2 . r•*4M' ~~~ IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF COMMONS—(YESTERD.t ) The SPEAKER took the chair at 2 o'clock. RAILWAY BILLS. Mr. BOUVERIE moved that the committee of soli action do nominate, from time to time, not more than none in five of the members nominated by them as the gi 3neral committee on railway and canal bills, to act as chair men of sub-committees on such bills. To be n iade a standing order.—Agreed to. The West London Railway Bill was read a a econd time, and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented against any shies ration in the Parliamentary oaths. A number of petitions were presented prayirig that public-houses may be closed on the Lord's-day. GRAVEYARD OF BERKELEY. Mr. C. BERKELEY wished to ask the "Under Secretary of State for the Home Department w'bether an application, signed by the proper authorities, had reached the Home Office for closing the graveyard'. of the town of Berkeley, in the county of Gloucester ; :and, if such application had been received, why the noble lord had allowed three months to elapse without takiag any steps with regard to the subject. Mr. FITZROY said a letter was received o n the 14th of last November, and on the 6th of December an answer was sent stating that an officer wou.ld be sent down in due course to inspect the ,grave yard. Three officers had been appointed fur the especial purpose of inspecting the graveyards of the country, and the inspector of the Gloucestershire dis trict would visit the Berkeley churchyard as soon as possible. Of course, when his report was receiv e d a t the Home-office it would be immediately acted upon. SUPPLY. The report of the committee of supply on the war and ordnance expenses was brought up and agreed to.. LAST NIGHT'S DEBATE. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. LUCAS took the opportunity of adverting to the case of the Misses Arrowsinith, referred to last night by Mr. Chambers. He mentioned that while these ladies were in a convent he had an interview with them, and he could assure the house that they enjoyed as much liberty and happiness there as it was possible for one to obtain out of it. It was entirely with their own free will that they entered and remained in the convent. The subject then dropped. ORDNANCE ESTIMATES. The house then went into committee of supply on the Ordnance Estimates. 902,8211. was voted for defraying the expense of works and buildings abroad. On the question that 134,368/. be voted to defray the expense of the scientific branch of the ordnance, Mr. W. WILLIA.MS found fault with the system in operation at Sandhurst College. Young gentlemen of station and family were allowed to be sent there to the exclusion of the orphans of military men. Colonel DUNNE remarked that the hon. member was mistaken, for the orphan children of military men always had a preference over other candidates for ad mission into the college. Mr. MONSELL confirmed the statement of the gal lant colonel. Mr. HUME denounced the practice which prevailed of allowing persons entering the army simply for the sake of the name or the station it afforded. No one ought to be permitted to enter who did not really mean to adopt it as a profession and a means of livelihood. Colonel DUNNE also thought it was highly prejudi cial and detrimental to the efficiency of the service that young men of fortune were permitted to enter it without the remotest idea of adopting it as a permanent profes sion, as they stood in the way of better and more prac tical men. (Hear.) Lord SEYMOUE. drew attention to the Ordnance Survey of Scotland. He said there was a report abroad that it was intended to be constructed upon a scale of six inches to the mile ; but for the purposes of a map it would be of no use unless it was made upon a scale of only one inch to the mile. Mr. WILSON said the scale had not yet been fixed upon, but the Treasury were seeking the advice of emi nent scientific men upon the point. Lord SEYMOUR hoped no scale would be finally agreed upon until the opinion of the house had been taken upon it. It might be advisable to have a larger scale for the towns, but for the country generally he should decidedly object to going beyond the scale of an inch to the mile, as it would otherwise be putting the country to unnecessary expense. Colonel DUNNE suggested that the smaller scale should be adopted as the rule, and that where landlords or other parties required a larger scale it should be carried out at their owu expense only. Mr. SMOLLETT inquired what was the position of the survey, as it was now being carried out. Mr. MONSELL said the survey was being compiled upon a reduced scale, but it would be highly inconvenient to disband the corps of engineers until the final scale had been decided upon. Mr. HUME objected to this blind mode of pro ceeding, and insisted that there ought to be one respon Bible officer in the State who should exercise a supervis ing control over the expenditure of every department of the Government. For instance, no less than between 700,0001. and 800,0001. had been expended upon this survey, and yet it appeared it had not been reduced to such a form as to make it available for the use of the public. Colonel DUNNE thought the house should press the Treasury to make up their minds at once as to the scale upon which the survey should be made. Mr. WILSON said he could state that there was no intention to depart from the six inch to the one inch scale, but he could assure the house that nothing would be done in the matter by the Treasury until the house bad an opportunity of pronouncing an opinion upon the resolution which should be come to. Mr. SCULLY said this was not a mere question of expense, it was a question of what scale would be the best for the public interest, and whichever scale effected that object ought to be adopted whatever was the ex pense. He suggested that a selected committee of the house should be struck for deciding upon the scale. Colonel BOLDERO said the survey of Ireland, which had been completed by the Ordnance, was one of the most perfect maps in the world, and he thought a better scale for Scotland could not be adopted than that. Mr. E. ELLICE observed that, on a recent visit to Scotland, he found a very useful and efficient staff of engineers engaged in surveying so useless a part of the country as the island of Lewis. That survey could be of no possible use to the public, and he was very much afraid a great deal of money was being uselessly ex pended upon many parts of the ordnance survey of Scotland. Mr. BARROW proposed that the vote should be postponed until an understanding should be come to upon this question of the ordnance survey. Mr. WILSON said there wag no necessity for that, as no money would be expended upon any new scale until it had been sanctioned by Parliament. The vote was then agreed to. 171,4461. was voted for the non-effective service of the ordnance. The Chairman was then ordered to report those re solutions to the house, and the house having resumed, the report was ordered to be received to-morrow. INNS OF COURTS. Mr. NAPIER rose to move an address to the Crown for a commission to inquire into the arrangements in the Inns of Court for promoting the study of law and jurisprudence, the revenues properly applicable, and the means most likely to secure a systematic and sound education for students of law, and provide satisfactory test of fitness for admission to the bar. He said this question was one of great public interest and importance, there were 800 barristers in Westminster, while the provinces in Ireland and the colonies, there were no less than 3,000, and the education of so large and influential a body of men could not be a matter of indifference to the house or the country. The honourable and learned member having adverted to the steps which had been taken with respect to this subject in former years, proceeded to adduce authorities in favour of the establishment of a public school for the study of law and jurisprudence. All these authorities admitted the want of some regular system of train ing for persons going to the bar, but up to this moment no test whatever was applied to ascer tain the competency of law students who were called to the bar. His immediate object in making this motion was to supply that deficiency, and in order that it might be speedily attained ; he thought the Inns of Court ought to be subjected to the same scrutiny and examination that was about to be proposed with regard to the universities. When he was study ing for the Irish bar, he had a difficulty in ascertaining what steps he should take for rendering himself profi sientaa a law student; but he applied to an eminent friend for advice on the subject, and he would tell the house the advice he received—" Oh," said hisfriend, "you areg oing to the bar, are you ?" " Yes," he replied. " Well, " said. hia • , fri end, " I should recommend you to study 'Joe Mil lr.'" , La when he k ug e hter.) But the joke did not end there, for in one of t i e over to England to complete his studies e i a ni t ls of court, he found that all he had to do was laughter. r many dinners in each term. (Re newed schools Which be There were no public libraries or could apply to for instruction, and the consequence was that was forced to have recourse to the library of a togtehed professor attached to the London Universi t ytain that knowledge which was necessary to render hi m ° compe tent to practice at the bar. Now since that time repeatedsmmittees had sat upon the subject, and various alteration s had been suggested to be made in the system, but carried out, and had and up to the only been partially England uc, the same state pre sent time, things remained in p r a t There was no bona fide study for as ;when he first came to the bar.

(Hear, hear.) Formerly the Inns of Court were a s p ecies of univ ersity, but sinc e the time of Henry the Bth, when they certainly partook of that character, they had wholly lost the supervisin g in fluence of a school of law and jurisprudence. The inns of court, however, still held a high trust from the public. It was still, he contended, their duty to look after the edu cation of those young men who made the law their peculiar study, or who meditated practising at the bar. For this purpose, therefore, he insisted they ought to provide a public school for the study of law and juris prudence, which should be open to the deserving students of all the Inns, and which should be rendered so com plete and efficient as to make it restore the superintend ing influence and control that were exercised in former ages by these institutions. The original object of their foundation was to furnish a public test of the oompe. MIM.., THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 2, 1854. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—March 1. EQUITY COURTS. (Before the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices.) RE THE SEA, FIRE, AND LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY EX PARTE GREENWOOD. The arguments in this part-heard appeal were resumed to-day. It is an appeal from an order of Vice-Chancellor Stuart reversing an order of the master, under the Winding-up Act, by which Mr. Greenwood was placed on the list of contributories to the debts and liabilities of the company. The ground on which the Vice-Chancellor ordered that the name of Mr. Greenwood and others should be taken off the list of contributories was prin cipally that by the terms of the deed of settlement, all shareholders who paid the full amount of deposit on their shares were only liable to the extent of their shares. The case was proceeding when the Lord Chancellor was obliged to leave court on public business, and as it is expected to conclude and judgment to be given on Wednesday next, we defer our report in extenso. (Before Vice-Chancellor Kindereley.) MAMMY V. BROOKING. Dr. Charles Maybury, a surgeon in the army, being desirous of purchasing 23 shares in the North American Bauk, borrowed 1,2171. for that purpose from Mr. Robin son, a member of a firm of army agents, to whom he was already indebted to the amount of 1001., secured by pro missory note. Dr. Maybury, by his will, appointed his wife his executrix, and died. Mr. Robinson, subse quently to Mr. Maybury's decease, also died, and by his will released to Mrs. Maybury, as representative to her husband, " the debt or sum she or the estate of her hus band is now indebted to me," in addition to which he gave Mrs. Maybury 2001. Mrs. Maybury instituted this suit for the purpose of having this bequest construed by the court, she contending that the gift in cluded as well the 1,2171. as the 1001. debt. Mr. Swanston and Mr. Younge were for the plaintiff ; Mr. Bailey and Mr. Giffard appeared for the defendants. The Vice-Chancellor thought that, inasmuch as the larger debt turned out to be properly the debt of the firm, and not of Robinson alone, he could not be taken to have intended to release that debt, but only the smaller one of 100/., which was strictly and properly due to himself. ARCHES COURT. MONEY V. MONEY-JUDGMENT. The learned Judge (Sir J. Dodson) delivered his deci sion in this case yesterday morning. It commenced, he said, as a suit for the restitution of conjugal rights brought by virtue of letters of request from the Consis tory Court of Bath and Wells, by Mr. Edward Money against Mrs. Harriet Money, his wife. A libel had been brought in, pleading the marriage, which was ad mitted on the part of his wife, who asserted an allega tion setting up a cash of legal cruelty against the hus band. Mr. Money's answers to this allegation were duly taken and read by counsel at the hearing, and he afterwards brought in a responsive allegation which was admitted as reformed, and, lastly, a further allegation was given in on behalf of the wife. Upon these allegations numerous witnesses had been examined, and, amongst others, the parties themselves, and many oftheir respective relations. The marriage having been confessed as pleaded, the sole point for the court to consider was, whether the charge of what was called legal scevitia had been esta blished against the husband to such an extent as to warrant the Court to pronounce a sentence of separation from bed and board and mutual cohabitation. The learned judge then went at considerable length into the arguments on each side, and concluded as follows : Under all these circumstances the Court felt it was jus tified in pronouncing for a sentence of separation from bed and board between these parties. In doing this he (the learned judge) did not wish to imply that Mr. Money was a monster, but that he was a man of warm and generous feeling who could not command his passions. The Court thought it could not safely send this lady back to cohabit with him, for his conduct certainly came within the definition of legal cruelty. The learned judge inquired of the registrar whether the usual bond hail been given. The Registrar—The bond has not been given. The Learned Judge—Very well, then, I shall not sign the sentence now; but, havi ng expressed my opinion, I shall sign it upon another occasion. If I have done Lieut. Money any injustice in this case, it will be a great consolation to know that my injustice may be remedied by an appeal to a superior court. The Proctor for Lieutenant Money said that his client would enter an appeal as soon as the sentence was signed. ROBERTS V. ROBERTS. The arguments in this divorce case were not concluded at—the rising of the court. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Fonblanque.) IN RE WEBB. The bankrupt, E. J. Webb, was a silversmith in Leadenhall-street. This was the certificate meeting. His debts were 2,501/. ; the assets had realised about 1,1001. The profits had been 1,089/. ; trade expenses, 5861. ; household and personal ditto, 6711. Mr. Ring, for the assignees , stated that the books had been fairly kept, and that the bankrupt had rendered the estate all the assistance in his power. His expendi ture had been rather large—five guineas a week house expenses, and 101. a month personal expenses. Shortly before the bankruptcy, when unable to meet his engage ments, he had transferred a pianoforte, worth 30/., to one of his creditors. His accounts commenced with a 1 deficiency of 3121. _ _ Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, stated that that deficiency was mainly composed of an old debt, which the bankrupt did not expect to be claimed. There were many favourable circumstances in the case ; the books had been so well kept as to gain the approbation of the official assignee. He had given up property which had cost 1,8271., consisting chiefly of pianos. It was true they had only realised 8001. ; but this was not the fault of the bankrupt. His Honour said the general features of the case were favourable. Good hook-keeping he always took as a test of honest intention. But the bankrupt having been in a deficiency nineteen months ago of 339/., the case was not one for a first-class certificate. The trade ex penses included a sum of 1861. for interest, discount, and law expenses. He had not conducted his trade econo mically ; but he might have an immediate certificate of the second class. put a few questions to the complainant, Alice Leroy, asking her particularly whether before she left Brussels the prisoner did not in some way give her to understand that it was not a house of business she was coming to ? The answer was decidedly in the negative. Mr. Arnold—You said that before you had long been in the house in Denbigh-terrace, you saw for what pur pose you had been brought there. What was there to induce you to form that opinion ! Witness—A gentleman, a Greek prince, first coming, showed me the purpose ; and h e ari ng defendant's and Madame's conversation about gentlemen, I heard her tell him to take letters to the clubs. By the court—The reason I did not go out of the house before the Greek prince came was that Madame would not let me. I did not remonstrate with defendant for de coying me front Brussels, for I seldom saw him. I did not remonstrate with Madame, for I was afraid. The complainant was then examined by Mr. Parry, and said—Soon after the occurrences detailed in my last examination I went with M. and Madame Denis to Paris, to the Hotel de Valois, Rue Richelieu, 23. Th e day after our arrival Madame said some person would call, and that she had written to several parties for that purpose. She said, "You ought to have better man ners because I intend to pass you for my sister." The Saturday or Sunday afterwards, I believe, a gentleman came, and she told me to take a book in my hand, and as soon as the gentleman came into the room, she told me to go into the bed-room, as she wanted to speak to me. After I had been in the bedroom about a quarter of an hour, Madame entered with the gentleman. The bedroom was quite arranged, and the window-curtains drawn. This was about five o'clock in the afternoon. When the gentleman entered, Madame undressed me, and said to the gentleman, "This is my sister." Then she turned to me and said, "These are my best friends." Madame then said to the gentleman, " Does she not resemble me ? You see she has quite the same physi ognomy ; she has the same breast as I have." Then Madame took me in her arms, and threw nae on the bed. (The witness here minutely described a criminal assault that was committed upon her, Madame Denis holding her down.) This was the first time any person had had connexion with me. Wnen I was first put upon the bed by Madame Denis, I felt afraid and trembled. I had no power in my arms, and no force in my body. After it was done, Madame threw the dress upon my arms, and said, " Go away—what a fool you are." I left the room, and went to another little room near the bedroom to arrange my dress. I could not hear anything because I was near the window, and Madame locked me in. I after wards got out and ran away. The gentleman had con nexion with me twice afterwards. Madame Denis was present each time, and acted exactly towards me as on the first occasion. After this I once escaped from him. I heard Madame conversing once with this man when I was in the little room, Madame said " I have a bill to pay —my lord ought to give me that because I sold you my sister !" I could not hear the amount clearly, but I have heard disputes between them about money. The gentle man one day said he was going to his banker, if he could give so much. He said, afterwards he would send 301., which he did the next day. Madame Denis said to the gentleman, " When you came to the house and I sold you little Marianne, you gave her a necklace of much greater value than that. He said "If you will go with me I will give you much more." Madame said, "I am to take my sister to the Palais Royal to buy some things." The gentleman then gave me eight pieces of gold. As soon as the gentleman was gone Madame put her hand in my pocket, and taking out the pieces said, "What, only eight !" He gave me a necklace and a ring, and afterwards a bracelet and a gold cross. Madame took them from me, saying that they were of no use to me upon my voyage. She kept the articles. I stopped at Paris two weeks. Nobody else had connexion with me. Only one gentleman besides, whom Madame called her brother, was introduced to me. Madame said no other person could come to her because she was there secret. I came to London, and on the evening of arrival I saw the defendant. Madame said to him, " I left my house in your care, and you have left it." Defend ant said he had been there all day. He had only left to take a message. He came to the house about 10 mi nutes after I arrived there. Defendant told Madame Denis that only the Greek prince had been once while she was away. Defendant afterwards came to the house, but not so frequently, through a dispute he had had with Madame. After my return front Paris, Madame once introduced me to the Greek prince. She pushed me to the bed where he was lying, and lifted up my dress. She then took the hand of the Greek prince, and placed it upon my legs, and said to him, " Look here, what fine legs she has ; just like mine." He did nothing to me. No other person was introduced to me. Mr. Arnold— Did Madame Denis leave the room, or did she leave you with the Greek prince. Witness—l left the room, and Madame stayed to chat to the Greek prince. Examination continued—When I came from Paris Madame said, " You have not a face clear enough. I will give you some medicine." Before we went to Paris, she gave me two bottles of black stuff, and after wards one. She afterwards gave me more, but I would not take it. I was sent three times to bed without food, because I would not take the medicine. I had my ordinary food after returning from Paris. I cried seve ral days together. Madame said that I ought to come down and do as the other girls did, and not to cry, because the servants would observe me. There was a young girl there to work. I spoke to her about my situation. I resolved at last to escape. I had made up my mind to escape, and was always looking for the means to do so from the beginning. I could not escape. The door was always locked, and I could not get down to get out. Madame was afraid that some people coming to the house to M. Denis would see the girls. When we went down Madame made us go up directly. She used to sit down and watch in the dining room. I agreed with the work girl to escape. I escaped about eight days after about half-past 7 in the morning. The girl opened the door for me, and went to the corner of the street with me, where Antonio was waiting. Antonio was a servant who left a week before. When I escaped I had on only a woollen dress and a pair of slippers. I could not dress myself properly, because another girl slept with me. Elvire Cerckel, a work•girl employed for a few months past at Madame Denis's, was called, and stated that she had been working at Madame Denis's for about 16 months, and had seen about 20 young women there at different times. Had seen gentlemen visitors there, but did not know them. Sometimes Madame opened the street door for them herself, and sat in a room by the door. Saw defendant there very often. Saw a person there called the Greek Prince. Had heard them speak of an old mar quis. When gentlemen were there she had been sent out often for the change of 51. and 101. notes, and had been for cabs for gentlemen. Saw defendant come in with a woman one night and go up stairs. Remembered Alice Leroy going to Paris. Defendant was left in charge of the house for the fortnight. He managed the house while Madame was away. The Greek Prince came while she was away, and defendant gave me a 51. note to get changed. After Alice Leroy came from Paris she looked very sorry ; she cried very often. She was crying every time witness went upstairs. She asked witness to help her escape from the house. Witness did, but was eight days before she could accomplish it, for Madame gave her orders to keep the door shut, as Alice wanted to get away, and if she saw her going, to come and tell her. On the morning of the 17th ult. Alice es• taped, partially dressed. When Alice had left, witness put Madams on the wrong scent. The servants becoming however, the objects of suspicion, they were locked in the kitchen till they divulged the secret of her retreat ; but having broken a window and called "police," a crowd assembled, when, for fear of exposure, Madame liberated them. Antonio Verbeck, another Belgian, late in the ser vice of Madame Denis, corroborated the last witness, and proved waiting for Alice Leroy by arrangement on the morning of her escape and taking her to a policeman's house. Mr. Arnold remanded the prisoner till Monday, re fusing to take bail. A gentleman from Lieutenant Blackmore's Asylum attended, and proffered to take care of the unfortunate girl new, and make provision for her hereafter, but the kind offer was at present declined, the girl preferring to remain in the comfortable home provided for her by the magistrate. _ _ Madame Denis was indicted three years ago for keep ing a brothel at 64, Stafford-place, Pimlico.

At the made fence and trench, opposite the stand, Burnt Siennaled, Bourton 2d, Crabbs 3rd, Spring 4th, Shillibeer, Cockcrow, Maurice Daley, and Half-and-Half forming a rear squadron. Going up by the barn field the tailing vris remarkable, still Burnt Sienna held in front with Crabbs, Bourton, and Spring well up. Bedford soon afterwards had the misfortune to break his leg, and Oscar fell before coming into the course the second time. After twice crossing the water, Bourton, Crabbs, Spring, and Maley, were the foremost horses coming into the course ; Bourton's ease of going strength and stride told. Crabbs tired, and Spring passed him ; the horses near were Maley. Lady Arthur, Cock crow, Burnt Sienna, and Geraldus. Bourton came home easily fifteen lengths from Spring, who was ten lengths in advance of Crabbs, Maley fourth, Lady Arthur fifth, Shillibeer sixth, after whom Peter Simple, Geral dus, and Maurice Daley, struggled in. These, with Peter, were all that passed the post. LIVERPOOL SPRING Cur. Mile and three-quarters. 24 subs. Mr. G. Mather's St. Clair Mr. J. William's Kilquade . . Mr. Fletcher's Escape .

ALLEGED TRAFFIC IN SITUATIONS BY IRISH REPRESENTATIVES. The committee re-assembled yesterday, when the evi• dence of Dr. Gray was resumed. It was of a very gene ral character, and there was great difficulty in fixing him to any specific statement, the whole of the ground of his charges made at the Tuam dinner resting upon current rumour. Mr. Keogh (one of the committee), asked the wit ness over and over again before any direct answer could be elicited. In reply to the question, " had you the im pression as to the sale of places on your mind as against any one member now sitting in the House of Commons," the witness replied at length, "I had no distint impres sion upon my mind with regard to any member now sitting in the House of Commons." Mr. Keogh—Distinct or indistinct ? Witness—l had no such impression. Mr. Butt--Are you prepared to state any instance to the committee which brings any rational conviction to your own mind of the existence of such practices ? Witness—l have answered that already. lam not prepared to state any such instance. Mr. Butt—You have spoken of other kinds of corrup tion besides that of selling places—what corruption do you refer to ? Witness—l mean members voting for ministers when the interests of their constituents are directly opposed to them—those men either having got place, or expecting to get place, by voting for the Government. Mr. Butt—Can you mention any such instance ? Witness—Not being myself a member of Parliament, I cannot, but I know it was commonly said that Dr. Power, for instance, the member for Cork, obtained his appointment by a corrupt bargain with the Government not to vote with the Irish members. I have said nothing upon this subject more distinct than was said by the Solicitor-General for Ireland, at a public meeting at Wexford, and than has been said by him to me personally. Mr. Keogh—Did my words convey to you any idea that there was a bargain between the member and the minister for the member's vote ? Witness—Oh, not distinctly, but you ought not to press me, because it was in the course of a very animated conversation. I remember that the words "base" and " rotten" were used, and the expression " corrupt under standing with the minister." Mr. Keogh repeated his question. Witness—Oh, not a bargain between A and B—" I will sell you my vote, if you will give me so much ;" but you said that Power acted with base corruptions—that be went and ratted with the Ministry, and had got his place as the reward. Mr. Butt— Were there other members besides the Solicitor-General from whom you had the idea ? Witness—Yes, several ; amongst others, were Mr. E. 13. Roche, Mr. O'Connell, and Mr. Reynolds. Mr. Butt—Mention the name of any member, either of the last or present Parliament, whom you have heard mentioned as having disposed of places for their own per sonal advantage. Witness, after a good deal of hesitation, mentioned the name of Mr. John Reynolds, the late member for Dublin. The room was then cleared, and Dr. Gray was ordered to give in on Monday a complete list of persons whom he had over heard implicated in these transactions. The committee then adjourned till Friday to-morrow. DWELLINGS OF THE WORKING CLASSES.--A society for improving the dwellings of the working classes has been formed in Paris on a large scale, in connexion with a committee in London. Its capital is to be 480,000/., of which 120,0001. is to be raised in the first instance by an issue of 30,000 shares of 41. each, the company, in consideration of that expenditure, receiving a subven tion from the Government of 60,0001. The first build ings are to consist of lodgings for single men, to contain 1,890 beds, and of dwellings for about 600 families. Ultimately it is contemplated to extend the system to some of the principal provincial towns. PARDON OF SMITH OTBIEN.--The Limerick Reporter says :—" Nothing could equal the happiness which the good news of the release of Mr. Smith O'Brien imparted to the family at Dromoland, where the Dnwigor Lady O'Brien, Sir Lucius O'Brien, Mr. Robert O'Brien, &c., are at present staying. In several parts of Clare there wero great rejoiciega also," tency of all persons who were called to the bar, and in making this motion, he wished to see that function re vised in its most stringent and extended form. He was anxious that this commission should consist of enlight ened and liberal men, and that they should sit in con junction with the University Commission, so that the education of the university should be rendered as uni form as possible with the inns of court. For in stance, the course of study for an undergraduate intended for the bar should be made the groundwork of his more intended studies when he entered an inn of court in the university, he should be made to go through a course of reading in national and moral philosophy, in biography, and civil laws, and then when he came up to London he would be ready to undergo, under the eye of eminent professors, the severe preparation which a proper study of law and jurisprudence must inevitably necessitate. It was alike for the interest of the law and the country that this commission should be appointed, and he hoped upon legal as well as public grounds that no opposition would be offered to his motion. Mr. R. PHILLIMORE seconded the motion. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL gave his hearty and ready support to the motion, as quite sufficient had been stated to justify the inquiry. The constitu tion and resources of the Inns of Court were matter of public concern, and they could not refuse to submit themselves to this inquiry, but at the same time he was bound to say that he did not anticipate from this in quiry the large results which the hon. and learned gen tleman seemed to expect. (Hear, hear.) During the last five years no less than five professorships had been established in connection with the law, besides many studentships, indeed at the rate of one every term, and he was glad to say that in that respect little more could be done. But still some good would result from the inquiry, if it was only to remove the misconception which generally prevailed with regard to the revenues and the application of the resources of these in stitutions, and since the Inns of Court did not object to the inquiry, he could see no reason why it should not be had. The light should be let into the universities "and all similar institutions, because it did them good, and he hoped when the turn of the Univer sity of Dublin came, there would be no objection to that being thoroughly inquired into also. After a few words from Mr. R. PIIILLIMORE, who warmly supported the motion. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was unwilling to allow the motion to pass without expressing his thanks to the hon. and learned gentleman who had brought it forward. (Hear hear.) Much had been done during the last ten years to promote the study of the law, but still much remained to be done in that direction. No country was more interested in advanc ing the study of jurisprudence and law than this, and he was rejoiced to find that the subject had at length fallen into excellent hands. For his part he thought the enquiry asked for hardly went far enough. He could see no reason why schools of law should not be established in connection with the Inns of Court, which should be open to laymen as well as the students of law, and he yet hoped to see the day when the having obtained some degree or dis tinction in such a school should give a little promotion in the civil service. In France they were far in advance of this country on this subject, but if this inquiry were effectuaily carried out he saw no reason why the pro fessors of law and jurisprudence in England should not be as distinguished as those of any other nation in the world. Mr. BOWYER admitted that much had been done of late years to promote legal education in the shape of establishing readerships and studentships in the Inns of Court, but still much more remained to be done. The remuneration of the readers was vastly dis proportioned to the services performed : it was only three hundred guineas a-year ; while the student attending the lectures was obliged to pay five guineas a term for the privilege of doing so. Now, in his opinion, the revenues of the Inns of Court were amply sufficient to enable them to abolish the students' fee altogether, as well as to in crease the stipend of the readerships. He repeated that what had been done wag nothing compared with what ought to be done ; and therefore he hoped this inquiry would be a searching one into the revenues, besides every other branch of these institutions. Mr. V. SCULLY highly approved of the commission, and was satisfied that its appointment would be attended with the most beneficial results both to the public and the Inns of Court themselves. Mr. HADFIELD availed himself of this motion to express a hope that the universities would be thrown open to all classes of her Majesty's subjects. Mr. CRAUFURD added his meed of praise to the hon. and learned gentleman who had made this motion, and declared that no public bodies had been guilty of so many breaches of trust as the Inns of Court. The revenues of the four Inns of Court, viz., the Temple, Inner Temple, Lincoln's Inn, and Gray's Inn, amounted to no less than 87,6801., which was grossly misapplied, while the rents charged to the students, and the fees extorted from them for dinners were equally extrava gant. Now, although the revenues of these courts were so enormous as almost amounting to 100,0001. a-year, would the house believe that they spent out of it for the purpose of promoting legal education only a paltry 3,0001. a-year. The motion was then agreed to. PAYMENT OF WAGES. Sir H. HALFORD asked for leave to bring in n bill to restrain stoppages of wages in the hosiery manufao tore. Mr. HUME hoped the bill would be referred to the select committee already sitting on a similar subject. Mr. FITZ ROY understood that there would be no objection to that course. Sir H. HALFORD—Certainly not. Mr. CRAUFURD should oppose the bill unless it was referred to the commit tee before the second reading. Sir J. WAL'AIESLEY said the masters were most anxious that the whole question should be referred to the consideration of a select committee. Mr. FITZROY said the understanding he had come to was, that this bill should be referred to a select com mittee after the second reading. With regard to re ferring the whole of the general question of the truck system to a select committee, he was not prepared to give such a pledge, as the same subject was investigated by a select committee no later ago than 1842. Leave was then given to bring in the bill. METROPOLITAN BRIDGES. Mr. OLIVEIRA moved to nominate the committee on metropolitan bridges.—Mr. Oliveira, Sir W. Moles worth, Lord J. Manners, Lord R. Grosvenor, Sir J. Duke, Sir B. Hall, Mr. Wilkinson, Mr. Blackett, Mr. Alderman Cubitt, Mr. Alderman Challis, Mr. Pellatt, Lord A. Hervey, Mr. Jackson, Mr. Locke, and Sir J. Shelley.—Five to be the quorum. Agreed to. MANUFACTURE OF ARMS. Mr. MONSELL moved the appointment of a select committee to consider the cheapest, most expeditious, and most efficient mode of providing small arms for her Majesty's service. Lord DUDLEY STUART said he hoped the commitee would be a fair and impartial one. No com mittee would be satisfactory to the house, or the country, unless the noble lord the member for Totnes was on it. Mr. HUME said in 1811 a committee of the house decided upon the impracticability of the Government undertaking the manufacture of small arms. The motion was then agreed to. The house adjourned shortly before six o'clock. UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, MARCH 1. THE VACANT HEADSHIP OF EXETER COLLEGE. A. notice from the sub-rector (the Rev. W. Andrews) has been affixed to the chapel door, announcing that in accordance with the provisions of the statutes, the elec tion of a new rector will be proceeded with on the 18th of March, 17 days from the date of the notice. The electors are the whole body of fellows, 24 in number, and it is lawful for them to elect any one to the rector ship who either is or has been a fellow of the college. The number of persons eligible is thus very large. The examiners appointed by the trustees of the Lusby scholarships have given notice that an examina tion will he holden in Magdalen-hall on Tuesday, March 21, and the following days, for the purpose of electing a scholar on that foundation. The scholarship, tenable for three years, is open to all candidates, with out regard to place of birth or education ; if members of the University, they must not have exceeded the eighth term from their matriculation. Gentlemen who desire to offer themselves as candidates are requested to call on the Vice-Principal on or before Monday, March 20, with testimonials from their respective colleges or schools, and also, if they be members of the University, to bring certificates of their standing. The examiners are the Rev. R. - Mitchell, Vice-Prin cipal of Magdalen-hall ; the Rev. R. Gandell, Chaplain of Corpus ; and Mr. R. F. Hessey, Fellow of Magdalen College. CAMBRIDGE, MARCH 1. At a congregation held this day the following degrees were conferred : BACHELORS OF ARTS. William Arthur Smith, Trinity College. George Crisp, St. Peter's College. Evan Alfred Jenkin, Caius College. Robert Harcourt Chambers, Frederic Le Clerc Faught, Clare-hall. Henry William King Fardell, Queen's College. John Stiles Weston, Arthur Burton, Emmanuel College. George Rawlinson, A paper has been printed for the use of members of the Hebdomadal Board, and circulated widely among those engaged in the tuition and discipline of colleges, proposing certain alterations in the times and mode of the examinations. Responsions are to be held three times in the year—viz., in Hilary, Act, and Michaelmas Terms, during the last fortnight of each. The number of the masters of the schools is to be increased to four, and these four are to sit continuously in two different ' schools, so that two sets of examinations may be going on at once. The first public examination under Mode rators is proposed to he held twice a-year, in the same terms as at present, but the examination is to be ad vanced to the beginning of the Easter Term, and to commence on the Wednesday after Easter week ; while an Michaelmas Term it is to be deferred to the latter portion of the Term, aad to commence on Nov. 20. 1 These changes are calculated to prevent the examina tions from interfering, as they do at present, with col lege lectures. They are likely to give general satis faction. The assizes commence to-morrow. The assize sermon will be preached at St. Mary's, by the Rev. R. Eden, of Corpus Christi College.

STATE OF TRADE. ( From the Manchester Guardian of yesterday.) MANCHESTER, Feb. 28.—1 t appears that a mone tary pressure in the United States is causing the prices of cotton to give way. We find also, and no doubt partly owing to the same circumstance, that the receipts in the ports exceed those in the correspond ing week of last year. This is something new and per haps significant. The state of the money market had occasioned a fall in the rate of exchange to set against the decline in cotton ; and there is a further disadvantage to this country in the high charge for freights. These accounts have rather unfavourably influenced our market to-day, as well as that of Liverpool. In a similar way we have been acted upon, too, by a telegraphic statement that the advices from Calcutta and Bombay show a dete rioration in the business of those markets. The failures that have occurred in this district have also tended to restrict operations by exciting distrust, and rendering every one increasingly cautious. Hence, the market is felt to be somewhat weaker, and prices slightly less steady than they were before, in such descriptions of yarns and goods as are not too much under contract to be thus affected. As a rule, articles for the home trade, parti cularly goods, suffer the most. However, under all circumstances, we must regard the weakness of which we have spoken as remarkably inconsiderable ; and more business continues to be done than might be sup posed with all the complaining there is. A good deal of surprise has been excited by the failure of Mr. A. Vickers, a spinner and manufacturer in the neighbour hood of Disley. His liabilities are about 40,0001. A meet ing of creditors has been held, and postponed to an early day. Rumours of other stoppages have, as is usual when anything of this kind occurs, been current on 'Change, HALIFAX, Feb. 25.—There is no noticeable change this week in any department of the worsted trade. Everything is dull, and all parties seem disposed to limit their operations as much as possible. ROCHDALE, Feb. 27.—The flannel market is more in active, and the demand for goods more limited than it has been ; but the prices obtained are much the same as those of the previous week. Wool keeps very firm, especially the low and middle qualiti es , w hi c h are be coming scarce. _ HUDDERSFIELD, Feb. 28.—The market has been quiet in nearly all its departments, though not more so than might reasonably be expected in the present unsettled state of political affairs, acting, as it necessarily must, to the derangement, more or loss, of commercial transac tions. Prices are still maintained, without indication of a downward tendency, a result no doubt mainly attri butable to the steadiness of prices of the raw material exhibited during the wool sales just concluded.

This was the first meeting under the bankruptcy of Richard Keily, described as an emigration agent, of Ladbroke-terrace, Notting-hill. The liabilities of the bankrupt are large, somewhere about 60,0001., but a considerable portion of these are secured ; the un secured debts are estimated at between 6,0001. and 7,000/. The assets are chiefly of a contingent cha racter. The bankrupt has latterly been engaged in a speculation for sending out passengers to America. He was also connected with the Asturian Mining Company, and, some years ago, obtained the concession from the Spanish Government of a railway in Spain, the profit of which he estimated at 12,0001. At the general election in 1847, he was a candidate for New Ross, in Ireland. Subsequently (he stated) he had been induced to accept a bill for 1501., without consideration, for J. Birch, editor of The World, who set up the plea of services rendered during the election. He had also been engaged in a railway project in America, called the Savanna Railway, from which he anticipated a profit of 30,000/. ; and to assist him in carrying this out he had borrowed money on mortgage of land which he pos sessed there. This land comprised 200,000 acres in the state of Georgia, for which he had contracted to pay 2s. per acre, expecting to reap a large profit from re-sales ; but being unable to carry out his contract, owing to the unsettled state of affairs on the continent, the purchase had been annulled. Mr. Fuller, coach-builder, of Mortimer-street, Caven dish-square, was chosen trade assignee ; Mr. Pennell is the official assignee ; Messrs. Lawrance, Plews, and Boyer, are the solicitors under the bankruptcy; and Messrs. Hart Brothers are the accountants. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.—March 1. OLD COURT. (Continued from our first edition of yesterday.) THE ALLEGED EXTENSIVE FORGERIES IN THE CITY. William Anderson, 30, a person of gentlemanly ap pearance, described as a merchant, was indicted for feloniously forging and uttering an acceptance for a bill of exchange for 2,480/., with intent to defraud. Mr. Huddlestone and Mr. Ballings conducted the prosecution; Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., Mr. Prendergast, Q.C., and Mr. Parry, Q.C., were counsel for the prisoner. _ After the examination of a number of witnesses for the prosecution, Mr. Chambers proceeded to address the jury on be half of the prisoner, and after observing upon the im probability of a person standing in the high position he was proved to have done sacrificing all his prospects and committing an offence of so serious a character, he pro ceeded to urge upon the jury that, taking into conside ration the nature of the transactions between the priso ner and Messrs. Van Notten, he might fairly come to the conclusion that he considered himself justified in putting their acceptance to the instrument in question. If he had done so, he said, under a mistaken notion as to his rights, still, if he had really acted so bona fore he would not be amenable to the present charge, and he urged the fact of the prisoner having applied to persons by whom he was well known, to get the bill in question discounted, and the certainty consequently of his being detected, was a strong proof that he really believed he had the authority to accept the bills on behalf of Messrs. Van Notten, and upon this ground he asked them to acquit the prisoner. The Chief Baron having summed up, The jury, without deliberating more than five minutes, returned a verdict of guilty. An application was made for 6001. taken from the prisoner to be given up to Messrs. Overend, Gurney, and Co.
