The requirements of the commercial public have been rather heavy to-day, and discount accommoda tion has only been obtainable in the open market at 3 per cent. There were no bullion operations of importance at the Bank on Saturday. The Africa, from New York, has brought £4,600 Circulars have been issued announcing that the partnership hitherto existing between Mr. Hy. H. Toulmin, Mr. Calvert Toulmin, Mr. J. Livingston, Mr. George Holding, and Mr. G. It. Briggs, as shipowners, and ship and insurance agents, has been dissolved by mutual consent, so far as regards Messrs. H. H. Toulmin and C. Toulmin, who re tire from the firm. The remaining partners, Mr. J. Livingston, Mr. G. Holding, and Mr. G. R. Briggs, will continue to carry on the business un der the style of Livingston, Holding,:and Briggs. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business generally has been less active. At Manchester prices of both cloths and yarns have given way to some extent, while in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, only moderate dealings have been effected, chiefly in autumn goods. At Leicester and Nottingham there has been rather more activity in the hosiery and lace trades ; while at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there has been little change of importance. The suspension has been announced of Messrs. F. Osterrath and Co., merchants and agents, of Upper Thames-street. The stoppage has also taken place of Messrs. C. J. Nasmyth and Co., East India merchants, but heir liabilities are stated to be small. SHARE MARKETS—This day. Share! Railways. 13.14 Mr., Wol., & Str. Val.

MARKETS---This Day. MARK-LANE. In the country markets, held on Saturday, wheat moved off steadily, and prices ruled firm. The supplies of barley, oats, beans, and peas on sale were small, and the trade for all those articles was firm at full currencies. Flour was in fair demand at quite previous rates. On the Continent the trade both for wheat and spring corn is firm at fully late prices. At New York the export demand for wheat and flour is still very limited, and the quantity of produce afloat from American ports to this country is small. Somewhat increased supplies of English wheat and flour were received up to our market last week, but the arrivals of spring corn were small. The imports from abroad amounted amounted to 14,620 quarters of wheat, 2,716 barley, 50,446 oats, 1,175 beans, 15 peas, 3,462 lin seed, 3,620 rape and oilseeds, 80 sundry seeds, and 810 sacks of flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were small ; but nearly the whole of the produce was received in excellent condition. Owing to the fine ness of the weather, and the very favourable accounts respecting the crops in this country, the trade both for red and white qualities of home grown wheat was decidedly less active than on Monday last A tolerably good clear ance of the supply, however, had been effected at the close of business at about the late advance in the quotations ; yet sales progressed slowly, and the tendency of prices was in favour of buyers. Only a moderate supply of foreign wheat was on the stands. In most descriptions a fair business was transacted and prices ruled firm. The supply of good and prime old foreign produce on offer was limited, and such qualities sold readily at fully late rates. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request at full currencies. Very little English barley was on offer, but the market was moderately, though far from extensively, supplied with foreign produce. The trade was firm both for grinding and distilling qualities, and last Monday's currency was well supplied. Malt was in but moderate request, at previous quota tions. The supply of oats on sale was chiefly confined to foreign produce. As compared with Friday, there was certainly more activity in the trade, and tho prices realised were about equal to those current on Monday last. In most qualities a fair business was transacted. Beans were in short supply, and the trade ruled firm at fully late rates. Peas—the supply of which on sale was limited—moved off steadily at fully late prices. The flour trade was steady, at full currencies. French flour, of which there was a fair supply on offer, sold steadily at full quotations. Very little barrel flour was on sale. CURRENCY PER IMP.

There was a large supply of foreign stocks on offer here to-day, chiefly in middling condition. Amongst it were 1,300 beasts frem Tonding. Some of the Dutch beasts realise 4s 8d per 81bs. The arrivals of stock fresh up from our own grazing districts were very moderate. For good and prime beasts the demand ruled steady, and in some few instances the quotations had an upward tendency. Otherwise, the beef trade was dull at about last Monday's currency. The best Scots and crosses realised 5s per 81bs. A few very superior Scots at 5s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 900 Scots, &c. ; from Lincolnshire, and North amptonshire, 1,200 short-horns, &c.; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland, 220 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 60 oxen and heifers. The show of Fnglish sheep was very limited, about a moiety of the total supply being derived from abroad, but in fair average condition. Downs, half-breds, Lincolns, and Leicesters moved off steadily on rather higher terms. Inferior sheep were a slow inquiry at late rates. The top figure was 6s per 81bs. Lambs—the supply of which was moderate—sold slowly at from Gs to is 4d per 81bs. We had a steady sale for calves at slightly enhanced rates. The top quotation was 5s 2d per 81bs.

President Johnson has issued a proclamation ap pointing Andrew J. Hamilton, of Texas, and James Johnson, of Georgia, Provisional Governors of their respective States. The proclamations are the same as those previously promulgated making similar appointments for North Carolina and other States. Provisional Governor Holden, of North Carolina, has issued a proclamation calling for a convocation to amend the State Constitution, elect a Governor and Legislature, and restore the complete rule of civil law in that State. The Governor exhorts the people to become loyal, good, and useful citizens. He officially announces to the coloured people their freedom, and hopes they will become industrious, as otherwise they cannot escape extinction. He promises to be their friend if they do right, but declares that he will aid in inflicting prompt punish ment upon the idle and vicious. The Secretary of State has addressed the follow ing letter to Secretary Welles:— " Department of State, June 17, 1865. " Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of the Navy. " Sir,--I have the honour to inform you that it has been made known to this department, by the Minister of the United States residing in France, that the Imperial Government of that country has removed all restrictions heretofore imposed by it upon the naval intercourse with the United States. I have also the pleasure to inform you that I have learned in the same authentic manner that the Im perial Government of France has withdrawn from the insurgents of the United States the character of belligerents, which heretofore that Government had conceded to them; and these proceedings by the Government of France have been prompted by the express desire of reviving the old sympathies between the two nations whose interests and traditions in vite them to cultivate the most cordial relations. " I beg leave to suggest the importance of com municating these facts to the proper officers of the navy.—l have the honour to be, &c., &c. " WILLIAM H. SEWARD." A Washington despatch states that the Govern ment, having received information that the British Government has withdrawn its concession of belligerent rights to the rebels, Secretary Seward has written to Sir F. Bruce acknowledging the receipt of Earl Russell's despatch, and expressing the gratification of the President at the action of the British Government. The Secretary, .however, renews his protest against the joint action of the British and French Govern ments conceding belligerent rights to the insurgents, as an unfriendly act and contrary to international law. He also expresses regret at the reservation contained in Earl Russell's despatch in favour of Confederate cruisers, and demands that such ves sels shall be delivered up to the United States.' He also declares the right and intention of the United States Government to capture such piratical craft under whatever flag they may be placed, refusing to recognise the validity of any transfer that may be be made. The Secretary has addressed the follow ing to Mr. Welles : Department of State, June 19, 1865. " Hon. Gideon Welles, Secretary of Navy : " Sir,—l have the honour to transmit for your information a correspondence between Sir Frederick W. Bruce, and this Department, on the subject of the withdrawal of the pretended concession of bel ligerent rights to the insurgents. In view of this Correspondence I suggest, therefore, that you com municate to the naval officers of the United States the results following therefrom, viz.—Firs. Great Britain withdraws her concession heretofore made of a belligerent character from the insurgents. Second. The withdrawal of the twenty-four hour rule has not been made absolute by Great Britain, and that, therefore, the customary courtesies are not to be paid by our vessels to those of the British navy. Third. The right of search of British vessels is terminated. Of course this has no bearing on the operation of the existing slave trade treaty. Fourth. Any insurgent or piratical vessel found upon the high seas may be lawfully captured by vessels of the United States.—l have the honour to be, &c., " WILLIAM H. SEWARD." The arguments of the counsel for Mrs. Surratt, Harold, O'Laughlin, and Arnold, were read on the 19th inst. before the Military Court, at Washington. Hon. Reverdy Johnson, counsel for Mrs. Surratt, delivered an able and lengthy argument denying the jurisdiction of the court over the cases before it, and contending that the civil courts only could properly try the accused persons. Mr. Johnson quoted the Constitution at some length to sustain his argu ment. He contended that. Mrs. Surratt having, as had been proved by respectable witnesses, always sustained the character of a devout Christian, and a well-educated, affectionate, and charitable woman, there was nothing in the evidence of such men ,as Weichnaan and Lloyd to justify the charges against her. In his opinion there 'were better grounds for suspicion against those witnesses themselves, their intimacy with Booth and Payne being admitted. The argument of F. Stone, Esq., counsel for Harold, was then read. He also denied the juris diction of the court. He admitted that Harold had aided Booth to escape, but claimed that no evidence had been produced implicating him in the assassi nation conspiracy. His innocence was established by Booth's own dying declaration, " I declare, be fore my Maker, that this man is innocent," wherein Booth referred to Harold, whom he had only used as a guide on account of his knowledge of the roads. Harold, in that capacity, had been guilty of a grave crime, but his offence extended no further, and, in punishing even that, this court should' act mercifully. Mr. Cox, in behalf of Arnold and O'Laughlin, offered an elaborate argument of considerable length. The accused had been arraigned upon a single charge, on complicity in a crime located in Washington. Witnesses for the prosecution bad been allowed to depart after little or no cross-examination. The purlieus of Toronto and Montreal had been involved in the evidence, also New York and St. Albans. " During the trial," said Mr. Cox, " we have visited the fever hospitals of the British Isles, the prison pens at Andersonville, Belle Isle, and Lebby, and penetrated the secret councils of Richmond." Under the charges against the prisoners for conspiring to assassinate the President and others, Jefferson Davis and his associates had been tried and, in the judg ment of many, convicted of starving, poisoning, arson, and other crimes too numerous to mention ; but by no possible ingenuity could these foreign matters be used to the prejudice of the accused. Arnold and O'Laughlin, although possibly identified with the conspiracy at first, had abandoned it some time before its execution. They might be charged with sympathy with the plot, but could not be accused of participation in its execution. The only plot in which they had actually committ 3d themselves was the first scheme, that to kidnap the President. Mr. Cox contended that the evidence established the fact that O'Laughlin and Arnold took no part whatever in the execution of the conspiracy set forth in the charges against them ; and he therefore claimed for them an unqualified acquittal. In con clusion, he reminded the court that they were not sitting in judgment on all the errors of the lives of the accused, but only to decide the single ques tion of their guilt under the charges preferred. The Court then adjourned until two p.m. on the following day. Mrs. Surratt ha ,1 to be taken out of the court-room on account of severe illness. Quite an excitement was recentlyproduced among the troops of the Fourth Army Corps encamped near Nashville, upon the reading of the order for them to depart for Texas. Some of the men became in subordinate, and quite a number have deserted. Resolutions were adopted by the troops declaring that they volunteered for the purpose of maintaining the Union, and that their mission having been ac complished, they were entitled to go home ; and, further, that in sending them to Texas, it appeared that the Government had a secret intention to use them in war in Mexico, which proceeding they de nounced in advance, and demanded their discharge from United States service. The Medical Inspector of the United States Army, Col. Lyman, has been ordered to inquire into the, cause of the excessive mortality among the Con federates still confined in Northern prison camps. It is supposed that depression of spirits has ren dered them unusually susceptible to disease, a pe culiarity said to have been observed throughout the war among troops of both sections after experiencing defeat. The mortality among the Confederates has recently increased very greatly. The Shaksperian sentence, "If 'twere done when 'tis done, then 'twere well 'twere done quickly," put in the mouth of Jefferson Davis, by the Northern press, on the occasion of his hearing, at Danville, of Mr. Lincoln's assassination, proves to have been a pure invention of some newspaper correspondent. It is now ascertained that Mr. Davis simply said, " This is an ircredible communication," and did not even authorise the reading of the telegram to the crowd. Nothing concerning Mr. Davis's captivity has recently been published. 'Numerous incendiary fires are occurring through out the country. On the 18th the United States Hotel at Saratoga and other buildings at Saratoga Springs were destroyed. Up to the 19th 150,000 troops had gone North from Washington to be mustered out of service. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Registrar Murray.) IN RE THE MISSES PELHAM.-THE NEW ROYALTY. These bankrupts, Sophia and Harriet Pelham, of 50, Osborne-terrace, Clapham-road, the lessees of the New Royalty Theatre, Dean-street, Soho, came up to-day for proof of debts. Amongst the creditors were Mr. Caldwell, of 19 and 21, Dean-street, Soho, £450 (holds an I 0 U for £165); Lawrence Levi, attorney, Henrietta-street, Covent garden, £55; Mr. Howard Paul, £10; and some West-end tradesmen for various amounts—the total debts already filed being about £1,200. The cause of the bankruptcy is stated to be " outlay in the New Royalty Theatre and non success." POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. BOW-STREET. Threo men named Smith, Mason, and Carroll wer e placed at the bar on remand, charged with uttering coun terfeit coin. Tho prisoners, it was stated, went into the Black Sea public-house, in Bell-yard, and there, in payment for re freshment, tendered the bad money. On the fact being discovered they ran away, but were captured by the police. A number of former convictions wore proved against Mason. The magistrate committed the whole of the prisoners for trial. A SUPPOSED LUNATIC.-A female, of the name of War dell, was brought before Mr. Flower by the nurse and surgeon of the Strand Union, for the purpose of being examined and passed to the County Lunatic Asylum. Mr. Rogers, the district surgeon, said that Mrs. Wardell was found by the policeman in an empty house, and when she was placed before the magistrate, at the court, he sent her, owing to her destitute state, to the infirmary in the Strand Union. While there it was discovered she was insane, and now she was brought here for the purpose of being trans ferred to the establishment at Hanwell. Mrs. Wardell, who appeared to be perfectly sane, said she hoped his worship would not give his assent to her being locked up in a lunatic asylum for life. She was per fectly competent to take care of herself, and the present was merely an attempt to get her separated from her hus band at the public expense. Mr. Flower desired that the husband might be sent for, and, on his arrival, ho said he had done everything in his power to comfort and take care of his wife. She was, un fortunately, possessed with the delusion that she was being followed about by some secret enemy, and hence her pre sent condition. Mrs. Wardell said it was untrue. She was persecuted by her enemies, and her husband ill-used her. She was not insane. She was quite ready to be submitted to any competent person for his opinion. Unkindness had been the means of disturbing her to a great extent, but certainly not to madness. The unfortunate woman was then remitted back to the Infirmary till Saturday next. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DARING ROBBERY IN HYDE PARK.—Thomas Morris, a young man, described as of "no home, labourer," was charged, before Mr. Knox, with stealing a watch from tho person of Mr. Frederick Shepherd, steward to a lady re siding at Leggatt's, North Minims, Herts. Mr. Shepherd said—Between seven and eight o'clock on Saturday evening I was walking across Hyde-park, when the prisoner came behind me, put his band round into my waistcoat pocket, and took my watch, breaking it off at the bow. I collared him, and a gentleman, on my calling out, came to my assistance, and took the watch from the prisoner's hand. The prisoner was very violent, and re sisted a good deal, but he was detained till a park-con stable came up, when he was given into custody. Mr. Arthur Goddard, of No. 62 A, Cannon-street West, said—l saw the prosecutor and the prisoner struggling together, and hearing the prosecutor say he had been robbed I went to his assistance, and took the watch from the prisoner's hand, and then secured him till the park constable arrived. Mr. Knox—Mr. Goddard, you rendered very efficient aid. James Sandford, a park-constable—The prisoner was very violent on being taken into custody, kicked several times, and tried to throw me. The prisoner—l wish you would settle it hero. I'd much rather be dealt with at once. Mr. Knox—l dare say you would, but I shall have in quiries made respecting you, and you are remanded. THAMES. TILE PERA74/11:LATOIt IN THE WAY.—Sarah Dixon, a fat young woman, was brought before )Ir. Partridge charged with assaulting Mrs. Sarah Cohen, the of an outfitter, of No. 65, Upper East Smithfield, opposite the Katherine Dock. The complainant stated that yesterday (Sunday) after noon she was wheeling two of her children along the foot path, in front of her own house, when she heard some very foul abuse and threats from a voice behind her, and on turning round saw the prisoner, who struck her a violent blow on the loft side of the face, and drove her into the road. Tho perambulator and the children were nearly turned over. She bled a good deal from the mouth. Frederick Martin, 135 11, found the prosecutrix with her face swelled and her lip bleeding. He took the prisoner into custody, and she said, "I shall get off with this on payment of a fine of 10s., and I don't care for that." The prisoner said, in her defence, that the perambulator was in the way, and she could not pass. She requested Mrs. Cohen to move it on one side and lot her pass, which she refused to do, and drew the vehicle over her feet. She then slapped the woman's face. Mrs. Cohen denied that the perambulator was in the way ; and Mr. Stoddart, her solicitor, called two respect able witnesses, who confirmed her evidence in every par ticular. Mr. Partridge said the assault was quite unjustifiable, and fined the prisoner 205., and in default 14 days' impri sonment. . . The Prisoner—That is as much again than I expected. WESTMINSTER. MIDNIGHT AMtSEMENT.—Edward Young was charged before Mr. Selfe with assaulting Police-Sergeant Suther land under the following circumstances. The officer stated that about half-past 1 o'clock that morning ho heard a noise in Chester-street. He went to the spot and found a crowd of persons collected, and upon making inquiries he ascertained that two men were run ning a race. He went in the direction they had gone and met two men who were nearly naked, and who were run ning the race. Several of the crowd wished him not to interfere, some of whom observed that if he received a pint of ale he would not stop the race. The prisoner was one of them. Witness endeavoured to induce him to leave, but he would not. A gentleman who lives close by said that he had been greatly annoyed by the crowd, and ho offered witness all the assistance he could. Ho was told that one of the pedestrians was a servant of Sir ---- Rothschild, Bart. The prisoner said that he bad been drinking, and, that had he been sober he should not have interfered. He was sorry for what he had done. Dfr. Selfe—Then you are only fined 2s. 6d The fine was paid. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE—This Day. CITY BETTING—THIS DAY.

The gallant Admiral's decision is as follows : " The Molyneux Cup being advertised as confined to £3OO in specie, Windham is winner of £290; deducting , by Rule 64, his own stake. Nothing c an b e worse than' the present system of ostensibly offering public money with a great per tentage to be paid back, and nothing can be more unjust to the horse's owner. The winner of a £lOO plate, with £2O deducted to go back to the fund, is obliged to carry a penalty of weight for winning £loo.—l am, yours, & c ., " H. J. Rot's." From the above decision it appears that Admiral Rous himself has great doubts in regard to the weight Windham ought to have carried, as he says winners of plates with money deducted have to carry the full penalty. Mr. Barber protested against his decision, and appealed to the Jockey Club. The following very curious paragraph, which is extracted from Bell's Life, will account for the objection being withdrawn : "It having been pretty well circulated that prior to his departure overnight for London instructions were left by Mr. Barber to withdraw the objection lodged on Tuesday against Windham, in the event of the The Clown's success, the following brief notice was then put up :—' Members' Plate. —The objection against Windham has been withdrawn. RICH. JOHNSON: " Of course, if the objection against Windham had been sustained by the Jockey Club, Mr. Barber knew that The Clown, if he won, would be disqualified. It would be well if one uniform rule were.adopted at the various meetings, as the conditions of several of the races are so vague that the framers of the handicaps and the stewards themselves can scarcely interpret them. The Mewmarket July Meeting commences to-morrow, and Robin Hood and The Student will fight their dead heat over again in the July Stakes, which one of them ought to win—the only dark outsider that may make them lower their colours being PREEDOM, Lord Stamford's re presentative, who is reported a clipper. The Chesterfield Stakes will be won by either Student or Dalesman. The Worcestershire Handicap will be carried off by either Suc cess or Bradamante, and the Cumberland Plate by Harry Brailsford.

No sporting man or book-maker ought to be without a copy, as they can see at a glance the performances of every horse that has run this year up to that period. The July number will be published on Wednesday. 10 f 31 ,ITIES. SWIMMING. This morning, between the comparatively early hours of seven and eight, the Serpentine in Hyde-park was the scene of the most interesting, exciting, and well contested swimming match ever known, between Mr Gurr, the champion two mile swimmer, and Mr. Coulter, the cap tain of the Serpentine Swimming Club; the distance being 1000 yards, and the stakes £25 a-side. Long before six o'clock spectators of varied degree assembled around the Serpentine; by half-past seven the number had reached from 8,000 to 10,000. It may be remarked that a considerable number were ladies. Nor were the spectators confined to pedestrians, for a host of carriages, of various kinds, lined the sides of the water. Tho greatest amount of interest was manifested. The betting was 10 to 4on Gurr. A beautiful start was effected at 20 minutes to eight o'clock, both reaching the water at the same moment, and from the begin ning to the end a most exciting struggle was kept up. Starting from the bridge near Albert-gate, they swam neck to neck to half the distance (first boat house), which they did in eight minutes. Coulter here took a slight lead of say a foot, but only for a short distance, Gurr reaching him, and they swam neck to neck again till within 100 yards of the bridge, when Gurr shot forward and headed his opponent some two yards. Coulter, how ever, caught him, and neck to neck for the third time they struggled until a few yards from home, when Gurr managed to head his worthy competitor, and became the winner by about a yard and a half only. The whole distance was done in exactly 17 minutes. Mr. Reed acted as referee. It is only fair to say that while Gurr has been in training doing his four miles a day, Coulter has been prevented by his daily duties from training even slightly. Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day.

Saturday was appointed for the hearing of the sum mons, at the Wandsworth Police-court, against the Earl of Winchilsea and Nottingham for smoking a cigar in the Vauxhall Railway Station, but he did not appear. After waiting some time after the hour namod in the summons, Mr. Dayman inquired whether there were any parties present. Mr. L. Crombie, the law clerk to the South-Western Railway Company, said he was prepared with witnesses to go on with the case ; but he was afraid from a letter which had been received from the defendant that he would not appear. Mr. Dayman—What reason does he give ? Mr. Crombie then read a letter, of which the following is a copy : " 32, Albemarle-street, June 28, 1865. " Sir,—l demand the instant dismissal of the station master, name of Alter, at your Vauxhall station, who has had the effrontery to apply for a summon 's, involving a breach of privilege, against me at the Wandsworth bench, for what he has the impudence to term smoking contrary to your bylaws. I beg you to observe that the piece of impudence involves a breach of the privilege of the House of Lords, and that, you, the chairman of the company, shall be held responsible for it. " WINCHILSEA AND NOTTINGHAM." To the Chairman of the South-Western, Railway, &c." It Wag taplained that the earl had made a mistake with regard to Alter. He was the officer who applied for the summons on behalf of Mr. Bent, the company's superin tendent of police. Mr. C:ombie said the earl was liable to be summoned like any other person. Mr. Dayman said the usual course was to give an hour's grace, and if no appearance was made to grant a second sumons. Shorty' efore 12 o'clock the case was again mentioned, and Mr. Dayman remarked that he would note wait any longer, as it was not probable that the earl would attend after the letter he had sent. Mr. Crombie then said that he should apply for a second summons, to be marked "peremptory." Ultimately a second summons was granted, and Mr. Crombie said it would be better for the secretary of the company to write to the earl, as he had addressed the chair man, intimating that it was necessary for him to appear to prevent the issuing of a w rrant. Mr. Dayman said the costs of the witnesses would be taken into consideration when the case was heard. THE DEPARTURE OF HER MAJESTY FOR OSBORNE. —Her Majesty, with the younger members of the royal family, attended by the Court, is expected to leave IN ind sor Castle for Osborne a few days after the baptism of the infant son of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Prin cess of Wales.

NEW ACT oN DOGS.—On Saturday an Act of Parliament was printed to render owners of dogs in England and Wales liable for injuries to cattle and sheep. An owner can be summoned before a magistrate where the damage shall not exceed £5. Tho occupier of a house or premises where any dog was kept or permitted to live or remain at the time of the injury is to be deemed to be the owner of such dog, unless the ocupier can prove that he was not the owner at the time the injury complained of was committed, and that such dog was kept or permitted to live or remain in the house or premises without his sanc tion or knowledge.

PATTEN moved to rescind Standing Order 60, and to insert the following in lieu thereof :—ln the case of a railway bill authorising the construction of works by other than an existing railway company incorporated by Act of Parliament, and which has during the year last past paid dividends on its ordinary share capital a sum not less than 8 per cent, on the amount of the estimate of expense, and in the case of all bills other than railway bills a sum not less than 4 per cent. on the amount of such estimate, shall previously to the 15th January be deposited with the Court of Chancery in England, if the work is intended to be done in England, or with the Court of Chancery in Eng land, or the Court of Exchequer in Scotland, if such work is intended to be done in Scotland, and with the Court of Chancery in Ireland, if such work is intended to be done in Ireland. The motion was agreed to. - THE CASE OF MR WINSLOW. Major S. KNOX asked the Attorney-General whether it was true that a pension had been granted by the Lord Chancellor to Mr. Winslow, late one of the Masters in Lunacy; and, if so, the amount of such pension, the grounds upon which it was granted, and whether it was refused by a former Chancellor ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the Lord Chan cellor, it was quite true, had awarded a pension of £l,OOO publictoLord r s d e r van t. Chancellor per annum to M r . Wi ns l ow, w h o had been for 30 years a lnlB U s9 he ll lm r s . f W or i d, prayin g nslo pi• pr es ented e n thatted ahise petition ase might be taken into consideration, he having been com pelled to resign his appointment through pecuniary pres sure. Before Lord Chancellor Chelmsford had time to de termine the matter, a change took place, and then a delay of two years occurred. A petition was, at the end of that time, presented to the present Lord Chancellor, and it was accompanied by letters of recommendation from Lord Lyndhurst, and a number of eminent legal gentlemen, and even a letter from Lord Chelmsford, stating that it would give him great pleasure to hear that the prayer of Mr. Winslow's petition had been granted. The Lord Chan cellor having consulted the law officers of the Crown and Mr. Bacon, he was assured he had the power to grant the pension, notwithstanding the lapse of time. The pension was then conferred, but its amount was not £1,200, but £l,OOO. THE DUNGARVAN ELECTION. Mr. HEYGATE asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether Mr. Barry who had made use of certain very strong language at Dungarvan, and who appeared to hold ultra and very advanced Socialist doctrines, was the law adviser to the Castle at Dublin ? Sir R. PEEL disclaimed that Mr. Barry was a Govern ment candidate. With respect to Mr. Barry, he had autho rity from him to deny most positively the words attributed to him. Mr. VERNER asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland if his attention had been given to the proceedings which are stated to have taken place at a public dinner in Dublin in honour of Mr. Gavan Duffy, at which the health of her Majesty was reluctantly and not very respectfully proposed, and received with general hissing and disapprobation, and likewise to the presence there of two members of this house, the members for Youghal and Dungarvan, the for frier one of her Majesty's counsel and the latter holding the commission of the peace, neither of whom was represented to have expressed disapproval of the disloyal conduct of the assembly. He should like to know what steps the Irish Government intended to take in the matter. Sir R. PEEL said he believed the dinner referred to was a private one, reporters, however, being present, given to a gentleman who had been absent from Ireland many years. (Laughter.) He (Sir R. Peel) was not responsible for the opinions of the gentlemen who spoke at• that dinner. With respect to the toast, " The Health of her Majesty," he be lieved it was given and responded to in the usual loyal manner. He thought the proper course for the hon. gen tleman opposite was to put his questions to the two hon. members referred to. (Hear, hear.) The Lords' amendments to the Local Government Supplemental Bill were considered and agreed to. The Lords' amendments to the Navy and Marines (Pro perty) Bill were also considered and agreed to. The Naval Discipline Act Amendment Bill was road a second time. • The Foreign Jurisdiction Act Amendment Bill passed through committee. The Rochdale Vicarage Bill passed through committee, and was reported without amendment. VOTE OF CENSURE ON THE LORD CHANCELLOR Mr. HUNT then rose to make the following motion : " That the evidence taken before the committee of this house, on the Leeds Bankruptcy Court, discloses that a great facility exists for obtaining public appointments by corrupt means; that such evidence, and also that taken be fore a committee of the House of Lords in the case of Leonard Edmunds, and laid before the house, shows a laxity of practice and want of caution on the part of the Lord Chancellor, in sanctioning the grant of retiring pen sions to public officers over whose heads grave charges are impending, and in filling up the vacancies made by the re tirement of such officers, whereby great encouragement has been given to corrupt practices ; that such laxity and want of caution, even in the absence of any i ra _ p ro p e r motive, are, i n the opinion of this house, highly reprehensible, and ca lculated to throw di scre dit on the administration of the high offices of State." The hon. gentleman said he was fully impressed with the importance of the step he was taking, because it was, in fact, a vote of censure upon the Lord Chancellor, who was at once the keeper of the Queen's conscience, the judge of the High Court of Chancery and the Speaker of the House of Peers. He had felt it to be his public duty to bring nN he a. avdso tlohvifmatterent appointment p the highest puhoci under hgnhtanenis t ete h nn e t orenormous fouals importanceatconsiderationhoetuh judges o uat that g f thef theesi patronage—one holders e , a c n a u it l was et ee the i land, h the highest to the lowest, should be above suspicion ) The hon. gentleman then proceeded to read copious ex tracts from the voluminous ,report ,of the committee, and also to compare the evidence of the different witnesses, in order to justify the house agreeing to his motion. (LEFT SITTING.) [The house became very full soon after the hon. gentleman commenced his speech. Lord Palmerston and the whole of the .members of the Government were present on the Ministerial benches, while those of the Opposition were occupied by Mr. Disraeli, Lord Stanley, and all the principal members of the Conservative party. The gal-. lanes appropriated to members of the House of Peers and, the Diplomatic Corps were all filled, and the greatest in terest appeared to exist on the subject.] lel ed de 204 10 100 100 100 100 {lOO 2 100 100 100 100 101 100 100 190 100 100 1 , 0 100 100 101 2 4. i 103 21 83 4 1021 Bil
