of enlisting African blacks as heretofore ; and, in case the
system of recruiting from island negroes was necessary for
the good of the service, whether permission could be grant-
ed to enlisted men at the proper season to assist the hands
on the various estates in taking in the crops?
Mr. S. HERBERT replied, that orders such as the hon.
member spoke of had not been issued, but that the change
which they were supposed to have effeeted had taken place
from other causes. It was accounted for I.y the fact that
there were not the same number of African blacks as here-
tofore, coupled with the circumstance that there had
sprung up a willingness to enlist on the part of the popula-
tion of the West, India islands. As regarded the second
question, orders had been issued that furloughs should be
granted to the men at harvest time, and so there would be
as little abstraction of native labour as possible.
INCOME TAX ON IRISH DIVIDENDS.
In reply to Mr. BLA.ND,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was not
coguisant of any legal difference between the case of the
stuekowner in England and Ireland. He had not had any
opportunity of ascertaining what deductions had been
made by the governor and directors of the Bank of Ireland,
but had not the smallest doubt that they had been in-
structed by the (.70nunissioners of inland Revenue to de-
duct income tax for the half year. That was in strict con-
formity both with the practice and the law ; and if it were
not, the house at this very time would have been passing
au income tax for six years and a half instead of for seven;

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL
INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.)

• CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 10,000 bales, of which 2,000 were
taken for export and on speculation. The market
closed firm and steady at full prices. Railway
Shares were dull, and inactive.
The amount of bullion in the coffers of the Bank
of England was still further diminished during the
week to the 16th inst. ; but about the period when
the dividends are paid it is not easy to determine
whether a decrease arises from local or foreign de-
mands. The discounts and loans were smaller,
owing to repayments, up9n the opening of the
transfer books, and probably there was also a with-
drawal of Exchequer Bills and Stock, upon which
advances had been obtained, as a great reduction
appears in the item " Government Securities."
The changes, compared with the previous week, are

rest for Ira money, and in case of death his family receive more than

such thing, but his policy at once lapses or is cancelled the moment
he ceases to pay ifs current preniMms, and, instead of having any
tend to fly to for aid, all his hail-earned savings become forfeited to
the society, and his misfortunes serve to benefit the pockets of his
more fortunate co-assurers.
Such a system is too equitable and too striking to be overlooked
and DEPOSIT assurance is the only system of assurance which can be
universally recognised and adopted when the principles are impar-
tially canvassed, and its palpable benefits become widely diffused. It
•onfers greater advantages than a b :nk because it allows a fair rate
of interest in case of withdrawal, and gives twice the amount in the

I such evidence, avowed his change of opinion, and
supported that portion of the bill, which also had
the valuable aid of the Lord Chief Justice. Under
these circumstances, and in order to insure the re-
moval of the anomaly, to carry in to execu-
tion that which he felt to be a necessary supple-
ment to the Act of 1851, Lord BROUGHAM divided
his bill into two portions, one of which, that
rendering married persons competent witnesses
for or against each other, passed the House of
Lords on the 6th of June, while the other por-
tion, relating to the Law of Procedure, now
awaits the third reading. But although the bill,
which would have passed sub silentio in the House
of Commons—a similar provision having been, we
believe, unanimously sanctioned with respect to
Scotland—was immediatelysent down to the Lower
House, no practical step has since been taken, the
matter has been quietly shelved, and the circuits
have commenced without the existing defect hav-
ing been remedied. This is inexcusable. It is
no answer to say that Ministers have no control
over the proceedings of the Lower House. Had
they felt inclined, the bill would have long since
received the Royal Assent; and its becoming a por-
tion of the law would have been some trifling excuse
for their crass negligence in other respects. We
are now told that the provision is amalgamated
in the bill framed for the purpose of carrying out
the recommendations of the Common Law Com-
missioners. Lord CRANWORTH now thinks "it
would be discreditable on the part of any Govern-
ment to pretend honestly to introduce such a bill
as that without having had a great deal more
time for its consideration than they could have
had." This may be so ; but surely Lord JOHN
RUSSELL ought to have known it before he made
the distinct and positive promise above referred
to, and surely Lord. BROUGHAM'S Bill ought to
have been passed without a moment's unnecessary
delay. The Noble Lord will now, however, be
stripped of his borrowed plumes, and deservedly
censured for having even temporarily obtained
credit under false pretences.

RAIL JVA Y SHARE MARKETS.

actions.

The "Genoa Corriere Mercantile, of the l.Sth inst., an-
nounces the arrival, on board the Hellespont, of two
gentlemen banished from Naples, na►nely, Professor
Dominico Mandoj and the Marquis Luigi Dragonetti.
After an imprisonment of several years four citizens
were banished by the Neapolitan Government, and re-
ceived passports for America. On reaching Malta, two
of them, Messrs. Dragonetti and Mandoj, demanded
and obtained leave to reside at Genoa.

EXPORTS,—Yesterday a return CO the House of Com-

Dundee, Leith, Aberdeen, Belfast, Dublin, Cork,

THE POTATO CROP.

The accounts c(lQinuel;Pefiit—and, so far, there
is every reason to believe that the disease, if it has
at all made its appearance, is so limited in extent as
to be scarcely worth noticing. Another fortnight,
however, or even less time, will set all doubts at rest.
The Clare Journal, received this morning, says :
"With regard to this county, we deem it right to state,
again and again, that afterminute inquiries among those
who have been over the principal part of the county,
and from our own personal observation, that no disease
Or sign of disease has as yet made its appearance,
or can anywhere be discovered. The importance of the
subject will be our excuse for recapitulating the same
story ; for if the disease did make its appearance, or the
potato crop fail in the least, the consequences to this
county would be disastrous in the extreme—such an im-
mense breadth of land being sown with them."

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the 17th are, like those of
preceding days, destitute of political interest. The
Diario announces that the Mi▪
nister of Finance is en-
gaged in drawing up an order for the better regulation
of the transactions at the Stock Exchange. The Espana
states that the Abbe Humphrey, rector of the French
church of St. Louis at Madri▪ d, who was recently in
Paris, and received from the Emperor and Empress a
donation of 10,000 f. towards the support of his church
and the hospital attached to it, has been appointed

' such evidence, avowed his change of opinion, and
supported that portion of the bill, which also had
the valuable aid of the Lord Chief Justice. Under
these circumstances, and in order to insure the re-
moval of the anomaly, to carry in to execu-
tion that which he felt to be a necessary supple-
ment to the Act of .1851, Lord BROUGHAM divided
his bill into two portions, one of which, that
rendering married persons competent witnesses
for or against each other, passed the House of
Lords on the 6th of June, while the other por-
tion, relating to the Law of Procedure, now
awaits the third reading. 13ut although the bill,
which would have passed sub silentio in the House
of Commons—a similar provision having been, we
believe, unanimously sanctioned with respect to
Scotland—was immediatelysent down to the Lower
House, no practical step has since been taken, the
matter has been quietly shelved, and the circuits
have commenced without the existing defect hav-
ing been remedied. This is inexcusable. It is
no answer to say that Ministers have no control
over the proceedings of the Lower House. Had
they felt inclined, the bill would have long since
received the Royal Assent; and its becoming a por-
tion of the law would have been some trifling excuse
for their crass negligence in other respects. We
are now told that the provision is amalgamated
in the bill framed for the purpose of carrying out
the recommendations of the Common Law Com-
missioners. Lord CE,ANWORTH now thinks "it
would be discreditable on the part of any Govern-
ment to pretend honestly to introduce such a bill
as that without having had a great deal more
time for its consideration than they could have
had." This may be so ; but surely Lord JOHN
RUSSELL ought to have known it before he made
the distinct and positive promise above referred
to, and surely Lord BROUGHAM'S Bill ought to
have been passed without a moment's unnecessary
delay. The Noble Lord will now, however, be
stripped of his borrowed plumes, and deservedly
censured for having even temporarily obtained
credit under false pretences.

SECONDARIES COURT-(THIS DAY).

(Before Mr. Secondary Potter.)
JOB V. RICHARDS.
The plaintiff in this action is a wholesale stationer, in
Bread-street, and sought to recover the sum of 121.
9s. 6d. for goods, sold and delivered.
for the
pleaded
that plaintiff,
wMars.
Wordsworth v6H-Ortjhafmo re sthaepdpeefaernedd fanto, who
not indebted.
The facts were of rather a peculiar nature. It ap-
peared by the evidence that the plaintiff carried on busi-
ness under the style of " Job and C 0.," although he had
no partners, and he had done some printing, and sup-
plied goods to defendant, who was alleged to have given
the orders for the supply. Plaintiff swore that he was ap-
plied to both by defendant and his brother, and was con-
sulted as to the best mode of carrying out the business,
and he plaintiff, recommended that it should be carried on
under the style of " Richards and C 0.," and a shop was
opened at Hailshead, Essex. The establishment, how-
ever, soon came to a stand-still, and George Richards
went to Australia, and the present action was brought
against " James," who it was alleged concurred in the
orders given, and in fact selected most of the articles
supplied, and acted as a partner. _

Mr. Wordsworth contended that there was no part-
nership, and that the credit had been given solely to
George Richards, and that the "and Co. was the sug-
gestion of the plaintiff himself, who therefore knew that
George was the only party liable.
The defendant was sworn and stated that he never
had been a partner with his brother—that he was only
a servant, but having had more experience in shop-
keeping, he accompanied his brother to select.
The learned Secondary said, that whether defendant
was a partner or not was not very material to the pre-
sent question—it had been distinctly sworn that he had
given the orders. If the jury believed the evidence for
the plaintiff, they had no other course to pursue but to
give a verdict for the amount claimed.
The jury gave a verdict for the 121. 9s. 6d.

GERMANY.

It is stated that several German Governments are
about to send a mission at their common expense to
America, in order to obtain information on the subject
of emigration. The Grand Duchy of Baden has taken
the initiative in the negotiations on the affair.
The Magdeburg Gazette has the following from Dessau,
dated the sth :—" Domiciliary visits were made here
this morning, the motive assigned for them being parti-
cipation in plots against the surety of the State. In par-
ticular search was made for the tickets of a lottery of
pictures set on foot at the commencement of 1850 in aid
of the Swiss refugees. A certain number of these tickets
was disposed of here. The courts of law and the police
had nothing whatever to do with these visits ; they were
a purely administrative measure."

SPAIN.

The Madrid journals of the sth are destitute of news
of interest. The ministry was still incomplete, but M.
Sartorius (Count de San Luis) was spoken of for the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The Marquis de Viluma
was, it was said, likely to succeed the Marquis de Val-
degamas as ambassador at Paris. General Narvaez had,
it was stated, formally expressed the desire to return to
his seat at Loja without entering Madrid. Orders had
been received at Cadiz to fit out the war steamer Pizarro
with all dispatch for a government mission ; some per-
sons believed that it was destined to go to Mexico—
others, to proceed to Italy to convey the King of
Bavaria to Spain. The latter version was considered
the more probable. The Stock Exchange was not open
on the sth, beink Ascension Day.

in various parts of the ship, to discover the effect of an
