Mr LINDSAY moved an address for copy of any cor respondence between her Majesty's Government and the Governments of France, Spain, and Portugal from 1850 to 1863 inclusive, relating to the abrogation of the dis criminating duties still levied upon British vessels and their cargoes trading With those countries. He contend e d th a t t h ere s h ou ld b e an alteration in the afforded existing for system, t t e h m e , extensionin ordero thatf u o rs there might bo more f ac ility h ipping commerce with different countries on the coatinent, particularly Spain, France, and Portugal. Mr M. GIBSON said that he fully concurred with the hon. member as to the inexpediency of maintaining the navigation laws in their integrity, as they were found to be unsuited to the exigencies of the time and the principle of free trade. They had been in co mmunication with the Governments of France, Spain, and Portugal on this most important subject, and the result was satisfactory, the tendency being to carry out fully the principle of free trade. The motion was agreed t 9, and the return was accord.. ingly ordered.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS. Mr. CAIRD moved the following resolution :—" That, in the opinion of this house, the collection and early publication of the agricultural statistics of Great Bri tain would be advantageous to the public interests.' He drew attention to the importance of this subject, and alluded to the practice that prevailed in Ireland, that of making the police the collectors of these statistics, but he considered that the adoption of such an agency would not be suitable to the circumstances of this country. He strongly advocated the application of the operation of the Op:lnane° Survey Department to this subject, and he called the attention of the house to the value, in a scientific point of view, of an extensive and practical record of the agricultural productions of the country, which would be free from any thing of an inquisitorial character. Col. BARTiELOT opposed the motion, and contended the feeling among the farmers was decidedly adverse to the collection of agricultural statistics, which they believed would do them no good, and he hoped the house would not agree to the resolution.

Lord HOTHAM. retained the opinion he had before ex pressed, that, without more forcible moans than the house would sanction, it would not be possible to obtain returns with sufficient correctness, and unless correct they would produce an effect different from that desired, and do more harm than good. Mr Dent, Mr Hubbard, Mr Thomson, and Lord Naas spoke in favour of the motion. Mr M. Ginsow observed that there had been no difference of opinion in the house upon this point—that, if accurate agricultural statistics could be obtained, the returns would be of advantage, not only to the agricultural, but to the mercantile interest. It was, therefore, unnecessary to ex press any general opinion in the form of a resolution ; the whole difficulty was how to do it. He pointed out the many obstacles to the collection of accurate returns, and, remarking that the question must be approached with very great caution, he examined the plans suggested for making the collections ; he agreed , returns were mo s t d es i rable, but, unless the house was pre slightest pred to sanction some p art i cular plan, there was not the ghtest necessity for passing t h e resolution.

To attempt to cure bad legs by plastering the edges of the wound together is a folly, for, should the skin unite, a boggy diseased condition remains underneath to break out with tenfold fury in a few days. The only rational and successful treatment, as indicated by nature, is to reduce the inflammation in and about the wound—to soothe the neigh bouring nerves—to cool the heated blood as it courses along _ _ its vessels—and to render the thin, watery, ichorous dis charge consistent and healthy.

He was appointed General and Commander of the Forces in Virginia; and taking np the remnant of Garnett's corps, which had been shattered by M'Clellan at Rich Mountain, he soon cleared the north-west counties of the enemy's presence. After performing this service he took charge of the Ministry of War at Richmond, and applied himself to the immense preparations that were necessary for the campaign of 1862. In planning that campaign it was General Lee's opinion, contrary to the judgment of Beaure gard, that the best lines for the defences of Richmond were—firstly, that of the Rappahannock; and, secondly, that of the Rapidan; whereas Beauregard would have drawn them further north, at Manassas Gap and Bull Run. That General Lee was in the right has been proved by the campaigns of 1863 and 1864. The strip of country between the Rapidan and Richmond being hilly and thickly wooded, gave him peculiar facilities for constructing those fortis fled positions on which his skill as a military engi neer, in the intervals of active campaigning, has been constantly employed. It will be remembered that General M'Clellan, his worthy antagonist in 1862, was so convinced of the impregnability of these lines, guarding the direct road by Fredericks burg to the Confederate capital, that he sought to turn them by transporting his army down Chesa peke Bay to the peninsula below Richmond, and landing on the banks of the James River. But the Federal army, wasted by a series of fiercely-fought battles and by the disease of an unhealthy climate at midsummer, was compelled to abandon the prize which then seemed almost within its grasp. It was at that period, when General Joseph Johnston was disabled in the battle of Seven Pines, that General Lee succeeded to the supreme command of the Confederate armies in the field. Promptly taking advantage of the weak position of M'Clellan who lay too loosely on both banks of the Chickahominy, sepa rated from M'Dowell and his other supports, Lee sallied out of Richmond and attacked him with such pertinacious energy that, in seven days' continuous fighting, the Federals were driven to their ships. The subsequent movements in the Upper Potomac, and the whole campaign of 1863 were conducted on a very different principle. So long as General Lee stood on the defensive in the neighbourhood of Fre. dericksburg he could secure his chosen line of the Rappahannock against all the attempts of Burnside and Hooker to make their way south. But when, having defeated Hooker at Chancellorsville, he ventured beyond the defences of Virginia, and in. vaded the territory of Maryland, necessarily losing much time by a circuitous road to the west, General Lee was not so successful. The checks which Gen. M'Clellan at Antietam Creek, and General Meade at Gettysburg, administered to the Con federate army had more effect, probably, than any other incidents of this war in defining the regular capabilities of the two hostile forces. It seemed to be as difficult for the South to approach Baltimore and Washington as for the North to conquer Rich 4 mond.

He travels and sleeps in an ambulance when the army ie in motion, and occupies a tent when it is stationary, and not the largest and best • house in the neighbourhood, as is the custom of some officers. He cares but little for appearances, and is content to take the same fare his soldiers receive, In character and personal deportment he is ardent, ' grave, and dignified, yet modest and even distrust-. ful of his own abilities.

All he bad, and all he :hoped for —all that ambition could suggest or glory give— he would freely surrender to stop the &Tx of blood and secure freedom to the country, lie did not doubt that these blessings would coma in due season ; but he wanted them now, and would readily sacrifice every thought of personal aggran disement to save the life of even one soldier. — l/austratecl London News. ENLISTMENTS.—A return of the enlistments of I the army at the several recruiting districts in the United King'dcra in the last four years shows a great variation in numbers, but enlistments are of eoursa mainly regulated by the wants of the army. In 1860 21,66,4 men were enlisted, in 1861, B,l3S—in 1862, 4,642—and. in 1863, 6,294. The number enlisted in 1863 therefore vas rather less than a third of the number in 1860, but th , e proportion did not fall equally in each of the three countr . les. In 1860 there were 15,602 men enlisted in England, b ut in 1863 only 3,766—in Scotland, 1,779 in 1860, and as raany as 1,114 in 1863—al Ireland 4,283 in 1660, and ae pap.uy as 2,011 in 1863. Robert Edmund Lee was born, in 1838, of an old English family which had been settled in Virginia for many generations before the American colonies separated themselves from their allegiaeca to Great Britain. He is a gentleman by birth, breeding, and social position. He is a large landed proprietor, being the owner of Whitehouscs, an estate formes •y belonging to Washington, which is situated opo4 Arlington Heights, on the Virginia shore of the Potomac, overlooking the city of Washington, which takes its name from that bero. Lee was regularly educated for the profession of arms in the United States Military Academyat Nest Point. served in the Engineer Corps in the Mexican carepeign. At the battle of C;lepultepee he was severely wounded, and was twice promoted for consp;- cans gallantry during that war ; though it was considered that neither Lee nor Beauree hard, who also behaved with great distinction in Mexico, obtained as much notice as they deserved in the despatches of General Scott. In 1852 Alljor Lee was appointed superintendent of the Military Academy ; bat three years afterwards he was sent to Europe in company with MT:ellen, then captain, as American military commissioners, to study the proceedings of the French and English armies is the siege of Sebastopol. On that occasion Lee was advanced to the rank of Lieutenant-Colonel of the 2d Regiment of Cavalry, and this was his position at the beginning of 1861, when the war of secession broke out. He was at San Antonio, in Texas, com manding his own regiment, when he heard that the State of Virginia, which he regards as his proper country, had withdrawn from the Federal Union, and that the Northern States were going to ni3lelf 7 V7Vt . ' war upon the South to force them to return to their allegiance. Colonel Lee felt it was his duty under these circumstances to be a soldier of Virginia, and no longer a servant of the Federal Government in which Virginia had now no part. He raised a small body of militia in his own neighbourhood to occupy Arlington Heights, but was ordered by the Con federate Government to fall back on Fairfax Court House, while Beauregard was preparing to meet the first onset of the enemy at Manassas and Bull Run.

The following bills were read a third time and passed : Moira and Gresley Roads—North Western Railway— Halifax and Ovenden Junction Railway—North British Railway (Perth Branch)—and North Cheshire Water. UNION ASSESSM ENT COMMITTEE ACT AMENDMENT BILL. Lord WODEHOUSE moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to remedy some slight defects in the act passed in 1862. After a short discussion, in which Lord St. Leonards and the Earl of Romney took part, the bill was read a second time. PENAL SERVITUDE ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Lord BROUGHAM expressed his strong approval of the bill, because it brought the convicts released with a ticket of leave under the supervision of the police. Such a system had acted very well in Ireland, where it had been in opera. tion for some time. Lord LYTTELTON approved of the bill, and also of the conduct of the Government in respect to what they had given and what they had refused the colonies. The house then went into committee. Clause 1 was agreed to. On clause 2 being read, Earl GREY moved an amendment, providing that every offender who had been previously twice convicted of felony should, on a third conviction, be sentenced to penal servi tude for not less than seven years. Earl GRANVILLE objected to the amendment, think ing that it was better to leave the amount of the sentence to the discretion of the juges. After some further conversation the amendment was adopted, and the clause agreed to. Clause 3 was agreed to, Oa clause 4, Lord HOUGHTON moved the omission of that part of the clause which required a ticket of leave man to report himself once a month to the police, and to give notice to them of every change of his residence. He thought the principle of this clause was bad in itself, because for the first time in the history of this country it proposed to invest the police with functions of tutelage and direction. The Earl of CARNARVON did not understand what alternative Lord Houghton proposed to substitute for the clause as it stood. The noble lord's position was most in consistent and illogical, for he did not abandon police su pervision altogether, although he proposed to strike out the Previsions which were re qu i re d to make it effective. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it was quite right that some authority should have the power of knowing where men with tickets of leave were, and of keeping before him the fact that the eye of the law was upon him. But it seemed to him that the clause as it at present stood was very loose, uncertain, and unsatisfactory. He would sug gest that the clause should be so modified as to make it run that a ticket-of-leave man should report himself to the police once a month, if the condition of the licence should anleasvheoutlhdermepoodret himself s m el a f n i n n er th in e s o whichreq require r t e i o h i t o . discretion of the officer who was charged with his super vision. ticket -of e woul davem The committee then divided, when there were— For the amendment Against it Majority The clause was then agreed to, with some unimportant amendments.

Yesterday the committee of which Mr Baillie is chair man, after a long and laborious izquiry, decided on the pro posed new lines for Dublin, passing the bill for the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway, and rejecting those for the Dublin Grand Junction Railway, the Dublin Metropolitan Railway, and the Dublin Railway. The lino of the Dublin Trunk Connecting Railway is proposed to be carried out in connexion with the Great Southern and Western, Dublin and Drogheda, Dublin and Kingstown, Midland Great Western, and other local lines, and in conjunction and co operation with the port and corporation of the city of Dublin. The Metropolitan Railway case for their extension to Trinity-square, Tower-hill, was under consideration all day, Mr Fowler, the engineer, being examined ; the case for the promoters closed. Mr Denison and Mr Kerslake opened the case of the Wilts and Gloucestershire, with a capital of £299,000 in shares and £99,000 by loan, with power to create a 5 per cent. debenture stock, for making four railways on the mixed gauge, the first of 20 miles, from a junction with the main line of the Great Western at Christian Malford to Dudbridge, with two branches to the Great Western at Stroud, and to unite with the Stonehouse and Nailsworth Railway; witnesses were examined on the general traffic against the bill. On the reassembling of the committee on the Great Eastern Northern Junction Bill, the promoters intimated that after fully considering the whole question, they did not feel justified in accepting the proposition made by the committee of mutual traffic facia ties and reciprocal running powers as between the Great Eastern and Great Northern system of railways. The com mittee on the proposed Glasgow and North British Railway rejected that measure. The Lymington Harbour and Docks Bill, with a capital of £200,000, for a harbour and docks and reclamation of lands at Lymington, the Tottenham and Hampstead Railway, and the Isle of Wight Ferry, passed in Mr Massey's committee. GREAT EASTERN. The adjourned Wharncliffe meeting of this company was held yesterday at the London Tavern; Mr, J. Goodson in the chair. Mr Owen, the secretary, having read the notice of ad journment, The CHAIRMAN stated that there was only one bill suffi ciently advanced for their consideration. It was No. 6 "A bill for making railways from the Great Eastern Rail way at East Dereham to Norwich, to be called ' the Wen sum Valley Railway,' and for other purposes." The Solicitor read the heads of the bill ; clause 44 gave power to the Great Eastern Company. with the sonsent of three-fifths of the shareholders at a meeting specially con vened for the purpose, to subscribe £72,300, or one-third of the capital. The 45th clause authorised agreements for working the line as part of one system. A formal resolution approving the bill was carried unani , monsly. Mr G. P. BIDDER, a director, moved the adjournment of the meeting to that day fortnight, and said he had no doubt they had all heard with regret the decision in respect of the Great Eastern Northern Junction Bill, which was entirely against the company, as declared by the com mittee on the bill on Monday afternoon. He must say that he could not deny that the decision had given him great pain, as it was against the weight of evidence. In point of fact, they had made too great a case. They would see what had been stated by the committee, whose sympa thies were with the Great Northern. He would engage that if they incurred all the expenses of the inquiry over again, the result would be the same mass of evidence in favour of the bill. He thought Parliament could not resist such a case. The greater part of the extension was a level line from their system to Doncaster, and that was how their difficulties had arisen. He believed there had been no de. vision on that principle since 1825, which was the commence ment of his experience in Parliamentary committees. It was an unusual occurrence to reject such a bill, as in his opinion no case could be stronger ; but it appeared to him that the sympathy of the committee was with the Great Northern Company. The great cause of that sympathy was that the 174 miles of proposed line from the present Great Eastern railway to Askern was the best line in the kingdom. They had made out they would be able to save a large sum on the cost of coal for the poorest district in Lon don, amounting nearly to the aggregate of the city dues. They could have carried coal at such a price as would have saved £175,000 a year, of which £75,000 would be in favour of the poor, and £lOO,OOO would be available as interest on the capital. They proposed to make the best line in the country. The Great Northern had not got such a line, and never could get such a line. It was asked in committee what was to become of the Great Northern if such a line were made, and 83 the bill was rejected to save the prospe • rity of that company. They had shown the great advantages of the line to the public and the company. He thought the decision of 20 committees could not ultimately arrest that bill, or prevent the advantages to the public which should be derived from it. The Board of Trade would take the opinion of the shareholders to renew the application to Parliament. (Hear, hear.) The meeting then adjourned. GRAND TRUNK OF CANADA.

STATE OF TRADE, MANcnEsTEn, June 7.—Except for shipping yarns we have had a Very quiet and depressed market. There has been rather more inquiry for shipping yarns, with a fair business for all the leading markets except those of India. For India there is nothing doing. For China, Russia, and the markets of the Mediterranean there has been a strong inquiry, and some rather considerable orders have been placed at full prices. For home trade yarns we have had a very quiet market. Nominally there is no change in prices, but in cases where spinners are coming out of orders they show a disposition to meet buyers on more favourable terms. The business done in this class of yarns has been very small, and prices are drooping. The depression in the cloth market is quite as great as last week, and, if anything, more intense, This is partly owing to unfavourable ad vices from India, partly to the feeling excited by the American news, and partly to the uncertainty attending ho Conferences on the Dane-Germanic affairs. Manu• facturers hold to last quotations nominally, but buyers aro quite indisposed to operate on such terms, and if any con siderable business had to be done very much lower prices would have to be accepted. In reality little or no business has been done for export. In the home trade houses stocks are known to be a good deal exhausted, but buyers seem afraid of replenishing them at present prices. The principal business doing, however, is in the home trade, but orders are vary limited, and almost of a retail character. Messrs. John Slagg and Co. report of this day's cloth-market : "We have still an inactive market. Manufacturers are perhaps mere disposed to accept lower prices in cases where stocks are beginning to accumulate, but the business of the day has been too small to admit of any alteration in our quotations." LEEDS, 7th.—The cloth-halls have been tolerably well attended by buyers this morning, and in goods for the approaching season and in plain black cloths and unions a fair amount of business has been done. The great bulk of transactions, however, continues to take place between manufacturers and merchants by order or by sales out of the markets, so that the business done in the halls during market time is not a perfect criterion of the state of trade. Generally speaking the woollen trade, both here and in the surrounding districts is in a sound and prosperous condi tion, and the supply in not in excess of the demand. B o th the home and export houses are purchasing heavy goods, among which may be mentioned pilots, witneys, plushes' velvets, &c. The manufacturers and dressers are well earl ployed, several in the district working overtime. The ten dency of prices for new goods is upwards, and all cases the rates of last month are fully maintained. NOTTINGHAM, 7th.—There was a moderate attendance at this Exchange-hall to-day, and the demand for lace yarns was slow, but prices remained firm. Hosiery yarns realised previous rates. Silks not materially altered. For brown nets the demand was slow, but prices had a tendency to stiffen. ROCHDALE, 6th,—There was not a very large attendance of flannel buyers at market to-day, but a satisfactory amount of business was done at late prices. Both heavy and light goods are in fair request, and manufacturers are well em ployed on orders, so that the supply in the market is not very abundant, Yorkshire goods sell freely, and late price s are well supported. Long wools aee not so firm in price as they were, but dealers are stiff in their demands, urging that they cannot lower their quotations owing to the high prices demanded by the growers. ALUM BAY.—A. new and extensive hotel is building at Alma Bay, one of the most beautiful parts of the Isle of Wight, PR1CE...... ...4d. STAMPED... Naval and Military Intelligence, THE NAVY. ' The Colossus, screw coastguard ship, Capt. C. Codd, from Portland,stearned,into Portsmouth harbour on Monday to make good certain defects to her hull and machinery. Only a few weeks since she was stripped at Portland and fitted with new rigging. She has now gone into Portsmouth harbour for repairs to her hull and machinery, but the de fects of which will most probably prove to be so extensive that it may be necessary to place her on the reserve list, and ' select some other ship to take her place. The issuo of new rigging might well have been deferred until the actual con dition of her hull and machinery had been ascertained. The Racoon, 22, screw corvette, Capt. Count Gleichen, arrived at Spithead on Monday at midday from the Medi terranean. She sailed from Gibraltar on the 27th May, and from Lisbon on the Ist inst.

The Weather and the Crops, Since our last week's issue some light but very acceptable rain has fallen, but though continued more or less during two or three days the downfall was in point of quantity by no means what could have been desired. Some really good soaking showers were much wanted, for what with the continued absence of rain and the effect of the ex treme heat experienced about three weeks ago, the soil had become unusually dry for the time of year. With the rain last week came extremely cold wind s from the East, and in the earlier part of the week some rather sharp white frosts prevailed. Com plaints are made that the fruit trees have in some instances suffered somewhat severely from the frost, and French beans are said to have been com pletely destroyed by it. On Saturday an agreeable Pmlaucceh—Meere seasonable round to the temperature, change took wind s south, and a with warm sun, has since crops continue t o look prevailed.smarkably well, The n grain fromd all quarters good accounts are received both as to them and as regards beans and p are in many pl aces ready to burst e i a n s t ' o ear,Th e and wheatsth the present warmth, following upon the recent rains, will doubtless have a most stimulating effect. Accounts speak of " heaps of grass"—which is " good hearing" —both as regards pastures and th e ha Y n laking—for which the present weather is highly favourable. The reports from the hop districts are on the whole extremely promising. The effect of the low temperature, the cold winds, and the morning frosts experienced a week or so back, was, of course, ad verse, and a sensible check was given to the growth. The recent rains, however, were extremely benefi cial, and the change to warmer temperature and the subsequent sunshine giving a fresh impetus to the growth of the bine. As yet the plantations appear more than usually free from vermin, though there are reports of fly and red spider in some gardens. We are now arriving at a critica l period for the h op plantations, and th 3 weather for the next tw o or three weeks will be watched with much anxiety by the planters. At present the prospects are promis ing. The bine has arri ved at a sta g e in its growth when its strength will enable it to stand np agai nst those attacks of its numerous enemies to whi c h it is proverbially liable. With fine and genial weather the hop plant will bear and overcome a great deal to which under less favourable conditions it would succumb. So far as present appearances go, there is every ground to hope for a good h op crop. But that is all one can venture to say ; since it is far too early to predict with any confidence what may or may not be brought about by the next two months. As yet there is every ground for hope.—Sussex Advertiser.
