IIONE MARKET ..••r•/r AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. . The Lank return attests by the state of the Teserve and the aggregate of the private securities that there was a considerable demand for money during the week. The discounts and advances have increased tllmards of eleven hundred thousand pounds ; but PnlY a part of this account has gone to swell the active th P i rculation while another p ar t h as b een rep l ace d i n e Bank i n the form of deposits. These conditions 01 P 1 y that a por ti on o f t h e securities were lodged,. in anti c ip a ti on o f an i ncrease i n the rate of discount yesterday. As this expectation was not tealised, it is probabl e th a t th e succee di ng return w i ll 6110 w a smaller increase in the securities than the present return shows, notwithstanding a continuance °f demand. The bullion has fallen off more than Ras expected, but the stock is considerably higher than twenty millions. The following are the prin e'Pal changes since the preceding return : Increase in Circulation Increase in Public Deposits Increase in other Deposits 29 . 2,152 No change in amount of government Securities.

Meat—There wore good supplies at market this morn ing, and rather a slow trade in cohsequence of the warm weal her, but salesmen were not disposed to take lower rates. We quote—Beef, 3s 4d to 4s 4d ; mutton, 33 8d to Is 61 ; veal, 4s to 4s 8d ; pork, 4s to 4s 85 ; lamb, 5s 8d to is 45 per stone of 81b by the carcase. Poultry—Prices are kept up to our Into quotations, by short supplies, but the trade is dull. Eggs remain at Gs. Gd. ; per 12s. for best French ; Bs. for best English ; and 2s. Gd. per dozen for plover. The weather continues very fine, and whilst it keeps up the favourable prospect of the crops tends to increase the quiet in the trade. CORN MARKET. The country markets for wheat aro inactive, whilst in somo cases prices are firm. At Mark-lane this morning the attendance was small, and although the supplies were not heavy the tone was dull. The small quantity of English wheat was purchased sparingly, at about late rates. _ ()reign wheat met very little inquiry, and quotations were nominal. Easier rates would have been requisite to induce purchases. Flour sold in retail at prices the turn in favour of bu 3 ers. Barley, beans, and peas unchanged. Oats in small sup ply, and firm, with a quiet sale. COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. SuGAR.--Demand is moderate, and prices are supported, supplies on offer being moderate. Refined sugars not active, but well maintained. COFFEE. • - There is scarcely any change to notice. Sup plies continue liberal, and the proportion of good and find colours qualities of colonial still meet a good competition ; whilst pale and indifferent descriptions sell slowly at prices favouring buyers. ROYAL NATIONAL LIFEBOAT INSTITUTION. Yesterday a meeting of this institution was held at its house. John-street, Adelphi, his Grace the Duke of Northumberland, P.C., in the chair. There wore also present Sir Edward Perrott, Bart., Rear-Admiral Tarleton, C. 8., Controller- General of the Coastguard ; Thomas Chapman, Etq., F.R.S., Captain Da St. Croix, Admiral Nl'llerdy, W. H. , , Marton, Esq., Richard Lewis, Esq , and Capt. Ward, R.N. The minutes of the previous meeting having been read, a reward of £7 103. was voted to pay the expenses of the lifeboat of the institution at Withernsea in going off twice on the 7th ult., and bringing ashore through a very heavy sea the crews of nine men of two Withernsea fishing boats, which had been previously warned off the shore, as it was not safe for them to attempt to take the land. A reward of £lO 7s. 6d. was likewise voted to pay the expenses of the institution's lifeboat at Cromer, in putting off on the 9th ult., during a heavy N.E. gale, and rescuing the crew of five men of the brig entitle Agenorin, of Lowestoft, which wan wrcckccl opposite Cromer gangway. A reward of £5 10s. was also voted to pay the expenses of the society's life boat at Blakeney in going off, in reply to signals of distress during a strong N.E. gale, and saving the crew of three men of the sloop Richard of Goole, which had stranded on the West Saud, about half a mile from the harbour on the Bth ult. A reward of £8 Bs. was likewise voted to pay the expenses of the Ayr lifeboat of the institution, in putting off on the 29th ult., and saving the crew of five men of the schooner John G. Wade, of Newry, which, during a heavy N.W. gale, had stranded off Troon harbour. A reward of £4 10s. was also voted to the crew of the institution's life boat at Moelfre, for going off during a strong easterly wind and rescuing two men from the smack Cymro, of Amlwch, which had exhibited signals of distress, and afterwards became a total wreck in Moelfre Bay, on the Bth ult. It was reported that the society's lifeboat at Pakefield had gone out on the same day during a very strong north east gale, and had taken off part of the crew of the brigantine Douglas, of Guernsey, which had sprung a leak and exhibited distress signals in Pakefield Roads. The lifeboat afterwards returned to the vessel, and with the assistance of a steam-tug she was freed from water and t a k en i nto L owestoft harbour. The institution's lifeboat at Howth was likewise the means, after some difficulty, of b • ring ieg safely into the harbour the brig Arran, of Irvine, which had stranded on the bank between the main and Ireland Eye, off Howth, on the 19th ult. The society's lifeboat at Barmouth had also assisted into harbour the schooner Dasher, o f Amlwch, which was i n great distress near the St. Patrick's Causeway on the 22d ultimo. The crew of the vessel expressed their thanks to the lifeboat men for going out to th em , as th ey were quite ignorant of their position, and would have been unable to weigh anchor without some assistance. Rewards were also granted to the crews of the lifeboats of the institution at Hun stanton, Wexford, Worthing, Aberystwith, Camp beltown, and Mullion, for various serv i ces to di s t resse d vessels during the recent gales. Various other rewards were also granted to the crews of different shore boats for saving life from shipwreck on our coasts. Altogether, the in titution this year has contributed to the rescue of 361 lives from shipwrecks on our coasts, in addition to having saved eight vessels from destruction. Payments amounting to £1,600 were likewise ordered to be made on various lifeboat establishments. The committee expressed their deep abhorrence and in dignation at the attempt recently made in a distant colony on the life of his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh, and an earnest hope that his Royal Highness would soon be restored to perfect health. A benovoleut lady had given the institution the cost of the Lowestoft lifeboat, through Miss Prince and Mrs. Pilgrim, of Brixton. Th e employes of Messrs. S.lNorthcote and Co., of St. Paul's-churchyard, having given an entertain ment in aid of the lifeboat fund, Mr. R. Frank land had, on their behalf, forwarded the society a contribution of £27 10s. 103. Lieutenant Ker, R.N.R., had also sent the institution an additional sum of £5, being the amount he had collected from the officers and passengers of the Royal mail steamship Briton on her last voyage to the Cape. It was also reported that legacies had recently been bequeathed to the institution, by the late Felix Slade, Esq., of Lambeth, £3OO ; the late R. S. Fydell, Esq., of Rutland, £100; the late Mr. Geo. Berger, of Newcastle-street, Strand, £lO 103. ; and £2O by the late Mr. Edward Davies, of the same street. It is reported that the institution had sent new lifeboats during the past mouth to Broad stairs, Kent, and Pennon, Anglesey. The last named boat was exhibited at Settle en route to its station. Reports were real from Cai)t. Ward, R.N., the inspector, and Capt. D. Robertson, R.N., the assistant inspector of lifeboats to the institution, on their recent visits to the coasts. The committee expressed their deep regret at the death of Mr. Thomas Forrest, who had been the able and intelli gent lifeboat builder of this institution during the past 1G years. The Duke of Northumberland pre sented an additional contribution of £lOO to the in stitution. The proceedings then terminated. L CIEs LEASED AT FIXED RENTALS. Vale of Neath, 06 FOREIGN RAIL WAYS.

(Sittings in Banco, beforMr. Justice Blackburne - - - e: and Justices Mellor and Lush.) _ THE JAMAICA OUTBREAK.-TIIE PROSECUTION OF EX-GOVERNOR EYRE. It will be recollected that a few days ago a rule nisi was granted to show cause in the matter of the prosecution of Mr. Eyre. Mr. Powell, Q.C., now showed cause against the rule, and stated that the whole argument turned upon the question as to whether in this matter the Court of Queen's Bench was a Court of Oyer and Terminer or not. He did not, of course, want to contend that the Court of Queen's Bench had not the functions of a court of Oycr and Terminer, but he argued that those functions could only be exercised when they were sitting as Justices of Oyer and Terminer. They were supreme coroners, but only so when sitting as coroners. Mr. Justice Blackburn thought that the term Oyer and Terminer applied to them. Mr. Powell said that by the way it was laid down it seemed that it was not so. There was an Act, 59 George 111., chap. 69, which enacted that a per son accused of any offence in England could be brought to Middlesex, the venue being changed, and brought up at the next gaol delivery of Oyer and Terminer. He said that the statutes showed that the terms Courts of Oyer and Terminer applied to the General Court of Quarter Sessions and the courts of the counties palatine, and not to a supreme court like that of the Queen's Bench. There was a case in vol. 5 " Coll's Reports," in which a Scotch nobleman named Lord Sankeld had employed some one to murder a man named Turner. This nobleman was afterwards to be tried as an accessory, and it was then ordered that he should be tried at the next delivery in sessions of Oyer and Terminer. One argument in favour of the pupposition that the Court of Queen's Bench was not such a court, was that commissions for sit tings of Oyer and Terminer were issued, and that they were terminable, and the period that they sat was uncertain. Mr. Justice Lush—We only sit in term. Mr. Powell—But your lordships' Court is a per manent one, although terminable. lie then quoted several authorities, and concluded by stating that he left the matter in their lordships' hands. Mr. Justice Blackburn said that they need not call upon the other side to support the rule, as they con sidered that the rule must be made absolute, inas much as that the magistrate should investigate into the allegation, and then return the depositions to the next general sittings of the Court of Queen's Bench. 1 1 11IRD EDITION.

OLD COURT. THE CASE OF THOMAS EDGELEY AND THE LEEDS BANK. It was arranged on Wednesday last that the trial of Edgeley for ►misdemeanour should take place this morning, but on the defendant surrendering Mr. Sergeant Ballantine made an application for further postponement. It had been found, he said, notwith standing the utmost exertion, impossible to obtain the presence of a very material witness the defen dant desired to call. This witness was a gentleman of the name of Udall, who was now absent spend ing his honeymoon, and it was luite impossible to communicate with him since the arrangement for the trial was made. The charge he (Sergeant Ballan tine) thought he should to have meet, in the first instance, was that of forgery, but it appeared the prosecution had thought proper in a measure to abandon that, and elect to proceed on th,3 indictment for misdemeanour. The first charge he was quite prepared to go on with, but as it was impossible at that session for him to call evidence that would contradict that brought forward by the prosecution in the case of alleged misdemeanour, he had to ask that the trial might be postponed until next session. Mr. Giffard strongly opposed the application. They had a large number of witnesses from Leeds and other places iu attendance, and ttit) expense of the prosecution up to the present time was very great. Further postponement would increase that expense, and under all the circumstances of the case he hoped the application would not be acceded to. After some further discussion between the learned counsel, Mr. Baron Channel! said he was very anxious not to further postpone the case, considering the length of time it had already been in the Court, but as the issue had been altered by the prosecutor, and the defendant had stated that such an arrangement had come upon him as a surprise, and also that ho was unable at that moment to bring forward a material witness to disprove some of the most important allegations of the prosecution, he felt he ought, though with great reluctance, to grant the request of the learned coun sel for the defendant, and therefore the case would stand adjourned until next session. NEW COURT. Frederick Curtis and William Stevens were in dicted with burglariously breaking and entering the dwelling-house of flelen Hancock and stealing her property. The jury found the prisoners guilty. The learned Judge sentenced Curtis to nine months' imprisonment and Stevens to seven years' penal servitude. The men named Tedman, Algor, and Cumming were also indicted for burglary, but a verdict of not guilty was returned. POLICE I NTELLIGENCE.-THIS DAY. MA RLBOROUGH-STREET. KNOCKER W RENCIIING.—John Hubert Bell, of No. 12, Buckingham-street, Pimlico, clerk, and W. George Towers, of No. 18, Bywater-street, Chelsea, described as of no occupation, were charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with having in their possession two knockers supposed to be stolen. Sergeant Hagen, 113 — AB, said that about a quarter to four o'clock that morning he was on duty in the Haymarket, and saw the prisoners and two women at the corner of Port man-street. The prisoners afterwards went into a Hansom cab, and from what a woman told him he was induced to ask if they had got any knockers about them. They denied having any, and he then told the prisoners to get out of the cab, and at that moment Bell dropped a knocker. He told Bell that he should take him into cuetody for having the knocker in his possession, and on the way to the station, in consequence of what the woman told him, he also charged Towers with a similar offence. On searching Boil at the station he found another knocker upon him, one of the knockers having been taken from the door of No. 21, Bendon street, and the other from that of No. 9, Green atreet. In answer to Mr. D'Eyncourt, the sergeant said that Bell was intoxicated, but that Towers was sober. Bell said that he believed all that was stated was correct. He was going home, and a friend gave him the knockers to take home as a present. Towers said he knew nothing about the knockers. He followed his friend to the station, and was then charged. Dirs. L. Davis, of 21, Oxendon-street, identified a knocker produced as her property, and said she was aroused by loud knocking, and Mrs. E. Wal ston proved having the knocker on her door broken and being disturbed, and the former said that she had also had her brass-plate injured. Sergeant Ilagen said the knockers of other houses had been damaged. Bell said the knockers were given to him as he was getting into a cab. Towers said he believed some of their friends took off the knockers, but not him. Bell said he had paid for one knocker to a land lord of a house. Mr. D'Eyneourt said that he thought such amuse ment was a poor and wretched one, and was obso lete. Bell would have to pay £5 fine and ss. costs for the unlawful possession, and might have been charged with stealing the knockers. The other prisoner would be discharged.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. RITUALISM The Earl of SHAFTESBURY asked where the report of the Royal Commission on Ritualism was, And if it had been nouneedsome days ago. The Earl of MALMEgBUrtY said that it had not yet all Neon sent to the printer. (Laughter.) NON-ENACTMENT OF THE APPROPRIATION ACT IN VICTORIA. _ Lord LYVEDEN said that it was with the utmost difficulty, so much was the public mind occupied with other exciting topics, that he could arrange to bring on this important matter. He might perhaps be permitted to state what was the position of the colony of Victoria with regard to the mother country. It was first male a separate colony in 1850. In 1864 Sir Charles Darling, who was then governor, introduced a bill called' the Ap propriation Act. A long discussion took place upon the subject, and ended in the recall of that governor. He had served 18 years, and he wished as far as possible to show how much he was entitled to consideration in the matter. It would be remembered that the Government took from him the sum of £20,000, and Sir Charles acted with the greatest propritty. He courted the fullest inquiry into the matter. Sir Charles comes home, and enters into a correspondence with the noble lord the Secretary of State for the Colonies. He proposes thathe should have a perma nent pension, or that there should be given to him another appointment, or that the money given to him by the colony should be deposited until a thorough investigation had taken place, but this the noble lord refused to comply with. It was stated that no colonial governor should receive pecuniary consideration from the people of the colony during his term of office. It further was stated that no colonial governor should, 'whale he quitto I his office, receive any present front the people of the colony over which he ruled, and although the Colonial-office ruled a gentleman who was about t 3 quit the st twice, still it was advisable that he should not do so. It would have been far more advantageous that Sir Charles should have accepted the £2,000 at once, and quitted the service. He was a man of 60 years of age, and he would have had about £lO,OOO more than by re maining in office for another three years. The noble duke (Buckingham) succeeded the Earl of Carnarvon as Secre tary of State for the Colonies. It was alleged by Sir H. Sutton in brief, to his grace that the Legislative Assembly ha I not discussed the merits of this vote. Why, they bad been discussing nothing else than this vo'e to Lady Dar ling. It was well known and in everybody's mouth. The noble duke upon this abstained from expresing any opi nion, but contents himself with commending the conduct of the Governor. He considered that the ncble duke did not submit thoroughly his own opinions to the governor of the colony. How stood the question? The Legislative Assembly seemed of much the same mind as before the election had taken place. Be had seen in the newspapers that the Ministry had resigned, that showed the bad effect of the measures taken by the noble duke, if he had been more explicit they would have known what to do. What he wanted now to know of the noble duke was the course about to be pur sued. Ho should ask for the correspondence on the sub ject of the non-enactment cf the Appropriation Act. The noble lord then commented upon the Inconsistency of the instructions which had been given by the noble duke to the Government of the colony. He considered that the Secre tary of State ought to have been most explicit in the matter. • The Duke of BUCKINGHAM said that he quite agreed with the noble lord that the question was of the utmost importance, and affected the whole of the colonial interests of, this country. The ono portiou of the subject affected the interests of the Colonial Government of the various countries, and the other the liciuour and dignity of the officers of the colonial service. Oa the one side they had a distinguished Governor of the Crown, whoso services were much valued ! and to whom a grant was about to be mAcle. He thought there could be no doubt of the impropriety of this grant. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tins EVENING. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. EDUCATION IN SCOTLAND. In reply to Admiral ERSKINE, The LORD-ADVOCATE said it was not the intention of the Government to bring in any measure on the sub ject of Scotch Education during the present session. BREECH-LOADERS IN THE ARMY. Mr. HA YTER asked the Secretary of State for War whether, having regard to the increased danger to life from the use of breech-loaders in the hands of soldiers either insane or of intemperate habits, as evidehced by the recent occurrences at Horfield Barracks, near Bristol, ho would undertake to advise with his Royal Highness the Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief as to the propriety of withdrawing the 20 rounds of ball cart ridge now in the possession of all non-commissioned offi cers and men of the British army, and of serving out the same to the troops on parade when about to proceed on military duty. Sir J. PAKINGTON said he had not had an opportu nity of consulting the Commander-in-Chief on the subject, but he might take that opportunity of saying that he did not think that one crime, however atrocious, would be sufficient to justify the doing of that which would be looked upon as a slur upon the whole British army. The soldiers had had the quantity of ball cartridge in their possession from time immemorial, and at present he saw no reason why it should be withdrawn from their care. (Hear, hear.) THE SPRINGBOK. In reply to Mr. BENTINCK, Lord STANLEY said the papers referring to the con demnation of the cargo of the Springbok were now under the consideration of the law officers of the Crown, but he hoped to be able to produce them very shortly. PA 1' OF THE ARMY. Mr. P. WYNDHAM . moved that, in the opinion of this house, it would be advantageous and convenient to substi tute a system of weekly in lieu of daily payments to those non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the army whose previous conduct might warrant the extension of this in dulgence. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the subject was one entirely within the discretion of his Royal Highness the Com mander-in-Chief, and therefore he could not interfere in the matter. The motion was then withdrawn. PUBLIC BUSINESS. —THE SCOTCH REFORM BILL. Mr. GLADSTONE said it would be for the convenience of the house if the right hon. gentleman would state the order he proposed to take the public business on Monday next. Supply stood first, and after that the Scotch Reform Bill stood for a second reading, but the hon. member for Liverpool had a motion previous to the house going into committee of supply which would occupy at least two or three hours. The discussion on the estimates would doubtless occupy some considerable time, so that it did not seem that the Scotch Reform Bill would be considered until a very late hour, a circumstance that would be highly inconvenient if the orders were adhered to. Mr. DISRAELI said he had just then been speaking to a right hon. gentlemen on the subject. Ile did not think that the Scotch Reform bill ought to be taken at a later hour, and therefore he proposed to place it the second in order on Thursday, the Boundary Bill standing first for that evening. Mr.CRAWFORD thought such an important measure as the Scotch Reform Bill ought not to be placed second on the paper. Mr. DISRAELI thought the best thing he could do at present was to say the Scotch bill would not be brought forward on Monday, and to defer any future arrangement until after that day. INFECTIOUS DISEASES. Sir J. O. JEjtVOlSEmovedtl;a7an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be graci ously pleased to cause such inquiry to be instituted into the spread of disease by infection as may tend to check legislation and action in cases unsupported by evidence. Mr. LIDDELL seconded the motion. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS-LAST EVENING. THE IRISH °HUM H. A long and animated discussion followed, on a resolution moved by Mr. S. ATTOUN and seconded by Mr. LAMONT, declaring that, "when the Anglican Church in Ireland is disestablished and disondowed, the grant to Maynooth and the Regium Donum shall be discontinued; and that no part of the secularized funds of the Anglican Church, or any State funds whatever, b,3 applied in any way, or under any form, to the endowment or furtherance of the Roman Catholic religion in Ireland, or to the establishinorrt or maintenance Roman Catholic denominational schools or colleges." Mr. BRIGHT strongly opposed it on account of its ab stract character, which would in no way pledge any future Parliament, and argued that, if carried out, it must destroy the denominational system of education in Ireland. Sir J. FERG'USSON insisted that the disposal of the funds taken from the _lrish Church was an all-important branch of the subject, on which the house had a right to bo fully informed, and suggested the omission from the motion of the portion relating to the Regium Donum and the Maynooth grant. Sir G. GREY pointed out that the Resolution would in volve most embarrassing consequences, inasmuch as it would. put a stop to 'grants to Roman Catholic denomina tional schools, and for Roman Catholic army and gaol chaplains. Why should the Roman 04tholics alone be placed under such a ban ? Mr. WYNDHAM also oppcsad the Resolution, be lieving that it would render 7alueless the sacrifice of the Establishment. Mr. GLADSTONE repeated, with marked emphasis, his declaration made in the first debate, that the Maynooth Grant and the Regiurn Donum must both be abolished, but he strongly protested.against pledging the house before the time to opinions to which practical effect could not be given. Groat confusion and danger to the important en terprise on which the house was engaged, ha pointed out, would result from straying away from the main point, and more particularly ha objected to voting for a re solution which singled out one particular form of religion, and stig matized it with six-Till condemnation. Ultimately Mr. S. Aytoun's resolution was rejected by 198 to 85, all the members of the Cabinet leaving the house and declining to vote in the division. Mr. Whitbread's amendment was then put, and Mr. Gladstone proposed to add to it the words, "due regard being had to all personal interests." In the course of the somewhat heated and con fused conversation which followed, Mr. AYRTON reficcted with considerable acrimony on the conduct of the Government, and Mr. DISRAELI, in defending himself, characterized the discussion as a "quarrel over the plunder." Mr. GLADSTONE'S addition having been agreed to, Mr. GREENE thereupon moved the addition of words declaring that no part of the endowment of the Irish Church shall be applied to the endowment of the institu tions of any other religious body. Mr. BRIGHT repeated his former objection that such a pledge would destroy the denominational system, on which alone, unfortunately, education could be conducted in Ireland; and Mr. Gladstone demanded that a longer notice should be given. There was another discursive conversation on the words, including another warm skirmish between Sir G. Grey and the Premier AB to the duties of the Government and leader of the house on such occasions; and, finally, Mr. Greene's addendum was nega tived by 132 to 97, and Mr. Whitbread's resolution (as amended by Mr. Gladstone) was agreed to. On the motion that the Chairman report progress, Mr. DISRAELI remarked that the events of . the even ing were a signal proof that those who had introduced the re.olutions had introduced the elements of confusion into the country. Mr. BRIGHT, as a reply to this "parting shot," as he termed it, pointed out to Mr. Disraeli that the events of the evening also showed how little chance of success his policy of endowing the Roman Catholic Church was likely to have. Without making a direct charge against Mr. Disraeli, ho inveighed in vigorous and incisive language against a Minister who could deceive his Sovereign in such a crisis, and declared that to put the Sovereign to the front in a great struggle like this was a grave political crime. Lord J. MANNERS replied to Mr. Bright, and, deny ing that the Government had contemplated endowment of the Roman Catholics, he taunted Mr. Bright with having just given a vote for retaining the power of transferring the property of the Church to the Roman Catholic Church. Mr. GLADSTONE read, for Lord John Manners's in formation, a passage from Lord Mayo's speech, in which he contended the policy of endowing the Roman Catholic clergy was clearly foreshadowed. He put a different cm struction ou the vote just given, maintaining that the effect of the proposal against which Mr. Bright had voted would be to perpetuate religious inequality. As to Mr. Disraeli's language, he never heard such from a Prime Minister before. Mr. DISRAELI xepeated that the history of the even ing was as indication of the confusion which existed on this question, and vindicated his language as sensible and appropriate t..) the occasion. Turning to Mr. Bright, ho indignantly defied him to put his insinuations into the shape of a formal charge, and appealed with confidence to the verdict of "gentlemen" (laying a - marked stress on the word) on both sides. This brought a stormy scene to a close, and, the Speaker being in the chair, the resolutions were agreed to by the House, amid loud and prolonged cheering. The next business was the Irish Reform Bill, the second reading of which was moved by Lord MAYO. Mr. C. FORTE3OUE intimated that he should not oppose the second reading, but very considerable changes would be moved in committee. The county franchise must be brought down to £3, and the redistribution scheme must be entirely remodelled. The same course was taken by Col. French, Mr. Pim, Sir J. Gray, Dr. Brady, and other Irish members who spoke, supporting the second reading, but criticising the details of the measure, and promising further discussion and numerous amendments in committee. The Earl of AIAYO made a short roply, and the bill was read a second time. Sonic other bills wero forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at 20 minutes past 1 o'clock. BANK OF FRANCE.
