IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORD —(YESTERDAY.) The Loan CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. NEW PEER. Lord RAVENSWORTiI took the oaths and his seat. DEAN FORESTS, &c., BILL. On the motion of Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY, this bill passed through committee. CHARITABLE TRUSTS BILL. On the motion that this bill be read a second time, The LORD CHANCELLOR said the first object of the present bill would be to increase the powers of the Charitable Commissioners, soasto enable themto do more good than they have hitherto been able to do. It bad been charged against the board that they bad done very little. The fact was that they had done a great deal, but they required further powers, which the present bill would confer. Within the last year about 1,100 applications bad been made to the board by parties connected with charities, and the im portant functions of the board were to advise the trus tees and others connected with charities ; and if such parties acted upon the advice given them they would be indemnified. The bill was also to authorise the commissioners to give powers to the trustees of charities to lease lands for building purposes. Th e measure further proposed th a t the appointment of the commissioners should be permanent instead of being temporary, as they had hitherto been. The Commissioners were also to have the power of apportioning local charities, when such charities were to be divided, subject to the approval of the Court of Chancery. Provision was further made for the appointment of an official assignee, who would be bound to see that the property in question was properly treated and not mismanaged. In respect to the Roman Catholic charities, he (the Lord Chancellor) felt that it was necessary now to deal with that subject. There was a great deal of difficulty attending thi4 part of the subject. He bad, however, endeavoured to meet those difficulties, and he intended to have the bill printed, and to allow time for its consideration before proceeding with the other stages. Lord ST. LEONARDS said he did not object to the second reading of the bill, but he thought as it contained so many important clauses it would be best to refer it to [select committee. Earl GRANVILLE said he had no objection to the curse suggested by the noble and learned lord. The bill was then read a second time. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS--YESTERDAY. The house re-assembled to-day at 4 o'clock after the Easter recess. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. Bouvaniz was sworn, and took his seat for the Kilmarnock Burghs. Mr. Pnicz was sworn, and took his seat for Glou cestershire. Mr. BRAND was sworn, and took his seat for Lewes. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were read a third time :—Dursley and Midland Railway, Ossett Gas, and South Stafford shire Railway. The following bills were ordered to be considered : Belfast and County Down Railway, Bristol and Exeter Railway ; Colchester, Stour Valley, Sudbury, and Hal stead Railway ; Grand Junction Water ; Great North of Scotland Railway ; Great Northern Railway (In crease of Capital) ; Salisbury and Yeovil Railway ; South Wales Mineral Railway ; Southwark and Vauxhall Water ; Swansea Vale Railway ; Vale of Neatb Rail way ; and Woolwich Equitable Gas Bills. PETITIONS. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from New castle-on-Tyne, praying for Parliamentary Reform, as the only safeguard against the mismanagement of the war. Mr. KEATING presented a petition from a parish of St. Mark, against the Metropolis Management Mr. CARDWELL presented a petition from p. parish in Oxford, in favour of the abolition of church rates. Mr. COLLIER presented a petition from Plyznouth against the importation of Russian produce. Sir B. HALL presented several petitions from St. Pancras, and other metropolitan pariThes, in favour of the Metropolitan Local Management Bill. Mr. WICKHAM presented a petition from Sr. J. U. Walker, proprietor of the Halifax Guardian, pray ing for an amendment of the Newspaper Stamp Bill, now before the House of Commons, by substituting a halfpenny stamp for a penny one. LIMITED LIABILITY PARTNERSHIP BILL. Mr. BOUVERIE, in reply to a question by Mr. Collier, stated this bill was now ready, and he hoped to have an early opportunity of laving it before the house. Mr. P. URQUHART gave notice that when the hon. member for North Warwickshire (Mr. Spooner) brought forward his motion for the repeal of the May.- tooth grant, he should move that the house go int committee on the Ecclesiastical Establishments of Ireland. METROPOLIS LOCAL MANAGEMENT BILL. Sir B. HALL moved the second reading of this bill. Mr. WILLIAMS considered before they were called on to agree to the second reading they ought to bo made acquainted with the specific arrangements intended as to the management of the sewerage. The burden of this .12e thought ought to be thrown, at least to a great ex tent, upon the landlords instead of the rate-payers. Mr. PELLATT said, in his view, the bill, since it had been printed, bad been rendered a far more work- Ibis bill than it was at first, though, at the same time. without impeding the progress of the bill, he wished should be referred to the same committee as that which sat on the Nuisances Removal Bill. He thought the north and south sides of the river ought to be divided for drainage purposes ; for instance, what have the inhabitants of Southwark to do with those of Greek-street, Soho ? Mr. T. DI7NCOMBE wished this house in its paint ing and the decorations were in a fit state to do honour to the visit of the illustrious personages whose visit was welcomed this day by the nation—(hear, hear)— and that was an object which he believed such bills a , 4 this was calculated to effect. (Hear.) A good deal had been said in the discussion on the first read ing of this bill about reform ; but he wished to know when they were to have a reform in the city of London, or whether they should get through Temple bar this sear. (Laughter.) H e gave thi s bill his heartysupport._ ___ Mr. BUTLER eaidhe had received deputations from 21 parishes on this bill ; he agreed with the main provisions of the bill, but he thought some of the details were ob jectionable. - Mr. BRADY expressed his approval of the general principles of the bill, as did also Sir DE LACY EVANS and Mr. LAEOUCHERE, the latter expressing a hope that they should soon see the introduction of a bill for the reform of the London corporation. Sir G. GREY said it was the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to introduce, during the course of the present session, a bill for a reform of the Corporation of the City of London. (Hear, hear.) Sir B. HALL said, some gentlemen had a horror of the word " vestries," and therefore he should call them local hoards, and they would be elected in small parishes as a distinct board, which board would have the ma nagement of the paving, lighting, and cleansing of their particular districts. He believed it was impossible for a central board to manage the arterial drainage, aild he thought it would be much better to have local and dis trict boards for that purpose, as was the case in ad VI-- large provincial towns of the kingdom. If this hill passed it was his intention to bring in a bill to ainenrl Hobbouse's Act, especially that part of it which referred to polling places in the metropolitan districts. (i-ftar.) As to referring the bill to a select committee, be did not think it at all desirable to do so ; the principle of the bill was fully acknowledged by the hnuse, and in the house its details could be n uch better discussed than in a select committee ; and it W 4 aid be his duty, therefore, to resist any mo ti on f or sen d GO: the bill to a select committee. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed. SUPPLY. The house then went into Committee of Supply, when Mr. FITZROY took the chair as chairman of ways and means amidst cheers. O tt the vote of 154,000/. for the Royal palaces and gardens, Mr. WILLIAMS objected to the vote on the gr. and that there was net snEi-;.ien.tn re s, a , -.± -, 7 ;n so b w ou n ,,e f . ir I v t i ., ty . so large a =urn, particularly e i ar _ v ti jected to the house v oting n . l 1,00 . .)/. for maiErzoin ing Frartlptoll Court Palace solely fir the accoininoilai ion of the paupers of tbeari-tocTiev.

Mr. SPOONER concurred e (Mr. Williams) that some fur te w ri t olor t m he a tt n o • rn u et,,L ey many of the details t " 46 given to the house on atia2ates. Mr. MACARTNEY believed a. Standingof those for the estimates at the commenoenlent c : mtnitt- e° would be of great utility, and he should b e t.,,,„,"%i(n3 support the motion of the hon. member (xi Wi ll r , e ' to that the chairman should report progress. " z is ) , Sir W. MOLESWORTE opposed the motion ' explained the necessity for the votes for keeping and Royal Palaces and Parks in perfect repair. After a few remarks from Mr. WTSE, Sir F. Batt No, and one o r t wo o th e r hon. members, the vote vas agreed to. On the vote of 69,544/. for maintaining and kee:)'.ng in repair the royal parks and pleasure-grounds, Mr. EWART urged the throwing open to the puldie of the grounds in Hyde -park be!ongiug to the ranger and deputy-ringer. iiir 'W. MOLESWORTH had no power to speak on Mr - . M'GREGOR thought that no jobbery that bad ever been heard of would p rove equa l to an 'honest ex posure of the manner in which the various amounts voted at different times had been expended upon our public buildings, &c. Sr H. WI LLOUGHBY sail the expenditure that belonged to the department of Woods and Forests did not stand upon the votes then under discussion. At the same time he maintained that the house had a right to question every item of the expenditure of that de - prtment. Mr. WILLIAMS insisted that the Government had not fulfilled the engagement of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer, who promised that 6,000,000/., which had formerly been spent in silence, should he brought to light, and placed under the cognisance of the house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the present Government had punctually and exactly fulfilled the engagements of the late Chancellor of the Exchequer. He ucdertook to bring the re venue service under the cognisance of the house, and not that that expenditure should be paid into the Exchequer before any vote should be taken in the house. It had been already stated that it was not his intention to place the expenditure of managing the land revenue of the Crown upon the estimates, and that inten t-0 . also had been adhered to. With regard to the parks, ti,ey had been originally the property oi the Cr o en, but bad keen gratuitously granted by the Crown to the public for their benefit and pleasure. Windsor-park was in the occupancy of the Crown itself, and so was put upon the expenses of the land revenue. The hon. member for Lam beth had in his eye an act which transferred certlin charges upon the Consolidated Fund, and which therefore were paid by the Exchequer without any annual vote of the house. They were included every one in the miscella neous estimates, which had been and would be laid on the table. The greater part of them would be found in No. 2. Mr. EWART thought there should be a greater nuin tier of seats provided in the parks. He also objected to the carrying away of quantities of gravel for the pur pose of making roads, and then filling up the spaces left with street sweepings, so as to create a kind of artficial swamp. Sir \l 7 . MOLESWORTII said that a great number of seats should be provided, and that the taking away of grivel should be discontinued. Mr. MA.CARTNEY said that the wooden railing in the Rotten-row should give place to a handsome iron one. Sir W. MOLESWORTH said that a vote would be pr .posed this year fir completing the iron railing which had alleady begun in Rotten-row. The vote was then agreed to. Oa the vote of 122,2091. for the works and expenses of the new houses of Parliament, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to have some idea of what the total amount of the cost of the new hones would be. The original understanding was 750,0001., but he believed that the expenditure now exceeded two Sir C. D. NORREYS said the right hon. gentleman had promised to call upon Sir C. Barry to lay before Parliament a plan of what it was proposed yet to do with al! the buildings in New Palace-yard. He appre hended that the plans of Westminster-bridge were calcu• lated with reference to extensive buildings there. Then he wished to know further whether the new fresco was to he executed by the same Mr. Cope who executed the fresco representing " the first Investiture of the Garter" in the House of Lords! That was a work of so diszrace ful a character to the art of this country that he saonti be very sorry that any sum should be paid the same artist for any other fresco. Sir W.MOLESWORTH said it was true he promised to obtain front Sir C. Barry a statement of the works he wished to execute and of their probable cost, and he had obtained a report from him. On the 31st March, 1854, it was stated that a further sum of 280,000 i. would be required to complete works already sanctioned. Of that sum 107,0001. was ♦oted last year, 85,1001. would be asked this year. leaving 88,0001. to be voted at a future period. Sir C. Barry calculated that for additional works not already sanctioned, there would be required an ad• ditional expenditure of 651,0001. Matters, then, stood thus : Expenditure up to 31st March, 1854 £1,583,000 Voted la3t year 107,000 Probable amount expended up to this time...X1,690,000 Probable expenditure when completed in full .E 1,863,000 And supposing the additional 651,0001. to be sanctioned, that would raise the probable total cost of the building to nearly two millions and a half. (A laugh.) Sir C. Barry's report had been sent to the Treasury, but bad not yet been decided on. Sir C. D. NORREYS complained that there was no map of where the propose' new buildings were to be placed. Mr. MACARTNEY hoped the Treasury would not presume to authorise Sir C. Barry to expend so large an amount as 651,0001. without the sanction of the house. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the time had now come when a stop must be put to Sir C. Barry's extravagant expenditure. (Hear, hear.) Captain SCOBELL said what had already been done could not be helped, but he trusted that Sir C. Barry would find that for the future if the House of Commons was not his master, the President of the Board of Works w, id be. Mr. BAILEY asked if the alteration and removal of the courts of law were included in these sums ? Sir W. MOLESWORTH---The removal of the courts of law was certainly not included. Mr. WILSON entered into some explanations with reference to the question of Sir Charles Barry's commis sion. He said that it had been a matter of dispute be tween Sir Charles Barry and every successive Treasury. The original agreement was entered into between Lord Bessborough and Sir Charles Barry, and when an ex penditure of 700,0001. was calculated, not to finish the building, but only to include the shell and plans, Sir Charles Barry protested that he had never assented to that agreement by which he was to retain in his hands a sum of 25,0001. in full of the commission of the building then calculated. By this agreement Sr Charles Barry would receive a percentage of about 3 per cent. on the outlay. Whereas, the usual commission paid to architects was 5 per cent. The 3 per cent. commission had been paid to other eminent 'architects for public works, but in those cases some charges for ailineasurement we, e borne by the public, which were usually defrayed by the a"chitect when a 5 per cent. commteFion was allowed. From time to time the expenditure had ereatly exceeded the original estimate ; and when the time eame for a settlement it appeared that a jie-t mode would be to lake up the pr ncpie adopted by Lord Bessh r lu.di at the conimenceinei t, which Sir Charles Barry pratested he hal never assented to, althouoh he admitted that be ha I acted under it—and to pay a couuniesum upon the whole expenditure at the same rate. Sir Charles Barry pre tested aeainst this decision, and a corresp si , l• nee hail gone on from that day to the present time. Her Ma jesty's Government adhered to the view which th y had taken, and the paver - mete had been kept within the amouat calculated at the three per cent. upon the outlay. With respect to the question of telmea-ureinent, it wa s Mated that a consid-Table expense had b .en incurred li% Sir Cherie' , Barry, and the question Has under cce,sidi;- ration ; but he hoped that in a short time it would be brought to a conclusion. In reply to a que-tion from several hen. members, Sir W. MOLESWORTFI said that Government was prepared to resist any further chareee beyond the 3 i.er cent., which was the usual amount paid to architects for public worm+, including decorations and other similar matters. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY said a proposition ought t o have been made to Sir t C o h a a ff rl o e r s d ß i a l r is ry se to rv t i l e is s e o ff n ec c t e , r t t l a ia ir t i if he did not choose r terms they would be sti c o l n BP frorn an /lox.

He had been many years in the house, but never in the whole of his experience had he seen important public business, swth as was in cluded in these estimates, brought in the very first night after the Easter recess. It was a complete farce asking the house to vote these estimates when there bad been no time to consider Haim. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said full notice was given before the recess that these estimates would be brought on tonight, and he could not see, there fore, that his hon. frieid had any reason to complain. Mr. WILLIAMS observed that when the right hon. gentleman the merabe: for Buckinghamshire was Chan cellor of the Exchequer he laid the estimates hefcre the house long before he asked the house to vote them. Why was not the same course taken this year? Mr. DISRAELI die not think the house had any right to complain, as it was generally understood before the recess that the miscellaneous estimates would be brought forward immediately on the re-assembling of the house. He rsse, however, chiefly fair the purpose of pro testing against the principle laid down by the hon. gen tleman, that no business of any importance ought to be brou 4 ht forward on the first night after the recess. Why, on the first night after.a recess hon. members returned to their labou rs with reinvigorated energies,and that he should have thought was j ust the time when business iif importance could be be-t disposed of. If the principle of the hon. member were allowed to prevail it would be tantamount to prolonging the holitays, and there would be no end to delays and confusion Mr. SPOONER quite agrsed with the right hon. gen tleman that it was highly inexpedient to prolong the holidays ; but what he complained of was that these estimates were not prirted before thcf recess, which might easily have been done. Mr. WILLIAMS contended that the whole of the estimates ought to be delivered together, and not distri but-id piecemeal. Mr. M'GREGOR - Enid, for his part, he objected to voting estimates while they were in ignora!me of the in• tentions of the Goverrment with regard ti the ways and mane, Tile vote way then agreed to, as were also the follow . _ . ing, viz. :- 16,270/. for the Copyholil Enclosure and Tithe Com mission. 12,1901. for the imprest expenses under the Enclosure ans , l3 ,s r c a jo irg f e or Aet' the General Register-office of England and Wales. 3,6581. for the General Register-office, Dublin. 5,715/. for the orrice: of Registrar-General of Births, Deaths, &c., in Scotladd. 14,9861. for the expense of the National Debt-office. 3,260/. for the Public Works Loan Commission. 1,5701. for the West Indian Islands Relief Commission. 8201. for the Commissioners of Lunacy. On the vote for 3,000/. to pay the salaries of the prin cipal officers of the Office of Metripolitan Buildings, Lord SEYMOUR declared that no act contained so much of injustice and inconvenience as the Metropolitan Buildings Act. Instead of tending to secure the safety of houses it often tended to endanger them, while in stead of tending to good drainage, it tended to just the contrary. There were two official referees under the act, one a lawyer, the other an architect ; but they so little agreed with each other that they would not sit in the same room together. Now, before they passed this vote, they ought to have some pledge that a bill would be brought in to reined. this disgraceful state of things. Sir W. MOLESWORTH said he had already ob tained leave to bring in a bill to alter and awend the Metropolitan Buildings Act ; and in that bill he pro- posed to deal with the question of referees. The vote was then agreed to, as were also the follow ing viz. :- 984/. for the general superintendent of country roads, South Wales. 1.610/. for the Registrar of Friendly Societies in Eng land: 32,000/. for the Secret Service. 360,470/. for printing and stationery. Mr. WILSON said he proposed to takp the next vote out of its usual course. It was the Education Vote, but if the house objected to pass the vote without discussion, perhaps they would allow him to take a sum on account. Mr. DISRAE LI,--Why not have the discussion now I Mr. WILSON did not think it would be convenient to take the discussion now. The vote was 381,000/. Would the committee allow him to take a vote on ac -1 thought t i t n n w n o l u d l d b e b e i n m t r u u e d h u b e n e d t t e b r y t o a count postponefDor I 2 tsh O T te voteOA,OEOOL/., A r. statement from the Minister. Sir G. GREY said a vote on account was required for the sake of carrying out pressing arrangements. A state ment would be made before the balance was moved. Mr. DISRAELI—Cannot you take a smaller sum! Mr. WILSON—Yes, 100,000/. A vote on account for 100,000/. was then agreed to. The house then resumed, and the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. PASSENGERS ACT AMENDMENT BILL. The bill was passed through committee pro form a. PUBLIC LIBRARIES AND MUSEUMS (IRE LAND) BILL. Tis bill was read a second time and ordered to be committed.

The LORD-ADVOCATE obtained leave to bring in a bid to regulate the procedure in the Court of Sessions in Scotlaiol. The object of the bill is to equalise the business before the Lords Ordinary and the Court of Sessions. The bill was subsequently brought in and read a first time. Ou the question that the house do now adj..urn, Mr. DI§RAELI inquired if the financial statement wa-i to he mad e on Friday ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied in the affirmative. The house then adjourned at half-past nine. that subject, but he believed that the matter was under consideration. Sir G. PECHELL urjed the r, storat:on of the fuun- tain and sheet of water in Bushy-park. Sir W. MOLES WORTH said it was proposed to re store that fountain, and a vote of 3,0001. would be asked for that purpose. Mr. WILLIAMS wished to know whether Windsor park cost any money last year ? In these most incom prehensible of all accounts, the accounts of the Woods and Forests, it was represented as having cost 18,0001. Sir W. MOLBSWO RTH said that he could not answer that question, a 3 Windsor -park belonged to a portion of the royal grounds that did not come within the scope of the present vote. _ _ Mr. WILLIAMS thought himself justified in press ing his question. There ought to be some one in the house who was responsible for the department under which Windsor-park was ranged. ]!dr. WILSON said that the land revenues had formed the subject of serious consideration, and that the late Chancellor of the Exchequer thought the accounts should not be disturbed. The public wire only as it were in terested in the Crown property for the lifetime of the sovereign, and it was not thought right for Parliament to interfere for the management of that property beyond what was stipulated for in the settlement of the civil list at the time when that property was handed overfrom the Crown to the public. Mr. WILLIAMS thought the property of the Crown was as much public property and ought to be managed by the public for their benefit as much as any one of the taxes that were levied on them. He protested against the doctrine that, because property belonged to the Crown, the house had no right to look into and superintend the money expended on it.

On the question that - :2,7891. be voted to defray the Palsies and expenses of the Board of Public Works in Ireland, Mr. MACARTNEY asked for some explanations as to why Messrs. Brinsley awl Stephens's report in refer ence to public works in Leland had not been carried out, or at least 0n1 , 7 partially in ? Mr. WILSON said, so far as the recommendations in the report related to the Board of Public Works, they had been fully carried out ; but, inasmuch as the report was drawn up upon the iissumption that the Poor-law Board was unaltered in its constitution, the recommen dations, so far as that board was concerned, could only be partially carried out.

DESTITUTION IN THE HEBRIDES. - Tth.; me through the medium of your columns to call attention to the severe distress which now op• presses numbers of the poor but loyal population of the Hebrides and West Highlands. Owing to an insecurity of the tenure of those who hold land, the want of money capital, and the absence of the economy it is the object of the Royal Patriotic and Industrial Society of Scotland to teach, the people re ferred to have, from time immemorial, beim accu-toured to experience great difficulties in obtaining the most siinWe elements of food between the exhaustion of one crop and the ingathering of another, generally from June till September. Owing to a more complete failure of the potato crop last autumn than in any previous year, and a wet and bad harvest, of their scanty patches of oats, or barley, aggravated by the dearness of previsions, destitution in a most alarming form oppresses the people of the remote islands of the west, and the iiociety has been urged to extend industrial employment, in knitting of hose, the weaving of cloth, towelling, &c., which it organised In 18.511, as a means of "helping the poor to help them selves." As regards this plan of feeding the hungry, without pauperising them in spirit, the most gratifying testimonials have been received. PRICES 01? SHARES IN BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHE R PANT STOCK.

MARLBOROUGH - STREET. —Jane Cope was charged by the Central Association in Aid of the Wives and Families of Soldiers now in the Crunea.with having defrauded the society of a sovereign. Mr. George Bell, the secretary, stated .that: the pri soner called upon him, and represented herself to be the wife of Quartermaster Sergeant Cope, of the 38th Regi ment, now in the Crimea.; that she had been married with leave, and had a son, who was serving as clerk to his father. The prisoner said she was known to Capt. Hackett, and to Lady Campbell, wife of Sir John Campbell, the colonel. He asked her for the papers and regimental card, which every soldier was provided with. She said she had not got them, as they had been destroyed, together with everything she possessed, in a fire that happened when she lodged in Farringdon-street. Believing her story to be true he took her before the committee, and by their order a se ,, ereign was given to her by the assistant-seen tary. From circumstances which subsequently came to his knowledge he had the isoner elven into custody. Hannah Rayner hal known S rgeant Cope intimately for some years, and had never hear i of his having. a wife. - Rose Bennett, wife of Paymaster Sergeant Bennett, a l s o knew Sergeant Cope, of the 38th, and never heard of hiskaving a wife. The prisoner said she was married at Bilston, in Suf folk, to Sergeant C)pe. Mr. Bing - ham said he would remand the prisoner till Wednesday, to give the society an opportunity of making inquiries at Bilston into the truth of the pri- soner's statement. Mary Ann Jane Turner, a respect ably dressed wo man, who said she was the wife of a surgeon living at Hackney, was charged with picking the pocket of a lady named Baynton. Mrs. Baynton said she was stnpping at tinderton's Hotel with her husband. While walking in Oxford street on Saturday she stopped to look at some goods in a w'nelow, and while thus engaged she felt a I:and in her pocket. She put her arm down and her hand came in contact with the prisoner's hand, which was still' under her mantle. She put her hand to her pocket and mi , sed her purse, which contained about twelve sove reigns in gold, which she had seen quite safe a few minutes before', as she had had occasion to tike some sliver from it to pay the omnibus fare. She immediately called to a lady who was with her, and puttng her hand on the arm of the prisoner said, "You have got my purse." The prisoner pretended to he•indignant at the charge, and appealed to a young w oman whom she called her sister, but who made olf as soon as a police. man was called. The prisoner pulled out a purse, not the one stolen, and said she was willing to Le searched. Police-constable Smee said he took the prisoner into a shop, to search her. The prisoner pulled out a quantify of gold, and said to the lady, "If that is your money, take it." The prisoner was searched, and 81. 103. in gold was found in her possessirtn. Witness went to the address given by the prisoner, but it was a false address. The prisbner asserted her innocence, and was fully committed.

Rear-Almiral Dundas has selected this vessel for the nurp ise of visiting his aqua iron pirsonally, and more pa, ticularly the squadron of gun-boats attached to the ships under his command. The Thistle gun-boat, Lieutenant D. Spain, tender to the Royal George, has arrived at Sheerness, from Green "tithe to wait orders. The Phoenix screw steam-sloop, C inimander John M. Hayes, has left Sheerness for the Baltic direct, taking under her charge for towing, as required, the Starling gun-boat, tender to the Royal George, and the Redwing gun-boat, tender to the Nile. The trial of the machinery of the l llawke, 60 guns, was in every respect satisfactory. Her average speed was 7 5-10th knots. The Admiralty have decided on enlarging No. 1 dry dock at Sheerness to enable ships of war of increased dimensions to be docked therein. The conditions of contract have been issued by the board.

A Limerick paper of Saturday announces the depar ture on the previous day of draughts from the depots of the 9th, 39th, and 89th fir the seat of war. , On Sunday a party of 26 wounded soldiers arrived at the North Wall, Dublin, from Plymouth, in the Screw Company's steamer Sylph. They consisted of one colour sergeant, two sergeants, two corporals, and 21 privates, and were from various regiments of horse and foot. Some of these brave fellows have beet engaged in the principal 13, , ttles fought in the Crimea, and all were more or less severely wounded. They soon became objects of interest to a large number of persons on the quays, and every accommodation was provided for them by the p,lice on duty. One man, a private from the 11th Hussars, ex cited special notice by wearing around him the cloak of a Russian officer. THE MILITIA. The total strength of the Ist Regiment of Warwick shire Militia, now assembled for permanent duty, exclu sive of commissioned officers, is about 400 men. Parties commanded by officers are stationed in Birmingham, Coventry, Stratford, Atherstone, and other towns, for the purpose of recruiting, which, however, does not proceed very satisfactorily. The second division of the Narthamptonshire Militia, composed of 307, including officers and men, will arrive at Liverpool, from Dublin, to-day. They will be imme diately forwarded to Plymouth. There was a great muster of the city of Dublin regi ment on Saturday, in order to ascertain which of them were willing to volunteer for foreign service, either at Gibraltar, Malta, or the lonian Isles. Colonel Lat Lieut.-Col. Routhe, and other officers were at the Linen• hall Barracks at half•past 12. The men were formed in hollow square, when the colonel addressed them in ex planation of the course before them. The officers, on being asked if they would volunteer, walked into the centre of the square, with the exception of the doctor, Surgeon Leech. The men were then told off in com panies, and individually asked, when it appeared that the great majority had volunteered to accompany their colonel wherever he was going. There was loud cheer ing ou this being announced. It appears that not more than three fourths of aey militia regiment will be re quired ; the remainder is to stay at home and act as a depot. The Antrim Riflep having given upwards of 75 volun teers to the line, Ensign Goddard ha•j been recom mended to the proper authorities for a commission in the reenlarariny..

Miss Roy, a benevolent lady, in the Isle of Mull, who kindly paid fair wages for the society, in return for work, has thus written :—" If the benevolent donors could see the eagerness with which the poor people crowd for work, and the blessings they bestow on those who sympathise with them and mitigate their distresp, they would feel highly gratified at the result of their efforts." The testimony of Miss B. M'Lean, of Coll, and of the Rev. Mr. and Mrs. M‘Leod, of Mull. is to the same effect. The Rev. Mr. M`Tavish, of Islay, in reincsiing a grant of 15/. (since sent.) says, "I find destitution is becoming more general, es pecially among the females." A veteran officer. Cap tain E. Ross, lath 93d Highlanders, who superintended the distribution from our fund of a grant in a district on the mainland, says, "I never knew so little money in the way of relief do so much good." Mrs. M'Allister, the lady of Dr. WA., of Broadford, with reference to another recent grant, says in a letter our secretary, Mr. Bond, dated the 10!h ult., "Be fore the females got employrn, nt I certainly dreaded serious consequences from want, but since they have had knitting I take heart, as there are, comparatively Teaking, few complaints. They are so eager to earn as much as they can that they sit up two nighfs in the week, they say they will have time enough to sleep when they will have nothing to do." In another letter from the same lady, dated the 31st ult., in describing the earnest desire of the most elderly and infirm to earn the hr,al they require, Mr 4. WAllister says, " One aged woman, in trying to do the work as well as possible, hal singed all her hair, by stooping to the peat fire at night ;" many districts in the Hebrides being deficient. in the roots of the pine, which give light in the " ingle nenk of more favoured island di str i cts. From the Island of Harris, where the Society hal previously afforded valuable assistaxee, in a letter now before me, dated 31 April, addressed, to our secretary rom the schoolmaster of Scalear, asking for renewed' aid (since granted to a s ma ll extent ) to that remote I island, he says, "The poor creatures are in a famished state, without food or clothes ; neither have they a par ticle of seed to crop their lands with. Unless some seed be sent them, they will next year be worse off that: they are this one. I never saw such severe destitution. I tear many of the poor creatures have already starved for want of fond ! I hope your commitiee will take their sad position into consideration, by sending them immediate relief." In asking you, sir. t• - ) bring these painful facts be f )re your -ceders, I know I need make no further ap peal, and will merely observe, that in the worst phases of Irish destitution, the able-bodied po,r were entit'ed to relief; had workhouses t ) go to, or could way der forth to plead fir f, +I. These pnor people in the Hebrides, the kindred of those brave High 7 anders, who have per formed prodigies of valour on behalf of their Queen end c iuntrv, are not entitled to relief while able-bodied ; when disabled they may have miles to travel, to find a poor-law inspector ; they have no workhouses in which they can take refuge ; they cannot ..wander forth, and invade, like hungry wolves, our southern towns, for rugged mountains or stormy seas hem them in, with nothing but the skies above, and the barren muir around them to derive succour from, unless benevolence and Christian charity respond to our advertised appeal for largely-extended help. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, CHARLES FORBES, Bart. Broom-wood, Clapham, April 14, 1855. P.S.—I may add, in reference to a parac,rraeh of my letter that, though possessing, as a Highland laird, up wards of twenty miles of turnpike road throtelt . m estates, among a thriving., well-doing tenantry, I may be considered as tieing interested in keeping down poor-rates, yet I do feel fiat justitiain ruat cce!um, and that what is humane and Christian for England and Ireland must be the same for the poor Scot. Were matters so, we, the society, would have less need of urging "the case of the poor Hebrideans and West Highlanders. LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-April 16. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. BOYLE V. WISEMAN. This was an action for libel, triel at the last assizes for Surrey, before Mr. Baron Platt and a special jury. when a verdict was found for the plaintiff, with 1,0001. damages. Seieant Shee now moved for a rule nisi, calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why that verlict should not be set aside, and a new trial granted, on the grounds that evidence was improperly received and rejected, misdirec tion, and excessive damages. Reasonable evidence, he said, was given of the original letter being abroad, and not being able to have it produced in England. The secondary evidence as to publication was proved by the Rev. H. Ivers, who swore the original letter he saw be gan "Monsieur l'Aleb6," wh,.?roa,r-, the liter he was cross examined upon began simply "Monsieur." Affidavits were novrread from Cardinal Wiseman and two others, deposing that the letter beginning " Monsieur" was the only original letter, and that he did not write the letter referred to by the Rev. H. Ivers. The original letter the Cardinal had written was in court in the possession of the party who bail come aver and had it in his custody. It became a question of serious importance now—a ques tion far beyond any amount of damage—and that was whether the cardinal had been guilty of a falsehooci and more, for the evidence of the Rev. H. Ivers was to the effect that the cardinal was putting forth as a genuine document that which he knew to be a forgery. The judge, he contended, should have received that letter. The Lord Chief Baron—For the purpose of obtaining a rule you need not further labour that point. Mr. Serjeant Shee—Upon the second point he had wanted to show at the trial that the word " expulsV was not in the original letter—that it was wrongly translated. A rule nisi was ultimately granted, on the ground that the judge ought to have decided whether the letter ten dered was the original or not, and excessive damages.
