HOUSE OF LORDS—(This Day.) THE WENSLEYDALE PEERAGE COMMITTEE OF PRIVILEGES. . The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 2 o'clock, and shortly after the house resolved itself into a Committee of Privileges, Lord REDESDALE in the chair, " to examine and consider the copy of the letters patent purporting to create the Right Hon. Sir James Parke, Knight, a baron of the United Kingdom for life (pre sented onMonday the 4th inst.), and to report thereon to this house." The LORD CHANCELLOR announced that be had reoeived a letter from Lord 'Wensleydale, announcing that he declined appearing before their lordships' corn mittee by counsel. Lord CAMPBELL said he rejoiced big learned friend had not denied, by that letter, their lordships' jurisdiction. Mr. Smith, an officer of their lordships' house, exa mined by Lord Lyndhurst, produced copies of the jour nal of the house, dated 1660, relative to Earl Banbury peerage, to the Pierbeek peerage of 1660, to the Marquis of Worcester peerage, 1660, and relative to the scions of peers during the life time of the father, and also of barons by writ, and also that of the peerages of Ormond, Hamilton and Brandon, and Fermoy, and of Lord Dingwall, and others. M. Sharpe said that the patents before their lordship3' muse had been translated by Mr. Hardy, but that gen eieman was not present. Witness had not examined ,them. Lord LYNDHURST asked their lordships if they deemed it necessary to send for Mr. Hardy ? The LORD CHANCELLOR said be apprehended it mattered not whether a witness was called to prove the translation. Noble lords should use their own discre tion on that point. Lord LYNDHURST said be wished to know their lordships desired him to go through patents pre vious and subsequent to the periods placed on the table to prove a negative. He wished to know if that was safficieet ? lie bad not had time to make further re catches. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he could give no answer to the question. , It was for the noble lord to ake his own course. Lord LYNDHURST said there had not been suffi °lent time for him to examine the other patents to prove a negative. Lord LYNDHURST said an application had been made to the Master of the Rolls to make certain searches, but that learned gentleman declined, not having re ceived an order from their lordships' house. That was his answer whereby certain evidence lied not been pro duced, and if it was necessary to produce it a further delay must take place. Lord CAMPBELL regretted the delay that must arise in consequence of this. They were now morally convinced they had all the evidence that could he pro duced, but no doubt it would be desirable to have the legal evidence that further search had been made, but no further precedents could be found. The Earl of DERBY said this was a question that ought not. to be taken up in a party spirit. It was not for the Lard Chancellor or any other noble lord to throw obstacles in the way. It was not Lord Lyndhurst's case, but that of the committee. (Hear, hear.) When, however, the whole of the evidence relative to the question had been c illected and examined, and laid on the table ot their lrirdmhins' it mciii!:l be for the noble aria rear .cal 10.4 (r, j eaeuiele beeinic a motion thereon to the committee. Earl GRANVILLE said that the Government had no desire to throw impediments in the way. If it had been brought in a party spirit it would have been much easier for the Government. Lord ST. LEONA RDS condemned the conduct of tho Government with respect to the conduct of this in iKrY• The LORD CHANCELLOR denied that the course he took was one of a technical character. It was for hire to say what search should be made in this case. He was ready to admit that every search had been made. Lord CAMPBELL- -With that admission of the Lord Chancellor the noble Lord (Lyndhurst) had better close his evidence. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had received a letter from a gentleman in the Rolls Court, Dublin, announcing the grant of au Irish life peerage in the time of Philip and Mary, which was the time stated by the noble lord (Lord Derby). He reserved the right of using it if he thought necessary. Lord LYNDHURST said he would endeavour to bring before tneir lordships such evidence as would allow them to come to a correct conclusion on the subject. Earl GREY said that he thought the negative search might go on, and the noble and learned lord gave his notice for the discussion of the question on an early day. Lord BROUGHAM doubted they could not come to a proper conclusion until the whale of the evidence had been produced. It would net do to discuss the ques tion on the admissions of this or that from treble and learned lords, and he suggested the further consideration of it till the whole of the inquiry was completed. Lord ABINGER said this was not a mere question of Lord Wensleydale's takiog his seat, but one that affected the constitution of their house. If life peer agas weregiven to lawyers, why should they not be given to military men ? To these tvo orders of peerage might bring the hereditary branch into collision with the Crown and the House of Commons, and might endan ger the existence of their lordships' house. Lord DERBY suggested the adjournment of the committee to Friday, and the noble and learned lord gave notice of a motion on the question in the mean time. Lord LYNDHURST said he would do so on the assumption that no additional search being made for a negative should not be used against him. Lord GLENELG asked if it was the intention of the noble and learned lord to cal in the assistance of the judges in deciding the legality of this question ? Lord LYNDHURST said he had no such intention. The judges might give au opinion on the legality of the patent, but they could not decide on the right to sit and vote, that being out of their jurisdiction. A case had occurred where the judges hai been called in, but they declined entering on the right of a peer to sit and vote. The House of Lords were the sole authority to de , tide that question. Lord CAMPBELL sail if that were adopted great ( delay must arise, because the judges were about to start on circuit. Earl GRANVILLE reminded the house that the pre sent discusAien was irregular. Earl DERBY asked if Lord Lyndhurst gave notice of a, motion, it was right the Government or any other noble lord endeavoured to propose an amendment ? Earl GRA:NVILLP, said that, for the Government he would state, if any amendment were intended to be proposed, ample notice of it wou l d b e given. At least 24 hours' consideration would b e required. * Earl GREY gave a similar intimation. It would be necessary to see the motion first. After some remarks from Lord BROUGHAM on the ill-advised granting of the peerage, Their lordships adjourned till Friday next at five o'clock, VLord CAMPBELL intimating that, if desirable, the house should sit on till a late hour to finish it. The house then resumed, and suspended its sittings till five o'clock. Lord Lyndhurst, in the course of the sitting, handed in his motion, which declared that the patent creating Sir J. Parke a life peer did not entitle him to sit or vote in their lordships' house. Their lordships re-assembled at five o'clock. The Earl of HARD WICKE gave notice that to morrow he should ask a question of her Majesty's Go •ernment as to their intentions respecting the ships sunk within the harbour of Sebastopol. Lord BROUGHAM postponed his motion respecting judicial statistics from next Friday till Friday week. The Earl of DERBY presented a petition praying that in any measure that might be adopted on the subject of Church Rates due care be taken to preserve the union between Church and State. Lord ST. LEONARDS presented a similar petition rout Dorsetsbire. THE FALL OF ARS. The Earl of HARDWICKE said a few night ago a wish had been expressed by his noble friend (the Earl of Ellenborough) that the papers in reference to the surren der of Kars should be placed on the table, and that a discussion should take place before the noble lord for Foreign Affairs left this country. It was, however, understood from the Government that the pressure on them was so great that they were afraid that the papers could not be produced before the noble earl's departure. He wished now to ask when, it wa s likely they wculd e laid on the table ? Earl GRANVILLE said, in the absence of the THE SUN, LiOvDON, MONDAY EvENINEV, FEBRUARY 18 1856. Under Secretary of State, he could not exactly specify the time. ' The Earl of MALMESEHRY hoped that as this was a subject of the most pressing importance, that the noble earl would urge the greatest despatch in respect to their preparation. Earl GRANVILLE said the greatest despatch would stn., be used in order that the papers might be laid on the table. Lord REDESDA.LE moved the following resolu- tious :- 1. " That no private bill he read a second time after 60 Tuesday, the Bth day of July next. 2. That no bill confirming any provisional order of the Board of Health or authorising any enclosure of lands 31 under special report of the Enclosure Commissioners for England and Wales, or for confirming way scheme of the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales, be read a second time after Tuesday, the 15th day of July 22 next. 26 3. That when a 'bill shall have passed the house with amendments, these orders shall not apply to any new bill St , sent up from the House of Commons which the Chairman St. of Committees shall report to the house as substantially 10 the same as the bill so amended." 53 Earl GREY said he thought it was due to the cha 53 - racter of the house to stand by these resolutions if they 20 were passed. Notwithstanding that resolutions were 20 passed, they allowed them to be suspended in reference 10 to measures which could not bear the character of urgency, 101 as for example the limite d liabilit y measure was pressed 5,g upon them at the latter end of last session on the plea of 25 urgency. He now appealed to their lordships whether St, that plea was at all justified, and whether they would 20 not have acted in a more consistent manner if ft, they had refused to entertain the subject of that tit measure at such a period, when it was impossible it 25 could be considered in a manner adequate to its import- 25 ante, and when they knew that it bad been passed St , through the other house in the most hasty and careless 10 gt m anner ? St After a few remarks from Earl GRANVILLE, 10 Lord REDESDALE withdrew the resolutions fvr the 6c present. PIRACY IN THE CHINA SEAS. St, The Earl of ALBEMARLE rose to present a peti- 10 Lion from the native and European merchants of the St. British settlement of Singapore, praying for protection St. to their trade from piracy ; and asked her Majesty's 1 . 3 ,,t Ministers what steps they bad taken to co m p l y with a 't. St. memorial from the merchants of Singapore, dated the st 12th of June, addressed to the Lords Commissioners of , the Admiralty, on the subject of the aforesaid piracy. Ths noble lord lriefly described the circumstances under which the piracy took place, as well as the pecu liar obstacle which prevented its being put down. The most formidable piracies were committed by the Chinese, and the smaller junks fell an easy prey. Apart from the duty of putting down piracy we had a convention with the Netherlands, dated 1824, and the Dutch performed their part of the duty, whereas our vessels were wholly inadequate for their intended purpose. He begged, therefore, to ask the noble lord the question of which he bad given notice. The Earl of GRANVILLE said that information had been received that piracy was carried on in such small boats in the China Seas thit the ships sent out could not follow owing to the shallow water. A despatch had been !sent out, which stated that the admiral on the sta'ion bad been enabled to detach one steamer for the purpose of putting down the piratical trade. When the orders of the Board of Contro' were received he bad no doubt that more effectua means would be taken to carry out this object. VICE-PRESIDENT OF THE COUNCIL OF EDUCATION.

[The following was intended for insertion on Saturday, but owing to a press of matter it was omitted The drenching rain somewhat marred the enjoyment of the sport at Lincoln on Tuesday and Wednesday last Still the racing was marked by several incidents of im portance, and the closeness of the encounters rendered the spectators indifferent to the humid atmosphere and sodden earth. The Ring was most numerously repre sented, and in certain instances speculation was actively pursued, and the " fielders " bad not a very " hot time " of it. "That boy Fordham " commenced the season with his old luck. He managed to land Tame Deer the winner for the Trial Stakes, thereby upsetting a tre mendous "pot "on Fisherman. The running, however, at Lincoln is likely to prove deceptive, for the ground was so heavy and holding that the performances of the respective competitors afforded no criterion of true racing merit. By the way, the report which was circulated respecting the engagement of Fordham to Mr. Howard and others has been contralicted on authority. That clever light-weight is still I believe under articles to Mr. R. Drewitt. The Cutty Quean was made a great fa- vourite for the Two-Year-Old Stakes, but she WAS easily defeated, to the uproariously expressed de light of the "fielders." The Handicap was another triumph for the bookmakers, who struck the keynote of success to some tune with Flageolet. Fisherman ran third ; he seems to me an improving horse, and as the season progresses, Mr. T. Parr is likely to develope to much advantage whatever racing merit he may possess. I have not much to say about the "jumpers." The "doings" were regulated by at least a show of fairplay ; in fact, down to the present time the steeplechase season has not been distinguished by any very flagrant act of dishonesty. Attention has been directed to the fact that the Grand Stand enclosure at Lincoln was ir fested with " Welshers," who pursued their nefarious calling with the most daring impudence. I trust that clerks of the courses will adopt some measures to ex clude !these individuals—all of whom are easily to be detected—from the " Rings" over which they have authority. A pleasant "day out" will be enjoyed at Derby on Tuesday next. The most satisfactory arrangements for conducting the proceedings have been made under the able C. C., Mr. T. Marshall, jun. In order to accom modate Metropolitan turfites, the races have been judi ciously appointed to commence at an hour which will enable intending visitors to reach Derby in good time by the morning express, and to terminate early enough to allow them to reach London by the same night. Six events are set for decision. I shall discuss the probabi lities on Monday. . John Scott has offered two hundred pounds reward for the detection of the person or persons who poisoned Aurifer. That sum will he paid to the person who actually administered the poison if he will furnish the necessary information which will lead to the apprehen sion and conviction of the parties who incited him or procured him to commit the offence, and an application will be made to the Secretary of State to recommend her Majesty to grant him her most gracious pardon. The sensation which the particulars connected with this most atrocious case have created has been profound, and every person seems eager for the detection and ex posure of the miscreants. That the poisoned carrot was intended for Fly-by-Night is evident, and the horse's infirm position in the market is now explained. A meeting of the members of the committees at Tat tersall's and the Subscription Room at Newmarket will take place on Monday to discuss the much-vexed ques tion relative to p. p. betting, and to determine what races shall be play or pay. This is business, and I trust that the gentlemen engaged will discharge their some what difficult task with success. Turfitcs do not wish to read any more stupid suggestions on the subject from Messrs. Robertson, Mardon, and Co. February 16. A FRESH MAN.

Whether the cold and frost have set in with sufficient severity to produce any damaging effect on the Derby meeting is questionable. No rumour of a postponement has yet reached me. Six nominations are appended to the Scarsdale Stakes, and if there be any truth in the Lincoln rnmaingl Amorous Boy, despite his Bibs. extra, ought to prove the best of the lot. Of the seventeen weighted for the Harrington Plate Romeo, Palmerston, and Flageolet are the most noteworthy. The last mentioned has incurred a penalty of slbs. for winning at Lincoln, but the extra weight will not affect her chance. Odiham has been backed for the Steeplechase, and, if "wanted," he will be very near winning. I shall not touch upon the Hurdle Race. "Turf Commission Alen," Tipsters, and others, have commenced their old practice of trading under false colours. " You ma 3 destroy their web of sophistry in vain, The creatures are at their dirty work again." A. Mr. C. Mather impudently informs his "friends" that he has left Russell-street, and requests that his letters may be addressed to his private residence. This indivi dual evidently trusts that he may be mistaken for Mr. George Mather, of Great Russell-street, who is well and honourably known on the turf as a large book maker and owner of horses. Mr. George Mather has publicly announced that he has been unable to ascertain whether there is any such person as Charles Mather in London. A fellow, too, I understand, who calls himself Frederick Smith, at present has cards wherever "George Mather" is printed. Tho purpose for which respectable names are assumed by adventurers is patent, and every case of such attempted imposition on the public shall be nn sparingly exposed by IFebruary 18.

In August last the ship was at The following horses have arrived—Flageolet, Little Pondicherry, a French settlement, and Captain 11. 0. Tom, Cutty Queen, Delilah, Amorous Bay, Freedom, , Legg, who was then commander, had occasion to go on Stamford, Louisa, and Hopeless Star. shore to transact the business of the ship, and clear her. The ground is in good condition. i Capt. Legg was unable to return to the ship that night l in consequence of the heavy surf. Witness, who was then chief mate, turned in at midnight. He turned out again at five o'clock in the morning, and missed the life-boat and two life buoys. He made inquiries, and discovered that the prisoners and three other seamen bad deserted the ship, and gone away in the life-boat in the course of the night. Soon afterwards Capt. Legg returned to the ship, and on opening the cabin door discovered his writing desk broken to pieces, and lying about the floor of the cabin. Two chests had also been broken open, and the ship's papers were torn to pieces and strewed about the floor. The hinges and lock of the writing desk were forced off, and 146 sovereigns, 25 half-sovereigns, and 71. in silver, all in English money, abstracted. The captain also missed a valuable diamond ring, worth about 101. Information of the robbery and desertion was given to the French authorities at Pondicherry, and all the thieves were taken after the ship sailed for England. The depositions taken before the French authorities at Pondicherry and before Mr. Elliot, chief magistrate of Madras, were put in. It appeared that 341. of the stolen money was found on Thompson, who was sent home in the ship Ballarat, which arrived in the Thames on Mon day. Jones, who is a ticket-of-leave convict, arrived in the ship Ballarat at Liverpool on Wednesday, and sin gularly enough, he was immediately identified as one of the most notorious thieves that ever infested that town. Carlisle, a detective officer of Liverpool, handed to Mr. Ingham a list of summary and other convictions against the fellow, whose real name was believed to be Holland. At the request of Mr. Clarkson, the prisoners Ivo* remanded. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS. Additional Fixtures received since our last publication. STAQUOUXDZ. Tues.

The report of the directors of this company states that the revenues of the half-year shows an increase of $1,262/. ; and on the other hand a decrease in the or dinary working expenses of P 4,031/. The gross re ceipts for the half-year ending the 31st of December last amounted to 903,3971., and for the corresponding pe riod of 1854 to 869,135/. The net receipts amounted to 453,296/. for the past half-year, and to 412,9291 for the corresponding period, showing an increase of 40,367/. The total expenditure for the past half-year amounted to 417,981/., including, 55,000/. for renewal of perma nent way; 16,255/. rates and taxes ; and 10,661/. Go vernment duty. The total expenditure for the corre sponding period of 1854 amounted to 455,0141., includ ing 40,000/. for permanent way renewal fund ; 14,405/. rates and taxes ; and 10,4851. Government duty. The increase in the net revenue from traffic has enabled the directors to meet the augmented charge of 16,523/. for interest caused by the rise in the value of money, as well as the, additional provision of 15,000/ for the renewal of the permanent way. The additional expenditure under these two heads amounts to 31,5321. After providing for these and for preferential charges, the balances on the separate re venue accounts will admit of a dividend of 41 per cent. per annum on the Berwick stock, and at the rate of 31 per cent. per annum on the York st ck, leaving balances of 5,377/. and 1,364/. respectively. The available ba lance on the Leeds revenue account amounts to 56,727/. Out of this the directors recommend a dividend at the rate of 6 per cent. per annum on preference quarters and the extensions 1848, Nos. 1,2, and 3, and aft-r laying aside 37,402/. to meet claims for arrears of divid,uu on the above shares, there will remain 10,471/. Ti.ey also recommend a dividend at the rate of 5 per cent per an num on the first issue, and of W I per cent. per annum on the second issue, of the preference fifth shares. This will amount to 2,012/., and leave a balance of 8,4591 , which will be sufficient to provide for the claim for arrears upon the first issue of the preference fifths. The Bedale and Leyburn Railway has been opened for merchandise and mineral traffic, and the directors propose to work that line in terms which have been already agreed upon. The Auckland branch will be ready for opening about the moath of June. Tho direc tors propose the creation of an irreieemable 4 per cent. debenture stock instead of the debentures which the company is now authorised to issue. The sum expended on the joint capital account amounted to 668,426/. ; on the Berwick capital account to 11,223,1971. ; on the York capital account ti 5,876,380/. ; on the Leeds capi tal account to 2,645,226/. ; on the Melton capital ac count to 319,944/, ; and on the Great North of England purchase account to 139,737/. ; making the total 20,902,9001. The revenue account for the half-year shows that 903,397/. hag been received and 450,100/. expended, leaving a balance of 453,2961., of which 258,832/., or 57.1 per cent., is appropriated to the Ber wick Company ; 149,1341., or 32 9 per cent., to the York Company ; and 45,329/., or 10 per cent., to the Leeds Company. EASTERN COUNTIES. There are at present nine candidates for three seats at the board of this company. Two of the seats are va cant, and one is at present filled by Mr. D. Wadding ton, M.P., the chairman, who, at the half-yearly meeting on Friday, the 29th inst., retires by rotation, but is eli gible for re-election. The late committee of investiga tion, it appears, are endeavouring to prevent the re-elec tion of Mr. Waddington, and to secure the election of Mr. T. W. Helps, Mr. R. Orr, Mr. R. Walters, or Mr. C. H. Pulley, a member of the late committee. The section of the shareholders who are in favour of the re election of Mr. WaddinOt n are endeavour ito secure his re-election, and the election of Mr. J. Goodson, and Mr. J. Packe to the vacant seats. The two other candidates are Mr. J. R. Morrison, and Mr. M. Reilly, who, it ap• pears. are not connected with either party, and therefore offer themselves as independent candidates. It is un - derstood that Mr. J. R. Morrison, who has lately re tired from business, and has explained his views with regard to the management of the company as a commer cial undertaking, will be supported by a large number of shareholders. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—Feb. 16. MARYLEBONE.—Mr. John, Woalquart, a German carrying on the business of a tobacconist in the Edge ward.road, was charged before Mr. Long with uttering two counterfeit half-crowns. Robert Burrough, a porter in the service of Mr. F. W. Best, upholsterer, Tottenham-court-roacl,'saic,l th houseat on the previous afternoon he wen t to the prisoner s with a sofa bedstead. After he delivered it, he (witness) received in payment eight half-crowns and twenty-five shillings. Witness looked over the money and found that one of the half-crowns was a counterfeit. He re turned it to the prisoner, who gave him (witness) 2s. 6d. in exchange. On witness's return to his employer, he gave him the mon e y he received from the prisoner. Mr. Best examined the silver, and said, "Here is a bad half erown." Witness immediately told him what had oc curred at the prisoner's shop. Mr. Best stated that in the evening, after his shop was closed, be went to the prisoner's shop in company with a friend. They reached there about half-past nine. They entered the shop and asked for two prime cigars. They tendered a so verei g n to the p risoner, and asked to have all the change in silver. On looking over the money he observed that there was another bad half-crown. He called in a policeman, who Wok the prisoner into cus tody. The prisoner asked the witness if he did not give at first a half.sovereign in change, when he (witness) asked to have the whole change in silver ? Mr. Best replied, in the affirmative, and added that since the prisoner was given in charge the previous night he had ascertained that he had received another bad half crown. He paid a person 2/. the previous night, being the silver that was brought by his porter. That morning a half-crown was brought back, which was evidently a counterfeit. Sankey, 74 D, produced the three half-crowns, and said that he found nearly GOI. in notes, gold, and silver, on the prisoner, who observed that he did not know the half-Browns were bad. The prisoner said that he had not been long in the country, and had not much knowledge about the c irrent coin. The half-crowns had the appearance of being good, and sounded well. Mr. Long remarked that he (prisoner) had passed three bad half-crowns, and that there was s trong reason to suppose he had passed a fourth. The. prisoner was held to bail, himself in 1001 . an d two sureties of 50/. each, to appear again on Thursday next at this court. THAMES.—James Thompson and Thomas /ones, sea• men, were brought before Mr. Ingham, the former on remand, and the other for the first time, charged with robbery and piracy on the high seas. Mr. Clarkson, barrister, and Mr. Lawford, solicitor to the East India Company, conducted the prosecution for that body. Mr. Pelham defended Jones. It appeared from the learned counsel's statement, that the duty of prosecutes ing an the prisoners h twoad been cast men, on the East India Cpy, and that named S :vain and char r ed brought up to this court three weeks since, ,charged with being concerned in the robbery and piracy , and were discharged. because the witnesses for the prosecution had not then arrived in England. Another man was on his way to England, and he intended only to put before the magistrate suffi ,thent evidence to justify a remand. Captain Leyi Brachett said he 'sue the mater of the R.
