MO EY lAIT6 AND C MERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. __ _--~- CITY, Two o'CLocK. Accounts from Liverpool staLe that the Cotton Market yesterday closed quietly, at last week's rates. The sales were estimated at 4,000 bales, 8 , 0 0 of which were taken for export. The Railway Share 7vi arket closed with a quiet 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 maintainel. Coffee is B .,. te aclY, and tea is supported at p revious p rices. in other articles there is no variation to report. The amount of bills drawn by the Hon. East I ndia Company upon their three Presidencies of B engal, Madras, and Bombay , from the 10th to t he 25th instant, both days inclusive, was as Rates of Exchange— Amount.

Thomas Biggs and Son, when a c uraposit'on of 9s. in the pound was agreed to. It is stated, in accounts ftom Paris, that the l iabilities of M. Thurneysen, amount to between 500 ,000/. and 600,0001. There is rather more activity in the demard for discounts to-day, and fully previous rates are exacted for accommodation. During the next few days increased pressure will, no doubt, be expe lieneed, owing to the settlements at the Stock Ex change, and the preparations for the commercial bills falling due on the 4th proximo. Besides the "sorption of capital for these purposes, the ar rangements in progress for the remittances by the steamer Indus on the 4th proximo will give em ployment theYnit ent to an important amount. It is believe& quantity of silver whiOh will then be tle q 3at ebed will be very large, and there is con sequently a good demand at full prices. Bars ar e as. lid. per ounce standard, and five-franc piece 4 5. 112 d. per ounce. The Market for Public Securities is very quiet, and the movement in prices is unimportant. .0 . 1) 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 naade his usual purchase of 30,0001. Ex-hequPr Consols for transfer have been 93i and for account 931 The New Three are 92R 1, the Reduced 921 I, and the New 21 per Cents. i rli• Bank Stock is 212 to 213 k, and India Stock to 222. The March Exchequer Bills are 4s. to 6s. Premium, and the " Advertised" ditto ls. to 3s. Premium. The Bonds are 98/ to 99. Foreign Stocka are quit-t, and the quotations appear heavy, owing probably to the settlement. Turkish 6 per Ceuta. are 941 ; on these Semri ties the " coatango" is to per cent. The 4 per cents. are I.olk. ; and Portugues 3 per Cen ts. are 46 i; Venezuela 41 per Cents. are 35 ; French 3 P e r Cents., 69f. 75g. ; and Brazilian 5 per Cents., 100 .

I n the Railway Share Market this morning busi ness has been inactive, many of the dellers , b eing engaged in making the usua l arran g ements for the settlement of the lialf-monthly account. There is little change to report in prices, but one or two of the lines have exhibited a slightlydownward tendency. Eastern Counties, and LancaMbire and Yorkshire, declined 5s ; and North-Eastern (B r wick) 10s.; Norfolk improved 10s., and South-Eastttrn ss. The French mid Canadian, and East Indian lines were inactive. Northern of France improved about ss.

Bank of Australasia improved ss. ; and Ottoman liank, declined ss. In Miscellaneous Shares no change of impor tance has taken place. PRICES OF FOREIGN FUNDS—THIS DAY. (From the Oflkvil Ltst.)

DOG POISONING.—The North British Agriculturist says :—Strychnine is sill waging war against the canine species. Notwithstanding the recent .deci , ion of the Sheriff Substitute at Perth, the gamekeepers in the south are laying down strychnine as abundantly as ever. V./ BOILED AND FRIED.—The Toronto Globe states that 2 great excitement prevails among the lumbermen of the 2 Ottowa ,in consequence (4 a manifesto again.t the 1 wasteful practice of frying pork which the employers who l pro.i4on their labourers have issued. The employers say :—" We desire to furnish to th , se in our em; loy an abundance of good food suitable for their nourishment and maintenance in go ,d health and strength, but being I convinced that fried pork administers no more to thee ends than boiled, and in view of the great loss sustained 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 whoLy abolished." THUNDERSTORM IN PARIS. —A. thunderstorm, even more violent than that of T hursda y last, burst over Paris yesterday. The morning was fine, though clouded, Without much sultriness. At 3 o'clock the sky became completely overcast and lowering, and the lightning be gan to dart from the heavy m ass of clouds. The w ind rapidly rose, and grew to almost the fury of a hurricane, and the thunder-peals were loud and frequent. The rain rushed down in a deluge, and in a 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 aRa n came down in abundance, and contiuuel for some time. BILLINGSGATE FISH MARKET.—A correspondent, who ?as long advocated for deep-sea fishing, and fish market Improvements, has brought under our notice the present filthy state of Billingsgate fish market. He says— " With water pumped from the river Thames by a Powerful steam engine into a fountain erected in the Midcle 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, has a system been adopted it is still my unpleasant task again to complain of. The whole of the paint work about the market is so un clean, filthy, and studded with fish scales, that, now the warm weather has set in, when all public market places should receive sanitary dressings, but more particularly fish markets, it Is to be hoped the proper authorities will at least see that the paint !Fe, rk is properly scrubbed and washed, it they do not think it necessary to give it a new coat. In the heat of day, and close weather, the "ell Proceeding from the filthy paint work is most Sdensive. :* , ~_-_ ).7 ecn r from a mes h by . a ine, to Lions of The to the Ntir ng forth. ia.

Business this day THE EVE OF TLIE DERBY. The - mystery will be cleared up to-morrow. 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 ever, and indeed they appear to be scarcely "warm." The latest movements in the Turf Market are more calculated to increase their perplexity, than to aid them in their speculations, for never was betting, in certain instances, so wild, vague, and unsettled. Despite the " bearing 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 him, 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 ; 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 should 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 Vtirardermarske and Apathy at York is suffi cient to warrant the expectations of his partizans. The power of money has forced Anton to the head of the betting list, and, unless he be superseded by Saunterer, he is likely to remain there until the bell rings for saddling. To build hopes of Anton's success, on hie 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 fow 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 labia Two Thousand form, and that the Days are confident of success. Anton is a remarkably clean and " pretty" horse, with a light, quick act:on ; and, if he be only capable of staying, the next portrait issued by Messrs. Bailey Brothers may be that of ANTON, WINNER OF THE DERBY 1857. L EO n a. , & .d N. ts zo En W .. c. Gt.Northn E. Count.

His owner backs him as if he had the cel lars cf 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 support conceded to the horse is as much the result of 'kyle 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 a❑ 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 debit in the race on such an animal as Tournament. Yesterday the horse was not in very steady demand ; but be bos longs to a party that is not very powerful, and who do not back horses simply for the sake of 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. He does not, however, appear to be grown, and on that account I 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. The " practitioner" has disappointed the cognoscenti 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 confideut in the soundness of M.D.'s pretensions, but I cannot share his "fondness." Arsenal, I expect, will run well for a 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 bo confided. His running for the Dee Stakes certainly entitles him to favourable con_ sideration. Wardersmarke will go to the post in better condition than we have yet seen him, and with Aldcroft's assistance he will indubitably obtain a forward position. Adainas, a " cast off " (rein John Scott's stable, has risen into notice on 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 hiin. 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 ho would give his ears to win with Adam as. Many 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 rain 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 bas 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 either ANTON or ADAMAS. SKIRMISHER and SAUNTERER may occupy the next position. 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 A.LL'S—MONDAY. 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 ash to 1 was taken about him ; at 13 t 0.2 the investments on him were in the aggregate about I 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 hacked for 3001. 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 outlay's on the other animals were too unimportant to require notice. Closing prices : HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YESTERDAY.) The Earl of MALMESBURY gave notice that on Thursday net he should present a petition from the proctors of Doctors' Commons on the subject of the Testamentary Jurisdiction 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 laeds under special report of the inclosure Comissioners for England and Wales, or for confirming any scheme of the Clarity 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 ae y new bill sent up fiotn 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 cam mittee, for the purpose of taking evidence and resolving as to whether the permisssion for divorced persons to marry again has a n y warrant in Holy Scripture. The Bishop of ST. D AVIDS 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 that he could reconcile them. Legislation in such matters was invariably futile and un fortunate. It 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 of pure and happy marriages. The Earl of HARROWBY supported the bill. As for the Duke of Nerfulk'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 lordship's house. Lord REDESDALE thought the committee would decide in opposition to the principles of the clause. He would support the Duke of Norfolk's motion if pressed to a division. The Duke of ARGYLL thought this was an attempt to get rid of the old by a side wind. Viscount DUNGANNON hear ily supported the motion for a committee. Lord DENMAN cernmenced reading a speech on the Divine permission to marry again in the New Testament but was ieterrupted by the Earl of Derby, as being out of order in so doing. On a division on the amendment the numbers were : Contents Nun-contents 26 Majority against the amendment —97 The house 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 Loudon, and he had no intention to empower the County Courts to try divorce cases. 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 The law, more over, must be brought within the means of all—else how could they hope to correct the brutality which every police, r. port told them was so rife in the humbler classes? The punishments now inflicted too often aggravated the evils they were intended to pieveet 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. The LORD CHANCELLOR said it would be easy to have additional judges it 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 ex e ended. After a few words of objection from Earl GREY, and approbation from Lord CAMPBELL, 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 of er a woman had been deserted 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. Toe LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the dame 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 mere confusion. The Bishop of OXFORD said here wasa 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 under this clause, but not her person. Lord ST. LEONARDS replied that when a man de serted his wife it was plain he did not desire her person. The Duke of ARGYLL said the justices would be sore pressed to carry out these clauses. Earl GREY said that after all they must came, 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. Tie LORD CHANCELLOR objected to the clause because it had no force until the husband returned after desert ng his wife. He might then take all her property, while she only had the right to get protection for her future earainge. They must, in fact, divorce the woman so as to give her some status. Lord ST. LEONARDS defended the clause. The Earl of DERBY said if the deserted wife could protect herself against the sudden return of her husband to plunder he r, that would answer his objection. After the Earl of WICKLOW, the Bishop of OxioßD , and several other reverend and noble lor ds had briefly addressed the house, their lordships divided :- 52 For the clause ...........................

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco.) TREVIS V. SOITTII EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY AND ANOTHER Mr. Sergeant Thomas moved, pursuant to leave re served, for a rule to show cause why the verdict in this case, which was found for the plaintiff, but, by the di. rection of Mr. Justice Cieriiige, entered for the defen dants, should not be set aside, and the verdict entered for the plaintiff. This was an action in trover, brought by the plaintiff to recover an amount of compensation for the conversion of testimonials left with the defendants and lest by them. The phintiff, on entering the defendants' service, left with the traffic manager four testimonials having refer ence to his p ••evious character and occupation, and on his leaving their service he demanded that they should be given up to him, but they could not be found, having been lost or mislaid. The Court thought then ought to have been a count in the declaration for a bailment, as they could not 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 trial and an amendment of the declaration on payment of costs. Rule granted. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE W. J. ROBSON. CRYSTAL PALACE FRAUDS.—ADJOURNED DIVIDEND MEETING.—To-day was appointed for the adjourned dividend meeting under the estate of this bankrupt, who, it will be remembered, was convicted a few months since of txtensive frauds connected with the shares, &c., of the Crystal Palace Company. The dividend had been adjourned principally to en quire into a claim by the Company for about 18,0001., arising out of the frauds, but it was not gone into this day. Several proofs were tendered and admitted, and others connected with the share transactions, &c., with stock brokers, were ordered to stand over for inquiry, and the meeting was adjourned until the 4.11 of June. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. enabling the court to preniounce a dil:orce a virmulo rnatrivaonii after five y an. , " dePention. Tue LORD CHANCELLOR resisted this as uu wise. After some further discussion, the house divided— Contents 8 Nan-contents Majority again4t amendment —B9 The Earl of CARNARVON asked whether, after the dissolution of a marriage nn the ground of incestuous adultery with a wife's sister, the husband would be at liberty to marry the si,4,r ? The LORD CHANCELL'AL apprehended that the husband cowd not marry. Upon this the e :use was agreed to. Lord AIALMESBURY moved a clause to prevent persons who had been divorced marrying again. He would disqualify all who had 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 bis opposition to the principle of the bill. Tne scriptural argument, be said, bad not been met. He regarded that bid as an excuse by which bigamists might escape punishment. If they wera to poll the country, the homes of England would answer with one voice. The bishop then called upon them to protect the poor, the wet-. 11, and the innecimt. After some csnversation, Lord DERBY said there were three questions before the house—one, whether both divorced parties should starry again ; the second, that neither should marry again ; the third, proposed by the Archbishop of Can terbury, that only the injured party ahould 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 Maj nity against the clause —6 The question was then put as to whether the clause as amended should stand part of the Bill. The Bishop of OXFORD thought that, though the bill was improved by the additional words introduced by the most rev. prelate, yet it still went too far. Re moved the total omission of the dense. 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. Eail GRANVILLE said that after the noble lord (Lord Lyndhurst) bad borne the fatigue of sitting there so long to state his views, the house ought to have the patience to hear him. Lord LYNDHURSTproposed to amend the clause by strikieg out all that related to criminal conversation. The bid provided that no action shoula be sustained for criminal conversation tiil after a divorce. The effect of this would be that all 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 expene 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 I do would be to move the omission of the words r e latin g to actions for crierenal conversations. Lord WENSLEYDALE said this was a most impor tant quesion, on which he had much to say. He should support the motion that the house do now resume. The LORD CEIA.NCELLOR said that they would look as if they were not ready to go on with their work at so very late an hour. The Marqu:s 01C L A.NRICARDE said that the house ought nut to resume till the noble and learned lord'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 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 Mouse 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. Tne Chester Water bill was read a third time. The following bills were considered, aad ordered to he read a third time :—Dublin and Wicklow Railway ; Dumbarton Water, Ric. ; Great Western and Brentford Railway ; and Islington Parish Bills. PETITION'S. Various petitions were presented against the Civil Service Superannuation Act, against the Paper Duties, and from the King of Cade against the conduct of the East India Company. ADJOURNAIENT 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 EXCEEQUER said that he intended to bring on his Savings Banks b►ll on Friday next. THE COMMITTEES. Mr. FITZROY moved that all committees might be allowed to sit during the a4j , urament 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. TRESIGER gave notice that on the o June he should ask fur leave to introduce a bill for dispensing with grand juries at the Central Criminal Court, and at the general and quarter sestiions 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 introduce a measure founded on the report of the commission issued to inquire into the sub ject of legal education? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL 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 bid would be introduced this session. Probably a bill would be in troduced next 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 bad been called upon by the War Department to reside at the headquarters of the pei manent staff, for the purpose of taking medical charge of the officers non-commis sioned officers, and toe . r families ; and, if so, at what' rate ? Sir J. RAMSDEN said that pay was issued topse surgeons of militia regiments residing at the head-qF. tete of the regiments, at the rate as fi xed in the militia regulations of 1854. CUSTOMS DUTIES. Mr. W. EWARI said it appeared from a return made to this house on the 20th Jan. last that there were in the table of customs duties 60 aricles producing to the revenue not more than 2001. yearly each, 53 articlee producing not more than 1001., 36 producing not more than 201., and 13 producirg only 51. or less than 5/. N early, each. He asked the Chancellor of the -Exchequer, whether it was the intention of the Govern ment to consider the expediency of abolishing any o f these duties, in *lie interests of commerce, and for far ther simplifying the Tariff of Customs duties ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sa id that in the main tnere would be no objection to th in troduction of a bill for the abolition of the due s re ferred to. BRITISH GUIANA. Mr. CHEETLIAM. asked the Secretary of State for he Colonies if he had received any communication 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 was the intention of her Majesty's Government to take any steps with reference t) the same Mr. LAgOUCH.ERE said that the Government would do everyaling to increase the supply of labour in these colonies. THE MEDJIDIE ORDER. Mr. LA.URIE asked the Under Secretary for War; when the rtmainder 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. He could not mention the exact day. IMPROVEMENTS 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 iu the interior of H yde-park I (Laughter.) Sir B. HALL said be had once already ans ered this question by letter. He intended to erect a 1 dge on the west side of the Marble-arch, and to appropriate the basement to tee purp , ses ineritione6, to put a stop, if possible, to the doigusting, scenes oiteu ~,ituessed in the park.
