m ost trifling political collision. The alarm is accord ugly sounded by the official organ ; and those who s hare, or expect to share, the leaves and fidies of m inisterial patronage, are put upon their good hhayMnr. The King, as we stated in our correspondence of ceeterday, went on Monday en an excursion to Fon • lainbleau; but returned suddenly and unexpectedly nest morning. This counter-movement was ascribed to the intelligence of the defeat of the ministry in the c hamber. A report was spread upon the Bourse on Tuesday afternoon that the ministry intended to m ake a cabinet question of the first vote on the project of electersl rcfotm now 1:r. fore the chamber. hn Patric ann.mnees that the Duke de Gleteksberg, km Secretary el' Legation at Madrid, has been nomi nated Minister Plenipotentiary at that court, not withstanding tne opposition of Count Bresson to his appointment. This measure is attributed in Paris to tile influence exercised by Queen Christina, and the advice of M. lsturitz. Letters received at Anemia, say that the Greek government is determined to resist the claim of the Porte for an apology to M. Museums. Two despatches from Vienna were received at Athens, v h ic h gave some hope of the termination of the affair in a satisfactory manner for the Greek government. Advises received in Paris from Switzerland, sex, that a rupture between Piedmont and Austria Was become inevitable and that all the movements of the Austrian troops indit ate this. The Valteli•te will be occupied to keep up the communications with Monte Stelvict. The Madrid mails of the 18th and 19th were re ceived in Paris on NVednet.dw. The Serrano affair N% 9/ still without gelation. That senator kept up the semblance of concealment, and the ministry recoiled from the danger of bringing him is trial. The inspection of troops which was to have been confided to him was given to Gen. Blazer. The Miniater of Commerce and Public Instruction had infarined the Political Ctief of Oviedo that the Queen had confirmed the concession of the railway tram 5. , 1111 di Longres to Gijon and Villa de Vicosa, a well as to the line from Barcelona to Mataro. It was nported that the cabinet had renounced the intention of raising the loan authorised by In the sitting of Congress of the 18th, M. Cortina envied, in vain, to obtain leave for M. Olozaga to plead his own cause; the Puritans and the Mode rados ennenrred in rejecting this pr Tosition. El 11,11.7) says that the miniseers had not seen the Queen for two days, but that, on the evening of the 18th, she transacted some ordinary business with theta, all referen.:e to the personal affairs of General Serrano being i.appressed. On the msrning of the 18th, Mr. Bulwer had a long private conference with the Queen, the subject of which did nut transpire. Oa the whole, it appears certain that her :Majesty and her cabinet urn upon the most unsatisfactory terms, and that the ministry only hold their offices by dint of the majority they have obtained in Congress. ROME, MARCH 18. The Austrian ambassador appears to have recon sidered the matter of his threatened departure, and, mach to the chagrin of the public here, has chosen to remain. Some compromise was immediately sus pected to have taken place, and some retrograde movement cm the part of the papal cabinet was anti cipated; nor tuts the alarm without foundation, as the events of the last few days have given evidence. On Tuesday an toilet came out suddenly, and took every one by surprise: a heavy stamp tax is thereby laid on sm N EWS2A PERS! and a rigid censorship is announced, under terms of apparent liberality. There is some laudatory phraseology about the press in general, of which popes and bishops are stated to be, if not the inventors, at leant the principal promoters ; the edict gees on to talk of, even, Tionesta libertd Bella stamps," but it only crowns the vic tim with a few flowers of speech previous to immolation. There eau be no mistake about it. Austria has obtained the suppression of public opinion in the journals of Rome, the only free utterances in the whole Peninsula: and Cardinal Girzi has sold his country, and the fair prospects of Italy, for a grim smile from the idiot Vandal at Schiinbrunn. That the Secretary of State alone is to blame in this foul concession, is the opinion dell Rome. The Pope is supposed to have been kept in ignorance sf the intended blow, and hence the firm determination oil the part of the public not to submit to this return of old tyranny. A public meeting of the proprietors, editors, and printers of the 16 journals published in this city, was held yesterday . at the office of the Ce!emporanco, end it was unanimously resolved, that " single newspaper should be published in Rome wail the revocation of the. of ensice edict." The Mar quis of Azelio attended, and spoke in indignant terms of the servile act of the government, as did Men". Gazzols, with Professors Mazi and Gigli, editors of th.s Cobonporaneo: Professor General', editor of the Saggia'ore (Essayist) ; Doctor Ponpili, of the Fanfulio ; Pinto, of the Polka Cerotti, of the Giarispoolenza ; and Professor Morelli, of the Boman Advertiser. An energetic address to the Pontiff was resolved on, and received thirty signatures of editorial representatives on the spot. To-day an adjourned meeting takes place, and is going on while I write ; a crowd of upwards of three hundred printers, with their wives and children, are about to march up to the Quirinal palace ; and such an " agitation" prevails as no one could have fore seen, in a country so newly initiated in the blessings of freedom. I send you the original of this precious edict. I feel each a loathing at the sight of the disgraceful document, that I cannot bring myself to translate it. The copies affixed as usual about Itome have been all torn down during last night ; and some supposed emissaries of Austria have torn off the Papal escutcheon from the Post-office, in order to mix up, if possible, the fair fame of Pius with that of the offend ing Gizzi. I have confidence that our sovereign will instantly revoke this blundering act of his minister. The press of Europe is, after all, the main support of Pins and 1 of his reforms. Of this I have reason to know, that his Holiness is fully aware, and that no churchman has so keenly appreciated that mighty modern revo lution through which the pulpit itself has been eo effectually superseded by the printing machine. The only result of the edict of yesterday (which may, if not annulled, prove as disastrous as the Jesuit Letel lief, revocation of the Edict of Nantes) would be the circulation of clandestine publications like the " Sentinella del Campidoglio," of which I spoke in a previous despatch, besides a host of irreligious broad sheets printed in Switserland, and smuggled, during Gregory's sway, in thousands among the people. My mind is so fell of this vexatious matter, that I can scarce think of any news for you. I may men tion, however, that since the public holding of crimi nal courts (a gracious reform of our new monarch), the able Irish barrister, Mr. Whiteside, Q.C., has been a constant attendant on the sessions, and, I trust, on his return, he will give you the benefit of his experience in Homan law as laid down by Bartell, our "Coke upon Littleton." Prince Borghese has shut up his splendid gallery, and discharged all the eastodes thereof, because some unscrupulous amateur of the stiff school of art has helped himself to a valuable specimen of Pietro l'erugino. Accounts from Florence represent the Grand Dale as affrighted beyond measure at the freedom of public opinion in the Roman press, and he, doubtless, aided Austria in getting the new edict from Gizzi. Every southern and northern despot feels that the battle of human progress is to be fought at Rome, and we all feel the truth of that notion. Here the banner of reform must be unfurled to rally the millions of hereditary bonds men. Sign fer hie statue sign=! hie optima mane idel us. ( VideLiTY.) FRANCE. SECRET NOBLESSE IN PARIS. -- Some time before the death of M. Martin (du Nord), there *a , a tgort that he had been made a Count. It was even loPPeeed that this title of nobility was • calming draught, 11000 in ertremis to the ex-keeper of the seals, to make up for the loss of his health. This supposition was erroneous; now certain that M. Martin was mado a Count 11 '0 years since ; but he did not dare to wear 11,3 feathers of nobility in public. But this is not all ; there are, at the present moment, a considenhl number of counts marquises, and even dukes of more or I ces recen t creation, of whom no one 4 ' . kre. All these nobles in pea* arc awaiting same fa !9_ urAlc occasion to display their nobility to the public. In one can now feel sure that he has not one of these 'TIP Of nobility among his friends or relations here, won have not tho courage t o inform their friends of it, but blush at their own foolery, and dare not wear the tinsel they lived after. Not only are scent nobles created in our days, , ndrancement is {siren in this unknown order. M. de Salvandy gloried in the title of Count ; but, on the day that a marquis entered into his family, the title of Count vanished, and he affected It singelar simplicity, by omitting the title of Count before his signature. This is now explained. M. de Salvandy dial not think he could remain count, with a marquis far his son-in-law ; he has been created duke, and impatiently awaits the day when he may display his new bearings to the public gaze . Such at I least was the report current at the ch ember on Tuesday. M. Lacave-Laplange, who stuck up for the title of " Excel lency " the other day, was jokingly called " Marquis du Deficit." But perhaps ef. . Lecaeo-Lsplagne is one et the new-baked dukes—at all events, he dmenes to be one. BELGIUM. —NAmtIi..—FANATICtSII AND NiVR DER.—In our payee of Wednesday wo gave an 'teen:lnt of a strange murder, of which wo were not able to exeleia the motives and circumstances. A young Count Likekeake entered a village church near Namur and shot his two seders while they were engagtd in their devotions befere a crucifix. We now read, in a Brussels paper, that the only twelve for this dreadful crime wits an insane fete.tieism. The presence walked all night after conunittiug the manta., and boasted of what he had done to a peuant whom he mA on the seed. On being arrested, he effered no resistance. He was token to prison, and soon afterwards was confronted with the c•rpees of his sisters, and asked if he recogtesed them, and if he knew how they Mel been murdered. His reply was, " Yes ; I slew them for their Pelatry." Ile then went on to ascribe the deed to the overruling will of hellct, quoted Deuteronomy to justify the act, and declared that if hr had found his father and mother perpetrating the sin of idolatry, ho would have destroyed them without hsslt,,tion. He elm added that the elder sister was shot dead at once ; but that he had to fire twice upon the youeeer. Tito that shot inflicted no mortal injury ; so he loaded his gnn and fired upon her egain. On further examination it became, fully evident that the prisoner was a monomaniac. His fixed idea was a earions zeal for the restoration of the Hebrew mode of woe- ship. Ile called himself a disciple of Moses, ar.d protested azunst some annuitic.• h ft to his sisters as violations of the Jewish law of primogeniture.

Yesterday a wart was Leld for the despatch of business. _ _ _ CITY OF LONDON CoILFORATION Retwast.—Deputy PEA. come brought up the report of the committee of privileges Of the whole court, " fur power to prepare a bill for effecting certain reforms in the corporation of the City of London. The report stated ne follows ,—" We again proceeded in the further consideration of the mutters re:erred to us, and this court having on the 16th of March been pleased to agree with our report then present d, in which we stated we were of opinion the corporation required some reform, which could only be effected by the aid of parh. taent, and being new of opinion that a bill should be forthwith prepared for ffecting I certain reforms aceonliegly, we recommend that we may be I empowered to prepare the same bill." Upon the tnotieie that the court agree with the report, and that it be refereed back to the committee to prepare the bill, ' Sir I'P.TER Levan; said he considered the proposition ' to prepare a bill for parliament most extraordinary ant in jud.cioua in the petathr poot on of the court. ("Ileac, hear," and " No, eo.") They lead submitted a aeries of pro positions to their lew officers w ith the view of ascertaining the rights and powers of the court, and the opinion of those officers as to the course befit calculated to promote the wel fare of the corperation, and, without waiting for the advice considered an necessary, they wi re for starting at once into parliament. Ho called that a periodical fit. (Load cries of "It is no lit," and " Hear, hear.") There were three parties in the court—one a very amen one, which supported the hazardous course which th. Lord Meilen. had been advis to adopt ; another, also he thouelit a small section, which desired, under any circumstanct s, to go to parliament; and a third, to which he helongeol, end which considered that the corporation possessed pose era by which all reform that was neceesry could be coolly accomplished. (Cries of "Hear, hear," and No, no." At the same time he would , ay that if the motion, unseasonable as it was, were pressed, he should not think it worth while to oppose it, but reserve his opposition until the ad seems of an application to parlia ment should agree upon the form of a bill. Dr. LYNCH said they had affirmed the principle that par liament must be applied to in order that some reform be effected from a source hostile to the corrupt Milo ever of the corporation itself. (" Hear, hear," and expres si ois of di•approhation). It was a gross Wunder, and it was exce-tive folly to believe that the Ccurt of Aldermen would for a moment consent to reform itself, or that any improve meet could be accomplished in such a 'rody without application to parliament. Whateve- powers were inherent in the corporation as to the accomplishment of changes for thn benefit of the citizens of Lmedon, it would be absurd to expect any advantage from the co-op-ration of the Court of Aloermen, that monster evil so which it was most necessary to apply an immediate remedy. There were other evils for which the application of the parliamentary medicine would be necessary ; but the Court se Aldermen stood at the head of all that was bad in the corporation of London. (" No, no," "Yes, yes.") It was saidthat &reconciliation was about to take place between tho two courts. That was exactly what the constituency apprehelided most. (A laugh.) He feared that event himself, fur he knew that such a reform as would spring from such a reconciliation would be delusive and ridiculous. Mr. LAWRENCE said that Mr. King, in denying the sin cerity of those who formed the committee for the considera tion of former measures of reform, exhibited his own insin cerity on the present occasion ; tor, as to the past, that gen tleman had proved himself to be the decided enemy to any proposition calculated to benefit his fellow-citizens. (" Hear, hear, and laughter.) Whateser the feeling's of the majority had been as to the propriety of applying to parliament, from the apprehension of an interfere',. e =jerks= to the corpora. tion, they were now determined to peril all rather than sub mit to endure what they had in t; c present mayoralty been subjected to any longer. (L .nd &scene) It was sail the corporation had the power to reform itself. Why, then, had they not made the effort ? im fact, it would be absurd to hope for the co-operation of the Court of Aldermen when they had a Lord Mayor Wine in such a manlier. (Hear, hear.) The Lord Mayor was meeting out the wish of the Court of Aldermen in riding rough shod over the Court of Common Council. (" Hear, hear," and "N0,n0.") Wes there any man of spirit In the Court of Common Council who would bear such degradation ? (Cheer', and loud cries of "No.") It was said, " But look at what you will lose if you go to p..rliameat." (Ilea?, hear.) But, he would ask, will the aldermen lose nothing ? Will they not be clipped? (Cheers.) They knew it. Tory really did aot object to the Qualification B. They cared nothing about it until they learned that it would oc followed by the more important measure of checking their own expenditure of the City cash. Without application to parliament, the court had nothing to expect but a repetition of what had already occurred. But if an application to parliament would cause the screw to be put upon the Court of Common Council, parliament would see the necessity of screwing up the Court of Aldermen pro portionately, (Cheers.) Mr. It. TAYLOR advocated the report vigorotudy. He objected to the argument of Sir Peter Lurie, that because they had failed before they were to be always frustrated; and he reminded that aldermen of the days of George 1., when fifteen members of the Court of Aldermen had gone to parliament, and succeeded in obtaining an act which comprehended the most flagrant violation of the rights and privileges of the Court of Common Council. (Hear, hear.) Why should not the Court of Common Council apply to tie present parliament for the repeal of that atrocious measure ? Would any one say that the evils which had been fixed upon them by parliament could be removed without the aid of parliament? (Hear, bear.) The difficulties in which they had been placed had been aggravated by the decision against them in thn court of law with respect to the whole sale dealers, and an appeal to parliament was the only means which appeared to him to be likely to render any service. Sir C. MARSHALL had thought that all angry feelings between the courts was dying away. (Loud cries of "No, no.") He was confident that the court would be laughed at if they determined upon going to parliament before they received the report of tha seven gentlemen they had deputed to confer with the court of aldermen. Deputy STEVENS said the object was to prepare a bill for parliament, but not to go to parliament without the con sent of the court. Mr. Asnunisr said the Court of Aldermen showed the greatest promptitude in joining the Common Council when it was proposed to diminish the number of representatives there, or to cause any other essential alteration in that body ; bat the moment a word was uttered about making any change in their own powers, nothing in their opinion could be snore inconsistent. Plc. Ashurst then proceeded to argue with much force upon the necessity of going to parliament. Alderman COPELAND said ho should support the motion, having always been of opinion that the differences betwera the two courts could not be settled without the aid of the legislature. Several other members spoke in farour of the report, amongst whom were Mr. Anderton, Mr. T. H. Hall, Mr. Cash, and Deputy Peacock. it wee opposed by Mr. Dodson. To the arguments need the public ham been for some time accustomed. Ultimately the report wee agreed to by a very great ma jority. The proceedings of the day certainly gave very little hope of the reconciliation spoken of at the commencement of the discussion. Of the determination of the Court of Common Council to go to parliament, there cannot, how ever be the slightest question. Atter the transaction of some busineu of minor import ance, the court adjourned. EAST INDIA HOUSE. The proprietors of East India stock met yesterday in special general court, upon a requisition made by some of their body to the director for considering the cause of the sou-production (as elicited) of vrtain paper connect:4l with the well knows case of the Rajah of Sattara. bir J. Weir Hogg. M.l'., was in the chair. COMPENSATION TO LIEUT. WAOHOIIN. Mr. DAVID SALOSIONS Said that he th•ught it would be advisable in the inter. Ct of Lieut. \Vaghorn to leave his ease in the hands of the Court of Directors, and therefore withdrew the notice of motion be hod given, viz., "to call the attention of the Court of Proprietors to the advantages conferred on India by the exertions of Lieu'. Waghore, and to recommend hint to the favourable onside r.ition of the Court of Directors." TILE DEPOSED RAJAH OF SATTAISA.—Mr. JA'., Lewis thee brought f ',mart' the case of the Rajah of Sattara in purmance of the motion for the production the corre spondence before allude.' to. Tin r, could be no doubt that even those who wire oppored to the claims of the rajah would be favourable to the production of there papers, as they might gu to establbh the innocence of the accused. All the paps n were warded that had passed through the secr:t committee of the India House, or that existed chawlarre,and he should move : Teat the Court •.f Directors be respeet'ally requested to obtain the sanction of the Board of Control for tie secret ettumittee of the court, to lay twtore the Committee of •he Court of Proprietors ell mere - pondente which hes peened between the borne autho hits and the governmtnt of India, in re:atin to or concerning the es-itajah of Sa t t r a t . _ . Major-general BRIGGS seconded the motion. Mr. GEOILGE Tuomesore acknowledged that he was iu posf,osieu of the secret papers, but not by purchase, nor by conn:vance at any dishenest Act. Nothing should indu.se him to pro the name of the party who hat communicated to him the papers. He lied brought them down to that court, and, through the press, they were laid before the public. Sir JAMES WEIR Hoco, the chairman, said the court of el:reetots would not Iv. pumped nut of private correspondence or of converz.tion with the ministers of the crown. For himself, he would not consent to this course. These papers were cl iedestinely, feloniously, and surreptitiously obtained. The hoc. proprietor how thit somebody must have surrep titiously obtained the rapers. He could not but know who I tent him the papers, for he concluded that nothing on earth should induce him to reveal the name of the party from whom he reecived them. The truth must come out. Sorry he (the chairmax) was that any servant of the East India Comnsity should be so brio, as surreptitiously to rob papers. The imputatior.s against the company's officers in India were wholly groundless. As chairman, he and the rest of the oirectors were bound by solemn oath not to refer to the papers in the secret department except with the consent of the Board of Control. The motion in the Ill Use of Commons, by Mr. Hume, for these papers was sure tautly resisted there, and he hoped the court of pro prieters would aid him on that day. Mr. CLALME said the court were bound, in such a ease as the present, to act upon high moral principles, and not upon those of political e apediency. The rajah had been de throne.l upon ez purge statements, without any proper opportunity bein g afforded him et proving his innocence but time had deste%yed the effect of a great per tiou of that evidence, and proved that it was altogether unworthy of credit, and that a base con spiracy had esisted against the rajah. If, therefore, hie de pusitien had taco res dyed upon on evidence that had since been proved to be false, it was the duty of the court to re view the whole of the proceedings that had been taken against him. Mr. I). SALOMONS thought that by an adjournment, some arrangement could be come to with the Bowl of Control. Mr. Mitts (a director), thought the House of Commons was the proper tribune' to dee:de the question. After some more discussion the votes were taken, when there appeare'— Fer the motion Against it There was loud cheering when the numbers were an nounced.—The court then separated. The following din ctors supper:ea the motley Mr. St. G. Tucker, deputy chairman ; Sir It. Campbell, Major Oli phaut, Capt. Shepherd, Col. Sykes, and Oc.i. Robertson. SOUTH SEA HOUSE. Yesterday a quarterly general court of the proprie tors of South Sea Stock was held at the company's house, in Thresdneedle-street, Charles Franke, Esq., the sub- . . , governor, in the choir. The minutes of tho lost court were read and conformed. The aecret"ry read an account of the 130031t11 dub/ of the company, which, however, was the same as that which was read at the hut general court. Mr. lONE/ said, on referring to the accounts, he found it stated that a sum of 'JOO/. a year was received by the company as the rent of a portion of their premises which was let out in offices. Ho wished to know whether any fur ther sum was so received, and to what amount. The CHAIRMAN, in reply, raid that some other parts of the company's premises had been let out besides those mentioned, and it was the intention of the company to let every port of their premises which they could conveniently spare. The rental at present received for such part of the premises so let amounted altogether to shout 1,2391., which include& the sum which had previously been mentioned. _ . . . . . Mr. MOCATrA, Jun., inquired it the chairman could inform him what was the remelt that South Sea Stock was an low in the market, and whether there was any probability that government would incorporate it with the Three-per Cent. Consols. The CHAIRMAN said the low price of the South Sea Stock might perhaps be attributable to the bonus, amount ing to 200,0001., which had been distributed among the pro. priaitore. Th. re was a differenee in the value of Three per Cent. Consols over Three per Cents. Reduced, amounting to nearly half per cent., owing partly to Chancery fonds being invariably invested in that stock, and that all time bargains were made in it, which gave it a nominal value which other stock did not pesters. Mr. hlocarrs., Jun., still thought that, u government guaranteed the payment of the dividend of the company's stock, it ought to fetch a higher price in the market. Mr. JONEB wished to know what rent was paid by the Trust Company for that portion of the South Sea Company's premises which were oecolied by them. The CHAIRMAN said the company alluded to by the honourable proprietor had not yet been established, and did not at present pay any rent for the offices e7cupied by them. The Trust Company being so intimately connected with the South Sea Company, it was thought advisable not to charge the former any rent until they were completely established as a company, when, of course, they would be charged such an amount of rent as the directors might think proper. The court then adjourned. NOIITEI op ENGLAND BANN.—The directors of the North of England Join:-Stock Banking Company, under the pressure of their arduous and trying situation, hare made a call upon the proprietary of 61. per share, payable on the 31st instant. It will be apparent to the shareholders, upon slight reflection, that they will best consult their own safety and interest by meeting . this demand upon their resources with all the alacrity i n their power. A great number of urgent claims are being pressftl upon the bank. Those claims can only be satisfied by immediate payment, and it is manifest that unless the shareholder: come for ward promptly, and strengthen the hands of the &rectors with large pecuniary means, litigation will imme- diately follow, and the consequences be very serious to themselves. The following circular has been issued by the directors during the present week : " The directors of the North of England Joint-Stock Banking Company beg to inform the shareholderA, that since the dishonour of the drafts of the establishment their attention has . . been uncewongly occupied in the consideration of the course most expedient to be pursued for the realisation of the assets of the bank, and the speedy settlement of its affairs. The time that has elapsed since the operations of the bank were brought to a close has been too short to enable them to mature and submit to the shareholders the plan which in their judgment would be best calculated to attain this desirable object. The magnitude ef the transactions of the bank necessarily require some time for due investigation end it must be equally obvious that the interest of all parties demand that the assets should be collected with all possible expedition, but yet so as to avoid unnecessary sacrifice. the obligations of the bank must on the other hand be met, and there are many demands which it will be impossible to postpone; to enable these to be satisfied the directors have ordered a call of LI per share, payable on the 31st inst., and they would earnestly impress upon the shareholders the extreme importance of the punctual pay ment of this call. It is the intention of the directors to visit the shareholders in their respective districts, and notice of the time will forthwith be issued. It will then be their duty to explain the reasons which have induced them to fol:uw tl.c course now pointed out. In tha meantime they will continue sedulously to devote themselves to the con cern,' of the bank, end to the winding up of its affairs. With the least practicable delay they will - convene a general meeting of the shareholders, and submit to them a state ment of the affairs of the company, and be ready to afford all requisite information for fully elucidating its poaition.— Neterattle Jow nal.

JEWS' INFANT SCUGOL.—The third annual ball in aid of the above school, was held last evening at Willie's Rooms. By about eleven o'clock the ball room was well ' filled by an dega .t company, consisting chiefly of ladies and gentlemen of the Hebrew community, who appeared to be copying themselves to a degree seldom witnessed in an assemblage of our own, perhaps too unexcitable aristocracy or gentry. There were preser.A, the Baron and Baroness de Goldsrnid and family, Sir James Milbank, Bart., and lady, and most of the wealthy Hebrew families of the metropolis, amounting altogether to nearly 400. A subscription list was handed round between the dances, which, before the end of the evening, was filled up with various sums amount ing to between 3001, and 4001. M.

Pickford and Ce., railway carriers, at the Camden-etetion of the London and North-Western Itsitway, on the afternoon of Tuesday last.—William Sanders was hell called, and in answer to the coroner, said, he was a carpenter in the employ of Messrs.

Between two and three o'clock on the afternoon of Tuesday last he was at work with some other men, finishing some stables under some arches which had been erected for :he formation of a roadway on to Mum.

Witness, the deetased, end the other men, ran towards the entrance, but before they could reach it, four of the arches fill in. Witnsu was struck down, and himself, deceased, and three others, were buried beneath the brickwork. Wit ness was stunned by a portion of the falling mass striking hint on the heart, and temembered nothing until after he was got out. He then saw the bodies of his companions got out end removed to the hospital.—The Coroner: New, can you give us any iuleanation as to the c LUie of the arches full tag?—The witneu tai'. he could not, except that there wits an iron tension rod found broken.—The Coroner : Then it will be better for the jury to meet en the spot and view the place, fer in cases of bats desee:ption a most searching iuquiry is demanded.—Mr. Piper said he he'e ved that the N i:w of the ruins would not materially aid the jury in coming to a conclusion.—The Ceroner : I suppese you ire not prepared to say that the building give way from eel , fault of your own ?—Mr. Piper: Certainly nee—The Canine:: th ese cases arc of the greatest importance : i the public, More espe cially as several lives are placed in jeopardy ; and, under the circumstances, we had better have the jury view the pre- Inilkel.—The jury were then discharged ; and it w,..s under stood the proceifings would be rue eed at Camden-town on Saturday.--Suretnes—Before Mr. W.

The grand jury of the county of Cork having ap plied to the Lords of the Treasury to adeaace money to enable them to pay the amount of damages awcuded for the lands h.jured by the proceedings under the Labour Rate Act, Mr. Trevelyan has re plied for their lordships in the negative. They ap plied also for permission to present a certain sum "at each assizes to remunera' the parties engaged in aseertainii.g the amount of those damages: This also has been refused. - The Lord-lieutenant has refused the prayer of a memorial of the grand jurors of Cork to appoint • stipendiary magistrate at Clonakilty ; and he has re fused to call an extraordinary presentment sessions in that county. The great centre of turbulence is beginning to show symptoms of improvement. The assizes new going on in the North Riding are likely to purge off many of the vicious characters. The transportations will be very numerous. The indications of social improvement appear in the comparative facilities of prosecution. The crown witnesses are more numer ous as well as courageous, and prisoners are identified with far less reluctance than in the good days of intimidation. The Nenagh Guardian says, that mach of this improvement is owing to the Catholic clergy and constabulary—to the former, for their prompti tude in recognising and candidly admitting the good or evil characters of the parties charged—and to the latter, for their admirable organisation in tracing crime and bringing it to justice. Another symptom of returning social health in the North Riding is the expressive fact, that agrarian outrages since the last assizes have been unusually few. William Foster, of Norwich, who has been engaged in a tour of humanity along the north-west and west ern bord"r, reports on the state• of the Mayo prison in Castlebar, for its "good order, cleanliness, and general appearance." He suggests—what should be more rigidly attended to in oar county prisons—that the male prisoners, and particularly the young men and boys, should, out of school-hours, be employed in some useful and industrial occupation. Lord George Bentinck, who has been feasted with resolutions and addresses, still revels in the banquet. His pen was scarcely dry after the dashing reply to the Limerick panegyrists, when the Mayo magnates invited him to a renewal of his profound apprecia tion" of the " warm-hearted nation," &c. Lord George, too, kicks at the " Irish party," which lies not between two, but many stools. THE RECENT MURVER IN K mar.mtv.—No tort of the perpetrators of the late barbarous murder has since been obtained, sad, melancholy to relate, as yet those miscreants hare got clear off with the blood-earned booty, through the guilty connivance or equally reprehensible apathy of the peasantry. The assauiti who received the lire of the unfor tunate gentleman whose murder he was assisting at, still continues to linger on, and some hopes arc now entertained of his surviving the effects of his wound, to pay the penalty which outraged society demands for his crime. —Kilkenny Journal. DEATH or SIR H. Canntat.—The Freeman's ✓ournal announces the death of Sir Henry Carden, of Bantam, county Tipperary, baronet.

It is announced that he is to take part in a meeting to be held here on Thursday, when resolutions, condemnatory of the plan, are to be proposed. He has been invited to attend, it is said, by the Central Board of Dissenters. On Friday he is to attend a meeting at Glasgow, where similar resolutions are to be proposed. Notice of his intention to be present, and take part in the proceedings of this meeting, was given from the pulpits of all the Voluntary dissenting clergy in Glasgow, on Sunday last. The fierce Voluntaries are loud in their protestations that they will keep an eye on members of parliament, and see how they vote when the educational item of the estimates is moved. This movement on the part of the clerical and dissenting voluntaries is freely canvassed. The voluntary agita tion in Scotland was originated by them as purely as ecclesiastical question—as a step towards emancipat ing church discipline from the interference of the state. In secular questions—and secular education surely is one—they disclaimed all rigbt of interference on the part of the church. Yet now we fled them banded to oppose government in its attempt to extend education to all without giving any one sect an ad vantage over another. I believe they over-estimated their power. Some of the most efficient of tke lay ad vocates of the voluntary principle belong to the Established and to the Episcopal churches ; some belong to no sect; and some,though Dissenters, are not disposed to tolerate any priestly tone in a p resby ter. These men have contributed such of the intellect that has been developed in the course of the agitation ; and the present illiberal movement is likely to drive them off. The sectarian, the mere non-conformist residuum, will make but a poor show without them. With one or two exceptions, the really learned and intelligent of the voluntary clergy appear to have been urged reluc tantly into this movement by the elders or managing committees of their congregations, instigated by the more narrow-minded of the clew - . It is to be hoped that the Baines crusade will elicit a counter-demon stration from the really educated and liberal portion of Scotch society. There is reason to believe that the Bainesites will provoke something of the kind. One of the Edinburgh town councillors has given notice of his intention to move, in the council, a series of resolutions condemnatory of the government scheme of education. There is no chance of their being carried; and their rejection may encourage the friends of education in other quarters to speak oat. HION COURT OP JUSTICIARY, EDINBURGH, M %RCN, 22.—The Court met this day. Present, the Lard Justice Clerk, Lord Medwyn, and Lord Mackenzie.

On venturing the gallery, which ws pineecl against the wall cf the south aisle and partially hid three noble windows, some nf the plaster with which the wall had been covered gave way, and exposed in several places some mutilated cruarnentol stone work which had be longed to the chambriu rr sloe chapels, which iometime previous to the Deformation were very numerous in this church. On carefully removing the phis. er antler the win dow nearest the south transept, three niches were found, divided by very elegant early Eaglish clustered columns.

Further to the west is a large niche sur mountid by a crocheted =tinny very fir.ilar in shape and "ire to that over the "Prior', Tomb" in the north Male, The remades of colour tan be trnrcd in the mouldings, and the atone shield in the centre emblazoned, quarterly or and ar. a bend gu.

It is richly carved on one aide end painted with a diavr pattern on the other, and haring been boarded over on bolt ei is, it hes sustained but little injury. Some joints of cliesrut wood, curiously ornamented with gilding, which no doubt formerly decorated some part of these chapels, wu also foiled under the niLlem flooring in a perfectly sound state. No monu mental stone or any inscription whatever remain', and it is tl erctore to be feared that they must have been rciboved nod destroyed when the gallery and modern pews were erected.

Two ROBBERIES ON 'MN LONDON AND NORTN- • WISTERN AND MIDLAND RAILWAYS have just been mule known. The lint war committed on Friday night, and the second on Monday night. It appears that some trucks, laden with cotton goods, arrived at the Rugby station about 10 o'clock cn Friday night, on their way from Norwich to Birmingham and Manchester ; being too late for the leggier train to the last-named place., the trucks were left on one of the " off lines," about half a mile from the station, in as unguarded state, during the remainder of the night.
