HOUSE OF LORDS. (Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord St. Leonards, Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, and other peers.) BROOKS:ET. AL. V. BROOKS ET. AL.—AEPEAL. This is an appeal from a decision of Vice• Chancellor Wood, declaring invalid in England the marriage with a deceased wife's sister in Denmark, where such marriages are lawful. The Attorney-General having concluded his arguments on the part of the Crown, was followed Mr. Wickens on the same side,'who was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Pane.) IN RE SIVIITH, PATIENT, AND CO.-TAE FAILURES IN THE LEATHER TRADE. These bankrupts carried on business in a very extensive way as leather factors in Bermondsey, and were intimately connected in commercial transactions with Messrs. Streat feild, and this was an examination meeting. Mr. Murray asked for an adjournment sine die, as there were omissions and discrepancies in the accounts. Mr. Lawrance said that much of the delay had oocurred through the death of one of the partners, who was the cashier, but there could be no question that satisfactory accounts could be rendered in a short time. His Honour said that an adjournment sine die conveyed an imputation, which had better be withheld, when there was no prospect of bringing the case fully before the Court. Mr. Lawrance said that, as respected Mr. Patient, a large sum of money had been expended in supporting a claim for a large amount, but unfortunately a gentleman who could throw light on the matter was too ill to attend. Under al' the circumstances, it was advisable that the case should be adjourned. His Honour adjourned the examination sine die, with protection for three months and leave to apply. SECONDARIES COURT.

CORN EXCHANGE. A few runs of English wheat were received fresh up to • day, tut chiefly in very poor condition. Selected samples of both red and white were taken off at Monday's cur rency ; but other kinds were very dull, and with difficulty disposed of at irregular quotations. We were again heavily supplied wil h foreign wheat. Most kinds commanded a fair retail inquiry at last week's prices. Floating cargoes were held at late rates ; but the inquiry for them was slow. There was a fair inquiry for barley, chiefly for grinding purposes, at previous rates. Superine malt was firm. Other descriptions commanded very little attention. There was a good consumptive demand for oats at ex treme quotations. The imports still continue on a limited scale. We have no change to notice in the value of either beans or peas. Flour was less active, but not lower in price. ARRIVALS THIS 'WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. English 1,380 I 1,970 3,970 980 1 2,590 Irish.

This was a writ of enquiry to assess the damages (L 1,347 Os. 3d.) sustained in consequence of the non-com pletion of a contract by the defendants. For the plaintiff, it was stated that the defendants had agreed to purchase a cottage and plot of ground, belonging to the plaintiff, situated in Somerset. Without assigning any reason or excuse the defendants had, up to the present time, neglected to complete the purchase, and the present proceedings were taken to obtain damages. No one appeared for the defendants, who had suffered judgment by default, and _ _ The learned:,Secondary having pointed out to the jury bat it became a mere formal matter, A verdict passed for £1,347 Os. 3d. TIM COMMERCIAL BANK FRAUD. BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) John Durden, of 9, Park-village East, Regent's-park, clerk at the late Commercial Bank of London, and James Holcroft, of 109, Hatton-garden, agent and wholesale boot and shoe dealer, were placed at the bar on remand, charged with having defrauded the directors of the said bank of three sums of money—viz., £156 Os., £149 6s. 4d., and £66 Ild., together with other sums, the said Holcroft being charged as an accomplice. It will be recollected that Burden at the last examination admitted that during his clerkship in the bank he had robbed the establishment of nearly £70,000. He was em ployed as a ledger-clerk, and it was his duty to enter in his ledger the amount of deposits made by customers. The other prisoner, according to the statement of Mr Hum phreys, jun., the solicitor, who prosecuted, was a nominal customer of the bank, though a very paltry account in reality, but which had been swelled to an enormous amount by fictitious entries made to his credit by Durden, who then used Holcroft's cheques upon this imaginary account to effect the embezzlements with which the prisoners were now charged. This fraud was effected by Durden in the following manner :—He received the amount of £156, for example, and entered it to the account of Messrs. Hamil ton and Co. ; he at the same time entered the same amount to Holcroft's account. This was done with a large number of deposits from day to day, Holcroft's figures being omitted in the casting up, so that there did not appear any discrepancy in the sum total. Mr. Humphreys said—he had intended that a strict in vestigation into the accounts kept by the prisoner Durde n should be made, but that had not yet been completed so ho could not state the exact amount of that prisoner's deficit. He should confine himself that day to proving that three sums of money entered by some other clerks to three different persons, to the credit of some of the custo mers of the bank, had been posted by the prisoner Durden to the credit of Holcroft. Mr. Dyson said on the 3d of January the sum of £66 9s. lid. had been entered to the account of Mr. Hooper by Mr. Little, one of the officials of the bank. On the 11th of the same month £156 Bs. 6d. was entered to the credit of Hampton and Russell, and on the 14th the sum of £149 6s. Id. was entered to Mr. W. Hall. No such credits were entered on either of those ilayii — to the ac count of Holcroft. On referring to the ledger account of Holcroft, which was in the hand writing of the prisoner Darden, ha found the following entries :—On the 3d of January a sum was entered to the account of Holcroft of £66 95. 11d. ; on the 11th, £156 Bs. 6d. ; and on the 14th, £149 Gs. Id. They are all in the handwriting of the prisoner. On referring to the account of Mr. Hooper, in the same ledger, he found that £66 9s. 11d. was entered to his account, and the two other sums were also posted in the same book respectively to Messrs. Hampton, Russell, and M'Hale. The book produced was the pass-book of the prisoner Hol croft with the Commercial Bank, and the balance brought forward from last year in his favour was stated to be £69 2s. sd. He believed it was in the handwriting of Durden. On the same page there was an entry, on 3d of Jan., of £69 9s. 11d. to Holcroft's credit. On 7th Jan. there was another credit of £156 Bs. Gd., and on the 12th there was also another of £149 6s. Id. There was no entry in the cash-book, corresponding with that of the 12th, to Holcroft's credit. He knew the prisoner Holcroft, as he had frequently given him the pass-book at the bank. It was left by him generally about twice a week to be made up. After the examination of the accountant the prisoners were again remanded. 21118 DAY'S SHIPPING.

Great secresy continues to be maintained at Paris regarding the Mires affair, but this is not looked upon with dissatisfaction by the speculators, since it rather increases the hope that the Government will find it expe dient to prevent any ruinous results to the parties interested. The abundance of unemployed money on the Continent increases, esp3cially in Germany. At Frankfort the rate of discount has fallen to 11 per cent. The rate of exchange from New York by the Anglo-Saxon is two days later than that previously re ceived, and shows a slight improvement. The last quota tion was 1041 to 105, and is now 106, at which, however, the market was dull. _ .

The Marquis of NORMANBY said in consequence of certain proceedings connected with the papers for which he had moved relative to Mr. Turnbull, he thought it right to inform their lordships that he should alter the course be proposed to adopt on Monday next. Instead, therefore, of moving the resolution of which he had given notice, he should move that a committee be appointed to consider and inquire into the whole circumstances connected with the resignation of Mr. Turnbull, THE ITALIAN QUESTION. The Marquis of NORM ANBY laid on the table the terms of the motion he intended to submit on Italian affairs. He would not trouble the house by reading it, as it would be printed with the votes to-morrow morning. STATUTE REVISION BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second reading of this bill, which was a step in the direction of that im portant proceeding, a revision of the statute law. The bill proposed to expurgate those statutes which had become obsolete, and to repeal such other clauses which were no longer practically in force. A copy of the bill had been sent round to all the offices affected by the bill, and the officials were all of opinion that the bill was such as would be attended with the most beneficial re sults. Lord CRANWORTH. congratulated the noble lord on the introduction of the bill, which he thought one of great usefulness. Lord CHELM SFORD thought that it was scarcely safe to trust to the selection that had been made by the two able gentleman who had been engaged in the selection of the bills and clauses to be repealed. He thought at least that the bill after it had ben read a second time should be referred to a select com mittee. He had no doubt the bill was a very good one, and no injury could follow the course he proposed. Alter a few words from the EArl of DONOUGIIMORE 7 The bill was read a second time. GLEBE HOUSES. Viscount DUNGANNON inquired whether any mea sure, approved by Convocation and sanctioned by the Epis copal Bench, was to be introduced during the present ses • sion relative to the amendment or alteration of the existing law in regard to dilapidations of glebe houses. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY said he had ex pressed a hope that a bill would have been introduced on the subjeot before the present time, but unforseen circum stances had prevented that being realised. He could not give at that moment any positive answer to the noble lord, but he did not think it at all possible that a bill of the nature referred to could be introduced during the present session. THE CONDITION OF THE 'AIETROPOLITAN LABOURERS. The Earl of DERBY then rose to present a petition re specting the displaceramt of labourers in consequence of great public works in the metropolis. The petition which he had the honour to present was that of a single indivi dual, but that person had been 11 years incumbent of one of the poorest and most densely populated district of the me tropolis, and he might naturally be expected to be perfectly familiar with the condition of the labouring classes. Numerous Railway Bills were now awaiting the consent of Parliament, by means of some of which it was sought to drive 60 or 70 miles of new lines through the very heart of the metropolis. One of these lines, the Metropolitan Ex tension Railway, between Finsbury•circus and Smithfield, which would cut through a most crowded part of the town, proposed the demolition of 500 houses, inhabited by about 5,000 people, of whom 2,000 were under notice to quit. The inhabitants of this part of the metropolis were too poor to take the ordinary steps to oppose any measure of the kind. The result would be, if the bill passed, that, instead of having, as at present, ten people to a house, the numbers would probably be doubled, as it was unlikely that the pre sent inhabitants, many of them very poor shopkeepers, would lose their customers by quitting the neighbourhood. Under such circumstances the ordinary effects of overcrowd - ingwould be produeed—namely, drunkenness, sickness, and an absence of all the decencies of domestic life. He thought the appointment of a committee would be of advantage, to inquire into the effects upon the population and the social condition of the metropolis by the great extension of rail- ways. Lord SHAFT ESBURY stated the efforts which he had made at various times to oppose the evil complained of by Lord Derby, by making railway companies responsible to the parties whom they displaced. The demolitions effected under these bills were as great as if a foreign army had in. vaded the country. Lord Shaftesbury then depicted in terribly simple terms the evils caused by sudden orders to quit on a large neighbourhood, and quoted statistics, which he had collected in person . to show the horribly crowded state of the courts and alleys of the city in consequence of the pulling down of Field-lane and its immediate neigh bourhood. It was impossible to describe the effects of this overcrowding on the health and morals of the population. He protested against any further sanction to the wild schemes by which these poor people were turned out of their abodes. The Bishop of LONDON expressed his gratitude to the two noble lords for calling attention to this matter, and observed that, although it was supposed that overcrowding existed in the east of London only, in the parish of St. John, when Victoria-street was formed, the very evils now complained of were observed, and 5,000 persons were dis placed by the demolition of their houses. Ile cordially con curred in Lord Derby's suggestion that a committee to investigate the subject should be appointed. Lord GRANVILLE begged the house to remember that some of these lines would be of the greatest advantage to the poorer classes and to the metropolis, because, if pro perly constructed, they would increase capital, the fund out of which labour must be paid, and increase the salubrity of the metropolis. No one regretted more than he did the over crowding of the poorer classes in the metropolis, but the remedy was most difficult, and palliatives in the shape of model lodging-houses quite ineffective. Many of the streets and alleys threatened with destruction were the dens of the criminal classes, and he was not sure that it was not a positive act of kindness to the poor to remove the worst of these houses. He doubted whether the appointment of a select committee would be productive of benefit.' Lord GREY agreed with the suggestion that the new railways should be made with the means of affording relief to the labouring classes in regard to house communication, and was extremely sorry to find that the Government had no remedy to propose. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said that the noble lord who had last spoken had discussed the question upon totally different grounds from those taken by the noble earl who had called attention to the petition. That petition alleged a specific grievance, arising out of a single proposed line. Noble lords bad discussed the propriety of not having any lines within certain portions of London at all, and talked of suspending all further progress until the general question of metropolitan railway extension was settled. It was important that these very different ques tions should not be mixed up together. Their lordships must remember the actual facts. Parliament had already passed a bill for the construction of new lines into the me tropolis. The metropolitan railway from Paddington to Farringdon-street was in process of construction, and would, he believed, ere long be completed. Another exten sion was completed from London-bridge to the Victoria Station in Pimlico, close to their lordships' house. A third extension, from London -bridge to Charing-cross, was in progress ; and there were others in the same position. Therefore, when they raised the general question of exten sion, it would be found they were precluded from dealing with it. After companies had gone:to the expense of gstting their bills passed through Parliament—after they had pur chased land and commenced the construction of their lines —it would be a hardship of the worst description if they were to be told that they must suspend or delay those works until that house had come to a decision upon the general question of metropolitan railway extension. With respect to the injury done by the removal of labourers' dwellings, an examination would show that even the new schemes removed far fewer of that class of dwellings than had been pulled down to make room for the new and im proved streets in the wes t of the metropolis. The plan for erecting these courts of law would necessarily cause the demolition of a large number of houses inhabited by_ the poore r classes, yet the p lan had met with very ge e p r oval. There were g reat improvements ue n h n ed e e r d a , e a rn w wo uld have m hich if they refused their assent to ache the effect of dislodging the poor, abseraor .) pe w ould After bbe alluding put to all t o improvements whatever.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SFEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented for and against the abo lition of church rates ; against any alteration in the pre sent law of marriage ; against the Parochial Assessment Bill ; against the bill for the removal of Scotch and Irish poor.; for an alteration in the present mode of levying duty on wine, &c. NEW SOUTH WALES. On the motion of Mr, ARTHUR MILLS, an address or a copy of a despatch from Sir W. Denison to the Sae. retary of State for the Colonies, dated the 14th of August, 1856, on military expenditure, was agreed to ; as well as the reply of the Secretary of State, dated 11th March, 185 S. COPPER, &c. On the motion of Mr. DAVEY,returns of all the exports of copper and copper ore, &c., to the end of January, 1861, were ordered. EAST INDIA PROPERTY TAX. Mr. CRAWFORD moved an address for a copy of Act No. 3,332 of 1860, of the Government of India, intituled " An Act for Imposing Duties on Profits arising from Pi o fessious, Trades, and Duties and Offices."—Agreed to. CONVICTS AT BERMUDA, &c. Lord NAAS asked the Under Secretary of State fur the Colonies whether any alteration had taken place in the treatment of the convicts at Bermuda; whether the hulks were still used ; and whether there was any truth - in the report that a mutiny had lately occurred among the con victs in that establishment? Mr. C. FORTESCUE said he was not aware that any change had taken place in the treatment of the convicts at Bermuda. • One of the hulks that had bften used for c•in-- victs was empty in consequence of the diminution in the Lumber of tae convicts, but one hulk was used. GRAND JURY LAWS OF IRELAND. Mr. SULLIVAN asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce this session any measure for the alteration and amendment of the grand jury laws of Ireland ? Mr. CARDWELL said that he had no intention of in - troducing any such measure during the present session. THE RED RIVER. Mr. L. PALK asked the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies whether ary steps had been taken by her Majesty's Government to open the territory on the Red River and the Saskatchewan, in British North America, to colonisation, in pursuance of the recommendation of the select committee of 1857. Mr. C. FORTESCUE said this question was attended with more difficulties than the hon. member seemed from his question to imply. A bill had been prepared on the subject, but before it could be brought in, some negotia • tions that were going on between Government and the Hud um's Bay Company must be concluded, which he believed would shortly be effected. THE UNIVERSITY OF DURHAM. Mr. FENWICK asked the Secretary of State for the Homo Department, whether the attention of her Majesty's Government had been turned to the endowments in the hands of the university of Durham, and the educational results, shown by a return recently presented to this house, and whether it was intended to take any steps in conse quence ? Mr. CLIVE said his right hon. friend the Home Secre tary had had his attention directed to the subject, which, he believed, was now under his consideration. THE HARVEST. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. CAIRD called the attention of the house to the serious deficiency of last harvest, and the consequent neces sity for increased economy in the public expenditure. He considered it his duty to bring this subject forward on the present occasion in consequence of there having been no allusion to it in the Royal Speech or by the Ministers of the Crown. There were no certain data to proceed on with respect to this subject, and therefore they were unable to ascertain the results of the last harvest. Owing to the severity of the October of 1859 there had been a great failure in the crops of the following autumn from the injury which the seed had sustained, and there was also a considerable failure both in the corn crop and the potato crop this year. It was true that the crop in Scot land was good, but that crop would not do more than sup port the population of the United Kingdom for ten days. He collected from the Agricultural Gazette that there was a deficiency in the crops for the last six months even much less than in the same period for the 15 years preceding. Having referred to the Custom-house returns to show the vast in crease that had taken place in the imports of foreign grain, the result of free trade, and which alone had been means of averting the horrors of a famine in this country, he considered that under the circumstances it was the bounden. duty of the house to reduce the public expenditure as low as was consistent with the exigencies of the public service, and he appealed strongly to hon. members not to pass an. estimate that was not clearly necessary. AFFAIRS AT CONSTANTINOPLE. Mr. S. FITZGERALD asked the noble lord the Foreign Secretary whether he had received any information as to a note said to have been presented by Prince Labanoff to the Minister of Affairs at Constantinople, commenting on the report made by the Grand Vizier to the Sultan of the result of his enquiries into the complaints of the Christian subjects of the Porte, whether that note had received the support of the French Minister at Constantinople, and whether the subject of the note, and the demands it con tained had been brought under the notice of the Conference at Paris. He contended that Russia adhered to her old policy of interfering in the internal affairs of Turkey, and, therefore, it was most desirable that measures should be adopted to neutralise the effect of such iatervention. He did not wish to increase the difficulties of the noble lord (Russell), but he appealed to him in the name of humanity to take more immediate and decisive steps than he stated he would do the other evening on the subject of the unfortu nate men who were under sentence of death for the con duct of which they were accused in reference to the distur bances that broke out in Syria. FRENCH OCCUPATION OF SYRIA. Sir J. FERGUSSON called (he attention of the house to the present position of affairs in Syria; and asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether, in the event of the French occupation being prolonged beyond the period fixed by the convention of July 1860, her Majesty's Go vernment were prepared to act upon the right reserved to the other Powers by that convention of uniting bodies of their troops with those of France in the occupation ; and whether her Majesty's Government were in possession of further information upon the subject, which it would Le consistent with the interests of the public service to com municate to the house ? It appeared that the French press were now advocating a prolongation of that occupation. If such took place it would be difficult to predict when it would terminate. He argued that, in order to avert the probability of this country drifting into another Russian war, it was necessary to be prompt in reference to this question of Syria, The hon. baronet entered at considerable length into details relative to the state of Syria some time preceding ; and at the period of the recent insurrections there. A conviction prevailed in that country that French agency had been at work to stir up the Maronitea to attack the Druses, by representing to them that they were dependent on France for protection, and promising them impunity from may such attack. He contended, therefore, that the Druses were not alone to blame for the disturbances in Syria. The period of occupation by the French had now nearly come to a close, and he hoped England would see that these troops were withdrawn. He believed that so long as the French troops remained in Syria there would be no quiet in that part of the Turkish Empire, and civilisation would be injured by their remaining there. The hon. baronet, having referred - to an order of the day by the French gene ral in Syria, which gave countenance to the acts of the French troops, contended it was the duty of this country:to disclaim all connection with the acts of the French troops in Syria, and that steps should be taken immediately to have the French troops recalled from that country. Mr. L AYARD said there had been so much in the foreign policy of her Majesty's Government which he believed fairly represented the feelings of the large mass of the Eng lish people that he should be sorry at this moment to say anything which might induce her Majesty's Government to believe that he differed from them in their foreign policy. Moreover, on the question of Turkey, the noble lord now at the head of her Majesty's Government had always pur sued a policy to his mind wise and consistent, and as he be lieved in accordance with English interests. He trusted, therefore, he should not be misunderstood in the remarks he was about to make, but he thought the question was of great importance, and he should therefore express himself frankly upon it. He looked upon this convention for the occupation of Syria to be most disastrous—disastrous in the principles and precedents it had established, disastrous in the effect which it had already produced, and disastre t u r s owa in the results which were likely to ensue. He said resentatives in the principles and precedents it had establishedhredi.saaWhat were those principles and precedents ? laidT ala d e o re P of the great Powers met in Paris, and of wn a a pr P l or c e i i p o la that they could interfere in the internal a Ilya part of that state n state, and not only interfere buttol occupyd that Turkey was a con sentingwith an army. He might appealbe to him that the consent party. Now it conse of the individual who of Turkey was very like the Cordelier who was thrown out Dr. Johnson likened to mthmeended to fall soft.

If so, why did we not occupy part of Austria? Why did we not occupy Venetia, where he hesitated not to say there was more cruelty, oppression, and injustice than in any part of Turkey ? (Hear, hear.) But mark the principle that was established. If one Power could interfere and occupy a country with the sanction of other powers, why could not another power do the same with another country ? They had had a question to-night by the hon. member for Horsham of great importance re specting what was now occurring at Constantinople. We might find another Mentchikoff there for anything that we knew. Thunder had long been rolling on the Danube, in trigues were going on, and what did all these things fore till ? That before very long we should have another power bringing about disturbances and massacres in. Turkey in Europe, and then could we say that that power should not also send an army to keep down disturbances -which Turkey could not repress ? He would undertake to. say that in a few days the agents of Russia might get up a disturbance in Bulgaria, and what would be the conr,equence ? She would say France had occupied Syria, and therefore Rus sia could occupy Bulgaria. Some persons had expressed surprise that Russia should have consented to the occup , s ; tion of Syria. He was not surprised. Sale had no inter..._a in Syria. France had, and the interest that France had` in in Syria, Russia had in Bulgaria.
