f - ~_~ I . MARKET AND COMMERCIAL ENT'nLIGENCE. TWELVE O'CLOCK. At the weekly court, to-day, the directors of the Bank of England did not find it expedient to make any alteration in their minimum. The sum of £57,000 was taken to the Bank of England yesterday. The Rhone, from tho West Indies, with mails via Panama from Australia, has brought £305,256 in gold and specie. The Allemannia, from New York, also brought the sum of £36,000. The directors of the Bank of New South Wales have given notice that they are prepared to receive tenders for £92,300, part of the Tasmanian Go vernment loan for £102,500, in bonds of £lOO each, bearing interest at the rate of 6 per cent. per an num from Ist July next, payable by coupons in London at the Consolidated Bank. The principal is to be repaid on January 1, 1895. The tenders are to be opened at the Bank of 'New South Wales at one o'clock on the sth proximo. It was stated yesterday afternoon that an amal gamation was arranged between Messrs. Kinlay, Hodgson, and Co., and Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co., to commence from the Ist July next, and the business is to be continued in the name of Baring Brothers and Co. Mr. Charles Baring Young retires on the 30th instant from the former house, and Mr. Duncan James Kay and Mr. Kirkman Finlay from the latter. It is understood that the firm of Messrs. Thompson, Finlay, and Co., of Liverpool, being identical with that of Messrs. Finlay, Hodgson, and Co., of London, will, of course, be included in the arrangement. Both these houses have been largely associated with the India, China, andSpanish-American trades, and their com bined operations may lead to further successful results. The extensive connections of Baring Brothers with America are so well known that they need not the slightest reference. For the next few days this amalgamation or fusion will be the great topic of conversation, the eminent position of these firms being generally acknowledged. Mr. Thomas Baring, M.P., and Mr. Kirkman D. Hodgson, M.P., are both directors of the Bank of England. The official notification is not yet published. At the meeting of the Imperial Ottoman Bank held to-day the report submitted showed that the gross profits for the 12 months ending 31st Decem ber, 1866, amounted to £367,800, and after provid ing for expenses and bad and doubtful debts there remained a balance of £214,504 available for distribution. It was stated that the newly established agencies have all proved more or less pro fitable, and promise still most satisfactory returns. After deducting from the balance of £214,504 9s. 44. referred to in the commencement of the report, the reserve fund and per centages in accordance with the statutes, there remained a sum of £184,059 11s. Gd., of which £99,879 was distributed iu January last. The committee recommended a further payment of Bs. per share, equal to a divi dend of 9 per cent. for the year, leaving a balance of £4,277 7s. Gd. to be carried forward. Mr. William Cooper, of the firm of Cooper Brothers and Co., public accountants, was this day appointed by Vice-Chancellor R. Matins, official liquidator of the North Atlantic Telegraph Com pany (Limited.) Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures are steady at 31/ 321, and the Consolidated Mortgage Bonds at 25 251. The French mail brings advices to-day of an important and disastrous character from the Re public of Columbia. The President of the Re public had taken upon himself to dissolve the Congress, to place the country in a state of war, and to appoint himself commander-in-chief. Three of the departments had at once announced their opposition, and were raising forces to sustain their views.

Account, July 10 POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE RESULT OF EXTRAVAGANCE.—Frank Davys, a respectably-dressed young man, clerk to Mr. Timewell, tailor, of 2, Sackville-street, was charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt as follows : Sergeant Cole, C division, said—About 10 o'clock last night I saw the prisoner in %Vest-street, St. James's, with the bag produced in his hand. 1 stood for some time watching him, being in plain clothes, and saw him go into 8, West-street, a piece broker's, and take from the bag thirteen pieces of cloth and place them on the counter. I saw the shopkeeper examining the cloth, and I went into the shop, when the shopkeeper said to the prisoner, "Is this your friend ? " and he replied, " No." The shopkeeper then asked me what I wanted, and I said I was a police officer. I then told the pri soner that I was a police officer, and asked him where he got the cloth from. He said, "From my brother-in-law's, Mr. Timewell, of 2, Sackville street." I asked him if his brother-in-law allowed him to sell them, and he said " Yes ; they are waistcoat pieces." I told him that I did not believe him, and that I should take him to the police-station, and did so ; and while going along he touched me on the shoulder and said, "What am I to do; I have got into difficulties through frequent ing the Haymarket, and being gay. I owed £4, and took the cloth to make it up. It belongs to my brother-in-law." The prisoner, who seemed very dejected, said— I have no questions to ask. The Sergeant asked for a remand, stating that the prosecutor was unable to attend at present. WESTMINSTER. A REMEDY FOR HABITUAL DRUNKENNESS.—Mary Clapp, a wo►nan about 25 years of age, was charged with being drunk and disorderly. Defendant has been repeatedly charged at this court with the same offence, and has been com mitted to prison. Police constable, 62 B said that the defendant came up to him last night on Strutton Ground, Westminster, and knocked his helmet off. She had only come out of prison yesterday morning. Defendant—l was met by some friends who gave me some drink. lam very sorry. Mr. Selfe—You always say that, and yet con tinue to get drunk. Defendant—So little does it now. I've no inside. After living upon gruel in prison, it did not take much to intoxicate me. Mr. Selfe—And yet you are so fond of prison that you are no sooner sent out of it than you are in again. Defendant—l have no constitution left. Mr. Selfe—l am not at all surprised at that. Defendant—lf you let me go this time I will take the pledge. Pray let me go ; I'll take the pledge. Mr. Selfe—You won't keep it. Defendant —Bind me over, then, to be of good behaviour, I shall keep that. You bound me over before for a couple of months. I knew I must keep that ; so I did. I never touched a drop of drink all the time. Mr. Selfe—l am much gratified to find that binding over has so salutary an effect. It is very fortunate that it has. I shall now discharge you, upon your entering into recoguisances to be of good behaviour for three months. THAMES. How COALS ARE STOLEN ON THE RIVER. —Three boys, named Joseph Foley, Charles Collins, and Thomas Moytan, alias Morrison, were brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with stealing 180 lbs. of coal from a barge on the river. Inspector Read, of the Thames police, stated that the banks of the river were infested with young thieves, who plundered the coal barges to a great extent. A few nights ago a ton and a half of coals were taken from a barge moored alongside a coal wharf. Last night the prisoners were in a craft belonging to Sargeant and Green of Shadwell, taking away the best lumps, and carrying them on shore. He disposed of his boats' crew on the wharf, got on board the barge by a ladder, from which the coals were taken, and captured all the prisoners. There were 180 lbs. of coals on shore. They had been taken from the Isabella. Foley and Collins had been convicted before, and were most notorious young thieves. Mr. Partridge said the prisoners ought to have been at school, and if they were brought before him again and convicted he should send them to a re formatory and compel their parents to maintain them. He sentenced them to be imprisoned and kept in hard labour, Foley fur 3 months, Collins 2 months, and Morrison to 6 weeks. A QUARREL OVER. TILE DEAD.-1 - leiiry Manley, a tall young man, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with assaulting Fanny Manley, his brother's wife, who said that the prisoner accused her of call ing his mother a bad name last night, threw some beer over her, and then followed her into the street. She dodged him for some time, and at last he caught her and beat her about the head and face, blackened her eye and caused it to bleed. Mr. Partridge —Did you call his mother a -- ? Witness—No, I did not, sir. Mr. Gorum, for the defence, said the father of the prisoner and his brother was lying dead. There was a most unseemly quarrel over his remains last night. The prisoner did consider that bad words were used towards his mother, and he was now very sorry that in a moment of excitement he did that for which he was now very sorry indeed, and was willing to make an apology. The prisoner expressed his sorrow for using vio lence to his sister-in-law. The apology was ac cepted. He was bound over to keep the peace, and discharged. THE -- -- SUM - LONDON. . _ THURSDAY Crystal ralace.—Vestival Benefit Concert. This interesting event took place yesterday, tin der the most favourable auspices in every respect. The weather was as bright and genial as could be desired— a brilliant sun, a cloudless sky, and pleasant breezes, combining to give all those exter nal attractions which have a large influence in spite of the greatest powers of philosophical ab straction. The preliminary walk throng the grounds, radiant with June flowers smiling under the brightest of June suns, could not fail to put the mind of the audience in a special state of genial predisposition for the musical feast to follow. The fineness of the weather and the special attractions of the con cert drew so large an attendance that the result can scarcely fail to be largely conducive to the intended purpose—that of contributing to the funds for the restoration of the portion of the Crystal Palace recently destroyed. As we stated in our Monday's impression, the scheme of this festival concert was no sooner suggested than offers of assistance and co-operation poured in from all source -3, to such an extent as somewhat to embarrass the directors in the task of choice and selection. This, however, was very judiciouly exercised, and the result was a pro gramme of substantial and varied interest, the first part of which consisted of the greater portion of Mendelssohn's "Elijah ;" the second being devoted to a miscellaneous selection, partly sacred and partly secular. The orchestra comprised that of the Royal Italian Opera, together with many of the band of her Majesty's Theatre, the leading mem bers of that distinguished amateur orchestra known as the " Wandering Minstrels," besides other volun teers—altogether numbering about 350 stringed and nearly 100 wind instruments. The chorus con sisted of the London Festival chorus, that of the Royal Italian Opera, and members of various other choral societies, the aggregate number of executants being about 2,500. The ready co-operation of all these performers, of the great solo singers, and of Mr. Costa, whose skilful control guided the whole performance, was handsomely acknowledged by the directors of the Crystal Palace Company in a few lines appended to the books of the day, in which they express " their obligations and thanks to the distinguished conductor and performers at the Festival Benefit Concert, who, with the most disinterested kindness, have placed their valuable services at the disposal of the Crystal Palace for this occasion." For the accommodation of the royal and noble visitors who were expected to honour the concert with their presence, a box divided into three compartments had been erected on the stage of the theatre facing the Handel orchestra, in which the performance took place. The royal box thus improvised was fitted up with great taste, each compartment being hung with crimson and white drapery, and elegantly furnished; the approach being by a vestibule filled with beautiful plants and flowers encircling a miuia ture fountain, reflected in various surrounding mirrors. This portion of the arrangements was ad- • tnirably carried out by Mr. Wilkinson, who has the I general superintendence of the fine arts department and the flower shows at the palace. Precisely at two o'clock, the hour announced, Mr. Costa took his place at the conductor's desk ; and, with a pre- minary flourish of the side-drums, the National Anthem was sung, first by a semi-chorus of sopranos; then, in the dominant, by a semi-chorus of altos ; and, finally, in the original key, by full chorus. Then followed the overture to Mendelssohn's Oratorio, shortly before the termination of which the royal and noble visitors entered the places assigned for them and already referred to—the party including his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Prince Louis of Hesse, the Prince of Teck, Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, &c. The selection from " Elijah" comprised all the most important pieces from the oratorio. Among the many choruses selected, the splendid and dramatic invocation of the priests of Baal, the graceful and melodious " Blessed are the men," the grand and dignified " Thanks b 3 to God" and " Be not afraid," and the exquisitely melodious " He watching over Israel," were con- picuous for the admirable precision and light and shade with which they were given. The solos, by Adlle. Titiens, Mesdames Rudersdorff and Swin ton-Dolby, Mr. Sims Reeves and Mr. Santley, were given with that perfection which might be ex- petted from those excellent artistes in nunic to which they are so well accustomed. The miscel laneous selection commenced with Auber's overture to " Masaniello," played by the enormous orchestra with a power and brilliancy which at once called forth a vociferous encore. Then Madame G-risi appeared, and sang the Irish melody " The Minstrel Boy," with such point and expression that a repa _. tion was immediately demanded and as promptly accorded. The enthusiastic reception given to this artiste was such as should assure her that her many great dramatic triumphs are still fresh in remembrance. " Crude! perche," charmingly sung by Madame Lemmens-Sherrington and Signor Graziani, followed; after which Mdlle. Adelina Patti sang " Let the bright Seraphim " in those clear, resonant, and sympathetic tones, and with that exquisitely fluent execution which have before drawn down, as they did on this occasion, prolonged peals of applause. The obbligato ;rumpet accompaniment was played by Mr. Thos. darper with that pure tone and facile execution which have long placed him at the head of English trumpeters. The revolutionary duet from _ _ " Masaniello," " Sia it morir " (" Vieux vaut mourir "), splendidly declaimed by Signori Naudin and Graziani, and the great scena, the " Invoca tion to Hope," from " Fidelio," impressively given by Madame Vilda, led the way to Mr. Costa's flowing and graceful trio " Vanne a colei," which was at once encored--a tribute due to its intrinsic merit as well as to its exquisite performance on this occasion by Madame Adelina Patti, Signor Mario, and Mr. Sims Reeves. An important item in the programme was Madame Arabella God- dard's brilliant pianoforte playing in Thalberg's Fantasia on " Home, sweet home ;" after which, the prayer from Rossini's " Mose in Egitto " was sung by the chorus in a style that offered one of the best specimens of choral perf 3rmance that we have ever heard. This piece was another of the encores of the afternoon, Signor Mario's finished singing in the serenade from 'Don Pasquale;" Madame Le mmens-Sherrington's refined version of Handel's somewhat ad captandion, " Hush, ye pretty little warbling choir ;" Mr. Sims Reeves' splendid decla mation in the war song from " Judas Maccabeus," " Sound an alarm ;" Ciniarosa's lively tria from . his " Matrunonio Segreto, " Le faccio," sung with much comic point and humour by Mesdames Grisi, Ruders dorff, and Sainton-Dolby ; and Mr.Santley's admir able singing of Polyphemus's air, " 0 ruddier than the cherry" (from Han3el's " Acis and Galatea"), terminated the solo performances--the concert clos ing altogether with the trio and chorus from llandel's " Judas,"" See the conquering here." The whole arrangements of the festival were excellent in their comprehensiveness and effective administration. The orchestral details were, as at the past Handel festi vals, under the able control of the committee of the Sacred Harmonic Society ; and the local arrange ments affecting the accommodation of the public (an important point on such an occasion) were ad- nirably carried out by the energy and foresight of the manager, Mr. Bowley, and the secretary, Mr. George Grove. A whole sleet of English yachts is at this moment in the harbour of Dieppe. Amongst them are the Surf Water Kelpie, Queen, Ellen, Pantomime, Zayda, Amulet .Hine, &c. THE MURDER IN KENT.—henry Roots, the labourer who was arrested on suspicion of having caused the death of the woman whose body was found in a wood near Stoney Bridge, was again taken before the magis trates at Maidstone on Monday. The statements respect ing his having been soon near to the place where the crime was committed, and of hair having been found near the body like his, was repeated, but the bench, thinking the evidence insufficient, discharged the prisoner. WATERLOO SUBSCRIPTION. -AN AWKWARD QUESTION. —A writer in a contemporary says :—After the battle of Waterloo a very large amount of money was sub scribed for the benefit of the sufferers and survivors. More than half a century has elapsed, and but few sur vivors aro left. What was the constitution of that fund ? Was it sunk in the way of annuity to the pensioners, or did they receive the interest only ? and, if so, where is the principal, and what is the amount of it ? E VENING THE YELVERTON CASE. HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS DAY. LONGIVORTII (on YELVERTON) V. TELVERTON. Present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord Cranworth, Lord Westbury, and Lord Colonsay. Much interest was excited this morning in the House of Lords in consequence of an announce ment that Miss Longworth, alias the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton, would appear in forma pauperis before the House of Lords as appellant in this long disputed case, and would plead her own cause before their lordships. The case came before their lord ships on a very curious point. The question whether a marriage had taken place between the parties having been determined by their lordships on ihe previous appeal adversely to Miss Longworth, or, as she still claims to be Mrs. Yelverton, she applied to the Court of Session in Scotland to refer the matter to the oath of the respondent, the Hon. Major Yelverton, eldest son of Viscount Avonmore, whom she claims as her husband. The Court of Session having refused her application, the lady lodged the present appeal. The appellant, who was:dressed in a light grey silk, with a black lace shawl of peculiar material took her place at the bar. The Lord Chancellor—l thought you were to ap pear by counsel. The Appellant—My counsel has not yet appeared He is engaged in a . long case in Edinburgh, and it is very uncertain when he shall arrive. The Lord Chancellor—Do you think he his likely to arrive, because we should be sorry that your case should be prejudiced by his absence. Would you prefer to address the house yourself ? The Appellant—Yes, my lord, I should. The Lord Chancellor--Very well, proceed. The appellant then, in a firm voice, proceeded to state the circumstances under which she had pre viously been before the Courts. With reference to the particular motion she 'had to make, she said that Major Yelverton objected to being put on oath because he was accused of bigamy, and because Mrs. Forbes, a lady to whom he was married, was also interested. This argument, she contended, ought not to have any weight. She proceeded at great length to cite cases which had from time to time been before the Court, and on which she mainly rested her claims. She pointed out also from other cases that the matter might have been put to a jury, or dealt with in other ways than by a distinct refusal by the Court of Session. The Appellant—l now propose to read the speeches of the Scottish judges. The Lord Chancellor—Yes, certainly ; it is very necessary that we should hear them. The appellant then read the speeches in extenso. While she was thus engaged, the learned lords held several consultations on particular parts of the argument. The appellant then proceeded to comment on the opinions expressed by the Lord President. One of the great arguments in the court below was that Mrs. Forbes had had a judgment. But if that were the case, why should not the first wife have had the power of raising her hand in her defence ? It had been said that Major Yelverton had been married to Mrs. Forbes in facie ecclesix. Well, was he not married to Miss Longworth in facie ecclesite also ? That Major Yelvertou was married at two different altars in two different characters, bat yet before the same God, to take two women to love and to cherish till death did them part, had been proved beyond all possibility of yea and nay. But one of these marriages was :in Scotland and one in Ireland. One in a Catholic church and the other in a Protestant. Catholic 4, to whom she belonged, were not Fire Worshippers or followers of Vishnu, but they were Christians ; and adhered to the same Christ, and followed his holy teaching ; and was it because that her form of worship of the divine Saviour differed from that of another that she was to be discarded as a worthless being ? In the sight of that Saviour she was the wedded wife of Major Yelverton, and would to God the judges of the land were of the same opinion. The court below seemed to think that there had been a case of collu sion, but there could not be even a microscopical atom of suspicion of collusion in the case. She contended that " she wa3 entitled in this matter to as much consideration as Mrs. Forbes. Had not the trouble to one lady been as great as to the other? Had not the annoyance to her (the appellant) of being dragged from court to court, beyond all expression, especially when she had to defend her character against the revolting accusations of Major Yelverton while seeking to prove herself his virtuous and lawful wife? At one time, what doubt was there of the fact? None at all—and from that position she had been dragged down by Major Yelverton, and degraded to the lowest level, for what could be more abject and de grading than to be bereft of virtue and honour by the actions of one whose actions would one day be judged by that Almighty and all-seeing Providence? The appellant ridiculed the idea of a judgment which provided that Major Yelverton should not be exa- mined on oath, but he should be obliged to speak the truth. He was the only person who knew the facts of the case, and he ought to be compelled to divulge them. With regard to Mrs. Forbes, she should be glad if she was allowed to state her own case. Might she be allowed to have an order for Mrs. Forbes to appear? The Lord Chancellor (in a tono of kindness) — Not at present. You had better go on with your case. The appellant said it was not her intention to weary their lordships with a recital of her bitter wrongs and intense sufferings borne for years that would bring tears into the eyes of angels. Mrs. Yelverton seemed at this point to be almost overcome by her emotion, but she gathered courage, and proceeded in a strain of very high eloquence to tell the tale of her sorrows, and evidently excited very deep sympathy on her behalf. She next pro - ceeded to comment on the decisions of the other Scotch judges. The Lord Chancellor, at half-past twelve o'clock, said the case must be adjourned, as he was obliged to go to her Majesty's drawing-room. Meanwhile their lordships would carefully read the judgment. The case might be resumed at half-past ten o'clock to- morrow. At the close of the appellant's case the Attorney- General (with whom is Mr. Anderson) will state the case on behalf of Major Yelverton, the respondent. ROMFORD CATTLE MARKET.—Yesterday there was a brisk demand and all kinds of sheep and lambs made advanced prices. Quotations are as follows, at per stone to sink the offal: Sheep, best wether mutton, 5s 2d to 5s 4d ; middling ditto, 5s ; and coarse, 4s 4d to 4s Bd. Lambs, Gs Gd to 7s 4d.

In another week the red wheat will also shoot into ear. The barley crop looks unpro mising, yellow, sickly, and backward. Yesterday the weather was again fine in the eastern district.

Sittings at Nisi Prius, before the Lord Chief Justice and a Special Jury.) CHATTERTON V. REEVES. This was an action brought to recover compensation in damages, brought by Mr. Chatterton, the lessee of Drury lane Theatre, against the eminent tenor, Mr. Sims Reeves, for au alleged breach of bis engagement to sing for twelve nights, in the opera of "Rob Roy," as Francis Osbal distone. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, Mr. Joyce, and Mr. G. Browne appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Coleridge, Q.C., and Mr. Matthews for the defendant. The Court and hall were crowded almost to suffoca tion, a very large number of the stars of the theatrical world being present. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said that the plaintiff in this action was Mr. Frederick Balsir Chatterton, the lessee of Drury-lane Theatre, and the defendant was too well known to the public for him to do anything else than mention his name, Mr. Sims Reeves. It appeared that Mr. Chatterton, being anxious to produce the opera of " Rob Roy," had com pleted an engagement with Mr. Sims Reeves to sing for 12 nights in the character of Francis Osbsldistone in the opera of "Rob Roy" at Drury lane Theatre for £4O a night, mak ing a total sum of £lBO. At the suggestion of Mr. Reeves, the plaintiff engaged the servicas of Mr. Phelps, and also entered into negotiations with Miss Louisa Pyne, but she was prevented from accepting an engagement. After this occurrence Mr. Chatterton engaged a Miss Crosse, a most accomplished artiste, although unknown to the London public. He also engaged Mr. Powrie to take the part of "Rob Rey." Of course the jury must be all aware of the great expense attendant upon engagements like that, and gentlemen like the plaintiff risked their money in order to gain some amouut of profit. In case, then, there was a breach of faith on the part of any of the persons so engaged, it must involve a loss on the part of the manager, and he was sorry to say that artistes in the position of Mr. Sims Reeves, who perhaps stood alone as a great English singer, and no one could admire him more than he did, were very often tyran nical in their dealings with mauagers, and frequently caused them to be losers. Consequently, then, when all the preparations were made, and the announcement had gone forth to the public that Mr. Sims Reeves would appear in the Opera, and when at the last minute he communicated with Mr. Chatterton, announcing that he could not fulfil his engagement, it caused that gentleman not only to lose considerably by the withdrawal of the name of Mr. S. Reeves, but also in the fact that he was obliged to keep faith with the public, produce the opera and engage Mr. Harrison. For compensation for the injury Mr. Chatterton now sought to recover damages. The learned counsel then stated that he should show by the letters that h ad p assed between them, and by other oral evidence, that there was no foundation for the plea of ill health. Chat torton, who produced the letters relating to the negotiation and first witness called was the manag er of Mr. tion and agreement. After hearing some further evidence, to i b l e he se jrY ga ve t u tled by a rb a i v ti e .a r t d io ic n t . for the plaintiff, the damages LILLY V. EARL OF CARDIGAN'. This case was resumed to - day , and, after the learned Judge had summed up the eviderce, The jury late in the afternoon, after being in deliberation some time, returned a verdict for the plaintiff, with £4OO damages, in addition to the amount (.£45) paid into court. The Judge asked the jury whether they thought the letter containing the cheque had been given to the plain tiff, or whether Haynes had changed the note for Lilley, or whether the plaintiff had answered the questions put to him in an unsatisfactory manner. l The foreman replied to tho first q uestion the y wer e not of that opinion; with resp ect to the second, tha t Haynes did not change the note for Lilley; and, as tothe third q uestion, they were of opinion that he did not do so. Mr. Garth, as counsel for Earl Cardigan,asked for to move to enter the verdict for the plaintiff as arranged yesterday. yesterday._ His Lordship granted tke application. The Foreman of the jury was about to make some fur ther observations, when His Lordship said—Don't make another remark, gentle men; one unconsidered word from you may involve the poor man in unforeseen trouble before he gets his £4OO. TRANSPORT AND SUPPLY OF THE ARMY. Earl DE GREY and RIPON called the attention of the house to the report of the committee on the transport and supply department of the army and to ask the Under- Secretary of St a t e f or War what course the Government intended to take with reference to the recommendations in favour of the consolidation of . the administrative departments of the army and the establishment of a single department of Control. He stated that undoubtedly the greatest attention ought to be paid to.so vital a question as the ono he now introduced. In the Crimean war we were in a far b e t ter position than any nation in respect to the transport and supply of the army, but we should have stood in a much better position if we had paid greater attention to it before. With regard to all departments, he thought that they would be much more satisfactorily administered if they were under the control of ono great officer. In 1865 he prepared a scheme which would have ac complished the effect desired, and the com mittee had based their report upon that scheme, but it had been his good fortune to see it carried out. It was evident that great and unavoidable confusion must arise when there were several departments all scattered about and separate from one another. They had before them the evidence of Captain Gordon that with regard to the transport and supply departments of the army, that if a great war were to break out the utmost confusion would prevail. The fact could not be otherwise when a commissariat of ficer must be - a " Jack of all trades," and that there was no harmony between the various branches of the transport service at all, although strict regularity in these departments was more valuable in war than anything else. The whole of the foreign system should be imitated and great regard paid to the competency of the commissariat officers. In favour of the plan proposed their lordships had the approval of the most distinguished offi cers in the army, Lord Strathnairn Sir Hope Grant, and many other eminent military men. The plan was that there should be • one single department, and a board at the head of that department. The offi cers of the Store departments look more, most natu rally, to the head of their department, instead of the chief of the whole, and it was absolutely necessary for checking the'expenditure and waste, and unpreparedness of the whole departments, that there should be a Board of Supervision. In conclusion, he would ask them what was the good of great and excellent commanding and other officers in the field, unless they were able to feed and accommodate the army ?—aud they could alone do this with an efficient commissariat. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.-THIS EVENING. The Loun CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE ROYAL COMMISSION. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said that with re gard to certain statements that had been made with re ference to certain measures taken by the members of the Royal commission appointed to enquire into ritualistic pur poses were totally without foundation, and that no person had received any information from . any member of the Royal commission as to what took place within their own walls, or had been authorised to give it circulation. LUNACY (SCOTLAND) BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in moving the second reading of this bill, said that the bill had become neces sary in consequence of the unfortunate exclusion of a clause relative to the time of notice that should be given to the Lunacy Commissioners, as to the question of a person's sanity or not, and it was found that the present notice was not sufficient. The hill was read a second time. THE NAVAL STORES BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. (LEFT SPEARING..) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This EVENING. The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to:—Cardiff and Penarth Road, Crick howell Gas and Water, and Ne a th an d Brecon Railway. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Bodmin Railway; and Lampeter, Liandyssil, &c., Gas. POSTAL COMMUNICATION. Mr. GRAVES asked the Secretary to the Treasury, if any arrangements had been made, or are in contemplation to be made, for the conveyance of mails b e t ween t h e United Kingdori and Nassau, Bermuda, and the British. North American Provinces, on the expiration of the pre sent contract in December next. Mr. HUNT said an arrangement was in contemplation, but it bad not yet been completed. REMOVAL OF TROOPS. Colonel S. KNOX asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was the case that on the 11th and 12th inst., de tachments of troops en route to Liverpool from Chatham were conveyed to the Great Northern station, King's-cross, Lon don, by the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway ; that on their arrival at King's-cross they were marched, together with their baggage, to Euston Station, and sent on to Liver pool by the London and North Western Railway ; and whether, if instead of marching to Euston Station, they had been forwarded to Liverpool from King's-cross by the Groat Northern Railway, they would have performed the journey without change of carriage or transhipment of baggage for the same fares as by the London and North Western Railway. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he did not think the matter a case of hardship, and the reason the troops did not go by the Great Northern Railway was that, if that had been done, a larger amount of travelling expenses would be come payable to the soldiers. The distance of march was only half a mile, and he did not think that the extra expense to the country ought to be incurred for so short a march. ECCLESIA.TICAL TITLES ACT. Mr. NEWDEGATE asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether the attempt to proceed with the nomination of the select committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Act, ttc., at late hours of the night, when the members of this house are exhausted, had the sanction of her Majesty's Ministers; and whether they will use their influence to prevent the members of this house being subjected to this annoyance. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he could not agree with the hon. gentleman. The hon. mem ber was not, of course, able to move for the appointment of the committee out of the usual order of business, and if that occurred at a late hour the hon. member was not responsible for that. Mr. BOUVERIE thought the terms in which the ques tion had been put on the paper by the hon. member for Warwickshii e was objectionable. Mr. M'EVOY defended himself againtt the charge of creating annoyances to hon. members. It was as incon venient to him to have so frequently to postpone the motion as it could be to any hon. member. REPRESENTATION OF THE PEOPLE BILL. Mr. GLADSTONE asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether he could give any further information to the house as to the rating area of the new boroughs before the house went into a discussion on the subject. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCIiEQUER said he believed there was already a return giving the required information, but if there was not he would u ndertake to have the information furnished. The house then went into committee on the bill. The discussion was resumed on the new 31st clause, appointing the boundary commissioners, and defining their powers. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS moved an amendment to the effect that persons who had acted as election agents should not be qualified to act as assistant commissioners. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if the Goverament were to have the appointment of theirassistant commissioners they certainly would not appoint to that responsible office persons who bad acted as election agents, and he had no reason to believe that the commissioners would be less discreet than the Government, He there fore objected to the proposed amendment. The amendment was withdrawn. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER moved the following clause in lieu of clause 37 :—" Whereas it is expedient to amend the law relating to offices of profit the acceptance of which from the Crown vacates the seats of members accepting the same, but does not render them incapable of being re-elected: be it Enacted, that where a person has been returned as a mem ber to serve in Parliament since the acceptance by him from the Crown of any such office of profit as aforesaid, the subsequent acceptance by him from the Crown of any other such office or offices, in lieu of and in immediate succession the one to the other, shall not vacate his seat." Mr. AYRTON suggested that the particular offices affected by this clause was to enumerate them in a sche dule and attach them to the bill. Mr. HENLEY objected to the new clause altogether.
