The Report on the Exchequer Bills and Public Works Bill was brought up and agreed to. The Bank of Ireland Bill was read a second tim: Lnd ordered to be committed to-morrow. HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. On the motion of the CHANCELLOR of the EX CHEQUER, a Select Committee was proposed to be ap pointed to inquire into the losses sustained by the Speaker and other officers by the burning of both Houses of Par liament and to report thereon, but the debate on the question was adjourned till to-morrow. Adjourned at a Quarter before Eight o'Clock. HOUSE OF LORDS, JULY 4. Lord SHAFTESBURY, in the absence of the LORD CHAN CELLOR, took his seat on the Woolsack at Five o'Clock. Mr. V. SMITH, and other Members of the House of Commons, brought up a message requesting that the Bishop of Exeter should be allowed to be examined before the Education ( Ireland) Committee. The LORD CHANCELLOR then took his seat on the Woolsack. Mr. Bernal, and other Members of the House of Commons, then brought up the Abolition of Imprisonment for Debt Bill ; the Malt Duties Bill ; the Borough Boundaries Bill ; the Re form of Parliament (Ireland) Bill ; the Dundee Improve ment Bill ; and several private Bills. Also a message re questing a conference on the subject of the amendments to the Municipal Act Amendment Bill. On the !notion of Lord SHAFTESBURY, the request was agreed to, and the conference appointed to be held in Committee Room, No. 5. The Marquis of SALISBURY presented petitions from Preston against the Bolton and Preston Railway Bill ; also a petition from the North Union Railway Company, praying to be heard by Counsel against the Bill. FINAL REGISTRATION OF VOTERS BILL. On the motion of Lord RADNOR this Bill was read !a first time ; to be read a second time on Thursday. i The Lands and Buildings Conveyance Bill then went throu g h Committee. Th e R oya l M ar i n e Force Bill also went through Committee, and the Bills on the table were advanced a stage. The Bishop of LONDON presented a petition signed ;by two hundred an d seven t y -fi ve coac h propr i e t ors i n var i ous [parts of. the kingdom against Sunday travelling. Also, a petition from Derby, in favour of a better observance of the Lord's Day. He took that opportunity of expressing his satisfaction at the resistance made by the Postmaster- General to a proposition for a delivery of letters on Sun day. The Right Rev. Prelate then presented petitions from the Bakers and Butchers of Derby in favour of the jbetter observance of the Lord's Day. The Marquis of LONDONDERRY begged to ask the Noble Viscount opposite if the Commissioners appointed to consider the plans for building the New Houses of Per i ;liament were still to continue in offi c e, now th a t a gran t :was made in the other House for the building of the New Houses, with a view to carry those plans into effect. Viscount DUNCANNON . said that the services of l the Commissioners had been valuable, and some acknow ledgment for their labours was due to them. BRIDLINGTON HARBOUR BILL.

After a few words from the Marquis of LANSDOWNE and the Bishop of EXETER the conversation dropped. COMMU FATION OF TITHES. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE moved the second F..reading of the Commutation of Tithes (England and Wales) Bill. The object of the Bill, which was to put an :end to litigation, and to procure more accurate maps and surveys, for the purpose of carrying the commutation of ;tithes into effect, were most desirable, and he hoped no op position would he given to it. Lord MALMESBURY objected to the discretionary !" . .4 power vested in the hands of the Commissioners as regarded lay impropriators, in whose hands two-fifths of the tithes cf the country were. The lay impropriators would be then r under the operation of two Acts, one of which compel', d V them to sell, and the other to compound, and that was a n, state of things for which some remedy ought to be provided. MAfter a few w or d s f rom L or d P ORTMAN an d t h e Bi s h op rot - LONDON, A The Bishop of EXETER thought it was too much to deprive the tith e owner of t h e protect i on of an accurate survey. He was , h owever, unw illi ng to oppose the in this stage. The Marquis of L NSDOW NE rcp!ied. The Bill was then read a second time.—Committed tc imorrow (this day)._ FORGERY BILL. Lord DENM AN, in moving the second reading of this Bill, would state that this Bill could not be considered as a hasty measure, for the subject had been maturely considere I by Commissioners appointed by his late Majest ) • and these Commissioners had come to t h e conc l us i on that , before any complete digest of the criminal law should be attempted it would be better to introduce a practice in assimilation of ~.. the law to that which was, in point of fact, carried into effect in the administration of the law. By these Bills six or seven crimes now punishable with death would be visited 4 with a mitigated punishment ; and would it not be better at , ,• once by a Statute to relieve the Judges from the exercise of a discretion in such matters ? The measure, moreover, was not hasty, because it bad been submitted to many high legal authorities, and all the Judges of the land were of opinion that the alteration should be made. The Bills related to • the crimes of forgery, burglary, offences against the person, arson, piracy, robbery, and to certain provisions of an Act which was introduced by a Noble Friend, which •:' proposed to make transportation irremissible, and to abolish • the punishment of death altogether. The first Bill re lated to the crime of forgery. When he (Lord Denman) held the office of his late Majesty's Attorney-General he introduced a Bill to mitigate the punishment in thi s case, and the result was that parties injured now more . frequently engaged in prosecutions, because they knew that the punishment of death would not ensue. There was one •xception, however, in that Bill, and that was with respect to forging a will. That was certainly a most heinous of fence ; and at the time the Bill passed, there were no less than five or six cases of that kind standing for trial. These cases were of persons who had forged seamen's wills—a sort of low conspiracy of individuals, assembled in a public house, and it certainly never occurred to the mind of any person that the punishment of death ought to be visited en those offenders. In the course of the last year a case oc curred in which an individual withdrew a sum of 7,0001., the whole property of a married couple and family, and this was done by a party who was not only a trustee, but a bro ther, without the slightest prospect of ever replacing it. Th© Jury recommended the prisoner to mercy, but even in ,hat case no person ever thought that the punishment of leath ought to he inflicted. This being the case, was it not a fact that the punishment of death for forgery was virtually repealed ? Would it not be infinitely better that the Statute-book should be relieved from the odium -)f an enactment which was never likely to be carried into affect, and that parties should at once know that they might ome forward with a free bosom to prosecute where the punishment was adequate and moderate? The consequence of that Bill was, that the number of forgeries was less nume rous, and this was an opinion participated in both by the Bank and Bankers generally. He would now proceed to the other Bills. It was first' proposed that fifteen years .hould be the term of transportation in certain cases of robbery. In cases of robbery, attended with violence, the nunishment was to be transportation for life ; and in cases . if robbery attended with violence of the most aggravated nature the punishment was to be death. With respect to offences against the person, it was proposed that all cast s' of poisoning, stabbing, and wounding with intent to do bodily harm, or with intent to murder, the punishment should be death. In cases of poisoning, shooting, drown ing, though no bodily harm should ensue, the punishment was to be transportation for life, or not less than fifteen years. The Bill also referred to a newly-discovered crime, that of sending a letter or parcel loaded with some deto nating substance, and this was to be punishable with trans portation for life. Attempts to cause abortion were to be visited with a like punishment. The next case was that of arson ; and with respect to this offence it was almost impossible to induce any jury to convict unless life had been endangered. Public opinion appeared to have laid down the law in this case, and the Legislature would act wisely in following it. Another crime was burg lary, or stealing in a dwelling-house, an offence of very frequent occurrence, and a mere act of burglary was to be made punishable with transportation for fifteen years, but, supposing the entrance to be effected in numbers, or to be effected with violence, the punishment would be transporta tion for life ; and if accompanied by attempts to murder, death. To obviate the difficulty, of which every one was aware, of it being left to the jury to say what was day and what was night, it had been thought better to fix the usual hours of repose, and to say that night should continue from nine o'clock in the evening to six in the morning, and that so far as regarded the time acts done within those hours, at any time in the year, should be burglary. The offence of stealing in a dwelling-house, when aggravated by putting the inmates in bodily fear, was to be punished by transportation for a term of not more than fifteen years, nor less than ten. With regard to the crime of piracy, even if attended with vio lence, it was only to be punished by transportation for life, except in cases of attempts to wound or maim. In allotting, however, punishments for various degrees of offences, it was impossible to deprive the Judges of the discretion which had hitherto been vested in them ; for if they determined that, in all cases where a certain offence was made out, a certain pu nishment should necessarily follow, it was certain that in three cases out of four they would shock the feelings of mankind. That discretion, then, being necessary, he thought that it was hest reposed in the Judge who tried the cause and saw the demeanour of the witnesses. He was, however, far from being of opinion that the Judge should give the final decision ; because many things might subsequently come to light which would be proper for the considera tion of the Secretary of State. The taking away the life of a fellow-creature was a matter of very grave consi deration—a step which ought not to be taken without a deep sense of the responsibility which it involved. It was not, in his opinion, a punishment which should be inflicted necessarily in every case of the violation of the law in which that punishment was provided. He remembered a case in which his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Lyndhurst) had tried a person for stealing a lamb, and in which the jury found the prisoner guilty ; it therefore became the duty of his Learned Friend to pass the sentence of death, which was, however, subsequently commuted to transportation for life. Thus a young man, he believed, had been transported for life for an offence of that nature in conse quence of the law then existing in respect to capital pu nishment. In the county of Cumberland he had himself met with a similar instance a short time after, when, for a tri vial aence, he had been obliged to pronounce sentence of death, but had subsequently addressed a strong recom mendation for mercy to the Secretary of State. In answer to that application it hod been inquired of him what pu nishment he should deem sufficient ? and he bad replied, two months' imprisonment. The man, accordingly, was imprisoned the that period. Most of the Judges re volted against the duty which the Act of Parliament enforced on them in that respect, and some alteration was necessarily the consequence. But a practice had now arisen of which none could approve ; he meant that of recording sentence of death.—(hear.) Formerly the course was for the Judge to put on the dreadful cap and pronounce the awful sentence twenty times a-day—a course which could produce no other effect then to raft the prisoners less sensible of their -4uilt anal less appre hensive of punishment ; but that had been succeeded by another practice which was very objectionable. In ail cases where the sentence was not intended to be car ried into effect it was to be recorded in the registries of the Court. He had digressed thus far, for the pur poso of showing the advantages of simplicity in the criminal law—the necessity that conviction sfiould be certain, and that parties should not he deterred from pro secuting in coneequenee of the severity of the punishment. There were several ether cases in which the punishment of death not having been practically enforced would now be abolished by these Bilis. He might be excused, .in conclusion, for expressing his sincere feeling upon this oc casion that there never was a Sovereign mere anxious than his late Maj-sty—(Hear, hear)—t a employ the utmost e iency consisleet with public justice in all cases that were I brought hefore him. Lord WYN FORD did not object to the mitigation of - - •• .1 so ••- • • perty. lie did not doubt th a t th ese Bills were such as ought to pass, because they had received the approbation of the Learned Judges ; but he could not help expressing his deep sorrow that their Lordships-should not have the op portunity of judging for themselves whether the ejdnions of those Learned persons, or of any other persons, were cor rect. If it were to ha to I 1 out to the world that the duty of that House was merely to pass every measure sent up to hem by the other House, the present was no doubt a fit and proper cotn•se to be pursued ;hot if it were frequently pursued the people would begin to think, most erroneously hehoew, that the services of that house were of little value. There were now no less than seven B on their Lordship's' table, t.l - to thy most important parts of the criminal law which hrd been grassisle u, f,r centuries. In the regulation which he lied formerly felt it his duty to issue, it had been far fro m his intention to add to the severity of punishments ; but lie had considered, and was still inclined to consider, that the amonet of punishment should be left in a great measure to the discretion of the Judge. For the alteration in that respect effected by these measures he begged sincerely to thank his Noble and Learned Friend. There was, howe ver, one offence to which he wished to allude—the grave crime of arson—and upon which he must beg to differ from bia Learned Friend as to the difficulty of getting a jury to come to any conclusion. He should be anxious to find out any grounds upon which he could consent to diminish the punishment in cases of arson. lie would not trouble their Lordships further at present, nor was it his intention to offer any opposition to the second reading of the Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND said that if he thought that agricultural property could not be protected unless the punishment of death were attached to the crime of arson, he should be the last person in the world to consent to its abolition ; but there were few persons who were not aware of the difficulty which existed of getting juries to convict in cases of arson.—(. Hear, hear," from Lord Lyndhurst.) Ile agreed entirely in the principle of all the measures which were now to be read a second time. Lord LYND HURST begged, in reference to what bad been stated on the subject of the punishment of death for arson, to say at once that he entirely concurred in what had fallen from the Noble Duke (Richmond), and entirely dif fered from the opinion expressed by his Noble and Learned Friend (Lord Wynford). When he had had the honour of holding the office of Lord Chief Baron of the Ex chequer he had tried many persons for arson ; and he was sure that every one must have observed this—that nearly all the cases of that description depended on circumstantial evi dence; and he would take upon himself to say that when a case did depend upon circumstantial evidence, and it became necessary to put facts together, in order to deduce a conclu sion, if the life of a man were at stake it was scarcely ever possible to induce a jury to find him guilty. It was not his intention on the present occasion to oppose any of those Bills. He entirely concurred in the principle of them. He would now direct their Lordships' attention to some of those Bills, and the first observation which arose wits this —that the few enactments which they contained, instead of being included within one or two Bills, were spread over an unnecessary large number of measures. When his Right Hon. Friend Sir Robert Peel had directed his attention to the subject of the criminal law, it had been his object to consolidate the laws upon the subject ; and he had effected that object in a Bill which was now the law of the land— he meant the Bill for e ge o tha n io s nc o usr l git i m d h a ttihn ti ae n pl g the laws relative to lar ceny,ohenudr ae bd l a e n a and Friend mo o s offences en a c l hl e a s dt proper law.p person,e; to His c which o n Righ t soli d c a o t m e lip t r h oc e : laws. That step had met with the decided approba tion of the profession, and experienc e had proved the great advantages with which it was attended. But now a directly opposite course had been pursued. The subject had been spread over nine or ten diffe ren t A cts, and the object appeared to be to diffuse the laws as widely as pos sible, instead of bringing them into one single compact body. the different parts of which might be readily com pared. Undoubtedly to pass seven or eight Bills in one Session on so important a subject as that of the amendment of the criminal law was a remarkable circumstance. It was calculated to create a greater impression on the minds of those whose good opinion was indispensably necessary to a Government titan to pass only one or two Bills. He did not mean to insinuate that those were the motives which bad influenced any of the originators of these mea sures. On the contrary, he believed that they were too re spectable to be influenced by any considerations of that kind ; but, at the same time, he must say that it was not a wise course to pursue to scatter the provisions of these Bills over so wide an extent. When their Lordships ad verted to the measures, and compared one with another, it would be found that they had not passed, and been conducted, in the other House of Parliament with that caution, conside ration, and minute attention which the vast importance of the subject required—(Hear)—and that might partially arise from the very circumstance of which he had complained, that the Bills had been discussed in that House as sepa- THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY. JULY 5. I'*37. rate measures—that they had not been considered as :oral in.. one system. The offence of stealing five pounds from a ' dwelling -house was made punishable by transportation for a term not under fifteen years, or by imprisonment for five years. Five-years was the extreme of punishment by imprisonment, fifteen years the minimum by transporta tion. Let their Lordships compare that with another part of the Bills. For breaking into a dwelling-house and stealing five pounds therefrom the punishment was de clared to be seven years the minimum of transportation, friar years the maximum of imprisonment.—(Hear, hear.) In the contemplation, therefore, of the other House of Parliament, and of those measures, it was a less offence break into a dwelling-house and steal than to steal from a dwelling-house without any breaking whatever.—( Hear, hear, hear.) Again, with regard to burglary, a party broke and entered a house by night; what was the punish ment ? Transportation for fifteen years, or imprisonment for four or five years, he did not remember which ; but he would rely on the period of transportation. But a per son who broke and entered in the daytime was made liable to transportation for life.—(Hear, hear, hear.) Therefore, he who broke and entered a house burglariously by night was considered by the other House and by the framers of these measures to be guilty of a less serious offence than he who entered in broad daylight. What, then, was the result ? If a man committed a burglary it was a less of fence than to break and enter a house by day, and to break and enter a dwelling-house, and steal therefrom, was a less offence than to steal from a dwelling-house without any breaking.—(Hear.) That was the careful manner in which the other House of Parliament had attended to those Bills—which they had taken three months to con sider—(Hear)—but which they expected their Lordships to pass in a few days ; that was the way in which their Lordships were treated by the other House.—(Hear.) The punishment for simple burglary was transportation for fifteen years. Now, a dwelling-house was a build ing with a curtilage, and any building beyond that curtilage was not held to be connected with it ; yet in these Bills the offence for ll:caking and entering a building without the curtilage was made punishable by transportation for life, so that the provision was, that if the building formed no part of the house the punishment for breaking in was to be trnsportation for life ; but if it did form a part of the house, only transportation for fifteen years.—(Hear, hear.) Such was the mode of legislation in the other House of Parliament.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) He would refer to another instance :—lf a per son broke into a shop he was to be transported for life, so that the breaking into a shop was a graver offence than burglary, which had always been considered by the law as one of the most serious offences of which a person could be guilty. He would now point out another instance of the proportion which appeared in these Bills between the crime and the punishment. The punishment for the offence of stealing a lamb was the same as that for shooting at an officer in his Majesty's navy—" on full pay" too, accord ing to the words of the Act, whilst engaged in assisting the officers of his Majesty's customs—and that not only for shooting at him, but even for wounding and maiming him. —(Hear, hear.) Such were the extraordinary incongruities of these Bills ; and he felt that he should not have properly discharged his duty, if he had not pointed them out to their Lordships' attention.—( Cheers.) He was of opinion that the Bills did not go far enough. Acting upon the principle of them, he should himself have gone further. There were other cases which ought, upon the principle of the mea sures, to have been included in _their operation. He would mention one instance. 'When the Riot Act was read if the persons assembled did not disperse within one hour they were liable to he convicted as felons, and to be pu nished by death—now that, he considered, was a proper punishment to be abolished. He was not merely relying on his own authority, for he was confirmed in that opinion by what he considered the very high authority of a work, pub lished by an author who was firmed for having written many valuable works, both in prose and verse, and who had very lately distinguished himself by a production which, though written in very plain and huinble prose, possessed at least one of the qualities of poetry, for it was full of fiction from beginning to end—so much so, indeed, that those who had read that address might perhaps think it an apt illustration of the lines of the Roman poet— " pictoribus atque poetis Quidlibet audcncli scraper fuit sequa potestas." The historical work, however, to which he wished then to • allude embraced the history of the principal States of Eu rope, from the Treaty of Utrecht almost to the present time. It war: contained in two small Bvo. volumes ; and if any of their Lordships were anxious to read it they might purchase it of Mr. AI urray, of Allseinarle-street.—( A laugh.) In that work the author had treated the Riot Act on the most Conservative principles, and 1 tut described it as a most wise and beneficial measure ; but proceeded to disapprove of great severity of punishment and to recom mend abolition, fur the punishment of death for that offence of disregarding the Riot Act. Considei in wl o the altl o • prised that that provision formed no part of the present measures. Further, there w , re some serious offences ex-• • istii,g at prest-nt which were entirely abrogated by the Bills now introduced. For endeavouring to escape from a wreck there was now a punishment by law ; was there any snilici,•nt reason why that should cease ? There appeared to have been a necessity fur some such pu nishment in order to present vessels from being plun dered but that law had been entirely obliterated. • Ilitherto to adm'e'ster medicine to a woman for the purpose • of producing abortion h•id been an offence punishable by • iaw, whether the woman were or were not in reality preg nant at the time. Now, these Acts said that the women must be pregnant. What grounds were there for that alteration ? If the person administering the medicine sup posed the woman to be pregnant, whether she were an or • not, the offence was morally the same. llis belief, how ever, w• - ‘s that the alteration had not been intentional. He • had no doubt that it had arisen per incupiam—from that negligence and want of caution which so frequently marked • the measures sent up to their Lordships from the other • llouse of Parliament.—(Hear.) There was another point • which he considered to be also of very great importance— be meant that of secondary punishments ; and he doubted much whether transportation was an effectual secondary punishment ; though upon that point he would not then trouble the House ; but in those Bills lie found one punish ment to which lie never could accede. For certain offences it was to be in the power of the Court to sentence a man to solitary confinement for a period of five years. Now, lie was quite sure that solitary imprisonment for five years was not a punishment which ought ever to be imposed. That ' was not his own unsupported opinion, for in the appendix to Archbishop Wheatley's work upon secondary punishments, that view of die question was clearly made out. He would also refer their Lordships to an extract from the Report of the Committee on Prison Discipline on this point. That Report stated that the system of solitary confinement had been tried in the prison at New York on eighty persons for the space of ten months, and had been found so injurious in its eEets that it had been of necessity abandoned. In every instance the intellects became weakened after a time, and unless the prisoners were removed into society the sys tem would prove fatal to mind as well as to body. Having thus drawn their Lordships' attention to these statements, lie would repeat the opinion with which lie had set out, that the Bills ought to be proceeded with at present, notwith standing the advanced state of the session. Lord BROUGHAM said that his Noble Friend behind him (Lord Denman) deserved great credit for the able manner in which he had brought the matter before the House. He wished he could with equal sincerity express his approbation of the manner and time in which the Bills now before their Lordships had been sent up from the other House. He certainly thought that it was much to be depre cated that Bills of this description should be sent up apparently as a mere matter of form, to be discussed and expedited by their Lordships in as many days as the other House had taken months to consider them. He still would fain hope with his Noble Friend who bad spoken last that the Bills might pass this Session, al though he was of opinion that considerable scrutiny into their' enactments would be found necessary, not only of one Bill with the other, but of all of them with the present statute book, before the Bills became law, and their Lord ships had discharged their duty. His Noble Friend had pointed out certain inconsistencies which existed in the present Bills when compared with the Acts remaining on the statute book, and he had declared it to be his opinion that the digest of the Criminal Law Commissioners ought to have been waited for. He (Lord Brougham) entirely agreed with his Noble Friend in the praises which he had bestowed on these gentlemen for their exertions ; and, bowing to their authority, as he did, lie thought it fair to state what their opinion was on the points in question. They had anticipated the objections now made by his Noble Friend, and bad foreseen the inevitable results which must arise from not making all the improve ments of the criminal code to be included under one Act of Legislation. In an able letter, written by his Noble Friend, they said that, although undoubtedly considerable ameliora tions were sure to take place from the introduction of Bills such as were now before the House, yet they were certain that partial legislation would draw with it considerable in convenience in practice. Nothing short of a thorough Re form would be effectual. Partial changes might remove some evils, but great inconvenience must arise from com bining an amendment of crimes with a new interpretation of the same system. Therefore, they felt that to proceed from time to time in remedying the evils of the criminal code was far inferior in utility to a total reform. Such was the opinion of the Criminal Law Commissioners, which, as the House would perceive, was anticipatory of the incon veniences just now adverted to. He had to state to their Lordships that, early in November, they would send in their digest of the whole law ; and, certainly, if it had been waited for, much of the inconvenience now complained of would tie prevented. As tie had done justice to the exertions otk_F U.INERAL OF lIIS .LATE MAJESTY.

The clause was agreed to without amendment. The remaining clauses, after some discussion, were agreed ; ,, to, and the House having resumed the report was received, and the Bill ordered to be read a third time on Thursday. The Lords Justices Bill went through a Committee. The report was then received, and the Bill ordered for third, reading also on Thursday. The Small Debts (Scotland) Bill was read a third time and passed. The other Bills on the table were forwarded a stage. Earl STAN HOPE gave notice that on Thursday heiy , would move for certain information respecting the new poor law unions ; also that he would put a question to a Noble and Learned Lord not then in his place, on the subject of an opinion which he had delivered out of their Lordships'A House ; and, finally, that it was his intention, at the sames time, to present some petitions to their Lordships on the subject of the new poor laws. Their Lordships adjourned at Ten o'Clock. • t • t7l cf ) tt The admirers of Mr. O'Connell are indebted to Mr. Moore, the sculptor, for an admirable bust of that Gentleman, which is now exhibited in the Royal Academy. It is a remarkable fact that, notwithstanding the celebrity, and, in his own country, extreme popularity, which Mr. O'Connell has so long enjoyed, no really good likeness of him has in any shape hitherto appeared. This, we believe, may be accounted for in his total indifference to all such auxiliaries to celebrity, and his intolerance of the ennuiante duty of a sitter. The undertaking, however, of presenting to his countrymen, and, we may add, to foreigners, an authentic representation of the man, could not hare fallen into better hands than those of Mr. Christopher Moore, whose works are uniformly remarkable for strong charac-i teristic portraiture. Viewing this bust from a distance, it, at once strikes the spectator with its very massive appear.! ance, whieh is thoroughly appropriate, while upon a nearer' approach it presents to those most familiar with its original' a perfect likeness, combining at once, and very happily, great strength and subtlety of expression. They find a seemingly , vulgar breadth of physiognomy resolve itself into features of, much delicacy and detailed indications of many combined i feelings and impulses. The phrenologist will consider it not: a little interesting that Mr. Moore worked his model for this bust from Mr. O'Connell's head, without its accustomed arti-1 ficial adjunct, the wig, and that although in the marble this: can be of no avail, yet in metal casts which he may have oc- 1 casion to form hereafter be can easily make provision for the ad libitum exposure of the cranium, with all its indications. Yesterday morning, as an elderly lady, named Dance, residing in Lisson-grove , was cross in g the New-road, she was run against and knocked down by a horse and cab,! which were passing at a rapid pace at the time. The unfor- 1 tunutc lady was severely injured, haiing bad three of her ribs, fractured, and various other injuries. She is unfortunately, very deaf, and on hearing the shouts of the cabman and the! passers by she became bewildered, and ran against the horse: in spite of the efforts of the cabman, who certainly endea-!' voured to prevent the collision.
