IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. HOUSE OF LORDS.—(This Evening.) ROYAL COMMISSION. The Royal assent was given by commission to the Militia Acts Continuance Bill.. The Royal Commi4sionere were the Lord Chester, Lord Rardwicke, and Lord Wensleydale. Their lordships adjourned during pleasure. The LORD CHANDELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at five o'clock. Lord SHAF TESBURY presented a petition from a branch of the Evangelical Alliance praying that the house will not sanction the appropriation of any public money to the support of idolatry in Ilidia. That the pre sent connection of the Government with the opium traffic may cease, and no obAacle whatever may be permitted to exist to the operation of Cnristian missions to India. Also, petitions to a similar effect from the congregation of the third deanery to connection with the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from a person named Thomas Brown, residing at Canterbury, praying that as he had been sued for the small sum of 7/. 104. and mulcted in heavy co;t4 the law of Eogland might be so altered as to prevent such extortions for the future. THE SEPOY MUTINY. In answer to a question from Lord MONTRA.GLI, in reference to the civil and military services in India, and the sepoy outbreak. Lord ELLENBOROUGH said that a mixed corn miseion had been formed to inquire into those circum stances which would be shorly laid on the table, from which the noble lord would be able to form an opinion of his own. THE TWO ENGINEERS. The Earl of MALMESIA.TEtY said, as great interest had been excited in this country with respect to the two engineers lately confined in Naples, he begged to inform the house that one of them, named Watt, who had been released, had arrived in this country, and was greatly improved in health. Within the la4t hour he had received a tele graphic despatch, stating that Mr. Lyons had succeeded so far in obtaining the liberty of the other, that he had been admitted to bail, and was now living in the house of the Britimh consul. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY. Etrl GRANVILLE begged to ask the noble earl opposite whether his communica ions with th© Court of Directors, with respect to the proposed bill abolishing the Company, had been written, or merely yert,al ? If written, whether there woulo be any objection to lay that correspondence en the table I Tee Earl of ELLEN BOROUGH said that, ao it bad been decided that the g.vernment of India was to be carried on wi h,.ut the assistance of the Court of Direc tors, and as they would t •us have little power in respect to that country through private gentlem a, he had not bad any ufficial correspondence with them on the subject. Ho had had some conversation with the chairman, and that morning he bad confi dentially paced a copy of the proposed bill in his bands. Earl GRANVILLE said, when the late Government introduced the bill they had been greatly blamed for not consulting the Court of Directors. It was a strange circumstance that her Majesty's present advisers were pursuing precisely a similar course. Lord DERBY denied that there was any inconsis tency in the course that was now being pursued by the Government, because in the bill they were about to in troduce they retained so much of the feruer measure as related to the abolition of the Court of Direotas, and therefore there was no reason fir nor:- suiting them upon the occasion. The new 'bill however, contained several improvemefits, which be trusted would remove several ef the objections that had been raised in the Lionse of Commons. . Earl GREY deprecated rai-ing a discus ion upon tlEite merits of a bill by merely putting a question, and also the constant sparring between the late and present Go vernment. The subject then dropped. LAW OF LIBEL. Lord CAMPBELL po.tp >ned the second reading cri his bill, whict, stood f hi.; evening, until atter Easter. SCOTTISH UNIVERSITIE`• Lard CAMPBELL gave ❑otice that, alter Easter, be should ask her Majesty's Govern,nent whether there was any intention to introduce a measure for the im provement of the Scottish universities.

The Speaker and members ut the Rouse attended the House of Lords to hear tits Royal Assent gtveu by commission to the :Militia 1311. INDIAN RAILVVAYS.

If it could be shown that the Department of Public Works did ntt discharge the duties required of them, her Majesty's Gevernmeet would consieer the best means of providing a suitaule remedy. (Hear.)

(Oneer..) LORD LIEUTENANT OF IRELAND.

The hon. and leareed g ritlemen denied that he was an enemy to Ireland by pu, suing the present course. He had always done his utmost utmost for Ireland, and by doingaway with thisbadge of slavery, and appointing a Secretary of Steve, he was advocating Ireland's being a portion of this great empire in reality. The Lord Lieutenant of Ireland cost 50,0001. a-year, without any corresponding benefit. The only pers ins interested in it , : continuant:a were milliners and tailors, why supplied Court dresses. Mr. GILPIN seconded the motion Mr. S. B. MILLER move 1 the previous question, on the ground that no valid reason had been given f ‘r this change, and secondly, that her Majesty's G oiernment were net in a position to give the matter, from pressi , g business, their beat consideration at present. He considered such a change should originate with the Go vernment, and not with a private member. A central resident authority in Dublin was essential to the welfare of Ireland, and he quoted the opinion of the late Duke of Wellington to that direct. He protested against the revivals and incessaat renewals of this motion for piece meal legislation. Mr. VANCE seconded the amendment. Col. FRENCH condemned the course pursued by the mover of the amendment. The previous question was an ingenious device to get rid of a matter to which he (Col. French) considered a tacit admission that the mover and those who voted with him were unable to re sist the truth and force of the original resolution. He was surprised the previous question bad been moved from the Ministerial side cf the house, because Lord Eglinton on a former occasion declared that the abolition of the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland would be beneficial to that country, an opinion in which that nobleman was j oined by many of his present colleagues. The gallant colonel then referred to the system o f exclu sion of Irishmen from the office of Lord Lieutenant and Chief Secretary, that bad been adopted, though Irish men in all quarters of the world, and in every station had shown themselves equal to E"glishmen or Scetchinen. Toe cost of the Lord Lieutenant had been wrongly stated at 50 0001. a-year. It was only 35,000/., and he found t 'et the H-one Seer tary's office for England east 24.0001., the Celeuial 29,0001., and the War-office 121,0001 [LEFT SPEAKING them into the dark unknown awl bu. y for ever in the night of the grave, exemplifies in , s. empha tically th it whet e the tie isur is the, e will the heart be al , o.

Withthe promise and prost:eci of two fo,tune-, Mina had to en ture years of penury. It is satisfactory to think that she was at last endowed with some portion of wealth.

IRELAND. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY MORNING. THE COLLEGE ELECTION. . __ Although it would be rather premature to specn• late on the result of a contest which mAy be per severed in until the last day of the current week, stili it may be stated as the general impression that Dr. Gayer's chance-; of ultimate success have been materially and unexpectedly dimiu , stiel by the issue ti the fir-t day's polling. The learned gentle man is the undoubted fay .rite of tie heads and corporation generally of the University, and every one supposed that at the start, at least, ho wou,d hive headed his opponent, as he reside , t voters were by an overwhelming majority pledged to sup port him. Mr. Lefroy's great strength on tin contr try, lay in the non resident or out voters, and it was not anticipated that they would sh. , w in any considerable force until the second and subsequent days of the election. It was reported yesterday that Mr. Lefroy's m jority might have been much larger, but that it was deemed better poli y to keep down the numbers, lest parties resid ng in the country should come to the that the issue was virtually decided by the fwures of Tues day, and that, therefore, the journey to Dublin might be s•tiely avoided. Such a notion, if enter tained to any extenr, might materially alter the relative positions of the candidates, and that, too, before the close of the second day. The Life of Mahomet, and History of Ram. By William Muir, Esq. 2 vols. Smith, Elder, and Co. This laborious and valuable producion forms the commencem-nt of a work ou the rice and pro gress of the Mahometau faith, which is likely, thaugh somewhat tedious to the general reader, to become a ,•tandar , i work of reference for the scholar and the student. The peculiar character of the country and it: inhabitants ,he absence of any great events or striking characters such as have lighted up the rages of most ratio al annals, the enWiglewent of , ho dynas ies, and the petty con flicting powers, joined to the isolation of the coun try and its comparatively unknown langulge, have rendered the early records of Ar.bian history one of the leant known in either hemisphere. It was far ot:,erwise in later years wh-n the Moslem name was a terror to Europeans, and when the vict uious army of Aliderrahtnan swept over Aquitaine and Bordeaux. The patient and laborious author endeavours to carry back the Arabian records to the earliest possible traces, and he searches among the dust of ages with which they are overlaid with commendable perseverance, though we roust con fess without always meeting an adequate recom peuse. The work before us only carries down the life of Mahomet to the era of the Hegira, or flight from Mecca to Medina, which took place about A.D. 622, and therefore the most exciting and extraordinary part of the narrative is not yet reached. A great portion of this first instalment is occupied by the introductory history, and com ments on the various sources from which the bio graphy of Mahomet is derived, their comparative value and authenticity, whether historical, tradi tional, or legendary. The author promises, bh"llid events permit him, to comtlete the life and career of the Prophet. He is fully capable of ap preciating the has ins and reflections which may be drawn from and traces the rise and orig,u of the idea of conversion in Mahomet's mind, in an able and sat isfaet, Tv wanner. We are glad, th •t he pur post.s completng a work Fo laboiious in iti charac t r, and ro valuable in the extent of its intormat ion, for thouh tie subject be somewhat tedious, and cannot be said to approach the r mance of most of the early eastern annals, the pr. -I-lamite history is useful to the student, and en .bles the reader to comprehend the dtsjoaated and conflicting circum stances which afforded such ready opportunity for the advance of the Mahometan supremacy. The author apologise, in a note, for any errors that may have crept into the latter pages of the work, as being a member of the Bengal Civil Service, all his hooks of reference had been secured from the att cks of the mutineers, and were inaccessible. The labour and research whili has been bestowed on the work must have be n considerable ; indeed, the author is rather too lavish of his notes, from which th , re is start-ly a page that is fie-. It would have been better to have tuterpelated a few with the text, or to have placed them at the end of the volume. We trust th a the speedy set tl-ment of the Indian ddEcul:ies will twine the author to gain his literary property, and to conduct ha ardu ous undertaking to a satisfact. ry conclusion. AQUATICS. - MATCH WITH MODEL YACHTS. The lovers of this sport enjoyed another afternoon's amusement on Tuesday, which took place on the Ser pentine River, Hyde Park.

TRINITY COLLEGE ELECTION, DIIBLIN.—The polling commenced cu Tuesday morning at nine o'clock and closed at five p.m., when the bombers for the rst day w ere di-eared as follows :—Lrfroy, 294; Gaye fi r, 250-- ..ljoricy, 44. Dr. Gaffer is understood to have lulled ail the menthe's of his committee, as well as the large majority of electors resident in Dublin. last. The hero, Gaston Bligh, is a striking contrast to his mother, who treats him with cold ness and sternness from a mistaken sense of duty. Sylvia, the object of his attachment, who is com pelled to refuse his affection from obedience to her m Aber, is drawn with care and skill though with a certain coldness. llirica Smith is another promi nent character, but she is probably not intended to excite the reader's sympathy, and she does not do so. The various subordinate figures are ably drawn, and we accept the work as a promise that the author will one day take a high rank among the writers of fiction. On Consumption. By R. P. Cotton, M.D. Se. cond Edition. John Churchil l, New Burlingten street. The author of this able and valuable work occu pies an eminent position among medical practi tioners. Besides baing a mtinber of the Royal College of Physicians, he is one of the physicians to the Brotnptoa Hospital for Consumption, and therefore has every oppertunity of studying the variations and peculiarities of this painful and melancholy disease. The work before us is an essay, which ob ained the Fotbergillian Gold Medal f t.ie Medical Slcie.y of London, and the medical experience of Dr. Cotton has therefore been attested by °tilers, skilled in the art of healing. He divides his work into three parts, and gives in a clear and succinct style, an account of the nature of consumption, its symptoms, and treatment, A. long experience and extended observation are evi, den - in lrs page , , and his remarks on the predis . posing causes and excitants of the disease are highly instract've. Thus out of 1,000 patients, 841 fol lowed in door pursuits and 159 out-door occupa tions, thus proving the invaluable importance of fresh air and exercise. When it is remembered that policemen, coachmen, hawkers, &c., are included in theabove list, who are exposed to the most unfavonr able ch-tnges of the weather, the contrast is still more striking. Another startling fact is the pre valence of the disorder among domestic servants, who alone nuwbtr 129 uut of the 1,000. Many ir facts, which deserve the attention of those who are in any way responsible for the health of I others, may be met with in this volume, and all who are interested in its melancholy records, either personally or for their relatives, would. do well ro study Dr. Cotton's simple and prac tical advice for obtaining health and relief. The Good soldier A Memoir of Major-General Sir Henry Havelock, K.C.8., compiled from authentic eources by the Rev. W. Owen. Simp- kin, Marshall, and Co. The later events of General Havelock's life are now a part of history, but the interest attaching tso his carer will not be satisfied with the mere nar• naive of his feats of arms. The earlier portion of bis life, his campaigns and military achieve ments, together with as much of his personal and domestic charact_r as may with proper discretion be made public, are described in this little volume, which does credit to its author's judgment and feeling. It is concise and well written, Mr. Owen wisely leaving Gen. Havelock to speak for himself on every opportunity. It is a highly interesting little volume, and the character it draws of the de parted hero sets a brilliant example to all who can rival him in his high spirit and sense of Christian duty, though they may never compete with his talents for military command. The History of England. By L'rd Macaulay. Vol. V. Long-naan. The fifth volume of an excellent edition of this celebrated work is now ready. The contents of the four large volumes in whi,l it was originally puidishtd will occupy seven of this smaller size, which are e convenient for perusal, and equally suitable for a linra• - y. The price is moderate, and the type clear and good. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. Gaston Bligh. By L. S. Lavenu, author of " Erlesweie." 2 vols. Smith, Elder, andeo. This work exhibits a decided iinprovement upon the author's fui mer wo ks. Theie is mole connec tion, more unity, and the characters, tbou2ll eccen tric, are much more no ural, and delineat-d with greater effect. The cenversatioes are sill far above the ordinary level of comp , ehension, and gentle men and ladies discourse in s' mewhat mythical Getman fashion, but there is mole vitality and human feeling amid the speculative theories than in " Erlesmere." Though the circums•ances are different, there is a strung resemblance in the characters, and a kind of vague shadow over the work, evidently resulting either from the author's own experience, or from her habits of thought and literary tastes. Shell b ey, Keats, and Tennyson, with many Italian authors of similar cLaracter, are among her chief favourites ; but keen and sensitive as is her appreciation of poetry in its highest sense, andhuman elevated as are itie her views of human nature and capabils r acticil earnestness. Self there is a deficiency of p sacrifice is upheld in its noblest aspect ; love and truth are shown in their native angel guise ; but yet there is wanting a sense of the reality of life, a perception that to act is nobler than to dream. In c; erect antagonism to the narrow and degrading mer cenary spirit of the age, its vaunted common sense and business-like, earth-bound views, thrre is a school of philosophers who scorn the world, its cares, its rights and claims attogether, f.rgettiog that the lark who pours out its homage at the gates of heaven does nut forsake the earth. There is room for another class for those who see th e highest principles in the trilling duties of existence, who see in the way-side pond as clear a reft ctiou of thi) untrouQed, skies as in the lonely lake, and of thus c l ass ' rust ou awhor will be one of the exponei.ts and adve ca . es r . It is with great satisfaction that we see a writer of such aollities and p, oepects advancing in the right and onward path. The characters are far more interesting in this work than in the IC( ?RTIIAMP RACES.—WEDNESDAT. The propitious weather unclerßent no change, and the it•to.tact e, f a second day, was unuially numerous. The sport was sufficiently exciting tosuetainthecuriosity even f the most indifferent spectator, and altogether a Inc re successful meeting was never celebrated at Northampton. The pro perity of the gathering is ltlz‘ly to he rendered permanent, if we may judge from the illy co leetion f autourapbs which Mr. Mar. s ;all, sen., the clerk of the course, secured for his " red b .01 ." _ _ _ The races were decided as under : Renewal of the St. Liz iariclicap, of 10 soya eacb, h ft, with 100 added.
