DIE LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENT BILL.—The committee
upon this bill sat yesterday for several hours, and adjourned
at three o'eloeic, till to-day, when the further consideration
of it will be resumed. Owing to some Mistake, our parcel had
not arrived at the time of going to press.

ME. VILLIERS' DEFALCATIONS.—In the Cotkrt of Queen's
Bench, on Saturday, before Lord Campbell and a special jury,
the case of Clark v. Lord Clifden was brought on. Mr. Edwin
James, Q. C., and Mr. T. Jones appeared for the plaintiff ; Sir
F. Thesiger, Mr. H. Hill, Q. C., and Mr. Prentice for the de-
fendant.—This was an action on a bill for £3,000, drawn by
the Hon. Francis Villiers upon Lord Clifden, accepted by him,
and endorsed to the plaintiff. When the cause was called on,
Mr. James said he wished the plaintiff to be called. This was
done accordingly, but he did not answer. Mr. James applied
to his Lordship to postpone the trial. Lord Campbell said he
was very unwilling to press the case on, and he would therefore
take another cause. This was done accordingly. At a later
period of the day the case was again called on, but the plaintiff
did not appear. Mr.lJames said, under the circumstances he
must withdraw the record ; which was done accordingly. In
the cases of Ford v. Lord Clifden, and Wisden v. Lord Clifden,
the records had been withdrawn at an earlier period of the day

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

MONDAY.
The house met at four o'clock.
ARMY INQUIRY COMMITTEE.

Mr. ROEBUCK brought up the report of the Committee on
the Army before Sebastopol, and it was read by the clerk at
the table amidst the deepest silence. It was for the most part
an historical narrative of the management of the war in the
several departments at home, and in all of which it described
a great want of system, and equal mismanagement. It fur-
ther stated circumstances which showed great neglect on the
part of nearly the whole of the authorities at the seat of war.
The report went on to acknowledge the exertions of private
persons to relieve the exigencies and distresses at the hospitals
in Scutari. Having stated that the conduct of the adminis-
tration at home had been the chief cause of the calamities
which had occurred, it concluded with bearing testimony to
the admirable manner in which the army had borne its mani-
fold sufferings. The reading of this important document
occupied the clerk exactly one hour and a half.
