The Government of India Bill has passed the representative branch of the Legislature. Not withstanding the energetic opposition offered by Lord PALMERSTON to several of its provisions he gave it at the last moment " not a grudging but a cordial and hearty assent!" Lord JOHN RUSSELL, too, saw "many redeeming features in the bill which met his cordial approbation" and dismissed it, with benedictions, tothe Upper House. The men who , were prepared to curse remained to bless ; and we can scarcely conceive that any formidable obstruc tions will impede its progress through the Upper House. Lord STANLEY has more than justified - the hopes that were entertained on his behalf. He has passed through the serious ordeal to which he was subjected with the utmost e'lcat. It was an unmitigated triumph. As the Times declares —and the community at large endorses the vex diet—he " deserves no little credit for his exer tions, and the success which has attended them. Be fought the bill with skill and firmness through committee," adding, amid the complaints of a dearth of geniuß, "it is gratifying to find a man, little over thirty years of age, who has shown himself fitted for the highest posts in a Paha . mentary Government." This eulogium has been fully merited. That which threatened to be a rock ahead has added to the strength and stability of the Government. Nor is it in one department only that praise has been merited. Lord MALMESEURY has achieved verdant laurels at the Foreign-office. Mr. DISRAELI mirnbile dicta, succeeded in framing a budget that received the unanimous applause of the commu- The Home-office has been judiciously managed, and the Secretary for the Colonies has given earnest of the stuff that is in him, by his admirable billreapccting New Caledonia. How dif ferent would it have been had Lord PALMERSTON a nd the gang of mediocrities with whom he was associated remained in office! We shall shortly have a cessation of party conflicts. Parliament will be.prorogued, but Ministers will not be idle, for they do not claim to hold power by right divine. They do not seek to exercise despotic sway over independent Members, and they will use the vacation to some purpose in preparing judicious measures, which will retain for them the con fidence and respect they have so honourably earned. nity. Gold has been discovered in large quantities in a portion of the Hudson's Bay Company' s tern tories, and the necessity of a strong and well organised Government has become palpable. Sir E. B. LYTTON has lost no time in bringing in a judioious measure on the subject, which last nigbt received its second reading. The charter of the Company will shortly ex pire, and there is not the slightest possible chance of its renewal. The extensive and valuable domains that have been made the haunts of wild beasts, and from which mankind have been care fully excluded, must now be brought under con trol and management.

But even then be was not permitted to rejoin the profession for which he had been. educated ; and several years elapsed, and many expensive motions were made, before his name - was again enrolled among the attorneys and solicitors of England. The narrative is instructive, although painful. It proves the absolute necessity of some mode of revising the errors of criminal tribunals. The Committee of the House of Commons which inves tigated his case have declared it to be an excep tional one, and that " he has; strong claims on the favourable consideration of the Crown." He has, indeed. Not that any amount of money can ever atone for the persecution through which he has passed ; but it is at least the duty of the Govern ment to make amends, as far as possible, for the injustice he has sustained, and to enable himto passed the remainder of his life in ease, comfort, and independence. LATEST NEW&. LAW INTELLIGENCE—(This Day.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. FRANCE. PARIS, THURSDAY. (Sittings at Nisi Prins at Guildhall, before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) THE NON-ATTENDANCE OF JURYMEN. The coming celebration at Cherbourg promises each day io be more and more notable. Owing to the happy intervention of the King of the Belgians the Royal family of Prussia, and perhaps even the Imperial family of Austria, will, it is said, be worthily represented at that grand naval solem nity. According to the Phare de la Manche, 56 yachts are to leave Cowes on the 15th of this month for Cherbourg, to run for a cup presented by the Emperor. Great difficulty has been experienced during these sittings in obtaining a sufficient number of jurymen at the sitting of the court. This morning Mr. Baron Martin expressed his displeasure at their conduct, and gave an intimation that he would have the list read over and fine every juryman 10/. who did not answer to his name. The effect of the announcement was to fill the box with the required number almost immediately. SIMPLE V. MILLARD-FALSE IMPRISONMENT- , STRA NGE SCENE IN COURT. The Moniteur of this morning publishes a decree relative to the extension of the limits of the forti fications of Lille. This was an action to recover compensation in damages for a false imprisonment. Mr. Sleigh and Mr. Salter appeared for the plaintiff ; Mr. Sergeant Ballantine for the de fendant. Beyond the growing impression that the confer ences go on smoothly, and that, as far as the prin cipal question in their deliberations is concerned, they will shortly terminate, there is to-day no politi cal matter worthy of remark. The Belgian journals assert that there will be a reunion of the confer ences in the autumn to arrange the question of the navigation of the Danube. The letter giving this information the most precisely is quoted in the Pays of this evening. The Cologne Gazette spreads the rumour that the concentration of Russian troops now going on in Poland is not only for the purpose of reviews and manoeuvres, but to threaten Austria into the fulfil ment of her engagements contracted by the treaty of 1846, relative to the incorporation of Cracow into the Austrian monarchy. The following despatch has been received from Marseilles :—,‘lntelligence from Candia comes down to the 30th ult. Four Turkish battalions had landed as a reinforcement, but the new Governor Sami Pacha had not arrived. The Admiral Hassan-Pacha, acting as Governor ad interim, had called on the Turkish inhabitants who had taken up arms to eva cuate the fortresses, but they refused, alleging their apprehension of the Christians taking vengeance on them. In the Libanus, at the date of June 26, agitation had recommenced, and the Porte had sent a commissioner to examine the real state of things." For the benefit of those about to visit Paris after the close of the session, it may be observed that the alterations now going on in the Tuileries gardens will be finished before the Emperor's return from Plombieres. A terrace the height of the railings will be raised in front of the Palace, terminating opposite the Rue 29 de Juillet. This will be planted with trees, not so high as to obstruct the view, but high enough, we are told, to shelter us from the heat in summer. The old basins will remain, but the par terres are to give way to velvet swards and massive vases filled with flowers. The public, during the fine season, are probably to be admitted into this part of the new gardens. A letter from Plombieres says :—" His Majesty has made a present to the town of a charming park, laid out with infinite taste. The whole of the plans were last year revised by himself, and it may be cc Sid re-1 a sort of Bids de Boulogne on a small scale, a sheet of water being is tLe cent. c, a:.d rocks and plantations are ranged on various points. The other day his Majesty, when out walking, met four old soldiers, of whom three were decorated with the St. Helena medal. He gave to each of the latter 100 f. in gold, and to the fourth, who affirmed that he had a right to the medal also, he said, Come to me to-morrow morning, and I will see what your claims to it are.'

Last Sunday, there being no place of worship, in conse quence of the works going on, the Emperor gave directions to have divine service performed in the opeh air. There, under some lofty trees over shadowing the Promenade des Dame, a temporary altar was arranged, and service performed in presence of the'whole population and the Sovereign himself. A collection for the poor, made after wards by the Countess de Valabrege-Lawcestein, produced about 500 f. His Majesty is never annoyed by indiscreet 'curiosity when he goes out, each per son seeming to make it a rule to maintain the greatest reserve with respect to him. The band of the regiment quartered in the town plays every clay at 4 o'clock. All the persons who have come to take the waters assemble to hear it, and the Em peror may often be seen walking up and down without any ceremony, and sometimes seated in one of the chairs placed there for the convenience of the public."

The plaintiff is a gentleman of property, residing in Camden-terrace, Camden-town ; and the defen dant is a pastry-cook, carrying on business in Camden-town. About half-past ten o'clock on the night of the 6th of January last the plaintiff entered the defendant's shop and purchased a shilling Twelfth Cake, tendering half-a-crown in payment for it. The defendant said it was bad. The plaintiff expressed his surprise at it, and offered to give the defendant another on receiving the first back. The defendant defused to let him have it and went to the end of the counter and endeavoured with his assistant, named Menassi, to bend or de stroy it. The plaintiff interfered, and in conse quence a policeman was sent for and the plaintiff was taken to the police station on a charge of pass ing bad money, the defendant and Menassi accom panying him. The charge was there persisted in and the plaintiff was searched. Ilia clothes were unfastened and his shoes were taken off. His pocket-book was opened, and it was found to con tain letters and cards with his address and name and 201. in money. Although the plaintiff had be fore dealt with the defendant, and the litter had on one occasion been employed to cook a dinner at his house, the charge was persisted in. The plain tiff was detained till about half-past two o'clock in the morning, when he was bailed by one of his tenants. On the following morning he was taken before a magistrate where the plaintiff proceeded with the charge, the re sult of which was his immediate discharge. After that the plaintiff's soYcitor wrote to the defendant demanding an apology, which he refused, and in his letter of refusal he stated he felt extremely hurt at what he had done, when he found who the plain tiff was at the police-station, but what could he do after the plaintiff's calling him, at the police station, "a pastrycook fellow," and the like. The learned Judge suggested that the case should be arranged. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, for the defendant, said that, notwithstanding the decision in the case of "Swinfer v. Swinfer," he had undertaken upon himself to do so, but had been unsuccessful. The plaintiff was called, but before he was sworn, as ..c, e off , r that had hnon made, his object being to have an apology, and cid.r character from the imputations under which he rested. MR. STEVEN'S BREAD MACHINE. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine, on the part of the de fendant, withdrew all imputation against the plain tiff's character, and apologised for the defendant's conduct. He consented to a verdict against the defendant of 51. 55., which would carry costs. The learned Judge said the plaintiff was clearly entitled to an apology as well as his costs. It was a very proper mode of terminating the case. Mr. Sleigh, the plaintiff's counsel, then left the court, but almost immediately returned and claimed the protection of the learned judge from the threat eningconduct of one of the witnesses iu the case. The person complained of walked up to him in a very insulting manner and threatening attitude, thrusting his card in his (Mr. Sleigh's) face. He . could not get away from the man, and he was obliged to give him into custody, and have him brought before his lordship. Meuassi (the person complained of), who ap peared much excited, said he was • a respectable man, and was a nephew of the SiciliAn consul. He considered the learned counsel had insulted him by calling him a " pastrycook'4 man," in stating the facts of the above case, and on his leaving the court he went up to' him, thanked him' for his coin- Aliment, and handed him his card. The learned Judge (in which the jury concurred) said the learned counsel had not said one word about him. Menassi—He called me a "pastrycook's man," and I only went up to him and thanked him for his lies in calling me such. (Laughter.) The learned Judge said the learned counsel had done no such thing, and unless he apologised he would commit him for a week to Navigate. Coun sel must not be insulted in the fair and legitimate discharge of their duties. Menassi still persisted the learned counsel bad insulted him, but the learned judge, in consequence of his being a foreigner, allowed him to depart on his promising not to offend again. He was accord ingly discharged out of the custody of the officer of the court.

If there be not properly-constituted tribunals, those of Judge " Lynch" will be brought into operation, and evils may arise which it would take years Ito remedy. The measure just brought forward by Sir E. B. LYTTON seems' well calculated to attain the objects for which it his been prepared. It may require amendment Latex a few years' experience of its working, bnt it is certainly as good as could be framed on the spar of the moment. It professes to be but for a limited period, until 1862, so that whatever may be the result, it may be either confirmed or amended, after full experience of its operation. One thing is quite dear. The Company that has so greatly misapplied what were lit—rally golden, opportunities, must submit to the termination of its rule. The Hudson Bay's territories must be brought under the direct influ ence of the Crown, and colonies established for which we venture to predict "a good time coming." The new Secretary for the Colonies has already displayed a degree of zeal, energy, and judgment, for which he is entitled to the thanks and gratitude of the community, and which give earnest of future well-doing in', the important de partment over which he now presides. We may add that we emphatically protested against the grant of Vancouver's Island to the Company when it was made, and we rejoice to perceive that an adequate remedy will at last be provided for that gravo mistake. REGINA V. BARBER promises to become a " leading case among the causes celebres that have arisen under the criminal code. It proves that even the much vaunted trial by jury does not afford full and complete protection to inno cent persons, and that 12 impartial men, desirous of returning a true verdict according to the evidence, may occasionally fall into a fatal mistake, ruinous to the interests and destructive to the happiness of one of their fellow subjects. As we long since earnestly advocated the cause of Mr. BARBER, and demanded for him some rc compence so far as mere pecuniary matters were concerned, we may be permitted to advert to the soundness of the opinions we then put forward, which have since been so fully and completely verified and established. _ _ Mr. BARBER was a solicitor of established cha racter and reputation. By a sound knowledge of his profession, combined with great talent, inde fatigable industry, and unblemished rectitude, he had realised considerable profits, his income previous to 1844 averaging more than 2,0001. per annum. He gave employment to nine clerks, and there was nothing in his office that had not the advantage of the master's eye and the master's attention. There was nothing, therefore, surprising in the prosperity that attended his efforts. But a terrible calamity was impending, which showed the utter uncertainty of sublunary affairs. Amongst his clients he numbered a certain Mr. FLETCHER, a surgeon, who had on several occasions discovered parties entitled to Government Stock of which they were ignorant. Mr. BARBER had been en gaged in several bona fide cases for this man, in whom he reposed unbounded confidence. FLET CHER, unfortunately, conceived the design of turning his information to a dishonest Purpose, and forged certain wills and certificates of death, in order to obtain unclaimed money for hims:ilf. A discovery ensued, and FLETCHER and BARBER were tried, in 1844, at the Central Criminal Court, and both were convicted, and sentenced to transportation for life. Possession was taken of all Mr. BARBER'S property, as that of a convicted felon, and his prospects in life were apparently for ever blasted, and he himself consigned to slavery of the worst and most hopeless cha racter. Even at the very time serious doubts were en tertained respecting the propriety of the verdict. There was unquestionably ground for suspicion, but not that clear and convincing evidence that brought guilt home to the accused. Every act was consistent with his perfect innocence. He had confided too much in a client whom he believed to be an honest man, received very moderate costs, and not a farthing more, and must have been mad to have risked his well-established position for so trivial an object. All these points were ably and clearly urged, but in vain. The jury returned an adverse verdict, the judge acted on it, and pronounced the heaviest sentence which the law permitted. Mr. BARBER was sent out to Tan Dieman's Land with a batch of convicts of the worst description, and the main object of the criminal code, the protection and security of the innocent, was grossly violated in his person. We are not amongst those who believe that a consciousness of innocence can enable a man to sustain the heaviest trials with equanimity. There is a burning sense of injustice, a deep feel ing of wrong, that causes greater agony than can be endured by one who recognises the justice of his punishment. We are bound, however, to admit that Mr. BARBER'S case was opposed to this rule. Although the iron must have entered deeply into his soul—although he endured the most horrible torments that the refinement of cruelty could suggest, he always displayed unpar ralleled patience and meekness. On his outward ' voyage he averted a mutiny that might have endangered the ship and crew, and given freedom to the miserable convicts. And. when arrived, although subjected to the worst treatment, and refused every indulgence that was bestowed even on the most atrocious offenders, he endured it in such a manner a 3 to elicit the following testimonial from the amiable and excellent chaplain of that hell upon earth, Norfolk Island :—" I have never known a prisoner of the Crown who has been subjected to greater wretchedness. I rejoice to be able to add that I have never seen an instance of more dignified suffering, acconapanied by inva riably consistent conduct." We shall not pollute our columns by stating the nature of the trials which he was compelled to endure, and under which his health was rapidly breaking down. Suffice it to say that his inno cence was at length clearly established. FLETCHER, when dying, had confessed his innocence, and vari ous circumstances corroborated that confession, and rendered it strong as " proof of holy writ." And what was then the course adopted towards this deeply-injured man ? he received a conditional pardon, and was turned out naked—his convict clothes having been taken away, and penniless, might have perished before ho could have reached a civilised settlement, but for the kindness of some good Samaritans in that den of atrocity. He had literally to beg his way home. The term may be strong—for there were many who sympathized with his unmerited sufferings, and earnestly endeavoured to smooth the rugged path before him—but we mean by it that nothing was provided by the Government that had confiscated all his property. He received no public assistance of any kind to bring him back. The conditional was changed for an absolute pardon when the proofs of his innocence were made still clearer, so that no disinterested or unpre judiced person could entertain the slightest TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sir,—l might permit the letter of Mr. E. Stevens, in your paper of to-day, to pass unnoticed,—afford ing as it does, by the insignificance of its objections, the best evidence of the general accuracy of the notice which he impugns,—did not a sense of duty towards you and your readers prompt me to show that your authority has not been delegated to one so ignorant as to confound " vertical" with "hori zontal," as stated by Mr. Stevens. In his quotation from the article published in The San of the Ist inst., Mr. Stevens very disin geniously omits this most important sentence in re ference to his mixer : "such as has been known in the biscuit machines of our dockyards for more than a quarter of a century ;" thereby conveying the inference that both the mixer and duster of his machine were alleged by your reporter to be copied from a patent of 1849, whereas the latter portion only was ascribed to that source. It requires no great amount of " scientific" know ledge to decide as to the motion of an ordinary grindstone ; which, being fixed upon a horizontal spindle, rotates at right angles with the horizon. No schoolboy, I apprehend, would call this a " horizontal grindstone ;" yet that motion is what Mr. Stevens describes :—" My trough lies hori ' zontal, and its interior surface is perfectly smooth, the mixer working round and lifting the dough perfectly every revolution." A " horizontal lift" must be quite a new species of mechanical motion. Regarding the other "palpable error," as Mr. Stevens designates it, whether the " duster" be semi rotary or completely so, seems to be about as momentous a question as that which gave rise to the terrible battles in Lilliput, " whether an egg should be broken at the big end or the little one." No one, however, who looks at this part of Mr. Stevens's machine, and the corresponding one in that of 1849, can for a moment doubt that the two dusting contrivances are identical. _ _ Apologibing iuz taus Li.ezpa:sinz, on your valuable space, I am, sir, with great respect, your obedient servant, July 7, 1858.

ENDOWED SCHOGLs IN IRELAND.—The total expense of the Endowed Schools (Ireland) Commis-ion horn the 14th of November, 1854, to the 31st of March, 1858, amounted to 12,4001., plus a sum of 5,2011. for the printing of the report for Parliament.

An authority upon the iron trade, in reference to the meeting which was held at Wolver hampton on Wednesday, states that the business traue acted was limited, consumers abstaining from buying beyond what they want for immediate use° It is the opinion of American merchants ip Birmingham thet if prices of iron became settledeven at present quotations, a good autumnal trade with the United States might be expected. ATTEMPT TO S3IoTHER A POLICEMAN.—Three labourers named Pepper, Pilcher, and Prebble, were yesterday charged before the Canterbury magistrates with at tempting to drown John Kennedy, one of the Kent county constabulary, between two and three o'clock on the previous morning. The prisoners, with 40 or 50 other persons, were drinking and dancing in a barn at the rear of the Duke of Cumberland public house, Barham, when Kennedy, at the landlord's request ord-red all the company to clear out ; this they refused to do, and raised a cry of " Let's drown him," where upon the prisoner carried him to a large open cesspool, threw him into it, and held him under the contents till hewanseraer,lcy suffocated,uedbysore other persons. H e was a t th a t time and quite unable to speak. His brutal assailants were committed for trial at the ensuing Maidstone Assizes!. Oa Monday evening, whilst a gentleman was address ing the French club, which meets in the upper room at i Wylde's reading rooms Leicester -:square, he was observes to stop suddenly and take his seat. At first this was attributed to the failure of his memory, but it very soon became painfelly evident that the epeakir was suffering from illness. A medical man was sent for, who gave his opinion that it was an attack fif paralysis. He was conveyed to the Charieg-cross Hospital, where, despite the attention rendered to him, he died yesterday after noon at four o'clock. We believe that the gentleman, M. Michelot, is a French refugee, and has left two young children to deplore the loss of a father, Who was much respected by his fellow countrymen, and by all persons with whom his professional duties as a teacher of 'entitles bad thrown him in contact. AMERICA. SOUTHAMPTON, THURSDAY. The Arago has arrived with the American mails, 200 passengers, and 200,000 doll. for France, with advices of the 26th nit. New York sales of cotton are 1,000 bales, closing firm, with less activity. Wheat steady, pork heavy; freights moderate ; Philadelphia Stocks dull ; flour and wheat quiet at Buffalo, Oswego, and Albany ; flour dull. Accounts from Texas speak in glowing terms of the grain crops. The despiitch of. Lord Malmeabury respecting the right of search is deemed satisfactory. The southern mail has arrived. The intelligence was unimportant. A great number .of Mormons bad left Salt Lake city, and placed themselves under the protection of the Government. Fifty persons were injured by the giving way of the flooring in a public hall in Wellsville. There is a rumour to the effect that Judge Roos velt is to succeed Mr. Dallas as minister to Eng land. The Mobile papers say that Generals Walker and Henniugsen were rEceived there with extravagant demonstrations. The mails from all points at the South have come to hand, but the news is unimportant. Money transactions have been limited. Exchange is moderate at 1091. The markets throughout the Slates aregenerally d_ull. Thecotton market at New York is firm, and in fair request. Freigli6 are dull ; sugar and rice in fair demand ; provisions are less inquired for. DISTRESSING CASE OP SUICIDD. - A• highly-respect able family at Putney have been thrown into deep dis tress by the suicide of one of their relatives while in a state of inebriation. Tim party who committed this act was a married man, named Nicholas Blythe, a clever house decorator and plasterer, a native of Plymouth, but who had resided at Patney since his marriage with a young woman there, about 18 months ago, she being related to a very creditable funily in the place. It appears that Blythe and his young, wife had quarrelled in consequence of his intemperate habits, and she, with her child, about nine months old, left Putney for a few days, and passed the time with some friends at Brixton. During her absence Blythe con• tinned his drunken habits, but seemed much disturbed in his mind by hii wife's ab-ieuce, On Monday week he seemed more than usually excited, and waited up at his home till the last train arrived at Potney, about twelve o'clock at ❑ight, in the Expectation of seeing her. She did rot, however, arrive, and a friend advised him to re tire to rest. He replied that he would never lie in his bed again, and soon afterwards left the house. On Fri day last his body tc aA discovered floating in the Thames, near Wandsworth, and on Saturday an inquest was taken on view of it, when a verdict of found drowned was returned. In the meantime his wife returned home, and communications were made to Plymouth in the hope of finding him there. On Monday, however, it became known that the clothes of a man exactly resembling those of Blythe were lying at the• Wandsworth Police office not owned. His wife went °vir to the place the same day, and recognised the apparel as that of her hus band, who had been interred by the parish authorities at Wandsworth on Saturday. It is stated that whilst sober the unfortunate man was orderly and correct in his conduct, but that having been some time ago severely struck on the head with a. policeman's truncheon, he frequwly became frantic whilst in liquor. SECONDARIES' COURT. (Before Mr. Secondary Potter and a Special Jury.) RAILWAY ACCIDENT.-DAMAGES, 2800. SMITH Y. THE EASTERN COLTNTIES RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action brought by plaintiff against the defendants, and the jury were called upon to assess the damages sustained by plaintiff in conse quence of the breaking down of one of the com pany's carriages, in which plaintiff was a passenger, at Retford. The c. , urt was crowded with persons interested in the matter, and the damages were laid at 5,0001. Mr. Hawkins was for the plaintiff, and Mr. Ser geant Ballantine for the defendants. Mr. Hawkins said, in this case he would not have to trouble the learned secondary, or the jury, with any of the facts, as he and his learned friend had agreed to a verdict of 8001 Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said that for once "doctors had agreed," and two medical gentlemen (one for plaintiff and one for defendants) had agreed that 8001. would meet all expenses and damages incurred and sustained by plaintiff. A verdict was accordingly entered for that amount.. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Tint STOLEN CHILD.—HEARTLESS CASE.—It having become known in the neighbourhood of this court that a young female, named Myers, was in custody at the Tine-street Police-station, on the charge of stealing a little boy, four years of age, the son of a female, named Hamer, of 4, Portland-street, Soho, a crowd of 500 or 000 people assembled round the entrance of the court, and on -the prisoner-making her, appearance in the caw; tody of Sergeant Oliver, 294 A, she was greeted by loud yells, cries of "beast," "brute," &c., and it was with no little difficulty the sergeant succeeded in getting her into the court without violence being inflicted on her. The case gave rise to considerable interest from the fact that some gentlemen had waited on the Lord Mayor in connection with it, that a reward of 201. was offered for the restoration of the child, and from the sympathy felt for the mother, who has been for some time a❑ out• patient of an hospital for consumption. On the prisoner being placed at the bar she said her name was Sarah Myers, and eighteen years of age. Sarah Elizabeth Hamer, the mother of the child, who was in court, and is a tine little boy, said she went to the hospital on the 20th of May, leaving the child play ing at the door, having spoken to a friend named Louisa Law to look to it. On her return, in about half an hour, she missed the child, and bad never seen him since till the previous evening. Several articles he wore were missing. She found her child at the Chelsea workhouse. Mr. Daniel Fulton, master of the Chelsea workhouse, said that on Tuesday the 6th inst. the prisoner came to the house and applied for relief, and was admitted as a casual pauper with the child, she said he was her brother and that they were orphans, and that she had been getting a living for them by selling laces about the country. After breakfast the next morning he sent for the prisoner, and the matron having remarked that she did not think he was her brother, she said, "Oh look at him, see how much he is like me." He then elicited from the child that his name was " John Hamer," and hav ing seen an advertisement in the papers, and the clothes being identical, he sent for the mother. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the witness said he had no reason to believe she was not right in her mind. The prisoner was then remanded. GOODWOOD, 1858, One of the prizes to be run for atGoodwood this year will not only be really what its name implies, " a cup," but in fact two cups, since in adopt ing the novelty, or rather in returning t o th e o ld fashion, of utility, for the Goodwood Cup of 1858, the liberality of the manufacturer has sought further distinction by doubling, not dividing, the prize. Nor has the old form which has been chosen by Mr. C. F. Hancock, that of the tankard, or covered cup, been permitted to depreciate the value of the Plate, regarded as a monument of the ad vance of the goldsmith ' s art in this country. On the contrary, the shape ()Who cups affords scope for a rivalry with some of the celebrated works of mediceval artists, and has resulted in a success of which Be nvenuto Cell'ini himself might have b6asted. The two cups weigh 333 ounces, and stand 19 inches high, on pedestals of 3i inches. The form is very elegant and pleasing to the eye, the body of the tankard swelling out in beautiful proportions, bulb-like, in the centre, while it springs from a base which is made to exceed the circumference of its centre by a highly elaborated continuation of the subject represented on the cup itself. The mode in which ii recedes to the lip, and so unites and harmonises with the cover, is exceedingly artistic. The handle is formed by youns , satyrs entwined, with a dolphin as the finial. On the cups themselves, worked out in high relief, with masterly execution, are on the one the battle of Alexander and Darius, and on the other the battle of Hannibal and Scipio, both subjects taken from Le Brun's grand pictures. The force and spirit of the action are finely preserved ; the figure of Alexander, advancing in the full impulse of a charge, and pushing his way through the throng of combatants, on to where DJrius, aloft in his chariot, throwing down his useless bow, turns his horses to flee, is admirably animated and vigorous. The eagle flying over the conqueror's head, at once leads to and denotes the victory. The confusion of the battle, the triumph, and the defeat, are each marked cut by various groups, all in high relief, especially the grand combat between a foot soldier and a horseman, in which the foreshortening of the animal is a conspicuous evidence of the artist's skill. The chariots and the elephants, the spears of the advancing hosts, as they come up in serried ranks, the melk of combatants, the wounded and the dying, all the majesty and terrors of war, are elaborated in a :,tyle which is in no resp t ct inferior to the most lauded triumphs of mediaeval art in works of this character. There can be little doubt that the adoptieu of the present form of cups will meet with general approbation. The modeller's fancy in regard to racing "Plate" is sometimes complex, seldom suitable, not always intelligible, ' and invariably without utility. In the present instance there is a grandeur of design, perfection in execution, and a manifest adaptation to the pur pose for which "cups" were originally intended— an ornament for the sideboard, and an addition to the richness and elegance of the tabie. These cups have been manufactured by Mr. 0. F. Hancock, of Bruton-street, and will, doubtless, be selected as the chief prizes for the ensuing Goodwood Meeting. They will be exhibited fur a short time in Bruton street. MARKET NEWS.—(This Day ) CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with Eng lish wheat, coastwise and by land carriage. For all kinds we had a steady inquiry, at prices fully equal to Monday, and a clearance was readily effected. The condition of the supply was good. Only 3,120 quarters of foreign wheat have come in this week; fine samples were firm, and the turn dearer, whilst other qualities sold to a moderate extent at extreme rates. of ,in were held for more money..

The official correspondence on the gold dig.; coveries in the North-west territories of British America has been published. They seem first to have been announced in March, 1856, when it was reported that individuals were obtaining from 2/. to St. each per day. The locality is on the Frazer and Thompson rivers, about the 50th parallel of latitude, and the mines have since been called the Couteau Mines, from the name of a tribe of Indians in that quarter. At first the Indians were not troublesome, as they had no animosity against the English, but when the news of the discoveries at tracted a number of adventurers from Oregon and. California, they cpenly expressed a determination to expel them. They wished to monopolise the mines for their own benefit, and were also actuated by a fear that the influx of strangers would drive away the shoals of salmon from the rivers, on which they chiefly depend for their subsistence. The officers of the Hudson's Bay Company were not likely to provoke disputes, but it was apprehended that contentions would speedily arise with the miscellaneous multitude that were flocking in. Thus far the Indians, although manifesting a determination not to permit gold digging, had scrupulously abstained from actual violence or robbery, their practice being merely to assemble in crowds round any persons who might endeavour to carry on the operation and to force them to leave. From want of skill or other causes, however, they do not themselves appear to be able to earn much. During the three months from October to December last the total raised was only about 300 ounces. The last accounts are to the B►h of May, and for the preceding month the total was 600 ounces. Nevertheless, at San Francisco the belief was general that the district is a second California or Austt alia, and this opinion was shared by experienced persons acquainted with the geological character of the entire country. Governor Douglas, of Vancouver's Island, had put forth a proclamation, declaring the rights of the Crown to the mines, and esta blishing a license fee of 10s. per month, subse quently increased to 205., but a party of about 70 or 80 American adventurers had already proceeded without complying with this requirement ; the Go vernor, in the absence of instructions from home, not deeming it desirable to use force. Owing to the difficulty of collecting license fees he suggests that the expenses of maintaining order might perhaps be best met by a duty on imports. The number of per sons either at the mines or on the way to them had, et the latest date, increased to 1,000. Vessels from San Francisco bring the Californian adventurers to Victoria, the capital of Vancouver's Island, whence they usually proceed in boats and canoes to the mainland, ascending Frazer's River. One of these ships arrived in April bringing 450 passenger?, nearly all well provided with mining tools. Of this number about GO were British subjects, 60 native Americans, and the remainder Germans, with the exception of a small proportion of Frenchmen and Italians. They wore said to be part of the dregs of the population of. San Francisco, but their orderly conduct at Victoria led Governor Douglas to form a different conclusion. In reply to the despatches conveying the foregoing information the Colonial Secretary a week back transmitted to Governor Douglas the following cLantuunicatiou, approving his course, and at the same time conveying the only intimation on the subject of the rights of foreigners in the new district that could be consistent with the policy and dignity of Great Britain. None are to be excluded so long as they submit' themselves in common with British subjects to the established laws : "Downing-street, July 1, 1858. "Sir, —I have to acknowledge your despatch of the Bth ult. in continuation of former despatches, informing the Secretary of State from time to time of the progress of the gold discoveries on Frazer's River, and the measures which you had taken in consequence. I am anxious not to let the oppor tunity of the present mail pass without informing you that her Majesty's Government have under their consideration the pressing necessity for taking some steps to establish public order and govern' went in that locality, and that I hope very soon to be able to communicate to you the result. "In the meantime her Majesty's Government approve the course which you have adopted in so' sorting both the dominion of the Crown over this region and the right of the Crowu over the precious, metals. They think, h owever, th a t you acted timetousiy 111 WAILII.q.s rug traainuvtaliiia fore you endeavoured to c)mpel the taking out 01 licenses by causing any force to be- despatched for that purpose from Vancouver's Island. " They wish you to continue your vigilance, and to apply for instructions on any point on which you may require them. They are, however, in addition, particularly anxious to impress ou you that, while her Mjesty's Government are determined on pro' serving the rigbts, both of government and of conk merce, which belong to this country, and while they have it in - contemplation to furnish you pith such a force as they may be able to detach for your assistance and support in the preservation of law and order, it is no part of their policy to exclude Americans and other foreigners form the gold fields. On the contrary, on are distinctly strutted to oppose no obstacle whatever to their res,rt thither for the purpose of digging in those fields, so long as they submit' themselves, i 0 common with the subjects of her Majesty, to the recognition of ber authority, and conform to such rules cf police as ycu may have thought proper to establish. The national right to navi gate Frazer's River is of course a separate question. and one which her Majesty's Government must reserve. "Under the circumstance of so large -an immi: gration of Americans into English territory, I need hardly impress upon you the importance of cautioll and delicacy in dealing with those manifold cases of international relationship and feeling which are, certain to aris e, and which, but for the exercise of temper and discretion, might tasily lead to serious complications between two neighbouring and power ful States. " It is impossible by this mail to furnish you with any instructions of a more definite character. Her Majesty's Government must leave much to yotlf discretion on this most important subject, and thel rely upon your exercising whatever influence and powers you may possess in the manner which from local knowledge and experience you conceive to be best calculated to give development to the net country, and to advance imperial interests.
