IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF OONSIONS.-(THIS DAY.)
The homes met at 12 o'clock.
GREAT GRINSEII- ELECTION.
_ .

Mr. WALPOLE brought up the report elthe General
Committee of Elections, nominating the following com-
mittee to try the merit; of the petition against the late elec.
Coo for Great Grimsby : Sir A. W. Buller Mann. Long-
held, Ueo. Glyn, nod Liddell ; Mr. E. Egerton. chairman.
MARRIAGES (IRELAND) BILL.
On the order for the committee on thU bill,
Sir E. GROOAN opposed thefurther progress of the
protesting that it was calculated to millings the whole social
life of Ireland. Nothing but the strongest sense of dots-
could have induced him to oppose a measure to which his
hon. and learned friend (Sir H. Cairns) had devoted
so much time and trouble ; bat the more he looked
into the bill the more he disapproved of it,
and the only remedy, in his opinion, for its defects would
be to refer it to a select) committee ,nitairs, where, per-
haps, it might be somewhat modified. The present mar-
riage act for Ireland was not of very old date. It
was with much trouble that it had been brought
into working order, and now that that 'object
had been achieved,here was a measure proposing to upset the
whole system. He thought that at least such a postpone.
went should be conceded as would give Irish members
opportunity for a more careful consideration of the bill.
The boo. baronet moved that the bill be committed that
day sin months.
Mr. B tGWELL defended the bill. which, be said, was
mainly consistent with the recommendations of the select
committee of last year. In his opinion the best mode of
dealiog with it would be in committee of the house.
Mr. ; EORGE regretted that a subject of such importance
had not been thought worthy of being taken up by her
Majnty's government. In his opinion there would lie no
difilculty, under their auspices. in establishing a uniform
eyelets of law with respect to marriages in Ireland.
Mr. SCIJLLY said the committee of last year was not
appointed solely with view to the revision of the marriage
law. He would to go into committee, because if the
nil of the Chief Secretary for Ireland became law its prac-
tical effect would be to entrust the registration of mars- ages
in Ireland to the Leticia of the priests.
Sir R. PEEL defended the government for not having
brought forward a bill themselves. The present bill was an
well received by the house that they considered it un Oen*.
nary to do so.
Mr. LONGFIELD objected t', the bill on the ground
that it mixed up the solemnisation of marriage with regis-
tration.

ir.iiirHITESIDE said the bill had the merit of dealing
:trly with the marriages of different classes. The
ede of mixed marriages would require the utmost can.
tion is committee.

Eirkiiiiiii*.LL entered into R history of the attempts
at legislation on this subject and vindicated the course
pursued by the government.
Colonel FRENCH supported the motion.
Sir H. CAIRNS believed it was impossible to legislate on
the simple principle, however good in itself, that the state
bad a right to regulate what all the members of the state
were interested in. If the attempt were made opposition
would arise from various quarters.
[Left sitting.]

The iron-plated gunboat which arrived in tip
Seine from Borden= about a year ago, has been lengthened
and greatly modified in shape. It is now completed, and
being wholly roofed in by a casing of iron plates, presents
a most remarkable appearance in the water—something like
• gigantic egg. She has two very short funnels, two
engines, and is propelled by two screws.

THE lIANieET TO LORD CLYDE—The
Mayor of Brighton (says the Brighton auardkeu) having
received the following reply to the invitation forwarded to
Lord Clyde, it has, we regret to learn, been determined to
abandon the proposed banquet intended to have been
given to Lord Clyde and his staff as an appropriate Coll.
clarion to the proceedings here on Easter Monday.
"Albany, Piccadilly. London, March 26, 1062. —dir,
beg to acknowledge the receipt of your letter in.
vitmg me to a public banquet iu the Pavilion at
Brighton, on the occasion of the Review to
talcs place near to that town on Eister Monday.
I can assure you that I am deeply sensible of the honour
von thus propose to confer upon me, and of the
kindly feeling towards myself that prompts it; but
sinus my return from India I have endeavourer' to avoid
all public dinners and meetings at which my presence
wax not iodispensably required I hope, therefore, you
will kindly accept my apology, and allow me to decline the
proposed banquet. Again expressing my sincere thanks for
this intended honour, I remain, sir. your faithful and ohs.
dient servant, CLYDE—The Hon. the Mayor of Brighton."
LARGE ARRIVAL or SHIPA. —Yesterday, up to
half-peat 4 o'clock, upwards of 37 vessels arrived in Liver-
pool from foreign ports ; besides these, there were also
numerous arrivals on Monday. Of these vessels •large num.
her are corn laden. and many others have brought heavy
consignments of different kinds of provisions. Notwith-
standing the immense imports of corn and other provisions,
the general trade of the port has been much depressed. As
an instance of this. it may be stated that for the nine mouths
ended yesterday the amount of dock revenue has been
about 60,0001. less than during the same period of last year.
The cinchona tree was begun to be planted in
Travacoors, in India, in January hid.

MONEY MARKET.-(THIS DA 1.)

Two o'CLoci.

The funds are rather flatter to-day, owing partly
to the dulness of business. Consols have declined
k per cent. In the market for English railway
stocks prices are still drooping. The transactions
in nearly every department have been upon a re-
stricted scale.

The scrip of the New Turkish Loan is quoted
at 2} to 21 prem.

At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Reuter's
telegram, the Three per Cent. Renter opened at
89fr. 85c. showing no change.

Consols are didaily marked 931, 1, and 2 for
money, and 931 and 1 for the account. The present
quotations are 931, " sellers," for cash, and 831 to
for the 10th of April. The official business report
is as follows.—Three per Cents. Reduced, 921,
92, 1 ; New Three per Cents., 92, 1 ; India
Stock, 224/ ; ditto Five per Cent. Stock, 1081,
2, 1 ; ditto for account, 1081 ; ditto Bonds, 245.
prem. ; Five per Cent. "enlaced" rupee paper, 1031,
103 ; ditto Five-and-a-Ralf per Cent., 1031, 1 ;
Exchequer Bills, 205., lie. prem.

„ -
There is a fall to-day in Mexican Bomb, which
are last marked 34f. Moorish Scrip is
firm, at 6 to 6} prem. The Turkish
Loan of 1864 remains steady, at 84 to 4,
and that of 1858 at 71 to f. There is no change
in Venezuela Bonds or Italian Five per Cents.
Sales are recorded as follows : Brazilian
Four.and.a•Half per Cents., 1868, 93 ; ditto Four-
and-a-Half per Cents., 1860, 93 ; Italian Five
' per Cents. 664 (exchange, 25fr.) ; Mexican
Three per Cents., 35 ; ditto for account, 34f, # ;
Moorish Scrip, 64, prem. ; Peruvian Three per
Cents., for account, 821, ex div. ; Russian Five per
Cents., 991, ; ditto Three per Cents., 18159, 62,
61f ; Spanish Three per Cents., for account, 53 ;
ditto Passive, 194 ; Turkish Six per Cents., 1864,
for account, 844 ; ditto Six per Ceuta., 1858, 714 ;
ditto, for account, 711, 4, 71 ; Venezuela Three
per Cents., for account, 244.
The mails from Calcutta, China, and Australia
have reached Suez. Trade at Melbourne was im-
proving, and at Sydney it was quiet.
The Giant's Causeway has arrived from Geelong,
with 49,0001. in gold.

Foos o'Ciocu.
Consols are without change, at 931, " sellers,"
for money, and 931 to 1 for the account.

The discussion in the House of Commons on Mon-
day night has helped to bring into stronger relief the
improvement in the prospects of Turkish finance.
We understand that all the " letters of regret" went
out last night. It is said that, owing to the pressure
of subscribers, the agents will be compelled entirely
to reject applications representing about 9,000,0001.
of stock. The list of applicants comwises, in all,
fully 15,000 names.

A good deal of attention and not a little cariosity
have been excited through its having transpired
that the proposed Peruvian Loan has been entirely
withdrawn. All the arrangements had been pre-
pared, and subscriptions had been privately made
for a large portion of the loan, when it was dis-
)overed that the fiscal commissioner of the Peru-
vian government, Senor Rodulfo, has no legal
powers. There are some points in the affair
which, for the sake of its own credit, it
is to be hoped the Peruvian Executive
will feel the necessity of explaining. The
whole matter must now be referred back to
Peru, and it seems very questionable whether our
money market will be troubled again from this
quarter for the next four or five months. Should
satisfactory arrangements be then made, and the
negotiation be renewed, the Peruvian government
had far better provide for the immediate redemp-
tion (or, what is the same thing, for the conversion
into the new loan) of the remaining balance of the
Anglo-Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cent. stock,
as this course would set free a revenue of
325,0001. a year, now specially assigned to that
stock, and which would form a good basis for a new
loan of moderate amount. As another preliminary
condition, it is important that the real position of
the guano contract should be made satisfactorily
clear.

A payment of about 1,500,000/. was made yester-
day on the 1,600,0001. of Victoria Railway 6 per

probably rendered holders the more inclined to

Consols, which closed yesterday at 931 to for
the 10th inst., opened this morning at the same
quotation, and, after receding to 931, " sellers,"
closed at 931 too. For money the last price was

paper was inquired for. India Bonds were pur-
chased at 28e. preen. Exchequer Bills remain
quoted 17s. to 2Dr. preen.

Iu the foreign stock market the principal trans-
actions were in Mexican Bonds, which, being
marked as high as 314, closed at 341 to 351, or
lower than yesterday. Venezuela improved in the
afternoon to 24} to 1, it being believed that the
very proper refusal of the committee to entertain the
proposals of the fiscal agent for a new loan until the
agreement of 1859 shall have been carried out in its
integrity, will operate favourably for the bond-
holders interests.

Tae FAX NCR eftoPa. —The Echo Apricole says "
The accounts which have reached us durig_s the hut week
of the state of the crops ars excellent. In anion fiery
part the appearance of the growing wheat is magnificent.
The weather, which became fine towards the end of the
week, has removed thefears which had been excited by the
long continuance of rain, and has allowed the sowing
of clover to be carried on moot favourably in the
North of France. The spring field labours have
bean in general executed on good conditions. The grass
crops are growing rapidly, and the lucern is already very
fine. The wheat, which bad been affected by the late
frosts in the east of France, has recovered under the bens.
&ant influence of the mild showers of spring. An old
farmer in the centre of France writes no word that he has
' never seen a finer prospect for the growing crops.' It must
not, however, be forgotten that those are as yet only
hopes, which would rapidly vanish ce a return of bad
weather." . .

COTTON Itt Assets.—" It is well known," says
the Congitutinaml, " that there ban been formed for some
time past at Manchester an association of manufacturers for
the purpose of carrying on the cultivation of cotton on •
large scale in Algeria. That company, which, it is said,
has already delimited in the Bank of England a capital of
about 2i millions of francs, has directed its attention to a
part of the province of Oran, near La Meets., and
recently sent to that place a commission charged
to make the investigations, and among
them was a Mr7Ce= a member of the English
Parliament, delegated by the house of Thomas Barclay, of
Manchester, and a planter from Georgia, well skilled in
the cultivation of cotton. The commission have explored
the valley of La Mina„and our lettere inform us that they
' have returned to Algiers well satisfied with their ex-
cursion, and fully persuaded as to the future favourable re-
sults of the undertaking. After having been received with
the greatest courtesy by the Algerian administration.
the commission have left for England to report
to their employers what they have seen, and the negotia.

during a stay of from 12 to 15 years in the cotton-producing
districts, with the most advantageous methods of produc-

The Calcutta papers state that the London Poet-
cake authorities have declined to accede to the request of
, the Trades Association, to postpone the closing of the Cal-
mate mail for England when the regular date falls oa a
Sunday.
