LONDON, MONDAY NIGHT
CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT.
The Recorder; in delivering his charge to the Grand
Jury, congratulated them on the lightness of the calendar.
The great concourse of visitors to the metropolis had
made no increase in crime. With respect to the reports
of foreigners visiting this country, not for the purpose of
witnessing the exhibition but for other purposes, he was
unable to find the case of a single foreigner charged with
any offence. Instead of any increase of offences, there
had been a decrease.

TfIE GREAT EXHIBITION.—Her Majesty visaed the
exhibition this morning. Up to 5 o'clock 62,213 persons
had entered. The weather was beautiful.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-LAST NIGHT,

Their lordships assembled this evening for the first time
after the Whitsuntide holidays. The Lord Chancellor took his
seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Lord BROUGHAM pre-
sented, and strenuously supported a petition from a party
aggrieved, complaining of the vexations delays of the Court of
Chancery. The Duke of Alios LE moved the third reading of
the Public-houses Scotland Bill. The Earl of MINT° opposed
the bill, and moved that it be read a third time that day six
months. Lord KINNA IRD and the Earl of EGLINTON having
spoken in support of the bill, the amendment was negatived after
a discussion, and the bill was read a third time. Various peti-
tions were presented and several private bilis advanced a stage.
Their lordships adjourned at twenty minutes after six.

HOUSE OF COMMONS.—LAST NIGHT.
The Speaker took the chair at four o'clock. The lords amend-
ments to the St. Andrew's Railway Bill were considered and
agreed to. The Trinity College Dublin Bill, the Wicklow Har-
bour Bill, and several other measures were read the third time
and moved.—Mr. LA BOUCH ERE stated in answer to a question
from Mr. Saunders, that in a few days he hoped to bring in a
bill for the amendment of the mercantile marine act.—Lord J.
Ittssi:m. in reply to a question from Air. Bright, held out no
hope of reduction in the number of juf'ges upon the
Scotch bench.—ln reply to a question from Mr. J.
Stuart, Lord JOHN RUSSELL stated that it was not
his intention to suspend the operations of the Oxford Uni-
versity Commission in consequence of the opinions lately given
of the alleged illegality of that commission.—Sir G. GREY
stated, in answer to Mr. Cowan, that he had not yet received
the report of Sir John 'Macneill upon the destitution prevailing
in the Island of Skye.—Mr. DISRAELI gave notice that he
should not, neither would his honourable friends, oppose the
second reading of the Customs' Bill, or that of the Inhabited
House Duty Bill, but that in going into committee he would
move an amendment which would bring under consideration
the general financial policy of the Government.—Some discus-
sion took place on this subject between Lord J. RUSSELL, Mr.
DISRAELI, the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, Mr. NEW-
DEGATE, and Mr. liumE, at the end of which the Customs'
Duty Bill was read the second time without debate, and the
committee appointed for Monday.--Lord JOHN RUSSELL then
moved the second reading of the Inhabited House Duty Bill,
which was agreed to without a division. The committee upon
the Customs Bill and the Inhabited House Duty Bill was fixed
for Monday, but with an intimaton that another day would be
named.—The house then went into committee of supply upon
the miscellaneous estimates. Upon the motion of .97,740 for
the maintenance of royal palaces and public buildings, Mr.
HUME asked whether it was intended to continue the encroach-
ment upon the Kensington Gardens after the time fixed for
closing the Great Exhibition'—Lord J. RUSSELL said it was no•.
—Mr. Il UM E proceeded to criticise the estimates before the
house. He objected to the public being called upon to pay for
the repair of the buildings inhabited by persons who lived rent
free. Accused the dean and chapter of Windsor of appropriating
to their own use the property of the military knights, and
strongly urged the necessity of submitting in future the mis-
cellaneous estimates to the scrutiny of a committee.—Col. SAL.
WRY reiterated the charge against the dean and chapter, which
gave rise to a short discussion on the subject, after which the
vote was agreed to. The following estimates were also allowed
after short discussions, in which Mr. HUME, Loril.DuNcAN,
Mr. BRIGHT, Mr. WILLIAMS, and the CHANCELLOR of the
ExcHEQUEIC were the principal speakers, .118,829 for defray-
ing the expenses of the royal parks.

members of the family have been arrested.
MADRID 10T11.-A. naval division was ordered to be
equipped in all haste at Cadiz, to proceed to the Tagus,
and to remain on observation on the station. A feeling of
quiet but sullen disposition continues to exist throughout
the country, which is not likely to abate, but rather to
assume a dangerous form on the very first:opportuniry, nor
indeed could it be otherwise after the deep impressions
produced by the stipulations in the concordat with the.
Pope.
