NONEY 2IARKET AND CITY 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 evcn 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 Bank of France return will likewise 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 n intley 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. Laur'ir, 4: l* , 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 111 ,,' 1 eh bel ow those of the preceding year. The tuirectors had taken over the private bank at Stone, ft lar oelonging to William Moore, Esq., by which tge b usiness would be done with the pot eries. The ac coun t s s h owe d t h e f o ll ow i ng resu lt s : pot net profits of 1858, £100,317 Bs. ld.-making, With the reserve fund set apart in Government secur iti es, the su m o f £297 , 698 3s. 2d ., f rom w hi c h t wo divide n d s were paid for 1858, amounting to £48,0001, leaving an undivided profit on the 31st "eeeraber, 1 858, of £249,698 3s. 2d. The directors lI°W proposed, out of the profits of the last year, t° ° P a y, in additi on to t h e h a lf- year ' s di v id en d pa id the proprietors, a b onus o f 71 p er cen t., ma ki ng ti the divi s i on of profit for 1858 in all 151 per cent. 1. 1 )(4 1 the Paid-up capital of the company. The e Z er ve fund would then be £204,698 3s. 2d. The air rnan having moved the adoption of the re- Po '4 h _ it Was agreed to, after some di scuss i on as tot necessity of fo rm i ng an annu it y f un d f or e clerks of the establishment, which the chair man said should have their best consideration. The B ank of England directors at their meeting today, determined upon making no further change ; thei r terms of discount at present. This result i s generally ant i cipated, although it was imagined u, some instances that an alteration might be con 'lldered desirable. r Nothwith s t anding the continued inactivity of ~° l6 mark e t the English Funds have been rather bu oyant. During the ea r ly h ours o f b us iness the o.uotations showed an advance of per cent., but since then a slight reaction has taken plac e. Consols, which have been as high as fito 921 are now 91i to 92 for money, and 911 7,- the account. Bank Stock has advanced to 217 and 220 ; the New Threes to 901 and 911 ; the ndlted uce d to 904 t o 911 ; Excheq uer Bill s to 245. 265. ; and India Loan Debentures to 94. The t`eW India Loan S cr i p i s fi rmer at 11 to 11- e i ng marked 9311, The t ransactions in the Foreign Stock Market e tinue of a rather numerous character, and quota tions are w ith out any material alteration, Turkish Per Cent s , being 64 to 66 ; a d itto New, 54 to 56 ; and the 4 per Cents, are steady at 991; Portuguese 4,4 t 40; Peruvian (Uribarr en) a t 76, and Brazilian 1 -Per Cents, at 88 to 891, but the 5 per Cents. have aztdvanced: to 98 99 ; D u t c h 21 per C en t s . t o 591, and ' 44 )4 per Cents, to 92.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and the Lords Justices.) APPEAL JU D GMENT-ODDIE V. BROWN. 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 names 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 mould, 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 £3,000, 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 lest 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 good to the tenants for life and their descendants 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. CBIMINAL COUNT.-(THIS DAY.) OLD COURT. :Before Mr. Justice Crowder, and Mr. Baron Channell.) THE WAGNER FORGERIES. Andrew Foster, hatter; William Wynn 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 Revenue for Bill Stamps; also detained for having unlawfully in his cus tody and possesion counterfeit coin. Mr. Bodkin, who appeared in support of the prosecution, 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 Eva at Chumh-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 •heque 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. The 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 far 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 Nu.ant out for a walk, and he said he had advertised (mentioning no paper). I answered him, as to presenting the cheque, in the affirmative. Ho could bring the paper containing the advertisement in the morning. He said that be 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. Ho said he shad 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. He 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 bina i till Monday, -the 21st March. That was at Grafton-phteo > Euston-square. Bramwell was at Grafton-place when I arrived. Ile said, " Meet me at two o'clock." I did se, 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, " go now." I did not notice the gentleman, but he could see. land 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 nod day. I kept that appointment; he did not, and I went home and received soon afterwards the letter pro. cluced 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 Is. 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 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, 40 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 b 3 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 the road—Forster then entered into conversation with Humphries. Humphries left and I and Forster went to a public house together. He said, " Now lam a very particular man. I don't allow a second man to know my business, and if you go _ _ into this affair with rue you must be as strict." I saw nothing more of Humphries. I was with Forster half-an-hour. While with 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 left 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 Fwster 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 you 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 not be ready for half an hour, what will you do?" I said "Go for a walk. lam 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, Wager; 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; andlwhen 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 Lis Lat. 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?" He said, " Yes." I showed him the letter, and said I was the person that put in the advertisement. He said—" You 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 tail s'teque to the Bank (handing me some pieces of paper)." I said I could got back before ono. lie said, " I don't want it before ono." I came ouWdo. [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. 'Oatsido was the prisoner Forster. I said I had left the letter, and should go back for it. Ho 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 checpies 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. The case was proceeding when we went to press. 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 bby aged about 14, for receiving some metal stolen by the latter. The jury found both prisoners guilty. The Recorder sentenced Wall to nine, and thd boy to luve 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 money, although the prisoner had previously denied having done so. The pri soner had 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 out 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 ? It appears that he has been in your father's service for many years, and between two and three in your own. Your 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 CREATINGA. DISTURBANCE. —CAUTION TO PURCHASERS OF COALS.—Henry Clark, of 23, Weston-place, King's Cross, coal merchant, was charged with creating a disturbance at the New York Hotel, 182, Leicester-itreet, 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 Heel, 182, Leicester-street, said that on the previous afternoon a person called on him, and said he cams 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 skid he was a coal merchant,, and his name was Clark, without tlko‘ 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 publicAlkthe detriment of the Great Northern' Railway Coal company by selling a vet) , • 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'P 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 mating a disturbance Was concerned, he had'no business to collect a debt in the way ho 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 DAUGHTER.—FINE NAMES AND FINE CLOTRES.—MaryAnn Chappell 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 finety 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 boot! stolen from the house of witness and had them on now. Mr. Selfe—What is the place in Devonshire-rtrtvt ? 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 prosiitele. is that se ? Mrs. Chappell, who was deeply affected, silo), that urns true. Her daughter absconded about nine months robbing her, went upon the town and rettvrncli ed" ago. Her daughter promised to be a goc-d via s L and her father did all they could to reclainl her. Other evidence was gone into, from whi?..o l, two girls had been visiting theatres arid' Olt:ell-rooms Monday and two following; nights, anl f minds to lead a degraded life, for which te..y p4t chased the finery on their persons. Mrs. Chappell said, if her daughier b.. suit Reformatory School and reclaimed frr,ii a C.) , Wft, would involve the destruction of both a l and Ledy, 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 g irl Chappell was incotrigible, and the best thing to be done was to send her to prison for a very long time. He sen tenced her to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for siz m onths. He also convicted Wigley and senten ce d h er to six weeks' imprisonment and hard labour. NEW COLONIAL BISH OP .-- The. Rev. Prebendary Tuffnell, the recently appo i nted . rector of St. Peter's, Marl borough, Wilts, has been appointed to the newly-established bishopric of More . toil lay, Australia, and is consequently about to resign his In:mg. 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, a l t h oug h several ladies were in the i mme di ate vicinity, no one was wider the spot. Mr. Beaumont, of Nottingham, who was standing in the front row, was, however, thrown very heavily to the ground, and se vere l y bruised. Several other gentlemen were also precipitated into the body hall, but beyond a severe shaking sustained no serious inconvenience. Mr. Beaumont was less fortunate. He was taken up of the nearly reisntsoen sible and conveyed into the committee-room, wherebefore the meet: . fives were applied,and we are happy to say be removed to his g broke up he was sufficiently recovered to alarm was felt in the own house. Of c o urse considerable meeting,: and great confusion took place,which was only quieted an assurance *QM the chairman that no serious injury had been sustained. It was some time, however, subdued to enable before the excitement was sufficien.tl y the proceedings of the meeting to be resumed. 1 I 1 d I 21 21 75 71 2 19p 22 24 54 5 7 10 0 1124 33 35 I I 8 10 NEWMARKET RACES.-(THI8 DAT.)

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 is: of his po wers as an uncu lti va t e d coun t r y s to a lover of wild sport. What would he do without a division t o b e ana l yse d, some fl agrant bi ts o f cor ruption . to be expos e d, an d a goo d b u tt f or his jokes the shape of some sleek, blooming, fussy, ecclesiastic ? There ought to be a Sir James in every county and boro ug h, an d h e wou ld k eep a l up to their work. The new generation has too short a.memory, and ha s an unw i se contempt f or what it thinks to b e sma ll t hi ngs. Si r Jam( despises nothing, and does hi s wor k th oroug hl. 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 i n t o an affair of State. A valued friend becom es a historical personage ; a neighbour shines with reflected light, and the correspondence' 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 making themselves 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 'Caylisle, how ought' ordinary people to bestir themselves for their counties anti 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 of adherents, and in a good Majority over a respect able_ antagonist. Let nobody say that he has searched the land from Dan to Beershela 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 his been achieved—it matters libt much who it is, but he occupies ' a very large and honourable place in Sir James's mind, and need not la ment the fate which has associated hisi name with that 'of Sir James Graham. Carlisle, too, _may be reasonably proud of returning a man who_ endows it with 'ten tidies its fair proportion of public si,,o-nificance. One reads in works of to pography that 'once on a time a. Parliament was held at Such a place; ' how with scant remains or token of Parliamentaxy•iinportance ; 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-honse Assenibly-rOom some of the topics which..will tery early engage the at- • tion of Parliament, or at least ought to do so. 'Have • our Ministers been: dedeivere or deceived aboiit the Gallo-rreneh convention ? . Is France or Austrier the more to blame for the War, which will desolaii one of the fairest regions of the earth, and take it half a century to get over, even if it spread ho further? Then we.may be sure of a good searching_ debate into the corrupt influences employed At' Berwick, at. Doter and in the West of Ireland. L At • " -- a quarter of a million a-year we have a perf6etly; regular and trustworthy packet and postal service with America. .Over and above this, and, to its de-: triment, Lord Derby has now promised -X70,006 • • a-year to anew company for doing , What is other , • wise 'provided for, and has . obtained some Iriab. vdes.by, this outlay of half a million. Sir James's • 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 a.k 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 anything else is that he finds Lord Derby stealing his thunder. The worthy baronet has always bem 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, Iwhether, they be Protestant or Papist. In Ireland he has , dropped more than hints that he would be ready to give a charter to a Catholic University. " Why,' says, or at least implies, Sir James, " this is the very thing 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 ought to be his. He has a right to the itself sh Sir James a g t mdaheLimeseo causes.o ospursrfdoiri reaping aitrn Derbyh: h e iam e otnTruf communion idhraleeeyyltof ihianifesji eoNurdus ioN.ts,iharvest.apee injustice audaciouslywusiwhichetsaehrgitteasr emsoeta s oe:n u anwillhb a nda. uai d msest, e oac n asninti n l eto y herdatti a3csmwLitit finds ho nsaoberylne hi ms elf w D tbghreh e eey r i a b olcetnh y award honours to the rightful claimants. 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 LibTal cause, and no friendly . pen may discriminate between the for gotten original and the famous copy. It is not in our power to set this injustice right. It is not, indeed, our business to court fame, ana we cannot pretend to distribute it. Sir Jaines graham must take refuge in an approving conscience, and leave Lord Derby to make virtues themselves vices by taking them up jxst to suit his purpose, and no further.—limes.

THE GOVERNORSHIP OF NEWGATE.—Mr. Wea therhead, the late governor of Newgate, who has been ap pointed to fill the same office in the City prison at Hollo way, still continues to act as the Governor of Newgate, the Court of Aldermen not having yet appointed a successor. There were originally a considerable number of candidates, and among them was Mr. Jones, who has for more than twenty years filled the office of clerk of the papers in the prison, a gentleman well acquainted with the duties re:: quired of the governor of a gaol of this ark who has given the greatest satisfaction by the m n an or t a tsm which he has performed his own duties.
