The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a firm appearance, at the full rates current last week. The sales were 6,000 bales. The Rail way Share Market was inanimate, and pric , ..s were rather lower. A favourable retur❑ has been issued from the Bank of England for the week ending the 6th inst., a large increase in the bullion and reserve of notes beinc , exhibited. The former, it was generally anticipated, would show some augmentation, owing to the influx of gold and the sales made to the authorities ; and the next statement will pro bably report a further material accession of wealth. It is satisfactory to observe the gra dual accumulation of " notes unernplo3ed," and if the improvement continues the Directors may soon be enabled to modify their discount regula tion•, but there is still an unfavourable movement in the " °Vier securities," which now reach more than nineteen millions sterling. As a set off against this, however, it may be remarked that the public and private deposits have received an important addition. The revenue collections are being made with vigour, and the total now standing t 3 the credit of the Government exceeds seven millions. The principal items, and the changes they present are as subjoined. : Active Circulat►on Decrease Bullion Increase Rest Increase Public Deposits Increase Other Deposits Increase Seven-Day and other Bills 664. 467 Decrease Government Securities Other Securities Increase Notes unemployed Increase The official return of the export of bullion from the port of London for the week ending Thursday last is as follows : Gold Coin ... Hamburg ... 21,500 Ozs. and 6,0001. „ ... Belgium ... 130 Ozs. „ Bars... Boulogne ... 34,000 Ov. Silver Coin... Belgium ... 800 Ov. f I, ILmburg ... 1,200 Oza. There is a good demand for money at fullyprevi ous rates, but there appears to be an absence of pressure. A special meeting of the Atlantic Telegraph Company took place to-day. W. Brown, Esq., iu the chair. It was stated by Mr. Ft esh field, the solicitor, that the ()Nut of the bill was to carry out the undertaking on new terms, making the locale of business in London instead of elsewhere. The chairman said the Government bad made this a sine qua non. It was not desira able that Government interference should take place in private companies, but for political pur poses it was deemed requisite by the Govern ment that they should, in this case, have such power, or they would give their support to another company. It appeared that the Govern ment would subsidize to the exteet of 14,0001. a-year, and that a concession would be given for 25 years, the capital being 350,0001. Some oppo sition was made as to a few of the clauses by Mr. Moffatt, M.P., and others, but the bill was eventually carried, the amendment of Mr. Dixon baying been withdrawn by him. The market for public st Jeks has been very dull, and scarcely any change has occurred in prices. The Bank return although favourable has had no effect upon the quotations, and speculation is very quiet. Consols have been 93i f ex-dividend, and the last official price is 93i. For the opening they are 93L- The New Three per Cents. are 922 and the Reduced 921 4. The March Exchequer Bills are 2s. discount. Bank Stock is 212 to 214.

The Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and a fair business has been done in a ,me of the principal lines at a slight improvement. Great Western advanced 10s., Lancashire and Yorkshire ss. to 108., North-Western 1/., South- Western 55., Midland ss. to 10s., North-Eastern Berwick 55., North-Eastern York 55., and South- Eastern ss.

(From, the Leeds Mcrcur,y of this day ) LEEDS, Tuesday.—We have no noticeable change in the market this morning. There has been a fair at tendance of buyers, and an average Tuesday's business ban been transacted principally in heavy goods and Mixtures for the fall trade. HUDDERSFIELD, Tuesday.—The market presented, on the whole, a rather improved aspect. There was through out the day a demand for fancies of a better description. Towards noon the representatives of the London houses effected some purchases in low goods. The transactions, however, in all departments were very limited in ex t Jut. In wool no sensible IT/Illation has taken place. ONVicei t'ANCY BAZAAR.— This baziar went off with great idat at Willis's Rooms, both on Thursday ano yesterday.

Cleopatra, iron screw, merchant chartered steamer, ar rived on Thursday evening at Spithead; and the Mauritius iron screw chartertedsteatner (Yo. s)"arrived this moroing at Spithead. Th e l a tt er vesse l left' Gravesend at 2 p.m. on Thursday, and arrived 'at Spithead this morning at 7 o'clock. She has' lately undergone' some very extensive alterations and improvements suggested by, her chief engineer, Mr. M•Nieol ; • awl ca,•ried' into effect by the Messrs. Summers, Day, and Co., civil engineers, of Sou thampton. Her quarter boats are fitted with Clifford's patent lowering gear, and her propeller is by Griffith. Oa her voyage round she was put on ler canvas to see the effect on the propellrr, and after an hoot's trial it was proved to the satisfaction of the owners and the com manding officer that it did not affect her an eighth of a knot an hour. The fact is of value to the public, and to the government in particular, on account of the enor mous expense saved by the brass frame work, which is a matter of necessity at the present moment to lower and hoist the screw, and this at an average cost to each of her Majesty's ships of war Of 15;00N- The Austrian ambassador and suite visited the Niagara, United States' steam corvette, at Portsmouth, on Thurs day, and also the Victory, which saluted his Excellency with 15 guns.. y, Major-General Breton, Lieut.-Governor of Portsmouth, entertained at Government-house on Thursday night Capt.

Tarleton, C.B. (18'5), which was paid off at Chatham yesterdaY, has been in com mission upwards of three years, having sailed from Ports- mouth in April, 1851. This vessel formed one of the squa dron directe I to proceed to the White Sea, and during the summer of 1854 was employed in the blockade of Arch angel. The crew have been extremely healthy, only one death having occurred. On the vessel being paid off yes terday Captain Tarleton addressed the petty officers and .crew, expressing his approbation of their uniformly good conduct since he had been in command. He also stated that Prince Albert and the Prince of Walerr had signified their approval of the good order and regularity which pre• veiled on board on the recent occasion' of their taking a cruise in the Eurydice from Osborne to Spithead. The Mariner, 12, sloop, commander W. R. G. Palliser (1856), was paid off at Chatham yesterday. She was com missioned at Plymouth in 1854, since which period she has been employed in the West Indies for the purpose of assist ing in the suppression of the slave trade off Cuba and the other Spanish islands. During the time she has been in commission one death occurred on board from fever, two men were killed by falling from aloft, and one man was accidentally drowned. The Mariner brought home super numeraries from the Orion, 91, Captain J. E. Erskine. A fter being paid off yesterday, she was placed in ordinary at Chatham.

SPAIN. The Madrid journes of the Bth have arrived. The Government was said to be very anxious that the committee to be nominated by the Congress on the bill on the Mires loan should be composed of its own partizans ; and M.

The examination of the budget by the bureaux of the chamber had com mence]. .Rumours .of a ministerial modification were once again current, but it is all-ged that the only foundation for them Vi as that Ge neral L'irsundi„ Minister of Marine, was con sid-red likely to accept th) post of captain general of Cuba, and that M. Gouzdez Bravo was to succeed him iu tie Cabinet. Marshal Serrano, it is stated, was per , 4isting in his design of resigning the embassy at Pais, and the Duke de Rivas was spoken of as his successor. At Seville attempts had been made to create disturbances on pretext of the dearness of bread, but they were prom; tly repressed. THE DIVORCE BILL. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—l have read with much pleasure the letter of your correspondent, "M. C. C.," in which she suggests that the ladies of England should raise a subscription for the purpose of presenting. Lerd Lyndhurst and Sir Erskine Perry with a testimonial, in the shape of some work of art or article of vertu, as an expression of the deep gratitude of our sex for the noble exertions of those gentlemen in our behalf in opposition to the many objectionable clauses in the Chancellor's Divorce Bill. I am one, I hope of many, who responds most cheerfully to M. C. C.'s proposal, and beg to cffer her my thanks for her admirable and well timed letter. lam sure that thousands of our country women will respond with equal cheerfulness. M. C. C. asks that some lady of position will give to her sugges tion a more tangible shape. I can only say, I shall be most happy to send my name and 201. subscription, whenever M. C. C., by advertisement or otherwise, in your paper, will do me the favour to say how I can communicate with her. —I am, &c., A LADY OF TITLE. ►PORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT RACES, FRIDAY.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at 5 o'clock. The Duke of ARGYLL presente I a petition for fur ther restrictions on the liquor traffic. The Duke of NE WCAS rLE prese ited a petition from Nottingham against the Sale of Pois 'us Bill. The petition was referred to the select committee now sitting on the subject. THE STATE APARTMENTS. Lord RAVENSWO,ITH drew the attention of their lordships to the extremely inconvenient arrangements to which ladies attending her Majesty's Drawing-room at St. James's Palace were subjected. He begged to ask the noble lord the President of the Council whether her Majesty's Governor-nt had given any directions towards remedying the inconvenience ? Earl GRANVILLE said tee Commissioner of Public Works had given clir,-..ctions for the preparation of plans for giving better accommodation. THIRD READINGS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the following bills were severally read a third tlne and passed : Ley's Divorce, Chepstow qaq, and Reversionary In terest Society. PRINCESS ROYAL'S ANNUITY BILL. This hilt passed through cimmittee.. THE CASE OE• 11& STUART. L^rd CLEMENTS asked her INtajesty's Minis ters why the pr ,tection of the police was to be removed ir ma David Stuart in the county of Leitrim, and why the Government required bins to emigrate Or otherwise to provide for his perAsnal safety, and to what extent the prosecution of Protestants was to be permitted? The noble lord then proceeded to impute partiality to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland in granting greater protection to Roman Catholics than Protestants. Lord GRANVILLE said the universal esteem in which the noble lord, the Lord-Lieutenant of Inland, was held was the best answer be could give to the observaions of the noble lord on his lordship. With respect to the question the noble lord bad asked, the circumstances were as follows :- Two years ago Mr. Stuarts house was brokenopen, and agun taken away. There being reason to suppose that an ill will against that gentleman existed the Government di rected that two policemen should reside with bim. (Hear.) He had given notice of his intention to emigrate, and directions were given, ordering the police to return to their quarters. Mr. Stuart, however, altered his plans and did not emigrate, and, notwith standing the expense, the Government had given directions for the police to return to that gentleman's house. There was no intention on the part of the Govern ment to remove the protection given to Mr. Stuart. Viscount DUNGANNON asserted that the Executive Government had displayed a decided partisanship in favour of Roman Catholics, and denied evenhanded justice to the Protestants. Lord CLEMENTS said that if their lordships would grant him a committee he would prove the assertions be bad made. Earl GRANVILLE said if the noble lord moved the appointment of a select committee, and proved to the satisfaction of the house that the charges were not frivolous, he should have no objection to the appoint• meat of such a committee. The subjeat then dropped. TRANSPORTATION BILL. The Earl of LIARROWBYthen moved that the house should go into committee on this hi', the object of which was to enable Government to comply with the wishes of the colony of Western Australia, and at the same time to obviate some of the evils at home to which the ticket of I,avd system had given rise. Lord CAMPBELL objected to the bill as being vir tually a scheme to make transportation ratber a reward for meritorious criminals than a punishment for the worst offenders. Lord GREY' could not agree with Lord Campbell in this opinion. He should support the bill on the simple ground that it retraced as far as possible the erroneous step which the house took in 1852 and 1853, and enabled the Government in future to make use of transportation to as great an f xtent as was practicable to relieve the country from the presence of a class of persons who had become dangerous to the peaceable and well-disposed part of the community. Lord CARNARVON thought that the Government took too narrow a view of the question, and was con vinced that many other portions of the British empire might be found as well suited for purposes of transporta tion as Wei-tern Australia. Lord DERBY thought the bill a very imperfect and uneatisfacory measure. It proceeded on no principle whatever, and left everything in a state of uncertainty. The house then went into committee, and the several clauses were agreed to. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. The report of the amendments to this bill was brought up. 'Lord REDESDALE said be had given notice of cer• tain amendments, the object of which %as to enable those of her Majesty's subjects who from religious con victions 6id not think themselves justified in asking for a divorce to obtain a jud►cial separation in cases of adul tery, and to authorise the court in such cases to punish the guilty parties. As the bill now stood the court bad not the power, unless a divorce was prayed for. He should not, however, press the amendment on that occasion. • The LORD CHANCELLOR said he had some amend ments tl propose. After clause 6he proposed to insert a clau- , e enabling the c urt to pronounce a divorce for a judicial separation in alt cases where a divorce a mensa Ft tboro might now be granted. By the 17th clause a judicial separation might be decreed after desertion for two years. It might however happe❑ that the absent party would return, and be in a position to Show tb:*t the desertion was involuntary on his part—that he had been imprisoned or cast on a desolate To meet this else, he proposed to insert a clause authorising the court to reverse the decree of desertion when it was shown that it had been obtained in the absence of the party, and tLwi there was reas ;nable ground for the de sertion. It zngtit sometimes happen that parties who had Len separated wuull come tigether agai❑ ; in such cases it was important to preserve the right of third parties who had dealt with the wife as a femme sole. He there fore proposed that a book should be kept in the court, in which parties should enter the fact of their return t cohabitation, and until that was done the creditors should retain all their rights against the wife. On clause 49, Earl NELSON proposed an amendment to the effect that the rerearriage of the parties after a divorce should be confined to a civil contract. By this bill they were proposing to repeal an ecclesiastical statute which at least professed to be based on scripture. Now, as the advocates of the bill put the scriptural argun.ent aside, it was but common justice that they should not seek for ecclesiastical means to carry it out. They could not ex pect that those clergymen who believd that these mar riages were contrary to the law of God would perform them. (Hear, hear.) Tne LORD CHANCELLOR hoped the house would not accede to the amendment of the noble lord, which proposed that marriages should take place before the registrar. The law having ,aid that these persons were no longer man and wife, he could ❑ot understand the scruples of those clergymen who said that the lam en acted what was unlawful, and therefore they would not co•'forna to it. The Bishop of ST. DAVIDS said that if the ques tion were simply argued with regard to the law of the church, he should feel great difficulty in saying that there could be a law of the church which was repugnant to the law of the land. But with regard to the law of God, it was impossible to override that, or that any law could affect religious scruples entertained on that ground. The avowed object and tendency of the en , -asure was to multiply the cases in which these marriages would be contracted, and he thought they were bound to respect the religious scruples of those clergymen who considered such marriages contrary to God's law. The Duke of ARGYLL said that the proposed amend ment would prohibit any clergyman, whether ho had scruple; or nor, from celebrating tbese marriages. ("No.") If that was not the effect of the aniendmer.t he was much mistaken. Tne amendment proposed to omit the words "marry again," for the purpose of in serting " marry in the office of the registrar or any build ing registered under the Marriage Registration Act." ft seemed to him that the amend uent was a step to wards the separation of church and state. The Bishop of OXFORD said the noble duke had for gotten the effect of the act passed in the last session o parliament, because that act met the question he had raised. The state of the law under that act and under this amendment would be this, that the marriage might take place in the office of the registrar ; but having taken place in the office of the registrar, the parties might have the services of a clergyman to superaid the religious form. (Hear, hear.) All pers ons therefore, who wished, might take advantage oftflihi.sact for the purpose of being legally married at tli office e b the registrar, and they might to this superati d reli gious ceremony, on the condition of tin ser vices of a clergyman who felt no r eligious scruples the cru, e ate ple a si , n performing it. But he thought it was manlike, politic, and in aocordancea withs only the wniee principki of religious liberty, to respect the ec men who thought these r emarria g es of those clerg to be sinful. Ile received a letter that day from a clergyman who belong ed to what was called the evangelical portion of the church, and who said that he and others of the clergy had strong objections to the celebration of these mar riages. To adopt the amendment of the noble earl would only be to follow in the track of the act of last session. He hoped, therefore, their lordships would adopt the amendment.. (Hear.) Lord REDESUALE supported the amendment. They permitted the Quakers to make an affirmation because they entertained religious scruples to the taking of an oath, and the scruples of the clergy against the perform. ance of these marriages were entitled to equal respect. (Hear, hear.) He confessed that if he were a clergyman he should object, with his views as to the indissolubility of the marriage tie, to marry these divorced parties. Earl GRANVILLE said he had no expectation, as at present advised, that the Government would be able to acquiesce in this amendment. The noble earl was willing that the registrar should ratify the civil contract, while the clergyman was to be relieved from the religious cere mony, as being opposed to the law of God. Was the re gistrar, then, to violate the law of God, while the cler gyman upheld it Aft , r a short discussion, in the course of which the Bishops of CASHEL and LLADIDAFF supported the amend ment. _ Earl GREY said that as the civil contract would be a sufficient legal contract, and as many clergymen bad scruples in this matter, surely the house °ugh! to pay some xespect to those scruples. It was admitted that the law of the land was Earamount,but eiill religious f3Clui,les should be respected, and they should remember that it was pushing religious scrsp!es too far that bad caused the terrible schism in the Church of Scotland. Ha hoped, therefore, that her Majesty's Government would reconsider their determination, and that in the meantime the noble earl would not press his amendtnent, but bring it up on the third reading, by which tiro,, be hoped that her Majesty's Government would have altered their minds. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER bore testimony to the number of clergymen in his diocese who objted to so lemniae marriages under the circumstances contemplated by the noble earl's amendment. He feared that if they were coerced in this matter it would be the first step towards a separation between Church and State, and therefore felt bound to support the amendment. Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY opposed the amendment, and put it to the house whether, if they gave the clergymen discretion in this matter, they would not open a door to the plea of scruples of conscience in various other matters which were imposed by the la v of the country. He complained of this attempt in a thin house to reverse a former solemn decision of their lord• ships. Viscount DUNGANNON denisd that the house was taken by surprise. The noble earl's amendment had been regularly placed nn the papers. Earl NELSON repelled the charge of surprise, not having written to his most intimate friends respecting the clause. He regretted he could nut adopt the suggestion of the noble earl (Earl Grey) opposite, which was a good one, if accompanied by any promise from the Govern ment to reconsider their decision. As that promise had not been given heshnuid feel bound to divide the triune. The LORD CHANCELLOR took a formal objection to the wording of the amendment, which he said would not carry out the purpose intended. Lord DENMAN opposed the amendment, and the house divided, For the insertion of the words— Contents .... Non contents 17 20-3 Some verbal amendments were added, and one or two notices were given for the third reading, after which the report was agreed to. The Bishop of OXFORD gave notice of his intention to move the third reading of the bill " that day six months," should his noble friend's (Lord Reclesdale's) amendment be negatived. Their lordships adjourned at 28 minutes past 9 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTBEDAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords amendments to the Invernes and Nairn Railway Bill were considered, and ordered to be read a third time. The Burslem arid Tunstall Gas, and the Wycombe Railway Bills were read a third time. The Great Northern (capital) bill was further consi dered, and ordered to be read a third time. ELECTION PETITIONS. The SPEAKER announced that the petition against the return of the hon. member for Athlone was otjec tionable, and the order for its discharge was read and agreed to. PIMLICO IMPROVEMENT BILL. Mr. smirs, the examiner of petition,' for private bills, reported that the standing orders relative to the Pimlico Improvement Bill bad been complied with. MARGATE WATER BILL. On the motion of Mr. FOSTER, the bill was recom mitted. THE ITALIAN LEGION. Major S. KNOX presented a petition from the mem bers of the late Italian Le4ion, complaining that the Go- vernment had broken faith with them. RAILWAY TRAFFIC ACT. Mr. GRIFFITH gave notice that he should bring in a bill to repeal the 17 and 18 Vic., chap. 31, commonly called the Railway Traffic Act. THE STEAM NAVY. Sir C NAPIER g-Nve notice that on the 7th July he should move for a rdturn of the number of steam vessels in each harbour, the numbe► of horse power, and whether high or pres-ure, and screw or paddle wheel, etc. Mr. LAURIE asked the Under Secretary for War, whether the regiments at and on their passage to the Mauritius had orders to proceed to China ; and whether the pay would be at the same rate as the regiments new quartered in India ; and, if not, why not ? He also re peated the question as to when the orders of the Medjidi will be i-sued. Sir J RAMSDEN said the troops on their passage to the Mauritius were only in the usual course of relief. The troops in China would only receive the usual pay paid in Hong Kong. The list of personae. titled to the orders of the Merlji•li would soon be published. mAri..iita6—ciins Day.) RAILWAYS.

Sir EDWARD KERRISON asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether it wag his intention to introduce amendments in the Reformatory Schools Bill, to render more effectual the process of ob taining money from parents for the maintenance of their children in reformatory schools? Sir G. GREY said he intended to give notice of a clause relative to payment to be introduced in the bill before the house. ELECTORS, &c. (METROPOLIS.) Mr. WILLIAM WILLIAMS moved for a return of the number of the electors in each of the Metropolitan boroughs and city of Westminster on the regii.ter of 1856, and the number of all houses rated to the relief of the poor, stating the number in each parish of the Flail boroughs and city, and the population thereof at the last census. Agreed to. HER MAJESTY'S DRAWING-ROOM. On the mutton for the adjournment of the house until Monday, Mr. G-. DUNDAS called the attention of the Govern. ment to the inconvenience experienced by ladies attending her Majesty's drawing room at St. James's Pa'ace, owing to the want of proper arrangements for their reception and departure. The faulty arrangements of which he complained bad been repeatedly brought before the public, and what should be a pleasing and cheerful duty was thus made a painful and distressing task. The hon. member contrasted the difference between the time of the Stuarts and the present age, remarking that what was ample in those days was now too small, and apartments then considered lofty and spa cious were now insigniacant and mean, and ho descanted in a most feeling manner on the sufferings of ladies who had to submit to crushing, and other inconveniences arising from want of space and better arrangements at her Majesty's Drawing Rooms. The hon. gentleman gave several illustrations from the suffering of that bril liant Court and assemblage of beauty, which no other nation in Europe could boast of, that took place at Eler Majesty's Drawing room on Saturday lest. Sir B. HALL rose, but was for some moments un able to obtain a hearing from the continued cries of "Bruce." The right hon. baronet said,—l have much pleasure in answering the appeal of my ben. friend, I believe that it is impossible to exaggerate the great in convenience experienced by ladies who attended the drawing room on Saturday. (Cheers) It must be recollected that the drawing•rooms are now held in the same apartments in which they were held many years ago, when there were only 100 or 200 assembled to pay their respects to the queen ; and it is perhaps known also that when these drawing-rooms were held the Queen was in the habit of going round the apartment, for wl.ich there was plenty of space, and noticing those whom she desired to honour. But instead of 100 or 200 persons, there are now upwards of 1,000 and some times 1,400 persons at many of the drawing-rooms, and although the dress of the ladies in former times was large, yet I believe at the present moment they as. cupy very nearly the same space. (A. laugh.) It is therefore utterly impossible that any comfort shoul I be experienced by those who attend tier Majesty's draw. ing-room', and lam happy to inform the hon. gentle rnan and the house that I have received instructions from the Government to prepare plans for the enlarge ment of the ace fitumodati.in of Sr. James's Palace (loud cries of "No ! ❑o l" •e Oh I oh !") and I hope I shalt be able to lay such plane upon the table at an early period. (Murmurs.) Lard J. MANNERS asked if the Government in tended making the necessary alterations without coming to the house for a vote of money. (Hear, hear,) Sir B. HALL said the plans were not yet ready, and that no money would be expended without first applying to the house. (Hear.) The subject then dropped and the motion for adjourn ment was agreed to. SUPPLY. On the motio' for the house going into committee of Supply on the Civil Service esmirnates. Mr. COBBETT called the attention of the bouse to the circumstances under which an order to build a work house was addressed by the Poor Law Board to the guardian- of the Preston Union, Lanchashire. The grievance complained of was of a purely local character. Mr. BOUVERIE, at some kingth, explained the course he bad taken in reference to the Preston Union, which he said was according to law, and the same as had been adopted in other similar ca-es. After some remarks from Sir G. PZCHELL, on what he called tee illegal conduct of the Poor-law Thard, in call ing upon ex officio Union guardians who rarely attended the meetings, to sign a requisition to the Poor-law Board, prayh g for the erection of a new w orkhouse, against the wish of the elected guardians and the rate payers, Mr. H. DRUMMOND said le hoped the Poor Law Board Would not be frightened at the complaints made against them, and he expressed an opinion that more power should be given them to interfere between the ratepayers and the necessary wants of the poor. T6e'subject then dropped. EXPENDITURE IN ST. JAMES'S PARE. Sir F. BARING rose, pursua nt to notice, to call th e attention of the house to the expenditure in St. Jam es ' s Park. He did not intend o n this occasion to discuss the propriety of any vote contained in the estimates. Such 11 course indeed, would be irregular it would h ave b een his duty to do this , if at all, in committee. His object was to bring before the house a question which appeared to biro o f m ore importance than the actual mosey spent, he tne4pt that relating to the privileges of the house and toe course pursued by the Government. About a months ago, finding that some expenditure was going on in the parks not depending on any vote of Parliament, he moved for certain papers on tho subject. He did not at all complain of their not being forthcoming before, bu they had only been presented within a few days, and h was forced to bring the matter before the house now because the vote itself would be considered early in committee to-night. With regard to the facts of the ca , e he apprehended there would be no great difficulty. Everybody knew tbat certain works had been going on in St James's Park ; that the lake, as it was called, had been cleaned our, that the bed had been cemented and that conEiderabla expense had been incurred.
