REGISTRATION OF ASSURANCE BILL.

Mr. BRIGHT stated that he had received a telegraphic
message from a deputation from a number of building
societies of Manchester, now on its way to Londoa, in re-
ference to this bill. What they wished to know was,
whether, if the bill were read a second time pro forma,
and it was seat to a select committee, they would be al-
lowed to give evidence before that committee as to the
operation of the measure upon such societies as those to
which they belong—that was societies which purchased
small parcels of land, and built houses upon them for their
own members?

Lard J. RUSSELL replied that the bill in question,
which had come down from the Lords, was founded on the
reports of several legal commissioners, who had instituted
very laborious inquiries into the whole subject. What he
proposed was that the bill should be read a second time to-
night, and that its clauses should be afterwards suhmitted
to a select committee ; after which, as the hon. gentleman
was aware, it must come back and pass through a general
committee of the whole house. He thought it would be
inconvenient, after the inquiries which had already been
goae into by persons in every way competent fur the task,
that fresh evidence should be taken, but the petitions of the
parties to whom the hon. gentleman hat alluded might be
referred to the select committee, by whom, no doubt, they
would receive full attention.

Mr. BRIGHT thought it quite possible that the legal
commission from whom this bill had emanated might not
be aware of the peculiar circumstances of these societies—
but be would communicate what the noble lord had stated
to the deputation, and they would probably adopt the
course the noble lord had suggested.
Mr. HADFIELD intimated that he had presented a
number of petitions from some hundred thousand persons
connected with building societies against the bill.
Mr. MULLINGS believed that the commission referred
to had not None into any evidence in reference to the ope-
ration of this bill on mem►ers of building societies. lie
thought the measure would increase the profits of solicitors
at the expense of those poor persons. If the measure was
pressed he should move its postponement.
ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS.

Mr. FLUME inquired when the bill, founded on the re-
port of the commission on this subject, would bo brought
forward, and whether it would be introduced in the Lords
or the Commons?

Lord J. RUSSELL had stated, on a former occasion, that
the commission appointed by the late government had
made up their minds as to the general outline of the bill,
but not u to the details ; and it would take probably three
or four months to complete those details.
THE METROPOLITAN POLICE.

Lord D. STUART complained that certain returns fir
which he had moved, as to the number of the members of
the Metropolitan and City police who had been charged be-
fore the magistrates, and had been punished, had not been
produced.
Lord PALMERSTON said he would inquire into the
matter, and lay the papers on the table as soon as possible.

EXPLOSION AND LOSS OF LIFE.

LOUTH, MAY 26.—An explosion of a most alarm-
ing character took place in the vicinity of this town login.-
day morning, which resulted in the death of a Mr. John
Matthew Barnett, a young operative chemist, of much pro-
mise, and manufacturer of an improved fog signal for rail-
ways. His factory was in filaiden-row, of this place, and
it apppears that he had received an order from the Din-
casltire and Yorkshire Railway Company for several gross
of " Nelthorpe and Barnett's fog-signals." Ho proceeded
to the shed about seven o'clock, and having tint d acme 60
of them, he went to breakfast He returned about twenty
minutes past nine, and in about ten minutes the explosion
took place, which shook the whole neighbourhood. The
factory was blown up, and the fragments hurled in all
directions, and the unfortunate decessed was dircovered in a
frightfully mutilated state. Ile bad been cxyosr d appa-
; rently to the full force of the shriek. Notwith-
standing the fearful character of the irjurip, the

- -
poor eiviature was found to be living. . He. wee
heard just to articulate, " Oh, take me away. Lord
have mercy on me ! Oh, take me away !" but Lis suffer-
ings were speedily terminated, 33 in a few minutes he ex-
pired. A melt was ()unit in the hand of the uafortunate
man, and it was thought that he had been tapping with it,
predmitily putting on the covers of the small eirctear tin
easel of det diating powder. At the coroner's inquest, Mr.
j,,fio Nelthorpe, chemist, was examined. He said that the
deceased wasoften experimenting; and, from the circum-
stance of his haviug a well in his baud, he at first supposed
that the cause of hi- death 1343 probably owing to the man-
ner he might be putting on the lids of the signals; but
witness now thought it was more likey that deceased was
trying the strength of the dry pnwd:r composition, by
sttikiiie a small portion of it on iron, anti a train of scattered
pastiche ignited the whole stock in the place, and rrriduced
the explosion. A little boy, about 7 years of apc,had just hem
sent out by the deceased to get some pims of iron mi.:n..l

fining sorts at extreme prices, but the :ow and infetior sorts
at easier rates. The private demand fur Foreign still con-
tinues favorable and considerable Pales are reported. Coffee
has been moderately quiet, and at auction very full prices
have been paid, particularly fur the good and tine descrip-
tions of Plantation Ceylon; Native has been sold at 475. fid.
per cwt., at which good ordinary quality is quoted. Cocoa
continues very dull and unsaleable, unless at a decline.

RUSSIA AND TURKEY.

Letters received from Berlin and Vienna continue
to report a general belief in the approaching peace-
ful settlement of the Euterp question. This expo.
cation, however, appears at present to represent no
more than the bent of public feeling, the organs of
the French government disfavouring (u will be seen
in mu... Paris correspondence.) a 9wyeanguine view of
the situation. If the quarrel has been fairly placed
in the hands of diplomatists, still serious difficulties,
touching the honour of great nations and involving
principles of international law, precious alike to all,
are yet to be surmounted, and these, although it is
not to be supposed that they are beyond the wisdom
of statesmen and negotiators to overcome, will
hardly be vanquished without labour involving de-
lay. The character of the potentate against whose am-
bition France and England are now defending the
west is a guarantee that he will sell the advantage he
enjoys in occupying the principalities at the dearest
possible rate, while that very occupation supplies
him with motives for protraction and delay.

INDIA MAILS.

The Ripon, which arrived at Southampton on
Saturday, brought no direct Bombay or China mail. The
China packet had not arrived at Ceylon when the mail
steamer left the latter place with the Calcutta mill. There
has bet n no Bombay mail since the arrival of the Bengal
steamer last month. That packet was detained at Alexan-
dria so long that the Bombay mail, due here the beginning
of this month, was brought home by her, so that none
reached England, or was expected by the last India mail
packet from Alexandria. The reason there is no direct
Bombay mail by the Ripon is, that the East India Cora-
-1 pony had no steamer to convey it to Aden. The news
from Bombay by way et Marseilles a few days since was
dated the 30th of May, or about seven weeks old, an un-
usual lon time, when it is ordinarily: not older than
from twenty-six to thirty days. All the news
and correspondence brought from Bombay by the
Ripon was by way of Ceylon through the agency
of the Peninsular and Oriental Company's vessels.
There would seem to be an unnecessary expense incurred in
conve)ing the Bombay mails. There is a steam packet
communication twice a mouth between Bombay and Ceylon
for mercantile purposes, and yet an expense is incurred for
despatching steamers to and from Aden and Bombay, which
scarcely carry anything but mails, and these steamers occa-
sionally fail in reaching Aden in time to catch the home-
ward packet..

The Perinsular and Oriental Company have resolved to
send their steamer Bengal to India soon after her arrival
home from Alexandria with the Indian mail the beginning
of next week. This magnificent vtssel, the largest in the
world, will be a great acquisition at the distant stations of
the company on account of the growing importance of
China and Australia to this country. She will not touch
at the Cape on her way to India, and is expected to roack
Calcutta, after calling at Ceylon and Madras, in about 60
days from Southampton. She will only carry out passengers,
specie, and parcels.

MANCHESTER.

DISCOUERY OF A NEST OF BURGLARS AT

Yesterday, at thoMoisohoutor Borough Court. Wen.
Lanford, Pairick Diluter, tilvia Malvin, John Buckley,
Itiehatil Price, and Catherine Kelly. all young persons,
were charged with beiug coaccru•d in various burglaries
committed in private houses.
Inspector ',leaves, of the detective force, went, accom-
panied by two other otheers, to a hisser kept by Lauford,
and inhabited by all the other prisoners, at a place
called Southsea, near the Theatre Royal ; and, on
searching, found in one of the bedrooms a vast
quantity of wearing apparel, bedding, and other fur-
niture, which had been stolen. They tumid Kelly and Price
sitting b' the Are, and stopped Buckley as he was
making his escape over a wall at the back. In Lanford's
pockets were found a pair of silver sugar tongs, and two silk
handkerchiefs, and someuf the other prisoners were at the
time weanng articles which have been identified as stolen
properly. All the 'property found in the luck room, and
sevenl articles used as furniture by the "family,' were
identified as having been stolen from the houses of Idr.
This. Turner, of Leinater-street, and other residents in
klulme, during the last two mo-Aths. Mr. ar.J Mrs. Turner
went out shout nine o'clock on Saturday night, and locked
the doors both back and front, but on returning two hours
afterwards they found that an entrance had been forced,
and that the house was emptied of almost every portable
article it contained. Not above one-fifth of the property
taken away was found at the house in Southsea. The
prisoners Price, Delaney,and Buckley, said they had bought
from Lanford all the articles they were charged with steal-
ing, and Lanford took all the guilt upon himself, saying
the others had nothing to do with the robberies. The
prisoners were all committed for trial. Price, although only
24 years of age, is a returned convict, and all the prisoners,
except Delaney, have been several times in custody.

TURKEY.

Letters from Constantinople of the 2nd state that
the Greek Easter Festival was celebrated on the Ist
inst. with the customary gaiety and order. The
government, notwithstanding the predictions of the
over-timid, did not think proper to abridge the license
which the Greeks have been accustomed to enjoy on
this anniversary. A telegraphic despatch received
in Vienna on the 14th, announces that according to
the reports of the Austrian Consul at Odessa, the
Russians have positively suspended their armaments.
At Odessa no speculations were made in grain, and
large quantities of corn had accumulated in Southern
Russia. In spite of extensive purchases made by the
Russian government, the prices had fallen, and were
still falling.
The Theste Observer has correspondence from
Constantinople of the 2nd inst. ;, the Russian steamer
Bessarabia had arrived on the 10. from Odessa, with
despatches for Prince MenseMkoff. Their contents
had not transpired. The English steamer Tiger had
left for Malta on 26th of April, with despatches from
Lord Stratford to Admiral Dundee; and the Wasp
(British steamer) had arrived from the Pirmus.
The Turkish fleet had left the arsenal on the 27th,
to cut anchor in the Bosphorus.
MARSEILLEB.—The Scamandre, which left Con-
stantinople on the 6th instant, confirms the news
already received by way of Trieste, that the Divan
had received intimation of the proposed ultimatum
of Menschikoff, demanding the establishment of the
Protectorate of the Greek Church, and certain modi-
fications in the terms lately granted to France on the
subject of the Holy Places.
The Chapelet, which sailed for Constantinople on
the 7th, and the Caradoe on the Bth, both bring
despatches for the French and English governments,
but the contents of them have not transpired.

DINNER IN ROA OUR OF PRINCE ADAM

CZARTOR ISKI.

The Polish Historical Society received their illus-
trious compatriot, Prince Adam Csartoryski, patron of that
society, at dinner, in the Thatched House Tavern, on Mon-
day lest, Colonel Last Seyrma, president, in the chair.
The assemblage of the Poles, both members and guests,
was numerous, including Lord Dudley Stuart end otter
patrons of the Polish Society. After the customary touts
I for the Queen, Prince Albert, and the rest of the Royal
Family, which were all given in Polish, the national tout
of " Poland " followed, and, in the next place, that of
Prince Adam Crartoryski, as one of her most eminent sons.
In proposing his health the Chairman drew a lively outline
of the prince's public career as a statesman, and dwelt
in particular on the services which he had rendered to his
country by promoting national education, and protecting
the administration of justice from the corrupting influence
_ _ .

of Russia. The illustrious prince's health wee drunk with
all the honours, as was also that of the princess his amiable
consort, a lady who is most deservedly respected by the
Poles for the eolicitude which she is bestowing on the edu-
cation of the daughters of t►e Polish exiles, at her own
residence in Paris, and mainly at her own expense. This
toast was proposed by the vice-president, Lieutenant
Szolesewski. The prince proposed the health of Lord
Dudley Stuart, the sealous and unwearied president of the
Literary Association of the Friends of Poland, in conjunc-
tion with its members, which toast was acknowledged by
the noble lord in a speech in which he took occasion to
render a tribute to the memory of Cutler Ferguson, Thomas
Campbell, Wentworth Beaumont, and other distinguished
supporters of the Polish cause who had preceded him.
Several other toasts were proposed sad drunk, as " Eng-
lish Hospitality," " Regeneration of Poland," fee. The
festivity closed with the recital of a piece ef poetry, com-
posed for the occasion by Mr. Alexander Rypioski, and the
party broke up at a late hour, amidst aspirations for the
continuance of the prosperity of England, and admiration
of hes free institutions.

THE TRANSLATIONS OF THE RUSSIAN

Lest night the meaning of the Emperor of Russia's
Manifesto was again the subject of question in parliament.
In the House of Peers, Lord Lyndhurst wished to know if
the government had an original copy of the Emperor of
Russia's proclamation. He understood there were im-
wetant differences between the original and the translation.
The Earl of Clarendonesid that he would produce a copy
of the proclamation in the original Russian, published for
circulation among the Emperor's subjects, between which
and the translation it was true some differences existed, par-
tienhtrly as regarded the expression " peifidious " applied
to the alleged violation of his oath by the Sultan.
It is proper to state that the translation to which the
language of the noble lords applied is .not that which ap-
peared in the Expreu of this day week. When the
Russian text of the ukase arrived is Paris it fell into the
hands of a translator, who, whether wilfully or by mis-
take, made • French version, in which several
significant expressions employed by the Cur were altoge-
ther suppressed. Thus where the Cur says that the Sultan
has " faithlessly" or " perfidiously "(rierolonsiso) broken him
word, the offensive expression is omitted. So also in the
concluding paragraph, where the Emperor says that his
troops shall go forward (op:red) on behalf of the orthodox
faith, the French translator changes the expression, omits
the " forward," and makes the Cur say that he will
"defend" the faith. It was this unreliable version which
one of our contemporaries put forward on Thursday, as
worthy of peculiar credit, that the Earl of Clarendon
quoted on Friday night in his reply to Earl Fitawilliana's
question. The translation which appeared in the &press
was made from the 014i12/11 Russian text, and will be
found to contain the expte.wione to which Ltvd Lyndhurst
lest eight called attention.

SPAIN.

BAYONNE, Jots 8.
Queen Christina has just arrived here on her way
to Paris to join her husband the Duke de Rianzares.
Perhaps she will extend her journey into Italy after
arranging some money affairs in France, which,:how-
ever, were not so pressing as to render her presence
absolutely necessary. This personage, never popular
with the Spaniards on account of her selfishness and
Weldable avarice, has become so thoroughly detested
of late that her factotum, the Minister Egana,
backed by his colleagues, has advised her to retire
for a season from Spain. During this forced absence
her political rival, Narvaez, another of those political
adventurers who have grown rich at the cost of
Spain, will most probably return from exile as the
I creature of the Emperor Napoleon, who has pardoned
him for the letter of condolence he wrote to the Duke
de Nemours. If this be the case, he will prove a for
enemy to the Spanish liberals, who are de-
termined to oppose the reactionary tendencies of the
Spanish court.
Mr. Otway, acting Charge d'Affaires at Madrid,
will, it is expected, be appointed British Minister
there.
