ARCHES COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (lief S r JOHN D.WSC,N.) I RE OFFICE OF JUDGE FRO.:IOTED BY HODGSON V. GLAD STONE.— JUDGMENT. The Learned Judge delivered the judgment of. the Courtin this impoetant case to-day. Us said the suit „was instit u t e d by virtue of loners at' request from the -otsbop of London, pursuant to the statute of the 33 end 4 th of Vic., c. 86, certamonly called the Church Disci- Kilo(' Act, by tech he wos enabled to send ended of thin deteriptiou by letters of request to the Court of Appeal of the province, ts be there heard and determined ) accordin g t o t h e lew seal practice oft thet court. It iris i'ardly i tn,oes,:-.ary to state the proceedings in the case, ,as that had already been done on one or two occas ioes, at he might as well o'ts , rve that by virtue of th sso let. e o-, request anitatien issued from the Court, which "'IS returned with a certificate stating it had been per teclitY served upon Mr. Gladstone; that an appearance givenfor him by his proctor,who preyed for articles; that those articles were afterwards broug ht in an ad zelt:ad by Me, G d Gladstone without any oppoeidoe. Upon the followicg cottrt day, after t'ee admiseior of the anti 'e'es, he denied the Ist, 4th, sth, 10,h, a:M.llth articles, ' n e e " admitted the truth of the remainder, viz.: the 2d, 6 th, 7th, and Bth. The Learned Judge thee detailed the subsenuentstages which were gone through, a nd said, a s the - publication of the articles had been „ P t e ' s6 °Gi, the ease now stood for j ud g ment. The offence 1 , - " a rged twainst Mr. Gladstone was contained in the "eadie g of the articles, and was publicly reading prayers, Preaching, administering the holy sacrament, and per " te7 thing other divine offices, in an unconsecrated chapel, , ealled Lon acre Chive!, in the parish of St. Martin's, arld g in the diocese of London, without any hoence from the Bishop, the previous licence ha v i n g teen re v ok ed by ica, and contrary to the pro hibition of the Bi shop , The first of the articles set iorth the law of the cast, but the Court having pronounced its judgeeept on the law as applicable to the facts charged in the artieler, and as to the right of the Bishop to revoke the licence, and to prohibit Mr. Gladstone from performing divine ser vice in the chapel, it would not be necessary to discuss that point again. The cases which had been cited ap - Peered to him to put the matter beyond all doubt—at least so far as to prevent the Court coming to a con trary conclusion. The remarks, which were somewhat irregularly made, in reply to what fell from the Court, ise had listened to with great attention; but, in hi, Opinion, they were not such as to induce him la the slightest degree to doubt the correctness Of the conclusion he had arrived at, or the principle as laid down in those authorities. Adhering, then, to his View of the law, and the Lets charged in the articles, the of remaining question was whether those facts were established by sufficient proof; but before entering upon that, it might not be improper to notice certain of the objections offered by Mr. Gladstone's oansel to the irregularity of the proceeding s . F irst, l said, that in consequence of the omission of the Ny A Or, 44 to :_7l, in the citation served on Mr. Gladstone, the 33 ishop of London was described in that document as " Father God," instead of "Father in God." This ilfatter, it was contended, must be dee med of hi g h t r aPortance, and of essential value , i nasmuch 1 1 ,,, a title of a blasphemous character was attributed to e Bishop, f rom n v hi c h it might be supposed he intended l ic aseame the title " Father God," which it was men red was given to the Pope. Papa noct rum doatinus eS ts• He scarcely knew whether the Learned Counsel W4 e serious in taking this objection, but in his opinion i:_certeinly did not carry tht weight wi it to which seemed to think it was entaitled'. The om th ission of this e r tTosyllable w a s, in fact, a mere clerical error , a nd it h od been al mos t admitted to be so. The Bishop w as !Itehtly described in every other part of the instrum e n t tteitation and the accidental omission of the wor d could not, therefore, mislead anybody; it did not, at any rate, triea d Air, Gladstone, for he duly appeared to the ci te- Thia then was a very trifling matter, for it was ] "possible gravely to suppose that the Bishop meant to assume the blasphemous title which the Learned Coun tio "lid he did. Another objection was, that the cite thn,Was served in the diocese of Winchester, whereas 4 : letters of request were issued in the diocese of Lon b;11, and this was said to be informal under the Church 4 d e eeipline Act; but the Learned Counsel laboured un confusion as to the constitution of the Court of . 6 eh ", and did not distinguish between that court in its l ) Peal character and in its more limited jurisdiction toilegalating tho peculiars of the Archbishop. There be no doubt that if a citation, issued from nn sp at be court to a clergyman in the province over which limits of d,lurisdiction, was served anywhere within th e l i i7„„ the province, that service would be binding if the follo we d by an appearance. Thet was precisely e Present case, and it was vain, therefore, to contend that b Mr. Gl a d stone w as not properly before the court, th at the of undue service. A further objection was qi aa tho proceedings were inst ituted against Lir. 4110-:t"e nsala's cderitur—that fourteen days were ft wed by the Church Discipline A ct, for issuin g tha t before a party was oblig ed to a pp ear ; :t here the proceedings were taken ag ainst him at bj.c in the Arches Court, and without any opportunity afforded him to consider what course he should Pars 6 ,, Ile; that he was in ape vancili, and was led into 4 -4. °r io consequence of the speed which was unduly ere ctor on the occasion. Now, Mr. Gladstone appeared by r i Zeter in the usual way; he had full opportunity to con it e his professionaladvisers; and he could not see to what t e 'eovantage ho was exposed. The Court only fol lowed the usual course which was adopted in all cases. b a '"rs, Mr. Gladstone was resident on the spot, and e a admitted all the main facts charged against him, and d lu e r ,thermore. on every occasion when he applied for L e LaY, the Court acceded to his application. The Itt.erried Judge having thus expressed his opinion on the W applicabl e t o the theta, and on the objections urged to t he jurisdiction of the Court, proceeded to consider The dith and sth articles were in reality the only ones e tf e dtrd by Mr. Gladstone; they set out that the Bisho p ' u th e a ltdon did, by instrument under hi s own hand, on 16 th January, 1852, duly revoke and ma ke voi d t he lic ence which h e had previously — to wit, on the Ist da y 6 ee nikagust, 1851, granted to Mr. Gladston© during his 4 ,7eaure, to perform the office of minister in the uncon erorated chapel known as Long - acre Chapel , i n the e ,. l " til jsh of St. Mardis's, &c o and further prohibit him rieting or discharging any ecclesiastical duties in that l l appi or elsewherialn the diocese of London, and that : m tttd admonish and require him to *desist therefrom; 'e tc h instrument was duly served on him on the 19th „" 37 of Janhary. The fifth article simply annexed &; it oof of the instrument of revocation and prohibition. e "(igh Mr. Gladstone denied the truth of those articles "e admitted the two subsequent ones, that the instru ment bore the signatere of the Bishop, and also his d e pisoopal seal. The question was whether it had bee n tillly served. It was first said the service of the revoca on and prohibition ought to be proved by two wit nesses; but he was of opinion that it was only necessary to bring the issuing of the instrument to the knowledge of Mr. Gladstone, and that a formal service in the pre ,sett6O of widaesaes was not necessary. That Mr. Gladstone was made acquainted with the nature of the document was placed beyond all doubt by the evidence adduced in the ,case. It was first served on him'at his chapel . on Sunday, the Han previous to divine service, and as he denied the validity of the service on that occasion, it was sub sequently served at his residence, in accordance with his own appointment. The next objection was that the licence ,to preeeti was not given during the Bishop's pleasure , bat absolutely; but a witness stated " that he sea the li cence..t in'the registry, and that it was daring pleasure." 44 dt even supposing it was an absolute One, the authority of Dr. Dillon was directly applicable to the present ea"e, because ho held, and he thought properly, that in all cases the same power which gave a license had the Power to recal it. But there was every reason to sup- Pose the license to Mr. Gladstone was during pleasu re. The instrument being theirfore legal and le gally served, and Mr. Gladstone having ad mitted that on the following Sunday he publicly Preached and read prayers, &c., and continued to do so up to the present time, or at least until he blade his admissions, there appeared to him complete Proof, either in the evidence of witnesses or in the ads Misiiona of the party himself, that he was guilty of the offence with which he was charged. After alluding to some other technical objections the Learned Judge con cluded thus:—l am, therefore, of opinion that the Bishop of London had power to revoke the license at his will and pleasure, rend had power to prohibit Mr. Glatlitone from continuing to perform divine service in the chapel; and that, notwithstandieg the revocation of the license, acid the prohibition of the Bishop, he has still continued to perform divine service. That being so, I consider the facts charged in the articles are supported by sufficient pool', and itherefore admonish Mr. Glad stone to refeein from reading prayers, from publicly Preaching, or administering divine offices in the uncou secreted chapel of Lens-acre for the future, until he 13 , t h , tains a license from the Bisho p , and from performing d ivine service there or elsewhere within the diocese's { " .-4 ondon, in the province of Cante rbur y , until ho obtains license, and I likewis e condemn him in cost& TEBBs, the proctor, said he would appeal 4 gdiest the decision.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The lroniteur publishes a second warning which has been served upon the Coastitutionnel in conse quence of M. V.EIiON'S article of the B th root. The effect of this second warning is to give to the Govern ment the power of suspending, and even suppressing, the journal in virtue of Article 32 of the Law on the Press, decreed on the 17th of February, 1852. We reed in the Moniteur :—" Some journals have ascribed to the Government the project of proposing a levy for interdicting work and sales on Sundays and holidays. The Government never entertained any, such idea. It desires that the religious law shall be respected ; it has prescribed to contractors for works which it causes to be executed that they shill not em • ploy men on the days which religion consecrates to repose; but there stops its duty and its right; iy does not belong to the civil power to intervene, except by the example it gives, in an affair of con science." The PRINCE PRESIDENT of the Republic went on Tuesday in an open carriage to Vincennes, and wit nessed experiments with the new description of gun carriage which he has invented. He returned by the qusis. He was only accompanied by an oflicier d'ordonnance. The correspondents of some of those English papers which have shown themselves least favourable to the Government of LOUIS NAPOLEON received invita tions to present themselves in the cabinet of M. LA TOUR DUMOULIN, director of the department of the press in the ministry of police. On Tuesday after noon the correspendent of the Daily News waited on M. LATOUR DUMOULIN, whose manner is repre sented as being characterised by perfect politeness and suavity. The tenor of his communication was that the French Government had observed attentively since the 2d of December the attitude of the Eng lish press, and regretted to perceive that many of the London newspapers were not only hostile to the pre sent Government, but outrageous towards the head of the state. Now the French Government did not ask for support at the hands of any foreign newspaper ; it did not even wish to depre cate opposition; but it was determined not to allow the person of the bead of the state to be 'treated with outrage and insult, and his name to be dragged through the mire (frame dans la boue). It was not only in the letters of the corre spondents that this offensive manner of mentioning the person of the Prince Louis NAPOLEON was prac • tised, but also in the leading articles. But in either ease, for the future, the person of the correspondent would be held responsible, inasmuch as it was only fair to suppose that he furnished the false news on which the insulting appreciations contained in the leading articles were founded. The correspondent was then given to understand that if either the Paris letter of the Daily News, or the leading articles of that paper, contained any expressions outraging the person of the PRINCE PRESIDENT, he would be consi dered as the responsible person, and be forthwith expelled from France. (The correspondent of the Morning Chronicle and Advertiser, whom the direc tor also has seen, has received a similar warning.) The correspondent of the Daily News protested against this principle. He stated that if the French Government made the Paris correspondent of an English paper responsible for whatever appeared in that paper relative to France, it would act neither ac cording to the principles of justice, law, nor inter national usage. It was known that the responsibility could only lie with the editor of the newspaper in England. A correspondent formed no part of what the French call the redaction of a paper. He was a private person, who sent confidential letters, the re sponsibilityswinhaEtNeTverlatyo d el o e w ar i l t y h. ag T a h in e s r t em th e e dy n o e f w t s h p e ap F e r r e , of whose publication he had nothing n w ch hic r h it h E ; , might either prosecute in the English courts of law, or lay a diplomatic complaint against with the English Government, which would, in point of fact, come to the same thing ; only in the latter case the French Government would hold the English one responsible for the prosecution of the paper, as had been recently the case in Belgium. When the rams the English newspapers; and he la fte srpeNT's uncle became Emperor, he was attacked of redress. He caused a criminal t w o i o t k h t v h i s l e m n c e e a n b s y information to be filed against the editor of the news paper, who was defended by Sir JAMES . MACRINTOSH. The upshot of the affair was the condecOnatiori of the newspaper to considerable damagee. M. LATouR DUMouLIN answered that the French Government could not accept the theory of the irresponsibility of correspondents. For the charge of uttering false Ber/F, although it seemed scarcely necessary to touch this question, the correspondent remarked that such errors were necessarily incidental to the journalist's vocation, but that they were in his case at least never intentionally committed. In all events, he was sure that the Daily News would have no objection to insert such rectifications of false news as the Government would communicate. M. LATOUR DUMOULIN said that the Government was anxious to afford every facility to English correspon dents for sending correct news ; it would even have no objection, to communicate at times important docu ments which it could not permit to be published in France. For instance, the Count DE CHAMBORD% letter, although the lndependance Beige was seized for the publication of it, would have been confided without difficulty to; an English newspaper. These and other civil offers were made politely by M. LA TOUR DUMOULIN, who acquitted himself of his deli cate task with no . want Of civility. But his ultitne tam was that the Government could not accept the theory of the irresponsibility of correspondents. Whatever difference of opinion may exist among our contemporaries 113 to political proceedings in France, it is certainly to be deplored that very violent personal attacks have been frequently directed by some of the most influential among them against the PRINCE PRESIDENT, giving but too just grounds for remonstrance. Nevertheless we can by no means acknowledge the propriety of M.LATOUR DUMOULIN% views, as to the individual responsibility of a foreign correspondent. Captain linemeß, who was condemned to death by a court-martial for the affair of the 13th of June, and whose sentence was commuted by the PRESIDENT of the Republic to impri sonm ent, has just been set at liberty by a further ex tension of clemency spontane ously accorded by the PRINCE. The' Presse persists, notwithstanding the former contradiction giv en by General CHANGARNIER to the assertion that be bad offered to invade England if the troops at his disposa l, iu statin Provisional Gover nmen t of the Repub lic would place only 12,000 the offer was made, and repeats what i t had said on the subje.ct, to show that its assertion was well founded. g that The affair of the " conflict," set up by the Prefect of the Seine on the subject of the decrees against the Orleans property is to be pleaded before the Council of State on Saturday. The report will be presented by M. LEON CORNUDAT, a Member of the Council of State; and M. RIVERCHON will address the Council as Government Commissioner. M. PAUL PADRE and M. MATHIEU BODET will plead on behalf of the Or leans M. SEETINI, conductor of the inalle-poste from Epernay to Sedan, has been nominated guardian of the tomb of NAPOLEON at the Invalides, with a salary of 3,000 f. a-year.

L iTE HART ti1i.1'..% A VOYAGE TO CHINA. By Dr. Buncastle. In these volumes Dr. Berncastle gives an animated account of his eastern voyage, together with an in teresting and instructive descriplion of Bombay, the Mahratta country, S:n?;apore, and Western India and the Cjestial Empire. Many amusing 'in cidents are narrated of the str,zoge customs of the va rious nations rand tribes which the author reet•with in his travels. One day, whilst examining the ruins of a Dutch fort in Cie neighbourhood of False 134 Y, during his resi&nee at Cape Town, he perceived close by at an ina, 'ycl e pt " The Gentle S he p herd of S,d6l.rary Plains," having an appropria tel y p ainted sign -board with the following • inscriptien and verses : " Lif!'s but a journey, lot us live well on the road,' says the Gentle Shepherd." Underneath which are these verses— " Melt= in pseve, pro bone .publico, Entertainment for man beast all in a row; Lekker host (nice victuals) as much as you please, Excellent beds without any * Nes patriam fueimus! - Now we are here, Vivamus, let us live by selling beer; Oa donne n Noire et I manger ici, Come in and try it who ever you be." His graphic and picturesque description of the ascent of the Table Mountain, and the account of his previ ous ascent of Mount Wellington at Jiopart Town, which, from its resemblance to the Table Mountain at the Cape, is commonly called by the same name, of which the following in an extract, are well worthy of perusal Aware of the dangers attending the enterprise, I had fully made up my mind to uusertake it, and guard against them by proper preesutioes. Having kindly been offored by the ex-sheriff, Mr.. Beaumont, the ser vices of his servant as a guide, we started three in all — Mr. Beaumont, jail., the servant, and myself—at noon, expecting to reach the -top before dark. We were equipped with fowling-pieces, a telescope, and pocket compass (most indispensable), a tin kettle, a few kitchen utensils, and provisions for two days. " Oar clothing was light, the heat being excessive; hut we had reason afterwards, on reaching a colder tette perature, to regret not being warmer clad. The first part of cur journey was easy enougo, there being a broad footpath through a partially cleared forest for about three miles, on leaving which the steepness increased considerably, and we arrived at the intricate part of our route. The track ley along a ridge, on each side of which were deep gullies covered with tall sassafras trees, and so thickly studded that the eye could scarcely pene trate them. It is here that there is most danger of lcsiug oneself, as it is impossible to see which way to turn to get to llopart Town. We pushed on for about two miles through an almost impenetrable forest, here called bush, consisting of gum, peppermint, oak, and sassafras trees, of great height, many reaolaing from one to ono hundred and flay feet. Oar march became much impeded by a stubborn species of grass, breast high, rendered still more interesting by our guide iuforming us that it abounded with splice, which in this country are very venomous. . . . " The mountain now presented an irregular appear ance. The stones, instead of following any sort of order, were heaped pail-moll upon each other. They were all nearly square , an d each one detached from the rest several tons in weight, we had to clamber from one to the other and clitg to each for our lives; the leastfaux pas. would have sent us roiling headlong several hundred feet beneath. It is at this part that many who undertake the ascent give it up, thinking it becomes more than a joke, Hero we felt that our bag gage was a great encumbrance, and before we got half through cur task our boots and our clothes were all in tatters. At last we reached the top of the basaltic por tion of the mountain, and entered into the same kind of bush as that we had left behind, with the exception that our path was obstructed by quantities of largo trees torn up by the roots and lying prostrate in all directions. Such is the force of the hurricanes from off the moun tain that the 'roots of some of the trees torn up were twenty feet deep. We had now accomplished three parts of our task, it was getting dark, nay incubil atra, and but for the cheering hope of soon obtaining water and bivouacking round a.good fire, that kept up our spirits and renovated our energies, we could not have completed it. Our physical strength was quite exhausted, and had we not been tantalized by the spring that our guide promised to find on the summit, if we could only muster courage to reach it before dark, we would not have stirred another inch. We came to a second ridge of baysalt, but not so steep nor closely heaped together as the former, so that it was comparatively easy. At this height a very great change had taken place in the tempe rature, and we clearly tell that we were entering a more ratified atmosphere; the cool air was rather favourable to our desperate condition and enabled us to hasten our pace. At last we saw btfote us the clear well-defined margin of the summit, and attained it at 8 P.M., having been seven hours performing the ascent. The cold here became very intense, and our great solicitude now was about finding the spring, which to me appeared im possible, as it is not bigger than a hand baisin. Oar guide did not despair, having often been there before. However, after many fruitless attempts, he began to doubt; but at last, when on the point of giving it up, we had the good luck to fall in with it. Our joy may be easily imagined when it is considered that we had drunk one bottle of brandy cut of sheer necessity only to wet our parched lips, which had the effect of rendering us still worse, by adding fuel to the flame, and for years afterwards I had an antipathy to that spirit, which originated entirely from this circumstance. flaying filled our kettle and bottles, we proceSded in search of a favourable place to pass the night. The proper way is to descend the mountain for a few hundred yards, where the cold is less severe, but the darkness rendered this step dangerous, so we were compelled to remain on the top. At last we found three large square stones, forming a partial inclosure. Having collected a large quantity of fire-wood for the night, we lighted a large bonfire, and set about cocking our provisiens." After giving the reader a history of the Mahratta tribes, and a description of the inland country, and a full account of Bombay, its defences, the military, the hospitals, &c., Dr. Berncastle conducts him through the Straits of Malacca to Singapore, and thence to the Celestial empire, into which he gives him an insight as far as the Chinamen will allow, and gives a long account of the depredations of the Chinese pirates, and the apathy of the Chinese Govern- ment with regard to their suppression. Re describes the celebrated edible birdsnest, which is considered such a luxury, and is found in Java, Sumatra, and in most of the rocky islets of the Indian Archi pelago. It is the nest of a small swallow, and is composed of a mucilaginous substance resembling ill concocted fibrous isinglass. The method of procuring these nests is not unattended with danger, the caves in which they are found being sometimes many hundred feet down the perpendicular side of the rock, which are reached by ladders of bambOo and rattan, over a sea rolling violently against the rock. After the nests are obtained they are carefully separated from feathers and dirt, are dried and packed, and are then fit for market. The white or best quality com mands an extravagant price, costing four thousand dollars per parcel (about one hundred and thirty-three pounds avoirdupois), which is nearly twice their weight in silver. Oa the author's visit to Macao, be longing to the Portuguese, he remarks : " One of the most remarkable things in Macao is the Cave or rather Grotto of Camoens, where that celebrated man wrote the greater part of the ' Luciade.' It is situ ated in the middle of an opulent Yorteguese domain, is taken great care of, and is surmounted by a bust of the poet, the rocks being covered with suitable inscriptions and verses to his memory. The owner allows free no cesi to all visitors to the cave, which is by far the mort interesting spot in Macao." Although from the title one might be led to believe that this work is *hut a narrative of a voyage, it is in reality a very useful and amusing history of nearly all the important stations from Europe to China.

FAILURE OF THE HUNGERF ORD B AZA AR.—The very extenSivebazaar and dioramic exhibiting theatre, re cently erected out of the old fish-market at the Hungerford S u spension-bridge , has , after several ineffectual attempts to keep it going , turned out to be a complete failure, p lace is now shut up , the lar g e dioramas, with atff and the their c hinery, are adver tised to be sold, under the hammer, in ma. f e w days- There was a report some time since, that the a ma tt e r had passed in to the hands of an English proprietary, who were about to open the place again, under more attrac tive arrangements, but the announcement seems to have been nremature, as there is not the least sign of animation about the building. There must have, been a considerable sum of money lost by the speculation; for, after the throng of the Great'Exhibition passed from the metropolis, this new editiOn of the Lowther Arcade soon became deserted and tenantless.

The Giornale di Roma of the 3d has an article on Mr. Murray's affair. it begins by stating that Rome possesses a Penal Code and a code of procedure, and that these, and not the caprice of the judge, determine the rules for discovering the truth. It further recites, that Edward Murray, a native of Ce phalonia, was brought over to Italy by his father, followed the profession of a banker, and married Ursula Gabrieli, a native of Lordtto. In 1848 and 1849 he was named police inspector at Ancona, during which time the greatest disorder reigned there, and many murders occurred, in support of which assertion the writer of the article quotes letters of Sir George Hamilton, addressed to Lord Palmerston. Some days after, it is further stated, a British vessel ar rived to protect the British Consul, and the Governor had some assassins arrested, amongst whom was Murray : "Now, the writer concludes, these facts are forgotten; people show themselves full of pity, not for the victims of the system of terror, but for Murray, who abetted it; an European Parliament has had its attention called to the matter, and it has been asserted that the Pontifical' tribunals are slow, and accessible to corruption. As to the first assertion, it is not generally known that Murray's case comprises eighteen counts of accusation for the most serious offences, and that forty individuals we rep e l it w ith are implicated i n it. A s t o th e seco n d, indignation, be cause our mag i s trat es are models of im partiality.

So soon, however, as Mr. O'Connor became aware of the exact nature*of the proposition which was about to be carried, he walked out of the House, ob tained a glass of brandy at the bar in the lobby, which be instantly drank, and proceeded down the Members' private pa ssage into Westm i nster -h a ll, whither he was follow e d b y a few gentlemen, some of whom were magistrates, k nown to the police.

Affairs in Buenos Ayres appear to be in a very quiet and satisfactory state.' Nine days later news from that quarter was received on Thursday, which indicates that thus far the order of things was rapidly developing the resources of the Plate provinces.

Destructive fires have been raging in the woods in Maine, on the line of the Atlantic and St. Lawrence Railroad, for some time. On one day it was impossible for the cars to run between Greene and Lewiston, and passengers were taken a long circuit in carriages around the fire. At Mechanic Falls the running of trains was also impeded. Several thousand cords of railroad wood have been consumed, and much damage done to the woodwork of the track. The steamer Southerner, off Turtle Island, passed the small tow-steamer Telegraph, on fire. Sho ran as near as possible, but could discover no human being, and concluded that the crew, numbering eight men, must have perished. Mr. Hiram Perry and daughter, of Monson, wore killed at Collins' depot, near Springfield, Mass., on the 27th, by being run over by the 6 P.M. express train. The New York papers contain a full account of the escape from Van Diemen's Land, and the arrival in New York, of Thomas Francis Meagher (pronounced Maher), the Irish exile and orator, who was transported for the part he took in the Irish revolutionary movement with William Smith O'Brien, John Mitchel, and others. He arrived in the brig Acorn, from Pernambuco, having escaped from Van Diemen's Land in an American whaler. He kept himself perfectly incog. until Thurs day, except to one or two friends. The Courier and Inquirer gives the following account of his escape from Van Diemen's Land:— " For some time previous to February last arrange ments were in progress, which, if. suceessful, the Emits s, nine in number, were to be taken from Van Diemen's Land and brought to our shores. In January the ar rangements were completed, when it was found that in consequence of their residing so far apart (some ten miles) it would be impractica ble to get them all off at one time, and their friends though reluctantly, were obliged to confine their opera tions to effecting the release of Mr. Meagher, as his position gave the surest prospect of success. Everything being in readiness, early in February Mr. Meagher sent i his parol of honour' to the magistrate, with the pro mise that he would consider himself hound by it for two hours after its delivery, and no longer. On receiving it the magistrate gave immediate orders to the constable in Bothwell (where •Mr. Meagher resided) to arrest him without delay. This the constable refused to do, stating that he was himself an Irishman, and would do nothing, to hinder Meagher's escape. This placed the magistrate in a position somewhat unpleasant, as there was not another officer within twenty-four miles. He, how ever, mounted horse, and proceeded to the nearest point for the purpose of bringing back an officer to take charge of. Mr. Meagher, waited for his return until the time promised had expired, after which he took horse and proceeded in an opposite direction, in which course he is said to have travelled as fast as his horse could carry him, for over one hundred miles, or to the point where his friends had another conveyance in waiting. After reaching Pernambuco, he is said to have been token on board the brig Acorn, on the 23d of April, and by her brought to this port:' In the Senate, on the 28th ult,, it was carried, after various amendments proposed and rejected, by a ma jority of 27 to 19, that the present allowance to the Collins' lice of steamers be increased to 33,000 dollars per trip, with the proviso that it shall he in the power of Congress-at any time after the 31st December, 1854, to terminate the arrangement for any additional allow ance herein provided for, upon giving six months'notice.

Although there was a prospect of short fields or walks over for three out of the seven events enumerated in the card, there was interest enough in the two, the Royal Hunt Cup and Triennial, to make a very attractive day's sport. Unfortunately, however, the weather was wretched, the rain falling heavily and without intermis sion from daybreak, flooding the roads in many parts in the immediate neighbourhood of the course, and making the course itself a swamp. It is scarcely necessary to add that the gathering was almost entirely confined to parties located in the vicinity and the professional speculators; the exceptions were the Duke of Montrose, the Marchioness of Aylesbury,. Lady Chesterfield, Lady Rachel Russell, the Ladies Somerset, and one or two others, whose names we could not ascertain. The sporting " infitiontials" present were the Duke of Montrose, Marquises of Exeter, Drogheda, Worcester, Waterford, and Normanby ; Earls of Chesterfield s Wil ton, Bruce. Rosalyn, Jersey, Uxbridge, Easton, Gran ville, and Zetland; Lords Enfield, Ribblesdale, Villiers, G. Manners, Newport, Clifden, Somerton, Canterbury, Seaham, Henry Gordon Lennox, Maidstone, W.

Amarosa, heading a ruck of at least a dozen, including the Heriot, Hernandez, Ephesus, Little Savage, and Catalpa, made play at a good pace, for the state of the ground, to the road, where the leader and The Heriot were beaten. Sanita immediately after showed in front, but at the dis tance gave precedence to Ephesus, who cleared his horses a few strides from the chair, and won easily by two lengths, Little Savage beating Pan by a length. Sanita, Hothorpe, and Hernandez, were the next three. Little Fawn jumped the rails before starting, end Janina turned round at starting, and lost a good deal of ground.

One by PARLIAMENTARY COMMIT PEES. THE ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COMPANIES. Yesterday, on the re-assembling of the Committee, Right Hon. Lord Hotham, chairmen, Earl Jermyu, Mr. Batdock, Mr. Hanley, and Mr. West, Mr. K.E4TING, Q. 0., in the absence of Mr. Sergeant Wrengham, Q.C., teem indisposition, replied on behalf of the 13citish Electric Telegraph Company's Bill in an able address of between tsso end three hears' dues cation. The leasucd Ceunteh called on the Cod mittee to pass the preamble of the Bill, as invoiviog a principle of deep importance not only to his clients, the promoters of the Bill, but to the mercantile coin mnuitiei; of the country, who now sought at the hands •of Parliament to be relieved from a combination the most formidable, and a monopoly the most start ling, that had ever been permitted to exist in a free trading commercial country. The 'patient attention the Committee bud given to the fortnight' inquiry was a sefficitnt guerantee that they would deal out even ' heeded justice as between the public, the promoters and cp r em e l ts of the Bill, the opposition to which, though it ~ bad heat masked end subdivided emongst railway corn -1 essies, wee really and truly to be tre.ecd to its source as the oppdsition of the Electric Telegraph Company alone. The Learned Counsel then proceeded to contest the fal leev that had, he affirmed, been sported so frequently, whorelways. competitionpossible, but erroneously before Committees of the house of Commons and advocated in the present instance by Mr. Stephenson, Mr. Locke, and others, viz., that case of railways,combination was always eventuatd in combination. This absurdity had been er or W in a3 ot i h n3 e P r cl w ss o i t that competition c eeetually exploded by Parliament, not only in the communication. tele graphs, whop it but. • original Bill of decided on granting the the British Tel in 1860 ordaining that effectual competition more particularly in that of eetph Company , exclusive clause; of tele graphic Trion. Upon that occasion the old should take place in matters _electric telegraphic ys, - which In defiance, however, Parliament declined to insert. which Parliament proposed restrictive and , of ef this decision, they proceeded to wallashat, by means and the result was Parliament exclusive agreements with the publie ing that should overrule vrould not do for them, erm t ine t : la th w a British Telegraph Com present application of the for aat a g the e, a nd Committeeto d et tho p i a r nys for special power competition.

If the old Telegraph Company were of opi nion that a more effective competition would h e carried out by road, why did they sacrifice thou sands in exclusive agreement with the railway com panies for the express purpose of keeping the new com pany off their line? And there could not be any effectual competition unless the Committee passed the Bill. The Learned Counsel then, at considerable length, com mented in detail on the evidence that had been adduced, and contended for the expediency and propriety of con ferring limited liability on the British Company, just as limited liability was conferred on joint-stock com panies in general, on the fair principle of putting those who supplied intelligence on a large scale on the same footing as those who supplied light and water. With limited liability the shares would be taken up, and it had been given in evidence that -one party alone would take 25,0001. wcrth of stock. Without limited liability the promoters could not proceed, and the evidence of Mr. Macgregor and Mr. Cobbold, two Members of the House, bad been given in favour of conferring it. The new company would then in some degree bo able to encoun ter or compete with the old company, though the latter were backed up by one of the most powerful commercial interests in this country. Even if the new company were invested with the powers sought for, the old com pany would still retain the enormous advantages of pri ority of establishment, weight, capital, and influence, of which in the legitimate struggle for competition no One wished to deprive them. He denied that in seeking to go upon the railways it was anything in the na t ure of an invasion of the rights of private property, railways being public highways and being granted for public purposes, though to a great extent these powers given under the original Acts bad from circumstances become inoperative. The contracts entered into between the Telegraph Company and the railways were contrary to the spirit of the law, aed which, while they had ef fectually tied the hands of the re :w company, had been anomelously represented by the Learned Counsel on the other side as containing the elements of free trade. It had been endeavoured to be shown that the construction of a second line cf telegraph could not be carried out consistently with the safety of the railways. This was ludicrous in itself, and to prevent anything like jeopardy to the various parties concerned, it was specially pro posed that this part of the subject should be placed under the control.of the Board of-Trade, and this would be an ample safeguard. After negotiating with the new company for a couple of years, the inden and North-Western Railway suddenly lent themselves to the delusion that danger would arise to the working O f the railway and the public traffic, but this was merely claptrap. The assertions as to the probability of raeasages being intercepted or stolen were alike un worthy of credit. In a state of honest competition these things could not exist, and English workmen were not very susceptible of the charms of transportation for life. Self-interest actuating the competing parties on both bides would suffice to prevent danger. The Learned Connell then proceeded to show the remunerative re sults, as exhibited in the financial statement laid before the Privy Council, of the operations of the old Tele graph Company, as justifying the proposition that there was ample room for a second company. Mr. Ricardo had stated that the company ho represented had giv en general satisfsction; and yet counsel on the other side had not called a single disinterested commercial man to say that he was satisfied. Complaints had been made of insinuations as to the use or abuse that was mad e b y the old Telegraph Company of its extraordinary and exclusive powers. Nothing, perhaps, had been defi nitely proved on this point; but what was to pr event it, when they remembered it had come out in cross-a nation that the shareholders of tlr., old company larni sisted to a great extent of railway representatives eon members of the Stock Exchange, and that in an d mission of messages the startling pzivii in the trans that the messages of the principal r ego prevailed the company should have preeedene e p r esentatives of vernment and the public.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) COWES, JUNE 9. Loss OF THE FRENCH BRIG ST. BARITE, OF 8011- Dx.i.ux.—The Solent steamer towed in yesterday the crew (eight in number) of the above vessel, who had escaped in their boat. The brig foundered on Monday afternoon, about twenty miles to the southward of the island, she was coal laden from Newcastle fbr Algiers. The poor fellows had only time to save their clothes and a few provisions before she went down, bat their humanity led them to take from the sinking vessel a monkey and a cat. THREE BULLS AT COWES TARING A FANCY TO PHYSIC.—On Monday last nearly 100 head of cattle wore landed at Cowes from Southampton fair, some of them rather wild and vicious looking animals, unused to civil!z3d society, and inclined to take any road but the right. Three of these monster bulls (but not the Pope's) took a fancy to a chemist's shop, and dashed in at the door. Mr. Weeding and his assistant, having no taste for such company, beat a hasty retreat out at the back. The shop was too small for the huge animals to turn in; they found their way through it into the sur gery at the back, demolishing as they went the glass in the cases and the bottles on the shelves. It was ex pected that they would have found their way back into the street through the shop-window, but after some time two of them turned, and were driven out at the door; but the third, feeling tired, laid down behind the counter. This placed the doctor, the driver, and some score of anxious lookers-on in a fix. A genuine Isle of Wight man was for killing the bullock, and drawing him out in quarters; when it was proposed by the " Bull" of the Fountain Inn to put up the shop-shutters and remove the counter. This being done, the animal took the hint from his namesake, and regained the street by the shop door without doing any further damage to the doctor's simples. During the same day a gentleman of the same family did far more mischief in two drapers' shops in Newport, waging destruction particularly amongst the ribbons; his old Tory blood was wrath at beholding so much Radical blue displayed.
