THE SUITORS' FEE FUND.

Sir H. CAIRNS rose to ask a question relative to the in-
tentions of the Government with reference to the money of
suitors in the Court of Chancery. There was a rumour
afloat that it was the intention of the Chancellor of the Ex-
chequer to propose that some new stock should be created
called the Chancellor's stock, and that the money of the
suitors of the Court of Chancery should be in some compul-
sory manner invested in that stock at a fixed rate of inte-
rest. All he could say was that any such legislation was
entirely at variaflce with the tenor of the legislation of the
last few years. Last year an act provided for the investment
of the funds of the suitors, not only in the Three
_per Cent.
Consols, but in various kinds of stock, such as East incurs
stock; and in mortgages. What he now wished to ask the
Government was, what were the specific purposes which
this commission was intended to work out, at what time it
would commence its sittings, and whether the Government
would object to follow the invariable rule of advising her
Majesty to add to the commission the names of some other I
persons, and particularly the names of some of the judges
of the Court of Chancery, who would be willing to give the
commission their assistance. (Hear, hear.)

His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge,
as General Commanding. in-Chief, held a levee
yesterday afternoon at the Horse Guards, when
there was a numerous attendance of officers.
The next competitive examination of candidates
for direct commissions before the Vice-President
and members of the Council of Military Education

The examination of candidates for appointment

Council of Military Education, at the Royal Hos-
pital, Chelsea, is appointed to take place on Monday,
the Ist of next month, with the medical exami-
nation, and will terminate on Saturday, the 6th.
His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge
having, in concurrence with the Secretary of State
for War, decided on entirely remodelling the Royal
Engineer Permanent Committee, established at
Chatham in 1857 for the purpose of investigating
all subjects intimately connected with the Royal
Engineer branch of the service, official instructions
to that effect have been forwarded from the office
of the Adjt.-General to the Major-General com-
manding the troops at Chatham. Instead of the
officers who formerly comprised that body, the
Royal Engineer Permanent Committee will in
future consist of the following members :—The
Director of the Royal Engineer establishment at
Chatham, Col. H. D. Harness, C.B. ; the Command-
ing Royal Engineer at Chatham, Col. J. Twiss ;

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YEsTERDAv.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
aye o'clock.

ARMS ACT (INDIA).

The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition
from Simla and from pefsons generally in India against
the Indian Disarmament Act,which passed a short time ago,
and which was received with great dislike by the natives.
The people of Simla said that as they were situated far
from any troops, and as they were continually called on to
defend their property, it was unjust to deprive them of tha
arms. The other petitioners asserted they were permitted
by the bill of rights to bear arms, and therefore it was
unjust to deprive them of the privilege.
Earl DE GREY and RIPON said he did not think

-that act was received with general dislike. The Governor-
General and the Government at home felt that there was
great difficulty in making distinctions between natives
and Europeans in India; but the act contained
certain powers of exemption, and in the exer-
cise of that power, he issued a circular to the effect that,
as under certain circumstances Europeans might fairly
ome under that exemption, arms might safely be left in
their hands. The Government felt the Governor-General
had acted wisely in so dong,.

POLAND.
Lord STRATFORD DE REDCLIFFE wished to call
the attention of their lordships to a statement that
;bad appeared that morning in the public journals
;with respect to disturbances that had occurred in
ithe capital of Poland. The statement was that there had
lbeen great disorder and loss of life at Warsaw, and
he could not but say that the people and the
authorities that had been suddenly called up to
act had done so with the greatest moderation. The
question he wished to ask was whether her Majesty's Go-
vernment had received any official information that war
calculated to give a true account of what had actually
taken place, and if they had such in their possession,
whether there would be any objection to lay the same on
thn tahlp of thA house ?
Lord WODEHOUSE said the Government had received
from the Consul-General at Warsaw an account of
what had taken place there. He had received
his noble friend's intimation of his intention of put•
tin' °. his question so late as to
him prevent
t communicating with the noble lord the Secretary of
;State for Foreign Affairs. Under those circumstances he
must ask the noble lord to wait until Monday for an
"answer to his question, as to whether or not those papers
would be laid on the table.

OUR WINTER GARDEN.

At the invitation of the Royal Horticultural
Society we this morning visited the works now in
progress at our magnificent new Winter Garden
at South Kensington. From the litter of bricks
and mortar, barrows and planks, covering the
chief part of the area surrounded by the arched
collonade, we cannot but think that their
invitation has been no doubt generously but
rather injudiciously premature. The space
set apart there is very big and that is
all we can say about the enterprise just yet. A
little later on and we may be enabled to under-
stand better how far the model of the Gardens (as
they are intended to be)—a model now on view at
the entrance—will be realised.

If the right hon. gentleman the President of the
Board of Trade does nothing else this session than
carry through Parliament that Bill, leave to intro-
duce which he obtained last evening from the
House of Commons, he, at least, among onr
sixteen Cabinet Ministers, will have done admi-
rably. The design of the Bill, as its very title
intimates, is" to facilitate the construction and
improvement of harbours, by authorising loans to
harbour authorities, to abolish passing tolls, and
for other purposes." Once formed into an enact-
ment it will ensure a large measure of relief to the
!hipping interest, and one the advantages accruing
front which that interest will be the first to appre-
ciate. No wonder the House of Commons wel-
e°rned this measure of relief' with a sense of pecu-
liar satisfaction, particularly after the right hon.

IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT.

HOUSE OF LORDS.—(YESTERDAY.)
The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at
five o'clock.

ARMS ACT (INDIA).
The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH presented a petition
from Simla and from persons generally in India against
the Indian Disarmament Act,wbich passed a short time ago,
d which was received with great dislike by the natives.
The people of Simla said that as they were situated far
from any troops, and as they were continually called on to
defend their property, it was unjust to deprive them of the
arms. The other petitioners asserted they were permitted
by the bill of rights to bear arms, and therefore it was
unjust to deprive them of the privilege. •
Earl DE GP.EY and RIPON said he did not think
that act was received with general dislike. The Governor-
General and, the Government at home felt that there was
great difficulty in making distinctions between natives
and Europeans in India; but the act contained
certain powers of exemption, and in the exer-
cise of that power, he issued a circular to the effect that,
as under certain circumstances Europeans might fairly
arms might safely be left in
,c,ho,meire
hands.nnder GovernmentthTatheexemptin o'

Thad acted wisely in so doing.

DEATH OF THE DUCHESS

OF KENT.

We have to-day the painful intelligence to corn
municate to our readers of the death of the Duchess

of Kent. Her Royal Highness has for several
i

years been suffering from cancer, and the disease)
has of late made great progress. No immediate
danger, however, was apprehended until yesterdav,i
and to the last we had hoped that the alarm wash

premature, bat this morning she expired, herl
1

august daughter having been summoned to Frog-1
more on the previous evening. As the mother of
our Queen the nation owes her a deep debt of

gratitude for the training which their SoveH
reign received from her ; and probably
none of the consorts of any of the

Royal Dukes enjoyed a higher degreel
of public respect than the Duchess of Kent. The,

nation will sympathise deeply with their Queen in

losing such a mother, though it is some consolation)
that she had considerably more than reached the
three score years artd ten assigned to human life asl
its desirable limit, as will be seen from the follow

ing particulars, which may at the moment be in

teresting to our readers :

VICTORIA MARIA Lousiit, Duchess of Kent, fourth
daughter of the late Duke FRANCIS of Saxe Coburg
Saalfeld, sister of His Majesty LEOPOLD, King of
the Belgians, and aunt to the Duke of Saxe Coburg•
and Gotha; born August 17, 1786; married first 4
December 21, 1803, Emich Charles, Prince of
Leiningen, who died July 4, 1814 ; secondly, May
29, 1818, His Royal Highness EDWARD, Duke of.
Kent, who died January 23, 1820. Issue of first
marriage—CHAßLES, Prince of Leiningen, born;

Translated from the German of Dr. PICKFORD.

" Dr. fickford is known to English readers by his frequent
practical contributions to German medical literature. This
is the first time, he informs us, that he has addressed himself
to the non-medical reader. We trust that this may not be the
last, if he shall detect any other squally flagrant evil which it
may be in his power to correct."—London Medical Gazette.
" The editor has conferred a great boon on the sufferers
from this distressing malady by translating this little book,
and by laying bare the scandalous practices of unqualified
adventurers, who profess to cure a disease of which they
know nothing, with no other object than to fill their own
purses. The difference between true Sperrnatorrhcea and the
various forms of disease which resemole it are accurately de-
scribed, and thus a safe guide is offered for the treatment of
the malady."—Medical Circular.
" We have dilated so long upon the contents of the preli-
minary chapter, that we have scarcely left ourselves space for
any notice of the subject specially treated of by Dr. Pickford ;
but the moderate price at which the 'brochure' is sold, places
it within the reach of every one interested in the matter."—

THE LOWER HOUSE:

The members of the Lower House assembled in
the Jerusalem Chamber, adjoining Westminster
Abbey, at eleven o'clock, the. Venerable Archdeacon
Bickersteth presiding as Prolocutor.

" ESSAYS AND REVIEWS."

A discussion, originating from remarks made by
Archdeacon Denison on a statement made by the
Prolocutor to the Upper House on the previous
days that the gravamen signed by the members of
the Lower House, and sent up to their lordships,
had been signed by the majority of the Lower
House, took place, the Prolocutor stating that he
was correct in the representation he had made, as
the members who had signed the gravamen did not
constitute the majority.

If the right hon. gentleman the President of the I
Board of Trade does nothing else this session than
carry through Parliament that Bill, leave to intro-
duce which he obtained last evening from the
House of Commons, he, at least, among our
sixteen. Cabinet Ministers, will have done admi-
rably. The design of the Bill, as .its very title
intimates, is " to facilitate the construction and
improvement of harbours, by authorising loans to .
harbour authorities, to abolish passing tolls, and
for other purposes." Once formed into an enact-
ment it will ensure a large measure of relief to the :
Shipping interest, and one the advantages accruing:
from which that interest will be the first to appre-,.
elate. N 3 wonder the House of Commons wel- '
_. corned this measure of relief with a sense of pecu-
liar •
ar satisfaction, particularly after the right hon.
gentleman', admirably lucid explanation of its ,
bearing and character. The object of the Bill, as
he explained at the very outset of his remarks, is
nothing more nor less than to facilitate the ~
constra etion and improvement of harbours, `
by the granting of loans

pose. :14. Va GIBSON, While

for most descriptions. Oats and oatmeal slow of sale, but
at the previous currencies. Barley, beans, and peas were
unchanged. Indian corn held for 37e 6d per qr for mixed,

Tile CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said
that he would be able to make his financial statement 'early
in April, he hoped about the 11th of that month.
FOREIGN AFFAIRS.
Mr. DUNCOMBE asked the Secretary of State for
Foreign Affairs if no despatches were sent to Sir J. Hud-
son between the 31st August and the 27th of October last;
and, if so, why those despatches were omitted in the fur-
ther correspondence relating to. the affairs of Italy : And,

to ask, what were " the interests which Great Britain had in
the Adriatic," which the deApatch of 31st August stated" her
Imajesty's Government must watch with careful attention."

He said that the Government took credit for their p olicy
of non-intervention with other countries, but tiWt non-
intervention was all a hoax (laughter.) They had not in-
terfered with respect to Rome or Naples, because cm,peopla
in those places did not ask their permission to. take the
course they had done. But in Austria Government:had inter-
fered to assist the army and to keep down those wbohad been
tyrannised over. The contents of the despatch of Auk. 21
