In the Say Share Market the prices of all the leading 11°C advanced. mar ket from Brussels state that the grain The average closed :with a decline in wheat and rye. average price for wheat was 35f. per hectolitre 4(1 22f. for rye. The market was indifferently 11 PPlied, and sales were limited. +hl l , 4 dvices have been received at Hamburg from 1 0 to the 14th May, stating that the coffee crop season will be delayed on account of the eat her ; in consequence of which the demand k tiße r this article in the market is very active, and a in price is shortly expected. - The sales of the w ended 14th inst. comprises 15,000 bales brazils at 4 to 5i schillings ; 3,000 ditto Saint tl,ingo from 5 to 5i schillings, and 4,000 bales i:flayra at 5i to 6i schillings.

Her ad vices report a t4Pant market for speculative securities, although L t he day previously to the departure of the t iler there was rather less firmness. The pros. 8 t of the Money Market were considered very oltraging, especially as the growing crops of e4 t promised an abundant yield. The cora -I.cial reports scarcely make any allusion to the American and foreign enlistment questions, i o ell 18 4 pretty sure sign that the local merchants lhe lot tink very seriouly about either. arrivals of the precious metals which have i k announced represent a large aggregate sum, "further amounts from Mexico, New York, and q t alia will no doubt soon be received. The 11'i R ay brings about 200,0001., the Morning Star 7 81 ., and the Baltic 32,4001., making a total t 0 : 4 )448/. Upon the general state of the k b ," market the effect of this influx of specie qlnt fail t o p rove sa ti s f ac tory, and the stock of ‘ 4 Oll in the Bank vaults will be materially aug )kttte,d. The continental exchanges remain fa nle, and there is, therefore, no fear at present tp dr ain of specie on foreign account. With such an th tir aging aspect of affairs a further improvement t te ,, e Money market is predicted, and it is consi - V 4 Probable that au early reduction in the offi 4tins of discount will soon take place. e :ording to a telegraph account just received 14 tL eclway brings 44,687 ounces and 60,0001., and amount above given.

TIDE IOYAL FREE HOSPITAL. It is now about 30 years since, finding a girl in the streets in the last stage of destitution and disease, and discovering that there was no hospital open fcr her recep tion without a ticket of recommendation from a governor, which could not be obtained until the following morning, Dr. Marsden determined to endeavour to found an hoe- pital, for admission to which no other I.g - commendation should be required than that of labouring under disease, and needing assistance. The idea was in the first in stance carried out by the opening of a dispensary in Greville street, Hatton-garden, which ere long expanded into the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-lane. It is no wonder that the claims upon such a charity should be unusually large, and accordingly we find that whereas at the commencement of the institution the number of pa tients only amounted to a few hundreds, they had last year increased to nearly 40,000. At the death of his Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, Grand Master of Freema sons, a subscription was entered into to erect a memorial to his memory. This subscription amounted to about 1,6001., and after some deliberation it was determined to present it to the Royal Free Hospital towards the erec tion of a Sussex wing, on their obtaining a sufficient further sum to carry out such a design. A sufficient amount was considered to have been reached last yearto justify the committee in proceeding with the work, and accordingly in July last the foundation-stone was laid, with masonic honours, Br. Dobie G. Reg. officiating for the Grand Master, who was prevented from being present at the ceremony by the illness of the countess. The work was entrusted to Mr. C. In❑es, and has been most ad mirably carried out, the new portion of the building being catculated to afford accommodation for 135 beds, 54 of which, however, were displaced by the alterations in the new building, necessary for the new wing, so that the real number of additional beds is about 80—making the total number of beds in the hospital about 200 in all. The hospital is still upwards of 2 0001. in debt, and whilst the regular income from subscriptions i• only about 1,5001. a-year, the expenditure exceeds 3,7001.-- leaving the remainder to be supplied by donations and legacies, which la•t year were of sufficient amount to li quidate ❑early 2,5001. of debt. 1181 Ir4tw, 'qotn. The opening of the new wing took place yesterday, the ceremony being performed by the Right Hon. Lord Leigh, R. W., Prov. G.M. for Warwickshire, supported by the committee and a large number of the brethren of the mystic tie ; though, strange to say, the ceremony in no way partook of a masonic character, and not an arnb!en2 of any description was exhibited. The ceremony was as simple as possible. Lord Leigh and the committee having seen patients placed in the beds, a procession was formed, and L o rd L e i g h an d a number of the com mittee took up their position on a temporary platform ; when the obj,cts of the charity and the circumstance, under which the wing was erected 114% ing been explained, a statue of his Royal Highness, by l!.1 r. H. L. Thomas, was revealed to public view amidst loud cheers. Under neath the memorial is the following inscription:— " Blessed is the man that provideth for the needy. The Lord shall deliver him in time of trouble."—Psalm xli. "As a memorial in strict conformity with the tenor of the life of his late Royal Highness Prince Augustus Fre- ' derick Duke of Sue.ex, and, therefore, most fitting to perpetuate the memory of his many virtues, this wing to the Royal Hospital was erected in the lAth year of the reign of her Majesty Queen Victoria." The playing of the National Anthem by a band which bad been in attendance throughout the morning closed the proceedings. In the evening the friends of the charity dined toge. ther in Freemasons' Hall, under the presidency of the Right Hon. Lord Leigh, who was supported by the Earl Of Zetland, Lord Denman, the Rev. Dr. Bowles, grand master for Herefordshire; the Rev. Dr. Owen, Dr. Mar.den (founder of the hospital), Mr. Prichard, high bailiff of Southwark ; Alderman Spiers, of Oxford ; Dr. Kent, grand master for New South Wales ; Drs. Brin ton, Hassell, O'Connor, Glover ; Messrs. De Merie, C. R. Britman, A. Marsden, B. Brown, G. B. Graham G. Warre, Watson, W. C oo k e , W. C oo k, C. W a l m i s l ey , Head, T. Wakley, jun. ; Mr. Fenn, secretary, and about 300 gentlemen, the large msjority of whom were Free masons. In proposing the toast of the evening, the noble lord descanted on the great advantages derivable from the in stitution, and the purely free principles on which patients were admitted ; the only recommendation required being that of being in want of assistance—rendering the canvassing for letters of recommendation, which too many poor persons were unable to obtain, altogether unnecessary. No institution upon that principle was in existence prior to the Royal Free Hospital. It was true that others were now partially adopting the system, but whilst with those establishments it was the exception, with the Royal Free Hospital it was the rule. (Cheers.) As a proof of how the principle was appreciated, be might mention that in the first year of the opening of the hospital only 926 patients were relieved, while last year the number had increased to 39,891—the total of die. tressed persons relieved since the formation of the hos pital being upwards of 500,000. The hospital was always ready admit persons suffering from epidemic, and when cholera first made its appearance in this county in 1852, the hospital threw open its d iors for the reception of suf ferers by it, whilst all others kept theirs closed against such patients. Upwards of 700 persons labouring under that disease were then admitted, and during sub- °Tient visitations more than 9 000 were relieved. There could be no doubt the public derived great advantage frnn this hospital, by the check which bad been given by the insti tution 5o the spread of infectious and contagious diseases, from the facility of admission given to persons afflicted therewith. It was also worthy of remark than the benefits of the institution were not confined to the metropolis, but hundreds of poor persons from all parts of the coun try, as well as foreigners of every creed and nature, had been recipients of the charity ; and, not long since, amongst their patients was„the son of Nene, the New Zea land chief, who commanded the native forces on the side of the British at the war of the Bay of Islands in 1845. In addition to the other patients, large numbers of desti tute, unfortunate females were yearly admitted into the wards of t!e hospital, and not a few of whom, on being cured, were, by the exertions of the rev, chaplain and the committee, restored to their families and friends, with every prospect of I ecoming respectable members of society. These, as well as other destitute patients, were, on leaving the hospital, assisted with clothes and others sums of money. The noble lord then adverted to the inadequacy of the regular subscrip tions to meet the expenses of the charity, and, after an eloquent appeal to the company for support, concluded by proposing, " Prosperity and perpetuity to the Royal Free Hospital," which was most cordialy responded to. The next toast given was, " The Memory of his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex," whose name has become connected with the hospital from a subscription having been entered into on his demise to raise a monu ment to his memory. The Earl of ZETLAND, in proposing the toast, impress ed upon the company that the idea of raising a monu ment to the memory of the Duke of Sussex bad not ori ginated, as was in some quarters most erroneously sup posed, with the masonic body. Undoubtedly the leading members of that body had cordially co•operated in the proposal to connect the tneint,ry of the duke with an in stitutio❑ so eminently calculated to represent the bene volent feelings that bad actuated his Royal Highness throughout life—still in the main, the erection of the "Sussex wing" of the Royal Free Hospital bad ema nated from the admirers of his character from amongst the community at large. The next toast was 'I The House of Lords," which was responded to by Lord Denman. The SECRETARY then read the list of subscriptions, which amounted to 1,3351. is. 6d. Amongst the prin cipal subscribers were—Her Majesty, 1001. ; the Duke of Cambridge. 10/. ; the Chairman. 311. 10s. ; H. Par nell, Esq., 30/. ; Wm. Cotton, Esq., 201. ; Mr. C. 8., 501. ; Mrs. C. B. 501. ; Mrs. M. C. 12.501. ; Dr. Mars den, 501. ' • Earl Fortescue, 101. ; L or d Y ar b oroug h, 201. ; Dr. O'Connor, 21. 2s. ; Mrs. and Miss Dolan, 21. 2s. ; Mr. O'Connor, 11. ls. "The Health of Dr. Manion, the Founder of the In ,titution," was then proposed, and was received, as may well be supposed on such an occasion, with great en thu-iasm. _ _ _ Dr. MARSDEN returned thanks in a very eloquent and feeling speech, in which he took occasion to mention the many and various difficulties of every kind which he had to go through in working out the establishment of a free hospital, a class of institution at that time utterly un known in London. Several other toasts followed, including " The Com mittee of Management," coupled with the name of the Rev. Mr. Owen; "The Medical Gentlemen who gra tuitously attend the Hospital," and "The Stewards of the day." The musical arrangements were under the direction of Mr. Donald King, who was assisted by Madame Ella Henderson, Miss Heywood, Mr. Young, Mr. M. Smith, Mr. J. Coward, and Mr. Lawler. The selection of pieces Was in all respects admirable, aid it is only fair to say that Miss Heywood ingparticular called forth the marked applause of the audience. Mr. F. 0. Higgins acted as toastmaster. TER sum LONDON, TIITYRIDAY EvENlNtir s JUNE lc me; THE ALLIED GENERALS. PAINTED BY T. JONES BARKER. L I Everybody knows the name anii appreciates the genius of Mr. Barker, who happens to be at all acquainted with those beautiful and p )polar en gravings taken from his original paintings—works of art such as the historic pictures of "Nelson boarding the St. Josef at St. Vincent ; or, better still, the " Meeting upon the Field of Water loo (at the close of the battle) between Blucher and Wellington," or best of all the " Inci dent in the early life of Napoleon the Great," the incident of the dog howling over the dead body of its master among the slain and wounded. Paint ings these are, enough (almost we had said any I one of them) to establish an artist's reputation. I Here, to crown all, however, we have decidedly the most daring and pretentious work yet undertaken by Mr. Barker—the illustration not of a single battle, nor yet of a solitary campaign, but one commemorative in an especial manner of an entire conflict—a war in which were engaged, either as principals or auxiliaries, some of the chief powers amongst the nations of Christendom. It represents—this remarkable and comprehensive pic ture—" The Allies' Gen-rats with the Officers of their respective Staffs before Sebastopol." It corn prises altoeether, we believe, no less than eighty distinct "Portraits"—portraits of almost every one of the men of mark in any way distinguished dur ing the progress of the protracted and sanguinary struggle in Crim Tartary. And these very nume rous personages possessing, both for our own and future times, a really historic interest, are intro duced, not as a mere crowd upon the canvass, but as a picturesque assemblage of soldiers and civilians grouped together most artistically. The picture having as its back ground first of all such memor able localities as the Mamelon and the Malakhoff, and beyond those formidable acclivities the flashing waves of the Euxine and the gleam of the terrible fortifications of Sebastopol. By a courtly arrange ment of his eighty-odd historic personages, Mr. Barker has so contrived that the central point of his IMAILVASS happens to be that oc by S.B.H. the Duke of Cambridge and H.I.H. the Prince Napoleon. Grouped immediately in whose vici nity are the really prominent heroes of the Painting —the Allied Commanders-in-Chief! Silver-bearded, grey-headed Omer Pacha—afterwards removed to the command of the Turkish Army to the south of the. Caucasus. Field-Marshal Lord Raglan, the very amiable, but alas ! also the very irresolute—since then dead, and buried, and almost forgotten ! Marshal canrobert the " preux chevalier" of the war, not yet grasping the "ba ton," nor yet even magnanimously resigning the sword of his military dictatorship as never before by any general of whom we have any record what ever, was that covetted and formidable weapon so resigned—to a subordinate !It is strange, looking at this extraordinary picture, to remember how, a little later on from the date of which it may be pre sumed to be especially commemorative, some of those minor figures in the background stepped forth into the front ranks to fill the gaps left by death, or (as in the last-mentioned instance) by vo luntary self-abnegation ! There, for example, scarcely noticeable among the clustered heads of the " ruck" of generals, are the do-nothing nonentities so unaccountably chosen to be the successors of Lord Raglan as English Commanders-in-Chief— the smirking face of General Simpson, and, not far off, the crabbed, common-place one of General Cod rington. Close beside his heroic brother in arms, Caurobert, "posed" in a ludicrously natural man ner upon his war horse, is the successor of Canro bert as the French Commander-in-Chief Marshal Pelissier, with his fat figure and his stubby moustache, for all the world looking like a sort of a Keeley "en militaire !" Yonder is the handsome countenance of General Marmora, the leader of the brave " Sardines," who (according to a popular camp joke) were said to have been sent over to the Crimea for the ex press purpose of being "potted." there is Sir Richard England, looking (if one may judge from the expression of his face) as if he had just heard this or some other ridiculous witticism, or as if be were going to sneeze "at a pinch." Yonder is Sir John Campbell, and yonder, again, is Colonel Yea of the 7th Fusiliers—both killed on the 18th of June, but having, when we are supposed to see them, no presentiment of their soldier' s d eat h ! Th ere is the Earl of Lucan, as yet unrecalled—to fret his proud spirit in vain over wrongs those in authority fail to the very end of the chapter to recognise ! There —the Earl of Cardigan, as yet unrewarded for his personal share in the matchless gallantry of the Light Cavalry Charge at Bala.klava, by " the whispered word, the shrug, the hum !' the ha, those petty brands that calumny doth u , e !" There the dauntless Bosquet and the gallant Sir Colin Campbell, and dashing old Sir Geo , ge Brown, and the heroic Sir De Lacy Evans. Be sure, too, one fails not to recognise here—in no obscure corner of the picture—General Wyndham, the hero of the last fierce attack upon Sebastopol. And not far off, in his little, weather-beaten, scarlet, shell jacket, the young Ensign Massey, commonly called Redan Massey—a hero though but a stripling. Miss ightingale, moreover, is very happily introduced —aud the Captain Pen who recordel so eloquently the deeds of Captain Sword, W. R. Russell, " The Times correspondent," he, too, as a matter of course, has been honourably remembered in the composi tion ! Commander Maxse also is there, Maxse who (all the world knows) took the despatches— until somebody found out that he didn't ! And Sir Harry Jones, who wore the red nightcap in the trenches, and was carried there on his litter ! And Lord Burghersh, who brought home the news of the victory of the Alma—and got promoted I And Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, who did nothing particular I And Lord George Paget, who accomplished about as much—and came home again ! Here they all are, the Heroes of the War, preserved for after times in glowing colours (for the wonder or admiration of posterity, as the case may be) by the vivid brush of Mr. Barker, one of the most accomplished of all our living historical painters. The extraordinary picture under notice, certainly all things con sidered the most remarkable work of art Mr. Barker has yet produced the property we believe at present jointly of Mr. J. Garle Browne, of Leicester, and of the Messrs. Thomas Agnew and Sous, of Manchester—ought ulti mately, we cannot but think, to belong to the nation, and not to any individual. Essen tially a national work—it would be a magnifi cent collective contribution towards the Por trait Gallery of British Worthies recently pro jected in Ministerial quarters, a scheme already agitated within the walls of Parliament. Meanwhile, it is satisfactory, at least, for the pub. lic at large to know that Mr. Barker's great paint ing of " The Allied Generals, &c., before Sebasto pol" is about to be engraved by Mr. Charles G. Lewis, the engraver of so many of Sir Edwin Land seer's masterpieces, and of Mr. Barker's earlier and noble picture of the Incident in the life of the First Napoleon. 26j 27 4 6j 8i - 9 17 - 18 15 - 16 12 - 13 89 - 91 62} 63 16 16 , 9 - 11 •N '...

The Quarterly Court of Proprietors was held yester day at the establishment in Leadenhall-street. Lieut.- Colonel Sykes took the chair. Tile minutes of the last meeting were read and con firmed. The committee of the bye-laws for the year ensuing was then elected. A letter was read from the Right Hon. Lord Dal housie, in which his lordship returned thanks for the late munificent grant of 5,0001 a year on the part of the pro prietors, in return for his lordship's services in India. Mr. LEWIN then brought forward his motion for the distribution of Thornton'a Gazetteer of India amongst the proprietory body, at the expense of the company. The CHAIRMAN would not agree to that, but said the board would agree to aid in the wide extension of the work, by making it as cheap as possible. (Hear.) Mr. JONES brought forward his motion, for allowing the divisional pay to Sir John M'Caskill, for his services in Affghanietan under Sir G. Pollock, to be paid to his widow. Mr. VANSITTART seconded the motion. The CHAIRMAN said the subject bad been discussed before, and he should, therefore, meet the resolution by a direct negative. (Hear.) The motion was then withdrawn. Mr. JONES signified he was willing to modify his re solution, if agreed to. The CHAIRMAN did not wish it modified, and declared the meeting to be in favour of things as they were. Mr. JONEGI could not, however, refrain, and called for a ballot, which was acceded to, and the meeting ad ! journed. THE ARMY. War Department, Whitehall, June 18, 1856. Colonel Kinloch presents his compliments to the Editor of The Sun, and requests he will have the good ness to publish the accompanying letter he has con sidered it his duty to address to Lieut.-General Sir Ds Lacy Evans. BRITISH GERMAN LEGION. War Department, June 18, 1856. My dear General,—The Times of yesterday reports that you stated in your speech on Monday night in the House of Commons- -in allwdon to a reported mutiny in a corps of the Foreign Legion at Plymouth—" That these men were not punished, and that an officer sent by the War Department told the men that they would receive a year's pay, and be sent to any colony they chose to select." As I was the officer alluded to, I beg to inform you that I was sent to inquire into the case, and I found that it had been greatly exaggerated in the newspapers (as all military irregularities general!) , are). A few non commissioned officers had been endeavouring to mis lead and dissatisfy the men. Some of these have been punished, and others are still in confinement, waiting till the sentence of general court-martial are ninfirmed. I informed the corps, as I was authorised to do, that they were to be disbanded as soon as the necessary ar rangements could be made (and most of them will leave the country this week). I also warned them thatif they were mutinous or insubordinate they would be imme diately tried by court-martial, and that their punishment would probably be dismissal from her Majesty's service, in which case they would loss all claim to the year's gra tuity and a free passage to their homes or to North America ; but if they continued to perform their duties as good soldiers the conditions under which they were enlisted would be fulfilled. I beg leave to express my surprise that you should have believed that the report in the newspaper you alluded to could possibly be true, and that the War De partment would have sent me with such a message to a mutinous corps. _ _ I beg also to inform you that the 3d Jager Corps are not part of the British German Legion that was raised and organi-ed by Baron von Stutterheim, but they were enlisted at Halifax, in Nova Scotia.—l remain, my dear General, yours very faithfully, (Signed JOHN KINLOCH, Colonel, and Inspect , inGuieral of British Foreign Legions.

The LORD CHANOELLOR took his seat on the woolsack At 5 o'cl(ick. Lord CAMPBELL stated that he had received a number of petitions respec:ing Church rates, but as the bill was in progress in the other house, the rule of their lordships prevented bin presenting those petitions until the bill was brought up. Personally, he hoped the bill would never be hrought up. Lord ELLENBOROuGa presented a petition, com plaining of the evils that bad arisen since the union of the sees of Gloucester %act Bristol. THE OATH OF ABJURATION. The Eirl of DERBY laid on the table a bill to amend the oath of abjuration taken by members of Parliament by omitting all words relatiug to the Pretender. It was only in the event of the bill which stands for a second readin ' on Monday next being rejected that he should press forward his bill. The bill wise read a first time. FACTORIES BILL. - The Earl of DERBY moved the second reading of this bill. The oi j-tct of the bill was to relieve the ma nufacturers from the construction that had been put upon the act passed in the year 1844. It imposed cer tain restrictions upon manufacturers in respect to the fencing of mill gearing which it was impossible to carry out. The present bill provided for the security of the operatives, and would relieve the manufacturers from those harrassing restrictions which were inconvenient and unnecessary. Lord CAMPBELL said the bill met with his entire approbation. lie thought the present bill would pro tect all those who needed protection. The Earl of SLIAFTESBURY approved of the bill, but thought there would be great difficulty in carrying it into effect in the rural districts, lie begged to call the attention of the noble earl to a certain clause in the bill. Under the act at present in force any operative injured by mill gearing could institute proceedings for compen sation for such injury at the public expense. By the measure of the noble earl that power was exceedingly limited. After a few words from the Earl of DEBBY, the bill way real a Recond time. THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE-THE SARDINIAN LOAN. The Earl of CLARENDON rose to move that the message of her Majesty be taken into cun• sideration in reference to the Sardinian loan. The noble lord proceeded to state the terms of the convention which her Majesty had entered into with the King of Sar dinia. The spirit of that convention bound the Par liament of this country, upon the recommendation of her Majesty to advance a further loan of 1,000,0001. on pre cisely the same terms as those upon A , hich"the preieLt loan was granted. Th• noble ear: eoncluded by moving a resolution to carry into effect the terms of the conven tion. The Earl of DERBY gave his cordial concurrence to the resolution, and expres.ed his warn approval of the conduct of the Sardinian Government in reference to the late war. He tbougbt that this country was bound by every principle of honour and good faith to do every thing possible to relieve Sardinia from any embarrass ment she may be labouring under. The resolution was agreed 4 ,*0 nem. con. POLICE (BOROUGHS AND COUNTIES) BILL. On the motion of Lord PANIC:IIE, their lordships went into committee on this bill. On clause 1 being read, Lord DUNGANNON hoped that in the event of the committee not carrying out the provisions of this bill a compulsory measure would be brougbb forward by the Government. Lord CAMPBELL said the present bill was compul• sory. With respect to an observation of the noble lord who bad just sat down, respecting the counties not obeying the law, he thought they would obey it—they ought to obey it, and they should obey it. (Laughter.) The clause waR agreed to. Clauses down to 13 were agreed to. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. BIGGS took the oaths and his seat for the borough of Leicester. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Aberdeen, Peterhead, and Fraserburgb Railway; Glastonbury and Bruton Railway; Isle of Wight Steam Bridge and Approaches ; Renfrewshire Roads ; and the Severn Valley Railway. ABERDEEN UNIVERSITIES. In answer to a que. , tion from Mr. H. BAILLIE, The LORD ADVOCATE said it was his intention to propose a measure to Parliament for the union of the two universities at Aberdeen ; but he should not be dis posed to press it through the house this session, if strongly opposed. He, however, declined to pl e d ge hi m self to the adoption of any particular course with refe mice to it. REGISTRATION OF VOTERS (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. G. DUNDAS moved its committal that day six months. He based his m o ti on on t h e c l ums y an d hasty manner in which the bill h a d b een pre p ar ed, and if passed in its present f orm wou ld h ave a m i s chievous and pernicious tendency. He complained that sufficient time had not been given to the people of Scotland to thoroughly examine and consider the provisions of the bill, which was read a second time at one o'clock in the morning without discussion, and said he was not opposed to any improveroect of the Registration Laws of Scot land, but he was to the proposed mode of dealing with them. He understood the object of the Lord Advocate in pressing on this measure with this unseemly haste was to bring it into operation this year, but that would be impossible. The bill if agreed to would entail great additional expenses on counties, without commensurate advantages. lh. moti m bavinv been seconded, The LORD ADVOCATE said the objections of the hon. weathers to the bill had reference to the details, and should be urged in committee, and not then. The bill was referred to a Noloot alttiollitiO. tqi ea from cash side of the hou s e, composed of ten meta, • of Scotch counties, and five members of Scotch bo• roughs, who rep -t - fed unanimously in favour of the bill. Mr. BLACKBURN supported theomendment. No explanation was given by ,the Li rd Advocate of the principle of the bill on its second reading at one o'clock in the morning, and the Lon, member complained of the hasty manner in which the bill was being pltissed through the house. He asked for time to consider the provisions of the measure, and suggested that the bNI• if it passed through committee, should stand over tiN next session for the people of Scotland to examine and express their opinion on it. After a discu'eion, in which Sir A. Campbell, .Mr. C. Bruce, Mr. A. Black, Sir J. Fergusson, Sir G. Grey, Mr. H. Bane, Mr. Lockhart, Sir G. Montgomery, and several other members took part, The hou-e divided, when the numbers were— For going into committee lO2 .‘ • Against it 49 Majority —s3 The house then went into committee on the bill. On cane 1, The LORD ADVOCATE denied there had been any undue haste exercised in proceeding with the bill, and said that, so far from its being a crude and ill-digested measure, the bill had been drawn by one of the ablest men that could he found for that purpose, and be (the Lord Advocate) felt satisfied that, if passed, it vould work well. The bill had been introduced at the requast of a deputation of influential persons, and he promised them that he would, if possible, press the measure through the house this session. He called a meeting of the Scotch members, who considered the provisions of the measure, and, with one exception, all present were in favour of it. A second and a third meeting were held, to allow those Scotch members who were absent on the first occasion to express their assent or dissent to the measure, and it was not until the third meeting that he received any intimation of an opposition to it. The hon. and learned lord then entered into the details of the measure, and defended the course he had pursued in reference to the bill. It was the wish of the pro moters of the bill that it should come into operation this year, but he was afraid that could not be done. The bill extended to counties and boroughs, but as it was thought the bill could not be considered and passed this session to meet the ensuing general registration, if hon. members would allow the bill to pass he would limit its operation to boroughs for one year, leaving counties to be dealt with in a future session. Ultimately the propisition was assented to, and the bill pawed through#committm in its amended form. The Parochial Schools (Scotland) Bill, committee; the Grand Jury Assessments (Ireland) Bill, third read ing ; and the Burial-grounds (Ireland) Bill, were poet. poned. PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion that this bill, as amended, be con. sidered, Mr. I. BUTT moved its re-commitment for the re• enacted clau-ies of the Crime and Outrage Act to be in serted in full, instead of, as in the bill referred to, by number. Sir G. GREY said it w as not desirable to re-commit the bill, which was one to be enacted for a temporary purpose. If it should be found desirable to continue it at the end of two years, it would then be desirable to insert verbatim the clauses r&erred to. After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn, and the bill ordered to be read a third time to-morrow. The house suspended its sittings at 10 minutes to four o'clock. The hou3e resumed at 6 o'clock aad was [LEFT SITTING.] CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day). OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Coleridge and Mr. Justice Crowder.)
