X 0 1 ,4 Li I MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLTG RN" g CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Stock Markets are perfectly inactive. • It3usi !less from the public is evidently prejudiced by the efforta about to be made in Parliament to raise dis turbing questions, although much satisfaction is felt St the promptness with which the dis cuss i on on th e Irish Church resolutions will be taken. The Funds are stationary ; and in the principal descriptions of British railways no change of importance has been estab -Ished, though in several cases the tone is heavy and dull. The principal foreign stocks remain at previous rices, but with scarcely so good a tone as that which bas recently been prevailing. tToney is firm in price. The rate in the open Market for first-class commercial bills is 2 per cent. On the Stock Exchange the terms for short loans on good securities are a to 2 per cent. The English Funds are steady.

Lethbridge, for Alexandria, to bring back invalids from Abys sinia ; the departure of her Majesty's screw gun boat Wizard, 1, Lieutenant-Commander P. J. Murray, on the IGth instant, for a cruise in the Malta Channel, for target practice and other exer cise ; and the arrival this morning, from Palermo and Messina, of her Majesty's ironclad sloop Enter prise, 4, Commander Bosanquet. The Wizard will probably visit Syracuse, and will return here on the 21st instant. The Enterprise is to proceed to the Piraeus as soon as ready for sea, which it is ex pected will be about the 23d instant, to relieve the Lord Warden ironclad, ordered back to Malta. Her Majesty's screw frigates Endymion and Arethusa will leave for a cruise on the 21st instant. The former is to visit Naples, and possibly the Arethusa may also call there. This latter vessel is now perfectly healthy, there not having been a single case of sickness among her crew since they were landed last Mon day fortnight, and they are to go back to her to-morrow. Rear-Admiral Kellett will go to Naples in the Endytnion on leave for the benefit of his health. Her Majesty's screw sloop Racer, 11, Commander L. Brine, at present on service in con. nection with the Malta and Alexandria Telegraph, will be recalled as soon as communication can be had with her, orders having been received to send her to England. The telegraph line continues in terrupted, and it is quite uncertain when communi cation will be restored, as the defects have been found even more numerous than anticipated, and the Hawk steamer will have to return to Malta for coals before anything more can be done. Her Ma jesty's screw sloop Cruiser, 5, Commander Morgan Linger, which was at Alexandria on the 24th of February, has returned to the coast of Syria. Her Majesty's paddlewheel, steamvessel Antelope, Lieut.- Commander James Buchanan, has been ordered from the West Coast of Africa to Malta. Lieut. Charles J. Balfour has been appointed temporarily to command the despatch vessel Psyche, during the absence of Sir Francis Blackwood, sick in hospital. The Swedish screw corvette Gefle, 8 guns, Capt. Rosengren, arrived at Malta on the afternoon of the 13th inst., from Smyrna; she will probably leave to-morrow for Naples, to return here in April. The Prussian screw corvette Medusa, 17, Capt. M. Struben, bearing the flag of the North German Confederation, arrived here on the IGth inst., six days from Alexandria. There was a heavy fall of rain on the night of the 13th inst., which continued without intermission for 12 hours. The pluvi ameters showed its depth to be nearly three inches —more, it is said, than has fallen in so short a period for many years. The company of the 51st Regiment which has been stationed at Hampton Court for some time past is ordered to join the head-quarters of the corps at Aldershot this day. The Philomel and Ringdove, twin screw (unar moured, wooden) gun vessels, each of 664 tons measurement and 160-horse power, nominal, of engines, recently launched from' the dockyards of Woolwich and Portsmouth, have just made their official trials of speed over the measured mile on the completion of their outfit and preparatory to their commission for foreign service. Both vessels have been built from designs prepared under the direc tion of the Chief Constructor of the Navy, and both have been fitted with their machinery by Messrs. Maudslay, Sons, and Co. They are of the ordinary direct action pattern, as supplied by the firm to the ships of her Majesty's navy, their cylin ders having a diameter of 32in. and a length of stroke of 18in. The engines of the Philomel drive a pair of two-bladed screws, each of Bft. 6in, dia meter and with a pitch of 12ft. 7iin. The Ring dove's engines drive . a pair of three-bladed screws, each of Bft. 6in. diameter, and with a pitch of lift. 9in. The Philomel made her trial over the measured mile off the Maplin ',Sands: drawing 10ft. Sin. of water at her stern and 9ft. 4in. forward. Six runs over the mile, with full boiler power, gave the ship a mean rate of speed of 10 . 861 knots per hour ; and four runs made with half-boiler power gave her a mean rate of speed of 9 . 391 knots per hour. With full boiler power the diagrams taken gave the engines an indicated power of 968 horse, and with half-boiler power an indi cated power of 452 horse. The trial of the Ring dove, which was made over the measured mile in Stokes Bay on Friday last, was attended with less favourable conditions of weather than that of her sister vessel, the wind blowing at a force of from four to five, with sufficient water disturbance to produce a damaging effect upon the speed of so small a ship. Her draught of water was 9ft. 10in. at the stern, and Bft. 6in. forward. Six runs over the measured mile with full boiler power gave the ship a mean rate of speed of 10.632 knots, and four runs made with half boiler p ow er a me an ra t e o f 8:145 knots per hour. The engines of both ships are highly finished specimens of engineering work. Mr. H. C. Maudslay and Mr. Warriner represented the manufacturers on the trials.

BOW-STREET. Tho following appeared in our Latest Edition of yesterday evening:— This day Edward Mohan, but whose real name is Maugham, was placed at the bar before Sir Thomas Henry on a charge of treason felony, and inciting soldiers in the army to desert and join the Fenian Brotherhood. Mr. Poland appeared on the part of the Crown to prosecute, and Mr. M'Donald, instructed by Mr. W. P. Roberts, of Red Lion-square and Man chester, defended the prisoner. Mr. Poland said he should have . given some addi tional evidence to-day, but the offence being com mitted some time ago, he had some difficulty in getting the witnesses together. He would go as far as he could, but he was afraid he should have to ask for a remand. The first witness called was— Richard Macarthy, who said—l am a sapper in the Royal Engineers, stationed at Chatham. I know the prisoner. I first saw him in November, 1865, in Woolwich. I knew him there as Peter Mohan. I was introduced to him by a man named Thompson, who went by the aliases of Sinclair, Williams It. Pilsworth, the latter being, I believe, the proper name. Thompson was a civilian, and I was introduced to him by a marine in a publichouse in George-street, Woolwich. It was a month after that that I was introduced to the prisoner. I was then in the Military Train. I took the Fenian oath. Thomson administered it to me.- Mr. Poland—State the purport of the oath. Mr. M‘Donald objected to the question. Sir T. Henry decided that the witness could answer it. Witness—lt was to assist in the establishing a Republic in Ireland, and to take up arms when re quired to do so. Sir T. Henry—When and where was the oath administered ? Witness—At the beer-shop I have mentioned, and in the month of October. In about a month after that Thomson introduced me to the prisoner as a prominent member of the Fenian Brotherhood. I met the prisoner at the Duke of Wellington public-house; he was rather late in arriving, when he said he had been detained at Aldershot, when he nearly got into a scrape. Mr. Poland—What did the prisoner ask you to do ? Witness—To get as many men as I could to join the Fenian Brotherhood. I afterwards went with Malony, two or three artillerymen, and some of the Military Train, about 4or 5. The public-house I speak of was in Wellington-street, Woolwich. Thomson arrived first, the prisoner did not come until half an hour behind his time. Thomson, the prisoner Malony, and myself went out of the public house and took a walk in the street for about a quarter of a mile, during which the prisoner said he had some news from America, and that he expected that by the New-year everything would be right in Ireland. He also said he expected an expedition would sail from America for Ireland in about three weeks. The prisoner went on to say that as it was unsafe to transmit money through the Post-office he expected a messenger with some from London. The money was to be partly expended in drink where they met or to defray any travelling expenses that might be incurred, Mr. Poland—What has the prisoner said to you about the men deserting ? W i tness—He asked me how m an y I th oug ht would go. Sir T. Henry—What is that—deserting ? Witness—Yes. Sir T. Henry—What did you tell him? Witness—That I could not form any idea. Sir T. Henry—What was said when the subject of desertion was talked about ? Witness—That tha men were to go to London. Mr. Poland—Was anything sa id a b ou t c h ang i ng clothes ? Witness—Thomson and Mohan said when the men got to London they would change their regi mentals and go in plain clothes to Ireland. I knew a man named Thomas Farrell. He was a civilian. I can't say I have seen him with the prisoner and Thomson. He was a Fenian, and had been con victed in London. I also know Spriggins, a car penter in Woolwich dockyard. I have seen him with the prisoner Thomson. Spriggins is a Fe nian. Mr. APDonald—How do you know that ? Witness—He bas told me so. Examination continued—The prisoner asked me for my address, and I wrote on a piece of paper, " Private Macarthy, No. 9 troop, Military Train, Woolwich," and gave it to him. Prisoner put the paper in his pocket. Prisoner did not say anything to me when he asked for my address further than that he should want to write to me. I saw that paper again in Woolwich at the end of the year 1865. It was then in the posses sion of the police. The prisonernever wrote to me, neither did I desert the service. I never left Woolwich. Sir T. Henry you never exchanged your clothes? Witness—No. Sir T. Henry—Did you communicate with your commanding officer ? Witness--Yes. I told my commanding officer immediately after Malony deserted. Capt. Powell was the officer of No. 9 troop. I did not see the men before they deserted at Woolwich. Farrell was at Woolwich the day they went away. It was in Jan., 1866. I cannot recollect the day I was at the Thames Police-court. I was there to give evi dence against Farrell and another man. Sir T. iienry—Did you tell your captain tha you had taken the Fenian oath? Witness—Yes, sir, I did. Sir Thos. Henry —When did you change from the Military Train to the Engineers ? Witness—Last May, sir, at Chatham. John Malony recalled—ln addition to his evi dence given last Monday he said, in answer to ques tions—l went to Vine-court, Whitechapel, to a house kept by a man named Butler. I slept there the night I deserted. I changed my clothes there. Driver Thomas Farrell, of the Royal Artillery ; gunner Michael Farrell, sth Brigade ; gunners Thos. Connolly and Neil Coningliam, sth Brigade; James Gough, Military Train; William Leonard, Military Train ; M•Carthy, Royal Artillery, field battery ; and Jeremiah Sullivan, Royal Horse Artillery, were also at the house, and they all exchanged their uni forms for plain clothes in that house. There were two other soldiers besides, but I forget their name 3. Sir T. Henry—Did they all go to Ireland ? Witness—They did, sir. Sir T. Henry—ln plain clothes ? Witness—Yes, sir. Sir T. Henry—Then eleven men went to Ireland altogether. Witness—Yes, sir• _ Mr. Poland—Do you know the Christian name of the Farrell who was not a soldier, but who came up with you from Woolwi c h? Witness—Yes, sir ; Thomas Farrell. The pri soner met us at London Bridg e when we came away from 'Woolwich. He met us with cabs, and stood some drink before we went to Vine-street. Mr. Poland—Was Thomson the man we have been speaking about, and who was tried in Ireland. Witness—Yes, in April, 1867. He pleaded guilty of treason-felony, and was sentenced to 10 years' penal servitude . The trial took place in Dublin and I was p resent i n court. Inspector William Holloway, of the H division of police, was at the station when F arre ll an d B u tl er were brought in in custody. It was the 31st of December, 1865. A pocket-book was found on him. I examined it and found tho piece of paper with Macarthy's address on it [This was the identical p i ec e of paper which the witness Malony gave to the prisoner at Woolwich]. The witness also produced a quantity of military accoutrements which had been taken from the house in Viuc-court. There were portions belonging to the Royal Engineers, Military Train, Grenadier Guards, the Royal Irish, and Tower Hamlets Vo lunteer Regiments. Constable Dunnaway said--I found all the arti cles produced by the inspector to-day when I searched the house in Vine -street two years ago. The owner was taken into custody for inciting sol diers to desert. Mr. Poland said that was as far as he was pre pared to go to-day, but he should have evidence on the next occasion when certain important parti culars would be proved against the prisoner. The prisoner was then remanded for a week. SUARE LlST.—This Day. ihare I Closing .

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at five o'clock. BANKRUPTCY ACT REFORM BILLS. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that he would now go into a detail of the nature of these bills, which it" was not convenient to do when first introduced. He would remind their lordships that the last consolidated measu:• iu bankruptcy was in 1849, and no alteration took place until 1859. His noble and learned friend, then Lord Chancellor, who introduced the bill of 1859, added to it four extremely important measures. One was the total abolition of imprisonment for debt. It made also a dis tinctiou between trader and non-trader. It regulated the proceedings of trustees, and also provided for composi tion with creditors. In 1861 another bill was introduced, which provided very similar dis tinctions. (Hear.) It was found, however, that there was sums inconvenience in the working of this hill, and some dissatisfaction was expressed. A select com mittee was appointed, which sat during the years 1861-65. In the latter that committee reported their opinion as to th. 4 alteration in the bankruptcy laws in 32 clauses, and with the exception of one or two clauses his bills were imilar. His act was a consolidated one, and when thoy were drawn any one having them in his hand would know what was the whole of the bank ruptcy laws. lie would go through the different points which he wished their lordships to adopt. The first was the question of imprisonment for debt. Of course they knew that after judgment execution could bo taken, and the debtor might be taken into custody. Under the rew bill they proposed to abolish imprisonment for debt altogether, that is to say, at the option of the creditor. Their lordships would then ask what they would provide instead of imprisonment for debt after judgment. They proposed that he should be required to give security, like an absconding debtor, or be put into prison in default of doing so. lie would then resort to the Court of Bankruptcy. Of course there would remain, finally, the imprisonment from County Courts This brought him to the system of imprisonment from these courts. He proposed that no committal should be . made in any County Court except by the Judge himself, and then only in open court, and that every County Court should make an annual return to Parliament of the num ber of persons so committed. Individually he would be glad to see imprisonment for debt abolished, but at pre-_ sent it would be difficult to abolish it all at once, though he thought the course he recommended would lead to reduction of the hardship. His lordship then went on to point out the provisions of his bill as regarded persons made bankrupt on their own petition, and the checks which he proposed to impose on this increasing practice, and also the grounds on which he would give the Court the right to suspend the order of discharge in certain cases. lie proposed no new courts nor new Judges; but oa the contrary, that the district courts should be ab sorbed and closed as each Commissioner led. Lord WESTBURY, like the Lord Chancellor, dwelt most strongly upon the evils and inconsistencies of the present law, and pointed out the frauds which were almost openly committed under it. If a really competent tribunal was erected under the new acts, the frauds and plunder now complained of would be prevented, and confidence in the administration of bankruptcy would be restored, for ' creditors would feel some assurance of receiving what an estate was capable of producing without being subject to the present enormous deductions. Lord CHELMSFORD, after coinciding with the pre vious spealy.rs as to the great difficulties which lay in the way of satisfactory legislation on this subject, gave a gene ral support to the principles of the bills, and agreed, as had been suggested, that they should be referred to a select committee, where they might receive the consideration of noble and learned lords who had devoted special attention to the subject, and who would put the measure in the best possible shape. Lord ROMILLY thought the bill saemed to go in the right direction, but did so very timidly. He agreed in all the condemnations that had been passed on the present state of the law, but was still not at all sanguine about the success of this bill, and could not help thinking that the Lord Chancellor was right when he said 'his bill would probably not be found quite satisfactory. If the bill came before the house from a select committee, he would pro pose several amendments in it which, in his opinion, were required to place the measure on a proper basis. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in reply, very briefly de fended the principal clauses of the bill, and said that the chief evils of the existing system of bankruptcy were too much official interference and too great expense. In that sentence all the defects of the law of bankruptcy wore comprised, and the best way was to make the creditors themselves the masters of the estate, through the inter vention of a trustee appointed by themselves. The bills were then read a second time, and their lord ships adjourned. IIOUSE OF COMMONS—LAST EVENING, The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. E. A. LEATHAM took the oath and his seat for Hud. dersfield: THE IRISH CHURCH. Mr. GLADSTONE, who, on rising, was received with loud cheers, said ho now proposed to give notice of the exact terms of his motion on the subject of the Church in Irelaud. His motion would take the form of three resolutions, the first of which would declare that in the opinion of the house the time had arrived when it was expedient that the Established Church in Ireland should cease as an establishment, due regard being had to the interests and rights of property. (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") The second resolution stated that in order to prevent inconve nience no new personal interests should be created by the exercise of any public patronage ; and the third reso lution would take the form of an humble address to her Majesty praying that her Majesty would be graciously pleased to place her interests in archbishoprics, bishoprics, and benefices, therefore, into the hands of the house • (Hear, and cheers.) He had now to ask the right hon. gentleman the result of the request that he had made to him on Friday last with a view of fixing a day upon which the matter could be taken into consideration. If he could not make arrange ments to assist him in bringing forward his motion, then he should feel it his duty to bring it forward the first day he could regularly make his proposal, and that was on the house going into committee of supply next Friday. Mr. DISRAEL I, who also was received with loud cheers, said it required no time to consider the course that ought to be taken when a matter of such great importance was proposed for discussion, especially when such a pro posal was made by one's opponents. (Hear, hear.) It was most desirable to meet it as soon as possible. lie had no hesitation, however, is saying that the state of public business was not at all in a satisfactory state. It was of primary importance that his right hon. friend the Se,ero tary of War should get a vote to-night, and thee he pro posed to bring forward the Mutiny Bill, the discussion on which could bo taken on going into committee. If the vote for the army was taken to-night then he should have proposed to have taken the discussion on the right hon. gentleman's motion on that week, but the bill for the amendment of the representation of the people of Ireland stood for that day, and there were also matters connected with the boundary commission standing for consideration, in order that the dissolution which it was desirable should take place next year might not be interfered with. Look ing, however, to the subject the right hon. gentleman had proposed, and which was of such vast and paramount im portance, ho thought it best that it should be taken into consideration on Monday next, and, trusting to its being concluded on Thursday, he did not propose, after such a debate and struggle as would be certain to ensue, to ask the house to sit during the following week. (Hear, hear.) lie did not make any promise on the subject, but reserved to himself the right of doing so if it should bo absolutely necessary. How - ever, under any circumstances, they would be quite pre pared to meet the motion of the right hon. gentleman on Monday next. (Hear, hear.) Mr. GLADSTONE said the arrangement of the right hon gentleman was perfectly satisfactory. COMPULSORY CHURCH RATE ABOLITION BILL. In reply to an HON. MEMBER, Mr. GLADSTONE said he should not move the third reading of the Compulsory Church Rate Abolition Bill, which stood on the paper for that evaniug after half-past 12. (Laughter.) SALE OF LIQUORS ON SUNDAY BILL. Mr. ROEBUCK said he had sent a communication to the hon. member for Chichester asking him to attend that evening in order that he might ask him a question with respect to his bill for regulating the sale of liquors on Sun days. Ho wished to know at what hour that evening the hon, gentleman proposed to nominate the select com mittee to whom the bill had been referred. (Hear, hear.) The army estimates would doubtless occupy the house up to 12 o'clock; the right hon. gentleman had intimated his intention to move the third reading of the Church Rate Abolition Bill up to half-past 12, and now ho wished to know whether the commitee would be decided after that bill had been disposed of. Mr. J. ABEL SMITH said it was difficu:t to give an answer to the question, but at all events ho would not bring it ou after one o'clock. (Loud laughter.) The following are the names of members to be proposed as the Select Committee ou Sale of Liquors on Sunday Bill : —Mr. John Abel Smith, Mr. Hibbert, Mr. William Edward Foster, Mr. Horsfall, Mr. Baines, Mr. Lusk, Me. Leeman, Mr. John Bright, Sir James Fergusson, Mr. Locke, Mr. Labouchere, Mr. Laird, Mr. Powell, Mr. Stop ford, and Mr. Knatchbull-Hugessen : --F iv() to be the quorum. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPHS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER gave notice that on 'Thursday he would bring in a bill to empower the Postmaster-General to acquire and obtain the direction of the electric telegraphs. THE ARMY ESTIMATES. The house then went into committee, of supply, and Sir J. I'AELNGION rose to MOW the army estimates. The gross total required for effective and non-effective services was X 15,455,400 against £14,388,000 last year. The right hon. gentleman proceeded to refer to the differentitems making up the above totals, and remarked that, wi,h re spect to recruiting, it was at present progressing most satisfactorily. There was a matter which he hoped soon to see abolished, and that was the scenes that were now so familiar at public houses, a matter altogether most objec tionable. (Hear, hear.) He was glad to say that General Edwards, the Chief of the Recruiting Department, also was of opinion that the using of public-houses for such a pur pose was altogether most objectionable, and it was pro posed to form recruiting depots in all the large towns in the country. (Hear, hear.) They had at pre sent two of those depots —one in London and the other in 'Bristol, both of which had worked so satisfac torily, and an extension of the system could not but be considered beneficial both for the country and the recruit. (Hear, hear.) In the militia there was an increase of £Bl,OOO, bat this was produced by the receipt of allowing lodging money to officers. The case of the Quartermasters had also been con sidered with respect to the same subject, and it had been determined to increase the amount given to them as lodging money, - viz., 108. to 14s. per week. He also proposed to carry out the arrangement made by his g Want friend the member for Huntingdon (General Peel) of forming the militia into a reserve foie() of 30,000 men, ready at any emergency to join the regular army, and General Lindsay had been appointed to the command of that reserve force. The hon. gentle man then went on to refer to the charge of the volunteers, which he said amounted in the present year to £385,150, an increase of £24,150, and he expressed his regret that he was unable to increase the capitulation grant. In the number of neon there was a slight decrease —from 137,245 to 136,650—and there were slight increases in the clothing and barrack votes. On the Hospital vote there was also an appa'rent increase of aboat £105,000, caused by the transfer of the medical officers from one vote to another. Sir John next explained his reasons for not agreeing entirely in the report of the committee on retire ment in the Artillery and Engineers, and he congratulated General Peel on the unqualified success of the change he had made in the recruiting system, which was shown by the large number of re -engagements, the unusually small discrepancy between the actual establishment and the numbers voted, and the improvement in the class of re cruits. He stated, too, his intention of carrying out some of the recommendations of the recruiting commission as to military schools. Passing to the Reserve Forces, Sir John stated that in the Militia Vota there was an 'increase of a little over XBl,OOO, caused by an increase in the number of men and by the allow ance of lodging money to the quartermasters. In the Volunteer vote there was also au increase of £24,150, the capitation grant having risen from £205,500 to £228,235 ; while the efficients had risen from 115,427 to 124,605, and the extra-efficients from 78,280 to 90,515. He canvassed the claim of the Volunteer officers for an increase in the capitation grant—justifying .his refusal—and announced his intention to place trio Militia, Volunteers, and Reserve forces generally under the command of one officer, Gen. Lindsay. On the votes for stores and supplies, he explained that the increase was chiefly apparent, arising from a trans fer of charge. It was proposed to convert this year 160,000 Enfolds to Sniders, against 210,000 last year, at a cost of £159,604, and this would exhaust the Enfields available for conversion. With regard to the arm of the future, Sir John mentioned that no decision had yet been come to, but Lord Spencer's sub committee was inquiring into it, and he expressed a strong belief that no country possessed a better arm than the Snider. Pointing out that it would be ne cessary immediately to undertake considerable expense for arming the fortifications which we had already built in different parts of the world, he announced his intention to place the manufacturing establishments at Woolwich under the control of a commandant, and in the concluding part of hisspeech he canvassed at length the recommenda tions of Lord Strathnairn's Committee on Army Admini stration, and explained what be intended to do towards carrying them out. Sir H. Stocks and General Balfour had been added to the War-office, and they had already drawn up plans for improving the external control of the War Department and the ;system of audit, which would lead to a considerable saving. They were also prepared to recommend changes in the Transport Service, which would give us a most complete system. The Marquis of HARTINGTON complained of the continuous tendency of the Army Estimates to increase under the present Government, and contrasted it with the decrease effected by the late Government. As to the plan for reorganising the administration of the army, it would require very close investigation, and he deprecated a pre mature discussion of it. General PEEL pointed out that for our increased ex penditure we had got a vastly improved system of recruit ing, and had armed our troops with breech-loaders. The usual desultory conversation followed, embracing all the points touched on in Sir J. Pakington's speech. Towards the close of it Mr. Otway moved to reduce the total num ber of mon to be voted for the army by 2,758, being half the garrisons of the West Indies and the Mauritius, grounding his motion both on economical and sanitary grounds. Ile contended that our garrisons in these and similar stations were of no military value, that their real defence must be by sea, and ho also insisted that our colonies should bear a greater share in tha expenses of their own defence. Mr. CARDWELL also spoke in favour of impressing on the colonies that they must no longer trust entirely to British troops for their defence. Major Anson and Capt. Vivian spoke in favour of the motion, and Sir J. PAKINGTON gave further explanations of the Estimates, and to Mr. Otway he replied that these colonial garrisons were a part of our old policy which could not be changed in a moment. Ultimately Mr. Otway withdrew his motion, and the vote of 138,691 men was agreed to, making up, with the sums taken already on account, £5,378,379 pay allowances and charges. .£1,239,807 Commissariat establishment. Several orders Were advanced a stage, and the house adjourned at 5 minutes past 1 o'clock. SPECIAL CONSTABLES.—'rhe period for which special constables were sworn in last December, after the alarm occasioned by the Clerkenwell outrage and explo sion, has in many instances expired ; the warrants of many others will expire this day ; and others in the course of the present month. It is not, we believe, intended by her Majesty's Government to ask for any fresh powers, but to rely on the ordinary powers of the City and Metropolitan police force for the preservation of the peace. The jus tices in special sessions alone have the power to order plyment from time to time of such reasonable allowances to special constables for their trouble, loss of time, and expenses, and also order the payment of such expenses as may have been incurred in providing staves and other necessaries. It is understood that the justices of the various divisions in the metropolis will meet in the course of next week to make the orders usual in such cases. THE VOLUNTEER REVIEW AT PORTSMOUTH. — The lodging-house keepers at Portsmouth aro asking such unreasonable sums for accommodation during the week of the forthcoming review that there is every probability that the number of volunteers who attend the review will be much smaller than on previous Easter Mondays. From ss. to as much as 20s. per night is asked for single beds in private houses. The mayor and the review committee, aided by the local press, are doing what they can to show the folly of such conduct, but at present with little success. The people seem bent upon " killing the goose that lays the golden eggs," and their success in fleecing visitors on the occasion of the naval review last year has encouraged a repetition of their greediness. It is creditable to the hotel keepers to state that, with few exceptions, they have let their beds to the volunteers at the usual prices, varying from ls. 6d. to 3s. per night. FENIAN EXCITEMENT IN VICTORIA, VANCOUVER'S ISLAND.—SAN FRANCISCO, March 9.• Advices from. Vic toria of the 7th of March state that the excitement caused by the threatened Fenian invasion continues. A gunboat had been stationed in the harbour, and a largo body of Marines placed on board. The powder magazine opposite the city and the different engine-houses were strongly guarded. The volunteers bad received orders to hold themselves in readiness in .ase their services should be required. Every precaution had been taken to secure the safety of the city. The nature of the startling informa tion was only known to the authorities, but the general impression prevails that they have been hoaxed. THE TEA TRADE, March 23.—The deliveries in London, made up for the week, are 1,390,3461 b., being a decrease of 2,380,7801 b. compared with the previous week. SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—Visitors during the week ending March 21 :—On Monday, Tuesday, and Saturday, free from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m., 10,968 ; on Wed nesday, Thursday, and Friday (admission 6d.), from 10 a.m. till 5 p.m. 1,697—t0ta1, 12,665. Average of correspond ing week in former years, 10,773. Total from the opening of the Museum, 7,255,358. Patent-office Museum, South Kensington.—Number of visitors for the week ending March 21, 8,720 ; total number sines the opening of the museum free daily (12th of May, 1858), 1,261,042. THE Loss OF THE JAMES C. BELL.—This vessel, a wooden sailing ship of 600 tons, with a cargo of coal for Bombay, was abandoned by her crew off the coast of Corn wall, and afterwards wrecked, at the beginning of the month. A Board of Trade court inquiry sitting at Liver pool yesterday acquitted the captain, and restored him his certificate. By an error in making up the coal returns on board her Majesty's ship Minotaur the amount con sumed on the occasion of her continuous steaming trial on Wednesday last between Spitbead and St. Alban's Head was stated to have been 95 tons. It should only have been 75 tons; and thin included what was burnt before and after the six hours' trial, in taking the ship out from and bringing her back to Spithead. The newspapers aro teeming with references to econo my in tea by co-operation. Horninan and C'o. have for 80 years co- operated through Agents to supply tea on more advantageous terms than by the ordinary channel; their tea reaches the consumer in the same pure state as it leaves the grower, as it is secured in packets.
