Yesterday, more over, the progress 'of business in both Houses was such as to afford some reasonable prospect of the termination of a session even now sufficiently pro tracted. 110 less than seventy Bills—having passed theougli the requisite stages in the Lords and Com mons—received last evening the Royal Assent, and were thus transformed into substantial enact ments- 13 the Upper House, likewise, the Passengers Act:Aenendaleet Bill was read a second ti me , the Copyhold. Enfranchisement Bill passed through Committee, es also was the case with the Militia, Bill, with the Turnpike Trusts Bill, and with the Scotch Mills for Flax (Ireland) Bill, w hil e a second readine. was accorded to the Trustees' Act Extension Bill, and to the Suitors in Chancery Relief Bill, the General Board of Health Bill being read a third time and passed. Yet more remarkable was .the amount of business " get through" last evening lathe Commons. Several Bills coming under the designation of pri vate business were read a third time and passed. Afterwards came the public business, and a glance at the Parliamentary report will testify that some degree of activity was displayed by the Cabinet in dissipating the languor of debate and pressing a variety of questions to a conclusion. Considerable dis c ussion took place du ring the consideration of the Metropolis Water Supply Bill, a variety of clauses in which were agreed to without any necessity for a division. Subsequently tine Metropolis Burials Bill was read a second time, rind ordered to be committed at noon on Monday. The Metropolis Sewers Bill was passed through Committee. A second reading was granted to the Consolidated Fund Bill and the Militia Pay Bill, while the New Zealand Bill, after a rather sharp die. cussion upon one portion of which the House di vided, was read a third time and passed. A variety , of miscellaneous measures, some of them of no tri vial importance, were forwarded with rather unusual rapidity ; and altoget her the activity displayed was such as to y i e ld fair promise o f th e spee d y arr i va l , of the dissolution. Everything considered, the above summary of the more n oticeable business transacted yesterday within the wa ils of the L eg i s l ature must b e regar d e d , we assume, as in the highest degree satisfactory. The House of Commons especially appears to have at length awakened from its lethargy, and to be alive to the necessity for some more strenuous exertions in the way of carrying on the labours of the Le gislature. Occasionally, too, and this more frequently than had of late been observable, the Peers have evinced more energy in the discharge of their duties as senators. Sometimes even the public have been amused by witnessing some new illustration of the justice of the facetious remark made, if we recollect rightly, some five or six years age, by the present CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER :—" Divisions in the House of Lords are nowadays so thinly scattered, that when one oc curs the Peers cackle as if they had laid an egg— they are quite proud of the proof of their still pro creative powers." It will be found, moreover, from the very commencement of these comments upon yesterday's Parliamentary proceedings, that the SOVEREIGN simultaneously evinces a solicitude to forward, as far as is practicable, the business of the session, so as to prepare the way for the long delayed advent of the dissolution. Matters, in trutb, could not under any circumstances have continued much longer in that state of stagnation which was becoming every successive day more and more unen durable. The summer has already become so far de veloped that we are even now within a few hours of the longest day. Autumn must, therefore, be within view before the general election can by possibility terminate. Fortunately, there is every pros pect of a harvest more plentiful than any the country has enjoyed for many seasons. The barley crop has even in several parts had to be thinned. With a dry March, an unusally late spring, and not merely a showery but a soaking June, the grain promises such abundant returns that the bone will be taken out of the argument of the Protectionists. As a mere party contrivance, there fore, the delay of the elections until the summer shall be getting into " the sere and yellow leaf "—when the corn would be ripening and the result of the harvest matter of very easy calculation—would be singularly injudicious. Such we do not, how- ever, conceive to be the intention of the present Government. Ministers can discover no possible advantage to themselves in delaying much longer that appeal to the country upon the con sequence of which their possession of power is de pendent. Rather the reverse. They must necessarily have a larger chance of success by submitting their policy to the judgment of the various constituencies, before the danger of any serious competition between native and foreign agriculture shall be demonstrated by the crops to be impossible. For their own interest, therefore, it will be advisable for the Cabinet to go to the country almost immediately. From a speedy dissolution, nevertheless, we have every expectation of witnessing results, in all respects, satisfac- tory both to Free-traders and to Reformers. Whatever probability of success from the elections the Government may have would be diminished by protracting the existence of the present Parliament. That is all we imply by insisting that self-interest alone should conduct the PaimE MINISTER at once to the momentous ordeal of the dissolution. Our con fidence in the triumph of Liberalism over mere Toryism remains, under all circumstances, unshaken. We have heard, indeed, from the lips of the First Lord of the Treasury himself an acknowledgment of the exceeding improbability, even in his sanguine mind, of a working majority in favour of the prin ciples of Protection. About the indestructibility of the Free-trade system, indeed, there is no longer en tertained any doubt whatsoever. Neither, in a com• mon-sense view of the age, can any uncertainty be felt by the discerning as to the utter futility of any attempt to retard the course of our chief measures of social and political improvement. Tee impetus im parted of late years to reform has rendered its future progress irresistible. A Cabinet might as well at tempt to stop the diurnal motion of the earth 'round its axis, or to slacken its annual motion round the sun, as to dream for an instant of preventing, or of even impeding in any perceptible manner, the onward movement of civilization. When the Copyhold Enfranchisement Bill was re ferred to a Select Committee of the House of Lords, a torrent of reproach and obloquy was discharged upon the devoted head of the LORD CHANCELLOR, Notwithstanding his express declaration to the con trary, it was assumed that he was hostile to the prin ciple of the measure, and that his object was to put it "on the shelf " for the present session. From that assumption it followed, by an easy tr a i n o f reason i ng , that " he was true to his antecedents," ‘i the oppo neat of all legal reform," " the impeder of progress," &c. In vain did the Noble and Learned Lord de clare that it was impossible to overrate the incon veniences resulting from the copyhold system, and that " it was expedient to remedy the evils, so far as it could be done without trenching too much on the rights of property." In vain did he declare "that he did not make the suggestion with any view to the Bill not being passed this session," that "he had no such object, but would go into a Committee with the determination to give the measure his best attention, and to render his honest assistance in carrying it into effect." It was still taken for granted that there was no prospect of the Bill being carried previous to the dissolution, but that it was deliberately and de signedly rejected, the LORD CHANCELLOR having been " more true to his past notoriety than to his present fame." Last night's proceedings, however, proved that we were fully justified in saying that we gave full credit to the assertion of the Noble 'and Learned Lord. The measure was returned to the House in a greatly improved shape, many serious defects had been removed, and Lord ST. LEONARD'S was highly complimented by Lord L vNnuutisT and several other Peers on his unceasing exer tions for the improvement of the measure . Th e necessity of the reference was admitted on every side. Those who had most strongly objected to th e select Committe e now ac k now l e d ge d th a t " th e Bill had been greatly improved," ad bore testimony endeavours of the Committee,, g, to do justice to both lords and tenants. It might, then, have been supposed that t h o se who had erroneou sl y censured the LORD coAricaLLort Would have withdrawn the charge, an d acknowledged the mistake into which t h e y bad . We find a morningt fallen. Such, however, is not the case., Contemporary, in:a leading article this deb speaking of Lord ST. LEONARD'S as "changedhis credit fur so efficient a rn iod upon this measure, and having 'al y net a sufficient apology ' censure. T v , for an unmerited pe nitence:'givin g him T a h l 1 i 13 o i s no c u er r ta a i nd '-- - 5 mistake should be candidly acknowledged as the only adequate atone ment fur the injury p reviously ioli oted. We may now cong ratulate the co untry on the vir tual passing of this insporititiluotnalyndbe ma tters tory, and improvements in valuable Henceforward herioto the way o fbuildi ng or . will prohibitedby a knowled g e o f the draining will n ot be practically c a lly that the of the soil will derive the lion's share of the profit, by insisting upon two years' improved value of tie lands, in the shape of an arbitrary fi ne on death or aliwation, The success attending this measure will encourage the hope that others of even greater and more general interest may receive the legislative sanction during the present and the en suing session, and legal reformers will have cause to rejoice at the happy termination of their long-continued efforts. We should also congratulate our fellow•labourers in the cause on the progress made in the Suitors in Chancery Relief Bill, which last night was read a second time, the LORD CHANCELLOR suggesting, " in order not to throw any impediment in the way of its being carried, that it should pass without any amend ments." This does not look like the conduct of an opponent of all reform, or of one anxious to retard any species of amelioration. It is much to be regretted that the advanced period l of the session prevented the Lunatics' Bill, the second reading whereof was last night moved by the Earl of SHAFTESBURY, from receiving the attentive consideration which its vast importance so eminently merited. We have frequently pointed out the deficiencies of the existing law, which dues not afford adequate protection, either to the community or to individuals. The present measure only deals with the first part of the subject, and does not, therefore, meet the exigencies of the case. It provides for the safe custody of persons who, although manifestly incompetent to take care of themselves, are still permitted to wander about without protection, until they commit some crimes or outrage. The probability of such an event may be well known to the police ; it may be notorious that the life of every passer-by is endangered, and yet no steps can be taken until some degree of violence has taken place, which is necessary to confer jurisdiction on the conservators of the public peace. The present Bill, which provides that where there are no relatives of a person apparently insane, or where the relatives neglect or refuse to adopt the necessary steps, the police may bring the party before a magistrate, who should cause him to be examined by two medical men, and if they pro nounced him insane, to make an order for his trans mission to the county lunatic asylum, or if that should be full, to some other place of lunatic reception duly licensed and registered. If it were rendered essential that every alleged lunatic should, previously to his admission into any private asylum, be exa mined before a magistrate, and the certificate of disinterested medical practitioners, appointed by the magistrate, obtained, it would prevent many cases of grievous oppression, when persons of sound mind have been incarcerated on the report of two so called skilful persons. As the measure cannot pass this year, we trust that a Select Com mittee may be appointed at the commencement of next session, to take the entire law of lunacy into their consideration, and to report on the alterations that may be required. The LORD CHANCELLOR has shown himself a faithful guardian of those who were placed under the jurisdiction of his Court when in Ireland. We trust that he will consider the subject worthy of his best consideration. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. GERMAN PLAYS. The house was crowded to suffocation last evening, in consequence of the great anxiety to see Hamlet in a German dress, the text being Schlegel's marvellous translation. The piece played full four hours, y et there are several abbreviations in the speeches, and indeed the entire funeral scene is omitted; but on the other hand, the scene in which the King delivers his conscience-stricken soliloquy, and in which, while striv ing to pray, Hamlet is almost tempted to kill him, i s given entire. Herr Emil Devrient's delineation of the Prince of Denmark is unquestionably very fine, but not superior to what we have seen on our own boards in more instances than one. And if any curious reader should ask, is it equal to Mr. Charles Kean's? we un hesitatingly answer, No! It lacks the passion and the polish of that unrivalled performance. The play-scene was flat, but the second ghost-scene, the farewell to Ophelia, and especially, the instructions to the players, could not be surpassed. His elocution was faultless, and attitudes elaborately artistical. Herr Devrient was recalled at the end of each act. The Polonius of Herr Limbach was a rational performance which we would strongly recommend for imitation to our own artists. We have never seen Horatio made so much of as by Herr Wisthaler. The swelling speech of the first player, singular to say, drew down the house; hut Herr Noetel's delivery of it was admirable. As Ophelia, Franlein Schafer was not very effective, re sulting in some 'measure from her reciting, and not singing, the snatches of ballad in the mad scene. The Queen was quietly sustained by Fran Flindt. The other parts were respectably filled, great care and attention, not perhaps altogether unalloyed with ponderosity, being a prevailing characteristic from high to low. With respect to the stage business it is worth noticing (as has not esclped the shrewd obscrvation of a morning critic) that, whenever in the principal scenes Hamlet appears on our stage to the right, the Germans place him to the left, and that the death of Polonius is better managed than with us. Hamlet does not run off the stage to kill him, but the arras is in the centre of the scene, and on its being drawn aside the body of the slain chamberlain is dis covered. The audience on the whole seemed greatly pleased, and the tragedy may well be repeated before Herr Emil Devrient's departure from London. HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. Madame Verdavainni's concert yesterday was at tended by a very full and fashionable company. The talented and accomplished pianist was supported by Madame Clara Novello, Miss Ursula Barclay, Miss Las. celles, Madame Lemaire, and Messrs. Frank Bodda, Blagroves, Ap Thomas, Severn, &c,, who were severally much applauded. Warm approbation was elicited by the bencficiare in her per formance of Thalberg's grand fantasia (Don Pas • quale) which was given with great delicacy and effect. ODD LINES FOR " ODD FELLOWS." (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) They tell us a story—perhaps you all know it— Of a father, three sons, and a bundle of sticks; But it carries a moral of vise to the poet, And still of more use to Toms, Harrys, and Dicks. With your leave I'll relate it—and thus I may state it : An old man was dying who wished to bequeath His most precious advice to the boys who stood round him, To hear what a father's last whisper would breathe. "See that faggot of sticks," said the sire," in yon corner, With a withe twined about it to keep it together;— Now each of you take it, and see who can break it, But mind that not one of you take off the tether." The boys in their turn tried their hardest and strongest, But no, not a twig of the faggot would crack; And at hist when the stoutest had bent it the longest, They gave up the trial and carried it back. "Stay, stay," cried the father, " now take off the binding, And see if your might be expended in vain"— They tried, and the father spoke louder on finding That the sticks, one by one, were all broken in twain. "Now remember, my boys, be this lesson implanted In each of your hearts when I've passed from your sight, 'Tis firm Moral Unity only is wanted To maintain Human Peace and preserve Human Right." Now methinks this old story has Gospel-like meaning, That we in " Oddfellowship" honestly speak, For with Unity's band we may laugh at the hand That would break us in bits as the single and weak. 'Tis a great, 'tis a good, 'tie a glorious thing When sweet Charity, Heaven's prime minister, comes, And with eloquent voice and soft cherishing wing , Takes that beldame, Old Poverty, out of our homes. But a greater and better is proud Independence, That asks not for bread with the chance of a stone, That can laugh at the hag, and defy her to lag Near the door that it locks with a key of its own. Self-Help is the secret that makes man and woman Most worthy of Heaven —most noble on earth; And would that this truest of pride were more common, And that rank were bestowed by our life—not our birth. Bat remember self-helping is not the best done By consulting the prompting 3 of selfish desire; The will and the wishes of dear "Number one," Often reign in our breast with Vesuvian fire. For the man and the woman who reason aright, Who as children of God would be sister and brother, Must be willing to widen Humanity's light, And while helping themselves learn to help one another• 'Tis atoms that build up tho granite-pile mountain, The wide and dense forest is fashioned of leaves, 'Tis drops, only drops, form Niagara's fountain, 'Tis barleycorns fill up the world-feeding sheaves. And the links of "Oddtallowship," forged of pure metal, Are able to stretch out a chain of rare power, For "Oddfellowship" roots up Necessity's nettle, And plants in its place Comfort's odorous flower. ,h your hearts, with your brains, then, up, up, and be stirring ! For remember each sister, remember each brother, That Oddfellowship's motto—the blest and unerring— Is, " we help ourselves most when we help one another." Enza Cook. To Charles Hardwick, Eq.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 7,000 bales, of which 500 American were taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The market closed steadily. The sales comprised 5,500 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham at 84d. to 7d., 100 Bahia at 6i : d. to 60., 230 Egyptian 6ici. to 7id., and 600 Surat qd. to 44d. per lb.—Railway Shares were good again. The produce markets have been animated again this week, and there is, upon the whole, fair support given to the prices. Sugar, being in very full supply, is scarcely so dear. The consumption of the necessaries of life is steady, and there is sufficient activity in the manufacturing districts to use up the imports of Wool, Cotton, Indigo, &c: , before they accumulate to any extent. The importance of ascertaining the relative security afforded by different railway companies is so obvious that the statistics compiled by Mr. Slaughter, of the Stock Exchange, with respect to the Debenture debts, are certain to be appreciated. To arrive at a fair con clusion several points have to be considered. First, there is the amount of the debenture debt; second, the net earnings, after deduction of working expenses for the year 1851, the whole of which were applicable, if needed, to payment of interest on the debts; third, the sum actually paid for interest (with the average result per cent. per annum); fourth, th e balance over after payment of interest; fifth the addi tional per-tentage of interest such balances would have paid. Space will not permit us to follow the compiler through his calculation, and we must confine ourselves, therelore, to results. Taking twenty-two lines of rail way, we find the allowance upo n their res p ective debts to have varied from 3 67 to 5.65, the Manchester, Shef field, and Lincolnshire Companygetting its lOUS cheapest, and the Caledonian paying most. After dis charging the interest on their debts, the Blackwell has the largest, and the Chester and Holyhead the s ma ll est surplus available for dividend upon share capital.

The arrivals of English Wheat fresh up to our market this week, coastwise and by land carriage, having been on a very moderate scale, the show ofsamples of both red and white hero to-day was limited. On the whole, factors were firm, but the amount of business doing was by no means extensive, at about Monday's prices. A few parcels changed hands for forward delivery, at full currencies. From abroad, the im ports of Wheat have been only 5,250 quarters ; but those of Flour have exceeded 3,600 sacks and 20,000 barrels. Fine Wheats were quite as dear, but low and middling kinds commanded very little attention. Floating car goes of Polish Odessa Wheat sold at 345, and Egyp tian 28s per quarter, freight, cost, and insurance. Scarcely any English Barley was on show; and the supply of foreign was very moderate. The demand was in .a sluggish state, at late figures. We had a very slow inquiry for Malt, but no actual fall took place in prices. The Oat trade was dull, and damp qualities were the turn lower. Beans and Peas firm, but the demand for Flour was inactive. ARRIVALh TRlb WEEK Wheat. Barley. Malt. 1 Oats. Flour. ___...— Qrs. Qrs. Qrs. Qra.

The supply of Beasts on J of fer to =IWD -day's market was but moderate, both as to number and quality. For most breeds the demand was tolerably firm, at Monday's advance in the quotations. Although the inquiry for Sheep was less active, the late improvement in prices was well supported—the primest old Downs having sold at 4s per Blbs. The show of Lambs was seasonably large, yet the inquiry for that de scription of stock was steady, at full prices. An immense supply of Calves was brought forward ; nevertheless, the whole sold at lat e ra t es. In Pigs, scarcely any business was doing. Milch Cows moved off steadily, at from 15115 s to 193 each, including their small Calf. Per Blbs. to math° offal. 8. d. to s. d.

ANNIVERSARY OF THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO.— This morning, in consequence of the unfavourable state of the weather, the customary military display that takes place on the Parade in St. James's Park, on the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo, was countermanded by the Adjutant- General. The men for the duty of the day were marched to the Parade at the Guard-house, near Buckingham -gate, and were there insp ec t e d b y the Brigade -Major and staff , and afterwards marched to their respective guards. Each man wore a sprig of laurel iu his cap, and those of the cavalry had one in the helmet. The colours of the battalion were surmounted by a large bunch of laurel. In the evening, at the Waterloo banquet, at Apsley House, it i s ex p ec t e d that Mr. Slater's magnificent painting of the banquet (which be Moon's spl en did engraving has been taken from) will presented to his Gr ace , as a memor i al of the g l or i ous ev en t that gave peace to Europe.

The provision it was considered would not be necessary this year, inasmuch as the service to b e performed would not require a mounted field-Alcor. The men, in fact, it was felt would be b e tt er i nspecte d b y en officer on foot, and that was t h e reason tor the omission which his Hon . and Gallant F r i end complained of. Economy had been strictly studied b y the Government, and although th e ChancAlor of th e E xc h equer, in bringing forwar d his Budget, stated t h at the militia estimate would b e 600,000 L, he was happy to say that it did not much exceed 20,0001.; while it had been prepared in such manner as to meet the approval of the highest military authority in the country. Mr. FIUME blamed the Government for introducing so important a measure as this at the lag-and of the ses sion. He objected to the increase of the militia upon political as well as economical grounds, and he thought the Government ought to take warning by France, and exercise extreme caution in adding to our military forces. He considered that every penny WI under tho measure would be mo ney t h rown away. An d when he mentioned, that when the Duke of Wellington was at the head of aff tirs, cur militia expenditure was 6,000,0001. or 7,000,0001. less than it was at present , he becAme apprehensive as to the result of this rash system of legislation, and therefore ho felt bound to protest against it. He urged upon the Government the necessity of taking advantege of the r ecess t o reconsider and revise our whole process of taxation, and endeavour, lif possible, to devise some means for its reduction.

Mr. WALPOLE said there was no necessity for the insertion of the first three clauses, as the object sought would be accomplished by the regulations of the Lord Chancellor, but he thought the other clauses- 4, 5, and 6—enabling partie s to put in answers and swear arn ke davits abroad w ou ld b e a great i mprovemen t, and " would therefore agree to their insertion in the Bill.

HIGUBURY MUSICAL FESTIVAL—Last night the large Assembly-room of Highbury B‘rn was cr owded with a rs highly respectable assemblage of the friends and supporters of Miss Ilinekesman in aid of the fund now forming to as sist her, owing to her being incapacitated by accident from following her profession. A large number of some of our best artists lent their valuable assistance, amongst whom were Mdme. Evelina Garcia, the Misses Messent, Broughams, Lowe, Constable, Crichton, Mrs. Alexander Newton, Messrs. Drayton, G. Tedder, Rafter, De Munck, Richardson, F. Chatterton, Charles Salamon (as director and solo per former), Case, Harper, &c. All were much applauded, par ticularly Mdme. Evelina Garcia, whose artistic and charming voice enchanted the assemblage. Master Ernest De Munck (only nine years of age), for the first time in public, per formed on the violoncello; his power of execution, and ac curacy in intonation are astonishing, and received enthusias tic applause. SOCIETY OP THE FRIENDS OF FOREIGNERS IN DISTRESS.— The anniversary festival of this benevolent so ciety was held on Wednesday even i n g, at the London Tavern. The Earl of Shaftesbury, who wise to have presided, was prevented from fulfilling his engagement in consequence of having been honoured with a command to dine w ith her Majesty. In his absence the chair was occupied by his Ex his Excellency the H on. Abbott Lawrence, the Visco unt cellency the Chevalier Bunse n. Amon g those present we re Alli, the Baron De Berg, Colonel T. Aspinwall, the Che valier Hebeler, Mr. Fletcher Wilson (Danish Consul- General), and Dr. Adam, of Bremen. There was a numerous company presen% During the evening subscriptions were announced to the large amount of 2,529/., being more than double the sum which was raised at the dinner of last year. From the recent correspondence of the Highland Emigration Committee it appears that passages have been allotted by the Government Commissioners to 510 emigrants from the island of Skye, in vessels expected to sail for Aus tralia from Liverpool and Glasgow, during the month of July. These parties are almost wholly destitute, and the sums necessary for outfit, &c., are to be advanced in the pro portion of two-thi r d s b y the society, and one-third by t he of the country continue active, and of fifteen ships a landlords from whose estates they are departing. The de mand for passages from other emigrants in various districts to sail bemeen the Ist of the present month and the 14th July, the whole number of berths were nearly filled a fort night hack, while fresh deposits were still coming in at the rate of about 4001. per day. At the same time the Yorkshire (West Riding) Emigration Association are endeavouring to lend efficient aid in meeting the exigencies of the occasion, and have announced their plan of proceeding. This, it seems, is to be based upon the sound principle of requiring, not . only ultimate repayment of the amount of each loan, as in the sufficient sum to case of the Highland Society, but also of a suffi cover both interest and risk. ppointed A German KILLED BY A.
