that gross intimidation was practised to prevent
electors from voting for Sir a. Elphinstone and Mr.
T. C. Bruce, and they ask the house to annul the
return and declare the election void.

TOPERARY.-Mr. Peter Edmund Gill, a candidate
at the late general election, petitions against the re-
turn of ' Mr. C. Moore and Mr. J. B. Dillon, to
whose instigation he imputes the fact of his arrest
for debt after the show of hands on the day of nomi-
nation had been declared to be in his favour. Not-
withstanding the discouraging influence of his arrest,
Mr. Gill says that nearly 1,000 electors voted for
him, " while for the said Charles Moore and John
B. Dillon little more than 2,000 electors voted,
leaving about 6,000 electors who did not vote, or
were prevented from voting, by reason of undue
influence." After charging against the sitting mem-
bers bribery, corruption, treating, and intimidation,
the petitioner asks that their returns may be an-
nulled, and that he may be declared to be one of
the sitting members for the county of Tipperary.
Y 0 RKSIIIRE (NonTn).—A second petition against
the return for this division of Yorkshire has been
presented, but in this case it is Mr. W. E. Dun-
combe whose seat is attacked. Two electors attri-
bute to that gentleman and his agents " gross, ex-
tensive, systematic, and open and notorious bribery,
corruption, and treating." They also allege that
unqualified persons were allowed to record their
votes for Mr. Duncombe, and that voters were em-
ployed as agents, poll clerks, runners, and flagmen;
upon all which grounds they pray the house to de-
clare the return of Mr. W. E. Duncombe to be null
and void.

Court of Common Council.

A Court of Common. Council was held yesterday
at Guildhall; the Lord Mayor presided.
TIIE CATTLE PLAGUE.

The TOWN CLERK (Mr. Woodthorpe) called the
attention of the Court to a communication that had
been received from Sir G. Grey, notifying the fact
that the Cattle Plague Bill had passed both Houses
of Parliament, and had received the Royal Assent,
and that for a certain period no live cattle would be
allowed to pass through the metropolis. The Cor-
poration of the City of London was therefore re-
quested to make the necessary arrangements for
providing markets for the regular supply of dead
meat for the metropolis.
Mr. R UDKIN, chairman of the Markets Committee,
moved that the communication from the Secretary of
State be referred to that committee, for them to take
what steps they considered necessary in the matter.
Mr. BANISTER seconded the motion, which was
carried unanimously.
Deputy SNELLING said he should be glad if the
chairman of the Markets Committee would inform
the Court whether there was any accommodation
for the slaughtering of foreign cattle when they
arrived at Blackwall or Thames Haven ?

Mr. RCDKIN said that, so far as he was aware,

there was very little, if any, accommodation for the
slaughtering of cattle upon their arrival. At least
this was the case when he was there a month ago.
Deputy SNELLING wished to know whether foreign
cattle could be sent from Blackwall or Thames
Haven to London ?

Mr. RUDKIN said they certainly could not now be
sent by railway; and by the bill of Mr. Hunt, which
was at present before Parliament, and which would
come on for discussion that night, cattle were not to
be allowed to pass along any public road for a
greater distance than 500 yards. He believed,
however, that a strenuous effort would be mada to
obtain some modification of this c?ause, so as to
enable foreign cattle to be brought to London to be
slaughtered ; and he could not help saying that, in
his opinion, if this could be effected, it would be a
very great boon to the inhabitants of the metro-
polis. (Hear.)

QUEEN'S COLLEGE (IRELAND.)

Sir R. PEEL said ho had a motion on the paper that
evening for an address to be presented to her Majesty,
praying her Majesty graciously to withhold her consent
from any change she may be advised to make in the
charter and constitution of the Queen's university and
Queen's colleges in Ireland, until that house had had an,
opportunity of expressing its opinion whether such change
was desirable to be made. It stood rather late in tl-Je
list of motions, and he thought he should or'.y ho
acting in accordance with the wish of the house if he
asked its permission to ask the right hon. gentleman
whether it was not a fact that the Government had deter-
mined not to obtain the sign manual of the Sovereign to
any alteration in the charter of the colleges before the
house had had an opportunity of expressing its opinion on
the advice the Government intended to offer to the
Crown ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXEHEQUER said there
was no change in the intention of the Government with
respect to this matter. The Government would tender
certain advice to the Crown, but the house would have the
opportunity of challenging the conduct of the Govern-
ment before the Crown was committed by any forma
act.

Mr. LOWE said he was very anxious there should be
no mistake in the matter, and he should like to knomr
whether the house would have a full opportunity of con-
sidering this matter.

The CHANCELLOR, of the EXCHEQUER said the
house would have a full opportunity of discussing the
matter before any' formal act of the Sovereign. (Hear

TRAVELLING ON RAILWAYS.

In reply to Sir W. GALWAY,

Mr. M. GIBSON said the Board of Trade were very
desirous ihat there should be a communication on railways
between passenger and guard and guard and engine driver.
Ho had seen the chairmen of some of the largo railways,
and had impressed on them the necessity of such an ar-
rangement. He could not give an assurance that the
Government would bring in a bill with respect to.. the
matter.

DEEP SEA FISHERY.

On the motion for going into committee of supply,
Mr. S. CAVE rose to call attention to the report of the
Deep Sea Fishery Commission, and asked the President of
the Board of Trade whether her Majesty's Government
intended to carry into effect the recommendation thereof
respecting the deep sea oyster fishery.
Mr. DUCANE said the subject was one of great import-
ance, and ho hoped the Government would give a satisfac-
tcry answer to the question.

SOUTH - EASTERN RAILWAY DIVIDEND. The

TWO MEN SLIFFOCATED.---TWO men who were
in search of employment have been suffocated at Cyfarthfa
Merthyr Tydfil, by inhaling noxious gas from the copper
furnaces which are attached to the boilers. The deceased
men, it appears, slept all night by the side of the boilers,
and in the morning they were found quite dead. This is
the fourth or fifth case which has recently arisen under
similar circumstances.
London, England, 1866-02-23

bably be determined. Both proposals were assented
to by the house without debate, and as Mr.
Disraeli observed, when endorsing the resolutions of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, another con-
vincing proof was thus afforded by Parliament of
the sincere affection with which the nation regards
all the members of the royal family. Another
money grant was made by the House of Commons
last evening which was of even a more exceptional
kind than those to which we have referred. When
the late Premier died the country demanded, as if
with one voice, that his remains should be laid in
that venerable abbey which contains the dust of
England's most illustrious sons. It is but a natural
supplement to that request that a monument should
be raised by the nation to his memory. What the
English Parliament did for Chatham and Pitt and
Perccval it may well do for a minister who was
more popular than any of the three, and whose fame
will be still more long-lived. In a panegyric which,
for exhaustive eloquence, has probably never been
surpassed in Parliament, the Chancellor of the Ex-
chLquer Fainted the character of the late minister.
What Lord Palmerston was no one, however, needs
to be reminded. But for that very reason the
words of Mr. Gladstone fell on more attentive ears.
Lord Palmerston was essentially a representative
man, and the character which he represented was
precisely that which the peciple of this country most
delight to worship. As the apostle of Liberalism,
as the warm supporter of constitutional rights, he
left a name which has become a household word
throughout continental Europe. In Belgium, ill
the Peninsula, in Italy, Lord Palmerston has left
the indelible marks a that master spirit which re-
cognised not only the possibility, but the imperative
necessity, of erecting free institutions on the ruins
of despotism. Nor did Mr. Gladstone omit to notice
those traits in the private character of Lord Palmer-
ston which especially endeared him to all with whom
he came in contact, and disarmed the enmity of even
his bitterest political opponents. His geniality, his
quiet humour, his love of a good stand-up fight, his
generous scorn of all unfair advantages, and that
transient, unenduring anger which was the utmost
a rival could ever succeed in provoking, all conspired
to gain for him a position which probably no Eng-
lish statesman ever attained before. It is needless
to say that the resolution submitted, to the House
was not only adopted unanimously, but was carried
by acclamation. A suggestion, thrown out by
Sir J. Pakington ought not, however, to pass un-
noticed. Parliament may grant the money for a
monument to Lord Palmerston with great willing-
ness, but years may nevertheless elapse before the
public will be enabled to see the tribute raised to
his memory. 'thirteen years have passed since Par-
liament voted a monument to the late Duke of Wel-
lington, yet that monument is nowhere to be seen.
It is to be hoped that a similar delay will not take
place in the erection of the monument for which the
funds were granted last night.

ing for the adoption of active steps on the part of the Go-
vernment to arrest the cattle epidemic.

Council if the Government proposed to take charge of the
Cattle Plague Bill when it came from the other house, and
if they wore prepared to promote its speedy progress
through the house ?
Earl GRANVILLE said that Government would not
throw any impcdiment in the passing of the bill, but they
would not take charge of the meacure.

THE ROMAN CATHOLIC CLERGY IN IRELAND

Viscount LIFFORD postponed till Monday next the
following, which stood for this evening, viz., to call the
attentioti of the house to the causes of the present condi-
tion of Ireland, and to ask of her Majesty's Government
whether it was their intention to introduce any measure
into Parliament providing for the support of the Roman
Catholic dory of Ireland, independent of the contributions
of the people.

The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
GREENWICH AND WOOLWICH LOWER ROAD

On the motion for the second reading of this bill,

Mr. LOCKE opposed the motion.
After a short discussion, the suggestion of Mr. Dodson
was adopted, that a continuance bill should be brought in
for the present year.

The motion for the second reading was postponed for a
week.

PUBLIC SCHOOLS.

Mr. G. DUFF asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether it was intended to introduce, during the course of
the present session, any measure with reference to the
public schools ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said he be-
lieved it was the intention of the Earl of Clarendon to
introduce a bill in the other house with respect to public
schools.
London, England, 1866-02-23

WATER WORKS.

Mr. FERRAND asked the President of the Board of
Trade if the Secretary of State for the Home Department
did not, early in the session of 1864, promise the house
that stringent clauses for the protection of life and pro-
perty should be immediately drawn up and inserted in all
future waterworks bills ; and whether such clauses had
been drawn up and inserted in waterworks acts since
passed?
Mr. GIBSON said he was not aware of the promise.
There had, however, been a recommendation made by a
committee last year, and in accordance with that a bill
was being prepared, and would be introduced as speedily
as possible.

[ADVEnTISEMEN'T.]—HoIIoway's Ointment and Pills.—
Wrongs and their remedies.—When the safe treatment of
disease by these purifying preparations is so simple, and
the good result so fully known, it seems almost unneces-
sary to ask the ailing to give them a trial. The ointment
is infallible in curing skin diseases, healing ulcers, arrest-
ing inflammations, relieving enlargements, and removing
almost all external maladies. In all affections of the joints,
gouty rheumatic and scrofulous attacks, by which the
health of many is daily drained away. Holloway's oint-
ment and pills will afford indescribable relief, and will
gradually, if they bo used as recommended in the accom-
panying directions, bring about a thorough and lasting
cure. These medicaments aro suitabD3 for both sexes, and
for every ago and condition.

Mr. Douglass—Because he wouldn't be treated as well,

The President—'r hen that is another argument in favour
of what lam going to say. It shows that the coloured
man appreciated the slave owner more highly than he did
the man who did not own slaves. Hence the enmity be-
tween the coloured man and the non-slaveholders. The
white man was permitted to vote before the government
was derived from him. He is a part and parcel of the poli-
tical machinery now, by rebellion or revolution ; and when
you come back to the objects of this war you find that the
abolition of slavery was not one of the objects. Congress
and the President declared that it was on our part in order
to suppress the rabellion. The abolition of slavery has
come as an incident to the suppression of a great rebellion
—as an incident we should give to it proper direction. The
coloured man went into this rebellion a slave; by the ope-
ration of the rebellion he came out a freedman, equal to a
freedman in other portions of the country. There is a
great deal done for him on this poin The non-slave-
holder who was thus forced into the reEellion, and was as
loyal as those that lived beyond the limits of the State,
was carried into it, and his property, and in a number
of instances the lives of such were sacrificed, and he who
has survived has come out of it with nothing gained,
but a great deal lost. Now, upon a principle of justice,
should they be placed in a condition different from
what they were before ? On the one hand, one has gained
a great deal; on the other hand, one has lost a great
deal, and in a political point of view scarcely stands whore

bably be determined. Both proposals were assesses
to by the house without debate, and as Mr•
Disraeli observed, when endorsing the resolutions of
the Chancellor of the Exchequer, another con-
vincing proof was thus afforded by Parliament of
the sincere affection with which the nation regards
all the members of the royal family. Another
money grant was made by the ,House of Commons
last evening which was of even 0. more exceptional
kind than those to which we have referred. VVIO,II,

the late Premier died the country demanded, as
with one voice, that his remains should be laid in
that venerable abbey which contains the dust of
England's most illustrious sons. It is but a natural
supplement to that request that a monument shoda
be raised by the nation to his memory. What the
English Parliament did for Chatham and Pitt and
Perceval it may well do for a minister who was
more popular than any of the three, and whose fame
will be still more long-lived. In a panegyric which,
for exhaustive eloquence, has probably never been
surpassed in Parliament, the Chancellor of the Ex'
chequer painted the character of the late minister.
What Lord Palmerston was no one, however, needs
to be reminded. But for that very reason the
words of Mr. Gladstone fell on more attentive ears.
Lord Palmerston was essentially a representative
man, and the character which he represented Was
precisely that which the people of this country mos.,,
delight to worship. As the apostle of Liberalism,
as the warm supporter of constitutional rights, he
left a name which has become a household word
throughout continental Europe. In Belgium, in
the Peninsula, in Italy, Lord Palmerston has left
the indelible marks of that master spirit which re"
cognised not only the possibility, but the imperative
necessity, of erecting free institutions on the ruins
of despotism. Nor did Mr. Gladstone omit to notice
those traits in the private character of Lord Palmer'
ston which especially endeared him to all with whom
he came in contact, and disarmed the enmity of even
his bitterest political opponents. His geniality, his
.
quiet humour, hip love of a good stand-up fight, PI
generous scorn of all unfair advantages, and the
transient, unendurfog anger which was the utmostj
a rival could ever succeed in provoking, all conspired
to gain for him a position which probably no Eng-
lish statesman ever attained before. It is needless
to say that the resolution submitted to the House,
was not only adopted unanimously, but was carried
by acclamation. A. suogestion, thrown out bl
Sir J. Pakington ought not, however, to pass no'
noticed. Parliament may grant the money for a
monument to Lord Palmerston with great willing'
ness, but years may nevertheless elapse before the
public will be enabled to see the tribute raised to
his memory. Thirteen years have passed since Par:
liament voted a monument to the late Duke of IVel
lington, yet that monument is nowhere to be sees:
It is to be hoped that a similar delay will not tal,:
place in the erection of the monument for which the
funds were granted last night.

MARK LANE.

Fresh up to our market to-day, the arrivals of English
wheat were moderate, but in poor condition. Dry samples,
however, moved off steadily, at fully late rates ; otherwise
the trade ruled quiet on former terms.
With foreign wheat tho market was moderately sup-
plied. The best descriptions were in fair average request,
at full currencies, but inferior parcels met a slow sale at
late rates.

Floating cargoes of grain wore in fair demand, at pro•
vious quotations.

The supply of barley on sale was very moderate. The
trade for malting descriptions was firm, at full currencies.
Grinding and distilling barley mot a slow sale, but at full
prices.
Malt ruled firm at fully late rates.
There was a large supply of oats on sale ; the trade was
dull, and prices were rather lower than on Monday.
Beans and peas met a slow sale at late rates.
There was a fair demand for flour on former terms.

AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

Sir W. HUTT asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer
whether the Government proposed to introduce any mea-
sure to authorize the collection of agricultural statistics in
Great Britain.

Mr. GIBSON said it was intended to ask for the same
vote as that taken last year.

WEIGHTS AND MEASURES.

Mr. LOCKE asked the Secretary of State for the
Home Department whether it was the intention of her
Majesty's Government to introduce any bill into Parlia-
ment during the present session to amend the law relating
to weights and measures ?
Mr. CHILDERS said it was the intention of the Go-
vernment to introduce such a measure.
London, England, 1866-02-23

Lord KINNAIRD said that if the wholesale slaughter
of cattle proposed by the Cattle Disease Bill were at-
tempted it would not be successful, and ho for one would
endeavour to evade it.

Earl GRANVILLE, in explanation, repeated the sub
stance of what he had stated on a previous occasion.
The house after some conversation then adjourned.
London, England, 1866-02-23

ART BILL,

Lord STANLEY of ALDERLEY brought up tho re
port of amendments to this bill, which was agreed to.

ILLEGAL REMOVAL OF CATTLE.

Lord WHARNCLIFFE asked the Lord President
whether the local authority in England could apply to the
county rate to the payment of rewards offered for informa-
tion as to alleged removal of cattle. He said that an at-
tempt lead been made by private gentlemen in Yorkshire
to adopt measures for getting that information. The
noble lord made some other observations, but they wore
inaudible in the reporters' gallery.

The Earl of AIRLIE contended that it was desirable
the Government should take prompt action with regard to
the cattle disease.

_____.„,............
in the same proportion as the duty on tea had ...
beeu re,
duced ?

The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his
office was to decline answering questions where the Go-
vernment had not done eertain acts. He did not think
there were at present any grounds for the rumour relative
to the reduction of the duty on coffee in the same propor-
tion as tea. He thought the duty on tea and coffee as nearly
equal as it was possible to make them.
AGRICULTURAL STATISTICS.

In reply to Mr. READ,

Mr. GIBSON said with respect to the agricultural sta-
tistics the schedule would be prepared by the Board of
Trade, the Post-office office would deliver them, tho offi-
cers of the 'eland Revenue would sum them up, and tho
aggregate return would be made by the Board of
Trade.

THAMES.

AN INORDINATE LOVE OF SWEETMEATS.—A dirty, ill-
dressed boy, with a head of hair that sadly wanted comb-
ing and the attentions of a hair-dresser, who gave the
name of William Johnson, was brought before Mr. Par-
tridge, charged with stealing a quantity of sweetmeats and
marbles, the property of Thomas Henry Capon, of No. 52,
Mansell-street, Whitechapel.
Mrs. Elizabeth Capon said the prisoner came into her
shop and took the little gin bottles off the counter and
began to eat them as fast as he was able. (Laughter.)
Mr. Partridge—Eat gin bottles ! How could he do
that ? (Great laughter.)
The witness said her gin bottles were made of sugar,
and soon disappeared down the prisoner's throat. (A
laugh.) He then devoured three tarts—(roars of laughter)
—lollipops, also elu-campune, scissors, and other choice
sweetmeats. He cleared her counter, and proved to be a
very Dando for sweets. She said "I hope you intend to pay
for what you have eaten?" to which he replied, n Certainly,
but I must have a bottle of ginger beer to wash down the
sweets.' She uncorked a bottle of ginger beer, which he
drank, and finished by breaking the bottle. ' She then de-
manded the money for the sweetmeats, and he refused to
pay her, and took a pocket-full of marbles from a bowl.
Mr. Partridge—Sweet marbles.
Witness—No, sir ; stone marbles.
John Pales, a police constable, No. 99 H, said he took
the prisoner into custody and found 19 marbles upon! him.
The prisoner was charged with eating gin bottles, scissors,
tarts, and custards ; and be admitted that he had a de-
lightful tuck out—(laughter)—but he had no money to
pay for anything, and would pay presently. The prisoner
afterwards said, "Base is the slave who pays." (Laugh-
ter.)
Mr. Partridge asked the prisoner his age and occupa-

tion.
The Prisoner—l am nineteen and a sailmaker.
Mr. Partridge—You are not nineteen surely ?
The Prisoner—Yes, I am next birthday.
Mr. Partridge—What do you mean by going into this
woman's shop and devouring her sweetmeats ?
The Prisoner —I don't know.

Pales said the prisoner h'td been. in custody before for
attempting to rob the wife of a corn porter.
Mr. Partridge remanded the prisoner for a week.
THE CHOLERA AND BRANDY.—EIiza Walker, aged 64, a
woman,charged with being drunk and dis-
in a pauper's dress and large white
cap thin,
onp pale-faced achead,was
orderly.

A police constable said the prisoner was brought before
his worship yesterday for being refractory in the work-
house of St. George-in-the-East, of which she was an in-
mate, and discharged because tho porter could not get to
tho court in time to give evidence against her.
The prisoner said that after she was discharged a gen-
tleman gave her some brandy to keep the cholera away.
She was sentenced to seven days' imprisonment and
hard labour.
