Mr. Goolden was quickly in at tendance, and his patient is understood to be going on favourably. GOLD CONTRACTS.—The United States Supreme Court, through Chief Justice Chase, has recently delivered an opinion on the subject of the binding effect of a cove nant for the payment of rent in a lease of land for 99 years, made in 1791, and a renewable for ever. The rent re served was £l5 current money of Maryland, payable in English golden guineas, weighing five pennyweights and six grains, at 355. each. The Court held that the prin ciples of Bronson v. Bodes, recently decided, would govern tho case, end that, consequently, a contract to pay a certain sum in gold and silver is in substance and legal effect a contract to deliver, a certain weight of gold and silver of a certain fineness, to he ascertained by count. In reference to the mode of assessing damages the Court held that contracts for the payment of coin can be satisfied either before or after judgment only by the tender of coin, and hence, that the judgment of the Court below should be for the amount ascertained to be due, payable in gold and silver. In the case before the Court the jury had assessed the damages at the value of the rent in arrears, estimated in legal tender notes at the time the verdict was rendered. This course was held to be erro neous. The debtor in cases similar to the one above men tioned must now pay the amount of the judgment in gold and silver, and should his property be seized in execution the Sheriff must give notice that the purchaser will be required to pay in specie.—Public Ledger. The Republicans of Rhode Inland, at a State Con vention at Providence, nominated for Governor the _dm Seth Pedelford of Providence, Governor Burnside having declined another election.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) ROME, iNIARCH 19. A horrible murder, which has caused a great sensation, occurred on Wednesday evening at the Piazza Fiammella, in Rome. Major Fiocchi, a field officer in the Pontifical Artillery, was returning from the barracks late in the even ing, and on entering his house was stabbed to the heart on the staircase, before he had time to ring the bell or summon assistance. His servant, alarmed by his groans, arrived in time to find him alive, and at once summoned the surgeon and the parish priest. Major riccchi's state was found to be hopeless, but he retained his senses to the last, and received the last rites of the Church with great calmness and devotion. He had recognised his murderer, but refused to name him. "May God forgive him, as I do," he said, " and bring him to repentance." These were his last words, and no remonstrances could induce him to give a clue to the police. A terrible explanation of this reticence was found next day, when a person, to whom suspicion was directed by Fiocchi's servants, was arrested with a blood-stained knife still in his possession. He confessed the crime and its cause. He himself was a cmiale," or server of writs, and he states that he was employed to murder Fiocchi by the brother-in-law of the latter, an " avvoento," who had married his sister, and concerning whose mar riage portion there lied been a family quarrel of long standing. Poor Fiocchi had no other enemy, and the murder was evidently not the work of a common robber or of the vengeance of any political sect. The advocate was immediately arrested, and both he and the actual perpetrator of the crime will be tried immediately. The funeral took place yesterday at St. Andrea della Valle, in presence of an im mense concourse of persons, and with the . attendance of all the regiment of Artillery, as well as General Kanzler and his staff. The horse of the deceased was, according to Roman military usage, draped in black, and led behind the coffin. The Pope has addressed a brief to the whole Christian world, conceding a plenary indulgence to all persons who shall assist at mass and receive Holy Communion, being penitent for and confessed of their sins, on the• 11th of April, in unison with his own jubilee, or fiftieth year mass, to be offered that day at St. Peter's. Thig brief is dated the 10th of March, and is given under the Ring of the Fisherman, a mark of great solemnity. _ One of the most singular incidents of the present Holy Week is the arrival of a large band of Hungarian gypsies, eighty in number, to see the Pope, and to witness the ceremonies. Their chiefs were received by his Holiness yesterday, and formed a most singular novelty in the ever•curions crowd of St. Peter's. Their wild but handsome features, black plaited tresses of hair, velvet dresses trimmed with Astrachan wool, long knives, and immense silver buttons and chains, were a striking contrast to the civilisation around them. No one knows why, or whence, or how they came ; but they are encamped outside the Porta Cavalleggeri, are visited by all Rome, and are perfectly well conducted. Some of the women are singularly beautiful after the true gipsy type—never seen save in the countries where the pure Romany caste is rigorously maintained, and where its blood is never mixed with that of the European races, as in Spain and Hungary. A gentleman, giving a small coin to one of the tribe, whom he mistook for a beggar, was nearly beaten by the men who witnessed the insult. The King of Italy has decided on offering for sale the beautiful Villa Ruffinella, near Trascati, and the Palazzo di Ferenzo, or old Tuscan Embassy, in Rome. The reason of this step is the pressing need of ready money felt by the sovereign, especially since his morganatic marriage with the daughter of a drummer, and the necessity of providing for his numerous children by her, whom. he has acknow ledged and legitimatised. He is now placing large sums for this purpose in foreign securities. THE DIVISION ON THE IRISH CHURCH. The division list on the second reading of the Irish Church Bill shews that there were 623 members in the House when the division took place. This includes the four tellers—Mr. Glyn and Mr. Adam for the Ayes, and Mr. Noel and Mr. Dyke for the Noes—and the Speaker. Only three Conservatives voted with the Government, viz., Lord Bingham (Mayo), Mr. Orr-Ewing (Dumbartonshire), and Colonel Vande leur (Clare). On the other hand, six Liberals sided against their party—Mr. BriEcoe (West Surrey), Sir R. Clifton (Nottingham), Mr. Dalway (Carrickfergus), Mr. W. H. Maxwell (Kirkcudbright), Sir Roundell Palmer (Richmond), and Mr. Saunderson (Cavan). Of the three Conservatives who went with the Government, two of them—Lord Bingham and Colonel Vandeleur— were in the House last session, but only Lord Bingham then voted with the Liberals, Colonel Vandeleur absenting himself from the House. The third Mr. Orr- Ewing- was first elected for Dumbartonshire at the recent general ele .tion ; and, although returned as a Conservative, announced that he should support Mr. Gladstone on the Irish Church question. Of the six Liberals who voted with the Conservatives, four—Mr. Briscoe, Mr. Maxwell, Mr. Saunderson, and Sir Roundel' Palmer—were members of the Rorie last year, and the three former then, as now, registered their votes against their party. On that occasion Sir Roundell Palmer did not walk into the division lobby. Mr. I)alway, who was returned WI a Liberal Orangeman, suc ceeded in defeating Mr. Torrens, a thick-and-thin Conser vative, but it was not exactly known which way he would go upon this question. He is announced as a Liberal Conservative, and in favour of " a considerable reform" in the Church. The other Liberal—Sir R. Clifton—declared on the hustings at Nottingham that although he came before the electors as an advanced Radical, he was not in favour of the policy of Mr. Glad stone on the Irish Church. Mr. Butler-Johnstone, who last year went with the Liberals, now absented himself from the division. In the great division on Saturday morning, April 3rd, 18G3, the numbers voting were 605, thus skewing that 18 more members recorded their opinions onWednesday morn ing than on that occasion. Mr. Gladstone's majority was then 60; it is now nearly doubled-118. Amongst those who were absent in the first division last year, but now voted with their party, were Sir George Grey, Sir George Colthurst, and Mr. Pim. The following seats are now vacant, which were formerly filled by— LIBERALS. CONSERVATIVES. Cashel -7- 1 Bridgwater llereford Dumfriesshire ' 1 Norwich 1 Dublin Sligo Beverley 2 Blackburn 2 West Sussex 1 6j Besides these, the Hon. Percy Wyndham was granted leave of absence (owing to the death of his father), thereby showing that the Conservatives had practically nine seats vacant, while the Liberals had only six. Neither Mr. Hurst nor Mr. Aldridge (who polled an equal number of votes at Horsham), went into the division lobby. Taking into consideration, therefore, the number of seats vacant, the leave of absence granted to Mr. Wyndham, and the prevention of the Horsham member from voting, there are 639 members accounted for, leaving 19 absentees. Various causes can be assigned for those who did not take part in the division. Mr. Berkeley, the member for Bristol, has been in a precarious state of health for some time. Mr. Bass has also been suffering from severe indisposition. Mr. Butler-Johnstone has had to fly to the Continent, in order to recruit his health. Earl Grosvenor's absence is explained by the death of his infant child ; and Mr. Harvey Lewis probably did not vote in consequence of the appeal to come on in the Chancery Courts. Mr. Cawley, who won a seat for the Conservatives at Salford, has been unwell for several weeks ; and a similar cause kept away Mr. Du Pre (one of Mr. Disraeli's colleagues). Although Sir Robert Peel recorded his vote last year in favour of the disestablishment of the Irish Church, and, withal, has been a constant attendant throughout the whole of the psesent debate, his name does not appear in the division list. The two members for Oldham, Messrs. Hibbert and Platt—who were declared duly elected on Tuesday--has tened to London in order to vote ; but Mr. Dickson, who was also declared duly elected for Dover on the same day, did not put in an appearance. The other Liberals absent were Colonel Kingscote (West Gloucester), and Mr. Magniac (St. Ives), who are both suffering froth the effect of accidents in the hunting-field; and Mr. Williams (Merioneth shire). TheConserratives show the greatest number of absen tees, for besides those already mentioned, there were Mr.- ' T. Baring (Huntingdon), Mr. Richard Bright (East Somerset), Mr. Drax (Wareham), Mr. Malcolm (Boston), and Colonel Wright (Nottingham). The majority included four Beaumonts, four Russells, three Bruces, three Cavendishes (including the Marquis of Hartington), three Rothschilds, and three Vivian& In the minority there were five Smiths, four Egertons, four Ilamiltons, three llardys, and three Lowthers. The four members for the City of London threw their weight in the Ministerial scale, as well as the three members for Birmingham, and the three representatives for Glasgow. Mr. Birley, the Conservative member for Manchester, did not venture to record his vote, but his two Liberal col leagues went with the majority. Liverpool and Leeds balanced each other, three Liberals and three Conserva tives voting each way. Lord Stanley, although he did not speak in the debate, went with his party. The following Liberals who last year went with the Conservatives are not now members of the Howe, viz., Sir J. Matheson, Lord Cremorne, Mr. H. B. Baring, and Mr. James Wyld. These were balanced by the following four Conservatives who went with the Liberals, hat who are not now in the Bougie of Commons—Colonel DFune, Ws Zing.

PORTICO ROBBERY.—Mary Ann Leech, oakum picker, was charged before Mr. Knox with being in possession of some antique coins, stolen from the house of Mrs. Hart, No. 18, Berkeley-square, whose house was entered and robbed on the 16th inst. Mr. W. Scrivener, watchmaker and jeweller, of Storey's gate, said that on Monday evening the prisoner came and offered two dozen antique coins for sale, saying, in answer to his questions, she had had them in her posses sion for years, and that they were found while pulling down the Nag's Head public-house in Tothill-street. Not being satisfied with her answers ho sent for the police. A sergeant of the B Division said that the prisoner was taken before the magistrate at the Westminster Police court and discharged, and the coins onlercd to be detained for a month. Sergeant Gould said that he rezeived the coins from the Westminster Police-station, and On taking thorn to Mrs. Hunt she Hentified them as her property, and as a portion of the property which had been taken from her house. Ho appyehended the prisoner, and she then said that she picked them up at the corner of Chapel• street on the morning of Monday last. He went to the address the prisoner gave, and found that all sorts of low characters lived in the house. Mrs. Hatt having identified the coins as her property, md having- &;..ted that they funned pact of the tui;sin.; prep,rty, Mr. Knox asked Mrs. Hart whether she had missed other property besides coins, and she said that she had, sod that her house had been entered by means of the portico. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner. THE NEWS BOYS.— Samuel Thorn, James Concher, and Frederick Concher, three lads who sell papers in Regent ei-.-cus, were charged before Mr. Knox with disorderly conduct and using obscene language. Mr. Scarth appeared for the prisoners. Sergeant Jeffery, 21, said that at half-past six the pre vious evening he was on duty in the Regent-circus, when ho saw Thorn, who as well as the others sell papers, run after a gentleman, and on tolling him to desist he made use of a vile express on towards him, and the other pri soner made use of a similar expression between them selves, and as there had been great complaints from the inhabitants he took them into custody, and some of the inhabitants were present. _ _ _ In answer to Mr. Scarth, the sergeant said that papers had been sold at the same place for 10 years, but that since the halfpenny papers had coins out the numbers of ven dors had increased to as many as 30 of a night. He had cautioned the lads that they must not run in front of pas sengers. There was a great deal of competition amongst the lads. He was positive that some of the language was made use of to him, and some between themselves. Police-constable Alfred Hunt, 166 0, gave similar evidence. Mr. John Frederick Marchant, of 293, Regent-street, complained of the nuisance he, in common with other tradesmen, suffered, and said that of an evening the pave ment was blocked up, and persons prevented entering the shops. Mr. Knox said it must be a monstrous bore, no doubt. Mr. Scarth addressed the magistrate on behalf of the prisoners, and said that he thought, under the circum atances, that if the prisoners were warned it would be suf ficient. Mr. Knox said that such cases were more trouble to deal with tba.n many others. A little time ago a number of Inver girls were brought before him, seven or eight of them at a time, for blocking up tradesmen's doors. At first he discharged them, and hit on the plan that if they sold their flowers separately they would not in any way be interfered with ; and if the newsboys acted separately, and did not curse and swear and make nse of beastly language, they would not be interfered with, but thirty of them together was too many. Thorn said he had sold papers at the place for ten years. Mr. Knox said that what he should require the prisoners to do was to find a surety of L 5 each. •qitire daliwitys. raid.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—A FOOLISH YOUNG WOMAN. — Ellett Staploford, a young woman, was charged with attempting to commit self-destruction by throwing her self into the London Dock from the badge at Old Gravel lane, St. George-in-the-East, on Wednesday night last. She was with great difficulty rescued by a man who was passing by, and who procured the drags and kept her afloat until a boat put off. She was raised into the boat, and carried in a state of insensibility to the workhouse, where she remained until this morn ing. She appeared very ill and weak. H er husband, who said he was a groom by occupation, had not been in any regular situation for four years. He was very poor, and only obtained a job now and then. He had been quarrelling with his wife about not being able to get any money, but he never ill-used her. The pri weer expressed great sorrow for what she had done, and her landlady gave her a good character, and said she em ployed her for a shilling a day and her tea in making up slops. She offered to be responsible for the future good conduct of the prisoner. Her husband made a similar offer. The Magistrate would not take upon himself the re sponsibility ofdischarging the prisoner at present, nor would he take tail for her. Ile should remand her to the Olerkenwell House of Detention for a week, and she would receive the advice and attentions of the chiplain. Ho hoped she would profit by them and come out of prison a sadder, if not a wiser woman. She had committed a most wicked act after a few tiumsaniug words with her hus band, who was, it seemed, kindly disposed towards her. WESTMINSTER. GENTLEMEN IN DIFFICULTIES.— Mr. George Gordon, of Oakley-street, "gentleman," and Mr. George Hargrava William Broughton: Gascoigno Parker, of Ho ward Villa, 17, Thistle-grove, Brompton, "dramatic authcr," were charged with disorderly conduct and causing a crowd to assemble in the Fulham -road. They were fined 58. each. MR. HARVEY LEWIS, M.P., AND HIS CONSTITUENT S. On Tuesday night a public meeting, called by a few of Mr. Grant's supporters at the late election, was held in the large hall over the Portman Arms, Milton-street, Marylebone, for the purpose of considering the position of Mr. Harvey Lewis. Mr. George Verey (member of the Marylebone Vestry) presided, and said it was a very great hard ship that through peculiar circumstances connected with one of their members a borough which ought at least to have five members had now only one representative. A resolution was then moved that Mr. Harvey Lewis be called upon to resign his seat in the House because of the impossibility of his attending to his duties, and the consequent loss of support to the Liberal Government. The judg ment of Vice-Chancellor Malina, in which the trans actions with which Mr. Lewis was connected were condemned as " false, fictitious, and fraudulent," w a s quoted, and it was urged that the only honour able course open was for Mr. Lewis to place his seat in the hands of his constituents, and if he did not think they condemned his conduct he could put himself in nomination again, and thus test the matter. An amendment was moved to this, that the electors withhold their opinion until the result of an appeal to a higher court had been ascer tained, and the mover condemned the course pro pcsed to be followed by the meeting as mean and cowardly. The uproar that followed lasted for some time. No seconder could be found for the amendment, which consequently fell to the ground, and the original motion was carried wi;la four dis sentients. Mr. Alfred Dwell, a recent supporter of Mr. Lewis, moved a resolution, "That a deputa tion from the meeting wait upon Mr. Daniel Grant with a requisition asking him to allow himself to be put in nomination in the event of a vacancy." The resolution having been seconded, an amendment was moved that Dr. Sandwith be called on to stand for the borough. A very warm discussion then followed as to the merits of Dr. Sandwit h ' Mr. Baxter Langley said that neither Mr. Lewis nor Mr. Chambers was fit to represent Marylebone, and the latter represented a class that dabbled in Gospel mongerings. This remark was received with hisses, and Mr. Baxter Langley added that he had every respect for religion, but not for the SAbbatarians Mr. Chambers represented. Mr. Langley then related an anecdote, which showed, as he said, that Mr. Chambers' abilities were thought very little of by his colleagues, but great confusion was created by his refusal to give l i the names of the authorities he quot_d. In conclusion, he recommended them to unite and send the requisition to Mr. Grant, on condition that his supporters would agree to aid Dr. Sandwith at the next general decti on, which, be b e lieved,' would occur in July in coneequeuce of the Irish Church Bill being, as he anti cipated, rejected by the Lords. Mr. Kelly said Mr. Langley had no right to interfere with Maryleboue, and could only have done so to serve his own pur poses. 'The amendment upon being put was de clared lost, and the original motion having been carried, Mr. Pullen was asked, as hon. secretary, to draw up the requisition agreed upon. The pro ceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the chairmen.

The Field-Marshal Commanding- in-Chief hav ing granted permission for a portion of the corps of Royal Engineers to take part in the Volunteer Re view at Dover on Easter Monday, for the purpose of laying down and working the codes of flag and tele graphic signalling, as taught in the Army Signalling School at Chatham, the first division of the field equipment lift headquarters, Brompton-baracks, for Dover yesterday morning, the remainder following today. The mounted portion, which left Chat ham yesterday, consisted of 35 non-commissioned officers and men, with 39 horses, four telegraph waggons, and two general service waggons, with Lieut. B. Blood iu command. The Royal Engineers take with them eight miles' length of telegraph wires, with posts, and the necessary appliances for laying down the telegraph to every portion of the ground to be occupied on Alonday by the Volunteers, the whole of the wires radiating from the spot selected for the head-quarters, in order that every portion of the field may be in direct communication with the General com manding and bis Staff, which will enable orders to be issued simultaneously to the entire force. A considerable -amount of interest is at tached to the proposed movements on Monday from the circumstance of its being the first occasion in this country of the operations of a corps d'ar»zee being directed by means of the telegraph, al though in the Abyssinian campaign the electric telegraph contributed in no inconsiderable de gree to the suotess of *our arms. Morse's sys tem of telegraphy will be used on the occasion, and the whole of the arrangements connected with the telegraphy department wdl be under the direction of Capt. It. Stotherd, principal instructor in telegraphy, at the Royal Engineer establishment, Chatham, with Major F. J. Bolton, Deputy Assistant-Quar termaster-General, the inventor of the system of day and night military signalling in use in the army. Captain J. M. IL Maitland, Lieutenant R. Y. Y. Armstrong, and Lieutenant D. C. Court ney, Royal Engineers, and Cornet H. S. Gough, 10th Hussars (who is under instruction in military signalling at Chatham), with the dismounted de tachment of Royal Engineers, will proceed from head-quarters by railway this morning. On Tuesday the Ist Infantry Brigade at Alder shott, under the command of Major-Gen. H. Ronny —consisting of the2d battalion 6th Regiment, under Col. Elkington ; the 21 battalion Bth, under Col. Robertson ; and the Ist battalion 25th King's Own Borderers—formed up on the Brigade Parade, South Camp, at 10, and proceeded thence to the Queen's Parade, North Camp, where it marched past iu open column in grand divisions en masse of columns, in brigade, and in double time, with arms at the trail. Several field movements succeeded, after which General Ronny formed the brigade into square and bade them farewell, being about to proceed to the Straits Settlements to take the com mand there. He highly eulogised the conduct and discipline of the brigade, and between the General and the soldiers the regret at parting appeared to be mutual. In the " Griffith Graunt" libcl case of Charles Reade v. Sweetzer on trial at New York the jury on the 4th March awarded 6 cents damages to the plaintiff. The evidence was so interesting, especially that of Mr. House, that we regret that want of spacevivclucles a uotiw of it this week. I I il > I U
