Mr. STANsBURY again contended that there was an indetinitencm iu the woeding of both commissions, render ing it highly desirable to wait until the real iatsmtions of th, American Executive Committee could be awertaiued and made known. Mr. DOlNiti, on the other hand. contended that it wax manifest from the doc;:awnts that Mr. Riddle's corn mission comm-necd sr her , M r. C. F. Stan.burre terminated. The amendment of Mr. Stansbury was here put anti led, and the report of the committee was adopted by a large majority. Upon the motion of Mr. TreKtKAN, of New York, it was agreed that all the American contributors who had maehile ry to exhibit, which they desired to have worked by steam power, should be requested to furnish particular. of the extent of the pow. r and the number of men they would require.

The want of spring water is a great evil and inconvenience in this large city. The houses arc provided with tanks. in which every drop of rain that te.l4 is treavured up. This is uwd by the better etas.* fur culinary purpose..

Ott Saturday morning (Feb. 5) we were looking about for something to eat. lie mid, "'there is a shop." And he went to it and came out, and said he found a man and woman there.

Mr. Edwards then addressed the jury for the prisoner Smith. lie admitted that one of the priyiners must have , committed the murder, but he urged that there was nut sufficient evidence to show that Smith had any knowledge c what Wills intended dining : and that. they fore, there was not such a guilty know-1.54e or uuderstandiu , g as to make Smith responsible for this act. . . . . . Wills a.t id he had done the rubbery, but not the murder. lie had his judge in Heaven. lie did nut know in what state the old people were left. The Lord Chief Ilaron, in summing up, observed, that, at &clock both these old people Lid been seam in perfect health, awl at ten the old man was found lying in his kitchen mortally wounded, and he died a short time after wards; the old woman was also desperately wounded. Footmarks were seen ; they were followed, and at length the prisoners, who had. shortly before the murder, been oven together in the neighbourhood, w, re discovered together. On one was found the knife of the old woman, and on both money, which each prisoner admitted was taken from the old woman. If there was no other evidence, could there be a doubt upon their minds ? 'the law was this: If two parties were together jointly concerned in a felony, and in the commission of the I's:luny one of them committed a murder in the presence of the other, it was murder iu both, and lamentable would be the uncertainty of the law and smell would be the 'safety of her Majesty's subjects, if, upon reasoning such as they had heard 'o-day, a criminal who at least participated in the plunder, who allowed that he was jirs-sent on theusion, thoug h not in the same room, could with impunity admit so much share in the guilt as to have partaken of the plunder of the old woman, and yet mg he respousible for the death of the old man. Al though, fig the necessary prof, etion of the lives of her Majesty's subjects that was the rule of law, the jury would still have to ...icier whether they could entertain any doubt that both the prisoners were parties to the transac tion—each of them possibly actively—both of them at least consenting to the death. his lordship then read over the whole of the evidence, and cautioned the jury that although they owed a duty to the offers, yet ut the same time they owed a duty to fOrilly, and must give their verdict ac cording to the evidence they had heard and the oaths they had taken.

To tWs end he ought to have reserved his appeal till that tribunal was in a condition to pronounce judg ment. The House of Lords was not, and is not, in a condition to do this. No inquiry has been instituted by the house into the Ceylon proceedings. The proper course to have been taken by Lord TionttNoToN was to call attention to the gravity of the charges brought against hint, simply and emphatically to protest his itmocence, and calf upon the Lords to possess them selves of such inhamun hat as would enabk• him to enter on his defence. lie might have done this at once when he gave notice a fortnight before of the motion he made on Tuesday. The length of the pre vious intimation showed that it was has intention t preface his motion by a statement that could not be contnidieted at the time, and that must thus be allowed to go fOrth to the public in a way calculated to bias its prepossessions in his favour. The fact is that the House of Lords, the House of Commons, anti the public are none of them at this moment in a condition to form a correct judgment of the Ceylon affair. Hitherto the accusers of Lord Tom:minis have been struggling to compel the production of the evidence. Lust session the evi dence was withheld. This session its publication has been conceded, but, as yet, only partially carried into elli•et. The voluminous oral evidence taken last session has only been issued a week or two, the documentary evidence and index only a few days : the report of the commission which sat in Ceylon has been published, but the evidence upini which it rests is still withheld under a very suspicious pretext; and no farther gone than Tuesday night, Mr. ll.‘wk:s statist that additional papers relating to Ceylon are being prepared for publication, but that there are so many of them that he " could not undertake to say when they would be ready." In these circum stances it is rather too ninth for Lord TotatiNnTos to expect that parlikment and the public will allow a premature judgment in his ease to be extorted from them. It may lx' alleged that Lord TORRINGTON is smarting under unjust imputations and cannot brook delay. We must coati's that we have seen no symptoms of great impatience on his , part. He al lowed nearly two months of the session to elapse befiwe he opened his mouth. Ile gave a fortnight's notice of au intention simply to move for the pro• &lethal of evidence which he might have moved for at once ; and, contented with telling his own story in his own way, he gave the House of Lords to un derstand on Tuesthiy that he was in no hurry to learn what they thought of his conduct. This is not all. The delay that has occurred in the publication of the Ceylon evidence has been owing, not to Lord Tonnixf:ToN's accusers, but to his friends. The publication of the evidence La.. but .o.eion by the committee of the House of Commons was urged by his accusers, and, for the time, successfully resisted by his friends. The admixture of irrelevant matter which was then urged by his friends, us a plea fin• the sup pression of the evidence, was their own work. Sir limEestix TENNENT was the first to set the example of throwing imputations upon the witnesses on the other side. and producing private letters in corrobo ration of those imputations. Mr. WoomfoesE and Mr. SLtan* were compelled to make the revelations they did in self-defence. It was not the accusers of, Lord Tom:Nunn: who caused a whole vear to be wasted in a wild-goose chase in search of where the truth lay between the conflicting statements of those respectable characters TICKERT Butt and Capt. WA'NoN. It was the supporters of Lord Mu mma()); who first complicated the Ceylon Came with the discreditable squabbles among the officials of the colony, and then made the alleged impossibility of witmowiag front the wheat the chaff themselves had overwhelmed it with, a pretext for trying to huddle the whole out of public view. If* there has been mystitieation and undue delay in the Ceylon inquiry -and there ha+ been too much of both—they have been caused exclusively by those who were, or professed to be, acting for the interest of Lord Tan- RINGTON.

Two m.nsengers were dispatched, one to Men, and the other to the Sultan at Lahedt—the latter to request a guard, and to make him aware of the foul treachery committed on guests in his country, the former to report the eircune•titnee, and solicit medical aid.

Some seven or eight lay members, including the matron, assistant matron, and servant ut St. Saviour's Orphan establishment in COULICIiOII with the shore church, were received on the same erenitar, and severally read their recantation of protes tantism, and their profession of faith in the Romish church. I Father Newman, superior of the Oratarians at Birmingham, was preacher on the occasion. The Rev. 1)r. Posey is in Leech., engaged in making arrangements for supplying the places of the clergy who have seceded to Rome. The Rey. Mr. liontingford, a fellow of New College, Oxford, has been offered the vicarage of St. Saviour's, but has declined to accept it. The only clergyman now left at St. Saviour's is the Rev. Richard Beckett, and on his colleagues vacating their offices nt St. Saviour's, he proposed to remove the orphans and furniture from the orphan house to the vicarage of St. Saviour's. This was resisted by the 'try. Mr. Itooke, and a scene took place. The latter gentleman interfered to prevent a porter taking sway the bedding, and the war of words which followed ended in the Rev. Mr. Beckett taking Mr. Rotate, who is a gen tleman of small stature, in his arms and carrying him out into the street. Presently, however, Mr. Hooke obtained additional help, and Mr. Beckett, finding his opponents in creasing, left Mr. Rooke in possession of the house, and the furniture remained. These events have caused quite a stir in the town during the last two or three days. The first relates to the general character of Lord Tonitimiro:c's government. It is alleged, on one hand, that he introduced great improvements into the administration of the colony; on the other, that his measure were unwise and ° prejudicial. In so liar as the public is concerned, this question has become a mere matter of history, has ceased to have any practical iniportance. Sew men have succeed e d L o ra Toitutmcros;, who are adopting a new policy. The colony has hisn rescued from his hands if he were an incapable governor : it is with the 'silky in actual operation that the public have now to do. Fur Lord TORRINGTON this question may still have a vital im portance; he has an obvious interest in being able to show that he is a capable administrator, and as a public man he is entitled to have an opportunity of doing so. And yet if, as has more than once teen alleged, Lord ToititiNi.ros; was scarcely responsible for the policy he adopted—that he merely curried into effect measures prepared by his predecessors— it is not easy to see that he has much concern in it. The second question relates to the insurrection in Ceylon, and the measures adopted for suppression. It is of the utmost consequence to the colony and to the reputation of its late governor, that this question should he completely cleared up. If by rash and injudicious measures he provoked the disturb ances, and if by unwarrantably harsh and oppressive measures he punished those he had provoked to of fend, reparation ought to be made to the suffirers, l and a mark set upon their oppressor that will pre elude the possibility of his ever acting again in the same manner there or elsewhere. If, on the con trary, Lord TORRINGTON has been unjustly accused he is entitled to have his character vindicated. Lastly . there is the question of the imputations and counter-imputations bandied about among L o rd TORRINGTON and his late subordinate officials. They relate, indeed, to matters in which the public in or- 1 . dinary circumstances would have little interest. But they have been made of public importance. Wherever the truth may lie, some of the par ties to these imputations must be unfit for trust and employment. Yet with 1!,,, , exception of Lord Touitisarox they ar,r all trtaim.,l •in the public service, and even he is only t,mp.r.t rily shelved amid a shower of complimems intended to prepare for his return to otli•, at future period. The public is entitled to lo,ow delinquency is thus connived at and se natal hush.,l up. It is also entitled to know how irrelevant in quirieseamc to he entered upon, and afterw a made a pretext for concealing the truth. .1. 11: tent at present stand, there are wave re .,, 111.• 1 , 0 that the obscurity in which the atchniai•timi.., our colonial °Hides is systematically shromi,l qt. mats much rottenness, and that by rather management the !louse of 0/1111111(1110: .

As to the attack made. on Tuesday. upon the press by Earl Gum . , we maid it merely as one of his unfortunate ebullitions of temper, which are a mutter of unhappy notoriety.

Tater • nr.• in a hick the average produce hat been raised by good laming to 31 quarters of wheat, 114 •pturters of oats, sod 41 quarters of beans. The first steps in improvement consist in draining and the grubbing of hedgerows, so as to raise the average size of the fields to 111 or 15 acres The next is to alter the texture of the soil by the addition of safest:imps which will prevent the particles from runnin g together. Flwoe are chalk, burned clay, and organic manures. Chalk for burning into Buie, which is nearly the sole dressing shine the land re ceives, is carted, in many eases, nine miles, and burned on the farm. Double the quantity lased in this way with each fallow would last, if apptisrl ill the raw state, two uty years. The wcalden is croseall by the Brighton railway, and the northern clay district is traversed through its whole length by the Duser railway, each of those 'la . ..Ming chalk at their extremities : stud chalk and other laalu•-::d matures may be ' carried by railway thirty miles at the .sane eupress• as that of carting them five miles.

TIM SISTERS of MERCY AND TIIE CENst'S.— One of the enumerator+ employed iu Plymouth to r the returns for the census, told us on Nlonday of the dial s:allies that he had experienced in calliwt upon the Sider. of Mercy Ile at first saw one of ladies, robed 1111 in black, and asked her for the return. Ile was told that Miss Selloa was away—that she supposed the Ludy Superior had taken the papers with her, and that she could not undertake so great a responsibili•y without the Lady Superior's sanction as to make the return. The enumerat• au intelligent man, who was well up to hi+ work, contioned the young lady as to the course that she was. taking, and said he would call again during the day, and bring in the necessary papers for the required returns, when he hoped she would think better of it, make the return, and %ace the tine. In the afternoon the official did call, nal, presenting himself to the same mysterious sister, handed her two forms for her to fill up with the required information. The young nun again refused—would " think uo better of it," and deter mined rather to brave the terrors of the law than diselose the secrets of her prison-house. There is a great mystery as to who's who, in the Ehulail Nunnery, unit no cloak this census affair has sadly disturbed the perturbed spirit , of the inhabitanta.—Plgesouth Journal. THE DRA3IA WRITTEN BY SIR EDWARD BUI.WEIt LTTrosr as his contribution towards the fund raising for the new Literary Institute, is now in the hands of the lite rary and artistic amateurs. CoventsGarden Theatre lots been gratuitously placed at their service+ for the rehearsals —which are now in progress. The first performance will take place probably in June, at the town residence of the l)uke of Devonshire ; and will he followed during the sum mer and autumn by a series of performances in out or other of the regular theatres. In the spring of 1852 the amateurs will play the same drama in a few of the chief provincial towns for the same object. Mr. Webster has 'sought the right of performing it at his theatre at the expiration of two years, for 500 guineas. It Ls probable that altogether a lti t r e L . sum of money will be raised by these means.—
