11 10NEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The dealings in the Foreign and Colonial Pro duce Markets have been of a more active character during the last few days. Sugars have been dealt in to some extent chiefly for home consumption, and prices have tended upwards for good and fine grocery qualities. For coffee the demand has been active for the season, and full prices have been readily obtained for good and fine descriptions. Tea, however, has been inactive, owing to the large quantity announced for public sale during the next few days. In rice the operations have been to a fair averag e extent, and fully late prices have been sustained In spices and fruit the dealings have been limited, and no business of importance has been re corded in saltpetre. The tallow market has con tinued dull, the chief transactions entered into b aying been for forward delivery at barely former quotations. There was an increased demand for cotton in the Liverpool Market yesterday, and prices tended ' u pwards. The sales amounted to 25,000 bales. A small a moun t o f go ld, viz., £B,OOO, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday.

A further slight improvement has taken place in the English Stock Market to-day owing to con tinued purchases and the abundance of money. Consols are 891 90 for transfer, and 90 901 for the account.

Roberts, lately occupying apart ments in Northumberland-street, Strand, was resumed this morning in the board-room of Charing .cross Hospital be fore Mr. St. Clair Bedford, the coroner for the city of West minster. Mr. Humphreys attended on the part of Major Murray, and Mr. Sleigh for the family of the late Mr. Roberts. Police-constable 155 F said—l was on duty near Northumberland-street, on the 12th inst., about noon. Passing through Craven-court I met Major Murray, ac companied by Mr. Ramsey. As soon as he saw me he said, *‘ Go round to 16, Northumberland-street, to a man who has shot me in the neck. He's in the first floor." I went there and proceeded upstairs, and tried to open the doors of the rooms ; as I could not 1 tried to force them open, but did not succeed. I then went down stairs and called for a ladder, and one was brought. I placed it against the back window of the first floor, and entered the room by that means. I found the place in great confusion, and a great quantity of blood beneath the window which I had entered. I then tried to open the back room door. I tried for some time, and did not succeed. After twisting the large handle of the lock round and round the door seemed to open of itself. I observed after that there was a small nut or screw on the lock, but I cannot say whether that would make the lock on the door secure. On letting the police in I went into the room and found Mr. Roberts in a corner in the front room. I took hold of him, and he raised himself up and got hold of the handle of the door. I sent for a cab. While it was gone for Roberts said to " Let me sit down and die." I did not hear him say anything else. When I got him to the hospital I searched his clothes and found some Crystal Palace cards, one address card, marked " John Frazer Walker, solicitor, 16, Northumberland-street," half a return ticket, S.W. Railway, first .class, Richmond to London, fourpercus sion caps, and two penny pieces. That was all the money found in his pockets. Three rings were on his fingers and one in his pocket. The Coroner—Only twopence in his pockets, Was that all? Witness—Yes, sir. By Mr. Sleigh—l did not put any questions to Roberts. All I heard him say is what I have stated. By Mr. Humphreys—l am quite sure the back room door was fastened inside: It was not locked. The key was in the door outside ; I tried to turn it, but could not. Police-constable Langley, 100 A—l went to 16, North umberland-street, on the 12th. I saw Golding talking to Mr. Roberts, jun. He said somebody has been shot, and he is trying to get out of the window. I asked him who was in the front room, and he replied, " I think it's my father." I entered the place and saw white smoke about the room. There was also a strong smell of gunpowder. I saw on the table in the centre of the room the brace of pis tols I produce. Both hammers were down, and the secret triggers were out. On one was an exploded cap. Both ap peared to have been recently discharged. I saw the deceased in the front room in the position described. He was lifted up and placed in an armchair. A cab was sent for and he was taken to the hospital. I saw two other large pistols lying on the ground by the window in the back room. I examined them, and they did "not appear to have been dis charged for some time. I did not examine them as to whether they were loaded. I don't know they are not loaded at the present time. The room was all in confusion. Inspector Mackenzie, of the F division of police, said — On Friday, the 12th inst., I went to Northumberland-street, about 12 o'clock at noon. I went to the first floor, lately occupied by Mr. Roberts. On entering the back room I found it in great confusion. I proceeded to make a minute search of the place, and under the window there were large ools of blood. Everything about was saturated with it. On searching the corner I found t \to portions of a pair of tongs. I also found another portion of the same, article lying on a table. Near the spot I found two broken bottles one quite whole covered with blood. I also found a pistol case on the floor. Close to it I picked up 23 leaden bullets, some of which were covered with blood. The bullets fit both pairs of pistols. I proceeded with my search, and under the table I found the case belonging to the small pair of pistols. Blood is on both pistol cases. I also found a powder canister containing powder, and near the same spot I found an old-fashioned six-chember revolver pistol. It was in the woollen bag I now prodt,ce. The large pistols were do a table near which Mr. Roberts usually sat. One of the large pistols I found loaded with ball. I drew the charge. The charge was well home. There was a cap on the other pistol, but it did not appear as if it had been fired for some days. On the mantelpiece I found the percussion cap. case. The caps fit the nipples of both pairs of pistols. I found the secretoire drawers had been pulled out, but nothing appeared to have been disturbed. They contained prin eipally law forms. I examined the mantelpiece and found there were bullet marks about it. On the shelf I found eight flattened bullets, which evidently had been fired from the pistols. There were three bullet holes in the wall. The prints hanging up close to the mindow were found sprinkled with blood. One of the squares of glass in the window was completely covered with small spots of blood. I saw there were marks of blood on the doors. The outer door of the front room was locked. It remains so at present. Near the folding door I found a pillow covered with blood. There were some beer bottles and small por tions of bread lying about the room. All the things in the place were very dusty. On returning to the back room I saw a quantity of blood on the carpet and hearth-rug. After I had further examined the room I went to the hospital and saw both Major Murray and ),Ir. Roberts there. I then returned to Northumberland-street and further prosecuted my examination. I fcrand marks of blood on the water pipe near the back rcom window, and some scratches under the outside of the windowas from the the toe of a boot. I have examined the whole of the papers, and I do not find any correspondence between Mt. Roberts and Major Murray. While I was searching the front room young Mr. Roberts took another pistol, which I pro duce, from a cabinet in the front room. On the 19th I was again searching the front room, when I found the rasor I produce, covered with blood, in a small oak cabinet near the window. I also found in a basket, with some other linen, three shirts, a handkerchief, and a towel spotted with blood. Coroner—ls there any mark on the linen? Inspector M'Kenzie--None. ftra The witness proceeded—l also found a she et of w hite blotting paper with bl oo d on it. On holding it up to the light I disc overe d a di rec ti on. It was "Mrs. Murray, En i Lodge, Talb o t ioa d, T ottenham.

Humphreys —Such remarks as you have just made not addressing you, Sir. ougihrtjinoutmtPoilbreqms—adie.Wals say again, it is just as likely to I be the hair of Mr. Roberts as Major Murray. Mr. M'Kenzie then proceeded to relate a conversation he bad had with Major Murray, in the hospital, as to his con nection with Mr. Roberts. The statement was precisely the same as that given in evidence yesterday by the wit evening, about half-past seven, I was again in wit ness Ramsey. The witness then proceeded—On seeing hi m if he knew me, and he said, Mr. Roberts, after his arrival at the hospital, I asked him how it was done, and he replied " Murray did it." I said ve ry g w ot e l l t l h , saeidto,ngs, i, How ?" and be replied, "My head is too bad now." On you are Mr. Mac- the following the hospital. He was sensible. I went and sat down by kenzie."

I said, " Tell me more particularly, did you know Murray before ?" He replied, " I have seen him before, but never speke to him." I asked if he met him by accident or appointment. He said, " By accident, in II Major Murray shot an d attacked m e w i th the tongs hl ray iikme o sae f il himself e e iiawnointthh,e neck, andrae a w bo it u h t a a g loan.lass bottle," t a l e t . , , I asked him the amount of the loan, and he said, " 5-0 ,000. " I asked if he w wished d o , to I , vmakee nothing a deposition more to y.” before a a magistrate, and he said, I did not speak to him after, although I saw him ever y day until his death , s When Major Murray was telling me about the conversa • tion, I told him the name of the person he had spoken of was Roberts, not Grey.

The spots of blo od on the window in the back room were considerably higher than a man ' s h ea d. Th e . drawer in which I found the razor was closed, and there . were no marks of blood either on the things inside or mit t side of it. I found that a woman lived at Elm Lodge call -1 ing herself Mrs. Murray. Her name is Anne Maria . Murray. 7 Mr. Humphreys—l beg to say I shall tender that lady's evidence. Witness—l found this was the residence of Major Mur ray. The name of Roberts is on the door of No. 16, Nor thumberland-street. There is no name of Grey or anything like it painted on the door. I distinctly heard Major Murray say repeatedly that he had: never before been in the house No. 16, Noith - Imberland-street. By Mr. Humphreys—The last encounter, according to Major Murray was near the folding doors—partly in one room and partly in another. The legs of Roberts were in the back room and the body in the front. Murray said he took up the legs and turned them into the front room. Mr. Sleigh objected to the mode of cross-examination. Mr. Humphreys thought he was being unnecessarily in terrupted. Mr. Roberts again made some observation, when Mr. Humphreys said if such interruptions were continued it would be the duty of the Coroner to order the person so interrupting out of the room. Mr. Roberts thought such remarks quite uncalled for. After some further conversation, the cross-examination proceed ed—l cannot say whether Roberts walked or crawled from one spot to the other. There is no indication of his having been dragged there. in the back room there is a small chair with blood on the seat, but I cannot say whether it would be so if a man had been shot while sitting there. To get to the secretoire which has been referred to the natural course would be round the back of the person sitting on the left hand of the fire place ; to go in any other way the per son sitting would have to be removed. The hair I found under the window appears to be that of a person's whisker rather than hair from the head. It is the colour of Major Murray's hair. Altogether I found six pistols—two pairs, a revolver, and a pocket pistol. The shirt with the blood upon it was found upon the linen basket. The towel was found on the drugget or carpet. The name of "Walker" on the blotting paper appears to be in the hand writing of Roberts. I found several documents in Robeits rooms relative to army agency with the names of Stoqueler and Eicke on them. I don't know who Nicholson is, or who Roberts, Nicholson, and Co. are.',/ Mr. Humphreys—Have you tested by all means in your power in your official capacity as to the truth of Major Murray's statement ? Mr. Sleigh objected to the question, and it was not put. Coroner—Have you any evidence to corroborate Majori Murray's statement Inspector Mackenzie—None but what has been given. )11r. Eliza Tyler, the sister of the ward in which Mr. Roberts died, deposed that while attending him he appeared more inclined to speak to her than any one else. On Saturday night, the 18th, she asked''Mr. Roberts who had beaten him so ' • he replied Murray did it. She then asked him who shot Major Murray ;*he replied, he (Murray) shot himself first, and beat him afterwards, and said he had beaten him with tho tongs and poker ; he never said any thing about his going to die. Witness asked Mr. Roberts if he knew Major Murray; his reply was, that he had seen him before but never spoke to him. She asked him where he reet Major Murray; he replied, "In Hungerford market." She then asked him who spoke first; ne replied, he spoke first; and on witness asking him why, he said that he thought Major Murray belonged to the Grosvenor Hotel Company, and thought his company wanted money. By Mr. Humphreys—He did not at any time say that he had known Major Murray before ; what he said was, " 1 have seen him before, but never spoke to him." Mr. Wm. Roberts, the son of the deceased, recalled—l have been in the habit of acting far my father. Ho had no associate or partner. I used to sit in the room of No. 17. Mr. Superintendent Durkin explained that there was a communication from the staircase of No. 16 into 17 ; there was no communication from Mr. Roberts's rooms to No. 17, except through the landing. Mr. Wm. Roberts continued—l transacted the business in No. 17, and frequently went into my father's room in No. 16. Was there on Thursday week last. The back room was generally clean and orderly. Was rot in the habit of going into the front room, but was there about a week ago ; it was then in order. My father used to dust his room himself. He last saw a woman acting as a laun dress cleaning the room about a week before. The witness here identified the whole of the pistols pro (lured as belonging to his father, except the revolver, which he had never seen before. On Wednesday week last he fired the small pistol at the mantel-piece in the back room, that was the only time he did so. By the Coroner—l have seen my father on two distinct occasions fire pistols at the fire place, but did not know whether he was in the habit of doing so. I identify the handwriting on the blotting paper, "Mrs. Murray, Elm Lodge, Tott onham, as those of my father. The impress of the other writing on the blotting paper is that of my father. The two letters produced are also in his handwriting. I knew Major Murray by sight. In March last I was walk ing with my father in the Strand, when he said, " that is Major Murray. Saw him about a month afterwards on the landing leading to his father's office. He did not speak to him ; it was about three or four o'clock in the afternoon ; it was in the month of April, but he could not say what day. He going to the bankers—the London and Westminster P,ank, to change a cheque; it was my father's cheque, My father was at home when I saw Major Murray on the landing, I have often heard my father say he had been out with Major Murray all day at the Grosve nor Hotel. I have never written to Major Murray, but I have seen two letters written by my father to Major Mur ray, which I have posted. I don't know any person that had any communication with my father and Major Murray. I have seen letters from Mrs. Murray to my father. He has told me that they were from Mrs. Murray. I do not know whether he had any business transactions with Mrs. Murray. She used to call at the office often. By Mr. Sleigh—When I saw Major Murray on the land ing he was going towards my father's office ; es I was going down stairs I heard Major Murray knock at the door. I had to go into the City, and did not return to the office that day. When I and my father met Major Murray in the Strand we were going towards the Temple. Major Murray was coming towards Charing-cross. First heard Major Murray's name mentioned about the beginning of this year. I have seen Major Murray in the hospital ; he is the same person I saw in the Strand and on the landing. I have frequently posted letters to Mrs. Murray. I have known the pistols produced about two years; my father had told me he had them eight years. My father was not an irascible man, but rather quiet. The bottles produced used to stand on a shelf within reach. I have seen Mrs. Murray call at the office as long back as October. She used to call about twice a week, and she generally came in the afternoon. I have left the chambers when Mrs. Murray has been with my father; last saw her there about a fortnight or three weeks since. By Mr. Humphreys—l am 18 years of age, and have been in the business with my father about two years. First saw Mrs. Murray at my father's about 12 months ago. When Mrs. Murray has been theee, never went to cash a cheque. It was in March when I met Major Murray iu the Strand. I was then going with my father to issue a writ. It was about the middle, and it was about a month after that I net Major Murray on the landing. Was certain that no one else was there to see Major Murray but myself. The writ we were going to issue was against Mr. Charles Routledge. Was certain it was in the month of March. It was on the right hand side of the Strand, near Water , - 100-bridge, we met Major Murray. Did not observe any recodnition between him and my father. I posted two letters to Major Murray, but do not recollect the address of either. I think it was in March when I said one was directep to Pimlico ; I meant one of the letters to Mrs. Murray. I have only shot off the two pistols once. I heard my father say he never saw Major Murray before in all his life, and yet I swear that it w a s M a j or M ur ray I saw on the landing. I recollect my father and mother being at a fete at the Crystal Palace. When they met Mrs. Murray my father introduced her to my mother. I have heard they also met her at the Surrey Hall, when Mr. Spurgeon was preaching there. I did not know whether my father had been in the habit of lending Mrs. Murray money. Mrs. Murray was in the habit of calling on my father two or three times a week, but sometimes not at all. By Mr. Sleigh, through the Coroner—l have often heard my father speak to my mother about Major Murray and Mrs. Murray. By Mr. Humphreys-1 never heard my mother say she had ever seen Major Murray before the 12th of this month. A very lengthened disrussion here took place as to an adjournment, Dr. Canton stating that it would be unad visable to examine Major Murray to-day. He would be much better after a night's rest. It was ultimately deter mined to go on for another hour, and then adjourn to Thursday. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS.—(Tnis EVENING.) Tile LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. Thl Earl of Egremont's Estate Bill, the Stourbridge Railway (extension to Smethwiek, &c.) Bill, and the Swan sea and Meath Railway Bill were read a third time and passed. 211 E REPRE SBA rATION OF TILE CITY OF LONDON. MEETING IN THE GUILDHALL.—(THIS DAY.) A very large meeting of the electors of the City of Lon don was held this day, in the Guildhall, for the purpose of meeting Lord John Russell, and hearing from his lord ship a farewell address on his retiring from the repre sentation of the City of London in the Commons House of Parliament. The platform was filled by leading men of the City, and altogether much excitement prevailed. His lordship passed through the hall on his way to the Chamberlain's room at 10 minutes to two, and was very cordially received. Lady Russell and the family of the noble lord occupied a gallery in the ancient building. On Lord Joux Rue SELL making his appearance in front of the platform he was received with the most enthusiastic cheering and waving of hats. Silence having been in some measure restored, Sir JAMES DIME came forward and said they had met that day to hear from Lord John Russell a farewell address from him on his retirement from the representation of the City of London, which he had held for the last twenty years, with great honour to himself and the City of Lon don. He proposed that Mr. Thomson Hankey preside on the occasion. The motion having been agreed to, Tnomsoer HANKEY, Esq., explained the object of the meeting, which was to take farewell of the noble lord as a representative of the City of London. The noble lord had for many years been the ardent champion of every good measure, and it was with mingled feelings of pleasure and regret that they met the noble lord that day. The latter was occasioned by the severance of a tie that had existed for twenty years between the City of London and the noble lord, and the pleasure was produced by the honour that WELS to be conferred on one who had achieved so much for the benefit of mankind in general. He trusted that when the noble lord quitted that hall the meeting would give him such a cheer as would remain ixed in his memory while life lasted. (Cheers.) He had every confidence in the electors of the City, and as the noble lord had done his duty he trusted that the citizens of London would not for get theirs. (Cheers.) He had great pleasure, therefore, in giving place to the noble lord. Lord JOHN RUSSELL then came forward, and was received with vociferous cheering and waiving of hats. The noble lord said, where he had so often had the honour of addressing the citizens of London upon many impending struggles, he now came to return thanks for the twenty years unvarying ;support he had received at their hands during which time he had had the honour to repre sent the City in the Commons House of Parliament. (Cheers.) He should have been only too glad had he had the strength to continue to discharge the duties of that high and honourable position ; but, after sustaining it to the best of his ability for twenty years, during the' forty-seven years he had spent in the, House of Commons amid all its anxieties and excitement, it appeared to him that the time had come he could no longer, consistently with his views of the great responsibility of the trust, continue the honour of representing that great and important city in Parliament. Her Majesty, on his repre senting to her his wish to retire from the representation of London, had thought fit to signify her gracious inten tion to elevate him to the peerage. (Loud cheers.) He felt deeply the honour that was to be conferred, but he also felt dreadfully the moment that would come when he should have to bid adieu to those who for twenty years had generally supported him through good report and through evil report. (Cheers.) He thought he should have hardly been acting fair had he not come to that hall on such an occasion to take a retrospect of those twenty years, and see whether they had been usefully employed. When he first made his ap pearance amongst them it was at the beginning of the great struggle between free trade and protection, and on the part of free trade you gave me your support. It was true that, on the question being brought to an issue, they were de feated as a party ; but then the principle was triumphant. But eventually the great question was triumphant— (cheers) ; and since then sugar and other articles of colonial produce had been cheapened, the timber duties had been equalised, and many other equally important questions had been victoriously carried. (Cheers.) Then another topic of congratulation was that the great work of civil and reli - gious liberty had been completed. That had to be accom plished by hard and severe 'struggles, as it was not until many years after the contest had began that his hon. friend and colleague Baron Rothschild was enabled to take his seat in the midst of the Commons of England as one of the representatives of the City of London. He: and he was proud to say many others, thought a man's re ligion should not be an objection against him, as religion was a principle which was peculiarly God's province. (Cheers.) While many great and good measures have been accomplished, there were others that still remained to be: worked out, and amongst them was the representation of the people. (Cheers.) On that subject he brought in a bill last year, which was considered as a dangerous innovation, because by it he extended the fran chise to all householders who paid £6 per annum to the rates. (Cheers.) The bill was met with great objection, but he looked upon the proposition as most moderate, and one not the least calculated to alarm the lovers of the Constitution. He did not anticipate any serious danger by admitting such householders as he proposed to the privi leges of the elective franchise, because he felt certain that a class more loyal to the Crown or attached to the Consti tution could not be found. (Loud cheers.) The reason of the difference that existed between the present and the past times, when reform was undertaken, was that in years gone by the most flagrant abuses existed, such as made every one indignant and produced universal discontent. When the measure, sweep ing away and dis franchising 150 nomination boroughs, and giving in place votes to such places as Manchester, Birmingham, and Leeds, was proposed by Earl Grey, the enthusiasm of the people was so great that the bill became law, because there was no force in the House of Commons to oppose it. the h e subject people be must show a Ministershowaetro eongaunldd comeunm rwistfaokabalred with anyfeelingon prospect of success. (Cheers.) He retained, and should ever continue to do so, the firm trust he had ever place in the people ; and when any m easure for enlarn believeded tlheca-t tive franchise was propose d and carried, everything would be respected which deserve hed the representation of the peop le. (Cheers.) There was another measure which still re q uired the sanction respect in of Parliament and thepopular voice, and that was a measure for the improvement of the bankruptcy law, and he had had the great satisfaction of giving his vote in favour of the measure, which received from the bankers, merchants, and traders the most unequivocal support. While he re turned them his most grateful thanks for the triumphant manner in which they had sustained him, he could not but remember the painful part of his task, and that was the parting from them. He felt something like that great emperor who, three centuries ago, was anxious to know what posterity would say of him, and therefore had his obsequies performed with great pomp and:splendour, him - self, however, acting as chief mourner. (Laughter.) He must say he felt something like that chief mourner on the present occasion. (Loud cheers.) He did not, however, so deeply grieve, because he trusted he could still be useful to his country, though in another sphere, and he trusted that nothing would disturb the progress that had been so grandly achieved. One of the old poets says — To have done, is to hang quite out of fashion, To be a rusty nail in monumental mockery. That was not his intention. (Loud cheers.) There was much to be done, and he did hope to be enabled to take part in these actions. When he recollected the names of Canning, of Cobden, of Bright, and others, he remembered that though they dif fered in politics, they all worked for one great end. Some professed civil liberty, others raised a trophy of free trade, and carried it throughout the length and breadth of the land, others sought to improve the representation of the people, yet why should there be any intolerance on the subject? Why should not they all co •operate, and do battle as one united whole ? All would receive a lesson by imitating an institution that had just sprung up, he meant the Volunteers. (Cheers.) One, it was true, wanted to march a little faster, another a little slower, but they had been told, and they had profited by the advice, that unless they marched in line they would be useless for all defensive operations. So it would be with reformers. Some wanted to walk fast, others to pick out their way through the strongest opposition; but let all act with discipline, and the contest would be over, because they could not but march from triumph to triumph. (Loud cheers.) He had finally to thank all present for the support that had been given to him for so many years. He should continue to watch with the greatest interest the City of Lon don, He should! expect: the electors to main tain the same principles that built up the great fabric of the constitution, and destroyed the shade* of restriction. (Cheers.) He should expect them to defend that free dom they had secured by every means in their power. [A man in the body of the hall shouted out, " Three cheers for Wood," but the invitation was not re • sponded to.] He felt deeply grateful for the kindness he had always received, because it had placed him in a posi tion of saying, I had the honour of being one of the represen tatives of the City of London in Parliament. That thought had on many occasions given strength to his voice and power to his arm, and to the last day of life he should re main thankful for their benefits, and grateful for their support. The noble lord then retired amidst the most deafening cheers. A loud cry then arose for " The Lord Mayor," and " Wood, Wood." Mr. Wood stood forward and having addressed a few words to the assembly, The proceedings7terminated, THE PAROCHIAL AND BOROUGH SCHOOLS BILL. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from. the Uni versity of Edinburgh, setting forth that a bill with this title had recently been introduced into the House of Com mons. With the bill, as a whole, they cordially approved, but they deprecated any clause of a sectarian tendency, and prayed that when the bill came into their lordships' hands they would alter it in this sense. ANNOYANCE JURORS (WESTMINSTER) BILL. Their lordships went into committee on this bill. Lord LLANOVER proposed certain amendments, which Lord CHELMSFORD opposed. He defended the constitution of the Court of Perquisites, and strongly objected to the abolition of tis court, as propcsed by Lord Llanover. The only argument as it seemed to him, which his noble friend urged against the court was that it was a self-elected body. What force had that argument when the self-elected body, as in the present case, proved itself fully able to perform its functions. Earl POWIS supported Lord Llanover's amendment The question was whether there should be a professional or a non-professional judge. Viscount DUNGANNON thought the police magistrates had already enough work on their hands. There was no reason for taking out of the hands of the burgesses a duty that they had always performed well. He should vote against the amendment proposed by the noble lord. After a few remarks in reply from Lord LLANOVER, the amendments were negatived without a division. VOTERS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was read a second time, and the house was (LEFT STTTLVG.) HOUSE OF COM MONS.—(THis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. THE WAR IN NEW ZEALAND. Lord A. CHURCHILL asked the tinder Secretary for the Colonies what was the nature of the last despatches re ceived from New Zealand. Mr. FORTESCUE said the news was of a very hopeful character; the Governor of the colony reported that he was her negociating with those who had taken up arms against Majesty, and that he was in hopos that the result would be satisfactory. INLAND REVENUE BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, clause 7 was struck out, and 8 was agreed to. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sail he would now explain the clauses which were agreed to on the former sitting, on the understanding that he would afford an opportunity to the house to reconsider them. The clauses which he would now call attention to were for the purpose of equalising the land tax laid by various parishes, and also to facilitate their collection, and to apply the sur plus to the redemption of the tax. The clauses would, without interfere,p ; with the discretion of the Land-tax Commissioners, have the effect of making the Inland revenue responsible for the management of the surplus and its application to the redemption of the tax. It would be for the committee to say whether it agreed to these clauses ; if not, he would re-commit the bill for their further con sideration. Mr. HENLEY called the attention of the committee to the fact that if the collectors were under an obligation to make a return to the Commissioner of Inland Revenue, the result might be to cause some difficulty in rentals of very small tenements, the collection of the tax from which would cost more than the tax itself would amount to. Lord H. VANE thought that this bill was a ve r y necessary and a very useful one. It was desirable that the Government should appoint some one to assist the commis sioners, who were not always very competent to make the assessment. Mr. BARROW thought the commissioners were as able to make the assessment as they were to'\hear appeals against the poor rate assessment. They did the one, and certainly could do the other. After a few words from Sir W. JOLLIFFE, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER ex plained that the clause was not only to deal with ex isting surpluses, but also with those that might here after accrue. The bill did not take any of the powers which the Commissioners now held away from them, but would render a more regular and proper collection of the tax necessary. After a few words from Mr. S. Estcourt, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Henley, and Mr. Newdegato the discussion on the subject of the land tax dropped, . Clause 37 was ne;tproposed, which was to facilitate the re covery of the succession duty. _ _ _ Mr. BOVILL said that the effect of this clause would be to deprive all parties of any power to appeal from decisions of the Court of Exchequer, and some remedy should be supplied in the bill to meet this objection. Mr. PHILLIPS was strongly opposed to proceeding with these clauses at so late a period of the session. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he would not object to the introduction of the words to meet the views of the hon. member for Guildford (Mr. Bovill). In reply to Mr. WALPOLE, The CHANCELLOR o f the EXCHEQUER said that he had not been able to look into the proceeds that might be derivable from a succession duty on the property of corporate bodies, It was understood that it would not realise more than £5,000 a year, but he hoped to be able to sift the matter thoroughly on a future occasion. Sir H. JOLLIFFE hoped that the subject would be taken into consideration early next session. After some conversation the clause, with amendments, was agreed to. On clause 35, which proposes to extend the preceding clause to Ireland, there was some irregular discussion, in the course of which The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it had been determined to divide the bill into three bills, a course which was sanctioned by precedent. Mr. MASSEY, the chairman of the committee, was ap pealed to and confirmed the statement of the right hon. gentleman. The clause was agreed to. On clause 39, which related to probate duties, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was proposed to provide for the preventisn of just debts due to the Treasury being evaded. In order to accomplish that object more effectually, he moved the following amendment :—" At the end, after "voluntary debt," add, " expressed to be payable on the death of such person, or payable under any instrument which shall not have been bona fide delivered to the donor thereof, three months before the death of such person." The right hon. gentleman, in reply to some questions, stated that as regarded gifts inter vices the clause would not inter fere with any bequests of that kind, except they came within the terms of the amendment, namely, being delivered to the donee three months previous to the demise of the donor. The clause was then agreed Oa clause 40, The CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER explained that the object of the clause was to give effect to the Succession Duty Act of 1853, which, as it stood at present, enabled persons by arrangement amongst themselves to evade the payment of the succession duty. He contended that, without such a clause, the spit it of the bill could not be earned out. _ _ Sir F. GOLDSMID moved the omission of the clause, which he considered was framed with a view to repeal the effect of a decision of the House of Lords. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL contended that an alto. ration in the Succession Duty Act had become necessary, and that a decision of the House of Lords was no ground for not introducing amendments in an existing law. The learned gentleman illustrated his position by a number of suppositious cases which might probably arise, in which the spirit of the bill might be entirely evaded. Sir H. CAIRNS opposed the amendment, contending it was quite unnecessary, and complicated the matter unneces sarily. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said after what had occurred, he should not persevere with the clause. The clause was negatived. The CHAIRMAN then reported the bill with amendments to the house ; and it was agreed that clause 15 should be withdrawn with a view to its re-introduction as a separate bill. The house adjourned at four o'clock, and reassembled at six, and was LEFT SITTING. LONDON GAZETTE--(7.HIS EV.ENING). DOWNING-STREET, JULY 20.

Inspector Holden said—Early this morning the defen dant was brought to the Vine-street station with a young woman, whom he charged with attempting to pick pockets in the Strand and Jermyn-street. I asked the defendant on what authority he acted, and he said he was a detective 52 D, and that his name was William Rull. Seeing that he had been drinking, I sent to Marylebone-lane to sea if he belonged to the D division, and while th e messengergone prison er rus h ed to the end of the room, outtoekw a a k s nife and cut his arm, and I was obliged to send for the divisional surgeon to bind up the wound.
