IBIPERIAL PAR L I AIkIENT HOUSE OF LORDS-LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. The Earl of DERBY stated that as there was nothing in the paper for to-morrow, he should move that tho House adjourn at its rising till Monday next. THE CRETAN INSURRECTION. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE asked for copies of papers relative to the Cretan insurrection. ' The Earl of DERBY said that there were papers being prepared concerning the Cretan insurrection, and that those papers would be placod beforo their lordships previous to the adjournment for the Christmas holidays. COUNTRY WORKHOUSES. The Earl of DEVON moved for letters relative to pro vincial workhouses, two especially, one addressed to Dr. Edward Smith, and dated 16th August, 1866, and another, the report of that gentleman relative to the inspection of 48 workhouses, and dated 15th April, 1867. Ho was in duced to apply for two reasons ; one was that it would be highly beneficial to the public that these letters should be produced ; and, secondly, he wished that their lordships and the public should have given them the opportunity of knowing the duties of the different persons engaged in workhouses. The importance of such a knowledge would be appreciated when it was taken into con sideration, that there were 663 unions in England and Vales. The noble earl then eulogised the conduct of the Inspectors of the Poor Law Board, and fur ther said that for the proper supervision of the internal arrangement of workhouses, there was a visiting com mittee, the members of which ought to visit each work house once in a month ; and in addition there was a district inspector, who ought to visit each workhouse once in six months. But ho was sorry to say that the visiting committee did not carefully carry out their duties; and, though the Poor Law Board had showed always their willingness to co-operate with the guardians of work houses, still there were some other guardians over whom they ought to have further power. At present the Poor Law Board had no power to order any furniture or to employ medical aid. The Poor Law Board occupied an uncertain position. This being the want of power of the Poor Law Board, he was anxious to call attention to what that board had lately done. There was ono point ho wished particularly to allude to, that was nursing. In 1856 and 1857 this system had been particularly impressed upon the Inspector of Infirmaries. The Archbishop of YORK thought that the failure of the system was in some measure attributable to the fact that our workhouses are hospitals without being con ducted upon the known principles of hospital manage ment. The Earl of CARNARVON believed the system was full of defects, and that Parliament would willingly con sent to enlarge the powers of the Poor-law Board. Lord HOUGRTON urged that in any new legislation the interests of the ratepayers should not be lost sight of. The house adjourned at a quarter -past 6 o'clock until Monday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. Tho SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. THE METROPOLITAN STREETS REGULATION AC•T. Ahrerman LAWRENCE presented a petition from C 59 cab proprietors praying for a repeal of the 17 section of the Metropolitan Street Ii •gulation Act, and that means might be take❑ to reduce the present eKcessiva duties now levied on hackney carriages. CHURCH RATES. Mr. HUBBARD gave notice that on Tuesday next he should move for leave to introduce a bill on the regulation of Church-rates. THE MERMAID. Mr. lIEADLAM asked the Secretary of State for Fo reign Affairs whether there had been any further corres pondence concerning the destruction of the Mermaid, and whether the Spanish Government proposed to give any compensation to the owners of that vessel. Lord STANLEY said some fuller correspondence had taken place with the Spanish Government, and a sugges tion he had made to refer the matter to arbitration had been accepted. GREECE. Mr. B. COCHRANE asked the Secretary of State fcr Foreign Affairs whether his attention had been drawn to a letter in the Times of 21st September, in which it was stated that in 1862 Mr. Elliot was instructed, to inform the Greek Government that England would see with plea cute the annexation of Epirus and Thessaly to Greece, as an earnest of peace and tranquillity in the East ; whether there wore any papers in the Foreign-office to prove the ac curacy of that statement; and ? if ao,whether tha noble lord will lay them upon the table. Lord STANLEY said he had seen the Litter referral to. He cauld only say that the diplomatist refbrred to had only spoken his own opinions, and when the last Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs (Earl Russell) becain3 award of the objection of the Turkish Government to such an arrangement, nothing further had been done iu the matter. PERTH BARRACKS. Mr. B. POrrEft asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was a fact that the use of gas as a moans of lighting had been discontinued at the Perth Barracks ; and, if so, whether ho had any objection to state the rea-• sons for tho change ; and whether ho was aware that in consequence of the diminution of light resulting from the change many men who previously spent their spare time in reading and other amusements inside the barracks aro now induced to frequent whisky shops and other similar places which abound in Perth. _ _ - Sir J. PAKINGTON said it was true that the barracks were not at present lighted with gas, and this circumstance arose from the circumstance that the gas companies had amalgamated, and a demand of 6s. 2d. per 1,000 feet had been demanded, whereas the Government had never paid more than 55.; they declined to pay the sum demanded. Iu this state off affairs every attempt had been made to render the recreation-room and the barracks as pleasant as possible. Mr. BRIGHT wished to know whether the large esta blishraents and manufactories did not pay the amount, and whether Government wished to obtain gas cheaper than other parties. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had not inquired into the practice of other parties; ho had not felt justified in pay ing the increased demand, made on the Government. PORTUGUESE WINES. Colonel BARTTELOT asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether a treaty of commerce had lately been concluded with the kingdom of Portugal, by which the wines of that country were to be admitted into Great Britain at a reduced duty ; if so, what was to be the rate of duty, and at what date the new dsty was levied. Lord STANLEY said no such treaty had been entered into. Much correspondence had taken place, but no final arrangement had been arrived at. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. The house having gone into a committee of Ways and Means, Mr. HUNT rose and said, in the absence of his right hon. friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, it devolved upon him, in consequence of the in disposition of his right hon. friend, to make a state ment to the house which he had hoped would have devolved upon other hands. He felt that he should stand in need of indulgence, and he hoped that his shortcomings in performing the task would be fairly viewed by the house. The house having agreed that a sum of £2,000,000 should be voted to" defray the expenses of the expedition to Abys sinia, it became the duty of the Government to state how they intended to provide for that additional expenditure. Ile might as well say at the outset that the Government did not propose to look beyond the resources of the year to meet the expenditure. (hear, hear.) The Government might have met the additional expenditure by way of loan, or the temporary expedient of borrowing, leaving it to the Committee of Ways and Means next year to meet the extra expendi ture. However, they had thought the most manly course was to look the matter fully in the face, and to endeavour to make the resources of the year 1867-8 meet the additional expenditure, which was not contemplated when the Chancellor of the Exchequer made his statement on the 4th of April. The calculations of tl.e right lion. gentleman had led him to anticipate a surplus, and that anticipation would be fultilltd. The surplus at the end of the year would amount to £200,003, and the whole of that, as far as it goes, would be devoted to that purpose, but they won? I require to provide for the remainder in other Without entering at great length into sta tistics he might say at once that the Government proposed to levy au additional penny on the income tax from the present financial year. The efT;2ct of that addition, coupled with surplus ‘voultl give £840,000, leaving £960,000 still to be provided for. In order to do this the Go vernment proposed to make the balances available, and although those balances only amounted to £5,000,000, yet it was thought best and wisest to take the required sum from that source. He had stated the proposals of the Government in the strongest and clearest ma nn er, an d he begged now to place in the hands of the Chairman the resolu tions to carry out the proposals he had mentioned. The CHAIRMAN having read the resolutions, Mr. GLADSTONE thought the choice of the Government with respect to additional taxation was a just one, and under the circumstances the income tax was the best resource they could have NI - a s had recourse to. With respect to the balances they had already been drawn upon, but that did not not preclude a further sum being taken from that source. It was proposed to take £960,000 from those balances now. A draught from the balances ought to be looked upon as equi valent to the creation of additional debt, but, as they had reduced the debt, what the Govern ment proposed now to do was to set the one against the other. (Hear, hear.) He did not think the Government could have done better ; they incurred no practical risk, and he thought that amongst the thinking part of the com munity the proposal to meet the difficulty in the way proposed by the Government would be viewed much more favourably than if they had decided to raise the money in a less direct manner. Sir G. BOWYER thought the proposed increase of the income tax highly objectionable, at the pre sent time more especially. Mr. LAING said the only question was how to meet the increased demand, and it appeared to him the Government had only to consider whether they should raise only half the amount by an addi tional ld. to the income tax, or whether they should have drawn the whole of the sum required from that tax by the addition of 2d. in the pound. He thought that if the war continued the addition of 2d. to the income tax was inevitable, and he for one should not object to such a proposal. Taking things as he found them, he did not find fault with the proposal of the Government, as he felt it was the most sensible way of stopping up the financial gap for the present. _ _ Mr. WHITE said he was sorry to disturb the harmony that at present existed, but when the pro posal was put from the chair he should give an emphatic " No" to the proposition. After a few words from Mr. HANKEY in approval of the policy of reducing the national debt when ever practicable, Lord STANLEY reminded the house that the two millions uow asked for had not yet been spent, and that there were many reasons to favour the hope that so large an expenditure might not be re quired. He hoped—as the case was exceptional, and the charge merely temporary—the house would agree to the resolution at once, although, if there was any want of unanimity, he would not press it. After some critical observations from Mr. DARBY GRIFFITH, in the course of which he predicted that a much larger expenditure than two millions would be required, the resolution was agreed to. In committee on East India troops and vessels (Abyssinian expedition), Sir S. NORTHCOTE moved a resolution to the effect that a military expedition having been directed to be despatched against Abyssinia, consisting mainly of troops, both European and native, at present maintained out of the Indian revenues, the ordinary pay of such troops, and the ordinary charges of any vessels belonging to the Indian Go vernment employed in the expedition, which would have been charged upon the revenues of India it such troops or vessels had remained in that country or the seas adjacent, should continue to be so charge able; provided that, if it shall become necessary to replace the troops or vessels so withdrawn by other European or native forces or vessels, the expense of raising, maintaining, and providing them should be provided by Parliament for the purposes of the ex pedition. After explaining the effect of the act of Parliament regulating the application of the reve nues and the employment of the forces of India, the right hon. baronet defended the conduct of the Government in throwing the cost of the expedition in the first instance upon the finances of India. He also argued that the people of India felt deeply that the honour of the empire was at stake, and that no injustice would be done to them in asking them to bear a moiety of the cost of vindicating it. Mr. FAWCETT spoke strongly against the in justice and impolicy of asking the unrepresented millions of India to contribute towards the cost of a military operation iu which they had no interest whatever. He expressed his intention to divide the house against the resolution. Sir 11. RAW LINSON could not see any injus tice in calling upon India to bear a moiety of the cost. In reality, however, the question was merely a departmental one, as it would not involve the ultimate expenditure of a single rupee of Indian revenue. Moreover, it should always be remem bered that England maintained in India a force i❑ excess of what was actually required, and that its employment in cases of emergency was perfectly legitimate. Referring to the expedition itself, Sir Henry pointed out the dangers and difficulties to which it might be exposed (involving, perhaps, an occupation for some years), and recommended pru dence and foresight, citing the disastrous retreat from Cabul as an ilustration of the perils to which an invading army in a distant and unknown country might be subjected. Mr. GL ADSTONE maintained that India would not be a shilling poorer for the expedition, as it always had a margin of disposable force applicable for emergencies. If the troops drawn from India were afterwards required in that country the Go vernment had pledged itself to restore them, so that no injustice would be done. The proposal before the house was in his opinion moderate, conformable with precedent, fair in principle, and agreeable with the equity of the case, and therefore he should sup port it. _ . Mr. LAING dwelt upon the value of prestige in the East, reminding the house that it was an im portant element of political security, and that so far as the Red Sea was concerned it was desirable to show that England had a long arm and could not be insulted with impunity. Mr. OSBORNE thought the English taxpayer bad a right to complain of this description of legisla tion, and that India ought to defray one-half of the expenditure. It seemed to him that the war had been got up by a clique of officers at Bombay for the purnose of keeping the Bombay army in wind. He hoped the House of Commons would set its face against going to war for the maintenance of prestige, and above all for keeping the Bombay army in wind. Lord CRANBORNE protested not against the war itself, which he regarded as just and necessary, but against one of the motives assigned—namely, the necessity of preserving our prestige in the East. That would be a wicked as well as an unnecessary motive, especially as.we were bound by every prin ciple of honour to rescue the captives from King Theodore. India ought not, he thought, to be con verted into a garrison for England, and he warned the house how it rashly diminished the force neces sary for the security of our possessions in Ilindostan. If, on the other hand, the force in India was in excess of its wants, it would be unfair to throw the burden of maintaining it on the revenues of India. Colonel SYKES, feeling that argument was un palatable to the house, contented himself with entering his protest against the resolution. The House then divided, when the numbers were— For the resolution l9B Against Majority 175 The resolution was then agreed to, and ordered to be reported to the House. The remainder of the sitting was occupied in dizeussion in committee on the Metropolitan Streets Act (1867) Amendment The House adjourned at a quarter to one.

THE SUN, LONDON, - FRIDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 29, 1867. RAILWAY AND OTHER COMPANIES. CALCUTTA AND SOUTH-EASTERN. The half -yeerly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the office, Gresham-street, Old Broad street; Mr. J. Borradaile in the a air. Mr. H. R. Ashworth, the secretary, having read the notice convening the meeting, the report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, sad it expressed regret that the traffic receipts again did not exceed the expenses of work ing, and that would probably be the case so long as the present indifference continued on the part of the local Government. The want of permanent stations and buildings at the termini of the railway, the backward state of the town of Canning, and the absence of sufficient shipping and residential accommodation at the port were the chief causes of unremunerative traffic. The loss of the company's jetty several months ago, and the dispute as to whose business it was to protect the foreshore of Canning had caused considerable delay, and im peded the development of the traffic. From the extension of the town of Canning it was found necessary to move the company's station back further from the shore on the Mutlah. This did not matter, as the station was only a temporary one. The Home Government had made some pro posals iu respect to the improvement of the town of Canning in February last, but the local Govern ment had not up to the present time, so far as he knew, made any reply. He thought, however, there could be no doubt as to the ultimate success of that port. The directors had done all they could in the matter, and in the middle of the present year they sent out to India proposals for the permanent sta tion plans, which were now before the local Government ; but he feared if the same indifference contiued they would lose another season. He was glad to say that the Home Government were anxious that the £GOO,OOO expended on the railway should be male productive. In ad dition to that sum .£130,000 had accumu lated against the undertaking for interest on capital. It was, therefore, important that something should be done, as large sums of money had also been expended by private individuals on the town and port of Canning. The Canning Com pany's jetties had been completed, and they were also endeavouring to connect their jetties by tram roads with the railway. He had great hopes that when the necessary works were completed the ship ping would become productive by means of the through traffic to Calcutta. Some of the vessels now delivered their cargoes at Koosh ter instead of at Port Canning, owing to the want of proper ac commodation. The vessels having been diverted from the port there was at present an cud to the trade. The local traffic on the line had greatly im proved, and also from station to station. They had been informed by a telegram that the late cyclone had swept away the company's temporary station at Port Canning. He regretted that the local Govern ment showed no anxiety as to making the outlay of capital ou the undertaking productive. At the spe cial meeting it was proposed to take the necessary steps to alter the articles of association so as to re duce the capital of the company from £1,000,000 to £250,000, by reducing the nominal amount of the 50,000 shares of £2O each to £5 each. The only creditors the company had were the debenture holders, and legal steps would be taken to satisfy them or pay them off ; so that, practically, there would be no difficulty in the matter. Mr. MITCHELL, a director, seconded the motion for the adoption of the report. In reply to questions it was stated that the pot sleepers answered admirably on their line, the com pany was amply provided with rolling stock ; that the Canning Company's rice mill was now in work ing order, and that the hotel at Canning was opened in August last, and was now full in operation. Mr. SCIILLLER explained that nearly the whole of the district over which the railway passed was covered with jangle prior to the railway being com menced. All the Government did was to cut down the trees and sell the laud, without making a single road. The Canning Company had raised £150,000, and expended it on Port Canning. The Govern men had lent them £45,000, which was being laid out in a most judicious manner to make the town habitable. They had also brought about 150,000 acres under cultivation as rice fields. They had erected six or seven screw-pile jetties, which were being couneced with the railway by tramways. Storehouses had been built, and a large rice mill which would turn gut 100,000 tons of rice annually. They had also a gridiron for repairing vessels, and a large dock for country boats was being con structed. lie thought there would be no hope of improvement until after they had a new Governor- General. Resolutions were passed adopting the repert and authorising the necessary alteration in the articles of association for reducing the share capital of the company from £1,000,000 to £250,000. A meeting to confirm the latter resolution would be held that day three weeks, and a vote of thanks to the chair man and directors concluded the proceedings. of a dividend and bonus as recommended by the Board having been carried nem. dis., a vote of thanks to the directors closed the proceedings. MADRAS IRRIGATION. The half-yearly meeting of this company was held yesterday at the offices, Queen-street-place, South wark-bridge ; Mr. Thomson in the chair. The report, an abstract of which appeared in The Sun, was taken as read. The CHAIRMAN, in moving its adoption, said that since the last meeting very little progress had been made, owing to the fact that the staff of the com pany was engaged in re-measuring the work already done, in order to satisfy the requirements of the Madras Government. The re-measurement was now nearly complete, and there would be no further impediment to the prosecution of the works. The works already executed were stated by the chief engineer as being in a satisfactory condition ; water had been admitted as far as the 221, mile in the Hendry division ; the state of the works on the other portions of the canal were fully described in the report. With respect to the Bellary section, ex tending from Wallavapoor to Kurnool, a distance of 180 miles, the collectors of the district, and other officials in the revenue department, had reported strongly in favour of the undertaking. The com pany was not in a position to undertake this work without a Government guarantee of the interest upon the capital required to complete it. Until the great question was settled as to whether the State or private enterprise should undertake these works everything would remain in doubt and uncertainty. If those works were left in the hands of private en terprise the guarantee of interest upon the capital expended would be the only financial liability upon the country, and as soon as the works came into full operation there was every reason to believe there would be no liability at all in respect of them. (Hear, hear.) The Hon. A. KINNAIRD, M.P., seconded the motion for the adoption of the report, which was agreed to unanimously. The retiring directors were re-elected, as was also Mr. J. Hall, the retiring auditor, and a vote of thanks to the chairman terminated the proceedings. IRELAND. DUBLIN, Nov. 28. The dispute between the Waterford and Limerick and Waterford and Kilkenny Railway Companies, which has caused so much inconvenience to the public, is destined to be fought out before her Ma jesty's Judges. An action in which £50,000 damages are claimed has, it is sail, been commenced against the former company for obstructing the trains of the latter. It is reported that Fenian pirties have been seen recntly to the number of 600 engaged in midnight drill near Donoughmore, and about the same num ber at Carrignavar, County Cork. The authorities have not relaxed their vigilance, and such proceed ings show the necessity of being still on the alert. The populace of Limerick are greatly dissatisfied with some of their leaders for not taking active measures to procure a commutation of the sentence upon the Nlanchester Fenians. While other places sent in memorials Limerick expressed no anxiety to save them, a significant fact, at which the sympa thisers with the executed men feel deeply mortified. The three prisoners, Hendrick, Hopper, and Keogh, who were charged some days since with the illegal possession of seven six-chambered and one five-chambered loaded revolvers, together with two unloaded pistols, and a quantity of ammunition in a publichouse, situate at No. 41, Coombe, were again brought up yesterday at the llead Police office. The police stated that documents had been found in their possession which it was not desirable to disclose at present, but which conveyed the im pression that they were members of a treasonable conspiracy. A further remand was granted. • A new paddle steamship was launeked yesterday from the building yard of Messrs. Walpole, Webb, and Bewhy, iu the North Wall. She was built for the City of Dublin Steam racket Company, and is the first of the class constructed at this port. She has been named the Mullingar, and is a very credit able specimen of Irish work. The Senate of the University of Dablin has been convened for Saturday, the 28th of DJecaf.mr, to elect a Chancellor in place of the late Lord 11,9sse. Three candidates have been nominated by the Board—the Earl of Rosse, Lord Mouck, and Lord Cairns. There is no doubt that the latter will be elected. very voluminous letter containing his observations, and Professor Leone Levi, whose services had been engaged by the Government in the matter, had fur nished a report, which was now in type. He heartily wished that before long they should see a satisfactory scheme carried out. The deputation then thanked his lordship and withdrew. CAPE. The traffic returns on this railway for the month of September amounted for 23,834 passengers to £1,827, and for 2,590 tons of goods £1,316 ; total £3,143 ; against £3,052 in the same month of last last year, showing an increase of £9l. CRYSTAL PALACE. The half-yearly meeting of this company is fixed for Wednesday, the 18th of December, and the directors have resolved to recommend to the pro prietors that a dividend be declared on the ordinary stock of the company for the 12 months ending the 31st of October at the rate of 1i per cent., is. Gd. per share. IMPERIAL CONTINENTAL GAS. The half-yearly general meeting of this company was held on Wednesday at the London Tavern ; Mr. B. Attwood in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. Jackson) read the report, from which it appeared that the business of the company during the past six months had continued to increase. The total gas made had been 1,608 million cubic feet, whereas in the corresponding period of 1866 it had been 1,493 million. The total number of lights in June last was 659,699 ; and in June, 1866, 644,134. Notwithstanding the reductions in the charge for gas which had been made at various stations, the Board recommended a continuance of the dividend of £2 10s. per share, together with a bonus of £1 per share. The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, congratulated the proprietors on their con tinued prosperity, in spite of the many difficulties with which the company had to contend. Mr. S. A. BECK, Governor of the Chartered Gas Company, complained that the company retained in hand upwards of a million of money, which re presented profits. Mr. WILMOT KNIGHT said the million of money to which Mr. Beck had referred, prima facie be longed to and should be distributed among the shareholders, thou, 4 li up to the present time it had been held to meet contingencies. Ile suggested, in order to reconcile all classes of shareholders, that the Board should promise a distribution of a portion of that sum at the annual general meeting by way of capitalising profits, and thus prove, as was the fact, that the dividend which the company was paying was an exce..dingly moderate one. Mr. MICHAEL was also of opinion that profits should be distributed. According to the accounts it would appear that £140,000 was made upon a tal of a million, whereas in truth the sum employed was twice that amount. The CHAIRMAN said the difficulties which the company had encountered at Marseilles, and those threatened at Toulouse, which might issue in what was tantamount to a total loss of the company's plant, were sufficient justification for the course which the directors pursued. lie could not•promise that at the annual general meeting, or at any other specific time, the Board would recommend a distri bution ; but the shareholders might rest assured that whenever the dividend could be increased it would be done. Resolutions adopting the report and the payment Assocla;ed Cliambers of Commerce. Yesterday morning the delegates of this ass3cia tion resumed and concluded their sittings at the 'Westminster Palace Hotel. ACCOMMODATION BILLS. Mr. LUPTON ( Leeds) moved—" That it is desirable that some means should be devised for imposing difficulties in the way of negotiating fraudulent accommodation bills, and that some regulations should be formed for the purpose of showing the true character of such bills to those receiving them, under pain of punishment to the drawers, acceptors, or issuers, in case of bankruptcy." Mr. BUTLER (Leeds) seconded the resolution, which, after some discussion, was referred to the standing committee. INTERNATIONAL GENERAL AVERAGE. On the motion of the delegate from Newcastle, it was resolved that the Board of Trade be again requested to give their attention to establishing a system of international general average. ADMIRALTY JURISDICTION BILL. The following resolution was agreed to :—" That the association feel it its duty to urge on her Ma jesty's Government the necessity of legislation as regards Admiralty jurisdiction and shipping matters, and would suggest that the bill of last session intro duced by Sir Stafford North - cote, the Attorney- General, and Mr. Cave, should be re-introduced at the earliest period of the approaching session ; and this association again expresses its decided opinion that the county court, as extended by the Act of 1867, is the best existing tribunal for the decision of local cases." BOARDS OF ARBITRATION. A resolution recommending the adoption of volun tary arbitration between employers and employe 1, introduced by the Nottingham Chamber of Com merce, was referred to the annual meeting of the association. TREATY OF COMMERCE WITH SPAIN AND PORTUGAL. The following resolution, brought forward by the representative of Halifax, was referred to the com mittee appointed to consider the subject of foreign tariffs :—" That a deputation be appointed to wait on the Board of Trade and the Foreign-office, urging the desirability of negotiating a treaty of commerce with one or other of those countries, based upon an adjustment of the present scale of duties on foreign wines, so as to admit Spanish or Portuguese wines at the same rate as French wines, and conditional on au assimilation of the tariffs im posed by those countries on British goods to the French d u ties." The, conference c.)ncluded its sittings at twelve o'clock, when a series of deputations were appointed to wait upon Government. One of these deputa tions accordingly waited on Lori Robert Montagu at the Privy Council-ollice, Downing-street, for the purpose of urging upon the 0-Jvernment the necec city of providing and fostering technical educ ition in this country. The deputation was accompanied by Mr. Baines, MP., Mr. W. E. Forster, M.P., Mr. Dixon, M.P., and other members of the House of Commons. Lord Ron - r. MONTAGU assured the deputatio❑ that no pains or trouble had been spared by the Government or himself in giving this question its due share of consideration. He bad stated in the House of Commons, in reply to a question from Mr. Forster, that the sending of a roving commission to inquire into technical education on the Continent would involve a great deal of expense and delay, and he had now to inform the deputation that the Government hal asked for reports on the subjects from their secretaries of legation, and that a precis of those documents would be given when they were ready to be submitted to the public. Mr. Samuelson, who had volunteered to go abroad and judge for himself, had sent in a Naval and Military IntellLence. The following notification was issued yesterday at the Admiralty :--" The Channel Squadron under the command of Rear-Admiral Frederick Warde, C. 8., consisting of the following ships—the Minotaur, Achilles, Warrior, Prince Consort, Bel lerophon, Pallas, and Helicon, may be expected at De.vonport on or before the 20th . prox. The Lord Clyde and Lord Warden have been ordered to Malta." The screw troopships Serapis, Capt. Soady, and Crocodile, Capt. Watson, are ordered to complete their repairs and refit at Portsmouth by the earliest possible date, and resume their relief troop service between that port and Alexandria. The Serapis is expected to sail from Portsmouth about the 4th proximo, and the Crocodile a few days afterwards. The armoured screw frigate Royal Oak, 35 guns, 800 horse-power, Capt. Hon. George D. Keane, ar rived at Spithead yesterday morning from the Tagus and Plymouth Sound, and, on anchoring, exchanged the usual salutes. The Royal Oak will go into Portsmouth harbour at high water to-day to dis mantle and pay out of commission. The screw troopship Simoom, Capt. Thos. Bridg man Lethbridge, was undocked at Portsmouth yes terday, after cleaning and recoating her hull below the water-line with " Hay's" composition, iu pro gress of her refit for further service. The Daum ; 6, screw corvette, 1,287 tons, 350 horse-power, Capt. Sir Malcolm M‘G-regor, was un docked yesterday at Portsmouth after the usual exa mination of hull and valves below the water line, on commission, and preparatory to her final trial of speed over the measured mile at load draught. The Cracker, 2, twin screw composite-built gun vessel, 464 tons, was launched from Portsmouth dockyard on 'Wednesday, in the presence of Admiral Sir Thomas S. Pasley, Rear-Admiral G. G. Wel lesley, C. 8., the chief officials of the yard, and a number of visitors. The vessel was named by Miss E. Murray, the youngest daughter of Mr. Andrew Murray, the engineer in chief of the dockyard and steam factory at Portsmouth. The Cracker was taken into the steam basin yesterday, and joined the flotilla of gunvessels now completing their outfit there for foreign service. These latter comprise the twin-screw Ringdove (of the Plover class), 3 guns, 666 tons, 160 horse-power ; the Avon (of the Cracker class), 2, twin screw, composit. built, 464 tons, 120-horse power, and tLe Pandora, 5, screw, 426 tons, 84-horse power. Her Majesty's composite 2, gunboat Dwarf, de signed by Mr. W. Ladd, master shipwright of Woolwich dockyard, was yesterday launched suc cessfully from her building slip. Col. Suther, Col. Second-Commandant of the Royal Marines, is appointed to succeed Col. Con nolly as Commandant of the Woolwich Division of Royal Marines. We understand that Col. Rodney, Assist.-Adjt.- Gen. of the Royal Marines, will succeed Col. Suther as Second-Commandant of the Woolwich division. An order was received at Chatham yesterday directing the following detail of officers and troops to be held in readiness for embarkation on Tuesday next, on board the iron screw troopship Orontes, for conveyance to Gibraltar and Malta—namely, one officer of the 2d battalion of the 15th Regi ment, and 18 non-commissioned officers and sappers of the Royal Engineers for Gibraltar ; four gunners of the 10th Brigade Royal Artillery, one officer and 79 non-commissioned officers and privates of the Ist battalion of the Bth Regiment, 50 non-commissioned officers and privates of the Ist battalion of the 14th Regiment, and one officer and 50 men of all ranks of the 31st Regiment for Malta. • By direction of the Duke of Cambridge• a silver medal and gratui!y of £5 each have been awarded to Pmivatcs William Bird and N% illiarn O'Brien, of the Ist Battalion 2d Queen's Royals at Chatham gar rison, for long service and exemplary conduct. Yesterday the sentence passed on Private Luke Carthy, Ist Battalion of the 14th Regiment, by the district court-martial before which he was re cently tried, was promulgated to the troops at Chatham. The prisoner is a man of most depraved character, and has been tried by various courts martial, no fewer than 12 times, in addition to which he has been flogged, and also branded with the letter D." The court-martial sentenced him to be dis missed from her Majesty's service with ignominy, to be branded with the letters " B. C.," and to be im prisoned and kept to hard labour for two years. COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL. A Court of Commo❑ Council was held yesterday, at which the Lord Mayor (Alderman Allen) pre sided. THE HURRICANE IN THE WEST INDIES. Upon the motion of Deputy TEGG, the Court unanimously agreed to a vote of £250 in aid of the Mansion House Fund for the relief of the sufferers by the late terrible hurricane in the West Indies. THE PROPOSED NEW MARKET FOR TIIE METROPOLIS. Mr. T. RUDKIN, the chairman of the Markets Committee, brought up a report having reference to the communications that had taken place between that committee and the Lords of Privy Council upon the subject of the bill proposed to be brought in by the Government for the erection of a new market in the metropolis, to be specially devoted to the slaughtering of foreign cattle, and thus prevent ing the spread of infection. He said that they had impressed upon the Privy Council the fact that the Corporation bad already agreed to expend £36,000 in the erection of slaughter-houses for foreign cattle at the Copenhagen-fields Cattle Market, and that they were ready, to make arrangements for com pletely separating the foreign from the English cattle ; and he believed that the Government had not yet fully made up their minds as to what course they intended to pursue in the matter. He, there fore, proposed that the committee should be em powered to continue their conferences with the Government upon the subject, and, if necessary, to co-operate with them in the matter. The com mittee, h. 3 said, would of course not adopt any course of action without the sanction of that Court. (Hear, hear.) Mr. H. L. TAYLOR said this question was one un doubtedly of very great importance, and he thought they ought. to pause before they agree to any resolution to co-operate with the Government in the formation of a new market, which was a proceeding that might be very prejudicial to the interests of the corporation. (Hear.) He was in a position, as one of their repre3entatives at the Metropolitan Board of Works, to inform them that the solicitor to that board had given a notice of application to Parlia ment upon the same subject, and that at the weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Bond on the following day a letter was to be read from Mr. Helps, the clerk to the Privy Council, informing the Board of the intention of the Government to introduce a bill for the formation of a new market in the metropolis, and that it was intended to be placed under the con trol of the Metropolitan Board of Works. (Cries of " hear, hear.") Mr. RUDION said that this was entirely new in formation to him. Mr. TAvi.ort proceeded to state that he did not think the Court would consider it advisable to co operate in the formation of a market which was to be under the contrJl of the Metropolitan Board of Works. It seemed to be rapidly coming to this, that everything was to be placed under the Metropolitan Board. (Hear, hear.) After some further discussion, a resolution was adopted to the effect thatin the event of the Govern ment introducing such a bill the Markets Committee should confer with it, and co-operate also, if neces sary, and report their, proceedings to the Court. THE SULTAN'S VISIT TO THE CITY. A letter was read from Mr. Lunacy, the artist, stating that he had painted a portrait of the Sultan, and offering it to the corporation as a memorial of his visit to the City. The letter was referred to the City Lands Com mittee. THE GAS QUESTION. Mr. E. D. ROGERS presented a petition from dele gates representing several parishes in the metropolis relative to the supply of gas. The object in view was to ask the corporation to contribute to a fund that was being raised to enable them to go to Parliament, and endeavour to break up the monopoly of the dif ferent gas companies by whom they were supplied. The petition was referred to the Special Gas Committee to consider and report. THE CORPORATION FINANCES. Mr. FRICKER then moved a resolution that, hav ing regard to the fact that at Christmas next the corporation would cease to enjoy a large revenue (£40,000 per annum), derivable from the Finsbury estate, by reason of the lapsing of the leases, it be referred to the Coal and Corn and Finance Com mittee to consider whether the expenses of the ad ministration of the law in the courts of justice and the cost of pauper lunatics should n .t be defrayed from some other source than the City's cash. The proposition was opposed by Mr. Lawley, Deputy Jones, Mr. R. N. Philipps, and other mem bers, upon the ground that it was an endeavour to support the introduction of a county rate by a side wind, and it was eventually negatived. THE CITY BURGLARIES. The petition of Mr. Johnson, watchmaker and jeweller, of Threadneedle-street, praying the court to grant him a portion of the money found in the possession of Caseley and the other burglars, whose case has been so frequently before the public, was, upon the motion of Mr. Cox, referred to the Law and Parliamentary Committee for consideration. THE METROPOLITAN MUNICIPAL BILL. Mr. J. RICHARDSON then brought forward a motion of which he had given notice, and which has already been published, to the effect that a letter written by Mr. Beal, the secretary of the Municipal Reform Association, to the editors of the different Loudon newspapers, stating that the Corporation of London were not opposed to the bills introduced by Mr. J. S. Mill into the House of Commons upon the subject, but that, on the contrary, they were inclined to support them, contained statements that were contrary to the fact, and that the Corporation of London had never given any authority for such statements being made. This motion gave rise to a long and angry dis cussion ; and i❑ the end Mr. Richardson withdrew the first portion of a resolution he had submitted, that letters should be sent by the Town Clerk to the editors of the different London newspapers, con tradicting the statement of Mr. Real, and the re mainder was unanimously agreed to. The court then aAjourned, after sitting for five hours and a half. SIR ROBERT PEEL, ALP., AT TAAIEVORTiI. At a dinner given to Mr. F. Ruffe, the Mayor o Tamworth, on Wednesday night, Sir ROBERT PEEL, in reply to the toast of the " Borough Members," delivered a speech, in the course of which, having referred with satisfaction to the part he took in assisting to pass the present Reform Bill, he touched upon the Abyssinian expedition, expressing his opinion that there was not a man in that room who would not approve the course of the Government in vindicating the honour of their country, which had been insulted by outrages to its representatives by a foreign Sovereign. (Hear, hear.) Still it was a deplorable expedition, and one that might go fur ther than any of them anticipated ; but he did not think, so far as his information went, that the Go vernment could have done otherwise than attempt the undertaking. He next went on to say that he was one of these who had no apprehensions of danger on account of the extension of the suffrage. (Hear, bear.) He had been all along in favour of a ratepaying franchise. He voted last year in favour of a rating franchise, which turned out the late Government, and brought in the Government of Lord Derby. He believed the ratepaying fran chise was one which ought to be supported, because the duties and privileges of citizenship went to gether. Now, there were a great many questions --awkward questions, too—which would have to be dealt with by Parliament in the ensuing session. There were the questions of the Established Church, ritualism, the Irish Church, the payment of un beneficed clergy, friendly and provident societies, trades unions, and railway legislation. The lat ter he held to be of primary importance. (Hear, hear.) Then, again, the Poor-laws must be re constructed. If such things as had lately been revealed at Farnham had taken place in Turkey, philanthropists in their own country would have mouthed over them for no end of time. (Hear, hear.) There was, too, and above all, the question of education. That would be a great question for the Church. In 1864, the Archbishop of Canterbury, in a primary charge, deplored the want of candi dates for holy orders in this country; and when he told them that for the last 30 years there has been an annual decrease in the number of candidates, whilst the population had been increasing to the extent of 240,000 a-year, he would ask them whether the matter was not alarming. It was evident that if great efforts were not made in the direction for increasing the number of candidates, the Church would lose that hold which she ought to have upon the people of the country. He would be sorry to see the Church of England narrowing her field of action. He was a staunch adherent to the old, simple forms of the Reformation. Still he respected as much as any one the influence which guided that great and powerful religion of which the Pope was the head. A great many of the difficulties of the past, it was true, were over. (Hear, hear.) They had equalised the revenue of the bishops, and why should they not do so with the revenues of the rest of the clergy ? (Hear, hear.) If the principle held gcod in the one case, it held good in the other. Speaking of the bishops, the hon. baronet took the opportunity of making a feeling allusion to the death of the Bishop of Lichfield, who was appointed to his office by his (Sir Robert's) father. Dr. Lons dale, he said, kept away as much as possible from the Ritualistic movement. He was not, like the Bishop of Salisbury, at open war with his clergy—(hear)— or like another Anglican bishop (Dr. Coleuso), who, with mallet and chisel, tried to force open the cathe dral of a brother bishop. Again, howevar much they might respect the feelings which animated those of other religions, did they want to see the clergy of the Protestant Church decked out in ritualistic vestments?—(no, no)—or surrounded by sur pliced choristers, as he understood they were to have in Tamworch Church ? But who said they were to have them ? He thought the question rested with the vestry. (Hear.) The hon. baronet next touched upon the Royal Commission appointed to inquire into the state of the Irish Church. He for some years, under the advice of Lord Palmerston, took a great interest—and he still took a great in terest in that question. But it was a most dangerous question to touch. The late Lord Palmerston fre quently told him that if they attempted to touch the revenue of the Established Church in Ireland they could not end there. There was no doubt much in Ireland that required consideration ; but he would be very sorry to see the day when they would do away with the Established Church in Ireland, be cause he believed it was part and parcel of the United Church of England and Ireland—that if they once began to touch it they might afterwards consi der it right to do away with all endowments. lle should be very sorry to see the day when it would be thought proper to disendow the Established Church of this country. He wt.uld pay to-morrow—he would vote to-morrow in Parliament (and he be lieved his constituents would support him therein) for paying—the Roman Catholic clergy in Ireland. He could not say how the question would be treated when it came, as it would have to come, before the Heuse of Commons. The hon. baronet, turning again to the suffrage, said it would be hazardous to predict what would be the effect of the measure just passed. In 1859, in his place in Parliament, he spoke in favour of such a measure. He followed the late Sir James Graham, one of the closest adhe rents of his father, and he spoke iu that year upon his advice and upon his counsel ; but he would tell thew now what he did expect—he expected that the Reform Bill would lead to an intolerant, not to a revolutionary movement, but to a great educational movement, which would make the great bulk 0 their fellow-countrymen better able than they had hitherto been to take that part which, by their in terests they were entitled to, in the working of the constitution of the country. (Hear.) He thought a strong popular element was not incompatible with a healthy political life. They could not expect but that certain prejudices which had hitherto existed amongst certain classes of people would continue to exist and agitate a section of the com munity ; but to his mind the great mass of the people were sound, true, and loyal to the institu tions of their country. (Cheers.) MEETLVG OF MIDDLESEX MAGISTRAIES. The usual meeting of magistrates of the county of Middlesex was held yesterday at the Sessions house, Clerkenwell-green, for the transaction of county business. Mr. Henry Pownall, chairman of the bench, presided, and there was a very full at tendance of magistrates. Mr. Nicholson, clerk of the peace, read the report of the committee of accounts and general purposes, which amongst other matters alluded to the inquest that was held by Dr. Lankester on the body of Elizabeth Stainsby, whose death, it was alleged, was caused by the im pure air of the Metropolitan Railway. It was stated that £lO had been charged by Dr. Lankester on account of Professor Rogers, of the London University Hospital, for examinations and attend ance on three occasions at the adjourned inquests held on Elizabeth Stainsby. Now the committee, having taken the opinion of counsel some years ago, had no power to allow any such sum not named in the schedule of fees set down by act of Parlia ment, and therefore they deducted from the charge, on behalf of Professor Rogers, the sum of £ 7 , leaving it £3 only, and asked the court to sanction that disallowance. He also mentioned incidentally that Dr. Lankester's accounts generally were higher when compared with those of Mr. Humphreys, and that the coroners' charges cost the cou nty annually a sum of not less than £12,000, which was a very serious item in the county expenditure. He moved that the sum of £lO, included in Dr. Lankester's account for the services of Professor Rogers, Professor of Toxicology at the London University Hospital, at the inquest held on the bodY of Elizabeth Stainsby, be not allowed. Th e motion was put and unanimously agreed to. Mr. Nicholson read the report from the committee appointed by the court on the 15th of Aitgust to consider the question of resuming the transportation of criminals. Th e committee report that it is most desirable that 1 0 all cases of criminals convicted of daring crimes accompanied by violence they should suffer a por tion of the penal servitude sentence here, and then if not disqualified, should be transported to Wes" tern Australia, or some other place, for the remain" der of their terms ; that transportation for long periods is most advisable in all cases of criminals convicted at quarter sessions or assizes of felonious offences who have been previously convicted two or more times ; that in all cases of criminals sentenced for brutal violence, particularly to women and chil dren and constables acting in the discharge of their duey, their sentence should be accompanied by on e , or more floggings; that the sy s t em o f ti c kets or leave be wholly abandoned ; that Western Australia is able and desirous to receive from 1,000 to 1,5 00 convicts annually, where convict labour can h e made productive, and where there is opportuni▪ ty afforded the convict of reform in character, which in the mother country is not the ease. The repor t will be taken into consideration on the next county day. On the motion of Mr. Glossop the sum of £1,500 was authorised to be expended in providi▪ ng at Feltham workshops and stores for the instructio n of boys as tailors, shoemakers, carpenters, smith s ' painters, and drummers. The other business wa s disposed of and the court adjourned. THE ERUPTION OF MOUNT VESUVIUS. The Naples correspondent of the Times, writing on the 21st, gives an account 3f the scene of the eruption, as witnessed on the previous night. r-r°, the crater itself," the vi s it or sa y s —" we could not reach, but as near to it as was safe. We sat Jowl' on a monticello of cinders and watched the scene' Vesuvius shook and trembled with the efforts it was making ; it panted and roared like sore° gigantic furnace; there was a sound rapid and re peated as of the discharge of a volley of musketry', and there rose to the heavens full 1,000 feet a gorgeous mass of lava, stones both great and small/ and fine ashes. We calculated the interval which elapsed before it fell at from five to ten secondol varying in duration according to the violence ° I the eruptions, which took place almost every second; The larger stones-- rocks they may be almost 01 10 —rolled at times down to the spot where 1 " (0 were seated, while the smaller ones were carried bi t the caprice of the wind in various directions. I° _, far from us, in the di r ection of Ott a j a no, roll ed down a stream of liquid lava from 40ft. to 50ft• sn width, and 10ft. or 12ft. in height. Like pebb les ou a shingly beach agitated by a storm was the noise it made in its progress ; the scoria; on the aor face fell continually over, and thus ever diminishi n g; yet ever increasing in proportions, the st r eam roll eu on and reached the botcom of the mountain. Th ere , were, however, last night many streams, present i % the appearance of an inverted hand, so that t l3 mountain on this side seemed all ablaze. As I p r ; dieted, too, at the beginning of the week, the 13 1r I e is now coming down towards the Hermitage. can mark its red and sinuous course even fr' t Naples ; and there is a promise of greater splend ° than any we have yet witnessed. We can hear, t ont the thunders of Nature's artillery, while each di S ' charge is followed by a display which it is useless ° attempt to describe. Different, yet s c a rcely l ess grand, are the day effects. Volumes and voltig 3e of dark smoke are sh o t u p p er p en di cu l ar ly into t l3 O O air, and then, falling, and circling and rolling ° o over the other, file off like heavy battalions towa rd o Capri. The colu mn o f smo k e i s pe r c e ptible to W it eye all across the bay, lingering horizontally unt il derives a fresh impulse from each successive el; tion. For eight days this brilliant spectacle bla been exhibited, with ever-increasing grandeur , a to u e the probabilities are that it will continue some t l i.so longer. Within 24 hours the temperature uto changed from a degree of heat inducing lassictid e o , a piercing cold. Every one is muffled closelY 01 but the bright sun above us will soon warm up atmosphere."
