ROWE V.' ROWE AND RENDAI:L. Mr. Sergeant Ballantino and Dr. Wamby appeared for the petitioner, the Queen's Advocate, and Mr. Searle for the respondent, and Mr. M. Chambers, Q,C., and Dr. Spinks far the co-respondent. this case the petitioner, Mr. Octavius Rowe, a solici tor at Aberystwith, prayed for a dissolution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, an adjutant of the Cardigan Miiitia,and who had formally been an officer in the English army. The defendants merely pleaded denial. Mr Sergeant Ballantine stated the case. The petitioner who claimed £4,000 damages for the injuries he had sus tained in the loss of his wife's affections, was about 26 or 27 years old. He and the respondent, who was the daughter of a gentleman of property, and possessed considerable per sonal attractions, had been acquainted with the petitioner for some years before their marriage, and a strong affection subsisted between them, which ended in a clandestine union in January, 1862. They lived first in the neighbourhood of London, but settled at Aberystwith, where they lived on affectionate terms until they formed the acquaintance of the corespondent, who; was a gentleman of „property :resid ing in the ne ghbourhcod, and who was a married man with one child. In July, 1862, the attentions of Captain Kendall to the respondent be came so marked as :to cause come observations on the part of her relatives,. and in a letter which she wrote about this time, she admitted that she had been guilty of flirtation, but denied any criminality. She threw herself on her knees before her husband, and promised for the future that she would prove a good and faithful wife. He was induced to overlook her indiscretion, but she fell avictim to the seduc tion of the co-respondent, with whom she eloped on the 23d of October, 1863, and with whom she had been seen in Shrewsbury, and afterwards in Paris, in November last. She wrote letters to her husband after the elopement, in which she spoke of him as a kind affectionate husband, but that she could not love him, and she requested him to write to her at an address which she gave hint in Cannon street, London. The case was proceeding when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day, MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A LADY GROSSLY INSULTED.—Thomas Chapman, a young man, described as a servant atßacon's Hotel, Hyde park, was charged before Mr Tyrwhitt with grossly miscon ducting himself towards a lady named Horsley ; residing at Connaught-place West, Hyde -park. Mrs Horsley said—About a quarter-past 7 this morning I was at my bedroom window, which looks into Hyde-park. I saw the prisoner there, and I am positive he is the man, as I have seen him there before. He grossly exposed him self. I have repeatedly seen him pass my house, and he has been guilty of similar conduct nine times, and always of a morning, when I have opened my window. The pri soner stayed till he saw some one coming, and then walked away, but afterwards returned to the same spot, near a tree, and repeated the act. He went and sat on the nearest bench, and atter the person had passed repeated his conduct, each time coming to the tree opposite my window. My ser vant then spoke t o a constable, and he was taken into custody, Mr Tyr whitt --You have no doubt about the prisoner being the man ? Mrs Horsley--I am positive from seeinghini so frequently near the same tree within the last month. Mr Tyrwhitt--Always at the same hoUr Mrs Horsley—Always, the hour at which I open my window. Thomas Holmes, servant to the complainant, said—On being spoken to by the female servant, I wont and told a policeman that the prisoner had been annoying my mis tress, and he was then taken into custody, when ho said he had not annoyed any one. James Macintosh, 512 A—On the prisoner being pointed out to me I took him into custody, but he said nothing in answer to the charge. Prisoner—l have no questions to ask.

Mr Tyrwhitt—The prisoner will be committed for three months with hard labour. Murdtrous Assault upon a I;oung Lady. ----4--- At a late hour on the evening of Saturday last one of the most brutal assaults which have ever oct cured in this quarter was perpetrated on the person of young lady, at Broomieloan, or Sandy holes, a piece. of common lying at the back of Cesonock Nur sery, Gove.n-road, two miles from Glasgow. From the information received, it appears that between 10 and 11 o'clock on the evening in question Miss Mar. garet Addis', a young lady moving in most respec table society-, and residing at Weymouth terrace, Paisley-road, was returning from Govan, whither sho had accompanied a friend. While passing the common, she was met by an Irishman, who accosted her ; she passed on, but the man endeavoured to intercept, and tried to catch hold of her, she mean• while, putting forth her utmost efforts to escape him. Ultimately, however, the assailant succeeded in seiz ing her. She screamed as loud as she could, and endeavoured to force herself from his grasp, but failed, and the ruffian, finding that she was deter mind to escape, struck her on the face and knocked her to the ground, repeating the blows whenever she screamed, and telling her to hold her tongue. Miss Addie, as may be supposed, was not able to continue the struggle with her brutal assailant, who at last succeeded in dragging her into a field of corn on the lands of Heatheryhall. Here the scoundrel at tempted to commit a criminal assault on the person of his victim, who struggled fearfully with her in human assailant. Shortly afterwards, while Mr. Thos. Learmouth, farmer,:of Middleton, and another gentleman, a friend of his from Edinburgh, were pro ceeding along East Loan-road, they met a woman and a bey, who told them to go down the road as quickly as possible and rescue a woman who was being abused by a man. They hurried towards the place mentioned when their attention was attracted to the field by hearing groans. They rushed to the sput thus indi cated, and found a man,with his clothes disordered, lying beside a prostrate woman. Mr Learmouth immediately seized him, and held him fast, The ruffian requested to be allowed to adjust his clothes, which was permitted ; and while Mr Lear mouth was leading him down the road he attacked that gentleman, struck at and kicked him, and en• deavoured to make his escape. Mr Learmonth struggled manfully with the fellow, and ultimately threw him to the ground, and held him fast till till the county police made their appearance, when he was conveyed to the police-office. He gave his name as Michael M'Clinchey, a labourer, residing at 12, Victoria-street, Govan. On his person being examined, his clothes and linen were found to be covered with blood. Meanwhile the injured lady had been assisted to her residence by two gentle men from Ibroxholm, and was spcedilt attended by Dr. Smith, who was followed by Dr. Frazer, of 171, West Regent-street. The doctors found that Miss Addie had been subjected to the most cruel treatment, her person having been violated in a manner so brutal that we do not feel at liberty to enter into details. Her face was a mass of wounds and bruises, There was a cut upon the forehead, .in a line with the nose, three inches in length; the bridge of her nose was fractured, and the upper lip was cut through in two places. The doctors dressed the wounds, but the unfortaint e lady was so weak that they were doubtful 7e-nether or not she would survive, and recons'eeended that her deposition should be taken. 'Sergeant Gunn, of the county police, accor O LDgiy lost no time in informing the authoriP!ies of the matter, and on Sunday morning Sheriff Bell and Mr. Gemmel, Procurator-Fiacal, proceeded to the residence of Miss Addie and took her deposition. We under• stand that Miss Addle, although still conscious, lies in a highly precarious condition. The Inner Circle, Tho lice sanctioned by Lord Stanley's committee commences by a double junction with the West London Extension Railway between the Richmond road and Kensington, and passing through Earl's- court, forms a connection with the Metropolitan E xtension Railway at High-street, Kensington, where there is an exchange station, and by another fork turns to the south to Gloucester-road, where another exchange station is made, and thence it continues parallel to the Metropolitan Extension Railway to Alfred-place, West Brompton, where the terminal station of the Metropolitan Extension Railway is intended to be made. By these junctions, and the exchange stations, opportunities will be given to all the railways to find their way to the West London Extension, London and North. Western, Great Wes tern, Brighton, and London. and South-Western, to communicate with the inner circle, and distribute and exchange, and receive their traffic from it. The first station is in Sloane-square. The line passes to the south of Thurloe.square and thence across the Ful ham-road, and across a number of secondary streets to Cadogan-terrace, at which point the Metiopo ,_ ,an Grand Union Line down to the Victoria Sta. ►ion is adopted, as it avoids a good deal of opposi• tion from the district of Chester-square and other places. At the Victoria Station the Metropolitan District Line is adopted for a short distance, then the Grand Union proposed line, for the purpose of avoiding passing down Victoria-street, to which there was great objection made. By taking this line, and running down Tothill-streot, and widen ing it from a 30-feet street, to a 60-feet street, a very great public improvement will be accomplished. At the Westminster Hospital the District Railway is taken, and from that point eastward it alone is adopted. It is proposed to form a station at the Victoria Station, taking a clump of houses between the Victoria Station and Shaftesbury-terrace. At Westminster a station would be formed between Bridge-street and the Thames Embankment. It was in contemplation to have had a line under cover, to have given access to the Houses of Parliament, but that is the private property of the Queen, and the proposal has been struck out of the bill. The Crown probably knows as much about it as the Khan of Tartary, but Mr. Gardiner, the agent, is entitled to object if he likes. From Westminster Station the line goes through the embankment to Charing-cross. It passes under one of the openings of the bridge, and does not interfere with the Char ing•cross railway in any way. There is to be another station at Blackfriars of a similar character to that at Charing-cross—namely, for the locality, and also an exchange station with the railway which intersects it there, which is at that place—the Lon don, Chatham, and Dover. From Blackfriars the line follows the route of the new street which is called New Earl•street, and along that street up to very nearly the point where that new street joins Cannon■street. Then it diverges from that and runs parallel to Cannon-street, coming to the station of the Charing-cross Railway. The line pass 10ft. be low the level of their rails. So far the line is kept through an inferior class of property, At Trinity square the line will run into the station of the Me tropolitan Extension Railway, which had just passed this committee, and that will be an entire comple tion of the inner circle. All the questions affecting sewers and works under the control of the Metropo litan Board of Works have been agreed upon. There is only the question of compensation to be paid. The length of the line through is 7f miles ; that which constitutes the completion of the inner circle—the connecting link from Brompton to Tri nity-square—is 4 miles 75 chains; the remaining lines are 2 miles 44 chains; the length actually pro posed by the bill is 7 miles 391 chains. The total area of the property required will be 27a. lr. lop. ; the total number of buildings permanently removed will be 234, and the total number of buildings in terfered with 808. This estimate includes every. thing except the Thames Embankment and the streets, distinguishing that from property ; includ ing everything, it would be 41a. 3r., 23p. The quantity of property permanently retained in the city is less than an acre—it is 3r. 23p. One prac tical effect will be that instead of terminal stations there will be, comparatively speaking, only roads side stations, and the terminal business will be done off the line. Eleven dwellings, 19 dwellinghouses, with shops or offices, five shops or offices only, and four warehouses or large buildings, will be perma neatly removed in the city of London, and during the execution of the works 32 dwellinghouses, 117 dwellinghouses with shops or offices, 11 shops or offices only, and 32 warehouses or large built!_ ings, making a total of 192—these would be re constructed. The capital proposed to be raised is £3,600,000, of which £1,948,502 is tor the pur chase of land, the balance, £1,651,498, being the estimated cost of the works.—Pailleay News. THE EXPRESSION OP DRESS.—Women are more like flowers than we think. In their dress and adornment they express their nature, as the flowers do their petals and colours. Some women are like the modest daisies and violets —they never look or feel better than when dressed in a morning wrapper. Others are not themselves unless they can flame out in gorgeous dyes, like the tulip or bush rose. Who has not seen women just like white lilies? We know several double marigolds and poppies. There aro women fit only for velvets, like the dahlias; others are graceful and airy, like azaleas. Now and then you see hollyhocks and sunflowers, When women are free to dress as they like, uncontrolled by others, and not limited by their circumstances, they do not fail to express their true er and dress becomes a fo rm o f express i on very land," characters, and d useful.—George Meredit4's dia irk .Ell. THAMES. CONSPIRACY TO MURDER.—Patrick Driscoll, an Irish labourer, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with violently assaulting and wounding Henry Emmett. The complainant, whose right arm was in an hospital splint, and whose face was swollen and discoloured, said he gave evidence against the prisoner and others for stealing a small cask of wine from the London Docks. The prisoner and another man were committed for trial. Tho prisoner was acquitted and his confederate found guilty, and sena tented to a long term of imprisonment. Since the trial annoyances and threats had been made by the prisoner and others. He understood a conspiracy had been formed to murder him, Yesterday aftecaoon as soon as he loft the London Dock a sudden attack was made upon him by the prisoner, who struck him about the head with his fist. He fell, or was thrown by the prisoner, and was trying to get up when the prisoner kicked' at him fiercely, and made several kicks at his belly and a more vital part of his person. He called out for help. He could not get up. His shoulder was dislocated. Mr Paget—How was that ? Witness—My arm was doubled under me when I was thrown. He has been threatening my life since the trial. I gave evidence against him at this court, and also at the Sessions House. The man who was convicted said, "By G—, when 1 come out, I'll murder you." I have been given to understand my life was to be sacrificed for the evidence I gave. William Henry Emmett, the father of the last witness, said the prisoner was standing at the side door of the dock entrance when his son was coining out. He saw his son on the ground and the prisoner kicking him. Edmund Ellis, a constable in the service of the London Dock Company, gave evidence of the facts relating to the prosecution of the men for stealing an octave of wine. The prosecutor was an accomplice, and allowed to give evidence for the Crown. Mr Nathaniel Hickford, house-surgeon of the London Hospital, said the prosecutor was brought there yesterday with a severe contusion over the right eye, and a disloca tion of the right elbow joint. One month would elapse before the prisoner wo uld recove r th e use o f hie ar m . Mr Paget committed the prisoner for trial. • At the half-yearly meetin g o f th e s h are h o ld ers o f the London and Westminster Bank, Mr. Alderman Salomons, M.P., in th e , . _ c h air, the report of the c .

STATE OF TRADE MANCIIESTEE, July 19.—A fair amount of business has been done in shipping yarns, at very extreme prices. There have been buyers for most of the foreign markets, except those of India, for which the demand has been small. For China buyers have purchased some fair parcels of 16's to 24's, of 23's to 32's, and of 3S's to 42's water twist. In home trade yarns, also, there has been a fair amount of business doing. In doubled yarns the demand has been active, and sales have been made at ld to 2d per lb advance on the prices rccepted this day wall. The yarn market closes strong, with a decided tendency to an advance of prices. In :the cloth market business has been rather inactive. The high prices of materials (such as cotton and yarn) prevent manufacturers obtaining orders at anything like paying prices, while buyers are chary of giving out orders for any goods that are not in stock, or for which the deliveries can not be insured within a short apace of time. There is evi dently no confidence among buyers that the present high rates for goods can be maintained. On the other hand the demand for cotton is sufficient to keep prices stringent, aria between the spinner and the buyer of cloth the positicn of the manufacturer is far from an enviable one. LEBDS, 19th.—The woollen cloth 'trade continues to present the same healthy features which it bras done for a considerable period. The demand for exi:ortation, as well as for the home trade, is active, and les mills throughout the district are running full time.. The markets in the cloth-halls this morning were qui'.o significant of the general prosperity of the trade, therP, being a demand fully equal to the supply of new soP.sonable goods, and prices being very firm for all descril)tions of cloths. Wools command the highest quotat;.ons of last week. NOTTINGIWA, 19th.—The summer races being held to-day thes e was a very small attendance at this Exchange hall‘ "i he demand for lace yarns was flat at extreme rates. ruere was not much doing in hosiery yarns, and fall prices were made. Silks firm. Not much doing in brown nets ; full rates were maintained. ROCHDALE, 18th.—To-day's market has been rather fat, and buyers fewer than usual. The consequence bas been a flatter market than for some time past. No reason can be assigned for this. except that all parties are coming to the conviction that prices will not go down during the present season, and therefore it is a matter of indifference when they provide supplies to meet the orders of their cus• tomers. All goods made of long wools are very dear, and yet Yorkshire goods sell freely, and are in much better re quest than fine flannels. Merchants have been busy all the week, and such is the steady sale in most departments that stocks are getting low. There is an average business doing in wool, and prices remain very firm. MARKETS—This Day MARK-LANE. Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of English wheat wore moderate for time of year. For most qualities there was a steady demand, at Monday's currency. With foreign wheat the market was moderately supplied. On the whole the trade ruled steady, but transactions were chiefly of a hand-to-mouth nature, at late rates. Floating cargos of grain moved off steadily at full our,' rencies. Barley, the supply of which was very moderate, ruled firm, at extreme rates. Malt was steady in price and in moderate request. Oats were in good supply, and both English and foreign descriptions supported previous rates, with a moderate de mand. Beans and peas were very firm, and prices had an upward tendency. Flour ruled firm at late rates. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour. 320 350 J 1230 Irish.. — 3,120 14,630 100 sks. Do — BOROUGH HOP.

FIRES AND PROBABLE Loss OF LlFE.—This (Wednesday) morning, between the hours of one and two o'clock, considerable alarm was created in the neighbourhood of Albion-street, Rotherhithe, owing to loud cri©s of " Fire" proceeding from the premises belonging to Mr W. Reeves, a grocer. Several of the neighbours rushed into the building, when they found the back room on the second floor in flames and the shopman's night-dress on fire. The necessary information was forwarded to the fire-stations, and very quickly the engines from Tooley street, Robert's land-steamer (the " Princess of Wales"), and three manual power ones, under the direction of Mr Henderson, the chief officer of the D district, attended. and extinguished the fire, but not before considerable damage was done to the building and furniture, and the shopman was so severely burnt that he was obliged to be taken to the hospital. Another fire took place on the premises of Mr Keys, weaver, 13, King Edward-street, Milo end New town. The fire was caused by fumigating bugs. The en gines soon attended, and the flAmas were extinguished before mach damage was done. The sufferer was not insured. The Balloon Riot at Leicester. Yesterday, at the Town Hall, Leicester, before the Mayor, Geo. Baines, Eeq., J. Harrison, Esq., and E. S. Ellis, Esq., Mr C. T. Cutter, solicitor, Greenwich, appeared before the bench to take legal proceedings against certain persons concerned in the destruction of Mr Coxwell's new balloon Britannia at the Foresters' fete on the Leicester racecourse on Monday last. Mr Carttar, in a lengthy address, stated the case to the magistrates, and proposed to indict those who had committed the wilful damage to appesr at the next Leicester sessions in answer to the charge. The Town Clerk suggested that it would be better to prefer the charge under the Criminal Law Con. solidation Act, 24 and 25 Vic., chap. 97, sec. 51, for malicious injury, and the indictment was so taken accordingly. Mr Ellis, one of the magistrates, told Mr Coxwell that he was within 50 yards of the balloon, and he did not notice the slightest obstacle to the ascent. If there had been any, and Mr Coxwell had spoken about it, he was sure that there were thousands of persons who would have helped him out of his difficulty. Mr Coxwell explained the circumstances which led him to open the valve, after which Mr Ellis said he thought Mr Cox well exercised a very wise discretion in not attempting to ascend. If they got a certain number of persons together, and a certain number of beer barrels, they must expect to have a certain amount of force. It was an unfortunate circumstance for the credit of the town. The Mayor said he noticed that the balloon collapsed, but he did not notice any riot or any approach to one. Ho came off the ground without seeing any disturbance. Mr Coxwell was then sworn. He said—l am a surgeon and dentist, and reside at Tottenham, in the county of Middlesex. I was on the Leicester racecourse on Monday last, the 11th inst. I had with me my largest balloon, the "Britannia,' and appurtenances connected with it, including scientic instruments and apparatus for meteorological Osser vations. The balloOn was constructed especially for the observations of the British AssosAation and making high ascents. That balloon, when properly inflated, was capable of taking up '25 people, not for high ascents. The mention of 25 people in the bill is always supposed to allude to the number that it will take up for practics:i ascents to have a bird's. eye view of the grour.d. I had with me a valuable barometer presented to me by Mr Glaieher; the ./ intrinsio value bf it was ten gu i neas. The value al the balloon .nd apparatus was £7OO. The whol,a of it, even 'lie grappling-irons and valves, are Ir,st. It was rot made of silk. The cost of a silk 'balloon, which I contemplate making, would be Z 2,000. It was made of an American mixture —sponge silk— a vegetable matter which would c,anse it to resGm ble cotton. There were, I 'should say, about 4,000 people surrounding the balloon—about 50,000 on the ground. I tried for two hours to get an open spina from 'which to ascend. Some clung to the betting, and broke. Possibly it was not done intentionally, but with a desire to assist in vetting it off. I may explain, that with a single piece of cordage being broken, more stress was laid on the other part, and rendered it unsafe to go up. Several persons in the car were very violent, and feeling that if I went up great damage would be done to the community, I fel,: it ncessary to empty the balloon, as the only remedy for the protection of the bystanders. 'With the pressure it was impossible to ascend. I therefore adopted the only alternative of letting off the gas. I should have ascended by myself, unsafe as it was. Im mediately I let off the gas the crowd commenced to rip up the balloon, and to cut the netting, and, to threaten me personally. Violent hands were, laid upon me, and I received sundry blows. A. bottle was thrown at the balloon, and it was subeequrntly picked up by my man. Whether that was thrown before or after I let off the gas I car,not say. In spector Haynes and Sergeant Chal;,sean took me by the arm and led me off the ce - erse. I considered my life was in danger. I have not the least por tion of my balloon. I s'absequently learned that my balloon Vas destroysid, burned, and paraded about the streets. The car, liberating iron, and barometer 'were dearroyed. I am unable at the present time to g ; ,ve the names of those who took part in damaging the balloon. I know the name of one person, - William Pegg, who used most disgust ing langrAge, and incited the crowd to act as it did Mr r Joxwell was then bound over in the sum of £IP,O to prosecute at the quarter sessions. Mr Carttar wished to correct a statement afloat that Mr Coswell had received money for the ascent, He had not received one penny of the £5O. A man who was taken by the crowd for Mr Coxwell was ferociously mobbed, and had his coat ripped up the back as well. The defendant in this case has, how ever, been convicted, and sent to gaol for a month. Neglect of a Family in St. Luke's. Yesterday Mr John Humphreys, Middlesex coro ner, resumed at the Green Gate Tavern, City-road the adjourned inquiry respecting the death from starvation and neglect, at the hands of the mother, of Sarah Blake, aged two years, and the second inquest was opened on view of the body of - Blake, aged two months, who died from the same cause. It appeared that the mother of the deceased chil (11 en was a married woman, living apart from her husband, who cohabits with another woman. She was an artificial florist, and she cohabited with a person of the same trade, named Beamen. Her six children were left by her in a room, first in Bishop's court, Clerken well, and then in Pear-street, St Luke's, without furniture or bedding, and almost without food. They were found by the parish au thorities dying from starvation and neglect, and the child Sarah died almost immediately. Mr Dixon said that the infant deceased was the daughter of Mrs Blake, and was unnamed. It was an illegitimate child, the father being a potman named Wright. Honors Lyons, nurse at the workhouse of St. Luke's, said that the infant was admitted on the 2.§th of June, ill and exhausted. The undercloth ing was pasted to the skin for want of washing. Everything was done to save its life, but it had not a chance of surviving, and it died on the 12th inst. Mary Ann Blake, a little girl ten years old, said that she used to get enough to eat. She used to got bread and batter, and sometimes a little sausage or bacon; but the two little children that were dead could not eat the bread and water. Until Sarah got the smallpox she could eat the dry bread. They slept on the boards. Dr. E. C. Harris, surgeon to the workhouse, said that he attended the deceased infant child on ad• mission. It was very thin, and its eyes were sunk. It was weak and ill. Witness did all he could to save its life, but it died on the 12th of July. The body was very destitute of fat—a circumstance quite unusual in a child of that age. All the organs were tolerably healthy. The mother's neglect was the cause of the loss of the child's life. There was no disease to cause death if the child had been carefully tended and fed. Being allowed to lie on the boards of the room was destruction to it. Mrs—Wagstaffe, 4, Bishop's-court, said the chil dren lived for three weeks in a room at that house. They were shockingly neglected and starved, the mother leaving them for three or four days together. The girl Sarah was quite wolfish with hunger. The infant was quite as badly neglected. • It was stated that Beaman, the man with whom the mother of the children cohabited, and whom she assisted in his business, made £3 or £4 a-week, and she had the management of the money for house. keeping purposes. The bread which she gave to her children—four loaves every Wednesday, was fur nished by the parish to her. Her husband was in prison. The• Coroner summed up at length, and The Jury after a brief deliberation returned a verdict of manslaughter against Mary Ann Blake for feloniously killing and slaying Sarah Ann Blake and another daughter unnamed. The Coroner then issued his warrant for the de tention of the mother in Newgate until her trial at the Central Criminal Court. ALFRED TENNYsON'S NEW VoLUME OF POEM S . •Those who have be en permitted a . glance at the proof sheets, according to the London -ne v'ely, say that the Laureate's fame will not suffer by the app earance of this his latest effort.

He thought the real object of the bill to be to enable the masters of cer tain public schools to have full divine service in their schools, and they removed from the parents of the scholars all control over their religious education. He was indis posed to greater facilities to the masters than those which at present existed. Mr REMINGTON MILLS supported the bill. Mr KINNAIRD objected to the bill. It was of the greatest importance, and therefore it ought to be considered when there was a fuller attendance of members. He seconded the amendment, because he thought the present measure ought to have been introduced at the beginning rather than at the close of a session of Parliament. M.Mr NEATE expressed his disapprobation of the bill. Mr F. S. POWELL supported the bill, but thought it would be necessary to make several additions to it in its next stage. Sir G. GREY advised the hon. gentleman opposite not to press the motion for the second reading, unless he would agree to send it to a select committee. If he would agree to such an arrangement, he would give him his support. Mr COLLINS said, after the expression of opinion which had taken place, he would, if the hon. member for Colchester would withdraw his amendment, consent to the order of the day being discharged. This course was assented to, and the vote was withdrawn. DEFENCE ACT AMENDMENT. This bill was read a second time. CONSOLIDATED FUND (APPROPRIATION) BILL. This bill was read a second time.

NAVAL YARD, of p, the DE A dmiralty, Lords Comm is s i oners ComriB sine dmir y alty 7der of h the jrap t or e . taut freehold estate containing the whole of the Naval Yard, with th e extensive buildings, dwe lli ng h ouses , &c.,with a lar go h ouse i n Queen - street, f ormer l y t h e Port Ad tniral's residence, and ground in Prospect-place, Deal, was sold by auction yesterday, at Garraway's, by Mr Murrell, auctioneer, under the direction of Mr Bristow, the solicitor to the Admiralty. In consequence of the opening of the new pier, wnich extends far out into the sea, and the pro posed erection of harbour and docks, the sale excited more than ordinary interest. Garraway's was crowded to excess. After various questions had been asked, the bidding com menced at £5,000, and after a most spirited contest the pro perty was knocked down to the Conservative Land Society at £13,200. A portion of the property can be retained as a naval yard, and the remainder turned into building land, the want of houses being much felt at Deal. The esplanade frontage to the sea is SOOft, and the frontage to the Dover and Walmer-road is more than 8001 t. The property abuts on Deal Castle, and commands fine views of the sea oust, and is also opposite the anchorage of the fleet when in the Downs W O O 6ier'd re fer 1571 . ! 139 . i NZ 2 r -S} 36 93i ;
