Just published, DREAM LAN D. With other Poems. By W. CHARLES KENT. Barrister-at-Law. - Fcap. Bvo., price ss. " The author of DreamlanY and Aletheie has risen to a height so very close to the summit of genius, that he may be commiserated for ir s inability to grapple with the last peaks of its elevation. There is abundance of talent, a delicate taste, an endless richness and diversity of image, topic, and illusion : the landscape is most luxurious ; and the music of verse excellent."—Literary Budget. "Mr. Kent has undeniable merits—warm and high-toned feeling - , a pleasant combination of grace and humour, and no small power to individualise. Pope at Twickenham' is a cabinet picture. `Marianne' will commend itself to all mothers by its gush of parental tenderness, and its acquaint ance with baby wiles and mysteries. Fructidor' shows what Dutch fidelity of word painting the author can master when he tries. His fruit is as vivid and well characterised as if Lance had painted it."—Atheumum. "The charm of Mr. Kent's poetry, as it is the first condi tion of success to all poets, is that he is in sympathy with his subject and not only with himself ; that he is truly poet and not egotist. Bnt it is by no means his only merit. lie is a mas ter of versification. The flow or his verse is smooth and me lodious, and enriched with a copious and ornate vocabulary. 'Shelley at Marlow' is a painting exquisitely delicate. The vision of Shelley with which Mr. Kent presents us is almost perfect. 'DREAMLAND is a work conceiveem a noble spirit, and executed with scholarly taste, frequently with flashes of true poetic inspiration. fhe Dying Bridegroom' is distinguished by a genuine pathos, which leads us to be lieve that Mr. Kent would succeed eminently in some story of the affections."—The London Review. "Mr. Kent's poems come before the world with the advan tage, not only of an author's name, but of a name already agreeably and musically known in the metrical literature of the day. His 'Aletheia' was very favourably received by the public, and has no doubt been the companion of many thoughtful readers who will gladly welcome another volume from his pen. A series of portraits drawn with true poetic sympathy and veneration, The best of all, we think, is that of Scott. There is something in the lines that will remind the reader of the chime of Scott's own verse."—John Bull. " Verses, many of them extremely tender and harmonious, and all indicating a mind carefully cultured and imbued with elegant tastes."—Daily News. "Poems of very considerable excellence. Fructidor 'is a very close and vigorous word-painting of an orchard. Mr. Kent's volume is healthy and vigorous in sentiment, correct in composition, and contains many happy touches of true fancy, very gracefully expressed."—The Critic. "The pictures Mr. Kent makes are carefully drawn and effectively coloured. His work is on the whole in good taste. It possesses the undeniable, yet, in these days, rare merit of and is, moreover, very readable."—The Art- World. "We like some of Mr. Kent's minor poems even better than `Dreamland.' He is a real poet, unquestionably, and often versifies with extreme felicity. Of his poetic power the Monody on Lord Strangford ' affords ample proof : while his capacity to make word-music is shown in ' The Morris Dance s.' "—The Press. "It was a conception worthy of a true poet to show the depth of his sympathy for the Great Masters of English Song, by dev , ting the outpourings of his Muse to their special illustration. There is not one of the many pictures here collected which is not perfect in all its parts —whether we consider he sentiment by which it is inspired, the truth of the local colour, or the beauty of the setting. With a thorough appreciation of character, Mr. Kent combines an admirable descriptive power and a masterly command of most mellifluous verse, so that, while the mind is fully gratified, the senses—so to speak —are equally charmed."— Bentley's Miscellany.

The Prince of Wales and his suite left Jerusalem on Thursday, April 19, at 3 a.m., encamping at Bethel, and proceeding the following day by Shiloh to Nablous, arriving on the eve of the Samaritan Parsover. After visiting Jaeob's Well in the morn ing, the whole party ascended Mount Gerizim in the evening, and there witnessed this ancient cere mony, the only direct vestige of the Jewish Pass over. The whole Samaritan community were asson_ bled on a terrace just short of the summit. About an hour before sunset the prayers began, and six sheep, tended by young men in white garments, appeared among the crowd. As the sun sank behind the western ridge the young men burst into a wild chant, drew their long bright knives, and brandished them in the air. In a moment the sheep were thrown on their backs and the knives drawn across their throats. In the stream of blood which poured from them the young men dipped their fingers, and marked the forehead and noses of all the children , Next came the skinning and roasting—the first in a trough, the second in a hole prepared for the pur pose. The Prince and most of his suite returned to the tents, one or two remaining through the night on the mountain top to witness the " feast," which was eaten in haste in the early morning by the Samaritans, girded and shod and with staves in their hands. THE BA.RQUB STELLA. (OFFICIAL REPORT.) Sunday, April 13, the royal party remained at. Nablous, and Divine service-was performed in the tents by Professor Stanley, who preached on the Epistle for the day. From Nablous they descended from the hills of Samaria to the plains of Esdraelon and Megiddo, and encamped on the 15th at the foot of Mount Carmel, crossing the plains to Acre on the following day. Here the Prince was received by the Governor of Acre, the seashore being lined with troops. Proceeding over the hills of Galilee, they reached Nazareth by Good Friday, Professor Stan ley performing Divine service and preaching. On Saturday, April 19, half way between Mount Tabor and Tiberias, his Royal Highness was enter tained by a famous Bedouin chief, Agyle Aga, who had protected the Christians during the massacres of 1860. The repast was served in the Arab style, and the chief was much gratified by the Prince's visit. At sunset on Easter eve the first view of the Sea of Galilee broke upon the party. The tents were pitched by the old walls of Tiberias, on the very edge of the lake; and here, on Easter day, Professor Stanley, after the usual service and a sermon on St. Sohn xxi., administered the Holy Communion to all the party. On Menday, j April 21, they explored the shores of the lake northwards, and then mounted to Safed, where they passed the night. On the follow ing day they reached Kadesh Naphtali, whence they came down into the valley of the Lake of Me rom, and halted at midday on the hill of Dan, at the first source of the Jordan. The rest of the week was spent in crossing the plain of Abel Bethmaachach to the great crusading castle of Belport, and ex ploring the banks of the Litany. On Sunday, April 27, Divine service was as usual performed, at Ras heya, by Professor Stanley. On Monday they reached Damascus, all the authorities coming out to meet the Prince, who spent the following day in visiting the antiquities of the town and its bazaars.

BELFAST, MAY 23. lk u l g y la L ss o :RN„ Lords, Having, with the assistance of Capt. Do investigated the circumstances pre. ceding and attending the stranding of the barque Stella, of Greenock, at Craig-Brien Rock, on the coast of Down, near this port, on the 10th inst., I herewith enclose the minutes of evidence in the case, and I beg leave to submit t l h or e d f s e h l i l p ow w ingbrief observations thereupon for your conside ration. As the case does not involve any imputa tion or corrupt motive - or of wilful default on the part of the officers of the ship, I do not think it necessary to recapitulate the evidence or to trouble your lordships with any beyond a few passing re marks on the subject, and especially as in my opi nion the stranding of the vessel was the result of mere want of judgment in the master in not having made sufficient allowance for the effect of an ebb tide, which, from his chart and sailing directions, he should have made himself acquainted with, and also from his not having seen the importance of a more careful look-out kept for the shore lights. A good deal of the evidence refers to the state of the compasses, and I think the master should have seen that two of these instruments were on deck ; but, considering the nature of the channel, the state of the weather, and of the flood and ebb tides during his course, I do not attribute the casualty in ques tion to the state of the compasses on board, though, according to the result of their examination, they must have been exceedingly defective. Whatever fault the master may be charged with, that of wil ful neglect or indifference to his trust cannot fairly be alleged against him, inasmuch as he but rarely left the deck from his having left Greenock be tween 7 and 8 o'clock on the morning of the 10th inst., and the stranding of the ship at a quarter before 11 on the night of that day. Considering the small size of the Stella, of which I herewith enclose her description on form 219, Captain Douglass and I have been particularly struck by the apparent respectability and intelligence of both her master and mate, and the former has produced to us testimonials of his good character and profes sional knowledge of which any seaman might well be proud. He has been 11 years at sea, and has a master's certificate of competency, which is in the Stella, at Greenock, and is numbered 19,879, and which was granted to him in September, 1861. I cannot recommend that he should be held altogether blameless in this matter, but I humbly submit that a slight reprimand and a caution to be more care 'ill in future would meet all the requirements of the case.—l am, &c., WM. S. TRACY, Resident Magistrate. To the Right Hon. the Lords of the Privy Council for Trade. I entirely concur in the above report. S. F. DOUGLASS, Inspecting Commander and Nautical Assessor. THE ALLEGED MURDER IN DRURY- Yesterday Mr. Bedford, the coroner for West minster, hold an inquest at St. Martin's Vestry room, touching the death of Ann Gedling, aged 45, who expired under suspicious circumstances, on Friday last. John Guyon, 4, Bedford-street, Liquorpond street, identified the body as -that of his sister-in law. She was married to a man named John Ged- ling, a hawker; but she lived with another man in Whitehart-si:reet, Drury-lane. On Friday morn ing he heard that she had taken poison. He went to her room, and saw the man she lived with, John Lemon. Witness said it is a sad affair. He said, " Yes, it is ; Ann has taken poison." He said it was a liquid which he had. Samuel Lovett, 23, Stanhope-street, surgeon, said he had made a post-mortem examination of the body, and was satisfied that death was caused by cyanide of potassium. John Bampton, police-constable, said he was called in on Friday morning to deceased's lodgings. He saw the man, John Lemon, who said his wifo had taken poison. He said he was a smasher, or dealer in counterfeit coins, and she had taken some of the liquid he used in his business. He foun d blood on the woman's night-dress, and some on the the walls of the room. Ho also found the fiat-iron with blood upon it, which had been produced.

I 47, Corullill, Loudon E-C._ - - THE S[JN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENIAG, _MAY 28, 1862, IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS-YESTERDAY. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at the usual hour. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The St. Thomas's Hospital, Daventry Railway, Mary port and Carlisle Railway, Tewkesbury and Malvern Rail way, \Vern and Bronygarth Roads, Bradford, Wakefield, and Leeds Railway (further provisions), Scottish Northern Junction, and Hull South Bridge bills were read a second time. THIRD READINGS. The Dovey Reclamation, Weymouth and Portland Rail way and Extension to Harbour, and the St. Giles-in-the- Fields Disused Burial Ground Bills were read a third time and passed. THE SLAVE TRADE. Lord BROUGHAM brought the subject of the treaty with America for the suppression of the slave trade under the attention of their lordships, In reply to which Earl RUSSELL promised to make a statement on the matter on Friday next. 'ACT OF UNIFORMITY AMENDMENT BILL. Lord EBURY rose to move the second reading of this bill, which he considered one of great importance. He commenced by referring to steps he had taken on a former occ.ision to obtain a royal commission to consider the changes necessary in the liturgy, which for a period of two centuries had remained without alteration or modification. On the first night of the session he intrcduced two bills on the subject of the form of religious worship, but as they had been withdrawn he would not then make further reference than to say that at the proper time he should be perfectly ready to defend them. He was also fully aware of the extreme difficulty and delicacy that surrounded the present subject, especially as the terms of the Act of Uniformity had remained so long without alteration. According to the act as it at present stood, every clergyman appointed to a benefice was called upon to make a subscrip tion that he would conform to the liturgy, and that ho accepted everything contained in the Book of Common Prayer. Even with respect to the pre sent translation of the Bible, ho thought that such a declaration was too rigid, but with respect to the Book of Common Prayer, ho was convinced that if the act had to be passed over again not one of their lordships would be found to vindicate such an enactment. _ _ The Bishop of LONDON gave the noble lord credit for his intentions, and admitted that the bill was an improve ment upon its author's previous attempts at legislation. He thought, however, that it was so important a matter to dis turb an act which had existed for two centuries, that he hoped the noble lord would not divide the house upon it. The Bishop of ST. DAVID'S also opposed the bill, but suggested some less objectionable modification in the form of the declaration which the clergy were required to make. Lord LYTTELTON, whilst not opposed to a revision of the Liturgy, thought the bill of too sweeping a character to receive their lordships' assent. It would be most unwise to abolish the only security a congregation now possessed for the adherence of their clergy to the Book of Common Prayer without providing some substitute. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY pointed out the danger of liturgical revision at the present moment, and recommended that the bill should be withdrawn, in the hope that the clergy themselves might be induced to concur in some safe arrangement for giving relief to tender consciences. Earl RUSSELL contrasted the present age, remarkable for inquiry and the exercise of independent judgment, with the period in which these tests were adopted, when men banded together to obtain the emoluments of the Church whilst not believing in the doctrines which she taught. There were many men of Christian piety and zeal who in these days were unable to subscribe to the declaration en forced by this test, and it was a great misfortune that the Church should lose their services. The bill, however, went too far in that it abolished the only standard now existing in the Church by which the clergy were separated from the great body of Dissenters. The Bishop of OXFORD was of opinion that no greater injury could be inflicted upon the Church than to allow the clergy to receive her emoluments without declaring their. belief in her doctrines. He had no faith in the assertion that hundreds and thousands of young men were forced into dissent on account of their objection to this test. The noble lord who had introduced the bill was, in fact, trifling with a great subject, and it was a mistake to suppose that after a clergyman had subscribed the test ho was precluded from changing his opinions. Full liberty of conscience was allowed him, and if he saw cause to adopt views which were contrary to the doctrines of the Church it was only right that he should resign the office he held in it. After a few observations from the Bishop of SALIS BURY, the bill was withdrawn. The Leases, &c., by Incumbents Restriction Act Amend ment Bill, the Public-house (Scotland) Act Amendment Bill, and the Local Government Supplemental Bill were severally read a second time. Their lordships adjourned at a quarter-past eight. HOUSE OF COMMONS—YESTERDAY. The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following bills were read a third time and passed : Andover and Redbridge Railway—Liverpool Corporation Water—North-Eastern Railway (Team Valley Extension) —Salford Improvement—Stafford and Uttoxeter Railway —and Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway. The following bills were considered and ordered for third reading :—Aberdeen Police, Water, &c.—Glasgow Police—Mid waico irm S. &C.) —Tupton and Ashover and Birken Lane Roads—Wellington ana Cheshire Junction Railway—and West Riding, Hull, and Grimsby Railway. The Liverpool Firo Prevention Acts Amendment Bill was read a second time. buildings distinct from those already existing or sanctioned by Parliament, the estimates for the same should be sub mitted for the consideration of the house in a separate form, and at a separate time, from the annual estimates for cur rent expenditure. Sir G. LEWIS objected to the proposal, that, if carried out, an additional class of estimates would have to be pre pared, and that many questions would arise as to what were "new works or erections." The number of new works was very small indeed ; and the Government had every de sire to present the estimates in. the form most convenient for discussion; but he did not think any useful object would be served by complying with the suggestions made. The motion was wit hdrawn. INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION. Col. SYKES moved that in any system of education by Government aid provision should bo made for teaching in industrial schools ; and that, with a view to encourage evening study by adult operatives, provision should be made for supplying a teacher in such mechanics' institutes as might apply for one. The motion was opposed by Mr. LOWE, and ultimately withdrawn. . . to Tolurno, who came on with a slight lead, waited upon by Bloodhound, The Knave, and Olive Branch, the latter lying next the rails. On reaching the distance Bloodhound headed Mr. Parr's horse, and halfway up the pair were joined by the favourite and Olive Branch, the four, joining issue at the entrance of the stand enclosure, ran locked together to the end, and finished one of the finest races seen for some years. Olive Branch running the longest just landed her owner's colours by a short head, Tolurno being a head in advance of The Knave, who ran a dead heat with Blood hound for third place.

When the flag was lowered the favourite immediately rushed to the front, but on making the turn he was headed by Bright Cloud, who came on with a slight lead, closely followed by Escape, ZEtna, Lady Evelyn colt, and Oak Apple, the lot running in a cluster to the half distance, when Escape again ap peared in front, having /Etna at his girths. On reaching the Stand enclosure the favourite was beaten, and in a few strides after was headed by /Etna, but who was never enabled to roach Mr. Capel's colt, who won very easily by a length and a-half, /Etna defeating Escape by throe-parts of a length for second.

Rioter jumped away with a clear lead, waited upon by Redpole, Royal Sovereign, Churchman, and Jack-in-the- Box, Miss Rosa bringing up the rear. In this way they ran to the first turn, where the favourite ran widely, which led up Redpole, who came on with the running, Rioter going on second, Don John third, and Jack-in-the-Box, to the distance, where the favourite, full of running, again re sumed the command, was never after approached, and won in a trot by 20 lengths. Saracen was fourth, Montebello fifth, and Jack-in-the-box, all widely spread, and pulling up as they passed the post.

On Monday, at the Bromley police-court, before a bench of magistrates, the hearing of a case, " Weatherley v. Cowper," came on. It was a sum mons taken out by the prosecutor, charging the defendant with having on a certain day committed a trespass upon Chislehurst Common, in search and pursuit of game. The defendant pleaded first, not guilty; and, secondly, leave and license. Mr. Gibson appeared for the prosecution; Mr. Pearce (barrister) for the defendant. Mr. Gibson, in opening the case for the prosecu tion, stated that he in reality appeared on the part of Lord Sydney, the lord of the manor of Chisle hurst, who was the real prosecutor, although the summons was taken out in the name of Weatherly, who was ono of his lordship's watchers. The de fendant was a young gentleman, 18 years of age, the son of a gentleman occupying a farm on Lord Sydney's estate at Chislehurst, and the complaints occurred under the following circumstances :—On the 30th of April last, about half-past seven o'clock in the evening, the defendant was on Chislehurst Common with three dogs—viz., a greyhound, a spaniel, and a retriever. He carried a stick in his hand, with which he was striking the furze, with the intention, it was alleged, of starting a rabbit; and he was also encouraging his dogs, who were running about amonst the furze, to all appearance in search of game. At that time a gamekeeper of Lord Sydney's named Norton, came up, when the defendant left the common, and a summons was then taken out for a trespass in pursuit of game under the let and 2d Vict., entitled the Game Act. The opening was supported by a boy named Robert Clark and his uncle Norton. The boy swore that the defendant was in the furze some distance from the bridle road; that he had warned the defendant off the common, but he had refused to leave. In cross-examination he admitted that when the defendant was warned off he did every thing he could to call his dogs off. Norton was called, and swore that he saw the defendant beating the furze, and calling his dogs towards a bush which he had his foot upon. In cross-examination he ad mitted that no rabbit was caught. The defendant had no gin with him. He had quarrelled with the defendant's father some little time previous. He had not used insulting words to young ladies whilst they were with defendant. The magistrates thought Mr. Pearce could not go into those questions, because he had not given them any notice that he was going to prove malice. The defendant's case was supported by Mr. Wheden, an uncle of the defendant, who resided at Blackheath. He swore that on the day in question ho was very ill, and went with the defendant to meet the latter's father on his return frem town. He took the dogs with them, and upon arriving at Chislehurst Common, they sat down upon some logs of wood in the road. Whilst there a rabbit started into the road, and the dogs went after it. The defendant went into the furze to call the dogs off, when the boy Clark, who was beating the furze, said " There goes the ra bbit, sir." The defendant said, Shall Igo after it ?" and upon the boy say ing he might, he put his foot upon the bush. H e had no sooner done so than Norton sprang over a hedge, behind which he had been hiding, an in an and ran up the path towards the" defendant, cryingout eage r tone of voice, I have got you at last— have I ?" on the been It was contended th at that was s ufficient evidence e to prove that from previous ill-feeling b n of Norton tow ards the defendan t , lurking about to find a ground to "serve him out," and that he had laid this trap out of malice and spite. The court having been cleared. Th e Chairman, after a conference with his brother magistrate of one hour f , nd ten minutes, said it was the opinion of the majority of the bench that the defendant did not leave home with the intention of hunting game, but that he had committed a tres• pass within the meaninr , of the Act of Parliament, and fined the defendant ls. and costs. Mr. Pearce hoped th a t finding destroyed the aninzus furandi. The Chairman--Certainly; the bench. The fine was immediately paid by the defendant, who left the court with his friends. THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY, 'Who had been in active commu nication with his friends—supporters of the ballet on both sides of the house, and who had availed himself of the tem porary absence of Speaker from the chair to arrange his plan of action, and take the opponents of the ballot by sur prise, seeing that many of them were not at their posts, rose on the return of the right hon:g en tleman and said—l move for leave, sir, to bring in a bill to cause the votes of Par liamentary electors to be taken.by way of the ballot. (Hear, hear.) It strikes me, sir, thatthe arguments which I have hitherto used are entirely unanswered, and I therefore beg permission, sir, to leave the qUestion in your hands. Lord FERMOY seconded the motion. (Cheers and laughter, caused by the knowledge that a largo body of the opponents of the ballot were not in their places, and were likely to be thus taken by surprise.) The SPEAKER put the question that leave be given to bring in the bill, and a loud response of "Aye," mixed with cheers, resounded through the house. The right hon. gen tleman then put the contrary, and a resolute cry of " No," issued from the small band of opponents of the measure, was the reply. The SPEAKER—The "Ayes" have it. (Cheers.) The Opponents of the measure—The "Noes" have it. The SPEAKER—The "Ayes" to the right, and the " Noes" to the left. The house then divided, amidst much laughter, hon. members on both sides enjoying the surprise. The division did not occupy many minutes, and when the numbers were handed by the clerk at the table to Mr. Berkeley, it was thus made evident that the opponents of the ballot were for the first time beaten, and a loud and protracted cheer burst forth from its supporters, and a hearty cheer again rang through the house. The hon. member, when silence was restored, announced the num • hers — For the motion Against it Majority for Loud cheers again burst forth from the supporters of the ballot, and laughter, in which all present joined again, re sounded through the house. Leave was then given to bring in the bill, which was ac cordingly brought in and read a first time. [The whole scene was a " sensation" one, made up of cc t a ct," laughter, cheers, good humour, a short speech, and a successful surprise.] BALLOT AT MUNICIPAL ELECTIONS. r Mr. A. SMITH, foll owin g th e example and tactics of Mr. Henry Berkeley , rose, and said the motion which he was about to submit to the ho use was such as not to re quire him to make any s p eech in su pport of it. He would g ta i k by way of ballot." n en a " bill to allow the (Cheers and laughter.) Th e SPEAKER having put the question, and an nounced that the "Ayes" had it, a cry was raised of" No, no," " Divide, divide." Lord PALMERSTON, amid the ringing of the " divi sion bells" and mirthful laughter, rose and said—After " the agreeable surprise" that has been enacted this even ing with so much applause—(laughter) --and after the hon. member for Bristol has given an example in his own per son of the value of " silent voting"—(laughter)—it is pos sible that this bill will take the same course, and I shall therefore, like hire, leave it in the hands of the house. (Hear, hear, c h ee rs, laughter, and cr i es o f " divide," and " Agreed, agreed.") The SPEAKER again put the question. The house divided, and the numbers were— For the motion Against it . Majority in The announcement, as the case of the Ballot," 4 was received with cheers and general laughter. Leave was then given t o bring in the bill, and it was ac cordingly brought in and read a first time. ROMAN CATHOLIC PRISONERS. In committee of the whole house leave was given to Mr. HENNESSY to bring Ma bill to amend the law relating to the religious instruction of Roman Catholic prisoners in England and Wales. On the motion of Mr. WHALLEY a return was ordered of the names, ages, and number of students attending the College of Maynooth at the end of the academical year ; the names and number who have entered each year from that time till the 31st of August, 1861, with the age of each at entering ; the names and number who have left college during that period who have not completed their course of education, with the date of leaving. The motion gave rise to some discussion, but was eon :" L . ,- 41.- anvernMellt. Mr. WIIITESIDE nominated th , the Judgments Law Amendment (Ireland) Bill and Land Debentures (Ireland) Bill. The house then went into committee on the Education of Pauper Children Bill, the several clauses of which were agreed to. Progress was made with the Salmon Fisheries (Scotland) Bill in committee ; and the other orders having been dis posed of the house adjourned. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BATH RACES-YESTERDAY. This county meeting, famed for the downfall of Derby favourites, and occasionally for the debut of a good two-yr old, commenced yesterday, under very favourable auspices by the arrival of many horses at the town. The weather unfortunately, changed during the night, and a week of, bright sunshine was followed by a drizzling rain, which continued to fall at intervals during the morning. The Biennial Stakes were the two leading features of the day, and the first of them produced one of the finest ra3es ever seen, ending in the discomfiture of The Knave. The other upset the then favourite for next year's Derby, who wa s defeated most ingloriously. In the Lansdown Trial Stakes, with which the running began, Star of the West was beaten, and at once receded from 30 to 1 in the Derby bet ting to 1,000 to 15, which odds were °tiered against him without meeting a response. The last race was run in a Scotch mist, rendering it next to impossible to discover the colours of the riders as they passed the judge's chair.

Some considerable delay occurred at the post, caused through Gibraltar refusing to face the flag. At last Mr. Marshall got them in the humour, and despatched them from the post in compact order. Necromancer was the first off, closely followed by General Hesse and Birdhill, with Myrtle and Gibraltar lying next. On rounding the lower turn General Hesse went to the front, and came on with a clear lead, followed by Necromancer, Birdhill, and Star of the West, in which way they ran into the straight, where Necromancer was beaten and the leader was joined by the two favourites, A fine race home ensued between the three, which was won at last by General Hesse by a neck, three parts of a length separating the second and third, and a length and a half between the third and fourth; Traveller was fifth, Surbiton-hill and Myrtle next.

On reaching the T.Y.C. post Highflyer took up the running,followed byTonio, Conqueror, Paul Clifford, and Egbert,but on rounding the lower turn Conqueror hung considerably, and came against the post, and his place was taken by Paul Clifford, who waited upon Highflyer into the straight, when the Duke's horse was beaten, and at the dis tance Paul Clifford was joined by Villager, but who was disposed of at the stand, Paul Clifford winning easily by three lengths ; Tonio, who passed Highflyer at the stand, finishing a bad third.

Several petitions were presented in favour of the bill for superannuation allowance to poor law officers ; in favour of the bill for the prevention of fires ; for a reform of the Irish Poor-law, in favour of the Irish Fisheries Bill, in favour of an alteration of the present mode of licensing Public Houses, &c. THE PRESIDENCY OF MADRAS. Mr. H. BAILLIE presented a petition signed by 15,000 inhabitants of the presidency of Madras, complaining that the promises held out when her Majesty assumed the ducal Government of the Empire of India had not been fulfilled. The petition drew attention particularly to the injustice which it was alleged the Nawab of the Carnatic had been treated, EDUCATION IN IRELAND. Mr. HENNESSY gave notice that on that day month ho would submit a resolution to the house on the subject of education in Ireland. MAYNOOTH COLLEGE. Mr. WHALLEY asked the Chief Secretary for Ireland whether he was prepared to give effect to the recommenda tion in that part of the report of the commissioners ap pointed, in the year 1853, to inquire into the manage ment and government of the College of Maynooth, that " a calendar be annually published by the college, stating the names of the several students who have left the college after the completion of the course, and their respective destinations ; its alumni at the time alive, and the places in which they were severally performing their functions." Sir R. PEEL said that he was not then prepared to state whether he would give effect to the recommendations in question, but he did not sea why the College of Maynooth should not publish a calendar similar to that of the univer sities of Oxford and Cambridge.

Sir H. CAIRNS moved that an humble address bo pr e. sented to her Majesty, praying that sh e wou ld be graciously pleased to issue a commission to inquire into the working of the law relative to letters patent for inventions. He said that this was a subject of more importanee than might at first be considered, and there was no less than 14,000 patents in existence. It was most desirable that every encourage ment should be extended to inventors by the Government of this country, in order to promote discoveries in science and arts. He considered that the mode of encouragement should be as analogous as possible to the plan of giving an interest to inventors for a certain number of years in their inventions. Having adverted to the alteration in the patent laws of 1812, he said there were three grounds of objection to the present state of the law in reference to patents. It was alleged first that too great facilities were offered for taking out letters patent, which led to the multiplication of worthless and trivial patents which operated injuriously in a commercial point of view. The second objection was, that the cost of patents was too large, and the third complaint was that the tribunal before which patent cases were tried was very expensive and un- satisfactory from the want of knowledge of such tribunals. He referred to France and the United States of America, which he contended exhibited a more healthy state in regard to patents than this country. The patents granted in this country annually were about 3,000, while in France they were from 4,000 to 5,000, and in the United States about 5,000. He argued that there should be considerable facilities afforded to inventors, notwithstanding the ob jections that were urged against the adoption of such a course of policy. He alluded to the different inventions which bad been made in science and art within the last century, which to some extent was attributable to the en couragement afforded to patents. In his opinion, what was required was a short and inexpensive mode of investigating the merits of any invention, and calling in and cancelling those patents which had been granted without just ground. He contended that the point to be discussed was the amount of the sum that should be fixed for the price of a patent, which would be sufficiently large to deter worthless in ventions, but not so large as to operate in restricting bonafidc and valuable inventions. Having called some cases to show the expenses that were incident to the litigation arising out of patent cases, which in the instance of proceedings arising out of an invention for capsuling bottles cost the parties £24,870. There could be no doubt that ordinary juries were very often incompetent to arrive at a correct conclusion in respect to disputed patent cases. In order to remedy this defect it had been suggested that a jury formed of experts should be constituted to try cases of this character, but he confessed that he was not satisfied as to such a solution of the difficulty. Again, it had been suggested that a jury of three or four persons of scientific attainments, and with minds sufficiently trained to enable them to direct their intelligence to considering questions that might arise, should be appointed with the assistance of a judge, to determine any questions arising out of patents. He thought that the subject was one that required very grave consideration, and he contended that beneficial results would necessarily follow from the appoint ment of the commission for which he moved. Lord STANLEY seconded the motion, and argued that the object proposed would be effected best by allowing patents to be obtained at an inexpensive cost. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL considered that a fair else for in • clturY had been made out, and he hoped the re sult would be the adoption of such emendations of the patent law as would render it in future more satisfactory. After some observations from Mr. M. SMITH, Mr. GOWER, and other hon. members, to. PUBLIC WORKS. Mr. DILLWYN moved. a declaratory resolution, to the effect that it was desirable in :all cases where Government proposed to comtruct works , or erect lortificatiows or public THE GREAT PEN DEL UGE. An important and influential meeting of the several commissions for drainage of the Fens was yesterday held at the Guildhall, Lynn ; the chair man of the Court of Sewers, the Rev. C. Currie, of Finey, presided. There were also present, L. W. Jarvis, Esq., mayor of Lynn ; R. Bagge, Esq., of Longwood Hall ; Alderman Seppings, of Lynn ; E. R. Maning, Esq., and R. Pitcher, Esq., of Lynn; E. Edwards, Esq., C.E., A. Saunders, Esq., C.E., of Lynn ; James Walker, Esq., C.E., of Terrington ; J. Patrick, Esq., of Lermans ; the Rev. J. Bratn hall, J. Freeman, S. Munford, and a large number of other influential landowners and occupiers from Marshland. The first business transacted was to receive the report from the deputation to the Home Secretary. L. W. JARvis, Esq., said they waited upon the Home Secretary at half-past 3 o'clock on Friday afternoon, and after they had gone most fully into the matter entrusted to them, Sir George Grey ex pressed a wish to have the purport in writing, and he sent him a letter, a copy of which was published in the daily London papers that day (Tuesday). The Home Secretary promised to forward it to the chair man of the middle level commission. After some conversation the following resolution, proposed by R. Pitcher, Esq., and seconded by the Rev. J. Bramhall, was unanimously agreed to : " That a representation be made from this court to the chairman of the middle level commissioners, stating that it is the opinion of this court that the work now in progress for making a dam is progres sing in too unsatisfactory and tardy a manner; and that it is advisable that relays of men be provided, so that the work may at all times be conducted without the slightest intermission." An order was made for strengthening the Marsh- land Mere Sluice, by piling the wings. The MAYOR of Lynn (L. W. Jarvis, Esq.) said that he did not know whether this was the time or place to introduce the matter of the distress and absolute ruin that had come upo n many of the small occupiers through this dreadful catas trophe. He had no doubt that many of them were utterly ruined , a nd some had applied already for admission to the union workhouse. He had received several subscriptions from a distance, and he did not know whether it would not be ad visable to commence a subscription forthwith. The feeling of the meeting was that the middle l ev el commissioners ought to be compelled to make full and proper compensation , and to commence a public subscription would be to take away the re sponsibility from the commissioners. The meeting adjourned. LYNN, MONDAY EVENING, Fortunately promptitude whi c h h a d b een manifested to he sto t pthe hole i n th e east bank, which b er e e e d n tshceouerffeodrt2oEalfeeceetsdsfeuelp, and 40 feet long, has and happily (for the h r e a n d d present at least) averted deluging of the whole such a catastrophe as the of the co un t r y on th e Down ham side of th e cut. This afternoon we found a greater state of acti • vity on the works than we have previously witnescalled, is sed. The coffer-dam, as it is progressing • being gressing very nicely—all the piles connected together as fast as they are driven with iron bolts, by an expert diver, who stays at the bottom of the cut for three-quarters of an hour at a . time. This circumstance alone has drawn hundreds of persons to the spot, such a novelty never being witnessed in the Fens before. It is felt to be a most unfortunate thing that Mr. Muller is not permitted to go on with the earth dam, as the piling is liable to be carried away so soon as it is exposed to any force of the tide ; and should it give way, there will be no obstacle again to the free course of the spring tides. A cargo of stone has arrived at the mouth of the cut to be deposited between the two rows of piles that form the coffer dam. A temporary line of r a ilwa y has been laid do w n by the side of the cut to a ssist the transit of the materials , a nd to su p ersede the necessity of using tumbrils and carts. T rucks have a l so been received for this purpose. Within a few yards of the outfall of the middle level sluice, and emptying into the same channel, the river Ouze, is the outfall of two other cuts f or the purposes of drainage. These sluices are o f course smaller than that the destruction of which has led to this sad catastrophe, They are known
