CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Some satisfactory features are exhibited in the Bank of England return completed to the 23d of May. The bullion, owing to the falling off in the demand for the Continent, and the arrivals from Australia and the United States, has been largely augmented, while the increase of notes consequent upon the more easy state of the money market, shows an addition of nearly three quarters of a million. The policy of the directors in reducing the rate of discount is fully warranted by the large reduction in the other securities. The pubiic de posits show a small augmentation, while in the private deposits an increase to a large amount is perceptible. In the other items there is no parti cular variation requiring special notice. Subjoined is an analysis of the balance-sheet : Active Circulation Decrease Bullion ..

A moderate demand for money is reported in the general market, and choice bills are negotiable at 3f, per cent., the bankers and brokers being dis posed to make a slight concession in order to re sume business. The foreign exchanges, yesterday afternoon, exhibited na material variation. About £64,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The steamer Masselia, which leaves to-morrow for Bombay, will take out £5,000 in gold, and £14,650 in silver. In the Liverpool Cotton,,Market yesterday the demand was very inactive, and prices had a down ward tendency. The sales amounted to about 6,000 bales. The official returns relative to trade and naviga tion for the four months ending the 30th of April, 1860, have just been published. From these it ap • pears that the total declared value of the exports from the United Kingdom for the four months was £41,834,347, against £41,851,524, showing an in crease of £17,177 compared with the like period in 1859, the increase is perceptible in beer and ale, ootton manufactures, cotton yarn, and British spirits, while there is a decrease in coals and culm, haberdashery and millinery, hardwares and cutlery, linen manufactures, .machinery and silk manu factures. The importations of the principal articles have been larger as regards cocoa, coffee, raw cotton, fruits, provisions, spices, sugars, tallow, tea, tobacco, wine, and sheeps' and lambs' wool; there was a diminution in live animals, wheat, flour, hemp, raw silk, and timber. The shipping accounts exhibit an increase in the amount of tonnage employed in the foreign trade of the United Kingdom for the four months of 241,227 tons for the entries inwards, and of 81,346 tons for the clearances outwards. In the coasting trade for the four months 273,774 tons more were employed than in the cor responding period of 1859, for the entries inwards and 368,618 tons for the clearances outward. The market for Public Securities has been quiet to-day, and the quotations have not undergone any material variation. At first there was a little heaviness, but the closing quotations showed in creased firmness, Consols being 95 to 951 for money, and 95- 1 for account. The Now 3 per Cents. and the Reduced are steady at 93/1. India Loan re mains at 106/ I; and the Reduced are 96. Ex chequer Bills are 7s. to 9s. prem.

JENNER-JUDGMENT. 6) 61 901 121 His Honour said—ln this case the plaintiff seeks to set aside, or rather asks to renovate a resettlement of a family estate, which gives hint an estate for life instead of an estate tails. The father and son agre'3d to disentail the estate and mortgage it for £lO,OOO to the use of the father, to increase the jointure of his wife from £l,OOO to £1,500, and make provision for his younger children. The plain tiff (the eldest son) alleged that he misunderstood the terms of this agreement, and asked for a reconveyanco of the estate to him in tail. His Honour, on considering the evi dence produced, and the authorities referred to, came to the conclusion that the plaintiff sufficiently understood that his interest in the estate tail was to be reduced to an estate for life, and dismissed the plaintiff's bill with costs, 51 4 10 1 1i 2 15 15 COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. 321 11 2 923 65 8i 81 l 19}1911 38 39 - 8 - 9 P 34 34} 52 54 (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice Keating and a 2 1d 13 15 Si 51 81 194 201 5 91 9 214 224 ,0 Common Jury.) PLEWERS V. WOOD AND ANOTHER. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., and Mr. Pearce were for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. T. Atkinson for the defendants. This .action was brought to recover damages against the contractors for making a sewer at. Hackney, by the plaintiff, a boy of 15, who had fallen into it while in the course of construction. Mr. Sergeant Parry, at the commencement of the case, said that the defendants would give the plain tiff no technical difficulty, as they wished merely to try the question of liability on its merits. On the 12th October, 1858, the plaintiff, who lives with his parents at Stoke Newington, was sent for a loaf of bread betwen 7 and 8 o'clock in the e ening. At the corner of Wellington-street and Hindle-street the defendants' sewer was open, and the plaintiff, in crossing, fell into it. His thigh was broken, and he was for some months in Bartholomew's Hospital. The result has been that the boy's hip-joint has become permanently stiff, and that he is lame for life, one leg being shorter than the other. For the plaintiff it was proved that the sewer was not protected at all, by either rails, lights, or watchers, and that even the earth thrown out had been in a great measure removed. The defence was that the de fondents had been guilty of no negligence, and that the boy had contributed by his own carelessness, in running'along the embankment, to the accident. The evidence was, as is usual in similar cases, extremely contradictory, and the statement that the sewer was unprotected was denied by several witnesses. The jury gave a verdict for plaintiff—damages £BO. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SAVAGE ASSAULT.—James Hayes, 1, Little White lion street, a shoemaker, was brought before Mr. Beadon charged with the following savage assault • Mr. Haycroft, a general dealer, residing in Clement's lane, said the prisoner, who had been drinking, came up to him at the corner of Broad-street, knocked him down with out the slightest provocation, and while on the ground fixed his teeth in his cheek, and "regularly gnawed it." He had never seen the prisoner before, and was wholly at a loss to account for the prisoner's act of cannibalism. [The pro secutor's cheek bore a frightful wound.] James Church, a young man residing at 15, Searle-street, Marylebone, said, while passing the end of Broad-street he saw the prisoner, who wanted to fight some one, pitch on the prosecutor, and they both went down together, and on their getting up the prosecutor's cheek was covered with blood, as was also the prisoner's mouth. Prisoner said he had no recollection of it. Mr. Beadon said it was perfectly extraordinary. Since last year upwards of 40 cases of biting had come before him. He would punish all cases of the kind as severely as he could, and he wished he could inflict hard labour. He should fine him £5, or two months' imprisonment.

TIiMPTATIONS TO STEAL. — EXPOSING GOODS FOR SALE OUTSIDE LINENDRAPERS' SHOPS.--Sarah Ann Wilson, aged 16, and Ellen Sullivan, 18, were brought be fore Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing 30 yards of hucka back towelling, value 135., from the shop door of Messrs. Haddock and Selby, linendraperA, at the corner of Gros venor-street, Commercial-road East. Mr. Francis Haddock said he received information from a neighbour that two girls had stolen a roll of huckaback from the doorway outside the shop, and had gene down Old Church-road, better known as Mud•lane, Stepney. He went in pursuit of them, and overtook them in Mud-lane. One of the girls had the property in her possession, and he gave both into custody. Mi•. Selfe—There have been several cases of stealing goods outside your shop investigated in this curt. "Why do you expose your goods for sale in that way, and tempt people to steal Mr. Haddobk—We have our eyes on the goods, sir. Mr. Selfe—No, you have not, indeed. Your eyes were not on that large roll of huckaback. You did not even know it was stolen until a neighbour informed you. Mr. Haddock--It was in the corner of the door—way. Mr. Selfe—And outside the shop where it ought not to have been. The prisoners said they were guilty of stealing the huck aback. They picked it up on tilt) pavement outside Had dock and Selby's shop. Mr. Selfe—lt was very easy to be carried off. The pro secutors ought to have a watch•boy to look after their goods if they will expose them for sale outside their shops. I convict the prisoners of larceny, and sentence theth to three months' imprisonment and hard labour in the House of Correction. A FIT SUBJECT FOIL A REFORMATORY.—Mary Ann Hutchard, a girl aged 12, was brought before Mr. Solfe charged with robbing her mother of 2s. 7d., which she took off a table in her parent's room, at No. 24, Park-street, Pop lar, on Saturday night last. Mary Ann Hutchard, the mother of the prisoner, who was a state of great affliction, said her daughter was a very bad girl indeed, and had frequently robbed her. The girl stopped away from her home all the week, and was found in very bad company yesterday in Emmett-street, Poplar. The girl had been once imprisoned for felony and sen tenced to hard labour. She implored the magistrate to save her child, and send her to an asylum, if he had the power to do so. Mr. Selfe said he was afraid the girl was wayward and incorrigible, and that the only means of saving her was to send her to a reformatory. The prisoner—Oh don't send me away, and I will be a good girl. _ Mr. Sblfe—You have said that before, and you are not to be trusted. I shall commit you to prison, and to be kept to hard labour for fourteen days ; and afterwards to be de tained in a reformatory school (where you will be taken care of and properly instructed, and I hope be made a good girl) for throe years. Your father must pay 2s. a-week for your maintenance. Parents have to support good children, and they must support 'bad ones, and not leave them a burthen to the State. RACE rum A BULL. Some forty years ago the managers of a racecourse near Brownsville, on the Monongahela, published a notice of a race, one mile heats, on a particular day, for a purse of 100 dole., " free for anythingwith fourlegs and hair on." A man in the neighbourhood named Hays had a bull that he was in the habit of riding to mill with his bag of corn, and he deter mined to enter him for the race. He said nothing about it to any one, but he rode him around the track a number of times on several moonlight nights until the bull had the hang of the ground pretty well, and would keep the right course. He rode with spurs, which the bull considered disagreeable ; so much so that he always bellowed when they were applied to his sides. On the morning of the race Hays came upon the ground on horseback—on his bull. Instead of a saddle, he had dried an ox-hide, the head part of which, with the horns still on, he had placed on the bull's rump. He carried a short tin horn in his hand. He rode .to the judge's stand, and offered. to enter his bull for the race ; but the owners of the horses that were entered objected. Hays appealed to the terms of the no tice.; insisting that his bull had " four legs, and hair on," and that therefore he had a right to ent er him. After a good deal of swearing, the judges declared themselves to be compelled to decide that the bull had the right to run, and was entered accordingly. When the time for airting arrived, the bull and thaliorsos took their places. The horse racers were out of humour at being bothered with the bull, and at the burlesque, which they supposed was intended, but thought that it would be over as soon as the horses started. When the signal was given they did start. Hays gave a blast with his horn, and sunk his spurs into the side of the bull, who bounded on with a terrible bawl, at no trifling speed, the dried ox-hide flap ping up and down and rattling at every jump, making a combination of noises that had never been heard on a race course before. The horses all flew the track, every one seeming to be seised with a sudden determination to take the shortest cut to get out of the Redstone country, and not one of them could be brought back in time to save their distance. The purse was given to Hays. A general row ensued ; but the fun of the thing put the crowd all on the side of the bull. The horse men contended that they were swindled out of their purse, and that if it had not been for Hays' horn and ox-hide, which he ought not to h ave b een permitted to bring - upon the ground, the thing would not have been turned out as it did. Upon this, Hays told them that this bull could beat any of their horses anyhow, and if they would put up a hundred dollars against the purse, he would take off the ox-hide and leave his tin horn, and run a fair race with them. His offer was accepted, and the money staked. They again took their places at the starting post, and the signal was given. Hays gave the bulr another touch with his spur, and the bull gave a tremendous bellow. The horses remembered the dreadful sound, thought all the rest was coming as before. Away they went again, in spite of all the exertions of their riders, while Hays gallopped his bull around the track and won the moaey.—The Weekly Leader (Toronto). STATE OF TRADE. MANCHESTER, MAY 25.—The depression in nearly all kinds of yarns and cloths for India is quite as great as it was on Tuesday, .and in some descriptions p r i ces are weaker. The business doing is very limit e d, an d i n some cases it is hardly su ffi cient fairly to test the strength of the market. The buyers of cloths generally are restricting their purchases, and the aggregate business of the week has been inconsiderable. Home trade buyers of yarns are doing but little, and prices are again rather easier. The same report is given of yarns suitable to tile German market. GENERAL LAMORICIERE. A letter from Pesaro, in the journal Les Nationalites, which was recently removed from Geneva to Turin, states that General Lamoriciere, on reading an article in the Giornale di Roma which related to him, end on receiving a despatch from the Minister of War requesting him not to interfere in the operations of the military admini stration as regards the purchase of equipments, bat to confine himself to the organisation of the army, gave way to a violent fit of anger. lle im mediately wrote to Rome, demanding an explana tion of• what he designated an insult, and said that if satisfaction were not given him, there was no other course left for him than to demand his passports. AUSTRIA A ND THE CONCORDAT. If the Continental Sovereigns are not taught wisdom by the events which aro now passing in Europe, neither would they be persuaded, though one rose from the dead. On every side ancient thrones are tottering, and regal mantles are being draggled in the dust. So far from the legitimacy of a Sovereign's rights being a safeguard to them, it is perhaps a positive disadvantage. The people of Continental Europe seem to be inspired with the belief that nothing good is to be expected from one of the old families. Tho'igh Republicanism is for a time in abeyance, though the principle of Mon archy was never more generally accepted than now, yet it appears to be felt that a new dynasty, or at any rate an old dynasty under newly-conferred powers, is necessary for the good government of a country. The Emperor Napoleon, the Queen of Spain, King Victor Emmanuel, and the King of the Belgians derive positive strength from the fact that they are at feud with the Legitimist party throughout Europe. It will soon be necessary everywhere for a monarch to graduate in his sub jects' esteem by affectinr , a revolutionary origin. Even a Pope might expect to reconcile himself to the Italians if he owed his elevation to the expul sion of his predecessor, and if his election were de nounced by the majority of the Sacred College and the Court of Naples. This being the state of things all over the Con tinent, we would advise those who have thrones to lose to be wise in time. They have a difficult part to play; they labour under the curse of unbroken descent; the blue blood in their veins is as much an obstacle to their endeavours as a dark skin is in New York. Their people are prejudiced against them, and they suspect their relatives and surround ings —all the Archdukes and Duchesses, the Princes and Archbishops, who enjoy the credit of pouring poisonous counsels into Imperial or Royal ears. But they must make up their minds to act, or the revolutionary ear, to use the slang of their own partisans, will roll forward and crush them, the tempest of democracy will sweep them away, to be succeeded dither by some dear friend and brother from a neighbouring State, or by a cadet of their own family, who will have been suddenly converted to Liberalism by the prospect of a crown. Though we might speak with justice to most of the poten tates between the North Sea and the Adriatic, it is Austria that more particularly demands attention. That State is avowedly in a most wretched plight. Caesar might envy a third-rate prince ; the Holy Roman Empire is hardly more formidable than a ' Spanish-American Republic. Spiritual and mili tary tyranny have done their worst, and the result is the degradation of a first-rate Power and the peril of the peace of Europe. It is needless to go through the history of the last 40 years to describe the overthrow of that edifice of misrule which is associated with the name of Metternich The Bureau has had its share in undoing Austria, and so has the barrack, but the most deadly enemy of Francis Joseph has been his own reli gious bigotry, increased to inordinate dimensions by the interested counsels of the Papacy. Austria, according to the old distich, left war to others and gained realms by marriage ; but the contract she has entered into with the successor of St. Peter is too unholy to bring any such advantages. The ruin of her finances, the loss of her richest pro vinces, and of all influence in Italy are to be traced directly to the Concordat—a measure which has given new life to the revolutionary party, by con vincing all men that nothing is to be hoped from the justice of the Government, and that any alle viation of ;,the public grievances must be obtained by force. With an intolerance which amounts almost to madness the Catholic Church, even at this terrible crisis in the Empire's fortunes, has been urging on the work of persecution. By this word we do not mean to imply that men are hanged or burnt, for even in a remote Austrian province the Romish Church is somewhat curtailed in its dearly loved privileges. But there is a prosecution, worrying, insulting, and provoking, which makes life miser able, and deprives men of all that belongs to them as members of the human family, and which yet does not go the length of actual violence. So far as civil disabilities—interference with household arrangements, with marriage, with the education of children, with free movement from place to place, constitute persecution, the Protestant and Jewish subjects of the Austrian Empire are per secuted. To such an extent is this now car ried, and such power have the priests obtained, that it would seem even the Emperor is unable to carry out his good intentions and make those changes which the teachings of experience and misfortune have prompted. There is no doubt that within the last few months the most enlightened men of the empire have seen the ne cessity of making some concessions to the claims of religious freedom. In Hungary the Protestants have been promised a cessation of the chief restric tions under which their creed is placed. How far the people will be contented with such concessions, even if the Romish Church allow them to be accom plished, is more than we can yet say ; but similar justice is hardly likely to be done to the Jews, who number more than a million within the empire of Austria. The political state of these people seems to be as deplorable as that of their brethren in the Roman Ghetto. Galicia is, of course, the principal seat of the Jewish p opu l a ti on, an d here they are subjected to wrongs which hardly have a parallel even in Italy. The higher dignitaries of the Church are the instigators of every outrage, the supporters of every abuse. The Ci v il G overnment i s so f ar an accomplice that it does not restrain the zeal of these reverend persecutors. In the Austrian do minions, as in Prussia, the Jews form a consider able body, and are subjected to much ill-usage from the fanaticism o f th e l ower orders. Th i s fanaticism the priests do their best to inflame. A recent pastoral lette r h as rouse d t h e peasantry of Galicia against the Jews to such an extent that their lives are not safe. Outrages of various kinds have been perpetrated, the mob has risen against Jews who ventured to live in the Christian quarter of towns, and the police has b een una bl e or unw illing to oppose its fury. The priests, improving the Mortara case, have denounced from the altar all Christian servants employed in Jewish families, commanding them to leave immediately, and threatening them with eternal perdition in case of refusal. The Government officials affect to regret the existence of these prejudices, but do nothing to prevent them expressing themselves in open per secutimi. In fact, the temporal authority quails before the power of the priesthood. These doings of the priests are against both the letter and spirit of the Imperial edicts. Strong in their numbers, their union, and the steady support of personages high in rank at Vienna, the Romish priesthood dis regard the orders of the Imperial Chancery ; but to this extent they would not venture unless they were supported by the Concordat, which gives to every Prelate a position outside and above the law. The limits of the Imperial and the clerical autho rity have not been laid down ; but it is understood that there are limits, and that the Emperor's edicts may be disregarded in certain cases by the Church, the Pope, au independent Sovereign, being allowed a share in determining what those cases are. But, if the Jews are subjected to ill-treatment, the Pr otestants are not better off. Indeed, Rome seem% to prefer a Jew to a heretic, and, though the mob can not be raised against Protestants, yet their vex a lions are serious enough, the interference with education being one of the chief. . In short, Francis Joseph has allow ed a power to come into existence in his dominions which he now finds it difficult to control. Alone of the great Sovereigns of Europe he has, with in conceivable folly, permitted the Church to grasp all that a mediaeval Pope could desire. He has fair natural abilities ; there are many men of energy and patriotism whom he might summon to his assistance, and, with the great undeveloped re sources of the Empire and the unwavering loyalty of a large portion of her people, Austria might, as she has so often done, emerge once more from the difficulties which threaten to crush her; but to give her even a prospect of success--to secure for her service honest and capable Ministers, and to enable them to administer efficiently the great depart ments of the State—it is essential that the power of the priestly element should be curtailed ; that there should be no secret influence between the Emperor and his advisers, and that Francis Joseph, and not some emissary from Rome, should be supreme.—Times. PAROCHIAL REFORM-HAMLET OF RATCLIFF A meeting of ratepayers of this hamlet was held this morning at nine &clock, at the Mercers' Arms, Talton street, Stepney, to adopt measures to secure the return of Messrs. Creer, Mayo, Pfeil, Peacock, Sherren,', Stuart, Simpson, Geo. Richardson, and Walton,' the candidates re commended by the Parochial Reform Association, which since its establishment has caused a reduction in the poor rates of this once misgoverned hamlet from Is. 4d. to lid. in the pound, have brought to light delinquencies in a clerk to a local board, thrown openthe Limehouse Board of Works, of which Ratcliff forms a part, and have produced a more equal rating of the large water side properties of the brewers, coal merchants, and manufacturers in the hamlet, whose assessment has been increased from XlOO to £1,300 per annum thereby greatly relieving the small householders and shopkeepers, who were most unfairly assesaed by the self nominated Board of Trustees who yearly nominate their successors. Mr. GEORGE BLYTON, of the firm of Goldsmith and Blyton, a vestryman, presided, and said the election for nine ♦estrymen took place on Tuesday morning last, and that the candidates selected by the association ware pledged to economy and reform, and to the extinction of abuses. The old Tory party had sent out a list which contained, among other names, that of Henry Rollinson, who was already a member of the Board of Trustees and a member of the Board of Guardians, and whose houses let for 9s. per week, are rated at the low figure of £lO 12s. sd. per house per annum ; and who, when chairman of one of the local board!, permitted an officer of that board, who had em bezzled the parish money, to resign his office and declined to prosecute him. Another name on the Tory list was that of Mr. Nathan, who had recently come into the parish of Ratcliff, and who was a vestryman of Limehouse, trustee of Limehouse, a member of the Board of 'Works for the Limehouse district, and a guardian of the poor for Limehouse. The parish of Limehouse and the hamlet of Ratcliff were antagonistic to each other. The Metropolitan Board of 'Works had reapportioned the debt due on the rock loan, and had increased the apportionment of Ratcliff from £989 13s. 2d. to £3,126 12s. Bd. (Shame, shame ) The Limehouse portion of the debt was not increaser - J.— (hear, hear) ; and Mr. Nathan, as member for Limehouse on the District Board of 'Works, had refused to assist the Ratcliff members in their efforts to prevent the enormous increase of the debt due upon the rock loan, and borrowed of the old Commissioners of Sewers for making sowers in the metropolis. The parishioners of Ratcliff ought to pre vent parochial bigamy, and reject Mr. Rollinson and Mr. Nathan, more particularly the latter, who was identified with the parish of Limehouse for many years, and opposed to the interests of Ratcliff. Mr. Hood, Mr. 'Warren, Mr. 7d. Blyton, overseers, Mr. Devovan, churchwarden, Mr. Creer, and others addressed the meeting and said, the old and corrupt Tory party were signally defeated at the election of vestrymen three years ago, and if they were allowed to revive the rates would again increase, and jobbery and corruption again attain the as cendancy. Resolutions pledging the meeting to support the nomination of Messrs. Creer, Mayo, 1, ichardson (a rate payer for 40 years in the hamlet), Simpson, Sharren, Stuart, Peacock, P. Fest, and Walton were unanimously agreed to. The last named gentleman, who is chairman of the Hamlet of Ratcliff Parochial Reform Association, be longs to the firm of Walton and Gowland, Ratcliff-court, shipowners and coal merchants, who have endeared them • selves to all classes of rate payers by their philanthropic exertions in favour of the labouring classes, and particularly in ameliorating the condition of the coil whippers.

The coveys are largo in number aed remarkably strong, affording promise of excellent sport for crack shots on the 12th. In the neighbouring parts in Ayrshire, we believe, there has been some mortality among the grouse, conse quent on the effects of the severe winter; but this will not, affect the sport of the ensuing soason to any appreciable ex. tent. Hares are plentiful in the low lands hereabouts, and there is a good appearance of partridges.—Greenoth Ad_ tvrtieer. . _ SCOTTISH COMMERCE,—A new vein of mineral has been opened up at Burnbrae, on the estate of Sir W. Baillie, awl about a mile to the south east of the ce l e b rated Terbanehill coalfield. The available strata are a seam of parrot or gas coal, two seams of coal of excellent quality for household or steam purposes, and a seam of first class ironstone. The Bathgate Chemical 'Works devoted to the manufacture from Boghead coal of burning and lu bricating oils, paraffin candles, &c., are about to be oonsi derably extended. Last week's ship ments of Scotch pig iron were on a fairly . extensive scale, having been 13,600 tons, as compared with 13,755 tons in the corresponding week of NM IREL AND. CORK, FRIDAY EVENING. AID FOR GARIBALDI. The Charles B. Truitt, which has been lying in our waters for the last five or six months, sailed with a cargo of rifles from Queenstown yesterday morning for Liverpool. She was freighted by the Garibaldi Committee in New York, but having arrived here after the war had terminated, she lay at Queenstown awaiting orders from the States. It is possible that Garibaldi's recent movements have occasioned the vessel's departure. LORD JOHN RUSSELL AND ITALY: The following letter has been received in Glas gow : _ _ _ "Forei g n-office, May 21. " Sir,—Lord John Ru sse ll has desired me to acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 11th inst., communicating to hire the resolutions passed at a public meeting of working men representing the various workshops and districts of the city of Glasgow, held on the Bth inst., and I am to convey his thanks for the opinion expressed by the meet ing, in th e i r secon d resolution,upon the course he has pursued respecting the affairs of Italy. He has sever hesitated to avow that,:.while our interna tional obligations must be very carefully regarded, he cannot forget or disavow those sentiments in favour of liberty which every Englishman must entertain.—l have the honour to be, sir, your obedient servant. " Mr. M. Cullen. " GEO. S. ELLIOT." The following is the second resolution, referrcd o in the above:— " Tbat our profound .gratitude is pre-eminently due to Lord John Russell for his devotion to con stitutional freedom—and especially in this eventful crisis of the Italian struggle for free institutions and national independence ; for his warmly ex pressed sympathy with the oppressed, and Isis manly and dignified bearing towards the oppressors of the Italian people." BANQUET AT TRE 211.4. N SION-HOUSE TO HER MAJESTY'S JUDGES. Last evening the Lord Mayor and the Lady Mayoress entertained her Majesty's Judges in cluding the bar and several members of th e diplo matic body, and officers of the Corporation, at a banquet in the Egyptian Hall of the Mansion house, at which were present—The Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench the Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron and Miss Pollock, Vice-Chancellor Page Wood and Vice-Chancellor Stuart, Mr. Justice and Lady Williams, Mr. Justice and Lady Willes, Mr. Jus tice and Lady Hill ; Mr. Justice and Lady Keat ing, his Highness Prince Golam Mahomed, his Highness Prince Feroze Shah, the Queen's Advo cate and Lady Harding, Admiral Seymour, Lieut.- Gen. and Mrs. Cannon, Admiral Sir G.

Dr. Mortimore and the Misses Mortimore, Mr. Peter Rolt, Dr. Croly, the Lord Mayor's chaplain, and Mr. and Mrs. Adlard. On the removal of the cloth, The LORD MAYOR gave the usual loyal and pa triotic toasts, with suitable prefaces, which were duly honoured, General CANNON and Admiral SEYMOUR respec tively returned thanks for the toasts of the Army and Navy. The LORD MAYOR said he had that evening en joyed the high honour of entertaining her Majes ty's judges, an honour which he considered to be one of the highest which had fallen to his lot since he had arrived at the dignity of the distinguished position which he then occupied. The ability and impartiality with which the judges of the land discharged their important duties was so univer sally known and acknowledged that it was unne cessary for him to introduce his toast with further comment. He therefore begged to give the toast of her " Majesty's Judges," coupled with the name of the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench. Drunk with all the honours and loud cheers. The Lord Chief Justice COCKBURN, in returning thanks, said he was sure he only spoke the common sentiments of all the judges when he expressed his sense of the kindness and attention which they always experienced at the hospitable board of the Chief Magistrate of this great city. It was their anxious wish to discharge the important duties which devolved upon them with the strictest im partiality, and the experience of some years had taught this—that one of the highest incentives to the performance of that duty, and one of the highest rewards, would ever be the approval of their fel low-citizens. (Loud cheers ) The LORD MAYOR next gave, " The Bar of Eng land," coupled with the name of Sir F. Kelly. Sir F. KELLY, in returning thanks, alluded to the bill which had been repeatedly threatened for reforming the Corporation of London, and said he felt confident that at all times when a member of the bar had a seat in the House of Commons, any bill which affected the interests of the citizens of Lon don would be watched by them with the closest attention. (Cheers.) The LORD MAYOR next gave, " The House of Peers and Viscount Sidney," and " The House of Commons and Sir James Duke," when the noble lord and the hon. baronet respectively returned thanks. Viscount SIDNEY then in very complimentary terms proposed " The Health of the Lord 'Mayor," which was drunk w ith a ll t h e h onours and cloud cheers. The LORD MAYOR briefly expressed his acknow ledgments for the high compliment which had been so cordially paid them. Several other toasts followed, and at a late hour the company separated. The dinner, which was supplied by the Messrs. Rymer, comprised the delicacies of the season. The Coldstream Band, conducted by Mr. Godrey, played a variety of airs during the evening. Mr. Toole officiated as toast-master. FROM THE PEASANTRY TO THE PEERAGE.—The author of this novel is a private in the Royal Horse Guards Blue, who by devoting his leisure to study and thought has educated himself, a fact that should draw attention to his book independently of its intrinsic worth. The opening chapters display an intimate knowledge of country life, and there is evidence throughout the tale of the author's expe rience in almost all parts of the world. He has studied the characters of all sorts of people, and most graphically painted them. The story is well and artistically told, and the scenes and characters exhibit all the marks of deep thought and careful observation of men and things, and a clear in sight into the workings of the human heart. The language Is not merely good, but gracefully eloquent, and the novel will raise the author from the ranks of the army to the highest rank as a novelist. EXCESS OF IMPORTS INTO LIVERPOOL.—The un precedented import of cotton in Liverpool and the scarcity of storage •room were the subjects of another discussion at the meeting of the Mersey Docks and Harbour Board tions tp the appropriation of the transit sheds for the yes terday It was again stated that there w e r e legl for the s h t o o r a a l g d e o o tr f e co o t t h to e n w , aarnehdoin'tsewsaast B suggested a d that at ltohwe rentaloar, b e n o t e a r l d , so as to induce persons to convey it to the other side in flats. Mr. Rankin said that, within the next few weeks upwards of 250,000 bales would arrive in the port, and it would bo a great convenience if something could be done to provide room for its storage.

The paper duty on im portation is 14s the cwt. until the 15th August, and " from and after that date, the duties shall be the same as the ex cise duties for the time being on paper of British manufac ture."
