MONEY MARKET AND IOMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE TWErLVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market to-day the trans actions have been limited, and the rates remain steady. There was an influx of £7,000 at the Bank of England on Saturday afternoon. Notice has been given that it is necessary the holders of Exchequer Bills, dated 11th March, 186'2, who desire to have them exchanged for new bills, should deposit them with the Bank of England to day. Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. have received a remittance on account of the New Granada Debt of £1,560 11s. 10d. from the Custom House of Cartagena. The progress of business in the manufacturing districts during the past week has been very in active, and little improvement can be reported. At Manchester cloths and yarns have barely maintained former prices, although manufacturers and spinners do not press sales. In the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield only a moderate in quiry has prevailed for goods suitable for immediate home requirements. The hosiery and lace depart ments of Leicester and Nottingham have remained Without change of importance, while at Birming ham dullness has been the prevailing feature in most d epartments. The iron trade of Wolverhampton and its immediate neighbourhood, however, has shown symptoms of improvement, and the opera tives generally are now well employed. Atlantic and Great Western Railway Debentures have declined 1, to 29 31, and tha Consolidated Mortgage Bonds 1, to 23i 24g. The Marequeta and New Granada Mining Com pany (Limited) have received advices, of which the following is an abstract :—" Santa Anna Mines for the month of December. Amount of ore produced for amalgamation, 50 tons. No profit and loss ac count received. The Superintendent writes under date January 22, 1867 :—Mines. I despatch by the present mail an average sample of the lode on the 120 stopes. I also send you some specimens f rom the veins in the lode. The vein of red silver ore is on the eastern wall, and appeared first in the b ack stopes south. It has widened considerably, and appears now in No. 1 slope north, nearly a foot in Width. The stones of grey silver and pyrites are also f rom the eastern wall of stope No. 2. These veins would seem to confirm the general opinion that silver lodes increase in richness in depth. The new skips Ste now working well. Marinate. mines for the Month of December, 1866, cost $9,400 ; returns, $10,567. Less gold was produced during this month, o wing to the mineral having been of poorer quality, and the Christmas holidays and the shortness of Water during repairs to San Josye Acpquia. The ( thief mechanic writes, under date 12th January, 1 867, Aquas Claras.—" The barrel machinery is very nearly ready. I sincerely hope that we shall be able to begin to reduce mineral before this time text month." Two o'CLocI. According to Reuter's telegram from Paris te tlaY, the French Rentes were YOf. 27c. Very firm. The market for Consols continues to vary about Per cent. each day, and the tendency on the whole 143 distinctly towards firmness. The latest quota tions this afternoon show an advance to the frac tional extent already mentioned, as they are now 91 i money and March account, and 91* j for April ae eeun t.

This was a writ of ejectment under which the plaintiff sought to recover possession of a certain coffee-shop. Mr. Steadman appeared for the plaintiff, Mr. Green re presenting defendant. It appeared that plaintiff had taken the premises in 1863 under an agreement that the rent was to be £3 Os. Bd. per month, payable monthly, with a month's notice, such notice to be put in force unless the defendant failed to pay the rent or conducted tho house in an improper manner. Defendant's counsel called upon Mr. Steadman to produce the agreement, but Mr. Steadman said the document he held was simply a counterpart of which defendant had the original. After some delay, and the production of a wrong agreement, defendant's counsel produced the original, which fully made out the defendant's case. It was contended that so long as the defendant paid the rent and conducted the house properly, she was a yearly tenant, and there fore must have more than a month's notice. His Honour ruled that the tenantcy was monthly, and that a proper notice had been given. The defendant must move out in ten days. Mr. Green asked if he could not appeal ? His Honour—ln this court there is no appeal in eject ment casos nor yet in equity. The usual order was then made. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.--This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ABUSING THE KINDNESS OF TILE GUARDIANS OF ST GEORGE'S, ITANOTER-SQUARE.—Thomas Wood, an inmate of the workhouse of St. George, Hanover-square, Mount street, was ch c arged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a suit of clothes of tho value of £2 Os. 3d., the property of the guardians of the poor of St. George's, Hanover-square. Robert Plowright, porter at the workhouse, said that on the 30th January the prisoner, who was an inmate of the workhouse, went out wearing a new suit of clothes, and nothing more was seen of him till Saturday evening last, when he came to the workhouse and asked to be ad mitted as a tramp. He was admitted, and afterwards given into custody by order of the master. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness stated that when he asked the prisoner what he had done with the clothes he made no reply. Mr. George Cole, the master of the workhouse, explained that the guardians provided each of the inmates with a respectable suit of clothes, different to the usual work house clothing,:that when they went to visit their friends it should not be known they were inmates of a workhouse. On asking the prisoner what he had done with the clothes he stated that he got drunk and lost them. Mr. Tyrwhitt said ho had no doubt the prisoner had pledged the clothes, and he would remand him to give an opportunity of making inquiries respecting them. THAMES. AUDACIOUS ROBBERY.—JawS Newell, aged 16, and William Key, 15, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a coat, the property of Mr. William Robinson, of the Tan-yard, Barkingside, Essex. On Saturday afternoon Mrs. Robinson, a laundress, and the wife of the prosecutor came to town with her horsoand cart on business, and stopped at the house of a tradesman in the Mile-end-road. While she was in the shop of the tradesman, a girl, named Mary Ann Evans, saw the pri soners approach Mrs. Robinson's horse and cart, recon noitre, and take Mr. Robinson's coat off the horse. The girl immediately raised an alarm, and the boys ran away in opposite directions. Key handed the coat to Newell, who ran down White Horse-lane with it, and in the course of his flight put it on. He was pursued and overtaken. Ho tried to pull off Mr. Robinson's coat and throw it a Fray. Ho was prevented and brought back to the Mile-end-road, where his confederate was in custody in a corn chandler's shop. The case was clearly made out against the prisoners, and tha stolon coat was produced and identified by Mr. Robinson. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and:said it Nibs their first offence. Mr. Paget said the robbery was committed with all the dexterity and cunning generally displayed by old and practised thieves. The robbery waa a most audacious one. Ho sentenced the prisoners to be imprisoned for six months in the Hones of Correction, and kept to hard labour. A DRUNKEN " LADY."—A very showy-dressed woman, young and pale, who gave the name of Ellen Peterson, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with being drunk and incapable of taking care of herself. Mr. Paget asked the prisoner who she was and where she lived. The prisoner holding down her head replied, I am a lady Mr. Paget—A lady 1 and found in a public street drunk and incapable of taking care of yoursolf. Where do you live ? The prisoner said she was the landlady of the Grapes public-houso in the Minories. Mr. Paget said it was most disgraceful to hear of a woman being found in such a condition, exposing herself to danger, and holding out a temptation to dishonest per sons to rob her. If she had not been arrested by the police and locked up, she would have been soon plun dered of all her finery, lace and silks. Be was very sorry he had not the power of punishing drunken persons by imprisonment instead of inflicting a penalty. The prisoner's conduct was most scandalous and reprehensible, but all he could do was to fine her ss. Mrs. Peterson paid the fine and was liberated. WESTMINSTER. AN AWKWARD DaCOVEßY.—Edward Gledhill, a private of the Grenadier Guards, was charged with being found in the house of a gentleman for an unlawful purpose. Mr. Joseph Lovegrove, of 20, Grove-place, Brompton, said that at half-past eleven on Saturday night he heard a noise in the lower part of his house, and on going down and making a search found the prisoner concealed in a back lumber-room behind some boxes. He gave defendant into custody for being there with intent to commit a rob bery, and when at the station defendant said the servant had let him in at the front door. Mr. Seifs suggested that military mon occasionally paid visits to houses stealthily, without intending anything felonious. Mr. Lovegrove replied that he found upon subsequent inquiry that the defendant had seduced his servant, who now refused to come forward. He had been in the habit of annoying her of late. Defendant—l have been there very often. I have stopped there a fortnight at a time. Mr. Lovegrove observed that all this was new to him. He was not aware of the soldier's visits. Mr. Selfe—And did not allow of such a follower Mr. Lovegrove—Certainly not. Mr. Selfe—lt is quite certain that although the defen dant's presence there was very unjustifiable, ho cannot be charged with being there for the purpose of committing a felony. Defendant's sergeant said that his conduct was irregular as a soldier, but he did not think he would be guilty of dis honesty. Defendant—l thought I had leave to be ihere ; I always understood I had. Mr. Selfe—You could not have thought that, or you would not have been concealed. You would have been enjoying yourself in the kitchen. Defendant was dismissed. LIVERPOOL CO2TON MARKET. (This Day.)

THE SUN, LONDON, MONO.AY EVENING, MARCH 4, 1867. MARKE TS.--Ilia day. MARK-LANE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were steady for wheat, at full prices, although the supplies were rather on the increase. Barley and most other kinds of produce moved off slowly, at barely previous rates. The Continental markets have shown more firmness for wheat, but the transactions in it for spring shipment have been rather limited. American advices bring lower rates for both wheat and flour. The imports of foreign and colonial grain, do., into London last week comprised 23,274 quarters of wheat, 19,931 barley . , 20 beans, 4,190 tares, 855 linseed, 21,330 rapeseed, 1,238 maize, 1,433 Eundries, 4,799 sacks, and 30 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale at our market, to day, was very moderate, but there was a decided improve ment in the condition of the samples. At the commence ment of business factors held both red and white qualities at an advance in price from Monday last; but millers showed no disposition to respond to such a movement, hence the market became very quiet, and sales prog►essed slowly, at previous quotations. The market was moderately anpplied with foroign wheat. The amount of business transacted was rather limited; nevertheless, prices ruled firm. There was an improved demand for floating cargoes o grain, at quite late rates. The supply of English barley on sale was only mode rate ;of foreign, good. The trade for all qualities was dull, and prices declined ls. per qr. Malt was in limited request, at fully the late decline in the quotations. A fair supply of oats was upon the stands. The de mand for all descriptions was very quiet, and a fall of 6d. per qr. took place in prices. Beans were in but moderate supply. The trade ruled quiet, at late rates. Grey peas were firm in price, but for other qualities the trade ruled quiet, on former terms. The market was but moieratoly supplied. The flour trade was very quiet. Linseed and rape seed were steady at previous quotations. Sound Calcutta rape is very scarce. There was a steady demand for clover seed at full prices In other seeds a fair business was doing. The cake trade was dull at lower prices. Linseed de scriptions were 2s 6d, and cotton seed 5s per ton lower than on Monday last.

Tbore was rather a large supply of foreign boasts on sale here to-day, chiefly in middling condition. The show of foreign sheep was moderato, and calves limited. The de mand was inactive, and prices had a drooping tendency. The arrivals of boasts fresh up from our grazing dis tricts were on the increase, and in good saleable condition. The supply from Sootland was only moderate, but very prime; whilst the receipts from Ireland were limited. Not withstanding the prevailing cold weather, the demand for all breeds of beasts was very inactive, at a decline in the quotations of 2d. per Bibs. The general top figure was 5s 2d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,500 Scots, crosses, and short horns; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds; from Scotland, 234 Scots and cros:Ts ; and from Ireland, 100 oxen, &c. The supply of sheep was ou the increase ; whilst most breeds arrived of full average weight. Tho demand for even the primest Downs, &c., was slow, and the prices realised ou Monday last wore with difficulty supported. Tho highest quotation was Gs 2d per 81bs. The few lambs on offer sold slowly at 8s per 81bs. There was a fair demand for calves, at full prices, viz., 5s to 6s per 8113 s. The supply was limited.

The racing last week was scarcely above mediocrity; but the Nottingham Race Committee deserve the highest encomiums for the extensive improvements they have made throughout the Grand Stand and Betting enclosure, which, combined with the surounding scenery, now makes acorn) of the finest courses in the country. The Liverpool Meeting extends to four days, in con sequence of the Grand Military Races taking place over the Aintree Course on Thursday and Friday. Five of Tuesday's engagements out of no less than eight, which appear in the programme, aro complete for analysis. As is usually the case, there is no public guide to the winner of the Tyro Stakes, only one of the sixteen nominations having yet faced the starter's flag. It may not be uninteresting to note how many different sires are represented amongst the entries, viz., Trumpeter, Loup Garou, Caractacus, Stockwell, Dundee, High Treason Amsterdam, Knight of Kars, Neville, Van Galen, Thor manby, Vedette, Tower, The Prime Minister, and Mildew ; in fact, with the exception of Lord Coventry's two, all are by different stallions. Having heard favourable ac counts of b'EDELLA and MR. MERIT'S REPRESENTATIVE, I think they will be found most trustworthy. It looks any odds on Cnowx PRINCE or LA MAUDITE for the Aintree Plate, and unless Lady Pam should be brought out one of Lord Westmorland's three— INDIAN STAR, ULPILUS, or the ROCK—is bound to win the Mersey Cup. The Annual Hardie Handicap has 42 horses engaged, of which the most favourably handicapped appear to be Fortunatus, Helen, Brahma, Real Jaw, Fan, and Lord Coventry's pair. Should FAN not be reserved for the Grand National, I have the most fancy for her; next to whom REAL JAM and Lord Coventry's representa tive must do battle for me. So much depends upon the start for the Spring Flying Stakes that it is next to an impossibility to hazard a successful conjecture; but if FLYING Jan, who won this race with only 81b. less on her back last year, gets well off, she ought to be about winning, although WISEMAN is almost equally well in. There is any quantity of sport sot sport set down for Wednesday, the all important event of the meeting, the world-renowned Grand National Steeplechase, having to be decided on that day. Out of the acceptances, although several of them have already paid forfeit, there will doubt less be an unusual number of starters paraded before the Earl of Sefton, who officiates on such occasions. My impression is that many of the runners will only assist to swell the field ; and are not at all likely to interfere with the result. At any rate, the underneath list contains all those animals whose chances I think it necessary to dis cuss :-- HORSE. ago st lb RIDER. Astrolabe Hall Court a 12 3 Cortolvin Globule a 11 7 Plover Shakspeare Dermot Asthore .. 6 10 12 j Mr. Crawshaw. Lightbeart a 11 1 Glasgow 6 10.13 }- E. Jones.

Doctor 6 10 8 Havelock 6 10 3 Silver Star a 10 9 King Arthur Little Wideawake a 10 3 Fan 5 10 3 Duke (h b) a 10 3 It will be perceived amongst others the names of Colum bia, Surney, and Whitehall do not appear, for the simple reason that I doubt any of them running. Astrolabe is honoured with top weight, but her performances abroad and her •running at Croydon in the Grand Metropolitan Steeplechases with Globule last winter certainly entitle her to the distinction, and I quite expect, if the ground continues in good order, to see her obtain a situation, if not the place of honour. Hall Court is no fancy of mine. Cortolvin has been backed for large sums of money, and from his running last year will take a great deal of beating, but the 71b additional weight on his back to what he then carried is not likely to improve his chance. Globule will take a deal of beating. The Plover I know nothing about. Shakspere and Dermot Asthore will both run, though they represent the same interests. The former is evidently the " intended" of the stable, which his antecedents warrant him in being, but it is as well to have " two strings to a bow," and should any mishap befal the tragedian, the latter will be favourably heard of in the race. Lightheart and Glasgow belong to Mr. A. W. Clayton, and the selected one of the pair will, I expect, turn out the best outsider in the race. The first named horse ran fourth, carrying 41b more for this event last March, and if his stable companion should prove the real " Simon Pure," he will take a great deal of beating. It should not be forgotten that he won the Hunt Cup Steeplechase in a canter from Sprite at the Warwick November Meeting in 1865, when only 1 yrs old, and he is Well bred enough, by De Clare out of Miss Whip, for anything. Balham will not do in this com pany. Mr. Studd's lot aro Shangarry, Clansman, De spatch (h b), and Sensation (h b), but I think only the CREWKERN'E winner and Clansman are likely to repre sent his interests on the day. Of the two I have a decided preference for Shangarry, who reads very dangerous. Mr. Studd naturally grumbled, before the Grand Na tional was run last year, at the weight put on Salamander, in comparison with Creole, Merrimac, and one or two other public performers; but this journey he might have been asked to handicap for himself. Of Little Frank the most favourable reports continue to reach me, and I should ad vise him to be kept on the right side; at the same time, he will probably find this company too good for him. Sea King will, of course, run for Mr. Brayley, as Ibex is doing very little work. His Majesty ran very badly at Birming ham the other day; still, if any demonstration should be made on his behalf, it would not surprise me to see him at the winner's heels. My information leads me to suppose that The Doctor will do battle for Lord Co ventry's stable, and be ridden by George Stevens, whose fine riding is sure to make him figure conspicuously in the van. Havelock, after running at Birmingham, looked like starting one of the favourites, but no one will have him after his refusal to jump at Lincoln. It is not yet decided who is to have the mount. With a resolute jockey up, however, his chance is by no moans a forlorn ono. Silver Star is not likely to shine hero; but I think King Arthur has a great chance. Fan has come with a rattle in the market, and, backed as she evidently is by her astute owner, is likely to prove ♦ery dangerous. The Duke belongs to the Earl of Eglinton, and all I can say about him is, that his lordship's success would be enthusi astically welcomed by all classes of sportsmen, in memory of old times. Having gone into these details, let me con clude by choosing Shakspeare, Globule, Shangarry, and Fan to beat the field, and finally, to anticipate the judge's decision, I will place SIIAKSPEARE 1 S HANGARRY 2 FAN 3 It is impossible to say which of his lot will be brought out for The Sefton Handicap by the Earl of Westmorland, but it seems a good thing for ono or two of this division. The Welter Cup should g 2 to BRIMSTONE or BRICK. The other races on the same day are not worth interfering with. The Steeplechase Handicap on Thursday depends too lunch upon previous running for me to hazard a conjecture about, so I shall at once turn my attention to the Liverpool Spring Cup, run the same day. Honesty will beat all the top weights ; Dulcimer and Mrs. Allan aro best in of the middle division; and Chance and Foresight of the 3-yr olds. Of course a groat deal depends upon the intentions of owners. A FRESH MAN. NOTES 7/(ost TRAINING QUARTERS. (THIS DAY.) NEWMARKET. We have had nice refreshing rains, but the weather is very cold. Nevertheless, horses and mon are all busy here. Gilbert is giving D'Estournal a good steady prepa ration, and the horse does his mile and a half gallop, led by Leybourne, remarkably well. Sealskin looks uncommonly well, and is schooling Ravioli and Moleskin, who aro also getting very forward. Friponnier takes Van Amburgh along; and, after a couple of canter', The Rake gallops over a mile and a quarter, still working by himself. The Hermit and Knight of the Garter continue steadily together ; and both Pedagogue and Tempest are striding along. Julius, Avron, Flying Scud, and Borubastes aro going on Etat rate, and are getting into faster and longer work. Dragon for the last day or two has not done quite so much as pre viously, but is exceedingly well, as are also Enchanteur Cerf `"plant, and Trocadero, the last trio doing over a mile and a quarter gallops. Ariel, liontagnard, Auguste, and Plutus do very little at present. Jasper, Camilla, Falkenstein, Tourmalin, Lothario, and Ilippia are bowling along merrily; and Tormentor is taking the Duke of York a mile and a half each morning. Sheep. Lambs. Calves. Pigs.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at fiTO o'clock. PETITION. Lord LIFFORD presented a petition from the Presby terian ministers of the county of Donegal against the sale of intoxicating liquors. MINISTERIAL EXPLANATIONS. Lord DERBY said that, in the present state of affairs, he should lay before their lordships the full de tails which had occurred in relation to the circum stances which had induced him and his col leagues to take into their hands the reins of Government. Tho late Covernment had resigned their offices because they had been defeated upon the Reform Bill which they had introduced, and in accordance with the commands of her Majesty the party he represented had assumed the reigns of Government, but they had taken office perfectly unpledged to any of the responsibilities connected with the Reform Bill. When they introduced those Resolutions which had been disapproved of by the House of Commons, they had done so hoping that there might be a compromise between the parties in the matter. Subsequently two schemes had been proposed, concurrent, indeed, but varying in the amount of the franchise. But he found that one member of the Cabinet, although willing toagree if possible with both of the schemes, was dissentient, and two other distinguished members subse quently entertained different views—two members who wore valued and esteemed colleagues ; then he thought, taking into consideration the course on the question which the late Government had pursued, he came to the conclusion that either he must resign the position that he held as the head of the Cabinet, or that he must accept the resignation of his esteemed colleagues. He need not state that ho felt the greatest reluctance at parting with members so distinguished as they wore. (Hear hear.) But taking into consideration the great and almost awful question of Reform, which was about to be introduced, he felt himself justified in accepting their resignation. In the course of the ensuing week ho trusted that the vacancies in the Cabinet would be filled, and that a measure would be introduced which would bring to a paramount conclusion the great question of Reform, which had so long agitated the country. (Hear, hear.) The Earl of OARNAIWON said that he knew that his •-~ noble friend (Lord Derby) had undertaken tho Govora ment of the country from motives of the greatest disinto • restedness, therefore it was with the deepest feeling of regret that he felt compelled to dissever himself from his ' noble friend at a moment when he might be considered to be in his greatest difficulty, but difference on the various points of rating and rental had induced him to take this course, and to put his resignation into the hands of the noble earl. Earl GRANVILLE stated that it appeared to him that there had neither been a majority or minority on any of the different schemes that bad been proposed in the Cabinet. His opinion was that, during the last 15 years, there had not been such a favourable opportunity of passing a Reform Bill. There would be no factious oppo- Lion on their part, and that any reform scheme on the part of the Government would be met with the most hearty and cordial co-operation. Earl GREY said that it appeared to him that so far from her Majesty's Government not being responsible for the introduction of a Reform Bill, that they had only two courses left, the one to introduce a bill, and the other, to lay such reasons that should soothe the way to a general settlement of the question, and when such a bill was introduced that it should be on the responsi bility of her Majesty's Government, and capable of standing the decision of the House of Commons. There ought to have been a scheme enunciated which was founded upon clear and unequivo cal grounds. Such vague resolutions as those which had been introduced were a mere mockery of that house. (Hoar, hear.) They had had more than six weeks pass by before anything on this most impertant matter had even been begun. (Hear, hear.) What they wanted was to have the country wisely and well governed, and the House of Commons likewise. So it was neoessary to the acquirement of such a position of affairs that the House of Commons should not only represent the wealthy (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING.

BOWYER gave notice that• in the event of the bill with respect to capital punishment being read a second time, he should move that the bill he referred to a select committee. THE TORNADO. In reply to Mr. LusK, Lord STANLEY said there would be no objection to printing the correspondence with respect to the Tornado, with the exception of Mr. Saul's letter, which ho could not find. THE LICENSING SYSTEM. Mr. PEASE asked the Secretary of Stat? for the Home Department whether the attention of her Majesty's Go vernment had been drawn to the evils arising from the fact that a separate jurisdiction exists for granting licences for the retail sale of spirits, beer, and wine; and whether her Majesty's Government proposed to bring in a bill to place the granting of these licences under one jurisdic tion. Mr. WALPOLE—The matter had been brought under the consideration of the Government in a variety of ways, and some applications were at present under consideration. Therefore, before all the propositions had received due consideration. he could not state what course the GovJru meat intended to pursue. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. In reply to Mr. VIVIAN, Gen. PEEL said he should postpone proceeding with the army estimates until Thursday next. THE REPO:iII BILL. - THE MINISTRY. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that since he had last had the honour of addressing the house a majority of the Cabinet had determined to revert to their original policy, and that circumstances had, he regretted to say, compelled three of his colleagues to tender their resignation, which resignation had been accepted, and they now only held their seats until their successors were appointed. He deeply regretted the determination, more especially as amongst those who had resigned was one whose name could never be mentioned in that house with out respect and esteem. His gallant friend, however, would still have the opportunity of explaining the reasons for the advice he had given when he moved the Army Estimates on Thursday next. (Hear, hear.) Ho had also to state that fresh arrangements had been made, and that by Friday he should be able to state that the government of the Earl of Derby was complete. With respect to the Reform Bill, ha intended to introduce it on the 18th of the present month. (Hear, hear.) Ho proposed to take the second reading on the Monday following. There would thus be ample time for the consideration of the bill ; and if it should prove acceptable to the house he should propose that it be proceeded with in com mittee day by day until it was completed. (Hear, hear.) The house was about to go into committee on the North American Confederation hill, when Mr. B. OSBORNE said ho could not but think that as the house had been kept in the dark for three weeks— (laughter)—soma further explanation—(cries of "Order, order") — The SPEAKER said the order bad been distinctly read for proceeding with the British North American Bill, which question was about to be considered. (Hear, hear and laughter.) _ _ Mr. B. OS BORNE said, in order to surmount the diffi culty, he should move the adjournment of the house. (Laughter.) After the house had been kept iu the dark for three weeks, the right hon. the Chancellor of the Ex chequer came down, and, like Cagliostro expounding the se cret of the philosopher's stone,he had left them as much in the dark as over. (Laughter.) He had told them that the Cabinet had reverted to its original plan--(laughter); he should like to ask those who are left, or rather those who had gone, what that original policy was—(hear, hear) —whether that policy was to land them in an £8 or household suffrage no one knew. (" Hear, hear," and laughter.) He therefore should like to ask the hon. and gallant gentleman (General Peel), who had acquired a well earned reputation for consistency, or else the noble lord the member for Stamford (Viscount Cranborne), to tell them what that original policy was, and what were the reasons that induced them to leave their colleagues. (Hear, hear.) He asked the question out of no vulgar curiosity —(loud laughter)—and he hoped the noble viscount would not scruple to tell why he was no longer to sit on the Government bench. (Laughter.) He (Mr. B. Osborne) considered that ho but reflected com mon sense in askingfor an explanation why three members had resigned, and also what was the original policy of her Majesty's Government. (Loud laughter, and cheers.) Viscount CRANBORNE said he regretted to say his reply would be very brief. It was not in the power of those occupying the position ho did to speak without the permission of her Majesty, and that permission he had not received. (Laughter.) Mr. GLADSTONE said it was quite conclusive that no blame could attach to the hon. gentleman, th e member for Nottingham. A statement had been made that her Majesty's Government had recurre d to their original policy ; now that was a statement whichoccasioned a great deal of uncertainty , be cause it created a deal more t d h i ffi a t c u t l h t e y g t r h e a a n t ma r t e t :f r o f v n e d w . h f ( n I h was delayed was m cst critical. e t a b r e , y h ea were r) about Every t moment engage After four weeks the great question was still concerned they being stood dalli no edwfintrht,hear forndas far as progress w as _ ward than they did on tbo first night of the session. (Hear, hear.) On Monday last the right hon gentleman stated the plan the Government pro posed, and immediately after the Cabinet seemed to be stricken with paralysis. (Laughter.) The air be came thick with rumours, and amidst them there was one that the measure was to be with drawn. Ho had seen a dance performed by women in a distant part of the world in which the first movement was three steps forward and the second was to retrace their steps. (Laughter.) Now the progress in the house of the Government with the question of reform was not so satisfactory as that of the dancers he had men tioned. (Laughter.) Ho thought it was absolutely neces sary active steps should be taken on this great question, because if that was not done the blame would not attach simply to the Government, but to all classes in Parliament who would by further delay stand discredited in the eyes of the country. (Cheers.) He hoped when the plan was proposed it would be simple and straightforward—(hear, hear)—that it would contain no new-fangled propositions, because the people of the country were attached to simplicity. It was above all to be hoped that the plan, when it was proposed, would not be framed to give in one part and take away another. If the plan was a good one it would be considered in no grudging spirit ; and he sincerely hoped it would be such that it would prove acceptable to the country at large, (Hear, hoar, and cheers.) The subject then dropped, and the house want into committee on the British North American Bill.
