The Stock Markets keep steady in the absence of any disturbing occurrences, but there is so little business going forward that quotations do not ad vance. The downward tendency of the corn mar ket, which is further illustrated by a reduction of is this morning, and the large arrivals of gold taking place, are two circumstances which exercise a favourable influence. The telegram reporting the ultimate abandonment of the Egyptian lean caused at first a little stir, but it has almost sub sided now. Railways are unsettled, owing to the approaching settlement indicating that in consequence of large quantities of stock being locked up, loans of Particular descriptions will not be got without difficulty. The Discount Market is again easier, and dis counters are readily working at 2 per cent. and upward , . The supply is full, and the large arrivals now taking place encourage the opinion that the money on offer will still further increase. The corn market is dull, and is lower.

A COURAGEOUS SERVANT GlRL. —William Sin clair, a rough-looking young man, who refused his address, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing at No. 91, Newman-street, Oxford-street, a black leather bag, containing valuable papers, &c., the property of a gentleman lodging in the house, and also with violently assaulting Elizabeth AlTarlan, a young woman, servant to Mrs. Jane Allen, landlady of the house. Elizabeth M'Farlan said—Oa Saturday night, about 11 o'clock, on returning from fetching the supper beer, my mistress, Mrs. Allen, called me into the parlour, and we found that a black bag belonging to a gentleman, who occupied the par lour, but who was then out of town, had been re moved from the sofa where it was always kept, Directly afterwards my mistress kicked against the bag, which was on the floor, and on looking about the room we found the prisoner under a table. The prisoner then got up and made towards the street door, and struck me with the beer jug, which I had placed on the table, and as he was coming towards me to strike me again I knocked him down, fell upon him, and thus held him down. We rollel about the passage and struggled hard together, I screaming all the time. My mistress went upstairs and screamed "Murder" out of the window. We continued struggling together for some time, the prisoner telling the he would mur der me if I did not get up. I got up at the same time that the prisoner did, and ha then made for the street-door, seizing a brass candlestick, and on my attempting to seize bold of him again he struck me a blow on the head with the candlestick, cutting my head and bending the candlestick, and as the prisoner got out of the door I called out to stop him, and a young man knocked him down, and lie was afterwards taken into custody. The Prisoner—l went to the wrong house it ap pears. (Laughter.) The Rev. Thomas Berney said—The bag pro duced ai my property and containing valuable papers, and also a pair of boots, were always kept on the sofa. Robert Anderson, a young man, residing at Camden-passage, Islington-green, a French polisher, said—l was going along Newman-street on Satur day evening when I beard screams and tussling in the passage of No. 91, followed directly afterwards by screams of " Murder" from the first floor win dow. Presently the street door opened, and some one from the inside said, on my pushing the door, "Don't open it, or he will get away." The pri soner then came out, as he was doing so beating the young woman back, and I knocked him down and held him down till a constable came, and he was then taken into custody. Paul Burgess, 10 ER, said—l took the prisoner into custody, and on the way he threw away a key which had been filed so as to open latch doors. Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the witness Anderson)—ln what condition was the young woman when you saw her ? Witness—She was bleeding from the head, and her hair was all about her face. • At the request of the police the prisoner was remanded. THAMES. STEALING PAVING STONE.—John Hobson, aged 30 years, a carman, of No. 5, Love-lane, Shadvrell, and Matthew George Sharpley, 32, cowke:_tper, of the Model Dairy Farm, Whitehorn-street, Brom ley, were brought before Mr. Benson, charged, the first with stealing, and the other with receiving. knowing to be stolen, 36 feet of paving stone, the property of Mr. George West, paviour, of No. 94, Cannon-street-road. ➢ir. Gomm, clerk to Mr. Hodgson, solicitor, de fended Sharpley. It appeared that Mr. West had been paving a new thoroughfare called Woolmore-street, Stepney, where a good deal of Yorkshire stone was lying about. He had missed large quantities of it. Hob son was in the employ of the prosecutor, and it was proved by a young man named Telling, of No. 1, Blackthorn-street, Bromley, that he had seen the prisoner go into Sharpley's yard with a cart-load of stone on Tuesday last ; there was another man with him. On Satut day, the prosecutor, accompanied by a police-constable named Joseph Sargent, No. 322 A R, went to Sharpley's premises, where they discovered 36 fe,A of Yorkshire stone, valued at 225., which Mr. West believel to be his property. It was only a small portion of the stone missing. Sharpley said he did not know how the stone came into his premises, and that he was uot_at home when it arrived. Mr. Gomm said, in the defence of Sharpley, that there was no evidence against him, that he wai not present when the paving material arrived in his yard, that it was not proved that he ordered it to be brought there, or that he had ever paid for it. Mr. Benson—The property was in his cow-yard. He has been here recently ? Mr. Gomm—Yes, as a prosecutor. Mr. Benson—l recollect he was here as a prose cutor. I will take his own recognizance to appear here on Thursday. Hobson is remanded. SHIPPING INTELLIGENCE —This Day. (BY TELEGRAPH.)

The fire was caused by the friction of machinery in the blowing-room, and it was not extinguished until the building and contents had been damaged to the extent of £3OO or £4OO. PETROLEUM AS A FUEL FOR LOCOMOTIVES.—On April 21st, in Boston, Massachusetts, a number of gentle men, largely interested in the utilizing of fuel upon loco motive engines, wore invited by Colonel Henry R. Foote to witness his apparatus adapted for this specific purpos_,. The party was mostly composed of railroad engineers. Tho experiment was made upon a stationary boiler of the locomotive typo, in one of the largest machine shops in the city. From the time that the fire was first kindled steam was generated at the rate of two pounds per minute, and in 20 minutes the engine was working •under a pressure of sixty pounds of steam and blowing off. Tho simple and expeditious process of making and extinguishing the fire was exhibited•to the engineers, eliciting their greatest admiration. The fire produced was pronounced to bo the most perfect over witnessed by these practical men, and was far more intense than anything they had ever wit nessed before. This exhibition was simply illustrative of the fire that is shortly to be kindled under the boiler of a locomotive on the Fitchburg Laihead.— Wall-street Journal. THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MAY 11, 186 S. DEATH OF LORD BROUGHAM. We have the painful duty of announcing the death of Lord Brougham, which took placa at his ►eat at Cannes, iu the south of France, sucldetily, on Thursday night. The venerable peer, who would have reached his 90th year on his next birthday, had been in the en joyment of excellent health, and was in the habit of taking carriage airings every day since the fine weather set in, and even did so on Thursday after noon. Ile returned at his usual dinner hour, and retired to rest between eight and nine o'clock. When he retired he is stated to have been in his usual health and spirits. As was customary, some of the domestics before retiring went into his apart ment, and to their astonishment found him dead in his bed. The answer to inquiries made late on Saturday night at his town residence, 21, Berkeley square, was that the telegram which had been re ceived from Lord Brougham's brother, who was staying with him at Canncs, stated hint to have " died in his sleep." The following summary of the deceased noble man's long and distinguished career is from " Men of the lime :" Brougham. and Vaux, Lord, Henry Brougham, F.R.S., &c., was the eldest son of the late Henry Brougham, Esq., of Scales Hall, Cumberland, and Brougham Hall, Westmoreland, by Eleanor, daughter of the Rev. James Syme, maternal niece of the historian Robertson, and was born in St. Andrew's-square, Edinburgh, September 19, 1779. Ile received the first seeds of his education at the High School, Edinburgh, under Mr. Luke Fraser, and afterwards under Dr. Adam, author of the celebrated treatise ou " Roman Antiquities ;" and from the High School he passed, in due course of time, to the University of Edinburgh, where he was a pupil of Dugald Stewart, Black, Robinson, and several other well-known professors. It was by his aptness for mathematical and physical science that he first made himself distinguished, his earliest pub lished production being a paper on the refraction and reflection of light, which was printed in the " Transactions of the Royal Society for 1798." This he followed up by another paper ou the same subject, published in the succeeding year in the "Transac tions," and by a third paper printed in the same place in 1798, entitled " General Theorems, being chiefly Porisms in the higher Geometry." Still the early bent of his taste was for the bar, and ac cordingly, after a lengthened tour in Prussia and Holland (in which he was accompanied by the late Lord Stuart do Rothesay), he was admitted an advocate of the Scottish bar in 1800. Residing at Edinburgh, he took a prominent part in the de bates of the Speculative Society of that metropolis, and was one of the chief writers in the Edinburgh Review while that periodical was still in i:s in fancy. Even down to the year 1828 he con tinued to write regularly for its pages, and his pen, up to that time, had been the most frequent and the most versatile of all that were employed upon it. In 1803, when only 24 years of age, he published his " Inquiiy into the Colonial Policy of the European Powers," in two vols, Bvo., a work of vast research, and of great breadth and compre hensiveness of view for a young man. In 1804 Mr. Brougham determined to exchange the Scottish for the English bar, and with this view took up his residence in London. In the year 18C8 he was called to the bar at Lincoln's Inn, and entered upon practice as a barrister in the King's Bench on the Northern Circuit. The first occasion which made his eloquence familiar to the ears of the British public was his advocacy of the c ►use of the merchants of Liverpool, London, and Manchester, who complained of the injury done to their trade by the operation of the famous Orders in Council, by which the Government thought to retaliate on the decrees of Napoleon. Though unsuccessful in ob taining the repeal of the noxious orders, he added considerably to his reputation as an advocate, and soon afterwards was returned to Parliament as member for Camelford, a pocket borough iu the patronage of the late Duke of Cleveland, then Earl of Darlington. He made his first speech iu the House of Commons on March 5, 181.0, in the de bate on Mr. Whitbread's motion of censure on the Earl of Chatham, for privately transmitting t) the King his narrative of the expedition to the Sehellt. The speech was good and even eloquent, but 10 gave little promise of the forensic efforts of Mr. Brougham during the next few years, when the House of Commons became conscious that in his presence it possessed an orator such as had not sat within the wails of St. Stephen's since the days of Burke, Pitt, and Fox. Of all his contemporaries Canning was the,only one who could in any degree contend with him on equal terms. It would be impossible, within the space of this notice, to give anything like a complete account of the poli tical career of Mr. Brougham whilst he held a seat in the House of Commons. It will be sufficient to say that, after the close of the war in 1815, the attention of the Government and the people alike was turned to domestic affairs and matters of internal regulation ; and that to the discussion of these subjects Mr. Brougham brought a well-in formed and versatile mind, an enlightened philan thropy, liberal opinions, and a burning zeal against tyranny, wrong, and oppression. His efforts on behalf of the abolition of flogging in the army, the repeal of Catholic disabilities, reform in the govern ment of India, the spread of education, the improve ment of prison management, the abolition of slavery, law reform, and the independence of the public Press, will never be forgotten by a grateful people. Mr. Brougham remained out of Parlia ment from 1812 to 1816, when he was returned for the since-disfranchised borough of Winchilsea by the influence of his old friend and patron the Earl of Darlington, and he continued to represent that constituency until early in 1830, when he resigned his seat, and was immediately elected member for Knaresborough. During this time he spoke much and often on the reduction of taxation, the repeal of the property-tax, and other kindred subjects, and in 1818 obtained a Parliamentary committee for inquiry into abuses connected with the educational foundations of the United King dom, the first commencement of time movement in favour of popular education. During 1820 and the following year he was mainly en gaged profeesioually in Westminster Hall as Attorney-General to her Majesty Queen Caroline, whose cause he advocated successfully against George IV., with something more than the zeal of a common advocate, and his eloquence had a wonderful effect in securing on her behalf, as a woman and a wife, the sympathy of the British people. In 1825 Mr. Brougham was elected Lord Rector of Glasgow University, as a mark of appre ciation of his zeal in the cause of education, and of his• foundation of mechanics' institutes in con junction with the late Dr. Birkbeck. In 1827 he laid the foundation of the Society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, of which he was also the first president. The first publication of this society was Mr. Brougham's discourse " On the Objects ; Pleasures, and Advantages of Science." In the month f August, 1830, Mr. Brougham had the satisfaction of being chosen to re present the county of York, and in that capa city became the acknowledged champion of the cause of Parliamentary Reform. A day had been actually appointed fot his motion on the subject, when the Duke of Wellington sent in his resigna tion to the King, and Earl Grey was appointed Premier in his place. Owing to a combination of circumstances, the nation was much surprised to learn from the Gazette a few days afterwards that the Chancellorship in the new Administration had been entrusted to Mr. Brougham, who was at the same time raised to the peerage as Lord Brougham and Vaux. From November, 1830, to November, 1834, Lord Brougham was thoroughly identified with the policy pursued by Lord Grey, and after wards by his successor, the late Lord Melbourne ; and the defence and support of the Reform Bill in the Upper House devolved almost entirely on the hands of his lordship, who has thus summed up the series of measures carried into effect dur ing these few brief years :—" The abolition of slavery in all our colonies ; the opening of the East India trade, and the destruction of the Company's monopoly ; the amendment of the criminal law; vast improvements in the whole municipal jurisprudence, both as regards law and equity ; the settlement of the Bank Charter ; the total reform of the Scotch Municipal Corporations ; the entire alteration of the poor laws ; and an ample commencement made in reforming the Irish Church, by the abolition of ten bishoprics." His speeches in the House of Lords during these eventful years form a large proportion of the entire collection, as published in Hansard. In November, 1834, Sir Robert Peel assumed the reins of Govern ment, and Lord Brougham resigned office with his colleagues. The Whig Ministry of Lord Mel. bourne, however, returned to power in the following April, but Lord Brougham was not reappointed to the C hancellorship. The reason of his exclusion must be left for the future biographer and historian to tell. Since that time his lordship has continued to hold an independent position in the Upper House, freely criticising the measures of "Whig and Tory Governments alike, but paying constant and careful attention to the leg al business of the house as one of the " law lords." In 1818 his lordship, who had previously purchased au estate at Cannes, in the south of France, proposed to the newly-established French Republic to be naturalised as a citizen in that country ; but, in re ply to his application, he was informed by M. Alarras that his wish could be carried out only by his ceasing to be an English peer. During the period which has elapsed since his release from the duties of the Senate and the forum Lord Brougham has contributed largely to the list of modern publi cations. In 1838 he published the collected edition of his speeches, with notes and introductions, and a discourse on the eloquence of the ancients. He has also edited " Paley's Natural Theology," and writ ten "Dissertations on Subjects of Science connected with Natural Theology." In 1839 appeared the first of his " Historic Sketches of Statesmen who flourished in the Reign of George a work which he completed in 1813, and two years later published his " Lives of Alen of Art and Science" belonging to the same peried. He also edited the speech of Demosthenes de Corona. A new and complete edition of Lord Brougham's works, in cluding his "Political Philosophy," as yet incom plete, and other political and mathematical treatises, has recently been published under his own superin tendence, by Messrs. Griffin and Co., of Glasgow. After the passing of the Reform Bill, and since his retirement from official life, Lord Brougham has exerted his energies in working out his favourite scheme of law amendment, and in the establish ments of courts in which cheap justice might be dealt out to the middle and lower classes. So early, indeed, as in the month of June, 1830, he intro duced into the House of Commons, a measure, " the declared object of which," in the words of a contemporary memoir, " was to bring justice home to every man's door at all times of the year by the establishment of local courts. By this bill the law of arbitration was to be extended, the general local jurisdiction established, and courts of reconcile ment were to be introduced." This measure, some what modified, is now seen in full operation in the county courts, established about twelve years since. A succession of other bills for the reform of pro ceedings in bankruptcy were afterwards introduced by Lord Brougham, who, from his first entrance into the Upper House, " has laboured for the im provement of the law with a zeal approaching to enthusiasm." in 1 850 Lord Brougham resume d his scientific researches, and communicated to the Royal Society a paper of " Experim en t s an d Ob servations on the Properties of Light," which he followed up by further papers on the same subject in 1852 and 1853, in which he proves the principle upon which Newton established his theory of light to be inconclusive. In 1855 he published, in con junction with E. J. Routh, Esq., an •' Analytical View of Newton's Prin ci pia." He has since given to the world a paper on the " Integral Calculus," and has contributed further articles on Light to the Transactions of the Institute of France, of which body he was a member, and beforewhoin he recently spoke iu French on that subject. In lB of 19 John Lord B al r d o i u n g g h , lEni married Mary Anne, widow sq., an d e ld est d aug h tee Deputy Auditor of Green e(nb Esci" (brother of the lat e L or d A uc kl an d Spalding, l a olif n ic d Tlll Henley), Eden, , d by Whom ho had an only daughter, who died young, Nov. 30, 1839. In 1860 he ob tained a free patent of peerage, with remainder to his brother, Mr. William Brougham, and his issue male. THE EXTRAORDINARY OUIRAGE IN THE CITY. At the Mansion-house, this morning the two boys, Arthur Forester Smith, 15, and Victor A. Smith, 12, were brought before the Lord Mayor, in charge of Sergeant Moss, the detective officer, for further examination upon the charge of feloniously wounding Mary Ann N unn, with intent to murder her. Alderman Sir R. Carden and Al derman Causton were on the be ich during the proceedings. It will be recollected that at the last examination it was proved that the prosecutrix was the ;house keeper of the premises No. 2, Catherine-court, Seething-lane. The prisoners were connected with the prosecutrix by marriage, and it appeared that they had secreted themselves in the cellar, no doubt for the purpose of commitiug a robbery in the house, and while they were actually engaged in breaking open a box in the room of the prosecutrix, and from which they took a sum of about £2, the prosecutrix came into the room. The two young ruffians immediately commenced a most brutal attack upon the unfortunate woman, and beat her upon the head with a wallet, inflicting such in juries thereby that for some days her life was despaired of. She is now, however, happily out of danger, and it is expeeted that she will recover. The prisoners when they were placed at the bar seemed to have lost a good deal of the hardihood which characterised them at the first examination. Inspector Tillcock banded in a certificate from Guy's Hospital, which was . to the effect that the prosecutrix was progressing favourably, but was not in a condition to attend the court at present to give her evidence. Ile asked for a remand for• a week. Tile prisoners, who said nothing, were accord ingly remanded for a week. MARKETS.—(This Day.) CORN. The general character of the wheat trade is dull, with prices favouring buyers, but without pressure to sell. Spring corn is relatively firm. . _ _ . - The country markets are in many cases is lower on the week for wheat. It Mark-lane to-day the attendance was moderate, and the trade dull, the flue weather hating some influence. _ _ English wheat was light supply, but saleable only at about is. lower. The offers for foreign wheat were at the same reduction, and where business was done it was at this decline, bdt transactions were small. Flour was in fair supply, and the turn lower for country markets. Malt a dull sale. Barley sold slowly, but was relatively well held. Beans rather easier. Peas in limited demand. Oats firm; with a fair inquiry, and quite late rates paid. Seeds dull. METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. The supply of fat stock was larger this morning than last week, but accounts from Newgate and Leadenhall showing the markets well cleared, the tone was not so dull as it might otherwise have been, and prices for choice qualities were in some cases firmer. The supply of beasts included 195 from Scotland, none 'from Ireland, 2,115 from various pastures of England, and 1,290 from the Continent. The beef trade was firm for choice English, but inferior and foreign was dull of sale and lower. Of sheep and lambs the supplies included 6,690 from abroad. . . . ~ •V The mutton trade was irregular, choice qualities of sheep firm ; inferior depressed. Lamb sold at previous quota tions. The number of foreign calves at market was 146. The general demand was flat and quotations depressed. Pork met a steady sale at the quotations. Ten pigs arrived from the Continent. Total at market : beasts, 3,600; sheep and lambs, 29,890 calves, 151 ; pigs, 290. Quotations (per stone of 81bs sinking the offal): Beef, 3s 4d to Se 2d ; mutton, 3e to 4s 8J ; veal, 3s 4d to 5s 4d ; pork, 3s to 4s 6,1; lamb, 6s to is 4d. PROVISIONS. Butter —The tendency of prices is still seasonably downwards, and the market this morning was dull. Best Friesland, 100 s. Bztccn sold iu retail quantity at about late rates. No quotable change in the cheese trade. WOOL. The colonial wool sales commence on Thursday next, and the market as usual for the moment kept somewhat in abeyance, but tho tone is on the whole firm. THE MUSICAL MA G.JGL VES. HANOVER SQUARE, this month, is a very attrac tive number. It opens with a very we ll- wr i tten piece by Sidney Smith, entitled " Evening Rest," which is followed by a very beautiful ballad by Blumenthal, called "Love, the Pilgrim." Ignace Gibson contributes another excellent composition, " Spring Breezes," and a melodious song by J. L. Hatton, "It is the golden spring time," completes the collection for May. The whole of the music is quite equal to any that has hitherto been published in this very favourite monthly, and is well calcu lated to sustain the reputation the magazine has secured under the excellent guidance of its accom plished editor, Mr. Lindsey Sloper. BOND STREET is as sparkling and joyous as ever. Mr. Charles Coote gives us another of his exhilara ting waltzes, entitled " The Azella." Mr. Charles Blamphin adds another beautiful melody entitled " Nellie," and Mr. Robert Coot() gives us a very characteristic set of quadrilles called " The Marionettes," which will most, certainly become a great favourite. M r. H. Clifton con t r ib u t es a new song, entitled, " Th e W ay to b e H ap py," w hi c h i s as good as any o f the many popu l ar me l o di es he has hitherto composed. The magazine is alto gether one of very great exce ll ence , an d o f suc h a varied kind that it cannot fa il to p l ease an d ca ll forth approbation from a very large class of patrons it has, by its entertaining power, permanently se cured. EXETER MU, Will, by its collection of sacred music, this month add to its already well-acquired by Randeggar " Th ere ' s Rcst i n H eaven ;" a piano forte piece, The music consists of a sacred song by Callcott ; a new hymn of praise, by Macfarren ; a sacred duet, " Rest Yonder," by Smart; and a very beautiful piece for the harmo nium. All is as good as can be, and the current number must tend to increase the estimation in which the magazine is now generally held. Messrs. Cocks, of N ew Burlington-street, have just issued a second edition of the Appendix to Hamilton's Modern Instructor for the pianoforte, by F. West, which contains some of the most cele brated yet - beatifully arranged that it P m ie u e s e t s'so become bub a l)l b Y ook of general use for all students of the instrument. It is worthy the most extensive patronage, which it is certain to command. Messrs. Davidson, of Regent-street, have just published six new songs, composed by Miss Amy Coyne. The airs are exceedingly melodious, and ballads we have seen for a very speak highly in favour of the talent of the young, a number composer. 'We can recommend them as the pret tiestof Great Marlborough-street, long collection tinln. of compriseslate l s e t ss i r s s site Me of new songs by Gounod, Arthur Sullivan, and Mr. G. B. Allen. The first composer gives a very sweet song entitled " The Fairy Voyage," and a sacred composition tzl ees, called 16 Earth is no Resting Place." Mr. Allen has chosen some words written by Longfellow, called " The Children's Hour," for a musical setting, and a very pretty ballad it is. "In the Summer long ago" Mr. A. Sullivan has given us a ballad that will certainly become a universal favourite. Messrs. Duff and,Stewart, of Oxford-street, have just published some compositions of Mr. W. V. Wallace, which, whilst being very attractive pieces, are by no means difficult of accomplishment by a moderately advanced musician. The " Danse Cos saque," "Air Russe," and " Caprice Heroique," are each and all worthy a place in the portfolio of every person of taste, as they cannot fail to elicit high commendation when performed with the at tention they deserve. THE GRESIIAM LECTURES.--Weare requested to state that the Gresham Lectures, at Gresham College, Basinghall-street, will in future be delivered in Latin at 6 and in English at 7 o'clock in the evening, instead of at 12 K 1 i the daFr as 1190t919r0. TALLOW. The market is steady at 43s 6d on the spot. Stock 22,472 casks, against 22,024 casks last year; deliveries, 774 casks, against 714 casks last year ; arrivals, 32 casks, against 658 casks last year. COTTON. LIVERPOOL, May 11.—Sales probably 7,000 bales. Mar ket flat, with downward tendency. THE WAR IN PARAGUAY. The news from the River Plate and the Brazil; by the Royal Mail steamer Seine, is highly inte resting, as it proves that the war in Paraguay is far from ended, notwithstanding Brazil tries every means to make her European creditors believe the contrary. The passage of Humaita by the Brazilian ironclad; told to the world as the greatest of naval victories, has been as yet of no service to the Allies, as their ships cannot move for want of coal and ammunition, and au old American blockade runner has been engaged to run the gauntlet of Humaita, and take coal at the rate of £5O per ton to the ironclads at Tayi. Marshal Lopez has concentrated his lines and taken every thing valuable froni Curupaity, destroying the places with fire, and leaving only the naked spot where once Curupaity stood to the Allies, who sing another victory, proclaiming the capture of Curu paity. Humaita was lea with a garrison of about 5,000 to 6,000 men, provisioned for a long siege, and able to hinder, if not stop, the navigation of the river. Marshal Lopez himself ani the balk of his army are fortified on the Tehicuari with all the heavy artillery taken from Carupaity. All this was done under the very eyes'of the Allies, who were unAble to cheek his movements. On the 2d of March the Allies made a reconnaissance, which has cost them many lives, and then only they learned that Lopez had changed his base of action. As the number as well as the resources of the Paraguayan army are entirely unknown to the Allies, it is very diffizult for them to calculate or plan an attack in a country of which they know nothing, but of which Lopez knows every inch, supported by a patriotic popula tion. The expenses of the war are daily getting heavier, and Brazil, notwithstanding every effort to meet her engagements, will not be able to do so much longer if this war should, as appears certain, last for some six or eight more months. The Argentine Confederation never presented a sadder aspect of anarchy than at this moment. The very moment the Government troops left Rosario (on the 21th of March) the revolution broke out again. At Cor rientes General Caseras, a Gaucho, had thrown some of the best citizens into prison, and others were forced into his private escort as common soldiers. These arbitrary measures were lone to secure the election of one or the other candidates for the Presidency. By the last account we see that General Urquiza has come out pub licly as a candidate for the Presidency, and as he is the richest and most influential person in the whole Confederation there is little doubt as to his success. The election of Urquiza is tantamount to immediate peace with Paraguay, and the dissolu tion of the alliance. Brazil, knowing this, makes every effort to have Dr. Elisalve, the Minister of Foreign Affairs of General Mitre, elected. Elisave is in the hands of Brazil, through interest and family connection. At Montevideo things have settled down in an uncomfortable quietude, and the outbreak of new disorders is hourly expected. The Government is accused of many acts of unjustifiable barbarities against the members of the opposite political party. At Rio the papers begin to ridicule already their allies, calling them " Suisse," and their generals and officers as so many hirelings ; and whatever was done in Paraguay was only achieved by the brave Brazilian army and navy, which, as every one knows, consists only of liberated slaves. Emigration makes very slow progress in Brazil, as the treatment the immigrants receives disheartens them. II [PLYMOUTH, May 10.—The Star of the East, Cap tain Smith, from the Cape of Good Hope, with general cargo, for London, landed here yesterday the Rev. T. Godfrey, wife and child. In the entrance to the Channel they passed the Oriental, from Bahia, dismasted. The Heather Bell, Capt. Owen, from Algoa Bay for London, was off Plymouth on Thursday, and the brig Trial, of Guernsey, from G‘irclig fig Stettin, paned up on rciday. IMPERIAL PAR LI A 1/IEN HOUSE OF LORDS-(THIS EVENING.) The LORD CIIINCELLOR took his seat on thej woolsack at five o'clock. SCOTCH BURGHS POLICE SYSTEM. The Earl of MINTO said that in moving that a select committee investigate into the working of the Szotch Burgh Police System he would not occupy their time very long. He should have to ask several ques tions first. What was the relation of the magistrates to the headsof the police, &re. ? and what was the position of those belonging to the system ? and he thought that an in vestigation into the subi.ct would greatly advantage the w,rking classes in the districts comprised iu the burghs. The nulls earl then quoted the opinion of several quali fied persons as to the working of the system, and com pared its working with that of Mauchesier, Live!? ul, &e. Lord CLINTON said it was not his iuteetion at that moment to say much about the matter, but he might state that they had no ohjection to the appointment of a committee, whatever complaints ha i been made, and it was advisable that a committee should be appointed to inquire into the whole opera Con of the system. The Ea,l of DALHOUSIE said that he approved of the committee, and considered that it was a subject which de serv,d the most anions consideration. The question was then put and carried. JUDGMENT DEBTORS BILL; THE BANKRUPTCY BILL, AND THE BANKRUPTCY ACT REPEAL 13. L L. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that with regard to these bills he had several petitions to present in their favour, but he was compelled to ask himself whether these bills would be considered by the other House of Commons, but having regard to the pre ,s of puhlie business, he would' not occupy their lordships' time by going into committee, but would ask them to discharge the order for committing the hills. This was complied with. RAILWAY REGULATIONS BILL. . . On this bill 'being counuitted, -- The Marquis of SALISBURY said that he had an objec tion to make to a clause, as from it two practical evils would result. If to a railway committee they attached a disgrace, no one would be a director or chairman, and again if sub mitting the case to a judge it might be c nducivo of injustice. No one had a greater respect for judges than ho had, but still any particular judge might have a crochet and think that ail railway directors and chairmen were rogues. (Laughter.) Now he would pro pose to substitute that it should be proved to the satisfac tion of the Court that a railway director was guilty before he was punished. The LORD CHANCELLOR proposed an alteration which was accepted. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—This EVENING. The SULKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. VICTORIA. Sir R. PALMER gave notice that lie should not pro ceed with the motion on the subject of the colony of Victoria, which stood on the paper in his name, until further intelligence had been received. UNSOUND MALT LIQUOR. Mr. BASS asked the Secretary of State for India whe ther his attention had been drawn to a practice, said to have been adopted in India, fur restoring unsound malt liquor supplied to the troops ; and whether he would lay upon the table of the house any correspondence on the subject _ Sir S. NORT ['COTE said his attention had been called to the matter last year, and a•loi ter had been sent to the Governor-General on the subject. That communication had been followed by a detailed statement from India of the treatment to which the liquor was subjected, which had been examined by competent examiners, and, it having been found inconsistent wish the health of the troops, orders had been at once transmitted to India fur its dis continuance. g f " 1 4 8 UEDITION. SUN OFFICE, 7 o'CLocK. CARDINAL CULLEN. Mr. D. GRIFFITH asked the First Lord of the Trea sury whether the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, on the occasion of the visit of the Prince of Wales, made inquiry of the Government by what style and title he was to invite and receive Cardinal Cullen ; whether he was in structed to address him in the invitation by the title of "His Eminence the Cardinal Archbishop of Dublin;" if not by what title ; and whether on that occasion prece dence was granted to Cardinal Cullen immediately after the Royal family, and before the archbishops of the Esta blished Church iu Ireland, the Lord ‘3ltancellor of Ireland, and the whole of the English and Irish nobility ? Mr. DISRAELI said no communication h'td taken place between the Government and the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland as to the visit of Cardinal Cullen to his Excel lency. The precedency given hitn was according to the established rules of etiquette. Mr. D. GRIFFITH said lie wished to know whether he was invited as "His Eminence the Cardinal Arch bishop of Dublin ?" (Hear, hear, and laughter.) The Earl of Mayo said his Excellency did not address him as the Cardinal Archbishop. THE SCOTCH REFORM B[LL. Mr. MONUIIIEFF asked when it was likely the Scotch Reform Bill would be proceeded with. The bill had been read a second time mole than two mouths ago, and he thought it was quite necessary to know when it was intended to proceed with the bill. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI s ti.l the lion. gentleman must allow him to be the best judge of the propriety of his own con duct, in endeavouring to bring about al; speedily as possible the dissolution of Parliament. (Hear, hear.) He dii not know that ha WAS chArgeabte with 11 , 38 - ieCt iu not pressing this bill forward. It was of the utmost importance that the Boundary Bill should be proceeded with on Thurs diy, and he had proposed to place the Scotch Reform Bill as the second order for that evening, but that coarse had not given satisfaction. It was his anxious desire that the bill should proceed its quickly as p , issible, and what he pro posed was to place it as the first order on the tirst upon day ater the Boundary Bill had been advanced another stage. HUDSON BAY. _ Sir C. LAN YON askedthe Under Secretary for the Colonies whether neg wiations were now in progress for the transfer of the Hudson Bay Company's territory ; and, if so, at what period the transfer was likely to bo made ? _ Mr. ADDERLEY said certain negociations were in pro gress relative to the transfer and government of the ter ritory, but they were not sufficiently alvanced to allow hint to state their nature at the present time. BEER FOR INDIA. Mr. GREENE asked the Secretary of State for India whether he considered that the habit of taking the lowest tender for the supply of the troopain India was calculated to gave the troops a sound, wholes in) beverage; and whether he had thought it desirable to ascertain if at the price accepted fur last season's supply it was possible to produce beer calculated to travel eight thousand miles by sea, and a thousand or two thousand miles by land, and be fit for the soldiers to drink ? Sir S. NOItT IiCOTE said the bser sent to India had to be brewed of a certain quality and strength. Before it left this country it Was uxamined, and during the last year and a half that the arrangemmt had been in operation ho had received no complaints as to the quality of the article. THE IRON CLAD NAVY. Oa the motion for the Speaker leav!ug the chair for the purpose of going into committee of supp!y on the navy eetituates, Capt. IdACKINNON drew the afteatiol of the house to certain deficiencies said t) exist in the iron-clad fleet. l'he hen. gentleman con , leamed the policy of the Admi ralty iu constructing ironclads, which, during the last few years, had ainouut,d to 10 millioas of money, while the worth that was got for all this great outlay was simply nothing, because the ships built were useless . , and ren dered Bug!and the laughing stock of the whole world. Mr. SAMUDA then referred to another branch of the navy estimates, viz., designs for ships of war furnished by the private shipbuilding firms on an invitation from the Admiralty, and to the step t tken by the A imiraity in respect of them. The private firms sent in their designs in answer to the request of the Admiralty, hat it was a positive fact that the private builders were invariably set aside, and the plans they had sent in were sot aside by an official design coaling from the officer of the chief constructor of the navy. The present system was most unsatisfactory, because it had the appearance at least of oil lad persons getting , the ad a plan and then producing something n s, wLicli always bo re a lOW t va c ata n n y o e f seeiag arkable resemblance to the plans supplied by private individuals. 114EPT SITTING.

It is fixed upon the Clerk's desk, and from it a wire leads to the desk of each member. When the "yeas" are to vote, the Clerks slip into the apparatus a piece of paper containing the names of the members in the proper order, and having the word " yea"printed at its head. Upon the calling of the vote each member actuates his wire, and a puncture is hereby made at the end of his name. The "nays" are recorded in the same manner. Any number of slips may be placed in the box, and all punctured at the same time. Each of these is a complete record of the vote. The ap paratus is all contained in a case about four foot long by one foot in width.

The York Meeting commences to-morrow, and the Zetland Stakes will be productive of some speculation if Sister to Hermit, Fitzwilliam (the colt by Blair Athol out of Jest), and De Vere are found among the starters. The last-named has a 71b. penalty, which will not stop him if he strips in his Epsom form, and after him I prefer Sister to Hermit. The Great Northern Handicap is gene rally affected by the Chester Cup running, and this time the race of Wednesday last has settled the pre tensions of more than one candidate for the Knaves mire honours. Paul Jones is not a likely startf,t. Fortunio, though reported to have been succeseitil in his trial, I will not have because his party are always making mistakes, and I cannot bolieve in Regalia or Chelsea. Public form !makes the latter vastly inferior t) Geanio des Batailles, who split Moslem and Blueskin at Croxtou Park, while Mr. Crawford's horse was a long way ahead of Chelsea for the Two Thousand Guineas. On the running with Blueskin. it must be a near thing between Blinkhoolie and. Lord Zet land's colt. Westwick has underwent a good pre- • paration ; and, to be brief, I must vote for West wick and Beauty, and if an outsider wins it will be Ploughboy. Sister to Hermit is the beat performer of those in the Knavesnaire Plate, and in the event of her being kept for her two-year-old engagement, there will be a chance for Sphynx and Charnwood, while Helen seems bound to win the Union -Hunt Plate, the only remaining event complete on the first day. On the second, Edinburgh is sure to run well for the Londes borough Cup; and for the Flying Dutchman's Han dicap Regalia will show much better than she will for the Great Northern Handicap, although I can not have her to beat Corporal and Python. The Tallyho Stakes looks like another good thing for Helen, and the running for this event and the Hunters' race, set for Tuesday, will no doubt throw some light un two similar events to be brought to decision at Doncaster on Thursday and Friday. The first has a large entry, including Eloise, Marks man, Verdi, the filly by Dundee out of Rambling K itie, Coeius, Esmeralda, Primrose, Castanet, Advertisement, and East Lynn ; and without know ing anything of the intentions of owners, I award the prize to the Rambling Katie filly or Comus ; and the other one above alluded to (the Great Yorkshire St. Leger) I give to Scarrington. The Hopeful Stakes and Betting-room Stakes will both be affected by what takes place at York ; and the Trial Stakes will hardly bring out Uncas, in aidition to whom three only are nominated. The Spring Handicap weights have been raised to Bst 121 b., and the one at the head of the list—Rococo—cannot beat Beauty, 3 yrs, Bst 31b., if the latter does not incur a penalty for winning at York. Russian Bear (who ought to have won at Ches ter) and Milton . are my choice of the lot weighted for the Londesborough Plate. At Winchester on Tuesday the Third Biennial for three-year-olds will he settle i, and the pick of the thirty-three left are Europa, Herald, Lord Palmer ston, Cock of the Walk, Bores; Witchcraft, Ly inington, The Demon, and Lictor, of whom Europa proved successful last year. She has been dead amiss (like the other " good things " disposed of at Ascot) ever since she left the possession of the Duke of Beaufort, and if she shows on this occasion will probably succumb to Witchcraft and Lymington, both of whom recently distinguished themselves at Newmarket. Of those handicapped for the Win chester N ursery, I fancy Leoucillo and Brother to Union Jack ; and Flower Girl must be my 'choice of the public lot in the Fourth Biennial. The Hampshire Stakes has Paul Jones at the head of affairs, and he will not run. Douro is very mode rate, and his stable companion, Prince Regent, will probably be reserved for Salisbury. The pair I fancy most are Voltigern and Demon, and I must decline to meddle with the other handicaps put forth, while the Grange Park and Winchester Foal Stakes are best left to those who see the first day's running. The Derby Trial Stakes is a weight for age race, over a mile and a half, among the eight nominated being Knight of the Garter, Lozenge, Mariner, Lymiug ton, Lictor, and Philosopher. If he starts the Knight will win, despite his defeat by Lozenge at Newmarket, and in the absence of Capt. Machell's horse, it will be as well to stand Philosopher. The Salisbury events will follow those at lincheater, and the principal two-year-old races—the Salis bury Stakes and the IVilton Park Stakes—both read at the mercy of Brigantine. Of the handicaps, only the Wiltshire Stakes merits attention at pre sent, and for this I take the best of the Fyfield lot —Whalebone or the Young Melbourne Mare -as the most likely to supply the winner.
