MONEY AIA.RKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Business in the general discount market con tinues moderately active, and the rates remain without any material change, 51 per cent. still being the minimum quotation accepted by the Joint Stock and private establishments. The con tracted circulation consequent upon the re venue collections, and the temporary accumu lation of the proceeds at the Bank of England, check the downward tendency of the market, which is also adversely influenced by the provision made for the Indian Loan and the impending ap propriations for the settlement of the claims arising from the fire. The inquiry for loans at the Stock Exchange is actively maintained, and full rates are Paid for the accommodation. A. withdrawal of 103,000 sovereigns was effected at he Bank of England yesterday for exportation to America. The Bombay steamer, which leaves to-morrow, ill take out £91,163, of which £50,123 is on Government account. The Cambrian, which has arrived from the Cape of Good Hope, has only brought £5OO in specie on freight.. In Va c foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon a slight advance occurred in the rates on several of the Continental cities. Increased firmness was apparent in the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and 10,000 bales were sold, of which 4,000 were for exportation and on speculation, at full rates. There has been very little animation in the mar ket for Public Securities to-day, and the variation has been limited ; but the tendency has, neverthe less, exhibited more firmness. Some purchases have been. made for ,the purpose of closing accounts recently entered into for a decline, the operators being desirous of securing their profits. Consols are now quoted at 891 1 for transfer, and 891 2- for ar:count. The New Threes and the Reduced -Annuities are dealt in at 88 1, being firmer. Bank Stock now brings 230 ; the 5 per Cent. India Loan, 981 e ; and the Debentures, 951-, ; Exchequer Bills are 10s. to Bs. dis. for the March issue, and 3 s. dis. to £1 prem. for the June ditto. The Foreign Stock Market has shown rather more activity, and prices have been steadily sup ported. The 6 per Cent. Turkish Loan of 1858 was dealt in at 551 ; Mexican Stock at 221; Russian 5 per Cents, improved to 1021 103 ; and the 41 per Cents, to 911 ; Portuguese Bonds realised 471 ; Belgian 41 per Cents., 98; and Dutch 4 per Cent. Certificates, 99i. In the Railway Share Market business has con tinued very inactive, and for several of the prin cipal lines rather lower rates were established. Eastern Counties, Great Northern, Great Western, Midland, and North Eastern (Berwick) declined 55., w hile Lancashire and Yorkshire, Manchester, Shef field, and Lincoln, and South Eastern improved ss. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings were neglected. Great Luxembourg brought 71 ; Great -Western of Canada, 108 ; and East Indian im proved to 1001. For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there was a moderate inquiry without any material change in prices. Oriental Bank, however, receded to 461. BRITISH FUNDS —CLOSING PRICES. Earik.

PARIS, Monday.—The appeal in the great cause of Paterson v. Bonaparte came on today in the Imperial Court, before Mr. President Devienne and other judges. M. Chaix d'Est Ange, Procureur. Ocireral, assisted by M. Charrial, Advocate-General, appeared as " public ministers," and of course will strain every nerve to maintain the decision of the Court of the First Instance, which declares the Illarriage of Jerome Bonaparte with Miss Paterson invalid. It will be remembered that in the court below the public minister admitted the invalidity of all the arbitrary attempts of Napoleon I. to set aside the marriage, but insisted feebly that the court had no jurisdiction, because the present Emperor's family council —composed of MM. De Morny, Troplong, &c.—had pronounced the mar riage void, although their decision, but a few months old, was based upon the very grounds hich he, the Government advocate, could not in his conscience as a lawyer, speaking in the f ace of men who knew the law, do otherwise than repudiate. The Court of the First Instance, adopting the views of the public minister, pro flounced against the marriage entirely upon the strength of the close fitgee—namely, the judgment of an extraordinary non-judicial, manifestly poli tical, and notoriously dependent and servile tri bunal. The proceedings to-day were commenced by M. terrye r , w h o appeared for the appellants, reading a techni ca l d ocument called " Conclusions,', in Which the grounds of the appeal are set forth. Down to the time when this note of his speech terminates, M. Berryer had not come to his attack upon the special grounds of the judgment of the court below. The case will not be concluded to-day ; but it is thought that the court, contrary to the d which usual (an by the way, very extraordinary) custom, is to adjourn a part-heard cause for a week, will go on to-morrow: IBIS DAY'S SKIPPING.

'Business done EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF INDE CENT CONDUC7 AGAINST AN 31. P. The case against Sir John Shelley, M.P., was re sumed yesterday at Marlborough-street, before Mr. Corrie, who, as by appointment, came especially from Bow-street to preside. The case, as maybe supposed, had excited great public interest, and the court was crowded to suffo cation by gentlemai anxious to hear the re-exami- I ation. Mr. liumphrep, jun., as before, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Garth appeared for tho defence. Maria Harley, he nurse to Mrs. Train, and Ellen Smith, housemaid to Mrs. Stafford were ex amined for the prosecution, but their evidence was totally unfit for ptblication. Mr. Humphrey' said that was the case, and he did not propose }roducing other - witnesses, and asked that the cat, if made out in the judgment of the Court, should '4.0 to trial. Mr. Garth said he did not propose calling wit nesses to character, because he might call half Lon don. The case wes a most extraordinary one, but it had been trumpcd up, and he would produce a letter and show there was a dark mover behind the scene. He confused the only dfficulty he :found was in the evideme of Mrs. Stafford. There was an air of truth about her statement. She must, however, have imagined much. Sir John was colonel of the Middlesex Volunteers. - Wednesday being an excessively hot day, on coming home he threw off his coat and accoutrements, and put on loose drawers, or dressing trowsers, such as were worn in India. lie afterwards redressed himself and went to Brookes's, and at half-past four o'clock to the House of Commons. The witnesses might have seen him in this light guise, and Mrs. Stafford must have been deceived. What madness was it to suppose that he had acted as stated, the street being full of people on the pavement and at the balconies, —that he should have displayed himself before the whole assembled multitude and his own friends in balconies and in carriages ? With regard to Miss Griffiths, she only spoke of it as on one occasion. Now, it was reasonable to suppose that overcome with the heat of the day he went in his light attire to the window, looking after his old regiment, and his bands might by chance have travelled down wards, but with no indelicate object. The last wit ness called that morning had spoken of acts alleged to be committee. months before, as also did the previous one. Sir John was called to answer to one particular offence, and he thought his line of cross-examination showed its necessity: A letter had been sent from Mr. Train to the defendant, addressed, "Dear Sir," and dated June 19th, the day before the affair of the tramways was to be brought before the Commissioners. In that com munication Mr. Train says, " You have a perfect right to oppose my tramway scheme in Parliament, but not to insult my wife and other ladies as you have done. Unless you make me a written apology I:shall give you a publicity you don't like." This he contended was the heed and front of the whole offend ing against Sir John Shelley—the charge being a trumped up one. It was not from a sense of modesty Mrs. Train was not present, for she had made her statement, it appeared, to Mr. Morgan. He did not believe the lady or any respectable woman would place herself in such a position at an opposite win dow so as to see what had been alleged. A number of gentlemen, seeing the case in the papers, had now voluntarily come forward to say they were opposite the house on the Wednesday, and saw Sir John in a light guise, in no respect approaching indecency. He kissed his hand, it is true, but to Sir J. Stirling and his daughter, who passed. The learned gentleman then called Thomas Muttick, in the service of air John Shel ley, aged 16, who said—l remember the Drawing room day. Sir John went out to drill from 11 to half-past 11. It was a very hot day, and I saw him when he came in about 1 o'clock. I got his uniform which he took off. It was wet with persperation, and he complained of the heat and fatigue. I car ried the things away, and he sent me to dinner. I saw him afterwards at his writing-desk, when he gave me letters to post. He sat in the drawing room, with his back to the fireplace. I went again to his room about 20 minutes to 3. I remember I had previously given him letters. He had his dress ing-gown and trousers on as usual—plaid trousers. After luncheon I saw him again, and he was dressed to go out. It might then be 10 minutes to 4. The sitting-room has a piano in it at the left hand cor ner nearest to Piccadilly, between the window and the fireplace. It has been there two seasons I know. The fold of the window has never, to my knowledge, been open on the piano side. There is a sofa across the middle window, with the back towards it ; a table is near it, and it is always in its place. It is not possible to open the window while the table is there. The window opens 18 inches or 2 feet, perhaps. _ By Mr. Humphreys—You must put your foot on the balcony to see across the street. The door of the room was shut, and I opened it ; it is a single door, and I did not knock when I went in. The half of the window nearest Piccadilly cannot be readily opened ; the other half was open on the day I speak of. I let Sir John out when he left, and he went towards Brookes's. I did not notice any brougham. Sir John is a married man; his wife is not with him at 66, St. James- s t r e e t. Lady Shel ley resides in the country. Sir John was in town from Monday till last Saturday, and during Parlia ment is generally in town from Monday till Satur day. The writing produced is Sir John's, decidedly. His dressing-gown is of a light colour. It is that n ow produced, and the trousers he wore are those produced with it. I never saw Sir John kiss his hand to ladies on that day. His bedroom is on the first floor at the back, lie changed his uniform in his bedroom. He changed his dress in his bedroom. I was not present. When, the second time, ab ou t back to the drawing room a he on, the same, I believe, he has on now. q h u a a d r te hisr topl plaid 2, d I trousers B 3 Mr, Garth—Sir John is much engaged during the day. at 66, St. James-street, said l — ar l ia re J m o e h m ns b o e n r , ntssierr Johnva coming in on the Draw ing-room day, and his serva n t bringing his things down. While the servant was away at dinner I took up to Sir John a card which had been left. He was sitting in a chair reading the paper, with his legs on ano th er c h a ir b etween t h e cen t re o f t h e room and the so f a . la m su r d he had on plaid trousers. I went i n t o the room aga i n as th e c l oc k struck 4 and looked out, and he came in presently 7 - after. On turnin g roun d 1 ;aw h i m. Cross-examined-It was ab ou t half-past 1 when I took up the card. The second time I went up was while he was out. I w en t t osee the peop l e an d t h e carriages. Half the window was open. I knocked at the door on going up with the car d . M a tti c k, the servant, was in the roo m w h en I wen t i n t o look out. Another gentleman is lodging in the on e coming to ask who lived in our house No. 66. h o use on the second floor. I don ' t remem b er any M r . Hardback came to ask if there were apartments to let. I know that upon seeing him on my now looking round the court. I don't remember the time. Mr. Ratcliffe, examined—l am Master of Church, Newing ton. I was in St. James's-street on t h e d ay o f t h e The Ar t s Rev. and Lecturer of Trinity Drawing carriages. I was Stafford's). I was there I saw, as I thought, Sir john Shelley at his ep 000ngou at r CA o r r its 2 h. C l 3 minutes, and while there lrsat o i eon the quarter window, at No. 66, but cou ld not di st in ct l y se e Rooms t os looking an fki from No. 18 whether it was Sr John or not. I therefore went lower down, ne ar )" opposite, and he had then withdrawn from the window. I went to the door of the chemist's ' or gliss dealer's shop, between No. 18 and the bank, an( found I could see much better Sir John Shelley 's rooms, and into them. I remained about more thal an hour. I sup pose it was from to a to m half-past 1 quarter 3. I often looked at Sir John's w indowd during the time. The window near Piccadilly was ialf open, as near as I could judge. Had I afterwards been sure it was he I should have gone in. I came here from seeing the report in the Times of tc day—solely on that account. Cross-examined by Mr. _umplar g eys—l had sent to Sir John Shelley a emplimentar) letter merely some time before. I watched the vindowg more or less for an hour. I merely went tosee the Draw ing Room. I knew his rooms very veil and had been there. Had I been sure it was Sir John I should have gone to the house. I was not there to watch the v, indoors, and think it off —ensively put to me. Mr. Humphreys was putting another question, which Mr. Corrie checked as irrelevant. Witness, in continuation, said—The pe.son I saw had on a light-coloured dressing-gown. I could not see his drawers or trousers from the street. I looked at first in a diagonal direction, and, therifore, as I said, moved where I could see in a more direct way. I don't think I am called upon rightly to sty what I think, but simply what I actually saw. I had gone out that day to visit friends. I was there when the Blues passed, but did not see Sir John come out to look at them. I sow no one from the house kiss hands to any ladies. Mrs. Ellen Gibson, 13, North-bank, Regent's park, said—l was in St. James-street the day of the Drawing-room, looking at the carriages. I was op posite No. 66, on the east side. It, was about a quarter to 2. I saw a gentleman at the window once or twice. He wore a dressing gown. I think he had trousers on. I am almost sure he had—it seemed to me as if he had just run out of his dress ing room. I saw nothing whatever particular in . his appearance or manner. I don't know Sir John Shelley. I have come forward from the report in the newspapers. Cross-examined—My husband is a gentleman, and of no occupation; he lives on his property; the gentleman I saw is the same I see here (pointing out the defendant). My husband is not now in England ; he is travelling—not, however, as a tra veller ; he is in China, I think, but I am not sure. The last time I heard from him he was there; if you want to see the letter. I could produce it. Sir W. Stirling, Portman-square—l went to the Queen's Drawing-room on the day in question with my daughter, Mrs. Stapleton. I am well acquainted with Sir John Shelley. My daughter is also very well acquainted with Miss Shelley. It was about a quarter to 2 as I passed. He was apparently sitting at a table a few feet from the window. I don't remember which window. We saluted each other—he frequently. There was a pause as the carriages passed, and it afforded the opportunity. It was just before I got up with my brougham. I cannot say whether he wore a white waistcoat, He had on some light garment. I saw nothing in the slightest degree objectionable in his attire. I be lieve my daughter recognised him, but she did not sit on the same side of the carriage. Mr. Corrie said, if this had been an ordinary case he should have stopped it, but because of its immense importance to the public, as well as to the defendant, he had allowed it to go on. He then recapitulated the evidence, and commented on it as he proceeded, characterising it as incredible that on the Queen's Drawing Atom day, the street full, Sir John should so have ikted. In justice to the witnesses he must say that their evidence had been given very properly, but that it was all. an illusion. A man must have been mad, when police, soldiers, and the public were thickly about, to cam mit such an offence as alleged, and he must say he did not believe it. Sir John, he must say, left the court unstained in character by this case. Sir John, with his friends, among whom were several members of Parliament, then retired from the court, and, as he went to a conveyance waiting for him was received with hurrahs from many hun dred persons waiting the result outside the court, while the witnesses for the prosecution leTt the spot in cabs, assailed by the most tremendous yells and hisses. The case did not terminate till a quarter-past 7 o'clock, having lasted five hours. The scene at the Marlborough-street Police-court, yes terday, was one of such an unusual kind that it deserves a brief notice, Long befot e the hour fixed by Mr. Corrie (two o'clock) for the hearing of the case, a large crowd had assembled round the court, and on the outer doors being opened there was a desperate rush up stairs to gain an en trance into the court on the first floor. This was effected by a large number of persons of more than usual respecta bility, but not without a good deal of personal inconveni ence. The efforts to gain admission were, in most cases strenuous, and in one ludicrous—an energetic individual, with the view probably of taking possession of a standing place, having thrust in his white hat at the end of a stick, through the half open door, but he had soon to withdraw it. The audience portion of the court—a very circumscribed space—having at length become closely packed, many per sons standing on the landing, while an immense number remained contented on the stairs, the case was proceeded with and lasted five hours. At the conclusion of the case, notwithstanding Mr. Corrie's injunctions that no expression of feeling should be shown in court, the audience gave vent to their long-suppressed feelings in a cheer, but it was soon checked. The arrival shortly after of Sir John Shelley at the doorway of the court, on his exit with several friends, was no sooner observed than a scene of the greatest excitement ensued, for by this time about 2,000 persons had assembled in front of the court, and theytet to cheering lustily, the scene reminding one of the return of a favourite candidate at a well-contested election, or the de claration of the poll in Sir John's own city—Westminster. Having shown their feelings on one side, a large number of persons still waited about the court, and, en the prosecut ing parties emerging from the court, they were saluted by loud hissing and groaning, till at length there being no other occasion for any show of approbation or the reverse, the court dispersed. PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEE. BOARD OF ADMIRALTY. The court continued its sitting yesterday—Mr. Tienl4 in the chair. The other members present were— Sir J. Pakington, Sir S. Graham, Sir M. Seymour, Admiral buncombe, Lord C. Paget, Sir F. Baring, Mr. Corrie, Mr. Stansfeld, and Mr. Phillips. Sir Ai Seymour, one of the members of committee, in reply to questions by Admiral Duncombe, said—Of late years I have been employed in her Majesty's service. After serving in the Baltic, I was placed on the India and China station. With respect to the manning of the Baltic fleet, my im pressio❑ was that, considering all the circumstances, the fleet was better manned than might have been expected. A great number of different classes of men are brought together. Amongst the most efficient are the coast-guard. I cannot say of my own knowledge that I recollect Sir C. Napier making any serious complaint respecting the class of men composing the crews. He did not consult me as captain of the fleet previous to his writing home complaining of the crews. When I took the command in the East Indies I did not find any marked superiority in the crews except in the case of individual vessels which had been commissioned for two or three years. With respect to the measures now in existence for procuring seamen, I cannot say that they are not equal to meet an emergency. The best guarantee formanning the fleet rests with the men actually voted, and next to them are the coast-guard. I don't think the numbers of the re serve can be looked to with any certainty ; I be lieve they came on very slowly at first. We have had a great many legislative enactments on the subject, but the misfortune is that they have not been used as they might have been. If the Admi ralty be the authority to carry out the recommen dations, of course the blame rests with them ; but I rather think there are other authorities, and that some portion of the blame rests with the general Go vernment. With regard to the discipline of the Baltic fleet, that was better than I expected or could have anticipated. Since my return home I have ob served an immense increase in the number of courts martial. I think that increase has arisen in some respect from the dislike of captains of ships to corporal punishment. If they can maintain dis cipline by other means I think they are perfectly justified in so doing. But there is one evil con nected with imprisonment, and that is that the sea men are sometimes confined for long periods. I think that an improvement might be made in the police of ships, which consists of the master-at arms and the ship's corporal. That police might be somewhat enlarged by the addition of some men selected from the Royal Marine corps. I was super intendent of Sheerness and Devonport dockyards, and, generally speaking I found them in a satis factory condition. I am not acquainted with the interior of the working of the Board of Admiralty. I think the responsibility should rest on the First Lord, and should not be divided amongst the other lords. After hearing some further evidence of a similar nature, the committee adjourned. THE WALLACE MONUMENT: Yesterday, being the anniversary of the Battle of Bannockburn, the foundation stone of the Wallace Monument was laid upon the Abbey Craig, near Stirling. The monument is to be an imitation of a Scottish baronial tower, 200 feet high and 36 feet square. The site is one which commands a magnificent view of the broad valley in which lies the plain of Bannockburn and the castle rock of Stirling, and those picturesque reaches of the Forth among which Wallace gained his most memorable victory. The procession was mar shalled in the King's-park at Stirling in pre sence of an immense concourse of spectators. At 1 o'clock it started to the craig, which is at a distance of two miles from the town. The appear ance it presented from the summit of the rock, as it slowly approached along the winding road from the narrow streets, was extremely interesting, the gray uniforms of riflemen and the dark blue dresses of the Artillery Corps contrasting with the scarlet uniforms of Engineers and the quaint costumes of Freemasons, Odd Fellows, Free Gardeners, and Sons of St. Crispin. Before different civic bodies were borne a number of interesting relics, including the swords of Wallace, Robert Bruce, and Sir John Graham. Sir Archibald Alison addressed the as semblage. In thanking, in the name of those pre sent, the building committee, he said that no such gathering had mustered near that spot since the day when the army which fought at Bannockburn as sembled under the Abbey Craig. Mr. Sheriff Glassford Bell then thanked the subscribers to the monument. Scotland and England now, he re marked, stand side by side. Their offspring should remember, however, that they sprang of separate mothers, though new " The Percy and the Douglas both together Are confident against the world in arms. The Rev. Dr. Rodgers. the secretary, followed with a vote of congratulation to the Wallace family re presented in the male line at the meeting by General Sir Maxwell Wallace. At a banquet which took place in the Corn Exchange Hall, after " The Memory of Wallace" had been proposed by Sir Archibald Alison, and that of Bruce by Sheriff Bell, Professor Blackie proposed the toast of "Scottish Literature" in . a speech which was received with much applause. Other toasts having been proposed the meeting separated. THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(Tnis DAY.) The SPEAKER , took the chair at a quarter-past twelve o'clock. THE NEW LORD CHANCELLOR. A new writ was ordered to issuo for the borough of Wol verhampton for the election of a burgess in the place of Sir Richard Bethell, who had accepted the office of Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. (Hear, hear.) 1001 100 1 all 2 all 120.6 d SPIRITS. Mr. GRANT DUFF moved for returns showing the rate of duty charged upon home-made spirits in England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively, for each year from ISI4 down to the Ist day of April, 1861 ; the number of gallons distilled in each year during the same period in England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively, dis tinguishing the quantity used for home consumption from the quantity exported or used otherwise; the number of distillers and the number of rectifiers in each year during the same period in England, Sc Aland, and Ireland respec • tively : and of the spirits exported from England, Scotland, and Ireland respectively to foreign ports during the ten years preceding the 31st day of December, 1860, and for the quarter ending the 31st day of March, 1861, and the quantity of spirits so manufactured during the same period, exported from Scotland to England and Ireland respectively and from Ireland to Scotland and England respectively.— The returns were ordered. MASTERS AND OPERATIVES BILL. The adjourned debate on the second reading of this bill, the rejection of which had been moved on a former occasion by Sir G. C. Lewis, was resumed by Mr. AYRTON, who supported the second reading, as he understood it was generally accepted by the working classes. The bill was mainly to remedy the failure of the act of 1824, and proposed to give power to masters and men to settle their own affairs. It had been said that it would not effect that object—that it would not settle strikes. The measure was never intended to do so, but if it would not, it would moat undoubtedly prevent !them, because the courts constituted under it would afford facilities to masters and men to discuss their affairs before they arrived at such a point as to call for " a strike." Mr. G. HARDY thought the bill was a delusive one, and calculated to create false hopes, and therefore he should not vote for its second reading. Mr. SLANEY said it was not supposed the bill would entirely cure, but it would greatly mitigate, the grievance complained of; and he had hoped that a trial would have been given to that brought forward by those who had long laboured for the benefit of the working classes. The bill, he thought, contained very much good, and he thought the best course was to read it a second time, and then in committee endeavour to make such alterations as would meet the objections entertained against the bill. Mr. MACKINNON said he had last session brought forward a measure precisely similar to that under discus sion, which was read a first, second, and third time. and sent up to the House of Lords, and he thought the house would be stultifying itself if it neglected the bill on the present occa sion. It would be, in fact, voting in 1860 that white was white, and in 1861 white was black. As the principle of the bill had been affirmed both by the house and the reports of two select committees, he hoped the right hon. baronet would withdraw his opposition, and allow the bill to go into committee, as it was one ho thought which tended to soften the feelings between masters and operatives, and thus to render strikes less likely to occur. The motion of the Home Secretary was agreed to, and the bill was ordered to be read a second time that day three months. LABOURERS' COTTAGES BILL. The house then went into committee on this bill. Clauses up to 7 were agreed to, with several verbal amendments. Upon clause 8 being proposed, Mr. HENLE Y . said he thought that ample notice ought to be given to every personinterestediu the estate before the proposed improvements were carried out. If tho matter were shuffled over without the knowledge of persons having an interest or reversion, the measure, instead of conferring a benefit, would inflict an injury on the community. Sir G. LEWIS referred to the Drainage Act, and said it provide" adequate means for affording the necessary infor mation to all parties interested. Mr. G. HARDY suggested that the following words be added to tho clause :—" Notice shall be given to mort gagees and other parties interested in such form and mode as the commissioners shall think necessary." The addition was made and the clause, as amended, was agreed to. _ _ Clause 9 was omitted. On clause 10, Mr. HENLEY thought that the power given to remove existing cottages was too extensive, and that it ought to be restricted. Mr. DUTTON and ESTCOURT were in favour of some re strictions being made. Mr. WALTER could not consent to any arrangement which would lead to the tinkering up of old and worn-oul cottages rather than pulling them down altogether. Sir G. GREY said it would be rather an expansive way of "enlarging or otherwise improving cottages" to pull them down altogether. lle was in favour of such an amendment as would enable additions to be made where the buildings were good enough to warrant any outlay on them. After a long discussion the latter part of the clause was struck out, on the understanding that a new clause should be introduced on the bringing up of the report. Clauses 11, 12, 13, and 14 were agreed to atter a few ver bal amendments. On clause 15 being proposed, Mr. HENLEY moved that it be omitted. Sir L. PALK said the omission of the clause would en tirely frustrate the objects of the bill. The clause, after few observations from Mr. ESTCOTJRT, was struck out. Clauses 16 and 17 were struck out. Clause 18 was agreed to. Clause 19, tow hich Mr. HARDY moved some additional words, providing that proper facilities be given to the in habitants, was agmed ta. On clause 20, Mr, HE NLEY moved that £l2O be the highest, and LSO the smallest amounts to be borrowed for the building of any one cottage. _ _ Mr. C. GLIFFITH thought £l5O should be the maximum sum. He was sure £l2O would not be sufficient. Mr. JACKSON said he had lately to erect a number of cottages, and he found £lOO was sufficient. Sir J. TRELKWNY know of an instance in which a very convenient, roomy, and not to say unhandsome cot tage, had been built for £95. A discussion arose upon the latter part of the clause, which provided that the estate must bo shown to be peen. niarily benefited before any cottages were built. Sir L. PALK moved the omission of all the words of the clause after £l2O. Sir G. LEWIS said they had come to what he consi dered the great difficulty of the bill. It had bean shown that building labourers' cottages did not pecuniarily im prove the value of any particular estate. They might be advantageous, as far as the cultivation of it might be con cerned. The gnu :Lion for the house to decide was, whether the powers given by this bill were to be conferred without its being shown that the estate was to be tangibly bene fited by the improrvements being carried out. Ho thought the latter part of the clause ought to stand. The amendment was withdrawn and the clause agreed to. The remaining .elanses were agreed to, and the chair man was ordered to report progress. JERSEY COURTS BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Mr. Sergeant PIGOTT presented a petition from 120 landholders in the island in favour of the bill. Mr. HADFIELD also presented similar petitions. Serjeant PIGOT:T then moved the second reading of the bill, the object, of which was: to improve the admini stration of the law in Jersey. The learned member entered at some length into the manner in which justice was ad ministered in that island, and read several extracts from the report of the commission that had sat upon the subject, which were to the effect that the law as administered' by the Royal Court was most dilatory, and totally be hind the requirements of the place. The bill proposed the appointment of three new judges, the entire abolition of the jurist system, and also that of arresting per sons on any other process than that granted upon affi davit. The reason ho had taken the subject up was because he had been. informed that it was not the intention of the Government to bring in such a bill during the pre sent session. He felt the bill was so urgently required that he trusted the house would read it a second time, notwith standing that some opposition was to be given to such a motion. _ _ . Sir G. LEWIS said he could not support this bill, be cause he did not consider the report of the Royal Commis sioners had been long enough before the inhabitants of the island, to make them familiar with the changes recom mended. It was not from any doubt that Parliament had power to legislate for the Channel isles. (Hear.) The inha bitants of these islands were a loyal people, and he could not consent to make such. great changes as this bill proposed, without it was shown. the greatest necessity existed for such a proceeding. He should therefore move that the bill bo read a second time that day three months. Mr. ROLT said he was not quite so satisfied that this country had the right to le g islate for the island of Jerse y. It was an appanage of the Crown of England as a part of the original dukedom of Normandy, which was retained by the Ring of England when that dukedom reverted from h i m . In fact it stood in the same position towards the Sovereign of England as Hanover once did, and he doubted the jurisdiction of Parliament over that dependency. Mr. BOUVERIE said that at the Revolution the Channel Islands were included in the Act of Settlement, which was surely an exercise of the authority of Parliament. He never theleSS dollbted the adVisajAlitl of legislating here for Woe islands, however distasteful to a large portion ~ o f the inha bitants, who were Englishmen. Mr. WALPOLE said the lion. and learned member be low only expressed a doubt about the right of Parliament to legislate for Jersey, and gave that as a re anon for oh. jetting to the second reading of the bill. Ho 'believed that Parliament had the right to interfere, but it ,ought to do so by address to the Crown. He thought the matter better be left in the hands of the Government. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HADFIELD supported the bill. Mr. S. ESTCOURT thought it might be advisable to give the States of Jersey an opportunity of reforming the administration of the law themselves, but in the event of their not doing so. ho hoped that next year the subject would be taken in hand by Parliament. Mr. Sergeant PIGOTT said after the remarks of the right hon. baronet the Secretary for the Home Depat tment he should not press the second reading of the bill. In the event of the reforms not being made before the next session of Parliament, he should bring the subject forward again when he hoped he should have the support of the house. The order of the day for the second reading of this Lill was withdrawn. VOTES FOR DISQUALIFIED CANDIDATES BILL. Mr. BUTT moved the second reading of this bill, which was to prevent the throwing away of votes given at elec tions for candidates who were disqualified by bribery or any other cause. Mr. COLLINS wished to hear the opinion of some one skilled in electioneering laws before he voted on this bill. He thought the hon. member for Youghal was settling the question the wrong way. Sir G. GREY thought the declaration contained in the bill was in the right direction, and that the bill might safely be read a second time. Mr. HOPE said if the house was anxious to put down bribery it ought to make its exercise as dangerous as possible. Mr. 1). GRIFFITH moved that the debate be adjourned for a fortnight. Sir G. LEWIS said he should give his vote in favour of the second reading of the bill. Sir F. GOLDSMID should support the motion for the adjournment of the debate. Mr. VANCE made a few observations on the bill, bu the hour of adjournment having arrived, he resumed his seat, and the discussion terminated. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND). The house wont into committee on this bill, when:seve ral clauses were agreed to, and the Chairman reported pro gress, on the motion of Sir G. GREY. ATTORNEYS AND SOLICITORS' BILL. This bill passed through committee pro forma. The other orders of the day were disposed of, and the house adjourned. NEWCASTLE RACES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
