trust was for small amounts, operate as an obstacle to
the conversion of the stock.
Sir F. KELLY entirely agreed that there should be
no kind of proceeding which would entail any great
expense in the conversion of the stock, and he, there-
fore, objected to the clause of the Solicitor-General, so
far as it allowed an appeal to the Court of Chancery
where parties refused their consent to the trustees.
Looking at the important nature of the bill, he thought
it would be better to postpone the discussion until to-
morrow, in order that they might have an opportunity
of well considering the clause.
The SOLICITOR-GENERAL reminded the house
that the Court of Chancery was now very much altered,
and the application which was proposed to be made in
this bill was in a form which, until lately, was entirely
unknown to that court. It was an application to a judge
of the Court of Chancery at Chambers, which would cost
only a few shilliugs, and occasion only a few hours' de-
lay.

The provision with regard to the Court of Chancery
was also objected to byMr. MIILLINGS and Mr. SPOONER,
who both urged delay.
Sir J. GRAHAM said considering the immense in-
terests involved in the bill he would recommend the
Chancellor of the Exchequer to agree to the proposed
delay if both sides of the house concurred in the prin-
ciple embodied in the clause, but though hon. members
opposite admitted that the common consent should be
required of all the parties beneficially interested, they
objected to the intervention of a judicial tribunal in cases
where those parties were not all agreed. He was satis-
fied that the effect of such a decision would be an
entire bar to the operation of the present bill.
(Hear, hear.) Though very great improvements had
been introduced into the Court of Chancery, he was not
so sanguine as to believe that it was altogether inexpen-
sive, yet he conceived there could not be a greater slur
on the judicature of the country than the assertion that
an appeal to Chancery where parties did not agree would
be ruinous in its effects. If so, all the late reforms of
that court had been altogether nugatory and vain. He
believed that further reforms were indispensably neces-
sary, yet he was confident and sanguine that the mea-
sure of last session would be productive of beneficial re-

sults.
Mr. HENLEY considered that the appeal would do
a great deal more harm than good. Why did not the
Government adhere to the principle universally a,cknow•
ledged in these matters, that if there was no necessity
for parties to do anything, they should be left alone ?
The amendment was also opposed by Mr. CARDWELL,
and supported by Mr. NEWDEGATE.
REPLY OF HER MAJESTY TO THE ADDRESS

OF THE HOUSE.
Viscount DRUMLANRIG, who wore the uniform of
the Comptroller of the Household, appeared at the bar
and read the following :
" I have to thank you for your loyal and dutiful address.
The interest which you have expressed in my domestic
happiness is very gratifying to me.

GERMANY.

A letter from Fribourg of the 23d says —" Per-
rier has been brought before the court-martial.
He wore a blouse and spectacles. On the table had
been placed a pistol with seven barrels, the carbine,
the sabre, and the cartouch box which belonged to
him. He appeared quite unconcerned : the wound
which he received on the head is very slight. Ma-
jor Gerbex saved his life by warding off a thrust of
a bayonet which was directed against him. The
Public Prosecutor demanded the application of the
punishment of 30 years in irons. The civic guard
unanimously demanded that he should be con-
demned to death. The court adopted the applica-
tion of the Public Prosecutor, and has thereby
caused great excitement among the civic guard, as
they say that in a few months he will have obtained
his pardon, and will mvakea fresh attempt at revolt.

' theless it was he who distributed the powder,, and he
was himself fully armed. The f • anatical cure of
and Louis Week have beenarrested. The Director.
of the college and all the pupils wre made prisoners
by the insurgents, and Carrare proposed that they
imbibed
bad all be put to death, as they had • • d
bad principles ; but he was killed at the moment
that he was leaving the church of the Jesuits. The
civic guard fought very well : they were placed in
a very difficult position, having had, in order to
reach the College, to ascend two flights of steps
and to pass through a narrow street. The Ca-r_
bineers soon dislodged the peasants, who were sta-
tioned at the windows. A number took i efuge in
the church, where they were fired on with grape.
The government has made many arrests. The
state of siege has just been raised. The town is
tranquil, and the market to-day has been nume-
rously attended. Among the prisoners taken are
several cures."
It has already been stated that the Second
Chamber of Prussia has rejected by 147 votes to 139
the authorisation demanded by the Government to
prohibit without a previous judicial decision, the
introduction into Prussia of foreign publications.
Before this vote was come to, the Chamber admitted
an amendment presented by the Catholic fraction,
declaring that the authorisation, if granted, should
only apply to works published out of Germany. The
ministers were called on to declare, if after this de-
cision; they would withdraw the bill they had pre-
sented, but they declined to reply. Being pressed,
however, they eventually declared that if the prin-
cipal article were rejected, the Governinent- would

ITALY.

A telegraphic dispatch from Turin, dated Mon-
day, says :—" In the Chamber of Deputies yester-
day, M. Brofferio put some questions to the Minis-
try on the subject of the seizure of journals lately
made at Genoa. The Ministers of Justice and the
Interior replied, and maintained the legality and
the opportunity of the measures which had been
adopted. The Chamber passed to the order of the
day pure and simple."
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 23d has the fol-
lowing article in its first column
" T,,e Milan Gazette of the 20th quotes an article from
the Sentinella Cattolica of Nice, of the 13th' respecting
a pretended stay of Garibaldi at Nice, and imaginary
connivance at it on the part of the authorities whose duty
it is to provide for the safety of the State. Before the
said article was repeated by the Milan Gazette, the Go-
vernment of the King had considered it its duty to in-
quire who was the author of it, and having learnt his
name, to invite bins to declare what proot's or what cir-
cumstances he had in support of his allegations ; upon
which he confessed that his statement was solely founded
upon vague rumours, the origin of which lie could not
even point out. One fact alone alleged in that article is
true, substantially at least. A British schooner did in-
deed pass a few days in the port of Nice, and when she
dot under weigh she fired off five guns at about a mile's
distance from the port, for the purpose of saluting a
joyous company who were at supper, and with whom the
captain of the schooner had passed the evening. The
schooner belongs to one of the members of the British
Yacht Club."
The Giornale di Roma of the 19th contains a
notice from the Peruvian Legation at Rome, an-
nouncing that orders have been received to have
an equestrian statue of General Bolivar executed
for that government, besides twelve statues more,
and inviting artists to address themselveS to the
Embassy for further particulars.
A letter from Naples, dated March 24, stating
that news had been received there of a soldier
having been murdered at Palermo, and that to the
dagger with which he had been stabbed was at-
tached a paper with the words, " Vengeance of
Mazzini," that a great number of arrests had been
made, that five persons had been immediately shot,
and that General Filangieri, the Governor of
Palermo, had published proclamations announcing
severe measures for the repression of any attempt
at insurrection, which was published rather more
than three weeks ago in one of the Paris journals.
The Constitutionnel now publishes a letter from Pa-
lermo, dated the 15th, and signed Caldareira, in
which the writer asserts that the murder spoken of
was never perpetrated, and that no proclamations
of the nature alluded to had been published. All
that was true in the letter of the 3d, says M.
Caldareira, was the fact that arrests had been made
of some conspirators against the Government.
Four of them were condemned to death for having
concealed arms, but the king almost immediately
granted their pardon.

GREAT ROWING MATCHES.

Three great boat-races amongst gentlemen amateurs
of position in society, and celebrity in the art of rowing,
took place yesterday, and attracted a great assemblage
of spectators.
The first on the list was between Mr. Oswald Diver,
of Great Yarmouth, and Mr. H. Playford, for a silver
cup ; distance, from Putney to Mortlake.
The various boats accompanying the race having takon
their stations, the gentlemen started at a beautiful pace.
After the first two or three strokes, Mr. Diver began to
take the lead, and off Messrs. Searle's had drawn him-
self :more than his own length clear, Mr. Playford
rowed very gallantly throughout, but never could change
the fortune of the day, and eventually resigned near the
conclusion of the stipulated distance.
Immediately after this start, Mr. J. Payne and Mr.
Kippinghall came to their stations at Putney-bridge, to
row the same distance as the previous pair, for a similar
prize. Mr. Payne took the lead, and although, as
before, the opponent tried his utmost to work out of the
"stern sheets," he was unable, and Mr. Payne won by
two hundred yards.
Messrs. Knight and Price were the competitors in the
third race, the former being the Norwich champion, and
the latter a celebrated London amateur. The course in
this race was the same as the others, but reversed, the
men rowing down from opposite the Ship at Mortlake.
It was one of the greatest races ever witnessed but was
undecided, owing to a foul occurring when within sight
of the goal. Price had a fine lead at the go off, which
he cultivated into four lengths at one part of the distance,
but the beautiful lasting, not to say improving, qualities
of Mr. Knight, brought them scull and scull at last,
when a barge being in their course a foul occurred ; to
determine which under its peculiar circumstances is a
matter of considerable difficulty, owing to the gentlemen
being so pressed and surrounded by boats. Tht umpire
has reserved his decision.

FEMALE AID SOCIETY.

The annual meeting of this society was held yester-
day at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St. James's. The
Marquis of Cholmondeley, vice-president of the institu-
tion, occupied the chair.
The CHAIRMAN, after the report of the state of the
sesiety had been read, said be was happy to meet so
large a number of the friends and supporters of this
very useful society, that afforded, first, shelter and pro-
tection to servants and other unprotected females of good
character ; and, secondly, provided an asylum for fallen,
but penitent females. The noble marquis then made a
forcible and eloquent appeal on behalf of the socieiy.
The meeting was subsequently addressed by several
supporters of the society, among whom were the Rev.
Mr. St. John Mildmay, and the Rev. Mr. Foster
Rogers, the chaplain of Westminster Bridewell.
From the report, it appeared that since the establish-
ment of the Home for Female Servants, in November,
1836, there bad been 2,072 females admitted, and 4,513
provided with situations. Since the establishment of
the Home for Penitent Females, 939 had been admitted.
A vote of thanks having been awarded the Marquis of
Cholmondeley, for his conduct in the chair, the proceed-
ings terminated.

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 21st contain no news
of importance. The Diario states that some sur-
prise had been caused on the Stock Exchange by a
sudden rise of 4 per cent. in what are called the
Committee Bonds, which had been considered, to
use its own expression, " definitively dead," and
it requests that information as to what it is in-
tended to do with respect to them may be given,
so as not to lead speculators into error. The same
journal announces the appointment of M. Augustin
Munoz, Count de San Augustin, as member of a
commission at London, with a salary of 24,000
reals (6,000 f.) General Aupick, the French Ambas-
sador, had left Madrid, and the first secretary of the
Embassy was to carry on the business until the arri-
val of M. Turgot, who was expected at the end of the
month. A letter says :—" Most of the capitalists
have hastened to renew their credits to the
government. The Bank of San Fernando has ad-
vanced to the Minister of Finance the sum of
10,000,000 reals, which he required to complete
the payments of the month. Notwithstanding the
avowed intention of the Ministry to adopt a policy
of conciliation, a certain number of members of the
Opposition seem disposed to refuse it their co-ope-
ration. Cabinet councils are frequently held. A
question, which seems to occupy the Ministers more
than any other, is relative to the concessions of
railways of which the works have not been com-
menced. General Concha and some members of the
Opposition seem principally opposed to the conces-
sion of the Northern line." _ _ _

The ceremony of the baptism of the infant child
of Prince Henry of Bourbon, brother of the King
of Spain, took place on the 22d with great pomp in
the church of St. SernM at Toulouse. On leaving
the church handfuls of small silver coin were thrown
amongst the crowd.

The Espana states that the number of passengers
on the railway from Madrid to Aranjuez during the
first three months of the present year has been
52,274, and the quantity of goods conveyed 12,164
tons. In the corresponding period of the preceding
year, the passengers were 63,785, and the goods
8,190. The falling off in the passengers is attri-
buted to the backwardness of the spring.

THE SUBMARINE TELEGRAPH TO HOLLAND.—The
work of laying down the electric telegraph from Ipswich
to Orfordness, to be connected with the submarine com-
munication thence to, Holland, was commenced on
Monday last. The brow of the first hill on the Wood-
bridge-road was selected as the starting point of opera-
tions. The iron pipes in which the cable will be en-
closed are laid at a depth of about two feet -/gelovv the
surface, and a stout wire is passed through, temporarily,
for the purpose of drawing the cable itself through when
the state of the works will admit of it. Between 40 and
50 men are engaged upon the work, and nearly a mile
is already completed. The iron pipes, it appears, will
not be used beyond the Duke of York public-house, at
the foot of Albion-hill, Woodbridge-road, on account of
the great expense, and earthenware pipes will be em-
ployeil instead. It is stated that about four miles of
this description of pipe will be delivered on Saturday
next. Some deviation in the course through the town
has been determined upon, As it has been intimated by
the Eastern Union Company that no opposition will be
offered to the junction being effected with their standards
at the Audit-office in the marshes, instead of at Stoke.
This will materially shorten the distance and diminish
the outlay, as well as avoid the inconvenience to which
the traffic to the town would be exposed by the breaking
up of the streets leading to the station. —Suffolk

It also announces the appointment of a central
commission for the regulation of races and race-
courses. It will be charged with the decision of
claims or contests which local commissions may
have considered it their duty not to determine. It
is composed of M. de Morny (president), the Baron
de Rochette,-Baron de Lecoulteux, Colonel Fleury,
Baron de INerres, M. J. Reiset, and M. E. Leroy.
Monday the ratifications of the convention re-
cently concluded between France, Belgium, and

A French ship called the Empereur du •Bresil,
arrived on Monday morning at the port of Havre,
and immediately the police went on board, and
prevented any of the passengers from leaving her.
The crew, however, were allowed to go on shore ;
but no communication between her and the shore
was permitted. The cause of these measures is
not known. _ .

At the Bourse yesterday the amount of business
transacted was not extensive, with a downward
tendency in prices, the Three per Cents. and the
Four-and-Half per Cents. for cash having declined

—Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 103 f 40c. ; Three
per Cents., 80f. 30c. ; Bank Stock, 2730 f. There
was also a general decline in the prices of Railway
Securities ; in Paris and Strasbourg shares to the
extent of 6f. 50c., and in the remaining lines
generally of from lf. 50c. to 3f. each. Paris and
Rouen shares attained an advance of 2f. 59c. at
the conclusion of business.

ALARMING FIRE.-LOSS OF TWO LIVES'.
(THIS DAY.)

This morning, shortly before three o'clock, a fire of a
most alarming character, which at one time threatened a
vast destruction of property, and which, we regret to
announce, terminated in the loss of two lives, and per-
sonal injuries to some other parties, broke out in a
dwelling-house, situate in Plicenh.--street, Gray's-inn-
road, immediately facing the walls of the House of
Correction.
It appears that the fire commenced its destructive
ravages in the back kitchen, which had the evening be-
fore been used as a laundry, and burnt with such rapi-
dity that the whole of the house was in flames before the
inmates could be made aware of their great danger.
Mr. Holden, the occupier of the second floor, having
been awoke, and finding escape by the staircase impos-
sible, at once judiciously threw the bed and mattress on
to the pavement, and by that means he and his family
escaped. Having effected the safety of his own
family,' he next endeavOured to save the two children
of Mr Brown, who were sleeping in the first floor
back, but his efforts proved of no avail. At
this juncture the Royal Society's fire escape, sta-
tioned at the Foundling Hospital, came up, and every
effort was made by the attendants to save the children,
but unfortunately without success. We regret to state
that one of the escape men, in his brave attempts to
reach the poor children, met with a severe accident, he
having the whole of his face and eyes severely burnt,
besides having the skin on both his hands charred off by
the action of the fire. Shortly after the breaking out of
the fire, several engines from the various fire stations
attended, and owing to a plentiful supply of water being
at hand, got the fire under. A search was then made
for the bodies of the children, who were found dreadfully
burnt, and con'reyed to a neighbouring public-house
there to await an inquest. Great fears were at one time
entertained for the safety of the surrounding property—
there being a very large number of valuable funeral
horses, the property of Mr. Chancellor, in the stables
adjoining. The ages of the children were, the youngest
eight and the eldest ten.
None of the parties, who are very poor, have saved a
single thing, they having, as stated above, had to make
their escape in their night clothes. The cause of the
fire has not been ascertained. None of the parties are
insured.

THE SIIRUARINE TELEGRAPH TO HOLLAND.—The
work of laying down the electric telegraph from Ipswich
to Orfordness, to be connected with the submarine com-
munication thence to Holland, was commenced on
Monday last, The brow of the first hill on the Wood-
bridge-road was selected as the starting point of opera-
tions. The iron pipes in which the cable will be en-
closed are laid at a depth of about two feet below the
surface, and a stout wire is passed through, temporarily,
for the purpose of drawing the cable itself through when
the state of the works will admit of it. Between 40 and
50 men are engaged upon the work, and nearly a mile
is already completed. The iron pipes, it appears, will
not be used beyond the Duke of York public-house, at
the foot of Albion-hill, Woodbridge-road, on account of
the great expense, and earthenware pipes will be em-
ployed instead. It is stated that about four miles of
this description of pipe will be delivered on Saturday
next. Some deviation in the course through the town
has been determined upon, as it has been intimated by
the Eastern Union Company that no opposition will be
offered to the junction being effected with their standards
at the Audit-office in the marshes, instead of at Stoke.
This will materially shorten the distance and diminish
the outlay, as well as avoid the inconvenience to which
the traffic to the town would be exposed by the breaking
up of the streets leading to the station.—Suffolk
Chronicle.

RUSSIA.

The St. Petersburg Journal of the 17th states
that a fresh condition has been imposed on Russian
subjects who desire to travel to foreign countries,
namely, that they must not owe money to the Im-
perial Bank. The reason of this arrangement is
that of late the Imperial Bank has become prin-
cipal mortgage-creditor of all Russia.
The Post Ampt Gazette of Frankfort announces
from Moscow that the cholera has broken out in
that city. The hospitals have been. placed at the
disposal of the patients in eight districts. The
number of persons attacked had not been ascer-
tained. The cholera continued at St. Petersburg.
On the 14th there were 35 new cases-20 deaths
and 13 cures.

BARNSTAPLE.

This committee resumed this morning at half-past
eleven, when the examination of witnesses was proceeded
with.

A Buckingham—Was a freeman of Barnstaple. Was
canvassed for his vote by Sir William Frazer and Mr.
Bremridge. Mr. Marsh and Mr. Evans were with.
them. Was canvassed at his own house. Did not re-
member if he promised his vote at that time. I knew
Mr. Marsh's house in Barnstaple. Went to Marsh's
house several times before the election. Went to the
house of a man named Williams on the polling day. Was
told to go there by Charles Parkins. Went to Williams's
to get something to drink. Believed he also meant to
try and get a little money for his vote. Went
into a bedroom at William's, where he saw several
voters. There were refreshments there. There was
some talk about money for votes. Went from William's
house to the poll. Had heard that he might get 6/. for
his vote. After voting went back to William's house.
Saw Cl. in a room there. Took the money up. Wil-
liams was in the room at the time. Saw other voters go
into the same room.

(This witness was under examination when our re-
port left.)

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY•)

CORN EXCHANGE.
Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday we!
but moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand for
all kinds was in a sluggish state at drooping prices. Barley
moved off steadily at full quotations. Oats were cfalte d
dear ; but malt, beans, peas, and flour were very dull, ,
lower to purchase.
Advices from New York state that both wheat andtcer
were in active request, at higher terms. In most of .
continental markets the general demand ' O
hairquied h,eavi,„;
notwithstanding that the supplies on offer have Vim
means extensive.
"Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of Engliiji
grain were limited. From abroad we received 9,439 (11".
of wheat, 5,703 barley, 2,110 oats, 1,700 rye, 1,724
2,005 tares, 2,796 linseed, 112 mustard seed, 66 eon's
seeds, 700 sacks and 11,076 brls. of flour.

country millers being far from numerous, and the prwlii.
of foreign flour rather heavy, the demand for all kind,
wheat of home produce was in a sluggish state. In Prime
however, no change took place, and a total clearance '—
with difficulty effected.
The amount of business doing in wheats for forward at:

With foreign wheat we were again extensively =PP

Floating cargoes, the arrivals of which have not beel,/

We were but moderately supplied with barley. 11187,1
samples were quite as dear as last week. Grinding
distilling sorts sold slowly, yet the quotations were
supported.

To-day's market was fairly supplied with foreign Ott
the time of year considered ; whilst the general qua
the supply was good. -
ebe From our own grazing districts, the receipts of ,„ ec
fresh up this morning were on the increase, and 1,00
cellent condition. On the whole, the attendance of
town and country butchers was tolerably numerous Vfitf
owing to the change in the weather, there was less se,' or
in the trade. However, last week's prices were we'eo
petted, and the general top figure for beef was the se'
on Friday last, viz., 4s 4d per 81bs.
The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and ifoO,
bridgeshire amounted to 1,800 Scots and short horns ;
other parts of England, 600 Herefords, runts, Downs,
and from Scotland, 300 horned and polled Scots. i(er
Comparatively speaking, the numbers of sheeP, Ar
very moderate ; but the general weight of the suPritittd
a fair average one. Notwithstanding that the el cor
trade was considered in a very sluggish state, late seil,
rencies were paid by the butchers. The primest old Do tie
in the wool, were worth ss. 4,1.—0ut of the wool, 4°'
per 81bs. fi
Lambs, the show of which was by no means ezte.4
sold at from ss. 4d. to 6s. 4d. per 81bs. From the
Wight, 200 came fresh to hand. „6
We were rather scantily supplied with calves, '''-
rnand for which ruled steady, at full prices. „leo
In pigs, very few transactions took place ; nevertm-
the quotations were well supported.

F.XCISE-OFFICE, in Old Broad-street, FOR
J SALE.—To be SOLD, by TENDER, by order of the Corn-
miss'oners of Inland Revenue, in several Lots, or, if an adequate
price be offered, in One Lot, all those extensive, valuable, and highly
important FREEHOLD PREMISES in Old Broad-street, in the city
of London, known for many years as the EXCISE-OFFICE, and,
recently, as the Inland Revenue-office; comprising the elegant and
substantial stone building fronting Old Broad-street, and the spacious
offices and inclosed yard contiguous, in the rear, with a carriage-way
entrance from Bishopsgate-street, all of which have been for the last
eighty years vested in the Crown, and used for the purposes of the
Excise Revenue.
The vast importance of this property, in regard as well to its loca-
lity as its extent, Is of the highest character. The immediate neigh-
bourhood of the Royal Exchange, the Bank of England, the Stock
Exchange, the Auction M art, and the numerous other public and pri-
vate establishments for business, renders its value peculiar; and no
opportunit • of acquiring a site in the city of London, In any degree
approximating that now offered, will probably again present Itself.
Printed particulars and conditions of sale, el ith a form of tender,
may be obtained at the offices of the Secretary, and the Solicitor f
Inland Revenue, Somerset-house ; and of William Herbert, Esq , the
Board's Surveyor of Buildings, on the premises, in Old Broad-street.
All tenders to be delivered on or before the Tith April next.
Inland Revenue, Somerset-house, 31st March, 1853.

The successful results of the ast Half Century have proved beyond

question that

ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL possesses sin-
plarly nourishing powers in the growth, restoration, and

... ,
improvement of the Ihniltn Hair, and when very other specific has
failed.

This celebrated Oil is now universally acknowledged to be the
cheapest, and superior to all other preparations for the Hair. It
prevents it from falling off or turning grey—strengthens weak hair
—produces a thick and luxuriant growth— cleanses it from Scurf
and Dandriff—and makes it beautifury soft, curly, and glossy. Its
operation in cases of baldness is peculiarly active ; and in Os growth
of WHISKERS, EYEBROWS, and MUSTACHIOS, it IS unfailing in its
stimulative operaton. For Children it is especially recommended,
as forming the basis of a beautiful head of hair, arid rendering the me
of the fine-c mb unnecessary. In dres,ing the hair nothing can
equ •1 it 4 effect, rendering the hair so admirably soft t at it will lie in
any direction, ant imparting a transcendent lustre.—Pi ice 3s. 6d.
and 7s. ; Family Bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d. ; and double
that size, 21s.

CAUTION !—On the wrapper of each Bottle are the words, Row-
LAND'S MAcassaa OIL, la two lines. The same are engraven on th,-
back of the wrapper nearly 1,500 times, con, ain!ng 29,028 letters.
