The sharp reaction which took place last night after regular hours o❑ a recovery in Paris prices has been supported this morning, in spite of the market being, to some extent, against any further rise in the funds.

The gold taken to the Bank yesterday was £90,000, making £602,000 since the last return. There seems to be no reason to doubt that, in spite of the dissent of a small minority of creditors, Mr. M'llenry's affairs will be settled upon the basis of ultimate payment in full, 6s 8d to be paid within two years.

Messrs. Satterthwaite's weekly circular has the fol t'lving :—The past week has been somewhat broken by the Whitsuntide holidays, and consequent absence of many members of the Stock Exchange still there has b een a decided tendency to improvement in many American securities ordinarily dealt in on the London market. United States 5-20's advanced yesterday to 1 3, but have to-day reacted to 72b to 72i in sympathy w ith the decline reported on the New York market Yesterday ; the 1865 issue leave off 71i to 71g. Eries are without change at about 46, but for Illinois Central shares there has been a good demand, with a co mparatively short supply, which has enhanced the Price to 97f to 97/. The later weekly traffics of the Atlantic and Great Western have been considered di sappointing, and the Consolidated Bonds have receded to 31 to 32, and the Debentures to 27i to 28k. The following is Messrs. Durant and Co.'s silk circular for the past month :—" We have to report a quiet market in silk during the whole of the last four Weeks. This was not matter of surprise in the early days of the month, when all was looking favourable as to the crop in Europe, and all indulged in the hope and expectation that it would he more or less in excess of last year—but all these ideas have been gradually given up, and the question now seems to be bow near it will approach last year, and the cost is expected to be largely in excess ; still we have no business.

LOOKING FOR THE BAGATELLE BOARD. — TWO sus picious-looking fellows, named Charles Smith and George Jones, were charged before Mr. Knox with being found in the house of Mr. George Fraser, the Running Horse, Piccadilly, supposed for the pur pose of committing a felony. Mr. Fraser said that about a quarter past 12 the previous night the prisoners walked through his house into the yard, and in five minutes afterwards hearing a noise he went there, and found that a ladder kept in the place bad been raised against one of the windows. Not seeing the prisoners, he made a search, and found Jones in the coal-hole, and on going up stairs found Smith on the first floor landing, having got there through the window by means of the ladder. On asking Jones what business be had in the coal-hole, he said he took it for a closet, and Smith said he was looking for the bagatelle board. He told Smith that the way to get to the bagatelle board was not by means of the ladder, and gave the prisoners into custody. In answer to Smith, the prosecutor said that he did not see him go up the ladder, but that he could not get where he was by any other means without being seen. Mr. Knox asked the prosecutor whether the pri soners were drunk or sober, and he said they were sober, but shammed drunkenness. Felix M.'Mahon, 165 C, said that on taking the prisoners into custody Smith said that he was only looking for the bagatelle board. Mr. Knox said ho bad no doubt the prisoners' object was to steal the bagatelle balls, and he should convict them as rogues and ♦agabonds for three months each with hard labour. The WESTMINSTER. SINGULAR APPLICATION.—VERY SPOONET. —A very respectable, quiet-looking young man entered the court this morning, and, addressing Mr. Arnold, said, " I wish to inform your worship that I have been married three months." Mr. Arnold—lndeed. Applicant—Yes, sir, that's the time. Mr. Arnold—Well, I hope your happy. Applicant—No, sir, rat not, and that's the reason I have come here. Mr. Arnold—l am sorry for that. Applicant—My wife has left me. She has de serted me and taken all my property—everything 1 possessed. Can't I manage that? Can't I take it back ? Mr. Arnold—lf you can find it. Applicant—lf other people have got possession of my property can't I recover it ? Mr. Arnold—Certainly you can. Applicant—Do you know I don't think she would have deserted me if she had been left to herself. Mr. Arnold—Don't you ? Applicant—No ; I don't. I think it was entirely from the influence her friends possessed over her. We seemed to be very comfortable ourselves at first. You see they keep my property. Mr. Arnold - You can recover that, as I have told you. Applicant—But they keep my wife, too. How am I to recover her ? Mr. Arnold—You must go to another court for that, and sue her f9r a restitution of conjugal rights. It is rather an expensive process. Applicant—ls it? lam very sorry for that. I want to ask your worship another question, if you will be good enough to answer it. Can't I detain what few things she has left at my house ? Mr. Arnold—All your wife's property is yours. Applicant—Then I can detain it ? Mr. Arnold—Certainly. Applicant—l'm very much obliged to you. Mr. Arnold—Your wife's property is yours unless vested in trustees, and when it comes into her pos session it becomes yours. Applicant—Thank you, sir ; I am sure she would not have left me but for her friends. THAMES. A BRACE OF BLACKGUARDS.—George Fin ister and John Skinner, two rough-looking fellows, were brought before Mr. Benson, charged with upsetting a perambulator in Strathmore-terrace, Shadwell, and injuring a child. Mark Dickson, of No. 5, Vine-street, Brook street, Ratcliff, saw a little girl with a diseased spine in a perambulator, and another girl wheeling the machine along the street. The prisoners came along the street rolling drunk, noisy, and using offensive language. They upset the perambulator, and the little invalid fell out and was hurt. H e expostulated with the prisoners, and they laughed at him, and capsized the perambulator twice after wards. He then called the police, and gave the prisoners in custody. Other witnesses gave similar evidence, and it was clear the child in the perambulator was injured. The father of the child said he wished the pri soners to go free. Mr. Benson said the father of the little girl pre ferred the charge at the station-house, and might have withdrawn it there. He should act on the charge. He was of opinion that the prisoners bad been guilty of very brutal and disgraceful conduct. He fined the prisoners 21s. each, and in default 14 days' imprisonment. On the occasion of the Emperor's visit to Rouen, his Majesty, as at Orleans, left in the hands of the authorities 10,000 f. for the local charitable institu tions and for the old men wearing the St. Helena medals. He also promoted ten persons to the rank of Officer in the Legion of Honour, and named 39 to be Knights of the same order. For the next ten years Austria proposes to have a million of men always available for purposes of war. That is to say, 800,000 soldiers and 200,000 Landwehr or militia. These are the Government proposals ; they have yet to be submitted to the Diet and the Reichsrath. - THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 4, 1865, LAW INTELLIGENCE.-IIIIS DAY. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary and a Special Jury.) DERING V DERING AND BLAKELEY-TIIE QUEEN'S PROCTOR INTERVENING. This petition, which was originally heard last year, was presented by the husband, Mr. Dering, a son of Sir Edward Dering, for dissolution of marriage. The respondent previous to her mar riage with Mr. Dering was the wife of Lord Forth, and the evidence that was offered on the occasion was sufficient to lead to order a decree nisi. Cir cumstances, however, had led the Queen's Proctor to intervene to prevent the decree being male final, and it was now offered on the ground of connivance, negligence, and undue exposure of the wife. The Attorney and Solicitor-General appeared for the Queen's Proctor, and Sergeant Parry and Mr. MOntagu,Claaalbers for other parties interestel. The first witness was Jane Thake, a lady's maid, who had lived with Mr. and Mrs. Deriug at their residence in Bolton-row. She said the visits of Captain Blakeley were very frequent, and that Mr. Dering was much away from home. She recollected Mr. aid Mrs. Dering going a trip up the Mediterranean in Captain Blake ley's yacht. She (witness) went with them. Captain Blakeley's cabin was between those of Mr. and Mrs. Dering, as they did not sleep together during the voyage. She observed that Mrs. Dering's cabin door was partially open during the night. The Judge—Possibly to get air. Witness (continued)—Her (witness's) cabin was near Mrs. Dering's, but she never saw Captain Blakeley actually inside Mrs. Dering's cabin, but the Captain and Mrs. Dering were always together on board the yacht walking about. Mr. Dering generally was with the sailors forward, whilst the Captain and Mrs. Dering were together. On the return of the yacht the parties all came to London. By Mr. Montagu Chambers—She acted as lady's maid to Mrs. Dering, who was a very young and handsome woman. She had been told by Mrs. Dering to watch for the coming of Capt. Blakeley. There was nothing secret about his visits to Bolton-row. She continued her duties as lady's maid on board the yacht. She used to retire to rest about two in the morning, but witness used not to sit up for her. Mr. Dering used to drink very much on board the yacht, and was frequently the worse for drinking. Wh en h e was so he used to walk about, and talk, and laugh. When they lived in Bolton-row Mr. Dering used to return home intoxicated. tars. Blakeley used to visit at Bolton-row, but never after the quarrel, By the Judge—There were two berths in the lady's cabin, but nobody slept in the other berth. By Sergeant Parry—Captain Blakeley used to visit Bolton-row from Christmas until they went on board the yacht. Mrs. Blakeley and the captain had dined at Bolton-row twice. A number of gentlemen used to dine at Bolton-row about twice a week. She knew Mr. Bering and Capt. Blakeley were members of the Army and Navy Club, and also that Mr. Bering used to go card-playing at the club in the afternoon, but she could not say that Mr. Bering was always absent from home between ten and twelve in the evening. She did net know that Captain Blakeley used to come to the house on the occasion of dinner parties after the guests and Mr. Bering had gone out. She never received any particular orders to admit Captain Blakeley, but it was well known that he was a fre quent visitor at the house. Captain Blakeley and Mrs. Bering were now abroad. She had fre quently beard Mrs. Bering tell her husband that Captain Blakeley had called. She had also heard her tell her of things Captain Blakeley had informed her of over night. Charles Smith, butler iu the service of Mr. Bering, said at the time they went to live at. Bolton-row Capt. Blakeley used to come there very frequently. The Derings usually breakfasted between 11 and 12, and Capt. Blakeley used to come after that fre quently twice a day, and stayed and took tea with Mrs. Bering. On one occasion he had seen Mrs. Bering fastening up her hair when he went in to remove the tea-things, and Captain Blakeley was also somewhat embarrassed. Ile (witness) had frequently picked up hair pins on the floor. Mr. Bering used to be very much from home, and as a rule Captain Blakeley and Mrs. _Bering always seemed very familiar, ani they talked more together than the other people who came there. By Sergeant Parry—He did not know that Mr. Dering was usually absent from home at day time. He always thought that Mr. Dering seemed very fond of his wife. Sanders, the butler who lived at Bolton-row until the departure for a trip up the Mediterranean, also spoke to the frequency of the ♦isits of Captain Blakeley. He never came home whilst the Captain was there, but when other visitors came he bad received orders not to admit them. The Captain used to come nearly every evening and re • main until twelve o'clock at night. No other visitors were admitted during these hours. Mr. Dering used to ask, when he returned home, whether Captain Dering had been there, and he was always told he had been. By the Judge—lie never made any remark about it. By Mr. Sergeant Parry—Mr. Dering always treated his wife with kindness, but he should say she had great influence over her husband. He should say he must have been aware of the frequent visits of Capt. Blakeley, but he felt sure he never sus pected the honour of Capt. Blakeley. He could see that Mr. Dering was being deceived by the clandestine manner in which Mrs. Deriug and Capt. Blakeley met. The case was proceeding when we went to press. M. GUSTAVE DORE.—This distinguished French artist, whose works have obtained a popularity beyond all precedent, is at present in London, and yesterday paid a visit to the studio of Mr. John Watkins in Parliament street, when several excellent photographs of the great painter were taken which will shortly be published. We learn with pleasure that the Duke of 'Wel lington has most kindly granttd the nse of the Waterloo Gallery at Apsley House to the Working Men's Club and Institute Union, for a reading by the Rev. J. M. Bellew on the 18th of June next. Mr. Bellow has placed his services at tha disposal of the council of the union on this occa sion to enable them to raise funds in aid of two of the valuable institutions in London which it is the useful pur pose of that society to promote. The North Eastern Correspondence publishes soint - , curious information relative to the present attitude of Russia in the North Schleswig ques tion. It says that in a recent interview with the Danish envoy at St. Petersburg, Prince Gortcha koff warmly expressed the displeasure of his Go vernment at the conduct of Denmark in this matter, which, he said, seemed to be prompted by the tope of a French intervention in her favour. Alluding to the journey of General Raasloff to Paris, the Prince observed that, even if such a step were regarded as having no political charac ter, it placed Denmark in a false position, and he therefore wished to expose clearly to the Danish Cabinet the policy of Russia in the question. The Prince then recalled the traditional sympathies of Russia for Denmark, which had only lately been strengthened by two matrimonial alliances between the reigning families of those countries, and pointed out the advantages which had been secured to Denmark by the treaty of Prague. The Danish ambassador here objected that Prussia did not seem disposed to carry out the treaty ; but the Prince rejoined that the reason of this was that Denmark had based upon the treaty exagge rated thmands which could not be accepted by the Prussian Government. As for a French inter vention, this could under no circumstances be al lowed, as France had no right to interfere in an affair which concerned only Austria, Prussia, and Denmark. At the same time he was aware that, notwithstanding all her pacific relations, France continued to maintain an antagonistic attitude towards Prussia, and Russia would therefore use all her influence to prevent any new complications arising from this question. She would even, if necessary, give the most energetic assistance to Prussia. The Prince concluded by urging on the Danish ambassador the necessity of his Govern ment coming to an understanding with that of Prussia, and offered to assist in facilitating an arrangement between the two countries, BRIGH7 AT LIVERPOOL. Li VERPOOL, Wednesday. Mr. Bright having accepted an invitation from the Welsh National Reform Association to visit Liverpool during the annual gathering which is called at Whitsuntide in this town, was present this evening at a crowded meeting in the Amphitheatre. Mr. W. Williams, a member of the Liverpool Town Council, occupied the chair, and the meeting was composed chiefly of natives of the Principality, At one time apprehensions were entertained of a seri ous disturbance, inasmuch as it was alleged that some of the Orange Lodges had been issuing tickets closely ref,embling the original, but very efficient measures were promptly taken by the local autho rities, and. the proceedings passed off. with the ut most - tranquillity. Mr. bright, who was accom panied by his host, Mr. S. N. Ratlibone, and .a number of the leafing Liberali of Liverpool and its neighoourhood, met with a most enthusiastic re ception. The CIIAIRNIAN briefly opened the proceedings, stating that he regarded the meeting rather as a na tional than a local one. lle called upon all Welsh men to arouse themselves from the political apathy which had 'hitherto characterised them, and to agi tate for an increased representation for the princi pality of 11. ales. : Under the existing arrangements the hills and the mountains were well represented, but the existence of a Welsh people was utterly ignored. (Cheers.) The Rev. IL Ricliaßbs moved the first resolu tion :—'"fhat this meeting of the Welsh Reform Association cordially approves the principles of jus tice contained in the resolutions for the disestablish ment of the Irish Church, lately carried in the House of Commons by the Liberal party, and, in support of those principles, pledges itself to exert its whole influence here and throughout Wales to secure the return of Liberal candidates at the next Parlia ment try electio'n." He Complained that the repre sentatives of Wales were chosen by a few powerful landholders, by whom the most cherished religious and political principles of the great bulk of the Welsh people were habittfally ignored or misrepre sented. The Rev. Dr. REES seconded the resolution, speaking in the Welsh language, which apparently excited great enthusiasm among a considerable por tion of the audience. Mr. BRIGHT, ALP., 012 rising to speak in suppo r t of the resolution, was received with great cheering. Ho said—Mr. Chairman, in our school days and from our school books we learn that Liverpool was a great seaport in the county of Lancashire, but our chairman, notwithstanding, was not far wrong when he described Liverpool as the capital city of the principality of Wales, for I understand there are not less than 60,000 natives of the Principality who are living in this town. I am not sure that there are to be found a larger number than that within any of the towns within the geographic a l o f Wales ; but further I am to ld t h at t hi s sonic degree a r e p resen t at i ve charac binoeuent i d n a g r y has in ter, that there are men here from very many of the towns of Wales, and particularly of N ort h W a l es . But those from whom I got this invitation told me, what Mr. Richer& has already stated, that there is among the Welsh people a great inertness or a great inactivity in regard to political questions, that they are firmly convinced on all questions connected with their churches and their religion, that in that one fact they are capable of great organisation and great an d have achieved a great success, b ut i n po litical question s th ey h ave seemed to sacrifices, think that in their comparatively little country they regard tn had very little to do with the public affairs of a great empire. (Cheers.) Now, I believe that it is essential for the greatest success of a country that in every part of it men should take a great interest . in national affairs, and that when great questions come up for discussion and settlement, not only should the voice of the people be beard in great cities but in small towns and in every village, in order that a true result and a wise decision may be arrived at. Now, at this moment we have before us a very great question indeed, one the like of which has not come before the political people of England for judgment and for verdict for many years Vast—(hear, hear)—aud I hope one of the results of the holding, of this meeting to-night wilt t.e that the great verdict of the nation will not be given without the voice of Wales being heard in it. (Cheers.) The great question is that of the desti nation, of the continuance or the removal, of tht Protestant Church in Ireland. Now, one would suppoze tnat every Welshman would have been env( to a question of this nature. (Hear.) Geographi cally,you are nearest to Ireland—(laughter) —at leas; of any portion of the southern part of this island ; but, more than that, you have had an experience iu religious and in Church matters more remarkable and more thorough than any other portion of the people of Great Britain, and, apart altogether from questions of Establishments, there can be no doubt that you have a strong sympathy for justice, and as strong a wish that justice should be done to Ire land as any other portion or population of Great Britain can be. (Cheers.) Now, I need hardly tell you—for You have heard nothing and read nothing on this subject without knowing it—that Ireland has been governed by the Crown and the governing classes in Eugland for many centuries, and that, no twithstanding that, and even not withstanding an Act of Union passed 67 years ago, and notwithstanding the general impression throughout the world that Great Britain and Ire land form one kingdom—notwithstanding all that, there has never been any real union between Grew Britain and Ireland, and, indeed, until lately there has been no approach to good government in Ireland. (Hear.) The rule of England in the country for three centuries—l will go no further back—until a very receutperiod was a rule through the Viceroy or Lord-Lieutenant, through the judges, through the landowners ; it was a rule of Protestant and political ascendancy, with which the people had no sympathy, and against which the Irish nation has perpetually protested—(cheers) — and if you have had 300 years of government like this, you have had what was the inevitable result, 300 years of misery, of discontent, of conspiracy, and of insurrection. It was only about 100 years ago, not quite 100 years ago, when the war was being waged between this country and the Ameri can revolted colonies. It was only then that the English Government consented to some relaxation of its cruel rule in Ireland ; and it was not until the year 1829, which seems but the other day to some of us, that any single Roman Catholic, out of 6,000,000 Roman Catholics then in Great Britain and Ireland, was permitted to take his seat in the British House of Commons. (Hear, hear.) Since 1829 there has beet?, a much more merciful and a much more just administration, but, notwithstand ing that—and that was mainly the result of im proved representation in England under the Re form Bill, and of the advent of the Whig party to power —(hear, hear)—still the supremacy has been continued, and the sign and the symbol of it has been the Protestant Establishment in Ireland. Now I speak to you, Welshmen, who, inhabitants of this town, are representatives of our brethren in the Principality, you who have done so much for religious freedom; you who made Christianity universal throughout your country ; I ask you to resolve upon this—that nothing shall draw you from your determination as far as lies in your power to grant that perfect religious equality in Ireland ; not equality with a Roman Catholic Church—(cries of " No, no !")—but equality with a Protestant Free Church in that nation—(cheers) —pure equality, in fact, on the voluntary prin ciple. (Cheers.) It is relmitted by everybody that you must aim at equality in Ireland—that is only political justice, and it can only be effected in one of two ways, either by endowing and making a State Establishment of the Roman Catholic Church, or by disestablishing the Protestant Church and adopting the voluntary principle throughout the whole of the country. Now, it is for you to decide what you will do. I observe among your Welsh members it is a very curious point, that more of them voted against Church -rates than on behalf of anything else that was liberal. The reason is this, that among Welsh populations . Church-rates were a known and felt grievance until they were abolished, and therefore your members took care generally to be there when the Church-rate ques tion was on, and a larger number of them voted for the abolition of Church-rates than for any other nuisance or evil I am acquainted N pith, and if you will go as near to your representatives on this question of the Irish Church—feel that to be your own grievance —you may depend upon it we shall have a better vote in Parliament in the next session for Welsh members than perhaps we have ever had before. Now, I hold you, I bind you to this, that you are for justice to Catholic and Pro testant in Ireland, established on the voluntary principle ; and I argue that you must have this opinion, and that you will support it, because you cannot sever your Christianity from justice, and be cause you know and feel that to do justice to Ire land and Irishmen must be to add honour and unity and strength to the Crown and to the people of this vast empire. Mr. Bright resumed hi 3 seat amid prolonged cheering, having spoken for an hour and ten minutes. Mr. V. llARcouur addressed the meeting. The resolution was carried by acclamatiaa. An other resolution was also passe 1, affirming th neces sity for increased represent...lqm of Wales in Par liament. A vote of thanks having been passed to Mr. Bright, Mr. BRIGHT, in responding, said—l feel that if I were not so hoarse I should take the oppoi tunity, in returning my thanks to yoti for your kindness, to make one or two further observations. The gen tlemen who have moved and seconded this resolu tion have referred to the fact that I have come to this meeting during the four or five days of the Parliamentary recess. When I was first asked to come down, as Mr. Rathbone knows, after having argued the question with him, I wrote to him to excuse myself and to decline to come down. However, Welshmen appear to be more pertina cious than Mr. Rathbone, or perhaps he suggested the next assault that was made upon my inten tions, and a deputation came to the House of Commons to ask me to come down here. Now, the question is one of that extraordinary im portance that I did not feel myself at liberty to re fuse to come when it was represented to me that possibly the influence of this meeting might extend beyond the bounds of Liverpool, and might reach some portions of the Principality of \Vales. (Hear, hear.) Now, one way in which I hold this meeting to be of special importance is this—l have heard what has been said by the speakers to-night as to the great contest in which we are engaged, and the desperate struggle which will be made at the next general election. I have heard elsewhere of the funds which are being provided by the friends of the Government and the friends of the Irish Church. All this may be quite true. I have asked myself what will happen in case we should be defeated. It seems an extravagant question to put—(cheers)—but, not to omit to regard all aides of the question, let us ask ourselves what would happen if we should be defeated. You know that in Ireland there are elements of great disorder. [here is a Fenian party of considerable activity and of considerable dimensions ; beyond them there is a very large amount of what I may call tacit dis loyalty ; beyond that there is a still larger amount of what I may call serious discontent ; and beyond that even, among the Catholic population especially, there is a universal dissatisfaction with the state of things iu Ireland, and with the course taken by the imperial Parliament. Now nothing is more plausible, hardly anything more reasonable, than .o say to an Irishman, " You cannot be well-go. verned with a Parliament in London to which you ..only send one member out of six who meet there. Your 105 members from Ireland are submerged, or lost, or absorbed in one mass of the members for Great Britain, and the Imperial Parliament cares nothing for your voice." The persons of whom I am speaking, if addressing an Irishman, would say, a• Your first business is to obtain a separation from Great Britain and a Parliament in Dublin. (Hear, ear.) No one country can be impartially and wisely governed by another country." That is one plain argument offered to Irishman, and it has in it great force. Now, my opinion is this, that if through a cry of " No Popery," or " Church in danger," or any other cry, one result of the neat election should ba to make it impossible in the coining new Parliament to disestablish the Irish C.murch, every in In who has u,ed that argument to an Irishman, or to the Irish population, would find that argument not, only ha neasurably strengthened, but I should say alliost eoncluiive, and we should find—l don't sty more Fenianisw, and more of that kind of conspiracy which has exhibited itself in some parts in a reckless form, but we should find in Ireland a far greater discontent and a far greater resolution to achieve, if it be possible, the separation of Ireland from Great Britain. Now, I have never said that Irishmen are not at liberty to ask for, and if they could ac complish it to obtain the repeal of the Union. I am not now speaking to Irishmen, I am speaking to a meeting composed mainly of persons residing in and natives of Great Britain. I say that we have no right—l am willing to say this any where—we have no right whatever to insist upon a union between Ireland and Great Britain upon our terms only. (" Hear," and cheers.) kVe have only a right to insist that the United Kingdom shall not be severed if we are willing to do full justice to the different nations of which it is composed ; therefore,:there is a question far more important than whether this man or that MALI shall be Prime Minister, or whether a particular Cabinet, ,huffling and offensive as this Cabinet is —(hear and eheers)—or a more honest Cabinet which must ne cessarily succeed it--I say there is a question far greater than whether this or that Cabinet shall be in office. It is whether the people of England have raised themselves to this height of political iutel ligeuce and to this sense of political justice that they are willing to deal • fairly and honour ably, and as they would like to be dealt with themselves, by the Irish nation. (Loud cheers.) Well, until I find that the people of England in their next election shall decide ad versely to justice to Ireland, I will not believe them capable of doing it. I will hope and I will speak —(loud cheers)—so far as lam able, and as oppor tunity may be given me, iu favour of this great measure which is now before Parliament, for I be lieve it to be essential to the unity and strength and harmony of the United Kingdom, and I believe that, instead, to take the language of the present Prime Minister, offensive and impudent as it was— (applause)—instead of dimming the lustre of the British Crown, I say that it will be regarded in history as one of the most honourable fea tures of the reign of the present Queen if under her mild sceptre this United Kingdom can really be united, and Ireland made as con tented and loyal as any other portion of the Em pire. (Great cheers.) I had nearly forgotten why it was I stood up again. It would have been very ungrateful, because I feel much obliged to you for the kindness with which you have listened to me to-night; I am too hoarse, my voice is out of tune, I could not have addressed you in the energetic and beautiful Welsh which I have listened to with so much interest, although I could not understand it ; but I should have said what I had to say much better had I been suffering less in that way ; but I must conclude by asking you to pass a vote of thanks to our chairman, whose kindness and whose good management of this meeting and whose attention we have all been witnesses of. I there fore beg to propose, and I have no doubt my friend Mr. Harcourt will be glal to second, a vote of thanks to the Chairman for his kindness in pre siding. Mr. VERNON HARCOURT seconded the proposition, which was carried by acclamation. A large crowd, cotnposed chiefly of Orangemen and persons hostile to the object of the meeting, collected in front of the Amphitheatre before the proceedings closed, and paraded an effigy of Mr. Bright, which wa3 subsequently burnt in William son-square. There was a slight attempt at disturb ance, but it was promptly suppressed by a nume rous body of the borough police who were in at tendance. .Zhp Empres3 Charlotte, says the Nord,-will soon take up her residence iu Drumelo, fraIRD EDITION• SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK.

M. DISRIELI he had soon the letter referred to, but he looked upon it as arielHetioneering squib, au I the ch trges in it appeared to hint to a gross exag4eration of the right, hot. gentleman's least happy style. It con tained statements that could nut ho proved, and therefore he had given no further attention to it. (Laughter.) Mr. GLADSTONE was about address the house, when Mr. SURTEES rose to order. The S t'EAlilElt said there 1va..3 no point of order in volved, an'l therefore the hon. member must not interrupt theproceeliugs,__ GLAWTONE said ho thought he ought to make some comments on the letter, and therefore he would do it on the motion fur the house guing into committee of supply. TROOPS IN INDIA. Sir G. ST UGLEY asked the Secretary of State for War whether it was conducive to the health and discipline of officers and men to send them from their depots in England so that they should arrive in India during the months of April or May, thus spending their summer exposed to the heat at Kurrachee or elsewhere, away from the commanding officers of their own reginteuts, or occupied in travelling during the intense heat of summer to join their regiments in the North West provinces ? Sir J. PA KINGTON said, by some delay in the over land route the troops did not arrivo as early as was ex pected, but steps had been taken to prevent such an arrangement taking place again. (Hear, hear.) HE PRUS"' In reply to Sir G. STUCLEY, THE PRUSSIAN DRAGOONS. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that the subject of:sa.bres was out of his department, but he would take care that the statement should be submitted to the Commander-in- Chief. SUPPLY-MIL GLADSTONE'S LETTER. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. GLADSTONE said he had to mak e a few observa tions with respect to the letter which had been referred to. If it had turned the election, as had been said, he looked upon that as a great compliment ; but with respect to the criticisms of the right hon. gentleman he must bear that, but as far as the authorship of the letter in question was concen.ed he avowed it, and was quite content to abide by the assertions therein made. The letter referred to the proposal of the Government made by the Earl of Mayo to endow ;he Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, and it went on to state that as an ear nest they had already proposed to endow a Roman Catho lic University, the expanse of which would have to be taken frum the Consolidated Fund. He must say he never stated what the Government had proposed, but he carefully limited himself to the proposal, as far as it related to the University of Ireland. Ile re gretted very much the introduction of religious rancour into the debate on the great question now before Parlia ment, but he had the satisfaction of knowing that it was not he who had introduced the motion. (Hear.) It had, however, been done, and he could only say he much re gretted it. He had never commented on any particular plan, but it was quite true he had referred to a general plan for the concurrent endowmeut of all the clergy in Ire land, and he was quite justified in making use of the ob servations he had made if the proper and correct con struction of the language was to be taken to be the meaning of the observations of the noble earl the Chief Secretary for Ireland. He presumed he spoke with tho full concurrence of his colleagues, because if there was not unity in the Cabinet it was a departure from one of the principles of the British Constitution. (Hear, hear.) He had but to say that his language in the letter was but a fair construction of the declaration made by the noble earl and by it he would abide with respect to the criticisms, that the letter had called forth, he must submit to stand under the fire of that small shot. (Hear, hear, and laughter.) Mr. DISRAELI said the right hon. gentleman had un doubtedly written that the Government intended to pro cure the endowment of the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland. t Mr. GLADSTONE here read the passage again from his letter.] lie ()tr. Disraeli), however, could not cloud his meaning so successfully as the right hon. gentle man had done —(hear, hear, and laughter) —but what his (Mr. Gladstone's) intentions now were that he was brought to book—(laughter)—was that he seriously intended to increase the Ragium Donum. (" No, no," and hear, hear.) lie (Mr. Disraeli) was quite aware f the inadequacy of the Regium Donum, but he had invariably told all deputations that had waited on him with the endeavour to obtain its increase, that in the present state of public feeling it was utterly im possible to make such a proposal. Ho felt certain that the full effect of the frivolous charges that had been made against the Government was now apparent, and he thought that the country by this time could see fully through them. (Cheers.) Mr. CARDWELL said it hal certaiuly been said that the expenses of the Romaa Catholic Uni versity would be taken from the Consolidated Fund, and that the proposal with raped to the four colleges should be postponed for the present. He thought it ridiculous now to endeavour to make the house believe that the remainder of the statement of the noble earl, the Clad Secretary for Ireland, referred to chaplains iu the army and workhouses. (llear ' hear.) The Earl of MAYO said all he slid, or intended to say ou the occasion referred to, was that it was the desire of the Government to maiutain the policy that had been adopted for years, and that such arrangements were to be made as should secure the sanction of Parliament. It was not the colleges that he proposed to establish but the University, and he did not think that Parliament would object to grant such small sums as were necessary to pay the professors. With re spect to the other matter, he could only say, that the Roman Catholic hierarchy having declined his proposals, it should be thought very clearly that no such proposal was ever made. Ho never intended it to be understood, by anythiug he had ever stated, that the Government had ever thought of presenting to Parliament a measure for the endowment of a Roman Catholic Church is Ireland, and he denied ever having made such an announcement. The subject then dropped. (LEFT SITTING.) MURDER OF INSPEC2 OR BRADSTOCK. INQUEST TIIIS EVENING. This evening Mr. St. Clair Bedford, coroner for the West of Middlesex, held an inquest on the body of Inspector Bradstock, of the A division of police, who, it will be remembered, was the inspector on duty on the Bth of May last at the King-street station, Westminster, and who went into the cell in which a prisoner named Joseph Smith was de tained for drunkenness in the streets was confined, and who received severe injuries in the arm and neck from the prisoner above named. He lingered for three weeks, but on Tuesday last died. Evidence was given as to the nature of the wounds inflicted, both Dr. M'Cann and Mr. Timothy Holmes, chief surgeon of the Metropolitan Police, agreeing that the deceased died from the effects of erysipelas, arising from the wounds inflicted upon him. The jury returned a verdict of wilful murder against Smith. The unfortunate and much respected Mr. Brad stock will be interred at Brompton Cemetery to morrow, when a certain number of officers from seven divisions will attend. Two bands will be there ; and 20 inspectors and 100 con stables of the A division will walk in the proces sion, and doubtless numerous other superior officers of the police force will attend to show their regret at Bradstock's untimely end. ___,___,,............ 10 SPORTING INTEL LIGENOE—This Da, (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)
