The Bank of England return completed to the 31st July shows some rather satisfactory changes. The bullion has been augmented by about half a million sterling, owing to the limited remittances of specie to America and the influx of Australian gold. The reserve of notes also show a rather large addition. In the other Securities there has been a considerable decrease in consequence of the easier state of the Money Market. The Public Deposits, however, show a reduction of about half a million, and there is also a diminution in the Go /ernmeut Securities. The other items of the balance sheet present no feature of importance; they will be seen in the subjoined table : Active Circulation. .. .. .. £20,297,940 Increase .. .. .. 155,175 Stock of Bullion .. .. .. 12,196,708 Increase .. .. ** • • 476,618 Rest 3 412 974 Increase .. .. • • • ' 11,800 Public Deposits .. .. .. 3,701,952 Decrease .. .. .. .. 421,508 Other Deposits 12,194,650 Increase .. 210,423 Seven Day and other Bills .. 70 0 ,182 Increase .. • • 73,656 Government Securities .. 9,466,279 Decrease .. 140,000 Other Securities 18,547,711 Decrease .. 307,072 Notes unemployed .. • . 5,706,760 Increase .. 332,045 About £20,000 in gold were sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The Seine, which left to-day for the West Indies, took £9,700 in gold and £4,600 in silver. A dividend at the rate of 52 per cent. per annum Will be proposed at the ensuing meeting of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company. The Joint-Stock Banks, following the movement i n the minimum rate of discount, have reduced their allowance on deposits to 4 per cent., the Lon (Ion and Westminster, however, as usual offering 1 Per cent. less for sums under £5OO. The discount 4r ola give 4 per cent. for money at call, and 4. 4 1,- 'With 7 days' notice of withdrawal. 4 Owing to the engagements of the 4th of the Month, which will have to be settled to-morrow, the demand for money is rather more active, although the market still presents a very quiet appearance. The supplies are abundant for the requirements of the mercantile community, and capitalists being anxious to employ their resources are still actively competing with the Bank of England. The result is that the best description of commercial bills can now be negociated as low as 41 per cent. During the last few days there has been very little business transacted in the Foreign and Colo nial Produce Market. Tea has been rather cheaper, and sugars have declined about 6d. per cwt. The operations in coffee, rice, and cocoa have been on a limited scale, without material alteration in values. Saltpetre, however, has advanced about 6d. per ovrt., and tallow has continued dull for both present and future delivery. Increased quietude was perceptible in the Liver- Pool Cotton Market yesterday, but prices were tolerably steady. The sales were 6,000 bales. At the meeting of the London District Telegraph Company, today, the directors' report referred to the progressive increase in the receipts, the open jug of twenty new stations since the previous state kent, and the income derived from private tele graphs, which are now becoming an important source of revenue. The directors continue to urge 11 Pon the shareholders the desirability of individual t o - nperation to make known the advantages and Objects of the company. The English Stock Market to-day has presented no new feature of importance, although continued buoyancy has prevailed, Consols being 901- I for money and the 7th instant, and 901 1 for the September account. The New Threes are firm at 90 -1, the Reduced remain at 90 ; Bank Stock bas advanced to 234; India New Loan Scrip to 10 01, ; Exchequer Bills are heavy at 14s. to Bs. ; June ditto are 4s. and ls, dis.

This morning at an early hour another chapter to the recent tales of horror was added by a report that a man had murdered his wife at No. 3, Newton-street, Holborn, and that he had afterwards attempted to commit suicide. The neighbourhood, which is very thickly populated by persons of the lower grade of life, was soon in full conster • nation and excitement. It appears from careful inquiries of the police authorities, Mr. Superintendent Durkin and Inspector Mackenzie, who have charge of the case, and so ably performed their duties in relation to the Northumber land-street tragedy, that this morning about half-past one P. C. Wakeham, 144 F, while on duty, saw the murderer, whose name is Wm. Cogan, a hawker of poultry, a man of about 30 years of age, standing with his wife at the door of No. 3, Newton-street, in which house they occupied the first floor front room. They appeared to have been drink. ing, and were quarrelling. The wretched man went up to the police-constable and said, " I will settle it to-night, and if not, to-morrow," pointing to his wife and his own throat. The constable, however, took no further notice, and passed on, but to his surprise and horror, on going his rounds at 2.45, Cogan came up to him in a bleeding state, and pointed to his throat, in which the constable saw several fearful wounds, and, finding the man could not speak, he lost no time in conveying him to King's College Hospital, where he was immediately attended by the house-surgeons, when, on examination, it was found that he had cut his throat in three distinct places, but without severing the carotid artery. The police-constable, Wakeham, then asked him if he had cut his wife's throat too. The wretched man nodded in the affirmative, and pointed in the direction of his own house. The constable, leaving the man in charge of the hospital authorities, went directly back to Newton street, and entering the front room on the first floor he found the unfortunate wife of the murderer lying across a basket in a pool of blood, and a razor lying on the floor, which from examination it was evident had been used by the murderer in cutting the throat of his victim and that of his own ; on raising the body a deep cut from under the right ear to the shoulder blade of the left side was found inflicted with such force as to nearly sever the head from the body. Mr. Painter, the divisional surgeon, was sent for, and on examination of the wounds, he pronounced the unfortunate woman to be quite dead, and that death must have been almost instantaneous, as all the main arteries were severed, and that she had been dead some time; therefore there is little doubt that the murderer consummated his deadly purpose soon after he first accosted the police-constable at half-past one o'clock. The mur derer and his wife bear but an indifferent character; they have fortunately only one child, and that a boy of nine years of age, who appears to have been reared in neglect and crime, as he is now an inmate of a Reformatory. Mr. Inspector Mackenzie has taken charge of the room and the body of the unfortunate woman, and stationed constables to keep off the crowd. On inquiry at King's College Hospital, at one o'clock, it was ascer tained that the murderer was in a very dangerous state, but progressing favourably. The cause of quarrel ending in murder is attributed to their drinking propensities. POLICE INTELLIGE'NCE.—(TMs Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CABMEN AND THEIR HORSES.---A USEFUL MAGIS TERIAL CAUTION.—William Fish, badge 7,583, and pro prietor of cab 954, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt as follows : George Smith, one of the officers of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, said that while passing through Gerrard-street last evening about nine, he saw the defendant whipping his horse in a very cruel manner. He examined the horse, and found inside the thigh a wound from which the blood was running, one of its knees was frightfully cut and swollen, and inside the fetlock joint there was a large wound. The horse was in very poor condition. Simeon Sell, another officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, confirmed the first wit less, and said one of the wounds was the size of the palm of his hand, but had been blackened over with lampblack and grease. On the way to the station the horse nearly fell. Mr. Tyrwhitt fined the defendant 10s. or 14 days, re marking that as long as cabmen could get their horses to crawl they drove them, but he would tell the defendant the police would look after him, and if he came again he would have a month without a flue. People of his class ought to know that they could have six months. He once sent a man for that term, and if necessary would do it again. The charge was made at the instance of Mr. Love, chief officor of the society. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To day's market was fairly supplied with English wheat in tolerably good condition. The finest samples were dis posed of at about Monday's currency ; otherwise, the trade ruled dull, and, in some instances, prices were rather drooping. We were somewhat extensively supplied with foreign wheat, and purchases in nearly all descriptions were made with great caution at about previous rates. _ _ _ In floating cargoes of grain a fair business was doing at mostly full quotations. Barley changed hands slowly on former terms. Malt was in slow request ; nevertheless, prices were firm. Fine oats maintained previous rates, but inferior qualities —the supply of which was large —were rather cheaper. For both beans and peas we have to report a heavy sale, and the quotations had a downward tendency. All fine marks of fl )ur were held at full prices ; inferior qualities, however, were dull at barely late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oath.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at half-past two o'clock. The Municipal Corporation Act Amendment Bill, the Removal of the Irish Poor Bill, Public Works Ireland Bill, Windsor Suspended Armouries Bill, Appropriation of Seats (Sudbury and St. Albans) Bill, and Conjugal Rights (Scot land) Bill were read a third time and passed. TRUSTEES SCOTLAND BILL. On the motion of the LORD CHANCELLOR, a new clause was introduced into this bill to delay its operation until November. The bill was then reed a third time. • The sitting was then suspended. At five o'clock the LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack. CONNSOLIDATION OF THE STATUTE LAWS. The LORD CHANCELLOR laid on the table a bill for further consolidating the Statute Law. He did not do so with the idea of further proceed ing with the measure this session, but merely that it might be read a first time, in order to receive the con sideration of their lordships previous to the next meeting of Parliament. The bill dealt with the acts from the earliest dates and continued down to those passed in the reign of Edward 111., in short it dealt with all the acts contained in the first folio volume, published by the Record Commission. The effect of the bill would be to reduce that book to about one-fifth of its present size. The bill was accordingly read a first time. THE DUKE OF MODENA. Mr. Marquis of NORMANBX explained the reason he did not intend to proceed with his motion for the production of certain documents which stood in his name for that even ing. He had been informed that the friends of the Duke of Modena intended publishing his defence, and there was no further necessity of moving in the matter.' THE BRITISH POSSESSIONS IN INDIA. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from the na- tives in India, in Bengal, Behar, Orissa, Bombay, Madras, and Tajore, representing the state of British possesions in India. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS-(THIS DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after two o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Mold and Denbigh Junc ticn Railway were considered and agreed to. • LUNATIC ASYLUMS IN IRELAND. On the motion that the house at its rising should adjourn until Monday, Mr. BLAKE called the attention of the Chief Secretary for Ireland to the great want which exists in the Irish Dis trict Lunatic Asylums of sufficient necessary appliances for promoting the happiness and recovery of the insane. The hon. member contrasted the internal arrangements of the lunatic asylums in England with those in Ireland, and contended that the latter were in a state that required considerable improvement. He trusted that the right honourable baronet (Sir Robert Peel) would devote his attention to the subject of the treatment of lunatics in Ireland, and that he would direct his abilities to remedying the defeets of the existing system. He also commented on the conduct of the inspectors of lunatic asylums in Ireland, to whom he attributed some blame. Mr. OSBORNE defended Dr. Nugent, one of the inspec tors alluded to, and stated that he believed there was no ground for any blame in regard to Dr. Hatehill. IRISH BILLS. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland what course he intended to pursue in reference to certain Irish bills. He alluded particularly to the course that had been pursued in respect to the registration of births, deaths, and marriages in Ireland. Sir R. PEEL said he quite concurred in the humane suggestions of the hon. member (Mr. Blake) as to the necessity and importance of doing everything that might lead to alleviate the sufferings and restore the health of persons labouring under the affliction of lunacy. lion. members were aware that in Ireland as well as elsewhere the time had passed away when lunatics wet e treated with unkindness, but he agreed also with the hon. member that it was desirable that the monotony of mind under which those poor persons laboured should be relieved by occupation and amusement. It did not appear that the re commendation of the commission which sat in 1858 in refer ence to lunacy, as to the propriety of introducing a system of amusement and occupation into lunatic asylums, had been adopted to the extent to which he thought would have been advisable. He referred to the latest report of the commission on the subject of lunacy, from which it appeared that in a sanitary condition, aad as regarded recoveries in lunatic asylums, Ireland, as compared with England, Scotland, and France, had the advantage. He assured the hon. member that he would do all in his power in reference to this matter as well as other objects of utility to promote the prosperity of Ireland. (Hear, hear.) Mr. CARDWELL, in reference to the remarks of Mr. Hennessy as to Irishbusiness, said that the bill for remov ing the penal liabilities of Roman Catholics in regard to mixed marriages had been withdrawn in accordance with the wishes of the majority of Roman Catholic members. The bills in respect to the registration of births, deaths, and marriage k and market fairs, could not be proceeded with in the abni ce of a number of Irish members. FOREIGN AFFAIRS. Mr. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether there was any intention on the part of the Govern ment to allow any European Power to obtain possession of Tetuan, or of any part of the coast of Morocco in the Me diterranean, with reference to the security of the Fortress of Gibraltar ? Sir G. BOWYER expressed a hope that this country would adopt every legitimate means to prevent encroach ment by France on Switzerland, and that the hon. baronet (Sir R. Peel) would exhibit in office the same interest and zeal which he had done previously in reference to that country. He hoped also that the Government would use the great influence of this country to obtain fair play for the Kingdom of the Two Sicilies. From accounts, both public and private, it appeared that that kingdom was in a state bordering on anarchy, and that it was deprived of ordinary protection to life and property. He contended that the people of Naples were kept down forcibly by the Piedmontese troops, and that these should evacuate that country in order to enable the people to give a true expression of their opinions as to whether they were not now desirous of being under their own Sovereign than remaining a mere province of Piedmont. Lord PALMERSTON said, with respect to the first question that had been put to him, it apreared that the King of Morocco had agreed to pay the Government of Spain, in instalments, a certain sum of money as an indemnity for the expenses incurred in the war. From the wild character of the people of Morocco, there had been some difficulty in collecting the money for this purpose, which led to the continued occupation of Tetuan by Spain. He had no doubt that the Government of that country had no desire to continue the occupation, which was very expensive. With respect to the other questions, he understood that the withdrawal of the Swiss troops from Italy had been the act of the Swiss Govern ment. As related to the atrocities which were alleged to have been committed in the neighbourhood of Naples, he understood the perpetrators were parties who had been sent from the Holy City for that purpose. The Government of this country would not interfere to protect these brigands in their atrocities. (Laughter.) Mr. S. FITZGERALD contended that the intention of Spain was to retain permanent possession of Tetuan, and referred to a statement which appeared in a Madrid paper in support of this statement. Lord PALMERSTON said he hoped the Sultan of Morocco would fulfil his agreement, and he was satified the Spanish Government would carry cut their contract. THE 29TH CANON OF 1603. Mr. H. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it was trus that the Convoca tion ofYork had postponed discussing the repeal of the 29th Canon of 1603 until next November; if they had done so, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to recommend that the Royal assent be given to the Canon which had beer recently passed by the Convocation of Canterbury, repealing the 29th Canon, and enacting another Canon in its place ' • and whether the Canon Law, as con tained in the 29th Canon of 1603, respecting sponsors, was not part of the Statute Law, it having been incorporated in the English and Irish Acts of Uniformity of Charles II.; and, if so, whether the Convention of the Irish Province, as part of the United Church of England and Ireland, had, in accordance with the letter and spirit of the Acts of Union, been consulted respecting the proposed alteration in the law respecting sponsors ? Sir G. GREY said the Government had no special infor mation as to the proceedings of Convocation. As regarded the second question, there was no application made to Go vernment on the subject. With respect to the third ques tion, it hardly arose, as the royal assent had not been asked for. THE BANDA PRIZE MONEY. Mr. FI, oJ4=ol.llt asked the Secretary of State for India, whether any and what steps aro being taken for the distribution of the Banda prize money due to General Whitlock's force ? Sir C. WOOD said that with regard to the prize money in question the subject was under the consideration of the India Government, as some dispute had arisen in reference to the amount to be distributed. EMPLOYMENT OF SOLDIERS IN THE CON STRUCTION OF CHELSEA WORKS. Mr. AYRTON drew attention to this subject, and de • precated the conduct of the Government in granting the assistance of Sappers and Miners for the works. Sir G. C. LEWIS repeated the explanation that he had given on a precious occasion, and said that as the work men considered the act of Government an interference with their rights, he had given instruction s that after the Ist of September the employment of the Sappers and Miners should be discontinued. (Hear, hear.) Sir M. PETO said that the question was one between the employers and the workmen, and condemned the interference of Government. He expressed a belief that ultimately the hour system would be adopted. The subject then dropped. PROBATE AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA TION ACT (IRELAND) AMENDMENT BILL. This bill went through committee, and was also read a third time and passed. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. W. E WART moved-1. That, so soon as the esti mates are read, one night in each week be given to their consideration; motions on going into committee of supply being on that day not permitted, except by express permis sion of the house ; 'Z. That, on other nights when supply is an order of the day, the speeches of members who bring forward motions on going into committee of supply be restricted to the limits of a quarter of an hour. That when a bill is referred to a select committee, the report of such committee shall be received, and the: bill stand for fur ther consideration, without the interventien of a com mittee of the whole house, unless the house shall order the bill to be re-committed. 4. That such committees, and all select committees, consist of not more than 5 (or 7) members, named by the committee of selection, who shall choose them for their knowledge of the subject to be submitted to their consideration, and ascertain that they will be able to attend regularly in such committee. 5. That no opposed business be proceeded in after the hour of one o'clock in the morning. He wished merely to bring these resolutions forward for the consideration of hon. members during the recess, and would not press for the adoption this session. Mr. BASS seconded the motion. - Sir G. GREY approved of some of the suggestions of the hon. member (Mr. Ewart). Mr. PAULL made a few remarks on the subject. The house then adjourned at five minutes past 5 o'clock. iAlgerian.

It extended the age of exemption from labour in lace factories from 11 to 13 years of age, and gave the children so employed two half hours for their meals out of the usual labour hours. After a few words from the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, the bill was read a second time. The Gunpowder Act Amendment , Bill, and the Episcopal and Capitular Estates Continuance Bill were also read a second time. The report of the amendments on the Appropriation of Seats (Sudbury and St. Albans) Bill was agreed to. The Industrial Schools (Scotland) and the Industrial Schools Bill were read a third time and passed. _ _ The seven bills for the amendment and consolidation of the Criminal Law, the Public "Works and Harbours Bill, the Lord Clerk Register Salary Abolition Bill, the Durham University Bill, Trustees (Scotland) Bill, Conjugal Rights (Scotland) Bill, and the Metropolitan Building Act Amend•. ment Bill went through committee. The Enlistment ia India Bill was read a third time and passed. PUBLIC OFFICES SITE BILL The house, on the motion of Lord STAN LE Y of ALDERLEY, went into committee on this bill, which, after some remarks by Lord REDES DALE, b the effect that the arrangements for the site of the Foreign-office wore defective, and likely to be attended with additional cost to the public, passed through that stage. PENSIONS BRITISH FORCES (INDIA) BILL. This bill, on the motion of Earl DE GREY, passed through committee, and the house resumed. The Public Works (Ire'and), the Edinburgh University, the Inland Revenue, the Stamp Duties on Probates, &c., and the Revenue Departments Account Bills went through committee. Lord REDESDALE called their lordships' attention to a bill called the Newspaper Bill, which the noble lord op posite (Lord Strathecien) was about, without notice, to move that it be read a second time. Now that was taking their lordships by surprise, and the more especially as the bill was rejected by the House of Commons last session, the numbers being 36 to 10. Lord STRATHE DEN said he should explain to-morrow the course he intended to pursue. The Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill and other bills were introduced and read a first time ; and their lord ships adjourned at seven o'cicck. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. THE MEG .ERA TRANSPORT.—THE CASE OF THOMAS CARTER. In reply to General BT•CKLF, Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he inquired at the 'War Department relative to the Megtera, bat there had been no intelligence received in respect to that vessel. Ho availed himself of that opportunity to make a statement in reference to the man, Thomas Carter, who had been committed to prison as a vagrant at Ity-de, in the Isle of Wight. Ho said on a former occasion that the committing magistrate had informed him that a copy of the evidence against the person had been forwarded to the Home-office, and it had since been received. On reading it, he considered that the imprisonment which Thomas Carter had already under gone was sufficient, and he had directed his release. (Hear, hear.) PAROCHIAL BURGH SCHOOLS (SCOTLAND) (No. 2) BILL. The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and agreed to. OFFICERS OF RESERVE (ROYAL NAVY) BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, Mr. LINDSAY said that he had received communica tions from France to the effect that the statement on the part of her Majesty's Government relative to the alleged increase of the navy in France was totally unfounded, and that the Emperor of the French had ex pressed a strong desire that there should be an amicable understanding in reference to this matter. Mr. STANILAND appealed to the Government, before the session closed, to inform the house and the country whether there was the slightest chance of any such arrange ment being concluded between the two Governments as that to which the hon. member for Sunderland had referred. (Hear.) France and England seemed by a process of finan cial exhaustion to be trying to discover which could expend most money in increasing its armaments. There was no thing to justify the course which France was pursuing in this respect. It was only due to the taxpayers of this coun try, who were ready to bear every needful bu rden for the national defence, that they should learn from her Majesty's Government whether any attempt had already been or would g b o r i n n g b e a t w b o e u e n t s t o h m e e two limitation co u n tri e o s f . tshtiellrbueinmouadseriwvairrytinvoiwewgot ion Lord C. PAGET only wished to say, in answer to the remarks of the hon. member for Sunderland as to the com parative armaments of France and England, that the state ments which his noble friend and he had made the other day had reference to a totally different period from that to which the hon. member had alluded when he gave the house the information that he had obtained regarding the French dockyards. The hon. member for Sunderland, as ho under stood him, had caused certain parties to go and insrect the French dockyards. Now, the Government were perfectly aware that early during the present year there was no con siderable progress making in those 10 additional iron-cased ships. But since that date an order had been given to all the French dockyards to proceed with those ships; and the statement made by his noble friend had reference to that circumstance. In regard to the matter really before the house—viz., the third reading of the Officers of the Naval Reserve Bill, he must say he did not think his hon. friend had done justice to his remarks concerning those officers the other evening. He had distinctly stated that he was quite sure the Admiralty would consult the feelings of the senior officers and old captains of the merchant service who entered the naval reserve, and that if they should be called upon in time of war it would be the duty of the Admiralty, as far as possible, to avoid putting them in a situation that would be derogatory to their professional standing or character. (Hoar, hear.) He was sure that no Board of Admiralty would ever think of offering any affront to those officers. On the contrary, the desire would be to be place then. in an honourable position if ever they should be called upon for active service. It was impossible for him now to make a prospective arrangement as to what should take place in the unfortunate event of war. (Hear, hear.) He could only say that the Admiralty accepted the services of these gentlemen with the highest possible gratification. He hoped and believed that they would come forward t oin great numbers to serve their country as the rest o f their cads countrymen had done, and he would earnestly beseech them, as he would beseech his own brother o fficers, to a t aside all the ancient antagonism and jealousy which that there had, unhappily, prevailed.

(A laugh.) The noble l e o p r ee d preparations going on there, the p rogress then as special agent i dtha twhen t France the hon. ascertain n member correct describedofnava b e ing made in the French d oc k yards was but that since then, or three months afterwards, a vast augmentation in those preparations had taken plate. Would it not be reasonable to infer that the magnitude of our preparations had provoked the increased activity of France ? He would ask when was the rivalry to cease, and could not some understanding be come to between the two countries to put an end to a state of things which sooner or later must lead to a collision ? Lord PALMERSTOII.-My hen, f r iend has drawn e conclusion which is not warranted by the facts nor by the ✓statement of my noble friend. He infers that because th e active execution of these new ships had not begun when the inquiries of the hon. member for Sunderland were made, therefore the subsequent commencement of these ;hips was owing to our preparations. Now, in point of fact we made no preparations, because the orders which have been issued for casing some wooden ships, and for commencing the con struction of some iron vessels, are very recent and subse quent to what the French Government has done, and are founded upon what that Government has done. (Hear.) But the real history of the case is this, as I said the other even ing :—ln December last the French Government took a re solution to construct 10 iron ships in addition to the six which were known to us before. They had doubts as to the proper mode of construction, and those doubts were to be solved by experiments which were to be made by the Gloire, which was afloat. They remained from that time until May in suspense, and it was not until May that, having settled certain doubtful points which were not settled before, and which were only decided by the cruise of the Gloire, orders were given actively to proceed with these 10 armed ships. The keels were then laid down, and proceedings com menced. And, therefore, as my noble friend said, the inves tigation made by the hon. member for Sunderland took place at a time when the order had been determined upon, but not actually given to the dockyards, and anybody going to the dockyards then would see nothing, because there was nothing to see. The statements made by my noble friend and myself at a later period referred to the actual com mencement of these ships. Now, as to the other question —one of great im portance—whether the British Govern ment could not enter into communication with any foreign Government—for it must not be confined to France—bu with any foreign Government, with a view to impose a limit upon the respective naval forcos of the two countries, that is a more important question, of great difficulty, and open to much criticism. (Rear.) I think that, although at the first blush it appears to be a practicable thing —I think that any British Government would long pause and hesitate before it entered into any agreement with foreign countries limiting the amount of force, naval or military, which this country ought to maintain. (Hear, hear.) We should judge of that amount according to the circumstances of the moment. Any agreement must be with several foreign Powers, because it is not France alone that is a naval Power. There is Russia, the United States, Spain, which is grow ing in importance, and other states which have navies, and therefore any limitation of our own force must be made with a view not only to the naval power of France, but to any possible combination of other Powers. Such an ar rangement would, I think, lead to interminable doubts and disputes. (Hear.) We must have officers watching them, and they must have officers watching us; there would be doubts and suspicions of bad faith, and, instead of laying the foundations of peace, we should, I fear, be sowing the seeds of future interminable dissensions. (Hear.) The bill was then read a third time and passed. The Probate and Letters of Administration Act (Ireland) Amendment Bill was read a second time. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were con sidered and agreed to :—Tramways (Ireland) Act Amend ment, Naval Medical Supplemental Fund Society, Salmon Fisheries, and Dealers in Old Metals. The order for tho second reading of the Marriages (Ire land) Bill was discharged. EDUCATIONAL GRANTS. Lord PALMERSTON having moved that the housa at its rising do adjourn till 2 o'clock to-morrow (this day), Mr. NEIVDEGATE asked the Vice-President of irie. Committee of Education for some information as to the mode in which the grants were distributed to the British and Foreign Schools. Mr. LOWE said the questions referred to the manage ment of Dissenting schools, and were abstract questions, in tended to give rise to controversy. As the Education Com.. Mittee had a great deal of business to attend to, which they could hardly overtake, they declined to be drawn into an abstract discussion by a member of one sect as to the mode in which they dealt with another sect. If they did this the Privy Council Education Committee would be the battlefield of rival sects, and much would be stirred up. After a few words from Mr. WHALLEY on the subject of a notice of motion which he had given, but which the SrEAKER rulad to be out of order on the present occasion, The motion was agreed to, and The house adjourned, at a quarter past 6, until 2 o'clock to-morrow (this day).
