MARKETS—This Day

MARK-LANE.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were small. Red and white qualities both from
Essex and Rent supported Monday's advance in prices, and
the supply on the stands was steadily disposed of.
With foreign wheat the market was very moderately sup-
plied, For all descriptions the trade ruled firm, and the
quotations had in some instances and upward tendency.
Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at full prices.
The supply of barley on sale was small, and both grind-
ing and distilling qualities changed hands at extreme rates.
The malt trade was quiet, yet prices ruled stationary.
Oats—the supply of which on sale was small—moved off
steadily at fully late rates.
Bans and peas changed hands at very full prices.
In flour about an average business was transacted on
former terms.

HOUSE OP COMMONS.—This Day.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
FALMOUTH DOCKS BILL
This bill was read a third time and passed.
CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND brought
under notice the circumstances connected with the proceed-
ings of this bill yesterday afternoon, and moved that on
Thursday the house resolve itself into a committee of the
whole house to considfr the future progress of the bill.
Mr. LONGFIELD opposed the proposal on the ground
that, when the Chairman was ordered to leave the chair
under such circumstances, the order became " dropped."
He cited many authorities on the point.
Mr 13U IT thought it quite in conformhy with usage to
agree to the propositi,en of the hon. and learned gentleman
the Attorney-General for Ireland.
Mr WHITESIDE said when he addressed the house yes-
terday his first intention was to move that the chairman re-
port progress, but one of his hen, friends informed him that
the proper mode would be to move that "the chairman do
leave the chair," which he considered analogous to moving
the "previous question," which, if carried, was considered
to terminate the matter under discussion. At all events, it
was not usual to revive a subject, the debate upon which
had been terminated in the carrying of the " previous
question."
The SPEAKER said a committee had no power to ex.

tinguish a bill ; that authority belonged to the house alone.
It would be quite in contormity with precedent, and en-
tirely in the power of the }wise, to order the committee to
meet again and again to consider the bill.
After some further discussion, the motion of the Attor-
ney-General for Ireland was agreed to.

BILL.

Oa the motion for the house going into committee on
this bill,

Mr E. CRAUFURD moved that the house resolve itself
into committee on the bill that day three months, as he had
serious objections against the measure.

Mr D. GRIFFIT El said the objections of the hon. gen-
tleman could be fitly considered in committee.
The motion was then withdrawn, and the house accord-
ingly went into committee on the bill.
Mr. CRAWFURD suggested that the bill should
simply give the shareholder the power of using the voting
paper confided to hint at the meeting or afterwards, and
moved an amendment to that effect.

Mr GRIFFITHS could Lot coneent to the amendment.

Sir C. O'LOUGH.LIN thought the best course to pursue
was that the chairman do report progress, and he made
that motion accordingly. .

ABRIDGED PROSPECTUS.

-
This Corporation has been formed for the purpose of
uniting the ordinary business of a Finance Company with
that of an Estate Agency--a want not yet supplied by any of
the existing Companies.
The business of the Corporation will consist of two distinct
branches-viz., Financial Transactions and Estate Agency
Business, and competent representatives will be appointed in
the principal towns.
The Financial Department will consist of advancing money
on real and personal estate, whether intended for sale or
otherwise, and on such other securities as the Directors may
approve. The Corporation will act also as agents between
mortgagors and mortgagees, and will negotiate subscriptions
or loans for British and foreign undertakings, the bona fides
of which w 11 be strictly investigated before they are sub-
mitted to the public.
The Estate Agency Department will embrace valuations ;
the purchase end sale of estates, lands, and houses; the
management of estates, and the carrying out of drainage and
other essential improvements ; also the sales of agricultural
produce, farming stock, and every description of properties,
by private contract and public auction ; and it is intended to
hold periodical sales of freehold and leasehold properties.
&wend lucrative transactions have already been secured
by the Corporation; and although the Directors consider the
present nominal capital ample for all immediate purposes,
power has been taken to increase the same should it be
ultimately deemed

By the 'Articles of Association (which lie for inspection at
the Temporary Offices of the Company), each Director is
required to hold 2JO snares; and more than 2,e09 shares
have already been subscribed for by the Directors and their
friends.

Prosrectuses and forms of application for shares may be
obtained from the Bank ers and Brokers, or at the Temporary
Offic s of the Company.

THE GAS SUPPLY TO THE CITY.

Dr LETHEBY further reported that the illuminating
power of the gas supplied to the City during the week had
been above the requirements of the act of Parliament, for
the average power of the City Company's gas had been
15,07 sperm candles; of the chartered, 14,63; and of the
Great Central, 14.54.
After transacting some other business the commissioners
adjourned,

[ADVERTISEMENT.] —Holloway's Ointment—Sounaness
Renewed—Any indolent ulcer or chronic sore should imme-
diately have this excellent unguent applied to it in the
manner pointed out in its accompanying directions. For
thoroughly cleansing a diseased or broken skin, and for
rousing its poisoned vessels or depressed nerves to healthy
action, nothing can surpass Holloway's well-known Oint-
ment. It strikingly shows the power when applied to the
" old man's ulcer," which settles on the leg and often be-
comes most intractable under the ordinary treatment,
though no case has yet withstood this cooling and healing
salve. The troublesome swellings preparatory to most
ulcerations of the legs are likewise reduced by the diligent
applications of Holloway's unguent, by giving strength to
the weakened circulation through the capillaries.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

DARING ROBBERY BY A GANG.—Emma Adams, a
stylishly dressed female, was charged before Mr. Knox
with stealing the watch of Mr. Martin Luther Moss, hosier,
of 131, New Bond-street.

Mr Pater appeared for the prisoner.
Mr Moss said that the prisoner accosted him opposite
Lang's Hotel, New Bond• street, and asked him to treat her
with a glass of wine. Ho refused to do so, and walked
through several streets to get away from the prisoner,
When he got into Clifford-street the prisoner got in front
of him, and at the same moment three men stepped up
behind him, and two of them pinioned his arms while the
third pulled him back. He observed his watch chain fly-
ing, and after throwing out his arms the men and the pri-
soner ran away, his watch having been taken from him.
He pursued the prisoner and stopped him when a constable
came up. The prisoner then exclaimed, " For God's sake
do not send me to prison. I have four children," at the
same time passing the watch to him.

In answer to Mr, Pater, the prosecutor said he was quite
;ober at the time.

Sergeant Stevens, 24 C, proved seeing the prisoner pass
the prosecutor's watch to him. He took him to the station,
but had great difficulty in doing so.
Mr Knox remanded the prisoner.

MARKETS—This Day

MARK-LANE.
Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were small. Red and white qualities both from
Essex and Kent supported Monday's advance in prices, and
the supply on the ztands was steadily disposed of.
With foreign wheat the market was very moderately sup-
plied, For all descriptions the trade ruled firm, and the
quotations had in some instances and upward taldency.
Floating cargoes of grain ruled firm, at full prices.
The supply of barley on sale was small, and both grind-
ing and distilling qualities changed hands at extreme rates.

The malt trade was quiet, yet prices ruled stationary.
Oats—the supply of which on sale was small—moved off
steadily at fully late rates.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT

HOUSE OF COMMONS.---This Day.
The SPEAKER took the chair at 12 o'clock.
FALMOUTH DOCKS BILL.
This bill was read a third time and passed,
CHANCERY (IRELAND) BILL.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND brought
under notice the circumstances connected with the proceed-
ings of this bill yesterday afternoon, and moved that on
Thursday the house resolve itself into a committee of the
whole house to considtr the future progress of the bill.
Mr. LONGFIELD opposed the proposal on the ground
that, when the Chairman was ordered to leave the chair
under such circumstances, the order became " dropped."
He cited many authorities on the point.
Mr BUTT thought it quite in conformity with usage to
agree to the propositiA2 of the hon. and learned gentleman
the Attorney-General for Ireland.

Mr WHITESIDE said when he addreessd the house yes-
terday his first intention was to move that the chlirman re-
port progress, but one of his hon. friends informed him that
the proper mode would be to move that the chairman do
leave the chair," which he considered analogous to moving
the "previous question," which, if carried, was considered
to terminate the matter under discussion. At all events, it
was not usual to revive a subject, the debate upon which
had been terminated in the carrying of the "previous
question."
The SPEAKER said a committee had no power to ex-
tinguish a bill ; that authority belonged to the house alone.
It would be quite in conformity with precedent, and en-
tirely in the power of the house, to order the committee to
meet again and again to consider the bill.
After some further discussion, the motion of the Atter•
ney-General for Ireland was agreed to.

IMPERIAL FARLIAXENT

HOUSE OF LORDS—Last Evening,
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his scat on the woolsack
at five o'clock.

AMERICA,

Lord ST. LEONARDS presented a petition from
Rackerford, praying that the house would adopt measures
to induce her Majesty's Ministers to take steps for the
restoratio of peace in America.

The Earl of DERBY said he had heard that a gentleman

named Levey, a Montreal merchant, had arrived at Bos-
ton by a British passenger ship, and before he left the
vessel, it was boarded, and ho was seized by a
United States' officer and imprisoned. There was no
cause assigned for his arrest, and after a period of ten
days he was liberated, on the 6th of June, without any

cause assigned either for his imprisonment or literation.

He wished to know if any information on the subject had
reached the noble earl the Secretary of State for Foreign
Affairs ; and, if so, whether reparation had been demanded
by him, or voluntarily offered by the United States ?

Earl RUSSELL said he did not find in any of Lord
Lyons' despatches any reference to the case. Perhaps the
next despatch might contain something; if it did not he
would write to Lord Lyons on the subject,

Recruits for the Army.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

you allow me a small space in your coIUWI
to c trrect an error into which " Common Sense" has fallen,
in a letter which appeared in The Sun yesterday, on the
subject of recruits for:the army. 4, Common Sense" argues
that the scourge and the brand alone deter men from enter"
ing the army. Now as flogging and branding are only re-
sorted to when all other punishments fail, or, M other
words, when a man is incorrigible, " Common Sense"
would argue that all those who enlist, or rather who are
at present prevented from enlisting through fear of these
punishments, are incorrigible ; but no well-conducted man
ever runs the slightest risk of being either flogged or
branded. The British soldier is taken tar better care of
now than he was 50 years ago. E very indulgence is given
w the deserving veteran every encouragement to the
aspiring recruit. There must be a scale of punishments
and that scale of punishment is not severe. It is only when
a man has proved himself undeserving of indulgence, and
unworthy of milder treatment, that he is flogged as a
scoundrel or branded as a deserter. It is not for the Go-
vernment but for the soldiers themselves, by good and
steady behaviour, to exterminate the scourge and the
brand from the British army.
