The India Bill is at last progressing. • Three divisions were taken last night, in each of which the Government had . good working majorities. The first point at issue, which referred to the authority of the new Secretary of State, was car ried by 221. to 77, or nearly 3to 1. The insertion of the words " in Council " was proposed, which would restrict his powers and completely destroy the great object of the bill, viz., the creation of a responsible minister with ample power?. Tho Muse,. however, unhesitatingly rejected the pro position, and sanctioned the clause brought for ward by the Cabinet. The next division was respectin g the number of the Council. The veteran Viscount, whose friends pretended that he was at the head of a decided majority, attempted to restrict the num ber of:tAhe Council to 12. On a division, b ow _ ever; he was left in a minority of 62 --th e Rouse refusing to stultify itself by annulling the resolution it had previously carried in committee. lie was still more unfortunate in his opposition to the elective principle, being left in a minority TIII3 STN, LONDON, SATURDAY E V ENING, of p 3—the Gc7e.i.; - a_rit plan was approvei by the great, majority of the independent Liberals. The Chairman then reported progress ; the next question at issue is whether the first members of the Council shall be nominated in the bill, a course to which the Chancellor of the Exchequer saw some objections, which he proposed to state when the bill was next before the House. This will probably be on Thursday nex', and it is anti cipated that it will have gone through committee on Friday, and may be brought before the Lords early in the ensuing week. This will allow ample time for consideration before the conclusion of the session, and afford no excuse for rejecting the necessary legislation in any fit of petulance, ex cited by a supposed want of consideration for their dignity. The advantages resulting from the proceeding by resolutions, on which the bill was framed, is now clearly perceptible. Had the rival schemes of Lords PALMERSTON and DERBY proceeded pari passu, it is more than probable that neither would have been carried during the present session, and that the existence of the all but universally con demned double Government would have been protracted for another year, and that after it had been branded by the clearly expressed opinion of the House!of Commons, respecting its inefficiency. Nothing more injurious, both to Eng land and to India, or more calculated to prolong the existing disturbances, could possibly occur, and yet it is still hinted at by some of the Palmerstonian journals, who speak of the " im possibility" of its receiving the legislative sanction during the present session, and try to excite the ire of the Peers at the alledged slight, so as to in duce them to disregard their duties in a fit of pique. It is, however, " the wish that is father to the thought." Thero will, as we have already stated, be ample time for calm and deliberate considera tion. The hereditary legislators are not ignorant of what has taken place "elsewhere." The debates have been duly " wafted on the wings of the Press throughout the length and breadth of the land ;" and it would indeed be a gross disrespect to their Lordships to suppose that they wore igno rant of what was known to every person of ordi nary intelligence and information in every locality and district. There is a " legal fiction" that neither House can take cognisance of auy matter until it has been properly introduced to its notice by some of its members. But that " fiction" will be practically disregarded, for their Lordships have already been enabled to make up their minds on the salient points, and it is but justice to say that they come to their conclusions morn promptly than the co-ordinate branch of the Legislature, and are not so likely to be influenced by factious motives. We do not say that party feelings do not exercise some influence, but they will not expose themselves—under any circumstances—to the censure to which some of the chosen representa ti►es of the people have recently rendered them- Jelves liable. The true Liberals have acted wisely and judici ously. Those *ho had no personal objects to achieve, who were not " waiters on PROVI DENCE," seeking either for themselves or friends thc crumbs of patronage that may fall from the Ministerial table, could not be in duced to joift in the factious movements that took place. The Hon. Member for Dungarvan, who has givenlo many proofs of thorough inde pendence, who so recently refused to accept a position for which he was thoroughly qualified, lest by any possibility his disinterested views might be m i see n,o.rricatl, ail +l,a +rl a anti rz o ox the party of- - which he is a leading mem ber. "As a fair, impartial, and upright poli tician," he has determined to give the Go vernment fair play, that they might have time to develop their policy. Ho saw that " they had done great things for the cause of progress, things that no other Government ever attempted to do, more than any of their Whig predecessors, who had been in office for the last ten years." He was, therefore, anxious to give fair play to the Government, and to avoid all those miser alio squabbles and factious proceedings which brought disgrace upon those who joined in them, even on the name of the proudest statesman in the land. These sentiments reflect the highest honour on Mr. MaountE. What he has done as a popular representative we have , :/ z , 2 7,+ e aeferl nn as an independent journal of advanced opinions. It is ab.3u:,/, then, f>r the Times, or its servile flock of imitators, to speak of Lord PALMERSTON or Lord JOHN RUSSELL as the head of the Liberal party, or to hint at the prudence of a " weak Government." Lord DERBY has now the support of those who will maintain him in power so long as his conduct merits their approbation, and is in accordance with that which he has exhibited, since, happily for the nation, he assumed the position formerly held by Lord PALMERSTON— gave to Lord MALHESECRY the portfolio of Lord CLARENDON, and enabled Mr. DISRAELI to place the finances of the country in a satisfactory position. Ali honour be to him, then, say w e cordially The extension of the system of Competitive Examination has been productive, incidentally, of a good result, in every way as gratifying as it was unexpected. It has demonstrated, in a re markable and conclusive manner, the fact that Mechanics' Institutions are NOT, .as many have .erroneously imagined, failures. It has_shown, as was formally stated on Thursday evening, upon .the annual conference, held at the Society of Arts, in the Adelphi, that these establislaments—Ms - Institutions—" are gradually, slowly it may be, bur surely, taking a prominent position in the country," and further, that the position already acquired by them is, even now, at once reputable and satisfactory. How it is that these welcome truths have been attained, it is certainly interesting to note ; and a very few wards will readily enough afford those who may be yet un informed upon the subject, the requisite explana tion. According to the ulterior decision arrived at by the Council, entrusted with the responsibility of conducting the organisation and development of the newly established system of Competitive Ex amination, it was resolved to adopt tho scheme of diffusion as originally propounded. It was de termined, in other words, by this deliberative and authoritative council to hold an examinationswbere ever au institution, or a group of institutions, would enter into satisfactory arrangements for the accurate and faithful walking of the examina tion papers submitted to the volunteer candidates. Local Boards, as a natural, or rather inevitable con sequence, were called into existence. The Council, indeed, explicitly suggested this formation. That judicious suggestion, moreover, has been already so promptly and energetically responded to, that notwithstanding a very unfortunate but wholly unavoidable (May in issuing the prospectus or programme of the introductory examinations upon the new system—as many as fifty-eight Local Boards have announced themselves as duly organised -- nay, have incontrovertibly proved themselves to have beers duly organised. Evidence of this beyond all dispute has been furnished in abundauce. The testimony referred to being visible in the rammed papers duly authorised, by the signatures of the required members of the Beard of each particular locality. The document in each instance constitutes proof positive that the papers enclosed with it were formally worked in the presence of a certain specified number of the Board—that they were so worked by the candi dates, whose numbers they bore respectively that in each individual instance they were worked without any extraneous assistance whatever, whe ther derived from each other, from any other person present, from books, from notes, or from memo randa—that three hours constituted tne maxi mum of the time occupied in the working of these papers from first to last—that no individual was permitted to resume or complete his paper after having quitted the examination-room during the lapse of the period allotted fur the filling up of that paper—finally, that the paper of questions given to each candidate was in each instance taken from the closed envelope in which it bad been forwarded from the Society of Arts to the Local Board, the seal being broken in the presence of that Local Board, and in that of the assembled candidates. Here, assuredly, were sufficient secu rities for the due and honest working of the sys tem of Competitive Examination. And in every instance, saving in one solitary exception, the Local Boards, we are now informed, have through out scrupulously attended to the whole of these rigid, but imperatively requisite,. regulations. Consequently—abstracting that one exception— before 57 Local Boards the result may, through the subjoined Statistics, be recognised as having been sufficiently satisfactory. Although, be it observed, 1,107 candidates attended the pre liminary examination. Nearly half of this number, namely 501, were pronounced by the local Boards as eligible for the final examination. Of these 501 candidates, 288 were afterwards examined in Whitsun week—when 360 certificates wore awarded to 199-89 only proving unsuccessful. Beyond all which it is further stated upon autho rity that the condition of the Institutes is at the present moment far bettor than at the period when the Union was first established, and more classes have sprung into existence—there is a more re gular attendance upon those classes—and a more marked attention is everywhere paid to the solid branches of useful knowledge. It must surely be recognised, therefore, after what has been stated, that, beyond the good accruing to the individual candidates, there are the no less obvious advan tages secured to Mechanics',lnstitutions genera)ly throughout the country—all resulting from the wiser organisation and the wider extension of these beneficent Competitive Examinations. EAST NORFOLK ELECTION. The nomination took place to-day, and the show of hands was de2lared in favour of Sir Henry Stracey. A poll was demanded on the part of the Hon. W. Coke. LA.TEST. N E WS. NAPLES, JUNE 22. It is stated here that Sardinia intends to poisist in making•a demand for the payment of an indem nity, by the Neapolitan Government, to the suf ferers by the capture and detention of the Cagliari. The Piccolo Corriere cr Italia of Turin states that the Austrians are preparing to fortify Placentia, to which tea detached forts are to be added. Letters have been received from Constantinople to the 19th. There appears to Le no doubt of Vely Pacha's dismissal from his post of Governor of Omaha. Four other battalions have been sent to the Herzegowina. Accounts from Belgrade mention as positive the condemnation to death of the Turkish soldier who assaulted Mr. Fonblanque, the English Consul. CONSECRATION OP ST. MARTS NEW CHUI:CIT, STOKE D.-ETV/NO.7W; Yesterday -was consecrated the above church, which is one of the largest which has ►been created in the diocese of London during the last halt century, and has been erected by voluntary contributions. The extreme dimensions are— length, upwards of 190 feet ; and width, 80 feet ; and the whole has been most solid y built by Messrs. Myers and Sons from the design of Mr. G.• G. Scott, the architect. The material chiefly used in the body of tte sacred struc ture is Kentish rag-stone, relieved with Bath steno coigns and dressings. In the tower and foundation is Aberdeen granite, of which a subplinth runs round the entir, base of the building. There is no clerestory to the nave, but the aisles are unusually lofty, The chancel is 53 feet deep, and terminates with as apse of much grace and beauty. The soffets of the chancel arches aro filled with elaborate sculpture and rest upon double columns of Aubigny stone. The sculpturing throughout the edifice is rich, and consists of the foliage of many varieties of English plants. The tower, when complete, will be 230 feet high. The font is a rich and graceful work, having a basin of Caeu stone, supported by four an B els in white marble, resting on a dwarf column of pink marble,.the whole elegantly sculptured by Mr. R. West macott; jun. ; its cost has been 450 guineas, and was pre sented by Mr. A. Burnand. There are et present several windows filled with stained glass, by Messrs. Clayton and Bell, presented by the. Rev. T. Jackson, the rector, and several of the parishioners, and an other will shortly .be in position, and is to be a memorial to the late Mr. E. Clifford, a liberal contributor to the building fund. The noble organ, built by Gray and Davison, and which was partially brought into use yesterday, will, when complete, cost 1,200/. The style of architecture is the pure pointed Gothic of the 13th century, and three years has been occupied in its erection, and the entire cost, when the whole design has been fully carried out, will exceed 15,000/. About 2,0001. is required to complete the present arramgemeats. The roof is of open timber, and the siWngs are open benches, . - Yiv:ng accommodation for upwards o f 1,000 a d u lt s and 200 children; one-third are free seats. - The Right Rev, the Lord Bishop of London officiated at the cereinony, and arrived at the church shortly before eleven At a quarLcr past eleven the procession to the new church formed in the Old Church Yard, and proceeded, accompanied by the clergy'in their robes (two aad two), to the western entrance of the church, where the procession paused for the Lord Bishop of the Diocese, and the clergy who were to tali° part iu the service. - During the playing of an anthe n on the magnificent organ the Lord Bishop was conducted to the Communion Tabl the Rector of the parish presented the petition for Consecration to the Bishop, which was read aloud by the Registrar, after which the procession moved down the nava in the same order as before, followed by the clergy, two and two, Tho Bishop repeated the prescribed Psalm, and the clergy and congrega tiOn repeated the responses with a loud voice. On their arrivalatthe end of the• nave, the procession turned under the tower arch, and returned in the same order as before, and divided right and left, leaving an avenue for the Bishops, Archdeacon-, Chaplains, &e , to pass through to the space within the communion rai:s, The rector of the parish then presented the deed to the Bishop, and the chancellor read the sentence, which was signed by the Bishop, and divine service was then performed. The prayers were read as far as the Apostles' Creed by the Rector, and from the Apostles' Creed to the end of the third collect by the Rev. William Bullock, 8.A., curate of the parish. The Psalms were read by ;he R3v. G Hills, B.D , Vicar of Great Yarmouth. The First Lesson was read by the Rev. John Sandys, M.A., Incumbent of St. Paul's, Ball's Pond ; the Second Lesson by the Rev. W. J. Hall, M.A., vicar of Tottenham, and priest iu ordinary to her Majesty ; au anthem was sung after the Third Collect • and then fol lowed the Litany, said by the Rev. Harry Dupuis, vicar of Richmond—the right rev, bishop officiating at the communion table. Mr. G. W. Martin presided at the organ. His Lordship preached an eloquent sermon from Daniel, c. 10, v. 12. After the sermon the offertory sentences were read by the Rev. A. B. Hutchinson, 8.D., of Keyham, Davonport, during which a collection was made, realising 4501. The prayer for the Church militant has read by the Rev. T. P. Wright, M.A., of St. Philip's, Dalston, and his lordship having prmounced the benediction, dismissing the general congregation, the doors were closed, and the communion ser vice proceeded. Subsequently a large number of the congregation, about 400 ladies and gentlemen, p rocee d e d t o th e res deuce of Richard Moreland, Esq., and partook of a clejeuner within a magnificent and commodious pavilion erected by B. Edging ton, of London-bridge,..in a large meadow in the rear of the residence. Tire Right Rev. Bishop presided, and was supported by his lady, Mrs. Tait, the rev, rector and Mrs. Jackson, the Bishop of Pennsylvania, &c. Among those present wore most of the clergy who ha:l taken part in the ceremony, as als ) the Revs. Derwent Coleridge, Ernest Hawkins, A. Brown, T. Hellruore, G. Lock Wood, and J. N. Bennie, Mr. W. Cotton, and ladies, as also Lady Mary Hoare and Misses Hoare (two), Mr. T. Jones, undersheriff elect, &e. The Rev. T. JACKSON (recta), in proposing the health of theßight Rev. Prelate and Mrs. Tait, expressed the gratifica tion which this, the first visit of his lordship to the parish, had given, which visit he trusted wou'd not be the last, by many. In coming that day his lordship was, as it wore, crowning the work beglu by his learned' predecessor, who laid the first stone of the church, His LORDSHIP, in returning thanks, said it was a great plea sure to himself and Mrs. Tait, to be so heartily welcomed on this their first visit to the large and rapidly-increasing parish of Stoke Newington. Such gatherings as the present w:.re very refreshing, and he was eelighted. to see se hearty a spirit Tallying round the Church of which they were members. Their wish, no doubt, was not only to sea that Church .beautified, but to see its influence everywhere extended. Some might say they were raising churcht s before they were required; to this he would say that some years ago Islington was a place where they made hay an I grew beautiful flowers- 7 a pleasant villa; , with few inhabi tants ; it was now swallowed up in the vast metropolis. It was therafore,-wise for them to be building up and preparing for a parish which might ere long become as Islington. He felt it was right for Mr. Jackson to carry their thought back to the memory of the late bishop, who laid the foundation stone. Hs was much grit fled at the respec . ful reception he had met with at this his first visit to Stoke New ngton, but that was not on account of any merit of his own as much it was due to the exertion and labours of the clergy of the parish, for where a bishop were so warmly welcomed as be had been that day, it was a convincing proof that the clergy wre:energetically,- zealously, and usefully furthering the great work of their Divine Master, Ile, therefore, consid e r e d that his thanks were due to the rev, rector of the parish for this cordial welcome. He thanked the large number of the clergy for their attendance, and was exceedingly glad that the zeal of the congregation had been so arousal as to contribute so much as 4501: Enthusiastic cheers marked the conclusi n of his lordship's address. Th 3 RECTOR. then, in an eloquent speech, proposed "The health of the Bishop of Pennsylvania." The Bishop of PENNSYLVANIA acknowledged the compliment paid to him, and expressed au opinion, shared, as he said, by the great mass of his fellow -countrymen, that America was anxiously looking towards England as the great regenerator of the social condition of the world. It might be that, now and then, there was some little irritation on the part of the American people, in consequence of the course of events in 1 . • n of 11-pir.:rN wore thrown out, but in speaking uf that, it must be recollected that America was still but young (hear, hear) —and on the minds of the young those apparent slights made a de per impression tha n on th ose o f maturer year , . The old country co: d afford to be magnanimous, but he fervently prayed the youn . 3 would never prove ungrateful. (Hear, hear.) That the greatest love was felt for this country amongst the great bulk of the community w..s proved by one simple fact. Where, when time and opportunity presented themselves, did the Americans invari ably go to ? Why, to the old country. (Cheers.) Their first thought was to visit Old England, to visit old scenes and eld recollections, treasured up in their "sunny memories (cheers) ;—and he fervently prayel that the bond of union, strong as it was, might increase in strength until the end of time. (Loud cheers.) The Bishop of LONDON proposed "The health of the Rector and Mrs. Jackson," in a very eloquent spec h, dwelling strongly on the great exertions that Mr. Jackson had made, both as an educationist and clergyman, to benefit mankind. The Rscroa returned thanks for himself and Mrs. Jackson in a happy and appropriate manner. He. said allusion had j been made to his exertions, and a wonder expressed hew he preserved his health and strength to go on with his great work. The remark made by the great Dani , lo'Connell under similar circumstances applied to him. .That great man said he w.‘s enabled to undergo great exertions because "be had 'a warm nest at home," and such a blessing, by God's provi.. dense he (Mr. Jackson) possessed. (Laughter and cheers.) could not resume his, seat without publicly tendering his thanks to all those who had been mainly instrumental, by their contributions, in raising the splendil structure ~they had that day consecrated. Many. Inid been munificent donors , to the building fund, but to Mr. Patrick Johnson his especial Ahanks were due, for he bad singly given his bond as a security for the payment of the building of the tower of the church, "(e4cers.) • . Mr. Jonssor returned thanks for the gratifying manlier in which his health had been proposed and responded to, and pointed to the clean, neatly•attired children of the schools, who were then in the grounds, and hoped for increased funds for their support. The chi:dreu, as above, were regaled, meat and bread was distributed to the poor in the neighbourhoo 1, and the work men of the church were furnished with refreshments in the evening, after attending at church, where a sermon to work ing men (invited to come in their working clothes) had been preached by the Lord Bishop of Bat and Wells. lIIONDIAOTRES! MEETING.-At the usual preliminary quarterly meeting of the iron trade of South Stafford shire and East Worcestershire, held at Stewponey, near Stourbridge, on Thursday last, Mr. Pullin Williams in the chair, is war resolved to abide during the next quarter by the prices fixed at the meeting held in De cember !mt. Staffordshire bare, therefore, stand as they have done during the present year, at 81. per ton, and all other descriptions after the same proportionate rate.

The Queen inaugurated this day the canal bring ing the waters of Loz )1a to the Spanish capital. Yesterday a fire destroyed a, small bridge on the Alicant Railway, about four miles from Madrid. The circulation, momentarily interrupted, .Was re established this afternoon. The journals of the 21st state that rumours of a nainsterial crisis were again current, but that it was believed in well informed quarters that no change will take place until the autumn. The elec tions for the provincial deputations. were taking . place, and though they are not of a political charac ter, almost everywhere the candidates favourable to the Government' were returned. The 'Govern ment was about to undertake extensive works for the improvement of the port of Alicant, which, from the opening of the railway, will become of greater c:Junnerchl importance than ever. The harvest had commenced in several provinces, and was very tine ; from the ecru-city of labour, land owners had to pay very high wages.

PUTRID IiER3IENTATION OF THE THAMES.. - The following letters have been addressed to the Editor of the Times : Sir,--- The time has arrived when it is absolutely neces sary to call public attention in the most emphatic manner to the groat duciger which hangs over the inhabitants of this metropolis from the state of the river Thames, the more ePpecially as there has been a tendency in some of the most able writers of the day to, underrate the frightful con , equences which may ensue from its present pestilential condition. The great fact has been overlooked by those who have earnestly called attention to the subject, that the river Thames at the present moment is in a state of general putrid fermentation-- a state which I zan positively assert is a new state, and one which from observation over 30 years it has neveeexhibited before. While I write the whole river is nearly as opaque and black as ink, and is much more offensive than the majority of the sewers which enter into it, the animal matter of not vr , t, imlar7on. the putrid fermentation. Those who have le veu su i.,,.eeeeal ar ' Or year a general deterioration of the water—a gradual dimi nution of the higher forms of animal life from a larger portion of the sewage being aided to it. Year by year an additional unpleasant odour has been superadded to the usual odour of nearly all rivers in agitation ; but for the whole of the river to enter into the putrid fermentation is a new fact, the oonsequence of which we have no experi ence in Loudon, nor probably in any other country. It must now be regarded as unsafe for man, woman, cr child to venture upon our river, for no medical man can predict who may be affected, and we cau only say that the putrid fermentation is liable iu the highest degree to com municate its death-producing influence. Cholera is now absent. Were it epidemic probably hundreds of thousands would fa`l victims, as the whole river is essentially worse than those sewers along which the population was decimated. This, however, is the most favourable time of the year for London—a powerful current of air sweeps up the valley of the Thames, and renders Lon , ton one of the healthiest of towns. In August, however, and in the first week in September the air is stagnant, and no such breeze refreshes the inhabi tants. In all ages epidemics have then had their sway, and should this state continue who will dare predict the consequences which may ensue ? The petresceace may endanger diseases of a contagious 'type, such as fever or plague, and how great would be the panic if a few leading men in succession were to fall a pray ! And wo must not shut our eyos.to the fact that causes now exist worse than ut the time of the Plague; and therefore a destruction of life and an injury to trade may arise which will make Londoners bitterly repine their ' neglect of tlio;warnin,gs of -medical men in not diverting the Sewage - froinAho great highway, of the world. The case is row serious ant urgent, aad the treatment presents the highest difficulties. No time can be spared for twaddling debates of representative. councils. Some one man should be endowed wish the powers of a general to gob any assistance or ads/jai ho may require, and carry out such plans yip:Q . oply as the nature of the case may require. I remain, sir, your obedient servant, 7, Fin , bary-circug, June 23. ALFRED SMEE. Sir,--Without vindicating the character of the Thames t the present time, yet, with reference to the letter of " T. G." in the Times of this morning, it may be interest ing to know that the fish in that river have always suf fered from any unusual heat in the weather. In the Gentleman's Magazine for 1750 it is stated :—" Friday, July 13.—The excessive heat of this and some preceding days so affected the fish in the Thames that they gathered in shoals to the Bankeide, and buried themselves in the ooze and mud, and were easily taken in large quantities." Yours obediently, Hampstead, June 25. • JAMES DAVIS. STATE or THE TILIMES.—The following letter from the Conservators of the Thames to the Metropolitan Board of Wi rks was read at the meeting of the latter at the Guildhall yesterday :—"Thames Conservancy, June 2 2.--Sir,-13aviog laid your letter of the 12th inst. before the Conservators of the River Thames, in which you inform thein of the intention of the Metropo litan Board of Works to construct works for extending the outlets cf certain main sewers under their jurisdic tion, through covered channels, from high to low water rutirk, and the C,nservators having inspected the plan submitted by Mr. Ilizslgette, I am directed to inform you that the Conservators see no otj-ction to the works as proposed. With referepee to the impediments to the inshore r avigation wilMi will be caused by the tempor ary works requisite, it will be necessary that, as the traffic of the river should not be interrupted more than May be absolutely necessary, the prominent p tints of such works than be proptly indicated by day and night; and the Conservators have to r. quest that plans of coffer dams and piles :say bo substituted' to them for tl.eir approval before the same shall be carried into executLn. I am further directed to take this opportunity of stating tln.t it is the convicticn of the Conservators that it is impossible for them to preserve the water of the Thames in anything like a pure and wholesome state so long as tho contents of the sewers of the metropolis are die charged iut.t it. —E.

LUSH REPRESENTATIVE PEERAGE.—We understand that the Earl of Bandon will succeed to the vacancy in the Irish representative peerage oczcsioned by the la mented death of the Earl of Glenga!l. t E THE MEUX CASE. - The medico-legal pointy raised iti r the.case of Sir Meux require some remarks. The question for the jury was the sta'e of Sir Henry's mind on the 3d of July, 1857, when he wrote instructions for a codicil to a will made nearly a *year before. Be tween the making of the will and the codicil, Sir Henry had a severe fit—in Dec., 1856—when Drs. Watson, Fergusin, Williams, and Sir B. Brodie were consulted. They then pronounced !hit there was softening of the brain. The speech and gait, and mind wtra already affected. All through 1857 (to Sept.) we have conflicting evidence-1. Of in capacity throughout the canvassing for Hertford shire, and of utter inability to command his troop of yeomanry at a review. 2. Of capacity to transact all kinds of bus;nees. In September, 1857, there was another fit, and then all allow ho became insane. Nevertheless, there were busine , th transactions afterward. Dr. Com)lly's evidence anti opinion were, that he first saw Sir Henry on January 22, 1858. He was in a most advanced stage of " gene ral paralysi4," so advanced a stage that the doctor thought the malady must have commenced a year and a half or two years before. He never saw a recent case so far advanced. He never knew the peculiar speech and gait seen and described without the insanity ; never knew them precede the mental disorder, although they supervened often in mania of long standing ; in other cases, the speech, gait, and mind, are simultaneously affected. He believed the malady, "general paralysis," began in December, 1856. Its peculiar character is SO little known, except to ayslum doe ors, that it is assumed to be common paralysis, which is not neces• associa!ed with mental .disorder. But the question which puzzled the jury was this : Was Sir Henry's mind so far affected in July, 1857, as to render him incapable of judging soundly as to a codicil ? In other words, was he of "disposing mind ?" This nobody can . tell, except those who may not wish to tell the truth. The opinion that his judgment was then seriously impaired. rests on experience of the distinct and peculiarmalady with which beyond doubt he was,aleeady affected,. in an advanCed stlgo . of which Dr. Conolly found him in January, 1858, and in the last stage of which he is at present. But this opinion can be no guide to the jury. The case may even have been excep tional. But that the "general paralysis" began in 1856, and has gone on steadily ever since, is, so far as we can learn from the evidence, the real fact.—Medical Times. FALLEN! FALLEN ! ! FALLEN !! ! Two defeats, following one another in the course of a single ha'f hour last Light, effectually proved the utter weakness and isolation of the ex-Premier. In a house elected, some fourteen months since, especially for the propagation of Pal merstouianism, Lord Palmerston twice over sought for sup porters to adopt his principle for organising the Indian Coun cil in preference to that proposed by the present Government, and twice sustained a mortifying repulse. He could barely obtain a hearing for his speeches on either occasion, and on both was left with a miserable minority in the lobby. Discom fitures thus reiterated sufficiently indicate the conclusion to which the house has arrived. Having lost his grasp of power in esse, the noble member for Tiverton is now forced to re sign even that claim to power in posse which by recognised right belongs to the leader of Opposition. The questions whereon these divisons were challenged, comprised the distinctive features between the Indic Bill of the late administration -Bill No. I—and the measure now actually before the house. Lard Palmerston had proposed to establish a Council of eight members; Lord Stanley aug mented the number to fifteen. Lord Palmerston intended his Council to be altogether nominative ; Lord Stanley has provided a process of election by which seven of the fifteen members are to be chosen at first and recruited afterwards as vacancies occur. On both these points the house was last night required to de ide. The author of Bill No. 1 practically asked the Legislature what they thought of his scheme, and then subjected the representatives present to the ordeal of two divisions, with the view of p!acing on record their de cision, first ou the point whether the Council should consist of twelve or fifteen, and secondly, whether any of its members should be selected by any other process than Crown no ❑ination. Large majorities, as we haven'rea-ly mentioned, accepted the bill of her Majesty's present Ministers, and rejected the proposition of the ex-Premier. The quo ,tion has been asked whether, if Lord Palmerston had remained in power, the suggestions he has now so vainly offered for the constitution of the •council would not have been snore cordially received, or, even finally adopted by the house I This is, perhaps, possible. The in fluence of a reigning minister is no doubt enormous. Sur rounded with all the prestige of high office, having extensive patronage at disposal, and a clever whipper-in to secure ob sequious majorities, the power wielded some four months since was almost dictatorial. But the crisis through which the nob'e lord has since passed is of the character which, as Milton said, " tries the souls of men." Lord Palmerston will not stand the trial. aprived of his factitious importance, the late Prime Minister has subsided into a very insignificant member for Tiverton. His old flatterers and flunkeys have fallen away. The Thanes fly from him. No ono remains faithful to the fortunes of the fallen chief, except, perhaps, Mr. Chichester Fortescuo. From this Abdiel Lord Palmer ston. may still have complimentary phrases, extolling his bill for the construction of a new system of Indian government above all its rivals and successors. With this indiVidual eulogy, the quondam Premier must be content. On principle the House of Commons have repudiated his Indian G.,veru ment Bill, and in practice have now ignored his title to as- SUMO even the seem:dory rank of Leader of the Opposition.— Chronicle.

Lord Justice Knight Bruce, in delivering judgment, said that the contention in this case was, whether a sum of 10,000/ , previ,led by the testator to his daughter, Catherine Helen Tucker, %as on her death realty or per• sonalty ; and whether the heir-at•law or the widow of the testator, William Tucker, was entitled to take it as realty or personalty. His lordship said that he must look to the relative position of the parties at the time of the death of the testator. His lordship con sidered that the testator, by his will, had converted his realty iat personalty, and that the heir-at-law had not made out a Fnfilcient title to the fund in question. It was a bard case. Lord Justice Turner said the question wag, whether the ruin Cf 10,0001., or any part of that sum, belonged to the real estate of the late William Tucker, and so lA longei to the heir-At-law, or to the personal estate, and bdlnged to the widow. Vice-Chancellor Sir Jobs' Stuart decided that the whole sum in question be- longed to the widow, and the present appeal is from that decision. His lordship concurred in opinion with Lord Justice Knight Bruce, and their lordships dismissed the appeal with costs. The counsel for the respondent consented not to ask costs on condition that the me, would rest here, and not he appealed to the Hotse of Lord?, which the contr. eel for the appellant agreed to. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL TREATMENT OF A HORSE —SINGULAR CAM Thomas Langdon, the licensed proprietor and driver of cab 1,817, was charged before Mr. Beadon, by Mr. William Love, chief constable of tha Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, with cruelly beating a horse. The defendant said he would plead guilty. f Mr. Beadon, however , said be would hear the ease. _ _ _ Mr. Love said the circumstances of the case were veil' aggravated, owing to the defendant, instead of having used a whip, made use of a peculiar weapon, which be (Hr. Love) was sorry to say was much in use among cabmen, and which was calculated, besides doing serious misch.ef to the horse, to cruelly torture it. From the evidence of Rutherford, one of the society's officers, it appeared that early on the 9th of June, be, saw the defen fent in Regent -str ee t d r i v i ng a h orse an d cab, the defendant dealing the horse several severs blows right and left on its sides, and keeping up sa incessant beating. He went after defendant, and, on overtaking him, took the weapon from him. (The weapon was here produced, and strongly resembled a piece of twisted cowhide, about a yard long, and from thefact of its being twisted calculated to inflict kevere torture.) The horse, which was a very good one, was panting, and bore the appearance of having been much ill-used. The defendant said the horse was a confirmed slug ; be could not get it along wi h the aid of the whip, eo be borrowed the weapon to try the effect of it. Mr. Bea ion indignantly denounced the defendant's conduct as being most cruel and monstrous, and said it was a wonder the horse's ribs were not broken ; aud tbs best punishment for such a man would be to serve hid' in the same way as he had served the horse. He would mark his sense of the defendant's conduct by fining bin' 40s. and costs, or 14 days' hard labour. The defendant was locked up in default, It appears that a great many cabmen carry a weapoo, of the kind with them, and use it when unperceived 01 a night. THAMES. GANGS Of SWINDLERS.—CAUTION TO TRADESMEN."' A gentleman, who is the owner of houses in Globe Fields, Mile Ead, Old Town; applied to Mr. Selfe for his advice under the folio% ing 'circumstances :--He stated that one of his new houses in the above locality had been hired of him by a man apparently respectable, who gave reference to another housekeeper in Stepney, who We him a high character. The man to whom he had let the house had since underlet it to other parties at sa increased rent, and they turnel out to be • gang of swindlers, who had given extensive brdere to tradesmen for goods of every description with a promise of immediate payment. The tradesmen soon found out to their oast that they could nut obtaia either money or good., and it was proven-that artiolei supplied to the gang had been directly afttraards sold for half the invoice price. Mr. Selfe advised the applicant to consult his solicitor as to the best means of getting rid of his objectionable, tenants, and to give inforMation to the inspector et police, at the adjoining station, of the doiimgs of the swindlers,. and theme wad n 1 doubt a goad account O f the gang would be soon laid before the public.
