TELEGRAPHIC NEWS. IBy British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph. IMPE RIAL PARLIAM EN T. (By British and Irish Magnetic Telegraph.) HOUSE OF LORDS-MONDAY• The House met at five o'clock. MILITARY EDUCATION. In reply to the Earl of Hardwicke, Lord Romuaz stated that, the Commander-in-Chief, a assisted by a council of three officers, had prep ared report on the subject of military education, which would be laid en the table of their Lordships' House. The schools at Sandhurst and Woolwich would be maintained' and officers would be enabled to get commissions in the artillery and engineere at Sandhurst as well as at Woolwich. STATE OF AFFAIRS IN INDIA. Earl Goy vimas laid on the table correspondence be tween the Indian Government and the Board of Contro relative to the state of affairs in India. MISCELLANEOUS BILLS. The Banff, MacDaff, and Tariff Extension Railway Bill, the Cork and Youghal Railway Bill, and the Glasgow City and Suburban Gas Bill, were read a third time and parsed. The Aleh - once Licensing Bill, the Representative Peers (Ireland) Bill, and the Registration of Long Leases (Scotland) Bill, were read a second time. The Crowded Dwellings Prevention 8.11 went through committee. The Joint Stock Company's Bill, after a brief discussion, was read a second time. THE TRiNSPORT SERVICE. the Earl of HARDWICKE drew attteniim to the mode of hiring tonnage for the Transport Service. He objected to the system adopted during the Russian War of hiring vessels by the gross tannage, and suggested that they should be hired by the registered tonnage, by which a great saving would be effected. Lord STANELY, of Alderley, could give no informat'on upon the subject, as the line of vessels was under the control of the admiralty. The Earl of ALBEKARLn regretted the employment of old vessels for the transport of troops to India. The vessels might lal.ve been made gcod ones, but as it was, there was one vessel in the list which had the reputation of making four knots an hour. Lord PANMURE stated, upon the authority of the Chair man f the East India Company, that the vessels were clippers, and he understood that that was the swiftest description of sailing vessels, It was originally intended to employ sailing vessels only, but in deference to some persons who had relatives in India, five screws had been taken up by the government. The Duke of NEWCASTLE thought the transport should be under the sole c:ntrol of the Secretary-at-War. After a few words fry m the Earl of Elleuborough, the subject dropped. THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY , JULY 15, 1857. TILE OVERLAND MAIL, The Earl of HARDWICKE asked whether any arrange_ ments had been made for expediting the India mails through France. He understood that the French govern ment sorted their own letters first, and until that was done the English bags were not allowed to leave the post.office doors. The consequence of this was that the English mails were delayed from twelve to twenty-four hours, while under a different arrangement they might be forwarded at once. The Duke of ARGYLE had directed his attention to tle important subject referred to, and was prepared to stale that in no instance during the last six months had the mails been delayed more than twelve hours. In Ftbruary the French government made an arrangement, by which, in case the India mail arrived within two hours after the departure of the morning mail, the Engli:h letters were forwarded by express. The subject then dropped. Their Lordships adjourned at ten minutes past seven. HOUSE OF COMMONS—TUESDAY. The Speaker took the chair at 12 o'clock, Mr. GLADiTONE presented a large number of petitions from the clergy uuty throughout the country in opposition to the Divorce Bill. Mr. WALPOLE presented petitions of a similar character from Kensington and other places. GRAND JURIES (METROPOLITAN POLICE DISTRICT) BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. On clause 1, Mr. BOWYER moved, as an amendment, that the Chair man do leave the chair. This bill was intended to repeal a part of the British constitution without due consideration and he was surprised that such a proposal emanated from the Conservative side of the house, the occupants of which professed to have so great a respevifor the ancient institu tions of the land. The hon. and learned gentleman (Sir F. Thcsiger) had fairly in , roduced the measure, but he (Mr. Bowyer) had reason to believe that that honourable gentleman now regretted that he had taken cherge of it. In cases of felony a person could not be tried without a bill from a grand jury, whereas a person might be indicted for misdemeanour without such a bill, facts which showed the policy of the law, which established the highest precautions by the institution of grand juries, and yet they were called upon on mere grounds of inconvenience and expediency to aboliih an institwion founded up an the highest principles of law. The hon. gentleman quoted largely from Blackstone in support of his views. He thought hon. members could not have any doubt as to the course Blackstone would take if he were alive, and a member of that House, He believed that the great evil to b e remedied in refereuce to this department of Justice was tee want of a public prosecutor, an evil which was PASSENGER LIST PER S.S KERSONESE.—Mr. Glasgoerl, I I not felt in Ireland, where there was a Crown solicitor ; or Mrs. G.

Mr. AYRTON said the second reading of the bill was slipped through at a late hour of the night, and, therefore, he thouuht the honourable and learned gentleman had no reason to complain of the opposition which was offered to it at its present stage. He cordially supported the amend ment, which, if carried, would prevent the bill from going any further. In many countries the people had nothing to do with the administration of justice ; but in this country a very different system had prevailed, and it was to the establishment of that principle tnat this country was indebted for the maintenance of its liberties. Mr. M.Manos said that Sir F. Thesiger had made a great mistake in supposing that there were stipendiary magistrates throughout the metropolitan districts. There were no stipendiary magistrates in the City of London, nor in those portions of Essex which were within the jurisdiction of the Central Criminal Court. He thought a great deal of the difficulty which was experienced in the Central Criminal Court would be removed if the sheriffs would secure the attendance of a higher order of gentlemen as grand jurymen than were now summoned. With regard to the principle of the bill, he thought it highly undesirable that the people should bs dependent upon the caprice of justices appointed by the Crown and the Attorney-General. Mr. W. WILLIAMS was of opinion that grand juries had been a greater protection to the libertie.4,:of the country than any other of its institutions. He hoped the house would strenuously oppose the bill, which he believed would be most mischievous in its effects if it should unfortunately p ISO. NT. COBBETT also oppose the bill• This was only the thin edge of the wedge which he believed was to be thrust much further. Mr. M. T. BAIRES supported the measure on the ground that it might be made very useful by amendments engrafted upon it in committee. Mr. Jona LOCKE, Mr. BRIEcon, and Mr. HENLEY opposed, and the Solicitor-General supported the bill. The Committee divided. The numbers were — For the motion Against .. Mr. M'MAtiox moved the p:)stponement of the first claw Fe. --- - Mr. W. WILLIAMS objected to the principle of the bill, and warned the House of the danger, if it wore sanc• tioned for the metropolis of extension to country districts. Sir F. TIIESIGER objected to the postponment of the clause. Mr. AYRTON supported the motion, and continued his remarks till the time for adjourning the committee. The business on the morniog raper was disposed of, and the sitting was suspended. THE EVENING SITTING. TIIE MAYO ELECTION. - MR. MOORE UNSEATED, Mr. SCUOLFIELD brought up a report from the Mayo Election Committee, stating that Mr. Moore was not clu.y elected for the County of Mayo, and that the last election, so far as regarded the return of Mr. Moore, was void. They also reported that undue influence and spiritual intimidation had prevailed at the last election to a great extent, and that the Rev. Peter Conway, and the Rev. Luke Ryan were the most active in this respect. BURY ST. EDMOND'S ELECTION. Mr. HARDING brought up the report of the committee upin the Bury St. Edmund's Election Committee. She committee reported that Mr. ilardcastle was duly elected to serve in parliament. TILE VALIDITY OF OATHS• Lord Jourt RUSSELL gave notice that, on Friday ne3+, he should ask leave to introduce a bill to amend the act of Victoria, entitled an act to remove doubts as to the validity of certain oaths. AFFAIRS IN INDIA. Mr. DISRAELI asked for further information as to the affairs in India, and also that, on an early day, he would fix a day upon which the House might express an opinion upon the subject. He suggested that if the Indian budget could be brought forward on Friday, a convenient op portunity would be offared for discussion. Lord PALMESSTON said the govenment ha 1 received the CleSpatelies frvui clo.tios to tho rcoen' occurrences in India, but they contained nothing more than aniunplification of the information received by tete aph. He would vs _ soon as possible lay pai ors on the subject before the House, and he thought it would be advisable to refrain from discussion till such documents were in the hands of members. In reply to Lord John Russell, Lord PALMERSTON said the government had made pre parations for sending to India a force larger than thw stated by Lord Canning to be necessary. In answer to Sir John Walsh, Mr. Ross MANGLES said no warning of the mutiny had ever been given by General Anson, and Mr. V. Smith in reply to Lord John Manners, said that no communication had been made by General Anson to the Government upon the subject of the disaffection in the Indian Army. FAIRS AND MARKETS IN IRELAND. Replying to Sir 11. VnitNon, Mr. H. HERBERT said that it was his intention to lay on the table a bill for the regulation of Fairs and Markets in Ireland, which would deal with the subjects of weights and measures, CIVIL SERVICE EXAMINATIONS. Lord Gooniucn then moved—" That in the op!. nion of the Howe. the experience acquired since the issuing of the order in council of the 21st of May, 1855, in favour of the adoption of the principle of compstition as a a condition of entrants to the civil service, and that the application of that prinCiple ought to be extended in con formity with the resolution of the house, agreed to on the 24th day of April, 185 G. He objected to the amendment placed on the papa by Lord Raynham, because it fettered the government, and appealed to the new parliament to adopt his motion in the form in which he presented it. Lord RAYNH AM moved, as an amendment, to add to Lord 0 oderich's motion the words —" And that it is desirable that the nomination of all persons desirous cf competing for vacant appointments in the civil service should rest with the heads of the departments in which those vacancies occurred. The amendment, not being seconded, was not put. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained that a system of limited competition had been applied to appoint ments to the Audit Office; Board of Trade, Civil Service Commission, the Education Depot, the Home Office, the Customs, the Inland Revenue, the National Debt Office the Office of Woods, the Office of Works, the Police Court in Bow street, the Poor Law Board and the Treasuary in England. In Scotland the system had been applied to the Registrar General's Office, and in Ireland to the Office of Chief Secretary to the constabulary, the Loan Fund, the Lunatic Asylum and other offices. The pinci ple departments to which the system had not been applied were the Admiralty, the Post-office, and the India Board. He trusted that after this information, the noble Lord would not think it necesary to divide the House upon the question. Mr. G. A. Hamilton, Mr. J. Ewart, and Mr. Adams supported the motion. Mr CLAY remarked upon the annoyance to members of parliament, arising front the system of political patronage, but denied that the appointment were made withithout regard to the ability of the applicants. Lord PALMERSTON observed, that the difference between the nable Lord and the government was so small that he did not think it worth while to divide the House upon He, however, accepted the motion only upon the noble lord's own interpretation—" That the principle of cony ' petition was better than single examinat;.on." After a few words from Lord GwEracu, in reply, the motion was egreed to. rRIVAT;tERING. Mr. LINDSAY moved kr copies of Mr. Marcus's letter to the French Goverament, in answer to the com muniee,tiotl of tke resolution of the Conference, upon the subject of Privateering, and cf any other paper or correspondence that might have passed between the Briti,h government and other powers on the same subject. He urged that private property at sea should be as much respected as private property on shore. _ _ _ After a short discussion, the motion was withdrawn. SUPPRESSION OF THE SLAVE TRADE. 'Mr. Charles Buxton moved that an humble address be presented to her Majesty, praying that she will be gra ciouslS pleased to employ all means in her power to put down the Afrioan Slave Trade, and to obtain the execu tion of the treaties made for that purpose with other powers. Lord Palmerston hoped the address would be carried unanimously, and promised that Government would give it full operation. The motion was carried unanimously. _ _ Mr. G. A. Hamilton moved for a select committee, with a view to the establishment of a system of competition for dietrict and assistant surveyors, and securing the best qualified candidates. Mr. H. Herbert agreed to the appointment of the corn. mittee, and the motion was accordingly agreed to. 31ISCELL&NEOUS BILLS. Mr. J. Butt obteined leave to introduce a bill to enable baronies or other districs in Ireland to give guarantee for the construction of railways passing through such dis tricts. Mr. Cowper brought in a bill to amend the Public Health Act (1848), and to make further provision for Town Improvements. ;Leave was also given to bring in the following bills A Bill to authorise the payment of clerks of petty sessions in Ireland by salaries instead of fees. A Bill to revise and continua for a limited time an Act to amend the Laws relating to Loan Societies. A Bill to authorise the inclosure of certain Lands in England and Wales A Bill to amend the Act 17 and 18 Vic., for the Vain ixtion of Lands (Scotland) Bill, to amend the Laws relating the payment of Land and Assessed Taxes, and Property itnd Income Tax`: ; ,:in Scotland. A Bill for Uniformity of Measute in the sale of eorn and other grain. A Bill to Provide for the Extension of the Boundaries of Burghs in Scotland. The House adjourned at half-past twelve o'clock. SELECT VESTRY.-YESTERDAY. The usual fortnightly meeting of the Salect Vestry took place yeatexday in the Board-room, Workhouse, at ten o'clock. Previous, however, to the commencement of the ordinary business, a special meeting was held at nine o'clock, for the following purpose :—"j To rescind the general Board's resolution of the Sad Juno last, which fixed the salary of Messrs. Spray and Unwin, assistant schoolmasters at the Industrial Schools, at such a salary as they may be found entitled to receive after examination by her Majesty's Inspector ; and, as recommended by the Industrial Schools' Committee, to assign to the former a salary of £3O per annum, and to the latter £2O per annum, together with board, washing, and lodging in the estab- lit-hment. The chair was taken by the Rev. Rector Campbell, and the other members present were Messrs. Owen, Denton, Chesney, Syers, Richardson, Gibson, Williams, Cropper, ired, Crawford, Shaw, Hughes, Bairstow, Smith, Wood ruff; Critchley, and W. Joves. Mr. Owen proposed a formal resolution, emb)dying the parport of the business mentioned. A. short conversation took place, which resu'ted in tha ad Iption of the resolution. The ordinary business was then prozeeded with. w °mum usg COMMITTEE. The proceedings of this committee were read It ap peered that the number of vagrants admitted into the -hods, daring the past week, was 243 males, 84 females, and 40 children, in all 367. The number of sick cases in the house, on thel4th instant, was 499, including 38 fever ind 19 itch. The total number of the house, on the 4th instant, was 1855. Mr. SIIAW moved the confirmation of the proceedings, which was agreed to without any discussion. INDUSTRIAL BCHOOLS. The proceedings of this committee did not contain any ling of public importance. Mr. OWEN moved the congrmatitm, which was agreed to FINANCE COMMITTEE. Mr. Wouhiturr, in moving the confirmation of the pro. ceedings, mentioned that one of the collectors having sent in his resignation, it would become necessary to make a new appointment, and he suggested that it should be referred to the Finance Committee to make a selec ion of one or two names out of the present officers, to be recom mended to the vestry ; or, if necessary, to advertise publicly for candidates. Mr. DENTON suggested that the Finance Committee select two names, to be submitted to the Board for the election of one. Mr. CHESNEY asked what was the subject of difference between the Vestry and the Poor-1 w Board? on which, he perceived by the minutes, the opinion of counsel had been taken ? Mr. WOODRUFF said the Poor law Board wished to alter the position of the collectors, and to make them more im mediately under their control The Vestry would not give up its present authority, unless compelled by law to do so. He thought the Poor-law Board had already more control than they ought to have, and therefore the Vestry was determined to resist any more encroachments. Mr. Woodruff also called attention to the steps which were being taken to prosecute males or females who deserted their children, and left them a burtipm to the community. Those proceedings had been carried out so far, very suc cessfully indeed. The name s of the persons who deserted their children were now placarded on the walls, and he was happy to say that the magistrates were co-operating with the Vestry, in sending thole to gaol who were con victed of such desertions. The proceedings were conil-med, including the resolu tion to refer the selection of candidates for the office of collector to the Finance Committee, by whom two names are to be laid before the Board at the next meeting. Mr. WOODRUFF gave notice that at the next meeting he would move that the appointment be forthwith made. Mr. JONES called attention to the canvassing which lately took place among the effioers of the parish when any vacancy occurred. It had been a source of great inconvenience to the members of the Board to be waited upon by the various candidates who were seeking an appointment. He thought so long as an appointment was confined to the (facers already employed by the Beard, the Board knew sufficient of its own officers to render it quite unnecessary for the candidate to canvass individual members. Mr. BAIRSTOW : Not only do they canvass themselves, but they get all their friends to canvass for them. Mr. JortEs : And the sub-t;fficers are employed, and their time taken up, of course, in circulating their letters. Mr. SHAW moved, according to notice, that Mr. Cropper be appointed a member of the Finance Committee, Mr. Gibson, of the Workhouse Committee, and Mr. Hughes of the Industrial Schools' Committee. Mr. WOODRUFF seconded the motion, which was agreed to. This concluded the business. MANSLAUGHTER FROM JEALOUST—The • Birmingham Daily Press records the death of an engine fitter, in that town, named Frederick Pearce, in eonsequenee of serious injuries inflicted upon him by a woman named Charlotte Swanbro, with whom he had lived for some time. The injuries were inflicted as far back slatortunis october. deceased wan' bro, it appeared watched her opportunity as the entered the house, picked up a poker, and as he was walking in, she struck him with it across the head ; th e blood flew from the wound, and he fell on, the floor insensible. She then dragged him into the house, locked the door, and began beating him about the head and body with a large candlestick, and kicked him in the most savage manner ; after which she heaved :him on to the sofa, and snatching up a pair of scissors, seven inche s long, from the table, deliberately opened them, and began stabbing him him in the back. The deceased had been for some time in "the hospital ; but left, and his wounds having broken out again, he gradually sank. From an expresion made use of by Sivanbro, when stabbing him, it appears she was jealous of him visiting another woman i z , the neighbourhood. Swanbro stands committed. Q1. ,3 / 4 f:as charge.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.-JULY 12. re JAMES WALKER, COMNIONLY ' CALLED AND KNOWN AS "JAMES ELPIIINSTONE."—A. tizaTRIcAL ArrEartascr... —This insolvent, a theatrical manager and comedian, for merly in partnership with Rir. Neale as proprietor of the Pavilion Theatre, applied under the Pre'ection Act. Mr. Served opposed for the Dramatic Authors' Society, and he was supported by Mr. Reed. There was a further op position by Mr. Corell, and by a creditor, a per.on named Hart The principal objection on the present occasion was in reference to the Dramatic Authors' Society. The soc i e ty appearedas creditors for £7 for the representations of their pieces. It appeored that the insolvent had had an application from Mr. Stirling Coyne, as secretary, for VT, for pieces played at the Ramsgate Theatre. Mr. Georg Lowis.(Lewis and Lewis) was called, and proved that the society was an incorporate body, and each mem ber was paid the price fixed for the pieces. The Copy- Melt Act pointed out that a party playing without pztr mission was liable for penalties. Mr. eargood submitted that the entry of the Dramatic Author's Society must be expunged from the schedule, and that the ins Avant if he thought proper could insert each member to whom he was indebted. Mr. Commissioner Phillips remarked that the remedy given to authors was little enough. Their works were pirated and their families left without assistance, and their pieces performed. Mr. Served said it was to pro tect their interests that the society was f)rmed. Reed urged that the insolvent had inserted the society, who claimed from him. The court ordered the sche dule to be amended as to the society, and as to the debt o Mr. Corell. Mr. Hart had written a letter to the insolvent to set'le, saying, "no money no certificate." The learned commissioner held that the threat to oppose if he was not paid prevented Hart from opposi,ug. TLY® court named s t , day for the final orc'er.
