_MONEY MA TIT NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. A reduction in the Bank rate of discount, at the meeting of the directors to-morrow, seems to be fully anticipated, as there is nothing in the present situation of the market to justify a postpOnement of the measure. The difference between the existing quotation and _the terms charged in the general market is fully 11 per cent., and as the bullion remains steady, with an accumulating tendency rather than otherwise, it is useless to adhere to the regu lations enforced at a period when a sudden panic had created unusual pressure, and specie was being withdrawn from the establishment in large quan tities. Those adverse movements have disappeared, for the demand for accommodation is comparatively unimportant, and the export demand for gold, although active, is supplied by commercial arrivals from Australia, America, and Russia. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were firmer, and a slight advance was apparent in the rate on Hamburg. There were no bullion operations of public in terest at the Bank of England yesterday. Of the £ 2 08,000 by the Niagara, from America, £140,000 has been taken for the Continent. To-day the following Railway calls become due, 'viz., £1 per share on the Worcester and Hereford Railway, £5 per share on the Whitehaven Junction, £1 per share on the Newry and Armagh, and £5 per cent. on the Glasgow and South Western. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed With a very animated appearance, and 8,000 bales were sold at the previous advance. In the Railway Share Market a rather large business was trans acted, and prices further improved. The market for English Securities has been very buoyant, and at one time a rise of fully a per cent. was exhibited. Continued purchases of money stock were the cause of this improvement. The rise, however, brouglit - fcirWard . a few sellers, and their operations have produced a relapse. The Present quotations are fully equal to those current Yesterday afternoon. Consols have been 93: 1, but the latest quotations are 9311 for money and account. The New Threes and the Reduced Annuities have improved 92i 1; Indian Loan Debentures, to 941; and the New 21 per Cents., to 771. Exchequer Bills are flat. at 17s. to 21s. prem. The New India Loan Scrip continues to advance, being marked 9 31 94, being 1. to 1 discount. A further considerable improvement has taken Place in the Foreign Stock Market, and numerous transactions are recorded. Turkish 6 per Cents. have advanced to 69 and 70 ; ditto New, to 58 and 6 0 ; Venezuelan .5 per Cents. to 39 ; ditto Deferred, to 17; Dutch 4 per Cents., to 93 ; Spanish, to 41 ; ditto Deferred,. t 0,28: ; Peruvian 41 per Cents., to 86 ; ditto 3 . per Cents., to 641; Portuguese to 42 ; Mexican, to 171 pi Grenada Deferred, to 4: ; and Brazilian 5 per• Cents., to 100 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 185 8, are' 90,.e3C dividend ; and Buenos Ayres De ferred is flat; fa' 1.7.1.. The transactions •in the Railway Share Market have been ra,tlier numerous, and a further advance of about 1 to 1 per cent. has taken place in most of the principal lines.

Although only a limited supply of English wht was on offer to-day's market, the demand for all kind ,owing to the thin attendance of buyers, ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in the quotations. We were heavily supplied with most kinds of foreign Wheat. Even the finest parcels were much neglected, and Prices were almost nominal. Floating cargoes of grain were very dull. Barley and malt, the show of which was only moderate, sold slowly at late quotations. There was a steady but by no means active demand for oats, on former terms. Both beans and peas were very dull. The transactions in flour were trifling, and the top price of town-made was 50s. per 2801bs. . ARRIVALS THIS WEEK Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats.

LAW INTELLIGENCE. --(THIS DA J COURT OF CHANCERY. (Befoie the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL. - JUDGMENT.-CROUCH V. WALLER. This was an appeal from a decree of the Master of the Rolls dismissing the plaintiff's bill. The suit was instituted by Emma Christian Crouch, by her next friend, against her husband, Charles Richmond Crouch, to recover the arrears of an annuity of £6O given to the plaintiff by indenture of settlement, dated Dec. 31, 1850. In March Mrs. Crouch separated from her husband. In the month of August, 1848, the husband agreed to make a settlement of £6O a year in favour of the wife, but no deed was executed at the time. After certain legal proceedings against Mr. Crouch and a reference to arbitra tion, he executed two deeds, which gave rise to the present suit. As to the first deed of separation it was provided that Mrs. Crouch, so long as she remained separate from her husband, was to have the custody of her two children. The deed contained a proviso that the same should become void if the husband and wife should at any time thereafter by mutual consent come together and cohabit as man and wife ; and by the second an annuity of £6O was given to the plaintiff, and after her decease an annuity of £5O to the two children—the same to be a charge on Mr. Crouch's pro perty. Mrs. Crouch now claimed the original annuity, with arrears. An agreement was made in April, 1852, by which Mrs. Crouch agreed to take £3O a year in lieu of the original annuity of £6O. Mrs. Crouch now claimed the original annuity, with arrears. It appeared from the evidence that she was leading a very dissolute life, which she did not deny; and also that after the deed of separation was exe cuted she and her husband cohabited together. The Master of the Rolls held . that such a deed must be sustained or fall altogether. • The Lord Chancellor said—The question in this case arises under the deed of settlement of 31st December, 1850, by which Charles Richard Crouch gave an annuity of £6O to his wife Emma Christian Crouch, out of certain fr,e hold, copyhold, and leasehold property belonging to him under the will of his father. His lordship considered this was an absolute deed, not affected by the subsequent volun tary deed of separation, nor by anything that took place under it, and that the plaintiff, Mrs. Crouch, was entitled to the payment of this annuity of £6O, and also the arrears, whether she educates and maintains the children or not, and declared accordingly. His Lordship allowed the appeal. Costs of all parties to be paid out of the estate. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS .DA E MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SPOILT FOR THE DEREY.—John Kennard was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a pork pie, under the following circumstances : It appeared from the evidence adduced, that at about half past two this morning the prisoner, with several companions, both male and female, went into Mr. Turner's House, a licensed victuallers, 162, Oxford-street, and called for some gin and peppermint. Shortly after they had been supplied with this, the barman heard the glass which covered a pork pie lifted from the counter, and, on looking round, saw the pie in the prisoner's hand. Upon being taxed with the theft he indignantly denied any intention of stealing it, and offered to pay for it, but, upon being searched, no money was found upon him. Prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he had had the mis.. fortune to fall into bad company. He denied any intention of stealing, the pie, which he said, was handed to him by one of the "ladies " in front of the bar. Instead of being there (in the dock), he ought to be at the races, as a relation of his, named Green, a rider in the races, had sent him a let ter, saying that if he could manage to come down he would lend him some money to go on with, as he was out of work. Mr. Bingham said he would spoil him from going to the "Derby" to-day by ordering him to pay a fine of 205., or, in default, 14 days' imprisonment. PROVIDENT CLERKS' BENEVOLT,NT FUND. An election of six' nore annuitants upon this fund took place yesterday-et the office of the Provident Clerks' Asso ciation, .15, Moorgate-street, when one clerk and five widows were electeq, to annuities varying from £l5 to £3O each. There is, perhaps, no benevOlent institution in Londco which has achieved co much good in proportion to its means as the Provident Clerks' Benevolent Fund. It has been the means of relieving many cases of distress and of providing for the declining age of some, and the widowed and helpless condition of others. In this benevolent pur suit it has now been - engacr b ed for many years, and a l rea d y annuitants absorbing fully £l,OOO a -year are placed upon its books, while, as an encouragement to those who are eli gible for its benefits, we are enabled to record that every cler k who has presented himself for an annu it y h as b een e l ecte d , the appointment on the present occasion having been made without a contest. This is the more creditable to the energy of the management, as the cost of membership is so small as to be almost nominal. It wants, however, but a little further extension of the sympathy manifested by the em ployers of clerks, and by the mercantile and commercial classes generally, to render the boon of an annuity a cer tainty to every applicant for many years to come. It is not too much to ask that every one in this great city, interested in this institution (and who is there in the great commercial metropolis not interested in its well being ?), should contribute a trifle annually to its funds. Considering the class of society to which the clerks belong, the necessity which exists for their maintaining a respect able exterior, and the too often insufficient remuneration awarded to their services, this institution may be said to possess peculiar claims to sympathy and support, more especially as its benefits are restricted to those whose pru dence and self-denial has led them, at their own cost, to become members. The chair yesterday was taken by Richard Henry Jones, Esq., Chairman of the Board, who addressed'a few observations to the members assembled, pointing out the duty which devolved upon them of promoting, by every means in their power, the well-being of the Fund, and th. advantages they themselves would reap from their lending it their best efforts. The poll was then formally opened, and was closed at three o'clock, when the following were found to be elected, viz. : • • James Grint, to an annuity of .. £3O Cecilia A. Barrett Ann Ady .; • . Emma M. CoSta Mary J. Drower Ann Harris •h " " • 15 The result was received with much satisfaction, and a few appropriate words were addressed by the chairman to the successful candidates and others present, calling upon them to make known the benefits of the fund, and thereby in crease its power of doing good. An unanimous vote of thanks was then given to the Chairman and to the much-esteemed Treasurer, John Abel Smith, Esq., who was present dur ing a part of the proceedings, and the meeting then ter minated. ,) • • • • THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.

THE WEST INDIA AND PACIFIC MAILS.—On and from August next the West India transatlantic mail packets will run from Southampton to Colon, merely calling at St. Thomas, and without touching at Santa Martha or Cartha gena on the Spanish Main. This will accelerate the Panama, British Columbian, Chain, Peruvian, and Pacific mails nearly three days. At the present time tho transat lantic West India packets do not go farther than St. Thomas. ,The fine iron sc rew s t eam - s hi p T asman i an , 2,440 tons burden, built in 1858 by Messrs.

The price realised was £60,000. SELLING OFF.--The keeper of a ready-made clothes shop bearing the sign of the Quatre Parties du Monde, at tho corner of the rue St. Martin and the rue Rambuteau, lately asked his landlord, M. Verdier de Pen nery, to renew his lease, which has still four years to run but the latter refused, except on condition of the rent being increased 7,500 fr. The tenant would not accept the aug mentation, and he accordingly stuck up huge placards bear ing the inscription " Stock selling off at a great sacrifice in consequence of the landlord's refusal to renew the lease." Yesterday the landlord applied to the Civil Tribunal to order the placards to be taken down on the ground that they were calculated to bring him into odium in the neigh bourhood, and to lessen the value of his house, and were besides an abusive use of the right of occupation. But the tribunal held that as the placards simply announced what was indisputably true, the application could not be granted. TS DAY). IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT HOUSE OF LORDS—(THIS DAY). Their lordships met at two o'clock. The Royal Commis3ioners having taken their seats in front of the throne, The LORD CHANCELLOR ordered the - fisher of the Black Rod to summon the members of the House of Commons to attend at the bar. In a few minutes afterwards Mr. John Evelyn Denison, attended by, his mover and seconder, Mr. Wilson Patten and Sir F. Baring, and attended by a goodly number of members of the House of Commons (considering it being the Derby day) appeared at the bar. Mr. J. E. DENISON then addressed their lord ships, saying --In obedience to the commands of her Majesty, the House of Commons have proceeded,, in exercise of their undoubted right and privilege, to the election of their Speaker, and I have to acquaint your lordships that, however unworthy of it, I am the object of their choice, and I, with all humility, have now to ask her Majesty's most gracious approbation of that choice. The LORD CHANCELLOR said—Mr. John Evelyn Denison, we have the command of her Majesty to assure you that her Majesty is so fully sensible of your zeal for the public good and your sufficiency to discharge the arduous duties to which you have been elected by the members oQ the House of Commons, that she fully approves and confirms you their Speaker. The SPEAKER—My lords, with the most profound gratitude and respect I submit myself to her Majesty's commands, and it now becomes my duty in the name, and for and on behalf of the Commons of England, to lay claim, by hum ble petition, to the free exercise of all those ancient and undoubted rights, immu nities and privileges—more especially those of freedom from arrest and molestation for them selves and servants—free access to her Majesty when occasion may require, and that her Majesty , may be graciously pleased to put the most favour able construction on all their proceedings and actions, and for myself, my lords, I have to entreat that if any errors should be committed, they may be attributed to me, and not to her Majesty's faithful Commons. The LORD CHANCELLOR—Mr. Speaker, we have it further in command from her Majesty to assure you that her Majesty most readily confirms all the rights and privileges of her faithful Com mons which have ever been granted by her Ma jesty's Royal predecessors; and with respect to yourself, sir, although her Majesty is sensible that you stand in no need of such an assurance. her Majesty will ever put the most favourable con struction upon all your words and actions. The SPEAKER then bowed to the Lords Commis sioners, and retired from the bar. The LORDS COMMISSIONERS then bowed to each other and retired. The LORD CHANCELLOR, having divested him self of his robes as a Lord Commissioner, shortly afterwards re-entered the House and took his seat on the woolsack. The swearing in of peers was then proceeded with and continued for a short time, when their lordships adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THis DAY.) The SPEAKER took the chair at the Clerks' table shortly before two o'clock. The right hon. gentle man did not appear in full official costume. The mace was to-day laid on the table, and not in front of it, the form observed yesterday. The Usher of the Black Rod entered the House shortly after two o'clock, and, addressing the Speaker, said the Lords Commissioners desired the immediate attendance of the House in the House of Peers. The SPEAKER then proceeded to the House of Lords accompanied by most of the mem bers present. In about ten minutes he returned, and having taken the chair said— I have to state that I have been this day to the House of Peers, where I communicated to the Peers forming her Majesty's Commission that the house had proceeded to the election of a Speaker, and that its choice had fallen upon me. My Lords' Commissioners, on behalf of her Majesty, have confirmed the choice, and also her Majesty's most gracious approval. I, therefore, on behalf of this house, laid claim to the ancient and undoubted privileges heretofore enjoyed by this house; especially the privilege of freedom from arrest for ourselves and our, servants—the freedom of de bate—free access to her Majesty at all rea sonable times when we desire it—and also that her Majesty would put the most favourable con struction upon our words and actions, and my Lords Commissioners were authorised by her Majesty to concede those privileges to the house. Having made this communication to the house, I hope hon. members will allow me to take this oppor tunity of again offering them my sincere and grateful acknowledgments for the high and honourable position in which they have placed me, and to invite them to aid me by their counsel and support in maintaining the authority of the chair. My next duty is to subscribe to the oaths. The oaths having been administered, the righ hon. gentleman resumed the chair. The SPEAKER then informed the house that the members would be sworn in in the alphgbetica order of the counties. The CLERK having road over the names of the counties, the swearing•in of members was proceeded with, and continued up to the hour of adjourn ment. THE BANKRUPTCY BILL. A meeting of the general committee of mercan tile legislation of the National Association for the Promotion of Social Science was held at Birming ham yesterday (Tuesday), in order " that such alterations in the Bankruptcy Bill as may be agreed upon may be incorporated with the bill before it is again introduced, and to make arrangements for a vigorous support of the measure in the next session of Parliament." The attendance included Mr. G. Hastings, who presided ; Mr. Samuel Morley and Mr. Andrew Edgar, of London ; Mr. Heath, of Liverpool; Mr. Johnson, of Leeds ; Mr. Hewett, of Sheffield ; Mr. Bruton, of Bristol ; and Mr. Van Wart, Mr. Samp son S. Lloyd, Mr. A. Ryland, and Mr. Browett, of the Birmingham Chamber of Commerce. The CHAIRMAN, in introducing the business, explained the present state in which the measure now stood. The bill, as agreed upon by the mer cantile community, was introduced by Lord John Russell in the late parliament, and was passed through a second reading, when some amend ments were proposed by Mr. Morley and a com mittee of London merchants. These alterations merely related to some of the details of the mea sure, more particularly relating to the election of the trustees, which, under the bill was vested in the general body of creditors, while the amend ment proposed to vest the appointment in the inspectors, who would be elected by the creditors. By this means it was anticipated that much trouble and annoyance to creditors from persons canvassing for office would be avoided, while the interest of the estate would not be jeopardised. It was thought desirable, Parliament having been dissolved, and as the bill would have to be again introduced into Parliament, that a general meeting of the com mittee should be called to consider the proposed amendments, and, if approved of, to incorporate_ them with the bill, which might then be carried without the necessity of its being referred to a select committee. Mr. Hastings noticed some of the ob jections which had been urged against the bill by the officials of the present courts; amongst others, the statement that the passing of the bill wou ld entail an expense upon the country of £lOO,OOO per a nnum, and would sweep awaythe present fund of £1,500,000, now standing in the name of the Ac countant-General in Bankruptcy. This sum, which Mr. Hastings remarked was the accumulation of unclaimed di vidends, would still remain under another name, and the interest be applied, as at present, in the payment of the salaries of the judges of the court ; so that the statement about the addi tional expense that would be thrown upon the State was quite fallacious. Mr. MORLEY having at some length explained the nature o f th e pro posed alterations a lengthened debate en sue d , and it was ultimately resolved that the amendment should be incorporated in the bill which should be re-introduced into Parliament ; and a sub -committee was appointed to take steps for obtaining the vigorous support of the various Chambers of Commerce to the measure. task to avoid comparison with Macaulay's eloquent description. In alluding to Burke's reflections on the French Revolution he remarked that he thought his views on that subject entirely mistaken, as most Englishmen did at the present day. In his con cluding observations on the present state of affairs on the continent, Mr. Mason Jones strongly upheld the policy of neutrality. and the loud applause of his audience testified that they shared his opinion. The room was crowded, and the audience appeared to be highly gratified by the discourse. On Satur .. day, June 4th, and on Friday, June 10th, Mr. Mason Jones will give his two concluding orations on Sheridan and Curran. Those who have not yet heard him should take those opportunities of judging of an eloquence which is entirely natural, and which, with experience and - cultivation, pro mises future distinction. TILE FRENCH LOAN.-REPORT TO THE EMPEROR. The Moniteur of yesterday contains the follow. ing:— PARIS, May 28. SIRE,—The administration has just received the ast communication touching the loan of 500 millions. I hasten, as in duty bound, to render an account to your Majesty of the final result of the subscription, and make known to the. public the bases upon which the renter that have to be sub szribed in the ledger of the national debt will be distributed amongst the subscribers. On the day after the closing of the operation, when I had the honour of addressing my first report to your Majesty, the returns from the departments had only partially arrived. I could tnen only indicate, as 1 took care to announce, temporary estimates, which have been since found to be far below the reality, and are now completely ascertained. As the subscription approached its term, the desire of the public assumed more and more the nature of a patriotic demonstration. The annexed list, which states for each department the exact number of the subscribers and the amount of the capital subscribed, is an eloquent testimony to the sentiments of confidence and' devotedness that have impelled the people to enter the subscription offices ; I have much happiness in laying it before your Majesty. According to this list the number of persons who took part in the subscription by paying into the receiving offices of the State the earnest of one tenth, amounts to nearly seven hundred thousand (690,190). In itself alone this total surpasses by more than a hundred thousand share-takers that of all the subscribers to the three first loans taken together.* I need not point out the full importance of this in a political and financial point of view. It is thus divided : At Paris In the departments 445,165 The sum subscribed is above two milliards five hundred millions (2,509,559,776 fr.) ; it is equal to more than five times the sum demanded. Paris has supplied The departments The " coupurcs" of 10fr. The superior subscription at lofr. The deposit of a tenth to be paid in nine days, at Paris and in the departments, is more than two hundred and fifty-one millions (250,955,977fr.)1- I immediately adopted the necessary measures for restoring to circulation as soon as possible that portion of this sum which has to be returned to the public. The reimbursements made at Paris amount already to upwards of seventy-three millions. The data required to serve as a basis for the liquidation being now possessed by the administra tion, this intricate labour will be carried on with the greatest activity. I have the honour of submitting for your Ma jesty's approbation the principles in accordance with which the distribution will have to be made. The loan authorised by the law of the 2d of May instant comprises a principal sum of 500 millions and a supplement of 20 millions, intended to facili tate the liquidation and cover the expenses of dis cowl- On this sum of 520 millions we have first of all to strike off— .1. The amount of the 10• franc subscriptions that are irreducible. 2. The capital of the Rentes due to the subscribers of 20, 30, 40, and 50 francs, who, by means of the minimum of 10 francs of Rentes established by the decree of the 3d inst., will receive more than their proportional quota. These two sums added together amount to 116,561,956 f. The surplus, or 2,393,997,820 f., will have to be, as far as it is practicable, distributed at the rate of a franc to the mark amongst all the other subscribers. The mathematical share accruing to each would be 170 f. 4c. per cent. of the sum subscribed. But the rules that regulate the ledger of the pub- He debt, and the principles laid down by the above mentioned Ministerial decree that determines the conditions of the loan, would not pennit me to follow out so strict a calculation. As in the pre vious loans, the liquidation having to be made by multiples of 10 francs for the discountable rentes, and by multiples of 100 francs for the other category, certain subscribers will receive—a, -little more, and others a little less than the nominal quota. From all these differences a disposable balance of no great importance will result. From motives of equity I think this remanet ought to be assigned to the small subscribers of 70, 80, 140, 200, 260, 320, and 380 francs, they b e i ng l east favoured by the reduction scale. Should the Emperor accept these propositions I beg his Majesty that he will deign to invest with his approbation th e present repqrt.

MELANCHOLY Stamm—Yesterday evening a long inquiry took place in the board room of King's Col lege Hospital, before Mr. Bedford, coroner for Westminster, relative to the death of Frederick Schrader, aged 27, a Ger man, who put a period to his existence by shooting himself with a pistol, in consequence of disappointed affections. It appeared from the examination of several witnesses that the deceased was a tailor and draper, and carried on his business at the West-end of the town. He had lately been paying his addresses to a young lady residing in Lamb's Conduit-street, and it appeared that every preparation was made for their nuptials, when she informed him that she had altered her mind , that she did not intend to en ter the marriage state, and she was going with some frie nds to Australia. The intelligence evidently shocked the de ceased most severely. On the evening of Tuesday, the 24th alt., he had his last interview with his " betrothed,, when he was deeply affected, and implored her in the most affecting manner to alterhermind, and not go to Australia. She, however, stated that every arrangement was made, and that she must go. From this time a most decided change took place, the unhappy young man became dis tracted, and in company with his friends on the subse quent day said "that he had received his death blow—that his love was unbounded for the young lady, and that he would die for her." About ten o'clock on Tuesday night last Edward Parish, 3SI E, was on duty in Lamb's Con duit-street, when he heard the report of a pistol, and on going to the spot he found the deceased on the pavement; a pistol was near him—he was conveyed to7a surgeon's, and subsequently removed in a cab to the above institution. Mr. Ashton, the house surgeon, who attended the deceased admission, on proved that death was cause d b y the pistol shot gs.

Mr. Mason Jones gave his oration on Edmund Burke at Willis's Rooms, on Monday evening, to a large and fashionable audience. He delivered his discourse without any note or memorandum, and Toke throughout with the greatest readiness and fluency. Several passages were eloquent and forcible, and the general tenour of the oration showed extensive reading and reflection. li e briefly enumerated the chief incidents in Burke's political career, his acquaintance with Fox, John son, Garrick, and the other celebrities of his time; his vehement defence of the American colonists against the reckless policy of Lord North ; his speeches on Indian questions, his impeachment of Warren Hastings ; his reflections on the French Revolution, and his policy on that occasion, con cluding the lecture with some remarks on the present state of Europe. Mr. Jones's excellent memcry enabled him to quote several passages from Burke's speeches, many of which produced great effect, and his oration throughout was listened to with marked attention, and frequently applauded. In speaking of Burke's junction with the Rocking ham ministry, and his exclusion from the cabinet, he remarked that the real reason for his ignominious position was not to be found in the professed excuses of Lord Rockingham and Mr. Pox, but in the fact that he did not belong to any family of territorial dignity or political influence- , --an allu sion to the well-known tendency of Whig states men which was loudly applauded. In treating o the trial of Hastings, the speaker had a difficu 100 091 100 all all 1100 98 3 i I A HUNDRED - 70 0y LoRD DERB.Y: (From the Frtchian.) LORD DERBY'S BETTING-BOOK. In these days of mesmerism and clairvoyance no one need ask how we saw and heard Lord Derby soliloquising with his betting-book in his hand, which, in his most private apartment, he had ju s t drawn forth from his pocket, to console himself after having had to make all pleasant with a neutrality deputation—with those plebeian cits who have no simpathy with,the majesty and gentleness of Austria ' who would not gven draw a cheque of fifty pounds to save her from subsidence in Austria Proper. No v, said his lordship to himself, his little book, and the four walls--now then, is the time to make up for all I lost on Toxopholite last year. A pretty round sum I had to make good for backing hint on the Derby ; this time I'll bet, not for the Derby, but for Derby himself. Yes, yes, the master will do better than his horse. If I can't win the Derby, I say, Derby shall win. Ha! capital. But what shall the odds be, ten to one, or a hundred to one? Let me see, there can surely be no doubt that I am safe to win. Twenty-six seats I know I have gained—let them get over that. Fifty-two on a division, my Lords Palmerston and Russell! what say you to that? You crammed the House to the uttermost, you inflicted a majority of forty votes, save one, upon me, and you see what you have got by it---gained a loss of sixteen votes ! My l or d s and gentlemen, you of the Whigs I mean, I shall beat you by much more than half a neck or so, I shall win in a canter. I really must say a hundred to one on Derby and Dizzy. [Servant enters.]— " Please, my lord, did you call me ?" " Oh, no, John; this gout is, is—very plaguing. John, we should not swear ; but bad as it is, I was only laughing to myself to think how I have dished the Whigs. I don't tell you, John, not to let out what you found your master laughing at ; it may be useful at Chesham-place or the Reform Club ; and, perhaps, at Cambridge House, too. You'll meet some of the servants soon, no doubt." "I understand, my lord, tell them all no t t o repeat w h at I ought not to have told them, and then all, the Clubs, and The Morning Post, too, will soon know of it." [Exit John.] A clever fellow that! something will surely turn up, before we are turned down, for him. Derby and Dizzy, I was saying —why, yes. What an odd race this is. Hem ! A pair of us on both sides. Derby and Dizzy, little Johnny and Pam. Odd that ! Who can say which is first—whether 'tis Dizzy and I, or, as Old Wolsey would have said, I and Dizzy ? Well, any how, I can't win unless Dizzy and I reach the post together, nor can the others unless they both are in first; ha, ha! rich, that. But then my pair are a pair. We never try to get ahead of each other. He is best pleased to be first in his way and I in mine. But those two Whig jades—if one sees the other ahead he would rather lay hold of his tail and pull him back if he could, so jealous is one lest the other should be nominally first. Blockheads ! Why Russell and Palmerston must both be really in any Cabinet they were both in, just as I and my pair; I hope they won't see what fools they are before the grouse wants them, and then we are all safe enough till 1860. Yes, I think I'm safe with a hundred to one for Derby and Dizzy against Russell and Palmerston. [Takes zip " The Morning Post" of Monday.] Oh, fudge—" no schism in the Liberal camp " isn't there ? " The assertion of irreconcilable differences or personal rivalry between the two is a pure myth." Well, The Post ought to know. It was no myth, however, that Lord John turned Lord Palmerston out in 1851 for acting too indepeidently (I keep Malmesbury in better order), and Palmerston paid Lord John out the next year; and then that Vienna business ;—no, these are not myths. "No reason to doubt that, when I resign" —yes, when I do—first catch your hare—" I shall advise her Majesty to send for Lord Palmerston"— yes, will I—" and if the Queen should say she would rather have Lord John, the old Foreign Secretary, who has so willingly assisted so many Administrations, would again place himself at the disposal of his friend." Friend !—hem ; well. The Post should know. " Assisted so many Administrations." Ah, well, that's true enough—a very Talleyrand—none ever came amiss to him. Yet, why wouldn't he come to me ? Only Saturday last my wif e an d d aug ht er were at Lady Palmerston's reception ; yes, here it is in The Post ! I don't, however, quite like this talked-of friend ship; they may both join against me ; but how long will they keep together? [Very gravely and slowly]—l don't like it, no I don't. Ten to one will be safer. [Looking at a "Morning Star."] These penny papers—wonderful thing s t o b e sure , but can't last. Bright's organ, they say, that. "I don't know that person " don't recollect that I ever saw him. Cotton lords !—hang them all ! Ali, but South Lancashire, though ! Well, some of them are patriots. And this Bright broad-brim —DlizY - says he's really a wonderful fellow, and he did us good service last session. Aye, and so he may this. He and his dont't care a rap for either of the two lords. They want their Low Borough Franchise, the Ballot, Church-rate Abolition (hang that cool-headed son of mine), and they won't vote with the Whigs unless Messieurs les Viys give them some of these things. We must work that dodge, then, and we will, too. We'll get it round to friend Broadbrirn, and Roebuck, and Gibson, and the rest of them, that the country will utterly despise them if they sell themselves to the Whigs, and if they 6t.none of their demands in return. And then if Lord John does concede any substantial Reform, why he and Palmerston will never week together. A bright thought that, friend Bright. You and yours will certainly act independ ently. Our journals shall praise your freedom from faction, and your consistency, and your determination not to be made the football of party. Well, then—let us reckon again. lyfty majority they pretend to make out of the returns, although I turned their majority of thirty-nine into a minority, by my twenty-six new seats, At the worst, I fancy, the Radicals will ifm muster man y anag.e moret w h e a l n l, fi o f n ty a — pa the rty y m w o i t l l i o w n a ; l k a n o d u t, I shall beat 'eni, that I shall. Yes—yes--it shall be a hundred to one on Derby. [Enter John again.] "Whose card, John ?" ~ Cardinal Wiseman's, my lord." "Oh dear, dear —well, give him the politest answer you can, but bid him say, if noticed, that he came to sea a Catholic clerk ;—and that it won't suit either his purpose or mine to confer openly—mention the name of Bowyer to him." Ah ! hasn't that Catholic dodge been a good one l The Pope and Wiseman are not such bad fellows after all. They shall do a little more service in the House yet, besides what they did at the elec tions. Why that Ecclesiastical Titles Bill of Lord John's—what a fool the fellow was to affront the Catholics,—that Bill has given me half-a-score votes, or more, this very election ! Well, well, the short and the long of it is, I mean to win—what with the Pope, and John Bright, and Whig quarrels, and Downing -street good things, Derby and Dizzy shall be the winners ; Derby and Dizzy shall eat the whitebait dinner. It shall be a hundred to one for Derby and Dizzy. IRELAND. DUBLIN, TUESDAY MORNING. THE WAR. Accounts from Cork speak of the melancholy and deserted state to which that harbour is reduced by the war in Italy. Instead of a great crest of masts, from which floated the flags of all nations, there is now nothing but a silent waste of waters. THE O'CONNELL FAMILY. A final meeting of the committee formed for the ,urpose of collecting a fund for the family of the sate Mr. John O'Connell was held yesterday, Mr. J. D. Fitzgerald, M.P., presiding. It was announced that the subscriptions amounted to the gross sum of £5,100, which was to be invested in trustees for the benefit of the widow and children of the favou rite son of Daniel O'Connell. Mr. Serjeant Deasy was second chairman, and in moving the usual vote of thanks to Mr. Fitzgerald expressed a hope of soon having the pleasure to address the right hon. gentleman by another title. TRINITY COLLEGE. The examination for the fellowship commences on the loth of next month. It being the first 'vacancy for some years past, the competitors will be unusually numerous. At p resent no less than nine candidates are in the fi e ld, b ut it is probable that this number will be diminished when the ex amination day arrives. CALEDONIAN AND CRINAN CANAL.—A tourist who has taken the field somewhat earlier than usual informs us that, notwithstanding the recent disaster at the Crinan Canal, the communication along that line known as the Great Glen of Scotland continues uninterrupted. The eight or nine miles of the Crinan Canal are, indeed, wholly dry. strewn with enormous boulders, fragments of rock, wood, sand, and other debris of the flood, but parallel with the bed of th e canal runs a good highland road, and omni buses have been placed on it, conveying passengers from one steamer to another with expedition and safety.
