Several important questions were raised this morning in reference to the custom in the printing trade—Mr. Beswick, attorney to the Compositors' Society, appearing for the various plaintiffs, who are members of the society. in the first case the plaintiff sought to recover Is. 9d. as the difference in the price of a certain fount ; aiid Mr. Beswick said he should be able to show that the plaintiff w a3 entitlei to receive the sum charged. His Honour asked if there was any dispute as to the question of custom in the trade. Defendant said that he had paid plaintiff the fair price, and he held up two " stamps." Mr. Beswick said there would bo a question as to the price to be paid per 1000 ems, and what differ ence could be raised between a space and a letter. His Honour said he could not settle the matter, but would adjourn it for the attendance of Mr. Day, overseer to Messrs. Clowes and Co., in o r d er that the Court might have the opinion of a practical man upon the custom and price of the trade. In the second case —Butler v. Burton the plaintiff had been engaged upon a certain piece of work with other men, and plaintiff claimed 18a. 9d. more than he had been paid. 'I he defence was that there had been a special arrangement by defendant's overseer to charge a certain sum. His Honour askci if the overseer was present, and adjourned the case for his attendance. Amongst the other cases the most important was that of White v. Fisher, in which the plaintiff sought to recover a fortuight's wages in lieu of the customary notice iu the trade. It was contended for the defence that plaintiff had been engaged to work by the day. lie was paid Ga. per day, which made in all 365. per week. He had worked three weeks and a day, and it was upon this he urged that he should have notice. Plaintiff ewer° he had not been engaged by the day hut by the week, and as there was a direct con tradiction, his honour said the case must go to a jury. POLICE INTELLIGESCE.—This Day. MARLB OROUGH-STREET. THE CONSERVATIVE WORKING MEN'S ASSOCIA TION MEETING AT ST. JAMES'S HALL.—In conse quence of the reports which appeared in this morn ing's papers, describing the riotous proceedings at St. James's Hall last night, at the Conservative of Working Men's Associatio n meet i ng, a large num ber persons attended th e C ourt th i s morn i ng, some stating that their object in doing so was to offer themselves as witnesses, but there was no case arising out of the matter brought before the magis trate (Mr. Knox). It appears that some persons were taken by the police to Vine-street police station, and there being no charges made by any one against them, they were liberated. TIIAMES. A BRUTAL HUSBAND. —William Nicholls, a boiler-maker, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with violently assaulting his wife, Eliza beth, a little woman, whose mouth was cut and face contused. The complainant said she had been married two years to the prisoner. They had one child. Her husband had been out of work since Christmas, and were chiefly maintained by the union. A fort night ago he beat her very brutally. She had a black eye, and was confined to her bed for two days. H e brought in the parish doctor to pro scribe for her, and said she had fallen down stairs. Last night her husband came home at 12 o'clock. She asked him where he had beon, and he said it was no business of her's. She said if he went out night after night he might take her with him. He then beat her about the face with his clenched fists and cut her mouth. She lost a good deal of blood and her dress was coverel with it. She went out and sat at her door until a policeman came by, and then made him acquainted with the way she had been treated. A police-constable said the young woman was bleeding copiously from the mouth when he saw her. Mr. Partridge asked Inspector Beare of the K division if there was not plenty of work for boiler. makers. Inspector Beare—No, sir, the boiler-makers can get no work ; there has been nothing for them to do in the port of London for some time. Mr. Partridge—Then I will withdraw the obser vations made about the prisoner being without any work for six months. I am. sorry to hear of the long cessation of employment. The case of assault, a brutal one, is clearly made out, and I sentence the prisoner to two months' imprisonment with hard labour. GREAT FIRE AT BERMONDSEY THIS DAY.—The most extensive conflagration that has occurred on the Surrey side of the river for a considerable time past took place about a o'clock this morning in the immense range of premises belonging to Messrs. Ostler and Palmer, leather manufacturers, japanners, cte., situate in the Grange-road, Bermondsey. The whole of the engines were set to work, but in spite of the vast torrents of water thrown upon the blazing buildings the flames continued to progress, and several hours elapsed before the firemen could get the flames under their control. The loss will amount to seve ral thousands of pounds sterling. The origin of the mis fortune is unknown. THE FRIGHTFUL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.—CORONER'S INQUEST.— This forenoon, Mr. Payne, the coroner, held an inquest at the Barley Mow Hotel, Salisbury-square, Fleet-street, on the body of Alexander Henry Dim, who lost his life on the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway on Saturday night last.

COFFEE.—There has boon a very limited inquiry, and the quantity announced for public competition during the wook being large, prices in a few instances have ruled a shade lower. EICE.—Some rather large arrivals havo taken place during tho last few days; business, however, has remained very inactive, without any material change in values.

Yesterday a meeting of Scotch Liberal Members was held in No. 16 Committee -room, Mr. Bou verie, the member. for Kilmarnock, in the chair, to consider the provisions of the Scottish Reform Bill, and more especially those which relate to the grouping. About forty members were pre sent—all who are now in town. The unqualified conviction seemed to be, that while the plan of grouping would in no way strengthen the popular cause in the boroughs, in the counties the Liberal interest would be seriously damaged, if not completely overthrown. It was unanimously resolved to oppose that portion of the measure. The announcement by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, yesterday evening, that the Cabinet had abandoned any intention of introducing an Irish Reform Bill this. session was heard by the Irish members with indignant dismay. They re call the fact that, in reply to a question from the member for Cashel, Mr. Disraeli gave a positive pledge that the measure should be brolght forward before the third reading of the English Bill. In consequence of the announcement a meeting of the Irish members has been called for to-morrow, in order to consult upon the course to be adopted. The meeting would have been summoned even more speedily, but it was necessary to communi cate with honourable gentlemen who are out of town. A marriage took place between Mr. James Foster, of Stourtou Court, and Miss Cartels, step-daughter of Colonel Fitzroy Campbell (late Scots Fusilier Guards), and sister to Lady Conyers.

The Earl of BELMORE moved the second readin g of this bill, and stated that it had been thought most advis able by Sir Baldwin Walker and others, who had much to do with S heerness and Chatham, that a stipendiary magis trate should be appointed to those districts. The regula tions as to health in Sheerness were very .peculiar, em bracing as they did ships, dockyards, &c., and it was absolutely necessary that here should bo a stipendiary magistrate there. _ _ The bill was then read a second time. SALE OF LAND BY AUCTIONS BILL. Lord ST. LEONARDS moved, with regard to this bill, that the house should agree to curtain exceptions to it which would prove beneficial to its operation, particularly those relative to the functions of auctioneers.

The SPEAKER took the chair at two o'clock. PETITIONS.

STUCLEY asked tho Vice-President of tho Council whether he was aware that in many instances farmers were called upon to take a journey of 30 miles to obtain a cattle pass? Lord R. MONTAGU said he was aware of the circum stance, but steps wore being taken to remedy the in convenience. RIOT AT BIRMINGHAM. In reply to Mr. MONSELL, Mr. HARDY said he had received a letter from the Mayor of Birmingham, stating that he had received addi tional military aid from Coventry and Weedon, and under such circumstances he did not think the Goverment need further interfere, as the local authorities seemed quite cer tain of being able to preserve the peace. PIERS AND HARBOURS BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. - REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The house wont into committee on this bill. On clause 15 being proposed, on which the question arose for the union of the universities of London and Durham for the purposes of Parliamentary representa tion, Mr. LOWE presented a petition from the heads of the University of London and urged the postponement of the subject, on the ground that the proposal had not been a sufficient time before the house to enable the matter to be well considered by the University of London. The Uni versity of Durham was local, whilst that of London wag cosmopolitan, and he felt certain that the proposition could not be appreciated with gratitude by either body, be cause it would be impossible, however good the one mem ber might be, for him to t ru ly re p resen t th e feelings of the two universities. He would be fit for one, but totally un fit for the other. (Hear, hear.) Both universities were excellent in their way, but they were both founded for dif ferent ends, and for different purposes. (Hear, hear.) He did not think it possible to propose the union of two greater contrarieties than that now submitted to the house by her Majesty's Government. He could not in anordance with the forms of the house move the postponement of the clause, but ho hoped the right hon. gentleman the Chan cellor of the Exchequer would not persevere in pressing forward the proposal of the Government for the union of the two universities for representative purposes. Sir M. RIDLEY said he was not so much alarmed at the proposal of the Government as his right hon. friend opposite. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the Government would persevere in their proposal. Mr. BRIGHT said the great effect of the right hon. baronet's remarks was not so much with regard to the union of the two universities as to show the desirability of ob taining political representation for Durham. Tile Uni versity of London was founded for purposes somewhat peculiar—viz., to grant degrees to persons who, for various reasons, could not avail themselves of the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. The proposal of the Government ho considered short-sighted and unwise, because they might just as well hope for a happy state of things by proposing to unite the University of Edin burgh, with its high Protestant feeling with the College of Maynooth. The union of the two universities was proposed for certain purposes, for good reasons, he had no doubt, to a very few persons; but if the house, he felt 'Certain, by a strong expression of opi nion, refused to assent to the proposal, the Chancellor of the Exchequer would be very much obliged to it. Mr. B. OSBORNE said he had ti t yet voted on this question, which had all at once assumed such gigantic proportions. (Laughter.) Ho could not for the life of him understand how the idea about the union of the two universities had entered into the minds of Her Majesty's Government. He had no doubt the hon. member for Durham had poured the venomous distillment into the ears of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. (Laughter.) He for ono until very lately was unaware of the existence of the University of Durham—(oh, oh, and laughter)—and he believed that a great many 9f his countrymen shared in that state of darkness. (Laughter.) Durham was generally connected with short horns, not scholars. (Loud laughter.) However, the existence of the university - had been introduced, and in a manner that would be a very good advertisement for it. (Laughter.) He did not believe the Government sincerely wished to carry the proposal, and therefore he called upon all true Radicals to come forward to the rescue of the Chancellor of the • Exchequer, who, like Prometheus, was chained to the rock by that insidious man the member for Durham. (Loud laughter.) The two universities were teasing the Chancellor of the Exchequer, like . Polly on the one side and Lucy on the other, and he only hoped he would and by saying " to neither a word will I say." (Loud laughter.) He thought the course they were pur suing was altogether wrong, and therefore he should move to fill up the blank in the bill with the word " Liverpool" —(loud cheers)—instead of the word "universities." The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not understand why such an opposition should be offered to a proposal which affected England, whilst the advisability of the same proposal for the union of the Lniversities of Aberdeen and Glasgow was tacitly ad mitted. • (Hear, hear.) It was said that neither of the Universities of Durham or London possess very large constituent bodies, but he had not been influenced by— that, but by what had been the state of ad vancement, the present condition and brilliant pros pects for the future of each university in submitting the proposal to the house. (Hear, hear.) He had heard no solid reason against the proposal of the Government, and therefore he hoped tha house would give its assent. Sir G. BOWYER reminded the house that if they re jected the proposal Durham would be the only university unrepresented, and to prevent that he should give his vote in favour of the proposition of the Government. Mr. CARDWELL strongly objected to the proposal, and he hoped the house would reject it. Mr. MOWBRAY remarked that it is not the fact to say there were religious tests required at Durham. Divinity was the only matter in which such were required. Mr. CRAWFORD asked whether it was possible for the proposal of tho hon. member for Nottingham to be put in any shape to the house ? The CHAIRMAN replied by putting the question to the house for its decision, viz., " That the blank in the clause be filled up with the word ' universities.' " On a division there appeared— Ayes 226 Noes 225 Majority for Government ... 1 Mr. TREVELYAN then moved as an amendment, the effect of which was to unite the University of Durham with that of Oxford. (Loud cheers.) H• did so because ho believed the sympathy of Oxford and Durham was stronger in sympathy than Durham and London, and therefore ho moved the amendment. _ _ The CUAIRMAN then put the question to omit the word "London," and to insert the words "Durham and Ox ford." Sir G. BOWYER asked whether it was the intention to give the power of voting to all tho graduates at Durham. Mr. MOWBRAY replied in the affirmative, and said that it was in the power of every new corner to bodome a gra duate. Of course they must have been graduates for a certain period before they became entitled to the pri vilege. He had further to state that ho believed it was the intention of the authorities in the event of representation being given to the university, to re move the restrictions which now ''required members of Convocation to bo members of the Church of Eng land. Mr. GLADSTONE would like very much to hear on what authority the hon. member made that assertion. Mr. MOWBRAY said he merely believed that, was the case from certain circumstances that had transpired, all of them pointing in that direction. A discussion then took place, during which the Chan cellor of the Exchequer said he had no desire or intention to alter the constitution of any universities by any of the provisions of the bill. Mr. TREVELYAN having withdrawn his amendment, the division was taken on the question that after the word "London" the words "and Durham" be inserted. Ayes 226 Noes 231 Majority —B The words "and Durham" were accordingly rejected, and the clause enacts that the University of London alone shall send a member to Parliament. Clauses 16 and 17 were agreed to, it being arranged tllat the discussion on the amencituotit of Sir J, Collier to the latter should not be taken until the bringing up of the report. Clause 18 (joint occupation clause) was agreed to. Clause 19, relative to the registration of voters, occupied the attention of the house up till seven o'clock, at which hour the sitting was suspended until nine o'clock.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.-LAST EVENING. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The House then went into committee on the bill. On clause 10 being proposed, Mr. LAING moved to insert after the . word "the" the following words—"cities and boroughs named in the third schedule in the Act, viz., Birmingham, Bristol, Leeds, Liverpool, Manchester, and Sheffield shall return three members to Parliament instead of two, and each of the • boroughs named in the fourth schedule, viz., Birkenhead, Merthyr Tydvil, Salford, Swansea, shall return two members to Parliament instead of one." Tho honour•..blo gentleman then proceeded at sonie length to erg:: the adoption of his proposal, Which he contended was nothing, but what was urgently required in justice to the extensive and important places he had named. He was of opinion th the adoption of his proposal would strengthen, net destroy. the bill, and that he hoped the house would not be deterred from assenting to his motion by the tremendous Conse quences shadowed forth by the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer. . Mr. BAINES and Mr. Biuour sitppqrted the proposal. Mr. T. HUGHES moved an al litioa to Mr. 14.tin:s amendment to clause 10, viz., after "three lumbers instead of two," insqrt "and in each ouch city or borough, each elector shall be entitled to three several votes and shall bo at liberty either to give all his votes to any one candidate, or to distribute them among any two or more candidates in such proportions as he may think fit." A sharp discussion ensued with respect to the proposi tion of Mr. Hughes, the chairman of the committee stating that the proposal of the hon. member for Lambeth was not an amendment but an addition to the amendment, and therefore it could not, with due respect for order, le moved until the first amendment had been disposed of. Mr. AYRTON suggested that as it is proposed that each of the boroughs named should have three members instead of two, the member for Lambeth might raise his question by inserting a description of the mode in which the three members should be elected. If he moved his amendment in that way, he would get rid of the difficulty. Mr. GLADSTONE —I understand that the hon. member for Lambeth, in deference to the wishes of the committee, has withdrawn his amendment. (No, no, and hear, bear.) 1 have the authority of my hon, friend for saying that be did hold that language. Then rose the hon. member for Sheffield, stating that the rules are so clear and precise, of course in his own mind, that there could be no doubt. He then proceeded to support kis view by putting in the mottth of the member foy,Lambeth a statement which my hon. friend did not use, for nothing fell from my hon. friend indicating that he would vote against the amend ment in case an addition should not be made. That sup position, therefore, is wholly inconsistent with the facts, and the rule is so clear, imperative, and precise—(laughter) —that I would submit that the case does not in the slightest degree touch the point. The two propositions are totally distinct, and I would very respectfully address one word of suggestion to the member for Lambeth in the interest of the discussion which he wishes to raise. We are all anxious to have a full; clear, and impartial discussion, but we cannot obtain the general judgment and arguments of the house if we mix up this special proposition of the member for Lambeth with the general claim preferred by the hon. member for Wick for additional representation. The one question will rise in perfect order after the other is disposed of. (Hear, hea►.) Mr. BOUVERIE submitted that it did not now lie with the member for Lambeth to withdraw his amend ment. He (Mr. Bouverie) considered him perfectly in order. No one can affirm that his proposition is not relevant to the amendment before the committee, and if he is to be precluded from moving an amendment, be cause discussion might be inconvenient, the right of mem bers would be entirely swept away. He thought the member for Lambeth was bound to insist. (No, no, and Hear, hear.) Viscount CRANBORNE suggested that the present discussion was one without an ism. With great respect he held the ruling not correct; but would submit that the proper course was not to proceed by scolding the chair. Mr. B. OSBORNE said the committee were getting into a tremendous mess, which would be increased if the amendment of the member for Lambeth were moved now He would not now speak of his right. The common sense is to decide the one thing before the hous e, and then the other will come on. Mr. HUGHES said after what bad fallen he had no difficulty as to the proper course to pursue. It was his in tention to support the member for Wick; but, in defe rence to the wishes of the committee, ho would ask leave to withdraw his amendment. Mr. BU PLEIC-JOHNS TON E, amidst general ale of " Divide," expressed his satisfaction that the Government had given a direct negative to the ameudment. M.r. E. JAMES, as a representative of Manchester, bad received no intimation of any local wish for additional representation. (Cheers from the Ministerial benches.) It may seem odd to say so; and when we find small towns so anxious to have a share in representation, one would expect that if Manchester and such paces were anxious for an additional member they would press ou their mem bers the importance of such increase. No such intima tion had been given to him, and he therefore was free to follow his own bent, and vote against the amendment of the member for Wick. Mr. BAZLEY said his hon. colleague had placed him in a very painful position. (Laughter.) It is quite true that no petitions on the subject had come from Man chester; but he had received remonstrances for not having proposed six additional members for Manchester. (Great laughter.) He hoped that an additional member would be given to that important city. (Divide.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER —The hon. member for Wick has asked this question, " Why do you give additional members to . large counties and not to the large towns ? " and he seemed to think that it was an ia quiry it was impossible to reply to. If he reflects on the circumstances I think the reply is not difficult. on, p Withoopula ut building the whole system on o ne of populati tion must be considered as one of the important elements entering into the case ; we must also look to the amount population o o f f o p o r o o a p f e f r t o s y g , r a e n a d f l one half the number of members. y w e e x k ce n e e d w s tvheartyowf eblotrothuagths,thaend that they are represented by only (Cheers.) There is a general opinion, I may take it, pre valent on both sides of the House, that this balance should be redressed. We have a proposal that would en franchise a considerable number of new boroughs, but even if you deduct the population which they amount to from the county population, still the county population will exceed by about one million the whole of the borough population, and I accept it as the general opinion of the House that that balance should be redressed, especially as the county population, superior in point of numbers to the boroughs, is about to be increased on a principle of a very popular character. How can we proceed in at tempting to redress the inequality of representation ex cept in the way proposed in the schedules laid on the table ? It would have been quite consistent to have in creased the representation of the counties without in a considerable degree increasing that of large towns ; but we must take a general view of the question. We can not discuss it on an individual comparison of one or two great towns, such as Leeds or Birmingham, with some small borough. We might as well compare the popula tion of some large county with a borough. South Lanca shire, for example, is to be divided under the new sys tem, and probably ono of the divisions would have 400,000 of population. Now, it would be a flagrant ano maly that a county possessing 400,000 people should - have only two members, while some smell town with 30,000 or 40,000 should have an equal number. It is quite clear that in dealing with an ancient system of representation like ours we cannot produce anything like perfect sym- , metry. We must proceed with prudence, and it is only periodically and by degrees that we can complete the re presentation. Take this question of the county represen tation which has been brought into discussion to-night, and see if we are iutroducing anything monstrous in at tempting to give something like an adequate representa -1 tion to eleven millions of the population. The House well knows the relative proportion between county and borough population. From the elaborate analysis given of 334 boroughs 84 seats may be fairly considered as indi rectly representing the various county interests ; and I mentioned last year that the consequences would be that if you took 81 seats from 334 and added them to lee, you would have 250 borough, and 216 county members. The moral I drew was that it would be an arrangement by which the contentment of the population would bo attained. 31 are in the 81 which, as I said, represented county You have taken away 45 seats from boroughs. Of these, populations. See how that works. Taking 45 seats from 331, there remain 289. You will, however, add 19 boroughs, and that will make 308. You muut deduct population ' front that 50 seats ;which are remaining from the 81 which are supposed indirectly to represent county pepule- Lion. If to the 162 county members you add 23 new ones, you make 187, and if you add 50 borough 4 ilber , which will still indirectly represent county o g p ui countyio n iute e r e r s i t t . - a s Isoy you will have 258 borough members and 237 county nniluelenhbeiras favour of members e re e p o r u es n e t n y ti p u rs t a h r e e s s a y ia s l t l e , n t e hat w m e ay pr b o e po e s o ed. But alt i h ti ft67ei e the upon the whole a fair adjustment, though not compensated ler . by the go of direct representatiomul: a n e u numbers and I cannot doubt the sincerity If the HoUse is boruisd of t the li pt ou t se— t advantage will see, after what has taken place, that in the redistri sbiunteteorne—of seats there should ha a counties in a more satisfactory position with regard tem to re presentation than has hitherto prevailed. I cannot doubt that the committee will think the arrangement we have brought forward is a just, fair, and proper arrangement. (Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) Tlio hon. member for Wick himself has shown there is good reason why we should increase the representation of great come ties, and not of small towns ; because there is up other mode by which we can give representation to those great interests which have hitherto been so imperfectly and rudely represented in this house than by an increase in
