Amotion by Lord BEAINIONT for correspondence re-
specting the law of the State of South Carolina on coloured
seamen arriving in port was agreed to, and their lordships
adjourned. THURSDAY, JUNE 16TH. _ _ _

THE CAPE CONSTITUTION.—In answer to Lord Pan-
mure, the Duke of NEWCASTLE described the alterations
made by the present government in the constitution of
the Cape of Good Hope sent out by Earl Grey. The
franchise had been reduced from £5O to £25 ; the qualifi-
cation of members of the Legislative Council had been
raised from £l,OOO to £2,000; but the principal alteration
was that the colonists were empowered to amend the con-
stitution themselves from time to time, with the assent of
the Crown.

THE SALT•TAX (INDIA).—The Earl of ALBEMARLE
presented a petition from certain inhabitants of Man-
chester. complaining of the salt duty levied in the British
territories in India, and praying that it might be reduced,
and he complained that the return which he had moved
for on this subject had not yet been presented.
The Lands Improvement Company Bill (No. 2) was
read a second time, after some discussion, and referred to
a select committee.
ENCUMBERED ESTATES COURT.—The LORD-CHAN-
CELLOR brought up a bill for continuing the Encumbered
Estates Court in Ireland, which would contain amend-
ments, and which he proposed should continue in force
for two years. The bill was read a first time.
After some discussion between Lords Bacot:GRAM and
CArnrrin.., on County Court &ea, their Lordships
adjourned.

FRIDAY, JUNE 17

THE BISHOPRIC or SYDNEY.—In answer to Lord
REDESDALE, the Duke of NEWCASTLE said that he had
abstained from recommending her Majesty to fill up the
see, as some arrangement was in contemplation for mak-
ing some changes with respect to the bishopric.
THE IRISH SOLICITOR-GENERAL.—The Marquis of
`WESTMEATH proceeded to support the charges which he
had made against Mr. Keogh, of having made use of cer-
tain violent language at a meeting in the town of Moate,
in Westmeath, on the occasion of the Athlone election,
the effect of which was to incite the mob to take ven-
geance on their opponents in " the dark nights" which
were coming on. He concluded by moving for a select
committee to inquire into the subject.—The Duke of
NEWCASTLE opposed the motion, on the ground that
such accusations were easily made against any innocent
person, and, if tolerated, their lordships would have their
whole time occupied in similar investigations. He thought
the character of the Solicitor-General for Ireland quite
unassailable, whether by the pointed shafts of the Earl of
Eglinton or the rusty bolts from the battered quiver of
the Marquis of Westmeath.—After some further discus-
sion, Lord BROUGHAM said if there was anything in the
case at all, it was one to be decided by a criminal court,
and not by that house, which was not the proper place for
such an inquiry.—The motion was ultimately withdrawn,
and the house adjourned.
MONDAY, JUNE 20.

Their Lordships did not meet to-day, owing to its being
the anniversary of Her INlajcsty's accession to the throne.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY, JUNE 14.
PETITIONS. Mr. CHARLES TURNER presented a
petition from the journeymen upholsterers and the white-
smiths and general smiths of the borough of Liverpool,
in favour of the Combination of Workmen Bill, and Mr.
T. PARKER presented three petitions from Preston to the
same effect.—Mr. PILKINGTON presented a petition from
the chairman, trustees, and managers of the Blackburn
Victoria Building Society, against the Registration of
Assurances Bill.

POSTAGE AT PANAMA.--In reply to a question, Mr.
WILSON said that in May, 1847, a convention was con-
chided between the State of New Grenada and the British
Government, by which a stipulation was made that the
postal bags should be conveyed across the Isthmus of
Panama at the sole charge of the British Government for
a sum of 2 reals, or about Is. per ounce. That conven-
tion, which it was then considered a great privilege for
the British Government to obtain, was still in existence ;
and he was unaware that any means were being taken to
bring it to a conclusion.
CUSTOMS' REFORM.—In answer to a question when
the bill to regulate the collection of the Customs' revenue
would be submitted to the house, the CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER said, that the delay which bad taken
place had not been unnecessarily or wantonly incurred,
and that every effort had been made to prepare it. It
was now within a few days of being actually completed,
and it would be laid on the table of the house not later
than in the course of next week.
HARWICH ELECTION.—A motion for a new writ for
Harwich, in the room of Mr. Peacocke, was opposed,
but after considerable discussion it was carried by a
majority of 249 to 104.

THE '
BALLOT.-Mr H. BERKELEY once more moved
for leave to bring in a bill to protect electors by causing
votes at parliamentary elections to be taken by ballot.
After a long speech he i•glled upon the house to restore
to the people a chartern right, to which they were as
much entitled as to the enjoyment of the sun's rays.—
In the course of the subsequent discussion, Mr. SIDNEY
HERBERT denied that the ballot would prevent intimida-
tion either in England or in Ireland ; and as to bribery,
if it were desired to aggravate bribery, he should say,
resort to the ballot, which would hold out an inducement
to the candidate to bribe and cast a convenient mantle
over the dishonest voter, whom it would effectually screen
from detection.—Mr. COBDEN spoke at some length in
support of the motion, as did also Sir ROBERT PEEL:
Lord JOHN RUSSELL spoke against the motion, and upon
a division it was negatived by 234 to 174.
SOAP DUTY.—An attempt was made to go into com-
mittee on the Soap Duties, but it was resisted, and the
house counted out at half-past two o'clock.

WEDNESDAY, JUNE 15.
PETITIONS.—Mr. Corn Err presented a petition from
the mechanics of Oldham in favour of the Combination of
Workmen Bill.—Mr. ASPINALL presented a petition from
Clitheroe, and Mr. DRUMMOND from the boot and shoe-
makers of Liverpool, to the same effect. —Mr. J. B.
SMITH presented a petition from Stockport, praying that
the house would present an address to her Majesty to use
her good offices to induce Austria and France to withdraw
their troops from the Roman States.—Mr. BARNES pre-
sented a petition from articled law students of Bolton,
against the proposal to reduce the stamp duties on articles
of clerkship.—sir G. STRICKLAND presented a petition
from Preston, for closing public-houses and beer-shops
on Sundays.
ELECTIONS BILL.—The house having resolved itself
into a committee on the Elections Bill, was occupied for
some time in considering its clauses, some of which were
postponed, and the rest agreed to, with amendments.
SALE OF LAND.—The Sale and Purchase of Land
Bill was read a second time, and, on the motion of Mr.
Drummond, was referred to the Select Committee on the
Registration of Assurances Bill.

IRISH LEASES.—The house went into committee on
the Leasing Powers (Ireland) Bill, the details of which
had not been got through at the approach of six o'clock,
and the Chairman was ordered to report progress.
The Combination of Workmen Bill was read a third
time and passed.
SOAP DUTY.—The house went into committee upon
the soap duties, when a resolution, to tbe effect that the
Excise duties upon soap should cease, was agreed to and
reported, and leave was given to bring in a bill.
Mr. FRENCH obtained leave to bring in a bill to
establish seamen's savings banks.
THURSDAY, JUNE 16.
PETITIONS.—Mr. THICKN ESSE presented a petition from
the tailors of Wigan, and Mr. F. PEEL from the journey-
men tailors of Bury, in favour of the Combination of Work-
men Bill.—Mr. F. PEEL presented a petition from the
CommercialA
R E s fromße henefittßudyrdeientgors of theSoeiety Bofßanuk fryo,aßndoltt Inr;
T. BARNES
against the Registration of Assurances Bill.

ADVERTISEMENT DUTY.—In answer to a question,
the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the
Government had no intention of proposing any change
whatever with respect to the duties on advertisements
except the reduction from Is. Gd. to Gd.
THE LATE GOVERNMENT.—Mr. KEOGH entered into
a lengthened statement to prove that Lord Naas had
asked him last year if he would accept office under Lord
Derby, if an offer were made to him that effect. He
declared that he had an interview with the noble lord at
his own house. The Derby administration was then in
course of formation, and the noble lord, notwithstanding
the denial of Lord Derby in another place, said he had the
authority of Major Beresford to ask if he (Mr. Keogh)
would accept office in the new government. He replied
in the negative ; and subsequently, having made some
opposition to Mr. Disraeli, he was taken to task by Major
Beresford for ingratitude, seeing that an offer had been
made to him which he had declined.—Lord .NAAs did
not deny the interview ; but he did most distinctly deny
the construction that was attempted to be put upon it.
He never made an offer of office to the hon. and learned
gentleman ; but he did ask him whether he would accept
office if an offer were made to him ; and the reply was, not
that the question appeared to him to be a jest, as he had
asserted, but that he and his friends having assisted Lord
Derby's party in overthrowing his predecessors, he ex-
pected such an offer would be made.—After father dis-
cussion, which occupied the greater part of the sitting,
the subject dropped.
TAX ON SUCCESSIONS.—On the order for going into
committee on the Succession Duty Bill, Sir W. JOLIF FE
urged, upon various grounds, the postponement of the
committee.—The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER de-
clined to consent to a proposal which lie considered to be
at variance with an understanding as to the course to be
taken with the bill.—Tae house went into cornmitiez'
and on reaching the seventh clause, the Chairman was
ordered to report progress.

Scorer,' SHERIFFS' COURTS.—The house went into
committee upon the Sheriffs' Courts (Scotlimd) Bill,
some clauses of which were passed, when the Charman
reported progress.

other bills were advanced a stage, and the lice
adjourned at half-past one o'clock.
FRIDAY JUNE 17.
,

PETITIONS.—Mr. CROOK presented a petit;on from the
Philanthropic Society of Journeymen Millwrights of Dot-
ton, in favour of the Combination of Workmen Bill.--
Mr. TOLLEMACHE presented a petition from the inhabi-
tants of Nantwich, and the neighbourhood, in favour of
an ocean penny pos'age ; also from the salt trade of
Cheshire, praying that the House of Commons will inter-
fere, and not allow the present high rate of duty to bc im;

posed on salt in:lndia.—Mr. COBBETT presented petitions
against the Registration Assurances Bill, from the trustees
and managers of five building societies in Oldham.
OCEAN PENNY POSTAGE.—The CHANCELLOR of the
EXCHEQUER said, in answer to Mr. Adderley, that the
subject of Ocean Penny Postage was under the considera-
tion of the Government.
GOVERNMENT OF INDIA.—In reply to a question
whether the Legislative Council, which it is intended to
appoint in India, will be a Council open to the public, or
having its proceedings made known by being reported to
the public, Sir CHARLES WOOD replied that he did not
propose to make any compulsory arrangement on the
subject.
SUCCESSION DUTY.—The house went into committee
on the Succession Duties Bill. A long discussion took
place upon several of the clauses, to which some verbal
amendments were proposed, but on arriving at the 22d
clause, the chairman reported progress, and the house
resumed.
IRISH SPIRITS.—On the motion for the third reading
of the Spirits Duties Bill, Mr. CONOLLY moved that the
bill be read a third time that day six months.—The
CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion.—
After a warm discussion, in the course of which several
Irish members protested against the employment of the
constabulary force as spies, under the revenue collectors,
it was proposed that the debate be adjourned, upon which
the house divided, when the numbers were—for the
adjournment, 34 ; against it, 113 ; majority, 73.—The
discussion was accordingly resumed, but without any
practical result, Lord NAAS having moved that the house
do adjourn, which was resisted by Sir J. YOUNG and Lord
JOHN RUSSELL, amidst loud cries of " Question," and
"Adjourn." The house divided—For the adjournment,
28 ; against, 109: majority, 81, The debate was once
more resumed, and, after a most clamorous converse-
tian, Lord JOHN RUSSELL assented to the adjournment;
but when the question was put by the Speaker, it was
anwered by a vociferous shout of " No," upon which
another division was called for. The numbers were—
For the adjournment, 21 ; against, 103 : majority, 82.
The debate was once more resumed, the house being in
the most inconceivable state of excitement and confusion.
Mr. BOWYER suggested that the bill be now read a third
time, reserving the consideration of the employment of
the police force to a future time.—The CHANCELLOR of
the EXCHEQUER hoped that the house would maintain
the rule that a minority should yield to a majority, and
observed that by agreeing to the third reading of the bill
the house would not pledge itself to the machinery.—Col.
DUNNE once more moved the adjournment of the house.
The motion was negatived, and the bill was read a third
time, but not passed.
NEW WRITS were ordered for the boroughs of Durham
and Peterborough, and the house adjourned at half-past
three o'clock.
[BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.]
MONDAY, JUNE 20.
The House met at four o'clock.
TRADE LICENSES.
In reply to Mr. Plum,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said it was im-
possible for him to give any pledge absolutely with regard
to the course Government intended to take in reference
to licenses upon trades. It might be found expedient to
revise the whole system of licenses, but the course Go-
vernment would adopt depended upon the course taken
by the house with other questions affecting the revenue.
If no alterations were made by the house, it might be in
the power of the Government to dispense with any pro-
posal at this time with regard to licenses. The Bill for
the repeal of the stamp duty was prepared, and he pro-
posed to take a stage to-night.
SAVINGS' BANKS.
Mr. MALINS appealed to the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer to postpone the committee on the Savings' Banks'
Bill, in order to afford to parties interested further time
for its consideration. He submitted that delay was
necessary, as no statement had been made of its provi-
sions, and he suggested that there should be a week's
delay.
The CHANCELLOR Of the EXCHEQUER said the request
was a reasonable one, and he should have no objection to
pc stpone the committee for a fortnight.
JANIAICA.
Sir J. PAKINGTON, after alluding to the financial crisis
in Jamaica, asked whether it was intended to propose any
changes in the constitution of the island, and especially
with reference to the financial powers now vested in the
House of Assembly.
Lord J. RUSSELL said despatches which had been
received on this subject were now under the serious consi-
deration of this government. It might not be necessary
to come to parliament ,for additional powers, the whole
subject was under consideration, and in a short time the
Duke of Newcastle would state in the other house, and
probably he should state in this, the plans the govern-
ment proposed to meet the existing crisis.
LAW OF MORTMAIN.
In reply to Mr. Craven Berkeley,
Lord J. RUSSELL could not name a time when the
Government would be prepared to lay a bill on the table
to alter and amend the law of mortmain, according to the
recommendation of the select committee. The subject
required serious consideration.
TURKEY AND GREECE.
Colonel DUNNE said that there was a dispute between
Turkey and Greece, relative to certain villages on the
frontiers of the two countries, which were claimed by
Turkey. He wished to know whether any arbitration on
this subject had been referred to this country.
Lord J. RUSSELL said there had been no arbitration on
the subject. The Greeks resolved to dispute the claims of
Turkey, and send a force for the purpose of resisting the
attempts of Turkey to take possession. The English
ambassador, however, in concurrence with the representa-
tives of the other Powers, intimated to Turkey their wish
that force should not be resorted to until the whole ques-
tion be considered by Great Britain, France, and Prussia.
Those Powers, after considering the whole question, had
decided unanimously that, according to the settlement of
1832, the villages rightly belonged to Turkey; and, on the
expression of that opinion the claims of the Greek govern-
ment were withdrawn.
SUCCESSIONwentn o ccommittee
mD
tTt
eYe
The house then on the Succession
Duty Bill.
On clause 20, which enacts that the interests of succes-
sion to real property shall be treated as an annuity,
Sir FITZROY KELLY objected to the clause as calculated
to inflict great injustice, but the Chancellor of the
Exchequer declining to entertain the objection, he gave
notice that he should draw further attention to it in a
subsequent stage.
Mr. WteetAms, on the other hand, complained that
too many concessions had been made to owners of land
and property.
Mr. AGLIONBY was at a loss to perceive where these
concessions were to be found.
Clause agreed to.
Clause 21, which relates to the valuation of timber on
an estate, gave rise to some discussion, but it was purely
technical, and therefore uninteresting in its character.
Sir J. TROLLOPE moved the omission of so much of
the clause as related to the mode of valuing timber.
On a division, the amendment was carried by 153 to 150.
Mr. MULLINGS moved that the chairman report pro-
gress, and the committee divided, after a brief discussion,
when the motion was negatived by 157 to 119.
Mr. COBDEN objected to making any exemption in favour
of timber, and in the name of those parties who had no
timber, protested against the exemption.
After some further discussion the chairman was directed
to report progress, and the house resumed.

MR. RooKE, a London contractor, has offered to give
the Great Western Company £6OOO a year to carry " the
ashes of the inhabitants of Bristol" to Drayton clay-pits,
to make bricks.

A NEW DOCTRlNE.—Chambers, this month, states that
there is an old lady in America who believes it to be the
Bible doctrine that " for seven years before the end of the
world no children are to be born ; and that gives her
comfort ; for, at every fresh birth she hears of, she says
to herself, ' Well : the seven years, at least, have not
begun yet.' "

SINGULAR DISCOVERY.-A poor man lately produced
at the Aylesbury branch of the London and County Bank,
a Bank of England note for £25, dated 80 years back.
Twenty-five years since he married, and his wife's mother
gave them some old books, upon recently turning over
which he found in one of them the note. At compound
interest it amounted to £1,400. It was paid by the bank.

SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

MANCHESTER: FRIDAY

There has not been much doing this week. Yesterday, the
Coomburland Stathesmoni_ for the Northumberland Plate
(about whom 20 to I was offered on Tuesday). was again intro-
duced, and without much outlay closed at 7 to I; but, owing
to the scantiness of the attendance, we could not consider that
a fair market price. Garforth, for the same event, who has
for some time been nominally in the betting at 100 to 7. was
backed at as low as Bto 1. To-day there was no great eager.
ness shown to back the Stathesmon ; and Colsterdale, who has
this last day or two looked unhealthy in the market, showed
symptoms of improvement. A few investments brought the
Liverpool Cup into notice. .A fewinquiries were made about
the Goodwood Stakes, and any advance upon 10 to 1 would
have been taken about Sextus, which price was offered on the
field. There was a further advance in favour of West Austra-
lian for the St. Leger. Latest prices :

peror, after winning the Innkeepers' Plate, at Hampton, on

naged to abstract a purse from the pocket of Captain Lahal-

force, borrowing his gold watch at the same time.
After the race for the Londesborough Stakes, at Beverley, on
Wednesday last, an objection was made against Galileo, the
winner, receiving the stakes, on account of carrying 21b. over
the proper weight. On Lord Wenlock, the steward, investiga-
ting the case, it appeared that the second and third horses
were owned by the same party ; be, therefore, declared the
race to be void.

MARKETS.

MARKETS FOR MANUFACTURES.

MANcHESTBR.—The downward tendency of prices which
prevailed lan week has been arrested, and, in some instances,
the decline then submitted to has been recovered. This im-
provement is attributable, in part, to less apprehension being
entertained as to the probability of a Russo-Turkish war ,•
to the gradual hardening of the Liverpool cotton market, and
the knowledge that, inanimate as the market has latterly
seemed, there has been no accumulation of stocks, whilst the
turn outs of operatives which have already taken place, and
others that are threatened, must of necessity further reduce
the available production. Producers, aware of this, are less
disposed to take orders, excepting at extreme rates. Buyers,
on the other hand, have been more desirous to give out orders,
a feeling prevailing that present prices are a safe basis from
which to operate.. There has been an extended business for export,
whilst the very seasonable weather we have latterly experienced
has induced the home houses, in consequence of the improved
prospects of the crops, to continue to be active purchasers. A
very healthy demand continues from the home houses, and in
printing cloths considerable purchases continue to be made.
The Stockport turn-out continues, without any advance so far
towards a satisfactory solution. In many other districts the
hands only seem to be waiting to see what turn the present
proceedings at Stockport may take, previously to themselves
urging an advance of wages.
ROCHDALE.—The market has been quiet and very little
doing. This is generally a slack month, as it is too early for
the commencement. of winter orders. The wool dealers are
very willing to sell at the old prices.
LEEDS.—We have had improved markets at our Cloth Halls,
in comparison with the markets of the last few weeks, and a
full average quantity of goods have changed hands by direct
deliveries out of the Halls. Prices are without any altera-
tion; the stocks are low, and the mills continue in full em-
ployment. There has also been rather more business done in
the warehouses by the home trade houses than for the last few
weeks; and the business doing by the foreign houses, in the
heavier kind of goods,. continues active. On the whole,
business is brisker than is usually the case at Midsummer.
BRADFORD.—WooI: there is no material alteratiou since
our last. The spinners buy very sparingly—the prices com-
pletely put them out of the market. Noils and brokes com-
mand ready sale.—Yarns are more inquired for by the shippers,
but their limits, if accepted, would be ruinous to the spinner.
For the home trade, on spools, there ls no change in demand
or prices.—Pieces : the tone is rather more cheerful, but the
prices offered are most miserable for plain goods. In fancies
there seems an uncertainty as to what will go; robes are looked
upon with jealousy for quantity, and caution requires to be
exercised.

HA LI FAX.—The threatening aspect of the political world has
made even this dull market duller than it was ; and there is
very little demand for any description of worsted goods. Yarns
continue much the same. There is but little doing in Wool,
and the quotations are much as they were. The new clip has
not, so far, had any noticeable effect upon prices.
NorriNoHAm.—Orders for hosiery goods for the United
States continue to be received, and these keep those moderately
well employed who are engaged in this branch of our local
manufactures.—The Lace trade, however, is anything but
satisfactory, and so long as fashion continues as at present,
there is not a chance of improvement.—The full price of Yarn
is still maintained, and there is not the most remote appearance
of a reduction taking place for a considerable period.
