CITY, Two o'CLocx. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday was quiet, but firm. The sales Were 6,000 bales, 1,500 of which were taken for export, and on speculation. The Railway Shan Market was dull, and prices of all the leading stocks declined. The Bank of England weekly return of liabilities and assets, which is completed for the week ending the . 3oth of May, is very satisfactory, showing an increase of not far short of half a million sterling lo the reserve of notes and the bullion. The public deposits as well as the private deposits have also greatly augmented, and the only unfavourable feature in the balance-sheet is an increase of up wards of 600,0001. in the other securities. It is expected that a moderate proportion of the gold lately received from Australia will be sold to the authorit . es, and the improvement in the general Position of the Bank's resources now apparent is, therefore, likely to continue. TM principal items, and the changes they present are as follows : Active Circulation Increase illullion 10,032,402 Increase ARest 3,302,357 " Decrease 04Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits r Increase Seven-Day and other Bills 713,308 Increase IGovernment Securities Other Securities Increase Notes unemployed Increase The official return of the export of bullion from the port of London for the week ending Thursday last is as follows : Gold Coin „ Bars... Dl. 17,842 „ 11 „ Copenhagen 744 Silver Coin Hamburg . 19 Boulogne •• • ..... The Committee of the Stock Exchange ordered the shares of the Riga and Dfinaburg Railway efronl.pany to be reinstated in the official list. The steamer European, from Australia, is re- Ported to have arrived at. Suez with 48,0001. in gold. On the 20th of March, the Frances Henty had sailed from Victoria with 24,752 ounces ; on the 28th, the Kent with 69,200 ounces ; on the 6th April, the Roxburgh Castle with 30,626 ounces ; the 4th April, the Champion of the Seas, with 32 . 4 ,832 ounces ; and on the 21st March, the Tudor With 14,500. Adviaes from China report a further slight ad vance in the rates of exchange, so that the drain silver from this side will no doubt continue un abated. Money is in good demand, but rather less Pressure is experienced. „Although the variation in the Eng lish Stock Market is very limited, the quotations are buoyant kid the tendency has been upwards. The ship blent of gold from Australia, advised by the over land mail, and the favourable Bank return have I P 3 Parted a firmer tone, and the speculators f or a rise are encouraged to continue their °Aerations. Consols have been 934 to 941 f or money, and 941 buyers for account, but at Present the market is flatter owing to the news T1. ' 313 1 China, the quotations being 937 94 and 941 r espectively.

Consols, money Ditto Amount MINER.—The past week has been particularly dull, even for Whitsun week ; but this dullness has been brought about, not so much from the want of orders on the market to purchase shares, as from the difficulty in finding sellers of such shares as are mostly in demand. The limited number of shares in the principal dividend !tines, and to which we have frequently called attention, is more than ever felt, as the extension of the market causes them to be more widely diffused. We hope, there fore, pursers and managers will no longer object to 1024ths at least, for a subdivision to this number would be a boon to the market, and a benefit to shareholders. Even Devon Console, though in 1024 shares, are most difficult to get When any demand arises, and the case bee imes worse when a mine is divided into 257 only. However, the matter rests with the shareholders, for we believe the extra trouble which, would be entailed through addi tional transfers causes the chief opposition on the past of pursers. The standard, so far, has k e pt a t a remunerative point for copper mines, and no great fall Is anticipated, notwithstanding copper is again down id. per lb. Lead keeps up, and although tin has fallen considerably, as it generally does this time of the year, there is no occasion for any great alarm, for when the Banca sales in Holland are over, and our smelters have bought the tin, we may look for a reaction in prices.—Mining Journal, of this day. HARROW SCHOOL.—The Harrow Speech-day for this Year is fixed for Thursday, the 2d of July. Lord Pal• tuerston has promised to preside at the Harrow dinner in London, on Wednesday, the Bth of July. EARL OF Yeßsoßouoi c s YACHT.—The recovery of the Zoe is doubtful. She has been got off the sand, but has sunk in deep water. Mr. Lewis, diver, of Harwich, Las succeeded in recovering nearly all tile plate and linen, part of the wine, and sundry valuables which Were on board of her at the time she struck. Attempts are to be made, we understand, to raise the yacht.— Nor to ich. Mercury. The gold by the Waliner Castll, from Port Philip, is 3 8,123 ounces, valued at 152,4921. This makes the total Australian arrivals of the present week to have been 573,0001. The only overdue vessels now out are the South Carolina, with 82,0001., and the Medway, With 72,0001. The Catharine Adamson, from Sydney, has arrived off Dartmouth, but her amount of gold remains to be ascer tained. This veesel is stated to have made the passage in 6 9 days, the quickest on record, and her advises will be a fortnight later than those prcriowly received. The ROYAL COLOSSEUM.—This popular institution was honoured on Tuesday last by a vi,it from the Princes of 9 ude and s u it e , w h o ex p resse d th emse l v es highly de lighted with the various attractions and novelties, for which this ruaftnificont building now so J ustly! cele brated si nce it ' 'has been under the new management.

By the time the express train reached Fronae, nearly twenty thousand persons were assembled and lined the way from the station to the town. through which a well-arranged procession of Forester°, and other charitable associations, or Trades Unions, was duly paraded, together with banners and the usual accompaniment of several bands of music. The vast crowd at length assembled in an adjoining field, where tents and every arrangement was made for the enjoyment of a holyday by tho million.- ' Some addresses were offered by gentlemen who have taken an interest in Mr. Nicoll's election, but special at tention was reserved for the remarks offered by the gentleman, who spoke at some length, but deprecated discussion, as he stated that, being now a representa tive of the community generally, ho would naturally ob ject to throw the apples of discord amongst them, indeed, he was there merely to enjoy with them a holiday ; and proceeded to pay a well-deserved compliment to the charitable institutions whose procession through the streets had been so much admired. Mr. Nicoll said that in no other country is the word, save where the Anglo-Saxon language was spoken, could such institutions prosper. Elsewhere secret societies were suspected to have treasonable thoughts ; but in these insti tutions loyalty over exists-i-indood, he believed every member would freely shed the last drop of blood in his v!ins to defend the throne of her, who, whether as a wife, a mother, or a queen, deserved the love and duty of her Ve. , Ple- The hon. gentleman rroceedf,al to address his young fronds, who were rather boisterms, in their shouts of " Nicoll for ever !" lie urged the lasses to follow the counsel of their good friends, who had their best in terests at heart, and never forgot that it was their mission to become the future helpmates -of England's pride, its honest and intelligent working men, that they could, by their example, lead them to the enjoyment of much happiness ; undue visits to the public-house, and many other ancient evils could be best avoided by a well ordered and comfortable home. To the la Is he would say , more, as they would have to battle with the sterner rea alities of life, and he would give them this advice, Never be daunted by the first disappointment : but if this cause was right, let it merely urge thorn to renewed efforts, which generally terminated in success. They might think his position amongst them a sufficient illustra tion, because when he first accepted an invitation to represent the borough he was defeated,. but conscious the cause was right, he renewed his efforts, and the largo minority was converted into a larger majority. Mr. Nicoll said that it was highly probable that many of the lads there before him might emigrate, and, by carrying ener getic and industrious habits to the lam' of their adoption, they might contribute to the foundation of future mighty empires ; but they would in all probability never cease to have kindly recollections of the land of their birth. They might half a eentury hence be talking to their grandchildren, and speak of a Whit-Tuesday when thou sands assembled in their native town to welcome its re presentative, who by his industry had carved for him self a career of usefulness, and had not without honour, as' he had been made sheriff of the greatest city in tho world before he was thirty years of age, and less than ten years from his shrievality he was called to represent a borough with which he bedlong bad commercial relations. Ho (Mr. Nicoll) was another instance, however humble a man's occupation be, yet, if pursued honourably, it could not, and would not, affect him in the oyes of sensible men. The honourable gentleman was loudly cheered throughout his speech, and after the enjoyment of many rural sports, togeiher with dancing, continued to a lato hour, the holy day crowd at length separat ed, hi g hl y gratified by the arrangements that had been made for their enjoyment.

The noble earl at , ked her Majeay'e Government whether they intended to introduce any measure to meet the require ments of the shipowners, and if not, in what other way they meant to grant relief. The noble earl rtferred at some length to the act in question, which, instead of being short and concise, was of a totally op posite nature. It occupied upwards of three hundred pages, and contained more than five hundred clauses, consequently it would occupy nearly the whole of the life-time of an ordinary seaman to become acquainted with the whole of its provisions. The noble call then referred to the hardships shipowners laboured under, in consequence of the liability they incurred by loss of life occurring on board ship. The shipowners strongly objected to the Coin t of Inquiry instituted by the act. They considered this tribunal a very arbitrary one. After a few other observations the noble lord resumed his seat. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said he bad lis tened attentively to the observations of the noble and one of the grievances complained of, ',vas the extreme 1,-ngth of the Merchant Shipping Act. Now, when it was considered that this Act was a consolidation of no less than 128 Acts relating to the shipping, he did not think it was surprising that it occupied so large a space. He thought, looking to the whole facts of the case, no consolidation of the law upon any point bad been effected with such consummate ability as the pre sent one. The noble lord having replied to the other observations of the noble earl, said there was no ground whatever for any alteration in the law as it at present existed. The Earl of HARDWICKE said that the petition that had been presented by the noble earl opposite W/%3 a very important one, and he thought the grievances complained of by the shipowners ought to be investi• gated by a selmot committee. 10 19 11h 54 36 88 7i 1211 101 61f 5 4i 111 i 1014 f 8[ 8 p! 1001 936 2, 2 44 69i 93 89i a 90 23i i 121 t. too .2i all .2i all it. 100 6 .4 it. 100 1 L2 l all [2i all [2O 10. ;t: 100 ;t. 100 ;t. 100 ;t. 100 .0 All 0 8 .0 all ;t. 100 it. 100 it. 100 it. 100 7 3? 2 41.;100 L 7 83 2,1 9 :5 10 !O all ;t. 100 3t. 100 8.44, all it 1 100 it. !100 !100 25 all 10 , all 5:1.61 all it. lion it. 1100 it. 100 it. 100 9 all ;5 all 15115 L2il all 5 j all 21 1 12 .. 20 5 4i I .0 9 .. 40 ~. 1256 FOREIGN MINES. —_, 20 7 (Australian 35 27 Brazilianlmp.(issued at L 5 pm) 30 all Do.

COWS IN HYDE-PARK. Mr. K. SEYMEII, ;eked the Chief Commissioner of Works, by whoseanthority cows were permitted in Hyde park, when they were excluded from the other parks ; whether the number was limited, and whether any of the officers of the Ranger's Department er of the Board of Works were allowed to have the run of cows free of charge ; and if so, bow many were allowed to each such officers! (Hear, hear.) Sir B. HALL said that he was informed by the de puty-ranger that cows were permitted in Hyde-park under the authority of the ranger, and the number was limited acc,irding to the state of the herbage, (Laughter.) Per mission was granted to any person to put cows in the park on the payment of rent. Last year the sum of 4741. 14i. was so received, and carried into the public accounts. After referring to the desirable means of supplying Los don with new milk, the right hon. baronet's informant said that the only person who had permission to keep cows there without payment was the superintendent. That person kept five cows, and had done so for tlfe last • 29 years ; but, if objectionable, that individual was wil ing to relinquish his privilege without compensati.m. CIVIL SERVICE SUPERANNUATION. Sir. E. L. BULWER gave not►ce that he should, in a few days, enquire of the Government if they in tended to introduce any measure this session founded on the report of the Civil Service Coinmissioners ? THE NIILITIA. BOUNTY. Colonel FRENCH asked the Under Secretary for War, in the event of the Irish not being called out or trainirg this year, bow the men were to get the bounty of one pound ? Sir J. RA.MSDEN asked the gallant gentleman to repeat the question when the vote for the militia came before the house. COMMUNICATION BEriv EEN ENGLAND AND IRELAND. In answer to a question, Mr. WILSON said that the United Company pro posed meeting to•morrow to decide on this question, and in the early part of the week he hoped to be al le ti give the required information. TROOPS AT THE CAPE. _ Major S. WORTLEY asked when it was intended to relieve the 6th, 45 , 6, and 73d Regiments, now at the Cape of Good Hope ? Sir J. RA.M.SDEN said that the arrangements of the service would not permit the withdrawal of the troops at present, especially when the preseat state of the Cape was considered. ECOLESIA.STICA.L COMMISSION. Lord It. CECIL asked the Secretary of State for the Home Departme❑t when it was his intention to intro duce his 1)111 on the subject of the Ecclesiastical Com mission 7 Sir G. GREY said he hoped to be able to introduce 02e bill next vo eek. H ALF-PAY. Sir G. B. PECIIELL inquired of the Secretary of the Treasury, whether the case of certain officers of Green wich hospital, praying to be granted half-pay, had been favourably considered! Mr. WILSON said he was unable then to give a satisfactory answer, and he would make enquiries about EDUCATION. Sir J. PAKINGTON moved tle adjournment of the house, in order that he might appeal to the noble lord, as there was no chance of his being able to bring on his motion on education on the day he had given notice, to ask him to give him a Government day for its discussion. A NOBLE LORD said he should like to know whether the Government meant to make any proposal with re gard to manorial rights on the sea.ehore compulsory, the power possessed by the Crown of calling upon lords of the manor to produce their titles to wrecks being very unsatisfactory in their operation. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY said there were no compulsory powers with regard to the production of titles ; all that was done was to institute a preliminary inquiry. With regard to the matters complained of in the petition, he had no hesitation in saying that the Government were prepared to give them their best con sideration. He saw no objection to giving a power of appeal from the Court of Admiralty. The inspectors did not follow any trade, and therefore were likely to be unprejudiced. With regard to measurement by ton nage, ha must observe that no longer ago than 1854 the whole q•ostion involved was submitted to those who were most competent to judge, namely, representat:ves of the Admiralty, of the law, of the Trinity House, and of all the great shipping ports, and they all agreed to recommend the adoption of the system which was now in operation. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said he was not generally in favour of the system of allowing appeals, considering it best to take care that the court of origi nal jurisdiction was ene on which they could rely. (Hear.) One of the great complaints of the petitioners was the delay which attended inspection ; and in most cases the delay which would attend appeals would be a greater evil than the injury complained of. Consider ing that the Merchant Shipping Act was passed only two or three years ago, he thought the Government should not on light grounds consent to any alteration being made in its provisions. Lord CAMPBELL said the question of manorial rights having been introduced, he wished to observe, that he himself, i❑ consequence of having the good or bad fortune to be the proprietor of an estate near the sea-shore, in Ireland, received a notice from an officer of the customs, in Galway, calling upon him to state whether he meant to claim the wrecks, and if so, on what title he based his claim in opposition to the Crown He was told that this inquiry arose out of the consolida tion of the laws relating to the mercantile marine. All he could say in reply was that he obtained his estate under the Incumbered Estates Act, and upon that act he must repose. Lord REDESDALE considered the whole proceed ing most unfair. Every proprietor was called upon to come forward and prove his title to the satisfaction of the officer of the Crown who was a claimant against him ; and if he took possession of a wreck without beirg en titled to it, he thereby ant jetted himself to a heavy penalty. The case was altogether one of injustice, and nothing less than the repeal of the clauses was required. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY must repeat that no person was compelled to produce his title. All the act did was to secure to the Crown wrecks which did not belong to private individuals. Earl GREY said his own experience was similar to that of the noble and learned lord (Campbell). The wrecks on his estate had been claimed for a very long period, when he received peremptory notice not to take anything, not ever, a spar no bigger than his stick. The Earl of DERBY said he had been called upon in a similar manner. (Laughter.) Like the Earl of Sef ton, whose estate joined his own, he was called upon to show his title to wrecks, and though the wrecks them selves might be of little value, the question involved the right of property in the shore between high and low water-mark, which was worth many thousand pounds. He had no reason to complain of the manner in which he was applied to, but he was peremptorily called upon not to take possession of any wreck until he had proved his title. Lord WYNFORD believed that there were a great many cases of oppression at that moment. A Noble LORD observed that having been served with a notice, he had paid no attention to it, and he bad since heard no more of the matter. (Laughter.) Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY would remind the noble lord that it was not admitted on the part of the Crown that his title was established. Lord CAMPBELL hoped it would not be supposed that those who took no notice of the matter allowed judgment to go by default, Lord BROUGHAM, adverting to the question of ap peals, said he admitted that it was desirable to avoid the multiplication of appeals, and for this purpose original courts of jurisdiction ought to be made as perfect as pos sible; but, on the other hand, there were functional de fects as well as structural ones, and wen the best court without a power of appeal from its decisions might be come worse than inferior ones which admitted of appeal. Lord COLCHESTER considered that the power given by certai❑ clauses of the act to inspectors was eteessive. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY would gladly re ceive any suggestion from the noble lord, who was inti mately acquainted with the subject. The matter then dropped. PROBATE AND LETTERS OF ADMINISTRA- TION BILL. This bill was read a third time and passed, after some miscellaneous comments upon the details of the measure from Lord Donoughmore, and Wynford, and other peers. IRISH POOR LA.W ADMINISTRATION. LOrdCLONCURRY moved for copies of the corre spondence between the Irish Poor Law Commissioners and the Celbridge Board of Guardians on the subject of the dismissal by the Commissioners of Mr. J. Coonan, the rate collector appointed by the said guardians ; also the Commissioners' letter directing that the ratepayers of the New Castle electoral division should be disfran chised as defaulters. Earl GRANVILLE said he had no objection to giv ing the return it the last two paragraphs were omitted. HZ referred to the authorities in Ireland for information on the case brought forward by the noble lord. It ap peared that the facts had been inquired into, but it was found impossible to take such a course as would meet the views of the noble lord. The return was then ordered, the last two paragraphs being omitted. The house adjourned at 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMAIONS.—(YESTBIiDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBERS. Mr. KEATrNa, the new Solicitor-General, and Mr. T. -BARING, took their oathn and their seats on th e i r re• PR e l ec tion, and Sir HAYES for Donegal. IVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and p3Fsed :—Briton Ferry Docks, Glasgow GAM, Elidsgrove Market, Saint Helens Canal and Railway, and Scottish Central Railway. The following bills were considered and ordered to be read a third time :—Banff, Macduff, and Turriff Exten sion Railway ; Brighton, Hove, and Preston Constant Service Water ; European and Indian Junction Tele graph Company ; Forth and Clyde Junction Railway ; New River Company ; Saint Philip's Church, Liver pool ; Wilmslow and Lawton Road ; and Portsmouth Railway. PETITIONS. Petitions were presented in favour of the Oaths B ill, for inquu y into the grievances of the Land Transport Corps, for an alteration in the 'Superannuation Act, and in favour of the Beer Bill ; from Birmingham in favour OUR RELATIONS WITH BRAZIL. Mr. ROEBUCK referring to the late discussion wills reference to our relations with Brazil, asked for the pro duction of certain papers relating thereto.. SHAM ELECTION PETITIONS. Mr. ADDERLEY called the attention of the house to the practice of presenting sham petitions to the house against hon. members' returns, and instanced his own case, where a person named Fox, a journeyman hatter, of Newcastle-under-Lyne, a stranger to him, charged him with c irrupt practices. Unfor tunately men making such attaaks escaped punishment by the house not publishing the libel. In his case he would readily expend 1,0001 to bring the man to justice, did the law and the rules of the house permit it. It was time measures should be taken to prevent the repetition of such practises. The law shoulJ make it compulsory on the petitioners to pay all expenses if they had not good grounds for doing so. He firmly believed that fifty per cent. of the petitions against mem bers were not genuine, but for the purpose of extorting money. (Hear, bear.) He asked the Govern meet what course they intended to take relative to this question/ Mr. G. 11. MOORE complained of the manner he had been treated by the House and the press relative to the petition that had been presented against his return. His remarks were principally directed to the honourable member for North Warwickshire (Mr. Spooner), who, it was understood, the hon, member said had used it in debate. He considered the publication bad the effect of prejudging the case. He protested against the privilege of the press, and that house being used in these instances to the prejudice of the sitting member. Mr. H. DUNCOMBE referred to the abuse of these petitions. He had known instances where petition's had been withdrawn by the agents without the consent of the petitioning parties. lie condemned the present Corrupt Practices Act, which be thought rather tended to the conception of corrupt practices than their preven tion. He hoped the Government would do something to get rid of the evils complained of. • Mr. SPOONER defended himself from the supposition that he would do anything wilfully that might tend to the prejudging of any case. The document he quoted was in the bands of all the members. Viscount PALMERSTON was quite sure the right hon. bart. (SiroL Pakington) would believe that he en tirely concurred with what must be the opinion of the whole house, that no member was entitled to more cour tesy and consideration at the bands of the Government than the right hon. bart., especially in reference to the subject with which he was anxious to call upon the house to deal. He also admitted that the subject of education was one eminently deserving to be taken into consideration and discussed in a new House of Com mons at the earliest opportunity. On the other hand, he wool .I submit to the right hon. bait.—who, whatever his anxiety in regard to that question, would, he was sure, enter into the feelings of her Majesty's Government in this regard—that they had as yet made but very little way with the estimates—(hear)—some estimates of con siderable consequence yet remaining to be voted. Be this there were measures of great importance which the Government was desirous to proceed with in order that they might be sent up to the other house in time to pass during the present session. The right hoe. bart. had been hitherto unfortunate in the ballot for priority ; but though as yet unsuccessful, he might be more fortu nate before long. All he could say was that be was afraid he was unable at the present moment to offer the right hon. baronet a Government day for his motion. When, however, they bad made more progress with the public business—if the right bon. baronet should be still unsuc cessful in the ballot—be (Lord Palmerston) would have much pleasure in affording the opportunity he desired. With regard to the question of his hon. and learned friend (Mr. Roebuck), what he (Lord Palmerston) stated on a former evening was exactly what his hon. and learned friend had quoted. He stated that the operation of the act of 1845, in regard to the Brazilian slave trade, was suspended by the mutual consent of the two Goveen meats. But if his hon. and learned friend or the house understood that by that he meant to say that the Bra zilian Government consented to the continuance of tbe act in its suspended state, he wished to correct that impression, and to explein that he used those ex pressions somewhat hastily, and without due considera tion. What he meant to say was, that the act of 1845 was suspended in consequence of communications which took place between the two Governments--that was suspended by the British Government, in fast, in defer ence to the wishes of the Brazilian Government ; and in consequence of that Government having used its active exertions in putting an end to the slave trade. With re gard to the production of the correspondence, the papers in reference to the Brazilian slave trade were annually laid before Parliament, in which the correspondence on the points referred to would as a matter of course appear. But be would not trouble his hon. and learned friend to wade through the somewhat bulky blue-books in which the papers were comprised, but would have the corres pondence extracted and printed, and direct it to be placed in the library. With regard to the nomplaint of the hon. member for Stafford , it was un questionably true that the right of petitioning against the return of mem bers of Parliament we e frequently used for improper purposes. The ho n. gentleman said that charges were often broug ht which the parties making them knew to be unfounded, for the purpose of extorting a or , in some ca ses , he believed, a consider. able compromise, es eaYwent. No doubt it was so, and no doubt it was most desirable to put an end to such p ractices ; cs but on the other hand they had to consider the character of Parliament, and they ought not, in order to prevent such abuses of the power given by law, to restrict too much the right of petitioning, and the opportunities of electors or defeated candidates of bringing before Parlia ment the improper and corrupt practices by which the successful candidates might have secured their election, They would do wrong it on the one hand they too much restricted the right of petition, while no doubt on the other hand there was an inconvenience arising from the power given under the act regulating the trial of con troverted elections, of making unfounded charges against sitting members. The hon. gentleman, however, should remember that an election petition could only proceed from an elector, or from the defeated candidate him self ; but the hon. gentleman complained that a peti tion had been presented containing libellous --because unfounded charges against him, and that that petition having been withdrawn, he ha s no remedy agccusations. ainst his accusers, and no means of refuting their a But surely there could be no stronger admission that the charges were unfounded than the dropping of the peti tion. And with regard to the character of the hon. mem ber, no one who was acquainted with his public career or his private life would suppose for a moment that he had been guilty of the offences which had been all, ged against him. But the petitioner was in all these cases under a certain liability—he was liable to the payment of all and every expense incurred by the sitting member in consequence of the petition. After all, the temedy was very much in the hands of hon. members themselves. It was said thagelection petitions were sometimes presented with the view of extorting money. In such cases the ob vious duty o itbe member petitioned against was to bring the fact forward as a breach of privilege, and as such the house would take immediate cognisance of it he was sure. And in the case of a pe tition presented to induce the withdrawal of another petition, if that other petition was well founded why should the parties withdraw it 1 They FOR: IGIN. 72i if 11i i 100 J 100 1 42i a 69 8! 108 9 911. 211 143115',
