The, present state of the .lave trade, and the Abortive nature of the attempts made to suppress it, occasioned another discussion in the House of Commons last night. It could not be denied that there was still an unholy traffic in human flesh ; that, notwithstanding the unremitting exertions of Great Britain during a series of years, the sums she has so liberally paid as a species of " black-mail," and the still larger amounts ex pended in acting on and bringing into operation the rights she has purchased at such exorbitant prices, —there is still an organised trade, in which large capitals are regularly engaged, and immense profits realised. This is a truly deplorable state of affairs ; and so long as the United States per sists ia what we cannot help considering the most ungraceful enforcement of unques tionable rights—so long as she ' permits her flag to be degraded by making it a cover, whether iightfully or wrongfully used, for all the abominations of the atrocious traffic-- so long as she refuses to tolerate the verification of the national standard, lest some slight inconve nience might be sustained by some Yankee ship- master, and refuses to establish an adequate maritime police, to do herself what, in the true "dog-in-the -manger" spirit, she declines to have done for her—so long will these infamous trail.. actions take place, and outrages that make the b)ood run cold, be perpetrated. We feel, deeply feel, the full extent and magnitude of the existing evils—acknowledge that the results cannot be rc garded as fair equivalents for the sacrifices, pecu niary and otherwise, that we have willingly sub mitted to. But, are we on that account to inaugurate a retrograde policy ? Are we to relax the exertions we have hitherto made, and which, if persevered in, and increased to an adequate degree, may eventually be blessed with the success they so eminently merit ? Far from it. GOD forbid that England should submit to so deep a degradation, or withdraw a single one of the impediments which she has heretofore Interposed in the way of the horrible cruelties, hateful in the sight of GOD and man. Mr. BUTT alluded to the necessity, notwith standing the extraordinary moans for the pre vention of smuggling that existed, of abandon ng high, we might almost say prohibitory, duties on such articles as spirits and tobacco. But although smuggling existed, although we could never completely put down the illicit trade in these highly taxed commodities, was it not restricted and dwarfed by our efforts ? " The Customs" duties still produce more than 20,000,0001. sterling per annum. What would they realise if, in obedience to arguments similar I to those last night pnt forward by Mr. HUTT, and those who divided with him iu the attempt to embarrass the Government, in the efforts which they may yet make to get rid of the flagrant iniquity ? We should strengthen our coast-guard and revenue police. The illustration from the Customs was in many respects a good one. It proved the necessity of directing our labours in another direction, of re ducing the temptation of the dealers " in sable ware," as it has been termed, by cutting off their markets. We have purchased the right from Spain to demand its willing co-operation. We need not refer to the exertions made on sundry occasions, in the interests, we shall not say of Spain, but of its pre sent dynasty. We shall not refer to the gallant deeds of the Iron Duke in the Peninsula, or of the more recent efforts of Sir Da LACY Everts and his Legion. Such small matters have of course been long since forgotten. A Spanish Act of Limitation has been enacted, anni hilating such small claims. But we have paid 400,0001. hard cash for a substantial treaty, and we are entitled to the full extent of the privi leges thus dearly purchased. The claims of the almighty dollar cannot be ignored with impunity, and we may justly demand the active co-opera tion which we have bought and she has sold. The mere suggestion has created an extraordi nary sensation at Madrid. There has been " a storm in a washing tub," and we are gravely in formed that full explanations will be demanded from this country, and threatened with condign punishment if we object to devour the leek pre pared by Spanish bands. The British Lion must, indeed, be deemed to have been completely paralysed when the armed heels of the Spanish donkey are thus made to threaten his head. We trust that Spain may demand redress. It will be met by a counter claim, and it requires no extraordinary power of vaticination to predict the result. No efforts on our part will be necessary. It will suffice to withdraw the shield which we have hitherto ex tended over Cuba. We are told that " a hint in tender cases is enough," and so it would be to the Cabinet of Washington, that we bequeathed Cuba to their tender mercies. They would speedily deal with the Spaniards as ST. PATRIeIi did with the Irish reptiles, viz. : "Make them wise, and open their eyes To a sense of their situation." It is satisfactory to find that there are reason able hopes that the Government of the United States will be prepared to co-operate with the Bri tish, to prevent the abuses that must inevitably arise from the indiscriminate and unauthorised adoption of their flag. It was but yesterday morning that a despatch was received at the Fc reign-office from Lord NAPIER, in which he wrote : " General CASs stated to me that the course taken by her MAJESTY'S Government was worthy of a great and generous country—of one whose unquestioned power and promptitude to repel aggression were accompanied by the disposition to recognise an error and redress an injury, if inconsiderately committed. He assured me emphatically that after the satisfactory declaration that had been made by her MAJESTY'S Govern ment, the Government of the United States would give their attentive consideration to any proposal which her MAJESTY'S Government might suggest for the verification of the nationality of vessels and their right to the flag which they displayed." We now hear that the United States' vessels "despatched to the Cuban waters had been fur nished with the usual instructions issued to the vessels employed on the coast of Africa"—in other words, that we shall receive American aid and co-operation. Under such circumstances it would be a thousand pities if we aban doned a policy adopted from no sordid motive, and which we have heretofore maintained solely with the view of vindicating the rights of humanity, and promoting Christian civilisation. Let us rather redouble our efforts, and, by a display of extraordinary vigour and energy, establish a really effectual blockade on the Cuban coast, and inflict a heavy blow and great discouragement on the nefarious traffic. For Lord STANLEY has been reserved the honour of leading the Conservatives to unequivo cal victories. In the Lords they have their own way ; and the largest majorities there are neither felt as defeats by the Liberals, nor as triumphs by the Conservatives. No loud cheers follow the announcement of majorities there, either outside the house or in it. The House of Commons is the place where the battles of the country are fought, where Ministries are installed and ousted, and where politicians count anxiously the votes. Happily this is Lord STANLEY'S sphere, and long may it be so. We remember Lord DERBY was 1 satirically congratulated, by a Noble Lord, who probably hardly thought his satire would so soon prove to be sober truth, on his having a son in whose hands he could with confidence place such a weighty trust as that of the Home Government of India. The event has shown that the Premier's confidence had nothing of nepotism in it. At the time none of his appointments gave us greater pleasure, and we believe none has done more to gain the goodwill of the independent Liberal party. Lord ELLENBOROUGH, great as his abili ties are, is not a Ministerial loss. He is too plainly not the man to work in co-operation with others, and, apart from India, his political prin ciples are not just those most wanted to strengthen a Cabinet with the country. The change, too, which placed the Indian Minister in the House of Commons, and gave Sir E. B. LYTTON a place in a Conservative cabinet was every way advanta geous to it. Lord DERBY must not, perhaps does not wish to, conceal from himself the fact that his Cabinet owes its position at the close of the session, pro bably owes its existence to the close, to the Liberal part of it. The nation would not have endured for a month a band of old thoroughgoing Tories, although some of them might speak as well as himself and Lord ELLENBOROUGH. The Chancellor of the Exchequer was well known to be a Tory by accident only, and no one believed that he was a supporter of an antiquated policy except from party necessity ; while Lord STANLEY, Sir JOHN PAKINOTON, and Mr. WALPOLE were known to be more sincerely liberal, under the opposite party name, than half the members of the PALMERSTON Cabipet. It is undeniable that the standing of such Ministers with the House and in the country, combined with the just revulsion of the truly Liberal party from the leadership of mock Liberals, has enabled Lord DERBY to close this session very differently to that of 1852. He has not now to go to the country on a false issue, or indeed on any issue at all. He is " master of the situation." He has till next year to consider his policy and to shape his plane, and if he does n o t b y t h at time diseein what the people desire, and make up his mind to gratify them, he will have only himself to blame. The Whigs have fallen because they became more obstructive than Tories, and Tories will fall if they, too, descend to the policy of cajoling or opposing the people. There can be no doubt that the feats of Lord STANLEY in battle with the two Wbig Lords have materially strengthened the Cabinet and proportionately depressed the Chesham-house and the Cambridge-house cliques. His victories were won so easily ; neither could it be said that they were gained by subserviency to the Radicals ; for, Mr. BRIGHT, while thoroughly friendly to the Noble Lord, and preferring him as Indian Minister probably to any man in the House, yet honestly spoke against such clauses as he disap proved. No enemy of either can pretend that the course of the Hon. Member for Birmingham has not been honourably independent on the India Bill ; yet Lord STANLEY carried every clause which he desired to carry, candidly accepted whatever he thought a real improvement, and took his India Bid through the house, notwithstanding almost frantic hostile divisions by the Whigs, like a young Parliamentary HAVELOCK. To make the analogy even more complete, Mr. DISRAELI, though first in command, surrendered to him the work which seemed to fall to the Indian Minister, and on Indian business gladly acted as second in command. Probably to none was it a greater relief to have the Indian Minister in the Commons than to Mr. DISRAYLI. As our readers know, we are far enough from thinking any of the India Bills what they should be ; perhaps, however, the one carried was the best obtainable under all the circumstances ; and we confess that it has been to us a high gratification to see Lord STANLEY com pletely victorious in a task so new to him as that of leading the House on the greatest question by far of the session. It must be confessed that the India Bill vic tories were in some respects more remarkable than the defeat of the CARDWELL motion. Mr. Dis- RAELI played his part, indeed, as leader, most cleverly. Delay was the only thing wanted to defeat the motion, and he very adroitly pro tracted the discussion till the welcome arrival of Sir JAMES OUTRAM'S letter. But Lord STANLEY had to fight the two old Statesmen of more than double his age, not on a party motion, but on a question of substantial legislation, and the young DAVID, who bad never had such work before, fought the two veteran Whig Goliaths with as much composure and success as if he had been a man of such war from his youth. To whatever other causes this was owing, we think it cannot be doubted that one was the readiness of the • House, generally, to be led by Lord STANLEY. The Tories cannot well repudiate him ; the better part of them follow him even gladly ; while a large number of the Liberals have very great con fidence in his righlmindedness and candour. They willingly make allowances for his position, and think his genuine Liberal bias more trustworthy than the used up Liberalism of their old leaders. Surely, Lord DERBY might take the hint, and prepare for next year, under the guidance of his son and the Liberal part of his Cabinet, and not under the inspiration of the HENLEYS and the THESIGERS. If he sees fit now, as in 1852, to immolate himself on the altar of old Toryism, why, of course, he must please himself ; but, if he has the good sense to look upon all that sort of thing as something which has had its day, and to keep in office to carry measures which will be carried soon, either by him or others, why then there is a fair field for him in which, with such coadjutors as his own son, he has as fair a chance as any other of the Premier class. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT- GARDEN. The performances last evening —the last grand extra night but one—attracted the most crowded and fashionable audience of the season. The opera presented was Auber's celebrated "Fra Diavolo,' in wl ich Madame Bosio, Signor Gardoni, Signor Ranconi, and M. Zelger, sustained the principal parts. The ability of these celebrated artistes is too well known to need further remark than that they each sustained their respective parts with their usual taste, and renewed all their former triumphs. The incidental ballet in the third act was much applauded, the poses of Ivladlle. Zena, being of the most fascinating and elegant description imaginable. To-night Flotow's sparkling opera, " Martha," is to be represented, with Madame Bosio, Madile. Didi6e, and Mario. THE CHRISTY MINSTRELS. This inimitable troupe of melodists in a short time quit London, in order to fulfil a great num ber of pressing provincial engagements ; therefore, those who have not yet devoted an evening to this entertainment must embrace the present opportu nity of visiting the Polygraphic Hal!, in King William-street, Strand. To those who have not yet heard the Caristy 'Minstrels, there remains a treat of the richest and rarest description. The entertainment abounds with melody, in the strictest meaning of the term, and an immense quantity of mirth-stirring peculiarities. Nothing cin be more humorously absurd than the burlesque of the circus, originated, without doubt,. by the great success which has at tended the performances at the Alhambra Palace, Leicester-square. The minstrels have, however, in, the most amusing manner imaginable thrown into parody all the evolutions of the arena ; they balance each other, throw mock soinmersaults, turn globes, and, finally, the darkies wind up with " a walk oa the ceiling." The laughter provoked by the performances each evening of its represen tation is immense, and we feel convinced, did their engagements permit of their permanent stay in London, their entertainment would invariably attract crowded and delighted audiences. Yesterday the usual Monday morning perform ance took place at the St. James's Music-hall, and was attended by a b r illi an t an d f as hionable audience, who appeared to enjoy the entertainment most heartily. His Excellency the Hanoverian Minister has left the residence of the Legation in Grosvenor-place for Carls bad. The Duchess of Satherland is expected to leave Staf ford House to-day to join the noble duke at Trentham. We are happy to learn Lird Albert Leveson Gower has quite recovered from his late illness. The Royal Charter, with 4 05,3281. in gold and sove reigns from Australia, has now been 92 days at sea., The letters from. China by the present mail are ex pected to be delivered on Thursday, and the tea sales which had been fixed for Wednesday have been post poned to that day. The telegrams from India and Chinn `show no altera tion in the rates of exchange, hut the tendency, especi• ally at Hong Kong, still seems towards a decline, and consequently in favour of England. The exports of tea to date are stated at 73,000,0011 b., showing shipments to the extent of 5,000,0001 b. since the departure of the previous fortnightly mail. Those of silk to date had amounted to 67,000 bales. The last advices from this side received at Hong Kong were of April 9. THE MAILS, &C.—SOUTHAMPTON, July 12.—Tho steam ship Cambria, Capt. Anderson, sailed hence to-day for Malta and Alexandria, with the Australian and New Z'..abind mails, 10 passengers, 501. in specie, jewellery value 5,2001., and miscellaneous cargo. The Peninsular and Oriental Comp iny's steamer Sultan, Capt. N. Cook, left un Saturday with the Bombay mails, 28 passengers, and general cal go, but she took ao specie. The steam. ships Vanderbilt, Capt. Lefevre, and Saxonia, Captain Ehlers, are expected on Tuesday from Now York. The Northern Light, Captain Tinkelpaugb, leaves on Wed nesday, with the German, French, and English mails, for the United States. The Alhambra, Capt. Steward, is due on Wednesday with the Peninsular mails, and is appointed to take out the return ma!ls on Saturday. The Magdalena, Captain Abbott, with the West India and Pacific melts, is .due o❑ Friday ; and the next outward mails for the same quarter will be taken by the Orinoco, Captain Bayntun, on Saturday, the 17th inst. ST. BABNABAS, PIIILICO.—We have good reason to believe—though the official announcement has not yet been promulgated—that the Archbishop of Canterbury has confirmed the decision of the Bishop of London as to the revocation of the licence of the Rev. Alfred Poole, :TAB SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, J ULY 13, 1858. LATEST NEWS. THE CALCUTTA, CHINA, AND MAURITIUS MAILS. The Peninsular and Oriental Steam Company have received the following despatch from Mar seilles this (Tuesday) morning : " The steam-ship Vectis, with the Calcutta, China, and Mauritius mails, arrived at Marseilles at 8 this morning. " The mails leave for London at 10 a.m. " The ship will be in quarantine until Thursday. AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING. The telegraph from Hurst announces that the steam•ship Vanderbilt, from New York, passed that station at 10.15. She brings advices to the 3d inst. A telegraphic despatch from Copenhagen states that no fresh modifications will take place for the present in the Danish Cabinet. Mr. Krieger, Minister of the Interior, is charged provisionally with the vacant Department of Finance. The Gazetta Militare of Turin mentions a ru. mour to the effect that the Neapolitan Government has, through the intervention of the British am bassador, offered Messrs. Rubattino and Co., of Genoa, au indemnity of 100,000 fr. for the deten tion of the Cagliari and her crew, and that the said company has refused the sum as being insufficient. FRANCE. PARIS, MONDAY. Prince Napoleon left Paris on Sunday morning for Limogeg, where he was to arrive at about four o'clock in the afternoon. H.I.H. was accompa nied by M. Rouher, Minister of Agriculture, Com merce, and Public Works. " We have received," says the Independance of Brussels, " the following letter from Prince. Pierre Napoleon Bonaparte, dated Auteuil, 9th :—" I communicated to you my letter to General do Heischmann begging you to insert it in the Inde pendance, of which I am one of the oldest sub scribers. I should have been very grateful to you for that insertion. Your Paris letter of to-day speaks in very incorrect terms of my communica tion to M. de Heischmann. The book written by that German officer does not contain any letter from King Joseph insulting to his brother Lucien ; but it attributes to Joseph remarks absurd in them selves and insulting to Lucien. It is, moreover, filled with calumnies both against my father and against other members of my family. My letter, as you must have been able to judge, is one of those which require a serious reparation, and I insist that you publish it. I moreover rely on your impartiality to grant me at least the insertion of this letter, which is a rectification of a passage in your Paris correspondence. Accept, &c. " PIERRE NAPOLEON BONAPARTE." The Prince sent us, in fact, two days ago, the copy of a letter addressed by him to General de Heischmann, Aide-de-Camp to the King of Wurtemberg ; but the warmth of the expres sion in it appeared and still appears to us an obstacle to its publication in our columns. The Patric contains the following :—" This new visit to France of Queen Victoria will be regarded as a brilliant proof of the alliance which unites the two nations, and which has been considered by public opinion as menaced for a moment by recent events. This visit will calm the mistrust excited on the other side of the Channel by the irresponsible provocations of a certain portion of the press ; and, by proving the chimerical nature of these fears, will restore confidence. It is not to conclude a fresh al liance that the Queen of England will visit Cher bourg ; her presence there will be a proof of the solidity of the alliance which exists, and which is necessary, not only to the interests of both nations, but to the repose and prosperity of all Europe." A medal will be struck at the French Mint com memorative of the visit of the Queen of England to Cherbourg. The electric telegraph is henceforth to be substi tuted for the ordinary telegraphic signals along the French coast, and which date from the time of Colbert. A telegram from Caen announces that the pri• soners condemned to death at the assizes of tha . town have appealed against their sentence.

The document concludes as fol lows :—" The Holy Father said to me yesterday at St. Paul's :—' My dear General, the Emperor has said : The Empire is peace. lam happy to say that the presence of the two armies in Rome is the guarantee of peace !' These words of the Sovereign Pontiff are a testimony of confidence ; it our duty to justify it; we must all co-operate towards this object, and 1 am convinced we shall." SPAIN. The Madrid j , ,urnals of the Bth have reached us. The Espana, in an article on the slave trade at Cuba, e r expresses pistol st regret that in hnci, i a i ocay the tai arn ilabiyitehxrpopreys's' ingsoefach of the Spanish English vessel English cru i s ers, and it mak es some sharp com ments as regards the slave the fear that the present Cabinet, like those th a t h av e preceded trade. °lk " I B t t.it concludes ish i it, will not duly defend the honour of Spain in this matter. "In au extraordinary Cabinet Coun cil held in presence of the Queen," says the Espana, " the note by which the Spanish Ministry will de mand explanations from the English Cabinet, re lative to the offensive language employed by Lord Malmesbury towards Spain, was read. That this note shall possess ail the dignity and energy which became a nation of such glorious antece dents as ours, is required by the gratuitous and unjust nature of the accusation, and by the dignity of the Spanish name." According to the Espana, the decree for the dissolution of the Cortes is to appear on the 19th Aug. The new elections are to take place on Nov. 1; and the Parliament is to meet on Nov. 19. Marshal O'Donnell had resolved on making various important reforms in the War Department. The Queen had accepted Count de Punourostro's resignation of his post at Court, and Count de Balazote was spoken of as his successor. A decree nominating'new,senators was expected to be published before the Queen's departure for the Asturias. The budget of the isle of Cuba for next year presents a surplus of 100,000,000 rears. We bear that all proceedings in the action brought by Mr. Hughes against Lady Dinorben have been stayed, in order to give ber ladphip an opportunity of applying to the Court of Qaeen's &nab in November next for a new trial. SHADE WITH INDIJ.—We are Enabled to state that the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Navigation Company have just concluded an %arrangement under which shippers of cargo, &0., by their steamers from the ports of India and China may, by the payment of an addi tional rate of freight erisivalent to the cost of insuring the value of their shipments, be guaranteed against all the risks usually taken by unwritere, in addi• tion to those to which the company are liable as !shipowners. The- company have been lud to adopt this course for their own protection, as well as for the interests of tie numerous shippers by their vessels, owing to the manner in which the liability on goods insured at the local offices has been thrown upon the company in the few cases in which claims have arisen from casualties to their steamers—casualties which have been singularly few, when the magnitude of their opera tions is taken into account. We understand that in giving effect to this system the company incur no addi tional risk, inasmuch as they folly protect themselves by means of a modification and extension of the arrange ments which have existed for some years past between them and some of the leading insurance-offices of Lon don, who have settled promptly in all cases, even in those which the local offices have litigated with the company. THE ATLANTIC TELEGBAPR. QUEENSTOWN, MONDAY, JULY 12. The Agamemnon arrived here this morning at 12.30, having left the rendezvous in the centre of the Atlantic on the 6th inst. On the voyage out with the other vessels of the squadron a succession of tremendous south-westerly gales was encountered, which scattered all the ships for some days. During this time the very heavy and unequal load on board the Agamemnon made her condition one of danger. At one time, indeed, the storm was so violent that the chances were strongly in favour of her going to the bottom with all on board. The worst storm was during the 20th and 21st of June, when the Agamemnon rolled so heavily and dangerously as in her then trim to lead to serious fears that the masts would go overboard, or that she would capsize completely and founder. In these heavy lurches the coals which were stowed in the main and lower decks broke away, and seriously injured several of the crew. The electric instruments were all injured. The _main coal in the bottom of the hold shifted. The deck boats got adrift. The iron screw guard was wrenched in. two, and the waste steam pipe between the boilers broken, all by the heavy rolling. Twice, after every effort had been made to ease the ship, which was much hampered by the upper deck coil of 236 tons forward, it was found neces sary to run before the wind, so that it was oily on the 25th of June that the rendezvous was made, and the other vessels of the squadron sighted. The first splice was made on the 26th, and was broken an hour afterwards on board the Niagara, after three miles bad been paid out from each vessel. The second splice was also made on the 26th, and broke at 4 a.m. on the morning of Thursday, the 27th, parting apparently at the bottom of the sea, after some miles had been made The third and last splice parted at 10.30 p.m. on the night of the 29th, about six fathoms below the stern of the Agamemnon, after 146 miles had been paid out of that vessel. The cause of the last fracture is not known, as the strain of the wire was only 2,2001 b. After this the Agamemnon returned to the ren dezvous, and cruized for five days, during which she met with sufficient bad weather to prove that the removal of the upper deck coil had almost re stored her to her trim, and certainly rendered her buoyant on a sea. Unfortunately, the Niagara did not return to the rendezvous, so that the only fine weather which the expedition had was totally lost, and the Aga memnon had to proceed to Queenstown. There are still 2,500 miles of w re on board the two ships. It is intended to fill up with coal and fresh provisions and start for a final attempt on Sa turday next. SALE OF POISONS BILL-MEETING OF THE PHARMACEUTICAL SOCIETY. yesterday a public meeting of the members of this society was held in the board-room of the institution, Bloomsbury-square, to consider what steps should be taken in reference to the Sale of Poisons Bill, which has passed through the House of Lords. There was a very large assemblage of members, many from various parts of the kingdom. Mr. JACOB BELL was unanimously called to the chair, and having opened the proceedings, and stated the objections to the bill. Mr. COTTON moved the following resolution : " That this meeting having fully considered the provisions of the Sale of Poisons Bill, is decidedly of opinion that in its present form it is not calcu lated to afford the desired security to the public ; while it would be in its operation injurious and oppieesive pharmaceutical chemists, and chemists and druggists generally, and would occasion great inconvenience to all classes of the community.". Mr. WATTS, of Brompton, seconded the resolu tion. Mr. RAMSF.T, of Ashford, suggested that it was their duty to support the council who had done so much to advance the interests of the members, and recommended that concise particulars of what was required, and their objections to the bill, should be furnished to each member of Parliament who might be requested to take up their cause. Mr. F. GouLn, of Kingston, supported this view of the case. Mr. COLLINGS was of opinion that there was some lurking hopes that the bill might be rendered more palatable, but thought that it should be opposed in toto. (Hear, hear.) Mr. HOOPER thought some of the medical pro fession were at the back of the bill, and objected to the display of any spirit of compromise, as exhibited by_ the council of Edinburgh. Mr. M'FARLANE, of Edinburgh, in a humorous address, defended the council, but accorded with the opinion that there should be no compromise, and said that the education of the profession was the only true safeguard for the public. After some remarks from Mr. Pedler, Mr. Dick enson, Mr. Stanton, of Cambridge, and others, the resolution was put and carried unanimously. Mr. Dickenson moved, and Mr. Collings se conded, a resolution, "That the bill should, by every possible constitutional means, be opposed in the House of Commons, with a view of preventing its becornin law." After some further discussion this was also agreed to, and the following, upon the motion of Mr. Ramsey, was also carried :—" That the petition now read be adopted by this meeting, and that the Right HOD. Sir Benjamin Hall be respectfully requested to present it to the house, and to support its prayer." The petition in accordance with the foregoing was then signe 1, and other resolutions adopted, concluding with thanks to the chairman and coun cil, when the proceedings closed. MR EDOUART AND THE EXETER HALL SERVICES. — The Rev. R. Burgess, B D., prebeedary of St. Paul's Cathedral, and rector. of Upper Chelsea ; the Rev. Capel Molyneux, M.A., minister of Lock Chapel; the Rev. B. Mackenzie, M.A., incumbent of St. James's Church, Upper-Holloway and the other gentlemen who were to conduct the Exeter Hall services, have been served with a formal protest signed by the Rev. A. G. Edouart, M.A., incumbent of St. Michael's Church, Burleigh street warn ing them against proceeding with th e ter vices in Exeter-ball, which is within the ecclesi as ti ca l district over which he bas supervision, pointing out to them that the services so c inducted are illegal without his sanction, and threatening legal steps against them if they continue to act in violation of the law. O o a firmer occasion the committee for conducting the ser vices abandoned them when Mr. Edouart protested and threatened them with the terrors of the ecclesiastical law, n otwithstanding the assent of the Bishop of Lan don, which had been previously obtained. On the present occasion it has been determined to proceed with them, so that in the event of Mr. Eiouart persistin g in his legal opposition, the question may be decided by the proper authorities whether such services are really op posed to the law of the Church. Mr..Molyneux will preach next Sunday evening. The CoNFEssrovar, IN BELGRAVIA.—An open-air demonstration of the Protestant inhabitants of Belgravia was held last evening in the grounds of the Pavilion, .., Sloane-street. The Hon. C. S. Vereker, m p took the chair. The Rev. C. Nevin opened the proceedings by offering prayer, chiefly for the support of the Church of England as established by law. The meeting was then addressed by the chairman, who gave a history of the struggles made iu the locality against the Roman Catholic practices which had been attempted to be introduced into the Church of England. He begged the meet iug to remember the starting and frightful disclosures of the confessional which had been made at the great meeting in Sr. James's Hall. He then read some of the correspondence between the Bishop of London and the Rev. Alfred Poole to prove that the latter gentleman acknowledged that ho practised the confessional in some form or other. The chairman next said that they had come to this crisis in the Church of England—they must take some decisive step to put an end to the pro ceedings of the Tractarians. Mr. Edward Harper, in a speech of great length, in which he inveighed strongly against the doctrines and conduct of the Puseyites, proposed that a memorial be pre sented to the Queen to interpose her royal authority for the suppression of the practice of auricular coniessioo, penance, and priestly absolution. The resolution was seconded by Mr. Paul Fosket, and supported by Mr. C. Westerton. The latter gentleman sa id t h at h e fi rm ly believed the immense numbers of persons assembled were there for the purpose of beginning a new Reformao tioe, for Et 3 the Peseyite party contended that the con fessional was part and parcel of the Church of England, they (the people) must make a stand against it, or it would become Ho They must remember that the Prayer-book which allowed tho confessional was published 300 years ago, and was framed to suit the exigencies and circumstances of a people just emerged from Popery. Now they were far too enlightened to be led back into the serfdom of priesthood. These re marks were received with loud applause by the multi tude, who cheered loudly and waved their hats and handkerchiefs in passing the resolution. The same unanimity and enthusiasm were displayed in the passing of the second resolution (moved by Mr. James Beal and seconded by Mr. I'. D. Berry), for presenting a petition to both Houses of Parliament against the practice of the confessional. A formal vote of thanks to the chair • - man terminated the proceedi ngs. A MUSICAL CAT.—A few mornings ago the wife of a trade:;man in Bridge•street arose at NiX o'clock, and was rather surprised to hear the notes of a pianoforte. She proceeded to the sitting-room, but found DO pianist there. The housewife had scarcely left the room ere the playing again commenced, and was even louder than before. She most c3-utiqusly retraced her steps, and, p e eping through the half-opened door, to her great astonishment beheld the cat (apparently much pleased) gracefully striking the notes of the piano with his fore aws , his hind legs rest ing on a chair in front o f th e i us p t rum ent.--Notanyltam Journal. -- COIVSERVATIPE LAND SOCIETY. The twenty-third quarterly meeting of the share holders in this society was held this day, at the officeo, 33, Norfolk-street, Strand. Lord RANELA.GH, chairman of the board of directors, presided. The following report was agreed to unanimously : " The Executive Committee, in presenting their Twenty-third Quarterly Report, have the pleasure to draw the attention of the Members of the Conservative Land Society to the following satisfactory returns up to the Midsummer quarter : Sharesin Shares pr ----ess. completed ----- --- --,.

Total sale of land during the above period, 214,8921. Bs. sd. The returns of the register of order of rights are as follow : — Completed, 2,892; drawn, . 2,894; seniority, 1,507 ; total, 7,293 ; deduct rights exercised on estates, budding advances, &a., 4,521 ; unexercised rights, 2,772. The last share number on the register by seniority, after the drawing on Tuesday, July 13, 1858, will be about 8,685 ; and the last share taken up to the 24th of June was No. 14,212. The new estates offered to the holders of rights of choice were, the Winchester, on the 29th of April ; the Prest wich Property, near Manchester, and seven choice plots on the second portion of the St. Margaret's estate, on the 24th of J une . Al t h ough the amount of land die= posed of during the quarter has been a fair average on the whole, the committee were disappointed in their expectations as to the result of these allotments, inas much as more attractive sites and eligible for building purposes than those at Prestwich and Winchester, have not been submitted to the shareholders. The register of rights having been gone through, the unta.ken plots have been tendered in the usual manner to the public at large ; and latterly, owing to the zeal and activity of the local agents, a demand has sprung up for the Winchester estate quite justified by its intrinsic value and attrac tions, but which has doubtless been increased by the appropriation of four plots •to the erection of a new church, and the taking of the adjoining plot for a parsonage house. It is to the Rev. Canon Carus of Winchester Cathedral, that the highest credit is due for this proposed addition to the sacred edifices in the arish of St. Faith ; the Bishop having kindly sanctioned and aided the good work by assigning a district. A public meeting Wafs held at Winchester on April 21, which was well attended, and the explanations at which contributed to the suc cessful results now attending the sale of the estate. The committee having resolved not to convene a meeting al Manchester until the holders of rights of choice on the register bad the opportunity of exercising their privilege, have been requested to send down a deputation, to ex plain the general working of Land Societies, and the mode of allotment of the Prestwich estate. An agree ment has been entered into by which the committee hope to be enabled to offer for allotment a valuabh piece of building land, adjoining Park terrace and th, terminus of the Great Western and South-Western Rail ways at Weymouth. The opening of the two lines to this favourite watering-place ~f George 111. has not only greatly increased its popularity, but has developed im portant commercial and shipping advantages through the direct intercourse with the Ceannel Islands. The demand for house accommodation is so much on the increase, that every available locality for building pur poses within the town limits has become of extra ordinary value ; and the committee have reason to anticipate that the plots to be presented in due coulee for allotment, will be in demand, especially as Wey mouth has become a naval and military station—larei works being now in progress for the Government. A ce• sire having be -n expressed that some of the unsold plot: on various estate?, should be disposed of in larger quantl ties than those specified in the original plans, so the builders and other persons desirous of erecting houses on an extensive scale, might be afforded the opportunity of acquiring good-sized tracts of land, the committee, in order to carry out this wish, have resolved to offer, in larger portions, the remainder of the Kentish town, Battersea, Reading, and Redhill properties, sub ject to such alterations in the existing conditions as tin cases may require. In their report to the members ot September, 1857, the executive committee stated they had come to the conclusion that the time was approacie ing for a further extension and develolitnent of the busi ness of the society, by making general advances on building, and loans on approved security ; an d i s or d er to afford the committee the necessary power, certain alterations were made in the rules, at the annual meeting last December. The committee having deemed it to ea both prudent and expedient to contract the purchase and allotment of land this year, have not yet undertaken the enlargement of business in other directions ; but unless some decided improvement in the building trades' should manifest itself, the committee feel that they must not trust for the future to land only as a permanent source ot profit. The capital of the members can be adequately turned to advances on every description of security ; but to transact this new business to any extent, it may be found requisite, in addition to the tak ing of money on the general share system, to receive money on deposit accounts, allowing fixed rates of inte rest thereon. The committee have come to the resolution, notwithstanding the low rate of money, of cuntinutng the rate of interest, payable half -yearly on completed shares, and shares in progress paid a year in advance and upwards, at 5 per cent. until the close of the financial year. Members who have taken plots of land on the society's estates must bear in mind that Tuesday, the 20th of Jul is the last day for sending claims fur county votes ; and it is requested that those allottees who have not yet been registered will duly forward to the solicitors the necessary deeds to enable them to sustain their claims at the registration courts. It is desirable that the holders of plots who live at a distance from the county in which their property is situated, should name the polling district at which it will be most convenient for them to vote, and the claims to be entered at the specified polling places will then duly be mad e b y the solicitors. Members whose qualification or residence has been altered in any respect, should lose no time in communica-ing with the society's legal advisers, whose services are effected with out any expense to the individual holder of the plots, the entire charge being borne by the society. The executive committee, in their former reports, have constantly urged the expediency of every Conservative, not possessed of the freehold franchise, qualifying through the speedy and cheap instrumentality of the society, and have never ceased to call attention to the neglected state of the registration in various counties. Now that the Conservative Ad ministration has been installed, and its tenure of office insured for some time to come, the committee cannot but emphatic ally repeat their warning to the general body of Conv.rvatives throughout the country not to neglect the registration, and to urge them to in crease their numbers in the county constituencies. It the Conservative Land Society had received the proper amount of political support since its formation, and the registration bad been properly attended to, several counties might have been saved to the cause, experience having fully proved the good laith of the adottees on the society's estates, nine-tenths of whom have voted, when called upon to exercise the franchise, for the Conserve five candidates." The drawing of shares was then proceeded with, and ;he proceedings terminated with a vote of thanks to the cbarman. THE GOVERNAENT BANKRUPTCY AND INSOLVENCY BlLL.—Owing to the advanced state of the session the Lord Chancellor is unable to introduce the new measure of bankruptcy reform promised in the House of Lords a few evenings since. He has, however, determined that some altirxtion shall be mnde forthwith, and, availing himself of the powers possessed under the p resen t Act, he has prepared a new series of rules and orders, by which the present fees payable to solicitors, official assignee,, accountants, messengers, and brokers in bankruptcy will be greatly reduced. It is expected that these new regulations will be promulgated during the course:of the ' present week. THE POLICE FORCE IN LONDON.-13 inspectors, 19 sergeants, and 23 constabl es o f th e M etropolitan Police rge Force "g a t re ' employed on special duty, 28 policemen have been allowed a sum of money (as detectives) in lieu of the usual police uniform : 7 of these 28 men are em ployed fer the detection of criminals, 1 at the Queen's Palace, 2 at the Peet-office, and 17 in checking the duty on metropolitan stage carriages for the Inland Revenue Department ; 11 constables are'euiployed in the Louden docks, and 120 in Deptford and Woolwich dockyards, at the expense of the Dock Company and the Admiralty and the War Departments. 149 are employed at various public buildings, 12 at museums, 12 at institutions, and 9 at the theatres, all at the cost of the respective de partments, institutions, and proprietors. Only 2 officers are engaged at the Royal Italian Opera, 2 at Astlere, and 1 at each of the metropolitan theatres, ciseontine and tranepontine. Her Majesty's Theatre is guarded by soldiers. 1 policeman suffices to keep order in Kew gardens and Bushy-park, whereas thaAational Gallery employs 5. That disorderly assembly, the House of Commons, requires the services of 31 policemen, whil e the graver and more sober House of Peers is content with 19. The Tower and Greenwich Hospital employs 13 and 14 respectively. SCENE AT SHEERNESS, —" You will hardly credit the following fact," writes a correspondent :—" I was a pat. sender by the Elfin steam-beat from hence to Sheerness, and lauding at Sheerness-pier I noticed a man lying with his face in the mud, I remarked to my wife who was with me what a curious place for that man to be in. She toll me ho was dead, having just been told of it, and on pursuing my inquirir's I found that he was. Now, will you actually btlteve it, but 'here was this poor fellow tied by the. leg to a piece of timber, with a rope about 30 feet long, and would remain there some days waiting a coroner's inquest, so that the body was float ing at high water at.d lying on the mud at low. This was within 30 yards of Sheerness-pier, a small distance off a dozen rcen.of-war, close to a garAison, and I pre sume near a police station. The reason given for the body not being picked up was that no one bad come forward to claim it, and there is no dead house in Sheer ness. I never saw, except in China, so sickening a sight, and s uc h a one as this to t xist in England is a dis grace to any authority." LAW INTELLIGENCE —(This Day.) COURT OF PROBATE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell, Judge Ordinary.) IN THE MATTER OF CAROLINE ANN LINDSAY, DECEASED, ONE OF THE CAWNYORE VICTIMS. Dr. Robertson said this was an application for letters of administration to the next of kin of Caroline Ann Lindsay, formerly of Blackheath, but last of Cawnpore, who died intestate on the 15th July last, one of the victims of the massacre at Cawnpore by the Indian rebels on that lamentable day. It appeared that she was one of the children of the late Major George Lind say and his wife, Catherine Jemima, who, with their other children, also fell victims to the foul massacre. The father and mother, with some brothers and sisters, were massacred on the 12th, and the deceased in question,with r younger sister, were not killed till the general onslaught on the 15th. The death of those parties in the manner described, by the general onslaught and massacre of women and children that took place on the 15th July, was shown by a pencil writing, spotted with blood, found amongst the clothes of the unfortunate victims, as they lay dead upon the floor. The bodies, when dis ,l covered, could not be identified, but there was no doubt they were the parties, and a publication in the supple ment to the Gazette of the massacre of Major Lindsay and his family, left no doubt of the fact. The admitted finding, and contents of the memorandum referred to, was also some evidence of the fact. Major Lindsay, by his will, dated in November, 1849, bequeathed his per- Arne' estate to trustees, to pay the dividend to his wife for life, and after her death in trust for her children, tenants in common, till the sons and daughters ar rived at the age of twenty-one, or in the event of the marriage of the latter, and in the event of death, to the survivors. Catherine Ann Lindsay was the eldest child, and attained the age of 21 in February, 1855, and after the massacre of the father and mother and the other children on the 12th July, the personalty was vested in her at the time of her simultaneous massacre with her younger sister, sixteen years and a half old, on the 15th July. The personalty was valued at 11,0001., and distribution of the same vested in Martin Lindsay, her uncle, applicant, and eight other uncles and aunts, who concurred in the issue of letters of administration to the applicant. His Lordship said there was no reason to believe that the youngest sister had survived Catherine Ann Lindsay, and he would grant the application. Or. Robertson said that unfortunately was the case. Application granted. ROLLS' COURT. (Before Sir John Romilly.) THE LONDON AND NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY V. THE BIRMINGHAM, WARRINGTON, AND STOOKEORT RAILWAY COMPANY. His Honour the Master of the Rolls considered that the plaintiffs had not made out an exclusive right to nee the Chester station ; that this was a right required to be establisned at law ; and, until this was done, they were not entitled to an injunction against the defendants to restrain them from using the Chester station. His Honour stayed further proceedings in this suit until the exclusive right at law to the Chester station was determined ; counsel for the parties consenting to take short notice of trial, and to try the question of legal right at the first Cheshire Assizes on 3d August next, with liberty to apply. The Manchester and Sheffield Company withdrew with costs. HUGHES V. JONES. His Honour the Master of the Rolls observed that this was one of those cases where a person, being proprietor of adjoining property, was desirous to purchase the ad joining property without having the means ready to pay for it, in the hope that the delays of the law, which was too often the else, would give hitu time to pay it. He could not coincide iu these views. He was satisfied that the only question here—if it could be called a question —was one of title ; and directed the usual re ference to the Master as to the title, and reserved the costs of the plaintiff, but gave no costa to the defendant. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET, STEALING A PURSE FROM THE DOWAGER COUNTESS SPENCER'S CARRIAGE.—Jarnes Withers, a brushmaker, residing in Drummond-place, Somers-town, was charged by Henry Joy, 338 A, with stealing a purse containing 41., the property of the Dowager Countess Spencer, from her carriage. Henry Joy, 338 A, said he was in Regent -street on the previous afternoon, when he observed the prisoner looking into the different carriages at the shop doors. He then saw the prisoner go up to the carriage opposite 178, Piccadilly, and ihaving reconnoitred to see Whether the coachman or footman on the box were looking, the prisoner took from a small basket in the carriage the purse in question. He (the prisoner) then ran off, he pursuing him, and on coming up with the prisoner at the corner of Beak-street, he asked him for the purse he bad taken from the carriage. The prisoner said he had thrown it away, but feeling certain he had not, he put his hand into his breast coat pocket and took the purse, which contained four sovereigns, one half sove reign, and some smaller coins, therefrom. Wm. Baxter, footman to the Countess Dowager Spencer, of 27, St. James's-place, said the purse pro duced belonged to the countess. It was in the marriage sate a few minutes previously, and was taken while the countess had gone into a shop. Ile was certain as to the purse, though not to the contents. In answer to Mr. Beadon, the prisoner said he would plead guilty to the charge. Joy said he knew nothing of him, but he might find out if he was remanded. Mr. Beadon said he should send him for six monthe, with hard labour. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE AND A DROP OF DRZIK.--. Catherine Burdzell, a woman of rather dissipated ap pearance, aged`3, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with attempting self - destruction. The prisoner was greatly agitated, and seemed to be in a weakly condition, arising from her immersion in the water and the means used to effect resuscitation. Charles Wilson, a constable in the employ of the West India Dock Company, stated that he was on duty this morning in the import dock and heard a splash in the water, which was followed immediately afterwards by the cry of a woman overboard. Got the drags. He ob tained the grapnel irons and ropes, threw them into the water, and dragged up the prisoner as she was, on the point of sinking ; indeed, she had been down once, He kept her afloat on the surface of the water until a boat was lowered. She was brought on shore in a very insen sible condition, and was put into a warm bath- Friction was also used, and after considerable delay animation was restored. The prisoner had a narrow escape. The water was 20 feet in depth. Mr. Stife—From what place did this woman plange herself into the water ? Wilson—From the bridge over the entrance lock, to which she obtained admission from the street. The prisoner said she was very sorry for what shPa had done. Mr. Selfe—How came you to commit such a rauli and wicked act ? ---- • The prisoner —It was a drop of drink. Mr. Selfe--A drop of drink! It is really sh*cking. A great many females have been brought beffr..e me, cilarged with attempting suicide by drowning, and the excuse in every instance has been a drop of drink. What are you, and where do you come from ? The prisoner —I am a married woman, and live at No. 2, Blacksmith's-place, Back Church,lane, White chapel._ Mr. Selfe—Where is your husband ? Tne prisoner —My husband is at sea. Mr. Selfe—And in his absence you get drunk, and attempt to put an end to your existence. This is' dreadful. The prisoner —I will never do such a thing again . Mr. Selfe—l shall not part with you until inquiries have been made about you. At present I shall ken:land you until Saturday.
