O Y MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The Money Market is assuming a firmer aipeet, under the influence of au increased demand for commercial purposes and prepa rations for the Italian loan. This financial Operation, which has occupied attention for some time past, is likely to be announced at once. Indeed It is already known that the price is 71, which, al lowing for the discount offered for prepayment and other advantages, reduces the cost to the subscriber t 0 69i. It appears that £3,000,000 is to be raised 'a London, £3,000,000 in Paria-, £2,840,000 in Turin, by private subscription, while £11,160,000 has been taken privately, and £8,000,000 will re main unappropriated for some time. There is rea son to believe that tne affair will prove successful, no twithstanding the large addition that has been lastto the su pply o f Dalian secur iti es d ur i ng th e ilist two years, The C ana d a , f ro m A mer i ca , h a s been announc e d, W ith £44,000 in specie. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail- Way of Canada for the week ending the 27th ult. amounted to £14,666, against £9,802 last year. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week state that business in most de partments has been partially suspended, owing to the i festivities consequent upon the marriage of the Prince of Wales. At Manchester. however, there has been more inquiry for cloths and yarns for the Indian and China markets, while a fair amount of business has been transacted in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield, chiefly, how - "er, in spring fabrics. At Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little change of importance, although symptoms of improvement percfptibir in most cl-partmeots. Two o'CLOCK. P this day, according to Mr. Reuter's l ei egrbm, the 3 per Cent. French Rentes were 11 It'. 10c., 69f. 05.--ex coupon. The pro.pectus of the Italian Loan has just ap• g e ared, but th e p r i nc ip a l f ea tures having previously tra nspired, it has not at present attracted much at tention. Continued dulnness is the principal characteristic 11 the market for English Securities, but prices, notwithstanding the paucity of business, are exceed 10Y well maintained.

BOW-STREET. THROWING A POLICEMAN OVER THE AREA RAILINGS. —Robert England was placed at the bar, on remand, charged with assaulting a person named Baker, and also for violently assaulting a police-constable by throwing him over some area railings near Tottenham-court-road. From the depositions taken on the first examination it appeared that a disturbance took place in Tottenham court road during the great illumination night, when a fight en sued. A man was knocked down by another, and on the defendant being secured he was brought back and given into the custody of police-constable 134 E, when a desperate struggle took place between the constable and the prisoner, the result being that the man took the police. man up in his arms and deliberately threw him over some area railings near Store-street. Another constable then came up, and the defendant was taken into custody as the person who had committed the assault. A number of wit nesses were examined on both sides ; and two men named Furnival and Percival corroborated the constables' statement as to the prisoner being the man, whilst a number of other witnesses swore positively that it was a companion of England's, and rot him that struck the man in the face. None of the defendant's witnesses knew who was the man who threw the policeman over the area railing. The evi dence was extremely conflicting, and as the person assaultee. was not in attendance the case was adjourned in order that some other persons who wi!nessed the disturbance might be in attendance. The following additional witnesses were examined this morning : John Baker, of Crown-place, Aldgate, said on the morn ing of the 11th he was proceeding along Tottenham -court road during the illuminations, when the defendant came up with two women and pushed violently against him. He asked him what he did it for, when he knocked him (wit ness) down, and on getting up he gave him in charge to 134 E, when prisoner seized the constable by the leg and collar and threw him over some area railings near Store street. He ran away for some distance, but witness pur sued him and succeeded in capturing him. The reason he did not attend on the first examination was, that he was unable to leave his bed owing to the injuries inflicted on him by the prisoner. He was certain the prisoner was the man who assaulted him and threw the constable over the railings. By Mr. Lewis—He never used any insulting expressions towards prisoner. A person named Fisher was here called into court, but the witness swore he was not the person who assaulted him, Henry Fisher, 11, Steven•street, Tottenham-court-road, said—On the 11th of March he was in Tottenham-court road when the disturbance took place. He was going up the road with some friends, their wives being behind them. He heard a scream, and turning back he saw some men assaulting their wives. He asked the men what they were doing, when one of them spat in his face and struck him. He (witness) struck him again in self-defence. The pri soner was not the person who assaulted Baker. Mr. Henry—Do you know the man whom you struck. Witness—Yes. [He then pointed out Baker as the per son]. Mr. Henry—You don't know who put the constable over the railings. Witness—No, I did not. Edward Fisher gave similar evidence as to the assault, and swore positively that the defendant was the person who threw the constable over the railing. Mr. Henry said it was a case of conflicting evidence, and therefore he should send the case to the sessions. The same witnesses would be examined, then the jury would decide the case. MARK-LANE. In the country markets held on Saturday the wheat trade was somewhat firmer, and in, some instances, fine parcels commanded rather more money. For spring corn, however, the demand was much restricted, at drooping currencies. Flour moved off slowly, on former terms. The continental markets are very dull for all descriptions of cereal produee. Our advices from New York report a further reduction in the value of wheat and flour. Up to oar market last week the arrivals of English grain were very moderate. The imports from foreign parts amounted to 15,888 qrs. of wheat, 2,645 barley, 66,427 oats, 12 beans, 91 tares, 4,594 linseed, 7,951 rapeseed, 25 maize, 2,040 sundry seeds; 922 sacks and 11,373 brls. of flour. A very small supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market, in but middling condition. Owing to the improved feeling in the trade in the provinces, the demand, both for red and white qualities, exhibited more activity, and the greater portion of the supply was disposed of, at the full prices of Monday last, to in some instances is per quarter advance. The show of samples of foreign wheat on offer was some.. what extensive. In most descriptions, a moderate, but by no meanss extensive business was transacted, and quota tions were well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request, and the currencies ruled firm. In the value of barley no change took place. The finest samples were in demand for seed ; otherwise, the trade was in a sluggish state. The supply of foreign produce on offer was large. The demand for malt was by no means active. Prices, however, ruled stationary. The market was extensively supplied with foreign oats, but to a moderate extent only with home-grown qualities. The trade for all descriptions was very dull, and a redac tion of 6d to is per quarter took place in prices, compared with Monday last. Beans, :in good condition, moved off slowly at the late decline in their value; but damp parcels commanded very little attention. The supply en offer was less extensive. Peas, with which the market was but moderately sup plied, changed hands slowly on former terms. Barrel flour was in slow request at late rates. In other descriptions a very moderate business was transacted at previous quotations. The town of Besancon (Donbs) has just had a cavalcade for the benefit of the distressed cotton-weavers, the result of the collection being satisfactory. After de ducting all the expenses a sum of 4,086 f. remained for the charitable purpose intended, out of which 500 f. were given to the poor of the town. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a fair average supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, and the whole of it found buyers, at very full prices to a slight advance. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland, were somewhat limited, and the quality of most kinds was by no means first-rate. From Scotland the receipts were rather extensive for the time of year. Although the beef trade was not quite so active as on Thursday last, that day's advance in the quo tations was supported. A few very superior Scots and crosses realised 58 2d, but the general top price for beef was 5s per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,700 Scots, short-horns, and crosses; from other parts of England, 660 various breeds ; from Scotland, 400 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 40 oxen and heifers. For the time of year, the show of sheep was limited as to number, but their general quality was prime. The demand for all kinds was active, at fullyThureday's improvement in value. Downs, in the wool, realised 6s 2d, in same few in stances 6s 4d, per 81b. Prime half-breds, out of the wool, sold at 58 4d, and clipped Lincoln and Leicesters, 5s per 81b. Lambs, the supply of which was very moderate, moved off freely, at from 7s 4d to 88 per 81b. There was a fair inquiry for calves, at very full pricas, viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 6d per 81b.

This was an action to recover for commission earned, and defendant was described as " Koning trading as Herbert." Mr. Beard appeared for the plaintiff, and a female an swered for defendant. The Lady said—lt is no use going on, as Mr. Koning knows nothing of it. His Honour—There is some question about the service of the summons. Mr. Beard--I will soon get over that. Now, madam, are you not Mrs. Koning ? Lady—No ; nor am I Mrs. Herbert. I never passed as either. Mrs. Beard—Perhaps you had better be sworn. The lady having been sworn, Mr. Beard again questioned her as to her knowledge of defendant. She then admitted having lived with him as his wife some time ago. His Honour—The return to the summons says, delivered to a woman, who said there was no person of the name of Koning or Herbert living there. Lady—Neither is there. Mr. Beard—Upon a previous occasion a similar return was made, and we did not attend, when defendant came forward and claimed costs in our absence. His Honour—Defendant must pay this claim. But you will take your chance of catching him. Plaintiff—Oh I I will catch him. Lady—That you never will I (Great laughter.) Verdict for plaintiff with costs. BOSS V. KIMPTON.—JUST SAVING THE STATUTE OF LIMITATIONS. This was an action to recover damages for the non delivery of a certain parcel. Mr. Buchanan appeared for defendant, who pleaded the statute of limitations. Mr. Buchanan said a very singular fact had arisen during the progress of this suit. Plaintiff had just saved the statute by two days. The summons was issued on the 19th Feb., 1863, and the cause of action arose on the 21st Feb., 1857. The plea, therefore, would not be pressed, but the defendant would meet the case on its merits. It certainly was cutting the matter very finely, but he (Mr, Buchanan) would admit that the issuing of the summons on the 19th February removed the plea. Plaintiff was called, but did not appear, and costa were awarded to defendant. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. CITY BETTING—SATURDAY.

The demand for all qualities is in a sluggish state, and in some instances prices exhibit a slight depreciation when compared with our previous report.

ASSAULT IN AN OMNIBUS.—Mr. Louis Pritchard, of Acton-green, and Ebenezer Little and Frederick Little, mariners, of 8, Jamaica-row, Rotherhithe, were charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with assaulting Mr, Frank de Fon blanque, of 28, Sussex-place, Kensington, an employe in the War-office, Pall-mall. Mr. de Fonblanque said he was in an omnibus on Satur day evening, on his way home, the three defendants being at the far end of it with three women, all evidently under the influence of drink, and exceedingly noisy. When the omnibus stopped at the White Horse Cellar the three de fendants got out and brought some drink from the public house to the omnibus to give to the women. He objected to the drink being brought into the omnibus, and asked for the conductor, when two of the defendants (Pritohard and Frederick Little) tried to push past him, and threw some of the drink into his face, nearly blinding him. He rushed at the defendants, and was knocked down on the pavement, and rolled over several times, and was so much stunned by the repeated falls that he could scarcely say how he was treated. He afterwards gave the defendants into custody. Police-constable Henry Smith, 147 C, said that there was a large crowd at the White Horse Cellar, and the defend ants were given into his custody for the assault. Mr. Tyrwhitt asked the constable whether the defendants had been drinking, and the constable said he could not tell whether they had or not. Sergeant Bradley, 25 C, said that he saw the defendants when brought to the station, and they had been drinking. The defence the defendants offered did not alter the com plexion of the case. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he considers?, the case distinctly , proved against Frederick Little and Pritchard. An omni bus was not to be made a drinking shop of. He should fine Frederick Little and Pritchard 108. each, or 7 days, and dis charge the other defendant. WESTMINSTER. SERIOUS PLUNDER OF AN EMI LOYER.--Ann Thom kins and James Coghlon were placed at the bar for plun dering the former's employer of jewellery and cash, value £l4O. Mrs. Broom, of 1, Rochester-row, grocer, said that her husband was ill at home, and had been so for some time. On Tuesday evening last she went out to see the illumina tions, and, returning about one in the morning, her daugh ter-in. law found the sash of the window in the prisoner's bedroom lying on the floor, the sash-lino having been cut. Shortly afterwards, on going to her husband's room, she missed a small portable bookcase, with four drawers, which contained £75 in gold and silver in different bags, and a £5 note, besides which were a gold watch, a silver watch, four rings, and a great quantity of jewellery. All these things had been safe in the house when prosecutrix went out that evening. Mary Ann Adams said that, at about half-past 8 on Tues day evening, she saw the female prisoner let a man into the house. Witness was certain male prisoner was the man. and had frequently seen him let in before on Sunday nights. Thorn, '272 B, said he investigated this robbery. He examined the premises, and found the lower sash in a bed room on the first-floor had been taken out. A person might have obtained access that way, but there were no marks. Witness was asked whether she had been visited by any one, when she replied she had not, she only had an uncle and aunt in London, who seldom saw her. She said she had only been out three minutes for the supper beer for her master. The female prisoner went nut on Wednesday for a holiday, and yesterday also, when witness kept an eye upon her. On both occasions she met the male prisoner. Last night as she left him she was taken into custody, and Morgan, another policeman, took the male prisoner, upon whom was found £56 in gold and silver, and the £5 note which had been stolen from the prosecutors, and also the watches and jewellery identified. Walter Morgan, 277 B, proved watching the female prisoner on Wednesday and yesterday. On the latter oc casion they went in St. James's-park, and went into Eaton lane. The male prisoner seeing witness there, ran away, but was captured. When told the charge he made no reply. It was shown that the whole of the property had been recovered. Prisoners were remanded for a week. THAMES. STEALING TEA IN THE LONDON-Does:.—Thomas Nelson, a labourer in the London-dock, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 13oz. of tea. William Northage, a constable in the employ of the Lon don Dock Company, said he stopped the prisoner at the principal er trance gate on Saturday evening as he was leaving tb ,dock, and took off his boots, in which he found 13 ounce "of tea quite clean. Coll,' Gallons, a foreman, said the prisoner had been worki , Jg under him oft and on for two years, and hisgeneral character was good. There were thousands of chests of tea open in the warehouses of the dock. The prisoner's wages amounted to 2s. 6d. per day. Mr. Woolrych fined the prisoner 165., and in default to be imprisoned for seven days. The fine was paid. DARING ROBBERY IN THE WRST INDIA DOCK.— Richard Marchant, aged 39, a painter, of No. 8, Ebenezer place, 'Vincent-street, Limehouse, was charged wtth steal ing four oil cans, valued at 12s. in the West India Dock. The four oil cans had been removed from the ship Day light, in the West India dock, and placed on the quay alongside the vessel. The prisoner boldly took up the cans, and presented himself at the gate with a forged pass. Ho was stopped by a constable, named William West, who, having suspicions of the authority of the pass, which purported to be signed by the mate of the Daylight, he made inquiries and found it to be a forgery. The prisoner said he was a s_aenan, and one of the crew of the Daylight. The mate stated in the prisoner's pre sence that he knew nothing of him or the pass. The Daylight was leaving the dock on Saturday, and the mate, of course, was unable to attend. The evidence, however, was conclusive against the prisoner, who pleaded guilty, and he was sentenced to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. An impudent robbery was committed yesterday to the prejudice of an optician in the Rue St. Martin. On the previous evening, a lady named D- went to the shop to look at some double opera. glasses, and on leaving she told the optician that she would send for two or three glasses in the morning and make her choice at home. This arrangement wag overheard by a thief who was lurking about, and the next morning a young man called for the opera glasses in the name of Mme D-, and received two very valuable ones. _A few minutes later, the lady's servant came with a similar message, and the cheat was discovered ; but too late, for the thief had got clear eff.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS--This Evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. LEASES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES ACT. The LORD CHANCELLOR brought in a bill to amend the Leases and Sales of Settled Estates Bill, passed last session. The bill was read a first time. LOANS IN IRELAND. The Earl of LEITRIM presented a petition from a place in Ireland, complaining of the sudden manner in which the commissioners of the Loan Fund had suddenly sought to recover from the poor inhabitants the sum of £4,000 or £5,000. He condemned the conduct of the commissioners in very strong terms. Earl GRANVILLE thought it extremely irregular for the noble lord to make charges against absent persons with out giving the slightest no - bee of his intention of doing so. PIVATE BUS. The Edinburgh ß Water and Gr S eat lNE Gritnsby Water Bills were read a third time and passed. UNION RELIEF AID ACT CONTINUANCE BILL. Earl GRA.NVILLE moved the second reading of this bill. He said the necessity, he regretted to say, still existed, but the occasion for it would have been much more urgent had it not been for the noble effort that had been made by private individuals to alleviate the distress which unfortunately existed in Lancashire. He hoped their lordships would cheerfully give their consent to the second reading of the bill, and thus show their appreciation of the admirable manner in which the calamity had been borne by the people of Lan cashire. The bill was read a second time. SALMON EXPORTATION DILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY moved the second reading of the bill, which he said was a supplement to the act passed last session. By that act exceptions had been made with respect to certain rivers, but those exceptions had been evaded, and fish had been taken therefrom to Holland and :other places, and then imported as foreign salmon. The Earl of MALMESBURY said the bill would be come probably useless, without they prohibited the impor tation as well as the exportation of the fish. Lord STANLEY was afraid there was no way of pre venting the fraud complained of by the noble earl. The Earl of DALHOUSIE said the onus of proving that the fish sent for sale during the close time had been pro perly caught should be thrown on the vendor. The bill was read a second time. MALT DUTY BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—This Evening. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. SECOND READING. The South Mayo Railway Bill was read a second time. • THIRD READINGS. The following bills wore read a third time :—Berke and Hants Extension Railway—Dungarvon Harbour, Markets, and Improvement—Glasgow Gas —lnverness and Aberdeen Junction Railway —Leeds Gas—Mid Wales Railway (Capital)—Newtown and Machsnlleth Railway (Capital, &c.)—Vale of Llangollen Railway. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented by Lord HOTHAM and Mr. W. PATTEN, and other hon. members, against the sale of intoxicating liquors on the Sabbath. RET U RNS. TREASURE TROVE. On the motion of Sir J. C. JERVOISE, a return was ordered of all objects coming under the denomination of Treasure Trove. SUGAR. On the motion of Mr. CRAWFORD, an address was agreed to for copies of a memorial on the subject of the sugar duties, addressed by the Chambers of Agriculture and Commerce of the Mauritius to the Secretary of State for the Colonies in the month of December, 1862 ; and of the despatch of the Governor of the Colony forwarding the same.

On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a new writ was ordered to be issued for the northern division of Lancashire, in the room of the Marquis of Hartington, who had accepted the office of one of the Junior Lords of the Admiralty. TURKEY—BELGRADE. Mr. GREGORY gave notice that shortly after Easter he should move for copies of all communications received at the Foreign-office in 1862 with respect to the bombard • ment of Belgrade ; also for certain information with respect to financial reform in Turkey; and that be should call at tention to the condition cf that country. EDUCATION. Mr. WALTER, g ave notice iiat le intended to postpone his motion on this subject to the first day he could secure after the Easter recess. INDIA. Capt. JERVIS asked the Secretary of State for India whether the Government had determined to appoint a royal commission to inquire whether the guarantee given to the officers of the late East India Company's army by Parlia ment, by Act 21 and 22 Vic., c. 105, and 23 and 24 Vic., c. 100, had or had not been departed from ? Sir C. WOOD replied that her Majesty, on his recom mendation, had direct e d th e appo i ntmen t o f a commission, which would comprise members of both Houses of Parlia ment. Col. SYKES inquired whether the testimony of officers who offered themselves for examination would be received by the commission ? Sir C. WOOD said that would depend upon the com mission. Mr. FARQUHAR asked if the commission would be composed of other persons besides members of both houses of Parliament ? Sir C. WOOD replied that be had already intimated that the commission would " comprise" members of both houses. C o l one l SYKES desired to ask his hon. and gallant friend the member for Harwich, whether, after the state ment of the right hon. baronet the Secretary of State for India, he intended to proceed with his motion? Cap . ain JERVIS said as at present he did not quite understand the exact nature of the commission, he should proceed witli his motion to-morrow night. FIRES IN THE METROPOLIS. Mr. PEACOCK asked the Secretary of state for the Home Department whether he would bring in his bill upon the subject of fires in the metropolis before Easter ? Sir G. GREY intimated that last year the Fire Insurance Companies expressed a desire to be relieved of the expense of maintaining the London Fire Brigade, and he believed the document in which that determination was conveyed had been laid on the able of the house. He had been in communication with the fire offices, and hoped to be able to make an arrangement with those bodies satisfactory to them and the public. It was not improbable that he should be able to introduce a bill on the subject before E as t er . CAST-IRON GUNS. Mr. SINNAIRD asked the Secretary of State for War, which of the several plans proposed for rifling the existing cast-iron service guns had been reported by the Ordnance Select Committee to be the best : whether the Government intended to introduce the improvement into the service without delay ; and whether the report of the Ordnance Select Committee on this subject will be published ? Sir G. C. LEWIS replied that he would be happy to produce the rep , rts whenever his hon. friend thought proper to move for them. At pr sent the Government is not dis posed to give effect to the report of the committee. If, however, it was htended to use such guns, those of the gentleman reported in favour of would be used. TOBACCO. In reply to Mr. CRAWFORD, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he was happy to be afforded an opportunity of allaying the apprehension which prevailed in the trade on the sub ject of the new rates on tobacco. There was no intention to apply to tobacco a rule analogous to that used with respect to wine three years ago. Such a Plan would be utterly impracticable, and the Government would bo as much opposed to it as the trade pozEeibly could be. The rul e h e bad laid down was to meet special cases, in order to counteract special processes adopted to produce an artificial dryness. It was necessary, toe, to guard against the possibility of a contraband trade in rile Chsu nel Islands. END J WED SCHOOLS (IRISH CHURCH). In tcply to M r . W ALroLE, Mr. DILLWYN said he lurposed deferring his motion with respect to endowed schools to :he ei.d of April or the beginning of May. That with respcet to the Irish Church he should postpone until the 2d Tuesday atter LONDON COAL AND WINE CONTINUANCE DUTIES BILL. In reply to Mr. CRAWFORD, Mr. t_ 0 WPEIL said it woulkl not be possible for hiui to bring mu ihis b• 11 this evening. DETECTIVE POLICE IN P.)LAND . Mr. HENNESSY desired to ask the question of the right baronet the _ ecretary of Sate for the Home De partment, of which he had privately given him notice, namely, vt hether the two detectives had not sent Sir R.: Mayne a letter not comprised in the papers published, and whether he had sent a reply; that letter, he believed, sought for further leave of absence; also the exact date the police went to Warsaw, and when the Russian authorities said they no longer needed their sei vices, and when they returned home ; also the name of the gentleman referred to in the correspondence but not mentioned. Sir G. GREY replied that he was not aware of the name of the gentleman adverted to ; indeed he had no know ledge of him whatever. The police were not both detec tives, as one of them was a superintendent of the A divi sion. He believed they left England on the 6th of August, and returned in the first week in October; but they would have returned sooner-save for the illness of one of them. He understood that all the correspondence had been pro duced. Mr. D. GRIFFITHS inquired if the application for the police had, in the first instance, been made to the noble viscount the First Lord of the Treasury? Sir G. GREY replied that the application was made to him, and that he acted in the matter entirely on his own responsibility. GREECE. On the motion of Lord PALMERSTON, it was ordered that this evening the orders of the day be postponed till after the notice of motion relating to Greece. Mr. B. COCHRANE rose to move for an address for further correspondence relating to the affairs of Greece. He said that the Greeks had been much dis appointed in not having for their king either the Duke of Saxe Coburg er Prince Alfred. It was exceedingly important even upon financial grounds that the closest re lations should subsist between this country and Greece. The unguaranteed debt owing to this country amounted to £7,000,000, and the guaranteed debt now amounted to £2,000,000, and the accumulated interest on both had reached the enormous sum of £900,000. (Hear ) The Greek people were unanimous in their desire to get Prince Alfred for their sovereign. Several votes had been given for others ; but he could not but regret that the right hon. gentleman opposite (the Chancellor of the Exche quer) was not himself a candidate (laughter) for he was a great favourite with the Greek people, and would have an ample opportunity there of exercising his financial abilities for the welfare of the people. (Renewed laughter.) The Greek people, in their extremity, had thrown them selves entirely on Englnd, to the exclusion of the two other great powers. (Hear, hear.) It was well, therefore, at this juncture to inquire how the Government had dis charged the obligations cast upon them ; whether they had shown that consideration for Greece that the people of that country had a right to expect. In his opinion the conduct of the Government had neither been just nor very generous, and the result had been that Greece had greatly suffered from the policy that the Government had pursued towards it. (Hear, hear.) He stigmatised the conduct of Earl Russell as offensive and erroneous. Had the noble viscount (Lord Palmerston) held the seals of the Foreign-office, he was satisfied, from the course he had invariably pursued in that house that a very different course would have been adopted. It was on the 22d of October, last year, that the revolution took place. Immediately after Earl Russell wrote to Russia and :France calling attention to the protocol of 1805, excluding any of the scions of the three Royal h. et from the throne of Greece. Russia concurred frankly and at once, agreeing with the language of Earl Russell, but France replied with more re serve. It would have been well, he thought, if the wishes of the Greek people with respect to Prince Alfred could have been gratified. Mr. GREGORY replied to some of the statements of the hon. member. He thought the Government had acted well in not permitting Prince Alfred to ascend the throne of Greece. (LEFT SPEAKING.) ENGLISH POLICE OFFICERS in POLAND. The correspondence relating to the " mission" of two London police officers to Warsaw has been published, On the 31st of July last, Baron Brun now, the Russian ambassador in London, wrote to Sir George Grey : " The Grand Duke Constantine, during his former stay 11l thi s country, has b een particularly impressed with the beneficial influence whi c h your police regulations exercise for the maintenance of good order, legality, and public security. His Imperial Highness is desirous of establish ing a similar institution in the kingdom of 'Poland, whose welfare is entrusted now to his care by his Majesty the Emperor. The Grand Duke is the more anxious to intro.. duce a useful reform into this branch of the public ser vice, as such a reform may enable him to put an end as soon as possible to the now existing martial law, and to replace the country under the rule of a regular civil ad ministration. For this purpose the Grand Duke has thought it highly important to secure for a very short time (say two months) the presence at Warsaw of an in telligent and active police officer, who might communi cate to the authorities there his practical views on the subject of the organisation of this branch of public ser vice on a similar footing as it is in this country. Taking into consideration the importance of the contemplated reform, I do not hesitate to apply to you in the hope that you will kindly lend me your assistance for carrying it into effect as far as it is in your power. The first step to be taken would be to allow Sir Richard Mayne to put himself into communication with a gentleman to whose care the Grand Duke has directly and privately entrusted this object, so intimately connected with the success of his own administration." Superintendent Walker and inspector Whicher were sent out to Warsaw, and on the Bth Sept. they sent home the following report to Sir R. Mayne : ,‘ We beg most respectfully to report, for the information of the Commissioner, that we are still in daily communica tion with the authorities, who appear to be well pleased with the information we convey to them. No change has been made in the existing police system at present, but we hope that by the latter end of the ensuing week our services will be dispensed with. Everything seems very quiet, and no further attempts at assassination have been made, although it is feared that similar acts will be repeated, but every precaution is taken to prevent them. Indeed, thz.. Government appears to be in constant apprehension. Our mission here is kept entirely secret except to the three gentlemen we have been in communica tion with, that being deemed the most prudent course under existing circumstances, as our personal safety might be en dangered by a wrong construction being placed on the object of our visit." Sir It. Mayne, in a letter to Sir George Grey, says the only instructions given to Walker and Whicher " were verbal to the following effect : That they were to take with them all the printed forms and reports showing the organisation of the metropolitan police, and the mode of carrying on their duties, and that they should give all the in formation in their knowledge on those subjects to the persons with whom they should be put_in com munication."
