MO NEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENrt In the g TWELVE O'CLOCK. eneral discount market there is no material change to report. There continues to be a mode rate inquiry for accommodation, and previous rates are maintained, viz., at 11 1 per cent. In the corn market to-day business remains very quiet, and last Monday's current rates for home grown and foreign wheat are barely maintained. Barley, oats, beans, and peas are a shade cheaper, Ichile flour remains without change in value. The liquidators of the Imperial Mercantile Credit AssociAion have arranged with the creditors to accept the balance of their claims in six equal half- Year ly payments, with interest at 5 per cent. per araum. The mail from Guayaquil has brought a remittance of £529 is. 9d on account of th e di v id en d s on t h e debt o f Ecuador. The A.nglo-Argentine Company have issued a Prospectus requiring a capital of £50,000 in shares o f LI each. It is intended to purchase silver mines, s melting an d reduction works, at Hidalgo, in San J uan, a province of the Argentine Republic. The mines and works are to be transferred without all Y cash payment whatever, except the amount ex pended on them viz., £45,000 being taken 11P by the p ar ti es i nterested entirely in paid-up shares, not to be issued until a dividend of 20 per c ent• shall have been earned out of profits upon the Ot her paid-up capital of the company. The works are i n a state of perfect efficiency, requiring only lorganisation to commence at once operations on a a rge scale. A ccording to the last advices they are w Yielding a large percentage of profit on the re stricted and altogether inadequate funds with which t hey ar e b e i ng carried forward. A new feature in th e arrang ements is that the share certificates can be converted into share warrants, which will be transferable without any transfer deed. A meeting was held to-day of the Central Argen tine Railway Company far the purpose of autho rising the issue of the remainder of the capital of the r com pany, and t o g i ve d i rections as to the mode iss ne. Of the amount required, £600,000, the I,l'e•entineGovernment, duly authorised by Congress, has subscribed for 15,000 shares at par, equivalent talebentures by .300,000. The remaining moiety will be taken .Y Ahura. Beassey, Wythes, and Wheelwright in of the company at par, bearing interest ~t 7 per cent. The period for the completion of the line has been extended to the 31st December, 1868. r°lll the manufacturing districts the accounts stnitte that during the past week there has not been „. 4 , e1l animation exhibited.

That magnificent racehorse, who could beat his stable companion, the famous Fisherman, at even weights, and who stands to-day one of the most splendid specimens of the thorough-bred horse that ever was seen, will soon be in request over the water. Wo look upon our prediction as already fulfilled. Reports have gone across as to the get of Leamington in this country, and the great promise of the filly out of Jerusalem, the colt of Nantura, and others, is already known. Besides that, wo find by our latest files that the produce of Leaming ton won five times in England, Ireland, and Scotland, in the week ending October 26th. Coup d'Etat, a two-year-old, began at the Newmarket Houghton Meeting by winning a match for 150 sovereigns. On the same day, Cheltenham, three years old, won a handicap of 200 sovereigns ; sixty-five subscribers. Ho carried 1161 b., and, after a dead heat with Speculum, won the deciding heat. At the same meeting Catalogue won a handicap sweepstakes of ten sovereigns each and two hundred added. At the Caledonia Hunt Meeting, Holstein, another son of Leamington's, won a sweepstakes handicap. To conclude, at the Maze Races in Ireland, Beechwood, by Leamington, a four-year-old, can ying 1.711b5., ran second to Josephine for the Brow nlow Cup ; and on the same day won the Hunters' Stakes of 3 sous each, play or pay, and 30 added, a mile and a half, carrying 171 lbs. This is the fellow to make a hurdle-racer and steeplechaser of. These five successes for the sons of Leamington in one week were very remarkable, as he has but few running, many of his get having been sent to the Continent of Europe. At the Clifton sale, on the 19th, Leamington will be the admired of all observers. Those who have never before seen him will open their eyes wide when he lunges out of his box, sixteen two in height, great bone and power, even-spun all over, and full of quality and finish.--11 7 llkes' Spirit of the Times. GEORGE WILKES AND FEARNOUGHT.—Theso famous stallions aro matched to trot next week at Boston, for $l,OOO a side. The race will be mile heats, three in five, to waggons. The match has caused considerable interest. Both the horses were in the stud during the spring and §Up2Laer.--- 6:pirit V* Times.

The silo for wheat in most of the country markets held on Saturday was very inactive, nevertheless prices were fairly supported. All kinds of spring corn - wore dull, and rather cheaper. Continental advices state that vrhoat , and most other kinds of produce aro selling at full quotati , ons. The ship ments of produce from America continuo on a largo scale. The stocks, however, aro increa,ing. The imports into London last week were-35,420 quar ters of wheat, 5,014 barley, 110,718 oats, 5 beans, 1,454 peas, 1,000 tares, 7,895 linseed, 3,748 rapeseed, 1,000 sun dries, and 1,767 sacks of flour. MThe supply of Euglisli wheat - here to-clay, coastwise and by land carriage, was only moderate, but in fair average condition. A few parcels were disposed of for consump tion in Yorkshire, at prices equal to Monday last ; but town millers purchased cautiously, anti to have forced sales lower prices must'have been submitted to. Foreign wheat, the show of which, was good, met a du': inquiry, and the quotations were with di l'culty supported Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at about last week's quotations. Good malting was held at full prices, but grinding and distilling sorts were fully Is. per quarter lower. Malt was a slow sale, and the turn cheaper. The supply was moderately extensive. Owing to the large arrivals oats declined is, to 2s. per quarter, compared with this day se'nnight. Beans were very dull, and ls. to 2s. per quarter lower than last week. The sale for peas was heavy, at ls. to 2s. per quarter less money. The salo for both English and foreign flour was heavy, and prices were with difficulty supported. Agricultural seeds, as well as cakes, were a dull sale, on former terms.

THE COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCI (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice Blackburn IN RE NORTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. Mr. Horace Lloyd applied for a mandamus against the North-Eastern Railway Company, call ing upon them to show cause why they should not register two separate transfers of the stock into the name of Mr. Robinson Watson. He states that the facts connected with this application were lengthy and intricate, but he would as simply as possible detail them to the court. A Mr. Jackso❑ had 1,600 shares in the year 1853 in a railway, which had since merged into the North-Eastern Railway. In May of that year, however, he mort gaged these shares for £lO,OOO to the Argus, and they were held in the names of trustees then appointed. Some time after this the railway in question was, by an act of Parliament, wound up and amalgamated,. and the shares were vested in the names of fresh trustees. Finally, the mortgage was taken up by Mr. Robinson Watson, and although they were worth something like £20,000, there was no knowledge as to where they had got to since their transfer from the Argus. Mr. Justice Blackburne—l think it right to in form you that lam one of the defendants. I sup pose that is of no consequence. Mr. Lloyd—Not in the least, my lord ; it canit affect me. The learned counsel then contended that he was entitled to have the 1,600 shares of West Hartlepool Railway Stock registered. Rule granted. IN RE THE BOROUGH OF SCARBOROUGH. Mr. Bayliss applied for a quo warranto as to why the election of Mr. Alfred Joh❑ Ingwell as a town councillor should not be set aside on the following grounds. It appeared that at the last ward election 281 votes were registered for Mr. Ingwell, and 279 for a Dr. Jackson, and the reason why he had asked for this rule was, that there had been a personation amongst the voters for Mr. Ingwell of two persons who had died in 1866, and another who was at sea. He had furnished complete affidavits upon this and all the other points. Mr. Justice Blackburn—ls there no other point ? Mr. Bayliss—Yes, there is the case of a John Inskip, who voted for the north and the south, too, which was also illegal. Mr. Justice Blackburn—Cannot they vote for both wards ? Mr. Bayliss—No, my lord ; such voting wi vitiate both votes. The rule granted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, INIARLBOROUGH-STREE T. ATTACK ON THE POLICE.—IMPRISONMENT WITH• OUT FlNES.—Michael Whorty, au Irish labourer, was charged before Tyrwhitt with assaulting police constable Lane, 216 D, and Surry, 30 D. Police constable Lane said—l was on duty yes terday afternoon in Oxford-street, between Duke- street and Orchard-street, when 1 saw the prisoner and about 20 or 30 others, all of whom were snore or less drunk, standing together on the pavement. I requested them to go away, when the prisoner said, " We will not go till we think proper, and we will let you chaps see that you can't do as you like." I told him that if he did not move I should be obliged to take him into custody, and he then made use of disgusting language, upon which I took him into custody. After going about 200 yards the prisoner succeeded in releasing him self, and kicked me on the legs, and struck me in the face several times, and 00 another con stable coming to my assistance the prisoner also kicked him, and a crowd then got round us, and we were pelted with stones. I can hardly walk from the kicking the prisoner gave me. It required four of us to get the prisoner to the station, and on the way ono of the prisoners came up and whistled, and then we were pelted with stones by thu crowd, and 30 D had his head cut open. ➢lr. Tyrwhitt—He (the prisoner and his com panions) formed part of the procession to the park. Lane—The prisoner and his companions had come from the park, and had possession of the pavement, so that no one could pass without going into the road. Prisoner— Was I drunk or sober ? Lane—Drunk, and you made use of very bad language. Police-constable Surry, 30 D.—l was on duty yesterday afternoon in Oxford-street, and saw 216 D surrounded by a crowd, and no one could pass. I went up and asked the prisoner why he did not go away as 216 D requested him to do, when he made use of a most filthy expression. 216 D then took him, and after going a short distance he struck 216 D several times in the face and kicked. I then seized hold of him, when he kicked me several times in the lower part of the body. While holding the prisoner by the collar one of the prisoner's com panions from behind gave me a severe blow on the back of the hand, and on our getting into Wigmore-street the crowd again pelted us with stones, and a large stone struck me on the back of the head, cutting it and causing it to bleed, and I was obliged to go home in consequence. Prisoner--I went to the meeting in the park, and met two young men, and went into a public house at half-past two. On leaving the house when they were closing we went across the road and met some more chaps just after coming out of another public-house. Thero were a good many of us standing there at the time, and the police wanted us to go on, and took more notice of me than the others, and pulled me about; but I was not drunk, as they say. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are one of those violent fel lows about London ready for any possible mischief which could be found. You will be committed for fourteen days for each assault. There will be no fine at all, and you will have hard labour. BOW-STREET. Anne Munt, a decrepit -looking old woman, was brought up in custody of Police-sergeant F 13, charged with begging, at the instance of Woodup, who, knowing her of old, wished to avoid any altercation which might arise if he took her himself. The prisoner was sent to prison for one month. WESTMINSTER. ALLEGED IMPROPER APPREHENSION AND FALSE EVIDENCE BY A PoLicir.max.—Clara Bell, a, respectable-looking girl, was charged with soliciting men in the street for the purpose of prostitution. Robert Randall, 57 T, said that on S atur d ay night he was on duty in the King's-road, Chelsea, and saw the prisoner go up to two gentlemen and accost them for the purposes of prostitution. The gentlemen pushed her away, and he took her into custody, as there had been complaints of this sort of conduct. Mr. Selfe—What do you know of the defendant? Randall—l have known her for six or seven years about Chelsea as a servant girl, but for the last fortnight I have seen her about the streets with women of loose character. Defendant—l deny that I spoke to any gentle men, and I have a friend here to prove it. I found this constable drinking in a publichouse with a man and woman named Trimby, and I made a remark about their crippled son, and then this constable followed me out and took me into custody, and when Mrs. Skinner my friend interfered ho struck her, and she fell and cut ber eye. The sergeant who took the charge at the station said—When the defendant was asked what she was she said she had been a prostitute for a fortnight. Defendant--I know nothing about it. Mrs. Skinner—l was with her at the public-house. I never left her, and I swear that she never spoke to any gentlemen. When this constable charged her I said she had done nothing and should not go, and then he gave me a blow which made me fall and cut my eye. Randall having admitted that Mrs. Skinner wag a respectable woman, and that he had been in the public-house, Mr, Selfe discharged the accused. CURRENCY PER DIP.

There was abaut an average time-of-year supply of fo reign stock on offer here to-day. On the whole the demand ruled steady, at very full prices to a slight advance. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up this morning were only moderate. The general condition of the stock, however, was good. The receipts from Ireland and Scotland wore rather limited. Although the trade was by no means active, prices, compared with Monday last, advanced 2d per 81b. The best Scots and croszes realised bs 2d per 81b. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to about 1,800 short horns &c. ; from other parts of England, 620 various breeds ; from Scotland, 38 Scots and c rosses; an d from Ireland 170 oxen, cows, &c. , The show of sheep was only moderate. For most breeds there was a fair inquiry, at 2d per 81b more money. Th o best Downs and half-breds sold at 5s per 81b.

Merry may be congratulated upon havingbrought to a satisfactory conclusion one of the largest Autumn Meetings ever held at Warwick, whether as regards large fields, the quality of the competitors, or the number of the visitors who were attracted to the last race gathering of the season. The principal race, the Midland Counties Handicap, run on Thursday,was won easily by Blinkhoolie, who defeated a field of seventeen runners with consum mate ease, and, had he been kept in reserve, would most likely have proved good enough to win one or two of the principal spring handicaps. He is advertised to be disposed of by Messrs. Tattersall to-day, but I should question if Mr. Chaplin will be inclined to part with him after his success last week. Weather permitting, the programme of Croydon bids fair to afford three capital days' sport, and I am glad to see the number of events is limited to five per diem, which amply sufficient to get through comfortably during those Alert afternoons. From the thirty-six horses nominated is the Stewards' Plate a large field may bo anticipated, and of these I must content myself by naming —STANDARD BEARER, THE GUIDE, and HELICE as likely to produce the winner, each of whom I fancy in the order named. For the Grand National Hurdle Race some twelve of the eighteen acceptances will be likely to be found at the post, but good as Marie Louise has proved herself lately she has too much weight for my fancy on this occasion, and as LISTON is ono of the best looking horses in the race and leniently treated by the handicapper ho must be my selection. SERIOUS CASE and OLDMINSTER appear to me the most attractive names in the Steeplechase Sweepstakes, and I should recommend ADVERTISEMENT in the Hunters' Stakes. The Great Metropolitan Steeplechase is the only race complete for analysis on Wednesday, and . as there are twenty-seven " contents" left in to contest this valuable priz , , all of whom read to have a chance, a great amount of speculation is sure to take place on the result. Chimney Sweep is instdlled first:favourite, and deservedly so from the easy style in which he squandered a largo field at Warwick last Friday. There aro half a dozen horses handicapped above him in the race, but none of them are likely in my estimation to produce the winner. Iu fact I do not see anything likely to beat Lord Coventry's re presentative, unless it is The Doctor and Sprite. The former is a good horse when wanted, but as this may not be his journey I prefer standing CHIMNEY SWEEP and SPRITE, ono of whom I confidently anticipate will fnr- Dish the winner. Concerning the Croydon Cup, a weight for age race, on Thursday, BENAZET Or ASTROLABE ought to win. A FRESH MAN. H. KELLEY AND J. SADLEa. MATCH FOR £3OO A-SIDE AND THE CHAMPIONSHIP. The great scullers' match of the seasog will take place on Wednesday next, at half-past two o'clock in the after noon, the distance to be rowed being over the Champion ship course (about 4 miles 3 furlongs), from Putney to Mortlake. Both men are in the best of health and condition, and one of - the greatest aquatic contests on record may be anticipated. H. Kelley is supported by a host of friends, and conse quently first favourite, although at trifling odds, as 6 to 4 would be freely taken about his opponent's chance. He has in the course of a long career d•feated all the best talent that could be brought against him. Sailer, how ever, will be found a worthy antagonist, and possesses the advantage of youth, being some seven or eight years younger than Kelley. This year he has shown great im provement in all his matches, both as regards pace and form, and when he rowed Chambers last year he was ad mitted to be nearly as good as his present rival. Since then he has defeated Kelly over a two mile course at the Paris Regatta; and although excuses aao made on the latter's behalf the question as to whether it was tho fluke many of the champion's supporters seem to think, will now be satisfactorily settled. His match with Percy at King's Lynn in September proves his ability to stay, and that he possesses the necessary speed. He is now located at pri vate apartments in the High-street of Putney, in company with Pedgrift (who rows his match to day), George liammerton, and May, and will come to the post in fine fettle. A now boat has been built for him by Jewitt, of Dunstan, Newcastle-upon-Tyne; but I expect Kelley will turn out the winner. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—(Tnis EvaNixo.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack al five o'clock. THE ABYSSINIAN EXPEDITION. Earl GRANVILLE said that what ho wanted to ask for was some further information as to what had been done with regard to the Abyssinian question, and although they had 500 pages already before them, still he thought they ought to have even every scrap of paper that was in the India Office. There had been a corre spondence presented as to whether a surgeon should take his valet with him or not. He did not complain that the Government should furnish thorn with superfluous in formation as to the individual comforts of the troops, but he thought that the house ought to be furnished with every particular. Tho reason that the Government had been induced on the 19th of August to undertake the ex pedition was that on the 13th of that month they had re ceived information that induced them to believe that it would be attended with success. row, he could not see anything that should lead to such a supposition, and in the Times it was also remarked that it could not be Sir John Durand's note, nor could he think so either. Therefore he would ask the noble earl to have these important documents circulated among the members of the house. The Earl of DERBY said that the notice which was sent to the Earl of Malmesbury by the noble Earl was a question whether there would be any objection to lay a certain document relating to this information before the house, and that was all that he (the noble earl) knew of the matter, and as far as he knew there was uo objection to such a course, but ho would ask the noble earl to wait until the matter was fully discussed, when, no doubt, the matter would be satisfactorily explained. Tho subject then dropped.] THE POSTAL COMMUNICATION WITH INDIA. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY put a question to the Postmaster-General as to what was the intention of the Government respecting the proposed renewal of the con tract with the Peninsular and Oriental Co., and the intended arrangement fur the postal communication with India. who was understood to say that there were routes that gave no more facilities than the one at present adopted. The Duke of MONTROSE said that there was suffi cient time for any company to have tendered, but they had not one offer to do any service, and it was only the Orien tal Company that did offer, and they offered to do the whole. The noble lord had said that it was a high rate, but in the first instance there had been a refusal to take the offer; then it was thought that an extension of time would be better, and therefore it was extended to 12 years. By this means in 12 years they had saved £1,200,000. He did not now see how they, could better this arrangement. It was for the House of Commons to say whether they would pay a high rate for a short period or a low rate for a long period, but by the new arrange- Eaeut they Tictulcl lloY9 52 woil§ yesx irtotcod of 0; the mail to Bombay would be the sante, and that to China also, an d th ey should have tha satisfaction of knowing that the mails would be a day or two earlier. The voyage is now being made much quicker b' a route through the Straits of Messina. Ile was induc4d for these reasons to believe that the arrangements nth the company was considered highly satisfactory. ThEau cw contract would begin on the Ist of February. The subject then dropped, and the house adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS (Tms EVENING.) The SPL'AKEi took the chair at four o'clock. PUBLIC SCHOOLS. On the motion of Mr. LOCKE a copy of the letter written by Mr. Ayrton to the President of the Counnil. on the subject of metropolitan Public schools was orarzed. Cal/Will RATES.

LLOYD asked the Secretary of State for Foreign, Affairs whether his attention had been drawn to a state ment in tho newspapers of a domiciliary visit having been made, by order of the Papal Government., at the house of . Mr. Odo Russell, our acknowledged agent at Rome ; 1 1 , ,d asked what steps the noble lord intended to take if such report was substantiated. Lord STANLEY said what had occurred on th'i subject was briefly as follows :—Ou Saturday, the 9th, Mr. Odo Russell being at Florence, the residence that gentleman occupied at Rome was searched, in order to ascertain whether it contained arms, but Mr. Russell's papers and Looks were not interfered with. Immediately on Mr. Rus sell's return to Rome he waited on Cardinal Antonelli with a view to some explanation, and he then learned that no perquisitiou had been issued for the search of Mr. Russell's residence ; but as it was one of the palaces marked down by the revolutionary committee to be blown up with gunpowder, was searched not on account of suspicion, but. with a view of taking measures for the safety of the mates. Mr. Russell had expressed himself perfectly sa' z i s _ fled with the explanation, and he (Lord S6anley) concurred in that view. THE CURRAGH CAMP. Lord E. CECIL asked the Secretary of State for War whether the attention of the War Department had been drawn to the wretched state of the vagrant - population Fa. the immediate neighbourhood of the Curragh Camp, Pad whether it was the intention of the Government this ses sion to extend the provisions of the Contagious Difiea ses Act to all camps and garrison and seaport towns in the United Kingdom. Sir J. PAKINGTON said his attention had been drawn to the wretched state of the camp, but the powers of the War-office were limited to the extent of tho camp; the local authorities were accountable for all matters beyond the limit. It was intended to take steps to extend the powers of the Irish police to meet the case. With respect to the other part of the question he could not give him any information until the working of the act where hos pitals had been erected was ascertained. POOR LAWS. Mr. CANDLISII asked the Secretary to the Poor-law Board if it was his intention to introduce a bill this Session to consolidate and amend the laws for the relief of the poor'. Mr. S. BOOTH said it was his intention to introduce a bill for the amendment of the law, but not a consolidation of it. An attempt at consolidation at the present time would bo premature. RITUALISM. Mr. MONK asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether he was prepared to state what course her Majesty's Government propose to take with a view to carry out the rocomineudations contained in the first Roport of the Ritual Commissioners. Mr. HARDY said at present her Majesty's Government had not decided upon any course, as the report of the commissioners was not sufficiently full to•enable the Go., vernment to do so. WAR SHIELDS. General DUNNE asked the Secretary of State for War whether he would lay upon the table of the house the report of the committee which had lately tested the target known a 3 the Gibraltar shield, and whether 34 of those shields had, previous to the trial, been sent to Gibraltar and other fortresses in our colonies? Sir J. PAHINGTON said he had no objection to lay the report alluded to on the table. It was quite true that some of those shields had been sent abroad without any Previous trial, but that was caused by the expedition re quired for them being sent away. One of the shields had been tried, and it had, he believed, turned out unsuccessful. A committee, however had been appointol to inquire into the whole of the ciremnal L ees conn.xted with the failure, and to report what itnpro emeuts were required. DISTrRi3ANOES IN CRETE. 31r. POWELL . asked th 3 Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any correspondence respecting the dis turbances in Crete had taken place since dates of papers already presented to Parliament ; whether it was in tended to lay upon the table any further papers on this subject previous to tho Christmas re cess; and whether, should there have been such correspondence, communications had passed between the Porte and the British Government respecting these events or the future settlement of the island. Lord STANLEY said some further correspondence had taken place, and he should be prepared to lay the papers on the table in the .course of a few days. With respect to the second part of the question, he must refer the hon. gentleman to the papers themselves. POOR IN WOBKHOUSES. Mr. GOSCHEN asked the Secretary of the Poor Law Board whether the attention of the Board had been di rected to the defects alleged by the Commissioners of the British Medical Journal to exist in the Clifton and Bedminster workhouse infirmaries, and to the expressed desire of the guardians of Bedminster and Clifton that the state of these houses should form the subject of a formal Poor-law inquiry ; and whether the Board propose to order such an inquiry ? Mr. BOOTH said there was no intention of issuing a formal inquiry into the arangements of the two places mentioned, but such steps as tho matter required would be taken. BRITISH MUSEUM. Mr. LAYARD asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was his intention to propose during the present session of Parliament any measure for the better adminis tration of the British Museum and other institutions in the United Kingdom connected with science and art ?, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said Lo had no intention of bringing in such a bill. He was at present engaged on a smaller measure which would ne cessitate the separation of some of the collections— which measure was promised last year. FRENCH EXHIBITION. Mr. LAYARD asked the Secretary to the Treasury whether the sum of X 5,000 voted by Parliament for pur chases of objects in the Paris Exhibition, in consequence of a report of the select committee appointed last session had been expended; and if not, why Hot ? Lord R. MONTAGU said the purchase was only to be made out of the saving of the sum voted last year which the hon. member had mentioned. That saving had only amounted to 41,475, and that sum had only boon ex pended. MAILS TO INDIA. Sir H. R..9.WLIIiSON asked the Secretary to the T rea sury whether, in the event of the new proposed contract with the Peninsular and Oriental Company for the mail service to the East being approved by the Legislature, it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to increase the rates of postage on overland letters between England and India? Mr. HUNT said it was announced last session that when the improved postal system came into operation the post age of letters would ba increased by 3d. per half ounce, and that intention still remained. OCCUPIERS OF SMALL TENEMENTS. Sir W. HUTT asked the Attorney-General whether. under the provisions of the Representation of the People Act, the overseers of the poor required to place on the rate-book ~the names of all the occupiers of tenements whose ,rates before the passing of that act were paid by the owner, according to the provisions of the Small Tene ment Act ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL referred the hon. gentleman to the interpellation clause of the Reform Bill, which fully met the question, and where it did not the occupiers would have to be placed on the rate-book. STREET REGULATIONS ACT. On the motion for the second reading of the bill for the amendment of the Street Regulations Act, Mr. AYRTON objected to the provision of the bill which enacted that only costerrnoegers should be allowed to expose their goods on certain vacant spaces in front of houses and other places. Shopkeepers had a better righ t to use these tpaceg, and he could not see why such a pri vilege should be given to persons who did not pay heavy rates and taxes. Mr. HARDY said he did not see that the bill at all in terfered with the rights of property. Tho original clause was one of such extreme stringency that to put it into operation as it stood it bad been found that the groates hardships would be occasioned ; therefore, to meet the case, the present bill had been introduced, which gave powers to the police to allow goods to be exposed for sale by street hawkers under certain regulations. Sir G. BOWYER said last session the question of Re form had so absorbed attention that other things had been passed over most hurriedly, and the present bill was the result of this hssty legislation. He thought the best thing to do was to repeal the sixth section of the original bill altogether, and in committee he should be prepared to move the omission of the clause. After a few words the bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Thursday. THE ABYSSLNIAN EXPEDITION. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER laid on the table a proposition for a vote of credit for £2,000,000 for the expenses of the expedition to Abyssinia. - Tl.lO lAN §o thou adjourned. ------~. share; 20 8t 8t 100 ISE, 100 too 100 all 100 100 40 i 1101 161 i 102, 11 $8 74 9-19
