The Earl of SLIAFTESBURY presented a petition from the working men of Cierkenwell, prayirg for mea sures in aid of emigration. Visconut DUNGANNON gave notice that on Thurs day next he should ask of the 1, - )rd President of the Council whether the Home-office had made any rarang , .- inents for the examination of persons who might be ap pointed to the office of cialef constable. C HINA. The Earl of DERBY gave notice that when the papers relative to China were laid upon the table of the house, he should make a substantive motion thereon. Of course, until the papers were produced, he could not slate the nature of such motion. THE BANK CHARTER. The Noble EARL also expressed his regret at hear ing that the Government intended proposing a mea sure for the renewal of the Bank Charter. He supposed it was not intended to move the appointment of a com mittee of that house to inquire into the subject, nor was he disposed to ask them to do so. In the years 1843-9 a committee sat upon the subject of the commercial dis tress that then existed, and made a va!uab!e report, which was still in the possession of the house. If it was not the intention of her Majesty's Government to appoint a committee of that house previous to the consideration of the renewal of the bank charter, he wished to know whether there would be any ()Ejection to printing a li mited numbernf copies cf that report for the use of their lordships. Earl GRANVILLE said there would not be the slightest oljectiin to reprinting the report to which the noble earl alluded. ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE asked the inten tions of her Majesty's Government respecting the En cumbered Estates Court in Ireland ; and also 'moved for a return of the number of abstracts of title in the office of the late Chief Commissioner of the said court not investigated at the time of the retirement from that office of the learned baron ; and of the number of cases in which estates had been sold but the proceeds of the sale not distributed at the same date ; also, fur a copy of a late communication from the com missioners to her Majesty's Government upon the state of basineso in their court. The LORD CLIANCELLOR raid the vacancy caused by the appointment cf Baron Richards t o a euperior office would no - doubt be filed up. It was at first thought that two commissioners would be sufficient for the business of the court, but that being found not to be the case a new commissioner would be imme diately appointed. He had already expressed his opinion that the Encumbered Estates Court ought to be a per manent establishment. A commission, consisting partly of English and Irish members, had been appointed to inquire into the subject, who recommended that the Court should be connected in some way with that unpopular court the Court of Cilancery. Al he could say on the present occasion was that Government would give their ser:cus attention to the subject, with a view to apply a remedy to the evils of which the noble marquis com plained. The returns were then ordered. RIGHTS OF MARRIED WOMEN. Lord BROUGHAM rose to call the attention of the house to the rights of property of ►carried women. The noble lord commenced by referring to the anomalous state of the present law, by which the whole of the earn ings of women who had di-tinguished themselves in the arts might be swept away by a dissolute husband. He knew of a case where a wife, who had been deserted by her husband, commenced business as a shoemaker, and succeeded to such an extent that it came to the knowledge of her husband, who left for a time the paramour with whom he was living, returned to his wife, and not only sold the stock up, but collected the whole of her debts, then again returued to his mistress, and his l►wtul wife was left to starve. The noble and learned I)rd Olen detailed a mashes: of similar instances to show the unjustifiableness of the law as it at present stood. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. The Hon. S. WORTLEY, ker Majesty's Solicitor Ge neral, took the oaths and bil_seas on his re-tlection for Buteshire. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following private bills were read a second time : —Bridtol, South %Vales, and Ssnithalipton Union Rail. way ; Nene Valley Drainage and Navigation Improve ment ; Tilbury, Ma.(dol), and Colelleßter Rail ay ; Type Itnprovebnent ; and Pulteney Town harbour. INCOIIE TAX. Mr. PIGOTT presented a petition from Reading against the continuance of the income tax. Various petitions were presented from other places to the same effect. PERCUSSION CAPS FOR THE ARIIY. Lord BURGIILEY asked the Under Se.cre'ary of State for War whether it was the intention cf her Ma jesty's Government to adopt for the army, instea I of the present regulation copper caps, Eley's elastic waterproof percussion caps! Mr. F. PEEL sail that description of caps had been ordered, but machinery had to be purposely got up or ARCTIC MEDAL. Mr. VERNON asked the First Lord of the Adrni ral:y, whether the design of the arctic medal had been decided upon ; how soon the medal woul l probably be issued ; and, whether it was to be conferred upon any foreign as wrll as British officers aad men who have Leen engaged in Arctic Discovery Service. Sir C. WOOD said that the Gazette of this day fort night gave every information respecting it, and how the medal %as to be distributed. Ile read the notification from the Gazette. The medal wool I be ready for deli very about the end of the month. SAVINGS BANK BILL. In answer to a question from Sir H. WILLOUGEIBT, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that he proposed ,to introduce his Savings !link Bill on Tuesday next. G R FK LOAN. Mr. JAS. M`GRE ;01i, aqked the Fir.•t Lord of the Treasury if : ny and what sts )9 bad been taken by the Government to ascertain the present revenues of Greece, bow they we: e disposed of, ala the probability of their being adequ•*' e to relieve the Consolidated Fund of the 47,000/. whic h was paid amually for the interest and sinking 11 nd of the Greek loan guaranteed by this country under the act 2 and 3 Will. 4, o. 121, and 6 and 7 W:11. 4, c. 94, or any pa t thereof Lord PALIVERSTON said m tch commun:caion had passed between the various Go iernments referrel to, and the result vas that a commis ;ion was t) be formed of the three pr.( testing Powers a', Athens, who were to investigate into the financial affai 's of Greece, and report thereon. CAI HEDRAL CH IPTERS._ Mr. S. HERlElii;sied the Fast Lord of the Trea llllry whether it be the intention of the Government to brin g i n any bill c ur i ng the present iession to regulate Ca thedral Chapters ; and whether it be intended to rene w t the Act 16 and 17ca- Vic c. 35, by which a 1 appointments pitular offices were made subject for t NO years to the pro visions of any meature which might be passed, foun d e d on the Repo rt, of the Cathedral CJoimission of 1852. And whethe r any st ipulation has b3en made with the canons lately app( inted, that they should hold their canonries subject to the provisions of future legislation. Lord PALMERSTON. said that the Government had no no i ntentio n tentio of p ro posing such a bi 1 a t p resen t, an d th a t n had been mad e with the canons lately ap pointed relative to their tenure of office. THE NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. OTWAY asked the First Lord of the Treasury, whether it was the case that Mr. Ford, one of the Royl.l Commissioners appointed to determine the site of the National Gallery, had resigned his appointment, and, if so, whether it was the intention o f h er Majesty's Govern ment to recommend any other gentleman fur the vacant office. The CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, said it was true Mr . Ford had resigned his office, and that ther e was no intention on the p art of the G overnment to ti ll it up. SUPPLY. - On the motion that the Speaker leave the chair, Mr. LA YARD called attention to our relations with Persia, and gave as his reason for the notice he had given the extraordinary character of the proceedings of the Government that of commencing and conclud ing war without consulting th e house, and also that he disapprovesof our C en t ra l Asia policy. lle asked tho noble lord seriously if a debate on Persian aff..irs would interfere with the negotiations for peace, because, if so, he must content himselt with protesting against the course that had been pur sue d ence to Persia. by the Government with refer Lord PALMERSTON said i t was impossit la to say what would be the res u l t of a thing that bad no t happened. At present he thought ittbe Government have a were in negotiation a debate mightvery injuri ous effect. It was the desire of the Government to conclude a peace that should be d ura b le and advanta geous to both countries. Mr. BAILLIE asked:the Government to lay on the table of the house the ultimatum sent to Persia before declaring war. This Government said it was in conse quence of the Persians attacking Herat, whilst the Per isnsrepudiated that such was the case. Lori PALMERSTO.N mid it would be impossible for bin to comply with the request, because it Trou'd be detrimental to the negotiations of peace. Mr. ROEBUCK said, the boasted supervision of this bou-e appeared to he at an end by the c ,, urke ad pted by the Goverorne-t The house kcew n that they ought not know airyiminz. put a ques . i , n on a subject before any inis'zilief happened they were told by the Govern ment that they were too soon. When the thing was going on, that they wera meddling at a wrong time, and when it was over that they were too late. When, he asked, where they to put a question ? Lord. J. RUSSELL thought the course that had been adopted by the Government with reference to the Persian war, very unusual. Under the circum stances, however, he thought it was not desirable to discuss the question, now that negotiations for peace were pending, and the Government were acting right in withholding the papers. The result of the negotiations must soon be known. They bad been discussed at Constantinople, and the principles were well known to the respective governments. Mr. GLADSTONE admitted the force of the remarks cf Lord J. Russell, and the desire of Mr. Layard not to embarrass the Government, but there were questions connected with the subject anterior to the war, that of the Government going to war with a foreign power— (hear, bear)--without the knowledge and con sent of Parliament, that might be discussed without in juring the negotiations for peace. The house could not to precluded by anything said or dune that night from entering into the cause of the war, but it was desirable to abstain from discussing questions affecting the nego tiations for peace. Mr. DISREA.LI said that whilst the }muse could not withhold its forbearance relative to these negotiations, yet the bod=e ought to view with jeal rusy the course pur sued, becaug.e they might find that the war with Persia might continue during these negotiations, and the Go vernment make it a reason for preventing their con duct from being canvassed by the house. Ho asked for the production of the papers with reference to the Two Sicilies. After some remarks from Mr. M. GIBSON, The subject dropped, and the house went into com mittee. THE BUDGET. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, com menced his statement by remarking that he had acceded to the request of the house out of the usual course, and he begged to remind them that this was the earliest day on which it could be done, end no committee of ways and means had sat. The committee must be satisfied there had been no reluctance on his part to lay before the house the annual financial statement. (Hear, hear.) In ordinary times it was necessary that the army and navy estimates should have precedence, but on unusual cases, such as this, a contrary course should be adopted. It was the course of Government to stale the re quired expenditure :for the year, and how it should be met, and there were certain expenses that might be post poned from oneyear to another, and others that required, more or less, on which a reasonable discretion might be had. That time bad now arrived when they had returned to a restricted expenditure, and it was but necessary the house should wish to know the state of the finances of the country. After alluding to the remarks of Sir J. Rarnsden, in moving the ad dress relLtive to the Chancellor of the Exchequer's posi tion with his budget, said it was a far more agree able ta for him to perform this year than in correspond kg years, when he had to ask f r the imposition of addi tional taxes and loans with which to meet the t xpenditure of the country. He cail-d the attention of the committee to the expenditure and revenue, from sth April, 1850, and ending sth April, 1857, not . merely fertile purpose of comparison and information, but to remove missappre hension relative b the taxation and expenditure of that year. In the statement he made last session, after Easter, he estimated the revenue of the current year at 71,740,0001., and estimated receipt was somewhat above it, 71,885,000/. The article that bad proved less than the estitnatewas in the customs. He estimated it at 23,850,000/. and the probable result would be 23,800,000/., the defi c'enc'es being on the short stock of sugar and on teas. The expenditure, including the loan to Sardinia of one million, was estimated at 82,113,000/., givinga deficiency of 10,373,0001., including a margin of two millions. Deducting that from the deficiency on the esti mated c xpenditure included in the votes of the house, left a deficiency of 8,373,000/. To cover that deficiency the Government was empowered to effect certain loans, and 1,499,000/. was raised, being part of a loan for five millionyffected after Easter last, and there bad been an issue of one million of Exchequer bills, making a total of 7,499,000/. borrowed money. The house bad also given the Government power to borrow four millions, but they had only borrowed one million, and intended to surrender the remainder of the ex •rcise of those powers. (Hear, hear.) The total receipts from revenue, loans, and exAequer bills, had been 79, 334, 001/., and theactual ex?enditure, including the payment of a loan to S minis, would probably amount to 78 millions, leav ing a balance of 1,384,000/. (Hear, hear.) It bad been said that they were now keeping up war taxes in a time of peace, but it was not so; and although the country was not actually at war, they .bad to meet extraordinary charges consequent on the war, and in addition to those extraordinary payments there bad been one million paid of the second instalment to Sardinia, and there had been paid for the redemption of an hereditary pension to the extent of 91,000/. In ad dition to these extraordinary payments, the war 'tax on malt had been reduced to the extent of 220,0001, and there had been pail for last year's drawback 800.0001., making the 1 ,53 on that article of upwards of a milbon, so that it was not right t o say that no reduc tion of taxation had taleen place since the conclusion of peace. To show the ela=ticily of the resources of this country on the removal of the pressure of war, he quoted the amount of British export,. In 1856 they exceeded all that of previous years, having reached 116 millions, being an increase of twenty millions; or 20 per cent. on the exports of 1855, and of 1,695,700/. or 17 per cent. over those of 1853, the year immediately preceding the war. The British and Irish exports were in 1853 cf the value of 98,330,000/., which in 1355 fell to 95,683,000/., wbilet they roee last year to 115,890,0001. In manufactures, he found that in textile articles the c re pors in 1853 were of the value of .52,990,000/. 1 in 1855 they were 51,123,0001.; whilst in 1856 they rose to 59,915,0001. Ia metal fabrics of all kinds the exports in 1353 i were 19,503,0001., and in 1355 they fell to 17,892,000/., whilst they rose in 1850 to 23,509,000/. The imports of raw cotton in 1853 were 740,709,000 lbs. ; in 1855, 767,806,000 lbs. ; and in 1856, 877,814,000 lbs., showing that they had doubled since 1849 ; and if they co.npared it with the first year of peace after 1815, they found that they now commenced the first year of peace with exports three times greater than the exports wer e in 1816. The right honourable gentleman then referred to the imp rrte of grain, which were much larger than in 1855, whop Russia felt a loss ire that trade of more than half of the trade with her in 1854. The trade was suspended in 1855, but in 1856 it increased in exports to 1,208,000 quar ters. The entrance and clearances of shipping showed a considerable increase in 1856 over that of all preceding years, and, as compared with 1855, showed an increase of 1,760,000 toes, or 19 per cent., and 1,906,000 tons in comparison with the year 1853. To comfort those who thought that the shipping trade was to be ruined by the repeal of the navigation lass, be would state the total tonnage. In 1353 it amounted to 15,380,000 tans, but in 1855 it fell to 15,367,000 tons, which, however, rose last year to 17,974,000 tons. At the conclu sion of the war 200,000 tons of shipping were relieved, and it was gratifying to find that that amount of ship ping bad gone back to the ordinary trade of the country without any perceptible injury resulting. The number of emigrants that left thepountry in 1852, amounted to 368,764, whilst during thelastyear they only amounted to 176,551, which he thoeght spoke well of the trade and prosperity of the country. Th e three years' expenditure of the country during the war, including the loan to Sardinia, was 228,731,000/ , and for the same period of peace it was 152,323,0001., so that if they deducted the three years of peace from the three years of war they would arrive at a close approxi mation of the expenses of the war—viz., 76,398,000/. The net revenue for the three years of the war was 1 92,685,000/., including borrowed money, and if they de lucted from it the expenditure of three years' peace, there would remain a surplus revenue applicable 'to war expenditure of 40,362,000/. The addition to the funded and unfunded debt was 41,041,0001, and the surplus of war tex etion was 40,362,000/. We left a million in the Exchequer. He calculated the esti mate for the current yearns follows :—lnterest of funded o nd a e o d i d d a e t b e t d , 2 1.11 8, u 5 d 5 , 0 1 ,0 , 0 70 01 7 . , 0 ; 0 7 0 17 'permanent nt the echarg army,e a o n n d nfu th u een including 400,000/. for the militia, 11 6 9 5 000/ • for the navy, includi ng the co astguard,B,lo9, - 000/.; for ; the preventive servi ce , 965,000/ ;ocivil service, 725,000/. ; rooufgh th t e into ß the Revenue c )11ec:ion of the revenue n budget 4,215,000/., superannuation brought department 475,000/., and h e proposed to tavkenuae vote towards the Persian war up to April next. The total of the supply charges would be 32,904,000/, which, added to the charge of the debt and unfunded debt, would make 632,240,0001., indepe n d ent of the repayment of the debt. (Hear, hear, hear.) After referring to the loan of two millions of Exchequer Bondsof 1854, payable in 1856, and a further sum of 280,000/., he said that the total outlay to be provided for was estimated at 051,710,0001., including 5'71101.0n for the collection of the revenue riot charged in the former year. The rigt , t honourable gentleman then entered into the army and n,vy estimates that have alrew'y been published, hereas there would be a reduction of 7 millions, and cou.pared them with those of former years, pointing out the increase and decrease in the varie,us items, and s'aowing the alterations and additions it was intended to make in these departments. He next ad verted to the civil service, and remarked that in connection with that department he should have to ask for a vote of 80,0001. for new offices. He said that the [Exchequer appeared to begin a sound state, and remarked that the there was not that danger to; the Exchequer now from jobbing there was in former times, but that ;the ;danger came from tho desire of philan thropic gentlemen.

The Army Estimates for the year 1857-58 have followed closely on those for the navy. The sum total required to be voted for the service of the ensuing financial year (1857-58) amounts to 11,225,5331., of which 8,993,6581. goes for the effective, and 2,231,875/. for the non-effective. The difference or reduction of the estimates, as compared with last year (1856-57), amounts to no less than 9,023,551/., of which 9,015,2021. is under the " effective " branch of the service. The original estimate for 1856-57 amounted to the enormous sum of 34,998,5041., although this was reduced to 20,249,084/. on a revision (peace having been de clared early in the year) ; and accordingly the full extent of the reduction, if we compare the esti mates for the ensuing year with the original ones of last, will be 2 3,772,9711, or the difference be tween 34,998,5041. and 11,225,5331. The actual reduction, we have said, amounts to 9,023,5511., or the difference between 11,225,5331. and 20,249,084/.

The total collateral decrease is 70,1621., viz., 4,006/. for pay of general officers, 30,042/. for widows' pen sions, &c., 35,695/. for pensions, &c., to wounded officers ' 155/. for in-pensions, and 264 /. for super annuation allowances. lhe actual grants for this year's service include 4,400,9821. for land forces (pay and allowances), and 553,0551. for miscellaneous charges under this head ; 7,1231. for volunteer corps ; 185,6041. for the departments of the Secretary of State for War and the General Commanding-in-Chief; 376,2381. for manufacturing establishment -I, storekeepers, bar ra,..k. masters, Lt7c. ; 332,868/. for artificers and labourers' wages ; 418,570/. for clothing and necessaries; 955,900/. for provisions, forage, fuel, light, furniture, and bedding ; 596,1911. for warlike stores for sea and Land ser vice ; 245,9301. for fortifications ; 693,4531. for civil buildings and barracks ; and 227;7441. for the educational and scientific branches.

Attempts have again Leen made to raise the Brazilian mail steamer Tyne, which stranded on the coast of Dorsetshire. Two steam tugs have been at the spot for some days to render assistance, and a steam-pump was sent down on Wednesday. This pump has been found to answer well. A government steam tug was sent down yesterday. Captain Russell, an officer experienced in raising ships, has been engaged. His plan is to build something like a rough shell of a s hip i ns ide the stranded one, and then the water, rushing in and pressing upwards against the s h e ll, lifts the strand ed ship. This plan, however, his not been approv ed of at present by the owners of the Tyne. There is still an opinion that the vessel only leaks at her ste-n. An effectual bulkhead has now been erected inside the Tyne; that is, a clay wall has been built up which separates the leaky part of the ship from the other part ; she can now be pumped out, and as she went ashore when the tide was low she wiir, when the water is out of her, float at high tide. The reason, it is believed, why the experiment of lifting her, which was tried a few w, eks ago, did not succeed, was, that the clay which was used, not being fit for the purpose, was partly washed away, so that the bulkhead which it formed was not witert . ght. A different kind of clay has been used for the present bulkhead, which it is thought will prevent leakage ; and the steam pump employed being more effectual than the hand pumps which were formerly used, the Tyne will most probably be easily pumped dry. Everything was expected to be ready for floating the Tyne at high water last night, which would happen at ritout ten o'clock, and at that ti me the gr ade. The steam tugs that and experiment of getting the ship off would be m , are there will ass i st i n d ragg ing her into deep water as so on as s h e i s lif te d. To e success of the experiment will depend entirely upon the bulkhead keeping wa t ert i ght and upon the ship not leaking from the b u lkh ead forward. A correspondent writes to a Bristol paper to complain of " a vanity which is almost profane." " he says, "a Book of Common Prayer in a stationer's shop in Bristol a few days ago, I Faw some prayer-books having a looking -glass inserted in the inner side of the cover—l have no doubt tbat the fair owner might be able to arrange her hair and admire herself during the orvice." M ADAM TIISSAUD'S EXIIIBITION.—A portrait of Marley, the murderer of the unfortunate young man Cope, has been completed and placed in this exhibition. The likeness of the convict is considered most excellent. Many interesting subjects are in progress, we under stand, of a highly interesting character, to make this ex hibition worthy of the continued patronage bestowed by he public. COMMOTION IN THE SPIRIT TRADE.—The large orders taken by the Scotch houses, which they have hitherto had under their complete command by ruling de Lon don market, and th e new and enormous manu f ac turing powers forthcomi ng - at the end of this month from the West Ham Distill ery, have tbrawn the s i x grea t mono polising houses of th e distilling trade into an unex pected flurry.

Yesterday menthe: the Duke of Cambridge inspected the men row in garriso❑ at Colchester. He was accom panied by Major-General Sir G. A. Wetherell, K.C.8., Adjutant General, and C..lonel Tyrwhitt., one of the aides-de-camp to his Royal Highness. They were met by Lieutenant-General Gascoigne, c - )menander of the district, and a brilliant staff. Upon his arrival at the camp his Royal Highness found the 12 depots, com prising three battalions, under the command of Colonel Street, as senior officer, drawn up in heavy marching order. There were is the aggregate about 2,500 men, who received the Commander-in-Chief with a Royal Belot., the bands playing the National Anthem. The men then went through the exercises of a general parade, the limited size of the parade-ground prevent ing any complicated evolutions, and, the troops having been dismissed to their quarters, his Royal Highness afterwards proceeded to the inspection of the camp. The school, both for infants and boys and girls, were the first objects of his Royal Highness's attention—one class of boys being questioned in arith metic by the Commander-in-Chief, who expressed his pleasure at the efficiency which they displayed in this particular branch of their studies. The schoolroom for instruction in musketry, the married and single men's huts, the serjeants' mesaroom and kitchen, the new military prison, and cookhouses and washhouses, were inspected, and, his Royal Highness having conversed with Lieutenant-Colonel Armstrong, Colonel Street, and Colonel Whitmore, the officers in command of the seve ral battalions, left the camp to inspect the farm, situated about two miles from the camp, recently purchased by Government for the purpose of musketry practice. His Royal Highness returned to London by the 2 p.m. train. Lieutenant-General Sir Charles W. Pasley, K.C.8., R E., paid a visit to Chatham garrison on Wednesday for the purpose of inspec.ing the pontoons which were brought home from Kertch by the troops of the Turkish Engineer Corps, and deposited with the other stores on the Gun wharf, under the direction of Captain G. Allan. The pontoons, which are of the same descrip tion as those invented by Major-General Blanchard, and now used in the corps of Royal Engineers, are 64 in number, and occupy a considerable space. On being landed they were placed on the pontoon-waggons, where they have since remained, but as soon as accommoda tion can be provided for them at Brompton Barracks they will be removed to that establishment, to be used by the men of the Royal Engineers in their pontooning experiments. General Pasl.-y made a careful inspection of the whole of the pontoons, which appear to be in good condition and fit for use, During his visit to Chatham Sir C. Pasley also inspected a newly-invented iron gabion, which has received the approval of General SirJ. Burgoyne, Inspectur-General of Fortifications, and other engineer officers. The reduction in the army is still beir g carried on at Chatham, and yesterday morning 58 non-commissioned officers and men received their discharge. Sporting Intelligence. TA.TTERSA.LL'S -THURSDAY.
