THE SHIPPING INTEREST.

Mr. LINDSAY moved for a select committee to inquire
into the operation of the burdens and restrictions especially
affecting merchant shipping, and of the following statutes :
9 and ,10 Vic., e. 93, an Act for compensating the families
of Persons killed by Accidents ; 'the Merchant Shipping
Act (1854); the Merchant Shipping Amendment
Act (1855) ; the Passenger. Act (1855) ; and the
Chinese Passenger Act (1855). The honourable
member said that no benefit had resulted from
previous committees 'on this subject, and that any future
committee, in order to be efficient, should inquire into the
state of British shipping, and into the causes which led to
that depression under which, he was sorry to say the ship-
ping interest in this country was at present labour-
ing. He believed it would be ' found that
that depression arose in a great measure from the same
cause that affected other interests--namely, the want of pro-
per protection. While this country had thrown open its ports
to French shipping, which wore admitted without restrictive
duos since 1850, the very opposite course had been
adopted in that country. In the case of sugar, tea, tobacco,
and other articles, the differential duties in France amounted
nearly to double in favour of the goods introduced in
French as compared with English bottoms. There
was also charged in that country no less than
2} francs per ton charged on every English vessel entering
French ports. He 'considered that the shipping interest
had not received that atteni ion from successive Go-
vernments to which, from its great importance, it was
entitled. (Hear, hear.) Again, they had thrown open
the coasting trade to America, but they had not received
any corresponding benefit by the opening to us of
their vast coasting trade. Ho referred in detail
to the want of reciprocity exhibited in regard
to shipping, and strongly argued against the continuance of
the duty on timber. That duty realised £OOO,OOO, and the
Chancellor of the Exchequer might say on Monday evening
that he could not afford to dispense with that amount
of revenue; but he would ask the house, was it just that
the raw material should be taxed when ships, the manu-
factured article, were admitted into our ports without duty?
He complained of legislative enactments in regard to
and referred to the Accidents Act of -Lord Camp-
shipping,
boll. That measure lie uudorotood was originally intended
Quay to apply to carrier, by land, but it had been applied to
carriage by sea. That was most unjust, because in the
former the owner could control accidents to a considerable
extent, but in the latter the shipowner had no such power,
for he could not use the same measures of prevention
that the former possessed. The effect was that the car-
riage of emigrants to the United States was
throw; into the h,alts Of, these 'competitors, for no British

Cure of Strictures of the Urethra.

" This work is the production of a surgeon whose special
attention has been directed, through a long professional life,
to the treatment a strictures _or the urethra. The eases.
which Mr. Conrteitay has given supptlf ample evidence of his.
great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the various.
kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which

ilicir management is founded. By his systematic management
an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is
attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can
most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable
contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and
ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject
to stricture."—Medical Circular, Dec. Ist, 1858.

MR: DRUMMOND HAY.

Mr. MAGUIRE gave notice that, on the motion for the

THE BRIBERY AND CORRUPTION AT
GLOUCESTER AND WAKEFIELD.
Mr. HADFIELD asked the Chancellor of the Exche •
quer whether any engagement had been entered into by the
Government, or on their behalf, or by the Commissioners,
for investigating the cases of bribery and corruption at
Gloucester and Wakefield, or either of them, whereby the
parties who had given or received bribes were to be indem-
nified, or were not to be proceeded against for any illegal
ransactions in those boroughs at the last or any other elec-
ions.
Sir G. LEWIS explained that in the case of Gloucester
no certificates were granted by the commissioners at the
time of the inquiry to the persons alluded to, but they had
been since granted to no less than 500 persons. In three
eases only they had not been applied for. As regarded
Wakefield certificates had been granted in 140 cases, and
refused in 38, _ . _

GUATEMALA.

In reply to a question,
Lord J. RUSSELL said that it was necessary that the
country of Honduras should be correctly defined, and a sur-
vey had been authorised, as well as the construction of the
road in question. The expense, though at present borne by
this country, would ultimately be defrayed by the republic
of Guatemala.
INVESTMENTS IN EAST INDIA STOCK.
Mr. A. MILLS asked the Attorney-General whether any
measure would be introduced in the present session to
amend so much of the act 22 and 23 Vict. 35, as related to
investments by trustees in East India Stock
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the act in
question had become a dead letter, but that a measure on
the subject would be introduced by Lord St. Leonards.

quiries by this house. The committee on contracts, for
example, which sat in the years '55, '57, and '5B, was ap-
pointed, not as a committee for criminatory charge, not-
withstanding which, in the investigation of a great num-
ber of proceedings of this nature, they found it necessary
to express opinions in the nature both of praise and blame
with reference to the conduct of those concerned in the
making of those contracts. (Hear.) A great and natural
desire has been expressed by members of the committee
that the sense of the house ishoull be expressed as to whe-
ther they have exceeded their jurisdiction. Now, sir, hav-
ing listened attentively, and I hope calmly and impartially,
to this debate, I must, say that I collect tlui sense of the
house to be that the committee did not exceed the jurisdic-
tion given to them, and that they could not but pronounce
a sentence of blame or praise upon. the framing of the con-
tracts whieh they were appointed to examine, wheat such
an expression of opinion appeared to them to be calle4 for.
(Hear, hear.) But it is of course, my duty to remind the
hon. baronet that if in his opinion the committee have ex-
ceeded the bound assigned to them, and that for the futuce
they will require to be limited in their proceedings other-
wise than by the discretion of the members, it rests with
him to move an amendment in words, orin some other man-
ner to obtain an expression of the positive opinion of the
house; and I have no doubt that any opinion which may
be expressed by the house will receive attention at the
hands of the committee. (Hear, hear.)Sir H. WILLOUGHBY ask-ed if the house were again.
going to inflict upon 19 gentlemen the necessity of hearing-
a mass of evidence, altogether losing sight of the great
question, what was the best public policy in managing these
contracts ? The right hon. 'gentleman would do well to
consider whether it would not be best to limit the question
to the public policy. If it were proper to bring personal
charges of corruption lot them be treated separately. The
report omitted 300 questions and answers, and. they con-
tained very important evidence.
Mr. G. W., HOPE explained that the evidence of Mr.
Wilson and Mr. Rose, which was taken on the last day, it
was agreed should be omitted, because it opened a fresh
subject.

The motion was then agreed to.

ROBBERY PROM THE PERSON

Thomas Jones, a lad 15 years of age, was indicted for
stealing a goldpin from the person of ➢Z. Rickwood.
The evidence was extremely clear and proved the pri-
soner to be an adept in " the profession."
The jury found him guilty.
The Recorder in sentencing the prisoner said, it appeared
from the evidence of the policeman, that he had obtained
some standing amongst his associates, as they
called him " captain." It would be for the good of
the public if he was romoved, at all events, for some period
' from them, and, under such circumstances, he should sen-
tence him to three years' penal servitude.

ASTLEY'S AMPIIITIIEATRE.

Mr. Cooke's farewell benefit last night attracted
an enormous audience, by whom the retiring
manager was received with enthusiastic applause.
The entertainments commenced with the last
act of the tragedy of " Richard the Third," which
some short time since was produced here, and was
received with such rapturous approbation that it
had the unprecedented run of 94 consecutive nights,
and concluded with the celebrated " Scenes in
the Circle," during which Mr. William Cooke then
entered the ring mounted on his beautiful black
steed, and went through some movements of the
Flaute Ecole, in which he showed the wonderful
control he had over the noble animal which he
rode. In acknowledgment of the enthusiastio re-
ception given to him, and the patronage bestowed
upon him, he made the following brief address :--
" Ladies and Gentlemen,—Allow me to return
you my sincere thanks for the kind and liberal pa-
tronage which you have displayed towards me this
evening." (Applause.)
The pantomime of " Harlequin Tom Moody"
closed tho entertainments, amidst the hearty
laughter of the youthful members of the audience.

CEYLON.—An unusually rainy December had
caused much anxiety to the coffee curers of Colombo, who
received the berries in a wet state from the interior, and
found it a most difficult task to dry them. The shipments
of coffee had, nevertheless, been by no means inconsiderable.
The sittings of the Legislative Council had closed, and the
Governor had quitted Colombo for the cool regions of the
interior.—Boineward hail._ _

THE-EAST.

The BISHOP of LONDON asked whether any steps
had been taken for preserving the peace in the parish of
St. George's-in-the-East. His attenlion had been
called to the disgraceful scenes that were taking
place in the parish church. It was impossible the clergy
could do anything in the matter themselves till quiet was
restored. Concessions that might be right could not be
made to violence ; and it was gratifying to know that
the police had orders to prevent, as far as possible
any disturbance. He would Rot express any opinion upolii
the original cause of quarrel, but he thought it strange that
disturbances were allowed to take place in a parish church
which would not be allowed in any other building. Various
modes had been thought of to prevent the unseemly scenes
taking place, one of which was to exclude all but parish-
ioners entering the building, but that had been
found to be impracticable. He therefore would
feel great pleasure in hearing that strict orders
had been given to the police to interfere vigorously
for the future in quelling any other disturbances that might
occur.

Earl GRANVILLE said he could not answer the question
of the right rev. prelate, as the police report of the disturbances
had not yet been received at the Home-office, and all the
information at present possessed was gathered from the
morning papers. With respect to the law there was some
difficulty ; but there could be no doubt that it was the duty
of the authorities to prevent a recurrence of proceedings
such as those which took place last night.
CHURCH RATES.

Viscount DUNGANNON presented a petition, of which
he had given notice, on the subject of church-rates, from
the clergy and laity of Wrexham, praying that they should
not be abolished without an equivalent.
The Duke of MARLBOROUGH moved the re-appoint-
ment of the committee which sat last year to inquire into
the operation of church-rates.
The committee was then re-appointed.
REAL PROPERTY.
Lord BROUGHAM postponed until to-morrow the pre-
sentation of certain petitions on this subject.
Their lordships then adjourned.

A DELPHI THEATRE.

" Paper Wings," the new comedy produced on
Monday last, has proved highly attractive. Since
the first night of its representation several trifling
alterations have been made, and the success, which
was indisputable on Monday evening, is now greatly
heightened. Mr. Wigan's Sir Arthur Plinlimmon
is truly a great performance ; and, admirable as we
thought him in his celebrated part of John Mild-
may in " Still Waters Run Deep," his present em-
bodiment of the straightforward Welsh baronet far
surpasses it. In the latter part of the comedy,
where the anxiety of over •speculation becomes ap-
parent, Mr. Wigan's acting was unsurpassable, and
the interest produced on the audience was in-
tense. Mrs. Wigan is also admirably fitted
with a part, and the author must congratu-
late himself on knowing two such talented
artistes to represent the leading parts in his comedy.
Mr. Toole improves very rapidly in his profession
indeed, we might almost say, nightly. The ap-
plause elicited by his embodiment of William Kite,
the jackall of Garroway, the city man, is perfectly
uproarious. Miss Kate Kelly has a very excellent
part in the piece—a prim, pert waiting-maid, which
she acts to the life ; and Mr. Selby, as Flimsy, the
fashionable flunkey, is irresistibly comic.
The piece has been put on the stage with great
elegance and care ; the two principal scenes—a
drawing-room, elegantly furnished, in Mr. Garro-
way's office at the corner of Capel-court, with the
entrance to the " House," being excellent specimens
of stage illusion, and well merit the applause they
• elicit.

The theatre last evening was again crowded by
a very fashionable audience, who seemed fully to
appreciate the excellent entertainments provided
for them by the indefatigable lessee and manager.

VOL UN TEBR OFFICERS AT COURT.

We cannot impress too earnestly upon Volunteer
officers who intemd to be present at the Court on
Wednesday, the absolute necessity of furnishing
themselves with cards according to regulations;
as, for example—

LANCASHIRE.
No. 3.
1. Company. (Liverpool.)
Thus showing an officer's county, the corps' rank
by number, the number of the company, and the
name of the district. The senior officer of a
corps, or captain of a company, should provide
himself with a card showing the name and num-
ber of his county, the designation of his corps, the
names of the officers, and by whom introduced ;
thus—

Number of county ( )—county.
Designation of corps.
Captains.
Lieutenants.
Ensigns.
Introduced by
Artillery Corps should have the word " Artillery"
clearly written at the top of the card. All officers
whose names have been sent to the War-office can
have proper forms supplied to them by application
to the Lord Chamberlain's-office ; and no time
should be lost in so doing.— Court Jour•nual.

SIR JollN LAWRENCE.—The freedom of the city
of Glasgow is to be conferred on Sir John Lawrence on
Tuesday, the 3d of April.
Mr. Baxter will, on going into committee on Re-
presentation of the People Bill, move an instruction to the
committee having the effect of increasing the proposed
number of members for Scotland.
Tll colnrnittee on RepretAtion of the reffirs7o
Bill, Mr. Edwin James intends to move that the franchise
be extended to the occupiers, upon certain conditions, of
portions of houses as sub-tenants or lodgers ; and also that
the payment of rates on or before a particular day shall no
longer be the condition of registration.

REWARD TO CAPTAIN .212‘0.EINTOCir.

One of the many episodes of last night's proceed-
ings in the House of Commons will give much
satisfaction to the country. In answer to a ques-
tion put by Sir P. Baring, Lord Palmerston pro-
mised to take into consideration the bestowal of a
suitable reward on Sir L. M'Clintock, who dis-
covered the relics of Sir John Franklin's expedi-
tion. The subject of a monument to the unfortu-
nate commander himself was also broached, and
the result will be that the self-sacrifice of Frank-
lin and his gallant companions will be duly com-
memorated in some public place or some sacred
edifice. The justice of thus honouring these brave
dead is, of course, beyond dispute ; and we think
that the proposition respecting a reward to Captain
M'Clintock will receive as ready an assent. It is
the peculiar greatness of this country that its high
achievements are not exclusively due to the im-
pulse of the State. If a Livingstone explores
unknown regions, and raises by his discoveries the
character of a continent, he does it without
Government aid, as the emissary of a private
society, volunteering in the cause of science and
religion. So with Captain M'Clintock. The
Government had refused, and rightly refused, to
send out another expedition to the North Pole.
The certainty of Franklin's death had been esta-
blished, both by the length of time that had
elapsed and by the narratives of the aborigines,
and the Admiralty could not in justice demand of
officers and seamen that they should risk their lives
merely to satisfy the curiosity of the public, though
such curiosity was legitimate, and we all of us feel
gratified at learning at last how the brave explorer
died, and what was the end of his still more
unhappy survivors. So it was a case for private
effort, for the liberality of domestic affection,
for the boldness of individual enterprize. That
Lady Franklin and her friends should send
out the yacht Fox, and that Captain M'Clintock
should take command of the little vessel, and with
a handful of men penetrate into the most desolate
regions on the track of the lost navigators, that he
should do all that he aimed at, and lift, the veil
which covered their fate—that this, one of the most
daring and romantic achievements of our time,
should be performed without the aid of public
Money or Ministerial support, are events charac-
teristic of this country. It is the English way of
doing things, and as long as it is so the energy and
public spirit of the race will survive. But when
the thing is done then comes the graceful function
of the Crown. To recognise by public honours
what has been accomplished by private zeal and
enterprise is a principle sanctioned among us, and
in accordance with which Sir L. M'Clintock will
eeeive his well-deserved reward,—Tinges.
London, England, 1860-03-03

CAPTAIN MTLINTOCN.

Sir F. BARING asked the first lord of the Treasury
what were the intentions of the Government with rgard to
any reward to Captain M'Clintock and the crew of the dis-
covery ship, Fox? The right hon. baronet said that the
question had not been suggested to him by Captain M'Clin-
took, or any of those gallant officers. He could eatisfy the
house that the last thing which these distinguished men
oxpected would be any pecuniary reward for the great ser-
vices they had rendered. With regard to the expedition
itself there was no one in the kiugdom, frem the Queen to
the most humble of her subjects,. who did not feel an in-
terest in the results. He believed that this expedition, was
on every ground entitled to the favourable consideration of
the country. He did not think that every person bad a

A decree has been published convoking the Tuscan
people for the 11th and 12th March, in order to

following proposals :

nAnnexation to Sardinia, or a separate kingdom.

MARSEILLES, MARCH 2.

Letters received from Rome confirm that the
communication presented by the almoner of Victor
Emmanuel to the Pope announced to his Holiness
that the King of Sardinia would perhaps be under
the necessity of occupying the Umbrian Marches,
the population of which do not cease to demand the
annexation. of their country to Piedmont. The
Pope replied immediately, expressing his surprise
and grief, and threatening the King of Sardinia
with excommunication.

Eight students of the University of Rome have
been expelled, and the Prelate Rector has been
dismissed. Another disturbance has taken place
among the students.
The Government •is occupied with the loan. A
mixed commission has been appointed to report

nies, and hopes are entertained of a speedy settle-
ment of the question.
The Monitore of Bologna states that the electors
persist in demanding annexation.

VIENNA, MARCH 2.

A report is current that the organisation of the
Imperial Council on a wider basis has received the

place, to deliberate on the budget, to examine pro-
jects of law, and to receive memorials and petitions
of the deputations of the country.
