SOUTH AUSTRALIAN RIFLE MATCH.

REUTER'S EXPRESS.

ADELAIDE (South Australia), March 26,
The return Rifle match of the Milting (South
Australian) Rifles against the Robin Hood
(Nottingham) Rifles, came on on the 24th.
The weather up to 600 yards, was exceedingly
unfavourable, and though it improved at the
next ranges, the delays had been so many that the
sun was down when the 900 yards firing was going
on, thus rendering it almost impossible to see the
signals. There ivas a hot north wind at 300, 400,
500, and 600 yards, which changed to south at 700.
The wind was strong, but generally steady. The
following is the aggregate scoring. The details

MARKETS—This Day.

MARK-LANE.
A small supply of English wheat was on sale here to
day. The trade, however, was by no means active either
for red or white qualities; nevertheless, prices ruled film.
With foreign wheat the market continues to be but mo-
derately supplied. In most descriptions sales progressed
slowly, at the rates current on Monday.
Floating cargoes of grain were in but moderate request,
on former terms.

Malting barley was less active than on Monday, yet
prices ruled stationary. Grinding and distilling barley
moved off slowly, at late rates.

llalt changed hands slowly, at late rates.
The supply of oats on sale, was tolerably large, and both
English and foreign parcels sold heavily, at barely stationary
prices.

- Beans and peas were in but moderate request, at previous
Currencies.
For flour there was a moderate demand, at Monday's
quotations.

course provided for in the regular expenses of the
year, was reckoned among the extra expenses of the
war. So that in spite of the opium disappoint-
ment the Calcutta public is able to rejoice in a
surplus instead of a deficit. We are sorry to Lad
part of the surplus attributed to the
saving in the Public Works Department. £5,000,000
was the sum allowed, but owing to several hin-
drances and drawbacks not nearly that amount has
been spent. Possibly the obstacles were not of a
nature to be easily removed ; but we fear that there
is not that spirit and energy put into the prosecu-
tion of these important works that their public
nature would justify. The salt trade, which is said
to be failing, returned but little, and the Customs
receipts are less than the estimates. The land
revenue and the Excise have, however, come to the
rescue and helped to restore the balance. Sir
CHARLES TREVELYAN reduces the du'y on tobacco
from 2
roe torai 10 per
pr
theimport and also—a less popular
measure—raises duty on cotton goods
le
from sto 7 per cent., with adjustment of value to
market rate. This part of the measure has
excited a strong opposition in commercial circles,
and most of the Bombay journals concur in
pboel itie.
I
de-
nouncing it as retrogarAandLeEasndmiamy
seen whether Sir Cinducedt wtiollrbe_e
re-
consider this part of his Budget. For the coming
year the estimated expenditure is £45,340,000, and

the estimated revenue £46,160,000, thus leaving a
surplus of over £BOO,OOO. It remains to be proved
whether so favourable an augury will prove correct,
or whether the monetary crisis of last year, with
which the Government proved so powerless to deal,
will reappear in the autumn. Bat at present we
may content ourselves with rejoicing that Sir
CH As. TREVELYAN has successfully passed through
the ordeal of £217,700 deficit on his estimates.

AMENDMENT BILL.

This bill passed through committee and was reported
with an amendment.
PROMISSORY NOTES AND BILLS OF EX-

CAANGE (IRELAND) BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
CUSTOMS AND INLAND REVENUE BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed.
AGRARIAN OUTRAGES IN IRELAND.

The Marquis of WESTMEATH moved that an humble
address be presented to her Majesty for a copy of any me-
morial received by the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland or the
Irish Government, framed for the release of Michael Degan,
Patrick Degan, and Patrick Egan, three prisoners confined
in the county aol of Weatmeath, convicted at the Summer
Assizes of 1862 of agrarian offences, or any of them, and
of any written communication forwarding the same and
recommending their enlargement to the Irish Government.
Earl GRANVILLE ♦indicated the conduct of the Irish
Goveznment, and contended that the course which had been
pursued in this instance was perfectly regular. The remis-
sion of punishment which had taken place in the case of
these three men was with the assent of the judge by whom
they had been tried. He had no objection to produce the
memorial referred to, but he could not consent to give the
other papers asked for, which were of a confidential
character.

The Earl of DONOUGHMORE censured the Lord
Lieutenant for having remitted the punishment of these
men without having consulted the magistracy of the
county of Westmeath. He wanted to know the grounds on
which the Viceroy had acted. It was said ho had acted
under a political pressure placed upon him by the hon.
member for Westmeath.
Earl GRANVILLE said it would be inconvenient to
produce any correspondence which had passed between the
Lord Lieutenant and the judge who tried these persons.
The Earl of DERBY thonght the motion involved
nothing unreasonable, and hoped that the house would
assent to it. They had a right to be satisfied that the re-
mission of these men's sentence had taken place on public

ground 8.
Lord VAUX opposed, and Earl GREY supported the
xnotion.

Earl GRANVILLE believed there was no foundation
for the rumour that political influence had been brought to
bear in this case. He would produce not only the memorial,
but any letters which had been sent to the Lord Lieutenant ;
but he could not lay on the table any confidential commu-
nications which had been made by the judge, or any others
of a private character.
After some further discussion the motion was agreed to.
The house then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Last Evening.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Aberystwith and Welsh Coast Railway, Anglesey Central
Railway, Bolton Gas, Great Eastern Railway (Highbeech

Torbay and Brixham Railway, Wallasey Embankment,
Wrexham, Mold, and Connah's Quay Railway.

THE TRAFFIC AT PARK-LINE.

Gen. BUCK LEY asked whether some means could not
be adopted to prevent th 6 dangerous traffic that exists at
Park-lane into Piccadilly ?
Mr. COWPER said that two policemen had been placed
in the neighbourhood to prevent as far as they could any
danger arising from the excess of traffic in Park-lane, which
was all that could be done at present.

Gen. BUCKLEY said he had spoken to a policeman on
the spot, and he said he had no orders.

Mr. COWPER said the only real plan wag to widen
Park-lane or to make a new street through Hamilton-
place. He (Mr. Cowper) had nothing to do with the pro-
perty, as it did not belong to the Crown. Application
should be made to tha Board of Works.:
Gen. BUCS LEY then addressed his question to the
Secretary of the Home Department.

Sir G. GREY said he was not the representative of the
Metropolitan Board of Works. (A. laugh, and cries of
"Divide.")

Mr. TITE said he had no right to speak authoritatively,
but, as a member of the Board of Works, he might state
that the subject was under the consideration of the board,
who would do all in their power to remove the present ob.

course provided for in the regular expenses of the
year, was reckoned among the extra expenses of the
war. So that in spite of the opium disappoint-
ment the Calcutta public is able to rejoice in a
surplus instead of a deficit. We are sorry to ind
part of the surplus attributed to the
saving in the Public \% Department. £5,000,000
was the sum allowed, but owing to several hin-
drances and drawbacks not nearly that amount has
been spent. Possibly the obstacles were not of a
nature to be easily removed ; but we fear that there
is not that spirit and energy put into the prosecu-
tion of these important works that their public
nature would justify. The salt trade, which is said
to be failing, returned but little, and the Customs
receipts are less than the estimates. The land
revenue and the Excise have, however, come to the
rescue and helped to restore the balance. Sir
CHARLES TREVELYAN reduces the duty on tobacco
from 20 to 10 per cent., and also—a less popular
measure—raises the import duty on cotton goods
from 5 to 71 per cent., with adjustment of value to
market rate. This part of the measure has
excited a strong opposition in commercial circles,
and most of the Bombay journals concur in de-
nouncing it as retrograde and impolitic. It will be
seen whether Sir CHARLES may be induced to re-
consider this part of his Budget. For the coming
year the estimated expenditure is £45,340,000, and

whether so favourable an augury will prove correct,
or whether the monetary crisis of last year, with
which the Government proved so powerless to deal,
will reappear in the autumn. But at present we
may content ourselves with rejoicing that Sir
CHAS. TREVELYAN has successfully passed through
the ordeal of £217,700 deficit on his estimates.

SPEECH OF M. ROUHER ON DENMARK

AND POLAND.

PARIS, MAY 13.

In yesterday's sitting of the Corps Legislatif,
M. Rouher, replying to M. Favre, spoke at great
length on the Danish question. The Minister said
he saw with grief the invasion of the Duchies.
He could not discuss certain questions, because
the conference had met. He confined himself,
therefore, to refuting the observations of M. Favre
upon the conduct of France until the meeting of
conference, and pointed out that the treaty of 1852
did not oblige France to make war to defend the
resolution of the Conference and the integrity of
the Danish monarchy. M. Rouher also observed
that to uphold the treaty England would have easy
victories at sea, but France would be obliged to
march upon the Rhine, and traverse Germany to
reach Danmark.

" If (said the Minister) France could embark her
treasure in such an enterprise it is not to Denmark
that we should have gone, we should rather have
moved armies for other misfortunes and other

THE KERTCH PRIZE MONEY.

Mr. J. EWART asked the Paymaster-General when the
distribution of the parliamentary grant to the troops con-
cerned in the Kertch expedition would take place ?
Mr. HT.TTT said he had every reason to believe that the
distribution would take place shortly.
THE SLAVE TRADE.

Mr. TORRENS asked the Under Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs, when the correspondence (Class A) with
the British commissioners at Sierra Leone, Havana, the
Cape of Good Hope, New York, and Loanda, with
the reports of British naval officers relative to the slave
trade, and the correspondence (class B),
with British
ministers in foreign countries, and foreign ministers in
England on the same subject, would be laid ntable.
Mr. the
Mr. LAYARD said he hoped he would be able to have
the documents in question ready on the day after the meet..
in of Parliament.

NIGHT SCHOLARS.
Air. W. E. FORSTER asked the Vice-President of the
Committee of Council on Education, whether any instruc-
tions had been issued by the committee demanding sixty
attendances from night scholars, before examination for
capitation grant, instead of 24 attendances, the number
fixed in Art. 40 of the Revised Code.
Mr. BRUCE said there had been no such instructions.
He explained the nature of the alterations that had been
made.

THE IRON PLATE COMMITTEE.
Mr. H. TRACY asked the Secretary to the Admiralty
whether it was true that the Iron Plate Committee were
about to terminate their labours; and, if so, whether the
Admiralty would have any objection to lay the report of
their proceedings on the table of the house.
Lord C. PAGET said the committee, as soon as they had
terminated their inquiry, would cease toezist. There would
be no objection to lay their reports on the table, but as
there woul.l be four bulky volumes, with sketches, he would
lay half a dozen copies in the library for inspection,' and. if
it was thought nectesary to print them he should offer no
objection.

ENDOWED SCHOOLS.
Mr. ADDEaLEY asked the Vice-President of the Corn-
naitlee of Council on Education how soon the return of the
number of endowed schools receiving gran's would be pre-
sented ; and whether the Government would be prepared,
on Monday after Whitsuntide, to fix the day for discussing
Ms motion for the withdrawal of the minutes of May 19
and March 11,

Mr. BRUCE was sorry he could give no definite answer
on the question.
PU?LIC MEETINGS IN PARK S.

Mr. WHALLEY aeked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, with reference to the instructions to the
police as to public mLtinge in the parks, whether he con•

sidered such in:structions justified the suppression of public
meetings other than such as may be held on a Sunday.
Sir G. GREY said the instructions of the police did
justify them in acting as they did. It was obv. ous that
Large political meetings in the parks must interfere with
the objects for which the parks were set asi le, and with the
comfort and recreation of the people.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE.
About an average supply of beasts, in very middling
condition, was on offer in to-day's market. Prime breeds
commanded a steady sale, at full prices ; otherwise, the
beet trade was heavy, on former terms. A few very supe-
rior Scots realised 5s per 81b. We were fairly supplied with
sheep, for which the inquiry ruled inactive, at late curren-
cies. The best Downs produced 5s 4d per 81b. There was
a good demand for lambs, at full prices, viz., from 6s to
7s per 81b. Calves were in request, and rather dearer,
the top figure being 4s 10d. Figs and mulch cows sold
heavily, at late rates.

THAMES.

A SAD CASE,—Mr Barratt, a vestryman of the Hamlet
of Rateliff, accompanied by the clerk to the vestry, intro-
duced to the notice of the magistrate, Mr Paget, a poor
deaf and dumb woman named Emma Fennel, and said their
excuse for speaking on behalf of the woman was that she
could not speak for herself. On Saturday last her husband,
a journeyman tailor, who was also deaf and dumb, was run
down by a fire engine on its way to a fire in Devonport-
street, Ratcliff, and killed. The poor widow was left with
two young children, one 61 years and the other seven
months old, to maintain. The two gentlemen assured the
magistrate that the bereaved widow was a very respectable
and deserving woman, and in great distress. She was un-
able to bury the remains of her late husband.
Mr Paget—Hu an inquest been held ?
Mr Barratt said the inquest was held yesterday morning,
and a verdict of accidental death returned. Ho was pro-
ceeding to relate some other facts concerning the poor
woman and her children, when
Mr Faget said there was no occasion to say more. He
was quite satisfied this was a very deserving case, and there
was no doubt the unfortunate deceased did not hear the
engine approaching him, and was knocked down and lost
his life. He ordered that a sovereign should be given flora
the poor-box fund, and hoped the would meet with sympa-
thy trom the benevolent.

B hakspe re Memorial,

----
The following circular has been issued to the
subscribers :
Sir,—At a meeting of the Executive Committee, held at
the Society of Arts, the Right lion. W. F. Ccwper in the
chair, a suggestion was received from the Duke of Man-
cheater (Chairman of Executive), to the effect that a state-
ment of facts should be laid before the subscribers, and their
concurrence invited in a plan by which it is hoped that
their wishes may be ultimately carried into effect. The
proposal was unanimously adopted.
The subscription list now amounts to £2,250; the ex-
penditure to about £970 ; balance, about £1,280.
This balance, it is thought, may be somewhat increased ;
not so largely as to justify the Executive in submit-
ting to the subscribers a costly scheme for a memorial
in one of the public parks ; but so far as to secure
for London a monument of Shakspere, at least
equal in importance to the statues which foreign countries
have erected to their national poets. The new Thames
Embankment will offer unusual advantages for such works,
and a noble and appropriate site may be secured on this
road near the Temple Gardens.
After much consideration of the matters intrusted to
their charge, the Executive aro unanimously of opinion
that the subscribers would do well to allow the above
balance to be invested, with a view to its iecrease, until the
Thames Embankment shall have been built, and
,further
steps can be beneficially taken,
May we ask the favour of your stating whether you ob-
ject to this recommendation ? It you concur, you need not
take the trouble to write; unless you should think proper
to favour the Executive with suggestions for carrying out
the common wishes of the subscribers. If you object to the
recommendation, we should be glad to receive your com.
manila by the first day of August.
We have the honour to remain; your cbedient servants,

To tho Hon. Secretaries of the Shalopeare Memorial.

Gentlemen,—ln reply to your circular of the 20th, I must
protest against any application of the money raised for a
grand memorial towards a petty monument, to figure on the

CONTAGIOUS DISEASES BILL.

The Lords' amendments to this bill were considered and
agreed to.
THAMES CONSERVANCY BILL.
On the motion that the Lords' amendments to this bill
be agreed to,
Mr. LOCKE complained that the Lords had struck out
a clause passed by the House of Commons prohibiting
Kingston from casting its sewage into the Thames. He
moved, as an amendment that the Lords' amendment be
disagreed with.
Mr HUTT said that during the recess the Government
would consider the bill.

The amendment was withdrawn, and the Lords' amend-
ments were agreed to.

COCKERMOUTH AND WORKINGTON.

that the receipts from various sources during the six months
were £7,982, and the working expenses and rates, interest,
taxes, &a., £5,377, leaving a balance of £2,605, making,
with a small balance from the preceding half year, a sum of
£2,972 available for dividend. This will allow a dividend of
5 per cent.

STANDING ORDERS REVISION.

The house proceeded to further consider the standing
orders, Nos. 7,8, and 9, and also to report of the select
committee.

After the matter had made some progress,
Mr. ROEBUCK moved that the debate be adjourned
until next session.

Sir J. SHELLEY seconded the motion.
After some remarks from Mr LOWE and Mr D.
GRIFFITH,

Lord PALMERSTON suggested that the matter should
bo postponed. Very little private business was taken in
the first week of a session, and this then might be con-
sidered.

The House then divided on the question of the adjourn-
ment of the debate—

For the adjournment
Against it
Majority .. —37

The discussion was then continued.
