LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 25, 1851.

In the House of Lords last night,
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH, in moving for the papers
relating to the trial of JOTEE PERSHAUD, at Agra, went
into a lengthened statement of the services which JOTEE
PERSEIAUD had rendered, and complained of the unfair
treatment which he had suffered from the Indian Go-

vernment.
Lord BROUGHTON defended the conduct of the Indian
authorities, and consented to produce the papers.
The Registration of Assurances Bill was read a third
time and passed.
The Bills on the table were forwarded a stage, and
their Lordships adjourned.
The Commons met at Twelve, when the Prevention of
Offences Bill was read a third time and passed.
On the motion for the third reading of the Smithfield
Market Removal Bill,
Mr. STAFFORD protested against the measure.
Mr. Hume moved that it be read a third time that
day six menthe. On a division, there appeared-..

The Bill was then read a third time and passed.
Sir GEORGE GREY moved the second reading of the
Church Building Acts Amendment Bill.
Mr. HUME complained of the manner in which it was
attempted to hurry the Bill through the House. He
moved that it be read a second time that day six months.
Mr. W. WILLIAMS seconded the amendment.
Sir B. HALL said the Bill was intended to increase the
patronage of the Bishop of LONDON.
Mr. FLUMPTRE would support the second reading,
but did not approve of the clause giving the measure a
retrospective operation.
Sir R. INGLIs supported the Bill, and defended the
Bishop of LONDON.
After some further discussion the debate was adjourned
to Friday, and the House adjourned until Six o'clock.
In the evening sitting,
Mr. DISRAELI gave notice that on Monday next he
would move resolutions to the following effect, as an
amendment to the second Bill upon the paper for that
night:—" That, according to the estimate of the CHAN-
CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, there will be a surplus of
revenue over expenditure amounting to about 2,000,0001.;
that in this revenue is included 5,000,0001. sterling, de-
rivable from the property and income tax, respecting
which an inquiry is now going on before a Committee
which may lead to important modifications of that tax;
and that in this provisional arrangement it appears to
the House more consistent, with a due regard to public
credit and the exigencies of the public service, not to
make any material sacrifice of income in effecting such
changes as might otherwise be deemed advisable in
other branches of taxation."
Mr. M. GIBSON moved for a Select Committee to in-
quire into the working of the system of warehousing
foreign goods in bond iu Manchester, as it affects im-
porters, dealers, and consumers of goods liable to Cus-
toms duty, residing in Manchester and the neighbour-
ing towns; also, as to its effects on the Customs revenue,
an to report to the House us to the expediency or
otherwise of placing Manchester on an equal footing
with all bonded towns in the United Kingdom. The
Hon. Gentleman said that the CHANCELLOR of the Ex
CHEQUER had declared his intention to deprive Man-
chester of the privilege of bonding unless the whole of
the expenses were defrayed by the town, whereas in every
other bonded port in the kingdom they were defrayed
by the Government.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the
motion. No other conditions had been imposed on
Manchester than those which were imposed on every
inland town in the kingdom.
Mr. BRIGHT supported the motion.
Mr. CARDWELL contended that Manchester should
not repudiate the only condition upon which the privi-
lege of bonding had been extended to it—a condition
equally enforced against every inland town in England
which claimed a similar privilege.
After some observations from Mr. HUME, Mr. T.
EGERTON, Mr. LABOUCHERE, Mr. BROTHERTON, Mr.
tiPOONER, Mr. HEYWOOD, Mr. KERSHAW, and Lord
GALWAY,
The House divided, and the numbers were—
For the motion
Against it ... ..• ... 65
Majority ... —l5
Mr. FREWEN then moved the following resolution:—
"That it is desirable to extend the jurisdiction of the
Central Criminal Court to the whole of each county on
the Home Circuit." Should the resolution be carried,
he did not propose that it shonld be acted upon this
session.

Sir G. GREY considered it undesirable to pledge the
House on the subject, and
Mr. FREWEN consented to the motion being negatived
without a division.

➢dr.- H. HERBERT moved the following resolution:—
" That this House will, on a future day, resolve itself
into a Committee, to consider of an Address to her MA-
JESTY, praying that she will be graciously pleased to ex-
tend the same measure of relief to the depositors in the
late Rochdale, Scarborough, Tralee, and Killarney
Savings Banks as has been already extended to the de-
positors in t,le late Cuffe-street, Dublin, Savings Bank."
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER could not admit
.the principle that all losses incurred by the failure of
savings banks must be borne by the revenue, and should
therefore oppose the motion.
Mr. REYNOLDS was so fully convinced of the moral
liability of the Government, that it was his intention to
ask for the remaining ten shillings in the pound, and for
the interest also, at the rate of five per cent.; so that
the sooner the CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER paid the
money the bettor for the public purse.
Mr. BRIGHT supported the motion.
Mr. HUME also supported the motion.
After a few words from Mr. HENLEY and Mr.
SLANEY,
Colonel THosirsox said he believed that in equity
these depositors had an indefeasible right upon the public
purse.
Mr. J. A. SMITH repudiated the assertion that the
public had rendered itself responsible, now or heretofore,
for the savings' banks defalcations.
Colonel DUNNE supported the motion.
The House divided, when there appeared—
For the resolution

Majority ... —7
Mr. URQUHART moved a resolution recommending the
re-ppointment of the Select Committee on diplomatic
salaries.

Aftaz some conversation, on the motion of Mr. BRo.
THERTON the division was taken ou the question that
the House do now adjourn.
There appeared for the motion, 64; against it, 32.
The House accordingly adjourned at a Quarter-past
Twelve.

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER has for the
time being successfully resisted the just and equitable
demand put forward by the lion. Gentleman the
Member for Manchester, on behalf of the important
constituency which he so ably represents. By a
majority of fifteen he has rejected the inquiry so
anxiously sought fur, the effect of which must have
been to establish the propriety of the claim.
The Right Hon. Baronet should not, however, in-
dulge in any premature exultation, or suppose that
the division of last night can have any per-
manent operation. The men of Manchester
are not to be discouraged by a single failure. They
have already proved that they can return to the con-
test with redoubled vigour, and that, in a good cause,
nothing can check their earnest determination to ac-
complish the duty they have undertaken. They had,
after a contest of seven years' duration, fighting the
battle of the working classes of the United Kingdom,
indeed we might say of the industrious population of
the entire world, overthrown the monster monopoly,
whose power was only exceeded by its iniquity. In
vain were the struggles of the Protectionists, al-
though supported by a powerful and well-organized
party in the Legislature, and by the whole strength
of the:bucolic lungs out of doors ; they were unable
to 'withstand the pressure of public opinion, tem-
perately
but firmly expressed. The glorious triumph
that was
ultimately attained was not achieved by a
coup de min.

And it is against given such une-
quivocal proofs of their prowess that Sir CHARLES
WOOD expects to prevail, because, supported by the
obedient pack that follow the lash of the Treasury
whipper-in, and who, while eagerly watching for
the crumbs of patronage that fall from the
Ministerial table, are willing to vote that black
is white, if they can thereby advance the sole object
of their lives, their own private and personal interest,

CHARLES WOOD and his colleagues (and it is to them
chiefly that vie address ourselves, for they have not as
yet Ishown themselves to be irreclaimable, or beyond
the reach of argument) beware. They may be well
assured that one such victory, as that el last night,
would be far more injurious to their future prospects
than the most ignominious andidecisive defeats.
It is impossible to speak too highly of the clear and

And yet, while no complaint is made of the heavy
expenditure in those unproductive districts, in none
of which the gross revenue amounts to more than a
mere fraction of that obtained at Manchester, we
have bitter complaints on the part of the narrow-
minded financier who, unfortunately for the
Whig Government, presides over the Exchequer,
of the sum of 2,5031. 6s. 2d. being required to give
the vast advantages of the bonding system to the ma-
nufacturing metropolis. With the "penny-wise-and-
pound- foolish policy," for which he has ever,been dis-
tinguished, be speaks of depriving Manchester of the
boon conceded in I 844,unless the town council continue
permanently to defray the expenses which they un-
dertook during the pendency of the experiment, and
which they are unwilling to continue, now that the
experiment has been attended with such unqualified
success, a success beyond the most sanguine anticipa-
tions of its warmest advocates.

Manchester is now the sixth bonding place in Eng-
land as to the amount of revenue, and in no single place
is it collected at less than double the expense per cent.
charged at Manchester, and if the revenue should con-
tinue to increase in a similar ratio to that of
the last few years it will speedily go beyond
Hull and Newcastle, which it already closely ap-
proaches. Sir CHARLES WOOD, however, speaks of
taking away its privilege, while there are no less than
31 places in which the revenue collected is less than
5,0001, and 12 more where it exceeds 5,0001.,
but is less than 10,0001. And yet these
places are not to be interfered with, while
Manchester, which returns more than the
whole 43 taken together, is to be deprived of its staff,
and its merchants and traders sent to other districts
to select the duty-paying articles for the consump-
tion of the myriads of industrious persons by which
it is surrounded. If that unwise, that insane course
were pursued, or if as Sir CHARLES WOOD suggested,
the corporation imposed higher rates, the consump-
tion would be materially diminished through the
higher prices, and the revenue itself would suffer to
many times the amount of the paltry sum in dis-
pute. Sir CHARLES WOOD ig, however, will-
ing to run any risk, to incur any degree
of odium and unpopularity, rather than make any
concession. On his head and on those of his col-
leagues be the result. The Manchester men, how-
ever, need not despair; their cause is based on
equity and justice, and must eventually prove suc-
cessful. Magna est veritas et prevalebit.

Absolutely nothing whatever has yet been accom-
plished by our sanitary reformers in the way of sub-
stituting extramural for intramural interment.
Loudly as they have vaunted the importance of this
question, long as they have agitated, in the hope of
bringing about the solution of this difficulty, they
have hitherto failed altogether in dissipating one par-
ticle of the evil complained of by themselves, and
recognised by the vast majority of the community.
Burials are still taking place perpetually in the midst
of our most crowded thoroughfares, in the
very heart of the most densely populated
localities. This, moreover, in the heat
of the summer quarter, and when the metropolis has
had the number of its inhabitants increased by so
many thousands, in consequence of an influx of
foreign and provincial visitors to the Exhibition
Considering the extraordinary magnitude of the
danger referred to, remembering also the reality
of the perils encountered by the continuance of this
detestable system of interments, seeing that the city
graveyards are notoriously known to be the manu-
factories of disease, and the inevitable means
of multiplying the amount of the general mor-
tality, it is absolutely inexplicable to witness
the apathy displayed upon the matter, not only
by the pretended advocates of sanitary improvement,
but, practically speaking, likewise, by both Houses of
the Imperial Legislature. Until the dead are entombed
after a manner very different, indeed, in its character,
it will be frivolous to dream of effecting any material
changes for the better in the social condition of the
living. Gwydyr House and its Commissioners must
perforce remain wholly useless as an administrative
institution until such time as the deceased portion of
the multitude are conveyed to their last rest-
ing place in some conveniently situated
cemeteries beyond the suburbs of London and
of Westminster. Better ventilation in the arrange-
ments of our domestic architecture, purer water in the
management of metropolitan irrigation, more copious
and efficient drainage in the subterranean works of
the capital of England,—all will be idle and preposte-
rous, as a means of improving the condition of the
masses, if the decaying bodies of the departed are
still allowed to remain in the midst of the crowded
quarters of this great city, contaminating the atmos-
phere by their exhalations, and disseminating the
seeds of the most fatal and destructive maladies. From
the indifference hitherto displayed by the nation upon
this matter, it would almost appear as if the generality
were unacquainted with the simplest facts connected
with their corporeal organization ; such, for example,
as the necessity of a pure air for the oxygination of
the blood, and this not only for the support of vitality
through the lungs, but through the whole pores of the
skin in like manner. Without this purity of the
atmosphere it will be preposterous to expect that
human beings can support life merely by the
aid of the nutrition derived from provision, more
especially if water—one of the first necessaries
of existence—is as villanously polluted even as
the atmosphere. Aware, as the majority of the
population must necessarily be of these particulars,
they would nevertheless appear to neglect the truths
forced upon them by their recognition, preferring

QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings at Nisi Prins at Westminister, before the LORD
CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.)
JOHNSTON V. CLARK.
This was an action to recover the sum of 1931. due on
two bills of exchange.
Mr. Noggins, Q.C., and Mr. Willes appeared for the
plaintiff, and Mr. Watson, Q.C., and Mr. J oyce conducted
the defence.
It appeared that the plaintiff, Mr. Johnston, was the
holder of two overdue bills of exchange, one for 871. 10s.,
accepted by the defendant Clark, and endorsed by him to
the plaintiff, and the other for 701., drawn by the de-
fendant on a gentleman named 6ullivau, and endorsed
by the defendant to the plaintiff. He brought an action
to recover the amount of these bills against the defen-
dant, who pleaded a variety of pleas. Issue was
joined, the record was made up, and the trial
fixed for the 19th day of June, 1848 ; but
shortly beforo the trial the parties entered into an agree-
ment for the settlement of the action. The defendant
was the holder of a bill of a person named Clansey, an
officer in the Hussars, for 3001., which fell due on the
30th of August, 1848, and at the suggestion of the de-
fendant, the plaintiff agreed to take this bill, and out
of the prooeeds to pay himself for the amount of the
two bills, together with interest and costs, and to return
the balance to the defendant. In the event of the bill
not being paid by November, the defendant undertook
to settle the debt with costs. These terms were con-
sidered satisfactory by the plaintiff, and the record was
accordingly withdrawn. The bill was dishonoured on
being presented to Clansey, and the defendant
neglected to fulfil his promise. An appli-
cation was subsequently made to a judge at
chambers to enter up judgment against the defendant,
but his Lordship refused to do so, on the ground that
in the agreement the parties consented to a final settle-
ment of the action. The consequence was that the
plaintiff had to pay all the costs which had been incurred,
in addition to the delay, expense, and risk of bringing a
fresh action.
The defence was that Clansey was absent in India
with his regiment at the time the bill became duo, and
would have honoured it had it been presented to him in
the proper way.
The Learned JUDGE having summed up,
The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for the full
amount claimed.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
(THIS DAY.)
At eleven o'clock 19,608 persons had passed through
the doors of the Crystal Palace, and at that hour an im-
mense stream was continually pouring in from all quar-
ters. Most of the visitors to-day were country people,
and, as if to-day were a,special holiday, we noticed a
greater number of soldiers, sailors, and policemen among
the visitors than on any previous occasion.

THE ROYAL CHILDREN TO BE TAUGHT GAELIC.—
The Inverness Courier says that a correspondent who dates
from the Temple, states that her Majesty and Prince Albert
have commissioned a gentleman from the north to engage
the services of a Gaelic teacher for the Royal Family. "There
is every chance," he says, "of an intimate friend of mine
getting the appointment." This is certainly a compliment
to the ancient language of the Gael.

AN ORNITHOLOGICAL MARRIAGE.—In Edinburgh
the following ornithological marriage took place which set
the whole neighbourhood in a
,Mutter:—➢Liss Hen-rietta
Peacock was espoused to Mr. Robbie Sparrow, by the
Rev. Mr. Dow, the bridesman being Mr. Philip Hawk, and
the bridesn laid Mias Lurk-ins.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es

mated at 5,000 bales, of which* 300 American and 400
Surat were taken for export, and 300 American on spe-
culation. The sales comprised 4,000 American; 100
Pernam and Maranham, at 640. to 7ici,, and 850 Surat,
at 3d. to 4id.per lb. The market was well supplied and
closed heavily, with prices of American id. per lb. lower.
—Railway Shares were steady.
The Colonial Markets have been very steady for
Sugar, and Coffee has been firmer. Rice is held for full
prices, but with less inclination to buy.
The following is an extract from " Instructions to
Shipping Masters," issued by the Lords of the Commit-
tee of Privy Council for Trade, dated March 8, 1851:
" Reduction of fees on short voyages—For the pur-
pose of reducing the fees payable by masters and owners
of ships which make short and frequent voyages, and
the deductions to be made from the wages of crews on
account of such voyages, the Lords of the Committee of
Privy Council for Trade have been pleased to direct
that the fees payable upon the engagement and dis-
charge of crews, under Schedule B of the Mercantile
Marine Act, shall not be paid more than twice in one
year, in respect of the same ship ; so that, after
making the ordinary payments on two voyages,
any further engagement or discharge of the
crew may be effected without further payment. The
year for the above purpose is to be taken as com-
mencing on the Ist January, and ending on the 31st
December. The above arrangement will of course have
the effect of preventing any deduction being made from
the wages of crews, either for entries or discharges, on
more than two voyages in the same ship in ono year.
"Regulation as to fines—ln places in which Forms
U and R are not totally suspended, the shipping master
should not in future issue those forms unless they are
asked for; and in every case in which they are asked
for should make both master and crew understand that

they are entirely optional, and that either some, or all, or
none of the regulations need bo adopted, as the
case may require; and a copy of A or B, as the case may
require, should in all cases be offered to the master, to
be made accessible to the crew, instead of Form U; and,
unless that form be preferred, should bo furnished instead
of that form. In the home trade especially, care should
be taken to explain that these regulations need not be
adopted, a❑d that such only (if any) should be taken as
may be suited to the particular case."
The accounts from the Amsterdam Bourse quote a
firm market for Public Securities. Dutch Two-and-a-
Half per Cents. were 68 3-16.
A slight improvement occurred in the foreign ex-
changes as regards the rates fur bills upon Ilamburgh,
&o. The quotations, at 90 days, were 13 7/ to Am-
sterdam, was steady at 11 17/ to Antwerp advanced
to 25 20 and 25 25. Paris was firm at 25 173. to 25 22i.
Frankfort was a shade lower, being 1188 to 119. Trieste
also was rather worse, viz , 12 36 to 38.
Insurances upon half a million sterling in specie to
arrive from the United States have been effected by
Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co.
The English Stock Market has undergone no varia-
tion. Consols have been 96i for the opening. Ex-
chequer-bills are 435. to 465. premium. India Bonds are
535. to 565. premium. Bank Stock is worth 2124 to 213.
The accounts from Paris are favourable, but this seems
to have no effect on the English Funds.
The Foreign Market has been in a very passive condi-
tion. Spanish Three per Cents. are 408. Mexican
Bonds have been marked 34k, and Peruvian Five per
Cents. 87k, being each flat. Brazilian New Bonds have
been at 87i to 88. Belgian Four per Cents. are at 91i.
Shares are exceedingly bad again, especially Midland,
South-Eastern, Great Western, and North-Western.
French Shares are firm, owing to the advance ,at Paris,
but with very little doing.

FRENCH DITLOMACY.—M. Droubyn Lhuys, late
French Minister at the Court of St. James's, has arrived in
London on a farewell visit. The new French representative
arrives this week. His Excellency will make the sixth French
Minister appointed since the establishment of the Republic,
with charges d'affaires innumerable.
THE PRINCE LEININGEN.—His Serene Highness
is laid up at Clarence House from an attack of measles.
LORD BROUGHAM.—We are happy to state that
this nobleman, who has been seriously indisposed, is much
better.
FRIGHTFUL OCCURRENCE IN PARK•LANE.—Yes-
torday an inquest was taken by Mr. Bedford, the coroner, in
the board-room at St. George's Hospital, as to the death of
Edward Burley Clayton, Esq., who was killed under the
following dreadful circumstances :—Mr. John Duggan Pat-
terson, of No. 186, Piccadilly, stated that on Saturday after-
noon, about half-past seven, he was on horseback, and riding
with a friend, in Dean-street, Park-lane. The deceased,
whom he knew, was also on horseback, and passed them at
a gentle canter, their horses walking. He had got aboutb tent
or twelve yards in front when he arrived at a verya abrupt
corner in Dean-street, where vehicles should certainly
walk round, and met a cab coming in a contrary

as the teacher and cherished him as the friend, he rose above
the fogs and conflicts of a sublunary, into the nobler atmos-
phere of an unfading world. The cause of truth has lost in
him another advocate, religion another eloquent expounder,
and humanity a friend, who loved and worked in its holy
cause. Peace and consolation be with the bereaved ! a
peace as true, a consolation as divine and deep, as the me-
mory of the good departed is sacred and revered."
