The discounts and advances have increased upwards of eleven hundred thousand pounds ; but Pnly a part of this account has gone to swell the activf circulation, while another part has been replaced in the Bank in the form of deposits. These conditions lodged in anticipation of an increase in the rate of discount yesterday As this expectation was not eabsed, it is p ro b a bl e t h at the succeeding return will show a smaller increase in the securities than the present return shows, notwithstanding a continuance of demand. The bullion has fallen off more than was expected, but the stock is considerably higher Man twenty millions.

Meat--There were good supplies at market this morn ing, and rather a slow trade in cuhsequence of the warm weal her, but salesmen were not disposed to take lower rates. We quote—Beef, 3s 4d to 4s 4d ; mutton, 3s 8d to 4s 6d ; veal, 4s to 4s 8d ; pork, 4s to 4s 8d ; lamb, 5s 8d to 6s 4d per stone of 81b by the carcase. Poultry—Prices are kept up to our late quotations, by short supplies, but the trade is dull. _ . Eggs remain at 6s. 6d. ; per 12s. for best French ; Bs. for best English ; and 2s. 6d. 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 are inactive, whilst in some 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. Foreign wheat met very littlo 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 buy ers. Barley, beans, and peas unchanged. Oats in small sup ply, and firm, with a quiet sale. _ _ COLONIAL AND FOREIGN PRODUCE. Si:GAlL—Demand is moderate, and prices are supported, supplies on offer being moderate. Refined sugars not active, but well mlintained. CoFFEF. - There is scareely any change to notice. Sup plies continue liberal, and the proportion of good and fine oo'oury qualities of colonial still meet a good competition ; Whilst pale and indifferent descriptions sell slowly at prices favouring buyers.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco, before Mr. Justice Blackburne and Justices Mellor and Lush.) THE JAMAICA OUTBREAK.-THE 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. Powel, 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. lie did not, of course, want to contend that the Court of Queen's Bench had not the functions of a court of Oyer and .Tertniner, but he arguel that those functions could only ba exercised when they were sitting as Justices of Oyer and Terminer. They were supreme coroners, but only so when sitting as coroners. Mr. Justieel3lackburn • 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 au 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 supposition 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. He 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. CRIMINAL COURT.—This Day. OLD COURT. PARLIALIENi 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 au 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 arrangeinent for the trial was made. The charge he (Sergeant Ballau tine) thought be should to have meet, in the first but it appeared t in h s e t p an ro c s e ecu w ti a o s n t h h a a d t thoofugfohrtgery, proper in a measure to Abandon that, and elect to proceed on the 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 in attendance, and the expense of the prosecution up to the present time was very great. Further postponement would increase that expense, and under all the circumstancs of the case he hoped the application would not be acceded to. After some further discussion between the learned counsel, Mr. Baron Channell said he was very anxious not to further postpone the case, consid,Tin g 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 he was un a bl e at that moment t o b r i ng 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 Helen 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 Ted - man, Algor, and Cumming were also indicted for burglary, but a verdict of not guilty was returned. The bill was read a second time. THE INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS (IRELAND) BILL. The Elrl of KIMBERLEY move! the second reading LI this bill, and spoke as to the prosperity and good manag•nicut of those schools. The class who came to these schools was not criMinal but in lutrial , and tht-y iu themselves were most valuabtt institutions. Lord DENS:IAN disapproved of some of the conditions of the bill. The bill was read a second titiv.. MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS' coaoNEas BUT. This bill was real a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HO M!'. OF COMMONS—LAsT EVENING. The SPEAKER took his seat at 4 o'clock. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS. Mr. S. MILL gave notice that on going into committee on this bill ho should move certain amendments to the bill to preserve some important provisions which would be repealed by the passing of the act as it stood. PARK-LA.NE. Mr. LOCKE asked the First. COmmissioner of Works by whose authority a pavement was bsing laid down on the west side of Park-lane, thereby reducing the portion of ground taken from the Park for the purpose of the road way from 18 to less than 12. feet. Lord J. MANNERS said it was being done in accord ance with an agreement entered into between the Metro politan Board of Works and the parish of St. George's, Banovensquare, and a license from the Crown. Sir R. PEEL asked the Lord Advocate what were the duties and emoluments of h .r Alajssty's High Commis sioner to the General AsFembly of 013 Church of Scot land, and out of what fund the Commissioner was paid ; what was the total amount of salaries paid to the several officers in the department of the Lord High Commissioner, and out of what fund such salaries are paid; and, whether the Established Church of Scotland was id a minority in that part of the United Kingdom ? The LORD ADVOCATE said as the High Commis sioner had to hold levees and represent her Majesty, he received the sum of £2,000, payable out of the consolidated fund. The sum had been paid out of the hereditary re venues of the Crown in Scotland before they were sur rendered. He thought the number of members of the Established Church was about one-half of the population, although others might think differently. SCOTCH REFORM BILL. In reply to Mr. MONCItEIFF, Mr. DISRAELI said he proposed to tab the Estimates first on Monday next, and then the Scotch Reform Bill. THE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. VERNER asked whether, having in view the speeches and resolutions made at a large meeting yester day, the right hon. member for South Lancashire intended to press forward his measures for the destruction of the Irish Church and the supremacy of the Crown. (Cries of "Oh, oh.") • Oa the motion for the house going into comtnittee on the second and third resolutions with respect to the Irish Church, Mr. GLADSTONE said he would now just say one word with respect to the question which hiel been put to him, although he felt it was beyond the line of Parliamen tary practice. The majority of the house were in favour of the resolutions as far as they had gone, and, he had every reason to believe that the great majority of the people were of the same opinion. (Hear, and No, no.) In proceeding to move the second resol uti on, he said charges had been made against the party with whom he acted that they were not dealing in sincerity with the subj ec t which now had been so long before the house, but that they were using it for party purposes. (Hear, hear, from the Ministerial benches.) He did not want to bandy assertions or negations, but he said openly that the sincere desire of all on his side of the house was the general wish and desire to see the measure carried in order that the good results that were anticip tted might follow as soon as possible. (Hear, hear.) There were many reasons why ho should go ou 'with the Resolutions, because, supposing they were to leave the question for future consideration, all the time that had been given to the subject this session would be lost, and great interrup tion to the public business might occur. (Heir.) Wean the matters referred to in his Resolutions hal been em bodied in an : act of Parliament, from that moment he believed that a great deal of opposition woull bz done away with, and many who now were op posed would be found pressiug forward a measure for t to final settlement of the question. (Hear, hear.) That would give a practical shape to the course it was intended to pursue, and such a proceeding could nut entail any inconvenienc e ou the G wornmeut or the discipline and spir.tualities of the Irish Church. He proposed to embody the resolutions into a suspensary bill extendiug to the month of August, 18;9, and which would stop all appointments in the Irish Church up to that time, and which would allow a small margin for Parliamentary discussion. The provisions of the bill would extend to all Episcopal appointments, ell laymen or capitular offices of sinecure; au I all such ap pointments as were not private patronage. (Hear, hoar.) The reason that be made that reservation was because had he included those appointments it wouli have brought about the question of injury to private rights. (Hem) Ile thought the adoption of such a course would be the one most conducive to the public interest, and when the Resolutions were assented to by the house, he intended to follow them up by bringing in a bill which would carry out the purpose he*had just spoken of. On the second resolution being put, Mr. G. HARDY said he should imitate the right hou gentleman in avoiding all acerbity on this occasion, as he thought that, with a view of bringing the business to an end in order that the Government might do as they intended, the right hon. gentlemen had adopted the most convenient cours e . Of course her "Mejesty's Government could give no assent to the remain ing resolutions, nor could they approve of a bit which they had not yet seen. The course, therefore, that the Government proposed to take was to meet the resolu tions with a simple negative, which would prevent the trouble of the house dividing upon them. Af:er a few words from Mr. NEWDEGATE and Mr. WHALLEY, Mr. DODSON put the second resolution to *he house, when it was carried by a great majority. Mr. GLADSTONE, in moving the third and last reso lution, said ho had no desire to bring on any discussion on the bill before the consent of the Crown was Obtain el. Mr. D. GRIFFITH said it appeared to him that the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Gladstone) had made up his mind that the consent of the Crown was certain to be gi von to his proposal, but if such an arrangement could be made in that house, it appeared to be that the consent of the Crown was a mere matter of form, and came to nothing. He should like to know what the right hon. gentleman would do supposing the consent of the Crown was not given to bis proposal 2 The hon. gentleman continued his address to the house amidst the greatest impatience. Mr. DISRAELI said he did not think it necessary for him to trouble the committee, but he must say he did not see there was any assumption on the part of the right lion. gentleman as to the character of the answer that would be received to the address of the house. When the resolutions were passed it would become the duty of the Government to consider them and then advise her Ma jesty. (Hear, hear.) Mr GLADSTONE said he never thought of proceeding until the reply of her Majesty had been received to the address. The third resolution was then put by Mr. DODSON, and carried amid loud cheers. Mr. LALNG then withdrew the following resolution which he had on the paper: —" That this house is of opinion that while the principle of disestablishing. the Irish Church has been affirmed by this house, the question is too important to be settled without an appeal to the con stituencies created by the New Reform Acts ; and there fore that it would be the duty of the Government to ar range the course of public business so as to enable the appeal to be made at the earliest practicable opportunity." A long and animated discussion followed, on a resolution moved by Mr. S. AYTOUN and seconded by Mr: LAMONT, declaring that, "when the Anglican Church in Ireland is disestablished and disendowod, the grant to Maynooth and the Regium Donuin shall be discontinued; and that no part of the secularized funds of the Anglican Church, or any State funds whatever, be applied in any way, or under any form, to the endowment or furtherance of the Roman Catholic religion in Ireland, or to the establishment or maintenance of Roman Catholic denominational schools or colleges." Mr. BRIGHT strongly opposed it on account of its ab stract character, which wonld in no way pledge any future Parliament, and argued that, if carried out, it must desttoy the denominational system of education in Ireland. Sir J. FERGUSSON insisted that the disposal of the funds taken from the Irish Church was an all-important branch of the subject, on which the house had a right to be 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 Catlw!ie army and gaol 4aplains. Why should the Roman Catholics alone be placed under each a DWI ? ROUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock-. THE NEW PEER. The 3rarquis of SALISBURY took the oath and his seat. CAPITAL PUNISHMENT IN PRISONS BILL. The Duke of RICHMOND moved the second reading of this bill, and said that many of the scenes at executions were provoking to tho people. The proposal of the bill was that the execution should take place within the walls of the prison, and that the sheriffs and certain other persons were to bo present, and that the surgeon was to certify as to the death, and that a coroner's inquest should be held on the body. The bill had ptssad the other house of Parliament. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE.-THIS DAl'. i. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. KNOCKER W RENCIIING.—John Hubert Bell, of No. 12, Buckingham-street, Pimlico, clerk, and W. George Towers, o f N o. 18, Bywater-street, Chelsea, described as of n o occupation, were charged before Mr. D'Eyncourt with having in their possession two knockers supposed to be stolen. * Sergeant Hagen, 113 A R, 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 custody for having the knocker in his possession, and ou the way to the station, in coesequence of what the woman told him, he also charged Towers with a similar offence. On searching Bell at the station he found another knocker upon him, one of the knockers having No. 21, 'Bendon et that of No. 9, Green sbtereen, street. taken a n d the from other r d o o n o: o f answer D'Eyncou r t , the sergeant said In that Bellw to l‘r. was intoxicated, but that Towers was sober. Bell said that he believed all th at was stated was correct. He was going borne, and a friend gave him the knockers to take 'mine as a present. Towers said he knew nothing about the knockers. He followed his friend to the station, and was then charged. Mrs. L. DAvis, of 21, Ox .endon-street, identified a knocker producel as her Property, and sail she stop was n a p r r o o n v s e e d dby having lead the kn knocker ocki on her door b ro k en ug and Mrs. E. Wal and bein g di s turbed, and th e f ormer said that she bad also bad her brass-plate inj ure d . . _ . _ Sergeant Hagen 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, put not him. Bell said he had paid for one knocker to a land lord of a house. Mr. D'Eyncourt 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. 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, he 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 `ke front in a great struggle like this was a grave political critno. Lord J. MANNERS replied to Mr. Bright, and, deny ing that the Government had contemphited endowment of the Iteinau 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 clearlrforeshado wel. He put a different can struction on 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 repeated that the history of the even ing was au indication of the confusion which existed on this question, and vindicated his language as sensible and appropriate to the occasion. Turning to Mr. Bright, he 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 wore agreed to by the House, amid loud and prolonged cheering. The next business was the Irish Itiforn; Bill, the second reading of which was moved by Lord MAYO. Mr. C. FORTES►QUE intimated that he should not oppose the second reading, but very considerable changes would be moved in committee. The eouo►y franchise must be brought down to £B, and the redistribution scheme must ba entirely remodelled. The same course was taken by Col. French, Mr. Pim Sir J. Gray, Dr. Brady, and other Irish me m b ers who : spok ,, , supporting the second reading, but criticising tho details of the measure, and promising further discussion and numerous amendments in committee. The Earl of MAYO made a short reply, and the bill wa3 read a second time. Some other bills were forwarded a stage, and the house adjourned at 25 minutes past 1 o'clock. BAA7C OF FRANCE.

(Signed ItouLAxD. Mr. P. WYNDHAM also opposed the Resolution, be lieving that it - would render valueless the sacrifice of the Establishment. Mr. GLADSTONE repeated, with marked emphasis, his declaration made in the first debate, that the Maynooth Grant and the Regium Donwri 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. Great confusion and danger to the important en terprise on which the house was engaged, he pointed out, would result from straying away from the main point, and more particularly ha objected to voting for a resolution which singled out one particular form of religion, and stig matized it with special 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 aweedinent was then put, and Mr. G:adstoue proposed to add to it the • words, "due regard bring had to all personal iunrests." In the ceuese of the s..nn. what heated and con fused conversation which fellewed, Mr. A YRTON refi teted with cousiderable Acrimony on the conduct of the Government, and Mr. DiSRAEi.I, in defending himself, characte.rized the discussion as a "quarrel over the plunder." Mr. GLADSTONE'S addition having be agreed to, Mr. GREENE thereupon moved th ) addition of words .leclariug that no part of the eudo 'reject of toe Irish Cherch shell be applied to the endowment of the iustitu tious of any other religious body. Mr. BRIGIIT repeated his former obje:tion that such a pledge would destroy thu denotnina:ional system, on which alone, unfortuaately, educatioa c mid b 3 conducted in Ireland; and Mr. Gladstone de:waled that a longer notice should be given. There was another discursive conversation on the words, inclu Hag another warm skirmish between Sir G. Grey and the Premier as to the duties of the Government and leader of the house on such occasions; and, finally, Mr. Greene'e addendum was nega- Cved by 132 to 97, and Mr. Whitbread's resolution (as amended by Mr. Gladstone) was agreed to.
