Aine _balm return is chiefly remarkable for showing that a considerable accession of loan and discount business has heen transacted with little effect upon the reserve. The Private Securities have* increased £ 1 ,262,398, yet the Reserve is only £150,584. The Bank was enabled to effect this by a large increase in reserve payments, the addition to the public deposits being £1,360,252, enlarging that item to £7,287,476, While another week's receipts are yet to be added to the quarter's income. It is most likely that the loans obtained from the Bank have been Chiefly for revenue payments, inasmuch as, with money at the present price, it is cheaper to borrow for few weeks than to withdraw the amount from use In trade. The probable result will be that the aggre gate of the Reserve will he but slightly varied by the Payment of the dividends in the second week of April. The Bullion shows some addition, and the Circulation is less by about the like extent.

As there is no diminution in trade to account for this, it is considered that traders are still keeping themselves as independent as possible in other words, they are trading on their own resources.

Loan of 1865, amounting to .£282,000, are announced for payment on the Ist April, together With three months' interest, at the rate of 5 per cent. tier annum. The report of the Caledonian Railway has proved W orse than the most adverse speculators had expected. The dividend is at the rate of 25 per cent. compar- I ng with 6 per cent. On Saturday last it was Qffered and taken at the rate of 21 per cent. per annum. The public dividends will be payable at the Bank t't England on Wednesday, April 8. The directors of the Oriental Bank, at the meeting an the 16th April, will propose a dividend of 6 per rent. for the half-year ending Dec. 31, making, with t he previous distribution, 12 per cont. per annum.

Yesterday afternoon a numerous deputation waited upon the Duke of Richmond at the offices of the Board of Trade, for the purpose of again re questing the Government to introduce into Parlia ment a bill to enable the collection and peri o di ca l publication of the statistics of the imports, exports, consumption, and stock of cotton in the United Kingdom. Mr. Bazley, M.P., introduced the deputation, stating that it represented almost the whole of the cotton trade of the country. Mr. Watkin, M.P., reminded the duke that when the deputation waited upon him last November his Grace desired that a draught bill should be drawn up for consideration. This had been done, and the Statistical Department of the Board of Trade had been consulted. That department stated that there was no reason in principle why the companies which purchase and forward the cotton should not be compelled to give the required infor mation, as already the owners of ships were com pelled to give particulars respecting importation and exportation, although the knowledge thus gained was not used for the purposes affecting taxation. The bill suggested simply gave power to the Board of Trade, by order in Council, to collect the required statistics under such regulations as they might see fit to impose. If statistics were to be prepared they must be reliable, and be issued by a public department. At present the statistics col ected by brokers' associations were of necessity im perfect, and all parties now agreed that nothing short of a compulsory system would answer the purpose. The Cotton Brokers' Associations of Liverpool and London were represented on the deptation, and those gentlemen would state that so early as 1851 they tried to obtain informa tion by voluntary returns, but that the attempt utterly failed. He had carefully studied the sub ject, and he was quite convinced that reliable returns could be made by the Customs' officers, under the orders of the Board of Trade, with a very trifling expense, and that such returns would be of infinite value to the trade, which greatly needed ac curate information in this matter in order to secure steadiness of price. The errors which had been made in returns of estimated stock had led to serious irregularities and loss. The brokers, who, it had been assumed, wero interested in these fluctua tions, were as anxious as consumers of cotton to procure the object the deputation had in view. He trusted that, should her Majesty's Govern ment decide to deal with this matter effectually, the Government of the United States would be appealed to to follow the example. When these things were done, the important interest of the cotton manufacture—the largest industrial interest in the country—would be placed upon a sounder basis as regarded its purchase of the raw material. Mr. Hugh Mason, chairman of the Cotton Spin ners' Association, said that the deputation them selves manufactured one-fifth of the cotton con sumed in Lancashire, and paid in wages above £50,000 per week. The whole trade was in cordial union on this question, and all parties were fully convinced that nothing but a compulsory system, and the rendering of the returns at short periods by the Board of Trade, would meet the require ments of the case. Mr. Bolt, chairman of the Cotton Brokers' Association at Liverpool, ex plained the mode in which the statistics were at present collected, and showed how erro neous they must be from time to time. He quoted the returns of stock for the last 11 quar ters, in which, on every occasion, there was a serious error. In one of the returns the estimate was wrong by no fewer than 90,000 bales, representing £1,500,000. Mr. Roulth, chairman of the Cotton Brokers' Association of London supported the views of the last speaker. Mr. Milner Gibson, ALP., expressed a strong opinion that as the Board of Trade now published returns of imports and exports collected under compulsion by the Cus toms, in order to make the information at present obtained useful and reliable, it was absolutely ne cessary to give the fact instead of the estimated stocks. Mr. Hornby, M.P., who believed that correct statistics were extremely important, said that they could only be secured by a com pulsory measure. In answer to various ques tions put by the Duke of Richmond, a series of returns and statements were handed iu, and his Grace was reminded that the Liverpool brokers present alone dealt in cotton to the extent of £40,000,000 per annum at the current prices, and that the fluctuations in price had ranged during the period of the American war between the figures of 6d. and half-a•crown, showing an advance of 500 per cent., on many occasions seriously aggra vated by the want of a correct knowledge of avail able stock. The Duke of Richmond concurred in the opinion that the subject was one of great im portance, and intimated his intention to bring the subject before the Cabinet, with whom the matter must rest. The deputation thanked his Grace for granting the interview, and then retired. A change for the better has taken place iu the condition of the venerable Earl of Roden, and hopes are now entertained, advancing in age though he is, that his lordship will recover. ,c6f Ai:tit:MUG di:tali:s., AND srocKs London and North-Western, 5 per cent., 109 London and S.-Western 11 per cent., vi LIVES LEASED AT:FIXED_RENTAL S.

TILE WAY STREET ROBBERIES ARE EFFECTED.— James Williams, a fellow well known to the police, and Annie Dunbar, were charged before Mr. Knox as suspected persons loitering in Carlton-street, Regent-street, for the purpose of committing a felony. From the evidence of Gordon, 33 C, it appeared that about nine o'clock the previous night, while in company of two other officers, Shrives, 82 C, and Cave, 33 C, all in plain clothes, he saw .;,the pri soner and another man and woman loitering about Carlton-street and St. Alban's-place, Regent street, and saw the woman stop several gentlemen and speak to them, the men standing a little way off. Having watched them for some time, the party walked away into Charks-street, where the woman stopped a gentleman, and Williams then walked up, and moved his hand as if about to take something from the gentleman, but seeing him (Gordon) approaching the prisoners and their com panions all made off, but the prisoners were subse quently caught in the aqui:lll:et after a sharp pur suit. The constables Shroves and Cave having given similar evidence, Mr. Knox asked if anything was known of the prisoners. Gordon said that the woman was charged once at Guildhall, and both prisoners belonged to a gang of notorious thieves OR the Surrey side of the Thames. The male prisoner, while admitting that he was known to the police, was very anxious to have the matter settled at once. Gordon opposed this, stating that there had been several complaints lately of robberies effected by men and women working together. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoners. ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS.

A CONFIDING CABMAN.—A fine specimen of the old school of cabmen applied to the magistrate this morning under the following very unusual circum stances. Applicant said that he was hired by a gentleman yesterday week, and after driving him about for seven hours, he set him down at 2, Chaudos-street, Borough, when he said he had no money, but would pay him if he came and took him out the following day. He drove him for 11 hours en the Friday, when the gentleman said he was very sorry, but he could not pay him then, but desired me to come on the following day. On Saturday applicant carried him about for seven hours, but still did not get his money. .The gentleman, however, gave him two "I 0 U's," one for £2 and the other for Mr. Benson—Who is the gentleman ? Cabman—He gave me his name " Captain John Clansey," and lives at 2, Charles-street, Brompton. Here are his " I 0 U's." Mr. Benson—When did he you give these valuable pieces of paper. Cabman—After that I had driven hiui on the Saturday. Mr. Benson—Where did you take him ? Cabman—Ho was always d r i v i ng a b ou t f or money, he said. Mr. Benson—And did not seem to get it ? Cabman—No, he was very unfortunate. (Laugh ter.) I drove him about besides the three days. Mr. Benson—You must be very fond of driving. The cabman, amidst repeated laughter, went on to describe that he had carried the gentleman every day since, and had not had any money, and had yesterday been told, as usual, to meet him to-day. Mr. Benson—Well, you have come here just within the time that the law can help you. These 1.0.U.'s are good for nothing. You had better put together all these amounts carefully, and you can take a summons for the whole sum. THAMES. IMPUDENT YOUNG THIEVES.—John M'Grath, aged 14 years, William Lawson, 12, John King, 12, and William Wilson, 11, were brought before Mr. Paget, charged with stealing a leather bag from the shop of Mr. Charles Craddock, in Hereford place, Commercial-road, East, who said a person brought a bag into his shop, and he at once identi fied it as his property. It was stolen from the door-way in his shop. Edward Thompson, of No. 22, Langley-place, Commercial-road, saw the four prisoners opposite his window reconnoitring and planning a robbery. lie then saw them go to his neighbour's shop, shake severallbags, which they could not move until they got one of the nail. lie raised an alarm, and one of the boys was caught by a police constable. lie " nailed" two in the middle of the street, and the fourth was captured. A police-constable said he was also watching, and saw M`Grath take down the bag, and run away with it. He knew three of the boys to be notorious thieves. He did not know Wilson. Mr. Paget remanded the prisoners for a week. Their parents must attend the next hearing of the case. ROBBERY IN A JEWELLER'S SHOP.—Julia Wil liams, aged 16 years, and Margaret Murray, 15, were charged with stealing two gold lockets in the shop of Mr. Pettit, jeweller and watchmaker in the Commercial -road. The prisoners, who were very dirty and meanly dressed, and were never in a condition to buy jewellery, entered the shop of Mr. Pettit, last night at eight o'clock, and asked the prosecu tor's son to allow them to look at some wedding rings. lie took a card-full of wedding rings out of the window. The prisoners immediately began to finger the rings, and Mr. Pettit, jun., said their hands were very dirty, and he did not want the card soiled, and begged of them to let the rings alone, and he would display:the rings. The girls then said they would not buy any rings, and asked Mr. Pettit, jun., to show them some lockets. Three oards, on which were gold lockets, were produced. The prisoners handled them. While they were examining them one prisoner concealed two in the palm of her hand, the other one locket. Mr. Pettit immediately discovered what they were after, raised their hands from under the counter, and took the lockets from them. They were valued at a guinea and a half. Mr. Pettit, glad enough to recover his father's property, would have allowed the prisoners to depart, hut Mrs. Pettit, his aunt, very properly insisted on their being given into custody. John Mackway Healey, a boy in the service of Mr. Pettit, saw the prisoner, conceal the lockets in the palms of their hands while examining others. Edward Dillon, a police -sergeant, No. 19 K, said he found 7s. 6id. on one prisoner and no money on the other. Ile also- found seven eggs on Williams, which she said she had purchased in Blackwall two miles from the spot where she was arrested. Murray had a tin pot in her hand, and she attempted to drop a pair of new socks. Thirteen cigars were also discovered on Williams, and 22 on Murray. There was also a new comb on each of them. The prisoners pleaded guilty, and were each con victed of larceny, and sentenced to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. THE ORLEANS FAMILY.—The second anniversary of the death of the ex-Queen of the French was commemo rated on Tuesday. All the members of the Orleans family wore present, and many old and tried friends, the majority of these last having come from Franco for the express purpose of attending the solemn gathering. At half-past 10 a short funeral service was held in the chapel at \Vey bridge, under which are deposited in a vault the remains of King Louis Philippe, his Consort., and others of the family. Bishop Grant officiated, assisted by his usual at tendants. At the close all present visited the vault, and then fresh wreaths of flowers wore placed upon the tomb of the illustrious lady. Ono wreath was especially beauti ful, and was brought from Paris by one of the visitors. OLDEST INIIADITANTS.---At Melbourne an address was presented to the Duke of Edinburgh by Victorian colonists of not less than a quarter of a century's stand ing. Though the timefor signing the address was short, it had more than 600 signatures, 24 dating back their resi dence in the colony to 1836 or earlier, two to 1834. All the signatures have been photographed Icr preservation. Mr. Henty, the oldest Victorian colonist, road the address. The lion. J. P. Fawkner informed the Prince that he wre in Port Phillip in 1803, and that he was the oldest inha bitant of Melbourne, where he settled in 1835, one year after Mr. Henty settled at Portland. His Royal Highness declared the address one Q 1 the most interegtLog ho had receincli IKPERIAL P.ABLIAKENT lIOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. Tho LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on tho woolsack at five o'clock. THE COMPULSORY CHURCH RATES ABOLI TION BILL. This bill was brought in and read a first time. NON-TRADERS BANKRUPTCY (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was committed and passed. CONSOLIDATED FUND BILL. This bill was read a second time. LEGITIMACY DECLARATION (ILELAND) BILL. Lord SOMERIIILL moved the second rea ling of this bill, which was read accordingly. FAIRS (IRELAND) BILL. This bill was conunittod and pa,sed. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. Earl STAN[IOPE moved that a select committee be appointet to inquire into the bill which had been en titled " The E:clesiastical Titles Bill." flu would remind their lordships that formerly it was for bidden to take any title by a clergyman not of the Church of England. Thu noble earl (Russ .41), on the occasion of Dr.Wisentan taking the title of Archbishop of Westtninster, had objected to it. This measure was then brought iu and passed, both in the other honso and in this house, and it inflicted a penalty of £lOO against any ono Ns ho .assarned au ecclesiastical title. How vain has this victory proved. Lord Derby told thorn that the returns of the penalties had been " nil," not a single penalty had been inflicted. They must now consider what injuries this act had inflicted. It might be urged that no penalties had been enforced, but this made the law most injurious. If there was a country where respect for law should be enforced it was in Ire land; what must therefore be the feeling of the Irish people when they found that this law was not enforced ? The noble earl went into a detail of the objections which affected the bill. The bill affected the episcopal as well as the Roman Catholic bench, and the act was bound to inflict a penalty on the one as well as on the other. The noble lord also quoted from the opinion of Justice O'llagan and eminent prelates, that the position 'of high ecclesiastical authorities - ought to be clearly defined. The only object of the bill had boon to forbid what they were not able to prevent. Ile would say to their lordships make.toncessions while they could, so that they could make resistance when it was required. The noble earl concluded by moving the select committee. Lord REDESDALE said that this was not only not a party question, but also not even an ecclesiastical ques tion. It was the fact of a foreign potentate interfering with the rightof this country, and if any one countenanced the right of a foreign power to make appointments he would be doing what was most pernicious. The movement of the Pope iu this matter was most unlawful. From the period of the Reformation down to 1851 there had been no appointment in this country by the Pope, and why should it be necessary than. It was an act of aggres sion, and most unfortunate and uncalled for. The act alluded to' g was a protest against this aggression. Lord LYVEDEN looked upon the appointment of a committee as premature, as there was a bill before the House of Commons for the repeal of the act- The Duke of SOMERSET did not think much advan tage would be derived from the appointment of a commit tee. He was still of the opinion he expressed when the act was passed, that the act of the Pope in conferring ecclesiastical titles upon Roman Catholic prelates in this country was an outrage upon the Queen and the liberties of the country. The Marquis of CLANEICARDE said the act was a grievance to the Roman Catholic prelates, and must be re pealed, but he doubted the expediency of appointing a committee when the matter was pending before the other House of Parliament. Earl GREY said the bill before the House of Commons repealed the act, but it was necessary to go a step further, and to declare the effect which the act had produced. The LORD CHANCELLOR, thought a case had been made out for the appointment of a committee. Those who regarded the act as a protest must now admit that it was a protest made in a most inconvenient form, and accom panied by consequences which had proved eminently un desirable. The Earl of MALMESBURY said the Government, as a Government, had no objection to the appointment of a committee ; but on the contrary regarded it as rather use ful than otherwise. He regretted the absence fvm the house that evening of Earl Russell, who took so consider able a part in tho passing of the act. The motion was then agreed to, and the house ad journed at 25 minutes to o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS--LAST EVENING, The SPEAKER took the Chair at four o'clock. LOCAL GO VERNMEN T ACTS. In reply to Mr. PLu, The Earl of MAYO was of opinion that great public advantage would result if the Act was extended to Ire land; he was also of opinion that great improvement, could be introduced in the taking of polls at municipal elections in that country. With respect to the Towns' Improvement Act, (Ireland), he hoped after the recess to lay a bill on the table fur the improvement of that Act. CAPTAIN WARREN'S INVENTIONS. Colonel SY KIES asked the Secretary of State for War whether the application of Captain Warren, R.N., whosJ patent cooking apparatus had b3en adapted for use in the army, would be referred to the "Standing Committee for the consi leration of the claims of inventors to rewards." Sir J. PAKINGTON said he did not propose to refer the application to the committee named, as ho was of opinion that Captain Warren had received sufficient reward by having his apparatus purchased from his own agents on his own terms. With respect to Mr. Jacques's invention, ho was not acquaint3d with it; he would inqu're into the matter. INDIAN POSTAGE. In reply to Mr. CRAWFORD, Mr. S. BOOTH said the amount mentioned in the re turn referred to, viz., £27,643, was calculated upon the old rate; and not on those now charged. The addition to that sum from the increased charge would be about .£2,000 a month. An accurate account of the sums received from the outward and inward India mail was kept. TREATMENT OF PRISONERS. Mr. STOCK asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether the law in Ireland was the same as that iu Eng land with regard to the treatment of prisoners convicted of seditious libel? The Earl of MAYO said there was no such classification with respect to persons found guilty of misdemeanours in Ireland such as existed in England. In this country the judge had the power of ordering whether the offender should b 3 confined as a first-class misdemeanant, and the regulations for the: reatment of such persons were made by the justices at the sessions. FORTIFICATIONS. Colonel SYKES asked the Secretary to tho Treasury whether the Treasury minute, dated the 16th August, 1867, for the audit of the sums granted for fortifications annually had boon carried into effect, and whether the results would be laid upon the tabl,t. Mr. S. BOOTIE said the audit was being carried out, and the result would be laid on the table with the least possible delay. ALLEGED BRITISII CAPTIVES. Mr. B. COCHRANE asked the Secretary of State for India if it was the intention of the Government to send out any person to the East Coast of Africa to inquire into the truth of a report that there wore detained as prisoners, by the Somali tribe, some survivors of the ship St. Abbs, which was wrecked off Tenadi Nuova in 1855. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said he had received a deputa tion from the Geographical Society on this subject, the ob ject of which was to have some person sent out by the Government to inquire into the truth of such a statement. The Government could not consent to empower any person to act in such a matter with a country with which we had no diplomatic relations. The deputation also recom mended that a reward should bo offered for reliable in formation ou the matter, and the Government had directed the police resident at Aden to offer such reward, and that was all that had been done in the matter at present. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY'S ARMY. Mr. BRUEN asked the Secretary of State for India when the bonus committee sitting in India was likely to come to a settlement of claims to compensation mado by officers iu the late East India Company's army. Sir S. NORTIICOTE said there were several commit tees sitting in the different Residencies at which the claims were being oonsidered. As fast as the recommendations arrived with respect to the claims those persons entitled received their compensation. THE STRAND UNION AND DR. ROGERS. Sir J. SIMEON asked the Secretary to the Poor-law Board what were the grounds on which the Boardaceepted the resignation of Dr. Rogers, the late medical officer of the Strand Union; and whother that resignation implied anything unfavourable to the character or to the profes sional ability of Dr. Rogers? . _ _ Sir M. BLit)lf said in December last the Board of Guardians suspended Dr. Rogers, on the ground of his continual antagonism to them. The Poor Law Board, after considering the matter, considered the guardians were right in requestino that gentleman to resign, and in notifying the same to the Poor Law Board, regretted that Dr. Rogers had placed himself in such a position, the more so as he was a gentleman of such high character and pro fessional ability. THE BANKRUPTCY LAW. Mr. MOFFATT called attention to the position of Par liament in reference to the amendment of the law of bankruptcy, and to the expediency of introducing a bill into the house for that purpose without delay. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said a bill was at pre sent under the consideration of the other house, and he hoped it would come d , )wn to them for consideration. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. The house went into committee of supply, and the vot ing of the army estimates was proceeded with. The sums required for clothing, barracks, hospitals, mid yeomanry caY6lry llayipg bola agreed to,; .£346,897 was proposed for the expense of the Volun teer force. Colonel BIRTTELOT said it was much to be regretted that so small an addition to the vote was made, because th e result might be a dwindling away of the force altogether. It was but justice that if a body of men gave their time to the country they should not be called upon to incur expenses in going to drill when such d►ill could not be performed at headquarters. Mr. D. GRIFFITH thought the State did very little for this very admirable body, and he was of opinion that the expense of procuring their clothing ought not to be cast upon the different corps. It appeared to him to bo an attempt to ride the willing horse to death. Colonel SYKES also thought the uniforms ought to bo supplied by the Government, because it was a great hardship to call upon mon who did the state service to do so out of their own private resources. When the different contributions the men ha I to make• were con sidered, it was extraordinary that th, number of the body was so well kept up. lie did not think the men ought to he called upon to pay their own expenses on such occasions as the proposed review at Portsmouth. If the Govern mtit wished the volunteer army to continuo in an ctlici,R►t state, they would soon:.r or later be compelled to act n►ore liberal towards them than heretofore. Colonel LINDSAY was of opinion that it Inv absolutely necessary that the capitation grant should be increased. As the Government had decided n a to do so, he was afraid the inefficiency of the movement would be the result. if the Government thought it was not worth while to keep up the movement, they should say 50 plainly. They, of cntrse, could not expect anything this year, but if something was not done ncxt year the volun teers would be a very small proportion of what they were at present. Sir J. PABINGTON said the intention of the volun teer movement was that the volunteers should. be a self supporting corps. If they bad proposed an increase of the vote, they would have bad a number of members objecting to it. On the order of the day for going into committee on the Election Petitions and Corrupt Practices at Elections Bill, Mr. A. MITCHELL moved a resolution affirming that while the house earnestly desires to provide the best tri bunal for the trial of controverted elections, and to insure the detection and punishment of bribery and corruption, it is not prepared to assent to any measure which aims at the destruction of its ancient privilege to hold in its own hands the power of determining who aro its mem bers. If this bill passed, the House of Commons would be under the power of a judge appointed by the Crown. He suggested that instead of the proposed tribunal, the tri bunal should consist of one member from each side of the house, with a legal assessor, and that they should report t'..) the house, and if the report was not questioned within a certai❑ time, it should be acted upon. Mr. WHITBREAD said the plan of the hon. member was itself open to objection, and would bring back the great evil which Grenville's Act was intended to remedy, the discussion in the house of the merits of election peti tions. The three great objects to be insured wore an im mediate trial, a trial on the spot, and a trial before a person well versed in the law, and these objects would bo attained by the bill. At present the house, as a house, had no power over the trial of election petitions ; it did not, as a house, appoint the committee, nor could it question the decision of the committee. Sir G. BOWYER opposed the amendment, and sug gested that instead of the tribunal proposed a special com mission should be appointed. Mr. 11. BERKELEY considered the bill was merely an attempt to get rid of the necessity of resorting to secret voting. Sir S. NORTHCOTE said the objections of tho mover of the resolution really came to this, that it was only the House of Commons that was interested in the purity of elections. Mr. W. MARTIN thought the bill would bo a very tyrannical one if it did not define clearly what bribery was. Mr. J. S. MILL said if the question wore between the bill and the amendment he should have no hesitation in deciding for the bill ; not that he thought it came up to what it ought to be. It contained only one expedient, but that was a strong one. If they wished to put down bribery they mast resort to many expedients. There was some reason in the objection against turning the jurisdic tion of the house over toa judge appointed by the Crown ; but one way of getting over this would be to make the act temporary. Ile suggested that thole should b 3 an inquiry into every election before a tribunal of barristers, with an appeal to a committee of the house. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE thought the best tribunal would be the common law judges, and suggested that two judges should be chosen by ballot for the trial of each petition. _ _ _ Mr. BOUVERIE adduced a variety of reasons against the bill, and warned the houso against placing in the hands of one person the power of saying whether a mem ber of the house, who might be the leader of the house or the leader of the opposition, was guilty of bribery, and re commended the withdrawal of the amendment. Mr. AYItTON joined in the recommendation, but ob jected to the bill, because he conceiTed that the bill was artfully designed fur the purpose of encouraging bribery and corruption. Mr. IVA LPOLE answered some of the obj.;etioes to th e measure. Mr. HENLEY strongly objected to the t►ansfer of the jurisdiction of the house to a single m►n. Mr. CRAUFURD moved the adjournment of the house, but the motion was not seconde,l. The amendment was then negatived without a division, and the house went into committee on the bill. In reply to Mr. AYKTON, Mr. DISRAELI said ho proposed to bring in analogous bills for Ireland and Scotland. The house then resumed. The house having gone into committee on the Mutiny Bill, Mr. OTWAY moved to insert the words in clause 22 to provide that no court-martial shall have power in time of peace to sentence any soldier to corporal punishment. Sir J. PAKINGTON said a great concession was made last session, when the power of inflicting corporal pun ishment was reduced to a great extent. Another reason against the motionlwas that a roya: commission was at this time inquiring into the whole system of military punish ment. Mr. Headlam, Captain Vivian. and Colonel Wilson Patten all stated that as they were members of the com mission they should abstain from voting. Sir C. RUSSELL said they were getting a better class in the army, but it was necessary to retain this power in order to maintain discipline among the ruffians in the army. The amendment was carried by 152 to 127. Another amendment was carried against the Govern ment, though no division was taken upon it, by which the power of billeting on private houses in Ireland was abolished. The remaining orders were disposed of, and the house adjourned at 20 minutes to 2 o'clock. BRITISH MINES. Cain. Consol. Gold, Um. 1 Chivcrton Clifford Amalgamated 3O 51 61 Devon G. Cons.

CORN. The trade has a firm aspect, although buyers still act cautiously. The country letters to hand this morning report an up ward tendency in the principal provincial markets. From Continental shipping ports quotations come is higher, and for Franco purchases are still being made in this market. At Mark Lano this morning there was only a moderato attendance, and the trade was quiet, but with a firm tone. The small supplies of Englisk wheat were taken off at the full terms of Monday last. Foreign wheat firmly held, and not a largo supply, but t rad° slu w. Flour may be quoted fully as dear, with a steady demand for both English and foreign. Grinding barley, quiet; malting, firm. Beans and peas moved off in retail at late rates. Maizo in moderaterequest, and unaltered in v a l ue . The liberal supplies of oats continua to be taken off steadily, without any further reduction iu prices. Linseed and rapeseed dull. Oileake firm, with stocks somewhat reduced. COTTON.

At Salford yesterday morning a man, giving the name of Russell, was arrested by the police on the supposition that he was the " Captain" Deasy who was rescued from the prison van in Hyde-road, Manchester, with " Colonel" Kelly, on the memor able 18th of September last. On Wednesday the Chief Constable received information that Deasy was lodging at the house of a man named Stand ford, 60, Ordsall-lane, Salford, close by the Ordsall station of the Manchester and Liverpool Rail way. The information being corroborated by other circumstances which had come to the knowledge of the police, the Chief Constable of Salford and an inspector of police went to the place at half-past 7 o'clock yesterday morning and found the sup posed Fenian leader asleep in bed, and having under his pillow a dagger and a loaded single-bar relled pistol. As above stated, he gave the name of Russell, and said he was a house painter. Stand ford is a night-watchman in the employ of the Wigan Coal Company. The police removed their prisoner, and it was expected he would be delivered over to the Manchester force, and brought before a magistrate for examination this (Friday) morn ing. So far as we can learn, none of the Man chester police who have yet seen the prisoner have identified him as the veritable " Captain" Deasy, though some of them speak of a resemblance. One of the reports current is that he is not Deasy ; but a Fenian financial agent who has been employed to supply the Fenians here and elsewhere with funds. A correspondent hears on good authority that there is reason to suppose that Deasy has never left the neighbourhood since his rescue. He was attacked with a dangerous sickness soon afterwards, requiring the attendance of a medical man ; yet with such fidelity have those who are privy to his place of concealment guarded the secret that the police have hitherto been b tfthd. Persons have professed to give them the secret ; but whether purposely to mislead, or because themselves mis led, is of little importance. COVENTRY ELECTION. 40 - CLOSE OF TILE POLL.
