EXCISE DUTIES OX SPIRITS BILL.

Oa the order of the day for the second reading of this
bill, . . . .

Captain JONES said if the right hon. gentleman the
Chancellor of the Exchequer had informed him when he
intended to propose his resolution for the imposition of an
additional duty of 81. on Irish spirits, he should have op-
posed it. Being precluded from taking that course at
present, he would not detain the house with any length-
ened remarks. He felt bound, however, to express his
opinion as to what would be the result of the change. In
1842, when Sir Elbert Frei proposed an addition of Is. to
the duty on Irish spirits, he told him that be
most not expect any increase of revenue—that he
would fill all the gaols, and encourage illicit distillation,
and would be compelled to retrace his steps. Before a year
had passed his prophecy was verified, and the additional
duty was removed. He now told the government that they
were about to repeat the experiment, and that the result
would be precisely the same. It was true that the addition
was now to be Bd. instead of a shilling, but that amount
was quite sufficient a produce the effect. From a return
moved for by the hon. member for Salford, it appeared that
in the five consecutive years from 1834 to 1839, the con-
sumption of spirits in Ireland varied from 12,000.000 to
10,800,000 gallons. After the addition made in 1842 the
quantity brought to charge came down to 6,000,000 gallons.
It was not to be supposed that one drop of whiskey
lam was consumed ; the deficiency was made up en-
tirely by illicit spirits. After the additions)
duty had been removed, the quantity of spirits
gradually increased until the year 1851. In the fiaandal
year, ending March 1852, the quantity was 7,500,000 gal-
lons ; in the year just passed it was 8,208,000 gallons ; and
Oahe present duty were allowed to continue, he had no
doubt the consumption would woe be 10,000,000 gallons.
In this way, the Chancellor of the Exchequer might expect
to obtain some addition to the revenue, but none could be
got by means of an increase of the tax on spirits. It • as,
from the nature of the country, utterly impossible to pre-
vent illicit distillation so long as there was a premium
upon it.
The bill was then read a second time and ordered to be
committed on Monday.
The Customs Duties on Spirits Bill, was also rend a
second time, and ordered to be read a third time on Mon-
day.

THE JEWISH DISABILITIES BILL.

Yesterday afternoon a deputation of the electors of
the City of London, cacsisting of Mr. J. Dillon, Mr A.
Mr. IL W. Crawford, Mr. W. J. Hall, Mr.
Oilpin, Ms. W. Hack, Mr. Greven, Mr. Bennoch, and Mr.
S. Usith, had an interview with Lord J. Russell, at the
Paysaaater•Genaral's dace, Whitehall, on the subject of
the recent rejection of the Jewish Disabilities Bill in the
House of Lords.

Mr. Dit.t.ote said that the last wee the seventh time as
appeal had been made to the House of Lords to admit the
duly elected representative of the citizens of London to the
legislature. The late &ciao's of the upper house had otos-
Wowed mach regret amosiget the electors, sad ae they were
lesions to avoid any socivemest is the matter until they
learned whether the government intended to take any other
proceedings, the present interview had been solicited is
order that they might know what steps to pursue in respect
to the subject.
Lord .1. Atteasta. Mooned that the recent decision of the
upper hoses had much disappointed him. They did sot
anticipate that the bill would have bees thrown out by the
majority it had. He feared that there was little hope of
any other hill which they might bring in pealing this
session.
It was ultimately announced that the deputation should
have another interview with his lordship to-morrow
(Saturday).

PORTSMOUTH, May 19.
A meeting of the council of the borough of Ports-
mouth was held this afternoon, convened in purssanee of a
requisition to the Mayor, signed by 17 members of the
council, " for the of taking into consideration the
desirability of parliament, in opposition to a bill
about to be brought lain the House of Commons by Lord
John Russell, fur illekereekeiste the electors employed in
the government eseshliehowats, and to take such steps
thereon em the council tag dens expedient "
The Mayor, GROZGH CORNILICS BTIOAIT, EM., occu-
pied the chair, and the attendance of aldermen end coon-
talon was very numerous.
Mr. Gauktiis SIIxrPAaD proposed the adoption of a peti•
Lion against the bill of Lord ohn Russell, and character-

The notion was carried MSS con., and a petition was
drawn up in accordance with the views of the cottage, and

THE BOILER EXPLOSION AT DUDLEY. A
coroner's inquest bee beam bald em the Wise of the man
killed by this sod the Moving verdict has been
found : "That Ike &laths of Mfilward, Stokes, and Steal•
don had been awed by the bursting of the large boiler
of the eteari.enghse in Messrs. Davis' factory, from the in-
ternal pressure of steam seising from a scarcity of water.
Such scarcity, in our opinion, was occuioned by the incom-
petency of the engineer whose life has been the a erifice of
his inexperience. At the same time we consider the boiler,
from the fact of its being mash oxydiaed, and thereby re-
dueed from its original thickness, to have been quite unfit
to sustain the pressure the* working. Still, from the evil.
donee adduced, no party apprised Messrs. Davis that the
boiler was is a dangerous condition. The jury, therefore,
exonerate the proprietors from blame ; bet in all future
eases they recommend that no engineer be employed with-
out testimonials as to his experience in the particular clue
of boilers by which an engine may be driven ; and we
farther recommend that on the re•ereetion of the works,
the boilers be mounted in a superior , having ems
*pan and ow shut supply valve, both of large dimeweieas,
the shut valve to be entirely out of the engineer's control ;
alto at least two water indieaton, ea that one shall Indicate
truly, independent of the feed valve."

WALLACHIA.

Mr. DISRAELI—I wish, sir, to ask two questions of the
noble lord opposite relating to the present state of affairs in
the East, and I will put them separately, in order that I
may be more explicit. (Hear, hear.) The first relates to
a document which has reached this metropolis to-day, and
which bears the title of a "Circular despatch addressed to
the diplomatic agents of the court of St. Petenburgb," and
is signed by Couat Neeselrode. It is stated in that " drat.
Ism despatch^ that the occupation of the priacipalities by
the Russian force has been occasioned as much by the
naval occupation of the Turkish waters by the combined
Ise% of England and France as by the refuel of
the Selma to give that satisfaction which the Em-
peror of Russia demands ; and it says that he
will not retire from those principalities until complete satis-
faction is accorded to him by the Sultan, and until also the
combined fleets of England and France shall have left the
ports of the Sultan which they at present occupy. Now, sir,
what I wish to know from the noble lord is whether a copy
of that " circular despatch" has been presented to her Ma-
jesty's government—(hear, hear)—and if not, then I wish
to know whether it is the opinion of her Majesty's govern-
ment that that " circular despatch" is an authentic docu-
ment ? (Hear.)
Lord; J. RUSSELL—With regard to the document to
which the right hon. gentleman alludes I have to say
that, in the last despatch I saw from the British mi-
nister at St. Petersburg, Sir Henry Seymour says
that he had not then seen the despatch that is
allowed to have been written by Count Nesselrode.
No doubt, substantially, the "circular despatch " which
the right hon. gentleman has seen, as published in the pub-
lic journals, is an authentic document. I will not enter
into the particulars to which the right hon. gentleman has
referred ; I will merely say that I do not think, in the first

. -
place, that the Russian government can in any way sub-
'Amebae the fact that the entry of the Russian troops into
the principalities was occasioned by the sailing of the Eng-
lish fleet into the waters of the Porte. (Cheers.) Nor did
I understand from my reading of the document that
it contained any declaration that the matters pend-
ing between Russia and Turkey could not be ar-
ranged until the English and French fleets should have
left the Turkish waters. (Hear.)

AN ENGLISHMAN ARRESTED AT ODESSA.

TO TYR IDITOR OF TUX TIMM:

Sri,—lt has just come to my knowledge, and
!roman undeniable source, that a young English traveller,
with his passport is order, has been arrested at Odessa, on
the suspicion of his being a Pole in disguise. Up to last
amounts, the endeavours of oar coasul-general at that place
Is obtain bas liberty had been uneucceesfal. What say
Lords Aberdeen and Clarendon to this friendly reciproca-
kat of their lick.spittle peach riag to Kiwis?
The coarse taken by the Aberdeen ministry in the Turk-
ish question, so ab.y animadverted upon by you, must die-
gait ell Reg'ahem* a, and create contempt fur our country
is the minds of foreigner?. What are Lords John Russell
sad Palmerston doing to safeguard the interests and honour
of this country ? The inert/Len of the government, se
strongly in contradiction of the evident feelings of the
tuition at large, deserves the strongest reprobation ; and we
East hope that the conduct of the members of the house
will prove them to be worthy of the constituencies they
represent. I inclose my card, and remain, dm.,
Landes, July 11. A LIBERAL.

HOLTIIRAD NEW HARBOUR WORKS.—The new
harbour at H. lybead is now continually affording shelter
to lull numbers of vessels, which run in for protection,
the worts being so far advanced as to afford the required
refuge. As a harbour of refuge it is new being fully
tested, and when completed it will form the largest in the
kingdom. Hundreds of sail have put in during the last
dew months. An area of 316 acres is being enclosed by •
breakwater three-quarters of a mile in length, with a see
pier 2,000 feet in length, and the ge depth of water
will be upwards of 30 feet. A vast number of tons of
stone have been deposited to form the foreshore and break-
water, and the daily d 'livery into the sea has been at the
tote of 4,000 tons. This stone is obtained at " the Nona-
tea," about half a mile from Ilolyhead.

The committee on this bill was resumed.

At the previous sitting of the committee

and other produce," and upon this amendment the com-
mittee now divided, when there appeared,

levird on Christmas-day, Good Friday, or between sun-set
and sun-rise on Sunday, unless there be a fraudulent

he should oppose any further extension of it. (Hear.)

Mr. KEOGH had no objection to this clause, but he
hoped that on some future stage of the bill the house would

THE IRISH SOAP DUTY.
Mr. DAVISON, pursuant to notice, asked the Secretary
of the Treasury, whether the government meant to pee-
severe in their contemplated measure of prohibiting fee
ace year, flora the sth of July instant, the Irish mem-
facturer of soap from exporting soap to England, whilst
the English manufacturer was to be permitted to espies
soap to Ireland during that period, to the manifest injusdee
of the Irish trade ?
Mr WILSON replied that the notice prohibiting the ex-
port of Irish soap for a year after the reduction of the duty,
had been given in consequence of ita having come to the
knowledge of the government that extensive preparations
for the manufacture of the article were going forward, as it
was 'apposed for the purpose of obtaining the drawba ea
exportation. The warning which hie notice conveyed to the
Irish soap makers had however been sufficient; end a very
small increase in the quantity made for exportation had
taken piece; and it was not therefore intended to delay the
operation of the bill in regard to Ireland beyond the period
originally Ungraded.

FREE LIBRARY FOR FINSBURY.

Last evening a fully attended public meeting of
the inhabitants of Finsbury was held in the Royal British
Institution, Cowper-street, City.read, for the purpose of
establishing a free library for that district of the metropolis.
The Right Hun. the Loan MAYOR, M.P. took the chair,
at eight o'clock, and called upon Mr. Wall, the Secretary,
who read the letters which had been received, approving
the undertaking; among the writers were the Archbishop of
Canterbury, the Bishop of London, the Chancellor of the
Exchequer, the ;Marquis of Salisbury, Lord Goderich, Mr.
Frankland Lewis, the Earl of Radnor, Mr. Mammal, Mr.
Napier, M.P., &e.
The Loan MAYOR then addressed the meeting. and said
that the establishment of a Free Library for the borough of
Finsbury should have his most strenuous support. As a
working man he was fully convinced that this was a move
in the right direction. and from the inclination of the work-
ing man himself, at the present day, to avail himself of
every advantage offered him, there could he but little
doubt of the success of this laudable undertaking. (Hear.)
The meeting was addressed by Mr. Nicholls, Mr. C. F.
Streetan, Mr. George Cruickshank, and other gentlemen,
and a committee was appointed with the Lord Mayor for its
president.
A subscription was then entered into, headed by the
Lord Mayor, and after a vote of thanks to the right hon.
chairman, the meeting separated.

ELECTION OF A SHERIFF.

Yesterday a common hall was held for the elec-
tion of a sheriff, in the room of Mr. Sheppereon, who had
been elected together with Mr. Turnley, at the last com-
mon hall by means of one of those disgraceful election
manmanes in use for picking the pockets of gentlemen
liable to be put in nomination for the office.
The Lord Mayor and some of the Aldermen, the Sheriffs,
the &reorder, the Town Clerk, the City Solicitor, and
ether corporation officers appeared upon the hustings at
two o'clock, and
The RECORDER stated to the very meagre assembly,
whom he called the Livery, that they were met to sleet a
gentleman to with Mr. Turnley, as Sheriffs of Lon-
don and Sheriff of Middlesex, in the room of Mr. Shep-
?anon, who had been excused from taking upon himself
the office by the vote of the Court of Common Council, on
assrant of ill health.
The COMMON Cana then announced Alderman Win
and Mr. Thomas Norris as the names of the candidates for
the vacant office, and the majority of hands appeared for
the bean gentleman, who was accordingly declared in the
anal form to he elected.
The hall was then dissolved.

tanees between Westminster Hall and every street

in the map of London were shrouded in impene-
trable mystery. There was no authority to

which he could refer to enable him to conquer
the difficulties that beset him when once enclosed in
a cab. He knew well enough that the distance
between the House and his home or his club was a

moot point amongst the whole fraternity of cabmen,
and that he was never certain what particular
amount between one shilling and three would
be demanded by the hitt: who might base
the honour of carrying him away from the
lecene of his labours. The men who ought

to have known the most about the matter were all
in a state of incurable discord. They agreed but in

the general tone of the counti) press warrants the
expectation that, with the exception of some parti-
cular localities, the crop will be a full one. The St.
Louis Republican of the 12th of June says most of
the wheat between Memphis and that city has been
cut, and the dry weather has favoured in getting it
in. The yield is very abundant.

SHARE LISTS.

MONDLY ETZNINO.
The railway market to-day opened firmly, but
afterwards slightly receded. As of late this depart-
ment responds quickly to the variations of the fund,'
but in itself it retains the sound character noticed for
some time past. The transactions in railway shares
remain very limited, and the fluctuation to-day was
proportionately trifling.

THIS DAY.—Two o'CLocK.

Business in the railway market to-day hu been
even more restricted than of late, and quotations are
in most instances nominally unaltered. Lancashire
and Yorkshires, and London and North-Westerns
have shown firmness, other stocks being generally
dull. _ .

French shares are a shade flatter than the 4 o'clock
price. of yesterday. Northern, are quoted 3. to ;
Strasbourg., 3O to I; Lyons, 161 to prem.

PARLIAMENTARY COMMITTEES.

OPERATION OF TN
HE SLONDON.MOKE CONSUMING ACT
I
The Committee of the HOU.. of Lords on the
Whitechapel Improvement Bill (the Berl of Derby in the
chair), took some interesting evidence, last week, on the ope-
ration of,the SmokeConsamingAct throughout London. Pro-
lessor Braude, Superintendent of the Coining Department of
the Mint, deposed that the furnaces there were supplied with
the smoke consuming apparatus, and that the volumes of
smoke that formerly annoyed the neighbourhood were now
done away with. Carbonic acid gas was evolved, however,
in invisible smoke, but not to an extent deleterious or in-
jurious to health. A material saving resulted in the lower
price of the coal burned. One or two of the breweries of
the city of London, the smoke from which used to be a treat
nuisance, now consumed it entirely, and the saving effected
in the feel was calculated to pay the first coot of apparatus
in the coarse of three years. Mr. Leicester, foreman to
Mesa. Easton and Amos, engineers of the waterworks
that supply the Houses of Lords and Commons,
and Trafalgar square, stated the operation of the sys-
tem in the neighbourhood of the National Gallery
was Eland very effective, and he believed it was
found equally so at Barclay and Perkins', Truman and
Banbury's, and at the other large breweries, where the
Jukes apparatus was employed, and was of opinion that it
might be used advantageously in preventing the smoke nui-
sance in all parts of London, and so give the metropolis a
comparatively clear sky. Mr. Perkins, engineer, stated
there bad been a difficulty in carrying out the smoke con-
suming act in the City, and arising from the necessary miters-
lion of the works in the time prescribed by the •et. Smoke
was not quite abolished in the city of London) et, but it
wee quite time it should be. He was not aware there had
hi= any prosecutions there for non-compliance with the
mit. His attention had been directed by the city authorities
to inventions for the purpose, and he recommended the
Juke's apparatus, and that of Mr. Lee Stevens, for prevent-
ing the formation of smoke, and which were now being
brought into general operation. Mr. J. Liddell, surgeon, of
Whitechapel, thought it highly desirable the set should be
extended to that district, as the smoke from the furnaces
was a serious annoyance to the comfort and health of the
inhabitants.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MARK LANE.-THIS DAY.

There was rather more English Wheat 1 market this
morning, and before much progress could be made in sales
a decline of Is. to 2e. per qr. had to be submitted to. Our
market was well attended by distant country millers, who
were not disposed to pay prices asked for foreign Wheat.
Holders, hoer , were tolerably firm in their demand,
and the turn in price only was in favour of the buyer.
Flour was steady at former prices.
Barley was in good supply, and scarcely sold so well as
last week.
The receipts of Oats have been large, and a reduction of
6d per or. had to be submitted to.
Beans and Peas were fully as dear as before.

The New Zwick Geratte mentions that a telegra-

euis, atLusano, in which he states that the troops
at ' had been called out, and several arrests made
by the authorities.
A letter of the 10th from Florence, in the Cor-
riere Mercantile of Genoa, states that on the 4th
Guerrazzi had an attack of cerebral congestion which
threatened death; but that, after being bled twice, the
most alarming symptoms disappeared. The physicians
have expressed an opinion that a second attack may be
expected unless the prisoner be allowed fresh air and
exercise.

The report of the committee appointed by the
Piedmontese Chamber of Deputies, to consider the
bill for a subsidy to the Lombard emigrants, con-
tains the following declaration, which may be consi-
dered the substance of it :—" The difference with
Austria does not admit on our part of any other solu-
tion save the pure and simple revocation of the seques-
tration."
London, England, 1853-05-16

SPAIN.

A Madrid letter of the 9th says: " As Count de
San Luis has refused the portfolio of the Ministry of
Foreign Affairs, it is said that it will be conferred on
M. Galiano, minister at Lisbon. General Nerves: is
no longer spoken of for the embassy at Paris, but, it
is said, that the Marquis de Viluma, minister at
Naples, will obtain it; and that M. Salvador Bur-
maclez de Castro, brother of the Minister of Finance,
will go to the latter city."
The Espana warns the public against placing im-
plicit credit in the telegraphic despatches sent from
Madrid by private individuals; and it denies the
statements made in two of them received in Paris
some days ago, that the meeting of the Cortes has
been fixed for July next (the cabinet not having yet,
it says, deliberated on the question).

INotoo.-The sale te-day is progressing heavily, out of
Catalogue B i.e., second-hand parcels.
TEI.-There was a large business done on Saturday, and
the demand to-day is active, particularly for Congou, from
Is. 3d. to IL 6d. ; common Congou quoted firm at 'ltd. to
Is., which is fully id. advance on Friday last. The news
received by the Mail is more adverse than was anticipated,
as the trade at Shanghai is not stopped by a panic amongst
the European merchants at that pert, but from the native
merchants quitting it for a period, turning all into gold and
leaving it from fear of the rebel army, which shows the
danger apprehended by those who are best inf.rmed on the
subject.
