40NEY MARKET AND Cu.al _ll ER ,'7l A LILYTI:tLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLo/ix. The Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday closed tamely, with a downward tendency in pr i c es. The s a l es were estimated at 4,000 bales. Uplands at 60., Mobile at 6 7-16 d., and Orleans 6 9-16 d. The sales of the week amounted to 24,410 bales. The Railway Share Market was depressed, and at the close prices fell 1 per cent. Referring to the demand for tallow, Messrs. smith and Charles, after announcing that this day ( i_fld every Saturday henceforth the market will ‘;-ose at two o'clock, remark The tallow market has been steady throughout the week , nth 'till an up w ard tendency. The demand for the Continent is nth large, and there can be no doubt that the home - me l t is in France and Belgium is very indifferent ;so that t here ,Zer3 , reason to believe that the demand for this qu arter 1 "41: continue. The home produce in this country is also be ;the av era ge, and is likely to be shut during the next few nths, and Loudon is the only port well supplied with f oreign tallow." e The p os ition of the Bank of England is still in !easing in strength, w ith o ut any proportionate Vening for the employment of its means, and how much further this is to go must be a subject for altercating inquiry. The bullion and the reserve cf notes together make up a sum very little short of thirty millions sterling, the increase in the past week being no less than 505,0001. Such return as 'this has not been before the public f or many a day, and it may be indeed pro nounced an extraordinary one under exist 'g • circumstances and with war in full c areer. There is but one danger in such a state things, viz., that money may be made so ; ch eap as to promote operations in con nection with 'reign countries to draw away part of our sur p lus, e specially in connection with the Fren ch loan. It It a Y be mentioned, h owev er, as some relief to ap - P r ehension on this point, that capital is a lmost as a bundant on the continent as here, owing mainly fr, the stagnation of all commercial sp eculation. j` - ,'e other items in the weekly statement to the ,th inst. offer no particular change compared with ' t he previous return. The following is an analysis : Active circulation £19,536,195 Increase 85,025 Bullion .. 18,060,716 Increase 296,658 Rest Increase 8,132 Public Deposits 5,586,754 Increase 139,547 Other D e p os it s t , Increase s even-Day and other Bills Decrease 1,922 Goverment Securities 12,681,0 68 21,380 Decrease 339,704 Other Se cur iti es l2, , Increase otes unemployed 11,814,200 Increase 208,605 Yesterday afternoon the foreign exchanges were ratherth e feeble, and it is rather an tici p ated that the new French loan will, by a ntici p ation, affect A 25 - rate upon Paris. Paris , 90 da y s, was at ht t' 2 i- to 35, H am burgh at 13 61 to 6 /, Am sterdam i 0 1 9 to 191, and Frankfort at 1181 to 1181.

The anxiety for later news ta `fn the se a t o f war is most intense , a nd exagge rated reports are flying about in every direction. to this moment there is no confirmation of one tour, that the Malakhoff Tower has been taken once the first repulse, and it is not doubted that if such were the cars the Government would be too e °l Qto make it known forthwith. The Stock Ex %an, ge members have been more immediately oc ofPled among themselves in discussing a breach h i t,_rust hy one of their members, a partner in a ha ving respectable firm.

The spe 4eulating public appear to have been anxiously awaiting xi " dreading disastrous news from the Crimea, and have ( : t C ared to enter into transactions of any moment until • th e 4.. various rumours afloat were cleared up by official a ti : ll igence. In mining there has been a moderate ,' .lo ent of buying and selling, without any exciting cir- APnetances one way or the other. In a mine called th ere Header (a new name for old Copper Bottom), er.e has been much speculating going on, the shares Zug risen suddenly from 2/. to 4/. 10s., 5/., and then, att en few shares were brought on the market, they as iN dden ly declined to 2/. 10s., 3/.

THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case, Sir F. Thesiger (with whom was Mr. Lush) appeared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Bramwell, Q.C., and Mr. Dawkins, for the defendants. The action was brought by the plaintiff to recover compensation in damages from the defendants for injuries sustained by him by reason of the negligence of the de fendants' servants. It appeared from the evidence that on the 3tb August, 1853, the plaintiff, together with a friend named Ker shaw, were travelling by express train from King's•cross to Bigglesby, on the Great Northern Railway, when, in their approach to Hurnsey, the train came into violent collision with some coal trucks which were lying across the line, whereby the plaintiff and a number of other passengers sustained severe injuries. In the case of the plaintiff it was stated, on the authority of three medical gentlemen, that a blow which he received on his head had produced concussion of the brain, and consequent paralysis, and had, moreover, com pletely undermined his constitution and previously good health, inasmuch that he had never s:nce been able to attend properly to his bushiess. The line of cross-examination pursued by Mr. Bram well appeared to be directed to proving that suppressed or transferred gout, and not the injury, had brought about the effects from which the plaintiff bad been suf. feling. At the close of the plaintiff's case, the learned counsel proceeded to address the jury for the defence. He ad mitted on behalf of the defendants that the negligence of one of their servants had resulted in the accident in question, and said he should confine himself to the con sideration whether the plaintiff had really suffered, as he stated, from the effects of the injury he sustained, or from some other cause, and, consequently, whether or not the jury would be warranted in awarding damages. The arguments of the learned counsel were proceeding when our report was despatched. Barons Alderson, Parke, and Alartiu sat in Banco in the Exchequer Chamber ; but during the morning no case of any general interest transpired. Bil this day. RIOT AT TEE OLYMPIC THEATRE. Last evening the benefit of Mr. Wigan, the lessee of this theatre, took place according to announce ment. At an early hour the pit entrance was besieged by a highly-respectable body of indivi duals, including a great many ladies, who waited with exemplary patience and good humour until the doors were opened. In a minute or two the pit was quite full, and then it was observed with much indigna tion that no fewer than eight additional seats in this small theatre had been taken in for stalls, only half•a dozen being left ! The universal feeling of disapproba tion soon found energetic expression. Up started an indignant Paterfamilias, and in a loud and decided tone, demanded " Where's the pit ?" The inquiry was instantly taken up by the entire number, and loud inquiries were made for Mr. Wigan to come forward and explain the reason of this imposition. Two policemen were present, but both they and the officials were evidently abashed at the demonstration. The up roar continued, and no Mr. Wigan condescending to appear a general cry of "Jump over" arose, and in a few moments a determined move forward was made by some fifty or more ladies and gentlemen, who stepped over the new line of demarcation and quietly took their places in the seats abstracted from the pit. This act of determination brought Mr. Wigan out at last, who was received with a perfect hurricane of dis approbation that lasted for some minutes. On gaining a hearing, he expressed regret at having given offence to any portion of his audience, and without affecting ignorance of the cause, said that those who had wrong fully taken possession of the stalls must give them up— he had Bow-street to back him, and if they did not they would be turned out. Loud and indig nant cries followed this announcement. A gentle man in one of the stalls, who had stepped from the pit, stood up, and, addressing Mr. Wigan, observed that he had purchased .30s. worth of tickets for distribution among his friends, out of respect to Mr. Wigan, for this his benefit, and he felt deeply aggrieved to find, on entering, so palpable a breach of faith on that gentle man's part; he (the speaker) never having the slightest intimation of so monstrous a curtailment being in tended. To this Mr. Wigan replied, that the same _ thing had been done at other theatres—(l(•ud and numerous cries of "Never to anything like such an exteut")—and due notice had been given of the curtailment. Cries of " I know nothing of it," and " No body had any conception of its being carried out to this disgraceful extent," here arose, and the disapproba tion was continued until Mr. igan said he bad got into a dilemma, and he must leave the matter to be settled by the good feeling of the audience. The seats, however, that had been taken by assault were now retained by the possessors. The comedy of The School for Scandal was then commenced, and seve ral pertinent sentimentalities uttered by Mr. Wigan as Joseph Surface gave the pitites an opportunity of ex pressing the just indignation they experienced at this unscrupulous invasion of the rights of the pit-frequenting. portion of the public. We believe a notice of an in tended curtailment had been issued, but not to the extent stated. MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) COVENT GARDEN.

The racing in Hampshire was brought to a satisfac tory conclusion yesterday at-Winchester. It commenced on Wednesday with the somewhat slow proceedings of the Bibury Club, Captain Little and Mr. J. M. Stanley sharing the good things between them. This Club has scarcely attained the popularity to which it is entitled, the desire which is evinced to render it exclusive and select limiting the number of riding members. The Stockbridge meeting was, however, surpassingly suc cessful, and so interesting a day's sport was per haps never celebrated. Indeed so long were the proceedings that it required no little exertion on the part of the officials to get through them in reasonable time. A suggestion has been made to extend the meeting to two days ; a suggestion which I trust will not be carried into effect. The managers will act judiciously by letting well alone, and be con tented with one day's good racing, instead of incurring the risk of obtaining two days' meagre sport. The suc cess of Oulston for the Stewards' Plate tended to strengthen the opinion which is now generally enter tained that his owner committ©d a most egregious blun der in scratching him for the Derby. "Honest John," with all his blushing honours thick upon him, regarded the horse's achievement with a grim satisfaction ; albeit he could have been little flattered by the remarks which were freely exchanged on all sides. William Goater has commenced his career of trainer to Mr. Howard most auspiciously, and, for a time at least, good fortune seems likely to attend him. "Old John " has taken up his quarters with his son William, whom he will assist in giving the finishing preparation to Lord of the Isles for the St. Leger. Corcebus won the Sixth Triennial Stakes so easily that people began to entertain suspicions of the correctness of his running since the Metropolitan Stakes. In him Mr. J. Dawson has made a fortunate investment, for Corcebus has certain engagements which he cannot, if he remain, well lose. Lord Eglinton, by the way, has disposed of his entiree stud to Mr. J. M. Stanley, and has become weary of the turf. He has, however, little to re gret since his connection with it, but the triumphs of Blue Bonnet the Flying Dutchman and the successes of Elthiron, Van Tromp, Eryx, &c., evidently rendered him impatient of the defeats of Mayors, Vanderdecken, and Dirk Hatteraick. Mincepie was "hot enough" for the Mottisfont Stakes, and the eagerness with which odds were laid showed that her owner had already had a taste of her quality in private. Although the weather was fine and the attendance large, yet the Winchester Meeting was not so successful as good management might make it. "Administrative reform" is, however, about to be adopted there, and a promise of amendment is afforded. Yorksbiremen had their game to themselves at Be verley, where they found ample employment. The Cup produced an exciting incident. A Ur. B. peppered D. 0. most unceasingly, and at last a call was made upon him to stake. This demand was complied with in certain instances. The owner of D. 0., however, wished him to cover a bet of 3,0001. to 3001., a somewhat un reasonable request, by the way, to be made on a race course. Mr. B. refused, and the bet was scratched. Braxey won by a neck, and D. 0. knocked down a police man opposite the stand and destroyed his chance. Mr. 8., who, I believe, backed the winner, landed a good stake. Some important changes have been made in the betting on the Northumberland Plate. Bolton seems to have entirely superseded Rotherham, who, it is said, has broken down. Rotherham is a good horse, but very difficult to train, and this report may not be without foundation. Vindex is steady, and Rylstone still num bers many staunch partisans. John Osborne, I fancy, will yet have a favourite—whether Aribbas or The Spin ner lam not at present in a position to determine. On Monday I will publish my " Notes on Newcastle." June 23.

The weather was fine, and the course was numerously and respectably attended. In short, the three days sport in Hampshire never terminated more pleasantly. The stewards for next year are 0-. Payne, Esq., and W. T. Grwme, Esq. ; and we are glad to announce that already good progress has been made in obtaining sub scriptions to the Hampshire Stakes. Mr. Montgomery Dilly, the highly-respected Clerk of the Course, now retires from office, and Mr. Peake, the Secretary to the Race Committee has been requested to succeed him. It is to be hoped that his zealous exertions will at length rouse the Wintonians into the exercise of a more liberal spirit i n th e support of aTmeet i ng which annually causes a considerable sum of money to be spent amongst them by the racing public. BETTING AT MANCHESTER.—FRIDAY. The . investments m a d e t o -d ay were b a rely sufficient to give a tone to the betting. A very small outlay pro moted Vindex to premiership for the Northumberland Plate ; Bolton, however, lost very little ground, whilst Rotherham, against whom 50 to 1 was laid yesterday, advanced to 100 to 6, offers to take. We noticed com mission getting quietly on Canute at 100 to 7. The Spinner, Rylston, and Courtenay, all had a " fishy" ap pearance. Oulston's performance for the Stewards' Plate at Stockbridge has altogether upset the idea of betting upon either the Goodwood Cup or the Doncaster St. Leger, 6 to 4 being the highest offer against him for the first event, but for the second we did not hear an offer made.

STATE OF TRADE. ( Ppo;n the Manchester Guardian of this day.) MANCHESTER, June 22.--Our market continues to decline and to exhibit much irregularity. There are indications, however, which excite a hope that we are approaching the bottom of the descent, where a resump tion of business may take place. The abatement of price which spinners and manufacturers have voluntarily of fered to submit to is now so considerable that buyers begin to feel themselves pretty nearly within reach of sellers, and they are consequently enabled to propose terms to the latter. BRADFORD, June 21.—Wool: The bare supply of combing wools in this mark e t i s not yet altered, new wools having come in but slowly, a n d prices are the same as last week. Yarns—Th e spinners being gene rally working to order, there i s no di sposition to enter' into new engagements until prices rule more in accord ance with the cost of production. Pieces—There is a fair amount of business doing, and the deliveries are to orders taken some time ago, and as these run o u t th ey cannot be placed, except at higher prices. NOTTINGHASr, June 21.—There is nothing new to note in the condition of business in either the lace or hosiery trades of this town since our last. LEICESTER, June 21.—The prices of yarns during the last month have been very unsettled, owing to the con tinued advance of wools, a rise during that period of three-halfpence per lb may be quoted, but the advance on the respective sorts has been put on or otherwise, ac cording to the connection of the spinner. ►WOOLLEN TRADE. (Front the limds Mercury of this day.) LEEDS, June 22.—We have no change to report in the state of the woollen trade. There has been a good business done in the cloth-halls this week. The market in the coloured-hall was rather flat on Tuesday, and the transactions were rather limited in number as well as in bulk ; but in the white cloth market there was a lively tone prevalent and an average Tuesday's business was done. The stock of cloth in the markets is considerably on the decrease. There is a fair seasonable trade doing in the warehouses—quiet and steady ; but as much as is usual at this period of the year : it is mainly for the home market. The shipping houses continue in a state of comparative inactivity. HUDDERSFIELD, June 19.—The market to-day has been rather quieter than that of last week, still there has been more business done in both the Cloth Hall and the warehouses than on the average of market days lately, 11 - Aurex, June 16.—Our market to-day has presented much the same features as , recorded of its last week's predecessor, wools and yarns continuing to show rather a hardening tendency, particularly light-haired combing wools, which are yet in scanty choice here. EIVIPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS—(YESTERDAY.) SECOND READINGS. The following bills were read a second time ;—Car 'earthen and Cardigan Railway ; London and South- Western Railway; and Oxford, Worcester, and Wolver hampton Railway. Lord BROUGHAM presented several petitions from Newcastle-upon-Tyne, in favour of the abolition of church rates ; also a petition, numerously signed, from the county of Denbigh, in favour of the jurisdiction of County Courts. The noble lord took the opportunity of condemning the system under which so large an amount of fees was charged in those courts. The Marquis of WESTMINSTER presented some petitions from various parts of the metropolis against trading on the Lord's Day. Earl FITZWILLIAM presented a petition in favour of administrative reform. UNION CONTIGUOUS BENEFICES IN CITIES I AND TOWNS BILL. This bill passed through committee. INFANTS MARRIAGES BILL. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR this bill was read a third time and passed. CARNEGIE'S RESTITUTION BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read ing of this bill, the object of which was to remove the attainder against the peerage of Southesk, which had existed since the year 1715. The bill was read a second time. ASSIZES AND SESSIONS BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read ing of this bill. It was for the purpose of having ses sions for the trial of offenders held more frequently than was now the case under the present system, and there by prevent the expense, inconvenience, an d sometimes great injustice of detaining such persons in prison for several months before trial. The noble and learned lord having stated the details of the measure, moved that it be read a second time. Lord:BROUGHAM highly approved of the bill. He viewed it not only as an instalment, but a very con siderable instalment, of the benefits of the resolutions he moved the other night. By the latest returns it appeared that of 28,000 persons brought to trial, 6,200, after a long period of confinement, were either acquitted or discharged for want of evidence. This was a mon strous system to those persons, and he hailed with great satisfaction the measure now proposed, which would no doubt remedy this evil in our criminal procedure. Lord CAMPBELL said, on the part of himself and his learned colleagues, they would do anything in their power to favour this measure. After a short discussion, the second reading was agreed to. The Weights and Measures Bill went through com mittee. The Edinburgh Lands Bill was read a second time. The Stamp Duties Repeal on Matriculation and De grees (Oxford) Bill passed through committee. The Charitable Trusts Bill was reported, with amend ments. The Grants of Lands Bill went through committee. The Public Libraries and Museums (Ireland) Bill went through committee. • The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked whether the Baltic fleet had been provided with the apparatus neces sary to attack maritime fortresses, in the manner recom mended last year to the Admiralty and the Board of Ordnance by Colonel Bethune ? An engine of great power of destruction had been strongly recommended to the notice of the Admiralty and Ordnance ; but those authorities were of opinion that the use of the engine against forts in the Baltic would be too hazardous—an opinion, coming from such a quarter, that was worthy of respect. Now he thought it would be advisable to have this engine in readiness to be used if an opportunity oc curred—especiaily as men of military experience had spoken highly in favour of its adoption. Lcrd PANMURE said the invention was one of those innumerable suggestions offered to Government on the breaking out of the war as the best means of destroying the enemy and ending the war. The engine had been re ferred to Sir C. Napier, who said it might do very well, but it required some gentleman to "bell the cat." (Laughter.) The Ordnance was appealed to, and they gave it as their opinion that it would not be effectual, and could not be applied as stated to the purposes of war. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said the noble mar quis's suggestion was one of great importance. The noble lord (Panmure) said numfrous inventions had been offered to the notice of Government, but none had been accepted. It would be a fatal mistake for Government to assume that nothing that could be invented would be of advantage to us in the war. It was customary for difficulties to attend first inventions, but time and ex perience usually overcame them. His suggestion was that there should be a committos to whom all these in ventions should be referred, Mho should examine fairly and report thereon. Lord PANMURE said nothing had fallen from him to warrant the noble earl saying that Government ne glected to c on sid er th ese i nvent i ons. S evera l inven tions had been tested and adopted, and others refused as of no value. The practice was to refer all such inven tions to scientific authorities at Woolwich, who investi gated them, and a d o pt e d any po r tion that might be of use. After a few words in reply from the Marquis of CLA.NRICIRDE th e c onversation dropped, And their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS-(YESTERDAY.) VOTE OF CENSURE ON THE GOVERN- MENT. Mr. ROEBUCK gava notice that on the 3d July he would move a resolution—" That this house, deeply la menting the sufferings of our army in the Crimea during the winter campaign last year, and considering, in ac• cordance with the committee, that the conduct of every member of the Government engaged in the management of the war was the first and chief cause of those suffer ings, this house does hereby censuro the conduct of every member of the Cabinet." (Loud cries of " hear.") VENTILATION OF THE HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. Lord ROBERT CECIL ,wished to ask the Chief Commissioner of Works whether any precautions were taken to ventilate the house, by the opening of doors and windows, during the intervals of its session : whether it was true that Mr. G. Gurney, to whom the ventilation of the house was committed last year, was habitually absent from the house, and left the care of its ventilation entirely to the subordinates who mismanaged it last year ; and, whether the Government would object to placing the ventilation, like the kitchen and the library, under the care of a committee to be nominated every session ? Sir. W. MOLESWORTH replied, that with respect to the first question, he was informed the doors and windows of both houses were kept open during the time the houses were not sitting, weather permitting ; that the ventilation arrangements were kept in action at all times, day and night, and men were constantly on the spot to say whether the ventilating apparatus worked M properly. As regard e d th e second ques tion, r. Gurney, so far from being habitually absent from the house, was present every night till at least 10 o'clock, and received reports of the working of the apparatus every half hour, and that he resided close to the house. With regard to the third question, h e did not think it would improve the ventilation of the house —which he believed to be extremely good—under the care of a committee. (Hear.) PRACTICAL JOKING IN THE ARMY. Mr. STANLEY asked the Secretary for War if the Commanderin-Chief bad ordered a further inquiry into the conduct of the superior officer and others concerned in the late practical jokes and sham duel between officers of the cavalry depot at Canterbury, and if that inquiry would be trade by taking evidence on oath, or only by voluntary evidence, as in the former inquiry ; also if there was any objection to produce a copy of a letter, written to the Under Secretary for War by Mr. Stanley on the J6th or 19th day of May, i n f orm i ng hi m t h at t h e evidence of Captain FitzWygrarn was. important, and expressing a hope that no officer concerned would be or dered abroad, as he was informed was the case, with the reply I\tr. PEEL said, thero being nothing to implicate the superior officers in the transactions referred to, no ulterior proceedings were contemplated. • Mr. STANLEY gave notice that he would bring for ward the question again, on the motion for the house going into committee. (Hear, hear.) . _ _ _ . _ THE HANGO MASSACRE. Colonel HARCOURT asked whether the Admiralty had received any official intelligence that Lieutenant D r . FA.ston, and Mr. Sullivan, of he r M ajes t y ' s were still alive, and prisoners Russia ? sA(imi the Admiralty on this subject than wha. Admiral BERKELEY said no further information hadhi ship Geneste, reached Cossack, was contained in the despatches of Admiral Dundas already published. Colonel HARCOURT said he must beg permission of the h ouse t o rea d a letter from the nearest relative of Lieutenant G en este on this transaction. The hon. and gallant mem b er t h en rea d the letter, which requested him to as k th e Governmen t w h e ther the authorities in the fleet had demanded the bodies of those who were so cruelly massacred at Iran o, in order that they might not be left to the brutality of their savage murderers ? Admiral BERKELEY repeated his former answer. He believed, howeve r , no such claim had been made. He should t a k e that Aportunity to remark that he was one of those who had been a long time in office. Ho could bear the attacks that public men were open to ; but he could not pass over in silence a statement in the Daily News the day before yesterday, which in the most cruel and cold-blooded manner pointed to himself as almost the cause of that deplorable affair, and the statement went to say that the w r it er hoped when the friends and relations of the deceased met the gallant admiral they would treat him according to his merits. (Hear, hear.) ROMAN CATHOLIC CHAPLAINS IN PRISONS. Mr. KINNAIRD rose to ask the Secretary for-the Home Department whether he had any objection, to produce the recent correspondence respecting the arrange ments for the religious instruction given by the Roman Catholic chaplains in the prisons of Pentonville and Brixton I Sir G. GREY said be had no objection to produce the correspondence in question. In reply to Mr. SPOONER, Sir G. GREY stated he was not aware of any chap lains to those prisons being paid except the chaplains belonging to the Established Church.;;* THE STATE OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Mr. DISRAELI asked the noble lord at the head of the Government whether he had any objection, on Mon day next, to state to the house the course he intended to pursue with regard to the public business ? He found at the present moment there were no less than 79 orders of the day upon the paper ; and be thought, therefore, it would be very convenient to the house if the noble lord could on Monday at least shadow forth the course he intended to pursue at this advanced period of the session. (A. laugh.) Lord PALMERSTON replied that he could almost answer the question now. There were many measures which he should think it his duty to press to a conclu sion ; but there were others which he did not care any thing about. (Laughter.) Arr. HADFIELI) said he had given notice of his intention to call the attention of the Government to the state of public business, but the right bon. gentleman op posite had anticipated him. It was most important under the circumstances to ascertain what course the Govern ment intended to pursue. He wished, therefore, to ask the noble lord at the head of the Government whether he would take into consideration such business as there was not the slightest chance of disposing of this session, and thereby reduce the orders to some reasonable dimen sion, as the session was so near its ordinary period of termination ? MR. LAYARD AND COLONEL DACRES. On the motion that the house at its rising adjourn until Monday, Sir DE LACY EVANS said he rose for the purpose of making some explanations relative to a few remarks which had fallen from the hon. member for Aylesbury, in the course of the debate last week, and which expressions bad reference to a gallant officer of the artillery, now in the Crimea. The hon. member had doubtless no intention of reflecting in any way upon that officer, but what he had said had led to an inference of that kind. (Hear, hear.) He (Sir De Lacy Evans) might therefore take the oppor tunity of saying that when in the East he had felt it to be his duty to report that gallant oficer to the Commander-in-Chief for his distinguished services in three successive actions, and also after hs return home to England he had laid before the Commander-in- Chief his opinion of those officers who had particularly distinguished themselves under his particular observa• tion, and with regard to Colonel Dacres, he had stated that in his opinion that officer was the most able, ener getic, and popular officer in that arm of the British Forces, (Hear, hear.) Mr. LA2YAIiD took the opportunity of removing any • impression of the kind alluded to which his words might have created, and also offered a few words of explanation as to what he had stated, and the authority upon which his anecdote was based. NATIONAL EDUCATION. Sir J. PAKINGTON said his Education Bill was, one of the adjourned orders which had already been referred to ; and to-night bad been fixed for its further discussion. But he was anticipated by a notice of motion for a debate on the motion before the house ; and he could not refrain from saying that this practice, which had become so frequent of late, was a great abuse of the forms of the house, and one cause of the great delay in public business which had. just been complained of ; and he could not help hoping that the house would revert to a sounder prac tice. He wished to ask no favour of the noble lord at the head of the Government. As an opponent he had no right to do so, and he begged to state therefore that the question he was about to put to the noble lord was based upon public considerations alone. It was not conducive to the proper estate of the public that bills of this nature should be left in the con dition in which they at present stood. Any person who asserted that the present state of education was satisfac tory must be prepared to maintain that a large body of official men, clergymen, and others were leagued together in a conspiracy to mislead the country on this question. (Hear, hear.) Sir John then referred to the three bills introduced on the question, and submitted it was necessary, if Government really was in earnest on this question, to allow some progress to be made with these bills, and the decision of Parliament ascertained, that might result in one bill being compiled from them for introduction in the next session of Parliament. Mr. HADFIELD thought the speech of the right hon. baronet might be considered the funeral sermon of his bill. He considered the subject of educating the people of England was too vast a question for him to undertake to settle, and was of opinion that he had done great mischief to the cause of education by the intro duction of his bill. He charged the right honourable baronet with having misled the house with regard s to the state of education in this country, and con tended that placing the education of the people under the inspection of Government ought not to be permitted. Lord J. RUSSELL said the right hon. baronet oppo site was not in fault, nor did he think the Government or the house were in fault, that the right hon. baronet's bill had net been pressed forward, and a decision come to on it, because there had been topics of overwhelming interest brought before them. What ever the right hon. baronet might think of the motion of the hon. member for Aylesbury, there could be no question but it was one of very great interest to the country. (Hear.) The right hon. baronet only asked that his bill, and the other two bills now before the house should pass their second reading" in order that they might be sent before a select committee. That ' being the course he (Lord J. Russell) did not think the right hon. baronet could expect the Government to appoint an early day for the consideration of his bill, there being so many measures of pressing importance requiring the attention of the house in order that they might be sent in time to the upper house. At the same time, he thought there might be a day found before the atten dance of hon, members was likely to be rather thin when this question might be further discussed. (Hear, hear.) He thought it was important to hon. mem bers who were in favour of the voluntary principle, who had not yet taken part in this debate, that an op. portunity should he given them to state their sentiments and feelings on this question ; because they were, in fact, the most powerful opponents not only to the right hon. baronet's bill, but others on this question. (Hear.) The voluntary efforts of individuals had gained a great deal, but they were not sufficient for the effectual edu cation of the people. He was likewise of ra iprciehiami for ee t d h thu a e t :. the measures adopted by th e B oard of the Committee of ca tPiorni7buCtotuhnecyil werefor Educationunablet done completely ignorance that s pervaded a uthe sehe largearigt hon, (Lord j portion hRa ur o st f s. e bl t la h ) d e we people. r(Hateeadri)hisHcae thoughte be from thinkin g th at t h e voluntary effo.rts of individuals, combined with the grants of money by that house for r- a u c c t a e the purposes o f e d ucation, had produced no great impression on th e i gnorance that formerly preva i le d .
