THE FIRE IN TOOLEY-STREET.

Mr. Alderman SALOMON S asked the Secretary of State
for the Home Department, if he proposed making inquiry
into the circumstances attending the commencement of the
recent fire in Tooley-street, with a view of ascertaining
whether there was a sufficient supply of water in the mains
of the company supplyin,gjhe district
Sir G. C. LEWIS said that he had communicated with
the commissioners of police on the subject, and their report
was to the effect that on the first arrival of the engines
there was not a sufficient supply of water. He did not
think, however, that there was any necessity for enquiry
into the subject.
COURTS' OF JUSTICE BILL.
Mr. LYGON asked the First Commissioner of Works

this bill this evening.

TILE BUILDERS' STRIKE.

The committee of the masons' society yesterday
received a reply from the council of the Society of
Architects to the memorial sent to that body on
Monday last, offering to submit their case to the
arbitration of the council. In their reply the coun-
cil say they are willing to take upon themselves the
responsibility of arbitrating on the question, pro-
vided that both parties agree to refer to them, and
he bound by their decision ; that they have commu-
nicated with the master builders, but have not as
yet received any reply.
The building trade being very brisk throughout
the country, great numbers of the London masons
on strike have, we are informed, drawn their tra-
velling cards, End left for country jobs. About 30
left yesterday, Ind altogether upwards of 200 have
left London. A. deputation from the bricklayers'
committee hail an interview with Mr. Myers
yesterday, at his counting-house in the York-road,
for the purpose of ascertaining from that gentle-
man whether ae intended to abide by the decision
said to have been come to by the meeting of mas-
ters on Monday. They were answered in the affir-

mative.
Later in the day, Messrs. Cubitt's and most of
the other large firms posted up public notices at
their works in conformity with the resolution re-
ferred to.
The bricklayers' society have issued a notice call-
ing their men off on Monday morning from all jobs
where the hourly payment is offered t.,) them. 'fhe
carpenters hold a delegate meeting of their trade
this evening, whon the course they shall pursue will
be decided upon. The plasterers will meet on Fri-
day evening for same purpose.

It appears that the purchasers of the India-house
for £155,000 were Mr. Tite, M P.,
Mr. Heywood, Mr.
Kennard, and one or two other capitalists. The intention
is to apply the site in supplying the groat want in the city
of large accommodation for public companies, rooms for
public meetings, &c. A hope is expressed that it may be
possible to a?are the portico, which, although not a first-
rate specimen of taste, is looked upon as a creditable work

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL

There was only a moderate supply of beasts on offer iu
to-day's market. All breeds commanded a steady sale, at
prices fully equal to Monday. The show of sheep was
seasonably good. Downs and half-breds moved off freely,
at full currencies, and the value of long-wools was well sup-
ported. We were well supplied with lambs, which com-
manded full quotations—viz., from 5s 63 to Gs 4d per 81bs.
Owing to the supply being rather extensive, calves were a
dull inquiry, at the late decline in value. There was a
moderate business doing in pigs ; but mulch cows were very
dull at late rates.

MANSION-HOUSE—(Tilts DAY).
This morning Johann Karl Franz, a German, who is
suspected of being one of the murderers of Mrs. Halliday,
was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Humphrey,
charged with being in a house with intent to commit a
felony. . .

Mr. Superintendent Coward, of the Surrey constabulary,
in whose district the crime was committed, stated that he
had reason to suspect that the prisoner was one of the parties
the police had been in search for. He then recapitulated
the facts, which will be found in another part of our paper,
and applied for the custody of the prisoner so that he might
be taken before the magistrates, in whose district the crime
was committed. It was arranged that the prisoner should
be remanded until to-morrow for the production of the wit-
nesses who could speak to his identity as being one of the
persons seen in the vicinity of the murder on the day in
question.

• LAW INTELLIGENCE—(7Ics Day).

BOLLS COURT.
(Before the Master of the Ras.)
JUDGMENT.--VYVYAN V. VYVYAN.

His Honour the Master of the Rolls said the question
raised in this case is whether the daughter of the deceased
W. C. Vyvyan or the defendant Mrs. Little is entitled to
the sum of £2,000, one half of a rent charge of £4,000
created on the estate of the plaintiff by W. C. Vyvyan in
1809. His Honour, on considering the terms of the seve-
ral deeds creating the rent charge, decided in favour of Miss
Vyvyan for £2,000, with costs, to be paid by the defendant
Mrs. Little, and ordered the deeds in question to be de-
livered up to the plaintiff.

will be necessary to shore her up before the expe-
riments can be commenced, and yesterday and the
previous day workmen at Chatham Dockyard were
occupied in constructing a powerful frame to be
used in assisting to " right" her. During the ex-
periments every description of projectile is to be
used against the iron plates :and the sides of the
Hussar.
The, principal portion of the reinforcements which
are being sent out to Canada was embarked on
Tuesday afternoon on board the Great Eastern, at
anchor in the Mersey. The remainder of the troops
had not arrived in Liverpool, and therefore the em-
barkation of detachments of the 60th Rifles and
17th Infantry, which were conveyed from Ireland
in two steam vessels, did not take place until their
arrival in the Mersey yesterday morning. Imme-
diately upon their arrival, the vessels were taken
alongside the leviathan ship, and the troops speedily
transferred to her. In addition to the officers who
are in command of the various regiments, there
were also on board the Great Eastern, yesterday,
General Sir G. Wetherall and Col. Wilbraham,
C.B. The arrangements which have been made on
board the " big ship" for the accommodation of the
soldiers appear to be very comprehensive and effec-
tive. Contrary to the usual custom in the case of
Government transports, the berths in the Great
Eastern run transversely, instead of parallel to the
ship's sides. The commodious deck of the vessel
has admitted of superior arrangements for the re-
ception of horses, of which she carries out a consi-
derable number. The stalls have been fixed on
the after part of the deck, running in double tiers
fore and aft, and by this means ample room is
afforded to the animals, while no obstruction is
offered to the perambulation of the deck. The em-
barkation of the troops was effected with great
celerity and without the slightest mishap by means
of the steam tenders and lighters of the Cunard
Company, the use of which was placed at the dis-
posal of the Admiralty agent at Liverpool, by Mr.
C. M'lver, of that company. It was generally be-
lieved that the Great Eastern would sail from the
Mersey for Quebec yesterday afternoon; and, in
anticipation of seeing the huge ship steam down
the river, thousands of spectators had assembled on
the piers and landing stages. They were, however,
disappointed, for the Great Eastern did not take

pIPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
I. After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be ent rely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian corn,
linseed, &c., at £l6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 3lbs.,
at the cost of 4c1., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 7d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16e. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than
21 cwt. sold at the manufactory, and orders must be accom-
panied with cheques crossed, made payable to the inventor,
JOSEPH THO RLEY. Steam Mills, Caledonian-road,
Icing's-cross, April 8, 1861.
Single barrels, weighing 1/ cwt., may be had for 305., at 77,
Newgate-street, City, or of any of my accredited Agents in
the country.

[LEFT SPEAKING.]

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tms EVENING.)
The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.
PRIVATE BUSINESS.
The Lords' amendment to the London and North-
Western Railway (Eccles and Wigan) Bill were con-
sidered and agreed to.
The following bills were read a third time and passed :
Brecon and Merthyr Tydfil Junction Railway (New Lines,
&c. ); Bristol Channel Pilotage ; Chard and Taunton
Railway ; Galway Harbour ; Lambeth Bridge ; Llanslly
Railway and Dock (New Lines, &c.); London, Chatham,
and Dover Railway (Deviations, &c.) ; North British and
Peebles Railway Companies ; Shireoaks District Church ;
Swansea Harbour Trust, Swansea Vale Railway, Waveney
Valley Railway, West Hartlepool Harbour Railway (Ca-
pital, &c.), eston super Mare Gas, Wivenhoe and Bright-
lingsea Railway Bills.
MOLD AND DENBIGH JUNCTION RAILWAY
BILL.
On the motion for the third reading of this bill, which
was opposed,
Lord Rd. GROSVENOR moved that the standing order
172 should be suspended, and that the bill be read a third
time.

After some discussion, the motion was agreed to, and
he bill was accordingly read a third time and passed.
NEWCASTLE-UPON-TYNE, DERWENT, AND
WEARDALE RAILWAY BILL.

On the motion for the consideration of this bill,
Mr. H. WOODS moved as an amendment that clause 48
should be omitted, in order to facilitate the traffic of the
neighbourhood of the railway. He complained that the
consignors and consignees had not been fairly repre-
sented by those who appeared on behalf of the
mining interest. The chief evidence was that tendered on
behalf of the railway companies interested. He thought
that the bill should be referred to a select committee.

Mr. M. GIBSON opposed the motion, but solely on the
ground that, if it was adopted, it would have the effect of
throwing out the bill this session, as it would prevent its
reaching the House of Lords in time to be considered ac-
cording to the stinding orders of the house. He sug-
gested that tho proper course to pursue would be for the
promoters to meet and agree to the alterations proposed,
and to have them introduced in the House of Lords.
After some discussion the amendment was withdrawn,
and the bill was considered and ordered for third reading.
THE CENSUS IN IRELAND.

In answer to Sir F. lIEYGATE,
Mr. CARDWELL said the result of the census in Ire-
land, similar to that lately furnished for England and
Wales, would be prepared by the middle of July, and
would, he believed, contain very valuable and accurate in-
formation.
REMOVAL OF IRISH AND SCOTCH POOR.

In reply to Sir F. HEYGATE,
Mr. VILLIERS hoped the hon, member would defer
his question until to-morrow, when he would be in a better
position to answer it.

The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex

ness has now become the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently exercised, must animate all Governments, or all

ciples."

"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
" This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in a plain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de-
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

7HE NEW LORD CHANCELLOR,

The ceremony of swearing in the new Lord
Chancellor took place this morning in the Court of
Chancery, Lincoln's-inn-Fields.
For some time previous to the opening of the
court a large number of persons assembled in front
of the doors, on the opening of which for the admis-
sion of the public a "rush" took place similar
in all respects to that experienced on en-
tering the pit of a theatre on the even-
ing of some extraordinary performance. But
the success that invariably attends the playgoer,
with respect to the choice of seat, did not crown the
efforts of the anxious visitors to the Court of Chan-
cery. After submitting to the crush for some time,
and by dint of hard struggling obtaining admission
to the court, it was only to discover that some
backstair influence had been at work, for the whole
of the positions from which a view of the ceremony
could be obtained were found to be fully occupied
by those who possessed " friends in court."
At a quarter past ten the Lord Chancellor,Lords
Justices Knight Bruce and Turner, the Master of
the Rolls, Sir John Romilly, Vice-Chancellor Sir
Richard Kindersley, Vice-Chancellor Sir William
Page Wood, and other officials, entered the court,
and the Chancellor having taken his place on the
bench,
The Clerk of the Crown administered the oath
to the noble and learned lord, which he repeated
with great distinctness. The oath;set forth that jus-
tice should be administered to the utmost, that her
Majesty should be defended against all conspiracies
or other proceedings touching the safety and dignity
of her crown.
The motion that the oath just taken be recorded
having been ordered,
The Lord Chancellor then made the declaration
that he would exercise the duties of his office to the
best of his ability, that he would do nothing to in-
jure the Protestant Church as by law established,
or disturb the bishops in the exercise of those
rights and privileges which the law of the land had
entrusted them with.

This closed the ceremony, which did not occupy
above seven or eight minutes.
The Lord Chancellor appeared to be in the best
of spirits, and, as a silk gownsman in the crowd
observed, looked like a man who was not at all dis-
pleased with his position.

It is said in the Chancery Courts that Mr. Justice
Hill will retire from the Court of Queen's Bench,
and that Sir William Atherton will be elevated to
the Bench.
The two offices of Attorney and Solicitor, vacant
by such an arrangement, will, it is most likely, be
conferred upon Mr. Roundell Palmer and Mr.
Collier.
