:14PERIA. TALENT. HOUSE OP LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD'CILINCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack • at five o'clock. Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from the proprietors of a patent flour mill, praying that the merits of this economical invention might be inquired into, and that it might be applied to the use of the army and navy. The Earl of CLARENDON presented a petition from certain Presbyterian clergymen in Ireland, in reference to the present system of National Education in Ireland. The noble earl took the opportunity of stating that con siderable apprehension had been excited in Ireland, by a speech made by the noble lord at the head of the Go vernment in the course of the last session, that some in tention existed in his mind to introduce some change in the existing system of national education. He was bound to say that no such apprehension ever existed in his mind, and he believed that by this time it had been en tirely removed from the minds even of the petitioners, chiefly in consequence of the speech lately made by the noble lord the Secretary for Ireland. The Earl of DERBY said that the attention of him self, and of his noble friend at the head of the Irish Go vernment had been directed to this subject during the recess, and the deterinination which had been come to was that it would not be expedient to make any change in the present system. FREE TRADE. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that he should, on a convenient day, move the adoption of a re solution with respect to free trade similar to that which had lately been adopted in the other house. He had been in hopes that the Government would have under taken the duty ; but, as they had not done so, he should take it upon himself, thinking it due to the honour of this house, as well as to the 'magnitude of the question itself, that the matter should be submitted to the deli berate judgment of their lordships' house. He would not now definitely fix the clay, but if Monday would suit the convenience of noble lords opposite, he would be quite ready to take it on that day. The Earl of DERBY said that after the announce ment which he had made the other night that no public business would be brought before the house, many noble lords had left town ; and if the noble marquis persevered in his motion, he thought sufficient time ought to be allowed for them to return. So far as his, own convenience was con cerned, Monday would suit him perfectly well. He was perfectly willing to adopt such a resolution as would definitively acknowledge the free trade system ; but he was not prepared to call upon noble lords who, being willing to adhere to the free trade system, were not disposed to acquiesce in the original policy of the measure of 1846. Some such resolution as this, he thought, might be acquiesced in by all sides of the house—" That this house thankfully acknowledges the general prosperity of the country, and recog nizing the evils of frequent change in the financial system of the country, is prepared to accept and ad here to the commercial system recently established, and would view with regret any attempt to disturb it." He would, however, be quite willing to confer with the noble marquis on the subject, so as to avoid that wran gling about words which had been so little creditable in the other house. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said he cer tainly was not prepared for the hesitation shown by the noble earl to adopt the same resolution as that which had been adopted in the other house. _ _ The Earl of DERBY suggested_ that the noble marquis should defer placing his notice on the paper until Thursday, when perhaps some arrangement would be come to as to the words. CANADA CLERGY RESERVES. In answer to Lord WoDEHOUSE, .... The Earl of DESART said that there was no ob. jection to lay on the table of the house the correspon• dente with respect to the Clergy Reserves in Canada. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, the Oaths in Chancery Bill was read a second time. CITY OF CORK ELECTION. The Earl of DONOGHMORE presented a petition from the city of Cork complaining of certain practices at the late election. After a few words from Lord Bandon, Lord Mont eagle, and the Earl of Derby, the petition was ordered to be laid on the table. RELIGIOUS TESTS IN THE SCOTCH UNIVERSITIES. In answer to the Duke of ARGYLE, The Earl of DERBY said that he could not pledge himself that it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill to abolish the religious tests taken by professors in the Scotch universities. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS--(YESTER DAY). The SPEAKER took the chair at a few minutes to four o'clock. ELECTION PETITIONS. The SPEAKER intimated that the Examiner of Re cognizanees had reported that the recognizances of the petitioners against the returns for Clitheroe, Chatham, Hull, Stoke-upon-Trent, and Wigan, were unobjec tionable. PETITIONS. Mr. BUTT presented a petition from Cork, praying for enquiry into the outrages and intimidation at the i or last electton for that city, with a view to the adoption of measures for the prot ec ti on o f vo t ers i n Ireland. The hon. member gave notice, that on a future day he woulc call the attention of the house to the allegations con tained in the petition. Mr. COBDEN p resen t e d a petition from the poor-law • guardians of Wakefield, praying for the repeal of the recent order of the poor-law board in reference to out door relief, and also that the act might be repealed which enabled that board to issue orders to the poor-lavi guar dians without the sanction of the Legislature. Sir 3. GRAHAM presented a petition from a place in Ireland praying that the present system of national edu cation in that country might be maintained inviolate. Lord D. STUART presented a petition from the metropolis, praying for the interference of the house to obtain the liberation of Edward Murray. RETURNS. Sir W. MOLESWORTH moved for the following returns : Copies of correspondence relative to the Set tlement of Natal (in continuation of papers presented 30th July, 1851) ; copies of correspondence between the Years 1835 and 1845, relative to the emigration of the Dutch Doers from the colony of the Cape of Good Hope, their proceedings in the Orange Territory and Natal, and the establishment ofl, the Settlement of Natal ; copies of correspondence with the Governor of the Cape of Good Hope, relative to the state of the Kaffir tribes, and to the recent outbreak on the eastern frontier of the 3, 1 1853 . ( —Agre e d toin continuation of pap ers presented February . Sir B. HALL moved for a return from Brownlow North, registrar of the Ecclesiastical Court, or Consis torial and Episcopal Court, in the diocese of Winchester, setting forth the names ofall persons who have been appoint ed or nominated to any office in that court ; stating the nature of the office, the date of appointment or nomination, the age of the person or persons at the time of such appointment or nomination ; whether such person or persons perform the duties of the office in person or not, or was then in or has since taken holy orders ; the name or title of the person making such appointment, together with the emoluments and income of the office, and the several sources from which such emoluments or income are derived. Similar return from Messrs. Gates, as regards the Ecclesiastical Courts in the diocese of Peterborough ; and similar return from John Burden, as regards the Consistory or Ecclesiastical . Courts in the diocese of St. David's.—Agreed to. Mr. TURNER moved for a return of the amount of specie and bullion in the Bank of England on the Ist January, 1847, &c.—Agreed to. THE COMMISSION OF SEWERS. In reply to Sir B. HALL, Lord J. MANNERS said it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill to alter the constitu tion of the Metropolitan Commission of Sewers, and it would be brought forward in sufficient time to enable the ratepayers of the metropolis to consider its pro visions. LETTER-CARRIERS AND CHRISTMAS -BOXES. Lord D. STUART asked the Secretary to the Trea sury whether it was the intention of the Postmaster- General to prohibit the letter-carriers in the metropolis, during the present winter, from soliciting Christmas boxes from individuals ? Mr. HAM,)_LTON replied that the Postmaster- General had decided that for the present the letter- Carriers in the , metropolis should not be prohibited soliciting Christmas-boxes. EXPULSION OF MR. STEAD FROM PRUSSIA. seVeriseount GODERICH put a question to the Under reeene!ary of State for Foreign Affairs, relative to the po t i e je x e Pulsio n f 1.1 F • Stead from P • the ,rancis Prussia by 4:.ztililorities of Berlin. Lord LEY, in reply, stated, that after Mr. Stead had bee nimm e di ately tl . :!at e d in the manner described, he laidh il ls case before Lord Bloomfield, who remonstrated f the authorities at Berlin. He re ceived the. usu a l oznal reply that an enquiry should be made into the atter, and an explanation given ; and after some delay,. a that t i ll given by the Prussian Gover nment, n w e a l i allat i" w as in substance, was this : The Government stated eir police had received in formation from England, th at , person of the name of st ea d, who was implicated in a sination of the King of p r Z a nB Piracy for the assas- Stead arrived the country, and that, he ' l‘ lv r as about to leave in Berlin, they were unde the re p re ss that he was the person so described; and led to his arrest and expulsion. Tchoensequently, Government at the same time expressed their Prussian the mistake which had . occurred ; but he Was ZgZil to at say that the explanation itself was so u nsa tisfacto and the expressions of regret so slight, that the B r i t r A Government thought it necessary to again remonstrate strongly with the Prussian Government with respect e a the treatment of that gentleman. (Hear.) He believed that Mr. Stead considered his character had been in some way injured by the proceeding; but, he could as sure him, that there was nothing whatever in the whole V a--- — B. ea --efair whi c h cou ld b e said to affect hi s repu t a ti on i n the a r- i e; ightest degree. -&- A BOLITION OF DUTIES ON BUTTER-, t= :14C •A CHEESE, &c. , -.1;1/ . - - -t,* -,,.. i, 14r.

Lord NAAS said it was not the intention of the Go vernment to introduce a bill relating to the collection of the local taxes in Ireland,--observing, that they hardly thought it prudent to deal with that subject until they saw the effect of the General Valuation Act which was passed last session. MINISTERS' MONEY IN IRELAND. After a large number of petitions had been presented from various places in Ireland praying for the repeal of Ministers' Money in Ireland, • Mr. FAGAN rose to move—" That this house will, upon Thursday next, resolve itself into a committee, to take into consideration the law relating to the rate or tax called Ministers' Money, in Ireland, with the view to repeal so much thereof as relates to the said rate 'or tax ; and further to take into consideration the act 3 and 4 Will. IV., c. 37, called the Church Temporalities Act, for the purpose of amending the same, so as to provide thereby a substitute out of the revenues of the Ecclesias tical Commissioners as a provision for the Protestant ministers in certain corporate towns in Ireland, in lieu of the annual sums now received by them under and by virtue of the act 17 and 18, Charles 11., c. 7. " He had so often brought this subject forward in a former Parliament that it was hardly necessary for him to detain the house with any lengthened statement ; but there were several new members in the house who were no doubt quite ignorant of the merits of the case, and he must therefore, to some extent, go over the ground again. He had no desire to rob the Established Church of any of its just revenue; nor did he wish to aim a blow at that Church through this motion. Those who received the tax were equally as much opposed to it as himself, and they were joined with him in endeavouring to get it abolished. It yielded some thing like 15,0001., and was imposed upon a num ber of corporate towns in Ireland, the inhabitants of which were Roman Catholics. It was raised upon an obsolete valuation, while, from the c h ange o f circumstances which had taken place since it was established, more than a century ago, it fell upon the poor in an unjust proportion compared with the rich ; for instance, in Cork where the rich portion of the city only paid upon a valuation of 8401. a-year, the poorer portion had to pay upon 3001., and to show the injustice of this, he need only mention that under the poor-law valuation the latter paid upon 6,0001. a-year, while the former had to pay upon 30,000/. a-year. (Hear, hear.) When he brought this subject forward before, he was met with the assertion that the in justice of the tax could be got rid of by remov ing it from the shoulders of the occupier to the owner of the house to be levied in the shape of a rent charge but in every ph ase th e t ax was , t oo o bj ect i onable to admit of its continuance in any form. The report of the select committee appointed in 1848, had reported against the tax while the present Prime Minister, when he was Secretary for Ireland, denounced a similar impost in strong and eloquent language. But there was an ad ditional reason for his success on this occasion. The noble lord the member for the City of London, when he was in office, promised to introduce a measure for the abolition of this tax, and he called upon the noble lord to show that he was in earnest then by voting for this motion. The revenue of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners, so far as the Irish Church was concerned, had increased upwards of 20,0001. since 1848, when the select com mittee recommended the abolition of this tax, and he must therefore insist that no difficulty could possibly arise in finding a substitute for this tax. (Hear, hear.) But if the house would 'only grant him this committee, he was prepared to show how the income of the commis sioners could be still further increased, and this he thought was an additional reason why the house ought to adopt his resolution. He had now done ; he had shown to the house that the Protestant clergy were op posed to the tax, that a committee of the house had recommended its abolition, and that one side of the house had pledged itself to remove it; and he now called upon the house to adopt the resolution, and thus carry out the recommendation of her Majesty to legislate for Ireland in a liberal spirit. (Hear, hear.) The motion having been seconded, Mr. WALPOLE thanked the honourable member for the temperate manner in which he had brought forward the subject. There could be no doubt that the tax which the motion referred to was highly objectionable in many points of view. It was levied upon :an unjust principle, and the Protestant clergy - who received it were as much opposed to it as the Roman Catholics who paid it. (Hear, hear.) That he thought was a strong circumstance in favour of its removal, and the house had to consider how it could be abolished. If this was simply an abstract motion, pledging the house to abolish the tax in its present shape, he perhaps should have found no objection ; but it unfortunately went further, and required the house to resolve that on a future day it would go into a committee of the whole house for the purpose of considering of a substitute. There was no question that the tax was levied in an objectionable mode, but to remove it on that ac count, without providing a substitute for it, would be grossly unjust, and before the house should consent to its abolition they should be satisfied that the tax could be provided for through some other means. Cer tainly, the funds in the hands of the Ecclesiastical Commissioners would not be available for such a pur pose, but if they were he doubted very much whether it would be right to use them in that manner. The funds possessed by the Ecclesiastical Commissioners were obtained from taxes that were levied upon the Protestant clergy, and the house would, therefore, per ceive that, if their suggestions were adopted, the effect of it would be to deprive one portion of the Irish clergy of their income, and to tax another portion to provide a substitute for it. (Hear, hear.) Still, he thought something ought to be done for the purpose of re moving the injustice and inequalities of the impost. (Hear, hear.) He was now in communication with the Lord-Lieutenant upon this very subject, and if the motion was withdrawn, he would pledge himself that after the recess the matter should be again brought for ward by the Government in ip shape of a pledge. He would, therefore, riot negative the motion, but simply move the previous question by way of amendment. (Hear, hear.) Mr. Serjeant MURPHY said it was clear, from what had been stated by his hon. friend and colleague, and from the admission of the right hon. gentleman, that this question had not been mixed up with sectarianism, or party or polemical topics, and that many persons of dif ferent religions agreed that it would be for the welfare both of Protestants and Roman Catholics of several towns in Ireland if this question received a speedy solu tion. He complained that for the last eleven years all Governments had met the question in the same concilia tory manner as the right hon. gentleman, and made the same promises with regard to the abolition of what was admitted to be a vexatious tax. All Governments had fully admitted that it was a grievance, but inquired what was to be the substitute for it. Lord Stanley, 'when connected with the Irish Government, had said, " Find me a substitute for the tax ;" but no private member would take the responsibility of finding a substitute, and therefore resort was had to a select committee. In 1848 a number of witnesses were examined before such a committee. One of the leading features of the re port of that committee was, that there should be no in terference with the temporalities of the church, so far as related to the sustenance of the clergy. The right honourable gentleman said he would not do away with the impost, because it was an impost not on persons but on property. Now a committee sat on the annuity tax in Edinburgh, and their report touched on this very point. They said—" Your committee are deeply impressed with the necessity, both on account of the interests of religion, and for the sake of the peace and good government of the city of Edinburgh that an attempt should be made, and that without delay, to come to some final settlement of the question, which has hitherto produced results which all must deplore, and which your committee agree with Mr. Lefevre in think ing must otherwise become a source of danger to the church. Now, in Edinburgh there might be some diffe rence of opinion. Yet they were all Protestants, and Edinburgh was a rich town ; whereas in Ireland the tax was levied on the occupants of hovels, who were in a state of the greatest distress. He said then the right hon. gentleman ought to do as the committee which sat on the Edinburgh Annuity Tax did—make the concession for the sake of peace. He hoped his hon. friend would not be contented with this sort of aye and nay promise on the part of the Government : he asked him to be con tent with nothing less than a promise from the right hon. gentleman that a bill should be laid on the table after the recess, doing away with the anomaly of paying for that which they did not receive. They had done away with tithes and with cess, and he believed that if they did not carry this principle out, a discontent would be produced like that which preceded the Reform Bill, and which, in this case, would have the effect of materially interfering with the entire establishment of the church in Ireland. Mr. NAPIER said it was not his intention to make any observations which might prevent the dispassionate discussion of this question. But when his right hon. friend (Mr. Walpole) stated in the course of last session that it was the intention of Government to take this question into consideration, that was no idle promise with a view 'to postpone a discussion, but it was with the bond fide intention of having it considered ; and he might say that he had himself paid great attention to it, and but for the state of his health he should have been ready with a bill on the subject now. During the time of the late Government, he believed it was their honest desire to try to settle this question, and though on that as on other questions he would not thrust himself upon them, he was not unwilling to give them his assistance in that house. He knew the obstacle that stood in the way • it was to the state of the funds of the Ecclesiasti cal Commission. They could not abolish this tax, and draw the requisite funds from the Ecclesiastical Commis sion, without postponing and displacing trusts which he was confident that house would not postpone or displace. He admitted that it was highly desirable to exempt houses inhabited by the poorer portion of the Roman Catholic population ; but while he did that, he could not consent to lay the tax on the poorer clergy, of whom there were many in Ireland. The average income, indeed, of the beneficed clergy was not more than from 1201. to 170/. a rar, and he thought it would b e an equ it a bl e th i ng to P t a tax on these clergymen which was properly pay able by the owners in fee of houses , who were generally Protestants. In the parish to which he belonged, the greater porti on o f . he thoughtexit mwotulttdhhe inhabitants were Protestants, and order to be hard to tax the poorer clergy in It had been stated that some Protestants in The higherl ranks were in arrear on one oc casion, and he had been struck off the list of voters once, because thaescel,efllectors had not called for the rate, and some of the • J u ages, he believed, were also struck cff. No doubt this tax inlittavvorig.in was a tax on P roperty and not on p ersons. ed as had been observed, at the time iv whole e t li p e ro s p e e t r irn i I n o e f t t o t h s o e f C o harl wn i e n s 11. The Crown had the its possession, and it had a right to make arrangements for the interest of those who were settling in the town, and, accordingly, these arrangements by which Protes tant ministers were to be supported, were made to en courage protestants to come and settle in Ireland. But the act of Charles 11. did not impose a personal tax ; there was no remedy against the person ; the remedy was against the property, and then whatever the tenant paid, he was entitled to deduct out of his rent. He men tioned this to show that however inconvenient the tax might be now, it was a just tax in its inception and ori gin. He thought, however, that there should be some relief for the poorer class of the population ; and he had prepared a measure which he thought would settle the question on an equitable principle. Mr. HUME thought it a great pity that, with a church possessing such ample funds as the church of Ireland there should continue a tax of this description, producing so small a sum as 15,000/. a year. He com plained that they did not know what the learned gentle man was going to do. He said he would bring in a bill, but would that bill take away the stigma of a person of one religion being forced to pay for the religion of an other ? It was the same in Scotland with regard to the annuity tax. He thought they should make a sacrifice. The peace of the church in Ireland was of much more importance than 15,000/. a year. He believed it was originally a tax on property, but circumstances having changed, and the Catholics being now far the most nu merous, it was a st;gma upon them. Religion ought to bring peace and goodwill among men, but instead of that a few paltry pounds were'made the cause of discontent. He trusted that Ministers would also take into conside ration the annuity tax in Scotland, which was of the same nature. Lord BERNARD said hon. members should bear in mind that this was merely a preliminary session, for the avowed object of discussing certain ques tions, but h e t rus t e d h e s h ou ld b e excused saying a few words on this subject. The house would bear in mind that the property in these towns was es sentially the property of Protestants at the time the tax was imposed, and those who had purchased it since had purchased it subject to this tax. He believed that at present two-thirds of the tax at least fell on Pro testants ; and the others could deduct it from the head rents, a great portion of which belonged to the Pro testants. The Ecclesiastical Commissioners at present had no funds at disposal, many churches were in a state of dilapidation, and there would be many more claims for repairs if the clergymen thought their applications would have any success. Mr. MAGUIRE said he would not have arisen were not this question one of considerable importance in some of the principal localities of Ireland. He urged his hon. friend to persevere in his motion, which he did not in a spirit of hostility to the Government, but because the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Walpole) had given no suffi cient assurance that he would take this question into practical consideration, nor the principles on which the proposed bill was to be founded. The right hon. gentle man spoke of the necessity of avoiding religious contro versy in that house ; but he conceived there was some thing still more important, and that was the necessity of avoiding acrimony and hostility in Ireland. If the right honourable gentleman or the Attorney-Gene ral would give an assurance that a measure would be introduced which would do away with this acrimony, he would counsel his honourable friend to withdraw this motion. He did not object to this tax because it was a tax on one description of persons more than another ; but on a question of principle... Ever since the Union, legislation had been, with slight exceptions, on the prin ciple of civil and religious liberty ; but this tax was a violation of that principle. To his own knowledge, in the city of Cork, in Upper Blackmire, there was a dozen Roman Catholic proprietors of his who had, in the last twenty years, built 100 houses, and he asked if it was fair that they should be subject to this tax ? He ad mitted, that houses of worship should be kept in a proper condition. In the county of Cork there were several Protestant churches without congregations ; and there were four parishes in the diocese of Down which had only three persons for a congregation, which three per sons migrated from one church to another, and then to the third. If the settlement of this matter were just in the time of Charles 11., no one would say it was just in that of Queen Victoria, when the Catholics were to the Protestants as seven to one in some localities, and in others in even a greater proportion. Nothing could be more irritating to Catholics than to have to pay this impost, for they regarded it as a badge ofconquest and religious in feriority. But see how the system worked. There were con scientious men who refused to pay this tax, and who suf fered their goods to be seized. One witness described the case of a man who had been a respectable merchant, but who had been reduced in life. The collector demanded of him U. 7s. for three years' ministers' money. He re fused, on the ground of inability, to pay, and the furni ture which had been left him by the mercy of the sheriff's officer was seized. He would leave the house to consi der what would be the effect upon an excitable people to see a man treated thus by the representatives of a minister of religion. (Cheers.) He (Mr. Maguire) had the honour to know the Dean of Waterford, the Bishop of Limerick, and others of the established clergy, all or whom, he was sure, wished to be on good terms with their Catholic neighbours. One clergyman had declared that he was anxious to avoid the shame of having to fight for his income ; and many others had expressed similar opinions. One of the witnesses, a collector, stated that he did not give notice of the sales ; and there were therefop no means of knowing what became of the surplus property, even if ten times more were taken than was necessary to satisfy the demand. A Quaker in Cork had two sacks of flour taken, and it was never known what became of them, but the collector was himself in the flour trade, and some people were malicious enough to say that they had seen him with his own orthodox hands dispensing the ravished flour of the Quaker. (Loud laughter.) An instance had also been known in which the executors of a deceased clergyman had demanded eleven years' arrears, and it was only aft er th e c l a i m had been compromised' by the payment of four years that the person was allowed to exercise his right to vote. It was impossible to modify the tax, so as to make it tolerable; for in any form it would be odious. He (Mr. Maguire), Catholic, had Quaker tenants; and though he regretted to see them subject to the demand, he should object to its being re moved to his own shoulders. Never was a time when it was more necessary to cultivate a good feeling between Catholics and Protestants, than now. An industrial movement was going on, which he trusted would be so developed as to lay the foundation of at least a local prosperity in many parts of Ireland. Catholics, Pro testants, and Quakers, were all promoters of it together; and when all were anxious to increase the material in terests of the country, it was most important to do aw a y with anything that could give rise to rancour or ill feeling. (Cheers.) In the name, then, of religion, which was dishonoured by the tax—in the name of jus tice he called upon them to abolish an impost so dis graceful and so injurious. (Cheers.) Sir J. SHELLEY trusted that the hon. gentleman would not press his motion to a division, until they had the measure of the Government before them. If they should be dissatisfied with that measure, the hon. gen tleman would be in no worse position than he was now. Captain JONES observed that the hon. gentleman opposite had objected to being forced to pay ministers' money, because he was a Roman Catholic; and he had argued as if it was imposed on him as a badge of conquest and religious inferiority. He was sure that no Protestant ever thought of looking upon it in such a light. He objected to the proposal to burden the Ecclesiastical Commissioners with minister? money, because their funds were inadequate. Mr. FORTESCT.TE thought that the impost ought, nevertheless, to come from the funds of the Commis sioners ; but he regretted that this was only an isolated measure, and not a portion of a general reform. Mr. MONSELL trusted the hon. gentleman would withdraw his motion. Mr. FAGAN replied. He regretted that he felt it his duty to divide the house, for he was quite satisfied that the intention of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Napier) w as no t to a b olish the tax, but to transfer it from the occupiers to the landlords. The house then divided on the " previous question," namely, whether the motion should be put, and the numbers were : Ayes Noes.. 94 140 The motion was the re f ore no t put to the house. 46 BANK NOTES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed, and the house adjourned at a quarter past seven. PAIRS.—Mr. Kershaw paired off with Mr. Arkwrie, t in favour of Mr. Fagan's motion for the abolition of ministers' money in Ireland. UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON. —On 'Saturday even ing last, the professors of this institution gave the first of a series of three soirees, designed for the re-union of men of eminence in the various branches of medicine, litera ture, and art. The Flaxman gallery, which is a collec tion of the original works of the celebrated sculptor whose game it bears, was thrown open to visil;ors, a s was the general library, upon the tables of which were ar ranged various optical and other scientific 'instriunents, as well as some rare specimens in natural, history, and works containing elaborate engravings ill' istrative of ar chitecture, engineering, and Australian cznithology. The Flaxman gallery was lighted from the outside, and the windows being of ground glass, the subdued light was found peculiarly well adapted for ',,he inspection of the numerous works of art with vr'hicth the gallery abounds. The soirée was attended by I,` 200 persons, among whom were many fore igners of liter .ary distinction. AUSTRALIAN AGRICULTUP „AL COMPANY. —Among the effects produced by the go - id discoveries has been a re markable alteration in the circumstances of the Austra lian Agricultural Compan y. The shares of that under taking within the past ye r have been sold at a price as low as about 15 ; and nr ,w they are quoted at 65. It appears that for several months past dispatches have been received from the hief officer of the company in the colony inti ma ti ng tb .e existence of gold in their large tract of 300,000 fi , cres of land on th e P ee l Ri ver ; an that the latest ad, ices confirm the fact of many parts of it being rich, not milv from deposits in the alluvial soil, but also from the is esence of gold-bearing quartz. The selection of this la ,nd was made for the company many years ago by Sir N Villiam Parry, as being some of the finest in the colon; y for both pastoral and agricultural purposes. BRITISH ANTF.,BI 'ATE CJIIIRCH ASSOCIATION.— On Mon day night the a .utu mna 1 meeting of this association was held at the Lon( lon Tav ern, Bishopsgate-street.

SUGAR.-To-day West India Sugar was operated in with reluctance for home consumption, and in some cases the rates accepted were rather under those of Friday, although there was not a large supply. Of Barbadoes 200 hhds at auction were only in part dis posed of at barely previous valuations, fine yellow went at 38s 6d to 40s, and mid to good 36s to 38s per cwt. Total operations are only 300 hhds, &c. REFINED.-There is yet a reluctance to operate in re fined sugar for home consumption, and supply being plentiful, prices incline downwards, especially for inferior qualities. The rates taken for brown lumps have been 44s to 44s 6d; Titlers, common to fine, 44s 6d to 495, double 49s 6d to 508; Hambro loaves 45s to 49s 6d, and standard lumps 45s to 458 6d. For forward delivery there are several buyers rather under present terms. To-day home dealers were reluctant to operate in refined sugar, and the rates taken for brown lumps were 445, and low to fine grocery 445 6d to 47s 6d per cwt. Crushed Sugar is still wanted for shipping, at previous prices. MAURITIUS.-There is no further decline, supply being less than previously, fine yellow at 36s 6d to 388 6d, good 35s to 368, low to mid 33s t o 34 s 6d, goo d to fine brown 30 8 6d to 32s 6d, low to mid 27s 6d to 30s, common to fine grey 31s to 375, grainy brown 33s to 355, yellow 36s to 425, and white 43s to 47s per cwt. Stock differs little from last season. This afternoon Mauritius Sugar attracted little attention, and prices declined 6d per cwt for inferior and brown. At auction 7,065 bags were sold, good to fine yellow went at 358 to 36s 6d, mid 33s 6d to 348 6d, low 32s 6d to 335, good to fine brown 30s to 325, low to mid 27s to 29s 6d, very inferior 25s to 26s 6d, and common to fine refining 31s to 36s per cwt. EAST INDIA.-This afternoon there was a reluctance to operate in Bengal sugar, yet lower rates were not ac cepted. Of 3,500 bags at auction a small part oily sold, fine grainy white at 45s to 465, yellow ditto 408 to 425, other sorts 36s to 395, ord to mid white Benares 37s 6d to 38s 6d.

FOREIGN.-1,500 chts 'Havannah have been sold, brown at 33s 6d to 34s 6d, low to middling yellow 35s to 38s, good to fine 38s 6d to 40s, florrets 41s to 41s 6d; 200 chts Brazil, white 35s to 40s, yellow 348 to 358, brown 31s to 38s 6d ; 150 hhds Porto Rica, fine yellow 40s to 41s, low to good 34s 6d to 425, brown 32s to 345; 2,000 bags China, brown 31s to 325, yellow and grey 32s 6d to 34s ; 8,000 bags Manilla, clayed 33s to 34s 6d, not clayed 30s to 32s ; small parcels Java, brown and yellow 32s to 365, grey and white 36s 6d to 40s. To day the private operations in foreign Sugar were small for all purposes, and last week's rates are kept up with difficulty. None was offered at public sale. MOLASSES.-There are many buyers of West India, and high rates are paid for all sorts, but few parcels are on offer. Since this day week 400 puns have been sold, Antigua at 17s, Demerara 158, and St. Kitts 14s 6d per cwt. Bengal and Mauritius 'wanted at 13s, 13s r6d, Cuba and Porto Rico 15s 6d to 168 Od per cwt, but supply is scanty.

At public sale 134 cks 74 bgs were only in part disposed of, fi ne a t 6 6s to 69s 6d, good middling to good 598 to 655, low mid to mid 55s to 58s 6d, other sorts 49s to 54s 6d, and triage 42s to 48s. The public sales of 670 bags Madras and Mysore went at easier prices, from 47s to 52s for good to fine ord, and very ord 41s 6d ; Native Ceylon is less required, yet good ordi nary new import cannot be obtained under 478 per cwt.

Yesterday at Hammersmith Police Court, John Kelly • a policeman, 44 T, was brought up in custody, by order of the Commissioners of Police, and placed in the dock, charged with violently assaulting and attempting to commit a rape upon Martha Moore, a married woman, in Han well. The complainant, a respectable-looking woman, about thirty years of age, deposed that her husband was a police-constabl e in the same divisio n as th e p r i soner , and they resid e d at West -end, Northolt. O n M on d a y last, while returning home, about half-past four o'clock, she saw the prisoner, who was dressed in plain clothes, near the Southall railway station. He bowed to her, but she took no notice of him ; he then crossed the road, and asked her if if she did not know him. She replied that she did not ; he also asked her where she was going, and said she was going greatly out of her way, and that if she went back with him he would direct her the nearest road. She consented to return, and they walked as far as the Hanwel] iron railway bridge when he commenced taking indecent liberties with her. [The witness here described what ensued, which is quite unfit for publication]. She struggled very hard to release herself from his grasp, and screamed out for assistance. She heard the sounds of a coach, and again screamed, but it did not stop, and the prisoner still continued to hold her in his arms. Fortunately a man in a white smock frock appeared in sight, and the prisoner released his hold. Her cloak had been dragged off her shoulders in the struggle, and she also lost a bag of biscuits which she had bought for her children. She ran to the man and claimed his protection. The man walked with her until she met her husband. She did not know the man who accompanied her, and she did not tell her hus band what had occurred until the man had turned back and was gone. Mr. Beadon observed that it was very singular not to tell her husband, or to obtain the man's name. The witness said she did not think of anything, and was so flurried at the time that she was not aware of what she did say. The prisoner went away in an oppo site direction when she spoke to the man. Inspector Cooke said the prisoner had no business to be away in plain clothes. In the evening, when it was time for the prisoner to go on duty he sent word to the sergeant that he was sick, and he had subsequently said that he had been sick in bed the whole day, and that he was very ill. The piisoner said he met the complainant, and they walked together, and she stopped outside a public-house, where he brought her some gin and shrub, which she drank. The witness denied this. He asked her to go with him to Hanwell, and have a glass of something, but she declined. The prisoner said he could produce witnesses who would prove that she drank with him. They walked together arm in arm, and she first induced him to act in the manner he had done. He should never have taken liberties with her but for her willingness. Complainant. would never have said anything about the matter if the man had not been passing. It was her wish that they should go that road and not the other. Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner. • .

NEWCASTLE, MONDAY. —This morning, at the borough police court, a tailor of the name of Robert Knox, underwent an ex amination before Captain West, on the charge of at tempting to murder his wife. It appears that the pri soner is a master tailor in the Dog Bank, and his wire, a stay and corset maker. On Sunday morning, a few minutes before one o'clock, a quarrel, the origin of which is not yet known, took place between them, during which the man sprang out of bed, and seizing a large table knife which lay near the bed, he struck it with great force into the side of his wife, who was standing in the room with her clothes on. lier shrieks aroused a neigh bour of the name of Finnigan, who rushed into the room as speedily as possible, and found Knox an d hi s w if e lying upon the ground, and blood streaming copiously from both of them. As soon as Finnigan entered the room Knox drew from his side a large knife, and shouted " You see I have done it myself." An alarm was raised, and several of the neighbours came to Finnigan's assist ance, whilst others went in search of medical men and police officers. As the woman is not yet out of danger, her depositions will be taken by the magistrates at any period the medical men may think advisable. THE DIORAMA AND THE BAPTISTS.—It is currently reported that Mr. Peto, M.P. has purchased the build ing known as the Diorama, Regent's Park, for the pur pose of converting it into a Baptist chapel. The name of a respected Baptist minister in the provinces has been mentioned as likely to occupy the pulpit ; but at present, for obvious reasons, we refrain from naming the reverend gentleman. The ° purchase-money is said to be about 4,000/.—Patriot. LAW LOOKING UP.—The effect of the facilities afforded by the new procedure for the recovery of debts and un disputed demands, has been to produce a marked increase in the number of writs issued. In the year 1851, there issued between the 24th October and the 20th November, from The Queen's Bench, 2,163 ; the Common Pleas, 1,481 ; the Exchequer, 2,828 : total, 6,472. In the present year, since the Procedure Act has been in opera tion, the numbers issued during the same period have been The Queen's Bench, 2,415; the Common Pleas, 1,829; the Exchequer, 3,292; total, 7,537. Shewing a total result as follows :—ln 1851, 6,472 ; in 1852, 7,537; increase in 1852, 1,065.—Law Times. STATE OF TRADE IN IRELAND.—The past has been rather a dull week in the produce-market, the political battle and suspension of the Chancellor's statement, which is expected to contain some important changes, having very much tended to interfere with business. In shares, however, speculation has been more rife than ever, almost every description of security having got a further start. The prospects for the Christmas trade are good, and business on the whole is on a very satis factory footing. The Customs' duties are this week un derneath the same week last year in the sum of 2,2251., being only 17,1951. against 19,420/. On tea the receipts are 8,169/. ; Muscovado sugar, 2,325/. ; refined sugar, 181/. ; wine, 1,7001. ; s pi r it s , 800/ . ; toacco, 3,325/. ; and miscellaneous, 8001. The revenue receipts from the sth of October last are 141,349/. ; same time last year, 130,2681. ; increase, 11,0811. STATE OF THE WEATHER IN IRELAND.—Winter has already set in in its harshest form. On Sunday there was a rather heavy shower of snow, which, although it melted on touching the ground in and around the city of Dublin, continues to whiten the sides of the neighbouring mountains. The wind blew with excessive coldness, accompanied by occasional showers of sleet and rain, and the season seems to have assumed its severest aspect at an unusually early period ; the weather at this moment beingmore like that of January than November. Many places in the interior of the country still continue to suffer from the floods. LIABILITY O F A HUSB AND FOR A WIFE ' S DEBTS.— On Saturday, i n the City Sh er iff' s C ourt, an action was broughtbya milliner, named Guilania, against a Captain and Mrs. Harvey for a sum of 501. for goods supplied to Mrs. Harvey before her marriage. The debt was 76/., but had been reduced to bring it within the jurisdiction of the court. The lady (formerly Miss Julia Morton) was uncler age when the goods were ordered, but she had been introduced to the plaintiff by a lady of title, and her accounts had been examined by her sister, Mrs. Wheatley. Captain Harvey, who had lately returned from India, said he knew nothing of the debt. His wife had left his protection since the year 1848, and he did not know whether she was dead or alive. His honour said, as nothi ng h a d b een shown to dispute the debt, the plaintiff was entitl e d t o a ver di ct, s i nce a h us b an d was liable for th e d e b ts o f h i s wife contracted before marriage. His honour, however, reserved for consideration a point which had been raised as to the necessity of serving the wife. TEE "W. S. LINDSAY. "—There is at present lying in the East India export dock a very beautifully modelled iron ship of this name, built by the firm of W. S. Lindsay and Co., and intended for the passenger traffic to Aus tralia. Her length of keel is 170 feet, and over all she is 207 feet ; her breadth of beam is 28 feet, and her depth of hold 18 feet.

ROBBERY AT TATTERSALVEL—On Saturday. informa tion was received that a gentleman transacting some business at Tattersall's, having entered the Turf Tavern, in Tattersall's-yard, for some refreshment, was sur rounded by some fellows, who hustled him, and took from his person 4/. in gold, a 51. Bank of England note, an order for 7/. on the Killarney Bank, five florins, and tha gold ring off hie finger, after which, rushi ng ou t o f the house, they got dear away with their plunder, 855 816 COUNTRY MARKETS.
