The first row, says the London Review, which is sunk below the level of the floor, is divided into 15 boxes, which are allotted to the different London newspapers. Of these the limes has three ; most of the other morning papers have two, and the Globe and Sun have one each. Each of these seats has a broad desk and a separate inkstand. There are also four other seats in some respects similar, but far less convenient for reporting, as they are raised above the level of the gallery, and their occu pants face the side galleries instead of the body of the house. These 19 seats are, in point of fact, all in which writing can be done with comfort ; and the occupants of which can see and hear well enough to report with fulness and accuracy. The back seat of the gallery is not divided into boxes, and will pro bably accommodate about 25 or 30 persons. . A narrow ledge, scantily furnished with inkstands, runs in front of it, and it is certainly possible for those who occupy it to take a general note of the substance of .a debate. But writing is a matter of extreme discomfort; and there is this further dis advantage that, although the leading members on the Treasury and front Opposition benches may be heard, they cannot be seen. It will, therefore, be seen that the gallery cannot accommodate, however imperfectly, more than about fifty persons ; and this was sufficient at the time it was constructed. At that period there were fewer morning newspapers than there are at present. None bat reporters were admitted ; it was enough to provide a front seat for each reporter and summary writers actually on duty, and to accommodate in the back row those who were waiting to take their " turns." This back row was, in fact, originally regarded merely as a place in which a man could hold himself in readiness for his work, and could sit for a short time before " going on," in order to gather the thread of the debate. Of late years, however, a number of weekly newspapers have obtained admission to the gallery for gentlemen who write summaries of the Thursday and Friday evenings' proceedings ; and it has become the custom for the morning news papers to send down " leader writers" to hear the debates, so that they may be able to write upon them without waiting for proofs of the reports ; and the taste for descriptive sketches of the pro ceedings in Parliament, or of prominent members, has further increased the demand for accommoda- tion for those who supply these kind of articles. The result is, that on any evening of unusual interest the gallery is most inconveniently crowded, not so much by reporters as by journalists in general. Instead of being merely a " reporters'" gallery, it has been converted into a gallery, for the London press in general, and, as might have been expected, it is totally inadequate to this; and work is now too frequently carried on in it under circumstances of great difficulty and embarrassment. Even if it were desirable, it is impracticable, to go back to the old system, and to exclude every one but the re porters for the morning and evening journals. The hour at which newspapers of large circulation are compelled to go to press renders it absolutely neces sary that their articles should be in type as early as possible; and, moreover, there is an unquestion able advantage to a writer in hearing instead of merely reading a debate. It is, therefore, highly desirable that measures should, if possible, be taken to increase the accommodation. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This Day.) The Market opens with a rather better feeling. Sales 8,000 bales. CABINET COuNClL.—Summonses were issued yesterday for a Cabinet Council this afternoon, at the First Lord of the Treasury's official residence in Downing street. Da. LIVINGSTONE.—Commodore Hillyar, in a letter dated at Bombay, the Ist inst., addressed to the Ad miralty, states that one of her Majesty's ships proceeded on the 2d of Jan. to Quiloa, with Dr. Seward, her Ma jesty's acting political agent and consul at Zanzibar, to en deavour to ascertain the truth of the report that Dr. Livingstone had been murdered by a Zulu tribe near Lake .N y assa. FTI T " _LAU L EGISLATORS.—The average height of members of the United States senate is 5 foot 101 inches; 14 are over 6 feet. Mr. Cowan is the tallest : ho is 6 feet 31 inches in height; and Garrett Davis is the shortest, he being 5 feet 51 inches only. Mr. Sumner is 6 feet 31 inches and Mr. Wilson 5 feet 10 inches. The average circum ference of the heads of senators is 221 inches. The largest heads, however, are not the best.—American paper. A PICKLED BABT.—Tho Salt Lake Telegraph tells the following story. A. little four year old, living in a. neighbouring ward, has a habit of getting into babyhood serapes every day. At one time he tips over the work-box and then come down all the multifarious " fixins" of the women folks; this done, he climbs into the wash tub, gots wet, and bawls oat furiously until mamma runs to get her " darlin' baby" out of the mess, which is no sooner done than the young rascal pulls the cat all around the room by the tail, making poor pussy mew in the most agonis ing manner. But " mamma's little pet " got into a very bad scraps the other day, whereby he got badly pickled. Having made his way to the pantry, and observing a large jar of pickles, the little fellow thought he would have at least what big folks call a square meal, so in went the head in the jar of pickles, but out the head couldn't got, and as a consequence, " darlin'" sot up a vary lively and interesting noise, which attracted the frightened mother, who found the young hopeful just in the fix described. Amidst screams and cries the jar had to be broken before the baby's head could be extricated, which having been done, "little pickle," as he is now called, cast sly looks at his ma, and then at the pickles, exclaiming, " 0, mamma, I'se never dowin to dot pickled aden !" THE CONSERVATIVE REEORM BILL.—A nume rously attended and enthusiastic meeting was held at Hull last night. Resolutions were carried condemning the Government bill. A Conservative amendment was pro posed to the effect that it was the desire of the Govern ment to settle reform on constitutional principles, and re jected by seven to ono. The ex-Mayor presided, and the leading men, both Liberal and Conservative, addressed the meeting. FRAUDULENT WEIGHTS AND MASURES.—The number of weights, measures, scales, and weighing machines found by the inspectors in South London to be deficient from April, 1865, to March, 1867, inclusive, is as follows : —Weights, 2,091 ; measures, 1,877 ; scales and weighing-machines, 803—total, 4,771. The profits accru ing to the tradesmen, and the consequent loss to the customers, from such a state of matters, must have 10k! , ,,f1 enormous.—&Yout4 Lendwi Press.

About 24 years ago a young man named Turner was living at a large academy at Amorsham, Buckinghamshire, filling the position of teacher of languages. One evening ho was seized with a fit—he being subject to them—and the next morning his bedroom window was found open, and he was missing from the room. About ten daysafter the body of a young man was found lying face downwards in some shallow water, and the body was at once supposed to be that of the unfortunate young man, and on a number of the scholars and relatives viewing the body they all identified it as that of their teacher and friend. The body in due course was interred by the relatives, and the mother took possession of a watch belonging to the deceased, and wore it till her death. A few days ago some of the relatives of Turner received a letter from Ballarat, Australia, and were not a little surprised to find that their relative, whom they had believed to be dead and buried, and whose grave they had kept up ever since, was still alive, quite well and in a very comfortable position.

The feature of the Market operations to-day was the advance of Clarice (who was said to have won her trial) for the City and Suburban. Defiance also came with a rush consequent on a heavy com mission being executed in his favour. Mayonaise was scarcely in such good odour as yesterday, but Vespasian was steady at his quoted price. For the Metropolitan Lord of the Dales was in most re quest, and at the close there was little to choose be tween him and Dunsany for favouritism. Scarcely anything was done on the " Guineas" or Derby.

THE BENEFIT OF A GOOD CHARACTER.—John Biddle, cab-driver, living in Southampton-street, Camberwell, was placed at the bar before the sitting magistrate, on the charge of being drunk during his employment, and causing damage to a fire escape. James Ward, A 290, ststed that while on duty last night at a quarter to 12 o'clock he perceived a crowd at the top of Bow-street. He at once pro ceeded there and saw a conductor of the fire-escape holding the horse of the prisoner's cab. The escape was on the ground, and he (constable) took the prisoner, who was drunk, into custody. The pri soner said he was neither drunk nor sober, but was half way." E. Brown, foreman to Mr. Clark, fire-escape maker, Burton-crescent, said that the fire-escape was now lying in the yard very much broken. It could not now be repaired under £lO. Conductor Christopher said that he was standing inside the box near the escape when he suddenly heard a crash, and he only saved himself by stepping back a few inches from the falling machine. lie immediately ran after the cab and held the horse. He could not tell whether the prisoner was driving rapidly or not. The iron bar and many of the steps were broken. The prisoner said the horse shied at the escape—this is often the case. The magistrate remarked that he could not be lieve it, and he thought it very likely indeed that any horse would be frightened at a fire-escape. James Brooks deposed that he drove the prisoner's cab home last night, and that on several occasions during the journey the horse shied at the most trifling circumstance. A police-constable was inside, and if he had not pulled the rein tightly the horse and cab would have been on the pavement, and most likely capsized altogether. The magistrate, in concluding the case, observed that he was not going to deal with the charge of damaging the escape, but only with reference to the prisoner being drunk, and that most likely, if this had not been case, the accident would not have happened at all. As it was he should only fine the prisoner 10s. or seven days, but a constable should inquire as to the prisoner's character, and if the charge of the damages was to be preferred against the prisoner a summons would be issued for that purpose. About half an hour afterwards, at the request of the magistrate, the prisoner was brought back, and on account of his very good character the fine was reduced to 2s. 6d. WESTMINSTER. ASSAULTING A WITNESS.—Edward Condon, a boy 14 years of age, was charged before Mr. Selfe with assaulting a little boy named George Wilson, of 28, Broadway, Westminster. Complainant said he worked at a greengrocer's. On Wednesday afternoon he was at the top of Strutton-ground, Westminster, when the prisoner came behind him and struck him over the head with a piece of wood, which cut his head open. He did it angrily, because complainant came up as a witness against a companion of prisoner's on the Tuesday, and since then he had been continually attacked by these rough boys. Ile met him again, and prisoner struck him in the mouth. Prisoner said he and his companions and com plainant were iu the ruins (Victoria-street) on Sa turday. He gave complainant 2d. to get something, which he stole, and when, prisoner met him again he struck him in the mouth. There were no witnesses on either side. Upton, the constable who took the prisoner on the warrant, said he was a bad character, and last night denied all knowledge of the complainant or the assault. The complainant declared that what prisoner said about the 2d. was untrue. Mr. Selfe said it was all very well when boys got playing and gave each other a cuff, but when it came to assaulting a person who had given evidence it was a more serious matter. The name of Conden was familiar to him, but he would not visit the sins of others on the prisoner, whom he fined 10s., or 7 days. The next boy who assaulted another who had given evidence would .be sent to prison without the option of a fine. The prisoner was locked up in default. THAMES. EMBEZZLEMENT.—JaMCS Woodley, a journeyman baker, in the service of Mr. George Farquharson, of No. 2, Stainsby-road, Poplar, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with feloniously embezzling various sums of money he had received for and on account of his master. The prisoner had been in the practice of deliver ing bread and flour to his master's customers and receiving money for the same which he ought to have accounted for to his mistress, and paid over his receipts to her daily. Instead of doing so, he appropriated about £3 to his own use. He was arrested last night by Abbott, a police constable, No. 322 K. On being made acquainted. with the charge he said "It is not so much as £3, it is a little over 305." Three charges of receiving Gs. 5d., 2s. Id., and 3s. 6d., which he had not accounted for, were gone into and proved. Mrs. Farquhar son said there were 10 or 12 other charges of a similar nature against the prisoner. He made no defence, and was committed for trial. A RUNAWAY HUSBAND.—John Sampson Wicks, boilermaker, aged 31, was brought up on a warrant which charged him that he did run away and leave Jemima, his wife, and his two children, namely, Jemima, aged 3 years, and Mary Ann, aged 18 months, chargeable to the parish of All Saints, Poplar. _ . The charge was preferred by Mr. Speatley, the relieving officer of the Poplar Union. The prisoner, a dissipated fellow, abandoned his wife and children, and entered into an illicit intercourse with a girl of, bad character. He was afflicted with small-pox while this adulterous intercourse existed. On his recovery he applied to Mr. Speatley for relief, and received an order to be admitted into the work house. He tore up the order and threw it at Mr. Speatley. An inquiry was made, and it was ascer tained that be was wanted for the abandonment of his wife and children. He was* sentenced to for three months' hard labour in the House of Cor rection. MARKETS.—This day. COVENT GARDEN.

STUTTGART, March 23. The Official Gazette of to-day publishes the text of a treaty of alliance between Prussia and Wur temburg, identical in terms with that concluded between Prussia and Bavaria on the 23d August last.
