House, would impede rather than facilitate the transac-
tions of public business. He intended to make the state-
ment on Friday next, but in the meantime it was abso-
lutely necessary that some votes should be given on ac-

count of the array estimates, as on account of the fi►

year having ceased this day, no money could be paid out
of the Exchequer until the votes had been made by
the House.—Mr. ELLIS entreated the honourable
member for Montrose not to press his motion.—
Mr. W. WILLIAMS and Mr. W. C. CRAWFORD sup-
ported the motion, urging that it would be sufficient
to overcome the difficulty stated by the CHANCELLOR of

After some discussion the motion was withdr4wn, and the
house went into committee of supply upon the army esti

mates ; on the motion that £3,521,070 be voted to defray
the charge of maintaining the land forces. Mr. HUME
moved as an amendment that £2,000,000 be voted on
account. In the course of the discussion which followed,
Mr. HUME protested against the favouritism displayed in
the pay of the Life Guards, and against the charge of
£11,870 for the expenses of the troops necessary to
garrison the Gold Coast lately

..-enmark.--Air. Fox- MAULE defended the
constitution of the Life Guards, who received no
higher pay than the other troops, and had been
found very useful in cases of sudden emergency.—
After a long descussion, in which Colonel Dunne and
Reide, Messrs. V. Smith, Mowatt, and other hon. mem-
bers engaged, the motion was put to the vote and nega-

moved that the estimate be reduced by £81,152. After
a short discussion, the committee divided and the motion
was lost by 84 to 15. The vote was then agreed to.—On
the vote of £159,952 to defray the expenses of the staff,
Mr. HUME complained of the maintenance of so large
a staff in a tranquil country in time of peace.

LEFT SITTING,

THE GREAT EXHIBITION-ANOTHER STRIKE

At 9 30 this morning, the painters and carpenters
showed great disinclination to proceed with their work.

but that on last Saturday the half hours during the week
were deducted from each man. No strike was expected,
and the consequence was that nearly all the men had left
the building before that hour.

MISS TALBOT'S CASE.—COURT OF CHANCERY.
Mr. Rolt resumed his arguments on behalf of Dr.
Doyle, and they occupied the whole day. The Lord
Chancellor remarked that the Bishop of Clifton's letter
was a most extraordinary one, as he stated distinctly that
Miss Talbot went to the convent to become a Postulant,
and the affidavits attested the contrary. His Lordship

had evinced no rej

to the marriage proposed to her, but the contrary ; and
his objection to the marriage was that the gentleman had
not a fortune equal to that of the young lady's and he
was not satisfied with the answers he had received.

NATIONAL BANK OF IRELAND.—A special meeting
was held to-day. Messrs. W. Atwood and Edward Flet-
cher were elected directors.

PARIS, MONDAY.-Th€ Siecle states that very proba-
bly a new ministry will be announced in the Moniteur of
Monday, but the truth of the statement is doubted. The
news of further disturbances at Fribourg, in Switzerland,
was incorrect. The entire frontier on the French side of
Switzerland is perfectly tranquil, although agitators are
not idle. The Fives are quoted at 94 5.
ITALY.—A Turin paper of the 26th states, that the
celebrated Brigand Passatore, has fallen in a skirmish
with the Papal troops.
The Vienna Gazette has a letter from Rhodes of the
7th, stating that the earthquake was not confined to that
island alone, but was severly felt on the Asiatic continent
opposite. Five towns and fifteen villages were heaps of
ruins, and five to six hundred people had fallen victims.

The English Market has been steady all day, closing without
change in quotations, with little doing.
Railway shares extremely heavy in the morning, and there
was evidently a reduction on Saturday's quotations, but to-
wards the close the market revived, and prices may be quoted
somewhat better than at the lowest of the day. The account of
the 27th has not yet been settled. A few sellers of money
stock still about.
