Tree false Liberals who have betrayed Reform in the House of Commons are really too thin skinned. Without fulfilling their contract they keep their seats, from which no one can dislodge them till a dissolution of Parliament. Why, then, can they not be content with this, without setting their confederates in the Press to fall upon men who, having neither changed their opinions nor forfeited their word, go honestly about the work which others have abandoned 4 The reason lies on the surface. They fear that motions like those of Mr. LOCKE Xnso and Mr. EDWARD BAINIs may make it difficult to renew the old swindle the next time they are driven to revisit the hustings. To talk about the indifference of the country to Re form may do very well in clubs and coteries, but to break with the cause, to be ranked with its ene mies, this is too dreadful even for the most reac tionary ol House of Commons Whigs. The in tolerable annoyance which Mr. Bainzies Bill has given to these gentlemen comes of this, that it puts one more obstacle in the way of imposture. It is a touchstone, and we may judge of its efficacy by the outcry of the traitors. As the Bill wag offered simply on its merits, it could only be rejected for their sake. It may do for Sir Joni; R•IIDEN to say in the Home of Commons that he votes against the Bill but not against its principles, but wo take leave to doubt whether the hon. baronet deceived even himself by this trans parent absurdity. From the sharp test proposed by Mr. DAINFII there was no escape. To pretend that the resolution of the Govertunent not to touch Reform this session makes any difference to the duty of private members when a serious propo sition like that of Mr. BAINII is brought forward is mere idleness. Ministers, we know, must keep their places at any sacrifice. Mr. DISRAELI hav ing condemned them to die of a lingering con sumption, refuses to repeat the blunders which in former sessions have stood Lord PAL/MINION in good stead. They on their side consent to avoid every topic which marks the difference between Liberal and Conservative. U they are but per mitted to struggle through the session it is all they ask. It is an ignominious accom modation, but " Ministers are not geese." The individual member is in a different situation, his existence sloes not depend on instant success. Accordingly, Mr. Bitvrit asked nobody to jeopar• dim anything last Wednesday. If all the members of the House of Commons who entered it as Re formers had voted for it, it would have been carried ; but whether carried or defeated, it endangered no interest. The excuses put for ward on behalf of pretended Liberals absent on the division, or voting, like the Member for the West Riding, on the wrong side, have therefore no shadow of reason ; and we have a right to say that all the sincere Reformers in the House of Commons either voted or paired for Mr. DAIMON Bill. This sifting, of course, is not pleasant for our reactionary friends; but we cannot comfort them with the hope that it is the last they will have to undergo. Repeated divisions had demonstrated the political rottenness of the House of Commons. Its hypocrisy and cynicism had been exposed quite far enough to disgust the country, and to diminish more and more every year the interest taken in its doings. But the full extent of the mischief still needed to be probed. As long as party interests disguised men's opinions it was difficult to ascertain the true character of the mass of our public men. Mr. STANSYCLIN in a speech which recalls a noble period, when brevity, directness, and weight of thought were among the merits of parliamentary eloquence, told the House on Wednesday that in the present session it had made amazing progress in anti-Reform tendencies, and was growing alarmingly familiar with its own vices. This wit ness is true. It was absolutely necomary that somebody should raise • standard of public mo rality, and restore the shaken confidence of the nation in the possibility of integrity in public men. This is all that is wanted to secure the suc cess of Reform. The pretence that the nation at large has changed its opinion on the question of an extension of the suffrage is not worth a thought. The course of modern civilization has only one direction, and it is not because • petty portion of the middle class is disposed to ape the exclusive ness of the aristocracy that we are to be persuaded that that direction is altered. As education and social prosperity are diffused every Government will have to admit an increasing proportion of the people to a direct participation in public affairs. The safety of the State must be founded on the concurrence of all the citizens who are not disqualified by ignorance, dependence, or crime. Oligarchical selfishness may stumble at this doctrine, but a time is coming when in England we shall be as much disgusted with the notion of connecting political liberty with a mosey qualification as we are to hear that in Carolina social freedom depends on oolour. If political prudence is allowed to prevail, if the lessons of history are to afford practical guidance, statesmen will render this change safe by making it gradual. T h e Bill of Mr. BAINILM was well adapted for thi s p ur p ose . T rue, t h ere i s no special virtue in a fit. qualification any more than in any other figure, but the practical effect would have been to accomplish quietly a change which would probably satisfy the country, like the last Reform Bill, for some thirty years to come. The panorama of popular progress which Mr. Mantes unfolded ought to convince the most THE EXPRESS, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 12, 1861. hardened Tory how unworthy are the fears which they are not ashamed to express of their country men, and show the most timid Whig how vain must be the attempt to exclude from the govern. ment of the country those in whom education is awakening the consciousness of a title to political rights. These are conditions of our progress which should be calmly looked at betimes, and not left to the accidents of an unknown future. Reformers out of doors will be neither disap pointed nor discouraged at this last revelation of the temper of the House of Commons. We hesi tate nut to proclaim the conviction that the ques tion of Reform stands infinitely better at this moment, resting ♦isibly on the support of two hundred tried representatives of the nation and entrusted to the integrity of the Member for Leeds, than it did this time last year, encumbered with the patronage of a Government fully prepared to sacrifice it to personal convenience. The duty of Reformers will now be to organize their forces throughout the country. TURIN, APIA. 12. The health of Garibaldi has improved.

Tic AMERICAN MINUMIII AND HIS PISTOLS. On Tuerday eight, in the Piazza del Peplos, a vast throng anembled to witness the grand annual display of 'reworks. The only extraordinary incident of the evening was one in which the United States' Minister, Mr. Stockton, played the met important part. Without the least fault on kis part, that gentleman came into collision with the Papal dragoons, who got by no means tho beet of it. Mr. Stockton, it appears, drove down the Como ham his resi.koce in that street to the Piazza del I'o 10, where • stood been erected for the accommodation of the Neapoli tan royal family, the diplomatic corm, and other persons of distinction. On reaching the entrance to the pass • he was informed he could .not pose that way. Re pre , wanted the ticket with which foreign ministers are fur nished to secure them free passage ou all °cesarean, but it did not produce the desired effect, and he warn requested to go round by the Babuino street. This he did, but with no better result ; again his coachman was checked, and told he could not pan that way. I am not sure whether be did not try the only remaining arouse to the piazza, the Via ltipetta ; but at last his patience was not unnatu rally exhausted, and he handed on his right to pan, cud ordered his servants to dove on. Thereupon there was nick excitement among the _papal gendarmes awl troops on duty, and three pontifical dragoons pranced about his carriage, or, as it Lea been described, charged down upon it--Imandishing naked swords and &replaying, as tube Portuguese say. "ferocious facer to the enemy." The misguided cavalry of the Tiara and Keys were aeprepared for the extent of Yankee resources. The un daunted representative of the model republic drew from his pocket a repeater (a pistol, not • watch), and, levelling it at the dragoons, pledged himself to mom them its contents if they further opposed him. The sight of the six.shnoter was tiro mach for the nervesof the Pope's eavalry,whe rode rapidly from the spot, leaving the stare and stripes tri umphant along the whole line. --Letter from Annie, April'.

The letters from Warsaw reach tothe morning of the day on which the collision of the troops took place. A letter of the 7th says : This evening, at 4 o'clock, a crowd of 40,000 or 50,000 persons assembled before the building in which the Agricul tural Society held its sittings. The Russian double-headed eagle, fixed upon the house, hail been covered, and the white Polish eagle substituted for it. By its side was • red and white cross, iu fact, the Polish colours. The appearance of the white eagle was saluted with prolonged hurrahs by the crowd, who proceeded with heeds uncovered to the resi dence of the ex-president of the Agricultural Society, Count Zamoyski. The count begged them to maintain order. They then went to Count Wielopolski's, to whom they wished to give a charivari on account of his share in the dissolution of the society ; but the appearance there of pickets of infantry prevented them from making any de monstration. About an hour afterwards a detachment of gendarmes and two companies of infantry marched through the principal streets to the chateau, followed by an ina meow crowd. The Prince-Lientenant, accompanied by some aides-de-camp and generals, was seen to leave the chateau. He penetrated the crowd on foot, urging them to disperse. They demanded that the troops should be removed, when they would do as he wished. The prince withdrew, and returned on horseback, repeating his invitation, but without success. Several young men near him bared their breasts, vying out that he might kill them, but that they would not withdraw before the troops were removed. The prince was compelled to quit the spot, groans and hisses accompanying his retreat. The effort. of the generals were equally useless. At het the troops received orders to retire, and then the crowd dispersed. A letter in the Debate, describing the above inci dents, says also that the crowd demanded of Prince Gortchakoff that he should use his influence with the Emperor to procure them the right of a na tional army. "We shall return to-morrow," they said, "and bring you our demands in writing." The Debate also has the following hurried account of the collision : WARSAW, Aram $. A terrible misfortune has happened. A peat crowd as sembled before the chateau at 6 o'clock this evening. The cavalry charged and the infantry fired upon the people. There were at least 30 pawns killed and • crest number wounded. The city is in great consternation. The deputa tion of the city, headed by Canon Wyuynski, M. Schlen ker, the provost of the merchants, and If. Kronenberg, banker, presented themselves at the chateau, but Prince Goetchakoff would not receive them. Count Andre Z•moyski refused to go to the prince, but he used all his influence to tranquillise the people. It is said that Prince Gortchakoff has been re called from Warsaw, and that General Mouravieff (of Kars) has been appointed in his place. OZOTilt . B THORN, FRIDAY. The number of persons who fell at Warsaw amounts to at least 30. There were several hun dreds wounded. The corpses of the victims were carried to the citadel, and were buried within the fortifications. The individuals who have been arrested are to pass their terms of imprisonment within the kingdom. Last night numerous arrests were made. The council of the municipality has been dissolved. THORN, Ann. 11. On Tuesday night last the Russian troops were encamped in the squares of Warsaw. The public buildings were also occupied by the military. All the shops, workshops, and offices were closed. Great crowds of people were assembled in the streets, but it was forbidden them to stand still. The national costume and mourning are no longer to be seen. No newspapers are published. Among the persons killed and wounded in the renent disturbanoes were several women and chit dram. At present all is quiet. ITALY. "General Cugia," says the Pungoio of Milan of the Bth, "called on Garibaldi in the name of Count Cavour. Garibaldi did not conceal his dis content at the manner in which the volunteers had been treated, and required the imme diate organisation of the 7th corps, exclusively composed of volunteers. This corps, consisting of four divisions, confided to Turr, Medici, Coeenz, and Bixio, will be placed under the command of Garibaldi. The ministry, emits side,while accepting the formation of this 7th corps, insists that two of the divisions shall be composed of regular troops. Garibaldi, seeing the bad will of the government, is disposed to bring his application before parlia ment Bixio, who has already once brought about a reconciliation between Count Cavour and Gari baldi, is expected with impatience from Paris, in order to do the same now." The address of the workmen of Milan to General Garibaldi and his reply to it appear to have caused a most painful sensation elsewhere. On the 7th the council of workmen at Turin, composed of delegates of all the trades, which number up wards of 10,000 members, met to discuss the above document, which purported to speak iu the name of all the workmen's societies throughout Italy. After • long debate, during which both the address and the reply were strongly blamed, espe cially in those parts in which, forgetful of king, government, parliament, and army, it was declared "that Italy had confidence in Garibaldi alone," and in which the most eminent members of the government and parliament were treated as "lackeys," it was unanimously resolved to publish the following notice in the papers : Thefloclety of Operatives of Turin,while abstaining from entering into any dimtuion no the merits of the address presented to General Garibaldi in the name of the societies of operatives of Italy,to which, for its part, it has not given its adhesion, invites the presenters of that address to pub lish whataod how many societies of operatives have adhered to it, as well as the names of their representatives and the trades they follow. The society of Turin believes that it thereby correctly interprets the opinion of the majority of societies of operatives, because in the case of a document which leads to the belief that it had been drawn up in the name of all, it is well that the societies that have adhered to it, as well as their representatives, be knows ; as the latter may have erroneously spoken in the name of all, though many of them did not adhere. This notice h appeared in moat of tho Italian papers. THE ITALIAN CHAMBER. TURIN, Aram 11, EvErrsc. In to-day's sitting of the Chamber of Deputies the Minister of Public Works, in reply to aninter pellation, declszod that the progress of the works of the Roman railways left nothing to be desired. "The government," he said, "does not approve the project by which the nominal value of each share would be reduced to 400 fr." The Minister stated that the sum of 83 million franca was still required to carry on the works. He expressed hopes that 13 millions would be obtained by the liquidation of M. Mirk' estate, and considered that by demAnding the full amount of 500 fr. per share, and by issuing the obligations which had not been taken up, all future emergen cies could be providtd for. FREE TRADE IN FRANCE. The ifonitetir has the following : _ _ _ England has received with the greatest satisfaction the bill submitted to the Legislative Body by the Emperor's government for the abolition of the sliding scale on the importation and exportation of corn and flour, and the sub stitution of a moderate fixed duty on imports and free liberty of exports. This measure is there regarded as a new step in the path of free trade, in which France must irresistibly lead the rest of Europe to imi tate her example. It will soon be known in France, as in England, that protecting duties on corn, when they are high, are more injurious to agriculture Seel( than to all other interests. Since the abolition of the corn laws in the l'nited Kingdom, the cultivation of the soil his made immense progress ; the class of farmers has increased and become richer, and their capital has increased more rapidly than that of any other traders. The news that the com mercial treaty with Belgium is concluded, and that the negotiations with the Zollverein are progressing satisfac torily, confirm the hope entertained that the French (m -iracle movement will extend to all Europe.

EXPRESS FROM PARIS. (fox Ova OWN 001113.113PONDINT.) PARIS, TiII3IBDAT EVININO. The journals have been "invited" to make as little fuss as possible about the dire events at Warsaw, and not to contradict the assertions of the official Russian journals about the number of the killed and wounded, which is believed from various despatches to be twenty times greater than those journals admit. The Emperor Napoleon is vexed and disappointed beyond measure at the turn which events have taken in Poland. The cause of the Poles is popular in France, more so, perhaps, than that of the Italians, and the Emperor had hoped to gain credit for promoting their eman cipation. At the same time he was caressing the idea of a Russian alliance. But he now sees that the massacres of Warsaw have interposed immense difficulties in the way of this latter scheme, which, however, he is not prepared to give up, and hence the hesitation to allow the journals to speak too harshly of Russia. I hear, on very good authority, that the Emperor of AIWA' and the King of Prussia wrote identical letters to the Czar, entreat ing him to keep Poland down, and that the dies& lutiou of the Agricultural Society and the bloody consequences which so soon followed are to be attri buted to this letter. Here again is subject of great annoyance to Napoleon 111. The new tariff for exoneration from military ser vice published by the Moniteur to-day is higher than the last. The price of a substitute is raised from 2,300 fr. to 2,500 fr. Soldiers who wish to buy off the remaining term of their service must pay 550 fr. a year instead of 500 fr. The premium on re-enlistment after seven years' service is raised from 2,000 fr. to 2,200 fr. The following funny paragraph appears in the Pays : It has been pretended in various correspondence that the pretence in Paris of the director of the journal Ii Pro grasp of Naples, the organ of the federalist party in that city, was connected with • project for an approaching ex pedition to Southern Italy in favour of Prince Murat. Our personal information authorises us to believe that there is no foundation for this news. This is surely a very weak denial. But then we must remember that the Pays announced the 750,000 signatures to the Muratist petition, of which nothing more has been heard. On the other hand, there is no confirmation of the news that Murat was banished, and the text of the Emperor's letter disapproving his pretensions has not been published. The Moaikur announces that Lord Elgin, who has been for some days in Paris, bad the honour of a private audience of the Emperor yesterday. Lord Clyde is at the Hotel du Rhin. The secretary of the Persian embassy has just been to Douai to take possession of 25,000 muskets which the French government has ceded to the Shah. At the Bourse the Rente rose 10c. in consequence of the lowering of the Bank of England discount, and the expectation that the example will be fol lowed here. Mobilier rose Sir. 75c.

Sire,—At the solemn moment at which the Archduchy of Austria above the Eons meets, by order of year Majesty, it feels the necessity of expressiog to your Majesty its pa. titude for having begun to act on constitutional principles. May those principles, inaugurated by the constitutional law of the 2Gth of February of tho present year, be deve loped, and result in the completion of the edifice of a OM. stetational empire. Is expressing this sentiment, the Did is absorbed by the idea of an Austria great, free, and strong ; and it is profoundly convinced that the basis of each au edifice is the unity of the monarchy coo glued is the law relative to the representation of the empire. May constitutional unity, which offers to all the provinces of the Empires degree of independence sufficient to satisfy their wants mid their legitimate wishes, be and remain a truth both in fact and in words l HoOng with confidence that this wish will be realised, the Dig gives to your Majesty an assurance of its fidelity and of It. immovable devotedness. The following is the text of the opening address delivered in the Diet of Lower Austria on the 6th by the Governor of the province, Baron de Halbhubex : August Assembly of the Dist,—His Apoetolie Majesty, by a decree of the 31st March hurt, has deigned to appAit Prince Joseph de Colloredo-Manifold to the office of Pro vfaoisl Marshal of the Archduchy of Austria, and the Vice- President of the Government, Baron Joseph de Balchlberg, for his representative in the presidentship of the Diet. I have the honour, therefore, to introduce into the Diet, and to present to the august assembly, his Excellency the Pro vincial Marshal of the Archduchy of Austria and his de puty in the Diet, and I pray those two dignitaries to ac cept my felicitations on the eminent and important position to which they have been called by the 000fidenoe and kind ness of the monarch. Let me also be permitted to offer to the high trembly of the Diet my warmest felicitations on this remarkable occasion, when, obeying the gracious intentions of our Emperor and master, it enters, for the first time, on the course of constitutional life, and finds itself on the point of undertaking a mission so important, and so intimately connected with the "enteral interest,. Great and just hopes are attached to this mission, but it also involves important duties and a re sponsibility, the weight of which is further increased by the profound complications of the present epoch. It is with good mason that the Archduchy of Austria is considered as the heart of our great empire. That heart hex ever beatto vigorously for whatever is great, noble, and beautiful, for the prosperity, power, and, honour of the monarchy, for the glory of our legitimate sovereign family. That heart has not spared its blood when called upon to show its fidelity to the prince and country. The population of Southern Austria, animated with these sentiment., trustfully ex pect. that the men it has chosen with confidence for its re presentatives will be, in all circumstances, the faithful and sirloin interpreters of these loyal sentimeota, and will reso lutely and energetically defend the just rights of all Austria and of its dynasty, and assuredly the country will not he disappointed in its firm confidence. May the bkming of the Almighty descend on the labour , ' of this high Assembly, and snore beneficial results to its patriotic efforts. As the representative of the government, I have farther to give 'the assurance that its organs will consider it as a sacred duty and feel it an honour to promote, with their mint earnest efforts, the object of this high national Assembly, which object, moreover, is also that of the government. ARRIVAL OF THE EARL OF ELGIN. —•-- DOVER, TIIIMIDAT Evmmo. To-day the citizens of Dover have been on the qui rire, owing to the safe arrival en his native shores of his Excellency the Earl of Elgin and Kincardine, her Majesty's plenipotentiary in the recent toeceasful operations in China. On getting to the Lord Warden Hotel, the noble earl, whose bronzed countenance exhibited much gratification at the warmth sod cordiality of his reception, proceeded to the coffee-room, followed by the Mayor and corporation, when an address was emphatically read by the Town Clerk, Mr. E. Knocker. Lord ELGIN, in reply, said—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen of the corporation, I am truly sensible of the very great honour you do me by coming forward in this manner, on belied( of the ancient town sod port of Dover, to welcome me on my return home after an absence—an anxious and protracted period of *became—from England ; and allow me to say that I feel still more gratified at the assurance contained in this ad dims, that my conduct has been such as to satisfy you that, while I was engtged in the service of the crown in a distant part of the world, I was not unmindful of that noble ox. ►ortatioo, " England expecte that every man will do his duty," by which so often, in critical moments and in times of difficulty, the best and bravest of our countrymen have been encouraged to deeds of heroism and public virtue. (Applause.) The way to Pekin was opened up to us on this occasion by the valour of our troop., acting in coejunction with those of France, and ably supported by the fleet ; for, as au impartial witness of the services rendered by both branches of our force, I feel bound in justice to state—and I gladly avail myself of this, the first opportunity of meeting a body of my countrymen to make the avowal—that although the services of the army naturally attracted a greater measure of public attention, these of the navy were not inferior, whether as respects the gallantry displayed by the actors or the importance of the results achieved. The two services, or rather both branches of our service, vied with each other in devotion and teal for their country. (Hear, hear.) Gen. dome°, after the groat achievement of an advance on Pekin —an achievement which will occupy, I venture to say, • conspicuous place in the history of the world—(applause)— after that achievement was accomplished, it became the ditty and office of diplomacy to endeavour to tarn to good account the advantages it was calculated to ensure; in the first place to punish with necessary severity deeds of bad faith and cruelty, but above all to remember that we did not go there for the purpose of making conquests, but in order to establish relations of amity and mutual benefit between our own country and the most populous nation on the earth—a nation containing 400,000,000 of souls, who, no doubt, still labour under the disadvantages and exhibit the defects which ignorance of the world and isolation en gender both in individuals and society—{hear, hear)—but who, nevertheless, are a people eminently industrious, peaceable, intelligent, and commercial, and who are there. fore calculated, when the shackles and trammels which impede the true exercise of their natural energies shall have been shaken off, to contribute largely, both as producers and consumers, to the sum of human prosperity and mutual well-being. (Cheers.) The object I have had in view in the provisions of both the treaty of Tien-tain and the treaty of Pekin ltu been to lay the foundation of permanent peace and good under standing with the empire of China ; but it meta with her Majesty's representative I have left in that country to com plete that important work. He will have great difficulties to contend with, because the habits of prepossession and prejudice in an Oriental people are not to be removed in • ' day ; but lam satisfied be merits your confidence, and I trust he will receive from the people of this country a large share of that indulgence and confidence so liberally be stowed on myself, which your reception of me to-day so significantly and gracefully manifests. (Applause.) I wish to add that I feel espeeialy gratified and flattered by the attendance of the volunteers on this occasion. I wish it were in my power to express to them individually my feelings ; but I trust that his worship the mayor, or some other gentleman, will supply what lam unable to do personally. [Captain Churchward, the commanding officer of the Bth Cinque Ports Rifles, was here called forward and presented to his lordship, who continued as follows I wish to say to theme and to the volunteers generally, that it was a great consola tion to us, while defendiog and maintaining the interests of our country in remote regions of the earth, to know that thousands of gallant men were enrolling themselves here, to protect the homes of England from injury and insult should occasion for their services arise. (Great applause.) The Earl and Lady Elgin left for Loudon by the 3.45 mail train, being accompanied to the railway station by the mayor and corporation, and lustily cheered by a crowd which nearly filled the platform. THE CASE OF LORD KINGSTON. (THLB DAY.) On the re-assembling of the court this morning, Mr. Dishy Seymour stated that he bed seen Dr. Sey mour, the physician alluded to yesterday, and Dr. Seymour had arranged to sae the noble lord this morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Montagu Chambers handed in a letter, addreased this morning by Lord Kingston to the Master, to the fol lowing effect : " I address you, having seen in the Morning Post gross calumnies circulated against my character. I must request you to insert my letter in the Evening Star, the Times, or Morning Poet tomorrow, as it may do me injury to allow your calumnies to be inserted in the papers." Mr. P. Thompson suggested that a decision in the case might be facilitated if the Master with one of the counsel on either side should have an interview with Lord Kingston, and pat to his lordship a series of questions, amongst which he would propose to ask, " Why do you desire a jury!" and "Do you think the proprietor of the hotel at Chester • respectable person?" The Master did not think the first question would be appropriate, Lord Kingstsion having expressed no desire to have a jury, but, on the contrary, having distinctly stated that he had no such wish. Mr. M. Chambers could not see the object of the other question, for an answer in the affirmative would be in itself a proof at lunacy, the earl having before constantly main tained a contrary opinion. Mr. Digby Seymour then left the court for the purpose of hearing Dr. Seymour's report of his interview with Lod Kingston, and upon his return announced that after grave and anxious consideration he had decided upon a course which would relieve the court from farther trouble in the cue. He asked yesterday for an adjournment with the object of sending a telegram to Ireland, sad of endeavouring to ascertain for his own satisfaction—both by seeing Lord Kingston, and consulting a physician, whose impartial judgment might guide him in the very delicate and pain ful position in which he was placed—what course he should adopt. Dr. Seymour had seen Lord Kingston, and the result which he wished to communicate to the court was that, although he was not prepared to say, but rather the contrary, that the delusions operating in the noble lord's mind were not followed by lucid intervals, upon the whole he considered him of unsound mind. That being so his duty to the noble lord would not permit him to sub ject him further to the excitement which these proceedings produced. every moment of which exaggerated the malady under which the noble lord was suffering. In withdrawing, however, from the petition, he ventured again to state that he came to the court prepared to meet the ease as deve loped in affidavits filed in Chancery, and was taken com pletely by surprise by the evidence of insanity brought down to the present time. He had an power to meet the evidence in support of the petition, with the strong opinion expressed by the Master 1 self as to the result of the interview he had had with Lord Kingstoe, and acknowledging the fairness and even generosity with which the case had been conducted on the other side, and thank ing the Master for hi, forbearance and indulgence during the proceedings, he had no other course left but to retire from the case, merely expre.sing his hope that the noble lord, in the heavy affiiction hod visited him in his old age, would 'melee from hi. family that kindness old sym pathy which he was sure the court would desire to see ex tended to him. ..... Mr. IL Chambers expressed his gratification at the comae which his learned friend had adopted, which would nave the family of the noble lonl from further pain on account of these proceedings, and he joined in the trait that his lord ship would be restored to associations which hi. mental in capacity hail separated him from, and again merit the testi mony that had been borne by all him friends to his former high sense of honour and strict gentlemanly bearing. The Master said his duty now became a very plain lint melancholy one. Whatever speculative or theoretics! di& culties might exist as to divining what wan implied by the terms of unsound mind, these eases resolved themselves into questions of a pre-eminently practical ohmmeter. The question to be decided clearly was ran the person any longer be intrusted with free action without danger to himself, and whether that degree of mental disorder existed was a matter of evidence below judicial action could be Wien for the purpose of protection for the asfortinutte individual against himself and other. who might be disposed to take advan tage of the grievous condition to which he had been reduced. end protection to third parties—to the public—against dangerous acts which he could not resist committing, and for which he was not legally responsible. That was the whole question. Had they satisfactory evidence twinging the ears up to this line? if an, from that moment the law stepoed in for the protection both of the lunatic and the public. He was of opinion—and he thought everyone who bad been in the court duriug the proceedings in this case. and the public, before whom the proceedings had been truly and accurately brought front day to day , must be of opinion also—that that line had been reached. and even far aurpaased. He begged to acknowledge publicly the great obligation. he was under, and the very painful and heavy responsibility he had felt in discharging the twofold duties of judge and jury in this very delicate matter, to the learned counsel on beith sides, for the temper and discretion they had displayed, and also for the sincerity and frankness with which the case had been rooducteL He thought the noble lord lad been represented a moat becoming manner by the counsel ; the ends of public justice had in hi. opinion been attained, and there was nothing left for him to do but to prononoos " Robert Henry Earl of Kingston. of Mitchelatown Castle of Mitchebutown, in the county of Cork, to be a person of 'manned mind, not competent for the control of himself. his lands, hereditament:. or possessions." The inquiry was then declared to be closed.
