TONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, During the last few days an extra demand fir tnoney has been experienced in discount circles. This increase is attributed to the liquidation of bills falling due to-day—the 4th of the month—end to the wants of agriculturists, whose busy season is now commencing, and to the extension of orders in the manufacturing districts. The rates remain firm at 3 8 7 - 4 per cent. The bullion operations at the Bauk yesterday comprised the influx of £15,000 in bar gold. The Chili, from New Zealand has brongh £120,000. Intelligence was received here lest evening stat ing that Messrs. Dye, Ogareff, and Co., carrying on an extensive businessin the iron, flax, and tallow trades at St. Petersburg had stopped payment. The amount of the liabilities has not been correctly ascertained, but from the large connection of the house it is supposed that the obligations are conk derable. Biddings for £400,000 in bills on India took place at the Bank of England yesterday. The proportions allotted were—to Calcutta, £220,000; to Bombay, .1:l6o,000 ; and to Madras, £20,000. The declared minimum price was, as before, le. 112 d per rupee on Calcutta, and is. lltd. on Bombay and Madras. The applications within the limits reached nearly L 2,000,000. Tenders on Calcutta at is. 111 d. will receive about 29 per cent., on Bombay at 2s. about 34 per cent., on Madras at ls. Did. about 36 per cent., and all above these prices in full. The public sales of colonial wool were brought to a termination yesterday afternoon, and about 94,450 bales have been disposed of. Prices, which opened at a decline of about lid. per lb., subsequently im proved, and at the close the current rates were much the same as on the conclusion of the previous auctions. The last week's railway receipts up to this day are in round figures as under : 1863. 1862.

The quotations for Consols have varied but slightly since yesterday, they being now 92 for money and account. General inactivity of business has pervaded the Stock Exchange markets for some time; but perhaps much of the dulness now per ceptible is to be attributed to the fine weather, which has induced many of the mem bers to put in an attendance at Ascot.

For the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there has been a very limited inquiry, and quotations exhibit no material change.

RE DAY.-IN RE SPARSE AND BRIDGES.--A DIVIDEND AFTER A HUNDRED YEARS. This was an application to prove'a debt by the petitions, who is the legal representative of a Miss Anne Asher, who was a creditor under the estate of these bankrupts. The bankruptcy occurred as far back as 1746, and a sum of money had now fallen to the bankrupt. The debt and interest amounted to £BCO. The proceedings were of the ordinary nature, although there were several difficulties in tracing the case, and the original commission had been lost. IN RE FISHER This bankrupt was a chemist at Leyton, and came up and obtained his discharge en accounts by Mr. Boyd, Al dermanbury. The estate will pay about 10s. in the pound. ale. THE TORTURES OF AN ORRERY ! My memory presents a birthday when 0.3 mpia and 1 were taken by an unfeeling relative—some cruel uncle, or the like—to the slow torture called at Orrery. The terrible instrument was set up at the local theatre, and I had expressed a profane wish in the morning that it was a Play ; for which a serious aunt had probed my canscience deep, and my pocket deeper, by reclaiming a bestowed half. crown. It was a venerable and a shabby Orrery, at least one thousand stars and twenty-five comets behind the age. Neveetheless, it was awful. When the low-spirited gentleman with the wand said, " Ladies and gentlemen (meaning particularly Olympia and me), the lights are about to be put out, but there is not the slightest cause for alarm," it was very alarming. Then the planets and stars began. Sometimes they wouldn't come on, some times they wouldn't go off, sometimes they had holes in thin, and mostly they didn't seem to be good likenesses. Ali this time the gentleman with the wand was going on in the dark (tapping away at the heavenly bodies between whiles, like a weari some woodpecker) about a sphere revolving on its own axis eight hundred and ninety-seven thousand millions of times—or miles—in two hundred and sixty-three thousand five hundred and twenty-four millions of something elses, until I thought if this was a birthday it were better never to have been born. Olympia also became much depressed, and we both slumbered and woke cross, and still the gen tleman was going on in the dark—whether up in the stars, or down o n th e stage, it would have b een h ar d to make out, if it h a d b een worth trying—cyphering away about plan es o f or bi ts, to yuchan infamcui ex • tent that Olympia, s t ung to madness, actua ll y ki c k e d A pretty birthday spectacle when the lights were turned up again, and all the schools in the town (including_ the National, who had come in for nothing, and serve them right, for they were always throwing stones) were discovered with exhausted countenances, screwing their knuckles into their eyes, or clutching their heads of hair. A pretty birthday speech when Doctor Sleek of the City-Free bobbed up his powdered head in the stage-box, and said that before this assembly dispersed he really must beg to express his entire approval of a lecture as improving, as informing, as devoid of anything that could call a blush into the cheek of youth, es any it had ever been his lot to hear delivered. A pretty birthday altogether, when Astronomy couldn't leave poor small Olympia Sqaires and me atone, but must put an end to our loves! For, we never got over it; the threadbare Orrery out .,ore our mutual tenderness; the man with the wand was too mach for the boa' with the bow."— Charles Dickens, in "All the Yeur Round." Reminiscences of " Stonewall" Jackson. The following is from a correspondent of the New ork Tinzes;— In the course of my journeying; as a correspondent, I have met with many old classmates and acquaintances of the late rebel Genetal Jackson, from whose lips I have heard much about him; and, as everything pertaining to this remarkable man seems to interest the public, I will set down two or three anecdotes which have not yet found their way into the public prints. Jackson, you know, was a graduate of West Point in the elites of 1846, considered the most remarkable class that ever graduated from the Acadmy. M'Clellan, Couch, Foster, Leno, Seymour, Stoneman, and others equally or less distinguished belonged to it. While at West Point, he was regarded as decidedly dull and slow. It took him three times as long to learn his tasks as the average of the boys, but when he had them, he had them well. He was of a retiring and tactiturn disposition, but whenever he spoke his face would light up with a pleasant smile. At this period he used to fancy he had consumption, and was wont to sit bolt upright at his meals. Illustrative of the difficulty he had in learning anything, I remember an anecdote of General Seymour's. Seymour was, at that time, learning to play on the flute, and Jackson (they were young lieutenants together) took it into his head that he also would learn. He went to the work with his accustomed vigour and perseverance, but he could not succeed in learning to play even the simplest air He blew six mouths on the first bar of " Love Net," and then gave it up in despair. The story of his behaviour st Chepullepec, I have seen given, but incorrectly. It is thus—Jackson was a lieutenant in command of Magruder's Battery. The 15 h regular infantry was ordered to charge up the road, but the fire was heavy, and the men seemed disinclined to advance. Perceiving this, Jackson stepped out on the road, amid a shower of missiles, exclaiming— " You see, my men, there is no danger, follow me I" whereupon they immediately rnslaed forward to the charge. At various periods of his life he was afflicted with different forms of hypochondria, One of his manias was to believe that everythihg he ate went down and lodged in his left leg I At another time he would never eat except hy the watch, at the precise moment; and he would take out his watch, lay it on the table, and eat at 'hat moment. If the meal was behindhand, he would not eat at all Probably camp life Lured him of these eccen tricities. Current reports have stated that Jackson was slovenly and rough in dress ; in action or on the march not distinghishable from the common soldier. Th s, at least lately, since he came into high command, seems to be in correct. In the tnaunscript diary of a rebel engineer officer —which we found at the Chancellor House on our arrival, arid now in my hands —among entries of the greatest inte rest and importance, extending over several months, I find the following portrait of " Stodewall" Jackson. It is, as you will observe, a mere silhouette, but the picture is almost Carlyean in its tuoch:—March 25. .. About dinner time " Stonewall" Jackson came over to make a visit to the General. I went out to ride, and met hint going as. ay in the road between headquarters and: tl r. Ganaett's. He was sweep log along at an easy gallop on a handsome bay. Passed so quickly tbat I had not time to disti.nguish his featu res nothing in him to recall the caricatures which popular vene ration has delighted to make of the popular hero; hand somely dressed in full general's uniforms —a jaunty cap, a full black beard and a fine horse ; altogether a rather daz zling vision for one used to our slovenly headquarters." Jackson's mode of attack was peculiar, oven in the tactical formation of his troops, and it was his own. Ile always threw his men in in column of battalions, about a two com pany front, without skirmishers, resting on their colours, ant' with a yell peculiar to his men. Ete was a gallant foe, and I have heard many an officer in the army declare he would like nothing better, if we only had this affair settled up, than to follow Stonewall Jackson into fight. His per sonal loss to the rebel cause is immenso ; but he has trained many able division commanders such as Early and the two Hills. _ MARKETS—This Day.

IN RE THE /lON G. A. H. CHICHESTER. This was a meeting for last examination and discharge. The debts amounted to about £9,000; no assets. Mr. G. F. Cook opposed for Messrs. Fuller and Co, coachwakers, of Bath. Mr. Sargood objected to Mr. Cook being heard, on the ground that he did not bona fide represent Messrs. Fuller, but Mrs. Chichester, who was in a cause between her and the barkrupt in the Divorce Court. His Honour held that Mr. Cook had a locus standi, as he was instructed to tender a proof which had been admitted, and his authority to oppose must be assumed, as he stated he had been instructed, notwithstanding the correspond ence tetween the b.nkrupt and Mr. A. Fuller, to come to an arrangement. His Honour ultimately granted the dis charge. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) ROOTS AND HOUSEMAID-SAM WELLER AND HIS BEER- KEW V HEMMENS. This was an action to recover gratuity and " beer money," plaintiff being a boots and defendant a hotel keeper. The plaintiff stated that he entered defendant's service as boots at no wages, but he was promised £1 at the end of three months. His Honour—Well, what about the beer money ? Plaintiff—lf I did not approve of the beer I was to have ls. per week. His Honour—And did not you approve of the beer ? Plaintiff—No, indeed, I could not drink it. (Laughter.) When I lef& he only gave me 10s. Defendant took this lad out of the Union, and I promised him 10s. if he gave satisfaction for three months, and 20s if he did so for six months. As to the beer it was very good, and the guests drank it. If the plaintiff refused he was not to have any equivalent. He made 8s per week out of the feasts, and he left me in a very shabby manner.

This was an action to recover damages sustained in con sequence of defendant refusing to accept the services of plaintiff. Plaintiff stated that he had engaged with defendant (who is a werchant of St. Helen's, Bishopsgate-atreet) to act as butler at £4O per annum. Plaintiff tendered his services, but they w ere refused. Defendant stated that although plaint ff's references were not altogether satisfactory he engaged him for a month upon trial Plaintiff was to coma in upon a certain day, but he did not arrive when defendant and his family retired to rest. About 11 o'clock at night plaintiff alarmed the house by knocking up the inmates. He was permitted to remain, but in the morning defendant asked him what ex cuse he could offer for not coming in proper time, and he said he was in the country. Thi. not being satisfactory, defendant refused to accept his services.

FORGING A NAME TO A POST-OFFICE 0 RDER.—A young tnan named Kett was brought before Mr. Knox, charged with forging th: name of Mr. Isaac Pulvermacher, electri cian, of Oxford-street, to a Post-office order. Mr. L Lewis appeared for the prosecution. The prisoner was in the employ of Mr. Pulvermacher, as second clerk, and absconded from his employ, and after he was gone, a letter was missed, containing a Post-office order from a customer of Mr. Pulvermacher named Wood, a medical gentleman, residing at Wakefield. Mr. Pulvermacher said the signature to the order was not in his handwriting, and not like it. It was like the prisoner's handwriting, and he believed it to be the pri soner's. George Milton, assistant to Mr. Attenborough, of Oxford street, jeweller, said that he cashed some Post-office orders tor Mr. Pulvermache last month, but could no.; say that he cashed the one produced. Mr. Knox said he could not help adjourning the case owing to the way in which it was brought before him, tilj to morrow. WESMINSTER. THE EXTRAORDINARY RIOT AT CREMORNE.—Regi nald Herbert, Joan Birkett, Ed ward Saville, Herbert Shawcross, Charles Mott, and Evan M'Dougal, the six gentlemen who have undergone so many examinations upon the charges of riot and assault at Cremorne, made their final appearance this morning at this court. The attendance of persons anxious to hear the last of the case was, as before, very large. Mr. Sleigh, accompanied by Mr. Abrams, again appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Smythies for Herbert, and some other legal gentleman for the other defendants. Oa the parties all appearing before the magistrate, Ur ' Sl eigh sai I—l under stand Mr. Hutchinson wishes to say something to you, and I think, with submission to you, that now is the hest time. Mr. H utchinson—My application is in behalf of Saville. You are aware, sir, from my former statement, that he is an officer in th e army, who has obtained leave for a short visit to London, but who should be with his regiment again as soon as possible. The object of my applica: ion is to effect this if I can obtain your sanction. The sooner this is settled the bete er for this young gentleman, and I have therefore respectfully to ask you to send this case for trial at the Central Criminal Court, instead of to the Middlesex Sessions. The defendants would have the advantage of having the case tried by one of the judges. Mr. Arnold—Why should I depart from the usual course P Mr. Hutchinson—The Central Criminal Court holds its sessions next week, the Middlesex not till the week after next, so that a week's time will be saved. Mr. Arnold—The orders from the Secretary of State's office must Prevent my complying. I have no power to help it ; it must be tried at the Middlesex bessions. The whole of the depositions having then been gone through, defendants' bail were again taken for their appear ance at the sesions. THAMES. TILE MODERN TAREEIA.N Ho mu —Elizabeth Smith, aged 21, of 16, Palmer's Folly, Ratcliff.highway, a single woman, and Annie Wilson, 29, a married w.,znan, were brought up on remand, charged with attempting suicide in the London •dpck. The first named prisoner threw herself into the water from the New Gravel-lane bridge, and the other from Old Gravel-lane bridge, and were both saved by the dock watchmen and police. They were remanded for a week to the Clerkenwell House of Detection, to which place a number of would-be suicides have been almost daily com mitted by the magistrates. The Rev. Mr. J. phson, the chaplain of the prison, has given much good advice and spiritual consolation to persons who attempted to destroy themselves, and particularly to the unhappy women wh , , while labouring under excitement and drunkenness, have plunged into the water from the Old and New Gravel-lane bridges, where suicides have been lamentably numerous. Mr. Woolrych said the excellent chaplain of the House of Detention had written . to him that the prisoners were very penitent and sorry for what they had done, and that, c o ii ri d v been et e they might be trusted at large again, the friends of one and husband of the other consenting to receive t hem.

We have the usual contradictory accounts from the North of Scotland. Last season, about this time, all was couleur de rope—assurances of nume rous and abundant coveys before the eggs were batched, while, as unfortunately happened, a con siderable portion of them were never hatched at all. This season there are rival prophets, one set of whom rejoice the sportsman with the intelligence that "on all the extensive moors grouse are abundant, the hatching season well advanced, and the more early nests containing young grouse." The other set revel in accounts of deep snow, hail, rain, dead birds, and black prospects—the writers warning the Cockneys cgarnst high rents and barren hills. Possibly both speculations are exaggerated, and, as with us on the low ground, the real prospects of sport on the 12th of August (which, by the way, falls this season on a Wednesd iy) can not' as yet be anticipated with any degree of accuracy. Ail that can be said about the Ayr shire moors, es yet, is that the stock left last season was, notwithstanding an almost universal jubilee by sportsmen, under an average; and, where they were not spared, very low iudeed ; so that, even for anything like a fair show of birds in August, a very dry and warm spring is indispensable. So far as it has yet gone the season has not been unfavourable ; and, after co wet an early spring, we may hope for dry weather and heat. Even on the best moors, where there was scarcely any shooting last season, the old birds, though healthy, are scarce. The cause of this scarcity has been the subject cf many inte resting communications in the Field, and th© fact of the scarcity, with occasional dead birds on moors little shot last season, is rather freely, we think, ascribed to disease. Those who ,have paid much attention to the habits of grouse might, we think, discover another, if not the chief, cause. A jubilee to be of much consequence to numbers would need to be universal, or at least much more general than can possibly be attained. Late in the season grouse join passing packs, and will go miles from home to cornfields, casting in their lot with the pack they chance to join, the survivors generally returning to their native ground at the pairing season. But their numbers are severely thinned by constant shooting for the market by parties who take a licence and a small extent of around, and make a trade of " riekle-shootirg." And a very remunerative trade it is, however rule - was to the fair sportsman. These " rickle shooters," who pay £5 or /8 for the right to shoot over from 501) to 800 acres of ground which possib:y never bred a grouse, lay down sheaves of corn lavishly in a line, and, themselves concealed in houses made of straw, shoot at the flocks that come the entire autumn and winter days. Each of these men will, after harvest, when the fair sportsman can scarcely get a shot, kill more grouse in one week than the average sportsman, on the best ground, kills in a season. No wonder grouse are scarce and occasionally diseased after such wholesale slaughter. Half-a-dosen grouse are often killed at a single shot, and probably twice as many wounded ; and our theory is that these wounded birds which languish and die are the diseased birds, whose ailments are speculated about so scientifically in the sporting papers. The fact of a bird being reduced to a skeleton is assumed to be conclusive of disease, but when we have the know ledge that birds are thus wounded wholesale towards the close of the season, it seems more than probable that their emanciated appearance is the result of pining under wounds for months. In con clusion, we do not think last season's blank was to be ascribed to unusual disease, but simply to the wet season having rotted almost all the eggs ; and we see no reason to anticipate any other than fair sports I, this season, if we are spared heavy rains till the coveys are on the wing. This applies equally to black game.—Ayr Advertiser. Erection of a Franciscan Monastery near Manchester. (From the Manchester Guardian.) The foundation stone of a church and convent of the Franciscan Recollect Fathers was laid at Gorton, on Satur day morning, by the Rev. Canon Renoit. The commu nity, as it at present exists, is composed of five monks (Belgians) and several novitiates, and for the past 18 months they have been living at Fairfield. A few days ago they rem - Ned to a house near the Rcman Catholic schools at Gorton, adjoining the site of their new church and convent. The ceremony on Saturday was the laying of the foundation stone of that building. The portion co the structure that will be built first is the library, and until the remainder of the edifice is erected the library will be used for the purposes of a church. The work will proceed gradually, as the funds permit, and the whole will not be commenced at once. If the structure be com pleted according to the plans, it will be a large and very fine edifice. It will be built of brick, largely faced with stone, and present a frontage to Gort , n-lane of 230 feet; 50 feet will be occupied by the west facade of the church, and the remainder by the guests' quarters of the convent. The style will be Gothic, of a continental character, from I he designs of Pugin and Hanson. The church will be 180 feet long by 50 feet wide; and its choir will be 50 feet long, and accommodate 60 persons. At the west trent will be a tall graceful tower, which will terminate with a high-pitched pavilion roof, peculiarly continental in its design. The body of the building will be provided with side aisles and clerestory. At the east end will be transepts, spire, and chapels, At the south-east corner there will be a portiuncul,—a feature of buildings belonging to tbia Order, and associated with an interesting episode in the life of St. Francis d'Assisi. Under the spire will be the chap al containing, the high altar, dedicated to our Lady and St Francis. On each side the Ugh altar will be a lesser altar, one to the Blessed Saviour, and the other to St. Joseph. Behind the high altar will be a chapel dedicated to St. Bonaventure. On the n , rth side of the building, and fronting the cluister which separates the church from the convent, will be five or six confessionals. At the rear of the Church, running northwards from St. Bonaventure's Chapel, will be the sacristies and chapter house; and in the same quarter will be the community and study. The convent will be provided with a cloister court, measuring 85ft. by 60ft. a library near the study, a refectory Olt. long, a kitchen court, kitchens, larders, dining-room, and a series of parlours for guests. The upper storeys of the building will be devoted to sleeping apartments, and rooms of lesser importance. The entire cost is estimated at LB,OOO. Though the building will thus be erected for a comparatively small sum of money, the plan shows that it will possess considerable architectural attracions, and that it will be surpassed by few ecclesiastical edifices in this neighbourhood. It may be interesting to . know that this is the second convent of the Order in England, and that the Recollet Fathers follow strictly the rules and aus terities of St. Francis. The ceremony on Saturday commenced with. High Mass in the Gorton Roman Catholic school-room, service being performed by the Rev. Canon Toole, assisted by the fathers of the community. The musical portion of the service was assisted by a band from Hyde, and by several good vocalists. The Rev. Canon Benoit preached the sermon. At the close of the service the foundation-stone of the convent was taken into the school-room and blessed. The clergy and school children marched in procession to the site of the new building. Notwithstanding the un favourable state of the weather there was a large con course of spectators. After the stone had been laid, the Rev. Canon Benoit delivered a short address. He said that it had given him great pleasure to take part in the in teresting ceremony which they had that day performed. It was an event of no ordinary character. It was not like the building of a house which, on the death of its present owners might pass into other hands, there was some thing about a monastery of a permanent character. When the first Franciscan fathers that dwelt there should die, others would pass into the same state of poverty, and prac tise the same virtues, and the place would become a per manent dwelling of the Order. The erection of that monastery was an event of no ordinary character in another respect, because it was the first link of an im mense chain of good works—poverty, humility, and alms giving of every kind. There, at midnight, while others were refreshing their weary limbs with sleep, the Francis can fathers would rise to sing the praises of God. Th e y would practice continued prayer for mercy at the time when .e others, perhaps, were doing all they could to bring tn ang,r of God upon the world. There, all would those h ave who access. Those who had many trials to endure,er burdened had many crosses to bear, with their sins would find and in tthheoshealwlol;d7 c(l)opterarmmesn, who would be ready to receive then: w" without comfort. and who would not send them There, as in times of old, "thtthefipnaodwrehreosft.theHmeonahsotpeeryd the wearied traveller e when the sixty cells of that that they might see d d each of th ' be comPlete an eta in new monastery would the ra til holy children of St. Francis.

Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary to the Admiralty whether, consequent upon the communication made by him to the house on the I.t of June, respecting Captain Dew's report of the death of Lieut. Tinling, of the Encounter, under the walls of Shon-hing, it was the intention of the Admiralty to call upon the Admiral commanding in the China sees for a special report of the circumstances which led Captain Dew and Lieutenant Tinling to be engaged in two successive assaults upon Shon-hing, and by whose authority they were engaged in the siege; whether Capt. Dew was held responsible for the 8-inch howitzer, lent by General Salter to aid in the siege of Shon-hing, and generally to report what foundation there is for the statements in the Shanghai newspapers that the pay master of the Encounter was dangerously injured by an explosion of gunpowder at Shon-hing, and that after the reptilse of the second assault at Shon-hing, Captain Dew visited Shanghai to obtain supplies of siege ammunition, and by his agency induced a body of European adventurers of all nations to proceed to Shon-hing as mili tary volunteers. Lord C. PAGET replied that his department expected to receive shor.ly a full report of all the circumstances frcm Admiral Cupar. Neither the Admiralty nor the NV ar office had any knowledge of the loan of an 8-inch howitzer. The Admiralty deeply regretted the lamentable death of a promising young officer. THE PURCHASE OF THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Mr. C. BENTINCK asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether his attention had been called to a design pre pared by Captain Fowke for the alteration or completion of the Exhibition building; whether her Majesty's Govern ment approved generally of such design ; and, if so, whether the cost of the same was included in the estimate now laid upon the table of the house ? Mr. GREGORY asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether a detailed statement of the expense to be incurred in altering, repairing, completing, and reniering. beautiful the International Exhibition building will be printed ar o . laid before the house, previous to a vote of £485,000 wuovt. taken as the first expense connected with the purchaseb _ - •• that building ? hi s intention M Lord PALERSTON replied that it he p re p os ition to to enter into details when he submitted a to with respect the house.

HOLYHEAD HARBOUR.—OFFENSIVE LAN ; GU, GE OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. combined that on Monday Mr. TOLLEMACHE cool right when ha happent.l to be irlavoiclably aheent, the Chancellor of the Exchequer observed with respect to the composition of the Holyhead committeee appointed on the preceding Friday. The right hon. gentleman complained. that the committee was not impartially constituted, and. would consequently carry no weight with the Government.. He declared that he had no personal interest in, the matters that would come before the committee, nor, indeed, any of his constitutents ; neither had. he any interest in the railway, though it passed through South Cheshire. He had no desire to serve on this committee, and if his right hon. friend would move that he be discharged from it he would cordially second the motion. (Hear, and laughter.) So far as ho was concerned he felt perfectly competent to arrive at a perfectly un biassed decision. Mr. D. PENNANT declared that he likewise had no interest in Holyhead, and did not own an acre of land in the Isle of Anglesey. He was interested in Carnarvon, and could recollect, that 22 years ago there was a great struggle bet ween t h e ' two places as to which ought to be the harbour. It he had any preference at all it was for Carnarvon The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the hon. gentleman the member for South Cheshire had been impartially a r i e a r l t l a y i n y c 0 n d e i t d t t u t s e a d y „ the h o r e o e ff e e m n s m i v i t e te e language. was not misinformed, as he had no r eco ll ect i on o f having used per sonalthat and referred, in support of his statement, to the public de clarations of several of the members. It might be invidious to mention names, but he was satisfied that his two hon. friends would give an impartial consideratiou to the subject. He never presumed to say that the decision of the commit tee would De unworthy of the consideration of the Govern ment. Mr. H. HERBERT looked upon the words of the Chan cellor of the Exchequer as insulting and offensive. He begged to move the adjournment of the house. Mr. HENNESSY seconded the motion. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said if his remarks were " insulting and offensive," it was the duty of the hon. member to have called attention to them at the ime they were made. (Hear.) The lion, member should quote his words.a Mr. HERBERT was ready to do so. The SPEAKER decided that the words should have been quoted at the time; it was now too late to do so. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER again disclaimed using unparliamentary langu a g e ' Colonel FRENCH characterised the term, that the com mittee was not impartially constituted, as insulting and offensive! Did it mean that the committee had no brains, no knowledge, and would not be obedient 1 (Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI said it was the duty of the tiovernment not to assent to committees not, in their opinion, impartially constituted. The G overnment ought to have opposed the appointment of the committee at the time. Mr. HENNESSEY rose to order. Mr. BRIGHT said this discussion was half Welsh and half Irish. (Laughter.) He had often heard it alleged in that house that committees were not impartial, and did not consider the language unparliamentary. Lord J. MANNERS appealed to the Speaker for his opinion. The SPEAKER decided hat the discussion must then end, as it was contrary to the rules of the house. It was eompetent in the right hon. gentleman to state it as his opinion, that a committee was not impartially constituted if he thought so. The subject then dropped. VOLUNTEERS BILL. On the motion for going into committee, Mr. BAG WELL movea that, in the opinion of this house it is impolitic any longer to exclude Ireland from the ope ration of the volunteer system, and unjust, should such exclusion continue, to tax Ireland for the support of Eng lish volunteers. The Marquis of HARTINGTON opposed the motion, but in doing so did not wish to cast any doubt upon the loyalty of the people of Ireland. Lord PALMERSTON spoke highly of the loyalty of the Irish people. Their unfortunate pugnacity and the diversity of religious opinions that prevailed. rendered it impolitic that a civil armed force should be created in that country _ After a few words from several hon. members, The house divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority —lll The motion was consequently lost. The house then went into committee. (LEFT BITTING.) FOURTH EDITION SUN OFFICE, EIGHT O'CLOCK. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. ASCOT RACES.—Tnis DAY. (IT ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH THE GOLD CUP. Buckstone .

The physicians and surgeons of St. Thomas's Hospital, in consequence of a communication from the treasurer, re cently held a meeting to consider the relative merits of the sites now proposed for the future hospital—and their atten tion was particularly directed to the question of the admis sibility of Myatt's ground at Camberwell for the purpose. Dr. Barker, the senior physician cf the hospital, was re quested to make known to the treasurer the unanimous opinion of the meeting that Myatt's ground is not eligible for the purpose. With respect to the principles which should determine the site of the future hospital, the meet ing adhered to the opinions which had been expressed in a memorial signed by all the physicians and surgeons on the 11th of November last, and then circulated among the governors of the hospital and others, and published in the papers. The meeting found that the opinions expressed in this memorial had been abundantly confirmed by the expe rience of the great diminution of the usefulness of the cha rity which has already resulted from the distance of the temporary hospital in Surrey-gardens from the centre of London. The meeting believed that the selection of Myatt's ground by the governors would, in consequence of the great additional distance of the hospital on that site, very greatly increase the above evil. and would reduce to.a still lower level than at present the usefulness of the cha rity. The meeting expressed a hope that, if the site of Bethlehem should be unattainable, the governors might secure for the new hospital some site as near as Bethelem, or even nearer, to the centre of the metropolis. Finally, Dr. Barker was requested to direct the trea surer's especial attention to the concluding words of the memorial signed by all the physicians and surgeon's in. November last:— " At present, before ali other objects, there presses, in our opinion, the one imperative need that St. Thomas's Hospital be restored according to the pattern of its former usefulness—not misplanted in some country district, where it would scarcely at all fulfil the objects of its existence but re-constructed as nearly as may be in the very heart o London, where, according to the intention of its founder, it may still efficiently minister, as for three centuries it has ministered to those innumerable emergencies of disease and accident which belong to so vast a city." A THEATRICAL DIFFERENCE.—A case of general r in: t i b "lode: Y.ittnhoasett importance to the theatrical profession was heard before Sheriff Arkley, at Edinburgh, on Friday last, and again on Monday, in which Mr. Charles Lyall, of the Royal English Opera Company, is pursuer, and the said oompany and the managers—Miss Louisa Pyne and Mr. W. Harri son—are defenders. Mr. Lyall sues for recovery of HalarYs withheld by the managers under these circumstances :—BY the memorandum of agreement between the pursuer and defenders, the former is taken bound " to give his exclusive services to the said Louisa Pyne and William Harrison, to play and sing such parts as may be required of him, either in London or the provinces ;" and the agreement is declared " to be subject to the rules and regulations annexed;" No. uhecceohpme part cancellation in three ianti omadoin. addition f Edinburgh, rtoi weeks is gt o o hhr t : ,i an y performer refusing or ne t cast assigned to si h n i g m a r a he l3 r la b y y , the d 4gloeoftinwhgiotoh actec alapresartthoar unasidgrhaeotdgrhatereby forfeited three weeks' salary managers, s hall Mr. Lyall to her engagement, or either, at the option of the managers." fo a r n fe d i t bem f s o uel his or her salary, opera.

Mr. Dundas Grant, advo cate, appeared for the for the defenders, pursner, and Mr. Somerville, S. S.C., Mr, Somerville, in defence, pleaded let, that the sheriff h a d n o jurisdiction, the defenders being foreigners, who had not re sided 40 days in Scotland, and that the Court of Session was the only commune forum, be fore which a foreigner, not having a 40 days' domicile, can be competently sued, in support of which he quoted numer ous authorities-2d, to the merits, he pleaded non-liability, in respect of the terms of the agreement between the par ties. Mr. Grant replied at great length, and also cited nu merous authorities in favour of the pursuer's case. At the close of the arguments, the sheriff intimated that he would take time to consider his judgment. Mr. Somerville then stated that his clients being anxious to obtain a judgment, without prolonging the litigation, he was quite ready to give up the plea of no jurisdicton, and to take the sherif's judgment upon the agreement itself if the pursuer would consent to that course without leading proof. This Mr. Grant was willing to do if practicable ; but the sheriff having intimated that he could not make up his mind upon the agreement withourvorne light from individuals conver sant with operatic management, the case was ultimately continued, that a re mit may be arranged to a person ao qualified.—Nerth J3ritish Daily Mail. w- GUILDHALL EmaNnTalFtinTgAloNli3: have just D e ff e e,, C te i d ty a C n O m itt ee who are the Royal Insurance Company for £50,000 On in new erections, ttings, and furniture, &c., of Gatilerialbiljaacl7,7r the spec° of six weeks, to cover the period poops which the hazards of the preparations and festivitiem in existence.
