HOUSE OF LORDS--(THIS EVENING.) The Royal assent was given by commission to the fol lowing bills :—The Exchequer Bills; The Crystal Palace Company ; the Lowestoft Water, Gas, and Market ; the Dublin and Belfast Railway Company; and the Great Yarmouth Waterworks. The Lords Commissioners were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Canning, and Lord Stanley of Alderley. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool seek at five o'clock. _ _ Me Earl of CARLISLE presented a petition from medical practitioners in favour of legislation with regard to the medical profession. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from Northumberland in favour of extending the jurisdiction of County Courts ; also a petition from Barnstaple to the same effect ; also a similar petition from Yorkshire ; also a petition from Scotland praying for the amend ment of the Sheriff's Courts. . . _ Lord CLAN RICAR DE presented a petition from Galway Union agair_st the extension of the income tax to Ireland. He would take that opportunity of asking whether it was intended that clergymen of all per suasions in Ireland should be treated different to any ether class of the community with regard to levying the income tax in that country ? The Earl of ABERDEEN hoped the noble lord would not think him guilty of any discourtesy if he ab stained from answering the question. As the matter would be fully explained when tvhe bill was introduced into the other house, any premature discussion at pre sent on the subject would be attended with great incon venience. Lord CANIPELL said that having had the misfortune of being an Irish landlord against his will, he felt an in terest in this subject, and he must say that though he thought it highly jest and equitable that the income tax should be extended to Ireland, it should only be con fined to the rent actually received. (Hear, hear.) If it only went to that er.:ent it would not touch him. (Laughter.) BREACH OF PRIVILEGE The Earl of DERB ir wished to call the attention of their lordships to what he might be justified in con sidering a breach of the privileges of their lord ships' house—not so much on his own account, as for the purpose of dcing, justice to another gentle man, with regard to whom the most unfounded misre presentations had been made in one of this evening's papers. Their lordships as 'ere aware that he had attended that day a committee of the House of Commons for the purpose of being exan lined with regard to certain proceedings before that committee ; and a ques tion was there put to him to which he gave a very distinct and decided answer, which he found was reported with perfect correctness and almost verbatim in The San of this evening, but was re ported in the Globe not only with great inaccuracy, but in a way to convey an entirely opposite meaning, and conveying an impression most unfavourable to the gen- Veman to whom he had referred. If this question had merAy touched himself' alone, he should not have thought it consistent with his duty to call their lordships' attention to it ; but when he was represented to have given a most unfavourable opinion with regard to the conduct and personal honour of a gentleman whose conduct was under examination, and with regard to whom he expressed a precisely opposite opinion, lie thought it was due to Unit gentleman to bring this mat ter betre their lordships' notice in the most public and authentic manner, and tc' compare that which he did not state with that which he had stated. The question was put to him whether he %was aware of a statement which had been made before 014 committee, that Mr. Stafford had said that he (Lord Derby) had put great pressure upon him with regard to 'the' disposal of the patronage .of the Admiralty in dock ards. His reply was, that he should be very much surprised to hear that Mr. Stafford had made that statement, ben use heta,d the highest opinion of his honour and veracity, and he felt convinced that Mr. Stafford had not made: such statement as he musthave known that it was utterly inconsistent with the fact, and had not the slightest folio ,dation. In making that state ment he had expressed wl mat he felt—that he had perfect confidence in Mr. Staffon l's veracity, and he should hear with great surprise tl tat Mr. Stafford had ever made such a statement. He could not bring him self to believe that that statement had ever been made by Mr. Stafford. 'That was given in The Sun of this evening with perfect accuracy, and he would now read the answer as appeared in the Globe; and he would only tray, that as he was but asked four or five quesd ions in the committee, and as the answers were clear mnd distinct, and as there was perfect silence in the corm uittee, and as the answers were taken down in short-hand, he thought a journalist who, under those circumstances , inserted false statements was perfectly inexcusable. (]dear, hear.) In the Globe lie was represented as having said, " I have heard with regret some statemi nits made by Mr. Stafford, because I had a very high opinion of Mr. Stafford and his honour, and Mr. Stall :Ord must have known at the tins he made those stater cents, that they were entirely inconsistent with the pran tics of the Admiralty and the rules of the service." Thus: it was represented he had heard Mr. Stafford's statement - with regret, because he (Mr. Stafford) must have knot an they were contrary to the fact, and because previous ly he had a very high opinion of Mr. Stafford's personal honour. He was quite sure their lordship's would cons ider ha would have abandoned his duty if he had not ea lied their attention to this re port, for the purpose of g iving to it the most immediate and emphatic contradictio. n. (Loud cheers.) COMMON LODGING-HOUSES BILL. After some conversatio n this bill was read a second time. The Berl of ALBEMA.BLE presented a petition from the citizens of Manchester, praying that the future Government of India in th is country should consist of a minister and a council appointed by the Crown, and direstly responsible to Parliament. (LBr .8 PEAKING.) i/01:743 OF COMMO NS—(THIS EVENING.) The-EPAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATII BUSINESS.

Booker's Disabilities llenicoval Bill was read a second time. ROYAL ASS ENT his. Pulman, the Yeoman U sher ETo.f the Black Rod, appeared at the table of the h to desi re th e attend ance of this house to hear theeßMl Lords' assent given to cer tainispor bills, for a list of which see ALe STAINES, WOKINGA RAILWAY BILL. WOKING On the return of the Speaker, the third reading of this bill having been moved, Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR moved that this bil l rec ommitted, on the ground that the committee b efore be for whom it had•been discussed had not allowed the S ou th: Eastern Railway Company, as landowners, to be heard by counsel against the preamble of the bill. He con tended that the South-Eastern Company had a locus standi, B,lld the committee had decided wrongfully. Mr. CHRISTOPHER defended the course taken by the committee. lie objected to recommitting the bill, because everything that could be said by the South- Easteiie Company had been already said, and that at very great length. After a few words from Mr. EVELYN, the motion Was withdrawn, and the bill was read a third time. Fisher's Divorce Bill was read a first time. PETITIONS. Mr. CAYLEY presented a petition from Harrow gate, in the West Riding, prayinr , the house to interfere in the case of Edward dnrray . Mr. TURNER presented a petition from the ipagi• strates of Liverpool in favour of an amendment of the law relative to juvenile and destitute criminals. Lord GODERICH presented a petition from Bradford, against the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. Mr. L. KING presented a petition from Boston, in favour of the Ballot. Mr. W. PATTEN presented a petition from Preston, praying for the abolition of the advertisement duty. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented petitions in favour of the opening of the Crystal Palace on Sundays. A number of petitions were presented in favour of the Parliamentary enfranchisement of the London Uni versity. Mr. COBBETT presented a petition from the Old ham Literary Institute, praying for Parliamentary papers. Sir J. SHELLEY presented a petition from certain jurors of the metropolis, praying for the appointment of a public prosecutor. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE FOR THE HOLIDAYS—COURSE OF PUBLIC BUSINESS. Lord PALMERSTON moved that the house at its rising adjourn until Thursday next. Mr. DISRAELI inquired what would be the course of public business on Thursday and Friday next. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that would depend upon the progress made to night with the legacy duty. It was, however, the wish of the Government to press on the financial business as speedily as possible and no measure would be brought forward which could interfere with it. The income tax resolutions he hoped to be able to report this evening, and afterwards to bring in the bill, so that it might be printed and in the hands of members to-morrow. Before the second read ing of this bill it would be desirable to dispose of the resolu tions with respect to the Legacy Duty and the S p irit Du -1 r des Bills but it was of the utmost public importance that the Income Tax Bill should be got through committe with out delay, and he should therefore propose to take the second roAding of that bill and the Spirit Duties' Bill on Thursday n.ext. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI thought it would be impossible to take both bills on the same night ; but there was another matter of importance which the noble lord the member fox the city of London had promised should be an nounced before the recess, namely the day on which it was proposed to state the views of the Government with regard to the future administration of the affairs of India. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said then he would take the Spirits Duties Bill next Thurs day, and the Income Tax Bill on the following night, but only on the (understanding that the bill should be committed on the following Monday. Mr. DISRAELI saw no objection to taking the In come Tax Bill on Friday, but it would be much better to postpone it, that was the second reading, until Mon day week. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not accede to this proposal. Mr. MILNER GIBSON said his County Rates Bill stood on the paper for Thursday next, but ender the rule which had been recently passed, Government claimed the right of giving their orders the precedence. Now, this was contrary to the standing orders which said orders of the day should be taken as they stood on the paper, and he wished, therefore, to know from the Speaker whether the Government were entitled to this privilege ? The SPEAKER decided that they were according to the practice of the house. In reply to a question from Sir R. H. INGLIS, Mr. WILSON stated that the papers relative to the change in the Customs duties of the Isle of Man would be laid before the country as soon as possible. Mr. DISRAELI Said he had received no answer yet to his question relative to India. Lord PALMERSTON could only state, in the ab sence of the noble lord the member for the city of Lon don, that in the present state of public business no day could be fixed for the purpose alluded to. Mr. HUME suggested that the question had better be postponed until a future session. Sir F. KELLY said they had not yet decided what would be taken on Thursday next. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said lie could fix nothing until he saw what progress was made with the legacy duty to-night, but if this subject was got through, lie proposed to take the Spirit Duties Bill and the Hackney Carriage Bill on Thursday next. Mr. COBDEN said the noble lord the member for the city of London promised to state before the house broke up for the holidays, the clay upon which he would take the discussion on the Education Bill. Could any mem ber of the Government state now for the noble lord when the subject would be brought on ? Lord PALMERSTON- replied in the negative, but ample notice would be given of the day after the recess , Mr. E. EGERTON wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether he would be prepared to direct the Board of Stamps to make such arrangements as would afford the public information of that portion of the stamp duties in any year derived exclusively from the transfer of landed property. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not able to supply the information. Mr. NEWDEG ATE wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was the intention of her Ma jesty's Government to require from the proprietors of estates in Antigua the full amount of five per cent. interest upon the capital advanced to them by the Government. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was intended to charge 4 instead of 5 per cent., but there would be no extension of the tune for repayment. Sir J. PAKINGTON wished to ask the Under Secre tary of State for the Colonies whether he intends shortly to lay upon the table further papers on the affairs of the Cape of Good Hope ; and if so, whether they will contain full information as to the views and intentions of her Majesty's Government with respect to the Orange - River Sovereignty and the eastern boundary of that colony. Mr. F. PEEL said it was intended to lay a series of papers upon the table in continuation of those which had already been published. Sir DE L. EVANS asked the Under-Secretary for I the Home Department, whether there will be any objec tion to modify the proposed enactment, for giving sum mary jurisdiction without appeal to a police commis sioner, or in fact, to any constable of the police force, respecting omnibus proprietors, horses, and carriages ? Mr. FITZROY must decline to discuss or answer this question until the second reading came before the house. Sir F. KELLY wished to know if it was intended to make any change in the present exemption from duties of horses engaged in husbandry ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied I in the negative. Mr. BLACKIE inquired of the President of the Board of Control, when it was likely the evidence of the India committee would be printed. Sir C. WOOD said the whole of the evidence which had as yet been taken before the committee, had already been reported, and he hoped it would be printed and in the hands of members immediately after the recess. The motion that the house at its rising do adjourn until Thursday next was then agreed to. PROPERTY QUALIFICATION. _ Mr. TUFFNELL gave notice that, early in June, he should ask for leave to bring in a bill to abolish the pro perty qualification of members ; and when the noble lord moved for leave to bring in a bill to disfranchise persons employed in her Majesty's Dockyards, he should move as an amendment that the votes of such electors should be taken by ballot. (Hear. hear.) INCOME TAX. • On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, the report on the income tax resolutCims was ordered to be received, and the report having been brought up by Mr. BOUVERIE, the resolutions were read and agreed to, and leave given to bring in a bill founded upon them. LEGACY DUTY. _ The house then went into committee of Ways and Means, when Sir J. PAKINGTON rose to resume the debate on the subject of the legacy duty, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE LONDON GAZETTE. (THIS EVENING.) It is hereby notified, that the Right Honourable the Earl of Clarendon, her Majesty's principal Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, has received from Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, her Majesty's Ambassador at the Sublime Porte, a dispatch, dated Constantinople, April the 12th, 1853, inclosing the translation of a circular memo randum, addressed by the Porte to the Foreign Missions, announcing the raising of the blockade of the coasts of Antivari, in consequence of the cessation of hostilities against Montenegro.

SUGAR.—The demand for British Plantation has im proved this week, and prices have become firmer. At auction crystalised Demerara realised 35s to 38s 6d for low to good greyish, and 34s to 34s 6d for mid to good brown. REFINED has been in •good request, at advanced rates. Low to fine grocery lumps, 47s to 49s 6d. EAST INDlA.—Mauritius has been in active request, and at very full rates. Publicly several thousand bags realised 37s to 38s 6d for fine yellow, 35s to 36s 6d for common to good, 30s to 34s Gd for brown, 28s to 29s for very ord, 33s to 38s for refining low to fine, and 40s to 41s for ord to mid white ditto. Bengal has been been in moderate request ; ord to fine white Benares at 36s to 395, fine and superior grainy yellow at 398 to 40s, mid to good at 37s to 38s 6d. Madras has been sold at 29s Gd to 30s Gd for low to good soft yellow. FOREIGN has been firmly supported, with a good inquiry for exportation. Porto Rico, by auction, sold briskly at higher prices, viz., 40s 6d to 41s 6d for fine, and 38s to 398 Gd for mid and good low, and 36s 6d to 37s 6d per cwt. COFFEE.—This article has been extremely dull, and buyers still hold back. Native Ceylon of the new import has been at 4Gs 6d. Plantation has been sold at 55s to 61s for low mid and mid, at 52s for fine ord, and at 50s to 51s for triage. Some peaberry went at 65s 6d.

INDIGO.—Up to last evening 5,945 chests had passed, of which 1,361 sold. Goal and fine Bengal was rather firmer; but Madras and Knrpah of the same quality were cheaper, as well as the lower kinds of Bengal. TALLOW.—The market is quieter. P.Y.C. is 475. per cwt. on the spot. GREEN FRUlT.—Prices of all kinds are well supported, the backward state of our own vegetation causing an addi tio-ml demand for foreign fruit. Some parcels of oranges from St. Michael and Lisbon having been sold by Keeling and Hunt at public sale went at an advance of 2s. to 3s. per box. Lemons are a shade lower, the cold weather being against the use of the articles by the confectioners. Nuts without alteration. Three cargoes of Barcelona have arrived, and been housed in bond, to await the reduction of duty, MARKET NETVS-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. During the present week, and fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of English wheat, coastwise and by land carriage, have been on a very moderate scale. The show of samples of both red and white here to-day, was consequently limited, and, we may add, out of condition ; nevertheless, the demand for all kinds was in a very inac tive state, at Monday's decline in the quotations. Scarcely any business was transacted for forward delivery. Upwards of 26,000 quarters of foreign wheat have ar rived this week, chiefly from the westward. All kinds met a dull inquiry at barely previous currencies. Floating cargoes, though offered on easier terms, were quite neg lected. We were very scantily supplied with home-grown barley ; but the supply of foreign was extensive. All kinds were very dull, and the turn lower. Malt—the show of which was good—sold heavily, at late figures. - The oat trade was dull, owing to the large imports, and prices were with difficulty supported. Beans, peas, and flour were unaltered in value. ARRIVALS THIS WEER. Wheat. Barley. I Malt. Oats. Floor. 2,070 640 3,140 2,310 1,640 7,780 26,430 7,350 20,690 7,700 3k 1 English .. Irish .... Foreign .. SMITHFIELD. To-day's market was but moderately supplied with beasts as to number, whilst their general quality was in ferior. The few prime Soots on offer changed hands steadily, at, in most instances, an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, and the value of other breeds was well sup ported. The supply of sheep was seasonably good, yet the mutton trade ruled firm, at fully Monday's prices. The primest old Downs, in the wool, sold at 5s 4d—out of the wool, 4s 4d to 4s 8d per 81bs. Lambs, the number of which was not large, changed hands steadily, at full currencies ; 400 came to hand from the Isle of Wight. The veal trade was brisk, at a further rise in prices of 2d per Sibs. Tho primest calves were worth 5s per 81bs. Pigs sold slowly, on former terms. Milch cows were firm, at from 15L to 201 each, including their small calf.

With favourable weather and some remarkably fine close racing the meeting terminated. In point of sport it was decidedly the best Second Spring Meeting we ever remember; but in point of betting unquestionably the very worst. Although almost within the shadow of the great event at Epsom, scarcely a bet was laid on Tuesday night, and not,one worth quoting on Wednesday night.
