LATV INTELLIGENCE--(This Day.) HOUSE OF LORDS. APPEAL.-•MONEYFENNY V. MONEYPENNY. This is an appeal from a decree of the Lord Chancellor. The question involved in this appeal is whether the above named respondent, Susannah Moneypenny, is entitled to be admitted a creditor on the personal estate of the Rev. Philip Moneypenny, late of Maytham Hall, in the parish of Kel• venden, in the county of Kent, devised in respect of an annuity of 300 under her marriage settlement. The Lord Chancellor varied the Vice-Chancellor Wood's order to the effect of admitting the respondent Susannah Moneypenny, a specialty creditor on the personal estate of the said Philip Moneypeny for the said annuity of X3OO. The appellant appealed. Mr. Daniel, Q.C., was heard for the respondent. At the conclusion of the arguments, the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. EVANS V. M(LOUGHLA'N. At the conclusion of arguments of counsel this afternoon the Lord Chancellor reversed the interlocutors of the second division, and remitted the case back to the Court of Session, in Scotland. POLICE INLELLMENCE—(This Day). MARLBOROUGH STREET. ROBBERY BY AN OFFICER'S SERVANT.—George Gil lard, a private of the 11th Hussars, but acting as servant to Mr. Fremantle, an officer of the 11th Hussars, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a watch from the pan try of his master's residence, 15, Tilney-street, Park-lane, 92' the watch being the property of Robert Batson, a fellow servant. From the evidence of Batson it appeared he missed his watch from the place in the pantry where he had left it, and reported it about the house among the servants, and the prisoner expressed his sorrow at his loss. A constable was afterwards called in by Captain Fremantle, and he gave him a description of the watch. Prisoner begged not to be prosecuted, saying that, although he took it, he did not do so with the intention of stealing it. He subsequently went with the prisoner to prisoner's brother, and the pri soner there gave him up the watch. Ensign Fremantle, of the 11th Hussars, said the pri soner bad been his servant about nine months, travelling with him from place to place. Returning from the theatre the previous night, and hearing that the prisoner, who was his groom, was still in the house, and that he had been charged with stealing Batson's watch, he asked how that was, and was told by Batson that as he had got his watch back he did not wish to prosecute. He, therefore, gave the prisoner into custody. Captain Fremantle was his (Mr. Fremantle' s) brother. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. READING STEEPLECHASES--TnuitsDAy.

No change took place in the value of Malt, but the-trade was in a most inactive state. We have to report a steady, but by no means active, in quiry for oats, at full quotations. Beans and peas were dull, but Rot cheaper. Although the supply of foreign flour continues large, the trade was firm, at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS - WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

GALLANT LIFEBOAT SERVICES. We have been favoured with the following par ticulars, written by Dr. Waddy, who was an eye witness of the.scenes he so graphically describes, of the gallant and persevering services of the Carnsore lifeboat., belonging to the National Li eboat Insti tution, in rescuing 19 persons from the bark Guyana, of Glasgow, which was wrecked off Greenore Point on Sunday, the 10th inst, during a heavy gale of wind : " During the entire day and night of Saturday, Fthe 9th inst., it blew a terrific gale from the N.E., -accompanied with very heavy rain, of the character of melted snow; the country was inundated, and the roads, previously very had, were swimming with water. About 2 a.m., Sunday morning, the coxswain of the lifeboat of the National Lifeboat Institution at Carnsore reported to me, as hon. secretary of this branch of the institution, that a ship's light was visible in the N.E., and that the distance, the dark. ness, and the storm prevented the position of the ship from being ascettained. The coxswain was directed to assemble his crew, and to obtain as many horses as he would deem requisite, from the bad condition of the roads and the devious route, and to be ready to start on the first intelligence of any probability of successful service, From the fury of the weather it, was utterly impossible to take any boat directly to windward from the lifeboat house. About 2.30 a.m., Chief Officer Barrett sent a com munication to the coxswain that a ship was on shore off Greenore Point, too far off for his rocket line to be of use, and to bring the lifeboat. Soon after the coxswain started with the lifeboat and carriage, drawn by seven horses, but owing to the pitchy darkness, of the night, to the storm, to the bad state of the roads, and to the necessarily circuitous route, the boat did not arrive at the neatest part of the coast accessible by roadway to the boat carriage till 9 a.m.; the boat and carriage were then on the top of a clay bank or cliff, about 80 feet high, and at an angle of 75 deg. above the level of the beach and water below. Inspecting Commander of Coastguard W. L. Partridge, R.N., tlae Receiver of Wreck at Wexford ; W. Coghlan, Esq., Collector of Customs; the Hon. Sec., and Chief Officer James Barrett, met the coxswain at the top of the cliff. The Inspect ing Commander directed the launching of the life boat off the carriage and down the face of the cliff expeditiously and successfully, and the boat was immediately launched into the surf by aid of rolling skids and by hand, about three quarters of a mile to leeward of the ship (now lying dismantled, with her boats washed away and houses swept off the deck, and her masts and yards under her bows), and proceeded to wind ' ward with Commander Partridge and Chief Officer Barrett on board. At noon the boat arrived about 60 yards from the ship, but at this point the sca was so heavy, and the current and the wind so strong, that the crew, after contending with all their might for half an hour, without gaining one inch, were compelled to let the boat fall back, and come to an anchor where the sea was less rough. At 1.15 p.m. the lifeboat e gain attempted to ap proach the ship, and was again compelled to relin quish the attempt. At 2 p.m. a third attempt, with double-banked oars, was made with success, and the boat was pulled to windward of the ship, the anchor_ was - dropped,. and the-boat was veered down- to, and the peittple weretaken from the wreck, some of whom were talOrio- the inawnik, and 'some. on the wreck of the masts and yarda,Ahe starboard bow ands***itl'iide - Of:the ship:44ratry of.th.em were go-pill:6li exil4iisted froth cold iWer,; and, fatiOb that, they'had to be carefully assisted into theloat. The 1 i fektat "Wlrk'' 'St the spars, - the . 'weak and - helpless idei-44i1-ieftitty stowed, and all were brought safely to the beach, after five hours and a half of hard work and expo sure, none of the crew of the lifeboat having had time or opportunity to take food or refreshment from the night previous. The presence of Com mander Partridge and of Chief Officer Barrett on board, was of great advantage in keeping up the resolution of the lifeboat crew to effect the saving of the people, and in giving the best advice and assistance in passing the easternmost point of the Carig Rocks, where the lifeboat was compelled to receive the broken water on her starboard beam. The proceedings were witnessed by some hundreds of country people, who flocked to the beach after morning prayers, and who gave assistance to the people brought on shore from the sh;p, who con sisted of the master and 16 sailors, one young gen tleman passenger, and one 'stowr.way.' Some of them had their feet and limbs swollen for some days, from the cold and exposure. It was pain ful to witness such a scene, but it is pleasureable to relate exertions so successfully made." The cost of this lifeboat was presented to the National Life boat institution by a lady who was saved from drowning on the Irish coast, about two years and a half ago. TILE MARQUIS OF B U7'E AND T‘LE LAW COURTS. In consequence of the injunction of the Court of Chancery against Colonel Stuart, restraining him from prosecuting any further proceedings in Scot land relative to the Marquis of Bute, Lady Eliza beth Moore has presented a petition to the Court of Session, praying that Court to appoint a tutor ad litern to represent and protect the i nterests of the pupil in so far as they are affected by proceed ings under the petition of General Stuart. The petition stated that this step was the more called for as notices of appeal to the House of Lords had been given by parties both in the Court of Chancery and Court of Session. On receiving Lady E. Moore's petition, the Court of Session appointed Colonel Stuart, tutor-at law, to lodge a minute. and a minute was accord ingly lodged, in which Colonel Stuart stated that he had been advised that he was not prevented by the injunction of the Vice-Chancellor from appearing in the House of Lords, and defending there the judgments of the Court of Session, and that it was his intention to carry the judgments of Vice-Chan cellor Stuart by appeal to the House of Lords. In these circumstances the Court of Session on Tues day refused the motion of Lady Elizabeth Moore, in respect of the statement the tutor-at-law had made. In giving judgment, The Lord Justice Clerk said that had the Court been able to receive as substantially accurate the report presented to them by Lady Elizabeth Moore of the observations of the Vice-Chancellor in giving his late decision, and had the tutor-at-law not dis claimed the views and statemeirs imputed to tl e Vice-Chancellor, to the effect " that the defendant, Colonel Crichton Stuart, whose name appears to active litigant in the Scotch coart, seems to be a reluctant and helpless actor in these proceedings," a very serious question would have been raised on the present motion. The Court were the more disposed to receive that statement of the tutor-at law with perfect reliance, becaus-, other portions of the report ware obviously quite inaccurate ; for, said his lordship, it put into the mouth of the Vice-Chancellor statements which it was impos sible that any one so distinguished, not only for his learning and ability, but also for the care, accu racy, and precision of his judgments, could have been led into even by the misrepresentations of the parties before him. Adverting to the all 'ged statement of the Vice-Chancellor, to the effect that the Court of Session had . neglected its guardianship, his lordship said that the facts, as appearing from the proceedings of this Court, which were before the Vice-Chancellor, were as nearly as possible precisely the reverse of what was represented in the reported speech. It was further, he said, out of the question to receive as accurate a report which ascribed to the learned judge such a statement as this—that the Great Seal of Great Britain " is as much the Great Seal of Scotland as of England ;" for such a statement would imply ignorance of the terms of the Treaty of Union, which made it perfectly clear (in Article 24) that the Great Seal of Great Britain represents the whole United Kingdom of Great Britain in so far as regards all treaties and public acts, but has power within England alone "in all other matters," while the Great Seal of Scotland is to have effect in Scot land in all matters other than treaties and acts of the United Kingdom. We are not prepared to indicate, nor do we feel, the slightest want of con fidence in the tutor-at-law. He holds his office subject to the control of the Court; for any dere liction or neglect of duty he is liable to be removed from office by the Court; and he must, of c ourse, be well aware that his protection of his pupil o 's f big terest under the appeals is just as much official duty as the management of hie a p is s r t e t a e t m e est ates in e Scotland.

We have not disposed, and cannot dispose, of his petition until the facts are ascertained; when they are we shall pay respect to the decrees of the Court of Chancery which I am sure we feel, and which is consistent with our duty in exercising our own jurisdiction. Meantime, the Court see no sufficient ground for appointing a tutor ad litem, or interfering in any way with the admi nistration of his office by the tutor-at-law. IMPERIAL PA RIJA Al EN 'l'.

CONSTRUCTIVE NOTICES BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. THE ELECTIVE FRANCHISE. Lord STRATHEDEN said the notice he had given was to call attention to the report of the committee of last year on the reduction of the franchise, and to move for a return of the forty shilling freeholders, by which he meant the free holders above that limit in each county in England and Wales. If the notice only gave an opportunity to those who took an active part on the committee of stating the impres sions to which the evidence had led them, he should not repent of having put it on the paper. This was the very mo ment when such impressions might be brought before the country with advantage. At that vet y moment as he spoke the attitude of the country on the question of reform was neutral and deliberative. That attitude was shared by Op position and by Government. All three might very soon be forced into a different one, which it would then be vain to seek to influence or modify. (Hear, hear.) Beyond this it should never be forgotten that the immediate purpose of the committee vanished, because the bill it was intended to throw light upon expired before its labours were concluded. Considering that 54 witnesses were called, that 3,770 ques tions were put, and that the inquiry stretched into a period of almost nine weeks, those labours ought not to pass too soon into oblivion. The country might fairly ask what line of policy it tended to advance, and how far that line was upheld by views beyond the scope of the inquiry. He had meant at first to touch upon the evidence of the revising barristers who had been summoned, but on reflection he would leave that point to those who had examined them. The further observations which he had to make would be trii'ected to support the return for which he moved ; and on ethis point he , hoped the noble lord, the President of the L ...euncil, would grant him that indulgence which it wo u ld ' e tee . perhapeepeesumpte4 e teuse..eetpect from many of their , . re'rdships. The kind of ground on which he asked for the return was, that as they could not stand still for any time after what had happened, occasional reform and compre hensive legislation were the only lines open to the country, and the more so because to stand still for any time was but another phrase for comprehensive legislation, which it must inevitably lead to; that the reduction of the borough franchise was beset by difficulties almost insurmountable, and on this point the evidence was cogent; that the county franchise was a safer field in which to move, but that re duction of it was impossible until you had a document to show the number of the freeholders compared with the number of the occupying voters which a twenty-pound or a ten-pound limit would occasion. -As regards the borough franchise it was clear to most of those who are conversant with it that you must either keep it as it is, advance it to a point by which the power of the middle classes would be neutralised, or introduce the inequality between those above a certain rental and those beneath it, which great reasoners have pointed to, but which the public had not yet con sidered with attention. It was not too much to state that the county franchise was entitled to precedence in the question. But as the effect of what had been said turned upon occasional reform, he meant by such a phrase that course of dealing separately with the features of the subject, according to the exigencies of the time and the opinions of the country, which the present Minister had declaied to be his policy before the general election of 1857, and from which he had deported since—how far with credit to himself the historian of 1860 might determine. In favour of that policy there was one well-known pre sumption, although too much weight ought not to be attached to it. It had been already sanctioned by the Legislatute. On this prinCiple the Irish franchise was extended in 1850 by the influence of one Government, and the qualification of members was in 1858 abolished by the influence of another Government. (Hear, hear.) A more serious presumption by far, in favour of that policy is, that the plan of a new and comprehensive, or as it was termed in the jargon of the day, a reconstructive settlement, had been attempted four times with uniform disgrace to all the Governments who ventured on it. It was needless to remind them that the Government of 1852, after finding its scheme an object of severe animadversion from every quarter of the Press and the, public, although much might be urged in its defence, in ten days renounced the desperate position it was placed in ; that the Government of 1854 was forced by a concurrence of all parties to withdraw their measure of Reform on the eve of the Russian war, and never regained the credit they had lost by this unstates - manlike and ill-timed proposition; or that the Government of 1859 was out .voted in their measure, and in vain ap pealed to a general election to reverse the judgment of the House of Commons. It was still less necessary to remind them of what occurred in 1860 On this subject. The unfore tunate reception by which these new settlements of Reform were strangled in their cradles could not be ascribed to want of talent in the Cabinets which framed them. They could not be ascribed to any temporary causes. The more their failure was examined, the more it would be traced to causes which survive, and of which the operation may be confidently reckoned on. He would touch on one or two in passing. They must array against them the hostility of Parliament, because they threatened dissolu tion. They must excite the opposition of the day into activity, because on projects so ambitious and so vulnerable far more than on any other, the Government advancing them might be successfully attacked. They must also snore or less create disunion in the Cabinet which forms them, because unless you have an object to pursue, and principle to go upon, as you had in 1832, no twelve states men can agree on what ought to be the nature of the set tlement. They must excite some degree of popular resent ment out of doors when they affect stability and perma nence, and when some changes are excluded from them which interest electors more than any other, but which the statesmen of our day are all united in opposing. (Hear, hear.) But when the line of occasional reform is con trasted with that of a new settlement, it suggests a further observation. It was the line of policy conceived to be established, as far as their opinions are revealed, by all enlightened statesmen of all important parties from 1832 to 1851. Except among the school who openly avowed that their object was to concentrate the power or the State in the working classes by means of universal suffrage, no one ever dreamt of a new settlement till the Ministe r of the d n 1851 engaged himself to offer one. The shock which all e Europe received from the fall of the French into extended its vibrations to this country. forced upon the activity passions which had slept, a an s had been forgotten.

From 1833 to 1851 the intention of the country seemed to be never to allow itself to be engrossed in a general discussion of the question, upon what ground to form its representative assembly . The convulsions of two years were the price advanced for many calculated benefits. Among those calculated benefits ' was immunity in all time to come, rot indeed from the existence, but at least from the supremacy of that inflam matory topic which ha'a brought society to the verge of civil war, and placed the country in the feeblest position it could hold towards European Powers. If that intention was a prudent one, if it was clouded for a certain time by unfortunate events and by untoward pledges, if the events have passed and if the pledges are exploded, what is there to prevent the national conviction from again recovering the firmness and distinctness which origi nally marked it ? When in practice it has twice led to sound results without the medium of disturbance, while four times a tentative departure from it has been at once calamitous and fruitless, what is there to prevent the country from reverting to its first ideas, Cor roborated by its subsequent experience ? (Hear.) But these were mere presumptions in favour of the line which he adverted to. But what are the precise and palpable a d v antages it has over the attempt at a new settlement ?
