Sawyer, brewer, of Totness, was charged before Mr. Knox with assaulting Henry Austin, hackney-carriage attendant, No. 207. Mr. Breton (gessrs. I.ewisand Co., Marlborough street) appeared for the defence. Austin said that in consequence of a cabman on the stand in the Ilaymarket complaining that the prisoner was misconducting himself, he spoke to prisoner, who immediately knocked him down, and on his getting up again knocked him down a se cond time. Police-constable Robert Carr, 30 C, proved see ing the prisoner knock the complainant down. Mr. Breton could not deny the assault, but said the prisoner was not aware the complainant was an officer, and took him for one of the perslns loitering about the Haymarket for an improper purpose. The witnesses called for the defence, Mr. John Lane, pastry-cook of Peckham, and Mr. Gollard, an officer of the Court of Exchequer, di I not alter the complexion of the case, the only difference be- . tweet' their evidence and that of the complainant buing that they stated that tho pri3oner NYTIS saber, while the complainant said he had been drinking. Mr. Knox fined the prisoner .£5 or a mouth. The fine was at once paid. THAMES. BREAKING THE PLEDGE.—AN IRISH Row. Michael Burke, an Irish labourer, was brought be fore Mr. Benson, charged with violently assaulting henry and Robert Redmond, brothers. Both complainants had been under medical treat ment, at the London Hospital. Their heads had been bandaged. As well as our reporter could make out, amidst the barking, howling, and whining of the stray dogs in the station-house yard adjoining the court, the affray commenced in Mill-yard, Whitechapel, last night, and arose out of a breaking of a teetotal pledge in the house in which the com plainant lived. An old Irishman had kept the tee total pledge twelve months, and yesterday he re ceived his pension, and got " blind drunk." He taxed the complainant 11 , 3nley with being no longer a special constable, his time having expired, and that he had no power now at all. At the same time he received a blow, and his brother received one at the same time. Henry Redmond did not know who hit him. He went to the hos pital, and his head was dressed. When he returned he gave an old man, the landlord, into custody, as the aggressor, and the prisoner said it was a shame, and that he committed the assault. The prisoner said the complainant threw down an old man, and he hit him. Robert Redmond, whose head was tandaged and bleeding, said he was struck on the head, and he wished to withdraw the charge. Au old white-haired Irishman, named Michael Dunnany, who begged of the magistrate to spell his name with three n's, was here introduced. lle was without a coat ; his right arm was bandaged ; the bandage was crimson with gore ; he was in a wild state of disorder, and said he was a proper Irishman, who had seen the world, and his wife was a proper Englishwoman. Mrs. I)unnany was examined, and said her old man was illused by the Redmonds. Mr. Benson blamed the old man Dannany for coming into court drunk, and said there were faults on both sides. lie discharged the prisoner. WESTMINSTER. WOMAN'S FORGIVENESS.— William Gibson, de scribed as a gentleman, was charged with the fol lowing disgraceful conduct to his wife : It appeared from the statement of Mr. W. D. Forsyth, solicitor, and the wife's account, that de fendant had been married to her for six years, and was an habitual drunkard, who, when he broke out ill-treated his wife. He was brought here some time ago, but his wife did not press the charge on promise of amendment. Instead of improving he became worse, and a repetition of his conduct induced the present complaint. On Wednesday morning he got out of bed at six o'clock, and be cause he could not find some papers he wanted, swore he would strangle his wife, and seized her by the throat. He then got a knife and swore he would cut her throat. She wrapped the bed-clothes round her throat, and he sawed at them with a knife and cut them. llis wife, however, did not wish to hurt him. She is in the possession of an annuity, which she was willing to give him half of if he would keep away from her, as she was afraid of him, and she would be content with his own re cognizances to keep the peace. Defendant said he was extremely sorry. He had been intoxicated the night before, and thought she had put the papers out of the way on purpose to annoy him. He admitted he had been rough with her, but had no intention to injure her. Mr. Selfe said he ought to be ashamed of himself. His wife was undeniably a kind woman. Defen dant must enter into recoguisances of £ho for six months.

The performances at this theatre last evening were for the benefit of Mr. Buckstone, the veteran comedian and the lessee ; and if any proof were wanting of this gentleman's popularity in his joint character of actor and proprietor of the establish ment, it would be found in the fact that, notwith standing that the heat was at least 90 in the shade, the house was crowded in every part by an enthusiastic audience. The amusing farce of "A Co-operative Movement" was the opening piece,, which was well acted by Messrs. Kendal, Compton, and LNlrs. Chippendale and Miss Dalton. This was followed by the pro duction of Colley Cibber's comedy of " She Would and She Would Not," which was first brought out about one hundred and sixty years ago, at, we believe, Drury-lane Theatre. Although a good acting pl Ly, it is not often presented to the public, and it has not been acted at this theatre sinc2 1833. The character of Ilypolita, hich is the prominent part in the comedy, was felicitously sustained 1 tst evening by Miss Robertson, who, in her masculine assumption, deported herself with such gallant bearing that it was not surprising she shoul l de ocive Don Manuel, who believed he had found in the disguised female one who would make him a son-in-law who would be worthy of his d Lug,hter and of the fortune which he would give her. Mr. Howe's Don Philip and Mr. Kendal's Don Octavio were good representatives of the characters; and Mr. Buckstone as Trap panti was quaint and amusing. The characters of Flora, RoLiard, and Viletta were also effectively represented by Miss lone Burke, *Miss Dalton, and Mrs. E. Fitzwilliam ; and Mr. Chippendale never appeared to greater advantage than he did in Don Manuel, which he played with artistic excellence. Upon the whole we are disposed to think that the revival of the comedy under consideration is likely to lead to its more frequent production than here tofore. A little farce, entitled " Pay to the Bearer—a Kiss," from the pen of Mr. Walter Gordon, and which was played for the first time last evening, afforded Air. Frederick Buckstone, the son of the lessee, an opportunity of making his first appearance before a London audience in the character of Titmouse, a sort of gawkish countryman. There is nothing very remarkable in the piece, and the title of it turns upon the promise made by Wildash (Mr. Kendal) to "Titmouse," whose wife he had kissed on the first day of her marriage, that he should have a similar compliment conferred upon him (" Tit mouse ") by " Wildash's " wife on the first day of their marriage ; a note to that effect is given by " Wildash " to " Titmouse," in which is written " Pay to the Bearer—a Kiss." Some fun is created in consequence, and especially so when " Titmouse" has to salute " Lady Primmer," an elderly person, instead of " Wildash's " spouse. Mr. Buckstone, jun., made a somewhat good impression in the cha• ratter of " Titmouse," and there is no doubt bu that when he gets more used to the stage he will not, as an actor, be unworthy of the name he bears, At the termination of the farce, ➢Zr. Buckstone, the lessee of the theatre, presented himself to the audience and spoke the following address, which caused much laughter, and was also much ap plauded : Ladies and Gentlemen,—On the breaking up for the holidays at public schools there is always a boys appointed to deliver r ie w h ar t d he with considerable anxiety, a sp n e o ec r h at d io a n y' lo t o o k w fo h and with many hopes and fears. I confess that the same feelings possess me when my speech day arrives, and we break up for the vacation. Then I am not only anxious to get pleasantly through my task, but to give a good account of the past, and inform you what we intend to do in the future ; but before I proceed to that part of my address, you will, I am sure, pardon the few remarks I may have to make respecting this theatre and its performers. ram now, ladies and gentlemen, in the sixteenth year of my management. When I commenced on the Easter Monday of 1853, the company, as re- Bards the gentlemen, is almost the same now as it was at that time. I then ;had Mr. Chippendale, Mr. Compton, Mr. Howe, Mr. Clark, Mr. Rogers, Mr. Braid, and many others who are still here, while, as you perceive, Mr. Bucktone also remairm cannot say as much for the ladies of 1853, because 16 years in the life of a female mikes a little differ ence, and will bring about remarkable changes— one of which is nutrimony, and where this has hap pened, and the ladies have departed with their lords, of course I have been obliged to fill up the vacancies ; but as these conjugal proclivities are still going on, if I do not keep a sharp watch, I may find myself at last without a real Miss in the company. However, I contrive to supply deserted places as well as I can, and I hope to your satisfac tion. With this evening, ladies and gentlemen, I terminate a season of 554 nights, and when you consider the great competition everywhere, the nu merous places of amusement always open, to say nothing of the many tropical weeks we have lately experienced, you will allow that such a long season brought successfully to a close is no small achieve ment. It is not possible, ladies and gen tlemen, that I can continue many more seasons before you, but as I have not yet found any decay in any of my fac u lti es, an d am still in good health and strength, it may b e that my ti m e for bidding you a final adieu w ill not b e very soon . In fact, I have only just b egun to think o f it, and that chiefly through findin g myse lf so metimes called " a veteran," which designation I have earned by hav ing been m ore t h an forty years b e f or e the public.— a few at the transpontine theatres and Drury Lane, about ten at the Adelphi in the days of Frederick Yates and John Reeves, and the remaining thirty here at the Haymarket; still I hope to have suffi cient stamina remaining to do what has to be done here, and which I assure you is not a little, as dur ing the vacation the house will undergo a thorough repair and renovation. A new proscenium has been designed and painted by Mr. Barnes, a new act drop will be supplied by Mr. Telbin, whilst the de corations will be carried out by the talented artists of this establishment. On Monday, Oct. 19, the house will re-open with Miss Bateman in her world renowned character of Leal], and during her en gagement that lady will produce a new play, writ ten expressly for her by Dr. Mosenthal, the author of " Leah," who I am proud to announce has intimated his determination to be present at the first representation. Mr. Buckstone will from time to time appear in new or revived comedies and farces, while his son will occasion,ally drop in, and from what you have seen to-night, I hope will soon be able to wear some of his father's old shoes. At Christmas Mr. Sothern will return, repeating the successful play of "A Hero of Romance," but only until a new production by Dr. Westland Marston can be ready for representation. lam also happy to tell you that Mr. Robertson, the author of "David Garrick" at this house, and of many talented comedies at other theatres, is engaged upon one for performance here. I am now about to take the entire Haymarket company on a tour to Liverpool, Manchester, New castle-upon-Tyne, Edinburgh, Glasgow, and Brad ford, and although we shall not have so many difficulties to encounter as the gallant Sir Robert Napier had in Abyssinia, yet we hope to overcome whatever obstacles we may meet with in the same i-pirit of British pluck. As a certain great house that governs the land, as well as this less important one, will soon break up for the recess, let us hope that the country with its new Parliament will continue to prosper, that the Haymarket Theatre with its new plays may also continue to prosper; and with these hearty wishes, ladies and gentlemen, I thank you, for myself and in the name of every member of my company, for your long-continued kindness and patronage, and until October next respectfully bid you farewell. At the close of the address several bouquets were thrown upon the stage, which Mr. Buckstone picked up, and bowed his acknowledgments. The amusing farce of "Friend Waggles" brought the performances to a close. We are requested by General Prim to state that he has for the last seven months permanently resided in London, that he has never stirred from his home here, and that the reports about his being at Vichy, about his let ters being intercepted by the French Government, &c., lately circulating in some newspapers, are pure fabrics- MPERIAL PARLIANENT HOUSE OF LORDS—LAST EVENING. The LORD 011A.NCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at four o'clock. The royal assent was given by commission to the Re formatory Schools (Ireland) Bill, the Muswell Leasehold Conversion (Ireland) Act Extension Bill, the Registration Bill, the Bank of Bombay Bill, the Consular Marriage Bill, the Curragh of Kildare Bill, and several private bills. The Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, and the Earls of Malmesbury and Devon. RAILWAY FARES. Lord REDESDALE moved that the standing orders No. 179 be amended by inserting, after section 3, that no bill should be introduced which proposed to increase the rates Flyable for conveying goods and passengers, should not be road a second time until a report from the Board of Trade on tho subject, made after the bill had been read a first time in the house, should be laid upoa the table. The motion was agreed to. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSIONERS BILL. Lo d RAVENSWORTII, in moving that this bill be committed, remarked that its essautial quality was to meet a want which hal been long fe;t. The b:11 was then committed and passe 1. The Entail Amendments (Scutland) Bill was brou4ht tp and received. _ _ _ The Land Writs 11,.gistration (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. Tho Contagious Disease.s Bill Amendment Act of 1866 was read a second time. The Metropolitan Police Funds Bill was read a third ime and passed. The Fair Metropolis Bill was read a third time and passed. - The report of amendments on the West India Bill was received. The Poor Law and Medical Inspectors (Ireland) Bill was committed and passed. The Clerk of the Peace (Ireland) Bill was committed and passed. The Petit Juries (Ireland) Bill was committed and passed. The Lunatic Asylum Bill and the Assignees of Marino Policies Bill were considered and passed. The University Election (Voting Papers) Bill was read a third time and passed. The Turnpike Trusts Arrangements Bill was read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the Chair at 12 o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. ASSHETON took the oath and his scat for Olitheroe. SOUTH EASTERN, LONDON AND BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAYS. On the order of the day for considering the Lords amendment to this bill, Mr. WATSIN moved to disagree with so much of the amendment as related to the omission of clause 88, issuing of preference and deferred ordinary stock by the South Eastern Company. The amendment was carried by a very small majority, and over 5,000 persons being affected by it he hoped some opportunity would be:given for its consi deration. The motion was agreed to and, a committee appointed to draw up the reasons for disagreeing. BREECH-LOADING CANNON. Mr. S HER' DAN called the attention of the house to the petition of Mr. Goddard, who had succeeded in construct ing a cannon on the above principle, which had been suc cessfully tried at Shoeburyness. He had overcome the great difficulty, viz., that of properly closing the breech and preventing the escape of gas on discharge. That dis covery had been a lopted by the Government, but the inventor had never received the slightest compensa tion, although he had made application for it. He should be quite content if the right hon. Bart. (Sir John Pakington) would read the petition, in order to see what could be done under the circumstances. THE ROYAL GUN FACTORY. Major ANSON moved that a committee of live members be appointed by the committee of selection to inquire into the following allegations :—T hat in 1861 the royal gun factories, on being applied to by the Ordnance select com mittee for estimates for cheaper 9-inch guns than those that werebeingmadeat that time, seat in erroneous comparative estimates, on the strength of which the Ordnance Select Committee decided in favour of the gun proposed by the Royal Gun Factories ; that a simple 9-inch gun was then made by the Royal Gun Factories, the details of the cost of which, on being compared with the details of the cost of similar guns manufactured two years afterwards, show great and apparently inexplicable discrepancies ; and that like errors have been made by the Royal Gun Factories with regard to the comparative cost of new wrought-iron and converted guns, thereby entailing a heavy and unneces sary expense upon the country. Captain ViVIAN moved to aid to Major Anson's. mo tion—" That Sir John Pakington and M. tjor Ansoa be added to the committee, for.the purpose wit nesses and taking part in the pro , eedind.s, but without the power of voting." Sir J. PAKINGTON said ho had no objection to the nomination of the committee, but he must &Ain° to serve on it on the ground of his public. duties, and also ho thought, if the house decided to have the investigation, it was but fair that Colonel Campbell, the head of the gun factory, whose conduct was in soma degree impugned, should be added to the co:nmittee as assessor, as Ito was not a member of the house. Lord HOTHAM thought it objectionable to appoint persons on a committea and relieving them of the respon sibility of taking part in its decision. He did not think the committee ought to be appointad by the committee of se lection, but that, as the matter was a public one, he thought a committee of seven members, including the Sec retary of War and Major Anson, ought to be appointed by the house, and that the sittings of the committee should be continuous. The suggestion of the noble lord was agreed to. SOLDIERS' DAUGHTERS. Col. NORTH moved an humble address to her Majesty, that she would be graciously pleased to direct that an institution should be established to receive and educate the orphan dingleers of non-commissioned °Mears and soldiers of the army. The honourable and gallant gentle man said an institution supported by the Government for the support of soldiers' daughters was urgently required. The institution referred to in the motiun had done incal culable good, and there were now 176 inmates therein. It was not because that former efforts to provide for the daughters of soldiers failed that further efforts should not ba made. He hoped that the Government would bo dis posed to contribute to the funds of the Soldiers' Daughters Home until an institution could be founded. Sir J. PAKINGTON said that there was an institution now in existence at Wandsworth, established under the Patriotic Fund, in which 300 daughters of soldiers and sailors were carefully attended to. He thought it better to give further trial to the institutions at present in exist ence before any final decision was come to with respect to the formation of an institution such as that suggested by the hon. and gallant gentleman. The motion was withdrawn. THE COMPTROLLER OF THE WAR DEPART- 31. EN T. Colonel JEItVIS moved an Address for copy of the draft regulations for the Control Department originally sent in by the War-office to the Treasury, together with any memoranda thereupon by the Assistant Under- Secretary of State for War, together with re ply thereto by the Controller-in-Chief. The honour able and gallant gentleman defended the observations ho had made relative to the setting aside of Sir H. Storks, who was at first to be the Controller-in-Chief at the War-office. The whole of the object of Lord Strath nairn's committee had been set aside, and he wished the country to know by whom that had been done. It was generally supposed that Parliament through the Secretary of State governed the country, but that it appeared was altogether a mistake, and it was but right to know who pulled the strings at the War Office. He denied that the language he used the cther evening was either wild or unjustifiable, although ho admitted ho had not the art the right hon. baronet possessed in such an eminent degree of wrapping up his fulminating powder in silver paper. (Hear, hear.) The report of Lord Strath nairn's committee with respect to the appointment of the Controller of the War Department had been set aside, and he was determined to use his utmost to obtain infor mation as to who had set aside the decision so arrived at. Lord ELCHO also condemned the system pursued with respect to the setting aside of the appointment of Sir Henry Storks. He thought it was quite time Parliament at least should know by whom the military department of the country was governed, since it appeared that the Secretary of State was all but a mere non-entity. H e h a d had the pleasure of a conversation with Lord Strathnairn, and as the matter was to be brought forward that evening in another place he should be very much surprised in deed if Lord Strathnairn supported the argument that was now proposed. He (Lord Echo) thought Sir H. Storks and General Balfour had been most unjustly treated, a he hoped that something would transpire to prevent system to which they were opposed being forced up them. Sir J. PAKINGTON denied that he had anything 1 the highest resp3ct for Sir H. Storks, and when the h. and gallant member for Harwich mid the Governrne having used Sir H. Storks, were anxious to get rid him— Capt. JERVIS said the words he used were —" it WO appear so from the papers." Sir J. PAKINGTON accepted that, and he was not I pared to withdraw one word of his former speech, w he characterised the observations of the hon. and gall gentleman as "wild, unfounded, and unjustifiable." denied that he was anxious to get rid of Sir H. Stoi it was an imputation that he retorted in the strong language, and he should ba quits unworthy to fill o 1 ca he hold did h 3 not do so. It Was to be :egret that hQri• . patilmaN rePe4t94 snip that lfal g 414 different places in that house, as it showed a total ignorance of the interior arrangements of the War-office. He dmiied that there was any rival authority in that de partment ; but with respect to the production of the papers moved for, he must object to their production as detri mental to the public service. Mr. DISRAELI also said it would be much to be re gretted if the house insisted for the papers after the decla ration of his right Lou friend. A division was called for, but, on the Speaker finally putting the question, the member for Harwich did not persevere, and the motionlwas negatived without a divi sion.

Then, again, there was the Corrupt Practices Bill, that alse was a necessary measure to pas:. Under these circumstances ho should like to knew Vat) int3utioa of the Government. Mr. DISRAELI said Parliament wou!,l most certainly not 133 prorogued until the Corrupt Practices Bill had been passed. (Elear, hear.)

Mr. M. GIBSON wished to know at what time th 3 de bate on the Foreign Cattle Market Bill was to cease that evening, in order that the Irish Registration Bill might 133 considered. Mr. DISRAELI could give no idea when the debate on a measure which was not in committee would terminate. THE BRISTOL ELECTION. Mr. Sergeant GASELEE asked if it was the intention of the Attorney-General to institute criminal proceedings against those parties found guilty of bribery and persona tion at the last Bristol election. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said ho was unable to givo any definite answer to the question. SUPPLY-ARMY ESTIMATES. The house then went into committee of supply. General DUNNE called the attention of the hous3 to the report of the committee on the Military Reserve Funds. He should like to know what steps le Government pro posed to tlke with respect to facilitating promotion and retirement in the army. He contended that the Reserve Fund had been improperly used for purposes of retire ment. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the subject was a very im portant one, and on considering the report of the commit tee he proposed to go on until the voting of the estimates. Next session, it was to be hoped, the Government would bo in a position to submit a measure to the house on the subject. He had hoped to have been able during the present session to have adopted some plan, but that had been found to be impossible. He wished it to be clearly understood that no premature action should be taken during the recess. . Captain JERVIS thought after what had been said by the Commander-in-Chief about the present unsatisfaetory system of promotion some alteration would be speedily proposed. Under the present regulations it would take a subaltern 69i years to arrive at his promotion to the rank of General. The vote of £389,000, in addition to £Bl,OOO already voted for half-pay and retiring allowances, was then agreed to. — This being the last vote of supply the house resumed. CORRUPT PRACTICES AT ELECTIONS BILL. The order of the day for going into committee on this bill was postponed until to-morrow at two o'clock. IRISH REGISTRATION BILL. Mr. DISRAELI said, in order to suit the convenience of hon. members, he was quite willing to place the Irish Registration Bill first on Monday without a morning sitting. Mr. CHILDERS said the right hon. gentleman had, at a time when there was a much fuller attendance, given an assurance that, in the event of other business admitting, ho would go on with the bill on thlt evening. Mr.:DISRAELI said he merely made the suggestion, as he was informed that other arrangements were incon venient. The sitting of the house was then suspended. The house resumed at six o'clock. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER brought up the report of the select committee on the Electric Tele graphs Bill. It stated that the preamble had been proved, and amendments introduced in the bill, which he should bring under the attention of the committee of the whole house on Monday next. In answer to Mr. W. E. FORSTER, Lord STANLEY said that a despatch had been re ceived from the Government of the United States on the subject of na►uralisation, and an answor had been for warded by him on the same subject to the Government of America. Thera was no objection to the production of _.the papers. T.tia.Government wore pressed to accept in principle the view of the United States on the naturalisa tion question. No misunderstanding could arise. They had declined to enter into the treaty for two reasons— first, because there wore details to be arranged which were under the consideration of the commission appointed for the express purpose ; and secondly, because the treaty would be useless until ratified by an act of Parliament, which it would not be this session. In reply to Mr. NORWOOD, Lord R. MONTAGU stated that restrictions on the im portation of cattle from ports in theßaltic could not at pre sent be removed, even although there was no cattle plague in the countries from which they came, inasmuch as the ships in which the cattle were brought to this country traded to and carried cattle for ports where the cattle plague existed. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER remarked, in response to a query by Mr. J. B. Smith, that the evidence taken before the committee which had considered the Metropolitan Foreign Cattle Market Bill, did not show that the contracts for meat for the army and navy would be increased if the bill passed. The already lengthened discussion on the motion for going into committee on the Metropolitan Foreign Cattle Market Bill was resumed by Mr. MOFFATT, who strongly opposed it on the ground that it contained the very genius of old protection princi ples. It would practically exclude foreign cattle from the metropolitan markets, and thus tend to the maintenance of exorbitant prices. In the discussion which ensued Mr. Paget was anxious to see something done in the matter, but advised the exer cise of great circumspection. Then Mr. Hadfield com mented on the absence of the principal members of the Ministry during the previous and prolonged debates on the bill ; and regarding it as ridiculous to attempt to pass the bill into law during the present session, moved the ad journment of the debate. Lord R. MONTAGU, desirous as he was to supply cheap food to the people, and protesting against this mode of treating the question, denounced the opposition of Mr. Gibson and his friends as an endeavour, by dodges and de lays, to overthrow a measure which had the approval of the country. After some further desultory remarks, Mr. DISRAELI expressed his regret at so unusual a motion (at this period of the session) as that of adjourn ment. For his own part he wished a decision from the house on the merits and not on a detail of the bill. The motion was then withdrawn. The discussion on the proposition for gain into com mittee on the bill was then again cantiuued by Mr. Fresh field, Mr. J. B. Smith, Mr. Jacob Bright, Mr. Gilpin, Mr. Fordyce, Mr. Clay, Mr. Bruce (who described it as "an imperfect, unnecessary, and', partial measure"), and Mr Ayrton Mr. DISRAELI recalled the attention of the house to the fact that the only thing it had to consider was whether such markets as those proposed to be made were neces sary. The question as to how they were to be provided for was an after consideration. No one could doubt that in such a country as this abundant means would be found to cover the expenses. It was absurd to compare the manner in which cattle were imported into France with the way of their introduction into England. In the former beasts were numbered by hundreds and in the latter by hundreds of thousands, if not more. Ile utterly ridiculed the idea that the scheme proposed had any tendency to revive protection.
