GLORIOUS GOODWOOD ! The stir and the bustle of preparation for the Good wood Meeting are widely displayed. Already have many turfites packed up their "properties," and flitted away to the Sussex coast. At Chichester and Singleton people are on the constant look out for horses, and augur, from the demand for stable accommodation, that, so far as the fields are concerned, the meeting will be worthy of its most brilliant predecessors. The pro gramme is, as usual, strong in attraction, the list for each day possessing its distinguishing " feature." On Tuesday, the opening day, the Stewards' Cup will be run for ; on Wednesday " the Stakes," and the North and South Biennial Stakes, for two-year-olds ; on Thursday the Cup ; and on Friday the Nursery Stakes. The betting on the Goodwood Stakes has, within the last three days, undergone a marked and significant c h ange . Epaminondas is now the ruling favourite, and the Newmarket folk deem the race all over but shouting. Surgeon-Gener al is st eady, whilst a simultaneous move ment in Manchester and London yesterday brought Quince ea o g n is again prominently i n t o no ti ce . Oulst reinstated in his "pride of place" for the Cup, and has the decided call of the "foreigner," Baron cino. Among the horses likely to fulfil their respective en gagements at Goodwood will be Fly-by-night, the first favourite for the Derby, West Langton, and Voivode— animals that have also been much talked about in con nection with their chance for the Great Epsom Encoun ter, 185 G. St. Huber t, altho ugh only half prepared, will also put in an appearance to convince his St. Leger backers that he is again sound and well. Altogether the meeting seems likely to be attended with the most important results. On Monday I will enter fully into a discussion of the probabilities. A FRESH MAN. July 23. NEWMIRKET, Saturday.—Left this morning for Good wood :—Epaminondas, Amshee, Pugnator, Besonian, Hazel, Besika, Flageolet, Alcyone, Raglan, Protest, and Nicotine. Syvagee bas broken down. MABYLEBONE ELECTION. (THIS DAY.) crinsecoielice of the appointment of Sir Del,ja , n;n Hall to be Chief Commissioner of Public Works, a va cancy was caused in the representation of this borough, and therefore it was determined by the returning officer, C-. Tamplin, Esq., to appoint this day, at eleven o'clock, for the electron of a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Maryleboue in Parliament. The hustings were erected as usual in Park-crescent. Among the gentlemen present we observed—Jacob Bell, Esq., Sir Walter Stirling, W. Williams, Esq., M.P. for Lambeth, Lord Ebrington, &c., &c. At eleven o'clock Sir B. Hall, accompanied by his friends, arrived in a carriage gaily decorated with crimson. The committee of the hon. gentleman all wore a crimson clove in their coats. The right lion. baronet was most enthusiastically received. At ten minutes after 11 o'clock Mr. G. TAMPLIN opened the proceedings, and entreated a fair and im partial hearing for any and every gentleman who wished to address the electors. Ho said they were assembled there again under circumstances of a very different de scription to those which called them together on the last occasion. Then they were called together to elect a successor to one whose memory will ever be remembered. Now they were assembled to re-elect Sir B. Hall, who had been called upon by her Majesty to fulfil a very im portant office. The selection of the hon. baronet the member for Marylebone would by all of them be deemed a great honour. (Cheers.) He did not know that any opposition would bo offered to the re-election of Sir Benjamin Hall ; he had heard of none. Without detaining them any longer, he would call upon Dr. Joseph to nominate Sir B. Hall. (Cheers.) Dr. JOSEPH then came forward to propose Sir B. Hall. In doing so he passed a high eulogium upon the hon. baronet. He alluded to the great efforts that had been made by their late representative to improve the metro polis, and he felt that when the history of the present Parliament would have to be written, the two acts which would hereafter be known as "Hall's Acts" would be quite sufficient to stamp his fame. He had now had the honour of representing Marylebone for 18 years, which fact of itself was sufficient to secure the return of the right hon. gentleman. He, therefore, called upon the meeting to elect Sir B. Hall to the vacant seat. Mr. SToclvroN said he had great pleasure in seconding the motion. The RETURNING OFFICER having inquired whether there was any other candidate to propose, and none ap• pearing, declared the Right Ron. Sir Benjamin Hall, Bart., duly elected, amidst the most vociferous cheer ing. Sir B. HALL came forward and said he begged most heartily to thank them for the honour that had just been conferred upon him. After paying a compliment to the memory of the late Joseph Hume and Lord Dudley Stuart, he proceeded to say that in the month of August last he was invited to accept office, and he had no hesita tion in so doing, because he felt that the electors of Mary lebone were perfectly satisfied with him. In the office over which he then bad the honour to preside he had done all that was possible for the interests of the borough of Maryiebone. He had introduced a measure for the better' management of the metropolis, and he had great pleasure in saying that that measure had passed through the House of Commons, and bad been read a second time in the House of Lords. Im mediately that act received the royal assent the evils of divided responsibility, which had so long existed, vrould be swept away. (Cheers.) He felt that the as sembled electors would expect to hear from him some thing relative to the war ; and he would therefore just make one or two remarks with respect to it. A great deal had been said about Lord Palmerston—whether he was sincere in pro secuting it with vigour. It was said, when ho was Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, they were sure of having the war vigorously and energetically prosecuted so long as the noble lord re mained in the Cabinet ; and now he , (Sir B. Hall) aelted any candid man what had occurred since he became First Minister of the Crown that had given any ground for sus pecting that he had for a moment neglected anything that was necessary for a vigorous, energetic, and successful prosecution of the war f He had opportunities of closely watching the conduct of the noble lord, and he felt that the noble lord was perfectly sincere in his objects and entertaining that opinion he felt that as a public man it was his (Sir B. Hall's) duty not to shrink from the expression of his honest opinion. When Lord Aberdeen was in office Lord Palmerston was, in fact, Minister of War, although he never virtually held the seals of office—but in a few hours after ho was the First Minister of the Crown ; and let his enemies say what they might, he (Sir B. Hall) again ri iterated that he had not for an instantrelaxed his exer tions. No doubt many present had read Lord Claren don's despatches, and let him ask whether there was any thing to find fault with in them, for it ought to be well Known that those despatches gave a clear view of the opinions of Lord Palmerston, as those despatches would never have gone forth had not he given his assent to them. (Cheers.) Then again let thole look to a most important document that had made its appearance within the last 4S hours—he meant the instructions to Lord J. Russell. Those instructions, he felt assured, were of themselves sufficient to jusl him in saying that Lord Palmerston was honest. He ( ir B. Hall) felt he need hardly assure the assembled electors of Marylebone that 'he, their representative, would never have given his support to or joined any Government that was not determined to prosecute the just and necessary war in which we were engaged with the utinest determination and vigour ; and with those feelings and opinions he had joined Lord Palmerston's Ministry, feeling convinced that he was perfectly sincere,'honest, and just with re spect to the conduct of the war. (Loud cheers.) It was now eighteen years since he first stood before them. He was then a much younger man than he was at pre sent, and heiwas told that ho might succeed once, but never again. (Laughter.) The same thing had occurred again with respect to the new appointment he had just been called upon to fill. He was at first told he would not succeed, but he had done so, and he now stood before them, now that he had been placed in a higher sphere, to obtain their approbation; and to inform them that their interests . would not suffer in consequence of his having been transferred to another office. (Loud cheers.) Their proceedin g s to-day had been very har moniously conducted, and he sincerely trusted that the same course would be pursued when another election should take place. The hon. gentleman then retired amidst vociferous cheering.) Mr. BEACON said he begged to give a hint to the re presentative, which he thought he might lay before his colleague. It was said that tha Chancellor of the Ex chequer was greatly in want of money. Nuw he begged to suggest the propriety of taxing titles. (Hear, and laughter.) It was the course pursued when James I. was king, and he raised a pretty considerable sum by it. (Laughter.) He had a regular scale of prices, and he believed the charge for a knighthood , was three hun dred pounds—(laughter)—and such was the avidity with which the honour was sought after that ladies pawned their jewels to obtain for their husbands the coveted honour. He had a regular scale---(laughter)— and all who wanted titles would pay for it. (Continued laughter.) Let them only consent to tax earls, lords, honourables, and right honourables, and then they could afford to let them have their tea, coffee, and sugar cheaper than they did at present. (Loud laughter.) Sir B. HALL then cane forward and proposed a vote of thanks to the returning officer, G. Tamplin, Esq. Mr. J. BELL said it afforded him much gratification in seconding the motion. With respect to their esteemed representative the electors bad for eighteen years been satisfied with his exertions, and he thought that a very great deal for him to be able to say. The honourable gentleman had risen step by step to the position he at present occupied, and when lie was called upon to assume a much higher office he was sure he would be found equal to the emergency. It was said that, on joining the present Government, he (Sir B. Hall) was joining a bad lot ; but the only way to reform a Government was to infuse new blood into it. (Loud cheers.) On a call being made for Lord EBRINGTON, the noble lord came forward, and was received with hisses, groans, and other discordant sounds, drowning what he at. tempted to address to the assembly. At length the returning officer obtained a hearing for him, and the noble lord proceeded with his address. He said ho had not Intended to address to them a single observation had he not been called for. (Hisses.) It was not his habit to be put down by clamour, and he felt that wh en he n ext came before them to solicit a renewal--(the remainder of the sentence was lost amidst cries of " No more," " No snore," and " Sun day Beer Bill.") He heard the cry of "Sunday Beer Bill," but with the pas sin g of that measure he had no thing to do—he was not in Parlia ment when it was passed. With respect to the Sund a y T ra di ng Bill— h i a s s s e e s furnitureand groans)—he r o aannd c lothing on other day s th a n Sundays. He did think it was poss ibf e t o p nr - h He had been solicited to support that bill at the instance of a great number of small tradesmen, who complained that, in consequence of the evil arising from Sunday trading, they were precluded from visiting Greenwich park and other places on Sundays. He did not think it expedient to work seven days each week, and he believed it was impossible to make a man either sober or reli gious by Act of Parliament. Whether a man went for a trip into the country or to church was his own affair, and he thought he had a perfect right to do as he pleased—(loud cheers)—and as an instance of his sin cerity he had given notice of a motion for the next Ses sion of Parliament, the effect of which would be to open both the British Museum and the Crystal Palace on Sunday. (Loud cheers) With re snect to the conduct of the war, he felt sure every vote of his, from the Sebastopol committee inquiry down to the vote he gave last night on the Turkish loaw, would prove his sincerity ; and, as regards Lord Palmerston, he felt sure that his most anxious desire was to pursue the war with that vigour which befitted a great country like this. Entertaining those sentiments with respect to Lord Pal merston' he thought it would be base of him if he did no t stand up and defend him. (Loud cheers.) The returning officer then bespoke a hearing for a gentleman named Roberts, a non-elector, and he having alluded to several local matters requiring reform, the proceedings terminated, Busthess io rlc,y. fribtrb tat a SUN OFFICE, Six o'Clock.

INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE POLICE.—(THIS DAY.) The Commissioners took their seats this morning at 20 minutes past 11 o'clock. Mr. Ellice commenced the proceedings ] by calling evidence in support of 147 A's evidence relative to the sticks he stated he took from the persons who attacked him in the park on the Ist inst. 73, 577, and 536 A swore they went with 147 A to the dairy lodge, and there saw two sticks he pointed out as the sticks so taken. 84 D saw the two sticks at Vine-street station on the Tuesday following. He saw similar sticks to those produced in the park on Sunday, and had one in his hand. (The sticks, which are made of deal, are about two feet long and an inch in dia meter at the largest end, and of rather formidable appearance). He said he was on duty in plain clothes and saw four men with these sticks, some of which were painted blue. The men carried them in their pockets, and he saw one of them put one of the sticks up his coat sleeve, saying " the shall have it to day." He watched them for a short time and then missed them. By ➢Zr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—Did you give information of it to any one at the time ? Witness—Yes. By Mr. Commissioner Won;ley—To whom ? Witness—To a constable. By Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—Do you know his number? Witness—No ; he was one of the A division. Mr. Commissioner Armstrong—Did you come here to .ell us that? Fitness—No. He mentioned the circumstance above alluded to in a report he made to his superior officer. By Mr. Mitchell—When did you make the report ? Witness—One or two days after the Sunday. By Mr. Mitchell—Will you swear these men with the sticks were not paid agents of the police ? Witness—l shouldn't think the police such fools as to do that. Police-Sergeant 349 A. said he was 35 years of age, and had been in the force 14 years. As he was taking his men down the drive be was struck by a stone thrown at the police. He denied coming in contact or striking a cripple. (This is the man identified by Martin, of the Royal Albert, wounded in the trenches before Sebasto pol.) Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He struck no one during the day. By Mr. Commissioner Henderson—Might you not unknowingly have touched or struck a crippled sailor ? Witness—l do not think it possible. Police-sergeant 31 D, 25 years of age, and has been in the force two years. He denied striking a boy when on the ground. As he was taking a boy into custody the crowd pressed so much on them that they both fell down, the boy's elbow striking witness in the chest, which caused him much suffering, being subject to pal pitation of the heart. It was in consequence of the pain he felb that he left the boy and went to the rail ings, and not for feeling ashamed of his conduct as de posed by Mr. J. A. Blanchard. He was called after " rabbit-pie," " area sneak," &c. (Laughter.) Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He did not strike any one during the day. He did not know of any person being struck that day by the police. 375 A, examined yesterday as a corroborative witness, deposed to-day he did not kick a man on the ground, nor strike a man over the temple. He was conveying a pri soner to Vine-street station the time he was sworn to being in the park. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He had had many such " shindies" in his life, but it was not his practice, when in the Irish constabulary, to knock people down. Re did not see a man struck during the day. By Mr. Commissioner Henderson— He did not chase a man over the green. The lad he had in custody fell on the ground, but he did not kick or strike him. There was a discrepancy also here with regard to the time spoken of by Mr. Blanchard and the time witness took the lad into custody, which is very likely, when it is considered the public who witnessed the acts com #plained of had no idea of being called up to state them and the time at which they occurred. The difference of time in most cases is so trifling as not to make it a material circumstance in exonerating the men charged with the particular offences. 337 A has been in the police force upwards of six years. He denied he struck any boys as spoken to by Mr. Ayrton. He struck at them to drive them away. In reply to questions from the Commissioner he said he did not strike at the boys, but waved his staff to frighten them. 109 B, the man who apprehended Mr. Bawstead, a commercial traveller, on his way to Brompton with his wife, was next called. Mr. Bawstead did not attend to identify the man, but bad written a letter to Mr. Ellice stating he had no complaint against the policeman per sonally. He complained of his apprehension, and after wards the refusal of bail. In reply to Mr. Ellice's ques tions, the policeman said he apprehended Bawstead for hissing and shouting at the top of his voice, and charged him with riotous conduct. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—Superdt. Hughes cautioned Mr. Bawstead before he was taken into ens tody. After that he hissed at a cab passing with priso ners, and witness took him into custody. Mr. Hughes was on his horse in front of Mr. Bawstead at the time. Mr. Hughes was perfectly cool and collected the whole of the day. He did not strike any one during the day. Police Serjeant 403 A is 30 years of age, and has been in the force upwards of 10 years. He took Mr. Rey nolds into custody after cautioning him. He denied more violence was used than was necessary to take him into custody. He did not ask the other constables to desist from striking Reynolds. He did not strike him when conveying him in a cab to the station. No evi dence was given against Reynolds before the magis- trates. 31 G corroborated the last man's evidence. He did not strike Reynolds. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He was in the Park from 2 o'clock till half-past 9 o'clock, and during that time he saw no one struck by the police. 354 A was in the cab with 403 A and Reynolds: 403 did not strike him. Reynold was waving his handker chief out of the cab window, and 403 A pulled his arm back. He struck no one for the day. 554 A is 25 years of age, and has been in the force about 7or 8 months. He was not ordered to take a man into custody by Inspector Martin, as spoken to by Mr. Geo. Payne. He was not aware his conduct that day entitled it to be " characterised by brutality" or acting under " periodical fits of something or other." He struck no man during the day. Police sergeant 20 A, is 26 years of age, and has been in the service seven years. He was on leave that day, and not in Hyde-park as spoken to by Mr. Henry Horton. Mr. Ellice said it was strange that in all the cases of the men in the park on the Ist, the witness who had spoken to their numbers had not appeared to identify them. Inspector Bray deposed police sergeant 20 A was not on duty that day. 380 A denied that he rushed on a little 'boy 14 years of age, and struck him on the back or used disgusting language that day. He struck one man because he at tempted to rescue a prisoner. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He heard many re marKs of " Rabbit Pie," "who Stole the Goose ? " &a , but he never took persons into custody for it because he attributed it to their ignorance. John King, the boy who it was stated by his father was struck so violently by 147 A, was unable to identify him. 147 A, in answer to a question from the Commis sioner, said he was unable to identify the lad as the one from whom he took one of the sticks he produced. 20 D was identified by James Vassey as the police man who assaulted him. The policeman said he struck at a young man like Vassey, but be did not thinkhe hit him. He should have taken Vas se y into custody could he have got at him, " thinking" he was the per son who threw the stick that struck him at the back of the neck. 551 A has been in the force 2 months, and is 24 years of age. (This is the man identified by Mr, Marsh, who, it will be recollected, mistook the number for 155.) He denied striking or poking any one with his truncheon. He had no recollection of anything being said about the Beer Bill or Sunday Trading Bill. He took one ma❑ into custody, but whether it was a novelty or not he could not say. He had never Lad a day's schooling. 113 A (spoken to by Robert Ward, who did not at tend to identify him) has been in the force 12 years. Was on duty at the Victoria Tower, Houses of Parliament, on the Ist July. He has been en duty there for many years. _ . Martha Loader saw 113 A in his house about half past 4 o'clock o❑ the afternoon of the let July. 58 A (spoken to by the same witness) has been 21 years in the force, and previous to that he was in the Bristol police force. He was not in the Park at the time deposed to by Mr. Ward. He struck no one, but he " flashed" his staff many times that day. He was in the park when the picquet with their " bagonets" came out for the soldiers. 392 A (also spoken to by Mr. Ward) has been in the force seven years. He struck no one that day. He saw a boy bleeding in a soldier's arms. Did not threaten to crack a drunken man's "nut." (Laughter.) 385 A stated the boy was injured before he and the last witness got to him. Inspector Webb, C. division (spoken to by Mr. Franklyn), has been in the force 16 years. Was made an inspector in 1854. He was in Park street, with two sergeants and 20 men, besides 3 patrols. He did no t g i ve or d ers to clear the street. In consequence of the shouting, he called out ten men to disperse the crowd assembled in front of Lord Robert Grosvenor's house ; but consider ing he had not sufficient force to clear the street, he sent to Stanhope gate for assistance. On their coming up they commenced clearing the street. Franklyn, who was there, passed on to Reeve's Mews, between the two bodies of police, shouting and hissing, and it was for that he was taken into custody. He was then handed over to 337 A ; he resisted very much, and Frank lyn's wife struck one of the police with her parasol. He saw no one strike him. When before the magistrates. Franklyn made no such complaint as that before the Commissioners. He gave no orders for the wife to be taken into custody. He advised her to go home. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—Franklyn was re peatedly cautioned before he was taken into custody. There was much said and written the following day about the conduct of the police, but he took no heed of it. The patrols were in plain clothes. By Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley—He first saw in front of Lord R. Grosvenor's house about 1,000 people, which increased there and in the vicinity to from 2,000 to 4,000. The turbulent crowd amounted to about 1,000. The crowd was obstinate, and would not move on when requested. The men under him did their utmost to disperse the crowd before sending for assistance. The crowd were hissing and shouting, some saying, " Chuck him out," " Pitch him out." Super intendent O'Brien took charge of his men and gave them directions. Witness took no instructions from Super intendent O'Brien. He had no doubt when the " reserves" came up his men drew their truncheons. He was un able to say what his ten men did when the reserve were clearing the street. After the street was cleared his men were relieved by the other ten men he had there ; but they did not use their truncheons. He saw Picken pack bleeding, and had him taken to the hospital. He had no doubt the police struck some persons. He was unable to say who struck Pickenpack ; that was the only man he saw or hear dwho was struck. He thought it was impossible for any one to describe what took place that night. 337 A, who had Franklyn in custody, said he was assisted by several policemen in taking him to the sta tion, but he could only give the number of one of them, 340 A. He did not see any one strike him. Had any one done so he thought he must have seen it. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell— Franklyn's wife joined in hissing, and waved her parasol. He could net say whether it would have been better to have used more persuasion and less force. He was in favour of persuasion. No orders were given by Superintendent O'Brien to draw truncheons, but some dj,d it when he ordered them to clear the street. The people appeared to get away as quick as they could. The men were told at Stanhope gate and the station-house to use forbearance, and not draw their truncheons until compelled. Inspector Combe, C division, was on duty at Vine street station. He has been in the service near 16 years. He saw Franklyn brought to the station, but he did not appear to be wounded. He made no complaint. 63 A has been in the service near two years. He was on duty till 5 o'clock at Buckingham-palace. After that he went to the Park from curiosity. He could almost swear he didn't say "go along you b-- barber." He was assailed with offensive epithets, and struck severely on the head with a stone. On cross-examination by Mr. Mitchell he said he could honestly swear he didn't use the above expression. Mr. Chief Commissioner Wortley said, as Mr. M'Lownean gave the name and address of the person to whom the policeman made the observation above re ferred to, it would have been better to have called him either to exonerate the policeman or fix the charge on The whole of the charges against individual police men having been gone through, the court adjourned till 11 o'clock on Monday morning. 63 23 3 90 66 125 k G5l 6 sog i 1001 li 98 i 86 i i 69 70 113 a 2'4 is 1011 211 20 FRIENDLY SOCIETIES. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Through the medium of your columns, I would call the attention of the members of friendly societies to some of the provisions of the New Friendly Societies' Act, 18 and 19 Vict., c. 68, - which received the Royal Assent on the 23d inst., and is to come into operation on the Ist of August. By the 18 and 19 Vict., c. 63, all the previous acts relating to these societies are repealed, except as to sub sisting societies, although nearly the whole of the sec tions are made applicable to such societies. Friendly societies in future can only be established 1. For insuring a sum of money to be paid on the birth of a member's child, or on the death of a member, or for the funeral expenses cf the wife or child of a member. 2. For the relief or maintenance of the members, their husbands, wives, children, brothers or sisters, nephews or nieces, in old age, sickness, or widowhood, or the endowment of members, or nominees of members at any age. 3. For any purpose which shall be authorised by one of her Majesty's principal Secretaries of State, or in Scotland, by the Lord Advocate, as a purpose to which the powers and facilities of the act ought to be extended, and the sum to be assured on any contingency is in creased to 2001., but no annuity is to exceed 301. per annum. • No money to be paid for the funeral expenses of a child, except upon production of a copy of the entry in the register of deaths, and if such entry shall not state that the cause of death has been certified by a qualified medical practitioner, then a certificate, signed by a qualified medical practitioner, stating the probable cause of death, shall be required, and the sum payable for the funeral expenses of a child under 5 not to exceed six pounds, and of a child between 5 and 10 not to exceed 101. By sec. 16— the trustees of a Friendly Society may purchase, build, hire, or take on loan any building for the purpose of holding the meetinfis of the society. By sec. 24 a remedy is given by application to sureties against any officer, &c., who shall wilfully apply any part of the funds to purposes other than those expressed or directed in the rules. _ _ _ A proviso is made against circulating copies of rules or alterations as being certified by the Registrar, when they have not been so certified. By sec. 32, further facilities than those given in the former acts of investing the funds of Friendly Societies are given, or will, as by sec. 33, extend powers to the Registrar to ordor the transfer of stock and money in Savings Banks, where the trustee is absent from Eng land, &c., or been removed from office, &c. With respect to the settlement of disputes, consider able alteration has been made in the law. The rules may direct the manner in which disputes between'a member or person claiming on account of a member, or under the rules, shall be decided, and the mode of enforcing the decision of the arbitrators, or of deciding such disputes if no award is made, &c., is by application to the county courts ; and after the Ist of August next, the power of justices to decide disputes under rules which referred the decision to them is taken away, and such deputies must after that day be referred to and decided by the county courts. By sec. 55 every society, already or hereafter esta blished, is once in every year in the months of January, February, or March, to transmit to the registrar a gene ral statement cf the funds and effects of such society during the past twelve months, or a copy of their last annual report. This provision supersedes the necessity of the annual return required under the repealed acts being sent to the registrar. In the case of a member in the militia serving out of the United Kingdom the society have power, in certain cases, to demand an extra con tribution during such service—s. 47. There are no fees payable to the registrar for his cer tificate to rules or alterations after the Ist of August next, and I am preparing forms of those rules required by 13 and 19 Vict., c. 63, s. 25, which may shortly be obtained, on application to me, by letter prepaid. The importance of the subject must be my excu se _ for the length of this letter.—l am, sir, yours faithful l y, JOHN TIDD PRATT, London, 27th July, 18 Registrar of Friendlyss.

The house then went into committee on the abc bill. On clause 1, Mr. WILKINSON moved an amenthnent to exam insurance companies. Mr. HENLEY opposed the amendment. If such exemption were extended to insurance companies, aur they could not refuse to extend the same principle banks. Mr. BOUVERIE said banks were treated special and therefore the provisions of this bill were not tended to them. After some furthe r discussion, The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said the introducti of limited liability was no new principle in our la Insurance companies were at liberty to introduce ii their charters the principle of limited liability, and t principle of this act would not at all interfere with th right to do so. (hear.) Mr. M. CHAMBERS was of opinion it would right to extend to insurance companies the principle limited liability, but he thought the law was not yet ri for that purpose. Mr. A. WILKINSON then withdrew his amendmei Viscount GODERICH then moved the amendment which he had given notice, namely, to leave out of t' operation of the bill any company having a capital sto of the nominal amount of not less than 20,0001., divid into shares of a nominal value of not less than 251. E object in moving this amendment was to give the bet fit of this bill to companies that had less capital tb; 20,0001., and not to allow companies that had a capit of 20,0001. and upwards to have a monopoly. Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the amendment. 1 could not see why any party having a capital of ov. only 1,0001. should not be entitled to.the benefits of tl bill. Mr. EWART supported the amendment of the not viscount (Goderich), considering that the benefit of t► bill ought to be extended to small capitalists. Mr. A. WILKINSON also supported the amen ment of the noble viscount, thinking that the man wl had small means and the most honest intentions oug to be allowed to avail himself, if he thought fit, of tl provisions of the bill. Mr. HASTIE supported the amendment, thinkir that its operations ought to be taken advantage of by tl middling classes. Mr. BOUVERIE was willing, if it met with the a probation of the committee, to reduce the amount of ti minimum capital to 10,0001., and the value of tl shares to 201. instead of 251. Mr. MITCHELL thought the course taken by tl Government was inconsistent with that which it hi pursued en former occasions. He could not see why as limit should be made as to the amount of capital. Mr. HENLEY could not see the necessity for limi ing the amount of capital at all. He thought it wou be far better to leave parties to look to the nature of tl• concern in which they proposed to embark, and leaf them to do as they like, putting aside any notion y tmit altogether. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the of the bill was to define each man's liability, and to lish to the world what those liabilities were. If th present amendment was carried, and he believed that t be the object of its noble mover—(cries of " No, no, from Lord Goderich)—the whole preamble of the bii would be vitiates. Mr. CARDWELL said the object of the bill was to cut up monopoly by the root, and he asserted that if the bill was carried with any limitation, monopoly, instead of being cut up by the root, would be increased and multi plied. He warned the small traders of the country that if this bill passed with any limit, they would be a , the mercy of the great capitalists. If the bill was carried without any limit the law would be clear to everybody, and they would only have themselves to blame if they got into difficulty. Lord PALMERSTON said that the limit of 10,0001. was quite sufficient to show that a real existence was given to substantial companies, but to give the same ad vantage to companies of greatly smaller capital appeared to him ridiculous ; for instance to companies of shares of the value of is. 6d. and 201. capital. Mr. LOWE maintained that the badge of fraud was large capitals and not small ones. He should, there fore, support the amendment of the noble viscount. Lord J. MANNERS supported the amendment, be lieving that there ought to be no limits in the bill. Viscount GODERICH replied, stating his determi nation to persevere in his amendment. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL stated, that if the amendment of the noble viscount was carried, it would be impossible to carry out the principle of the bill. Mr. HENLEY deprecated the course pursued by the Solicitor-General, and considered it unworthy of the high poi.ition he held. Mr. COWAN, in order to relieve the Government front the difficulty into which they appeared to have got, would move that the Chairman should report progress. Strangers were then ordered to withdraw, but Lord PALMERSTON said be would not trouble the house to divide upon the amendment. (Hear, hear.) The provision therefore with respect to the limitation of capital was omitted from the clause. Lord GODERICH then proposed an amendment to omit the words fixing the amount of shares, and upon it the committee divided, when there appeared— For the original motion Against it 34 Majority against amendment —s4 The amendment was consequently lost. Mr. WILLIAMS then moved the substitution of 51. for 251. as the amount of shares. Viscount EBRINGTON seconded the amendment. Mr. BOUVERIE opposed the amendment, but stated his willingness to substitute 101. provided 50 per cent. of the shares was paid up. The house then resumed, the chairman reported pro gress, and obtained leave to sit again to-morrow at 12 o'clock. TURKISH LOAN. Lord PALMERSTON stated it to be his intention when the house resumed at six o'clock to move that all the other orders of the day should be postponed for considering the Turkish Loan Bill in committee. The house adjourned shortly before 4 o'clock to 6. The house resumed at six o'clock. ORDER OF MERIT. Lord ELCFIO asked the First Lord of the Treasury if the intention of instituting a new order of merit for distin guished services in the field, which was publicly announced by the Duke of Newcastle in the month of December, had been abandoned ; and if not, what was the cause of the delay, and when it was probable that it would be instituted and ready for distribution ? Lord PALMERSTON—It was the intention of Govern ment to issue the regulations for instituting the new order as soon as possible. The only cause of delay had been, that when they came to make detailed arrangements as to the practical test that was to be applied to private soldiers, and matters of that sort, more difficulties were encountered than they had anticipated ; he hoped, however, that those difficulties would very shortly bo surmounted. (Hear.) _ _ COLLEGE OF SANDHURST. Sir F. BARING asked the Under Secretary for War what were the intentions of Government respecting the re commendations of the Sandhurst commission ?. Mr. PEEL—The only recommendations in the report of the committee on the military college at Sandhurst, upon which any immediate step required to be taken, was that which proposed that ten sons of officers who had lost their lives in the course of the present war should be appointed to the college, there to receive their education at the public ex pense ; that ten more should be appointed in the course of next year ; and that the estimates for the college for the ensuing financial year should make provision to cover the expense which such an addition would involve. To that recommendation he saw no objection whatever, and the Government would be prepared, therefore, to act upon it accordingly. The report also recommended that the board of commissioners should undergo some alterations, chiefly with the view of enabling a revision to take place of the course of studios in the junior and senior departments, and that in the senior department a staff of professors should be appointed, also to be maintained at the expense of the public. These were suggestions which he thought w ere very proper to be considered, but it appeared to himw.th ht they rather formed part of the larger question, "lc would shortly come before Parliament, and ques tion of education for the army, both in its higher lower branches. (Hear, hear.) othe already ten orphans in Colonel NORTH said there were namely, the and two of officers in the navy.

We think (continued the noble lord) that privileged corps already bears as large a proportion to the rest of the army as is expedient, and that it would be uuadvisable to increase the establishment of that body, but every endeavour will be made to induce the Irish con stabulary to enlist into the existing regiments of Guards, which shall be considered, whatever thir origin may have been, of belongieg to the United Kingdom, and not pecu liarly to England and Scotland or Ireland. They, in truth, consist of men who enlist indiscriminately from all parts of the United Kingdom, and as such I trust that every part of the kingdom will think that it has some share in the glories which may attend the services of that distin guished corps. (Hear, hear.) Colonel DUNNE said that Irishmen had been refused to be enlisted in the Guards until the war commenced. (Hear ) Mr. V. SCULLY, finding that he must treat the answer of the noble lord as a civil refusal, begged to give notice that he should take the earliest opportunity of bringing the matter before the house and having it fully discussed. WIDOWS OF NAVAL OFFICERS. Sir G. TYLER asked the First Lord of the Admiralty what steps the Admiralty had taken to extend to the widows of officers of the Royal Navy the boon which her Majesty had lately conferred upon the widows of officers of the army, by extending the pension warrant, so as to create a special scale of pensions for the widows o lofficers who might die from illness contracted in the fieln also. whether it was true that the widow of the late Admiral Boxer had only been granted the ordinary pension for an admiral's widow, viz., 1201. a year ?
