Foreign compli cations and possibly ministerial embarrassments at home influenced the market. In the discount market to-day there was an increased demand, and the lowest scale was 44 per cent. At the Bank the transactions were of average character. The French rate of exchange shows weakness, and it is thought that in the course of a few days, remittances of gold may possibly be resumed. No gold was taken to the Bank to-day.—Times. The funds opened this morning with decided heavi ness, and a fresh fall of Ito per cent. was at one period quoted. In the afternoon, however, more firmness prevailed, and the closing quotations were above those of Saturday. Although the demand far money in com mercial channels was again considerable, and 41 to 41 per cent. were the general rates for bills of a high class, the amount of business at the Bank was limited. In the Stock Exchange the rate for short loans on consols was 4 per cent. The newly-announced Thames and Mersey Marine Insurance Company was received with great favour. The shares opened at to 1 prem., and had risen at the close to t prem. Owing to the remarkably strong character of the direction the appli cations are expected to be very large.—Daily A r tiVS. In the LONDON MARKET for FOREIGN Sroclis to-day business was almost at a stand, but values on the whole were better supported. Of the Turkish Bonds the New Sixes only have been dealt in, those for money at 59; t and and 59 and 601- for account. Mexican Three per Cents. have been taken at 211 and 21i. In the LONDON RAILWAY SHARE MARKET, to-day, there was little activity, but prices have partially recovered from the recent depression.

In the House of Lordi' yesterday, the royal assent was given to the bills read a third time and passed the previous day. The report of the Bankrupt Law Amendment (Scotland) Bill was agreed to. The Public Improvement Bill and the Common Lodging-houses (Ireland) Bill passed through' committee. The Marquis of Clanricarde moved for returns respecting the treatment of the natives in India by European planters. He further presented a petition from natives of India . After some discussion, in which Lord Ellenborough advocated certain radical reforms, the motion was agreed to. In the House of Commons yesterday, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, in reply to various questions, said that it was not intended to deprive the holder of the wholesale wine license at £lO lOs of any privilege he possessed at present. Mr. Griffiths asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether the French Government had intimated that, under certain contingencies in Italy, France would claim further territorial compensation. Lord John Russell said no. In answer to Mr. John Locke, Lord J. Russell said that no information had reached the Govern ment to the effect that Russia had concentrated troops on the Pruth, or the Turks at Widdin. A despatch had been.received stating that in the opinion of M. Thouvenel any action in reference to the present state of Turkey should not be on the part of any single Power, but of the five great Powers in concert. In reply to Mr. Had field, the Chan'cellor of the Exchequer said that he intended to introduce a bill to authorise inland -bonded warehouses. Mr. Slaney moved a reso lution to the effect that the Government or Parliament ought to take steps to inquire how places of recreation may be provided and secured for, the people, which was negatived without a divi sion. Lord Haddo moved a resolution condemning the exhibition in schools of art of nude females, which, after some discussion, was negatived by 147 to 32. The house then entered on the subject of turnpike roads and bridges, 'and Subsequently on the condition of the gun-boats, which ended in nothing for the present. Lord Palmerston par tially defended prize fighting, but did not object to enquiry. Some Irish business then occupied the attention of the house to its adjournment. Some of the Ministerial journals are still denying the _right of the House of _Lords to refine its assent to the bill_ for. repealing the paper * thity,—as though any legislative body would ever, with any reason or justice, be required to Assent to a measure it not only did not approve, but was convinced would be mischievous. " If," it i's absurdly argued, " the repeal of the paper duty-is a mistake, it is a mistake for which the Comraoris, not the Lords, are responsible, and whict - the Conunons," not the Lords, will hereafter have to repair by imposing some new tax in its stead." But this would only hold good if legisla• tioii on the subject were exclusively and entirely in the - hands of the Commons. The Lords are responsible if once they give their assent to it. Could the bill be passed into law without the assent of the Lords, the case would "be different. But the Lords are asked to give .it,their legisla tive sanction, and approval; and this they may grant or Withhold, according to their judgment, and at their discretion. It is all nonsense, then, Ito say—as we see it said—that "the Commons havedeCidesl that the duty ought to be repealed; and it is with the Commons, not with the Lords, that the deciiion properly rests." It is with the Commons, not with the Lords, that measures of taxation mist originate, and must first be deterinined Upon ; the Lords cannot, nor do they ever attempt to do so. But when any bill of the kind comes up to them for their assent, although they might not originate, and cannot alter, they may yet reject it. Such is their undoubted con stitutional right ; and it would be monstrous were it otherwise. Why, if the Commons had it all their own way, as it is contended they ought to have, they might some day, in a Radical-Reformed Parliament more especially, pass a bill imposing the whole taxation of the kingdom on the Lords, and exonerating themselves and the whole com monalty of the reel4:ll And, according to the Radical reading of Parliament gy rights and privileges that is now so unscrupulously put forth, the Lords must of necessity assent . to a bill thus confiscating their own• property ! lt is quite true, we admit, that "the House of Commons, not the House of Lords, is the' keeper of the public purr.

SERIOUS .ACCIDENT TO THE NEW SCREW-STEAMER FALCON.—The splendid new screw-steamer the Falcon, a Glasgow and Londonderry trader. belonging to the City of Olasgow steam-packet Company, got on a reef , on Saturday last, known as Patterson's Rock, at Sanda Isle, near to the Mull of Cantyre, where she still remains.

In all severe pains in the joints or muscles, after due fomenta tion with warm water, the soothing action of this Ointment is ,most remarkable; it seems at once to lessen inflammation, ease pain, reduce the swelling, restore the free circulation, and expel the disease. In these complaints, indeed, Holloway's Ointment and Pills are an infallible specific. The Ointment should be rubbed as near the part in pain as the patient can bear; it is absorbed and directly conveyed to the diseased textures, where, acting on nerves, vessels, and guiders, it will arrest disease and. again establish healthy action. The aperient qualities of the Pills have the happiest effect in assisting the Ointment. 41 The latest edition. Just published. Sent free per post for three stamps, or may be had on application.

But it it true that the House of Lords it; obliged to give its assent to any bill whatever of4hich it disapproves, and the effect of whicit is convinced, would be injurious to the public interests. The apprehensions we havfe taken occasion to express in 4hese columns, of another disturbance of the peace of Europe, would. seem to be becom ing, more and more confirmed .every day.., The, louring state of the political atmosphere on the Continent has begun to be regarded with great uneasiness, we learn, in the city of London : the commercial advices received there from all quar ters telling of the paralysing effects of the genen I distrust. The subject has been prominently noticed in the City Articles of the morning papers. In that of the Times it is remarked that " although the belief still prevails that a new war was not included in the plans of the Emperor Napoleon for the present year, the doubts whether events may not be hastened by accidents daily increase ;" adding that " the allegation from St. Petersburg that Russia is again beginning to threaten the Turkish Government, and to excite the Christian population of that country, serves to recall the existence of a secret agreement with France." That of the Morning Herald observes upon the reports in circulation " respect ing the' views of France in connection with Italy, the probable rupture of the alliance, and the advent of fresh mercantile disasters ; " and remarks, that " the state of foreign political rela tions, coupled with the doubt of the maintenance of power by the Ministry, caused many large operations, which were increased when the lower quotations from Paris arrived, and then the markets seemed to be in a most doubtful condi tion." And that of the Daily News expresses apprehension at the prospect of the Sicilian insurre6tion resulting in the extension of the Italian kingdom of Victor Emmanuel ; since, " in such a case, the French Imperial Government has no idea of permitting this new aggrandisement of an ambitious neighbour to become a danger to France, and the Paris press is already instructed to prepare the public mind for a further serious demand for territorial compensation. A new war may well, therefore, be apprehended. Let us hope_ and trust that _England may not be involved in it. It appears from the news just received from the United States, that the Democratic party's great convention at Charleston has ended in smoke. Its object was to determine upon a calk:. didate for the Presidency—the election for which is now -drawing near. But it broke . up without being able to agree upon an object of its choice. Mr. Douglas, of Illinois, it seems, could only obtain some 150 votes ; whereas 202 votes were necessary for the occasion. The slavery question was evidently the stumbling block again. Not that Mr. Douglas is an " Abolitionist ;" but he is not a sufficiently out-and-out slavery man tO . _suit the prejudices, and, as they suppose, promote the interests of the Southern States,—nine of which had, in fact, seceded, and formed a con vention of their own. Thus there are now four distinct parties, if not five, in the field, - each seek ing a separate candidate, and prepared, no doubt, to go all lengths, when the time camel, to carry his election. The other three parties to which we allude are the , Republican - • party, the Abolitionist party, and the Independent Unionist party. Now that the Democratic party is split in two, we suppose the Republican will have the best chance of carrying the day ; and though not altogether abolitionist, it is not one that will favour slavery, or in anywise promote its extension. An important alteration, it would be observed, is to be made in the Wine Licenses Bill, in the House of Commons. As it originally stood, the metropolitan police_ magistrates were to be exclusively empowered to grant the licenses in Middlesex—not the county magistrates, as else where ; and so strongly was this invidious distinction condemned, that at length the Chan cellor of the Exchequer said that as the feeling of the House was in favour of the Middlesex magistrates, he would undertake to alter the clause to that effect on bringing up the report. At last the Irish Government has been aroused, it would seem, 'to a sense of duty, the Irish secretary, Mr. Cardwell, having announced in his place in Parliament, that the attention of Govern ment had been called to the collections of money being made in Ireland for the use of the Pope and to enlistments for the Papal army,—proceed ings which he admitted were entirely irregular, and to stop which steps would now be taken. There are further accounts, it will be seen, o 1 Garibaldi's invasion of Sicily ; but they are stir to some extent unreliable as to their details. appears that importations of arms and amuni tion had been effected for him, on the southern coast, several days before his arrival. Palermo has been the scene of another insurrectionary demonstration. THERE is some consistency, it must be admitted, in the great sticklers for Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Reform Bill seeking to set aside the authority of the House of Lords on the question of the repeal of the paper duty. Their ideas of Reform are virtually_ those of Revolution. They want to con fine the whole legislative power of the realm to the House of Commons; and no Reform Bill will ever fully satisfy them that does not give a pre ponderating influence, in the election of that House, to what theyeall "the people "—that is the populace of the large towns. They are anxious for the passing of the measure now before Parliament, because they see that it will bring them a few steps nearer the end they have -in view,—that of giving an ascendancy to the democracy. Of course, a body like the House of Lords, in such a system as they thus seek to establish'would be quite out of character. Their democratic House of Commons must be at once an exclusive and absolute assembly. It must be a thorough delegation from " the people ;" and in order to execute their high behests, it must be altogether unshackled and uncontrolled by any other power. They care nothing about the Con stitution providing for its own preservation, by each part of the Legislature being secured in the exercise of the powers assigned to it, from the encroachments of the other parts. " This security," says a high authority on Political Philosophy, "is sometimes called the balance of the Constitution; and the political equilibrium which this phrase denotes, consists in two contrivances, a balance of power, and a balance of interest. By a ; balance of power," it is explained, "is • meant, that there is no power possessed by one part of the Legisla ture, the abuse or excess of which is not checked by some antagonist power, residing in another part." now, this balance' it is that they seek to upset—this political equilibrium they wish to destroy ; and having once accomplished this, the democracy, of course, would reign supreme. It is further forcibly argued by the same eminent authority we have quoted, that one great use of nesting an hereditary nobility with a share of legislation, is t 9 stem the progress of popular fury that very kind of popular fury, for instance, which has so unfortunately, as it Is now acknowledged, committed a majority of the present House of Commons to a rash•Reform . Bill, and an extravagant Budget. For, "averse to those pre judices which actuate the minds of the vulgar; accustomed to condemn the clamour of the popu lace ; disdaining to 'receive laws axed opinions from their inferiors - in rank ; they will oppose resolutions which are founded in the folly and violence of that part of the community,"—whose wishes are so often anythinitittAte results of sober reflection, or the dictates of sound' discre tion. For is it not still too generally found, that " what is:urged as the public opinion is, in truth, but the opinion of a few craftyleaders; that the numbets'who join in the cry serve only to swell the sound, without any accession of judgment, or exercise ,Of understanding ; and that oftentimes the wisest councils are overborne by tumult and uproar." So that we may very reasonably, indeed, conceive occasions to arise in which the commonwealth may be saved by the reluctance of the Lords,. to adopt the caprices of the Commons, or yield to the popular vehemence in their behalf. The opinion entertained of Mr. GLADSTONE'S present position in commercial circles has already been ascertained to be anything but favourable to his eventual success as a financier. Even the merchants' circulars are noticing this. " The announcement by Lord DERBY," says one we see quoted in the city article of a London paper, " that although he will offer no obstacle to the French treaty, he will oppose, by every effort in his power, the repeal of the paper duty, and thus save £1,500,000 to the revenue, has created a great sensation, mingled with anticipations of ` the possibility of a Ministerial crisis. Mr. GLAD STONE, apparently, has become suddenly unpo pular in the House of Commons, but the Conser vative party have doubtless preferred to defeat . his proposals in the Lords, where an adverse division would give less pretext to the Cabinet for a dissolution of Parliament. Possibly Mr. GLADSTONE'S resignation might • solve the diffi culty." . Neither from the terms of thiS notice of the subject, nor the suggestion with Which it concludes, is it to be inferred that the defeat of the Government upon this financial question would be regarded by the mercantile community as anything to be regretied,—rather, indeed, the reverse. But our Radical Reformers think otherwise, financial Reformers, and Parlia mentary Reformers • alike. They are, in fact, very much one and same body ; for in both capacities they find ,that they can advance their republicanising devices. The House of Lords, then, must be the nation's hope on both these queStions. The Upper House must check and control, as it is at once its high privilege and its solemn obligation to do, the mischievous measures of the Lower. The Satur day Review has well remarked, that " the diffi culties of the Reform question arc sufficiently serious without noisy attempts to supersede dis cussion by intimidation. All parties have, by their want of foresight or of courage, brought themselves into an uncomfortable and untenable : position. There is now a probability that an other year-will .elapse -before a final decision is adopted, and every politician will have become wiser through the experience of the present session. As in numerous other cases, the waiters on public opinion have been left behind by its - . current. The vague desire of innovation, which had long been a chronic affection, has given place to the strongest feeling of political caution which has been known to the present generation. Thou sands of Liberal politicians have been frightened by Mr. BRIGHT, and hundreds have been im pressed with a deeper uneasiness by the language of Mr. GLADSTONE." Equally serious are the difficulties of the Finance question ; and neither with it must there be any " noisy attempts to supersede discussion by intimidation:" The Lords are asked to assent to a measure of Finance, which they must of necessity bring under discussion, just as they would any other measure of le&isla tion submitted to them. And if the result of their discussion of it should be the conviction that it is an undesirable, because a mischievous mea sure, England has a right to expect that they will fearlessly do their duty by rejecting it. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.-YESTERDAT JOHNSON V. GALLAGHER AND ANOTHER.—The argu ments in this case were resumed yesterday morning, and extended over the whole of the day,—The decision of the court was deferred. ARTILLERY VOLUNTEERS. It is understood that the Lord-Lieutenant, and Lieutenant-Colonel Morris, C. 8., inspector of artillery volunteers, will be at the North Haymarket at half past seven o'clock this evening, and wish to see all the companies that can attend there. THE ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS. OPENING OF THE SEASON. Now that the cold and gloomy days of winter have really passed away, and glorious summer has come forth to gladden the hearts of all who can enjoy the pleasures of out-door recreation, it is gratifying to observe that this highly-popular and fashionable resort is to be opened for the season on the 21st instant. With laudable spirit and enterprise, which the public cannot fail to appreciate, the directors, have already effected great, alterations and im provements. An entirely new and enlarged orchestra has been erected, which will be occupied by a greatly aug mented band of musicians. Those who indulge in Terpsichorean exercise al fresco will be glad to observe that the dancing stage has been renewed upon a much larger scale. The subject of the pictorial representa tion—the Destruction of Pompeii—will afford a splen did opportunity for an unparalleled display of those amazing effects which can alone be presented in such places of artistic amusement. The talented Lauri Family will grace the theatre during the opening week, and a succession of novelties will no doubt main tain the attraction. The noblest group of lions in Europe will be found here in high condition. The other attractions are too numerous to name in detail. Altogether, this season of the Zoological Gardens promises to excel all former ones in brilliancy and success. THEATRE ROYAL. MR. AND MRS. CHARLES KEAN. LOUIS XL Last night, as we anticipated, the Theatre Royal was crowded in every part of the house, from the gallery to the pit, by one of the most fashionable and enthusiastic audiences that have graced this fine house for many a day. The sensation produced by the first performance of this great historical play was, if possibly, still more intensified by its repetition, Awl we have Tery. lade doubt that all who desire to witness the greatest dramatic representation of the present day. mutt lose no. time in securing their , seats, for long before Thursday night every seat that can be bespoken will be taken. On Wednesday last we - ile - voted so much space to a description of the character of " Louis X 1.," that it is unnecessary for us to travel over the ;tame ground again. Mr. Beau, last night, again sustained the arduous character with unblunted skill and unflagging spirit. Three times — at the end of the second, fourth, and fifth acts —he was loudly called' for, bat the great actor was too much engrosied, if not too 'fatigued, to be able to answer the .early calls.' On his entrance after the fall of the curtain, the housand_roae and made a perfect ovation of applause amid waving of handkerchiefs and smiles that shone from many fair and not a few moist eyes. The words of the play are written in the form of prose, and, although they often rise to the region of poetry,—they, for the most part, require the actor's skill to convey their full import and bearing, and although we' had Marked a few of the more striking passages for illustration, on second thoughts, aud also in consideration of a pressure on our space, we think it better in the meantime to forbear,—and say to our readers, go and see as well as hear en Thursday night.' To-night " The Wife's Secret " will be repeated. Sir Walter Amyott and Lady Ereline are anion the very best of those choice characters which they have made especially their own, FUNERAL OF MR.

PARIS, May 15. The Moniteur of this morning announces that on Monday next the Senate will discuss the petition concerning the import duties on foreign iron. The Presse has received a second avertissnzent for an article which appeared in that journal on the 13th instant, signed " Solar," representing France as an accomplice of the foreign coalition which overthrew the First Empire. The warning states that this article is a calumny on the country, and is wounding the national feeling. The Pays announces that the Grand Duke Nicholas was received by the Emperor this morning. the usual religious service, the body was consigned to the grave, amid the regret of all present. When Mr. Inspector Horn returned to the Police Court, he was addressed by Mr. Raffles, who said he was sorry he did not know of the funeral taking place that morning. Had he been aware of it, he would have adjourned the court, in order to give all the officials an opportunity of attending the funeral. Mr. Mansfield held Mr. Clough in the highest estimation, and so did he (Mr. R.) also, and so great was Mr. Mansfield's respect for him, that he intended to have gone to bid him good-bye when leaving for London, but having been prevented, he wrote to Mr. Clough, bidding him good-bye. All the magistrates had the greatest respect for Mr. Clough, and he (Mr. R.) wished every respect to be paid to his memory. Mr. Black, senior attorney practising in the court, said he knew Mr. Mansfield had the greatest respect for Mr. Clough ; so had he, and all who knew him. He quite agreed in the observations of Mr.:Raffles. THE ROBBERY OF £ll,OOO. FURTHER PARTICULARS. Yesterday, a lady-like young female, named Martha Wilde, was brought before . Mr. Raffles, at the Police Court, in custody of Sergeant Spiddall, a London officer, on a charge of being concerned in the robbery of £ll,OOO, in bills, &c., belonging to Mr. Haigh. Mr. Aspinall (barrister), instructed by] Messrs. Lowndes, appeared for the prosecution. He said—ln this case you will remember that two men, named Lee and Jay were brought before you on a charge of having stolen a number of bills, the property of Mr. Haigh. It was supposed that a letter was sent to London about the same time that contained the property. A London officer, who was here on duty, went to London, and had a communication with the Post-office authorities, and on Monday morning the officer went along with the postman to the house of the person to whom the letter was addressed, and that person was the prisoner. She opened the letter in presence of the postman and the officer, and took another letter out of it, and, on examination of the enclosure, it was found to contain the whole of the property stolen. He (Mr. A.) would just offer as much evidence as would enable a remand of the prisoner to take place until the men were again brought up.—Mr. Spiddall, the London officer, stated that in consequence of what took place here on Saturday (we published the details yesterday) I went to London, and on Monday morning I went with the postman to a house, No. 7, Friendly-place, Bancroft East, Mile End-road, where the postman inquired for the person to whom the letter was addressed. In a few minutes the prisoner came down stairs and said the letter was for her. The postman requested a receipt, which is always demanded for a registered letter, and she got a pen and ink and signed the receipt " Martha Wilde." She then opened the letter and took out this letter. The letter was from the prisoner Lee, and directed her to take care of the contents of another enclosure, and to secrete it until his return. Out of 'that letter she took this parcel, and then I took both letters out of her hand, and told her I was an officer. The parcel contained all the bills stolen. She said it was very ungentlemanly to take the letter from her, as it was written by her husband. I asked her husband's name ? and she said Lee ; when I said, you have just signed your name as Wilde! I asked what her husband was ? when she said, I will not answer you any questions. She objected to my opening the parcel, saying it was not directed to her. The parcel was marked on the back "to be secreted until Igo home." That parcel contained all the stolen bills. I, then sent out for Mr. Haigh, who was convenient, and he identified all the bills, which amounted to over £ll,OOO. In a drawer in a bed room of the house we got this likeness of one of the men who is in custody on the charge. Mr. Haigh was called, and said: These bills are my property, and were stolen from me on Saturday last. I put them in my hand (thus), and put my hand into the tail pocket of my coat, and held them so. I went under the piazzas of the Exchange, and, as it was raining, I just took out my hand, for a moment, and at once I forma the bills were gone. These are all my bills. The prisoner was asked if she had anything to say ? and she replied nothing. She was then remanded to this day, when the other prisoners will be brought up along with her. LATEST NEWS.

MARSEILLES, May H. . _ Letters from Naples to the 12th instant state that on Tuesday last a demonstration took place at Palermo.

The garrison had been ordered to remain in their barracks. Fresh rein forcements are about to be despatched. A pro clamation had been published, signed by the governor of Sicily, Prince Castellicole, stating that in view of the grave and sanguinary mis deeds, and of the plundering which had taken place at Cemina, Petrolia, Sottona, Caccamo, Vicari, and Portecilo, the carrying or detention of arms by any bands is prohibited, THE EXPEDITION OF GARIBALDI. TURIN, May 14. During the landing at Marsala four persons were killed. It appears that arms and ammuni tion were disembarked. Other arms coming from the Levant were landed several days before on the southern coast. The French journals of last night publish a letter from one of the leaders of the expedition written on the 7th of May at Talamona, a fortress on the • Roman frontier, where a landing had taken place for the purpose of procuring provi sions. An order of the day, issued by Garibaldi, on board the steamer Piemonte, is also published. The expeditionary corps assumes the old desig nation of Chasseurs of the Alps. Their war cry is the same that resounded a year since on the Ticino. Italy *and Victor Emmanuel !" The mission of this corps will be as it ever has been, based upon complete self-denial for the regeneration of the common country. The Chasseurs of *the Alps will serve their country without any other help than that of a stainless conscience. This is fol lowed by details of the organisation of the corps, which is formed into six compan4s. Garibaldi's first aide de camp is. Colonel Purr : Sistori is chief of the staff. The next document is a pro clamation signed by Garibaldi, which contains the following passages : " Italians,—The Sicilians are fighting against the enemies of Italy ; and for Italy to help them with money, arms, and especially men, is the duty of every Italian. If we abandon the brave sons of Sicily to themselves, they will have to fight the mercenaries of the Bourbon as well as those of Austria, and of the priest who rules at Rome. Let the people of the free provinces raise their voices in favour of their brethren who are fighting. Let them send their generous youth to where men are fighting for their country. Let the Marches, Umbria, Sambine, the Roman Campagna, and the Neapolitan territory, rise so as to divide the enemy's forces. If the cities do not offer a sufficient basis for insurrection, let the more resolute throw themselves into the open country. Let us arm. Let us fight for our brothers. To-morrow we can fight for ourselves. A handful of brave men, who have followed me in battles for our country, are advancing with me to the rescue. Italy knows them. They always appear at the hour of danger. ' Italy and Victor Emmanuel,' that was our battle.cry when we crossed the Ticino; it will resound amidst the burning rocks of Etna. As this prophetic battle-cry re-echoes from the hills of Italy to the Tarte' f an Mount, the tottering throne of tyranny will fall to pieces, `and the whole country will rise like one man to arms. Then let as, at one blow, put an end to our secular misfortune. Let us show the world that this is truly the land once trodden by the Raman race. , FLO.RENCF , FLORENCE (via' Marseilles), May 12.

He further presented a petition from natives of India praying for legal reform, that higher offices should be open to them, the claims of native Princes adjusted, education and publi works forwarded and promoted, and demanding a Royal Com mission to inquire into their case. In referring to Sir C. Trevelyan, he eulogised the reforms introduced by that functionary into the government of Madras, but admitted the necessity of his recal. The Earl of ELLENBORMIE considered that to insure good government in India the Governor-General, in Council, should have the power of instantly passing any measure believed good for the public service, and of referring to a consultative council all questions affecting the laws, customs, and religion . of the people of India, The Duke of ARGYLE promised the immediate production of the papers demanded. As for the present Indian form of Government; it had been adopted after very mature delibera tion. The changes recommended by Lord Ellenborough would fall far short of the requirements cf radical Indian reformers. He defended the conduct of the ministry in the matter of Sir C. Trevelyan as absolutely necessary, at the same time it was in the highest degree painful. Lord LyvinEN, regretting that no practical result ' arose from these 'lndian discussions, thought that the powers of the legislative councillors should be more distinctly defined. The motion was agreed to, and the House adjourned at a quarter past seven o'clock.

Mr. JOHN Locxx asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs whether her Majesty's Government were in possession of any intelligence whatever to the effect that Russia had con centrated a considerable army on the Pruth, and that the ) Ottoman Government had assembled a corps d'armee at Wid din; and whether her Majesty's Government had been advised er any way informed that Prince Gortechakoff had. assembled the representatives of all the Powers except Turkey, and had stated that the cor dition of the Christians in the Turkish domi nions was every day becoming less supportable; and that Ai* Government hoped to obtain the concurrence of the other Powers, and would make a strong remonstrance to Turkel I upon the subject. Lord J. Rossaat said that no infers:nation had reached the Government to the effect that Rusaia had concentrated trOoPO on the Pruth, or the Turks it Widdin. As to the second part of the question, a despatch had yesterday been received frogs oar Minister at St. Petersburg much to the effect stated by the lion. member.

In reply to Mr. Hadfield, • The CHANCELLOR of the Excxxonts said that he intended to introduce a bill to authorise inland bonded warehouses. In reply to Mr. E.

Mr. MAcniNNoN seconded the motion. . Sir G. C. Lawia said that many efforts were male in this direction by private individuals, and under such circumstance .: the interference of Government might be prejudicial rather than otherwise. The motion was negatived without a division. Lord HADDO moved a resolution to the effect that the exhibi tion in schools of art of females wholly unclothed ought not to receive the sanction of a public grant of money to the schools in which such practice is adopted. He st'gmatised the P" a ., tice of exhibiting nude figures as immoral and disgre , l eful. Sir G. C. LFWIS said that it was contrary precedent for Government to interfere in the school , ' He did not believe that any one was corrupted by the - . e female models. Mr. ADDERLEY asked Wh s ler Lord Haddo considered the exhibition of Madaro.b :Tussaud as hi s id ea l of high art, or if he thought it possible to attain the aims of art without the means Mr. SPOONER Supported the motion, considering such exu l. , bitions clegraclini to the nation and i n j ur i ous to t h e mor als a' the students. Lord PALNIERSTON reprobated the nupaisitional interferen ce proposed by the motion, which would only place the boas* 1,4 endless difficulties. The motion waa negatived by 147 to 32.

H e p rocee d e d t o d escr ibe the prodigious activity in the French dockyards ; 3,000 men Wer e ready to enter the service at Toulon alone. Lord C. PAGET said that the Government, so far froth wishing to screen the contractors, had already considered the propriety of prosecuting the guilty parties, and the matter vg 33 " at that moment before the law officers of the crown; their °aurae was undecided, he must object to the protige ti c of the names of the accused parti es , w hi c h wou ld unfairly prejudice the case. If the p a rti es cou ld no t b e p r osecute d ' the Government was ready to promote inquiry in any other way. After some discussion, Sir J. SETMOUR said that he had ' e r many of the gurttogi which were perfectly efficient.. sr thought that the statements of the unsoundness have h e.° greatly exaggerated. Lord PALMERSTON said that the production of the lia r % es was a users matter of time. It was most unfair to Preiuic t the case, as well as unnecessary, f o r it wou ld be known ,, few days whether the prosecutions were to be underta ke — or not.

Lord LOVAINE moved for a copy of the correspondence between the Home-office and the directors of the Sou th Eastern Railway, relative to the conveyance of persons is the scene of a prize fight. Lord PALMERSTON deprecated the interference of Parliament in these matters. There were extenuating circumstances. atteniiing pugilistic fight..., and in France they were looked upon as among the strongest proof of the manly character of the British nation. There was nothing worse in an assenable_.ge of persons to witness such a scene, than a similar asse'aiblage to witness a balloon ascent, and certainty not naiat - e risk of life in the one than the other. He would not, however, oppose the motion . Colonel JOLLIFFS said that the Surrey magistrates had often, at some personal danger, endeavoured to stop these contests ; and, as a Surrey magistrate himself, he felt great discouragement at the sanction just given to:them by the heed of the Government. . • Colonel DiensoN, though a political opponent of the noble lord, could not but approve his love of manly sport s, . • The motion was agreed to.

The landlords of Engle - n u ,' and those of Ireland had adopted different systems} and hence the necessity for different legislation. As for the state of the country, it was not all cause for rejoicing, t here was much reason for regret and sorrow ; doubtless there Ica° much progress, but there was also much misery, and even starvation. There was no comparison between the state 01 England and that of Ireland. The appliances of were often most rude, the houses not tit to hold a dog, an d 5 e this was owing to the conduct of the landlords. The naiviSn' the peasantry were afraid to put forth their efforts. An election or some chance dispute might forfeit in a moment all the resaithes of the industry of an unprotected tenant. He admitted shorteonsir eeE's of the bill.
