" ROl9l, Dr .7, " Tim (writ rly and calm attitude of this capital for lie ha three weeks is something perfectly marvel ling! and I continue to dwell on it as a matter of emu value in forming a public judgment of the late aviation here. — "The uiper chamber having unanimously made moon cause with the house of representatives, both asemblies rialved on sending a mixed deputation to the sovereign, regnesting his return to his dominions. The pretext for absence was the want of freedom of anion. Now, it appears, that King Ferdinand won't allow his captive at Gaeta the freedom of intercourse with the two great bodies who divide the sovereignty of Rome with the Pontiff. The deputation which hit this city the day before yesterday (having at its Pad Prince Corsim), was arrested at the frontier of Itsrmeina, by order of the Neapolitan Government, and are at this moment awaiting the good pleasure of his Lausroni highness to be allowed access to their monarch. The indignation of Rome is intense. i 4 Meantime the business of the country suffers no intesuption. The debates in the lower house have best resumed, and the subject which occupies the ablation of the legislature is one of the most vital ismertance to this territory—the law of entail and the sellisment of mortmain are undergoing a thorough revision, and the most valuable results as to the re lease of agriculture from thraldom and the distribution of loaded property among a better class of cultivators will be the blessed result. • The Prime Minister, Mamiani, addressed the Csamoss yesterday in a tone of high resentment at the nealled-for miasmas of a }lynch flotilla off Civita Vecchia. He dwelt on the article of the recent Pewit constitution which bars France from med iae( en behalf of foreign kings spinet their subjects. Net that he saw any likelihood of the Pope's wishing Snags a war with foreign bayonets against the lima population, inasmuch as the pontiff had re tied on principle to wags war for the sacred cause of hay erg sist the miscreant Vandal. He had given ears torepel by force any attempt to violate the brtftory of re Rome. People here look on the arrival of the French tuts tas a mere claptrap of Cavaignao to secure the aisrgy's vow for the presidency, and as such Count Harcourt evidently meant it. That ambassador had (t is now known) arranged his plans for the abduc tion of the Pope to Civic' Vecchia, and thence to Mar sillies; but the Bavarian ambassador, De Spur (who sets for Austria m well), outigeneralled the French- Ink kidnapped the Pops into his own private car doge, and mated him off by land to Terrains, and to ' Chero's villa near Gaeta, rails Harcourt thought he baths pontiff is the close carriage whichbrought only Hallam de la Rosa to the steamer Tenure, the sap id& of wh;oh was persuaded that hs really had the Pip ea board when he left Qvita Vecchia: the in trigue of the various savoys here are the subject of credal ridicule to the whole town. _ _ "No news can be expected from Rome until the totem of the deputation whenever it shall please Lit Ferdinand to allow the Pope a conference with Wit Umbers. I cannot d to foresee what the Cenerilla who have gat. in form at Gaeta will Mein Pisa IL to do on this critical occasion.

Mr. Haewlek, is 1835, was told by his agents that his kittens* would give him a good chimes fee Liebsard. He oases and tried it, and Mr. Bullet beat him by a 1nt1091130 8 0 votes 89 1 iefaemedthimoyof 178. Mr.ffiellewicenbeequently exhibited snore interest than he had theretofore &main the prosperity of the town, and at the general election of 1837 he tried again. This was the only contest, worthy to be so called, that ever ' bee been known in Litheard. The electors, however were staunch to Mr. Buller, and returned him at the bead the poll by a majority of 18, the numbers being 113 and 96 re spectively. Mr. Hekowieh left Liskeard railing at the in gratitude of his tenants, and vowing that he would never relent biased( as their candidate again. Up to the present hoar be has kept his word. Mr. Buller, having been called to office, had several times occadon to ask for re-election by his constituents. For ten Pen, from 1837 to 1847, he passed through every elective ordeal unopposed. At the last general election Dr. Cartels, of this Admiralty Court, was brought down to contest the borough. Mr. lluller had an easy victory over the loused civilian, defeating him in the Ant hour's polling by a ma fealty of 63. Mr. Buller's death was hardly known in Llakeard before the town was visited by Mr. Bickhem Boat, who, ever dna he was deservedly kicked out of Winchester, has been prowl tag about the west of Berland, a sort of political hyena, seeking a constituency whom he may devour. Mr. Deceit called a meeting, and treated a small audience to a two hours' harangue. Scarcely a cheer, however, did he elicit, except when he praised Mr. Buller and abused the bishop. The neat morning, when Mr. Escort " proceeded to pay his reveals to the *lewd ' " he was very unceremoniously re ceived. Soddenly he desisted from his canvass, and it was given out that Mr. Ewott had merely come to meat his cousin the protectionist, Mr. Kaewich ! Mr. Kekewich came down a day or two after. True to hie declaration in 1837, he refrained from killing any address to the eleetnre. Ile might have come there, for anything that is es mord, only to receive his rents. He proceeded to call on some of his tenants. On Saturday he went over his farm 'Weide the town. On Sunday he want to church with the , but walked back to his hotel up a bye street. OsMonday he ordered sly (or Plymouth, en rods to Exeter. Mr. R. B. Crowder, the Queen's oottesel, is the !isthmian' selected to sumeed Mr. Buller. He was known to some soli citors In the town, who had employed him on Oren= they came up to London and brought him All that you lee front oar London correspondent " in the provincial papers about dimensions at the Reform Club and jeslouties between Macaulay and Ron buck as to the election for Liskeard is mere balderdash. And when peopl, wisely shake their heads and tell you "no one could oet in for Liskeard except upon the Buller influence," believe them to this extent and this extent alone, that no con could get in for Llakeard whom the elee tors did not believe worthy to succeed the late Charts. Buller. Mr. Crowder canvassed ma Buller's political and private friend, and Mr. Kekewich was marched off becalm' he was Buller's political opponent. There is mu point more maenad with elections at Lis beard deserving record as a remarkable and moat honour able circumstance. From first to last—from 1832 to 1847 Mean long pars—the sent for this borough out Charles Bailer little more than 5001. At the severe contest in 1837, he spent somewhat less than 3501. ; in 1847, his expenee wen 1601. more. It is averred to be a fact that'the profes sional p tlemen who acted for him In the borough never sharged a farthing far their services ; a circumstance which, if trite, is indeed a rare example. Oa the other hand, Mr. Kekewich has sunk a great deal In trying to get in for Liskeard. The borough property of a madldate is liable to considerable deductiors by lessen of his eandidateship, and Mr. Kekewich, it is said, has bad evi dence of the fact. His expenditure in Lhkeard in ether ways has also been considerable ; the more so, because it has been all to no purpose. de sae for the brighter portion of this subject. Let us sow hot et tM other side of the picture. Lkkeerd is a borough respecting which it would be diffi oak to show a single substantial reason why, as at present mestituted, it should exercise the right of sending a repre sentative to parliunent at all. The member for Liskeard repeornes no sae of the elements which are popularly sup prod to enter Into the composition of constituencies. He neither represents a large population nor a considerable elec torate, nor an extensive district, nor great opulence, nor maul intelligence, nor vast territorial possession. He re peon* neither trade, nor commerce, nor agriculture, nor meneketuring industry. He is sent to parliament by a mail body of small retail tradesmen, in a amall country hewn, sad by a few small formers in its Immediate locality. The popelaboa of Liskeard is 4,500 ; the dieters** about 250. Contract this with Manchester with in 250,000 popu lation, and It. 13,000 sinters; or with Birmingham with its 180,000 people, audits 5,000 constituents; or with the Tower Hamlets, with its 430,000 and 14,0001 Leek at Liskeard mad Salford, each returning a single representative, the member for the one plane representing nearly 70,000 souls and nearly 3,000 constituents, the member for the other 4,600 (not one fyieentli part of the population of the former town) and 250 Becton ( just about one hiselflh of the owed tummy of Salford). Reprd again the relative opulence of these places. The rateable property in Liskeard was valued at 13,2301. is 1830, sad at the present time Is estimated at about 16,0001., or only 3,0001. mace in arrly 20 years. The estimated value of the property in in 1814 was 48,0001.; at present it la believed to be upwards of a milldam. or 62 times se much as the property of Liskeard. If the property of these towns is in remarkable =bed certainly their elarantrietion are not low dissimilar. Wield that we could pat side by side one of the 101.

An just:motion to refrain from esinasenting no one would object to, because com ments might Memos or intinudate the jury, but an utter prohibition of publishing mere proceedings of a public court is unaccountable. The effect will be, if the court be obeyed, that the proceedings will not be reported at an, for their interest will cease when the verdict and judgment become known.

CHAHOE OF FELONY AGAINST AN ATTORNEY.— AS the ftew Bailey, Manchester, on Friday, Mr. William Ambbft, an , ad Peter Moan, a bailiff's usistant, IMO sheeted with _ .

L assordado withadvice given by Mr. Ambler, Birch maim dignessnt of his property to Mr. P. Newton, for the Wadi of de creditors; but, after Newton had taken posses sion, a quantity of the goods were taken from Birch's house, earned into Manchester, and there sold, by Mr. Ambler's illeestioe, ander a pretended claim of a bill for fret aring the deed of aulgemeat. Goods to the value of about 1001. had bees samtheed in that manner. If these facts were proved, be Mend deem it necessary to ask for such punishment as would tend to check any each practice by other. Mr. Gibson thee inquired if there was a person in court named Joe* Mowood. Ambler said he was not near him ; but Imposter 'dock apprehended him at the door, and he was placed in the dock. Wined et having been heard in support of Mr. Gibson's statement, Mr. Trafford said there was no proof that Hopwood had taken any part in the affair, and therefore he mast be discharged. M'Leaa appeared to have acted under the authority of Mr. Ambler, and probably was not aware he was acting Ulegally. He should, however, re. mend the ease, and allow 9PLean and Ambler to find bail for their appearance. WASWICHSHISS. STATISTICS OF CHIME no BIBMINGIIA3I.—The cri minal returns for the borough of Birmingham for the last year have just been collected and published by Mr. Stephens, the chief of the police form in that town. Theee returns em brace the number of persons taken into custody with the re sults, together with comparative statements for the years 1839 to 1847 inclusive, and ass upon the whole both curious and interesting. Taking first the returns for the last year, we find the offences classed under six different beads : the first embracing murder, stabbing, assaults, and other offence.s of that character, shows ;that there were; taken into: custody 486 ; of these, 405 were assault cases, 188 of them being upon the pollee in the execution of their duty ; and there were discharged by the magistrates 186; summarily disposed of, or held to bail, 234 ; actually tried and convicted, 16 only. The offences under the second head eml.race ouch crimes as burglary, housebreaking, &C.: there were taken into custody, 63 ; discharged by the magistrates, 11 . ; com mitted for trial, 40; convicted, 24.

PAUPERISM IS LAROELY ON THE INCREASE within the district comprised in the Lincoln union. In the pour bouse the number of inmates has rapidly risen from LA to 280. The additions comprise able-bodied persons and fa miliea.-77se Nottingham Journal says, the Guardians of the Loughborough Union have latterly refused to admit able-bodied vagrants into the Union Workhouse fur the ' night, and the result has been that the " dark hole," at the top of Mill-street has been crowded to excess. On Monday night the sergeant of the night watch, being attracted to that place by a great disturbance, found 17 persons—eleven men, a boy, and five women—crowded into a place which is only adapted for holding half a dozen. Lockwood called up the clerk to the Board of Guardians, who instructed him to take the women toe lodging house for the night, which he did. This "hole" is scarcely fit to put a human being into et all, much less is it adapted for so great a number as are fre quently there." At the Nottingham Board of Guardians, on Tuesday, the number of inmates in the Union Nouse, was reported to be 943. Upwards of 200 vagrants had been relieved during the week, whilst the number of out-door paupers receiving relief was 2941. The clerk read the following letter, which had been received from the Poor law Beard Poor.law Board, Somerset House, Nov. 30, 1846.—Tke poor -law hoard hare received a communication from the Cokalat Lad end Emigration 000111BSZOtiell, propoaing to facilitate the emigration to a limited extent to Australia of young females from the En gtish work houss, provkird they are sent out as soon u they are fit for work, and bare obtained sufficient education.

THE FOLKESTONE CilioB7. — LThe Canterburylournal says :—., For about a fortnight a story has been in circula tion that a' ghost' was to be seen on the . Boyle,' nightly playing his pranks upon those unlucky enough to come within his reach. As is usual in such cases, the most ridi. culotte reports were greedily devoured by the lovers of the wonderful ; children were afraid to stir out of doors after dark ; and women were sees in groups discussing the various tales of ghosts and goblins which they had heard spoken of. A pinion was stated to have been robbed of hie dainties; veal, mutton, and beef patties' vanishing at the sight of the I sm i le ' the piens= leaving his basket in haste to escape from die ghost's clutches. Many schemes were talked of to catch the spectre if he was made of flesh and blood, and drag! him through the Boyle pond.

Some time since Mama and Chapman had beam I out together, when some injury being sustained to the har• nem of a pony, they put things in order, and • shilling was given to Adams by the owners, which Chapman required should be divided, and which he smarts Adana kept. On the night of Monday, Adams was at a public-house at Bar rington, drinking, in company with Arthur Allen, James Condor, and others, when Chapman came in, and, having asked Adams for the id:pence and some ether debt, words airtes, but no tight took h ea then . Between eleven and twelve o'clock Adams left the p house, taking with him his and accompanied by Condor, , Prpte, the landlord, and othen. The three Bret , accompanied him to his pt., where they left him. They had just turned back 'Weill they met Chapman, who used some bad language, and whom they saw entering Adams's gate. Condor and Allen returned a little way, so that:they could see by the light of the moos what took place, and saw Adams come near Chap man and fire his gun. Chapman cried out," He's shot me." Chapman was conveyed home on a gate, where it was found that a wound larp enough to cover a mm's hand had been inflicted an car thigh, and the other thigh had the appear ance of shot having entered. The wounded nun was after wards conveyed to Addenbrooke's hospital. Adams was committed to take his trial at the Walt for the offset*. CHARGES OF FORGENT.—G. E. Sheldon was at brought up at the Cambridge Police-court, on Tuesday for fernery. Mr. Hunt, solicitor, produced a bill, drawn by O B. Sheldon upon, and purporting to be accipted by, J. A. Stewart, of Vfistooh, St. Peter's, which he had &l eonine& for Sheldon. It bore the latter's Indorsement. He had been induced to emit it in the belief that the signature was genuine, and on Sheldon's representation that he did business with Stewart, and had supplied him with considera tion la the shape of perfumery aad other goods. Mr. Rance, solicitor, also advanced mosey to Sheldon, on his promie• sory note, on the 23rd et September, 1848. The amount was TM 10s, Sheldon headed him, as collateral security a promissory note for 401., sod interest, purporting to be signed by "Charles North," and " Robert Jams' Hewett," and payable to Sheldon. Mr. North had afterward said that the eignature was a forgery. Mother ease of the same description was gone into, and the prisoner wee com mitted, tender et bail having been refused. OXIFORDSIMUL ----- THE LATE BOOK-STEALING CABE AT OXPORD.—A few days ago we stated the particulars of a robbery of books from the shop of Mr. H. Blotter, and also from the library of the University Reading-room, by an undergraduate, mem ber of Cambridge University, named Botany, and that he was remanded on the latter charge. On Friday the prisoner underwent another examination at the city gaol, which ended in his being fully committed to sessions en the second charge. It is stated that, after his com mittal, the pr i soner made a confession before his solicitor and Alderman Browning of having stolen the books. In reference to this eon the Cambridge Chronicle says, " There is too much reason to fear that the prisoner has carried en similar practioes in Cambridge. On Wednesday last Mr. Mayor, of St. John's College, inquired of the libra rian to the Union Society if he had missed ' Ward's Ideal of: a Christian Church,' out of the library.tUpon receiving a reply in the affirmative, Mr. Mayor said he believed he had recognised the book in the shop of Mr. Johnson, Sidney street. The librarian proceeded thither, and discovered amongst the stock of Mr. Johnson, who afforded every fa cility to the inquiry, not only the book in question, but about 30 °than belonging to the Union Society. These books, it appears, Mr. Johnson purchased of Balmy at different times. Tee external marks had been carefully erased, and the labels within renamed with so much nicety that it was difficult to dircover that they had ever existed. We understend that no less than 128 volumes have been missed from the Union rooms." COMMISSION BY TYE LOUD LIEUTENANT.—A. Rolls, Erg , and B. P. Herbert, Esq., to be Captains, and R. A.
