in the contract. With respect to the question of sur-
face printing and copperplate printing, that subject had
been investigated by the Treasury, and it was decided,
for the protection of the revenue, to have recourse to
copperplate printing. That decision had been come to
on the advice of scientific persons of great eminence.
He would cause the subject to be investigated, and see
if there were any grounds for the statement of the hon.
member, that the terms of the present contract were ex-
cessive.

Mr. WHITESIDE replied. The trade complained
that the Government had not thrown the contract open
to competition, but had given it to Mr. De la Rue be.
cause he was in some measure connected with persons
holding offices under the Government. He contended
thi4 was a case for further inquiry. (Hear, hear.)
Mr. BELL said no explanation had as yet b.:en given
as to the 8,0001.

After some remarks from Mr. WILSON, which were
unintelligible in the gallery,
The house divided, when the numbers were—
For the motion . . 39
Against it
Majority against the motion —lB
Mr. BROTIIERTON moved the adjournment of the
house, but withdrew it at the request of Sir G. Grey,
to allow certain unopposed returns to be granted with-
out a discussion.

FISHERIES (IRELAND).
Mr. M`MA.LION moved for a select committee to in-
vestigate the operation of the recent statutes relating to
the fisheries of Ireland, and was called to order by Mr.
Brotherton, on the ground that he withdrew his motion
conditionally. The hon. member declined to accede to
the request that he should not press his motion, but he
persisted, on the ground that he was no party to the
arrangement alluded to ; but, before he could make his
motion, the house was counted out, 27 members only
being present.

The house adjourned at five minutes to twelve o'clock.

ARCHES COURT--June 10.

(Before Sir. J. Donsox.)
•
THE KNIGHTSBRIDGE CASE.
Dr. Bayford replied last Monday on behalf of the appel-
lants, Messrs. Wosterton and Beal.
Dr. Phillimore having, with the permission of the
learned judge, made a few observations in reply,
Sir J. Dodson said he would reserve his decision, and was
leaving the court, when the well-known
Captain Ackerley said he had discovered that the learned
judge had a concurrent jurisdiction with the Court of Ad-
miralty, and he had attended to bring beforo him an im-
portant document.

Sir J. Dodson : I have no Admiralty jurisdiction what-
ever.

Captain Ackerley : Pardon me, sir ; James 11. granted
certain rights in America to Prince Rupert, who trans-
ferred them to Prince Eugene. Prince Eugene transferred
them to the Duke of Ormonde, who gave them to the
Archbishop of Canterbury. In proof of that I may point
to that shield which hangs before you, and which contains
the arms of Canterbury and the kedge of the Admiralty.
The meaning of "kedge" was "anchor, I impanel," and
the object of this application is to procure the anchor
which is upstairs, and which is necessary to enable the
Americans to carry out the grand jury system.
Sir J. Dobson : But I have not the custody of the an-
chor to which you refer; and that coat of arms only means
that the Arches Court and the Court of Admiralty are
both hold here.
Captain Ackerley : But I say you have the custody of
the anchor. This man, sir—continued the gallant cap-
tain, putting forward the " Indian_ chief," by whom he is
always attended—is the only person authorised to present
the letter I have mentioned. It contains, you will find,
all the historical information bearing on the subject. I
only address you because this man is not able to speak
English very well.
Tho Indian then laid the letter on the table, and was
immediately patted on the back by his master, who told
him he had "done his duty." The gallant captain then
quitted the court; leaving the spectators not a little as-
tonished at so unusual an interruption of the quiet routine
of " the Commons."

By ker Majesty's Royal Letters Patent for valuable and
extraordinary improvements in the most powerful and
brilliant Telescopes, Camp, Racecourse, Opera, and Per.
epectivo Glasses, to know the distances of objects viewed
through them—of great importance to the army, navy,
and others. These telescopes possess such extraordinary
powers that some three and a-half inches, with an extra eye-
piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Saturn's ring,
and the double stars ; with the same teiescopo can be
seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They are of larger and al:
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly; while their vary.

They aro invaluable for shooting, deer-stalking, yachting, to
sportsmen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Opera,
race-course, camp, and perspective glasses, with wonderful
power. Newly-constructed Spectacle Lenses of the great.

from this invention is, that vision becoming impaired is
preserved and strengthened, and very aged persons aro

and at public assemblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing
noises in the ears is entirely removed; and it affords all the
assistance that possibly could be desired.-39, Albemarle
