IN BE ?OLGLASE.

This bankrupt was described as a millwright, of the
Borough-road, and to-3ay came up fir his certificate.
Mr. Lucas appeared to oppose on several grounds.
Mr. Linklater, for the bankrupt, submitted that this
was a case entirely of unaVoidable loss and misfortune,
arising principally on a loss of 12,0001. on a Govern-
ment contract for shells during the late war. The loss
was alleged to have been occasioned through nn error
on the part of bankrupt's foreman.
His Honour said there was no ground for delaying
the certificate a single day, and granted an immediate
certificate of the first class.

TRIAL OF HORSFALL'S WROUGHT-IRON GUN.—LIVER-
POOL, Wednesday.—A series of experiments have been
made with Messrs. florsfall's monster wrought-iron gun
(weighing 21 tons 17 cwt., and some pounds) this after-
noon on the shore of the estuary of the Mersey, about
nine miles north of Liverpool. Seven charges were
fired ; the first with 10Ib. of powder and blank cartridge ;
the second with 10. b. of powder and a shell 1941 b.
weight, the gun t eing elevated one degree ; the third
with 101 b. powder and shell, elevation four degrees ;
and three other charges with 201 b. powder and shot and
shell, the seventh round being 301 b powder and a shot
2841 b. This was the most successful of the seven ex-
periments ; the gun was elevated 7i- degrees. The first
richochet was at a distance of 2,000 yards, and the
extreme distance obtained was about 21 miles. This,
with only 30Ib. powder—one-third less than the
maximum charge—is extremely good, and leaves no
doubt that a hall 3001 b. weight may be,shot with effect
five miles. • The experiments were under the direction
of Lieutenants Sothern and Welden, of the Royal Lan-
cashire Militia Artillery, assisted by Mr. Clay, manager
for Messrs. Horsfall. There were also present Admiral
Grenfell, of the Brazilian service, Captains Adams and
Midletou, of the Militia Artillery, and a large company,
military and civilians. The experiments are to be con-
tinued to-morrow (Thursday), Friday, and Saturday
The aim is beautifully accurate, the balls and shell fol-
lowing each other in a diract line. Two of them fired
with a 2010. charge were afterwards found within tsic or
seven yards of each other.

PIEDMONT.

The editor of the Espero, convicted of a libel on
the Emperor of Austria, was sentenced to six days'
imprisonment, and a fine of 100 livres. The public
prosecutor had pressed for a month's imprisonment
and 500 f. fine.

The Chamber of Deputies of Turin, in its sitting
of the 17th, commenced the discussion on the
budget of the department of Foreign Affairs. In
the course of the debate Count Cavour said :—" I
will not pretend to say that the work of the Paris
Conference will last perpetually, or that the East-
ern question will not, at some future period, raise
new European difficulties, but we may consider it
solved for some time to come. Our relations with
Spain have increased in importance. The Spanish
Government professes opinions similar to ours, it is
founded on the same principles, and is, to a certain
extent, exposed to the same perils ; it has adver-
saries of the same cast as ours. (Laughter.) We
have, consequently, strengthened our friendship
with Spain. This course I have been further con-
firmed in by the intimacy I contracted at Paris with
the distinguished diplomatist who represents Spain
at that Court. Hence we have sent a man of ;ilk-
rad opinions to the Court of Madrid. Our aini,;ahle
relations with Russia have been re-establi,hed—
witness the visit of Count Stackelberg to Turin.
Should our diplomatic relations not be renew •
with Austria, I would recommend that we should
send an envoy to Frankfort, in order to keep up
our friendly intercourse with the secondary States
of Germany, and keep us informed of political
events. To show the opinion that is entertained of
our country in Europe, I may state that the Nethe-
rlands have now considered it necessary to send
different representatives to Rome and Turin, in-
stead of uniting the two missions in one person."

made with Messrs. Horsfall's monster wrought-iron gun
(Neighing 21 tons 17 cwt., and some pounds) this after-

rine miles north of Liverpool. Seven charges were
fired ; the first with 101 b. of powder and blank cartridge ;

with 101 b. powder and shell, elevation four degrees ;
and three other charges with 20Ib. powder and shot and

SOOIETY OF FRIENDS OF FOREIGNBRS.
IN DISTRESS.

The juiblee festival of this society was held last night
at the London Tavern ; E,ral GRANVILLE in the chair.
There were about a hundred and fifty other gentlemen
present,
After the usual toasts,
. .

• The CnaiumaN proposed the "Allied Armies and
Navies ;" and as there was no one present who was
directly • connected with either service, he begged to
couple with the toast the name of a gentleman who bad
at least many thousand men under his command, and
who knew sernething shout earthworks—he meant Sir
Charles Fox. (Cheers.)
Sir C. Fox expressed the• embarrassment he felt at
finding himself placed in so very unexpected a situa.
tine. He had heard many foreigners of different nations
express their opinion of British soldiers and sailors, and
they all said that there were no such troops and sailors
in the world. Not long ago he heard _the secretary to
the French Minhter of War say that the manner in
which, the Englisii army had repulsed the attack at In-
kermann was the most wonderful thing in .the annals
of war. (Cheers.) He (Sir C. Fox) had many oppor-
tunities of speaking with the Emperorof the French, and
he could assure the meeting that his Majesty regarded
the alliance with this country as of the utmost import-
ance. He had often heard it asked whether the
'Emperor was sincere in his desire 'to continue the con-
nexion between the two nations ? He (Sir Charles Fox)
'had put tt-e question to him, and his Majesty told him
that the alliance was not only the right thing,- but that
it was to the intere-t of both countries that tlaefrienilly
relations which had happily sprung up between them

a ruler of France who possessed such political infor-

runity of studying the constitutions not only of'F?ance,
but of England and America, and he must be can
vinced that ihe English Alliance would be advantageous
not only to both countries, but to his own interests.-

TOTAL Loss OF THE CUTTER YACHT SECRET.—This
very fast and beautiful yacht left Erith early on Satur-
day morning for P;yrnouth, having on board her owner,
Mr. H. J. g, and a crew of six men. After Failing
the match in the Thames she proceeded as far as the
Gull stream, under all storm sails, it then blowing a
gale from the south-west. She was seen off the Nortli
Foreland about 5 o'clock on Saturday evening, very
close to a lar:e steamer ; she WEI, 3 seen only a few mi-
nutes after c(iLh her bowsprit gone, and then founder, d
with all hands. It is supposed that, in trying t ) speak
the steamer she must have fouled.

During the past fortnight agents from Russia have
vi-ited the Tyne, with the view of purchasing tug steam-
ers to be employed at Cronstadt and in the Baltic. Eight
steam vessels have been disposed of by the Tvne owners
for the purpose and the Royal Albert, the Wallace, a e
Powerful, the Volga, and the Alexander have sailed.
The North of Europe Company are also building iron
vessels of a light draught of water upon the Tyne for
the Baltic trade. They will be propelled by high-pres
sure engines, and will be fitted up with Beattie's patent
propeller. These vessels are built with the view of na-
vigating shallow water. During the past few days a
very large number of foreign vessels have reached the
Tyne from various parts of the Baltic. A consideraVe
Lumber of large American vessels are in the Tyne at the
preeent moment taking in coals.

INDIAN BUDGET.

In reply to a question,
Mr. V. SMITH said he should bring on the India'
budget as soon as he coul I get a day. (Laughter.)
THE AMNESTY.

Mr. PELLA.TT asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department, that as there were above a thou-
sand persons in England and Wales lying in prison for
debt, 240 of which were under 6t (debt and costs), who
might be restored to their families and occupations fol
the sum of 1,5001., and as there were a few confined for
protracted periods, extending to 40 years, whether tin-
G-lvernrnent would rcommend them to her Majesty,
and debtors under 10/. to be included in the commemo-
rative Peace Amnesty, so graciously extended to Frost,
Williams, and Jones, and Other political offenders ?
(Laughter.)

,
Sir G. GREY said there was a greater difference be-
tween criminal prisoners and those confined for debt
than the hon. gentleman appeared to think. The
Crown bad the power to exercise its prerogative of
mercy in the case of criminal offenders, but,
it could not in the case of debtors, except
at the expense of the creditors. There were no persons
now confined for debt for the small amounts named by
she 'non. member except those who had refused to com-
ply with the provi,tons of the law for the recovery of
-4 mall debts.

AQUATICS.

(This Day.)
(BY PIGEON EXPRESS.)

Great SeaHers' Race for 200 Sovereigns,
between H. Kelly, of Fulham, and J.
Mackinney, of Richmond.
...

This exciting match, which. for the last three
months has created the greatest interest in aquatic
circles, took place this afternoon over the usual
course, from Putney to Mortlake, and was attended
by an immense number of spectators. No fewer
than eight steam-boats were chartered to accompany
the race, and all were well patronised ; the towing-
path along the bank, Hammersmith-bridge, and
every point where a view of the race could be ob-
tained were also crowded.

The weather, although showery and dull in the
early part of the day, cleared up beautifully about
half-an-hour before the time of starting.
The preliminaries havitg been arranged, the
umpires and referee were chosen—Mr. J. Salter
for Kelly, Mr. Jackson for Mackinney, and Mr.
Edward Searle referee.

The toss for choice of stations having been won
by Kelly, at four o'clock the men appeared,
each looking in first-rate condition and full of con-
fidence. A. considerable amount of betting took
place at 5 to 4 on Kelly.
The signal having been given, a very even start
was effected, and each matt exerted himself to
the utmost to obtain the lead. Off Searle's Kelly
had succeeded in getting a lead of about half a
boat's length. On reaching Craven Cottage he had
increased his lead to two lengths, and at the Crab
Tree to three lengths ; and on passing Hammer-
smith-bridge be was leading by six lengths—Kelly
ultimately winning easily by twenty boats' length,
doing the distance in 23 minutes 35 seconds.

The time from Putney to Hammersmith Bridge
was N min. ; to Barnes Bridge—Kelly 21i- min.,
Mackinney 221 min.
The victor was loudly applauded by the nume-
rous spectators aasembled at Mortlake.
The arrangements on board the steamers, under
the management of Mr. Searle, the celebrated
boat builder, were admirably conducted.

CORRUPT PRACTICES PREVENTION ACT.

Sir F. KELLY asked the First Lord of the Treasury
the intentions of her Majesty's Government as to the
Corrupt Practices Preve,tion Act, 1854 ?
Lord PALMERSTON said it was the intention of
the Government to props the continuance of the act
for a limited period.

SPAIN.

A telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated yes-
terday, announces that the democratic party in the
Cortes proposed a vote of censure on the G .vern-
meat for their conduct in the disturbances of Valen-
cia. The motion was supported by M. Figueras.
M. Joseph Olozaga (brother of the Ambassador in
Paris) availed himself of a personal allusion to make
some few but eloquent observations in defence of
the Progresista party and of the union of the two
Marshals, Espartero and O'Donnell. General
Zabala &fended his conduct in Valencia in a man-
ner to exc. e the warmest approbation of the housr.
General Espartero declared that General Zabal
had only executed the measures agreed on by the
Council of Ministers, and that the entire Cabinet
was satisfied with his conduct. Finally, the pro-
position of the vote of censure was rejected by a
majority of 175 to 18.
