"Ah 1" said Blake, "run up my hunting-whip ; if he sweeps the seas, I'll flog him out of the Channel." Up went the whip. It streamed out its thong, and was the first of British pennants, which have ever since held their own on the masts of' our men-of-war.-- Once a Week.

BURGLARY AND BODBDRY.—George White, alias Knight, described as a sailor, aged 32 years, was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with breaking out of the White Horse public-house, iu White Horse-street, and stealing a gold watch and chain, value £2O, a gold ring value £lO, and £5 in cash, the property and moneys of Mr. John Daw - son, the landlord. A few weeks since the prisoner, who had been working at one of the iron ship building factories in Poplar, sought relief from Mr. Dawson, whose house is used by smiths, hammermen, and boiler makere, and ho set him to work as potman, and he agreed to continuo him in that capacity until he obtained a better situation. The prisoner repaid the kindness of Mr. Dawson by the most black ingratitude. He absconded from the house in the middle of the night, taking with him a gold watch and chain, a gold ring, and .£5 Os. ld., which he took out of a box belonging to the Sail makers' Society. The box was forced open. Three other boxes, in which were the papers only of three other benefit societies, were broken open. Fortunately there was no money in them. Yesterday the prisoner was taken into custody in Woolwich by James Margetson, 122 It, who said he wanted him for a burglary and robbery he had committed in Woolwich since he had absconded from the White Horse, and also for robbing Mr. Dawson. The pri soner said he stole the watch, chain, and money from the White Horse, and was quite guilty of all that, but he was innocent of the burglary in Woolwich. He was taken before the magistrate at the Woolwich Police-court yester day afternoon, and the case of burglary and robbery in that town broke down in consequduce of the absence of a ma terial witness. He was discharged, and recaptured by Police -sergeant Briden, 4 K. Margetson produced Mr. Dawson's gold watch and chain, and 18s. be found on the prisoner when ho took him into custody at the Coach and Horses in Woolwich. Mr. George Callaway, assistant to Mr. Birt, pawnbroker in Woolwich, lent the prisoner £3 on the watch on the Bth of May, and .£2 more on the 17th of May. The Prisoner said he had no decence to make, and he was committed for trial, Calls to the Bar. INNER TEMPLE, June 6.

LAW INTELLIGENCE—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Mr. Justice Blackburn, and Justices Mellor. and Shee.) IN THE MATTER OF AN ATTORNEY. Mr.Woollcott moved for a rule calling on an attorney to show cause why ho did not pay a sum of £7 10s., under the following circumstances. It appeared that in the case of Sullivan v. Goodyear the plaintiff sued an attorney at Swansea for a sum of £5, and, having obtained judgment, entrusted the writ to the attorney in question to be served on the defendant. The attorney received the amount, but when applied for payment gave some evasive answer. Thy plaintiff then commenced an action against him, and suc ceeded in getting a judge's order for the £5, and £2 10s. costs.

The examination of Mr. Nethercliffe, the expert, which commenced yesterday, was resumed this morning with a view to identify the handwriting of George 111. and other parties, whose names were appended to some of the docu ments put in evidence on behalf of the petitioner. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. (Before Mr. Justice Keating and a Common Jury.; RAPPER V. FULLER. This was an action to recover £2l 145., to which the plaintiff pleaded thlit he was not indebted beyond £2 ls. 61., which he paid into court. Mr. Digby Seymour, Q.C., and Mr. Brandt appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Tindal Atkinson for the defendant. ' The plaintiff is a coach-builder, carrying on business in Long-acre, under the name of Xing and Co., a firm which had been established for more than a century ; and the defendant is a doctor, residing at Albany-street, Regent's park, and was in extensive practice. From the evidence of the plaintiff it appeared that he was the inventor and patentee of " the miniatu:e brougham," which was very much patronised. In 1864 the plaintiff placed himself in communication with him respecting the hire of a brougham, but ultimately agreed to purchase me, for which he paid £lOO in cash, and gave a bill for the remainder. The brougham was duly delivered, but in the early part of 1865 it was sent back to the plaintiff to be repaired, the defendant in the meantime being sup plied with the use of another brougham. The brougham was again damaged, and sent to the plaintiff, and during its repairs the defendant was again supplied by him with a brougham. The charge was made for the repairs and hire of the broughams. This evidence was confirmed, and it was stated that the charges made were those usual in the trade. For the defence it was contended that the defendant had bought the brougham with the distinct understanding that it was to bo kept in repair for 12 months, and that, while under repairs, the plaintiff was to give the defendant the free use of another brougham, which was moat positively denied by the plaintiff. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. THE WAY STREET ACCIDENTS ARE OCCASIONED.—Wm. Malkin, a coachman in the employ of Mr. R. Mullinger, job-master, of Chester-street, Grosvenor-place, was charged before Mr. Knox with being drunk and incapable of driving a pair of horses attached to a carriage. Sergeant Edwards, 2 C, said that while in Bruton-street, Bond-street, the previous afternoon his attention was called to the defendant by a gentleman, who said he was driving in a reckless manner. He went after the de fendant, who was in charge of a pair of high-spirited horses, and found him sitting on the box, the horses going at a trot and the reins hanging down quite slack, the de fendant being helplessly drunk. He then took the de fendant into custody, and sent the horses and carriages home. The defendant said he was sorry for what had occurred. In answer to Mr. Knox, the sergeant said the streets were very crowded at tho time, and the defendant was driving to the common danger of passengers. Inspector Bowles said the defendant was very drunk. Mr. Knox said it was shown that the streets were crowded, and that the defendant was drunk and driving a pair of high-spirited horses, and the defendant might be thankful that no accident occurred.- Tho public must be protected, and the defendant would have to pay a fine of 40s. or a month. Testimonial to the Champion of the Thames, .____.___ Last night, the presentation of a splendid testimonial to Mr. Henry Kelley, the champion sculler of the river Thames, took place at the Canterbury Hall. Tho pro ceedings were inaugurated by an elegant suppr, at which over 200 gentlemen were seated at the tables. Mr. Thomas Beard presided ; the vice-chair being occupied by Mr. Charles Bush, the well-known and liberal supporter of all aquatic sports. The testimonial, which was placed on the cross table in front of the chairman is a massive silver vase-shaped cup, 34-inches in height, standing on a plateau of rock-work and water, with water-lilies growing, and swans grace fully floating. It is surmounted by a figure of Britannia presenting a laurel wreath, and on its sides aae a view of Putney and a representation of a boat race, and it is in icribed—" Presented by subscription, to Henry Kelley, in recognition of his skill and prowess as a sculler, and in commemoration of his having on August Bth, 1865, m itered to the banks of the Thames, the possession of the Championship of England." Its handles are formed of figures of Father Thames, with bulrushes and water-lilies entwined. The loyal toasts of the Queen, their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and the rest of the Royal family, having been warmly responded to, The CHAIRMAN said he now came to that part of the interesting proceedings which he might well call the busi ness of the evening. He owed some apology to the com pany for taking the chair on that occasion, because he thought some other gentlemen better fitted to discharge the duty, and one more intimately associated with aquatic sports, could easily have been found to perform so pleasant a duty. (No, no.) He thanked them for their cheering assurance, and therefore ho would proceed with his task. When he looked at the splendid testimonial then before him ho felt that it was one of which Mr. Kelley might well be proud t and that he was worthy of it they might all rest assured, or he would not have been at that table. (Hear, hear.) In the trial of life Kelley had earned a reputation which he felt assured he would never lose, and every gentleman present, he was sure, partici pated in that feeling. Re might dilate upon the qualities of Kelley untilhe quite wearied his hearers, because he felt satisfied that whatever he might say it was no more than their friend Kelley was entitled to. (Cheers.) Their guest had started young in life, and, like all other persons, he had had his ups and downs, but ho had well preserved his balance by the pluck andcourage which they all knew him to possess. When he entered that room he honestly con fessed he was to some extent ignorant of the performances of Kelly; he, however, knew him to be the champion sculler of the Thames, a man of indomitable courage, and one highly respected in both public and private life. He had been well informed since then by Mr. Stanley, and now he was enabled to tell them that Kelley's first public success was the winning of the Leander Coat and Badge, and after that fortune smiled upon him, for at the Thames National Regatta he three times won the champion sculls. (Cheers.) Ambition seized him, he challenged MacKenney, was again successful, and this success he followed up by defeating Buttle at Norwich. His next essay was the contest with Messenger, the then champion, which ho won. The contest with Chambers was a circumstance over which Kelley had no control ; he was not successful ; but a run of good fortune he could not expect to last for ever. The loss of the great object of his ambition to many a man would have been the break down of life ; but not so with Kelley ; he maintained his courage, set steadily to work again, and in a comparatively short time he challenged Chambers, and wen back the great and T glorious reputation A beingreputa s tio e n h o a f mpteah thee w champion rower to ()n the accept the challenge of any man ; but of this they might rest assured, Kelley would never add disgrace to defeat, and if he was ever again vanquished it would be with by adelightbetter man a t h n t e a h p a p n r a h e i i m d s n e g l f e . tt ( t C e h s t e e h r e s t . ) w e e A n l K m e l u l e s y t an a d i l the en No theotherb tit side of would thea great wouldtria becauseour to send their best man to contend with so renowned a sculler as Kelley ; but the honour of the Old Country was safe with Kelley—(cheers) — and that being so, they would be dou be Atlantic but too pleased to give a hearty welcome to ono who came to try the prowess of our English watermen. Two matches were to be rowed on the Tyne, one was five miles straight, and the other 21 miles out and home. The contest was fora large sum—.£l,ooo ; but it was not that which would ani mate their friend, it was the honour of England that would be his strength and his support. The splendid tes timonial which he now had the pleasure of presenting to their guest had been purchased by public subscription to mark the high estimation in which Kelley was hold—(hear, hear) —and as long as he pursued the straight course his friends would be but too happy to give him every support. (Hear, hear.) He (the chairman) had no fear of a depar ture from the honest course by Kelley, and, therefore, he need not point out to him the position of one who took liberties with his friends, and was now looked upon with contempt and scorn. (Cheers.) With honour Kelley was sure of friends, without it ho would fall into utter insignificance. (Hear, hear.) Ho would not trespass on their time . further, but in the name of the subscribers, ho had the honour to present to Mr. Kelley the splendid testimonial now before him for his acceptance, and to in "- . ... , - vito the party to pledge the health of the Champion of the Thames in a bumper. (Loud choors.) The toast was drank with great enthusiasm. Mr. H. KELLEY, who seemed quite overpowered, rose to return thanks for the elegant present. Ho said he never felt greater happiness than he experienced at that moment —it was of such a nature that it precluded him from giving utterance to his feelings. He thought the testi monial was more than he deserved. (" No, no.") He lost the championship, it was true, but he had regained it, and in doing so ho had only done that which there were many other men desirous of doing if they had the opportunity viz., retrieving their laurels. (Loud cheers.) There was no fear for aquatic sports with such patrons as it possessed, and with such gentle men as Mr. Bush, and the Morton family—(cheers)—there was no cause for men going wrong -(cheers)—all they had todo was tokeep honest, andsuccess was certain. In the next race he should try to win, and they might depend upon it that if he defeated the American ho would never loose the championship of the Thame s , because he never intended to take another turn. (Cheers and laughter.) He trusted they would excuse him saying more ; he could not give proper expression to his feelings, but he was certain that with such staunch support as aquatic sport had there was no fear of it ever going down. (Cheers.) He begged again most heartily to thank them for their great kindness. The CHAIRMAN said ho had now another toast to give them, and it was one they would chink with the greatest pleasure—it was the health of their genial and generous vice-chairman—their mutual friend, Mr. Charles Bush. The toast was drunk with the utmost cordiality. Mr. C. Buse returned thanks. He said it afforded him the greatest pleasure to take part in the interesting pro ceedings that evening, because he was very deeply at tached to aquatic sport. It was indeed his hobby. (Cheers.) The success of Kelley was spoken of in all countries, and he rejoiced at it, because it showed the value of upright ness and integrity. Where all was fair and honest the respect of all men was to be obtained, but a de parture from that led to consequences quite the reverse He hoped he should be long spared to participate in aquatic sport, Iliad to continue that support which had been so kindly acknowledged by the chairman. If it was left to himself he would never leave it. (Loud laughter.) With respect to what our guest had said about thore being plenty of good men ready to come out, all ho could say in reply was that he should be most happy to second their endeavours. Theta was one great factlivhich stood out with honour in the aquatic world. No one ever heard of a rob- bery being perpetrated by a boat race. (A cry of 4 ' no maceing.") He couldonly thank them most heartily for their kind recognition of his efforts. (Cheers.) The CIIAIIWAN said the next toast was one that would give the greatest pleasure. It was the health of the prime mover in raising the testimonial, and the gentleman who had catered for them so successfully that evening, viz., Mr. Charles Morton, who had the gratification of having troops of friends, all true to the heart's core. (Cheers.) Mr. C. MonzoN briefly, but very neatly acknowledged the compliment. Ho said what he had done was a labour of love, and therefore his whole energy had been devoted to it. The health of the Chairman having bee n propose d and responded to, the party broke up shortly b e f ore 12 o'clock. the speci a l commissioner of the Poor-law Board, resumed and con c l u d ed the inquiry THE SICK IN THE STRAND UNION W ORKHOUSE. --YeTstHerEdaybiMPrO tN . as to the management of the sick and infirm poor in the Strand Union Workhouse, Cleveland-st ree t , Tottenham court-road,POOR-LAW on charges brought before the Poor-law Board by the late head nurse of this and other work houses.

A VALUABLE CARGO.—The British ship Golden Light was cleared at the Custom-house ha this city yester day for Liverpool, by Mt. A. Soullard, with a cargo con sisting of 2,071 bales upland cotton; 479 do. Sea Island do., and 158,826 feet lumber. The cotton weighed 1,094,0651b5., and the total cargo was valued at 480,986 dols. This, if not the largest, is, we believe, one of the most valuable cargoes shipped from this port this season. Savannah Herald, May 10. Freedom of the City to Prince Alfred. THIS DAY. Tho ceremony of conferring the freedom of the City of London upon his Royal Highness Prince Alfred, took place to-day, at Guildhall, the civic functionaries having taken the greatest pains to give eclat to the prbceedings. The Guildhall yard was covered in, and tiers of reserved seats were placed on each side, all of which were occupied by the friends of the executive com mittee, or else by those who had the influence of procuring a ticket from those appointed to manage the affair. The Prince, on his arrival, wes conducted to a raised dais in the Guildhall, and there, in the presence of a very large Com pany, his Royal Highness went through h.s part of the per formance with the greatest patonce. After the formal business was transacted, his Royal Hi g h_ uess partook of luncheon.; and haviNg delighted the citi zens with his condescension, his Royal. Highness quitted the city.

Baxendale and Co." (Pickford and Co.), was heard, brought to recover com pensation for a street accident. Mr. Hall Smith was for the plaintiff, of the firm of Barry and Fitzmaurice, tea dealers, Mincing-lane, and Mr. Joyce appeared for the de fendants, who had allowed judgment to go by default. The damage was laid at £5OO. The plaintiff was in Fen church -street on the 19th Feb., when a package fell from one of Pickford's vans and injured his face. He was, it was alleged, disfigured for life. His medical and other expenses were about £2O, and he considered he was entitled to £250 for the disfigurement, and £250 for his loss to the firm. The jury assessed the damages at £5O.

A MONSTER ABATTOIR.--A new city slaughter house has been erected at Bridgeport, near Chicago, in tended for the entire slaughter work of the latter city. It is 270 feet long, 175 wido, and three storeys high. It has a daily capacity for working off 1,200 head of cattle, 2,000 hogs, and 1,000 sheep. TAE METRIC SYSTEM IN AMERICA.—On the re commendation of the National Academy of Sciences Congress passed recently a bill, which has since beep approved by the President, providing for the issuing of a coin of the value of five cents, which shall supersede all pap3r fractional currency of a less denomination than ten cents. This coin is to be connected with the French metric system by its weight of five (Fr.) grammes, end its breadth of one-fortieth of a metre (39.37 in.) On Thursday the house passed promptly three bills providing that hereafter it shall be lawful throughout the United States to employ the weights and measures of the metric system ; directing the Secretary of the Treasury to furnish each State Government with a set of these standard weights and measures; and authorising the Pre sident to appoint a special commission to negotiate with foreign Governments for the establishment of a common unity of money, of identical value in all commercial countries which shall adopt it. These are very consider able strides in a direction towards which all Europe is tending, as we took occasion to show in No. 39 of the Nation. England has gone so far as to legalise the metric system as the House of Representatives has just done ; and it would be well if something like the action of the British Association for the Advancement of Science should be taken here. That body appropriated money to erect in conspicu ous places mural tablets containing the metre and its sub divisions. Besides the most obvious conveniences likely to result from international agreement on the metric system, the aid that statisticians will derive from it is simply in calculable.—New York Nation, May 21. - - UNIVERSITY COLLEGE, LONDON. - MUNIFICENT CONTRIBUTION TOWARDS BUILDING ONE OF THE WINGS. The council at their session on Saturday last, Lord Belper, Vice-President of the College in the chair, were gratified by a communication from Mr. Samuel Sharp; one of their col leagues, to the effect that as, from the increased number of students in the college, and of boys in the school, the need had arisen for a larger space for class-rooms, which would, perhaps bo best supplied by adding a wing to the present building to receive the school, Mr. Sharpe wished to present to the college the sum of £l,OOO as a means of forwarding this desirable improvement, and as a step towards raising a building fund, on condition that the donation should be invested in Consols, and allowed to in- crease ht compound interest by in'esting the dividends in the same stock, until the council, after receiving other gifts for the same purposo, should think fit to make use of it for building. On the motion of the treasurer, Mr. Grote, it was resolved unanimously :—" That the council feel deeply grateful to Mr. Sharpe for his munificent donation, and that the sum be forthwith invested in Consols, to be pre- served and to accumulate, in the hope that Mr. Sharpe's generosity may operate as an example to others." This seems a fitting opportunity to remind our readers of the distinction so repeatedly overlooked between the Univer sity of London and University College. The college, al • •• " though the parent of the university, has no connexion with it, except the incidental one of its students present ing themselves for examination for the degrees of the uni- versify ; and has never received assistance of any kind from Parliament, but owes its existence and maintenance to the contributions of friends, to the liberal principles on which it was founded, and to the payments made by students. Her Hawaiian Majesty, Queen Emma, is at Carlsruhe at present, where she receives kind attentions from the royal family of Baden. Her Majesty will make a short visit to Paris, and then revisit England. Whilst here she will occupy Lady Franklin's house at Kensington gore, which her ladyship has most kindly placed at her disposal, The Queen's stay will probably be brief, and then she will return to her native islands.— John Bull. REVIVAL OF STAGE COACHING TO BRIGHTON.-- On Saturday a four-horse stage-coach started from London to Brighton, with a full load of passengers, and is continu- ing running this week, and its route is through Kenning ton, Brixton, Croydon, Crawley, &c. It has five relays of horses, and makes the journey in six hours. The aboli tion of toll-gates on the roads has induced this experiment, and, if successful, other "drags" aro to be put on the road.

Majority REAL ESTATE INTESTACY BILL. Mr. LOCKE KING moved the second reading of this bill, the object of which was to assimilate the law with respect to real and personal property, in order to esta blish a more just arrangement in cases where persons died Possessed of land and house property without having made a will, or there being any settlement. In the case of a man possessed of personal property dying without a will, one ball went to the widow in the event of there being no children, the other half went to the next of kin ; an arrangement that was perfectly fair. With respect to real property the case was different - a person dying possessed of real property without a will and without settle ment, the whole of the property went to tho heir at law, the widow and younger children getting nothing. It might be said that the widow had her thirds, but what was that—it was the third of the income and not the third of the property itself ; and as an instance he should like to know what the third of the income from a cottage value £3OO could be. (Hear, hear.) The bill now before the house was not au act to abolish the law of primogeni ture, and he was much surprised that such an assertion should be made ; in fact there was no law of that kind in existence. He regretted the bill was to be opposed, but hoped he should succeed in getting the assent of Parlia ment to the measure. Mr. B. HOPE moved as an amendment that the bill be read a second time that day six. months. He quoted in support of his amendment the opinions of Sir. G. C. Lewis and Lord Palmerston, both of which Were adverse to the bill. When the bill was last before th h o ei h u o g t:se in i f t av w o l u ts r r 7 e 6 - , have th ought would j a ec g s t i e n d s , t t2h9el,nsunmdber thats infa fact the h h e e d s i h v o i u s i l o d n have been quite sufficient to prevent the reintroduction of the bill.

He thought that as the bill was of so extensive a nature, that if it was at all necessary it ought to have been introduced to the house by the Government, and not left to a private member. He contended that it was an attempt to alter the whole law of the land by a sidewind. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL thought the injustice of the law as it at present stood has yet to be established. It was his opinion that the law of England with respect to the disposal of land was good, and far to be preferred to that of other countries. (Hear, hear.) Ho did not see any injustice in the law as it at present existed with re spect to younger sons, because they now entered into com mercial pursuits in order to make their own fortunes, and thus they were getting rid of those absurd restric tions which had prevented many a man born in an aristocratic family engaging in trade. If the estate was to be encumbered, with provisions for all younger sons, the result would be far from desirable. Such a system would increase Chancery suits, increase bills of costs, and load to anything but a desirable result. fle was quite content with the law as it stood, and, there fore, he could not support the motion for the second reading. Mr. BRIGHT said the Attorney-General had favoured the house with a speech, which it had heard many times before, but he must say that he (Mr. Bright) lived in hope of hearing him make a speech exactly contradictory— (hear, hear) —and that circumstance ho thought highly probable. (Laughter.) if the law was not unjust to real property, why not extend it to personal property, and what objection could he have to such an arrangement if he really believed what he said ? (Hear, hear.) Why, such an extension of the law, if made, would not be allowed to exist a month. The law gave every man the right to make a will or not ; and if a man thought proper to avail himself of the option not to make one, the State then came in to do that for him which he had not done himself. (Hear, hear.) In the case of a will being made it was but natural to expect that all the children would be treated with some show of affection, and that the property would be fairly divided amongst them. (Hear, bear.) But in the ease of the man dying without having made a will, the State came in to do it for him, and how was it done ? Why, everything was given to one, and all the rest were left dependent on their own exertions. Ho did not consider ,uch an arrangement at all just or equitable, and he, for one, had abstained judging of a man's life until he had read his will, because in many instances the last act of a man's life was the crime of his being. (Hear, hear.) With respect to the opinion of the Attorney-General with re gard to younger sons, he had not heard so much on that point as he (Mr. Bright) had. lie talked of younger sons as if they were persons most justly treated, but who did not think of the matter themselves. Ho would tell the hon. and learned gentleman that he had on one occasion met a younger son, who had been in that house, and although the language in which he had expressed himself was stronger than was permitted in that house, yet he hoped he should be excused if he repeated it just by way of illustration. The young man in question met him (Mr. Bright) after he had made a speech on the subject ,hen before the house at Birmingham, and said—" I've read your speech at Birmingham, and I agree with you ;hat we are d— badly used." (Loud laughter and cheers, That, he considered, was a good answer to the argumen of the Attorney-General. He did aot think that the day had yet arrived for his hon. friend to carry his bill, but it would come, and that at no very distant time. (Hear, and ironical cheers from the Opposition side of the house.) lion. gentlemen opposite seemed to hold those on his (Mr. Bright's) sid3 of the hous3 as hostile to the owners of largo estates. (Hear, hear.) Why, did they not know that they, on the Ministerial side, had done them more good than they ever did themselves. (Ironical cheers.) He, for one, gave his hearty support to the bill. Mr. HENLEY opposed the bill on the ground that i would be a great injustice on the small holders of real pro party in this country. Mr. NEATE supported the bill. Mr. WHITESIDE opposed the bill, and said that no answer had been given to speeches that had been delivered against it. He thought the younger son referred to by the hon. gentleman opposite (Mr. Bright) was what hon. gen tlemen in that house would think a young s camp _ (laughter)—who held peculiar notions with respect to the property of his elder brother. Mr. BRIGHT said it was not so, as the person he had alluded to was of the highest rank and of the highest character. (Hear, hoar.) Mr. WHITESIDE thought that he had expressed him self in a very foolish manner. Mr. E. JAMES supported the bill, which he said was not brought forward to ruin the aristocracy, to undermine the House of Peers, or to destroy the landed interest, but merely to extend that which was just and_ right in cases where personal property was concerned to real property. Lord J. MANNERS begged to ask the hon. gentleman who introduced the bill a question, and it was whether, in tho case of the death intestate of the owner of a palace or hall, it must not bo sold by auction. Mr. L. KING had no doubt that would be the case, but the bill could not effect great lauded estates, all of which were in settlement. After a short discussion, in which Mr. EWART, Sir J. WALSH, and Mr. BARROW took part, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQITER said he did not think that it would be respectful to the house if he allowed the bill to proceed to a division without shortly expressing his opinion on the subject. He was not aware of sufficient reasons for passing such a bill as that before the house, and therefore he should give his vote against the second reading. The house then divided--- - - For the seco n d rea di ng 281 Against it The bill was consequently lost FELLOWS Majority OF COLLEGES DECLARATION BILL. Mr. BOUVERIE moved the third reading of this bill. Mr. G. HARDY opposed the motion, and moved the rejection of the bill, which he said proposed to admit dissenters from the Church of Englani to the teaching and emoluments of the Colleges at Oxford and Cambridge. He did not believe in mixed religious teaching, and no instance could be pointed out where such had been carriod out with success. Mr. POWELL seconded the amendment. Mr. FAWCETT supported and Mr. C. BENTINCk opposed the bill. The latter g entleman was speaking at a quarter to 6, at which hour, according to the orders of the house, the debate terminated. The resumption of it was fixed for the 11th of July. The other orders of the day.wero then disposed of, and the house adjourned. MADAUE TI:SS AUD s. — This old-establi s h e d fa vourite exhibition continues to attract the sight seers w ho visit the metropolis ; and now that excursion trains have commenced running from almost every part of the country to London, we think a more interesting and instructive exhibition than that of Madame Tussaud's can not possibly be found therein. Magnificently executed life-size portrait models of the most distinguished men of the present as well as the past generation are here to be seen, and such persons as may feel desirous of looking at effigies, taken from life, of the most notorious criminals, eau bo gratified by passing into the Chamber of horrors.
