SUGAR—The market continues dull, buyers having the advantage in some instances, but not to alter the general quotations. COFFEE—The demand is moderate and pricos are steady COTTON• LIVERPOOL, June 18.—Sales 15,000 bales. Market firm and advancing. Generally higher. Earl Stanhope presented on Tuesday night in the House of Lords the report of the Select Committee appointed to consider the operation of the Eccle siastical Titles Act throughout Great Britain and Ireland. In the opinion of the majority of the committee by whom this report has been adopted the Act of 1851 was just and necessary, as asserting the supremacy of the Crown, " and it has had the effect of preventing general and ostentatious as sumptions of such titles by the Roman Catholic prelates." " Any advantage to be gained by the modification of this enactment would," in the opi nion of the committee, "be more than counter balanced by the evil of reopening, without sufficient cause, the discussion of a question always calculated to cause much irritation." The Lord Chancellor had a bill on the subject prepared, but, finding the majority of the committee opposed to any legisla tion, he withdrew it. The committee further re port that the Ecclesiastical Titles Act may be re garded merely in the light of an affirmation of vari ous earlier Acts of the Legislature in the nature of premanire. The Lord Chief Baron will, as vacation Judge at Chambers, have the nomination of the additional revising barristers contemplated by the new registration measure. Although the bill has not yet become law, there are some 230 applicants in the field. THE BELL THAT WILL BE ANSWERED.—When night sets in upon the Paris Groat Hotel, a general air of desertion prevails; the "service," which is found in a cor ner, disappears, and shuts its doors, and the traveller has been known to go wandering round and round these blank circles, looking for the "service," and for his key, meeting no one, seemin zly destined to "circulate" for ever in those awful halls. At last he hears a step, and falls in with a belated traveller, who tells him he must try the " son nette," and shows him a little electrical " button" in the wall, a touch on which sets free a whirring al irm, and soon brings a bey-waiter in his shirt-sleeves from one of the doors. The boy-waiter has a precocious French gruffness added to the gruffness consequent on being roused from his sleep. The number is not in his beat, the traveller must go round quite to the other side of the house, and then he disappears " grommelant." There " the button" is again found and rouses another s l ee py waiter, who is equally dissatisfied, but knows nothing of the key, which is at last found with infinite difficulty. The administration must have a malicious joy in in filming the natural exasperation of menials when " they hear the bell ;" and towards this end have hit on the crafty device of making it jangle on by electricity in the most ear-piercing and °lions way, until the servant comes to stop it by pressing a button. Often do we see the sum moned menial rushing with a look of disgust and fury on his face to stay this loathsome tintamarre ; otherwise the alarm would go on to the crack of doom. This notion might be commended with advantage to our monster Lon don hotels, where the impatient guest has to give a good hard pull, to produce a faint and little regarded twang.

ALLEGED CONSPIRACY AGAINST MADAME RACHEL. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.—Albert Arthur Crabbe, accountant, of No. 32, Grayton-row, Kentish Town, and John Hansen, clerk, of No. 45, Castle row, Kentish Town, were charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Madame Sarah Rachel and Miss Leintre Leverson, of No. 50, Maddox-street, Re gent-street. Mr. Sleigh, instructd by Mr. Froggatt, appeared for the prosecution, and in opening the case said that in addition to the charge of assault against the prisoner, he intended to charge the prisoners with conspiracy together, and endeavouring to ex tort from Madame Rachel, the sum of £3OO. Mr Sleigh then called Madame Rachel, who said : I am the defendant in a prosecution at this court at suit of Mrs. Borrodaile. On Tuesday last I was informed that some one wanted to see me, and I went into the lobby and saw Crabbe there. lie wished to see me as he had a communication to make. I said, " What is your business, sir ?" He said, " I have a letter in my hand that would im plicate 50 people in a conspiracy ; how much will you give me if I tell where the conspiracy is being got up for you ?" I said, " I can't mako you au offer. Step up stairs, and tell me the amount you require." He said, " You did quite right in giving up Mr. Lewis, and you have done wrong in employing your present solicitors." I said I was satisfied with my present solicitor, and had nothing to say against Mr. Lewis. He said, "I am a barrister, but I am not in prac tice, and if you will give me a certain sum of money I will get you out of this." I said, " I dare not offer you any. What do require of me ? dare not and will not compromise it ; what is it you want me to do ?" I asked him his name, but I don't recollect what be answered. He also said that he was a Queen's Counsel, but not in prac tice. He said, " Give me £3OO or £5OO, and I can get the affair set on one side, and I will show you the conditions. I told aim his appearance was not that of a Queen's Counsel, and asked him to show me that he was one, and told him that I was tormented by her, and asked him to show me proofs • on which I could rely. He said he 'had a friend, Mr. Warner Sleigh, and having the honour of knowing Mr. Warner Sleigh, I did not be lieve him. I asked him what proof he could give, that he was not an impostor, and he said, " Will you take the word of my friend Mr. Warner Sleigh if d bringßat him ?" and I said L would. He thenl do not wish to introduce Mrs. eig said, ai Borrodaile's name." Mr. Sleigh—Tell us what occurred ? Madame Rachel—He said he came from O'Keefe, Mrs. Borrodaile's man. He said that O'Keefe was conspiring with a man in Mount-street against me. He came again later in the day and said, " Madame Rachel, it will be better for you to give the £5OO than to be sent to Newgate, where they want to get you. There is no case of fraud against you, but they want to have a man beside you to send for conspiracy." I told him I wanted some proof he was telling me the truth, and he then said that O'Keefe and a fishmonger in Mount street, a person named Davis, and a good many others were getting up a conspiracy to place me in the dock for conspiracy. He said the first proof he would give me was that he would be sent with a letter, and that Lambert was to come and hear what took place, and afterwards Lam bert was to pretend he was deaf—Lambert having formerly been in the police. He then persuaded solicitors who had got up the conspiracy against me, and me again to have n othin g to do with my solici affairs in his hands, taonrds, saidan d it to was s t himmy o and I said it was false. He then said, " If I give you proof that your own solicitors have betrayed you will you believe it ?" I said I would, but that I would not give him any money. He then said, " I will come here by and bye and bring a letter about money affairs, and you can place Mr. Froggatt and Mr. Harper in pri son." He tnen said he was not a Queen's counsel, but was sent by Mr. Harper, and that he could implicate fifty persons. Oa my returning home yesterday my daughter told me that she had received some letters and handed them to ma. Madame Rachel here accusel her solicitor of having kept back a letter for her counsel, and went on to say—Yesterday evening between seven and eight Crabbe brought Boustoa in, and as there was some other persona, I do not know what really occurred. He showed her some papers tied up with tape, and said it was Mr. Warner Sleigh's brief, and I said it was not Mr. Warner Sleigh's. He also said that Houston was Warner Sleigh, but was to be addressed as Captain -- Madame Rachel gave her evidence in such an un intelligible manner that it was next to impossible to understand her, and Mr. Sleigh two or three times threatened to withdraw from the case. Crabbe— I called on Madame Rachel as a friend and told her that I did not want any money from her. BANQUET TO HER MA JESTPs MINISTERS.

PROGRAM IE 0 In answer to question pat by Crabbe, Madame Rachel said—l never told you that I did not know where Mrs. Borrodaile resided. Madame Rachel answered the questions put by the accused in such a manner as t.) draw from the magistrate the remark : —6' Mr. Sleigh, I am pre siding over a farce. Can you prove your case of assault ?" Mr. Sleigh--..what did they do to you last night ? Madame Rach e l—Th ey s t ruc k me. Crabbe struck me. They wanted to leave the room. I called for assistance. Crabbe got me against the door. I suffered pain from my stomach where Crabbe struck me. Houston also hurt me. Mr. Knox—Crabbe, confine yourself to the ' assault, and drop the rest of the matter. Crabbe put several questions to Madame Rachel, who gave answers to them in a most confused manner. Miss Leontie Stevenson was then sworn, and said that in preventing the accused escaping they both struck her. Rosanna Mollory, servant to Rachel, proved see ing Miss Rachel assaulted. Mr. Sleigh—Did they strike you ? Witness--No ; they said I was too much for them. Crabbe—There never was a blow struck. Miss Leverson—My mother had marks to show how she had been used. W. Jones, 71 C—l was called to take the priso ner into custody. I did not see any marks of vio lence. Hansen said that he only went with his friend to have a rest. Mr. Knox—There is a prima facie case, but the question was whether I have to deal with a sane person ? S vd ' au l d C sh : e l al s l a u w ded to the prisoners as h marks of violence on Mr. Knox : H ow far she h as let them into a trap or they have let her, I cann ot say. The arrest for iaa e i na r g gm e es a t n itr t ua S eck t h n eh i l t e, h r conspiracy without a motive would not hold well. The circumstances are so doubtful that I shall leave the parties to proceed by summons. The accused were dischargod. ABYSSINIAN NEWS.—News was received in Leeds onWednesday that Mr. Henry Dufton, of the Intelligence Expedition, was shot dead by at ndall W e ll s, near Z ou ll a h, on the 28th of May. Mr. Dufton was the son of Mr. Henry Duftuu, "loth merch ant, and ono of the town councillors , Depsahrotmhoen brigands o g f atl the a g Abyssinian L, Leeds. The unfortunate deceased was a few years ago in the service of King Theodore in Abyssinia, as his Majesty's English secretary, and ho was the author of an interesting book about that cruel monarch and the country over which he held a questionable rule. Mr. Dufton, we understand was about 28 or 30 years of age, and has left a wife and one child. --- A FAIR DISTRIBUTION.—When the British ships under Lord Nelson were bearing down to attack the com bined fleet off Trafalgar, the first lieutenant of the Revenge, on going round to see that all hands were at quarters, ob served one of the men (au Irishman) devoutly kneeling at the side of his gun. So vary unusual an attitude exciting his surprise and curiosity, he asked the man if he was afraid. "Afraid," answered the tar; " no, your honour, I was only praying that the enemy's shot may be distributed in the sane proportion as the prize money—the greatest L . ert, smog tho QiiWorg." In reply to the toast of her Maje. sty's Ministers, Mr. DISRAELI, who, upon risin ge was greeted with enthusiastic cheers, s yid—Nothing can be more gratifying to her Majesty's Ministers than that their names should be received. with cordial kindness amongst any body of their fellow countrymen. But, under this roof, that gratifi cation is greatly increase 1. and is, indeed, peculiar, because I cannot forget teat, at various intervals, under this roof the Constitutional party has often assembled—(loud cheers)—sometimes at moments of adversity, sometimes in the hours of triumph, so netimes to rally, sometimes to organise, but always to vindicate those great prin.- ciples upon which, we believe, are founded the greatness of this country and the happiness of its people. (Cheers.) It is but a year ago that in this hall I had the honour of returning thanks for the Rouse of Commons. The House of Cone - noes was then engaged in one of the most arduous tasks that has been undertaken in our generation —a task which had for its purpose the reconstruction, ou a larger scale and a broader basis, of the representa tive system of the United Kingdom. Ano her year has elapsed, and we are still engaged in that labour. But I am glad to say that the group of measures which, when concluded and sanctioned by the Sovereign, will consummate the task, are now on the eve of completion ; and I think the country is to be congratulated that the task which has during two years almost entirely occu pied the attention of the Parliament of England is now about to be fulfilled, and, I believe, to the general satisfaction of all men of temperate opinions. (Cheers.) I cannot but believe that when the heat of our party contests has passed away, that the generation that follows us will be more able and impartial critics of these great undertakings than ourselves ; and I cannot but believe that their ver dict will be that this was a great taek, not meanly accomplished, and that, upon the whole, under great difficulties, we have brought about a pH tical settlement that has successfully reconciled the traditions of an ancient country with the require.. ments of modern times. (Cheers.) But what is most strange and singular in this history is, that just at the moment that a constitutional body is about to be established which will represent all classes and interests, and all opinions of the United Kingdom—no doubt more completely than before —what is most strange and singular is, that this great constituent body, founded upon these en larged sympathies and interests, will be called upon as their first duty to decide whether they will sus tain or whether they will subvert the constitution of our country. (Much cheering.) I confess that I cannot resist recognising the hand of Providence in this dispensation ; and when I remember the cir cumstances under which this change in our political system was first conceived, and remember the state of politics at this moment, when its conclusion is about to b 3 accomplished, I cannot believe that it is but by mere chance and casual circum stances that this nation is called upon to decide whether they will destroy or whether they will uphold the venerable constitution of the country. (Loud cheers.) The constitution of England is not a paper constitution. (Renewed cheers.) It is an aggregate of institutions, many of them founded merely upon prescription, seine of them fortified by muuiments, but all of them the result of the ex perience of an ancient and illustrious people. And the consequence of this peculiar constitution has been this—one experienced by no other European nation—that in England society has always been more powerful than the State. Therefore, in moments of difficulty and danger, in moments of emergency, there has always been in this country something around which men could rally ; and by these means we have achieved the two greatest blessings of a civilised community which are seldom reconciled — the enjoyment alike of order and liberty. (Cheers.) It is to the alliance between Church and State—an alliance between equally independent powers—that we entered into a solemn covenant for the national good, and through which we have enjoyed these two great blessings, free lo:n and order. It is not for me—and it would be indeed a task at thiS me moment not proper—to enter into the manifold blessings, arising from the relations between the Church and the State; but, referring to those cir cumstances which the worthy Master has alluded to, there are two great conseluences of that union which, I think, ought to be set before the mind and consciences of the people of this country. The first is, that to that union we are indebted for this great result ; that the exercise of authority in England has been connected with the principle of religion—a union which often in rude times made power responsible, and which prevented, even in comparatively barbarous periods Government degenerating into mere policecraft ; a union which in after times has elevated, and per fected, and ennobled the exercise of power. And, my lords and gentlemen, in the age in which we live, when the duties of Government become more social than political, I am at alo to know how these duties could, if the State was not in intimate relations with men set apart for their piety, learning, aid social gifts, have not oily guided and controlled, but softened and assu iged mankind. But there is still another consequence, which I think ought to be placed before the coun try at this moment. It is to the union of Church and State the supremacy of the Sovereign of this country is secured—(enthusiastic cheers) —as it is secured in no other country. (Renewed cheer ing). You, sir, have been kind enough to refer generally to the administration of her Majesty's Government, and I hope that at the moment of trial, which is impending, I may be permitted just to mention that, during the two years that we have administered the affairs of this country, chiefly under the guidance of my illustrious friend Lord Derby—(cheers)—the affairs of this country have been conducted in a manner of which need not be ashamed. (Cheers.) When we acceded to office the n sine of England was a name of suspicion and distrust. (Cries of " rm.") In every foreign court and Cabinet there was no possibility for cordial action, which is the only security for peace ; and in conse quence of that want of cordiality wars were fre quently occurring. But since we have acceded to office—and here I must say that the foreign affairs have been mainly administered, by my noble friend, who by a special diplomatic duty is prevented from the satisfaction of being present—(cheers)--all this is changed; and never was there between England and foreign powers a feeling of greater cordiality and mutual confidence than at present. (Cheers.) In returning you, therefore, the thanks of her Majesty's Government for the great and gratifying complement you have paid them, and which I can assure you they entirely appreciate, I may be permitted to express my confident trust that when the impend ing hour of trial shall arrive, what we have done will not be entirely forgotten,* but that it will be remembered by a generous country, and perhaps it will say that men who, under some difficulties have thus performed their duties, may be entrusted with the far greater task which now awaits those who shall govern this country, namely, to uphold its Constitution—(cheers) —to maintain the liberties of the nation and the supremacy of the Queen. The right hon. gentleman resumed his seat amidst prolonged cheering. received The Report of the Commission on the Budget was distributed on Wednesday among the members of the Legislative Body. It contains pacific assur ances, says that the armaments which have been pre p ar ed do not conceal any warlike arrire-pensee, and adds :—" France neither threatens nor fears any one.

I APERIAL PAR LI A LIEN i HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAT. Tho SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. THE CASE OF MR. M.MA.HON. In answer to Mr. REARDEN, Mr. AD DERLEY said there vas no truth in the roper that the Rev. Mr. M‘Mahon, now condued in a Canadian prison, had been flogged for the offence of receiving copies of a newspaper which had been forwarded to. him. TURNPIKE TRUSTS •BILL. — Mr. KNA.TCEIBULL iIUdESSEN, in meeting the second reading of this bill, said that on a previous occasion lee had fully explained the details of the measure, and had hoped therefore not now to trouble the house with a lengthy statement. Thera were, however, difficulties thrown iu the way of passing the bill. Petitions had been presented against it as adding to the local taxation. Many thought the burden ehould be laid upon the general taxation of the country, whilst others again urged that the present method worked well. The hon. mem ber appealed to official documents to show that the expenses of collection, &c., amounted to 30 per cent. on the turnpike revenues. Under this new bill powers ware conferred on the ratepayers which had hitherto rested on an irresponsible body of persons. By the termination of two trusts last year the expenses of nearly 670 miles of road were thrown upon the rates of the parishes, and he could cite many instances to show the unequal bearing of the present system. As to the objection that the debt should be defrayed out of the Consolidated Fund, he did not think it was founded on justice. The bondholders could not have a permanent claim on the tolls. They lend their money on a contract, well knowing that the contract was terminable at any time. The present system caused a double set of expenses in the same district, and it was to the interest of the officers to keep the tolls still in debt. Than, again, the representa tives of the agriculturists sail that the capitalist and the bondholder would escape payment under the bill. The hon. member then showed how many anomalies would be removed if a district rate were adopted as he proposed. He replied to the objection that the bill gave too much power to the Horne Secretary. Mr. KNIGHT moved that the bill be read a second time that day six months. A long discussion followed, during which Mr. G. Hardy said, although ho could not assent to the bill, yet he thought that some improvement of the system of manage inentof the main roads of the country was renkred neces sary in consequence of the extension of railways. Mr. HUGESSEN said the general principles of his bill having bean admitted, he would not trouble the house further, but withdraw it. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (METROPOLIS) BILL. Mr. S. MILL moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to give to the metropolis eight municipal districts, and to allow each to exorciss the powers of the municipal corporations. The effect of such an arrangement would be not to increase the rates, as had been said, but to keep them down, and prevent those local quarrels which now were by no means uncommon amongst local • bodies. The vestries would cease their sittings, and the Metropolitan Board of Works, which had nearly accomplished the work for which it had been created, would no longer be required, as the municipal bodies created under tin; bill would be enabled to transact the busineSs done by that body in a far more efficient manner Ho had originally intended to introduce a measure to Create one central and directing body, but that he had been prevented from doing so owing to certain requirements of the standing orders not having been complied with as far as regarded the city of London. Mr. C. BENTINCK objected to the bill, and moved that it be read a second time that day six months. The mea sure, in his opinion, instead of allaying jealousies, would greatly increase them ; and, with respect to economy, the whole thing vanished, as by ono of the clauses of the bill each of these metropolitan districts was to erect spacious town halls, and money was to be set aside for the enter taining of strangers. He thought it would be better for the hon. member had he waited until the other bill he had referred to was before the house before he had proceeded with the one now under consideration. lie objected to the bill because it was strongly opposed by the vestries, and a very powerful deputaticn from the metropolitan vestries protested against the measure. It was idle to say that the g , eat body of ratepayers were in favour of the -bill ; he felt certain it was repudiated by every one who had given the least consideration to it. Mr. lIARVEY LEWIS opposed the bill, which he thought would greatly increase rather than diminish parochial expenses. Thera had been no particular demand for the measure that he was aware of, and under such circumstances he hoped the house would refuse to give the b:11 a second reading. ' Col. lIOGG opposed the bill. With respect to the peti ---- tions presented in favour of the bill he had been curious, and on inquiry he found they had amounted to 239, with 211 signatures. (Laughter.) lie did not think the hon. member for Westminster could sIT the people of Loudon were in favour of the bill. He thought the result of creat ing these corporations would be to call into being a squab bling mass, and the perpetration of innumerable jobs. Mr. AYRTON said instead of proceeding with the bill it would bo much better to pass a resolution, calling upon the Government to take the matter into their considera tion, with a view of introducing a bill for the better go vernment of the metropolis. Sir J. FERGUSON said he could not vote for the second reading of the bill. Mr. LOCKE also opposed the bill. Sir S.
