MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti-
mated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were
taken for export. The market was well supplied, and
closed heavily.—ln Railway Shares only a limited busi-
ness was done at lower prices.
The new Act to amend the Passengers Act of 1849,
extends the power of the Colonial Land and Emigra-
tion Commissioners so as to enable them to fix
different lengths of voyage for steam and sailing
vessels, according as they may think reasonable. Power is
likewise given to substitute different dietary, and to give
authority to the master of the ship for that purpose.
Passenger ships putting into a port damaged are not to
proceed without a certificate of fitness. Poii ers are also
given to a greater extent to the Governors of the
colonies, and the Governor-General of India, to declare
the rule of computation of the length of any voyaga,
and to substitute different articles of food to those
named in the Act. Perhaps the most important clause
in the Act is that which requires a bond to be given by
masters of British and foreign passenger ships going to
any of our possessions with emigrants, for the latter,
without some proviso of this kind, would be diffi-
cult to punish, being protected by their flag.
I
t would be well indeed if we could secure
some more efficient control over ships taking emigrants
to foreign parts as well as our own colonies—the United
States, for example—and if the Government of that
republic would co-operate, this could easily be
done. Recent examples have shown that even
on board certain of the American liners from
Liverpool to New York there has been maltreat•
ment and violation of engagements entered into.
In the case of ships proceeding to our own colonies end
giving a bond, we can of course act differently, and the
new measure provides that "before any passenger ship
shall clear out or proceed on any voyage to which the
said Act shall extend, tho owner or charterer, or, in
the event of the absence of such owner or charterer, one
good and sufficient person on his behalf, to be ap-
proved by the chief officer of Customs at the port
of clearance, shall, with the master of the said ship, in
lieu of the bond required by the forty-third section of
the said Act, enter into a joint and several bond, in the
sum of one thousand pounds, to her Majesty, her heirs
and successors, according to the form contained
in schedule (A) hereto annexed, the condition
of which bond shall be, that the said ship is
in all respects seaworthy, and that all and every
the requirements of the said Act and of
this Act, and of the said Commissioners acting in the
manner prescribed by the said Act, and of any order
which may at the date of such bond have been passed
by her Majesty in Council in virtue of the said Act,
shall in all respects be well and truly fulfilled and per-
formed, and, in the case of any foreign passenger ship
shall proceed to any of her Majesty's possessions abroad,
that the master thereof shall submit himself in
like manner as a British subject, being the
master of a British passenger ship, to the
jurisdiction of such courts and magistrates
in her Majesty's possessions abroad as are by the said
Act empowered to adjudicate on offences committed
against the said Act, aud, moreover, that the master,
whether of a British or foreign passenger ship, shall
well and truly pay all penalties, fines, aud forfeitures
which be may be adjudged to pay, either in the United
Kingdom or by any such tribunal abroad, for or in re-
spect of the breach or non-performance of any of the re-
quirements of the said Act, provided always that such
bond shall not be liable to stamp duty, and shall be exe-
cuted in duplicate."
A counterpart of the bond is to be certified and sent
to the colony to which the ship is bound, and is to be
received in evidence without further proof of execution,
because such a course would inevitably lead to delay,
and a reference home. and possibly to the defeat of justice.
The Amsterdam Stock Market on the 24th inst. was
without change. In Russian, Austrian, and Mexican
Stocks not much was done.

The English Stock Market is firmer, but there has
not been a largo amount of business doing. The ad-
vices from Paris still d Nell upon the revision of the Con-
stitution; but it is as difficult as ever to form an opinion
as to the r-siult. Consols havo been at an advance of
viz., to Oei to 31. The Now Three-and-a• Quarter per
Cents. have been marked 981 -g- ; and the Three
per Cents. 97i to e. Bank Stock has been steady at
2121. The premium on Exchequer-bills continues at
435. to 465.

Consols now are 961 Owing to the receipt of higher
prices from Madrid, Spanish Bonds have improved. The
Five per Cents. have been 201 If, and the Passive sj-- to

New Bonds have been 864 to 88. Russian Five per

Belgian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 928 to 938; Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 601 to 1; era Dantah Five
per Cents , 104. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been
at 33 to 34.

The arrangements for the csrrying over of shares
and the settlement of to-morrow's account hare been
in progress and have resulted in a further dectine.
The treffic returns continue good, but the speculators
are decidedly against the market, and the paucity of red
investments gives them temporarily much power. This
morning North• Western have been almost as low as
during the worst period of the recent panic. French
Shares are flitter also.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

(THIS DAY.)

HOUSE OF-COMMONS.
The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after Twelve
o'clock.
The Athaw'es Estate Bill, and Christ's Hospital Estate
Bill were read a third time.
Mr. BANKES presented a petition from a person in
Somerseteleiro, complaining of the present mode of levy-
ing the incom e-tax.
ST. ALBA.N'S BRIBERY COMMISSION BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of this Bill,
Mr. FREW EN moved an amendaerpt that the debate
be adjourned.
Mr. BANKES complained that the Government should
proceed with a Bill of this important nature in so thin a
House, there 'teeing no law officer of the Crown present/
only ten mem'aers on the Government side of the Houle,
and about as nsany on the Opposition benches.
Sir GEORGE GREY said the Bill had been twice
before a Coro aatttee of the whole House, and that about
half a dozen d ivisions had already taken place upon it.
After a few words from Mr. ELLICE,
Captain HARRIS was of opinion that the new Mem-
ber who was e lected for St. Albans ought not to bays
taken his seat 7al the House; but he was opposed to OW"
ing in the power of the Committee appointed by one
branch of the Legislature the right to disenfranchise a
large body of el ectors. He considered that a court of law was
the best tribunal for trying questions of bribery and
of punishing p erties who were guilty of it. He should /
however, support the third reading, believing that if the
Bill were r ej( acted an encouragement would be given
to bribery, as this was a case which required inves-
tigation.
Mr. FREW EN slid, looking at the present constitu-
tion of the House, he would withdraw his amendment.
Mr. BANKES stated his objections to the Bill, which
he considered would give power to a private body to con-
duct in an inquisitorial manner an inquiry which ought
to be referrea. to a higher judicial power. Ono of
his great objections to the Bill was that
it could not: possibly pass in another place;
but if it did it would first undergo a much stricter
scrutiny than it had received in this House. If a com-
mission of Members of the House were appointed instead
of a committee of barristers, their powers might be
continued to them after the termination of the session,
and thus the witnesses who were now on the continent,
laughing at the House, and waiting till Parliament rose
before returning to this country, would find themselves
mistaken. He should move that the Bill be read a third
time this day six months.
Mr. HENLEY objected to the inquiry being con-
ducted with closed doors, but more especially to the
breaking doern of the privilege now possessed by profes-
sional men, not to disclose any circumstance which might
betray their clients, who were not protected against any
subsequent proceedings by any provision in the Bill.
He merely made these suggestions to the House, as it
was no use dividing the House, as these twelve o'clock
sittings were nothing more than a registry of the opi-
nions of the Government.

Mr. ELLICE said the provisions of the Bill had been
very carefully considered, and suggested some altera-
tions to meet the objections of the Hon. Member.
Mr. J. STUART said he regretted that a purpose so
laudable as that intended by the Bill was so likely to
be defeated by the little attention which had been paid,
not merely to the provisions of the measure, but to the
ordinary rights and privileges of the subject. The in-
quisitorial powers with which the Commissioners were
to be invested amounted to a direct violation of the
rights of every person who came within the scope of the
Bill. The way in which it had been introduced and
carried through the house actually excluded an inde-
pendent Member from proposing any amendments.
Though there was no prospect of carrying the amend-
ment, he hoped his Hon. Friend would go to a division,
as it would show the country who the Members were
who voted for the passing of such a measure.
The House then divided, when there appeared—

The Bill was then passed.
NEW BILLS.
Mr. BOUVERIE obtained leave to bring in the fol-
lowing Bills:
To mini:we an Act to amend the Laws relating to Loan

Societies. •
To continue an Act for authorising the application of

Highway Rates to Turnpike Roads.
To continue the Exemption of Inhabitants from liability
to be rated as such in respect of Stock in Trade.
For further contieuing certain Temporary Provisions
c,ncerning Ecclesiastical Jurisdiction in England.
The Biil3 were subsequently brought in by the lion.
Member, and read a first time.
The 11. use then adjourned till Five o'clock.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.)
No action was tried i❑ this court duriug the morning
which was of sufficient importance to justify a report.

EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.)
(Sittings in Nisi. Prins at Westminster, before Mr•
Baron MARTIN and a Common Jury.)

KILDAIIL v. THE BARON VON STENTZ.
This action was brought by a proctor in the Ecele-
siasucal Court of Dublin against Baron Von Sten:z, to
recover the sum of 6311., the balance of his taxed bills
of costs for conducting an action brought by the de-
fendant in relation to the will of his mother the Baroness
Von Stentz, an Irish lady.
The defence was that the Baron had been improperly
drawn into the suit, and that having received no benefit
from the servicos of the plaintiff, the sums he had
already received were sufficient to compensate him for
his trouble.
Mr. Baron MARTIN having summed up,
The jury found a verdict for the plaiutiff—Damages,
319/.

SHERIFFS' COURT,—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.)
CREW V. CULLINGFORD.
This was an action to recover camages for rent and
dilapidations.
It appeared that defendant had taken the premixes
10, Eccleston-street, Pimlico, under a lease. The de-
fendant had been in possession for three years and a
painting, &c.,

The condition of the lease was that the house should
be painted in the sixth year.
The defence was that defendant had let the premises
to a third party, who, however, had been compelled to
leave by the plaintiff ; it was, therefore, contended, that
as defendant had not surrendered the lease, he could not
be called upon to paint at the end of three years.
The UNDER-SHERIFF said the defendant had clearly
left the place out of repair, and plaintiff was entitled at
all events to some damages, and there had not been any
evidence to contradict the valuation by

The jury, after a short consultation, gave a
15/. for rent and 15/. for dilapidations.
ROBERTS V. LORRY.
This was an action to recover the sum of 421., for
money paid on behalf of the defendant.
It appeared that the defendant, who is a solicitor, had
induced plaintiff to give a guarantee to prevent defen-
dant from being taken in execution. The debt
not being paid, plaintiff was sued, end was compelled
to pay the cebt and costs, amounting to 37/. 25., and
had also been put to 5/. expense for his own costs in the
The only defence was that plaintiff, having given the
guarantee, was bound to pay without allowing costs to
The UNDER-SHERIFF said that at the defendant had
suffered jndgmant to go by default the objection could
not be i-ustained.
The jury gave a verdict for the full amount.

ONE WAY OF GETTING THROUGH THE EXHIBITION.
—We hardly think it can be true that Sibthorp was in the
car of the balloon which nearly fell through the Crystal
Palace. The thing is so absurd that we can scarcely give it
credence— and yet we have believed many absurd things of
the Colonel in his time. The stupid rumour is. that the Hen.
Member for Lincoln wat anxious to visit the Exhibition un-
observed—and that he had chosen the balloon purposely, in
order to give of i
Lan Au opportunity "dropping in' on the
