Royal Commission is to be appointed to in quire and report on the all-important question of the construction of suitable Harbours of Refuge at proper points along the English coast. There had been a committee of the House of Commons which gave very interesting and valuable hints on the subject. But, unfortunately, from the terms of the resolution under which it was ap pointed, it could not enter into many points, re specting which information was urgently required. A Royal Commission was therefore urgently called for, and to the credit of the Board of Admiralty, and the Government generally, it has been promptly and gracefully conceded. We cannot conceive any topic more interesting to Englishmen than that now under discussion. If BRITANNIA desires to maintain her maritime supremacy, to be considered as the " Queen of the Ocean," every proper exertion should be made to deserve the title. The national wealth is main tained by our trade and commerce ; but that trade and commerce is unquestionably injured— the expinse of insurance is greatly increased—in consequence of the dangers attendant on our coast navigation. There is a double purpose to be achieved. The mercantile marine should receive every possible protection, so that what may be termed "pre ventible" risks may be averted so far as practi cable, while the safety of the Channel fleet—and, thanks to Lord DERBY and his colleagues, we are, at length to have a bona fide Channel Peet —must also be taken into consideration. For both rea sons, iiot a single hour should be lost in striving to remedy the grave sins of omission that could so fairly and uaanswerably be laid to our charge. If we lcok to the situation of the south-eastern toast, from the Isle of Wight to the mouth of the Thames, it will be seen that there is not a single port between Portsmouth and Dover, a distance, in round terms, of one hundred and fifty miles, that could be regarded as promising shelter and protection to seamen—no static) bene Ma carinis in which the labouring barque can find the much required refuge. There are at least three prominent headlands in the interval, and woe to the heavily -laden ship that is driven on a lee shore by an adverse wind between them. And yet between Selsea Bid and Beachey He a d, th ere is a place .a e hi c h m i ght easily be rendered avail able, area at a comparatively trivial outlay, eon siderir,g the incalculable advantages that such a har)eour would confer on the sh;pp;ng interests, ar,d that includes the interests of the general ommunity, whether they are directly interested as importers, or exporters, or consumers. They pay so heavily for the dangers affecting the car goes that, looking at it merely as a matter of s. d., it would be found much cheaper to pre vent the evils which press so heavily on the Pockets of the community by an adequate outlay in the first instance. But the matter should be regarded i n a more elevated point of view. The ]ives of our hardy seamen—the true British heart of oak--should not be endangered through any paltry cheeseparing notions of economy. As we have already stated, Newhav en i s admi rably Adapted for the purpose of a harbour of There were several questions of no trivial mag nitude to be decided. First, by whom should the cost be borne, and the expenditure regulated ? Should it be regarded as a national or local question ? It was determined than the cost should le exclusively defrayed by the me tropolitan districts, and it followed afutost as a necessary corollary that the management thereof should be entrusted to a local body. There was fortunately one in existence that fulfilled weal , condition. The Metropolitan Board of Work 3 had been chosen by public election forsuch duties and it is well qualified to carry them into operation. Bat it has been said that there should be a Government control over them, and that they should not be entrusted with absolute power to tax their fellow. citizens. This was the rock on which every argosy hitherto launched was wrecked. It contained all the vices of every double Governmet. It might be sure—but it was inevitably slow. It led to the adoption of rival schemes by conflicting authori ties, and while the much Buffeting inhabitants of the metropolis were suffering in health, purse and comfort, and would have " been happy with either, were to'ther dear charmer away." Nothing could ho accomplished or even commenced until the scientific dispute had been brought to a con clusion, or, in other words, the Greek lialends. This difficulty has wisely been avoided. The Metropolitans have evinced sound discretion in selecting a sound scheme, unquestionally one of the best, if not the very best that could be adopted. It was also authorised to raise a large sum of money, and that it might be enabled to do so on easy terms, a Government guarantee is tendered to the extent of three mil lions sterling, and a rate is to be levied of 3d. in the pound, which, it is calculated, will, by means of a sinking fund, extinguish the entire liability in 40 years. There are many hon. gen. tlemen assuming the mantle of prophecy, and freely predicting that much more will be re- But inasmuch as they have not checked the elaborate calculations, and aro at best only vague guesses, We m us t be pre promulgating pared to act on the best evidence attainable con- siatently with speedy action. Now that the matter has been virtually decided, we can only say, "If 'twere done well, 'twere well it were done plickly.” A plague on these unto' gude politicians ! Surely w e h ave h a d enoug h o f th a t sort of thing in temperance leagues and Maine liquor laws, and lecturers and letter writers on the great socia, evil, and Sabbatarian societies, and all the rest 01 it ; why should they try and improve one's political morality by force ? Mr. WALPJLE we know to be a very virtuous man ---he would not, himself, bribe for the world; would not threaten a tenant, or call in a mortgage to gain a single vote, or a thousand votes ; but he is Rome Secretary, and therefore he must, ex officio, try his beat at taking care of our home morals. It seems, too, that one most inveterate original sin of citizons born in political freedom, is that of giving and taking bribes of all conceivable kinds at elections. You may almost test the identity of the species " freo citizen" by the attendant charges of electoral corruptions. At Athens or at Rome ; in America or in Belgium ; in the shape of money, or of plaas, or of jobs, or of " bread and games," or of plenty of " beer and bacca," or of priestly throats, or laudlurda' threats, of bribery through fear, or of courtesies varying from a shake of the hands or a smiling bow, to the kiss of a pretty duchess—in all the ways wherewith the late Mr. Corrocß could easily have filled a column— bribery has been the uniform sin of fre3 and in dependent constituencies, and of those who have wanted to represent them. Mr. WALPOLE iF3 ) therefore, engaged in a toler- refuge. There 13 scarcely any wind t) which vessel, between the headlands already alluded to, could be exposer, in which it would not be avail able. It is already one of the packet stations to France, the distance to Dieppe being but 64 miles. There is a fine blue clay bottom, with admirable anchorage in eight fathoms water, at a short distance from the harbour. A breakwater was recommended to be made by a Naval Commission, some years ago, which would yield shelter to a large fleet riding at anchor under its lee. Besides, the coast would supply plenty of material for the erection of a barrier running from the shore into deep water, and thereby intercept the shingle rolling to the eastward, which would in time so accumulate as to afford ample protection from westerly or south-westerly gales. Then the harbour of Newhaven could be deepened so as to afford shelter to a fleet of sailing vessels and steamers, to be available for offence or defence at a few hours' notice. The river Ouse runs into the sea at the mouth of the harbour, and would be invaluable for watering ships. The expense of making a suitable harbour would be repaid by the saving in insurance on all vessels bound for the port of Lon don from the south-east or west would alone pay 50 per cent. on the outlay, The claims of Newhaven will of course be prominently brought before the Royal Commissioners, and wa believe that the guardians of the public - purse will have no hesitation in granting the funds requisite for this great act of pressing, if not indispensable, utility. When once a child has received, and appropri ated any object, however earnestly it was sought after, it speedily loses the charm that constituted its chief attraction. It is soon neglected, and if practicable discarded for some other fancy. So it is with the House of Commons, with regard to the purification of the Thames. That was "the whistle " which it was prepared to purchase at any cost. The Government were assailed from every quarter with loud remon strances and ominous threats. Plague, or some terrible disease, would probably be engendered by its pestilential exhalations, and for that Lord DERBY and his colleagues would be clearly responsible. They would find jurors as willing to convict them as those who found Lord JOHN RUSSELL guilty of wilful murder because An unfortunate man died of starvation in the county of Mayo during the Irish famine. But Lori DERBY has not been guilty of any sin of omissbn. The moment the magnitude of the nui s a n ce was apparent it was fairly grappled with, and an adequate measure was prepared for its speedy abatament. It was probably the best that could be prepared at so brief a notice. There had undoubtedly been considerable inquiry o the subject, and ample information had been ob tained. But few Governments, with so reason able an excuse for procrastination, would have introduced so important a measure, involving so large an outlay, M the fag-end of the session, a fortnight before the prorogation ; and for that graceful concession to public opinion, for that total disregard of red-tapism, the Ministry, collec tively and individually, are entitled to the thanks and gratitude of the entire community, not merely the inhabitants of the metropolis or its vicinity, but of all, from the Land's-end to John o'Groat's. go pretty well towards retaining another, for the counties certainly. :Look to it, Reform Club ; the Carlton, by Mr. AYRTON'S kind help, have made a nice litfle arrangement for the coming election ; if you do not get the thousands ready too, be as- cured your uew Whig members will go to the wall at the next election, and sad indeed would the loss be to exchange a Whig for a Liberal Conserva tive. The wromg clique would pocket, for years it might be, the salaries of office. We hope, now, we shall hays no more laughing at the Ballot as a nechartical device to make men virtuous. If a railway pass, instead of money, be not a mechanical device, we should like to know what is ! MADAME .RISTORL This accomplished actress took her benefit last night at Covent-garden with the most undoubted 3 . xxczs. She appeared in the charactJr of Queen Elizabeth, a part which gives her an opportunity for displaying the wonderful versatility of her powers. Her delineation of the varying passions that sway the haughty sovereign by turns, her majestic carriage, her impetuous temper, her sudden elevation to heroism, while defying the threats of the Spanish ambassador, were all finely represented. She was equally great in the more conflicting emotions, where her love for Essex and her haughty spirit are at variance. The scene in which the exasperated Essex defies the Queen before the assembled Court, and in which she appears almost overwhelmed with her terrible anger, was rendered very effectively. The struggle in the mind of Elizabeth before signing the fatal warran , , and her despair when she learns that her reprieve is toellate, gave Madame Ristori full scope for the development of her fine tragic powers, as did the last act, showing the proud monarch bending be fore a mightier despot than herself, but keeping Ler lofty spirit in face of death himself. The last agonies as is unfortunately the case with all our great actors, were painfully elaborated and lengthened. We would sugpst to the geod taste of Madame Ristori, that such encouragement of a morbid taste is scarcely worthy of her artistic abilities. The house was fully attended, and the audience testi fied their admiration by bouquets and plaudits, and by the enthuliastic demand for her appearance after every act. The acting of Signor Mejeroni, as the unfortunate earl, deserves eulogistic notice. We are that Madame Risto r i h as been great success of this perf o r m . induced glad by to the see ance to reappear in the same ',character at Covent Garden on Friday next, the night before her de. parturJ from England. His Royal Highness the Hereditary Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-S:reli z, accompanied by hiq son, the Prince Adolphus, arrived in town yesterday nf;ercoon from Germany, on a visit to the Duchess of Cunbrid.ge. His Rqyal Highness, who, we regret to learn, is labour ing under an almost total deprivation of sight, was met at the London I riJge station by his illustrious consort, the Hereditary Grand Duchess of Mecklenburg-Strelitz. A peerage ha., it is said, been offered to Sir John Lawrence, with 2, 000/. E-year. PARLIAMENTARY WlTNESSES,—Fienceforth the select committees (Attie House of Commons may extraine wit nesses on oath, according to a bill brought in (but not passed) by Mr. Wilson Patten, M.P., and lir.

THE 901311 T OF CITANCERY.—By an app o i n tment of an additional Taxing Master in the Court of Chancery, some progress has been mach to remove the delays com plained of by suitors. _ ..opeless Ilittle. 'He is seeking to compel the elector to renou.lee the briber and all his works ; ' and that too with out baptising him in the seorecy which alone can enable both to resist temptation, or which rather would take away the temptation itself. He finds that like all our naughtier pro pensities, darn up bribery at one outlet, and it will soon make itself another. Just as in Maine itself, law forbids the roan to retail liquors publicly, but the wickedly " thirsty soul" finds the shopkeeper selling something else, selling, it may b e , th e very " cup whici cheers but not inebriates "-- so, he asks for a little tea, but also " asks for the baby," and is shown, of course, into a back room, babies not being exhibited in grocers' shops, and can stay there, if he likes, till the baby itself could walk out better than he. Mr. WALPOLE has a law, which he too thinks ought to put down bribery. It expires this year, and he proposes to re-enact it ; but it is found to want some patch ing. What is a Candidate, and how ought Auditors to be remunerated, were questions 1 which needed to be settled, but, above all, the great question to be decided was, ought the travelling expenses of electors to be paid 7 And, if they are, how are you to pay them and not leave open a door to bribery ? On this last great question Mr. WALPOLE, and the House too, were, we believe, far more puzzled than on the India Bill. That was a great, grand, imperial measure ; one of which most of them knew little practically, and the working of which would hardly affect a single seat in the house. But "Payment of travelling ex penses"—who did not fully understand that ? Almost every member bad paid long bills for cab hire in boroughs, and for railway tickets and re freshments, and --- no one knows what be side under these names, in the counties. They all knew how the thing worked too. Some recol lected how the out-voters sent for had just about given them the majority ; others that a very nice douceur proved very acceptable to a poor fellow in London, who rode "Parliamentary" and re ceived first class fare, and lived well for a day or two at free quarters. We believe honourable members were not wanting who recollected the efficiency of buying up at the right nick of time all the public conveyances for the day of election. We certainly have heard of such things. There was, therefore, a pretty little scuffle over the clause proposed by Mr. WALPOLE, that it should be " lawful for any person to pay the actual travelling expenses bona fide incurred in bringing any voter to the poll." Hereon, then, arose the commotion. As the law stands, since the recent decision of the Lords in the case of COOPER Y. SLADE, it may not be bri bery if you pay a voter's expenses, teithAtt asking the promise of his vote ; but if you ask it, you present a corrupt inducement. Now, as all the members, and the Home Secretary and Lord J. RHSSELL especially, have a great horror of bribery, yet want to keep elections expensive enough to deter a poor man from becoming a candidate, the object was to enable the candidate to pay the voter's travelling expenses, yet to prevent the possible incidental bribery. If money passed, the opportunity for bribery was seen to be so very plain ; yet, how dispense with money 7 Then, if the journey were more than a very few hours, even our virtuous mortality cannot dispense with refresh ments ; and our frail mortality is liable to need them in unusual quantities at election times, or to accept payment of them in a round sum, instead of noticing the trifling difference between the odd pounds and shillings, and a five or a ten-pound note. At last Mr. AYRTON hit upon the plan which found favour with the Home Secretary, and with a majority of seventy-five on Friday night —it is to be lawful for the candidate to provide conveyance for the voter, but not for any money to pass between the two parties. Thus has the " wisdom of Parliament" provided for the payment of travelling expenses, and also for the virtue of candid sto and voter. A convey iance may now be legally hired and voters carried in it, or railway passes furnished ; at least so we f read . the clause, but silver and gold, and beer and beef are henceforth corruption. Well, we wish th,9 long-pockets joy of their scheme. They have abolished one property qualification, but this will 1858, the frontier, and that Prince Danilo had con stantly gdviscd them to submit." DENMARK. The iliagtlelmiv Gazette, contains the following analysis of the reply of the Danish Goveinment to the Germanic Diet : " The Danish Cabinet observes that the manner in which the affair of Holstein and Lauenburg has been understood and treated at Frankfort is essen tially defective. That the Diet, having founded its decisions on the proclamation of the 28th Jan., 1852, and on the exchange of despatches which preceded it, forgot that the negotiations between Denmark and the t wo great man powers, as well as the document of the 28th Jan., 1852, ought to be considered as the result of the war, or of the negotiations fur peace between the Germanic Con federation and the King of Denmark, and that con sequently those acts ought to be treated according to the law of nations, and not according to the federal law. That the war of 1848 was not a simple federal event, but that it was made at the same time against a European Prince—the King of Den mark—the federal army having fought the Danish one, not only i n Holstein, but in Schieswick. The Diet,' says the Danish reply, 'has an un doubted right to make war and conclude peace ; but it is not admissable that a treaty of peace - should be treated like a simple federal document, and interpreted like a federal law. If the Diet, therefore, founds its decisions on the act of the 28th Jan., 1852, the differences must be settled according to the law of nations, and not ac c o r di ng to the federal legislati on . The Diet itself declared in its protocol that t . e proclamation of the 28th Jan., 1852, was published in execution of Art. 3 of the treaty of Paris of July 2, 1850. Those, therefore, were the proceedings of the law of na tions, and not exclusively of the federal law. The Danish Cabinet, therefore, thinks that it may dis pute the tight of the Diet to carry into execution its decisions of the 11th Feb., and may invoke, in case of danger, the assistance of the European Powers." ITALY. Count della Marmora will, immediately on Count de Cavour's return to Turin, which is expected to take place at the end of this month, proceed to Sar dinia for the purpose of inspecting the coast forti fications. A private letter from Turin of the I.7th announces that out of the 13 elections which have just taken place in Piedmont, 12 have ended in the return of Government candidates. The political tendencies of the 13th succesful candidate are not well known. Marquis Birago, the chief editor of the ultra clerical organ L'Annonia, has been thrown out by a majority of only 10.

Wigram Crawford, M.P. for the city of London, and chairman of the Mer cantile Marine Association, has given notice in the House of Commons that he will move, early next ses sion, for a select committee to inquire into the working of the Merchant Shipping Law Amendment Act, 1853. It may be important to include an inquiry into the ope ration of the Passenger Act of 1854.

THE DOG DAYS.—As many persons are desirous of knowing how far the law may be efficacious in putting a stop to the appearance of stray does in the street, it may be well to mention that the Met ro p o li tan P olice Act, 2d and 3d of Victori a , c. 47, s. 54, enac t s , t h at any one, who shall "turn loose, or suffer to be at large, an unmuzz'ed ferocious dog," shall be liable to a penalty of 405., and section 61 of the same act gives power to the police t o d es t roy any d og reasona bl y suspecte d o f b eing in a rabid s t a t e . T nese two sect i ons appear to accom plish all that the most ardent canicide could require. LAST MOMENTS OF THE LATE CAPT. SIR W. PEEL.— We have seen a letter, says the Bristol Times, from a mid shipman of the Shannon, who was with the Naval Bri gade, and which is written to his friends in Hampshire, which gives, in the boy's l anguage , a s i mp l e an d touc hi ng account of le last moments of the gallant officer :—" Of course you have heard of poor Capt. Peel's death; be died ' at Cawnpore, at the house of Mr. Moore, the clergyman there, who seems to have boon very kind to him during his illness. The doctor who attended him would not say how ill he was, although he begged that he might be told at once if ho was in absolute danger. Several times when Mr. Moore went into his rosin he found him on his knees, and when prayers were offer d up in church for his recovery, the day becare his death, he was very much pleased. Throughout his illness he constantly spoke of hie mother and Landy, the village joining his estate iu England, saying how glad they would be to sea him again, and he begged that it might not be generally known how ill he was, for fear his mother should hear it."

THE BODY EXPOSED NEAR SHEERNESS.—Yenterday the churchwardens and overseers of the parish of Min ster appeared before the county magistrates at Sitting• bourne to answer on an information laid against them under the Act of George 111 , cap. 75, sec. 7, for not burying the body of a man found drowned within the parish of Minster. Mr. James Lewis, town-clerk of Rochester, conducted the prosecution, the information being laid by Mr. W. Eigecombe, coroner's constable, by order of the Mayor of Rochester. Mr. Joseph H. Burley, one of the overseers, conducted his own case; and Mr. M'Carthy Stephenson, solicitor, attended to conduct the case for one of the other overseers. The magistrates heard only two witnesses for the proaecutioo, Mr. Edgecombo and the pier con stable, Mr. Carnet, when they retired, and, after a short consultation, on returnieg into court, the Rev. J. P oo l e , chairman, said, as he was quite satisfied the ma• ter would drop there, they said that the notice required by th e A ct of Parliament had not been proved to their sati,f ael i on , and they therefore di-missed the case. Upo n an appli cation of the plaintiff, Mr. William Edgeornbe, th e ma gistrates granted a case to be taken under the A c t s c f the 20 li and 21st of Victoria, cap. 43, whereby the opi nion of the Court of Queen's Bench should be taken to set the matter at rest.

Cresswell, Judge Ordinary IN RE GEORGE CARTER, DECEASED —IMPORTANT POINT. Dr. Waurbey applied for the issue of letters of adminis tration to the deceased's sister. The deceased was born in 1807, and resided with his parents till 1825, when he went to sea, and bad never been since beard of. The sum involved was the deceased's share in 2,1001. 3 per Cent?. Sir O. Cresswel,l said a difficulty arose in this case. By the papers before him the father did not die till 1835, and the presumption was that the deceased died before his father. Dr. Waurbey submitted there was no limited period laid down in the Prerogative Court. Sir C. Cresswell said the presumption in law was that if a person was not heard of within seven years, he was dead, but it fixed no specific time within that period, and he had acted on that assumption ever sines he had sat in that court, and he would continue to do so. Dr. Waurbey suggested that his lordship should grant administration under the discretionary clause. Sir C. Cresssvell said he could not do that, because he might, by so doing, be granting it to the wrong party. The father left a will and executors, giving the property to his children, and in the event of George, the de ceased, not being heard of within four yeqrs, his share should be divided amongst the others. Dr. Waurbey said that if his lordship presumed the father survived the son, he could not ask him to grant letters of administration. Sr 0. Crasswell said he was bound to presume that the deceased was dead at the end of seven years, and that his father survived him. Application refu3ed. IN RE GALSWORTET, DECEASED. Dr. Waurbey said the deceased was a mariner, and resided in Redcliffe-street, Bristol. In August, 1857, las sailed from London, bound to St. Kith's. He arrived there at the end of 34 days, and sailed for England in November following. Neither he nor the crew or the ship had since been heard of ; and it ap peared that during this period heavy gales at sea had occurred in the direct track of the ship, and it was believed the ship must have foundere:), and the deceased, with his crew, perished in consequence. The underwriters had paid the insurance on the ship, and the wife now prayed that probate be granted to her as sole executrix and legatee of her husband. Application granted. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Crewmen, Judge Ordinary.) DAVIS V. DAVIS—ALIMONY. Dr. Tristram, who appeared for the wife, who bad instituted p oceedings for a dissolution of marriage on tLe ground of cruelty and adultery by the husband, applied for alimony pendente late. The respondent was a farmer in Wales, and, according to his statement, he was poseessed cf a freehold worth 1001. a year, a portion of which he let for 301. a year. Ile was also in receipt of 641., exclusive of income-tax, frora certain property belonging to his wife. His stock and furniture he valuc'd at 3371. He also stated himself to be indebted in 6001., for which he paid 271. per annum interest. There were eight children by the marriage —the oldest of whom, a daughter, was married ; the others, who were under age, resided with the mother, the youngest of them being about six years of age. Dr. Deane, who appeared for the husband, said the question of the custody of the children would have to Come before the Court on a future day. The sworn in. come cf the hu,baud W 3,3 1641., leas 271. interest, and he was possessed of 387/., stock and furniture.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE MORRIS BROWN AND CO . - PETITION TO ANNUL-- IMPORTANT QUESTION. To-day was appointed for hearing a petition to super sede the bankruptcy of Messrs. Morris Brown and Co., who were extensive Government contractors, &e., at Rochester and Chatham. Mr. Roxburgh and Mr. Pook were for the bankrupts., Mr. Holroyd for the opposing creditor, a gentleman named Crampton, and one of the as7ignecs, but who had not proved hie debt. The case, although not entirely novel in some respect, is of impottince with regard to others, affecting the in terests of creditors dissenting to a compromise. It ap peared that an arrangement had been proposed and agreed to by every creditor but Mr. Crampton, a cre&- tor to a large amount, but who had not proved his debt, and he on some ground opposed the present petition. His Honour read a leiter from Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, who was the commissioner to whom the case had been ballotted, expressing his opinion that the present motion ought not to be heard until a question between Mr. Crampton and the bankrupts had been decided. His Honour said that be so fully coincided in the view of the case which the learned Commissioner Holroyd bad taken that he would suggest to counsel not to proceed. Mr. Roxburgh objected to any postponement—the case came before the Court in the usual way, and he-felt assured that it would not be at all influenced by information not strictly before the Court, for however deferentially he might yield to the decision or opinion of one learned commissioner under one state of circumstances, he insisted on the right of th e bankrupts to be heard on their petition, as all the creditors had been satisfied except the opposing creditor, whose debt had been tendered to him. The learned counsel alludod to several cases in which supersedeas had been granted adverse to the opposition of an individual creditor. His lionour wished to know whs'her any case coulJ a supersedeas could be claimed as a right. Lord Eldon had hold that it was a matter in the discretion of the Court. Mr. Roxburgh said that this case differed very much —waiving for the instant, however, the right here was a case of discretion —every creditor who had proved agreed ; but one who had not, but could be paid in full, refused, and why should he be allowed to intervene between the bankrupts and their creditors, and ruin all their future Prospects. In such a cave as this it would be hard, in• deed, to lay down the diction that a party who, although he might be a creditor by his own lachee, had not proved his debt, should be now allowed to appear as a party in the cause in Court.

On Thursday last Sir Henry Bul wer paid his official visit at the Porte, having the day before called privately only, accompanied by Mr. Pisani, the first dragoman, on the Grand Vizier and the Minister for Foreign Affairs. For his official visit the Ambassador went down in her Majesty's steamer Swallow, which is on the station here. He landed at the Seraglio Point, where carriages were in waiting for the party, which took them up through the gardens of the Old Seraglio to the Sublime Porte. Here guards and servants had turned out to receive them, and the official presen tation took place, first to the Minister for Foreign Affairs and then to the Grand Vizier. The pipe being smoked and the coffee drunk, the Ambassador mounted on horseback, and followed by hip suite in carri4ges, went to call on the &raskier. In the courtyard of the Seraskierate the guard was under arms, with a band of music in attendance, to re ceive him. After the Seraskier's, came the turn of the Kapudan Pasha ; and after another hot ride through the streets of Stamboul the Ambassador got into his caique, which was in waiting at the old bridge, and went to the Arsenal, the official resi dence of the Kapud Pasha. When he approached, the men-of-war lying in the harbour gave the usual salute of 19 guns, and the guard all th e m ili tary honours. With this last visit the day's proceed ings clo,ed. They were not a little wearisome, will.' 98 deg. in the shade, and a sirocco blowing. On Monday next the audience at the Palace is to take place. GERMANY. The Criminal Court of Butzow, in Mecklenburg Schwerin, has just concluded the trial of lift en in habitants of Rostock for having been concQrned in a conspiracy for overthrowing the Governments of Germany, and especially that of Mecklenburg, in order to establish a republic, and for having rai:_ , ed funds for purchasing arms tnd ammunition, and transmitted them to a secret society at Berlin. The conspiracy was concocted so far back as 1851, and was discovered at the beginning of 1853, since which the prosecution has been pending !

Mr. Beadon said, for such an assault, under such Cit . cumstances, he should commit him for trial. The prisoner was then committed for trial. A. REGULAR AND THAMES. AN IRREGULAR SHOEBLACIL" Patrick Donovan, a dirty rough-looking Irish boy, vibe is connected with a very wicked family, and whose parents have been frequently punished for assault , drunkenne.is, and disorderly conduct, was brought be fore Mr.)Yardley, charged with stealing 7 foreign coiner the property of Robert Goby. The prosecutor, a clean well-behaved lad with bb l hair combed with neat precision, formed a striking con' trast to the dirty blackguard alongside of him. Gob! is a member of the Ragged School Shoeblack Brigade, and was dressed in the uniform of the class to which be belongs, with a badge on his arm. He said he had a stand assigned to him in Grace's-alley, Wellclose-square. The prisoner waslalso a shoeblack, but he did not belong to the brigade, and often abused visitors, and attempted to rob hien. Yesterday afternoon ho left his box only for a minute, and upon his return be saw the prisoner in stooping position over his box where he kept his black' ing and brushes. lie asked the prisoner what he vial doing there, to which he made no reply, but ran awaY. Witness directly missed seven foreign copper coins from his box, and ran after him, and be soon overtook him. He asked him to restore the coins, which he refused to do, and swore at him, and said he would have all the money in the box. He called a police-constable, who Blade the prisoner restore the coins, and sent the pris oner about his business. Soon afterwards the prisoner and five or six others came to his box and commenced beating him. The policeman came again and took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner said he took the coins for a lark, and policeman, after he had restored them to Goby, kicked him, and would not l et him blacken any more shoes. Policeman, No. 173 11, said, he did not kick the pri' soner, but he made him turn out the foreign coins from his pocket and told him to go about his business. About three minutes afterwards he saw the prisoner and others boating Goby, and he then took the prisoner into cue' body. The prisoner was a regular pest to the neighbour' hood, and his father was a most incorrigible drunkard. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner wile an old thief, who had passed through his hands more than once. Mr. Yardley said it was most scandalous to be pig' ing tricks with and robbing a lad who obtained a living by honest industry. He convicted the prisoner, and sentenced him to be imprisoned for three days and to be well whipped. SE RIO US PO ACHING AFFRAY NEAR B kIGHT ON. Between two and three o'clock on Saturday morning a most desperate fight took place with trio ' poaohers and three watchers ou Colonel Paine's grounds at Patcham, three miles northward of Brighton, at which place the poachers resided. They are two most desperate characters, named Poplett and Winton, the former of whom was mixed up in a garotte case some time since. Oa Friday night, the local constable of Patcham, earned Graitnes, had his suspicions aroused, and be obtained the assistance of two men, named Clark and Brown (enip'oyed by Colonel Paine and Mr. Tanner as watchers), and all three proceeded to some unenclosed laud belonging, to Colonel Paine, where they fou n d several rabbits wired and a large quantity of snares set. They lay by . them till the above -mentioned time, when Poplett and Winton came along, and proceeded to take the rabbits out • of the wires ; Clark then walked up to them, and without a word being passed he was struck a heavy blow over the head with a bludgeon by Pop lett, who called upon Winton, at the same time re peating the blow, to "Come and knock his brains out. Graimes and Brown immediately ran to the assistance of Clark, and a most desperate encounter took place, and even after Winton was secured by Brown, Poplett had afeatful fight with the other two, and it was not before he was nearly killed that he was secured and handcuffed, and placed under the care of the East Sussex constabulary. All parties were severely injured, and Mr. Dixon, sur geon, who attended, said he was an hour and a half in dresdng Poplett'a wounds, he having received , seven severe cuts on the head, besides contused wounds on the body. His captors were also severely punished. The case was taken before the countymagistraLs at Hove in th e a f ternoon. The chair man of the bench (Mr. C. Carpenter) said they • we:'€) bound to convict, but they thought great vio lence had been used, perhaps more than was neces4 nary, seeing that the watchers were the stronger of the two parties. lie then sentenced the two pri soners to one month's imprisonment each, and ordered them to find sureties to keep the peace for six months from the expiration of that time, them selves in 101., and sureties each in 61. At the con clusion of the case, Mr. Carpenter said he thought it WAS a sad pity that inthe neighbourhood of large and populous towns like Brighton unenclosedlands should be preserved.
