GIBRALTAR.

Mr. RICARDO asked the Under Secretary for the
Colonies, whether the regulations by which vessels ar-
riving at Gibraltar from Great Britain are placed in
quarantine, are the independent act of the Governor, or
in pursuance of instructions from the British Govern-
ment ; and whether he will lay on the table any corre-
spondence which may have taken place on the subject,
either between the Governor of Gibraltar and the Span-
ish Government, or between the English and Spanish
Governments, or between the British Government and
the Governor of Gibraltar.

Mr. PEEL said it was not the act of the Govern-
ment but of the local board of health, acting on an order
in Council. A person had been appointed to proceed to
Gibraltar and investigate the matter. There would be
no objection to produce the correspondence.
EDUCATION (SCOTLAND) BILL.
Colonel BLAIR asked the Lord" Advocate what day
the second reading of the Education (Scotland) Bill will
come on ; and whether it is his intention to postpone it
until after the Ist of May.
The LORD ADVOCATE said he would state to•
morrow when he should take the second reading.
UNIVERSITY REFORM.

In reply to Mr. BLACKETT,
Lord J. RUSSELL said he intended to bring on the
second reading of the Oxford University Reform Bill on
Friday (t6-morrow).
LICENSING BEER SHOPS.

Mr. MILES rose to ask the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer whether the Board of Inland Revenue instructs
its officers to grant licenses to sellers and retailers of
beer, under the Act 3 and 4 Vic. c. 61, when the appli-
cant is not certified by the overseer of the parish in
which the house applied for to be licensed is situate, as
being the real resident holder and. occupier of the said
house.

The CHANCELLLOR of the EXCHEQUER re-
plied that, without giving any opinion, he must answer

SHERIFFS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

(Before Mr. Ryland.)
LOCK V. EDWARDS.

In a case of a judgment summons, defendant having failt-A.
Inded
to keep up the payments ordered by the Court. The sum-
,t the
mons was taken out for default in two instalments, one of vt to
which he paid into Court this morning. oce,
Defendant complained that the second instalment was only
due yesterday.

His Honour said it was very sharp to take ont a summons
before the amount was due.

Defendant said ho would pay the remainder on Monday,
but he had other claims on him.
His Honour asked defendant whether he was not a clerk in
the Money Order-office, and was answered in the affirmative.
His Honour said that he should be very careful in not incur-
ring liabilities without the means of meeting them ; for
although MS salary might not be largo, yet he held a situ-
ation of great responsibility to the public, and became open
to great temptations. It was very dangerous to incur such
liabilities, and the public would be inclined to lose confidence
in trusting their money with men who could not keep their
gwn.

SOUTH SEA COMPANY.

The proprietors of South Sea Stock met yesterday, Mr.
C. Franks, the Sub-Governor, presiding, for the purpose
of general business, and also to take the opinion of the
majority on the bill now passing through the Legislature
for winding up the original company, and organising ano-
ther to carry out the administration of trusts. In opening
the proceedings, the Sub-Governor stated that it had been
usual, at ordinary half-yearly courts, to present a detailed
account, showing the generalposition of the company. The
last occasion on which that course was pursued was the
6th of January, but since that period the condition of
their affairs had become so totally altered that he had
considered it desirable to prepare a statement in a general
form, containing the latest information. This document
was in a shape to show simply the assets and liabilities of
the South Sea Company, and the surplus to be ultimately
divided, and the items condensed in the shortest space,
were as follows :

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE.

The quantity of English wheat on sale in to-day's mar-
ket was very limited, but in good condition. All kinds
sold readily, at an advance in the prices of Monday last of
from is to 2s per quarter, and a good clearance was
effected.
We were extensively supplied with foreign wheat ;
nevertheless the inquiry for that grain was rather active,
at from 2s to 3s per quarter above Monday's currency.
There was very little doing in floating cargoes, owing to
the high pretensions of holders.
There was an improved inquiry for barley, the value of
which had an upward tendency.
Although the transactions in malt were limited, pre-
vious rates were well supported.
A steady business was doing in oats, at is per quarter
advance on Monday's prices.
Beans and peas were dull; but barrel flour was is to 2s
dearer.

on Monday of 2d per 81bs. Amongst the supply were 100
oxen from Portugal. Sheep, the numbers of which were
tolerably good, were dull, and 2d per 81bs lower. The
lamb trade was heavy, at 2d per 81bs less money. Prime
small calves were scarce, and quite as dear. Inferior
calves, as well as pigs, commanded very little attention.

THE PRESTON STRIKE.

A meeting was held at Preston on Wednesday night
to consider the state of the town with reference to the
strike. A resolution was passed in favour of a compro-.
mise, to be effected by mediation, and the following
gentlemen were elected as a committee to take the mat-
ter in hand :—Sir George Strickland and It. T. Parker,
Esq., members for the borough ; J. W. Patten and J.
Heywood, Esqrs., representatives of the northern divi-
sion of the county ; Rev. J. 0. Parr, Vicar of Preston ;
T. B. Addison and T. Birchall, Esqrs. ; Messrs. J.
Lowe, J. Greenwood, T. Dixon, Corless, M. Satter-
thwaite, Margison, R. Hitchen, R. Dickson, Dick, J.
Woods, E. King, W. Cliff, T. Swindlehurst, jun., and
T. Tipping, with power to add to their number.
A meeting was held at the Manchester Corn-exchange
on Wednesday evening, Mr. Alderman Heywood in the
chair, at which deep and earnest sympathy was expressed
in the resolutions for the operatives of Preston, with ap-
probation of their general conduct in the strike and pain
at the proceedings taken against their delegates. The
speakers included several delegates, and one of them said
the operatives of Preston had apparently fallen back a
little from their demand of 10 per cent., offering to take
the average price of a district round Preston, but in
reality, he though this would be more than 10 per cent.

NEW DISCOVERY IN TEETH.

MR. HOWARD, SURGEON-DENTIST, 52,
FLEET-STREET, has introduced art ENTIRELY NEW
DESCRIPTION of ARTIFICIAL TEETH, fixed without springs,
wires, or ligatures. They so perfectly resemble the natural teeth,
not to be distinguished from.the orginals by the closest observer;
they will never change colour or decay, and will be foundsuperior to
any teeth ever before used. This method does not require the ex-
traction of roots, or any painful operation, and will supp)rt and pre-
serve teeth that are loose, and is guaranteed to restore articulation
and mastication. Decayed teeth rendered sound and useful in mas-
tication.

(PROM A CORRESPONDENT.)

It is long since I have had the pleasure of communi-
cating with you, but I cannot refrain from expressing
my gratification at several articles on monetary affairs
which have appeared recently in The Suse.
It appears to me most important that an amendment
of the bill of 1844 should be proceeded with without
delay. For, without being an alarmist, I feel convinced
that the war cannot possibly be carried on for any length
of time under the present restrictive principles of Peel's
Bills. I say this, being almost—if I may venture so to
say—as good an anti-. Russian, as yourself !
A Bank Restriction Act, similar to Pitt's in 1797,
would enable us to carry on the war till we had Russia
at our feet. But that will not, in the present feeling of
the country, be resorted to till half the merchants are
ruined, and half the people starved.
What would be as efficacious would be the issue of
one-pound Exchequer-bills, into which the Bank of Eng-
land notes might legally be converted in case of a drain
of gold.
Half the popular objection to paper money resolves
itself into this :—" The bank note promises to pay; and
unless you are always ready to pay 123 grains of gold
for every pound, the bank is broken, national credit at
an end, the country ruined," &c., &e.
All this is quite nonsense, for during the twenty
years when the Bank neither could nor did keep
this "promise," the country prospered, and the Bank-
note was always "convertible ' into bread, beef, iron,
tin, hay, straw, stubble, and the Times newspaper at
market price. You could also buy as much gold as you
liked, and gold was cheaper than any other commodity,
for gold being no longer wanted for sovereigns, of which
one-pound notes supplied the place, the demand for said
gold diminish.id, and therefore it was less in the market
than another commodity. The enormous taxes raised
prices in many cases fully 100 per cent. ; gold scarcely
ever reached half that rise of price in the Bank-note.
But what I now wish to say is this : Gentlemen ob-
ject to a bank note which has a promise to pay, and
does not keep its promise. Very well. Then
let the) QUEEN, with the sanction .of Parliament,
issue 1/. Exchequer Notes, or National Paper-money.
There's nothing in the name—which the country shall
promise not to pay, but to receive for taxes.
People trust to the honour and honesty of England to
the amount of 800 millions, and it is incredible that we
cannot trust one another to the amount of ten or twenty
millions of national one-pound notes for our own conve-
nience and advantage.

If I were not convinced that not only the welfare and
happiness of my countrymen, but also the power to cope
with the great Northern Despot, depend upon the esta-
blishment of a better monetary system than we have at
present, I should not trouble you on Ibis subject.

THE OATHS BILL.

In reply to Mr. SPOONER,
Lord J. RUSSELL said it was not his intention to pro-
ceed with the Oaths Bill until after. Baster. (Hear.)

THE W.R.
THE QUEEN'S MESSAGE,

On the motion for taking into consideration the Royal
Message on the war, moved by Lord. J. Russell,
Mr. SPEAKER read the Message, which has already
appeared in print.
Lord J. RUSSELL then rose and moved the adoption
of the following address :
"That a humble address be presented to her Majesty, to
return to her Majesty the thanks of this house for her most
gracious message, and for the communication of the several
paperi which have been laid before it in obedience to her
Majesty's command. To assure her Majesty of the just
sense we entertain of her Majesty's anxious and uniform
endeavours to preserve to her people the blessings of peace,
and of our perfect confidence in her Majesty's disposition
to terminate the calamities of war whenever that object
can be accomplished consistently with the honour
of her Majesty's Crown and the interests of her
people. That we have observed with deep concern that
her Majesty's endeavours have been frustrated by the spirit
of aggression displayed by the Emperor of Russia, in his
invasion and continued occupation of the provinces of Wal-
lachia and Moldavia—in the rejection of equitable terms of
peace, proposed under the sanction of the four principal
powers of Europe—and in the preparation of immense
forces to support his unjust pretensions. That these pre-
tensions appear to us subversive of the independence of the
Turkish empire. That we feel that the trust reposed in us
demands on our part a firm determination to co-operate
with her Majesty in t gotous resistance to the projects of

INDUSTRIAL AND REFORMATORY INSTITUTION. —Yes'
terday a fancy fair, for the benefit of the above institu-
tion, was held at the Hanover-square Rooms, under the
patronage of the Marquis and Marchioness of Westmin-
ster, the Marquis of Blandford, the Earl of Shaftesbury,
the Earl of Dartmouth, the Countess of Derby, Lord
R. Grosvenor, &c., &c. A series of stalls were tastefully
arranged, so as to display a large collection of fancy
needlework, &c., as also many articles manufactured by the
inmates of the institution. At the principal portion of the
stalls the ladies patronesses presideds who were favoured
throughout the day with a very numerous attendance of
visitors, which produced a considerable accession to the
funds. This institution has been established for lads
above sixteen years of age, in BeaumOnt-place, New-
road, as an auxiliary to the Ragged Schools in that
locality, in order to provide them with profitable
employment. They are taught the following trades—
viz., blacksmiths, turners, and carpenters, and in which
branches, although the institution has only been esta-
blished about a year and a half, some excellent
specimens have been produced. At present the in-
mates consist of only 18 lads, who have been admitted,
after the usual probation for two weeks. There is, how-
ever, accommodation for 50 or 60 lad:4, but which would
require an outly of 7001. per annum. To effect this
object, as well as to clear off a debt of 3001., the pro-
moters and patrons are using every exertion, in further-
ance whereof this fancy sale, which will- be continued
thin day, opvcially devoted.

MAD DOGS.

Sir J.V. SHELLEY said memorial had been presented
to the Home-office, from the Royal Agricultural Society,
pointing out that mad dogs were greatly on the increas3
in the neighbourhood of the metropolis, and requesting that
additional precautions might be taken for protecting the
inhabitants against such rabid animals. He wished to know
what has been done in this matter ?
Mr. FITZROY said, in consequence of this memorial,
the noble lord at the head of the Home Office had given in-
structions to the police to keep a vigilant look out for all
dogs of suspicious character or vagrant habits. (A laugh.)
ROYAL ESCORTS.
Mr.WARNER asked the Secretary at War, whether the
Government are willing to consider the expediency of en-
trusting the ordinary escort duty of her Majesty to the
Queen's Guard of the Hon. Corps of Gentleman at Arms,
instead of e m ployi ',g a cavalry regiment?
Mr. S. HERBERT said in consequence of having re-
ceived notice of this question, he had caused inquiry to be,
made into the subject, and as ho found that the corps re-
ferred to had not been in possession of horses for the last
150 years—(a laugh)—he was afraid it was incapacitated
from undertaking the duty which was performed by the
Guards.

DUNGARVON ELECTION.
Mr. NAPIER brought up the report of the Dungarvon
Election Committee, declaring Mr. Maguire to be duly
elected, though bribery and treating were carried on at
the election in 1852, but without the knowledge of the
sitting member. The committee also reported that a peti-
tion was presented against the return of 1852, but it was
subseqilently comprised, and the enquiries of the com-
mittee had, therefore, been only of a limited character.
The report was ordered to lie on the table.
NEUTRALS.
Mr. PHILLIMORE gave notice that after Easter he
should call the attention of the house to the doctrine
which the Government had adopted with regard to neu-
trals, with the view of eliciting a declaration from the

inconsistent, as a general rule, with the honour and in-
terest of the country.
