Liee on iBoAitD an Emigrant Shu * . —An inquest has been lield at Sydney rm the body of Ann Cox , a young woman who died during the voyage of the Stebonb « ath emigrant ship from England to Australia . The evidence apparently showed the « xistenee of a frightful amount of profligacy on the part of the female emigrants and of the sailors . The latter repeatedly
broke into the lierths of the women at night , and "the AvoiiKn , with few exceptions , did not slow any inGiriposition to accompanj- the men . The inquest terminated in an open verdict ; but a meeting has since been held , at -which great doubt -was thrown on 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 . Ax Irish Patriarch . — Mr . ¦ James Xolan , of KnocMndrane , ' Carlow , ' has just died at the remarkable age of one hundred and sixteen . He was a tenant on tlie estate of the Earl of Bessborougli , 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 head 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 Dentist Extraordinary . —Public schools are found to be a capital quarry for the supply of available teeth , A dentist from Caen having gone to St .

The Earl of Ellenbokol-gii having produced the correspondence with the Governor-General of India relating to the proclamation to the people of Oude , Earl Gkanvii-lk -warmly censured the course taken "by the Government , ¦ ur ging that it would tend to ovevtlnov the authority of
1 he Governor-Goneral . —The Earl of Dekhy vindicated that course , as the Government believed that the pro- clamation would cause great difficulties in the paeiliea- tion of the country of Oude ; and stated that nothing was said which would necessitate the resignation' of Lord Canning . —The Duke of Argyll and the Earl of Ellunbouoccui having spoken in the same sense , the subject dropped . The House adjourned at seven o ' clock . HOUSE OF COMMONS . Jill . AtCIiaiL'TY GLOYliK . Mr . Guiffitii gave notice that , when the Property Qualification Bill became law , he should move an address to the Crown praying for the reloaau of Mr . Auchmuty Glover from prison . ROYAL ACA 1 JICMY , W < lOMVICII . In answer to Mr . ri : Ti : n O'Diukn , General 1 ' i ; i : l said that no gentleman had boon admitted into Woolwich academy since the 1 st of January except on the principle of competitive examination . OA . T 1 IS nil / L , Lord John Ixtssku ., postponed the eom ' xlcrntion of the Lords' nmendments to the Oalhs liill till next Monday . l'KOHATK COURT . Mr . "Waurkn called tlio attention of the House to the operation of the Probate Act of last session with rul ' erencc to tho right of employing burrislers-at-lnw in non-contentious business in thu l ' robate Court , and barristerrt uml attorneys-at-law in tlie Court of Admiralty , supposed to have been conferred on tho public in consideration of thu compensation . awarded by that act to proctors and others . —Mr . IIadi'iki . o spoke against tinlargo compensation granted to pwtors under tlu' act , ot last NC 8 Hion , and as well on the exclusion of the lcp , al profession nt large from the I'roUnte Court .
Sir KioiiAui ) liicTiii-. LLBaid it was not intended that there should bo any such exclusion , ami an tin ; Judge had construed the . act in that seiiMO , it would bo desirable to remove tho dillu'ulty by further le ^ mlation . — Mv . Com . iick objected to the vote of 2 f > 0 , ( MH >/ . u your art compensation to Ihu proctors , one , which the llousu would not . have consented to but . on the ground of tho abolition of tbi ) monopoly of the proctors , which il . seemed -was continued ' . —Mr .

compensations to every officer of the , abolished courts ; that to the proctors alone was 80 , 000 ? . or 100 , 000 ? . The act had entirely destroyed the business of the proctors . ^ MAGISTRATES AT CANTERBURY . " Mr . John Locke called attention to the recent appointment of Justices of the Peace for the City of Canterbury , and asked tlie Home Secretary whether Mr . John Prout had 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 . "Wai-pole said that two charges had been made against the Lord .. Chancellor ; first , that he had appointed Mr . Prout to the magistracy , and secondly , that he had made partisan appointments to the bench in 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 an 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 of the Commissioners , and as soon as 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 I was intended to neutralize the majority of the Liberals ,
although they still liad the preponderance . Mr . Bright said the Lord Chancellor seemed to have only followed the example of his predecessors , and he had been trying to balance accounts . But lie had forgotten that the majority of those 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 . I 5 uti . er-Johs . sto >; e defended the appointment of My . Prout , which the Lord Chancellor had made at his instance , he having quite forgotten that Prout had ¦
been convicted of bribery . —Mr . Eokbuck stated that a list of persons for tlie magistracy sent up by Conservatives of Bath had been preferred by the Lord Chancellor to a list sent up by the Corporation . — After some further discussion , Mr . Wuitesidk pointed out that Mr . ¦ Alderman Brent , one of the persons convicted of bribery at Canterbury , in 1 S 52 , had not only remained a magistrate but had been a Deputy Lieutenant in the county of Kent . —Sir William Somerviixk explained that Alderman Brent had been appointed a Deputy Lieutenant before the Report on the Canterbury election , in 18 f > 3 . .

The Financial Position. Better Acquainta...
THE FINANCIAL POSITION . Better acquaintance- ' with" the Budget has not made members or tlie public more hi love . with it , "but rather tlie reverse . Not that any great discovery has been made ; not that we knovr anything more than ve did -when Mr . Dishaeli first announced bis plan ; "but the reasons of the increased dislike spring tip on reflection , and are in great p art due more to the financial circumstances than to the
Minister . Tlie details and principles were severely criticized' by Mr . ( xXABStoke ; a financier whose powers and invention are , indeed , not appreciated by the public at large , though there is no doubt that be would "be a better ' Chancellor-of . the Exchequer than we have ever seen except in Peel . 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 ot Mr . Cahdwei / l , who sums up the worst aspect of the financial position in a very few words . Under the arrangement which was supposed to be established by previous Governments , we Mere to pay oft 2 , 000 , 000 ? . of Exchequer Bonds and 1 , 500 , 000 / . to the Sinking Fund for the last war lotui ; and were to have accomplished a reduction of out liathat the
bilities thus far by the timo Income-tax and some other war taxes shcmld entirely -disappear — about the year 1 SG 0 . And about that year certain terminable annuitica will have expired . Mr . Disha / eli , however , finds himself short of cash to the amount of three or four millions . The expenditure is increasing , until it exceeds G : i , 5 OO , OOO 7 ., quite independently of the Sinlrinsr Fund and the repayment of
Exchequer Bonds ; and he proposes , theretoro , to defer all payments until 1 SCJ 0 . In that year , consequently , and those which immediately succeed it * , we shall have an increase of liabilities ; and talcing tho expiry ok' other liabilities , Mr . Caudwki . i , reckons that tho CUAlXOKl . LOlt OT THE E . KC II K l ' J 5 H V'Ul be about . J ., O 0 O , O 0 l ) Z . worao oil' than ho is at iis
