TWO O'CLOCK Consols, Money Consols for Account, Feb. 8 9si THE INTERNAL SLAVE TRADE..—We have no in- s tention of concealing our satisfaction at the rapidly-in t:leasing. importance of the commerce in blacks between Missouri and the South. There is no true friend of the State who will not be gratified by the fact that the slaves of Missouri are rapidly finding purchasers who take them out of the State and leave in their stead thousands of gold dol lars, enabling their former owners to pay for the labour of white men in tilling the ground and raising the rich crop s which our farms are capab le of producing under labour intelligently directed. The South is doing a good work for Missouri. We have to record the departure of another lot of negroes from our midst. The steamer Ryland brought 29 adults and children, male and female. They were the property of Mr. Tom Smith, of Independence, and bought at an overage of 1,000 dols. a head, .as a speculation, by Mr. Gwin, of Vicksburgh, Mississippi. Mr. Gwin says that six or seven of these are among the finest negroes he ever saw, and cost him 1,200 dols. each.—Missotes Democrat, Jan. 6. FEARFUL BOILER EXPLOSION.--A most fearful boiler explosion occurred on the Shields Railway . on Tues day. The coals are sent down this railway by incline to the staiths in the Tyne, and a man named Wm. Brunton was in charge of a standing engine about a mile and a half from Percy Main. Brunton had cleaned the boiler on Sa turday, and had sent two sets of waggons down to the docks at the Hayhole, when the boiler exploded with fearful force. It was lifted up and torn into four pieces, the principal por tion being thrown across four railways and over two deep cuttings. Another portion struck a cottage belonging to Brunton, and nearly demolished it, his wife having a very narrow escape. The engine -house was completely demo lished, and Brunton was buried under the roof and ruins of the building ; and a portion of the boiler flying across the waggon way, as a set of waggons were running down the incline, cut the rope and caused them to run adrift. A. woman and a little girl were riding behind, and as the wag gons increased in momentum they screamed most pitiably. The woman leaped off, but her legs got entangled in the rope, and she was thrown down and dragged some distance. The lad in charge of the waggons fortunately got the rope loose from the waggon and thus saved her ; and another man employed on the railway fortunately jumped upon the waggon and rescued the girl. The waggons ran with great velocity down to Percy Main, and, coming in contact with some standing waggons, smashed them and did a considerable amount of mischief. As soon as a force could be gathered together a number of men were employed to dig out Brunton from:,the ruins, and his body was recovered about an hour and a half after the accident, fearfully mutilated. He was of course quite dead. The cause of the explosion has not been ascertained, but it is supposed to have been caused by a tiCareity Of Water oncliokrZaminvr an c Zino, Share Railways. Paid.

(Before the Lord Chancellor.) ATTORNEY-GENERAL v. CHAMBERS-ATTORNEY-GENEILAL V. REES. The further hearing in this part-heard cause :was re sumed this morning. The question is, What is the truo line of demarcation between the sea shore and the beach, or land embankment, at Llanelly, Carmarthenshire, South Wales ? Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., is now being heard for the respondents. (Before the Lords Justices.) APPEAL.—IN RE THE ATHENJEUM LIFE ASSIIIIINCE COMPANY. The further hearing of this appeal motion was resumed this morning. Mr. Daniel., Q.C., was heard in reply. At the conclusion of the arguments the Lords Justices consulted together, and Lord Justice Knight Bruce an nounced that judgment would be given on the 19th of February. ROLLS' COURT. (Before Sir John Romilly.) JUDGMENT-PRETTY V. SOLLY. His Honour the Master of the • Rolls said—This is a question which arises on the construction of the act of Par liament, and a dispute is raised on tho anestion of title. The bill is filed for specific performance of the act, and to Piave the usual declarations made. It appears that the certificate complained of applies to the minerals under the lands Id loted. The certificate furnishes a good title to all the allot ments, except as to the mines and minerals of the allotment to the lord of the manor, to which, it is said, a good title is not given. The question is raised on the construction of the 58th section of the Enclosure Act, 45 Geo. 111., cap. 9, an act for enclosiog the lands, meadows, and marshes of Great Campton, in the county of Dorset. His Honour observed that the general rule in the .con struction of public statutes was that the special clause ruled the general clause, and looking to the 28th, 291 - 11, and 58th clauses of the Act, he was satisfied that the certificate of the chief clerk, as to the allotment of one-sixteent h part of the land to the Lord of the Manor, gave him a good title not only to the lands, but also to the mines and mi nerals under the lands. It could not be intended to give hhn only a superficial interest in the surface soil. His Honour declared that the certificate of the chief clerk, givin tg the Lord of the Manor that preference—the preference to the mines and minerals under his allotted lands—must b., con firmed. CARTER V. SEBRIGHT. This case again stands over for judgment. CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) TEETH.-A PAINFUL TRIAL.-ALBERT V. YULV.. Mr. Lewis appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Green for the defendant. The action was brought to recover £8 10s. for a set of teeth supplied to defendant. It appeared that plaintiff is a surgeon-dentist, and that he was employed by defendant to make him a set of teeth. Having done so, he took tlx em to defendant's house, and tried them on, when they t ere pronounced a misfit. They were taken away, and agr Ain tried and left, and defendant was told to persevere—(laugl'i ter)--but defendant had no patience, and they were ag,l yin returned, plaintiff promising to make a fresh set. Up on their being taken home, plaintiff promised to try the, n ; but when plaintiff called to see how they answered, defe) id ant said it was no use trying, for they hurt him so nu ich , that he could not possibly keep them in his mouth. He said to plaintiff, "You have taken a great deal of trouble in this matter, here is 30s. for you." To this plaintiff re plied, " Ten times that would not pay me. You had bet ter persevere—(laughter)—and I expect to be paid." De fend ant said, "Oh 1 that is absurd. I shall not keep the t ;eeth, but here are two pounds for your trouble." Plaintiff took the £2, but only on account, and took the teeth away with him. He sent themback a day or two afterwards, but. they were returned. He thought defendant should have given them a fair trial. He was a very irritable man. (Laug.'ater.) His Honour—Well, Mr. Lewis, what can we do• P I don't see how you can expect the poor man to persev ero in spite of his teeth. (Laughter.) Mr. Lewis—He could not expect the teeth to be easy the first day. He has not given them a fair trial. Witnesses were called, and one, a surgeon-dentist,. said that, looking at the model of defendant's mouth (produced) he considered it would be quite a month before the 'teeth would be easy. His Honour—And would he have to persevere the whole month ? Witness—Yes. His Honour—l should say that would be a painful 'trial, (Laughter.) For the defence it was urged that defendant wat no . bound to keep the teeth if they did not suit him, at .d a Miss Lewis was called, who stated that defendant su ft ered very much from the teeth. In her experience the teeth should be easy the first day. Mr. Lewis How do you know P Witness—l have seen many teeth fitted. Mr. Lowls—Oh that's nothing. Now, don't be (lit (lb de d , pray have you worn false teeth ? (Laughter.) His Honour—Oh ! fie, Mr. Lewis. Now, come, don't you think that is rather too pointed ? Witness—(laughing, and displaying a singularly re paler white set)—Never, sir. (Laughter.) Mr. Lewis—Then I won't take your evidence. His Honour—What can we do Now come, Mr. L.ll you are a clever fellow, how will you put this ? Mr. Lewis—l contend that he has not given the teoS di a fair trial. If a tailor sends you home a suit of dot) ordered, and they don't fit, it does not follow that you. aro not bound to keep them. If they don't fit he alters the m. His Honour—l don't see that, Suppose the trot; sera were the only ones you had, and they didn't fit, that wt ,uld carry out the old saying—" Lying in bed while 'our breeches are mended." (Roars of laughter.) Miss Lewis—The teeth rocked in Mr. Yuly's moues and made him throw up his food. His Honour—Well, after that—why Mr. Lewis will throw up his case. (Roars of laughter.) Mr. Lewis—No, I won't. His Honour—Then we must nonsuit you. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS D AY.) have had no instructions from the Commissioners on the subject. I have reported the result of the trial yesterday, and I am going to Scotland-yard after this charge termi nates. _ _ Mr. Henry—There is no doubt the prisoner quitted the force without leave. Mr. Lewis—Yes, your worship, but he has done no harm in so doing. Mr. Henry—l shall inflict the full penalty of £5, or a month's imprisonment. That leaves the question open whether the Commissioners will prosecute the prisoner in the county of Lancaster. The fine was immediately paid, we understand, by Mrs. Wilkins.

DESERTING FROM THE POLICE FORCE.—John Jes eph Duigan, a smart-looking young fellow, lately a serge an tin the E division of police, was placed at the bar charged - 5 iith withdrawing from the force without notice or leave in si 'cit ing, and also with neglect of duty. The prisoner was yesterday indicted a t the Middle sex Sessions for stealing a silver watch and gold chain, a p iece of cloth, three rings, and the sum of £47 14s. 7d., the I wo perty and money of Edward Wilkins, but a difficulty ha r ing arisen he was discharged. The facts adduced in evide ace against him on this occasion were as follows::—The prise •ner was a police-sergeant in the E division of police, and acted as divisional clerk at the station in George-stm set, St. Giles's. The prosecutor was a police-constable in: the same division, and his wife was employed at the station .; just mentioned as cook to the unmarried constables who lo d ged there. The prisoner and Mrs. Wilkins eloped on the 2 9th of December, and on the 20th of Janury, in consequemei of 6 telegraphic despatch forwarded to Liverpool by Mr. O'Brien, the superintendent of the prisoner's division, vho had received private information, Scott, a Liverpool t lei ec five, went on board a ship called the Switzerland, bon. ad for America, and there he found the fugitives passing and er the name of Wells, and occupying one berth as man and It ife. The things mentioned in the indictment were found int the prisoner's possession, and also some money, part, no dot tbt, of a eum of £47 143. 7d., which the woman. had witnthw just previous to her flight, from the savings bank in tSI on tague-street, Bloomsbury, where it had been deposit ed in her own name. They had paid £l5 10s. for their pass age to New York. When tlie adultress found she was dett Led, she threw her arms round her paramour's neck, kissed im, and said, " Never mind, Jack, we'll be together again- :yet ; the tailor's (alluding to her husband, who had been a to .ilor before he entered the force) no use." Inspector Peth( 3rF. E, pr4ceeded to Liverpool and brought them back to Lc mtlon, and the prisoner was charged with feloniously appro , pr dat ing the prosecutor's property. After the evident la for the prosecution closed the assistant judge asked the le awned counsel who conducted the prosecution whether he could point out anything in the evidence upon which he. could leave it to the jury whether the prisoner had been go Elty of the felony in the county of Middlesex. There was no doubt ample evidence upon which a Liverpool jury could a, ^..t, for at Liverpool the prisoner was found in actual possesseloxt of the property, but there was not the least proof either of the adultery, which no doubt had taken place at Live rpool, having first occurred in Middlesex, or that within the .juxis diction of the county the prisoner possessed himself of eso articles or the money. The point raised by the leait ned judge could not be met, as the prisoner was ordered ti be discharged. The evidence offered against the prisoner this morning was given by Superintendent O'Brien. He stated tha pri soner was what was called a sergeant-clerk. On the !Nth of December he was reported absent without leave,, and nothing more was heard of him until he was taken_ into custody for stealing the rings and watches. He was p)si five the prisoner never gave notice of his intention to• quit the force, and he also knew he had not received wriaten leave to do so. Mr. Lewis, jun., who appeared for the prisoner, ;said there was no doubt the offence committed by :his lent came within the 15th section of the Metropolitan 1?olice Act, which authorised a magistrate to inflict a penalty of or a month's imprisonment, for quitting the force wi tout notice ; but he hoped that, as the prisoner had been con fined for some days, and had lost his situation, them agis trate would remit the penalty. Mr. Henry—lf I take that view of the case, the pri Muer is still liable to be tried for the offence committed in lan cashire, as the judge was of opinion that there was no (thing to show that the prisoner possessed himself of the pl.( occu tor's things in Middlesex. Do the commissioners i. acid to indict him at Liverpool ? Inspector O'Driou—l cannot say, your worshi p. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A LIEUTENANT OF ENGINEERS AND A BARRISTER CHARGED WITH STEALING KNOCKERS.—Lieutenant Caleb Robert Stanley, of the Engineers, Tower, and Mr. James Ferguson, barrister, of 16, George-street, were charged as follows : Thomas Brown, a police constable, said he was on duty at half-past two that morning in Regent. street, and when at the corner of Maddox-street he saw the two defendants going down the street ringing the bells of nearly every house, they being both drunk at the time. Mr. Inspector Webb, of the C division, said he must ask for a remand in this case, as in the cell in which the de fendants were locked up were found two knockers, and he should be in a position to prove that they had stolen them. The knockers were here produced. Charles Madgett said he was employed to clean the cells at the station, and that morning he found undenthe seat of No. 5 cell, that in which the defendants were, the•tvip. knockers produced. There were no others placed in the cell' but the defendants. Ferguson said he was the worse for liquor, but ho totally denied the charge of taking the knockers. Stanley said helnew he was in the wrong. Mr. Webb saidli should be able to produce the owner of one knocker, and other persons whose doors had been injured. • The defendants were then remanded. THIRD EDITION SUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock. PRUSSIA. The statement of the Minister of Finance has been published at length in the official paper (Staats anzeiger). The following figures may have inte rest : The net surplus of revenue for the year 1858 was 2,866,000 thalers. This is distributed as follows : Thalers. Indirect Taxes 1,861,000 Direct Taxes 568,000 Railways 400,000 •• •• •11 •• Telegraphs .. 83,000 The Post-office presents a small increase in the receipts, but the increased expenditure far more than swallows up this addition.

REFORM IN KENSINGTON.—At the usual fort nightly meeting of the Kensington vestry on Wednesday night last—Mr. Wilkins in the chair—the following resolu tion was carried amidst considerable cheering :—" That a petition be addressed by the vestry of the parish of St. Mary Abbotts, Kensington, to the Honourable the Commons of England in Parliament assembled, requesting that the Honourable House would, in any measure that may be adopted for the reform of the representation of the people in Parliament, be pleased to take into consideration fir , strong claims of the parish of Kensington to be reprert by two burgesses ou account of its wealt h, reSPect LAMY, and population." LOLA MONTEZ IN CAR,LISLE. The Carlisle Journal of Friday says :—Last night this celebrated lady delivered her lecture, " Portraits of English and American Character," to a numerous, though not crowded, audience, in the Athenaeum. She was unaccom panied upon the platform. The features most noticeable in her appearance and demeanour were her low forehead—the ,‘ tenuqronte" so mu c h a d m i re d b y th e R omans —h er fi ne eyes,—her arch and expressive mouth, the lips dosing with a firm compression which one might expect from Madame's energy of character,—her voice fresh and unworn, and evincing a naive and delicate susceptibility of what she read, —her occasional Irish pronunciation, —and her niiichieVous smirk, when speaking of American courtships and the free doms of American flirtation. We borrow the following sketch of her lecture from a Manchester contemporary There stepped upon the platform a lady of middle heig ht, delicate in hmb and graceful as a fawn, with a head in which the intellectual is considerably developed ; a face of pleasing —some of our friends were inclined to say fascin:?totiiceng, —expression ; a clear, sweet - toned, yet ringing and an enunciation so distinct, that we venture to think not a word was lost throughout the evening in that vast area and that curiously-packed audience. Madame Montez wore a high dress of rich black silk velvet, with a small collar of white point lace ; her dark hair was free from the encumbrance of jewellery, and she dispensed with rings or bracelets, or that other class of modern ornament to which good taste give a less complimentary appella tion. In the delivery of the address there was consummate art displayed ; every point told, now exciting smiles and lassott /ter, and anon, with rare eloquence,, drawing forth en thUslastic plaudits. Curiosity, no doubt, to see so remark , hie a character, brought those thousands together, but it was evident that large numbers found their attention secured, and their interest excited in the subject of her dis course, and in the artistic mode of its delivery. We have seen no portraits of the far-famed Lola which give the , slightest idea of her personal appearance ; for the charm lies not in that sharply-cut Grecian nose, or that fine grey eye, or that mouth in which intensity is strikingly marked, but in the impression of general character noticeable in manner and voice, which are expressive at once of fancy and feeling. The room was densely crammed in every part, although the expedient of placing forms upon the plat form and in every possible available place was resorted to. In fact, many thought themselves fortunate in obtaining standing room, and the forest of faces was perhaps such as could be scarcely witnessed in one room in any other town in England. Lola Montez commenced her lecture by pointing out the difference between the Americans and the English, and said that the settlers in the western states were most unlike the English, for there was congregated a sslama gunda of all nations, having a character which England had not originated, and which she need not regret that she had not. The English were proud of the past history of their country, the Americans looked forward to a glorious future, for their constitution,. eomparatkvely speaking, was but of yesterday's growth, and the graves of the first settlers there were still to' be seen. She cha-: racterised the spitoon as one of the institutions of America ; although she was glad to say that it Was York,ila grad ually afil l. l 3 3 m ost t o h n e , and dr she .g rooms sd of t New Anglo-American commission should be ! ) .17:1 1 e 3 1 3 nted, which ,should sit twenty years to settle the great " saliva ques tion," which would have the ..affect of keeping the two na tions from going to war about a coast of 11losguitoes, in the deadly swamps of Central America. Sly sonsideredlhe excitability of the Americans was co-extensive with their gullibility, and she cited the case of the visit of Kossuth to America to show how they raised up an idol to themselves one day to demolish it +he next. A leading feature in the American character she considered was speed — the leading feature in the character of the English strength, and whilst the Yankees might be good at attack, she did not consider that they could compare with the English for defence. The element of speed characterised everything in America ,• fortunes were made sometimes before breakfast 'one day and lost before dinner the next; men often entered into the learned professions with only three months of preparation, and in six months they occupied leading positions in those professions. - %Vith regard to the religion of the Americans, there were about one hundred and fifty different sects there, and devotion was carried on with that vehemence Which Was rarely found in England allied with sanity. The power of public opinion and the freedom of the'press in America were next commented upon; as was also the re markable freedom allowed to young ladies, who could be taken to balls and concerts by any respectable person with ' out the slightest objection bting raised by papas or mammas. She considered the American ladies very handsome ; but if she had been a man, she would have preferred an Englishwoman to an American for a wife. The equality of the sexes was greater in America than England. A man took no pleasures in which his wife did not participate, and there was not that cringing of one class to another, nor that undue deference paid to wealth,., in America, which were too common in England. She con cluded her lecture with a glowing peroration upon the im portance of England and America maintaining a proper and amicable political alliance. The above is only the merest outline of the lecture', which, must be heard to be appreciated, for the style of the delivery of the lecture by Lola Montez is a thing which can never be pourtrayed by dead letterpress. METROPOLITAN BOARD OF WOR. 'KS. The weekly meeting of the Metropolitan Board of Works was held yesterday at the Guildhall ; Mr. J. Thwaites in the chair. The financial statement was presented, which showed a total general balance of £262,280 Ils. 7d. DEPTFORD LOWER-ROAD MAIN SEWER. Tne tender of Mr. Walker of £695 (the lowest) was accepted, for the cleansing of the above sewer. THE LATE FALL OF HOUSES IN KENTISH-TOWN. The Superintending Architect laid be/pre the bOard a report from the district surveyor on the late fall of.buildinga in Kentish-town. It stated that Mr. Philip Hardwick, under whose control the buildings in Garsford-street had been erected, had taken every precaution for their safety. The materials were perfectly satisfactory, and the fault was in the mode of construction. Mr. John Stevens, the builder, engaged with a bricklayer to carry up the brickwork at 355. per rod f6r labour, but failed to dictate any terms of control over his siitordinates, and failed also to keep : pace with them for the supply of timber, and in the execution of the carpenter's Work. The bricklayers were remonstrated with for sat waiting, but they refused, and went on to finish their job,*und carried up the party walls B and C to the top. The latter having chimneys and a badly constructed scaffold only on one side, had no support or stay on that side, for a height of 30 feet or more • the wall thus built in the winter, and without bond of an kind, broke off at the level of the second floor and knocked down the uppervortion of a 'party wall. The concussion caused the ilank7wall to buckle, and the top 'portion to fall outwards abo{it 36 hours afterwards. It was perfectly upright before, bgt built ler two stories and upwards without timber. The acident was attributable entirely to: the- carelessness of the workmen, and the want of proper management in the builder,L The report then goes on to recommend that in any fiitire amended act a discretionary power to be given to the district surveyor to allow such bond as may, in his opinion, be an advantage to the structure, without being a detriment in case of fire. This communication was referred to the Committee of Works and General Purposes. . THE APPROPRIATION OF BERKELEY-HOUSE. Mr. Leslie brought forward some resolutions . in favour of a cancellation of the agreement with Government in refer ence to Berkeley House, but - The CHAIRMAN said as the plans for the alteration of Berkeley house were now before her Majesty's Govern- k ment, until that resolution, authorising their presentation, was rescinded, these resolutions could not be entertained. Mr. LESLIE said if that were se` ho would now give the necessary notices for that purpose. The board then. adjourned. ' - 11U1WER IN SIIEFFIELD:- • An atrocious and cowardly attempt to-take the life of a man was made on Thursday morning, opPositc'the General Post-office, Sheffield. William Wilson, a brass turner, who lives in No. 8, Court, Fitzwilliam-street, a few minutes' before one o'clock, was opposite the end of the' Harts head, and-was proceeding homewards, when an :unprovoked 'attack was made upon him ;, and, from the nature of this injuries.which he sustained, there can-be little doubt that the object of the assailants was to destroy his life. ' Accord ing to the wounded man's account of the transaction, three or four - Men, who came out of a presage opposite the Post tiffice,which is:known as the Hart's-head, ran at- him, and one of them plunged a knife or some other pointed instm" meat into his'abdomen. The men immediatety ran away. From the effects of the stab the man fell to the F rom: D d . and lay totally incapable of moving.

On the arrival of the injured 'ma* at the Town-hall, messengers were sent for surgical assistance,; Mr. Bland, of the Brunswick Hotel, Haymarket o hearing. of the occurrence, verpkindly went in search of a surgeon., but was unsuccessful in five or six instances. In the.ntean time, however, information was serif to Mr. W.. 11. Booth, Paradise-square, who was promptly in attendance. He found the man,lying at the Town-hall in a very exhausted condition, and on examination he ascertained that the in testines were protruding from a punctured wound on the right side of the abdomen, just over the region of the liver. His clothes were completely saturated with blood. After the necessary surgical treatment, the man was removed on, a stretcher to a room in the building where he would be more comfortable, but he died in the course of the day. He was a married man, in the employ of Mr, John Lambert, in Charles-street. LIVERPOOL BOROUGH BANK.—In the Liverpoo, Borough Bank case of " Scott v. Dixon" the application for a new trial has been refused. This decision will, of course, bear fatally upon the prospects of the Directors of the Western Bank of Scotland in their attempts to escape that civil responsibility which the shareholders- - after having observed the determination of the Government to interpose a screen against every o ther kind of process— have resolved, if possible, to establish. It may li kew is e lead to some new movement i n connection with the liqui dation of the Northumberland and Durham District 131111 1 5 0 which seems at present to be most adroitly kept f e rofigy v i e l 4 remark, although it is generally alleged to la features such as have not been exceededmixt flym a be hailed affair.

At a subsequent meeting of.the shareholders he ' admitted this fact, and it was only upon such admission he 1 was made liable to damages. The circumstance of his being singled out for attack, while the other directors, who might have saved the bank if they had listened to his re monstrances, have thus far beenleft un.scotched, will there fore, OA equitable grounds, be a subject of regret. ~_.,~_. IDOLATROUS OATHS 'IN HiNDOO COURTS OF s.7USTICE. The Rev. Dr. Duff, writing to ills Witness on the subject of oaths, says Here is aunther notable sign of reaction under the new former times sundry anti-Christian and ideltitrous- oaths were administered in all our courts to the nat4ves. The Mahommedan was sworn on his ACoran, the Brahmin On a text of the Vedas, and other Ifindoos by the water of the Ganges, or the name of some tutelary deity. To the undoes themselves, these oaths, particularly dot of swearing 4 the water of the Ganges, were very offensive. Indeed, rather' than take them, they often submitted to inaprison - Aleut for contempt of court. Need I say how -utterly abhorrent the administration of them became to the real Christian judge. At last the conscience of one man forbade his being a party 'to the Cdola-; trous usage; he refused any longer to adMintiter these oaths. In his honesty and consciousness he paid -the penalty, by being degraded, if riot vir 7 tnalldy suspended, for two years. This precipitated the iseussien of the question, as to theirtotalebo lition.. A n d s o on it . question , found that if. thex„*.ere not speedily abolished, other civilians, highip, ' ce would resign :the ser v i ce . At l eng th, in WO/e-de: cree for their abolition was passed, and a lorm,of ale solemn affirmature substituted instead: Irtbring mg about this happy result, our excellent friend Mr. Hawkins had an influential share. What, then, will he say now—what will the Christian 'people of , Great Britain say, when they are told that, about a Week ago, a bill was introduced into our Legisla tive. Council, and read a first time, for the - 'express purpose of restoring these idolatrous oatha-- It is net, however, to be read again a second time tillihe lapse of four months—the ileclared object being to allow time for obtaining rizrexpres sion of opinion 'alike native and European. We shall not fail to do what we can here. But it is at home that the mainspring of influence is to be found. May we not, then, expect that, on feceipt of the deplorable intelligence, all the Evangelical Churches of the British Isles shall rise in one mass, and give rorth- such an expression of sentiment, as may serve to blast the odious measure in its bud, and cover its authors with confusion and shame ? May not the Indian Minister be called for interfere in the matter without delay ? Or,.if heis not armed with - power to control our Legislative Ceunell, may not the I - imperial Parliament be called on to inter pose its resistless authority to deliver uqeoni the threatened iniquity ? .„ " The only pretext alleged for- bringiq forward so disgraceful a bill is the exceeding lenco of perjury. The prevalence of this high. .1 1,0 against God and man is, alas! a matter of noto riety. Perjury is as rife as rice liana:it; *but the restoration of idolatrous oathais surely Abt the cure for it; When these oaths were' formeilirOnainis , tered, fraud and chicanery, bribery andAptruption, lying and perjury, fornied in: all our Indi c ii' courts the almost absolute rule; truth, the race and soli:- tory exception. Affirmation, with or without oath—it is all one ; with or without oath,' it . is an, almost universal lie ;and the idolatrous oath only addi one sin to another. ,No, no ;. apart from the only, effectual remtdy which the re novating influence of Christianity supplies, the true and proper legal remedy -is the enactment of a law:: for the summary punishment of perjury. At present the state of the Taw on the subject of perjury is such that, practically, the most notorious perjures can escape with absolute impunity: This he knows full well; and hence he scruples not openly and un blushingly to ,perjure himself, with a smile of pertinence, or'a scowl of defiance, in thetery face of the judge ! Let the British people, then, insist On the non-restoration of the abominable idolatrous baths ; let them insist on the abolition 'of them in the :Queen's Supreme Courts ; let them. insist on the passing of an effective law agatrist.perjuryTancl one important step will be gained: towards the. clearing of the horrid Augean stable 4our judicial system. When , asked why such a'hiw should not be passed at once, the usual answer is, many at least of the present judges, could .not be 'trusted with the administration of it. Let us, then„haVe proper law, and proper judges -to administer it. Here is a subject worthy of the deliberation of Lord Stanley and his new Connell." A DIABOLICAL EXHIBITION'. (From the Nw Orleanut Delta.) In the year 1832, said to us yesterday a distin.- - guished legal gentleman of New Orleans, I visited Paris in the course of a. professional tour, that my Americanism might be polished town by a little attrition among the gentle particles of. Parisian society. I found the world-of Paris irki very eon- 7 siderable state of excitement, in conseqanee of an extraordinary performance which was - nightly exhibited by an eastern juggler, and which was nothing more'or less than the apparent decapitation of a man in the presence of an audience, under the very noses of a committee of medical gentlemen, who stood only so far distant while the. operation was being performed as to escape the swing of then long two-edged sword With which the juggler.stnote off the head. I went to see the exhibition, which took place in the theatre, in company with several American gentlemen. The theatre was crowded with between two and three thousand' . spectators, and:.th , urtain was up, displaying - a coniftion table,., r y vt:i: et long, upon the stage, at the 'very edge of i e which I obtained a seat, having gone very. early. At the given time, the juggler,-a. singular-look ing man, came upon thestage;withhiS shirt sleeves rolled up to his shoulders, and bearing a long heavy, two-edged sword. He upsethe table upon the boards, and showed that there 'Was' -no c01f,.. s cealed drawer or other recess, arld:placed.hiin:. self in 'the blaze of the „footlighti; „near the edge Or the stage: In a few words he stated what he was going to do, and requested some - of ther audience to come forward upon the Cage, that they might see there was no deception A number of medical gentlemen, who had been - chosen as a e n c4 o 4- inittee to intresti a gate the matter, if• possible, took their position upon t]p stage, and soon after tt the victim, who, ; '" had been sitting in. .the parque e, mounted the stage, removed,Ais coA and . n cravat, u turneffibafk his shirt-collar, and'hmtidnostvo moreupo 1 his bacleffi the table, elevated h t_he head i ßman's weapon. fairly expose his .neck' ai u - oo ing brought it down The juggler then raisedhy keen and& •f 1 l IC —I say - hiought it down upon the neck, for no one sword, and,,rgivingita sweep,wide , c ould -see that he did not, even those Within three feet-Of him—upon the neck of the Aubjeet - With great force:- Bloodspurted high into tlii air, Si nn° of it fallin • o n our party, and deluged the, stage, while the mo st fearful sound, 'a, something between a groan - Ind a shriek of horrorfrom_the-, whole assemblage, shook the building, and ,nurnefOus women - luid some Males fainted in their seats, and were ' borne Out by the ushers of the house. - The juggler raised lii.S sword again, repeated the bl°7 ' and the dig- , severed head fell upon the floor!
