LIVERPOOL COUNTY COURT YESTERDAY. ARE CASINOS A " NUISANCE ?"—CVECEOD v. SMITH.—III this case, John Henry Curchod, proprietor of the Queen's Hotel, Lime-street, was plantiff, and Edward Smith, of No. 11, New ington, dancing-room proprietor, defendant. The claim was for £5O, " for damages caused by a nuisance to the plantiff as an hotel-keeper, by the defendant having kept a casino, and having had music and dancing and assemblages of prostitutes adjoining the plantiff's hotel for the last six months." The damages were laid at £5O. Mr. Aspinall, instructed by Mr. Snowball, appeared for the plantiff, and Mr. Hime for the defendant. Mr. Aspinall, in opening the case, stated, that the plantiff paid £5OO per year for the building which heoriginally occupied and £l6O per year for part of the adjoining building which he also occupied, the defendant occupying the other part. The hotel was immediately contiguous to the railway station, and therefore in an eligible §ituation for business. Some little time ago, a large building was erected adjoining the original hotel, which the public were told was to be a freemason's hall— o great ceremony was gone through, and the first stone was laid by one of the most moral and religious men in Liverpool, the then Mayor, who would, he (Mr. Aspinall) thought, have been very much shocked,if he had known what use the building was to be put to. Something afterwards occurred by which its original purpose, as a freemason's hall, was diverted. Mr. Curchod had still the lower room of the new building, which was, perhaps, the largest coffee-room in England, divided into two parts, by a large staircase which led from the outside to the story above, which was the dancing room. Mr. Curchod at first occupied the whole of the new building, but after a time he ceased to occupy the middle room, and continued to be the tenant of the lower story, and also the bed-rooms above. He left the intermediate room in the hands of the landlord, who let it to a Mr. Woodhead for £l6O a year, for an exhibition of anatomical figures. That did not pay, and the landlord made an arrangement with the present defendant, who kept casinos in more places than one. It was now fre quented by prostitutes and persons of the lowest character, and these assemblages were a complete nuisance, inasmuch as they took place immediately contiguous to the chief en , - trance to the plaintiff's house. The dancing and noise were complained of most seriously, and would probably have been in some degree whatever the character of the persons was who assembeled there for the purpose of dancing. The up roarious noise was most intolerable in the hotel, and had made it impossible for plantiff to carry on his business, which must be against the law, for no person could be allowed to tarry on his business in such a manner as to injure his neighbours. The coffee-room had been rendered perfectly useless at night, the lamps were frequently broken, and a great portion of the ceiling had been shaken entirely away. Then the bed-rooms adove the dancing-room were also rendered perfectly untena ble from the terrible noise going on underneath; the same nuisance applied mare or less to the original rooms which Mr. Curchod occupied in the hotel itself. In fad, the nuisance was such, that if it could not be abated, the plantiff might, perhaps, have to shut up his house altogether. Mr. Hime,-on behalf of the defendant, took objection to Mr. Aspinall arguing that the plantiff had been injured in his business, on the ground that the action was only stated to be for a nuisance, and not for compensation far loss or damage. His Honour seemed at first inclined 'to allow Mr. Aspinall to amend the wording of his summons,hut after a legal argu ment, it'was determined that the ease should proceed on the question as to the nuisance atone, Mr. Henry Curchod, the plaintiff, , was then called, and stated that the paid at the present time , kBOO per annum for the 'entire premises that he occupied. He formerly also c ccupied the room in which the nuisance eemplained of took place,and paid his landlord £l5O per annum rent, and one-third of•any profits he might make by letting it for exhibition purposes. Hehad twelve bed rooms and four dressing rooms over the dancing room kept by the defendant, and a coffee room under .It. He had laid out £l5OO in furnishing and fitting ,np those ''rooms. The defendant had told him that he paid '2EOO per annum for the room he ,occupied. In summer., the 'dancing e.sually commenced about half-past nine o'clock, andin winter -about eight o'clock. He' found 70 or 80 persons, in the woom one night, about three months ago, when he went to -complain to Mr. Smith *beat the plaster falling. He thought about 100 persons would- attend there each night. He could not use his bed rooms andzoffee room whale thedancing was going on. He had seen Mr. Smith on the matter, and told him he should be ,obliged to 'proct , ed against him ton account of the nuisance. Mr. Smith replied brat, if hetil, he would drive him (plaintiff) to London. On being cross-eximined by Mr. Hime, the plaintiff ad mitted that be had a paled knowledge, 'when'Mr. Smith took the room, for what :purpose it was to he , ocettpiel. He also once entertaineda proposition that he plaintiff) should supply refreshments to thcroom, and havea communication re-opened with his house; .and admitted that he placed . a counter in it, and lent Mr. Smith a number of chairs. He had had an inter view with Mr. Mdorhouse, of London, theowner of the build ing, on the matter, and the latter wished(him to give up all the bed rooms over the casino. He had offered to do that, if Mr. Moorlsouse-would pay him what he hid laid out on them. Nothing came °Mlle offer. He had also offered to sell the de fendant 100 .chairs at 48. each, which was slot accepted, but that was not the reason why lie had 'brought this action against him. - Mr.John Westmoreland, joiner andbuilder, was next called, and stated that:he was employed by the , plantiff about two or three manthsrago to take up the floors of the bed-room imme diately over .the dancing-ro6M, .and .ptt down fifty bags of sawdust and•bags of ashes, under theiloeting, with a view of deadening - the :sound of the music. fit had not, however., answered. . . _ Mrs. Stocklran; plaintiff's housekeeper, proved that, for the last ten weeks i -che had occiaPied one of the bed-rooms over the saloon, and it was quite impossible to get any• rest while the dancing was going on, which was usually the ease till twelve o'clock and after. Catherine Maeguire, one of the chambermaids, also gave similar testimony. Henry Murphy, Inspector of Police; dep..ed that he visited uje 11- ' ll '"• l444 th and 19th of April, and kinna forty women of the town, and several gentlemen there. Music and dancing were going on. He was there again on the 23rd and' ALis of April, and found about the same number there. These visits were made at ten, eleven, and up to twelve o'clock; at which hour theplace was generally closed. He never found it open after twelve. He spoke to Mr. Smith, and told him what kind of characters the women were, and that complaints had been made, and proceedings would be taken against 'him. Defendant replied, " Let them try:: I am prepared. 3 know the man next door is complaining against use, but it is all because I would not purchase the 100 chairs from.hins. He knew that respectable men's wives and sisters will not .come, but the women who come conduct themselves ropirly, and Ido all I can to keep the place respectable.' • George Philip Woolfe i a waiter, proved that gentlemen would not remain in the coffee-room after the dancing began. Mr. Duckworth, architect of the Asuilding, deposed that he advised lir. Curchod to place the .sav-dust bags under the bed-room floor,: on account of the noise. Inspector O'Brien gave evidence similar to that of Lnspector Murphy. Mr. Mune then,on behalf of the defendant, submitted that there was no , case, no damage being named in the summons, and no specialdamTe shown. He argued that it was not an lawful to have antssie and dancing, and-lhat not a tittle of evi dence had been given on the score of immorality. His Honour thought there was nothing proved as to the nuisance being caused by prostitutes inside the rooms. The same number of decent young women andyoung men dancing there might have made the same noise. The defendant was Mot liable for any .noise they might make<outside of his pre 'raises. _ _ . _ . In the course of the .ease, Mr:Aspinall referred to the case bf " Van Sauitarf yv.l3alield," in which an action was laid for a nuisance caused toy the ringing. of 'wells, at untimely #►gars, at a RoMich•Convent at Clapham, London. Honour neferred•to this and severalother relevant cases, in ,one of which a boiler maker in this town was sued for a nuisance, and read ,cases to prove that a person could recover where a neighbour's dog caused an annoyance either by day or by akght. After the evidence had heen .gone through, and the legal arguments concluded, his Honour. said the case was too im portant to be hastily deci43d upon. If he . was prepared to hold that the proprietor. of the. Queen's Hotel was entitled to recover at all, he thought it would be merely a nominal damage any rate. He thought Mr. Aspinall had better amend his information, and-c,laim for only four months. It was quit' e.clear that he could.not recover for six months. He . thought the term Casino, as .applied to the dauoing-room in the present case, was misapplied; and that, whether it was frequentedsby persons of goodcharacter or not was of no im portance. Ile question was, could, any man so use his house for music and dancing, to the injury of his neighbour, without rendering himself liable to an action ? On that question he would give his judgment on the g4th instant. WHO SHALL DECIDE WHEN .(FLOILSE) DOCTOH2 DIS .A.OHEE ?—PARRY v. CLARlCE.—This,was a question of horse warranty. Plaintiff, a car-driver, bought from defendant a bay mare, for which he paid £9. She was warranted to be " sound, a good feeder, and a good worker." Plaintiff, on purchasing her, norticed that she was a•little lame in the•off fore-foot ; but he was assured that it was "nothing at all." He took the mare .to Chester on one of the race-days, and found her speedily " knocked up." He put a feed of oath before ,her, but she would not touch it. A veterinary surgeon afterwards examined her, and found that she had the glanders and phercy. Plaintiff, therefore, wanted defendant to take her back again, but he would not. Plaintiff then procured a certificate from a veterinary surgeon that she was incurable, and dangerous to keep, and, having sent previous notice to the defendant, had her destroyed. Defendant alleged that he had a veterinary surgeon's opinion that the horse was quite whole.; butane of his own witnesses, a coachman, admitted that he had remonstrated with his master for taking the mare back from Messrs. Busby, to whom he had sold her previous to the plaintilf,:and who returned her into his hands after keeping her two or three days, because she was too slow. He thought she might have contracted the disease while in their stables. His Honour said he thought the plaintiff had proved his ease; but he adjourned his judgment until the next Court in this month.

BANKRUPTCY COURT, YESTERDAY.--Mr. Williams, late a tailor and draper, in James-street, opposite •St. Geoige's Church, came up before Commissioner Perry on his last examination. The case was adjourned for a month, in order that an amend ed balance sheet might be filed. RE GEORGE CLAus.—On Saturday, at the Liverpool Bankruptcy Court, before Mr. Commissioner Stevenson, Mr. George Claus, of Crosby, a bankrupt, came up for judgment on the question of an act of contempt towards the court, in having torn up a search-warrant issued by his Honour. The Commissioner, taking into consideration the state of excite ment in which the bankrupt was in at the time, the ample apology he had offered, and the contrition he had expressed, thought the justice of the case might be satisfied by directing that the bankrupt be detained in the custoey of the messenger until the rising of the court that day. ASSAULTING A POLICE-OFFICER. - At the Police-court, on Saturday, John Evans, and John, his son, living in a court in Haigh-street, were charged with assaulting police-constable 139. On the previous evening the officer hearing a great dis turbance in the prisoners' house went in, and perceiving a quarrel, was about to take the younger one into custody, when the old one attempted a rescue. Another officer then came in, and a struggle ensued, in the course of which 139 was struck a severe blow on the head with a poker. It was pleaded in mitigation of the father's offence, that an excess of paternal feeling had urged him to commit an offence of which he would not otherwise have been guilty. The old man was dischargede but the younger was fined £5, or to be committed for thre, months, 003fMERCIAL and MONETARY NEWS. MONDAY NIGHT. LITTLE has occurred during the week to dis turb the quietude, or rather stagnation, which has prevailed ; and, notwithstand'ng the few accounts from the Crimea since the repulse of the 18th of June, the demand for investments on the part of the public has served to keep up the price of the Public Funds at a time when circumstances might have otherwise had a depressing effect. There is the new French loan of £30,000,000, which has just received the sanction of the French Chambers ; and the French Government has also consented to guarantee a Turkish loan of £5,000,000. Money is, howevei, abundant, and the rate of discount on first-class paper is still below the minimum rate fixed by the Bank of England. The returns on Friday show a decrease in "the stock of Bullion to the extent of £150,451 as compared with the previous week, and a diminution of the reserve of unemployed Notes to the amount of £747,785, arising from an increase of discounts, as shown in the aug mentation of " other securities," by £643,486, and the increase of Notes in circulation, £623,420. Foreign Exchanges are, on the whole, favourable, though Gold, in moderate quantities, continues to be sent to Paris. The arrivals of specie during the week have been large, but are more than balanced by the exports. The total imports amount to nearly £450,000, and the shipments are estimated at about £700,000, of which £5OO was in silver. The gold by the last vessels from Australia having been deliverable at once, some por tion has found its way into the Bank ; but, had the delivery been spread over four or five days, the pro bability is that all would have been sent abroad. The shipping returns of the Board of Trade for the month ending the 31st of May have been issued, and exhibit a large increase in the general employment of foreign vessels :--- ENTERED INWARD. 1854. 1855.

The consumption has been greater than was expected, especially of Spruce Deals ; and the import having been much less than last year, an im provement in price has been the result, which will only be maintained by a short import. The auction sales during the month have been well attended, and considerable quantities disposed of. Of Baltic Timber, the arrivals during the month are 10 vessels, 3,151 tons, against 8 vessels, 2,721 tons, for the corresponding period last year.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES. MANCHESTER .—There is considerable dulness in the mar ket again this week. After the subsidence of the small ex citement in the Liverpool cotton market at the close of last week, this market relapsed into the state of quietude it had previously assumed, and on Tuesday a total absence of any thing approaching animation was evidenced. Below the re duced rates that prevailed at the early part of the previous week, spinners and manufacturers were not inclined to go; whilst both the home and foreign houses appeared very in different about operating, and offered lower rates. Since Tuesday, under the influence of a further decline and con tinued dulness in cotton, concessions have been made for yarns and goods which have led to some transactions, but these instances are by no means general, and the market closes with rather more irregularity, and, at the same time, with but little appearance of an increased or steady demand. At the same time, it is becoming pretty evident that prices are again approximating to the point that may be considered pretty safe, and at which buyers are likely to operate with confidence. Spinners still continue to have an advantage over manufacturers. Whilst goods continue to be comparatively very dull of sale, there is rather more doing in yarns, both for India and the Continent, as well as the Mediterranean. Goods are only purchased where low prices are accepted; this in ducement being required before sales can be effected. Such sales—and they are not many or large—as have been effected of India goods would appear to be at 'ruinous rates, and sub mitted to to get rid of accumulating stocks. The Greek houses continue very inactive, their udvices not being of a very 14w:irable nature. In other gasses of goads much dul ness prevalls.—Manchester Courier. ROCIAJALE.—No change in the flannel market. The wool market continues firm and the demand steady. Iit"DDERSFIELD.—Our market has been tolerably active `more people about, and a decidedly better feeling for the 'future. Prices are still very firm, with, if anything, an up• `ward tendency. LEEDS.—Prices are steady, and the mills continue to be 'pretty well employed. A number of buyers have been down during the week, and business has been rather brisk in the warehouses for the bon% trade, but there has been little doing for the foreign trade. BRADFORD.—WooIs: The supply of wool in the market in creases daily. This remark applies to all descriptions except colonial. Prices rule firm. Noils and blokes are in greater plenty, and the prim has not advanced to the extent of long and combing wools.—Yarns : Spool yarns are in good demand, and buyers lravelo wait for the spinners before they can get supplied. Prices Are consequently firm, and still looking up ward. Where •contracts are made, the terms are higher by 6d. to 9d. per gross over last month's quotations. In reeled yarns the shippers have been less active.—Pieces : A steady business doing in this branch of our trade ; goods, indeed, being generAlly made to order. NOT TING EA M.—Until it is seen what the established price of yarn may be, hosiers are necessarily holding off buying yarns to niake goods except at enhanced prices, .which spinners feet compelled to demand in the present state of the cotton market. •Ole general state of both the hosiery and lace trades is such as not to call forth any special remarlethis week. LEiCrSTEß.—Business continues about as last reported. Tsrs Liverpool postmen diseluarge their duties - this week in uniform. MR. HAROLD LITTLEDADE has accepted - a seat at the Board of the Great Western, and attended a meeting of direc trrs en Thursday. TILE British and North American Mail steamer Canada, Commodore Judkins, sailed 'hence for Halifax and Boston on Saturday, with 100 passengers and a full cargo. WILLIAM Lawson, manufacturing-chemist at the Apothe caries-hall, Colquitt-street, 'died, on Friday night, from the effects of injuries on the head, mused by falling out of the upper warehouse door on'the previous Saturday. 'DAMAGE to the extent of £1,500 was caused by fire in a , warehouse, in Hurst-street, in 'the neighbourhood of New Wapping, on Saturday - morning. The premises belong to Messrs. R.

Woineg OF sAN EXICIRANT &W.—Accounts have just been received of the wreck of the English ship Lochmaben Castle, Captain Turnerovith nearly 600 souls on board, on a formidable. reef known.as the Bird. Rocks, in the Gulf of St. Lawreuce. She was.a first-class ship of 1,600 tons, and left Liverpool in the latter 'end of May for Quebec, with 557 passengers, men, women,.and children, and a cargo of rice, &c. On the uth ult. thick hazy weather at in, and she ran upon the Bird Rocks. Signals of distress -were fired, and the greater part of the, cargo was thrown overboard. After an entire day s suspense, -a bark, the-Sophia M'Kenzie, Captain Greenhorn, of London, came in sight, and hearing the signals bore down,and the captain-consented to receive the emigrants. 210 women and children were first taken from the wreck on board the bark, when night et in with a heavy gale and thick fog, and Captain Greenhorn, for the safety-of his vessel, was obliged to tear away and proceed to Quebec, where the wo men and .children were. landed. The- latest -accounts speak of the captain, .crew, and remainder of the passengers being landed on /3y , ron Island, some 15 miles from the rocks. The ship and cargo, it is feared, are a total loss, but both are insured to a large amount. EMIGRITLONa2OSILIVICEPOOL.—The number ef emigrants , viho left Liverpool for all foreign ports during the quarter ending June 30,..is 43,880, being a.decrease of 40;350 on the .4erresponding ,cluarter of 1854. The sailings to Australia show a corresponding diminution with the decrease to the United States and NOrth American ports. Two vessels of the • " Mersey" line proceeded to sea on Tuesday,; the Monteagle, Captain Lorby, for Melbourne, with X2O passengers.; and the Theodore, Captain Davys, for Adelaide, with 15 passengers. The Constance, Captain Christie, ,of xessrs. Henry Thomas and Co.'s " Black Star" - line, is now in the river, and will sail in a day or two with nearly 200 passengers and a large cargo; the Africa, Captain O'Neill, of Messrs. Magee, Levingstone, and Wghew's "Liverpool" line, will go out of the Prince's Dock into the river, on . Thursday-; the Albatross, Captain . Geves, of Messrs.

S'osx.e.GE,TO.4,IISTRALIA.—About,a year ago a A3d. rate of postage for letters not exceeding half an ounce was adopted between this country and the Australian colonies ; on the understanding that the colonial governments would adopt the same rates. It seems, however, that the colony of Victoria has Called to do so, and imposed a is. rate. Last month notice was consequently issued by the Post-office, intimating that the rate of postage would be increased from this country to that °dolly to ls. under half an ounce, and so on by increase of weight, and signifying that the postage must be paid in advance. To all the other Australian colonies the postage con, tinues 6d., as before, and the payment in advance is optional. Owing to the compulsory payment in the case of letters to Victoria, more than 10,000, which were intended to go by the Champion of the Seas on the 4th instant, have been returned, through the Dead Letter-office, to the senders. The parties inconvenienced consider this a grievance, and ask why should the prepayment of letters be made compulsory to Victoria,when to all our other colonies it is optional. But it is to be presumed the colony have not only failed to accept the sixpenny arrange ment, but also to make such provisions as would enable pay ment on this side to be dispensed with, and that the case is one in which the London Post-office has no alternative. AGGRAVATED ASSAULT ON THE POLlCE. — Yesterday, two men, named John Cowan and James Carthy, were charged before Mr. Mansfield with a violent assault upon police-con stables 413 ,and 74, on Sunday night, at the upper end of Vauxhall-road. From the evidence, it appeared that, about a week or ten days before, police-constable 413 had charged two companions of Cowan and Carthy with an assault upon him, which was clearly pgoved, and the prisoners, in that instance, were sentenced to imprisonment for three months. The two present prisoners, it would appear, along with some others, had resolved to inflict vengeance on the constable, and for this purpose had entered into a combination against him. On Sunday night, about 11 o'clock, as he was going about on his beat, a woman came up and asked if he were a Welsh police man, and he said he was. She then told him he had better take care, as five men were lying in wait to kill him. He said he should take care, and was proceeding with his exami nation of the doors of shops and public-houses. While doing so, the prisoner Cowan rushed out from behind a door, and made a violent blow at him with a brick, which, fortunately, did not strike the witness on the head, otherwise it would certainly have injured him very seriously. As it was, it hurt him much upon the shoulder, and falling on the ground broke in two. Witness closed with Cowan, who was assisted by Carthy. His comrade 74 then came to his assistance, and the other three men of whom the woman had spoken ran away. Cowan and Carthy were given into custody, and the witness stating that he knew the men and where they were to be found, and also believed he could find out where the woman lived, Mr. Mansfield adjourned the further hearing of the case until issued for day. In the mean time he directed warrants to be for the apprehension of the three men, and dewed that the attendance of the woman might be secured. LATEST NEWS. THE WAR. We have advices from Constantinople to the 28th June:— The Turks had abandoned Kars, and were concentrating their force at Erzeroum. The Russians were advancing, and the Turkish generals demanded reinforcements. The Presse d'Orient reports that the Circassian garrison of Anapa is harassed by a Russian force; that the Circassians have not been able to regain the military road, and that they are encamped to the number of fourteen battalions on the heights above Soujak-Kale: It was said that the Russian General Korniloff was march ing at the head of 20,000 men against Yenikale, where 8,000 of the Allied troops were well entrenched and ready to receive him. _ _ The Russian reinforcements sent into the Crimea have been compelled to return through want of provisions. Forty large pieces of ordnance have opened fire on the Rus sian ships in the harbour of Sebastopol. It was rumoured in the Turkish camp that Suleyman Pacha and Ismail Pacha were to march against Ismail. General Bosquet has resumed his old command. General Canrobert will shortly proceed to the assault with his division. VIENNA, July 7.

News from the Crimea by this arrival is to the 30th of June . Despatches leave at 9 a.m. DESPATCH FROM THE LATE LORD, RAGLAN. The Gazette of last night contains a despatch, dated 26th June, from the late Lord Raglan, enclosing the weekly medical report, dated 26th, and list of casualties : Cholera and bowel complaints had been on the increase within the last two or three days, but neither the admissions nor deaths had been so marked as to attract special attention, though numerous enough to create uneasiness. The admis sions to strength (taking the whole force) during the week had been in the ratio of 10.50 per cent. However, the deaths to strength are in the ratio of 0.68 per cent.; but 1,659 of the admissions during the week were from wounds alone. The Sardinian troops had suffered much more from the epidemic than the British troops. Great attention was paid to the cleanliness of the different camps. Lord Raglan reports with much sorrow the sudden death, from cholera, of Captain Charles Bowles, 10th Hussars, and laments the loss of Lieut.-Adjutant H. Marsh, 33d Regiment killed in the trenches on the 24th June. Numerical return of casualties on the morning of the 18th June :—Total, 1,473. Supplementary return of officers wounded on the 18th of June :—Staff-Major Stuart Wortley, Ist Dragoon Guards, slightly; Captain H. Stephenson, 18th Foot, slightly.

The Times' Paris correspondent writes :—A private letter from Berlin, from a Russian source, states positively that the health of the Emperor is in a bad state. It is believed that he is attacked by consumption, and a good deal of uneasiness is felt as to his progress. THE BALTIC DANTZTC, July 6.

The Liverpool Improvement Bill, the Liverpool and Birken head Docks Amalgamation Bill, and Liverpool Dock Bill were read a second time. Lord LYNDHURST inquired whether government was pre pared to give any information relative to the recent proposal of the Austrian government ? Earl GRANVILLE said the papers would be laid on the table in a few days. THE OATH OF ABJURATION BILL. Loid LYNDHURST gave notice that he should postpone the second reading of the Oath of Abjuration Bill from Thursday next to the following Tuesday. The Earl of DERBY appealed to his noble and learned friend not to proceed with the bill this session. Lord LYNDUURST declined to accede. The Earl of GRANVILLE said the hon. and learned member would have the support of government whenever he brought on the bill. Lord REDESDALE said the bill was really one for the admis sion of Jews into parliament, and he protested against such a measure being brought in at this period of the session, when the sense of the house could not be f a i r l y t a k en upon it. The motion for the second reading was postponed until to-morrow week. THE MAYNOOTH REPORT. The Earl of WINCHELSEA., after calling attention to the fact that the ecclesiastical titles, prohibited to the Roman Catholic prelates by the emancipation act of 1829, bad been used in the report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the management of the College at Maynooth, moved that an amended copy be laid upon the table with the illegal titles omitted. He characterised the use of these titles in such a document as an insult to the Protestant feding a the country. The Earl of HARROWBY, as one of the Commissioners, in sisted that there was nothing illegal in giving these titles; the illegality was in their assumption. The C omm i ss i oners had endeavoured to avoid tampering with the spirit of the act; but in a country where, from long habit and custom, such titles were in constant use, it was difficult to steer clear of all objections. _ _ _ A discussion followed, in which the Earl. of Derby, Earl of Rardwicke, the L o rd Chancellor, and Lord Campbell engaged, nearly all of whom recommended the noble Earl to withdraw his motion, as the object of it would have been sufficiently answered by the discussion.. The Earl of Winchelsea eventually withdrew the motion. ACCIDENTS ON RAILWAYS On the motion that the Accidents on Railways' Bill be read a third time, The Earl of EGLINTON moved the omission of the clause giving power to the Board of Trade to compel the construc tion of bridges to prevent lines crossing public roads upon the level. He objected particularly to the retrospective operation of the clause. Lord STANLEY of Alderley supported the clause, and after considerable discussion the house divided— For the clause Against Majority for After some further discussion, the bill was read a third time, and passed. The other bills on the table were advanced a stage, and the house adjourned at 8.10 p.m. HOUSE OF COMMONS'. MONDAY. The house met at four o'clock. In reply to Colonel SMYTHE, Sir B. HALL stated that it was not his intention to _proceed this session, with the Public Health Bill; he should, however, propose to go into committee, pro forma, to-morrow (Tuesday), for the purpose of inserting in it several amendments suggested, and that the bill should be reprinted, and circulated during the recess, previous to its introduction next session. This course would render it necessary to introduce a short bill to continue the General Board of Health, and also to attach a medical officer to the board. Mr. HUGH ADAIR, on behalf of Mr. Shafto Ad4r, gave notice that, when Mr. Roebuck brought forward his motion, for a vote of censure upon the ministry, he would move the following amendment:—" That this house is of opinion, that the counsels which determined the expedition to the Crimea were consistent with a bold and sagacious policy, just to our allies, and commensurate with the objects of the war and, further, that perseverance in a similar policy alone can affo r d hope of securing an honourable and permanent peace." In reply to Mr. Milner Gibson, Lord PALMERSTON stated that the government had determined to lay upon the table of the house the whole of the correspondence bearing upon the Austrian proposal, to which the right hon. gentleman had already referred. The correspondence was now in preparation, and in the course of a couple of days he hoped to lay it before the house. Sir G. GREY, in reply to a question from Mr. Liddell, said it was a legal question from what quarter compensation should should decline to answer it from his place in parliament. be paid for the damage committed on Sunday, and therefore he The right hon. Baronet, in reply to another question put by Sir J. Pakington, said no orders had been given to withdraw the police from any part of the town on Sunday. In answer to Mr. Crawford, Mr. PEEL stated that the ques tion of a general exchange of English and French prisoners for Russian was now in the hands of a court, consisting oanglish and French officers. Lord PALMERSTON, in reply to Captain Scobell, said the only cause of the delay in the institution of the intended new Order of Merit was the necessity for further consideration of the details. Mr. STAFFORD gave notice that, to-morrow, he should ask a question from the head of the government, whether Dr. Andrew Smith had retired ? and whether Dr. Hall still con tinued at the head of the medical department at the seat of war ? Mr. ROEBUCK gave notice that, to-morrow, he should move a call of the house for the 17th July. (Hear.) , Sir G. GREY, replying to Mr. Adderley, stated that eight or nine persons were arrested during the riotous proceedings on Sunday, Colonel PENNANT asked whether the occupiers in those parts of the town would be within the law if they associated themselves for the protection of their property, next Sunday, without being sworn as special constables. Sir G. GREY said, that, in the event of government having any reason to apprehend similar disgraceful proceedings next Sunday to those last Sunday, everyprecaution would be taken to prevent them, and to arrest the offenders, and, in doing so, they would be happy to concur with the inhabitants of the district, and to receive their assistance. ( Hear.) EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on the Education . ( Scotland) Bill, Mr. E. LOCKHART moved the recommitment of the bill, on the ground that some new clauses which had been pro posed on Friday had been omitted or altered. The LORD ADVOCATE declined to assent to the motion. A short debate took place upon the question, and the house divided : For the motion Against it Majority against —66 The house then proceeded to consider the bill as amended, when the Lord Advocate brought up some clauses on one which provided that if any complaint should be made to the School Committee, in regard to the religious or moral teaching of the master, the board should direct every enquiry to be made into the complaint by the School Committee, the inspector, and such other person as the board might appoint. Mr. Blackburn, Mr. Scott, Sir A. Campbell, and others opposed the clause. The house then divided, and the numbers were— For the clause Against it 64 Majority for -54. The clause was consequently added to the bill. Mr. VANSITTART then moved a clause, to the effect that, no person should be compelled to pay an assessment to a public school who had paid, during the year, a sum equal to such as sessment to any school supported by voluntary contribution. The SPEAKER, however, decided that, in point of form, this clause could not be moved at this stage of the bill, and it was consequently withdrawn. Lord W. GRAHAM then moved the insertion of words in the first clause, to the effect that, all the members of the Educational Board should be exclusively Protestants. The LORD ADVOCATE opposed the motion, on the ground that it was inexpedient to introduce such words. The house then divided — For the motion Against it Majority against On clause 27, Mr. ALEXANDER BASTIE moved the omission of the words " By the master," the effect of which would be to- confine religions teaching to the ministers. 112 -68 The LORD ADPOCA.TE said he could not accede to the pro position, as it would introduce divisions in religious teaching. The house divided : • For the motion Against Majority against —9s The remaining amendments were then disposed of, and the bill was ordered to be read the third time on Thursday. CLOSING PRICES. .. 912 j (Bank Stock Exqr. Bills, L. & S Ommum... 98 100 88 90 82* a THE LAW OF PARTNERSHIP. On the motion that the house go into committee' on the Partnership Amendment Bill, Mr. ARCHIEA.LD HAEITIE moved an amendment that the house go into committee that day three months. The hon. mem ber contended that the system of limited liability which it was now proposed to introduce would not be attended with any benefit to the public, and that the existing system had worked well. 116 read a number of long extracts from a pamphlet on the subject, which were listened to with some impatience, when at length, Mr. E. BALL rose, and spake to order. Submitting that no hon. member was justified in reading a whole pamphlet. Mr. HASTIE contended that he was strictly in order, inas much, as he was only following the example of the right hon. gentleman who introduced the bill. Several hon. members exclaimed he read only extracts. Mr. HA-HIE replied that he was reading only extracts. (A laugh.) He proceeded to read two other long passages, and was commencing a third, when Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR rose to order. The hon. member for Paisley might almost as well read to the house the whole of the works of Adam Smith, or, at least, he might just as well introduce all:the arguments, pro. and con., of Adam Smith. Why did not the hon member make a speech of his own ? (Great laughter.) The SplAKEß'said, the hon. member was quite in order in quoting extracts, but, at the same time, the practice was one of degree. (A laugh.) It certainly was not regular to quote a whole book. (Rene w ed l aug ht er .) t Mr. HAsTIE /then proceeded with his speech, quoting no more, and in a few minutes he had concluded his observations in support of the motion. Mr. MrcRELL seconded the motion, contending that no case had been made out for altering the law, and that it was not demanded by the mercantile community. Mr. JOHN MACGREGOR defended the system of limited liability and said that, though the bill was not the best that could have been constructed, he should give it his best sup port ;it was only opposed by capitalists. Lord Overstone opposed it; but would his father have done so w h en he was travelling through Wales as an Unitarian mi n i s t er ? pp 3r oirt. m Mr. M ACGREGOR, Mr. ed bill. W. BROWN, and one or two other memb ers, the motion was nega ti v ed without a division, an d th e house- went into com mittee. After Mr W speeches il s ° f ro m os um After disposing of two clauses, the CHAIRMAN, on the motion of Mr. HORSFALL, reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Thursday. Lord Raglan's Annuity Bill was read a second time. The Bills of Exchange Bill was read a third time ; and on the question that it do pass Mr. VA.NCE moved that 'the period after which execution should issue be extended from 12 to 16 days. Mr. HUTCHINS Opposed the motion. The house divided—For the motion, 24; against it, 43: majority against, 19. The bill passed. The house then proceeded to consider the Coal Mines Inspec tion Bill as amended ; and on the 9th clause, Mr. CAYLEY moved that the words "serious personal injury" be inserted. Sir G. GREY opposed the insertion. The house divided—For the motion, 68 ; against it, 74 : majority against, 6. The bill was ordered to be read the third time to-clay (Tuesday).
