LET Corruption rejoice and Intimidation clap her hands, for they have obtained a renewal of their lease for another year. They have obtained it, more over, under circumstances of more than ordinary di/- regard to the rights and feelings which they eye ternatically end sordidly outrage. On farmer occa sions, when the selfish instioete of a majority of the House of Commons prompted them to reject the pro posal that votes at elections should be exercised independently, there has always been a cer tain show of decent deliberation in the act, and a profusion of protestations that if the Ballot were believed to be an effectual remedy it would not be so refused. However hollow such pro kssions m•y have been they were at least acceptable, in the sense of the homage which is said to be paid to virtue by its inveterate antagonist; and in the eyes of those who above all things desire to avoid giving cause for popular alienation and resentment, these solemn pliusabilitiee possess the merit of being at once stimulants to increassdoosetitational pressure and proofs of constitutional impressibility by argument and reasoo. But in the division of Tuesday last—he debate there was Done—the practise of expostulation was contemptuously abandoned. The statement of notorious evils made by the hon. mover of the pro posed resolution, and the narrstive of demoralisation and oppression presented by him on behalf of elector, to a house of so-called representatives, wen hardly listened to and utterly disregarded. Is an assembly consisting of 2d7 members the principle was silently of that the grievances of mere common electors, who complained of being practically disfranchised by reason of the system now pursued, were not worth considering or discussing. No better expedient was suggested than that of silent voting ; no other alter native was so much as named ; and, by a majority of forty, permission was summarily related to bring in a bill foe the purpose of defending the poor man against the lawless oppression now exercised over him by the unscrupulous amongst the powerful and the rich. It is impossible to look at the manner in which the majority and minority were composed without watt' meats of mingled satisfaction and regret. Among the votes recorded in favour of independent instead of bought or bullied suffrages are to be noted those of the representatives of nearly all the great cities and many of the wealthiest and most en lightened towns of the kingdom. We are not unconscious of some minims, but we an unwilling to dwell invidiously upon exceptions which in two or three instances were, we know, the remit of accident, not of indifference or design, and which in *then, we are ready to hope, may be attri butable to similar comm. In the main the influential constituencies of the empire are am incontestably in favour of the Ballot as they ever were; and if their opinions on this as on so many other questions are mornfully countervailed and nullified by the votes of lordly nominees and purchasers of rotten boroughs, it is for them to consider whether a state of things is safe or endurable which seems only calculated to issue like manifestations of usurping power. The unetersochised many have always warned the 101. constituencies that, without a large and liberal measure of elec•oral comprehension, no reforms like the &hot would ever be extorted from the existing Legislature. If the *bled of Conservatism was to show that this impreesion is well-founded, the course taken by its advocates has been admirably chosen ; and we °manned to the sober consideration of all earnest Ltb:rals, whatever may have hereto- fore been their nominal shades of opinion, the proof which is afforded by the division on Mr. BERKBLET'S motion, that when the rights of the people are set in the balance against the privileges of caste, all minor differences are forgotten in the party of Resistance. PORTSMOUTH, Mem 21. Her Majesty, Prince Albert, sod the Princess Royal, mate over to this part this morning from Osborne in the Fairy, screw yacht, to resides the Prince Frederick WillLmef Prussia. The visit wee privet*, no standard flying, nor say other indication of royalty henget board she yacht being displayed. Prince Albert, and one of the attochis of the mart, landed at the dockyard, being remind there by the proper ofddals of the part and ge , rison. From the dockyard they proceeded, in one of the royal carriages, to the railway terminus to meet the young prince, who arrived at the terminus, from Folkston', at he f-past 12, and acierompanied Prince Albert back to the dockyard, Iron whines they embarked on board the Fairy. The Prussian standard was hohted at the Fairy's masthead, and was sainted by the V.ct wr, in harbour, the garrison, from the raniparte, and by the fleet at Spitheed. The illaetrions visitors arrived at Osborne at about half past ass. Of the majority of 151 who refued to entertain the qaestioo of free and independent voting is the election of members of parliament, no fewer than OM hundred and fillers were Coseervatives of one or other denomination. Mr.DIIIIAELI and Mr. OLAD. awn, Mr. HENLEY and Sir JAMES Orient, Sir FREDERIC Turmas& and Mr. MUNDELL PALMER, joined in heading the compact array of Toryism which, on this °cession, lent its strength to Ministers to defeat the bulk of their own habitual supporters. Lord PALMERSTON could not induce forty Whip to accompany him into the Midst of his Tory majority—for Tory it confessedly was I. substance sod spi 1 , , in temper and in design.

If fully and fairly polled.. majority of Liberals even in the present House of Commons would, we believe, be foiled to be in favour of the Ballot; and it is intolerable that their deliberate judgment, backed as it notoriously is by that of the prepoaderant sum of t h e educated and independent coostiturrocies of the kingdom, should be ministerially spurned by an open resort to the hereditary and coosistent *amiss ot all ooacessioa sad rotors The Doke of Wellington, as Mostar of the Home to her Majesty, has lewd cads (or a grad fall-due hawing' on the 31st instant, to *debut, the Quires birthday, at Apeley Howe.

The Presse d'Orierst announces that the Porte is preparing a convention, regulating the details of the evacuation. Six English regiments are leaving for Canada, five for Gibraltar, three for Corfu, and nine for Malta. The Sardinian division has left. The Porte proposes to create a gendarmerie after the French model. Lord Stratford de Radcliffe has obtained the assur ance from the Ottoman government that the severest measures shall be taken against the assassins of M.

The labours of the commission named for settling the limits of the frontiers of Bessarabia will extend over three months. The Turkish Contingent are to quit Kertch for Asia, for the purpodi of reinforcing moveable columnr. Boa-Mssa has taken up his residence at Batoum. The criminal process at Varna relative to the mur der of a Bulgarian girl by a Puha, is terminated. The Pacha has been found guilty, and his sentence was about to be published. A report from Sefer Packs, addressed to the Porte, confirms the taking of the village of Sunnech, in Cireassis, by the Russian., the latter carrying off 8.000 bead of cattle.

Immense quantities of corn from the Levant are expected in July, and therefore a considerable fall may be looked for before that time. MALTA, MAT 16. The proclamation published by the goverament has had the effect of quieting the people. The Italians circulate freely through the city. A pardon has been granted to all except the murderer of the inspector of police. THE BOUND DUES.

The government of his Holiness evidently consi ders the tons adopted in the British Parliament, rela tive to the present condition of Italy as something too monstrous to remain in the unnoticed obscurity to which foreign observations on Roman affairs are usually condemned by the official journal of this city. In the number published yesterday evening, the Roman Journal quotes Lord Palmerston's speech of the sth instant, with the following moderate pre amble : " Lord Palmerston spoke at length in favour of the treaty, and we do hot hesitate to bring before the eyes of our readers the following words uttered by the noble lord, in order that they may render tbem the subject of seriousconsideratioe."Theßoman journal then briefly quotes his lordship's remarks on the foreign occupation of Central Italy, and merely displays its abhorrence of his sentiments by printing the concluding sentence in italics—" The holy city was never better governed than during the absence of the Pope, who cannot maintain himself in Rome without the support of a foreign force." I understand that it is by his Holiness's express command that these strictures, more or less faith fully translated, make their appearance in the official journal ; probably with a view to appeal to the better judgment of Christendom, and the attachment of his own subjects, on a question so vital to the Hily See as any modification of its tenure of temporal and sovereign dominion. It is, however, to the decision of the European Powers that the Ecelesiastieal Government must torn its anxious attention in the peseta emergency, for little hope of sympathy has it from the inhabitants of the Roman Sates beyond the narrow circle of those whose immediate interests are connected with priestly dominion. The diplomatic exertions of Antonelli and the inert resistance of Austria are what the court of Rome chiefly trusts to for salvation from the ruin which menaces its despotic rule. The conferences between the Pope and the Grand Duke of Tuscany are not likely to furnish any in surmountable obstacle to the will of the Northern Powers, even should they cr'incide with the determi nations of his Bourbonic Majesty of Naples. His Holiness paid the Grand Duke a visit on Monday, and was received by his royal highness, together with his sons and the Count of Trapani, brother of the King of Naples, at the foot of the stairs of the Palazzo di Firenze, the Mies of the grand ducal party and the Couotess of Trapani meeting the Pope at the entry of the suite of apartments. The present political difficulties and the conditions of a Concordat are given as the subject of • long conversation be tween the Pope and Grand Duke, but such matters are probably treated in a more business-like way by Cardinal Antonelli and the Duke of Ceasigliano than by their sovereigns. Much as the Papal government owes to the Emperor of the French, it cannot yet forget the part once taken by him in revolutionary movements subversive of the Papal throne. A singular proof of this lurking antipathy was recently afforded by the refusal of Father Buttaoni, master of the Sacred Palace, and official censor of the press in Rome, to grant permis sion for the publication of a biography of Napoleon 111., recently translated from the French by Signor G—, a Roman letterato of merit; who then applied for the necessary authorisa tion from Monsignor Berardi, under-secretary of state. Being again relined, he entreated to know whether there was anything objectionable which he could expunge from his manuscript, and so render it fit for the public; but the prelate replied frankly, " How can we possibly allow you to publish the bio graphy of a man whore trial for political offences in this country has not yet been completed?" The author had nothing further to urge against so potent a reason, and acknowledged that it would be better, all things considered, not to publish a work which might contain revelations prejudicial to the interests of the Emperor. NAPLES. (PROM OEM OWN NAPLES. MAT 15. The last notices from the Conferences, embracing the whole of the protocols, have been received here with great satisfaction ; for, though the representa tives of Rue,* Prussia, and Austria refused to dis cuss the Italian question, men feel that it has made a great advance, and hope that something will now be done. Austria—for in Austria is the entire Italian question centred—may resist; but she cannot successfully resist the united opinion and action of England and France, supposing France to be as earnest and as honest as her ally. Therefore are the Italians more hopeful, and the silence of expectation seems to have invaded all things. As to the probs. , bility of Austria anticipating the Western Powers, and presenting a note herself to this court, she has done nothing that diplomacy knows of, at pre sent; and it is much to be desired that she should not. In fact, the whole affair would be a farce—it would be Austria presenting a note to herself, for there can be no hesitation in saying that it is Aus trian occupation and her moral influence which give strength and vitality to despotism in Italy. 'To morrow would and must be changed the state of things were her support withdrawn from the feeble sovereigns who now claim the right of misgoverniog the most beautiful country in Europe. The only effectual mode of accomplishing any good will be through the interposition of the Western Powers : a crowd of reasons for this intervention suggest them selves, for experience has already proved that diplc antic notes, the exposures of the press, and the indig nation of the world have not produced the slightest change. On the contrary, except in a relaxation of the action of the police, things have been falling from worse to worse. _ _ One astounding fact is in itself a sufficient proof of tilt Insensibility of this government to public opinion ; and that is the sufferings of the political prisoners continued at such a conjuncture as the present. I communicated to you some details recently ; to these I add others of a more harrowing description. With out any regard to bodily suffering, those unfortunate men are not only kept lingering in a prison, the damp. nese of which is destroying them, but are compelled to wear a chain. So much oppressed is Poerio by its weight that he varies his suffering by shifting it from his waist to his shoulders, according as the severe pains in his back or his cheat render necessary. My statement is not exaggerated; it is the simple troth, sod may be implicitly depended upon. Poerio can scarcely walk, and yet bears a chain. Order is a well-sounding word, but what is the order worth which is built upon such barbarities as these, and which gives its sanction to a system of government which is daily more and more demora lising and impoverishing the country ! Councils of miuiiters are being held continually, but I do not think anything of importance is being discussed. Indeed, the general feeling is that the King will resist interference and assert his divine right to miagoverument. It is for other Powers to consider, not whether they .will permit a violation of justice and humanity, but whether they will permit a smouldering fire to remain near their own houses. One or two cares of political arrest have occurred within the last week, though one of the persons was set at liberty directly. Great anxiety, too, is felt u to the expression which public feeling assumes at present, sud the police tooctionartes have received orders to send in full reports. In this solemn crisis, time is still found to prohibit wide-awakes of a chest nut colour, whilst black and white ones ate legalised. The following curious fact occurred • few days since. Tne frigate Amelia bad been ordered for sea, for the exercise of the Guardia Marine. A ministerial order docked the rations to the amount of one condo of wins a day.

I have been in pr.c tice twenty or thirty year., and am a member of /event I d s.cieties both Enghell arid foreign. I have seen many cases of tetanus, both traumatic and idiopotbie. I have seen four of the latter cl to ; they did not al commence with the symptoms of 14a.jaw. Coe did not so com mence. I have been present during the evidence of the symptoms of Mr. Cook, and bar , .1.0 previously read the depositions relating to that part e f the ca.e. I am of opi nion, from all the fact. thus brought to my knowledge, VAS ' Cook died of some convulsive disease. I found t its opi nion upon the symptoms described in the de pl6itiOUP, and on the evidence before the court. With regard to the a)mptoms as desnibed by the witnesses to this court, I am of opinion he died of some coavulaive disease. The pre . rhino state of health of the deceased confirmed my opinion in this respect. Mr. Sarjearit She. here took up the examination of the witness upon en ohj ction taken to the mode of 'geminate:a with regard to the symptoms ex►ibited by t►e deemed. The witne's fur - her said—l have paid attention to the evidence relating to the previous state of health of the de. ceased, the symptoms at the time of his death, and the putt' enters of the post mortem eaaminatioe. I alto heard the evidence relating to tee state of his throat. I arsume the deceased to have been a men of very delicsto constitution, that for a long period he tilt himself to be ailing, for which he had been under medical treatment, ih.t he had suffered from e)philts, that he bad disease of the lunge, and old studios digress of the throat, th.t he led an irregular life, that be was suhjectto mental excitement, and that al er death spumous ware found on his ho ly which showed this tO be the use. There was found an unusual appearance within the stomach, the throat wee in an unnatural condi tion, and the bock of the tongue showed simi:ar itdications. The lungs were in a diseased eonditi in, and the air cells dilated. Tnere was an unnatural deposit in the aorta, and there was a very un•eual deposit in the membranes of the spinal marrow. These were all unnatural indications upon the pent mortem examina`ion. I am also of opinion that one '.f the eons mentioned could only have resulted from a ethereal ulcer. From all there eircumstuces I should infer that the state of health of the deemed to told not have been good, and coupling them with the tart tt a' the father and mother of the deo wed died coons, I am I opinion that Cook's con dition would reed. r bim very liable to nervous irritations. I also think 1114 moral Causes in sect • constitution would be likely to produce the same result Any ex citement or depression would, in my tpnion, have that tendency, and so would a ri•oroered sumach; but in this case a good deal would depend upon the violence of that disorder. V olent comities would also produce effects much greater than on • healthy person. Exposure to wet and cAd would also have much more affect than they would have os • aulthy person, and a convulsive diseath was much m re likely to sop TUT, in a conatituticia such as that I source Co .k's lo have been. I understand that be awake suddenly two or three night. be fore Lis death and s►id he was hall mad, and that he had two other similar attacks, each r c :erring about theism hour; and I infer from these circumath..cee the they were of a convulsive character, in the absence of uthi r causes to ac count for them. Cunvu'sive 'nuke are very various in their forms and degrees—u ranch as is pos•ible. It is not peseible to give 'definite name to the dseren• cheeses of convuhions that occur in the human frame. There ere some forms of convulaioes in which the patio' t retains his c thscioustuse. flp PPP iP is one of them. It i. sated in the books also, that there ere some to: ins f 'Oh ptio convulsions in which the patieatleuies his corsaiousneu. The Lord Chief Justice-1i ITO you ever met with such a case?

Convulsions, properly so called, sometimes assume the form of a cyanic door. .er. I bare red the passage from Dr. Copeland's work, and I egret entirely with what he there states ea to the eyruptono of convulsion,. They apply to coeuslelorts arising from almost any cause, worms in children, hysteria, asd in come uses the administration of chlorr font. This would also apply to convulsions occa sioned by thieve of the spinal cord, or eating indigestible feed. 1 have cover known an inrance of its laTirlng from retching and vomitirg. I ogres with Dr. Copeland that these cenvulei,,ms fr. quently end almost immediately hi death, and the immediate or prosimate cause of death in that case would be asphysia, or suffocation. I also urn in the epinio• that coovulsions do recur, and I have myself seen such CAN., and where there have been periods of hours and tornetim.s data between the attack,. I have seen • patient r, cover in • few minute.. a din others some hour' have eloped between the fite In eon of this kind I inf. r that the convulsien grins from some irritation of the heath or dinan of the spinal cord, hut it frequently happen' in these c uses that epee a pay mortem examina tion ro trace of di can be found. I mu not aware of the existence of granules in the dere muter being common at any age, and I should not draw any particolar inference from thole appt trance. 1 have not formed any (pinion as to the cause or effect of these granules, but they might undoubtedly produce an effect uron the spinal cord, end there are instances where the patients are said to have died from tetanus in conuquerce of them. I have seen preparations of such cases in St. Thomas's Iloepital. I consider in such • case that the post mortem examination of the spinal cord should take place immediately titter drub, in order to the forming of a sitiafectory op nof the cause of death. A large tumour might poetibl be found at any period, but airy softening or induration at tee spinal marrow could not be die livered if any leeg hefted period, such as two months, had 'larded. The nervous structure undergoes a c =piste change very shortly after death. I c insider it moult he nee eeeee y to use a micro note to ezomine the nervous structure to ascertain wheal , rit was diseased. I have seen a {col many cuss of traumatic t. tenus. Three of the cases of idiopathic tettnas that I attended wen ace inpanied by Inek-;aer u the first symptom. The fourth eau began on the body, the facility of swallowing remaining. I have nude the pout mortem exa mieetioa of tw , p-rsons who died from psis on by strychnine within the last twelve ciente", and I bare seen the effects of au overdose of artychrone. I dirt not see either of the patients before death. I eventoined, by the mieal analysis in toll ewe, that the death arose from strychuis. In both cases I ascertained the r once of "'eyehole. In one instance the p art mortem examination was forty-two hours after death, and she other thirty hour'. The body in ih- first case was entire when I commeneed the examination. [The wither read from his notes the particulars of the postmortem rumination. The expreeeion of the face wee distorted, goo the limb' rigid.
