THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENIIRG, JULY 4, tBB2.

convenience in a manner which would reflect credit
on them. The designs sent into the committee were
all by men of such undoubted eminence that it had
been truly said the court could scarcely err by select-
ing any one of them. With regard to the question
of cost he was enabled to state, on the authority of
the Chamberlain, that the council need have no
hesitation in adopting any design for a bridge, the,
estimated cost of which was not more than L 300,000,
and that they might even go further to the extent
of an additional sum of £50,000 or £70,000.
Mr. Hartridge caused some laughter by asking if
the council, supposing they adopted any one of the
five designs, would be bound to build a bridge ?
Mr. Valiance replied he had thought the court
had decided that question 18 months ago, and that
he would be a bold man who would say the corpo-
' ration should continue to patch up the present
ricketty structure.
The court having agreed to the report,
Mr. Deputy Harrison moved that they proceed
by show of hands to reduce the five designs to two,
and then elect one of the two for adoption.
Upon that a long discussion ensued on the com-
parative merits of the five designs, having regard to
the questions of headway and navigable waterway,
cost, materials of construction, the gradients of the
proposed bridge and its approaches, breadth of road,
the span and character of arches, foundations, and
time and mode of construction. The design of Mr.
Brunlees' was advocated for adoption chiefly by Mr.
Alderman Rose and Mr. Hadley ; that of Mr.
Cubitt by Mr. Kearns, Mr. Deputy Elliott, and Mr.
Alderman James Lawrence ; and that of Mr. Page
by Mr. Rowe principally.
Mr. Alderman Philips said the five designs were
all so admirable that the Court might safely put
the names of the engineers into a hat and draw one
at hap-hazard, and adopt his plan.
Mr. Deputy Fry, Mr. Lawley, Mr. Bengough,
Mr. H. Lowman Taylor, Mr. Barnes, Mr. R. N.
Philipps, and Mr. Waterlow also took part in the
discussion.

Each of the designs was then submitted alpha-
betically to a show of hands until the number was
reduced to two. The result was first to eliminate
that of Mr. Mylne, then that of Mr. Fowler, and
thirdly, that of Mr_ Page, leaving those of Mr.
Bruniees and Mr. Cubitt from which to choose.
Eventually the Court, on a show of hands,
adopted that of Mr. Cubitt by a large majority.
A division was called for but foregone, the ma-
jority being so decisive.
Then, on the motion of Mr. John Young, jun.,
it was referred back to the bridge-house commit-
tee to take all the necessary steps with the least
possible delay for erecting the proposed bridge after
Mr. Cubitt's design.

STRAND THEATRE.

A new comediette, entitled "The Silent System,"
was produced with success last night at this
theatre. It gives Mr. Clarke an opportunity of
acting, for a quarter of an hour, a modern Othello;
and he makes so much of the oppertunity that the
audience are convulsed with laughter.

In order to produce this situation it is arranged
that Mrs. Wideawake (Miss Tungate), a first
appearance, shall amuse a lady-killer, Mr. Vane
(Mr. Beiford), with a dubious promise of mar-
riage, be supposing her to be a single lady. She
does this in a scene where Mr. Wideawake (Mr.
Clarke) is under the table, and endures all the
agonies of jealousy. When he has been worked
up to a sufficient frenzy, an explanation ensues,
and happiness is restored to the married couple.
Another couple also are united (Miss F. Hughes
and Mr. Collier) for whose sake this justifiable
ruse has been perpetrated by the wife. The swell
of the Dundreary epecies (Mr. Belford) is left to
his ignominious bachelor condition.
Miss Tungate, the new actress, is an agreeable
and intelligent young lady, who seems thoroughly
versed in stage tactics.

MARKETS---THIS DAY.

MARK LANE.

There was a very small supply of English wheat on sale
in to-day's market. Buyers were very cautious in making
sales, but factors were averse to taking less money, conse-
quently, a considerable portion of the supply was left un-
sold at the close of business.

We were well supplied with foreign wheat. The best
qualities were in moderate request, at late rates, otherwise
the trade ruled inactive on former terms.

Barley—owing to the limited supply on offer—was very
firm, and prices had an upward tendency.
Malt changed hands to a fair average extent, at full quo-

tations.

For oats—the show of which, as regards foreign, was
moderately good—moved off steadily; at Monday's currency.
Beans and peas ruled firm, at fully previous rates. The
supply on offer was small.
Most kinds of flour were in moderate, but far from aotive,
request, on f.rmer terms.

THE ARMY.

A notification was yesterday received at Chatham
garrison announcing that the Commissioners of
Chelsea Hospital, in consequence of an individual
who was in the uniform of the Royal Marines hav-
ing successfully personated a man of that corps who
was entitled to Canton prize money, have decided
that no more payments shall be made to Marines
attending in person at Chelsea, but that payments
shall only be made on forms of orders previously ob-
tained from the secretary by the commanding offi-
cers of the divisions to which the men respectively
belong. These orders are to be executed by the
parties entitled to prize money, and made pay-
able through the agent of the Royal Marines.
By special permission of the Secretary of State
for War, the Ist Kent Artillery Volunteer Corps
have commenced a course of practice with shot and
shell from the guns on the batteries defending the
entrance to Chatham harbour. The first day's prac-
tice was exceedingly successful. The range was set
at 1,500 yards seawards, and the guns used were 68
and 32-pounders. Notwithstanding a strong wind
from the westward, which caused considerable de-
flection in the flight of the projectiles, the practice
was remarkably good, the accurate bursting of the
common shell proving the careful manner in which
the fuses had been adjusted. The volunteers are to
be practised at stated intervals during the summer

TOXIC SOL-FA DEMONSTRATION.

Last night a large body of the pupils of the
various Tonic Sol-fa teachers in the metroplist
assisted by the members of classes in different parts
of the country, performed Handel's oratorio of
" Israel in Egypt" at Exeter-hall. The orchestra
was well filled by chorus singers, assisted by a few
instrumentalists. Miss Stirling, of St. Andrew
Undershaft, presided at the organ, and Mr. Long-
bottom, an amateur from Bradford, conducted. The
object of the gathering was to give a practical dis-
proof to the assertion that the Tonic Sol-fa
system is incapable of conducting the pupils
satisfactorily through the intricacies and difficul-
ties of musical compositions of the highest class.
As a demonstration of the power of the Tonic Sol-fa
system, it was regarded by the friends of that
movement as highly satisfactory, some of the par-
ties having had not more than two years' training
iu the classes, and large numbers of them, but for
the facilities afFuLdcd by this system, would pro-
bably have been unable to attend anything of the
kind with the slightest probability of success.
At the close of the performance, the Rev. J.
Curwen presented the banners won in the recent
contest by the Staffordshire Potteries Class, which
gained the first prize, the West Riding Class,
which gained the second prize, the City Choral
Union, which gained the third prize, and the St.
Thomas's Class, which gained the fourth prize.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMEN T

HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tars Day.

The SPEAKER took the chair shortly after 12 o'clock.
THE MERSEY, IRWELL, &c., PROTECTION
BILL.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill, which
me from the House of Lords,

Mr. WESTHEAD moved that the bill bo read a second
time this day three months. This bill was of a most ex-
ceptional character, and such was the nature of it that after
it had passed a select committee of the -Upper House their
lordships referred it back to the whole house, in order that
it might be discussed again clause by clause. The Lord
Chancellor described the bill as an opprobrium on
the legislation of the country, and he (Mr. Westhead)
considered that although the measure purported to originate
with the Mersey and Irwell River Navigation Society, it
in reality emanated from Lord Ellesmere, who was a large
proprietor in the neighbourhood, and whose interests would
be materially benefitted by the measure if it were passed.
He denied that the bill would effect the object which it pre-
tended to promote, and, regarded in a sanitary point of
view, it would impurify the river which it was said it
would purify, and he made that statement on the op!nion
of competent chemical authorities.
Mr. MASSEY said that the bill no doubt was one of
a very extraordinary character, and it was difficult to dis-
cover whether it was in reality a public measure in the
guise of a private, or whether the matter to which it re-
ferred was a subject for private legislation. If they as-
sented to the former their course would be to discharge the
order for the second reading of the bill. He' considered
that, technieally, the bill came to the house as a private
bill ; and he thought the proper course would be to refer
it to a select committee up stairs, who would be competent
to deal with the whole subject.
Mr. 3'. EWA RT considered legislation on this subject
necessary, and supported the second reading of the bill.
Mr. LAIRD opposed the bill.

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the bill should
be referred to a select committee, and, on legal grounds,
objeoted to the measure.

Viscount NEWPORT said that if the motion for the
second reading went to a division he should feel bound to
vote against it.

Mr. JACKSON considered that private interests ought
not to be permitted to interfere in a matter of such import-
ance as the present, for the commerce of the country must
necessarily be affected by the state of the river Mersey.
He would support the second reading of the bill; but if it
were referred to a select committee he would not object to
some alterations being introduced.

After some further discussion the house divided, and the
numbers were—

For the second reading 97
Against
Majority
The bill was accordingly read a second time

which was to authorise suits for decrees of legitimacy and
suits fur a decree_for the validity of marriage to be tried by
a jury.
London, England, 1862-07-04

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

Sir,—lf the unnecessary inconvenience to which
jurymen are but too often subjected has the
cause inquired into and removed, the
public have good reason to thank you for
allowing the grievance to he set forth in your
columns ; and if you will kindly permit me to
offer a suggestion, which did not occur to me
at the time of writing my last letter, I shall
feel greatly obliged, It is this—That the common
jury empanelled for the first cause on the
day's list, should be the jury for all causes
on that day; this would enable the rest to leave
with the day before them to attend to their own
affairs, and thus obviate that great loss of time
which to many is a serious consideration.

I have the honour to be, Sir,
Your most obedient servant,
GEORGE ELLIS,

MESSRS. BRIGHT AND COBDEN ON
FINANCIAL REFORM.

At the last meeting of the Council of the
Liverpool Financial Reform Association, letters from
Mr. Bright, M.P., and Mr. Cobden, M.P, were
read. Of Mr. Bright's epistle the following is a
passage :—" I am afraid the question of direct
taxation is not making much progress. With an
expenditure so enormous as that of our Govern-
ment, I see no chance of anything being done ;
and reduced expenditure can only come from some
great calamity and suffering to the people, or from
a revolution of opinion on all questions of foreign
policy, such as, at present, I see little chance of.
Perhaps what is gradually coming upon our un-
fortunate country may bring some men to their
senses."

Mr. Cobden wrote as follows :—" There can be
no doubt that to abolish customs duties would be,
both in a moral and politico economical sense, one
of the greatest reforms the world could witness. I
suppose that, because the boon would ue so univer-
sal and so great, mankind will be slow to adopt it;
for the greatest truths seem to struggle the longest
for recognition, even when they are the most ob-
vious to those who will examine them."

The CHAIRMAN (Mr. J. R. Jeffery) suggested
that Mr. Bright should be informed that he was
mistaken in the supposition that the cause was
making little progress, the contrary being manifest
from the great addition to the number of members
since the lecturing operations commenced, the lively
interest exhibited, the committees formed in the
various towns visited, and the prospects of still
greater success from perseverance in similar modes
of agitation.

ROME.

A letter from Rome, in the Gazette de France,
contains the following :—" Between ten and eleven
in the morning the Pope and King of Naples were,
ou the day of the latter's visit, enjoying the sea
breeze at Porto•d'Anzio, when the smoke of a
steamer was observed on the horizon, Gradually
the vessel approached, appearing to come from the
direction of Genoa. No flag was displayed, and she
was at first thought to be a trader, but her deck
was soon discovered to be crowded with soldiers.
The vessel approached within gunshot. The PontiL.
cal Zouaves were at their posts, and the artillerymen
were asking themselves if their services were not
about to be required. Opposite the camp the vessel
audaciously slackened her pace, and hoisted the Pied-
montese flag. The display of those colours was a defi-
ance—an insult. The Neapolitan steamers are not
even allowed to show them in the hdrbour of Civita
Vecchia. The Pontifical army trembled with anger
and asked to be allowed to sink the offending vessel.
Mgr. de Merode calmed them. Three minutes
would have sufficed to cause flag, ship, and Pied-
montese soldiers to disappear. But the Pope, with
that mildness which the insults of his enemies have
never been able to impair, formally forbade any
reply to the provocation. When lam present,' he
said, ' arms must not be used, I can only pray for
them.' The Pontifical soldiers were obliged to
repress their indignation, but the white and yellow
flag was raised, and the Roman camp resounded
with cries of ' Long live Pius IX ! Long live the
Pontiff King !' In the face of that demonstration
the Piedmontese vessel put about, and steamed
away in the direction of Naples."

ITALY.

A letter from Naples, of the 4th May, in the
_Debate, says :—" The stay of the King at Naples
continues to produce the best results, and it is even
certain that all the reasonable members of the Bour-
bon party are successively deciding to accept the
decree of Providence. Already the news from the
provinces represent brigandage as almost expiring.
There only remains some few isolated bands, flying
and concealing themselves in the mountains. The
Government understands that its task is not yet con-
cluded; if the acclamations, the popular joy, the
illuminations, the undeniable proofs of the state of
public feeling have a value which cannot be contested,
more than that is required to definitely consolidate
the public edifice. One of the most urgent neces-
sities is the creation of vast estahli.hmGmta for
public works. The Neapolitan people do not dis-
like work so much as is generally supposed ; but
they have been systematically accustomed to demand
a subsistence from charity rather than from hon-
ourable labour, that being one of the principles of
the former regime. Until now that very little has
been done must be acknowledged; the King even
made the remark the day before yesterday to the
persons who surrounded him. The Syndic, thinking
that the royal words were intended as a reproach to
him, offered his resignation, which he however after-
wards withdrew on the King saying he was referring
to his Government. M. Depretis, Minister of Public
works, is expected here in four or five days. Dur-
ing his stay the business of the concession of the
railways will be terminated, and the plan of the
new port will be decided on, and the works imme-
diately
Commenced. The city of Naples will be
invited to follow the example of the Government.
Indeed, it has plenty to do in all the different ser-
vices, but it will be forced to act under the double
pressure of public opinion and the Government.
The idea of the Ministry is to ameliorate the mate-
rial condition of the country by the assistance of the
Government, the provinces, the communes, and
great companies."

NARROW ESCAPE OF THE ADELPHI THEATRE
FROM FlRE.—Yesterday evening, shortly after 9 o'clock,
and during the performance of " Dot," the supernumeraries
engaged discovered the " flies" to be on fire. Without the
slighest alarm to the audience a man named Bates tore
down the wing canvass, and eventually succeeded in extin-
guishing the flames. _

MARK-LANE.

Very small supplies of English wheat were received
fresh up to this morning's market, but there were several
samples on offer left over from previous market days. For
all qualities the trade ruled heavy, at fully Monday's de-
cline in the quotations.

The show of foreign wheat was seasonably extensive.
Sales progressed slowly in all descriptions, yet no further
quotable change took place in the currencies.
Floating cargoes of grain were a dull inquiry, and prices
had a downward tendency.

The demand for all kinds of barley was in a sluggish
state, and in some instances the quotations ruled in favour
of buyers.

Good and fine malt soli steadily at full prices, but inferior
parcels were somewhat neglected.
Good sweet oats were firm as to value. Inferior descrip-
tions, however, were dull, and the currencies had a down-
ward tendency.

Beans and peas were in short supply and steady request,
at full quotations.

The flour trade was dull, at about Monday's currency.

THE INCOME TAX.

Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gave notice that when the
Customs and Revenue Bill came on he would move the
introduction of a clause providing for the paying of expenses
of persons who had been summoned to give information
relative to their incomes.
THE MERCHANT SHIPPING ACT.
Lord HOTHAM asked the right hon. gentleman (Mr,
M. Gibson) when he intended to proceed with this bill.
Mr. M. GIBSON said that it was arranged that the com-
mittee of supply this evening should not go beyond 10 or
or half-past 10 o'clock, when he would proceed with the
Merchant Shipping Act.
Lord HOTHAM said that he understood the right hon.
gentleman to state last nigbt that he would inform the
house this evening when he would bring the bill forward,
but he had not the slightest idea that it would come before
the house this evening. He acted under that impression,
and communicated with some members of the house, who
were absent in consequence of his statement. -
Mr. LOCKE was not present when the right hon, gen-
tlemen made his statement, but he was under the impres-
sion from what he read that the noble lord (Hotham) was
correct. . .

THE INQUEST

was commenced on Wednesday morning before
James John Shee, Esq.. coroner for the diotrict, who
arrived at Ballincluna at about 11 o'clock. There
was a thronged attendance of the sympathising
people of the neighbourhood. The coffin was covered
with black cloth, and a hearse was awaiting to con-
vey the remains of the deceased to their final resting
place. The jury were sworn after 3 o'clock, the
coroner from the time he arrived being engaged in
searching for evidence.
The Coroner then said Gentlemen, you have
been sworn to inquire into the death of Michael
Maguire, now lying dead at Ballincluna. You are
assembled under a very old and ancient law—one
of the oldest under the constitution) Which imposes
upon the neighbours and residents of the locality
where death occurs the necessity of inquiring into
the cause of that death. I believe there can be no
doubt that a murder, a barbarous murder, has been
committed, and to no more impartial tribunal can
be entrusted the inquiry into the circumstances of
such a fearful crime than to you, farmers residing in
the neighbourhood where the death occurred. I trust L.
you will aid in every poopible manner the authori"

THE MADRAS RAILWA Y .

ANNUAL GRNF.R..tL DaRETINU—(THIS DAY).
The annual general meeting of the directors and share-
holders of this undertahing Was held this afternoon at the
London Tavern. Lieut.-Colonel Sim presided.
The report, an abstract of which has already appeared
in The Sun, having been taken as read,
The CHAIRMAN said he had to congratulate the directors
on the completion of their main or South-West line, which
wo.s no less than 406 miles in length from Madras to Bey-
pour. During the half-year ending the 31st December an
additional section had been opened, the result of which was
that the mileage of this line under traffic had been increased
by 271. The line had taken nine years in construction,
raher longer than was expected, but when the shareholders
considered the distant scene of operation he thought they
'would agree with him that the time consumed had not been
immensely long. The construction of 406 miles of railway in
England, where everything was to be ea.ily obtained, '
would bo considered a work of some magnitude ; but in
India it was a work of immense labour. The line had been
constructed in the best and most substantial manner; and
as he had seen a gentleman who had travelled over the line,
he was in a position to say their works were in the very
best ordor. Twelve miled of the Bangalore branch were
ready for the reception of the permanent way, and it was
confidently expected that, by the end of next year, the
whole would be finished. That branch was expected to
prove a very remunerative one. The chairman then pro-
ceeded to allude to the mode of travelling adopted in India,
and said the grrat mass appeared to adopt the cheapest
mo le of going over the distance rather than to adapting
the first-class rate of fares. This was no doubt owing to the
poverty of the lower class ; but as he thought it was a
circumstance that would continue for some time, it would
be one that required the greatest consideration. After again
congratulating the meeting on the position of the under-
taking, the chairman moved the adoption of the report.
Mr. ARBUTHNOT seconded the motion, which was agreed
to unanimously.
A SHAREHOLDER asked if the chairman could give them
any estimate of the cost per mile of the construction of the
main line.

The CHAllymix said no calculation bad been made, but
he thought it would amount to between £B,OOO and £lO,OOO,
but that would include rolling stock.
The retiring directors
.and auditor were then re-elected,
and the proceedings terminated.
