THE DAY'S NEWS.

In the House of Commons yesterday an ani-
mated discussion took place on the motion for
taking into consideration the Lords' amendment
to the Great Northern Railway Capital Bill. The
abject of the amendment was to make the pre-
ference shares bear their quota of the loss occasioned
by the frauds of Redpath. Mr. Aspinall Turner,
Mr. Lowe, Mr. Spooner, Mr. Ewart, and others were
very energetic in their opposition to the bill. Mr.
Newdegate and several others advocated the ne-
cessity and expediency of the passing of the
amendment, and it was ultimately negatived with-
out a division. The Public Charities Bill, intro-
duced by Mr. Hardcastle, the main feature of
which was the establishing of a Registrar-General,
with a central office in London, was thrown out.
The Married Woman's Bill was referred to a select
committee. The Irish Tenant Right Bill was
withdrawn, Government being pledged to give it
their careful consideration during the recess. A
clause was inserted in the Burial Acts amendment
bill, to the effect, that in any burial ground in
which the necessary provisions bad been complied
with, and certified to by one of Her Majesty's
Secretary's of State, that it shall be lawful for the
incumbent, his curate, or any perspn appointed by
him, shall be authorised to bury in such ground
prior to consecration.
The rioting in Belfast has ceased. On Monday
night, 1. the pound," which has for a number of
years been a notoriously disorderly locality, was ,
quiet, its cowardly inhabitants, no doubt, fearing
that it would be impossible for them any longer, j
with safety, to exhibit, in lawless deeds, the spleen
always more or less manifested by them on the
return of the July anniversaries. During the
eight preceding nights they have, says a Belfast
cotemporary, by their disorderly proceedings,
kept the town in a ferment, every evening the
military having to be brought from the bar-
racks in order to restrain their propensity to
destroy both life and property. The shat-
tered glass and the demolished shutters testify
as to the former, and that valuable institution, the
General Hospital, contains evidence as to the
latter. But we dare say more thin their indigna-
tion has become exhausted, for it is likely that
these vagabonds could not afford to spend more
than a week in idleness. It would be too much
to expect them to exert their energies to such a
pitch during the night, and think that they would
be able to answer the mill-bell at six o'clock in
the morning. A large number of rioters have been
arrested, and no less than twenty-three of them
have been committed for trial to the assizes, which
are now sitting.

The official declaration of the poll for the elec-
tion of a member for the City of Oxford shows a
majority of 67 for Mr. Cardwell. After the de-
claration of Mr. Thackeray, and after alluding to
the promises made by him before the election, he
said they had fought the battle gallantly, but he
could hardly expe,ct to succeed against such an
honoured and respected name as Mr. Cardwell's.
He said that when Lord Monek left Oxford he was
kind enough to say a good word for him (Mr.
Thaekeray), and he would do the same towards
Mr. Cardwell, for whom he entertained the highest
respect. He should leave Oxford with some very
pleasant recollections of the friendships he had
formed, and he should then retire from public
liusiness, for which it was evident he was not fitted,
and leave it for Mr. Cardwell, who well understood
it, and was in every way qualified for it. He attri-
buted his defeat in a great measure to the prejudices
against him on filo Sunday question. The same
thing had happened against him at Edinburgh,
where he was asked to offer himself ; but finding
they differed so much from him on that question,
he refused to stand rather than compromise his
character and his opinions.
Yesterday the case of the Royal British Bank
came once more before Vice-Chancellor Sir R. T.
Kindersley, at his court in Lincoln's-inn-fields,
the Attorney-General, Sir F. Kelly, and several
other learned counsel being engaged. It was an
application on the part of the official manager to
put a gentleman named Brockwell on the list of
contributories in the winding up of this defunct
concern. It appeared that he held three shares
only, upon which, in the early career of the bank,
he paid a deposit of £5O, and he then, in common
with others, received a half-yearly dividend. Mr.
Breokwell allege,l that he had never legally be-
come a shareholder, the purchase having been
obtained by fraud, and that he was entitled to
prove against the company in bankruptcy. A
number of cases were cited to show that Mr.
Brockwell was in the eye of the law really a share-
holder, and an equally number of cases were cited
on the other side to prove that having been led
into the bank by the false representations of the
managers and directors, he had no legal obligations.
The case rested almot entirely upon the construc-
tion of legal points of the purest technical
character, and therefore uninteresting to the
general r,...ader. The Vice-Chancellor, after hearing

the learned gentlemen on both sides, said he would
look into the authorities cited, and would defer
his judgment.

from the minutes of proceedings of the House
of Lords, issued yesterday morning, it appears
that there are at this moment sixteen bills waiting
for second reading in their lordship's house; two
waiting for adjourned debates upon motions for
second readings to be resumed ; two waiting for
commitment ; four referred to select committees ;
twenty-four waiting for third reading; and one,
with Commons' amendments, waiting to be con-
sidered. Nineteen bills have been sent to the
Commons; thirteen have been returned to the
Commons amended ; and fifteen are waiting for
select committees to tie named.
Wa devote considerable space to assize intelli-
gence to-day, the efileB reported being of an
interesting description. At Tullamore, County
Mayo, Ireland, th,-; Lord-Chief Justice has senten-
ced, to six months imprisonment, a young man
named Grogan, an assistant to a apothecary, for
having caused the death of a clergyman, through
serving out some arsenic instead of arrow-root.

a perusal.
The usual weekly meeting of the West Derby
Board of Guardians was held yesterday. The
proceedings were of no importance.
At the Police-court yesterday, Gordon Cumming
the Lion hunter, appeared to answer threei sum-
monses taken out against him for assaults. It
appeared that one night a week or two ago, the said
Lion-hunter and a friend of his were enjoying
themselves in the Grand Junction Hotel, Lime-
street. Two men and a woman came in, and one
of the former behaved rather foolish, the up-
shot of which was, that the great African traveller
gave him a complete " keelhauling," tha other man
and the woman interfered, and they also came in
for some severe knocks and bruises. Ultimately,
the summonses were dismissed, the magistrates
being of opinion that the complainants brought
on the affair by their own conduct.

Several other trials will well repay

There is rather important news from the Continent
of this morning. The Paris Moniteur of yesterday
officially announces the discovery of the plot,
known for some weeks past, to assassinate Louis
Napoleon. This conspiracy, we Pre now informed,
was hatched in London, by Italians, a number of
whom are in the hands of the French police, and
will be brought to trial forthwith Ledru Rollin
is named as among them. The rest of cur French
intelligence is not important. Some strong lan-
guage is applied by the journals, Ministerial and
Independent, to the course Lord Palmerston takes
in opposition to the scheme of the Suez Canal,
which is a pet project of the French public.
The Queen and Government of Spain have at
length resolved to put a stop to the bloody assize
in the south. They seem to have anticipated
popular demonstrations against these butcheries.
Tranquillity prevails throughout Italy. The
Sardinian Government is still tracing the con
spirators in the late plot, while the King of Naples
confers recompenses on the inhabitants of the
island of Ponza for their fi lelity.
Late letters from Constantinople speak of nego-
_ _

tiations concerning the conduct of the Moldavian
Kaimakan, and the period when the elections
should take place. It is asserted in a Brussels
paper that the negotiations on the latter point have
suddenly come to an end, Turkey refusing, under
shelter of Austria and England, to adjourn the
elections, as demanded by the four other powers.
They are now to take place on the 12th proximo.
From our telegraphic news it would appear that
steps are being taken to settle the Danish-Holstein
The Simla arrived at Suez on the 12th inst. with
Australian dates to the 30th of May. The Oneida
left Sydney for Southampton on the sth of May.
The Great Britain left Melbourne for Liverpool on
the 20th May, with 101,617 ounces of gold ; and
the ships Lightning, Sardinian, and Summer
Cloud had also left for Liverpool, with 112,482
ounces of gold. We shall have details of the news
about Tuesday or Wednesday next.

THE rupture with China and the extensive
mutiny in India has not failed to create some
small alarm relative to the defences of the country.
On Monday night Mr. BENTINCK called the
attention of the House of Commons to the subject.
In the course of the debate which ensued, Lord
PAL:SIERSTON was very decided in his opinion,
that as far as regarded the defence of the country
and the state of Europe generally, there was no
reason to call upon Parliament for a greater
amount of force, naval and military, than had
been voted. At the same time, should any
emergency arise for an increase in either branch
of service, he would not be slow to ask the House
for any augmentation that would be deemed
requisite.

Although not long since the great Projects of
defence which Mr. BENTINCK and his party
approved were Channel fleets, " harb ours of
refuge," and defences in iron, wood, and stone,
their patriotism has now brought them to the
conviction that all the foregoing may be very
desirable, but that the main.thing is men. Such
an idea at once roused the Hon. Member for
Lambeth, who cannot see any reason for requiring
a larger fore, or expending more money than
the Government deem necessary. The recruiting
service is to become quite active again, so that
the number of men voted by Parliament may be
raised ; but according to the opinions of many of
the speakers on Monday night, there will be
some difficulty in recruiting during the harvest
months now approaching, labour being in great
demand, high wages will prevail ; so that
comparatively few will betake themselves to
warlike pursuits, when they can obtain well-
remunerated employment and unrestricted
.
liberty at home. Now, although such a state of
things may actually occur, it does not follow
that we are deficient in population, nor wanting
in materiel for a still greater demand for men for
the army. If we take into account the vast
numbers of young men, all smart, and in every
way fitted to serve their Queen and country, we
do not require the conscript system of Russia,
France, or Austria. The British army is the
largest body of volunteers in the world, and this,
too, notwithstanding the fact that our past treat-
ment of the British soldier, has checked and
repelled the desire to become one of the brigh t
sons of MARS.

If, then, the safety of the nation be in that
dangerous state which some of Monday night's
alarmists asserted, it is a matter of pressing and
paramount importance to remedy it, and to make
the soldier's life attractive in the way of emolu-
ment and the sure and certain advancement of
the meritorious. There are a variety of ways
whereby this could be done, and therefore secure
for the service a better class of men than usually
resort to the ranks. We could increase the pay,
and make a small augmentation to the bounty ;
and in every instance where merit and good
conduct marked the private's career, he should
be eligible, step by step, for the command of a
regiment. We have at length extended the
advantages of education to the army, and
facilities are now offered to the mo,t ignorant
recruit to become, if he pleases, an accomplished
scholar. By attending more to the soldier's
comfort only can we expect the army to be made
attractive. He must not be asked to risk his
life, not only in the tented field but in inhos-
pitable climes, for a remuneration not much
above the estimated value of a convicted felon's
labour. The more intelligent and respectable
our recruits are, the more useful, brave, and
orderly will they be as soldiers. Consequently,
