IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords Amendments to the Oldham, Ashton-under- Lyne, and Guide Bridge Junction Railway Bill were Considered and a THE GAME LAWS. Mr. COLVILLE moved for returns of the number of persons confined in each gaol in England and Wales for offences against the Game Laws during the year ending the 31st day of December, 1856, stating the period for which each prisoner was ordered to be confined, the nature of the offence committed, and by what tribunal sentenced; and of the number of persons who completed the term of their imprisonment during the year ending the 31st day of December, 1856, for any offence against the Game Laws ; the term for which they were so im prisoned, and the total cost incurred for the maintenance in gaol of such persons. Agreed to.

In all cases the advances of the Ex chequer Loan Company had been disastrous to the un dertakings that had applied for their assistance. Mr. A. SMITH said he objected to the second read ing last night (Tuesday) in order that explanation might be given by the Government relative to the application. The construction of the pier in Dun bar Harbour cost 14,0001., and he wished to know where the money came from. He was inclined to believe that it would be found it came out of the public funds. The Scotch Fisheries Commissioners had reported on the state of the harbour, and stated that it would require 6,000/. to repair the injury it had sustained by the sea. He denied that Dunbar Harbour was of the importance that had been stated. He asked for an explanation why the bill was introduced as a public and not a private bill, at so late a period of the session, and why 20,0001. was to be guaranteed, when 6,0001. had been reported sufficient for the repairs, and the trustees had the means of raising that sum. The arrangements connected with the embarka tion of the large force of Royal Marines for China. to relieve the 23d Welsh Fusiliers, 82d Regiment, 90th Light Infantry, and 93d Highlanders, or dered. to India, are completed, and the two katta lions are expected to embark at Woolwich and Ply mouth on Saturday. It has been decided that the men shall be equipped. with the Enfield rifle. The Chatham division will furnish nearly 400 officers and. men, the whole of whom have been inspected by Col. S. R. Wesley, Deputy-Adjutant-General, who expressed to Col. E. Parker, the Command ant, his entire satisfaction with the appearance of the men. As soon as the battalions have embarked for China, the battalions of Marines now stationed at Deal, under the command of Lieut.-Col. J. H. Gascoigne, will be broken up, and the officers and men transferred to the Chatham division. Mr. WILSON said that nothing was more dangerous than the endeavour to cause the Exchequer Loan Com missioners to vary their determination relative to the advance of money. The bill was required to get rid of a technical difficulty, and did not deprive the Exchequer Loan Commissioners of any powers under their act of in quiring into the security for the advance of the money. The trustees had power to borrow 5,0001. on the tolls, but they required 20,000/. more to effectually repair the piers, and the bill was rendered n e cessary in cense- Auence. The security had been approved of. Dunbar harbour was a harbour of refuge for fishing boats, and not for general shipping, and the piers had been erected for their accommodation and security. Unfortunately, the pier was defectively constructed, and a portion of it had been destroyed, and it was to repair it that 5,0001. were recjaired by the harbour commissioners. They had applied to Government to take the pier and the tolls into their hands, but they had declined. Mr. HENLEY said the effect of that arrangement would be to continue the tolls on the people of Dunbar against their consent. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the object of the bill was to allow the trustees cf . Dunbar Harbour to borrow of the Government instead of insurance companies. The perpetuation of the rates was not involved in the question. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY doubted the security for ' the money to be advanced, which was tolls to be levied on lobsters and herrings. He asked to be informed of the amount of debts due by the corporation, together with their gross income, cost of collection, &c. He un derstood the trust-es had already borrowed 5,0001. Mr. CARD WELL said that if there was a prior loan the effect of this loan would be to override prior mort gages. He considered the bill ought not to be pro ceeded with before the mortgagees bad received notice of the application. Sir F. BARING thought more information should be given why 20,000/. were required. Mr. WILSON explained the power of the Exchequer Loan Commissioners, which was to %end money on Par liamentary security. From information he had obtained, he believed there was no prior mortgage. He would make inquiries, and if he found it true he would with draw the bill, and be no party to such a proceeding. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the security, he was act ing on the instructions of the Exchequer Loan Commis sioners, who had investigated the matter. The sum of 20,0001. was required in consequence of the report of the Scotch Fisheries Commissioners and an eminent engineer. The bill was then read a second time. SUPPLY. In reply to a question from Mr. MALINS, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the Divorce and Ma.rtmonial Causes Bill would be pro ceeded with on Friday. HORSE ARTILLERY FOR INDIA. Col. NORTH expressed his disapprobation of the an swer given by the Under• Secretary for War relative to his question in the early part of the day. It was the duty of the Government to send out the Artillery in an efficient state, both as regarded men and equipments. Sir J. RAMSDEN said that a second requisition had been cent to the War Office from the East India Com pany for horse artillery, but he was unable to state what ❑umber the two requisitions would make up. Lord A. V. TEMPEST called on the Government to state what arrangements they had made for meeting the crisis in India. The country had a right to that information. C )1. SYKES, on the part of the East India Com pany, said that no expense would be spared to put down the outbreak. (Hear, bear.) MILITIA. ESTIMATES. In reply to a question from Mr. DISRAELI, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said be could not then state when the milit'a estimates would be taken. There would be a committee of supply on Monday, but he could not state if they would be then brought on. The house then went into committee of supply. 2,0001. was agreed to for the Board of Manufactures in Scotland ; 5,0001. for the Commissioners of High. ways, Roads, and Bridges in Scotland. On the vote of 10,0001. for bounty of slaves and slavers captured by her Majesty's cruisers, Sir F. BARING said that last year 12,0001. was voted, 2,0001. only was paid on the vote, and he wished to know what had become of the balance! Mr. WILSON said he was unable to answer the ques tion. If desired, he would furnish a detailed account. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY reminded the house that in 1855 and 1856 12,000/, was voted in each year, and now 10,0001. was asked for. He should like to know what bad been done with the money ? After some discusion, in wb.ch Sir G. ...PitcHELL and others taok part, the vote was agreed to. 1,3001. was voted for the ("penile of the commis• sioners to superintend the publication of the ancient laws, &c., of Ireland ; 9,0001. for the process servers in Ireland ; 6,5801. for the payment of pensions, &c., in connection with the merchant service ; and 1,5931. to complete the sum required for the salaries of the office of registration of joint stock corepanie3. On the vote of 4,5001. for defraying the expenses of the corn averages, Mr. STAFFORD objected to the expenditure. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that these averages were useless except with reference to regulating the price of corn. They were not to be de pended on as accurate relative to the sales effected. They were mostly used for the the tithe averages. The vote was then agreed to. 20,0001. were voted for British seamen abroad ; 3,600/. for quarantine arrangements, 11,8501. for com pleting the remuneration for revising barristers, 2,8021. for the constabulary at Aldershot, 2,0001. for the In spector of Burial Grounds in England and Wales. 6,6791. was asked for repairs, &c., at the British em bassies abroad. Mr. WISE objected to this vote, which was an in crea-ing one. He objected to the Government purchas ing residences in every capital in Europe, and keeping them up at such an enorrnou, cost. Jr would be betttr to allow ambassadors a certain sum and let them pro vide their own residences. After some discussionthe vote was agreed to. The folic/wing votes were also agreed to :-1.0531. for the salaries of certain professors at the University of Cambridge ; 13,7301. for the expenses of the Encum -1 bered Estates Court in Ireland ; 5,0001. for the expedi tion for the survey of British North America ; 19,5491 for the Niger Expedition ; 1,0001. for the salaries of the officers engaged on the Orange River Territory, Caps of Good Hope. Oa the vote of 40,0001. for public works, educational bui!dings, and other means for promoting civilisation in South Africr, Mr. LA.BOUCHERE communicated to the house a despatch he had just received from Sir G. Grey, Gover nor of the Cape of Good Hope, stating that the diffe r.:nces existing there were fast approaching an amicable adjustment, and that the colony generally was in a most perfect and amicable state and condition. After a discussion, in which Mr. C. Fortescue, Sir H. Willoughby, and other hon. members took part, Sir J. TRELAWNY considered the sum now ap plied to civilise the wild tribes of Caffraria would be better applied in the reclamation of the wild tribes of Westminster. He shoull divide the committee on the vote. The reinforcements for the 10th and 84th Regi ments, numbering 150 non-commissioned officers and men, are ordered to proceed from Chatham and embark for India on the 11th inst., tonnage having been taken up for them by the Hon. East India Company.

Sir C. Wood, Capt. Milne, and the other Lords of the Admiralty, when they visited the Royal Ma rine Barracks, at Plymouth, on Tuesday, paid spe cial attention to those portions of the force destined for China. The battalion was commanded by Col.- Commandant Dwyer, and received their lordships with a general salute. The four companies ordered for foreign service were formed under Lieut.-Cul.

The returns of circulation of the Irish and Scotch banks for the four weeks ending the 4th of July, 1857, when added together, give the following as the average weekly circulation of these banks during the past month, viz. : Average circulation of the Irish banks £6,581,343 Average circulation of the Scotch banks ... 4,101,000 Average circulation during past month —210,682,343 On comparing the above with the fixed issues of the several banks, as given in the Banking Almanac, the following appears to be the state of the circulation : The Irish banks are above their fixed issue £226,819 The Scotch banks are above their fixed issue ],01:3,791 Total above the fixed issue £1,210,616 The amounts of gold and silver held at the head offices of the several banks during the past month have been as follows : Gold and silver held by the Irish banks £2,309,104 Gold and silver held by the Scotch banks 1,731,5'.4 Total of gold and silver held £4,040,668 The above statements complete the returns of the cir culation in England, Scotland, and Ireland for the month ending the 4th of July. These returns, combined with the average circulation of the Bank of England for the same period, will give the following results of the circulation of notes in the United Kingdom, when compared with the previous month : THE SUN, LONDON, THU RSDAY EVENING AUGUST 6 1 LAW INTELLIGENCE.-Aug. 5. VICE CHANCELLORS' COURTS—Arra 5. (Before Sir Richard T. Kindersley.) IN RE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK, EX PARTE BROCKWELL. The Vice-Chancellor gave judgment in th's case, which was argued before the Court on the 18th and 23d of July, when the facts and arguments were reported. The matter came from chambei s, by adjourned summons. It was argued by Mr. Glasse and Mr. D. %V. Lewis, for the official mana ger ; and by Mr. Anderson, Mr. M. Gifford, and Turner, for Mr. Brock well. The question was one of importance to all shareholders of joint-stock companies, an .1 was of immediate interest, arising, as it did, out of the part:cular company too w.ll known by the name of the Royal British Bank. The facts were, briefly, that Mr. Brockwell, whose name was sought to be placed on the list of con tributories, had, in March, 1855, purchased three 1001. shares in the company, and had in the usual manner executed the deed. In. June following he paid his deposit of 501. per share, and received two dividends of 61. por cent. —one in December, 1855, the other in June, 1856. The bank stopped in September, 1836. His honour said that thus far, if there wera no more in the case, there could be little doubt that Mr. Brockwell was liable to have his name placed on the list. He contended, how ever, that he was not liable by reason of his b'ing induced by false representations to purchase the shares. The Court had to determine whether, un der the circumstances, that de - ence was available. His honour, in a detailed manner, answered the numerous objections which had been made to Mr. Brockwell's claim to exemption, and concluded by deciding that the name of Mr. Brockwell could not legally be placed upon the list of contributories, and allowing that gentleman, and the official mana ger, their costs. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE. HOME CIRCUIT-CROYDON, AuG. 5. (Before the Lord Chief Baron and a Common Jury. ATTENDOROUGIE V. CLARK. This was an action brought against the defend ant, as the endorser of a b;ll of exchange for 3,0001., but the actual amount sought to be re covered was only 1,5001., the plaintiff admitting that he had only advanced that sum. The defendant placed a number of pleas upon the record, but the only points relied upon as in answer to the action were, that it was understood that he was not to be sued as the endorser of the bill in question, and that the bill had been satisfied. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Petersdorff were ter the plaintiff ; Mr. E. James, Q.C., and Mr Hawkins appeared for the defendant. The only evidence adduced in the first instance for the plaintiff was the production of the bill, and proof that the endorsement upon it was in the handwiiting of the defendant. Mr. E. James then proceeded to address the jury on behalf of the defendant ; and it appeared from his statement that the plaintiff was a pawn broker and bill discounter, carrying on business in Piccadilly, and he had a good many money trans sactions with Mr. Edward Rawson Clark, the de fendant, who was a gentleman connected with the turf, and who was also a good deal engaged in bill discounting. In Nov., 1855, two gentlemen, whose names have been frequently brought before the public, the Hon. C. Lawley and Mr. John Uassey Stanley, who were on intimate terms with the de fendant, applied to him to obtain for them a loan of 3,0001., upon their bill, and Mr. Clark applied to the plaintiff, who, after some negotiation had taken place, consented to advance 1,5001., and Mr. Clark undertook to provide the other 1,50 i/, and he handed that amount to the plaintiff, who, upon receiving the bill, gave Mr. Clark a cheque for 3,0001., which was banded over to Messrs. Lawler and Stanley. This bill was at four months' date, but when it became due it was renewed for two months, the interest charged being at the rate of 30 per cent., and subsequently two cheques, each for 1,5001., one being drawn by Mr. La w l e y, the other by Mr. Stanley, were produced by the defendant, and he took one of them and gave the other to the plaintiff. Both these cheques were however, dishonoured, and very soon afterwards Messrs. Lawley and Stanley left the country, and the present action was brought to recover the 1,5001. advanced by the plaintiff from the defen dant as the indorser of the bill in question. It ap peared that after the bill bad been given Messrs. Lawley and Stanley offered to make some arrange ment lo assign three race horses belonging to them, muted Mary Copp, Festival, and Orlando, as a collateral security, but they were subsequently taken in execution by the sheriff upon a ju Igment, and were soli for nearly 4,0001. The Jury, after a very short deliberation, re turned a verdict for the plaintiff for 1,6061. 10s., the amount of the balance of the bill and interest. Mr. James applied for stay of execution to give the defendant an opportunity of taking proceed ings in equity. The Lord Chief Baron said he should not make speedy execution, but the parties must make any further applications, upon affidavits, to a judge at ch ambers. TELLIGENCE. ) OCTOBER MEETING.

The great annual regatta at Putney under this title, at which a number of valuable prizes are given, open to all the v. orld, commenced yesterday. The weather in the early part of the day was dull and uninviting, and, although it cleared up in the afternoon, the assemblage of visitors was far from being so numerous as heretofore. There was one very important race upon the card, the Champion Race for 1001., in four-oared boats, for which crews from Manchester, Newcastle, Elswick, and elsowlatre had entered. This bad, as usual, occupied the attention of rowing men of all grades for some time past, and large sums of money depended upon the result. It was decided in three heats, with an interval of time for refreshment. There were also gentlemen's gigs' and scullers' contests, making, in all, eleven races. The sport commenced at half•past 1 with THE CHAMPION FOUR•OARED RACE. FIRST HEAT. The Newcastle (white) Wandsworth (red and white) Five Friends of Manchester (blue) 0 ME NEWCASTLE CREW. 1. J. H.

The Newcastle men were backed at slight odds to win the heat, and were taken at even against the field for the first prize. Much had been said about the Manchester men, but the renowned Claspers were too much in re pute, and it was said that the Wandsworth were in very fine condition, which certainly turned out to be the case. The Manchester men had the worst station on the Surrey side, and the Caspers were in the middle. The start was taken with amazing rapidity by all, and the race throughout maintained at a great pace. The Manchester men drew a slight I.utd, and off the committees' barge, stationed a few yards beyond the Star and Garter, had the lam of their boat a coaple of feet in advance;the Newcastle men were second, and there were nearly half a length between them and the Wandsworth. At this point the Newcastle men, who were sitting firmly to their work, drew level with the Manchesters, and in the next few succeeding strokes gradually took the lead from them. The Manchester men, who took a v e ry wide course, were di rec tly afterwards outrowed by the Wandsworth men, who so vigorously applied themselves that it was thought it would have been their race; but the rowing of the Clasper,' was perfection, and they gradually stole away to a lead of nearly two lengths at the finish, amid very warm applause, whicja was richly deserved.

TION BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Sir E. PERRY asked the house to agree to the second reading of this bill, for the house to go into committee to-morrow (Thursday) pro forma to add cer tain amendments that would improve the scope of the bill. _ Sir G. GREY said that he bad had a communication with the Lord Citiof Justice relative to these amend ments which the Government had recommended, and as he considered they would materiall improve the bill, he (Sir G. Grey) thought the course proposed the best that could be adopted. The bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed tomorrow (Thursday.) ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION, tte BILL. The committee on this bill was resumed. The remain ing clauses were agreed to and several new ones added. The bill was ordered to be reported with amend men te. TROOPS FOR INDIA. • On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Colonel NORTH, in the absence of General Codring ton, asked the Under Secretary for War the reason for sending only 140 men to the East Indies as the com plement of a troop of horse artillery when the war complement of such a troop was 253 men. Sir J. RAMSDEN said that this force of artillery bad been put under orders for India in -the same way as ail troops in compliance with a requisition made to the home Government by the East India Company. That requisition specified the number to be sent. The number of each troop and company required had been s) arranged as to bring the total force within the requi• sition made by the E fist India Company ; and that was the reason why this particular number bad been de cided on. BUSINESS OF THE DAY. Mr. SPOONER objected to the house going into supply before the orders of the day were disposed of. Such a c mrse was contrary to usual practice, and de prived private members of proceeding with their bills. He moved that supply ber i postponed till after the dis posal of order No. 12 (Election Petition Bill). S;r G. GREY defended the course proposed to be adopted by the Government from the period of tke session. He, however, consented to the orders of the day being taken seriatim, and supply afterwards. GREAT YARNIOUTH ELECTION. The petition of Chail s Woollen, confined in New gate for contempt in giving his evidenco before the Great Yarmouth Election Committee, was taken into consideration. In consequence of his having expressed contrition for his conduct, it was ordered that he be discharged from custody. BURIAL ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. The bill was read a third time and passed. The summary proceedings before Justices all, the Metropolitan Police Stations, &c , Mil, and Boundaries of Burghs Extension (Scotland) Bill were further consi dered and ordered to be read a third time. ILLICIT DISTI ELATION (IRELAND) BILL. This bid was read a third time and passed, ELECTION PETITIONS BILL. On the motion for the second reading of this bill, Sir G. GREY expressed his objection to the bp. and moved that it be read a third a time this day three months. A discussion ensued, in which Mr. Spooner, Mr. Newdegate, and Mr. Henley took part. Mr. MALINS suggested that the bill should be with drawn. Mr. SPOONER, in the absence of Mr. Adderley, the promoter of the bill, said that as Parliament had affirmed the principle of the loll!, he would consent to that clurse. The bill, with amendments and improve. meats, could he re-introduced next session. The arnteolme.nt was they agreed to. LENSES AND SALES OF SETTLED ESTATES ACT AMENDMENT BILL.—ADJOURNED ' DEBATE. Mr. MA LENS moved the second reading of this bill. Lord li. GROSVENOR objected to the further pro gress of this bill, the object of which was to repeal the clenses of a❑ act passed 1...u4 session, to prevent the 1 inclosure of Hampstead-heath and restrain Sir T. M. Wilson from building thereon. The noble lord referred to the proceedings that bad taken place in and out of Parliament on this subject, and condemned the course proposed by the bon and learned member for Enniskillen, the mover of the bill,in proposing the repeal of an Act of Parliament almost before it had been tried and the effect of its provisions ascertained. He contended that the act did no if jury to Sir T. M. Wilson, and as re garded his wish to built. on waste land near Hampstead Heath, as stated in the debate of last night, no objection would be offered to it. He moved the second reading of the bill this day three months. Mr. SPOONER supported the second reading of the bill. He said that the idea of Sir T. M. Wilson's in tending to inclose Hampstead Heath had arisen from a misapprehension. The clauses in the act referred to would indict great injustice not only on Sir T. M. Wil son but other person, because the laud on which he proposed to build was copyhold property, and was not near Hampstead Heath. The heath could only be in closed by a special act of Parliament, so that theinhabit ants of the Metropolis were amply protected. Mr. BUTT, as a member of the select committee who acceeded to the introduction of the causes in the act of last session, opposed the bill, which was an attempt to unceremoniously unsettle what had been the subject of mature consideration. The claim was introduced in consequence of Parliament having on a former occasion refused Sir T. M. Wilson's application for a private bill to inclose the heath. He looked upon this measure as a public bill for the private relief of Sir T. M. Wilson, and considered that if that gentleman wanted relief he should apply to the house in a proper manner, when it would be carefully and impartially considered. - Mr. HENLEY considered that Sir T. M. Wilson's name ought not to have been introduced into tLis de bate, but that Vie bill should have been discussed on its merits. He opposed the bill on its merits. An ap plication having been made by Sir T. M. Wilson a►.d refused by Parliament, it ought not to have been re peated in this form. Mr. NAPIER supported the second reading of the bill. Sir D. NORREYS said that if it had not been fur Hampstead Heath this discussion would not hare taken p ace. The power of parliament had been brought to bear on an individual—(no, no)—to deprive him of the rights be would have been permitted to enjoy had it not been for his misfortune ie peesessing a property that the people of London coveted and wished to obtain on its own terms. (Hear, hear, and No, no). It was non rense to talk about enclosing Hampstead Heath. If parliament proposed it or attempted to sanction it the noble Ind (Lord R. Grosvenor) would be found fraternising with his Hyde Park mobs, and coming to that house in connexion with the right boa, baronet the member for Merylebone with his representative councils and Sunday bands, and the other hon. member for Middlesex healing the brewers (laughter) to intimidate the members of that House. (Renewed laughter.) After some further discussion in which S.r Wer,eoUciusY, Mr. MALINS and other hon. members took part, Mr. W. WILLIAMS said that the Metropolitan Board of Works were anxious to come to some arrange ment with Sir T. M. ‘Vileon in reference to the pur chase of Hampstead Heath, but if this bill pa,seil it would put an end to further negotiations on the su` jeot. Mr. WHITESIDE said that a more rank piece of injustice it was impossible to perpetrate than that pro posed by the rejection of the bill. He had the Attorney- General's authority for stating that he was induced to consent to the clauses being introduced in the Act of last year on the representation of the metropolitan members that they, or their constituent-•, intended to purchase the Property. He reulil give the bill his hearty support with a view to the repeal of the clauses referred to. The hon, and learned gentleman• (Mr. Whiteside) said that the lam] propos e d t o tie built upon was on the Finch! y s" r( :_ ,a?"eene distance from th e h ea th, an d that Sir T. Wia , Ono vviati to enclose Hamptead Heath. Tee bill Dal been Bo rd of W P"teoneft f Eve or six months to enable the they could nor" to purchase the heath, but the fact was et do it, and it seas useless to put thee, forth as an excur.e for rejecting the Mr. HADFIRtete pposed the bill. Sir J. GReeee k eei thee subject had been re peatedly before the house, and in his judgment, in every inetence iejnetice 'sad bee n to Sir T. M. Wild )n. That gentl-rnan was an unh a l p l, property that the people covetedY nabob , Rho possessed heath entirely available by the pui2icalle Hampstead poses, the grossest irjue:ice would be r p ur without purchasing his rights. He agreed that it lieu desiraide that Hampstead-heath should be neadetta::s Bible for the public, and it should be borne in mind 'hast.. before Sir T. M.

The house then divided. The numbers were— For the second reading... 77 Against it 5O Majority • 18 The bill was read a second lime, and ordered to be eamtnitted to-morrow (Tlanreday). DUNBAR HARBOUR.

It was no doubt desirable to make a tory of France." Sir J. GRAHAM said he should divide in favour of the vote, on the understanding that it would not be pro posed another year. It was understood the sum shoun be voted only for three years, and as it commenced in 1855 it should cease this year. After a few remarks from Lord J. MANNERS, Mr. LABOUCHERE said he could not pledge the Government to any particular course. After some further discussion, in the course of which Mr. B. Carter, Mr. D. Nicoll, and Sir J. Trelawny took part, • The committee divided. The numbcrs were— For the vote Against it Majority —l29 The vote was then agreed to. 5,580/. were votel for the removal of the descendants of the mutineers of the Bounty from Pitcairn'd Island to Norfolk Island ; and 7,5001. for the collection of agri cultural statistics in Scotland.

Oki. for conveying specio to foreign stations was agreed to. On the vote of 2,000/. towards the formation of the gallery of portraits of the most eminent persons in Bri tish hiAnry, Mr. CONINGHAM moved the rejection of the vote. A disousfsion ensued, in which the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER and Mr. SPOONER took part. Tne latter wa9 stopped at a quarter to 6 o'clock by the form of the house. Tne house resumed. NEW WRIT.

Can it be endured by sensible men that half a million of square miles of such territory as this should be claimed by a score of men—to be held by th' m to the exclusion of all the world, and that they should have the power to spread sterility and barrenness over a land - which appears to have escaped the original curse ? It may be said by these proprietors of the Hudson's Bay stock—we have no legal right by our charter . :o the possession of this land, but at all events we have the " squatter's claim." There is something too ridicu!ous for sober comment in the notion of a few scores of maurading, Indian-plundering trappers claiming to squat upon a million of square miles of territory, on which they have never raised an ear of corn, fed a sheep, fattened a pig, or built a house. But through this fine territory there exists, as we have said, an almost unbroken communication from the Rocky Mountains to Lake Superior. The Saskatchewan is navigable for boats and can-es from its source in the Rocky Mountains almost the whole distance to Lake Winnipeg. Thence by way of the Rainy Lake, the Lake of the Woods, and the navigation which connects them, access maybe lt .d to Lake Superior. From Liverpool to the Rocky Mountains there exits an almost unbroken chain of water communication—not navigable of course for largo vessels, but userul in bringing down the produce of the country, in affording facilities for auxiliary steamers, and, above all, in pointing out the great highway which nature has formed for reaching the Pacific. Westward of the Rocky Mountains flows the noble Columbia River, and its source in these regions is close by the side of the Saskatchewan, and, flowing westward, it bids the advancin g civiliation of the E as t f o ll ow i t i n i ts windings to the indented coast and noble harbours of the Pacific. Let those magnificent territories remain a few years longer in the ha n d s o f th e Hud ron's Bay Company, and they will be i rre t r i eva bl y lost to Great Britain.—Canadian News.

Second Year of the Fifth Brighton Biennial Stakes of J. RichardsOn, coxswain. The Shakspeare crew (Manchester men) were the fa vourites in this heat ; Kelly's (the Champion's crew) were considered very indifferent ; while at the same time there was a strong party behind the Hammersmith men, who, it was said, would astonish the " natives." The race was amazingly fine• Tbey all went away at the same instant, and then the Hammersmith pulled out a lead of about a foot. The Champion's crew was in the middle and astern, rad being the second heat. In the course of a few more strokes, and before they had proceeded 200 yards, red and green were dead level, and blue and white nearly half their length astern in the centre. Green now began to take a slight lead, and bine and white to overhaul red ; and as they neared the Crabtree the leads of both these boats were made appa rent and decided. The pace and style of the race was still first-rate, blue and white (the Champion's crew) again and again coming up to the quarter of green (the Hammersmith boat) the latter winning by oily half a length. FINAL HEAT The two previous heats had been rowed up from Putney-bridge to Chiswick Eyrot. The last was ro wed down : The Newcastle crew Hammersmith This was a splendid race, mnfortunat&y terminating foul. They started like lightning, and level, but when they had proceeded 200 or 300 yards the Hammersmith drew on a foot, and then gradually increased into a length, or nearly so, but bowing their opponents on to the paint below the Crabtree, caused a foul and lost the race. GENTLEMEN'S PAIR-OARED GIG RACE. (With Coxswains—not nutrigged.) Messrs. E. G. Ditton and W. Williams, with 11. Weston, coxswain (white) Messrs. W. H. Lowe and F. Lowe, with E.

Fcr some time the race looked very much like blue's who appeared to much for white, but off Finch's they becao.c nearly level, and a most animated race followed, the severity of which was felt by both parties. A;; Craven's, after another trifling lead, they were agai❑ level, and the❑ the winners drew sligl:tly in advance, and won by their heat being jest clear of their adversaries.

THE LATE FATAL FIRE IN HOLBORN.—ADJOURNED INQuE-T.--Yesterday Mr. Wakley resumed the inquiry respecting the death of William Chapple, landlord of the premises, 14, High Holb •rn, who died from injuries re• ceived at the fire which took place there on the 27th ult. Since the previous inquiry, John Rolfe, aged 16, appren tice to Mr. Maidmist, saddler, who occupied the shop and part of the house, has died from injuries received on this occasion. It will be remembered that Mr. Maidmist was not present at the former inquiry, iwben the sum mcning officer stated that he had been unable to find Mr. Maidmist. Mr. Wright, solicitor for that gentle man, now stated that he wished to make a complaint atzainst the summoning officer. On the last occasion Mr. Maidmist was not summoned, and he wished to know how this happened ? After some explanation, the coroner ex inerated the summoning officer from blame, and Mr. Maidmist was examined. On the night of the fire he slept in the back first floor, and hie mother and the apprentice in a partitioned room above. They all escaped by jumping out of the window of his room into tile yard, where they got on an outhouse. The house was filled by hot smoke, but they saw no fire till they' were on the outhouse, when they saw fl ames d ar ti n g through the roof. Mr.i H. Owens, chief clerk of the Times Assurance Office, proved that Mr. Maidmist in' sured in that office on the 21st July for 3001. ' • an d Mr. W. Blythe, clerk in th e Alli ance, a l so proved that Mr. Maidmist insured in that office for 8001. in last April. Ho had been previously insured in the Beacon for 300/. After some further evidence the coroner urged the im portance of an adjournment, in order that the premises might be officially inspected, and a model made. The jury fully acquiesced in the desirability of such a pro ceeding, and the inquiry was then further adjourned. .A COMMERCIAL UNION IN AIIISTRALIA.—It is under stood that the chief object of the Governor's visit to Beechworth, and of his proposed meeting with Sir William Denison, is the establishment of a com mercial union similar to that which bas for many years been in beneficial operation between Prussia and the minor States of Germany. In Germany, pre viously to this union, commercial affairs were in as un satisfactory a state as can well be conceived. Every petty State had its own tariff, its own custom-houses, and its own customs regulations. The consequence was that the internal trade of Germany was subjected to innu merable and vexatious restrictions, which were just so many clogs upon the wheels of industry. Upon this subject M'Culloch, in his Dictionary, well remarks, that "nothing has contributed s much,to the growth of industry and wealth in Great Britain as the p e rfect freedom of internal industry we have so long enjoyed, and that intimate correspondence among the various parts of the empire which has rendered each the best market for the products of the other." In recommending a similiar union to Australia we do not overlook the importance also of a political and federal union, but there is this grand difference between the two kinds of union, that the political union involves so many considerations,—there are so mall interests to be reconciled and so many prejudices to be overcome, that it must be a work of mall' years. On the other hand, the commercial ',Mimi, is one of comparatively easy attainment, the cow flicting interests are few, and the feeling among the mer cantile body throughout the colonies is entirely favour able. The establishMent of a commercial union would in all probability very greatly facilitate and promote the still more important object of an Australian political confederation, and with this object there could not be a more useful preliminary measure.—Melbourne Argiis) May 27.
