COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS-

MARK-LANE.-(THIS

Coastwise as well as by rail the receipt' of homegrown
wheat were sgaan very moderate. In consequence of the
unfavourable weather, the trade for both red and white
parcels ruled firm, and Monday's quotations were fully
supported.
With foreign wheat the market was well, but not exten-
sively, supplied. For all descriptions the demand was
firm, and the prices realised were quite equal to those pre-
viously quoted.
Floating cargoes of grain were held on former terms,
The transactions were to a fair extent. _ _

There was only a moderate supply of foreign barley on
the stands, and no English. AU kinds moved off freely, at
the late advance in prices.
Malt was quiet, on runner terms. The supply was sea-
sonably extensive.
In oats sales progressed slowly, and the value of inferior
Russian bad a tendency. The supply of foreign
was good, of Englis small.
Beans supported late rates, with a moderate demand.
Peas were trio at previous currencies.
Flour was held at late currencies. _ _

iii;eedinTnipee;e4 riiWq:ulei. and agricultural seeds
moved off slowly. Cakes ruled firm.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSS OF LORDS.-T; AU.;I'NT

is the Houma of Losos yesterday, on the order
of the day for the third reading (4 the Representa-
tion of the People fill, Lord ft %%!.,:-.%‘lOltTH tnr
tested against the reversal of the decision of their
lordahips with respect to the lodger qualification,
which he considered was now Fsed at far too low a
figure. lie feared that the bill would give a great
preponderance of political power to artisans, who
were too much under the control of trades unions.
He sii....,ested that the three new boroughs in
Durham should be united, and also Gateshead and
Newcastle, a. that the restrictions in the bill as to
three-eurnensl constituencies might be applied to
them.

Lord 14.otsmut: expressed his gratification at
the rejection 44 the enfranchisement schemes of
Earl trey and Lord Halifax. He believed the
measure would be final if the leaders of the two
great parties refused to countenance any further
agitation against it for party purposes.
Earl Fouresuez could not believe in the per-
manence of the proposed unsatisfactory distribution
of seats and the abolition of the very useful system
of compounding.
Earl Russeu, hoped that whatever might be the
merits or demerits of the measure itself, it would, at
least for some time to come, effect a settlement of
the question ; but he could not conceal his fears
that it would lead to a great increase of corrup-
tion among the classes who really took no interest
in polities. Neyertheless, he had no apprehension
that the people would abuse the powers conferred
upon them ; and so far as the great body of the
people were concerned, he did not think that the
institutions of the country were in danger. But
with regard to the distribution of seats, he could
not agree that the final decision rested, as alleged
by Lord Redesdale, with the leaders of parties. It
rested rather with public opini in. But though he
regretted that the distribution scheme was not
more extensive, he did not believe that it would
lead to any serious agitation. He twitted the
government with their sudden change of opinion,
and while he admitted that their policy had been
successful, said it was most unprecedented, and he
trusted would never be practised again.
The bill was then read a third time.

The Earl of DERBY then, on the part of the go-
vernment, thanked their lordships for the manner
iu which they had dealt with the bill. During an
experienix of 45 years he never knew a bill of such
importance being discussed with so little acerbity
and party spirit. It was true that the bill was a
great experiment, and that in some measure they
wcre taking a leap in the dark, but he had that
confidence in the sound sense of his fellow-coun-
trymen, that he trusted that the extended franchise
now conferred upon them would place the institu-
tions of the country on a firmer basis,and increase
the loyalty and contentment of a large portion of
her Majesty's subjects.
The bill then passed.
The order of the day for the third reading of the
Railway Guards and Passengers Communication
Bill was discharged.
The Agricultural Gangs Bill, and the Canongate
Annuity Tax (Edinburgh) Bill were respectively
read a third time and passed ; and several other
bills having been advanced a stage, the house ad-
journed at twenty minutes to eight o'clock.

DOUSE OF COMMONS.—Tutsntv, Avows'. 6.
IN the House of Commows, at the morning sit-
ting, Lord &Aster, in reply to a question from
Mr. MARIX)N, stated that the correspondence
between her Majesty's government and the govern-
ment of the United States relating to the Confede-
rate steamship Alabama would be laid on the table
of the house before the close of the session.

Mr. HUNT, in reply to Mr. GRAVES, stated that
the tenders for the conveyance of her Majesty's
mails from the United Kingdom to New York were
asked for under the convention with America, and
that it was not intended to confine the tender to
ships sailing under the British flag, but the Post-
master-General would give the preference to British
vessels.

On the order of the day forgoing into committee
on the Exi,iring Laws Continuance Bill,

Mr. M roitaarts called attention to the anoma-
lous and unsatisfactory state of our existing trea•
ties of extradition with foreign powers. He cited
the case of Lamirande, who stole a sum of money
from a bank at Poitiers, and fled to Canada, where
he was arrested, not on the charge of stealing—for
the treaty did not apply to that—but on a trumped
np charge of forgery, to which the treaty did apply,
and he was taken to France, and sentenced to ten
years' imprisonment. If this could be done no
foreigner was safe in this country, but he might at
any moment be arrested on a trumped up charge
of forgery, with the real object of trying him in his
own country for a political offence. The proper
course was to pass an act which should settle, once
and for all, the principle on which these treaties
should be based, and that a reasonable time—say
two months—should be named as the period dur-
ing which any man arrested at the instance of a
foreign government might claim the right to sue
out a writ of habeas corpus.
Mr. LAYARI) thought that the principle of these
treaties was altogether wrong, and that a committee
of the house should lay down the principles on
which they should be based.
Mr. NEATB thought that a more mischievous
speech was never made in the house than the
speech of Mr. Torrens.
Sir F. GOLDSMID lamented that the house should
be called upon to discuss these treaties without
greater facilities for disposing of the matter per-
manently.
Mr. WATS!!! observed that it was for the advan-
tage of all communities that criminals should be
arrested and punished, and he justified the course
taken in the Larmrande case.

Mr. J. 8. MILL remarked that the cue of
Lamirantle showed strongly that we could not rely
on the evidence tendered to us by foreign govern-
ments.

Lord STANLEY reminded the house that the bill
was of a very limited character, and merely gave
legal effect to copies of documents. The case of
Laruirande was an unsatisfactory one, and the diffi-
culty he found in demanding his release was that
the error was committed by our own authorities.
It was said that a man might be arrested on a false
charge, and then, when he arrived in his own
country, be tried for a political offence. He did not
think that possible, but should such a case occur we
should have a full right to demand the man back.
He declined to follow Mr. Turrena' argument,
which went to the whole principle of extradition,
but he had no objection to the whole matter being
considered by a committee next session.
The discussion was continued by Sir G. BowYEE
and Mr. HENLEY, after which the house went
into committee on the bill, and its clauses were
agreed to.

SWIM WAS made in committee on the
Contagious..

The Public Health. (Scotland) Bill, the Turnpike
Acts Continuance Bill, and the Recovery of certain
Debts (ScotWA) Bill were respectively read a third

Public Works (Ireland) Bill, and the Patriotic Fund

the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
the amendments were ordered to be printed and to
be taken into consideration on Thursday.
The sitting was suspended at 7 o'clock.
The house re-assembled at nine o'clock.

The CHA.NC&LLOR of the EXCHEQUER stated, in
reply to Mr. Ayrton, that on Thursday, when he
moved that the Lords' amendments to the Repre-
sentation of the People Bill be considered, he would
take a general view of those amendments. and state
the course which the government would recommend
the house to pursue respecting them.
Mr. BRETT moved that an address be presented
to her Majesty, praying that she would consider the
sentence of the court-martial held at Simla on
Captain .Jervis, with a view to reinstate that officer
in his rank in the army and in his regiment. Cap-
tain Jervis, he stated, was tried on charges of
having fraudulently misappropriated the property
