THIRD EDITION. sent practice'motions were brought forward on Friday nights on the formal question of adjournment, which might be most properly postponed. By the present practice Minis ters were sometimes precluded from making explanations, and the result was, that Friday night was devoted to a va riety of matters to the postponement of public measures. lie read, amid much laughter, a list of the motions for to - morrow evening on miscellaneous subjects to support his position, and with respect to the practice being a safety valve for private members, as it was contended; but the effect was to render the valve as large as the boiler. He concluded by strongly urging on the house the propriety of adopting his motion. Mr. Al. AIILNES opposed the motion, and accused the hon. mover of indulging in official pedantry. He defended the present practise, and complained of the length to which Ministers extended their speeches, which prevented private members having an opportunity of bringing forward im portant questions. There were a great many questions on which it was net desired to raise a debate, bat merely to make an explanation, and it would be hard to deprive members of the constitutional privilege they at present enjoyed. Mr. E. JAMES said the hon. mover had alluded to a motion of his with reference to Dr. Smethurst, which stood on the paper for to-morrow evening. It was a matter on which the public mind was interested, and it would be de sirable that there should be supplied the information which it was his object to elicit. He thought the motion was an interference with the just privileges of hon. members, and he trusted it would be rejected by the house. (Hoer, hear.) Mr. DEEDES made a few observations in support of the motion. Lord C. TIA.MILTON opposed the motion, and consi dered that the suppression of the present practice would lead to evils more serious than that which it was intended to remedy. Mr. WALTERS followed on the same side. Mr. DISRAELT said that he had opposed on more than one occasion motions of the same character, and though the present privilege bad been occasionally abused. Still he trusted to the good sense of the house to prevent any seri. ous inconvenience arising. [LEFT SPEAKING.] BRITISH POSSESSIONS Share Railways. 'Atlantic & St Lawrence' Leased at 6 per cent..

THE ARMY IN INDIA. The LORD CHANCELLOR informed the house that he had received letters from the Governor-General of India, and the whole of the officers expressed their thanks for the distinguished honour that had been conferred upon them by their lordships. GLEBE HOUSES. The Earl of DUNGANNON gavo notice that he would, on Monday, ask whether any measure was in preparation with respect to glebe houses. SLAVERY. Lord BROUGHAM moved for certain returns connected with slavery, and also for returns relative to the importa• tion of cotton. RUMOURED ANNEXATION OF SAVOY. Lord NORMANBY gave notice that he would, on an early day, ask of her Majesty's Government whether they had any knowledge of papers, said Coexist at Paris, relative to the rumoured negotiations between Sardinia and France, for the annexation of Savoy to the latter kindgem. He did not intend to raise any discussion on the question, but simply to put the question for the purpose of receiving information. The noble lord then made some explanation relative to what he said during the debate on Tuesday night. Lord BROUGHAM said the best thing that could hap pen to Italy was that all the minor states should unite themselves under Sardinia, and form a compact kingdom. NEW PEER. Lord HASTINGS took tho oaths and his seat as a peer of the United Kingdom. TILE ADDRESS. The Lonn STEWARD brought up her Majesty's answer to the Address of their lordships on the occasion of the opening of Parliament. THE COURT OF CHANCERY. The Lord CHANCELLOR introduced n Lill for the better definition of the duties of Masters in Chancery. After a few words from Lord BROUGHAM, The bill was read a first time. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COTTONS.—(This EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. B. OSBORNE took the oaths and his Boat for Liskeard. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The standing orders were announced to have been com plied with in the case of the Metropolitan Railway Bill and several other private bills, several of which were also read a first time. PETITIONS. Mr. BUTLER presented a petition from the inhabi tants of St. George's-in-the-East complaining of the Popish practices introduced in that locality by the Rev. Bryan King, the rector, and praying the house to devise some means to redress the grievance in question, and also to give the laity a control in such matters. Petitions were also presented in favour of legalising mar riage with a deceased wife's sister, in favour of tenant right in Ireland, in favour of the ballot and triennial parlia ments, &U. &c. NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. BRAND, a writ was ordered for the borough of Scarborough, vacant by the elevation of the Hon. W. Denison to the peerage, under the title of Lord Londesborough. BEVERLEY. Mr. INGHAM moved that in compliance with the re port of the committee on the Beverley election, the Attorney- General be instructed to prosecute Daniel Boys and Robort Taylor, proved to have been guilty of corrupt practices at the election in question. ROMISH PRACTICES IN THE CHURCH OF -- Mr. D. SEYMOUR asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department whether the Government intended to bring forward any mea9ure for the relief of parishioners in cases where the incumbent of a living held doe trines and adopted a ceremonial so closely ap proaching tha of the Church of Rome, that they do not oblige him to leave the Church of England, yet have the effect of preventing the great majority of his pa rishioners, on conscientious motives, from attending his ministration of the setvices and sacrament. He considered that the occurrences taking place any Sunday justified his bringing forward the subject on the present occasion. Sir G. C. LEWIS said he supposed the hon. member referred to the disturbances in St. George's-in-the-East. Mr. D. SEYMOUR.—Not only there but elsewhere. Sir G. C. LEWIS—At all events no other instance had been brought under his notice. He believed the objections that had been made in regard to the practices in the church referred to the manner in which the ceremony was performed, and not to the doctrines preached from the pulpit. Tho Government had no intention of introducing any bill on the subject. THE VOLUNTEER FORCE. Lord ELCIIO asked the Secretary of War a question in reference to a speech reported in the Scotsman as having been delivered by the commander of her Majesty's forces, in which he said that the volunteer force was utterly use less. Mr. S. HERBERT said that Lord Melville, the officer alluded to wa s a practical soldier, and had certainly made use of the expression alluded to. The Commander-in-Chief had written to the noble lord on the subject, and had re ceived a reply from him expressing his regret for having made use of the expression in question. THE NAVY. Sir C. NAPIER moved for returns of men who entered under the Bounty Proclamation, and of the number who have since deserted ; distin g uishing those who entered un der the bounty, and those we did not so enter ; of the total number of men who deserted during the year immediately preceding the time of the proclamation ; of the number of men now serving who have completed 10 and 15 years; and of the number of men not serving who have received the short service pension ; and the number of men serving who are entitled to the service pension, but who have not re ceived it. Lord C. PAGET said that supplying the information relative to those who bad deserted the service would be at tended with considerable expense, and would not be pro ductive of the object which the gallant member had in Piero. Any other information in his power he would be happy to supply. Sir C. NAPIER said he wouid abandon the last para graph in his motion, but he certainly must press for the in formation relating to deserters. His object was to ascertain if the Go vernmen t had exercised due vigilance in regard to detecting and punishing these deserters. The motion was negatived without a division. PETITIONS OF' RIGHT. Mr. BOVILL obtained leave to bring in a bill to amend the laws relating to petitions of right, to simplify the pro ceedings, and to make provisions for the cost thereof. MESSAGE FROM THE QUEEN. Lord PROBYN, the Controller of the Royal Household, brought up the Royal Message of her most gracious Majesty, in reply to the address, to the effect that with respect to the public affairs of the country, the house might rely on her Majesty's efforts to improve the laws, to extend the commerce, and to amend the condition of the country. ENDOWED SCHOOLS. Mr. DILLWYN obtained leave to brine, in a bill to amend the law respecting endowed schools. FRIDAY ADJOURNMENTS OF THE HOUSE. Mr. E. P. BOUVERIE moved, pursuant to notice, that whenever the house meets on Friday for business it shall, at its rising, adjourn to the following Monday, unless the house shall otherwise order. Ho explained that under the pre- THE REFORM BILL. DEPUTATION TO LORD JOHN RUSSELL. (THIS DAY.) This morning a deputation from the city attended at the Foreign-office for the purpose of presenting to Lord J. Russell a petition, signed by 10,000 in habitants, on the subject of Reform in Parliament. There were present—Col. Sykes, M.P., Mr. Roupell, M.P., Mr. J. Caird, M.P., Mr. Whalley, M.P., Mr. Heywood (formerly M.P. for North Lan cashire), Mr. Samuel Morley, Mr. Whitehurst, Mr. White (formerly M.P. for Plymouth), Messrs. Baring, Mr. Allan, Mr. R. Higgins, Mr. Heywood, Mr. R. N. Philipps, (Common Councilman), Mr. Donald Nicoll, Mr. W. Connell (Common Council man), Mr. Hodson, and other gentlemen. When they assembled his lordship's private secretary entered the room, and stated that Lord John Russell was confined to his room by a severe cold, and that he would either receive them on a future day, or et once if they would proceed to his house in Uhesham-place. - - The members of the deputation determined upon waiting upon his lordship at once, and repaired in a body to Cltesham-place, where his lordship gave them a very courteous reception, and expressed his regret that be had occasioned them so much trouble. The following petition was then read to his lordship : TO THE HONOURABLE THE COMMONS OF GREAT BRITAIN AND DIELAND IN PARLIAMENT ASSEMBLED. The humble Petition of the undersigned Inhabitants of the City of London, Sheweth,—That your Petitioners accept with satisfac tion the assurance of her Majesty's Ministers that they will be prepared, in the ensuing session of Parliament, to introduce a real and honest measure for the amendment of the laws which relate to the representation of the people. That, in the judgment of your Petittoners, no measure will be regarded as a settlement which does not include a largo extension of the suffrage both in counties and in boroughs ; an equitable redistribution of seats in proportion to the population and property of the constituencies; au assimilation of electoral laws for England, Scotland, and Ireland; and such protection to to the voter, by moans of ballot, as may arrest that corruption and intimidation which have been so fearfuily prevalent in the late election, and which threaten to undermine the political institutions of the country. In the opinion of your petitioners, these offences should be visited with more severe and disgraceful punishments, and conviction be rendered more summary and more easily attainable than under the present Corrupt Practices Pre vention Act. Your petitioners therefore pray your honourable House speedily to pass such a measure into law. And your petitioners will ever pray. Mr. S. MORLEY explained at some length the circumstances under which the petition had been signed so extensively in the City of London, where there vas an eager desire for a wide and substantial measure of reform. Ho then went over the various points of the petition. Lord JOAN RUSSELL said that as a representa tive of the City of London in the House of Com mons, ho would gladly take charge of tho petition, and he quite agreed with the petitioners, that the time had arrived when a substantial measure of Reform should be submitted for the consideration of Parliament. He had, in conjunction with other members of the Cabi net prepared a measure which he trusted would be satisfactory to the country at large. It was his intention to state the details of this measure to the House of Commons on the 20th of February, and the public would have ample means of consi• dering and discussing it prior 0 its second reading. At present it would obviously be premature to state more with regard to it. After some further conversation the deputation thanked the noble lord for the courteous reception he had given them, and retired. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-( THIS DAY.) LITER TUBE. The Day of Small 7 hinge. By the Author of " Mary Powell," &c., &c. Arthur, Hall, and Virtue. There is an attraction in the works of this authoress that rivals many more brilliant compositions. In the present instance the story is very simple, being the diary of an invalid lady who lived a solitary life, but who interested herself so much in the concerns of her friends that her sad and suffering existence was robbed of its sting, inasmuch as she forget her self in others ; anxiety for them diverted her thoughts from dwelling on her own pain, and in forming plans for their welfare she enlivened the weariness of her lonely hours. As is written in the motto on the title-page— " Young and old all brought their troubles, Small and great, for me to hear. I have often blessed my sorrows, That made other's griefe so near." Tho various characters who arc recorded in Mrs. Cheerlove's diary aptly represent the chances and changes of life. The prosperous Mrs. Pevensey, who seemed so impervious to trouble and so active in the discharge of her manifold duties, in pursuing a plan of pleasure, meets with a fearful accident, and is for life a helpless cripple. Arbell, her daughter, who at first seems in the background and neglected by her juvenile mother and arrogant governess, suddenly becomes the chief person in the household. Harry Prout, the enthusiastic young man, was a would-be poet, but the sudden death of his father, and consequent destitution of the family, forced him to turn his attention to sober prose, and the change was beneficial to him. Miss Burt is a good specimen of that odious class who go about from house to house, discontenting all near them ; her presence was a real infliction to one whose nerves were sensitive, like Mrs. Cheerlove, and her presence was a great; trial in the establishment. The domestic storms caused by the conduct of Phillis are amusingly told, and the trick practised upon her by Harry Prout, in dressing up as a servant to take her place, was very efficient in giving her a wholesome warning. The simple occurrences here recorded gradually work out important changes in the life of those who appear before us, and the quiet manner in which they , are told makes them the more impres sive. This is a most pleasing little book in its way, and will not be found unworthy of its more strik ing predecessors. The Life of Sehleiermacher. Translated from the German. by Frederica Rowan. 2 vols. Smith and Elder. The name of Schleiremacher is less known in this country than in his own ; nevertheless it is one that deserves to be remembered among us as well as in the Fatherland. The opening passage of tho translator's introduction to the volumes before us will best show the estimation in which he was held among his own people— "On the 15th February, 1834, a funeral procession was seen moving through the streets of Berlin, the like of which that capital had rarely before witnessed. The coffin, covered with a black pall and simply decorated with a large copy of the Bible, was borne on the shoulders of twelve students of the University, thirty-six of the most robust of whom had volunteered to perform, alternately, this pious service. After these came a train of mourners on foot, extending upwards of a mile in length, and these were followed by one hundred mourning coaches, headed by the equipages of the King and the Crown Prince. Along the whole line tra versed by the procession, dense crowds of sympathising spectators had gathered, while in the cemetery, beyond the gates of the city, similar crowds were assembled; and on every countenance might be read the fact, that the indivi dual borne to the grave, was one of those representative men in whom are concentrated,, as it were, in a focus, the moral and intellecLual life of the nation and the period to which they belong, and who become, in consequence, centres of new light and diffusers of new and vivifying warmth. Such was, indeed, the case; for it was Friedrich Schleior • macher, whom, by a spontaneous movement, the capital of Prot.:t - tant Germany was thus honouring in death. " During a quarter of a century Schleiermacher had exer cised in that city the double function of a teacher in the university and in the church ; and approving himself a fear less citizen in times of imminent peril, and an inspired preacher during a period of great religious indifference, he had, at a most critical juncture in the history of Prussia, contributed more than any other individual to keep alive, in all classes, the pride of nationality and the love of inde pendence, and to awaken religious earnestness and quicken ing moral sentiments. Ever ready to sacrifice himself in the interest not only of his country but of the whole German nation, then bending under the yoke of France, his example had acted contagiously, in Berlin more especially, where his influence was supreme, and had sustained in the people that determination to liberate themselves when an opportu nity offered, which was ultimately so nobly carried out." Five and twenty years have passed since then, and though the preacher's name and works are still in high repute, his admirers have asked in vain for the biography, which from their knowledge of his per sonal influence they had so ardently desired. At length the work before us, founded on his own autobiography and letters was brought before the public. We do not wonder at the cordial reception it has met with in Germany. Among those inti mately acquainted with his works, his character and his fame, we can readily imagine that it has, as the translator observes, made Schleiermacher once more a living presence. For an English public less warmly interested in the subject, the work is almost too diffuse and lengthy, butit would perhaps have been difficult to have compressed it greatly without interfering with its struc ture and with the full length portrait of its subject's life and character which it presents to us. Like many another bold and liberal advocate of great principles, Schleiermacher had much to contend against. In matters of church government and other polemical questions he met with vehement opposition. He took an active part in the proposed reform of the Prussian Church, and the Union of the Lutheran and Reformed Churches was one of his favourite projects. He strongly objected to the proposal which was spoken of in influential quarters, to make subscription in the Evangelical Church compulsory, and in the minor questions of reforming the liturgy and hymn-book he also took a prominent part. These points, as is often the case, though of little vital importance, caused as much excitement and dissension as the greater questions, and the enmities resulting from their discussion caused Schleiermacher much annoy ance. We are told, however, that neither these vexations or far greater troubles could disturb the equanimity lie drew from a deeper source. After the war of liberation, when the reaction set in, Schleiermacher was denounced to the King, being ' looked on with suspicion in high circles, " like most of the men who had infused into the nation the spirit which had driven the foreigner out of the land, but which was now to bo quelled, lest it might insist with too much vigour on the fulfilment of the promises made by the Sovereign in the hour of need." He remained for some time under apprehen sions that he might lose his professorship at the uni versity. These anticipations were, however, ground less, as in 1831 his services to the constitution were officially recognised by the bestowal of the order of the Red Eagle. It was during the struggle for national existence that Schleiermacher most dis tinguished himself. He took an active part in all political associations formed for the purpose of freeing the country from French despotism, and his sermons, full of eloquence and fervour, stirred the hearts of the people and encouraged them for the struggle. The description of one of his ser mons, addressed to the volunteers of Berlin in 1813 when they were about to start on their expedi tion, shows the wonderful power with which he preached, and the high and noble spirit with which he sent them on their mission. " We, also, the preachers of peace," he says is one of his letters, " if we have not all seized the sword, have at least had recourse to the telling battery of words, and have from the holy altar called the people to battle, to share in the life and death struggle." The letters, which occupy the greater portion of these volumes, do credit to their author's head and heart, and show him to have been as fervent in affection and as admirable in private life as he was eminent for his scientific attainments and distin- guished for the vigour and eloquence of his preach ing. In early life he seems to have been slightly imbued with the tinge of the prevailing mysticism and dangerous sentimentality of his time; but in maturer years his strong moral perception and com mon sense regained the ascendency, and emanci pated him from its influence. The reader will find much to interest and gratify him in the perusal of this life of a good and great man. The Volunteer Rffleinan and th. Rffle. By John Boucher. W. 0. Mitchell. To the scientific, or, rather, would-be scientific reader, this volume will prove acceptable ; and cer tainly the veriest tyro cannot complain of a lack of minuteness of detail, whether in dynamics, pneumatics, or chemistry. The author gravclY forms us in his opening chapter, that "A bullet, on leaving the muzzle of any firearm, makes a passage through the air more or less short before it reaches the mark." With such v ery particular and obvi▪ ous information to commence with, the read er ha s li▪ ttle cause to fear being left in the dark on more abstr use subjects. But, apart from thi s, there is useful in formotion to be gathered from the book ; and i t i s a relief, after the number of p roduc tions which h ave emanated from the pen s of " Smith, - ones, and Robinson" on the volunt eer question, to meet with a work which goes deeper into the subject than drill and uniform; upon the latt er o f wh i ch the au thor makes the following remarks : The question of uniform and general equipment is, in fact, of far moreimportnce than may appear at first sight i n a n ago which has abolished epaulettes and gorgets, which laughs at the Lord Mayor's carriage, and has substituted plain tunics for the gorgeously embroidered doublets which were formerly worn by the Warders in the Tower. There is in many quarters, I admit, a well .founded objection to unnecessary sumptuary display, to gingerbread finery and party coloured masquerading when practical duties have to be performed; but this love for plainness and sobriety of attire may be carried too far, and is dangerously apt to de generate into Quakerism. To toll the truth, this rifle shoot ing is but an apprenticeship to the great trade of man kill ing, and that is a craft requiring some little dressing to dis guise its abstract horror. Slaughter, or its simulation, without some moderate amount of drumming and trumpet ing, must be repugnant and abhorrent to every heart in which glows a spark of humanity ; and if the very simplest and most convenient costume that exists were adopted by soldiers, our Guards would go forth to battle in the bliss frocks f butchers, and with their sleeves tucked up to their elbows. Let there, then, in the name of common sense, be no pea cock finery, but let us have a sufficient amount of military smartness and military gaiety in the costume. We don't want legions dressed in the fantastic array of the American Volunteers, the " Boston Tigers," the " Syracuse Scor pions," or the " Mississippi Fire-eaters ;" but we may well shudder at the notion of having swarms of English Rifle men, dressed in holden grey and wide-awake hats, half convict, half plough-boy looking. It is easy to combine taste and elegance with practical utility. A general key note of colour, a margin of appearance, mustbe established, and minor detail and ornamentation may be safely left to the good taste of those to whom the Lords-Lieutenant of Counties may be pleased to confide the training and drill ing of our volunteers. The Rifle Volunteer will find information on the range of projectiles, and other observations, which, if properly attended to, may be of service to him. The Old Coal-pit; or, The .Adventures of .Richard Boothby in Search cf his Own Way. A Story for Boys. By E. J. May, author of " Louis' School Days," &c. John W. Parker. 'This is a v er y super i or wor k, an d can h ar dl y f a il to achieve its object, that of setting before young boys, in strong chara c t ers , th e d anger o f suc h head strong actions as are her e s p o k en o f. M any a b oy may take warning from the sad life of Richard Boothby, who ended, as i s genera ll y the case, in imposing upon himself far mo re severe re strictions, and exposing himself to more pain ful ordeals than could have awaited him un der any circumstances had he followed tha orders of his parents, and those set in authority over him. Ile was naturally of a good disposition, which rendered his many derelictions from duty and subsequent calamities all the more distressing. He was, however, of that irritating carelessness of character that nothing seems ever to affect in a serious and lasting manner. The extraordinary adventures he met with in Italy may appear to some exaggerated ; but such occurrences are by no means improbable in the imperfect state of the law abroad, and i f such is not the danger to be apprehended at home, those who make enemies by inconsiderate trifling with the feelings of others, as Richard did to Silvio, will most assuredly reap a bitter harvest. Wlien ho had thrown away all his opportunities, and consigned himself to a very different position to the one originally intended for him, and which would have been more consonant with his tastes, in reality; too late did he recal:the:many, many means of grace he had cast aside. The gentle exhortations of his sister which he had so disregarded when uttered, but which when she had been laid in the dust rose up in his memory as the beacon lights which had waned him of destruction, and which he had, in the blindness of his infatuation and the wilfulness of his pride, neglected at the time when they would have been of such signal service to him. We commend this little volume to the earnest attention of the young as an excellent lesson to their inexperienced minds, and an able illustra tion of the world's ways, in which they will find a fair picture of the trials that await the self-suffi cient and overbearing when they leave their school days to enter on the battle-fields of life. It was truly said of Richard, " Unstable as water thou shalt not excel ;" and his boyhood of folly, which refused the teaching of wi s dom, was fol lowed by a youth of strife and sufferings, to result in a lifetime of bitter regrets. THE EMPEROR OF THE FRENCH' AND THE POPE. .----.,0.---. (From IV Polly Post.) We are in a condition to affirm that the follow ing statement is true : The Emperor of the French has written a second letter to the Pop:. It was brief, but emphatic. llis Majesty is willing and anxious to remain, as hitherto, " the eldest son of the Church," and con tinue deferential to the Holy Father in all things ; but if his Holiness oppose the late propositions, let him remember Henry the Eighth! The Pope having called for the withdrawal of the French troops from Rome, the Emperor in the same letter says that they shall be withdrawn if his Holiness persists ; but that he (the Emperor) will cause a mnth's notice to be given to all strangers resident in the Eternal City. 21118 DA I'S MARKETS.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CURIOUS ASSAULT AT "BEN CAUNT'S." - Mr. John Gill, of 11, Everett-street, Russell-square, appeared to an swer a summons, at the instance of Mr. Albert Garrod, of Eaton-place, for an assault under th• following circum stances : Mr. Humphreys, junior, appeared for the complainant and Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, for the defendant. The evidence of the complainant, which was rather lengthy, was to the following effect :—On the 16th Dec., between one and two in the afternoon, the complainant went into the house of Mr. (Jaunt, the Coach and Horses, St. Martin's-lane, and continued drinking champagne and other things till between eight and nine, when Mr.:Caunt in troduced the defendant to him as Mr. Thompson, a cab pro prietor. They then commenced playing at cribbage, at first for small stakes, and afterwards increasing them till the last played for was £2O a side. They continued drinking cham pagne, and about twelve the complainant said he felt very ill, as if he had been drugged, and was obliged to leave the room for a few minutes, and when he returned an alterca tion took place, the complainant saying he was too ill to continuetho game, and having during the game seen some • thing to induce him to believe he had been cheated, ho put his back against the door of the room and refused to allow the defendant to leave until he called the police. The de fendant then seized the complainant by the throat, an d dragged him from the door and left the house, and that was the'assault complained of. The stakeholder said if he did not finish the game he should hand over the stakes to th• defendant, and he did so. He then went to the Vine-street station and saw Inspector Webb, who now proved that he had at the time marks on his face and• throat. Mr. Lewis cross-examined the complainant, who said he was in the habit of playing at cards and going to betting houses, and mixing with betting men—that he had been a lawyers's clerk, and had acquired same property, but not by betting. Mr. Lewis addressed the magistrate at some length, and contended that the assault had boon committed in the first instaneo by the complainant, who had made a prisoner of the defendant in the room ; and that, had the case been brought before him as a common assault, he was sure it was a case the magistrate would not have sent for trial. Mr. Bingham said he thought a jury should decide it, there being a justification pleaded. _ _ The defendant was then committed for trial at the next Westminster Sessions, bail in the sum of £lOO being taken. His Highness the Maharajah D:iuleep Singh has left Claridge's Hotel for Windsor Castle, on a visit to her Majesty. The Duke of Rutland returned to Belvoir Castle yesterday, from London. Lady Keane and Lady Pigot will arrive at the Castle to -day, on a visit to the noble duke. The Duke and Duchess of Marlborough, accom panied by the Marquis of Blandford and family, arrived in St. James's-square on Tuesday afternoon, from Blenheim Palace. A PARISIAN LANDLADY.—Madams eats little, but she is a delicate feeder, and she and I perfectly agree on ono point—we both love a change dearly. The same dish never appears twice in the same week, except by par ticular desire. Women are very observing. Madame pro bably saw, from my habits of life, that my finances were not very flourishing ; and when she gave me my bill at the end of the month I was almost ashamed to pay it. There were several things to be learned in the kitchen. I saw how Blot made a potage au gras, and a maigre, a puree of vegetables, a vol au vent, and, above all, a salad. I also learned how, with a handful of coals or charcoal, and a four neau or range 40 inches long and 34 wide, a dinner could be served hot and fresh for a party of eight. The fuel consumed in this kitchen in a year would not keep going the kitchen of an hotel of the same size in England for one week.—Once a Week. FOREIGN RAILWAYS.
