CRIMINAL CO URI' —(THIS DAY ) oia) Co UR T. (Before Mr. Baron .ALDERS , N anti Mr. Justice WIGHT HAN MUElDER.—Guiscppe llemorino, an Itaitim, eeal 00, eeier:b,cl n 5 e Fatlor, and Emanuel Antota, enother ae , id 22, a!eo described as a sailor, were indicted for the wgui reorder of Thomas Morley. Mr. B iokio, with whom was Mr. Cherke, conjucteil the prosecution; aed Mr. Parry appeared for the defienee. It flp peered Iran the opening statement of the Learned Counsel for the prosccueon, that some few weelrs riv e on a ,Sunday night, the 30th of May, the two prisoners ' and the deceased were at the Three Crowns public house, in East Smithfield, near the docks, and while they were there the deceased eccidcrsta!ly upset some liquor, but ho retired in order that there should be no disturbance, as the two Eh - Loners seemed dispced to quarrel with him. lie therefore repaired to the One Crown public-house, which stands at the corner of One Bear-Alley, a pkce of a very low description, end occupied by notorionsly-bed characters. Thither the two prisoners followed him, and some women coming upon the ceene a row ensued in con6equeueo of one of the prisoners having threatened to spit in the face of a female cohabiting with a man named Tenison. Tenison, however, who was drunk, was bodily carried into the street by a friend named . Connelly, assisted by the deceased. The prisoners were soon atterwarde seen in the street, and another disturbance taking place, the police came up and drove th em away. It was late at night, but, nevertheless, after the police had disappeared Tenison returned to the court and joined the prisoners again. They renewed the previous quarrel, and Connelly once more interlered to get him away, but the prisoner Antola, who had armed himself with a poker, felled him to the ground, as ho was in the act of taking Tenison with both arms round ' the waist. The deceased, Murky, w h o witnessed the terrible assault, rushed upon An tole, to prevent his repeating the blow, an d while he was restraining him the other pri. • soner, Remorino, advan ced to the spot, when Antola handed him a huge clasp-knife, which Remorino opened and deliberately stabbed the deceased in the lower part of the abdomen. The prisoner then decamped, while the deceased fell senseless to the ground. He was, however, taken up by some of his companions, and as he was found to be dreadfully bleeding from the wound which the knife had inflicted, he was conveyed to the London Hospital, where he lingered for a few hours in great agony and then died. It would seern that all the patties were drunk at the time of the occurrence, and in the early part of the night the deceased and one of the prisoners had a stand-up fight about some drink which had been given to a prostitute, and in the course of the encounter the prisoner received a severe punishment and a black eye. Counsel having addressed the jury for the prisoners, The Learned JUDGE summed up, when The jury, after deliberating for a short time, retired to consider their verdict, and had not returned when our report left. IMPERIAL PAULI AM - EN "r. (THIS DAY.) lIOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took t PRIV - ATE BUSINESS.he Chair at Twelve o'clock. The Lords' amendments to the Blackburn and Preston Road and Bridge, and the Preston and Garstang Road Bills were considered and agreed to. BRITISH ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COM PANY'S BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. BERNAL called attention to the fact that an amendment had been introduced into the Bill, for in creasing shares from 101, to 201., and suggested that the House ought to lay down some rule by which Commit tees should be guided in questions relating to the liability of shareholders in joint-stock companies. Lord HOTHAM said the Committee and all the par ties to the Bill had consented to the alteration. Mr. B. DENISON said the question of limited liability was far too important to be disposed of hastily, and he hoped the House would rc quire that it should be investigated by a Committee before they moved in the matter. Mr. WALPOLE was also of opinion that the question ought to be reserved for a future occasion. The Bill was then read a third time and passed, as were also:— Hawkins's Divorce, Grand Junction Waterworks. Southwark and Vauxhall Water Company. PETITIONS. Mr. C. BRUCE presented a petition from a place in the county of Elgin, against the Maynooth grant. Sir J. Y. BULLER presented a petition from 1,194 occupiers of land in the county of Devon, praying the Rouse to take steps to secure the guano trade of Lobos. - Lord JOHN MANNERS presented a petition from North Shields, complaining that railway companies do not furnish lights, and praying the House to remedy the evil. Mr. SCOTT presented a petition from Roxborougb, praying the House to take steps to secure the guano trade. METROPOLIS WATER SUPPLY BILL. Lord JOfIN MANNERS, in moving the committal of this Bill,, intimated that the Bill as it now stood was the Bill introduced by his predecessor in cilia, as amended by a Committee, and the Government did not held itself responsible for all its provisions, but it acknowleged the principle of Government control, and with those principles Government perfectly concurred. Mr. MO WATT said this was a question of vital im portance to the metropolis, and as the Bill was exceed ingly defective ho must move that it be committed this day three months. The omissions in the Ihll. were most extraordinary, while it had been dealt with in a very restricted manner. The whole question of water Supply had not been referred to a Select Committee, but tlas particular Bill had been investigated by a Com mittee who felt that all they had to dispose of was simply to decide whether or no the 13111 was such as the Homo ought to pass. The public,. therefore, was not heard betore . that Committee, and the consequence was their interests had b e en neglected. What was it that the public bad been so long complaining of ? Why, first, it was the source whence their water was supplied; secondly, the mode of distribution; and, thirdly, the price. The third objection was of minor importance compared with the two first, but he was sorry to say that this Bill removed . none of the objections. The question of supply as against the Thames had long ago been settled; all the authori ties who had written or spoken upon the point, with only two exceptions, coucurren in stating that the Thames ' could not be safely used as a source of supply. Dr. Conyers Smith had, at the instance of the Government, examined the quality of the water in the Thames, not only in the neighbourhood of the metro polis, but above bridge as far as its source, and ho was satisfied that 'it was saturated with decayed animal and vegetable matter, ttat no filleiirg process could render it tit for human consumption, and yet this Bill continued this objectionable source of supply. Other authorities of equel eminence, suoh as Dr. Hooper, Dr. Harris, and Dr. James Johnson, and a great many others were unanimous upon this point, but the evidence taken Were . the Committee which sat upon this Bill was of a very different character. It was paid for, and the views of the parties from whom the fees were re ceived were supported by the witnesses. Besides all the other impurities of the Thames water, no less than sixteen grains of carbonate of lime were contained in every gallon of it, showing thus that twenty-six tons of carbonate of limo were contained in every daily supply of water to the metropolis. It was estimated that three to lour millions of money were lest to the inhabitants of London annually in con sequence cf the hardness of this W a er, which rendered necessary three-fiftbs more soap and tea than would 1 a required under other circumstances. Hops, malt, an dyes, and every other article which was to be held in solution in water were likewise affected by .the hardness of the Thames water. When the consumption of these articles had so much effect upon the comfort and well-being of the people, he thought the House ought to do something to cure the evil. No less than 15,000 and 16,000 deaths in London every year were attributed to preventable causes, and the two main causes were an imperfect and impure sup ply.of water and bad drainage.

There are three candidates; Mr. Breckleharst and Mr. John Williams, the present Members, and both Free-traders; and Mr.C.E..Egerten, a " Derbyite." Mr. l3roeklehurst, who possesses im mense local influence, is certain of his return, and the contest will lie between Mr. Williams and Mr. Egerton. Mr. Egerton, though now, for the nonce, repudiatieg any do ire to restore the corn-laws, is the same gentle, man who, so late as 1850, on the elevation of Sir J. Jervis to the bench, contested Chester against . Mr. W. 0. Stanley, and at that time upon avowed Pro tectionist princ;p'oMember of that great Eger ton family which is conspicuous in the electioneering annals of Chehire, and which has considerable, direct and indirect influence in and about Maccesfield, and pos sessing, himself, vast wealth which ho has publicly de clared he will use in every " legitimate" manner towards the furtherance of his purpwes, it is expected that he will run Mr. Williams very hard; and, despite the great popularity of Mr. Williams, more particularly among the working men—a popularity which not - only in Mac clesfield, but in all other parts of the country, ho has earned by a consistent course of thorough and uncolii , promising liberalism—it is by no means certain that he will keep his seat. His friends are, however, exerting themselves heartily in his favour; and he is facing the vague " Derbyism" of bis opponent with an enviable list of the votes he has given on reform, economy, and liberal measures generally, since the beginning of this Parliament. LITERATURE. A TREATISE ON THE DIFFERENTIAL CALCULUS; with its Application to Plane Curves, to Curved Surfaces, and to Curves of Double Curvature. By Thomas Miller, M.A., FR.S.E., Rector of the Academy of Perth. M‘ Lachlan and Steuart, Edinburgh. " Can anything good come out of Galilee ?" so speaks the sneering Pharisee. Can any mathemati cian exist beyond the Solway ? has been too apt to be the taunt of the savans of Cambridge. Here, indeed, is an opusculum from a Scotch Rector of a Scotch Academy. Denude it of the title-page, and assuredly it will pass muster for the produce of the Cam, and not the Tay. Those best able to judge of the rich pages h ave expresse d no Isitnocreerstwaihnicohpianrieonhoidf itnhtebehsiegh powers of the learned author, and the value of the present contribution w hich he has made to the exact sciences. We hope that the scientific world may hear again of the mai torious author in this walk, which appears to be one where he is quite at home, and where he makes sport and play with the power of figures, which causes our cran ium to spin even to behold. We know that the giants of the north acknowledge this babe to be of their kindred and race; so it may be still said of the land of the Admirable Crichton, " th e r e a r e giants in th e se days. . ACCIDENT AT SEA TO THE MAIL SCREW;STEAMER THE QUEEN. OF ME SOUTH.—This morning information having bee❑ received at the General Post-office that the above vessel, which sailed from Plymouth on the 15th inst., with mails for the Cape of Good Hope, Mauritius, Ceylon, India, Ascension, Sierra Leone, and Cape de Verd, had sus tained damage at sea, and had been obliged to put back to Plymouth fur repairs, the Postmaster-General has issued a notice that, in all probability, letters, &c., for the above_ mentioned places will be in time to be krwarded, if posted this evening. ---- - The rate of money in the Stock ExChange is as low as from 1 to 1 a per cent., and out of doors it is almost impossible to obtain any allowance whatever for deposits at call. At the same time there is every prospect of a steady increase of the supply. It is expected that the Bank ac counts for the week ending the 12th instant will show a farther increase in the bullion of about 300,0001., and since that date there have been numerous arrivals, which must greatly influence the next return. These include 225,0001. from Sydney by the Blackwell, which was announced yes,- terday, in addition to about 150,0001. previously received from Australia by the Vimiera and other vessels, 06,000/. from Brazil, and SO,OOO/. from New York, making an aggre gate of considerably more than half a million. . There have been no further arrivals from Rusia, but ' additional sums are expected, and the last quotation of the rate Of exchange at New York indicates that shipments from that side also are now likely to continue with renewed steadiness, although ttie two next packets, the Humboldt and the Cambria, owing to the former merely calling . at Southampton, and , the latter starting from Boston, will bring less than if their passages were to be from New York to Liverpool direct. • GREAT CONFLAGRATION NEAR THE ST. KATHA nixes Dock.—Last night, at .a few minutes before nine o'clock, a fire, attended with great destruction of property, broke out in the extensive premises belong to Messrs. Hub bock and Sons, wholesale oil and colourmen, carrying on bu siness at No. 114 , Upper East Smithfield, ,immediately facing the principal warehouses of the St. Katherine's Dock. The premises in question were three floors bight, and upwards of 100 feet deep. Several engines were soon on the spot. Under the personal directions of Messrs. Fogo, Jackson, and Connorton, the various firemen went to work in an admirable manner; at the same time two branches wore brought to bear on the flames from the St. Katharine's Dock. The men, however, had not been many minutes at work when a tre men Cons explosion occurred, caused, it is supposed, by the bursting of barrels of spirits of turpentine, which made the front wall part at one end, and it was feared that the same would fall. In spite of the torrents of water thrown upon the flames, they were far from being extinguished 'at midnight; but the firemen had happily succeeded by that time in get ting what is technically termed theimastery over the fearful element, so that no further destruction of property was ap prehended. The total loss must be very considerable—at a moderate calculation reaching to several thouiand pounds sterling. Mr. Hubbock was at Blackwall, dining with some friends at the Plough, when the disaster occurred. It is un derstood that the loss will be partially covered by an insu rance in the Sun Fire-office. OUR RACING PROPHECY.—If the betting offices are not put down before next year, we should suggest some thing like the following as a programme, for the next Cup day at Ascot :—The Footman's Plate—of three dozen spoons and half a dozen forks, by subscription of a spoon or a fork each. Every subscriber to remove the initials and crest, or forfeit Is. The Tradesmen's Cup—by subscription of half a-crown each from their masters' tills by the London shop men. The Butchers' Stakes—of one hundred pounds, open to all the metropolitan butchers' boys. The betting will be limited to the betting-offices, and the final settling will take place at one of the penal settlements.—Puncli. The Royal Botanic Society, Regent's-park, gave yesterday an additional fete, as some recompense to those who were deprived by the rain of the pleasure: of visiting the gardens on the 9th instant. The chief floral attraction of the day was the collection of American plants, chiefly rhododendrons, collected under one vast tent. These offered at one views a mass of really magnificent blossoms, such as is seldom seen in this country on one spelt. The most beau tiful of these were from the grounds of Messrs. Waterer. Three military bands lent an additional attraction to the, fete. THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF ROCHESTER AND MR. WHISTON.—The hearing of the appeal in this case is to be resumed at Doctors'-commons on Friday next, the 18th instant. CAEE Or POISONING AT WIGAN.-4 man named John Nicholls, a collier, living in Wigan, and a portion of his family, have been poisoned by eating some cakes which the unfortunate man stated that he had picked up acciden tally in the street. Several persons who partook of the cakes suffered severely from illness, and Nicholls and a child, about four years old, the son of a neighbour, died from the effects of the poison, which is supposed by the medical gentlemen who examined the cake to be arsenic. Nicholls, shortly ba fore his death, expressed his belief, that the, poisoned cakes were placed in the street through which he was in the habit of ploceeding to his work by a wqman now callcd Bet Brash, whom he had married 18 years ago, but frOm whom he had been separated for upwards of 10 years. This woman and a man with whom she has been cohabiting were subse quently crested, and are detained i n custody pending the coroner's inquest. THE PROGRESS or Locomorloiv.—lt is' understood' ' that a contract has been entered into by the directors of the London and North - Western Railway-Company with Messrs.

SOUTHAMPTON, WEDNESDAY NIGHT. The United States mail steam-ship Humboldt, Cap- D. Lines, has arrived off Cowes, after a passage of eleven days from New York, the quickest yet made by this line. She brings specie value 400,000 dolls. for Havre, and 306,600 dolls, for London; 143 passengers for Havre and a few for Southampton. The Great Bri tain sailed from New York on the sth inst., the same day as the Humboldt. The Democratic Convention had been in session for four days at Baltimore, but no nomination had yet been made; 33 ballotings had also taken place. General Cass was thought to have the first chance. The advises from Guayaquil to the Ist of May state that General Flores had not yet attacked Ecuador, but was preparing to commence active operations. The Go vernment had made extensive preparations to repel the attack, and the issue was very doubtful. It is stated that some of Flores' men were deserting him. One British and one American ship-of-war were at Guaya quil, and had offered their services to the Ecuador Go vernment. Ecuador was in a disturbed state, and war was likely to be declared against Peru, the President declaring in a proclamation that after defeating Flores he would march to inflict exemplary punishment on Peru. The steam-ship Lima arrived at Panama on the 18th ult., with 600,000 dolls, in specie, destined for England. The steam-ship United States and others had arrived at New York, with 18 days' later news from California, and 1,500,000 dolls. in gold dust. Dates from San Francisco are to the 6th of May. The total shipments of gold in the month of April were close upon 3,500,000 dolls. In March rather over 2 3 500,000 were shipped. • The Californian news is not of much importance. Mining was being berried on with energy and with in creasing success. The 'Herald states that affairs were beginning to be more settl e d an d su b stant i a l, an d wages a pproximating more closely to th e ra t es cu rrent in the Atlantic States. A Bill to exclude the Chinese had ex cited great discussion in the Legislature. The arrivals o f persons from all parts of the world at San Francisco were at the ascertained rate of 84,000 per annum; 2,500 had arrived from China in April. Some miners at Marysville had met and passed resolutions that no Chinese should hold any mi n i ng c laim after the Ist of May. At New York there were no material alterations in the money and stock markets. Good stocks were in re quese for investment by home and European capitalists, but speculative stocks were neglected. There was agood demand for sterlieg exchanges, the quotations being 110 to 1107, with sales at 1101; Pario, sf. 15c. to sr. 17e. Hook yon corn had been placed at 37 per cent. The cotton market was unsettled, and furthjr depressed by the accounts from this side received by the Asia. Quotations for this staple are generally ie. to ie. below the last advicos. Mar het for breadstuffs without much variation. Telegraphic accounts from New Orleans of the 4th inst. state that cattea had declined 4-c. owing to the Asia's not having any news. An attempt to siez3 a large quantity of California gold dust, brought by the steamer Winfield Scott to Panama, was made on the 22d ult. When the boat containing the, treasure landed at the mole a party of natives surrounded it and endeavoured to secure the gold. A severe struggle ensued, but tho marauders were ultimately beaten off. A trunk containing• 12,000 &liars was afterwards stolen between Panama and Cruces. Dates from Jamaica to the 29:h ult. contain no news of importance. Accounts from Valparaiso to the 26th of April state that business was pretty active. Buyers from the north and south provinces had app eared in the market and mad fo made corrzevi id i e i ra a. bln p arc h se d • and a fair trade had born done The accounts from the mining districts wore extremely fluttering. 1111002. 1 M0 .. , - H 4YII I%T THEATRE. Mr. Bu c k s tnn e ' s benefit last even in g was si g nalised by the production of a five act comedy from his own pen, entitled The Foundlings, and partly compiled from a French drama, which again was founded on Marryait's sell-known novel, " Japhet in S ea rch of a Father." The plot is briefly this:—Two foundlings, Edward Jacks= and Timothy Dixon, found together in a basket, grow up very different individuals —the first becoming a hard• working barrister, the second an idle, good-hearted scapegrace, whose only pursuit is attempting to find out the parentage of his friend the barrister, whom he looks upon as a brother, but still, is a com ic s p irit of self-de preciation, is quite certain of finding h im out to be the stolen heir of a l or d— w hil e he is indignant a t the notion of such good l uc k f a lli n g to himself. At len g th, by means of an advertisement, he gains a clue in an introduction to an admirably conceived personage, MeleSlt in, who is a returned and reformed convict, having given up rascality, because, looking philosophically at it, he finds it does not pay, and who tells the story of his own villanies as if they were the most praiseworthy actions in the world. This Moleskin, for a bribe—the sum to be obtained by Dixon by submitting hie leg to the bite of a mad dog in order to test the specific of a medical enthusiast—reveals to Dixon that he is the stolen heir of a noble house, while the barrister is merely the son of an ignoble accomplice of his own.. Dixon is horrified at the news of his eleva tion, and engages Moleskin to give his evidence in favour of the barrister instead of him. Now the former is be trothed to Esther, the apparent niece of Mrs. Armitage, one of his clients. The real relationship between the ladies, however —that of mother and daughter—is only revealed upon the discovery of a long-lost marriage cer tificate, which enables the mamma to proclaim it. The barrister's pretended noble birth is revealed at the same time, and the pair are horrified at finding themselves half brother and sister. Now comes Dixon's display of devotion. Rather than that his companion of the basket should be condemned to celibacy, he calls upon Moleskin to proclaim the truth, and magnanimously consents to be a. lord in the cause of friendship. All this seems slight and bare enough, but it tomes out very effectively in the acting. The doctor, with his mad dog, makes no little fun, and there is some good equivoque when Buckatone mysteriously interro gates the mother of the quasi niece upon the birth of the latter—the gentleman all the while thinking of the barrister, the lady of her daughter. The character of Moleskin. too, is richly comic, and Keeley did it full justice. His costume of rusty black, with high-lows brushed to the extreme of polish, and baggy but decent gloves, and the snuffle and twang with which he ad dressee his " cho- ristian friend," were all perfect; nor less so was the stolid, unctuous impudence with which the rogue, who is hypocrite and no hypocrite, gives the tale of his sins and their punishment with the resigned pathos of a martyr. Mr. Buckatone also• achieved a finishing individuality in Dixon. A light hearted, honest, careless scapegrace, all fidget and affection, was never better represented.

"We are here" (on tee Ministerial benches), said Mr. Disraeli a eh.ort time since, " to carry out iu prac tic ) the principles we formerly professed when we sat on 1 the Opposition benches." Every one can see that this iis the only honoureble course of action. Th 3 great object with the Whiga and their Bowsptpers evieeetly is, to show that the present Ministry do their former principlee —an object, in which, we are happy to say, they nave hitherto singnally failed. . t hy, they do more then fail. Every now and then not act out they let the fact escape, that chile they assume straighttoreurd and h nourable conduct to be the dut y of the Government, their real feeling is Lxactly the re verse; and that the main premed of their admiration for Sir Robert Peel is, that he did not, when in office, ce.rry out the principles he professed when in opposition. To Ehow that we do not misrepresent them, let us quote a a title peragraph ' from ti ie ettly remaining Whig da il y journal, as :Ye tied it in yeeterday's oehanne. It runs thus:— " in 1841 te nev''"crnment accepted office almost as urn quivocally as the h o p e and prom i s e of the high Church as of Protection. B ut Sir Ro b er t Peel refused to purchase an hour' s p o p u l ar i t y by ono con cession to the demon of religious big otr y . The late Lord Whar te liff e, es P res ident of the G Council, took up the wink already eketched in out line by Lord Lansdowne, ti e d soo n astonished his friends by es luminous a n expos ition of secular education as could have fall en from the lips of L o r d John Russi 11 himself. Not on e o f the wor ki ng st , ff 01 the Committee Education were di e l ate d. We believe we are borne out in saying th a t S ir Robert P ee l's Govern ment did not make a sin g l e alteration in the plan ori ginally intiodriced by Lord /Melbourne." This is a true repre-entation. But it is imperfect. It ought to be greatly enlarged. When Sir Robert Peel was bidding for dines. from 1835 to 1841, ho was ernie I nently Protestent, .Proteetionist, and devoted to the Church.t was Sir Rob ert Peel who, w h en receiving a denutation from the Chur c h o f Scotland, in March, 1838, said:—" It is hi:via:Ode to l ook at the progress Popery is now making, and the efforts it is p u tting forth, without anxiety and alarm. The reestablishment of the order of the Jesuits, and the i ncrease of Pop i s h chapelsy, and seminaries in our ow n country, s h o w us too clearly what we have t o dread. And lam per we shall again have to deter m i ne the suaded that we shall, ere long, see astruggle ar i se , in which quest i o n whether Popery or Protestantism is t o have the asce ndancy." Who that listened to these wo r d s could have imagined that this same statesman, when ra i sed to Po wer ' would first, by the Charitable Trusts Bia, give to Rornish pre lates a legal rank and standing in Ireland, and the n, b y the Maynooth Endowment Actovould enlarge and extend those " Popiah seminaries," whi c h he had pre t e nded to dread ? In like manner it was Si r Robert P ee l who, in virtuous indignation at the Whig s , when, in May, 1841, they proposed to repeal the corn -laws end to impose in lieu thereof a fixed duty, br ought forth h i s vo te of e want of confidence," and hu r l ed them f rom power. And it was the same Sir Robert P eel who in four year s after, ;proposed a total repeal of t h e corn ! laws without the equivalent of any duty whatever. And last ly, the Globe says truly, that h e served the C hurc h as he served all others. I n 1840 he propose d to vote an address to the Qu een, pledging Parlia ment to provide, out of th e public revenue s, means for Church extension. I n 1842, being then in power, he substituted for this prop osal one to e nable the Church to borrow some of her ow n money! And, as th e Globe says, after having, in 1839, fought desperately against the Lansdowne and Shuttleworth schemes of education, he took office in 1841, and never made the slightest change in the plans which he had previously condemned! Such was Sir Robert Peel. It did not ap pear to him to be at all necessary " to carr out, when in power the principles ho had professed in OPP"i time. ' And for not doing so, t h e Whig journa li st lauds him! The present Governm ent will not imitate Sir Robert Peel. This the Globe i tse l f admits, thoug h y in the most spiteful phrases. It says, after d escr ibing Sir R. Peel's desertion of his own profe ss i ons:— " Lord Derby takes office in 1852, and his first step is to angle for clerical votes by the most unwise concession that could at the present moment be demanded by the most turbulent and mischievous section of the Church of England." . In other words, Lord Derby professed, wh en in oppo sition, to be . a friend of the Church; and now, when in power, he will endeavour to act as her friend. And, while we are writing; a fresh proof of the sincerity of the present Government comes before us. The London Gazette, of last even ing, contains the following proclamation :-- VICTORIA R.—Whereas by the Act of Parliament, passed in the tenth year of the reign of hi slate Majesty King George the Fourth, for the relief of his Majesty's Roman Catholic subj ec t s , it i s enacted that no Roman Catholic ecclesiastic, nor any member of any o f the religious orders, comm un i t i es , or societies o f the Church o f Rome, hound by monastic or religi ous vows, shou ld exercise any of the rites or ceremoni es of the Roman Catholic Religio n , or wear the habits o f his order, save within the usu a l pl ace s of Worship of th e Roman Cat h o li c Religion, or in p r iv a t e houses: And wh ereas it has b een represented to Us, that Roman Catholic ecclesiastics, wear ing the habits of their orders, have exercised the rites and ceremonies of the Roman Catholic Religion in highways and places of public resort, with many persons in cerem on i a l d res ses, beari ng b anners and objects, or sym b o l s, of their W ors hi p , i n proeession, great scandal arid annoyance of large numbers of Our people, and to the manifest danger of. the public peace; And whereas it has been represented to Us that such vioalation of the law has been committed near places of public Worship dur ing the time of Divine Service, and in such a manner as to disturb the congregations assembled therein : We have, therefore, thought it Our bounden duty, by and with , th e advice of Our Privy oaft Otearcilafvlnpalace, to the Council, to issue this Our . Royal Proclamation, solemnly warning all those whom it may concern, that, whilst We are resolved to protect Our Roman Catholic subjects in the undisturbed enjoym ent the ptinishments attending the iotation of religious freedom, w - e are determined to prevent • and repress the corntnission of all such offences as aforesaid, whereby the offenders may draw upon themselves their dominions may legal be endangered. laws, and the laws, and the G p iv e e a n ce a a t n o d u a r e c cu o r u i r t t 3: day of June, in the year 0e o b ur - Lord one thousand eight hundred and fifty-two, and in the fifteenth year of Our reign. e the QUEEN. Gm: , say This is an act by which the r -, --e oeovernment, in the imme diate prospect of an election dares to offend a large class of religionists. Ave e this fitteetith heed not say, that Sir Robert Peel, in his whole life, never once was gu ilty of such a piece of manhood. And what earnest Protestants ought to do, is, to take care that those who mean honestly to carry out the laws, do not Weer for their manliness and ' sincerity in so doing. Yesterday, in the [louse or Comment, the Ham Mem ber fOr Athlone thought p roper to make a p a ragraph in the Morning Herald, in - part at least the ground of an attack upon her Majeet3,o3 ministers. The paragraph which Mr. Keogh selected as thebect of this proceed ing was one in which we gave the credit for issu ing the recent proclamation, and " daring to offend by the act a largo class of religionists." Mr. Keogh seined upon the expression's ofeend~, fore, we admitted that the act and one t hat ought to offend. We do not complain that Mr. K.eogh suculd make the most of the expre si a on But surely he did not really misunderstand tie, We *were contrastieg the manly boldness that vindicated the lel with the cowardly compromise that shrinks from enforcing it whenever it comes in contact with any inconvenient pre oneices. We never thought that the proclamation was that ought to give offence to an e rational or candid Roman Catholic. Wo are De , rfen , l : certain it has not eiien the slightest offence to Mr Kee h. But WO knew, as the Ministers knoW, th at it was an g act which might easily be used to enlist ae t , ai : net them the religious prejudices of the ignoran t and the bigotte d, and we did give, and do still, eu. ref inisters credit for the courage and detertninetion w i t h w hich they ven tured to disregard this. Had Mr. Keogh honoured us by reading the entire of t h e passage in its con text, he would have seen that the- iv art i cu lar expres sion at which ho cavils as' ; 't l troop in the nature of a quotation from a journal to which we were replying. Mr. Keogh, however, did good service is calling up the Home Secretary to give an P --t planation on the subject of the proclamation which, while •it must elevate Ministers in the opinion of every Protesta.nt removes, at the sam e ti m e, every cause of complaint from the Boman Catholics.

We have not thought it necessary to observe that the provisions which Ministers are determined to enforce funned part of the very - statute which Romanists so enthusiastically hailed as the charter of their liberties in 1829. Rom an Catholics surely cannot complain if Protestants in s i s t on the full observance on their part of the letter of that Act. We can well conceive the indignant denial that would have been given by every Roman Catholic organ at that time to a prophecy that within twenty-five years we would have in England a procession of the Host in our public toads. It would have been set down as the mere dream of bigotry. But Ruffianism has been so pampered by.the Whig Governments- since 1829 that Rofnish ecclesiastic's think it now an intolerable griev please. arida if they are prevented doing exactly what they PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

Yesterday the Committee re-assembled at one o'clock, Mr. Walpole in the chair, and examined Dr. Tuke on the proposed committal of Mr. O'Connor to his care, at Chiswick. Dr. Tuke stated that all the necessary ar rangemen's bed been made by the friends of the unfor tunate gentleman.for that purpose, and that he and Miss O'Connor would give an undertaking that Mr. U'Connor should not be removed from the asylum without the sanction of the House. The Committee (as will be seen by our Parliamentary report) having reported this to the House, an order of the House, directing that the Member for Nottingham be discharged from the custody of the Sergeant-at-Areas, was placed in the hands of Captain Gossett, who, with Inspector Beckerson, pro ceeded to execute it forthwith, accompanied by Mr. Bell an d Dr. Tuke. The latter, addressing Mr. O'Connor very cordially, told him he had obtained the permission of the Speaker to permit him to go out and dine with him and some frien ds at C hiswick. " Oh," said Mr. O'Connor, "I'm delighted; you've got leave, have you; you're a good fellow; you're a brick. Tell them to save my dinner here. Let's be off." They then pro ceeded along the river corridor into the principal court yard, where, with Inspector Beckerson, they entered Dr. Tuke 's brougham, and drove along Palace-yard, just as, at a few minutes past six o'clock, the stream of Mem bers passed through Palace-yard. Mr. O'Connor, leaning forward, recognised several Members, and saluted them with vehement gestures. Prior to leaving his prison apartments he discharged his score with the " kitchen," amounting to about el. for the week, out of a 201. note, saying to the person he paid, jocularly, " There, t a k e that, you ruffian;" and settling with the barber who daily ehaval him, said, " Ah, you're a fine fellow—fine oyes—fine hair—fine head—and all for a shilling. There, take that, you ruffian." During his confinement he has written several orders for the strangers' gallery, an d h as consumed a quantity of snuff. Tile only thing of value, besides some notes and a carpet-bag in his possession, was a sort of ornamental brooch to secure Scotch scarfs, with an inscription purporting that it wa-, presented by persons &scribing tteeitelves as the female Chertists of Aberdeen. We are informed that the mode adopted by the present Government for making places, or rather vacancies for their friends, in various public offices, has been this:— They have raised the superannuation allowance—giving the whole income, after a certain number of years, where before only three-fourths was given—with a view of at once in ducing all who can claim superannuation to retire. This pro. ceeding may perhaps be legal, but it is obviously done to create vacancies for party purposefs—the public paying the piper.—Daily Nag,. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HAMPTON RACES—WEDNESDAY. A considerable advance in the character of the stakes —a partial abandonment of heats—so long the staple of the sport in this region, the support of gentlemen who have hitherto looked upon Hampton as almost out of the pale of legitimate racing, and the best entries ever known, were the results of an improved management, and warranted the lessees of the course in looking for a ' full and profitable meeting.

CUORT OF QUE.EII",S BENCH, Jung 12. TEE QUEEN V. TEE COMMISSIoNERS OF LAND-TAX FOR TUE TOWER DIVISION, MIDDLESEX. The Atzorney-Generd and Satieitor-General, with whom was Mr. Phinn, appeared to show cause against a rule for a mandamus obtained last term, to mel the Commisoners of Land -tax f or the aboveco dipvi sicn, to cause the proportion charged upon it to be eq , ially taxed aild assessed, to the best of their judg ments and discretion. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL requested that the rule might be enlarged; neither he nor his Learned Friend the Solicitor-General had had their briefs above two days; the cise was involved in the construction of vari ous Acts of Parlhment, which he had not had time to read. It was the same as the last case (Bradley Haver stoc). The question really is this, what is the discre tion which the Commissioners are to exercise, and whe thcr they have exercised that disCretion. If they have exercised it, it depends entirely upon the construction of the Acts. Mr. WATSON, Q.C., in support of the rule—The rule was obtained on the Bth of May, and served imme diately-. In the interval the Solicitor to the Board of Inaaud Revenue had asked time to prepare affidavits, which be (Mr. Watson) had premised to grant. He was aware his Learned Friends had not had their pipers long. but the case was a hard one. It was for an an nual land tax assessment, and the year would be nearly run out. It his Learned Friends could satisfy the Court that there is a great deal of difficulty, in point of law or in point of fact, then my rule may be made absolute. Their Lordships would not, upon a motion for a man damus, try a difficult case of tact or of taw. Lord CAMPBELL—The rule seems to me to enlarge itself. Is not in the usual course, when a question in volves the construction of various Acts of Parliameat, that it should be placed upon the record? These Land tax Acts involve questions of great difficulty as well as importance. There is a decision of the Court upon the subject, which has not been acquiesced in elsewhere. Have you had time to look at this, Mr. Phinn? Does not it involve questions of considerable difficulty, which it would be as well to hear on the return? Mr. PHINN—AII I say is, there is great question whether sour Lordships will issue a mandamus within the ilaverstue case. There would be a question whether the Commissioners have not exercised a discretion. That would depend on what your Lordships thought upon the affidavits and the Acts of Parliament. Lard CAMPBELL—If this be the case of Bradley Ha verstoe ove r again, I think it highly important that it of f y o g f reati was s h ould put upon the record, because in that case there question as to whether the Commissioners have exercised threw out . The a d 3 isc u ret ° i P on importance; and that alone though there were no other , revising t op w o rhtaatn we , , would, in my op inion, be enough for granting a m The ATTORNEY- G zN:ndamus. and inextricably involved"'"That question is involved, of Parliament, because t , h in the construction of the Acts the Commissioners are to continue question really is, whether in the year 1798. If they h a ve ntijaue quotas which existed and have said, we think we must t exercised a discretion, by the Act of Parliament to cuuctiTtinue, and are bound is the exercise of au judgment and continuo the quotas, which subject, then the qestion will be, discretion upon the fact, the quotas are to be continued wh eth er, in point of Parliament, as they existed in 1798. under the Acts of Lord CAMPBELL—Then they will re have exercised their discretion, and the urn that they arise, whether it is a good return. It is will upon the statements made, that this is a casette clear, almost to a certainty, the rule for a mandamus Which v made absolute, and, I think, it would be bette r at once to do so. It is a fit question to be put upon the r ecord ! ATTORNEY-GENERAL—In the Haverstoe ease Your Lordships discharged the rule. Mr. HALL—That was by consent. Mr. WATSON—The question is, whether they are to make a new and equal rate, or to take the old rate. YoUr Lordships will never determine Icon motion the que s ti on whether they are to take up the cid assessment, which is halt a century old. SOLICITOR-GENERAL—If upon looking in these papers we think with your Lordship that it is a fit case to be put upon the record, we will not give my Learned Friends the trouble of arguing the case. Lord CAMPBELL—Then go on now. ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I Call read the Acts of Parlia ment, and I can occupy your Lordships' time by reading them — Lord CAMPBELL—I think in the exercise of your most excellent judgment, Mr. Attorney-General, you will see what the Court proposes cannot prejudice the rights of the Crown, or of the public, but will lead to the proper determination of tho question.. SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Neither my Learned Friend the Attorney-General nor myself would resist any sug gestion of your Lordship. Lord CAMPBELL—WiII you go on then? SOLICITOR —\V e aro Lot in a situation to go on. Lord CAMPBELL—WiII you go ou, Mr. Phian? Mr. PHlNN—Retilly, my Lord— Lord CAMPBELL— risen the rule will be absolute. 1852. COURT OF EXCtIEQUER, June 16. :Sittings at :Nisi Priuy, b,fore Sir F. Polzoca and a Gimmun Jury.) NEALE V. LEVY. Mr. E. James and Mr. Joyce were counsel for the plaintiff; Mr. Sergeant Miller and Mr. Lush appeared tor the defendant. The defendant was formerly a sheriff's officer and bill di counter; he is now the lessee of the Gravesend Pier and Gardees, a place of public entertainment. The actien was brought for damage alleged to have been sus eiieed by the plaintiff by his not having been permitted to fulfil a contract entered into by him to supply the de fendant's gardens with illumination lamps during the setwen of 1851. The plaintiff stated that he was en. gaged absolutely to supply and light 4,000 oil lamps every night. Thu defendant after a few weeks had gas brought into the gardens, and dispensed wfth the plain tiff's further services. The plaintiff estimated the profit ho would have made by the contract at 2001., and stated that he had actually lost 80/. by the preparations belied made for carrying it out. The defendant, on the other hand, and his two eons, stated that the agreement made with the plaintiff was merely to supply such lamps as might be wanted, depending on the state of the weather, and other circumstances, and that the contract was weekly and not for the season. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff.—Da. maces 401. ANTICIPATED SECESSION OF THE REV. J. E. GLADSTONE, B.A. (FROM A CORRESPONDENT.) It has been already stated that this Rev. Gentleman had announced his intention to appeal from the adverse decision of the Dean of Arches to tho Privy Council. During the last few days, however, matters have taken a sudden and unexpected tarn. It was. thought on all hands that an adverse decision of the Privy Council was possible, if not probable, and that the , ultimate i ssue of the question would be Mr. Gladstone 's compulsory seees _ sicn. But after the strong language used by the Rev. Gentleman with regard to M . r. Shore's e ase, i t w thought he would not dissent till driven to it by th e 3 de cision of the Privy Council, which, in this ea se t . court of final appeal.
