( Vol Orb ' av C , ..( 44244b1tt0n TATTERSALL'S—THIS EVENING, No betting. ST. STEPHEN'S, WALBROOK. (THIS DAY.) An adjourned vestry meeting was heldiin the vestry room of the church to-day, chiefly for the purpose of considering a proposition for the immediate payment of the salaries for the current year, of the various parish officers" Dr. CroTy, the rector, presided. The VESTRY CLERK said he had taken the opportu nity of stating to the Master in Ch a ncery that the rents for the parish estates for the current year, amounting to a large sum, were in the hands of the receiver, and also of asking him whether the salaries of the parish officers for the same period might not very properly be defrayed oat of that sum, and he was of opinion that they might, and said he would allow such for payments when the accounts were presented to his inspection, provided such a course met with the approbation of the parishioners. The Court of Chancery had decided that there should be eight gentlemen appointed to act as trustees of the pettish estates; that, in fact, their trust should be an an nual one, and that the rents of each year should be ap plied to the expense of each year. Mr. Ruck, one of the churchwardens, congratulated the vestry upon the satistectory appearance which the parish etfairs now began . to assume, and said, as he imagined that it was the wish of the parish to begin by paying their debts, he had collected all the claims against them, but many of them were so exorbi tant, that in his opinion they would require the most strict investigation before they were paid. The parish of St. Benet Sherehog had always borne part of Vie expenses, and he thought it but right and respectable that they should act in unison with them. He begged, therefore,: to propose the following resolution:—" That Mr. Flight, Mr. Rock, Mr. Williams, and. Mr. Murrell be appointed by this parish to meet two gentlemen of the parish of St. Benet Sherehog; such six gentlemen to brm a committee for the investigation of the claims on the parish in respect of the church, for the past year, to the payMent of which the parishes are jointly liable." Mr. WILS,N seconded the resolution. Mr. Ruck said, that since the last meeting all the ar rears, with the exception of one, had been paid up, and they would now find that for the first time for many years they had a very considerable fund at their dispo sal.—(hear.) Litigation being now virtually at an end, he hoped for the future they would go on pleasantly to gether; but unless the parishioners devoted a little more attention to their affairs they would get into as much disorder and confusion as they had been in for twenty six year -a while under the administration of Mr. Gibbs. Mr. FLIGHE, churchwarden, s aid there was scarcely a man in the parish who was aware that the: 'possessed any property at all, and it was by the merest accident that he, from an interview with the Archdeacon of London, discovered that about 11 1 years ago they had property producing 111/.—(Hear, hear.) Ile then told the Archdeacon that if that were so the 111/. would now be worth 1,0001., and it turned out now that he was cur rect.—(llear, hear.) The VESTRY CLERK said that Mr. Gibbs had paid the 6001. winch was due from him. The resolution was then agreed to. Mr. Rock thought that was a fit :occasion to say a word about the projected repairs of the church. Aster paying all their debts he found that they would have re maining 1,0001., which would be amply sufficient to re pair and decorate the church so far as was necessary for the next seven or eight ye are.—(Hear.) Mr. FLIGHT said, as he held the:plate at the door last Sunday a gentleman put in half-a-crown, and at the same time whispered into his ear, " If I knew it would go to the repairs of the church, I would put in half-a sovereign." Mr. TEBBUTTS said; six years ago it was estimated that two or three thousand would not be sufficient. Mr. FLIGHT—Then, in that case, we must raise a " rate in aid."—(Laughter.) Mr. HORNER said he was a member of the select vestry, and wished very much to get out of it.— (Laughter.) He, however, begged to say that he had no thing to do a ith the law suits.—(Hear.) At the same time he thought it right to put the trustees who had been appointed upon their guard, for he could assure them that their would be two claimants for the money. —(Laughter.) The gentleman who called himself the vestry-clerk had: conducted a law suit on the part of the parish, and endeavoured to get the costs out of the funds. Upon what authority had he done so?—(A laugh.) They might laugh, but he Could tell them that the gen tlemen of the select vestry would not be satisfied with a plain refusal. The VESTRY CLERK—Who are the select vestry? We cannot ascertain. Mr. HonNEn said he had attended it the other day, and foiled a good deal of fresh blood in it, which he could assure them would not be trifled with.—(A laugh.) He thought he was not fairly treated in being laughed at and ridiculed, especially by Mr. Rock. He was sorry that legal proceedings had ever been commenced, but he begged again to say that he never had any band in them. Mr. CROSBY said he was bound to say that the pro ceedings had been carried on in a wicked and litigious spirit, but certainly not on the part of Mr. Rock. Mr. Roca. said he had been accused of laughing at Mr. Horner. He begged to say that he would laugh him utterly and entirely to scorn. He was one of those vary few individuals in the parish :rho was opposed to the just wishes of the parish, had carried on a system of litigation for years, and who endeavoured to get the property of the parish out of tha control of the parihioners; and after having carried on his opposition for years, and been utterly and entirely defeated, he came to him bewailing, bemoan ing, and he might say almost crying, and told him it he could endeavour to get Mr. Phillip'd bill paid, he would make an of ,rt to pay his (Mr. Rock's) bill out of the .a! jab funds. [Mr. Horner denied this]. But he (Mr. Ruck), although ❑ot a rich man, would not sacrifice his character in that manner.--(Hear, hear.) The parish might stand by him or not; but he would say this, that he would even undergo privations to pay the expenses of the proceedings, and sacrifice every thing but character, in order to obtain justice for the parishioners.—(clear, hear.) He scorned him as much as he did his proposition. If litigation was car ried on against him, ha begged to say that for the interest of the parish he would stand up and fight against it. He would tell Air. Horner that the last person who opposed him, and in him, justice, payed a penalty of 4,000/., without him self being put to a farthing of expense. He was pre pared to throw down the gauntlet if Mr. Horner was prepared to fight him for another six years. Ho had told the parishioners that they would at last get justice done them, and so it had turned our, to the cost of Mr. Alderman Gibbs.—(Hear, hear.) fr. HORNER denied that he had made any such offer to Mr. Rock with respect to Mr. Phillips. Mr. Rock had told bi:n that he would blow out of the parish any man who dared to interfere with him. Mr. Roca—lt is a falsehood. Dr. CROLY said he would not: listen to this alterca tion. The vestry was at an end, and he would leave the chair. A vote of thanks was then hurriedly proposed to Dr. Croly for presiding,l and he was abuut to leave the chair, when Mr. En. said—Really, Dr. Croly, I am not treated fairly, and I suppose simply because I don't happen to be upon what is called the Liberal side. Another Mr. HORNER—I am astonished, Dr. Eroly, that you allow such blackguardisns as has been used in this vestry. Dr. CROWLY -I know nothing about a Liberal or a Conservative side, but I beg to say that I will not allow the word blaekguarclism to be used by a person who calls himself a gentleman. The Rev. Do - cror then left the chair, and the meeting broke up rather hurriedly. S W IT ZERLAND. A letter from Berne of the 31st ult. says—" The Federal Council received to-day the intelligence that a great number of Piedmontese had taken refuge in the canton of the Valais by the Simplon, with their arms and baggage. The Valasian Governor, after having taken their arms away, has sent them into the interior, and written for instructions from the Federal Executive authority." AUSTRIA. A letter from Vienna of the 29th ult. states that it was generally expected that an amnesty for political offences would shortly be accorded. A letter from Pe,th of the 26th ult., addressed to the Augsburg Gazette, l states that the Austrians had bsen obliged to fall back on IVaitzen, o n ly five leagues from Ptsth. A decisive engagement was expected in the district of Berezna; the Austrians had a force of 1,000 Magyars. The fortress of Arad had been captured, is was said, by a body of Mag yarst ur.der the orders of a French officer named Dueatael. The Breslau Gazette of the 31st ult. declares that the Itttftians hail entered Gallicia, and were about to march on Hungary Dembinski, it was said, bad lost his right arm: • The sentence passed by the tribunal of Friburg on Struve an Blind, the leaders in the i nsurrection of Baden, is five years and four months' solitary impri sonment and the co,ts. The public prosecutor announced that he would appeal against the sentence, as not being equal in severity to the gravity of the offence. HOLLAND. AidsTaunam, Aran. 2.—Yesterday morning at an early hour all the bells of this city began to toll, and the steamer quitted Rotterdam for Geertruidenburg, for the purpose of taking on board the mortal remains of his late Majesty William 11. The steamer is painted black, the poop having been covered with black cloth, and a cataphoast raised on the deck, hung with black cloth, with silver supports and decorations, with a royal crown at either end, and, surmounted with a plume of black feathers. The w'nole is under cover of a black canopy, which extends from the helm to the tunnel. It is said her Majesty the Queen Dowager, the Prince of Saxe- Weimar,; Eisenbaell, and Prince Henry of the Ne therlands are on board' the steamer. This funeral steiin4 will be accompanied from Geertruidenburg by four other steamers, having on board the suite and principal mourners. The mortal remains of his Majesty will be deposited atitotterdarn THE SUN, for the night in one of the buildings of the wharf, which is hung with black cloth, and lighted up with silver candelabras. The Stoats Courant contains a list of appoint ments made by his Majesty King William 111. The Chamber of the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg, in conformity with the usual custom, on the demise of a sovereign, has held an extraordinary sitting. The Administrator-General and President of the Council, after dilating on the grief occasioned by the death of his Majesty the Grand Duke William IL, and the expectations which were built upon his successor, his Majesty, the: Grand Duke William 111., who had by letter expressed his regret that he was unable :at this moment to appear in the a aidst of his beloved Luxembourgers, invited the Thamber to pay their homage to the new Sovereign, by immediately appointing a Committee charged to proceed to the Hague for the purpose of receiving his Majesty's oath. After the discourse of the Admins trator•General, the Chamber proceeded to the nomi nation of the Bureau, when Mons. Charles Metz, who was absent, was nominated President by 41 votes out of 44, and M. Von Tornaco Vice-President, by 26 votes of 44. The Chamber decided that an address should be drawn up to the King Grand Duke, and should be carried to him by the deputation charged to receive his oath. This address was adopted in the next day's sitting. The deputation charged to carry the address to the Hague and to receive the oath of the King, is com posed:of Charles Metz as President, and twelve mem bers. With the exception of the President, who pre sided as a matter of right, the deputation was chosen by lot. EXPERIMEN TS IN THE MARSHES. WOOLWICH, APRIL 4.—The experiments at the two gun battery in the Royal Arsenal were continued to-day in the presence of Lieutenant- Colonel English, com manding officer of Royal Engineers, and Lieutenant- Colonel Cbalmer, Assistant Director-General of Artil lery. 20 rounds were fired from the 8 inch howitzer, and 20 rounds from the 32-pounder gun, a new axle having been made for the rear wheels of the iron car riage, and the gun and carriage transposed to the left side of the battery, the howitzer being taken to the right side. The firing commenced to day by discharging both guns at one time to give a greater concussion, and after the second round the gun and howitzer were placed at such angles that the shot and shell crossed each other, and a number of rounds were fired with both guns on the same angle, but no visible effect was produced, the battery standing as firm as a rock, with one exception, when a small pebble, of about three-quarters of an inch, which had not been sufficiently imbedded in the ma terial, became detached. The firing was under the direction of Captain Lawrence, R.A., who had the charge of a detachment for manning two guns. At 2 o'clock P.M. Lieutenant-General Sir Thomas Downman, C. 8., K.C.H., Commandant of the garrison; Major-General Lacy, Director-General of Artillery; Colonel Campbell, Superintendent of the Royal Military Repository; Colonel Gordon, Director of the Carriage Department; Colonel _ . Duudas, C. 8., Inspector of Artillery; Colonel Crutten den, Royal Artillery ; Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer, Assistant Director General of Artillery; Lieutenant- Colonel Bell, Royal Horse Artillery; Lieutenant-Colonel Anderson, Commanding Field Batteries; Lieutenant- Colonel Bent; Lieutenant-Colonel Nevett ; Major Burn, Assistant Inspector of Artillery; Brigade-Major Bing ham; Captain Tylden, Deputy Assistant Quartermaster- General; Captain St. George, Captain Lawrence, Captain Cannon, Captain Anderson, and a great number of officers of the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers, assembled in the marshes to witness experiments with 32-pounder shot on the principle submitted by Mr. Minesinger, an Ameri can, from Pennsylvania. The shot were cast under the di rection of Col. Dundas, at the foundry in the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich, and being mere elongated than the common round shot, Mr. Minesinger's being exactly shaped like an egg, with a slightly-curved projection, not unlike the four-leaved screw propellers, at the biggest end, they required such a quantity of metal to fill the bore of the gun that each of the six shot fired to-day weighed several onces above 461 b. Mr. Minesinger having stated that his principle would carry a much heavier shot with the usual service charge of powder, 101. for 32 pounder guns, it was to test the 461 b weight shot with the common 32-pounder shot, that the experi ments were carried on to-day. The first round fired was a round 32-pounder shot:at 1,250 yards range, the ele vation of the gun taken by a quadrant being 2i degrees. Lieutenant-Colonel Chalmer directed the firing, and the gun was so excellently laid that the first shot knocked down the target at that long range. The second round was fired with one of Mr. Minesinger's 4(.1b. shot, the gun elevated 2i degrees, and the shot tell about 150 yards short of the target, a very little to the left. The third round, with the common shot, went about a yard above the target; the fourth round, with 46-pounder, went near the base of the target on the left; the fifth round, with common shot, about five feet over the target; the sixth round, with 46-pounder, a few yards short; the seventh round, with 32. pounder shot, a few feet to the left; the eighth round, with 46-pounder, near the base of the target; the ninth round, with 32- pounder, about two feet on the left; the tenth round, with 46-pounder, a few yards short, but in a very direct line with the target; the eleventh round, with 32 pounder, close to the target; and the twelfth round, with 46. pounder, having been put into the gun without wadding, Mr. Minesinger being of opinion that the wadding was too thick and elastic, and his judgment was found to be correct, as the shut was carried several hundred yards over the mound, and, after grazing, entered the river. The two last rounds of Mr. Minesinger's shot were fired at an elevation of three degrees. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS, April 4. FRIENDLY SOCIETIES' BILL. Mr. BROTHERTON said the observations of the Hun. and Learned Gentleman who had just sat down were worthy of the deepest consideration, because it was of the utmost importance that friendly societies should be put on a safe footing. At present there was no law to prevent defalcations, and he was therefore glad that this measure had been introduced. It would prove no d ou bt very useful, but he trusted the Hon. Gentleman who had charge of it would not render it inoperative by encumbering it with heavy fees.—(Hear.) It was of the greatest importance to the country to encourage friendly societies, but he was sorry to think that many of them now in ea istence were based upon erroneous principles, and the consequence was that when a member, who had sub scribed all his life, came to require relief, h e found there;was nothing to divide—(Hear.) Another bad practice was the system of holding the meetings in public-houses. He thought that practice ought to be done away with, as well as all secret signs and the plan of placing the con trolling power entirely in the bands of the elder mem bers.—(Hear, hear) Mr. ADDERLEY said there was nothing to prevent Odd Fellows' societies coming into the law, but their secret signs. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—Yes, there is the Corresponding Societies' Act. Mr. ADDERLEY did not think that Act could prevent Odd Fellows' societies from being legalized. The funds collected by these societies were exceedingly large, and he thought this was the proper time to make an effort to induce the Odd Fellows to give up their signs, and place their funds and institutions within the jurisdiction of the law.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HUME said it was of the greatest importance that the suggestion of the Hon. and Learned Member for Plymouth should not be lost sight of.—(Hear, hear.) At present, so expensive was the mode of proceeding to obtain a legal opinion as to the solvency or va lidity of a friendly society, that societies notoriously insolvent were allowed to go on increasing the mischief they had already commenced.—(Hear.) He had always thought that the best means for securing the welfare of the icdustrious classes was the establishment of a safe and sure institution for depositing their small earnings, and he, for one, was ready to remove the difficulty the Hon. and Learned Member for Plymouth had complained of by consenting to the appointment, at the expense of the State, of competent legal officers, to whom the so cieties should have access, free of charge, wheu they entertained any doubt ea to the validity of their proceedings.—(Hear, hear.) He wished to know whether the Attorney-General would object to some measure to bring these societies into a secure state, and within the pale of the law. The defalcations that had lately taken place among these societies rendered it necessary that something should be done. The ATTORNEY. GENERAL thought that some measure must be adopted to place these societies upon a sound footing. Mr. E. DENISON trusted after what had taken place to-day some measure would be adopted to make these societies take a larger scope, by being placed on a better footing. Mr. P. SCROPE thought that the Government was the only party that could properly manage these socie ties, and he trusted that the time was not far distant be fore the whole subject would be taken into consideration by them. Lord D. STUART said that the excellence, the uti lity, and the importance of these societies was allowed on all sides; and if this was the case, it was evident that it was also important that they shonld be legal societies. Some of them had gone on, blindly no doubt, to do many in accordance with th e Hebadhoped that be should h ave been able to convince the Attorney - General last year of letter of things which thelaw. were not exactly the necessity of granting some boon to these societies. He trusted, though he had not been successful last year he hoped he might be this in inducing the Hon. and Learned Gentleman to make some provision for the ad vantage of these societies, especially including those of the Odd Fellows. Mr. E. LEWIS said that as there seemed to be some objection to the second reading of the Bill, he would suggest that it should be • a nd that it should be reintroduced with withdrawn' which had been the advantage of the improvements that plan was not spuugrgsested during the discussion, or it troduced in the sad'progrue fhe thought they might be in Mr. SOTHERON saidoe Bill through Committee. that out of the 32,000 that soci when it was recollected venue of 6,000,0001., only 14a0tvith an aggregate re -18,000 had no legal prote c tion were enrolled, while whatever so legis lation was clearly necessary upon the ' sub' was happy to accept the suggestion of the no ject. H e man, and trusted that h e m i g h t have the Gentle man, assistance of the Government in a o c mplete modelling of the whole of the law with respect to friendly societies. Mr. E. LEWIS had no objection to impose that useful duty on the Hon. Member, and would render all the aid which, as a member of the Government, it lay in his power to give. The Bill was then read it second time. LONDON, TH'URSDAY EVENING: TENANTS AT RACK RENT BILL The House then went into Committee on this Bill. Mr. SOTHERON said, that though he had for many years been a Member of that House he had never until lately known that it was competent for him to move two Bills on the same day ; the matter to which that now before the House referred was of so much consequence, that he was induced to proceed with it. He thought by the present measure a greater degree of uniformity in the management of gaols would be at tained than at present existed. Then the items that would remain would be the salary of the treasurer of the county, the cleik of the peace, and the coroner, and one or two minor items. He thought it wou ld be desirable that all parties nho feel interested in this matter should meet together during the holidays, and endeavour to agree upon some plain and intelligible plan for appor tioning those burdens fairly and equitably upon the rate payers. He hoped, however, that the House would agree to the Bill in its present shape, after adopting certain verbal amendments which seemed to be necessary. Mr. E. DENISON said his Hon. Friend found his principle carried him a great deal farther than the details of his Bill indicated. If the system of local taxation and the management of the county cess was in a satisfactory state, partial legislation, such as the Hon. Member proposed in this case, might be desirable; but was the local taxation and the management of the county cess in that satisfactory state ? He (Mr. E. Denison) thought not. lie did not wish to throw any impediment in the way of the measure, but he would put it to his Honourable Friend whether, with his own views and proposals, it would be hardly possible for the House to adopt this small modicum of legislation. As the subject was about to be taken up and considered in a beau fide manner, be trusted that his Hon. Friend would consent to put the present measure off until the Committee on the subject had made their report. Mr. SPOONER would moment to a Committee up stairs on the Bill, but there was a practical evil existing which called for a remedy, and he trusted, therefore, that his Hon. Friend would persevere with his Bill, and the passing of it would remedy a great evil, and would not interfere with the regulations that had been proposed. Mr. HUME said that the landowners and farmers were very properly complaining of the increase of the county rate, which, when the Commission was appointed, amounted to 600,0002, but had now increased to 1,000,000/. He agreed with the principle of the Bill, but it would only be partial in its operation, and be thought that the better course would be to let it go to the Committee up stairs, in order to see if it could not be made more perfect, and also more acceptable to the landowners, ratepayers, and to the country generally. Sir WILLIAM JOLLIFFE said it was simply pro posed that tenants at rack rents should be exempted from certain burdens which were cast upon them, and although he agreed that much more ought to be done, he thought that there could not be any great objection to grant those tenants a moiety of relief, for which they would be extremely grateful. Mr. SEYMER supported the Bill. Mr. C. LEWIS said that if this Bill were referred to the Committee up stairs many subjects connected with it could be maturely discussed which could not well be determined upon in the House, but he should be sorry to see it postponed, as it involved a great practical im provement. The question could hardly be considerd as one of county expenditure, because it simply related to a matter of taxation between landlord and tenant. • Mr. W. PATTEN said that the principle of the Bill was agreed upon several years ago, and, therefore, he thought it would be unfair to refer it to a Committee up stairs. He should give the Bill his warmest support. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY conceived that some mea sure was necessary, for a universal spirit of dissatisfac tion existed throughout the country. Mr. E. DENISON said that the lion. Member for Montrose (Mr. Hume) did not object to the progress of this Bill, except in so far as it was only the ground work, and not the proposal, of a larger measure. What was the principle of this Bill? Why it was this, so far as he could understand: it contained a proposition that half the expense should fall upon the landlord and half upon the tenant, yet every Member who had yet spoken had been in decided opposition to any such principle. The Hon. Member for Montrose had suggested that the Bill should be referred to a ge neral Committee, and his own feeling was quite in ac cordance with that notion. He believed that the usual course of the House was to pass the Bill through its pre sent stage, and then upon its recommittal to refer it to a Select Committee, and he would suggest that it should be referred to the same Committee as that which was instituted for the larger measure. If such a course were pursued he should withdraw his opposition. Mr. C. LEWIS explained that the nature of the Bill now before the House was altogether different from that which was introduced yesterday, and if the same Com• mittee dealt with both Bills, the probability was that the right principle would be altogether overlooked. Mr. SOTHERON said that the object of the Bill would, he conceived, be altogether lost sight of if it were to be referred to the same Committee as that which was sitting on the larger measure. The effect of such a proceeding would be to verge the small measure into the principle of the larger one. But the objects of the two Bills were altogether different, and that point which he desired to gain of an equitable -ad justment of the rates would be totally lost. He would suggest that this Bill should pass through this stage, and then be referred to a Select Committee; they would then have to wait a whole year for the benefit which he intended to obtain. Mr. E. DENISON, in explanation, said that he had no desire whatever to press his opposition. He could not see any obstacle to the reference of the two Bills to the same Committee, and was ready to withdraw his opposi tion on the understanding that the principle shoal be fully considered in Committee. After a few words from Mr. WILSON PATTEN, Mr. lIUME said the object of his Bill was for the entire management of the expenditure of the county rates, and had no reference whatever to any different apportionment. Mr. P. SCROPE hoped that the Government, having taken this subject under its consideration, would take into consideration the whole subject of local taxation. It was desirable to have a better system of audit of the accounts, and of the collection of local taxation, than has hitherto obtained. He did trust the whole subject would be taken into consideration. Here the discussion dropped. The verbal amendments were then agreed to, the House resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up on Wednesday, the 25th. SEQUESTRATORS' REMEDIES BILL. The House then went into Committee on this Bill. Mr. MULLINGS proposed the following amend ments :—Clause 1, line 7, to strike out " whenever a se questrator is," and insert " every sequestrator who shall then have been or shall thereafter be." Line 9, to strike out after "duty" the word " °Vend insert" duo or owing from." Line 10, to strike out "it shall be lawful for such sequestrator," and insert "may and is hereby au thorised and empowered." Line 16, after "n a t ure " to add "or in lieu ; ' and after "tithe," to add "or other rent or annual sum." Page 2, line 6, to strike out "Levari facies," and insert " Fieri facies de bonis Ecclesiasticis, or Levari facies de bonis Ecclesiasticis or se questrari facies." Mr. S. WORTLEY proposed the following clause:— And be it enacted, that out of the moneys to be received by any sequestrator of any benefice, the said sequestrator shall, in the first instance, pay and die charge any instalment or instalments due or to become due on such benefice in respect of any charge made thereon, or on the tithe rent charge thereof, to secure the repayment of the moneys expended in the commnta tion of the tithes of such benefice. Both amendments were agreed to without any dis cussion, T Committee then twhehnich re w clauses of resumed, and th e seport was ordered to ba brought up after the E as t er recess. were tthargorngeehd to,t he trheem House aining PARTITION OR SALE OF CHATTELS PER SONAL, HELD IN JOINT TENANCY. The House having resumed, Mr. R. PALMER rose to ask leave to bring in a Bill to authorise, in certain cases, the partition or sale of chattels personal, held in joint tenancy, or tenancy in common. He said there were in many cases great in convenience felt is dividing or disposing of property of that tenure, especially with regard to shipping. Hs himself had had many representations of their inconve nience from shipowners in Liverpool. The evil they complained of was this, that if there were a number of part-owners of a ship, the majority of the owners had the power to dispose of the ship, in cases of disagreement, against the will of the minority, who had no remedy in such cases.—(.Hear, hear.) He said he had consulted persons both in Liverpool and London who were well conversant with the operations of the law on this subject, and he proposed simply this Bill to enable parties by petition to the Court of Chan cery to have the partition or sale of chattels personal held in joint tenancy. Leave was then given to bring in the Bill. The Hon. Member subsequently brought in the Bill. POLICE IN POPULOUS TOWNS. Mr. GIBSON CRAIG, in the absence of the Lord Advocate, obtained leave to bring in a Bill to make more effectual provision for regulating the police of towns and populous places in Scotland, and ft,r paving, draining, cleansing, lighting, and improving the same. SAVINGS BANES. Mr. REYNOLDS postponed his motion until this day three weeks relative to the appo:ntmeat of a Select Committee on savings banks. REV. JAMES SHORE. After the presentation of a few petitions relative to ;he liberation of the Rev. Mr. Shore, The House adjourned, at Fi►•e o'click, until Monday, ,he 16th of April. METALLIC PRODUCE OF RusstA.—The following is a statement of the aggregate of the metallic produce of the Russian empire fur the year 1848, from the official documents :—Gold amounted to 1,826 Foods; platina, If poods; silver, 1,192 pood3; copper, 254,569 poods; wrought iron, 8,513,673 poods; 'and salt, 24,733,208 poods. Taking the pood at 361 b. avoirdupois, and mea suring the gold by the English standard of fineness, the production of the year would amount to 3.944,83 U, or, allowing for the fraction which the pood is more than 361 b. avoirdupois, to rather upwards of 4,000,000 Z star ling. The production of silver is comparatively insigni ficant, but taking it at ss. 6(1. per ounce, it would amount Chtottaiallibitoooru.ndtiaal:B. have n 8,000/.

(From the Manchester Guardian.) MANCHESTER, APRIL 3.—The India department of our market has been favourably influenced by Lord Gough's d ec i s i ve v i ctory i n t h e P u njaub , and by the in telligence th a t, even i n t h e a b senc e of informa tion from the seat of war , th ere cont i nue d to be an active call for goods and yarns at Bombay, while, at Calcutta, a steady, though rather tame, demand for goods (but not yarns) was going on at firm prices. We have consequently experi enced an increased inquiry for able tings, madapollams, jac. conets, and certain other cloths adapted to those markets. The actual business, however, has not been large; and it has been in some degree restricted today by the refusal of producers to sell atprices which were'accepted yesterday. An advance of lid. to 3d. per piece upon the attainable prices of last week has, in some instances, been realist d. The inquiry for yarns has not increased proportionately with that for goods; yet an advacco of ; I- to # per lb. is asked upon India qualities. It is too soon to judge of the effect of the Overland advices; but the merchants appear disposed to act with much caution. ROCHDALE, APRIL 2.—Wo have had another dull market to day—something like that of the preceding Monday. Prices have been low, and the manufacturers are poorly remunerated for their labour. There has been very little doing in wool, but prices continue firm. HALIFAX, MARCH 31.—The do mend for worsted goods is still languid, the merchants being unwilling to accede to th e p r i ces asked b y t h e manufacturers, and the latter b e i ng equa ll y unw illi ng to accept prices be low the cost of production. Yarns maintain their firmness, and the spinners are busy on old orders ; but new orders are cautiously given out by the shipping houses, partly on account of the state of the continent and partly on account of price. The wool market is not active, and the quotations manifest a slightly downward tendency. APRIL 5, 1849, LEEDS, APRIL 3.—%Ve have had today a very in different mlrket; nor was there much doing in the warehouses this last week. We may, however, soon experience some improvement in the export trade, as the prospects for a good fall-trade to America continue cheering, and the latest accounts from the continent and from India are so much more favourable.

SIR,--" The earth hath bubbles," as the past week can testify, for it has witnessed the bursting of the largest and most enduring of sporting bubbles ever recorded in the annals of the turf; the Tartar or Stockbridge bubble will go down to posterity, at least to the racing portion of it, as a fair specimen of the gullibility of the " cutest" division of John Bull's speculative children. This bubble, unlike Mr. Day's nag, was gifted with lasting qualities of the first order, this being the fifth time, I believe, that it has been played .off upon the unsuspecting public as a " crack thing." I naturally enough,:ilike many others, thought that young John, at last, was in this Tartar about to pro duce a flyer, especially as the stab.c was "on" him; and, in consequence, in my last letter placed him first fur the Great Northamptonshire Stakes, and Fernhill (he winner) " we ll up; " but time has told another talc —the bubble's burst, and left a vast wreck of hopes behind. Quiver, after winning the Guineas, and " polishing " off The Hero of Stockbridge, and seven others, in a canter! was sold to the Duke of Richmond fur 600 guineas, and I have no hesitation in declaring that his Grace has the best of the bargain. In my first note bartered on " Fortune's 'change," o❑ the Northampton meeting, I was right in four instances out of seven, and in two of the remaining three I named the second horse, to wit—Cadger for the Althorpe Park Stakes, and Miss Burns for the 10 sovs. Sti,kes; if the like success attend me through the season, my notes will be a profitable speculation to your numerous sport ing readers. I will now attempt through the double lens of my judgment to peer into the future, and bring to your view " the baby figure of the giant mass of things to come," or in other words to select such horses as have first rate chances, and are intended, for die leading stakes of the present year; those asterisked I consider to have the best chance.

(Before Mr. WATSON, Q.C., Acting Assessor.) CRIM. CON.—HARTLEY V. THOMPSON. This day a jury was empanelled before the Under- Sheriff of Lancashire, at Liverpool, to assess the da mages in a case of trim. con., in which the defendant, had allowed judgment to go by default. The plaintiff, Mr. J. B. Hartley, is a surveyor in Liverpool, and is in partnership with his father, who holds the office of surveyor to the Liverpool Dock Estate. The defendant, Mr. Thompson, is a civil engineer, and for the last year or two has been residing in the neighbourhood of Liverpool, having been employed by the Lincolnshire and Yorkshire Railway company as their acting engineer during the construction of the Liverpool and Bury portion of their line. In construct ing a part of the line of railway which comes near the Liverpool docks the defendant had frequent interviews with the plaintiff of a business nature, and these re peated interviews laid the foundation of a close inti macy which subsequently sprang up between the parties. This led to the defendant being received as guest at the ho use of the plaintiff a frequ en t was introduc e d, an d . to wh ose family he , the friendship beCiveen the parties increasing, the defendant was in the habit of paying complimentary visits to the plaintiff 's house, and wa:, there during the absence of the plaintiff from home. It was during the time the defendant was so pri vileged to visit the house as the friend of the plain tiff that the unfortunate intimacy between Mrs. Hartley and the defendant was contracted, and in conse quence of which the present action had been instituted. Mr. Martin, Q.C., and Mr. Crompton, appeared for the plaintiff and Sir Frederick Thesiger and Mr. James for the defendant. The damages were laid at 10,000/. The jury having been sworn, Mr. Ai AIiTIN rose to address them for the plaintiff: He said he was happy to state that they would be spared the hearing of a very painful investigation. Rhe (the Learned Counsel) were merely to consult the feelings of Mr. Hartley, they would have such a detail of circumstances laid before them in connexion with the case us were probably never before proved in a court of justice. From certain communications which hao been made to Mr. Hartley, referring lo a false allegation of unkindness towards his wife, he had been exceedingly desirous that this matter should have been fully anti pub licly investigated; but there were other parties to bo considered besides the plaintiff's wife—ths re were the feelings of the relatives of the lady, the feelings of er aunt and an u nmarr i e d sister, to be consid g ered, h and, under thes e c i rcumstances, n the Plaintiff had c onsented to submit, n ot w i thstanding bis st rong desire to have his cou nse l Ibis matter ad to fully i nvestigated, t o the advice of his own goo d feelings, and was content t o ta k e hands. It was a verdict f or 4,0001. at their better on all occasions that such matters agation. H s these should not be made a subj ec t o f pu b lic inves had beenactuated by the feeling s h e h a d mentioned— by a strong desire to spare the feelins of e woman who for fi ve years had been his wife, and also th the feel ings of her family. Sir F. THEsisaezt then rose, and said, that when he undertook the conduct of that defence his desire ix as that Mr. Hartley should obtain the fullest reparation for the deep injury which had been inflicted on him by the defendant, but that such reparation should be made by sparing, as much as possible, the feelings of th e parties who were connected' with the case. He (Sir F. Thesiger) felt it his duty, on the part of the defendant, to make the only atonement now at the last moment, late as it was, which it was in his power to make. He acknowledged that Mr. Hartley had been deeply injured, and, if any imputations had been placed upon him, they were entirely unfounded and com pletely untrue. A verdict was then returned for the plaintiff, damages 4,0001., and the proceedings terminated, not having occu pied more than ten minutes.
