AN ADMIRER OF THE EARL OF DERBY--John Hill, a commercial traveller, residing at 28, Spencer roail, Stoke Newington, was charged before Mr. Flowers with being drunk and creating a dis turbance. Sergeant Leech, 17 C, said that on Saturday night the defendant went to the residence of the Earl of Derby, No. 23, St. James's-square, and demanded an interview with his lordship on im portant business. The defendant was told that he could not see the Earl, and, as he was in a state of intoxication, he (the sergeant) was sent for and took him into custody. The Defendant said he was exceedingly sorry for what had occurred. He had a glass too much, and could not account for acting as he had foolishly done, as he was a great admirer of his lordship. Mr. Flowers said as there was no desire on the part of any one from the house to punish the defendant, and as he hoped that his statement was true, he would discharge him. WESTMINSTER. Tnn USE OF MURDEROUS WEAPONS.—Peter and Dennis Gee, brothers, were charged with assaulting Thomas Caley with a bar of iron and a pair of tongs, by which he had been wounded in the head. Complainant said he lived at 1, Eliza-place, Pimlico, where he was standing on Saturday night, when Dennis came up, and saying, " You wanted to fight my brother," struck him with his fist in the mouth. They then had a fight, and afterwards Dennis struck him with the piece of iron and Peter with the tongs on the head. Dennis said they had a fair fight, and after that Caley and his companions broke down their window and forced their door, and there was a great dis turbance, and their mother had a severe blow given her. Mr. &He said he was determined to discounte nance the use of murderous weapons, which was, tin_ fortunately characteristic of the lower conditions of the Irish. He should fine defendants 405., or one month. THAMES. A NEW LAW WANTING FOR DRUNKARDS.—Thos. Chouch, a well-dressed, corpulent man, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of hims?lf. Police-constable Ayres, 96 H, stated that at five minutes past ten o'clock on Saturday night he saw a great number of disorderly peope in Back Church lane, Whitechapel, following the prisoner, who was very drunk and rolling about the streets. The mob began to increase, and among the disorderly were some thieves, who would have soon e►scd the pri soner of all he possessed. The prisoner was quite helpless, and he to ik him into custody. The Prisoner—l am very sorry. I drank too much, I know. Mr. Paget said the prisoner was a coasting pilot, a man apparently respectable, ono who had to com mand and direct others, to whom he ought to show a better example. Common seamen were often brought before him charged with being drunk, and he had often fined them ss. lie could do no more with the prisoner. Ile often repelled, and he had occasion to regret now that the law only empowered him to inflict a fine of ss. for drunkenness, however wealthy and respectable the person charged might be. A new law for drunkards waa very much wanting. lie was very sorry he could only fine the prisoner 55., which ho must pay for being drunk and incapable of taking care of himself. The money was paid immediately. There are 46 night charges, 8 remanded cases, and about 20 summonses to be beard this day. In addition there are . 50 persons wan ti ng to ma k e a pplication for advice, summonses, and warrants. DEATH OF Mn. JoHN HARDMAN.—Last week, at Bristol, there died Mr. John Hardman, the head of tho firm of Hardman and Co., of Birmingham, at the age of fif t y-fi ve . The deceased gentleman is well known as the reviver of the art of metal-working and glass-painting, to effect which object he spared neither time nor money. In 1845 Mr. Hardman gave an impetus to the trade of Bir mingham by improvements in stained glass, realising that solemnity and harmony of colour, as well as peculiarity of design, form, and expression which is the characteristic of the best medieval artists. CRYSTAL PALACE.—FIVE SHILLING DAY.—Sa turday, June I.—Admissions on payment, 5,231; ditto by season tickets, 8,219: total visitors, 13,470. MR, CHAS. KEAN.—On inquiry at the Waterloo Hotel, Liverpool, on Saturday night, a correspondent was informed that Mr. C. Kean, though very weak, was progressing satisfactorily, and it was hoped that he would soon be strong enough to bear removal to Buxton. SOCIETY OF ENGINEERS. —The president, Tice president, several members of council, and a number of members of the (Society of Engineers, loft London for Paris, by special train, on Saturday afternoon to visit the Exhibition. During the week meetings of the members will be hold in Paris. FUNERAL OF MR. GEO. HuGGErr.—This gentle man, lately so well known to the Liberal party of West minster in all matters connected with the registration and elections was interred on Saturday last at the Necropolis Woking Cemetery. FEARFUL DEATIL—A most fearful accident, which resulted in the immediate death of 10 men and occurred at Washington Colliery, on the Wear, on Friday evening. Through a fall 16 men and lads had been barred up in the Maudlin seam, and were prevented getttng up with the shift of men who came out of the pit in the afternoon. About six o'clock the fall having been cleared away the men and lads had been sent to the foot of the shaft to- go to bank, and ten of them were in a cage of two docks between seven and eight o'clock, and were drawn up the shaft by tho engine. Instead of stopping his engine when the cage got to bank, Tudor, tho engineman, had let it go on, and the result was the 10 poor creatures were run up to the pulleys in the cage. Upon passing the bank the men shouted with all their strength, but no notice was Liken of them, and as soon as the cage struck the chocks near the pulleys or wheels, which it did with considerable force, the wire rope broke, and the whole of the men in the cage were preci pitated with it down the shaft, to the sump, a depth of 250 yards, and it is needless to say that they wore all killed on the 'spot. FRIGHTENED TO DEATII.—On Thursday a lady, named Unthank, who had recently taken up her residenc e at Hungerford for the benefit of her health, took a stroll over the Downs, where there are a number of cows grazing. It seems that she supposed the animals wore following her, and accordingly ran as fast as she could to get out of their way. After running for some distance she sat down on the turf,having called a boy to her assist ance, and expired immediately. Dr. Mayo was called to her, but his services were of no avail, as the fright and the excessive exertion through running brought on a fit of apoplexy, which terminated fatally. The coroner for the district subsequently held an inquest on the body at the Three Swans Hotel, and a verdict in accordance with the medical testimony was returned. COMPOUND RATING.—A conference took place on Saturday, at the Marylebone Court-house, relative to the difficulty of collecting parochial rates created by the pass ing of Mr. llodgkinson's amendment to the Reform Bill. The notice was issued by the vestry of St. Marylebone. Dr. Bachhoffner, of St. Marylebone, occupied the chair, and the following members of Parliament, and a number of representatives of vestries and district boards were present: Mr. H. Lewis, M.P., Mr. T. Hughes, M.P., Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P., Mr. W. Ayrton, M.P. After a very long discussion a committee was appointed to consider the mat= ter and report to a future meeting.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat, which met a heavy inquiry at previous rates to a slight decline. In the value of other kinds of pi l oduce very little change took place. The continental markets have been inactive. In Aerica rather a heavy fall has taken place in the value of pro duce. The imports of foreign and colonial produce into Lon don last week were 28,822 quarters of wheat, 7,224 barley, 36,561 oats, 2,150 beans, 609 peas, 790 tares, 1,533 linseed, 60,037 rapeseed, 7,322 maize, 301 sundries, and 2,761 sacks of flour. Fresh up, to-day, tho arrivals of English wheat, coast wise and by railway, were v,ry moderate. The show of samples was, therefore, limited. Both red and white qualities moved off slowly, at prices about equal to Mon day last. We were somewhat extenSiV4 supplied with foreign wheat. Even the finest samples met a dull enquiry ; nevertheless, late rates were fairly supported. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow sale. • There was scarcely any English barley on offer ; but the supply of foreign was rather on the increase. On the whole, the trade was firm at full quotations. Malt met a slow inquiry, but no actual decline took place in prices. The supply was tolerably gond. The oat trade was steady at an advance in the quota tions of Gd per quarter. Beans were very firm in price, bat the sale for them was by no moans active. Peas were held at extreme rates, owing to their scarcity. The flour trade was very quiet, at late rates. Seeds and cakes were inactive. In prices, however, very little change took place. 1 1 1 111 RI) E SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocE, 24 27 28 30 1:.9 3) 6 '2 18 lit 8 ,2 116 .16i ?I tl 48 19 26 128 - - 110 11: i 85 90 111 / 5 ES 85 34 3t3 4 18 1(3 Ir.`4 SO CS 415 :•7 38 44 7 i B ip 112 Ila 68 7u 112 115 55 67 17 40 67 48 160 - 154 21 31 ISIO NS. 67 60 100 102 ip 1 46 76 83 60 55 10L 103 101 IG3 108 10J 20 22 85 88 67 59 53 64 52 54 37 (0 23 25 108 IG9 3 / 4 1 i 1 e 100 102 91 93 12k 13A 12 12 , , F 8 A 2 81 S 4 If lid 100 102 92 1,4 65 90 82 85 97 92 97 98 1 i. l 97 98 CURRENCY PER IMP.

Thoro was about an average supply of foroign stock on offer in our market to-day, in fair average condition. The show of English beasts was rather limited ; never theless, sales progressed slowly, at prices about equitl to Monday last. A fow very superior Scots and crosses sold at ss. 2d., but the general top figure was ss. per 81bs. The quality of the stock was prime. Th• arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to about 1,300 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 500 various breeds ; from Scotland, 239 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 20 oxen. The supply of sheep was tolerably extensive, though not equal to last week. Nearly all breeds moved off slowly ; nevertheless, previous rates were barely sup ported. The best Downs and half-bieds changed hands at from 4s. 10d. to ss. 2d. per 81bs. The condition of the English sheep was good. Lambs wore in good supply, and sluggish request, on lower terms. The quotations ranged from Gs. 4d. to 7s. 4d. per 81bs. The sale for calves was heavy, at 4d. per 81bs. less money. The highest price was ss. 4d. per Blbs.

SPORTING NOTES. The Royal Ascot Meeting commences to-morrow, and will bo graced by the presence of the Prince of Wales. The Ascot Stakes acceptances have left in a field of twenty-two horses to contest for it, of which 1 like the chances of Dalesman, Blinkhoolio, and Zenobia. Lucifer is by no means badly in, but I think his journey will be later on in the season, as report says ho is not very for ward in his preparation. Such excellent accounts, however, reach me respecting Baron Rothschild's horse, that I sha l l stand DALESMAN, BLINKHOOLLE, and ZENOBIA. The Prince of Wales's Stakes is one of the richest prizes of the meeting—worth nearly £l,OOO. I suppose we shall see at the post Vauban, Marksman, Achievement, Van Amburgh, and 0 wa.in Glyndwr amongst others, but nothing in the field, besides appears likely to interfere with the result. The four first-named horses carry penalties, and my choice of these is MARKS MAN, and should he be boat, I think it will be by ()WAIN GurinwYn, who is allowed 71b, and although not per severed with in the Derby ran sixth. The penalties and allowances for the Gold Vase make it very like a handi cap, but though MOULSEY carries 9st 31b, still I have very little doubt of his success, and the only one likely to give him any trouble being MAIL TRAIN, who I hear is to be heard of successfully some time during the mooting. The Queen's Stand Plate has some clinkers amongst the eighteen animals engaged, but my opinion is in favour of CECROES and OSTREGER, notwithstanding their having to carry 9st 121 b and 9st 111 b respectively. I can see nothing likely to compete successfully with SUFFOLK for the Tenth Ascot Biennial Stakes. If SAVERNAKE should be brought out for the Thirteenth Ascot Triennial Stakes it is a cer tainty for him, and in his absence I prefer SEALSKIN. As usual on Wednesday the Royal Hunt Cup is sure to furnish a large field of horse; the best in of which aro Mail Train, Union Jack, Life Guardsman, and Baron Rothschild ' s lot. And of this 13t, having a lively recollec tion of the form Mr. Ten Broeck's horse displayed in this race two years ago, when carrying Bst 121 b he ran third to Gratitude, I feel bound to recommend nothing but Mims JACK, if in anything like his four year-old form. In the absence of Hermit I fancy Star of India ought to win the Ascot Derby Stakes; and, presuming Mr. Chaplin's horse is sent for the Ninth Ascot Biennial Stakes, having no penalty to carry, he cannot very well be beat. Tho Fifteenth Triennial Stakes will most likely recompense Baron Rothschild for the Wood cote Stakes, which, I believe, with a fair start, ho would have won ; anyhow I shall go for RESTITUTION this jour ney, though I hear The Parson is a good horse. LADY ELIZABETH will certainly win the Fernbill Stakes if she runs. On Thursday, of course, Tux HERMIT will win the St. James's Palace Stakes. I fancy THE PARSON in the Fifth Now Biennial Stakes, and MARKSMAN (should ho run) for Tho Fourth New Biennial Stakes. 1 also think, LADY ELIZABETH is good enough to give 51b. and a beating to her field in Tho New Stakes. It is difficult to say what will put in an appearance for The Gold Cup; but in case of MARKSMAN doing so, ho must be my champion. For the Alexandra Plate, which takes place on Friday, my recommendation iSLOTHARIO ; and ACHIEVEMENT over her favourite distance of ground, ono mile, should win The Ascot Triennial Stakes. A FRESH. MAN. A'. CO i RACE 3. (I}om our ,Ypecial Sporting Reporter.) ASCOT, Monday. There is a most flattering prorpect of a loviathan meeting on the regal heath to-morrow and during the three succeeding days, as a more than usually large amount of stabling has been secured, and ad ditional house accommodation for visitors cannot now be obtained for love or lucre. At the close of last week the course was so hard in places, parti culary on the new ground, that fears were at ono time entertained some of the cracks would be prevented thereby fulfilling their engagements, but there was a timely fall of rain early this morning, and as it continued for some hours. the weather has been materially benefited through it, and the " going " cannot fail to be beautiful to-morrow. Though the acceptances for the Ascot Stakes are not so numerous as could be wished,. the plates filleitl so well on Saturday evening that they formed a gool "set off " against the disappointment; and now that an im provement has been effected by the elements in the running ground, we are certain to have all the popular two and three-year-old " stars " imprint ing their hoofs on the royal turf, and a tremen dous field for the Hunt Cup struggle. The Prince of Wales will be present each day, and all that is wanting now to secure a bril liant eclat to the gathering is fine weather. The arivals to the present time are exceedingly few, but upwards of 100 horses arc expected here in the course of to-day and to-morrow, including the Hermit, Marksman, Vauban, Achievement, Lord Lyon, Savernake, Moulsey, Ostreger, Regalia, llama, &e. This morning there were some gallops ' of interest, as not only was CJcrons ping beauti fully, but Van Ainburgh and llippia were in active exorcise, an•i B iron Roth child's splendid two-yr olds—Suffolk, Restitution, King Alfre 1, Nyanza, and North Marston—also showed. Touratalin was set by Ilayhoe to give the whole team two nice can ters, after which the filly took Dalestuan, Jasper, and Hippia a splendid mile and threequartersgallop, the juveniles galloping a little over a mile. Dalcsmau moved in such form that he ought to be supported for the Ascot Stakes, well as Zenobia is in, and despite that £l,OOO arrears of forfeit have specially been paid up for the mare for this journey. Hippia bowlel along in rare style, and Jasper struck us as being wonderfully improved. Van Amburgb, too, who went nearly a couple of miles, looked more himself than he did on the Derby day, but we were more taken with his companion Cecrops, who struck us as going in his old form, indicative of danger to all who oppose him in the Queen's Stani Plate. Ajax and Nancy were doing a fair amount of work. To-morrow we shall give full details of the interim gallops, which special reports will be continued in Wednesday's and Thursday's editions.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PETITION. Lord DERBY said that he had a petition to preset?t, which was rather ambiguous, and he doubted whether it could be placed before their lordships' house. It was irregularly signed, and had a piece of paper pasted over it. It purported to be signed by the minister of a Baptist Chapel, in Arthur-street, Battersea. THE KNIGHTSBRIDGE BARRACKS. Lord REDESDALE said, in asking a question relative to the removal of the Knightsbridge Barracks, he had read in the papers that they were to be pulled down, and the quartering of the troops taken elsewhere, but he should like to mention that he considered that they were the best situated in the metropolis, and quite central, if any outbreak should occur. The re moval of these barracks was principally asked for by per sons who had property in the 'district, they considering that barracks were most objectionable, inasmuch as they were an obstruction. From what he could hear from the persons who had lived in that barracks they were admirably suited to purposes they were now devoted to, and he considered that it would be most unfair to remove those barracks. The wish for such a removal only ema nated from thoso who had property in the neighbour hood. The Earl of LUCAN said that he was glad of having the opportunity of expressing his opiaton that these bar racks at Knight ibridgo were the most admirably adapted for cavalry barracks in the kingdom. He had long known these barracks, and he could safely say that he had never known any occasion when there was a general sick ness there. He would ask the Noble Earl opposite who so condemned these barracks if the Chelsea bar racks—an infantry barracks—had cost the country £200,000. He could not believe that it was intended to pull down those buildings, and put the country to an expense of £35,000. He believed that the Knights bridge barrcaks was as healthy a barracks as possible, although he admitted that every one of them might be improved. There was no utility or purpose of order in removing these barrack. Any other houses that might be put there would be quite as objectionable. Lord LONGFORD said that there was no intention to remove the barracks at all. He had seen the memorial alluded to by the noble earl, and he thought he had dis posed of the objection that it contained. The fact was that the barracks were to bo removed only if no expense was incurred, and a more convenient site could be found, but as this was not possible the matter must fall to the ground. Lord DE ROS quite concurred in what had been said with respect to the barracks. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE was not aware that his noble friend (the Earl de Grey and Ripony,:had ever said that the barracks were in a bad state at all, but think it interfered with the prospect in the park. He had been over the barrack, and found it a good and effi cient enough, but the objection was that it was an inartistic portion of the park, and it was no donbt very desirable that some improvements should be made with regard to it, and he believed that it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to .ziako the best improvements they could there. He agreed with the noble earl that it was one of the most healthy barracks in Lon don, and that it would be a great disadvantage to re move it. He did not quite agree with him that sanitary improvements were not necessary. Earl DE GREY and RIPON said that he must deny that ho ever said what was imputed to him by the noble earl (Luc an) relative to their being the very worst bar racks in Loudon, but he must say that their sanitary arrange ments were very faulty, and the removal was thought advisable by Sir G. Lewis and himself. Whether they were removed or not, ho hoped that they would be put into a thorough sanitary state. The subject then dropped. THE DUNHILL BURIAL GROUNDS BILL. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY moved the second read ing of the bill. lie said that the people of all denomina tions in that district had made over to the Ecclesiastical Commissioners the Bunhill Burial Grounds, on the con dition that it should remain an open space, and that .11 all the monuments should be preserved. ) thought , that it was most important, cons id e ring the influential bodies who desired that it should remain f:rnhopen bodies of space, that this bill should be allowed to pass. some e o s rest s t h o e h u m B o most n e y n a i n i n n anti fi n e g rn y ther e e, amongst The bill was read a second time. Eli e s i o e o n k e 1 .3 [LEFT SITTING. I HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING. The SPEAKEK took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Drayton Junction Railway, Dublin Port, Great North of Scotland Railway, I.lnyton and Roby Gas, and Nortli British Railway (Carlisle Deviation OA .) TIIE SHIP NTII. _ _ Mr. KNATCIIBULL-HUGESSEN asked the Vice- President of the Board of Trade whether the report of the commissioner appointed to inquire into the case of the ship North had yet been received by the Board of Trade; and, if :so, whether he would communicate such report to the house ? Mr. CAVE said the report had not yet been received. RITUALISM. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the Secretary of State for the Homo Department whether since the appointment of names which aro avowedly identified with the encourage ment of ritualistic practices upon the commission to in quire into the conduct of Church services would tend to discredit the moral force of its decisions iu the mind of the publie, it would not be desirable, in order to secure the grea.est possible confidence in the constitution of that commission, to communicate the names intended to com pos 3 it to Parliament previous to their final appoint ment ? Mr. HARDY said he did not think it would be for the good of the public service that the names should be pub lished before the comtnissioners were appointed. TIIE ARMY ESTIMATES. Sir J. PAKII4GTEOI4 said ho should move the regular army estimates on Thursday next, and that he should take votes 12, 13, and 14 first, as it Ivas important that these votes should be settled as early as possible. FLOGGING CADETS. In reply to Mr. Bess, Mr. CORBY said there had been no revival of corporal punishment on board the fi:►g-ship Britannia, but the punishment of birching was still in force. ENGLAND AND PORTUGAL. _ Mr. AKIZOYD asked the S,Tretary of State for Foreign Affairs if the negotiation of a treaty of commerce with the Portugu se Government was still pending ; and if he had received any further communication from that Government since the lith March, when ho replied to a similar ques tion ; if he hid any objection to lay upon the table the cor respondencl upon the a u bj ec t, and the corold'ons insisted upon by the Portuguese Government, which, according to the statement of the noble lord, would amount to the total abolition of the alcoholic Lost as applied to wines; and whether he was aware that a treaty of commerce bad recen t l y Lam concluded between the Portuguese and French Governments, admitting French goods on more favourable terms than heretofore, and thus to the compoti live disadvantage of the British manufac turer? Lord STANLEY said that negotiations leading to a treaty of commerce between this country and Portugal were still pending. He had on a former occasion stated that the negotiations had fallen throug h, but they had been renewed at the request of Portug.ll. Ile was a. ago that a treaty of commerce had been conclu ded between France and Portugal, and it had been clone in return for certain special concessions to Poi tugal from Franco. TILE EMPEKOit MAXIMILIAN. In reply to an HON. MEmerat, Lord STANLEY said he had received no official infor mation on the subject; iu Let, all he knew was from that what -bad appeared in the newspapers.. Owing to the state of the country be presumed that the despatches directed to the Foreign-offiee had either been intercepted, or that owing to a danger of their arriving safe at their destination they had not been forwarded. THE ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ACT. Mr. NEWDEGATE asked the right hon. gentleman the Chancellor of the Exchequer to use his influence with the hon. lumber for Ibeth to withdraw his motion for the appointment of a committee to consider the advisability cf repealing the Ecclesiastical Titles Act. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he had no influence over the hon. member for Meath. It had been intimated to him that it would be of importance that a member of the Government should serve on the com mittee, and his bon. friend the member for Cambridge University, with the Judge Advocate, had been placed on the committee. He could not think of asking the hon. member for Meath to withdraw a motion which he thought was for the public advantage, and to which the Government had given its assent. THE WAR IN CRETE. Mr. GREGORY asked whether it was true that the Government of England had joined with the other European powers in a joint note to Turkey to endeavour to bring the devastatinr , war in Crete to it cloy;. Lord STANIEY said he had not taken any part in such a prticeeding. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. The hells° then went into committee on this bill. Sergeant GASELEE said, as the house had accepted one portion of his plan— (1 aid laughter)—he would now proceed to lay the other part, or, he should say, the. coin meneement of his proposition, before the committee. Owing to the anxiety of the hon. member. who introduced his proposal to. the cotrunittee, he had now only the duty of introducing the remainder of it. for consideration. (Hear, hear, fuel laughter.) In doing that he should have to place the c.art before the horse, but that was by nu fault of his owl,. (Laughter.) fie therefore sieved that after Mr. Laing's amendment to all the following words—viz.: "And every borough which had a less population than five thousand at thii said census snail cease to return nay member to serve in Parliament." It was quite time, in his opinion, that the great an nu fly that had so long existed, that 10 boroughs, with a population of 39,704 and only 2,700 electors, should be precluded from sending no less than fifteen mem bers to Parliament. The honourable and learned member then read the names of the boroughs, in many of which the number of registered electors did not exceed 200, said he had not performed his disgraceful, he should say his disagreeable, task—(laughter)--and if the Chancellor of Exchequer adopted his motion would leave ten more seats at his disposal. If he did, ho would be able to satisfy Chelsea and Kensington, neither of which were satisfied with the proposal of the Government. lie could also in some degree satisfy Accrington, Doncaster, Harrogate, Keighley, Bingley, Gosport, Leeds, Liverpool, Merthyr, Salford, Birkenhead, Paddington, Birmingham, Bristol, Finsbury,' Manchester, Marylebone, Sheffield and South wark, many of which have as much right to division into two parts or en additional member as Glasgow and the Tower Hamlets. Mr. J. GOLDSMID said he hoped the house would pause before they adopted the motion of the honour rable and learned member, because it was, in effect, converting the country into electoral districts. lle thought it unwise to do away with the small boroughs, because it was well known that some of the greatest men who had ever sat in that house had been re turned to Parliament by such boroughs as the hon. and learned gentleman sought to abolish. With respect to Paddington not being represented, he had to tell the hon. and learned member that that place was in Marylebone, and that Kensington and Chelsea would be, in consequence of the lowering of the franchise, represented in Middlesex for the future. Mr. SCIIREIBER moved an amendment to that moved by the hon. and learned member for Portsmouth, the effect of which would be to spare the five boroughs with 500 population, but the remaining five, ho was afraid, must be left to their inevitable fate. Sir L. PALK said he did not think it would be advisable to abolish all small boroughs. Arundel returned the only English Roman Catholic, and he did not think that that large body should be grudged a single repre sentative. With respect to Ashburton, Lord Lyndhurst first obtained his seat in Parliament for that place. Mr. CARDWELL said he should support the proposal of the hon. member for Portsmouth in preference to the amendment that had been made to it. (Hear, hear.) If they wanted to keep up the agitation for electoral districts they would reject the ;amendment: of ' the hen., member for Portsmouth, but if they wished to keep the agitation down they would adopt it. (LEFT SITTING.) THE READERS OF TUPPER. Is it a hoax? or what Joe of " Great Expecta tions" would call " Such larks ! Pip, old chap," that under this heading should have appeared the fol lowing communication in Saturday's Athenaeum : " I am requested by the members of the Tupperian Club to send to you, in their name, an indignant protest against the shameful article which disgraced your paper of Saturday. In this article you, in a very offensive manner, ask, "Doesanybody ever find a copy of Tupper lying about a drawing-room ? If so, in what kind of house ? In reply to the first question, I thunder forth No The works of our Poet are too much valued to be "lying about" in any such careless fashion. Thank Heaven, we appreciate them too truly to treat them with such irreverence ! I can assure you, however, that in the studies of more than a hundred of our members you will find the works of our Master in proud proximity to the pure an peerless Pollok, side by side with the mighty and nrlguifieent Montgomery. You may ask, What sort of house 3 have the mem bers of this Tupperian Club ? We admit that many of us are poor, but we all claim to be cultivated gentlemen, and feel that our lives are lifted by our noble patron, and that he helps us to see the won drous beauty of this universe, and makes the hum blest of us feel that, in his own noble words, — The good that it pleases our God to bestow We gratefully gather and prize. The evil. It can be no evil I know, But only great good in disguise.—Tupper. As to the portraits to which you so insolently refer, I wish I could send the likenesses of our whole club. This I cannot do. Ido send our President and his wife. I trust when you look on his intellectual and noble countenance, and on her lovely visage, you will feel ashamed at what you have said, and at once retract the implied disparagement. We feel sure that this protest is all but needless, and that the motives which prompted your vile article are far too apparent to be mistaken even by the most simple reader. You are evidently misled by preju dice, blinded by envy, and reckless of the utter infamy of your attack. We beg to inform you that he who cannot erect a hovel can destroy a temple. Do not think that in thus writing we aro at all fearful for the good name of our great one. We know that when his honoured life is over it will be said with truth of him — That nought but heaven shall cover his high famo, And standing around his grave in worshipful adoration, thousands who now contemn him, will then confess — That kings for such a tomb might wish to die. The deathless lesson his noble life has given will for centuries gladden the days of thousands, and help to make their nights beautiful. When the miserable scribblers of the Atherixtun and Saturday Review and all they have done is utterly forgotten, the name of Martin Farquhar Tupper shall brightly blaze in the heaven of fame with grandly growing splendour. Trusting you will, in justice to our great one, give this a place in your next issue,— I am, your obedient servant, JAMES WurrE, Secretary of the Tupperian Club. Gloucester, May 29, 1867.
