The .LoaD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. _ _ PRIVATE BILLS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the fallowing bills were read a second time :—Oaledonian Railway (Dal raarnooh branch) ; and Symington, Biggar and Brough ton Railway. The Haslingden and Rawtenstall Water Bill was read a third time and passed. Earl GRANVILLE said in consequence of what had been stated in another place, he felt anxious, although not strictly in order, to put a question to the noble earl the President of the Board of Control. He took the liberty of asking the noble earl whether it had come to his knowledge that a right honourable gentleman, the leader of the Government in another place, bad stated that the Government disapproved in toto of Lord Canning's proclamation which appeared in the public journals this morning. He also wished to know whether the answer of the right hon. gentleman received the concurrence of the noble earl. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH raid of what took place in another place he knew nothing. No communi cation had taken place between himself and the right bon. gentleman referred to (Mr. Disraeli) as to terms in which the answer should be given. The right hon. gentleman was perfectly cognisant of the contents of the letter which had been written to the Governor-General on the part of the Government. Earl GRANVILLE asked if the answer given to the question in another place contained a correct description of the views of the Government in reference to the pro clamation of Lord Canning ? The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said the proclama tion, together with the answer would be laid on their lord ships' table to-morrow. CUSTOMS (No. 2) BILL. On the motion of the Earl of DONOUGHMOILE, this bill WAS read a second time. EXCISE DUTIES BILL. On the motion of the Earl of DONOUGIEVLORE, this bill was also read a second time. REVISION OF THE LITURGY. Lord EBURY rose to move that an humble address be presented to her Majesty for a commission, to c der whether the Liturgy of the Church of England be not capable of such alteration as may render it more profitable than it now is for the religious instruction and edifica tion of the people. The noble earl said he understood that a feeling of great hostility to the address was enter tained, more especially by the clergy in the province cf Canterbury ; but he hoped before ho resumed his seat to convince the right rev. prelates that there existed no good ground of hostility to kis motion. It had fre quently been observed by some cf the right reve rend prelates that the services of the Church were too long and quite unsuited to the requirements of the population. In no less than 11 principal cities of the kingdom there • existed associations of the clergy, established solely for the purpose of obtaining a revision of the liturgy. In the course of 200 years we had got four or five services pressed into one, and the result. was constant repetition, wearied congregations, and endless length, which tended to produce feelings quite the con trary to those intended. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Evening, The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The following private bills were read a third time and passed :—Cora wall Railway, Eutern Counties Railway, London and South Western Railway, Trent Naviga tion, and Vauxhall Bridge Road. Mr. SULLIVAN presented a petition from the pa rishioners of St. Patrick, in favour of tenant right. WINDSOR NEW ROAD BILL. Mr. C. FORSTER moved that the order that the re port do lie on the table, in reference to the Windsor New Road Bill, be read, and discharged ; that the bill be re committed to the former committee, with leave to sit arid proceed on Friday,—Agreed to. RAILWAY BILLS (GROUP 2). Col. W. PATTEN moved that Sir J. Rams len be discharged from further attendance on Group 2 of Rail way Blllg.—Agreed tn. EXPENSES OF THE WAR DEPARTMENT. Mr. M.A.CARTNEY asked the following question of the Secretary to the Treasury—namely, whether, in compliance with the provisions of the Act 9 and 10 Vic., o. 92, the accounts and vo uchers of the expenditure for the several branches of the service in the War Department fur the year ending March 31, 1857, have been sent complete for examination and audit to the office of the commissioners for auditing the public accounts, and if not, what is the cause of the de lay, and in what section of the department the accounts have not been so completed ; also, whether the out standing accounts for the service of the army in the Crimea during the years 1854, 1855, and 1856, have been examined, arranged, and reported upon to the Audit Office or Treasury, for which service a first-class Commiseary-General has been retained upon full pay since the close of the war in the East ? Mr. HAMILTON said that the accounts and vouchers referred to had been sent in for audit to the audit office. With regard to the latter part of the question, the ac counts for 1854 and 1855 had been sent in, and those for 1856 and 1857 were in course of preparation. Com. miesary-General Adams , with one assistant, was engaged on them. TREATY. OF PEACE. Mr. HADFIELD asked the following question of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, whether (under 14th Pro tocol, p. 59 of Conferences of the Plenipotentiari h es at Paris, 1856, relative to the Trea t y ( f Peace), there as been a revision of the stipulations which regulate the commercial relations of the Porte with other Powers, or in the position of foreigners resident in Turkey, and whether (agreeably to the recorded wish of the Plenipotentiaries) a deliberation has been cpened at Constantinople since the conclusion of peace, between the Porte and other poSvers, with the view of attaining the twofold object in such a manner as to afford satisfaction to all legitimate interests; and, if there had been no such revision and de liberation, whether this country, in its commercial rela tions with the Porte, ranked amongst the most favoured nations as to fiscal and other duties in all commercia' t one, and the residence of the British subjects in 'turkey,; end whether any beneficial change bad taken P"'" mum the war ; and were negotiations in progres , to faotaryte.t_he_eo The commerce of this country with Turkey ? revision 'ita c itlß e L t LOß of the EXCHEQUER said no the. question rtlyerretdakr place on the subject to which mance.

What I want to know is, if that particulaz part of the proclamation was issued in accordance with any direction from the Government in India, or if no , whether the Home Gov?Tnmen t has sent any directions .._,„ ... •. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 6, 1858. gentleman to state to the house the steps he intends to take with regard to it,. The question is of so much im portance that I think the right hon. gentleman will agr-e with him it should be fully ~ .nd distinctly answered. (Hear, hear ) Mr. BA ILLlE—Three weeks since her Majesty's Government received a dispatch containing a proclama tion from the Governor-General of India, in which it was stated it was his intention to issue, as soon as her Majesty's troops were in possession of Lucknow. That I believe is the proclamation referred to, a copy of which I have seen in to-day's papers.-Its provisions agree with those in the proclamation received by her Majesty's Government, with the exception of one para graph, which I belive has since been added to it. As soon as the proclamation was received by her Majesty's Go vernment it was taken into consideration, and a dispatch was written and forwarded to 'the Governor-General ex pressing the views and the opinions of her Ma jesty's Government in reference to it. There would be no objection to lay a copy of the proclamation on the table of the house, and also a copy of the despatch written in reference to it. The confiscation was not inserted in the proclamation of the Governor- General of India in consequenee of any instructions sent out by her Majesty's Government, but it was issued en tirely on the authority of the Government of India, Mr. .T. BRlGHT—Perhaps the right hon. gentleman will tell the house the tenor of the answer of her Ma jesty's Government to the proclamation, that it may go forth to the country with the question and answer al ready given. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER—A copy of the despatch shall be laid on the table of the house, as stated by the right hon. gentleman the Vice- President of the Board of Controul, but I think it right to state that when we received information of this in tended proclamation, her Majesty's Government took it into their consideration, and the despatch we have sent to the Governor-General of India disapproves of his policy in this respect in every sense. (Loud cheers.) TENANT RIGHT (IRELAND). THE LIBERAL PARTY AND ITS PRESENT POSITION. The fact is, the Liberals have been in office too long. For the last 11 years, with the exception of a few months during which Lord Derby was in power, they have had the cards entirely in their own hands. They have had three Premiers out of their own ranks, each representing a distinct section of the party, and each naturally jealous and distrustful of the others. Lord Palmerston united with the Opposition to overthrow Lord J. Russell in 1852. Lord J. Russell united with the Opposition to overthrow Lord Palmerston in 1858. Neither of them can work in concert with Lord Aberdeen ; neither of them can work in concert with the other. There is a large party which could be happy with either were the other away, but which will not pledge itself absolutely to the exclusion of the other Of this party a strong Liberal phalanx might be formed, were the rival leaders qnietly diposed of. But we have little hope that any length of opposition wilt break down the jealousies among them. It is how ever, possible that a fewyears may raise some man in the Liberal ranks of sufficient practical ability, and with sufficient fitness for command, to rally under his standard the shattered forces of the Li beral party. But, suppose, this should not be the case ; suppose the various knots on the left, in stead of welding into one solid mass, dissolve away • into their constituent elements, what worse is the prospect of the Liberals It is only what has hap pened 100 times before. Every party after a few years comes to a dead-lock ; the party vanishes or is destroyed, but the same principles still live, the same circumstances prompt the same measures, the same evils suggest the same remedies, and some new party, springing up from a quarter where no one expected it, at last carries them into effect. Political parties, like everything else in this mov ing age, are in a state of perpetual transition. There is hardly a leading man, living or dead, who has not been connected with different parties. Pitt, the idol of the Tories, was a thorough-going Radical ; Burke, the idol of the Whigs, was the most obstinate of Conservatives ; Peel, who started among the Tories, ended by founding a powerful section of the Liberal party. Canning before his death was coming rapidly to Liberalism ; and Lord Palmerston, his successor, is classed among the Li beral leaders. There have beencoalitions and divi sions, compromises and changes, till nothing old re mains. It would be as hopeful a task to draw a sharp line between the descendants of the Saxons, the Danes, and the Normans of the 11th century, as be ' tween the successors of the Tories, the Whigs, and the Radicals of 30 years ago. It need hardly, then, be taken as political prodigy if the fortuitous com bination of atoms which for ten years or more has gone under the name of the Liberals should never more appear before the world as a distinct political party. We shall be well content if from either side of the house, or from a fusion of different elements in both, there arise a body of men with views suffi ciently advanced to meet the progressive spirit of the age, and sufficiently sober to answer the de mands of practical statesmanship. That such a party will arise, whether by a complete modifica tion of all existing political divisions, or by fresh life being given to some of the many sections into which the Liberals are now divided, ail history and experience concur to teach. Of one thing we may be perfectly sure—that, whatever may become of the Liberal party, Liberal principles - are just as safe, and the progress of Liberalism quite as cer tain, as if its leaders were dwelling together in unity, and dispensing patronage among their aris tocratic friends with their former openhanded pro digality.—Leeds Mercury.

HER MAJESTY'S PLATE Fisherman Mr. GREER moved for a select committee to inquire into the nature, origin, and extent of the tenant right custom in Ireland, the recent violations of it in Donegal and other northern counties, and to consider and report how far it may be practicable to protect, for the benefit of the occupying tenants, the property which had been creatad under that custom. The hon. gentleman entered at great length into the history of holdings in Ireland generally. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. Gemma di Vergy CHESTER SPRING MEETING. TUESDAY'S RACES CONCLUDED.

Haymaker was fifth ; Darling lost start, and was last throughout. WEDNESDAY—THE CUP DAY. By an early hour in the morning the streets and rows were crowded with visitors. The vicinity of the Royal Hotel, the rendezvous for betters and idlers, was at times quite impassable, and it required no little dexterity to thread one's way through the narrow thoroughfare to the course, and to escape the wheels of the flies and coaches which rattled into the city. Alternations of clouds and sunshine caused the spirits of the expectant pleasure-folk to droop, as they threatened to mar the gaiety of the Cup day. At intervals the sun peeped forth, and revealed patches of a light blue sky. Heavy sombre clouds, however, gathered again, and as the time appointed for assembling on the Roodee approached a thin drizzling rain sent the visitors, who were dressed in holiday attire, limp and disappointed to the course. Still the Roodee presented a thronged and animated appearance ; embankments were black with a closely-packed mass of spectators, while people swarmed over the city walls and on every coign of 'vantage like bees. The balcony of the Grand Stand, toe, was quite gay with ladies' dresses, and the vast concourse of people assembled on the course showed that the great race w hich had drawn them together had lost none of its interest or popularity. Ever and anon, too, the clouds broke, land before the sun was con cluded the sun came out and lit ) up gaily the sur rounding scene. Little attention was bestowed, either by the pro fessional turfites or by-the pleasure-folk on the two minor events which preceded the Cup race. As the horses entered the saddling paddock they were surrounded and eagerly scrutinised, while specula tion in the inclosure was carried on amid the shouting and pushing which ever precedes the de cision of an important race. The betting, however. was not remarkably brisk. The principal move ments in the town during the morning had been with reference to Sweet William, who was in in creased demand, and about whom as little as 4 to 1 was at one time taken. The only other important transactions were with reference toAdamas, against whom as much as 33 to 1 was betted, but before subscribers quitted the room a few investments brought him to 20 to 1. Of the ', outsiders" Night Ranger was backed freely at 50 to 1. By the way, we may state that after our telegram was despatched on Tuesday night 100 to 6 was taken to money about the Hadji for the Derby. The Helter Skelter Handicap of 5 sovs each, with 30 added.

The race was appointed to take place at half-past 3, but owing to the delay which occurred in getting the horses from the post the start was delayed nearly an hour. We are therefore compelled to give only a brief description of the running, re race until to-morrow. LATEST DERBY BETTING-. 6 to 1 agst Toxopholite 10 to 1 agst Longrange The excellence of the business arrangements and the regularity with which the proceedings were conducted, attested the zeal and earnestnes with which the officials worked. An admirably disci plined body of police, under the direction of Mr. Hill, the chief constable, preserved order on the course, and cleared the running ground, prior to each race, with a temper and promptitude worthy of all commendation. In the weighing department, under the management of Mr. Horsley, the busi ness was conducted without noise and bustle, and Mr. Topham, the Clerkof the Course, was as usaal actively engaged in superintending the management of the meeting. Special trains in connection with all parts of the country were "put on," and owing to the many competing lines which now run into Chester, an extraordinary scene of confusion was presented at the railway station. The screech of the engine whis tles, the shouts of the passengers, and the clamour at the various entrances, were perfectly stunning. The railway authorities, however, had taken every precautirn to insure the safety of the passengers, but all their efforts were ineffectual to prevent people dashing wildly into wrong trains, or stop ping 50 persons from crowding into comparments which would only hold a dozen. Toe officials, however, behaved in the most praiseworthy man lier, and ainiAst all the rushing and rioting, no se lions accident we believe occurred. LEFT SPEAKING. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

An inquiry was commenced yesterday,. at the Queen's Head, Hoxton Old Town, touching the deaths of James Henry Alfred Moorton, aged three years and seven months, and George Moorton, aged two years and five months, whose father is a manufacturer of coloured India rubber air balls, at 68, Mary-street, Hoxton. Sarah Langham, the grandmother of the children, having at ,ted that she had noticed the children dwindling away during the last two months—exhibiting in particular, a blackness under the eyes, and a heavy drowsy appearance—added that George, the youngest, was seized with a fit on Monday week last, and expired on the followi ng W e d nes d ay —hi s b re th er b e i ng similarly attacked on Saturday last, and dying on Sunday afternoon.

LAMBETH.--James Edwards, charged with robberies of taverns and coffeeshops, was again brought up on remand. Mrs. Jarvis deposed that she keeps the King's - Arms Tavern, Hanway-street, Oxford-street, and that on the 2d Dec. last the prisoner engaged a bedroom in her house, which he occupied until the 11th Dec., when he left, stating that he was going to Brighton. The prisoner on his departure had with him a carpet bag, the bulky appearance of which attracted the notice but did not excite the suspicions of w,tness. The same evening, her son, on coming home, missed his watch from his bed room, and an examination of the premises followed, when it was discovered that a gold watch and chain, a seconds silver watch, two brooches, two silk dresses, and other property to the value of ,20/. had been stolen. Mrs. Hhmphreys, of the King William Tavern, King William-street, Strand, proved that prisoner had lodged at her house for three days in April last, and after ho left she missed a new white watered silk wedding dress, a case of dessert knives, and other property, to the value of upwards of 151. The dress she had since seen at a pawnbroker's, with whom, by his own confession, it had been pledged by the prisoner. The prisoner was committed for trial on these charges. MARLBORO UGH- STREET.—BETTING-HOUSE CASE.—Wm. Hutcher, beershop keeper, 3, Upper St. Martin's-lane ; James Upsdell, of 7, Jane place, Cornwall-road, toll collector ; John Finch, 47, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's-inn, watchmaker ; Charl€s Lines, 18, Newcastle-street, Strand, toll collector ; John Rickford, 10, Salisbury-street, Strand, toll collector ; John Rickford, jun., same address, barman ; Jesse Pett, 22, G riffin-street, York-road, toll collector ; Thomas Stanton, 16, Francis-street, Waterloo-road, traveller ; Henry Jackson, Rose street, Long-acre, stableman ; and William Walsh, 19, Litchfield-street, Soho, stable man, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged, the first-named defendant as the keeper of a common betting-house, and the others with being found in the same house while betting trans actions were going on. Mr. Superintendent Hannant, of the C division I of police, produced an order signed by Sir Richard Mayne,•the chief commissioner of police, in conse quence of which he entered the defendant Hatchet's house, accompanied by Inspector Webb, and Ser geant Silverton, at half-past seven on Tuesday evening. Hatcher was behind the bar ; Upsdell and Finch in a small room, like a bar-parlour ; and the rest were in front of the bar. Rickford was reading a racing card for the Chester races. H e told Hatcher he was a superintendent of police, and produced the warrant ; and that he must take all into custody who were there. Inspector Webb searched the defendants, and took from Hatcher, in his presence, a betting-book. On some of the others similar books were found, and the defendants were all removed in custody to the station. On searching the room subsequently, he found a card of the Chester Cup for May, 1858, the odds in pencil marked against several horses. Other betting books and cards were also found relating to the Chester Cup race, the handicaps, and the Derby. In one of these books the name of " Tyce" was discovered as staking a bet of five crowns to one on the horse S4unterer. The name Tyce was that of a man he had previously sent to the house to see what was goil,g on, and make a bet. Inspector Webb corroborated the previous evi dence, adding that on Richford, jun., he found a flash note. _ _ Policeman A 382 (George Crisp), went to the S;veral other persons who had been robbed by the prisoner in the same way were in attendance to identify him, but Mr. Elliott said there were four cases complete against him, and it would be unne cessary to multiply them. house dressed as a gentleman's servant, according to instruction% given him, and was present when Tyce made the bet alluded to by the superinten dent. He was there on several occas'ons, when he saw the defendant Hatcher active in receivin g bets, which he endorsed in a book, inviting him to let his fellow-servants know, as he might as well have their money as any one else. Mr. Hannant having finished the case, The defendant Hatcher said it was all true, he had taken the two bets. The rest of the defen dants said they were merely there for refreshment. Mr. Bingham said, Hatcher must have known the law, and he should fine him 501. or three months' imprisonment. The rest of the defendants were discharged with severe cautions. WESTMINSTER—WiIIiam Fielder, a man about 30 years of age, was charged with stealing a gold chain, two gold seals, a pair of bracelets, some brooches, and other articles of value, the property of Mary Ann Lane., The prosecutrix, who is housekeeper at Mr. Wallace Hotel, St. George's-row, Knight4bridge, said that the prisoner had been engaged there as an assistant waiter from Christmas to Easter last. During that time the prosecutrix and others in the house repeatedly missed property, and there was some reason to suspect the prisoner. On the day before Good Friday prosecutrix locked her bed room door at nine in the morning, and went about her avocations. At five in the evening, on going to her room, she found it bad been entered and the valuablos above enumerated, with other property, stolen. The mode of access appeared to hive been by the window, which was easy of approach from theroof. 13 pane of glass had been-cut and the fastening of the window removed. In consequence of her sus picions the prosecutrix charged the prisoner on Easter Sunday with the felony, and deckled that unless he confessed and gave her an opportunity of recovering one ring, upon which she set much store, she would give him into custody on the following day. He, however, absconded, and was not seen un it Tuesday night, when he was given into cus tody, he having after the robbery described to an other person exactly what was stated, and having proposed to another man that they should steal a valuable tea-urn belonging to Mr. Wallace and di vide the proceeds, which the man honestly refused to do. The prisoner was remanded. A fashionably•dressed woman, about 25 years of nv, who gave the name of Graham, but refused her address, was charge i with committing robberies at the confirmation held at St. Paul's Church, Knights- Mrs. Mary Ann Turner, of 41, Adam-street West, Edgware-road, said that she accompanied her daughter, who is in the service of Lady Warring ton, 58, Eaton-place, to St. Paul's Church, whe.e she was going to be confirmed. Prosecutrix was standing with her daughter's bonnet in her band, and about to go int) the school-room, when she felt a tug at her pocket, and caught the prisoner's hand there: She immediately seized it, when her purse, which contained 4/. 10s. in gold and some silver, opened, and the money fell upon the ground. Pli soner at the inst int denied the robbery, and pro ducing a vary handsome ivory purse, exclaimed, " Here is my own purse in my baud." The accused was then given into custody. Mrs. Dudgeon, a lady who was standing in the porch of the church 'at the time of the above occur rence, said that the - ivory purse produced, which had been found in the prisoner's hand, did not be long to the accused, but had been adroitly extracted from her (witness's) pocket. It had been safe there only a minute or two previously, when, there being a cry that there were thieves about, witness was looking to her gold chain and real, z‘nd discover( d that the prisoner had got her purse. Her pocket must have been picked with great,dexterity, as she had a child walking on either side of her. Herpurse only contained a trifle in silver. Inspector Humphreys, of the B division, s aid that there was a very singular circumstance con nected with the case ; the lady who had first given evidence had, to her astonishment, since discovered another purse iu her pocket. Mr. Paynter inquired whether it had anything in it. The inspector replied that it was empty. The prisoner was remanded. WORSHIP-STREET. -William Burns, a young man dressed like a carter, wa s char g ed with assault and robbery. A young woman, named Elizabeth ,Topp, the bridge of whose nose waS covered with adhesive plaister, who also displayed other injuries about her face, and who seemed in pain and exhauated while giving her evidence, stated that while staying at a house in Henrietta-street, City-road, on the preceding day, she noticed the prisoner standing opposite the house, looking narrowly up at the win dows, as if iii search of somebody, and she therefore went down and opened the door to ascertain what he wanted. The instant sLe opened the door the prisoner came to it, and struck her so heavily be tween the eyes that the bridge of her nose was cut through by the blow, and on her screaming from pain and alarm he again struck her upon the mouth torefrom h her er shoulders, and was d st e s t e h cu e n re b d ec b a y m a large pin, tin senseless that she could rec o lle c t not e hmg more, bat on recove:ing consciousne ss she found that the prisoner had escaped, that her clothes were so sa turated with blood she felt confident the haemor rhage must have exceeded a quart, and even now sho T f , e v l is t t s , Oa giddyconstable and illo f she th e No ulddivsisctaerrcselsytastteadntdh. at while on day at the . end of the street he heard painful screams in a wom an ' s voice, and on hasten ing up found the prisoner hurrying away. He noticed that he had a bundle under his arm, and on stopping and asking him what the parcel con t tined he flung it to the ground and ran away as fact as he could. Witness pursued him through numerous turnings, but at last came up with him and secured him, but ' the prisoner resisted, had half a poker in one of his pockets, and on taliin him bac to where he had heard the screams from the prosecutrix, who was bleeding frightfully from the nose and mouth, she identified the parcel as, MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (Before Mr. Pashley, Q.C., Assistant-Judge.) Eduard Jessop, fruiterer and confectioner, of New-street, Covent-garden, surrendered to take his trial on an indictment charging him with having feloniously received a quantity of paper bags, the property of George Burrell, well knowing the same to have been stolen. Mr. Orridge prosecuted; Mr. Franc's appeared for the prisoner. At the last session at Westminster, three boys named Pearce, Mapleton, and Simon, were tried, found guilty, and sentenced each to a week's soli tary confinement for stealing some bags, the pro perty of Mr. Burrell, paper-bag maker, of Houghton-street, Clare-market, their master, and from circumstances which then transpired as to the manner in which the bags had b , !eri disposed of to the prisoner, now under charge, the presiding Judge, Mr. Creasy, directed that he should be prosecuted for receiving, and the learned counsel conducting the case on the present occasion was instructed by Mr. Allen, the county solicitor. The facts were these :—The boy Simon used to hide bags in a dust hole Mapleton and Pearce carried them away after the day's work was over and Mapleton sold them to the prisoner. When the police went to his place, and questioned him about purchasing the bags, he at once acknowledged that he had, and said he had four and. a-half gross on the previous evening for a shilling. He produced about 25 gross in all. It was urged for the prose cution that the prisoner bad bouht the bags at less than a -tenth of the trade price at night, and from a boy whom he did not know, and that he must have known that they had been dishonestly come by. Mr. Francis made an able address to the jury for the prisoner, and called witnesses, who gave him an excellent character for honesty, and deposed to his having purchased the bags from the boy under the most urgent representations by him that he had been sent by his father, who made them, and was in great distress, and also that the price given was not so much under the value as stated. After the summing up the jury retired, and after considering the case nearly tour hours and a half, found the prisoner guilty, with a recommendation to mercy. The Court sentenced him to 12 months' hard 111". lab 0 FOLIC& INTELLIGENCE.—u a y 5. MANSION -HOUSE.—Michael Quirk, an Irish tailor, charged with assaulting Bridget, his wife, and stabbing her in the head with a piece of glass. The complainant, one of whose eyes was fright fully bruised, and whose head e x hibit e d a blood s-ained plaster, said, that on Saturday night last the prisoner came home about 12 o'clo c k, an d gave her 10s. for the purpose of providing the house for the ensuing week, and when she told him he ought to give her more, as he had then four children support and 83. to pay for rent, he commenced to beat her, and finished by giving her a tremendous blow over her left eye. To escape further violence she was compelled to go to a neighbour's, where she stayed until Monday morning, when he imme diately began to abuse and threaten her, although ho was then quite sobsr. On Monday night he told her he would be hanged for her yet, and on Tues day night, just as she was going to lie down on the werkboird, with her head on a bundle (as she never got any rest after he came in), he rushed into the house, and seizing a flat-iron aimed a blow at her head, but she stepped aside and the iron fell on her foot. He then struck her on the head with a lump of coke, which slipped from his grasp and flew through the window, dashing the glass on to the roof outside ; whereupon he swore he would have the pane of glass out of her, and putting his arm through the window ho drew in a long piece of glass, which ho grasped as though it had been a dagger, and made a stab at her face, but her little girl stepped in between them and warded off the blow. He, however, repeated the attempt, and struck her on the head with the glass, inflicting a would which bled considerably. After that he ran off as fast as ho could, but when she went out to get her head dressed she saw him standing in the street, and gave him into custody. The prisoner made a rambling statement, with an endeavour to show that he was a pattern of a husband, but The Lord Mayor expressed his opinion that ho was an unmitigated brute, and had repaid with constant ill tre itmeut the kindnes and forbearance of an industrious and enduring . woman. His Lord ship sentenced him to four months' imprisonment, with hard labour, at the same time promising pro tection to the complainant if her husband should again ill-use or annoy her upon the expiration of the term of his imprisonment-. BOW-ST REEL —Two young men, who gave the names of Frederick Collins and Charles Morr s, and were dressed in the approved style of the Casino swell, were charged with creating, a disturbance in the pit of the Strand Theatre, to the annoyance of the public andthe interruption of the performauce 4 . Mr. Henry Swo.nhorough, the brother of the fair lessee, deposed that the defendants managed to get into the pit in a state of intoxication which was not observed by the checktaker in the crowd. During the performance they commenced shouting and tossing up hats, to the extreme annoy ance of the visitors to the-theatre. Tile officers in attendance quietly remonstrated with them, but ineffectually, and at length it was found necessary to give them in charge. He (Mr. Swanborough) had no wish to press the charge against these young men, He only wanted them to understand that they could not conduct themselves disorderly at his sister's theatre THE DERBY GOVERNMENT. - (Front the Morning Herald.) Eager aspirants for office, their advocates and satellites, indulge in a strange kind of warfare against Lord Derby's Government, and permit their fierce resentment to betray them into start- ling inconsistencies. The chief fault laid to the charge of the present Ministry is their undeviating success. Had they blundered on in the usual fashion no bitter invectives would have been hurled against them, and disappointed members of a weak Administration would not have taken up the pen. Jealous political crit cs have during the last few weeks run through a regular series of predictions, none of which have been realised, and accordingly they now fall back upon the dogmatic style. The British public are told that such and such things ' must be done, and that other contingencies are ab solutely impossible. In other words, the views of a small section of intriguing legislators are to be regarded as the will of the nation, and against their decision no appeal is to be allowed. The Whig clique that has so long mismanaged affairs are re presented as posse: sing a prescriptive right to office, and for the leader of a party more numerous than their own to dare to wield authority is " flat bur glary." In tones of solemn mockery the people were on Monday last informed by a confidential com munication published in the columns of a contem porary that Lord Derby has no right whatever to dissolve, and that if beaten by a factious combina tion his only resource would be instant resignation. In these shallow platitudes the writer discloses his own weak points. Nothing do the Whigs dread more than a dissolution of Parliament. They are fully aware that a general election would still lurthee re duce their rapidly-diminishing band ; hence their spasmodic attempts to make the public believe that such a constitutional appeal is impossible. The feel ing of constituencies has of la'e been hostile to what may be termed intermediate parties. By interme diate parties we mean those who filch a little from one opponent and a little from another, yet possess no very decided views of their own. The Peelites, who in some degree partake of this character, were at the last general election almost extinguished. Their chiefs—men of remarkable ability and experi ence—escaped the fury of the storm, but the rank and file perished almost to a man. Or all interme diate parties the Whiga are decidedly the most objectionable. Fighting • under . the Conservative banner one day and under Radical colours the next, they remain steadfast to nothing but their devotion to place. The conviction gains ground that the Whigs have had their day ; and at the next general election, come when it way, fearful will lie the havoc committed in their diminished band. The horror betrayed by politicians of this school whenever a dissolution of Parliament is mentioned, cannot, therefore, excite surprise. A hint at what they consider a terrible down threws them into convulsions. Em-Ministers rush wildly into print, and by every form of sophistry endeavour to show that a dissolution is impossible. An attentive observer of what is passing in the political woad cannot have failed to notice the systematic matter in which the conflict has been waged. The chief aim of Lord Derby's opponents has been to raise an issue by which he might be compelled to resign, without an appeal to the country. "Let us fight it out between ourselves, and not allow the people to interfere on either side," has been the burden of the song chanted by members of the late Cabinet and their organs. The budget was to be opposed, and so was the India Bill. L )rd Derby, however, stood firm, and his antagonists quailed. They per ceived that the noble earl w:ts in earnest, and did not intend to be frightened from the vantage ground. Rumours of a vote of confidence were also circulated, but they all gradually died away. Two ideas were brought home to the convicions of the captious and incapable Whigs. Tee first was that they could not by fair means obtain a vote hostile to Ministers, and the second was that the people were determined to rail' round them, and see that they had fair play. In spite of the furious denunciations of interested organs, in spite of the animosity by which they were everywhere pursued, and in spite of such dis graceful tactics as those adopted by Lord Palmer ston and his colleagues when Mr. Monselys motion and Mr. Lecke King's; 'County Franchise Bill were under consideration, Ministers are popu lsr, and their popularity increases daily—aye, even hourly. Old prejudices are rapidly disappearing. Go into what circle one will comparisons may be heard which would not sound pleasantly in the ears of Sic Charles Wood, Mr. Vernon Smith, Sir G. C. Lewis, and a host of legislators of this quality. The fact is that the people are heartily disgusted with the Whigs, and have at length obtained an insight into the deceptions by the aid of which they have for so long a time managed to wield the ascen dancy. As an illustration of this, we nt ed but refer to criticisms in independent j Jurnals, both metropolitan and provincial, and to the undis guised sentiments of the majority of reflecting men in all parts of the kingdom. No Minister has a rielr, to dissolve Parliament, except upon some great question. Such is the purport of the pitt ous lamentation of a disappointed follower of Lord Palmerston, published in the column; of a morning contemporary devoted exclu sively to the support of the ex-Minister. WhaP, we would humbly ask this grave anel sapient ant ho ray, was the great question on which, in the spring of !ast year, Lord Palmerston appea'eal to the con situencies of the United Kingdom ? S9lllO of the then Ministerial candidates supperted the member for Tiverton as the apostle of peace, and others as the vigorous prosecutor of the war. One Palmer stouian declared that China was to be crushed ; another, that the struggle was at an end. Au en thusiastic politician even went so far as to assert that England was not engaged in a conflict with the Chinese Government, but with counterpart of a certain English legislator—the restless and indo =table Yeti.

ACCIDENT TO CHARLOTTE CUSIIII iN.—EXTRAORDI NARY PRESENCE OF MIND.—The Nashville (Tennessee) Union says :—" A little incident occurred during the performance of " Macbeth," on Wednesday night, which, but for the wonderful presence of mind of Mies Cushman, would have seriously marred the interest of the occasion. In the sleeping scene in the fifth act, as Lady Macbeth approaches from her chamber, lamp in hand, the light lace veil with which Miss Cushman'e had and shoullers were covered, caught fire and blazed like tinder. Miss Cushman, without relaxing a muscle of her fixed features, or showing by any visible sign the least discomposure, caught the blazing robe in her grasp and immediately extinguished it, without turning her eyes either right or left, or betraying the least sign of emotion of any kind. So promptly and fearlessly was it done, and so much was it in keeping with the character she was playing, that notwithstanding the distinctly audible shrieks of some of the ladies, many present actu ally believed it to be a part of the performance. It cer tainly waii, if not in the bills, one of the greatest pieces of aeting we ever witnessed." [ADVERTISEMENT]. —Tho science of health and pathology has for cycles of centuries been involved in such obscurity and contradictions—so many unsuccessful efforts have been made in every ago to produce something which would eradicate existing disease, without creating still greater evils, that we are predisposed to take a desponding view of all endeavours to effect an improvement upon the old and imperfect systems of treatment. But when we find the spontaneous testimony of men of the most exalted rank and character adduced in proof of the remedial virtues of a given therapeutic agent-- when we see such men attesting their personal experience, and their gratitude for the relief they have received whenlabour ing under disease in its most harassing form—we have facts which it would be absurd to doubt or dispute. Incredulity it self must give way before such declarations as those of Lord Stuart de Decies, Archdeacon Stuart, Captain Bingham,R.N., &c., in grateful acknowledgment of the benefits they have derived from the use of Du Barry's Revalenta Arabica Food. And when, of the myriads who owe the blessings of recovered health to this preparation, no less than fifty thousand persons have performed the duty of describ ing its effects upon themselves, we feel that it is alto ge her removed from the ordinary category of what are called " patent mo ,icines," and that it is entitled to take rank amongst the most substantial blessings that have yet been conferred upon our species. Amongst those thus relieved are persons of all ages and professions, and the restored in valids include a large 'proportion of clergymen, and indivi duals of sedentary habits, as well as of the classes engaged in active occupations. In numerous instances, the disorderhad been of very long -deriding, ranging from three to upwards of sixty years; and amongst the more prominent of the mala dies successfully dealt with, have been dyspepsia (indiges tion), constipation, functional irregularity, obstructions, acidity, cramps, spasms, fits, heartburn, diarrhoea, nervous ness, bilimsness, affections of the liver andkidneys, flatulency, detention, palpitation of the heart, nervous headache, deafness, noises in the head and ears, giddiness, pains between the shoulders, au t in almost every part of the body, chronic in flammation and ulceration of the stomach, eruptions on the skin, scurvy, fever, scrofula, impurities, poverty of blood, eonsumptioa (if not beyond human aid), dropsy, rheumatism, gout, influenza, grippe, nausea and vomiting during preg nancy, after eating, or at sea, low spirits, spleen, general debility, pa, alysis, cough, asthma, tightness across the chest, phlegm, inquietude, sleeplessness, itvoluntary blushing, tremors, dislike to society, unfitness for study, delusions, loss of memory, vertigo, blood to the head, exhaustion, me lancholy, groundless fear, indecision, wretchedness, thoughts of self-destruction, &. When facts, such as we have referred to, are palpably and indisputably proved, we feel bound to admit that at length a real advance has been made towards the great object of effectually combating some of tee worst ills which flesh is proverbially heir to Supported by testimonials from the following celebrated Pro fessors of Chemistry: Dr. A. Ure; Dr. Shorland; Dr. Harvey; Dr. Campbell ; Dr. Gattiker ; Dr. Wurzer; Dr. Ingrain.; Lord Stuart de Decies; the Dowager Countess of Castlestuart; Major Gen. Thomas King, and many other respectable per sons, whose health has been restored by it, after all other means of cure had failed.
