CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Accounts from Liverpool sta►e that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, at last week's rates. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales, 800 of which were taken for export. The Railway Share Market closed with a quie E but steady appear ance, at a slight advance in prices. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets are firm, but business is rather quiet. The arrivals of sugar are numerous, but the stock is still limited, and prices are consequently maintaine I. Coffee is steady, and tea is supported at previous prices. In other articles there is no variation to report. The amount of bills drawn by the Hon. East India Company upon their three Presidencies of Bengal, Madras, and Bombay, from the 10th to the 25th instant, both days inclusive, was as wader :-- Rates of Exchange— Amount. On Bengal, 2s Ca per rupee... £24 709 6 3 On Madras, 2s o.d per rupee... 3,277 12 10 On Bombay, 2s. Id. per rupee... 527 18 4 Tot&L 4'28,514 17 I'D An adjourned meeting was held yesterday of the creditors of Messrs. Thomas Biggs and Son, when a composition of 9s. in the pound was agreed to. It is stated, in accounts ftom Paris, that the liabilities of M. Thurneysen, amount to between 500,000/. and 600,000/. There is rather more activity in the demand for discounts to-day, and fully previous rates are exacted for accommodation. During the next few days increased pressure will, no doubt, be expe rienced, owing to the settlements at the Stock Ex change, and the preparations for the commercial bills falling due on the 4th proximo. Besides the absorption of capital for there pnrposes, the ar rangements in progress for the remittances by the steamer Indus on the 4th proximo will give em ployment to an important amount. It is believed that the quantity of silver which will then be despatched will be very large, and there is con sequently a good demand at full prices. Bars are 58 . Id. per ounce standard, and five-franc piece s 45. Dd. per ounce. The Market for Public Securities is very quiet, and the movement in prices is unimportant. Up to this hour the variation has not exceeded 1-16 per cent., and attention is chiefly directed to the adjustment of the Foreign Stock and Share accounts. Speculation is at a stand, and in the absence of any fresh circumstances to affect values they remain without fluctuation. The Government broker has made his usual purchase of 30,0001. Exchequer Bills. Consols for transfer have been 938 1, and for account 931 The New Three are 924 1, the Reduced 921 t, and the New 2 per Cents. 771. Bank Stock is 212 to 2131, and India Stock to 222. The March Exchequer Bills are 4s. to 6s. premium, and the " Advertised" ditto is. to 3s. premium. The Bonds are 98 to 99. Foreign Stocks are quit, and the quotations appear heavy, owing probably to the settlement. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 941 ; on these Securi ties the " coutango" is to per cent. The 4pf r Cents. are 1014. ; and Portugues 3 per Cents, are 46i; Venezuela 41 per Cents. are 35 ; French 3 per Cents., 69f. 75c. ; and Brazilian 5 per Cents., 100 The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds. 61 7 : Mexits 221 1 ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., 77 78; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45i 61 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 105 107 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 96 98 ; 'Spanish 3 per Cents,, - 411 ; ditto Deferred. 2. ; ditto Certi ficates, 6i 7 ; ditto Passive, 51 6. In the Railway Share Market this morning busi ness has been inactive, many of the dealers being engaged in making the usual arrangem , nts for the settlement of the hale-monthly account, There is little change to report in price, but one or two of the lines have exhibited a slightly downward tendency. Eastern Counties, and Lancashire and Yorkshire, declined ss; and North-Eastern (B r wick ) 10s.; Norfolk improved 10s., and South-East. , rn Ss. The French and. Canadian, and East Indian lines were inactive. Northern of France improved about ss. East Indian declined 10s., and GrAnd Trunk and Great Western of Canada realised former quo tations. Mining Shares are at nominal values, the only transaction reported being in Great Wheal Alfred at 6i -a. Joint-stock Bank Shares are rather firmer. Bank of Australasia improved ss. ; and Ottoman Bank, declined ss. In Miscellaneous Shares no change of impor tance has taken place. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONE O'CLO , !K. ( From the ()Lima ',mt.)

British Agriculturist says Strychnine is will waging war against the c4tAtie species, Notwithstanding the recent decision of the Sheriff Substitute a' Perth, the gamekeepers in the south are laying down strychnine as abundantly as ever. BOILED AND FRIED.—The Toronto Globe states that great excitement prevails among the lumbermen of the Ottowa, in consequence of a manifesto against the wasteful practice of frying pork which the employers who protision tbe!r labourers have issued. The employers say :—" We desire to furnish to th •se in our emi loy an abundance of good food suitable for their nourishment and maintenance in go d health and strength, but being convinced that fried pork administers no more to tbe-e ends than boiled, and in view of the great loss Bw-tamed by the practice of frying it, and the unusually high price of this article at the present time, do most emphatically protest against a farther continuance of the practice, and have instructed our foreman that it be wholly abolished." THUNDERSTORM IN PARIS. —A thunderstorm, even more violent than that of Thursday last, burst over Paris yesterday. The morning was fine, though clouded, Without much sultriness. At 2 o'clock the sky became completely overcast and lowering, and the lightning.be gan to dart from the heavy mass of clouds. The wind r apidly rose, and grew to almost the fury of a hurricane, and the thunder-peals were load and frequent. The rain rushed down in a deluge, and in k few minutes torrents swept along the streets. This storm of thunder, wind, and rain was, indeed, most violent, though it did not last more than half an hour, but the thoroughfares were completely flooded. After a short interval the rain again cams down in abundance, and continued for some time. BILLINGSCIATE FISH INIABgET.—A correspondent, who has long advocated for deep-sea fishing, and fish market ina provements, has brought under our notice the present filthy state of Billin g sgate fish market. He says— " With water pumped from the river Thames by a Powerful steam engine into a fountain erected in the middle of the market, sufficient to wash the whole of Lower Thames street from one end to the other clean in the course of about an hour, bas a system been adopted it is still my unpleasant task again tocomplain of. The whole of the paint work ab mat the ma-ket is so un clean, filthy, and studded with fish sc des, that, now the warm weather has set in, when all public market places should receive sani:ary dressiiir, but more particularly fish markers, it is to be hoped the proper authoritie s Will at least see that the paint w. rk is pniperly scrubbed and washed, it they do not think it uczessary to give it a new coat. I n t h e heat o f d ay, an d close weather, th e sm ell proceedin g "lensive." from the filthy paint work is most `i*-• SHARE MARKETS—(This Day.) RAILWAYS. RALLWATB. OlAmbg. Nottng. Bost. di Eastn.

This was an action i❑ trover, brought by the plaintiff to recover an amount of compensation for the conversion of testimonials left with the defendants and lost by them. ? 64 1 93 - 95 83 - 85 84 - 86 100 - 101 - 10 1 - 17 91 - 104 72 - 74 19 - 19. ) 2 - 91 141 -14 i 133 - 135 The plaintiff, on entering the defendants' service, left with the traffic manager four testimonials having refer ence to his previous character and occupation, and on his leaving their service he demanded that they should be given up to him, but they could not be foumd, having been lost or mislaid. The Court thought there ought to have been a count in the declaration for a bailment, as they could nct see evidence of a conversion, to make out which there must be gross negligence. Lord Campbell, after hearing the facts of the case, said that the rule might be granted for a new teal and an amendment of the declaration on payment of costs.

A RICH NEST.--A few days since as a young lad be longing to Perth was passing through a wood near Logie almond, he accidentally came upon a nest containing nine eggs. As he had never previously seen eggs of the same colour, and was curious to know to what kind of birds they belonged, he brought them with him to Perth, and submitted them to a dealer in game. The lad's surprise may be imagined when the dealer told him he would give him is. 6d. for each of them. The money was, of course, readily accepted, after which the lad was told they were the eggs; of the capercailzie.— Perthehire Qourien RAILWAYS. Buckghamsh . Clydesdale Jc. Col.Stour Vy.

The riddle which "he who solved the Sphinx's might die guessing," will be explained in a few hours. Still, they who have attempted to expound it seem as far from the truth as over, and indeed they appear to be scarcely "warm." The latest movements in the Turf Market are more calculated to increase their perplF xity, than to aid them in their speculations, for never was betting, in certain instances, so wild, vague, and unsettled. Despite the " hearing up " for Saunterer, and the demonstrations which have been made in favour of Anton, Tournament, and others, Skirmisher maintains his position with won derful firmness. All sorts of reports are, however, cir culated about Lim, to the effect that he is stale and shin sore ; but from ocular proof I am not induced to place much faith in these rumours. The horse seems in admirable condition ; albeit, I must confess that he does not gallop with the vigour and determination which he evinced at York. At present it is uncertain who will ride him, and it is even stated that Mr. G. S. Thompson, a gen tleman jockey, who rode him for the Biennial Stakes last year, at the York Spring Meeting, will have the mount. I must confess, however, were I a backer of Skirmisher I shou'd prefer a " professional" to an ama teur, however accomplished. Of Skirmisher's preten sions I have frequently written. His Handicap achieve ments were net exactly such as to warrant the placing of implicit faith in his chance, but the style in which he cut down Wardermarske and Apathy at York is suffi cient to warrant the expectations of his partizans. The b p e o t w t i e n r of money has forced g list, and, unless e gshebe Anton to supersededt h b y e head of h Saunterer,te he is likely to remain there until the bell rings for saddlin. To build hopes of Anton's success, on his Two Thousand running, would be somewhat absurd, for surely it was no great achievement to beat such a long-legged horse as Loyola by a head only. In that performance, however, there was more - than met the eye. His owner determined on running him only with in a few weeks of the race, and the horse was conse quently sent to the post with a hurried and patched up preparation. It is stated that much improvement has been effected in his Two Thousand form, and that the Days are confident of success. Anton is a remarkably clean and "pretty" horse, with a light, quick action ; and, if he be only capable of staying, the next portrait issued by Messrs. Bailey Brothers may be that of ANTON, WINNER OF TEE DERBY 1857. IMPERIA HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Madras complaining of the administration of justice in India, and also one from the vestry of Marylebone, praying for the establishment of a tribune' to arrange the amount of compensation to be given to nersoes urjnstly convicted. The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that on Thursday next he should present a petition from the proctors of Doctors' Commons on the subject of the Testamentary Jurisdiction Bill. THE OATH OF SUPREMACY. The Earl of WICKLOW called the attention of their lordships to a petition presented by the noble and learned lord on the woolsack on Friday last from a gen tleman who had been appointed to a magistracy in the county of Hertford, but from conscientious scruples could not accept such appointment, in consequence of his cbjection to take the oath of supremacy stating that the rope had not any jurisdiction, spiritual or temporal, within the realm, he believing that the Pope did exa-else a spiritual jurisdiction over a certain portion of her Majesty's subjects. He (Earl Wicklew) was not surprised at such objection being made. It was stated that those who took the oath, were in effect swearing that they were members of the Church of England. A bill had been introduced a few days ago, to alter the oaths taken by members of Parliament, and to his great astonishment, he found the oath was still retained. He trusted that the Government would reconsider the subject and ex punge the objectionable words. He beggei to eel( the noble lord on the woolsack whether be could hold out any such hope. If he could not he should feel it his duty to oppose the bill. The LORD CHANCELLOR said the course pursued by the noble earl was irregular. The proper time to consider the objections of the nob'e earl would be when the bill was under their lordships' consideration. The noble earl could then move any amendment he thought proper. The Earl of WICKLOW said he expected just such an answer as he had received. He,•however, would re mind their lordships that the bill would most likely come up at a period of the session when it would be utterly im possible to consider it properly. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. Lord LYNDHURST said, before the house went into committee, he wished to make a few observations re specting the bill. There was one prelinlinary to be gone through in respect to the present state of the law of divorce, to which he had the strongest objections, he alluded to actions for criminal conversation. An amendment had been made in the bill to abolish the objectionable proceeding, but the noble and learned lord who had embodied the amendment had put it in such a shape as to make such a provision more objectionable than the existing state of the law. There was a strong feeling in favour of entirely abolishing these actions, awl be earnestly urged the noble and learned lord at once, and for ever, to abolish those objectionable proceedings. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord REDESDALE moved that no private bill be read a second time after Monday, July 21 ; that no bill confirming any provisional order of the Board of Health, or authorising any inclosure of lands under special report of the inclosure Comissioners for England and Wales, or for confirming any scheme of the Charity Commissioners for England and Wales, should be read a second time after Monday, 21st July next. That when a bill should have passed this house with amendments these orders shall not apply to at.y new bill sent up from the House of Commons which the chairman of com mittees should report to the house is substantially the same as the bill so amended. The motion was agreed to. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. On the motion that their lordships go into committee on this bill, The Duke of NORFOLK moved that the Divorce and Matrimonial Causes Bill be referred to a select com 'slitters, for the purpose of taking evidence and resolving as to whether the permission for divorced persons to marry again has any warrant in Holy Scripture. The Bishop of ST. DAYIDS agreed with the Duke of Norfolk, whom he highly eulogised, that the question was both difficult and ambiguous. The Lord Chancellor, like the Praetor with the philosophers of the different sects, had congregated all the difficulties - together, and supposed by his authority teat he could reconcile them. Legis , ation in such matters was invariably futile and un fortunate. 14 confounded the free spirit of the Gospel with the dead letter of the Mosaic law. Let them deal largely with the question on the greater Christian principles, not attempt to legislate for minor details. He feared this bill, and he doubted its working. It would familiarise divorce in the public mind as connected with the mar riage state and would by no means tend to increase the number oepure and happy marriages. The Earl of HARRO WBY supported the bill. As for the Duke of N irfolk's suggestion of referring a par ticular clause to a committee, to ascertain whether it agreed with a particular text of Scripture, he thought such a council would not find its edicts very binding in their lord-hip's house. Lord REDESDALE thought the committee would decide in opposition to the principles of the clause. He would support the Duke of Nortolk's motion if pressed to a division, The Duke of ARGYLL thought this was an attempt to get rid of the hill by a side wind. Viscount DUNGANNON heartily supported the motion for a committee. Lord DENMAN commenced reading a speech on the Divine permission to marry again in the New Testament hut was interrupted by the Earl of Derby, as being out of order in so doing. On a division on the amendment thenumbers were : Contents Non-contents 26 Majorityagainst the amendment —27 The bode then went into committee, and Clauses 1 to 5 were aereed to. On Clause 6, The LORD CHANCELLOR, in reply to a question from Earl GREY, said that there would be but one court under the bill, that it would sit in London, and he had no intention to empower the County ourts to try divorce cages. Earl GREY asked how could the Lord Chancellor and the other three judges who were to constitute this new court devote their attention to it, when all the time they had was even now fully preoccupied 3 The law, more over, must be brought within the means of all—else bow could they hope to correct the brutality which every police me port told them was so rife in the humbler classes! The pool:diluents now inflicted too often aggravated the evils they were intended to prevent and cure. The only true remedy was to enable the wife to be separated from her husband. But let the existing tribunals deal with such cases. Trio LORD CHANCELLOR said it would be easy to have additional judges if the duties proved too heavy. Lord DUNGANNON was sorry the measure was not extended to Ireland. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it should hereafter be so extended. After a few words of objection from Earl GREY, and approbation from Lord Ceursene, the clause was agreed to, as were o hers up to Clause 14. Lord ST, LEONARDS proposed the insertion of a clause to the effect that after a woman had beendeserted by her husband for one year, she might, on application before a magistrate, obtain an order of court preventing all interference with any property acquired by her own earnings, and protecting her, as by injunction in Chan cery, from all suits on the part of the husband or his cre ditors, placing them under penalty of fine and imprison ment, with further provision fur appeal to the court of marriage and divorce. The LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the clause as complicated, and likely to lead to confusion. What was to become of the children Lord CAMPBELL thought the best remedy was a legal separation. To refer such cases to justices would lead to m ire c rate i The Bishop of OXFORD said bore was a remedy short of divorce. He hoped the motion would be pressed. The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S said the property of the wife would be safe and'-r this clause, but not her person. Lord ST. LEONARDS replied that when a man de serted his wife it was plain be did not desire her person. The Duke of ARGYLL said the justices would be sore pressed to carry out these clauses. Earl GREY mid that after all they must come, some how, to a separation, and that must be effected by a local authority. If the man had the right to return to the person of his wife, he must soon get hold of her pro perty. The LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the clause because it had no force until the husband returned after deserting his wife. He might then take all her property, while she only had the right to get protection for her future earnings. They must, in fact, divorce the woman so as to give her some status. Lord ST. LEONARDS defended the clause.

Binnole!3 Vaulty (taken) Lord LYNDHURST proposed an amendment The movements relative to Saunterer are not a little perplexing. His owner backs him as if he had the cel lars of the Bank of England at his command, or as if he had the stakes in his pocket. A misunderstanding, too, has arisen between the owner of Saunterer and a well known member of the ring ; and this fact induces many people to believe that the supp,,rt conceded to the horse is as much the result of pique and tem per as of confidence. Saunterer is a small, strong horse, admirably suited to the Derby course, and should the reports respecting his short preparation and his coughing be exaggerated, he may bring Mr. Jackson triumphantly out of an awkward dilemma. Fordham will have his first mount for a Derby to morrow. He will ride Tournament, and Fortune may crown with success his first endeavour to carry off the blue riband. Certainly he is lucky to make his debut in the race on such an animal as Tournament. Yesterday the horse was not in very steady demand ; but he be longs to a party that is not very powerful, and who do not back horses simply for the sake co' keeping them in the market. Tournament's performances prove him to be the best public runner in the race; and were I con fident that he has improved on his two-year-old form, 1 should have little hesitation in selecting him for my champion. Ho does not, however, appear to be grown, and on that accountl am reluctantly compelled to with hold my confidence from him. Sydney pleased " the judges" by his gallops since he has been located at Epsom, and it is confidently expected that he had he will prove Two Thousand running to be quite a mistake. I, however, have little faith in horses that ought to win races and never do. Sydney, it is said, ought to have won the Clearwell, the Criterion, and the Two Thousand, but should he be beaten to-morrow I scarcely think the warmest of his admirers will again lay the flattering unction to their soul, and say that he ought to have won the Derby. _ M.D., it is well known, belongs to Mr. Howard, who has also Arsenal in the race. Tile "practitioner" has disappointed the eognoscena by his coarse, unracing like appearance, whilst he has pleased others by the showy manner in which he settles down to his work. Mr.T. Parr is very confident in the soundness of M.D.'s pretensions, but I cannot share his "fondness." Arsenal, I expect, will run well fora mile, when he will be placed hors de combat. Of the horses in the 100 to 6 division, my fancy points to Strathnaver, Wardermarske, and Adamas. Despite the slight reaction that has commenced in favour of Blink Bonny, to the first-mentioned will the hopes of her party be confided. His running for the Dee Stakes certainly entitles him to favourable con _ sideration. Wardersmarke will go to the post in hatter condition than we have yet seen him, and with Aldcroft's assistance he will indubitably obtain a forward po,ition. Adamas, a "cast off" from John Scott's stable; has risen into notice oa account of his two races at Epsom in the spring, and compared with the achievements of Canobie and Virago at the same meeting in 1854-56, they unquestionably warrant the good opinion which has been formed of him. Still doubts are entertained whether he belongs to " a class" good enough for the Derby ; but as he has had no oppor tunity for testing his qualifications, it is only fair to accept him as a candidate for the blue ribband, certainly not inferior to many that now enjoy high popularity. Adamas will have the advantage of having been trained on the ground, and he will be ridden by a jockey (Wells) of whom it is not too much to say that he would give his ears to win with Adamas. M any people fancy that John Scott will repeat the sensation which he created with'Daniel O'Rourke, by winning with Bird-in-the-Hand. It must however, be recollected that " the Wizard" has now no Frank But ler to ride for him ; no one that can come with one of those terrific finishes and literally tam his horse first past the chair. I have no faith in the Bird. Lady Haw thorn I cannot fancy for two reasons, first because I do not like mares for the Derby, and secondly because, I believe that she is thick winded. I am at a loss to discover that "rank outsider" which it has been stated will win the Derby, unless it be Mr. Aubert's Victor, who was trained in Mr. Greville's stable. He is a very fine horse and has been backed by his owner for a considerable sum, and without further preface, therefore, I shall express my deliberate convic tion that the winner of the Derby will be eitber ANTON or ADANIAS. SKIRMISHER and SAUNTERER may occupy the next plsition. For the present I shall merely state that my " fancy" for the Oaks is in favour of Imperiense and Sneeze. Tuesday Morning. A FRESH MAN. TATTERS ALL'S—MoNpAy. The last muster of turfites in London" befOrethe Derby day took place this afternoon. The subscription-room was crowded, and the yard was thronged with people from all parts of the country. The betting was well calculated to sustain the interest and curiosity excited by the approach ing race, for it underwent several significant changes. Anton superseded Skirmisher as first favourite. Early in the afternoon as little as 6 to 1 was taken about him ; at 13 to 2 the investments on him were in the aggregate about 2,0001. Offers were made to back him for 1,000 against anything. Skirmisher was not supported ;he was no minally at 13 to 2, the highest offer on the field at the close. 7 and 8 to 1 were betted against Tournament. A renewed demonstration was made in favour of Saunterer by his owner. 10 to 1 was taken to upwards of 7001, and the last bet booked about him was 900 to 100. Both Sprig of Shillelagh and Magnifier, who is likely to be scratched, were friendless. M.D. was backed for 300/. or 4001. at 13 to 1, and 14 to 1 " hedging money " was laid to 3001. The odds quoted against Bird-in-the-Hand were taken to 1001. Blink Bonny was in some request for both Derby and Oaks. The outlays on the other animals were too unimportant to require notico.

The LORD CHANCELLOR resisted this as un-. wise. After some further discussion, the house divided Contents Nun-contents Majority against amendment —B9 The Earl of CARNARVON asked whether, after the dissolution of a marriage on the ground of incestuous adultery with a wife's sister, the husband would be at liberty to marry the sistfr The LORD CHANCELLOR apprehended that th,e husband could not marry. Upon this the c!suse was agreed to. Lord MALMESBURY moved a clause to prevent persons who had been divorced marrying again. He would disqualify ail who bad been divorced. After some conversation and discussion, the clauses up to 42 were agreed to, At clause 43, Tne Bishop of OXFORD took up the question again, and renewed his opposition to the principle of the bill. The scriptural argument, he said, had not been met. He regarded that hi 1 as an excuse by which bigamists might escape punishment. If they were to poll the country the homes of Eegland would answer with one vo i ce. The bishop then called upon them to protect the poor, the weak, and the innccsnt. After some c.myersation, Lord' DERBY said there were three questions before the house —one, whether both divorced parties should marry again ; the second, that neither should marry again ; the third, proposed by the Archbishop of Can terbury, that only the injured party atiould marry again. If the last could be amended so that only the petitioning party should marry again he would support it. The Archbishop of CANTERBURY acquiesced. The house, after further desultory discussion, decided on this amendment. For the clause Against it Majority against the clause —6 The question was then put as to whether the clause as amended should steed part of the Bill. The Bishop of OXFORD thought that, though the bill was improved by toe additional words introduced by the most rev, prelate, yet it still went too far. He moved the total omission of the clause. Lord CAMPBELL moved that the chairman report progress, and that the house resume. The LORD CHANCELLOR hoped that this would, settle the question at. once. Lord LYNDHURST rose to move an amendment to the clause; but he was reminded that,,it was not then the time. Earl GREY thought it was not consistent with their dignity to proceed any further to-night, and should sup port the motion for adjournment. Earl GRANVILLE said that after the noble lord (Lord Lyndhurst) had borne the fatigue of sitting there so long to state his views, the house ought to have the patience to her him. Lord LYNDHURST proposed to amend the clause by striking out all that related to criminal conversation. The biil provided that no action should be sustained for criminal conversation till after a divorce. The effect of this would he that ail those who from religious scruples refused to sue for a divorce would be precluded from an action for criminal conversation. This was the case with Roman Catholics and other religionists. Again, he would have the action for damages made as cheap as possible, but by the clause no man could bring an action without the previous expense of a divorce. In fact, he objected to the clause altogether. His noble and learned friend Lord St. Leonards), who was not the mover, proposed amendments which he had not moved. He (Lord Lynd hurst) could not take up those amendments. All he could do would be to move the omission of the words relating to actions for criminal conversations. Lord WENSLEYDALE said this was a most impor taut quesion, on which he bad much to say. He should support the motion that the house do now resume. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that they would look as if they were not ready to go on with their work at so very late an hour. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said that the house ought nut to resume till the noble and learned hird's (Lord Lyndhurst) statement had been answered. He had raised a very grave question, and the house ought not to resume without some answer. The great objection to these actions for damages had hitherto been the form in which these actions had been brought. It was a sub jt ct which demanded much consideration, as to whether they should abolish a pecuniary remedy for what was very often a pecuniary damage. He wanted to know the view of the Government on this subject. Lord CAMPELL again urged the adjournment of the house. Even in the House of Commons it was not the custom to sit so many hours in committee even upon im portant subjects. The adjournment was, after some slight further hesita tion, then agreed to, at one o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the Chair at 4 o'clock. The Princes of Oude, accompanied by the Nawab of Surat, occupied seats in the Speaker's gallery. The gorgeousness of their Eastern costume, and their swarthy countenances, were the objects of universal attraction. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Chester Water bill was read a third time. The folio wing bills were considered, and ordered to be read a third time :—Dublin and Wicklow Railway ; Dumbarton Water, he. ; Great Western and Brentford Railway ; and Islington Parish Bills. PETITIONS. Various petitions were presented against the Civil Service Superannuation Act, against the Paper Duties, and from the King of Oude against the conduct of the East India Company. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. Oa the motion of Sir G. GREY, the motion that the house at its rising do adjourn till Thursday was agreed SAVINGS BANK BILL. In answer to a question, The CHANCELLOR 'of the EXCHEQUER said that he intended to bring on his Savings Banks bill ou Friday next. THE COMMITTEES. Mr. FITZROY moved that all committees might be allowed to sit during the adjqurnment of the house. He made the motion from the great pressure of business. After a few remarks from Colonel Wilson, Colonel French, and Sir J. Graham, Sir G. GREY said that this motion was not intended to compel commissioners to sit on Wednesday, but only to give permission according to their discretion to sit on Wednesday. The motion was agreed to. GRAND JURIES. _ _ . Sir F, THESIGER gave notice that on the eth o Jane he should ask for leave to introduce a bill for dispensing with grand juries at the Central Criminal Court, and at the general and quarter sessions within the metropolitan districts. EDUCATION. Sir J. PAKINGTON gave notice that early after Whitsuntide he should bring before the house the pre sent state of education in England and Wales, and that he should found certain resolutions thereon. LEGAL EDUCATION. Mr. WARREN asked the Attorney-General whether. her Majesty's Government had any intention, during the present session, to intro , luce a measure founded on the report of the commission issued to inquire into the sub ject of legal education ? The AT lORNEY-GENEaAL after referring to the issue of a commission two years since, on the subject of legal education, said he regretted to find there was a di vision amongst the various Inns of Court relative to the commission report, and that therefore no biil would be introduced this session. Probably a bill would be in troduced nfxt session. SURGEONS OF MILITIA REGIMENTS. Colonel GREVILLE asked the Under Secretary for War whether it was the intention of the Government to issue pay to the surgeons of militia regiments who had been called upon by the War Department to reside at the headquarters of the pet manent staff, fo r the purpose of taking medical charge of the officers, non-commie aioned officers, and the i r families ; and, if so, at what rate Sir J. RAMSDEN said that pay w as issued to the surgeons of militia regiments residing at the head-quar ters of the regiments, at the rate as fixed in the militia regulations of IU4. CUSTOMS DUTIES. Mr. W. EWART said it appeared from a return made to this house on tho 20th Jan. last that there were in the table of customs duties 60 articles producin to the reven ue not more than 2001. yearly each e• , seartieles producing not more than 1001., 36 producing not more t h a n 201., and 13 prod ucin g only Si. or lea than 51. yearly, each. Be asked the Chancellor of the E xc h e quer, whether it was the intention of the Govern ment to consider the expediency of abolishing any of these duties, in tie interests of commerce, and for fur ther simplifying the Tariff of Customs duties ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that in the main there would be no objection to the in troduction of a bill for the abolition of the dues re ferred to. BRITISH GUIANA. Mr. CHEETHAM asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies if h e h a d rece i ve d any commu nication from British Guiana, complaining of the difficulties which at present existed in obtaining an adequate supply of immigrant labourers for that colony; and, if it leas the intention of her Majesty's Government to take any steps with reference tofthe same 1 Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the Government would do everything to increase the supply of labour in these colonies. THE MEDJIDIE ORDER. Mr. LAURIE asked the Under Secretary for War, when the remainder of the Order of the Medjidie would be distributed to the army ? Sir J. RAMSDEN said that be hoped this order would be ready for distribution within a few days. H e could not mention the exact day. IMPROVE MENTS IN HYDE PARK. Mr. LAURIE asked the First Commissioner of Works, whether he meant to include in the new lodge he was about to erect at the Marble Arch, the public conveniences ; or whether he had selected a more se questered spot in the interior of Hyde -park t (Laughter.) Sir B. HALL said he had once already ans wered this question by letter. He intended to erect a lodge on the west side of the Marble.arcb, and to appropriate the basement to the purposes mentioned, to put a stop, if possible,- to the disgusting scenes often witnessed in the park. DIVORCE, &c., CLERGY DISCIPLINE (IRE LAND). Sir J. PMUNGTON asked the Attorney-General, whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Govern. went to introduce in the present session, bilis for Ire. ~t .~_ _~ all 101 2 1100 1100 2s l d 10s FOR lION. 100 201 401 66; 97 74 i 6 , 4 4 92 li 2ii 9i 1001
