THE LICENSING LAWS.

Mr. LAWSON asked the Home Secretary whether, the
house having refused to deal with the licensing laws by
any private bill, he now intended to introduce any public
or general measure for remedying the evils inflicted on
the public by those laws ?
Sir G. GREY said that after the discussion which
had taken place on this subject, the Government did not
deem it desirable tQ introduce any bill in reference to it
during the present session.

THE MALT TAX.

Several petitions from different parts of the country, and
from every class of society, were presented in favour of a
reduction of the duty on malt, or its entire repeal. The
presentation of petitions for this purpose occupied the
greater part of the time of the house this afternoon.
PUBLIC-HOUSES CLOSING ACT.
Mr. LAWSON moved for a return of the Town Councils
and Boards of Commissioners which have adopted the
Public-houses Closing of 1864, with the date of its adop-
tion, and the population under the operation of the Act in
each municipality and district.

BRAZIL.
Mr. WHITE gave notice that this day week ho would
ask a question in reference to the affairs of Brazil.

QUESTIONS.
The only question on the paper for this evening was one
by Sir H. Bruce in reference to Ireland, and this was post-
poned, the Chief Secretary for Ireland being absent.

REPEAL Of THE MALT-TAX.
Sir F. KELLY rose to draw the attention of the:house to
this subject embodied in the formal motion, which was in
the following terms :—" That in any future remission of
indirect taxation this house should take into consideration
the duty on malt, with a view to its early reduction and
ultimate repeal." The right hon. and learned member said
that people who considered themselves competent autho-
rities upon certain matters found out their mistake, and he
believed tho present question was one that would be satis-
factorily answered.

RAILWAY INTELLIGNECE

MID WALES.

The report of the directors stated that the line was
opened for traffic in September last. The railway since
its opening had been worked by Messrs. Watson and Over-
end, the contractors, but at a considerable disadvantage
owing to the great difficulty of obtaining a sufficient num-
ber of engines, though with an abundant supply of rolling
stock ; nevertheless the traffic had been of so satisfactory
a character as to warrant the conclusion that when deve-
loped it would be remunerative. The directors had intro-
duced two bills into Parliament this session for the exten-
sion of the line ; the one to join the Central Wales Rail-
way, and the other to join the Manchester and Milford
Railway. The capital account showed that £924,992 had
been expended, leaving a balance of £1,182.

SHIRE.

The total expenses of this and of the South Yorkshire
Company's railways, including rents, tolls, duty, &c., from
January 1 to February 26, amounted to £64,647, as against
£62,851 for the corresponding period of 1864. The pro-
portion of the South Junction receipts accruing to the
company, from January 1 to February 26, amounted to
£5,228, as against £5,185 for the corresponding period of
1864, and the expenses to £2,668, as against £2,624.

GILBERT'S ACT.

Mr. MITFORD asked the President of the Poor Law
Board if ho intended to bring in a bill this session to carry
out the recommendations of the Poor Law Committee
with respect to unions and parishes under Gilbert's Act.
Mr. VILLIERS said that the Government were satisfied
of the necessity that existed for the introduction of a bill
on this subject, and were prepared to bring it before Par-
liament this session.
THE LICENSING LAWS.
Mr. LAWSON asked the Home Secretary whether, the
house having refused to deal with the licensing laws by
any private bill, he now intended to introduce any public
or general measure for remedying the evils inflicted on
the public by those laws ?

Sir G. GREY said that after the discussion which
bad taken place on this subject, the Government did not
deem it desirable to introduce any bill in reference to it

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, Gray's-inn-road,
in the immediate vicinity of the Great northern Rail-
way Terminus, King's-cross.

Patron—Her Most Gracious Majesty the QUEEN.

- -
This Hospital, founded in the year 1828, the first to estab-
lish the principle of free admission to the sick poor, without
the delay and difficulty of Goverpors' orders, is wholly de-
pendent for support on voluntary contributions and legacies.
It affords relief to a large number of in-patients, and, in
addition to this, the average number of attendance of the
destitute sick has for a considerable period averaged between
3,000 and 4,000 weekly.
The Committee earnestly solicit the ASSISTANCE of the
benevolent, as the premises of this Hospital are capable of
containing several hundred more beds, had the Committee
the requisite funds to maintain them.
Contributions are received by the Treasurer, Edward 111as-
lertnan, Esq., Nicholas-lane; also by Messrs. Coutts and Co. ;
Drummond and Co. ; Glyn and Co. ; Herries and Co. ; Ransom

Liverpool Cotton Market—This Day,

Market quiet at yesterday's quotations. Sales,
4,000 5,000 bales.

The Board of Trade have published ;the returns
of the trade and navigation of the United Kingdrm
for the month of January in the present year, from
which it appears that the total amount of the ex-
ports for that period amounted to £lO 489' 339
against £10,413,586 in the same period of 1864,
and showing an increase of £75,753. The chief in-
crease has been on beer and ale, cotton manufac-
tures, earthenware, hardwares and cutlery, linen
manufactures, thrown silk, and sheep and
lambs' wool, while there is a decrease on coals
and calico, cotton yarn, haberdashery and
millinery, linen yarn, silk manufactures, and
woollen and worsted manufactures. The imports
of the principal articles for the month have been
larger as regards live animals, raw cotton, pro-
, visions, rice, rum, cocoa, and unrefined sugar ; but
smaller in flax, tallow, sheep and lambs' wool, coffee,
wheat, flour, brandy, tea, tobacco, and wine. The
shipping accounts exhibit a decrease of 18,275 tons
on the amount of tonnage employed in the Foreign
trade for the entries inwards, and of 10,848 tons
for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade,
foader,
however, there is an increase of 256,796 tons
for the entries inwards, but a decrease of 3,613 tons
for the clearances outwards.

EXTRAORDINARY BIRTH AT WHITEHAVEN.—On
the 23d ult. the wife of Christopher Tatters, miner, New
Houses, Whitehaven, was safely delivered of three children,
two sons and a daughter. All three were alive when they
were born, but they have, since died. What makes the
birth more remarkable is the circumstance that the same
person, now the mother of 13, was at her last confinement
(on the 16th January, 1864) delivered of twins, both of
whom also died. The poor woman has thus had five
children in 13 months.—Wkitehaven News, Feb. 28.

THAMES.

A DANGEROUS AND FEROCIOUS DOG.—An elderly man,
named Samuel Keeling, who was very lame and with diffi-
culty reached the witness-box, complained to Mr. Pagot
that he had been severely bitten by a ferocious dog on
board the Spanish ship Mannette. He was the ship-keeper
on board the English ship Ellen Rose, and he had occasion
to go on shore for some food. He was returning to his own
vessel, and to do so was compelled to cross over the deck
of the Spanish ship. He had just put one leg over the
gunwale when a dog seized it and lacerated it frightfully.
The wound had been cauterised, and he had been under
medical treatment ever since. He put in a medical certifi-
cate, which stated that the hamstrings were severely torn
and injured, and that the case was a bad one.
Mr. Paget said he could not interfere in the matter. The
applicant could bring his action against the captain of the
Spanish ship.

Applicant—The ship is going away, and unless the cap-
tain is arrested immediately I shall have no redress.

Mr. Paget—l am very sorry for you, but I can give no
help. Go to the County Court and take out a summons.
" I am lamed for life," exclaimed the old man as he left
the witness-box, " and I can get no redress."

STABBING.—John Emanuel William Brown, a foreign
seaman, was charged with stabbing a woman, named
Ellen Duke, of 14, Palmer's Folly, Ratcliff-highway.
There was a disgraceful quarrel last night between the
complainant and a woman whom the prisoner called his
wife, but who has been his companion only since his arrival
on Friday last after a long voyage. The prisoner interfered
in the quarrel and beset the complainant. After knocking
her down he kicked her and stabbed her on the forehead
with some sharp instrument, inflicting a severe wound.
The woman lost a good deal of blood, and appeared in court
with her head bandaged.
Mr. Paget remanded the prisoner.

John Donovan, an Irish labourer, was charged with
wounding a man who did not appear against him, and with
assaulting a police-constable, No. 511 K. The prisoner

GUNPOWDER MAGAZINES.

Mr. Sergeant KINGLAKE asked the Under Secretary of
state for War whether any alteration had been, or was
about to be, made in the system of storing gunpowder in
public or private magazines ?
Sir G. GREY said he would undertake to answer the
question. An inquiry had been made, and a committee had
been appointed in reference to the subject, but the report
had not yet been prepared, and as soon as they were
received by Government, and in a position to be submitted
to the house, they would be laid on the table without delay.

Here to-day there was a good supply of wheat, there
being a fair sprinkling of white and red descriptions. A
healthy demand was experienced, and the extreme rates
of last week were made without difficulty for all good con-
ditioned samples. Barley was pretty well represented, and
there was a steady inquiry, late rates being generally rea-
lised; common kinds, however, were rather lower than
last week. In oats a tolerable share of business was done.
The supply was short, and prices in some cases had a ten-
dency to advance. The quantity of beans at market was
limited, and there was a healthy demand at quite late rates.
Peas moved off at former terms.
New white wheat, 44s to 528 ; new red, 40s to 47s ; old
white, 48s to 535; old red, 45s to 50s per 36 stone. Barley

The Tragedy at Hong Kong•

During the first four months of the present year,
1865, the total strength of officers, men, women,
and children—Royal Artillery, Engineers, of the 2d
battalion of the 9th Regiment, and of the 2d batta-
lion of the 11th Regiment—amounted to 1,204, and
during the following four months the strength was
increased by the arrival of the 2d battalion of the
regiment from the Cape of Good Hope, to 2,079.
The casualties during this short period of eight and
a half months have been as follows :

Died. Invalided.
Officers 4
Dien 95
Women
Children

Total

On October 20 the 11th Regiment could only
muster 100 men for duty, though 704 arrived only
four and a half months ago. No barrack accom-
modation had been prepared for this regiment until
disabled by malaria at Kowloon, where the men
were put up in miserable mat huts, and awfully ex-
posed. All the barracks have been overcrowded ;
the women and children put into old houses of a
most unhealthy character. The temporary barracks
afterwards hired are badly situated, so that sickness
and death continue to prevail. The poor soldiers
had to go on guard every second or third night,
whereby they were exposed to malaria, fatigue, &c.
The hospital was also shamefully overcrowded.
Theverandahs were not only filled with sick (cholera,
fever, and dysentery), but many had actually to lie
down on the floors between two rows of their suffer-
ing comrades.
The cruel treatment to the men, women, and
children in this way has been unequalled in the past
history of Hong Kong.
