The [louse met at five o'clock.

Lord Dungannon gave notice, that, on Monday next, he
would ask the President of the Council when the report
of the commissioners respecting the riots at Belfast was
likely to be printed and laid upon the table of the House.
The Earl of Ellenborough gave notice, the, on Monday
next he would move that there be laid before the
House a copy of the Army Act lately passed by the
Legislative of the Council of India ; also a return of
all native and European newspapers licensed under the act
of the Legislative Counil of India, passed on the 13th of
Juno last, also letters of warning addressed to the editors
of any such native and European newspapers respective,
and of all restrictions of the license of any of such news-
paper, and of all correspondence relating to the restitution
thereof.

The Bishop of Oxford expressed regret that notice had
been given for the second reading of the Religious Wor-

ceeding with the second reading on Monday.
The Bishop of St. David's complained that the Episcopal
Bench had not been consulted in regard to the measure,
and that notice had not been given for their consideration
of its details.

by the noble earl was in accordance with the rules of the
Bowie, but, at the same time, recommended the noble earl
to postpone the second reading.
After some further observations,

The Earl of Shaftesbury said he would, on Monday,
state the object of the bill, and then move its postpone-

The subject then dropped, and the lloasc adjourned at
half-past five o'clock.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY.
The Speaker took the chair at 4 o'clock.
Sir De Lacy Evans gave notice that ou Thursday next
he should move for a select committee to enquire into the
measures recently adopted by Her Majesty's Government
for the transmission of troops and stores to India.
In reply to questions from Mr. Knatchbull HugAssan,
Mr. Massy said an Ecclesiastical Commission Bill would
probably be introduced into the other house of parliament
shortly, but be could not say that it would be the same as
the bill of last session.
It was the intention of the Government, after the Easter
recess, to introduce a bill relative to Highways.
Replying to Mr. Green,
Mr. H. Herbert said that the report upon the subject of
Endowed Schools in Ireland had been delayed, is conse-
quence of the illness of one of the Commissioners, but he
expected that it would be laid before Parliament during
the recess.

Mr. Crawfori askel whether arrangements b.-A been
made, or convention sentered into, by, or on behalf of her
Majesty's GJvernment, with any companies, individuls or
foreign Governments, for establishing telegraphic cosa-
municatimi with Egypt and India, and whether any
negotiations were now pending, and with whom,
in reference thereto.

the Bank of Eagland circulated in round numbers
£20,000,000, and Scotland and Ireland £18,000,000,
making a total of £38,000,000. The object of the Act
of Sir Robert Peel was to provide a security against
excessive issues of paper, but Le had himself admitted that
circumstance might justify the suspension of its opera-
tion, and the conduct of the Government in taking upo❑
itself this responsibility, in 1847, bad met with the appro-
bation of Parliament. The circumstances in ]847, were
do doubt different from the circumstances in the present
year, but the result was the same, and the urgency was
greater. These panics appeared to ha►e been contem-
plated by Sir Robert Peel, and he had recommended that
if a monetary crisis occurred, in spite of the
precautions taken against it, that some one should take
the responsibility of suspending the operation of
the Act of 1844. The letter to the Bank was the
spontaneous act of the Government, not occasioned by the
the pressure of mercantile interests, and for it they alone
were responsible.. Therefore, if the House thought fit to
censure the conduct of ministers, it would still be their
duty to pass an act of indemnity for the directors of the
Bank. The Right Hon. gentleman proceeded to explain
the extent of the violation of the law, in consequence of
the Government letter, and quoted figures, showing that on
the 13th Nov., the amount in the hands of the public
beyond what the Bank was entitled by law to issue, was
£186,000, on the following day it was £022,000, and on the
20th Nov., it reaohed the maximum of £928,000, on the 21st
it fell to £617,010, on the 23rd to £397,000,
and on the 24th to £317,000, and on the 25'h to OEBI,OOO.
The right hon. gentleman proceeded to argue, that if the
Government had not taken the sty to which they resorted,
the bank must have stopped payment, and of the extent of
the evil which would follnw, he left the committee to
judge. He explained that it would be necessary t 3 intro-
duce in the bill a provision to enable the bank to exceed
the limited issue of notes for a period of twenty-eight days
after the meeting of Perliament, anti subsequently to the
recess, and announced his intention of re-appointing the
committee on the Bank Acts, the last committee which
sat on the subject having reported that their investigation
was incomplete. The failures of the Borough Bank
of Liverpool, and county banks, were net caused by an
over-issue of notes. The Scotch banks were banks of
issue, bat in these cases it would be found that the notes
in circulation bore a very small proeornon to the
whole amount of the liabiti ies. Under these circumstances,
he thought that Parliament would be pursuing the best
course if no destined proposition on the subject under
consideration were proposed. It had been suggested that
a clause might be introduced into the Ac', nuthorising the
Government, in an emergency, to relax the limit of the
hank, but if such a clause obtained the sancion of the
House, the Government would be as slow to avail them-
selves of it as they had been to violate the act itself.
Two committees had come to opposite conclusions on the
subject, and the Government, therefore, thought it desira-
ble that the opinion of the House upon the subject should
be expressed' before they ventured to submit any preposi-
tion. There were questions in regard to England and Ire-
land which might be made the subject of amendment. It
might be considered whether, in order to prevent a drain
of geld; &etch and Irish banks might issue notes against
the Bank of England, but he did not think it would be
expedient to enter upon the preparation of a new measure
at the present time. In conclusion, he sail Ministers stood
betore the committee under heavy respousibilities, not as
culprits, but as men who had advised the Bank to depart
from the existing law, and they now sought to in Nee the
committee to grant an Act of lademni y to the Bank and
themselves.

Lord Palmerston said that her llT'jesfy's Govern-
ment had been in communication with the Govern-
ment of Austria u; on the subject of the telegraphic
line to be established from Ragusa, t) Alexindria,
but the conditi ins which the Austrian Government
wished to attach to the arrangement, her Majesty's
Government could not comply wish ; the negotiations were
therefore dropped. One consideration was, that the
British Government should engage to use no other line
but tLis for their communications with India, and another
was that they should undertake to continue the line from
Suez to In lie. Toe first the Government did not deem it
advisable to enter into, and the second he did nut see the
way easily to fulfil, therefore the negotiations were ended ;
but he was not without hope that the Austrian Government
would establish the line, as it would be for their
advantage to do so, and it would also be of
benefit to this country. He might as well state also that
the Turkish Government proposed to establish a line et
electric telegraph from Constantinople to the head of the
Persian Golf; and they hope I that, if established, the
Government would carry it ovzr from Bassora to Kur-
rachee.

Colonel North enquired whether the officers who had
received honours for service in India, would be called upon
to pay the fees attached to these honours.
Mr. Wilson, in reply, stated that, about three years ago,

the rule was laid down by the Treasury that the fees con-
nected with all honours conferred upon officers of the
army or navy should be paid by the public ;
the rule was pursued in all honours conferred in the
Crimean war, and would, no doubt, be followed in the
cases referred to.

On the motion that the House at its rising adjourn til

Monday,

Sir De Lacy Evans inquired what course the Govern-
ment proposed to take in reference to according the thanks
of Parliament to the Indian army ? His reasons for
putting the question was, that he understooi last night
that the nobfe Lord proposed to bring down a message
very shortly for the purpose of granting a pension to Gen.
Havelock. That was a proposition which he ventured to
think every member of the House would cordially ague te;
but he thought that it would give General Havelock mo• e
gratification to have his name coupled with Col. Wilson,
and the other officers of the Indian army, in receiving the
thanks of Parliament.

Lord Palmerston hopd that members would not suppose
that the subject had escaped the consideration of the
Gavernment, or that they dii not anticipate the anxiety of
the Home to testify their admiration of what had b?en
performed by the offi:ers in India. Ho would give notice
of the intention of the Government on the subject when a
suitable time arrived.
Mr. M. Milnes drew attention to the case of the English
engineers scizad on board the aigliari, and expressed an
opinion that the British Government should take steps to
obtain their liberation.
Lord Palmerston explained the circumstances of the

seizure: of these two Englishmen by the Neapolitan
Government, and stated that the British Government, had
thought it right to demand that our consular agent should
have access to the prisoners, in order to ascertain how they
were treated. This was reused for some time, but
ultimately the Neapolitan Government granted permission
for the prisoners relatives to see them, and t..:e
father of one of them had availed himself of the per-
mission. The consul had also been to sea them.
The British Government could not say that these men,
taken in the apparent violation of the law of Naples,
should not be tiled ; and hs did not think thera was any
ground for complaint against the Neapolitan Government
in these transactions.

The report upon the Address was brought up wad

Mr. 'Gladstone having thanked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer for the explauation which he had affirded them.
proceeded to make some remarks upon the policy of the
Government, in regard to the matter before the Committee.
It was nut his -intention to offer any opposition to the Bill
of Indemnity. A question might arise whether the
Government had taken the right moment for the issue of
their letter, or whether the difficulty might have been
effected by other measures. It was their 'duty, however,
to look to the precedent which was spoken of as a recurring
'necessity, and to consider the danger that would resalt if
the monetary crisis which rendered it necessary to suspend
the operation of the act of 1844, arose from a reckless system
of trading in m3ney. The right hon. gentleman prop rsod
now, instead of legislation on the subject, that they should
re-appoint the Bank Act Committee. They had ample
experience of the Working of the act of 1814, and th-y
had sufficient inquiry into the operation of the Bank Ant.
That act had succeeded in its piineip.il object. The
bank had availed itself of the power which it gave to
raise the rate of discount, hat subsequently to that step
being taken, a worse crisis occurred. It was this that he
wished should be inquired into by a select committee,
and it could never be attended to if ;he committee had to
go owr the old ground of currency and issue. Now was
the time, he thought, to decide upon the act of 1844.
The panic had brought the subject into importance,
and he hope lit would be dealt with by the Government
be'ore it sank again into lassitude and apathy. He hoped
the government woald not let slip this golden opportunity
for final legislati in, and trusted that inquiry would be
instituted into the causes of the recent panic, utiel he might
say the present embarrassment.
Mr. Spooner having been appealed to by the right loon.
gentleman, Mr. Gladstone, is the course of his speech,
quoted from the evidence takea before committees of th st
eous-s in support of his view, that the Act of 1814 was
wrong in principle, and dangerous in practice, and that
twilit was repealed, nothing could be tioae to avert the
evils of a monetary panic.
Mr. Glynn attributed the late crisis to the break
down of the credit system in the north of Europe,
and the overbauking in Scotland. He aelin )wledged,
however, that the act;;, of 1844 was ins tfficient
to meet the crisis, and suggested that the
("tent of the circulation should be in the hands of the
directors,,undec Parliamentary sanction.
Mr. Henley cheerfully assented to the Indemnity Bill,
but regretted that the imperfection of legislation rendered
Indemnity Bills necessary. •
Lord John Russell expressed himself in every way
satisfied with what had been done, tolerably satisfied with
the Act of 1844, and entirely satisfied with the proposal
which was to follow after the p-eseut expesitien. B v the
course which had been pursued, the G evernment had
saved the credit of the ci.hintry from the most terriLle
ditanters, and be hoped Cie comminec would not hesitate
to pass the Bill of Indemnity. The question for them
now to consider wan whether an act which had been
relexA twice should not be m el to meet entiergelteles in
future. It has been suggested that the suspension .of the
r,strietions upon the issue of .notes should be regulated
by Act cf Parliament, but he thought it a wh...le,oma
cheek urn the Minister that he had in such an e,ner-
gene), to violate an Act of Parliament, an] coma to Par-
liament for indemnity. Perhaps an that failed in the
third year of its operation ought not to have continued
longer upon the statute bole, but it had gone on satis-
factorily for ten ye :is, and it might operate satisfrctorily
for twenty years more. He would leave the future .t i the
future. II: lauded the Goveronent for their promptitude
in meeting the threatened disasters, a,ld trusted that the
House R wild not hesitate to pass the Bill of Indemnity.
Mr. Disraeli was not su-prieed at the support which
the noble lord gave to a precedent which he was liiint,elf
instrumental in establishing, but it was, neverthel.ss,
unfair in its operation, making aiedras of some, and
allowing others to ecope, whose credit was no b tier, but
who were able to hold out for twenty-four hours longer.
He thought it most desirahle that some steps should be
taken to prevent a repetition of the letters of 1847 avl
1857, and he reebretied that her Maj-sty's ministers appeared
unwilling to snake an attempt to solve the difficulty. Parlia-
ment was now called upon to pass a bill of indemnity for
the bank directors, but no one could impugn their
conduct, and he should take no exception to the mei,—
sure, or make any difference between bank directors
and ministers, in reference to the Government letter.
He could not, however, give his consent to the
course which the Government proposed to take
hi retaining the Act of 1844, re appeieting the committee
on the Batik Acts, so far as it secured the convertability of
the B ink note, he would suppert the Aut of 1814 ; but it
was now their duty to provide against the disastrous
coesequenees of a foreign drain, and the proposition cf her
Maji sty's Miaisters would not effect that object. What
was the use of a Government if it did not scoomplislo that
object ? and what was the use of Parliament if it could not
animate Ministers to that end ? When the bill came into
committee, he should propose to move an amendment,
expressing the opinion of the House, that it was not
expedient that legislation should take place upon the
subject, and that the question should he referred to a
select committee. Perhaps the Chancellor of the Exchequer
would fix a day for the committee.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer said he would like the
second reading and the commit ee on Friday.
The motien was then agreed to, and the bill was brought
in and read a first time.
On the motion of Mr. Bentinck, a select committee on
railway eceidents was ordered,
A. new writ was ordered for Ashton-under-Lyne, in the
room of Mr. Hindley, deceased.
The ROM adlograe4 at a quarter Up twelve,

agreed to.
The house then went into committee on the subject of
the Bank Acts, for the purpose of enabling the Chancellor
of the Exchequer to propose a consideration of the dot of
1844, and to move that the chairmen be directed to
move for leave to bring in a bill to indemnify the
Governor.and Commissioners of. the Bank of England,
for the issue of notes to a gr3ater extent than was autho-
rised by the Act uf Parliiment. The right hon. gentleman
explaiied that the Act of 1814 gave the Bank power to
issue £14,000,000 of notes upon good securities, and auy
further sum which might -accrue from the lessened cir-
culation of the country Banks. An order in Council was
issued two years ago, authorising the Bank to add ou this
account £475,000, and therefore the issue authorised was
in all £14,475,000. The practiaal reault of this was, dui

THE CHARGE OF POISONING AND FORGERY
AGAINST AN EX-MAYOR OF PRESTON.

EXAMINATION OF THE ACCUSED BEFORE
THE MAGISTRATE'S.

(FROM OUR OWN REPORTER.)

PRESTON, FRIDAY NIGHT.
This morning, at eleven o'clock, Alderman Thomas
Monk, who in the year 1852 was Mayor of Preston, and
who is now a borough and county magistrate, and also a
deputy-lieutenant of the county, was charged before the
magistrates with forging the will of a man named Elward
Turner, a reed maker, who died on the 20th of September
last, the accused having been his medical attendant during
his last illness. _

The position which the accused has for several years
held in the town, invested the case with. unusual interest,
and the most intense excitement prevailed in the town
during the whole of the day amongst all classes of
Society.
Shortly before eleven o'clock in the forenoon, the prisoner
was brought to the Town-hall, in a cab, in the charge of
Mr. Gibbons, the head constable of Preston, who had
taken hum into custody at hie, residence on the previous
evening.
The magistrates on the bench were the Mayer, (John
Humber, Esq,,) W. Ainsworth, Esq , Paul_Catterall, Esq ,
W. Humber. Esq , George Sillgreavcs, Esq., Thomas
Walmsley, Esq., Pater Catterall, Esq., and Lawrence
Spencer, Esq. the late Mayor.
Mr. Segar, barrister, instructed by Mr. Robert Ascroft,
solicitor (the Town Cie,k) appeared on behalf of the
prosecution ; and Mr. R. A. poss, M.P. for Preston
(instructed by Mr. W. B 1 icklitrst, solieito,), was present
on behalf of the prisoner, who sat during the inquiry in
the body of the court, between his attorney and counsel.
The court was densely crowded during the whole of the
inquiry.
Mr. Sega; in opening the c isei alluded to the rumours
which had been' current in reference to the pHs finer during
the last few days, and then produced a document
purporting t) be the last will of the late Edward Turner,
and after stating the facts in connection with the case, he
called the following witnesses:
William Hothersall Winder, clerk in the Consistory
Court at Lancaster, was the first witness examined. He
said—l produce this document from the Consistory Court
at Lancaster. I have acquired some skill in the judgment
of han lwriting. The document I produce is alleged to be
the will of Edward Turner, of Preston, reedmaker..

Mr. Seger: Can you form a ju 'gaisnt as to whether
the body and the signature to the will are in the same
handwriting ?
Mr. Cross, on the part of the prisoner, objected to the
question being put. It was allowed in civil, but not in
criminal cases, and it was a question only for the jury to
decile upon in a case of this kind.
[Docament here handed to the bench.]
The Rsv. Thomas Clark was then cabal, and examined
by Mr. Seger. He said : I am a surrcgate, residing in
Preston, an the incumbent of Christ Church I remember
Saturday morning the Stith cf September. On that day I
saw Mr. Monk in this town. He came to my house
between ten and twelve o'clock, and said that a man named
Turner was dead. He said that money was wanted to ply
the workmens' wages that night, and that he had been to
the bank, and they declined giving him any money without
proper authority on his part to receive it He also said
that no will could be found, or words to that effect.
The remark was made btoone or other of us, that
letters of administration would have to be taken out
I asked him whether any relatives had been left, and
who was the next of kin, and to whom letters of sdminis-
tration would have to be granted. Mr. Monk rep'ied
that no relatives were known, or likely to be heard
of, and that therefore letters of administration must be
granted to him as the principal creditor, or as a principal
creei'or. He said he had repeated conversations with the
deceased, and knew exactly what he wished to have done
with the money, and thst the housekeeper wag to have
five shillings per week as long as she lived. He further
said that if let- ors of administration were wanted to him
all should be done according to the wishes of the deceased.
I said that in such cases nothing could be done by a sur-
rogate without consulting the Consistory Court of
Lancaster, and I read to Mr. Monk the printed
instructions applying to surrogates, that ‘• no
creditor can ob emu letters of administration, with-
out first issuing a citation obtaining a derision of the
court." Mr. Monk. after my reading this, wished me to
apply to Lancaster for that purpose. In the course of a
further conversation, I alluded to the delay that would
take place, but still Mr Monk requested me to apply to
the court. I then told him I would do so by that after-
noon's mail, which I did at half-past three o'clock. Mr.
Monk then went away, and I saw nothing more of him
until the following Tuesday morning. On that morning Mr.
ink came again between ten and twelve o'ciock. I had
then received a communication from Lancaster, and on
telling him that I had received such a communication,
without listening to the result, Mr. Monk observed : "It
is of no consequence whatever what the answer is, the
will has been found." Mr. Monk then put the
will into my hand. I can swear that this
is the document I then administered the usual executor's
oath to Mr. Monk, as sole surviving executor, and he
stated the value, which went to Lancaster along with the
will. I can gave you the purport of the oath He swore
that he believed it was the last will and testament of
Edward Turner, and that the contents of the affidavit to
which he had subscribed, were true—that he would well
and truly execute the will, and that the personal estate
end effects were under £lOO The document was left with
me, together with the affidavit, which I transmitted that
night to the Court at Lancaster. I afterwards received
from Lancaster the probate of the will. I should have
taken is to Mr. Monk's house, but he called for it, and
paid the charges.
John Fisher, an accountant at Preston, stated that on
producing the probate of the will, the prisoner received
.ESG 15s 8d , the deceased's balance at the bank.
Robert Fernwosth, a reed maker, who had been for five
years in the employ cf the deceased, stated that the will
was not in his handwriting.
Joseph Wilkinson, whose name appeared in the will as
one of the attesting witnesses, denied that he knew any-
thing about it. He had known the deceased for fourteen
years. On the document being handed to him he denied
that it was in his handwriting.
Mr. Sager, at the close of this witness's examination, said
th t he was not in a position to produce all the evidence
which it was necessary to lay before the court, but at pre-
sent he respectfully submitted that ho had made out a case
. for a remand.
Mr. Cross reserved any cbservations he might have to
make until the further hearing. It was, however, entirely
in the discretion of the bench as to whe her there was any
case made cut for a remelt'.
The court decided to rsuaed the prisoner to Tuesday
neat, and unanimon.ly refined to admit him to bait. He
was accordingly taken down to the House of Correction.

THE EUSPECTED POISONING, AND EXE-IMIA-

TION OF THE BODY.
ADJOURNED INQUEST.

The adjourned itque:4 on the b ely of Eeliverd Turner,
reed maker, was held in the Town Ha'l, Preston, on
Tnursday, b fire Mr. M. Myer?, coroner. The inquiry
caused considerable interest, as affecting the medical
gentleman who attended deceased, and who holds a high
pcsition in the town. Mr. N. Mackhurst appeare Ito
watch the case for Mr. Monk, who is the subject of the
imputations which have ben co freely made by the tongue
of rumour. There were several witnesses to be examined;
bur, after the examination of one, it was found necessary
again to adjourn the inquiry, in consequence of Professor
Taylor not having concise:el his analysis of the stomech.
Alice Chadwick, widow, of Preston, stated: I was
housekeeper to 7.dward Turner. I lived with him at the
tines of his death, and attended on him. Ile was taken
ill on the Monday before the Friday but one afterwards on
which be died. We sent for the doctor about dinner time
on the Monday. I cannot recollect the name of the doctor.
Turner bettem with the bowel complaint. (Remembering
herself.) 'Oh, it was Mr. Monk that att nded him. The
doctor melered him medicine, two table spoonfuls every
twa hours. He atterid:d once a clay the first week.
Tiener would not have the medicine regularly.—By the
Foreman : He was se ill that he could not leave his room.
He was purged about every hour the Erst week
of his illness. Ore of the apprentice boys, named
Henry Heap, fetched the medicine. There
were directions on the bottle as •to hew
the medicine wos to he taken. There were two or
three little pills sent in a box, He was to have one at
night. Ne oher doctor ntteaded him. The doctor
gen rally came between ten and eleven o'clock in the
forenoon during the first week. Ho kept telling me he
was b etter. Durinl• the second week he said he was to be
Lept quiet. No one was to go to him and talk to him.
Mrs. Lowrey and Mrs. Wi kinson, and Mr. llawber's wire,
from eit•erall, cane to see him during the second week.
They did not stop long. I never left the house during his
illress. I was present when these persons saw him. I
remember the doctor coining on the Wednesday before
Turner's death. He began to come twice a day on
the Tuesday in the second week of his illness. I
remember the doctor telling me on the 'Wednesday
to send the boy for some medicine, and I was
to give it to the deceased all at once. I sent the boy
about eleven o'clock, and he brought the medicine. I
gave it to the deceased after dinner. It all came up again
in about ten minutes. The medicine was yellow. I made
him some tea, and he went to sleep about half an hour
after, and said he was better after the sleep. Ile then
