understood to have relinquished his intention of tarrying for the night." MR. ERSKINE. "The Hon. Henry Erskine was remarkable for ready humour and repartee. Meeting in London the celebrated Duchess of Gordon, he said to her, Are we never again to enjoy th e honour of your Grace's society in Edinburgh ?' Oh, Edinburgh is a vile dull place ; I hate it,' responded the Duchess. Madam,' said Erskine. the sun might as well say, There's a vile dark morning ; I won't rise to-day. '—A late Earl of Kelly was relating in a company that he bad listened to a sermon in Italy, in which the preacher described the alleged miracle of St. Anthony preaching to the fishes, which, in order to listen to him, held their heads out of the water. I can believe the miracle,' said Erskine, if your lordshi was at church.' I was certainly there,' said the peer. 'Then,' rejoined Henry, ' there was at least one fish out of the water.'— On a change of ministry, Erskine Was appointed to succeed Harry Dundas (subsequently Lord Melville) as Lord Advocate. On the morning of his ap- Pointment he met Mr. Dundas in the Parl iament House, who had resumed the ordinary gown worn by all practi tionerset the Scottish Bar, excepting the Lord Advocate and Solicitor-General. After a little conversation, Erskine r emarked that he must be off to order his silk gown. "lie not Worth your while,' said Dundas, for the short time You'll w an t it ; you had better borrow mine.' I have no doubt your gown,' replied Erskine, is made top any -Party; but, however short may be my time in office, it shall not be said of Henry Erskine that he put on the abandoned habits of his p re d e oessors.'—Mr, A— B — r, a judge of the Commissary Court, talked in an inflated and pompous manner. Having failed to attend an appointment with Erskine, he subsequently explained that he had been called out of town owing to his brother, the proprietor of B—, ' l aving, in attempting to leap a fence, fallen from a stile, and sprained his foot. It was fortunate for your. broth er ,' said the wit 'that it was not from your style he fell, or he had certainly broken his neck.'—Shortly after the death of Mr. John Wright, a talented but unsuccessful advocate, the late Sheriff Anstruther remarked to Erskine at the street, Poor Wright is dead. He has died very Poor, It is said he has left no effects.' That is not won derful,' replied the humorist ; 'as he had no causes he could have no effects.' " LEARNED L ANGUAGE. " The use of learned phrases by persons who do not thoroughly comprehend their meaning is a fruitful source of the ludicrous. I don't know him,' said a Glasgow ,fl.lagnate, in speaking of a less prosperous citizen. I be lieve he is a good enough fellow in his way, but he is not of the hong-kong.' This opulent gentleman probably in tended to use the words haut ton.—' Where is your son James?' inquired an old acquaintance of a widow lady in toxburghshire. He's gone to Galashids,' said the lady, 'to be a malefactor' (manufaclurer).—From an evening party at Dundee, the Misses —, sisters, Were accompanied to their residence by two young gentlemen, who, according to usage, paid their respects on the following day. Having experienced consider able fatigue at the party, the ladies requested their aged mother to inform visitors that they were indisposed. This expression was novel to the worthy matron, and was readily forgotten; she informed the young gentlemen, in reply to their inquiries, that the Misses were deceased. Deceased!' exclaimed both the gentlemen at once, utterly appalled. ' Deceased, do you say ? and both of them too !' Both,' replied the mother. The gentle men retired, tendering condolence. The melancholy tidings spreod over the place ; and the astonishment of the public may be imagined, when the young ladies were next day seen en aoying their usual walk. The origin of the rumour was explained ; but the poor Misses were afterwards re e?gaised as the deceased ladies.—' I wormer,' sad the wife of a Stirlingshire farmer to an acquaintance—' I woliner What that Cakinism is that cures the rheumatism ar d a' hind o' diseases.' Galvanism was the word intended.—A :farmer in the parish of C—, Forfarshire, remarked in compliment to the Rev. Mr. H—, of K—, that he was a great augmentation to a dinner party.' Acquisition was robably the word meant.—' He's a very offensive man, the octor ; 'deed he is, ma'm,' said an eldeLly parishioner to the lady of the Rev. Dr. N —r, of G—w. There was al? omission of a syllable, the word inoffensive being ob- Viously intended.—An elder of the late Rev. Mr. Oliphant, of Dumbarton, resolving to 'day the reverend gentleman a Compliment, said to him, at the close of the service one Sabbath, ' I've seldom, sir, heard ye preach with sic ani mosity.' The phrase blundered was animation." Business Life ; the Experience. of a London Trades man. Honiston and Wright. This is a singular little volume, which, notwith standing its eccentricities, contains a good many pieces of practical advice, which the inexperienced or ignorant may follow with profit. It professes to narrate the experiences of a London tradesman, 'who has carried on business for 12 years and en countered many vicissitudes. If we are to take his Own assertion he is gifted with peat energy and considerable talent, but as he pleads guilty to a love of speculation and an inability to attend to details, we do not share the surprise he expresses at his occasional disasters. He discusses many topics of great importance to the man of business, besides giving hints for domestic life as well lie, says that he has long been con vinced that many of his misfortunes and difficulties could have been avoided had he possessed a friend of experience to guide him, or had a prac tical treatise like the present to which he could turn for instruction. No doubt there ere many of these experiences which will be aseful to others, and perhaps enable them to avoid the troubles the author encountered. His principles are highly moral and straightforward ; and some valuable pieces of advice and instruction may be gathered from this quaint but suggestive little volume. Cassell's T.' andbooks. Natural Philosophy. Rio- , cution and oratory ,imusing Pxperiments • Cassell, Petter, and Galpin. This excellent series of handbooks is likely to be of efficient assistance to the self-educator - by furnishing him with signposts on the road of knowledge and mental improvement. They give a fair outline of the subject in question, in a Concise form, and clear and simple style, thus pro viding the reader with the rudiments of knowledge, and with the means of comprehending larger and more ambitious treatises. " The Handbook of Natural Philosophy" will suggest to the mind of the young inquirer many interesting questions, which will incline him to prosecute his studies on a large scale. Those whose want of time or inclina tion forbids an extended course of study will learn from the little treatise before us some of the great principles of natural science, and acquire from its pages knowledge which they would never have sought in more elaborate volumes. The properties of matter and the laws of motion are described in turn ; then the phenomena of the elements are illus trated in a popular manner. Magnetism and elec tricity occupy, as may be imagined, a prominent place in the latter pages. The Hand-book of Elocution and Oratory has been prepared by a lady - whose name is not unknown in our dramatic world — Miss Edith Heraud. It is written with clearness and with an especial regard for practical utility. Read ing aloud in public and in private, table oratory, and speeches for occasions of social festivity are discussed successively, while the latter portion of the treatise is devoted to.the consideration of the vari ous forms of oratory required for the bar, the pulpit, the senate, the stage, and the platform. The Handbook of Amusing Experiments will bean inexhaustible source of entertainment to many intelligent young persons ; to whom, however, we should strongly recommend attention to the editor's hint of employing extreme caution in those expe riments in which fire is an agent. Shakespeare's Tragedy of Julius Cam, By the Rev. John Hunter, M.A. London. We can with pleasure commend this edition of "Julius Ciesar," and a similar one of " Henry VIII.," to the notice of all instructors of youth. It is specially intended to prepare youth for the middle-class examinations on Shakespeare ; and the former one of " Henry VIII." was found " to have successfully anticipated and provided for the requirements of the Oxford examination." From looking over the " Julius Csar," we cannot doubt that the Editor, in this, says no more than the truth. He has provided, what no other editions of Shakespeare professes to do, just what stu dious youth need, for a proper understanding and appreciation of the great poet. Shakespeare is now become a part of the English education in every good school, and certainly with the greatest Propriety. None of our great writers are so well adapted to the tutor's purposes, for giving youth a right conception of the powers of their mother tongue, and for imparting to them a just and manly literary taste. The City of London School and we le e prizes has i a consid era bl e b equest t o enc ourage the lads by suitable to the study of Shakesperian works , cannot doubt that the stimulus will prove to beof signal use to great numbers of the we boys. the nend this edition of the plays to the notice of h attracted their tutors,a ttentio if it has not hitherto A heavy failure is The liabilities reported from Moscow cf a - firm in the d r u g trad e. 250,000.

INFANTICIDE.—Yesterday Mr. G. S. Brent, n d e p u ty coroner for West Widdlcsex, held an investigation at the W a t er man's Arms, Bre ntford, into the singular cir cumstances attending the discovery of a child's body perfectly naked, taken out of the Thames, in a fisherman's net. It appeared from the evidence adduced that on the 9th inst., a fisherman, ncmed Pearce, was occupied fishing for smelts off Strand-on -the-Green, in company with the a brother, when suddenly feel in g something heavy in net they quickly drew it, under the impression of having a fine haul of fish ; but, much to their consternation they found that in place of fish they had caught the naked body of an infant. The fishermen promptly abandoned their nets and took the body to the Brentford policetation. The medical evidence wa, to the effect that the infant had received a violent blow on the left side of the head, which appeared to have been inflicted immediately after its birth, and in all probability was the cause of death.

THE MURDERER HACKED.—After the removal of this unfortunate man from the bar of the Crown Court, in the Castle of Exeter, to the county gaol, he maintained with great firmness the same calm demeanour which had so remarkably characterised him throughout the trying hours when he stood listeninc , to the evidence against him, and which conduct had excited such attention on the part of those who crowded the place. Upon his arrival in the prison he did not exhibit any difference in his bearing. That be I certainly felt the awfulness of the dreadful position in which he was placed there can be no doubt; but the mas tery which he exercised over his countenance prevented anyone from detecting what were his real sentiments, He has not yet been informed of the day on which he will have to satisfy offended justice, nor is it probable that it w i ll b e fixed until the conclusion of the assizes, or at least the oti : rcinal cases in the Crown Court, South Staffordshire ..'

FLEMING AND OTHERS. At the conclusion of the arguments of counsel on both sides in this case, the Lord Chancellor reserved judgment. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices of Appeal.) APPEAL.--JUDGMBNT.---LITHBRIDGE Y. LITHBRIDGE. The contention in this case was whether the appellant, under the will of his father, Sir T. B. Lithbridge, was entitled to the park at Sandhill, and also the garden, of 100 acres, stock, &c., along with the mansion -house, under the word " premises" thereto belonging. Their lordships were of opinion that under the devise in the will the appellant was entitled both to the park and garden in question, and directed the receiver to give an account of the rents and profits, and pay them over to the appellant, and decreed accordingly with costs out of the estate. PETITION or APPEAL-JUDGMENT-JOHNSON V. GAL LAGHER-JOHNSON V. CIZENOVE. The question raised in this case was whether a married woman living separate from her husband can contract gene ral debts legally to attach her separate estates. The debt in question, £lOO, was for household furniture, &c. Their lordships in delivering judgment were of opinion that a married woman living separate from her husband can not only contract special debts, but also general debts, which will attach her separate real and personal estate, but no decree can be made against her in this case in respect that the mortgage debt exhausts the separate estate. Their lordships discharged the decree of the Vice-Chan cellor, and the attachment under the decree, and dismissed the bill and appeal with costs. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd.) IN nn AGATE.-AN UNNECESSARY BANKRUPTCY. This bankrupt had carried on business at Emswort4 Hants, as a corn dealer, grocer, &c., and to-day was appointed for his last examination. The bankruptcy appeared to be unnecessary, as it wa stated that the bankrupt could have paid 20s. in the pound had he not been harshly pressed. The balance-sheet, by Mr. Butler, commences March, 1860, and ends December, in the same year, and shows a surplus in March of £473 and he now owes £2,937, against which he set down bona fide good debts £724 cash, £66 property, £1,670 of stock, lease, furniture, &c., but on the forced sale there was a loss of £1,174. The profits were set down at £1,044, and the bad debts only £2l. The trade expenses £459, domestic £220, so that he was carrying on a thriving trade, had he not been unduly forced by one creditor. The bankrupt passed without opposition. IN RE WAGSTAFF. This bankrupt was described as of Fenchurch-street, wharfinger, and to-day was appointed for his last exami nation. Mr. J. B. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, appeared for the assignees, and asked for an adjournment, on the ground that no accounts had been filed. Adjourned accordingly. IN RE ABEL SMITH. This bankrupt was an engineer, and Mr. Sorrell now applied under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that 1 reperty of the value of £6OO had been about to be sold, but his Honour stayed the sale to afford an inquiry as to a claim made by some creditors for money lent. They now offered to give up all claims on the property, on being pay a small sum of money, and he now applied for a sum mons to examine the creditors as to the debt. His Honour thought that it was unnecessary to put the estate to that expense. Mr. Sorrell said the expense would be greater by further delay. Summonses were thereupon granted. IN RE WRITEBREAD. This bankrupt had carried on business in Duke-street, Smithfield, and he was adjourned sine die, as he had not prepared his accounts; protection was granted for six weeks which having expired, Mr. Lucas, instructed by Mr. Drew, Ba singhall-street, applied for further protection. His Honour refused until satisfactory accounts were filed. Mr. Warrand, Bashinghall street, applied for a certifi cate to take the bankrupt into custody, but his Honour refused for the present. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. DOUBTFUL CHARGE.—Kate Mears, a young woman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a silver watch and breast-pin of the value of £7 10s. from the person of Samuel Jackson, a servant, at 26, Hill-street, Berkeley-square. The prosecutor said he was walking up Park-lane about half•past eleven the previous night when the prisoner asked him for a penny. He told her he was in a hurry to get home, and could not stop to speak to her, but gave her a penny, and then walked on. The prisoner, however, continued to follow him to the top of Hay's-mews, where he spoke to her for about three minutes, and then missed his property, and told her that if she did not give him his watch he should give her into custody, and he did so. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, prosecutor said that no one else came near them; that the watch was not found on her; and that he was on his way home from 49, Belgrave-square, where he had been to see a friend, and that on being there his watch was safe. Prisoner said the prosecutor first spoke to her, that he asked her to go down the mews, but that she never saw his watch. Cooper, 75 C, said that on being given in charge, 30 yards from the mews, prisoner denied having the watch, and it was not found. The prisoner gave a false address. A. female in court said that was not true, the prisoner lodged with her at the address she gave. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he did not see what case there was against the prisoner. She appeared to have very little opportunity to take the watch. He thought prosecutor must have lost his watch before getting to Park-lane. The prisoner was then discharged. VHS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. Fresh up, to-day, the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate, but there was an increased show of sam ples in good condition. For both red and white qualities the trade ruled firm, and Monday's advance in the quo tations was well supported. The imports of foreign wheat are somewhat restricted, and considerable firmness was observed in the demand for all descriptions. In some instances prices were decidedly in favour of sellers. Floating cargoes of grain realised fully previous rates. Fine barley was held at previous rates ; but all other kinds were very difficult of sale, even at low prices. The transactions in malt were of a limited character, on former terms. Oath were in fair request, at the full prices of Men day. Beans moved off slowly, but without change in value. Peas were steady, and all kinds realised late currencies. The flour trade was firm, and prices were fully sup ported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

Zingari 2 Queen Bee Four ran. HERBERT HANDICAP. Lord of the Manor.. Queen Bee Philomela despatch the noble lord desired Sir James Hudson to keep his eye on Louis Kossuth, and he in a spirit that showed he was a proper English representative, replied that ho considered it no part of his duty to carry out that instruction. He also condemned the course pursued by the Government in their instruc tions relative to the Genoese Railway of which Kossuth was a director, and praised Sir James Hudson in reference to the matter. This policy was of a piece with the pro ceedings that had taken place in regard to the Hun garian notes, and was intended to crush the liberty of Hungary, a country which contained 15,000,000 inhabitants, and 20,000 square miles more than England and Wales. This policy was intended to be a counterpoise to France, but he deprecated such policy as being most unjust and unwise considering the feelings which the Emperor of the Erench had shown towards this country. He had seen a letter from Turin [recently, from which it appeared that Austria propose to get up an apparentinsurrection in Hungary, in order to place that country under martial l aw , an d h e called on the house not to sanction a policy that would lead to a continuance of the present enslaved situation of Hungary. Mr. C : BENTINCK asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether information was received from Sir J. Hudson, previous the 31 s t d ay o f A ugus t l as t, t o th e effect that the exped ition . of Ge nera l Garibaldi was secretly assisted by the Sardinu.m Government ; and whether the Foreign O ffi ce di d, previous to the 11th day o f September last, receive of fi cial infor mation that the S ar di n i an Govern ment contemplated the invasion or seizure of a portion of the Papal States ; and whether any and what answer was returned by the Austrian Government to the Despatch, No. 96, addressed to Lord A. Loftus, and referring to a de spatch from Consul General Perry ? He contended that Government had not been kept properly informed re lative to the movements in Italy, and designated the inva sion of Naples as a pre-concerted plan on the part of the King of Sardinia, whose agent, he contended, Garibaldi was. THE RELIGIOUS PERSECUTIONS IN SPAIN. Sir R. PEEL asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether any correspondence has taken place be tween her Majesty's Government and that of Spain re specting the imprisonment in Spain of certain per sons for religious opinions. The honourable baranet said that he did not appear before the house in regard to this subject in the character of . a person suddenly struck with religions zeal, which he dis claimed —(lauglater)—but as an advocate of civil and religious-liberty from the benefit it conferred. The only offence of which these poor men imprisoned in Spain had been guilty of was having in their pos session and using copies of the Holy Scriptures in common with other persons. He appealed in the strongest terms to the Government to interfere in the mat ter, and in the course of his observations was called to order by the Speaker for a personal allusion to Mr. Disraeli, whom he accused of making some remarks while he was speak ing, which the right hon. gentleman denied. MEXICO. Mr. BUTT asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Foreign Affairs, whether Sir C. Wyke, who was appointed on Jan. 23, 1860, Minister Plenipotentiary to the Republic of Mexico, had as yet proceeded to his mission ; and, if not, when he was likely to do so ; and whether the Foreign Office had received any official intimation of any measures adopted by the present Mexican Government to carry into effect the engagements entered into with the holders of the bonds of the Rep ublic.

Sugars h ave been 8t: pressed for sale, and prices consequently have given at' way ; holders of coffee, however, demand full st. prices, and but little business has been done. In rice moderate transactions have taken place, without material change in values. Fruit and spices have been in fair request at advanced quotations. Saltpetre has continued in moderate favour, at about previous prices. The tallow e t; market has continued inactive, particularly for sty present delivery, and a downward movement has et / taken place in quotations, P.Y.C-, on the spot, et: being at 595. 6d. At the public sales of foreign B, 3 1: and colonial wool previous values have been sus- st . tained for most descriptions. Cape qualities, how- et: ever, have been in better demand. Although no further alteration has taken place et. in the condition of the money market , the rates stst: of discount still present a favourable tendency, s s t t : and as large quantities of gold are being sent t : into the Bank of England, increased easi ness is gst: anticipated. st 4 et( A further large amount of gold, viz., £36,000, s t, was sent into the Bank of England yesterday, but ' t ! 38 000 sovereigns were withdrawn for America. et( The interest has been advertised for payment on Anglo-Peravian Bonds, Brazilian 5 per Cents., and Danish 3 per Cents. eti A meeting of the Oriental Bank Corpo r at i o n has et, been called for the 22d proximo. The Bank of France has reduced its rate of discount from 7 to 6 per cent. 1 _ _ A fair amount of business was transacted in the 2 1 Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday, and prices ,t( were again a shade higher. The sales were about :V, 10,000 bales. stc The return issued by the Bank of France for the etc month ending yesterday exhibits a falling off of etc £1,100,000 in the discounts, while the advances stc have also been reduced to the extent of £640,000. st c The bullion has been augmented £ 544 , 000 . There 19. is a decrease of £533,300 in the notes, and of £1,200,000 in the current accounts, but the Treasury balances have been increased £580,000. 85 81 25 28 101; 21 2 60; 1 60.1 1 1 100 1 10 20 14} I 20 2C 84 1 2 1 _ 841 2( 591 21 21 411.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(Tms EVENING). The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. ARMS ACT (INDIA). The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition from Simla and from persons generally in India against the Indian Disarmament Act, which passed a short time ago, and which was received with great dislike by the natives. The people of Simla said that as they were situated far from any troops, and as they were continually called on to defend their property, it was unjust to deprive them of the arms. The other petitioners asserted they were permitted by the bill of rights to bear arms, and therefore it was unjust to deprive them of the privilege. Earl DE GREY and RIPON said he did not think that act was received with general dislike. The Governor- General and the Government at home felt that there was great difficulty in making distinctions between natives and Europeans in India ; but the act contained certain powers of exemption d and in the exer cise of that power, ho issued a circular to the effect that, as under certain circumstances, Europeans might fairly come under that exemption, arms might safely be left in their hands. The Government felt the Governor-General had acted wisely in so do!ng. POLAND. Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE wished to call the attention of their lordships to a statement that had appeared that morning in the public journals with respect to disturbances that had occurred in the capital of Poland. The statement was that there had been a great disorder and loss of life at Warsaw, and he could not but say that the people and the authorities that had been suddenly called up to act had done so with the greatest moderation. The question he wished to ask was whether her Majesty's Go vernment had received any official information that was calculated to give a true account of what had actually taken place, and if they had such in their possession, whether there would be any objection to lay the same on the table of the house ? Lord WODE HOUSE said the Government had received from the Consul-General at Warsaw an account of what had taken place there. Ho had received his noble friend's intimation of his intention of put ting his question so late as to prevent him communicating with the noble lord the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs. Under those circumstances he must ask the noble lord to wait until Monday for an answer to his question, as to whether or not those papers would be laid on the table. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Clithero Gas Bill was read a third time and passed, CHARITABLE USES BILL. Lord CRAN WORTH moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to improve the law with re spect to persons making charitable bequests, and altering the law of mortmain, which, in some instances, had been found to work prejudicially with respect to the intent of charities. The LORD CHANCELLOR said he would assent to the second reading of this bill, but he felt it right to say that he did so with no degree of satisfaction. The law of mortmain was no doubt in a most lamentable state, but he did not think the bill now before the house would in any great measure improve it, or remedy the evils which were so generally complained of. In order to show that there should be some check upon the definition of charters, the noble lord quoted several curious cases, amongst which was a case of a person who, by his will, left £3OO per annum to a person success ful in literature, on the condition that he should read and uphold the testator's works. The works were unknown, so the Court of Chancery had to be applied to ascertain what they were, and it was ultimets'y decided that the be quest was a public charity. Another cause was where a sum of money was left to 15 maidens between the ages of 16 and 25, the `prat i est in the parish, and those who went most regularly to church —(laughter)—and 15 spinsters with the like qualification. The great difficulty was how to make the selection, and the Court of Chancery was again applied to to how the selec tion was to be made, and whether such a bequest was a public charity. (Laughter.) The Court held that the object was a good charity, and the provisions of the bequest were carried out, excepting certain portions of it with respect to ladies going to church, so as long as the sun shines the fifteen pretty maidens and spinsters would be paid the sums bequeathed to them by the testator. Lord ABINGON opposed the bill [LEFT SPEARING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING). The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : —Bristol and South Wales Union Railway ; Dublin (City) Steam Packet Company; Dublin, Wicklow, and Wexford Railway ; Edenfield Chapel to Little Bolton Road. The Manchester and Milford Railway (Aberystwith) Bill was read a second time. SMITHFIELD MARKET, &c. On the motion of Mr. C. FORSTER, the reports relating to Smithfield Market, &c., were agreed to. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against the Parochial Assessments Act, the Abolition of Church-rates, in favour of closing public houses on Sundays, and generally against Sunday tradin g, &c. Mr. ABEL SMITH presented a petition from the inhabi- tants of Hertford, including the mayoress, clergyman, and other inhabitants of Hoddesdon, and the minister and con gregation of Independants at Hoddesdon, in favour of legalising marriage with a deceased wife's sister. RELIGIOUS PERSECUTION IN SPAIN. Sir R. PE presented a number of petitions from vari ous parts of the country, including Manchester, Bath, and Liverpool, respecting imprisonment of persons in Spain on account of expression of their religious opinions. He begged to read the petition from Liverpool, which was numerously signed by bankers, merchants, clergymen, &c., as it conveyed the general sentiment pervading the country on this subject. The hon. baronet then read the petition, which prayed the house to direct their attention to this im portant subject, in order to induce the Spanish Govern ment to rescind those statutes of their code which rendered the profession of Protestantism, under certain circum stances, penal, such a law being injurious to a cordial understanding between the two countries, and cal culated to interfere with their commercial relations. THE WARRIOR. On the motion of Sir J. SMITH a copy of every corres pondence that may have passed between the Admiralty and the contractors who built the Warrior in reference to the non- fulfilment of their contract within a stipulated time, was ordered. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a writ was ordered for the county of Sutherland, vacant by the elevation of the Marquis of Stafford to the Upper House, in consequence of the demise of his father the late Duke of Sutherland. ITALIAN CORRESPONDENCE. Mr. lIENNESSY gave notice, that on going into com mittee of supply, he would draw the attention of the house to the correspondence which had been laid on the table in reference to Italy, REMUNERAT lON OF PROSECUTORS AND WITNESSES. In reply to Col. SMYTH, Sir G. C. LEWIS said he had considered this subject, and did not think it advisable to recommend any general increase in the remuneration of prosecutors' witnesses, but he would bring in a bill to enable any county which did not think the present remuneration adequate to increase it out of the local rates. WAR EXPENSES IN CHINA. In reply to Sir S. NORTHCOTE, Mr. F. PEEL repeated the substanc e of his reply the other evening to the effect that by !this vote the expenses, ordinary and extraordinary, had been provided for at home and abroad, but he ,could not enter into further details at present. Sir S. NORTHCOTE gave notice that on going into committee of supply he would draw attention to the subject. THE BUDGET. In reply to Mr. MorrArr, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sa id that he would be able to make his financial statement early in Anti], he hoped about the 11th of that month. FO REIGN AFFAIRS. Mr. DUNCOII3E asked the Secretary of State for i Foreign Affairs t no despatches were sent to Sir J. Hud son between the 31st August and the 27th of October last ; and, if so, why those despatches were omitted in the fur ther correspondence relating to the affairs of Italy And, to ask, what were" the interests w hi c h G re at Britain ha d in the Adriatic," which the despatch o f 31st August stated her Majesty's Government must watch with carefu l attention." He said that the Government took credit for their policy intervention was all a hoax (laughter.) because tbe people of non-intervention with other countries, but that non terfered with respect to Rome or Naples , per mission to take the They had not in in those places did not ask their course they had dons. But in Austria Government had inter fered to assistthe army and to keep down those who had been tyrannised over. The contents of the despatch of Aug. 31 would not have been known ex cept that the despatch had been published in Germany. The noble lord the Foreign Secretary had stated to Sir James Hudson that this e re ' coun try 0 Groat' had interests in the Adriatic which must be watched ; but what h n one ttld from II tell, I another A to theLtanoy,iilenred:ts we nobod outdo BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, MAR. 15.
