MONEY MARKET. AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England directors have held their usual weekly court, and have separated, as was anticipated, without inaugurating any change in the rate of discount. The public did not expect any movement one way or the other, and no dis appointment has therefore been created. The de mand for accommodation has been active, the quo tations asked by brokers have been generally 7i and 8 per cent. for first-class short-dated paper. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under:— Great Western North Western South Western Brighter 1866. 1865. ... £64,795 £61,943 • 104,302 98.260 • 20,796 18,769 kaland d south Easte rn reat Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire Bristol • • 16,923 • 48,294 ... 19,227 ... 34,362 ... 40,710 15,519 43,160 17,650 83,490 35,190 and Exeter ... 5,574 5,404 North E astern 64,113 58,027 Manchester Sheffield, and Lincoln ... 20,247 16,735 Great Eastern . 32,805 31,429 Londo n , Chatham, and Dover ... 7,998 6,322 These returns, when compared with those of the c orresponding period of last year, are generally of a satisfactory character. On the Great Western there is an increase of £2,847, on the North Wes tern of £6,042, on the South Western of £2,027, on the Brighton of £1,404, on the Midland of £5,134, On the South Eastern of £1,577, on the Great Northern of £872, on the Lancashire and York shire of £5,520, on the Bristol and Exeter of £l7O, on the North Eastern of £6,086, on the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of £3,512, on the Great Eastern of £1,376, and on the London, Chatham, and Dover of £1,676. At the annual general meeting to-day of the share holers of the European Bank the directors recom mended a dividend of 6 per cent., free of income tar. The first report of the Lion Brewery Company states that the directors advise a dividend for the half-year of 6 per cent. on the preference shares, end 10 per cent. on the ordinary share capital, both fr ee of income tax.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before the Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) WALKER V. MILNER AND OTHERS. The hearing of this cause, the opening of which appeared at length yesterday in The Sun, was resumed this morning by the examination of witnesses on the part of the Messrs. Milner. Mr. Hopley, the manager of the establishment of Messrs. Milner in Moorgate-street, NA as called, and submitted to a long and minute examination to prove that it was not in his power to warrant the safes. He stated positively that when the Messrs. 'Walker came to their house to purchase the safe he never gave them a *errantry that the article he was selling was burglary proof. It was not the practice of the house to do so ; in fact, he was strictly prhibited from stating so. He would undertake to swear that when the invoice was sent to Messrs. Walker they had not a circular in use with a different sketch on it. Mr. Seymour (counsel for Messrs. Walker)—When you sold the safe to Mr. Walker did you believe the property placed in it would be perfectly safe ? Witness—l did. I never heard of any of our safes being broken open up to that time. never insured the safety of property placed in any of our safes. The learned counsel here read an extract from one of the circulars issued by the firm of Milner and Co., stating that by property being placed in their strong holdfust safes perfect safety would be insured from fire and thieves. The Lord Chief Justice did not think that the term "insured " in the prospectus bore the meaning the learned counsel for the Messrs. Walker was putting upon it. The circulars issued by the firm previous to the burglary represented that " perfect safety was insured" by the use of their safes, but in those issued afterwards it was only stated to be " strongly secured." The Lord Chief Justice thought that was saying too much, after the fact that one of their safes had been opened under the circumstances so well known. Witness, in answer to further questions, said Mr. Walker told him ho was going to place watches and jewellery in the safe, but he never said anything about its being left all night on the premises without any per son being there. He could not swear he did not go to Mr. Walker's premises and see the safe fixed after it was purchased, but he believed not. He recollected Mr. Berdoe, an outfitter, in Cornhill, bought a safe some years ago. He never said to him it was burglar proof. He never told him that it would hold out from Saturday to Monday, with perfect safety, against any burglarious attempt. Ho was quite certain of that. He was paid a salary by Messrs. Milner, and also a commission of If per cent. He received that commission on the safe sold to Mr. Walker. Mr. Seymour--I perceive in one of your circulars safes of this description, " lighter and cheaper than thief-proof holdfasts," what is meant by the last three words ? Witness—l suppose it refers to No. 3in the list. A Juror—What do you say when you are asked by a cus- 39} i 1291 147 592 1 CO3 2 122; 2 89 9; , 8 127 GI 7 9 f 4i 6 61 34 44 134 1 4 9k 10 120} 4 7 51 8} D2l r 63 64 nt 4 88 59 100] I tomer what you mean by the term strong holdfast-safe. Witness—l tell them they aro very strong safes. List No. 2 is called " fire resisting," and list No. 3, " strong holdfasts." A juror—What appears on the small plate in the centre of the safe now in court ? 46 74 62 6 7 The paint was removed from the plate and the inscrip tion was read. It contained the words " strong holdfast, gunpowder proof, and picklock proof safes." The evidence of the defendant, Mr. Milner, taken by commission, was then read. It stated most distinctly that Mr. Ilopley, their manager, was not authorised to give a warranty for these safes against burglarious attempts. Mr. James, the counsel for Messrs. Milner, said ho did not wish to occupy the time of the Court with the exami nation of scientific witnesses; the question for the jury was warrantry or no warrantry. 3) 8 7i 103 fr i } The Lord Chief Justice—That is, in fact, the question in 17 14} i issue. 10 - i 914 Mr. Brown (counsel for Messrs. Walker), said he should like to have it stated whether or no the warrantry was, if one was given, of a continuous nature. It would save time in a higher court. The Lord Chief Justice said he should not alter the de claration in order to fix the defendants for a warrantry for all time. The evidence being closed Mr. James proceeded to address the jury for the defen dant, to show there was no warranty, and had proceeded 'or a short time, when Mr. Digby Seymour said, the case having terminated so suddenly, he was taken a little by surprise. He should like to put Mr. Burdoe into the box to speak to the circum stances attending the safe he had purchased of the Messrs. 95 Milner. ,ITI Es. 88} i 1 O 1 981 9 The Lord Chief Justice thought it quite unnecessary to burden the case with going into matters connected with another safe. 1051 6 WI Mr. James then proceeded with his address for the de fendants. He contended that it had abundantly been proved that no warranty had been given, and that the plaintiff had altogether failed to make out his case. Mr. D. Seymour replied on the whole case.____Re_said ho thought he - hair - dbUnaantly proved the case for the plaintiff. He would ask the jury as men of common sense, to ask themselves what the term " holdfast thief proof safe" meant. He thought there could be little doubt but that they would come to the conclusion that tho conversation implied a warranty, beyond all . question. The circular also went to show— The Lord Chief Justice—Mr. Seymour, if your going to tell the jury that words used in the circular, issued by Mr. Milner, amounts to a warranty, it will be my duty to tell them it does no such thing. Mr. Seymour said he was about to show that the circular bore out the evidence of young Mr. Walker, who corro borated the evidence of his father, viz., that Mr. Hopley was distinctly asked whether he could warrant the safe when it was purchased, and he then distinctly stated that he could. His client now sought to recoup himself for the loss he had sustained by the reliance he had placed in the representations of the defendants, and he hoped the jury would think he had done but what he had a right to do in taking this step. The Lord Chief Justice, in summing up the case, said it was now in a very small compass ; the question whether Mr. Hopley had authority to warrant the article would re main for future consideration. What they had to consider to-day was whether he did give the Messrs. Walker a war ranty when the safe was purchased. Mr. Walker said ho did, and Mr. Hopley, the manager for the defendants, as distinctly says he did not. The son of Mr. Walker says an affirmative answer was given his father when he asked Mr. Hopley if he could warrant the safe as thief proof, and that Mr. Hopley further said his father would be perfectly safe in leaving his property in the sate. It was clearly proved that Mr. Hopley had no authority to warrant the safes on the part of his principals ; on the contrary, it ap peared most distinctly that he was strictly prohibited from doing so. The learned judge then carefully went through the evidence, and dwelt particularly on the conversation which took place when the safe was purchased. The de fendant's manager, it would be rocolle cted, taking Mr. Walker's evidence into consideration, in reply to the question whether he could warrant the safety of the property placed in the safe, did not reply that he could warrant it, but that Mr. Walker could rest perfectly secure that the safe he had purchased was a good one, and that it could not be opened without the key. It would be for the jury to de cide whether there was a warranty, and that was the only question they would have to decide. The jury then retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of twenty minutes returned into court with a verdict for the defendant. The Lord Chief Justice—You find there was no warranty. Foreman —We do, my lord. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir J. P. Stuart.) ARDEN V. PARRT.-EDWARDS V. PARRY.-TILE HOLBORN THEATRE. Mr. Bacon and Mr. Dickinson wore for the plaintiff Arden ; Mr. Greene, Q.C., and Mr. C. Park for the plaintiff Edwards ; and Mr. Mathis, Q.C.,and Mr. Angelo Lewis for the defendant. The plaintiff in both these cases moved for injunctions to restrain Mr. Parry, the proprietor of the Holborn Theatre, which is nearly completed, from erecting a wall at the back portion of the theatre, which, it was alleged, would obstruct the free admission of light and air to cer tain houses, of which E. Arden is the landowner, and the other defendant the landlord. • The hearing of these motions has already occupied two days, and was resumed this morning. The evidence, which consisted of affidavits of several architects on both sides was voluminous and conflicting, and in support of the plaintiffs' case there were also affidavits of the tenants of the premises, which, it was contended, would be injuriously affected by the rioposed wall. The counsel for the plaintiffs having been heard in behalf of their respective clients, Mr. Malins this morning proceeded to argue the case on behalf of the defendant. He contended that there was no evidence to show that the intervention of the court, either by interlocutory or injunction, was rendered necessary. Of its nature a more important case had never been brought before a court of law, and it was one which so deeply affected the interests of his client that he was anxious that it should receive the most careful consideration of the court before it was to be finally adjudicated upon elsewhere. The law bearing on the question in their motion had under gone considerable modification lately, and he trusted the court would give his client the benefit of that modification. The building was nearly finished, and, being 66 feet wide by 100 long, it involved the defendant in considerable ex pense, amounting, as he was informrd, to £lO,OOO already. The defendant was a gentleman who bad for a long time been connected with theatres, and had been very success ful in some of the theatres which he had erected. It was suggested to him in 1864 that a theatre was required in the neighbourhood of Holborn, and that it would be popular and profitable. The defen dant, who was a man of enterprise as well as success, im mediately availed himself of the suggestion, and, having canvassed landowners and tenants in the neighbourhood, he found there was a general feeling in favour of the pro posed theatre, which was manifested by the presentation of petitions in favour of it to the Lord Chamberlain. The site occupied by the building had become a receptacle of decayed vegetables, stagnant water, and other matter of an offensive description. That nuisance had been abated by the erection of a theatre, and it appeared strange that the plaintiffs should object to what had been the mean' of doing a great ad vantage to their property. Vice-Chancellor Wood, as trustee of the Doughty estate, gave his sanc tion to the erection of the theatre, which was to be completed within a given time under a penalty of £l,OOO. The defendant also became liable to the Court of Chancery for a rent of £lOO a year for GO years. The excavation commenced in November last, and considerable progress was made before any exception was taken to the erection of the building. The site had been enclosed, and a large board posted outside describing it as the site of the Holborn Theatre, while notices had been served on the different tenants in the neighbourhood apprising them of the erection of the intended building. In law a notice to a tenant was de facto a notice to a landlord or a landowner. Nethwithstanding that, it was not before July last that any objection was made to the erection of the building. He contended that the plaintiffs had acquiesced in the building of the theatre by not opposing it before, and that they were not conse quently to call the court into action on their behalf. His Honour doubted whether non-opposition up to a certain period could be construed into acquiescence. _ _ Mr. Malins said that if his Honour's views were correct it would put an end to the construction of any large build ings in the metropolis. The learned counsel then pro eeeded to cite several cases bearing on the question at issue. His Honour suggested that Mr. Parera, Mr. Nelson, and other architects and surveyors engaged for the parties, should lay their heads together and give the Court the re sult of their consultion to-morrow. The motion accordingly stood over. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, ____.,•___ MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE POLICE AND THE PUBLIC—CHARGE OF RESISTING AND ASSAULTING A CONSTABLE AT A EIRE.—Mr. Thomas Walton, assistant to Mr. Squires, chemist, 227, Oxford street, was charged before Mr. Knox with resisting and assaulting police-constable' Thomas Beal, 119 0, while in the execution of his duty at a fire at Messrs. Laurie and Marner's, the coachbuilders, in Oxford-street. , Beal said that on the previous night between nine and ten o'clock he was on duty at a fire in Oxford-street, and saw the defendant pushing his way through, stating that he wanted to see an engine work, as he had never seen one. He pushed the defendant back, when he resisted a good deal, became very violent, and . struck him in the mouth, and he was obliged to get assistance to take the defendant to the station. The defendant said that he had been looking at the fire, and walked through between two police-constables, the fire being then nearly out, and very few persons about The constable (Beal) who was then standing on the pave ment made a rush at him, and pulled him back amongst what crowd there was. Another constable then came up and interfered in his (defendant's) behalf, and told him that persons were not admitted through during the fire. He told that constable that that was common sense, and the way persons should be treated, and not roughly used. He never struck the constable (Beal) at al], and the constable never thought of taking him into custody till he went up afterwards to hiin, acting upon the advice of a gentleman who was in court, and an entire stranger to him, to take his number. Mr. Woolley, No. 1; UpporMontague-street, said that at the time in question there were about 50 persons standing in Union-street. Several persons pushed their way through, and the constable (Beal) was very insulting to some of them in the remarks he made, saying to a gentle man's footman in livery, "Don't you want to go to No. 7?'' not that he (witness) knew what that meant. The con stable was very excited, and he believed the worse for drink. Mr. Knox asked the witness whether he understood him to charge the constable with being drunk ? The witness said he did. In fact he saw him leave his post and go to a publichouse with others. He observed the defendant walk in the centre of the road, and the constable then ran after him and handled him very roughly, tearing his coat, and pushed him back amongst the people. The police allowed some persons to go through, and there were plenty of persons walking about the street besides the police. He (witness) went up to the defendant and advised him to take the constable's number for the rough way in which he had treated him. Shortly after the defendant went up to the constable to take his number, and the con stable then spoke to some other constables, and rushed back and took the defendant into custody. On the way down Bond-street a young man (not a constable) walked by the side of the constable a short distance, and he walked to the other side of the defendant and took hold of his hand (not that he was wanted). About 300 persons followed, and the constable turned round and said, "Now, you go back. You have no occasion to follow me, I am good enough for two any day." He (witness), however, did fol low, and, when near Bruton-strsiet, the constable spoke_to - dou ana he also went to the station with the defendant. The constable asked the witness whether he did not see the defendant strike him in the mouth while he was taking his number ? The witness said the constable said nothing about de fendant taking his number at the station last night. The constable asked whether the defendant's coat was not torn through trying to got away. The witness said the defendant did not attempt to get away, and that the coat was, torn through the constable's violence. Mr. Knox asked whether the inspector who took the charge was in attendance. Sergeant Bason, 12 C (acting-inspector), said the de fendant was brought to the station last night, charged with resisting a constable and assaulting him at a fire in Oxford-street. The constable said that the defendant tried to push his way through ; that he desired him to go back, and that then the defendant struck him in the mouth. The constable said nothing about the defendant taking his number. Mr. Knox discharged the defendant, and told the Ser geant to let the case bo a matter of report to the Commis sioners of Police, for an inquiry into the constable's conduct. 1 1 1 - 1 D EDITION.

Sales prob a bly about PRACTICAL FENIANIS3I.-ADVICE OF THE " NEW YORK HERALD." —Wisely directed, the vast machi nery of the Fenian organisation, the fervid faith which its followers have in it, and the liberality with which all classes of our Irish'people contribute to its funds, may be turned to excellent account, and may accomplish more for down-trodden Ireland than revolution ever accomplished for any people since the world went round. Fenian ener gies should be directed entirely to the single object of bringing the Irish people out of Ireland into this country. The Fenian brotherhood should become, heart and soul, an immense emigration society, and their grand purpose should be to further this exodus of their countrymen. By acting with this view through all its agents, and spending its great accumulations of money in this way, Fenianism will do more for Ireland than it could have hoped to do in that country. It will give the Irish people a republican government, and to every Irishman a comfortable home. This it can never do in Ireland. Republicanism cannot flourish on that soil. Already, in several Western States, a movement to further emigration on a most extensive scale has been set on foot. This originated in Minnesota, but is widespread. These emigration societies propose to choose available lands, and locate the emigrants as they come ; and it is probable that some States will assist the measure with funds. This is practical assistance to the Irish. Let the renians give up their bitterness and curses, plots and plans and squabbles, and go to work in the spirit of these societies, and all Ireland may yet with reason bless the organisation as the real salvation of the people.

PRIVATE BUSINESS. . _ The Sandown and Newport (Isle of Wight) Railway Bill was read a second time. INNOVATIONS IN CHURCH PRACTICE The Earl of SHAFTESBURYIaid a petition on the table from certain members of the Church of England in Derby shire, setting forth that innovations in the service of the Church Establishment were going on to a very large ex tent, and praying for the interference of Government to arrest the progress of the same. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. Some petitions were presented from different parts of the country, praying for the adoption by Government of measures of an immediate and stringent character, to stay the progress of the cattle disease. L s orcI w CAMPBELL asked the question, of which he had given notice, relative to the stops which Government pro posed to take in reference to the cattle plague. He asked if the Government proposed to adopt the suggestions made by the Earl of Derby the other night on this subject. Earl GRANVILLE replied in the negative.. The Marquis of SALISBURY moved for certain re turns relative to diseased cattle imported into the port of London, and said that that importation had gone on to a considerable extent. He thought it right that steps should be adopted at once in reference to this matter. The Earl dRANVILLE assented to the production the returns moved for. PRISONS' ACT. The Earl of CARNARVON moved for copies of instruc tions issued by the Home Secretary in relation to the Pri sons' Act. The returns wore ordered. THE CATTLE PLAGUE. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH moved for copies of all orders made by courts of quarter sessions relative to the cattle plague since the Order in Council of IGth Deqember, 1865 ; and for a copy of a letter from the Secretary of State to the chairmen of quarter sessions relative to the Sara °ray,- _ Earl GRANVILLE said the documents referred to would be laid on the table. The Duke of MARLBOROUGH said that it would be more convenieut if there were an analysis of the docu ments presented to their lordships of their being given in extenso. It was very desirable that immedfate action should be taken on this most important matter. The Duko of BUCCLEUCH said he hoped that the or ders i 4 Council would extend to Scotland. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tins EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. METROPOLITAN AND ST. JOHNS'-WOOD RAILWAY. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. DOULTON moved the immediate rejection of this bill, because it sought to invade some of the most beauti ful places .near the metropolis, viz., Hampstead-heath. (Hear, hear.) This bill sought for powers to take 29 acres of the heath, which would be but the first step towards the total destruction of this one of the largest open spaces left to pent-up artizans of the metropolis. It was quite true that those 29 acres were not entirely re quired for the purposes of the railway, but if powers were given to take this land by the company it would for ever be removed from the power of the house. (Hear, hear.) He thought this extremely undesirable, especially at a time when the First Commissioner of Works had given notice of his intention to bring iu a bill to deal with the open spaces in and around the metropolis. He therefore moved the bill be read a second time this day six months. Mr. F. POWELL supported the amendment. Tooting Common had been entirely destroyed, and now it was sought to destroy Hampstead-heath. Mr. WATKINS thought the ordinary course ought not to be departed from in this case, but referred to the committee up stairs. Mr. T. HUGHES strongly deprecated the house grant ing powers to now metropolitan railway companies to pull down and cut up any description of property they pleased. (Hear, hear.) The system if persisted in would soon as sume a state of social tyranny that would be perfeotly un endurable. The railway came in, pulled down the houses without the least compensation, and the poor people were turned out without compensation, and in the place of the usual inhabitants of the district the railway contraotor brought in a large body of navvies, for whom no shelter was provided, and thus til3y were left to shift as best they could. He hoped to house would reject the bill. The SPEAKER put the question, when the bill was re jected without a division, the " ayes" being very few and feeble, "whilst the "noes" were particularly emphatic and numerous. NORTH METROPOLITAN RAILWAY BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a second time, Mr. DOULTON said, although he was not quite satisfied with the bill, he did not believe it interfered to such an extent with the open spaces as the preceding one, he should not object to its second reading. The bill was read a second time. HIGHGATE, Hi.MYSi!EAD,aisTD CHARING-CROSS RAIL WAY. The second rea,dir. , of this bill, another of those rail ways who sought fcr powers to cross Hampstead-heath, was postponed until Monday next. UNDUE RETURN. A petition was presented against the return for Har wich. PRIVATE PROPERTY AT SEA. Mr. GREGORY said on the 2d of March he would urge upon the attention of the Government the advisability of pressing upon foreign Governments to take steps for the prevention of the seizures of private property at sea, with a view of making it a portion of international law. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS. Mr. LIDDELL asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of the Government to propose to continue the act 24 and 25 Vic., c. 113, relating to industrial schools, which expired on the Ist of January next ? Sir G. GREY said it was the intention of the Govern ment to continue the act until the end of the present session. THE LOSS OF THE LONDON. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it was true that a counsel retained by the friends of some of the passengers lost in the London to attend the inquiry into the causes which led . to the foundering of that ship, retired from the investigation be cause he was not permitted to cross-examine the witnesses; and, if so, what steps had been taken by the Board of Trade to elicit by an inquiry the whole facts s l O connected with that melancholy event ? Mr. M. GIBSON said it was quite true that counsel had been refused permission to cross-examine witnesses at this inquiry, and had, therefore, retirod from the case. Mr. Traill, the magistrate, had refused the permission in order that the inquiry might be conducted according to the provisions of the Act of Parliament. Had the application been allowed, it was tho opinion of Mr. Traill it might have compromised the rights and liabilities of certain parties which might have to be tried in a court of law. Great inconvenience would have arisen had the cross-examination been permitted, and an oppor tunity thus presented of anticipating the decision of a court of law. The gentlemen conducting the proceedings had the privilege of suspending the certificates of those in command of ships under certain circumstances, but further than that they could come to no final conclusion in connection with the great calamity. Sir J. PAKINGON said in conseq uenc e of the T answer of the right hon. gentleman ho should call the attention Of the house to the subject an an early day. SEWAGE OF LARGE TOWNS. Mr. SCHREIBER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to propose. early in the present ses sion, any additional legislation with regard to the sewage of large towns ? Sir G. GREY said he had no such intention. CATTLE PLAGUE (IRELAND). In reply to Col. FORDE, Sir G. GREY said instructions had, he believed, been given to inspect all vessels arriving at an' place on the Irish coast, but he could not say the exact nature of them. The hon. and gallant member, however, might rest satisfied that the attention of the Irish Government was closely directed to tho matter. The O'DONOGHUE asked the Attorney-General for Ireland whether he did not think there was great danger in delaying the introduction of a measure to meet the re quirements of Ireland should the cattle plague extend there ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said he had no fears on the matter. A measure, however, had been prepared, and as soon as it had received the sanction of the Government it would be brought forward for con sideration. Sir R. ANSTRUTHER asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether in those counties in which a rate for compensation had been raised by volun tary assessment, those who paid such rates would be re lieved by the amount they have already paid from con tributing to the rate to be raised to the local authority. Sir G. GREY said it was not easy to give an explicit answer to the question, but he assured the hon. member that the greatest care would be taken to prevent undue pressure upon any particular district. Lord ELCHO said the Scotch members had been invited by the Lord Advocate to meet to-morrow i❑ the members' tea-room. Now, he should like to know what subject was to be considered? The LORD ADVOCATE said he wished to hear the views of Scotch members with respect to certain portions of the Cattle Plague Bill. ll thought they might go over the clauses of the bill which affected Scotland, and agree upon certain matters which would facilitate the progress of the bill through committee. JAMAICA. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Secretary for the Colonies if ho proposed to introduce the Jamaica Govern ment Bill that evening. Mr. CARDWELL said it had been thought advisable to introduce a measure that evening, but the discussion of it would be taken on Monday evening next, on the occasion of its second reading. NEW COURTS OF JUSTICE. Mr. C. BENTINCK asked what steps were being taken with respect to the building of the new law courts ? Mr. COWPER said the selection of the design for the new courts of justice would be by competition. As that matter would be a very extensive and intri cate one, the number of architects who would be entitlec to compote would be limited. The gentlemen who were to enter into competition would be nominated by a committee composed of some of the leading members of the legal profession, and a number of the members of that house. CATTLE DISEASES BILL. The house then went into committee on tho bill intro duced by the Government. Clauses up to 5 were agreed to, and Clause 6 was pos poned.

Several of the Paris papers have not appeared to-day, in -,-ausequencis ut - yersverany ourng NErove Tuesday. A letter dated the 10th inst. mentions some important particulars regarding the position of affairs between France and Italy. General La Marmora, Minister of Foreign Affairs, has just sent to the Marquis de Tagliacarne, Italian Minister at Madrid, a note in which he protests very ener getically against the language and tendency of the diplo matic documents emanating from the Cabinet of Madrid on the subject of the Roman question, and recently published in Spain in the Spanish red-book. In this note the General recalls to recollection that he declared, before the recognition of Italy by Spain, in a despatch to Baron Cavalchini, Charge d'Affaires of Italy at the Court of Madrid, his opinion as follows :—" The Government of , King Victor Emmanuel does not recognise the right of the Catholic Powers to ask explanations relative to religious interests which are not in question, and which are not less dear to it than to the Cabinet of Madrid." General Mar mora proceeds to remark in this note that the conditions of the Treaty of Sept. 15, 1864, concerns exclusively France and Italy. The most important portion of the note consists of an energetic complaint in reference to a despatch of the Spanish Minister, M. Bermudez de Castro, in which that Minister, although recognition had been made of the kingdom of Italy, "expressed a hope that some provinces which now form a portion of the kingdom of Italy may eventually be detached from it." In reference to this letter, I may add that a certain degree of anxiety has prevailed in Paris for the last few days upon the subject of the relations between Italy and Spain, and that the Bourse has been influenced by reports of the re signation of General La Marmora. These reports, how ever, have not yet been confirmed. Accounts from Turin mention the death of Count Rodolphe de Maistre, son of the celebrated author of "Le Pape" and "Des Entretiens sur le Gouvernraent Tem poral de la Providence." The Count was Major-General in the Piedmontese army, and for his long services the King Charles Albert rewarded him with the cordon of the supreme Order of the Annonciade. He died in his 75th year at Borgo, near Turin, at the chateau of his sister, the Duchess' de Laval Montmorency, a name well known to Franco. The late Count Rodolphe was tho author o. "Memoires, Lettres, et O'puscules de Joseph de Maistre,' and added some biographical notes respecting his illus trious father. The meeting of shareholders of the Credit Mobilier, to which I directed your attention, unanimously adopted the resolutions for amendment s i n th e statutes of the company and the important one authorising the doubling of the capi tal, which will be raised f rom 60 t o 120 millions by means of the issue of 120,000 new shares, to be reserved exclu sively for the hold ers o f o ld s h ares.

During the day this religious fervour has not relaxed. When Lent begins, in each parish the mandemant of the bishop is published. The mcmclemant of the Archbishop of Paris, M. Darboy, for the Lent of 1866 deserves perusal by all thinking and educated persons, from the excellent moral lessons it conveys, and merits consideration . entirely apart from its religious character. The subje . ct is le Devoir — o ur Duty. The archbishop, after proving that k all or cl a u s s s e e have duties n du i t n ies s t o o ho p o e l i s •- form, says—" You who s , persons in all s'.,c.tions and in pea assemblies, or the pr:.ss, remain faithful to your duty, that is to say truth and virtue.

Only pronounce 'words capable of d o i ng good, and sign your name only to articles which you will not have to regret at your death, and for which your son will never have reason to blush." As some of the eminent Lentpreathers of Paris may not be unkhown to your readers, I give a list of the appoint ments just made for the present Lent season. The preacher at the chapel of the Tuileries is the Abbe Deguerry, curate of the Madeleine, Notro Dame; the Father Felix, St. Eustache ; the Father Matignon, St. Germain l'Auxervois ; the Abbe Thomas, the Madeleine ; the Abbes Joseph and Augustine Lemann, St. Roch ; Father Mingard, St. Augus tine (a new church); the Abbe Boeuf, St. Louisan Ile ; the Abbe Daisne, chaplain to the Emperor, Notre Dame de Loretta; Father Bazin, St. Philippe du Roule ; Father Stanislas, ; Father Leprinco, St. Clotilde ; the Abbe Loyson, St. Etienne du Mont ; Father Lefebvre, St. Germain des Pres ; the Abbe Flurel, St. Sulpice ; Father Sourrieux, St. Thomas d'Aquin ; Father Faucilion, St. Mary ; Father Soini6, St. Nicholas des Champs; the Abbo Normand, Blanes Manteaux ; the Abbe Brocard. At St. Paul, the Abbe Fleuret, a preacher of note, formerly of St. Sulpice ; at the Abbaye-au-Bois, Father Janin. In what is now called new Paris there are 57 churches. Again is there a strange and sudden change of weather. This morning the gardens and fields near Paris were, covered with white frost, and this evening a rather strong and cold wind prevails. The barometer betokens more storm. Archaeological Association. Yesterday evening an ordinary meeting of this association was held in their rooms in Sackville . street—Mr. Syers Cuming in the chair. A great number of curious and interesting objects were ex hibited by several members. Two pieces of earth enware found under highwater mark on the coast of Lincolnshire were shown, which were con jectured to have been the implements used in mould ing the clay in ancient potteries. They bore on parts impressions of the rough skin of the hand of the workman who had pressed the clay together in forming the implement, but no clue has been ob tained to the date. Mr. Curving expressed the opinion that they belonged to the Roman period, and he thought that if further search were made near the place where they were found some traces of a Roman pottery would be discovered. Mr. Greenshields and Mr. Cuming exhibited three ancient doigtiers of bronze that had been employed, like the medival moulines, for bending the cross bow. An archer's thumb-ring of Aventurine paste, the material made at Murano in the 17th century, but the ring itself of Oriental manufacture, was exhibited by Mr. Cato. Long oval guards of bone for the left thumb of archers, from Kamtschatka, were exhibited by Mr. Cuming, and a somewhat similar thumb guard of bone from an excavation in Lombard-street was shown by Mr. J. W. Bally. It was stated by Mr. Curving that the Asiatic archers were accustomed to pull the bowstring with the thumb, and it was for protection against the friction of the string that the first thumb guard was used, while the object of the others was to protect the left thumb from the blow of the string. Some specimens of earthenware Roman pottery, found at a depth of 18ft., in digging the foundation of a house in Grace church-street, were exhibited by Mr. Roberts. A curious plaque of impressed horn, bearing the Ber nini bust of Charles 1., and the badge of the Stan leys, an eagle and child, was exhibited by Mr. Kendrick. It is believed to have formed the lid of a box once the property of the first Earl of Derby, who was beheaded at Bolton in 1651. Mr. Gordon Hills read a notice of a manuscript compiled with great labour and research by Mr. Walton, contain ing lists of the deans and other dignitaries connected with Chichester Cathedral from the 11th century to a recent period, with occasional entries of the most remarkable of them. These details, he observed, threw great light on many parts of the cathedral and its history. Mr. Walton, who was present, expressed his thanks to Mr. hills for giving interest by his exposition to the facts he had collected, and he complimented Mr. Roberts on having detected by his examination peculiarities in the structure of the building, which the facts since collected from various records had fully established. The meeting then adjourned. COURSING. -- .1 0.- GREAT WATERLOO MEETIN G-WEDNESDAY. FIRST COURSE.

A TRITEFRIEND OF THE POOR SCHOOL-CHILDREN OF LONDON !--The annual treats to the scholars of Claylands Sunday School took place in the school-rooms, Clapham-road, on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday evenings last. On Monday there was a social tea-meeting of the children's parents. On Tuesday the elder scholars, after partaking of a substantial tea, assembled in the lecture-room, where Mr. W. H. Miller (whose name has been known and honoured throughout London as one of the most energetic promoters of the aiigged School move ment) gave a very amusing lecture, entitled "A Journey from the North Pole to Spain," illustrated by a moving panorama. The school children sang at intervals a selec tion of music, concluding with " God Save the Queen."
