Stiy,4 a LONDON, THURSDAY, JUNE 17, 1852. Preparatory movements are already visible among the various metropolitan constituencies. In the capital, at least, the dissoiution will not take the electors by surprise, however unexpected may be the moment chosen for the appeal to the country by the Govern ment. It were we ll f o r the p o ssessors of th e fran chise throughout the United Kingdom, if they were to take example from the activity and forethought displayed by their compatriots in the county of Middlesex. Another peculiarity in the course pur sued upon occasions of this description, by the metro politan constituents, it were not less advisable for their fellow-countrymen to emulate somewhat more sedu lously than heretofore, at any rate in the 1 •Iger towns of Great Britain. Allusion is made, of course, to the liberal character of the men selected by those holders of the suffrage as their Parliamentary Representa tives. The City itself may be Said to have returned as its Members four Liberals --Liberals in a broad sense, although one is a Hebrew and another a Liberal Conservative. The Tower Hamlets, aga i n , in the last general election, that of 1847, as upon so many similar occasions, accorded a considerable num ber of votes to the two leading Liberals who were candidates-3,839 to Sir Wreusat CLAY, and 6,268 to GEORGE THOMPSON. Similar was the enthusiasm whichol S n Marylebone carried t o th e h ea d o f th e p BENJAMIN HALL and L o rd D UDLEY i Sir Sre.eser—the latter by 5,367 votes, and the former by 5,343—men who have so nobly justified the good opinion of their supporters by their sub sequent conduct in the Legislature, that it was resolved in that borough that they should be again returned, and this time free of all expense. Equally resolute in their support of Liberality were the electors of Westminster, who numbered 3,139 as the upholders of Sir De LACY EVANS, and 2,831 as the upholders of CHARLES LUSH-. INGTON. At Lambeth, one of the present Mem bers (D'Eesicouer) was in 1847 chosen by 3,708 electors, and his colleague (Wmaitats) in 1850 by 3,834—b0th Liberals, though of different complexions, one a Whig, the other a Radical. At Southwark, in 1847, there were returned without opposition two others no less distinguished than Alderman JOHN HUMPHERY and Sir WILLIAM MOLESWORTH. As the representatives of Finsbury, moreover, there have been sitting together as colleagues in the House of Commons two of the most remarkable Liberals in the last four Parliaments—THOMAS WAKLEY and THOMAS SLINGSBY DUNCODIBE. So that the whole of the sixteen metropolitan representatives may be said with truth to be the upholders of a liberal policy, one of them being a Jew and another a Liberal Conservative. It is worthy of remark likewise, that the two Knights of the Shire of Middlesex come under the same po pular category, one of them being the gallant and gifted RALPH OSBORNE, about the most thoroughly independent out of the whole list of the national re presentatives. Restricting our observations entirely to the City and the six boroughs of the metropolis, it is satisfactory to recognise sixteen Whigs and Radicals, with the exception of one, who is a Liberal Conservative. Finsbury is henceforth destined unfortunately to lose one of those two eminent Liberals, whom we have already mentioned as among the most meritorious Members of the House of Commons. Indisposition of a rather sudden and serious nature has compelled Mr. WAKLEY to decline the honour of being once more a candidate for the suffrages of the constituency, After continuing in the House of Commons for seventeen years as the Member for Finsbury—re turned in 1835 by 3,359, in 1837 by 4,957, in 1841 and in 1847 without opposition—the Hon. Gentleman feels it incumbent upon him to withdraw from that elevated and onerous position, so as to dedicate his energies exclusively to the responsible duties devolving upon him in his professional capacity as the Coroner for the county of Middlesex. His retirement is a circumstance entitled to our sin cere regret, but one, nevertheless, deserving also of peculiar remembrance. It will act as an incentive to his successor to bear in recollection the assiduity with which THOMAS WAKLEY, for seventeen years, upheld the principles of civil and religious liberty during the existence of four very remarkable Parliaments. The distinguished merit of Mr. WAKLEY should be borne in mind by the electors of Finsbury peculiarly at the present juncture. It should be remembered as an indication of the responsibilities re- posing just now in their hands in reference to the selection of his successor. Those responsibilities are threefold—for in regard to them the men of Fins bury will have to maintain their own character in the selection of the new representative, they will have, in his person, to choose a man worthy of being Member in the room of THOMAS WABLEY, and they will have, in so doing, to carry to the head of the poll one worthy of being the colleague of THOMAS DUNCOMBE. Candidates capable of fulfilling those three requisites are not to be discovered every day, but fortunately one has already presented himself to the electors of the borough in answer to requisitions very nu merously signed by large majorities in diff e r en t parts of the constituency. It is tolerably well known by this time that the candidate here alluded to is no other than JAMES WILD, at present Member of Parliament for Bodmin—a man of the people. —a ma n of liberal and enlightened views—and ens whose capacities, apart fromhis office as a Legislator, have for many years fixed upon him the attention of the com munity as one of the most eminent of living geographers. As his colleague Mr. WYLD would, if returned for Finsbury, have his name coupled with that of no less popular a representative than Mr. DUNCOMBE. The difficulty of the position would, therefore, be ex-. treme, because of the really formidable nature of the contrast of liberality thereby presented. THOMAS DUN COMBE has already, as Member for Finsbury, sat in five consecutive Parliaments—a circumstance almost, if not entirely, unparalleled in the history of our great metropolitan constituencies. Rejected in 1832 by the electors of the borough of Hertford, who sagaciously preferred two thoroughgoing and unmistakable Conservatives, THOMAS &MOSBY DUNCOMBE was chosen Member for Finsbury in 1834 by a majority of 2,sl4—since which period he his been re-elected at all the subsequent general elections, in 1835 by 4,497, in 1837 by 4,895, in 1841 and in 1847 without any oppositicn what ever. It is by the side of this free-minded and uncompromising Liberal that Mr. WYLD w ill have to appear upon the local hustings very soon after the period of dissolution. Happily for him, and for the electors of Finsbury, the principles maintained by the candidate are precisely such as should appear in one who aspires to be the successor of THOMAS WAKLEY and the colleague of THOMAS DIINCOMBE. In his address to the electors of Fins bury Mr. WYLD proclaims himself to be in favour of a very considerable extension of the elective franchise, coupled with the inestimable and long-denied boon of the ballot. He &clams himself an advocate of triennial Parliaments. He desires to abolish the property qualification for Members of the lower branch of the Legislature. He is a Free-trader, a Financial Reformer, and an Economist. He is for the abolition of the Income-tax, for the abolition of the Probate-duty, and for the abolition of the Post-hire duty. He is opposed to the increase of our standing army, and more particularly inimical to that unpopular Militia, which he aptly designates " a forced and unequal conscription." He aspires to see at len B t tioa h organized a regular scheme of national educe ter,--e u ducation of a strictly secular charac in the e insi s t s u p on th e necess it y o f re f orms lit of overnmeat of our colonies, in th e or ganization the Eccle s i as tical Court s , an d i n t h e regulation of the Court of Chancery. In a word, he announces himself to be, in the largest sense Of the phra se , a c h amp i on o f the g l or i ous p r inciples of C ivil and subjects alone s a Religious Liberty. Upon two Mr. WILD is altogeth e r s il en t i n h su is bj t address. more y s e n q o u t a h l i nothin g whate ver division o fa electoralbout districts necessity h t for a throughout the United the K p i a n r g l i d a o m m e — n t r n y e of the most essential a mo ng all Neither does he make ev en t he reform sory• to the great . allusion question--literally one of the most " vitally" important questions of the day— thelmSanitary „ question of r roe ment. His silence, however, upon these two particulars we regard as attributable simply to an li over s i g h t. r ne general o tendency of Mr. 11ryLD s p cy can render us doubt ful neither in the one instance nor i n the other. That policy we consider to he, in all respects, worthy of a candidate who aspires to be the representative of Finsbury, a n d, as such, the Colleague of a.HOMA S SLINGSBY DUNCOMBE. ..... After thirty-six years of protracted litigation, dur ing which the successive claimants encountered th e most vexatious, and, we regret to be obliged to add, pettifogging opposition, the case of the Baron DE BODE has, through the generous and humane exec. LONDON, THURSDAY i tions of Lord LYNDHURST, been placed in such a ; position as to give a well-founded hope of speedy ad justment. The simple narrative of the wrongs in flitted on the parties, in the name and with the sane ' tion of the English Government, excited a general feeling in the House and in the country of sympathy for the oppressed, and indignation against the oppressors. This feeling led to a unanimous reso lution for the appointment of a Select Committee to investigate the entire circumstances of the transac tion, so that the stigma of unjust and dishonest con duct may be removed from the British name. Under the convention that had taken place, the Baron DE BODE was entitled to compensation for the injuries he had sustained, not from the French, but from the English Government, which, in consideration of 60,000,000 of francs, or 2,400,0001. sterling, had taken all these liabilities on itself. And so far as the justice of the case was concerned, it signified nothing whether the Ministers, for the time being, had made an improvident bargain, so that the entire fund were exhausted in satisfying the demands of other claimants. In any case the losses of the Baron, an English subject, should be recompensed from the national Exchequer. And this view of the case is corroborated by the fact that when it was erroneously supposed that there was a surplus it was not restored to France, but paid into the Treasury , and applied to public purposes, we believe to, the building of Buckingham Palace, the general destination of all unappropriated balances being the erection of Royal Palaces in the good old times when GEORGE the FOURTH was King. No matter then what may be stated of the fund, or how ever inconvenient or unpleasant it may be to pay half a million of money, the demand must be satis fied, if founded on justice and equity, and that although it might be successfully resisted by an astute lawyer on technical grounds, not going to the real . There is, however, another case of equal hardship which was brought before the public . only last week in the Court of Chancery, and which should be re ferred to the consideration of the same Committee. We allude to the application made in the case of the representatives of the parties claiming to be the next of kin of the late SAMUEL TROUTRECR, in which an injunction was granted to restrain the claimant from taking any further proceedings under the writ of right that bad already been obtained, or under another writ, denominated " monstrans de droit." We do not impeach the judgment of the LORD CHANCELLOR ; he could not perhaps have pronounced any other, taking into consideration the objections urged by the counsel appearing for the Crown. Lord LYNDHURST admitted the justice of the deci sion pronounced in the case of the Baron DE BODE, and which, if final, would be fatal to his claim; but he went on the broad ground that a mighty nation like Great Britain should not avail itself of technical, or what may be termed unconscientious defences to demands resting on the broad basis of substantial justice. The deceased, SAMUEL TROUT/UCH', died in the year 1785, 67 years ago, leaving property amounting to between 300,0001. and 400,0001. A bill was filed in 1792 for the administration of his estate and effects, and a decree pronounced two years subse quently referring it to one of the Masters to ascer tain his heir-at-law and next of kin, who reported that there was no such person. The property was subsequently transferred to the Treasury, and in the year 1815 expended on the Pavilion at Brighton. Many years afterwards the then claimants, two ladies named ROBSON and AINSLIE, applied to be allowed to go in before the Master to establish their title as next of kin of the deceased. The application was granted, but the decision in the Chancery suit, which was carried by appeal to the House of Lords, was unfa vourable to the claimants. We are not aware of the exact grounds of the judgment, but the real substantial issue, the only one that could determine the merits, was whether they were the nearest surviving relatives of the de ceased at the time of his death. In order that this might be fairly tested they put forward what is termed a petition of right, setting forth the nature of their claim and praying relief. Now, if it had been intended to rely on the former proceedings in the Chancery suit as being final and conclusive, it is quite clear that the prayer of the petition should have been rejected, and that the applicants should not be suffered to incur heavy expenses, or allowed to en tertain unfounded hopes. Had such a course been adopted, perhaps, no well founded complaint could have been preferred, for there had been an adjudi cation, which was adverse to the alleged rights of the petitioners. In place, however, of that simple and straightfor ward course the law advisers of the Crown for the time being, relying, perhaps, on the great difficulty of establishing a relationship after the lapse of so many years, assented to the application, the usual answer, " Let right be done," was returned, and the writ issued in due course. The allegations of the petition were referred to a special jury, who, after a protracted investigation, returned a verdict in favour of the petitioners, finding that they were the sole next of kin of the intestate, and as such entitled to his immense personal estate. A petition was then presented to the then Lord Chancellor (CorrExuAm) praying for liberty to enforce the inquisition. The law officers, however, when the facts had been found favourable to the claim, began (as in the case of Baron DE BODE) to take technical objections. Then they considered that proceedings should be stayed on the ground of the finality of the Chancery decision. After a further delay of two years, Lord COTTENHAM pronounced judgment, re straining the parties from proceeding at law to enforce the verdict, or from taking any proceedings to enforce their claim, except in the snit in: Chancery, and this order was confirmed on appeal before Lord ST. LEONARDS last week. Here then is the position of the case. The present plaintiff is prevented from obtaining rights that have been established by a verdict which has not been set aside or even impeached. If Mesdames RonsoN and Aimidi were the next of kin of SAMUEL TROUT BECK, Mr. MONKTON is entitled to a large sum of money, which has been paid into the national Exchequer. An intelligent jury has declared that they were so. Let the fact be investigated over and over again if necessary; but we cannot believe that while such a verdict remains on record it will be con sidered just or expedient to prevent the party from following it up and obtaining the rights to which he is entitled thereunder. We trust, then, that some Noble Lord will think it advisable to move that the Case of MONKTON v. the ATTORNEY-GENERAL be submitted to the consideration of the same Committee that is to report on that of the Baron DE BODE, and that "not for the sake of the claimant, but for the character, honour, and dignity of this great country." We understand her Majesty will honour the Hay market Theatre this evening with her presence. BATTY'S ROYAL HIPPODROME.—This interesting place of resort and recreation still continues attractive, and the daring feats of horsemanship succeed each other with astonishing rapidity. The interest and excitement caused by the jockey, car, and other races is almost incredible; nor can we speak too highly of the daring as cent o Mademoiselle Eisler on the elevated corde, or the Brothers Elliott as the flying Calisthenics. Scarcely less interesting or extraordinary were the feats of the Nicolo Family. Mons. Franconi, the able director , de serves especial notice for the wonderful training of his dapple grey horse Johnstini. The car of Bacchus and the attend ant lAcchanalians elicit thunders of applause, arranged as it is with singular ingenuity, and producing the most pleasing effects; and we doubt not but Mr. Batty will reap a golden harvest. MASQUERADE AT VAUXHALL TO-NIGHT.—A grand bal masque and Venetian carnival is announced at the " Royal Property" this evening, and to-morrow (Friday), the anni versary of the battle of Waterloo, a magnifi cen t gala, to celebrate the triumph of British arms, and in honour of t he " hero of a hundred fights," his Grace the Duke of Wel lington, on which occasion the veteran mronaut, Mr.Cbarles Green, the" Columbus of the Skies," as he has been face tiously termed, will make a nocturnal ascent in his nzonstre ariel machine, the great Nassau balloon. The illumination s, by that "Genius of the Lamp"—the modern Aladdin —Ali. Robert Duffel], will be brilliant in the extreme, introducing many new and appropriate devices, in addition to which there will be double display of fireworks. ROYAL MAIIIONEITE THEATRE.—The attractions of this elegant theatre continue undiminished, nor do the late rains appear to hare affected either the voices or spirit of the performers. Last evening the Duchess of Sutherland accompanied by a Marchioness of Kildare, the Earl of Grosvenor, Lady Con brilliant party, among whom were the stance Grosvenor, Lord Frederick Leveson Gower, Lord Albert Leveson Gower, and Lord Ronald Leveson Gower, honoured the theatre pith their presence. Mrs. Disraeli has issued cards for an assembly for Wednesday, the 23d instant. Otto Goldschmidt, Esq., and Madame Gold Schmidt (Jenny Lind) have arrived at Fenton's Hotel, from Liverpool. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday The Legislative Body held a public sitting yester day at three o'clock ; M. BILLAULT in the chair. The subject under deliberation was the Bill to continue the tobacco monopoly in the hands of the State until January Ist, 1863. The measure was adopted with out discussion by 211 votes in its favour and none against it. The Bill to grant a credit of 170,000 francs for the restoration of the church of St. Oiler, at Rouen, was likewise adopted unanimously by 203 votes. The sitting was then brought to a close at half-past three. Before the public sitting the Members met in their bureaux to nominate a Committee on the sumptuary , Bills presented on Saturday last. Considerable dis cussion took place, and the general feeling of the Members appeared to be against the measures. As the Committee is to be a double one, composed of two Members per bureau, the proceedings occupied more time than usual, and only eight Members were named. The Patrie announces that the Government pro poses to pass a law for the abrogation of the decree of the 18th of October, 1848, respecting trial by jury. The section of the Council of State, charged to de cide s on d n t "conflict," assembled on Tuesday under of M. BARocIIE, t o t a k e i n t o n " conflict" raised by the P re f ec t o f the Seine with respect to th e j u d gmen t, by w hi c h t h e c oe the consideration mattersipresidencyon the o f Tribunal of First Instance of the Seine, at the be binning of the last month, declared that it had jaris on the appeal made by the P r i nces of Orleans against the decr ee o f relative Family to their property. The pro ceedingstodhfice theti2o 2nt22d Janu ar y oo ydael commenc e d ne l by M. LEON CORNUDET reading a report which set forth all the facts of the case. He then briefly stated the reasons which had been urged both in support of and against the jurisdiction of the Tribunal, and concluded without expressing an opinion on one side or the other. M. PAUL FADRE, advocate for the Princes, then pleaded that the Civil Tribunal was perfectly competent to entertain the case. lie was listened to with the most profound attention- 81. ITAIGNE, commissary of the Govern ment, replied, and demanded that the "conflict" as property comprised in the donation of th e 7th August, 1830, should be confirmed; but that a nnulled with respect to th e pr o p er ty wth c h h Orlea ns P r i nces i n h er i te d f rom their aunt, the A DELAIDE. The conclusion of his speech iwa regarded Princess t f ollowssho uld the e b e "The Orleans Princes assert that they are proprietors of a part of the domains of Neuilly and Monceaux, namely, of the domain of Neuilly, as heirs of the King their father, who purchased it subsequent to the 7th August, 1830; and of the domain of Monceaux as heirs of Madame Adelaide d'Orleans, who was joint proprietor of it with King Louis Philippe. Now the decree of the January oato only 22d the donationof disposes of the property comprised in the 7th August, 1830. As to that of which the Orleans Princes assert that they are pro prietors in virtue of hereditary rights, it is evidently not comprised hi the application of that decree; and it is by error , in my opinion, that the ' conflict' endeavours to remove from the civil jurisdiction the examination of questions which may arise relative thereto. In fact, it the A dministration des Domaines were to raise diffi culties as to the question whether the portion of the estate of Neuilly referred to be comprised in the donation of the 7th of August, the solution of them would require the production and examination of title deeds, the appreciation of which would be long to the tribunals. The samo might be the case with respect to Monceaux. It has besides been al leged with respect to the latter that there is, not what is called contiguity, but joint possession, and the Prefect of the Seine maintains that joint possession is not an ob stacle to the sale of the whole being made by the Ad ministration des Domaines, in conformity with the law of the 15th Floreal, an. X. Such may, in fact, be the right of that Administration. We believe it the more readily, as the portion in joint possession which may be long to the Orleans Princes as heirs of Mme. Adelaide, falling under the application of the first decree of the 22d January, it will be right to proceed within a limited period of the sale of the whole of the property in execution both of that decree and of that of Maroh 27; and it does not appear to us possible to deny to the Administration des Domaines the right of making such sale. Nevertheless, if difficulties were to arise, either on that point, or as to the disposal of the, price obtained, we should not hesitate to admit that such matters do not enter in the category of those of which the rules of the Council relative to the national domains, reserve the solution to the administrative ju risdiction, in virtue of Article 4of the Law of the 28th Pluviose, an. VIII.; and that they are of the nature of those over which the ordinary tribunals have juris diction. For these motives, we are of opinion that the conflict' of the 28th April, 1852, should be confirmed in so far as it deprives the Judicial tribunals of the power of entertaining d ema nds for discussing the legality of the decree of the 22d January, 1852, or for determining the sense and regulating the execution of it with respect to the Princes of the Orleans family. And we consider that the said conflict' should be annulled as regards the rest." The President then declared that the public sitting Was at an end, and that the tribunal would retire to deliberate. The Patrie states that the decision will not be read in public sitting before Saturday next.

CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The large number of emigrant ships about to leave our shores for Australia, and the unavoidable hurry in which they are g o t ready for the voyage, will impose in creased and onerous labour upon the Government agent, Lieutenant Lean, but if the New Passengers Amend ment Bill is enforced, there will be tolerable protection. Is may be useful to give some of the provisions of this Act. Among other things, it is stipulated that— " No ship shalt clear out or shall proceed to sea with a greater number of passengers on board (exclusive of bon& fide cabin passengers) than will allow of the ap propriation to them of the following space on the " pas senger decks " unoccupied by stores, not being the per sonal luggage of the passengers, (that is to say) if the skip is not intended to pass within the tropics, twelve clear superficial feet for every statute adult, but if the ship is intended to pass within the tropics, fifteen such clear superficial feet for every statute adult. Nor (unless the ship be propelled by steam) with a greater number of persons on board (including the master and crew and cabin pas sengers, if any, and counting two children above the age of one year and under that of fourteen, as one per see), than in the proportion of one person to every two tons of the registered tonnage of such ship. If there shall be on board of any ship at or after the time of clearance, a greater number eicber of persons or of pas sengers than in the proportions respectively herein before mentioned, the master of such ship shall be liable on such conviction as hereinafter is mentioned, to a penalty not exceeding five pounds nor less than two pounds sterling for each person or passenger constituting any such excess. "Jo every passenger ship' the beams supporting the passenger decks' shalt form part of the permanent structure of the ship. They shall bo of adequate strength, in the judgment of the emigration officer at the port of clearance, and shall be firmly secured to the ship to the satisfaction of such officer. The passenger decks' shall be at least one inch and a half in thickness, and shall be laid and firmly fastened upon the beams continuously from side to side of the compartment in which the passengers are berthed, or substantially se cured to the beams, at least three inches clear above the bottom thereof, to the satisfaction of such emigration officer. The height between any deck on which passen gers are carried and the deck immediately above it shall not be less than six feet. " There shall not be more than two tiers of berths on any one deck in any passenger ship,' and the interval between the floor of the berths and the deck immediately beneath them shall not he less than six inches. The berths shall be securely constructed, and of dimensions not less than after the rate of six feet in length and eighteen inches in width for each statute adult, and shall be sufficient in number for the proper accommoda tion of all the passengers contained in the lists of pas sengers hereinbefore required to bo delivered by the master of the ship. " In addition to and irrespective of any provisions of their own which any passengers may have on board, the master of every passenger ship' shall make to each statute adult during the voyage, including the time of detention, if any, at any port or place before the termi nation of such voyage, an allowance of pure water and sweet and wholesome provisions, according to the fol lowing dietary scale;—Weekly, per statute adult, 3 quarts of water daily, 281bs. of bread or biscuit not in terior in quality to navy biscuit, Ilb. of wheaten flour, 51bs. of oatmeal, 2lbs. of rice, lb. of sugar, 2oz. of ten, or 4oz. of cocoa or of roasted coffee, 2oz. of salt. • " The following substitutions for articles in the above dietary scale may be made at the option of the master of any passenger ship, provided that the substituted articles be set forth in the contract tickets of the passengers, that is to say, 51b. of good potatoes or ill). of beet' or pork exclusive of bone, or of preserved meat, or ill". of dried salt fish, or llb. of bread or biscuit, not inferior in quality to navy biscuit, or 11b. of best wheaten flour, or lib. of split; peas, or lilt). of oatmeal, or 11b. of lice and alb of preserved potatoes may be substituted for llb. of potatoes, but in vessels clearing out from Scotch or Irish ports the weekly allowance of oatmeal shall not be less than at the rate of 3ilb. for each statute adult." There are other most salutary clauses, and the Act is a great improvement upon former ones. This, in some measure also, will account fur the enhanced rates of passage now asked. At the present time, when the Steam Navigation Companies of the kingdom are extending their opera tions, and new undertakings of a similar character are starting into existence, it is of the utmost importancd that each vessel should be supplied with the most eco nomical means of acconimphshing a safe and speedy voyage.

It .sere su perfluous to add comment after such facts, to Mr. Paterson, the builder of the ship, Messrs to Penn, the makers 'of the engines, and Captain Matthews, the commander, for having done his duty in developing these respective properties, be all the praise. The suggestion we made a few weeP since, that this steamer should be put on the Australian except that station, is about to be followed. She is this morning advertised, and can carry 1,000 passengers. Her en' ginea bAng small, she wi'l not require much coal in proportion to her enormous tonnage.
