COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE VfAEGII. His Honour, to-day, gave judgment on the petition of this bankrupt, Colonel Waugh, to be allowed to surrender under his bankruptcy. Mr. Linklater said the assignees had taken the opinion of the ereditors on the question whether they would consent to the bankrupt being allowed to surrender without bring ing into court the £590 ho admitted that he had taken with him when he left England. Creditors to a very large amount had concurred, and he (Mr. Linkiater) was in structed by the assignees to say that they consented to the bankrupt being allowed to surrender unconditionally. An individual creditor (a Mr. Prior), who was a creditor for £4,000 opposed on the ground that the very day before the bankrupt left England he borrowed £859. Mr. Sargood objected to any specific charges being gone into in the absence of Col. Waugh, and he (Mr. Sargood) was not instructed to enter into the case on its merits. Mr. Lewis said he appeared for Mr. Prior, and was pro ceeding to state the circumstances under which the bank rupt borrowed the £BOO. Mr. Sargood objected to Mr. Lewis being heard, and complained of the hardship on the bankrupt. His Honour—The hardship is on the creditors, but I cannot hear Mr Lewis, as the case stood over solely for the assignees to cowider whether the bankrupt should be allowed to surrender—but the creditors would have an opportunity of stating their grievances when the bankrupt came up to apply to pass his last examination. Mr. Linklater repeated that they did not oppose the bankrupt's unconditional surrender on the faith that the bankrupt would give the fullest examination in his power as to his transactions, and at meetings of the town creditors and country creditors it was decided that it was unadvis. able to prosecute the bankrupt at the expense of the estate. Any creditor might indict him at the public cost. There was a very large amount in 'he public treasury, but he was not aware how far it was available for that purpose. His Honour referred to the previous Act of Parliament by which the non-surrender of a bankrupt was declared to be a felony, and the bankrupt subject to transportation for life. That clause, however, had been repealed by the pre sent Act except under circumstances, and he himself con sidered it very doubtful whether the bankrupt was amen able under the words of the present Act. He thought, therefore, that the interests of public justice would not be advanced by a prosecution, for there appeared to be a feel ing on the part of judges and juries to take advantage of any technicality, and therefore bankrupts—however gross the commercial fraud—escaped. He did not know anything of the bankrupt's conduct. He had heard statements, but there was no evidence before him. The creditors would have an opportunity of opposing the bankrupt's discharge. He should, therefore allow the bankrupt to surrender, but as the bankrupt would, if the decision had been adverse to him, had the opportunity of appealing, he would give the creditors the same, and withhold drawing up the order for twenty-one days. Mr. Linklater suggested that the order should be made, but protection withheld, as there would be nothing to ap peal against. This course was adopted. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN 6 ' ARTIST'S" TROUBLES,-A FORGIVING HUSBAND —Mrs. Galina, wife of Mr. Sydney Collins, of 31, Little Pulteney-street, St. James', well known especially in sport ing circles for his ability as an " artist in colouring black eyes," was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt on a warrant charged with violently assaulting her husband. It appears that at times the defendant leads her husband, who appears to be a good-humoured man, a very unpleasant life owing to her violent conduct, and it has compelled him to seek the protection of the court. On the present occasion Mr. Collins said he did not wish to press the charge, and asked that his wife might be dis charged. Mr. Tyrwhitt ordered the defendant to enter into her own bail to keep the peace towards her husband. THE USE SERVANTS MAKE OF THEIR MASTERS' NAMES. _ —Two young prostitutes, named Julia Warren and Ann James, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with disorderly conduct, and John Ford, in the service of Lord Clarence Paget, was charged with attempting to rescue them from the custody of the police. Police .constables Austin and Cane proved the case against the females, and said that while crossing the Haymarket with the female' , Ford came up and interposed and pushed against him, and on his telling him to desist he said that he was Lord Clarence Paget of the Admiralty, a member of Parliament; and, seizing him by the collar, said he would take him (Austin) to Scotland-yard. Mr. Tyrwhitt—You are sure he did not ray he would take you to the Admiralty. (Laughter.) I suppose he is a gentleman's servant. Ford—l am in the service of Lord Clarence Paget. The constable (Austin) threw me on my back. Austin—That was done in strug4ling with you. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Ford will have to pay 108 ; and the girls, who have not been here before, I shall discharge. THAMES. THE SWELL MOE ON THE NORTH LONDON RAILWAY. —Robert Fitzgibbon, a well-known member of the swell mob, aged 29, v ho described himself as a plasterer, residing at an eating-house in Shored itch, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing a purse and money from the person of Susanna Bonett, a young lady dwelling at No. 21, Susanna-street, Poplar. The prosecutris said she was a passenger on the North London Railway from the Islington station to the Stepney station yesterday afternoon. Her mother accompanied her. At Hackney Wick, one of the stations on the line, eight or nine gentlemen got into the same carriage. The prisoner was among them, and he seated himself on her right hand side. She was seated next to the window. All the gentle men who got in at Hackney Wick commenced playing at cards and betting. The prisoner said he would show the other gentlemen a trick with the cards they had never seen before; and, addressing her and her mother, said, " You may all bet if you please." He then had his coat tail over her dress, on her right hand side, where her dress pocket was. Her purse and about lls, 6d. in silver were in that pocket. While the prisoner was betting and looking sted fastly at the card playing, she felt his hand in her pocket. She jumped up quickly, he drew his hand out, and she saw her purse hanging to her pocket, and three parts out. There was a key in the purse when she put it in her pocket. It was gone. She had since recovered it. The key was picked up in the carriage. She said to the prisoner, " You have picked my pocket, sir." He took not the least notice of what she said, but appeared to be deeply concerned with the card playing, and said to the gentleman opposite, I'll bet ycu a dollar." She said, " Never mind, I shall know you again, you shall not escape me." On the arrival of the train at Stepney, and before it had completely stopped, the prisoner jumped out of the carriage and " flew" right away. She followed as closely as possible, and called out " that man has robbed me." The guard of the train came to her assistance, and the prisoner jumped into another car riage. She pointed him out to the guard, who ordered him out of the carriage. The prisoner would not leave, and he was dragged out. The guard detained the prisoner till & a police constable arrived. Stedman Nicholls, 33 K, said the prisoner was given into his custody, and wanted to beg the lady's pardon, and com promise. Ho found on the prisoner a railway ticket, pen knife, and 4d, in money.

Antoniette Fricci was born in Vienna, in the year 1839, and is therefore now in her twenty-fourth year. When she was only fourteen, a writer in Ihe Queen informs us, she fre quented the Conservatory of Music, in order to acquire the first knowledge of that art; and afterwards becoming ac quainted with Mme, Marchesi, she began to study singing under the direction of that renowned songstress. The rapid progress she made, and the talent she evinced, clearly showed that some day she would take a high position in her art. Sho made her debut at Pisa in 1857. Although a little town compared to those to which she was afterwards ca)led ; our readers must know that the Pisan public, com posed principally of students, is N ery hard to please. The brilliant success she met with there made her name known throughout Italy ; and after having charmed by her clever performances Livorno and Florence, she was en gaged to sing at Turin and at the San Carlo, Naples. She passed from one triumph to another, each public acknowledging her talent, and the more than extraordinary feeling (what the Italians call sentimento) that she put into her acting. Aferh theav ingfung. at was engaged for the ImperialTheatreßologna of a A n i d ost s w b , o w n, she he where she has been re-engaged (rieontermata) for the third sea.. son. She was received there with the greatest enthusiasm, every dwhenever Mlle. hadh Friccite honour sang,th f singing the house a sc t r a owdedin part. She concert before the Empress of Russia, and received some splenC.id presents, consisting of a diadem of brilliants, brooches, and necklaces, the Emperor and Empress expressing personally to her their high satisfaction. She is now at Covent garden for the second season. When she made her first appearance in London, almost every journal was of opinion that she bore a strong resemblance to Madame Grisi, in voice and acting, as well as in personal appearance, 'Un boubtedly Mlle. Fricci possesses rare talent, sufficient to make her a worthy substitute for that great prima donna. GOOD EYESIGIiT.—The lion and the horse dis puted one day as to whose eyesight was best.

A meeting of persons friendly to the success o f the Northern arms in the war now raging in America was held qt half-past 7 last evening, at the London Tavern; Mr. Bright in the chair. The large room was crowded to inconvenience, and many who arrived about the time appointed for the opening of the proceedings were unable to obtain admittance. Mr. BRIGHT, after a few introluctory observa tions, said—lf we look back somewhat over two years and a half, when the question of secession was first raised in a political shape, when the news first arrived in England there was but one opinion about it. Every man admitted the folly and madness of the S )uth, and protested against the belief that there was any grievance which would justify them in revolting. (Hear, hear.) Every man hoped that some means might he discovered by which the terrible calamity of war might be avoided. While the reins of power were slipping from the feeble hands of Mr. Buchanan into the hands of Mr. Lincoln there was a moment when men thought they were about to see a great question settled, per haps by some moderation on the one side and some concession on the other. As long as everybody be Hewed there would be no war everybody condemned it ; but it was a gross absurdity for any man, with the history of the world before him to believe that the people of the Northern States, 20,000,000 strong, would sit down quietly while the dismem berment of their country was going on, and make no answer to the war which had been commenced by the South. (Applause.) He did not speak in justification of war; he was only treating this question upon the principles which were acknow ledged almost universally throughout the world, and by an overwhelming majority of those who accepted the Christian religion. (Hear, hear.) Those principles were acknowledged as much in this country as anywhere else, and it was only just we should judge the Uei•ed States by principles upon which we ourselves should be likely to act. But the North did not like to see the dismember ment of their country—(hear, hear)—they did not like to see a conspiracy of Southern politicians and slaveowners to seize their forts and arsenals with out preparing resistance. (Hear, hear.) And then, when the people of England found that the North was about to resist, and that war was inevitable, they turned away their eyes from the South, which was the aggressor, and looked to the North, saying if the North would not resist there would be no war, we should get our cotton, and trade would go on as heretofore. Those, therefore, who had condemned the South at first were inconsistent now in their con demnation of the North. (Hear, hear.) He would now transport them in mind to Lancashire. The interests of Lancashire were the interests of the whole United Kingdom, and clearly of not a few of the inhabitants of the metropolis. (Hear.) What was the condition of our gre, test manufacturing industry before, secession had been practically attempted ? Almost 90 per cent. of our cotton came from the Southern States, and nire-tenths of it was the produce of the uncompensated labour of the negro. (Hear, hear.) Everybody knew we were carrying on a prodigious industry upon a more in secure foundation, and it was the commonest thing in the world for men, whether in or out of Parlia ment, who were discussing the future of the cotton trade, to point to the existence of slavery in the United States as the dangerous thing in connection with that great trade. (Hear, hear.) That was one of the reasons which on several occasions stimulated him to urge the Ministers of this country to im prove the Government of India, and thus give us a chance of receiving a considerable portion of our supply from that country, so that we might not be left in absolute want when the calamity occurred, which all thoughtful men knew must some day come upon the United States. (Applauee.) Our supply of cotton being raised by slave labour, two things were indisputable—first, the supply must be insuf ficient ; and, secondly, it must be insecure. (Hear, hear.) Perhaps many were not aware that in the slave States the extent of land employed in the cul tivation of cotton was a mere plot in comparison with the whole cotton region. He spoke upon the authority of a report lately presented to the Boston Chamber of Commerce when he stated that the whole breadth of land on which cotton was grown in America did not exceed 10,000 square miles— about the size of two of our largest counties; while the laud of the ten chief cotton-producing States was sixty times as large, being about twelve times the s'ze of England and Wales. Therefore, it was not because there was not land enough that we teed not cotton enough in former years ; ,it was not because there had not been a demand, for thedemand the supply; it was not thatwas c t o h n e s p t arni price youtstripping h a d not been sufficient, because the price had been much higher of late years, and the profit to the planter had been much greater. And yet there had not been a sufficient supply of cotton for the wants of the manufacturers and spinners of of the world, or for the needs of civilisation. (Hear, hear.) It the price of cotton in Liverpool during the five years between 1856.60 were compared with its price in the five years between 1841-45 it would be found that every pound of cotton fetched an increased price of more than 20 per cent. Not withstanding that we were every year in greater difficulties with regard to our supply. And what was the reason ? It was this--there was not labour enough in the Southern States. We saw every day in the newspapers that there were 4,000,000 slaves in the Southern States. But some of these were growing rice, some sugar, some tobacco, some were employed in domestic duties, some in business in towns, and there was only about one-fourth of the whole number regularly engaged in the cultivation of cotton. The increase in the production of cotton must depend upon the increasing productiveness of the labour of this one million of slaves, and on the natural increase of the population from them. But the natural increase of the slaves was rather less thar.2l per cent., and the increase, therefore, from the million of slaves would be only about 25,000 in the year. The increase in the production of cotton from that source, therefore, would not probably esceed, even if it reached, 150,000 bales per annum. There could be no remedy for that state of things under slavery, because there was n© large immi gration into the Southern States. Labour was not honourable nor honoured in the South, and there fore free labourers in the North were not likely to go there. (Hear, hear.) Of all the vast emigra tion from this country between 1846 and 1860, amounting to two and a half millions of people, a mere trifle want South. V hence, then, could the planters of the South receive an increase of labour ? Only from the slave ship and the coast of Africa. (Applause.) But, fortunately for the world, the United States had never yet become so bowed un der the heel of the slaveowner as to consent to re open the slave trade. (Applause.) Therefore the Southern planters were in this unfortunate condi tion—they could not tempt, perhaps they did not want, free labourers, and they could not get slave labour from Africa. But was it not possible that our vast cotton industry, which had been standing on a menacing volcano, might be placed upon. a rock which nothing could disturb ? Imagine the ar over, the Union restored, and slavery abolished. (Loud applause.) Did any man suppose that there would be iu the South one negro fewer? On the contrary, there would be more. Many negroes now in the North and in Canada, if the lash and the South. There would ) would turn their b fa r c a e n s d t i o ng th i e ro g n en w ia e l r s e i , in ab o o f l t i h sh e e s d also be a great immigration of free labour from the Nortb, and the whole of the South would be open to the enterprise and industry o f all. With slavery abolished and freedom firmly established in the South we should find a rapid increase in the growth of cotton, and not only would its growth man e wished the n cured. be rapid, but, its permanent increase would be se of (Applause) ) e t l h n a n s htohre r e vas no greater t,h who co tton industry to be continued under slave labour. (Hear.) He would now turn from commerce to epolitics. Our newspapers, statesmen, writers, and speakers of every class were constantly telling us of the wonderful influence which English constitu tional Government and English freedom had over the position and career of other nations in Europe. If we exerted that influence, and we prided our selves upon it, it would be no h um ili at i o n to ad mit that we Ourselves felt time of the influette,e exerted upon us by the great American Repub. (Applause.) American freedom acted upon Europe, and there was nothing better known at the west end of this great city. (Laughter and applause.) He had left the House of Com mons about 7 o'clock, just as they were proceeding to a discussion on the ballot. There was not in general much discussion, because the whole question was conceded. (Cheers.) There was no practical argument against the ballot; but if there was it was one which its opponents dared not use. But if this argument were used—that in the United States at the recent elections in several States by means or the ballot returns were made which were hostile to the existing Government, and the popular will WES freely expressed even in the face of a Government with 600,000 or 800,000 men in the fie :d—the oppo nents of the ballot would wish somehow or other that the United States were ever so far eff', because it might, unhappily, come to pass that the peop'e of Et,gland might think that that which saw people in America from the power of individual oppression or Government dictation might have precisely the same beeeficial effect in England. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The people of England had an interest i❑ everything which happened in America, and when he spoke of the people of England he did not mean the wearers of coronets and crowns, but the 20,000,000 of the people who lived upon their labour, and who having no votes were not counted in our political census, but with out whom there could be no British nation at all. (Loud applause.) These had an interest, as great and almost as direct an interest as though they were living in Massachusetts or New York, in the tre mendous struggle for freedom woich was now shaking a whole continent. (Applause.) During the last two years there nad been much said, much written, and something done in this country to gain us the hate of both sections of the American nation, the North and the South. (Hear, hear.) He be lieved a course of policy might have been taken by the English press and Government, and by the in fluential portion of the American people, that would have bound us to the hearts of the 20,000,000 of the North, that would have obliterated all remembrance of the war of the Revo lution and of the war of 1812, and we should in heart and spirit have been for all time virtually one nation. (Applause.) He could only hope as time passed and our people ly came better informed they would become more just, that ill feeling of every kind would past away, and that in future all who loved freedom here would hold friendly con versation with all who loved freedom there, and that the two nations, separated as they were by the ocean, but come as they were from one stock, might in the future be united in soul, making together every possible effort for the advancement of the the liberties and happiness of mankind. (Loud applause.) Mr. BRIGHT then introduced to the meeting Mr. Conway, a gentleman from Eastern Virginia, who gave an account of his experiences both in the South and North. Other speeches were made and resolutions passed, and the meeting separated. STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, June 16.—The yarn market today has been decidedly more cheerful, and there has been a good inquiry, more particularly for the markets of the Levant, of Italy, and for the home trade. On the whole only a limited business has been transacted. Prices are very firm. There has been no business of any moment doing for India, and there is no change in this branch of the market either as to prices or demand, since Friday. The buyers for Germany are particularly quiet. In the cloth market there is also a better feeling than there was last week, but there ie no change to quote id Prices.' Buyers still keep aloof, and 'ma nufacturers do not manifest much anxiety to sell. The sort of panic feeling which seized the market last week seems to have passed away. Many of our spinners and manufacturers are now well engaged to order; but the check to business which has recently taken place is preventing others who hed felt disposed from resuming work, and the number of mills altogether closed is still large. The singular fact still remains that while so many mills are idle, and while hundreds of thousands of operatives are unemployed, little at tention has yet been directed to practical efforts to permanently increase the supply of cotton. Nearly two millions sterling has been raised by subscrip tion and other means to relieve the destitution of the unemployed, and yet through the cotton companies and other agencies for growing cotton (the only perfect remedy for the distress) compara tively little has been done. The total paid-up capital which has been embarked in these schemes, profitable as they promise to be, does not reach £200,000, and yet the House of Commons, was told in 1861. on good authority, that the average profit on works of irrigation alone in India (so necessary in undertakings connected with cotton-growing) is 691 per cent. LEEDS, June 15 —The woollen cloth markets to day have been much the same as those of last Tues day ; but, withal, a little more business has been done. The parcels generally mage up were of a miscellaneous character, and they included a fair portion of ordinary broadcloths and heavy fabrics for the colder season of the year. Rather more business was done in medium white goods. The purchases of fabrics for autumn and winter are cautiously made, and, indeed, except in the way of orders for future delivery, no great amount of busi ness is doing in goods for those seasons. The reports from Dewsbury, Batley; Batley Carr, and other places celebrated for heavy goods, show that the manufacturers are busy, but that the sales, for the season of the year are not brisk. Still there is nothing of an absolute depressive nature in either the condition or the prospects of the woollen trade. Prices of both wools and goods keep firm. ROCHDALE, June 15.—The flannel trade keeps active, and prices are very firm. There was a good attendance of buyers to-day, and more than a late average of business was done. There is an increase in the demand for exportation as well as in the tame trade. The Yorkshire goods trade is also ►ittle more active, and late prices are fully main tained. The wool trade shows a fair amount of animation, though manufacturers are not eager purchasers at the highest prices demanded. The new clip is well spoken of, and the growers are stiff in their prices. NOTTINGHAM, June 16.—There was a better at tendance on 'Change to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was more animated than on Friday, business being done at fully late prices. The de mand for hosiery yarns was somewhat quiet, and prices remained the same as heretofore. Sisk firm. A moderate demand took place for brown nets, and Tices were the turn in favour of the seller. The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is about 1 per mine pm., and the short exchange on London is 25 . 22} p er £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of 23 I 7s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 1-10th per cent. dealer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 425 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.5} per £1 sterling. ,tandard gold at the English Mirt price is, therefore, rather more than 1-10th per cent. dearer in London than in Ham burg NIGHTINGALE PlE.—Uretry, the musician, says a ele7er writer in the Saturday Review, was a con stant friald of Isabey, the painter, till the connection was rudely dissolved by that most dangerous of all pastimes, a practical joke. He was passionately fond of nightingales. He used to vow th.lt they were the best of models, the best of music masters, and that he was largely and eternally in debted to them. His Love of music did not interfere with his taste in cookery; and although he ate little, he was .th a gourmand of the first water.

The match bets; eon George Drewitt and Teasdale Wil son came off this afternoon, the distance being the usual one, viz., from Putney to Mortlake. As far as position et starting was concerned, fortune favoured Wilson, for, as winner of the toss, he chose the Middle sex side of the river, and the usual preliminaries having been arranged, the start was effected at abcut a quarter to four. Wilson after the first few strokes seemed to have a decided advantage, but as soon as Drewitt settled down to his work he quickly diminished the trifling lead Wilson had obtained. Before the men passed Finche's Drewitt had altogether altered the state of affairs, for here he had obtained a clear lead, The race was virtually over at this point, for Drewitt had it all to himself, and he rowed in a winner easily ; in fact, he won the match just as he pleased. Odds at starting, 7 to 4 on the loser. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. YETI TIONS. By Sir J.

SECOND READINGS. —Morayshire Railway ; North Lon don Railway Extension. THIRD READING.—Petetb rough, Wisbeach, and Sutton Railway. ENDOWED SCHOOLS BILL. Mr. DILLWYN, in moving the second reading of this bill, said he regretted that a large number of petitions had been presented against his measure. He considered, how ever, they were based on a miaapprehens'on of the measure, and doubtless much of the abuse that had been heaped upon him personally was attributable to the same cause. When he placed his bill on the paper for to-day it did not occur to him that the Oxford commemoration would then be under celebration,and that a number of hen. members, especially the two members for the University, would desire to be at Oxford to meet the Prince and Princess of Wales. Though at the time he declined to postpone his bill, he begged now to move that the order for the second reading be discharged, as he saw no probability of pressing the bill to its ultimate stages this session. He st istled to have the measure fully and calmly discussed, and would be ready in the future to introduce all reasonable amendments. He denied that his measure could be construed into an attack on the national Church. He was actuated by any earnest desire to remove all civil disabilities on account of religious opinions. Next session he should re-introduce the bill. Mr. SELWYN, in seconding the motion, denied on his part and those who acted with him in that house that any attacks had been made on the hon. member for Swansea (Mr. Dillwyn.) They had discussed the subject temperately and courteously. The attacks he alluded to must have been made out of doors. Mr. DILLWYN admitted that this was so. Mr. SELWYN trusted this was the last occasion on which they would be asked to enter upon the discussion of a measure of this kind, which had now been five years before the house, and that instead of entering upon unprofitable discussions the hon. member would devote his experience and time to rectify the wants of the population in regard to the education and its spiritual need. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LO WE hoped they had heard the last of the bill. By it if a Dissenter founded a school for Dissenters it would be so used, but if the King of England established a school for the education of those attached to the Church of England his gift would be void. (Hear, hear.) He need state no further, because this was a fatal objection to the bill. These discussions created ill feeling between Dis senters and member of the Church of England. Lord IJ ENLEY hoped the hon. member would proceed with his bill next year, because, at present, Government injustice was inflicted upon conscientious Dissenters in con nection with their Endowed Schools, Mr. FORSTER considered that the bill would simply uphold that spirit of civil and religious liberty, which for many years had been the bent of the legislation. He blamed the Government for their conduct on the bill. Mr. HADFIELD approved of the bill, because it would remove a piece of spiritual intolerance of the most objec tionable nature. The order for the second reading was then discharged. NAVY PRIZE MONEY. _ Sir J. HAY moved the second reading of this bill. Lord C. PAGET said the Government had a Consolida tion Bill in preparation which would be introduced early next session. After a short discussion, in which Mr, Hardy, Mr. Col- liar, and Mr. Selwyn took part, Mr. STANSFELD said be trusted the hon. Bart. would withdraw his bill after the pledge of his noble friend that a consolidation bill of the most complete and compre hensive nature would be introduced very early next session. Ultimately the bill was read a second time. ELECTION PETITIONS BILL. Mr. HUNT moved that the Speaker leave the chair. Sir F. GOLDSNIID hoped the bill mould not be pro ceeded with, as it would tend to encourage bribery and corruption by discouraging bona fide petitioners. Mr. ADDERLEY considered that the bill ought to be proceeded with. Mr. K. HUGGESON supported the measure, citing his election experiences in support of immediate legislation on the subject. A committee should examine petitions as soon as presented, and decide like a grand jury whether or no they should remit it for further investigation. Mr. AYRTON hoped the Government would take up the matter, and bring in a bill on this subject. With ts vie a , he would move that the bill be referred to a select committee. Sir F. GOLDSIVIID seconded the motion. The house divided, when there appeared— For the motion 92 Against Majority —l The motion was therefore carried. MARRIAGES REGISTRATION (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Sir E. GROGAN proposed an amendment to the effect that notices of marriage should be accompanied by a solemn declaration of one of the parties. On a division the numbers were — For the amendment Against it lO5 Majority 74 Sir E. GROGAN, however, withdrew his other amend ment on the paper, and the bill passed through committee The house resumed. SUPPLY. Report brought up. OFFENCES (SOUTH AFRICAN) BILL. This bill was read a third time. CIVIL BILLS COURT (IRELAND) BILL. Mr. O'HAGAN moved the second reading of this bill, and explained at length its provisions. A high bailiff would be appointed in each county by the chairman, with a substantial salary of from £250 to £3OO a year, and required to give ample sureties for the due performance of his officte. This officer would have the appointment of the under bailiffs, and would be responsible for their acts. The bill would clearly &fine the fees to be charged. In most respects the mode of proceeding adopted would be assimilated with that of Et,gland. The bill would take away the fees now allowed to creditors in seizing growing crops, which at this time resulted in great evil. The Government woul d be quite ready to adopt all reasonable amendments. Mr. GEORGE opposed the bill, con sidering it in oppo sition to the desires of the people of Ireland or the legal profession. Atter considerable discussion the bill was read a second time. selMecricLomOlNniGttFeel.ELD mov ed that the bill be referred to a On a division the numbers w e .......... 36 For the motion. .............

THE OUTRAGE UPON YOUNG FEMALES.—Since Arthur Robert Willoughby Wade's apprehension a great many reports have become current with regard to his past career, which are far from flattering ; and there seems to be very little doubt that for some years he has been leading a loose discreditable life. When first he ar rived in Dorking, now several years since, he was the very picture of " hard. upishness," and no one had any thing to say to him until Mr. Evelyn took him by the hand. Then he started upon a new existence, and being appointed adjutant of the 33 Administrative Battalion of Surrey Rifles, he became all at once a man of some import ance, and obtained introductions into society of such a class that he succeeded in engaging the affections of Miss Cole, a lady of good connections, whom he married. By this lady he has had three children, one of whom has died since this sad affair was brought to light, and was buried on Satur day last, at Docking. As a married man his conduct has been so bad that his wife has left him on several occa sions, and she had only returned to him the last time, about six months ago, when he was arrested on these dis gusting charges. During the period of his wife's absence, Wade lived in open adultery with his c,ok, whom he re• presented to his wife as a married woman, and this cook was actually confined of a child at his house at Cotman dene. Wade's income as adjutant was probably about £3OO a year, and there was a likelihood of that being increased by about another hundred under the new regulations. He was making preparations, therefore, for improving his style of living, and increasing his estab lishment to an extent commensurate with his augmented income. The small furnished house at Cotmandene, hired at £4O a year, was about to be abandoned, and a much larger house, with beautiful grounds, lately occupied by Miss Sumner, had been taken in South-street, at a rental of £6O a year, unfurnished. A great many men had been engaged for some weeks in painting and decorating, and at the time when Wade's arrest put an end to all these pro jects, a man had been hired as coachmen, and everything seemed to indicate that a person with comfortable means and a respectable establishment was about to take up his abode at the house in South-street. It now transpires that Wade had never paid the men engaged on the decorations a single penny; the coachman has been left by himself in a cottage adjoining the residence, and he does not know where to look for his wages; the horse which Wade rode was lent by Mr. Evelyn; and it is said that he owes debts in Dorking to the amount of several hundred pounds, which have been contracted within the last twelve months. Wade having been arrested on Friday, his wile, for whom the deepest commiseration is expressed, left Dorking on the following Monday, and returned to her relatives at Wimbledon. The child, wnose death is referred to above, was taken from Wimbledon to Dorking on Saturday last to ut charges a t r h g e e s a re concurrentperhaps testi mony b e interred. S ince his appzehension cases are almost d a il y broug ht to the noti ce of the p olice in which Wade is said , ull stj. j ta ua be tiy c° laidnce concerned account ne his aMccaonuyof these ; b Lam y of many witnesses is to be credited, morality is not on e of the virtues which adorn the char acter Willoughby Wade.— West Surrey Time s, of Arthur TALLEYRAND AND MADAME DE STAEL ... P RATTLING —According to Mr. Dendy' s a ccount of them in his newly published " Legends of the Lintel and the Ley. o _. ' Toujours gaffe, touj eurs la belle,' whispered Talleyrand, drawing his chin within his magnifi cent cravat, ' and how porte themselves the L k 'oc s. ' lres hen, and greet you, Monsieur d'Autun or Augustodonum , for cutting the revolu—.' Talleyrand frowned away the other syllables. `Bab, bah I you are thinking even now more of a mitre nest a princed om th an l a libertd cc pas, nest ce pas, Monsieur ?' ' Thoughts may not be spoken, Madame, speech was given to conceal them." Par exampla (sic), when you glorified Fanny's Evelina, and made me, your poor Corinne, so jealous.' I may love Evelina, Madame, yet worship Corinne ; I may kneel to Juno. yet smile oh Venus.' Then give me the smile ; love is dearer far to woman's heart than worship.' ' Then, Madame, wear your robe long to hide your bas bleu.' CHURCH PLATE. --A curious and interesting dis, covert' of ancieot church ornaments, according to the Atheneum, has been recently made at D=ai. Accord.. ing to the French papers, the students of the formerly celebrated college at that town secretly buried two coffers full of valuable church plate at the time of the great French Revolution. The secret, which was carefully kept for many years, has recently been divulged. A corps of engineers, w h o now o ccupy the buildings formerly u sed b y the colle g e, searched for the hidden treasures, and they have already succeeded in disinterring various silver vases bearing the na mes of Fresidents of the College, and that of Philip Howard of Norfolk, with the (late 1744. The search is being prosecuted for other articles supposed to have been also buried.
