MONEY MARKET AND COrtIMMItOIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues to present an easier appearance. it is now almost solely influenced by the anticipated distribution of the half-year's inter , st on Government Stocks which operation commences next Friday. The public, in the mean• while are limiting as much as possible the aCOOM modat ion they obtain in the hope that by the augmentation of the floating capital of bankers and others, gester relief will prevail. The quo tations are tending downwards and the minimum rate out of doors is now .54 per cent. The biddings for 30,00,000 rupees (2300,000) in bills on India took place at the Bank of England, and the following are the official particulars-- The proportions allotted were : To Calcutta, 16,32,00 rupees; to Bombay 12,00,000 rupees; and to Madras 1,68,000 rupees. The minimum price was us before is 110 per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and is 112 d on Bombay. The applica tions within the limits amounted to 171 lace, Ten ders on Calcutta and Madras, at le 11 d, will receive about 31 per cent. ; on Bombay, at 2s, about 24 per cent.; and all above these prices in full. The last week's raiiway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are, in round figures, as under : 1864. 1863. Great Western North-Western South-Western Brighton Midland 46,914 42,875 South Eastern Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire 41,470 37,260 Bristol and Exeter North Eastern 65,866 55,070 Great Eas ern Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln 17,523 15,776 Truss returns when compared with those of the stmt. period of las 4 year are of a very favourahie character. On the Great Western there is an in crease of £3,522 ; North Western, £8,261 ; South Western, 1948 ; Midland, £4,039; St uth Etstertt, £4 1 8; Great Northern, £4,860; Lancashire and Yorkshire, £4,210 ; North Eastern, £10,796 ; Great E istero, £2,657 ; and Manchester, Sheftielti, and Lincoln, £1,747. Two o'CLocK At Paris, this day, according to Mr. R-wer's telegram, the Three per Cent. Recites were 66t. 15c. The Erigtish Stock Market has shown symptoms or improvement. A rise of -t took place in the early part of the clay and prices have since been firmly maintained. Consols for money, and to-morrow, the Bth, are quoted 90t and for August 91)1 The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 821- ; the Annuities 1855, 14.9-15; Exchequer Bills tor March Bs. to 3s. dis., and for June, ss. dis. to par. India 5 per Cents. 104,; and the Enfaced 5 per Cents. 104! 105 A--. A little fluctuation has occurred in the Foreign Market, and an improvement in most instances has been established. Mexioan (ex. all) were at one time 4 better, but they have since gone down to 29 4, still showing a rise of 1 ; the New 3 per Cent. Stock has advanced to 261 274; Greek Bonds were also higher than their present prices, viz., 254 1, 4 better than yesterday ; Spanish Passive were 294 4, or an improvement of but are now only 4 higher, viz., 291 4. Turkish Consolides are up 4 at 50114, and thy Confederate Loan remains buoyant at 674 684. The amount required for the interest and sink fund of this secu rity is now in the hands of the agents in London. The New Russian Loan Scrip is quoted 44'- 2 prem., and the issue of 1862, 871 88; Italian are 674 4; and Dutoh Certificates, 991. A irmer tone has been apparent in the Railway Share Market, consequent upon the favourable traffic receipts on most of the principal lines. North Western have advanced £1; Midland, 155.; Great Northern, Great Western, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, each 10a. ; and Great Eastern, ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines, however, remain inactive, and exhibit little change of importance as regards values. Bank and Misullaneons Shares have been in fair demand at enhanced prices. Bank of London have advanced to 178, 179 ; Alliance Bank to 76; ; Union of London to 60i, 62 ; and National Die. count Co. to 21 i tr. BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. GOVERNMENT FUNIDS. 3 per kjent.

The confusion necessarily attendant upon such a calamity at present precludes any lengthened details, The fire was discovered at about five minutes to two by a quantity of smoke issuing from one of the windows near the new entrance, hut on attempting to gain an entrance to the edifile the doors were found all to be locked, and, still worse, the person it. charge of the keys was not to be found. At this time had admission been gained to the chapel 10 or 12 buckets of water might have saved the venerable building, but nothing fir some time could be done but to quietly gee 3 on the rapid progress of the filmes. At ten minutes past two the organ was seen through the oriel windows to fall to the ground, and then a scene of terrific grandeur presented itself. At this time, although situate in the centre of the metropolis, not a single engine had arrived. The chapel was now one mess of flame from end to end, and it was not until all hope of saving any portion of it was gone that the en gines arrived. At this time the flames rushed with dreadful violence through the aperture, which till then had held the large stained glass windows, and seized hold of the back part of the premises of Mr. Finney, tailor, Strand. The engines were got into action, but the fire had burned itself nearly out in the chapel. At about half-past two the roof of the sacred building, which had burned with terrific violence, fell in, and thus partially smothered the burning timbers. Tee iff , , , ct of the water on Mr Finney's premises was successful, and at the time we went to press the flames were very greatly subdued. The whole of the communion plate, parish regis• try, and other valuable articles are saved. It appears that a gas fitter was at work near the organ this morning, and it is supposed that that unfortunate circumstance has led to the destruction of the chapel, which was one of the great antiqui ties of the metropolis. THE YELVERTON CASE, HOUSE OF LORDS. YELVERTON V. YELVERTON (OR. LONGWORTH). This morning, at 12 o'clock, this case was called on before the Home of Lords. Mr Rolt, Q.O , in commencing his reply on behalf of the Hon. Major Yelverton, the appellant, said that during the aejournment he had been able to oondense his arguments, and hoped their lordships would hear with him through the observations he had to make, which should be strictly per tinent to the questions at issue. The learned counsel went through the early history of the case with reference to the promise, which, he urged, had not been proved, and the respondent's counsel had failed to deduce it. The cases that had been cited were under decidedly diff.rent circumstances, and not entitled to the weight that the Lord Advocate had rested upon them. With regatd to the meeting in Scaktland, it was absurd to suppose that the respondent was not aware of the law of Scotland, and had marriage been intended she would have taken care to preserve some strong evidence of that mar riage, according to the law there, and also in Ireland if a secret marriage had taken place there or elsewhere. There must be mutual interchange of consent in Scot land, and their lordships must have evidence of when the interchange took place, and that must be when the copula took place, or immediately before. (He (Mr Rolt) took it that it would be their lordships' judGment that the promise must take place in Scotland, and could not be carried into Sootland to be the foundation of evidence of the marriage. He pre-supposed the promise must be seriously made; but if a woman surrendered herself with out marriage she knew she was committing fornication, and no marriage. Lord Brougham—The copula must be with the intent of consummating the marriage. _ . llr Reit put — his prop )sitiou to be that there was a serious promise, and that the parties must consider it to be so. Had the promise becu made and copula fol lowed, then the law considered that as the mutual interchange of consent. Noting the alleged promise and the correspondence, their lordships would not took at a single letter or a single passage, but the entire correspondence, and unless it proved that tne appel lant stood towards the respondent in the character of an accepted lover there was no proof of the promise. The learned counsel at much length proceeded to cite some cases with regard to a promise de future. That was an arbitrary and positive law, which did not consider an interchange of consent as copula assured it, but upon the argument on the other side, even taking their statement to be true, it would seem that if a man promise to marry a woman while they were on a voyage from India, and afterwards cohabited for one night in Scotland, that would be a marriage according to the law of Scotland; and it would be most important that the judgment of the House of Lords should be well and maturely considered when so large an interest was involved. Referring to the marriage of habit and repute, the illicit connexion between tee parties had a considerable bearing upon the law of the case, of which he would treat presently. As to the illicit intercourse, and how far it affected the pro mise, he (Mr Roll - ) should urge without fear of contradic tion that the law made it, that a promise made during illicit intercourse was not a valid promise. The Attorney- General had argued that no intercourse had taken place in Leland until atter the scene which took place in a chapel at Rostrevor, but no one but the Attorney-General could have that opinion if they read one tittle of the evidence. The facts, the circumstances, the documents, everything might be construed to prove, if hey proved anything, that there was a general promise subsequent to or during the time of the illicit intercourse; but, even looking at the letters and words, their lordships would remember that promise was one thing and intention to promise another. The learned counsel read portions of letters supporting his views of the case, and cited further cases on the effect of copula after promise or More as the case might be. (The case was proceeding when we went to press.) LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr Commissioner Bolroyd.) IN RE ARNOLD. Question--Can a bankrupt surrender after having been convicted for not having done so. This bankrupt was described as of the Commercial• road, East, cheesemonger, and this was a meeting for last ex amination and discharge. Mr Chidley appeared for the assignee, and said that they did not oppose the application. A difficulty, howeyer, arose, as there was a former bankruptcy soma years ago to which the bankrupt did not surrender, and he was sub sequently tried and convicted for the offence. The present bankruptcy was an adjudication by one of the registrars, and as there had been no surrender under the first ;milk ruptcy, an application was made to allow this bankrupt to do so, and Mr Commissioner Rine made an order to thAt effect, but the order had been mislaid. His Honoc said that the can roust bo adjourned for tho production of the order, end to consider whether the Court had the power to take a surrender after conviction. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MA.RLBOROUGFI STREET AN EXTRAORDINARY AND SHOCX.ING STORY.—A tall good-looking, and well-dressed young woman, named Catherine Schlei, was charged before Mr Knox with break ing two panes of glass of the value of 16e, the pi operty of ilr Samuel Humphreys, engraver, 12, Green street, Leicester. square. Mr Samuel Humphreys said that about four o'clock that morning his bells were rung violently, and two of his win dews broken. His daughter saw the prisoner do it. The value of the glass was 16s. l‘lrs Jane Tomaline, daughter of Mr. Humphreys, proved g the prisoner wrap a pocket handkerchief round her seeing the on a p n r d is br br eak then entered k the windows. The into a detailed narrative of the circumstances which drove her to the commission of the offence. bat the details are of such a disgusting nature that they '.re utter ly unfit for publication. She was fully cor roborated in her statement by her mother and sister. The magistrate expressed great sympathy and told ber father, who was the cause of all her trouble, that his presence was a pollution in the courr, and that he was sorry the laws of England did not give the power to expel such a disreputable wretch from the country. Great commiseration was shown for the prisoner in court, and the magistrate ultimately discharged her, and banded her over to the oare of her mother. A Terrible Scene,—Fourteen Deserters Shot, The South Carolinian of May 24 records the execution of fourteen Confederates at Dalton for desertion. A correspondent who 'witnessed the affair eays—" 'When I arrived on the ground 1 found the division of Major-Gen. Stevenson drawn np in lines, forming three sides of a hollow square. In front were fourteen stakes with a coffin at the foot of each, and in the rear of these a long line of yawn ing gt aves. Ina few minutes after our arrival, four waggonscontaining the unfortunate men fiiedslowly through '' -ha lines and approached the fatal spot. The men, with one exception, approached unmoved, and calmly looked around as though they were uncon scious of the fearful end they were approaching. By directio❑ of General Beynolds, they were drawn up in line, and a number of cha, lains approached them and besought them to give the few remaining moments of their lives to prayer, which was fol !owed by the reading of the twenty-third Psalm, and an eloquent prayer, which ,effected the pri , soners very much. General Reynolds then asked them it they had anything to say, and addressed them in an impressive manner for a few minutes. Two of them said they had no intention of de serting the service ; one said he was cut off from his commend at Mission Ridge, and did not know where to go, end so went home; the other said he deserted on account of his family. Several of their regimental and company officers now came forward and bid them farewell. The men, with one excep tion, were very excited, several having lost all con trol of their feelings. General Reynolds turned to them and said, 'May God have mercy on your souls, and turned hastily away. The guard stepped for ' ward, and taking each to a stake, tied them fast, and then bound a cloth over their eyes. All began to pray, and some were shouting and clapping their hands. The shooting detail, consisting of 120 men, were marched in front of them, and an officer stepped aside and raised a handkerchief ; then the ominous clicking of the locks was heard which thrilledthrough the bystanders and caused the unfortunate men at the stakes to shudder and tremble as though a galvanic battery had been applied to each. One moment, and a hundred tubas are levelled at their breasts. We hold our breath in suspense, and a sickly faint ing feeling takes possession cf us. 'While our eyes are riveted'on the handkerchief—the fall of which is to send these men to an untimely and dis• honoured grave—the officer turns from the con demned to the detail, hurries along the line, drops the handkerchief, and turns away. A ragged volley, followed by straggling shots, and two of the men are lifeless, others are screaming in their agony, and imploring and beseeching the men to finish the work so badly done. A few struggled to a half . ..reclining position, suspended by the rope w'eich confined them to the stakes, and expired. A young soldier rushes up to shoot a poor wretch who is crying in agony for death and presents his gun, but, sickened with the horrid eight, turns away, then wheels, and quickly aiming his gun, sends a ball through his breast. At last the Provost guard arrives, and despatches the few who were yet struggling. With a sad sickened heart I turned away, end even after I had mounted my horse I heord a shot fired at some poor fellow who bad lingered ten or fifteen minutes." SHIPPING-THIS DAY.

In time, wo are promised a complett, view of the poor of Europe from this gentleman's psr►, The New Dean of Lincoln, The Rev. James Awiranx Jeremie, D.D., whose appointment to the Deanery of Lincoln ap p,ass in the Gazette of Tuesday, was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, where he graduated in 1854, having in the Previous year obtained the Norrisian Prize, an honour which he also gained In 1825. In .1830 he was ordained by Dr. Kaye, Bishop of Lincoln, being then a fellow of Trinity College, and in the same year was appointed Pro fessor of Classical Literature in the East India College at Haieybury, a post which he occupied in connection with other appointments during the next twenty years. In 1833 he was elected Chris tian Advocate to the University of Cambridge. In 1848 he was appointed Sub.Dsan and Canon Residentiery of Lincoln Cathedral, and in 1849, on the elevation of Dr. A. 011ivant to the Bishopric he was elected, after a severe struggle, to the Regius Professorship of Divinity, which with the rectory of Somersham which is annexed to it, is worth about £1,500 a year. By the new statutes the appointment, which will be at once declared vacant, is vested in electors, who are the Council of the Senate. The candidates must be B.D. or D.D., and the day of election must not be sooner than 14 days nor later than 28 days after official notice of the vacancy. The Professorship was founded by Henry VIII. in 1510, and was aug mented by James I. with the rectory of Somersham. Dr. Jeremie is the author of the articles on the His tory of Rome from Constantine to the Death of Julian, end the History of the Church in the Second and Third Cot:.l9ries, in the Encyclopcelia Metropo • Mania, and of man: sermons and pamphlets on theological and eeclesiesseal questions. He preached the Latin Sermon in St. I=4;ll's Cathedral at the assembly of the new Convocation of the Province of Canterbury in 1852, and at the last Exhibition he preached in French to a congregation mainly eom posed of foreigners, in the nave of Westminsto:r Abbey. He is succeeded in the sub-deanery by the Rev. Henry Mackenzie, M.A., Rector of Tydd St. Mary, near Wisbeach, who was for many years Vicar of St. Martin's-in-the-Fields, Westminster. IRPERIAL PARLIAZE NT HOUSE OF COMMONS—Yesterdc Ly. The SPEAKER took the chair at twenty minutes Masi Naive o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the Wisbeach Wafer and Stockport and Ashton Roads Bills were considered, and agreed to. The Haylings Railway Bill was read a third time and passed. A King and Queen of Denmark, Sir Lasceiles Wraxall gives an extraordinary eccount of King Christian Vii. of Denmark and his Queen Matilda (sister of George 111 of England). Here is en anecdote of the King One Sunday, during divine service, when the Queen was divert ing herself in the riding-house in the rear et Christiansborg Palace, the King was standing on the balcony over the gateway, with his black and his white boys, and threw from thence logs of fire wood, tongs, shovels, books, papers, and entire drawers, down into the courtyard, and at last w anted to hurl his favourite Gourmand and the negro boy over the balustrade. Among the papers thrown down was a secret list of the fleet and the condition of each ship, which the lackey of a foreign Minieser found and carried to his master. In the following June the King broke all the windows in his own and the Queen's apartments at Ilirecholm, peeashed looking-glasses, chairs, tables, and costly china vases, and threw the fragments through the win dows into the yard, in which his playmates helped him with all their might. At first such amuse ments on the part of the Sovereign excited great surprise among the public, but they soon grew ac customed to them through their frequent repetition.' , The Queen was ecareely less eccentric, though her eccentricity was in a measure " by command." The following describes her appearances on horseback : " While the Queen gained many hearts by her con descension, she aroused quite as much anger by her free and easy manners. She appeared at this feast in male clothing, sitting her horse like a man, which created a great scandal among the females. She did so, however, by the special request of her husband, who bated ceremony, and, according to his peculiar mania, Eked his wife to display her beautiful form. It is certain that riding en hornme soon after became the prevalent fashion among the fine ladies of Copenhagen. Colonel Keith writes home---' An abominable riding habit, with a black slouched hat, has been almost universa ly introduced here, which gives every woman the air of an awk ward postilion. In all the time I have been in Denmark I never saw the Queen out in any other garb.

DEFACING WALLS.— William Simpson Lawson of Stepney-square, Iligh-street, Stepney, appeared for the third time to answer a charge of aiding and abetting two men and a boy to deface a wall with the inscription, " Try the London Tea Company's Pure and Famous Tea." The defendant is nianeeted with a tea company in the city whose agents have defaced the walls in and near the metropolis with their puffs. A few weeks since a man named Thomas, was detected while painting the above inscription on the walls of a private dwelling in Ziggeus wrest, Stepney, and taken into custody. Simpson admitted he employed Thomas and was fined 20s. and costs. Soon afterwards two men and a boy were detected in defacing an arch of theßlackwallltailway in a similar wayand were taken into custody and locked up. They also stated that they were employed by Simpson. They were discharged on their own recognisances to appear the following week, and a summons was issued against Simpson. The prosecution was insiituled by Mr George Webb, manager to Mr Thomas Smith, advertising agent, of Tavistock-street, Covent garden, who rents the arches of the Blackwalt Railway, from London to Blae,kwall, and pays upwards of £5OO a year for the same. The three prisoners did not appear on their recognisances, and warrants were issued for their ap prehension. Simpson disclaimed all knowledge of them, and said he only employed Thomas to announce " Try the London Tea Company's Pure and Pomona rea." Mi . Webb said the two men and boy had not yet been apprehended on the warrants. The Magistrate said he should discharge the summons. Whatever the suspicion against Simpson might be, there was no direct evidence that he had employed the three offendei.B to deface the walls of the railway arch. Mr Simpson asked for costs, and said he had attended three times on the summons: The Magistrate said he should give no costs, for he really believed the defendant had employed the three persons. The warrants for their apprehension must be extcuted with out delay. Robert Jones, a bill sticker, was next charged with post. bag bills in Mr Smith's adverising station, the Blackwall Railway arch, Whits-horse •street, Stopney. Mr Webb said the defendant would plead guilty, and promise not to offend again. There was an announcement on the brickwork of the arch that it was Mr Thos. Smith's advertising station, and the words " Bill-stickers beware. Mr Smith paid rent for the arch. The defendant said he was not aware he was doing wrong He had been in the practice of posting bills in the arch for several years. The magistrate said the defendant must not do it again, or ho would be fined very heavily. On this occasion he should indict a penalty of ss. and the costs of the summons. WESTMINSTER. AN UNGRATEFUL FELLow.—John Hayes, a cabman, was charged beton) Mr Selfe with ateaung a quantity of money, the property of his employers. Maria Webb, a married woman, residing at 2, Robert terrace, Cheliea, stated that last Friday she engaged the prisoner to clean her room. After he left she looked in her tea caddy when she missed all the money she had, which she had collected for the purpose of paying her rent. She suspected the prisoner, when she made inquiries and aster • tained that the same night he had been to the theatre and there spent her money. She then gave information to the police, when he was taken into custody. police-coastable 347 V, stated that ho apprehended the prisoner at his lodgings, and chat on his way to the police station he said that he had taken the money and was willing to work it out. Mr. Selfe—ls there any other charge against the prisoner ? Constable —I should wish the prisoner to be remanded, a s I believe there will be some other similar charges against him in the neighbourhood. The prisoner Was then remanded.

Resolutions .n contotmity with the objects of the meeting were unani musiy agreed to, and a ocLamittee was appointed. TRESPASS (IRELAND) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1 Mr BAGWELL said he had opposed this bill in all its stages, because ha believed it to be both unjust and in 1- politic, It was unjust, Because it took away that whit h belonged to the tenants and gave it to the landlord, and im politic because it would add one more incentive to a crime in a country which had long been pre-eminent for that arise fortune. The game laws were so unpopular in Englund that many of the most extensive landowners in England had long given up the game preserving, and Sir Henry Verney gave strong evidence against such a practice before a committee that had considered the matter, and some other authorities had expressed similar opinions. True, there had been no petitions presented against the bill, but it was a matter of extreme difficulty to obtain a public expression of opinion now in Ireland, whether it was upon the game laws or upon a matter that had occupied their attention for the last two evenings. The effect of the measure would be to introduce the game laws of this country, with all its crime and misery, into Ireland, and he frt. cne would never consent to such a proposition. A return had been made to the house within the last few we, ks, which showed that the convictions for offences against the game laws amounted during the six years from 1857 to 1862 to no less than. 30,673, and in Scotland for the same period to 3,226, He had in no way exaggerated the figures set down in the return, bat every member could satisfy himself of the accuracy of the figures by consulting the document itself. • In order to get rid of the bill alto gether, he Should move that the chairman do now leave the ohair. Mr. DAWSON thought an erroneous impression existed with respect to the objects of this bill, and he therefore should oppose the motion. Mr M'CANN condemned the bill as one calculated to in flict the greatest injury upon Ireland. When he looked around at the state of the house, ho found that, with two exceptions, every English member was absent. (Order, order.) The SPEAKER interrupted the hon. member, and told him he must conane his observations strictly to the motion before the house. Mr M‘MAIION thought that the hon. member was not infringing the rules of the house; however, he would at once bow to the decision of the chairman, He objected to the measure, and therefore he should support the motion for defeating the bill. Sir C. O'LOUGHLIN suggested that the bill should be withdrawn, as there appeared no prospect of its being passed this session. He must say he was in favour of the prin ciple of the bill, but the great distance of time since its first introduction had caused several hon. members to think that it would not be proceeded with during the present session. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for Ireland said the bill would occasion a great alteration in the law in Ireland, and therefore, before such a circumstance occurred, it ought to receive the greatest consideration. Mr 0. GORE supported the bill, which he thought was but fair towards both landlord and tenant. Mr MONSELL suggested that a compromise might be arrived at by accepting the amendment of the hon. member for Youghal. The amendment would give to persons having property in game a moans of asserting their right. Mr LONGFIELD was of opinion that much benefit would result from the passing of the bill. Mr. 111‘MAIION said the bill of 1831, in its retrospec tive clause, introduced a great anomaly into England. It was one of the last acts of the unreformed Parliament, and although it was a " trespass" bill, it was in fact a game-law bill. He thought it interfered with the fee farm rents in Ireland, and that it should not be allowed to go :on with until the people of Ireland had had an opportunity of con sidering it. After few words from Mr. BAGWELL, Sir G. GREY suggested that the bill should be consi dered pro forma, in order that it might be re-printed. Colonel DUNNE supported the bill, because it appeared to him that the opposers of it knew nothing of the law on the matter. Mr M'CANN said the bill was introduced to Parliament about five months ago, but the alterations proposed entirely altered the intentions of the bill. The house then divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Mejeriry against the motion Sir C. O'LOUGHLIN, in the absence of the hon. mem ber for Youghal, moved the amendment which stood in his name to the first clause. A contused discussion ensued upon the amendment pro posed, and certain additions that were to be made to it after it had passed, when Mr ROEBUCK said he put it to the house whether they were in a position to legislate on this matter. He thought it would be well to have the whole bill reprinted as it was proposed to stand, and then it would be possible to under stand what was intended. In its present confused state it was impossible to understand anything. (Hear.) Even the clause which several considered perfect was wrong. Mr 0. GORE—No, no. Mr ROEBUCK—Why, the hon. member is going to make another amendment to the clause after the present one is agreed to, so if it was not wrong there would be no need to do so. (Hear, hear.) He hoped the proposers of the bill would not continue to thrust it on the consideration of the house in its present incomplete state merely for the purpose of dragging it through committee. Sir G. GREY said he had made the same suggestion an hour ago. Mr ROEBUCK said that, in order to put an end to the confusion, ho would wove that the Chairman report pro- gress. The house there divided, when there appeared— For the motion Against it Majority —l7 The discussion upon the amendments to clause 1 was then resumed. ,kelr BAGWELL urged the hon. member to accede to the setegession of the Government, viz., to pass the bill through csmmittee pro forma, in order that the bill might be reported. If such a course were not adopted, he should avail himself of every form of the house to oppose the pro gress of the bill. After some discussion, the amendment of the hon. mem ber for Youghal was withdrawn, and the first clause was agreed to. Clause 2 was struck out. On clause 3, Mr BAGWELL said he was afraid this clause went further than even the English law. Mr APMAHON said he could never consent to make the killing a wild clack in Ireland an offence against the game law, whilst it was not so considered in England. Col. SYKES said the attempt to make this act worse thole the English one was monstrous. Ora the motion of Sir C. O'LOGHLIN, the word "rab bits" was omitted from the clause. Mr M'MAHON objec ed to the addition of the word " woodcock" at the end of the clause. He denied that woodcocks could be properly considered as game; it was a migratory bird, and could not properly be considered the property of any one. tie moved that the word woodcock be omitted. Col. SYKES said it was rid;culous to say that wild ducks, widgeons, and tea! were game. They were for six month ou:, of the twelve the property of the Esquitnaux, and he would like to knew how woodcocks and ducts, &e., tould be considered a property, and subject to protection. The house then divided on Mr M'Mahon's motion, when there appeared--- For the motion Against it Majority —s3 It was then moved that the words wild duck, widgeon, and teal be added to the clause. Mr M•bIAtION objected to the proposal. Mr WATKIIi said it appeared to him to be absurd to endeavour to make that property on land which, as long as it remained at sea, was not. Mr M'CANN said the landlords not only claimed the sea shore as their property, but they actually prosecuted people for walking on it. He knew an instance where men had been actually charged a rent for fishing on it. The committee then divided, when there appeared— Ayes Noes Majority —ll The words were then added, and the clause as amended was ordered to stand part of the bill. Clause 4 was agreed to. A new clause to define the terms " legal occupier" suld trespasser" was then moved and agreed to; but on the question that it be added to the bill the committee divided, when there appeared -103 Ayes 27 ' then N oes ............

O'LOGITLIN moved that the house g o into com mittee that, day three monthe.h the c, Secretary n 11 l I cee e tr t i h oc tu o a u rwy g ihtht of t htt the ee t lwa iw ll l e l no r f RaEOmatter d w o C f K ,gor so under e t it °c ue i d rp e d t a en discussion,m Ditni Home Department end the Attorney-General ought to have been present ; and he also objected that a bill of the descrip tion t h en under the notice of the house should have been brought forward without the co-operation of the Govern ment. Why, the bill was only advocated by those who i-notaut ~t the principles en which the law ofw pu e t r i e is P : lP me?;,.. Y was founded. The preatut measure, they were told, had come down from the Heuer) of Lords. Why, he Was ashamed a the Rowe of Lords—(la ghter)— the sages of the law l—(laughter).—that they should pass such a law as the present, which it flicted the punishment of flogging. He readily assented to the assertion that it was impossible to punish too severely those guilty of the offence, but at the same time he must say he objected to the present bill advocated as it was by the advanced lights of the!age, as they were called. (Hear and laughter.) He for one objected to these small attempts to brutalize the people of England. /kir ADD ERLEY defended the bill. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said previous to the right hon. gentleman the Secretary of State for the Home Department leavin g the house, which he was compelled to do by urgent business, he had had a consul tation with him on the subject of the bill, and he found his opinions were in entire accordance with those cf the ri g ht hop. g entleman. No cause had been shoi-, -,Jr the proposed alteration of the kw, and thererJre he should vote a g ainst the pro g ress of the bill. Mr HUNT su gT ested that the bill should be limited entirely to cases of a combination of persons to commit the offence. If he would agree to that prop( sal he should have his vote, if not he must g ive it the opposers of the measure. Sr S.
