The discount market remains in a steady position, and any material change is scarcely looked for until the payment of the July dividends. The last week's railway receipts ascertained up to this day are in round figures as under :- 1863. 1862. Great Western £63,518 £66,255 N orth-Westem South- Western Brighton Alidland S outh -Eastern 21,443 23,128 Great Eastern Lancashire and Yorkshire 35,210 33,402 North Eastern 43,038 40,537 Bristol and Exeter Manchester Sheffield, and Lincoln 14, 653 13 , 2 52 Edinburgh and Glasgow Glasgow b and South-Western Great Luxembourg 4,720 4,611 These returns again show a falling off in several of the principal lines. On the Great Western there is a decrease of £2,737, on the South Western of £3,968, on the Brighton of £1,468, on the South-Eastern of £1,685, and on the Bristol and Exeter of £433. The North-Western, however, exhibits an increase of £606, the Midland of £4,697, the Lancashire and Yorkshire of £l,BOB, the North-Eastern of £2,501, and the Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln of £1,414. One of the latest undertakings introduced to the notice of the investing classes is the Torquay Hotel Company, with a proposed capital of £70,000, in share s of £lO each, of which, however, it is pro bable that not more than two thirds will be re quired for the immediate objects in view. It is brought forward under favourable auspices, and as the locality is one of great attraction, and additional accommodation is requisite, there is every reason to believe that the expectations of the promoters will be fully realised. The prospectus refers to the larg e increase of visitors, both in winter and sum rUer, and the especial advantages which such an establishment would at once secure. A very eligible site, upon which the residence of Colonel Meyrick now stands, has been obtained, commanding sea views, and provisional arraneements have been made with the proprietor of the Royal Hotel, whereby the company will be placed in immediate Possession of a valuable connection and lucrative business on favourable terms. Another parcel of gold, amounting to £54,000, was taken into the Bank yester ay. The dollars by the last Mexican packet have been sold at ss. 21,d. per oz., showing a fall of sd. from the price obtained for the former supply. BRITISH POSSESSION. Two o'CLocK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were heavy at 68f. 50c. At a meeting to-day of the Canada Company, the directors proposed a division of per share, free of income tax, payable on the 10th July. Mr. tiddalph occupied the chair, and on introducing to the notice of the meeting the report issued by the directors, stated that large arrears were due to the company for rent, and that proceedings were being taken by the commissioners in the colony to recover the claims. Advices had been received by the last mail, which stated that after the harvest the Prospects of which were very encouraging the agents anticipated the payment of the greater portion of the debt. No discoveries of oil springs had yet been made upon the company's lands, and should such discovery take place the company would be entitled to claim additional rental. The corn• Missioners were preparing and collating materials for the issue of a new pamphlet, which, as soon as ready, will be published. The directors had secured offices on the site lately occupied by the old East India Company at a rental which would effect a savi ng of £250 a year. A vote of thanks to the Chairman and directors concluded the proeeedings.

Their royal highnesses, who were accompanied by the Countess do Grey and Lieut.-Colonel Keppel, arrived shortly after eight o'clock, and were met on alighting from their carriage by the Earl of Derby, when the noble earl conducted their royal high nesses to the apartment in which the guests invited to meet them had assembled. The band of the Gre nadier Guards played the National Anthem on the arrival of the prince and princess. The party invited to meet the prince and princess comprised the Duke of Sutherland, the Duke of Manchester, the Duke of Hamilton, the Duke of St. Albans, the Marquis and Marchioness of Bath, the Marquis of Exeter, the Earl and Lady Constance Grosvenor, the Earl and Countess of Malmesbury, the Hon. Colonel and Lady Emma Talbot, and the Hon. F. Stanley. The tables and sideboards presented a handsome display of ornamental plate, principally the gold cups and racing prizes won by the present earl and his grandfather. In the centre of the dining table, conspicuously prominent, was the magnificent gold candelabrum presented to the 12th Earl of Derby, grandfather of the present peer, by the deputy • lieutenants of Lancashire on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of his lord-lieutenancy of the county. During the dinner the military band in an ad joining room performed a varied selection of music. Later in the evening the Countess of Derby had a dance, at which a very select circle, not exceeding 150 members of the aristocracy, were present. The company who had the honour to be invited to the evening party were shown to the drawing. room at the end of the suite of saloons. The north drawing-room, the most spacious apart ment in the suite, was arranged for dancing, Messrs. Coot() and Tinney's band being engaged. Their Royal Highnesses the Duchess of Cam bridge and Princess Mary, attended by Lady Augusta Cadogan and Captain P. Cust, came early. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge and his Royal Highness the Count de Paris were among her ladyship's visitors after dinner. Their Serene Highnesses Prince and Princess Edward of Saxe- W eimar were also among the company. The following is the programme of the dance music played on the occasion : 1. Quadrille 2. Valse 3.

Smith was called to give evidence as to the capa city of deceased to make a will, and was of opinion that he was quite capable of doing so when the instrument was executed. Mrs. Ledbel ter, the nurse who attended to the testator up to the time of his death, said that Mr. Mayer always ap peared to be quite collected. lie took food up to the hour of his death. She gave him milk and water, with bread crumbs in it. She had seen the servants give him a spoon ful of sherry in some water. The doctor who attended him always mixed the wine before he left him for the night. The night before his death Mr. Abingdon was with Mr. Mayer, who was then suffering great pain, and young Mr. Abingdon went to the druggist to get something from him to allay it. The pain was ♦ery uncertain in its attacks. Mr. Mayer did not appear near his death on the day he died. He was very ill, but death was not expected that day. About two months before his death he was very much concerned about a nest of throstles (thrushes) which he had in his garden. He regretted the loss very much, and Mr. Wedg wood brought two old ones, which were put in a cage and placed near the place the nest used to be. She did not notice more particularly that the day before his death a large number of letters were lying on his table unopened. Ann Faire said she lived in Mr. Mayer's service for 1.1 years before his death. She recollected the last witness coming to wait on him. She saw Mr. Mayer frequently before his death, and he always appeared quite right in his mind. The Grand Stand Stakes of 5 sous each, with 50 added from the Grand Stand, for 2-yr-olds and 3-yr-olds ; 2-yr-olds, Gst 121 b ; 3-yr-olds, Bst 121 b ; f and g allowed 31b ; the winner of the Tyro or the North Derby, or any other stake before starting value 200 sows to carry 41b extra. The winner to pay 5 guineas towards expenses. By Mr. Chambers—She gave him his food. Ho got worse and worse, and died on a Thursday. He was very bad a week before his death. She did not recollec► seeing old Mr. Abingdon there at that time. He never went into Mr. Mayer's bedroom without he was invited up, Mr. Abingdon called frequently, and appeared very anxious about Mr. Mayer a week before his death. Mr. .Astle called once and saw Mr. Mayer. On the Tuesday before his death, Mr. Mayer sent for Mr. Abingdon, junior, and he slept in the house until he (Mr. Mayer) died. She had never told any persons when they called that Mr. Mayer was not in a state to do business. He was able to s do writing business. She had seen him write before his death, but he was not propped up with pil lows. He was not able to attend to business a week before his death. She did not know that during that time he was attending to business, because she left the room. By the Judge--Weakness of body prevented him doing any business. He perfectly understood everything that passed, Wm, Chester, gardener to the testator, said he always went of a morning to his master's bedroom to receive orders, Up to the day before his death Mr. Mayer gave him direc tions the same as usual, and always appeared to understand everything he said. The case is not expected to conclude to-day. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) A CITY MERCHANT SUED BY A RAILWAY COMPANY FOR 2s. 10D,-SOUTII-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. The second to save his stake.

It appeared that defendant sent a parcel of boots to a customer in Maidstone named Marchmont, and Marchmont, after examining them, refused to accept them from the plaintiff, but returned them to defendant. The goods were taken to defendant's warehouse, and he, after the delivery, refused to pay more than is. 6d., the carriage from Maidstone. name. Mr. W.

Prologue,cut out the work to the three• quarter mile post, where Carbineer took up the running. At the half distance he was reached by Caller Ou, who won cleverly by a head, a head between the second and third, a bad fourth, Poly nesia was fifth.. From the result of the race, it will be seen that the decision of the judge and the prophecy of "A Fresh Man," in The Sun, very nearly agree ; as our correspondent actually named the first three horses in the race, a circumstance never known to have been done in a large handicap by any prophet before. An instance nearly similar occurred with a celebrated sporting nobleman (was it not Lord George Bentinek ?) who, for a very large bet, undertook to place every horse as they passed the post. When the race was over it was found that the noble lord had won, as the horse he named came in first, the rest of the field being distanced. The following appeared in The Sun of Monday, June 15:— " Although the Northumberland Plate stands for deci sion next week, no demonstration of any importance has yet been made in favour of any of the horses engaged, as much as 10 to 1 being still offered on the field. At present I can see nothing with more formidable pretensions to carry off this rich stake than the three top weights, namely, Carbineer, Caller Ou, and Adventurer, giving the prefer ence to the former, as I cannot forget his gallant struggle with Tim Whiffler in the Gold Vase at Ascot last year, where ' Tim' only beat Carbineer by a short head." Defendant pointed out to-day that the sum in dispute was but ls, 4d., but he did not see why he should be called upon to pay this, because it was not his debt. Mr. March mont had opened the package, or he could not have told whether the goods were equal to the sample. If Mr. Marchmont chose to open the package, it was clear he was liable to pay the carriage. A person who appeared for the company said that the consignee at Maidstone refused to receive the goods, and directed the company to take them back to defendant. The company's carrier told defendant that there was carriage to pay, and defendant said he would pay it. His Honour—The company have a lien upon the goods, and they are entitled to hold them until they are satisfied. You (defendant) have received the parcel with all its liabi• lities, and if you have any claim for the ls. 4d. it is rather against your customer at Maidstone than plaintiffs, who are entitled to a verdict, with costs. Verdict fur plaintiffs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. And again in his final notes on Tuesday last, after discarding the claims of Polynesia and Stanton, the two first favourites, he concluded his letter as follows : THAMES. If I place them in the following order I think I shall not bo far from the mark : CARBINEER CALLER 011 LOTHIAN'S KING PLATE ROBBERY BY AN AREA SNEAR.—Thomas Tyer, a well-known thief, was brought before Mr. Wool rych, charged with stealing four tablespoons, three dessert spoons, three forks, a pair of sugar-tongs, two saltspoons, and six teaspoons, all silver, and valued at about SIO, from the residence of Mr. Kiddill, a builder, of No. 11, Adding ton-road, Bow-road. On Monday last, between the hours of 11 and half-past one o'clock the kitchen of Mr. Kiddill's residence was entered in the temportry absence of the servant, and the plate above mentioned stolen from a •cupboard. The kitchen window had been incautiously left open, and the thief had no difficulty in obtaining an entrance. Suspicion fell upon the prisoner who is a well known "area sneak," and another man of the same character, and whose pursuits are similar. The prisoner and his confederate were seen near Mr. Kiddill's house before the robbery, and the prisoner was seen coming away from the direction of the Addington-road. He was taken into custody yesterday afternoon in a place called Gloucester-gardens, Bethnal green. Police Sergeant Pullen, No. 10 K, a detective officer, said the prisoner was a well known thief, and had been already convicted. Two witnesses identified the prisoners, and it was stated that if he was remanded other evidence would be forth coming. Inspector Kerressey, ano heard of the robbery a few minutes after it was committed, had sent police-constables in all directions in search of the thieves and the property, but their efforts were unsuccessful, and it is feared the plate has been melted down. _ The prisoner denied all participation in the robbery, and said he was not in or near the Addington-road on Monday last. Thus following up the great hit he also made on The Derby, when he placed three out of the first four, as well as naming the winner of The Oaks.

MING HETTI.—A Turin letter of June 21, in the Opinion Nationale, gives the following account of this duel, which was incorrectly reported to have been stopped by the inter ference of the King :—" M. Minghetti, notwithstanding the explanations made in the Chamber yesterday by M. Sella, having declared that he could not retract the words, It is false, most false,' which he uttered in reply to as sertions of M. Rattazzi, a meeting became inevitable. Yes terday evening at eight o'clock, M. Tecchio and General Malenchini, seconds chosen by M. Rattazzi, waited upon M. Minghetti's friends, Gen. Cialdiniand Prince Simonetta. The latter, having the choice of arms, decided that the duel should be fought with cavalry sabres. M. Rattazzi, who had never had a sabre in his hand in his life took two fencing lessons with that arm in the course of the day. M. Minghetti was nearly as unskilled as his adversary. At five o'clock this morning MM. Tecchio and Malenchini, Dr. Spirino, and M. Rattazzi went to Stupingi, the place chosen for the rencontre. They found MM. Cialdini, Simonetta, and Minghetti already on the ground. The two first passes produced no result. M. Rattazzi seemed to fight with desperation, while M. Minghetti appeared more anxious to defend himself than to attack. At the third assault M. Rattazzi was slightly wounded in the right arm, a little be low the shoulder. Notwithstanding this wound he continued to fight, but after the fourth assault Gen, Cialdini and the other seconds put an end to the contest. It does not appear that MM. Minghetti and Rattazzi were reconciled after their duel." The Milan Gazette btates that two remarkable frescos have just been discovered in the church of St, Satire in that city. One of them is the work of Borgognonce, and the other appears to have been painted by Guardi. The half-yearly award of commissions and dis tribution of prizes to the gentlemen cadets of the Royal Military Academy, by the Duke of Cambridge (in accordance with previous examination by the Council of Military Education), took place yester day afternoon in the Gymnasium at the rear of the institution, in the presence of a large number of military officers, professors, and masters of the academy, and relatives and friends of the students. The several classes of cadets assembled on the lawn fronting the building at half-past two o'clock, with i the Royal Artillery band, and carried out a series of manual and platoon exercises in a highly credi table manner. At half-past three a salute from a battery of artillery announced the arrival of his royal highness and his staff. The line of gentlemen cadets having been inspected front and rear, they marched past at slow and quick time, and subsequently carried out various evolutions. The cadets then marched in companies to the Gymnasium, and formed into square near the table which contained the numerous prizes for presentation. The pro ceedings commenced by Major General Hamilton reading the report of the Council of Military Edu cation, which stated that of 44 cadets of the first class, 42 had been found qualified for commissions in the Royal Artillery and Royal Engineers. 12 commissions in the Royal Engineers had been an nounced ; the 12 senior cadets en the list having elected for that service, the remainder were recom mended for commissions in the Royal Artillery. In the first class, the examiner in fortifications, field works, and bridges, considered the result very satisfactory, every one of the cadets having obtained a higher credit than half the total num ber in the minimum course, and the nature of the answers showed that the subjects had been carefully studied. The examiner in chemistry reported the results to be on the whole satisfactory. In the second class, the progress in German and other subjects of study had been satisfactory. In the third class, the progress had also been very satisfactory. In Hindostani, the grammatical questions had been fairly answered, and considerable progress had been made in draw- ing. Col. Yorke, R.E., then read a report from Major-Gen. Sandham, Lieutenant-Governor of the Acadmy, which stated that the whole of the first class, who had just been under examination, were fully qualified for commissions, as regards conduct, discipline, and proficiency in military exercises. The number of marks gained by each cadet for for tifications, mathematics, and other branches of study, as certified by the Council of Military Eitication. were then read over, and the following successful candidates were called to the front by his royal highness, and informed that they would receive commissions, as under (the numbers given being the marks gained by each) :- For the Royal Engineers-1.

In 1656 Louis XIV. was already in the 14th year of his reign. A letter from Bologna of the 20th states that on the previous day the tribunal of the arrondissement condemned a shoemaker named Brasini, gerant of the Journal the Eco, to 20 days' imprisonment and 200 fr. fine for a libellous attack on the steward of the property which the Emperor Napoleon possesses in the Marches. A number of the Aral) soldiers now quartered on the Quai d'Orsay were observed two days ago washing their linen in the courtyard of the barracks. A large flat stone was plac ed on the ground, on which the linen, well rubbed with soap was laid. Water was then thrown gently on it, an operation which was repeated from time to time, while another Arab , with his legs and feet naked, k e pt j um pi n g and stamping en it, his feet thus per forming the part of a wooden beater. This is the way in which the Arabs always wash their linen and burnous, never touching them with their hands, a plan which, they say, is better and more expeditious than any other, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SlR,—Seeing by the advertisements that there are two or three committees for raising monuments to Shakespere, I cannot help thinking that those gentlemen would do a greater public service by attempting to raise the living re representatives of the poet to a better position than they occupy at present. This they should do, rather than squan der a large sum of money on two or three inanimate stone representatives, which are not wanted, because there is a very good one in Westminster Abbey, another in the British Museum, both by Roubiline, and a third on the top of the Theatre Royal, Drury-lane, where it is about as inappro priate as a guard of honour to a twopenny omnibus, although, in one sense, it is indicative of the taste of the times, as it suggests to the ima ginative inhabitants of Vinegar-yard the idea of the British public having turned him out of the house to abide the pelting of the pitiless storm in Brydges-street. Well, next comes the question—How can the living representa tives be aided and the drama encouraged ? Let us se.. Of course, there must be a committee ; and, as Mr. Macready is president of one of the Statue Committees, perhaps he would not object to identify himself with one for the benefit of his professional brethren. Well, could a theatre devoted to the legitimate drama be partially supported by subscrip • tion as the operas are ? The pulse of the public should be felt on the subject, and I am inclined to think that the liberal and enlightened nobility of England, with the young Prince and Princess of Wales at their head, would gladly foster any well-developed plan calculated to uphold the dramatic literature of the country, and elevate the character of the British stage.—l have the honour to be, your obe dient servant, GEORGE ELLIS, June, 1863, STEAM SHIPBUILDING ON THE CLYDE.—Messrs. Caird and Co. have received an order from the West India Royal Mail Steamship Company for a screw of 2,434 tons burden and 500-horse power. The machinery will embrace surface condensation, superheated steam, and a steel shaft by Krupp, of Essen. The steamer will be modelled generally after the America, lately fitted by Messrs. Caird and Co. Satisfactory trial trips have been made by the Lord Gough, built for the Dublin trade by Messrs. Caird and Co., and the Mary Anne recently launched by Messrs. Connell and Co. The Mary Anne proved herself the fastest boat, having run the lights in 49m., thus attaining a speed of 19 miles per hour. She has been purchased at a high price by the Government of the Confederates States o e eri f f Atmwoociah,ead r n ste w a i m il av e l r e sw e h th ic e h C p l r y o d c e ee s d h e o d ril t y o a t s h s e wake au last week. Agents of the Confederates have also been in nego tiation for the swift steamer, Rothesay Castle, but no defi nitive contract is yet known to have been concluded on the subject. Mr. A. Den ny, of Dumbarton, has launched an iron paddle name the City of Dunedin, built for the New Zealand coasting trade; she is 463 tons burden, and is to be fitted by Messrs. De any and Co. with engines of 100- horse power. Messrs. Scott and Son, of Cartsdyke, have launched the Washington, a fine steamer, of 3,250 tons, builders' measurement, constructed for the Compagnie Generale Transatlanti quo. The Washington is 346 ft. long from bow to stern (her boa i being a perpendicular one), and her breadth of beam 44ft., - while she has 31ft. depth of hold. She is now being fitted w ith engines of 850-horse power nominal, the diameter of hoer cylinders being 94in. Great things are expected of this fine vessel. The Washington is intended to ply leetwetm Havre and New York, being one of a fleet of eleven .steamers. now building for the same company—seven of the 11 are in course of construc tion by Messrs. Scott and Co., who have several of them on hand in France, and two ot tiers at their works at Cartsdyke. Each of the boilers and 0°4,3 plates will weigh 61 tons. CHELMSFORD MEETING-WEDNESDAY.

GRAVEYARD- OF THE ANGLO SAXON. The Rev. J. G. K. Houghton writes as follows to a Montreal paper :—" It may afford a melancholy consolation to some of those who ha - se suffered from the loss of the Anglo-Saxon to know something of the spot where so many victims of carelessness, want of discipline, and cowardice lie buried. Be tween Cape Race and Cape Ballard the land retires in a semi-circular bay: the line of the shore, how ever, is not even, and this bay may be said to be formed by several smaller bays, the first, the scene of the calamity, extending from Cape Race to the entrance of Clam Cove. Within this bay, at about 4} miles from Cape Race, in a recess formed by the sea retiring between projecting rocks, the Anglo- Saxon was wrecked nearly at noonday. The ship lies in between six and seven fathoms of water, and on the 16th May the masts were yet visible, stand ing about six or eight feet from the water. As nearly as I could judge, at about a mile and a quar ter from the wreck bold rocks, covered with trees, mark the spot where Clam Cove indents the shcre, and after piercing the land for some distance in a direct line, turns at a right angle, and runs on for about 100 yards. This bend is on the sea side bor dered by rocks covered with low firs; on the land there is a level breadth from which the rocks rise precipitously to the plain above, and these rocks, like those opposite, are more or less covered with trees, a deep belt of which surrounds the whole cove. On this level 134 bodies, as nearly as it was in my power to estimate, lie buried. It is a peaceful and quiet spot, and till the rude wooden crosses and mounds of stones marked the graves, seemed to have remained undisturbed by the tread of man. Old men and young men were bu ried there sideby an s d ld a e —two sometimes in one; g rave, a woman full flush confidence te t t child, a man and a youth . It was a terribloe or e o tw see the boats bringing i n now one, now dead bodies—bodies of those e who had died h in the prime of the prime of life, or in th e a l a n n d d the wh hope ere t their r friends youth, w . thin waited to gee a few darys sail of h , oree ; them, where their new future was laid. After my arrival I personally superintended the burials, and it will be a melancholy comfort to us all to know that the rough islanders treated the bodies themselves with decency and reverence. Although not proof against the temptation of unholy gain, the religion of even the wreckers had taught them to respect the dead, but no persuasions or promises of mine availed to rescue even a watch or a ring as a memento fir the living. While one hand reverently swathed the head with handkerchiefs and linen, the other rifled the pockets. Some were muc h c h ange d, but the countenances generally appeared to indicate that the last moments had been painless, and that they had passed away in peace; the eyes even of some were closed, and the clenched h a nds , were often the only evidences of a violent death. The funeral ser vice of the Church of England was, I am intormed , read by the Rev. Mr. Eaton, but as the larger num ber had been interred subseq uentl y I m y self read it on Ascension Day, and again on Saturday, the 16th of May," IMPERM P HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening. 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 ha 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 ho 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 tailed. The object of thosc, who had promoted the bill had been grewly 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 t o the petition from the University of Oxford, for there hail 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 eeemed to be based upon an error of facts. He begged to move that the order be discharged. Sir W. HEAT HCOT E said that 2,000 non-resident mem bers of the University had expressed their approval of tha course Convocation had taken in opposing the till. 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 Me9.BlllT- 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 influential 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 faced danger. He thought the Church would be greatly strengthened if she could fight with a freer hand. After some remarks from Mr. Monsell, Mr. R. Mills, Mr. Henley, and Mr. Dunlop, the order was discharscd, and the bill was withdrawn. MISAPPROPRIATION OF SERVANTS BILL. Mr. STANILAND moved the second reading of this bill. He explained that the taking of corn by servants to feed their masters' 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. lie proposed that the penalty for such an offence should be imprisonment of not more than three months, or a penalty not exceeding £5. Sir G. GREY said the bill would require some altera tion in committee. _ . The bill was then read a second time. ADMIRALTY BOARD. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY resum( d 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 controlof 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 Ad miralty reform. His own opinion was, that if the Admiralty itself would take up the matter, and make those changes which were necessary in the department, no committee would be necessary. The great point to be gained was to make the Admiralty itself responsible to Parliament, so that there might be some efficient control over the expenditure on account of the navy. Sir J. HAY agreed with the last speaker in thinking that a committee at this period of the session could not ar rive at any useful result. At the same time, if the motion were proposed he should vote for it, as he was of opinion that something should be done to secure, if possible, unity of action and individual responsibility in the department of the Admiralty. Mr. O. P. BERKELEY opposed the motion, on the ground that inquiry had already- been instituted. Mr. STANSFELD said he had not been long enough at the Admiralty to express that decided opinion which greater experience would have enabled him to do. He con tended, however, that the First Lord of the Admi ralty was responsible for the conduct of the heads of all the departments which were in con stant communication with him, and he did not believe any First Lord of the Admiralty would even attempt in Parliament to disclaim that responsibility. 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 carry 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 bon. gentle man explained in detail. Sir J. PAKINVION thought the real question at issue was not what individual reforms had been introduced into separate departments, 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. Sir F. BARING said an inquiry had taken place, and he recommended the withdrawal of the motion. It might be revived next session. Sir S. M. PETO also urged postponement. After a few words from Mr. HENLEY, Mr. DALGLISH withdrew the motion, giving notice that he would revive it nest 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 react a second time this day three months. After some remarks from Mr. Doulton, Sir S. N. Peto, and other gentlemen, The house divided— For the motion O4 Against it Majority.. The motion was ngatived. THAMES EMBANKMENT (SOUTH SIDE) BILL. This :All was read a third time and passed. HOWTH HARBOUR BILL. This bill was read a second time. POOR LAW BOARD CONTINUANCE, Mr. GILPIN obtained leave to bring in a bill to co ntinu.. the Poor Law Board for a limited period. The bill was read a first time. the house adjourned at 22 minutes past 5. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. CRACOW, JUNE 24. The National Government has published a warn ing to the citizens of Warsaw, that the Russian Government is desirous of exciting a rising in that capital. Eight hundred and sixty-nine gentlemen are confined as prisoners in the fortress of Dunaburg. Six hundred persons, partly public functionaries and partly gentlemen, are shut up in the barracks at Mohilus, while ladies and aged men have been brought bound into the city. M. Krzywichi, the Polish Minister of Public Worship, has Bent in his resignation. AUSTRIA. THE ADDRESSES OF THE REICHSRATIL VIENNA, TUNE 24. The draughts of the addresses of both Houses of the Iteichsrath have been published. Both addresses advocate a policy of justice for Poland ; express the necessity for German Federal reform ; and warmly desire the success of the task of establishing the Constitution in Austria. The Upper House voted the address according to the draught of the committee. o e f nup to BthaeroiziaCyloarrls in has just addressed a l etter at the report presented by that fun ctionar y to tho Algiers, expressing his satisfaction recently municipal council of Algiers, on the improvements effected in that city.
