The Queen of the Gipics we found shrewd, )'''rlsible, and good-humoured, and particularly proud of her ksition. She spoke in the Scotch tongue, and a ready and 14 1 , °t ungraceful speech she has. She has an intelligent, well formed f ace , o f a dark div e complexion—the true gipsy 15u ' r e, and her eyes are dark an sharp. She is of the full or dinary height, and her gait, though her years are some ;here about fifty-five, i? free and erect, and her feet and like those of most gipsics, are particularly well was She bas a family, and when we met wit h her she as accompanied by the Princess Royal, a blooming wench P r tw enty summers. We remarked to the Queen that the incess looked healthy—a vulgar thing, we are aware, to s°t° pastaroyalt. But her majesty very heartily said, " 'Deed 134 e 8 de iegro, aside- Vera' and hore, ender wife, ;inist. ? waS Bible. tain's nded ished.

This was an action to recover £ll damages to a patens safety cab, through the alleged negligence of the defen dants' car-di iver. 4 6 1031 1041 p 20t 203 Us 100 Mr. Bury Hutchinson, for the plaintiff, called his client, and a witness, from whose testimony it appeared that on the 27th July last,' a cab belonging to plaintiff, having a fare inside, was proceeding down the Bayswater-road, near, but not on the Marble Arch-street Railway Companies rails. A car belonging to the company came along at a rapid pace, and, as a considerable portion pro jected over the rails, a collision ensued, the re sult of which was that the car was knocked off the rails, while the cab was dashed on five and twenty yards, the fare being thrown out, of course, very much frightened. Application was made to the offices of the defendants in Cannon-street, and after wards to Bayswater. The cab was smashed all to pieces, and taken home in a cart. lO2f If 101 4 It was remarked that no one appeared for the company, and Mr. Hutchinson said that in consequence of recent in dictments it was neatly finished up. His Honour was in considerable doubt as to the proof of the liability of the company, observing that Mr. Train's admission had no power to bind the limited company. A witness—Mr. Train is the holder of 200 £5O shares. His Honour said that plaintiff could have a verdict, but there was considerable difficulty about getting the money. Verdict for plaintiff.

John Cooke, letthteerpsroorpteerrt,ywoaf h s indicted letter Gcontaining coin, ' was engaged i n prepar i ng letters for deli.. e The ner aprisoner Postmaster- General. c very in the East Central-office, and it was alleged by one of the officers of the Post -office who had, for cer tain reasons, been set on to watch the letter sorters, that the prisoner went out of his way to remove a heap of letters, and during th e time he was so engaged he was seen to secret a letter in his coat pocket. The letter, bearing the St. Colomb post-mark of the 11th of March, was found on the prisoner's person, and when he was accused of the robbery he at once denied it, and said that some one who had an ill-feeling towards him had put the letter into his pocket. On the prisoner's residence being searched a large sum of money was discovered, and he accounted for the possession of it by stating that he had earned it in Australia previous to his entering the service of the Post-office. On his return to England he said he was anxious to purchase a house, and in order to preserve the money he had already amassed he took the first situa tion offered, viz., a sorter in the Post-office. Sergeant Ballantine made a very strong a pp ea l t o th e jury in favour of the prisoner, and a great number of per sons were called who gave the prisoner a very high charac ter for honesty. The learned judge having summed up the evidence, the jury found the prisoner guilty, but recommended him to mercy on the ground of his previous good character. The learned judge sentenced,him to four years' penal ser vitude. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER AGAINST A SURGEON. Frederick Robinson, surgeon, was indicted for killing and slaying Elizabeth Craze. _ Mr. Clark appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh defended the prisoner. The first witness examined was Jane Nicholay, residing at 6, F arnham-place, Ser mon's-lane, who said I am a midwife. I knew the deceased woman Craze. I first saw her on the 4th of March, in her house at 114, Eastfield-street, Lincoln's Inn-fields. The child was born about half-past twelve the same Right. Sarah Skeles was present. After the birth I found it ne cessary to send for medical aid, and Dr. Robinson, the parish surgeon, was sent for. After some delay, he arrived, se he had, refused in the first instance to attend without an order. I got the order, and then he came about half-past two. I told Dr. Robinson of the condition of deceased, and soon after he had commenced to treat the woman, she commenced to scream in a most alarming manner. I saw him wind some of what I considered to be the intestines three times round his hand, and then I exclaimed, " Oh, Dr. Robinson." He called for a pair of scissors, and sepa rated them from deceased. He directed Mrs. Skeles to throw that which he had cut away down the water closet. Skeles went out of the room to do so, but did not, as the Dr. was washing his hands. Previous to his leaving he said it was all right, but that the woman would die. After he left the woman began to sink. Skeles went with Dr. Robinson to get a draught for the deceased. I went to Dr. Robinson a short time after to tell him the condition of the woman, and then I told him that Skeles had said it was not the afterbirth that he had taken away, and he said, " Oh, bosh." He said he would come and see the woman again. While I was at his dispensary he asked me to put away what he called the placenta. I refused. On a second occasion he asked me if I had destroyed "that," and I told him I had not, and that I should not do so. He said, " Oh, very well, let me know how the woman is doing to-day.' The poor woman died in about 36 hours after the operation. The witness was subjected to a long cross-examination to show that she administered a quantity of ergot of rye improperly to the deceased. She admitted that 10 grains would be a proper dose, but the quantity she gave the deceased was a teaspoonful. She also denied that she told Dr. Robinson, on the occasion that she went for him, that if he did not make haste the woman would die. A police man was standing near her when she was speaking to Dr. Robinson, but she did not know whether he heard what she said. She was certain that the deceased Nit oman must have heard him say that she must die. The case was proceeding when we went to press. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Wilde.) THE RUSSIAN BANK NOTE FORGERY. Chlom Reichberg, Abraham Rosenberg, and Koffman Weber were this morning indicted for assisting the pri soners who were convicted yesterday in conspiring to pro cure certain plates and other materials for the manufacture of fictitious rouble notes of the Bank of Rtiss;a. The facts connected with the case have so often been before the public that it is unnecessary to repeat them. The jury found all the prisoners guilty. Josephson and Harwitz were then placed with the other prisoners for sentence. Mr. Justice Wilde sentenced Reichberg and Rosenberg to 8 years, and Horwitz, Josephson, ani Weber to 6 years' penal servitude. THIRD COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) BURGLARY. James Barrett was indicted for feloniously and burgle riously breaking and entering a dwelling •house, in com pany with three others, and stealing therefrom 40 yards of calico, of the value of £3, the property of Richard Crouch. The jury, without the slightest hesitation, found the prisoner guilty. The Common Sergeant, previous to passing sentence, asked if anything was known of the prisoner. One of the warders of the gaol said the prisoner had been convicted a great number of times during the last three or four years. He then read a list of about twelve terms of im prisonment which the prisoner had undergone, mentioning, at the conclusion, that he once had been discharged from custody by the Grand Jury ignoring the indictment that had been preferred against him. The Common Sergeant said the prisoner was a most dan wgeoruoluds,taka welltake carp h a s expensive e shouid no t 7eonfutrothethr trouble for somee country. H e time to coma. He therefore ordered him to be kept in penal servitude for the period of seven years. During the time the judge was addressing the prisoner, ha appeared quite indifferent to the o bservations, and turn ing round to Lockyer, the officer who stood near, said, " This is all owing to your talking."

They have an intelligent physiognomy, tnotveryhiek, the prepossessi ng; eyes obli and flat, the lips qu e , head large. Their hair, of a jet black, is raised up on the head, which gives the younger portion of them a rather feminine appearance when seen from behind. Several of them have the head completely shaved, but none have the slightest appearance of a beard on the face. They are gene rally dressed simply i n garments of dark colours, and with little ornament. They wear a silk tunic, trousers, of white muslin, and sandals of yellow leather. They all wear in their waistbelt a dagger more or le ss r i c hly c h ase d, according to thei r ran k or dignity.

They usually drink liqueurs and rice water ; and as regards food the prefer boiled poultry, They sit at table, use knives and forks, and season everything they eat with pepper and spice. They are remarkably clean in their manner of eating, as well as in their daily habits. They do not appear to be at all annoyed at the curiosity which they excite. They appeared astonished at the princely luxury of the hotel at which they have alighted, and where they occupy the splendid apartments on the first floor. In the evening every part was lighted up in the most brilliant manner, and an immense crowd collected in front of the house." FOREIGN RAIL" Ilgerian Antwerp & Rotterdum. Ardennes.... .......

THE BRAZILIAN GlRL.—Camille Rosa, the native of Rio Janeiro, Brazil, and who, it may be remembered, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt about two months ago with annoying gentlemen in the streets, was yesterday sent to Southampton in company of Welsh, the office keeper of the court, the funds for her passage having been provided through the kindness of the worthy magistrate, the Brazi lian Consul, and generous donors. A passage being secured ) for her, she will sail forthwith for her native place. Prior 1 to her leaving some assistance was provided for her, and she expressed her deepest gratitude to the magistrate (through Mr. Charles Albert, the interpreter, and at whose intercession she has at length been restored to her home), and to Mr. Mackay, the master of St. James's Workhouse, where she has been domiciled and most kindly treated for some weeks. It is only due to the girl to state that she has conducted herself since she has been at the workhouse in a very becoming manner. The procuress who brought her to this country has since fled, and taken up her abode at Havre, STEALING A SOLDIER'S MEDAL.—Thomas Such, a bootmaker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a Turkish medal frem Thomas Fusicr, a private in the Scots Fusilier Guards. The prosecutor said he was in a tavern near Seven-dials the previous evening, and happened to drop the Turkish medal, The prisoner picked it up, and, before he could prevent it, handed it over his shoulder to another man, who immediately made off. Seeing that ho should not be able to secure the man, he seized the prisoner and detained him till a constable arrived, and then gave him into custody. If the prisoner was remanded he should be able to bring witnesses who saw him hand the medal to the:other man. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l believe it is a military offence to lose a medal P Prosecutor—lt is, sir. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Prisoner, you will be remanded, and if you have been convicted before, you will go to the sessions. It was said the prisoner had been before at this court, but it was not stated what for. THAMES. CRUEL ROBBERY.—Wilhelm Fuchs, a German shoe maker, was brought up on remand before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 13 pairs of boots, the property of his countryman, Ludwig Becker. The prosecutor has been for some time employed by a respectable firm in the city to make up boots and shoes for them, and large quantities of leather and other materials had been entrusted to him, and always punctually returned. He entrusted the prisoner with the materials of 13 pairs of boots to make up, and they were not returned at the proper time. Inquiries were made by Becker, and he ascertained that he had pawned one pair of boots at a " leaving shop" kept by a Jew in the New-road, St. George's, on Sunday night, the 30th of March, and it was explained that the proprietors of those dreadful nuisances, called' leaving shops, were mostly Jews and foreigners, who did business to a great extent on the Christian Sabbath, while the regular licensed pawnbrokers were closed. The pri soner had sold two other pairs of boots " right out," as it was termed, and the others could not be traced. The whole of the loss would fall upon poor Becker, who was repre sented to be a very industrious man. The prisoner had made an offer, if he was liberated, to show where he had pawned the other boots, but this of course was not acceded to. He treated the charge with great indifference, and was represented to be a dissipated fellow. Mr. Woolrych decided that the charge of stealing could not be sustained, and convicted the prisoner of unlawfully pawning goods entrusted to him, and sentenced him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. THE FRUITS OF PROFLIGACY AND CRINE.—A young and care-worn looking woman, named Mary Russell, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with attempting to commit suicide. After some evidence had been given by the constable and the mother of the girl, Mr. Woolrych delivered a feeling address to the young woman : and said the mother's statement was a very shock ing one indeed. The prisoner had led a profligate life, and this was the result—poverty, disease, depression, and finally an attempt to take away her own life. It was a most wicked and dreadful thing to attempt self-destruction. He hoped the prisoner was sorry for the rash and foolish attempt on her life. The prisoner (sobbing)—l am, sir. Mr. Woolrych asked the mother if she would take her daughter home. The mother—Certainly I will, sir. Mr. Woolrych hoped the prisoner was truly penitent, and would lead a better life in future. He asked her if she would go home with her mother and lead a good life. The prisoner —I will, sir. Mr. Woolrych—Then I will discharge you. Go home with your mother. IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY. The adjourned debate on the Catholic University, in the Dublin Corporation, was resumed yesterday. It occupied the whole day. The amendment, " That it is outside the functions of the Council to discuss questions of this kind," was rejected by a large majority. The numbers were—for, 10; against, 28. The resolution of Alderman Darcy was then adopted. A memorial in favour of a charter to the Catholic University will be presented to the Government by a deputation from the Corporation. It has not yet been decided whether they will go in their robes, after the example of the Corporation of Limerick. The Lord Lieutenant will, of course, answer as he did before, and state that the Government cannot give their support to an exclusive system of educa tion. The systeM in this " University" is as much under the control ofthe Roman Catholic prelates as Maynooth itself. To give it a charter would be to give the hierarchy the key of the learned profes sions, so far as the Roman Catholics are concerned. The pressure of this power upon the laity is already felt to be very oppressive; but silent, passive re sistance, is all they can venture to oppose to it. The Catholic University would turn out as doctors and lawyers a body of men little better than lay monks, educated in the narrowest spirit of sectarianism ; they would be supported by a system of exclu sive dealing. As the students would be trained in the most submissive spirit, there could be nothing like independent inquiry in morals or history, or in any domain of thought over which the Church has been pleased to extend her crozier. The Government would, therefore, stultify itself by giving this charter. It would be a decidedly re trograde movement, a policy of separation and social disorganisation. There is now no demand for funds to endow the University ; but this would shortly follow the charter, as it natural consequence. There are a number of diocesan semi naries connected with the Roman Catholic Church in Ireland, all of which are being connected with the Catholic University. Three of them have been affiliated with the London University. They might with equal consistency be affiliated with the Queen's University of Ireland, for the purpose of obtaining degrees. They might have called the institution in Stephen's-green a college for the education of laymen, and been content to take their degrees from the Queen's University. Pos sibly a compromise of this kind may yet be effected. The movement, however, that has forced the question into the Corporation was not spon taneous. It shows what a few individuals may effect by organization, canvassing, and perseverance. The laity are almost passive in the matter. But, even should they be excited into temporary fanati cism by the efforts of a few individuals officially connected with the Catholic University, the feeling of the Liberal party in this country is that it would be great weakness on the part of the Government to give way. If they did, they would take the key stone out of the arch of the liberal policy which the Legislature has been laboriously building for the last quarter of a century. - -- The Belfast Newsletter mentions the following extraordinary occurrence :---,, A few days since there was found on Trostan Mountain, county An trim, a man's head, no other remains being visible in the neighbourhood. The head was brought to the district constabulary station, where it was ex amined by Dr. Stone. Diligent search bas been made, but no part of the trunk or limbs has been discovered, nor is there any person missing in the neighbourhood. The case is completely enveloped in mystery. A LONG BILL.—The longest bill of the session has just been read a second time. It has no less than 438 sections, and occupies 158 folio pages. It contains a muni cipal code for the Scotch burghs, and some of the clauses are remarkable. Not keeping one's area " clear of all rub bish "is defined as an offence. "Hanging or placing any linen or clothes on any rail or fence of any premises" is another, and so is permitting a servant to stand on the sill of an upstairs window to clean it, but in both instances only if done to the obstruction, annoyance, or danger of residents or passengers. A fourth offence may be men tioned for the benefit of man and beast, if it will not offend ears polite : "It shall not be lawful to deposit any horse or cow dung upon the public street." Whether the bill is wholly consolidation of existing law, or partly novel, it is to be wished that Scotland may get it observed. SPORTING-THIS DAY. EPSOM RACES. THIS DAY. lIY ELECTRIC TELEGRIEH.

At the next fence Pineaple fell on landing, the others going on as before. Willoughby now took a decided lead, and increased the pace, which extinguished the hopes of Xanthus. Pullaway swerved against the Ace of Hearts at the drop fence and knocked him down, and on coming into the large field, on the far side, Willoughby, Hermit, Black Rose, and the Grey lay in front, Pullaway, Penarth, and. Medora being about six lengths behind them. At the water jump, Willoughby, the Grey, Rose, and Hermit came to gether, and the latter fell. Xanthus and Ace of Hearts pulled up. They then disappeared, and on reaching the far side Yorkshire Grey fell. At the fence beyond the large field I Black Rose fell heavily and broke her thigh.

The SPEAKER took the chair at 10 minutes past twelve o'clock. PETITIONS. Several petitions were presented in favour of an altera tion in the present law of licensing public-houses, and in support of the Metropolitan Local Management Act. CLERGY RELIEF BILL. Mr. BOUVERIE, on moving the order of the day for the second reading of this bill, said that the object of the bill was to remedy what was admitted on all hands as an evil. During late years a great number of those who had entered orders in the Church of England had changed their religious opinions, and had thought it their duty to resign their benefices. He referred to the case of such men as Archdeacon Manning, Baptist Noel, and Archdeacon Woodhouse. There was considerable ignorance in the public mind in reference to this subject, and it was not generally know n that persons entering holy orders for the Church of England were saturated with oaths of subscription. They were compelled by the Statute of Elizabeth to subscribe to the 39 articles, the oath of supremacy, and the oath of allegiance. It had happened frequently that an alteration took place in the minds of ecclesiastics as well as other persons, and in reference to the Book of Common Prayer they might cease to believe that it contained all that was true, though they had originally subscribed to that dogma of the Church. He drew atten tion to the fact that the Book of Common Prayer was formed with a view of excluding from the ministry of the Church of England some of the worthiest men of the time. He contended that clergymen who were desirous of seceding from the Church of England were placed under circumstances of great hardship, because they were not at liberty to become dissenting ministers, as was laid down in the case of Barnes v. Sh ore. This act of William and Mary was intended to relieve clergymen under such cir cumstances, but it was rendered imperative by other enact ments. A clergyman was prevented from becoming a barrister by the 6th canon of 1603, and in the case of a clergyman whose petition he had presented to the house, the benchers of the Middle Temple had refused him admis sion to their body in accordance with the provisions of that canon. A clergyman could not embrace any other lay occupation without being liable to prosecution in th e Ecclesiastical Court, and, on conviction, being sentenced to six months' imprisonment by the act of George 111., t passed in 1794. It a pp eare d, h owever , th a t cl erg y men of Church of E ng l an d m i g ht b ecome pr i es t s o f th e R oman Catholic Church with impunity, which he asserted , was a more anomalous state of things. Having adverted to the publication of the " Essays and Reviews," which he con sidered a work of no great ability, but which had the effect of introducing difference of opinion in the minds of members, of the Church of England, he said it was a great hardship to compel persons to remain in the ministry of that Church when they desired to be released from their sacred func tions. The object of this bill was to facilitate the release of persons from such functions, when it was according to their wish to be exempted from them, which, he contended, would promote the purity and prosperity of the Church of England. He was aware that the object which he proposed by this measure was one of great difficulty and delicacy, and, as he was only desirous of securing proper legislation on this important subject, he would not, if agreable to the house, refuse to refer the bill to a select committee. (Hear.. hear.) He concluded by moving the second reading of the bill. Sir H. HEAT HCOTE—who had an amendment on the paper, to the effect that in the event of the bill being read a second time he could move its being referred to a select committee—said that he would not press that amendment after the concession that had been made the hon. member (Mr. Bouverie). He contended that the house ought to proceed with great caution before they con sented to an alteration in the existing law, which affected the inner life of an important religious community. He denied that the hon. member (Mr, Bouverie) had made out any case in support of his argu ment by reference to the writers of the "Essays and Re views," because these persons did not want to be released, from their functions, but assumed to themselves to be the Church itself. He considered that the bill would have to undergo great modifications in committee before it satisfied, the public mind, or effected the object which it proposed, (Hear, hear.) Mr. M. MILNES considered that an alteration in the existing law was requisite, but that the present bill would nct meet the case. He thought that the Church should be empowered to release clergymen from their functions with out branding them with degradation. Lord STANLEY supported the principle of the bill, and quoted a pamphlet by the Bishop of Exeter, published in 1849, commenting on the hardships of clergymen being coerced to remain in sacred orders in the Church of England, when their opinions had undergone an alteration. He thought it was most desirable, both on the ground of conscience and for the benefit of the Church itself, that such persons should not be retained in the ministry against their inclinations. As the bill was to be referred to a select com mittee, he would not offer it any opposition in its present stage, but he thought it required alteration before it could be efficient in obtaining the object for which it was intended. Mr. WALTER also supported the principle of the bill, on the ground that it was for the benefit of the Church itself. Men entered holy orders at an early age, and before they had opportunities of mixing with the world and test ing the soundness of their views on religious doctrines, and he considered it would be desirable if the Church en couraged persons to enter the ministry later in. life than they did at present. Mr. HUBBARD and Mr. NEWDEGATE opposed the 11 Sir G. GREY said as it was agreed that the bill should be referred to a select committee, he would not offer it any opposition at present. The bill was then read a second time, and referred to, a select committee. METROPOLITAN LOCAL MANAGEMENT ACTS AMENDMENT BILL. The house went into committee on this bill. Clauses 1 to 5 inclusive were agreed to. On clause 6, Mr. AYRTON complained that the provisions of the bill 0 f t a Metropolitantaxes, that Board board of assessment n this respect as bgeaivw.negotroiknos in v M es tl t C e . r h eds j pw n e d ict i th ela ttho l authority s t a h m or e it p y ow to er t he jus tices of the peace. He hoped that in regard to this matter the committee would adhere to the principle adopted by the house last session, in conformity with the recommendation of the select committee to whom it had been referred. He moved the omission of certain words of the clause. Mr. BRISTOW defended the clause, and said that its only object was to simplify the existing law by enabling the Metropolitan Board of Works to carry out their opera tions. After some desultory conversation, in the course of which Mr. BRISTOW stated that a clause similar to this had been fully considered by the select committee before whom all the parties interested were represented by counsel, and which had examined a number of witnesses, The amendment was withdrawn, and the clause was agreed to. On clause 7, Mr. AYRTON moved, as an amendment, the ir itrodue tion of words to the effect that the basis of assessmc :nt of the City of London should be the sewers rate. The amendment was negatived without a division, and the clause was agreed to. Clauses 8 to 11 inclusive were agreed to, On clause 15, Sir J. SHELLEY moved an amendment to the effect that certain words should be introduced in order to secure a more ef f ectual audit on the part of the Board of Works, which was agreed to. The other clauses to 23 were agreed to with some verbal amendments.
