Miscellaneous. Txie Court.—Prince Albert...
actlyso , for ladies were expected to pay . A kiss on both cheeks was exacted ; that is to say , from thepietty . The ugly and the simply plain , were let off free . —Aspects of Paris . A Western Packet Station . —There seems to be a strong probability that a line of steam-vessels will be established at Galway , for direct communication-with New York or Boston . The Iiiish Bank Returns . —The last returns show an increase in the circulation , as compared with the preceding month , of 27 , 9497 .
Cbime in Spain . —The Droit gives an account of another dreadful crime in Spain . It says : — Some persons of the village of All > alat , near " Valencia , conceived violent animosity against the Mayor , M . Jlugnoz . A few days ago , as lie was returning from Valencia in a cart , in which were seven persons , three brigands stopped the vehicle near tlie'bridge of Carnix , and ordered him to alight . ' They are going- to kill me !' said Mugnoz , and he refused to move . The brigands
made the other people get out of the vehicle , and seizing Slugnoz , dragged him about twenty yards along the road . There one of the brigands iired a blunderbuss into his heart , and he fell dead ; at the same moment , another fired at him from behind , and the third proceeded to hack his body iu a frightful manner with a hatchet . The seven men who had accompanied the unfortunate Mayor not only offered no resistance , but after the perpetration of the deed allowed the assassins to go quietly away ! '
Cotton from the States . —During the last week > the wind has been very changeful at Liverpool , but on Thursday morning it veered round and blew stiffly from the $ > T . N . W . The consequence was that many vessels lying in the Channel which were unable to come " north about , " availed themselves of the change of wind and made the port . Among these were a large number of cotton sliips , and up to Thursday there had arrived fourteen ships from New Orleans , three from New York , and two from Charleston , all of whicb brought part , if not whole , cargoes of cotton . This sudden influx to the cotton market will , it is hoped , be the means of enlivening it from its present very dull state . India Reforsi . —A private meeting of a few gentlemen interested in India Keform has been held at . the
Committee-rooms of the India Reform Society , to deliberate on the best means of enlightening the public as to the resources of India , and the impediments to the development of those resources . Mr . Bright was in the chair . After considerable discussion , it was resolved that a report of the proceedings of the committee should be drawn up for transmission to India . French Knowledge of the English . — -In announcing the fact that Sir John Pakington , the First Lord of the Admiralty , intended placing vessels belonging to
the Royal Navy at the disposal of men of science , should they require them for the purpose of proceeding to South America to make observations during the great eclipse of the sun , the French scientific journal , Cosmos , falls into a singular error . From the mere remote resemblance that exists between the sounds of the names of Sir John Pakington and Sir Joseph Paxton , the editor commits the ludicious error of attributing the creation of the Crystal Palaces of Hyde Park and Sydenham to the respected gentleman ¦ who now rules the navy . —Mechanics Magazine .

Leadkk Opfick , Saturday , May 29 th . LAST NIGHT'S PARLIAMENT . The House of Lords did not sit . HOUSE OF COMMONS . UAIIVWAY LEGISLATION . Mr . Wilson Pattkn gave notice of his intention to draw attention , to the state of railway legislation . ;; THE L . AS 3 O IN Till ! CAVALRY . Captain VunNON asked the Secretary for War whether he was prepared to recommend tho adoption of the lasso instead of the ordinary hnlter in our cavalry regiments ? —General Pjci'X said that tho plan had been brought forward somo years ago and had been highly approved , and recently it had been ordered that ten men of every troop of cavalry regiments should be trained to the uso of tho lasso . TIIK I'KICSS AT SI 1 CHKA I . KOSK . Mr . RounuoK . said that a newspaper called tho New Eva having criticized tho acts of the Governor had been practically suppressed by him , in consequence of « n edict by which papera - were called on to give sureties , and all the sureties of tho New Era had been rejected . He asked the Secretary for tho Colonies if the Government had taken any steps in the mutter , and whether they intended to rccal the Governor . —Lord Stani . hjy saml that such an ordinance ns hud been stutod had boon passed in Sierra Leono . Ilia attention had been called U > tho case in question , nnd his opinion was that it could not work satisfactorily , and tho Governor had been ordered to repeal it . There w « s no intention of recalling tho Governor .
DRAINAGE OP THE THAMES . Mr . Griffith begged to ask the First Commissioner of Works , whether the principle just put forth by Dr . Odling , the Officer of Health for Lambeth , that the perpetual agitation of the water of- the Thames , and the flax and reflux of the tide , affect the oxidization of decomposing matters to that extent , " that he has never teen able to delect .. sulphuretted , hydrogen in Thames water , " may not be well worthy of further investigation , as offering possibly the means of escaping the hazardous and expensive drainage engineering undertakings that have been under consideration . — Lord John Manners said tliat a commission had l ) een appointed to inquire into tbe subject . THE " CARLISLE EXAMINER . ' '
Mr . Clive stated that the Carlisle Examine ) ' having accused ] him as Chairman of a Railway Committee of partiality , and even of corruption , he had moved that Hudson Scott- and Washington ' YTilks , the printer and publisher , should be called to the bar . He had hoped that in the time which had clapped some apology would have been made , but none had been made , and further defamatory articles had been inserted in -the paper . — Mr DracbMBE rose to order . He said that the hon . gentleman had moved that these parties should be called to the bar on certain articles that had appeared in the paper , and lie did hot think subsequent articles should be read in aggravation . —The Speaker said , it was
impossible for him to say that the hon . member was out of order , as he might found another motion on the articles he -was about to read . — - JMr . Clive said , he only meant to show that the original charges had been reiterated . He moved that Hudson Seott and "Washington Wilks be called in . —These parties were then brought to the bar and examined hy the Speaker and several members as to the publishing of tlie article in question . —Wilks said lie ¦ was aware of ' it , and explained that in his neighbourhood he had been informed that there were strong feelings as to the partiality of the Chairman of the Railway Committee in question , and thought that public notice should be taken of _ the subject . He declined to name the writer , or to withdraw the article . He believed he could show that he was justified morally-in inserting the article . He could only so far withdraw the
imputation on Mr . Clive by publishing his contradiction . One of the facts on which the article was founded was , that Mr . Clive was operating on the Stock Exchange , and that intelligence of the decision of the committee reached tlie Stock Exchange unnaturally soon . He could not give the name of any stockbroker employed by Mr . Clive . He would give the name of his informant privately to Mr . Clive , and if that gentleman was called before the House he could state all that he had stated to him . At present he declined to give up the name of any of his informants . Hudson Scott stated that lie was not 1 he printer . —The Solicitor-General moved that the parties do withdraw . —Mr . Disraeli said ,. that as Wilks had neither withdrawn nor offered to prove his charge , he should move that the said article was a false and scandalous libel on tho chairman and committee of the
railway , and that in . publishing it he had been guilty of a breach of the privileges- of the House , and that ho be committed to the custody of the Serjcant-at-Arms , and that the Speaker ' s warrant do issue accordingly , which motions were agreed to . —Mr , RoicnucK—Ought not something to be done with the other ?—Mr . Disuaeli moved that Hudson Scott be discharged . mr . disraeli's speech ax slough . On the motion for going into Committee of Supply , Lord John Russkll drew attention to Mr . Disraeli ' s speech at Slough , especially with reference to his comments on the state of parties in the House , and to the conduct of foreign affairs ; with regard to which latter the right hon . gentleman claimed the confidence of the
House nnd the country . It was necessary to consider tho relations of tho Government with foreign conn tries when tliey were told that the question of pence and war was a question only of hours . lie asked what was the question of peuco and war which the Government had settled ? If our relations with Franco were so precarious , why should 20 , 000 trained militiamen be disbanded V He believed the peoples of France ami England were anxious for the alliance between the two nations . lie . should lileo to have an interpretation of this ominous sentiment of the right hon . gentleman . [ Tlie noble Lord commented on Mr . Disraeli ' s statement of there having- been an attempt to involve Xa ] il < i « and Sardinia in war , nnd * the policy to be pursued towards India , and nsked who had proposed a policy <> i' extcriniiuition
there ? These statements required explanation . A very serious constitutional question wan wined by the right hon . gentleman telling his con . stiluoiHs that , it there had been n vole of coustiro on tiui Coveriuneur , the batthi would have been fouyht on tho liuslinpj ; tlio only question Iniing whether u particular Ministry uliould be in oftice . Ho was of opinion thai constitutionally there ought not to bo n dissolution of Parliament . Ho thought the lato Oovorntuont , aught not to have dissolved last , year , liuL have tundi-ral their resignations . He protested ng-.-im .- 't a dissolution being held as u throat iu niinisturiul crises . lie contended that tho Ministry was still tlio . same : with regard lo the House , and tlus . "olution oft . hu question of ( , 1 k : confidence of the House , in thuni was still to be tried .
Mr . Disraeli denied that anything in his sneecl justified the impression which the nobb Lord wished t ^ convey . He had cast no imputations on the llou . se but that the Government Lad received from it ' generous courtesy , and that they had saved the Goveroment from the restless intrigues of those who wished t " disturb them . As to the question of peace and war juSt hefore tlie late Government went out , Lord Pahne reto n said that the asking and answering of . certain . questions might decide the question of peace or war with France . Our relations with France then were of a critical characte r The feeling had since changed . He then at lcmztli defended himself against Lord John ' s charges denying . 1 ¦ 1 ' 1 . 1 " 1 _ ¦ 1 _ 1 .

on - , any . a on tlie lt . ni ° of Commons . —Mr . Ricu . charact erized the explanations of Mr . Disraeli < is flimsy and unsatisfactory , if the C \ Q _ vernmeut had not recommended that Lord EIIenboioiMi should be replaced- in office , great injustice had been done to that noble Lord . —Sir 0 . C . Lkw . is , as the only member of the late Government present , replied to Mr . Disraeli generally . He urged that the Government should st . ite their policy with regard to India . — -Mr . Milnkr Gmsrry after some general observations , attributed the - positio n of the Liberal party to its being badly led . —Mi-. Coi . ukr , read a passage in Mr . Disraeli ' s speech at Slough ,-to show that Lord John Russell had correctly quoted i t with regard to the observations , on . India . —Mr . M '
unrbide and Mr . Giuffitiis having spoken , ( he . subject dropped . The House then went into Committee of Supply on t he Army Estimates , which occupied the greater part of the remainder of the sitting .
