The fearful dangers to invalids from spurious imitations of DU TIARRY's invaluable HEALTH-RESTORING REVA • LENTA ARABICA FOOD led to an investigation, and, upon application in 1854 for protection, the High Court of Chancery granted an injunction restraining Alfred Hooper Nevill. and his agents, muter a penalty of £5.000. from selling any article resembling or being a colourrble imitation of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica, of which we are the sole pro prietors. Now therefore, this is to give notice that the above reward will be paid, upon conviction, to anyone giving infor mation of any breach of the injunction.

The Committee appointed to superintend a series of Promenade Concerts as intrbduced into this Country and suc cessfully carried out by M. JULLIEN, have • ntered into arrangements by which these highly popular entertainments may be again presented to the public with all their former brillian y. The ORCHESTRA will consist of nearly ONE HUNDRED PEtiFORMERS, including many of the most distinguished Artistes of the day. Engag-errisats have been .already made, and others are in progress, with some of the greatest fltvourites as Vocalists and Solo Instrumentalists. The Series of Concerts will commence on SATUst DAY next, the 26th instant, and can only be prolonged for FOURTEEN NIGHTS. _ . _ The supply of Refreshments during these Concerts has been confided exclusively to Mr. STRANGE, of the Crystal Palace, Sydenham, whose success as a caterer for that Esta blishment is a sufficient r,,uarAntee for the complete satisfac tion of the Public in this department.

LONGITUDIYAL BEARINGS IN THE CONSTRUCTION OF VESSELS. The following letter is from a contemporary fost_xcars ago we were startled by the accident of the Birkenhead steamship breaking across (from having got upon a rock amidships), and submerging her whole crew , and numerous passengers, but consoled ourselves with the fact that she had undergone the process of length ening, and was therefore a patched vessel. But the Royal Charter was not patched, and yet she has more decidedly gone to pieces, and shown that there is no trusting to iron vessels in such circum stances. It is hinted, indeed, that only the worst .species of iron had been used in the construction of the Royal Charter, or is used in the construction of iron vessels generally. If this is so, I need not say it is a most serious crime, and cannot be too de cidedly repressed ; but I have come to be of the opinion there may be faults in the construction of lese vessels which at least should be considered at the same time, and that fault is that there is a want of longitudinal bearings—that is, bearings along the length of the vessels, and which appear parti cularly necessary in their case. In wooden vessels this defect does not appear so likely to be fatal. Their parts are more massive, they are more intimately combined, and on a strain more likely to resist a decided fracture. In iron vessels, as hitherto constructed, I think the break. ing across is obviously likely to happen. I have often thought on seeing the keel of an iron vessel laid down that it is inordinately slight, con sidering the numerous dependencies that must be connected with it, in the name of ribs, and the stu pendous weights that are to be laid upon them both, if only in the engines that are to impel the ♦essel. But I only thought : I did not consider it necessary or proper to make any observation or inquiry; but Ido both now. I consider the keels and ribs of iron vessels greatly too slight, consi dering the strain that is brought upon them, and that both require to be supported in a way which has never yet been done. No doubt, the internal planking does something to equalise the weights, and were that planking firmly united with the frame of the vessel it might give the vessel some thing of the toughness of wooden vessels as well as the stiength of iron. But there is no such union. Hence iron vessels, whatever may be their length, have no material longitudinal bearings or fasten ings beyond their plates, and they are not double plated. Wooden vessels, on the other hand, may fairly be said to be double planked. The inner planking is not, indeed, so thoroughly fastened to the ribs of the vessels as the external planking is, nor, consequently, forming so powerful a longitudi nal bearing ; but it is strongly united with the ribs, and the ribs are so close together that they also may be said to form a longitudinal bearing, as any diver gence caused in one rib would be checked by bear ing upon the other close at its side. It is different in fret veswls. The ribs being placed asunder, ' the whole longitudinal strain is upon the keel and plates. If the keel bends, the plates must rend, ,for they are not all of equal length. The upper plates are longer than those immediately under them, and these are longer than those immediately under them again. In this way, after the break of the gunwale, the whole strain comes upon plato after plate and they necessarily rend like a sheet of paper taken at the upper edge, or a piece of cloth of which the upper edge, or selvage has been broken. I think this teaches us several things. 1. That the keels of vessels should be of strength to sustain a great strain against hogging or indent ing; that is, against being doubled up if the ends of the vessel are placed upon two rocks apart, or broken across if placed amidships upon one rock. 2. That not only should the plates of vessels be assisted by powerful gunwales, but I think also by regular longitudinal bars of the strongest iron run ning along and connecting with the ribs, making the circuit of the vessel, and this in strength, like internal longitudinal ribs or hoops, that, in case of any disruption of the plates, would one after the other resist the breaking across of the vessel, or even any serious indentation of her plates. Nor is this enough. The structure of vessels is often likened to that of fowls. Well, every fowl has a breastbone, and the keel of the vessel may be likened to the breastbone of the fowl. But the fowl has also a backbone, and between these and the side bones is a perfect spheroid. Again, men and all quadrupeds or beasts have also backbones and breastbones. The back of men or quadrupeds may be broken, but the carcass does not therefore come asunder. Before the most expert butcher can divide the carcass of a sheep into chops, or the carcass of a bullock into ribs of beef, he must first divide the breastbone or remove it ; and in the same way the human body cannot be divided and made to fall asunder till the sternum, or breastbone, is removed. Then the ribs may be divided, or the back brokon7,--in short, the carcass broken across with the greatest ease; but not until then. A vessel with only a keel (or backbone) and ribs, and only laterally held from collapsing by the cross beams supporting the deck, or by the planking of the deck itself, appears to me to want a great ele ment of strength, in wanting longitudinal bearing , or bearings, equivalent to the breastbone in man an d animals. The crossbeams for the deck, while they prevent the sides of the vessel from collapsing or falling in, yet do not strengthen her longitudinally, nor do the deck plankings. These last may be said to keep the stem and stern from coming together, yet do not prevent them from going asunder, nor, consequently, the vessel from falling to pieces, and to prevent this last is precisely what is wanted. In short, vessels of every description ought to have longitudinal bearings along the ribs to strengthen the ribs and plates; and on the deck or decks to have main beams connecting themselves with the stein and stern, and the supporters of the bilge plates at such intervals as necessary arrange ments will allow, these beams being of strength sufficient to resist either pressure or strain, and so to prevent the vessel from doubling up or being torn asunder. In this way, from the lateral fastenings going round, and the floor and deck fastenings traversing them, the frame of the vessel would be a perfect spheroid in bearings. It could neither be hogged nor indented at the keel, nor broken across, nor dismembered by any strength of wave. It might be poised on a rock or between rocks, raised up and dashed down by the waves, but it could not be disintegrated. V " Tota in ses e teres hebes, atque rotunda," its sides might be pierced, but they could not be stove in ; it might be battered in any direc tion, but not broken asunder; and this is what is wanted; and while this woald protect upon rocks, or on the shore, water-tight compartments (then no more to be torn asunder) would prevent its sinking at sea ; an oblong basket, trussed round, and over and under, will give a distinct idea to any one de sirous of understanding me of the bearings I would introduce in vessels; and they could in no way in terfere with the sailing qualities of vessels impelled by steam. I need not say that stupendous things have been done in vessels, but many great things have been done in many arts, and yet without entire regard to science ; and the building of vessels in iron is at least working in a new material, and it is possible in a material requiring changes in the mode of using it. At least, we have seen in two very painful in stances that, as hitherto used, it disappoints ex pectation in the matter of tenacity in circumstances of great strain. I have shown that iron vessels as hitherto constructed may be expected to double up, or break asunder ; and also, as far as I can, how both may be obviated ; and if experience and un prejudiced shipbuilders or men of science shall come to the conclusion that I am right, then Go vernment should see that uo more iron vessels shall be sent to sea without the safeguard of powerful longitudinal bearings and fastenings. This is not a discussion for a newspaper; but life is not long enough to move official men in this country ; I am unable_ to correspond with ship. builders ; let this have its chance therefore through your columns, for the sake of humanity.—l am, sir, your very obedient servant, D. BAIN. Downe's-wharf, London, Nov. 18. STEAM VESSELS FOR THE GANGES. The first of two steamers, intended for the navi gation of the Ganges, is now ready for launching from Messrs. Reid and Co.'s shipb u ildi ng y ar d at Port Glasgow, and is immediately to be towed round to Liverpool to receive her engines, which have been constructed by Messrs. Fawcett and Preston, the eminent engineers, _ These steimers, which are the property of the Oriental Inland Steam Company of London, are of light draught, and are intended to tow barges which will collec tively carry a very large cargo with a draught of water not exceeding two feet, and with this immer sion they will be able to navigate the Ganges during the driest season. The nominal power is 250 horses, but the engines are expected to work up to 1,000 horses. These vessels are remarkable for their strength and lightness. They are effec tually trussed beneath the decks by a framework of angle iron, and above deck by wrought iron tubes, whereby suck. longittilinal strength is imparted that the vessel eminot be damaged, ihoulil she get-' aground,- - a circumstance of fre quent occurrence in all vessels navigating the Ganges or other rivers of the East. The barges belonging to this steamer have already been built by Messrs. Reid, and were shipped to Calcutta about two months ago. The steamer now to-be launched, it is proposed, shall sail to Calcutta round the Cape. She will thus 'be ready to commence plying on the river immediately on her arrival, arinst which time the barges already sent out will, it is expected, have been erected and got ready for work. The second steamer, which is also advanced far towards completion, will be tried on the Clyde with her barges attached before being despatched to India. When it is stated that each of these barges will carry about 600 tons measurement of cargo, and that it is expected that each steamer will tow five barges, it is easy to see what an enormous cargo these vessels will be able to convey. There are no vessels now in India of anything near the same ton nage or power. It may be fairly expected, there fore, that these vessels will be at least as successful as those already plying on the Ganges. What that success is will best appear by a reference to the dividends which the existing Ganges Companies have been paying for some years, which have risen by degrees to 40, 50, 60, 70, and, as appears by the last mail from Calcutta, to 80 per cent. per annum. These vessels will be immediately on the spot, and will be prepared to reap their proportion of the rich harvest which is to be there gathered.— Greenock Advertiser. ,THE AMERICAN MINISTER AND THE CHINESE OFFICIALS. A correspondent of the 'Journal of Commerce, writing on board the United States' ship Powhat tan under date of the 15th of July, gives the fol lowing account of Mr. Ward's interview with the Governor-General of one of the Chinese provinces : " The conference was now opened, being sustained entirely on the one side, and mainly by the Gover nor-General on the other, the second red-button mandarin only occasionally joining it. The Gover nor-General was neatly but plainly dressed, easy, gentle, and polite in his bearing, and, however earnestly speaking, using but little gesticulation. His age is 52. He is moderate in stature and size, aid altogether, mentally, physically, and in manners, in a good degree of harmony with European ideas. Different in all respects was his associate, a stout, gross-built man, and his face indicative also of grossness of mind, cheerful and even laughing, and considerably boisterous in conversation, which he enlivened and enforced by the use of much gesticu lation. From his appearance he might be judged to be about 40 years old. As soon as they were ooatod in the room the Governor-General asked the Mini ster what had brought him to the north. He re plied that he was on his way to Pekin, there to ex change the ratifications of the tre*y. The Gover nor-General asked if he had heard of the battle which had recently taken place with the English. The Minister replied, Yes. The Governor-Gene ral then asked if the English had not acted very hastily and improperly. The Minister replied These difficulties must be settled by themselves. He was pursuing the course marked out by the American treaty, that he hoped and believed the Chinese Government would abide by the stipula tions of the treaty, and furnish him with the means of going to Pekin. The Governor-General replied that the treaty was to be exchanged at Pekin, but that the Minister could not go until the arrival of the Commissioners from Shanghai who had been appointed by his Majesty to conduct him there. Our Minister said that it was a matter to him per sonally of no importance where he remained, but it was not respectful to the nation he represented to keep him more than a month off the coast awaiting the arrival of the commissioners, and that he should so report it to his Government. The Governor-Ge neral asked at what point he would prefer remain ing until the arrival of the commissioners. Our Mi nister replied, In Pekin, or on beard his own fri gate.' The Governor-General thei? proposed that if neither of the commissioners arrived within ten days of that time our. Minister should' then proceed to Pekin, and there await the arrival of the commis sioners from Shanghai. T. this our Minister as sented, and subsequently all preparations - were made for Mr. Ward and his party by the Governor General. The hall soon became so crowded with ofi sight, and s ranks , tohear, even if they could all desirous to see not understand, all of them st an din g through the whole session, that they obst r u c t e d the circu lation of the air, and made the heat oppressive. tl i e an s d tr a a ri n n g s e s It was estimated that about 50 of these officials were present in this contracted room. It seems to be a privilege among the Chinese to attend upon such occasions, showing there is a democratic ele ment even under this despotic Government; and it is said to be extensively diffused, and sometimes quite rigorous, the people of a neighbourhood or district.even posting printed notices and calls for cropmeaegtialnsgsi' to • get up p e ti t i ons an d remon strances the wrongs they may be suffering from the Mandarins. Reference was made in the conversation to the recent action at the mouth of the Peiho, when it was remarked by the Governor- General that the hasty and rash conduct of the English had produced all the mischief, attempting to show that the Chinese officials had been highly forbearing and entirely unexceptionable. It was evident that his Excellency and others were quite uneasy in contemplation of the past and the future, and were even alarmed by their victory. This was especially evident when the Governor inquired about the English fleet, and was told that both the French and English Ministers lead left the Gulf of Pet cheelee and gone down to Shanghai. Obviously they desired to conciliate the good opinion of Mr. Ward and the Commodore, and secure their inter position and kind offices, though they did not avow this. Some notice of the Chinese military, as they appeared on this occasion, may not be out of place. The troops through which the cavalcade passed seemed to be.of two kinds. Those on th e right of their line, which rested on the hall of conference, were dressed in a uniform which, from its uni formity in wear and tear, seemed to have but recently come into use, consisting of a short blue cotton blouse, with lappels and cuffs of Ted, while a sort of medallion in Chinese characters was worked in white on the breast. Most of thin were armed with spears, the staff unpainted, land apparently new. The heads were of iron, and quite rusty. The men were far from uniform in size, with smooth faces, indicative of occupation within doors rather than out, and having the appearance of a militia hastily collected from the neighbouring villages and towns. The rest, comprising two-thirds of the whole force, not eveeding 500 in number, were uncommonly stout, sunburpt, and hardy looking fellows. They were stern and steady in de meanour, having the air of regular troops, though without pretensions to European drill. Four-fifths were armed with matchlock muskets and swords, and the remainder with bows. The archers seemed to have been selected for stature and strength. They were not in uniform, except that nearly all wore black leather boots, reaching up to the lower part of the calf of the leg. They also wore caps with broad black brims, which were turned up all round, so as to rise above and conceal the top of the cap, a circumstance which led some of the English soldiers, who got close up to the forts when the attempt was made to storm them, to think that they wore their black hair plaited, and standing straight up from their heads. Perhaps these troops were Mongol Tartars. The conference, which lasted about two hours, ended with:the:usual ceremony of chin-chinning, or leave taking, when the Minister, Commodore, and their attendants, crowded anal squeezed again into their moving dens, and the cavalcade returned to the jetty and junks with all the ceremonies already described. In passing d own the river to rejoin the Toeywan the party i vzis saluted by a body of cavalry drawn up on the itft bank oppo2ite the Toeywan. They were mour_t e d on small horses, but were too distant for clu e in spection and intelligent comment."—New York Times. TILE REV. THOMAS DALE AND THE PARISH OF ST. PANCRAS. --4.-- The Rev. Thomas Dale having announced his in tention of resigning the office of vicar of St. Pan cras, an address from the clergy of the parish has been addressed to him. On receiving the address, the Rev, T. Dale made the following reply : " Reverend and dear Brethren,—lt is with the utmost gratification that I receive this assurance of your regard and esteem, proceeding as it does from so many of those with Whom I have been associated in the pastoral charge of the vast parish of St. Pancras, and without whoso co-operation I could never have accomplished the objects of which you have been pleased to speak in terms of such high and unmerited commendation. I accept, also, with unfeigned and lively gratitude the united expression of your wish that I should continue to reside among you as vicar of St. Pancras under altered circumstances, and no longer encum bered and oppressed by those parochial responsibi lities which have hitherto, under the provisions of the local acts, constituted an integral and insepa rable portion of the office. I would it were possible for me thus to act. Not a few are there among the brethren of the clergy, as there are many among the members of my congregation, to whom I could fitly address the words of the Apostle Pftul, Ye are in our hearts to die and live with you.' But with the request so kindly intended, and so cordially expressed, it is now altogether out of my power to comply—first, because the arrangements connected with my proposed retirement have advanced too far to admit of honourable retraction; and secondly, but chiefly, because by adhering to my original in tention of relinquishing for the future all personal interest in St. Pancras, I may hope to carry out more effectually that great principle of parochial sub-division which I publicly avowed at the com mencement of my incumbency, which I have kept , steadily in view throughout the 13 years of its con tinuance, and for which I have cheerfully sacrificed a large portion of my income and a still larger measure of my peace. I need hardly remind you, my dear brethren, that the ecclesiastical anomalies of St. Pancras, with which many of you are so painfully conversant, arise chiefly from imperfect and ill-considered legislation. The local acts by which the ecclesiastical affairs of the parish have been administered for the last 30 years were pur posely so constructed as to concentrate all spiritual responsibilities on the person:of a single incumbent, and to place all the other parochial clergy in the relation to him of subordinates or stipendiaries. I t has been affirmed by a high legal authority, that, `the stateof the law under those acts formed an in superable obstacle to the providing properly for the cure of souls.' Much has indeed been done at various times by the introduction of clauses into the several Church Building Acts, and more especially by the 19 and 20 Vic., c. 104, commonly called the New Parishes Act, to mitigate the pressure of the local acts, but no authority except that which legalised the evil can avail to provide the only adequate and effectual remedy. It is therefore the opinion both of our diocesan and of the friend who is most deebly interested in the question, that appli cation should be made to the Legislature in order to a fair and equitable settlement, and that it might possibly be expedient to defer the legal avoidance of the living until a bill for that purpose can be carried through the House of Lords. The bishop has expressed himself willing to undertake the charge of such a bill, if he can be satisfied that in so doing he represents the opinions and the principles of the great body of churchmen in the parish. It ought certainly to be made known (and in no way can this be more effectually done by tho introduction of such a bill into Parliament) that while the existing acts continue in force, future vicars of St. Pancras will, like myself, derive no emolument whatever from the surplus pew-rents of the parish church, amounting after the payment of all expenses to £6OO per annum, while yet a large portion of the fees and offerings which now con stitute almost the sole emolument of the living will pass, as in all fairness they ought, to the incumbent of the new parishes. I will not, however, on an occasion such as this, enter further into the details of this complicated but most important question. I will only add, in reference to it, that my present eafrlformaom Pancras will follow as soon after and final nfidperformingnaaflt after eJanuarystheigna resignation dutiesoni ,1860,f thoef tiiaihnucedi incumbency s ibia. o ietsi i h) s tchyc t e o houf c f or e sci a . th. in s that date as the bishop shall think fitting to receive it. On one account, my dear brethren, I may well claim your sympathy. Many of you will readily judge from your own feelings what mine must be on the severance of the tie that binds me to the congregation of the parish church. From that congregation, needing nothing for itself, I have received larger contributions to the great cause of church extension than from the entire residue of the whole parish of St. Pancras, while my personal intercourse with its members has ever been marked with a degree of regard and affection on their part, of which I now feel myself utterly undeserving, more especially when I consider how often, from a mistaken sense of duty, I have sacrificed the inte rests of the congregation to what I then accounted the interests of the parish, occupying in parochial controversies and unprofitable discussions hours which might have been far better emploped in pas toral visitation and kindly social intercourse. Gladly, if it were possible, would I continue with my own beloved flock, it only to repair this error; but it must not be. The interest of the church de mand from me this last sacrifice ; the interest of the parish—at least of the poor—demand it; the just claims of the clergy:to complete parochial indepen dence demand it; and, cost me what it may, it shall be made. But great as the sacrifice is, it will be abundantly repaid if, leaving in 1860 twenty parishes, complete or prospective, where in 1846 I found but one, I shall hear that you, my dear brethren, having become each the centre of his own parochial charge, shall be as happy in your flocks as have been in mine ; and still more, if you, by united action, shall effect what I, single-handed, have einly striven to accomplish, the concentration of the "energies of this vast parish in the further ance of the kingdom of Christ. " Entreating an interest in your prayers, and as suring you of remembrance in my own, lam ever, reverend and dear brethren, your faithful and affec tionate friend and brother, (Signed) "THOMAS DALE." THE LATE MR. ROBERT STEPHENSON. A public meeting of the leading inhabitants of Newcastle-upon-Tyne and the neighbouring coun ties of Durham and Northumberland, was held on Saturday afternoon to take into consideration the best mode of testifying their respect for the memory of the late Mr. R. Stephenson. The meeting first assembled in the Council Chamber, but it being too small, the assembly adjourned to the new Town hall. The chair was occupied by Lord Ravensworth, and among the gentlemen present were the Mayor of Newcastle and a number of the aldermen and council ; Mr. G. Ridley, M.P., Mr. Taylor, the chairman of the coal trade ; Mr. Nicholas Wood, of Hetton ; Mr. M. Bell, M. I. L. Bell, Mr. T. E. Ha r rison, C.E., Mr. Bourne, C.E., the Hon. 11. G. Lid dell, M.P., Mr. John Clayton, the Mayor of Tyne mouth, Dr. Bruce, Mr. Joseph Cowen, chairman of the Tyne Commissioners, Dr. Grecnhow, Mr. Haw thorn, Mr. Kell, and Mr. Haswell—nearly all of whom were personal friends of the deceased engi neer. A considerable number of respectable work ing men employed at Messrs. R. Stephen on and Co.'s engine factory were in the body of - the hall. Letters were read from the Duke of Northumber land, Mr. Ingham, M.P., and Mr. Hu,.,0•11 Taylor, M.P., regretting their inability to attend, but cor dially approving of the objects of the meeting. The noble chairman opened the proceedings by passing in review the leading circumstances in the life of the great engineer, and in the life of his eminent father, George Stephenson. Mr. George Ridley moved a resolution to the effect that the best mode of testifying respect to the memory of the late Mr. Robert Stephenson would be to ere c t a monument to him in Newcastle. The resolution was seconded by the Hon. IL G. Liddell, M.P., and was carried unanimously. It was also agreed that such monu ment should partly consist of a statue of the late Mr. Robert Stephenson, and, that in addition to the monument, a portion of the funds subscribed should be devoted t o e d uca ti ona l purposes. A com mittee was appointed to carry the resolutions into effect. A very great deal of interest appears to prevail in the public mind with reference to what is likely to be the ultimate fate of this prisoner, and the sentencg, that is likely to be passed in the event of his being convicted of the offence of birsamy for whi c h h e stands committed to take hisc'trial,, at the ensuing session of the Central Criminal Court. It may be as well to state that the punishment for this offence has been very much changed by recent alterations that have been made in the law ; but it is looked upon as an offence of such a peculiar class, and one which varies so greatly in its circumstances, that a very large discretion is vested in the Court before which a prisoner may be tried as to the punishment. Before the abolition of the punish ment of transportation, a prisoner convicted of bigamy was liable to be transported for seven years, or to be imprisoned, with or without hard labour, at the discretion of the Court for "any period" not exceeding two years. When the punishment of transportation was abolished, the statute substituted the maximum period of four years' penal servitude in lieu of the extreme sentence of transportation, and continued the same power as to imprisonment. But this was again altered by a statute passed in the 20th and 21st of the reign of her present Ma jesty, which gives the Court power to order a pri soner convicted of the offence of bigamy to be kept in penal servitude for any period not exceeding seven nor less than three years, or imprisonment not exceeding two years, and either with or without hard labour, as the Court shall think fit. It is scarcely necessary to inform • the public that the first wife can be no party, at least so far as giving evidence, to the prosecution, the law not permitting a wife to give evidence either in favour or against her husband except in cases of personal injury, and it is obvious that the person really injured by the act, is the second wife, or rather the woman with whom the illegal marriage is performed, and in all such cases the punishment awarded to the prisoner depends a great deal whether any deception or fraud has been practised upon the second wife, and where there is no evidence of this the sentence gene rally passed rarely exceeds four, or, at the most, six months' imprisonment. In such a case as that of Dr. Smethurst therefore, where the first marriage took place 30 years before, and with a woman nearly as many years older than himself, and where the se cond wife was perfectly aware that he was a married man at the time she went through the cere mony, or, at all events, might very easily have made inquiries and satisfied herself upon the subject if she had been minded to do so, and when there did not appear to be any suspicion of fraud or misrepre sentation, according to the usual practice of the Court a very light sentence would have been in flicted, probably not more than throe months' im prisonment. The prisoner has now been more then six months in prison, which is certainly a heavier punishment than would have been passed upon him if he had been originally tried and ronvicted for bigamy; and it is difficult to taiderstand what course can be taken by the Court under the peculiar circumstances of the case, in case of a conviction. The prisoner himself complains very much of the course that has been taken in keeping him so long in suspense, and also that, having been declared in- noceni of the crime of wilful - ruurder, he should • now be prosecuted for the minor offence of bigamy. He is still, of course, in custody, but it is understood that an application will shortly be made to one of the learned judges to admit him to bail, and it is very probable that the application will be granted, it being quite a usual course for parties charged with this description of offence to be admitted to bail, especially where there are no circumstances of aggravation. If the prisoner should, by a failure of evidence or any technicality, obtain an acquittal, it is not at all unlikely that he will make a claim upon the Goveyrnment for compensation for the pain and suffering he has undergone, but it is not probable that suc a claim will be attended with any success. Mr. Sleigh has been retained to conduct the defence, . . but it is expected that a learned counsel will be spe cially retained to lead him on behalf of the prisoner. THE RELIGIOUS DISSENSIONS IN ST. GEORGE'S-IN-TILE-EAST. o Ycaterdny there was a renewal of the riots in the parish church of St. George's-in-the-East, and one gentleman is at present in cusfody of the police, living been charged for an offenc,e_against the 2.d of William and Mary, for wilfUllf disturbing the congregation. He would be mild/ upon to answer the charge at the Thames Police-court this morning. At the 11 o'clock service yesterday morning the congregation was larger than on any previous occa sion. From an early hour cabs brought down visitors from the west end of London, and it was plainly ap parent that not a tenth part of those who attended were parishioners. Just as the organ commenced the " Voluntary," and while the priests and choristers were entering in procession, a well-dressed person near the altar declaimed in a very excited state, " I demand those seats for the choristers, in the name of the Secretary of State, and I appeal to the churchwardens to clear them." It may be men tioned that the choristers' seats were at this time occupied by persons who had been passed privately into the church before the doors were thrown open, I and that they were reserving them for the choris ters. Mr. Churchwarden Thompson, hearing the disturbance, immediately repaired to the place from which the noise proceeded, and the gentleman in question addressed him in a loud and imperious tone of voice, saying, " Mr. Churchwarden, in the name of the Secretary of State, I demand that you clear those seats." He exhibited great violence of manner, which the police failed to moderate. Find ing all remonstrance useless, Mr. Churchwarden Thomson gave the offending gentleman into the custody of Police-constable 7.2 K, who conducted him to the station-house in King David-lane. He there gave his name as Mr. William Cornwallis, and his residence at Calais. Ile declined to dis close the nature of his profession or occupation. He sent, however, for bail to a gallant colonel re siding in Westbourne-terrace, Paddington, but at the close of the evening service he had not been liberated from durance vile. He stands charged with " willingly and of purpose disquieting and disturbing the congregation assembled in the parish church of St. Georgo's-m-the-East during the morn ing service." From the excited manner of the ac cused, it was feared that he was labouring under some mental aberration, and this was also the im pression at the police-station where he was charged. It appears that the rector's party, availing them selves of an early entrance into the church, had filled the choristers' seats with friends of their own, most of whom were strangers in the parish, and thus those who intended to exclude the choristers, as they did on the pre'sioas Sunday. were defeated in their intentions. The body of persons thus introduced joined in the choral service with great spirit, and instead of the choir being over whelmed, as had been the case on previous Sun days, they had for this occasion much the best of it, and the malcontents were unable to offer any formidable opposition. Taking the morning ser vice as a whole, it was much more orderly than it has been for many weeks past. There was an im posing array of police, ten or a dozen being located in Cannon-street, seven or eight on the steps of the church, while a large number were scattered in all parts of the sacred edifice. Their presence had the effect of exasperating rather than of intimidating the people, and for all practical purposes it is evi dent that they would be far more effective if they were stationed in some adjacent place, from which they might be called in the event of their services being required. This, however, is a matter which rests neither with the superintendent of police nor with the Chamberlain, but with the Home Secre tary. The Rev. A. 11. Machonochie was the officiating minister, and there were but few signs of disappro bation until he stood at the altar with his back to the congregation. This elicited some hissing and continuous coughing. On ascending the pulpit he did not tarn to the altar in the invocation of the Trinity, and thus escaped the hissing and yelling which have hitherto been the accompaniments of this part of the ceremony. He selected for his text the 16th verse of the 33d chapter of the Book of the Prophet Jeremiah. "This is the name where with he shall be called the Lord our right eousness. " The congregation listened to the preliminary por tions of the sermon with much apparent interest, but soon there was walking up and down, slamming of pew doors, and lounging over pews, giving the place a theatrical rather than an ecclesiastical aspect. The churchwardens, chief constable (Mr. Herbert), and the beadle moved about, particularly near the altar, where, if anywhere, violence was appre hended. The sermon was st plain, practical dis course, containing nothing which was calculated to provoke any outbreak of feeling. At its close Mr. Machonochie turned his bock upon the people while he said the concluding prayer, which gave rise to much hissing and confusion. The offertory was a complete mockery. Not more than a score of persons contributed. When the bags were presented to them most of the people shook their heads, while others smiled and seemed to view it as a jOkr,<articularly a large numbe "gents" in peg-tops who were conspicu sent. In the afternoon at the rector's sere Litany) the mob prevented the priests and chi tors from taking their accustomed places before the altar, and the service was performed from the choristers' seats with the usual amount of confu sion. Long b e f ore half-past six o'clock, the time appointed for o p en i ng the doors for the evening service, there was an immense concourse of persons in Cannon-street, and the rush for admission was terrific. Women and children shrie,ked, men were knocked down, and, had it not been for the praise worthy exei t ions of the police, serious results might have followed. In a few minutes the spacious church was densely packed, and standing-room was scarcely to be had. When the priests and choristers entered, and the service commenced, it was clear that measures had been taken to drown the voices of the dissentients. This was a perfect success. There were three priests, and an increase in the number of surpliced choristers, while gentlemen, evidently well practised in the choral service, were stationed in various parts of the church. The prayers were said, with little interruption, by the Rev. C. F. Lowder, M.A., but when he gave out hymns the people hissed and coughed. The sermon was preached by the Rev. Edward Stuart, M.A.,. incumbent of St. Mary Magdalene, Munstcr-street, Regent's Park, from the words of the Epistle of St. John, " God is love." In spite of a somewhat unattractive style of oratory, the rev. gentleman managed to get through his sermon without much interruption. Indeed, it was only on turning his back upon the congregation at the final prayer that he was hissed at all. At the close Of - this service, the last of the day, hundreds of persons assembled in Cannon-street, and discussed the ecclesiastical state of the parish, but the clergy and choristers managed to get away without being insulted. It was announced some time since that the third annual commemoration of the foundation of the mission chapel in Calvert -street would be celebrated on Thursday next, the 24th instant, and that the Dean of A.V4stininster would preach. At the ear nest request of the Bishop of Landon that service will be dispensed with. SUPPRESSION OF TILE SUNDAY FAIR AT SOMERS-TOWN. Yesterday the authorities of St. Pancras, aided by a powerful body of police, took the initiative with a view to the abolition of one of the most dis graceful blots that ever existed in the metropolis, known as the Somers-town Sunday Market, or more properly speaking, Sunday Fair. The flagrant and open Sunday trading in this district has for years been felt as a thorough disgrace to the parish. But all the efforts of the clergy, with the Rev. Thomas Dale, the vicar, at their head, those of the local authorities, or the police have been unavailing, hitherto, to effect a remedy, and the suppression of the Sunday traffic in Petticoat-lane and Rag Fair tended to augment the evil by transferring the Jew vendors of herbs, lollypops, jewellery, sweetmeats, cigars, and even quack medicines, as well as White chapel birdcatchers, to thislocality. Theneighbour hood comprised in the market extended from the Great Northern. Railway terminus on the east to Chalton-street, Euston-road, on the west, a distance of nearly half a mile, and included the following thoroughfares, viz.,' Weston-street, Skinner street, Brewer-street, the large space fronting the Brill, Brill-row, Chapel-street, and the various streets abutting thereon. No respect whatever was paid to the hours of Divine service. Not only do the mass of the shopkeepers to their utter disgrace, continuo to vend their wares during those hours, but there were to be seen stalls for shooting at targets for nuts, machines for trying the strength, testing the power of the lungs, itinerant vendors of live fowls, guinea pigs, cheap jacks, medical practitioners (who exhibited diagrams of the lungs and in testines, tapeworms, warts, and corns whi c h their nostrums had cured and extracted), a dentist who either drew or stopped decayed teeth in the public thoroughfare, a Polish Jew who sold Turkish rhubarb made of dahlia bulbs coloured with saffron, cheap crockery salesmen, stinking fish mongers, costermongers, and even unlicensed dealers in game, and showmen. After repeated represen tations to the police authorities and even the Government, the local authorities, acting on legal advice and with the promised aid of the police, de termined on seeing if they could not put a stop to those disgraceful and disgusting proceedings, and as a preliminary step the follo wing no ii ce had been posted and distributed throughout the locality for some weeks :-- " St. Pancras, Middlesex.--Notice is hereby given, that on and after Sunday, the 20th day of November next, all barrows, trucks, and stalls found in the streets and other public ways of Somers town, will be seized, and all other obstructions to the carriage-ways and foot-ways will be removed, and all Pen_ aities authorised by law wilthe enforced. liy order ofthe vestry. WM. BOOTH SCOTT, chia surveyor.--Pepartment of Works, Oct. 27." In accordance witl► this notice, and with a deter mination to enforce the orders of the vestry, nearly kixty of the parochial ofDeers, all sworn constables, together with a large body of the S division of police, under the orders of Inspectors Stokes and Fraser, and also a detachment of the reserve force of the A division, took possession of the ground shortly before seven o'clock yesterday morning. The arrangements, carried out under the direction of Mr. Scott, the chief surveyor, aided by the police, were of the most excellent and praiseworthy, as well as effective character. The local constables were stationed at the entrance of every avenue, and as the costermongere arrived with their barrows or stalls, they were each served with a copy of the printed notice, and called upon to read it, and when they were unable to do so, it was read over to them, and they were warned that the moment they pitched their stall or barrow it would be seized and conveyed to the station•house. This plan of taking the enemy in detail had the effect of pre venting any settling down or disturbance, as would no doubt have been the case had the police and authorities allowed the various vendors to have taken up their positions in the first instance. Other bodies of officers passed through the line of the market and warned the various shopkeepers that no articles would be permitted to be exhibited on shop boards projecting over the pavement. _ _ _ As the Morning advanced the locality was visited by thousands of persons, chiefly of the lower orders, and it is believed more out of curiosity than any thing else; a general belief prevailing that the pro ceeding would lead to resistance on the part of the costermongers and others who had previously en joyed that which they considered a privilege to desecrate the Sabbath. In this, however, they were disappointed. Bodies of police and the local officers patrolled from end to end, and the vendors of kippered her rings, skinned rabbits, stationers, linendrapers, and hosiers, and even the Turkey rhubarb vendor and the quack doctors were kept in constant motion, and showmen began speedily to find " Othello's occupation gone." The local costermongers and stall-keepers, to their credit, at once bowed to the exercise of the authority of the law ; not so many of the shopkeepers, and it is gratifying to find that the authorities are deter mined to deal with them as they deserve. A beer-shop keeper at the corner of Middlesex street, who combines with that trade a rag and crockery shop, insisted in covering the pavement in front of his premises with his wares ; whilst in other cases shopkeepers let their doors and passages to Jew vendors of "jewellery," and bird fanciers. The names of several of the principal alders and abettors in setting the law at defiance were taken down, and its violators are to be summoned at once before the magistrate at Clorkenwell Police-court, who, it is hoped, will mete out to them their fall me?d of punishment. Even on this the first day of the experiment of removing the stalls, it was admitted by the shop keepers that their takings had fallen off nearly 60 per cent. The local authorities and the police have therefore only to persevere for a few weeks, and on every occasion that a stall appears, or a tradesman encroaches on the public thoroughfare, to seize his goods and the Sunday trade will soon so diminish as to not make it worth while to keep open the shops, and this great scandal to the district will be effectually removed. So effectively were the proceedings carried out, that notwithstanding the thousands of people as sembled, there was no instance of a person being taken into custody. RECTORSHIP OF EDINBURGH UNIVERSITY.—The following letter has been received from Mr. Gladstone, in reply to the telegram announcing his election to the office of Rector of Edinburgh University :—" Deanery, Windsor, Nov. had the honour to receive on Saturday your telegram which announced the result of the election for the Rectorship of the University of Edinburgh. Permit me to express to you my strong sense of the honour which the students of the University have conferred upon me in this exercise of the power which Parliament has placed in their hands. I could have wished that they had selected a man less absorbed by the number and weight of the claims upon his time, and I am also sensible of the disadvantages under which I lie from the want of experimental acquaint ance with the Universities of Scotland, but I am conscious of an honest desire to servo them, and I do not think it will be found that my connexion with and my love for Oxford inspire me with any eager or indiscri m i n ate solic itude to press her as a model upon other institutions differing more or less in circumstances 'and objects. At the same tinr, they make me desirous to see other unive rsities flou ri sh in eve] y kind of honourable exertion, for th is, even if it were for no other reason, that there is among us unwraught ma t irial amply suffic'ent to supply them all, and tl • efforts and success of each one will act as a powerful incentive and a real assistance to every other.—l have the honour to be, sir, your voi y faithful servant, W.
