IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. -; • ROUSE OF COMMONS, May 10. JOIN f- STOCK COMPANIES BILL. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) Mr. M. GIBSON thought it would be better to leave the Bill as it was ; but if lion. Members would allow this clause to be postponed, they would, on the bringing up of the report , pr o p ose a c l a use giving the disere tion to the Lord Chanc ellor that was proposed, of sending the-Matter either to a Commissioner of Bankruptcy, or a Master in Chancery. After a few observations from Mr. EWART, Mr. HUME objected to anything being referred to Masters in Chancery.—(A laugh.) Mr. WOOD objected to the matter being left to the discretion of the Lord Chancellor, and thought that the clause would be much better as it at present stood, than with the proposed alteration. Mr: HUDSON was glad that Hon. Members opposite had given way upon this point, and would introduce a clause giving a discretion to the Lord Chancellor. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the clause postponed, upon the understanding that a clause should be introduced at the bringing up of the report, giving the Lord Chancellor the discretion of either sending the matter to a Master in Chancery or a Bankrupt Com- missioner. Clauses 2 and 3 were agreed to, with a few verbal amendments, as were also clauses 4 and 5. Clause 6 was struck out. Clauses 7,8, 9, 10, 11, 12, and 13 were agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. On clause.l4 being put, Mr. HUDSON moved the following amendment for Mr. Headlam:—" Provided always, that no order abso lute shall be made if it be proved to the satisfaction of the Court that the petitioner had, at the time of the presentati ,, n of the petition, been guilty of default in the payment of any calls made upon the shareholders of the company." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL objected to the amendment, thinking that the discretion should be left. to the Court. Mr. HUDSON had had no communication with the Hon. Member for Newcastle upon the subject of the amendment, and he would not press it, as - the Hon. Member for Newcastle might bring it forward on the bringing up of the report. Mr. AGLIONBY thought the amendment a most important: one, and well deserving of consideration. The amendment was then withdrawn, and the clause as originally iroposed was ordered to stand part of the Bill. Clauses 15 to 71 were. agreed to with a few verbal amendments. - In clause 72 it was proposed to omit the words " the first appointment of an official trustee," and substitute in their place the following words, " the order absolute shall have been made," and also to add the following clause:—" And be it enacted, that after an order abso lute shall have been made execution shall not issue against any contributors of the company at the suit of any creditor, iu respect of any debt due from , the cons any, unless, on motion u, the Court of Cha ncer y. leave to that effect be given; and that upon such motion it shall be lawful for the Court of Cnancery to e ither to permit execution immediately to be issued, or suspend the same tor - such period and upon such terms as !he said Court shall, in its discretion, think fit, regard being had both to the proceedings pending unde r - this Act, and to the- conduct of the sharebolder a gainst whom execution is sought. to be enforced in obeying the same." The SOLICITOR , GENERAL objected to the amend ment, which Wau ultimately withdrawn; and the clause, as originally proposed, was then ordered to stand part of the Bill. The remaining`, clau s es were then agreed to, as were also the schedulesto the Bill, and the report was ordered to be further Considered on Wednesday next. Mr. HEADLAII gave notice that he should, on the further consideration of the report, propose the clause of which he had given TOnotice BAGO RELIEF. The consideration of the third resolution with respect to the T o bago .Reliet and Immigration into British. Guiana and Trinidad, was postponed in consequence of the absence.or . Mr. Hom e . COPPER AND LEAD DUTIES BILL. The second re , iding of this Bill was postponed.' COLLECTORS OF HESS (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill went through Committee. IMPRISONMENT - FOR DEBT (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill also scent through Committee. The other orders were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Four o'clock. ELECTION CoNIMITTEE. LONGFORD. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.) The politng-books and the return trom the Crown office having been put in, a lengthened argument arose as to the'povter of the Committee to re-open the regis tration, which had not terminated when the Committee rose, at four. o'clock. RAILWLY COMMITTEES. GROUP V. This group re-assembled at the usual hour yesterday; Sir Robert Peel in the chair. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD (PURCHASE OF STEAM-BOATS). Mr. ALEXANDER addressed the Committee against this Bill, on behalf of the Steam Shipping Association. He contended that if the Committee allowed the com pany to become the proprietors of steam•vessels, it would prove greatly detrimental to the interests of the public, inasmuch as it would have the effect of destroy ing all competition in the runn , ng of steam-boats from L ive rpool, and other places in that district, to Ireland. Mr. Rowe alio opposed the Bill on behalf of the City of Duolio Steam-packet Company. The Learned Gen tleman's address occupied the Committee up to its The Committee adjourned at four o'clock till to morrow (this day.) GROUP XIV. EXETER, YEOVIL, AND DORCHESTER. The opposition to the subscription contract in this case was resumed. Mr. KEATING, on behalf of the opposing petitioners, abandoned the objections to the individual subscriGers. The CONMITTEE then called upon the counsel for the promoters to argue ; the point as to whether the South Western directors had power to issue the contracts and bind their company to subscribe a certain proportion of the capital for carrying out an independi.nt line. This argument had not terminated when the Corn? mittee adjourned at tour o'clock till to-morrow (this day). . LAW INTELLIGENCE. JUDGES' CHAMBERS. THE QUEEN V. WILLIAMS. Tbis was an application to Mr. Justicel Erle to admit to bail Henry Williams, who is at present in Newgate, and who stands committed to take his trial at the Central Criminal Court upon a case of daring plate robbery. The facts of the case were these :—On Saturdty week two young fellows, who gave toe names of Williams and Lloyd, were committted from Lambeth Police -court to take their trial at the ensuing session residence a daring at the Central Criminal Court, on a charge of mid-day plate robbery at the in the . e-of Mrs ' Stevenson, a widow lady residing neighlcadrilnof the Wandsworth-road. An application committal to imr :_ o made at the time of their application to admit the prisoners to bail ; but the after a person applied fora copy of the d e p o sitions against that he was c l er k t o an attorney, whose name he me iemelitioned, a n d w h o , h e i said, was employed by the the then sitting magistrate, on prisoner, Mr. Elliott, referri ng t o th e Act of Parliament, found that depositions ; his attorney were alone entitledprisoner or and, as the applicant was neither to the The nor the other, he could not comply with his request. magistrate also remarked he could not r fi e of the attorney mentioned in the " Law L l ia d t t ' .?e s name. days after, an authority, signed by the prisoner, --oine,, witnessed by Mr. Keene, the Governor ofi o :T 11 . monger-lane Gaol, was served at the court, an - j e ,: ‘ request that a copy of the depositions might be g i ve - n . to the solicitor, and this was dune. In a couple of days after a writ of certiorari was also served at th e court, decreeing Mr. Norton to send before the judge in chambers the original depositions in Williams's case, and the names of two persons were also given in as those who were intended to be given for the appearance of the prisoner to take his trial. The magistrate, suspecting from the fac t, of both the notice fur a copy of the depositions and the writ of' certiorari having ben served at the court at a late hour of the evening, and concluded they ( the when it must be t h a t some trick magistrates) were absent. was intended, gave directions to the chief clerk to attend before the judge, and if he saw any thing wrong attempted, to expose it to his Lord ship. Upon the case goings before Mr. Justice Erle, a you tnan, who had represented himself as at tending on the part of the prosecution, said it wa s not his intention to offer any opposition to the applica tion for bail, being it his Lordship saw no objection to t he prisoner mse lvibeesr: he hadttedo none. on thebail who were about to offer th 11. n.

It seems by t h e same document, that the principal and interest remitted by in dividuals to the paymaster of civil service Ireland, up to din - 34st December, 1847, in repayment of advances as loani, amounted to 4,956/. 7c, of which 3881 !

Henry Stevens was charged with having robbed Mr. James Wason, solicitor, of Myddleton-square, of his gold watch, chain, and seal. Mr. Wilson said, about nine o'clock on Monday evening he was coming through Tottenham-court road, when the prisoner suddenly pushed against him, thrust his hand into his waistcoat pocket, and drew out his gold watch, which had a small key attached by a chain to it. He immediately called out " Stop thief !" and pursued the prisoner, who ran to a cab stand, and dodged in and out among the vehicles. Prosecutor kept the prisoner in view, and never lost sight of him but for a moment, when he was sur rounded by persons who had assisted in securing him. Prosecutor was robbed of his watch close to a gas lamp, and he had therefore a good opportunity of seeing the face of the thief. He was certain the prisoner was the man who had stolen his watch. The police-constable who received charge of the prisoner said the prisoner laughed at the charge, and said they had got hold of the wrong person. John Vincent, pawnbroker's assistant, 127, Totten ham-court-road, said he heard the cry of " Stop thief !" about nine o'clock, and he seized the prisoner and held him until the policeman came up. The i stolen property could not be found at the time. Wit ness was shutting up shop at about ten o'clock, when he saw a small key hanging on the railings under neath the shop-window. He took it up, and found it was the watch and appendages stolen from Mr. Wason. The prisoner was fully committed. GLERKEN WELL. Henry and John smith, brothers, the f or mer fur teen and the latter nine years of age, we re cha r ged by teen, W. Nichols, a respectable tradesman, residing in Marchmont-street, Brunswick -square, with having been concerned in a robbery. with e fm prosecutoraily everywas sunintdheayheavbeint i o n f g r a i n n d g o t no several his occasions he found that his house had been entered s a t n r d a o trobbedfrom during the de s k theirin the ab s e o n o c o e n , t i n and g.. h money °u se , ab- which was at the back of the pre mises. He did not kn ow whom to suspect un til last Sunday evening, when he resolved to send his fa mily to church and remain at home himself, when he concealed hinbelf in the counting-house, with a view to discover the thieves. He had not been there long before he saw the pri soners on the tiles of an outhouse, when the elder prisoner, with the assistance of a ladder which was in the y h a e r d , , , p e got n e d u , p an to d t loo he ke c d ou i n n t a i i ng de: ho Hus window, ee returned a w n h d ich b r ought the younger prisoner, who got up the o !easier, when he was assisted through the wi n dow f proceeded into the counting-house, on which h e money.

Mr. Sidney, of Hatton-garden, who attended for the prisoners, said they were the sons of a highly respectable g en tl eman , and they had no cause what ever to resort to such a disgraceful mode of obtaining money. Their father was in court affected to tears. The younger prisoner said he was prompted to the offence by his brother, which the latter did not deny. Mr. Nichols said he d'd not wish to press the charge against the younger prisoner, as he thought he was led on by his brother. They were both very young, and he considered that some summary punish , ment ourht to be inflicted upon the elder prisoner. Mr. TYRWHITT said he had only one course to adopt, that was to commit the prisoners for trial, unless he (Mr. Nichols) pressed for their discharge. Mr. Nichols, after some hesitation, said he viewed the case with a parent's feelings, and as their father was so highly re,pectable a man, he would not press the charge against the prisoners. Mr. TYRWHITT said, it did him infinite credit. He remonstrated with the prisoners on the impropi iety of their conduct and the disgrace they had brought upon themselves and family. They had a very narrow escape, and ought to feel grateful to the prosecutor for his consideration and lenity. If he had pressed the charge against them, they most assuredly would have been sent before a jury to be tried for the felony. He_ hoped this would be a caution to them for the remainder of their lives, and he would now discharge them. They then left the court with their friends in tears. Harriet Bodes, a pretty- looking girl, twelve years of age, was placed at the bar charged with having committed numerous robberies. It appeared that on Tuesday evening last, about six o'clock, the prisoner, in company of two other girls much younger than herself, was observed in front of the shop of Mr. Moss, pawnbroker, of Goswell-road, and being suspected by the shoptnan, he went out and missed a shawl and other articles, which had just before been outside the shop for sale. He followed them and stopped the prisoner, who bad a basket, but her companions ran away and escaped. On searching the basket the mis sing articles were found, together with numerous others, and it was evident that she had been levying her contributions at other shops in the neighbour hood, which proved to be the case, as after she was given into custody inquiries were made, and the property found was traced to have been stolen, and the owners attended and identified the prisoner as having called at their shops on pretence of making trifling purchases, and the articles were missed after she had departed. The priioner's mother attended with the two little urchins who were with her—her sister and cousin, the latter an idiot. The prisoner said nothing in her defence, and she was fully committed for trial. WESTMINSTER. James Murphy, a powerful-looking man, apparently about fifty years of age, was brought up for re- exa mination charged with feloniously assaulting Hannah, his wife, an elderly, quiet-looking woman, who was very unwilling to prosecute her husband for the in juries he had inflicted. The prisoner, who denied the offence, was com mitted for trial and the witnesses bound over to pro secute i • but he was ordered to be brought up again on Saturday, in order that the evidence of the medical gentleman, who was not yesterday in attendance, may be added to the depositions. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY. AFTERNOON SILTING. At the commencement of the afternoon sitting. Mr. Chill hinded in a soveretn, as a contribution to the 10.0001. fund, trim a friend to the cause. The CHAIRMAN said he had received a letter from some individuals, which insulted the Assembly, by call ing upon it "to disperse."—(Laughter.) STANDING ARMY. Mr. RANRIN moved, that " This Assembly is of opinion that a standing army is contrary to the prin. ,iples of the Bri:ish Constitution, and inimical to the liberty of the subject. We, therefore, recommend to r.he country the propriety of holding large public meet• ings in favour of a gradual abolition of the army, by allowing the men to retire upon giving timely notic,-; also, in favour of abolition of flogging, an equalization of pay, the raising of officers from the ranks, and a better provision for veterans, such provision to be according to the length of service, and to be given either in money or in land." Mr. HENRY seconded the motion, which was carried after several delegates had expressed themselves strongly against the enslaved condition of the British soldier, and their especial abhorrence of the brutality of flogging. At a subsequent period of the sittin.. Mr. M'GRATII, who had absent on a deputation to e Mr. O'Connor, gave notice that he would move that the resolution be rescinded. th"r' HENRY moviql that an address, explanatory of enslaved condition of the British soldier, ' be issucd, lot to the baneful efforts of the recruiting sergeant. Mr• STEVENSON seconded the motion, which was agreed to, o n the O'Connor to know when he TILECTORA in tendedhad wa i to ted br u i ro g n fo l r itz ;rd Mr. ADAMS said, m o o r.: forward a hi part of a deputation which had given notice that, nEv :i h il n a m r t . h te e r, li m ou r s . e of Com ths' residence, mons, based upon the .People's O'Connor motio had stated to them that Mr. Home h on the 21st of May, he would bring for universal suffrage with tw e l ve vote by ballot, triennial Parliam ents , and e di s t r icts.—(Cheers.)

SMITH O'BRIEN. The following correspondence between the Lord Chan cellor and Mr. Smith O'Brien may be regarded as pre liminary to the withdrawal of the commission of the peace from the latter.— " Secretary's Office, Court of Chancery, Dublin, sth May, 1848. Sir,—l am directed to info, m you that the Lord Chancellor has read a document in the public papers, purporting to be signed by you, and entitled, Procla mation by the Council of the Irish Confederation,' and I am to request you to state as a magistrate, if that do cument was signed by you, or has been published, as having your signature with your sanction, and whether you wish to offer any explanation of a proceeding which appears to the Lord Chancellor to be greatly at variance with the conduct to be expected from a gentleman holding her Majesty's commission of the /Nice.

"In answer to this inquiry, I have much pleasure in stating that the document in question (though I cannot claim to myself the honour of having composed it) was signed by use, and has my full sanction. " Conceiving that his Excellency the Lord-Lieutenant had, by means of a Government proclamation, pro pounded to this country opinions inconsistent with the :aws of the land, relative to certain suggestions which had been offered by the Countil of the Irish Confedera tion, touching the formation of a national council, and of a national guard, I felt it to be my duty, with the concurrenc e of the council; to warn the p e ople of Ire doctrines set forth in such proclamationa il l ega l "With regard to my commission of the peace, I beg to remind you that I resumed_ it upon the- invitation of ln d t hatan d they. unconstitutional ought not to pla ce an y re li ance u p on th e • • . the Lord Chanceflor, ,at the. instance. of itwenty two magistrates of ,the county Limerick, who spontareousl3, and without my knowledge, signified their opinion to the Lord Chancellor that the public interest required that I should be invested with the office of justice of the peace.

The usual weekly meeting of the Repeal Association was held this day at Conciliation Hall; A. H. Stritch in the chair. The proceedings were of no public interest. The rent for the weelvamounted to 281: II& PROTESTAikiT• REPEAL ASSOCIATION. DUBLIN, MAY 9.—The fi rst meetin g of this body, which takes place this evening, is looked to with great curiosity—not, indeed, tor any exposition of the views which may be put forward, but rather for the rank and position of the parties who are about to take the lead in this novel movement. As yet no names of any emi nence in the political world have been mentioned as the pullers of the wires; but it is said that the great body of the • members is composed of shopkeepers and respectable tradesmen—Protestants, of course—and it is added that after the association is fully organized its ranks will be recruited by the accession of two or three gentlemen who have hitherto taken a very prominent part as opponents of the agitation for domestic legisla tion. All this, however, is little better than mere rumour, the truth or falsehood of which will be tested, if not this very night, at furthest in the course of a few brief days. A PRIEST DOING PENANCE. Father Bermingham, of Borrisokane, the author of the celebrated letter preaching blood and slaughter, and who was very properly suspended by his bishop, has mounted the stool of repentance, and in an abject COM. munication addressed to the Evening Post, the organ of the Irish Government, makes the following retractation of his errors, which, it is to be presumed, will entitle the rev. fireband to the. benefit of full absolution, and what is nearly as good, be a ready passport to the restoration of the snug benefice, the funds of which were in a fair way of being diverted into the pockets of some brother of the cloth less prone to deeds of war than the corre spondent of Mr, Meagher of the sword:— " Botrisokane, May 7. " Sir,—l deeply regret having caused to be published in the Nation newspaper of the 22d of April a letter by which I have incurred, and doubtless justly, the dis pleasure and severe censure of my bishop. I now fully and entirely retract this letter, as appearing to others, and to myself on more matureconsideration, to have a tendency to incite to civil war with its deplorable consequences. As a minibter of religion and a Christian I deeply deplore that this letter should have a meaning so much at vari ance with the teaching of our Divine Redeemer and his blessed apostles; and I beg leave to express, through the medium of your respectable journal, these my seed ments of regret and my retractation of the letter.—l am, sir, your obedient humble servant, " JAMES BERMINGHAM, P.P." THE POPE AND THE GODLESS COLLEGES. The Freeman's Journal has the subjoined communi cations from the holy city. The tenour of this intelli gence is totally at variance with a report which has been current here for the last few days, and which is to the effect that Archbishop Nicholson (late of Corfu), who had arrived in Rome previous to Drs. M•Hale and O'Higgins, in an interview with the Pope, had made so strong a case in favour of the new colleges as to con vince his Holiness that, by some slight concession on the part of the British Government, the affair could be so adjusted as to satisfy tho scruples of those who objected to the measure in its present shape:— " Mullingar, May 7. "Dear Mr. Gray—l hasten to forward the enclosed extract of a letter which I received on this morning. Its publication will afford joy and consolation to the clergy and people of Leland. I request you will give it a place in the valuable columns of the Freeman's Journal. " How delightful to find, notwithstanding the ant' Irish intrigues and anti-Catholic efforts of Lord Mint° and his Whig colleague;, that the immortal Pius IX. is so decid. , d on the two great questions which have ot late excited such feverish excitement in Ireland. The Irish church, which has ever clung to the chair of St. Peter with unshaken fidelity, hails the elevation of our glorious Pontiff as the special gift ot an all-wise and merciful Providence, and daily pours forth her fervent supplications to Heaven to grant him length of days and a lastinr , triumph over the dangers and difficulties by which he is surrounded. " I have the honour to remain, dear Mr. Gray, your obedient and faithful servant, "Y; JOHN CANTWELL." (Extract of a letter from a friend in Rome.) " Rome, April 28. " Dr. M'llale and Dr. O'Higgins arrived in Rome a few days ago, and were received with marked attention by the highest authorities. Though the Pope was very much occupied with the ceremonies of Holy and Easter weeks, still he wished to see them immediately after their arrival. They had a long interview with his Holi ness, by whom they were received in the kindest and most affectionate manner. Of course the ecclesiastical affairs of Ireland formed the subject of conversation. His Holiness spoke of the Irish Church in the highest terms of admiration. The courage and constancy (said he) with which the Irish preserved their faith during three centui ies of persecution were really miraculous. It was one of the glories of the Catholic Church to be able to point out such examples of heroism in her chil dren. The Holy See (he added) had always been sin cerely attached to Catholic Ireland, and felt the deepest sympathy in her sufferings; and us for himself, he re garded the Irish Church as the apple of his eye. " His Holiness, in the course of the interview, ex pressed his disbelief in the charges that had been made against the Irish 'clergy, and observed that the very persons who had been some time ago loud in their com plaints against the Irish priests, were now heaping praises on them. " The condemnation of the provincial colleges was also mentioned, and his Holiness spoke with compla cency of the step lie had taken —he had condemned those colleges, in the hope of making or preserving the education of Ireland, Catholic —he could not withdraw the principles on which he then acted, and he trusted that the measu res he bad ad o p ted would be beneficial to religion." As to a th dilomatic relations between the Holy See brought s and f England, or hp forward r d e i o n b a serve wayd that injn r i t o h n e s B t l o h n s r q i g u h e t a s t o n E w n g a land would not recognise him, or treat him as the head stances, he ecclesiastical saide nv h o e y e f o r e o l m d not Roin receivee of the Catholic Church. Eng land would not receive an cacleeseisUndaen E Under su n c g h li t s :i h rcu am m . - n aassador. " The two excellent prelates were deli g hted with their interview, and can not suffi c iently express their admira tion of his ilolieess. I t i s a great blessing for Ireland that so great and good a Pont iff now fills the chair of St. Peter—our Church will be perfectly safe under his protection. All Ireland ought to pray fervently for the welfare of his Holiness, and to beg of God to rescue him from the great dangers by which he is surrounded." BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD JUNCTION RAIL WAY —Au adjourned half-yearly meeting of the share• holders in this company was heed yesterday at Dee's itoyal Hotel, Birmingham.

This ancient hospital, founded in the year 1123, by Rahere, minstrel of Henry 1., re-founded in 1547 by the bounty of Henry VIII., was yesterday visited, accord ing to annual custom, by the President and Governors. Although so long a period of time has elapsed since its first institution, though it has grown rich during the interval, and with its wealth might be supposed to have acquired some of those vices with which large revenues and great age are generally associated, there can be no doubt that it still retains all its youthful vigour, and fulfils to the spirit and letter the purpose of its founders, " moved thereto with great pity for and towards the relief and succour and help of the poor aged sick, low, and impotent people lying and going about begging in the common streets of the city of London and the suburbs of the same, and infected with divers great and horrible sicknesses and diseases." Such is the language of the Royal Chatter, and truly the visitation of yesterday bears out its terms. Within the space of 300 years the hospital has increased to an enormous extent. It was first erected to contain 100 beds, arid its medical staff consisted of a physician and three surgeons Now it accommodates on an average more than 600 patients. Its medical staff has been proportionately enlarged; a eollegiate establishment has been connected with it; and, in every respect, it has adapted itself to the growing wants of the metropolis, and the increasing emergencies of science. Among its surgeons, physicians, and professors are some of the most eminent men in the profession, and its interests are watched over by a trea surer whose benevolence and zeal have done more per haps than anything else to extend the sphere of its usefulness. Yesterday the Lord Mayor, who is virtute officii pre sident of the hospital, accompanied by a large body of Governors, visited the wards, and a more interest ing and satisfactory inspection it has seldom been our good fortune to have witnessed. Not only was every corner of the whole hospital scrupulously clean, but each room was ventilated in the, most admirable manner, choice flowers were scattered profusely in every direction, and the patients, in the midst of all their physical suf fering, were evidently in the enjoyment of perfect ex terms! comfort, receiving attention far greater than they could possibly command at their own homes, and cared for in the most benevolent and considerate manlier. Mr. Bentley (the treasurer), Mr. Lloyd, Mr. Lawrence, and the other officers of the hospital accompanied the visi tors while making their round of the wards, and in each the patients and their nurses were questioned as to any ground of complaint which might exist. In e very in stance the medical men, Miss Baker, the mairefe and the poor suffering victims of disease themselves, bore testimony to the kindness of the treatment they expe rienced from the sisters and nurses in attendance ; while as a stimulus to perseverance in good conduct, the Trea• surer awarded prizes for good conduct in the following cases :—Ann Briggs, John's Ward ; Frances Dixon and Mary Abbott, Queen's Ward ; Elizabeth Church and Ann Lewis, Faith Ward; Mary Lane, Bentley Ward; and Mary Duffin, Henry VIII.'s Ward. The rewarde given were-51. to the sisters and 21. to the nurse's and it was evident that they were awarded with great discrimination. Among the remarkable features of the inspection we noticed the prevalence of erysipelas, cases of very low type, and also two cases of exceedingly rare diseases—one of catalepsy, the patient being a boy not more than seven years old; the other of molilies opium. The use of chloroform is extensively and successfully practised in this hospital. We were informed that it has been administered without the slightest injury in more than 3,000 cases, and several of the wards were filled with patients who bore testimony to its efficacy in dead ening the pain of- a severe operation. After the visitors had made the round or the Hospital they dined in the great hall with the medical officers and the prize students for the year. The dinner was supplied in the usual style of the Messrs. Staples, whose good cheer contributed not a little to the pleasures of the evening, and to the heartiness with which the dif ferent toasts proposed were received. Mr. Toole was toastmaster. APPEARANCE OF THE NATIONAL ASSE ABLY. (FROM A PRIVATE LETTER.) I succeeded in getting into the Assembly, and was much interested. The room is the court-yard covered in, and is enormous, The public are placed at the end, and the number who can be present so small that they could not possibly overawe the debates, as in tortner times. I saw all the Provisional Government—Lunar tine, a fine-looking fellow, but greyer, older, and with smaller and sharper features than you see him in the prints. Louis Blanc is like Sydney Herbert, raze to 3 feet 3 inches high. Ledru-Rollin much fatter, what the French would call bel homme, i. e. with a swag belly—in solent, arrogant-looking, as he is in the prints. lie was much badgered for the conduct of his commissaries in the elections, which he answered occasionally. I saw all the principal members, Lacordaire, La Rochejaque lin, Duvergier d'Hauranne, Berryer, Odilon Barrot, &c. I was much surprised at the respectable appearance of the Assembly generally. They disregarded the decree of the Provisional Government prescribing an uniform, which not one wore, and yet I assure you to the eye, making allowances for French beards and costume, they looked quite as respectable as our own House of Com mons; indeed I did not see a single figure so bizarre as Sibthorp among them. By a curious coincidence, on the day and at the hour of the opening of the Assembly, when the guns were announcing the departure of the Provisional Government from the Hotel do Ville, on th&r progress to the Assembly, Thiers was on duty in his uniform as a private in the National Guard, mounting guard with musket, &c., within the 2d legion. KING'S COLLEGE, LONDON. The following letter was received yesterday morning by the secretary of King's College:— " 18, Belgrave.square, May 9. " Sir,—l have directed my bankers, Messrs.
