CITY, TWELVE o'CLocg. The 4th proximo has been appointed by the com mittee of the Stock Exchange for a special settle ment in the scrip of the Hudson's Bay Company, which is henceforward to be quoted in the official lists. It has been announced that the necessary con tracts for the entire construction of the Sardinian Railway have been entered into by Messrs. Waring Brothers, Messrs. Morton Peto, Betts, and Brassey, and Messrs. Crampton. The quotations for English copper have this day been advanced £3 per ton. The rise in yePow metal is ls. 4d. p r lb. The following are the pre sent prices —ordinary sheets, sheeting, and rod, £102; flit bottoms, £107; tough cake, tile, and ingot, £95; best selected, £9B. The bullion operations at 'the Bank yesterday comprised the influx of £34,000 in gold. During the last few days the operations in the Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have not been very extensive. Coffee, sugar, and tea have remained at about previous rates, while there has been an active demand for saltpetre at enhanced prices. Rice hss been dealt in to some extent, and considerable agitation has prevailed in the Tallow Market consequent upon the disturbances in Poland, a large speculative business having been trans acted. The commercial public are still enabled to supply their discount requirements on terms as low as 30 per cent., that being the quotations for the finer descriptions of mercantile paper. Two O'CLOCK. The Paris Three per Cent. Rentes, this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, opened at 67f. 20c., 67f. 15c.; firm. The official returns relating to the trade and navi gation of the United Kingdom for the six months ended the 30th June, have just been published, from which it appears that the total declared value of the exports for that period have amounted to £62,014,197, against £57,314,679 in the like period of 1862, showing an increase of £4,699,518. The increase is most perceptable in beer and ale, cotton manufactures, earthenware, haberdashery and mil linery, hard ware and cutlery, linen yarn, linen manufactures, and woollen worsted manufactures. The importation of the principal articles were larger, as regards raw cotton, hemp, leather manu factures, petroleum, provisions, and sheep and lambs' wool, coffee, unrefined sugar, tea, tobacco, and wine. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade for both entries inwards and the clearances out- Wards, while in the coasting trade there is also a slight improvement as regards both departments. A special meeting has been held to-day of the Natal Land and Colonization Company, at which it was unanimously agreed to confirm the resolu tions passed at the last meeting, for an increase of capital, by the issue of 14,000 new shares, of LlO each. The proprietors of the Grand Surrey Docks and Canal Company have held a meeting to consider the terms of agreement to be made with the Com mercial Dock Company for an amalgamation of the two undertakings, and for authorising an applica tion to Parliament for that purpose. Notwithstanding the general heaviness of the Stock Exchange Markets the Funds are firmer; indeed, transactions have taken place this morning at an advance of nearly 4 per cent., consequent upon a few speculative purchases. The quo tations still indicate strength, and are quoted 921 exactly for money and the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 924 93. A bargain in the Red 4ea Telagraph Annuities has taken place at 21. India Stock is 224; the 5 per Cent. Loan, 1081; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 107 ; and the Debentures are 100 ; Exchequer Bills are 3s. prem. The Foreign Market presents an unusually de pressed appearance, and extensive sales have been effected. The Confederate Loan, which is now 15 to 13 discount, has been 20 discount, and the dealers evince an indisposition to effect large operations in their hands on account of the very unfavourable advices from the seat of war.

The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have re mained without material change, except Great Lrtxemburg, which have advanced to 14k.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day, COURT OF BA.NKKUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Holroyi.) IN RE COLONEL WAUGH. To-day was appointed for hearing the application of this bankrupt to be discharged from custody. Mr. Roxburgh and Mr. Sargood appeared for the bank rupt. Mr. Roxburgh said this was an application made by Colonel Waugh for release from custody. The bankrupt, it will be remembered, was arrested at the suit of an execution creditor, and then detained at the suit of the official manager of the Eastern Banking Company for a sum of £50,030, on a promissory note, dated the 19th of November, 1856, payable at four months after date, and interest thereon, at the rate of £5 per cent, per annum, un til paid. The learned counsel said that the execution creditor had signed a discharge, and therefore it was unnecessary to say anything on that point, but he had to address himself to the detainer by the Eastern Banking Company. He stated that the capias was not issued until six years and six days after the date of the promissory note, but although that proceeding was issued so tar back as March last, they had never proceeded to a declaration, no doubt feeling that if they did so, the statute of limitation would be pleaded ; but as they had not done so, he had been debarred from having the question tried as to his liability, and except by the exercise of the power of the Court to water the discharge, the bankrupt would neces sarily remain in prison until the latter end of October, when he would come up for his last examination. He submitted it was a case in which the court had lull power to order the discharge, for the bankrupt was not in custody on any execution or judgment, but only on an affidavit made that £50,000 was due, at :d the bankrupt could not give bail to the extent of £lOO,OOO. He avowed on the part of the bankrupt that he did not shrink from the fullest inquiry, and denied that he had borrowed any money from the banker without ample security, which the company might have realised. He also urged that the health of the bankrupt would be most seriously affected by any longer incarceration. He then call d Mr. Wm. Jones, a physician, who gave evidence to that effect. Mr. C. E. Lewis then proceeded to address the Court in opposition on behalf of the Eastern Banking Company, but Mr. Roxburgh contended that Mr. Lewis had no locus standi, as the company was not a judgment or execution creditor. Hi, Honour concurred. Mr. Linklater then opposed for the assignees, and Mr. Roxburgh objected to his being heard, as the assignees were in no way parties to the detention of the bankrupt, as they were chosen long before the proceedings were taken by the bank, and they were not entitled to take up the opposition of an individual creditor. His Honour, however, held that, according to the prac tice of the Court in all cases where there were assignees, hey were always asked whether they had any objection ,o the release. Mr. Linklater then took an objection, on the ground that when a person was in custody under the order of a judge of a superior con, t this Com t would not order a release; the assignees, however, would not object if the bankrupt would give substantial bail not to leave the country, and to attend on all occasions when called upon until he pas- ed his last examination. He then called Col. Waugh with a view to show that the bankrupt had joined the bank as director without capital, rind that he had incurred a debt to the extent of £24,000, and he urged that the bankrupt ought not to be discharged until he had given a satisfactory account of this very sum of money, and also of some mines in Spain with which the bankrupt had been connected, and in which the creditors claimed an interest. Mr. Roxburgh complained of the statements by Mr, Linklater, which would go forth to the public without Colonel Waugh having any opportunity of answering; and he objected to a general examination of the bankrupt, which he could not be expected to be able to answer with out books or accounts. His Honour held that Mr. Linklater was entitled to examine any point which could affect the question of discharge. The examination of Colonel Waugh was then proceeded with. After a long discussion, his Honour refused to discharge the bankrupt without two sureties in £2,000 each, and him self in £4,000. He was taken back to prison. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. WESTMINSTER. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.—Henry Brayley, a rough-looking fellow, was placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged with stealing three coats and other articles of clothing, the property of Mr. Henry Lamer, builder, Chelsea. Charlotte Hatfield, servant to Mr. Lerner, said that yes terday evening the prisoner came to the side door of the house and asked if Mr. Lerner could give him a job. He was told to wait in the yard, which after a little while he did, and then came and knocked at the area door, and was again informed that it he wanted day work he must rernair. Shortly after that she saw the prisoner coming from a greenhouse with a bundle in his hand, and she knew that he must have been upstairs in some of the bedrooms. She stopped him, and found that he had two coats in th e bundle and some other wearing apparel, and had put a third coat on his back. The property had been safe only two minutes before in Mr. Lar ner's bed-room, and when prisoner found himself detected by the servant, he threw down the bundle, stripped off the other stolen coat, and then took to his heels. A policeman said that he was attracted by a noise of per sons in pursuit of the prisoner, and saw him running at full pace, calling out lustily, " Stop thief," and followed by others, who were also crying the same. As the prisoner was the foremost of those running, witness seized and se cured him, when accused endeavoured to persuade him that it was a mistake—that he (prisoner) was not a thief, but a person who had been robbed, but witness refused to let him go. Prisoner—l am guilty; it is no good denying it. Prisoner was remanded for a week. MARLBOROUGH•STREET. UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF FELONY.—John Chivers, a tailor, living at 19, Bridge-road, Belgrave-road, and who has been in the employ of Mr. Poole, tailor, of Savile-row, was charged before Mr. Trywhitt with stealing a purse with violence from the person of a poor woman named Ann Milage, residing at 14, County Terrace-street, New Kest road. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the accused. The prosecutrix said she was passing along Oxford-street towerds the Regent circus, and when between Woodstock street and the gates in Oxford-street she weat into a shop to buy her child a cake. On coming out of the shop the prisoner came up to her and struck her, and then walked away. He presently returned and made an attempt to strike her, and seized her I,urse, containing 3s. 6d., and ran off in the direction of the Regent-circus. She walked on, and when outside the Dolphin public• house, and when asking a young man standing there when the Atlas omnibus would come up, the prisoner came out of the public house and msde an attempt to strike her, but was prevented by the young man, and she then got a policeman and gave the pri soner in charge. _ Edward Thorne, a clerk, living in the Harrow-road, said that the female spoke to him about a Camberwell omnibus, and observing that she was crying, ho asked her the cause, and she said that she had been robbed by a man who had run away. While he was speaking to her, the prisoner, whom he had seen with another person in the public-house, came out, and the woman having said something to him, the prisoner tried to strike her, but he (witness) prevented him. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate on behalf of the accused, stating that on seeing a female crying he came out of the public-house to see the cause, when the woman pointed him out immediately as the person who had robbed her, and he then naturally felt very indignant at the charge made against him, he being a respectable man. Mr. Lewis then called a person named Smyles, in the employ of Mr. Poole, who said that he was in the public house with the accused, having gone into the house from the direction of the Regent-circus, and having never lost sight of the accused for some time before the time the pro secutrix stated the robbery took place. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he had no doubt the poor woman had been robbed, but he believed she had made a mistake in the person, and he should therefore discharge the accused. The accused then left with bis friends. EMBEZZLEMENT AND ROBBERY.—John Fry, groom to Mr. Philip Augustus Barnard, artist and lithographer, 131, Regent-street, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with em bezzling money received on account of his master, and also with stealing a saddle, bridle, and a quantity of other pro perty belonging to his master, of the value of B. Mr. Barnard said the prisoner was in his employ as groom, and decamped on Saturday last, and after he had gone he (Mr. Bernard) missed a quantity of property, consisting of a saddle, a macintosh, and other articles, and also a gas illumination star. He also proved that the prisoner had re ceived some money on his account, and had never accounted for the same. Randall, 388 K, went to the Wheatsheaf Tavern, Par son's-green, Fulham, and took the prisoner into custody, who refused to say where he was lodging. He believed, if the prisoner was remanded, he !mould be able to trace some of the property. Mr, Tyrwhat remanded the prisoner till Thursday. A SUPERANNUAMD POST-CIIAISE.—It was a post-elmise taken oil its exletree and whee!s, and plumped down on the clayey soil among a ragged growth of vegetables. It was a post-chaise not even set straight upon the ground, but tilted over as if it had fallen out of a balloon. It was a post chaise that had been a long time in those decayed circurnstaLces, and against which scarlet beans were trained. It was a post-chaise patched and mended with old tea-trays, or with scraps of iron that looked like them, and boarded up as to the windows, but having a knocker on the off-side door. Whether it was a post-chaise used as tool-house, summer-house, or dwelling-house, I could not discover, for there was nobody at home at the post-chaise when I knocked, but it was cer tainly used for something, and locked up. In the wonder of this discovery, I walked round and round the post-chaise many Utiles, and sat down by the post-chaise, waiting for further elucidation. Nom: came.—,Dickens's 66 .da tice Year 40014,, Mr. Glaisher's Thirteenth Balloon Ascent, TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—Mr. Coxwell having informed me that he intended to ascend from the Crystal Palace on Tues day, July 21, and the weather having changed so that rain was falling and the wind rising, I availed myself of the opportunity to investigate some points on the formation of rain in the clouds them selves and its precipitation. My principal objects may be stated to have been 1. To determine whether there was another stra tum of cloud above that from which the rain was falling, to confirm the accuracy of Mr. Green's de ductions relative to rain —viz., " That whenever fall of rain happens, and the sky is entirely over cast, there will invariably be found to exist another stratum of cloud at a certain elevation above the former." 2. To examine the size of the drops of rain at dU• ferent elevqions, as from all results hitherto ob tained the amount of rain collected in a gauge placed near the surface of the earth is larger than in any gauge placed above it, and that the higher the guage be placed the less water is collected. 3. To determine the temperature of the dew point in its relation to that of the air below, in, and above the clouds, &c. e left the earth at 4h. 52m. pan. In 10 secF. we wera in a mist, and in 20 seconds on a level with the clouds. At 4h. 53w. the earth was out of sigh - . At this time we were 1,200 ft. high. At 4h. 58w., at the height of 2,209 ft., we passed out of thin rain. When at 2,500 ft., the clouds surround ing us were very white, and it was with difficulty I read those thermometers which had ivory scales. At 5:1. 4m. we passed above the clouds, and saw at a considerable distance above us another stratum of darker cloud. Presently the docks were visible through a break in the lower clouds. At sh. 7m. we saw clouds below us moving in a different direction to that or the balloon, and those near the earth with great rapidity. We then began to descend, and at sn. 113 m., at the height of 1,100 feet, scud was below, and the earth was visible with rain falling fast upon it, though none was falling upon the balloon. We then ascended, and at sh' 20m. ware 3,500 feet high, but still below the higher stratum of cloud ; at sh. 22m., at 2,700 feet high, we entered a dry fog; the grapnel, hanging by a rope about 100 feet in length, was just visible ; at 2,600 feet we were in a wet fog ; at 2,000 feet very fine drops of rain were falling; the clouds be neath were black ; at sh. 28m. a thick mist sur rounded us, and the grapnel was scarcely visible ; at sh. 30m. we were in a dense fog. At sb. 31w. we saw Epping Forest, and heard the noise the rain made falling on the trees 1,000 feet below us; at sh. 33m. we again lost sight of the earth, and two minutes afterwards could see only a small portion of the grapnel line; at sh. 37m. we saw an open country, and then were enveloped in mist, and three minutes afterwards we descended to the earth in a squall of wind and rain, the grapnel catching on the bank of a piece of water, and landed with out breaking a single instrument. From the existence of the two strata of clouds it would seem to be an established fact that whenever rain is falling from an overcast sky there is a second stratum above. Last year in the ascent on the Ist of September I was between two layers of cloud at the time rain was falling from the lower. These experiments, therefore, confirm the accuracy of Mr. Green's observations and deductions. It would also seem that when the sky is overcast a ithout rain that there is no stratum of cloud above, but that the sun is shining on the upper surface. In every instance in which I have been up under these circumstances, I have found such to be th e case, agreeing in this respect also with Mr. Gr een ' s observations. The temperature of the air before leaving was 61 1 deg. ; at the height of 1,000 feet it was 59 deg. ; it decreased to 54 deg. at 2,500 feet. We then de scended. At 2,000 feet the temperature was 55 deg., at 1,400 feet was 56 deg., increasing to 58 deg. at 700 feet. We then turned to ascend, and the tern perwure gradually decreased to 52 deg. at 3,000 feet, increased to 611 deg. on descending to 500 feet, decreased to 57 deg on ascending to 1,800 feet, and rose to 611 deg. on descending again to 500 feet, after which there was no change, and the tempera ture on the earth was 61/ deg. The temperature of the dew-point was half a de gree only below that of ti a air before starting ; i t was nearly 2 deg. lower on first entering the cloud ; then there was no difference between the two tem peratures while in the cloud, and the difference in creased to 3 deg. on passing above it. These obser vations were repeated, giving the same results on every occasion of ascent and descent. The s ze of the rain drops as they fell on my note book before starting was fully as large as a four- Penny piece ; they decreased in size on ascending, but our upward movement was too quick, and We soon passed out of rain. On descending from abov( the clouds we first encountered a dry, then a we't fog, passed into that which may be described as damp, air, or exceedingly fine rain, then experienced very fine but decided drops of rain like pins' points covering the note-book ; these increased in size on approaching the earth, but more rapidly when very near the earth. The drops of rain oil returning to the earth w ere as l arge as those n oted on leaving, and rain had b een f a lli ng h eav ily all the time we were in the balloon. The dire c ti on of the wind at the time of starting was S. by E . ; at the height of 2,200 ft., we f e ll in with a S.W. wind. A t sh. 7m,, a t the height of 2,3001 t., the clouds beneath moved with great velo city, and in a di rection different to that of t h e bal loon. At sh. 9m., at the height of 1,800 ft., we seemed to be going back ; certainly our direction was changed. A t sb. 33m. 30sec., at the he i ght o f about 1,000 ft. the pressure o f the W ind was felt against our faces, and then we changed direc tion, and again at sh. 3 7m., on rising at the height of I,looft. the wind Pressed strongly against the face, at both these times the balloon must have been in one current and the car in another, and they are the first instances in which I have been sensible of any wind in the balloon. At sh. 39w., at 800 ft. above the earth, we again changed our direction on entering the lower current, which was strong and gusty. Our place of descent wes about 25 miles, in a straight line from the Crystal Palace, performed in about 53 minutes. The horizontal movement of the air at Greenwich by Robinson's anemometer within the same inter val of time was about six miles. The place of descent was Claverhambury-farm, about five miles from Waltham Abbey, and we have to thank Mr. Shepherd for his kind assistance. We were accompanied by Captain Woodgate, Mr. F. Norris, of the Conservative Club, and Mr. Birk beck, of Reigate. —I am, sir, &c., Blackheath, July 23. JAMES GLAUBER. SECOND EDITION. SUN OFFICE, HALF -PAST 4 O'CLOCK.

The LORD CHANCELLOR then read HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, We are commanded by her Majesty to release you from further attendance in Parliament, and at the same time to convey to you her Majesty's ac knowledgments for the zeal and assiduity with which you have applied yourselves to the performance of your duties during the Session now brought to a close. Her Majesty has seen with deep regret the present condition of Poland. Her Majesty has been engaged, in concert' with the Emperor of the French and the Emperor of Austria, in negotia tions, the object of which has been to obtain the fulfilment of the stipulations of the Treaty of Vienna of 1815, in behalf of the Poles. Her Ma jesty trusts that those stipulations will be carried into execution, and that thus a conflict distressing to humanity and dangerous to the tranquillity of Europe may be brought to a close. The civil war between the Northern and South ern States of the North American Union still un fortunately continues, and is necessarily attended with much evil not only to the contending parties, but also to nations which have taken no part in the contest. Her Majesty, however, has seen no reason to depart from that strict neutrality which her Majesty has observed from the beginning of the contest. The Greek nation having chosen Prince William of Denmark for their King, her Majesty is taking steps with a view to the union of the lonian Islands to the Kingdom of Greece. For this purpose her Majesty is in communication with the Powers who were parties to the Treaty of 1815, by which those islands were placed under the protection of the British Crown ; and the wishes of the lonians on the subject of such union will be duly ascertained. Several barbarous outrages committed in Japan upon British subjects have rendered it necessary for her Majesty to demand reparation ; and her Majesty hopes that her demands will be conceded by the Japanese Government without its being ne cessary to resort to coercive measures to enforce them. The Emperor of Brazil has thought fit to break off his diplomatic relations with her Majesty in consequence of her Majesty not having complied with demands which she did not deem it possible to accede to. Htr Majesty has no wish that this estrangement should continue, and would be glad to see her relations with Brazil reestablished. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, Her Majesty commands us to convey to you her warm acknowledgments for the liberal supplies which you have granted for the service of the pre sent year, and towards the permanent defence of her Majesty's dockyards and arsenals ; and her Majesty commands us to thank you for the provi • sion you have made for the establishment of his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales. MY LORDS AND GENTLEMEN, The distress which the Civil War in North Ame rica has inflicted upon a portion of her Majesty's subjects in the manufacturing districts, and towards the relief of which such generous and munificent contributions have been made, has in some degree diminished, and her Majesty has given her cordial assent to measures calculated to have a beneficial influence upon that unfortunate state of things. Symptoms of a renewal of disturbance have manifested themselves in her Majesty's colony of New Zealand, but her Majesty trusts that by wise and conciliatory measures, supported by adequate means of repression, order and tranquillity will be maintained in that valuablo and improving colony. Her Majesty has given her assent to a measure for augmenting the income of a considerable number of small benefices, and she trusts that this mea sure will be conducive to the interests of the Esta blished Church. Her Majesty has given her assent to an Act for the revision of a large portion of the Statute Book, by the removal of many acts which, a l t h oug h they had become obsolete or unnecessary, obstructed the condensation of the Statute Law. Her Majesty has felt much pleasure in giving her assent to an Act for placing upon a h has added a footing that Volunteer Force wine defensive means of most important element to the well-defined the country. T Act for carrying int o effect th e h Additional Treaty Her Majesty has g ladl y g iven her assent to an the President of concluded by her Majesty wit pres her Majesty trusts that Bien of the slav e trade ; and h the United States for the more effectual sup e h onou rable co-oper ation of t e Government o f the United States will materially assistter Majesty in those endeavours which Great Britain has or long been engag ed in making to p ut an e nd to the perp etration of that most dis g r aceful Majesty reseSession. It nt usefulness, to observe the v e crime. Her Ma j est y has assented with sa tisfaction v circumstances to many other m easures of p ub lic resu lt of your labours during the present has o h i e t e h n nindg gratifying many o her aderse that ntwsta the general prosperity of her empire continue§ unimpaired. Though great local distress has been suffered in Great Britain from the effects of the civil war in America, and in Ireland from the re sults of three unfavourable seasons, the financial resources of the United Kingdom have been fully maintained, and its general commerce with the world at large has not been materially impaired. It has been a source of great satisfaction to her Majesty to find that her East Indian possessions, rapidly recovering from the disasters which lately overspread them, are entering upon a course of im provement, social, financial, and commercial, which holds out good promise for the growing prosperity of those extensive regions. On returning to your several counties you will still have important duties to perform ; and her Majesty fervently p rays that the blessing of Almighty God may attend your efforts to promote the welfare and happiness of her subjects, the ob ject of her constant and earnest solicitude. HOUSE OF COMMONS--This Day. The SPEAKER took th chair—for the last time this Sesk , ion—at 1:(.1 minutes to 3 o'clock. There was a fair at tendance of members. RETURNS. A number of unopposed returns were agreed to. NEW WRIT—PON rEFRACT -ELEVATION OF MR. R. M. MILNES TO THE PEERAGE. On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a new writ was ordered to be issued for this borough, in the room of Mr. R. M. fines, who had resigned. The motion was met with some cheers, and appeared to afford general satisfaction to the house, it being understood that he is to be elevated to the peerage. REMOVAL OF RAILINGS ROUND PUBLIC STATUES—LABELLING PICTURES. Mr. E WART asked the First Commissioner of Works whether the iron rails which surrounded the statue of Achilles in Hyde-park, and those which surrounded other statues, would be removed, as had besn done successfully with respect to the statue of Charles the First at Charing cross, and that of George the Third: also, whether, on the water-colour drawings of Turner and other artists exhibited at South Kensington, labels wo uld be fixed, giving he public information as to the subjects, and the painters of such water-colour drawings? Mr. COWPE it replied that the railings round the public statues had been removed without any damage ensuing, and so far as authority extended, be should direct tne re moval of any railings or other obstacle which obstructed the view of public statues or their pedestals. It wt.s the duty of the authorities connected with our picture galleries to affix descriptions to the various pictures, and the names of the artists. BANKRUPTCY ACT RETURNS. Mr. MURRAY gave notice that early nt xt session he should tali attention to the fact that the bankruptcy returns had not been laid on the table, though repeatedly promised, as required by the recent act. THE METRIC SYSTEM. Mr. EWART intimated that early next session he sho uld seek leave to introduce a permissive bill on this subject. BENCHERS. Sir G. BOWYER gave notice that early next session he should introduce a bill to regulate the proceedings of the benchers. STANDING ORDERS. Mr. AYRTON intimated that early next session he should propose an alteration in the standing orders, so as t ) give ample tune for the consideration of bills in all their stages. THE ALIENATION OF THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Mr. D. GRIFFITH intimated that next session he should ask the First Lord of the Treasury whether the Secretary of S ate for Foreign Affairs had not recently ex pressed an opinion that the Crown could not alienate any of its possessions without the consent of Parliament. NATIONAL EDUCATION (IRELAND). Mr. BUT! gave notice that next session he should move an address to the Crown on this subject. PRECEDENCY OF MAYORS AND LORD PROVOSTS. Mr. BROWN- WE S TREAD asked the Secretaryof State for the Home Department whether he had received a com munication, from the Lord Mayor of York, on the question which had arisen between the Lord Provost of Edinburgh and the Lord Mayor of Dublin, and claiming, on the part of the dignity of the office of Lord Mayor of York, prece • deuce next to that of the Lord Mayor of London; and whether he would direct that the claim of precedence of the Lord Mayor of York over both the Lord Provost of Edin burgh and the Lord Mayor of Dublin, be settled by the proper authority Sir G. GREY replied that the Lord Mayor and Corpo ration of London were entitled by charter to personally ad dress the Crown, so that the precedence of the other Lord Mayors and the Lord Provost could not arise. (Laughter.) THE CASE OF CAPTAIN MELVILLE WHITE. Sir G. BOWYER asked the Under Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the Senate of Hamburg had yet accepted the friendly office of arbitrator between her Ma jesty's Government and the Government of Peru In the case of Captain Melville White ; whether any agreement had yet been signed by her Majesty's and the Peruvian Government, fully establishing the bases upon which this case is to be arbitrated, and how much longer it was likely to be before the claims of Captain Melville White against the Peruvian Government would be definitively settled ? Mr, LAYARD replied that the exact terms of the arbi tration had not yet been definitively settled ; but he hoped that no great time would elapse before a settlement was arrived at. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Trea sury what would be the nature of the guarantee to be entered into to prevent the future acquisition of the lonian Islands by any other power than Greece; and which of the European powers would be the parties by whom that gua rantee would be executed Lord PALMERSTON replied that no step could be taken in the direorion indicated without the consent of the powers that were parties to the original protectorate by Great Britain. SUEZ CANAL. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether there was any truth whatever in the asserticn made by M. Lesseps, in his report to the shareholders of the Suez Canal, in which, for the purpose of palliating or defending the employment of forced labour on that work, he undertakes to say, " The Company of the English steamers, in their establishment at Suez, is provided by the Egyptian Government with the porters and labourers neces sary for the embarkation and debarkation of their cargoes, by means of forced labour (travail obligatoire) Lord PALMERS ION replied that he could not be answerable for the opinions of M. Lesseps. (Laughter,) The Government did not know whether what was state( was a fact or not. No doubt when the firman of the Sultan, advisedly enforced, was put into operation, all the labourers would have the benefit of the concession, POLAND. In reply to a question from Mr. HENxEssY, Lord PALM ERSTON said it would be unadvi•able to adopt the suggestion of the hon. and learned member that the Government should withdraw the Queen's Ambassador at St. Petersburg, or refuse to recognise the dominion of Russia in Poland. NENAGII ASSIZES-LIMERICK, • - Mr. BLAKE repeated his question with respect to the man Philip Hayes, tried at the la e Nenagh. Assizes. Mr. MONSELL asked if the Queen's proclamation, now that Limerick was peaceable, would be wilhdrawn ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND replied that the matter was under the consideration of the Execu tive Government. In the case of Limerick, no doubt a favourable result would follow its now peaceable condition, THE PROROGATION. Precisely at one minute att.'. 3 o'clock, Sir AUGUSTI.: S CLIFFORD, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, advanced to the table and summoned the Speaker and the house to hear the Royal Commissioner read her Majesty's Speech on the prorogation of Parliament. The Speaker, accompanied by the whole of the members, immediately left the house and repaired to the House of Lords. At a qUarter to 4 the Speaker returned, and, calling the members round the table, took up his position at the place of the Chief Clerk, and read the Speech, written on paper edged with black. The right hon. gentleman then shook hands with the 40 or 50 members present and then retired. Thus ended the session of 1863.

This protracted inquiry, a w c h l i o c s h e lhasatsnbigehent. foptrtimes t of a fearful . character occurred adjourned, Monmouthshire Railway at this place on the 3d inst., w on he th n e aexpress train ran off the rails, smashed the car riages,b:ragelicitdetno remembered%asat and killed the driver, Robert 111‘Ghae, and seriously injured othe r persons. rho inquest on /Sl`Gh ee was held before Mr. Brewer , coroner for M onmouthshire, and the evidence adduced up to yesterday •is ent to show that the train w as proceeding at a rapid pace, and t h at the line was not a dapted to express speed, the rails being fastened to the sleepers with wooden pegs or trenails instead of iron Ain utshire Rail way Harrison, the engineer t o t h e Monm h o a s i . having stated that the line was in good rer air, Col. Yolland, the Government inspector, was examined. lie said his opinion was that the road was made of fair ma terial for the time when it was constructed-12 or 14 years ago—but that it was decidedly not a road suitable for the express trains of the present day, and he trusted the Mon mouthshire Railway Company accident, and relay their lineo w n o t u a the improved tke warning by this principleof the present d ay, which the company themselves would find after all to be the most economical, Wooden transit might be considered good as long as the wood remained sound, but the use of iron fang bolts was decidedly better; and it was almost impossible for an inspector as he passed along the road to see whether the wooden trenails were rotten or not, and particularly on a line which was ballasted so heavily He was of opinion that the train was travelling at a fast rate, probably 45 miles an hour. That was by no means an unusual speed for an express train, on a proper road con structed for express trains, and he did not think the speed exceeded the time allowed for the journey, which was 15 minutes from Pontypool• road to Newport, which was too little with the road in its present state. At the close of the inquiry the jury found that the de. ceased had bees killed by the train accidentally running off the line, and they added—" We attribute the accident to the high speed run on a road not originally intended for fast running, and we urge the company to allow more time for the express trains from Pontypool-road to Newport until the road is renewed." The ships of war on the Australian station at the date of the last advices were the Harrier, 17, Capt. Sullivan, at Sydney; the Miranda, 14, Capt. Jen kins, at Sydney; and the Eclipse, 4, Commander MtiyrlE, at New Zealand. Her Majesty's paddle sloop Ardent, Capt. Parish (promoted), arrived at Woolwich on Sunday even ing from the south-east coast of America, and was yesterday hauled into basin in preparation to be stripped and paid out of commission for repairs. The Ardent on her way home touched at Bahia, Pernambuco, St. Vincent, and Madeira, and was 50 days at sea. After taking up her berth in basin under the sheers she was inspvcted by Commodore Sir F. Nicolson, C. 8,, superintendent at Woolwich. The officers and crew were mustered on deck, and found to be in a most efficient and healthy condi tion. Some repairs of considerable importance in the machinery were effected with much skill and perfect success by Mr. Maylor, v. resident en g ineer, at Rio, The Ardent brought home a number of the officers and crew of her Majesty's store•ship Madagascar, which Was sold told broken up at Rio do Xaneiro. ar. have itary end- Lblin, al so :porti ho WA 'llona ritain tity. ion's rgens utled 'llan 100 4t,k 20 4o to too 1 stock stock stock 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 100 stook Mock 20i 20 100 100 stock stock stock 20 stock 50 1.00 tuck st OCk too 100 lOU 100 100
