Syers and Walker's credi tors has been held to-day, when an offer of 4s. in the pound was submitted. After a long discussion a committee of five gentlemen was appointed to in vestigate the affairs of the firm, and to report thereon. The feeling was in favour of a composi tion, and the acceptance of the above offer is conse quent upon the character of the report of the com mittee. The Funds have been rather firmer, but the Market continues quiet. Consols for money have rallied to 921 and for account to 92i 1.

U NIVERSAL SUFFRAGE IN FRANCE. "Anglo-Norman "in writing to the Morning Advertiser, sa y s The accomplished Jesuit, M. de Mentalembert, ~as bee n muc h pra i se d f or con d emn i ng th e j u d gmen t o f t he Court of Cessation, which has decided, in accordance to the will of Louis Napoleon, that citizens are not to be allow e d to distribute voting cards for any except Govern ent candidates. There miy be very little use in having right of universal suffrage acknowledged if people are not allowed to exorcise it ; but the difference between M. Montalembert and Louis Napoleon is merely this : Louis Napoleon, while pretending to concede universal suffrage as a principle, withholds it in practice ; while M. de M?ntalembert would neither allow it in principle nor practice. He therefore, in fact, agrees with Louis Na poleon where he pretends most to condemn him. Like M. de Montalembert, our oligarchy at home—both Whig and Tory —when out of office, are very prone to condemn others for not doing those things which they themselves would be the last to carry into practice, had they place and power." 2) 2) 5 5 20 10 PO We learn from Spain, that it is expected the recogni tion of Queen Isabella by Russia will be followed by the submission of a great number of Carlist Chiefs. The Duke and Duchess of Brabant the day before Yesterday presented, with a certain degree of pomp, a flag bearing their arms to the Arbalte Society of Brus sels called the Bonne Esperance. The General Screw Steam Company have arranged for the payment of the 2/. per share of returned capital to be made to the proprietors on the 7th of Bray. TH E ART UNION.—The annual meeting of the Council and subscribers was held yesterday at the Haymarket Theatre, the use of which was granted by Mr. Bockstone. The Right Hon. Lord Mont:agle presided on the occa 81°11- Mr. Godwin, one of the honorary secretaries,. read the report, which was most satisfactory ; after Which th e usual drawing for, and distribution of, prizes ook place. About 170,0001. of Australian gold was taken yes terday to the Bank. Of the recent arriva's it is believed about half will be retained here, and that the remainder will be sent to the Bank of France, al though the rate of exchange is still at a point to cause gold coin to be remitted from Paris to London. THE LATE MR. BLAcKETT.—We regret to announce the death of Mr. Blackett, the late member for Newcas tle-on-Tyne. Rather more than a year since Mr. Blackett was attacked with paralysis, and compelled to give up all public business. Retirement producing little or no change for the better, he subsequently resigned his seat in Parliament and remained abroad until his death, which took place last week at Villeneuve-sur-Yonne. Mr. Blackett was only in his 35th year. THE TALBOT DIVORCE CASE,—The arguments in this case commerc , d again on Monday in the House of Lords. The evidence of the petitioner closed on that day, and yes terday the evidence of the opposers of the divorce com menced. The most important witnesses examined were— Dr. Conolly and Dr. Roscoe, who both deposed that it wag a common delusion amongst females to suppose they had been guilty of improper conduct in cases where no such thing could possibly have been the case. Servants were generally supposed to be the persons with whom they bad been guilty. The hearing of the case was fur ther adjourned. TiIE MAINE LIQITOE, LAN REPEALED.—The Lower House of the Maine Legislature, some days ago, passed a new temperance bill, concurring with the Senate by a vote of 78 to 68, after a seemingly careful and deliberate examination of the subject. The bill was strongly op posed by the advocates of the prohibitory principle, which it r_ epudia i . tes,— iymungon. intaligcncer, April 14, MEN nation those morial decla- , haye is the toforo ritimo • pay ee had tt•ms; iatural Inman, )mnity cl witk pose a of the bets of Spain, treaty.

THE ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. 7i - 8 3 - 2ici iii : 5i Wiltsiztlomrst I(4tWee tn. Mr. HAYTER moved that the house at its rising do adjourn till 2 o'clock to-morrow. The SPEAKER, in answer to questions from hon. members, explained that the house adjourned each day till half-past 10 o'clock the following day, and was sup posed to sit there, which enabled committees to sit when the house was up. The object of the motion was to prevent committees sitting to-morrow (Ascension-day) before two o'clock. • e Subsequently the motion was withdrawn, and"the motion of Mr. FITZ ROY, that no committee sit to•mor row, was carried. The house will therefore meet tomorrow at the usual hour. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. HAYTER, a new writ was ordered for the county of Longford, in the room of Mr. R. M. Fox, deceased. DWELLINGS FOR LABOURING CLASSES (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Mr. BRADY opposed it on the ground that the prin ciple of the bill had not been discussed, and he moved that it be committed that day six months. Mr. KENNEDY seconded the motion. Sir W. SOSIEIWILLE, who introduced the bill, supported the motion for going into committee, ano, in doing so, he said that the present dwellings of the Irish poor were a disgrace to a civilised nation. (Hear hear.) He was at a loss to understand why he had met with so much opposition to this bill from Irish members. He had introduced it with a view of improving the dwel lings of the Irish poor, which had been described by a traveller as being in many instances worse than the wigwams of Indians. (Hear, hear.) , Lord BERNARD was in favour of the house going into committee on the bill, which had been intro duced to remedy an acknowledged evil at present existing in Ireland. The architect of the Dublin Exhibition had stated that one-tenth of the houses in Cork were unfit for habitation. Sir D. NORREYS said that the bill was not open to the charge of being an exceptionable measure, because there was a similar one in force in England. This bill was calculated to give great benefit to Ireland. [LEFT SITTING.] Despatch from General Sir W. Codrington (From the Gazette of last Evening.) WAR DEPARTMENT, APRIL 29. Lord Panmure has received a despatch and its en closure, of which the following' are copies, address e d t o his Lordship by General Sir NVm. Codrington, K.C.B. Sebastopol, April 15. My Lord,—l have the honour to transmit herewith, for your Lordship's 'information, the weekly report of Sir John Hall.—l have, &c., W. J. COD - RINGTON, General Commanding, The Lord Panmare, &c. Enclosure. Head-Quarters, Camp, Crimea, April 15. Sir,—Tha sanitary condition of the army continues highly satisfactory, and there has been a decrease in both the mortality and number of sick this 'week. Since the furious snow storm of the 3d instant the wea ther has bees gradually getting milder, and now nothing could be more delightful than it is. This favourable change in the weather has been marked by a decrease of chest affections, and a slight increase of febrile complaints, but none of them of any - great severity, except in the Land Transport Corps, where typhoid fever still preimils, and four oat of the fatal eases of fever which occurred took place in the Land Transport Corps alone. 'Five were from fever ,• Tfro from apoplexy, the direct effects of drunkenness; Five from affections of the lungs ; Two from chronic bowel complaints ; One, a sudden death, from th,3 bursting an aneurism of the aorta ; and One from ',he results of an injury of the head received in a drunken brawl six weeks ago. So that only twelve out of the sixteen are fairly attri butable to disease. The ratio of admissions to strength this week has been I'Bl per cent. ; deaths, to strength, 0.02 ditto ; sick, to well, 3'87 ditto. Taking the whole force, the admissions to strength in all the hospitals, both general and regimental, have only been per cent. Deaths, to strength, 0.03 per cent. sick, to well, 5.34 ditto.—l have, & c .. J. HALL, Inspector-General of Hospitals. Gen. Sir Wm. J. Codrington, K.C.8 ., Commanding-in-Chief. MARKET ATE ;BPS.--(This Day.) CORN EXCFIANGE. The supply of English wheat in to-day's market was very moderate. For all kinds we had a steady demand, and Monday's prices were fully supported. The business doing, however, was limited. There was a fair inquiry for foreign wheat, the supply of which was good, at very full prices. Floating cargoes of grain were held for more money. Barley and malt changed hands freely, and late rates were well supported. There was a fair demand for oats, at full quotations. Beans and peas were inactive ; but flour was firm, and quite as dear as on Monday. •RRIVALS TIIIB wsaa. wheat. Barley.

BANKING DISCLOSURES.—Sorae more banking dis closures, perfectly harmonious in their degree with those of Strahan, Paul, and Co., the Aberdeen Bank, the Tipperary Joint-Stock Bank, the Westminster Im provement Commission, and the other cases of the kind by which the past two years have been distinguished, have just been furnished during an examination in the Birmingham Bankruptcy Court of the surviving partner of the Lichfield Bank, which suspended at the com mencement of the present year. The establishment was in the name of Messrs. Palmer and Greene, and it enjoyed the privilege of issuing notes to the amount of 22,786/. Mr. Palmer died in 1850, and the Bank had since been conducted by Mr. Greene. In his examination Mr. Greene admitted that the firm had been carried on with a gradually increasin g deficit for about 30 years. His partner, Mr. Palmer, at his death owed the concern 45,7871., and an estimate of its position at that time showed a deficiency of ' 62,5701. Nevertheless the business was, kept up as usual, and would not have been disturbed at last but for the discretion of Messrs. Smith, Payne. and Smiths, who refused to make advances. From 1850 to the 31st of December, 1855, Mr. Greene maintained his personal expenditure at the rate of 2,6501. a year—an attempted reduction having been discontinued lest it should excite suspicion, and thus put a stop to the power of expendi ture altogether. Here was a deliberate system of living on property held in trust ; yet the law provides no penalty for it. In the same way, the parties to the delinquen cies of John Sadleir in the Tipperary Bank are likely to avoid all inconvenience. In the case of the Westminster Improvement Commis-ion and the Aberdeen Bank the creditors are openly defied, and the same system pre vails in a multitude of minor instances that daily occur. Under these circumstances the conclusion must be, either that Sir John Paul was a martyr, or that the scope of the criminal law should be greatly extended.

Lord Lucan, who was present, out of regimentals, asked to be allowed to explain what occurred with re• ference to the application for horseß, which was at variance with what he (Lord Lucan) believed to be the case. The Court assented. Lard Lucan then entered into a statement of how he acted with reference to such applications, and denied that he was applied to by Mr. Cruickshank to supp'y horses, except on two occasions, which related to Inker man, and as be had on a previous occasion stated his objections to these horses, he requested the orde.• should he given in writing. Mr. Cruickshank persisted in the truth of his state ment, and that, in consequence of his applications to Lord Lucan, his lordship saw Lord Raglan on it. The refusal of the horses was a subject cf conversation throughout the camp. Lord Cardigan said he had no recollection of having suggested to Mr. Cruikshank to apply to Lard Lucan. If he bad done so there wolld not have been anything extraordinary i,i it. It was the duty of the divisional commander, and not the Brigadier-General to provide the transport animals that might be required. A long discussion ensued between Lord Lucan and Mr. Cruickshank relative to this pint, each persisting he was right. The Court adjourned at two o'clock, and on the re• assembling. of the Board, Col. Tulloch proceeded to make some remarks en Lord C irdigan's statement, but before doing so, The Judge Advocate-General inquired of Lord Car digan if he would have thought himself justified in de taching any portion of the forces under his command for any particular duties without the consent of the Lieu tenant-General commanding the division I Lord Cardigan—Certainly not. General Scarlett was then called, and, in answer to que , tions from the Judge-Advocate-General, said that the foraging parties rent from the heavy brigade into &Oakley:l, were very much delayed I y the want of boats and the general obstructions in the harbour in the landing of barley. Sometimes the men were occupied four or five hours in loading, and he was obliged in con sequence to call upon his officers for returns of the time the men were so occupied. The men sent down had sometimes to assist in unloading the barley from the ships from the want of sailors. He was not certain if the horses had ever returned without forage, but he thought they had. The light brigade was situated two and a half miles and the heavy brigade 3A miles at the time he alluded to from Balaklava. Col. Doherty was also called, and said that a fortnight after the 12th of November the horses were in bad con dition, having, on an average, only about 2 lbs. of bar ley per day. He made no application to be allo wed to send to Balaklava fir forage, and his reason for not applying was because he heard from other commanding officers that their applications had been refused. At first it would have been practicable to have sent the horses to Balaklava (the 7th or Bth of No vember), but not afterwards. He might have applied if he bad not heard that others had been refused, but he did not think of it at the time. Ho never heard that it was possible forage could have been had at Balaklava if the hones were sent for it. He knew the horses were in a bad state, but he did not know if there was any forage for them at Balaklava, not having been there. The horses after the 14th were too weak to perform the journey to Balaklava. If there was no forage for the horses, the alternative of course was that they died. The only way in which forage could be obtained was by its being sent to the cavalry, or the latter fetching it. Part of the month of November he was sick in his tent, and was unable to attend to duty. The Commissioners inquired of him many things, and he gave them answers according to the best of his recollection. Sir Richard Airey was examined on some details con• nected with the position of the troops in the Crimea, &e., and Colonel Tulloch haling been heard in support of that portion of his report to which Lord Cardigan took ex ception, The Court adjourned. The amount of gold brought by the Asia from New York is 91,0001., but it is understood to have been chi, fly consit:ned on F re nch account.
