METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Only a moderate supply of beasts was on offer here to-
day ; but, owing to the large failures in the hide trade, the
demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely Monday's cur-
rency. Sheep, the show of which was good, were in fair
request, at full prices. For lambs we had a steady inquiry,
at fully Monday's improvement in value. Env lish calves
were taken off freely ; foreign slowly, at previous quota-
tions. The supply was seasonably good. Pigs and n:ilch
cows changed hands slowly, at late rates.

TUE GOLDSMITHS' COMPANY.—This company
have forwarded the princely donation of £5O to the Normal
Female School of Design, Gower-street, in furtherance of
the object, for which they have been compelled to appeal to
the public for funds—i.e., to prevent, if possible, their being
closed by a fiat of the Committee of Council on Education,
and for no apparent cause, except their having proved
themselves the most successful portion of the art educa-
tional scheme.
MESSRS. COLLARD'S Rooms, GROSVENOR-STREET.
—Madlle. Fineli gave a matinee musicale at Messrs. Col-
lard's rooms, (grosvenor-street, yesterday. In the first part,
Madame Catherine Hayes sang an aria, by Bellini, in a
manner to leave nothing to be desired, and was warmly
applauded. The fair beneficiare delighted her audience
by the very charming manner she gave an aria from Ros-
sini, and was rewarded by well-merited marks of approbe.-
dons. She was also equally successful in Rossini's terzetto,
" Zitti, zitti' " from "Il Barbiere." The concert was
wall attended.
MALT DUTY.—From a return presented to the
House of Commons, it appears that tho;number of bushels

inclusive, was 43,493,206, and the number in the year ter-
minating on the 16th of May, 1860, 43,583,896.

ROBBRRY OF THE " SISTERS' HOME" BY A NURSE.—
Catherine Miller, a middle-aged woman, a nurse at the
" S eters' Home," 82, Margaret-sreet, Cavendish-square,
was charged, before Mr. Beadon, by Lambert, 68 E, with
stealing a gold watch, of the value of £lO, the property of
Nliss Matilda Heywood, one of the sisters.
Miss Heywood said the prisoner had lived at the
"Home" from the 25th of April till the morning cf last
Thursday, on which morning she left the "Home," having
obtained leave of one of the sisters to go out for the day,
and promising to return in the evening. On going to a
drawer in her bedroom shortly after the prisoner left, she
missed her gold watch of the value of 10 guineas, and
which was safe on the Sunday previous. The prisoner
never returned to the " Home," and information was then
given to the police.
In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prisoner said she had no
questions to ask.
Lambert, 68 E, who took the prisoner into custody, said
he found on her a number of duplicates. He wished for a
remand that he might produce the watch, which he had
ascertained had been pledged.
Mr. Beadon remanded the prisoner till Thursday next.

had voted a guarantee of £5OO, and the vestry of Newing-
ton £lOO. He then proceeded to state the means which
the opponents of the measure were taking to defeat it. On
Tuesday the r influence had thrown over the bill by a count-
out, and the Government were not powerful enough to inset
the great interest brought to bear upon the question. The
House of 'Ards hail fixed the 27th instead of the 23d of
July for receiving such bills, so that the parishes had still
an opportunity if they exerted all their influence, to carry
their point. He bad presented a petition to the House of
Commons upon the subject, complaining of the character
of the opposition, and referring to the standing order which
prevented members voting in committees in matters in
which they were directly interested. The representatives of
the delegates had done all they emit to shame the House of
Commons into proceeding v,rith the question, but the cor-
ruption was so flagrant, and the opponents talked so
positively as to their power, that no one could
be certain as to the result. The bill was nor"

of Commons had largely increased of late
years, and there was no apprehension if any
infringement or invasion of its privileges took place, that
house would vindicate them in the most emphatic and ef-
fective manner. (Hear, hear.) The noble lord concluded
a very energetic appeal by urging the arguments he had
already urged, and resumed his seat amid loud cheers.
➢ir. COLLIER said that from the tone of hon. members
he did not feel disposed to press his amendment. He con-
tended, however, that the conduct of the House of Lords in
rejecting the bill was opposed to constitutional usage,
notwithstanding that they might have a legal
right. The Sovereign had legal rights, but it was well
known that they were not exercised in opposition to the
views of other estates, and he denied that there was any
precedent applicable to the course adopted by the Louis.

THE YEARLY DISTRIBUTION OF
_PRIZES AT EYIVERSITY COLLEGE.

The yearly ceremony of distributing prizes to
the successful students attending this University
was performed yesterday. Lord Stanley, M.P.,
was called en to preside. The attendance was
numerous, and included, among others, with the
professors and students, Sir Edward Ryan, Lord
Fortescue, Mr. George Grote, Sir Francis Gold-
amid, M.P., Mr. John Miller, Mr. Edward Romilly,
Dr. Booth, &c.
The CHAIRMAN, who was received with loud ap-
plause, expressed the pleasure he felt in being called
on to preside on the occasion. He did not consider
it necessary for him to state the object of the meet-
ing, as they were anxious to hear the report read,
and to congratulate those students who had gained
the prizes of the year.
Prof. NEWMAN, the Dean, read the report of the
session, and the various professors each read a list
of the successful prize candidates and those thought
worthy of commendation in his own class, when the
latter came forward in the following order, and re-
ceived their prizes from the hands of the chair-

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF THE PORTE.

Mr. lIADFIELD asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs whether (under 14th protocol, page 59, of
conferences of the plenipotentiaries of Paris, 1856, relative
to the treaty of peace),there had been a revision of the stipu-
lations which regulate the commercial relations of the Porte
with other Powers, or in the position of foreigners
resident in Turkey; and whether (agreeably to
the recorded wish of the plenipotentiaries) a delibera-
tion had yet been opened at Constantinople, since
the conclusion of peace, between the Porte and the
representatives of other powers, with the view of attaining
the twofold object in such a manner as to afford entire sa-
tisfaction to all legitimate interests; and, if there had been
no such revision and deliberation, whether this
country, in its commercial relations with the
Porte, ranks with the most favoured nations
(with Russia especially), in all commercial transactions,
the residence of British subjeCts in Turkey, fiscal and
other duties ; and whether any beneficial or other change
had taken place since the commencement of the war with
Russia, or was intended; and were negotiations in progress
to facilitate the commerce of this country with Turkey ?
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to answer the ques-
tion in the negative.

Mr. CRUM-EWING asked the President of the Board
of Trade if he intended to bring in a bill on the subject of
trade marks, and false markings of measurements, and if so
when ?

Mr. M. GIBSON said that a bill on the subject had
been prepared, but there was a bill before a committee which
contained a clause relating to this subject, and, Gonse-
quently, the bill was postponed.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(YESTERDAY.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.

The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Epping Railways (Dunmow Extension), Faringdon
rail-
way, Llanelly Railway and Dock Company, and Sheffield
Cutlers' Company.
The Belfast and Ballymena Railway, Bucks County
Rate, Great Northern and Western (of Ireland) Railway,
and Limerick and Ennis Railway Bills were considered and
ordered for third reading.
London, England, 1860-05-08

THE lIOUSES OF PARLIAMENT.

Sir F. KELLY asked the Chief Commissioner of Works,
whether he had received the report of Sir Roderick Mur-
chison and Professor Faraday on the processes for preserv-
ing the external stonework of the Houses of Parliament,
and whether ho had any objection to lay the same before
the house, together with copies of the instructions or
minutes of reference to those gentlemen, and any corres-
pondence, not already before the house, which had passed
between the Board of Works and the respective patentees,
the referees, or Sir Charles Barry.
Mr. CO W PER said he had received the reports of Sir
Roderic Murchison and Professor Faraday relative to the
external stonework of the Houses of Parliament. He did
not, however, feel at liberty to lay the same on the table,
as they were not intended for publicity, but merely for his
information. He was quite prepared t o take on himself the
responsibility of acting on these reports. He would readily
lay on the table the papers respecting the patentees and
referees.
London, England, 1860-05-08

LEAVE OF ABSENCE.

Leave of absence was granted to Mr. JORN H. GURNEY,
for a week, from ill health ; and to Mr. MUTT, for a fort-
night, on the ground of domestic affliction.
REGISTRATION OF BIRTHS, &c., IRELAND.
Lord HAAS, in moving for leave to bring in a bill for
securing tho registration of births, deaths, and marriages
in Ireland, drew attention to the very anomalous state of
Ireland in reference to registration. That country, Turkey,
Greece, Spain, and Hungary were the only countries
where adequate arrangements for registration were
not provided by law. He proposed to extend
the registration of marriages in Ireland to persons
married according to the ceremonies of the Roman Catholic
Church, and he proposed to make the constabulary
a principal agent in carrying out the general
registration. The noble lord then proceeded to
discuss the details of this bill, which were
identical with the measure which the noble lord had intro-
duced in a previous session.

Mr. CARDWELL expressed great pleasure at the noble
lord having resumed his efforts to place this subject on a

satisfactory footing. He .ntirely concurred with the notle
lord as to the great importance of a proper system of regis-
tration in Ireland, from the absence of which much hard-
ship was inflicted on persons of the poorer class in that

country, who were unable to prove their title to pro-

perty of wealthy relatives who might have died abroad.
He hoped the present session would not pass without a bill
on that subject being passed. The matter had been care-
fully considered in Ireland, and there were other plans
proposed which differed in some points from that of the noble

lord and it was thought advisable by some persons whose

attention had been directed to the subject, that the same
system which prevailed !n Scotland should be introduced
into Ireland, and he would ask pet mission of the house
to lay on the table a bill on the subject, which,
with the measure of the noble lord, would be submitted
to the consideration of the house. He would be happy to
afford all the assistance to the passing of a bill.
Leave was then given to bring in the bill.

DISTURBANCES IN NEW ZEALAND.

Lord A. CHURCHILL asked the Under Secretary of
State for the Colonies whether any authentic intelligence
had been received with respect to the disturbances reported
to have occurred between certain native tribes in the pro-
vince of Taranaki, in New Zealand, through a disputed
land claim connected with the movement in favour of a na-
tive King, and in consequence of which Capt. Murray, com-
manding a detachment of the 65th Foot, had proclaimed
martial law, and that her Majesty's ship Niger had left
Auckland for the scene of action with considerable rein-
forcements ; and whether there was reason to believe that
these disturbances would not spread beyond the province?
Mr. C. FORTESCUE said the governor of the colony
had gone to New Plymouth with a strong detachment of
troops, and was acting vigorously in respect to the diffi-
culties that had arisen, but there was every reason to be-
lieve that tranquillity would be shortly re-established.
REMOVAL OF BRIGADIER IN NES.

Mr. TORRENS asked the Secretary of State for India,
what were the grounds for the removal of Brigadier Innes
from his command as Brigadier at Ferozepore in May,
1857, after the perfect approbation of the Commander-in-
Chief had been conveyed, in the Adjutant-General's letter
of the 19th of the same month, to that officer, for the judg-
ment, vigour, and decision with which he had acted at tke
commencement of the mutiny in Bengal I'
Sir C. WOOD said he did not consider the question a
proper one to be put in that house ; but he would state that
the Indian Government hed removed the officers in ques-
tion, because they thought it was desirable at the time to
do so.
GRAVES OF BRITISH OFFICERS AND MEN IN
THE CRIMEA.

Lord BURGHLEY sked the Secretary of State for Fo-
reign Affairs, whether, in consequence of the remonstrance
of her Majesty's Government, any promise or security had
b_en given by the Russian Government that the graves of
the officers and men of the British army, who are interred
tho Crimea, shall be protected and held sacred in future ?

Lord J. RUSSELL said that the Government of Russia
had been remonstrated with in respect to the matter in
January, Much, and April, and had promised full enquiry
into the subject. They stated that they had every desire
to maintain those graves in a decent manner, but there
were some difficulties in dealing with the matter in conse
quence of the graves being scattered. The Government of
this country had instructed the British Consul at Odessa to
attend to those graves, and had granted him £lOO a-year for
that purpose.

ROMAN CATHOLIC CHARITIES.

Mr. NEWDEGATE asked the hon. member for Dun-
dalk, when he intended proceeding with the bill respecting
Roman Catholic charities, upon which the Secretary of
State for the Home Department had informed the house
that the hon. member had been in communication with the
Government ?

Mr. BOWYER said there had been no delay en his part
in bringing on this bill, but the measure had been retarded
in consequence of the difficulties that arose from the diffe-
rence between Roman Catholic and other churches. The
bill had been placed in the hands of an eminent convey-
ancer, and he was in communication with the Attorney -
General on the subject of the measure. He was quite
prepared to go on with the bill in committee.

HORSE RACING BILL.

Lord REDESDALE said he had some time ago intro-
duced a bill to prevent horses racing with:ridiculously light
weights, and he had hoped that it would not be ne-
cessary to proceed with it; but as the Jockey Club
had taken the matter under its consideration, he would
therefore postpone proceeding with it on the day he
originally intended—namely, the 15th May, in order that
he might become acquainted with the views the Jockey
Club took of the bill.
AGRICULTURE_ IN INDIA.

The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said, in the absence
of certain necessary information, he should postpone until
a future day the motion he had on the paper for certain de-
spatches on the subject.
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH regretted that the
noble marquis had been compelled to adopt that course, be-
cause India was at that moment in a most dangerous con-
dition. It was suffering from an agricultural insurrection,
and it was of the utmost importance that the causes of the
disturbances should be inquired into.

Mrs. Somerset, the wife of the last witness, identified the
watch as her property. The crest in it had been partly
obliterated, but it was still very plain.
Police-constable, 256 V, arrested the prisoner and found
on his person the watch, purse, pencil-case, and other things
which had been identified by Col. Somerset as his property.
The Common Sergeant informed the prisoner that was
the case against him, and having summed up the evidence,
The jury returned a verdict of guilty.
Mr. Lewis said a depositor's book in a savings bank was
found, in which the prisoner had £BO standing in his name.
The prisoner had been in the service of the prosecutor
about two years, during which small sums of money and
articles of clothing had been missed. The prosecutor com-
plained of the constant thefts that were taking place, and
prisoner advised Col. Somerset to be very careful, as he (pri-
soner) thought there were dishonest servants in the house.
Several servants had been dismissed on his surmises, and
there was reason now to believe that they were perfectly
honest. Another circumstance which greatly aggravated
the robbery was that, on the voyage from Gibraltar to Lon-
don, 001. Soutereok irmA a travailing bag into his possession,
telling him to take great care of it, as it contained valuables
to the amount of CO. On his arrival in England the pri-
soner declared the hag had been stolen, as it could pot be
found, and there was every reason to believe that he was
the thief.

The Common Sergeant, in passing sentence, said it was
a most aggravated case of robbing. The prisoner had not
only been the cause of others being suspected of dishonesty;
but he (the learned Judge) had been informed that he
had contrived to introduce his wife into the service
of Col. Somerset as a single woman, and had induced her,
no doubt, from other circumstances that had come to his
knowledge, also to commit robbery. The prisoner was
then sentenced to six years' penal servitude.
After another short trial had been disposed of,

Mr. Ribton said—lt would perhaps be more respectful
to the Court if I explained, that it was of the prosecution
that I so loudly complained, and not of the course taken by
your lordship. I think it respectful to inform your lordship
that it is my intention to refer the matter to the Secretary
of Stato for the Home Department, as the man was vir-
tually undefended.

The Common Sergeant—You can do whatever you please.

COMMERCIAL RELATIONS OF TH'n PORTE.

Mr. HADFIELD asked the Secretary ttf State for
Foreign Affairs whether (under 14th protocol, page 59, of
conferences of the plenipotentiaries of Paris, 1E;56, relative
to the treaty of peace),there had been a revision, of the stipu-
lations which regulate the commercial relations: of the Port•
with other Powers, or in the position of foreigners
resident in Turkey; and whether (agreeably to
the recorded wish of the plenipotentiaries) a delibera-
tion had yet been opened at Constantinople, since
the conclusion of peace, between the Porte and the
representatives of other powers, with the view of attaining
the twofold object in such a manner as to affoced entire sa.
tisfaction to all legitimate interests; and, if there had been
no such revision and deliberation, whether this
country, in its commercial relations with the
Porte, ranks with the most favoured nations
(with Russia especially), in all commercial transactions,
tho residence of British subjects in Turkey, fiscal and
other duties.; and whether any beneficial or other change
had taken place since the commencement t)f the war with
Russia, or was intended; and were negotiat ions in progress
to facilitate the commerce of this country with Turkey
Lord J. RUSSELL was understood to answer the ques-
tion in the negative.

Mr. CRUM-EWING asked the President of the Board
of Trade if he intended to bring in a bill on the subject of
trade marks, and false markings of measurements, and if so
when ?

Mr. M. GIBSON said that a bill on the► subject had
been prepared, but there was a bill before a committee which
contained a clause relating to this subject, and, conse-
quently, the bill was postponed.

Mr. WALTER said,—Sir, I rise to move the adjourn •

upon a personal matter, but I conceive that it has a right
to be informed of any circumstance affecting the position
and independence of ono of its members, and, as I have
reason to complain of an attempt which has been made by
the right hon. member for Stroud to place me in a false po-
sition as a member of this house, and to impair my freedom
of speech, I venture to ask its indulgence for a few moments
while I state the nature of my complaint, and I feel confi-
dent that, when it has heard my statement, it will be of opi-
nion that no other course was left open to me than that
which I have pursued. Sir, on Monday evening last I ven-
tured to address the house in the debate on the Reform Bill,
and on the following Wednesday I received from the right
hon. member for Stroud the following letter, which, as it
contains the reasons for an attack which the hon. member
intended to make upon me in this house, though cirouT-
atances prevented him from fulfilling that intention, I will
take the liberty of reading to the house. I was the more
surprised at this letter, because, up to the moment whir I
received it, I bad no reason to suppose that my relaV ion

ITALY.
The following is the text of the proclamation
addressed by Mazzini to the Sicilians :
" Sicilians—When I, almost 30 years ago, in-
scribed on the banner of Young Italy the word
Unity,' when I said that a popular insurrection
might expel Austria from Lombardy and over-
throw the thrones of the despots of Florence, Rome,
and Naples, practical men laughed at me for think-
ing of impossible dreams, and declared as a Uto-
pian scheme that which is now the most ardent
wish of every Italian in the political unity of that

peninsula.
" Facts have justified my assertions. The revo-
lutions of 1848 have proved that not a throne, even
when supported by foreign bayonets, could stand
against the will of the people. The events which
have taken place in Italy during the last twelve
months clearly show that unity will be no longer a
dream, but a reality, when the people who still
groan in chains give a strong and fresh impulse to
events and resume a vigorous initiative.
" Sicilians ! Be you the first ! Show that you
have not degenerated since the days of our ances-
tors. Revolution is permanent in Sicily, says old
Europe ; let it be once more right, and let this time
be the last. Let insurrection spread from one end

..... _
to another of your island. Fight like heroes, as
you are in the habit of doing, and you will be vie-

torious.
" The Government of the Bourbons having been
broken down, we will proclaim that which Central
Italy has already chosen—the only one that can be
called Italian, that of the brave and gallant King.
Let us therefore inscribe on our banners the word
' Annexation.'
" Before being a republican I was in favour of
unity, for it appeared to me that a republie alone
could lead to it. I was mistaken. Victor Emmanuel
made Italy progress towards that object; he will
lead her to it if the people wilt assist him. I thus
sacrifice old ideas to old principle; and with you,
Sicilians, and•with all the other people of the Italian
peninsula, who will henceforth form only one na-
tion, with you I cry, Long live Victor Emmanuel,
King of Italy.'
" Sicilians, the hour has struck. In the name of
Italy, To arms ! " JOSEPH MAZZINI."
