THE LATE CARDINAL WISEMAN. Born in Seville Died in London 15th February, 1865. Abroad, but more particularly in all the Catholic countries, in Italy, in France, in Belgium, and in Spain especially, the announcement of the death of Cardinal Wiseman will have been received with profound regret. His reputation was more than European. He was conspicuous for more than merely rare abilities. He was endowed with more than simply a capacious and vigorous intellect. He was a man of genius. As a great linguist, as a ripe scholar, as a man of profound learning, Cardinal Wiseman was a personage of mark and distinction even in an age when, among the holders of the same princely dignity, were numbered such giants of erudition and of philology as Cardinal Mai and Cardinal Mezzofanti. On the continent, as our contemporary the Morning Post of to-day re marks, and with reason, he was regarded as a great man. It was only the other day that one of the very foremost intellects of our age— allusion being here made to the Rev. John Henry Newman—took occasion, in his famous Apologia pro vita sua to speak of Cardinal Wiseman in terms expressive of the highest admiration and veneration —words that, coming from a man like Dr. New man, were of themselves an enviable panegyric. How completely Cardinal Wiseman had conquered the good opinion of his fellow-countrymen and fellow citizens, here in England, during the fifteen years that have elapsed since the formation of the Catho lic Hierarchy, of which, since 1850, the deceased Cardinal was, until yesterday, the head or spiritual chief as " Archbishop of Westminster," the opi nions now being expressed upon all hands by the journalists of England afford a very signal and significant indication ! These spon taneous and earnest opinions are of them selves, in their way, no less distinctly a panegyric than the notable allusions already referred to as occurring so very recently in the pages of " Newman's Apologia." The angry feelings evidenced in 1850, are, in truth, past and done with, long ago ! And the fact that it is so is of itself an attestation of the singular combination in the late Chief of the Roman Catholic Church in England—of a dignity and a discretion capable, by their conciliatory influence in their combination, of conquering all prejudices, even those that appeared to be the most rooted and ineradicable. Even in England, Cardinal Wiseman was a popular man. Among his co -religionists he was beloved and revered. But, apart from them, in the midst of the general public, in assemblages of Protestants and Dissen ters, the deceased Cardinal was always of late years received with the respect due alike to his learning and to his virtues. It was only a very few years since, upon the occasion of the canonization of the Japanese Martyrs, that—upon the gathering together, at Rome, of Catholic Bishops and Archbishops from the ends of the earth, to the number, hitherto un precedented, of 400 wearers of the mitre—Cardi nal Wiseman found upon his arrival in the Eternal City that the chair of the Presidency of the small and carefully selected inner council or committee, chosen from among those four hundred bishops, archbishops, and cardinals, thus gathered together there at Rome, from all the countries of the world, had been reserved for himself ! It was even more re cently than that, that our leading contemporary the Times contained, as many may yet remember, a leading article, in which the probabilities (as it appeared to them) of Cardinal Wiseman's elevation to the pontifical throne under the style and title of Pope Pius X., were seriously discussed. Incidents—these two last mentioned—clearly indica tive of the estimation in which, during his lifetime, Cardinal Wiseman was held both Abroad and in England. Now that he has passed away from amongst us, it is significant of the worth and splen dor of his reputation that he should in this manner be spoken of by the journalism of England, not in one or two individual instances, not alone by our selves, but—as the following extracts will serve to show—by the whole mass of our contemporaries : (From the Times) We regret to learn that the long illness of his Eminence Cardinal Wiseman has at length reached a fatal termination. He died yesterday, at the com paratively early age of 62. Nicholas Wiseman was the son of the late Mr. James Wiseman, merchant, of Waterford and of Seville, in which latter city the late Cardinal was born on the 2d of August, 1802. The family of Wiseman is of considerable antiquity, and they ap pear to have had lands in the county of Essex since the reign of Edward IV. Soon after the Reformation Sir John Wiseman, who had been one of the Auditors of the Exchequer under Henry VIII., and knighted for his bravery at the Battle of Spurs, acquired by purchase Much Canfield-park in that county. His grandson,William, who married into the noble family of Capel, afterwards Earl of Essex, was created a baronet by King Charles I. in 1628, and a younger brother of the second baronet was Lord Bishop of Dromore. The title has continued in a direct line of succession down to the present time, and is now represented by Sir William Saltonstall Wiseman, eighth baronet, who is a captain in the Royal Navy. From a younger branch of this family the late Car dinal traditionally claimed descent. His Eminence's mother, whose maiden name was Strange, and whose family, in spite of large confiscations of their property under Oliver Cromwell, is still seated at Aylward's Town Castle, in the county of Kilkenny, lived to see her son elevated to a Cardinal's hat, and died full of years in 1851. Though born upon Spanish soil, young Nicholas Wiseman, when he was little more than five years old, was sent to England. He arrived at Ports mouth in January, 1808, in the Melpomene frigate, Captain Parker, and was sent, while still very young, to a boarding school at Waterford. In March, 1810, he iwas transferred thence to the Roman Catholic College of St. Cuthbert, at Ushaw, near Durham, where he remained until 1818. In that year he obtained leave to quit Ushaw for Rome, where he arrived in the December of that year, and became one of the first members of the English College, then recently founded at Rome. In the next year he had the honour of preaching before the then Pope, Pius VII., and, having pursued with diligence the usual course of philosophical and theological studies, he maintained a public disputation on theology, and was created a Doctor in Divinity July 7, 1824, shortly before the completion of his 22d year. In the following Spring he received holy orders, and in 1827 was nominated Professor of Oriental languages in the Roman University, being at that time Vice-Rector of the English College, to the rectorship of which he was promoted in the year 1829. lle had already distinguished himself, not merely as a theologian, but•also as a scholar, for in 1827 he composed and printed a learned work en titled " Hone Syriacm," chiefly drawn from Oriental manuscripts in the library of the Vatican. Dr. Wiseman returned to England in 1835, and in the winter of that year delivered a series of lec tures, during the season of Advent, at the Sardinian Chapel in Lincoln's-inn-fields. In the lent of the following year, at the request of the late Bishop Bramston, then Vicar-Apostolic of the London District, he delivered at St. Mary's, Moorfields, another course of lectures, in which he vindicated, at considerable length, the principal doctrines and practices of the Roman Catholic Church, and with such success, that the Roman Catholics of the metropolis presented him with a gold medal, commemorative of their gratitude and of their high regard for his talents and acquirements. These Lectures were speedily followed by a "Treatise on the Holy Eucharist," which occasioned a theological controversy with Dr. Turton, the late Bishop of Ely, and by another work, in two volumes, entitled " Lectures on the Connection between Science and Revealed Religion." In the Lent of the year 1837, when he happened to be in Rome, he delivered four lectures on the " Offices and Ceremonies of Holy Week," which were afterwards given to the world as a separate publication. In 1840 the late Pope Gregory XVI. increased the number of his Vicars Apostolic in England from four to eight, and Dr. Wiseman was appointed coad jutor to the late Bishop Walsh, then Vicar Apostolic of the Midland District, being at the same time ela vated to the Presidency of St. Mary's College, Oscott, near Birmingham. While there he took the deepest interest in the theological movement at Oxford, which is associated with the names of Dr. Newman and Dr. Pusey, and which has furnished Rome with such an abundant score of recruits. In 1848, on the death of Bishop Griffiths, Dr. Wiseman became Pro-Vicar-Apostolic of the London district, and subsequently was nominated coadjutor to Dr. Walsh, cum jure successionis, on the translation of that prelate to London. Bishop Walsh survived his translation but a short time, and on his death, in 1849, Bishop Wiseman succeeded him as Vicar Apostolic. The next stage in Dr. Wiseman's life is that which, as it has been more controverted than any other, so also is that by which his name will be longest remembered. In August, 1850, Bishop Wiseman was summoned to Rome, to the "thres hold of the Apostles," by his Holiness Pope Pius IX., who on the 29th of the following September issued his celebrated "Apostolical Letter," re-estab lishing the Roman Catholic hierarchy in England and Wales, at the same time issuing a " Brief" elevating Dr. Wiseman to the " Archbishopric of Westminster." In a private consistory, held the following day, the new " Archbishop" was raised by the Sovereign Pontiff to the dignity of a Cardinal Priest, the ancient church of St. Pudentiana, at Rome, in conformity with the ecclesiastical custom, being selected by.him as his title. His Eminence was the seventh Englishman who has been elevated to the hat of a Cardinal since the Reformation, his predecessors in this respect having been Cardinal Pole, Cardinal Allen, Cardinal Howard, Cardinal York, Cardinal Weld, and Cardinal Acton. The name of Cardinal Wiseman was well known in that portion of the literary world which interests itself in controversy, as one of the most frequent and able contributors to the " Dublin Review," of which he was for some years the joint editor. Among other productions of his pen which appeared in that perio dical we may name his " Strictures on the High Church Movement in Oxford," which were reprinted by the Catholic Institute about 20 years ago for cir culation in a cheap form, under the attractive title of " High Church Claims." His Eminence's " Essays and Contributions to the Dublin Review" were col lected and published, with a preface by the author, in 3 vols. Bvo., in 1853. It is also understood that he contributed to the " Penny Cyclopdia" the article which treats on the " Catholic Church." Among the best known of his Eminence's other controversial and miscellaneous publications are his " Fabiola," a tale of the Early Christians ; his " Reminiscences of the Four last Popes ; A Letter o n Catholic Unity," addressed to the late Earl of Shrewsbury ; " A Let ter to the Rev. J. H. Newman, on the Controversy relating to the Oxford Tracts for the Times ; " and " A Letter addressed to John Poynder, Esq., upon his work entitled ' Popery in Alliance with Heathen ism.' " To these must be added his " Appeal to the Rtason and Good Feeling of the People of England," respecting the Papal aggression, in which he endea voured to prove that the matter at issue was merely a question relating to the internal and spiritual or ganisation of the English Roman Catholics, and in no sense a temporal measure, or one which involved any practical assault on the freedom of Protestants. To the London world and to the public at large Car dinal Wiseman's name was rendered most familiar by his frequent appearance upon the platform as a public lecturer upon a wide range of subjects con nected with Education, History, Art, and Science ! And in this capacity his Eminence always found an attentive and eager audience, even among those who were most conscientiously opposed to his spiritual claims and pretensions, and who most thoroughly ignored him as " Archbishop of Westminster." The illness of which his Eminence has died has been of long standing, and when he left England for Rome in the Spring of 1860, there were many of his friends who feared that they would see his face no more. But he lived to return to England, and to recover some portion of his former health. It is almost superfluous to add that his Eminence's loss will be severely felt among the English Roman Catholics, both lay and clerical, as he was nearly the only member of their body who had earned for him self a wide and lasting reputation for ability and learning. (From the Morning Post.) The death of Cardinal Wiseman, which occurred at his residence in York-place, Portman-square, at eight o'clock yesterday morning, is an event which, for many reasons, is likely to exercise a con siderable influence on the fortunes of the Roman Catholic body in this country. Personally the Cardinal will be missed in general society quite as much as among his co-religionists, for he was a man who of late years had made himself respected by many intellectual opponents of his religion. Indeed, in his last illness inquiries respecting his condition were made by Protestants as well as by Roman Catholics. His malady was truly a serious one—indeed, he suffered from a complication of ill nesses ; but it is said that, in spite of his bodily in firmities, his mind was, up to two or three days ago, as vigorous, his conversation as brilliant, as ever. Even after he had received extreme unction from the hands of his faithful vicar-general, Dr. Hearn, he was able to discuss and appreciate the merits of the Pope's Encyclical. The cardinal, in articulo mortis professed his faith before several reverend gentlemen who are styled the " Chapter of West minster." "He had never wavered for a moment in his faith," said the dying dignitary. He was latterly very popular in artistic and scientific circles. Cardinal Wiseman was a fine scholar, a most accomplished man, Cardinal was con sidered a great man. and an excellent preacher. Abroad the At the Congress of Malines, in 1863, strangers a l w ays desired to know which of the distinguished prelates was Car dinal Wiseman ; but at home he was of compara tively humbled position occupiedt rel y little b y account, communion, wng t tc' hough hewas deservedly held in esteem as a scholar, an art critic, a linguist, and a man of letters. (From the. Daily News) Our readers will not be surprised to hear that the long illness of Cardinal Wiseman has at length had a fatal termination, and that his Eminence is no more. The sad event happened at his residence in York-place, Baker-street, at eight o'clock yester day morning, after he had received all the last rites of his Church. In him the Romish Church in its England foremost champion. His e Wiseman, Cardinal of h under the title of St. tHoy l R Eminence o in hasan Church h lost u r Nicholase h Pudentiana, and Titular Archbishop of Westmin ster, was bornin the month of August, 1802, at Se ville, in Spain, where his father, a gentleman of English extraction and of gentle descent, had settled as a merchant, owing probably to the operation of the penal laws. His mother, whose maiden name was Strange, and who lived to see her son advanced to the highest dignities of the Church, was a lady of a good old Irish family, one of the Stranges, we be lieve, of the county of Kilkenny, and nearly related to the noble house of Lord Bellew. We should scarcely have cared to go into these minute details were it not for the fact that, when popular feeling ran highest at the time of the Papal aggression, a cruel attempt was made to influence the ill-will of the masses against him on the ground of his being an alien. (From the Morning Herald.) We have to record the death of Cardinal Wise man, the titular Archbishop of Westminster, who died yesterday at his residence, in the 63d year of his age. His death was not unexpected. For some time before his death he was disabled for active duties by a lingering and painful disease, and some time since the last rites of his Church were ad ministered to him in anticipation of his immediate decease. Nature rallied a little, however, but it was seen to be only a temporary restoration; the disease again asserted its sway, and for the last day or two before his decease all hope of ultimate recovery had disappeared. Nicholas Wiseman, the ablest English Roman Catholic who has appeared among us since the Reformation, and the man who has done more than any other to change the aspect and position of Popery in this country, was not born in Eng land. His father was an Irishman, who settled in Seville, in Spain, and there attained to some emi nence as a merchant. His accomplished son was born in that town in the year 1802. (From the Morning Advertiser.) Cardinal Wiseman expired yesterday morning, at 8 o'clock, at his residence in York-place, Baker street, Portman-square. This event has been fully expected for a fortnight past. Ever since the end of the previous week, not only did the physicians and friends of his Eminence give up all hope of his recovery, but they felt that death might at any mo ment close his career. Apart altogether from the high position which Cardinal Wiseman filled as the head of the Roman Catholic Church in the United Kingdom, he was a man whose varied infor mation, great scientific attainments, and gene ral literary acquisitions would have made him a person of mark in any of the learned professions. His style was regarded by many as a model of good taste ; and several of his published works will, from the ability and literary taste they dis play, enjoy a lasting popularity. In private life he was an agreeable companion, and his society was sought by persons whose religious views did not harmonise with his. He had long been in a state of delicate health, and four or five years ago it was feared by his private friends that an illness under which he then laboured would terminate in that event which we have now to record. Owing partly to his ill-health, and his somewhat large physical frame, Cardinal Wiseman looked much older than he was. Instead of being only in his sixty-third year, he would have been taken for at least seventy. (From the Daily Telegraph.) 'Throughout the whole of England the news of Cardinal Wiseman's death will be received with sincere regret. Protestants and Catholics alike will combine in doing honour to the memory of a man who filled no unimportant post in our community, and filled it worthily. In every chapel of this coun try where the ancient faith is still maintained, prayers have been offered up, during the last few weeks, for the restoration of health to the dying Cardinal. That those prayers were not answered is to all Englishmen—no matter what may be their creed—a source of real sorrow. (Front the Morning Star.) Cardinal Wiseman is dead. After having suffered long from a painful and apparently a hopeless malady, he was stricken down at last by the attack of a different disease. There is scarcely any part of the world where the news of his death, long as it has been expected, will not bring with it a thrilling sensation. Protestants as well as Catholics can well afford to bear cordial testimony to the great abili ties, the varied acquirements, the high character, and, where private intercourse was concerned, the entirely liberal sentiments of Cardinal Wiseman. All must alike admit that he bore himself amongst us like a gentleman and a scholar ; and all must surely regret to hear of the death of one who had so many splendid intellectual qualities and so many exalted and Christian virtues. LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. • (Before the Judge Ordinary.) BARACLOUGH T. BARACLOUGH. This was a petition presented•by the wife for dissolution of marriage. Mrs. Caroline Duck, the sister of the petitioner, said she was present at the marriage, which took place at Leeds in 1854. After the marriage the parties lived together for about a year and a half. She had seen the respondent frequently beat and ill-treat his wife. He shortly after that deserted her and went to Australia. _ The petitioner, Mrs. Barraclough, said her husband was of no particular business at the time of the marriage. He was employed at a carpet manufactory in Leeds. Her hus band prior to his departure from England sold up their home and went to Australia, but he never asked her to go with him. After he had been away about a year her sent her £2O, but she paid certain debts which he had left unpaid. After he had been absent about ten years she received a letter from him telling her ho should never return to pauperised England, where all was free slavery. lie treated her with the greatest cruelty after marriage, and ho used to take away the child, which was a baby in arms, and lock it up for hours in the bedroom. About four years ago she received a letter from him stating that he was coming home, and in September last she met him accidentally in the street. He asked her to live with him again, but she refused, and he went away. She had never seen him since. William Mann said, in October last he met the respon dent near Leeds. He was in company with a woman named Eliza Marwood, a person of very loose character. John Warner Duck said he knew the respondent, and he had also seen him in company with Eliza Marwood. He heard him acknowledge, to a person whom he had set to watch, tho commission of adultery. Decree nisi, with costs. LIVESY V. LIVESY AND KENNEDY. This was also a petition for dissolution of marriage pre-. sentod by the husband against his wife. The parties lived in Leeds, and, from the evidence, it appeared that Mrs. Livesy became addicted to intoxication, so much so that the petitioner was compelled to leave her. On one occasion she struck him with a pitcher on the fore head, the mark of which still remained. One of the wit nesses _had seen Mrs. Livesy in Leeds gaol, where she was confined. The adultery having been proved, The Judge made a decree nisi. AYRES V. AYRES. This was a petition presented by the wife, praying for the restitution of conjugal rights. The petitioner, a buxom country lass, said that previous to her marriage she lived with her father, who was a farmer, at Littleport, Cambridgeshire. The parties were married at St. Sepulchre's in 1863, and in about a month from that time her husband went away, and she had seen him but once since, and then he ran away from her. Her husband was now living with his father, who was a farmer, about four miles from her present residence. Decree nisi, with costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Beforo Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN RE SIR. JAMES JOHN RANDALL MACKENZIE, BART. This bankrupt was described as' albaronet, formerly of Scatwell and Rosehaugh, both in the county of Ross, North Britain, afterwards of Claridge's Hotel, Lower Brook-street, Grosvenor-square, and of Burton-street, Euston-square, since a prisoner for debt in White cross-street, and to-day he came up for his last examina tion, and order of discharge. The accounts show—Dr. to creditors, unsecured, £7,201 3s. ad; creditors holding security, £190,032 15s. Bd. Cr.—By debtors, good, £10,239 17s. lid. ; property given up to assignees, £12,925 Bs. 9d. ; property in the hands of creditors, £148,400, the deficiency being about £26,000. The ex penditure of the bankrupt for the two years preceding the failure has been about £2,500 per annum. Amongst the list of his creditors are the Norwich Fire Insurance Com pany, who figure for £lOO,OOO for cash advanced to enable the bankrupt to pay off a previous mortgage on his pro perty. Full security is held by the insurance company for this large sum. Mr. J. C. Brodie is a secured creditor for an advance of £12,000. The North British and Mercantile Insurance Company, Threadneedle-street, are secured for a cash advance of £27,000, and for cash advanced in 1863, £5,375. The executors of the late Earl Fitzwilliam hold a mortgage on the Rosehaugh and Little Sudder estates to the extent of £33,786 14s. 2d. Mr. Mimms, for the assignees, pointed out that the accounts were only Bled yesterday; and, looking at their magnitude, it was absolutely necessary that there should be an adjournment. In a case like the present the assignees of course required some further information, and therefore prayed for an adjournment to some future day. Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, said that he did not intend to offer any objection or opposition to an adjourn ment, but certain requisitions were to be tendered to the bankrupt, and he (Mr. Lawrence) applied that such requi sitions should state the nature of the information required to be furnished. His Honour then ordered an adjournment to the 28th April next, and granted protection to the bankrupt until that time. MR.

Lord REDESDALE moved that all petitions presented praying to be heard upon their merits, against any bill in each of the classes mentioned in standing order 178, be printed by the petitioners, and copies therefore deposited in the office of the Clerk of the Parliament, at such time, and in such manner, as the chairman of committees shall direct.—Agreed to. IRISH CONSTABULARY. In reply to Lord CLEMENTS, Earl GRANVILLE said that the orders under which the Irish constabulary acted at present in excise matters were the same as those laid upon the table of the house in 1856. THE POOR RATES. Lord RAVENSWORTH presented a petition from Hammersmith complaining of the gross inequality of the poor rates between the metropolitan and suburban districts. The noble lord having called the attention of the Govern ment to the statements contained in the petition, and in the course of his observations said the grievance of which he complained resolved itself into one short solution, viz , that where the wealthy districts of the metropolishadthe benefit of the exertions of the working and industrious classes the expense of supporting the poor, the sick, the aged, and the infirm, fell upon the suburban districts. The noble lord concluded by asking the Government whether they contemplated any measure of relief to the suburban dis tricts in their promised bill for the amendment of the Poor Law Acts. Earl GRANVILLE wasunderstood to say that although her Majesty's Government intended to introduce a bill to carry out certain recommendations of the committee of the House of Commons of last session, to which the noble lord had referred, they did not intend to legislate specially for the metropolis. ILLICIT DISTILLATION IN IRELAND. Lord CLEMENTS moved an address for returns of the names of the officers the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland had considered it necessary to appoint for the purpose of carry ing out the provisions of the several acts for the suppres sion of illicit distillation in Ireland within the counties of Clare and Donegal. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—This EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. CHEETHAM took the oaths and his seat on his elec tion for the borough of Salford. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Standing Orders were declared to have been com plied with in the case of several private bills. CENTRAL WALES AND STAFFORDSHIRE JUNCTION RAILWAY BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. GREAVES said that this bill had been folr times before the house, which refused to sanction it on its merits. Ho thought the house should reject the bill, the standing orders not being complied with, instead of allowing the time of the house being further occupied with a bill which came before it under such circumstances. He moved that the bill should be read a second time that day six months. After a few words from Sir E. DERING, explaining the manner in which the bill came before the house on each occasion, Mr. ROEBUCK said that the bill had been thrown out in 1861, 1862, 1863, and finally on its merits last year. It was now brought forward a fifth time, much to the incon venience of land owners in the neighbourhood where the railway was to traverse. When the Chancellor brought forward the subject of a committee on railways the other evening ho (Mr. Roebuck) suggested that the attention of such committee should he directed to the initiation of such cbmpanies. There were many sham companies brought before the house, which were originated with engineers, contractors, and solicitors. The lawyers got a large share cf the plunder, but there was generally a man of fortune behind who received a lion's share of the plunder. Sir B. LEIGHTON considered that the promoters had not been properly treated, and supported the second reading. Mr. DODSON hoped the house would not take upon it self the responsibility of reversing the previous decisions. The house divided, and the numbers were— For the second reading B3 Against 54 Majority —29 The bill was accordingly read a second time. LONDON, TILBURY, AND SOUTHEND RAILWAY. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. COLLINS moved, as an amendment, that it be post poned for a fortnight. Colonel FRENCH seconded the amendment. Mr. JACKSON was in favour of the bill going to a com mittee. Mr. DODSON trusted that the bill would be allowed to go a committee, which would be more able to judge of its merits than the house. The amendment was withdrawn, and the bill was read a second time. PICCADILLY AND PARK-LANE NEW ROAD BILL. On the motion of Mr. TITE, the second reading of the bill was postponed for a week. PRIVATE •BILLS. Mr. TORRENS moved that on every private bill to be considered by a committee of the house all petitions which shall stand referred to such a committee be printed at the expense of the petitioners and copies of such petitions, together with a copy of the bill to be considered, be deli livered to each member of the committee not less than two days previous to its sitting. He believed that the expense of this proceeding would not be great, and a practice was proposed in regard to petitions in the other house similar to that he suggested. If the expense fell on the promoters it would be heavy, considering their number was limited. Col. PEEL said he believed very few members would trouble themselves to read these petitions, which in many cases were not proceeded with. He thought every altera tion in the standing orders should be referred to a com mittee and reported upon before the house was asked to sanction any such change. A. class of persons had arisen who were called promoters, wi - lo received a gratuity to promote . certain undertakings, for the benefit of persons interested. He proposed that for " petitioners"- " pro moters" should be substituted. Mr. M. GIBSON approved the motionovith some altera tion, to which Mr. Torrens assented. Mr. CRAUFURD said he had heard nothing to show him that the alteration proposed was necessaiy. Col. W. PATTEN did not see what benefit could with the result from the adoption of the re solution, It it. gh, alterations agreed to, ho would n ot oppo_nit The motion was agreed to wit hout a division. THE LATE MR. GREGSON, M.P. Lord PALMERSTON drew the attention of the house to the decease of this gentleman, and passed a high eulogium on the services ho had rendered for seven years in his attendance on committees. He took this opportu nity of alluding to value of the services of hon. members on committees on public and private bills, which did not attract that attention which was given to speaking in the house, and which reflected so much credit on their pa triotism. The country had sustained a great loss in the late gentleman, and he deplored him on private as well as public grounds. OBSERVANCE,OF THE SABBATH, Mr. CLIFFORD gave notice that he would draw atten tion to the order in council, relative to the better obser vance of the Sabbath. BRITISH SUBJECTS IN THE SERVICE OF THE EMPEROR OF CHINA. Colonel SYKES asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether the Order in Council of the Ist March, 1864, had been enforced, and all British subjects withdrawn from the service of the Emperor of China and that of provincial mandarins ? Mr. LAYARD said that the Government had no power to enforce the order in question. WRECKS ON THEI COASTS OF THE UNITED KINGDOM. Mr. CAVE asked the President of the Board of Trade, when the " abstract of the returns of wrecks and casualties on the coasts of the United Kingdom for the year ending Dec. 31, 1863, which was laid upon the table last session Pas , any necessit would be del yive red for the publicatio to members o ; f these returns and a whether bt llu d e d to wou ld be r n g two re years in arrear ? be" 'g GIBSON said that the returns shortly laid on the table of the house. _ IRIS H RECOBILS.

CaRTS OF JUSTICE BUILDING BILL On the motion for the second reading of this bill, there was discussion in the course of which, Mr. BAILLIE expressed a hope that in the erection of these new Courts, provision would be made for the • erection of model lodging-houses for those poor persona who would be driven out of their tenements. The neglect of such provision was a disgrace to the country, and he alluded to the different system that prevailed in Prance. under the rule of the present Emperor. Colonel SYKES bore personal testimony, from experi ence, to the inconvenien ce of the present courts. Mr. WALPOLE objected to the plan proposed, which he did not think would effect the object which was con templated. He thought it would be better to make provision for the concentration of the courts by the erec tion of buildings hey that would have harmonise with the H ouses of Parliament.

A few days since Venables was called upon to suppress a fight and disturbance in John's-place, Baker-street, Stepney. Every house there is occupied by thieves and loose women ; numerous robberies and outrages have been committed there, and in several streets in the immediate locality. The neighbourhood has long borne a very bad name. Venables endeavoured to suppress the fight and was struck by a man with a poker and wounded. That man, who is a convicted thief, is still at large. Others then attacked him, and he was grievously kicked and beaten. Jeffery went to the assistance of Venables, and was immediately knocked down with a brick. He was kicked, and repeatedly struck with pokers and other weapons while he laid on the ground. Both con stables were severely wounded and contused.

Venables asked for another remand of the case, to enable him, if possible, to arrest others concerned in the riot and outrage. his request was complied with, and the prisoners were remanded for a week. The Davenport Brothers at LiverpooL - LIVERPOOL, Feb. 15. The performance of the Davenport Brothers at St. George's-hall, Liverpool, came to an abrupt ter mination this evening. On Tuesday night two gentlemen—Hulley and Cummins —were selected by the audience to stop upon the stage and bind the performers. The process of binding was proceeding when one of the Davenports objected to the tight ness of the rope and declined to go on with the per formance. A disturbance ensued, and the perform. ante came to an end. Many persons obtained their their money back. This evening a large audience was present. Dr. Ferguson opened the proceedi l n i g se ss by Messrs rea di ng three cond itions, b y which the Davenport s reser ved to them selves the ri g ht of re j e cting any particular g entleman in whom they t mi e ght discover . a disposition to deal unfairl y wi th the s in eecth D d urin by g h i s a ddress the greatest uproar prevailed. Hulley and Cummins were aga i n the audience, and OD mounting the stage Dr. Ferguson announced that the Brothers objected to these two gentlemen on account of the brutal manner in which they had previously bound them. The uproar continued, the audience insisting on the performance proceeding. After very considerable delay the Davenports presented themselves, and the binding process commenced. One of them , how ever, immediately protested against the tightness of the cord, and was immediately released by Dr. Fer guson, both of them loudly expressing their indig nation, and Davenport showing his bleeding wrist. The audience, however, and those on the stage asserted that Ferguson intentionally inflicted the injury while removing the cord. The Davenports then retired, which was the signal for the audience to take possession of the stage. Dr. Ferguson was hustled ; the cabinet upset, jumped upon, and ut terly demolished • fragments of it were strongly contested for, and even indeed sold at a shilling a piece ; the ropes were cut up and divided, and the musical instruments, trumpets, and bells peared in the general scramb le. disap- Share r3 - r 1 '.
