fITY NEWS, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The recent arrivals of Australian gold have tem porarily arrested the efflux from the Bank. Although there have been no withdrawals for two days, however, the Gazette return to-morrow even jog is expected to show a further decline in the bullion. An augmentation in the stock of " Other Securities" is also anticipated. An active discount business is still recorded, and the supply of bills for negotiation is extensive, although the demand is not quite so urgent as it was last week. The B an k o f F rance re t urn w ill likewis e appear to-morrow, and similar alterations will no doubt be exhibited, viz., a reduction of specie, and an addition to the amount of the bills negotiated during the past month. In all the Principal markets of the continent the value of money has increased, and the tendency is still in the direction of an advance. The occurrence of hostilities, the contraction of loans, and the conse quent effect upon credit, have completely changed the position and prospects of monetary affairs, and the extent of the movement must, of course, depend upon the duration of the war. The Bank of Belgium has raised its rate of dis count from 3 per cent. to 4 per cent. Silver is in rather more demand, on eastern account, but the quotation is unaltered. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed 'With less activity, and 7,000 bales were disposed of at the previous advance. In Railway Shares business was quiet, and prices exhibited a slight downward tendency. The annual meeting of the National Provincial Bank of England was held to-day, J. M. Laurin, Esq,, in the chair. It appeared from the report that the affairs of the bank had been conducted with the usual regularity during the past year, and that, in spite of the low rate of money, the restricted trade of 1858, and the warlike disturbances of late, the profits of the past twelve months had not been much below those of the preceding year. The directors hdd taken over the private bank at Stone, belonging to William Moore,' Esq., by which a large business would be done with the pot teries. The accounts showed the following results : net profits of 1858, £100,317 Bs. ld.—making, with the reserve fund set apart in Government securities, the sum of £297,698 3s. 2d., from which two dividends were paid for 1858, amounting to .r 548,000, leaving an undivided profit on the 31st D ecember, 1858, of £249,698 3s. 2d. The directors now proposed, out of the profits of the last year, to pay,in addition to the half-year's dividend paid to the proprietors, a bonus of 7-4- per cent., making the division of profit for 1858 in all 153 per cent. u p o n the paid-up capital of the company. The serve fund would then be £204,698 3s. 2d. The chairman having moved the adoption of the re- Part, it was agreed to, after some discussion as to t he necessity of forming an annuity fund for the clerks of the establishment, which the chair man said should have their best consideration. The Bank of England directors at their meeting today, determined upon making no furthe r c h ange in their terms of discount at present. This result I V 48 generally anticipated, although it was imagined 111 some instances that an alteration might be con sidered desirable. Not hwithstanding the continued inactivity of t he ma r k et the English Funds have been rather buoyant. During the early hours of business the quotations showed an advance of 1 per cent., but since then a slight reaction has taken place. Consols, which have been as high as 92 to 921 are now 911 to 92 for money, and 911 I for the account. Bank Stock has advanced to 217 Reduced 220 ; the N ew Th rees to 90 4 a n d 91i ; th e to 901 - to 911 ; Exchequer Bills to 245. and 265. ; and India Loan Debentures to 94. The New India Loan Scrip is firmer at 11 to 1 dis., being marked 931 4 2 • The transactions in the Foreign Stock Market eon tinue of a rather numerous character, and quota tions are without any material alteration, Turkish 6 Per Cents, being 64 to 66 ; ditto -New, 54 to 56 ; and the • 4 per Cents. are steady at 991; Portuguese at 40; Peruvian (Uribarren) at 76, and Brazilian 4 1Per Cents, at 88 to 891, but the 5 per Cents. have advanced to 98 99 ; Dutch 21 per Cents. to 591, and ditto 4 per Cents, to 92. Sardinian remain at 76. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : . 1859. , 1858.

THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices.) APPEAL JUDGMENT-ODDIE V. DROWN. This was an appeal from the decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, and relates to the validity of a residuary gift of the personal estate, contained in the will of a person named John Oddie, who died in 1821. The testator, by his will, directed his trustees to accumulate his residuary per sonal estate until it amounted to £3,000, or thereabout. And the will directed that so soon as the accumulation should amount to that sum the interest of that fund should be paid to certain tenants for life. And on the decease of the survivor of them, the fund itself should be divided among certain persons therein named, and the question raised was, whether the testator had not defined the limits within which the accumulation was to go on, and whether the entire gift was not void from uncertainty and remoteness. The Vice-Chancellor held that, having made the limit £3,003, it might not exactly come within the limit of the rule against perpe tuities, but the gift was very remote, and failed accordingly, and therefore the next of kin were entitled to take. The case came before the Lords Justices, where it was heard ; but, considering the importance of the case, it was appointed to be re-heard before the full Court. The Lord Chancellor considered that the accumulations were only good for 21 years, when they became interrupted by the Thellusson Act, which allowed accumulation during that time, but no longer. Lord Justice Knight Bruce considered that the accumu lations were good until the death of the last tenant for life named in the will. Lord Justice Turner considered that the gift was not void from remoteness nor uncertainty—that the accumula tions extended not only to twenty •one years, but subse quently in certain events happening mentioned in the will. The Lord Chancellor varied the decree of the Vice- Chancellor, and declared that the accumulations were gooi to the tenants for life and their descendaats for twenty-one years, and dismissed the appeal with costs, reserving the question whether the accumulations• thereafter were good till the death of the last tenant for life, with liberty to apply. The minutes to be settled by counsel in the cause. CRLJIINAL COURT:---( THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. ;Before Mr. Justice Crowder, and Mr. Baron Channel.' THE WAGNER FORGERIES. Andrew Foster, hatter; William NVynn Bramwell, dealer; Robert Humphries, jeweller; and William Wagner, agent, were brought up for trial, charged with feloniously forging and uttering an order for the sum of £265 with in tent to defraud. Bramwell and Wagner detained for forg ing, &c., an order for £270. Humphreys detained for feloniously, &c., having in his custody a die resembling the die used by the Commissioners of Inland R evenue for Bill S Stamps and p mps a o lso sses d i e o t r: lin counterfeit ed for coin. havingcn. unlawfully in his cus tody 1 Mr. Bodkin, who appeared in support of th e prosecut i on, opened the case against the prisoners at considerable length. Mr. Sleigh, who appeared with Mr. Bodkin, then called, George Watkins, who said—l am a baker. I live at Euston-square. In February last I liver) at Church -street, Soho. In Richmond-street there is a public-house it is a house of call for bakers, and I used it. In the early part of February I met Bramwell there. I did not know him before. We drank together. After I . had known him a short time a conversation took place about cheques. He asked me if I had any objection to present a eheque on the cross ; that he would give me anything in writing to prove my innocence if the forgery was detected. They would advertise for a baker. Tho advertisement did not appear. I said I would give them an answer the fol lowing day. They said I should have a letter to prove I was engaged. I was to have £l5 fir my share. This was the last Sunday in February. I could take the £l5 in gold for my share, and the rest in notes, as they could easily dispose of them, by changing them for foreign money. After that we could meet in the evening and enjoy our selves. Upon the Monday morning I placed myself in communication with the police. On that day and subse quently I acted under the cognisance of Inspector Webb. On Monday, about 11 o'clock, 1 went to the Three Crowns and saw Bramwell, and we went out for a walk, and he said he had advertised (mentioning no paper). I answered him, as to presenting the cheque, in the affirmative. He could bring the paper containing the advertisement in the morning. He said that he had presented cheques, and was stopped. Up to this time I knew Bramwell as Brown. I was to meet him at the Three Crowns the following morn ing. He did not come though I was there. I next saw him on Saturday at the Three Crowns. I told him I had kept my appointment, I said I had been expecting him. He said he had been too busy and could not get there. He said, " You shall advertise ; I'll bring the money to-morrow night." I remember nothing else. Ife again broke his appointment, and I did not see him till the following March. I did not then speak to him. I did not again see him till Monday, the 21st March. That was at Grafton-place, Euston-square. Bramwell was at Grafton-place when I arrived. He said, " Meet me at two o'clock." I did so, and went to a tea-shop with him. He then produced the paper I now have. That paper contained the advertisement. He told me to take a copy of that. I did so, and gave it to Bramwell. He kept me there from two to three. While I was waiting a person came in and had some ale, and after he had left Bramwell said, " We 11 go now." I did not notice the gentleman, but he could see. I and Bramwell went a little way together and then parted. Another appointment was then made to meet him at the same place, at 11 o'clock the next day. I kept that appointment; he did not, and I went home and received soon afterwards the letter pro- duced by post. The letter is addressed " William Wyatt," and directed me to go to a place where I, no doubt, Should be suited. l'en minutes after I had received the letter Bramwell came in and handed the receipt for the adver tisement inserted in the Daily Telegraph. The receipt was for ls. I showed him the letter and card I had received, and he said he could not tell if it came from their party. He said he would see, and I had better go and I might get a good situation. In reference to his not keeping one ap pointment, he said, " You recollect that gentleman that came in r I said " Yes ;" and he said (being rather the worse for liquor), "I kept you there on purpose for him to see you." He accused me of not keeping an appointment with him. I said, " How do you know I was not there ?" He said, " Who was that man you spoke to ?" and I replied, " How did you know I spoke•to a man ?" We then made another appointment, which met with the same fate as many previous ones, but the potman at the Three Crowns told me something that induced me to go to Red Lion-street, Holborn, and there I found Bramwell standing at the corner. He said he had been standing there a quarter of an hour. He asked me to come and stand by him, and said " They have arrived—take no notice of any one." The next minute I saw some one taking great notice of me. After the per son had walked backwards and forwards on the other side of the way, Bramwell and I stood together and he passed close to me on the same side as we stood—that turned out to be Humphries. After that the prisoner Forster came up and shook hands with Bramwell, who said, introducing me, " A friend of mine." Forster said to Bramwell, "You can go now—be back in an hour; you can sleep in my house to-night." Bramwell then crossed tliedroad—Forster then entered into conversation with Humphries. Humphries left and I and Forster went to a public house together. He said, " Now I am a very particular man. I don't allow a second man to know my business, and if you go into this affair with me you must be as strict." I saw nothing more of Humphries. I was with Forster half-an-hour. While la ith him I showed him the letter and card I had received by post. I said " I received this letter ; is it from your party." He replied, " I can't say ; I don't know them." He loft me and took the card with him. He returned in a quarter of an hour and said (giving me the card) "It is not from our party, we have posted a letter for you, you'll receive it in the morning." In our position any one coming in could have seen me. Some one pushed spen the door several times, and Foster said, " You must excuse our people, they are naturally distrustful." He again went out, and in a few minutes entered and said, " You are to do this little affair to-morrow morning." An assignment was made for the next day for past 10. He said before he left, " If yeu have not received the letter come at the appointed time, we can easily go back for it." The same night I communicated with the police. On the 23d March I received a letter. I went to a house, the Orange Tree, and met Bramwell outside. We went in, and Forster came a quarter of an hour afterwards. He took the letter out of my hand and kept it, giving me back the envelope. The letter said that if C. W. would meet Mr. Curtis, at 11 o'clock, he would probably hear of a situation that would suit him. I was to see him on the 23d. Forster said when he took the letter, " I shall notbe ready for half an hour, what will you do?" I said "Go for a walk. I am to be back at eleven o'clock to the Orange Tree. I got back at eleven and Forster came there. Bramwell was there all the time. [Here Mr. Metcalfe said he defended Forster ; Mr. Doyle, Bramwell ; Mr. Repton, 'Wagner ; and Mr. Atkinson, Humphries.] When Forster came back he gave me a letter (produced). He said "Are you ready?" I said "Yes." He said, "Came on then." We (Forster and I) then started, leaving Bramwell behind, and we proceeded up Gower-street. Forster said, " Now, my boy, I feel confident we shall bring this off, andiwhen I do it generally comes off right." When we arrived at Curtis's, I went in and Forster remained outside. I then went in to the coffee room at the University Hotel and saw a gentle man in one of the boxes. He had a black coat on and wore his hat. Round his bead he had a black bandage ? it appeared to go round his chin and under his hat. The piece of stock produced (serge) is like it. (The witness here tried the 'effect upon himself, and raised a good deal of laughter.) I believe the man to be the pri soner Wagner. I said to him "Are you Mr. Curtis?" Ho said, "Yes." I showed him the letter, and said I was the person that put in the ad vert i sement. He said— " Y ou are a baker, I believe." I had not before told him I was a baker. He said, " Mrs. Curtis will be here at one, and I should wish her to see you before I engage you." He said nothing about wages. " In 'the meanwhile," said he, " take this cheque (produced), and if yOu can, get back by one." When he handed 'me the cheque he said, " Take this ehequetotheßank (handing me some pieces of paper)." I said I could get back before one. He said, " I don't want it before one." I came outside. [The cheque was upon the Union Bank of London, Regent-street branch, purported to be drawn by J. Peter, for £265. [The other paper said four 50's, five 10's, and 15 gold.] I left the hotel. Outside was the prisoner Forster. I said I had left the letter, and should go back for it. He said, " Oh, no, you won't get it." I showed him the cheque, upon his request that I should do so. He said it was a capital imi tation ; that there were five or six cheques ready, and if I was lucky it would not be a bad half-week's work. We then went to the American Stores in Oxford -street. Went in for five minutes. From thence we went to the bank in Argyle-place. Before I arrived at the bank we made an appointment to meet at the American Stores. I went into the bank and left him outside, close by. I presented the cheque, and payment was refused. Forster was, a very short time afterwards, brought in in custody. Some further evidence having been given similar to what has already appeared in The Slot, the case was adjourned at five o'clock until to-morrow. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) BIGAMY. A respectably-dressed woman named Juby surrendered to a charge of bigamy. The jury found her guilty, and she was sentenced to two months' imprisonment. RECEIVING STOLEN PROPERTY. Thomas Wall, a marine store dealer, was indicted, to gether with a boy aged about 14, for receiving some metal, stolen by the latter. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The Recorder sentenced Wall to nine, and the boy to three months' imprisonment with hard labour. EMBEZZLEMENT. Joseph Tyas was indicted for embezzling the sum of £1 65., the property of his master. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. Mr. W. R. Stevens, stationer, Throgmorton-street, said he occasionally employed the prosecutor. On the 23d of April, the prisoner (who was in Mr. Trenden's employ) called for an account' amounting to £1 65., and received the same. He gave a printed receipt for the same: Mr. Trenden said part of the prisoner's duty was to re ceive small accounts. The prisoner absented himself from work for some time, and on his (witness) calling at Mr. Stevens, he found he had received the monenalthough the prisoner had previously denied having done so. The pri soner bad been in the prosecutor's employment for two or three years, and also in that of his father for seven years previously. The prisoner said he received the money, but lost it oui of his pocket going home. The jury found him guilty. The prosecutor—My lord, I don't wish to be hard with the prisoner. This is the only dishonest act I have ever discovered against him. The Recorder—Then why did you prosecute P It appears that he has been in your father's service for many years, and between two and three in your own. Ymir present re quest places the court in a very difficult situation. As it is the first dishonest act I shall, under the circumstances, only sentence the prisoner to two months' imprisonment with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE OF FRAUD AND CREATING A DISTURBANCE, —CAUTION TO PURCHASERS OP COALS.—lienry Clark, of 23, Weston-place, King's Cross, coal merchant, was charged with creating a disturbince at the New York Hotel, 182, Leicester-street, Leicester-square, under the following circumstances. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared on the part of the Great Northern Railway Coal Company; Mr. Williams, inspector of the Great Northern Railway police being also in attendance. Mr. J. R. Williams; of the New York Hotel, 182, Leicester-street, said that on the previous afternoon a person called on him, and said he came from Mr. Herbert Clarke, of the Great Northern Railway Coal Company ; that he had three tons of coal to take some where, but not finding the place, he was authorised to sell them at less than the usual price, and that he would sell them at 19s. a ton sooner than take them back again; and that they were the best Wallsend coals. The man then produced a card, with a large seal, showing that he was authorised to sell the coals. He bought one ton, the man telling him that since he had first spoken to him some had been sold, and the man signed the receipt in the name of "Herbert Clark," and perceiving there was no final "e" to the name his suspicions were aroused. Shortly after the pri soner called for the .195., and would make him pay it. He then left, but returned with a pipe in his mouth and created a disturbance, and in consequence he was obliged to give him into custody. The prisoner said he was a coal merchant, and his name was Clark, without the " e." A person gave him the order to cart the coals to a place, and when he got there his man found that there had been a hoax, and he gave his man orders to sell the coals at a less price sooner than bring them back. The coals were his property, and he had them from Mr. Herbert Clarke, but he was not present. The coals were sold for cash. Witness said ho told the prisoner that he had bought some of a Mr. Lempriere, clerk to Mr. Herbert Clarke, with the " e" in his name. Mr. E. Lewis said he should prefer a charge on the part of the Great Northern Railway Coal Company against the prisoner, for conspiring with another, not in custody, to defraud Mr. Williams, by selling coals of an inferior quality and representing them as Wallsend. Some persons had been practising frauds on the public to the detriment of the Great Northern Railway Coal Company by selling a very inferior kind of coals as Wallsend. The man said he came from Mr. Herbert Clarke though his name was Henry Clark, and when Mr. Williams saw there was no " e" in the name he refused to pay. The false pretence in the case was, that he was not concerned for Mr. Herbert Clarke. Mr. Bingham said, that as far as the charge of creating a disturbance was concerned, he had no business to collect a debt in the way he attempted to do, and he should order him to find surety for three months, and with respect to the other charge he should order him to find bail to appear on Saturday next. The parties then left the court for the charge of con , spiracy to be entered in the usual way. THAMES. ROBBERY BY A DA.UGMTEIL—FINE NAMES AND FINE CLOTHES.—MaryAnn C happen and Jane Drusilla Euphrasia Wigley, two girls each about 18 years of age, and both dressed alike with new bonnets, falls, • curtains, and veils hanging to them, and wearing crinoline frocks, were brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing £3 2s. and some valuable property from the house of the parents of the girl Chappell. Mrs. Chappell, a very respectable matron, the wife of William Chappell, a carman, of No. 15, Pitt-street, St. George-in-the-East, said she was very sorry to prosecute her own daughter, but she had no alternative. Her daughter was 18 years of age last June, and was a very wicked girl, who had heaped sorrow on her parents and relations. On Monday evening her daughter absconded from her home in her (the mother's) absence, and took £3 2s. from a tea-caddy which she broke open, and also took away a pair of boots belonging to her and some other property. Yesterday she went to No. 3, Devonshire-street, Commer cial-road East, where she found her daughter and the other prisoner. They were both dressed alike in the finery they were now wearing, and had bought their bonnets, ribbons, and crinolines with the money taken out of the tea-caddy. The prisoner Wigley was wearing the boots stolen from the house of witness and had them on now. Mr. Selfe—What is the place in Devonshire-street ? Mrs. Chappell—A house for girls. Mr. Selfe—A brothel ? Mrs. Chappell—l believe it is, sir. Mrs. Selfe—Your girl is described as a prostitute, is that so ? Mrs. Chappell, who was deeply affected, said that was too true. Her daughter absconded about nine months ago after robbing her, went upon the town and returned seven weeks ago. Her daughter promised to be a good girl, and she and her father did all they could to reclaim her. Other evidence was, gone into, from which it appeared the two girls bad been visiting theatres and concert-rooms on Monday and two following nights, and made up their minds to lead a degraded life, for which purpose they pur chased the finery on their persons. Mrs. Chappell said, if her daughter could be sent to a Reformatory School and reclaimed from a course which would involve the destruction of both soul and body, she would gladly pay all the expenses. Mr. Selfe—She is too old for a Reformatory School. The prisoner Chappell impudently pleaded guilty to the charge of robbing her parents. Mr. Selfe said this was really a shocking case. The girl Chappell was incorrigible, and the best thing t o b e done was to send her to prison for a very long time. H tenced her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour ( f se ers n ix . months. He also convicted Wrigley and sentenced her to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. NEW COLONIAL BISHOP.--The. Rev. Prebenda r y Tuffnell, the recently appointed rector o f S t. Peter's, Marl borough, Wilts, has been appointed to the newly-established about t bishopric of M o resign o his living. ' Australia, an d i s consequently ACCIDENT AT ST. JAMES'S HALL—Yesterday morning an accident, which created considerable alarm, and might have been attended with serious consequences, took place at St. James's Hall, Piccadilly, at the anniversary meeting of the Irish Church Mission Society. The meet ing was very numerously attended, and the platform was crowded, when just as the Rev. A. R. C. Dallas the secre tary, had concluded reading the report, the railing in front of the platform gave way, owing to the pressure from be hind, and several gentlemen were precipitated head foremost on to the floor of the hall. Fortunately, although several ladies were in the immediate vicinity, no one was under the spot. Mr. Beaumont, of Nottingham, who was standing in the' front row, was, however, thrown very heavily to the ground, and severely bruised. Several other gentlemen were also precipitated into the body of the hall, but beyond a severe shaking sustained no serious inconvenience. Mr. Beaumont was less fortunate. He was taken up nearly insen sible and conveyed into the committee-room, where restora tives were applied, and we are happy to say before the meeting broke up he was sufficiently reco vered to be removed t o hi s own house. Of c o urse considerable alarm was felt in the meeting, and great confusion took place, which was only quieted by an assurance from the chairman that no , serious injury had' been sustained. •It Nitta some time, however,_ before the excitement was sufficiently subdued to enable the proceedings of the meeting to be resumed, 851 5 89 i THIRD EDITION.

We were fairly sup plied with sheep, which met a very inactive demand. In prices, however, no change took place. Lambs, the show of which was good, were dull, but not cheaper.

Sir James Graham is the model electioneer. He does it with the zest of a partisan, with the in dustry of a hustings clerk, and the ability of a statesman. One feels that he would make a better speech, draw up a better placard, and arrange matters in case of a difficulty better than any other man. He finds his vocation so thoroughly in the present system that it is as necessary to the dis play of his poweis as an uncultivated country is to a lover of wild sport. What would he do without a division to be analysed, some flagrant bits of cor ruption to be exposed, and a good butt for his jokes in the shape of some sleek, blooming, fussy, ecclesiastic ? There ought to be a Sir James in every county and borough, aid he would keep all up to their work. The new generation has too short a memory, and has an unwise contempt for what it thinly to be small things. Sir Jame despises nothing, and does hi s w or k th oroug hl y He turns everything to account. The weak and ambiguous tone of the Government with regard to • the reported understanding of France and Russia he converts into good election capital, and all the topics which people often carelessly leave to their opponents he takes under his protection and claims for his auxiliaries. Touched by his master-hand, the most ordinary gossip rises into an affair of State. A valued friend becomes a historical personage; a neighbour shines with reflected light, and the corr4sponclence of a Roman Catholic Bishop or some zealous convert, contributes to our State Papers. This is as it should be and is a standing reproach to our shilly-shally, milk-and-water age. As the critic said of the poet, Sir James Graham would handle a dung•fork with the air of a hero. " Whatever thou takest in hand," says the wise man, "do it with all thy might." Don't sit still and expect the votes to fly in at your window. Don't trust to truth, justice, and good sense ma ki ng t h emse l ves, , heard and carrying the day. Don't think any contest will go right of itself. The advice is excel- , lent, and, had it been attended to, Lord Derby would not have to boast the accession of some twenty supporters. If so great a man as Sir James Graham bestows so much pains about his election for a comparatively unimportant city like Carlisle, how ought ordinary people to bestir themselves for their counties and other vast constituencies ? When a giant thinks it necessary to do his very utmost, it ill behoves pigmies to take the matter easy. There must be a reality somewhere, and Sir James finds it on the hustings,. in a good party o f adherents, and in a good majority over a respect able antagonist. Let nobody say that he has searched the land from Dan to Beershel a and found it all barren, for, though he may be disappointed in Dover, he will find what he wants at Carlisle. There a real victory has been achieved—it matters not much who it is, but he occupies a very large and honourable , place in Sir James's mind, and need not la molt the fate which has associated his name with that of Sir James . Graham. Carlisle. too, may be reasonably proud of returning a man who endows it with ten times its fair proportion of public significance. One reads in works of to pography that once on a time a Parliament was held at such a place, now with scant remains or token of Parliamentary importance ; but Sir James, after a fashion, has held a Parliament at Carlisle. He has opened the session there, and told us from his chair at the Coffee-house Assembly-room some of the topics which will very early engage the at tion of Parliainent, or at least - ought to do so. Have our Ministers been deceivers or deceived about the.: Gallo-French convention ? Ts France or , Aiistritc s i the more to blame for the war, which will desolate,. one of the fairest regions of the earth, and take half a century to get over, even if it spread no , further? Then we may be sure of a good searching.,_ debate into the corrupt influences employed at. . Berwick, at Dover, and in the West of Ireland. At.,, a quarter of a million a-year we have a perfectly ,, regular and trustworthy packet a n d p os t a l service:, with America. Over and above this, and to,its de triment, Lord Derby has now promised £70,000', a-sear to a new company for doing what is Other-.: wise Trovided for, and has obtained some Irish.., votes by this outlay of half a million. Sir James'* economical mind suggests that the thing might have been done cheaper by granting £lOO,OOO for the direct purchase of votes. But take a hint, - . new members, who wish to flesh your maiden tongues. Get up your Cunard. Get up, also, the Channel packet contracts. Get up the barrack system. Sir James throws the spear and proclaims the fight. These old Borderers can smell a battle, and have a second sight as to the veriest particu lars. When the debate comes, people will ask them selves whether they have not heard it all before, and they will remember that it was at Carlisle. But what frets Sir James more than anythipg else is that he finds Lord Derby stealing his thunder. The worthy baronet has always gem a conscientious and hearty advocate of religious equality. That is his particular line, and he flattered himself he could beat anybody in reason able concessions:to the Roman Catholics. But Lord Derby has invaded this special province, and done it in the night, as it were, on the sly, and by those private negotiations which Roman Catholics delight in. He has allowed it to transpire to the hierarchy of that Church that he intends to put the gaol and workhouse chaplains in England on the same footing, whether they be Protestant or Papist. In Ireland he has dropped more than hints that he would be ready to itye a charter to a Catholic . University. " Why," says, or at least implies, James, " this is the very think. I have always been quite ready to do." It might be answered, " Why did you not, then, do it ?" No doubt, satis factory answers can be given, too satisfactory, as proving the old story that we get more from the Tories than from the Whigs. But the complaint is prophetic. We are to have a race of Liberalism. Dord Derby will not be beaten for want of a little timely concession. He has seen too much of that. He has gone a good way, and was pre pared to go further still iu Parliamentary Reform. We see what he has done in the matter of the Jews and some other questions, and now we find him ready to treat with Roman Catholics on the most favourable terms. He announces a high bid. Sir James exclaims that he has bid more, and the ar ticle m ifus u edrhd n ai ;N i c o la novl audaciously w sss eltt l ya : h i t c ea h pHss mr sown,oesuddenlyhd ism Lord finds Certainly ought to be his.

Columbus did not even give his name to the bit of an island on which he first landed, and after a time the New World itself took its name from a third class adven turer, coming lazily in the wake of his betters. So, for aught we know, Lord Derby will go down to posterity at the head of a great Liberal cause, and no friendly pen may discriminate between the for gotten original and the famous copy. It is not in i our power to set this injustice right. It is not, our business to court fame, and we cannot pretend to distribute it. Sir James Graham must approvingvirtues conscience, and lea v e themselves vices by take Lord refuge Derby in to an taking them up jast to suit his purpose, and. no make further.—Times.

He afterwards saw the deceased on the floor near the White Lion public-house ; his eyes were quite glazed, and witness thought he was dead. He was removed into the public-house and put to bed.
