CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. 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 CY:Tony, 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, Bette, and Brassey, and Messrs. Cranapton. The quotations for English copper have this day been advanced 43 per ton. The rise in yePow metal is Is. 4d, p.r lb. The followirg are the pre sent prices —ordinary sheets, sheeting, and rod, £lO2 ; fla,c bottoms, £lO7 ; tough cake, tile, and ingot, 1;95 ; best selected, £9B. Thr.l 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 has 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 38 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. Reuter's telegram, opened at 67f. 20e., 67f. 15c.; firm. The official returns relating to the trade and navi gation of the United Kingdom for the six months ended the 30th Jane, 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 1E62, 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 £lO 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 tw o undertaki ngs, an d for author i s i ng 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 it an advance of nearly 1 per cent., consequent tation s upon few speculative purchases. The quo still indicate strength, and are quoted 92 1 exactly for money and the account. ( I : he New Th rees an d R e d uce d A n n u iti e s are 92 8 ' 3 .

To-day was appointed for hearing the application of this bankrupt to be discharged from custody. Mr. Roxburgh and Mr. Sargood appeared for the ban_ 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 £.50,0`,)0, on a promissory note, dated the 19th of November, 1850, 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 far back as March last, they bad 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 order the discharge, the bankrupt would neces sarily remain in prison until the latter end of October, when he would come up f,r his last examination. He submitted it was a case in which the court had full 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, aLd 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 called Mr. Win. 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. His 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, they 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 court this Court 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, and 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 anyopportunity 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 Batfield, 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 be did, and then came and knocked at the area door, and was again informed that if he wanted day work he must remain. Shortly after that the saw the prisoner coming from a greenhouse with a bundle in his hand, and she knew that he must have been upstairs in SUMO 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. IXPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS--Last Evening. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at 12 o'clock. PROGRESS OF BUSINESS. The Consolidated Fund Appropriation Bill was read a third time and passed. The Commons' amendments to the District Parochia Churches (Ireland) Bill were considered and agreed to. The Commons' amendments to the British Columbia Boundaries Bill were considered and agreed to. The Commons amendments to the Drainage and Im provement of Lands (Ireland) Bill were considered and agreed to. ALKALI WORKS REGULATION BILL. The Commons' reasons for insisting on one of the amendments made by them to this b 11, to which their lord. chips have disagreed, were considered. The Earl of DERBY was of opinion that the bill was scarcely worth passing with the amendment; but, on the motion of Lord Stanley of AlC.erley, the amendment was agreed to. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. UNFOUNDED CHARGE OF F ELONY.--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 Kent road. _ _ •./Ns. , •• 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 went 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 purse, 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 made 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, he 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 th e woman h av i ng sa id some thing to him, the prisoner tried to strike her, but his (witness) prevented him. Powlett, of the C division, eaid that on taking the prisoner into custody h e i ndignantly denied the charge, stating th a t he was a respectable man, and had worked for Mr. Poole 14 years, and that the woman had made a mistake. 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 hid], 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 pr o 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 his 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 a''B o with stealing a saddle, bri dl e , and a quantity of othe r 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 be (Mr. Barnard) missed a quantity of property, consisting of a saddle, a macintosh, and other articles, and also a ga s 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 S, 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, Le should be able to trace some of the property. Mr, Tyrwhitt remanded the prisoner till Thursday. PROROGATION OF PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—This Day.

The LORD CHANCELLOR then read HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH. MY LO)DS 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 Mk,jesty's ac knowledgments fur 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 jcsty 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 M.cksty, however, has seen no reason to depart from that strict neutrality which her Majesty has observed from the beginning of the conte st. 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 unio❑ will be duly ascertained. Several barbarous outrages committed in Japrm 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 Brezil has thought fit to break off his diplomatic relations with her Majesty ia consequence of her Majesty not having complied with demands which she did not deem it possible to accede to, Her Majesty has no wish that thi, 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 cummwads 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 the Civil War in North Ame rica has ir,flicteci ..227., a 2crtien of her Majesty's subjects in the manufacturing districts, azd towards the relief of which such generous and maaificent contributions have been made, has in some degrea 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 valuabl3 and improving colony. Her Majesty has given her assent to a measure for augmenting the income of a considerable number of smell benefices, and she trusts that this mea sure will be conducive to the interests of the Esta blished Church. Her Al.ijesty 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, although 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 well-defined footing that Volunteer Force which has added u most important element to the defensive means of the country. Her Majesty has gladly given her assent to an Act for carrying into effect the Additional Treaty concluded by her Majesty with the President of the United States for the more effectual suppres sion of the slave trade ; and her Majesty trusts that the honourable co-operation of the Government of the United States will materially assist her Majesty in those endeavours which Great Britain has long been engaged in making to put an end to the perpetration of that most disgraceful crime. Her Majesty has assented with satisfaction to many other measures of public usefulness, the result of your labours during the present Session. It has been gratifying to her Majesty to observe that notwithstanding many adverse circumstances the general prosperity of her empire continues 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. Oa returning to your several counties you will still have important duties to perform ; and her Majesty fervently prays that the blessing of Almighty God may attend your efforts to promote the welfare and happiness of her subjects, the oh ' ject of her constant and earnest solicitude. NEW YORK.--A private letter from New York, under date of the 15th of July, says :—" Yesterday began the revolution in New Yolk. No one knows how it will end. I have decided to leave as soon as possible. As to the credits I have out, I cannot tell when they will be paid. Of one thing I am certain—that we are neither secure ourselves nor the money we have in the banks." The gas consumed at the GralA Hotel in Paris, coats annually 130,000 f., precisely what it costs a year to light the whole town of Orleans. THE lONIAN ISLANDS. Lord STRATFORD DE RED CLIFFE called attention to the proposed guaranty ot' the lonian Islands when trans• ferred to Greece, as appearing from the first article of the fourth Protocol of the Conference held at the Foreign Office, relating to Greek affairs, and recently presented to the house by command of her Majesty. The noble lord doubted whether the annexation of the islands to Greece would be followed by the generous expectations enter tained by his noble friend, Earl Russell, and, in support of his opinions, quoted from the I,tter of a correspon dent of his relating a few of the incidents occurring in the recent disturbances at Athens. The noble lord hoped that sinco the cession of the islands was not fully completed the subject might be further considered. Earl RUSSELL considered that as the negotiations ;n reference to the cession of the lonian Islands had corn • menced with the opening of the session, and been continued with mire or less activity from that time to the present, the conduct of her Majesty's Government had been virtually endorsed by their lorrishi t s, for no objection had been raised to it either by the noble lord who drew attention to it, or by any other member of their lordships' house. The noble earl thought he had good grounds for the sanguine hopes he entertained for the future of Greece. The young Prince, George 1., was full of courage, and he was well advised by a Minister of experience, who entered on his new mission with spirit and hop-fulness equal to that exhibited by the young Prince ; and perhaps by the time their lordships met again they would see whose expectations were nearer the truth. The Earl of DERBY said that although it was ttue that Parliament had not made any objection to the cession of the lonian Islands, it must also be remembered that it was a subjec; with which Parliament had nothing to do. He (the Earl o:Derby) thought.the cession of the protectorate of the lonian Islands was the most gratuitous cession he had ever heard of ; and if anything could add to the impolicy of such a step, it was the condition of the country to which they were going to cede it, (Oh,) The noble earl, at the begin ning of the correspondence which took place on the sub ject, proposed to make the cession of the lonian Islands to Greece dependent upon certain contingencies, such as the establishment of a constitutional monarchy, the prevalence of a state of peace and order, and the like ; and that when these things were proved to exist, her Majesty's Govern ment would then consult the wishes of the lonian people, and if they were willing to have the concession take place, a conference would be assembled for the purpose. But now it seemed that this course was to be reversed, for it was after the conference the people of the lonian Islands were to be consulted. But there was a more important question, viz., whether the people of the lonian Islands were willing, in the present condition of Greece, to have the protectorate given up. The noble earl opposite had spoken very sari. guiirely with regard to the political prospects of Greece, and had admired—justly admired—the courage of the y.,ung prince who had undertaken to secure for himself what the noble earl had termed a splendid prise. But however much the young prince was to be admired for his courage, he could not give him so much credit for discretion in undertaking the difficult task he had done of establishing constitutional monarchy in Greece. Some papers had been laid upon the table in the early part of the evening, which they were led to expect contained valuable information with regard to this question of the acceptance of the crown of Greece by the young Prince. He took up the papers with a view of learn ing something, but he confessed he was unable to discover anything to add to the information he already possessed. The noble earl then referred to the grave disturbances which had taken place in Greece, and which had only been suppressed by the landing of a number of marines from the fleets of the protecting Powers; and said he wished to know whether the protest which be held in his hand was genuine, which purported to have emanated from the Ministers of the three protecting Powers. This protest, which the noble read in extenBo, was directed to the National Assembly, and con tained a very strong censure on the disturbances which had taken place. Earl RUSSELL said he could not answer for every word, but it was cot rect in substance. The Earl of DERBY said he was justified in inferring that, in the present state of personal intrigues in Greece, the problem of establishing constitutional monarchy there was a difficult one. (Hear.) But that was not the question for their lordships ; it was a question for Denmark. But the question for this country was, not to add to the respon sibilities of the Government fresh elements of confusion and difficulty by giving up the protectorate of the lonian Islands, which they held for the benefit of the people of those islands. Whatever might be the policy under other circumstances of ceding to Greece the protectorate of the lonian Islands, he could not but regard it as a crime of the deepest dye to do so at a time when Greece was in a state of convulsion, according to the declaration of the Ministers of the three protecting Powers. The noble earl opposite had said, if the country were polled through, the people would be in favour of the cession or the lonian Islands. It might be that the people, only looking to the troubles and expenses which the protectorate cost this country, might say, " We are glad to be rid of the lonian Islands." But thet was not the light in which a statesman should regard the question. • statesman ought to look whether the cession was for the benefit of the people of the islands , and whether the country to which they were to be ceded had an established form of government, or whether it was not likely to be overborne by some other Power; in which event, the lonian Islands might pass into the possession of some other Power, or might lead to the necessity of enforcing the present possession. He had been told that when the lonian people had lately asked for the protection of Great Britain, they were told that, being under the protection of the King of Greece, they were no longer entitled to the protection of Great Britain. He, moreover, thought the cession of the lonian Islands was likely to lead to the embarrassment of Greece itself, and he was glad to have the opportunity of recording his disap proval of the policy of ceding the protectorate of the lonian Islands to Greece. (Hear, hear.) earl RUSSELL explained that it was a misapprehen sion of the meaning of his noble friend at the head of the Government; to suppose that he had said the question of the lonian Islands tips one with which Parliament had nothing to do. What his noble friend wanted to establish was that the lonian Islands not being a possession of the Crown, the Crown had the right to dispe;.se of the protectorate, and he hoped that those who before were in doubt of the fact would now understand it. As to the fact of the petition from the lonian people praying for the protection of Great Britain, no such document had come before him, although be had heard a rumour about it. The matter then dropped. METROPOLITAN RAILWAYS. Lord STRATREDEN moved for a humble address to her Majesty praying her Majesty to appoint a commission to inquire into and report upon the principle which ought to guide further legislation on the subject of metropolitan rail ways. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said that the question of a committee or a commission had occupied their lordships' attention during the session, and they had finally decided upon a committee. The report of that committee, after anxi ous consideration, was against the appointment of a commis sion. There were several suggestions in the report, which it would have been desirable to have laid before Parliament, but the report was presented too late for that purpose this session. Next session measures, in pursuance of the sug gestions in the report, would be laid before Parliament. Tne chief suggestions were in favour of one central station and one management of all the metropolitan railways. The discussion was carried on by the Marquis of Clanri carde, Lord Redesdale, and Earl Fortescue. Lord STRATHEDEN replied, and appealed to the Earl of Derby for his opinion. The Earl of DERBY said that he really had not attended I much to the debate; but it appeared to him that as the question had been referred to a committee, they ought to accept the decision of that committee ; and he would advise the noble lord not to press his motion. Lord STRATHEDEN then withdrew the motion. EDUCATION. Lord REDESDALE called attention to the minute of the Committee of Council on Education of May 19 last, and the memorandum of the committee of the National Society to the Committ ee o f Council thereon. He complained that the intention was to make public charity come in aid of the public expenditure, and it was th e more reprehensible see ing that it came in the same session in which the Chancellor of the Exchequer had been defeated in an attempt to tax charities. (Hear, hear, from Lord Derby.) The Earl of DERBY begged to be allowed to bear his testimony to the very great hardships which the minute inflicted upon schools and teachers. He gave an example of a school on his own estate in which, the endowment bei ng £4B, which was a few pounds over the maximum named in the minute, the school would be absolutely shut out from all parliamenti-xy aid, although it was under Government inspeetion and control, He trusted that the minute would be modified. Bail POWIS also opposed the minute. The Duke of SOMERSET regretted that the Lord Pre sident (Earl Granville) was not present, as he would be best able to reply to the noble lord's objections; but, as he was himself present when the minute was agreed to he was Pre' pared to defend it. It was ascertained that the sum of 30s. per head was sufficient to provide education for the class for which they were providing. It was therefore clear that where endowments reached 58s for each child in the school the public money would not be well applied if it were given in addition. The Council had fixed 58s as the maximum, and it was much in advance of what was laid down as a sufficient sum for the purposes of education. The noble duke then defended the regulations regarding inspectors. The great object and the great difficulty which the Council had before them was to regulate the outlay of the public money to the best advantage. (Hear, hear.) That was what they wished to do, and they hoped they had succeeded. Lord REDESDALE, in reply, said the effect of the al teration would be to destroy the efficacy of a number of schools. He hoped the matter would be fully considered in the next sessiun of Parliament, and that a different view would be taken of the suhjeet, After a few words from the Earl of DONOUGHMORE and Earl FORTESCUE, the matter dropped, VENTILATION OF THE HOUSE AND COAT- MITTEE ROOMS. The Earl of LONGFORD called attention to the defec tive state of the ventilation of the house and the committee rooms, and expressed a hope that attention would be paid to the matter before next session. TELEGRAPHS BILL. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said the Commons had agreed to all the amendments except the word " re spectively," and he hoped their lordships would not insist upon that. The house resolved not to insist on their amendments. Their lordships adjourned at twenty minutes past six o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS —Last Evening. Ttie SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. RETURNS. A large number of unopposed returns were ordered. THE MHOW COURT-MARTIAL. Mr. CONINGHAM intimated that owing to the late period of the session, and the recent date the papers were laid on the table, he should not proceed with his motion on this subject ; but he should take the earliest opportunity next session of bringing it forward. TROOPS IN INDIA. The Horr. GENTLEMAN also intimated that early next session he should call the attention of the house to the anomalous position of the Commander-in-Chief with respect 'to the Indian army, and whether it was not expedient that that army should be placed in the same favourable position, with regard to liberty and treatment, as that at home. SALE OF INTOXICATING LIQUORS Mr. LAWSON gave notice that early next session he should introduce a bill to prohibit the sale of intoxicating liquors, in the event of a certain number of assessed house holders deciding by a majority in favour of the adoption of such a course. THE BASIN AT PORTSMOUTH. In reply to Mr. CoRRT, Lord C. PAGET said that, during the recess, It would be the duty of the Admiralty to prepare a private bill to con struct the basin at Portsmouth. The cost would be asked in the ordinary way in the navy estimates. It was his in tention early next session to move the appointment of a select committee on basins and docks. RE-MARRIAGE OF DISSENTERS. Sir M. PE CO asked her Majesty's Government whether they had heard of the re-marriage of a Mr. and Mrs. Hulin by the Rev. Horatio Walmeeley, vicar of St. Briavels, Gloucestershire, after they had been previously married in a Dissenting chapel, and on which re-marriage the vicar entered the parties in his register-book as bachelor and spinster, knowing of the previous marriage; and whether her Majesty's Government would prosecute the vicar for making such entries un , 'er the statute 7th George IV., sec. 29 ? Mr. BRUCE did not consider that the conduct of the vicar rendered him liable to prosecution under the act spe cified. Either the first marriage was valid or not. The offence might be one against good manners and the views of man, but not against the law. NAUTICAL SCHOOLS AT GREENWICH. Sir M. PETO asked the Civil Lord of the Admiralty whether any decision had yet been come to by the Admi ralty with respect to the building for the Nautical School School at Greenwich; and whether the objects aimed at could be gained without incurring so large an outlay for additional buildings as contemplated? Mr. STANSFELD, in the first place, intimated that through a mistake in one of the Malta papers, a despatch from Admiral Codrington at Malta had not been in cluded in the correspondence on the table. The Secretary for the Admiralty had been blamed for not printing the letter, but the accident was no fault of his. The omission would be rectified without any further delay. The hon. gentleman then entered into a lengthened explanation of the steps taken with respect to the enlargement of these schools, so as to adapt them to present requirements and the health of the 800 boys. The cost of the new wing, instead of costing £25,000, would not Emceed £3,000 or £4,000, and the alterations in the chapel about £750. The boys would attend the chapel with all the other inmates of the college. THE ORDER OF ST. MICHAEL AND ST. GEORGE. Lord E. BRUCE asked whether, in the event of the withdrawal of protection from the lonian Isles, her Ma jesty would continua to confer the order of St. Michael and St. George on persons she might think proper? Mr. FORTESCUE replied that her Majesty would cer tainly continue, as heretofore, to hold the power of confer ring these honours, and it would not therefore be trans ferred to the King of Greece with the lonian Islands. PAROCHIAL ASSESSMENT. Mr. PUGH asked the President of the Poor-law Board whether it was the intention of Government to introduce next session any bill with instructions to the parochial as sessment committees, Ike. ? Mr. VILLIERS was not in a position to state what course the Government might think proper to adopt in order to procure a better assessment. Early next session, how• ever, he should be happy to intimate their intentions. ROMAN CATHOLIC BURYING GROUND AT SYDENHAM. Mr. NEWDEGATE asked the Home Secretary a ques tion relative to the Roman Catholic burying -ground at Sydenham ? Did it meet with his sanction and approval ? The hon. member enteved into a lengthy statement. Mr. BRUCE replied that an application was made in October, 1856, to the Secretary of State for a certificate for a burial ground at Sydenham for the priests and lay breth• ren of the Oratory at Brompton. The inspector reported in favour of the application, and it was granted. Subse quently some complaints were made that there was no road to the burial ground, and that it was not properly inclosed. There had, it appeared, been but three burials there. The inspector again reported that being only a private burying place, no public road was requisite, and it was surrounded by an oak paling. Mr. MONSELL stigmatised the conduct of the hon. member as insulting to the Roman Catholics. His con duct was on a piece with that which he had exhibited to wards the late Mr. Turnbull, whom he hounded to death. He spoke advisedly when he said that the anxiety and misery of mind which that gentleman suffered in conse quence of the unjust imputations cast on him by the hon. member led to his death. In alluding to this subject, he might, at least, have spared the dead. Sir G. BOWYER reiterated the opinion of the hon. member. Mr.NEWDEGATE withdrew the notice for the adjoUrn ment of the house, 'which had enabled him to enter upon his statement. The SPRAYEEt blamed the hon. member for the line of policy he had adopted, He should have brought the sub ject forward by a regular notice. (Hear, hear.) ROAD AT NIGHT THROUGH HYDE-PARL Lord R. CECIL asked the First Commissioner of Works if ho had given attention to a petition from the inhabitants of Bayswater and Kensington? Mr. 00WPER replied in the affirmative, and that it was quite impossible to grant its prayer to keep open a road up to one o'clock in the morning, because the e park . would thus be thrown open to the public, and as it consisted of 300 acres, it could not be properly watched, and certainly not lighted. HERAT. In reply to Mr. H• SzTadotrit, Mr. LAYARD said he had received a telegram stating that Herat had been taken• He had not received any news to the effect that an attempt had been made to retake it. CLONMEL AUXILIARY LUNATIC A:SYLUAL In reply to Mr. BLAME, Bir R. PEEL intimated that Dr. Edmonstone had been appointed to t he post of assistant-surgeon. BANDEE AND KIRWEE PRIZE MONEY. FITZIieERALD, In reply to Mr. S. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that the papers about to be laid on the table would afford the fullest information on this subject. The matter, as already explained by the noble lord at the head of the Government, was in abeyance. NENAGH ASSIZES. Mr. BLAKE called the attention of the Secretary for Ireland to a statement in the newspapers, saying that a man who had been charged with firing at Mr. Gore Jones had been induced, though innocent, by food and promises of money by the authorities, to sign a false statement that he was one of the guilty parties. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND com plained that the question had been put without notice to those who knew nothing about the matter. He had, how , ever, received a letter stating that the jury could not agree with respect to one man. LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the following bills were Compan ies Clauses, Railway agreed to : —Telegraphs , Clauses, and Charitable Uses. EXHIBITIOg MEDALS BILL. Mr. AYRTON moved that this bill be read a third time this day week. He stated his objections to the bill at great length, and urged the lateness of the session, and their recent acquaintance with the bill, as a reason for not agreeing to its provisions. The LORD MAYOR strongly supported the bill. Air. BUTT opposed the measure, because it would intro duce an entirely new and dangerous principle into the criminal law. _ NO. • 44.•••••••• .••• •• - COL FRENCH likewise opposed the bill, as also did Mr. J. POWELL, who had hoped that it might be amended in committee. The house divided, when there appeared — For the third reading Against Majority The bill was then read a third time and passed. _ _ Lord R. CECIL gave notice that, early next session, he should propose a standing order to prevent the surreptitious passing of bills in this way. (Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER explained that the bill was not passed in any irregular way. . Lord R. CECIL said the bill was only circulated two hours before those proceedings. (Hear, hear.) BENCHERS' JURISDICTION AND AUTHORITY BILL. On the motion of Sir G. BOWYER, the order for the second reading was discharged. The house was counted out at 6 o'clock. SECOND EDITION.

Drummond, Vice-Admiral the Hon. Sir Frederick Grey, K.C.8., Rear-Admiral Cha r l es Eden, C. 8., and other members of the Board of Admiralty, leave town to-day to make an official visit to Woolwich dockyard. In a circular just issued by the Admiralty occurs the following passage relative to the future position of masters in the navy ;—" Masters are to rank with Lieuts., according to the dates of their respec tive commissions, Lieuts. taking precedence when the commissions are dated the same day. Staff Capts. or Commanders, notwithstanding the new rank conferred on them, and Masters, are, in all matters of command, and in all details•relating to the duties of the fleet and to the discipline and interior economy of her Majesty's ships, to be held subject to the authority of Lieuts., of whatsoever seniority they may be." _ . 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 oat 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 inspected by Commodore Sir F. lNicolson, 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, a resident engineer, at Rio. The Ardent brought home a number of the officers and crew of her Majesty's store-ship Madagascar, which was sold and broken up at Rio de Janeiro. 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.

A SUPERANNUAThD POST-CEIAISE.—ii was a post-chaise taken off its axletree and wheels, 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 lon g time in those decayed circumstances, and against w hich scar let 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 some thin g , and locked u p . In the wond er of this discove r y , I walked round and round the p ost-chai se man y times, and sat down by the post - chaise, waiting for furt h er elucidation.
