THE ESTIMATES, Sir H. WILLOUGHBY wished to know what esti mates it was proposed to take to-night in committee of supply ? Mr. WILSON said it was proposed to commence with No. 1 in the printed estimates and go through them in their order. The estimates connected with the revenue department, which were included in the noti a on the paper to-day, could not be considered by the house until the bill on the subject had passed into a law. Mr. H. HERBERT asked when the packet service estimates were likely to be printed Mr. WILSON hoped they would be printed in a few days. MINISTER OF WAR. On the motion that the Speaker do leave the chair fur going into committee of supply, Lord J. RUSSELL took the opportunity of explain ing the views of the Government with reference to the appointment of a War Minister. He imagined that there were two questions upon this subject which had engaged the attention of the house—one was the question of giving more immediate vigour and efficiency to the War department of the State ; the other related to the arrangements to be made with respect to our various military departments which now enjoyed a divided authority. (Hear.) With regard to the first of these questions, namely, the more efficient adminis tration of military affairs in time of war, it was to be collected from general experience, while it was the opinion of the Government that it was physically and morally impossible for the Minister of the Colonial De partment to give to the affairs of the war that great amount of attention, time, and labour, which those affairs demanded. It was therefore the opinion of the Govern ment that the affairs of the War Department, instead of being united, should be entirely separated from the Colonial Department. With reference to the next question regarding the various departments which were connected with military affairs, the house was (aware that these departments were several in number, and ful filled various functions. The Secretary of State for the Colonies and War takes the Queen's pleasure with re spect to the amount of forces to be kept up for the year, and takes the Queen's pleasure likewise with regard to any considerable augmentation or reduction to be made in the army. (Hear.) The Secretary-at-War administer the financial affairs of the army. The Board of Ordnance, in the first place, has the management of the Artillery and Engineers, but there were other func tionaries which from time to time had been imposed upon that board. The Commissariat was a department of the Treasury, while there were other departments that had a more or less concern in the affairs of the army. A. committee of the house, so far back as 1832, was ap pointed to consider the propriety of uniting all these de partments, and subsequently a commission was nomi nated by the Crown to consider the subject, but it was found impossible to adopt any of the recommen dations which resulted from these two inquiries. - Under these circumstances it would be unwise for Government to undertake an adjustment of these various depart nents, and they thought it would be much better to let things remain as they are, with the single exception of appointing a Minister of War, who should be the head of all these departments, having power to suggest changes for the future that might occur to him. (Hear, hear.) There was no wish or desire, however, to interfere with the duties or functions attached to the office of Commander-in-Chief, which should never be allowed to partake of a political character. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord concluded by stating that it would not be necessary to introduce any bill to make the proposed change. Mr. HUME was glad to find Government had made a beginning, but he trusted some definite plan would be laid on the table before the proposed arrangement was carried out. His object was that there should be one head, a member of the Government ; and he wished to seo the army and ordnance recognised as a part of our great military establishment. He also wished to know if there was an order given to alter the clothing of the army. Mr. E. ELLIS said for fear our general assent here after might be taken to imply their approval of the whole measure, that measure did not certainly satisfy him. But what he thought was required with respect to our mili tary establishments altogether was that there should be one head responsibl e to this house for the expenditure of the army. He perfectly agreed with his noble friend that there should be no Party considerations attached to such an office. Mr. RICH said, in consequence of the ob serva ti ons of the nobl e l ord, he should withdraw his notice of mo tion on this subject, which he had placed on the paper for this evening. Col. DUNNE expressed his warm approval of the measure announced by the if lord. - Mr. M. GIBSON asked if it would be c ompetent f the new Secretary of Stat e to have a seat in r House of Commons ?the Lord J. RUSSELL said it w ou ld be crn p etent for such a secretary to have a seat in the h ouse. Mr. W. WILLIAMS then passed to the subject f the civil service estima t e s, wh ich he insisted had under goneo- an extravagant increase of late years. The house then went into a committee of suppl y . [LEFT SITTING.] THE EARL OF ANTRIM.—We greatly regret (says th e 11i .Belfast Whig) to have to state that the expectations generally indulged in that this nobleman would be re stored to health long ere this, have been disappointed. The noble earl remains seriously ill, and on Friday and the greater part of Saturday his indisposition has not assumed a more favourable aspect. REFORMATION OF JUVENILE CRlMlNALS.—Yesterday the quarterly general court of the governors of the Phi lanthropic i ns tit u ti on es t a bli s h e d a t Redhill Farm, Reim gate, f or th e R e f orma ti on o f J uven il e C r i m inals, wa held at th e o ffi ces o f the soc i ety, C rown - cour t, Thread needle-street, Mr. W. Gladstone in the chair. The re- Port of the Rev. Sydney Turner, the chaplain of the institution, stated that 25 boys had been admitted to it since the.last court day, and that 46 had left, of whom 24 emigrated, 20 obtained employment in England, and two had deserted, and that 182 at present remained in the school. The report having been adopted, it was, after some discussion, resolved to memorialise Govern ment for an increased Parliamentary grant, as 251., the sum at present allow e d f or the maintenance of eachboy, is not, considering the existing price of articles of food, sufficient for that purpose. Some other routine business having been transacted, the proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairman. 10 - Mi SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.) BRITISH RAILWAYS. Closing Prices this day.

WILLIAMS v. THE GP.EAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY LIABILITY oP RAILWAY COMPANIES TOR LUGGAGE. In this case the action was brought by the plaintiff for compensation. The declaration set forth that the plaintiff had booked himself from the Paddington station of the defendants' railway to Bristol for hire as common carriers, and that they had conducted themselves so negligently as that his portmanteau with its contents were lost. To this declaration the defendants pleaded that they had made a "bye-law" under their act which permitted every first-class passenger to carry 1121bs. weight of luggage free of charge, but at the same time declaring that the company would not be responsible for the same unless booked and paid for, and that the plain tiff was a first-class passenger, and had neither booked nor paid for his portmanteau and its contents. To this the plaintiff replied, that as to some of the contents they were articles of common clothing, not weighing 401b5., and of less dimensions than 3 cubic feet, and then as to the other articles that he entered a nolle prosequi. The defendants then rejoined that the portmanteau contained other articles than those of clothing, and to this the plaintiff demurred. Mr. Cowling, in support of the demurrer, said that the question raised was so raised for the purpose of having the opinion of the court as to the legality of the bye-law relied upon by the defendants' plea. He would submit that the company had no power to make the bye law, inasmuch as its terms were at variance and incon sistent with the 169th section of the company's act, the sth and 6th Wm. IV., c. 107, which allowed a passenger to take free of charge articles of clothing not exceeding 40 lbs. in weight and 4 cubit feet in extent, and limited the liability of the company, as carriers, to articles of clothing belonging to passengers, of such weight and such dimensions. By the 144th section the company were authorised to make bye-laws for the good govern. ment of the railway, provided the same be not repugnant to the laws of the country or to any directions in the act. While by 167th section of the company's act, every passenger was entitled to carry clothing to the extent of 40 lbs. weight free of charge, for which the company were declared to be responsible as common carriers, the bye-law in question not only recited that provision, but enacted that the company should not be re sponsible for any luggage, unless it had b een booked and paid for. Thus he submitted that the " bye law" was ultra vires, and therefore invalid. Hence it might well be doubted whether the plaintiff was entitled to recover not merely for the articles of clothing, but for the other articles in the portmanteau, namely, a razor, brushes, strop, and a dressing-case as necessary accompaniments to a gentleman travelling. The Lord Chief Baron said that the term " articles of clothing" should include everything requisite for a toilet. This was quite clear that as a man could not wear a razor or a brush, it was also clear that he could not dress decently without those articles. The court were clearly of opinion that the company had no power to make such a "bye-law." Yet they would hear what the other side had to say. Mr. Willes, in support of the plea, said he was im pressed with the belief that he did not represent the popular side of the question. The Lord Chief Baron—No doubt you represent the unpopular side. Mr. Willes felt that, but nevertheless he knew that his clients would obtain justice if he could, as he hoped to be able to satisfy their lordships that this bye-law was a reasonable one, and not in contravention of the general law or the provisions of the company, and he then proceeded to argue, that as regarded the obligation to "book" luggage, the bye-law must clearly be held to be reasonable, but it was so also as to the payment, and was one which under the 144th section, taken with the 189th and the 220th sections of the company's act, they had power to make. The 144th section might be ad mitted to be ambiguous. The words for " The manage ment of the said undertaking" might or might not in clude the management of the traffic and the passengers ; but taken with the other sections, the company con tended that they had power to make the bye-laws in question. The 189th section, for instance, gave power to make rules for regulating the travelling upon, and the use of, the railway, and the travellers passing on it, and for preventing the smoking of tobacco and the commis sion of nuisance thereon. Under that section the com pany might make orders for the various classes of pas sengers, and the affixing of labels on the luggage, which the passengers must submit to, and the non-compliance with which must exempt the company from responsibility in case of loss. Mr. Baron Alderson said that might be, but the bye law was a repeal of the 144th sect. of the act which allowed every passenger to carry 401bs. weight of lug gage free of charge at the risk of the company. How could the company say by a bye law they would not be liable unless luggage were booked and paid for, con sistently\vith that section I The Chief Baron—As to the rule requiring luggage to be labelled, that is quite another thing, and such a rule may be a reasonable one. Besides the company, like any other carriers, may refuse to carry the luggage ex cept on such conditions. Mr. Baron Martin said that a railway company might make a rule for the government of its business, as any of the old carriers might, but they could not make a bye law saying they would not do that which their own act said they must do. Mr. Willes said that at all events they might require the luggage to be booked. Mr. Baron Martin—That may be. The Chief Baron—They might say that first-class pas sengers must travel by first class carriages, and that ° second class passengers must travel in second class car riageS, and they might insist on their allowing their lug gage to be labelled, and placed in certain carriages, to facilitate delivery; but all these were very different mat ters from making every passenger book and pay for his . luggage, and saying they would not be responsible as carriers, unless both were done. Such a bye-la, was clearly bad. Mr. Willes said, that if the court were of that opinion it would be idle in him to contend the point further. The Chief Baron --We are all of opinion that the bye law is clearly bad. It is sufficient for us to say it is in direct contravention of the 144th section. There must, therefore, be judgment for the plaintiff. Mr. Cowling said that the case having concluded, he could not avoid expressing his surprise that the company had thought it prudent to raise this question. Mr. Baron Martin—l agree with you. I wonder at l it, too. Mr. Willes—My learned friend might be content with his judgment. Judgment for the plaintiff. BANKS T. OLLITON.—.7I7DGMBNT. The Chief Baron delivered judgment in this case, argued in a former term. The case raised two points for the consideration of the court. The first was whether a deed executed by a married woman, which had been acknowledged by her before two perpetual commissioners, appointed by the act, was invalid, by reason of the fact that one of the commissioners was a party interested in the deed. The second question was whether the proceeding, have been duly certifiA and filed as of record in the Court of Common Pleas, in pur suance of the Act for the Abolition of Fines and Re coveries, could be questioned while the certificate re mained so filed. The court was of opinion that though they thought that the rule of the Court of Common Pleas, which allowed one of the commissioners to be a party interested might be bad, as not being warranted by the statute, yet no distinct judgment might be given on the first point, as it was clear that so long as the proceedings remained in proper form on the records of that court, their sufficiency could not be questioned. Before that was done it would be necessary to quash the certificate, or remove it from the records of the court. Under these circumstances the judgment of the court must be for the defendant. Judgment accordingly. THE IMPERIAL GAS COMPANY V. THE LONDON GAS LIGHT COMPANY. Mr. Bovill moved to rescind an order of Mr. Baron Martin made at chambers. The first count of the de claration charges the defendants with boring the pipes of the plaintiffs, fixing their own pipes, and drawing off the gas— Mr. Baron Platt—ln other words stealing the gas. Mr. Bovill—We will not use hard terms ; they get into the public papers ; there is a cross action against the plaintiffs. All this might be an accident. The second count charged the defendants with secretly, fraudulently, and covinously cutting the pipes so affixed, and, in order to conceal their former fraud, pluggin, up tho pipes of the plaintiffs, whereby the plaintiffs, by the concealment of the former fraud for upwards of six years, lost their right of action. This count showed a trespass to which no demurrer could be available ; but ,. it was clear that the whole gravamen of the count was fraud and deceit, and would b e so con sidered. Be had gone before M i Baron Martin at chambers, on the ground that the couni was really a count in case, and not in trespass, and that it was calculated to embarrass the defendants in their defence, and was entitled to know what the count meant. It would be found hereafter that the plaintiffs would treat this count as disclosing a cause of action on the ground of fraud by the defendants whenever it suited their purpo se , and would proceed not for the trespas s , but the alleged consequential injury. Mr. Baron Parke said, he could not see why the plaintiffs were not to recover consequential damages. Mr. Baron Martin thought that he had made the pleadings as clear as could be by his order. Mr. Bovill said, if the Court would decide this count to be a simple count in trespass, be should be content. Mr. Baron Parke—lt is a perfectly good count in tres pass, and in my opinion will enable them to recover all the damages they have a right to by reason of the loss of their cause of action ; for they allege that you com mitted the trespass well knowing . the effect, and intend ing to prevent them from discovering your former tres pass ; they can recover special damages. Mr. Bovill—The real fact is that the defendants cut off the pipes and plugged up the holes to prevent more gas flowing, assoon as the communication was discovered by them ; but this is a question of fact for hereafter. Mr. Baron Parke—lf you plead not guilty, y ou may raise the question of fraud ; and if you are innocent, they will get no damages beyond the bare compensation for the injury dune to the pipes. Mr. Baron Martin— You may demur if you please. Mr. Bovill said, on the view of the matter takrn by the Court, there was no use in his pressing his applica tion.

The annual speech-day at Eton, originally fixed for the 4th of June (being the anniversary of the birthday of King George III.), is always looked forward to with con siderable interest. This year the 4th of June fell on a Sunday, and the speeches were fixed for yesterday (Tues day), in order to meet the convenience of his Royal Highness Prince Albert, who had signified his intention of being present. By 10 o'clock there was a considerable bustle in the precincts of the College, carriages continu ing to arrive from all parts, and at half-past 10 the doors of the Upper School were thrown open. Soon after 11 o'clock his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, accompanied by the King of Portugal, the Duke of Oporto, the Prince of Wales, and Prince Alfred, drove up to the College, and were recei ve d i n Weston's-yard by the Provost, Vice Provost the Fellows, the Head-Master, and the Lower-Master. His Majesty the King of Portugal, and his Royal bro ther, were attended by the Duke of Terceira, the Count de Lavradio, the Vicomte de Carriera, the Baron Sar mento, the Chevalier de Mello, Colonel Folque, Lord de Tabley, and Colonel Wylde. The Prince Consort was attended by Lord George Lennox (Lord in Wait ing), by Mr. F. Cavendish (Groom in Waiting), and by Captain du Plat (Equerry in Waiting). Mr. Gibbs was in attendance upon the Prince of Wales. The royal and distinguished party arrived from Buckingham Pa lace by the South-Western Railway, where four of the royal carriages were in waiting to convey them to the college. On alighting from his carriage, the Duke of Terceira instantly recognized General Sir John Milley Doyle (now one of the Military Knights of Windsor), and shook him cordially by the hand. As Prince Albert and his illustrious guests entered the schoolroom the boys gave three-times -three such hearty cheers as good lungs and loyal hearts could alone pro duce, and the cheering continued until the august party and their attendants had taken their seats immediately opposite the raised platform from which the speeches were delivered. On the right of the Prince sat the, King of Portugal, the Prince of Wales, the Provost (the Rev. Dr. Hawtrey), M. Van de Weyer (the 13 , ,Igian Ambassador), the Bishop of Oxford, the Bishop of New Zealand; Lieutenant-Colonel Seymour, and Lieu tenant-Colonel Hood. On the left of his Royal Highness were the Duke of Oporto, Prince Alfred, the Vice-Provost (the Rev. G. Bethell), and the Rev. J. F. Plumptre ; the Rev. T. Carter, the Rev. G. R. Green, the Rev. G. J. Dupuis, the Rev. J. Wilder, and the Rev. C. Luxmoore (Fellows of Eton). The remainder of the central com partineat was occupied by the noblemen and gentlemen in attendance upon the Royal visitors. The speeches then proceeded in the following order :- 1. Browning, K.S. The poetical address. The opening verses alluded to the ail-absorbing topic of the war, and were loudly cheered. The address was exceedingly well delivered, and as an original composition, is highly creditable to its youthful author, who is a fifth-form boy, and, consequently, younger than any of the others who took part in the speeches. 2.

Burnaby,ma.,K.S.Fabius Milman The whole of the speeches were given with marked effect, more especially the passages from Corneille, in which Mitford took the part of Auguste, and Antrobus that of Cinna; the Comic scene from Plautus, in which Evans, K.S., as Euclio, and Hankey as Strobilus, sus tained the characters admirably, drew forth bursts of laughter, in which the Royal visitors joined most heartily, and the two English pieces by Wodehouse (Captain of the Oppodeans), and Burnaby (Captain of the School). The former recited the best passages of Burke's impassioned impeachment of Warren Hastings, and the latter the ch arac t er o f F a bi us, as drawn by Mil man. On the whole the speeches went off remarkably well, and were brought to a close by half-past twelve o'clock. At the conclusion of the speeches, Prince Albert and the Royal visitors, accompanied by the College autho rities, passed from the school into the College chapel, and viewed with interest the recent improvements in the sacred edifice. They then proceeded to view the library ; and, after staying for a short time and taking refreshment at the Provost's lodge, departed in their carriages for the South-Western station, attended as when they arrived. Three hearty cheers of the col legians made the welkin ring until the Royal cortege was out of sight. In the afternoon dinners were given, at their re• spective houses, by the Provost and all the Masters. THE REGATTA. At 7 o'clock in the evening the usual procession of boats left the Brocas in the following order : UPPER BOATS.

On the return of the boats to the Brocas, at about nine o'clock, a brilliant display of fire works took place on the eyot amid the ringing of Castle bells, the lively strains of the band of the Royal Horse Gnards (Blue), and the applause of the thousands who were congregated on both sides of the river. The at tendance of the nobility and gentry was unprecedent edly large, and thus terminated the speech day and regatta at Eton. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE, NOTICE TO MARINERS. UNITED STATES. Nantucket New South Shoal Light, Coast of Massachussets. The Lighthouse Board of the United States has given no tice that, in the course of this month, a light vessel will be placed at the southern extremity of the Nantucket New South Shoal.

She will be painted red, with "Nantucket South Shoal" in large white letters on both sides, but her two masts will be yellow with white mastheads, ou which will be shownan oval black day mark of open work 5 feet in diameter, at an elevation of 63 feet above the water. She will carry two fixed lights, one on each mast, at an elevation of 44 feet, and visible at a distance of 12 to 13 miles. The position of the light-vessel will be in 40 deg. 56 min. 30 see. N., and 69 deg. 51 min. 30 sec. W. of Greenwich, or a long mile to the southward of the southern extremity of the New South Shoal, in 13 to 15 fathoms water. The following bearings and distances will be sufficient to guide vessels in shaping their courses when near the Light : The middle of "Old South Shoal," N by E, distant 8 sea miles. "Tom Never's !Head," N 26 deg. W., distant 21 sea miles. " Block Island Lights," WNW, distant 78 sea miles. "Sandy Hook light-vessel," west, distant 180 sea miles. Vessels bound. to Boston or that vicinity, when the weather is moderate, may, after passing this light, steer ENE for 18 miles, leaving Fishing Rip to starboard; and from thence aNby W W course for 33 miles will bring them to the Chatham Lights.
