Notwithstanding the efforts of the managers to lower the water in the pit by the aid of engine-pumps, their efforts have been only successful in a very small degree, and some weeks must daps@ before the water can be sufficiently lowered to admit of any person entering the pit to seek for the bodies of the ill-fated miners. Mr. Evans, the Govern ment mine inspector, has paid several visits to the spot, and approves of the measures taken to pump the water from the pit. HIGH BAILIFF OF SOUTHWARK. The Lord Mayor has fixed the election of a gentleman to fill the office of High Bailiff of Southwark for Thursday, the sth of May next, the Government having determined that the appoint ment should be filled up by the corporation ; the party elected, however, not to be in a position to claim any retir ing allowance in the event of the office being abolished by the proposed Corporation Reform Bill. The salary (inde pendently of fees, which will be but of trifling amount) is to be 100 guineas per annum. The appointment is vested in the Common Council. THE GOVERNORSHIP OF NENVGATE.—In conse quence of the transference of Mr. Weatherhead from the governorship of Newgate Prison to that of Holloway, the former appointment has been declared vacant. There are two candidates at present in the field, namely, Mr. Jonas, of the paper department at Newgate, and Mr. William James Mitchell, ohe of the city policumPerintendonto. Do. do. .. :.. .......

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were firm for wheat, at full prices, at a slight advance. There was less activity in the sale for barley ; but oats, beans, and peas were in fair request, at full prices. Flour changed hands slowly, yet prices were well supported. Nearly the whole of the Continental Markets have been firm for wheat; and, in some instances, prices have shown a tendency to advance. Most kinds of Spring corn have moved off steadily, at full prices. In the United States, the transactions in produce have beon on a limited scale. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad, we received 9812 qrs. of wheat, 14,695 barley, 24,640 oats, 106 rye, 1,807 beans, 680 peas, 30 tares, 18,510 linseed, 19,015 oilseed, 7 mustard, 900 sundry seeds, and 2,342 sacks of fl our. Both from Essex and Kent, coastwise and by land car riage, the arrivals of wheat fresh up this morning were very moderate, and, as the whole of the supply received last week was cleared off on Friday, the show of samples was small. Red qualities were in request for export to Portugal, about 250 quarters having been taken for that destination, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday last of from is to 2s per quarter. White samples were steady, and prices were quite is per quarter higher than on that day. There was a fair average quantity of foreign wheat on the stands. The amount of business doing in all kinds was very moderate; but most of the importers refused to sell, except is to 2s per quarter more money. Floating cargoes of grain were firm, but not dearer. Owing to the change in the weather malting barley was in improved request, at very full prices. Grinding and dis tilling sorts moved off steadily, at extreme rates. There was very little doing in malt, at the late decline in value. Oats, though in full average supply, moved off steadily, at full quotations. We had a good demand for beans, and prices advanced is per quarter. ' In peas very little was passing, at late rates The flour trade wall firm, and, in some instances, prices had an upward tendency.

The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 3,029 head In the corresponding week in 1858 we received 1,254 ; in 1857, 1,096 ; in 1856, 229; in 1855, 951; in 1854, 505 ; m 1853, 3,896 ; and in 1852, head.

Com pared with Monday last, the total supply of beasts on offer this morning was limited, and its general quality was very middling. The attendance of butchers was good, and all kinds of breeds of beasts sold somewhat briskly, at an ad vance in the quotations, compared with this day se'nnight, of fully 2d per 81bs. The general top price was ss, but some superior Scots produced 58 2d per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,600 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses ; from other Arts of, England, 850 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 200 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland 90 oxen and heifers. With most breeds of sheep . we were fairly supplied. The mutton trade was firm, and, in some instances; prices were the turn higher than on Monday last—the best old downs having sold at 6s per 81bs. We had a steady demand for lambs—the supply of which was moderate—at from 58 64 to 7s per 81bs. The latter price, however, must be considered an extreme quotation. About 250 lambs came to hand from the Isle of Wight. There was a good demand for calves, and prices had an upward tendency. The supply was limited.

ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) JUDGMENT.—SPARROW V. FARMER. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said this is a claim filod by one of the members of a benefit building society called the British Building and Deposit Company, and he asks to be given up to him the mortgage title-deeds of his property. It appeared by the 21st rule of the society that first-class members, of whom the plaintiff was one, were bound to pay 10s. per month, and at the end of 13 years they became entitled to receive £336. In 1845 plaintiff mortgaged his property in Charlotte-street, and received in advance £lOO. Plaintiff paid up his calls and fines for 13 years, and now claimed the mortgage deed over his pro perty to be delivered up to him. The society resisted the claim on the ground that by the regulations the society was not to be dissolved until the funds of the society were able to pay £l5O to each second-class member, that the funds of the society were not yet able to pay this sum to each mem ber of the society, and the plaintiff was bound to continue a member until the funds enabled each member to receive £l5O, and that they were entitled to retain the mortgage indenture granted by him until the society's funds were able to pay this sum. In referring to the case of this society before the Court of Exchequer, and the opinion of Mr. Baron Martin in that case, he came to the conclusion that the plaintiff was entitled to have his mortgage deed deli vered up to him at the end of 13 years, and to the sum then due to him as a member, reserving to the society any action at law they might have against him, in default of future payments or calls upon him, as a member of the society, until each member was able to obtain £l5O, in terms of the rules of the society, and decreed accordingly, with costs up to the heating, with liberty to apply. Mr. R. Palmer, Q.C., and Mr. Lloyd, Q.C., appeared in 'the cause. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir Cresswell Cresswell.) HUITSON V. HUITSON. This was a petition for divorce by the wife against the husband, a banker's clerk, No. 1, Great Cambridge-street, Hackney-road,"for adultery. The evidence went to prove the separation. The case was undefended. His Honour decreed a judicial separation. BROW± V. BROWN. This was a petition by the wife for separation from her husband on the ground of cruelty. The evidence proved the cruelty of the husband by striking his wife and pawn ing his children's clothes. His Honour granted a judicial separation. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE F. FOLKARD. The bankrupt was described as of East Beryholt, Suffolk, builder, and to-day came up to pass his last examination. The balance-sheet, by Messrs. Hart Brothers, commences Jan., 1858, with a surplus of £6,518, and the bankrupts now owe to unsecured creditors, £2,520; ditto,tholding security, £4,744. Creditor, by good debts, £204 ; doubtful, £2,890 1 ls. Bd. ; bad, carried to losses, £4,492 ; property, £395; ditto held by creditors, £5,415; expenses, £419; losses, £4,851. Mr. Pennell, the official assignee, said that the accounts were satisfactory, and the bankrupt pas'sed without opposi tion, and an allowance was made to him, as there will be a surplus from the property held by creditors. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) IMPORTANT TO THE SHIPPING INTEREST,-WALKER V. WESTBROOK Plaintiff is a• labourer, and defendant is a stevedore. Plaintiff sought to recover 3s. for nine hours' work on board a vessel, he having been employed by defendant. The de fence was that plaintiff and some of his companions had pillaged some cases of wine in the ship's hold, and had left work without being discharged. A claim had been made for the loss on the owner of the ship. Plaintiff complained that such charges were made, and that no steps had been taken to connect him with them. His Honour made an order upon defendant, telling that person he could not set off the loss against wages. Verdict for plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE AGAINST A 'TRADESMAN OF DANGEROUS DRlVlNG.—Charles Robinson, an upholsterer, at Hackney, was charged with furiously driving a horse and cart, being drunk at the time, and endangering passengers. From the evidence of Tarrant, 299 A, it appeared that about ten on Saturday night the defendant was galloping his horse along Coventry-street at the rate of nine miles an hour, till at length he came in collision with a cab, knock ing the driver off the box, and had anything been passing at the time the driver must certainly have had his life in Ho WOc drunk at the time. Defendant said it was a " moral impossibility" he could have gone at that rate ; it was only about two miles. 150 C said the defendant was going between eight and nine miles an hour. The cabman was knocked off his seat like a ball. He assisted the cabman up, but he said he did not then feel much hurt. The defendant was very violent. The defendant said he was not drunk, and Inspector Steel, who took the charge, was sent for, and proved that he was. On asking the defendant's son, a young. boy, some ques tions, he said his father had been drinkingat Knights bridge, and he could not get him home. The defendant said ho was insulted by everybody. He had only had two threepenny-worth's of gin at Knights bridge The boy denied the inspector's statement, but said his father had left him in the cart for an hour and a quarter, and was with some porters at a job. Mr. Beadon said he was satisfied the defendant was drunk as sworn to, and fined him 40s. The defendant said he should seek redress at Scotland• yard, persisting that he was not intoxicated. THAMES. TOBACCO SMUGGLING.—Henry Holloway, a seaman, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with unlawfully unshipping 2i lbs. of foreign manufactured tobacco, before the Customs' duties had been first paid and secured. Mr. Thomas Smith, a tide surveyor, stated that on the arrival of the General Steam Navigation Company's ship the Cologne, from Rotterdam, at the St Katherine's wharf, yesterday, he saw the prisoner get into a boat in a very hurried manner, and suspecting that he had smuggled goods about him, he asked him if he had any, to which he replied in the negative, and at the same time threw a paper containingtobacco overboard. He searched the prisoner and found suspended round his neck three papers, each con taining a half-pound of tobacco, and in his hat another paper containing a half-pound of tobacco ; making in all 2} lbs. The value and duty was about 30s. The prisoner acknowledged his guilt, and Mr. Yardley fined him 40s. A GREAT NUISANCE.—EIIen Crawley, a wretched-look ing woman, with her eyes swollen and blackened, bloated face, and hair hanging loosely about her face and neck, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with creating a dis turbance opposite the Court, and breaking a pane of glass in the window of the Prince of Wales publichouse, in Arbour-street East, Stepney. On Saturday morning the prisoner's landlord, a most consummate scoundrel and thief, named Willis, of No. 8, Bluegate-fields, Shad well, and a female named Maloney, were charged at this court with assaulting and plundering an Austro-Italian seaman, and they were remanded. The prisoner, who is strongly suspected of having been concerned n the robbery—one of the most audacious ever perpetrated —lived in the same house, and came to look after the fate of the two thieves, and got very much excited. She left the court for a short time, and returned in a half-drunken state and, made a disturbance in the passage of the court. She was expelled from the building, and then crossed the road, went into the Prince of Wales public-house and demanded liquor. Mr. Preece, jun., the landlord, refused to serve her, and she gave utterance to a volley of foul abuse. He ejected her from the house, and she then pulled off her shoe and smashed a large pane of glass. Roche, the gaoler of the court, and Mills, a police-con stable, No. 306 K, said the prisoner 'was a foul-mouthed and very disorderly woman. Mr. Yardley sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned in the House of Correction for one month, and kept to hard labour. DISCOVERY OF A LARGE QUANTITY OF ANCIENT COIN ON THE PRINCE CONSORT'S FARM.--A field called the hospital field, belonging to the Shaw farm estate, in the possession of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, and abutting on the Long Walk, has recently undergone the process of thorough draining, the earth afterwards turned in, and the ground rolled. Three boys were subsequently employed to collect.the loose stones, when on Friday last one of them picked up something on the surface of the re cently removed earth, which appeared to them to be a lump of lead, and they were about to dispose of it as such, but upon further investigation it proved to be a leaden case con taming upwards of 150 pieces of silver coin, prineipallyhalf crowns, of the reigns of Elizabeth, James 1., and Charles 1., most of them being in admirable preservation. The boys divided the coin among themselves, but on the discovery becoming known to Mr. Tait, the steward of his Royal Highness, the coins were collected and forwarded to her Majesty, and the lads suitably rewarded. THE LIVERPOOL BATHS AND WASHHOUSES.—At the council meeting, held on Wednesday, the following statistics respecting the Liverpool corporation baths and wash-houses were read :—The Cornwallis •street baths had been used during the quarter by 15,427 males, 1,276 females; total, 16,763. The St. George's Pierhead baths had been used by 4,203 males, and 215 females; total, 4,418 The Paul-street baths were patronised by 4,490 persons, of whom ' 4,196 were males and 294 females ; making a grand total of 25,611 for the qUarter, showing an increase of 3,387, of which 2,598 were to be put down to Cornwallis-street , 763 to St. George's baths; and 26 to c Paul-street. The Frede rick-street washhouse had been used during the present (first) quarter by 7,225, and by onl y 4,664 in the corres ponding quarter of last year, showing an increase in favour of this year of 2,561 washers, and £54 Os. Bd. in mow. THE ITALIAN QUESTION. , The Italian question will again be brought this evening before both Houses of Parliament. What, we again ask, the Italian question? The answer is extremely simple. The occupation of Central Italy by foreign troops has brought Europe to the brink of evil. This is the evil, nor will it be difficult to arrive at the remedy if we only keep on that straight line in politics which is always the short6st distance between two given points. There is no necessity . for despatching couriers all over Europe, and keeping a hundred telegraph wires in motion during the next, as has been done during the last three months, and all to secure an end whi c h may be at once attained in 24 hours. The Italian question has two phases. There is he question of foreign influence, and that of internal reform. The first has become a European danger, and must therefore engage the attention of the great Powers ; the second had infinitely better be left to the Italians themselves. Let the Congress meet without delay, and let Austria, France, and Sardinia simply engage--the two first Powers to withdraw all troops, the last to send none south of the Po. Let the engagement to withdraw be solemnly guarded by the further engagement never to send them back. This is the one necessary basis —the single and simple principle for the Congress to establish. It might be settled in one, at most in two sittings. Why, then, should the question be complicated ? Why must the Congress undertake the never-ending, still-beginning labour of framing Reform Bills for the separate Italian States ? It would be an impossible, and utterly endless task. Whether Rome is to have a constitution or a con sulta—whether Naples and Tuscany shall re establish the constitution of 1848—what adminis trative reforms are required at Modena and Parma ; all these questions must be left to the inhabitants of these separate States to deal with as they think fit. What the Congress can and ought to effect at once is the removal of that obstacle by which reforms are impeded. They complain of the foreigner's presence. Let him withdraw. States hitherto independent and sovereign but in name will at once become so in fact. The great Powers may give them the friendly counsel to employ aright their independence, but with this counsel their interfence should begin and end. This, is the plain, practical common sense view of the question. We regret to say that we recognise neither plainness, practicability, nor common sense in all this pother about disarmameuts. This is simply putting the cart before the horse ; and when so long-headed a statesman as Count Buol does so, the natural presumption is that he does not intend to move at all. Russia only gave utterance to the rational view of the affair in the remark that dis armaments commonly happen as the consequence, not as the causes, of a Congress. A disarmament is the logical sequence of an amicable arrangement ; let the arrangement be made without delay, and the disarmament will follow. To discuss the time, terms, and proportions of a disarmament before the arrangements is the sure way to retard, perhaps wholly to impede, its realisation. We are greatly mistaken if the solution at which we have hinted be not the only one compatible both with the interests of Italy and the peace of Europe. We are sure that it is the only one compatible with the dignity of England. We cannot be parties to any violation of the faith of treaties. But within these treaties Italy must belong to the Italians. It is most important for the. character of our people in the eyes of Europe that this evening's opportunity should not be lost—that by the voices of independent members, as well as of our party chiefs, England should emphatically declare that her policy, whilst a policy of peace, is far re moved from being a policy of indifference. Our Tuscan correspondent refers to the impression that has sprung up in Italy of our diplomatic efforts leaning too much to the side of Austria. Austria herself, doubtless, has done all in her power to en courage such a belief. It has received but too much colour from the Indecision of Lord Malmesbury, and it has not been so thoroughly discredited as it otherwise might have been by those frank expres sions of national opinion which other countries naturally expect to hear from the representatives of the British people. The reasons of this reserve hate been obvious. In hitherto leaving to Lord Palmerston and Lord John Russell the task of eliciting from Government the necessary information on the Italian question, the House of Commons has felt that. statesmen who had already wielded, and might again wield, the power of England, would beware of hazarding by a single heedless word the slightest chance of peace. But the severe self-restraint in this discretion of the British Senate must not be misunderstood. Parlia ment is a High Council of the Crown as well as a Representative Assembly of the People ; it would abdicate the functions required from it in either character should it separate without giving a dis tinct utterance to its views on the course of policy whiCh the Ministers of the Crown are bound to pursue, and which the People, whom Parliament represents, will alone approve of. There is the greater need that this utterance be most distinctly and emphatically made, as our pre sent position of mediator possesses, in many respects, a most invidious character. Our own national interests—the interests of our commerce—point already to peace. - The English statesman, of what ever party, who should neglect the promotion of these interests, would be guilty of a gross betrayal of his trust. The Italian people at the present moment hope in war, and in war alone, for the security of civil liberty and the acquisition of national independence. It is quite possible, nay, it is extremely probable, that these expectations might not be realised—that neither freedom nor independence might come forth from a European conflict. It is quite possible, nay, highly probable, that a pacific settlement of Italy would, if heartily and honestly realised, effect greater benefits than could be carved out by the sword. But there must be no mistake as to our determination to secure for Italy those blessings by means of peace, whilst questioning the expediency of contending for them by means of war. Still less must there exist even the shadow of a shade of doubt that in our desire to secure peace we are willing to sacrifice Italian interests to our own.—Morning Post. LORD JOHN _RUSSELL AND TILE CITY .ELECTION. (From the Morning Herald.) Lord John Russell has not only issued a pro gramme, he has now once more addressed himself to a task, for the due perfomance of which a long and continuous practice has rendered him eminently qualified. It is very often our misfortune to differ from the opinions expressed by this noble lord, and to stigmatise with a certain severity the course which it has pleased him to adopt in the discharge of his duties as a member of the House of Commons. But we have seldom failed to notice the remarkable perseverance with which, on every possible occasion, he indulges the public curiosity with a succinct and self-laudatory narrative of his own life and adven tures. A distinguished German philosopher tells us in one of his best known works that, as a general rule, the world accepts a man at his own valuation. "Respect yourself," he observes, "and others will respect you." Never hide your candle under a bushel, for 3 - our neighbours will let it lie there long enough unless you take the trouble of bringing it out and putting it in a conspicuous place. Lord John Russell's whole life has been. an illustration of this precept. He even forestalls criticism. He saves us the trouble of exercising an independent judgment, and, like a chorus in a Greek play, takes upon himself to "point the moral" of his own life, and to account for political freaks of which simple mortals like ourselves must otherwise have had recourse to other explanations. The last occasion on which this veteran politi cian came forward in his " Weil-known character" was at a " preliminrry conference of the Liberal Electors' Committees and of the friends of the . Reform candidates," which took place on Friday last at the London Tavern. We will not stop to point out a very obvious objection to the designation assumed by the Liberal Electors' Committees, but merely state that, then and there did the present members for the City, appear before a few hundreds of the metropolitan electors, in order to give account of their doings or misdoings during the period that , has elapsed since the general election of 1857. Lord John Russell, however, was the chief spokesman. The other members retired with becoming modesty before the self-styled champion of Parliamentary Reform and the famous Cabinet-killer of the day. We might excuse a candidate for Parliamentary honours for not introducing much variety of topics into an election speech. The truth is that every possible subject on which a candidate rnay be ex pected to dilate has been thoroughly exhausted. There is nothing new under the sun to be said about Parliamentary Reform. During its late stormy pas sage through the House of Commons that unhappy question has been so thoroughly sifted, so riddled, so torn to shreds, sotortured, so ill used, that it would be an act of atrocious cruelty to make it run the gaunt let of every hustings in the kingdom. But to Lord J. Russell the reform question is ever young and ever fresh. He is never weary of talking about it, because it furnishes him with an opportunity of re curring to that subject in the elucidation of which he stands pre-eminent—the story of his own life. And so it came to pass on Friday last. So it was the gentlemen who met at the London Tavern in the hope of gleaning some pbsitive information as to the political opinions of Lord John Russell were doomed to pass two mortal hours in listening to an oft-told tale, familiar to them all as A B C. The narrative commences at a somewhat remote epoch, though it is brought . down to the latest tele gram from Viminl, and it may be said to be " con spicuous by the absence" of anything very new or very interesting. We are told—we have heard it more than once before—that the Conservative Go vernment were deeply indebted to their opponents for the unexampled forbearance shown them during the period they have held office. They are accused of having adopted the views of those who preceded them in office, of having shown an extraordinary readiness to concede theiro*n opinions to the dic tation of a formidable Opposition, to give in when they were likely to be beaten, to make themselves,. in short, the servants of the House of Commons. Then, of course, we have a repetition of the well known charge that the Conservatives had no right to meddle with reform ; that this 'question had been long ago appropriated by the Whigs ; and that having dared to play with edged tools they must undergo the consequence of their rashness. When we have added that the narrative is concluded by a few sentences about the right of Italy to manage her own affairs—a point on which most Englishmen are agreed—we have given the sum and substance of Lord John Russell's latest edition of his autobiography. This is all that a distinguished statesman, who commands at least one section of the Opposition in the House of Commons, has to bring forward against Lord Derby's Administration: this is all the excuse he has to offer for having thrown the whole country into confusion, for having disturbed trade, and done all that in him lay to thwart and impede the action of Government at a moment when it was essential to the tranquillity of Europe that Ministers should be left free to prosecute their laudable efforts for the preservation of peace. Whatever may . be thought throughout the country as to the merits or demerits of the Derby Reform Bill, a verdict of disapprobation—all but unanimous—has been pro nounced against the conduct of that political leader who chose a moment, certainly critical, for the exhibition of that factious restlessness which has marked his political career. Let it be granted that Lord Derby undertook to carry on the Queen's Government with a minority on his side in the House of Commons. Is it not to his honour, and to the honour of those who sat with him, that he boldly seized the helm of the state when others shrunk from the task incapable or dismayed. Lord Derby knew the disadvantages under which he laboured ; and it was only at a difficult crisis, and when, in obedience to Lord John Russell, the House of Commons had glaringly violated a solemn pledge, that the Prime Minister was driven to ap peal to the great tribunal of the people of England. Since the House of Commons has refused to consider with calm impartiality the measure of Reform in troduced by the Government, Lord Derby throws himself with confidence upon the loyalty and patriotism of his countrymen. We ask the electors for the City of London to consider these things with serious attention. It is very far from our desire to see the election about to take place in the metropolis converted into an ordinary party struggle between Conservatives and Liberals. It was with too much truth that Sir John Pakington observed the other day on the growing want of confidence in our chief public men. We are not sure of them ; we cannot trust them as we wish to do. No greater calamity than this could befall this country. So soon as we cease to believe that the chief men in the State are fearless in their policy, and without reproach in the administration of public affairs, so soon will a fatal blow have been struck against the splendid but delicate fabric of the British constitution. Strong enough to have withstood the most formidable shocks, it has, like the Grecian hero, a vulnerable point. It is no small thing that our public men should be un corrupted and incorruptible, that the House of Commons would eject a man on whom the breath of so foul a suspicion had blown ; but it is also essential to the stability, the well-doing, aye, to the very existence of Parliament, that men who act as party leaders should not condescend to paltry, miserable, unworthy dodges for the sake of achiev ing a party triumph. The question that ought to be asked in a few days at every hustings in Eng land, Ireland, and Scotland , is this, and we ca ll upon the electors for the City of London to set the example. This is no question between Whiggism and Conservatism. It rests upon a much broader basis, and concerns allwho think it of some moment that a high-toned morality should reign among our K pu i b n l g ic do m m en to . d l e t ci i d s e ftohristhmeaettleerc.torsTohfethlluseoUne ofited Commons is at a dead lock, and the country is now to be asked on what principles public business is to be conducted.

REMINISCENCES OF WILLIAM PITT.—In the obi tuary of last week was recorded the death of Mr. John Bur field, of Deal, formerly gardener, aged 88 years. In early life he had in this capacity lived at Walmer Castle, during its occupancy by Mr. Pitt, then Prime Minister, of whom the old man would relate many interesting anecdotes. On being admitted to the household ho was apprised that his bedroom was so situated that he would probably , be dis turbed by the sounds sometimes to be heard from his mas ter's chambers, of which he soon had audible proof. Dur ing the silent hours of darkness the great man would rise from his repose ' and pacing his room, appear to be deliver ing a speech in the most impassionedmanner, his prepara tion, in all probability, for a coming conflict in Parliament. The gardens at the rear of the castle were at this time newly laid out, Mr. Pitt taking much interest in the alteration, and giving personal directions ; but in the midst of somethose he would become absent, walking to and fro for ) time in silence, and then (as one aroused h f a ro t ave hadre raest resume his sup . erintendence, inquiring Iv_ a t v m an en d t hir h i fe . la to la d un ist ed ur . b h p is un m sition and the most incidents, they show that the liThest Po. extended influence cannot be e li n es °Y the head that wears a ng aste s r u b eh y ainntienrvvalisryß.

THE LATE MARQUIS OF WATERFORD.—It is in tended to erect a monument to the late Marquis of Water ford, and the subject has been referred to the Earl of Howth, Lord St. Lawrence, and Lord Ingestre. One idea that has been suggested is the erection of a bronze equestrian statue, which would cost about £1,500, in the demesne of Curragh more. Another is, erecting such a monument in the centre of the People's-park, in this city ; while a third is to imi tate the example lately set in the Wellington memorial, and raise funds to build and endow an institution for the relief of jockeys or huntsmen who are disabled by accident, or overtaken by old age. Which of the three will be adopted we are not as yet informed, but the latter would be more CeneCileat with the spirit of toe agos,rjVatcrfOrd gaff.
