A very active inquiry p reva il s f or di scoun t ac commodation, and even th e b es t paper -b a nk ers ' acceptances are not negotiable under 4 per cent. The supplies of capital have become very limited in consequence of some large withdrawals yesterday from the market. The bullion operations comprised an influx of 21,000 sovereigns from Alexandria, and 4,000 from Lisbon. During the last few days there has been a rather active business transacted in most descriptions of foreig n and colonial produce. Sugars have been in good demand at full rates ; in tea, however, the operations have been deferred until the public sales, which commence this day. Coffee was fully sup- Ported at previous rates, while rice has been in good request. Tallow, however, has been dull, and a Shade cheaper for back, present, and future delivery. Notice has been given by the Bank of England that on Friday, June 2, the £3 per Cent. Consols, New £5 per Cents., New £3 10s. per Cents., New £2 10s. per Cents., Annuities for Terms of Years, and India £5 per Cents. will be transferable without the dividend due on July 5 next ; also that the transfer books of East India Stock will shut on Tuesday, June 13, and open on Thursday, July 6.

His lordship made the decree absolute. The Queen's Advocate applied that the " journals" which had been put in in evidence might be returned to the petitioner. His Lordship said the papers and documents used during a trial were invariably handed back to the solicitors, but in the event of there being any trouble in procuring their re turn, if a future application was made to him he would assist the parties asking for their restoration.

This matter, which has been before the Court upon so many occasions recently, was brought under the notice of the Commissioner again this morning. An offer was made by the bankrupt to pay ss. in the pound, and upon the last occasion the RegiStrar, ruled that by a majority of the creditors the offer had been accepted. A resolution was prepared, and to-day Mr R. Griffiths, on behalf of the bank rupt, applied to his Honour to have it confirmed. Mr. Brough (for the assignee) objected. Mr. Griffiths—For whom do you appear ? Mr. Brough—For the assignee, Mr. Paul. Mr. Griffiths—He is not a creditor at all. Mr. Brough—Then I appear for a Mr. Goodwin, who is a creditor for £52. His Honour said that the objection was taken under the 186th Section of tho Act. , Mr. Brough submitted that such was the case, and con tended that some of the debts had been by no means proved. His Honour inquired if all the reward was yet in hand. Mr. Brough replied that the £lOO offered by the North London Railway Company had been retained by the com pany under the order of the bankrupt. His Honour then declined to confirm the resolution, and adjourned the consideration of the matter until the settle ment of the dispute concerning the reward offered by the North London Rail Way Company. IN RE CAVE. This bankrupt is described as a gentleman of Argyle square, St. Pancras, and Rossby Manor, Cork. To-day ho came up to pass his last examination, and for the order of discharge. The debts are £70,000, no amount being re turned as assets. The bankrupt made an offer to pay 4s. in the pound, which he stated would be done with the as sistance of his friends. The order of discharge was adjourned. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE CHARGE OF WILFUL MURDER OF A CHILD BY ITS MOTHER—CommlTTAL.—Elizabeth Suter, the young woman charged with the wilful murder of her female child, a month old, by drowning it in the Serpentine, was again brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt. The prisoner seemed in great agony of mind, and cried all the time she was in court. Mr. Johnson, inspector of the Hyde Park constables, attended to watch the case. The evidence taken on the former occasion was that of Police-constable Lloyd, 97 A, to whom the prisoner ad mitted making away with the child, as a woman to whom she had taken it would have nothing to do with it. Matilda Suter, of 9, North-street, St. Mark's-place, West Brompton, sister-in-law of the prisoner, said the prisoner on Thursday week lived with her, and had a child about six weeks old. Prisoner went out on Thursday week, saying she was going to take the child to the workhouse, where she had been confined. She returned the next day without the child,. and said she had left it at the work house. A little boy named Philip Golding, living at Eaton mews West, said ho was at the Serpentine, and saw something floating in the water. He got it to the water's edge, and then told the park constable. It was a baby. Hyde-park Constable 15 (Richard Henry Lacy) said that on Friday week his attention was called by the last wit ness to the body of a child in the water. He took it to the dead-house of Mount-street Workhouse, and on examining the body ho found it to be that of a female child. On one of the articles it was wrapped in was the name of " E. Suter." Ann Marsh, nurse at the St. Marylebone Workhouse, said the prisoner was delivered on the 16th of March, in the workhouse, of a female child. She remained in the workhouse a fortnight, and left of her own accord, taking away the child. She saw the body at the workhouse and recognised it by a particular mark on the forehead and eyes. She was certain it was the same child. Dr. Christian, of Thurloe-place, Brompton, proved seeing the body of the child at the workhouse, but found it impos sible to state the cause of death. There were no external marks of injury whatever. He had made a post-mortem examination, and the body was bloodless iri the extreme. The prisoner, who put no questions to any of the wit nesses, was then cautioned by Mr. Tyrwhitt, and asked if she wished to say anything. She replied that she had nothing to say, and she was then committed to the Central Criminal Court for trial. THAMES. DARING BURGLARY Als'D ROBBERY.—SamueI Parmenter, aged 35, of No. 1, Angel-gardens, Shadwell, carman, and Thomas Carey, 26, of No. 25, Norfolk-gardens, Shoreditch, shoemaker, were brought before Mr. Paget charged with burglariously breaking and entering the counting-house of Mark John Tompkins, contractor and proprietor of saw mills, Green-bank, Wapping, and stealing £52 in gold, £1 2s. 6d. in silver, £2 14s. 3d. in copper, and two £lO Bank of England notes. Mr. Wm. Stephens said he had a till in the counting house of Mr. Tompkins, in which he kept cash belonging to that gentleman and his own. There was £65 7s. 6d. in that till on Friday night last. A man slept in the upper part of the dwelling-house attached to the premises, and there was a private watchman there all night. The office was on the ground floor, and it was fastened up and secured in the usual manner on Friday evening. Next morning it was ascertained that the office had been broken into,, the till forced open, and all the money abstracted. Edward Dillon, a police-sergeant, No. 19 K, took the prisoners into custody yesterday. He found Parmenter in a house of bad repute in Angel-gardens, and said to him, " You told me on Saturday what was not true. You said you were in bed drunk early on Friday evening. I have evidence to prove you wore seen near Mr. Tompkins's pre mises. I must apprehend you ; you know what it is for." He found about 15s. upon the prisoner, and in his room 22 pawn-tickets. There was some new clothing in the room. On Saturday the prisoner told him that he had not the value of a pint of beer or a halfpenny in his pocket. He afterwards went to the dwelling of Carey, in Shoreditch, and told him he was suspected of being concerned in the burglary and robbery on Green-bank. lie asked the prisoner if ho had any money, to which he replied, " All that I have here is mine." Ho searched the prisoner's room and found three purses containing money. On turn ing over a bed there was a purse containing £lB in gold. There were small sums in the other purses, on the mantel shelf, and in other parts of the room. He also discovered in the same apartment four keys ; one of them was a skele ton key. The prisoner Carey bought £8 or £9 worth of new clothing on Saturday, and would give no account as to how ho became possessed of the money found in his Mr. Stephens said that there was an Australian sove reign and a bent half sovereign among the £lB found in the purse which he was able to identify. Frederick Morris, saddler and harness maker stated that he saw Parmenter loitering near the prosecutor's premises on Friday night. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners for a week. ADELPHI THEATRE.—MR. J. W. ANSON'S BENE FIT.—At this gentleman's benefit to-morrow (Wednesday) and following day (for Mr. Anson's many claims upon pub lic and professional appreciation can only be exhausted by a continuous entertainment), Miss Russell, the favourite English Soprano, will sing one of Verdi's sconas, and Flotow's adaptation of " The Last Rose of Summer," from the Opera of " Martha." THE GARDENER'S MAGAnsE.---The 'vigorous and entertaining successor to the Floricultural Cabinet, which Mr. Shirley Hibberd has raised to a leading position in the horticultural world, has been enlarged and improved, and the basis of its operations extended so as to take in Bee-keeping, Observations in Natural History, Botany, and other subjects appertaining to rural life. Mr. Hib berd's extensive acquaintance with practical horticulture and country pursuits, 9f which the public have had agree able evidences in his numerous works and magazine papers, will, we have no doubt, insure for his pet periodical still greater success than has already attended it. Such, at least, is our hope, and we wish him increased and increas ing prosperity, for no man amongst us has laboured more assiduously to make our homes happy and increase our national resources. It is stated in the Kreutz Zeitung of Berlin that the work of determining the boundary line between Schleswig and Jutland is now determined, as well as the financial arrangements with Denmark connected there with. Fatal Boat Accident off Fortishead, On Friday evening a boat accident took place off Portis head, resulting in the death of two persons. On Friday afternoon a party of friends met at Mr. Hooper's Royal , Marine Hotel, Avonmouth, and the weather being very tempting, they determined to enjoy a sail over to Portis , head. The party consisted of five gentlemen—Mr. Alonzo L Hooper, son of Mr. Hooper, of the Marine Hotel ; Mr. W. , Collins, Mr. Tanner, Mr. Sidney Bennett, and Mr. Scott, all of Bristol. The voyage to Portishead was accom plished in safety. The ,day, it will be remembered, was gloriously fine, and the excursionists enjoyed themselves . thoroughly. After staying at Portishead a short time, , preparations were made for the return voyage at about half-past six .o'clock. However, just as they were about to start Mr. Scott's hat blew off, and Mr. Tanner jumped on shore to secure it. 'When on shore a sudden freak took Mr. Tanner that he would not re-enter the boat. He states that he had some vague presentment of danger ; but, at all events, his abrupt decision saved him from the fearful perils which the party afterwards encountered. The others com menced their ill-fated voyage. Mr. Scott, who had steered the boat safely from Avonmouth to Portishead, again re sumed his seat at the tiller, Mr. Hooper, an experienced sailor, giving his attention to the arrangement of the sails and other necessary details. A few minutes after they had started the wizen became unshipped, and it was necessary for Mr. Hooper to remedy this little mishap immediately. A sudden squall sprung up, and the little vessel was allowed to run out into the channel much further than was prudent, and she became exposed to the fury of the gale. At the time the accident occurred the boat must have been on the tack, for a Sudden gust of wind swept over her and she was completely capsized. By good for tune the four men who were thus thrown into the water were enabled to lay hold of the boat. Messrs. Hooper and Collins, being expert swimmers, relieved themselves by swimming about, and while they were thus engaged the boat's mast fell out, and the vessel quickly righted herself. How the unfortunate excursionists got into her again it is impossible to say, but they all succeeded in doing so. Their position, however, was fearfully hazardous. They were almost exhausted with struggling in the water. Their sails were gone, the boat was half filled with water, and, tossed about by the boisterous waves, they were compelled to resign themselves to their fate. Under such appalling circumstances it is not at all wonderful that one of the party should have lost his presence of mind. Poor Bennett, terrified out of his senses, soreamed continually to his com panions to save him, and swayed backward and forward in his agitation. It was useless to attempt to persuade him that he was doingall he could to drown the whole four. The unfortunate man was perfectly deranged with fright, and it was the sad, but natural conclusion of such a scene that the boat should be capsized the second time. Though exhausted by their previous struggles, the agonising apprehensions under which the men now laboured gave them additional strength, and they clung to the bottom of the boat with fearful tenacity. But for the exertions of Hooper poor Bennett must have been put out of his misery at once. Not being able to swim a stroke he must have sunk immediately, but in his struggle he managed to catch hold of Hooper's leg. Hooper himself had got entangled in the ropes, but as he was holding on by the bottom of the boat he contrived to stoop down, seize Bennett by the arm, and enable him to clutch the boat. The other two had previously succeeded in accomplishing this object. At this moment they descried a barge belonging to Messrs. Danks and Co., traders to Gloucester, lying off in the roads, and they shouted with all their remaining strength and assistance. It is with indig nation and shame we have to say that their entreaties passed unheeded. Those on board the barge never offered them a helping hand, and the boat, with the four men clinging to it, swiftly floated by, their cries becoming fainter and fainter in the distance. Assistance, however, came to them in a most unexpected manner. After being in the water for about ten minutes or a quarter of an hour, dashed about as the waves listed, a pilot yawl from Pill hove in sight. This time the drowning men had not to implore in vain. Rapidly the rescuers bore down upon them, - but with the high tide which was running at the time it was with the utmost difficulty that the yawl could approach near enough to be of service. Collins and Hooper sprang from the boat on a last venture for their lives, anticipating that by that means they might get near enough to the yawl to seize the ropes which were thrown out to them. As we have said, they were both expert swimmers, and in such a sea they had need of all their skill and courage. At an opportune moment a line was thrown out, and Collins succeeded in grasping the friendly rope, by which he was drawn on board, and carefully tended by the brave fellows who had rescued him. Hooper was not so fortunate. Several times a rope was thrown over his head. but he had not strength to seize it, and as each failure occurred his powers of endurance were fast ebbing away. However, when . he was almost at the last gasp, the yawl suddenly veered round, one of the small lines hanging by the side came into his failing grasp, and friendly hands quickly laid hold of him and dragged him on board. His prostration at this moment was complete, end a quarter of an hour elapsed before his rude but expe rienced surgeons could restore any signs of animation . While this was going on the pleasure boat, with Scott and Bennett clinging to it, had drifted far away up Channel, and the approaching darkness hid them from the sight of those who might have rescued them. How long they held on their despairing course will never be known ; but judging from the condition in which Mr. Collins and Mr. Hooper were picked up it is evident that they could not have held out more than a few minutes. It is probable, indeed, that the last thing they saw was the rescue of Hooper, and that they must have suffered the bitterest pangs of disappoint ment in the midst of their death agonies. If there had been the slightest chance of rescuing them, we cannot but believe that the gallant men on board the pilot yawl would have persevered in their humane efforts; but the boisterous sea and the rising fury of the gale rendered this a matter of impossibility. To show the remarkable strength of the current, we may state that the accident occurred about half a mile off Portishead shortly after half-past 6 o'clock, and Hooper was picked up at the mouth of the old river about half-past 7.—Bristol Times.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAsT EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. OPENING OF THE BRITISH MUSEUM. Lord SHAFTESBURY presented petitions from compo sitors and others employed in London, praying that the British Museum might be open three nights in the week. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Liverpool improvement Bill and the Helston Road Bill were read a second. EMPLOYMENT OF CHILDREN IN MANU FACTORIES. In reply to the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, Earl GRANVILLE said that the report of the Comm!s sion on the employment of children in different branches of manufactures wasunder the consideration of the Govern ment, but it was not intended to bring in any bill' on the subject. ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. Earl RUSSELL rose in pursuance of the motion he had given last week to move an humble address to per Ma jesty to express the sorrow and indignation of that house at the assassination of the President of the United States ; and to pray her Majesty to communic,ate these sentiments on the part of the house to the Government of the United States. The noble lord said that her Majesty had already expressed her sentiments on this melancholy event by a letter of condolence to Mrs. Lincoln. As their lordships were aware, President Lincoln was elected by a large ma jority of his fellow-countrymen ; and the manner in which he discharged his duties reflected credit on the choice of h's countrymen. President Lincoln dis played so much integrity and straightforwardness, as well as kindness, that he was eminently qualified to allay the animosity that might remain after the close of the hosti lities. (Hear, hear.) His loss at the present moment was deeply to be deplored. He adverted next to the part which the President had taken in reference to the attempted abolition of slavery in America, and he said they must all sympathise with the American nation in the loss they had sustained at this critical juncture, and with reference to this particular subject of slavery. They were well aware of the difficulties that prevailed in preserving peaceful relations between this country and the United States during the prevalence of hostilities ; but the success that had attended their efforts in reference to this matter was promoted by the temper dis played by the Governments on both sides of the Atlantic. He trusted that the samo policy of non-inter vention which had hitherto guided their conduct in the late trying emergency would regulate them for the futuro in their relations with the United States. The Earl of DERBY said he would have preferred if the house had been called on to express its sympathy with the people of the United States without referring to the Crown, but he so entirely concurred in the spirit of the motion that it should have his assent. He thought the feeling of the country was universal on this subject, and that the house merely echoed that opinion. The crime which they all so deeply deplored could not be palliated ; but it would, he trusted, have one good result, by disabusing the public in the United States of any erro neous impression they might have entertained as to a hostile feeling in this country towards that country, which was proved by the deep and prompt expression of sympathy throughout the country in regard to the pre sent melancholy event. Having paid a graceful tribute to the late President in his private and political character, he expressed a hope that his successor would follow in his footsteps, and avoid anything calculated to protract the continuance of the civil war. If, unfortunately, angry feelings were aroused that would tend to drive the Confo deVate States to despair, they would in all probability suf fer extermination rather than submit. After some further observations, the noble earl concluded by seconding the motion. After a few words from Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFTE, the motion was agreed to. COMMON LAW COURTS BILL. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, this bill was read a second time. METROPOLITAN MAIN DRAINAGE BILL. This bill was read a second time. QUALIFICATION FOR OFFICES ABOLITION BILL. Lord HOUGHTON presented petitions in favour of this bill, and moved that the bill should be read a second time. The bill, after some discussion, was rejected upon a divi sion by 72 to 49. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Bedford and Northampton Railway ; Brierley Hill Gas; Bristol and Exeter and Devon and Somerset Railways ; Caledonian Railway (Barrhead and Paisley branches, &c.); Galway Water; Kidderminster, Stourport, and Bewdley Water ; London, Worcester, and South Wales Railway ; Preston Gas ; Rhyl and District Water ; Tiverton and North Devon Railway ; and Weald of Kent Railway. ACTON AND TWICKENHAM RAILWAY. Viscount ENFIELD moved that this bill be recommitted to the former committee. Viscount BURY opposed the motion on the ground that it had not complied with the standing orders, and had been rejected by the rererees. The house divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it 3B Majority —B6 The bill was therefore ordered to be recommitted. NATIONAL PICTURES. Mr. GREGORY asked the hon. member for Huntingdon shire, as trustee to the National Gallery, whether a picture belonging to the nation had been sent to Australia ; whe ther the person who sent that picture had a right to do so; and, if not, what steps the trustees of the National Gallery were about to take ? Mr. BARING said the picture in question was one be queathed to the nation by Mr. Jacob Bell, viz., " The Derby Day," by Mr. Frith, but there were certain arrangements with Mr. Gambar:, that he should have the picture for exhi bition for a certain time. That time expired, it was thought, in 1863, but Mr. Gambart claimed further time, and promised to return the picture in August next. The trustees of the National Gallery had written to the executors, but he begged to say they had no power over the picture until it had been placed under their control. ROAD REPAIRS. Mr. HANBURY asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department if his attention had been called to the state of the road lying between Newington -green and Hornsey ; and whether he was awaro that the duty of keeping in repair of that road was a disputed point between the parishes of Hornsey and Islington ? Mr. BARING said, as the cost would only be about £4O per annum, he hoped the two parishes would agree to some arrangement to prevent legal proceedings. TROOPS AT LUORNOW. In answer to General BUCKLEY, Sir C. WOOD said the service performed by the two detachments of the 64th Regiment were totally distinct. The one suffered all the hardships of being in Lucknow, while the other was never there at all. The first donation had been made by mistake, and that was the reason the second was withheld. THE TEA DUTIES. Mr. J. B. SMITH asked whether, as it was proposed to give effect to the new tea duties on Saturday next, any drawback would be allowed for stocks on hand, or whether time would be allowed dealers to dispose of their stocks. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said on Thursday next the resolutions would be submitted to the house, and ifagreed to it would be reported the following evening, and take effect the next day. He did not intend to make any alteration in the usual mode of proceeding, and therefore he had to inform the hon. gentleman that he could only give a negative reply to his question. With respect to the income tax, ho proposed to submit a clause to meet the difficulties that arose under clause 133, which was called the average clause. By the present arragement, if a person made a very large sum of money in one particular year, as the matter stood the party was enabled to exempt that year in the calculations, but the clause he should submit would prevent that for the future. ASSASSINATION OF PRESIDENT LINCOLN. The orders of the day having been postponed, v - Sir G. GREY rose to move an address to the Crown to express the sorrow and indignation of the House at the assassination of the President of the United States, and to pray her Majesty to communicate those sentiments, on the part of the House of Commons, to the Go vernment of the United States of America. He said he much regretted the unavoidable absence of his noble friend the head of the Government; but ho felt it comparatively unimportant by whom the motion was made, because he felt confident that it would meet with a unanimous assent. When the news first arrived but one feeling of horror ran through the land, and a general hope was expressed that it might not be true. Unfortunately, such was not the case ; but he hoped that the attempt made on the life of Mr. Seward would not prove fatal. (Hear.) Ho felt that the sympathies of the majority of the people of this country were with the people of the North. (No, no, and hear.) Ho begged to say he had the greatest desire to avoid saying anything that could tend to raise the slightest difference of opinion. (Hear, hear.) Whatever difference, therefore, might have ousted, and still did exist, he was sure they would all agree that there was but ono feeling of horror at the crime, and an unusual wish of condoling with a people whose chosen and trusted chief had been struck down by the hand of an assassin. Whatever difference of opinion there might be between them, he was sure none would withhold their admiration at tho gallant deeds and struggles that had been achieved by both sides in the struggle, and it would be but with feelings of the deepestdeepest regret that the struggle shoul d have been stained by such a crime. (Hear.) Just as a new era was opening —just as victory was crowning tho arms of the Federals, Mr. Lincoln was struck down—(hear) —and thus thatpolicy, the great object of which was to restore tranquillity to his country, was imperilled. The people of America were now deeply mourning the loss of Mr. Lincoln, but he hoped that the good sense and right feeling of those upon whom the direction of affairs had devolved would imitate the example of Mr. Lincoln. (Hear, hear.) He wished it was possible to convey to the people of America the depth and universality of the feeling that this terrible crime evoked—from the highest to the lowest but one feeling was entertained. (Hear, hear.) Her Majesty's Minister at Washington would convey to the Government of America her Majesty's feeling' on the matter (hear, hear), but her Majesty had written with her own hand a letter of condo lence to Mrs. Lincoln (loud cheers, and hear, hear), a letter from a widow to a widow, which he felt would be a comfort and a support to her under her severe and lamentable be reavement. He begged, in conclusion, to move the address which he had alluded to in his opening observations. Mr. DISRAELI, in seconding the 'notion, said there was no one but must feel the greatest sorrow at the terrible assassination of Mr. Lincoln, because throughout the whole of the struggle he had exhibited the greatest courage, com bined with the greatest magnanimity. Ho sprang from filo same fatherland and spoke the same mother tongue as Englishmen, and the feeling of horror at the crime was universal. (Hear, hear.) He could not speak how profound was the feeling of the people of this country for the people of America, whose elected chief had been struck down by the hand of an assassin. He could only express his hope that the same elevated sentiments and humane feeling that guided the late Presi dent Lincoln would be observed by those to whose guidance the affairs of America would devolve, and that the great struggle would result in America once more becoming a great and prosperous country. (Hear, hear.) The motion was then put from the chair, and carried unanimously. BANK NOTES ISSUE BILL. On the motion for the house going into committee on this bill, lir. AYRTON moved that the house would on that day month resolve itself into the said committee. He objected to the bill on many grounds ; and he was of opinion that instead of carrying out the policy of the late Sir R. Peel it-retarded it for at least 15 years. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS gave a general support to the bill, but suggested that if the Government was resolved to legislate for country issues they ought to take a wider view of the subject. Mr. CAVE partially :approved of the alteration doing away with the 65-mile limit around the metropolis, but thought the measure was in some respects an interference with the provisions of the Act of 1844. The discussion was continued by Mr. Neate, Mr. Black, Mr. Heygate, Mr. Hankey, Colonel Edwards, and Sir C. Wood. Sir S. NORTHCOTE and Mr. GOSCHEN were in favour of going into committee, as they did not consider it desirable to allow the question of banks of issue . to remain in its pre sent condition. Mr. HUBBARD opposed the bill, believing it would be delusive to attempt to improve it in committee. Ultimately Mr. AYItTON withdrew his amendment, and the house having gone into committee, the various clauses were agreed to. PARTNERSHIP AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. GIBSON moved the second reading of this bill, and explained that its object was to enable individuals to in vest money in mercantile undertakings and private partner ships without the liability of partnership ; to enable firms to give employes an interest in a concern without the latter actually becoming partners ; and to enable the widow and children of a deceased partner to take a share of profits without risk. Mr. JOHN PEEL opposed the bill as a dangerous inno vation, and moved as an amendment that it be read a second time that day six months. _ _ Mr. TURNER seconded the amendment, although he had no objection to the principle of limited liability. He be lieved the bill would lead to serious inconvenience and loss, by converting the lender of capital into an exhausting cre ditor. Mr. SCHOLEFIELD gave his support to the bill, which he characterised as fax better than that which he had him self introduced on the same subject. Some discussion followed, in the course of which the bill was opposed by Mr. H. Moore, Mr. Hubbard, Mr. Bovill, and Mr. Newdegate, and supported by the Attorney -Gene ral and Solicitor-General, Mr. Goschen, Mr. Maline., and Mr. Henley. On a division the amendment of Mr. Peel was rejected by 126 to 39, and the bill was read a second time, and ordered to.be committed on Monday next. The Waterworks Bill was read a second time and refer red to a select committee. Some other bills were advanced a stage, and the other business on the paper having been disposed of, the house adjourned at 5 minutes to 1 o'clock. A MUNIFICENT PATRON OF ART.—The "Dort," by Stanfield, and " The Interior of St. Stephen's Church, Vienna," by Roberts, were bought for Mr. Tite, M.P., and are now in his collection. The price of the two pictures was about 4,000 guineas. THE FAMOUS VELASQUEZ, acquired for the Na tional Gallery at the Pourtales sale of pictures,will soon be hung. THE LIFE OF MAZARIN, by M. Cousin, the MS, of which has just been placed in tho printer's hands, will shortly be published. • " FRANZ MULLER" is the name of a piece brought out on the stage' at Vienna, which is founded on the murder of Mr. Briggs, and the criminal proceedings which followed. The Unita Italiana, the organ of Mazzini, ap peared on the 26th ult. with black borders, on the occasion of President Lincoln's death. A collision took place at Havre the night before last off the building yard of M. Normand, the Spanish steamer Carmen having run in the French lugger Marie, at anchor in the roadstead, laden with coal. The latter vessel went down immediately. The crew was saved. THE TEA TRADE, May I.—The deliveries in Lon don, made up for the week, were 837,0031 b., which shows a decrease of 336,2311 b. as compared with the previous statement. A conference of the delegates of eight committees of assistance for the Poles took place last week at Aarau (Switzerland). at which General Langiewicz and Count Plater were present. It was determined to do nothing to induce the refugees to emigrate, but to leave them free to act as they thought proper. OLD FORD.—A stone coffin, containing a skeleton nearly entire, has been found in digging the foundations of a house at Old Ford, within a very short distance of the old "Roman Road," as it is called, from London to the ford of the River Lea. There is apparently no inscription on the coffin, which lies east and west, with the feet to the west. A telegraphic despatch from Messina states that the steamer Maoris, belonging to the Messageries Imps riales, and corresponding with the Indo-Chinese line, left that port at noon, on the 30th ult., for Marseilles, with 240 passengers, among whom were Admiral Jaurez and Ad miral de la Grandiere. The Maoris also carries 500 bales of cotton, 438 bales of silk, 1,525 packages of tea, and four millions of francs in specie. CIVIL SERVICE ESTIMATES.—The estimates for education, science, and art were issued yesterday. The total sum required is £1,362,821, an increase of £51,201 upon the grant of £1,311,620 made for the year 1864-5. The increase is caused by the estimate for "Science and Art Department" of £161,841, as compared with £135,582 ; by " Public Education, Ireland," increased from £316,770 to £325,583; by "British Museum," in creased from £92,127 to £100,164.; by " National Gal lery," increased from £13,876 to £23,336 ; and by a pro posed vote of £5,000 for the Universal Exhibition at Paris. The principal item of decrease is £12,326. For "Public Education, Great Britain," £693,078 is required instead of £705,404. DISAPPEARANCE OF CRINOLINE.-A contemporary remarks the common abatement, and, in circles that gather above the kitchen-stairs, the rapid disappearance of crinoline amongst us. It is happily true that the nuisance which spread dirt on sitters in public vehicles, demanded double space on the pavement and elsewhere, and incom moded every one but the wearer, is about to cease. That such is the case is curiously shown by the gigantic dimen sions of the articles which now distend tawdry and dirty garments when worn by women of the poorer classes. These always hold up the tail of the fashion.—Athenzum.
