Tea has been dull, whil e sugar, except for good grocery qualities, has been a shade C heaper. Coffee has remained inactive at pre lious rates, while a good enquiry has been expe• deuced for rice, but the fresh rates demanded by importers have, in some measure, checked busi ness. The tallow market has exhibited more a nimation, and a slight improvement has been apparent for both present and forward delivery. Although there is very little alteration either in the demand for accommodation or the terms upon which it is supplied, the discount market appears It little easier, chiefly in consequence of the favour able alterations exhibited in the Bank of England return. The PooLah, which leaves to-morrow for India and China, will take £140,289. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's l ele gram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were '')Bf. 52e. Inanimate. Scarcely any business has been transacted this korning in the English Stock Market, which still continues to exhibit a quiet and dull aspect. A m ore encouraging feeling has been occasioned by the favourable Bank return, but it has led to no Chang e in the quotations, Consols being now just the same as those current last evening, viz., 91 * 92 for money, and 921 1 for the account.

These races are held on the same ground as that on which tha Bibury Club hold their meeting, consequently no corm. ments are required at our hands regarding the arrange ments in the stands and enclosures. The weather, if pos sible, was more brilliant and enjoyable than the preceding day, but the racing could hardly be said to be so good. The first race of the day was the Biennial Stakes, for which Gladstone, on account of his beating King of the Vale at Ascot, was installed first favourite, but he was beaten very easily, not being able to be even one of the first three. The race was won cleverly by Lord Strathmore's horse Sea King. The Stand Plate produced seven horses to compete for it, and Confidence was made the favourite at the com mencement of the betting, but an enormous quantity of money being got upon Buck he became first favourite, Confidence retiring to 4to 1. The race was won rather cleverly by Confidence, Southport being second. The fa vourite did not obtain a very good start. For the Stock bridge Cup even money was laid on King of Diamonds, and he thoroughly justified the odds placed in him by win ning in a canter. The Beaufort Handicap was a match between Balhaia and Kingswood, resulting in the clever victory of the former. The Selling Sweepstakes was won by Indolence, who was put up to auction after the race, and was bought in fur 130 guineas. Captain Little riding, Libellous was made the favourite for the Andover Stakes, but Mr. Thompson on Rubicon passed the winning-post first very easily. Ten horses came to the starting-post for the Mottisfont Stakes, the result being in favour of Dur ham. Full details will be found below. Second Year of the Fourth Stockbridge Biennial Stakes of 10 sous each, with 100 added, for 3-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies, Bst 51b. Winners extra. A mile and a half. 4 4 5 subs.

Edwards) 4 Voluptas, Tademus, Knave of Trumps, and Laurel also ran. Betting— 5 to 4 agst Gladstone, 4 to 1 agst Sea King, 5 to 1 agst Blondin, and 10 to 1 agst any other. Tademus made, play, followed by Gladstone, Golden Dust, and Voluptas, Sea King and Laurel being the last two, but after running a few strides Sea King rushed past his horses and came on with a clear lead, Voluptas going on second, with Tademus next, Gladstone at the same time dropping into the rear. Descending the hill, Sea King considerably increased his lead, but as they passed the mite post the lot closed up, and ran in company to the bushes. Here Blondin took the third place, and on reaching the dip raderaus was beaten; the favourite at the same time joined the front next the rails, the four running in a line to the enclosure, where Gladstone was disposed of, leaving the issue with the three, Sea King, who held his advantage to the end, win ning cleverly by a length ; a similar distance between the second and third, two lengths separating the third and fourth. Tademus was fifth, and Voluptas last. the Stand Plate (Handicap) of 50 sovs for 3-yr-olds and upwards. Lord Westmoreland's Confidence, 5 yrs, Bst 9lb (J.

Immediately the flag was lowered Confidence jumped away with a decided lead, followed by Southport and Peahen on the far side, the favourite at the same moment rearing up, nearly unhorsed his rider, and was left in the rear. At the distance Confidence recovered his lead, and won very easily by a length; half a length between the second and third, Nathalie was fourth, Buck fifth, and Demon last.' The Stockbridge Cup, value 200 sovs, by subscription of 10 Boys each, for 2-yr-olds and upwards; weight for age, Winners extra, with maiden allowances.

At the second attempt the flag was lowered, when the favourite jumped away with a clear lead, with Glenochty colt going on second, Vivid third, with Cerintha lying wide on the right to the bushes hill, when W. Day's colt dropped back, and Vivid took his place, but without a chance of reaching the King, who cantered home the winner by half a dozen lengths. Father O'Leary, who passed Cerintha on the post, was a bad third, the others were pulled up, and trotted in at wide intervals. The Beaufort Handicap of 25 soya each, 15 ft, and 5 only if declared, with 200 sous added. Two miles. 40 subs, 33 of whom pay 5 soya each.

Pony cut out the work, followed by Eudora and Indo lence to the entrance into the straight, when the latter took the second place, and on reaching the distance took a clear lead, and won very cleverly by a length ; Eudora,who came in the last few strides with a rush, was beaten by a neck for second.

The Mottisfont Stakes of 15 sovs each, 10 ft, with 100 added, for 2-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 101 b, and fillies, Bst 71b, Winners extra. T.Y.C. 31 subs. Lord Uxbridge's Durham, Bst 101 b (J.

Durham,with a slight lead, made play for a short distance, when he was pulled back, and Ackworth came on in ad vance, Vacuna lying in the centre of the course going on third, with Leicester, the Hersey filly, the Mary Copp colt, and Brother Jonathan in close attendance to the turn for the Bush•h111, where the latter bolted, and was at once out of the race. As they came up the hill Ackworth was joined by Vacuna, Leicester, Durham, and Mr. Orme's colt, the lot entering the dip in close company, but shortly after Ack worth was observed in difficulties, and as they entered the rails he disappeared from the front. His place in a few strides after was taken by Durham, who, with Leicester on his whip hand and Vacuna on the left, came on together to the stand, where they were joined by the Mary Copp colt; the four finishing a fine race home, Durham winning at last rather cleverly by three parts of a length from Leicester and Vacuna, who finished with a dead heat for second, two lengths separating the Mary Copp colt from the pair; the Hersey filly was fifth close up, Ackworth sixth, and Glendusk next; the last two were the Vedette colt and Evelina.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGII-STREET. ANNOYING THE VISITORS TO THE HANOVER-SQUiRE ROOMS, AND ASSAULTING A POLICE SERGEANT.—John Scott, a rough•looking fellow, living in Church-lane, St. Giles's, was charged as follows : Sere ean t Richard Edwards, 2 C, said that on the previous night, about 11 o'clock, he was on duty at the Concert for Female Musicians, in Hanover-fquare Rooms, where the prisoner caused a great deal of confusion by calling cabs from the stand and carriages before they were wanted. He told the prisoner to desist, but he refused, and struck him a violent blow, saying, "You take that I" t The manager of the Hanover-square Rooms was present, and wished to make a statement. Mr. Payne, the manager of the Hanover-square Rooms, said that the conduct of the prisoner and his companions, about a dozen in number, had become a great nuisance, the visitors to the rooms being subject to having their pockets picked and to hear the grossest blackguardism from them. In consequence of their behaviour at times they had been obliged to close one of the doors, so as to let the visitors out at one place, that the assistance of the police might be more concentrated, and a check somewhat put to the intolerable nuisance of the fellows. Mr. Knox committed the primer for a month. WESTMINSTER. ROBBERIES OF LICENSED VICTUALLERS AND REFRESH MENT HOUSEKEEPERS.-A shabby looking woman who gave the name of Anne Mitchel, was placed at the bar before Mr. Selfe, charged with the following robberies : Mrs. Jane Rushbrook of 37, Marsham-street, beer housekeei,er, said—Prisoner came into our house yesterday afternoon and asked for half a pint of beer. The very moment I went to the bar where the prisoner was standing I missed a pint pot I had seen there just before, and asked her for it, and she directly produced it from under her shawl, and I mentioned my former losses. Mr. Selfe—What were they ? Prosecutrix—l had two pots taken yesterday, and this woman had been into my house, another was stolen from my house on Tuesday, and I lost one last week. When this woman produced the pot from under her shawl I gave her into custody. There was a quantity of metal such as these pots are made of found in her room and all these cans Prosecutrix pointed to a long string of publicans' cans which the police had placed upon the court table. A Policeman said he was called and took the prisoner for stealing the pot, and then went to her address, where he found the cans produced. It was clear that one had had pewter melted in it. Mr. Sleigh—What is she. Witness—A married woman, separated from her husband. Prisoner—l did it through distress. Mr. Selfe—What was found upon her. Policeman—Sevenpence halfpenny, Mr. Selfe to prisoner—Distress did not make you have all these publicans' cans in your possession, or steal that pot with sevenpence in your pocket. Prisoner—l took the cans to get water in. Mr. Selfe—l fear you had them for another object. You are committed to hard labour for three mcnths. THAMES. IMPUDENT ROBBERY BY A WORKMAN. Charles M 'earthy, an Irishman, was brought before Mr. Woolych, charged with stealing two dozen silver-plated terrets, valued at £3 65., the property of Mr. Charles Fillingham, a saddler and harneesmaker in the Whitechapel-road. The prosecutor has been very unsuccessful with his work men. Several have been tried, convicted, and sentenced to various periods of imprisonment for robbing him. In February last two of Mr. Fillingham's men were committed from this court for stealing a large quantity of valuable property belonging to Mr. Fillingham, who is known in the trade to be one of the best and most generous of masters. Yesterday afternoon a girl named Frances Ann Steele, in the service of Mr. Fillingham, saw the prisoner creep into the warehouse at the back of the shop where he bad no right to be, and remove two parcels of terrets from a shelf. Each parcel contained one dozen of terrets. The girl informed her master of what she had seen, and he went in search of the prisoner, who was about to leave the pre mises with the property in his possession. Mr, Fillingham intercepted him, and he ran back into the warehouse, and thence into an underground cellar. Mr. Fillingham heard something fall and make ag clinking noise." He went into the cellar, which the prisoner was leaving, and found there a bundle fastened very roughly with a thong. It contained two parcels of silver plated ferrets. In answer to Mr. Woolrych, the prosecutor said that no goods for sale or any other new goods meuufactured in bis trade were ever deposited in his cellar. He was certain the brown paper packages of terreir were on a shelf in the warehouse a few minutes before the pri soner entered it. The piece of white thong had seen taken from an upper floor. The prisoner had been in his ettploy eleven and a-half years, and received regular wages of 225. every week. He lent the prisoner £2 a fortnight ago be cause he wanted money to purchase some necessaries for a sick child. The prisoner set up a curious defence. A child of his was lying dead. He wanted money to p a y the expenses of the funeral, and he took the two handles of terrets, with the intention of pawning them and redeeming them again as soon as possible, Mr. Woolrych said ho could sot believe the defence Ira up. The prisoner was employed by a respectable trades man, in receipt of regular wages, and had committed a serious robbery involving a gross breach of confidence. The defence that the prisoner had some misfortune, that his child was lying dead, and that he was labouring tinder great anxiety, could not be admitted as an excuse or pr!lia tion of crime. Every man was labouring under some anxiety, and all had to struggle in the world. He com mitted the prisoner for trial. NICKNAMES !—Sir Bulwer Lytton, in one of his novels embodies in words a reflection which has occurred to everybody in his experience of life. Whatever be the canoe, a " Jack" has little chance against a" John" in the race for fortune, although ho may stand high in the estimation of his friends as au amiable, or even as an excel lent man. Great men and good soldiers have had sobriquets to be sure, such as the nickname of " Le petit Caporal" for Napoleon, or the prefix of " Stonewall" to identify the Southern fulinen belli from a host of namesakes. But when a man becomes a " Joe," as Hooker, or an " Old Abe," as President, or " Bill," or " Shiney William," as Mr. Seward, he may he looked upon as marked out for an inferior place in the world. We hear in the Southern papers of " Presi dent Davis" and General Lee—in the .northern of " Old Abe" and "Fighting Joe." Americans on both sides are fond of nicknames, but the difference here is significant. — AI my and Navy gazette. LAW INTELLIGEITCE--This Day, COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) TEM:ITER V. MONTGOMERY. Mr. Selwyn moved on behalf of Mr. Fechter, lessee et the Lyceum Theatre, for an injunction restraining Mr. Walter Montgomery from performing at any other theatre than the Lyceum without the consent of Mr. Fechter. Mr. Montgomery in January last entered into an engagement with that gentleman to perform at his theatre for two years, but, as the "Duke's Motto," the opening piece, had proved a success, and in which Mr. Montgomery did not sustain a part, he had not yet made his appearance, bat, notwith• standing, he had regularly received his salary from the Lyceum. Mr. Montgomery did not lite the arrangement, and without the consent of Mr. Fechter, he entered into an engagement with Mr. G. Vining to appear on Saturday next, at the Princess's Theatre, ik Othello. Mr. Fechter had fur some time objected to such a proceeding, yet notwithstand ing that the advertisemet that Mr. Montgomery would ap pear was still issued, and under these circumstances he ap plied foe an injunction to restrain him from doing so. Mr. Haggaily said Mr. Montgomery's engagement did not under the nit curnstances bind nim. He had gained a position is the provinces as an actor, and it was doing him a serious injury in keeping him from making his appearance. His sole object in coming to London was to perform as early as possible before a metropolitan audience. Mr. Brookbank, who appeared for Mr. Vining, and against whom an injunction was 'asked, said the engage ment was made on his being informed that Mr. Mont gomery was quite free. Mr. Selwyn said Mr. Fechter intended very shortly to produce a piece for Mr. Montgomery. His Honour said the present was not a case in which the court could interfere. It was impossible to think that when Mr. Montgomery entered into the engage ment with Mr. Fechter that he was to be kept for au indefinite time in a state of idle inactivity. The statement that Mr. Fechter was going to produce a piece for him did not alter the ease. The motion, there fore, must be refused. COUIIT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. DICKSON V. THE EARL OF WILTON, VISCOLINT COMBER MERE, AND GENERAL PEEL. Mr. Coleridge continued his opening of the case on the part of the plaintiff this morning, the first of which will be found in another column. He read and commented upon the letter of Lord Combermere to General Peel, in which he recommended that Colonel Dickson should be removed, and set forth certain charges preferred against him, that he had received certain moneys from the Wellington College in respect of clothing and arms lost at Cre morne, and portions of which moneys he had retained in his possession, although applied to by the Quartermaster of the regiment on the subject; and also that Col. Dickson had been guilty of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman in threatening his brother officer. To this letter General Peel wrote a reply, in which he stated, that after reading Lord Comberraere's letter, and the document accompanying it, he felt authorised in directing the dismissal of Colonel Dickson. The learned counsel commented strongly on the unfair and unjustifiable course that had been pursued by Lord Combermere upon the mere representations made by Lord Wilton, without any inquiry or allowing Colonel Dickson to refute or explain the charges that had been made against him ; and also the course pursued by Gen. Peel. He then referred to th© motion brought forward by the late Mr. Thomas Duncombe in the House of Commons on the course that had been pursued towards Colonel Dickson, and which led to General Peel requiring a statement of the charges against Colonel Dick son from Lord Combermere. A court of inquiry was after wards formed, composed of Col. French, Lord Arthur Hay, and Colonel Hall. The proceedings of their inquiry were not in the possession of Colonel Dickson on the occasion of the former trial against Lord Wilton, and the learned counsel said he would show how the inquiry had been conducted and how Colonel Dickson had been fettered throughout it, At the former trial, Lord Arthur Hay, one of the judges, actually came down to the court and volunteered ,communications to Lord Wilton, his at torney, and counsel. It would be absurd to suppose such a thing; but let the jury only imagine one of our judges pursuing such a course. To show the manner in which the inquiry was conducted, Colonel Dickson was refused the assistance of a solicitor or counsel; but it so happened that a Mr. Harrison, who was connected by marriage with Colonl Dickson, was asked by him to assist him ; but so soon as they found that gentleman had some legal blood in his veins, they prevented his offering any assistance, under threat of expulsion from the room. There was alsti a Govern ment shorthr.nd writer present, and also one on the part of Col. Dickson, but they were prohibited from taking notes of the full inquiry, but only such parts as the Court thought proper, under threat of expulsion. The learned counsel then read extracts of the proceedings before the Court of Inquiry, into the conduct of Col. Dickson ; and the evi dence of Capt. O'Shaughnessey, the paymaster, Capt. Cooper, the adjutant, and the witnesses relating to the charges ; and which mainly consisted of questions in respect of the regimental mess and other accounts, and in which charges were reflected upon the very professional existence of Col. Dickson as an officer and gentleman, and commented in strong terms upon the irregular manner in which these proceedings had been conducted. The learned gentleman then read all the correspondence that had taken place between Col. Dickson and Lord Combermere, on the request of the latter that Col. Dickson should resign, and his dismissal. The learned counsel then adverted to the more serious part of the case, in which Col. Dickson had brought before the Horse Guards the fact of Lord Wilton bringing a lady, not his wife, and having the regiment paraded before her, and also obtaining her presentation to the Queen by a lady whose name he would not mention, upon which a court of inquiry was instituted, as also the manner in which the second action had been settled by arrangement entered into between Mr. Edwin James, as counsel for Col. Dick son, and Mr. Thomas Duncombe on the part of Lord Wil ton, in which it was arranged that Colonel Dickson should go before the court of inquiry, and ask leave to withdraw this charge made by him. That Lord Wilton should use all his personal interest to obtain a restoration of " Colonel Dickson, and to obtain military employment for him, and also in consideration of the loss and expense Col. Dickson had been put to in respect of the regiment, and the action brought against Lord Wilton that Lord Wilton should pay Col. Dickson £6OO, that sum was paid by Lord Wilton and by Col. Dickson over to Mr. Harrison. The learned counsel then read some correspondence between Mr. T. Duncombe, Mr. Edwin James, and Colonel Dickson, with Earl Wilton, on the subject of carrying out that part of the arrangement by which Lord Wilton was to use his influence at the Horse Guards in reinstating Colonel Dickson. The learned counsel having gone through all the letters and documents relating to the case, proceeded to state how he proposed to show that Lord Combermere and General Peel were re sponsible for the conspiracy which they had been drawn into by Lord Wilton, and having summarised the evidence he proposed to adduce, concluded by a brilliant peroration reflecting upon the high and illustrious character of Lord Combermere, now verging upon a century in duration, for the most part passed with honour in the service of his coun try, and also upon the career of General Peel, but at the same time passing some very severe and caustic remarks upon the conduct of Lord Wilton, whose only aim had been to crush and destroy the very existence of Colonel Dickson as an officer and gentleman of honour. The learned counsel did not conclude his speech until late in the afternoon, The trial will occupy three or four days. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. PETITIONS IN FORMA PAIJPERIS. The cases during the morning were devoid of interest. There were a great number of meetings to audit accounts, so numerous, indeed, that the names were neither published under the usual head of Law Notices or on the Court List, but simply designated "Before Mr. Registrar Hazlitt, vari ous, at 11, 12, 1, and 2 ; before Mr. Registrar Miller, 29 estates, at 11," As under the new act the accounts are audited about every four months, a great amount of trouble is occasioned without an equivalent benefit, for the peti tions in forma pauperis increase, and, probably, two thirds of the audits to-day there was not a shilling to divide—in fact the bankrupt got completely whitewashed at the expense of the general fund—the solicitor appointed by the Lord Chancellor receiving three guineas in each case where no assignee is appointed, and few creditors choose to become assignees where they may possibly have to pay all the expenses should legal proceedings be necessary. In fact,as it has been recently said by one of the learned Ccramisahmers, the law was all in favour of the debtor. His Honour, Mr. Commissioner Goulburn, to-day in stanced a case where a bankrupt had assigned all his pro perty to a dieter-iaz-law residing in Scotland, and sho being out of the jurisdiction of the Court refused to be examined. The bankrupt had in this case denuded himself of all his property and then carne before the Court as a pauper,. Such eases were frequent, end must be carefully watched. He wished in this particular case that Mr. Aldridge would look into the matter. A clerk to Mr. Aldridge said that he would leave the 1 matter in the hands of the Court. His Hon ur said that it ought not to be left to the Court —ilioaa aruat be some stop put to these petitions in forma pauperis. The case Vas adjourned for the attendance of Mr. Aldridge`. --- _ -- - The trial of the I ,,tisoners concerned in the Cremorne. riots has been postponed ;iota the next sitting of the Dila dlesex Sessions. lIE HOP PLANTATIONS.—RocuEsTER, beneficial of s et the T —The late genial rains have had a c t on June 1 6 . hops.

The Lord Chancellor took his seat at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Bristol and North Somerset Railway, Teign Valley Railway, and Cork and Youghal Railway bills were read a second time. _ _ Lord STRATFORD de REDCLIEFE called attention to the cruelties that are at present being practised in Po land. He gave every credit to, her Majesty's Government for acting with the very best desires for the welfare and peace of Europe; but, at the same time, he could not help hoping that something of a more positive character would be done, and concluded by asking for 591315 information on the subject. Earl RUSSELL said on Wednesday last a despatch left London for St Petersburg, and when replies had been re ceived to it her Majesty's Government would lay the whole of the papers before the house.' Lord BROUGHAM expressed his regret at the atroci ties, but thought they were only such atrocities as were incident on civil war. Similar, if possible, more painful occurrences were happening on the other side the Atlantic, of which all Europe with one consent disapproved. THE BRAZILS. The Earl of MALMESBURY rose for the purpose of calling the attention of their lordships to the state of our relations with Brazil, and also to move an humble address to her Majesty for copies of any papers show ing on what ground the reduced demand for, com pensation from the Government of Brazils was assessed at the sum of £3,200 ; also for a copy of the despatch al luded to by Mr. Christie as having been written to the Brazilian Minister for Foreign Affairs, on the wreck of the Prince of Wales, and not publishei in the Brazilian papers. The noble earl said it appeared to him that this country could not at the present time allow an ambassador to withdraw from it with the plea that he had been unjustly treated, and it behoved the noble earl opposite to give some explanation of the cause of the circumstance in justification of the course pursued by her Majesty's Government. He had four charges to bring against the noble earl. The first was for making no allowance for the peculiar state of the country in which the event took place. Secondly, for having given such instructions, dictated by his own judg ment and his own responsibility, to his subordinates in Brazil ; thirdly, with not having exerted himself personally to settle the question, but leaving it entirely to be dis3ussed by means of cold official correspondence, and, fourthly, he charged the noble earl with ordering these reprisals, which, if justified, the manner in which they were exe cuted could not for a moment be supported. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.--This Day. The SPEAKER took the chair at a quarter after twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Great Eastern Railway (Additional Powers) and Great Northern Railway (Cheshire Lines). ALKALI WORKS REGISTRATION BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Mr. BRUCE entered into an explanation of the various provisions of the measure. The object of the bill is to compel the wore effectual condensation of muriatic acid gas in alkali works, which it appears from the general opinion of practical chemists, is eliminated in immense bodies from these works, and has provei most injurious to human life and destructive to vegetation of all kinds. An eminent inspector and sub-inspectors were proposed to be appoiLted to visit works, and manufacturers not complying with the behests of the bill would be prosecuted at quarter sessions, and heavy penalties imposed on proprietors and workmen as well. The bill, it may be recollected, originated with the Earl of Derby, and has already received the approbation of the House of Lords. Mr. VIVIAN explained the large interests identified with the production of alkali and the various manufactures with which it was interested, and trusted all parties would be permitted ample means of appeal against what they might consider unjust prosecutions. Mr. BOUVERIE deprecated the interference with trade proposed by the bill, and believed it would have been better to have strengthened the common law, which he considered ample for every purpose. Besides, the manufacturers had of their own option adopted every means which science could suggest for mitigating the evils incidental to their pursuits. At a future stage he should propose that the operation of the bill be limited to a certain number of years, so that it might soon come again under the review of the house. Lord STANLEY said the owners of land in the neigh bourhood of large manufacturing towns had great reason to complain, because the vegetation was being destroyed to a greater extent every year. The law was not, at present, equal to the emergency. Mr. HEADL AM intimated that the great body of the manufacturers, to their credit, were not opposed to the bill, and thus all their reasonable requirements should be ac ceded to. Mr. HENLEY considered quarter sessions the very worst court to decide in such cases. Lord STANLEY said probably it would be well to sub stitute county courts for quarter sessions. The various clauses were then proceeded with, and seve ral verbal amendments introduced. Mr. PULLER proposed an addition to clause 4 to the effect that masters would not be responsible for ithe un authorised and unjustifiable acts of their workmen, who should be alone responsible. Mr. VIVIAN said he had placed in the paper making the owner of mills liable in the first instance. Mr. BRUCE recommended the hon. member to with draw the amendment, so that its purpose might be embo died in a special clause. This was accordingly done and the clause adopted. On the motion of Mr. P ULLEN, the following insertion in clause 5 was agred to :—" And if any alkali work is carried on in contravention of this section, the owner thereof shall, on conviction, be deemed guilty of an offence against this act, and shall be subject to a penalty of not more than five pounds for every day during which such work shall have been so carried on." Clauses up to 11 were agreed to with amendments. On clause 12, which relates to prosecutions being taken to the quarter sessions, it was suggested by Mr. BOUGHT that the county courts should be instituted, and he moved that the chairman report progress in order to give the Go vernment time to consider the subject. Mr. COBDEN said unless the amendments proposed by the trade, so as to make the bill palatable, were adopted, the bill would have to encounter severe opposition. Sir G. GREY intimated a desire on the part of the Government to meet all the reasonable requirements of the trade. There would be no objection on the part of the Go vernment to assent to the right of appeal. Mr. BRIGHT withdrew his amendment. Ultimately the committee divided on the clause, when there appeared— For the clause II l Against Majority —44 The clause was therefore adopted. On clause 13, Mr. VIVIAN proposed an addition to the effect that owners of mills should be liable, in the first instance, pre liminary to the punishment of culpable wcrkpeople. The clause was copied verbatim from the Factory Act. Mr. PULLER declared that the proposition would be inoperative. Mr. BRUCE supported the clause.

The number of letters which passed between England and Franca in 1851, was 2,495,375, and in 1862, 6,175,181, an increase in eleven years of 14S per cent ; and the increased number of foreigners who visited London, but of which there is no official record, may be estimated by the numbers who visited the Dockyard and Arsenal at Woolwich, which were 437 only in 1851, and 9,295 in 1862. PROGRESS OF POPULATION IN ENGLAND.—In the year 1862, the excess of births over deaths in Great Britain amounted to 315,156. The deaths were rather .more than 50i1,000 ; the births exceeJed 800,000.

The supply of English wheat on sale here to-day was very moderate. A few parcels were taken for export by French buyers, and the trade ruled firm at the full prices of Monday last. The show of samples of foreign wheat was large. Ame rican wheats, which were inquired for by French buyers, were held at extreme rates, Other descriptions Hilly sup ported Monday's currency, and a good retail business was transacted. Floating cargoes of grain moved off steadily, at full quo tations. The supply of barley, both English and foreign, was very small, and the trade ruled firm at very full prices. Malt commanded but little attention, at late rates. The supply of oats was very large, and the trade ruled heavy, at a reduction in prices of 6d per quarter. Beans and peas, the supplies of which were small, com manded fully the prices of Monday. Most kinds of flour were in fair request, at full cur rencies. Barrels were in limited demand for export to France. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout. 84c) 1 ; 2 ' 26° 370 4lO 1 —5 0, 21 06 u ........ .10,270 16,270 brig.
