Mr. FRESHFIELD thought that financial county
boards were unnecessary and would be productive of
much mischief. He would have been more satisfied if
the noble lord had framed a less objectionable bill. A
county board could in no way promote the interest of the
county.
Sir B. HALL concurred with the noble lord that this
measure would give general satisfaction, even although
the expenditure might be diminished. In the county of
Middlesex the people wished to have some control over
the connty expenditure. The plurality of votes would
be abolished by the present measure: This measure
ought to be a compulsory and not a permissive one.
Boards of guardians would probably elect a magistrate
who they saw inclined to do his duty.
(LEFT SITTIpG.)

peror.
Intelligence has been received from Algiers to
the 15th inst. The colony enjoys perfect tranquil-
lity. The Moniteur Algerien publishes a decree
from the Governor-General, placing under seques-
tration the whole of the property of the tribe of the
Ouled-Dhan, near Guelma, whose hostility has led
to this act of severity. The assimilation of the
products of Algeria to those of the mother-country
is represented as being attended with good results.
Not less than 250,000 hectolitres of wheat have
been obtained from the Arab grounds, and the
quantity of oil produced is rapidly on the increase.
There was again much fluctuation in the prices
of the various national securities yesterday. The
opening of the market was considered strong ; but
towards three o'clock some indications of a desire
to realise caused the Three per Cents. to fall until
they closed 10c. below the rates of Monday, being
last called 80f. 55c. The Four-and-a-Half per
Cents. were called, for cash (higher even than for
the account), 105 f. 85c. Bank Stock was reported.
sf. higher, leaving off at 2,810 f., with a better de-
mand for foreign investment. Railway shares were
nearly at a stand-still, the late improvement having
apparently been quite satisfactory both to holders
and those desirous to invest. There was some de-
gree of disquietude, nothing of tilarm ; but an un-
easy feeling was openly expressed as regards the
affairs of Austria and Turkey.

William Weller examined—Shortly before the last
election, I was living as servant boy with Mr. Hoskins,
a baker at New Brompton, near Chatham. I remember
one day being at dinner with my master and mistress,
when Sir F. Smith came in to canvass my master for
his vote.i My master went out into the shop, but I heard
what passed. Sir Frederick told my master that he
would get him a situation on the railway if he would
vote for him. My master said he wanted a situation in
the dockyard, and Sir Frederick said he would get him
one if he would vote for him. My master agreed, and
Sir Frederick went away.
Cross,examined— I did not see Sir Frederick, but my
master told me it was Sir Frederick. I did not know
the sound of his voice, nor should I know it now.
Mr. Sergeant Wrangham appealed to the committee
whether this boy's statement were evidence.
After a short dischssion, it was agreed to strike out
the whole evidence of this witness. _

The committee re-assembled this morning.
Mr. Backhouse, solicitor, was the first witness called.
His evidence chiefly related to the particulars of the can-
vass for Mr. Hornby. The great majority of the publi-
cans voted for Mr. Eccles, the sitting member.
Mr. James then summed up the case for the petitioner,
and was addressing the committee when our report left.

SOUTHAMPTON DOCK COMPANY.—At the half-yearly
meeting
eSn oduot aBms
.p t
peron sDhoacrke, Cfor
emepoafn y held yes-
i n,
or at the rate of 1/. 12s. per cent. per annum, was de-

dared, and the report and accounts were adopted. It
was stated that the interest on the debenture
debt is gra-
dually undergoing reduction, 40,0001. having lately been
renewed at 4 per cent., instead of at 5 per cent. Addi-
tional
works have been constructed, at an expense of
3,0001., to provide accommodation necessary for the
General Screw Steam Company, and a further outlay of
10,0001. is proposed for that and other requirements of
a similar character. The dispatch of two ships monthly,
instead of one as heretofore, by the Peninsular and
Oriental Company, as well as the decision of the Emi-
gration Commissioners to use Southampton to a consi-
derable extent as a port of departure, were referred to
among the circumstances calculated to cause a large
increase of income. It was likewise stated that a scheme
is in contemplation for extending the capacity of the
docks to meet the augmented business that seems likely
to be attracted to them, which, when perfected, will be
submitted to a special general meeting.
Tins ROTHSAY CASTLE.—The skeleton of a human
body, supposed to have.been one of the passengers lost
in the unfortunate Rothsay Castle, was last week dis-
covered near the Ormes Head, deeply embedded in the
sand. A shoe, on the sole of which were cut the ini-
tials "W. 0." was fastened on one of the feet by a
ribbon. The bones, which were white as ivory, have
been buried in a neighbouring churchyard.
THE FRENCH NAVY.—Orders have, it is said, been
transmitted to Rochefort by the Minister of Marine to
push on the construction of the Ulm, line-of-battle ship,
so that she may be launched at the beginning of next
autumn. A steam-screw corvette, to be called the
Aigle, has also. been laid down at Cherburg, to be
launched at the same period.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Although the supply of English wheat on offer in to-day's
market was very limited, the demand for all kinds, owing
chiefly to the small number of buyers in attendance, ruled
inactive, at prices about equal to those obtained on Monday.
For forward delivery, scarcely any transactions took
place.
The imports of foreign wheat have continued limited.
Selected qualities changed hands at full currencies ; in all
other kinds next to nothing was doing.
Floating cargoes of wheat and beans off Falmouth were
very dull.
Barley—the receipts of which were trifling—was in fair
request, at very full prices.
All kinds of malt were in steady request, at extreme
quotations. the value of which
We had a moderate inquiry for oats,
was well supported.
Beans, peas, and flour, met a dull inquiry, at
figures.

BOROUGH HOP.
In some instances rather more money has been obtained
for new hops. Old qualities more off steadily at late
rates.

and Scientific Institution, on " The British Empire in

ADVANCE OF WAGES ON RAILWAYS.--In consequence
of the enhanced value of all the necessaries of life, the
directors of the Great Western and the Bristol and
Exeter Railway Companies have raised the wages of the
numerous servants employed upon their line from is. to
2s. per week, according to station and conduct. The
enhanced scale has been paid by the former company,
and the latter will comnaenoe the rise on Friday next.
