(THIS DAY,) HOUSE OF LORDS: The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool sack at Five o'clock. MAYNOOTH. The Earl of WINCHILSEA gave notice that in the course of the next session of Parliament he would move for a Committ ee t o i nqu i re whether the mora l and reli gious principles inculcated at the College of Maynooth are not subversive of all Protestant government. Lord BROUGHAM said that the course proposed by the Noble Earl was certainly better and fairer than that taken—he would not say where—but certainly riot ix their Lordships' House. The Duke of RICHMOND presente d a petition from the farmers of Sussex, complaining of the pre sen t mode of assessing the property-tax. GREAT WESTERN, SHREWSBURY, &c,,RAIL WAY. Lord BEAUMONT 185 rose to move the suspension of the standing order, No. sent. 1, with r egar d t o t h e , Great Western, Shrewsbury, and Bi rmingham Rail way, and Shrewsbury and Chester Railway Amal gamation Bill. This standing order, k nown by the name of the " Wharneliffe order," was to the effect that in the case of an Amalgamation Bill, the consent of four-fifths of the proprietors should be obtained at a meeting held for that purpose. When first created it had required on l y the consent of three-fifths, but within the last two years it had been extended to four-fifths. In the case of the present Bill, which had been passed by the Commons without opposition, as being a Bill of the greatest importance, but when it came to their Lordships' House, it not being denied that four-fifths of the proprietors had not consented to it, although three-fifths had, the Committee of Standing Orders had no other course to report but that the stand ing orders had not been complied with. He thought that this was a case where their Lordships might, not only without danger, but even with advantage, suspend this standing order, because this question was no less than whether there should be only ene means of communication between London and the Mersey, between London and Ireland— whether all the traffic, and all the important transactions conducted between those two points of the kingdom should be confined to one single means of communication, and whether the possessors of that means of communica tion should be the possessors of a monopoly. Lord LYNDHURST said that this standing order was made to protect tho minority against the rage for specu lation among the majority, but it had never been in tended to stand in the way of any great public advan tage. He believed that on the ground of public policy, and for the benefit of the public at large, their Lord ships were justified in complying with the motion of the Noble Lord. Lord REDESDALE roso to oppose the motion, and was (LEFT SPEA RING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Lord MANDETILLE took the oaths and his seat for Huntingdonshire. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments to the following Bills were considered and agreed to:— Eastern Counties Railway. Edinburgh and Glasgow Railway. London and North-Western Railway (No. 2). Londonderry Bridge (No. 1). Londonderry Bridge (No. 2). Tyne Improvement. NEW RIVER COMPANY BILL. On the motion for proceeding further with the third reading of this Bill to improve the supply of water to the metropolis, Col. DUNNE objected to the Bill on the ground that the works which it authorised would injure the Ordnance works on the River Lea, &c. He must therefore with hold the consent of the Crown to it, unless the promoters would allow certain clauses to be introduced for securing to Ordnance works a sufficient supply of water. The company had already broken the law in abstracting water from the River Lea, and they had no right to this Bill except upon the terms that he proposed. He moved that the Government clauses be brought up. Mr. WILSON PATTEN said the standing orders had not been complied with in respect to these clauses, and as the 68th clime of the Bill would accomplish the very object of those proposed by the Government, he could see no necessity for agreeing to the motion of the Hon. and Gallant Member.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HENLEY said, as the law dilvisers of the Ord nance did not consider that the 6s'h clause secured the right of the Crown, he must witahold the Queen's assent. Lord SEYMOUR said this was a very important Bill; it proposed to furnish the metropolis with a good supply of water, but if the claims of the Ordnance were con ceded, and no water could be abstracted from the River Lea above their works, the Bill would become an useless measure. Mr. COWPER opposed the Bill unless the promoters consented to grant compensation to those parties who at present enjoyed the benefit of the water in the river. After a brief discussion, the motion for bringing up the clauses was withdrawn, and the Bill was passed. The Tees Conservancy Bill, and the Torquay Extra- Mural Cemetery Bill were read a third time and passed. RAMSGATE HARBOUR BILL. On the motion for considering the report of this Bill, )(Ir. G. HUDSON moved that this Bill be taken into co nsideration this day three months. Mr. HENLEY said that the Biil was certainly not a B atisfatto r y Bill, and the Government would have noth ing h .lug to do with it either on e wa y or the other. SirG • PECHELL was astonished to hear this deter thesef the Gove rnment . H e cer t a i n ly th oug ht toile ought to be abolished. Sir F. Bright said aid that I . harbour towas impossible for this b should, thextrimaintained without these tolls, and he re, eapport this Bill. Mr. HU the more astonished to hear what had fallen from g the President Hon. Gentleman than he had been at hearin President of the Board of Trade. This Bill was o pp o secii raarir, to the sound principles on which our commercial ,2 0 ught to be supported, and he therefore called on th e isl kk az tr to reject it. Mr. MASTERMA .e.ordeßi the Bill. After a few words from and arr. ffeadlam, who epp 4 i s Dennison, Mr. Grogan, e the Bill Mr. STAFFORD said that •h ' e Government having followed the laborious investi ga i i on ch ad been the late Governine stituted by nt, had arrived at the con clusion that the passing toll uw05,111. not so necessary as was considered by the Right site.

PETITIONS. a public meet- Mr. HUME presented a petition from ing of Irishmen at Manchester, praying f o r the pardon of Smith O'Brien, John Mitchell, an d their companions. Sir W. CLAY p resented a petition from a literary society, praying for the free transmission of Parliamen tary papers by the post. MR. F. O'CONNOR. Mr. J. BELL gave n o ti ce that this even ing, at six o'clock, he would present a petition from a relative c of Mr. F. O'CowNoß, praying f or hi s discharge f rom custody of the Sergeant-at-Arms, in ord er th a t he might ra be placed in a lunatic asylum. UNDUE INFUENCE AT THE ENNISKILLEN ELECTION. Mr. S. CRAWFORD, on the motion for going into Committee of Supply, asked whether any inquiry bad been made, or would be instituted, regarding the alleged proceedings of General Thomas at Enniskillen, on the 19th of May last, for the purpose of exercising an undue influence 07,1. Sergeant M'Kinley, a pensioner residing in the said town, with reference to the disposal of his vote at the next general election? Major BERESFORD said the statement made by Sergeant M'Kinley was entirely unfounded. Ile re ferred to a letter explaining the [natter from General Thomas to Sir E. B!akeney, the lieutenant commanding the army in Ireland, in which the former stated that when he arrived in Enniskillen he was welcomed by the pensioners who belonged :to the regiment in which ho had served many year,, and that he observ e d th at if at' showin g a n y among th the sir m wcerit c.re Govoters they had an o pp ortun i ty for Mr. Whiteside. the e yof their prof esa i on3 b y voting vernment candidatA who was his perticalt r frisrd; but Le denied thst he attempted to intimidate [any man, or qook his fist at Sergeant 31`lieniloY, end std was a disgrac e t o th e name of tut Eoni,killener. lie (Major Ber es f or d) admitted it was imprudent iu a general efficer, fresh from duty, and wearing ; his regimentals, to comrades in reerence toelection about one word to his s quite an about to take place, but to VV. hsatisfied that t c :conduct of which Ge neral Thomas was not capable ot he was said to be guilty. The lion. Muraber read se veral communications which he had received f rom officers and oth ers w h o were present on the occasion, all of whom stated that no such intimidation was used b y General Thomas. SUPPLY, The House then went into Committee of Supply. On the vote of 20,0001. for defraying the expenses of Mr. HUME complained of the large =min!' of the vote; and expressed a h o p e th at t h e Government would by next year reconsider it, with the view of econo mising the expenses of the colony. Sir J. PAKINGTON was very much struck by the high amount of the vote on the estimates for Hong- Kong, but promised that in the recess he would direct his attention to the subject in order to see where reduc tions could be made. A great diminution had, however, lately taken place in the expenses of the colony, for in 1845 the amount was 49,0 001,, while in the pres en t year it was only 12,0001 e and he very much hoped to be able to effect further reduc tions. Lord D. STUART was glad to hear what had fallen from the Right Hon. Baronet. Tho Noble Lord took occasion while on this vote to call the attention of the Government to the case of Mr. Alexander Johnstone, the registrar at Hong Kong, who, he said, was very in adequately remunerated, considering his long services and the duties he had to discharge. Sir G. STAUNTON confirmed the accuracy of some of the particulars given by the Noble Lord respecting that officer. Mr. SCOTT expressed satisfaction at the promised reduction of the vote, and was certain it would please the colonists. The vote was then agreed to. On the vote of 4,0004 towards defraying the expenses of Labuan, Mr. WILSON PATTEN called the attention of the Government to the dispute which had arisen between Sir James Brooke, the Governor of Labuan, and the Eastern Archipelago Company, and urged the Government to interfere for the purpose of its settlement. The governor obtained a grant to work the coal mines of the colony, and after wards transferred it to the Eastern Archipelago Com pany, who obtained a charter from the Government. In the meantime Sir James Brooke obtained additional grants from the Sultan of Borneo, and ho immediately changed his course of tactics. He threw every obstacle in the way of the company, and completely changed his views of the original grant. The company:had therefore come to the conclusion that he wished to shirk his agreement. Sir James Brooke brought certain accusations against the com pany, but upon inquiry these accusations were proved to be entirely unfounded.—(Hear, hear.) one of the charges Sir James Brooke had brought for ward against the company, was that they had obtained their charter by fraud. The Colonial-office investigated the accusation, and declared the charge not substantiated. ;Sir James Brooke's next step was to persuade one member of the company to file a bill in Chancery to the intent that he had been persnaded by false representations to join the com pany. This case was tried by Vice-Chancellor Turner, and his judgment was to the effect that if the company had been guilty of fraud, if was the duty of the Colonial-office, and not of Sir James Brooke, to cause inquiry to be made on the subject. He himself was of the same opinion, and hs would now only state on behalf of the company, that they had asked him to press upon the Government that it was from them that an iuqniry should proceed; he would also impress on the Govern ment to take care that this case should be Fettled before Sir James Brooke should return to the colony. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON was willing to admit the importance of the question, but he was of opinion that a discussion on that question now would not be beneficial, inasmuch as at the present moment the whole question was pending the decision of a court of law. He was free to acknowledge that it was injurious to the colony to have this company and the governor at open war with each other. Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT was of opinion that it was not generally known that Sir James Brooke was engaged in mercantile pursuits, and therefore might be under the influence of counter interests. If Sir James Brooke's conduct gave ground for suspicion, it ought to be the duty of the Government to inquire closely into that conduct. Sir J. PAKINGTON would only repeat that he did not consider himself justified in entering into the ques tion under the presrnt circumstances. Mr. B. COCHRANE was of opinion that Sir James Brooke had lost a Nreat deal of his private fortune. Mr. HUME had understood that coal had been found at Labuan, and, struck with the importances of this pro duct in a colony so situated, had inquired into the matter. He would state to the House that on the Ist of July there were 881 individuals in that colony, and that the colony was rapidly decreasing. He would press the matter on the attention of the Government with a view to making Is saving in the public money. Sir JOHN PAKINGTON said, that this was one of the points under the consideration of her Majesty's Go vernment. After a short conversation the vote was agreed to. A vote of 386,7151. for the expenses of the Militia in England and Ireland. After a protest from Mr. Hume, was then agreed to. The CHAIRMOLN was then directed to report pro gress; and the Idolise having resumed, he did so accord ingly. The remaining - .Csvelve o'clock Orders were then dis posed of, and the I louse rose at Four o'clock. The House resu med at Six o'clock. PETITIONS. Mr. V. SCUL:GY presented a petition from Man chester in favour of tenant right. Mr. GLADSTONE presented a petition from St. Thomas's, in Jamaica, complaining of distress and pray ing for relief. Mr. BELL preHented a petition from the sister of Mr. Feargus O'Connor, praying that the Hon. Member might be released for the purpose of undergoing medical exlmination, the petitioner believing him to be of un sound mind. Mr. WALPOLE moved that a Committee be ap pointed to consider the facts contained in the petition. The motion was agreed to. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) APPEALS. GIBSON V. FORBES. After hearing the respondents in this case, the LORD CHANCELLOR moved the judgment of the House, dis missing the appeal, and confirming the judgment of the Court below, by which the exemption of the ;glebe and manse from assessment is established. BENNET'S DIVORCE. The second reading of this Bill was taken into further consideration this afternoon. Mr. MEREWETHER appeared on behalf of the peti tioner, who he saia was extremely anxious to obtain their Lordship's decision in this case. He was pre pared to offer further evidence on any points which might appear doubtful, particularly as to the intercourse between the parties at Valercia, and the efforts of the petitioner to discover his wife afterwards. Farther evidence was then called to prove the efforts made at various times by the petitioner to discover the residence of his wife, which was then ordered to be printed, and the further consideration of the Bill was postponed sine die. BATLEY'S DIVORCE. The second reading of this Bill was also taken into further consideration this day. Mr. E. JAMES appeared on behalf of the petitioner ' and said that he propcsed to call evidenc e as to Mrs. Batley's life before marriage. Mrs. Jane Goddard deposed that in May, 1847, Mrs. Batley took apartments at her house in the Westminste r road, under the 1131320 of Madame Stephani; she was accompanied by a w oman named Hawkins. The conduct of both women during the iinnellthey lived at„her house was extremely improper. They were in the habit of sitticg at the window and beckoning men out of the street into their room. The neighbours complained of their conduct, and also their fellow-lodgers, who threatened to leave unless they were dismissed from the house. ..Mrs. Priscilla Baker deposed, that in Juno 1847, Mrs. Batley lodged at her house in York-read. She was also accompanied by a person whom she described as her sister, who afterwards turned out to be Mrs. Hawkins. She went under the name of Madame Stephoni. She said that she was a married woman, and that her hus band was abroad, but she afterwards acknowledged that her husband had deserted her, and that she was living under the protection of a gentleman. A gentleman used to visit her about twice a week, but ho ne was slept there to h er k now l e d ge.

THE SUN, LONDON, Although the Exhibition wa s o p ene d yes t er d ay f or public admission the arrangement of the contents is still far from being completed, notwithstanding that great exertions have been made for the purpose, and that con siderable progress may be observed almost every hour. The fine arts gallery, from which the temporary fittings have been removed, is as yet the great centre of attrac tion. THE INAUGURAL BANQUET. A grand banquet took place on Thursday evening at Cork, to celebrate the opening of the National Exhibi tion. The dinner came off in the grounds attached to the Exhibition Buldings, within which a spacious pa vilion was elegantly fitted up for the purpose. Seven o'clock was the hour appointed for assembling, and when at that hour the guests began to arrive, the whole po pulation of Cork turned out to receive them. Covers were laid for 600, and at the appointed hour every seat was occupied by a guest. Shortly before eight o'clock his Excellency entered the Banqueting Hall, attended by a brilliant staff and numerous retinue, composed of the nobility and principal personages of distinction who had visited the fair capital of the south upon this auspi cious occasion. The LORD-LIEUTENANT, on returning thanks for the toast of his health, thus expressed himself :—lt is true that we have not here the statues of Italy, the carving of Austria, the malachites of Russia, the porcelain of Sevres, or the velvets of Genoa, but we have what you and I value far more, the products of our own country. — (Loud cheers.) We have the marbles of Cork, of Kil kenny, and of Connemara.—(Hear, hear.) We have our linens, we have our tabbinet, we have our lace em broidery, we have the results of the industry of the sons, and the handiwork of the fair daughters of Erin.— (Cheers.) But allowed me to ask what is there that the genius of Ireland cannot accomplish, whe ther it be the highest efforts of human ambition, or the humblest essay of talent ? Does not Irish blood flow in the veins of the mightiest conqueror of the widest empire which the work has ever seen?—(Cheers.) Does not the blood of Ireland flow in the veins of him whose career of glory not one de feat, not one selfish act, has tarnished?—(Cheers.) Does not the capacious mind of Wellesley spring from an Irish stock?—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) Was it not Irish genius which shone in the calm and lustrous eye of Can ning, which sparkled in the wit of Sheridan, gave com mand to Burke, lent point to the irony; of Tierney, and taught Goldsmith to write of nature—(Cheers)—which enabled your own Moore—(Renewed cheers)—to breathe forth words of beauty, words of fragrance as sweet as your own harp, but nervous as the arm by which it is struck ?—(Loud cheers.) And to come to your own county, or even to your own city, was it not the genius of Cork which made Curran what he was ?—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) I would ask you does modern art own a better or a more worthy votary than Maclise?—(Cheers.) Allow me also to pay a passing tribute of admiration to the nameless thousands who have contributed so efficiently to the show we have inaugurated this day. Gentle men, it is not by strife and party contention—it is not by religious or political dissension—it is not by out rage and murder that the regeneration of Ireland is to be accomplished.—(Cries of " Hear, hear," and cheers.) It is because of all this that misfortunes have come upon her—that so many of her sons have had to Feek a refuge on other shores—that so many of her houses are untenanted—that so much of her rich land is uncultivated.—(Cheers.) Endowed with every thing that ought to make her great and prospe rous, s he has been miserable and poor, because she has been disunited.—(Hear, hear.) It is by the merging of all party feeling in the ono great eject, your country's welfare—it is by holding out the hand of friendship to your fellow-countrymen—it is by preserving order and tranquillity among yourselves, that you will see happy faces—full haggarde, and empty barracks—(Cheering) —that you will see your harbours filled, British capital flowing in, and railway enterprise carried through every corner of the country. Gentlemen, it is not often that the representative of the Sovereign in this country has an opportunity of speaking to those whom he governs —rarely, if ever, to en assemblage such as this. But I seize upon it with great eagerness, because there is nothing nearer to my heart than to try and persuade the people of Ireland that I am actuated by the most earnest desire for their welfare.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.) h I believe it unhappily happens th a t man y— some perheps, from mistake, but others, I fear, from malice —would endeavour to persuade you that I am foreign to you in tastes, foreign to you in interests—that I am not actuated by kindliness towards you. Believe, rather— because I pledge you my honour that it is the case— that I already feel affection for the warm-hearted people among whom I find myself—(Cheers) —l already love this beautiful island which is placed under my charge, which I look upon as a trust which has been committed to me —not only as one for which I must answer to my Sovereign and my country, but one for whose evil or good fulfilment I must'hereafter answer to my God.—(Cheers.) Believe me that I have accepted the trust, determined to act honestly and openly—not to praise this party and cajole that—not to truckle to the one or to flatter the other with fair promises—but to preserve tranquillity, and, while I preserve the liberties of the Irish people, to inculcate order and loyalty to my Sovereign.—(Cheers.) Gentlemen, whatever time I spend in this country, be assured, whether it be long—as I sincerely trust it may be—or whether it be short, I can only tell you that I shall carry with me an Irish heart, and that I shall hereafter feel myself pledged by honour, by feeling, and by duty, to attend to Irish interests—(Cheers)—and, amongst the bright hours that I have spent 'in Ireland, I shell not look with the least pleasure to those which the kindness of the citizens of Cork has afforded me.— (Loud and prolonged cheers.) FOREIGN THEATRICALS. At tho Gymnase, a little vaudeville has seen the light, under the bizarre title of Un Souilet n'est jamais perdu. No less a personage than Madame de Pompadour is the heroine; while on an excursion of a rather ambiguous character through the streets of Paris in the simple guise of a grisette, this celebrated lady, has repelled the gal lant importunities of a certain M. Dauv ergne w ith an sough t. This Dauvergne is a poet, little favoured by fortune, but who, en revanche, possesses the good graces cf a young and pretty grisette, who is in some way or other related to the royal favourite. To com pensate Dauvergne for so ungrateful a return for the homage paid to her beauty, Mme. de Pompadour seeks him in his garret, and after a series of incidents of an extremely improbable nature, marries him to his in amorata, on whom she settles a handsome independence. In spite of the impossibilities .'with which every scene of this little affair is ,crammed, the lively dialogue, and the excellent ac ti ng of Bressaat and Mdlle. Figeae were a sufficient excuse for the favourable reception it expe rienced. VARlETES.—Gavarni's humorous and satirical cari catures cn Parisian society, and more particularly of the Cyntnias, Lesbias, and Philocomoiiums of modern days, have furnished the idea of a piece in four acts, lately brought out at this theatre, called Les Femmes de Gavarni. Gavarni's caricatures are in four aeries, each of which occupies one act in this affair:— "La Vie de Jeune Homme," " Lea Fourberies des Femmes en Metier° de Sentiment," " Lea Actrices," and "Le Cernaval s Paris." The principal feature of this compound is the last scene, which represents the ball at the Opera; it is undoubtedly extremely curious, something amazingly like the cancan and other dances greatly in favour at the " Grande Chaumiere" being in troduced into it, and executed with all the zest and ap parent enjoyment of the habitues of the celebrated bavringue.—Another novelty, Madame Diogene, has als© been given here; it is a broad extravaganza, replete with absurd improbabilities, and the acting of Lassaigne alone saved it from condemnation. The affiche of the Fraccals announces that the first representation of M. Ponsurd's Ulysse will take place within a few days. M. Gueymard is shortly to make his rentree at the Grand Opsre, in Verdi's Jerusalem. M. Bosco, the well-known conjuror, is about to make a professional tour in Italy. M. F6licien David's La Perle du Bresil, which, it may bo remembered, was produced with marked success at the Theatre Lyrique last season, with Madlle. Dee z and M. Bouchie, has been performed at Nantes with the greatest success. M. Lucchesi, the tenor, is at present singing with great success, it is said, at Marseilles. AL Leopold de Meyer has been giving a series of con certs at Lyons with the most brilliant success. The local papers describe the en th us i asm h e exc i te d as not unmixed by the surprise of the public of Lyons, who, on the faith im agined M. a certain malicious car i cature, h ad, i t ap p e ars, M. do Moyer to be a kind of musical ogre, under whose powerful hand the most solid of Erard's instruments be came hut the wreck of a piano, after a f e w rnorceaux. Instead of this," say s t h e S a l ut Public, "we have found in M. de Meyer an a d m i ra b le art i st, w hose execu tion displays a rapidity, tone, and pathos, combined, in deed, with a power seldom if ever to be found in the same executant, but modified by a t as t e o f t h e mos t fastidious delicacy. His principal morceaux were his "Marche d'lsly," and variations on Styria n mo ti ves , i n w hich amid a perfect cascade of chromatic passages, the melody is never for a moment obscured, even to the least practised ear. After these two pieces M. de Meyer obtained a perfect ovation." The vocal portion of the programme was entrusted to Wiles. Virginia and Carolina Fern!, whose performance is highly spoken of. Amelia Ferraris, the favourite ballerina at her Ma jesty's Theatre last season, is engaged for next autumn at La Scala, in Milan. At Reggio Ernani is said to have excited the greatest enthusiasm, with Mdlle. Seotta and MAL Mirate and Varesi. Letters from Naples state that Otello had been given at the Fond°, Mme. Penco and M. Pancani taking the principal parts; both artistes were much applauded. At the Nuovo, Belisario has completely failed. At Trieste, Roberto Devereux has been received with favour, with M. Manzoli and Mme. Brignoli. A symphony is now being composed at Weymar by Maestro lianlingee, in honour of the President of the Republic: it is entitled " Napoleon."—Galignani. Madame Celeste, who made her debut as a beautiful young danseuBe at the:Bowery some years ago, is playing her farewell engagement to an American audience at the Broadway. She is now a highly finished and classic artist, in the melo.dramatie school, almost without a rival on the stage. What r. history and a life of the theatrical ad venture she has had in her 13; illiant career! The daughter of a soldier of th e gr eat Napoleon —starting as a Parisian girl, young and beautiful—she is now at the top of the naclo-dramatic line on the English and Ameri can stage. Julia Bennett continues to attract admiring audiences al the Lyceum, to witness her classic representations in E ngltsh comic opera. ASTOR-PLACE OPER A - ROUSE.—Everybody speaks in th© highest terms of praise regarding the new drama ctilled th e C ors i can B rot h ers, which has bean produced in a style cf splendour seld om surpassed i n this or any other country. Mr. Brooke has displayed great the istrical judgment in the production of the piece. The EVENING, JUNE 141 tableaux are exceedingly beautiful, and the acting throughout very creditable. Madame Anna Bishop has been giving concerts at Columbus, Macon, and Atlanta. She is now on her way to Augusta and Charleston, and expected in New York in the middle of this month. Bochsa is still playing on the harp. Miss Davenport, the distinguished tragic actress, has been playing a very successful engagement in Pittsburg.

The proposed com p uls ory enfranchisement of copyholds is a matter which greatly concerns all our readers, and indeed, as it seems to us, th e w h ole community. No one denies the unsuitableness of copyhold tenure to the pre sent state of society : all ac k now l e d ge the i n j ur i ous effects of the copyhold laws, th e powers o f oppress i on litigation and ruin which ago as 1838, a Committee of the House of Commons recommenC,' , Al the compulsory they which 0 f t t h e e n y e nfr an chisement of copyh o ld s, and yet here is 1852 and nothing has been done; a n d w h at i s more, unless an effort be made out of d oors, nothing, will be done, so powerful is the influence o f stewards and other indivi ignivvoel've. the s c o s indivi duals personally interested in th e ma i ntenance o f an ev il system. Some think th at i f all the copyholds of a manor be enfranchised, the waste will become the abso lute property of the lord, as there will be no longer any copyholders to exercise the rights, and that most of our heaths and commons will be covered with buildings. This is a question of such importance that all doubt should be removed by a Clause expressly reserving all existing rights of common. Let us keep about us some free spaces where we may see the furze in bloom—Na ture's livery of green and gold. Pending conclusive en franchisement, copyholders should be at liberty to lease and improve their lands without license, and in case of building-leases, fines uncertain or arbitrable should be assessable upon the ground rents. There are strong reasons in favour of enfranchising copyhold lands, but we have probably said enough to convince our readers that it is a subject in which they are all more or less concerned, and to lead some of them to aid in obtaining a satisfactory settlement of this important question.

MISS CATHERINE HAYES—HAYES V. BEALE AND OTHERS. Mr. BACON, with whom was Mr. Cotton, moved in this case, upon notice, for an injunction restraining the Union Bank of London, its agents and officers, and one of the defendants, Mr. John Chapman, the public officer of the bank, from paying to another of the defendants, Mr. T. F. Beale, the music -seller, of Regent-street, any part of the moneys of Miss Hayes (about 3,0001.) in the possession of the Union Bank. The motion sought also to restrain Mr. Beale from carrying on further proceed ings in the Lord Mayor's Court in London against Miss Hayes, or against Mr. Chapman, or the Union Bank, and also to restrain Mr. Beale from further prosecuting an action brought by him against Miss Hayes in the Superior Court of New York, in America, and from bringing any other action against Miss Hayes, in respect of an agreement between h r and Mr. Beale, dated the 30th of April, 1851. It was stated that a previous agreement had been entered into between Miss Hayes and the defendant, Mr. Beale, on the 28th of November, 1850, by which Miss Hayes agreed to go to America in Sep tember, 1851, where she undertook to perform for five months. The terms of this agreement of No vember were that Mr. Beale should pay to Miss Hayes 5001. per month, and that the latter should receive one sixth of the profits realised by the speculation. The travelling expenses of Miss Hayes, her mother, and her attendant, and also of her theatrical dresser, were to be paid for by Mr. Beale. Shortly after concluding this agreement Miss Hayes went to Italy to improve her vocal powers. She returned in April following, and as she had reason for believing that she had not done her self justice by the terms she had consented to, and as she had been offered nearly double—namely, 1,0001. by Gurnsey, the agent of one of the defendants, Wardwell, a merchant in New York, she prevailed upon the de fendant (Mr. Beale) to increase her pay to 6501., instead of 500/. per month. Accordingly, on the 30th of April, 1851, Miss Hayes and Mr. Beale entered into another agreement, to commence in September following, and to continue for five months, by which Miss Hayes agreed to sing and perform, in America and Ireland, in La Sonnambula, Lucia de Lammermoor, Linda, Lu cretia, Don Pasquale, L'Elisir d'Amore, I Puritani, Norma, and such other operas as might be agreed upon, and also to sing at concerts. Mr. Beale agreed to pay Miss Hayes 3,2501. by monthly instal ments during the five months, and also one-sixth part of the profits, after payment of all the expenses, direct or incidental. It was stipulated that Miss Hayes was not to be required to perform more than four operas or concerts, and a fifth concert in any ono week, such fifth concert to be at Miss Hayes's option. The lady, how ever, was not to take any other engagement, or to appear, sing, or perform in public, otherwise than under the agreement, without the consent in writing of Mr. Beale or his representative. Mr. Beale was to have the option of continuing the engagement for a period beyond the five months, not exceeding twelve months in the whole, on giving to Miss Hayes a written notice of his intention within one month previously to the expiration of the five months. The engagement was to be considered as commencing from the date of the first performance, either in Egland or America; the time occupied in crossing and recrossing the Atlantic was not to be con sidered or calculated as part of the engagement. In the event of Miss Hayes being at any time unable to perform her part of the engage ment from illness, any loss which may be sus tained in consequence should be made good by Miss Hayes continuing her engagement so as to make up for the loss at the rate of 650/. per month. Mr. Beale and Miss Hayes then bound themselves to the ful filment of this engagement in a penalty of 3,0001. re spectively. In the month of June following, however, Mr. Beale thought fit to assign and transfer the benefit of this contract to the defendant, Mr. John Henry Wardwell, a merchant, of 200, Broadway, New York. Mr. Beale by this instrument agreed to provide for Mr. Wardwell the exclusive services of Miss Hayes, Mr. Augustus Bra ham, Herr Mengis, and Lewis Henry Lavenu, to sing and perform, in four concerts or oratorios in each week, in New York and elsewhere for three months from the arrival of the parties in America, and Mr. Beale gave Mr. Wardwell the option of continuing the engagement for two months longer, after a month's notice, with liberty during the extended period to substitute operas for concerts or oratorios, the performances not to exceed four in one week without the consent of Mr. Beale or his, representative. Mr. Wardwell was so pay Mr. Beale 5001. for preliminary expenses, and 2,2001. during the engagement—namely, for Miss Hayes's services, 1,8001. per month; for Mr. Bra ham's, 200/. per month; for Herr Mengis's, 100/. per month; and for Mr. Lavenu's, 1001. per month. Mr. Wardwell agreed to pay the travelling and living ex penses of Miss Hayes, her mother, Dr. Joy (Mr. Beale's agent), and Miss Hayes's attendant, of Mr. and Mrs. Braham, of Herr Mengis, and Mr. Lavenu, from the time of leaving England until the end of their engagement, and a fair sum for the expenses of returning to England. Mr. Wardwell agreed to pay Mr. Beale a moiety of all receipts beyond 5001. whenever the same should ex ceed 500/, for any performance. The two parties bound themselves i n a penalty of 4,0004 for the fulfilment of the agreement. The plaintiff, it was said, had not been made aware of this sub-agreement, and it was a matter of complaint that it had been purposely kept from her knowledge. In August Miss ave., ' ac companied by her mother and an attendant (Dr. Joy, the agent and manager of Mr. Beale), left Liverpool for New York. Miss Hayes performed there in the follow ing month, and continued to do so for six weeks But in the middle of November (about the 14th), Miss Hayes ex pressed to Dr. Joy her resolution not to sing again under the engagement with Mr. Beale, and offered to pay to him (Joy), as Mr. Beale's agent, the penalty of 3,0001. for her breach of the agreement, she receiving what she was entitled to for what she bad peformed on her part. Miss Hayes, in her letter to Joy expressing this reso lution, stated that for some reason or other, acting under his directions had become disagreeable to her, and she refused to continue doing so. It was stated that although Miss Hayes's performances were highly attractive to her American audiences, Mr. Wardwell, early in No vember, 1851, determined on assigning his interest in the contract to another person, and he did so to a Mr. An thony (one of the defendants), who __tv , was stated in the affidavits to be a creditor of Wardwell s. It was alleged that Miss Hayes after this, and after her letter to Joy, went to Albany, having entered into d freshl contract, and that Anthony thereupon proceeded for the in the Court of New York against Mr. Beale of f m r iss e n p a enalty, and proceeded to attach the monies court.

Mr. MALINS and Mr. CHAPMAN BARBER, for the de fendant, Mr. Beale, denied that the agreement between Mr. Beale and Mr. Wardell was concealed from Miss Hayes, the plaintiff. They stated that the possibility of such a sub-contract had been the subject of con versation in April, at the residence of Miss Hayes, when the agreement of the 30th of April was entered into, that lady herself having suggested that if Mr. Beale found or considered her terms too onerous, he might find many parties who would gladly accept them of him in this manner. In answer to the complaint of Miss Hayes that she had found acting under Dr. Joy's direction obnoxious to her, reliance was placed upon the following passage in one of the lady's letters to Mr. Beale, which was dated on the 2d of November, twelve days before her complaint:—" I have only to say of Dr. Joy, that he is unremitting in his attention to me, and to .very wish of mine; and I believe all the party have but trete feeling towards him, of kindneAs and respect for his mseny good and excellent qualities." The doctor, in his affidavit, deposed thus:—" I say that I behaved myself, on all occasions, with the strictest propriety, and endea voured, in every way, to consult the wishes and conve • nience of the _ said Catherine Hayes, who on many occasio.as stated to me and to various persons that s h e wa s highly satisfied with my conduct towards her in ail respects." It was clear that Mr. Beale was an innocent party here. The contract solemnly entered into with him was deliberately vio lated by Miss Hayes, although it was to Mr. Beale that she was indebted for the suggestions of an American tour. The alleged obnoxiousness of Dr. Joy's direction was a mere subterfuge. The risk had been almost exclusively that of Mr. Beale, with whom, up to the time of breaking off the agreement, she had been on terns of professed friendship. In the letter, part of which had been read, she wrote thus familiarly:— " I trust you will all enjoy the blessings of health. We bon , been visiting Boston, Providence, Hartford, Springfield, all most charming. I hope with the same success which attended our first efforts. * * * Give my b es t love to dear Mrs. B ea l e , M ar i a, and the little ones. I shall look forward to a h a pp y meeting with you all in dear old England. Maria and Henrietta de sire their sincerest love to all, and believe me, my dear Mr. Beale, yours most sineely, CA.TH ERINE HANES. "Adieu, cl?a , r Mr. B ea l e , may " all happiness be yours; kindest regards to your dear father." Mr. Stevens appeared for tho Union Bank. The VICE-CHANCELLOR said, that in this case Mr. Beale had a demand against the plaintiff. It was under her contract, and it was, he apprehended, purely a legal demand. Prima facie Mr. Beale was entitled to pursue all the remedies that malted from that legal demand. It appeared that he was, in fact, suing Miss Hayes in England, in the Lord Mayor's Court. Ire was also suing her in America. What she now asked was an m junction t o res t ra i n him from carrying on these proceedings. The common ground stated in thf!b . T.,w a ' s what would certainly be a ground of equity " btoin ed : b y proved—namely, that the contra c t was Beale from the plaintiff by fraud or misre;ersoeunntdatitt In order to obtain an injunction on that g and show plai n tiff m ust make out some prima facie c ase , this, some ground $9 lead $ ll O Court to *PPP" wi" MONDAY 1852. substance, was the case upon which she relied. Ho forbore making any comment upon the affidavits, be cause upon that part of the case they were all 01 ono side. It was euoieth to say that garded the ground Miss Hayes brought forward, of fraud and misrepresentation, to induce her to enter into the agreement, there was no ev id ence b e f ore the C ourt at present to induce the Court to act upon it. Then there was another ground taken. It appeared that Mr. Wardwell, who bad entered into a contract with Mr. Beale, had assigned the benefit of that contract to a person of the name of Anthony, and upon the allegation that Beale had broken his contract with Wardwell it was stated Anthony was suing Mr. Beale in the United States, and was proceeding to attach the amount claimed by Beale from the , plaintiff, under this agreement , as part of 4r. Beale 's money in her hands. The case, as to this part of it, was, therefore, that Miss Hayes, in respect to this demand, was liable both to Beale and to Anthony, he (Anthony) having signed an attachment in America. This would be an ordinary ca se o f i nterp l eader, and Miss Hayes would be entitled to r e li e f upon the usual terms upon which a plaintiff in an interpleader suit was entitled to relief ; but then th e plaintiff in an interplead er suit, as a preliminary condition to obtaining . th e ass i stance of the Court, must make an affidavit that th ere was no collusion with the defendant in equity. Now, not only was there no affidavit of the plaintiff's here to that effect, but, so far as the Court was at liberty to judge from the circumstances, upon which, his Honour said, he made no comment (as that was not the proper time to make it), ha thought that, judging from these one-sided affidavits, it did not appear to him that the plaintiff could make an affidavit that there was no collusion be tween herself and Mr. Wardwell, or Mr. Anthony, as claiming under Mr. Wardwell. He did not think, there fore, upon that gro un d th at th e p l a i nt iff in the inter pleader suit was entitled to an injunction. He believed that Mr. Anthony might be made a party to the pro ceeding in the Lord M a y or ' s C ourt, if t h e plaintiff de• sired it. But the Court could declare nothing as to that. On the ground he had already mentioned, the absence of any affidavit denying collusion, therefore he declined making any order upon the motion. As to costs, which were asked by Mr. Malins, his Hoefoun said they must be governed by the general rule, that the costs of the motion which failed must be costs in the cause. It is much doubted whether the speed at which the train was travelling at the moment would in itself have led to the engine jumping over the rails, as by the time piece found with the body of the guard it would seem that it had " stopped" precisely at two o'clock from the shock it received, proving distinctly that the run from Aylesbury, not six miles, had occupied 14 minutes. This afternoon, at two o'clock, Mr. Parrott, the co roner fur Aylesbury, opened an inquiry at the Railway Arms Tavern, Cheddington, respecting the death of the unfortunate guard. Captain Bruyeres, the superintendent of the London and North-Western Railway, and Mr. Beresford, the superintendent of the company's police, were present to watch the proceedings. The jury having viewed the body, and evidence being taken as to its identity, The Coroner suggested an adjournment, in order to obtain the opinion of the Government inspector of rail ways, as the accident was one, as far as bad come to hi s knowledge, which demanded the most searching investi gation.

Surely the Halcyon must be their crest. Were it not that a good strong tide helps them now and then, we should h ave a fleet of Flying Dutchmen without wings tacking off the Nore for ever. On Saturday, indeed, there wag some wind, but it was fickle and uncertain ; never coming when required, and blowing feebly at times, then puffing out vigorously, and at last dying away into a calm, as if Boreas—for, he it was who managed the proceedings—was suffering from an inter mittent fever. As for the day itself, it was an interpo lation from the worst part of a bad November. A leaden atmosphere, tinned here and there with fleecy white clouds, stretching out their damp fibrous arms over the horizon or japanned with masses of black vapour marked the whole sky—if sky, indeed, it could be called, except in the sense of its Greek derivative—and a clammy cold fog occasionally revolving itself into a bitter fall of rain, or playfully mitigated into a Scotch mist by the efforts of the wind " to cbmo out strong," settled down upon the river and obscured the lines where mud and water disputed the rights of boundary. The British sailor, amateur or professed, is not to be deterred, how ever, from his sport by more unt'avourable circumstances oven than these. Indeed we are not sure that many a man on Saturday felt ought but satisfaction at the oppor tunity of displaying the wonders of art in caoutchouc and gutta percha with which they were provided in the eyes of the hard-weather ladies who honour such ex cursions with their presence —some from patriotic and nautical feelings, others from motives more closely allied to a regard for champagne lunches or tea and testacea of the shrimp species than they would be will ing to allow. — Soon after nine o'clock the Ruby steamed from the Adelaide-wharf with a considerable company on board, well provided with the modern inventions for defying the elements which adroit manufacturers have devised to meet the severities of our summers, and after steaming down the reaches through files of colliers, amplified by the fog to the size of line-of-battle ships, whisking past dingy flats with their huge brown sails shining sleekly in the wet, she pulled up at Blackwell to receive the commodore, Lord A.

Nowhere could be seen a flat sail braced close to boom and mast and bidding defiance to the wind, which in despite blew it as fast so the "duct could goi 03 On centrum there were ACCIDENT ON THE LONDON AND _NORTH- WESTERN RAIL WAY. AYLESBURY, SATURDAY EVENING.—An accident of a most serious character took place on the Aylesbury branch, near the Cht ddington junction, on Friday after noon. The train which met with the disaster was the 1.45 P.M. passenger train from Aylesbury. It left at its proper time, and consisted of the engine, two breaks, and four carriages. On its arrival at that portion of the road where it is almost on a level, and about one mile and a half from the junction, the engine -driver was alarmed by a sudden shock, as if the engine had come in contact with some heavy substance on the rails. In an instant it mounted the metals, and, taking the permanent way, shot in a slanting direction some 40 or 50 yards, when it passed down a slight embankment, and, forcing its way through a hedge, rolled over into a ditch. At the moment of its leaving the road, the coupling which held one break van to the tender broke, and the train of passenger carriages, having considerable way, went on, but eventually left the rails and ran down the opposite side of the, embankment, where the carriages were thrown in great confusion. The engine-driver, by some extraordinary presence of mind, kept to his en gine to the last, even until it was overturned, and as scon as he had contrived to escape, he rushed to the assistance of the passengers. Although fortunately they were but few i n num b er, with the exception of a lady and child, all were found apparently unhurt except some few bruises. The guard of the train was then searched for, and close to the break van he was disco vered lying on his back to all appearance 4 dead. With all dispatch he was removed; life, however, was found not quite extinct. Ere, however, medical assistance could be procured he breathed his last. An examination of his body showed that he had sustained essential injury in the lower part of the abdomen. It is thought the unfor tunate man, finding the train leaving the rails, got on the top of the break van to throw himself off, and in attempting to escape in that manner fell to the ground, and some portion of the train went over him. His name is George Allen, and he is described to have been a most steady and careful officer. He had been some time in the service of the company, and has left a widow and four children. The stoker was also found to be injured, but not to any considerable extent. The next step on the part of the officers was to ascer tain the cause of the train going off. The end of the rail near the spot where the engine is represented to have left the line was found partly split, as if the flange of the leading wh ee l h a d struck it. This led to an in ference that it mus t h ave b een removed from the joint, whether from accident or otherwise, however, remains to be proved. those concave folds hugging the wind and making the least of it within tbeir-rrees3es. No hollowed bowl swelbree out in a felt bread beam which melted into yiehitng ruin were visible, but in place of such a well proved style of naval architecture we had the Sim straight angular bow, the narrow beam, and the lanky thin run which our clipper builders rejoice in. The wind was light, the tide was strong, and the little fellows bowled along merrily through the mist, the lead being taken by t::e Mouse, which was closely followed by the Kitten. Tne race was not one of great interest, partly because the Volante very soon shook off all competitor?, and partly because the weather was nearly as bud in the day as in the morning. Off Holehaven the match was divided into two squadrons. In the first was the Volante, half a mile ahead of the Musquito, which in turn heeded the Cygnet by another half mile ; the Pauline, Phantom, and Secret following. The rear division was composed of the Zuleike, Whisper, Vesper, Mouse. and Vampire, with th e Kit ten at a great d i stance b e hind. About a mile below Chapman's [lead Light the Coca medoee directed a small boat to be anchored, which the third class boats rounded and re tureed to Eritb. The other boats rounded th e N ore Li g h t i n the following order t FIRST CLASS, SECOND CLASS. h. m. s. h. m. g; Volante ... 3 1 15 Secret ... 3 1 3 1 Musquito ... 3 4 36 Phantom 3 13 0 Cygnet .., ... 3 10 32 Zuleika ... 3 16 5 0 Pauline . 311 6 Whisper 3 20 10 At the Nore the wind freshened and hauled a little round to the north, so that the yachts had to beat 11 P to Erith. Had the weather been fine it would have been a very interesting sight, but as they made their long legs they soon ran out of sight in the fog, though it:wag quite certain the Volante had done her work so well, and was so excellently h an dl e d , that there was no c h anc e of her rivals picking up the water she had made when going free, and that her wesrherly qualities would en able her to b, at them in tacking, as she had done when sailing be fore the wind. The yachts were obliged to get in balloon jibs and gaff topsails and set their ordinary sailing canvas; but there was no close race that we could see except between the Musquito and Secret. the latter of which, however, soon beat to windward of " the big'un," and weathered her in beautiful style. The Ruby ran up to Erith, where she arrived about half-past six o'clock, and then lay to while the yachts rounded the buoy and flag-staff, which, as the wind fell nearly dead away, was a very tedious and uninter esting operation. Amid the booming of guns and the chi ers of the victors the yachts came round the buoy us follows, the race being by this time a mere drift of Fagg on the water : h. m. s.

ROYAL MERSEY YACHT CLUB. A grand and spirited sailing match of this distill. guished club took place on the Mersey on SalurdaY. l3sV. The start took pl ace f rom t h e Marine-station at Birken head, and on a signal from the steamer, by the Commo dore, a gun, the yachts canted round to the wind, the Bacchaute, Aquila, and Vision leading, closely fol lowed by the Seabi r d, S urpr i se, Fidget, and Constance. The race was for two elegant and valuable pr i zes , for the first and second class yachts, time allowed for dif ference of tonnage, the first yacht of each class taking a prize. Much nautical skill was di...played during the contest. The Bacchante showed her power of sailing in a breeze, and it was ev id ent that she would be the winner soon after starting if she escaped being disabled, Elba, other casualties insuperable from a race in a breeze 01 wind, misfortunes which she had encountered during the two years previous. The far-famed yacht Vision wa ll defeated o n thi s occas i on, having also been beaten by the Scotch cutter Aquila. The Vision was not in trim, that was evident, and she may:yet retrieve her lost laurels on a f u t ure matc h. T he S ea bi r d sprun g her boom early in the contest, and left the second class race I entirely between the three small yachts, Surprise, Fidget , and Constanc e , th e Surpris e com i ng i n th e w i nn er of her class, and the Bacchante the first class prize.

After drinking the beaLh of her Majesty. and giving three cheers for the worthy Commodore, the steamer took her company info port and landed them at the Prince's Pier head. It was really a day of enjoy ment, and everybody expressed themselves much de li; hted with the aquatic treat they had witnessed, and the courtesy shown to the company by the officers of the Royal Mersey Yacht Club, under its excellent manage ment, and the best wishes were awarded to its future success. THE COUNTRY MARKETS. alteration iIvE RO t quiet trade to-day, and no 12.—But little change has occurred MANCHESTER, JUNE FL n , ote Jtr in ;tx pri l c 2 e . s — . A in the state of the trade during the week, the demand for ap proved marks of flour of goof secondary quality at 28a 6d to 29s per sack having continued to exceed the supply ; whilst for the best descriptions, as well as for most other articles, the trade has ruled dull, with the turn of prices generally in favour of buyers. Into Liverpool and Runcorn the arrivals from all quarters are on a very moderate scale. At our market this morning only a limited amount of business occurred, and al though the tendency of prices was in some instances slightly , in favour of purchasers, the reduction was not sufficiently marked to enable us to alter our quotations. NOTTINGHAM, JUNE i2.—At Derby there was a slow sale fos every article, at barely previous rates. Wheat, red, 39s to 425; white, 45s to 48s per 36 stone. Barley, for grindings 28s to 30s per 30 stone. The malting season now being over, none for that purpose was inquired for. Oats, 23s to 24s Per 24 stone. Beans, 32s to 35s per 38 stone. Flour, 29s to 3114 super, 33s to 31s per 20 stone. At our own market to-day the supply of wheat was less than last week. Buyers were ex tremely cautious, but they were unable to get it lower. There was no change in the value of oats and beans, WORCESTER, JUNE 12 —Our market to-day was well attended, and farmers were firm in their demands for last week's prices. Millers, however, purchased but sparingll• English wheat from 16s to 17s per bag ; red 14s 6d to 153 6d. Malting barley, 3s 6d to 3s 8d per bushal, and other qualities 3s 3d to 3s 4d.

At Stourbridge wheat was a dull sale, except at a decline of Is per quarter. No demand for malting barley. The ave rage price of barley is under 30s per quarter. Peas and beans were firm at former rates. Little doing in oats. At Stratford-on-Avon market, on Friday, the wheat trade was somewhat more active at last week's rates, and farmers held firmly for the currency of that day se'nnight, but trans actions were limited. Average price of wheat 2/ 4s per quar ter. Barley and oats remain as before, the former averaging 27s 6d, and the latter 22s 6d per quarter. Beans averaged 323 6d per imperial quarter.
