IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tius DAY. Tho SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past twelve o'clock.. LAW OF LIBEL BILL. Sir e. CrLOGHLEN 111.311011 the second reading of this bill. lie said the bill was substantially the same as the one he introduced in the year 1865. It was founded on justice; it was quite sufficient to meet the exigencies of the case, and ought to receive. the sanction of the house. Various attempts had been made to improve the state of the law in the years 1833-4-5, but without suc cess. In the year 1843 a committee was appointed by the House of Lords, the result of which led to the intro duction of a bill by Lord Campbell, which received the assent of Parliament. That bill allowed defendants to plead an apology, to lodge money in court, and to plead justifi cation ; but valuable as were the . privileges conferred by that measure, they did not effect the entire removal of those liabilities which he thought proprietors of newspapers ought not labour under. In the year 1858 the attention of Parliament was again called to the state of the law of libel by an action being tried, in which although the damages only amounted to one shilling, the costs incurred by the defendant amounted to over £4OO. From that time down to the present the law had been allowed to remain without alteration. The bill he had now the honour to propose to the house dealt with reports of public meetings, the practice in libel cases, indict ments for libel, and other general matters. He pro posed to make speakers at public meetings liable for any slander uttered, because when a person went to a meeting knowing well that his words would be taken down by the reporters present and published, he ought to bo held as resp.)nsible for the statements made under such circum stances as if ho had written and published them himself. The bill also set forth that it should be a good defence to any action for libel, provided the matter was truly and correctly reported, and that the newspaper had published an explanation or contradiction of the libellous matter furnished by the party complaining, if required so to do. This latter provision was taken from the French law, in which country there were very few actions for libel. The second part of the bill applied not only to actions brought against newspapers, but to libels of all sorts, and more expressly to the question of costs. In this country there were no costs, providing the damages awarded did not amo nt to 40s.,bu tin Ireland, if a verdict was returned giving id., it carried costs with it ; and ho proposed in the present bill to assimilate the law in the two countries, and to set down .£5 as the sum which should carry costs against the party losing the suit. Another provision was that a plaintiff should be called upon to give security for costs, because the law requires every newspaper proprietor to give security for costs for any action that might be brought against him. He did not see why one party should be allowed to play on velvet, whilst the ther stood only on the position to pay costs, supposing a verdict to go against him, whilst if the m atter was decided in his favour he had to pay his own costs, because the person proceeding against , hint was a man of straw, or one totally unable- to pay for th6'trouble and expense ho had incurred in carrying on a speculative action for libel The bill enacted that no action for libel should be comme nce d w ith ou t the sanction of the Attorney or Solictor-General. The measure, how ever, did not extend to Scotland. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he thought the bill a very good one, but it would require some alteration in committee to prevent its being wrecked in its future stages in another place. (LEFT SPEAKING.) Health of the Royal Navy. Dr. Mackey, in his statistical abstract for theyear ending June, 1866, says : "In the ratio of cases placed upon the sick list there was indeed a trifling increase as compared with the previous 12 months ; but the rates of inva liding and mortality were the lowest that had occur red during a period of 10 years. It is alsogratifying to be able to report that in that portion of the force which is at present attracting most attention--viz., the armour-clad vessels—the ratio of cases waslower than in any other class of sea-going vessels, with the exception of the second rates. The ratio of invalid ing was also low, and the only class of vessel in which the death -rate was lower was the first-rate, of which only 0n.3 was in commission. "During the 12 months embraced in the present report the average force was 50,495, and the num ber of eases of disease and injury entered on the sick list was 67,593, which is in the ratio of 1338.6 per 1,000 of mean force, a slight increase as compared with the preceding 12 months, but much below the average sick rate of the total force taken for a pe riod of 10 years, that being 1472.6 per 1,000. The stations showing the highest ratios of cases were the South-east Coast of America, 'West Coast of Africa, the East Indies and Capeof Good Hope, and China, and the ratio in the irregular force was also high. " The number of cases entered on the sick list per man was, on the home station, 0.9 ; on the Mediter ranean, 1.4 ; North America and West Indies, 1.6 ; South-east Coast of America, 1.6 ; Pacific, 1.6 ; West Coast of Africa, 2.3 ; East Indies and Capeof Good Hope, 1.7 ; China, F 7 ; Australia, 1.4 ; and the irregular force, F 7 ; giving an average of 1.3 for the total force, the decennial average being 1.4. "It appears that of all the sea-going yesselaoe lowest ratio of cases was in the second-rates, and next, the difference being very trifling, in the iron clad vessels ; while the highest ratios were in the sixth-rates, sloops, gun-vessels, and troop-ships, _ . " There were one or two frigates of the sixth rate on every station, with the exception of the South east Coast of America. The higheit ratios shown by them were on the West Coast of Africa, Pacific, and Mediterranean stations. " Vessels of the sloop class were employed on all, excepting the home station. The largest ratio of sickness in those vessels was on the 'West Coast of Africa. " The lowest ratio of cases in the gun-vessels was on the Australian station, and the highest in China; as, during the previous 12 months, the lowest sick rate in any particular vessel of the class was in the Surprise, on the Mediterranean station, where it was 733.3, while in China, in the Coquette, it was as high as 3141.0 per 1,000. " The high sick rate in the troop-ships was altogether attributable to the prevalence of fever in an epidemic form, in the adventure, in China. With that exception there was no particular sickness iu those vessels. " The average ratio of invaliding in the total force taken for a period of 10 years was 35.1 per 1,000 of mean force. During the 12 months em braced in this abstract 1,590 persons were invalided, which is in the ratio of 31.4 per 1,000, being the lowest ratio of invaliding that has occurred within a period of 10 years. " The Mediterranean, the West Coast of Africa, and China were the only stations on which the ratio of invaliding exceeded the average of the total force for the decennial period. " The average ratio of mortality of the total force for the decennial period was 15.5 per 1,000 of mean force. During the present period it was only 10.5, the total number of deaths being 535. Of these, 404 were the result of various forms of disease, and 131 of wounds, injuries, and drowning. The death rate from disease alone was about 8 per 1,000." r• Is, IN North Eastern, York, IT. and Selby'pnichase, Stockton and Darlington B, 6 per cent.. 311 1 North Eastern, West Hartlepool Harbour and Rail,. 79 IV.FEILENCE SAARES AND STOCKS.

TRULY traditionary manlier in which the Irish rebels of 1867 are going about the country search ing houses for arms is noteworthy. In 1798 the Irish rebels searched houses for arms because they had none and wanted to get some ; in 1867 the Irish rebels search houses for arms, having already more arms and ammunition than they know how or care to use, simply because in former rebellions the practice of making these domiciliary searches has obtained. If arms and ammunition, without steadfast hearts, could expel the English from Ireland, Ireland would have bei,n a lost country to England long . az,-0.—P(411-pi.all Gazette. • LAW INTELLIGENCE---This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Befure the Right lion. Sir J. P. Wilde and a Special Jury.) WHITE V. WHITE AND FIELD. This was a suit instituted to obtain a dissolution of marriage on the ground of the wife's adultery with the co-respondent. Dr. Spinks, Q.C., and Mr. Searle appeared for the peti tioner ; Sir Robert Collier, Q.C., and Dr. Tristram for the respondent; and Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson and Dr. \Vambey for the co-respondent. The parties in this case were married at Madras in 1837, and lived for some time together. They then returned to England and became acquainted with the cu-respondent and his family. The wife was then left in England, the petitioner, a major general, being obliged to return to his military duties in India. She rejoined him there in 1850, and lived a year or two with him there, but then returned to England, where it was alleged that at Cleveland-gardens and at Mc-terrace, Bayswater, she committed adultery with the co-respondent. General White returned to England in 18ti1, and soon after this su:t was instituted. Mary Gilbert said she was the wife of a sergeant in the Coldstream Guards. She entered the respondent's service in May, 1854, and remained there till 1855. This was at Rifle terrace, Bayswater. There were other ladies in the house beside Mrs. White. She knew Dr. Field. He came frequently to see Mrs. White, generally in the morning between 9 and 10 o'clock. Respondent was not often up then. Dr. Field went to her bedroom, and remained there a long time. When he went into Mrs. White's bedroom she was some times dressing and sometimes in bed. They used to go out together. She had seen Mrs. White with only a pet ticoat and body on while Mr. Field was there. On ono occasion witness was rubbing Mrs. White's shoulders when a knock was heard at the door, and Mrs. White said— • " Whose's there ?" The answer was " Octavius." Mrs. White said, " Come in Octavius if it is only you." He came in while Mrs. White's person was exposed to the waist. Witness left the room, and the co-respondent remained an hour and a half. The butcher called after that, and wit ness went up for orders, and was going in when, she found the door clocked, and Mrs. White gave her the OrderS through the doer. She and the 'co-respondent afterwards came down stairs together. He used to come sometimes of an evening, and NIA White used to tell her to go to bed. Cross-examined—Mr. White took down her evidence in writing. Mrs. White • had nothing the matter with her except the rheumatism in her shoulder. She used to lay in bed all day sometimes. All the time she was therb there were ladies in the house. There was something said about a silver spoon not being found. There was nothing said about a brooch and diamond ring being found in her room. Mr. Field used to visit Mrs. White at all times in the day. She had mentioned these things to her fellow-servants. Eliza Green stated that she was in the service of the respondent about 14 months, in 1855 and 1856. This witness simply gave corroborative testimony. Several other servants giving similar evidence were examined, and the petitioner's case concluded. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] SHOREDITCH COUNTY COURT. (Before Mr. Dasent.) THE TRAPEZE PERFORMERS.-BROTHERS EUGENE V. POI ELL AND OTHERS. This was an action to recover one week's salary for per forming on the trapeze, and damages for the detention of the trapeze and its fittings. Mr. G. 0. Nash appeared for the plaintiff, who is one of the brothers Eugene ; Mr. Clark representing defendants, who are circus proprietors, lately at the Standard. The plaintiff, aged 18 years, was a youth who had for some time past been known to the public as a trapeze per former under the style of the Brother Eugene, although that was not his proper name. He had performed for the defendants at their circus in different parts of the country, and one night at the Standard. He performed with another lad younger than himself, who was also called a brother Eugene. The brothers had 50s. per week, of which plaintiff kept 80s, and paid his younger professional brother 205., but then he had taught the young one, brought him out, and used to buy him his "spangles." Plaintiff left defendant to fulfil another engagement, and they refused to pay him his last week. Plaintiff's mother and father, who were very respectable people, were in court, and the mother said it was entirely against her wish that her son—her only son—carried on this life. His Honour—How long have you been a performer, Eugene ? • Plaintiff— Since I-was 10 years old. His Honour —What was the commencement ? Plaintiff—When I was very young I set up a pole in the garden and practised upon it. • His_Honour-,And then .you ewe out ? Plaintiff —Yes., His lionour:—Don't you thiuk you bad better be at bard work ? Plaintifr(smiling)—This is liittd work, but I like it. His Honour —lt is very dangerous. You will be an old man before you are 30, and you w►ll perhaps meet with an accident, and then what will become of you? Plaintiff made no reply. Fur the defence it was urged that the plaintiff had not served the full term of his agreement, and that the other brother was a partner in the trapeze and fittings. • The younger performer, who was still with the defen dants, was then called, and hesaid that he and the plaintiff were called the "Brothers Eugene ;" but the little fellow added confidentially to the judge, "You know we are not really brothers, but it is customary in our profession to have these names." The witness had a share in the trapeze, but not in the pole or fittings. His Honour —And pray how did you become a performer? Witness—l have been a performer about three years, and I began by putting up a pole in the garden? His Honour—And I suppose you like it too? Witness-06, yes. lam very fond of it. (Laughter.) William (the plaintiff) taught me, and brought me out. Plaintiff then informed the Court that the detention of the pole was somewhat serious, as he could perform more easily on his old pole, to which he was accustomed, than on a new one. His Honour thought that was only reasonable. He ruled that, as plaintiff had performed for the week, he was en titled to be paid for it ;• and if he broke his engagement, d e f e ndants could sue him for damages. The verdict would be for the plaintiff for the salary and the damages, less the value of the trapeze, unless tko pole and other things were given up within a week. Verdict for the plaintiff with costs. POLICE INTELLIGEfiCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CONDUCT OF AN UNDERTAKER.—A respect able-looking female waited upon Mr. Tyrwhitt, this morning, to ask his advice under the following circum stances. The applicant, who seemed much affected, stated that she had employed an undertaker at the West end to bury the body of her deceased father, giving him instructions, in accordance with the wish of her father, that Out body should be interred in the same cemetery, at the East end of London as that in which' the bodies of her mother and other relatives had been interred. Instead of doing this the undertaker had buried the pod) , in s different cemetery, although in the same part of the me tropolis, charging more than usual. Mr. Ty.rwhitt.saidit.w.Ls too bad ; it was an outrage on' the feelings of •the relatives. Ho should advise' the ap- - plicant to resist the undertaker's claim, and if he sued her . before the County.-Cotitt judge she could then set up as her defence what she had stated to him. - The applicant thanked the magistrate and retired. THAMES. SCANDALOUS ASSAULT AND IMPOSLTION.—Patrick Dris coll, a stout, tall, able-bodied Irish Cockney, about 22 years of age, was brought beforo Mr. Paget charged with being drunk, disorderly, and assaulting Mr. George Fowler,. assistant to the relieving officers of the Poplar Union. In consequence of the exceptional distress which pre vails at the east end of London, and the great number of applicants for relief, additional assistance has been given to the relieving officers of the Poplar Union. The com plainant is one of the assistants. He is a young man of very quiet and peaceable demeanour. The prisoner applied to him for out-door relief yesterday afternoon, at the work house, and said he was out of work and starving. He was requested to go into the Town-hall in the middle of the building, which is used as a waiting room, and his name would be called at the proper time. The prisoner bec•tme very noisy and abusive, and he told the porter to remove him. The prisoner then attacked the porter, and said ho would smash him. He went to the assistance of the por ter, and was struck by him. He sent for the police and gave the prisoner into custody. Police-constable 665 A said the prisoner was very drunk and made use of very I , acl language. He found 2s. in the prisoner's boot, and did not believe he was in distress at all. The Prisoner—There is a hole in my pocket, and the money fell down the leg of my trousers and got into my boot. Mr. Paget—Quite absurd. I don't believe a word of it. The Prisoner— I am very sorry for what I have done. Mr. Paget—What do you mean by going to the work house in a state of intoxication, and with money in your pocket, and asking for relief ? Prisoner—Yes, I did. _ _ Mr. Paget said the present was a time of unexampled difficulty and distress, and tho guardians of tho poor very wisely made an effort to meet it by giving tho relieving officers additional aid. The prisoner was a rudo black guard, not in distress at all, could afford to got drunk, and had 2s. in his pocket. He sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for two months and kept to hard labour for the assault on Fowler. M. Daiglemont is to succeed M.

The Loup CHANCELLOR. took his seat on the 'woolsack at five o'clock. PETITION. The Marquis of WESTMEATH presented a petition against the sale of spirituous liquors on the Sabbath day, Several other petitions, relative to the same question, were Also presented. RAiI:,WAY TRAFFIC CONNECTION BILL. Lord REI),ESDALE said that it would be remembered that he had introduced a bill, entitled "The Railm.s Traffic Connection Bill." It had for its object the pro tection of the traffic on a railway in case any single creditor should, by enforcing his claim, stop it, thus incurring a great deal of annoyance to the public at large. He thought this a bill of the highest importance, and wciall move its first reading. The bill was read a first time. SMALL DEBTS . (SCOTLAND (BILL. The LORD CIIA.NCELLOR said that under the Small Debts Act iu Scotland the Sheriff had absolute jurisdiction over debts to the amount of £l2. Now it •was asked that this decision :of the Sheriff should be restricted to £5O. (Bear.) •If the debt was between £l2 bnd £25, thtno was a right of appeal, and it was proposed that there should be au appeal in all debts from £25 to to £5O. The process would be a comparatively inexpen sive one, and there would be a certain reservation of power still in the hands of the sheriff. He should now move the second reading. The bill was read a second time. The house then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING. The SrE.axio. took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. COI. DUNCOMBE took tho oath and his seat foi the North Riding of Yorkshire. COMPENSATION FOR SLAUGHTERED CATTLE. `Mr. READ asked the Secretary to the Treasury to whom the owners of cattle slaughtered by inspectors from August to November, 1865, were to apply for composa tiont an'd through what channel such compensation could be paid ? - • Mi'. HUNT said owners of the cattle slaughtered be tweeirthe periods he had mentioned must, in, the first in stance, send in their claims to the local authorities. Their clerk would forward them to the office of the Privy Coun cil, and, after verification, they would be transmitted to the Treasury, and an order for payment sent to the local authorities. Mr. REBOW slid Mr. Corry had stated . just the reverse. He said the parties must in the first instance go to the clerk of the peace. Mr. HUNT remarked that generally speaking the clerk of the peace was the clerk to the local authorities. THE REFORM BILL. Mr: LOWE asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would lay upon the table a return for every borough in England and Wales, showing name of borough, number of male occupiers below £lO rental, number of male occupiers at £3O rental and upwards, and number of male occupiers at £7 rental and upwards? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said all the information required by the right hon. gentleman was to be found in Mr. Baines's return, No. 81, and Mr. Horsman's, No. 494. If, however, the right hon. gentlenian wanted to have them in a tabular form, he would endeavour, al though the clerks of the Poor-law Board were very much overworked, to secure the return for him. THE STALEYBRIDGE STATION. Mr. CIIEETHAM asked the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, whether the attention of the Board had been directed to the very inconvenient and dangerous condition of the Staleybridge Station of the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Railway and Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Companies; and, if so, whether the Board had any communication with the companies upon the subject with the view to oblige them to make better arrangements for the convenience and safety of the public? Mr. CAVE said the attention of the Board of Trade had been called to the disgraceful state of the Staleybridge station, and Colonel Yolland had reported against it. The two railway companies had bsen communicated with, but nothing had yet been done, the Board of Trade having no power to compel either company to improve the station. Very grave responsibility would attach to both'companies if any accident should arise. Both companies had bills before the house ; but Parliament could refuse to sanction any bill in connection with the station until it was safe for public use. THE ANNUITY TAX. Mr. MONCREIFF asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether it was the intention of Go vernment to fill up the present vacancy in the collegiate charge of the parish of Canongate, in Edinburgh; and whether ho intended to introduce any measure relative to the Annuity Tax in that parish. . . Mr: WALrOL,E said thaiit 4 Wal not: die Intel - fit - di of the Government to fill up the vacancy, untta bill to deal with the parish was at present under consideration. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITIES EDUCATION BILL. • Mr. EWART moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to open the benefits of education iu the universities of Oxford and Cambridge to students, without obliging them to b 3 members of a college or hall in those universities. The great object in the foundation of the universities was to cheapen education, but such had been the change worked by time that the contrary was the result. It had been brought about by the great expense now attending university education, which in a great many cases entirely precluded young men from proceeding to either of those colleges to complete their education. The bill would to a great extent throw open the doors of the universities to a very large class, and therefore he hoped the house would agree to the second reading of the bill. After a few observations from Mr. B. HOPE and Sir W. HEATHCOTE, The bill was read a second time. PROTECTION FROM FIRE. Mr. WLACIAN moved for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into the existing legislative provisions for the protection of life and property against fires in the United Kingdom, and as to tho best means to be adopted for ascertaining the causes and frequency of fires. Mr. KINN AIRD seconded the motion. The system of extinguishing fire in America and Canada was much su perior to that in England, and had it been in operation here it was quite possible the fire at the Crystal Palace might have been extinguished before the tropical depart ment was destroyed. He was highly gratified that the Government did not intend to offer any opposition to the appointment of the commission. The motion was agreed to. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY PROFESSORSHIP BILL. This bill as amended was further considered and agreed to. CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. This bill (X 369,118 o's. 6d.) was read 'a third time and pitssed. The other orders of the day hating been disposed of the house adjourned. LONDON GAZETTE—Last Evening. FOREIGN OFFICE, MARCH 2.

Wild Agnes was in demand for the City and Suburban, and both Dalby and Proserpina met with support for the Chester, for which Foresight was backed (with a run) to win a thousand.

NOTES FROM TRAINING QUARTERS. (TIIIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. Though the morning was frosty, and the Heath and training-grounds somewhat affected thereby, The Rake was out early, and after a couple of nice canters went a steady gallop, doing his work well. . The Hermit and Knight of the Garter galloped about a mile and a quarter at half speed. Dragon rattled along in rare form, and so did D'Estournal and Julius. Enchanteur cantered only, and Imperator, with Cerf Volant, merely walked and trotted. Fripon nier took Van Amburgh and Guy of War wick along. S,:alskin is.getting very fit for Epsom Spring ; ho went nearly two miles this morning. Leybourne is leading D'Estournel. Moleskin gal loped a mile and a quarter by herself, and goes beautifully. The same remark applies to Ravioli. Star of India went a mile and a half slowly. Hippia and Opoponax each did a mile and a quarter, pretty fast. Wild Agnes took a mile and a half gallop, steadily; and Tormentor spun along for a couple of miles. STOCKBRIDGE. The Duke was still walking and trotting only, and Rose Cheri continued to absent herself. John Davis, Gomera, and Lecturer, however, did good work for their Spring Handicap engagenients, the three galloping nearly a couple of miles. Distin again took it easy. Lord Ronald led Vauban, Harpenden, Uncas, and Caucasus about a mile and a half ; and the. Oaks mares Ines, Seville, Lady Rose, and Red Riband went a mile and a quarter. Lady Hester followed the same distance by herself. Black Prince (by Voltigeur) and Quirina galloped a mile and three-quarters steadily. Redcap can tered, and Copenhagbn walked, as did Fairfield. RICHMOND. Plaudit had four or five good canters this morn ing, along with Lozenge, Rose, Newland, and Strathconan ; but neither of them galloped. All aro well. Bumblekite merely trotted about. Mol davia was not out. MALTO N. When the frost came on here, and the wolds were covered deeply with snow, John Scott put Grand Cross, Taraban, and Wild Wind into physic. This morning they cantered about ; and the only horses we saw gallop were Malta, Lion, Skysail, War, and Westwick. The stables are all healthy. FJNDON. Rama, Thalia, Longdown, Fal - Lal, Gilead, Foresight, Timolaus, Lady Lambton, and Owain Glendwr are all receiving a strong preparation for their early spring engagements. This morning they galloped a mile and a half at three_parts Speed, the lot going beautifully. RACING FIXT RES FOR' 1867. MA. Chelmsford Spring l2 Margate.. War wick Spring l9 UH.
