LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day, COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Special Jury.) THE ATTORNEY •GENERAL V. SILLEM AND OTHERS-THE CASE OF THE ALEXANDRA. Sir Hugh Cairns continued his speech for the defence this morning. Yesterday he adverted to the fact that since the Foreign Enlistment Act had been passed in 1819 no case had been presented until the present one, when. he said, the Attorney-General put his obsolete Act in force for the purpose of appeasing the hostile feelings of the Federais towards the Confederates. This morning the learned counsel quoted several decisions in some respects bearing on the case, especially one come to in the Federal States, in reference to the ship Alfred, which it had been alleged was being built as a privateer to aid the French in hostilities against England. The decision was that it was not unlawful to fit out a privateer. It must be proved that the vessel was required for the illegal purpose alleged. There was also an opinion expressed by the Solicit , r-General in reference to the Alabama, in which he said that she might have been legitimately built for a foreign Government, and though a ship of war might have formed a legiti mate article of merchandise, even if meant, for the Con federate States, but it would be an infringement of the Foreign Enlistment Act if it could be proved that the parties who built the vessel knew that it was intended to be used by the Confederate Government for purposes of war against the Federal Government, with whom we were at peace. The learned counsel then com mented on the evidence for the prosecution, which, he said, had been given by five discharged workmen, one crimp, and two informers or spies. The question the jury had to con sider was, not what might be done with the vessel, or what she could be converted into, as one of the witnesses had been particular in surmising, but what she actually was at the time of the seizure. There were many things in the construction of the ship similar to the method of construct ing a vessel of war, but she might have been intended for a yacht, and there was no arrangement for fixing guns, nor was there any evidence to prove that she was intended for warlike purposes, After commenting upon the evidence of the less conspicuous witnesses, he adverted to that of Mr, Clarence R. Young, whose history be briefly reviewed and NI hich was by no means credi table. This witness was evidently the witness put forward by Mr. Adams, and not by the Crown, and the learned counsel sympathised with the Solicitor-General in being obliged to examine such a disgraceful witness. The learned council concluded his address by calling on the jury to give a jury for his clients, and thus preserve that strict neutrality in reference to the American war, which this country had hitherto pursued, and not upon the meagre evidence adduced, pander to the exigencies of a foreign state. No witness being called, this concluded the case for the The Attorney General then rose to reply on behalf of the Crown, on the whole case. He remarked that the jury had the evidence of the Crown on one side, and the learned speech of Sir Hugh Cairns on the other. It was significant that no evidence had been produced for the defence. Had the defence been able to contradict the statement made by Mr. De Costa that Mr. Miller, senior, had told him that the vessel was intended for the Oonfederate Government, why was not Mr, Miller called to contradict it. The Crown had refrained from indicting any persons engaged in practices made illegal by the Foreign Enlistment Act, but has adopted the more lenient course of asking that the vessel should be declared forfeited. His Lordship, in the course of these remarks, asked the Attorney-General if he admitted it to be lawful to build a vessel fit for war, and afterwards to sell it to either of the belligerent Powers, that is, could a shipbuilder so specu late without acting illegally. At tho conclusion of the learned gentleman's address,l The Lord Chief Baron summed up the case, and The jury immediately returned a verdict for the defen dants, COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. DICKSON T. LORD COMISERMERE AND OTHERS, The trial of this action was resumed this morning, for the sixth day. Viscount Hardinge examined by Mr. Dowdeswell—ln 1858 he was Parliamentary Under Secretary at War, and recollected the letter of Lord Combermere of the 4th of June, and the minute of the 9th was in his handwriting. He had acted on his own responsibility, as he saw at once that further information was required. The letter of the 14th of May merely contained the charges, without Colonel Dickson's replies ; that was superseded by another letter of the 9th of June from Lord. Combermere, containing the charges, with Col. Dickson's answers. On the 24th June, the whole of these documents were considered by himself and Sir Henry Storks. He formed his opinion thereon, entirely concurred with Sir H. Storks, and wrote a memorandum for the information of Gen. Peel. He believed that he received additional charges from Earl Wilton against Colonel Dick son, which he returned to him, stating that they must come in the usual official manner from the Lord Lieutenant. After the.fe proccediogs, the documents, with the minutes, were submitted to Gen. Peel, who directed that, as the charges were of a military character, the matter ought to be transferred to the military advisers, General Douglas and Sir Henry Storks. He recollected that Col. Dickson sent a letter demanding a court-martial, and he directed that the opinion of the Judge Advocate should be taken, which was done, and it was found it could not be granted, more than six months having elapsed since.the regiment was disembodied. The Lord Chief Justice said it was quite unnecessary to go over this ground again : they had had all the minutes before them. It was quite right to put Lord Hardingo in the box, that questions might be put by the other side, Witness was then cross , examined briefly by Mr. Cole ridge, but the questions only related to unimportant points. Lieutenant-General Peel was then called, and before giving his evidence informed the Court that he had obtained the consent of her Majesty to state matters that came before him as Secretary of War. He then said he was Secretary of War from January, 1858, to June, 1859. He could not recollect any dates, but as they had been so repeatedly mentioned he had no doubt they were correct. He recol lected Lord Combermere, Lord Wilton, and Colonel North calling on him in relation to Colonel Dickson. Lord Com bermere said they had been to the Horse Guards for the purpose of obtaining a court martial, and they had been referred to the War-office. Finding that it was a militia case, and having only been a short time in office, and not much acquainted with the militia, he sent for Mr. Mar shall, the head of the Militia Department, and he informed Lord Combermere that the course to be pursued in relation to the dismissal of a Militia officer was for the Lord Lieutenant to send in a statement of the charges to the Secretary of State, and that there could not be a court martial, as the regiment bad been disembodied. He had read through all the documents in this case, and had formed his judgment upon Colonel Dickson's own answers to the charges made against him, freely admitting the explanation of Colonel Dickson, and saying nothing affecting his honour. Whatever doubt there might be as to the figures, there could be no doubt as to the fact that the regiment, when it was disembodied, was greatly in debt. It was the duty of the commanding officer of a regiment to see that the ac counts of the regiment were not in arrear. He found that there was a balance of £3l out of the monies received from the Wellington College in relation to the accident, and with out at all questioning the manner in which Colonel Dick son had appropriated these monies, he found there was a sum of £2l Ils owing to tradesmen (Messrs. Isaacs) for clothing supplied to the regiment, and he found that there were other bills for £35 15s and £3O Gs 10d, Without doubt ing Colonel Dickson's honour, he thought that to have allowed the regimental accounts to get in such a state showed that Colonel Dickson was an unfit person to have the command of a regiment. He had nothing to do with the proceedings of the Board of Inquiry, and never saw their report or minutes of evidence. The board was in the first instance intended by him to have been formed of Militia officers, and he had intended that the Duke of Rich mond should be one, but it was found that the appointment of Militia officers was impracticable, and he then referred the appointment to the Horse Guards, and requested his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chiet to appoint three experienced officers. He considered Colonel Franklyn, Lord Arthur Hay, and Colonel Hale. He signed the letter of the 10th of June on the minutes of Sir Henry Storks, and also the letter of the 29th to Lord Cotabermere, direct ing him to call upon Col. Dickson to resign, and intima ting that in the event of his refusal he should feel it his duty to recommend his dismissal ; and be also assumed that General Douglas had seen the report. The crass-examination of General Peel having closed, The Lord Chief Justice thought there was nothing in the case to affect General Peel, and under such circum stances he ought to be relieved from the action. After some conNersation, Mr. Coleridge assented to this course, and the action then proceeded against the two r - maining defendants. The Earl of Wilton was then examined at length as to the circumstances connected with this transaction, but only confirmed the statements made by his counsel, Mr. Lush, in his opening address. The further hearing of the care was adjourned till Friday next. _ very difficult one. She told my young friends that her charges were only 10s, Plaintiff—Why I never said such a thing. It was a pipe skirt, with a pipe cord, and the dress was 51 yards round. His Honour—What did the silk cost ? Mrs. Coleman—L3 15s. The lady here walked into the space directly facing the judge, and holding up her mantle said, "This is the dress," His Honour—lt is a very handsome one. Plaintiff—And it would take nearly one week to make. His Honour—l cannot say fiLat . 14e. is too much for making a dress of this kind. You women have disagreed, and it would have been better to have paid all the money. Verdict for plaintiff with costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A NIGHT SCENE IN PICCADILLY.—Mr. AlfrLd May how, of Portland, Dorsetshire, wine merchant, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with being drunk and disorderly in Piccadilly, and assaulting Police Sergeant Fornett, 292 A, Wm. Moore, 187 C, and Wm. Fish, 331 A., and Louisa Franklin, a prostitute, of 7 ; Stanley-street, Brompton, was also charged with striking Sergeant Fornett on the head with an umbrella. Sergeant Fornett said—About a quarter to one this morning I saw the male defendant outside the Royal Stan dard public .house, in Piccadilly, just at the top of the Hay market. He had been expelled from that house, and had lost his hat. As he was screaming drunk, and creating a great disturbance, I advised him to go away, but he refused to do so. I then told him that if he did not discontinue his noise I should be obliged to take him into custody, and attempted to do so, when he struck me twice in the face. I then took hold of him, when he struggled, and we both fell, and while on the ground he set to kicking as if he was mad. HiA conduct here became so outrageous that it took us 20 minutes to get him to the station in Vine-street. There were not fewer than 1,000 persons assembled, and there was a scene of the most riotous description. While on the way to the station the female (Franklin) came up and said, " You brute, let him go," and she then struck me across the head with an umbrella. I had no hat on at the time, having lost it in the melee. Mr. Tyrwhitt—That shows what a useless thing the police hat is in a row. Sergeant Fornett—l then took Franklin to the station. She had been drinking, but was not drunk. While at the station the male defendant struck the gaoler, and his con duct was so disgraceful that he was obliged to he removed to a lower cell, as he disturbed the whole neighbourhood. Fish, 331 A, said—On going to the spot I found the ser geant and the male defendant on the ground, and on at tempting to raise the defendant he struck me a violent blow in the mouth, cutting my lip very badly. On asking the defendant to go quietly, he said, " I'll not go for the police. I will fight Tom Sayer, or any other man in Eng land." The female on the way to Vine-street struck the sergeant with her umbrella. She was with tha male defendant outside the Royal Standard, but I don't know whether she had been with him before. Moore, 187 C, said—On attempting to assist in taking the male defendant to the station he struck and kicked me, and made use of very violent language. The defendant Mayow—l was struck by the police. Sergeant Fornett—Yes, I struck you, but it was to pre vent you biting me in a most cowardly manner. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked Mayow what he had to say to the charge. Mayow—l had been drinking, and was exasperated. Franklin—l did not strike the sergeant, and only inter fered on behalf of the gentleman. Mr. Tyrwhitt—These assaults on the police are without defence. I shall fine Mayow 20s. or 14 days for each as sault, and Franklin ss. or seven days. It was stated in court that such a turbulent scene has not been witnessed in the neighbourhood of the Haymarket for years, ELECTION OF SHERIFFS. THIS DAY. The election of two citizens to fill the office of Sheriffs of London and Middlesex took place to-day in the Guildhall, the candidates for the honour being Alderman Dakin and Messrs. Neissen, Mitchell, and Cave. At one o'clock the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, the respective candidates and their friends entered the hall, at which hour there was a full attendance of the livery and a considerable number of "long shore" men. As Messrs. Neissen and Mitchell had been nominated on a former occasion, it only became necessary to submit their names as candidates. Mr. THOMAS REYNOLDS said he had a gentleman to pro pose, who would, he felt assured, well maintain the privileges of the citizens of London, and at a time when their privileges had been attempted to bo invaded, it was of the utinost importance they should have sheriffs who will do all in their power to preserve their rights in all their inte grity. He had treat pleaeure in proposing Mr, Thomas Cave. Mr. GLOVER seconded the nomination of Mr. Cave, and said if the citizEms elected him tho,) would have the right man in the rigbt place, The names of the respective candidates were then sub mitted to the livery, when Alderman LAWRENCE declared that the election had fallen upon Hilliary Neissen, Esq., and Thomas Cave, Esq. (Cheers.) The COMMON SERGEANT then submitted the name of Benjamin Scott for re election as City Chamberlain. Mr. JONES said he hoped before they re-elected the City Chamberlain they would give him a few minutes attention. the speaker then proceeded, amidst cantinued interruption, to complain of the way in which the city accounts were kept, and which he said were 18 months in arrear. Mr. MEISSEN and Mr. CAVE having returned thanks for the honour conferred on them, the proceedings terminated. THE BRAZILS. - - --f - BUENOS AYRES, May 15. The National Congress of the Argentine Repub lic was opened upon the 4th inst. Upon the 2d, Don Mariano Saavedra was elected and proclaimed Governor of the Province of Buenos Ares—a circumstance which removes all appre hension of a oonflict between the national and pro vincial authorities. The works of the railway from Rosario to Cor dova have been commenced. A silver mine has been discovered at Gualeguay, in the province of Entre-Rios. Civil war has broken out in the Argentine Re public. General Penazola, with the bandsunder his com mand, holds the country in the province of Rioja, while his lieutenants (Ciavero and Outivero) have raised the standard of revolt in five other provinces especially in those of San Luiz and Cordova. It was at first reported that the forces of the Govern ment had been routed by the rebels, but the latest intelligence received by way of Montevideo states as certain that Penazola's guerillas have been de feated by the regular troops. When the Republic of Montevideo was invaded by General Flores, the former chief of the Colorado party—an expedition said to have been fomented and encouraged by the Government of the Argen tine Confederation—the Italian and Portuguese charges d'nffaires believed themselves bound to in tervene with General Mitre, the President, request ing him to observe the strictest neutrality. Gen. Mitre's Minister of Foreign Affairs declined verbal communication, and requested the charges to for ward their observations in writing. The notes were accordingly despatched, but returned by Gen. Mitre without reply, as incompatible with the dig nity and sovereign power of the republic. MONTETIDEO, May 17. General Flores, with 2,000 men, holds all the ter ritory of the republic north of Rio Negro. Six hundred regular troops, sent to reinforce General Llamas, have joined the invader. The Government abstains from publishing unfavourable news. The latest intelligence is that Flores and his partisans are at the gates of the city. Rio DE JANEIRO, May 25. The excitement occasioned by the dispute with England is far from being appeased. It is in fact skilfully kept alive among the masses by the party calling itself Liberal. The Goveinment has found, in this popular sentiment, encouragement to dissolve the Chamber of Dzputie, which took place upon the 12th. General Polydore Jordao, the Minister of War, was strongly opposed to this step, and atter an animated debate upon the subject in the Council of Ministers, sent in his resignation. Its immediate acceptance followed, and the General was replaced by M. Antonio de Mallo, Director of the Astrono mical Observatory. The post of Finance Minister is still vacant. A complete change has taken place in Brazilian politics, the Conservative party, which has held the reins of power almost exclusively for 15 years, hav ing been supplanted by the Liberals. The present Ministry, composed of various elements, was last year selected by the Emperor to avoid the dissolu tion of the Chamber, in which the majority, although small, consisted of Conservatives. This Ministry, however, fell short of its mission by displaying Liberal tendencies. It would undoubtedly have collapsed in January if the Anglo-Brazilian ques tion had not imparted to it a feeble spark of vitality, and enabled it, in union with the Liberal party, to make political capital out of the popular element. When the Chambers were opened the two parties were nearly equal, the Ginservative majority con sisting only of about 15. It was evident that the Ministry could not carry on the Government with such slender meats. The Council of State was re quested to advise upon the question of a dissolution, and decided against the measure. The Emperor, however, IM doubt on account of the English diffi culty, preferred dissolving the Chambers to dismiss ing the Ministry. The decree ordering the dissolution of the Cham bers was read upon the 12th. The primary elec tions are fixed for the 9th of August, the secondary elections a month later. Little doubt exists that the returns will be almost exclusively Liberal. Some apprehension is entertained lest they may give rise to bloodshed in portions of the provinces, although the Conservative chief have ordered their followers to preserve the strictest moderation. Intelligence received here from Bahia states that a new Confederate cruiser, the Georgia, arrived at that port direct from Grceuock on the 12th instant, having been 41 days at Sea. She had captured and burned two vessels, and landed 11 men belonging to their crews at Bahia. MARKETS--This Day. MARK LANE. Fresh up to this morning's market a supply of English wheat was received. The demand ruled far from active either for red or white produce, nevertheless Monday's im provement in the currency was well supported. The show of samples of foreign wheat was large. All descriptions were in slow request, yet prices ruled firm. A very moderate business was done on French account. Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm at full quotations. The supply of barley was small, and the value both of grinding and distilling parcels, notwithstanding that the demand was somewhat inactive, was fully maintained. Malt was in slow request on former terms. The market was well supplied with oats. The best qualities changed hauds slowly, at Monday's quotations ; otherwise the trade was dull. Beans ruled firm, at extreme rates, and the value of peas was well supported. In English and foreign flour a fair business was trans acted, at full quotations. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Harley.

SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A WOMAN --Henry Buck, aged 28, was brought up on remand Wore Mr. Woolrych, charged with committing a savage assault on Catherine Bellmore, or Bellrad, a married woman, who was for severa days under medical treatment, in consequence of the severe injuries she received. The prisoners are Germans, and were dwelling at the time of the occurrence in Providence-street, George. in the-East. the complainant had occasion to go to the house of the defendant for her husband's club-card, which had been left in Buck's possession, Some words passed between Mrs. Buck and Mrs. Bellmore, From words they pro ceeded to blows, and Mrs. Buck struck the complainant a violent blow on the mouth and caused it to bleed. The prisoner then took part in the quarrel, and after striking the complainant, and knocking her down, kicked her seve ral times and disabled her. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, who defended the pri soner, said the complainant was the aggressor, and visited Buck's house for the purpose of quarrelling with them. He called several witnesses, but they did not materially alter the case for the complainant. rN• Mr. Woolrych said the prisoner had committed a very savage assault on the complainant, and no amount of pro.. vocation could justify a man kicking a woman. The com plainant had been in the London Hospital, and was no doubt severely injured. He sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. Crystal Palace and South London Junc- tion Railway. A special general meeting of shareholders was held yesterday at the Victoria station, Sir Cusack Roney in the chair, for the purpose of cOnsideriog a bill before Parliament, entitled "An Act to en able the London, Chatham, and Dover Railway Company to extend their railway to Greenwich, to improve the communication with th© Victoria Station, to execute certain other works in connec tion with their undertaking, and to amend the Acts Of the said Company," &c. The chairman said,be fore moving the adoption of the bill they were met to consider, he would take this opportunity of in forming the shareholders of the present condition and future prospects of the line. As they were all aware, advertisements had been issued by the board, offering the B shares, with a dividend of 6 per cent., taking preference over the A shares, and within a few days all these shares in both classes had been taken up, thus showing the high estimation in which the proposed line stood with the public. Considerable progress had been made in the acquire ment of the land necessary for the line, about two miles of which, belonging to Dulwich. College and the Crystal Palace Company, was already in the possession of the company. The sinking of the shaft for the Crescent Wood Tunnel, and for another adjacent to the Crystal Palace, was in rapid progress, about 15 feet in length having been completed, and the works all fenced in. The board had the assurance of their contractor, Sir Morton Pato, that the line should be ready for traffic by May, 1865. The station for the Crystal Palace would be on the side of the road facing the front of the Palace, and the tedious ascent from the present station would be avoided, the platform of the pro posed station being intended to be nearly on a level with the floor of the palace. Independent of the Crystal Palace traffic there must be a large local and residential traffic, looking at the great number of buildings erecting at all places along the route of the line. He was warranted in this expectation by what had taken place on the Metropolitan Exten sion line, running from Victoria Station to the Elephant and Castle, which had increased since the opening in a most extraordinary ratio. During the first week in January last the number of pas sengers carried on that line had been 15,000, while during the last week the number of passengers had exceeded 62,000. This traffic would become still further developed when the line from the Elephant and Castle to Farringdon-street was completed. The bridge over the Thames would be completed by June, 1864, and the communication with the Metropolitan iinein Farringdon-street would shortly follow. By the time, therefore, their projected line was completed they would be able to reap the full benefit of This important organisation. He con cluded by moving the formal resolution approving of the bill. Mr. Tootal seconded the resolution, which, after the solicitor had read the heads of the bill, was agreed to unanimously. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the chairman and directors. A MISSING STEAMER.—Many inquiries were made at Lloyd's on Saturday respecting the Cata lonian steamer. She left Oporto for Liverpool on the Bth inst., and being now considerably overdue, her premiums of insurance have advanced to a very high rate, 50 guineas being on Saturday paid on her at Lloyds, in addition to the ordinary sea risk. The Catalonian had a very heavy deck load ; a portion of her cargo, consisting of 500 head of cattle, is reported to have bean on deck. She is a large iron•built screw vessel, 600 tons register, 200 horse power, and is 225 feet in length. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON, CHATHAM, AND DOVER RAILWAY.—On Saturday last an acci dent happened to a guard in the service of this company named Henry Maidment, which resulted in immediate death. The deceased was a guard on the good s t ra i n w hich arrivoendoanteCoani the t trucks erbury hold in g o Saturdayo, morning, and was stand ingn a piece of iron whilst some sbunting was going on, when by some m ea ns be was jolted off and fell on the rails, and before the carriages could be stopped, they passed over him, completely smashing his head and chest. SHERIFFS' COURT. THE MYSTERIES OF DRESSMAKING FOR FASHIONABLE IVOMEN.—LEVY V. COLEMAN.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF OF COMMONS.---This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter past twelve. UNIFORMITY ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Sir W. HEATHCOTE presented a petition from the convocation of the University of Oxford against this bill. The hon. baronet also petitioned to the same effect from undergraduates of the University. Mr. WALPOLE presented several similar petitions from the University of Cambridge. Mr. BOUVERIE said that in reference to the state of the bill and of the session, he had considered whether there was a fair prospect of carrying it this session. He had arrived at the unwilling conclusion that he should have no chance of carrying it this session, and he should therefore ask the house to withdraw the order this year, in order that he might re introduce it next session. It was not a bill to compel uni versity authorities to open their doors to nonconformists, but to remove restrictions which were imposed 200 years ago, and which had entirely failed. The object of those who had promoted the bill had been greatly misunderstood. They had no hostility to the Church or the universities, on the contrary, the object was to improve the universities and the educational system which prevailed there. He attached no weight to the petition from the University of Oxford, for there had been no measure of public utility in connection with religion or education introduced which had not been opposed by the University of Oxford. The petitioners from the University seemed to be based upon an error of facts. He begged to move that the order be discharged. Sir W. HE ATHCOTE saidthat 2,000 non-resident mem bers of the University had expressed their approval of the course Convocation had taken in opposing the Lill. The young men, also, of the University, from whom the right hon. gentleman looked for liberality, had also declared their opinion that the bill was a dangerous one. Mr. WALPOLE defended the petitioners from the Uni , versity of Cambridge. He himself had presented a petition from every head of a college but two, from all the tutors, and from a large body of undergraduates. He hoped the right hon. gentleman would not next session bring in this or an amended bill, unless he proved some overwhelming necessity for it, which he felt sure would not be the case. Mr. HADFIELD spoke strongly in favour of such a measure. Mr. NEWDEGATE deprecated the bill, and considered that it would endanger the Church of England, which for centuries had been the great bulwark of Christianity. Mr. GOSCHEN thought that a full discussion of the question would have assisted that strong and iniuential party which existed in both Universities, and which was desirous of reform. He could not think it could be said that the right hon. gentleman was disturbing the re pose of the university by his bill, for that repose had been disturbed, and it was not by resisting measures like this that repose could be artificially maintained. He would not support such a bill if he thought it would interfere with the Church, but he considered that the Church of England was in more danger from those who fainted at every attack than from those who boldly laced danger. He thought the Church would be greatly strengthened if she could fight with a freer hand. After some remarks from Mr. Blouson, Mr. R. Mills, Mr. Henley, and Mr. Dunlop, the order was discharged, and the bill was withdrawn. MISAPPROPRIATION OF SERVANTS BILL. Mr. BTANI LAND moved the second reading of this bill. He explained that the taking of corn by servants to feed their master's horses was a felony. The punishment was so disproportionate to the offence that he proposed in his bill to reduce the crime from felony to one cognisable by the magistrates. He proposed that the penalty for such au offence should be imprisonment of not more than three months, or a penalty not exceeding Sir G. GREY said the bill would require some altera tion in committee. The bill was then read a second time. ADMIRALTY BOARD. Sir IL WILLOUGHBY resumed the adjourned debate on the question proposed (June 9)—" That a select com mittee be appointed to inquire into the constitution of the Board of Admiralty, and into the different departments under the control of that Board." He expressed his opinion that at the present period of the session it would be useless to appoint a select committee on so large a subject as M' tniratty reform. His own opinion was, that if the Admiralty itself would take up the matter, and make those changes t which were necessary in the epartment, no co would t h be necessary. m e e t s r s a a l r t y y t f The r s great pe point ete t p o a b r e l a m gained exnt committee to o th n e a re ce m ou i n gh t t oi b t e he so n m av e y e . fficient control over t e e penditure tha S t ir ait the motion ar rive at any useful result.

He did not, he said, wish to rest the defence of the Admiralty on broad generalities, but he pointed out that a great deal had been done to early out the recommendations of the select com mittee and to comply with the requirements of the house. The finance and building departments had been placed on an improved and satisfactory footing, and other reforms were in progress. The nature of the latter the hon. gentle man explained in detail. Sir J. PAKINtsTON thought the real question at issue was not what individual reforms had been introduced into separate department but whether the present constitution of the Board of Admiralty was satisfactory and such as the house could approve of. With regard to the motion under discussion, it would be delusive at the present period of the session to vote for an inquiry which could not be conducted with any public advantage. and Sir F. BAKING said an inq uir y ha d taken place, he recommended the withdrawal of the motion. It migh be revived next session. Sir S. M. PETO also urged postponement. After a few words from Mr. HENLEY, Mr. DALGLISH withdrew the motion, giving notico that he would revive it next session. LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Mr. COX moved the second reading of this bill. Lord ENFIELD moved an amendment that the bill be read a second time this day three months. After some remarks from Mr. Doulton, Sir S. M.

A BASE SUBTERFUGE OF THE ENEMY —ABOUT THE BALLOT. ---A correspondent of the Examiner signing himself " A Member of the Reform Club," writes : ___.,l6 e n Lord Palmerston, with that adroitness which marks him so great a master of the art of debate, seized upon toe point, I can hardly say fact, that the Reform Club had abolished the vote by ballot, of course he was glad to catch up any stone to throw at the strong array of argu ments which had demolished his usual line of battle. But what are the facts? The Reform Club took umbrage at the tyranny of the minority, and stopped the practice of one black ball out-voting nine. They now have placed the elections in the hands of a select committee. That is the simple fact, nor did objection to the Ballot-box as a mode lection guide the decision of the Club." ,~ , .q,;
