kOriEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL TNTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. 4 „- recounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton r e irkete n Saturdayclosedwith an upward ten ncY, at extreme rates for all descriptions, and 4I azil and Egyptians were Id. per lb. dearer. The 143 amounted to 9,000 bales, 500 of which were 4 'ken for export, and. 1,500 on si. eculation. The 1 1411 way Share Market was steady, but no particu talteration in prices occurred. ..The general business of the port of London last eek was rather quiet. — At the Custom House 198 l e 'sels were reported from foreign part s, 3 from r eland, and there were 266 colliers. The entries G :twat di were 126 and the clearance s 114 vessels. I aides 29 in ballast. 4. 4 large arrival of specie is announced from 'raerica to-day, viz., 455,0001., and as the ex ,challge at New York on London has forth risen, it is ex. '''ted that tl--=i7"---nPorts will Thence con7tinu — e °ll a large scale. If we obtain a million an d a half t two millions sterling per month from this fr.,, a°llte e, the evil effect of the Eastern drain will be 'qtly mitigated. Between 300, 0001 . and 500,000/. 1 - "c'w considered due from Australia, so that our I)e 'lie supplies are likely to keep pace with our ex -111:1t8 :—an important fact in consider in g the future 14 °Aetary prospects of the country. cii ! t t a meeting of the Australian Aux iliar y Steam I, 7l ) Per C o mpany on Saturday, a favourable r e p ort adopted, but at the recomme ndation of the uo ard, the consideration of a dividend was post- N ed, in order to await the results of the vo y a g es o, tl 'three of the company's ships now at sea. S ince Thursday last, when the directors of the B ask lowered the rate of discount, the inqui r y for 14 °l ' e Y, in all departmen t s has b een ver y much t 5 i i ll tracterl, traders and others apparently leaving iti tla ited their demands as much as possible, probably tbe hope of the minimum being still further re :WI before long. In a few days, however , t he 1 i -cations for discounts will no doubt increase 04' : i ng to the preparations that must then be made f the approaching " fourth" of th e month, but if' as °Pinion of the future may be fo rmed from pre kelit indications a recurrence of pressure is not likely Ti t ake place, the supply of capital being la rge. I ,, ► 're is still an absence of speculation , a nd business iti te branches being quiet, there is sure to be ex , 41 "ded employment for money whenever a revival fa 4 leß, and this contingency, together with the that many persons having deposits at call with 014 t stock and other establishments, may withdraw til ' e to if the minimum further declines, must never -loeless tend to prevent a return to a low rate for a 4. time to come. Besides, we may expect the r roduction of numerous joint-stock schemes, and ai 'hough encouragement may not be given to all, a ir lt will no doubt succeed, and thus divert capital °4l the market, where its accumulation, w itl i a view to cheapan money, is required. The l promoters of the Grand Russian Railway fl o eke may also make another attempt to at the shares, and the exige ncies of the Turkish t e 'sary may render it necessary for the Porte to tl 1(1 new measures for the establishment of the pro posed National bank. Again, the directors of th 4 4 37 joint stock companies at home, al ti,°llgh in want of means to carry out he Objects originallycontemplated, baying hitherto w tr &ined from making calls, while the market k al go stringent, will come forward at the first the re opportunity. Thus, it is clear that re are many obstacles in the way of a rapid te' 40 ration of ease. q During the past week the imports of specie were all be a 681,7001., and an the exports, so far as they scertained, about 1 ,370,000/. the the commencement of business thia morning ttetnglish Funds appeared buoyant, at the quo kloss current on Saturday afternoon, and an im cement was generally expected, pa rtl y in conse 404ee of the large specie remittances from America. lai t34 afterwards, however, a largo speculative a said to amount to 100,0001. produced blight reaction, and the market has since 9 ., °11 rather fiat.

Payne held an inquest at the Bowyer Hotel, Clapham, on the body of Sir J. Eyre, Knight, physician, ag ed 67. It appeared that the deceased and his lady were staying at the residence of Mr. Scholey, Lauriston House, Lark hallrise, Clapham, on a visit. Oa Thursday he had at tended the Queen's levee, and sat up playing at whist till a quarter to 1 o'clock on Friday morning, when he remarked, " I think it is time to leave off playing cards," and went up to bed, his lady having preceded him. He 'was in no way excited, but was in his usual health. -About 5 o'clock the same morning Lady Eyre's bell rang, and on the servant going up deceased was found in the bed by her side dead. Mr. H. C. Parrott, surgeon, of Clapham, who was one of the whist party, expressed his conviction that death bad resulted from some vessel of the brain having given way. Verdict, natural death. The audit of the accounts of the Agra and United Service Bank, taken on behalf of the new directors who have recently joined the bank on the establishment of its headquarters in London, has been completed under the supervision of a professional accountant, and is stated to have been of the moat complete description. most n gin .atc b, 3 vas Sofa ously resenti' olice. eur wash• ire 11 1 eup • )011 ing 01 1 iniself e die• ipp l y ides pate ❑din; ester, ,uley, it A. emeu re 3 o- extol sa id y the )0 ag .. wring rose' , at, of the Lvtecl usly- orma • ester, emot e ion to p etl' :ad ifts n the ~.~ SHARE MARKETS—(This Day.)

At the meeting of the Turkish Gas Company, to-day, it was agreed to wind up, and rejurn 11. 6d. of the deposit to the shareholders. There was rip hope of doing anything with the Turkish Government. In starting the company the directors took a deposit of 23. 61. pr IL share, and contemplated the expenditure at is. 6d. in their endeavours to secure a concession, but the result showed that the current expenses did not ex ceed ls. per share, leaving ls. 6.1. to be returned. The resolutions to wind up and make the proposed return were agreed to unanimously. A. vote of thanks was passed to the chairman, Mr. L. Cubitt, and the directors. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS, (Before Mr. Baron Willes.) AI MYTAGE V. M'DONALD, -CELL CON. This was an action to recover damages for trim. con., and the plea Was not guilty. The damages were laid at 8001. The plaintiff was a solicitor lately practising in India , and the defendant, Colonel M'Danald, was an aide-de camp to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge. Mr. 'Sergeant Byles, Mr. Bovill, and Mr. Polling ap peared for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Mr. Petersdorff for the defendant. Mr. Sergeant Bytes having addressed the jury, called Mr. Colin M°Donald, the brother of Mrs. Armytage, who proved the marriage of his sister with, Mr. Armytage. Mr. Shore, residing in 8, Furnival's-inn, a relative of Mr. Armytage, said—l recollect the marriage of the plaintiff in 1849. They lived happily together till the year she left him. They were residing at Birmingham when she ran away. Nothing was known of her until she was seen at the theatre with a gentleman. Expla nations were demanded, but on. quitting the theatre she eluded her husband, and nothing was known of her until she was . discovered living with Col. M`Denald. Mrs:Pugh—l knew Mrs. Armytage. I first knew her in 51, Gloucester-place, Hyde-park. In 1851 I saw her again some time after the opening of the Exhibi tion, at 75, Gloucester-place. I next saw her at Capt. Borstal's, at a large party, 30, Inverness-terrace. I have had the honour of seeing Colonel McDonald (laughter)—the defendant. I lava accompanied Mrs. Armytage a great many times to Colonel M`Doinald's chambers, in the Albany, in 1851. She went in. I did not. I left her and went home. This was in the latter part of the year 1851. She went to Colonel M`Donald's chambers about twice a-week. She visited Col. IVl'Donald in 1852, 1853, and 1854, until he went to the Crimea about twice a week—never less than twice. (Laughter.) I first met Col. M'Donald at Mrs. Armytage's residence in Hill-street, Knights bridge. It was in the summer before be went to the Crimea. She has received letters from Col. M`Donald, and I have posted a letter directed to him by Mrs. Army tagP. I recollect one Sunday afternoon being told to walk out of the room in which Mrs. Armytage and Col. M Donald were sitting, and they remained to gether about two or three hours- I remember going Mrs. Armytage to Buckingham Palace to see Colonel M‘Donald. We dii not see him, and I suggested that we should go to the railway and see if t he was among the troops going to the Crimea. He walked up and embraced her affectionately—he kissed her—she appeared very much affected. I don't know how many times he kissed hor. Ho had her in his arm., and he might have kiised her twenty times for all I know. I saw Colonel hYDonald get in the carriage which was to convey the officers to the ship. Mrs. M'Donald, as the carriage was leaving, ran up to the window, and calling to him, said, " Dear James— here is my marriage pocket handkerchief." She had previously wetted it with her tears. (Laughter.) Cross-examined by Sergeant Shee—l was married to Mr. Pugh. Sergeant Shee—Will you swear you were married ? Witcess—Yes. I was married by the Scotch law. Some people said it was not legal. Sergeant Shee—Where were you living when you were married ? Witness—ln Dum friesshire. Sergeant Shee—Were you married in a church ? Witness—No, in my drawing-room. Sergeant Shea—Was there anybody present ? Wit ness—l don't think you have any right to ask me clues- tions ab)ut my private affairs. If you do I won't answer them. (Laughter.) I came here to speak about the affairs of Mrs. Armitage. Baron Willes—You must answer the question of the learned counsel. Sergeant Shee—When did Major Pugh die ? Witness —ln 1813. He left MO= independent lady. (Laughter.) I have been abroad. I returned to London and went to live at 45, Gloucester•place. Sergeant Shee—Wero you living with a Mr. 113 se n Witness—(With much energy)—Living with him, no. He was living at the same house in which I re sided. I have proceeded against him for an assault. I did not go for damages he is too great a villain for that. (Laughter.) In answer to further questions of the learned counsel — The witness said I was first introduced to Mrs.Artnytage as a young widow. I have known Mrs. Armytage to live in Hill-street with a Mrs. Stanley, who had lived in three different houses in Hill-streetl Mrs. Armytage never went anywhere without me. I have been in the Albanywith Mrs. M`Danald. I believed Mr. M`Donald was her cm sin, and I believe Ei) now. (La❑ghter.) I have seen Colonel M`Donald in Hill street. He ap peared to love her very mucli. When I saw Colonel M`Donald on the railway platform there were a great many persons there, but I c )uld not say whether there were any ladies. I was so confused. I don't mean to tell you whether I had any friend going off. (Laughter.) That I mean to keep to myself. Mrs. Mary Irland said—l kept, the house 13, Hill street. Mrs. Armytage lived there. CA. ll'Donald used to visit her Cross•eximined by Sergeant Shoo—Some cousins used ,o come to see Mrs. Armytage. There were three o them. They were not old gentlemen. Ale of them came a second time. I first saw Col. WDonald in 1853. The other cousins continued to come to the home not withstanding his visits. Mrs. Saul Gailey-4 am living at Stanley-street, Chelsea. I recollect Mrs. M'Donald taking lodgings in my house. I know now that her right name is Army tage. She took the lodgings in Nov., 1854, and lived thera till Christmas, 1855. I knew Colonel Macdonald. Ile used to vieit Mrs. Armytago once or twice a-week. Ile used to bring sweetmeats. She used to call him "Jemmy," and he called her " Annie." In Oct., 1855, Colonel M‘Donaid ceased visiting Mrs. Armytage. lie never came to my house again, and in December cf the same year she left. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Shee—l have been a lodging-house keeper for three years. I generally let lodgings to ladies. I have two sisters lodging with me. Sergeant Shee—Have they any cousins Witness—Yes. Sergeant Shee—How many friends visited Mrs. Army tage while she was living with you Witness—About half a dozen. Sergeant Shee—Did she walk out with different gen- tlemen I Witness—She used to - walk to church with Colonel M'Donald. (Laughter ) Dr. John Clarke—l recollect attending a Mrs. IP- Donald for about a month in 1856. She was delivered of a son. She lived at 12, Little Stanhope -street. She was a good-looking lady, about 26 years of age. The evidence of the plaintiff having concluded, Mr. Sergeant Shee addressed the jury for the defen dant. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff_ d amage „, 1001. FATAL ACCIDENT NEAR THE LAND'S END.—OR Sun day morning a little boy and girl left their homes at Sennen Cove to go in sea rch of gull's eggs. The little boy was nine years old, and was called William Penrose. About half-way between the Cove and the Land's End the boy tried to reach some eggs at a spot where the cliffs are very precipitous, and the girl, w h o was a little older, was aiding him , when his feet slipped. His com panion held him for a minute ; the n , f ee li ng h er o wn s t ren gth diminish, and seeing no aid near, was com pelled to relinquish her hold ; and the hapless boy fell to a depth of between two hundred and three hundred feet, end was dashed to pieces. The body was soon re covered, without a vestige of life.—C orn i s h, Telegraph. SOUTHAMPTON, Friday.—The Belgian royal mail steamer Constitution, Capt. E. Pougin, sailed early this mornindfor New York, with the Belgian Mails, about 270 passeng ers, and a general cargo. The Washington Irvine, Capt. I. Darrant, sailed to-day for Sydney, New South Wales, with 308 G overnment emigrants, under charge of Surgeon Superintendent J. C. Bury. The next ship' to leave this port is the Hotspur, for Melbourne, which is to be ready to receive her passengers on the 20th inst. A proof of the business facilities provided at this port was afforded yesterday, when the steamer Havre, Capt. Smith, arrived in the docks from Havre, at 6 o'clock in the morning, with 472 packages of baggage and cargo, the whole of which was landed and ship ta k en i n to grav ing dock for the purpose of being c l eaned, by 8 o ' c l oc k the same morning. During the week ending to-day, 1,000 passengers from all parts of the world have landed in the docks, having 3360 packages of baggage. SPORTING NOTES. NOTIONS ABOUT NEWCASTLE. The racing last week was marked by incidents of more than temporary interest. The unexpected merit dis played by Good Friday, at Hampton, redeemed the sport on the Hurst from utter insignificance, and indeed many of the competitors possessed something more than that "thistle cropping" character which on former years attached to the "performers." Good Friday was, it will be remembered, once heavily hacked for the Chester Cup, and recently, on the strength of a more satisfactory trial, he was made a prominent fa vourite for the Royal Hunt Cup. For that event and also in a subsequent race at Ascot, he " cut up" wretch edly, and John Scott was not a little puzzled to account for the horse's inglorious exhibitions. The secret was discovered at Hampton. Good Friday evidently has a nasty temper and a great dislike to a crowd. Ids there• fora ran in "blinkers." His first race he won " run ning away," and was afterwards sold by auction to Mr. John Barnard for 205 guineas. He started again for the Queen's Plate, which he also won with "ridiculous ease," and as his new owner backed him f)r a "pony," he had the great luck to obtain a good horse for nothing 1 Mr. Jackson was in immense force with his "Buckthorn's" at Newton, and made a purchase which may one day be profitable. He gave 1,5001, for Mon grel who seems a "glutton" at a distance, and who if he had incurred no penalty would have been a very for midable opponent to Skirmisher at Newcastle. John Osborne seems to have over estimated the racing merit of his filly latercidona, who has thrice disappointed him. A large meeting will take place at Newcastle to morrow and the three following days, and despite the long and tedious journey it possesses sufficient •attrac tion to draw off maiy southern turfites from the plea sant gatherings in Hampshire. The list of sport presents quite a formidable array of entries and weights, and there are so many "in and in" englgements that I §m not a little puzzled hew to deal with the proba lities. I shall couple "Mr. Henderson's " representa tive, either Assayer or Logie o' Buchan, with Manga nese, to do battle for me for The Member's Plante. The colt by Buckthorn out of Captious is the most attractive name amongst the nominations for the Tyro Stakes. Should Vedette be recovered from his Two Thousand lameness, and were he to meet Blink Bonny for the North Derby a race would be afforded. that would well repay the fatigue of the long journey from London. As a probability exists, however, that neither of these turf celebrities will be sent to Newcastle, Wardermareke may prove the most trustworthy cham pion. The success of Skirmisher for tho Northumberland Pl%te seems to be a foregone conclusion. lam not bold enough to anticipate his overthrow, but I expect that old Pantomime and Vandal wi'l obtain the somewhat barren honours of a "situation." The Grand Stand Stakes seems likely to go to John Osborne's stable. For the Free Handicap I shall select Breeze and Codrington. To-morrow I will refer at length to the racing in the South. There has been a great field day to-day at West miwter Hall. The case of Sidebottom v. Atkins came on before before aesely crowded court, whil-t an equally interesting air occupied the attention of another court. In the langua ,, e of the P. R. the de fendant in the firit mentioneltase, soAn "threw up the sponge," and a verdict for ,0001. ins recorded in favour of the plaintiff. The case of Sidebottom v. Atkins will point out a moral and adduce a tale which young nice just let loose on town will do well to ponder. June 22. A FRESH MAN. NEWCASTLE, Sunday Morning.—No liorszs arrived at present. The ground is still rely hard. MALTON, Sunday.—The-folowing are expected to leave here for Newcastle :—Huwourist, Cherry Chap, Courtenay, Vandal, Imperieuso, Prioress filly, Ronconi, and Conductor. Star of the East and Wood Nymph have gone to Stockbridge. ENORMOUS EXPORT OF SILVER. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Pera, Captain Joy, left Southampton on Saturday with the heavy portion of the fortnightly India and China mail. The mail was a very heavy one, consisting of 180 boxes and bags of I,Vers and. newspapers. The Hong Kong portion was con . - tained in 34 boxes, amongst which were 9 boxes for the British admiral of the China station. This part of the China mail increases in size as the forces destineA for the war in China continue to arrive out - arra. The Pera took out 74 passengers, and specie, chiefly silver, to the amount of nearly a million and a quarter sterling, or hard upon 6,000,000 doll. worth. The bulk of this specie was brought to Southampton from London by a special train of 17 waggons, and the whole of the specie weighed upwards of 80 tons. Precious metals to so large an amount were never, perhaps, on board a single ship at one time. The export of enormous quantities of silver is exciting the greatest interest, not only on account of the im portant commercial and political circumstances with which it is connected, but also because of the for tunes which are being made by all those who are merely concerned in its transit, and because of the vast extent of British commerce which it reveals. Nearly 3,000 bales of silk arrive in England every fortnight with the overland India and. China mail, every bale being worth 1001., b:side3 the silk that reaches England in sailing vessels by the long sea route. As mach profit as 25 per cent. is made by the sale of silver for the East. The insurance paid on the specie ssnt out in the Pera could not have been less than 30,0001., and the freight would pro b4bly amount to about 25,0001. The following is the manifest of specie for India and China shipped per steamer Pera, viz., 984 boxes of bar silver, ' dollars, and 5 franc pieces, valued at 252,3041. 15s. 2d. for Bombay ; 1 box of sovereigns and watches, worth 8621. 12s. for Ceylon ; 81 boxes of sovereigns, 5 franc pieces, and bar silver, worth 22,9841. 12s. for Madras ; 530 boxes of 5 franc pieces, bar silver, and gold lace, worth 134,6831. 10i., for Calcutta; 30 boxes of dollars, worth 7,4261. 13s. 4d., for Penang ; 355 dollars, worth 88,2701., for Singapore ; 1,304 boxes of dol lars, worth 6,0301. for Canton; 1,113 boxes of bar silver, dollars and gold thread, worth 301,3121., for Shanghai. The total number of boxes was 4,422 ; the total value of the specie was 1,144,9121135. 7d. COMMITTAL OF A CAPTAIN AND HIS MATAS FOR MURDER. The adjourned investigation into the circum stances connected with the death of Andrew Rose, commenced on Friday, at two o'clock, and, as pre- , viously, the court was crowded. The - first witness called was _ _ Win. Davidson, who said he was an able seaman on board the Martha and Jaae. Rose seemed to be in good health when he came on board, and was about 30 years of age. Saw him at the wheel the day they sailed. Saw the second mate " lick" the deceased the second day by the captain's order. He was " licked" with a whip, and he was beat whilst in irons, and he was beaten almost day and night. Heard the deceased ask the mate to let him go for a purpose, but he would not allow him, and he was unable to move, being fastened to a ring. For committing himself upon the deck they "licked" him as hard as they could. The deceased asked what it was for, and they told him it was for having done what he did, and he rejoined he could not help it, as they would not let him go. The witness corroborated the evidence already pub lished having relation to the abominable treatment the deceased had received at the hands of the cap tain. He also repeated the evidence about the gag ging of the deceased, the water cask, the conduct of the dog, and other matters which appeared in our last publication. The deceased was beaten al most every hour, day and night, during the voyage. Deceased was covered all over with putrified sores, and from what witness saw of him he thought it was ill usage he received that caused such a state of things. Cross-examined by Mr. Aspinall—l did not know the man before he shipped. Do not know if he bad been in gaol before that. Ido not know if he had any internal disease. [The cross-examination was con tinued at considerable length, but nothing was elicited in any way to shake the evidence of pr ev iou s w itnesses.] The captain never did anything harsh to any other man of the crew. The captain set the dog on the man, but not on any of the other men. The dog, too, used to fly at him without the cap tain's direction. Edward Clarke, the carpenter of the ship, said, the deceased appeared to be in good health when he came on board, but he thought he was insane. Saw the prisoners beat him. The second mate came to him for a hammer and chisel to open a water cask. He gave the deceased a glass of water while he was in the water cask. This witness bore full tes timony in corroboration of the various abominable atrocities perpetrated on the deceased. Some other witnesses were examined and corro borated the statements, and Surgeon W . all and Doctor Pennington gave it as their opinion, from the evidence, that death was accelerated by the treatment the man had received. The prisoners, Henry Rogers, the captain ; C. S e y mour, the chief mate, and W. Mills, the second mate, were then fully committed for trial for wilful murder.— Liverpool Chronicle. 20 i 114 i 99 8.1 9 914 1 122 104..1 i 6 , 4 i i 1001 101 33 i I 1011 45 3A 81 3i 93 2i 21i Ili 1 88i 9 41j / 1 20k 1 5S i 1.-a 4$ 23 21 128 12 6t 491 50 15i i 36i 51 88 90 88 Pm i 96k 5 6 if a 16 15i 4 1141 15 x d 857, roitt 9.24ttton SUN OFFICE, SCV29I, o'Clock.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—',This Evening.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Woolsack at 5 o'cicck. Lord CAMPBELL presented.a petition from a place in Scotland, praying that the 40s. franchise, which pre vailed in England should be extended to Scotland. The Earl of DONOUGHMORE presented a petition against the Joint-Stock Companies Amendment Bill, from the shareholders iu the Tipperary Bank, and pray ing to be heard at the bar against the bill. • The LORD CHANCELLOR sa'd the prayer of the petition could not be heard at tbeir lordships' bar. If such a request was granted, it would be setting a very bad precedent. The Marquis of BREA.DALB.A.NE presented several petitions against the grant to Maynooth. THE OPIUM TRADE. The Earl of SIIA.FTESBURY asked the cause of the delay in ascertaining the opinion of the law officers of the Crown with respect to the legality of the opium treaty. The LORD CHANCELLOR said •the point ypon which an ( - pinion was to be taken had been drawn tip and forwarded to the Court of Directors of the East In dia Company, with a view of ascertaining whether the facts were cl,arly stated. The directors made certain corrections, which of couve involved delay. The ques tion had been suspended for some time, but be could assure the noble lord that there was an inclination on the part of the Government or Court of Directors to create unnecessary delay. SECOND READINGS. The folowing hills were read a second time : —St. Phillip's Church (Liverpool), Brighton and Hove Water, New River Company, North-Eastern and Hartlepool Dock and Rail way Companies' Amalgamation, North- Eastern Railway (Capital) . Amalgamation, North Eastern, Portsmouth Railway, and Dublin and Wicklow Railway. Nov., 1852, specifying the date of conviction and extent cf punishment : showing :the entire cost of maintaining all convicts and all other prisoners convicted by a jury, confined in the several county gaols in Ireland, for the years 1852, 1853, 1854, 1855, and 1856, to the 31st day of December last, paid out of county rates : of all sums repaid to counties in Ireland from the Con. solidated Fund for the maintenance of convicts and mis. detneanants) if any payment made) during said years : and, of a'l sums paid out of the Consolidated Fund to re. imburse the several counties in England and Wales for the maintenance of convicts and convicted misdemean. ants confined in the several gaols during the said years; such return to specify the number in each class, and the average cost per head (in continuation of Parliamentary paper, No. 412, of session 1853). CANADIAN RIFLES. Mr. C. FITZ WILLIAM asked the Under Secretary for War whether the Canadian Rifles, now proceeding to the Red River, had been sent at the request of the Had. son's Bay Company, and whether for the purpose of pro. tecting the trade of the company, in consequence of infor. illation received that any portion of the territory north of the boundary line was likely to be or had already been ; occupied by settlers from the United States I Sir J. RAMSDEN said that the Canadian Rifles had been sent to the Red River as stated, but not in consequence of any infringement of the British territory by settlers from the United States, but merely for gene. ' rat purposes, and because it was not desirable to leave ' so large a territory unprotected. It was no new oo• currence. FACTORY INSPECTORS REPORTS. Mr. COBBETT asked the Secretary of State for , the Home Department, whether the reports of the fao t9ry inspectors for the half-year ending on the 30th of April last had been received by him, and when they will be hid on the table of the house ? Sir G. GREY said he hoped to lay the reports on ,he table of the house in the course of the week. CONSTABULAR Y (IRELAND). Sir E. HAYES asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he intended to introduce a measure, during the present session, for the better distribution of the consta• bulary force in Ireland ? Mr. H. HERBERT said it was his intention soon to introduce such a bill. ISLAND OF PERIM. Mr. J. WHITE asked the President of the Board of Control, seeing that the Island of Perim, in the Straits of Bab el Mandeb, had l?een recently occupied in the nami l of the British Crown, whether the privileges of a Free Port had been or would be accorded thereto. Mr. V, SMITH said that the Hand in question had not been recently occupied in the British name. It was occupied in 1799 by the Indian Government, and was given up in 1801 by the Marquis of Wellesley. It was now merely re-occupied to establish the right to the ter• ritory. It would not be a free port. ORDNA.NCE SURVEY REPORT. Sir D NORREYS asked the Under Secretary for War whether any communication had been received from Colonel James (the Director of the Ordnance Survey Department), stating that the plans appended to the army estimates, which were sigued by him in October, and were issued to the members of the Rouse of Commons in February last were incorrect • in so far as they represent the county of Durham to have been snrvesed and drawn on the soaleof 6 inches to the mile, whereas they were drawn on the scale of 25 inches inches ta the mile : when such communication was made ; and why it was not communicated to the house previous to the report on the army estimates being brought up : by what authority the survey of the county of Durham was drawn on the scale of 25 inches to the mile ; and whether there are any objections to lay on the table of the house copies of the authority under which such survey on the enlarged scale was adopted, and any correspondence rd.sting thereto. Sir J. RAMSDEN said that no communication of the nature referred to was made by Colonel Jones, pre vious to the bringing up of the army estimates. He entered into explanations on the apparant contradictions alluded to. Toe survey was made under the authority of a Treasury minute f the 18th May 1855, and whit% bad been laid on the table. OATHS BILL. On bringing up the amendments to this bill, Mr. S.

L PANAIURE said that experiments with tie gun . had been made which fully proved its great value and power, but he thought there was no necessity for conveying a piece of ordnance of such enormous weight and calibre to China. He was not prepared to give a pledge that the gun should he used in China. The reason the gun was not sent out during the late war iu Russia wag, that before the car riage and other nec,isaries were completed, the war was happily brought to a close. With regard to the second question, a gentleman of the name of East man had discovered certain improvements, which he bad patented, in the manufacture of guns of large size, and submitted them to the. Government. The subject bad been referred to a committee, who reported so favour. ably of the invention, that Mr. Eastman received orders from her M:jesty's Government for six guns. The guns had been received, and be be lieved that the principle upon which they were constructed was generally approved. The guns could undoubtedly have been c.st in th's country, but as Mr. Eastman possessed a patent, he had a perfect right to oast tLe eons where he thought fit.

Colonel FRENCH called the attention of the house to the closing of the committee room by the Rochdale Election Committee, on Saturday last, against members of that house. He was not aware that committees of the house had greater powers than the house itself possessed of excluding members from its proceedings. He alluded to the two modes of electing committees, viz., general and select, and he proceeded to refer to the course adopted by the Rochdale committee in excluding members. He denied their right to exclude honourable members, but he thought it better to defer to the wishes of the committee, and put a question to-night as to the privilege of members, He asked the Speaker whether the committee bad power di rectly or indirectly to constitute itself into a secret tribunal (Hear, hear.) Mr. HENLEY, as chairman of the committee, de• fended the course adopted by them as the one most likely to attain the objects of the house. The gallant colonel was informed that the committee had no wish to exclude hon. members of that house, but members themselves gave a remarkable confirmation of the propriety of the decision of the committee by asbtaining from entering the room. The object the committee had in view on Sunday had been attained, and the committee was now open for hon. members. The SPEAKER said that the rule had been distinctly laid down that members could not be excluded from the committee except on application to the house. ORDER OF VALOUR. In answer to a question from Colonel FRENCH, Sir B. HALL said that be made provisions for pro viding as much accommodation as possible for the distribution of the order of valour by the There Queen on Friday next in Hyde-park. would b o oa e c re e centre compartment for the Queen , and two th the corps the right and on the left to accommodatettast end present, diplomatique, the officers of !a distinguished laymen, and militarey p officers, including the relations of those who were to receive the deco ration. Independant of that there would be two wings or open CO 1/3 partments north and south capable of holding 7,000 or 8,000 pers . .ons The admission would be by ticket tobe applied for at the Quartermaster General's office, Horse Guards. Any peer or member of Parlia ment desirous of attending, must make application be fore Wednesday evening. Independent of the accommo dation he had mentioned there would be a large space devoted to the public. In answer to a question from an hon. MEMBER, Sir B. HALL said the accommodation would he the same for ladies as gentlemen. Any gentleman desirous of taking a female friend—(laughter)—or any female member of his family, had only to make that intimation to the Quartermaster-General, and he had no doubt tickets would be forwarded him.

(IRELAND), Mr. MACARTNEY moved for returns of all convicts sentenced to transportation or penal servitude, confined in the several county gaols in Ireland on the Ist day of Nov., 1856 ; specifying the date of conviction, age, and period of sentence of each convict : of all other pri soners convicted by a jury and undergoing punishment in the several county gaols in Ireland on the Ist JAY of SUPPLY. On the motion for the house going into committee of supply, Viscount RAYNHAM alluded to those cases of ag gravated assaults on women in today's paper, and said that he shouhi move for a committee of inquiry as to the working of the present law. Sir G. GREY said that the only remedy against these assaults was elevating the morals of the lower orders, and he had received a letter from one of the police magistrates stating that those assaults had de creased since the passing of the present act. The subject dropped. NATIONAL GALLERY. Mr. LOCKE asked if the report of the committee di-eiding on the site for that gallery had been received, aed if so when it would be laid on the tale of the house ! Lord PALMERSTON said he was not aware that the report had been received. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it had not yet been received. The house then went into committee of supply. [LEFT SITTING.] ANOTHER NEW CLIPPER SHIP FOR AUSTRALIA. It would seem (says the Liverpool Daily Times) that it is almost a daily portion of news, to chro nicle new ships despatched for the land where gold groweth, and it was well said some time ago, by one of the most extensive shipowners in the trade, that the fleet would increase daily, and he would. be glad of it. This prophecy has all but been ful filled within the last few years. If the trade be tween this and the colony, and vice versa, had not rapidly increased, we should not have (at least weAily) to record the introduction of the fine ves sels that wo describe. This week again that pleas ing task falls to our lot. We have to mention the name of the Albion (and an appropriate name it is), a clipper announced to be despatched by the well-known house of Tapscott and Co., in this month, from Liverpool for Melbourne. In the abstract a fine ship is a pleasing thing to look at, hut when she undergoes a thorough inspection, and. all her beauties are examined in detail, then in deed to the landsman the wonder is how such float ing worlds can be so elegantly constructed and. fitted for the intended purpose. The Albion is truly a noble ship to look upon, and, without disparage ment :to the numerous vessels in the trade, she may be said to be as fine a model as any that skims the blue waters, and, as her namesake is the pride of all lands, she may not inaptly be called " Al bion, the pride of the Ocean." A few words about her construction and materials may be offered. here. She is built of the best Virginia and live oak together. The workmanship, as will at once be observed, is of a Tory superior description, and. a combination of strength and symmetry has been accomplished. Her dimensions are as follows—her length 200 feet, beam 38 feet, and depth of hold. 25 feet ; her registered tonnage is set down at 1,400, but it is said she will carry about 2,500, as her stowage and carrying capacity, on light . draught, very great, as proved by her voyage here, which was also a remarkably quick and successful one. The advantage of experience has rendered the accommodation for passengers by this ship of a superior order. Of the grand sa loon much need not be said, as it is complete in all respects, having lounging, smoking, bath, and re tiring rooms attached; it is, howev er, limited in ex tent, as the great portion of the ship is destined for the comfort and conveyance of second class, inter mediate, and steerage p assen g ers. To this impor. taut and always most numerous c l ass of emigrants the greatest attention has been paid by the owner s . The second cabin is a fine poop house, usually se t a part in other ships for firstclass passenger s . This is amply an d elegantly fitted for ab ou t 1 00 passengers , and is over 8 feet in height, w ith the best mode of ventilation, and as much light as if a house on shore. This Compartment is also well provided for with closets, b a th rooms, &c. all superbly fitted with furniture b ot h f or use and ornament. The between decks are fully 9 feet high in the cler, and here, t oo , passengers are pro vided for in everyrespect, and th e i nterme di a t e a nd steerageinhabitants ship will have nothing more h m t or i e s portiono f o f r t t l h i e a n noble accommodation she affords, and the attention that has been bestowed on everything conducive to he alth and comfort on a sea voya An y o n e inspecting the vessel willbea r ou t these obs . ervations.
