i,j litvi- IBbttion SUN OFFICE, Seven o'Clock. TATTERSALL'S.--(This Evening.) There were few members present, and no business was transacted on any of the forthcoming events. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—(This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woo sack at the usual hour. The Earl of EGLINTON presented a petition signed by 1,000 brewers, distillers, &c., of the city of London, in favour of the Hay and Straw Bill. Lord PORTMAN presented a petition in favour o the law of marriage. THIRD READINGS. The following bills were severally read a third time and passed :—Leicester and Welford Road, St. Ives and West Cornwall Railway, Gravesend Improvement, Scarborough Water, Shrewsbury Water and Sleaford, and Tattershall Turnpike Trusts. REFORMATORY SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) BILL. The Duke of ARGYLL rose to move the second reading of this bill, which was to remedy a defect in the act passed in the year 1854. The present bill empowered Sheriffs to send children to reformatory schools instead of committing them to prisons. The bill was read a second time without opposition. NIGHT SIGNALS. Viscount DUNGANNON asked the President of the Board of Trade whether it was intended by her Majesty's Government to introduce any bill into Parliament com pelling vessels sailing along the coast or in the Channel during the night to exhibit lights ; and whether any new and recently-recommended plan for safe lights for sailing vessels was at present under the consideration of the Board of Admiralty.. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said there could not be the slightest doubt but that the exhibiting of night signals by vessels as they passed along the coast was one of the greatest importance. In 1852 the Ad miralty laid down certain regulations, but in consequence of complaints having been made against those regulations by the masters of vessels at South Shields,:and other port., a commission was appointed, consisting of Admiral Chads and other officers, who presented their reports to the Admiralty on the subject. The whole subject was un dur the consideration of the Admiralty, who had the power of making such regulations as they thought neces sary without applying to Parliament. The Earl of HARDWICK E (as we understood) said that all steamers as well as sailing vessels should be obliged to exhibit such lights as would distinguish them. The subject then dropped. PEACE PRESERVATION (IRELAND) BILL. On the order of the day for the report of the amend• ments in this bill The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH took exception to the 188th clause of the bil'. The Earl of BESSBOROUGH having explained the nature of the clause, The report of amendments was then received and agreed to. ANNUITIES (NO. 2) BILL. This bill was reAd a third time and passed. NATIONAL GALLERY BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. The Earl of GRANVILLE having made a few verbal amendments on the bill, it pa-sed through committee. FIRE INSURANCES BILL. The bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Eveninz.; The SPEAKER took the chair at the usual hour. NEW MEMBER.

The following bills were severally read a third time and pawed :—Bardney, (Lc. Drainage, London and North Western Railway, Monmouth Roads, Stockton and Dar lington, and Newcastle and Carlisle Union Railway, and Swinnerton's Name. The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third time :—Clarke Thornhill's Estate ; Doning ton Turnpike Trust ; Grand JUnction Water ; London and South-Western Railway (Yeovil to Exeter) ; Mid• Kent Direct Railway (Bronaiey to St. Mary's Cray) ; North British Railway ; West London and Crystal lace Railway ; London Diocesan Church Building So ciety ; and Westminster T erm i nus R a il way.

FERGUSON - lowed, that the onler (1 ith April) for the third reading of thie bill be read, and discharged, and that the bill be re-c:inmitted to the for mer committee, with leave to sit and proceed forthwith. —Agreed to. THE PRINCIPALITIE. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to ask a question of the noble lord the First Lord of the Treasury. It hal been stated that certain instruetior.s had been agreed to in the Congress lately held in Purls with respectito the course to be pursued by the Commissioners about to proceed to the Principalities Lord PALMERSTON said no instructions had been agreed to at the Congress. The instructions to be given to the Commissioners rested entirely with each of the Governments appointing a Commissioner. Those as semblies would not meet until the Principalities had been evacuated. Foreign troops wer e s till th ere, so some delay would therefore take place before the Com missioners met. Mr. ROEBUCK wished to know whether there would be any objection to publish the instructions given to the British Commissioner ? Lord PALMERSTON said it was not usual to pub lish such instructions. Such a course would be produc tive of much inconvenience. THE SOUND DUES. The CII.A.NCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that on Friday next he should move for a select committee to inquire into the Sound Dues, in order to ascertain in what degree they were detrimental to the commerce of the couirry. (Hear, hear.) CHAPTERS. Mr. W. EWART moved four a return from the Eccle siastical Commissioners fur England of the grants or re ductions allowed by them since the Ist day of March, 1855, to the several Chapters of England and Wales, to pay substitutes fir performing additional duties cast on them by the suspen , ion of cAnonries ; with the names of the persons who, as such substitutes, have received such grants.—Agreed to. CATHEDRAL AND COLLEGIATE CHURCHES. Mr. W. EWART moved for a return from the Eccle siastical Commissioners for England of every Payment made to them since the 20th day of January, 1855, on account of any suspended stalls in the cathedral and col legiate churches of England and Wales.—Agreed to. POOR-LAW UNIONS. Sir G. B. PECHELL moved for a return of the unions and single parishes included in the several Parliamentary returns in which the poor were managed under the pro visions of the Act 22 Geo. 111. (Gilbert's Act) which since the Ist day of March, 1837, have been dissolved and become subject to the provisions of the Poor-law Amendment Act ; stating the grounds in each Case on which such dissolution has taken place, and whether with the consent of a raaj,mty of the guardians or other. wise. And also copies of all correspondence since the 3d day of April, 1856, between the visitor and guardians of such unions and single parishes and the Poor Law Board, relative to the clauses in the Poor Law Amend ment Bill, for their compulsory dissolution.—Agreed to. ORDERS OF REMOVAL. Mr ACK R paoye _for _e Ull_EthaWina thra .nunahar ot orders or removai rparisAes signed by ju.3tices and executed in England and Wales during the year ending the 25th day of March, 1855, stating the number of per sons removed, the nature of alleged settlement, and the amount of expenses incurred in the removal, including the cost of obtaining the orders, serving the same, and travelling expenses of the paupers removed, but not the cost of relief before removal ; distinguishing the orders so executed between parishes in the same union and be tween parishes in different unions ; stating also the number of orders of removal of Scotch and Irish paupers and P au Pei' B belonging to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man during the same period ; an d s i m il ar return during the year ending the 25th day of March, 1856. Agreed to. On the motion for the house going into committee of supply, Mr. BLACKBURN called the attention of the house to the increase of 23,0831. 31. 10,1. - on the superannua ation, &c., allowances granted in 1855, as shown by Par liamentary paper, No. 112, and to ask for explanation of certain items apparently not in acctrdance with the 4 and 5 Will. IV., c. 24. Mr. FITZROY rose to order. The items having been considered and agreed to, on the bringing tip the report on supply, it was not competen t f or th e h on. member reopen the c ons id erat i on o f t h e i tems i n question. to After some discussion, Mr. WILSON said be had no objection to explain, which he thought be could satisfactorily, the payments complained of, but declined doing so on the point of order. The SPEAKER ruled that the bon, member (Mr. Blackburn) was out of order, and the subject dropped. MONUMENT AT SCUTARI. Mr. ROEBUCK asked if any arrangements had been made relative to the erection of a monument at Scu tari in memory of those who died in the East, and if it was intended to throw the design open to competition ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was intended to erect such a monument at Scutari, and that Baron Marochetti had been commissioned to exe cute one. Mr. ROEBUCK—Am Ito understand it is not to be thrown open to Competition ? No answer was returned to the hen. member's second question. TE STATE OF GREECE. Mr. J. WGHREGOR called the attention of the house to the present state of Greece, and in reply Lord PALMERSTON" kaki th e course pursued by the government of Greece had confirmed what he had said on former occasions. The occupation of Greece by de tachments of English and French troops was rendered necessary from the aggressive acts of the Greek govern ment against Turkey during the late war. The occupation of Greece bad the effect of stopping those aggressive acts against Turkey, but, he was sorry to say, it had produced no improvement in the Govern ment or internal tranquillity of Greece, which continued in as lamentable a state as ever. There had been every thing done to destroy and get rid of the constitution forms of a representative Government, and the money that should have been paid to liquidate the debts of Greece had been spent in corrupting the electors so as to make the ;Government but a shadow of what it should be. With regard to the debt due from Greece to England, France, and Turkey, it was stipulated by the Treaty that one country was not to be paid before the other out of the surplus revenues of that country. It was im possible for him to say what would be the future policy of England towards Greece. SUPPLY. The house then went into committee of supply. On the vote of 3,4611. towards defraying the expences of the Ecclesiastial Commissioners till the 31st March, 1857, Mr. W. WILLIAMS objected to the vote, on the ground that this sum being exclusively for Church pur poses ought to to be paid out of the funds of the Church. The committee then divided on the vote, when the numbers were— For the vote 166 Against it 66 Majority —loo —(Loud cries of "Hear, hear.") The vote was agreed to 16,0231. was asked for to defray the expenses of the Charity Commissioners. In reply to questions from Mr. MOWBRAY and Mr. LIDDELL, Lord PALMERSTON said it was the intention of the Government to introduce a bill this session founded on the last report of the Charity Commissioners. Mr. W. WILLIAMS called the attention of the com mittee to the increase in this vote of 3,6321. 103., and he wished to know the reasons for the appointment of three new charity commissioners, at an expense of 2,4001. per annum, and he moved that the vote be reduced to the amount of last year, viz., 12,391/. 10a. The hon. mem ber remarked on the unsatisfactory manner in which the charity commissioners dealt with the charitable funds of the country. Sir J. TROLLOPE also complained of the conduct of the Charity Commissioners with reference to the chari. ties in Spalding, in Lincolnshire, which was opposed to the interests and wishes of the inhabitants, and contrary to the will of the donors. Mr. HEADLAM also complained of the corn. missioners. Mr. BAINES was unable to give any reply to the specific cases mentioned by hon. members with reference to the conduct of the commissioners in appr ;- priating certain funds. He could inform the house that the Lord Chancellor in a few days would introduce five or six bills in the House of Lords founded on the Charity Commissioners' report, for carrying out certain schemes therein recommended. One was a scheme for Dulwich College, and also one for each of four or five other places. He defended the conduct of the commissioners, as the best they could pursue under the circumstances. Mr. HENLEY opposed the reduction of the vote. [LEFT SITTING.] THE MILITIA. A very numerous and highly influential meeting of Irish peers and members of the House of Commons, lords-lieutenant of counties, and colonels of regiments of militia, took place on Saturday, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street—the Marquis of Donegal in the chair, supported by the Marquises of Headfort, Clanricarde, Conyngharn, and Dawnshire ; Lords Claud Hamilton, Bective, Gort, Barnard, Granard, Dungan- non, Donoughmore, and Glengall ; Hon. H. Corry, M. P., Hon. H. Cole, M.P., Col. F. Greville, M.P., Colonel Dunne, M.P., Sir W. Verner, Bart, 14. P., Sir Charles Coote, Bart., M.P., Hon. Colonel Maule, Hon. W. Tighe, M.P., Col. Taylor, M.P., Colonel Dickson, M.P., Colonel Palliser, M.P., Colonel Ouseley Higgins, M.P., Daniel O'Connell, Esq., M.P., Richard Davison, Esq., Colonel Vandeleur, M.P., Hon. Colonel O'Callaghan, George Macartney, Esq., M.P., Thomas Connolly, Esq., M.P., F. B. Beamish, Esq., M.P., S. E. De Vere, Esq., M.P., J. F. Maguire, Esq., M.P., W. T. Fagan, Eiq., M.P., &c. We understand they appointed a committee for the purpose of drawing up a plan to be submitted to the Government, for rendering the staff of the regiments of militia while in a disembodied state more efficient and effective than they are at present. We believe, likewise, that they have invited the colonels of the English and Scotch regiments to join them ; and when their plan shall be agreed upon, they intend moving an address to the Qieen in both Houses of Parliament, in order that their suggestions may be more maturely considered and brought under the notice of her most gracious Maj,sty. We hear that the 13 regiments of militia quartered in the camp at Aldershott have received orders to move this week to their different counties for the purpose of disembodiment, and the Antrim Regiment of Mlles is to move to•morrow to Liverpool, there to embark for Belfast. Why, with the chances of an American war staring us in the face, all these fine regiments, who are now in prime order, are sent away, to be dispersed to the winds, and rendered totally ineffective, is to us most incomprehensible. But it is alof a piece with the rest of the military matters with which the present Go vernment have had anything to do. Earnestly and sincerely do we hope that there will be no mere truckling or knocking under on this America❑ question. We have done all, and more than we ought to have done, to secure peace. MILITARY FRACAS. PLYMOUTH, Sunday Morning.—The peace of those portions of the town usually the haunts of the military daring their hours of idleness was disturbed last evening by a fracas between the Limerick Militia and the Royal Marines. So far as the facts can be ascertained the Irish men had made up their minds to give the Marines a good " bating," as a souvenir prior to their leaving the garri son, which it was expected they would do in a few days. The Limericks accordingly assembled in large numbers in Storehouse-lane and the neighbourhood, and soon began to show fight, making a fierce onslaught on any unfortunate "jolly" that happened to come in the way. The "time of day," however, was soon passel to the Marines, and they were speedily reinforced, and soon drove the militiamen out of Stonehouse. The latter, on getting over the bridge, took possession of the Govern ment quarry, where they found a plentiful supply of stones prepared for the roads. Armed with these wea pons they for some time kept the Marines in i nheck, but these being the older soldiers , of the two, exercised a piece of generalship which succeeded in drawing the Limericks from their stronghold. The Marines feigned a retreat, when the Limericks left the quarry in pursuit ; the Marines, however, suddenly made a halt, and in turn drove the Limericks past the quarries up the hill to the main guard. Here a company of, the Limericks hap pened to be on guar d, an d were ordered to drive the Marines back. This duty the soldiers were nothing loath to perform, but to their credit it must be stated that they used their arms with temper and discretion, and though several of the Marines were injured none of the wounds were of a very serious character, being the result of blows only, except in one instance, where a man re ceived a stab in the arm. The officer in charge of the guard also wounded one of the Marines in the face by a blow with the flat, side of his sword. Pickets shortly after arriving, the disturbance was soon quelled, and the men ordered to their respective barracks. THE SUNDAY BAND QUESTION. A correspondence has taken place between "the com mittee for the public demonstration in favour of the Sun da., baudo" dad Sir C. 0.-uyi i“ ravrozzoo to the ploxing of music in the parks on Sundays. Sir G. Grey directed a letter, to be sent to the commit tee, which referred to a notice that there would be a public demonstration in favour of public bands on Sun day next in Hyde-park, at four o'clock, and stated that, "although her Majesty's Government have no desire to' interfere in any way with the free expression of opinion on this question on the part of the inhabitants of the Metropolis," yet that the royal parks were open for the enjoyment and recreation of. the public under certain conditions, and that assemblages of the people to bear speeches or to pass resolutions were wholly inconsistent with the objects for which the parks had been made accessible to the people. The letter then intimates that the,police and park-keepers would, if necessary, prevent any such meeting, expressing a hope, however, that no such meeting would be attempted. To this letter an answer was sent by the committee to Sir G. Grey, signed by Mr. Pratt, the secretary, stating that the committee would use their best endea vours to prevent any such demonstration iu Hyde-park, "having only in view the one otject of providing the innocent recreation of music for the benefit of the people ou Sundays." A letter was also sent on the part of Sir G. Grey to Mr. Oury, the leader of the Brighton Pavilion band, in which . Sir George stated that, having heard that the band played last Sunday in Hyde-park, he felt it his duty to point out t o M r . O ury t h at the royal parks have been opened for the enjoyment and recreation of the !T e bbe under certain regulation; which do not permit of Innientierformance of private bands, or of other anima -5 lan any day in those parks without the previous sanction of the authorities under whose control they are the performance placed. Sir George, therefore expressed a hope that without the requisiteivTinothisticeettehraat,n of ' the band , wouldnot be repeated i answer Ider e renvyae s tosent tb e authority. by op i theni opinion n exprcommitteeexpressed by Sir G. Grey, "no band will be provided on Sunday next for Hyde-park, butentth,:tp::)rakndasndeviilal pVlaiycto( r w i a e . a p t a h r e ii r h following Sunday durini , the summer, from four to six o'clock." o p n er a i n tt d i a n y g) n i e n st th a e nd ß o e n g eae The 3d West York Regiment of Militia arrived in Doncaster from Belfast, in two detachments, on F r i day and Sat ur d a y.

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING- 1 JUNE 2, 1856. THE OVERLAND MAIL. We have received, in anticipation of the over land mail, our files of newspapers and correspond ence from India and China. The following are extracts : (From the Bombay Times of April 28.) SIIMMLRY.—A little physical commotion has saved our columns from presenting the total blank of intelligence to which our profound political tran quillity would otherwise have reduced us. On the tith and 7th inst. a succession of shocks of earth quake were experienced over nearly the whole of the Punjaub, and so on to Simla ; the mischief oc casioned by them does not seem to have been at all considerable. The northern portion of the Pun jaub is one of our great centres of earthquake com motion, and though there is no appearance of an active volcano having during the human period manifested itself within 1,000 miles of the Indus, seldom a year passes that Peshawur is not shaken. Casual Storm's begin now to make their appear ance in anticipation of the south-west monsoon. Heavy rain fell on the 4th all over Lower Bengal, and about the same date there were sharp thunder storms at Madras and Ceylon. On the 13th, 14th, and 15th their were thunder-storms and rain at Poonab, and so southward by the Ghauts and. Malabar eoast to Cannanore. On the 18th a vio lent storm was experienced in the Arabian Sea, and serious apprehensions are entertained for the fate of the Queen steamer, which has since then been missing. From the appearance of the atmosphere at Bom bay an early fall of rain begins to be hoped for, though as yet it is too soon to prophesy as to what may occur five weeks hence, the monsoons hardly ever setting in before the first week of June. Meanwhile the season is advancing without any of that serious suffering having yet made its appearance, from scarcity of water, that was so greatly apprehended. The only single case of dis quietude within our dominions we have beard of for some months past is another outburst amongst the Moplahs in Malabar. These tribes, it will be remembered, are of Arab extraction ; they amount in number to about 70,000, and contain amongst them many of the most enterprising traders, agri culturists, and shipowners in that quarter. They inherited the name bestowed by the natives on the Nestorian Christians who preceded them, that of manta pillay—"mother and child"—the picture or image of the Virgin and infant Saviour being con spicuous in all the :Nestorian churches. The out breaks which occur amongst them every two or three years are confined to a dozen or two of fanatics, who, without any apparent object but the slaughter of the infidel in view, run a-muck and invariably expiate their crimes with their lives. On the pre sent occasion a detachment of Queen's troops has been sent from Bombay to Calicut to suppress the ecitmotion, and we shall as a matter of course hear, by return, of the insurgents rushing on their fate and perishing to a man, two or three of our soldiers probably falling by their knives. With this trifling exception, the most profound peace prevails through every part of India. The latest news from Burma!' is to the 2d inst. Everything was then quiet. Some of the local authorities had paid a visit to Bassein to examine the proposed site of the new town of Dalhousie, and the result is said to have been its entire con demnation. Fires had been very prevalent, and so much rice had been destroyed that it was feared the price of this article would be raised. A soldier of her Majesty's 84th Foot has been murdered, an 4 two Burmese have confessed to having participated in the murder, and offered to point out others im plicated in the bloody deed. The King of Oude has got as far as Benares on his way to England, in quest of the redress of his wrongs, urged to the measure, much against his inclinations, by a baud of grievance -mongers pro posing to plunder him. It seems more than doubt ful, even if after reaching Calcutta, that his friends will be able to persuade him to embark, and some thing like the use of physical force appears to have been requisite to get him the length he has already gone on his way. Oude, meanwhile, enjoys the most perfect tranquillity, not the slightest appear ance of discontent on the change of masters having manifested itself. General Sir James Ontram has been suffering so much from indisposition that ho is about to start on six months' leave of absence to Europe. His family remain behind him, an evidence that the malady from which ho suffers is not such as to occa sion alarm. Ali Moorad, chief of Khyrpoor, is now inßombay on his way to London, like the King of Oude, in quest of redress for his wrongs. The advance of the hot weather brings about the summer vacation, preceded by the annual prize giving to all our seminaries. The results at Bom bay, so far as the Eiphinstone College is concerned, are different from what they have been for ten years past, inasmuch as it has been admitted on all hands that the reports published since 1847 have, conveyed the most exaggerated and delusive ha pressions as to the proficiency of the pupils. The governors, supreme and local, are at the seats of their respective governments. The ship Clairvoyant, from Calcutta to Madras, struck upon a reef to the southward of the Seven Pagodas. She made so much water that it was deemed prudent to run her ashore to prevent her from sinking, and it is feared that with the first rough weather she will go to pieces. The ship Cairn ' gorm, froth London, in coming into Bombay Har bour last Monday morning, got upon the Prongs near the lighthouse about daybreak ; it was nearly low water at the time, and she was got safely towed off by the H.C. steamer Gulnare. Seen as the sun rose, she presented an appearance singularly similar to that of the ship Castlereagh as she stuck fast on the same point on the 19th June, 1340. Luckily for the Cairngorm she had the north-west in place of the south-west monsoon to deal with, and so escaped pretty nearly scatheless—the Castlereagh was dashed to pieces whore she struck. In the market business in imports is dull, and prices are declining. Exports are quiet, and prices of cotton steady, with a fair amount of transactions going forward to China. Freights are firm and looking up. Exchange is declining rapidly, our money market being easier, with a slight improve ment in all descriptions of securities. Coffee, Mocha, is in demand, and has slightly ad vanced. Coast produce remains at last prices. EXPORTS. Sheep's Wool.—We have no change to note in ocr our quotations—the demand i 3 good. Cotton Wool is being received in large quantities, and the market for all descriptions is very steady, large pur chases having been made both for the English and China markets. We now quote for Surat and Broach, Rs. 99 to 100 ; Dhollera, Rs. 93 to 94. For Oomera wutty we have no change to note, but Mangalore de clined a little. Opium.—During tbe' past week there has been some slight inquiry for the drug, and purchases are beginning to be made ; the quotations being for Mundlesier, Rs. 1,130 to 1,140 ; and for Indore, Rs. 1,125 to 1,135. Freights have an advancing tendency, tonnage not being abundant. We quote for cotton to London, 4/. to 4/. 2s. 63., and to Liverpool 4/. ss. For seed to London, 41. ss. For China several vessels have been chartered at Rs. 14 per candy, but the rate has since advanced to Rs. 16. Exchange—Only a small business has been done for this steamer in first-class paper at 2s. 1:4d., and in local credits and documents at 2s. 2 fd. to 2s. 2d, On Cal cutta Court's bills, 60 days' sight, 99.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY NIGHT. TRH TIPPERARY BANK. The Master of the Rolls has been engaged the past two days hearing an appeal from Master Murphy's de cision, in the case of Mr. Ginger, one of the English shareholders pronounced liable as a contributory to the Tipperary Bank. A clear case of fraud was proved against the Sadleirs, and Mr. Ginger sought from ex emption on the grounds shown. After a protracted discussion, The Master of the Rolls asked how much, supposing the English shareholders were held to beliable, remained due by them ? Mr. Fitzgibbon, Q.C., replied that the sum amounted to 73,0001. It was arranged that notices of a similar appeal from Master Murphy's order should be served in the other English cases (53), upon the solicitor for the official ma nager, the Court observing that as in whatever way the case was decided, it was probable that it would go before another tribunal, perhaps to the House of Lords ; it was therefore necessary that the.usual forms should be com plied with. The case was adjourned. In the course of the proceedings in the above case, be fore the Master of the Rolls, yesterday, His Honour asked how much of the assets had been realised ? Mr. Fitzgibbon—l believe between 25,0001. and 30,000/. Master of the Rolls—l wish to know what funds the official manager has to pay a dividend of 2s. in the pound. I know of no country, except Ireland, in which a divi dend would be declared without having funds to meet it. Mr. Lawless—The Bank of Ireland has upwards of 70,0001. in bills, which are being realised, and he has made a call of 401. a share. Mr. Fitzgibbon—l believe some of my clients are the eggs out of which the official manager expects these chickens. (Laughter.) The official manager, in answer to questions put to him by the Court, stated that although the liabilities of the bank had been stated at 430,0001., he had ratified him self that only 250,0001. could be established against the bank. He had cash in hand to pay a dividend, 25,0001., besides 60,0001. in bills, and he was prepared to pay 2s. in the pound on all the claims admitted up to the pre sent. The Master of the Rolls said that it was contrary to the principles on which an estate in bankruptcy was ad ministered to calculate a dividend upon the assumption that assets to a certain amount would be realised. The claims lodged before the Master amounted to about 430,000/., and it would take nearly 43,0001. to give a dividend of 28. in the pound. The Official Manager said that he had money to pay a dividend on all the claims admitted. In the Court of Queen's Bench, yesterday, several ap plications were made by Mr. Heron, and granted to sub stitute the name of the official manager in prosecutions against the bank ; and, in answer to the Court, it was sated that the parties did not come in to prove with the other depositors, as they considered that they were entitled to be paid in full. THE LATE MURDER AT RALLYHAISE. _ A fellow named Freeman has become an approver in the case of the Ballyhaise murder. TEE MURDER OF MISS HINDS. The man arrested in Drogheda some de.ys ago as " Red Pat Bannon," charged with the murder of Miss Hinds, is not that notorious person. There is a strong impres sion that "Red Pat" was murdered by his accomplices shortly after their deed of blood was accomplished, to prevent his turning approver —a result they apprehended from reasons not explained. FISH HANAPER OFFICE. The papers to-day deny the truth of a statement in a Limerick journal to the effect that Mr. Fitzsiruon is about to retire from the clerkship of the Hanaper, to make a place for Mr. John O'Connell, M.P.

THE WEST YORK—SERIOUS RIOT. The following is from the Belfast ifercury of yester day : "On Thursday evening the first division of the 3d West York Militia, consisting of six companies and the head-quarters, under the command of Colonel Loftus, sailed in the Prince Patrick steamer, for Fleetwood, en route to Doncaster. The men were accompanied from the barracks to the quay by the band of the Londonderry Militia, some men of the same regiment, and others of the second division of the 3 , 1 West Yorks, who are to depart to-morrow, as well as by an immense crowd of the townspeople, nearly all of the lower classes. At the quay a quarrel took place, the origin of which is in volved in doubt, and, from the great number of state ments made concerting it, it is almost impossible to arrive at the truth. We have been informed that the officers had great difficulty in getting their luggage on board, in c evequence of the pressing of the crowd. After the men about to proceed to Fleetwood had em barked it is said that a woman of di,reputable character attempted to force her way into the steamer, and was ordered back by seamen appointed to attend to the gang way. Some persons in the crowd took her part, and in sisted that she should be allowed to proceed. A scuffle ensued, when a soldier of the 3d West York Regiment is stated to have struck one of the civilians engaged in the affray. The soldier was immediately set upon by five or six persons, others of the soldiers standing by inter fered, and a melee ensued, when it was found necessary to clear the shed in which the combatants were engaged. After the departure of the steamer the greater num ber of the men of the Londonderry Militia (about 30) were formed by Lieutenant Gage, add pro ceeled up Corporation-square and Corporation-street, followed by some of the West York Regiment, and an immense crowd. In Corporation-street, near its junc tion with Waring-street, some broken stones had re cently been laid down for making repairs. It is stated that when passing over these stones a movement was ob served amongst the soldiers as if they were lifting some, and it is also averred that immediately after stones were thrown backwards at the crowd by the soldiers. This statement, however, is not generally credited ; bat it is certain that the militia hal only got a little way up Waring -street when they were assailed from behind with stones thrown from the crowd. The soldiers threw at their assailants all the missiles they could lay hold of in Waring-street, and proceeded rapidly into Donegal street, where an abundance of stones were obtained. Then commenced the most serious part of the affair. The soldiers and the persons in the crowd assailed each other with all their might. Several persons were slightly in jured by being struck with missiles ; but in the end the civilians were victorious, and pursued the militia to the barrack gate, which they were with difficulty prevented entering. The gate was then closed, but the crowd, which had gradually increased, and now numbered seve ral thousand persons, remained in North Queen-street and the other streets adjacent to the Farracks. A party of about 75 of the Londond, rry Militia, with tbeirarms, issued from the barracks shortly after, followed by a large number of the men with their side arms ; and the following persons, who were observed in the crowd, were arrested, and lodged in the North Queen-street Police Barrack, on the charge of having been concerned in the attack upon the militia :—Wm. Holland, Geo. Bradley, J. Nolan (or Knowles), Alex. Tosh, F. Scott, J. M`Cul loch, Alex. Kane, Mark Shaw, Dominick Campbell, J. Walker, W. Montgomery, Jas. M`Cann, W. Kirker, J. Kennedy, Jas. lll`Creight, Wm. Boyle, John Brown. A large number of the local force, under the command of Mr. Lindsay and Mr. Greene, and as many of the constabulary as could be collected, were almost imme diately in North Queen-street, and messengers were despatched for tue Mayor (S. G. Getty, Esq.) and Wm. S. Tracy, Esq., R M., who proceeded at once to the scene of the disturbance to take steps for the preserva tion of the peace, but nothing occurred to call their in terference. A strong guard of the militia was formed in the B trrack-square to lbe ready to act if required. The crowd, consisting for the most part of women and boys, who appeared more disposed to be lookers-on than, participators in any breach of the peace, were driven hack from the barrack-gate to .Donegal -street by the local constables, and soon after gradually dispersed. At nine o'clock the Mayor and Mr. 'Tracy proceeded to the police-barracks ; and after the names and residences of the prisoners, who were nearly all boys, had been taken down, they were all discharged for the present, but may be brought up on summonses on a future day. The conduct of the police force during the affair was most praiseworthy. The quarrel was so sudden and unexpected that none of the force were present at the cimmencement ; hut on the way from the quay to the barracks they did all in their power to separate the com batants ; and in North Queen-street they succeeded, with othere, i❑ preventing soldiers—who rushed excited out of the barracks after the guard with their naked bayonets—from carrying out their apparent intention of closing with and wounding ;some of the crowd. The Conduct of the militia at the quay and at their barracks has been strongly reprobated by some of the eyewit nesses ; but it is 'admitted that they were not the ag gressors in the !first instance, though the way in which at the barracks they appeared desirous of inflicting summary chastisement must be deplored. Though the consequences of the affray have not been serious, we re• gret that it should have taken place, for the militia have deserved the approbation of the townspeople." • CALEDONIAN FANCY DRESS BALL.—The Lord Cham berlain has just communicated to the ladies patronesses of this grand fete that her Majesty has been gra ciously pleased to confer the honour of her patron a4e 'on the proposed ball for the benefit of the Royal Caledonian Asylum and the Royal Scottish Hospital.

The past fortnight has been as barren of events worthy of been chronicled in our pages as any we ever remember even in this dullest of the seasons of the year. Oude has been provokingly tranquil ; the opponents of annexation have not been able to find a row to exaggerate into a rebellion, or a murder to magnify into a massacre. The poor de bauched ex-King has at length been bullied and wheedled into breaking ground from Cawnpore, and is now on his way down to Calcutta ; but how long the journey is likely to occupy it is impossible to say, and if he does not reach Calcutta it is very doubtful whether he will ever muster courage to undertake a sea voyage. Mr. Brandon, a gentle man who was sent out of Lucknow by the late re sident, Sir W. H. Sleeman, is acting as chamber. lain to Wajid Alli Shah, and Mr. Menzies, a mer chant at Mirzapore, is said to have been engaged as an agent on a large salary to accompany him to England. There is, however, a third gentleman upon the deluded monarch's staff, to se cure whose services he is reported to have paid down a large sum of money ; this Mr. Bird, late a captain of the 4th Regiment Native Infantry, and for several years an assistant to the resident at Lucknow ; he is also the nephew of a " respectable gentleman of the name of Bird," as Lord Ellen borough styled Mr. Wm. Wilberforce Bird, for merly member of the Supreme Council of India, and for a time president of the council and deputy governor of Bengal. From the antecedents of the uncle it is anticipated that the nephew will be able to do much towards obtaining for Wajid Alli the restitution of his throne ; so little do people here know how very slight is the influence of a retired Indian magnate in England. Another remarkable character is just now in Cal cutta—Gen. D'Orgoni, as he styles himself, and delights to be called, though only an ex-captain of the French army, arrived from Rangoon in the last steamer. The general is going to Paris as speci a l ambassador from the Lord of the White Elephant and Golden Throne ; his suite, ea 1 to consist of some 15 individuals, of whom four or five are noblemen of high rank, is reported to be coming up to Calcutta in a sailing vessel. What the King of Burmah promises himself, or rather what Gen. D'Orgoni has promised him to achieve by sending a costly embassy to the Emperor of France, it is difficult to !guess. Iu the mean time everything continues peaceable in Pegu, and in every other part of the British-Indian dominions. General Anson is setting himself energetically to work to obtain an augmentation to the number of the working officers of the army, aud it is whispered that lie has threatened to throw up his command if measures are not taken to secure the presence of more officers with regiments. He wished to have officers of the Bengal army on civil and political employ remanded to their corps, and their places filled by officers from the Royal and Madras armies, and uneovenan ted servants ; but to this some members of the Supreme Government ob jected, and all the minutes are stated to have been transmitted to England by the Governor-General for consideration and future orders. The Court of Directors is not likely to relinquish a system which enables them still to provide handsomely for rela tives ancl friends, though not so handsomely as in the civil service, which is now closed against their nominees. The other plan of increasing the num ber of regimental officers is objectionable, and the only real remedy for the existing evils is the for mation of a staff corps. The case of " Moolvie Alli Kurreem v. Sandys," for libel, was re -argued in the Supreme Court, before a full bench, on Saturday, the 12th instant, but tho judgment of the Court has not yet been de livered. The question at issue now is, whether the judicial report of M r . S an d ys to the Sudder Court was or was not a privileged communication, and that question hinges upon the fact as to having travelled beyond the record. Should it be ruled that the communication was privileged the verdict will be for the defendant ; bat, on the other hand, it will he for the plaintiff, with 500 rupees damages. Lord and Lady Canning have begun well, patron ising and visiting all the public institutions of Cal cutta, and making themselves popular by the cour teous and friendly treatment of their guests at a series of frequent dinner parties. How long his lordship's popularity is destined to last appears questionable. It is evident that salaries of civil servants are to be curtailed, and all fixed allowances are threatened - with reduction ; and naturally rumours are afloat that Lord Canning has come to India pledged to carry out these unpalatable mea sures. If such should he the case, which we do not believe, ho will probably become as unpopular as Lord William Bentinek, who was a more hospitable Governor-General than any of his successors, and whose lady was all that could be wished for in the leader of Calcutta society. General Outram is said to be unwell, and it is added that he will hate to take six months' leave of absence on medical certificate. The report wants confirmation, and is probably au invention of his enemies and the friends of the ex-King of Oude. Sir James might, however, leave his post with perfect safety, so quietly is Oude settling down under British rule, and so popular is that rule with the great bulk of the inhabitants. After the above was in typo we received informa tion that there was not the slightest truth in the report of Sir James Outram being sick. CHINA. (From the Overland China Mail, April 25.) CANTON, APRIL 10. The activity displayed in trade by all classes of Chinese proves that not only the provincial city is quiet, but that the surrounding country is also free from all serious disturbances, and no one sup poses there will be anything to interrupt these peaceful times. The execution•ground at Canton, which was the scene of such horrid massacres a year ago, is now comparatively seldom stained with blood, and the potters have begun to dry their wares on it as aforetime.

The courage and humanity of Mr. John Colyer, boat swain of her Majesty's ship Devonshire, have recently been acknowledged by the Royal Humane Society. Vice-Admiral of the White, the Hon. William Gordon, Commander-in-blief at the Nore, a few days since (in the presence of Mr. Arthur Price, his secretary, and Commander Robert D. Aldrich, of the Waterloo) pre sented Mr. Colyer with the thanks of the committee in scribed on vellum. It is therein stated that it was re solved unanimously— " That the courage and humanity again displayed by John Colyer, boatswain of her Majesty's ship Devonshire, on the 12th April last, in having jumped overboard to the relief of a boy named Adams, who had fallen into the sea at Sheerness, and whose life he saved, call forth the liveiy admiration of this committee, and justly entitle him to its sincere thanks, inscribed on vellum, which are hereby awarded." He received the society's meda under similar circumstances in 1849, as follows : " While serving in her Majesty's steam-frigate Dragon, Capt. Mill, he jumped overboard on the 2d of May and saved one man from drowning. On the 22d of the same month he again rescued two men who clung to each other in a drowning state, and rescued both from a watery grave. He also shortly after saved the bodyof the captain's Joiner by diving and bringing him up after he had sunk ; the poor fellow unfortunately died in about 20 minutes after he was taken on board. Capt. Fleming, of the 17th Lancers, who was an eye-witness of these acts of courage and humanity, afterwards presented him with a mas sive gold anchor, buoy chain and buoy, and a silver call-pipe ; these, with the society's medal, were pre sented to him on the quarterdeck of the Dragon, in the preoence of the officers and chip's company." On Saturday afternoon a detachment of Crimean in• valids, to the number of 43 non-commissioned officers and men belonging to ♦arious regiments serving in the East, arrived at Strood from the military hospital, Chi chester, in charge of Acting-Assistant-Surgeon E. R. Blacked. On reaching Strood Station they were met by a fatigue party from the barracks, who assisted the sick and wounded to the ambulance waggon and vans in wait ing to convey them to Chatham. After the usual medical examination had been made 19 of the invalids were or dered to be taken to the supplemental hospital, 13romp ton, two removed to Fort Pitt, and the remainder sent to the invalid depot, St. Mary's, to await their discharge. The following circular, having reference to the new regulations for supplying recruits with their kit at the public expense, has been issued to all officers commanding depots and regiments : " With reference to the Royal warrant of the 2d Jan. last, directing the issue of a oompleto kit to all recruits, I am directed by the Secretary of State fir War to ac• quaint you that, in order to avoid the inconvenience which may arise from an accumulation in the regimental stores of knapsacks of deserters and non-effective men, it is con siderA a+lviaabl© that the practice which has hitherto prevailed with respect to the reissue of those knapsacks to recruits may be continued for the present, and nom, pensltion given to the recruits for the difference in value and such compensation may he charged in the regimen tal account.
