MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The condition of the money market is firmer, and the supplies are smaller owing to the recent failures, the apprehension of others, and the requirements incidental to the:end of the quarter. The gold sent into the Bank of England on Satur day amounted to £15,000. It has been announced that an application for a settlement in the Danubian Loan will be made to the committee of the Stock Exchange to-morrow, documents required having come to hand. In the manufacturing districts the progress of business during the last week has again been of a very unsatisfactory character, the late severe wea ther having caused a partial cessation of operations in most departments. At Manchester a slight de cline has taken place in the rates current for cloths and yarns, in sympathy with the Liverpool Cotton Market, and spinners and manufacturers are curtailing operations. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield few dealings of importance have been reported in spring goods, but prices generally have remained steady. In the hardware districts of Birmingham, Sheffield, and "Wolverhampton business also has remained very quiet, although a few orders have been received for railway iron for exportation, which has tended to keep the operatives in full employment. The accounts received this morning from the north-eastern ports state that in the Tyne a better feeling; hits prevailed in the freight market. The arrivals during the week were 281 vessels, of which 81 were with cargo, and 55 were screw steamers. The rates for London ruled at 6s. 3d. to 6s. 40. and 7s. per tou to discharge at wharves. On the Wear also there has been a slight advance, 7a. Gd. to 7s. 9d. being the current rates for London in handy-sized vessels. On the Tees aide and Cleve land the iron trade bas remained very languid ; while in South Yorkshire there has been a fair in quiry for railway iron, and manufacturers generally are well employed. The coke trade also continues to improve, and the stocks are taken off as soon as manufactured. Capt. W. A. Dombulow Pearce, R.N., writes to Us as follows :—" Sir, —My attention having been directed to the insertion of my name as a director to a new company, advertised in your impression of the 22d inst., entitled " The New Nantymwyn Mining Extension Company (Limited)," I beg to acquaint you that such use and insertion of my name is entirely without my authority or knowledge; and I have to request that it may not be repeated in any future advertisement." We notice in the London Gazette of the 19th inst. that Mr. Charles Oppenheim has been appointed Consul-General for Scotland by hislmperial Majesty the Sultan, and that he has appointed Mr. Edward Lang, of Edinburgh, to represent him as acting Consul there. Two o'CLecr. According to Reuter's Telegram from Paris to. day, the French Rentes were 69f. 02e. Inanimate. Very little change is observable in the market for the English Funds. Investments are steadily made but not sufficient to cause any animation. Many, to doubt, are deterred from operating, pending the debate this evening in the house, which is considered important. Consols are firm at the prices of the last few days, being 91 for money, and 911 i for the account. Business in the Foreign Stock Market has opened firmly. Greek have advanced„ to 151 ; Mexi can k, to 171 1; Italian 1, to 53i a ; and Chilian Scrip 1, to 21} dis. Spanish Passive are steady at 211 221; the Certificates at 141 J ; Turkish 5 per Cents. at 30 1 ; Russian Scrip at 21 1 prem. ; and Danubian Scrip at 1/ 11 dis. The only change in ♦merican Securities is a decline of lin Illinois, to 78 ; Erie Shares remain firm at 381 391; and United States 5-20 Bonds at 74i f. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Deben tures have advanced 1 to 32 321, and the Consoli dated Mortgage Bonds 1 to 23f 241. In the Railway Share Market business has re mained very inactive, and a further slight decline has been exhibited in prices. Great Eastern, Great Western, Metropolitan, and Midland have each re ceded 1, South-Eastern 1, and Brighton 1. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain with out any material alteration. South Austrian and Lombardo-Venetian being dealt in at 16/ ; Great Luxembourg at 10 1 ; Bahia and San Francisco at 13/ ; East Indian at 108 / ; and Great Indian Peninsula at 107/ 1081. Bank Shares are dull, at barely previous rates. London and Westminster hare declined to 9311; and London and County to 561 7. Miscellaneous and Finance Shares remain without any change of importance, Anglo-American Tele graph being dealt in at 16 161 ; Credit Foncier of England, at 2f 3 ; Peninsular and Oriental steam, at 61f ; and Viceroy of Egypt Mortgage Loan, at 72i I.

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE EARL OF CADOGAN.—A DRUNKEN COACHMAN.—George Harris, a coachman, was charged kefore Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk while in charge of a brougham belonging to Mr. Richards, a job master, of Phcenix-yard, Oxford-street, and also with wil fully damaging the carriage of the Earl of Cadogan. Mr. Sayer, frcin the office of Mr. Edward Lewis, Groat Marlborough-street, appeared on the part of Mr. Richards, and said the prisoner had not only got drunk and smashed his master's carriage nearly to pieces, but he had also seriously damaged the carriage of the Earl of Cadogan. Police-constable Norrish Pike, (,1 0, said that about 12 o'clock on Saturday right he saw a carriage coming along South Audley-street at a rapid rate, there being no driver on the box. The prisoner, who had been driving it, having been afterwards found fallen off the box drunk. The prisoner's carriage went on till it came in collision with the Earl of Cadogan's carriage, which was greatly damaged, and the prisoner's carriage was also nearly smashed to pieces. Ho took the prisoner to the station. Mark Paramore, coachman to the Earl of Cadogan, said that on Saturday night he was driving his master's carriage—his master being inside—along South Audley street, and just before he got to Dean-street he saw the prisoner's carriage approaching on the wrong side. The prisoner pulled his reins sharp, and his carriage came in collision with his lordship's carriage, striking it violently just below the lamp, the prisoner, who was drunk, having pulled the wrong rein. He (witness) was thrown off his box with the reins in his hand, and his horses got away, and went on till they got to near the corner of Dean-street, when they were stopped, and both hind springs having been broken through the collision, the carriage fell off backwards on to the ground, the pole sticking up in the air, and his lordship being inside at the time. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the witness whether ho had any idea as to the amount of the damage, and the witness said it was between £9 and £lO. Mr. Sayer said the prisoner was only employed as odd man, and was sent out with tho carriage by Mr. Richards's foreman. The damage to Mr. Richards's carriage amounted to £3O. _ _ The prisoner said h• bad nothing to say, only that he was in fault. Mr. Tyrwhitt said police courts would bo of no use if magistrates wore not to check drunken coachmen. It was certainly a remarkable thing that whenever anything of the present kind occurred the man was generally the odd man. The prisoner would have to pay 40s or a month, and £9 or another month for the damage. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERY BY A SBRVINT.—John Mallard, a young man, 21 years of age, was charged with stealing £7, the property of his master. Mrs. Emma Spenceley, landlady of the King's Head and Eight Bells, Cheyne-walk, Chelsea, said the prisoner had been in their service 18 months as potman, and on Satur day week she sent him to get change for seven sovereigns, with which he never returned. He had ss. a week and his keep. William Luby, 244 E, warrant officer, proved apprehend ing prisoner on the warrant at Northampton on Saturday, where his mother lives and keeps a beer-shop. He said nothing, and, after a conversation with his mother, she handed witness a letter directed to Mr. Spenceley. The prisoner said he wrote it. It was begging Mr. Spenceley to forgive him, and offering to refund the money as soon as possible. He gave witness a purse containing Is. 3d., and his mother gave up 18s. He was looking at a railway guide, and said he was coming to town to give himself up. He said he did not know what induced him to take the money ; when he got it he felt he could not part with it. Prisoner said he hail spent the money, and was very sorry, and pleaded guilty. Mr. Spenceley charged him also with stealing a pair of boots. _ Mr. Belie said it was a very bad case ; he had lost his good situation, and would probably never get another. lie sentenced him to six months' hard labour. THAMES. SINGULAR FRIAR 02 A SAlLOR.—Benjamin Norman dale, a young sailor, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with attempting to commit self-destruction. Robert Hill, a police-constable, No. 101 H, stated that on Saturday night the prisoner accosted him on Tower-hill, and inquired the way to Harrison's-wharf. He replied that he would show him, and walked down Tower-hill towards the river. A prostitute followed them, and he ordered her away. She then walked on before them. On reaching the bottom of the hill, close to the water side, the prostitute said, "Come this way." The prisoner followed her down the steps leading to the river, and he fell over the rteps and hurt himself. He raised the prisoner, who then appeared to be quite insensible. He staid by the prisoner some time, and was about to put him on a stretcher, when the prisoner jumped up and called out "The Fenians are coming! Man the yards! All hands to the guns !" He tried to paoify the prisoner, who made a rush towards the river, and before he could stop him jumped into the water. He would have been carried away by the tido if he had not pulled him out. Mr. Paget—He threw himself into the water because you were present to pull him out. The prisoner said ho was intoxicated on Saturday night, and had no recollection of what took place. The captain of a coasting vessel said the prisoner was an ordinary seaman on board, and as good a lad as ever lived. He had known the prisoner since he was a child. The prisoner got drunk on Saturday night for the first time. Mr. Partridge—He has been locked up since Saturday night. That is punishment enough. Take him away with you, captain. I hope he will not be drinking to excess any more. DREADBUL ASSAULT.—Bridget Macarthy, atlas Biddy Lynch, was charged with assaulting and wounding Mary Condon, who was in a► weakly condition from loss of blood, and whose head was bandaged. The two women, who are equally isfamons and disor derly, live in a perfect den of infamy, No. 1, Bluegate fields, Shadwell, and Donald M'Kay, No. 75 IC, said all the inmates of the house had been convicted of some offence, and the samo might be said of nearly all the in habitants of Bluegate-fields. Yestorday (Sunday) morn ing, at 4 o'clock, the women quarrelled over a sailor who was lured into the house to be robbed, and they fought. The prisoner took a shell or image off a mautolsholf and struck Condon a tremendous blow on the head with it. The wretched woman was stunned and her head cut open. She was quickly removed to the London Hospital by MlCay, and her wound was dressed. The prisoner said that her friend fell on a fender, and that she never struck her at all. Mr. Paget said it was difficult to decide between two women of bad character. The oath of one was opposed to the assertion of the other. He did not know which to be lieve. Ho remanded the prisoner for the attendance of the surgeon who dressed the wound. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET. (This• Day.)

WARKETS.--This day. MARK-LANE. Thoro was less activity in the demand for wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. Prices, however, ruled firm, and the late advance in prices was well supported. Barley, oats, beans, and peas met a slow sale at late rates. There was a fair demand for flour on former terms. On the continent the trade for wheat is quiet at late prices. In spring corn but little business is doing. The trade for wheat and flour at New York is still in an inactive state, so far as exports to Europe are concerned. The arrivals of English grain, &c., up to our market ' last week here were very moderate. The chief impor:s from abroad were 17,858 quarters of wheat, 7,565 barley, 14,052 oats, 100 sundries, and 2,001 sacks of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale at our market to day was very moderate, but the condition of the produce was on the whole good. The trade was extremely quiet for all qualities. Millers purchased merely to supply their immediate wants, nevertheless good and fine samples changed hands at prices about equal to those current on Monday last. Inferior wheats were dull, and rather cheaper. The market was moderately supplied with foreign wheat. For all descriptions the demand was in a sluggish state, and the aggregate business transacted was small. In prices no change took place. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair, but by no means active, request, at late rates. The supply of English barley on the stands was only moderate ; but there was a tolerably extensive show of foreign produce. The trade for all qualities was very quiet, at previous quotations. Malt sold slowly, at late prices. The flour trade was rather quiet. Prices wore without material change from last week. Linseed and rapeseed were steady, at full prices. For agricultural seeds there was rather more inquiry. Cakes were in good demand, at an advance of 5s porton. CURILEXCY Ilia IMP.

For the time of year there was a large supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day. Sales progressed slowly, and prices had a drooping tendenoy. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of boasts to-day wore only moderate, but in good condition. All breeds met a dull sale, and in some instances prioes were rather lower than last week. The top figure was ss. 2d. per 8 lbs. The supply from Scotland was rather limited, while no arrivals were reported from Ireland. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 1,500 Scots, short horns, and crosses; from other parts of England 500 various broods and from Scotland 168 Scots and crosses. The supply of sheep was on the increase. All breeds met a heavy inquiry, and priest; gave way 2d. per 8 lbs. The best Downs and half-breds, in the wool, sold at Gs. to Gs. 2d. per 81bs.

Defiance, who came such a " hot'un" on Saturday, being sent to the right about. There was a large commission in themarket for the Mayonaise filly, who ultimately touched 5 to 1. Clarice was remarkably healthy at her quoted price, and these almost entirely monopolised speculation, with the exception of Foresight, who, after his stable companion Thalia, had been put up and backed down to 100 to 7, superseded the latter and eventually reached 10 to 1.

A favourable and most agreeable change in the weather bids fair to make the Epsom reunion on Tuesday and Wednesday next the first pleasant meeting of the season, and never was a more attractive programme issued for the spring races than the one in question. The Stamford Plate on the first day has most of the speedy horses of the day engaged; but the short distance and the large field likely to be brought out will make it too much of a scramble to speculate upon with any degree of certainty. flowerer, Qui Vire, Scarborough, King of Spades, Tina, and Miller's Maid are all well in, and should MILLER'S MAID represent Lord Westmorland on the day, she or TINA ought to be about winning. In the lleathcote Plate Ulphus, Wild Bee, and l)ayrell appear to me most trustworthy. The Two Year Old Stakes will most likely go to NINNY, as sho has no penalty to carry for her previous winnings, unless there is some clinker in the background. Rumour speaks highly of Thorndyke, who should not be lost sight of in case he faces the starter's flag. The City and Suburban Handi cap is sure to produce a large field, amongst whom will probably be Monarch of the Glen, Vespasian, Wild Agnes, Thalia, Aldcroft, Conundrum, Scarborough, Fal-lal, Can non Ball, Gretna, filly by King Tom out of Mayonaise, De fiance, and Clarice. lam not going to trouble your readers with an elaborate analysis of the different animals, but after having carefully perused their performances, shall content myself by selecting Clarice, Foresight, or the Mayonaiso filly as the winner; and, if an outsider wins, it will most likely be Monaroh of the Glen, who ran second to Lord Lyon last year in the Two Thousand Guineas. The great attraction of Wednesday will be the Metro politan, the New Two Year Old, and the Prince of \Woe's Stakes. The betting for the first-named race has been of a somewhat limited nature. Amongst those entrusted by the public or with their owners money aro Tormentor, who I think will have to succumb to Sydruonton and ono or two others in the race. Tourmalin is nicely weighted, and as the Baron's horses are remarkably for ward for this period of the year she is justlyentitled to her position in the market. Proserpiue is " turned loose," but the Chester Cup is more likely to be her journey, but as she is hoarily backed there is no knowing which race Mr. Swindell may send her for. Retribution has also been backed for a great deal of monoy on the quiet, and certainly if there were any good grounds for his favouritism in the Goodwood Stakes he ought to give a good account of him self here. Foresight and Gilead have also been backed, and whichever represents his lordship is bound to be danger ous. The latter will stay every yard of the way. Lord of the Dales has been heavily supported, and ought to secure a place if he does not win. My opinion is that the winner will turn up in either DUNSANY, TOM:MALIN, or Loup OF THE DALES. Per the New Two-year-old Stake; Ninny has incurred a 71b penalty, which will spoil her chance ; but the Duke of Newcastle has a second string to his bow in SPECULUM, who, I am told, is a really good two-year-old. On looking over the Prince of Wales's Stakes the fol lowing lot appear best in, viz., Longdown, Abergeldie, Conundrum, Gretna, Musician, only Gat 121 b. (with his 71b penalty), and of these 1 like MUSICIAN and GRETNA as well as anything. The Walton Stakes should go to PIRATE emu., especially if ho has pretensions to run in the Derby. A FRESH MAN. BROMLEY RAGES. THB OBJECTION AGAINST CUTLER.—On Saturday after noon Lord Parker, who was the only steward present, entertained the objection lodged by Mr. Sheppard, the owner of Wade, against Cutler and Gardner for having gone the wrong side of a tree in the Railway Steeplechase, and visited the place indicated, but the decision was re served till the Epsom meeting. THE OBJECTION AGAINST TOMAHAWK.-011 Saturday afternoon the following notice was exhibited in the ring : " Tomahawk is disqualified for the Tally-ho Stakes, having carried 71b short, being placed twice in 1866.—PARKER." NOTES PROM TRAINING QUARTERS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. The Rake galloped a mile and a half this morn ing, and continues to progress most satisfactorily. Dragon and Trocadero went nearly a couple of miles, steadily ; and D'Estournel, after two long canters, had a nice mile and three-quarters gallop. Star of India did nearly the same quantity of work. The Hermit did not go more than a mile and a quarter, but Knight of the Garter went a mile and three-quarters. Ravioli followed Moleskin a mile and ahalf ; and Hippia and Opoponax galloped a similar length, the two fillies being vastly improved. Tourmalin, Tor mentor, Sealskin, Vespasian, and all our other Epsom horses, barring Wild Agnes, have done un commonly well, but the latter was stopped a day or two ago. Perhaps it is the old hock ailment over again. The training grounds here are now getting into rare condition, and we shall be all ac tivity again when the Surrey meeting of the present week is over. Brick, Chibisa, and Feodor have done nothing but trotting and cantering exercise since their arrival here from Enville. Sir Oliver will follow them in a few days time, but he is at present in the hospital. RICHMOND. Plaudit, Newland, Strathconan, and Rose gal loped a mile and three-quarters this morning, and all went in beautiful form. The crack, however, is very big. He is to be sweated on Wednesday. Lozenge led about a dozen others a mile and a half, including Violet. Bumblekite did nearly two miles, first-rate ; and will bo better than Rose for the Oaks. Newland looks all the better for his rest, and will take a lot of doing at Chester. Nothing More, Chessman, Singapore, Fat Bob, Declaration, and Dear Tom were in mile work. MIDDLEIIAM. Lord of the Dales is as fit as Fobert can make him, but Weather Star wants more time. The Miner is in active preparation for the Great North amptonshire ; he went two miles and a half this morning in his old form, but he is very hasty. Frost galloped a mile and a half fast, and will go for the St. Liz Handicap. Bracken has been taking it quietly for the last few days. Windham and Audax went two miles, and the latter slipped up at the finish ; he did not hurt himself, however. STOOKBRIDGE. Ischia and Lady Hester, accompanied by Saville and Ines, galloped a mile and three quarters steadily, Gomera went two miles and a half by herself. Vau ban, Harpenden, Uncas, and Caucasus did a mile and three quarters quietly. The Duke was trotting only, and Distin merely cantered. John Davis took Lecturer over a couple of miles. We had a lot of two-year-olds in active exercise to-day, but the majority of them are very backward, and, we fear, exceedingly moderate. RUSSLEY. Marksman has again got into work, but at pre sent it is not fast. However, he is a light horse, and is not wanted before the Derby-day. Lidding ton is tolerably forward. Somerled, Stockstill, and Dunstaffnage are doing the most exercise hero; they galloped a mile and three quarters this morning. ILSLEY. Dunsany is exceedingly fit, Lord Lyon having schooled him well, and whatever beats him at Epsom will win the Great Metropolitan. The General continues his Two Thousand preparation, and Achievement her One Thousand. The former had a mile and three-quarters gallop to-day, and the filly went a mile and a quarter, fast. Dalby gal loped over a couple of miles ; and Union Jack, with Armadillo, about a mile and a quarter. Brown Bread was cantering only—his legs are very infirm. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PETITIONS. The Duke of A.E.GYLT., and the Earl of SHAFTESBURY presented petitions praying for the closing of ',public houses on the Sunday. Lord DUFFERIN presented a similar petition. JUDGES IN CHAMBERS. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that most of their lordships did not know what wore the functions of judges when sitting in chambers. These functions, however, very materially interfered with the ordinary routine of the judges when sitting in their respective courts; and, con sequently, as it was considered that this duty might be very well transacted by the masters of the courts, their salaries had been increased, but still the burden upon the judges was most inconvenient. He (the Lord Chancellor) had reat satisfaction in introducing a bill authorising the judges to frame such rules and regulations as they might think fit for the guidance of the masters of the respective courts in conducting the business in chambers. Alter a few remarks from Lord CRANWORTII, the bill was read a first time. THE - POET YOUNG. Lord DUFFERIN said that, with regard to the poet Young, he had heard of him at an early period of his (Lord Dufferin's) life, and was subsequently acquainted with him. Ho knew that ho had been in very humble life, but he had made a very valuable contribution to the literature of the north of Ireland, and when he fell into a state of poverty those who recognised his merit had got up a strong memorial in his favour for the coun ty, which it was proposed s hould be granted by the noble earl at the head of the Government. Both Protestants and Catholics were unanimous in recommending Mr. Young as a fit recipient of the bounty to be bestowed, he trusted that the noble lord at the head of the Government would, on all grounds, persist in granting the pension which had been proposed to be given to Mr. Young. The Earl of DERBY said that, in bestowing a pension of that description ho could not, in the position in which ho was placed only be guided by the representations of the memorialists. lie quite agreed with what had been said by the noble lord opposite about the ability which Mr. Young had displayed in the works which had been pub lished by him. After a few remarks from Lord STANHOPE and Lord LIFFOUD, the subject dropped. 'TIE VOLUNTEERS. Lord VIVIAN would ask the Under Secretary of State for War whether resolutions relative to the conduct of volunteers during civil outbreaks had yet been framed ? Lord LONGFORD said that those resolutions were about to be framed. The subject then dropped. THE IRISH CONSTABULARY. outbieak. Lord LIFFOItD, in moving for returns concerning the Irish constabulary, said that in reviewing that extraordi nary outbreak in Ireland, that the most extraordinary feature was the conduct of the Irish police. The members of that force were not derived from the middle classes, but were the children of small farmers, and throughout all the late disturbances they had b,thaved with the utmost loyalty. This showed that a few years of good treatment had irradicated those feelings which pervaded the minds of a certain section of the population. Ho (Lord :Lifford) was not ono of those who thought that there were no wrongs to redress in Ireland. He would liko to see an equality in the churches, and that the farmer should have clearer tenant rights. It showed that there was really no great dissatisfaction amongst those classes in Ireland. The curious fact which he wished to direct their attention to was the circumstances that those who had been the most determined defenders of the Govern ment in Ireland had been men springing from a class who were considered to be most hostile.

The Earl of CORK quite agreed with the remarks that had fallen from the noble earl, and was glad that her Majesty's Government proposed to mark their apprecia tion of the conduct of this constabulary. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE said that it was pleasing to contemplate the admirable manner iu which the con stabulary had conducted themselves under such trying duties as they had lately been called on to perform. (Hear, hear.) Lord KIMBERLEY expressed his great satisfaction at the conduct of the Irish constabulary, (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THIS EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. WATERFORD -ELECTION. The select committee to try the merits of the petition presented for the return for the last Waterford election was sworn at the table. NEW WRITS. On the motion of Col. TAYLOR a new writ was ordered to issue for Galway in the room of Mr. Morris. A new writ was also ordered to issue from Trinity Col lege, Dublin, in the room of Mr. Chatterton. THE REFORM BILL.. Lord ELCHO, on the part of Lord Grosvenor, gave notice that in committee on the Reform Bill he should move amendments to the effect of limiting the operation to houses of £5, and fixing the personal payment of rates at the same amount. _ . Sir E. DERING gave notice of his intention of moving an amendment, the effect of which would be to reduce the county qualification from £15 . t0 .£l2. Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice of his intention to move amendments in order to give a lodger franchise. In reply to Mr. BRIGHT, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was not aware of the rumours relative to the postpone ment of the committee on the Reform Bill until after Easter. They had not yet decided whether the bill should be read a second time, therefore, they would excuse him from fixing the time at which it would be committed. The course pursued would be strictly Parliamentary. ENGLAND AND AMERICA. In reply to Mr. SHAW LEFEVRE, Lord STANLEY said the correspondence between the two countries relative to claims arising on both sides during the war had not yet been concluded, and he there fore could not at present lay the papers on the table. He would take that opportunity of noticing a statement that bad appeared in the newspapers that communications of a vary unfriendly nature had been received by her Majesty's Government from the Government at Washing ton. There was no truth whatever in such a statement. RAILWAY DEBENTURES. Mr. CRAWFORD gave notion that to-morrow he should call the attention of the house to the present state of rail way indebtedness with respect to debentures now falling due, and also that he should move certain resolutions on the subject. In reply to Mr. WARNER, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the probable number of new £lO borough voters who would be added to the constituencies by that part of the bill which provides for the redistribution of seats, irrespective of the proposed alteration in• the franchise, would be 68,000—viz., 32,000 above, and 36,000 below £lO. THE REFORM BILL On the motion that this bill be road a second time, Mr. GLADSTONE rose, and said if the bill now before the house was to be taken as a measure upon which the opinion of the hone was to be taken as it then stood, he felt little doubt but that it would be rejected by a large majority, and much as he deprecated any such waste of time, it became necessary to read tho bill a second time ; and, therefore, he gave his assent to the bill passing that stage as a bill merely for extending and reducing the fran chise and for a redistribution of seats to a certain extent. To him it appeared that, in the present state of the represen tation, a bill to am'nd it ought to pass this session —(hear, hear) - and that measure ought to be based on a liberal enfranchisement of the labouring classes, and also that the bill ought to be so devised that it should give a fair and reasonable promise, if not of finality, at least that the effort must be looked on as fixed as other acts of Parlia ment. He could not but regret that the bitl founded on a£6 rating had been lost, because he could not but think that that was the basis on which a bill ought to be constituted. Then, again, in any bill brought forward by the Government, in order to be satisfactory, it ought to contain a lodger franchise, which the measure before the house did not contain. Then, again, when a bill proposed an enfranchisement downwards, it ought to contain provisions to prevent a traffic in votes, yet no such provision was to be found in the bill, of the Government. He had many objections to the mea sure, and in order that it might become acceptable to the house, and the great majority of the country, he thought the tax-paying portion of it ought to be struck out. The dual vote must altogether be abandoned—(hear)—and that• portion of the measure relating to the distribution of seats must be reconsidered, and provisions of an enlarged na ture introduced. Ho was of opinion that the sum set down for the want) , qualification must be reduced. With re spect to the fancy or special franchises proposed by the bill, that although on :prinicple there might be no objection, yet on a close examination it would be found that the advantages dwindled down to such an infinitessimal smallness as to become perfectly worthless. With respect to the borough fran chise, the Government with great magnanimity proposed to give household suffrage; but the immense advantage was stultified by the introduction of the principle of the dual vo te.
