The discussion which took place last evening in the House of Commons in regard to the present con , dition of Ireland was as profoundly interesting, as it was throughout animated and, at moments, even, impassioned. It had about it, moreover, an especial sigAilicatice. ;Clio situation of things in Ireland is no doubt PM and, in conaonabunco of tho Irish THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, MAY 1, 1869. Church Bill, it is more than that, it is singularly dis- appointing. At the same time, it is the wildest ex aggeration to speak of it, as the member for Liver pool did in opening the discussion, as worse than it has ever yet been, as serious, and alarming, and sanguinary beyond all precedent. The calamitous outbreaks which have already taken place are happily as yet confined to two coun ties. The Executive is perfectly awake to the gravity of these occurrences. The Lord-Lieute- nant and the Home Government are in earnest inter communication, with a view to the vindication by the former of the outraged majesty of the law; in a manner the most prompt, impressive, and generally efficacious. As to the seditious language said to have been recently uttered by the Mayor of Cork, while presiding over a local banquet in honour of certain released Fenians, inquiries, as to the accuracy of the report imputing to him the utterance of those remarks, are now being actively made, with a view to the avoidance of the condemnation of that functionary without the concession to him previously of a hearing. There can hardly be any serious doubt as to the de termination of the authorities to deal firmly and re solutely with those who have been guilty of rioting and of agrarian outrages, as well as with those who have, as the Mayor of Cork is said to have done, in cited to disloyalty or eulogized assassination. Be cause Ministers have considered in a remarkable, and it might even be said without exaggeration, in au unprecedented manner their willingness to do justice at last to Ireland by ridding her through the medium of a wonderfully bold and au extraordina rily comprehensive measure of the grievous and cruel burthen of an alien Church—because they have ac companied the introduction of the Irish Church Bill into the Imperial Legislature with an act of signal, and, as many think, of extravagant lenity, meaning that by which the Fenian pri. soners have been very recently released from incarceration—it is not to be supposed for one instant that they are not ready, whenever occur rences prove such a course to be in any way advisable, to deal resolutely with those who most ungratefully return good for evil, by inciting the ignorant members of the Irish population to dis affection, and even, as has been recently seen, to the must base and cruel acts of asussination. It is argue' by some among the Leaders of the Conser vative Opposition that what is wanting now to allay the evil feelings manifested by the disturbers of the public peace in Ireland, is a declaration by the Go vernment of their intentions i❑ regard to the Irish Land Question. A definition of their policy upon that subject, these Chiefs of the Opposition insst,would be moreeffectual than anything else in calming the excite ment now visible in the sister country. Here, again, we cannot but think that there is, quite manifestly, a singular amount of exaggeration. We cannot con ceive for one instant that auy Ministerial statement shadowing forth the drift of the policy of the pre sent Cabinet in the matter of the Irish Land Ques tion, would act at once as a sort of a magical, poli- deal, sedative to an irritated and excited population. Besides, so far as that goes, the drift of the Minis terial policy in regard to the land question in Ire land is already clearly enough foreshadowed. The right honourable gentleman the President of the Board of Trade and, not only Mr. BRIGHT, but the First Minister of the Crown himself, those two lead ing members of the Administration, have before now, time and again, indicated the nature of the remedy they would have applied to the Land grievance in Ire land. They spoke repeatedly on the subject last year, while they were as yet themselves on the side of the Opposition. They each spoke plainly enough during the course of their remarks last evening, in spite of the responsibility of their present positio❑ as occu pants of the Treasury bench. The Premier recalled to remembrance the words uttered by him on this matter of vital import during the last twelvemonth. Mr. BRIGHT went so far, indeed, as c:early to inti mate that when the tune should arrive, not later than next session, to deal with the question in regard to the tenure of land in Ireland, he would be prepared vb ith au efficient and carefully con sidered scheme, by means of which the whole difficulties surrounding that subject could be satisfactorily vanquished. Mr. HARDY seriously in - quires —Who is the Prime Minister, Mr. BRIGHT Or Mr. GLADSTONE ? Lord CLAUD HAMILTON all but designates Mr. BRIGHT the friend of assassins . Mr. M'CULLOCH TORRE NS retaliates by protesting against Lord CLAUD'S imputing thus to a Cabinet Minister motives " the vilest, the most cowardly, and the most treasonable." Mr. BROD RIC K taunts the members for Cork with their silence in regard to the treasonable language imputed to the Mayor of that city, evidently implying that he attaches to the fact of that silence a certai❑ sinister significance. The imputation thus levelled against himself and his colleague, Mr. MAGUIRE indignantly repudiates, complaining, as he does so with some reason, that he who had given so many practical proofs of his abhorrence of Fenianism, ought scarcely to have been called upon in this way to give a public dis claimer of sympathy wilt the instigators to assassi nation. If there is excitement in Ireland, there is excitement also in regard to Irish matters in the House of Commons, the continuance of which, any one might reasinably deprecate. Th e Irish Land Question must be dealt with as promptly, and vigorously, and comprehensively as possible. But it can hardly be dealt with before next year—the Irish Church Bill monopolis'ng the attention of the Le gislature during the present session of Parliament. One thing at a time, is a wholesome axiom enough: and so too, for that matter, that yet older saying of Festina lente. WILL there never be peace in Ireland ? Are treason, rioting, and assassination for ever to be the everyday events of that unhappy country ? Are all our efforts to do justice between race and race, all our desires to shew mercy to misguided men, to count for nothing ? Are we to be forced against our will to govern Ireland by the Suspension Act and by the sword ? Despair drives us to ask these questions when we read the events of the last few days in the sister island. In the course of one week we see two gentle men murdered without a moment's warning; and, as is common in that country, the murderers are probably in safe hiding among people with whom the ruffian shooting stealthily from behind a hedge is a hero. We see two Fenian convicts, whom the Government, as it now appears, with mistaken lenity, have released, cursing the hand that has set them free, and vowing that they will yet make themselves heard of again in some fresh con spiracy against the country which has dealt too m ch e i r e c f ifu ci ll ti y es wi o t them.

We see another of the principal cities at one hour cheering that prince, and at the next given 1 1 up to a tumult so fierce that the police have to use their weapons, and to fire with fatal effect upon the mad rioters. We write now not knowing but what before these lines are published some fresh deed of violence more atrocious than the others may happen. And one of the worst features of this all but desperate condition is theglee with which these events are gloated over by party journalists. The Opposition journals of Ireland seem to glory in their shame. Instead of lamenting over each one of these wretched tragedies, and denouncing the authors of them, there is rejoicing at the thought that they will embarrass Po lOcal oPPQPIts) lad will bthig Mrs GL ip- STONE'S " Mssage of Peace " into contempt. Of course, if even Irishmen who profess to be devotedly loyal see in disloyalty and treason only a subject of satisfaction, it is not to be expected that Irishmen who make no such profession will be particularly measured in their words and deeds. Of course if the loyal 'prentice boys of Derry take to rioting, we must not be surprised if Fenian convicts take to cursing. Of course, too, all attempts at pacification must fail if they are to be met in this way. Perhaps we are too desponding. We, the children, are reaping the sins of the fathers. The wrong doing of centuries is not to be set aside in a year. Four hundred years have passed since it was rendered lawful for anyone to cut off, without form of trial, the head of " any persons going or coming, having no faithful man of good name and fame in their company in English apparel." But not one-third of that time has elapsed since we began to be just • to Ireland. It is not half a century since we permitted Irishmen to return to Parliament men of their own faith. It is not half a century since the laws for discouraging manufactures in Ireland were in full force. This is reason why we should not despair. It is no reason why we should not be vigorous. The Government must be prepared to prevent such crimes as the murders of Mr. BRAD SHAW and Captain TARLETON ; must not suffer the administrators of the law to talk treason, like the MAYOR of CORK ; must henceforth carefully abstain from setting free before the expiration of theia sentences conspirators like C o STELLO j must even, great though their reluctance, keen though their regret may be, be prepared even to suspend again the Habeas Corpus Act, if that is requisite for the purpose of preserving Ireland from the miseries of fresh insane attempts to overthrow that British Government which alone is strong enough to keep the two hostile races and creeds from internecine war. WE have evidently much work to do before the administration of justice in this country can be made even distantly to approach the ideal standard of per fection. One great defect is under consideration. The masterlyscheme of the Judicature Commission is well calculated to effect a great reform in our legal procedure. It will sweep away the cumbrous system by which two distinct sets of superior tribunals, each independent of the other, were frequently brought into conflict, and not seldom ended in setting the law in direct opposition to the principles of justice. Much may reasonably be hoped of the scheme by which the separate practices of law and equity are to be united in one harmonious procedure. But this is not all that is needed. The administration of the law is as unequal in the lower tribunals as it is cumbrous in the superior courts. The juris diction of the humbler courts is defective, notwithstanding much patching. But worse than this, these tribunals are, often presided over by utterly incompetent persons, and are subject to a most discreditably irregular and unequal scale of penalties. The law reports are rich in strange specimens of ecclesiastical law laid down by bishops' chaplains. Justices' justice has long been a byword and a reproach. And every day furnishes examples of disproportionate sentences; of swindlers to the extent of thousands escaping with the single punishment— light to them—of publicity, whilst the gaol awaits the perpetrator of petty larceny; of wanton bru tality being paid for in money, whilst the theft prompted by famine is punished with life-long disgrace. The South Shields magistrates have just distin guished themselves in an exceptionally flagrant example of this unequal dispensation. The lessee of a theatre was summoned before them for an assault upon one of his actresses. This artiste had been engaged in a particular " line," and refused to take a part which properly belonged to another branch of histrionic business. The wife of the lessee made the request, and first proceeded to inflict punishment for the refusal. She dragged the actress by the hair across the stage, and there she and her husband attempted to throw the woman down a pair of stairs. Failing in that, the male animal got her' head under his arm, battered her face with his fi s t, and knocked seven of her teeth out. We are told in the report of the case that " when the defendant relaxed his hold of her, her jaws were locked, so that she was obliged to use her two hands before she could open her mouth, And when she succeeded several teeth fell out." The magistrates had 'no difficulty in arriving at the conclusion that this was a very bad case, and disposed of it straightway by a fine of £5, half to be given to the injured actress. There can be no hesitation in calling it an exceptionally bad case, of which the worst part is decidedly the sentence. They would have rewarded a slight case of shoplifting by committal to the sessions ; the theft of a pockethandkerchief would have been met by three months' imprison ment. Cases have occurred where a forbidden kiss has cost fifty pounds to the delin quent. Large sums of money are paid over in our courts of justice for every species of grievance material and sentimental. But a woman thus savagely beaten and disfigured for life is thought to be recompensed by fifty shillings, and justice in general satisfied with five pounds. We have said that this is an exceptional case ; but it is only a very flagrant instance of a very common sort of justice. In some cases these decisions are the work of ignorant magistrates ; in others the fault is with the law; in others the law and its expounder both work together for evil. But in no case is this inequality unavoidable. The principles of legislation do not require such an amazing disproportion between punishments for offences against the person and those against property. The system is quite capable of reform, and it sadly needs another Judicature Commission to reform it, LATEST INTELL MENCE (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE BRAZILS. BUENOS AYRES, March 27.

CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. MOH OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) PARIS. FRIDAY, April 30. The campaign proper does not begin until Sunday. The legal date for the opening of electoral meetings is Monday, the 3rd, but the authorities have graciously made it known that they concede a whole day in advance, and the first broadside against the Empire will, therefore, be fired the day after to-morrow. M. Thiers has hired the suite of rooms in which Berryer died—Rue Neuve des Petits Champs. Here he will fix his headquarters. M. Bancel will begin his orations at Vauxhall. All the other candidates have their meeting places. Paris on Sunday next will present a more than usually strange spectacle to the Englishman. The campaign in the capital will be rendered exceptionally lively by the disputes of the Opposition, for all hopes of reconciliation seem to have vanished. M. Emile de Girardin has put the finishing stroke to his quarrel with the Siecte. In the Liberte of to day he states that he has long been convinced of M. Anatole de la Forge's folly ; he is now certain that he is mad, and will therefore argue with him no more. In the seventh circumscription there are no less than seven candidates, of whom Jules Favre, Dari mon, and Rochefort are the chief. A letter is published from the famous editor of La Lanterne. He states that he opposes M. Darimon, and he expresses his belief that he is eligible for election. Some of the electors have doubted this, for M. Rochefort has been sentenced to terms of imprisonment amounting altogether to two years and a half. At his last trial the Imperial Advocate demanded that he should be deprived of his civil rights, but the magistrates refused. As M. Rochefort retains his civil rights, he can be elected to the Chamber, and a very formidable member of the Left will he prove. The Opposition, notwithstanding their differences, are energetically exerting themselves at this great crisis. So are the authorities. The assistants at the Prefecture of the Seine have been so heavily worked that they are now on strike, refusing to labour night and day unless better paid for it. M. Rouher, the best abused of men, is again the subject of rumour. It is again whispered that he will accept the Presidency of the Senate,, and that an 011ivier Ministry will be chosen. Probably nothinghas done so much to revive this old combination as the defection of the Constitutionnel. There is no more general topic of conversation than this important change of policy. M. Henri Bandrillart, the editor, quitted the office in disgust when informed that the famous article by M. Mitchell was to appear. He has returned to his post, it seems, but the Constitutionnel has not returned to its policy. Its defection is important, because it has long been the chief semi-official supporter of the Government. But the nature of this rebellion must not be misunderstood. It has not gone over to the Opposition. It still cries " Vive l'Empereur ! " but it adds " Vivent les Re- fomies ! " People. here have been so much occupied with the modern Cesar and his doings that they have forgotten all about his great prototype. But the Emperor Napoleon himself is not thus oblivious of his great ancestor. It was thought by some that the "Vie de Cesar" would never be finished, but it appears that the Emperor has regularly devoted a good deal of time to the work, which is very nearly completed. The last volume will be pub. Belied immediately. The prophecies of war have disappeared altogether ; the oracles are completely silent, and are likely to remain so until after the elections. It is amusing to note that a second visit which the Emperor has paid to the camp at St. Maur has scarcely even been men. tioned in the Paris papers. A little while ago two successive visits to one camp would have been regarded as the infallible prelude to a march across the Rhine. The French Academy has filled up its three vacancies On the first balloting, M. de Haussonville was elected by nineteen votes to replace M. Viennet. The highest number accorded to any of his rivals was five to M. Jules Lacroix. M. de Champa.g,ny was elected in place of Berryer by seventeen votes against fifteen scored by M. de Hauranne. But the place vacated by Empis was most severely contested, four ballotings being necessary. At last M. Auguste Barbier was successful. Thus the Academy disposed of this unexampled windfall of vacant seats. There is yet one to fill up—that vacated by poor Lamartine. Amongst the many industrial disputes of the day, it would be bard to find one snore disgraceful than that reported from Nice. A considerable body of stonecutters struck work in the neighbourhood a day or two ago. They proceeded in the evening to the residence of M. Dubois, the road contractor, who had employed them, and demanded payment of their wages. M. Dubois was not at home, but the men insisted that his son should settle their account. This he refused to do, upon which he was assailed, dragged into the street, and savagely beaten. At this juncture the father came up, and was in his turn assailed and maltreated by the rioters. Means, however, were found of informing the authorities, and a brigade of gendarmerie, on arriving, found about a hundred of the workmen throwing stones at the windows of M. Dubois's house. A combat ensued, which was not termi nated until the mayor arrived with a large reinforcement. Twelve arrests were made. SPAIN. MADRID, April 30. In to-day's sitting of the Cortes an amendment of Senor Estrada, proposing the abolition of the prerogative of the Crown to appoint bishops and intervene in other ecclesiastical affairs, was rejected by 154 against 18 votes. Senor Sorni has moved an amendment limiting the• rights of the Church in matters relating to spiritual jurisdiction. GREECE. ATHENS, April 30. Prince Frederick of Denmark, having recovered from his recent illness, left to-day for Corfu. FRANCE. PARIS, May 1. The Journal Official of this morning publishes two Imperial decrees, one closing the Session of the Senate, the other appointing M. Baroche to the post of Minister of Fivanco ad interim. The same paper publishes the protocol, signed by MM. de Lavalette and Frere-Orban, relative to the Dgigiau to Way queatio. NATIONAL SPORTS. Backers hqd an extraordinary time of it on the One Thou sand day. For the One Thousand itself the favourites were beaten ; the fourth on the list in popular esteem carried off the prize. But all the other events fell to favourites. 'rho Maiden Plate was won by the King of Trumps filly, on even terms; the Handicap Sweepstakes by Lady Beaconsfield, at 5 to 4 ; another Sweepstakes by Stork, at 7 to 4 on ; the Handicap Plate by Acaster, at 2 to 1, and the remaining two races were also secured by the favourites. Bu.. the One Thousand would amply recom pense the fieldsmen, for Scottish Queen was backed but very slightly. This is the fifth time that Fordham has won this race since 1859. The recent betting movements for the Chester Cup have been important. Xgeau has risen to 5 to 1, it having been found that there is nothing the matter with him. Knight of the Garter is at the same figure, and at Newmarket there was no disposition evinced to make an advance beyond i to 1 against Romping Girl, and 10 to 1 agst Fairwind. The latter odds were taken to a hundred pounds about St. Mungo, and Vansittart came to 15 to 1, the only other of the middle division mentioned being Dolby, who was supported for a small amount at 20 to 1. The most significant transactions were with regard to Paul Jones, about whom 3 to 1 was booked to all that could be obtained. _ It is believed by some good judges that the One Thousand running will be reversed in the Oaks. Morna ran well on Thursday, and is a better stayer than Scottish Queen, who is a notorious "roarer." This defect did not prevent Ler winning the One Thousand, but the case will be very diffe rent on the Epsom course. The Newmarket Ditch mile is a very easy course ; the Epsom hill very diffi cult. As to the Derby, it is pretty certain that Belladrum will rise very highly in the market before the race is run. The bookmakers who laid against him are in a terrible fright, and are anxious to "hedge on almost any terms. "Hotspur," of the Telegraph, who formerly opposed the horse, now believes that he will win. .tle Says :—" There is scarcely a dissentient from the opinion that Belladrum ought to have won the Two Thousand; for, bad Kenyon waited with him at the girths of Pretender, and then gone up with one run, he would have certainly cut down his adversary. Nearly every jockey 'who rode in the race is of this opinion; and, bearing in mind that Belladrum was absolutely leading three lengths at the Bushes, the best stayer in the world might have got beaten under the circumstances. I am certainly of opinion that Belladrum was quite 71b below condition compared to what be can bo made by the Derby day, and with his fine stride there is nothing with any prospect of beating him, if he only continues well, unless it be Pretender." The late Mrs. Cavendish, a daughter of the Lord Chief Justice, was a Roman Catholic, and her husband, who was formerly an English clergyman, seceded to Rome several years ago. The miners locked out at Thorncliffe have been conducting themselves in a disgraceful manner. On Thurs day an attack was made upon the dwellings of the non unionists, and also upon the houses of people who wore sup posed to be hostile to their cause. The Langdale Memorial Fund exceeds 0000 ; the Lund raised to compensate the poorer Roman Catholics of Ashton who suffered from the Murphy riots of last year is over 200 guineas. The subscriptions to the Pope's Jubilee Fund reach £2,600. The Cork correspondent of a contemporary telegraphs that the Mayor, in a letter to a local paper repu diates the construction placed on his speech. He says :—" I would be the last man in Ireland to justify the taking of the life of either prince or peasant. I called O'Farrell noble,' not be cause of what he did, but because I considered him to be sincere in his love for Ireland. That is, in my mind, a great virtue, end ono that should endear his memory to his couutrymen." A 111 r.

The weekly - meeting of the Improvement' Department of the Cork Town Council, on Friday, waslargelyattended. The Mayor was interrogated by Alderman Thomas Lyons As to the words he made use of in his speech at the banquet given to Warren and Coatelloe on Tuesday last, with reference to O'Farrell, who fired at the Duke of Edinburgh. The MAYOR replied that while denying the right of any public body, except the Government, to call him to account, and while asserting that his letter in the Cork Examiner, denying that he intended to instigate to the assassination of Prince Arthur, ought to satisfy every honest Irishman, he explained that what he meant to convey was that O'Farrell may have been actuated by pure, high-minded, and honourable motives. He did not know, but he dared say he was. He strongly repudiated the allegation that he sympathised with assassination, and declared that the construction put upon his wordson that point was utterly false. He depre cated the taking of any man's life under any circum stances, and if he saw a weapon aimed at a prince or a peasant he would be the first to turn it aside, even if it came upon himself. He would not deny to any country. men of his—he would not deny to the men who had been hanged at Manchester, or to Barrett, who was supposed to have blown up Clerkenwell prison —the possession of honourable motives, or that they were sincere lovers of their country. That was his answer to my Lord Lifford in the House of Lords, to Mr. Peel Dawson in the House of Commons, to Mr. Lyons, to all the Orangemen of Ireland, and to the traitors to the Liberal partyin the country. He asked what right had Lord Lifford or Mr. P. Dawson to question any words of his ? He would ask Lord Lifford. who was one of the same party in Ireland, as he sat in the House of Lords to-night, if he did not hold his lands in this country under the Act of Spoliation of 1714, and through that violated Treaty of Limerick, through which the Irish nation was robbed by the Orange party of Ire land ? Mr. LYONS said if the mayor did not repudiate in toto, in every possible way, the sentiments attributed to him in the Examiner's report, he (Mr. Lyons) could not con scientiously, with his political and religious convictions, continue to sit at that or any other board presided over by a gentleman who could hold such opinions, and left it to the council to say whether the explanation was satis tory or not. After a warm discussion, in which several members took part, the meeting broke up, it being comiidered that as the matter of the mayor's conduct was under the con sideration of the law officers of the Crown, it would be improper now to place the mayor on his trial, as it were. THE CASE OE MR. BENNETT, 07 roita IP" In the Court of Arches, yesterday, this case was decide d ' on an application by Mr. Sheppard, as promoter of the office of the Judge, that the Court of Arches should a°' cept letters of request from the Bishop of Bath and We lls ' , in order that certain charges of alleged heresy by Mr. nett, of Frome, should be heard and determined. v" the former occasion Mr. A. J. Stephens, Q.C., and ' P I .. Tristram urged that the court was bond to accept the letter s of request from the Bishop that they were letters of °°lll - His Lordship now gave judgment, and lucidly revievred the whole ecclesiastical law on the subject of letters of re quest. He cited several cases, and di sc ussed the state °` the law both before and after the introduction of th e Church Discipline Act, under which the present er plication was made. No reason was assigned in the letters of request why they were sent to the Appeal Court of the Province, instead of to the 131 ' shop's Court. The charges were as to heresy on sours L of the awful mysteries of our religion, and in his opinio n was of all others a case for the bishop to hear in his o va Court. His Lordship therefore declined to accept the lett er ' of request until some reason was stated why he should do o °' Judgment accordingly. THE ATHLONE MURDER. The Times Dublin correspondent furnishes some further details of the murder of Captain Tarleton, near Athlone. The affair, like nearly all the murders recently reported in this country, is (he says) shrouded in mystery. The victim is a Captain Rowland Tarleton, of Creggan House, about two miles from Athlone. He farmed his own estate, about ninety acres, had no tenants whatever, and is said to have been well liked by his neighbours. It appears that on Wednesday afternoon, about one o'clock, he proceeded to a part of his farm to direct the opera tions of some of his labourers. After remaining with them for some time he told them to go to dinner, which they did, he himself proceeding towards a bog in the vicinity, where a labourer, named Mullaney, was occupied. Captain Tarleton left after a few minutes, and so far as is known was never again seen alive, except by his assassin. His lifeless body was found three hours later in a " boreen " not far from his own residence. He had been shot through the head. The eyes are described as having presented the appearance of an undistin guishable mass of pulp, and the features were totally destroyed by the storm of shot which had been poured into them. A revolver, which he had been in the habit of carrying for some time back, was found on his person, as was also a sum of money in silver. The spot had been well chosen by the assassin. Within a few yards of where Captain Tarleton fell was a stone wall, coming to an angle. Stones had been placed on the wall so as to afford an ambush, and so as, while protecting the assassin from observation, to give him a full view of Captain Tarleton, who, it is known was in the habit of passing the spot daily. The constabulary were immediately on the alert, but no clue to the perpetrator of tha murder could be discovered. No one will confess to having heard a shot fired. The police, however, arrested Thomas Hickey, John Burns, John Dutton, Michael Dowd, Patrick Burns, and William Burns. At a later hour, two men, advanced in years, and each named Burns, were also arrested on suspicion of being implicated in the affair, but they were soon afterwards discharged, the authorities thinking there was no reasc,u to detain them in custody. Four other men were subse quently arrested. An inquest has been held, but no addi tional light was thrown on the occurrence. The 'only known possible motive for the crime is that Captain Tarleton had about six months ago dismissed a herdsman named Burns. He had since received several threatening letters. Deceased was an unmarried man, 35 years of age. His mother and sister resided with him. THE HAYMARKET NIGHT-HOUSES. Sir William Bodkin, at the Middlesex Sessions, on Friday, thought it necessary to defend his decision in the matter of the Haymarket night-houses. The counsel for the police told the court that the convictions by Mr, Knox, against which appeals had been entered, would be allowed to be quashed. Sir William protested against the misconstruction which had been put upon his decision. " These convictions," said the Assistant-Judge, " have been a subject of considerable comment, and have been the cause of interrogation in the House of Commons. In these cases there is no question of law ; it is entirely a question of fact, and each case must stand on its own merits. On one occasion we quashed a conviction on the hearing, and upon that decision a great deal has been said. The sole evidence then was that a police-constable went to the house between twelve and one o'clock, and found men and women having refreshment, some of the women being prostitutes. No question was asked, and there was nothing to shew that the person who kept the house knew that they were prostitutes. There was nothing to shew that any warning had been previously given against harbouring or encouraging them to come. There was no ringing of any bell to give notice of the approach of the police. In fact, there was nothing but the mere incident that the police, before the hour of cue, when those houses should be closed, found persons in them taking refreshment, some of those persons being prostitutes. Although Ido not shrink from taking on myself the chief responsibility, there were many magistrates present who formed their own opinion upon the question, which was a question of fact, and seemed so clearly not to be a case which satisfied the requirements of the law, that we did not call upon the counsel for the appellants, but at once quashed the conviction. Indeed, after all that has been said, I have no hesitation in stating that if another case came here, and was presented in such a bald and unsatisfactory manner, we should again quash the conviction. We are equally as desirous as Mr. Knox is of putting an end to any nuisance, whether in the Haymarket or elsewhere ; but we cannot forget that we are in a court of law, and bound to act upon such testimony as is sworn before us, and not to embark upon inquiries of another kind. There was not a tittle of evidence as to ringing a bell, or of any thing more than persons taking refreshment within the houses allowed by law, some of those persons being pros titutes. I do not think that any magistrate in the kingdom could under the circumstances have arrived at a different conclusion. If other cases come before us, we shall treat them in the same manner, according to the effect of the sworn testimony, and in no other way. I am sorry if our decision should have induced Mr. Knox, for whom I entertain a great respect, to have abstained from convicting other cases, unless those cases were of the same unsatisfactory character as that which NI e decided. There were two cases for hearing to-day, and I thought we might have had some further evidence to justify the conclusion at which Mr. Knox came ; but when they were called on we find there was no evidence forthcoming, and that a letter has been written to say that no attempt will be made to sustain those convictions. I have nothing more to say than this, that as in the last case we decided on the real merits of the question as proved by the testimony before us, so we shall en deavour to decide when any similar case is submitted to I this court."

In his charge to his clergy at his spring visitation, the Archdeacon of Winchest er (th e R ev . C ano n Jae° h /' speaking of the health of the bishop of the diocese, said :—" Our bishop is as comp e t en t an d as a ble, see 8i mere manual and vocal pow e r, a s ever h e was.

I rl be over sanguine as to the p er f ec t recovery o f his speec h, but it is not impossible, unless a pressure is put upon 111° under which the whole man may succumb." It may b e added that the Bishop is 78 years of age. There are very unfavourable accounts of the health e f the Bishop of Carlisle. His lordship l e ft h o me sever! i weeks ago and proceeded to France with a view to recrt o ing his health, and obtaining the advice of some eraine ° French physicians. We regret to learn, however, that 11 1 improvement has taken place. The Carlisle Journ a says :—" It is recommended that his l or d s hip eb°ult a return to England, if equal to the journey, as the he ° advice in London is considered more important than A n / change of air or sojourn on the Continent." SWIMMING AND SAIL ORS. The Daily Telegraph calls attention to the report that two sailors were drowned on W e d nes d a y i n Fir: 012 ,., Sound, while a third saved hi mse lf by c li ng i ng t o a n eull'u keg. He could not swim, and, th oug h it i s no t stated ill the account, in all probability the other sailors were, 'i l l nearly all their class, deficient in that art. It is a 133° , 8 extraordinary thing (says the Telegraph) that, farailiar sailors are with the sea, they rarely know holy t g i swim.
