Parturient Monte., Sto. A very ridiculous pro duction..... 4 palpable' abortion—has been the result of the Sabbath-day conspiracy—the Cambridge- House Plot I The concootors of the notable scheme are covered with eonfnaion at the " most lame and impotent conclusion" of their factious project. The " Engineer has indeed been hoist with his own petard." The " infernal machine" has re coiled on those by whom it was so recklessly re sorted to—and none but the projectors have received damage from its explosion. A few days since the Palmerstonians and their servile adherents of the fourth estate were perfectly cock-a-hoop. They fancied that they had but to stretch forth their hands, to .seize .the reins of power, which were apparently within their grasp. But the slips between the cup and lip are proverbial, and seldom has there been a stronger illustration of the truth of the time-honoured adage than on the pretent occasion. A week since one hundred and twenty majority was confidently anticipated— Lord PALMERSTON desired that it should be so decisive as to prevent the possibility of a di,s9lu tion—that appeal to the country, which was so dreaded by the Cambridge House Gang. A change, however, soon came o'er the spirit of their dream. The brilliant and effective oration of the Solicitor-Generai, one of the most lucid and argumentative that had electrified the Legisla ture for many years, occasioned deep dismay to the Opposition. Mr. RORRUCK, Mr. HARDY, Sir Row. per, and the Attorney - General for I re l an d followed with tremendous force, inflicting terrible damage on their opponents—met only by th e d rea ry prose of Sir C. w The anticipated majority°;D and Sir G. C. LRWIS. apidly fell from 120 to 80, then to 60, 40, and finally a score. Even that would have sufficed ; but, unfortunately, -'ARE __ SUN,_.. LONDON, SATURDAY many Hon. Gentlemen felt that they would have a heavy account to render to their constituentp, A dissolution was the inevitable res , ilt of a fac tious vote, and that carried with it consequences which they were not prepared to encounter. Like 808 ACRES, their courage rapidly ebbed forth. They could not screw it to the sticking place, could not make up their minds to march through Coventry with their self-elected leaders. The splendid ad dresses of Mr. BRIGHT and Sir JIVES GRAHAM gave the coup de grace to the matter, and it was known yesterday that Ministers would have had a fair working majority in the event of a division. But the decisive matter was the 'despatch of Sir JANIEs OUTRAM, earnestly and ener getically protesting against the spoliation system, inaugurated by the proclamation, and the answer of Lord CANNING controverting his enlightened views and well-considered opinionF. After that nothing could be done. The whip had been strenuously applied, but even those who had already promised could not in common decency vote. They were prepared to take up their hats and leave the House, and such a proceeding would have been far worse than any defeat. Under such circumstances it was that an almost universal demand was made for the withdrawal of the motion. Mr. CARDWELL at first rejected the proposition. The promised seat in the Cabinet was too strong a temptation, and Lord PALMER STON was equally anxious to regain the position from which he had slipped through his own truckling to despotism. The reports of the flagel lators—the certainty that he would be left in an ignominious minority, however, prevailed, and he ultimately blandly advised his Right Hon. friend to withdraw the motion, which was acceded to amidst the derisive cheers of the House. The course adopted by the Government was eminently judicious and highly dignified. The Chancellor of the Exchequer did not fear the re sult, but he was satisfied to permit the loophole through which his opponents might wriggle out of the scrape—to remain unsupported. A divisiou might have damaged the best interests both of Great Britain and of India, and he would nor, for any party purpose, force on such an encounter. It would have been well if the opposition hail exhibited similar patriotism. Unfortunately fur themselves they did not do so ; and they have consequently given additional stability to the Ministry, and rendered them firm in their seat, for a considerable period. We can scarcely suppose that another factions movement will bt• adventured on during the present Session. The lesson, although painful, has been salutary, anh the conspirators will perceive the imperative ne cessity of ascertaining their exact strength, and measuring the force which they can depend on before they again enter on a similar conflict. With these " private letters" of Mr. SMITH, the ex-President of the Board of Control, it is for all the world like the phantoms in the wizard glass in MACBETH— " Another and another yet succeeds !" For a long while there was only ONE—the One. Even after Mr. WHITESIDE' S facetious conjecture that—for all ministers know 'to the contrary—there might be a bagful!. Now it turns out after all that the suspicion absurdly entertained by some upon the matter was really not altogether unfounded. "We have all heard to-night," said the hon. member for Birmingham on Thursday evening, "of TWO letters havio2 been received by the right hon. gentleman ;" adding—" Before to-night there was no distinct statement of there being more than one :" and inquiring point blank whether or no these " two" constituted the whole Dumber actually received. This occurred, we repeat, on Thursday evening, after Lord PALMERSTON'S tardy otplanatiou. Thereupon taunted into the necessity of being yet more explicit, the noble lord the member for Tiverton astounded everybody by this remarkable acknowledgment—" The hon. gentleman was, perhaps, not in the house when I gave an answer to the question on a former evening ; but my answer was so far incorrect when I stated that my right hon. friend had received THREE letters, for in point of fact FOUR were received." No wonder this astonishing announcement was greeted with "ironical cheers" by the Ministerialists. It is an incident only comparable to that of FAL STAFF with the men-in-buckram, as we find it recorded in the 4th scene of the 2d act of the Ist part of HENRY IV. : "Fal.—l have pepper'd two of them : two, I am sure, I have pay'd, two rogues in buckram suits. I tell thee whet, Hal—if I tell thee a lie, spit iu my face, call me horse. Thou know'st my old ward ; hera I lay, and thus I b era my poin'. Four rogues in buckram let drive at me— . "P. Henry.—What, four ? thou saidst but two just now. " Fad.—Four, Hal : I told thee four. " Poins.—Aye, aye, he said four." A little while longer, doubtless, and the scene may be continued— " Fal.—These four came all afront, and mainly thrust at me. I made no more ado, but took all their seven points in my target, thus. " P. Henry— Seven ; why there ware but four even now. _ " Fal. —ln buckram. " Poins. —Ay, four, in buckram suits. " Fal.—Seven, by these hilt; or I am a villain else. "P. _Henry —PE,Y 9 THEE LET HIM ALONE ; WE SHALL HAVE MORE A NON. " So—with the " private letters" from Calcutta to the ex-President of the Board of Control. Coe-- Two—Three—Four—we shall have Mr. WHITE SIDE'S bagful at last before we have done with it. Until at length we are constrained to cry out with Prince Her..—" 0 monstrous l'' through sheer force of indignation. The turn that things have actually taken in the matter of Lord OANNING'S Proclamation, and Lord ELLENBOROUGH'S Despatch, and Mr. SMITH'S Private Letter, reminds one of the whimsical chain, of circumstantial evidence brought to bear upon a memorable pistol shot mentioned by Sir Banjamin Backbite, in SHERMAN'S comedy. The pistol-shot which, it will be remembered by all familiar with the Schee/ for Sca ndal—st ruck against the little bronze bust of SMAKSPERE over the fire place, grazed out of the window at a right angle, and wounded the postman who was coming t 3 the door with a double letter from Northamptonshire. The analogy is strict, if not actually literal. The thunderbolt hurled through his famous Despatch by Lord ELLENEOROUGH at the braz.m act of Cala fiscation resolved upon by the Governor-General, strikes the Proclamation aimed at rather ruinously, and suddenly glancing at a tangent out of the secresy by which it was first enveloped, wounds, it is to be feared dangerously if not mortally, the public reputation of the reci pient of a pri vate letter, a double letter, atreble , certain quadruple letter—the Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for Northampton. It may be what billiard players call a " fluke"—but it is a hit, nevertheless. And a hit, too, apparently—judging from tl.e quiet way in which it has been taken—that, how ever sharp, however much like an affront, appeals to have been quietly "pocketed." The way in which the whole affair has been brought to light, abruptly and quite unexpectedly, is literally as though a card-sharper, in arranging his hand, had maladroitly dropped a secreted ace or knave of trumps ont of his wristband. The table is there. upon immediately in an uproar. Even the most practised among the honest players are discom posed for the time being. There is a new deal— and the gentleman given to sharp practice has to be shown to the door ! At the next election down there, we shall have an opportunity of judging as to the nice sense of honour prevailing among the electors of Northampton. Seldom has greater excitement been occasioned in any case than that produced by the late duel in Paris, in which a highly esteemed journalist !las fallen a victim to the malevolent feelings excited amongst certain officers by his jocular, ►nd, we may add, innocent remarks. M. PEN; the editor of Figaro, the French Punch, had ridi culed some of the sons-officiers of the Grand Army. For this he was condemned to death, and a large body of persons joined in the conspiracy to murder. These gallant (!) individuals thought it unbecoming that forty cartels should be delivered on a single day to a single man, one who bad chivalrously avowed his name, and braved the consequences of his innocent jest. There was a total absence of that fair play so dear to English, and, we should hope, to French hearts. The unfortunate victim had offended the class, and his assassination was decided. One man might hare been taken as the representative of the party, and bad as it would have been, some excuse might have been made, but the cowardly ruffians brought forty into the field against one. He was to be insulted by assassin after assassin until, exhausted by fatigue, he would fall an easy victim. The first who came forward was foiled. M. PENE obtained the advantage, and there the matter ought to have terminated. But another rushed forward to fill the vacant place. M. ITIENNE, an appropriate . name, grossly and wantonly insulted the gentleman, fatigued and worn out by his first encounter. He had been the " maitre d'armes," or fencing-master of the regiment. A man thoroughly practised in the use of the deadly weapon, and prepared to turn his skill to the worst use. There was but little chance for the tired civilian. He might as well have been subjected to the stiletto of an Italian bravo. His chance would have been as good in one case as the other. There is to b 3 an inquiry into the circum stances. We trust that for the honour of the army it will be of a very stringent character. If justice be done M. Hienne and his forty coadju tors will be severely punished. The galleys—or a protracted imprisonment, would be the fitting re tribution for the atrocious act in which they have participated. GAME AND GAME. "DOUBLE OR QUITS." With their Cambridge Plot and their Oxford Motion— All their honours gone with their sense of shame — The Senior Ops. bad a mighty notion, By playing One CARD WELL, they'd win the game. But Sharpers though all of them, cunning and quick, Lo ! their stake is lost—by a single trick. VOCAL A SSOCI ATIO N.- Sr. JA3IES'S HALL. The fourth concert of this Association was given last evening with the eminent success which has invariably attended the series. The gifted violinist, Herr Joachim, played Sebastian Bach's celebratei "Chaconne" with the wonderful execution and delicacy of rendering which essentially distinguish this artiste. Perhaps the composition was rather too classical in character to be thoroughly appre ciated by a mixed audience ; but Herr Joachina's power of expression and inimitable finish cannot fail to elicit intense admiration, even from those whose ears may not have been trained in the school of the highest class music. M. Benedict gave Mendels sohn's accompaniment on the pianoforte, the whole being a most exquisite performance. Herr Pischek made his first appearance in London after an ab sence of two years, and sang as effectively as ever, giving the old favourite, "The Standard Bearer," an aria from .Mozart, and a German ballad from Spohr's " Faust." His reception was enthusiastic, and his voice in a state of unexceptionable excel lence. The part songs were sang by the Vocal Association and the Orpheus Glee Union, in a manner which places the singers in a position of unqualified eminence. Mendelssohn's serenade, " Slumber, dearest," was sweetly and evenly per firmed, as was also the glee, "Love and Wine," by the same composer. Madame Amadi sang several airs in pleasing style ; and a violoncello obligate, by M. Paque, accompanying a " Scena" by Madame Borchart, had but the single fault of being rather too long to constitute a feature in such a full pro gramme. M. Benedict played and conducted with his accustomed perfection ; and the concerts of the Vocal Association may be considered among the most attractive and sterling of the season. VTEST NEWS.

DISCONTINUANCE OF A RELIGIOUS NEWSPAPER.—The People, a London weekly newspaper, starred far the pur pose of promoting Christi in and Radical principles, and Li which many ttionsinds of pounds have been sunk in a few months, has ceased to exist. The editor thus ac count.; f,r its fall :—" The refusal to publish a Sunday edition operated against us to an extent which would almost of itself have been fatal. The religious world ehook their heads at a Radical journal appealing to them for support. Paragraphs which could not be excluded from any paper iprofassiug to give the news of the day, were carped at. While one party clamoured for infor mation to help them to make up their betting-book another turned aside at finding a notice of the theatre. Between them we have Mien." THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. The curtain has fallen on the last act of this drama, and the catastrope of the plot has bee n exactl y what we fore told, a total discomfiture of the cabal. It fell, as we once saw the canvas circle of some wander ing artists in horsemanship; the ropes were cut, and the whole party smothered and extinguished with direful con fusion The . House was crowded. " Stranglrs" who had been waiting from twelve o'clock for admission settled them selves into their seats with that appetite for fighting, such as men feel at a bull-fight, and report themselves to have felt at a battle. The ring was made ; the bottleholders were present ; the colours were fastened to the corners ; the sponge was thrown up ; the men stepped in; they shook hands and smiled at each other, and then—they did not "go to work." " Explanations," they say, always " make matters wore..." The truth of the old saw was exemplified by the " explanation" of Lord Canning. After Sir John Outram's exposé of his interpretation of the fatal proclamation, it was impossible for the Opposition to stand by the supposititious interpretation of Mr. Card well, and disdaining either of " the three courses" offered by Mr. Cardwell, they adopted a fourth which he had not suggested, that of repudiation and secession. " I shall put on my hat," said Mr. Thomas Du ncombe, and as he suited the action to the word, upwards of sixty AL P.'s evinced a similar inclination, at.the same time, far a pro menade. Such was the ridiculous finale of a week's debate 1 Sol vunter risu tabulce. The resolution which, on Thursday night, was to eject a Government, was on Friday after noon hustled off the table of the House of Commons by the band sworn to support it. The appearance of Lord Palmerston was unpleasantly ridiculous. A statesman so distinguished to be detected in what plain people call shuffling, and then to have to regret ! Lord John looked crest-fallen, though still self-sufficient. Sir R. Bothell sneaked about like a cock with his comb cut and the fea thers pulled out of his tail; while poor little Lord Gods rich, absolutely snuffed out by one sentence of Mr. Bright, looked like a crushed hat under the mighty hammer of our modern Thor, Mr. Nasmyth. The surprise of the baffled cabal was ludicrous. The few of them who know how to lead State papers properly were vainly endeavouring to explain to the rest the abet of " the explanation" published in the morning. The man ner in which Mr. Cardwell's obstinacy • was made to melt away was highly ridiculous. He fidgetted and fluttered from Lord John Russell to Lord Palmerston—sub sequently resumed his seat, keeping the house on the tiptoe of expectation. It did not seem very in telligible why Mr. Cardwell did not speak; but the riddle was solved let the appearance of Lord Pal merston (who had retired for a minute or two), and who walked up to the table in a hesitating manner, and with some appearance of confusion and unwillingness, offered such excuse as a man on the horns of a dilemma would be likely to find. The delight of the Ministerial benches was unequivocal, evidently compounded by their escape from a defeat and a long night's debate. Surely we live in degenerate days. The power of the house is evidently exhausted by three night's debate, spread over more than a week ! Mr. Disraeli, who was loudly cheered en rising, looked as modest and self-denying as a matronly widow with seven children at a second offer.

(Before the Master rf the Rolls, Sir John Romilly.) IN RE DEPOSIT, &c., ASSURANCE COMPANY—JUDGMENT. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judgment, said that the question here was whether Mr. flare should be placed on the list of contributors for the purpose of winding-up this company. He had executed the deed of settlement, and was prima facie a contri butor of .the company; but he alleges that he was induced to do so by misrepresentation, and therefore not liable. If the misrepresentation had been by a private individual member of the company, it would not avail him, as was found in the case of Bell, vol. 22 of Bevon ; but he alleges that the misrepresentation was made by the com pany themselves in their report of the state of the com pany's business. In their report of March 31, 1854, it is stated that there are about 7,8171. is. lid. more than the debts for the purpose of carrying on the company, whereas the company appeared to be in a state of insol vency. This report was calculated to mislead and in duce Mr. Hare to become a shareholder of the company, and therefore the official assLinee is not entitled to place him on the list of contributories as a shareholder of this company.

Yesterday a party of invalid troops, to the num ber of 52 non-commissioned officers and men of the Ist Royals, 14th, 21st Fusiliers, 28th, 316 t, and 57th Regiments, left St. Mary's Barracks, Chat ham, and proceeded to Fort Pitt Hospital, where they were medically inspected by Dr. J. R. Taylor, C. 8., and the medical staff at that establishment. At the conclusion of the inspection only a few men were declared unfit for military duty, and the re mainder will be sent to rejoin their respective depots. The 30th (Capt. W. H. Noble's) Company of Royal Engineers will shortly leave Chatham gar rison and proceed to Shorncliffe. It is probable the 22d Foot at present at Shef field, may return to Portsmouth to garrison that fortress. The notification which appeared in our military and naval column of Thursday last, on the subject of a letter addressed to us by a gunner of the Royal Artillery at Woolwich, in which complaint was made of the inconvenience suffered by himself and comrades in consequence of their being furnished with but one delivery of post letters per day, dsc., was immediately responded to by Gen. Williams. The garrison orders of that evening contained a clause enforcing rigorous attention on the part of quartermaster-sergeants, in order that four deli veries be henceforth strictly and punctually at tended to throughout the garrison. Her Majesty's steam troopships Vulcan and Ur gent, Commanders Seccombe and Macdonald, are under orders to embark troops again at Ports- mouth. They only arrived from - the Mediterranean last Saturday and Sunday, and are again ready for sea, the Urgent first. She will embark this day or Monday 11 officers, 344 men, one officer's wife and three _children, 17 soldiers' wives and nine chil dren, of the second battalion of the 7th Fusiliers ; also a company of Royal Artillery for Gibraltar. Lieutenants Harness, James, and Morland, of the 6th Foot, who were left behind when that regiment sailed in the City of Manchester, are ordered pas sage in the Urgent. The Vulcan will embark on Monday 21 officers, 523 men, one officer's wife, 38 soldieri-wives,. and 30 children of the second bat talion of the 7th, forming the right wing. The troops will arrive in garrison at Portsmouth from Aldershot this day. The following are the latest movements at Ports mouth :—The Duke of Wellington, 131, Captain Eyres, C. 8., is being painted. The Flying Fish, 6-gun screw despatch vessel,. was taken to Stokes bay yesterday to try her engines, &c., after an ex tensive docking. The Britannia, 120, sailing three decker, is ordered to be fitted out as a training ship for young officers who have passed the College exa mination, in lieu of the Illustrious, 72, Captain R. Harris. On Monday her Majesty's ships are or dered to " dress," and Royal salutes are to be fired in honour of her Majesty's birthday, and on Tues day the like ceremony is to be repeated in honour of the birthday of the Princess Helena, with the exception that the "dressing ships" will be partial. The Victory, 104, Capt. G. H.. Seymour, C. 8., flag of Admiral Sir G. F. Seymour, K.C.8., G. C. H., is now in a condition to receive visitors, after her lengthened and thorough refit. The paint is all dry, and the ship is in the very best possible condition, not only for the inspection of the stranger or excursionist who wants to see the Vic tory because Nelson fought and died aboard of her, but for the officer or man in the navy who can ap preciate what a ship ought to be that carries the national ensign. Her decks and everything else, from the kelson to the mastheads, are in admirable order. She not only presents the attractions of a show ship but the appearance of a man-of-war in good condition. A commission, appointed by the Admiralty, is ordered to commence sitting on Monday at the Royal Clarence-yard to consider the present dress of the seamen of the fleet, with the view to the adoption of a universal style and improved mate rial. This Clothing Commission will consist of Cap tain Dacres, C. 8., Superintendent of the Royal Naval Hospital at Hasler and Royal Clarence Vic tualling-yard ; Captain G. H. Seymour, C. 8., Aide-de-Camp to the Queen, of her Majesty's ship Victory ; Captain Li rd F. H. Kerr, of her Ma jesty's ship Marlborough, 131 ; and Capt. Robert Harris, of her Majesty's ship Illustrious. The Atlas, 91, one of the new line-of-battle screw steamers ordered to be built at Chatham dockyard, has been commenced on the slip from which the Renown, 91, screw steamer, was launched. yesterday preparations were commenced at No. I. slip in Chatham dockyard for laying down the new screw corvette Orpheus, 22, one of the addi tional war steamers ordered to be constructed at Chatham. The Charles yesterday commenced shipping war stores from Woolwich for Halifax, and the Early Morn for Port Natal. Captain John Sanderson, R.N., yesterday took up his commission and hoisted his pennant on bo ird her Majesty's screw steamship Archer, in dock at Woolwich preparing for the South African station. The freight ship Osbert, taken up for the con veyance of war stores for Barbadoes, is under or ders to sail to-day from Woolwich. The following appointments were made yester day at the Admiralty : William B. Fegen, surgeon, to the Archer ; S. M. Saxby, acting naval instructor, to the Cressy ; James B. Moorman, paymaster, to the Agamem non ; J. H. Shirreff, assistant-paymaster, to the Madagascar ; and Alfred G. Montagu, assistant, to the Archer. THE LATE GEN. HAVELOCK'S GRAVE. ( From the Edinburgh Witness. ) We have seen a letter written by a British officer, stationed at Alumbagh, which was recovered from the wreck of the Ave, and from which we aro al lowed to extract the following sentences, referring, among other things, to the grave of Sir Henry Havelock. It is the only reference which we re member to have seen to the hero's earthly resting place, and exhibits the enthusiastic regard felt to wards him by his officers. "I am now in Alumbagh (the officer says), and a most uncomfortable place it is, with about 200 round shot poured into it every day. We live in a large salcon,• which forms the upper storey of the palace. On each side of it is a large corridor or verandah, quite open on the outside and communicating by a series of open arches with the saloon. Through these arches the round shot sometimes sweep, for the enemy's batteries play on either flank of the palace, and the interval of wall between each arch is so unsubst intial as hardly to form any defence when struck by a shot. The saloon is ample and lofty, but full of piercing draughts, as you can easily fancy, and miserably cold, owing to its elevation, and that in spite of a roaring wood fire maintained in a fire-place at each end'of the hall s The ceiling is very lofty, and profusely decorated with graceful patches of Eastern landscape, painted in no contemptible style of art. Eacti arch is furnished, according to the original design, with glazed folding doors, but these have nearly all been smashed either accidentally or by round shot. 'The door opposite which lam sitting has its under part carried away by a shot. This happened on the day when our troops first entered the - place. A wearied soldier threw himself down to rest, with his head against the door. In an instant lie was asleep ; and lrtm that sleep he never awoke, for a round shot car ried off his head and shoulders. Every inch of the hall is at the mercy of the enemy's batteries. None of us dare venture for an instant into the com pound, so fast and furious do the shot fly about it. General Havelock's grave is in the compound—a narrow strip of ground, with a scathed and withered tree to mark the not. Truly, there is an end of all things. Little did we think that, during that victorious and monarch-like career of his from Allahabad to Lucknow, lie was marching only to lay his mortal frame in that narrow strip of ground. But it is not to form his final resting-place. At the expense of the officers whom he led so well, the honoured remains are at once to be sent home to England, there to mingle, I doubt not, with the dust of h gave av e e r mmoystsiigllnu;tturiroeusto thisa . st O e pn.ly Theysc perfectly u nan i mous, ter me d a s a u y r e I need not say, is and I regard it as a distiuguished privilege to con tribute to such an act.

Toe Earl of Shaftesbury has written a letter to the Times stating tbat he was not present at the Sunday meeting at Cambridge House. One and Twenty. By the author of " Wild flower," " The House of Elmore," .3/c. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This book cannot fail to furnish entertainment. It relates the fortunes of several young men who start in life about the same time, but who meet with very different fates on the chequered road. The hero, Philip Farley, is rather a- peculiar cha racter ; he is more collected and reserved than is usual at his age, but that is in a great measure to be attributed to his early initiation into the sad mysteries of existence. The scenes of want, and penury, in which his childhood passed were never effaced from the tablets of his mind ; the sight of, his pale father's haggard face, struggling to keep up appearances in his wretched shop, and decaying business, lingered in his memory, while time and toil worked wonders, and transformed the wander ing boy into a monied man. The most striking characters in the story are John Tregancy, and his sister Rhoda, who are very peculiar in disposition and violent in their tempers. Unfortunately f^,* his peace of mind Philip Farley married Rhoda. He saw her attachment to himself, and desired the advantages that would accrue to himself from the union. He intended to do his duty by his wife, but the events of his domestic life proved the fallacy of building its fabric on an unsound foundation. Rhoda was jealous by nature, and possessed of ungovernable passions ; she discovered that her husband had previously been attached to his cousin, Ellen Barchard, and not to herself. Her brother John was as violent, but more ungovernable than herself, and hating his brother in-law, he devised endless schemes, which bad for aim and object to subvert his plans and mar his happiness. He deceived his sister by false stories, , which she, misled by passion and blinded by preju dice, implicitly believed, and the result was painful in the extreme; Rhoda lost her reason and was re moved from her home; John, determined to satiate his- thirst for vengeance, continued to set fire to the mills of Philip Farley, and, thus destroyed by one minute's ungovernable fury and reckless rage the property whose profits promised competence for life. In the days of prosperity Philip appeared rather to disadvantage, the cares of his youth had brought the caution of middle life, to extinguish. • the freshness of the dawn of existence, and substi tute for its generous impulses, the cold calculation of a bard and censorious world. In the days of ad versity it was otherwise ; he then rose to meet, the emergency with the spirit of a man of courage and constancy. The first act of his new course was to take what he called revee,ge on his enemy. This was of the class of injuries which consists in heap- , ing coals of fire on the head of the offender. He tracked his enemy to his hiding-place, and then, when 1 regancy exclaimed, "Bring on your men to seize me," Philip replied that his ven.. geance was to let him escape, even the stern man was moved by this conduct, and the two men, so singularly situated, parted never again to meet in this world ; but they parted in something of the, spirit which alone can enable enemies on earth to meet hereafter, where contentions are over, and the language of strife shall be heard no more.' With all his mistakes, there is much to admire in Philip Farley, and therefore it is satisfactory to find' at last that he is more fortunate. The passages, which refer to the brothers Esden are amusing, and; are narrated in an easy, natural manner. The love affair between Frank Esden and Annie Tackeridge: is certainly unfortunate enough to satisfy the most. romantic sentimentalist ; yet the conduct of Mrs. Tackeridge makes everything in which she is con cerned appear ludicrous and strange. William . Barchard, Philip's uncle, is a strong character, and , he is well delineated. The struggle for good or, evil, which disturbed his mind during the last mo mentous crisis of his life, is very powerfully ae scribed, and his sudden death, which occurred so shortly afterwards, is divested of its horrors by the rifle ;lion that he died at his post like a brave man,, icontending for the right. Altogether, this work equals, if it does not in some parts excel, its preded cessors. Poets and Poetry of Germany. By Madame Da:, vesies de Paules, translator of "Egmont." ,yols. Chapman and Hall. The subject of those volumes is rather an ambi tious one, and would seem, at first sight, to deraanu; an author of unusual abilities, as w e ll a s one thoroughly acquainted with the extensive literature of Germany, and distinguished for clearness # 01 : judgment and critical per c epti on . It i s no t a ligh t task to follow the rise and advancement of a nationo literature, to examine how it has been affected bi the leading passions of the age, and animated b its pervading spirit—whether chivalry, philoscipbYt controversy, or intellectual development--to trace how it has, in its turn, reacted upon the mind Oe each generation—how the national idiesyncra o has stamped itself upon its verse, and how th e language has refused to adapt itself to peculiar forms of rhythm—the prevailing weakness or vine ° that have been its drawbacks, and the special vi" rues that have embalmed it. All thi s ana lysed , its fullest degree would demand the powers of the philosopher, the enthusiast, the critie, and the his: torian. Taking the other branch of the subject' l it is scarcely less alarming. Bi ograp h y is 14.: all times confessedly a diffi cu l t t as k , and , memoir of a poet is perhaps the most ant cult of all. It is n o t easy t o separate th e author from his work, to make full allowanl for the impassioned and sensitive nature—witha l too readily pardoning the faults and vices too oft° present with it.

It is curious that in these early German l ad .!, and legends the real and practical were quite as Pr i o minent as the ideal and mystical are in their la th productions. One of the most remarkable figu r bo in these early ages is the nun Hroswith, 'W. OO wrote several dramatic pieces for the representaq of the sisters of the convent. Among the crow o f names filling these earlier times, we meet ferf , 0 any extended reputation till we come Ulrich von Hutten, the poet of the Refortt' tion, whose romantic story and singu m. vicissitudes are familiar to many. Hans Ssn "the cobbler bard" of Nuremberg, and the Ba nd of Master Singers, so characteristic of the n ation; fill up the dreary space when the poetic' -a". 0 seemed dormant in the fatherland. The desolatio of the Thirty Years' War did not spare the fields_ of imagination any more than the pleasant meadnewo. Of Germany.

(Sittings at Nisi Prins, before Lord Campbell, Mr. Justine Coleridge, Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Justice Crompton.) Trinity term commenced this morning, at 10 o'clock. On the opening of this term the Lord Chancellor's breakfast and reception are dispensed with, and their lordships commencd the business in the usual manner on ordinary term days, During this term the charge ot libels on the Emperor of the French will be heard, and it is rumoured there will be a case of breach of promise tried in the sittings after term, in which the damages are laid at 10,000/. PENROSE V. MARTIN-LIMITED LIABILITY. Mr. M. Smith, Q C., said this was a case raising an important question relative to the Limited Liabilite Act. The plaint ff, Mrs. Penrose, had supplied coals to the Saltash Waterrnan'e Steam Packet Company (limited), of which the defendant was the secretary, and she drew a bill of exchange for the amount on the com pany, without stating "limited," which the defendant accepted as the secarity of the company without re quiring its insertion. An action was brought for the recovery of the amount, and heard before Lord Camp bell at Guildhall. Ths question that arose upon the trial was the defendant's personal liability, under the 19th and 201 Vic., cap. 47, clause 31, which requires the registration of a limited liability company as such, and renders the secretary of such company liable to a penalty of 501., and renders him personally liable for the amount of such bill+, if not paid by the company, when he omits to affix, or cause to be affixed, to any docu ment the word "limited." Lord Campbell said there was a replication on the trial that the plaintiff did not know the company was a limited company when she drew the bills, and the jury found in her favour. Mr. M. Smith said the defendant contended that the signing required by the Act of Parliament did not apply in this case. Rule nisi granted. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.

EMBZZLEMENT BY A WoßKMtN.— Thomson Hoad, a decent looking working man, was charged before Mr. Bingham with embezzlement and obtaining money by false pretences. Mrs. Mary Cross, wife George Cross, plumber and glazier, of Great Portland-street, said the prisoner had been in her husband's service, but absconded on the sth inst. It was his duty to receive money, and to account to her for it. He had received various sums of money and had not accounted for them, and on the 6th inst., the day after he absconded, he ob tained a sum of Si. 53., representing that he had been sent for it. Mr.. Charles Godfrey Hall, bootmaker, 89, Regent street,' said the prisoner called on him, and knowing him to be in prosecutor's service, he paid him the num of Si. 51., which he said he bad called for. Joseph Med wn, license victualler, the Hibernian Stores, Old Compton-street, said, on Feb. 6, 1858, he paid the prisoner the sum of if. 10a., for which he gave him a receipt. Nervine Bryden proved paying the prisoner the sum of 1/. 4s. ld. on April 10, for which he gave her a receipt. George Cross, the prosecutor, said the prisoner had never accounted in any way for the turns mentioned by the witnesses. In answer to Mr. Bingham, the prisoner said he had nothing to say. He was then committed for trial. THAMES. A MOST ACCOMPLISHED BRUTE—AGGRAVATED As- SAULT UPON A WIPE.—John Clutterbuck, upwards of 50 years of age, a painter and blind maker, dwelling in Limehouse, who is too well known in this court, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with violently as saulting his wife, Betsy, who appeared before the magis trate, as she had more than once done before, with her face swollen and discoloured from the brutal tree went she had received from her savage husband. The prisoner is a regular domestic tyrant, and belongs to a very bad family; one of his brothers has been transported for a felony, and another is in prison for a savage assault. The prisoner is a dissipated, lazy fellow:* prefer ring to live on the earnings of his wife and family to working at his business. He has been frequently in custody for assaulting his wife, and she has more than once refrained from appearing against him. At last his violence extended so far, and she was so dreadfully beaten that Mr. Selfe compelled her to appear, and sentenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour, and to keep the peace towards her for six months' longer ; when his term of imprisonment expired, she ma''e an applcatinn to the magistrate to release him without bail which was ac ceded to. He soon afterwards recommenced his career of brutality and drunkenness, and made his family very uncomfortable. He came home a few days since and demanded some food, although he had contributed no thing towards housekeeping for several weeks. His wife went to the cupboard to obtain some potatoes and meat for him, and it was discovered that a cat had devoured what was intended for him ; on this be became very angry indeed, said it was hard that when he came home b—y hungry he should be starved, threw a dish at his wife and struck her on the shoulder with it, inflicting a severe bruise, and then commenced beating her with his fists. He also took up a poker, and with horrible threats and imprecations, said be would knock out his wife's b —y brains. His son and niece took the poker from him and he left the house. A warrant was subsequently obtained on which he was arrested. The prisoner, in defence, said his wife was a drunkard, which she refuted by good evidence. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner waq a most accom plished brute, and sentenced him to four months' im• prisonment and hard labour. DEFEAT OF FACTION AND TRIUMPH OF JUSTICE. The triumph of the Government, announced last night amidst cheers and acclamations from both aides, that one of the most complgte and unmistakeable that the House of Commons has perfiaps ever witnessed, and, in proportion as the Victory was great, the defeat of the Cambridge House Conspirators was signal and undisguised. With the affectation of a prude, Mr. Cardwell at first declined to withdraw his Jesuitic Resolution. But when he found that men of his own party—recipients of the " beautifully en graved tickets," and ardent expectants of office under the cominc , Palmerston Oligarchy —were even compelled, by a sense of rude justice, to announce their opposition to the Re solution—when, too, the great demigod, Palmerston him self, saw a mo , e by which he could avoid completely and for ever damning the last rag of character for Statesman ship which belonged to him, and suggested that his pro tege, Cardwell, " might" do so ; tben the renegade Peelite consented, with as bad grace as possible, to place himself in the hands of th e C ommons ! Miserable finale this of all the " special services" at Cambridge House ! The history of this extraordinary Plot will not be without its value to the future Government of the Empire. Some useful lessons may be deduced from the unprincipled and selfish struggle for regaining the emoluments of office, which w e trust will not be lost to the country. All honour to those really Independent Members of the Liberal party, who could not be seduced from the clear path of duty by the blandishments of Hayterism. May this honourable part of their conduct be duly remembered, when next they shall be brought face to face with their constituents ! Morning Chronicle.
