From the balance remain ing they refunded to reserved fund account the sutra of £7,341 2s. 4d. taken from it last Year, and, in consideration of the greatly extended business of the bank, carried to credit a further sum of £25,000, thus raising that fund to £225,000. They also passed the sum of £5,000 to superannuation fund, and £15,000 to building fund, carrying forward £10,568105. 3d. to credit of profic and loss account for the current year. The chair- Man said that there was a gross profit of £486,000, or nearly half the paid-up capital of the bank, and a net profit of £242,000 from the operations of the past year—a result due in a great degree to the able and excellent conduct of the general manager, Mr. Balfour, and of the other officers at home and abroad. In acknowledgment of these services it was proposed to grant to all the employes of the bank a gratuity of 10 per cent. The chairman also announced that satisfactory arrangements had been entered into with the Fishmonger's Company for a long lease of a most eligible site at the • corner of Lombard-street, Gracechurch-street (one of the most desirable situations in the city for business) for their new premises. The fact of the net profits being over 24 per cent. on the paid up capital this year was principally attributed to the excellence of the management by the share holders themselves at the meeting.

The country markets continue to be amply supplied with wheat, and at those held on Saturday the trade was in a sluggish state, at about previous quotations. Good and fine malting barley moved off steadily, at full prices; but other descriptions met a slow sale, on former terms. For oats, beans, peas, and flour, there was a moderate demand, at late currencies. At New York the export trade, as regards wheat and flour, remains without improvement, and at the leading continental ports the demand for produce for shipment to Great Britain is much restricted. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were seasonably good, but the receipts of flour were far from extensive. Ths imports from abroad amounted to '22,079 qrs wheat, 1,855 barley, 16,417 oats, 750 beans, 1,000 peas, 1,184 tares, 13,460 linseed, 14,165 oilseeds, 30 maize, 10 sundry seeds, 320 sacks and 14,574 brls flour. A limited supply of home grown wheat was received fresh up to our market, to-day, bath from Essex and Kent, and there was a falling off in the general condition of the produce. For all qualities the trade was in a sluggish state, and last Manday's quotations were barely supported. Factor, however, succeeded, in most instances, in obtaining previous quotations. The supply of foreign wheat on the stands was by no means extensive. In all descriptions, sales progressed slowly, yet no change took place in prices, compared with this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain Were in limited Request, at late rates. Owing to the mildness of the weather there was less activity in the demand for malting barley, and prices had a drooping tendency.

THAMES. AMENITIES Or Woitwarousn RULE.—Catherine Mori arty, a poor woman, who looked very pale, thin, and feeble, was brought before Mr. Paget charged with wil fully and maliciously breaking a large pane of glass and a globe for a gas lamp in the Poplar Workhouse, of which she was an inmate. George Mart, porter at the workhouse, said that the pri soner refused to perform the task of oakum picking assigned to her, and she was put into imprisonment, and out of re venge she broke a pane of glass and a globe. He put in a certificate from the Union doctor that she was in a fit state and able to do the work assigned. The prisoner said she could not work. She was very ill. She had undergone a painful operation in the Poplar Hos pital, and any independent doctor would say that she was not fit to work. The sub-matron of the Popular Union said the prisoner had undergone an operation two years ago, and had been an inmate of the workhouse at repeated intervals for 3k years. When she came into the hou . se she would do nothing. Mr. Paget—ls she really able to do any work? Witnese.—Yes, light. Mr. Paget—What do you call light work? Witness —Oakum picking. Mr. Paget—ls that light work ? Witness—it is, a littlo of it; she is not required to do much, or to work beyond her strength. The prisoner, who trembled very much, said she could not do the work. Mr. Paget said two witnesses had sworn the prisoner could do the work assigned to her. It was a mischievous act to break the property in the workhouse. Ile sentenced her to one month's imprisonment and hard labour.

(FROM THE " TIMES." Garibaldi landed here about an hour ago, and, in spite of the cold rain which fell throughout the day, was received, with immense enthusiasm, by great crowds of spectators. The Ripon was telegraghed from Hurst Castle soon after 1 o'clock, and, in stantly on the receipt of the news, the gentlemen who wished to welcome their visitor hurried to the steamtug in the docks which had been waiting, with steam up ready to start at a moment's notice, since last night. Among them were the Duke of Sutherland, Mr. Seely, M.P., a deputation from the Italians resident in England, consisting of Mr. Negretti, Mr. Sermanza, Mr. Serena, and Mr. Vivanti ; Mr. Cowan, from Newcastle, and several members of the corporation. A short run down Southampton Water soon brought the party in sight of the Ripon, rounding the point at Hurst Castle, and as soon as she was near enough to dis tinguish the flag of the tug the Ripen stopped, and the gentlemen at once scrambled on board to welcome General Garibaldi to England. The party made a considerable addition to the com pany in the state cabin of the Ripon, where the majority of the passengers ware ladies, with their children and Indian nurses, invalids, and a few officers coming home on furlough— the usual complement of passengers, in short. dtall the Peninsular and Oriental steamers 1. ,, , me from the East. Garibaldi was in his n for which, of course, such a rush was Mai l,e by all his eager welcomers that only a fe w could get in, while the remainder so effectual' .iy closed the entrance that the General himer:::i could not get out. The Duke of Sutherlae,,," and Mr. Seely, however, managed to get i7; (0 th e li tt l e arartm a e . , r and after a short an hurried welcome to its famous occupant thc General came out to receive the congratulations of his other friends in the saloon. He was dressed in the plain uniform of the Italian Legion, a dress which became him well, and in which, through the portraits, we have hitherto been most familiar with his features. With him was his son, Menotti Garibaldi, who was wounded with his father at Aspromonte, but who has entirely recovered the effects of his injury, though Garibaldi still suffers, and, from the stiffness of the tendons of the ankle, is likely to feel his hurt for some time. One of the chief reasons assigned for his visit to this country is that he may place himself under the care of Dr. Ferguson, and, if possible, remove his lameness be fore it becomes chronic. Accompanying Garibaldi on board the Ripon were Signors Bosco and Lugeso, his secretaries, Colonel Chambers, and an Italian surgeon. The efforts to which we have alluded of persons anxious to induce Garibaldi to honour them with a first visit instead of going either to the Mayor or Mr. Seely became almost et once a subject of discussion, or, to use the very mildest term, of arrangement, It then transpired that so anxious were the persons who had favoured the idea of General Garibaldi's visiting a Mr. Richardson, instead of the Mayor of Southampton, that on Saturday night they had hired a steamer, intercepted the Ripon at some dis tance from the land, and given an invitation to Gen. Garibaldi to stay with Mr. Richardson—an invita tion which Garibaldi, on the advice of Col. Char A _ hers, who entirely supported the views of what may be called the party of Mr. Richardson, was induced to accept. Thus, therefore, before Garibaldi landed he found that two most distinct and, divided par ties were anxious for the honour of entertaining him, and that he was pledged to bbe, while he saw at a glance that propriety 'would lead him in courtesy to accept that off , ,red by Southampton in the person of the Mayor.. It was a long time un certain which would. 'oe finally accepted, and deci sions were coma to and altered every minute; but at last, on the urgent request and explanation of Mr. Seely, Garibaldi decided in favour of going to the Mayor's, amid loud applause. By the time this last resolution was arrived at the Ripon was close on the docks, all the quays of which were lined with crowds. Garibaldi at once went up on the paddlebox, and the instant he was seen he was hailed with -tremendous cheers, which were continued incessantly till the vessel came alongside. The; formal invitation to the Mayor's house was then given, to which General Garibaldi replied by shaking his worship warmly by the hand, and say. ing, " I am grateful to you for your kind reception, and thankfully accept your hospitality.' The General then left the Ripon, and proceeded in an open carriage through the town to the Mayor's resi dence at East-park. Everywhere he was received in the streets with the most hearty enthusiasm, and notwithstanding that it was Sunday, flags were hoisted in all directions. Befere leaving the Ripon, Garibaldi gave to Mr. Negretti, a countryman of hie, and an old friend, a small scrap of paper, on which he wrote with a pencil— " Carl Amici,—Desidero non aver dimostrazioni politicali. " G. GARIBALDI, "P.S.—Sepra tutto, non eccitare tumulti." ("Dear Friends,—l do not desire any political demons stration ; above all, not to excite any agitation.") On Friday next he will be entertained at a grand banquet here, and on Saturday arrive in London. While in the metropolis he will be the guest of the Duke of Sutherland at Stafford-house. (FROM ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) In less then ten minutes I was on board the small steamer going out to receive the mails, if the tide, then at dead ebb, would not allow the Ripon to come into dock; and in a very few minutes more the steamer was under weigh, and bound down the Water, which scholars say is named by Tacitus as the Antona ; on the shores of which took place, ac cording to all accounts, the scene between Canute and his courtiers ; down which passed Henry V. on his martial way to France, after detecting the con spiracy of Lords Cambridge and Scroop and Sir Thomas Gray ; up which came Philip of Spain, on his way to his Royal bride ; and by which floated in olden days many a rich argosy bound for Venice—a port long connected by ties of trade with Southamp ton and the Itchin River. Lying to between Netley and Calshot Castle, the Ripon could not be distin guished over the point until nearly two o'clock, when there appeared through the mist which lay thick upon the water the dim form of the dilatory packet, which had been, so it is said, saluted with musketry by some persons at the Needles. The tug of the quarantine officer and of the Custom House having boarded her, the mail boat was allowed to approach, and in a few minutes I was on board the Ripon and making my way aft. Hero I found that al mos t a t the same time a number of persons had boarded the packet from the port side, and had at once rushed to the saloon where Garibaldi was seated. The gentlemen, among whom were the Duke of Suther land, and Mr. Seely, M.P„ were less demonstra tive than the others, who, upon one pretence or another, had come aboard; and it was pitiable to see the way in which they took possession of that lame man and grovelled before him. The general looked careworn, and in some bonily pain, but he chatted as well as the throng would permit with those Italians who had come down to meet him, and prominent among whom was Mr. H. Negretti. . He wore his red shirt, over which was thrown a grey cloth cloak, lined with red. Ilia trousers were of a light grey, and round his neck lay loosely the well. known pink and white silk kerchief, while a black , silk cravat set offhis grizzled beard. When he came on deck afterwards, it was seen with what pain he walked, and it must be said that it was hardly con siderate to compel him to such exertion, when to the most casual observer the loosely-fitting slipper and the writhing limp showed at every step the discomfort, if not actual pain, to which he was being subjected. It was thought that perhaps the pilot would not risk the entrar.ce to the docks, even with the advantage of the young flood; but pre. iently a little ball, which had been hanging above the foretop, broke into a red bargee, which, with the Peninsular and Oriental Company's flag, told to all that the Ripon herself was going in, At the main was an Italian flag, very creditably made up for the occasion by the sailmaker, and at the stern was the red ensign. As we neared the docks the Italian flog was made out by the people assembled on the jetties, stages, and breakwaters, and there was a faint cheer. But as the Ripon got nearer the crowds seemed to increase. 1864, METROPOLITAN CATTLE. The show of foreign stock in our market, to-day, was only moderate, yet the demand for it ruled inactive, at barely late rates. From cur own grazing districts, the arrival of beasts fresh up this morning, were on the increase, and the quality of most breeds was prime, especially the Scots and crosses from Norfolk and Scotland. The beef trade was in a very inactive state, at last Monday's quotations. The general top `figure for beef was 4s 8d ; but very prime arrivals realised 4s 10d per Sib. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridge, amounted to 2,200 Scots, shorthorns and crosses; from other parts of England, 600, various breeds; from Scotland, 266 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 103 oxen and heifers. We were fairly supplied with sheep for the time of year, and nearly all breeds came to hand in good saleable oondi- tion, Prime Downs and half-breds in the wool, sold slowly, at late rates; otherwise, the mutton trade was dull and heavy, sheep declined 2d per 81b. The best Downs, in the wool, sold at 6s; out of the wool, 4s 8d to 4s 10d per 81b. The top quotation for clipped Lincolns was 4s 4d per Slb. Lambs moved off steadily at from 6s 8d to 7s 4d per 81b. A few very superior lambs pro• duced 7s 84 per 81b. The supply was only moderate. Calves—the show of which was moderate•—were in slow request at later, namely, from 4s 4 , 1 to 5s 44 per 81b. The demand for pigs was in a sluggish state, at last week's currency. Per Blbs.to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.

[rhe following letters have been sent to us for publication, and our readers, we aro assured, will thank us for inserting them, seeing that they are the very original comments upon an enthralling theme penned by that veteran Traveller and Natu ralist, Charles Waterton, the veteran Squire of Walton Hall, better known to the world at large out of Yorkshire as the celebrated author of the " Wan derings.''—ED, SUN.] (1) Walton-hall, March, 1864. • - The roar of Lord Nelson's cannon has long ago informed the world whereabouts this useful river terminates its course. But its source has not been so satisfactorily de fined. No doubt in its own native land the fountain-head of tls„ Nile, be it large or small, is as well known to thos% Rho inhabit its vicinity, as the source of the river ;,alder is to us industrious people who cultivate lands th e W es t Riding of Yorkshire, The comforts of home have but little mold on the mind of the explorer; thus, the missionary fr dr the love of God, the merchant for the love of gold, thr . , soldier for glory, and the adventurer for fame, will d,:fy_ difficulties and resolutely enter countries where doP:ch in all the horrors of fever, starvation, and ill-tr -v itment is everlastingly staring them in the face. Great mind s, Will unflinchingly contend with great diffi culties--d'"Acuities apparently unconquerable. On some day, r .ot far off, when winter's cold blasts shall howl dis triatly around us, we may in the social chimney-corner take a comfortable view of old father Nile, and see what those brave souls have done when engaged in long pursuits of him, in his mysterious windings to the threshold of his distant hiding-place. CHARLES WATERTON. ( 2 ) Walton Hall, March, Mt " Niins in extremum fugit perterritus orbem Occubuitque caput, quod adhue latet." We have before us on the page of history four separate accounts of good old Father Nile. Ovid, some 2,003 years ago, has informed us that during the awful conflagration of the world (caused, we are told, by the follies of a brainless cabman), Father Nile was scared out of his wits, and took himself off into Mother Earth's extremest boundary. There he hid his head, which still lies concealed ; so far the poet. For some centuries after this no one knew what had be come of the terrified fugitive, until one day some adventu rous and holy sons of St. Ignatius d 3 Loyola stumbled on him in Abyssinia, whilst they were engaged in preaching Christ crucified to the surrounding Gentiles. Things went on gingerly in these distant wilds of Africa, when a well• known native of Caledonia travelled into these regions in quest of Father Nile's dark cavern. He fancied that he had succeeded in his investigations ; and he then informed the scientific world of his success, congratulating himself that ho alone was the discoverer of the long-hidden sourca o f the Nile. And now, in our own days, twa hardy explorers, dissa tisfied with former accounts, sallied forth from home, and stopped not until they had reached the very spot where the scorched king of the Nile had hidden himself at the time when the world was on fire. Should these accounts still ba unsatisfactory, let us hopo that some experienced investigator may speedily go on his travels; and that (avoiding, however, the track of the go rilla, in which science has lately cut so sad a figure) his discoveries may content all parties, and prove to the world at large that the source of the Nile no longer remains a doubt. Whilst talking of the River Nile, we wish to hear no more that " Adhue sub jutlice Hs est." CHARLES WATERTON. ( 3 ) Walton Hall, March, 1861. " Sodas ocius sors:axitura." Leaving to the Roman poet his river and his river's mysterious hiding-place, let us see what lights the labours of investigators have thrown upon the wonderful Nile during these our later times of scientific research and useful exploration. - There appeared towards the close of the 15th century a Bascayan gentleman, whose genius, piety, and zeal have placed science at a surprising altitude, and procured the blessings of domestic happiness to the most barbarous nations of the then known world. This was Don Ignatius of Loyola, an officer in the Spanish army, and the illuatri • ous founder of the Society of Jesus. Its members became such intrepid and staunch apostles of the Catholic creed that Voltaire, the sworn enemy of our Redeemer, was often heard to say he could not destroy Christianity until he had destroyed the Jesuits. A most merited compliment indeed 1 . . These indefatigable missionaries soon penetrated into Abyssinia, where their labours and their successes asto • niched the surrounding multitudes. In order to form s correct notion of what these intrepid men effected, I refer the reader to a work called " Lettres Edifiantes et Curl suns," of which I shall translate an extract in my fourth letter on the Nile. There will be seen what is said of the river Nilo in the new edition of " Memoires du Levant." Tome troisieme 5. Paris Chez' G. Merigol (le jeune) libraire, Quai des ♦ugustine, au coin de la Rue Paro, M.D., cc. Luz., aveo approbation et privilege du Roi, p. 331. CHARLES WATERTON, (4) (Translated from the French.) There are only about 60 French leagues from Teemba to the source of the Nile. I had intended to see these famous sources, of which so much had been said in Europe, and the Emperor had the goodness to give me a company of cavalry to conduct me thither, and thus serve as an escort ; but I could not avail myself of so favourable an opportunity, having found myself at the time much incommoded by a disease of the chest. I besought Mourat, one of the Prime Ministers of the Emperor, and uncle of the ambassador, concerning whom I have already spoken, to give me information about the Nile. Mourat is a venerable old man aged 104 years, who has been employed during more than 60 of these in most important negotiations with the Mogul, and in all the Courts of the Indies, The Emperor has so much conside ration for him that he commonly calls him Baba-Mourat, or Father Mourat. See what this Minister, who has been often at the sources of the Nile, and who has inspected them with care, reports to me concerning them. There is in the kingdom of Goyame a very lofty moun tain, at the summit of which are two strong springs of water, one to the east, the other to the west. From these proceed two streams which precipitate themselves In a headlong course towards the centre of the mountain, into a spongy and boggy soil, producing canes and rushes. These waters only appear ten or a dozen leagues from this spot, whole, winding, they form the river Nile, which in a short time increases in size, as it receives the water of many streams. It is remarkable that the Nile flows through the middle of a lake without mixing its own waters with those of the lake. This lake is so extensive that it is called Bahal Dembea, i.e., the sea of Dembea. The surrounding country is of the most enchanting de • scription. On every side are to be seen hamlets and fine groves of laurels. It is about 100 leagues in length, and from 35 to 40 in breadth. The water is soft and pleasant, and much lighter than that of the Nile. About the middle of the Lake there is an island in which the Emperor has a palace in no degree inferior to that of Gondar for the beauty and magnificence of its architecture, although it is not quite so large. CUAULES WITILILTON ( 5 ) Walton Hall, April, 186 Rome, during her days of Pagan splendour, dealt largely in fables. But, after her acceptance of Christianity, h er chimeras gave w ay to truth, and in due course of time, the sable sons of Ethiopia received from her hands a plentiful supply of heavenly grace. It is impossible to read that valuable work, the Leans Edifiinte4," and not be con• vinced that the sources of the Nile were well known to Europe about the close of the 15th century, through the incessant exertions of Loyola's faithful and enterprising sons. YV On pernsmg, long ago, the travels of the Caledonian ex plorer, in six volumes, from the year 1768 to 1773, I felt sorry to find them replete with venom against those valu able missionaries ; although ha does not seem to have been personally acquainted with a single individual of that learned band. Indeed, I concluded that their labours were a fatal ob stacle to his own claims as the discoverer of the 1 rue source of the Nile, and that, in order to obtain this desired end, he must absolutely destroy the credit of the Jesuits with the public by defaming their character for veracity. Thus did Lierod, in Judea, cause to be slain the Ara born in every family, lest, one day or other, a claimant might arise from amongst them and dispute his right to the crown. Not that I would wish to subtract a single iota from the merit due to his well-earned trophies. Certainly, without aly title to the discovery of the source of the Nile, his labours were tremendous. Far distant from the comforts of an hereditary home, he bore privations with a heart as strong as that of Hercules himself. Giant dangers dwindled down to dwarfish obstacles as he fearlessly approached them, while sickness never once subdued his manly soul. Pity indeed it was that some time after his safe return to his native land death struck him suddenly, and at the very time when there was every appearance of his reaping a well-merited reward for the many troubles, anxieties, dan gers, and disappointments he must have undergone in his wanderings through the trackless wilds of distant Ethiopia, " Ye gentlemen of England Who dwell at home in easP, Oh I little do you think upon The dangers of the seas ; " In a word, methinks that everything in the way of reward is due to him, saving the fame of being the first discoverer of the source of the wonderful Nile.

The following bills were read a third time and passed : North Eastern, Lancashire and Yorksnire, and West Yorkshire Railway Companies—South Yorkshire Railway —and West Norfolk Junction Railway. The order for the second reading of the Walthamstow, Clopton, and City Railway Bill was discharged, and tho bill was withdrawn. THE LISBURN ELECTION COMMITTEE. Mr. ADAIR brought up the report cf the committee ' , which was to the effect that Mr. Stirling was unable from indisposition to attend the committee on the 22d ult., and the sitting was adjourned until to-morrow at 11 o'clock. Dr. Maul's was examined at the bar of the house, and said that he attended Mr. Stirling, who was physically un able to leave his residence. Mr. ADAIR then moved that Mr. Stifling should bo exempted from further attendance. Mr., HUNT contended that the motion was irregular, as the committee, by the rules of the house, could not be adjourned during the recess beyond the first day of the reassembly. The hon. member cited the authority of Mr. Clerk, the barrister,who had written a work on the proceed ings in Parliament, in support of the argument. He con sidered the subject should be referred to a select cam . 133,1 ttee. Mr. ADAIR said that if the committee adjourned until to-day they could not, according to the 75th section and proviso of the act relating to committees, transact any busi ness, or even adjourn to another day. Sir U. GREY admitted that the matter was very im portant, and he submitted that the proper course would be to have the report printed, and brought up for consideration to-morrow, when hon. members would under stand the nature of the subject they would have to decide. This suggestion was adopted, the original motion having been withdrawn after a few words from Mr. WALPOLE. ENLISTMENT FOR T'IIE_FEDERAL STATES IN IRELAND, &c. Colonel DICKSON gave notice that he would ask cer tain questions relative to the militia in Ireland, and also as to the inducements held out_for enlistment for the Federal States in that country. THE GOVERNMENT POLICY IN REGARD TO THE DANISH QUESTION. Mr• PEACOCKE gave notice that he would move that this house approves the policy of the Government to adhere to the treaty of 1852, though he might object to the mode in which that policy was carried out. (Laughter.) He expressed a hope that the Danish Government would not depart from the promises given in 1851 and 1852. THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that he would bring on the subject of the ballot after Whitsuntide. (Laughter.) NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a new writ was ordered to issue for the election of a member for the city of Oxford, in the room of the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, who had accepted the office of one of her Majesty's Principal Secre. taries of State. THE DANO-GERMAN QUESTION. In reply to Mr. B. OSBORNE, Lord PALMERSTON said that all the Powers whci were parties to the treaty of 185 had agreed to send: representatives to the Conference, but no answer on the subject had yet been received from the German Diet. The basis of the Conference would be to restore the peace ei Europe. (Laughter.) It was thought it would not be right to settle anything before which could be best decided on at the Conference. No armistice had been agreed on. RESIGNATION OF MR. STANSFELD. Mr. STANSFELI), in order to afford him an opportunity; of making a personal explanation, moved the adjournment of the house. He said he felt bound on a former occasion to tender his resignation, which the noble lord (Palmer-. ston) had refused to accept in the most chivalrous manner; He thought, however, this was one of the occaeione when a man ought not to consult his own fealings. and he had availed himself of the refusal of the noble lord 4 He became convinced that by retaining office he would bet embarrassing a Government which he desired to support. The hon. member then entered into a statement, anctha i n dignantly disclaimed the imputations made by .the Pro cureu r-General of France, and said h e felt : it due . for an address. From long experienceso Mazzini and to himself th at the former should be this first to state what use h e had made of his which he had given with whic h he had been charged , but although he (Mr s with the object of his life,, Stansfold) had every sympathy of Mazzini he believed he was q uite inca p able of theactiong the unity and independence of Italy, he might haver m de e n t i h e o d d t s ha w t e h re e n k o n t eswo a p n r y ac th ti i c ia a , l asthotuhgeyhtwseormeesatimugeusitnhea.t tHhee of Greco or his alleged accomplices until he read in th% newspapers of their arrest. With regard to Tibaldi, heat might have seen him in 1857, but neither he nor any other person dared to make such suggestions as had been stated. Massarenti was a dealer in niaccaroni cakes, and the only* money he ever paid him was for these era-. ales. He knew Campanella well as a scholar s and ono who was incapable of doing what was attributed; to him, Lord PALMERSTON expressed his regret at the load of the hon. member's services, and passed a high eulogiuz on him for his high intellectual and moral qualities which• endeared him to all 'who knew him. and must be of thet greatest benefit to any U overnment with which he was con nected. Ile contended that the hon. member was as in capable of the acts most basely imputed to him as any* hon. member of that house.
