THE DISTURBANCES AT JASSY.

Both the Temps and the A velar National of to-
day see in the abortive attempt at insurrection in
Jassy the intriguing hand of Russia. The Nord,
on the other hand, says that the disturb-
ances were the natural result of the
growing discontent of the Moldavian people,
and that it is idle to attribute them to
foreign influence. " A portion of the responsi-
bility," it adds, " must rest with the great powers
of Europe, who have allowed the Danubian
Principalities to remain without a regular and
legal government for two months. Will the disorders
at Jassy at length open their eyes, or will the
elements of strife and anarchy be allowed to
accumulate in the Principalities, till it be too late
to restore order, otherwise than at the cost of
painful sacrifices, which a little more promptitude
and energy on their part might easily have rendered
unnecessary 1"

THE PRINCE OF ROUMANIA.

Prince Charles of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen,
who has been elected to rule the united principalities of
Wallachia and Moldavia as Prince (or Hospodar) of Rou-
mania, in the room of the deposed Prince Count, is second
son of Prince Charles Antoine, the head of the House of
Hohenzollern-Slipamingen, who, it will be remembered,
renounced his rights in favour of the late King of Prussia
in 1849, receiving the prerogatives of a puisne prince of
the royal house, and who, as late as 1881, was, in his
own person only, raised to the rank of royal highness.
The new ruler chosen for the Principalities is the issue of
the marriage of his father to Josepbine•Frederioa Louise,
daughter of the late Grand Duke Charles Louis Frederic
of Baden, and is now within a few days of completing his
27th year, having been born on April 20, 1839. The bap-
tismal Carom given to Ma highness were Charles Ritel
Frederick Zephyrin Louis. He is at present in the Prussian
military service as an officer in the 2nd Regiment of Dra-
goons. His highness has three brothers—Prince Leopold
(the heir to the family honours), Prince Antoine, and
Prince Frederick ; also a sister, the Princess Marie. The
new prince is connected with the reigning family of
France ; his aunt, the Princess Frederica-Wilhehnina,
having married, in 1844, Joachim Napoleon, Marquis
Pepoli, grandson of the King of Naples, Joachim Murat.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.)
El PARTE LEIGHTON U Lwrawron.—DANIMPTCY.
The question in this appeal ',imply was whither under
the statutory provisions of the Bankruptcy Act a clerk whet
in the absence of his employer, was in charge of boob end
documents belonging to a person whom it was sought to
adjudicate bankrupt, was bound to produce them at the
order of the court. It was contended that such a person
could not be said to have such legal poseession of the
books as to make him subject to the order.
M. De Ger was for the appeal ; Mr. Bacon and Mr. Reed
on the other side.
The Lord Chancellor was of opinion that on the evi-
dence the books were not in the custody, power, or pos-
session of the clerk ; and if an order was made on him to
produce them, he might be subject to an action. The order
must be discharged, and the appeal dismissed with costa.

REDISTRIBUTION OF SPATS.

Mr. MARSH asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether government had come to any final determination
with regard to the promised bill for the redistribution of
seats; what boroughs, if any, were to be amalgamated with
others; what, if any, were to be wholly disfranchised;
what were to he partially disfranchised, and how the seats
taken from those boroughs were to be distributed. And
whether it was the intention of the government to keep its
views on them subjects concealed from the members of the
house until after the division on the government bill!

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—With re-
spect to the threefold question of my hon. friend, it is not
our practice—it certainly is not my practise--to consider
any determination of the government final or irrevocable
until the pi oiler time for acting upon them in the house
has arrived. Therefore, until that time has come, I can-
not give the hon. member any information in
answer to the Bret question. With respect to the
second part of the question, I think it is quite
plain that it could not be answered satisfactorily,
except by the production of the bill. With regard to the
third point, it appears to ask simply whether the govern-
ment intend to do that which they have already said they
would do. (A laugh.) I may misunderstand my hon.
friend, but if he will explain any point beyond that upon
which declarations have already been made by the govern-
ment, or whether or not, I will take the opportunity of
obviating any misunderstanding by stating the intention of
government when I am addressing the house on the
amendment of my noble friend.

COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.—Aran, 16.

Bitting. in Banco.—(Before Lord Chief Justice Erie, and
Justices Byles, Keating, and Smith.)
SULAM D. JACOBS.
'

Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., said that tii; defendant in this
case had supplied some plant to the Glucose Sugar Com-
pany, and subsequently issued an execution against them
for the sum due to him. He then found that the plaintiff
claimed the property seized in execution under a bill of
sale, and this was an interpleader issue to try the validity
of the deed. The jury found for the plaintiff ; but it was
now submitted to the court that the MR of sale Vras bad
upon the following grounds : that the company had no
power to give a bill of sale ; that there was no description
in the document of the business carried on by the com-
pany ; and that the addressee of two directors who signed
as attesting witnesses were not given.
The court held that the company had power to give the
bill of sale, and that their business was sufficiently de-
scribed by the name of the company. As to the other
point, they were of opinion that the two directors had not
signed as attesting witnesses at all, but as directors, in as
with the course of business.
Rule refused.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-ApRIL 16.

(The Judges in this Court were Lord Chief Baron Pollock,
and Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Pigott.)
lITLEB n. LZADEII AND CYl'HiltA.
'" "

Mr. Manisty said this was an action for libel, tried before
Mr. Justice Keating at Leeds, when a verdict was returned
for the defendant, and he wee instructed on the part of
the plaintiff to move for a rule to show cause why there
should not be a new trial on the ground of misdirection.
It was au action for libel published in the Sheffield and
Rotherhaesheclependent newspaper, and the libel complained
of was contained in a report of the proceedings before a
registrar of the Court of Bankruptcy on making his visita-
tion at York Castle, for the examination of debtors under
the provisions of the Bankruptcy Act. The inquiry
by the registrar was to ascertain whether a person named
Gray, was in the gaol, ought to be adjudicated a
bankrupt,
or otherwise dealt with. Grayhad two partners
in a brewery, bet it was only wan individual that the pro-
ceedimai were taken againsthim. One of his partners was
the plaintiff, an attorney, and the statement complained of
inthenewepaperwasthat that gentleman had compromised
with his creditors, whereas it was proved at the trial not
only that he had not done so, but that he had no idea of
entering into any compromise with them. The defence
was that what took place before the registrar was a pro-
ceeding in a court of justice, and that there being no
malice and the report not being unfair, it *MA a privileged
report, and therefore did not render the defendants liable.
The question now was whether the court held by the re-
gistrar for the purpoee in question was a court of justice.
Mr. Baron Martin—What view did Mr. Justice Keating
take bf the matter? . . .

Mr. Manisty—Re ruled that it was a judicial pro-
ceeding.
Mr. Baron Martin—Of which any man present mild
take a note and publish it.
Mr. Manisty—That is the question.
The Lord Chief Baron—The registrar has power to make
anorder of adjudication in bankruptcy, to grant protection,
and order the release of a prisoner. Surely those are
judicial proceedings.
After some discussion, and reference to the different
authorities upon the point,
The Lord Chief Baron said he should be sorry to fetter
the freedom of the press in the publication of judicial pro-
ceedings, but there might be a question whether a report
of what took place before the registrar was protected by
the law, and therefore a rule would be granted.
Rule nisi.

Mr. Walton, the Queen's remembrancer, read a notice
stating that the court had, in pursuance of the power given
to it by the Crown Suits, &c., Act, 1865, sanctioned
certain rules of court for regulating the procedure and
practice in suits by English information.

THE NORTHUMBERLARD.

In the face of an adverse tide, and still more ad-
verse wind, it was not deemed prudent to make any
attempt at moving this vessel yesterday. The tide pre-
vious to that due at noon yesterday had risen as high as
23ft. Sin. under the veseers stern, and one still higher was
anticipated to follow. Unfortunately, however, the wind
chafed, and blew strongly from the south-west, not only
keeping down the rise of the flood, but rendering the
chances of the floating still more desperate than before.
As the vessel is now placed, it is intended to
launch her with her stern up the river from
the works, where the water is considerably deeper, but
with the wind blowing as strongly as it did yesterday
from the opposite quarter it was feared that as the launch
programed the wind would have sufficient force to turn the
Northumberland's stern down the stream and into shal-
lower water,where she might probably take the ground.
To these difficulties was added another still more urgent.
The greatest difficulty had been experienced during Sunday
night in getting a huge " camel " fixed under the s arbosrd
quarter, quite astern. The divers worked with unremit-
ting energy all through the night, paining the chains under
the stem, and reeving" them through blocks over
the " camel" securely to the chip's side. The greatest
difficulty, however, was experienced in effecting this,
owing to the uneven nature of the ground, and though the
men actually worked as the tide ram till they were almost
up to their necks in water, they were unable to secure
this " camel " so eompletely as to ensure Its doing Ho
work in the best way. Some idea of the difficulty of
securing these " camels" may be formed when we state
that the chains have to he passed under them by
divers and the labourers have nearly always to work
up to 'their, waists in water. As the tide rose yester-
day it was seen that the " camel" we have mentioned was
insufficiently secured. Its buoyancy is equal to a weight
of nearly 330 tons, and as this has to be kept beneath the
vessel's bottom, completely under water, it will he easily
seen that the most powerful and unyielding fastenings are
necessary to keep it in its place. The adverse wind
and tide prevented this being properly accom-
plished yesterday, and the huge buoy showed such
unmistakable signs of getting loose from its fasten-
ings as the tide rose that, on the unanimoua ad-
vice of all the engineering and nautical authorities, it was
determined to make no attempt that day. The valves of all
the " camels" were accordingly kept open till they filled
sufficiently with water to lose their buoyancy, and a large
party of riggers were immediately set to work, as the tide
fell, to secure in the most effectual manner the buoy which
had failed. This was successfully accomplished during
the low water of last evening, and to-day everything will
be in readiness at 3 o'clock for a concentrated, and we
might almost say final, effort.

CHINA.

From Canton the following news is published in
the &ruing Mail :—" The successes of the Imperial-
ists in the north-east of Kwang-tung, which were
recorded recently, have taken the shape of a
more complete victory even than we anticipated.
The entire body of rebels under the lead of the
Kang-wang, numbering some 50,000, and forming
the last residuum of the Taipings, have been either
slaughtered or taken prisoners. About 20,000
perished in a conflict lasting two entire days—the
Bth and oth February—and the remainder have
surrendered themselves to the Imperial command-
ers. The latter have already commenced the work of
disbanding their troops, whilst the civil authori-
ties are busy with arrangements for dispersing the
prisoners, with whom, to the number of upwards
of thirty thousand, they find themselves burdened.
The victorious general, P'ao Chao, has already left
for Hankow, where he is to take the field against
the Nien Fei. This success, wiping out the last
trace of the Taiping rebellion, will no doubt be
peculiarly gratifying to the Peking government."
Peking advices state that a mission is to be ap-
pointed to proceed to Europe, and that Mr. Wade
and Mr. Hart will accompany it. We are also in-
formed that it is intended to take with the mission
sir of the pupils now studying English and French
at Peking. The Orerland (Una Mail thinks this
news needs confirmation.

THE REFORM RILL

The adjourned debate on the motion for the second read-
ing of the Representation of the People Bill was then
resumed.

Lord CRANBORNE, on rising, was met with cries of
" Spoke" from some members on the ministerial side. He
said a word had reached him from the other aide which he
should be happy to deal with first. The course he had
taken on the previous night was, in his opinion, in strict
accordance with the rules of the house ; however that
might be, he was prepared to argue the question on
the fitting occasion, but he believed it had been
agreed that no further action should be taken
on the subject. (Hear.) In dealing with this question,
the first feeling which must press upon the mind of every
person who advocated the amendment was that of ridding
himself from certain odious charges which it had been the
policy of the supporters of the bill to cast upon all who
opposed it. It hail been said by the noble lord the member
for Haddington (Lord Elcho) that defamation of opponents
was one of the many engines by which the amendment was
opposed. ("Oh, oh," and cheers.) He wished before
going into the hill to deal with those imputations which
had been so freely made, especially by the Chancellor of
the Exchequer. (Hear, hear.) It was necessary before
discussing the bill at all that they should first make their
confession of faith with respect to the working men. The
Chancellor of the Exchequer had thrown imputations of
the gravest and most damaging character upon all
members upon the opposition side of the house,
and, indeed, upon all who supported the amend-
ment; and, not content with throwing those im-
putations in the house—indeed, in the house they had
appeared in a milder and more modified form—(cheers)—
the right hon. gentleman went down to Lancashire where
there were no opponents to answer him, and where he
could make what statements he pleased without fear of
being corrected, and made accusations of a most dangerous
character against those who opporied his bill. The right hon.
gentleman toll his audience there that members on the
opposition side of the house readily and earnestly accepted
the imputation that they had treated the working classes
as an invading army. There was not the slightest founda-
tion for that imputation. (Hear, hear.) 'When first the
Chancellor of the Exchequer made it he had protested
against it, because as he and the hon. member for
Stoke were the only speakers who followed the
right hon. gentleman in the debate he had
thought the right hon. gentleman had by some
misapprehension come to that oonclio.ion from some words
of thews. He had since ascertained that it was not from
these words that the Chancellor of the Exchequer drew'

FEES PAYABLE IN IRELAND ON THE REGIS-
TRATION OF ESTAT.
The Marquis of CLANRICARDE presented a petition
relating to the fees payable in Ireland upon the registra-
tion of titles to estates, and moved for copies of certain
returns in relation thereto, and also for a return of the
duty paid upon declarations of title made and registered in
each year up to the present time. The noble marquis
complained that the fees charged in Ireland were exorbi-
tant ns compared with the charges for the same pur-
pose in England, and also that these charges operated aa
bar to registration of estates in that country ; and he
wanted to know when the government would take steps
to have View charges reduced to a proper and equitable
amount.
The Eml of BELMORE said he wished to ask whether
the government would soon make known their decision
upon thin subject, as he had called the attention of his
noble friend the tinder-Secretary for War to it some time
ago.
Lord DL'FFERIN, in reply to the motion of the noble
marquis, said there would be no objection to the returns
which he had moved for. He regretted to say he was still
unable to supply the information sought for by his noble
friend opposite, and all he could state at present was that
the matter was still under the consideration of the go-
vernment.
The motion was then put and agreed to.

BANBURY.

The committee appointed to try the merits of
the petition of Charles Bell against the return of Bernhard
Samuelson. on the ground of his being incapacitated by
reason of his being an alien, met at 11 o'clock.
The committee consists of the following members :
Right Hon. W. Mowbray (Chairman), Mr. Wm. Bovill,
Mr. G. C. Glyn, Mr. John Locke, and Lord R. Montagu.
Counsel for the petitioner: Mr. Rodwell, Q.C., Mr.
Milward, Q.C., and Mr. Williams. For the sitting mem-
ber: Mr. Phinn, Q.C., Mr. Vernon Harcourt, Q.C., and
Mr. Raymond.
Mr. Rodwell, in opening the case on behalf of the peti-
tioner, said he should ask the committee to declare that the
last election for Banbury was a void election, on the
ground that Mr. Bernhard Samuelson, the sitting mem-
ber, was wholly incapacitated and disqualified
from sitting in parliament, by reason of his being
an alien, and not entitled to the rights and privileges of
natural born subjects of the crown within the meaning of
statutes. He should put in a certificate from the resister
of births in the German Israelite community of Hamburg,
which showed that in the year 1820, on the 22nd Novem-
ber, at 3 o'clock in the morning, in that place, a male child
was born to Samuel Hermann Samuelson, a native
of Petersburg, in Virginia, and his wife, and that child,
I afterwards named Bernhard Samuelson, was the present
! sitting member for Banbury. Having done that.the onus
! of proof would lie upon the sitting member to show that
I he was entitled either by statute or by any other mode to
sit in parliament. The learned counsel then called,
Mr. Naylor, the clerk to the Crown, who produced the
return of the Banbury elections, with the poll books, &c.
The certificates of Mr. Samuelson's birth and of his
father and mother's marriage were also put in.

This was the case for the petitioner.
Mr. Phinn contended on behalf of the sitting member,
that there was no cue whatever against his client.
Assuming that Mr. Samuelson was born abroad, and that

he was the son of a person who was also born abroad, that
would not be sufficient to constitute him an alien, as the
law upon the subject was that the son or grandson of
• natural born subject of the crown, inherited
all the privileges of a natural born subject him-
self and was in fact no alien. It had not been proved
that Mr. Samuelson was not the grandson of a natural
born subject, which indeed he was, his grandfather having
been born in London, and his learned friend having
failed in that point he (Mr. Phinn) contended that no
ease had been made out. The learned counsel cited •
number of cases in order to bear out his view of the law
upon the subject.

THE CATTLE DISEASE.

Mr. H. LEWIS asked the Secretary for the Home De-
partment whether he bad received information that the
provinces of Friesland and Groningen were entirely free
from the rinderpest ; and if so, whether it was his inten-
tion to take steps to modify the existing restrictions on
the importation of cattle and sheep from those provinces.
Sir G. GREY said representations had been received by
the committee of council to the effect that the two pro.
vinces referred to were free from the cattle plague, and
that the restriction on the importation of cattle from those
provinces should be removed. Before that could be done,
however, there must be strict inquiries made in order to
guard against cattle from other places being imported
through those provinces, and also to secure that the cattle
should not in the transit come into contact with diseased
animals.

THE MARRIAGE LAWS.
In answer to Mr. D IACSON,
Mr. Setant ARMSTRONG said that the Marriages
(Ireland) No. 2 Rill would not vontain any provision inter-
fering with the existing state of the law as to marriages
between two protestant* by a Roman catholic clergyman.
The bill would be in the hands of members to-morrow.

CITY TRAFFIC.

- - - - --
Mr. 0, STANLEY gave notice of his intention to ask
the Home Secretary on Monday, whether, in accordance'
with the special report of the City Traffic Committee, the
commissioners of police in their respective districts had
been instructed to submit regulations for the traffic of the
metropolis.
ELECTORAL STATISTICS.

Mr. DISRAELI presented a petition from certain elec. I
tors of Rochdale, stating that the petitioners had noticed
with great surprise that the number of the working classes
upon the parliamentary register in the borough was stated
by the government returns to be only 68. The petitioners
bad made inquiries as to the number of working men on
the register within the instructions of the Poor-law Board,
and found the number in these townships to be 226
(hear, hear)—and this did not include any overworkers,
overseers, superintendents, or foremen, or any persons not
employed in daily manual labour. He had another peti-
tion to present from Borstal, signed by Mr. Enoch Waigly,
who repeated him to say that he was a strong liberal
in politics, stating that he was chairman of the board of
goardiana, and that according to the returns prepared by
the direction of the Poor-law Ilmrd, out of a constituency
in one parish of 680 there were 197 working men. The
petitioner expressed surprise that the aocuracy of this return
had been denied in • petition presented to the house, and
stated that the guardians had made strict inquiries, and
bad satisfied themselves of the strict accuracy of the
statement furnished by their clerk. (Hear.) The petitioner
further stated that although a considerable number of these
working men did keep beer-houses or small shops—(cries
of ' Hear, hear" from the ministerial side)—such shops or
beer-houses were attended to by their wives or other mem-
bers of their family, and that they themselves all worked
as potters or colliers, or in some other form of manual
labour at weekly wages. (Hear, hear.) Another petition
which he had been asked to present was from Ashton-
under-Lyric, and was very much to the same effect. It
stated that according to the electoral returns the numberof
working linen in the constituency was 188, whereas the
actual number sent up by the clerk was 350, and the reduc-
tion had been made by the exclusion of overlookers in
cotton mills and others who were engaged in manual labour
at weekly wages.
Mr. CRAWFORD—What is the prayer of these peti-
timri,

Mr. DISRAELI— The prayer of the petition from Ashton-
under-Lyne is for inquiring into the number of working
class electors, and also into the circumstances under which
they are put upon the register, having reference to the
allegation with respect to what are called vote shops. The
other petitions also pray for inquiry.
