THE ECLIPSE OF TILE SUN (TO-DAY). From about half-past 2 till 3 this afternoon, occa sional glimpses of the progress of the eclipse have been gained through points where the clouds which are con tinually fuming over the sun's disk have been somewhat less dense than in other places, but at the hour of going to press—about the time of the greatest obecuration—the darkness visible "is the only indication which the inhabitants of the metropolis have that anything unusual is taking place. An almost un broken, though not dense, veil of clouds precludes all prat bad observation of the phenomenon. The following is from a correspondent of the Daily ,Neers To-day, a sudden darkness will arrest the banker at his counting-house, the artist at his easel, the mechanic at his loom. To be conversant with the laws which govern the solar syotem, to follow the development of world., is an ambition that enters the minds of compa ratively few thinkers. Yet to-day, when the light declines at noun, thousands will long to know the laws at work. Men will be strangely 'sieved at the sight, and will be in clined to reverence the professors of the science which enables us to foretell the event with the utmost accu racy. For the phenomena that will attend the eclipse of to-day, the learned astronomer royal endeavoured, some months back, to prepare the public. Ile de scribed the genera phenomenon as " perhaps the most awfully grand that man can witness ;" and declared that the largest partial eclipse did not give the least idea of a total eclipse, at regarded either the generally ter rific appearances or the singular nature of some of the phe nomena. lle concurred in the armaments used by Mr. Bally with regard to the eclipse of . 1 hales, which suspended a bunle between the Lyiliarg and the Modes, to the effect that it must have been a total eclipse, and that in this case there could be no difficulty in believing the historian's ac count to he literally correct. The explanation given by the astrenuiner of the simple cause* which produce an eclipse is simple., and, popularly speaking, perfectly intelligible. The moon's dietame from the earth, in the first place, is about one-four hundredth part of the sun's distance; and the diameter of the moon is almost one-four-hundredth part of the sun'. diameter; it follows therefore that, on the average, the sun's apparent diameter and the moon's appareut diameter are very nearly equal. In illustration it may be remarked that were the sunlit the moon's distance from the earth it would appear four hundred times the site of the moon; and were the moon at the sun's distance it would ilimnish in apparent sire to us, to ,four-hundredth part of its present visible diameter. But, in consequence of the elliptic forme of t heir orbits, the sun's distance is liable to little variation, while that of the moon is liable to very considerable variation : thut, when the moon is at the mow distant part of her orbit, her visible diameter is smaller than the sun's, and if at that time she comes be tween a spectator and the sun, she will be seen as a dark disk, covering the central part of the sun, and leaving a ring of light all round; but, when the moon is at the nearest part of her orbit, her apparent diameter is larger than the sun's, and she will, to a spectator in the proper locality, completely veil the sun from him, and produce a total eclipse.. In the same way that a button, held close to the eye, will cover the surface of the moon from view—so the moon, although infinitely smaller than the sun, hide, the great luminary from us when her comparatieu distance is Imo than her comparative size to the sun. Having endea voured to illustrate the astronomer's meaning, and to ren der the general phenomenon intelligible to the least scien tific reader, it will be interesting to recall the circumstance to popular attention, that hour successive total eclipses oc cur in the month of July at regular interval, of nine years, namely, 1833, July 17; 1842, July 8 ; 1141, July ti : and 1880, July 18. The astronomer explained these eclipses at regular intervals by showing how it happens that at inter vals of nine years the moon's orbit was in such a position as to coos the sun's disk, and how, at these regular intervals, the mom was at nearly her smallest distance from the earth. Ho declared that—" In reference to the former, it was shown that the moon revolves in an orbit whose plane is inclined to the plane of the ecliptic (the appamdurbitof the san round the earth), and that the inclination is nearly in veriable but that the position of tho line in which the plane o f moon's orbit intersects that of the ecliptic is constantly changing, revolving steadily in the direction op posite to the moon's motion, and performing a complete re solution in something more than nineteen years. There fore, if one node or extremity of this line of intersection were directed nearly to the July sun in 1833, the opposite nude would be directed nearly to the July sun in 1842 and so on fur lour successive 'serials of nine y ears; and eclipses would be possible in July at the end of each period. But to show that they might be total eclipses, it was necessary to reinerk that the moon revolves in an ellipse of which the earth occupies one focus (a point much nearer to one end than the other), and that the position of this ellipse is constantly varying, its long seas turning round iu the same direction as the moon's motion, and com pleting a revolution in nine years and a half. 'Therefore, if in 114 fI the shorter cud of the ellipse were nearly turned to the July sun, in 1812 the axis of the ellipse would have com pletely revolved, so that the shorter end of the ellime would again be nearly turned to the July sun ; and thus the eclipse which occurred, if total in 1833, would, if central, be total (not annular) in 1842; and soon for four periods of nine years." The astronomer's descriptions of the phenomena attend ant upon eclipses, being the result of personal experience, are highly interesting—particularly of that known by the name of Beads and Strings—which he ascribes, with Profeseur Powell, to " the inevitable fault of telescopes"— the beads and strings being perceptible with some instru ments and not with others. These beads sad strings are the alternations of black and white points seen when the preceding limb of the moon, traversing the sun's disk, isp proeches very near the sun's limb, or the following limb is separating from the sun's limb. This phenomenon has been observed when other planets have traversed the solar disk. la describing the total eclipse of 1842, which, in con sequence of the great exertions of M. Arago, was better observed than any other, scientific men being dotted every where in the path of the shadow—Mr. Bally, at Perri", and the astronomer royal at the Superga, near Turiu—he re curred to the expeneuee of M. Arago on the occasion, who declared that as the totality approached, a strange fluctua tion of light was seen, "so striking that in some places children ran after it and tried to catch it with their hands." By all observers the suddenness of the darkness is described as having an awful effect; and the expression of Dr. Stake ley, in Lu account of the total eclipse of 1741, " that the darkness came dropping like a mantle," is confirmed by the experience. of the astronomer royal, who declared that the clouds seemed to be &wending. ' From the collected ob servations of the astrouomen iu 1842, it appears that all agreed as to the generally horrible and unnatural appear ance of all things—countenames having a livid and ghastly aspect. Here arc a few reported experiences:— " In one case a half-starved dog, who was voraciously devouring some food, dropped it from his month when the darker es came on. In another, a swam of ants, who were busily carrying their burdens, stopped when the der:Leen came on, and remained motionless till the light reappeared. In another, a herd of oxen, as soon as the totality was formed, collected themselves into a circle sod stood with their horns outwards. Some plants fad the convolvulus and silk-tree acacia) closed their leaves. The darkness at Venice was so great that the smoke of the steamboats could not be seta. In several places, birds flew against houses, &e. Where the sky was clear, several stars were seen. In se veral places a reddish light was seen near the horizon. A heavy dew was formed at l'erpignan." The captain of a French ship ensured ht. Arago that having nude else most careful arrangements for scientific °ea / ovations beforehand, discipline of every kind failed when the darkness came on, in corwequenee of the irresis- t ble fascination of the phenomenon, and the most important opportunity was thus lost. The astronomer's explanatiote of the. C.. 10114, or ring of light which 14170thttle the 1110.0%1 during a total eclipse', it interesting, and will be particularly welcoina at the present time It will be seen from it that the last eclipse was carefully observed, and by competent adrimuniers ; and happily such men aa Aragn aud our astronomer royal merman to point their tekecopos to the heaven. to-day frets various important points. Here is their last expenses : The mat remarkable phenomenon observed in all pre ceding total eclipses, and seen equally in that of 1812, is the ring of light surrounding the moon, called the corona. The prognen of the formation of the ring was seen by his (the astruneeaer's) companion, anal by some other persons : it cow :a-need on the side of they moon opposite to that at ce'cich the sun disappeared.

The astronomer characterised the inquiry into ihe origin and locality of this corona as one of the most Westing connected with the ealipee. It had been specially indicate.' by N.

Ila terms them " subrabi maw seanulke gestabe, extra peripheriam disci lunaris senapette, noose tees est quatuor." This observation, bewerer, was aid Mow to any of the observers in 1812, end all were therefen taken by surprise. Drawings were addlnted of these red mountains as seen at Perpig sea, Narbonne, Vienna, Pavia, the Superga, and Lipetsk. It was shown that, by a trace still visible on the encraving, the drawing first made at Vienna bed meancided very exactly with that made at Pavia ; that the Narbonne observations would be very exactly re conciled with them by supposing the error (very likely to steer to unpractised astronomers) of taking the north limb lobe the upper limb ; that at Perpignan, the Superga, Lipetsk, the lowest of the red prominences was not seen; and that at the Superga and Lipetsk only was the middle one of the upper prominences seen, though in several places an irregu lar bead of red light had been seen of which one salient paint /eight he the prominence in question. In all the piss where the order of formation had been observed, the erne prominence (the left-hand upper prominence) was defined as the first seen. At Perpignan this was observed by M. MaIIT&IS to show itself first as a small point and to peigiect gradually as from behind the moon. The discoed ease in these representations was not at all startling , ; it was not greater than the discordance in accounts given by two good observers in different rooms Or the same building at Padua. The determination of the locality and nature of these red prominences is one of the most difficult of all connected with the eclipse. The first impression undoubtedly was, that they are parts of the sun. If so, their height, at the lowest estimation, is about 30,000 miles. The principal objection, however, to their solar location is the difference in their forms as seen at different places : thus at Perpignan they are represented as widest at the top; at all other places they are widest at the base Moreover, at some places, as Pavia and Vienna, where they were seen a long time, they underwent no change: whereas at Perpignan one at least was seen to slide out as from behind the moon. In all cases, however, much is to he allowed fur the hurried nature of the observation. The only theory which has been formally propounded as explain ing them is that of M. Faye, who conceives them to be the result of a kind of mirage.' Of the celhp■e whieliwill take place to-day, some infor mation is also afforded us. Its course across Eurow will be as follows. Entering Norway near Bergen, the shadow crosses both coasts of Norway, both coasts of Sweden, and the eastern coast of the Baltic ; then travels through Po land and the south frontier of across the sea of Azof, through Georgia to the Caspian Sea. It passes Christiana, Guteberg, Carlscrona, Danzig, Konigsberg, Warsaw, sad Tiflis. In England the effects will only be partially visible; but it is satisfactory to the lovers of science, to the investigators of the great truths which in fluence boundless worlds, to know that exertions have been madeto secure accurate observation, and that amongst other observers Mr. Hobert Chambers is stationed at a convenient point in Sweden. Much as people have talked of late of the eclipse, it will come upon thousands to-day as a great surprise. It will surprise country visitors in the Glass Palace; it will astonish solitary country folk ; it will quicken the superstition that still lives in odd nooks and corners of the land ; and it will make many men thoughtful ; many, feeling their insignificance in the pre sence of the mighty phenomenon, humble in their self-esti mate. It cannot, in short, be contemplated by any think beg mind, without calling up thoughts that purify, and perhaps aspirations not limited to the human scene. To observe the eclipse no telescope is needed—a dark glass, or a common glass, blackened over a candle, is all that is necessary. Armed with this, by 2 P.M. to-day, July 28, let the observer be ready; according to his proxi mity to either of the following places. so will the circum stances resemble those stated in the table Local Time.

Thus the reading of the barometer, and of the wet and dry bulb thermometers, might be registered during every fire minutes from the commencement to the close.

THE SUPPOSED MURDER AT NORWICH.-- NORWICH, SATCRDAV, JULY 26.—Notwithstanding the length of time which has elapsed since the discovery of a portion of the remains of a human being in various parts of the out of this city, and which are supposed to be con nected with the perpetration of a brutal murder, no official communications have been made by Mr. Yarington, the saperintendant of the city constabulary, to the magistrates, owing to the fact that east gentleman has been unable to trace to any particular - person the perpetration of the awful crime, or to ideutify t'ae scattered portions of the body. There are, however, circumstances connected with the matter which hold out a hope that the murderer may yet be traced. Durir.g the last few days other parts of the body have been found, and there appears to be little doubt that they have been thrown about since the previous disco veries were raade. A day or two since a young man, who was strollinr; through the grounds of Mr. Merry, of Brecon dale, foam'. a human hand, and on comparing it with that of one al ready in the possession of the authorities, there seems r,o reason to doubt that both belonged to the same Perim:. A foot evidently belonging to the same body has also }seen found in the yard of St. Peter's Church, a spot ' which, amongst others, was diligently searched by the police during their late investigations. Mr. Yarington ca p:sasses his conviction that the murder was not committed in. Norwich, having ascertained, from a careful search of tOe parochial registers, that no person answering the de- seriptMn of the murdered woman is missing ; but believes that the various portions of the mediated body have bens brought front a distance, and scattered about the suburbs of the city. I TUE RAILWAY Accit n AT CLAT-Cllosi.—The interest and sympathy excited in the public mind by this accident has been renewed. At the York assizes, aniuog.t the civil businev, was an action brought by Mr. Broadbent, of the Barrack Tavern, Sheffield, against the Midland Railway Company, to obtain compensation for injury sus tained by the collision, but the cue did not come on for trial, a compromise having been effected, the plaintiff re eelviag, it is understood, 4+501. Mrs. Blake, of Shedield, Ware husband, it will be recollected, was killed by the accident, has entered an action against the company.

The appearance of the Crystal Palace on Saturday seemed to indicate that that most fashionable of days will soon be left mainly to the ticket-holders. For some hours after the opening the interior was almost a solitude, che quered only by the Bath chairs of the invalids that moved slowly to and fro with the most perfect freedom of way. In the afternoon the fashionable loungers mustered in tolerable force, but, after all, the day's was the smallest assemblage of the season. To there who can afford the money, and at the same time find it necessary to study economy in time, S a t ur d a y i s , un doubtedly, the best day for a visit to the Exhibition, as on that day one can certainly see much more in one day, and in comfort too, than could possibly be managed in five shilling visits. The Fine Arts court is a very mine of attractive objects ; but many of these bring =all, are completely smothered by the crowds who amenable round the Mexican figures and other prominent features. 'f;:e Exhibition presents almost every day some new attraction to the visitor, and it is also satisfactory to know that it is producing satisfactory results to the spirited caterers of ti:e feast. As a singular illustration of this, we may m en ti on tn. 3 one of the exhibitors of chemical pre parations h as reeeire,2 more orders, in consequence of the advertisement which the Exhibition has proved to his goods, than he can possibly execute. The same good fruits are being reaped in many of the English departments, and the French, while complaining that the attractions of London have made a than season in Paris, at the same time admit that what they have lost in customers at present has been amply made up by the orders they have received from Loudon since May Ist. Another instance nearer home is that of Pim, Brothers, of Dublin, one of the exhibitors of Irish poplin. Previous to the opening of the Crystal Palace three looms supplied all their orders fur poplin, while now forty are barely sufficient, and the trade is still increasing. The total numbers were 10,399. Cash account, July 26. Season tickets At the doors Total receipts THE EXPRESS, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 28, 1851. SHALL THE CRYSTAL PALACE STAND OR NOT ? The subject of the retention of the Crystal Palace has been much canvassed and commented upon since the publication of my pamphlet, wherein I suggested the pro priety of converting it into a winter park and garden. To this proposal, objections of several kinds have been raised and circulated with considerable industry ; sonic of the objectors assuming that the structure is composed of such perishable materials, and is so unstable and unfit fur a permanent building, that they recommend it tobe destroyed immediately after the Exhibition closes. l'art of these arguments I have already refuted in my letter to Lord Campbell of July 14th, and therefore it would be super fluous to repeat them on the present occasion. My im haession is, that nearly all the objections hitherto made, h ve been advanced by individuals living in the neighbour hood of the building; and, judging of the future by the pre2ent state of excitement produced by the Exhibition, have anticipated annoyances which, I believe, will never be realised. In my pamphlet already alluded to, I partly anticipated these mistaken views, and briefly remarked that although at present the building, to suit the purposes of the Exhibi tion, looked heavy from having boarded sides, yet when the wood was removed and glass substituted, and the can vas covering taken down, it would become a really beauti ful object; exhibiting through its transparent sashes a pic turesque park and garden, the advantages and pleasures of which these living in the immediate neighbourhood would possess more than ordinary privileges of enjoying. I like wise hazarded an opinion, that property in the vicinity would be enhanced in value in consequence; and the more I examine what I then stated, the more lam convinced that my opinions were neither visionary nor enthusiastic, but founded upon what I fed sure will be the result. There is one subject, however, in that pamphlet respecting the changing of the building into a winter park and garden, which appears to have been misunderstood, and which I now beg to correct. It has been supposed that I wish to produce the summer climate of southern Italy during our winter, whereas it was my intention to imitate the waiter temperature of that country, which would be about ten de grees colder than the ordinary beat of our dwelling houses. In order effectually to meet the questions of the stability and durability of the structure, and also the financial diffi culties which are supposed to surround it, 1 now propose to bring the subject into a very narrow compass ; and there fore, since the publication of my letter to Lord Camplx•ll, I have duly considered the outlay which would be requisite to put the building as it now stands into good condition for a permanent use, and have procured from Messrs. Fos and Henderson an estimate of the cost for removing all the boarded sides and substituting glass, and also for putting the roof and every other part in efficient repair, which they engage to do at a cost of from 12,0001. to 1.5,004/. I have also procured an estimate from the same gentlemen of the expenses for keeping the building in perfect repair and order (luring a period of 21 years, and this they of er to do for the sum of 5,500/. per annum. To prove that no public grant will be necessary, highly responsible parties are ready to take the building on a lease of 21 years, if permitted to do so ; and that the pur poses for which it would be retained might he fully an swered, they are willing to subject their tariff of public admission to the control and supervision of government. By this means all questions concerning the stability, effi cient maintenance, and the non-requirement of a public Brent, are, I hope, entirely set at rest, and the only thing now to be decided, is, whether the Crystal Palace shall stead or not?

The programme of the fetes proposed to be given by the city of Paris in celebration of the Exhibition of In dustry of all Nations is definitively stated. M. Sallandroure de Lamornaix, Commissary-General of France, has just returned from France, where he was slim moped fur the purpose of combining the necessary.arrange meats of the intended hospitality of our Parisian neighbours. lie has issued, in the name of the Prefet de la Seine and the Municipal Council of Paris, upwards of one thousand formal invitations to the royal commissioners, the foreign commissioners, the members of the various juries, the exe cutive and special commissioners, the mayors of he prin cipal towns of the kingdom, the presidents and secretaries of the leading scientific societies, and a large number of the nobility and of the distinguished patrons of art and scienc e . On Friday the Commissary waited on the Lonl Mayor with an especial invitation for him and the Lady Mayoress, for whom a suite of apartments has been prepared at the Hotel do Ville by the Prefet de la Seine, whose guests they will be during the period of the fete. It is understood that about two hundred and fifty of those who have been most intimately and actively engaged in the direction of the Exhibition will have provided for their use a special train, leaving the London-bridge station on Friday morning, the lot of August, at hall•past eight o'clock. A steamer will be in readiness at F o lk es t one to convey the party to Boulogne, and they will arrive in Paris at seven o'clock the same evening. The other guests will find ample facility for travelling provided for them by the South Eastern Railway Cons pany, who have kindly promised to give every assist ance, in order that no difficulties may intervene to thwart the hospitable intentions of the Parisian municipality. The scheme of the fc stivities is— On Saturday, August 2, a grand dinner to five hundred visitors at the Hotel de Ville, to be followed by a concert, to which &lithe visitors will be invited, and at which the cele brated orchestra of the Conservatoire will exhibit its re markable talent. On Sunday, August 3, the National Museum and Palace of Versailles will be opened to the visitors, and the cele brated waterworks and fountains will be in full activity. On Monday, August 4, the President of the Republic will given grand fete at the Palace of St. Cloud. On Tuesday, August .5, there will be a grand ball at the Hotel de Ville, for which it is said eight thousand invita tions will be issued. On Wednesday, August 6, there will be a review and sham fight in the Cham{rde-Mars, and in the evening a grand representation at the Opera. The comtuitteo appointed to superintend the ar -angements of the dinner to be given to Mr. Parton, at Derby, on the sth of August, have issued circular■ altering the day, in order that Mr. Paxton might be enabled to accept the invitation to the Parisian fete...

The tit:lowing is the Report of a Select Committee of the House of Lords appointiA to consider Lord Carlisle's Bill " for the Management and Ltegulation of Episcopal and Capitular Estates and Rev e :tues in England and \Vales ' That the committee Lave met, and considered the said bill, and also the said petitions ; and have examined several witnesses in relation thereto, and are of opinion— I. That the present syst em o f manag i ng e pi sco p a l andea patular property is unsatisfactory, first, as inconsistent with the best management of the property, with a view to the obtaining the largest net produce from the land; and, secondly, as giving rise to vague and ill-defined impressions on the part of the large body of the lessees as to the charac ter of their connexion with the property, and their claims and rights supposed to arise therefrom. 11. That, fir order to render episcopal and capitular pro perty " most productive and beneficial to the church, and most condusive to the spiritual welfare of the people," it is advisable to give facilities for the alteration of the present system of leasing that property, "due regard being had to the just and reasonable claims of the present holders of such property, under leas , : or otherwise." 111. That the system proposed to be substituted for the present system by the bill before us, namely, the giving to the lessees (except lessees of tithe rent-charges) • perpetual ' right of renewal, in consideration of additional rents, fines and payments, appears to be framed so as to preserve a close common between the bishops and capitular bodies and their present property, and to secure to them, with very little responsibility and expense of management, an aug mented income, increasing further with the increasing value of the property, and at the same time so as to give perma nently to the lessees, upon tenas more or less favourable, the renewals which they now customarily enjoy, whilst it provides for ultimately making the bishops and capitolsr bodies owners of such separate est ate' as shall be deemed sufficient to secure for them such an average income as has been fixed by parliament, instead of Waking them mere re ceivers of fixed stipends. IV. That it is nevertheless open to very serious objec tions, which appear to the committee to be ruts' to its adop tion, namely, Ist. On the part of the church (a.) As de priving it, to • great extent, of the real owner ship of its property, and tearing it only entitled to money payments proportionate to the value of that property . (b.) As bei ng . a system which does not hold out that promise of afros dull; satisfaction to all the parties concerned upon which aluue any confidence in its permanence can be founded:(c.) As no, obtaining for the church so large an increase of her resources applicable to the spiritual welfare of the people as might be derived under other arrangements. 2nd. On the part of the lessees:—(a.) As establishing an inconvenient tenure, under which the lessee will be subject to all the risks and burdens of ownership, with a comparatively limited bens ' ficial interest in the property : (b.) As giving him a pro perty so heavily encumbered with rent-charge or other periodical payments, that it would almost be disqualified for being the subject of mortgage or settlement, and would not, as respects the beneficial interest of the holder, tell at the rate of fee-simple property : (c.) As still leaving him more or less under diwouragements to improvement, how ever much these discouragement., may be mitigated by tho extension of the interval between successive valuations. And that on these grounds the committee have considered it inexpedient to proceed further with the bill. V. That it would be more advantageous to the good management of the land, and would tend to the more effectual development of all its powers, and at the same time promote tee interests of the lessors and of the lessees, if the beneficial ownership of the church property, which is now divided between the church and its beneficial lessee, should in some cases be wholly vested in the one, and in other cases in the other, according to the circumstances of the property. VI. That, with these views, enfranchisements on the part of the church, and surrenders on the part of the lessees upon reasonable and just terms, should be encouraged and facilitated. VII. That, in endeavouring to suggest what would be reasonable and just terms for such enfranchisements and surrenders, it is necessary to consider the nature, extent, and validity of the lessees alleged rights, claims, or expec tations in reference to renewal. VIII. That, in the opinion of the committee, neither the bishopv or capitular bodies now are nur have at any time been bound by any obligation in law or in equity to anew their leases. IX. That although, according to the ordinary practice arising from the temporary nature of the interest of the bishops and members of capitular bodies, church leases have been generally renewed on terms so favourable to the lessee as to have been termed beneficial leases, yet the bishops and capitular bodies have exercised from time to time unquestioned acts of ownership over the property thus i leased, negativing completely the existence of tiny such obli gation to renew—By refusing to renew. By granting occa sionally concurrent leases. By renewing at an increased rent. By altering the rate of fine, either in individual eases or generally. By exceptions of property out of the I lease ; and by alterations in the condition and reservations in the leases. And some ecclesiastical corporations, sole and aggregate, have, at some personal sacrifice, entered' upon a systematic course of improving their property, by running out to a greater or less extent the leases thereof, and, IL! I it is believed, without impediment or remonstrance. X. That, nevertheless, it cannot be denied that the les sees, with comparatively few exceptions, have had, dc facto, for more than two centuries, the advantage of re newals on (avowable terms, which, although differing in different dioceses, and gradually increased at different times in different diocese*, have been for considerable pe riods of time uniform in the same diocese, and that the long continuance of this practice, rendered almost inevitable by the temporary nature of the leseor's interest already alluded to, has created in the lessees an expectation of renewal But lisiently definite to be treated as between third rarties as approaching to a certainty. XI. That leases of this description, in consequence of this expectation of renewal, have in various parts of the country sold at a considerably higher value, as compared with the fee, than would have been the case had not such expectation existed, and have also become the subject, not only of mortgage, but of settlement and devise, with limit ations to children and their posterity, indicating a strong impression of the certainty of their continuance, and that under the like impression permanent improvements have been made by the lessees on this description of property. XII. That, but for the interference of parliament, these advantages would to a great extent continue to be enjoyed by the lessees; for although a better understanding on the part of the lessors of the value of the reversionary interest parted with on renewals, and a growing willingness on their port to make personal pecuniary sacrifices with a view to the improvement of the church property, would pro bably lead to enhancement of the terms on which leases are renewed, and to a further extension of measures for run ning out church leases, yet this change of system could only have takeu place gradually, and during a long inter val of time, and iu the meantime, owing to the peculiar cir cumstances of the lessor, and his relations with the lessee, renewals would have continued to be granted on favourable terms to the lessee. XIII. That, in defining the terms of enfranchisement and surrender, it is advisable, and it would be in accordance with the usual coune of legislation, that any injury sus tained by either party through the alteration of their rela tive position by legislative interference, be considered and compensated. XIV. That, having regard to the considerations above stated, your committee are of opinion that the following terms of enfranchisement and surrender may be recom mended both to the episcopal and capitular bodies and their lessees, namely:—With respect to farina and tithe rent charges:—That if the bishop or capitular body agree to enfranchise, the price to be paid for the enfranchisement shall be the value of the fee simple, deducting the value of the lease at such valuation as hereinafter is mentioned ; and if they decline to enfranchise, they shall pay for the surrender of the lease at such valuation. That the beneficial interest of the lessee shall be valued at the same rate of interest at which the value of the fee simple has been determined. That as regards leases for years which are reduced below 21 years, the lessee shall have the option, before enfranchisement or surrender, of one more renewal fcr seven years at the rate of fine at which he has heretofore renewed. That as regards leases for lives, which, upon u proper estimate, shall be found equivalent to terms of less than 21 years, the liko advantage of a renewal, at the usual rate of fine, for a term of seven years, shall be secured to the lessees. XV. That all such enfranchisement& and surrenderssball be subject to the COnStrit of the Church Estates Commis sioners. XVI. That the above terms for enfranchisement and surrender be applicable to the estates vested, or to become vested, in the Ecclesisatical Commissioners, and shall be carried into effect by the Church Estates Commissioners. XVII. That the moneys to arise from any such cufran ehisement by any bishop or capitular body shall be applied either in payment for the surrender of leases held under such bishop or capitular body, or shall be iuvested in the purchase of estates, to be conveyed to such bishop or ca pitular body, due provision being made to prevent such bishop, or the members of such capitular body, from re- I ceiving, during the progress of such arrangements, either a greater or lees income than he or they would have received ' tf such enfranchisement had not been made : provided that ultimately the bishops and capitulsr bodies should be put in possession of separate estates calculated to yield the average I meow, fixed by parliament. XVIII. That in any legislative measure which 11131 be 1 requisite for carrying the preceding resolutions into effect, i provision should be made for excepting front its operation cases in which the expectation of renewal on the part of the lessees his terminated either by their own proceedings, or by the proceedings of the lessors, and fur reserving, as special cases for the adjudication of the Church Estates Commissioners, the enfranehisements and surrenders of i lauds having a dormant value, either in reference to their I applicability for building or mining purposes or otherwise, and also lands in which extraordinary permanent improve ' moots shall have been made. ! XIX. That the committee, therefore, sagest that a per missile bill be passed, empowering the bishops and capitu lax bodies-to enfranchise and to accept surrenders from their lessees, with the sanction of the Church Estates Commis• mown ; and the -committee look forward to the results of ' such voluntary dealings as furnishing a safe bseis fur any legislation on the subject of compulsory enfranchisement, , should such legislation be hereafter deemed expedient. The committee have coasted the preceding recommen , declaim to farms and tithe rents-chance. With respect to house property and mines, the committee entertain doubts, which can only be removed by further investigation end consideration; whether the errangementa which they have sugppegested can be advantageously applied to those kinds ~ .f rt Pr The c ommittee have also directed the minutes of evidence taken before them, together with en appendix and index thereto, to be laid befog year lordships. ROL USSEER CATHEDRAL ORAMM jt SCHOOL. ' We are requested to insert the following letter addressed to Mr. Mowatt, M.P., by the Rev. R. Whis;nn, on the sof.;ect of Sir John Pakington's ob ser v a ti ons i n t h e House of Commons, with reference to the Bishop of ' Rochester and the Worcester Cathedral Grammar &Mu!: Rochester, July 28, 1851. My dear Sir,—l an: very much surprised by the demand of a retmetati as which isir J. Pakington appears to have made upon you in the Hot:so of Commons last night, and still more so by his denial of my statement that the 40 Foundation boys of the Worcoster Cathedral School re ceived only Os. 10d. each, instead of the value of the old 21. 13s. 4d., while the present Bishop of Rochester was Dean of Worcester. In the first place Sir Job.: was himself in accurate in stating that Mr. Wheeler is the bead of the cathedral school. This is a mistake, the held-master being the Rev. Octavius Fox. Another statement of tho hon. baronet I hardly know what to make of; it looks like a contradiction, and yet it is not. all it amounts to is that the 21. 13s. 4d. each had " always been paid, and 'till continued to be paid." But my allege tion is, that although this 21. 13s. 4d. was an allowance for maintenance, and not for tuition, and although the stipend of the head-master was fixed in the scheme of Henry \ 111. at 201. (the same as that of a canon), and the stipend of the second-master at 101., or one-half, yet notwithstanding, the canons have raised their own 201. to 626/. 3s. Id., and de prived the boys of 21. 7s. 6d, each, in order to provide a salary of 901. for the head-master, and of 110/. for the second. At p. 113 of "Cathedral Trusts," Edn. 4, I have explained this in a paeans which was read by Sir F. Thesiger in the Court of Queens' Bench, and copied in all the papers, without rintraa'ietion, and which runs thus:—" In stead of IL 13s. 4d., the 40 boys jet Worcester, get only Os. 10d. each; for V. 2s. 6d. is taken from each boy, and given to the second master, and Os. more is further taken from them, and given to the head-master. The result of which is that the head-master has a less stipend than the second, and that the 40 boys at Worcester, instead of being maintained at the costs and charges of the charges of the church get Os. 10d. each." To this statement I adhere, fur when I was first informed by a letter from Worcester dated Feb. 26, 1849, that " out of the 2/. 13s. 4d. paid for (not to) the boys, all by Os. 100. d. reverts to the masters, to make up their salaries." I could not and did net believe it, and therefore I took particular pains to satisfy myself of its truth before I gave it publicity. Moreover, I beg to assure you that I have in my possession, e r within my reach, proofs of and producible vouchers for es‘ ry fact which I ha-c asserted in " Cathedral Trusts," and especially of and for my allegation about the Worcester ni m n e n t of Os. 10d. I cannot, of course, compromise my ;dot-mania; but if Sir John Pakington will only do me the honour to ei.mmunicate with me, I will undertake to prove to him that Han statement in question is true, and if it had no t been I think I should have heard long ago from the so licitor of the Dean and Chapter, to the effect that they pe remptorily demanded a retractation from me, with the alternative of a criminal information. Perhaps it may be worth while for you to inform Sir John Pakineton that I made a similar charge against the chapter of Canterbury of reducing the old allowance of 41. to 1/. its. id., and against the chapter of Rochester of reducing the 2!. 13s. 4d. to 11., and that the latter body explained the reduction by stating that up till 1842 a portion of the old money payments was paid not directly to the boys, but for 'them to the masters. But, unluckily, it so happened that the second master never received morn than 81. • year from the chapter, nor did either master get a single 11. 13s. 4d. a year more when there were 20 foundation boys in the school, than when there was only one. As t'or the reduction at Canterbury, it is admitted to be a fact, and if the chapter of Worcester wish to prove to the world that their masterA have not been paid as I affirm they have, and that their 40 King's scholars have received 21. 13s. 4d. each, without any reduction whatsoever. The best plan will be for them to publish a formal statement, signed by the masters, and another by the parents or guar dians of all the 40 boys, distinctly and unequivocally nega -1 tiring what I affirm to be true. Hoping I have succeeded in convincing yourself that I have not led you into any error, I remain, my dear sir, yours very truly, ROBERT WUISTON. Frances Muwatt, Esq., M.P., &c. &c. CONISIITTAL OF THE CHESHIRE BURGLARS. The daring robbers who attacked the house of Mr. R. Hine, a quaker gentleman at llockley, near Mac clesfield, have all been apprehended, and on Saturday were brought before the county magistrates at Maccle s field for examination. The leader of the gang, Jonathan Brad ley, was taken in Congleton, ut the shop of Mr. Drake ford, watchmaker, to whom he offered Mr. Richard Ed mund Iline's gold watch very shortly alter that gentleman had received a placard from the police describing the rub bery. Mr. Dmkeford at once gave this man in charge, and the county police in the course of the following day discovered and apprehended his accomplices. The names' of these men are Jacob Dean, James Middleton, Jon-ph Middleton, and Thomaa ltidgeway. Having been played at the bar of the police court, the first witness called was Mr. Richard Him, sen., who described the attack on his house on the morning of the 16th instant by men who, when he opened his front bedroom window, demanded the money and other valuables in the house, presenting a pistol at him as he remonstrated. Ito afterwards saw them at the back of the house break open the back door, and his daughter having been down stairs and told him one of the panels of an inner door had been burst out, he advised his son to give the robbers his watch if they would consent to go away. At the close of his examination be was asked if he could identify any of the prisoners, and they were ordered to put on their caps. With this order Bradley complied very unwillingly, and though his behaviour was bold and impudent in court ho partly turned from the witness and averted his face. After looking steadily at them ter sometime, Mr. Hine said he could not speak with certainty to any of them, though he thought the voice of one of them (Bradley, who he had before known) was familiar to him. They either wore black masks or had their faces blacked. Mr. R. E. Hine, jue., next repeated the account of the attack, much to the effect already published in the Ex press. He said, finding they were likely soon to succeed in forcing the second door, he again presented himself at the back window, and was received with oaths by the leader of the party, who presented his pistol with an oath, and again demanded his money, threatening to take his life. He asked this man if he would go away if he gave him his gold watch, and he promised that they should ; but no sooner had he dropped the watch into one of their hats than the leader ordered two of the party to renew the attempt to force the door, telling one of them with an oath he would run a knife into him if he was long about it. Witness demanded what further they wanted, and the leader said they must yet have his money. Reminding them of their broken promises, he dropped sir to ten shil lings into their hats. They then retired, the leader ob serving that they might think themselves " d--d well off." The prisoner Jonathan Bradley, to the best of his belief, was the leader, who twice threatened to stab his men if they did nut "do their duty ;" and the two Middleton were the men who broke open the back door. Ile had a better opportunity of observing them than the others, be cause they both held their hats up under the window for the watch, and also for the money, and their faces were then turned upwards close under the window. The other prisoners he believed also to be of the party. The prisoners were all committed for trial at the assizes ; but there are other charges against Bradley—one of them being a charge of robbing a master silk-throwster of his watch in the public road ; and another, a charge of stealing from I a farm-house on the morning after the burglary above described. IRELAND. DUBLIN, JULY 26. ' - I Another candidate appears in the field at Limerick to divide the liberal interest with the Earl of Arundel and Surrey, whose chance of success, if the new comer be in earnest, will be very small indeed. The new comer is Captain Carleton, of Delgany, in the county of Wicklow, who pwiesses extensive property in Limerick, and addressed the constituency there some time since, when it was expected that Mr. John I O'Connell would resign. It is understood that the nomination will be fixed for Friday next, nda the polling for the following Monday. Bishop Ryan will, it is said, propose Lord Arundel. Great ex- I citement prevails, and a desperate struggle is antici pated. Mr. Russell's friends are sanguine of success. The announcement has been made here this after noon that an arrangement has been entered into be- 1 tween the Chester and Holyhead Company and the , City of Dublin Steam Pocket Company, by means of i which persons can be booked throughout in Dublin for London, and the principal stations on the north ' western line, and rice rersa ; and that return tickets for a fare and a half can be obtained, and will he 1 available, when between Dublin and London, for 14 1 days, and between Dublin and Liverpool, Manches ter, &c., for seven days. This arrangement is to' take effect from the Ist of next month, when the day : passage from London and Dublin will also be aooe- lerated by half au hour. Altogether the new Bye- , tem will afford very considerable advantage and eon- 1 venience to persons in this country. Mr. John D'Arcy, a respectable citizen of Dublin, has accepted the offer made to him by the corpora tion of the office of Lord Mayor for the next year. 1 The harvest reports continue favourable, although i some amount of injury has been inflicted on the ' grain crops by the late heavy rains. All parties are now agreed in considering the potatoes as almost , quite safe. I At the last meeting of the Royal Flax Improve : meet Society of Ireland the secretary repo'eted that, ' on waiting again upon the Chancellor of the Exche quer, accompanied by Mr. Tennent, MX., to ascer tain if ho Would bring before the house in the, pen ' euntaession of parliament the extension of the Laud Improvement Act, referring to scutch-mills, &e., soli cited by the society, the deputation was informed that he had decided against the request. A Privy Council was held yesterday in Dublin Castle, when the Lord Chancellor and Sir Edward Illakeney, the commander of the forces in Ireland, were sworn in Lords Jus , ices during the absence of his Excellency the Lord Lieutenant in England. The Council of the Queen's College, Galway, an nounce for the session of 18.51-52 forty-live scholar ships of 241. each, in the faculty of arts; six scholar ships of 201. each in the faculty of medicine; and nine other scholarships in the faculty of law and in the schools of civil engineering and agriculture, all of which are at their disposal for the ensuing year. An incident highly characteristic of the state of society in the west of Ireland some 30 or 40 years ago, but rather ill-timed at the present day, occurred to the streets of Cast'char at the commencement of the present assizes. It is thus described by the cor respondent of the Freeman : During the progress of the fiscal business of the grand jury this day (Tuesday) a good deal of excitement was pro. ,2uced, both an and out of court, by the fact that the high sheriff of this county (David Watson Rutledge, Esq.), had been publicly mutated and horsewhipped in the street out. side the court-house, and in presence of a large concourse of persons, by Captain M. Fitamauriee, of Lagaturn, a re tired military gentleman. The sheriff was standing iu con versation with other gentlemen, when Captain Fitzmaurice, who was on horseback, appmached him, and asked why he had presumed to omit his name from the grand jury panel, and, without waiting for any reply, lw immediately struck the sheriff several -mart blows with his whip, accompany ing the blow. by several oppmbrious a n d insulting epithets, and then turning his horse head. he galloped out of town. Mr. Rutledge, who is a member of the Connaught bar, pro ceeded to the barroom at mare, and having consulted with his professional brethr e n. he. under their advice, had in formations drawn up and sworn, and a warrant Issued for the arrest of the e-tatain in order to have him tried for the °Winer. at the •rusent wises. In the present state of the affair I restate from mentioning many cu rious rumours afloat hem, with which the names at' Some grand jarurs are =lard up. but I shall do so after the assizes. SPORTING.
