THE PENINSULAR MAILS.

- SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 4.
By the Peninsularand Oriental Company's steam-
ship Madrid, Capt: Bradshaw, with the Peninsular
mails, in charge of Lieut. Irwin, R.N., Admiralty
agent, we have dates from Gibraltar, April 23 ;
Cadiz, 24 ; Lisbon, 29 ; Oporto 30 ; Vigo, May 1.
The Madrid brings 25 passengers, and on freight
16 packages of species, valued at 4,7321., and a
cargo consisting of 436 boxes of oranges, 45 boxes
of potatoes, 3 casks and 3 cases of wine, 12 casks
and 136 hoies of dates, and 11 packages of general
merchandise.

During the homeward voyage the Madrid expe-
rienced westerly and north and south-westerly
winds to Vigo, with thick, rainy weather ; from
Vigo strong easterly winds and clear. She spoke,
on the 24th ult., the schooner Monarch ; May 2,
in lat. 45.48 north, long 7.47 west, exchanged
colours with the barque Truro, steering north-east.
The Madrid left at Lisbon, on the 28th ult., the
Greek war steamer Reino de Grece. The steam-
yacht New Quarterly, H. Last, had put into the
Tagus from stress of weather on the 26th.

The Liverpool screw-steamer Minho had not ar-
rived at Lisbon when .the Madrid sailed. Great
anxiety was felt at that port for her safety. A
steam-vessel under canvass was passed by the
Madrid shortly after leaving Lisbon, and appeared
to be either the missing ship or the steamer Rat-
tler, belonging to the same company. She was
under canvas only.
The exchanges, this packet, for bills at three
months are quoted :—London, 54i to 541 ; Paris,
520 to 518 ; Amsterdam, 43i ; Hamburg, 49g ;
and Genoa, 17. On London paper was scarce at
541, at which rate there was money over ; on Paris
money was scarce ; on Hamburg a little was done,
while the rest were nominal.

Portuguese Three per Cent. Stocks, 43 to 43k,
with a-demand at the lower rate ; Bank of Portugal
shares, 500 to 502 milreis ; Bank of Oporto shares,
236 to 240 milreis,

MASTER OF THE HORSE'S OFFICE, JULY 1.
The Queen has been graciously pleased to appoint the
Honourable William-Mick O'Connor Cuffe (commonly
called Viscount Castle-Cuffe), to be Page of Honour to
her Majesty, vice Cameron.
BOARD OF TRADE, WHITEHALL, JULY 8.

The Right Hon. the Lords of the Committee of Privy
Council for Trade and Plantations have received, through
the Secretary of State for. Foreign Affairs, a copy of a de-
spatch from her Majesty's Consul at Malaga, reporting that
a quarantine of three days will be imposed on all vessels
arriving at that port from Gibraltar, Marseilles, and
Genoa.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from
prisoners in the Queen's Bench for debt and contempt
of court, praying that the funds in the hands of a charity
entitled the Prison Debtors' Discharge Society, be applied
to the purposes for which that fund was originally in-
tended. The noble earl proceeded to quote certain cases
of hardships connected with our law of imprisonment for
debt, one of which was that of a Frenchman who died in
prison after an incarceration of 44 years for contempt.
It appeared that this French man had been in early life a
merchant in London, and that in his absence a rival
trader had succeeded in getting him declared a bankrupt.
Upon. the Frenchman's return he was highly, indignant
at finding himself thus treated, with the consciousness
of bis being able to pay his debtors 20s. in the pound.
He wan called upon to show his books, but not having
kept any he was.committed fur contempt, And there -re-
mained until the day of his death. Now such a case as
that he thought demanded a remedy.
Lord CAMPBELL said no doubt there might be many
cases of apparently great hardship ; but after all the
remedy rested with the parties themselves. They could
relieve themselves from the imprisonment by having re-
course to the proper tribunal, which was empowered to
diacharge such parties upon the performance of certain
conditions. As to the case of the Frenchman, he thought
there must have been some gross exaggeration in the
statement.

IMPRISONMENT FOR DEBT.

The Earl of ALBEMARLE presented a petition from
prisoners in the Queen's Bench for debt and contempt
of court, praying that the funds in the hands of a charity
entitled:the Prison Debtors' Discharge Society,he applied
to the purposes for which that fund was originally in-
tended. The noble earl proceeded to quote certain cases
of hardships connected with our law of imprisonment for
debt, one of which was that of a Frenchman who died in
prison after an incarceration of 44 years far contempt.
It appeared that this Frenchman had been in early life a
merchant in London, and that in his absence a rival
trader bad succeeded in getting him declared a bankrupt.
Upon the Frenchman's return he was highly indignant
at finding himself thus treated, with the consciousness
of his being able to pay his debtors 20s. in the pound.
He was called upon to show his books, but not having
kept any he was committed fur contempt, and there re-
mained until the day of his death. Now such a case as
that he thought demanded a remedy.
Lord CAMPBELL said no doubt there might be many
cases of apparently great hardship ; but after all the
remedy rested with the parties themselves. They could
relieve themselves from the imprisonment by having re-
course to the proper tribunal, which was empowered to
discharge such parties upon the performance of certain
conditions. As to the case of the Frenchman, he thought
there must have been some gross exaggeration in the
statement.
London, England, 1856-07-08

MR. JAMES SADLEIR.

Mr. MOORE asked the Attorney-General for Ireland
whether it was true that Mr. James Sadleir had been
permitted to leave Ireland without having been arrested ;
and whether any steps had been taken for the arrest and
prosecution of the said James Sadleir by her Majesty's
Government ?

The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said
he had spoken fully upon this subject on a previous
occasion. The hon. gentleman then pr Iceeded to allude
to the observations made by the Master of the Rolls in
Ireland respecting steps not being taken against
certain parties as participators in the frauds committed
by Mr. (Tolin-Salleir. In consequence of those obser
vations he had been to Ireland, and there he could snd
'nothing to assist him in his endaavonrs to carry out a
prosecution. The most active steps bad been' taken both
iu this country and in Ireland for the apprehension of
Mr. James Sadleir. With respect to the latter part of
the question he begged to say that if it was intended to
convey an idea that the Government had permitted Jas.
Sadleir to escape, that he would simply say wasnotafact.
Warrants had been issued for the apprehension of Sad-
leir, and most active steps were at the present- moment
being taken to prevent his eluding justice.

LIAMENT.

Lord R. GROSVENOR, amidst much ,laughter,
asked the Chief Commissioner of Works, whether it
was too late to substitute a, weathercock for the devizti
now placed on the summit of the Clock Tower, and
complained that the only weathercock in the neighbour-
hood was tbat at St. James's. Palace I
Sir B. HALL said that in coining down to the house

he saw plenty of weathercocks—(laughter)--an,l he had
no doubt the noble lord etiutd-find many weathercocks
on both sides of the house. (Renewed laughter.)
Mr. PULMAN. the Dvuty Usher of the Black Rod,

BEDFORD CHARITY.
Mr. WHITBREAD presented a petition from the
trustees of the Bedford Charity, under _their coannon
seal, complaining of the very heavy charges entailed
upon their charity funds, owing to the unnecessary pro-
moting of, two bills in Parliament which 'were never
passed into law by the Attorney General.
The petition was read at length at the table.
The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said in explanation
that the bills alluded to were not actually brought in by
himself, but by the trustees of the charity, and were read
a second time. On the recommendation of Sir Page
Wood the bills were withdrawn, iu consequence of a
compromise. All he had done in the matter was to
carry out the orders of the Court of Chancery.
Sir J. DUKE, in the absence of the Hon. Stuart
Wortley, begged to ask the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether the G ,vernment would as-
sist the Corporation of the City of London in passing e
bill, during the present session, to extend the right of
voting its the election of aldermen and members of the
Common Council to all occupiers within the city who
were on the Parliamentary register ?
Sir G. GREY said he had received a copy of the bill,
but as it was limited in its operation it would have to be
introduced and proceeded with as a private bill. The
standing orders of the house would prevent such a course
at this late period of the session, but if the difficulty
with respect to- these orders were surmounted he shauld
have no otjection to the laying the bill on the table, but
he should object to proceeding with the measure at this
late period of the ses4on.

RAILWAY MEETINGS.

The half-yearly meetings of all the principal railway
companies may now be considered to have terminated,
and those held during the past week have been of secon
dary importance. The dividend recommended in the re-
port of the Great Western of Canada is at the rate of 8
per cent. per annum, which will absorb 109,2481, and
leave 8,0551. to be carried forward. The severity of the
winter is stated to have had the effect of limiting the traffic
in the early part of the year, and of increasing the work-
ing expenses, especially the maintenance by way. By
limiting the capital expenditure, supporting friendly
re-
lations with neighbouring railways, and adopting strict
economy, the directors still believe that the line will in-
crease in prosperity and value. The inhabitants of
Faversham have passed resolutions in favour of the pro-
posed line froto Faversham to Herne Bay. It is the ught
that this project will be of great advantage to the East
Kent Company, which is expected to be opened in about
12 months. A preliminary report on the line from Dart-
mouth to Torquay has been received by the shareholders
and others interestea as favourable. The director 4 of
the Tralee and Killarney Company express a belief that
they will shortly be in possession of the land required for
the railway, and that every endeavour will be made to
expedite the construction of the works. At the meeting
of the Dublin and Kingstown Railway the dividend de-
clared was 4 per cent. for the half-year, free of income
tax, leaving a balance of 7181. to be carried forward.
The arrangements with the Wicklow Company having
been carried our, the rent payable will secure the share-
holders in the Kingstown Company 8 per cent. per
annum, and if the receipts exceed 55,0001. a year 30
per cent. of the surplus is further available. A special
meeting is to be called, for the purpose of considering
the propriety of making some compensation to Mr. J.
Pim for his outlay and services to the Kingstown Com-
pany. It 18 expected that the first section of the Per-
nambuco Railway will be ready for traffic by next
Midsummer. At the date of the last advices upwards
of nine miles were ready for the permanent way. La-
bour is found to be abundant, and the general condition
of the men employed upon the works is healthy. The
progress of the works and the contracts enable the
d'rectorr to repeat with confidence that the capital of
1,200,0001., to which the guarantee of 7 per cent. ex-
tends, will prove abundantly sufficient for the comple-
tion of the railway. The inhabitants of Huddersfield
have passed resolutions in favour of a project for making
a line from that town to the Barnsley collieries.

TATTERSALL'S, SATURDAY.

The room, which was opened for comparing upon the
all-important event of the Second October Meeting, the
Cesarewitch Stakes, was well attended, but speculation
was not remarkably brisk. The principal movement was
the elevation of Malacca to the premiership, who at 9 to
1 received considerable support ; a point less was all
that was obtainable about him at the close. Pole Star
and Fulbeck kept pretty closely together after the ad-
vancement of Malacca, although the mare had a slight
call at the finish. Middleton, who was reported to have
met with an accident in the stable, and who was in con-
sequence driven out of the market in " city circles " on
Friday, was once backed at 25 to 1, which was the
highest offer we heard against him. Both Barfieur and
December were in some demand.

The transactions on the Cambridgeshire were very
limited. Lance, the sometime favourite, was quite friend•
less ; 20 to 1 was currently offered against him.
