The Inhabited House-duty Bill was read a second time, and their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, Mr. Alderman SALoMoNS was introduced in the usual form, and proceeded to the table, where he demanded to be sworn on the Old Testament. This demand having been acceded to, the oaths wore administered. The Lion. Gentleman refused to repeat the words, "on the true faith of a Christian" at the conclusion of the oath of abjuration, and was directed to withdraw; he, however, took his seat on one of the benches on the Ministerial side below the gangway, but ultimately withdrew to one of the seats below the gallery and withoutside the bar, which are appropriated to the use of Peers and distin guished visitors. Sir B. HALL asked if the Government would direct the prosecution of Mr. SALoSIoNS, in order to enable him to try his right. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER proposed, in consequence of the unavoidable absence of the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, to postpone the consideration of the question until Monday. A somewhat animated discussion ensued, in which Sir F. THESIGER. Mr. T. DIINCOMBE, Mr. ANSTEY and Mr. B. OSBORNE took part, which terminated in all parties acquiesce❑g in the postponement of the consideration of the question until Monday. The House then went into Committee of Supply upon the civil services estimates, the remainieg navy esti mates, and the militia estimates. _ _ The report of the Committee of Supply was brought up and agreed to. Certain Bills were put forward their next stages, and, the other orders and motions having been disposed of, the House adjourned shortly before Two o'clock. Yesterday evening, on its being proposed that a sum of 809,4961. should defray the charge of the Post office Packet Service, a brief but interesting discussion arose among the national representatives. From this incidental debate in the House of Commons may be gleaned sundry particulars of importance, illustrative of the present position and prospects of this department of the national Administration. According to the system as it stsnds at the present moment in the con tract packet service, iron steamers are subjected to a rigid exclusion. Deemed, as they are, utterly un suited for war service, it has been decided that iron boats for this reason alone should be denied all employment in the carrying out of the postal arrangements. It may be asked, wherefore? Simply because it was considered in Committee that the ser vice in question should be performed exclusively by vessels fitted for war. Hence the countless advan tages of iron steamers have been altOgether foregone solely on account of this particular inaptitude. Nothing has tempted the authorities to hesitate in following this resolution, although offers of the most alluring kind have been made for the construc tion, for instance, of iron steamships of 4,000 tons, and capable of going eighteen miles an hour. Indeed the capacities of vessels built after the fashion here intimated have been tolerably well proved of late years, not merely by experiments, but by actual ex perience. As Lord NAAS observed last evening in the House of Commons, " the Britannia-bridge has demonstrated that vessels could be built of iron of a size which a few years ago would have been con sidered fabulous." Nevertheless, with all these in contestable merits, the notion has been rej acted by those intrusted with the conduct of the contract packet service, out of a solicitude that the inaptitude of these iron steamers should be avoided. Admitting the wis dom of those who are anxious to surround the vessels employed in that service with every reasonable security, considering the extraordinary importance of their freight, it must at the same time be regretted that endeavours have not been made to obviate the difficulty already indicated, so as to place all the un doubted advantages of the iron steam-ships at the command of the Post-office department. In these advanced stages of engineering science it is to be re gretted that such very considerable obstacles should be permitted to remain in the way of the improvement of naval architecture. The experiments at Ports mouth, unsatisfactory as they were considered to be, could not, we conceive, justify any such wide-spread and obdurate discouragement. Endeavours of another kind should have been made, in order that additional opportunities might have been afforded, so that the merits of iron as a material in the con struction of steam-vessels should have been brought within reach of those entrusted with the contract pac ket service. Until supplementary efforts of this nature shall have been adventured upon we shall re main doubtful as to the justice done to the public in terest in this important particular. Another subject alluded to in the course of last night's discussion on this vote of upwards of 800,000/. for tho packet service, is, to our thinking, not a jot less entitled to our most serious consideration. We allude to the sug gestion thrown out by the Committee, to the effect that her Mase szv's Government should give notice when the time for renewing these contracts arrived, so that the country might derive as much benefit as possible from the influence of public competition., It was satisfactory to learn last evening from the First Lord of the Admiralty himself that this im portant recommendation had been duly considered by Ministers, and that in consequence of it every reasonable opportunity will be afforded for imparting to this branch of the national ser vice the manifold advantages of public competition. After this candid and satisfactory avowal on the part of Sir FRANCIS BARING, it was not surprising to find the vote readily agreed to by the House, a new confi dence having thereby been excited that the attention of the Cabinet would henceforth be directed the more carefully to this remarkable branch of the general administration. _ As to the suggestion thrown out yesterday by Sir THOMAS ACLAND, to the effect that a line of packets should be established along the western coast of Africa as far southwards as Fernando Po, it must be acknowledged that such a measure would tend of course very considerably to elevate that extensive track of country from the degrading position of its pre sent barbarism, and to confer, imperceptibly it might be, but still at the same time inevitably, upon its inhabitants the inestimable blessings of civiliza tion. Nevertheless, while the ulterior advantages of such an enterprise as the one here intimated would necessarily be of the most humane and beneficent character, they cannot but be viewed under existing circumstances as marked by a somewhat Utopian vagueness. It behoves her MAJESTY'S Government consequently to look first to the development of good in the packet service as it is at present consti tuted, before adventuring upon an extension of its benefits upon a scale of such indefinite magnitude. What is principally required from those officials to whom the management of this portion of the public service has been confided is the combination of rapi dity, security, and regularity in the conduct of the entire system, a system upon which such vast and diversified interests are dependent. While anything remains to be accomplished in regard to the packet service upon a ny one of these important considera tions, we shall not cease to regard as frivolous every scheme such as the one here thrown out by the lion. Baronet the Member for North Devonshire. Imme diately our present lines of intercommunication ap pear to us to be in every respect properly cared for and conducted, then, but mp b c u o tno l t ac t e il n l ey u th s en e , h s p h r al oi l e w et e s be prepared to regard with those for the social advancement of the Hottentots and the other members of the African population. We yesterday pointed out someofthe necessary ,itht ingredie n t s o f the Reform Bill of 1882, which it will be of but little practical utility, an d will bitterly disappoint the reasonable expectations of reformers. There is another point of considerable importance on which there can be no doubt, the de clarations of the PaExtEe, on the subject bring as plain and explicit as can be desired. The "property qualification" of Members is doomed. It is to be totally and unconditionally abolished, and no restric tion will henceforth be imposed on the freedom of choice of the constituencies. Considering the object for which it was imposed, and the gross and palpable evasions that were constantly practised, it is only miraculous that it should have been so long retained. And yet some of the most mischievous enactments may fairly be inscribed to its insidious operation. The real estate qualification was imposed at the be ginning of the last century for the purpose of weak ening the power of the House of Brunswick, and of preventing, if possible, the accession of her MAJESTY'S ancestors to the throne of these realms. It was in fact a Jacobite plot intended to strengthen the hands of the " territorial aristocracy," who were gene rally speaking the steadfast adherents of the expelled dynasty, and to exclude the commercial and trading community from seats in the Legislature. This it partly accomplished, for, however brilliant the ether qualifications of a candidate, he could not take his seat unless he was the proprietor of a free hold landed estate of 6001. per annum if elected for a county, or 300/. per annum, if elected for a city or borough. This necessity, it was supposed, would induce him, on all occasions, to advocate the interests of the landocracy at the ex pense of all other classes of the community, and ge nerally speaking it had that effect. The penal code was enacted in the last century by duly qualified legislators. The national debt—that stupendous monument of national extravagance — sprung from the same source. The system of indi rect taxation was introduced and fostered under the same influences. It was a Parliament composed of gentlemen of real estate, who considered that the precarious and fluctuating incomes arising from trade or commerce, or the exercise of skill and industry, should be taxed as highly as the dividends of funded property, c: the rents of well-circumstanced real estates. It was the same body who by a cor rupt compact with the moneyocracy passed the iniquitous monetary code, that double-rivetted the chains of the debtors, and took away the very life blood of industry, in order that they might in return be allowed to carry the infamous corn-laws, which they erroneously supposed would maintain the prices of agricultural produce at the near level that would obtain the same nominal rents and rates in a gold currency worth 20s. that were obtained with a paper currency worth 13s. only. They have suffered long and bitterly for their unaccountable and preposte rous delusion. An avenging Nemesis has followed their footsteps, and made them fall into the pits and snares which they laid for their neighbours. A tree which produced such fruits could not be suffered to cumber the earth much longer. Measures were accordingly taken for its overthrow; but, un fortunately, these steps were not sufficient. In place of striking at the roots of the unsightly weed, and grafting it up from the soil, they attempted to prune some of its rotten branches ; in other words, in place of abolishing the property qualification altogether, they enlarged its basis, and rendered the possession of chattels, real or personal property, to the above amount, sufficient to entitle the possessor to a seat in the popular branch of the Legislature, if he could obtain the confidence of any constituency, so as to be duly elected as its representative. Now this is bad in theory, and useless in practice. Bad in theory, because no restriction whatsoever should be imposed on the free exercise of the fran chise. Why should an independent constituency be prevented from selecting the person best qualified to represent its wants and wishes, and who is not, and should not be chosen on account of the length of his purse-strings, or ofpounds, shillings, and pence merely ? Itis for other and higher qualities—for the integrity of his character, the variety and magnitude of his attainments, or the coincidence of his political views with those of the majority of the electors. He may, too, be iu the enjoyment of a handsome income ob tained by the exercise of honourable industry in any trade or profession. That will qualify him to pay the income-tax just as fully as if it were arising from landed property or Three per Cent. Stock ; but there the line of demarcation is drawn. It will not qualify for a seat in the Legislature, or for any beneficial purpose connected with the "rights of property." What a cruel and impudent mockery is this, and how could it possibly be.defended ? But it is also useless. Any man desirous of be coming a candidate may obtain the necessary quali fication of 3001. or 6001. a year, as the case may be, for .501. or 1001. It has never any efficiency in keeping out persons of small fortunes or ne fortunes, if they can otherwise get in. Those who are noto riously without means have always unimpeachable qualifications—everything is prepared selon lea regles, and though a man may be really penniless, his quali fication will bear the strictest investigation, the most trying ordeal. It is those who, conscious of possess ing ample means, disregard the snare, and are occa sionally caught in its trammels. For every reason, therefore, we rejoice at the determination of the PRE MIER, and are willing to give him every credit for the prompt and graceful manner in which he avowed his opinions on the subject. DEATH OF DR. LING4RD, It is our painful duty to state that Dr. Lingard, the celebrated historian of England, died at his residence Elornhy, a yew minutes before twelve o'clock on Thurs day night. For some length of time he has heen break ing up, and, for the last few weeks, a fatal result has b , en almost daily expected. He was aged eighty-one years. Wo believe that in compliance with his ear nestly rxpreesed wish, his remains will be conveyed for ieterment to Ushaw College. Durham, with which he was at one time officially connected.—Kendal Mercury of this day. [lt may be interesting, at this moment, to remember that the great man who has nuw departed from amongst us had for many years past lived in illustrious seclusion in the little village of lioreby, in Lancashire; and, yet more interesting, under present circumstances, to record that ho is understood to base refused more than once the honour of a cardinal's hat. Scholars need not be reminded of the merits of his historical masterpiece, but the fact may just now be aptly called to public recollection, that Lingard has been emphati cally eulogised as the most impartial of English annalists by no less an authority than the Lord Chief Justice Campbell.—ED. S un ] We have this day to announce the death of General Sir Roger Sheaffe, Bart., Colonel of the 36th Regiment, a gallant veteran 01 not less than seventy-three years' service in the army. This officer was enployed in the Baltic, on hoard the fleet under Lord Nelson, and subsequently during the war in America, in which he distinguished himself in a prominent manner, and was created a baronet in consequence. His death took place on Thursday last, in Edinburgh, at the advanced age of ninety years. Tne only son of Henry Grattan, Esq., M.P., died on Wednesday of brain fever, after several days' illness. tie was a fine youth, only 12 years of age. The illness of his son has caused the absence of Mr. Grattan from his Parlia mentary duties lately. On Thursday morning his Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, Prince Alfred, the Princess Royal, and Princess Alice, accompanied by Mr. Birch and Miss Hildyard, visited Mr. Wyld's large model of the earth, in Leicester.. square.

THE LATE LORD GEORGE BENTrricx.—The ground has been marked out in Cavendish-square, opposite Holies street, for the bronze statue, erected by subcription, to this lamented nobleman. Much delay has been occasioned by the tedious process of polishing the huge block of red granite which is to form the pedestal, and weighs near a dozen tons.

THE IRISH CENSUS. A further inspection of tee Irish census suggests, in addition to the onservaiion. previously made, sOme con siderations which cannot well fail to secure the notice of those who take an interest in population returns, and which at the same time ere not unimportant to the general reader. Leaving out of the calculation the myriads who have recently emigrated from Ireland, and referring only to the excessive mortality which is now the subject of arith metical demonstration, it is important to observe that this great excess of deaths over births has tisk , n Place in a country in which the generality of the population were in that state of simple poverty which is favourable to the iiicresae of nuteib,rs. Dr. Price (writing in 1783) observes that " there is reason to beiieve that poor countries . • • in. crease faster than rich countries. The reason is ob vious. The gr. atest enemies of population are the arti ficial wants, the accumulation of property, end the luxury and vices which ate the constant attendant of opulence, and which prevent a regular and early union of the sexes. The inhabitants of poor countries are mote simple, more healthy, and more virtuous; and, wanting little besides food, families are no burden, and the prolific powers of nature hav e free scope to display themselves." He ;Jahn say s ' perhaps Ireland is one instance of this. If we may de, pend on an acceutit in the' Philosophical Transactions the number of people in Ireland in 1695 did not much , exceed 1,000,000. At present (1783) they are, I Sur pose, about 2,000,000." Although at the period when Dr. Price wrote ther e was a great want of adequate data respecting the extent of the Irish population, there were yet sufficient rage' rials to justify the conclusion which he wished to establish, viz., that poor countries, provided that the ground sup' plied plenty of fond, and the poverty of the inliab l ; tants consisted only in their wanting conveniences a nd clegancies, in other countries deemed necessaries , t u. en:me faster than rich ones. Subsequent investigation has shown that, at a point even below that con templated by this writer, the rate of increase is very great—an observation which has been fully justified by the increase in the Irish p o int lation during the earlier decades of this ceetury therefore follows that the sudden falling off in the pope' lation of Ireland is a fact of greater value in computation than the same fact would have been if it had talcs° place in England, or in any country where there is 5 greater proportionate amount of the luxury resulting from opulence. The application of this doctrine to the fig ure ! given in the Irish census is worthy of notice. Ova' ? : ing in mind the very short time during which O u- causes have operated which have diminished t he population, it would be wrong to look for any " ri d gnat dimtnution in the relative numbers contaiee. in families. It will, however, be found that the re cent calamity has already told on the size of families which, from containing 5.5636 individuals in 184 7, are reduced in 1851 to 5.3983. To perceive the amount of this difference it would be necessary for a person to visit 100 families, when he would fie them to contain 16 persons less than the same num ber of families at the cotresponding period 10 years ba r b' and this deficiency would become very striking it tu i d number visited were 1,000, in which case it iii° h amount to 165, the fractions being left out in b°' instances. Of course it is not supposed that this difference in t:, number of an Irish family is to be accounted for wh o " by a diminution in the number of births; it will be fl e ' ' scary, however, in assigning the causes of this re . markable contraction of the faimily circle, to bac ° rwereuce to the particular cause which has been i ll ' eicated. When more ample details shall be fri ; nished of the late census, and those details redu ce ' tur scientific and other purposes, it will be desirable to inquire why, in 1841, the population could be l' r d certained by multiplying the families by 5 5634, O ft in 1851 by reducing the multiplier to 5.398 3 . ~`„ will be observed, by looking at the numbers under t at head of " families" at each of these periods, t b : in 1841 we have 1,472,787, and in 1851 1,2 07,° ,1 au that in passing from the number of families to Of of persons we have now to deal with factors, both of which are reduced. To obtain the proper *newer to such at, inquiry we should have to bear in mind the r e. mailable law noticed by Dr. Price, and which should be noticed in connexion with the facts presented by o ' B :I present census. A person not acquainted with the melancholy bistl of Ireland during the last ten years, and who should rect . , his attention to the population of the towns et t,, beginning and the end of that interval, would uatur eig conclude that the decade had been one of great pros P ei rity, us the towns now - present a remarkable increase, numbers. Beginning with Drogheda, where the smallo est addition has been made, the rate of increase has b ee d 3 per cent., and, passing to Limerick and Waterf or d ' where the increase is 14 per cent., then to nein where it is 32, we come to Galway, where it is 4 3 . ' Ol the last case, the increase in the population is fr o 17.275 to 24,697, an addition of 7,422, for which parallel can be found in the natural increase of tosstl' 26 These increased numbers, with the exception of Bel la ,.„'l and perhaps of Dublin, represent not prosperity , r i 3 O misery and destitution. The several columns con ur d the statements which were made during the seasons d famine and pestilence, of the numbers that ru she e into the towns as the only means left them to es°ofrom death by starvation in the country. Belfast is e i r i, t , dently a happy exception to this statement, for it Wi l ' ao seen that, while the rate of increase in the town has b e l lo 32 per cent., the decrease iu the counties o f Ant r 'i o and Down has not been more than 7. 6 per cent. Antrim and 10.5 per cent. in Down. Thi s i s a strikt! contrast to the case of the town of Galway, where, e rb , r the population has increased in the re mar k a ble man% already noticed, the county of Galway has lost its r',P,, ; O lation to the extent of more than 30 per cent., and C` 6 " to the extent of 29.8. Tho case of Dublin, both in the city and the 000 is somewhat peculiar. While the former has incre sse o at the rate of 9 per cent., it might be concluded t h o t this increase has not been at the expense 0 the surrounding country, since the increase 'l, the county has been at the rate of 10 per °l is t There would, however, be a fallacy in the conclusion i" 0 , this increase of numerical strength was indicative of P r o ,. sperity, either in the city or the neighbouring cet!d e This rate of increase is obviously unnatural, and 1 °,,,, v cative of disturbance in some other parts of the con e ": 0. This excess of increase in the metropolis of Ireland c 0 be readily accounted for, by considering that vr""be county town is to its neighbourhood, Dublin is to whole island. While the peasant could not make bin 'urther than the nearest town, the broken down fare' 4: and, in some instances, that would be a "county faoi l Y:, o could decamp to the metropolis, and find a r eside , there or in its environs. Among th e nom b et t i in excesa of natural increase added to Dublin, 006'0 end city, will be found many who have abandoned tr old family mansion for a lodging of very moderate P r 0 tensions on the Quays, and their wide demesnes forte small house and garden at Dundrum.

CLERKED` Wk.LL.- t. 1 HIS DAY,) Evan Morris IVtIS charged with commiiting a torgrry on St. Pancras workhouse, wider the following eircum dances:— It appeared from the evidence of several witnesses, that upon the evening of the sth of July the prisoner presented himself at the gate and banded to the porter an order, purporting to be signed by Mr. Popham, the surgeon of the district, to the effect tnat he should be at once admitted. The porter questioned him, and he stated that it bore the signature ~ f the brother of Mr. Popham, whereupon he was admitted. No notice was taken of the matter until yesterday, when the Relieving Committee met, and the fortgery was discover. d. It also .ppeared that he had dune the acme thing upon two si milar occasions. The prisoner, in defence, stated that he went to Mr. Popham, who refused to sign his letter, but tart cted him to take it to his (Mr. Popham's) brother, who put his initials to it. Mr. Popham stated that the initials on the order were not in the handwriting of his brother. He bad never given his bridber orders to sign any papers in his name. Mr. COMM remanded the prisoner for a week, in order ;hat the brother of Mr. Popham might be iu at tendacce. THE GREAT EXHIBITION. Yestereay the half crown receipts at the doors of the Cr) Mal Palace rose to 3,7621 7s 6d., and ecccording to the police returns there were 35,338 persons who visited the interior. The Queen and the Prince inspected the Russian compartment once more during the morning, after which they examined the pianos of Erard, Broadwood, and Collard, and the great organ of Willis, i❑ the western gallery of the nave. It is understood that this is the last visit they will pay to the Exhibition for some time, as they retire to their marine residence at Osborne.

THOMAS EDMONDSON, OF MAN CHESTEE.—This gentleman, who was the inventor and patentee of the railway ticket, combining the system of printing and subsequently numbering every ticket, died in Manchester on the -42 d ult. He was originally a cabinet maker, in the establishment of Messrs. Gillow and Co., of Lancaster, but in U 39 he filled the situation of station-clerk at Milford, near Carlisle, at 601. per annum. He there attracted the attention of Captain Laws (the general mana ger of the Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway), by a con trivance of a simple but efficient system of checking the traffic passing Milford-station, which he had voluntarily adopted for his own satisfaction, but which, on the Lanca shire and Yorkshire Railway, under the old system, would have required 3,000 different pass-books at each station, and a corresponding staff of clerks. Captain Laws took him to Manchester, and his system was adopted by the Lancashire and Yorkshire Company, in whose service he rose until he became the chief of the audit department. The printed ticket and his elaborate system of check and counter-check of accounts were g adually adopted by every railway in Great Britain and Ireland. Tnz OLD CITY GAS LIGHT COMPANY. " —Tbe " Great Central Gas Consumers' Ci.mpany," the " great central" example of independent self-supply by "gas con sumers," has sunk from its great central position into a mere addendum to the " Old City Gas Light Company," having no sooner overcome all the strenuous endeavours of the said company t blackguard it, to obstruct, and to strangle it, than it has fallen into the open arms (t this its bitterest enemy - unable to stand alone, we presume, after so much exhaustion. Our opinion of such amalgamations has been often enough expressed. Negotiations such as these have never yet had he public good as their real object or result, however obvious t may be that one consolidated company could (if it would) supply that public at a cheaper rate than while in competition as two distinct establishments. The real object is a fancied interest in sacrificing the public's ultimate hopes by preventing the further reduction of prices conse quent upon a continuance of competition with each other. Builder. THE STEADAMETRICAL SURVEY OF LONDON. PART I. BY CAPTAIN N. SCROPE SHRAPNEL. —This useful little work contains the mean distances, with their relative cab fares, from all the principal streets, squares, or places in London to the Gnat Exhibition and the several railway termini in he metropolis. The tares and distances are ar ranged alphabetically, in a tabular form, and are exceedingly easy of reference. Every one who hires, lets, or drives cabs should be in possession of this useful little manual. The second part will, when published, be even still more useful ; it will contain 6,200,000 mean distances and fares from any square, street, &c., in London, to any other square, street, &c. SOYER'S SYMPOSIUM. — The gardens of Gore House were last night thrown open by M. Soyer, under circum stances of a novel and attractive character. The flower beds and the trees were profusely illuminated with lamps as various in device as in colour, and the demesne, when viewed from the windows of the mansion, presented an aspect of gay and exhilarating brilliancy. A variety of miscellaneous entertainments was also provided, such as military bands, fire balloons, electric lights, pyrotechnic displays, and the like. The grounds were crowded, and the " Modern Ara bian Nights," for such the entertainment was designated by the ingenious individual who is now the occupant of the celebrated residence of Lady Blessington, seemed to afford unmixed pleasure to all who were concerned in it. REPRESENTATION OF SCARBOROUGR.—.Yesterday morning the nomination of the candidates took place in front of the Town-hall. The Mayor having opened the proceed ings, Sir William Lowthrop proposed the Right Hon. Lord Mulgrave as the representative of the borough. He advised the electors not to be misled by Mr. Yaung's interminable calculations, but if they wished to be efficiently represented to return Lord Mulgrave.—t Cheers.) Mr. T. Weddell se eondea the nomination. Mr. G.F. Brown proposed Mr. G. F. Young, and was received with much cheering. Ile asked what benefit the other party had conferred upon them, and described Mr. Young as having been born with an anchor and cable in his month.—(Laughter and cheers.) Lord Mul grave then came forward and was received with loud cheers. He observed, amongst other things, that on one subject there was no difference between Mr. young and him self—the object of both was to promote the public welfare, though their means of so doing were widely different. Mr. Young would protect everything and everybody against everything and everybody, and had lately said Protection was not dead. He (Lord Mulgrave) would tell them that Free -tr ade was not dead, nor likely to die.—(Cheers.) hi, Lordship concluded amid loud ana prolonged cheering, M r. G. F. Young then addressed the constitueney in a very long t speech, in which he set forth a string of disadvanta ges under which he made his appea rance before them, and, a fter ad verting to a variety of topics, alluded to a to his father by the late Earl of Scarborough t or hi s services i n h country's m b e a h r (l y a u l f i , s w o h f I r h m e a v n a b lu .. e beyond d all l presentedb e pos sessions (Cheers.) Ile vin dicated himself from the ch rge of being an agitator and im postor, and had always paid his travelling expenses out of his own pocket. A show of hands was taken, when there appear ed a majority f or Mr . G . F. Young, upon which a poll was demanded for Lord Mul g ra ve. The contest is expected to be a close one. Sir George Grey, in answer to inquiries yesterday at h's residence in Eaton-place, was stated to be better. Dr. Bright is in attendance on Sir George.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The weekly return of the Bank of England is im portant in respect to the changes that cccurred up to the 12th inst. The quarterly official and dividend pay ments led as usual to an important decrease in the public deposits, and the receipt of dividends enabled parties in turn to increase the balances at their bankers. This will account likewise for the repayment of advances and loans made upon other securities. The more ex tended employment of notes and gold in meeting the dividend payments is in the ordinary course. Compared with the previous week the following results are ex hibited:— ... 27,450,155 ... 131,365 ... 3,192,194 Increase ... 63,677 Public Deposits ... 4,319,348 Decrease ... ... 4,612,014 Other Deposits ... ... 10,440,830 Increase 1,745,023 Seven Day and other Deposits ... 1,175.054 Increase 19,848 Government Securities ... ... 13,464 021 D.crease 81.214 Other Securities ... 12 389,725 Decrease ... 1,861,467 ~. 7.259 180 ... 777,085 ... 14,017,655 195 060 ... 20,190,975 645,720 Notes Issued Decrease Beat Notes • • Decrease Bullion ... ..

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at Irmo 6,000 to 7,000 bales, with a steady mar ket at previous rates.—Railway Shares were dull, at lower prices. The markets for textile fabrics in Lancashire and Yorkshire have been rather brisk this week. The Amsterdam Stock market, on the 17th inst., was tolerably animated, and the Dutch Two•and-a-Half per Cents. were buoyant. Spanish Bonds were ray her heavy. The exportation of specie from London direct, during the week to Thursday last, was 117,000 t z. of silver, and 41,774 z. of gold—all to the continent. The Funds have given way merely through Bear ing operations, as no real sales are made. Consuls have been 961 1 for Transfer, and 961 I for Account.

We can state from personal experien a that at a quarter past seven on Thu sday evening, it was impossible to obtain admittance to several of the theatres, in consequence of their crowded state, and the two great operas on the same evening were crammed to suffocation in every part.
