THE WAGES MOVEMENT.

PRESTON, FEB. 7.,—The initiative has been taken in a
movement which, it is hoped, may result in bringing
together the masters and men, who have been so long
estranged. The following memorial, which is to be
signed by the mayor, the clergy, and the chief inhabi-
tants of the town, is to be presented to-morrow—whe-
ther to a general meeting of the Masters' Association
specially convened for the purpose, or to the committee,
has not yet transpired :

IPSWICH-FEB. 7.

,The supply of wheat falls off again. Thu condition of
most of the samples is bad, and millers co uld not be in-
duced to buy them. The sale, therefore, vas very slow,
and are inction of to 3s per qr. was obli..2:ed to be sub-
mitted to. The supply of barley was liberal , trade heavy,
and buyers reluctant to offer terms. Late .in the market
sales took place at 2s 6d per qr. below last week's rates.

A moderate quantity of wheat at market to-day. Thai

of last Tuesday, and inferior samples were bad to sell.
The show of good dry foreign is very limittMl. Very dry
bones are more in demand than other articles. Indian

MEDICAL PRACTITIONERS.

Mr. BRADY moved for leave to bring in a bill for
the registration of qualified practitioners, and for amend-
ing the law relating to the practice of medicine in Great
Britain and Ireland.

Mr. DIGBY SEYMOUR seconded the motion ; and
in doing so, said lie thought it would be, unwise to
make an unnecessary speech on such a question. The
proposed measure, in fact, was nothing more nor less
than a nuisance abolition bill ; and having in view alike
the protection of- the public and the really legal practi-
tioner in a high and honourable profession, it was with
the greatest pleasure that he gave his humble support
to it. "

Lord PALIVIERSTQN said he did not wish to oppose,
the introduction of the bill, but he would reserve to him-
self the right of suggesting any alterations in its details
which he might think necessary on its seeond reading.
Leave was then given to bring in the bill.

DEVONPORT AND KEYHAM DOCKYARD.
On the motion of Mr. COW.PER, and after a few
words in support of it by Mr. STAFFORD, leave was
given to bring in a bill to authorise the construction of
a tunnel between her Majesty's dockyard-at Devonport
and Keyham yard.
IRISH FISHERIES.

On the motion of Mr. M`MA.HON leave was also given
to bring in a bill for the improvement of the Irish
fisheries. . .

FRIENDLY SOCIETIES.

Mr. SOTHERTON moved for and obtained leave to
bring in a bill fbr the regulation of Friendly Socidties,
stating that its object vras simply to commute what had
been a temporary act into a permanent one.'

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY OF BILLS OF EXCHANGE BY A
FRENCHMAN.—At the Manchester Police-court yester-
day, a man who gave the name of Louis Montagnard,
and who said he was son of a French merchant in L on-
don, was charged with having stolen bills exchange
and other property, valued at nearly 10,000/. He
went into the Queen's Efotel in the City, on Saturday
evening, and remained there for about two hours, speak-
ing broken English, but not having any very well de-
fined object in view. After he was supposed to be gone,
a Mr. Garneau, a Canadian merchant, who was stay-
ing at the hotel, went up to his bed-room and found a
man about the size of Montagnard, and wearing a
ofswtahirischanhde
moustache as he did, just coining out of theanadpatrhtemmenatn
He asked him what he was doing there,
said he was seeking his room, the nuincr
had forgotten. Mr. Garneau down
informed the housekeeper. •• h.) went with him at once and
searched the room, and they found that a portmanteau
had
hp,„„exchange open, and a bill of
containing „ del of shirt studs, a purse cent
money, and other property, was abstracted.ag American
The man
bad then left the house. Information was givento
police, and Mayberry and Mack, two of the most az,tive
of the detective force, were set upon the search,..anct, on
Sunday night they succeeded in apprehending Montag-
nard (without his moustache), as he was taking a tram
for Preston. When they came to search him they-found
upon him the bill of exchange lost by Mr. Garneau, and
bills of exchange n
amounting • I the whole to 7,5001.,
which had been stolen from thportmanteau
Chamberlain, another gentleman who was staying at the
Queen's, who discovered on Sunday morning that his
portmanteau had been cut open. Other portmanteaus
had .been cut open in other bed-rooms, and property
stolen from them. It was proved that on Saturday
night the prisoner purchased a suit of clothes from Mr.
Levi, outfitter, of Market-street, and paid for them with
a 20-dollar note—no doubt part of the property taken
from Mr. Garneau's purse. Nearly all the property lost
has been recovered, most of it having been found on the
man when apprehended at the railway station. The
prisoner was committed for trial at the sessions.
COURSE OF EXCHANGE.—The course of exchange at
New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 1091
per cent., and, the par of exchange between England
and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that
the exchange is nominally 0.33 per cent. against Eng-
land; but, after making allowance for charges of trans-
port and difference of interest, the present rate leaves no
profit on the transmission of gold either way between
the_tasta_conntriee. - _

METROPOLITAN (DEPTFORD PUMPING
STATIONS) SEWERS.

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,
Mr. WILLIAMS objected to the second reading, as
the existing Commissioners of Sewers, who were the pro-
moters of the bill, had not the confidence of the rate-
payers, while the Secretary of State for the Home De-
partment had already announced his intention to
bring in a general measure for reorganising the board
.upon a new principle. The object of this bill
was to authorise the construction of a main
sewer from Battersea Fields to Deptford Creek,
at a cost of 700,0001., but the house should be
told that some time ago a much better scheme was
proposed and approved of by the most eminent en-
-gineers of the day, for constructing a sewer from
Vauxhall to Woolwich marshes, at a cost of only
241,0001., which had been abandoned through the
.Opposition of the existing commission. Under these
circumstances he should move that the second
, reading be postponed until this day week with the
view of ascertaining whether the Government were pre-
pared to give a pledge that the provision of the bill
sholild not be enforced until the new commission was
appointed.

_
Mr. FITZROY said the object of the bill was to en-
able the Sewers Commission to purchase land at Dept-
ford which, under any circumstances, would be required
for the sewerage of the metropolis, no matter what scheme
might ultimately be adopted, and no good purpose would
be secured by Parliament postponing the second reading.

After a few words from Mr. A. PZLLATT, the amend-
ment was withdrawn, and the bill was read a second
time, and ordered to be committed.

LAW INTELLIGENCE...-(TIES DAY.)

QUEEN'S BENCH.'
ARCHDEACON DENISON'S CASE.
Lord Campbell delivered the judgment of the court in
this case this morning. It was an application fir a writ
of prohibition to restrain the Archbishop of Canterbury
from proceeding" by way of commission to ascertain if
the archdeacon °had preached doctrines relative to the
Holy Eucharist which were contrary to the Thirty-nine
Articles of the Church of England. The court were of
opinion that the late Bishop of Bath and Wells had taken
no judicial cognisance of the matter, under the 13th of
Elizabeth, but had merely entered into a correspondence
with the archdeacon for the purpose of making up his
mind whether or no proceedings should ho instituted in
the Court of Arches. It could not be said, therefore,
that the matter had been placed beyond the jurisdiction
of the Archbishop of Canterbury, who had unlimited
authority under the Church Discipline Oct to issue the
commission which the archdeacon sought to have pro-
hibited ; and under these circumstances, the court having
read the affidavits on which this motion was founded, and
having deliberately considered the statutes and authori-
ties cited in support of it, were of opinion that the rule
ought not to be granted.
Rule refused acordingly, .

I,7ITATKIIsTS'S DIRECTORY.—BLUNDERS.
Gratis, or forwarded per post on receipt of one penny
stamp, a Review, in eight pages imperial octavo' showing a large
number of absurd and ludicrous blunders, which have appeared In
every edition of Watkins's Direethry, as follows :-
1. In the edition'for 1652, published in December, 1851.
2 The same blenders REPRINTTD into the edition for 1853.
3. The identical blunders again reprintol in the edition for 1854.
4. The same once more reprinted into March edition for 1854.
5. And finally, the same again reprinted into the edition for NEXT
YEAR.
In the "Review" we rreclicted that no full and precise explanation
would be attempted, and the result has proved the accaracy of the
prediction : instead of an open and direct answer in print, the pro-
jector has forwarded written statements to individuals ecmplaining
of our "incessant" attacks upon his book, but omitting to state that
the staple of each of these consists of au exposurs of stale, oil re-
printed blunders, each thne a different catalogue from that appa-
rently inexhaustible blunder-mine—Watkins's Directory.
The Subscribers to the book are respectfully requested to peruse
air last Review, and then t 4 require a full and precise published ex-
planation of blundering, such as we believe never to have been
paralleled in any book purporting to be a " Directory."

RUSSIA.

A letter from St. Petersburg, of the 13th, in the
National Gazette of Berlin,
says As in former
wars, we deeply feel in this the effects of the
vicious state of our administrative organisation.
The results obtained by the Russian armies are far
below what might have been anticipated from the
quantity of men, stor6s,-and money emplgyed. As
long as the manufacture of arms, artillery, and
powder, suffers from the abuses which the Emperor
has vainly striven to eradicate, the Western Powers
will undoubtedly maintain their superiority in the
art of war. The muskets bought at Liege are the
only good ones in the Russian army. The military
governors of the four quarters of the capital have
received high praise for the zeal they displayed
during the passage of the troops."
A letter from Odessa of the 12th, in the German
Journal of Frankfort; states that General Annen-
koff received from Prince Menschikoff on the pre-
vious evening ordors to send all the cavalry he
could divose of to the Crimea, and that the
general had executed them so fully that only three
squadrons remained at Odessa.
The St. Petersburg Journal publishes a long
bulletin from the Russian army of the Caucasus,
according to which, as usual, the Russians boast
of continued successes. They pretend that in one
affair with Schamyl they made him fly, leaving.
400 dead on the field of battle, whilst the Russians
only lost 13 killed and 35 wounded.

Emperor, in which he states that a►ll the damage
dono by the enemy's fire was speedily made good,
and that the troops were animated by the most
heroic courage.

The Allies were fortifying their right flank very

strongly.
The Prince also admits that the Russian loss
in killed and wounded was very great, but adds
that a number of the latter were only slightly
hurt, and had already returned to their ranks.

dice with which such a suggestion will be
received, but we are convinced that it is un-
founded, and that such a measure, if judiciously
carried into operation, would be attended with
very beneficial results. Similar objections were
urged, and for a long time suffered to prevail,
against promotion from the ranks in the army,
and we believe that a peremptory exclusion still
exists in the Indian army; and yet it is now ad-
mitted that the regulation which gives a certain
number •f commissions in the year to men who
entered as private soldiers has been attended with
the most felicitous results, and that it has, in no
.
trifling degree, added to the efficiency of the army.
We have no doubt that the occasional promotion
of a smart sailor, one who had received a suitable
education, and proved himself a thorough seaman
in every particular, would have an extraordinary
effect in inducing a superior class of men to enter
the navy, and conduct themselves in such a man-
ner as to deserve the rewards to which they as-
pire. We trust that these suggestions may be
taken into consideration, having no doubt that
judicious regulations on the subject would be sa-
tisfactory to the nation, and eminently conducive
to the good of the service.
