Two hundred and twenty-two consistent Libe ral% including tellers and pairs, last night sup ported the principle of secret voting. Of these 199 were in the House, and the remaining 23, although absent, still contrived each to remove an opponent. It certainly was not quite as satisfactory as if they had attended personally, but the absence of gentlemen who adopted that precaution may be excused, and themselves re garded as steadfast supporters of the measure which can alone effectually check bribery and corruption," and. totally 0,13011511 every spuoltra of intimidation. A question, that numbers so large a proportion of the independent Liberal party among its supporters, should surely command the respectful attention of any person pretending to be a leader of that party. Nor could any Minister who was not prepared to accede to the wishes of so numerous and influential a body, reasonably anticipate that they would join in any party dispute, for the purpose either of retaining or reinstating him in office. True, however, to their aristocratic instincts, L?,rd PALMERSTON, Lord J. RUSSELL, and Sir G. C. LEWIS delivered speeches strongly opposing the mo tion. I t is thus manifest that, should they regain their places, there will not be the slightest prospect of " the Ballot" being included in any quasi Reform Bill which either of them may be compelled to bring forward ; and without the Ballo► - , all else will be of but little practical utility. They may give some carefully concocted scheme, calculated to promote Whig interest?, but nothing that will benefit the great body of the People—nothing that will ensure an independent Parliament, or the adoption of really good measures. Surely, then, no sound reformer can render party sup port to these men. From the present Govern ment much may be hoped. From their prede cessors, if restored to office, with an infusion of Russellism, nothing—literally nothing. Mr. HENRY BERKELEY, as usual, put the sub ject in a clear light. He cited, with his usual felicity, many instances proving its necessity ; nor were his arguments the less sound and forciblt. because, divesting himself of the solemn pom posity which some man seem to consider indis pensablA, he contrived to keep the House in good humour, and to amuse, while he irstructed, the Members on both sides. Surely, such a speech is far better than a dreary and prosaic oration, which clears the benches, and acts as a soporific on those who feel bound to remain within hear ing. Ho was ably sustained by Mr. MARTIN, Sir A. ELTON, General THOM - PS(3N, Mr. AYRTON, and Mr. BitionT. The latter gentleman made one o Ihis happiest efforts. Indeed, it must - have carried with it conviction to any unprejudiced and disinterested person. He was perfectly right in arguing the question on domestic grounds ; for in no part of the world—even in Australia or Americo, where it is in operation—do the condi tions of society so urgently require protection for the poor voter, not only from those who would seek to coerce him, but even from himself. The landlord and the priest were too frequently op. Posed, and in that case the unfortunate elector was placed in a truly uufultunate position. Ho had a soul to be saved, and a body to be starved. He trembled between the conflicting influences, c!rtain that in either case be must suffer severely. How bitterly must he deplore the possession of the franchise, that involves him in such a disagree able dilemma! The shopkeeper in a country town is scarcely better off. He may have customers blue and buff, all of whom he would desire to propitiate ; whatever course he adopts, some will he off -nded, and purchase their - goods from persons whose polW cal views aro more in accordance with their own. The wholesale trader, by whom he is supplied, may also interfere, and, if displeased, can find sundry means of putting on the screw. The clerk or artisan was in a similar position. His employer thought that for a scanty salary, he acquired not only a right to his labour and services, but also to control the conscience of the elector, who should vote as he thought proper, or resign a situation for which he was in every i way qualified, 'and by which he provided for his family. Surely, anything calculated to arrest or even mitigate such evils should be eagerly adopted, and if a suitable remedy were nct dis covered, one should be earnestly sought for. Lord PALMERSTON spoke in his usual contemp tuous manner of the supporters of the measure, as if they must, as Mr. BRIGHT said, "be dolts or idiots," for daring to diiifer from himself, and yet it is but a short time since he felt aggrieved because those 222 independent gentlemen would not join in a factious proceeding for the purpose of rendering him an irresponsible dictator. He endeavoured to throw ridi rule on the subject, but it recoiled against himself, and the result of his speech of last night will be, that he way exclaim "A ion farewell to all my greatness." It is absurd to say that there should be a cessation of political discussion, or of per sons proclaiming their principles. Men may speak and act precisely as they do at present. They are Lot punished for thinking or speaking, but for voting. That is the grievance in the eyes of the int imidator, wh atever may be the nature of the screw which he applies. A n y man that thinks proper to proclaim his opi n i ons may do so, provided only his vote be privately given. As to the notion that the franchise is a public trust, and must therefore be exercised publicly, it is too ridiculous to require serious argument. Under Lord DERBY'S Government the Church rate Abolition Bill has gone ?gip to the Lords. Dissenters—we should rather say, all hearty Liberals—will rejoice in this fact. It is true, the present Premier, with his predilections for old Church ways, may not be very favourable to entire and uncompensated abolition ; but neither was Lord PALMERSTON; and Liberals will remem ber, too, that if many of the present Ministry I.a.te one. lted and joked • voted agai ns t th e measure, so d i d many of the We have n o t, h owever , thi s ti me b een A we have not had amend-- LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 9, 1858. ments offered us by the Government, and on our declaring our readiness to accept them, still had a day refused us to go on with the bill. We have been dealt with straight• forwardly and fairly, and we have at least had the vote of a Member of the Cabinet, in some respects second to no one in it—the Premier's son. We can but feel that in the long-contested battle of Church-rates,we have thus far been bet ter dealt with by the present Government than by the late one—better, indeed, than by many pre ceding Governments. What the fate of the measure will be in the Upper House, it is not easy to predict. The Duke of SOMERSET has taken charge of it there ; and, when Lord SEYMOUR, he was a cordial supporter of it in the House of Com mons. Tho bill goes . to the Lords not only on the wings of large majorities, but, we have reason to know, attended by the good wishes of a very considerable number of the minority. By far the greater part of those who voted against the bill yesterday would be but too thankful never to see its face again. They want to get one of the annual motions off the order paper of the House, and one of the questions out of the way of the hustings, which they can sel dom answer exactly to the satisfaction of all parties. That the question must soon be settled no one now doubts. Why delay ? Lord DERBY himself has at least denounced Church-rates in their present form as an injustice of which Dis senters have reason to complain ; and he has but to stretch a point or two himself, and to use his almost unbounded influence with the Lords, and the 110110 Ur Of having removed a cause of from almost every parish in the kingdom, and settled a liberal question which all the professedly liberal governments for the last five-and-twenty years could not do. He abolished the Irish Church cess, because it had become a social nuisance ; we hope he will put his vigorous hand to this English cess, too. We think the country owes one duty to the Lords—that of petitioning universally. The Commons have done their part ; our representa tives have told the Lords that their constituents mean to have these rates abolished ; the country should back its representatives. It should be remembered that this is the first time that the Lords have heard about Church-rates in their legislative capacity ; and, little as they concern hemselves about parish matters, they have heard little about them, also, in their several- locali ties. The country should now enlighteu their Lordships. On the Jewish question there can be no doubt the country was apathetic ; and Lord DERBY pointed to the fact as one chief reason for his course. He knew it would have been impos sible to get up a public meeting, or a meeting at ill, for Jewish emancipation—hence the long resistance on that point. But from what Lord DERBY himself said, we are confident that he does not think it the duty of the Lords to resist when the country is decided and earnest, as well as per sistent. The Bill should go to the Lords heralded by a host of petitions. The large towns should peti tion, because they are the centres of intelligence, and, because, though they are strong enough to emancipate themselves, they should sym pathise with those who live under the , li.spotism of village squires and clergymen. The villages and small towns—those in hem, at least who dare do if, should petition, because the pretence is, that in the country places the peopl3 rejoice to pay the rate. Even a few in any village, who are aggrieved by being taxed for their neighbour's YI oradp, immediately tell the 14)rds so by a peti tion. Dissenters should, of course, petition. It is their cause, preeminently, Every one expects it of them ; they will be blamed by all parties if they do not do it. The sun never shone so brightly for them before, and they must "make hay while it shines." They have, for the first time, a❑ anti-Church-late Lilt in Houso of Lords, and they must not let the Lords think that they, of all prsons, are indifferent to its Success there. Ch urchmeu should petition, for they have the strongest interest in the abolition of an impost which enables the crotchetty or domineering members of their own community to disgrace the Church to which they are attached. We hold that Church-rates are one of the greatest injuries possible to the Church an it now stands. We say, therefore, to all classes—Petition, and—petition at once.

The Victor Emmanuel will embark 400 men at Purtniouth for Calcutta, and sail on the 26th inst. The following vessels will embark Queen's troops for Madras, on the 21th inst , viz.:—the Clarence, 1,101 tons, 220 men, at Gravesend ; the Mersey, 370 men at G ravesen d, calling at Cork ; and the Bucephalus 300 men at Gravesend, calling at Portsmouth. The following ships will convey troops to Bombay on the 29th inst. :—the Maldon,. 1 ,187 tons, 500 men, sailing from Gravesend ' • the Earl Balearres, 1,488 tons, a 430 men, sailing from Cork ; and the Clifton Belle, 400 men, sailing from Gravesend. The Pomona will embark 500 Queen's troops, the Confiance 350 troop , , at Gravesend, on the 3 0th inst. for Kutrachee. The greatest activity prevails at the East India depots at Chatham, Col chester, Canterbury, Maidstone, and the other districts, in order to have the reinforcements ready foremharcation by the dates ordered. Colonel H.W. commanding Parke, the Chat ham division of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, re ceived an order from the Admiralty yesterday to hold in readiness detachments of the Royal Marines to embark on board the Terrible, 21, the Hydra, 6, and the Argus, 6, attached to the steam reserve. On the paying off of her Majesty's ship Comus, 14, at Chatham, on Monday, the surveying officers reported that vessel to be the cleanest they had ever inspected. On the ship being surveyed it was discovered that a considerable number of her planks were in a very rotten state, in addition to which several other pal . ts of the vessel were found te iterril ou i Veig9rlrigl W l SPeAr t r i .ii s J i a c r s e ag be placed in commission. Re ar-Admiral of the White Charles Talbot visited Portsmouth on Monday, and went on board the 91. gun ships Algiers and Caesar in that harbour, both advanced for commission. he was accompa nied by Captain the Hon. G. F. Hastings, C.B , superintendent of the steam fleet in reserve, in which position both ships are. He made a most minute inspection of the Algiers, which he com manded during the late war with Russia, both in the Baltic and Black Sea, until the attainment of his flag. The object of this inspection we believe to be preliminary to his hoisting his flag on board of her to relieve Rear-Admiral of the Red Sir H. D. Chads, K.C.8. 4 in the command on the Irish station, on the promotion of the leter to the rank of Vice-Admiral, which may be daily expected. The Marines at present serving on board the depot ships of steam reserve are ordered to return to head-quarters, and their places to be supplied by seamen pensioners. The Marlborough, 131, Captain Lord F. Kerr, was officially inspected, and her crew mustered at Spithead yesterday by Rear-Admiral the Hon. George Grey, Superintendent cf Portsmouth Dock yard, for Admiral Sir George Seymour, the Com mander-in-Chief. The crew will be paid wages to morrow, after which the ship will not remain long at Spithead. Vice-Admiral Fanshawe is expected to hoist his flag to-morrow night, or Friday. Her Majesty's iron screw steam store-ship Himalaya, Commander Shute B. Piers, which ec tered Plymouth Sound yeste clay (Tuesday) morn iug, left Calcutta Feb. 12th, arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, April the Ist, and sailed again on the 18th ; tou c h e d at St. Helena on the 28th, and left on the 29th ; called at St. Vincent, Cape Verde, on the 18th of May, and sailed from that island on the 20th. She has thus been 93 days at sea since leaving India. The Himalaya brings passengers —Mrs. Polehampton, widow of the Rev. H. Polehampton, killed at Lucknow ; Mrs. Bartrum, widow of Dr. Bartrum, killed at Luckn.ow ; Major Ramsay, 75th Regiment, and Mrs. Ramsay ; Captain Sall, 37th, and Mrs. Sall ; Lieutenant Woods, 29th ; Mrs. Browne and five children, Mra. Harrington and two children, Mrs. Charles and four children, Mrs. Murray and one child, and 130 military invalids. From the Cape Mr. Holden and Son, Mr. Stilwell, and :he wives of 36 soldiers with 52 children. The spacious and well-ventilated main deck of the ship has been appropriated to the use of the sick, who were in medical charge of Dr. Bremner, R.N. Nine deaths occurred among the military invalids embarked at Calcutta—viz., seve from consumption, one dysentery, and one hepatic disease. 40 sick are confined to their cots, chiefly by amputations, the other cases being severe dysen tery and consumption. Three amputations, through shot wounds, have been performed on board; these eases are p:ogressing favourably. Two births have occurred since leaving the Cape. The Himalaya sailed from England on the 16th April, 1857, with the 90th Regiment for China ; but on arrival at Singapore was ordered to Calcutta. Since then she has been erop!oyed in conveying troops and horses from the Cape of Good Hope to India. The main shaft of her engine is bre,ken, and she is done up almost entirely. About seven knots only have been g)t out of her lately. Toe steamship South ampton was at the Cape Verde, en route fur Ma deira and London.

The Royal Speech, delivered yesterday at the opening of the Cortex, announced the betrothal of Ptinee George of Saxony' with the Infanta of Portugal. The Speech also referred to the formation of new railroads, and to intended measures relating to the finances and to navigation. The Paris correspondent of the Morning .Post (Second Edition) says— " It is not true, as stated by some journals, that the Governments of England and France are displeased with the proceedings of their Envoys in China. Nor is there any probability of the allies abandoning Canton. The diplomatic agents of the allies, as well as the naval and military com manders, have in concert agreed on fresh opera tionß, and as soon as the demanded reinforcements arrive, the public may rest assured that their united energy will be employed in operations which no doubt will result in permanent and im proved commercial intercourse with the Celestial Empire. As to the exact nature of the proposed operations of the allies in China, it is scarcely fair or prudent to interrogate her Majesty's Govern ment. The public will not be disappointed with the• policy pursued by England and France in China,-as there is every reason to believe future difficulties will be avoided. "I hear to-day from Naples that Mr. Lyons hopes to succeed in settling the difficulty with Naples amicably. I trust he may not be deceived. At, all events, her Majesty's Government could not be better represented. I believe the ultimatum of England has been presented to the Neapolitan Government." RUSSIA. - A despatch from St. Petersburg announces that a company has been formed in shares, with a capi tal of 2,000,000 of silver roubles, under the title cf " Transcaspian Company," to carry on commerce with Persia an I C3ntral Asia. M. Kokoreff is at the head of the' undertaking. " General Paniutiae," says a Warsaw letter in the Augsburg Gazette, " will occupy the place of the Governor, Prince Gortschakoff, during the leave of ab , ence of this latter. The manoeuvres of troops will not take place until September, after the Prince's return ; and at that period of the year it is not unlikely that the Emperor Alexander may pay us a visit. The news of his Majesty's intended journey to Arkangel does not appear to be confirmed." FRANCE. 1. PARIS, TUESDAY. The Lyons papers give an account of the cere mony of degrading Lieutenant de Mercy, who had been tried by court-martial, and found guilty of the murder of one of Li 4 officers, but whose sen tence has been commuted to transportation. The proceeding took place on the 6th inst. at Lyons. De Mercy was led from the military prison on the titla iu presence of the court-martial that had tried him, in order to hear read the letters of grace which saved him from the extreme penalty of death, but at the same time degraded him from his mlitary rank. The Imperial Commissioner ad dressed him i n th ese wor d s : "De Mercy,—Y ou owe y ou r Ife to the Empress, whose n o bl e h eart, goo d among all, feels fur all who suffer. Fr a y, and repeat, Yuur sword is to be imme diately brok en an d t h e f rag ments cast at your feet. Who knows b u t t h a t h erea f ter , when purified by a long and Pairfal expiation, you will not be able, acting on the instincts of your race, to grasp another sword, and employ it in honour in distant climes 7" De Mercy, it is said, wept on hearing their) words. Theceremony of degradation was then performed in tiro public square in presence of the troops of the garrison, and in front of his own regiment, the officer commanding saying— " Louis Cliar!es Elouard de Mercy, you are un worthy of serving in the French Army. In the name of the Euipkrer, I degrade you." The senior sergeant then proceeded to remove his military cap, the gold lace from his coat, hi s epaulettes, the buttonsifronelhis tunic, and, drawing h.s sword, broke it into pieces, and flung the frag ments on the ground. The troops then marched past the prisoner, who was afterwards conducted under a guard to the civil prison. • BormsE, June 8.- .There was a general.rally in GERMANY. A letter from Vienna, in the Universal German Gazette states that Archduke John, great uncle of the Emperor, who in 1848 was charged with thc' administration of the German empire, is about to start on a confident ial mission to Belgium, supposed to be connected with the Antwerp fortifications, on the subject of which the archduke could offer valuable advice, as he was for some time director general of the Austrian engineering department. MONTENEGRO. Prince Danile,_ letters sta' e has (riven orders that cuurcir b 1.1311 UV CI - CIAAJ, VA. ....V • • •".•••• •f Grabovo. He has also published a decree, directing prayers to be offered up during a space of forty days for the Montenegrins killed in that en gagement, and has forbidden any man to boast of having shown more bravery than the rest, all hav ing behaved with the greatest gallantry. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The programme of the season contained a pledge that Mdlle. Piccolomini should appear, at an early date, in the character of Luisa Miller, wherein she had achieved,_in Italy, triumphs equal to those which attended, and still attend, her performance in " La Traviata;" and last evening the opera was produced. Among Mr. Lumley's merits as a mana ger is conspicuous the tact with which he arranges and varies the attractions of his theatre. He has chosen for the production of this successful opera, by Verdi, exactly the time when such a novelty was eagerly desired, and was sure to be favourably greeted. He has his reward in one of the most com plete successes of his three most successful seasons. The story of " _Luisa Miller," as most of our readers are probably aware, is taken from Schiller's "Kraft. mid Liebe." It is simple, touching, tragic, and very dramatic. A slight sketch of it will facilitate a comprehension of the chief points of the performance. Luis t is the daughter of Miller, a vassal of Count Walter. She has been woced and her affections won by a young lover named Carlo, who is unknown to the neighbours, but for whom she has rejected a more ill-favoured suitor, Wurm. This Wurm is a retainer of Count Walter, and be t wean them there is some dark secret. Old Miller has his doubts as to the young lover, which are converted into certainty when Wurm coramuni cites to him the face that Carlo is no oiher than the young Count Rodolpho, son of Walter, in disguise. Rodolpho, on the ether hand, is beloved by the Duchess Frederica, a wealthy and beautiful young widow, and Walter is bent on their marriage. Rodolpho tells the duchess the truth, and of course only succeeds in rousing her to a frenzy of jealousy. Miller now tells his daughter the true position and character of her lover, but his denunciations are ar rested by the arrival of Rodolpho himself, who avows his love and swears fidelity. At this point Count Walter enters, upbraids his son, insults Luisa, and is at once braved by old Miller. For a vassal thus to beard his suzeran is punishable by death; and the old man is removed in chains. In re taliation, Rodolpho whispers to his father that he is acquainted with his secret, which is nothing less than that he has obtained his title and estates by murdering his elder brother. Th 6 second act developes the "Krafr," or in trigu©. A plot is contrived by Count Walter awl Wurm to sep•srate the lovers. The third act oin bocEes the tragic catastrophe. Luisa and her lover die by poison. The distribution of parts is as follows :--jmisa Miller, Mdlle. Piccolomini; the Duchess Frederica, Mme. Alboni ; Rodolpho, Signor Giuglini ; Count Walter, Signor Via'etti ; Miller, Signor Beneven lane ; and Wurni, Signor atstelli. Piccolom'ni, in the charACer of Luisl, has more than sus ained her high reputation as a tragic actress in parts depending for their interest on the development of toe natural emotions and syrnpa.- thies of the female heart. She was ably seconded throughout by Giuglini, who acted with even mole than his usual verve and spirit, and by Beueveti tano, who, if he continues these succcsees, will soon monopolise the "heavy feathers" "of the opera stage, thus attesting the versatility which, at the same time, makes him the best Don Giovanni we have. The scenery of the opera is admirable, and the dresses new and brilliant. Supported as it is by the superlative talent of Alboui, Piceolomini, and Giuglini, it will probably " ruu" till the close of the seaion. SIB HENRI HAVELOCK AND THE VICTORIA CROSS. Yesterday was published with the Parliamentary papers a return (moved for by General Buckley) of copies of the telegram from the late Sir H. Have lock in reference to tie conduct of Lieut. Hawlock in leading the 64th Regiment at CAwnpore, for which that officer subsequently received the Vic toria Cross. Also, of the correspond ence b etween Sir Colin Campbell •and the Adjutant-General on the subject. Sir Colin Campbell informs the General Com naaudina-in-Chiel that in consequence of this dee patch, a feeling of dissatisfaction, which has been testifi 'd in the most respectful manner, has arisen among the officers of the 64th Foot, who consider it contains a slur on the character of the late Lieut. - Colonel Stirling, then in command of the regiment, and on the regiment generally; and Sir Colin con fesses to having ."a strong feeling of sympathy with the officers of the 64th Regiment." " This instance," he proceeds to say, "is one of many in which, since the institution of the Victoria Cross, advantage has baen taken by young aides de-camp and other staff officers to place theinselv.s in prominent situations for the purpose of attract ing attention. To them life is of little value as com pared with the gain of public honour; but they do n o t reflect, and the genenls to whom they belong also do not reflect, on the cruel injustice thus done to gallant officers who, besides the excit-ment ot the moment of action, have all the responsibility attendant on th's situation. We know that the private soldier expects to be led by his regimental officers, whom he knows and recognises as the leaders to whom he is bound to look in the moments of the greatest trial and danger,: and that he is utterly regardless of the ac cidental presence of an aide-de-camp, or other staff officer, who is an absolute stranger to him. There is another point, also, having a greater importance. By such despatches as the one above alluded to, it is made to appear to the world that a regiment would have proved wanting in courage except for an acci dental circumstance. Such a reflection is most galling to a regiment of British soldiers, indeed almost intolerable, and the fict is remembered against it by all the other corps in her Majesty's service. Soldiers feel such things'most keenly. I would, therefore, again beg leave to dwell on the injustice sometimes done by general officers when they give a public preference to those attached to them, over old officers who are charged with the most difficult and responsible duty." To 'Sir Cilin's despatch the - .Adjutant-General replies, by direction of the Duke of Cambridge, saying —that "His Royal Highnessregretssincerely that any unfavourable imputation of the courage or conduct of the lieutenant -colonel should ever for a moment have been supposed to attach to the cha racter of that gallant and excellent eai‘.er. His Royal Highness enters fully into the feelings of Lieut.-Colonel Bingham, who has, in vindication of the c h aracter of his late commanding' officer, and of the 64th Regiment, so honourably appealed your sense of j us ti ce, an d h e has much gra tifi ca tion to in now re cor di ng hi s ent i re satisfact i on w ith the whole cond uc t of Li eutenant-Colone l S t i r li ng , and of the ex ce ll en t reg i ment wh i c h h e commanded with so muc h credit to himself and advantage to the service." AUSTRALIA.—The Black Ball clipper ship Saldanba will sail this week for Melbourne, having on board about 350 p assengers, including 25 recruits for the 4@th Regiment, in Melbourne, to ri-place others returning borne.

The commission of lunacy, ordered by the Lords Jus tices, to inquire into the state of mind of Sir H. Meux, the head of the large brewing firm, was resumed this morning, at the Thatched House Tavern, St. James's-street. Mr. Montagu Chambers, Q. 0., Mr. Bovill, Q.C., and Mr. Bodkin, appeared for the petitioners, Lerd and Lady Malden and Mrs. Arobin ; Mr. Montague Smijth, Q.C., and Mr. Quain for Sir William and Lady Bowyer Smijth in support of the petition ; and the Attorney-General, Mr. James Wilde, Q.C., Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Hawkins, for Lady Meux. From the account published in The Sum yesterday, it would seem that the main object of the commission was to ascertain whether, when Sir Henry Motu executed a certain deed, supposed to be in the July of last year, he was in a state of mind competent to the management of his own affairs. The deed in question is supposed to be in favour of his wife and infant son, and as sueh a pro ceeding is of the greatest importance to all parties con cerned, the present steps have been taken to fix the date of the commencement of the lunacy, and so determine the value of the document alluded to. A number of witnesses were examined, amongst whom was Dr. Connolly, who deposed that at the time he saw Sir H. Meux, in the early part of the year 1837, he con e sidered him to be in a state of mind capable of managing his own affairs. The case was proceeding when we went to press. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) JUDGMENT-ArPEAL-THE SOMERSET COAL CANAL COI( PANT V. HARCOURT. This me has been previously reported during the hearing. It will be recollected that the company filed their bill, chiming, under the act of Parliament a con v-yance to 6 acres, 2 roods, and 34 perches of land at Baigravey, belonging to Lord Ba'grave, for 2461., being at the rate of 30 years' purchase of the rent of the land. ....aigrave pleaded minority—objected to the sale, and alleged the company possessed the lands in question as tenants, for payment of rent only, and that he was entitled to erect a bridge over their railway or canal. The Lord Chancellor, after delivering a very long, learned, and elaborate judgment in this case this morning, came to the conclu sion that the company had not made out their claim to a conveyance of the land in question, and dismissed their bill with costs, but continued their possession of the said lands as tenants, declaring that the company were still intitled to apply to the commissioners of the county for an award of these lands in terms of their Act of Parliament. The company undertaking to apply to the commissioners within three months, continue the in junction against the use of the bridge to the injury of the canal or railway, with liberty to apply to his lord* ship or any other judge of the Chancery Courts. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Ma3ter of the Rolle, Sir John RomillY.) JUDGMENT-ADAMS Y. ADAMS. His Honour the Master of the Roll, in delivering judgment, said that the only point reserved for his con sideration in this case was whether, under the will Of the late Sir W. Adams, Mr. W. C. Adams, the second son of Sir W. Adams, took a vested interest in the 5 0111 of 6,0001. legacy left by the will. He considered that. the second son of the testator took a vested interest in the legacy at the time when he became of age, 21, and was entitled to claim it, and that he was not bound t o wait till a final distribution of the family's claims or legacies. His Honour decreed accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This MARLBOROUGH-STREET.
