The motion woe seconded by Lord Hocbhtoh and opposed by Earl Gbamviimi, nho stated tbat Leeds had been neleoteu simply on the ground of public convenience. The Earl of Dbbby thought the balance was in favour of Wakefield as against Leeds. He advised Lord Wharncliffe to withdraw the motion, but Intimated that, if pressed, he should support it with hie vote.

The House then went Into Committee of Supply. HOUSE OF LORDS. Tuesday. Earl Gbahvimb moved the concurrence of their LordBbips in th recommendation of the Crown to recognise, by a grant of 20,000, the Bervicos of Sir Rowland Hill in the cauae of Postal Eeform, whloh was agreed to nem. con.

In the evening sitting, Mr HtJBBiBB moved that the inequalities arid injustice attending the oparatiou of the existing Property and InoomeTas disqualified it for being continuously reimposed in its present form as one of the means of levying the Notional Debt.

The Chahobiiob of tho Exohbqobb admitted tho defects and inequalities of the Income Tar, but said it was difficult to substitute any other that would be less objeotionoble and produce so large a sum to the revenue.

The adjourned debate on the motion for going into committee on the Elections Petitions Bill was resumed by Mr Colhhs, who contended that the measure established anew principle that would have the affect of deterring persons from petitioning ogaiUBt illegal returns, and thus secure guilty parties in their seats.

Sir Paxihqtoit inquired when the Gladiator received orders to go to tho African cooat on this service.

Lord C. Pasbt, to the manifest surprise and indignation of many Hon.

As soon as the Government received on inti-I wos tallinK 'bey sent out instructions for the with-Sif from the interior of the country by the verynex mail, xae marges whioh had been preferred against tho Government by the nV? made 'ccklessly, and upon insufficient authority, and ne tnought the House would not feel inclined to concur in the censure conveyed in the Hon. Baronet's motion. Sbthoub said the stotement of the noble Lord was most uneatlBfaotory. It was evident that the administration of the War umee was quite as bad as it wns in the earlier stsgeB of the Crimean war. Pmib Coohbahb, in supporting the motion, remarked tbat the bod ocoutred on tbe Gold Coast was only another instance of the sad results which attended the miserable intermeddling ot the Government with the affairs of other countries.

The only questionor the consideration of the House was whether the Government, in sending reinforcements of troopa to tbe Cape Coast, had taken those pre-cautions which rt was their duty to toko the deadly chorocter 'hoolimate to whioh the troops were sent. The denial of tho Government thot troopa were sent from the West Indies specially to take part in a wor BgBinst the King of Ashantee wns an attempt- to mislead the House. It was evident that they went to the Cape CooBt for that purpose only, and if not, then the carelessness of the Government in not making better provision for them when thoy arrived was less excusable. He believed that the Government had Bent out an apparatus for distilling water, but when JJ reached Cape Coaat Castle it was found that it would not work. The charge against the Government was not for having commenced on impolitic war, but for not having provided fur the health of the troopa after the instructions lo commence hostilities were transmitted Jo the Governor.

He censured the Government for not having diapatohod the Gladiator to the Gold Coast to remove the invalided troopa at an earlier date, and he asserted that that vessel would prOvo; wholly inadequate to remove all the men who ought to be removed. He wished "bet force the Government intended to maintain upon the Ho'J Coast in future. They hod promised to reduce the force to its normal condition, yet alter having sent out reinforments to the extent of 1,100 men, they bod only upon their own showing made provision for the removal of 500 of them. Lord Clabbmob Pabbi said he deeply deplored the mortality which had taken place, but he believed that it was not greater than the normal mortality amongst tbe troops serving upon the Gold Coast. So far the accounts which the Admiralty had reoelved did not tally with those which had been received by Sir J.

Hay. But as soon as the Admiralty received from the Hon. Baronet 0 statement of the occonnt he had received, they dircoted the Gladiator to be mode ready for see, and she would soil for Capo Coast Castle. She was one of the best transport ships in the service, and woa fully adequate to perform the doty assigned to her. General Pbbi Boidit was the old story over again, namely, thot these things had hoppened ond that nobody was to blame.

He thought tbe only effect of our operations had been to deprive the only Klug who might be supposed to entertain a feor of us of hiB terror. (Laughter.) Mr in reply to Sir J. Pakington's question, stated that it wos intended in futnre merely to maintain two battalions of troops on the Gold Coast, He denied that the Colonial Office or the War Department were responnsible for what had occurred, or tbat they had failed in making provision for the troops, and read a despatch from the offloer in command of the troops, stating that he was, in every respeot, prepared to oarry out the expBdition.

The House then went into Committee of Supply HOU8E OF LORDS.

Friday. The Earl of Ehehboboush colled attention to tbe fact that, in nine days' time the armistice between tbe Danes and Germans would be at an end. The Earl of Dbbbs thought that In such a ca5e as tbat at present under discussion, ber Majesty's Government should be left to pursue tbe course which seemed to it best, until it hod completed that course and brought it to an iBsuo Bnccessful or otherwise. If he had refrained from expressing any opinion upon the Danish question, or asking questions iu reference to it, that abstinence on his part arose not from indifference or atlll lees from approval of what he knew what was going on He' thought it his duty to see what would oomo of the pending negotiations Still he thought Parliament should not permit Itself to be deprived oi information tbat It should possess, and should take some stcna to nrevent itself from being stifled. Earl EossBLr.

replied that in the course of a few days negotiations would come to an end, and it would then bo known whether there would be peace or war. In reply to Lord Ebubt, The Arcbbiahop of Cahibbbubz said that a groat majority of the clergy were averse to any charge in the burial service and be therefore did not leel authorised to propose any legislation on the subject. Lord Esoar gave notice thot he would coll otttnlion to the'oucation that day fortnight. Viscouut Gaob moved tbe second reading of the Churoh Services Apocrypha Bill, the objeot of whioh wob to allow olergymon lo substitute other portions of the Soriptores for the lestons taken out of the Apocrypha After a brief discussion tbe Bill was withdrawn. On tho report of the Penal Servitude Acts Amendment Bill, The Earl of Abub complained that it would prevent ticket-of-lcavemen from emigrating, A brief disooBBion ensued, but no points of novelty or interest were Their Lordships then adjourned.

HOUSE OF COMMONS. Friday. On the motion for going into Commitee on tho Footories Acts Extension BUI, Mr Baciwbli, drew attention to the state of the needlewomen and tailors ot London, and contended, thot as other classes had been legislated for with benefit, it would be advisable to apply the B.ime prinoiple to those bodies. He concluded by moviog that it be an instrnction to the Committee to take their case into consideration. Bir G.

Gbb? thought it would be inexpedient to legislate for different classes without reports of different oommlsions. Government was nro-ceeding step by step. The Sbbahibb explained that the motion of the Hon. Member ooulfi not formally be put to the House, and it was accordingly withdrawn. The House then went into Committee, end suspended at twenty-five minutes to three o'clock.

The House resumed at Bix o'clook. In reply to Mr A bah, Sir C. Wood stated that tho officer was employed in the presidency of Bengal for the purpooe of collecting ond translating all matters of public Interest discussed in the native presB of India, and that considerable advantage hod resulted from hia becoming acquainted with the feelings and sentiments of the people of that part of India. Mr Gbjiiiih aBked whether a deolaraction hod that evening been made by the Foreign Government in the House of Lords to tbe effect If the Conference did not come to a conclusion within a few days ootiva measures would be taken by tbe English Government. Lord Paimbbston Baid tbat no eoch declaration had been made and that the Government had not arrived at a decision of tho sort.

On the order of the day for going Into Committee of Supply, Sir J. Hat moved that her Majesty's Government, for the purpose of woging war against the King of Aehantee without making ony sufficient provision for preserving the health of the troops to he employed there have incurred a grove responsibility, and thot this House laments the wont or forethought which has caused so large a Iosb of life. The Hon. Baronet described the onheoltby condition ol the Gold Coast and contended tbat the loss of life whioh had occurred there rcoe entirely due to the want of foresight of the Government. They had now directed the Gladiator to proceed there for the purpose of removing the troons still surviving to tbe Verd Islands! but tbe ship they sent out was one of tbe worst in the service, and when it reached the Verd IslandB the probability was thot the Portuguese woald not allow the troops to be landed.

1,800 men hod been sent on service In the deadly climate of the Gold Coast without the slightest provision being made for their health or comfort. Up to this tlcce 10,000 had 'been spent on tbe Ashantee war altogether without the knowledge or oesent of Parliament, He denied that any blame attached to Governor Pine or to Colonel Conoran, who was in oommand of the troopB. The persons who were really to blame were the War Department aud the Treasury the same men who had betrayed Denmark and truckled to Germany, who had convulsed China and devastated Japan, who, ten years ago, sent a British army to perish for wont of supplies in a Crimean winter, and who had now scut British troops to perish of fever, thirst, hunger, and want of shelter on the burning plains ond fetid swamps of Central Africa. The Marquis of Habtihqiok deeply sympathised in tbe painful lose whloh Sir J. Hay had snstoined In tbe loss of brother upon the unhos-pitable shores of Africa, but he thought thot no Buoh feeling would induce the House to oesent to tbe resolution without a careful inquiry into the whole facts of tho case.

Tho unfortunatejloss of life on the Gold Coast had tolerably good gome. (b) tokes oould havo been ployed with equal If not greater effeot. (o) Again Kt to 3d would have been preferable. By the Hue of play adopted White obtains an easy victory, (d) Tho termination Is exceedingly well ployed by White. Gbkbeai Ioths.

The contest lasted for some hours, when Mr Stewart being obliged to leave, his gama was left to be played out by Mr Chinnery, end that gentleman in the end wos obliged to succumb to his formidable antagonists.

All visitors to Rosher-vul Gardens, who have ever had their fortunes told in the sylvan retirement of tbat popular resort, will regret to hear of the decease of the old occupant of the gipsy tent.

Since the opening of the gardens she had filled her usual post, hut her health was visibly affected, and a few days ago she expired in about the fiftieth year her age. Her funeral was followed by a large number of the S'Psy tribe, who came from all parts of Kent and Surrey to attend Jh i ceremony. The deceased was a genuine member of the roving raternity, and thoroughly believed in the art she professed. Her name was Avis Lee, and for six-and-twenty years she had settled at JKoshervilie as an avowed fortune-teller by the strict rales of Palmistry.
