The SI'EAKER took the chair at a quarter-past twelve o'clock. THE NEW LORD CHANCELLOR. A new writ was ordered to issue for the borough of Wol verhampton for the election of a burgess in the place of Sir Richard Bothell, who had accepted the office of Lord High Chancellor of Great Britain. (Hear, hear.) 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 1814 down to the let 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 itland, 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 most 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 he 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. HENLEY said he thought that ample notice ought to be given to every person interested in the estate before the proposed improvements were carried out. If the 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 en the community. Sir G. LEWIS referred to the Drainage Act, and said it provide I adequate means for affording the necessary infor mation to all parties interested. Mr. G. HARDY suggested that the following words be added to the 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. - [LEFT SITTING.] PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS-JUNE 25. ROYAL MILITARY COLLEGE AT SANDHURST.

Worcester Autumn 5 Liverpool Autumn l3 Shrewsbury Autumn....l9 The public are not generally aware that by an Act passed in 1854 the necessity of affixing s . stamp an d cancelling it in a most precise form was imposed upon all bills drawn abroad on unstamped paper a nd negotiated in England. The Act enacts that the stamp so affixed shall be cancelled by the person negotiating or passing away the bill writing thereon his name or the name of hi s firm, and the date of the day and year on which he shall so write the same ; and goes on to say, that no person shall take or re ceive from any other person any such bill, or recover thereon, or make the same available fur any purpose whatever, un less at the time of taking the bill the stamp should be can celled by the person first negotiating the bill in this country. In an action yesterday at the Guildhall the defence raised was that the stamp had not been cancelled in the strict for mal way indicated by the statute, at the moment of its first transfer in England, by writing the name of the first per son negotiating the bill in this country across it. In the particular case the parties satisfied the jury that this had been done, and the verdict in the action was given against the acceptors, who defended; but had it not been done it is understood that the defendants, although the acceptors of the bill, would have succeeded by these means in escaping the discharge of their obligation. UST. EXTRAORDINARY CHARGE OF INDE CENT CONDUCT _AGAINST AN 31. P. The case against Sir John Shelley, M.P,, was re sumed yesterd ,y at 'Marlborough-street, before Mr. Corrie, who, as by appointment, came especially from Bow-street to preside. The case, as may be supposed, had excited great public interest, and the court was crowded to suffo cation by gentlemen anxious to hear the re-exami .. nation. Mr. Humphreys, jun., as before, conducted the prosecution ; and Mr. Garth appeared for tho defence. Maria Harley, the nurse to Mrs. Train, and Ellen Smith, housemaid to Mrs. Stafford were ex amined for the prosecution, but their evidence was totally unfit for publication. Mr. Humphreys said that was the case, and he did not propose producing other witnesses, and asked that the case, if made out in the judgment of the Court, should go to trial. Mr. Garth said he did not propose calling wit nesses to character, because he might call half Lon don. The case was a most extraordinary one, but it had been trumped up, and he would produce a letter and show there was a dark mover behind the scene. He confessed the only difficulty he found was in the evidence 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. He afterwards redressed himself and went to Brookes's, and at half-past four o'clock to the House of Commons. The witnesses might have seea 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 hands 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 committed 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 head 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 Sir 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. Then is a sofa across the middle window, with the back towards it ; a table is near it, an d i t i s a l ways in its place. tis 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 shot, 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 ho 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 -street. 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 now 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. He changed his uniform in his bedroom. He changed his dress in his bedroom. I was not present. When, the second time, about a quarter to 2, I went back to the drawing room he had his plaid trousers on, the same, I believe, he has on now. By Mr, Garth—Sir John is much engaged during the day. Maria Johnson, servant at 66, St. James-street, said—l remember Sir John coming in on the Draw ing-room day, and his servant 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 another chair between the centre of the room and the sofa. lam sure he had on plaid trousers. I went into the room again as the clock struck 4 and looked out, and he came in presently after. On turning round I saw him. Cross-examined—lt was about half-past 1 when I took up the card. The second time I went up was while he was out. I went to see the people and the carriages. Half the window was open. I knocked at the door on going up with the card. Mattick, the servant, was in the room when I w went in to look out. Another gentleman is lodging in the house on the second floor. I don't rememb er any o ne coming to ask who livedin our house' No. 66. Mr. 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. The Rev. Mr. Ratcliffe, examined—l am Master of Arts and Lecturer of Trinity Church, Newing ton. I was in St. James's-street on the day of the Drawing Room looking at the carriages. I was first on the steps of 18 (Mrs. Stafford's). I was there a quarter of an hour or 20 minutes, and while there I saw, as I thought, Sir John Shelley at his window, at No. 66, but could not distinctly see from No. 18 whether it was Sir John or not. I therefore went lower down, nearly opposite, and he had then withdrawn from the window. I went to the door of the chemist's, or glass dealer's shop, between No. 18 and the bank, and found I could see much better Sir John Shelley's rooms, and into them. I remained about more than an hour. I sup pose it was from half-past Ito a quarter to 3. I often looked at Sir John's windows during the time. The window near Piccadilly was half 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 to-day—solely on that account. Cross•examined by Mr. Humphreys—.l had sent to Sir John Shelley a complimentary letter merely some time before. I watched the windows more or less for an hour. I merely went to see the Draw ing Room. I knew his rooms very well 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 m indows, and think it offensively put to me. Mr. Humphreys was putting another question, which Mr. Corrie checked as irrelevant. Witness, in continuation, said—The person 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, therefore, as I said, moved where I could see in a more direct way. I don't think I am called upon rightly to say what I think, but simply what I actually saw. I had gone out that day to visit friends. I was there wh en the Blues passed, but did not see Sir John co me out to look at them. I sow no o ne from the house kiss hamndrss.toEalnleyn Gibson,ladies. 13, North-bank, Regent's virrakv,r Drawing-room, looking laOsoikni St. James-street the day of the ng at the carriages. Iwas op posite No. 6 6 , on the east side. It was about a quarter to 2. I saw a gentleman at the window once or twice. He wore a dressin I think . seemed to me as if he had just run o his dress inghe had trousers on. I am almost sure sure he had—it 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 1 heard from him he was there; if you want to see the letter I could produce it. Sir W. Stirling, Portman-square —I 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 p ause as t h e 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 sate nothing in the slightest degre e obj e ction a ble i n his attire. I be lieve my d aug ht er recogn i se d hi m, b ut she did not sit on the same side of the carriage. Mr. Corrie said, if this had been an ordinary case he should have st o pp e d it, b u t b ecause o f i ts immenseimportanc e to the public, as well as to the defendant, he had allowed it to go on. IL, then recapitulated the evidence, and commented on it as he proceeded, characterising it as incrediLh that on the Queen's Drawing-room day, the street full, Sir John should so hav e acted. 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, W h en police, soldiers, and the public were thickly about, to c:nn mit such an offence as alleged, and he must say he did not believe it. Sir John, he must say; l e f t t h e court unstained in character by this case. Sir John, with his friends, among . whom were several members of Parliament, then retired !rora the court, and, as he wen t t o a c onveyance waiting for him was received with hurrahs from many hun dred persons waiting the result outside the court, while the witnesses for the prosecution left 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 before 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 irance 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 they set 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. Henley in the chair. The other members present were— Sir J. Pakington, Sir J. Graham, Sir M. Seymour, Admiral Duncombe, Lord C. Paget, Sir F. Baring, Mr. Corrie, Mr. Stansfeld, and Mr. Phillips. Sir M. Seymour, one of the members of committee, in rep,v to questions by Admiral Buncombe, 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 pression was that, considering all th'e 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 mot equal to meet an emergency. Tie 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 sl ow ly a t 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 e d b by n o t s h o e r doing.m ean s I B think e t r h e e y i are s one perfectly evil jeuiPstiiifine 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 MONUIIIEN 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 mad 36 feet square. The site is one which commands a magnificent view of the broad valley in Ix tich the plain of Bannockburn an d th e c astle, rock of Stirling, and those pictu resque reacheg of t h e Forth among which Wall ac e gained .his most memorable victory. The procession was mar shalled in the King's-park at Stirling in liesf 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. Th.te appear interesl king, the ance it presented from the summit of the . rock, as it slowly approached along the winding road from tremely ay uniforms of riflemen and the dark blu e dresses s a s contrastingex Eai d neg e s ll a o n w d s, th v e ree t og h fr e t h e narrow A rtil i s e t: e y e c t s o , r w p With ft Le scarlet quaint costumes of Gardeners, and Sons of St. Crispin. Before different civic bodies Freemasons, uniforms were borne a number of interesting relics,. including the swords of Wallac e , Robert Bruce t Bruce, andl Sir Sohn Graham. Sir Archib a l d Alison addressed the as semblage. In thanking, in the name of f hose 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 Bannock burn as sembled under the Abbey Craig. Mr.. Sheriff Glassford Bell then thanked the subscriber] ; 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 now " The Percy and the Douglas both together Are confident against the world in arms." The Rev. Dr. Rodgers, the secretary, follow ed with a vote of congratulation to the Wallace fa mily re presented in the male line at the meeting by General Sir Maxwell Wallace. At a banquet why ich took place in the Corn Exchange Hall, after " The Memory of Wallace" had been proposed by Sir Archibald Alison, and that of Brace by Sher iff Bell, Professor Blackie proposed the toast of " ; Scottish Literature" in a speech which was receive ed with much applause. Other toasts having been p reposed the meeting separated:
