BOW - STREET.—DISGRACEPUL CONDUCT OF GEN TLEMEN.-Mr Litton Wilson, who said he was a barrister at law, and Mr David Sutton, were charged before Mr Flowers with being drunk and disorderly, and assaulting Mr Brett, proprietor of the Pamphilon Coffeehouse, Bridges street, Covent-garden. It appeared from the statement of the complainant that on the previous evening the two defendants went into the coffeehouse and ordered some steak and kidneys, It was not then observed that they were under the influence of liquor, and the order was therefore executed. Before five minutes had elapsed, however, and when the cooking was nearly finished, they commenced making a disturbance, and said they would not have the refreshments which they had ordered. Mr Brett was called to them, and he demanded payment for the order, at the same time closing the door to prevent them leaving, and directing one of his servants to call in a police constable. They then struck at the defen dant, and knocked him down in one of the partitions of the coffeeroom. Complainant endeavoured to save himself by injured his eye by coming i n t o f orc ibl e co lli s i on w ith a ra il, struggleAseigzienngerWalilsonB Coat, u p on w hi ch t h e l atter f ell also, and took place, and the complainant was considerably bruised, and even after the arrival of the police officer Wilson aimed a blow at the 3arnplainant, which the constable averted. Mr Flowers, after commenting upon the disgraceful con. duct of the defendants, fined Wilson 408 and Sutton 20s. The fines were paid. MARYLEBONE.--CRUELTY TJ ANlMALS,—Frederick Roy, a butler, was charged with cruelty to a cat. It appeared that the defendant set his dog at the cat, which was worried to death. He afterwards said that what he had done did not bring him within the act, as it was only a cat he had killed. The Magistrate said the defendant must disabuse his mind of that idea, for any cruelty inflicted upon cats ren dered the party or parties aiding and abetting that cruelty to punishment under the act. The accused must pay a penalty of 10s, or in default be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for 14 days. • The fine was paid.

CLERKENNV ELL.— FRACAS BETWEEN BETTING MEN —Frederick Mattan, an auctioneer, was charged before Mr D'Eyncourt with having assaulted Robert Grinder, a car penter, The complainant said—On Monday, the 27th of June, I was at the Compasses public-house, Hornsey. Defendant was there at the bar drinking. I asked him when he was going to Mr Welch's to settle our account. I had made a bet with him on the Derby, and he now owes me £l4. He 7a 6d I held of his in the sweep at Mr Welch's. I said I w ou ld sta k e hi s b rot h er ' s said when I paid his brother £2 money if he si ould stake mine, or if he would give me a bill at three months. I said if you don't agree to that I shall think you don't mean paying. Ile made some remark, and I said, "If you do mean paying like an honest man why don't you go and pay my brother-in-law's account at Ep som," He said, "I do not owe the money," I said " You do." He then said, "If you say so again I shall punch you." I said he did owe me the money, and he immediately hit me two violent blows in the mouth and knocked me against the counter. Blood flowed from my mouth, my lip was badly cut inside, and I felt blood rush to my head. I felt very ill after, and could not sleep all night, I am subject to fits, but have lately felt much better ; bu t immediately after the blow I felt a fit was coming on, and in less than 24 hours after the assault I had a fit worse than I ever had before. I was not able to work the follow ing day. A constable picked me up in the street whilst I was under the fit. This statement haying been confirmed by two witnesses, The defendant said be could not deny that he had struck the complainant, or that he owed him some money arising out of betting transactions. That money he was ready to pay as soon as the complainant settled with his (defendant's) brother. The complainant—l only owe him £2, and you owe me £l4. Mr D'Eyncourt said an assault had been committed, and ordered defendant to pay a fine of £2 and costs, or in default to be imprisoned for 21 days. CHARGE OF ASSAULT.—Ann Buns, 18, a servant, was charged with assaulting Francis John Eadie, a clerk, re siding at Stock Orchard-crescent, Holloway. The complainant said he was a clerk to his father, a leather salesman. On the previous day he was in the stable when the defendant came in and demanded some money. He told her that he had not got it, but that if she went over to his father's house he would give it to her. She then shut the stable door, rushed at him, ill-used him, and he was afraid that she was going to kill him, as she had threatened to shoot him. In cross-examination the complainant said that the de• fendant had been servant to his father. She had had a child, which she said was his; and he had given her money because he was afraid that his father would know. She had lent him money, but it was not for the purpose of get ting a marriage license. She might say that he had pro mised her marriage, but he was not quite certain whether he had or not. Mr D'Eyncourt (to the defendant)—lf you have any claims on the complainant you must not go to his house and annoy him. Will you promise not to annoy him any more ? Defendant—l will. Mr D'Eyncourt—K eep away from him; you are now discharged.

YELVERTON (OR LONGWORTH). Mr Rolt, Q.C., finished his reply on the part of the ap pellant (Major Yelverten), and at its conclusion Their lordships reserved their decision. COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before th&Lords Jus ices KNIGHT Bnucu and TURNER.) HUTTON V. BEETON AND 1101 , 1URRAY—BEETON V. WMUR RAY AND HUTTON. This was an appeal from a decision of the Vico Chancel lor Stuart. The substantial question in the case related to the proprie torship of the newspapers called the Sporting Life, the Eclipse, and the Sporting Telegraph. Of th ese news p a p ers the plaintiff Beeton was conceded to be the owner of a moiety, and he claimed by his bill specific performance of an agreement on the part of Hutton and M'Murray to sell to him the other moiety. Hutton's bill asked for a dissolu tion of the partnership alleged to exist between him and Beeton, and for a receiver to carry on the partnership busi ness and receive the outstanding assets. His Honour dis missed Hutton's bill with costs, and granted to Beeton a decree for specific performance. Against this decision the appeal was made. The Attorney-General, Mr Bacon, Q.C., and T. H. Terrell appeared for Hutton; Sir H. Cairns and Mr Swan ston for M'Murray; and Mr Melina, Q.C., and Mr liars lake for Beeton. Their Lordships reversed the decision of the Vice Chan cellor and directed a decree to be drawn up in pursuance of the prayer of Hutton's bill. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURTS, JULY 7. (Before Vice-Chancellor WOOD.) BOUCICAULT V. DELAFIELD. Mr Graham Hastings moved that the plaintiff might pay to the defendant defendant's costs of suit incurred subse quent to defendant's bankruptcy, by analogy to the cases at law, where, if a plaintiff lost the verdict after his bank ruptcy, the costs were not provable, and were not barred. Mr Dickinson opposed the application. The Vice-Chancellor said that as the case in equity in favour of the application had been cited, he should refuse to make a precedent, and refused the motion. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before the Judge-Ordinary and a Special Jury.) SALT V. SALE. The Quecn's Advocate and Dr. Spinks were for the plaintiff—Mr. Manisty, Q.C., and Dr. Wambey for the next of kin. The plaintiff propounded the will of her late husband, William Salt, of the firm of Salt, Stevenson, and Salt, bankers, in Lombard-street. The testator died Deo. 6 of last year, leaving behind him a testamentary paper, the sub ject of this suit, dated that day. He had been taken ill that morning, which was Sunday, in church; and on being put to bed he called for pen and paper and dictated to his wife, "All my property to my wife." He signed it in the pre sence of two witnesses, servants, and desired them to sign before him. They, however, were ministering to his wants, and omitted to do so. In less than a quarter of an hour the doctor came, found the testator dead, and the paper un signed. On his learning the facts he suggested that they should sign then, and they did so in the room where the body was. Dr. Walsh, the physician, was called, and stated that he had found the testator dead. It should be remarked that, under a farmer will, made directly after the marriage in 1857, the plaintiff took an annuity of £l3OO. and was left residuary legatee, which was worth at that time £lO,OOO more; whereas at present, owing to the testator having invested money in land, the residue amounted to nothing. The Court directed the jury that the signatures of the witnesses were informal, and that, however they might sympathise with the rare disinterestedness of the plaintiff, they must find for the defendant, The jury found accordingly, and the Court pronounced against the will, costs to come out of the estate. (Before the Judge-Ordinary and a Common Jury.) YOUNG V. YOUNG AND HEATIICOTE. Dr. Swabey and Mr Inderwick for the petitioner. The co-respondent is dead. The parties were married in June, 1855, at Trinity Church, Marylebone. The peti tioner was an officer in the army—the respondent, then Jane Jackson, occupied an inferior position. He sold out in 1856. At the end of 1861 he went to Brussels, leaving his wife in England, and he next heard of her from Algiers. On her return, in the following year, he made her an allowance of eight guineas a month, and this pay ment continued till March of last year. The petitioner at that time, from information he received, stopped it, and instituted this suit. A policeman alleged that he had often seen the peti tioner at " Kate Hamilton's" and similar places, and that her associates were of a low dt scription ; and further evi dence was given that in Belasco v. Heathcote, in the Ex chequer, she had confessed to living with the co-respondent in the country. After the Court had summed up, the jury, thinking the evidence unsatisfactory, found for the respondent. JULY 8. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury,) GIBSON AND ANOTHER V. PEGLER. Mr Coleridge, Q.C., and Dr Spinks appeared for the plaintiffs; M Edward James, Q.C., and Dr Swabey for defendant. The plaintiffs propounded the will of Walter Gabriel Bassett Gunton, dated Jan. 16 of the present year. The defendant pleaded undue influence, incapacity, and fraud. The testator had been a wholesale chemist in the Borough, and on his retiring from that business he bought a house at Southall, near Guildford, where he was living at the time of his death, the 18th of January last. The property amounts to £lO,OOO in real property, and £14,000 in personal property. The defendant was living with Gunton, her brother, at Bonchurch, in 1861. They disagreed, and in that year she went away and did not return. Mrs Gill, one of the plaintiffs, in 1862, undertook the management of the house at Southall, and did so up to testator's death, and the other plaintiff, Gibson, was on intir, iate terms. He was summoned by telegram to Guild& or d i n January last, and he immediately received instr actions to prepare a new will i n th e place of one already made in 1858. The will was written out by hire., and in it the plaintiffs were left residuary legatees, whereas in the former will the defendant chiefly benefited. The plaintiffs take £12,000 under the will now propounded, and the de fendant £6,000. It was attested by Mr Sadler, a medical man, and a tenant named Freebody. Dr. Guy's Ho sp i tal, had been present at the testator's tonillksas; of il iness, and he gave evidence of his full mental capacity. _ . - The Court, after hearing the evidence of the plaintiff and the medical witness, asked if the defence could carry the case any further, and the jur3 found for the plaintiffs. Mr James addressed the Court on the subject of costs, but t h e learned judge pronounced for the will with costs. SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—A question vastly more simple than the , general character of the Debate would seem to imply has been settled by a division happily more decisive that we had been led to expect. In a very full House, a majority of 18—just twice as large as the majority the other way in the Lords—has vindicated toe intentions and indemnified the failures of her Majesty's Government. In the course of a debate which has exhausted every conceivable fact, every argument, and every mode of treatment, " from grave to gay, from lively to severe," it is some satis faction to find that nobody has ventured to impeach the motives and temper of the Cabinet. It has not entered into the head of either honest foe or candid friend to insinuate that Lord Palmerston and Lord Russell have had any other object in view than " righteousness and peace"—that Denmark, as we have known it for ages, should still be Denmark; and that there should be no appeal to arms. They have been put on their trial, not for any sin of in. tention, not even for want of diligence, for indiffer ence, for carelessness, or any of the secondary faults said to be more mischievous than the cardinal vices, but merely for failure. Had the members of the Cabinet been so many simple-hearted missionaries put on their trial by their savage converts for the failure of the fishery and the potato crop which they had prayed for in vain, they would have received much the same sort of trial as that just witnessed in the precincts of Westminster-hall. Had Govern ment—not this Government or that, but any Go vernment since 1848—done nothing at all, but let the mischief take its course, we presume that would have escaped censure. Had the present Cabinet, on taking office, consulted the family lawyer, and re solved to repudiate the datnnosa hereditas of the Schleswig-Holstein negotiation, that, too, would have accorded with the views of most of their present accusers. Had they threatened war, and fuifulled heir threat, then they would have come under that popular definition of the English gentleman's duty, which consists in meddling with your neighbour's af fairs because you are ready to fight him. Nay, if they had tried, but suffered another sort of failure • if they had landed on the Danish peninsula and sai led into Ihe Baltic, single-handed, in order to make their word as good as their deed, but had lost as much as we did in the Crimean war, without even that paste able amount of success, then a respectable majority of the House of Commons would have been ready to do fall justice to the honest intentions and generous spirit which had impoverished England, filled her homes with mourning, and ruined Denmark into the bargain. But the coarse actually taken had no redeeming grace in the eyes of the gentlemen who have constituted themselves protectors of the public interests and guardians of the national honour. The monster indictment has pursued the delinquents not only through every act and word of their own offi cial lives, but also the whole of the previous trans actions followed up by them and presumably adopted. It has searched into the remotest acts of their former and non-official life. It has done every thing but charge upon them what they ought to have done. As the subject, was the most complex it was rossible to imagine, it had to be met with a variety of treatment adapted to each part of the case. But as everything has failed, so everything has been wrong, and the error is as multiform as the case. It was first attempted to settle the diffi culty by the solemn concurrence of the great Euro. pean Powers, including the two that claim to speak and act for Germany. That has not answered, and was therefore wrong. It was attempted to change the law of succession in Denmark, so as to bring the three States under the same dynasty in future. That failed, and was therefore wrong. As the three States would not amalgamate, it was attempted to create three constitutions under one sovereign, with provision for their harmonious action. This failed, and was therefore wrong. But one error only succeeded another in a case where all interference was assumed to be wrong, whether into the self- government of a State or its relatione with its neighlnurs. To decline to enter a Con grtgs upon all the past difficulties and possible wars of Europe was wrong ; and it was not less wrong to propose a Conference with a view to the solution of an existing difficulty and the stopping of actual bloodshed. It was wrong to propose a new boundary ; it had been wrong to unite, so it was wrong to dismember; it was wrong to stand out, and wrong to give way ; it was wrong to pro pose an arbitration ; it was wrong to encourage to resistance, and wrong to advise concession ; it was wrong to prepare for giving material assistance, and then wrong not to assist. The eventual failure brands every stags of the proceeding. A struggle of unexampled versatility between two large and wealthy States, all powerful on land and a small and poor State, subsisting by its humble maritime resources, and dealing with a political entangle ment surpassing all that is known of border cliff• colties, presented a good many new situations, each of which had to be met in its own fashion. This change of ground was itself a crime, or worse than a crime, for it did not answer. What are we to say of the morality of an accusation which assumes all failure to be wrong? It has not once been even hinted that any mixed motive interfered with the simple benevolence of this friendly intervention. Faults of manner have been ascribed to it; it has been called fussy, pragmatical, " meddling and muddling," and a good deal more; but there has not been a suspicion of malice, or self-interest, or jealousy, or reversge, or any of the feelings apt to prompt grathitous interference. Had there been any such motive, and had the Cabinet been beaten in a policy which promised some advantage, the world would have lorgiven a bad speculation. The crime in this case has been pure and simple peace making—about as successful as peacemaking usually is on any seals, great or small. Had Parliament really pronounced a stigma on such a course, it cer tainly would have put itself in collision with ant ho rides end traditions which England is accustomed to venerate. Fortunate as we are in our own unex ampled unity and peace, it is not an amiable weak ness, but a legitimate inference from our own expe rience, that prompts us to communicate these bles sings to our neighbour& by every persuasion, and at any sacrifice. There was not even novelty in the task in this instance. We were not proposing to constitute a new State—to make another Denmark, either large or less, or of fresh materials. We were simply labouring to keepDanmark as much as pos sible as it wan,and we have failed,—failed for the present, and for that failure Government has been put on its trial this week. Happily for the sake of Peace, the. verdict has been on the side of honesty and good intention, though not gilded by success; and England, we trust, will not be compelled to desist from her function as a kind and honest peace maker. POST.—About two o'clock this morning the two Houses of Parliament divided almost simultaneously on a vote of want of confidence in the Government. In the House of Lords Ministers were put in a minority of nine; in the House of Commons they commanded a majority of 18. In the House of Lords 123 out of 242 peers presentvoted with the Govern ment, the balance, 119, giving their votes in favour of Lord Malmesbury's address. Of the proxies, 45 were given to the Government and 58 to the Oppo sition. In the House of Commons 295 members voted in favour of Mr. Disraeli's address, and 313 against it. With this result the Ministry have reason to be satisfied. No majority in the Upper House would have counterbalanced the smallest minority in the Lower one, and the substantial ma jority given to the Government in the House of Commons must be accepted as the decision of the country. That Ministers would be victorious in the House of Commons no one entertained a doubt ; it was only in respect to the numbers of the ma jority that a diversity of opinion existed. It is by the people of the country, through their elective repre sentatives, that a Government must be judged, and by their verdict it must stand or fall. 'I he appeal has now been made, and by the result, as shown in the division lists this morning, the Ministry are wil liog to abide. To the general tenor of the most re markable debate which for many years has taken place in the House of Commons we will only briefly alityle. It was a great party contest. Each side summoned forth all its strength, and fought bravely, and, we would say, fairly, for the prize of victory. The debate was warm, and at times up pu ched to fever heat; but if it had not done so lit w ould have been unworthy to rank beside those Parliamentary contests to which the present g g e re n a e t r , a - tion - ooks back with pride.

I the lips of an opponent, called him to order, he for got that expressions no less strong had been used , by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and had been repeated by himself. The Speaker, with great judgment, declined to interpose on either omit:ion, and his discretion entitles him to the thanks of the House. The English House of Parliament has wit nessed many stormy debates; and, in the interests of the country, we hope it will witness many more. Nothing would be more intolerable to the feelings of Englishmen than to see established in either house that censorship in respect to language which is so constantly exercised in the French Chambers. It is of the very essence of our constitution that there should he two factions in the State, and when these factions come in collision it ie natural to ex pect that heavy blows should be interchanged. But, measured by those precedents with which Hansard is filled, the debate which has now come to a close is, we think, notable no less for the mode ration than for the ability exhibited by those who took part in it. It seems natural to the human mind to exaggerate in respect to matters beyond its ken, and it has always been the habit of an existing generation to regret the glories of those which have preceded it. But we doubt if a keener or more ably conducted contest was ever waged within the walls of the House of Commons in the time of the younger Pitt or of Canning than that which resulted at an early hour this morning in the defeat of the Opposition. The eloquence of Gladstone, the sarcasm of Disraeli, the studied des clamations of Horsman, the humour of Osborne, the, taunts and raillery of Hardy, and the calm self• reliance of Palmerston, not to mention the ability evinced by the: many other skilful debaters who gave their voices as well as their votes to theft' party, must surely lead even those inveterate praisers of the " good old times " to reconsider the judgment which it is their habit to pass upon the epoch in which they live. The debate on the foreign policy of the English Government in connection with the Deno-German war must, and will always, hold a remarkable place in the annals of our Parliamentary history. Now that tellers have made their obei sances to the Speaker, and declared the result of the division, let us consider how far that result may be considered as expressive of the opinion of the country. The prospect of the dismemberment, if not the an nihilation, of Denmark has unquestionably made a very strong impression upon the ,nation, and led it almost unconsciously to regard with disfavour those to whom it has now for five years entrusted the conduct of its affairs. And the feeling was further increased by the circumstance that, whether rightly or wrongly, many chose to believe that England was bound to give material assistance to her unfor tunate ally. The tone adopted by the Government in the earlier stages of the dispute between Denmark and Germany was unfortunately not of a nature to dispel this idea, and when fully it became known that in any event England would do nothing to avert the destruction which threatened Denmark, the nation experienced a sense of disappointment not nnmingled with shame. The English, as a people, are peculiarly sensitive in respect to the ful filment of obligations, and the insinuation that they failed in their duty to a small State which relied on their good offices and national assistance caused no little irritation. Not that England was desirous of going to war, but that having been told by every one about her that she ought to have gone to war, she wanted to know how it was that she remained at peace. It was in this frame of mind that the nation watched the debate of the past week. But before the indictment against the Government had been read through by those who prepared it, it be came manifest that, no matter in whose hands the administration of the State lay, this country would have pursued a peaceful policy, and no matter to whose hands it should be entrusted, the policy would remain the same. But when once the supposed en• gagement to afford Denmark material assistance was disposed of, the sole question which remained was, whether the country would prefer being governed by those who at present occupy the Treasury benches, or by those who sit on the other side of the Speaker's chair. On this point we consider that the vote of last night is decisive. Owing to circum stances which are notoriously foreign to the point at issue, the majority in favour of the Government was not considerable; but still the fact that under those circumstances the Government did command a majority is a convincing proof that, in the mines of the people of Great Britain at least, Lord Pal- merston and his callecgues are the men best fitted to goverc the State. HERALD.—Lord Palmerston gave his defence last night, in a house that thundered with ewhusiaent. It followed a full debate, in which Mr. Osborne end Mr. Walpole acted with effect the leAding parts, and it han with a double falsification—that Lord Russell C p ad been selected as a special mark for slander, and that the national name had been vili fied and trodden into dust by the Conservative party. The Premier is a master of magnificent commonplaces. He can always secure a cheer by a loud and lofty appeal to the clap-trap patriotism of benches occupied by men who fear that other appeal which will bring them face to face with the constituencies. Commencing thus, he imme diately proceeded after the folio of encourage ments by Lord Russell, to prove that Denmark was as deeply in the wrong towards her Duchies as Holland was towards Belgium before the separa tion—a statement as utterly incompatible as any statement imaginable, with the subsequent indigna tion of the British Foreign Secretary. Certainly, however, Lord Palmerston was the only member of the Government, Mr Gladstone not excepted, who proved himself capable of even a plausibility in re ply to Mr Disraeli, and although his explanation of the now infamous phrase " Denmark shall not stand alone," excited laughter, it was at _least more respec table and original than the audacities of Mr Layard and the Chancellor of the Exchequer. He coloured the policy of the Government with considerable artistic skill, and was strong in his challenge to the votes of the Whig faction, taking care to divide the responsibility of all that happened among the lead ing Powers of Europe, and insinuating that Minis ters never designed or promised to act alone. Fall ing back on the case of Poland, he felt his way, first in the track of Mr Horsman, then, in that of Mr Cobden, as if the question was simply one of peace or war, and next treating the proposal of a Congress by France as a show of insanity. The country will not care to pursue the First Lord very minutely through his analysis of French motives or objects, for its interest is concentrated on the part which England has taken throughout these trans actions ; but the speech became important when it dealt with the position of Great Britain re latively to the other Powers of Europe, because that problem has for us, in its solution, a terrible significance. It declared to the house that Eng land had acted in concert with the other Govern. rrents from the outset until now, with a view alone to preserve the peace of the world, and it gave a singular history, adroit and picturesque, in the Premier's unique manner, of the transactions which he and his colleagues have been so perilously forced to defend. The question, Lord Palmerston affirms, had been reduced before he proposed arbitration to a narrow difference between two frontiers —and he pleads not guilty to the failure of an attempt which, he boasts, had it succeeded, would have deserved the approbation of all man kind. He accused Mr Disraeli of having far. ratted out extracts from the blue book, in order to debate an European interest in a party spirit. He asked, what is the use of English influence if Eng land is never to interfere, thus applying himself to an issue which was never raised, - at all events by Mr Disraeli. He brought forth the antique to k about the balance of power and the rights of weak states, until he seemed to be listening to the echoes of 1850, with Roman citizenship in the foreground. In fact, the placid statesman, making himself out to be a political warrior who had campaigned triumph antly in the four quarters of the world, and who meets every allegation, however elaborately sup ported by evidence, with " I deny it," designates as a libel the statement that the just influence of Eng land has been diminished. We think the public, ig,:e morti fi - carefully examining his answer to the Opposition, will be compelled to regard it as a tissue of eta tt Pl . sophisms. For example, begging the svh t ol e e q , 3 bLe i : Om) of a diplomacy at once futile, arroga and evasive, and pretending to despise a 't n ilef d the spatches which have been so calam nd s cience, without protocols which have merely recor . cations, wealth, literature, a . why our authority sted , prostituted, an ex _ pointing a s l y v l e l a b a l i e v t o ri ift.chiiqeuheAe disastrous:said n I:l3wrranetaidcoan:hwaie)srdobbteae:: been in Europe has been so wa ste d, lis ust ed. ourselves, if attacked ; , increased commerce ; we have successful at home, d reduced taxation an llntruth, except the very thing a t aid has not been done—upheld the honour of the nation on the Continent of Europe. d whi e c ln e l r r y Disraeli . point in Lord P a l merston ' s case I wast wea k that bethe soug ht the er cheers of his party upon topics utterly irrelevant to the subject of debate.

The blue book; • is a history of disgrace he is told, -e"; answers—the in come t ax ha s b een di ki Our name is blotted in the North, Imt it is radiant in the East, where the Inn deficit has bees mitigated. The Premier, however, rendered one service to history. He confesses that the Whigs in their Queen's Speeches have been romancing all the time they have been in office, and that words have every year been put into her Majesty's mouth which, at the best, conveyed no meaning, since the "friendly assurances" of foreign Powers annually announced from the Throne never were in reality exchanged. This, a very flimsy retort to a very cogent inquiry - , was but the pre lude to a mighty outburst of self-satisfaction, and a threat in which the constituencies of the Empire wore made to figure es the mere tools and instru ments of the Wnigs, the perpetual holders of effice and recipients of ungrateful emolument. The di vision took place amid intense excitemenr, notwith standing the egotism which thrust Mr Newdeg•nte with his abortive arnendrneut between the honee and its great purpose. A mjarity of eighteen sates Ministers, for the na.;ni-nt, from a dissolution —295 members voted mitt: Mr. asr , -,eli-313 ported the Cabinet. We cennit think this is a political Yie'ory. It is not a vote of cortfidenee. The Governrnt , nt hes escaped across the n3rroweat path, propped up by influences which have been exerted with a degree of pressure rarely exampled. How the result will be accepted by the country we cm with little difficulty anticipate ; but, at all events, it will long delay that appeal which must be made from a hooting and raving majority of e i g h teen to the constituencies and the nation at large.

The report, which was taken as read, after de= scribing the operations of the period, proceeded : " The chief cause that, it is feared, may possibly militate against the revenue when the accounts ere submitted at the annual general meeting, exists at present in the difficulty of realising sufficient stock in the colonies to meet the current expenses, and at the same time leave the proceeds of the wool clips free for a dividend; but on the other hand, whilst sheep remain unsold, the property owned by the company is increased, and may be counted on still further to multiply. The wool already mentioned as sold has realised satisfactory prices, and the pros• pects are good for the portion still to come forward. The land sales have been quite insignificant. The gold licenses produced the sum of £338.108 for the year ending Dec. 31, 1863. The cash in hand for wool sold amounts to £13,211 13s, bat from the causes before alluded to, the question arises as to how far the colonial expenses to 30th inst. may be met by further sales of stock ? In the face of the last advices, which describe a heavy market, with great difficulty in selling sheep, and bearing in mind that in the absence of sales an expenditure for 18 months will have to be met by the proceeds of one clip of wool, the directors consider the more prudent course will be to fix on a limited amount as an interim dividend on account of the profits which will be shown to have been realised when the ac counts are rendered at the next annual meeting. For this reason the directors now recommend that £9,000 be at present appropriated towards payment of a dividend on account, and that the same be de clared at the rate of 19 per cent. free of income tax, on the consolidated stock of the company, payable on and after 15th July next. The CHAIRMAN, in submitting the confirmatory Te solution, observed that the incidents referred to in the report were of a mixed character, but they bad had a satisfactory increase in lambing and a successful clip. The general health of the flocks was good, and notwithstanding that extraordinary floods had com mitted great devastation both in New South Wales and in Queensland, this company had escaped with• out any loss of importance either at the Peel River or the Ellengowrie stations. Still, owing to the extreme depression of the stock market, superin. tendents had not been able to make the customary sales of surplus stock. Owing to a long continuance of wet weather the sheep were suffering from lame ness, which was likely to increase their casualties, and the prevalence of scab in the neighbourllcod of Peel River was a cause of considerable anxiety. it was a matter of some grai;fieation that th e y could poiut out so many favourable features, and as to the drawbacks they were all more of a passive than an active character, and even surposing their sup,:rin tenth nt should have been unz,ble to di*o.se of the surplus stock before the 30th of June, the onl2,- con sequence would be that they would have so many more sheep and cattle to sell when the state of the stock market improved. No doubt the depression in the market came inopportunely upon them just es they were altering the period of closing the ac counts, and the result would tell the more unfavour• ably seeing that they would have with diminished sales to meet 18 months' expenditure which would come into the year's returns. The usual clip of wool had been successful both as to wcight of fleece and price obtained, and should the remaining bales brirg as high a price as those which had been al ready sold, the total produce from this source would be over £20,000. Under all the circumstances, and with such an extraordinary wet season, the rain having fallen more or less continuously for three weeks, he thought they might congratulate them selves that they had escaped so well. No new purchases of land had been made for the rea sons stated in the report, and consequently no de bentures (as authorised at the last meeting) had been issued. He might add that the directors would not consider any purchase of land advisable unless it paid the interest upon the debentures, and left a balance of profit over. The maintenanee of the customary dividend for the year would depend open the 15,000 wether sheep they had reared for market, upon the price obtained for them, and for the wool still in hand, and also upon the present year's clip ; but, under all the circumstances, he trusted they would accept the proposed interim dividend as sa tisfactory. The assets of the company in this country were—Cash in hand, £1,779 11s. Ild. ; East India Railway debentures, £6,000 ; Victoria Bonds, £3,741 10s. ; loan to London and West minster Bank, at 4 per cent., £12,000; loans upon English government securities, at 5 per cent., £2,000 ; total, £25,521 ls. 11d. Mr. EAGLE seconded the report, adding that the explanation of the chairman that the expense of 18 months' operations was included in the year's accounts in some measure lessened the sombre cha racter of the report. He hoped that the directors would exercise caution in extending their opera tions,eneeast.d by A SHAREHOLDER thought it and suggested th a t any f ur ther capital re quired for land pu rc h ases s h ou ld be t se preference stock rather than by deb entures.
