The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woo sack at five o'clock. Lord WODEHOUSE gave notice that he would to morrow put a question to the Government with respect to the subject of the Clergy Reserve in Canada. THE ENROLLED PENSIONERS. Lord PANMURE rose to put a question to the Go vernment with respect to the body of Enrolled Pensioners settled at Toronto. It would be in the recollection of the house that in the year 1843, Lord Hardinge, then Secretary-at-War, had thought it advantageous to the public services to enrol a body of pensioners for service in this country, to the number of 10,000, which he (Lord Panmure), when Secretary-at-War, had increased, with the consent of Parliament, to 30,000. The system was found to work so well, and the services of these men so useful, that in 1847, Earl Grey at the Colonial-office, and himself at the War-office, had determined to extend the system to the Colonies, and bodies of en rolled pensioners had been sent out to New Zea land, Australia, Van Dieman's Land, and the Colonies. The conditions on which they were sent out were, that they should have a certain portion of land, with a house for each man ; conditions which he believed had been carried out except at Toronto, where there had been sent out a body ofpensioners to the number of 220, who he be lieved at present had not yet been settled. He wished to know whether it was true that these conditions had been carried out, and whether it was the intention of the Go vernment, if they could not be carried out, to make any compensation to the pensioners ? The Earl of DERBY said, that whatever might be his opinion of the original policy of the system of send ing out bodies of enrolled pensioners—and he must say he thought it very doubtfu—yet certainly it was the inten tion of the Government to keep faith with these men, to fulfil, if possible, the; conditions on which they had been sent out, or otherwise to make them such compen sation as they themselves might think sufficient. He could not help thinking that it would have been quite as well if the Government who had sent out these men to Toronto had taken pains first to ascertain whether there was sufficient land at the disposal of the Ordnance autho rities to settle them. It turned out that there were at Toronto only 400 acres disposable for this purpose, of which 270 were leased to the corporation, and 9 more were required by a railway company, the bill for which was passed by the Colonial Legislature. There were thus only about 120 acres disposable for the settlement of 220 men. The matter had been very anxiously con sidered by the Secretary for the Colonies, and he had no doubt but that at no very distant period a satisfactory arrangement would be made. • amend the law relating to stamp duties on newspapers. (Hear.) TREASURY MINUTE RESPECTING COFFEE. Mr. COWAN asked the Secretary to the Treasury (the Board of Inland Revenue having lately intimated to dealers in coffee, that no article whatever shall be allowed to be mixed with coffee previous to its sale), if it be intended that this order shall extend so as to pre vent the sale of a fluid used and known as the essence of coffee, two articles, at least, being indispensable for that preparation, namely, water and saccharine matter, as a conserve. Mr. HAMILTON said, the Treasury Minute did not apply to coffee when other ingredients were mixed with it with a view, simply to its preservation. ILLNESS OF THE CHANCELLOR OF THE EXCHEQUER. Mr. A. PELLATT, asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer, whether the Lords of Her Majesty's Treasury, who are empowered, under the Act 5 and 6 Will. 4, to dispense with certain oaths, and to substitute declara tions in lieu thereof, in the Excise, Customs, Govern ment, and other Public Offices named therein, have used, and still continue to use, such powers ; and whether, in consequence, any and what benefit has resulted to her Majesty's service. Mr. WALPOLE said, the Chancellor of the Exche quer was too unwell to attend the house, and as he had not intimated to him what answer should be given to the question, it would be better for the hon. member to postpone it until some future occasion. BUDDHISM IN CEYLON. • Sir H. INGLIS asked the Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether the connexion between the Queen's Government in Ceylon, and the idolatry of any part of her Majesty's subjects therein, be or be not severed : whether the custody of the Buddhist relic be or be not transferred to those who regard it as sacred ; whether any act of the Queen's Government be or be not re quired to entitle the priest of a Buddhist temple to exer cise any function in respect to the property of such Buddhist temple ; and lastly, whether it be or be not the intention of her Majesty's Government to transfer to the Buddhist priests all the concerns of their own reli gion in Ceylon. TENANT RIGHT. In reply to a question, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND said the Tenant-Right Bills of the Government would be printed and ready for delivery to-morrow. DERBY ELECTION. On the order of the day for the consideration of the petition of the inhabitant householders of Derby on the subject of the last election, Sir A. COCKBURN rose to bring under the atten tion of the house the allegation of the petitioners. He said they alleged that gross and profligate bribery had been carried on at the last election, and with that bribery a member of her Majesty's Government was closely connected. He should abstain as much as possible from saying anything that was unbecoming a gentleman or at all hurtful] to the feelings of the right hon. gentle man to whom the petitioners referred. The hon. and learned gentleman then proceeded to relate the circum stances connected with the last election, and in doing so, reminded the house that until recently, Derby was one of the strongholds of liberalism, but at the last election Mr. Horsfall, who had not been previously associated with the borough, entered the field on the part of the Tory interest. At the previous elec tion a solicitor of the town named Lewis, had succeeded in unseating on petition the two liberal candidates ; but, greatly to his annoyance, he found, when success was accomplished, that he was 7001. out of pocket, and, as none of his Tory friends were disposed to come forward with the necessary funds to reimburse him, he deter mined to have nothing to do with the last election.. (Cries of "hear, hear.") He was, howeverT induced to abandon that resolution at the instance of Mr. Booker, and then it was ascertained that an bribing agent had arrived to manage the election on behalf of Mr. Horsfall, and it was discovered that this party was acting under instructions, which he received from a Mr. Frail, of Shrewsbury, the night before the nomina tion. Mr. Booker was dispatched from Nottingham, to secure the assistance of influential parties there, and the result of this journey was, that a Mr. Cox, a spirited liberal, was brought upon the scene, besides a number of voters who were kept under the eye of the electioneer. ing agents until the election was over. Some other sus picious proceedings took place at the county tavern, the head-quarters of the Horsefall party, and the next day being that of the election, Mr. Brookes resumed his labours at the tavern, when he learned from a Mr. Rad ford that a large sum of money was forthcoming to secure the return of Mr. Horsfall. Mr. Booker became aware of the signs by which access was to be be obtained into the room of the tavern where the bribery was going on, and having given information to the police, an officer was sent in plain clothes to per sonate a voter, and after he got in he found a man in the room in possession of a list of the voters and 2601. ' This man's name was Morgan, and upon being searched a letter to this effect was found upon him :—" Dear Sir, —A good and safe man, with judgment and quick ness, is wanted immediately at Derby. I suppose you can't leave the old place—if not, send some one whom you can trust in your place. Let him go to Derby, and take up his quarters at the County Tavern, and then read the enclospd card to Mr. Cox, a solicitor.—W. B. " This tletter was sworn to be in the handwriting of the right hon. gentleman the Secretary at War, and bore the impress of the seal of the Carlton Club. There could be no doubt, however, that Morgan was actually engaged in bribing of voters to poll for the sitting member, while he was brought from a distance in order to cut off all trace to the agency in the event of their being any subsequent dispute. The case, if unanswered, he felt convinced, would be con clusive, although, from his long professional experience, he knew what a different aspect a few words might put upon the affair. The hon. gentleman the Secretary at-War had stated out to his constituents that the whole charge against him was the result of conspiracy, and a sense of what was due to himself had led him to enquire whether such could be the case. The result of these enquiries had convinced him that the letter in question could not have referred to any previous election, be cause Mr. Grail was quite a stranger to the borough of Derby till the year 1848. After a few words from Lord PMfMI7II; the subject dropped, and their lordships adjourned. SOUSE OF COMMONS--(THIS EVENING.) The SPUTUM took the chair shortly before four o'clock. PETITIONS. Mr. G. DUNCAN presented a petition from the Gnildry Incorporation of Dundee, stating that they are deeply interested in the completion of the trigonometri cal survey of Scotland, and praying that the six inch scale may be extended to Forfarshire. Mr. G. THOMPSON presented a petition f in a place in Scotland praying for the repeal of the Maynooth Grant. THE DIVISION OF FRIDAY. Mr. NEWDEGATE said he wished to say a few words on a matter which was personal to himself. He stated before the division on Friday, that he should abstain from voting on the amendment of the noble lord the member for Tiverton, but after the division was taken on the original motion, he was unable to get out of the house, and therefore he was obliged to vote on the amendment. Mr. KEOGH also wished to say a few words on a point of order, connected with the division of last Fri day night. After the motion of the hon. and learned member had been considered, and the division had taken place upon it, a division, consequently, took place on the amendment of the noble lord the member for Tiverton, and whilst that division was being taken, there were some members of the house, including the hon. and earned Solicitor-General, the noble lord the member for West Sussex, and he thought his hon. and gallant friend the member for Middlesex—concealed in a room behind the Speaker's chair. (A laugh.) It was not for him to say for what reason they were concealed there ; but, for the information of himself and other honourable members, he wished to know if that room was a place of legiti mate retreat for honourable members of the Govern ment, when they were not prepared to vote with the Government. (A laugh.) He wished to know if the honourable member to which he had referred, ought not to have been brought to the table and compelled to vote. (A laugh.) The SPEAKER said the rooms referred to had al ways been considered to be separated from the house, at least it was !lot within its division limits, and, there fore, the tellers could not compel members to leave it for the purpose of voting. POOR-RATE ASSESSMENTS ON REAL PROPERTY. In reply to Mr. MoFFAIT, Sir J. TROLLOPE said the return ordered on the 7th of June last, respecting the amount assessed in the year 1852, on the different species of real property, was in preparation, and would contain a most comprehen sive digest of all the information which the hon. mem ber required. He hoped, as it would be most costly to the public, that it would satisfy the hon. member. (Hear.) NEW WRIT. On the motion of Mr. F. MACKENZIE, a new writ was issued for Lisburn, in the room of Sir J. E. Tennant, who had accepted the ste war d s hi p of Northstead, i n th e county of York. Sir J. PAKINGTON said the subject had occupied the attention of successive Administra- tions, and had given rise to great difficulty and embarrassment. In 1815 a convention was agreed to by the British Government, which declared the Bud dhist religion inviolate, and gave protection to its priests, and he for one would be no party to breaking the terms of that convention, though some had said it would not be binding, as it had been entered into with idolaters. (Hear, hear.) All connection with the Go vernment and the Buddhist idol had been discontinued, and the custody of the relic was left with the Buddhists themselves. However, instead of giving the 3001., which the Government has hitherto allowed to the Bud dhist priests, he proposed that they should have compen sation in the shape of land to an equivalent value. Sir R. H. INGLIS wished to make one observation upon this answer. Mr. GOULBURN rose to order. It was exceedingly objectionable to have observations made upon answers to questions. Sir R. H. INGLIS wished simply to ask whether the right hon. gentleman was prepared to lay the papers re lating to this subject on the table ? Sir J. PAXINGTON had no objections whatever to produce the documents. THE CAPE. In reply to Mr. F. PEEL, Sir J. PAKINGTON entered into some explanation of the nature of the papers which he intended to lay be fore the house on the subject of the franchise in the Cape. UNANIMITY OF JURORS. Mr. PHILLIMORE asked the Attorney-General whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Ministers to bring forward nay measure to render the unanimity of jurors unnecessary ? Sir F. THESIGER said it was not the intention of the Government to bring in such a measure. Mr. PHILLIMORE gave notice that after the recess be would ask for leave to bring in a bill to make the ver dict of three-fourths of a jury as binding as it was now by the general unanimity of the whole jury. As. the King reached Athens on the 2d, the British Minister subsequently consented to detain his mes senger until the 4th, the Greek Government en gaging to place the steamer Otho at his disposal. As there was a want of unanimity in the Cabinet, the messenger left on the 4th without any positive reply, but on the following day it was decided that M. Tricoupi should act as plenipotentiary, and the French Admiral placed the steamer Chaptal at the service of the Greek Government. A courier was accordingly sent off immediately to Trieste with in structions to give the Queen's messenger a note for M. Tricoupi. It is believed that that, gentleman has received instructions to agree to anything which is not opposed to the Charter and the arrangement made at Munich. GERMANY. The cholera has entirely subsided in Berlin. No new cases have occurred for the last few days. From the commencement of the epidemic there have been only 235 attacks and 157 deaths, which, among a population of 450,000, is far below the average usual mortality. In West Prussia, and particularly along the Vistula, the disease has been very severe : 8,557 cases, 5,251 of which were fatal among a population not exceeding that of Berlin. The cholera is now, it seems, making progress in St. Petersburg ; upwards of forty cases were re ported on the last day to which our news extended. The disease seems this year to follow the isogonic line of terrestrial magnetism, and turn its course northward, in which case it will not touch Eng land. ECCLESIASTICAL COURTS. In reply to Mr. COLLIER, Mr. WALPOLE salt the hon. member wail wrong in mlPPosing that a distinct commission had been appointed to inquire into the ecclesiastical courts ; it was only an eof xtension of the Chancery Commission, by the addition certain civilians, for the purpose of in qu i r i ng i n t o t h e jurisdicti on of all the courts. The Government proposed to bring in la rßc and comprehensive measure on the subject. Cot N ,,, An Hon Mela ft ' ve F RANCHISE.

Mr. HUMS gave notice that on Thursday next he should as k t h e Government w h e th er they intended t o introduce any measures f or th e pur pose of apportioning the number of votersjto the extent of population. THE BALLOT. Mr. H. BERKELEY gave notice that after Christ mas, he should move for leave to bring in a bill pro viding that the votes for members of Parliament should be taken by ballot. THE STAMP DIES ON NEWSPAPERS. The ATTORNEY-GENERA.L gave notice that to- , morrow he would ask for leave to bring in r. bill to THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER, 29, 1852. and by the side of a cab which was drawn up to the pavement. He took the precaution of taking his num ber, and then desired him to drive off. Accompanied by a man, the prisoner jmo, rod on *he box and drove a\vay. Webb, the detective officer, deposed that by knowing the number of the'cab, he was enabled to trace the pri soner to his lodgings in the Old Kent-road, where he found him in bed asleep. The prisoner admitted that he was the man who drove the cab, but he knew nothing of any one else ; he had had a drop too much. The Lord Mayor said the circumstances were suffi cient to justify him in remanding the prisoner until Monday (this day). The value of the property stolen amounts to nearly 1,7001. BOW-STREET.—Mr. W. Goode, a tobacconist, of 199, Strand, and Ludgate-hill, was summoned before Mr. Henry, charged with having exhibited for sale in his shop window, a pipe, upon which therewas an inde cent illustration. Mr. Clarkson, the barrister, appeared to conduct the prosecution on the part of the Society for the Suppres sion of Vice, and stated that for some time past the at tention of the officers of the society had been frequently directed to the indecent and disgusting pictures which were displayed upon the pipes, snuff-boxes, &c., in the shop-windows of many of the apparently respectable tobacconists in the metropolis. In one of the defen dant's windows a pipe was exposed to view in a con spicuous place, upon which we re p a i n t e d t h e fi gures of Leda and the Swan, with a degree of boldness and ob scenity which was calculated to disgust every decent passer by. Mr. Pritchard, the secretary of the society, caused a letter to be addressed to Mr. Goode, requesting him to withdraw the offensive article from his window, or proceedings would be taken against him. No notice whatever was taken of the communication, and the pipes continued to be exhibited. Mr. Lewis, the attorney who attended for the defence, begged to be permitted to state, before the case was fur ther proceeded with, that his client, immediately on the receipt of the letter alluded to, had written to the secre tary of the society, explaining to him why the pipe was not instantly withdrawn. He had directed his shopman to remove all articles of an indelicate nature, and he was not aware until the arrival of the summons that his orders had not been obeyed, the shopman having placed the offending pipe at the back of the window, instead of taking it away altogether. Mr. Clarkson said a letter had certainly been received by Mr. Pritchard, after the summons had been issued, in which Mr. Goode promised to discontinue the sale of the Leda, but he ought to have answered the first communi cation, and then the pledge would have looked more sincere. Evidence having been given of the purchase of the pipe by one of the society's agents, who gave 21. 10s. for it, Mr. Lewis offered two grounds of defence. He said his client was quite willing to return his stock of the Leda and the Swan pipes to the consignor in Vienna, and, secondly, that the picture itself was not more indecent than other illustrations of the same incident in heathen mythology, which were openly exhibited at the British Museum and other exhibitions of works of art. He contended that the copies of the Greek Slave and the Venus would be open to the same objection. However, if his worship considered that the picture in question came under the sth of Geo. IV., c. 83, Mr. Goode would bow to the decision, and give an undertaking that he would never expose another of the kind for sale in either of his shops. Mr. Henry had no hesitation in saying that the expo sure of these pipes openly in shop windows was obscene and disgusting in the extreme, and if called upon to do so, he was quite p re p are d t o conv i c t t h e d e f endant. Mr. Lewis submitted that his client having at once removed the pipe from his Ludgate-hill establishment, and the promise to discontinue the , sale of it, were grounds for the withdrawal of the prosecution. Mr. Clarkson said the society would not press for judgment if security were given for the future. Mr. Henry said he would adjourn the summons for two months, and if during that time anything of an in decent nature was found in the defendant's shop he would commit him to prison for three months. Mr. William Oldburn, another tobacconist, of 425, New Oxford-street, was charged with having exhibited an indecent ivory figure made to serve as a tobacco stopper._ In this case it was proved that one of the society's agents purchased the article complained of, which was the representation of a female in a state bordering on nudity, having on only a collegian's cap and gown, the latter being thrown back in a manner, which at once suggested gross indecency. Mr. Lewis set up a similar defence as in the last case. Mr. Henry said it was absurd and idle to compare such indecent productions, which were especially intended to be offensive, with such works of art as Power' s'Greek Slave, and others which were rather suggestive of mo desty than the reverse. It was a mistake to suppose that nakedness was the test of indecency. But it was neither necessary nor convenient to define the limits of such things in a crowded court ; but every right-minded person needed not to be told the distinction between a graceful and beautiful statue and a figure designed by its attire and attitude for an offensive purpose. He should grant the same indulgence in this case as the last but with the same punishment if the offence were re peated—viz., three months' imprisonment. After some further discussion, Mr. Goode was ordered to pay 51. 55., and 2/. 10s. the price of the pipes ; and Mr. Oldburn was adjudged to pay 51. ss. Both the de fendants to pay costs. MARLBOROUGH.STREET.—Count henry Mum. Thoss was charged before Mr. Hardwick with obtaining money under fraudulent pretences from Mr. Samuel Webb, music seller, 33, Soho-square. The prisoner was at this court a few weeks ago upon a similar charge. It appeared, from Mr. Webb's evidence, that the prisoner was introduced to him about the sth instant by a Mr. Bowdry, who said he wanted to purchase a piano. The prisoner did purchase a piano, which was to be paid for in cash, but he gave a bill for 471. ss. at two months instead. A few days after this, he called at Mr. Webb's shop, and said he wanted some cash, as he had been playing at cards with some noblemen, and had been very unfortunate. The prisoner said he had plenty of security to give to anybody who would advance money. Prisoner then opened his pocket book, and showed a number of Austrian papers with stamps on them, which h e sa id were worth 2001. ea c h, an d th at his bankers would rea dily advance 1601. on each of the bonds as a security, and pressed witness to let him have some cash on these securities. He told him he was not a money lender, and having no more money than he required for his own business, he could not accommodate him. He told him that his (witness's) cousins in the City, Messrs. Venn and Sons, notaries would know the value of the papers, and if prisoner would call on Monday, he would endeavour to see them and learn what they would advance on them ; and he asked prisoner to let him have one of the papers to show them. Prisoner declined to do so, but he gave witness a memorandum of them, and said he could inquire what was the value of such property. Witness was prevented going into the City as he had intended, and on the following Monday prisoner called, and witness was chagrined at not having performed his promise, and told him so. He said, " Have you any cash in the house ?" Witness told him he had not ; but he pressed witness very much to lend him 301. on the paper produced, which, he said, was an Austrian bond, and that witness could get 1601. upon it by going to No. 5, Angel-court, City, to his bankers. He left the paper, and witness advanced him five sovereigns, and gave him a cheque for 251. on the Commercial Bank. Prisoner two days afterwards called and said he wanted 101. more, which he advanced him. He said the security was so valuable that witness need be under no apprehen sion of sustaining any loss. When witness gave him the last sum, he asked him to give him a memorandum to the effect that witness would give up the alleged bond when he paid the money on the following Saturday. Witness did so, but on making inquiries afterwards he ascertained that the alleged bond was worthless. It was upon the faith of the prisoner's representations that he advanced him the money. It was proved that on inquiry in Angel-court, the answer was that the bond was quite valueless, and the same answer was returned at Messrs. Rothschild's. Mr. Lewis, who attended for the prisoner, said there was not sufficient evid ence t o susta i n the charge.' Mr. Hardwick, however, remanded him to Tuesday next without bail. CLERICENWELL.—CorneIius Loughlin, a smart, genteel young man, was charged with robbing his em ployers, Messrs. Hunt and Roskell, the well-known jewellers, of 26, Harrison-street, Gray's-inn-road. Mr. Wakeling, the solicitor, was retained for the pro se cution . The prisoner and his father had worked several years in the manufactory of the prosecutors, who had of late been plundered to such an extent that they deemed it prudent to seek the advice of Sergeant Smith, the detec tive officer of the E division, and that officer took the prisoner into custody, with 53 oz. and 10 pennyweights of silver in his possession, belonging t o M essrs. Hunt and Rosk e ll, as h e was leaving their premises. The accused at once voluntarily and freely confessed his guilt, admitting that he alone was implicated in the robberies on the firm recently, and that the silver he had stolen he bad sold to Mr. Holmes, of 301, High Holborn, the last sale being to the amount of Si. There were, however, some very remarkable features in the affair, which Mr. Holmes was bound to explain, the prisoner asserting that, on one occasion, he received only 12s. 6d. for 8 oz. of silver, worth ss. 3d p er ounce , and at another ti me 7 s . 6d. or 4i oz. of the same metal. The silver found on the prisoner was produced. There -q one ingot —the rest was from one inch to four inches in size, Mr. Holmes was examined—He said he had made .purchases of silver from the prisoner to the amount of about 251., and he paid him at the rate of 45., 4s. 3d., and 4s. 6d. an ounce, and never less. Mr. Tyrwhitt severely censured him from buying at all from such a young man. It was an awfully danger ous facility to work the destruction of youth, and he must say that Mr. Holmes did not stand in an enviable situation. Mr. Wakeling observed that there were many circum stances yet to be considered before the prisoner was finally committed, and he prayed that he be remanded. Mr. Tyrwhitt agreed, and ordered the prisoner to stand fore him again next week. mitted on the charge, a n d to be brought be acutely his degraded p yositionoung man seemed t o f eel very SALT IN IRELAND.—A company is about being formed in Belfast, with a capital o f 50, 000/., to work the salt mines which have been discovered on the Marquis of Downshire's estate at Duncrue. In connexion with the preparation of the salt for commerce, chemical works are to be established, which will enable the company not only to supply manufacturers with bleeching materials, b u t t o export them in large quarditivi t 0 other countries, (Left Speaking.) BELGIUM. On the 25th of the present month a proposition was laid before the Chambers for the conversion of the Belgian Five per Cents. into Four-and-a-Half per Cents. The greatest part of the Five per Cent. Debt was to be included in this law. A committee has been sitting upon the project, and the principle and the favourable nature of the present juncture have not been disputed. In the committee, however, it was proposed that a reduction of one per cent. should be made. The amendment was adopted by a majority of four voices, subject to the approbation of the Minister of Finance. The committee reassembled on the 28th, when the Minister was heard, and the preceding amendment rejected by a majority of five votes. It is thought that the Chambers will now proceed immediately with th e di scuss i on o f the project. GREME.

A dreadful occurrence took place on Wednesday, near Celbridge, when a notorious and most desperate cha racter, named Philip Smith, met his death under the following awful circumstances :—lt appeared that on the 12th of October last, Smith had planned the robbery, and broken into the house of a gentleman resident near Clonee, in this county. A party of the Clonee consta bulary, however, succeeded in apprehending him on the occasion. He was handcuffed heavily, after a desperate resistance, and taken by them to their barrack at Clonee for the night ; but at an early hour on the following morning, the 13th, he contrived to effect his escape, manacled as he was. The constabulary were in imme diate and active pursuit. He was traced to Blanchards town, and there it was ascertained that he had turned off in the direction of Swords. For the time, how. ever, further trace of him was lost. A horrifying coin cidence as to date and place here presents itself. It may be in the recollection of our readers that it was upon the uight of the 13th ult., within two miles of Swords, that the illfated •h: brother and sistar, were brutally murdered in • elfin g on Mr. Mangan's farm, and that since tha - dno clue whatever has been disco vered to lead to the detection of the perpetrator of the crime. After his escape from the police barrack, the first time the constabulary, we understand, became cog nizant of his whereabouts, was towards the middle of the present month, when there was reason to suppose that he was lurking in the neighbourhood of Celbridge. Close but ineffectual search was made for him until the 18th inst., when, while Constable Richard Stafford, of that station, was conveying a prisoner named Thomas Reilly, arrested under a warrant, to the station-house, Smith suddenly appeared from behind a ditch, rushed on the constable, and discharged two shots at him, both of which took effect, dangerously wounding him in the neck. Since that the constabulary of the district have been unceasing in their exertions to effect his capture. On the afternoon of Wednesday, as a party, consisting of four men of the force, were on day patrol in the neighbourhood, they applied at a house for admission, but were refused, and were about to enforce their de mand for entrance when Smith rushed out, bearing in one hand a double-barreled pistol, in the other a blun derbuss. The police at once challenged him to surrender himself their prisoner. He answered No ; that before they could take him he was sure of taking one of their lives at least. As he said this he raised one of the pieces with which he was armed, and was in the act of firing, when one of the police discharged his carabine at him with, as it proved, fatal effect. Almost at the some instant Sub-Constable John Waldron received the con tents of Smith's pistol or blunderbuss in the mouth, which, with one of his jaws, was dreadfully shattered, the wound inflicted on him being altogether of a very serious character.

CASTLE AvoN, by the author of " EMILIA WYNDHAM." The popular author of "Emilia Wyndham" has just produced a new work of fiction, which, while retaining the truthfulness and pathos which formed the charm of that admirable narrative, aims at a higher range of cha racters, coupled with incidents of a more romantic na ture. Such is " Castle Avon," the last work of this favourite writer • and in the chara c t er o f Lady Aylmer the reader will find a source of inter es t as d eep as any he has ever drawn upon, while in the fashionable Mrs. Gorhambury, the aristocratic Lady Marion, the impul sive Philip Gorhambury, and his unprincipled father - , he will recognise the extraordinary talent in pourtrayi ng human nature in its most striking aspects that has so frequently exercised its salutary influence over hi m . NEW RAILWAY SCHEME. Another new railway scheme has been announced, under the title of the "Tynemouth Dock, and Morpeth and Shields Direct Railway Company," with a capital of 300,0001., of which it is stated, 120,0001. has already been taken up. Th e object is the formation of deep water docks for the ac commodation of the trade of the river Tyne, which up to this time has been deprived of this advantage ; a n d of a railway to run to Morpeth, a distance of 15 miles, with a short branch to the Duke of Portland's coal field. A large portion of the company's profits is expected to be derived from the coal traffic, offers of which, to a con siderable extent, have already been made. The en gineers are Messrs. Locke and Herrington, and the di rectors state that eminent contractors have offered to lease the railway and docks for 14 years from the com pletion of the works, at a minimum rent of 5 per cent. per annum, with half profits beyond this rate. This offer is to be submitted to the shareholders within four months from the passing of the company's act. COST OF PROCEEDINGS IN LTJNACY.—A return has been printed by order of the House of Lords respecting the cost in lunacy matters. For a commission the fees and charges usually amount to 61. 10s. 2d. It is added, " the cost of the commission, independent of the fees and charges, and stamp duty above referred to, varies with the circumstances of the case." This variation applies to all other fees and charges. The fees of a grant of custody are 171. 4s. 4d. ; for repairs, 11/. Bs. 2d. ; for a lease, 11/. 6s. 10d.; for a new committee, 251. 14s. ; for varying maintenance, 17L. Os. Bd. ; and for °pelting and depositing a will, 61. 7s. 6d. Since the act of 1842, the inquiry under a commission has lasted more than one day in 20 cases, and more than two days in 50 cases. ACTS OF PARLIAMENT,—An amended return respect ing Acts of Parliament has been printed. From 1800 to 1852 the Legislature passed 17,120 Acts of Parliament.

He called her a fiend, a devil; and, taking up a ruler, he flourished it in her face, and swore she wanted her head knocked off. Mr. Drabble was a highly-re spectable witness, and why had he not been called ? The learned counsel Submitted A was for the other side to make out a ca se of cruelty an d a d u lt er y, an d h e sa id h e defied them to d o so. Mrs. R ow l e y was an ir r it a bl e woman, and her husband might have held her by the arms to prevent her inflicting violence upon him. Dr. Addams brieflybrieflycompletely The Chancell or said he out her case. h e certainly should not grant the prayer for restit ut i on of con j uga l r ights, but h e s h ou ld take time to consider the other ques ti o n. Before the rising of the Court, th e Chancellor gave judgment for a divorce, but on the ground of cruelty only. He said h e should make no order as to costs. 'OUCE INTELLIGENCE. was brought u MANSION- —_—..----- RousE _John Harris, a cab-driver, detective force, on suspicion of being concerned i n th e tat the bu rg l ary P, charged by Webb and Scott, of the City daring b urglary at Messrs. Deane, Dray, and Co.'s, jewellers, cutlers, and Sheffield manu factu rers , of King William - street, London-bridge, when property of l arge amount was ab s t racted T h ere is every reason to b e li eve o'clock o n Th ursday morning, b ut it was not discovered until sev en , when, was comm itted between one and t wo on the warehouse being ope ne d by party wh o h a d charge of the prem i ses , it was found that they had been entered and plundered of watches, &c., to a consider a bl e amount. A slight examination of the place showed that not the slightest precaution had b een taken in secu r i ng i t from the attac k o f thieves, Appa rently the ent rance had been e ff ec t e d by one of the bur glars mounting the shoulders of the other and getting on to the coping over the shop front. Accomplishing that, little difficulty would be experienced in walking along to the window in Arthur-street ; the window and a kind of wire blind offered but little obstacle to obtaining admittance. Being prepared, with lucifers, a light was quickly obtained, and a selection of the more valuable portion of the stock commenced. The circumstances which led to the apprehension of the prisoner are these : City police-officer, 556, said that on Thursday morn ing between half-past one and two o'clock, he saw the prisoner standing on the curb of ArthurAtreet Bast, Mr. James and Mr. Udall v?erefOrtheplaintiff, and Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. Huddleston for the defendants. This was an action of assault and battery. The three defendants were father, mother, and son. The son pleaded that the plaintiff had first assaulted him, and the father and mother pleaded that they had committed the assault in defence of their son. It appeared in evidence that on the Bth of July last, he plaintiff, who was a tailor, then residing in Belgrave mews East, had taken a bet from the elder defendant of three half-crowns to one on the result of the Westminster election. The defendant gave the odds that General Evans would not have a majority of 400 over Lord Maidstone, and the plaintiff took the odds. When the election was over, the younger defendant said that he had got a list of the numbers, but the plaintiff snatched the paper out of his hands, and would not give it to him again. Hence arose a quarrel, in the course of which the younger defendant struck the plaintiff with his own sleeve-board, and the ulna bone of the plaintiff's arm was broken. The plaintiff's witnesses swore that all the violence proceeded from the defendants, who burst into the plaintiff's room, and commenced a furious attack upon him. The defendants' witnesses stated that the plaintiff provoked the younger defendant by the most annoying and insulting language ; and that the younger defendant ran up to the plaintiff's room, on which the plaintiff took up a poker and struck at him, and that whatever the younger defendant had done had been in his own defence. Mrs. Stevens was described as having only interfered to ry and put an end to the contest. The fury returned a verdict for the plaintiff, damages one farthing, as against the younger defendant, aid a verdict for the other two defendants. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. IN RE WISTANLEY AND WISTANLEY. This was a sitting appointed for the last examination in the matter of Edward Winstanley and Henry G. Winstanley, of No. 7, Poultry, chymists and druggists.

Passed accordingly. PREROGATIVE COURT. MACK AGAINST MACK, BY HER GUARDIAN. This was a testamentary suit, arising out of the last will of Mr. William Mack, of Dunham, in the county of Norfolk, who died on the 9th day of May, 1851, pos sessed of personal estate amounting to about 13,0001. The instrument was dated the • 18th of May, 1850, and t appeared that two days after its execution, the testator became a confirmed lunatic. Under the will the whole of his estate was given to his wife absolutely, and con stituted her sole executrix. A child was born subse quently to the period at which the deceased became insane, and the uncle now appeared as its guardian, and 'contested the validity of the instrument on the ground of insanity. The will was propounded in an allegation setting forth that it was duly executed, the deceased having given the first instructions for its preparation so far back as the preceding January, when his solicitor suggested that it was desirable that there should be another executor ; upon which the deceased took time to consider the subject, but in the month of March wrote a letter desiring a short will to be drawn up, giving the property to his wife, and stating that he meant to ap point her sole executrix. An allegation in answer was then brought in by the uncle, setting forth a variety of circumstances, from which, it was contended, insanity was to be inferred. It stated that Mr. Mack used to speak of a pony he possessed as being very valuable and fit for the Queen, and of fruit in his garden as being worth a very considerable sum in the market, when it was, in fact, only just formed on the tree ; and that on the 19th May, 1850, he behaved himself with great im propriety in church. A counter allegation had since been given in, denying these circumstances. Dr. Addams and Dr. Twiss were heard on behalf of Mrs. Mack, and submitted that the testimony of the witnesses, to whose evidence no exception could be taken, was sufficient to substantiate the validity of the will, and therefore that it must be pronounced for. Dr. Robinson, on behalf of the guardian of the child, contended that there were on record many facts previous to the execution which proved the deceased's mental in capacity, and that he was not in a condition to under stand the full meaning of the instrument before the Court. YORK ECCLESIASTICAL COURT. ROWLEY V. ROWLEY. This was a suit for restitution of conjugal rights, which was brought by Mr. John Jephson Rowley, of Rowthorne, near Chesterfield, gentleman, against Mrs. Mary Ann Rowley, his wife, who resides at Sheffield, and is possessed of 7001. per annum. Mrs. Rowley ad mitted the marriage, but gave into Court a defensive allegation, charging her husband with cruelty and adul tery. Additional articles were also given in on her behalf, upon which pleadings eleven witnesses had been examined. Mr. Rowley pleaded that he did not commit the acts of cruelty and adultery charged upon him, and also pleaded condonation. Dr. Addams, with whom was Mr. Blanshard, and Mr. Bower, had been specially retained for Mrs. Rowley, whose husband was represented by Mr. Travis and Mr. Harper. The Court having ruled that Dr. Addams should begin, he opened the case of Mrs. Rowley at great length. He stated that the proof of cruelty principally rested upon two witnesses—Mrs. Woodhead, who keeps the King's Head Inn, Sheffield, and Mrs. Shillito, who was formerly in the service of the parties in this cause. The former deposed to what took place in October, 1848. This was the important period for the Court to fix its attention upon, because it was in that month that Mrs. Rowley and her husband separated. On the 4th of that month Mrs. Rowley, whilst staying at the King's Head Inn, informed Mrs. Woodhead that on the morning of the 2d, whilst they were in bed, she told her husband she was going to Sheffield. He said she had no occasion to do so, and she should not go. She replied that she had business there, and should go. They then both got out of bed, when the husband turned and pressed the back o f h er nec k o ver the footboard of angrily upon her, g rasp the bed. She showed M rs . W oo dhead the marks on grasped her by the front of the neck, each side of her neck, which Mrs. Rowley said were occasioned by her husband. The marks were red, her throat was swollen, and she seemed to have a difficulty in swallowing. Many of the altercations they had were respecting money matters, and so on ; and Mrs. Shil lito spoke to having s een th e p ar ties scuffling together twice ; that she had f r e quen tly seen Mrs. Rowley weeping for half a day t oge th er ; and that her health had suffered. In con sequence of her indisposition, she had been attended by Mr. Hussey, surgeon, of London, and Mr. Wil son O veren d, s urgeon, of Shef field. The former gent l eman h a d s tated that on ,_earing she was separated from her husband, he at once felt himself enlightended as to the cause of her illness, which, he had no doubt, had been brought on by domestic discomforts and anxiety. Mr. Overend's evidence was precisely to the same effect. Then as to the adultery, which was alleged to have taken place after the separation, there was a general charge as against the husband, and a specific charge of Dr. Addams, therefor e , su b m itt e d th a t the cas e was an improper intimacy with Ann Green, his housekeeper. complete, and that Mrs. Rowley was entitled to a sen tence of divorce. Mr. Deacon's harriers will meet on Wednesday ai Black Down ; and on Saturday at Cadaford Bridge. BRISTOL NEW DOCKS. It is a great fact. Who can deny it ? The notices are out, and the plans will be in by the re quired time for the gigantic Ocean Steam Dock. This is business. Engineers, one of whom is characterised par excellence, by his striking development of the power of perception, have almost inundated us, first and last, with schemes of high and low water, floating and other piers, which have all ended, after no small quantum of valuable time, and no insig nificant amount of money have been wasted, in the total discomfiture of the citizens, and in proving that such p ro j ec t s wou ld not float on the abiding waters of commercial confidence. The Great Architect of nature has roughed out the locality, for art to finish, in such an unmis takeable form that the most ordinary mental capacity may perceive it. Nay, more—nature had only to be interpreted, and the future prospects of I King-road were echoed in welcome accents from Clifton heights to the monetary plains of the great metropolis— " Let there be a Dock." Mr. Rendel says in the concluding words of his able report, " the scheme is of national, no less than of commercial importance ;" but we say more, it is not this city, or county, or kingdom, or even empire, that the works specially concern. Such is the comprehensive character of the interests it in cludes, that if there be one at all paramount, it is that rising empire beyond the distant western horizon. To the United States, Bristol will then be the Alexandria of Europe in her overland route; for it is plain that most of the continental traffic to New York and other important cities of the Union, will pass vui Dover and Reading, and by the steam ers sailing from King-road. Deep bedded in the smouldering strata of a European political volcano there is a principle that, sooner or later, will burst forth in, it may be, frantic suicidal impetuosity. That principle is despotism, and should it assume the shape of a quadruple unholy alliance against us, its banner, its first outburst, would only be a signal to every city, town, and hamlet of that Republic, whose people are of our race, speak the same tongue, and hold the same faith, to send forth her sons as a wave of freedom that, allied. with England, will submerge and utterly,destroy the armies of what has been sacrilegiously called the " divine right of Kings." We tell the Government that under such an eventuality that in this channel, and at these works, the liberating armies could best fraternize hence the necessity of its most paternal con sideration. The engineer at the head of the new dock scheme is not a man given to vain boasting ; his position is already so high that another's mantle would do him no honour. The difference between the past en gineer of Bristol docks, and the present engineer of the new scheme, is simply this, that while the former was known to Bristol as the originator of piers as opposed to docks, the latter does not lay claim to either. We venture to affirm that when this Dock Bill is law, the language of the engineer of the Admiralty will be in the like spirit as that in which Peel concluded his great speech after the passing of the Corn Law Bill, and, like that great man, Mr. Rendel will announce that it is not to the gentleman at the bead of the engineering staff of the Great Western Railway Company, nor to himself, that the honour is due of carrying through all its vicissitudes the great work, but to the un tiring energy, the unassuming action, and the quiet eloquence of such men as William Patterson. Bristol Mirror. CHEESE.—The manufacture of cheese on the English system has been recently introduced into the county of Dublin, and is gradually extending. On an extensive farm, purchased by Mr. Dargan, the railway contractor, at Mosstown, in the county of Westmeath, and rented boau . a Cheshire farmer, chees e o f prime quality is now The experiment has also been tried with success in some other counties, although as yet upon a comparatively small scale. Still, however, a sufficient quantity is manufactured to form a material item in our exports. From Cork last week a large amount of cheese was forwarded by steamer for the London and Channel markets ; the forerunner, it is to be hoped, of many ex tensive and profitable shipments of this new description of Irish produce. IRISH EMIGRANTS IN AUSTRALIA. —Remittances from Irish settlers in Australia are steadily increasing, and there is every likelihood that the supplies from this source will before very long equal the sums transmitted from the United States. The inevitable effect must be to stimulate emigration to Australia to a very great ex tent ; and from present appearances it is most probable that the exodus will proceed upon an enormous scale next sprin g . O n Th urs d ay last, seventy registered money letters, sent by Irish emigrants at Melbourne, were received at the Limerick post-office, with sums ranging from 501. to 500/.
