JEWISH DISABILITIES.

Mr. E. GLADSTONE wished to know whether
it was the intention .of the Noble Lord at the head of
the Government to bring forward his Bill for the re-
newal of the civil and religious disabilities of the
Jews on Thursday, as he had stated?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER
said that the Noble Lord would be in his place on
Monday, and it would be more satisfactory if he then
stated to the House the course he intended to pursue.
CRIME AND OUTRAGE (IRELAND) BILL.
On the order of the day for bringing up the report
upon this Bill being read,
Mr. J. O'CONNELL said that it was not his in-
tention to oppose the Bill upon that stage, seeing that
the sense of the House was so decidedly in favour of
the Bill. He hoped, however, that he should not be
considered as adopting a factious course if, upon the
third reading of the Bill, he should think it his duty
to take the sense of the House again upon the mea-
sure, more particularly with respect to the question
that the House had refused to adopt remedial mea-
sures before passing the Bill.

The report was then brought up and agreed to.
Sir G. GREY proposed some verbal amendments
in one of the clauses, which were agreed to. He also
proposed to bring up a clause authorizing the Lord-
Lieutenant to remove prisoners under sentence of
imprisonment from any gaol in which they might be
imprisoned, in case of fever or any other disease. In
the last session an Act was passed giving the Lord-
Lieutenant power to remove such prisoners, and it
was thought desirable to give the same power to
the Lord-Lieutenant under the present Bill, autho-
rizing him to remove prisoners from any gaol in any
of the proclaimed districts, leaving the expense of the
maintenance of the prisoners to be borne by the
barony, county, or district, from which the prisoners
were brought.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL wished to know whether
the clause would be confined to prisoners after con-
viction

Sir G. GREY said that it would. Under the
former Act it referred to all prisoners whatever.
Mr. J. O'CONNELL thought that in case of fever
or other disease the provision in question would be a
valuable one, and in case it would not increase the
, he had no objection to offer
to the insertion of the clause.
severity of the measure
The clause was then agreed to, and the Bill ordered
to be read a third time on Monday next.
The House adjourned about twenty minutes past
Twelve till Four o'clock on Monday.

DREADFUL INCENDIARY ERR IN ELTHAM.—Last
night, about the hour of eleven, a most terrific destruc-
tion of property commenced on the estate of a gentleman
named Clarke, residing at Eltham, in Kent. From the
information obtained, it appeared that at half-past ten
o'clock some persons were proceeding along the road,
and observed a sudden glare of light near the haystacks
of Mr. Clarke. An alarm was raised, and the inhabi-
tants were promptly on the spot, but from the inadequate
power pf those present, till the arrival of an engine from
a parochial district, nothing stayed the progress of the
destructive element. About one o'clock the West of
England, several of the London Establishment, the
County, and several other engines from London arrived,
but unfortunately they could not ho provided with the
supply of water,
necessary having to supply each other
from a large ditch some distance from the flames ;
yet such were the exertions of the firemen, that not-
withstanding this great difficulty, the firemen saved the
dwelling house, as also the barn, but the sheds for the
reception of beasts, four stacks of hay, out- buildings,
and considerable other property were destroyed. At
three o'clock the firemen had succeeded in their efforts in
allaYing any farther alarm, though it was necessary to
keep two engines working, to preserve five stacks of hay
left in jeopardy. It was ascertained that Mr. Clarke is
insured in the Sun tire-office, so that the object of the
incendiary in that respect will be thwarted. Tho loss
cannot be estimated at less than 700/. or 800/. The
horse and foot metropolitan police rendered every assist.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

CITY, QUARTER TO THREE.

The Cotton Market at Liverpool this week has con-
tinued very heavy, prices having receded id. to kd. per
lb. Sales yesterday, 3,000 bales.—Railway Shares have
been quiet again
The following is an analysis of the Bank of England

Bullion

Active circulation .... 18,783,085
Decrease 186,490

The great increase in the bullion, reserve of notes,
deposits, &c., suffices to prove that the Bank is fortified
for a long time to come, and that it is more likely to
have a difficulty in employing its funds than otherwise.
There are not any arrivals announced this day from
our colonial possessions. It is understood that as far as
the West India trade is concerned, that a more easy feel-
ing exists, under the full impression among its members
that the Government will propose to the Legislature
some measure of relief. How this is to be effected,
should such be the fact, is a point upon which no in-
formation to be relied upon has been made public.
It was known that the firm of Lysaght, Smithatt, and
Co. had yesterday afternoon suspended payment, and,
as reported, for 60,0001. to 70,0001. We understand
that the accounts given are much exaggerated. The
partners were engaged in the East India agency business
principally.
The Consol Market has been rather heavy this morn-
ing. The Account price has been at 84k, the half-year's
dividend off, and at 85i 86 for Money, with the dividend
on. The value of Exchequer-bills has remained
from ss. to Bs. premium. The prices quoted fir Bank
Stock to-day have been from 1864 to 1881.
Mexican Bonds have been steady at 17i f, the Spanish
Three per Cents. at 28f, and the Grenada One per Cents.
at 18k.

In the Railway Share Market there has not been any
business of interest transacted to-day.
