(Continued from our Afternoon Edition.) Mr. Fielding, corn dealer,was examined, and stated that the greater portion of the provisions of the town of Oldham were imported, the land about that town being very sterile. The proposed railway would, in his opinion, be very desirable to Oldham, in consequence of the increase it would occasion in the import of ke rn, and at a considerably cheaper cost than it was brought there at present. The proposed line was shorter by sixteen miles to Wakefield than the line of the Manchester and Leeds Railway, and Wakefield was the chief corn-market. Great delay occurred at the station of the latter railway at Leeds, owing to its over-crowded state. This de lay seriously affected the transit of corn. Cross-examined by Mr. Taratur—The value of this branch was, in his opinion, dependent on the main line being opened. Several other witnesses were called in support of the Bill from the neighbourhood of Oldham, and the Committee were of opinion that they had heard sufficient evidence as to traffic, being of opinion that the receipts of the line were proved, and that the only question for the Committee to decide upon was, as to which company should be permitted to construct it. Mr. Gee, engineer of the line, was then called, and deposed that the gradients and curves were favourable, the gradients being 1 in 100, and that the whole expense, according to the estimate, was 158,000/. The time required for completing the branch was two years. There was one tunnel on the line of 1,320 yards in length. The saving of distance by this line would be about 19 miles between Oldham and Leeds, and between Oldham and Hud dersfield 21 miles. This closed the case for the Bill. Mr. Hawkshaw was then called, and stated that he considered that the Mumps line would meet all the requirements of the neighbour hood, and that the present branch was uncalled for. Mr. Vignoles corroborated this testimony. The Committee then adjourned. EASTERN COUNTIES RAILWAY (THIS DAT) The usual half-yearly general meeting of the shareholders in the Eastern Counties Railway Company was held this afternoon, at the London Tavern, in Bishopsgate-street; Mr. Geo. Hudson, M.P., Chairman of the Board of Directors, in the chair. The advertisement convening the meeting having been read, the Secretary (C. P. Roney, Esq.) read the following report of the directors , " The directors have the pleasure to announce a dividend, for the half-year, of 9s. per share of 141. 16s. each on the consolidated stock of the Eastern Counties Company, and in proportion on the share capital of the Northern and East ern Company. "The increase of traffic during the last half-year has been 86,7181. 7s. over the corresponding six months of 1845, and 28,462/. Os. 10d. in excess of the six months to 4th Ja nuary last, during five months of which the line to Brandon was open. " An increased charge for interest appears in the account for the past half-year; and during the current half-year, it will be further increased in consequence of the opening of the Company's line from Ely to Peterborough, which will be de livered up for traffic by Mr. Peto, at the beginning of Sep tember, fourteen months earlier than he is bound to do by his contract ; on the other hand, there may be anticipated with certainty a large increase of traffic to arise from that extension and from the opening of the Midland Company's line (to be worked by the Eastern Counties Company) from Peterborough to Stamford. The opening of this length will also take place early in September. " Before the next half-yearly meeting of the Company the line of the Eastern Union Company from Ipswich to Stow market and Bury St. Edmunds will have been completed and opened for traffic. It is likewise expected that the line of the Lynn Company from Lynn to Ely will be in operation at no distant period. The opening of these two lines cannot fail to further increase the revenue of this Company. "A double line is asout to be laid from the Broxbourne Junction to Hertford. " In Parliament the directors have used their utmost efforts to obtain extensions of the line to Lincoln and York. In these endeavours they have not at present succeeded. It is, however, their intention, with their engineer, to examine de liberately the entire districts through which they have pro moted lines of railway during the past session, and to take such steps, in the ensuing one, for the general interests of the proprietors and the advantage of the public, as shall be deemed advisable. "The board purposes to proceed immediately with the con struction of the line between Cambridge and St. Ives, and also with the line between St. Ives and Wisbeach, which the directors have agreed to purchase from the St. Ives and Wisbeach Company, subject to the sanction of the proprie tors, in preference to its being leased in perpetuity. The sanction of the meeting will be required to this arrangement. "Acts of Parliament have been obtained to enable the directors to enlarge the London and Stratford stations; to construct a railway from Ilford to Epping; and to connect the Thames Junction Railway by a branch with the Pepper Warehouses at the East India Docks. By authority of one these Acts, the London station of this Company will in future be called The Bishopsgate Station.' The increased accommodation to be afforded by the enlargement of this station has become a matter of urgent necessity for the pur pose of working efficiently the largely increasing traffic in passengers and goods, and no time will be lost in urging forward the necessary works to render it one of the most commodious in the metropolis. "The directors have arranged to alter the former contracts regarding the Thames Junction and North Woolwich Rail ways, and to purchase the former at a net profit, to the pro prietors of that Company, of 7,0001., and to purchase the 'Atter at 3,0001., being the sum expended in obtaining the Act of Parliament. They recommend these purchases to be confirmed by the meeting. The Thames Junction Railway has been opened partially for coal traffic for some weeks, and promises to become a most important accessory to the Cam bridge and Colchester lines. The North Woolwich Railway is in course of construction, and it is anticipated the open ing for passenger traffic will be early in October of this year. "The total amount of capital authorised to be raised under the Acts of Parliament obtained during the last and the present session, including the capitals of the Thames Junction and North Woolwich Railway Companies, is 2,507,000/. " Of this capital, there will be required for the Railway between Cambridge, St. Ives, and Wisbeach, a length of forty-two miles, a sum of about 625,000!., which will have to he provided rateably by the holders of the York Extension shares. "As regards Extension Stock, No. 2, which will absorb 960,0001. more of this capital, resolutions will be submitted to the meeting to place that stock in a permanent position, as portion of the share capital of the Company, carrying a fixed rate of interest in perpetuity." The CHAIRMAN, in moving the adoption of the report, and that the accounts be agreed to, said he was ready to admit that the accounts were not placed so fairly before the meet ing as he could wish, but he pledged himself that at their next half-yearly meeting this defect should be remedied. It was satisfactory that the directors were able to pay the same dividend this half-year that they did last, notwith standing that some of the charges of the past half-year had exceded those of any former period. He estimated the re ceipts of the next half-year at 10,0001. per week or 286,0001. per annum, while, allowing for expenditure 100,000/. for work ing, and 44,0001. for interest, there would remain a balance, which would give a divident of 84 per cent. upon a capital of 2,110,000 of Eastern Counties stock, and 1,180,0001. of Northern and Eastern stock.—(Hear, hear.) It was pro posed to give the olders of the old 141. 16s. shares a bonus of 4/. per share ; there would consequently be a call shortly upon these shares of 1/. 4s. to make up. They had not been so successful in their application to Parliament for extensions as they bad anticipated, but there was this justifying fact to place to the credit of that result, namely, that Parliament had sanctioned no competing schemes likely to injure the traffic of the Eastern Counties line. They had been defeated in their energetic efforts to get to York, but he confidently ex pected, nevertheless, that ere long their line would be ex tended to the north in such a manner is to draw a large quantity of northern traffic on to the Eastern Counties.— ( Hear, hear.) It would be seen that the York Extension shares would have to contribute the capital for making the Cambridge, St. Ives, and Wisbeach line, and he was assured by those who were best informed upen the subject, that this line would be open for traffic in about twelve months.— (Hear, hear.) After complaining of the conduct of Colonel Peel in dividing the House upon the third reading of this Bill in his (the Chairman's) absence, having previously, while he was present, declined to do so—remarking that he bad just as much right, or could with as much justice say, the gallant Colonel was the worst Member of Parliament, as the gallant Colonel had to say the Eastern Counties line was the worst managed in the country. The Chairman went on to comment upon the readiness of the Times to iasert letters in its columns denouncing the delays occasioned on this line. He said he had travelled latterly in and out of the metropolis as much as any one. He had repeatedly met with delaps on lines which he did not think it necessary to name, but, strange to say, no one took the trouble to write to the Times complaining of them. Last Saturday one train he came by was half an hour behind its time, and he could mention innumerable instances where these delays had lately occurred.—(Hear, hear.) Now what were the delays the letters in the Times complained of ? Why, during the last three months they had, exclusive of Sundays, run 4,448 trains, running a distance of 27,464 miles, and yet the delay on the average had only been three-quar ters of a minute per train.—(Hear, hear.) He admitted that delays more or less did occasionally occur, but with the casu alties which were attendant upon the running a railway train, it was utterly impossible to avoid them.—(Hear, hear.) So largely did they estimate the future traffic, that they had ordered 400 new carriages. They were going to centralise their locomotive department, and it would be seen by the re port that they had already obtained powers for increasing their metropolitan station-room. When they obtained this room, he would defy any one to say there would be the remotest necessity for gentlemen writing letters to the Times.--(Hear, hear, and laughter.) The line, considering the difficulties it had to contend against—the want of station room and inconvenient position of its locomotive and car riage department—was, he would repeat, as well managed as any line in the country, he thought the meeting would o appreciate the animus near t , he la Times in publishing its anonymous attacks. —(gear, hear.) He concluded by moving the adoption of the accounts ear and report, and ex pressing his readiness to answer prietors might wish to put to him.— (Lit'lruehations the pro ,syvas the A PROPRIETOR wished to know what'theeVn directors proposed to bring forweled from Lincolnitoe The CHAIRMAN must decline answering that question. ? H e b a d once or twice disclosed some of his schemes, an,d_ e t a h r e consequence was they were filched from him.—(Hear, hear.) A deposit of 10s. per share had been paid upon the York shares, and if the Honourable Proprietor objected to the line he could have his 10s. back again. A PROPRIETOR asked when it was proposed to call the 11. 4s. upon the old shares, which the chairman had said it was proposed to make, for the purpose of making the 14/. 16s. shares the holders a bonus of 41. T that he was not in a position to h CHAIRMAN 4% 90/. shares, giving 1 0 answer that question: '", The same PROPRIETOR asked, whether the dividend of 81. per cent., to be paid next Christmas, would be paid at the rate of 141. 16s. per share or 20/. per share? The CitmamAN said it would be paid on the 14/. Ns. The resolution was then put and carried unanimously. The diaend was then declared payable the 13th of August, nail day week. A resolution in accordance with the last paragraph in the , .• report was then moved from the chair and carried unani mously. The CHAIRMAN next proposed a resolution approving the purchase of the St Ives and and Wisbeath, Eastern Counties and Thames Junction, and the North Woolwich lines. It 'Was unanimously agreed to. The thanks of the meeting was then passed to the Chair man an ,' Directors. Thq ) Cri., ‘AN, in acknowledging the'compliment, made a f ew bb serv ,:tiOns on the subject of the recent accident.

No parties I were more anxious to secure the safety of their passengers I than that board over which he presided, and for this purpose they were always anxious to secure the services of efficient servants. His own policy was always to secure the sympa thies of the secretary down to the labourers on the line in its future success ; but no exertions, however skilful or sin cere, could at all times avert accidents on the best regulated railways. The meeting then separated. LARNE, BELFAST, AND BALLY- MENA RAILWAY.—(THIS DAY.) A meeting of the scripholders of this Company was held ,o-day, at the London Tavern, Bishopsgate-street, for the purpose of receiving a report of the directors, and of adopting such measures as might be deemed expedient. Mr. Andrew Spottiswoode took the chair. The SECRETARY read the report of the directors, from which we make the following extracts : " The directors who represent the Company are prepared at once to resign the trust reposed in them to such other mem bers of the company as the scripholders may elect, not, how ever, with the view of relieving themselves from responsi bility, for they would suggest the introduction of a clause in the Bill to facilitate the recovery from the parties at present liable for any moneys which may hereafter be found to have been improperly expended." " Should the scripholders decide upon the expediency of proceeding with it, the Directors submit that there is every reasonable prospect of its being a most valuable investment.'" "But, supposing for a moment that there could be a doubt as to the line answering, the Directors would urge the pro bability of an advantageous arrangement with the Belfast and Ballynena Railway." The SECRETARY then read a balance sheet of the receipts and disbursements up to the present time, from which it appeared that there was a balance of 11,4891. ls. ld., sub ject to various claims, estimated at 8,3931., which would leave a balance of 3,0961., or about is. 6d. per share upon the shares in the hands of the public. No motion was made for the adoption of the report. Mr. COWAN, one of the scripholders, was of opinion that the report of the Select Committeeof Parliament rendered it impossible to proceed with the Bill, and he was astonished that the chairman and the directors should come forward now and exhibit such want of self-respect and unblushing disre gard of the great and culpable irregularities which had come out on the evidence before that Committee, as to advise the meeting to proceed with the Bill. Mr. CowaY then read portions of the evidence criminating the directors, and after a lengthened appeal to the meeting on the gross mis-statements of the directors and their several mismanagement, proposed the following resolution ;—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the Larne and Belfast Railway Company was virtually dissolved on the 28th day of May last, when a meeting of shareholders was held for the purpose of assenting to or dissenting from the further progress of the undertaking. Because 1,180 shares that were on that occasion recorded in favour of the undertaking were shares purchased by the directors with the paid-up deposits of the shareholders. This being an unfair mode of creating a majority of votes ought not to be admitted. Consequently the non-assenting shareholders were in a majority of 830 to 800." Mr. MAnsixam seconded the motion which was carried by a majority of 13 to 6. Another resolution that further proceedings with the Bill should be stayed, was also carried. The general feeling of the meeting being that the Com pany should be dissolved; it was agreed upon by the share. holders and directors, that as the present meeting could not be considered one in conformity with the Earl of Dalhousie's Act, another meeting should be convened as soon as possi ble for the purpose of taking into consideration the propriety of dissolving the company. The meeting then -idjourned. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. (THIS EVENING.) HOUSE OF LORDS• - The Earl of SHAFTEIBURY took his seat upon the Woolsack at Five o'clock. Messengers from the Commons brought up several Bills, and praying their Lordships' concurrence. SUGAR DUTIES. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from the Convention of the Royal Burghs of Scotland, in which they express their gratification at the passing of the Bill for the abolition of the corn-laws, and now pray for the equalization of the sugar duties. The NOBLE LORD also presented a petition from the town of Newport in Wales in favour of the Bill for the better recovery of small debts. AMENDMENT OF LAW (IRELAND). The NOBLE LORD also obtained leave to bring in two Bills, for the improvement of the law in Ireland. One was entitled the Interpleaders' Act and the other the Mandamus Prohibition Act. These Bills were read a first time. MARRIAGES (IRELAND) AC r AMENDMENT Zealand Company Bill were read a third time and passed. POST-OFFICE. Mr. T. DU . ..1 . C05113E presented a petition from Tho mas Mitcham, a letter-carrier, complaining of the hard ship of being dismissed from the Post-office in conse quence of having given evidence before Mr. Peacock, the solicitor to that establishment, and praying for inquiry. CORK AND WATERFORD RAILWAY. On the motion of Mr. WYSE, the Bill was ordered to be read a second time on Friday next- Captain PECHELL presented, pursuant to notice, a petition from the Rev. Edward Duncombe, rector of Newton Kyme, in the county of York, complaining of the misappropriation, by the York Central Diocesan Society, of the sum of 3,500/., granted by the Committee of Council of Education for the purpose of building Normal Training Schools for the benefit of the children of the labouring classes. The Hon. Member gave notice of his intention to-morrow that the petition Le presented. VAN DIEMEN'S LAND. Mr. HUME presented a petition from the free colo nists of Van Diemen's Land, setting forth the hard ships under which they laboured, and praying for a representative from Parliament. On the motion of Sir GEORGE GREY, a Select Committee was appointed for the revision of the stand ing orders relating to Private Bills, consisting of Mr. Estcourt, Mr. Strutt, Captain Ives, Mr. Gibson Craig, and Mr. Greene. FLOGGING IN THE ARMY. Sir J. C. HOBIIOUSE presented a petition from Nottingham complaining of the practice of flogging in the army, and praying the House to take the subject into consideration. Mr. HUME moved for a return of the number of floggings that had taken place in the army during the past year. MORTALITY IN THE ARMY. Mr. HUME also moved for returns of the mortality in the British army in different parts of the world during the past year. DEBT AND PRIZE MONEY. Sir HENRY—NVINSTONBARRON rose, pursuant to notice, to put the following questions to the Presi dent of the Board of Control:—What was the amount available of the debt and prize money since the last distribution of the Deccan Prize Money ?—Had the Nagpore jewels, in the custody of the East India Com pany at Benares, been adjudicated, as set forth in the Printed Paper of the House of Commons, as printed in the year 1838 ?—When will the distribution of the debt and prize money take place ; and has the dispute which prevented the distribution of the said prize money been settled, if not what is the nature of the dispute ? Sir J. C. HOBHOUSE said that the last distribution of the Deccan prize money took place in 1842, and not as stated by the Hon. Member in 1838. With reference to the other questions, he thought the Hon. Member had better move for a continuation of the returns moved for by the Hon. Member for Montrose on a former occasion on this subject. QUARANTINE LAWS. Captain LAYARD wished to ask the Secretary for the Home Department, whether Sir William Pym, Superintendendent General of Quarantine, had within the last two years been employed by Government to pro ceed to the Continent for the purpose of obtaining in formation on the subject of quarantines from the au thorities of different places, or for some other purpose ; and to know if he made a report on his return ; and, if he made a report, whether there be any objection to its being printed, and laid on the table of the House ; also that Government may institute an inquiry, by com petent persons, as to the nature of the fever which pre vailed last year on board her Majesty's ship Eclair; and if shown to have been the true yellow or black-vomit fever, that the inquiry should then extend to the ques tion as to whether it has been proved that such a disease is transmissible from persons labouring under it to others in health. _ _ Mr. M. GIBSON said Sir W. Pym was employed to inquire on the subject, and the report had been laid on the table of the House; with regard to the second question, he said that there had been an inquiry into the subject of the fever, and the result wa, that Sir W. Pym, one of the persons appointed to in quire into the subject, came to the conclusion that it was an infectious disease, and Sir W. Barnett had arrived at a contrary opinion on the subject. SECONDARY PUNISHMENTS. Mr. HUME gave notice that upon Monday next he would ask some questions of the Government relative t. the subject of secondary punishments. Mr. PROTHEROE moved for copies of any corres pondence between the First Lord of the Treasury and the Master of tha Rolls, in the year 1845, respecting the building of a Public Record Office.—Agreed to. RELIGIOUS OPINIONS BILL. The order of the day for the second reading of the Religious Opinions Bill, on the motion of Lord J. RUSSELL, was then read. Lord J. RUSSELL would wish, on this order being read, to make a short statement respecting the nature of these Bills, and he might first observe that the greater part of these Acts were altogether unworthy of being retained on the statute-book. These Bills might be divided into various classes, and among the first might be stated an ordinance which prevented any Roman Ca tholic from holding lands in this country. There was no doubt of the general desire to gat rid of this nuisance. The next in this class was that which required that all Jews were required to now a badge of degradation. This was a power which he thought no one would wish to re • taM. All Jews were were admitted to all the privilege. of the Constitution, and it would therefore be absurd to keep up a distinction which had been practically abolished already. The next class of Acts which he was desirous of sweeping from the statute book was, that which im posed penalties for not attending public worship ac cording to the rites of the Established Church. By tht 5 and 6 Edward VI., any offender was liable for the first offence to imprisonment for six months, for the second to premunire, and for the third to the penalties of higl treason, when any party was proved not to be in connec tion with the Established Church. By the 29th Eliza beth, every person not attending public worship in the Established Church, was liable to a penalty of 201., and for a second offence was liable to it forfeiture of all his goods. The next class of Act: which it was desirable to repeal, were those which also induced prosecution for religious opinions. and especially those which instituted punishment for allowing the supremacy of the Pope in this country. The Act itself was one of the reign of Elizabeth directed against Popish recusants. It was subsequently enlarged in the time of James, and imposed for the first offence the fine; for the second, loss of all the goods and chat tels of the offender; and for the third, the punishment of a premunire. He (Lord John Russell) thought there was little to fear from the Pope's supremacy in this conntry in the present day, and that the Act might with safety be erased from the statute-book. He said Lord Denman and several eminent judges had given their opinion against these enactments, and there fore the Government was convinced that there was no danger whatever of the supremacy of the Crown in this country. He did not think there was any advantage in keeping up these penalties ; that the mere assertion that the Pope ought to have supremacy in this realm, if it were the person's opinion that it ought not to be punished. If any person made his assertion of the Pope's supre macy in such a shape as to bring it beforf a court of law; he would be dealt with according to the common law of the country. These Acts, the 13th of Elizabth for example, were enacted in times when there certainly was an assertion of the authority of the Pope. and an attempt was made to free men from their alle giance to the throne of this country by authority of the Pope, and after that time all persons who introduced bulls into the country were pronounced guilty of high treason. Now the question was, whether it was desirable to keep up the penalty for this. He said it was not iii the power of any one to prevent the introduction of bulls into this country. These were necessary for the appointment of bishops and priests in the Roman Catholic community, and it w a s f u lly t o thi n b . of preventing their being introduced. Supposing such an attempt to be made as they had read of in forme) days ; and yet it was extravagant to suppose that any attempt should be made by the Pope to interfere with the Sovereign authority of this country ; and be did not believe that any Roman Catholic would be affected by any bull to that effect, still if any one acted under if SO as to infringe the common law of the country, he would be indicted on a charge of high treason, and law would deal with the offence. If there was anything treasonable in these bulls, they would be reached by the law of the country, and if there was nothing in them of a treasonable character why then it was unnecessary to maintain those laws. He would say that after the Bill had passed, it certainly might give rise to some confusion in the law, though no contradiction. There was nothing in the Bill intro duced to alter the oath which was now taken, and which would continue to be taken, namely, that the Pope neither has nor ought to have, any jurisdiction, eccle siastical or spiritual. in these realms, while, at the same time. There could be no doubt that he actually exer cised such authority. Such was the case at present, and so it would remain after the Bill had passed. He always interpreted the oath to be, that in the opinion of the person taking it no jurisdiction of the Popes' in this country could be enforced by law, and ought not to be so, but at the same time he thought it was not to be taken without proper consideration. He did not intend, on the passing of the present Bill, to relieve the people from the necessity of that oath. He thought that it was desirable to introduce this Bill alone, as its intro duction with any others of a similar nature might impair its benefit. The late Government came to the conclu sion that such a Bill was necessary, and Lord Lyndhurst thought that it would be more desirable to introduce the Bill alone than to encounter the difficulties attendant on the protracted consideration of it which would inevitably ensue if it remodelled the whole ques tion of religious opinions. He did not wish to give any opinion on the other parts of the subject, but he thought the House would do right to remove many of the ab surd penalties which could now be inflicted by the pre sent system of legislation ; and, with that impression, he should move that the Bill be read a second time. Col. SIBTHORPE said that he had always pursued one course of conduct in that House, and he always would do so. He did not bear any unchristian feeling towards those who differed from him in opinion, but he certainly was attached to the national form of worship, and he could not subscribe, and never would subscribe, to any omission of a ;departure from the rules necessary to establish its supremacy in this empire. lle knew the Bill bad been prepared in another place by the Lord Chancellor, but the high position of the authority from whom it proceeded would not preclude him from offering it his most determined opposition, for he considered it might be both too passive and too active. He knew his opposition would be futile, but nevertheless ho shoald not hesitate to enter his pro test ag nto a f in t s h t e it na n t o u w re , a e n i d h r is es e e p ry pe e si n tie m n o , re un d t e i t i ai t l h ed e f s u t t a u t r e e - B s t a a r g o e u s eotf the the MemberH e fe r r eg t r h e e tte u d n i v h e e re a i b ty sen ef ee o o x f i t e h r e d H o e r. R. H. Inglis), because he vs as satisfied he also would have opposed the measure. The Noble Lord (J. Rus sell) had endeavoured to console the House on the subject. This was a happy knack on the part of the Ministers, in order to enable them to get comfortably over the ses sion. They should not, bowever, forget that they had got in because the others were an extremely bad set. — (A laugh.) They promised well, as they had not yet de ceived the House—(Hear) —and he should not entertain . a bad opinion of them until they did deceive the llouse. He objected particularly to that portion of the Bill re lating to oaths, and considered that the Bill, as it stood, would have the effect of undermining the national Church. Sir H. W. BARRON entertained great respect for the National Church of this country. If the Gallant Colonel had such great veneration for our ancestors, he might have recollected that they established the Roman Catholic religion, and had handed down every great principle which was worth contending for in that House; and that a Roman Catholic Archbishop forced the tyrant King John to sign the Magna Charter. He was not going then to enter at large into this ques tion, but he believed no man could contradict this simple fact, that the acts of their ancestors, which the Gallant Colonel so much remained and so much eulogised, were the acts of Roman Catholics.—(Hear, hear.) Now, with regard to the principles of the Bill itself, he would only say one word. One of the oaths proscribed to be taken by Members on entering that House was, he would not tolerate the spiritual jurisdiction of any foreign Prince in this country, and yet it was notorious that the Pope of Rome had an established and acknowledged jurisdic tion over the Roman Catholic Church in this country. Mr. ESTCOURT complained of the time at which this Bill was introduced, when the greater proportion of Members had left town.—(Hear, hear.) The Bill bad only been in the hands of Hon. Members for a rew hours, and he could not be supposed to be acquainted with the provisions of the Bill. The Noble Lord who introduced the measure had said that bulls were per fectly necessary to enable the professors of the Roman Catholic religion to act in a proper manner. He (Mr. Estcourt) did not know how correct that statement was, but he found that there had existed for a great number of years a law prohibiting their introduction into this kingdom, and he thought it too much that at so short a notice, the House should be called upon to repeal that law, and consent to the importation of bulls. He thought that the provisions in the Bill regarding oaths should be postponed until the subject could be considered in connection with a Bill cf a more general nature. He hoped that the Bill would not be pressed forward the present session. He considered this was not the way in which the House should be treated. The Hon. Member concluded by moving that the Bill be read a second time this day three months. ------- Mr B. ESCOTT supported the Bill, but complained that the previous Bill contained clauses which the pre sent did not, while the present Bill had important clauses not in the other Bill. It was his desire, at a future stage of the Bill, to submit some clauses to give greater effect to the measure, and he trusted the Noble Lord would have no objection to his doing so, or to their introduction. Mr. SPOONER entirely concurred in what had fallen from the Honourable Member for the University of Oxford, and if he pressed his amendment to a divi sion he would vote with him against the Bill. He considered it was improper to press the Bill forward at the present period of the session. He certainly thought that this Bill ought to be post poned, for he conceived that the discussion should not be taken now, at so late a period of the session, when many of the Members had left London without any ex pectation that the Bill would at all be brought on at the present moment, at still less thatit would be brought on at all at this part of the session. On these grounds he thought that the Noble Lord would assent to the postponement of the Bill till next session. Then with regard to the penalties to be imposed for the spread of sedition in this country, he would beg to ask the Hon. and Learned Attorney-General how, when under the oath of supre macy, they were bound to resist the exercise of any supreme authority whether ecclesiastical or civil , they were to meet the influence of a bull quasi, a bull which was purely an ecclesiastical document emanating from ecclesiastical authority. No action at common law could meet it, and these was therefore clearly a fallacy in the assertion that sedition, spread by means of a bull of the Pope, could be stopped by any such means. Mr. HENLEY said he rose. merely to give his rea sons for the vote he intended to give on this Bill. Ile said the Hon. Member for the University of Oxfo d complained of being called on to vote on this Bill, which had been circulated only to-day, and the more, that it was at this period of the session. If this had been a new matter, upon which they were entering, he (Mr. Henley) would have agreed with the Hon. Member; but this Bill had been all but substantially introduced by an Honourable Member at a previous period of the session. The Ministers of the then Government advised the withdrawal of his Bill, because another was in the Upper House virtually including all the principles contended for in it. That Bill recited, he believed, all the Acts which the present' Bill recited. This was the way he got over the question of time. What, then, was there in the Bill itself which any one could object to? He could not, for the life of him, see anything to object to in the substance of the Bill. It did harm to no one, and if it did no more good to any one, the Bill ought to be passed out of con sideration of the prejudices of their Roman Catholic fellow-subjects. Indeed, it was ,happily become the policy of the times, and, for his parr, he said, if there was a mark against any man, in God's name let it be removed. As for the Act of Supremacy, which had been introduced on that occasion, he did not see that that at all interfered with that Act ; for it was his opinion, that all who at present took the oath of supremacy would continue to have to take it if this Bill passed. With regard to many parts of the Bill, he believed that every Member in that House was in somo way or other ,übject to some of the penalties which it abolished. He could see no harm or danger to any one institution in the Bill, and therefore he should vote for a measure which would in many respects be a very useful one. The House then divided, when there appeared, For the second reading For the amendment Majority The Bill w•as then read a second time, and orderel to be committed. SUGAR DUTIES BILL. On the motion being put for going into Committee on this Bill, Mr. V. SMITH rose to put a question of which he had given notice, to the Under Secretary of State for the Colonies. He wished to know if any alteration had been made in Mr. Secretary Gladstone's arrangement for the appointment of Under Secretary to the Colonial Department. Mr. Gladstone had deter mined upon a gentleman to the office who had not been previously connected with the department, and this system was considered to be unjust to the gentlemen connected with the Colonial-office. Mr. Gladstone proposed to sweep away not only the head clerkship, but also the probationary clerks of the office, and ho thought such a course of conduct was highly objectionable, and caused a great amount of in jury to a very valuable class of persons, he alluded to the clerks in the Colonial-office. The more manly course to have adopted, would have been to come down to the House and state that there was a necessity for an Assistant-Se cretary, lie would have gladly supported such a propo sition, but he objected to any insinuation to create a ne w office. He had made this short statement in order to call the Hon. Gentleman to the consideration of the question. Mr. HAWES declined at the present moment enter ing into the subject involved in the question of the lion. Member. Until he had had more experience of the office, and had consulted with the Right Ho nourable Gentleman the previous Secretary of the colonies, he did not think he would be in a proper position to give the answer required. The officer, how ever, who had been referred to, had proved a most effi cient officer. With regard to the clerks in the office, he would bear witness to their general efficiency, and he fully and cheerfully gave his testimony to that effect. Mr. HOME thought, if the clerks were so efficient, they ought to be better treated than they were, and should not have parties placed over their heads in the way referred to. Lord J. RUSSELL said, that in reference to the office of Assistant-Secretary, the duty was a very pe culiar one, the party filling it having the examination of all colonial matters. The appointment was, therefore, t very important one, and should be carefully made. He was quite ready to agree to the proposition that the important business of legislation could not be carried on whilst the services of gentlemen, who were acquainted with the principles and the practice of the law, and especially in the important office of an Under-Secretary of State. But it seemed to him that in this case the interests of the senior clerks ought not to be neglected. The duties of these gentlemen were sufficiently onerous, and there were not too many persons to perform them. The appointment of Mr. Rogers appeared to be a very proper one, and he did not think that any want of judgment had been made, or any erroneous feeling exhibitited, in putting a gentleman into that position who was intimate wiih the routine of its duties. _ The Earl of LINCOLN thought that as reference had been made to the conduct of a Right Hon. Friend of his, he might be allowed to say a few words to the House. He had held a conversation with his Right Hon. Friends at the time on this very subject, though not an official correspondence, and he could assure the lion. Member for Montrose, that the gentleman who had been appointed to the Assistant -Secretaryship was selected, not because he was a stranger, but because he was a lawyer, and acquainted with the duties of the office. After a few words from Mr. WOOD, The House went into Committee on the Bill, and the several clauses were read, and agreed to. The House resumed, and the report was ordered to be brought up to.mnrrow. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. The reports of the Copyhold Bill—The Turnpike Act Bill—The Stock-in-Trade Bill—The Highway Rates Bill, and the Loan Societies Bill were read and received, and the Bills were ordered to be read a third time to morrow. The Forms (Assessed Taxes) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. THE SPIRIT LICENSE BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a secoUER nd time that , The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQ said he had lately received a deputation from the chemists in London, and he had desired them to go to the chair man of the Board of Excise. Ile had understood that all objections were removed, and came into the House with that impression ; but since be came into the House he found that they were not entirely so. He was ready to make such alterations as might be considered necessary. Mr. WAKLEY WAS by no means satisfied with this Bill. It would be supported by the wholesale dealers because it would throw a monopoly into their bands. It would render it necessary for 3,000 more druggists to take out licenses under this Bill, or they would not be safe in having a still or even a retort upon the premises. [LEFT SPEAKING.] BILL On the motion of Lord CAMPBELL, this Bill went through Committee. JOINT-STOCK BANKS IN SCOTLAND. The Earl of CLARENDON moved the second reading of the Joint' Stock Banks in Scotland Bill. The Earl of EGLINTOUN said he would not con tinue his opposition to the Bill, because the Scottish bankers had withdrawn theirs. Ho still, however, re tained his opposition to anv interference with the present system of banking in Scotland. The Earl of RADNOR said, he thought that the system of banking in both countries might be assimn lated; but when the system carried on in Scotland gave universal satisfaction to the people of Scotland, and the system pursued here worked anything but satisfactorily, he thought it would be wrong to assimilate a good system with a bad one. The Scotch system gave that satisfaction for a period of one hundred and fifty years, and the introduction of an altered system must lead to confusion. He was not surprised that the cir cumstance which led to the Noble Lord's withdrawal of his opposition, namely, the bankers no longer offer ing any opposition, because it would give them a monopoly. Lord CAMPBELL said that the present Bill had been for upwards of twelve months under consideration by the late Government, so that no new principle was introduced. That system had been found to work well in this country, for notwithstanding what had been said it had had the effect, during the mania for speculation, to prevent spurious banks being got up. He would, therefore, support the second reading of the Bill. The Earl of EGLINTON explained his opinions with respect to the principle, not only of the present measure, but former Banking Bill, The Bill was then read a second time. CHESTER RETURNING OFFICER'S BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR, in compliance with the notice he had given on last Thursday, moved the third reading of the Bill. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA WASTE LANDS. Lord LYTTELTON wished to ask a question from the Noble Lord the Secretary for the Colonies—it was with reference to New Zealand. There were a great many difficulties connected with this subject, but he hoped that the present Government would consider it their duty to take some notice of a measure which the late Government had in contempla tion, and which he believed would be of the utmost im portance, and the principles of which met with the greatest concurrence. He desired to know what were the intentions of the Government respecting that measure? The second question which he desired to ask was with regard to a measure respecting the Australian Waste Lands, which was also introduced by the late Government, and laid upon the table of the House. _ _ Earl GREY said he hoped that the Government would be able to pass both measures this session, late as it was. The draft of the Bill was found in the office when the Government came into power, and he consi dered it was most necessary that some Bill should pass regulating the future Government of New Zealand. With regard to the second Bill, the Government found it ne cessary to modify it in some particulars, but they fully agreed in the principle of the Bill. He proposed to in troduce it on Tuesday next, and he would then move its second reading, and desire that the House should go into Committee pro fornzd, in order that he could state what alterations he should propose. POOR-LAW REMOVAL BILL. Lord GREY moved the second reading of the Poor law Removal Bill. He would not ask their Lordship's to pass it if it was to be a final measure, for the subject of settlemant would require the most serious attention of Parliament at a very early period. Reserving final legislation on the law of settlement, the question now was, should they interfere with the exist ing evils which wore well-known to attend the operation of the present poor-law. By the law, as it now stood, if a poor man went in early life into the manu facturing districts and passed a considerable por tion of his life there, he was not entitled to any relief, should he require it. This, it would be generally 1 adinitted, was a great hardship ; and it was to meet that case that the Bill was introduced. A strong ex pectation was excited when the Corn-law Bill was intro duced, that such a measure would be brought forward, and it was to meet that feeling that he asked their Lordships to give the Bill a second reading. The Duke of RICHMOND objected to the Bill. He thought that as the whole law of settlement was to be considered next session, it would not be advisable to in terfere now with the law of removal. This was one of the boons which was promised to accompany the corn laws.—(Laughter.) He was against union settlement s , as he believed that they would grind the poor to th e dust. He agreed that the hardship pointed out by the Noble Earl was very great, but instead of any tempo rary regulation of the law they ought not to interfere till a permanent measure was brought forward. As he considered that this Bill would give rise to a great deal of litigation, and as he considered that such an important question should not be lightly touched, he would press upon the Noble E ar l t h e propr i ety o f postpon i ng hi s Bill till next session. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH objected to the Bill. It was not the Bill which was nt intended to be brought forward by the late Government, there fore support it. Th weree. n , and he could not theiinfttrboeduced into Earl GREY—It is the same Bill exactly. Earl E s L ay LE t N ha ß t Ol a Il°teljraGtillon7 same, -it in the House of Commons which completely changed it from that contemplmted by the late Government-al supplementary to the Corn Bill. Lord REDESDALE supported the Bill. The general principle of the Bill he was most happy to adopt, tho ug h ha thought it admitted of further amendments. (LEFT SITTING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the chair shortly before Four. REPORTS. The reports o the Bishop of Norwich's (North Lynn Rectory) Estate Bill, Borthwick Estate Bill, and Lowe stoft Chart Estate Bill, were agreed to. THIRD READINGS. The Manchester and Lincoln Union Railway, and Cheatetfield and Gainsborough Canal Bill, and the New LAW IN TELLIGEN CE. JUDGES' CHAMBERS, SERGEANTS' INN, August 5. (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON.) COMMITTAL GF MR. RICHARD DUNN, 211 E BARRISTER, TO NEWG ATE. Mr. Richard Dunn, the barrister, was brought up in the custody of Inspector Shackell, and Sergeants Langley and Shaw, of the detective police, before the Lord Chief Baron at chambers, on a warrant which had had been issued by Mr. Justice Patteson. It will be recollected that in the course of the session held at the Central Criminal Court in June last, Miss Burdett Coutts and some of the other partners of the banking-house of Coutts and Co. preferred a bill before the grand jury against Mr. Richard Dunn, for wilful and corrupt perjury, the defendant having gone and attempted to sue out a fiat of bankruptcy before Mr. Commissioner Holroyd against Miss Burdett Coutts, alleging that she had given him the authority to draw on the banking-house for 100,0004, and that she had committed an act of bankruptcy. After a true bill had been found, an application was made to Mr. Justice Patteson for a warrant for the appre hension of the defendant, which was granted ; five days after the defendant applied fin• a writ of certiorari, to remove the indictment from the Central Criminal Court to the Queen's Bench, which was ultimately granted, the de fendant being directed to enter into his own recognisance of 200/. and two housekeepers in COL each. Some weeks, however, elapsing, and Mr. R. Dunn not complying with the terms, the warrant was given to Inspector Shackell to execute, and on Tuesday evening Shacked, with the aid of Langley and Shaw, succeeding in taking the defendant into custody, at his residence, in New-street, Covent-garden. At first the learned gentleman exhibited a great deal of re sistance, threatening to blow the officers' brains out, but after a little while he became more quiet, and walked with them to the Bow-street station of police, where he was locked up for the night, and from whence he was removed to Sergeants' Inn. Upon the case being called on before his Lordship, Mr. JAHN IN, from the office of a Mr. Humphreys, the soli citor to the prosecution, said he had to apply to his Lordship to commit Mr. Richard Dunn to Newgate, for not having complied with the terms of the order of Mr. Justice Patte son, that of attempting to enter into bail without giving the necessary notice to the prosecutor. Mr. Dunn said that he was not bound to give any notice of bail, as the writ of certiorari completely superseded the warrant, and he then proceeded at great length to re-argue the case, and said he was prepared, by affidavit, to support the facts. He would now read the affidavit. The LORD CHIEF BARON declined to hear the affidavit read. The simple question before him was his non-compliance with the writ and the warrant, and he had no other alternative but to commit the defendant if the prosecutor pressed it. Mr. JARMAN said that every lenity had been exercisd to wards Mr. Dunn, but as it appeared that he was trying to take advantage of their forbearance, it was necessary to en force the warrant. Mr. Dunn denied taking any advantage:. The fact was, everything that could be done to prosecute him was daily called into action ; that whenever he got bail the prosecutor took care to alarm them, and the consequence was, he had been prevented from obtaining bail ; and as the 8 and 9 W. 111., cap. 33, declared that in all cases of writs of certiorari there was no occasion to give notice of bail, he was determined to act upon his right. The LORD CIIIEF BARON doubted the construction of the clause as put upon it by ➢lr. Dunn; but said he would send for the Clerk of the Crown Office, and consult him on the point. The further proceedings were accordingly adjourned for the attendance of the Clerk of the Crown Office, and when the case was again called on, The Loin:. CHIEF BARON said that he found that Mr. Dunn was right, and if he had his bail in attendance he would take the required recognisances at once. Mr. Hetherington, a member of the Irish bar, of South ; place, South-square, Gray's Inn, then presented himself as one of the bail tbr Mr. Durin. Mr. JARMAN cross-examined the Learned Gentleman as to the length of his residence at the above place, which ap peared to be about four months. Mr. Dunn said that was sufficient. Mr. JARMAN contended that the law required that the person who offered himself as bail should have resided for twelve months, and paid the parochial and assessed taxes. The Loan CHIEF BARON overruled th© objection, and said he should accept Mr. Hetherington as one of the bail. Mr. Kempler, of the Borough, then offered himself, and was objected to on the ground that he was not a house keeper. Tne LORD CHIEF BARON said the objection was fatal. Mr. Dunn then wanted to have his own recognisances in creased from 2001. to 5001, and to have but one surety. The LORD CHIEF BARON said he could not alter the terms which had been laid down ; and if the application was pressed, he had no alternative but to convict. Mr. JARMAN said he was instructed to press for the com mittal of Mr. Dunn. The LoRD CHIEF BARON then signed the warrant for Mr. Dunn 's committal, saying, at the same time, if in case he could get another surety by to-morrow, he would take his bail, and send down his discharge. Mr. Dunn said that his committal was illegal, and he would not let the matter rest here.. He was then handed over to the custody of the cflicers who had apprehended him, when he was conveyed to New gate, and delivered into the custody of Mr. Cope, the go vernor. Mr. Dunn, while waiting to get his own recog nisances in the outer office, declared that he would get his case brought before the House of Commons, although he might not be more than a day in Newgate. THE ARMY. As some inaccurate statements have gained circulation on the subject of the probable movements of the regi ments intended for the Cape, we are requested to state that the precise arrangement is as follows :—The 2d battalion of the Rifle Brigade will move from the Island of Corfu to Gibraltar, there to await the arrival of the Gth Foot from Cork. Both regiments will proceed together from the Rock to the Cape, and will be con veyed, as stated some time since, by steamers. The 2d (the Queen's Bays) and the 13th (Prince Albert's Light Infantry) are mentioned as likely to have new colours presented to them very shortly. We have reason to believe that in both cases the cere mony will be performed by Lady Pakenham, although it is reported that his Royal Highness Prince Albert will officiate in the latter. The army in Ireland for the present month consists of the 2d Dragoon Guards, Dublin ; Ist Dragoons, I3alin colig 2d Dragoons, Dublin ; 6th Light Dragoons, Long ford ; Bth Hussars, Caher ; 10th Light Dragoons, Dublin ; 17th Lancers, Dundalk ; depot of Ist battalion Ist Foot, Dublin ; ditto 15th Foot, at Water ford ; ditto 16th Foot, at Athlone ; ditto 19th Foot, at Bo) le ; 26th Foot, Enniskillen ; 30th Foot, Dublin ; depot of 33d Foot, at Birr in the King's County ; ditto of 34th Foot, at Clonmel ; ditto of 38th Foot, at Londonderry ; 41st Foot, Mullingar ; 44th, Nenagh ; 47th, Dublin ; depot of 48th, at Newbridge ; 49th, Castlebar; depot of 54th, at Fermoy; 59th, Dub lin ; 64th, Dublin; depot of 66th, Templemore; 67th, Cork; 70th, Dublin; ditto of 72d, Nenagh; 75th, Ath lone; depot of 77th, Fermoy; ditto of 79th, Belturhet; ditto of 82d, Spike Island; 83d, Limerick; depot of 88th, Ballinasloe; 92d Highlanders, Belfast; depot of 93d, Carlow; ditto of 95th, Tralee. The average force in Ireland throughout the year is about 22,000 men, whose expenditure is always very considerable. MURDEROUS ATTACK BY A RAILWAY POLICE- SERG EANT. ETON, WEDNESDAY.—Yesterday evening a man named Anthony Thomas Ryines, about forty years of age, the police-sergeant at the Maidenhead station, in the employ of the Great Western Railway Company, was brought before the Rev. Thomas Carter, the sitting magistrate, in custody of Daniel Sexton, the Maidenhead constable, charged with having inflicted a serious, and, it is feared, mortal wound, upon the body of Mr. Henry Plumb, an articled clerk to Mr. William Ward, solicitor, or Maidenhead, between nine and ten o'clock on Monday night. Mr. J. J. Williams, barrister-at-law, and Mr. Ward, soli citor, attended on behalf of Mr. Plumb, who was in too weak and dangerous a state to be present. The following certificate from Mr. Bellis, surgeon, was handed to the magistrate:— " I hereby certify that Mr. Henry Plumb is not able to attend the magistrates, in consequence of having a punctured wound in the back." The prisoner, upon being placed at the bar, appeared per fectly cool and unembarrassed. Mr. John Mahon Williams (a son of Mr. Williams, the barrister), who was on a visit at Mr. Ward's, at the time of the unfortunate occurrence, deposed as follows :—I was taking a walk with Mr. Plumb on Monday evening, at about half-past nine o'clock, and as we were passing the Dumb Bell public-house, which is opposite to the Maidenhead sta tion, we heard some music, which induced us to stop outside to hear it. A boy ( who it has since been ascertained was the son of the prisoner, and who is a page in the service of a family in the neighbourhood), who was standing near us, looked up in Mr. Plumb's face and laughed. Plumb then remarked, "That's the famous Buttons." I said, "Oh, is it ?" and walked towards him. The boy then ran away up the road towards Maidenhead, calling out, "Father, they have been licking me." We ran a little way after the boy. and then stopped. The boy turned round, when he got near the prisoner's house, and said, "You come here, and we will give it you." The boy then went in, and we walked on towards Maidenhead. Just as we got opposite the prisoner's house, the boy hallooed out two or three times, " It's young Ward," evidently mistaking us for Mr. Ward's son. He was in the garden with his mother. I then saw the prisoner run into the house, and taking something from oil' the place on which a candle was standing, immediately run out again and jump over the gate into the road. The prisoner's wife called after him," Make haste, give it them well." Plumb ran away as soon as the prisoner came out of the house. I stayed until he jumped over the gate; but when I saw he was coming after us, I ran away as fast as I could. Prisoner followed, and when, I found he was close upon me I ran across the road and jumped over the fence into the ground next to the rail way. Prisoner followed Plumb, calling out to some men in the road, " Stop the young blackguard." I heard one of these men say, " I shall not stop him; what has he done ?" Almost immediately afterwards I heard the cries of Plumb. I heard him distinctly say, " Have mercy on me , and don't hit me with that." then ran across to the railway on to Mr. Ward's house for assistance, and returned with Mr. Ward's man-servant. On our return we found Mr. Plumb at the King's Arms Inn, Maidenhead-bridge, attended by Mr. Bellis, the surgeon. As soon as I saw Plumb, and the dreadful state be was in, I fainted away. The shirt, waistcoat, trousers, and coat, worn by Mr. Plumb at the time he was attacked by the prisoner, were produced by Sexton the constable. The lower part of the waistcoat and shirt, and the trousers, from the waist to below the knees, were saturated with blood, as well as the skirts of his coat. In consequence of the dangerous condition of the unfortu nate young gentleman, it was not deemed necessary to enter into further evidence at present, and the prisoner was re manded until Monday. The weapon with which the wound was inflicted was It large table knife, with a sharp point, like a pi g -k n if e. would appear, from an examination of the clothes worn - by more than Plumb, that the prisoner must hav e s t ruc k at him than once, without the knife penetrati ng t h e flesh. There e are three cuts in the shirt, corresponding in size with the width of the knife, and two in the waistcoat. The knife pene trated the back, just below the ribs, b e t ween two and three nches. "~~-, The prisoner, who stated he should reserve what he had to say, was taken away in custody of the police, and con veyed to the lock-up at Beaconsfield, a distance of upwards Of ten miles ; that being the nearest place to Eton, in the county of Bucks, for the safe custody of prisoners under re mand. The county luagistrates are now in treaty with the Great Western Railway Company, for the purchase of a piece of ground rear the Slough station, for the erection of a secure buildin for the temporary detention of prisoners apprehended in the Stoke and Eton divisions of the county. The plan for the building prepared by the county surveyor has been ap proved of by the bench of magistrates. CHESS-PLAYING EXTRAORDINARY. A novel game at chess took place, on Monday last at the London Chess Club, George and Vulture Tavern, Cornhill, between M. Kieseritzky and M. Harrwitz, both of whom played blindfold, being seated at the end of the room in such a position that they could not possibly catch a glimpse of the board, nor had they anything, save their own tenacious memories, to depend upon. At the same time M. Kieseritzky, in the same position, played Mr. Mongredien, the president of the London and Liverpool Chess Club, the latter giving the queen's knight, whilst M. Harrwitz, in a similar manner, played Mr. George Perigal, the honorary secretary of the club, who made the same allowance as Mr. Mongredien. About seventy of the best chess players in the metropolis witnessed those games, and amongst them were Messrs. H. Staunton, Charles Land seer, Frank Stone, W. Lewis, Lonsdale, Stous, Hor witz, Captain Evans, the Rev. S. Wyatt, Rev. R. Lewis, Dr. Watts, Professor Weiss, etc. Previous to com mencing the game M. Kieseritzlcy politely explained to the company his system of notation ; and his exposition was listened to with an interest only known to those who are really lovers of the game. The play was begun at about eight, and did not conclude until about half-past eleven o'clock, having occupied three hours and a half, during which time the spectators overlooked the progress of the contest with untiring interest and satisfaction. The notations of the game between Kieseritzky and Harrwitz were given in the German language ; those of the game between the former and Mr. Mongredien were delivered in French, and those of the one between Harrwitz and Perigal in English. The first was won by M. Kieseritzky, the second by Mr. Mongredien, and the last by M. Harr witz. All three games were concluded about the same time, upon which Mr. Staunton thanked Messrs. Kies eritzky and Harrwitz, on behalf of the club, for their kindness in exhibiting their extraordinary powers ; at the same time, he complimented them upon the ease with which they seemed to have executed their singular task.

The following interesting particulars of some recent military operations of the Circassians under Shamil have been communicated to the Dublin Evening Mail from a correspondent on the Rhine, whose informant is an officer just returned from the Russian frontier : " After the retreat of the Russians last year from Itchkeri, Shamil removed the seat of his government from Dargo to Vedea, on a small stream called Hal Rulso, about twelve miles further westward. The posi tion is a strong one, though too near the Russian posts at Grosnaya and Vozdinjania. It is eighteen miles from Tchakkeri, which is about eighteen miles south-east. Shamil's authority throughout the mountains was much strengthened by the events of last year's campaign, so disastrous to the Russian arms. lie established against a g mo n r st e regular system of administration, and during ai g i t t h the winter exercised his power in various acts of fnhoroad across the the RAutsasnianeafrrolyi.itpieerriaendd he d madeepencies. an Sulak into Taski; he then crossed over th e C orras i nto Ahuska and Karamalki, and at cti tie. one time he threat ene d a o h n e t to break into the pro v i nce Buit swhich these de monstrations seemed principally intended t o k ee p u p th e confidence of th e di sa ff ected have submitted to Russia, or to harass the Russian troops, of h b yt compelling winter. mencyßuthe has lately accomplished an enterprise more daring than any which he ever before attempted. "In the early part of April, Lieutenant-General Freytag, who commands on the left flank of the Russian line of the Caucasus, receiving notice that Shamil was assembling a large force at Shalii in Great Tehetchnaya, six miles distant from Tchakkeri, messengers were in stantly sent in consequence to every part of the Russian line, and four battalions were detached by Lieutenant- General ilarford, from Mosdak, as a reinforcement to Grosnaya. " On the evening of the 25th April, Shamil moved from Shalii, and crossing the Russian line of communi cation between Gromayn and 'Eschokkeri, he came vu he 27th upon the river Sumba, between the Russian forts Karak Kitcha and Zahanyourt. The force he had with him is stated to have consisted of from 6,000 to 8,000 infantry, 12,000 cavalry, and six guns. After crossing the river he reached, on the 29t1), Constanti nofsky, the chief place of the Little Kabards, w hence he rapidly advanced to the river Tcherek. Lie crossed that river at a point opposite to the Stanitza of Urieh, where 2,000 Russians, under Colonel Sifkoviek, were posted. This small body maintained their ground with great bra very,:but were at last overwhelmed by the superior number of their assailants. Shamil having by this movement placed himself on the great military road leading from Georgia, to Russia, moved along that road to Minaret,-where it was thought he would entrench himself, but probably seeing that the position was open to attack in the rear from Wladikowhas, as well as in front, he remained there only a day, and then pushed forward into the great Kabarda, as far as the Tcherek, between the sources of which stream and at the foot of the cer.tral chain of the Caucasus he established himself. In the meanwhile his cavalry scoured the country, and the inhabitants rose and juined him in considerable numbers ; and, having collected their cattle and flocks, hastened away from this country, and und e r escor t o f hi s d e t ac h m ents many of them succeeded in reaching the strong country of Tube" hikuaya. On the Bth of May, Shamil broke up his en campment on the Teherek, and retired rapidly within his own territory, which he reached without any less, an d with little opposition. He was, indeed, met at the con fluence of the Tcherek and Zeneisa by three Russian battalions under Colonel Baron Miller Zacomelsky , b ut they were compelled to give way before his supe riorforce. " The Russian troops were not idle chain.' all these operations. but they were out-manecuvred by the re pidity of Sh am il' s movements. On the first intelligence of Shamil's invasion, General Freytag, with six batta lions of infantry and 1,000 cavalry hastened up th e river Soudja, and arrived at Fort Nlazak-Kitcha on the 27th April—the day on which Shamil crossed that river lower down—and General Freytag followed Sht v mil all through the Little Kabore, without ever being able to come up with him. But having a fterward a junction with M a j or -G enera l P r i nce Gallitzi n ,: who commands in the G rea t K a b ore , th e t w o genera'. posted themselves in front of Kilchik, opposite t° Shamil's position on the Tcherek, but did not dea l themselves strong enough to attack him ; and She' mil having began his retreat at night, or in a fog' the two g enera l s were una bl e t o mo l es t him 1— that operation. General Nestorroff attempted to co operate with them by a movement from Whadihowka g i but he was prev en t e d by a di vers i on ma d e b y a body mountaineers, who at the same time that Shamil w it moving from Slielli, penetrated through the Tugou s '" country, and came down upon the G eorg i an roa d, to th e i south of the Russian fort of Wadihowkas. Gene, st Nestorrff was able afterwards to reach th e Tcherek,e sl too late to be of any use. Other detachments were or dered to advance from the Kuban and from Me a l under Lieutenant-Generals Zavadowsky, Lobintzovvt 51 ' Kavalifsky, but they did not arrive in time. " The whole line was, in fact, p u t o n the alert, 1111 : 1 , the troops of the sth corps, who wer e m arching w es ward, were ordered back ; an d a brigade of arti llery which had already crossed the Don to Rostoff, was dered to return. Prince Woronzow came post froe Shemaki, near the Caspian, to take on the spot P measures as these events might render necessary. RAILWAY SHARE MARKETS' BRISTOL.
