In other hotels litanies are said for the success of the Pope, the Ring and Queen of Naples, and the destruction of all the enemies of the church. The same thing takes place in nearly all the Roman Catholic churches. In the English Episcopal chapels there are Lent lectures once a w ee k, and seven times in one in the imme diate neighbourhood of the Madeleine, whfch is an humble imitation of St. Barnabas, Pimlico, but which is just as Well attended by ladies at a loss for some means of passing their time. The Empress listens once a week to the exhor tations of a Dominican friar, and spends Ihe rest of the week in giving concerts and matinees. The Princess Clo tilde is constant in her attendance at her oratory. But she does not look more serious than anybody else when driving a little pony phaeton of wicker work in the Bois de Bon -I°Vie, every morning, from nine till eleven o'clock." A HULL SHIP SEIZED BY AN AMERICAN CRUISER.. "-The American news contains an account cf the capture of the Labuan British screw steamer (owned at Hull), of 1 ,200 tons burden, while lying at Matamoras—and, it is al leged, clearly in Mexican waters—by the United States 141 .,,,iP-of-war Portsmouth. The vessel has been sent to the North for adjudication, and the captain was detained as a prisoner. The Lauban left this country with an ordinary cargo, comprising no warlike materials of any kind, and Aas loading with cotton at Matamoras, on account of a 4Ra nchester house, for her return voyage. The charge" itgainat her, and which is believed to be entirely unfounded, ,_ 3 that she had landed ordnance stores at Matamoras, but 4t is difficult to understand how even that plea can cover a asizure, by an American vessel at a Mexican port. The hiP Island correspondent of tho New York Times says at " the capture was so clearly the result of an unfortunate mistake, that the delivery of the vessel to the English a uthorities and the payment of a heavy bill of costs by the United States Government are regarded as almost certain."

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CRUELTY TO CAB Rouses—Thomas Jordan, cab-driver, badge 10,126, was charged by Mr. Win. Love, chief officer of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with having cruelly ill-treated and tortured a horse. Mr. Love attended to prosecute. Mr. Guest, officer of the Royal Society, said he was passing through Berkeley-square when he saw the defend ant driving a horse and cab, and noticing the restless move ments of the horse, he'had the defendant stopped, and on the pad on the horse's back being lifted it quivered, and showed signs of pain. There was a wound on the top of its back larger than a crown-piece, and it appeared to be deep, and blood and matter came from it. The defendant appeared to have been drinking, and would not alter the harness so as to keep it from the wound, but admitted, in his own words, "it was rather too bad," and that he was not aware of it. It was impossible that he (defendant) could be unaware of the state of the horse. The defendant said he was sorry he had taken the horse out. He had never been before a magistrate till then, and hoped he would be dealt leniently with. Mr. Love said he felt bound, in justice to the defendant, to say that since he had taken out the summons he had ascertained that defendant was a respectable man, and bore a good character for his treatment of horses ; but the society had received so many complaints of cruelty by cabmen, that he had felt it incumbent upon him to came forward. The magistrate (Mr. Tyrwhitt) after indignantly re marking on the cruel practice of working horses in such a state, fined the defendant 10s. and costs, the defendant's character saving him from a heavier penalty. ANOTHER CASE.—William Haydon, an omnibus driver, bearing the badge 11,096, was also charged by Mr. love with having cruelly tortured a horse by working it in an omnibus whilst suffering from wounds with which the harness was coming in contact. . . _ The evidence of the society's officers went to show that the horse was suffering from wounds on its shoulders and withers of a very bad character. _ . The Magistrate said that omnibus men and cabmen seemed to have no feeling at all, and they used their horses as though they were mere machines. He should fine the defendant 10s., and he had better take care not to come to that court again on a similar charge. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CO` ENT GARDEN.

A scene occurred in St. Paul's Church, Alexan dria, Virginia, on Sunday morning, Feb. 9, 1862, which has perhaps never had a parallel among civilised nations, certainly not in the history of this country. The officiating clergyman, Rev. K. J. Stewart, had just got through the Morning Prayer of the Episcopal Church as far as the Litany, the prayer for the President being omitted, but without anything in its place, and was proceeding with the Litany, when an interruption occurred of the cha racter which the law designates as " brawling"— that is, the intervention of noise and tumult by cer tain persons, who had come to church with the in tention of interrupting the service should it not pro ceed according to their wishes. These persons com menced the disturbance as soon as they found the prayer for the President omitted. One of them, Capt. Farnsworth, of the Bth Illinois Cavalry, who sat near the chancel, dressed in uniform, with some five or six of his soldiers near him, undertook to officiate in prayer (if prayer it can be called) by reading the prayer for the President of the United States. How far he went does not appear in the confusion; but soon quitting his position as the offerer of prayer, he advanced to the altar where Mr. Stewart was kneeling, still continuing the Litany, and ordered his arrest. Mr. Stewart was dragged from his knees by the soldiers. The ground of the arrest of Capt. Farnsworth distinctly avowed to be the omission of the prayer for the President of the United States. With this avowal he said," 1 arrest you by the authority of the United States, as a rebel and a traitor." " And I," responded Mr. Stewart, who by that time had advanced to the chancel rails, to Captain F., " summon you to an swer at the judgment seat of the King of kings and Lord of lords for interfering by force of arms with His ambassador while in the act of presenting the petitions of His people at His altar." The solemnity of this appeal appatently caused the parties to fall back and pause, but soon the soldiers were ordered to seize Mr. Stewart, which two of them did with great violence, forcing the prayer-book from him, one of them drawing a revolver. Another revolver was presented to an old and venerated citizen within the chancel, when the officer ordered the soldier not to fire. Very soon a considerable number of armed sol diers appeared in the church. Mr. Stewart, refus ing to yield voluntarily, was dragged by force from the altar, and through the aisle, out of the church. He was in the surplice, which he wore through the streets and at Captain Farnsworth's quarters, where he was taken. Capt. Farnsworth said that he went to church intending to arrest Mr. Stewart if he should offer any prayer for the Confederate States. Near him in the same pew sat Mr. Morton, the detective agent of the United States Government, who there gave orders to Captain Farnsworth to make the arrest, which was executed as above described. Mr. Mor ton has declared that he was acting under authority from Washington. The scene in the church was such as may be imagined under such circumstances. Gentlemen were indignant and excited, and ladies giving utterance to their feelings of grief and indig nation, but of course no serious effort was made to prevent the arrest. Mr. Stewart was taken away, and the congregation dispersed. It is proper to state that these proceedings were without the knowledge of General Montgomery , the military governor of the city, and were strong*" condemned by him when they came to his know ledge. He telegraphed to Washington foreceived, from the Government, which, when were of such a nature as to lead toy r. Stewar.t's release after a few hours' detention.—ostonCourter.

In the course of the debate on the address in the Corps Legislatif on Wednesday, M. Billault read the following letter, addressed in 1861 by the Em peror Napoleon lIL to King Victor Emmanuel. It is dated some days after the official recognition of the Italian kingdom by France : " Vichy, July 12, 1861. "Monsieur mon FrEre—l was happy to be able to recognise the new kingdom of Italy at the mo ment when your Majesty lost the man who had contributed the most to the regeneration of his country. By so doing I wished to give a fresh proof of my sympathy in a cause for which we had fought together. In resuming our official relations, however, I am compelled to make some reserves for the future. A government is always bound by its antecedents. _ _ It is now 11 years that I have supported the power of the Holy Father at Rome ; in spite of my desire not to occupy militarily any portion of the Italian soil, circumstances have always been such that it has been impossible for me to evacuate Rome. In doing so without weighty guarantees, I should have forfeited the confidence which the chief of religion had placed in the protection of France. The position is still the same. _ _ _ I must therefor 3 frankly declare to your Majesty that while recognising the new kingdom of Italy, I shall leave my troops at Rome so long as it shall not be reconciled with the Pope, or as long as the Holy Father shall be threatened with seeing the States still remaining to him invaded by a force regular or irregular. In this circumstance your Majesty may be well persuaded that I am influenced solely by a fe eling of duty. I may entertain opinions in opposition to those of your Majesty. I may think that political transformations are the work of time, and that a complete aggregation cannot be durable except in asmuch as it shall have been prepared by the assi milation of interests, ideas, and customs—in a word, I think that unity ought to have followed, and not preceded, union ; but that conviction has not in any way influenced my conduct. The Italians are the best judges of what suits them ; and it is not for me, the issue of popular election, to pretend to weigh on the decisions of a free people. I therefore hope that your Majesty will unite your efforts to mine, in order that for the future nothing shall happen to disturb the good harmony so Ilappily re established between the twogovernments. EXTRAORDINARY _ROBBERIES AT 111 E GEX_ERA L POST-OFFICE. During the last few days considerable anxiety has been created amongst the bankers and merchants in the City by the discovery of the robbery of a regis tered letter, containing notes and cheques of the value, it is reported, of £5,000, the whole of which has been realised in gold at the Bank of England. Upon waiting on the Secretary of the Post-office at St. Martin's -le-Grand, our reporter was informed of the following facts :—On Friday, the 7th inst., a letter was registered at Waterford, addressed to Messrs. Leaf and Co., Old Change, London, and duly forwarded to the metropolis. It is known to have safely reached St. Martin's-le-Grand, as the authorities have adopted a plan of requiring the postmen to sign a receipt when registered letters are handed over to them for delivery to the parties to whom they are addressed. On the occasion in question the clerk of the registered letter department called the postman by name to the pigeon hole of the office. Somebody answered, who at the time was believed to be the proper per son, and after signing the usual form of receipt the registered letter in question was given him to deli ver. Nothing more was heard of the matter until the middle of the week, when a communication was received from Messrs, Leaf inquiring the reason why the registered letter in question had not been de livered. The clerk of the registered letter depart ment was at once referred to, and he produced the postman's receipt to show that T h e e ad dmul hoafndt a y nh ed e over the letter for delivery. post walk was then se nt for, and on attending he was interrogated why he had not delivered the letter to the firm. Ile denied ever having the letter, and on the receipt being produced he stated that it was not his signature, and that it was a forgery. The offi cials of the Post-office at once instituted the fullest inquiry, with a view of ascertaining who had got possession of the letter, but we believe that nothing satisfactory was elicited, except that the letter had been fraudulently obtained by means of a deep laid scheme, either by some one connected with the Post-office, or by some person who had a perfect knowledge of the registered letter issue department and of the way the business was transacted. It is stated that on Messrs. Leaf finding that the letter was missing, they at once gave the usual notice to the bankers to stop the cheques and notes. Unfor tunately, however, the warning was too late. The cheques had been paid, and the notes had been ex changed for gold at the Bank of England. So the matter at present stands. Another registered letter, containing, it is said, £2,000, is reported to have disappeared under similar circumstances. It is not llong since a registered letter from Lincoln to one of the bankers in Lombard-street was abstracted, and these frequent losses have occasioned some uneasi ness in the City, inasmuch as the Post-office do not hold themselves responsible for thieteoisntuenndtserosftoroed gistered letters. The Post-office , disavow all responsibility ; eporied, the system of a nd in that case , sup posing the facts to be a s r registration must be regarded onlyasathdaetluifsitohne. It is by no means improbable, however, question of ul o responsibility shd come before a court special thopaavbyeemr beeneenntd ful ly ered agai ns t having been of law the fact of a made to the Post-office for the exercise of special nottexer cised,c re, which will care could cause a ve them, even g iven notice of non-liab ility. a lthough therdyic may plead than they have always wili ppiNG.—The bill to amend the law as to the whipping of juveniles and other offenders, brought in by Mr. Hadfield and others, provides that where the punish ment of whipping is awarded for any offence by order of one or more justice or justices made in exercise of his or their power of summary conviction, or in Scotland by the Court of Justiciary, or by any sheriff or magistrate, the order, sentence, or conviction awarding such punishment, shall specify the number of strokes to be inflicted and the instrument to be used in the infliction of them, and in the case of an offender whose age does not exceed 14 years, the number of strokes inflicted shall not exceed 12. Yesterday, at three o'clock, the Earl of Derby, the Earl of Clarendon, Mr. Cubitt, the Lora Mayor, and Sir Charles Eastlake, the president of the Royal Academy, who were recently nominated by the Queen to advise her Majesty in the choice and mode of execution of a design for the proposed. national memorial of the lamented Prince Consort, held another conference on the subject in the Coun cil Chamber of the Fine Arts Commission, at the Palace of Westminster. Mr. Marshall, the chairman of the Ross and Mull Granite Company, attended before the committee, and gave additional information respecting the. block of red granite, about 106 feet in lengtii and some 12 feet square on an average, which had been discovered in an unleased qua cry there belonging to the Duke of Argyll, and, to which the attention of the committee had been pre viously dii ected as suitable for the intended memo rial. He produced a diagram of the stone and plans, prepared by Captain Moorsom, the company's en gineer, showing its position and outline, and that is about 500 yards distant from the sea. He ex plained that it had been uncovered to the extent of about 106 feet, and that as both its ends are still embedded, it may be found to be of even a greater available length than that. Upon the whole, the information he gave went to impress the committee that this block of granite afforded greater promise of grandeur and aptitude for the pur pose of a monolithic obelisk than at first they had been led to imagine. For the present therefore their attention is concentrated upon it, though they have received communications upon the subject from the owners and lessees of other granite quarries in the kingdom, especially one from Lord Falmouth, who has made a generous offer in the event of his quarries of serpentine being found to contain a single stone of sufficient dimensions. It is under stood that the Duke of Argyll has intimated to the committee his desire to present them with the stone to which reference has been made on his pro perty in the Island of Mull, if eventually it should be thought to fulfil the condition on which her Majesty decided in favour of an obelisk as a fitting memorial of her illustrious Consort. Oa the assumption of such a gift by his grace the Granite Company, who lease some of the adja cent quarries to that in which it lies, have given in two estimates—one of £25,000, as the probable cost of quarrying the stone, shaping and polishing it on the spot, and removing it to the water's edge ; the other of £15,000 for those operations, less the po lishing, which in that case would be done in Lon don. Mr. Marshall calculated that the interval required for the operations covered by the first estimate would extend from the present time to the summer of 1863. • It remains to be stated that the Memerfal Fund now being raised at the:Mansion-House amounted last evening to £40,500. Among the donors yes terday were Lord Redesdale, £lOO, and the Grocers' Company, £lOO. MANCHESTER PATENT LAW REFORM 40.80C1ATION. A general committee meeting of the Manchester Patent Law Reform Association was held yesterday afternoon in the B Committee-room of the Town Hall. The chair was taken by Mr. William Fair bairn, LLD., F.R.S., and thEre were also present— Messrs. Marshall, W. B. Johnson, John Bell, James Potter, W. Routledge, E. Scott, P. Grant, Peter Effertz, J. Cooke, C. Schiele, J. Revelle, T. Clay ton, and E. J. Hughes, hon. secretary. The meeting - was especially called to consider the report of a sub-committee to which the resolu,- tions proposed by a committee of the British Asso ci,itifm for a reform of Patent Laws had been referred. The sub-committee, after considering what defects in the working of the present law re quire amendment, and after examining carefully the resolutions of the British Association, had re• solved to recommend certain alterations which they were of opinion would not interfere with the rights of inventors, and at the same time, by preventing a number of useless patients being granted, would be an additional security t d e the public. These altera tions, as subsequently amended by the general meeting, were as follows : 1. That a Court of Commissioners or Examiners shall be appointed, to consist of three members, eminent for their scientific acquirements, one to be conversant with mechani cal engineering, the second with chemistry, and the third a barrister, or law officer, with a sufficient stiff of assistants, who shall devote the whole of their time to the Patent office, and be paid liberal salaries out of the funds arising from the fees paid for letters patent. 2. That the said Commissioners shall grant provisional protection for in ventions on application as heretofore. 3. That the Com missioners shall carefully examine each invention as pro visionally protected, as to the novelty thereof. 4. That the Commissioners shall, within two months from the date of the provisional protection, either authorise the grant of the patent, or inform the applicant that they have doubts about the novelty of the invention, stating their reasons, and referring him to the authorities they de pend upon for proving the want of novelty, or, if ne cessary, to require further particulars than are contained in the provisional specification; in such case, the applicant shall furnish additional descriptions within one month after receiving such notice, or such longer time as the Commis sioners, in their discretion, may deem necessary. 5. That the applicant shall have one month to file his specification, after receiving the decision of the Commissioners. 6. That any person interested in opposing the grant of any patent shall give notice of his objections to the Commissioners pre vious to the expiration of two months from the date of pro visional protection. 7. That when the Commissioners report against the novelty of any invention, the applicant shall have the privilege of asking for a re .examination, at which he shall produce either viva voce evidence before the Commis sioners, or give them additional particulars in writ ing. 8. That the applicant shall pay reasonable fees for such e-eam regulated shall b b ythee tried Com missioners.teaTt i h o a n t , a th il e ca fee se s s t o o b of infringement in the first instan ce in an y of the ordinar y courts of law, r , i . n before a special jury of gentlemen conversant with the sub ject-matter of dispute. 10. That either party shall have the power of appealing against the decision of such jury to the Judges sitting in Banco, and that, if they confirm the judg ment already given, their decision shall be final ; but if they differ, an appeal to the Privy Council shall be allowed, but whose decision shall be final. 11. That if the patentee shall find that he has claimed something in his provisional specifi cation which is not new or useful, he shall be allowed to dis claim the same in his final specification. 12. That the £5O tax now payable at the expiration , of the third year, and also the £lOO payable at the expiration of the seventh year, be abolished, but £5O, payable at the expiration of the fifth year, be substituted therefore. After some discussion the resolutions were • agreed to. -----=--- A New York correspondent says :—" Standing near me at the execu tion of Capt, Gordon to-day was Edwin.

With most commendable humanity, however, he stood by the distressed ship off and on till next day, when, the weather moderating, a boat was lowered from the evidently sinking ship, reaching the Bar tram in safety with captain, mate, crew, and OLIO lady, a passenger ; in all 20 persons. The vessel proved to be the Sultan, from Africa to Liverpool, laden with guano, Captain Steel, commander. The vessel was stated to have left in a c leaky state, the water, owing chie fly to the violence of the sea, gaining upon her so much that she is believed to have gone down in 20 hours after she was abandoned, although an invention of Captain Steers, a kind of windmill capabl e of pumping out 20 tons of water in an hour, was kept eo moment the crew left. stantly going till the 1/ 1 The catta n i ; saved his papers a nd valuables, the lady losing all her' -- spare clothing a the moment of leaving the Sultan.
