LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 8, 1862. The Thames Embankment Bill could not well have passed more quietly than it did last evening through committee. The Chief Commissioner occasionally evidenced, it is true, by the momentary petulance which gleamed every now and then at momentary intervals through his ordinarily subdued and always eminently gentlemanly air of non chalance, the extent to which his feeling had been wounded during the previous discussions. Other wise than in some such casual way the stream of small talk about this clause and that, flowed on in the most equable manner imaginable. Mr. MAs- SET'S voice was continually calling out the number of clause after clause that met with no opposition whatever —passing each in turn sub Baena° and within a beat or two of the House clock's pendulum. As the rare excep ti on i n d ee d a c lause was here and there, according to announcementc,loapupseose3, ford4bya more or less serious amendment. example, Lord Jomi . MANNERS suggested in the course of a very courteous but caustic speech, should be omitted altogether. The noble lord asked the Committee coolly to allow it to fall through: being supported in this suggestion by Lord FERMOY. It will be observed that the clause in question is simply one designed to secure if pos sible to the general effect of the buildings des tined to skirt the borders of the Thames Embank ment, something having the semblance of " uni formity of design and consistency of purpose." Lord JOHN MANNERS, regarding the whole project with a somewhat jealous eye, deems that clause 34 will only bestow upon the Chief Commissioner the power of exercising a most vexatious inter , ferenee. He warned the committee from allowing another £12,000 or £13,000 to be drained use lessly from the public purse for the luxury of all the wrangling, controversy, and litigation likely to result from the vague efforts that may yet be made to harmonise the popular ideas, or the Minister's notions of what really is or is not " architectural ornamentation. " Mr. KER SEYMER had something to say upon this matter in_defenee of the Chief Commissioner; Sir J. SHELLEY, going something quite upon the oppo site tack. Lord H. CECIL, as somehow appeared to become him, delivered a slashing speech, that, although it was in a great measure dead against Mr. KER SEYMER, appeared to amuse no one more thoroughly than the hon. gentleman the member for Dorsetshire. According to Lord ROBERT, the pro posal contained in the obnoxious clause (34) amounted to this—that the citizens of London should pay the money (through the coal dues or the wine dues, or what not, it mattered little which, but, at any rate, that they would pay the money out of one pocket or the other) and that meanwhile the Chief Commissioner should spend it! To the which proposition, as a matter of course, the noble lord the member for Stamford had the strongest possible objection. In responding good-humouredly to the hot remarks relating to himself as Chief Commissioner, Mr. COWPER—as a happy contrast enough in its way to what he sarcas tically called the noble lord's eloquent appeal on behalf of economy—gave a brief but vivid and pic turesque description of the nature and the probable aspect of this grand projected scheme of the Thamea Embankment. This embankment, said the Minis ter, would be a hundred feet wide. It would be one of the grandest and most majestic features of our metropolis. On one side of it, he observed, with a boastful manner that would have been in the highest degree entertaining to an Americ©n fresh from the banks of the mighty Mississippi —on one side of it there would be the river which was the pride of England. Even some of the more "tra velled" members of the Committee could not resist a momentary laugh at this—whereat Mr. COWPER (interrupting himself to glance across at the laughers) interjected, in a serio-comic tone of ex postulation, " At any rate, we all know it, and are proud of it as Father Thames !" Well—boastfully viewed or not—there, on one side of the 100 feet wide embankment, will flow the waters, no longer the foul and pestilential, but the purified and pellucid waters of the Thames. On the other there will be ornamental grounds—such as, let us say, the garden at the back of Montagu House, and all the rest of those pleasant lounging places, the grass plots and shrubberies partitioned off at Whitehall gardens, the verdant and flowery haunts of his Grace the Duke of RUCCLEUCH and of such immediate neighbours of the Duke as the right honourable gentlemen the member for Stroud! Together with these pleasure grounds there will be other portions of the route along which will be raised rows and terraces of houses— that Mr. COWPER argues (and with reason) it will surely be most desirable to have in some degree at least harmonised with one another so as to produce a general effect instead of being aban- doned carelessly to the caprices of the taste (often times eccentric) of separate individuals. "Any one," Mr. Cownit observed last night, and with k literal truth in bis words that defy contradiction, It Anyon e who c ompare d L ondon w i th more splen did continental capitals would see that one of its great defects Was that most of the streets, and espe cially all th e eiae systematic ph m, 1314 r ones, were not built upon any evnera Nve f re left to the individual caprices osfawthea very house houses. They t a i l perhaps two very small ones, a stu cco -a- standing between brick ones, and other irregularities house between two which destroyed the architectural effect of the whole thorough fare." The sketch here given of the aspect of our street arch i t ec ture ie so_ general ".' what e xa gcrated, no doubt. Th e view ta ken is net , g means any means binocular. It is the o ne-side d view .. , ...s We may say, of a one -syed o bserver. But it is fai thfully drawn from the reality. Mr. COWPER might ha ve added to his exceedingly accurate bird's-eye view of the met ro p o li s, th a t this very j umble and hatch J potch of style and more frequently of no style leads occasionally to a result in itself eminently picturesque. It is a lottery, however, at the best, and a lottery too that we should be sorry indeed to see applied in any way to the proposed scheme at he risk of marring the Whole effect of the Thames Embankment. In support of his right hon. ccl league, the Prime Minister argued forcibly in favour of the retention of the clause—which, although en ergetically opposed by Mr. CRAW FORD, Mr. LEWIS, and Sir WILLIAM JOLLIFFE, and although (more formidable still to its success !) preposter- THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY, EVENING ously supported by the noble lord the member for Hastings, with a voice and manner of such sonorous and rhetorical solemnity, that one might have ima gined for a moment that the veto under debate was as serious and momentous a subject of discussion as the Royal Veto of King Louis XVI. at the outbreak of the French Revolution—the clause was declared in favour of upon a division in committee : 145 voting for it, and 162 against it. So that it was retained by the decision of a clear majority of seventeen. The rest of the clauses, with a little wrangling here and there, passed muster pretty fluently. Once, and once only, was the equaminity of the bated Minister in any way seriously dis turbed, and then merely for a few moments by a more than usually galling insinuation blurted out by the hon. member for Devizes. The worst is now, we may rejoice to know, over, in regard to the more serious obstructions raised against this the grandest of all our great metropo litan improvements. Time, money, and labour will hereafter slowly perfect above-ground the subterranean works now rapidly advancing towards their completion ! Perfect these works, that is to say, by adding to the useful and salubri ous Main Drainage scheme the useful and magni ficent scheme of a Thames Embankment. Lord PALMERSTON got quite in a passion with the member for Rochdale last night, and we do not much wonder at it. He began, as excited people are very apt to do, by telling the House of the , t quietness" of his mind under Mr. COBDEN'S " ac cusations." But the excitement of our veteran Pre mier soon began to show itself by his declaring him self ‘` proud" of the attacks of the hon. member. By his informing him, as Lord RUSSELL did Mr. BRIGHT years ago, that he " went beyond his last" when he discussed the question of the defences of the country—that he was a commercial sage, but a naval and military ignoramus —a " dangerous ad viser"—" blind and infatuated," and so forth, after which the noble lord cooled down sufficiently to repeat his usual arguments, though still working them at a pretty high temperature, if not at a white heat. The truth is that though our Premier is, in the main, right enough, he and Mr. COBDEN are two old antagonists. They are both men of extraor dinary geniality and good temper, and yet they cannot help getting a little hot with each other; the real aim of both is the same. Mr. COBDEN has the advantage generally in the appeal to facts, and the understanding; Lord PALMERSTON in the appeal to popular feeling and sentiment. As the latter is the one to gain votes, the lord is generally successful ; but as facts and reasoning based on them, cannot be denied, the commoner comes in afterwards, and too frequently " takes the shine" out of the Premier's success. This is very provoking. The argument—"l can show that Lord PALMERSTON has already duped you, therefore beware of being duped now," is above all annoying, and it was the argument of this kind which drove our Premier last night to mingle so much personal vituperation with his statements. The country, however, needs both men, and is proud of both. We need them to check each other. COBDEN desires us to be as wealthy as he can make us, and would waste the smallest possible amount of public money on fleets, armies, and forts which he thinks little likely to be wanted, and which is sinking so much capital unproduc. tively. He wants the ten millions a year which Lord PALMERSTON spends in excess, to be in our pockets, or rather fructifying in the processes of trade. Lord PALMERSTON'S policy is directed, nominally, to national security, really to national power. He is not indifferent, of course, to our wealth, indeed, it is an obvious source of power ; but his Lordship was trained in the school which saw England triumphant against the world in arms, and he glories in her displaying now a navy, an army, and fortifications and dockyards which shall proclaim her the mightiest nation in Christendom. The mightiest for aggressive purposes. We apprehend that this is the secret of Lord PALMERSTON'S vulnerability under Mr. COBDEN'S attacks. If he could speak openly—if he could say, give me a ninepenny Income-tax that England may stand at the head of the na tions—that her guns afloat may outnumber in every sea those of all other nations put together Mr, COBDEN'S remarks would fall harmless. They are pointed by Lord PALMERSTON'S aiming at power and arguing only for defence. His demands ob viously far exceed all that can be needed for our home defence in a state of peace. His own best military authorities have shown that they could do quite as well without his forts as with them, per haps better; and his own official reports on the state of the French Navy left him completely aground— that is, so far as anything like urgency for defen sive preparations was concerned. He was left without a case at all for spending any extraordinary amount of money, at a time especially when the national income is so jeopardised by the cotton dif ficulty and its consequences. His lordship evi dently feels all this, and his only defence last night was that of first " abusing the plaintiff's counsel," next dealing in generalities and platitudes about the temptation our wealth would be to other na tions, and about preserving peace by preparing for war. Lord PALMERSTON'S difficulty with the past is much the same as with the present. Mr. COBDEN unanswerably showed that there had been no foun dation whatever for the view which has on such high authority been forced upon us, of the attempt under the Empire to outbuild England in ships. The evidence is conclusive that under Louis PHI LIPPE the French navy was more nearly equal to our own than at any time during the Empire. Neither Lord PALMERSTON nor any one else yen. tured to impugn these statements, but here again his Lordship was fighting with his right hand tied. Could he have explained his own clever scheme-- could he have told the house that knowing well the country would not submit to pay seventy millions a year to enable its Government to speak with authority in Foreign Courts, though it would submit to anything to be safe—that he must therefore alarm the public to obtain what he aimed at under the name of national defence, all would have been clear enough. We do not mean to impute dishonesty to his Lordship. The supremacy of England is an ambition worthy of a statesman ; mayhe honestly believe it to be the proper ambition of England's Government; but in this commercial age, and w ith two or thr ee Popular t r ib unes to f ace, who were on t h e watch to ent down popular taxation, he well knew that the object of his legitimate ambition could not be ob tained, unles s he could reach it by a circuitous route. No n®W fa cts were elicited in th e d e b a t e . M r . Cw3DEN had aivel argument, i n PALMERSTON replied only in least so far as the m a i n rs - in ' t n ia ,T therefore, has been said to his • u wellall th© important ones, in his pamphlet.

Lord NORMANBY again And what now, the I reader will ask ? Is it the virtues of the expelled Dukes Kings, or the suff er i ngs o f un h a ppy Italy h arbitrary, opp ress i ve , an d cru el government of VICTOR Em MANUEL ? The latter under e this time. The South is in a horrible state again, or rather has never been in any other since the pious, intelligent, and amiable son of King BOMBA took up his quarters at Rome. Sixteen thousand persons crowd the prisons, the Italian Minister of Justice does not deny it. Hardly any one votes at the elections; torture is practised in the prisons to extort confessions; Mr. GLADSTONE seems to meddle with Italian affairs, which must be acknowledged to be very unbecoming when we have a paid Foreign Secretary. Could not Lord RUSSELL give him some information to soothe his sorrows for unhappy, ruined Naples ? Our Foreign Secretary, alas, had but little infor mation to give the noble marquis ; and unfortu nately what he had, and what Lord HARROWBY, who has recently been to Italy, had also to give was but small comfort to a lord, whose greatest joy would have been to learn that Italy had gone to the dogs, and that only FRANCIS 11. and his favourite dukes could save it from ruin. On the contrary, the Italians will be contented and pro sperous. They will prefer to forget their provin cial distinctions and to be Italians. If there are cases of torture, of which no one here but Lord NORMANBY knows, the presumption is that the old gaolers have, without knowledge of the Govern ment, resumed Bourbon practices. Even Mr. BISHOP is treated with all consideration, having a room to himself, and only complaining of the delay of his trial, a delay owing to the jury lists not having been made out till the 7th. It was about to commence. So good a witness as Lord HARROWBY assures us that there is improvement moral and material in every direction ; that the idea of Italian unity has been realised in a way no one expected. That as to brigands, only five out of fifteen provinces were troubled, and the brigands were the vilest men—men whom not an officer of even the old Bourbon army would head. The country was, in fact, protected almost entirely by the National Guards, the strongest evidence surely of its perfect content ment with its Government. We must wish that Lord NORMANBY could take a journey to Italy. It would save Lord RUSSELL many interpretations, since Lord HARROWBY assured him that he would "return a devoted friendof the existing Government instead of singing now the last dying song of the Bourbons." One fact must have been truly painful to the melancholy Marquis. Lord RUSSELL confirmed the reports that Russia and Prussia have agreed to recognise the new kingdom; we only fear the Mar quis may have consolation in this sorrow, which be to the friends of Italy a cause of sadness. There is every reason to fear that the two powers have demanded in return Italy shall give up Venetia quietly. If that be so, if any binding, or even moral, obligation be en tered into to sacrifice the last 2,000,000 of Italians in this way, though perhaps a present relief, it will prove a final difficulty. We cannot, however, believe, that RATTAZZI and the KING dare to com promise their position in the eyes of Italians. It is of more consequence to them to sustain the national spirit than to gain the recognition of twenty . Czars and Kings. Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Duchess d'Aumale entertained a select party at dinner last evening at Orleans House. Later in the evening her royal highness had a theatrical performance. His Highness the Prince Maharajah Duleep Singh has arrived at Claridge'sHotel from Mulgrave Castle.

ADELPHI THEATRE.—Last night the celebrated drama, "The Dead Heart," by Mr. Watts Phillips, was revived at this theatre, Mr Benjamin Webster sustaining his original part of Robert Laundry. Mr. Webster was very warmly welcomed on making his appearance by a very full house, and throughout the drama acted with more than his usual excellence. M. TITALBERG'S IVIATINEEs.—The fourth and last took place yesterday, when the Hanover-square Rooms were so crowded that even the orchestra overflowed with visitors, who almost blocked up the staircase by which the grand "virtuoso" made his entry and exit; while people were actually seated on the window-ledges, sooner than be sent away. MONDAY POPULAR CONCERTS. —The"looth Mon day Popular Concert" took place yesterday evening in the presence of the largest audience ever assembled in St. James's-hall. On no occasion—not even during the me morable " Jenny Lind night", at her Majesty's Theatre, 15 years ago--do we remember such an eager invasion at the doors of a public exhibition. It is calculated that little short of 1,000 persons were sent away, for whom it was im• possible to find any sort of accommodation. INTERESTING TO SLEEPERS IN CHURCHES.— The People's Gazette of Berlin has the following curious paragraph :—Many Protestant clergymen in Germany having complained that persons of both sexes are in the habit of sleeping during the sermon, a new plan has been adopted to keep them awake. The beadles, furnished with long wands, keep moving about the church and lightly touch those whom they catch napping. This plan has been already tried with success in the Duchy of Saxe- Gotha." It is rumoured that an action of damages has been raised against a daily newspaper here by Theresa Longworth—as she must now be called—for a libel con tained in a leading article commenting on the case decided last week by the jury, in which James Walker, Esq., of Dairy, was defender. —North. British Mail. RAILWAY BI LLS. —Yesterday a committee, con sisting of Lords Steward, Stradbroke, Portman, Overstone, and Churaton, inquired into the circumstances connected with the fictitious petition presented to the house in con nection with the East Gloeestershire Railway. The per sons examined were—W. Isaacs, clerk to Mr. Boodle, so licitor, of Cheltenham ; 3. Preston, town crier of Chelten ham; R. S. Lingwood, solicitor, of Cheltenham; and C. W. Maisey, his clerk. After a minute categorical exami nation, the delinquents were admonished and dismissed. A committee, consisting of Earl Grey, chairman, and Lords Clarina, Harris, Hunsdon, and Carew, considered the bill of the Vale of Neath Railway, which was passed ; and sub sequently that of the Merthyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny Railway, which they intimated they were prepared to pass conditionally on the insertion of clauses for making the line double, and giving running powers to the West Midland before the leasing powers take effect. The bills of the Car marthen and Cardigan Railway and Mid-Wales deviations, being unopposed, were referred to Lord Redesdale's com mittee, in which the Kettering and Thrapstone, Edin burgh, Perth, and Dundee, and Fife and Kinross were passed. General traffic evidence was adduced in favour of the Shrewsbury and Hereford Railway, and Mr. Alderman Copeland, M.P., and other manufacturers in the Potteries, were examined in favour of the Wellington, Drayton, and Newcastle. The settlement of the clauses of the North British Amalgamation Bill occupied the day.

The Independance Beige publishes the following letter from Warsaw, dated the 4th inst.:— " At Warsaw, as at St. Petersburg, the extreme parties seem to have agreed to turn aside the Government from the path of reform into which it had boldly entered. These parties will fall, it is to be hoped, at Warsaw before the good sense of the public, as they have fallen at St. Peters burg. I send you a few details of the horrible attempt to assassinate the Grand Duke Constantine. ' " Yesterday morning, 3d July, his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Constantine had received at the Chateau du Belvedere the high Polish functionaries, and a depu tation from the Municipal Body, presented to him by the head of the Civil Administration, Marquis Wielopolski, The Duke had a kind word for each ; to the members of the Council of State he said that he counted upon their loyal support,and was happy to share their labours. At noonhis Imperial High ness visited the Greek Cathedral, afterwards the Catholic Cathedral, and was received at the porches of both churches by the metropolitan archbisheps of the respective faiths. He was heartily welcomed everywhere by a large crowd, who occasionally cheered him. In the evening his Imperial Highness drove in his carriage to the theatre without an escort to see the opera of " Stradella." Before the opera was over, while getting into his carriage, about half-past nine o'clock, under the vestibule of the theatre, an indi vidual who had concealed himself in one of the passages approached close to him and fired a pistol point blank al him. The ball, fortunately, only grazed the right clavicle, having been turned off by a button and the Archduke's epaulette. The assassin was immediately seized by one of the aides-de-camp on duty. Baron Bremsen, who caught him so firmly by the back of the neck that he nearly chocked him. The man vomited, and it was for a moment supposed he had taken poison. This miserable wretch had the pistol still in his hand. His name is Jarozzynski, and he is a tailor's apprentice. _ . " He has already been examined, and some of his accom plices have been arrested. It is difficult to describe what consternation this event has caased among Russians, as well as among the Poles. The opera, as you may imagine, was brought to a sudden conclusion, and among the first at the side of the Grand Duke was the Marquis Wielopolski. The Grand Duke was taken back to his box in the Opera-house, where he received surgical aid, and had the wound ban daged. He then proceeded in a close carriage to the Cha teau du Belvedere. He himself informed the Grand Duchess of what had occurred, and, despite the advanced state of her pregnancy, she received the news with great calmness. "At first it was feared that this attempt was but the sig nal for some revolutionary movement. Strong detachments of troops immediately patrolled the streets, and occupied the principal squares, but, happily, last night and this morning have passed in perfect tranquillity. " And what will now be the consequences of this at tempt ? Let us hope that it will induce the friends of order to pronounce themselves energetically against a fac tious minority, which shrinks from no means to thwart the regenerating work inaugurated by the Sovereign, under the auspices of his august brother and of the Marquis Wielopolski. " It is said that among the persons arrested is the man who fired at General Luders. The General has been suf fering great agony the last few days. GARIBALDI IN SICILY. We have received the Sicilian journals contain- ing an account of General Garibaldi's stay at Paler mo. Immediately after his arrival, the municipality issued the following proclamation " Fellow-citizen s,-General Garibaldi arrived here unexpectedly yesterday evening. The man who, in 1860, came to Palermo as our liberator, is to-day our guest. The glorious dictator of Sicily presents himself as a private citizen. Let him be welcomed ! Fellow-citizens, the tntnicipality unites in demonstrations of the affection and gratitude of our people for him who delivered us from the most cruel of servitudeF, and who has done so much to unite the country to the rest of the Italian family. By our calmness, by our concord, we will show him that we are worthy of his affection. Long live General Garibaldi ! (Signed) " THE MUNICIPALITY. " Palais de Ville, June 29." On the evening of his arrival, General Garibaldi, who was stopping at the Trinacrio Hotel, was com pelled by the cries of an immense crowd to show himself in the balcony, where he uttered the follow ing words : " I salute you, people of Palermo ! We know each other in the moment of danger. If there is a peo ple in the world who deserve my affection it is the people of Palermo. People of great initiative, you merit the gratitude of the entire peninsula and the admiration of the world. Yes, lam touched ; this people moves me. I salute you ;I am with you, and I shall not leave Palermo immediately." The next day Garibaldi, in company with the royal princes and the Prefect of Palermo, M. Palla vicini, one of his old friends, inaugurated the rifle contest. The fete was a splendid one, and the most perfect order reigned, "in this city," to use the language of one of the journals, "of 200,000 inhabi tants, all so impressionable and so ardently devoted to Garibaldi." The General several times adaressed the multitude, and always upon the necessity of concord. " There are two men," he said, " who will never deceive you, listen to them ; they are—Victor Emmanuel and myself. Rome and Venice will be ours before long. To attain this . object we must resign ourselves to any sacrifice. Italy must be one —one--one." THE LATE BOMBARDMENT OF BELGRADE. The following protest against th e b om b ardment of Belgrade was drawn up and presented to the Turkish Governor by the Consuls of England, France, Russia, and Prussia : The Governor Pasha of Belgrade having ordered the bombardment of the city without previous warning, after, having; it is true, convoked the consular corps, but without having heard them, and when every one had the right to confide in the convention passed with the Servian Govern ment in the presence of all the members of the consular corps—the undersigned leave to him the responsibility of an act so contrary to the principles of the law of nations ; and, after having protested in the most formal manner, they can but await in the bombarded city the fate which m ay overtake their countrymen until the moment when the orders of their respective Governments arrive. (Signed) LONGIVORTH, TASTIT, VLANGALY, NEROUI. The name of the English Consul is one which was familiar to the public during the famous Yel verton trial, as that of the cousin of Theresa (Long worth) Yelverton, to whom reference was frequently made by, her in the course of her evidence.

CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY. The quarterly reeking was held this day at the offices in Norfolk-street, Strand—Viscount Ranelagh in the chair. The Secretary (Mr. Gruneisen) read the advertisement convening the meeting. Viscount RANELAGH then read the following report : "In submitting the thirty-ninth quarterly report, it is with satisfaction that the executive committee can draw the attention of the shareholders of the Conservative Land Society to the annexed gratifying returns for the first nine months of the current financial year, which will end on the 30th of September next : 1 Shares Quarters ending f in Shares Total Com plete Shares Recei p ts . probes.- Dec. 24,1861 202 41 243 £13,529 1 4 March 25, 1862 lO3 26 129 11,821 17 11 June 24, 1862 431 127 558 98,377 11 4 Totals to Sept.3o, '61113,766 3,780 17,546 561,588 10 9 - Grand totals to' Midsummer, 1862. 14,197 3,907 18,104 609,966 2 1 " The receil is for the current three quarters of 1862, compared with the corresponding nine months of the last year, show an increase of £622 Bs. ld., and both in com pleted shares, and shares in progress, the Midsummer shows a larger number than the Lady •day quarter.

"The advantages accruing to holders of rights of choice were never u oce strongly manifested than at the allotment which took place ort the 30th of April last; valuable ground rents on the Roman Road (North Bow) and Battersea estates, besides freehold houses on the Round Hill Crescent, Brighton, were on":=Ted for sale, an d b u ildi ng land on the fourth portion of the Brighton estate, at the end of Richmond and Princes-roan' with an additional quantity of large plots on the Roeham,nton Park Estate. The executive committee may also remQrk, as to this allotment, that the Conservative Land Society is now in a position, from its continued success, N afford investors opportunities of acquiring land in Jarge or small quantities, or ground rents and houses, with a greater variety of selection every year in different counties. "As regards Roehampton, the works are in progress for the completion of Alton and Bessborough Roads, and throwing open to buyers of land on that estate commandit;.,l: views of Richmond Park, and the Surrey Hills. Impressed with the excellence of the sites, special care has been taken to secure the erection of first class villas, with a sufficiency of land for garden, so that the mansion and park, as well as the neighbourhood, have not deteriorated by the increase of building. The executive committee have the pleasure likewise to announce that an additional frontage to Roe hampton-lane has been acquired for the Putney-heath estate, and the rentloval of the Squatters'-cottages in its vicinity will materially improve not only that property, but also the Roeharapton estate. The new frontage will be soon offered for sale. " The works on the second Tunbridge. wells estate, the I4orthgate and Beacon-hill estates at Newark, and the Park estate at Weymouth are actively carried on by the contractors. " Since the last reprirt, two most eligible estates have been purchased in the northern and southern divi sions of Essex. The first property is just out of the town of Colchester, at the south side, on the roads to Mersea and Berechurch. The erection of additional barracks at Col chester will cause a demand for houses, independently of the development which may be expected when the new railway by the Stour Valley branch railroad of the Eastern Union has its station near St. Botolph's church. The se cond South Essex property is the well-known Woodhouse es tate, Wanstead, late the residence of Money Wigram, Esq„ and in a most healthy situation on the borders of Epping Forest, with a frontage to Wanstead Heath, and railroad communication within a short distance of the three stations at Forest Gate, Stratford, and Low Leyton, Wood house being within seven miles of St. Paul's, the property is a valuable acquisition for the society on the north eastern side of the metropolis. It is intended to sell or let the residence, with a suitable quantity of the well wooded park, leavipg the remainder of the land for division in large or small plots, ac,,7ording to the building frontages, which are excellent.

The allottees are at no expense for this regis tration, as the society bears the entire charge. The share holders may be assured that their electoral privileges are as carefully attended to as their financial interests, by the exe cutive committee." A LADY KILLED IN THE STRAND.--ThiS morn ing, a frightful occurrence took place in the Strand, arising from the reckless speed at which the public cabs are now driven through the streets of the metropol is, to a fashion ably-attired female, who was in the ac t of crossing that thoroughfare between Coutts' Bank and Bedford-street, when a Hansom cab (No. 4,020) came along at a rapid rate. She was knocked down by the horse, and the wheels of the vehicle passed over her. She was picked up by Police• constable 89 X, and conveyed without loss of time to the Charing-cross Hospital, where, on examination by the surgeons, she was found to be quite dead. The driver of the cab was taken to the Bow-street Police-office, where he entered into the required sureties to meet any charge that might be prefe rre d against him. Some documents were found on th e un ortu nate lady's person, in the name of Mrs. Jane Langton, f a return ticket from Cha r lton, and the ad' dress, 2, Crescent-villas, Park-crescent, Clapham.

(From the Dublin Freeman.) COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. TIIELWALL V. YELVERTON—JUDGMENT. Judgment was given on the exceptions to the charge of the Lord Chief Justice yesterday. Mr. Justice Christian first delivered judgment. Having stated the exceptions, which have been already reported, his lordship said that in dealing with the questions of law now to be determined it was not his intention to enter into the facts of the case, which were already sufficiently notorious, but would at once proceed to consider the questions of law raised by the exceptions. The two first excep tions referred to the Scotch marriage, which was purely a question of fact—namely, whether, if such a ceremony took place at all, it was sufficient to constitute a marriage, and there being evidence on the issue, it was properly left to the jury to deter mine by the Lord Chief Justice in a manner of which he (Justice Christian) thought it impossible to com plain. He was, therefore, of opinion that, as far as the first two exceptions were concerned, the court could do nothing with them but overrule them both. The fourth and fifth exceptions related to matters of more interest and importance to the people of Ireland —namely, the Irish marriage. There was no dispute as to the performance of the cere mony. It was admitted that on the sth of August, 1857, a ceremony of marriage was performed by a Roman Catholic priest between Major Yelver ton and Miss Longworth, which, if both per sons had been previously for twelve months of that persuasion, would have made them man and wife; and he (Justice Christian) took the liberty of saying that it ought so to have bound them in conscience, in honour, and in honesty. No one could regret more than he did that the Court should be compelled to look behind that ceremony. He regretted that there was in existence what he was glad to have heard charac terised at the bar as a moribund statute—although, judging from the ordinary channels of intelligence, it was as far from being repealed as ever. He re gretted that there should be a statute which com pelled the Court to confirm the assertion of a man who had acted as the defendant admitted he had done; that the marriage then contracted was not a marriage at all, but a mockery and a fraud. He (Justice Christian) hoped he did not transgress his proper province when he added that, let the result of the present litigation be what it might, even though it was to establish that the defendant was bound by no legal tie to the unhappy lady who claimed to be his wife ; he was bound if he had one spark of honour and manhood in his nature to make to her and those who had befriended her—what ever reparation the contract which' he afterwards entered into with another would permit. If the result, however, was that the verdict would stand, he (Justice Christian) for one should be happy at that result. But the members of that Court had a duty to perform—they sat there to ad minister the law according to its spirit, and, above all, it was their duty to take care that not even for the sake of justice should law be obtained, or truth outraged. It rested with the defendant to invali date that ceremony of marriage, and he endea voured to do it by vesting on the statute the 19th George 11. It was creditable to the morality of Ireland that although that statute was in force for more than a century, so very few persons appeared to have taken advantage of its provisions. His lordship then referred to the case of Kirwin v. Kirwin, from which he said two results were to be drawn, namely :—that the statute contemplated two intermediate classes of persons, namely, actual Catholics, who being such, were treated as Protestants, because they professed to be so—but there was no corresponding class of actual Protes tants—there was not one word in the statute about Protestants professing to be Catholics, the inference being in the words of the statute that once a man was placed in the legal category of Pro testants, nothing could take him out of it, except his absolutely pulling himself out of it by open public profession. The only way in which a man could indicate whether he was a Catholic or not, was by his outward acts and demeanour, the law did not dive into hearts and consciences. The statute enacted that a marriage " celebrated by a Papist priest was null and void, unless the status of the parties has been for twelve months pre viously that of legal Catholic." His lordship then entered at length into the facto of the case, and concluded by stating that in his opinion the third, fourth, and fifth exceptions should be allowed. Mr. Justice Keogh coincided with Mr. Justice Christian. Mr. Justice Ball gave it as his opinion that all the exceptions should be overruled. The Chief Justice agreed with Justice Ball. The court being thus divided in opinion, the ver dict stands ; but for the purpose of an appeal the• junior judge will withdraw his judgmentprofortna, and divide with the Chief Justice and Judge Ball in favour of the plaintiff. THE LATE SIR R. G. 711.ROCKMORTON BART. The neighbourhood of Farringdon has again to moufn the loss of one of its worthies in the person of Sir Robert G. Throckmorton, Bart., of Buckland House, and Coughton Court, in Warwickshire, whose death we regret to hear took place suddenly in Londoc on Saturday, June 28th, of "angina pectoris," at he comparatively early age of 62. Though latterly contenting himself with the quiet discharge of his deies as a magistrate and resident landowner, yet, soon after the passing of the Re form Bill, he worthily represented this county in Parliament from 1831 to 1835. In 1843 he held the office of High Sheriff, and appointed as his chaplain on the occasion the late, Archdeacon of Berkshire, the Venerable Edward Berens. Possessing abilities of no common order, and a mind of unusual grasp and power, he improved and cultivated them by the most varied and extensive reading, the result of which was that all who en joyed the pleasure of his society and conversation drew instruction from his well-assorted stores of learning, and admired the ready ease with which he threw himself oat upon any subject that arose. Of his religious views and sentiments this is not the place to speak ; that he held them consistently and conscientiously there is no doubt, and though they differed from those of his more immediate neighbours and friends, yet he never allowed them to interfere with the amenities of social life, and at his hospitable table all found a hearty welcome without distinction of party or of creed. In the dispensing of his charities, and in the em considered were for his ever ployment of labour he was bountiful, impartial, and unprejudiced. a h e n fi e d t , tohfc though erection g i sh own parish Into any plans which he h h o t ie h o_ der, , t willing to country'spa::ile kindly good,neighbourhood, egn o ht r ebro f eu o s r rt the repair enter. the parish church —in -t of the National School —in the come d manageme.._ and restoration ua _ • t cration of the new bur2a.,_,.. he set his face not least, the sternness wi th 14114,4, • too a gainst those excesses and immoralities whtiu, often disgrace our country villages, all combine to show that we have lost in Sir RTh R. rockmorton the winning influence of a true old English gentleman and the bright example of a genuine Christian character. ro r oheo ueaknl wasdibne nt DEATH OF LADY EDWARD HOWARD.—This lady died on Thursday last from disease of the heart. The public is acquainted with her from the celebrated trial "Doyle v. Wright," concerning the personal custody of her ladyship (as Miss Augusta Talbot), then a ward in Chancery. Her death, although symptoms of disease were well known to her medical attendants, was somewhat sudden. Her ladyship leaves a youthful family of five daughters and an only son. THE TUSCARORA AT SOUTHAMPTON AGAIN.— SOUTHAMPTON, Monday.—The United States' screw cor vette Tuscarora, whose exploits at this port some six months sin ce , i n connection with the Nashville, excited so much interest, arrived in the river this day from Cadiz, and has anchored. Nothing is known as to the object of her visit. Some of the officers might have been ashore, and called at the 'United States' Consulate for letters, but that is all that has transpired respecting her. in k Tt ha R(
