on credentials ; the majority adopted the report,
and the Douglas delegates admitted in place of

in the case of Georgia, were both delegates

throughout the proceedings. No ballot had been

TilE WOOL SALES.

The next series of Colonial Wool sales will
commence on Thursday, 19th instant. According
to a circular of Messrs. Winans and Overbury,
182,971 bales- have arrived since the last sales,
including 8,522 from the Cape.

NATIONAL RIFLE ASSOCIATION.
Yesterday disposed of the perplexing ties of
the Volunteers, and made complete the list of the
twenty second-best shots, who win the right of
competing for the Royal prize: of £250, which
will make Saturday the Cup Day of the Meeting.
The contest between foreigners exclusively excited
great interest yesterday. The Swiss sharp-
shooters mostly ;fired lying full length on -the
ground.

THE LEATHER TRADE.
It appears that Messrs. Lawrence, Mortim.ore,
and Co., of Liverpool, the corresponding firm of
Street&ld,. Lawrence, and Co., here, stopped
payment under the advice of Coleman, the
accountant, who had a personal investigation of
their position. Their liabilities are estimated at
.£300,000.

The Daily Netts says there seems to be every
disposition to avert forced sales, and consequent
sacrifices in. connection with the winding up of
the failed firms. The prospect of the permanent
colapse in, the leather market - may thas be
materially modified.. The suspension, partial -or.
total, of the operations -of many of the tanners-
will likewise contribute to check any extravagant
itepreoiatiou in the "Talie of leather.

• . THA 'QUESTION. OF PRIVILEGE.
The Herald says that Lord Palmerston's speech,
-last night, ought to have settled the question : it
was in every way creditable to his constitutional
~..knowledge and. patriotism. He accepts, almost
...with gratitude, the rebuff the Lords has given to
his Chancellor of the Exchequer, justifying their
policy, lauding their judgment, and quietly
acquiescing in the result of their vote. In case
of ulterior action, a menace eagerly caught at by
:a section of the Liberal party, the Herald says
4hat -in such a case Lord Palmerston can rely
an the undivided strength of the Conservative
party.
The Times says Lord Palraerston's speech was
a complete oratorical triumph. He had. to take
into account not the real merits of the question,
• but the internal politics.of his own Cabinet. He
• had•to show the House that•the constitution was
in their favour, and yet that they were scarcely
constitutional. Lord Palmerston had conjured
down the Wind, but the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer exerted all his powers to raise it again,
and may even yet succeed in creating a foolish
and utterly unnecessary quarrel between the two.
Houses of Legislature.,
The Daily --Ales .6P•y§ that lkir. Gladston.e's
declaration last night of his willingness to viudi-
cate the privileges of the Commons by actions
as well as •words, elicited the greatest cheering
that has been heard in the House of Commons for
many weeks. Mr. Disraeli's speech demonstra-
tively shows that the aim of the Tories is to
govern England by the House of- Lords; and
Lord John Russell said that their recent act is
intended as the .prelude -to further innovation.
Lord Palmerston's 'laboured apology for the House
of Lords destroyed .the value of 'his resolutions,
and earned for him the ostentatious. thanks of Mr.
Disraeli. .

The Star points out that the debate last night
discloses the strongest practical difference between
the Premier and other members of the Cabinet.
Lord Palmerston spoke amid the suppressed
murmurs of the Liberal party, and the rapturous
cheering of the Tory opposition. It is evident
that a Ministerial disruption can only be averted
by his recognition of the spirit evinced by the
House, and the recantation
_of his offensive arid
pernicious counsels.

AUSTRIAN SPOIL IN ITALY AFTER THE BATTLE
OF WATERLOO.—At the period of the French invasion
of Italy, the territories of the Republic occupied
all the district that lay between the Duchy
of Milan and the Adriatic Sea. These terri-
tories, and Venice itself, were seized by Napoleon,
under circumstances which made it impossible to acquit
the act of deliberate treachery -to a friendly and con-
fiding State. The treaty of Campo Formic portioned
out between France and Austria the spoil. Austria
recognised the new Italian republic, formed in part
from her dominions of Milan alit 3lantua, -and. received
in exchange, not the entire of the Venetian territo-
ries, but only that portion which lay. to the east of
the Adige. The rest formed part of the possessions
of the Cisalpine Republic. Subsequently Venice was
severed from Auslria. By the treaty of Presburg,
in 1805, Austria, after eight years' possession, sur-
rendered all the Venetian Provinces to the Kingdom of
Italy—receiving a compensation elsewhere. As to her
former Italian territories, Austria was in the position of
having, by treaties of peace, deliberately surrendered
them. It was impossible to say that Napoleon
was not rightly in possession of them--or that the
claim could ba put forward, which was justly made in
other instances, for restitution of territory, which had
been wrested by wrong. The Congress of Vienna
not only restored to the Emperor his ancient domi-
nions in the Duchies of Milan and Mantua, but they
assigned also to him the very provinces of Venetia which
he bad received in exchange for the surrender of these
duchies—and not only this, but added to this splendid
gift that portion of the Venetian territory of which
Austria never bad the possession, which had been
:immediately annexed to the Cisalpine republic. In
addition to all this, they annexed to his dominions the
valleys of the Valteline, which Napoleon had wrested
from the Blvios canton of the Grioons

of ascertaining what steps• htr Majesty/6 Government intend
to take in the matter%

Sir G. C. Lzwxs said that the correspondence on the subject
had been laid upon the table, by which. it appeared that the
theceding of the magistrate, in signing the order for removal
was unquestionably irregular. Magistrates 'would be initructed
to be more careful in future.

Mr. BRADY declaimed against the conduct of the magistrates
icho bed signed the order of removal. "
Mr. JAMES entered into some explanation in defence of the
conduct of the magistrates, which had been greatly exag-
gerated. "

Mr. Rocitucx, on the contrary, declared that the magistrates

Mr. CORBALLT also thought that many fitter persons might

SERIOUS CHARGE AGAINST A FARMER

FOR HANGING A BOY.

A few days ago, at the County Police Office, Leicester,
a farmer, of Evington, named Tebbs Johnson, was
charged with a brutal assault on a boy, named George
Scarborough. It appeared that the lad bad been
working for the defendant, whose wife entrusted him
with some money to carry to her husband. It was
wrapped in paper, and he opened it to look at what
was inside. He then wrapped the money up again,
but did not take it to defendant, because he had lost
a sovereign on the road. He hid the remainder, and
afterwards denied that be had received the money.
Thereupon the assault was committed. A man named
Glover stated that he saw the defendant come to the
gate of the field in which he was, put a string round
complainant's neck, and carry him to the middle of the
road by the string, at the same time lifting him up and
down with it. Defendant also carried complainant in
this manner up and down the lane. The complainant's
tongue was out, and defendant carried him 150
yards. He appeared senseless and unconscious, and
pointed to different parts of the field. After defendant
had done with complainant, he turned him over to an
Irishman who came up, handing him the string and a
knife, telling him to do as he liked with him. The child
was .carried backwards and forwards by the string in the
lane for quite an hour. He saw the Irishman holding
the complainant with the string and an open knife in the
other hand, taking him from one part of the road to the
other. Defendant was present. The Irishman let com-
plainant fall upon the ground, end then lifted him up
by the string, and kept dragging him by it. The lad
became quite unconscious, and was very seriously injured.
The defendant was fined £lO, with £1 19s. costs.

A SKETCH or A COCKNEY.—Nature is the best and
truest teacher a man can have—and it is little of nature
that the Cockney sees, or hears, and feels. He goes to
Richmond, but instead of studying the finest panorama
in the world, he stupifies himself with doubtful port.
He visits the Crystal Palace, but 'A is for the

sake of the lobster salad. He runs to Greenwich,
not to revel in that park, beautiful still in
spite of the attacks of London on its purity,
but to eat white-bait. He takes, it may be,
the rail or the steamboat to Gravesend, but merely that
he may dance with milliners at Tivoli. The only idea
of a garden to a London gent is a place whero there is
dancing, and drinking, and smoking going on. And
this is a type of his inbred depravity. He has no
rational amusements. In the winter time shut ap the
casinos and do away with the half-price at the theatres,
and the poor fellow is hors chi combat, and has nothing
eft him but suicide or Oiriunt trentem.
