The following is the address of the Chamber of Deputies of Borne in reply to the speech from the throne : " Most Holy Father, —The first duty of your people, and of all us, w ho are their representa tives, is to offer to your Holiness the most solemn thanks for having called us to the exercise of political life — given a reality to our rights—and laid the foundations of a true, just, and uncha n g eable liberty—a memo rable undertaking, and worthy of your name, to have made distinct in one sole person the authority of the pontiff and the just power of the Sovereign. us con " We are well aware, nay, we feel a conscio viction, that nothing can give more stability to public institutions than the true spirit of religion, which, inasmuch as it engenders; an cosdlidates to lib read erty. , renders it easier for it tog erminate an sp of which you are Hence the love of that faith, the guardian and the teacher, makes us rejoice to see that whilst you, an enem y to all evil by the nature of your disposition and by the effect of the supreme priesthood, are distributing to the true believers the celestial treasures of grace, peace, and truth, you transfer to responsible ministers the never admi theless, nistration is of the temporal dominion, which, yours also. "Thus our utmost intellectual endeavours shall be directed to harmonize, as best weonal may, it and this in th is e s h or t e st possible time,' the nati uny— the first goal of all our thoughts d substantial aim of every design. Our views a r ea so determined on that object, that should we feel the necessity of advising the Government to propose any alteration in the constitution for the manifest advantage of the people, we shall always study and endeavour to seal that unity with laws reciprocally suitable. " We are satisfied we stand in no need of encourag ing you to establish the Italian League, since it is you who first thought of it, would have it, and favoured it. We dare to go further still, and we, moreover, promise ourselves to see it in a short time determined upon chiefly between the two supports to which Italy addresses her fervent prayers—the victorious sword of Charles Albert and the authority of the Pon tificate, both of which, less by the transitory conventions between Prince and Prince, than by wise and co-ordinate institutions, will render it firm and perpetual. But as we see clearly that such a league could be bound by no other tie than a na tional Diet, we express our most fervent wishes that you yourself would, in this Rome, become its centre and commencement ; and we entertain no doubt, that in conjunction with all the other populations of the peninsula, the noble and strong Sicily will become a member of it, and it will prove an addition to her glory to complete the wished-for unity, having with her own blood conquered liberty. The present con dition of the Neapolitan kingdom seems, indeed, repug nant to so noble a cause, since the troops, perversely called back, after having as much as it lay in their power resisted the Italian enterprise, have occasioned perturbation and mischief and scandalous outrages is our provinces. We do not wish to that people destinies different from our own, but if it has not been in the power of your Government to pre vent that ignominious abandonment (desertion !), you will not fail to ask satisfaction for those outrages from him who gave the ominous command. We entreat you to recommend to the protection of King Charles Albert those of your magnanimous children who, flushed with a sacred and unrestrained ardour for the national contest, have been prompted to fly to arms, in order to avenge the Italian name. It is the sanguine wish of the representatives of your people that with that illustrious Prince, and the magnanimous and loyal Tuscan, as well as with other States, official negotiations may be without delay entered into, with a view to provide for the actual necessities of war. It is worthy and honour able to the sacerdotal ministry, and most concordant with your celestial mind, to pronounce amongst belli gerents a word of peace (the Italian nationality as foundation and principle) ; but, although we disdain any imitation whatsoever of the stipulations of Cam poformio, we are however of opinion that your peo ple neither ought nor can lay down their arms, and that, on the contrary, they should try all the means in their power to re-invigorate the war, until our common country shall have been recognised in its natural frontiers. " The national right established and declared by every civilised nation, and principally by the learned and generous Germans, leads us to indulge in the hope that our own forces will be sufficient to give to this war a good termination. It is a defensive and just war, since it is a war solely to re-possess our selves of what was taken from us by force. But should it come to pass that some others were inclined to wage war in our land against those rights which he defended in his own house, making himself the champion of those who deny to Italy the power of becoming Italy, and jointly with our chains to rivet his own,—there would not certainly remain unavail able the offers of a spirited and gallant people, who, aspiring in our days to no unjust and dangerous con quests, could be able to repulse the violence of arms, without polluting this sacred ground with blood. "It would prove that man very indifferently ac quainted with public business who presumptuously ventured to answer for peace, order, and internal liberty, after examining with little care the external relations of the state. But, although we consider this matter of the highest importance, we have no less at heart our internal affairs, to which the Government o ught to have already applied such provisions, and we expect that it will in a short time lay before us by what means it proposes to re-organize the trea sury, to restore credit, and to heal every part of the public administration. These are no small evils ; but by cutting off the excess of the expenses and the multiplieity of offices, by reducing the peans i ons, b o a better distribution of taxation, by theavailable - duction of the national property, and by taking off the restrictions on commerce, we do not despair to be enabled to surmount our present difficulties. " We also confidently expect that our police shall be reformed in accordance with the present civilisa tion, and become the guarantee of order and security, nor longer busy itself with the scrutiny of the thoughts, with injurious suspicions, and with other hindrances to personal liberty. The tears of deserted families shall no longer be profitable to a wretched race which boasted of protecting the Government, whilst it was only conniving to devour it, and so destroy all the means which might prove instrumental to civil improvements. " We also hope and promise ourselves much from the impartial administration of justice. We expect laws and tribunals better and not dissimilar from those of other Italian states—public trials, and in our own tongue—and apublic ministry to preside over it—reduced fees—in law trials of common right no privilege of ftrrce—to offences of the press a jury— no more confiscation, no more pain of death. Des potism shall be impossible—all kind of rights firmer and sacred. " After honour and life we require that all pro perties shall be sacred, and we will not spare our la bour that, byremoving all useless burdens, the interest of supporting property may always be on the increase. But, as it clearly appears to us that ignorance is the foremost cause of false opinions, and of the loose manner of living, it would bring much mischief on the people, and no less blame on us, if to public instruction and to civil education we were not careful to apply ourselves in a manner corresponding with the progressive institutions of the state, and of the growing civilization. " We shall bestow the same attention to the pro vincial as to the municipal regulations, which will greatly contribute to improve the condition of the people, when a new form of elections, based on a large scale, shall have returned to them the public confidence—when the income and the jurisdiction of the municipalities, shall be separated from those of the state—when a more equitable separation of territories shall secure in the municipal liberty the first foun dation of political life. "If the difficulty of the undertaking can be sur passed by the desire, we are heartily disposed to lend you our support in every social improvement; we will make ourselves a study to eradicate the roots of guilt and misery. What would it avail us to have new laws, were stupid or wicked executors still to administer them ? What would prisons avail, if, instead of correcting the guilty, the reciprocal tuition in all kinds of vice were still suffered in them ? Our principal attention is directed to that portion of the people whose labour supports our life ; we will procure them help ; we will remove obstacles to the industrious workman, to the honest farmer, that his bread be gained by the sweat of his brow, but no longer moistened with tears. " For all these reforms you had prepared yourself an invincible bulwark in the Civic Guard, to the faith of which you have intrusted their keeping and their defence. The people, aware of the obligations which bind them to this courageous militia—aware of the narrowly-escaped dangers, of that order it has preserved—the !more confidently intrust to it their infant liberty, the more heartily bless and thank you, who have bestowed on them so great and permanent benefit. "We will do all our endeavours, Most Holy Father, to begin this great labour without delay. W e feel, and we respect too much in ourselves the rights of the people whom we represent, not to know how to proceed iu it with courage and moderation. We are proud to comply with the noble duty of raising in union with you and your Government the glorious statue of liberty, ready, as we are, to defend it from those who might still dream of reviving past times, no less than from those who, thirsting for peculation, prefer abuses and corruptions to a well-regulated society. " It was with the sacerdotal word of peace and union that you commenced and proclaimed our rege neration. We shall, we feel, strictly adhere to your rES. THE SUN, LONDON, MOND A. SI benevolent intentions. We shall lieT inviolable those principles ; and thus the national banner be beach(' by the Cross, which is the symb)l no less of victory than of justice and truth." LOMBARDY AND VENICE. The report of a battle having taken place between the Piedmontese and Austrians is not confirmed by the Italian papers which have arrived. They state, however, that the communications between Mantua and Verona are completely open to the Austrians who cross the Adige at Legnano. The Dieta Italiana of Bologna of the Bth, states that on the 6th General PEPE ordered the two Bolognese battalions, and the battalion of Lom bardy, to march to Brondolo, to attack the body of Austrians stationed there. The General him self made a sally to destroy the works begun by the enemy against Malghera. The results of these two operations are not known. Letters from Vicenza announce that two-thirds of the population have emigrated ; that the Austrians have imposed new contributions, and that a great mortality prevails among the 20,000 men stationed in that town. The Imparziale of Venice cf the sth, states that in consequence of the repeated refusal of MANIN and TOMASEO to resume the Executive power, the follow ing Ministry has been named by the Assembly : JACOPO CASTELLI, PIETRO PALEOCAPA, FRANCESCO CAMERATA, ANTONIO PAOLUCCI, LEOPOLDO MAR.. TINENGO, GIo. BATISTA CAVEDALIS, and GIUSEPPE REALI. LITERATURE. THE CLOSING SCENE. By the Author of " The Bishop's Daughter," 4-c. The lives of eminent men may always be read with profit, but never more so than when they are brought in strong contrast to each other, as they are in the volume before us. Here we have the lights and sha dows of human life—the holy aspirations of the Christian contrasted with the gloomy forebodings of the Infidel : and so faithfully are the portraits drawn, and by so masterly a hand, that they cannot fail to arrest attention. The author laments, that " among the acute, and the gifted, and the highly educated, are arrayed the antagonists of Revelation and the enemies of the Redeemer." It ever was and always will be so. What says the Scripture ? "Not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble are called."' And Cowper, who always de lighted to drink from the Fountain of Life, thus enforces the same truth Not many wise, rich, noble, or profound In science, win one inch of heavenly ground." "Not many wise are called." And why? Clearly because they are so puffed up with their own (often vain) attainments, that they think it derogatory to ask tbr aid of Him to whom they are indebted for all the talents they possess. The inconsistency of these men is most remarkable. For instance, Shelley, a sketch of whose unhappy life is given in the work under consideration, once declared to a literary friend that of all the books he had ever read he valued the Bible the most. His friend, somewhat startled at this remark, asked him how he could, with the least consistency, make this assertion after the sceptical opinions he had published in his various works ? " If," replied Shelley, " I have written anything in opposi tion to the Bible, it has been done from very scorn for the hypocrisy of those who call themselves Christians, but whose walk in life is as opposed to that of Christ as light to darkness." This is ex ceedingly cutting, and is well calculated to lead men of reflection to consider the springs of their actions, and what their "closing scene " is likely to be. Shelley was an extraordinary man ; highly gifted unquestionably, with a keen perception of the beauti ful. His " Hymn to Intellectual Beauty "is proof sufficient of this. At every object in nature he looked with the eye of a poet. In watching the graceful motion of the clouds he once said— " They blindly on their errands go." Not thinking, perhaps, at the moment, that he him self was equally blind in all matters relating to eternity. Shelley at one period of his life endured great privations; hut when his circumstances im proved, we have heard from a gentleman who was in timate with him, that to a necessitous author, though no relation, he presented a thousand pounds. This was at any rate acting the part of the good Samari tan. And after such conduct, who can refrain from looking with tenderness on the man whose feelings could prompt him to such princely liberality ? When Shelley drew the cheque for this amount, he might have said to a mere professor, "Show me thy faith without thy works, and I will show thee my faith by my works." The " mighty, the noble, and the rich," are included in our quotation ; but we have not space at present to pass any remarks on these. Fro► the narrative of every character included in " The Closing Scene" we might select passages of great interest, but in doing so we should be robbing the book too much of izs valuable contents. We will therefore close our notice by strongly recommending the reader to get a copy of the work, which, to our taste, is the most interesting of any which the author has yet published * 1 Cor. i. 26. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday had been active. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, of which 6,000 were American, at 3d. to Sid. per lb., at fully previous rates. In Railway Shares only a mode rate business was transacted, and the market was very firm. Holders in some instances demanded higher prices. There are no arrivals to• day with news of any parti cular interest, the ship letters not being generally of later date. We are glad, however, to notice the most favourable reports upon the state of the crops on the continent, as well as in the United Kingdom, and par ticularly in Ireland, and there seems to be every pro bability of food becoming even cheaper and more abundant than it is at present. The grain market this morning evinces unmistakeable symptoms of weak ness. The Money Market is exceedingly easy as far as the bankers and others are concerned, and even in general quarters there is a greater abundance. The railway " calls" absorb, however, a portion of the surplus which, in the absence of that source, would be seeking em ployment. For the present month they amount to 3,833,2551. on English, and 157,5001. on foreign lines. For August the amount as yet announced is about 1,500,000/. A report of the state of the iron trade appears in Aris's Birmingham Gazette, from which we take the following extracts :—" The slight amendment in the export and home demand for iron, noticed in our last as a ground to hope that little underselling would be resorted to, hag since that time considerably increased, and not only proved sufficient to realise such expectations, but, with the aid of some heavy orders for railway bars brought forward just upon the quarterly meetings, has induced considerable anxiety on the part of our manufacturers generally to obtain supplies of !metal before any de cided reaction in price should take place." "Although we think that we may now congratulate the trade upon a very general impression that the lowest point has been turned, and that a more cheerful feeling may be reasonably assumed, still this beneficial movement cannot be referred to such a permanent re vival of activity in the iron market, or in the general aspect of mercantile affairs, as would warrant the expectation of any immediate advance in prices; and, above all things, a wild resumption of opera tions or increase of make should be guarded against, The flush of orders which has lately been felt may be accounted for, even by the distribution alone of that b us i n ess whic hi was formerly executed at the various works unfortunately closed under the late pressure; and it should be borne in mind, that sales made at the pre sent prices are affording little or no remuneration for she outlay of capital, if, indeed, they do not entail an abso lute loss upon the manufacturer.' , The abundance of money still has a strengthening in fluence upon Consols, and although the " fag end" of the settlement may be in part the occasion of the ad vance, there is also, no doubt, an indisposition on the part of the jobbers to sell stock, seeing the manner in which the quotations were lately " run up." The trans actions have been exceedingly limited. Consols have been 871 to 88 for Transfer, and 871 to 88 for Account. The premium on the March Exchequer-bills is again 455. to 495. Bank Stock has been 197 to 1971, being a very decided rise for the first named. East India Bonds have been 295. to 31s. premium. The New Three•and a-Quarter per Cents. have been 87i to 881, and the Three per Cents. 871 to 88. In the Foreign Bonds there has not been much doing, but the quotations are steady. Spanish Five per Cents. have realised 114, and the Three per Cents. 214 to 22. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 171, and Bra zilian 69. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 45 to 45/. Danish Bonds have been at 70. Mexioan are 171. Railway Shares are looking very firm again, and are still tending upwards. There is a small business doing, but holders are not inclined to pr ONE ess business. ARICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLO,K Bank Stock 197 197th 3 per Cent. Reduced Anna .. 87 3 / 4 1 A 88 3 per Cent.

LORD CLARRNDON.—The Queen's letter was dis patched to Ireland on Saturday, appointing Lords Justices to administer the government of that country during the absence of the Lord-Lieutenant. The Arch bishop of Dublin, the Lord Chancellor of Ireland, and the Commander of the Forces are named in the com mission to act in the place of the Earl of Clarendon, to enable his Excellency to pay a short visit of a few days to London, usual at this period of the year. Lord Clarendon will leave Dublin on Monday. It is not im probable that during his short stay Ministers will avail themselves of his presence to discuss more closely the present condition of Ireland. The intended visit of the Court, postponed by the unhappy circumstances of the country, so detrimental to its best interests, may still, perhaps, form one of the subjects for discussion. It is the people of Ireland—loyal and good-hearted in the main—that suffer in this, as well as in many other respects, for the violence and folly of their self-consti wmeaegki;tra four tes o Bard tuted leaders and agitators by profession. — Observe r.

The arrivals of English Wheat, Malt, and Flour for our market last week coastwise were on a full average scale, even the time of year considered. Of all other articles of home produce the receipts were very limited, though of full average quality. From Ireland and Scot land very little Grain came to hand. Collectively the receipts from abroad were good, viz., 4,602 quarters of Wheat; 7,085 quarters of Barley; 18,122 quarters of Oats; 1,167 quarters of Beans; 690 quarters of peas; 935 quarters of tares; 2,746 quarters of linseed; 41 quarters of rapeseed; 37 quarters of mustardseed; 114 quarters of sundry seeds, together with 130 sacks and 56 barrels of Flour. Since these returns were made up several cargoes of Oats have come in from Germany. Fresh up to-day rather an extensive supply of Wheat was received from Essex; and a moderate one from Kent, Suf folk, and - Cambridgeshire. By land carriage the quantity was on the increase, and the show of samples was larger than on any previous market day during the whole of the present year. This circumstance, together with the con tinued fine weather for the growing crops, and the com paratively small attendance of buyers, had a very de pressing influence on the demand for all kinds of English Wheat, at a decline in the quotations of Monday last of from 2s to, in some instances, 3s per quarter. The mar ket closed heavily, and a clearance of the stands was not effected. The quantity of Foreign Wheat brought forward was far from extensive; nevertheless, that ar- ticle was a mere drug, and prices receded quite 2s per quarter. In qualities under lock or on board we heard of no transactions. several parcels of very find Aus tralianW heat were offering at from 55s to 56s per quarter. The few samples of English Barley on the market were quite neglected, consequently nominal in value. Foreign Barleys, the supply of which was moderately good, moved off heavily at Is. per quarter less money, with out any progress being mado in sales. For Malt there was scarcely any inquiry. Chevalier parcels on the spot ',fere mostly held at full prices, but the value of the secondary qualities had a downward tendency. We were very scantily supplied with English, Scotch, and Irish Oats, but the show of foreign exceeded the wants of the dealers, hence the trade ruled heavy, and prices suffered an abatement of fully 6d. per quarter. For Beans, espe cially foreign samples, the demand was in a very in active state, and in some instances the rates were not supported. Iu Peas next to nothing was doing, but we have no actual decline to notice in the quotations. The sale for Indian Corn and Meal was dull in the extreme. Flour, both English and foreign, was heavy on somewhat easier terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

With foreign Sheep we were somewhat heavily supplied to-day; but the numbers of Beasts and Calves on offer from abroad were comparatively small, yet their general quality was tole rably good. For the time of year, the supply of Eng lish-fed Beasts on sale was tolerably good, while the quality was a fair average. Notwithstanding the con tinued warm weather, the Beef trade, owing to the good attendance of town and country buyers was steady at fully, but at nothing quotable beyond, the prices paid on this day se'nnight; the primest Scots selling at 45 to 4s 2d per Sibs, and at which a clearance was effected without difficulty. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received about 1,000 Scots and short horns; from the western and midland counties, 800 short-horns, Devons, runts, &c.; from other parts of England, 600 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 80 horned and polled Scots. With Sheep we were tole rably well, but not to say heavily supplied. For all breeds the demand was steady, and last week's prices were supported in every instance. The general quality of the Sheep was good. The supply of Lambs wa s b u t moderate. On the whole, the Lamb trade was firm, at full rates of currency. There was a much better in quiry for Calves, but we have no improvement to notice in value. Pigs were in short supply and heavy demand, at barely late rates.

Robert Young, a footman in the service of his Excel lency the Danish Ambassador, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having obstructed Police-con stable Lowe, A 81, in the execution of his duty. The complainant stated that on Saturday night, about twelve o'clock, he was on duty near her Majesty's Theatre, in the Haymarket, on purpose to prevent coachmen from driving out of their ranks, while the company was leaving the house. While he was in the act of keeping the rank clear, a carriage belonging to th, Danish Ambassador was driven out of the ranks. Wit ness immediately went up to the coachman and ex plained to him that it was contrary to his orders to allow him to pass, and that the order of the rank must be preserved- The defendant, who was on the box with the coachman incited the latter to flog his horses and drive over him. Witness got hold of the horses' heads, and detained the carriage till another constable arrived, when ho took the prisoner to the station. Inspector Whale, C division, said he took the charge on Saturday night, and having satisfied himself that the defendant was in the service of the Danish Ambassador, he let him (defendant) out on his own recognizances to appear at this court this morning. Mr. BlNGussi said he (Inspector Whale) had acted perfectly right in so doing. He should now direct the constable to take the defendant to the Danish Ambas sador's, and explain the nature of the charge against the defendant to his Excellency, who would deal with the case accordingly. THE WEATHER.—Since Sunday, the present week has been uninterruptedly fine bright weather, and it has consequently been most propitious for the hay, whether cut or uncut. The former, where it had been wet by the heavy rain of Sunday, has been turned; dried, carted home, and stacked in good condition; and in this neigh bourhood, what hay had not been previously cut, has been rapidly brought under the scythe, and safely housed. Throughout this neighbourhood, the crop generally has been more than an average one; in some instances heavier than for many years. In the south, it is said, to be quite otherwise. The barometer has been totally steady during the last few days; its variation being from 30'35 to 30'40. The temperature has been gradually increasing till Thursday last ; yesterday it was somewhat lower, and the barometer also declining a little, it was not unlikely that we may have some rain shortly. On Tuesday, the thermometer reached 70 degrees, on Wednesday it rose to 77 degrees, and on Thursday, early in the afternoon, it reached 80 degrees in the sbade,—the highest point for some time past. Yesterday, it was not higher than 74 or 75 degrees. The following is the telegraphic report of wind and weather at the places named, at seven o'clock yes terday morning:—Glasgow, E.NE. very fine; Edinburgh, N.E. hazy; Liverpool, N.W. fine; Manchester, N.N.W. fine; Norwich. E.S.E. very fine; Yarmouth, N.E. very fine; Lowestoffe, E.S.E. foggy; Birmingham, N.W. fine; Gloucester, N. by E. very fine; Colchester, S.E. very fine; Gosport, N.E. fine; Southampton, E. fine.—Man cheater Guardian. MASTER ALEXANDER RANCHERAE'S CONCERT.— This talented young musician, who is not yet nine years of age, but whose performances have acquired for him a high fame in Vienna, (his native place) and in the other principal cities of Germany, gives a Matinee Musicale on Wednesday next, at 3, Foley-place, Portland- place, which will, no doubt, be fully attended. ISLE OF MAN FISIIERY..—" The herring fishery for three or four days last week," says Mona's Herald, " was very successful around Port St. Mary and the Peel side. Some of the boats on Thursday brought in 20 meaze each, and so ranging from that number to 12 meaze. The boats are not all out as yet, but all the old fishermen are counting on a good season for their business, judging from the signs. Considerable quan tities have been shipped by the fresh buyers, who pur chase wholesale at 4s. and as low as 3s. 6d. a hundred The retail prices may be quoted at the rate of 24 for a shilling. ALARMING OCCURRENCE ON BOARD A STEAMBOAT. —Much alarm was excited among the passengers on board the Fire King, Gravesend steam-boat, last even ing, when between Woolwich and Greenwich, by a re port that the vessel had caught fire, occasioned by a large quantity of steam and hot ashes bursting up the hatchway. An immediate cry was raised for boats, and several put off, but the captain refused to stop the. vessel, lest in their hurry to escape, the passengers might overcrowd the boats, and thus cause the inevit ,A.Ac lesa_nf_e_nnenber of lives. On arriving at Green wich, however, the machinery broke down, and the vessel was towed to the pier, where the passengers all landed in safety. The accident is stated to have arisei from the forcing of one of the stays of the boiler which had become overheated, and thus allowing the steam and water to escape into the furnace. A military encampment has been ordered to be im mediately formed at Kersall-green, near Manchester, to be composed of the entire of the 9th Regiment, to which a detachment from another regiment of the line will be added, to make up 1,000 men. It is in contemplation to establish two other camps of a similar nature, the second to be in Yorkshire, and the third near to some part of the southern or western coast. The troops are to be drilled in all sorts of field and camp exercise, and have with them all the appliances and means for a campaign, easily moveable at an hour's notice. It may not be uninteresting to mention the very cheap terms on which contracts for the provisioning of these troops have been taken.

On the 224 ult. a double murder was committed at Vitry, near Choisy-le-Roi, and was afterwards followed by the suicide of the murderer. A gardener of that com mune, named Bronx, had fur some time had a criminal connexion with the wife of a day-labourer, named D6ie -42, although himself a married man. This being made known to Broux's wife, she naturally reproached him with it, and frequent quarrels arose between them, till, on the 22d, he became so exasperated as to strike hie wife a ith a hatchet and kill her. This deed done, he quietly went to his barber and got shaved. After this, he remained some time in conversation at the shop, during which he contrived to secrete one of the razors. With this weapon in his pocket, he went to his adulterous mistress, and took - her with him to Maisons- Alfort, where they entered a traiteur's, and diiird. The dinner over, they went out to walk in the fields, and from that time were heard no more of till the murder of Bronx's wife was discovered, and Wioriie became alarmed by the absence of his. In • formation being laid before the magistrate, search was made for the two absentees, and it ended in the discovery of the body of the woman Daioree with her throat cut, and several deep wounds in her arms, received no doubt in defending herself: The razor taken from the barber's shop was lying by her lifeless corpse. As the insurrection in Paris had in the meantime broken out, it was impossible for the officers of justice to take any effectual steps for the discovery and arrest of the murderer. It was after wards learnt that Brous was seen fighting on the side of the insurgents, at a barricade in the Faubourg St. Marceau, and two days ago his body was found in the Seine, near the Port 4 la l'Anglais, with indications that left no doubt of his having committed suicide. Lord Glengall gave notice on Friday in the House _ . of Lords of a motion respecting the seditious clubs or. ganized in Ireland, for Thursday next.

The appellant, Maria, had, with the approbation of her father, in 1828, become a nun, and processed of the order of St. Ursula, at Black Itock, Cork, when her father paid to that community 1,000/. for her admission and main tenance for life. Next year her sister Cathe rine adopted the tame course, and paid a similar large sum to the convent. The father's property at his death amounted to 100,0001. He had ten children, and it was conceived that the 1,0001. given on appellants' admission to the convent was intended to be their portion, having renounced by their vows the world and all right of suc cession to wealth. The Catholic superiors of the con vent advised them to assert their claim to two entire dis tributive shares of tho 100,000/. in the Irish Court of Chancery. This the heir-at-law resisted for the family generally. The two sisters had executed deeds transfer ring their allures to the two superiors of the convent, which there were reasons to believe were not made with out the pressure and compulsion of their religious vow upon taking the veil, and the Lord Chancellor . Sugden , acting on that impression, decreed that no relief ought to be given to the appellants upon deeds so obtained, and dismissed their bill as respected these two sacred spinsters with cots. Against this decree these superiors appealed to the House of Lords. Mr. G. S. TURNER and Mr. BETHEL'. argued the case on behalf of the appellants on Friday last, and for the re spol\nird'enitts°,LrTe'suwmheod was hi his a the rg u i cal r atl this morning.r The arguments had not concluded lien ou epnaty heard After noon Edition went to press.

Sir,—On Wednesday the 12th, was the discussion on Mr. _Hindley's Sunday Trading Bill for the metro polis. The proceedings were interesting as demon strating a marked progress of opinion on the subject concerned, and holding out the prospect of union on a point where fierce and clashing interests were very likely at some time to lead to dangerous results. With the exception of a single Member, who of course was received with the same respect as if he had stood up for the necessity of the Jewish rite of circumcision, there was an absolute withdrawal of all pretension to legislate on the question as making part of the national religion. The truth has evidently penetrated, that instead of coercive legisla tion being dictated by the national religion, it is in the teeth of the literal directions of the rule appealed to, and like other invasions of the literal rule, such as judicial oaths, taking care for the morrow in a sav ings-bank, defending an action at nisi prin, or applying to a policeman instead of holding out the other cheek, it must be excused on the ground th a t there must have been some local or partial applica tion in the original direction, and that the regulations found condu c i ve t o th e welfare of society in its pre.- sent state, would not have been opposed by the law giver if they had been distinctly in his eye. In fact in all these cases the great solvent is, that the spirit rather than the letter of the scriptural rule is to be kept in view. Now there can be no reasonable denial that sabbath-keeping and not sabbath-breaking is what is distinctly forbidden to Christians; and the orderly-book is there to prove it. But it does not abso lutely follow, that if Christian men in the present age find a public convenience in legislating for the cessa tion of trade and traffic one day in the week, it is con trary to the duty of a Christian Legislature to pass enactments with that tendency, or that a reasonable plea could be set up for excluding Mr. Hindley and these who vote with him from their seats in Parliament, on the ground of apostatizing from that " true faith of a Christian" which is the present guardian of access to those benches. This would be excessive ; and there must he a liberty. But at the same time nothing is clearer, than that the legislation is excusable on the .;-round of public convenience only, and not a jot fur-. thur ; and that if any man is detected trying to a'a vance anti-christian tenets under false colours, he ought to be exposed to public odium like other would be deceivers. A man has a right to maintain any tenets he likes, but not to advance them under false pretences. And if this should be attempted, in the present temper of the times, it will end as in the case of another notable experiment which history presents. It will give no pain to the intelligent members of a Church which had once a greater number of fol lowers in this country than at present, to assume that an ancient establishmentin the plenitude of its power did, at one time carry its interference with men's secular concerns to an extent which was almost necessarily followed by reaction. Friday, not Sunday, was the day it seemed to fix upon ; and great were the gri maces of our beef-eating ancestors, at the way in which the spiritual power insisted on interfering with the spit and with the pot, on that and other days of its appointment. For a long time the rule went on, and the hungry objectors consented to resist under the stigmas of impiety and bad citizenship ; and the Sir Andrew Agnew of that day if such there were, would probably have thought he did heaven service by introducing a Bill with a preamble saying, " Forasmuch as abstinence from flesh on Fridays is an essential part of the true service of God." But look to the end. As knowledge progressed, and as the burthen of the imposition increased, men be thought themselves of looking into the orderly-book ; and though they did not find there a prohibition against allowing any man to trouble them on the subject of observing Fridays (as is the literal trans cript of the order in the other case), they found what they conceived an absence of authority for the imposition, which ended in a decided breach, extend ing to matters of greater ostensible import. Here then the case stands. There is no more authority in the Christian Scriptures for stopping men's following their callings on one day of the week than for fasting on another ; on the contrary, there is a literal prohibition of the principle OH which the first has been supported, and nothing like it in the case of the other. Tradition too, which is worth something though not everything in this case as well as any other, is all the other way. There is not the slightest trace of the early Christians attaching any idea of sabbatical observance to the first day of the week. They held meetings on it for religious and charitable purposes ; and they made a festival of it, as is con firmed by the display to this day of a tendency to a pudding on Sundays, and by the fact that even in the apostolic age their meetings of a mingled social and religious nature were not free from occasions for rebuke on the score of temperance. The sixth day of the week as hele ss tee oa r .r one crucifixion, and not tile first, was their day for mortification and interruption of ordinary enjoyments; and to this hour the tokens may be seen in Catholic countries, in the Vendredi I?elacke (Friday no per formance), which or its equivalent appears on that day on all theatres. The early Pr o t es t an t s a l so entered their protest against the imposition of the Jewish rule; and those who visit the British Museum may see it in the Confession of Augsburg (A.D. 1530), in perhaps the very copy which was thumbed by hands that afterwards went to the stake upon the same quarrel. Luther is known to have made a point of buying something on the Sunday, or other wise making demonstration of what he called his Christian liberty ; on the same principle that an "old Cnristian" of Castile thinks it a duty to exhibit pork at table as evidence of his freedom from Jewish taint. The Church of England followed the German confessors ; as is shown by the fact that in her catechism, though evidently nut indisposed to as sist in the good government of the numerous classes, she makes no attempt to enforce the duty of any kind of sabbatical observance from the Fourth Command ment, any more than to enforce the making of no likeness of anything in heaven or earth, which large masses of mankind at this hour have derived from the second. Her most eminent men, such as Paley, Arnold, and Whateley, have taken the same side; and there would actually be about as much chance fur men standing up in Parliament to declare the religious duty of returning to the Jewish rite of circum cision, as for taking a similar course in the present instance. Both the learned and the vulgar know better ; if there was a mistake once, there is none now ; and legislation must be upon our own reading, not the reading of our predecessors. The question then, finally stands thus. If there is to be a consent to legislate upon the principles of public convenience and general expediency, includ ing therein a due regard for the habits and feelings of the majority, then peace. But if there is to be an attempt to exercise or perpetuate restrictions with contrary tendencies, and particularlynfifoe workingtherei is to he any inroad on the opportunities of classes to apply their leisure to the a ttainment of then e f gene ral w-ar like knowledgeforefathers, an d and wh with full o le - s i ot mrecreation,e confidence the eimemberssieved ofparliament,sae result. w hSoto feel e s themselves 1 i t r ha u g r a tgh likely to be, as their fathers were wlr kitchens on (littidhaeyr,elhigadioumshaeuhtthnierttietiresdoinetsoththeieirr ifathecrhsednisd, iinhisptehatdatoiefhcoonfseniintipnigetyto cadrr)- B n orderly-booko tbeing,o Li *h boa r C u h n r d is e t r i a t n h s e , g i given to t a sattudoinecse,thaenod iplucko g itheo logical, l u , p t o l resolution,ookiinto albeit the .ielnavastly more contrary, anything their tat er . e t u , rabns and in reality h is s not o f g a o s o c d on a t p ra p r e y ti t t e o m w a n d a e t A further reason list see if of conscientiously is writtenw'ha what h d e i r s is that an organ of the op arising since the (Standard) avows the object to be to pressive party entiously rejecting-. put violence on . tdheobsaete'of different religious belief, he "Jews and R omanists." specifically t da the Incumbered Estates (Ireland) ed in Committee and reported.
