The Art Treasures Palace . —The materials of the Art Treasures building , at Manchester , are being sold by auction . Life on Board an Emigrant Ship . —An inquest has been held at Sydney on the body of Ann Cox , a young woman , who died during the voyage of the Stebonheath emigrant ship from England to Australia . The evidence apparently showed the existence of a frightful amount of profligacy on the part of the female emigrants and of the sailors . The latter repeatedly broke into the berths of the women at night , and the women , with few exceptions , did not show any indisposition to accompany the men . The inquest terminated in an open verdict ; but a meeting has since been held , at which great doubt was thrown oxx the statements made at the inquest . Some of ¦ the speakers asserted that several of the girls ( though not misbehaving themselves ) were chained , and shut up in close , narrow cabins ; that the matron behaved in a very despotic way ; and that . the doctor was sometimes drunk and at other times insane . It was resolved to petition the Governor to see into the matter . An Irasir Patriakch . —Mr , James Xolan , of Knocldndrane , Carlow , has just died at the remarkable age of one hundred and sixteen . He was n tenant on the estate of the Earl of' Bessfcorough , and died in the townland in which he was born . He had always been very temperate in his habits , and , from an early period in life , had bathed his liead in cold water regularly every morning . His memory extended over a clear period of a century . About six years ago , a photographic likeness of him was taken , and sent to the Queen . He died almost suddenly , but with great calmness . A Destist Extraordinary . —Public schools are found to be a capital quarry for the supply of available teeth , A dentist from Caen having gone to St . Etienne , and presented himself as a public health officer commissioned to inspect the sanitary state of the boys , extracted two hundred and sixty capital new teeth among some bad ones , and levanted with the valuable booty . The whole town is in an uproar .- —Paris Correspondent of the , Glebe . ..-. .-

l'KOIIATK COUItT . Mr . Wahukn called the attention of the ; House to the operation of the Probate Act of last session with reference to tho right , of employing barristors-at-luw in non-contentious business in tin : Probato Court , and barristers and attorneys-at-law in tins Court of Admiralty , supposed to havo been conferred on the public in consideration of the compensation awarded by that , act , to proctors and others . —Mr . I 1 aimiki . i > spoke : against the large compensation granted to proctors under tin- : u'l , of last session , and as well on the exclusion of the Ii > p ; iil profession nt largo from the Probate Court .
Sir KioiiAKi ) Hi <' . tiucli < mud it . was not ; intended that there should bo . any such exclusion , and as the . ) iul |! , v . hud construed tho act , in that sense , it . would bo desii'iiMf to remove tho diiliculty l > y further leg ' iMlation . —Mr . Com , iick objected to tho -voLu of 250 , 01 ) 0 / . a your us compensation to the proctors , one which tho House Would not have consented to but . on Iho ground <>( tho abolition of the monopoly of the proctors , whieli it seemed was continued . —I \ lr .

pensations to every officer of the abolished courts ; that to the proctors alone was 80 , 0007 . or 100 , 0007 . The act had entirely destroyed the business of the proctors . MAGisTKA . TES AT CAUTKBBUBT . Mr . John Locke called attention to the recent appointment of Justices of the Peace for the City of Canterbury , and asked the Home Secretary whether Mr . John Prout h ad been appointed one of such justices , and whether he was the person mentioned in the Report of the Commissioners appointed to inquire into the existence of corrupt practices at the election of members of Parliament for that city in the year 1852 and at previous elections . ...
Mr Wawolk said that two charges had been made ao-ahist the Lord Chancellor ; first , that he had appointed Mr . Prout to the magistracy , and secondly , that he had made partisan appointments to the bench m several towns . As to the second , he was sure no one could believe the Lord Chancellor capable of such conduct . As to the appointment of , Mr . Prout , there were eleven magistrates in Canterbury , eight were Liberals and three Conservatives . Several names of persons were sent to the Chancellor , recommended by the authorities , some of whom he . appointed , and Mr . Prout among them , not knowing that his name was in the Report ot the Commissioners , ' and as soon . is the Chancellor heard of it he sent to Canterbury and required his resignation . He gave a list of magistrates appointed by the Chancellor , most of whom were Conservatives , which he said was intended to neutralize the majority of the Liberals , although they still had the preponderance . Chancellor seemed to have
3 Ir . Bright said the Lord only followed the example of his predecessors , and be had been trying to balance accounts . But he had forgotten that the . niajority of these Tories were Liberals . When a new Government came , in , there was always a scramble for new appointments to the magistracy , and he urged that the system should be put an end to . —Mr . Boxixu Joiisstoxe defended the appointment of Mr . Prout which the Lord Chancellor had made at bis instance , he having quite forgotten that Prout had been convicted of bribery . —Mr . Rokbu . ck stated that a list of persons for the magistracy sent up by Con servatives of Bath , had been preferred by the Lord Chancellor to a list sent tip by the Corporation . — After some further . discussion , Mr . "VS ' HirrismE pointed out that Mr . Alderman lirent , one of the peraous con victed of bribery at Canterbury , in 1852 , had not only remained a magistrate but had been a Deputy Lieute nant in the county of Kent . —Sir William Somekviule explained that Alderman Brent had been appointed a Deputy Lieutenant before the Report on the Canterbury election , in 1853 .

\ - - - THE FINANCIAL POSITION . Better acquaintance with the Budget has not made members or the public more m love I with it , but rather the reverse . N " ot that ' I any great discovery has been made ; iiot that ' we know anything more than we did when Mr . Disraeli first ; announced his plan ; "but 1 reasons of the Increased dislike spring up l on reflection , and are in great part due more - to the financial circumstances than to the ' Minister . The details and princip les were " severely criticized . by Mr . Gladstone ; a
financier whose powers and invention are , indeed , not appreciated by the public at large , though there is ' no doubt that he would be a better ¦ Chancellor of the Exchequer than we have ever seen except in Pjjel .- But Mr . Gladstone ' s science is of a kind that seeks a perfect finish in minute niceties which the public does not understand . People can far better comprehend the broader , and as they would say , the more " practical" finance of Mr . Card-well , who sums up the worst aspect of the financial position in ii very few which
words . Under the arrangement was supposed to be established by previous Governments , we were to pay off 2 , 000 , 000 ? . of Exchequer Bonds and 1 , 500 , 000 ^ . to the Sinking Fund for the last war loan ; ami were to have' accomplished a reduction of our liabilities thus far by the -time that the Income-tax and some other war taxes should entirely disappear —about the year 1860 . And about that year certain terminable annuities will havo expired- 3 Mi \ Dtshaem , however finds himself short of cash to the
amount of throe or four millions , lhe expenditure id increasing , until it exceeds 03 , 500 , 000 / ., quite independently ol the Sinking Fund and the repayment of Exchequer Bonds ; and he proposes , therefore , to deter all payments until I 860 . In . that year consequently , and those which immediately succeed it " , we shall have sm increase of linbilitioa ; ami taking tho expiry ot other liabilities , J \ lr . Cardwkm- reckons that tho CirAxcKi . Loit oi ? thk lSx . cn kq . ueh- will be
about ; 1 , 000 , 000 / . wovsa olV than he is at present . JMv . Cardwkm . ' s principal idea 13 , that Mr . ; i ) i 8 iui ! i . i should not reduce tho i Income-tax , and should by that means meet ' the "reater part of tho present : deficiency . i Mr . Binuin- would proceed by another course ; ho would peremptorily ; iinl absolutely rtMhicc our expenditure , especially 111 tho military and naval part ; and in order to do so ho would call upon l « Yane <> to reduce her n : nf-Vor it is tho policy of suspicion at present
