4rdbitrtb Viitton SUN OFFICE, Seven o' Clock. of April was: sufficiently excused by tho %letter of the 9th of March, and also by the communication which had taken place with Bullet. He really could not doubt that there was a right of action on this con tract, and as to what had been urged upon him with re gard to the mis-statements in the bill, he thought that there were certainly inaecuraci , l9, but not of such gravity as to put Mr. Lumley in the po sition of losing that right of action. Upon the whole, therefore, he really thought that this was a case in which, following the view taken by Lord Cot tenham, in Dietrichen v. Cabbet, and following, too, the view previously taken by Lord Eldon, the Court was called upon to interfere by means of an injunction. The Court would regret if the view which it took should b 3 found to be erroneous, and injury should be sustained in consequence by the parties; but he could only say that he was bound to act in the matter upon the view which he took of the law. As to the arguments which had been based on the view taken by the common law, he did not think that they were material. It the contract was a valid contract, and Madlle Wagner was bound not to act in contravention of it, any reference to the law of the place where that contract was entered into, or the mode of proceeding there, was not necessary. The court found a contract, and was bound to prevent any violation of it so far as it could. He, therefore, was of opinion that its plain duty was to continue the injunction. Mr. BACON a,ked that the motion for the dissolution might be refused with costs. His HONOUR said he thought he mutt follow the usual course in these cases, and matzo the costs, costs in the I cause. VICE-CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor PARKER.) THE RIVAL OPERA HOUSES. LUMLEY V. WAGNER. (Continued from our Afternoon Edition). Mr. BETHEL', proceeded to say—With regard to to the law of the case, it must be remembered that the interference of the Court would only be to prevent any thing being dose in violation of the engagement, sad not to enforce speeific performance. Now the judg ments and opinions of thew Court on this subject must be taken into consideration along with the particular cir• cumstauces attending them. Now none of the caned relied upon exactly coincided wich this case, and he con tended that when there was an agreement, the specific performance of which was only enforceable in a court of law, and to the nonfulfillment of which the common law had ettached penal•tigh in the shape cf damages only. it was not competent for the Court to take a part of the agreement and interfere to prevent the violation of • rest part, and leave the whole to take its chance. Ho would conclude by making an offer, which would show the sincerity of the parties whom he represented. Thooffer s winch he had to make was this, that the in jeeteion should be dissoired; and on the part of Mr. Gyo he was willing to offer that Mr. Gye would per seualiy aleawer any nascent ' of damages which Mr. Lumley might be able to recover in any action for breaoh of the agreement which he might think fit to commerce.. elite trusted, in conclusion, that his Honour would bei able to decide this wee fully and fairly upon its merits. His HONOUR then proceeded to give judgment. The case, he said, had been very anxiously considered by him, and in its consideratiOn he had been unable to con ceal from himself that from the manner in which the case had been get np; the 'whole particulars and circum stances had not been laid before him. The Court, how ever, would have to give judgment on the materials be fore it. The article upon eta& the jurisdiction of the Court was founded was the prohibitory clause of the agreement, and the first quest ion for the Court to con sider was, whether that clause was or was not a part of the agreement between the parties. It appeared that Dr. Becher was a mutual friend of both parties, and in October, was e ngaged in procuring e ngagemen t s for Madlle. Wiegner in London and Pude. He was pro gs on the part of M r .L um l ey , w i t h aided, in his proceedings a pro tem form of his usual agreements , in w hi c h was oliatained the clause of prohibition which had formed the subject of so much comment. Otjection was taken to this form of contract by the Wagners, and the result was t tat Lumley 's form ot contract was thrown aside, and a uotv one drawn up, which. being signed by both p ernes, was carried by Becher to Lumley, at _eerie. It was, however, objected at once by Mr. Lumley that the contract did not contain the prohibition, whereupon is was added by Dr. Becher, and signed by him as authorised by Iddlle. Johanna Wagner. There was no doubt that up to this time the Wagners were not bdund by what Dr. Becher bad done. There was nothing to show that Becher had authority to add this clause, and had it not proceeded further he should have had ere hesitation in dismissing this clause as not bind tag .upon them. But an agency might be created by subsequent adoption as well as by precedent authority., Dr. Becher stated that having added tlj clause, he forwarded it ,to the Wagners, and as ho sofa was acknowledged by Madlle. Johanna in the letter of the 17th of November, 1851. Madlle. Johanna how ever, stated that this Jetterweferred to the contract of M. Roqueplan. It was, however, pretty apparent that from this time they treated this as a coreleact, and they could not have treated it as a contract and yet re pudiated this clause; It must be remembered, too, that Mr. Lunaley had not signed any owntract • not containing this clause. Both Madile. Johanna Wagner and M. Albert Wagner, in their correspondence throughout, always considered that there was a coetrect between them and Mr. Lumley, and as there had been no contract signed without this clause, it appeared to him therefore that they adopted the, chew°, and confirmed the agency of Dr. Bacher on their teethe On this part of the case, therefore, he bad 'no doubt in deciding in the affirniative, that the chineta was adopted by them. Thc. next point was the - unfair manner . in which this contract had been . obtained, and it mutt be rentemberece that alt the allegations of unfairness were limited to the introduc ,tion of this clause. Now, he did not think it was a waiter of dispute between the parties that some clause of this . kind was whet might be ealled a clause, of course, in such contracts perfectly fair and justifiable en the part of Mr. Lumley. It appeared that on the first commencement of neestiatioue, and' on the discussion which took place en this clause, the orjectiocs made by. the Wigeers were not so much against a clause of this nature, as against this particular clause as being too far and too general. It must be ob serled that Madlie. Wagner in he r first affidavit stated that she earl objected to signing any engagement con taining a clause prohibiting her froin singing at private cencerte, and Mr. Gye's affidavit was to the effect , that- in the engagements at the Royal Italian Opera three was no clause prohibiting the artistes singing at private concerts. I', therefore, appeared to him that birth parties considered some clause of this nature as a matter of co arse. On the contract, therefore, being sent back to the Wavers they saw the clause, and as they say of jetted to it, and were only quieted by the as surance of Bacher that it should all be set right when they got to London. That was denied by Basher, that it must be observed, however, that might be, but in their correspondence with Mr. Lauiley they never alluded to the cl.u•e, but in their communication with Becher th - y spoke of it more directly, but riot in the way of protest, but only cem olaioieg or it rs part of a bargain which they cousidered hard, but yet;, by which they ...tie then hound. It appeared to him, 'there fore, that they received this as a bargain by which thty were bound, and they were iccliced with their eyes open to ieftre Wen Mr. Lumley to allow them any eteitetanehoi it.

Havin g a l ready , explained the ob. jects of this Bill, his Lordship sail that he did not think it necessary to g o into its details on the present aces s Lord CRANWORTH said he did not mean to op pose the Bill altogether, although he doubted somewhat of its successful working, inasmuch as be thought suitors would not always be inclined to rest satisfied with an inquisition into their anirs carried on by an official bear ing no higher rank than that of a judge's clerk. He thought some measures might be de►ised by which the master's duties should be devolved on the registrars. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that this was the first time that he had heard such a proposition made, but at first sight it appeared to him that the registrars were at present too much occupied by their own duties to be able to hear an additional burden. Lord LYNDHURST advised their Lordships to ad here to the recommendation of the Commmission as embodied in the present Bill. After a few words from Lord CAMPBELL, The Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be referred to a Select Committee. FURTHER CHANCERY REFORMS. The LORI) CHANCELLOR then moved the first reading of a Bill, the second Bill on the subject of Chancery Reform, which he said contained thewhole,of the remaining recommendations of the Commission. Be would not now go into the details of the measure, but he proposed after the second reading, to reter it to a Select Committee, and he hoped to get both the Bills through the Select Committee purl passu, and send them both down to the other House, in full time for them to pass into law this session. After a few words from Lords LYNDIIIIRST and CRAIINVORTII, the Bill was reads first time. LUNACY. The LORD CHANCELLOR also laid on the table, a Bill to improve the sybtem of the administration of the affairs of lunatics, who bad net been declared so by Com -mission, but who had resided a certain time in the lunatic asylum. The Bill war read a first time. CONVOCATION OF THE CLERGY OF YORK. Lord REDESDALE rose to move ;or copies of writs used for the summoning and prorogation of tbo convo cation of the clergy of York. (LEFT SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The, EPEAKEIL .took the Chair shortly before Pour o'clock. TilE SUN, LONDON, existed in the West India islands, yet, under present circumstances, it was not the intention of Government to deal with the subject this session, —(Hear.) He 'must repeat that answer now, while with regard to the second branch of the question he was aura the House would see that it was impossible for him to say what course Go vernment would pursue in reference to this matter next session, though he could assure the Lion. Baronet that this was a subject which would have the constant atten tion of Government.—(Hear.) THE PASHA. OF EGYPT. Mr. ANDERSON gave notice that to-morrow he should ask the Government whether they had received any official information of the termination of the dis putes between the Porte and the Pasha of Egypt. LONDON UNIVERSITY. _ _ An Hort. MLMBER gave notice that in the event of the Right Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer's Bill for appropriating the seats taken for Sudbury and St. Albans reaching Committee he should move that two of the seats be appropriated to the London University. THE REFRESHMENTS STAND IN THE HALL. In reply to Mr. ROEBUCK, Mr. Alderman HUMPHERY, the chairman of the Refreihment Committee, stated that the Lord Chamber lain had directed ;he refreshment stand in the hall, pro vided for the use of Members serving on Committees, to be removed. Mr. ROEBUCK wished then to know from the Chancellor of the Exchequ:r whether the Government were di4posed to tolerate this impertinent interference with the convenience and comfort of Members?—(Hear.) The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said this was the first he bad heard of this grave circum stance—(A lsugb)—and he was not aware whether the act of the Chamberlain was a breach of privilege, but he would make inquiries into the matter.—(Hear, hear.) It certainly was for the convenience of Members that the stand should be restored, and he would see it some arrangement could not be made which should be agreeable to all parties. MINIE RIFLE. In reply to Mr. W. 0. STANLEY, Colonel DUNNE said the Millie rifle had not clearly been proved to be the beat; its advantage consisted in the amount of ammunition it required, and the Master of the Ordnance had directed some experiments to be made with it.—(Hear.) The order which bad been given for a quantity to a Birmingham house was authc rised by the late Government, and aot by her Majesty's present advisers.—(Hear.) PAYMASTERS AND PURSERS. Sir GEORGE PECHELL wished to inquire of the Secretary of the Admiralty what progress ha. been made towards the arrangement for a new mode of keeping the scoouuts of the paymasters and pursers, and whether the report of the Committee would be laid before the House. Mr. STAFFORD said the report bad been received, and the practice reommended would be speedily adopted. There would be no objection to lay the report upon the table.—(Hear.)_ BOARD OF HEALTH. Mr. VIVIAN wished — to ;17ilieCOmmissioner of Works whether her Majesty's Government had in pre paration any mraure for empowering local. boards of health to provide means of burial in their districts where the existing burial accommodation was insufcient; and whither they had any intention of introducing any mea sure for that purpose? Lord JOHN MANNERS said a Bill was in prepara tion, but there was little chance of legislating on the subject this session. _ _ BETTING LISTS. Mr. STANFORD wished to is.k the Secretary for the Home Department if his attention had been drawn to the rapid increase of a species of low gambling houses in all parts of the metropolis, styled " betting houses," with a view to any legislative remedy ? Mr. Secretary WALPOLE said his attention had been called to the subject, but he was 'not prepared to state yet whether Government was disposed to interfere in the matter.—(Hear. hear.) THE UNIVERSITY COMMISSION. Lord J. RUSSELL wished to know when the report of the University Commission would be laid on the table?. Mr. Secretary WALPOLE said it was in the hands of the printer, and it would be laid before the House imme diately.—(Hear, hear.) - NEW SEATS. The orders of the day having been gone through pro forma, The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then moved for leave to bring in a Bill to assign the seats forfeited by - the disfranchisement of the boroughs of Sudbury and St. Albans. He said that when he as sumed his seat, utter his election, he stated to the House, in reply to the Honourable Member for Wolverhampton, the general policy of the Government, and the coarse they intended to pursue for the dispatch of the business before the House. He stated then, that though it was the intention of the Government to counsel her Majesty to dissolve the present Parlia ment, they were not prepared to give that advice until those measures were paned which the exigency of the publio service required, or which the Government considered of paramount importance. He did not men tion all the necessary measures which would be brought in, but he stated there were three of paramount importance : Ist—one with reference to the internal detente of the country; second, another to carry into effect the recommendations for a reform in Chancery; and lastly, he added that the Government intended, when the Bill for the disfranchisement of St. Albans passed, they would ask the House to com plete the constitutional number which formed .the aggregate of the House of Commons. Ho confessed he was surprised and individually pained to hear it in:- sinuated that in proposing this Bill he had taken the House by surprise, and committed, he would not say a breach of trust, though that accusation had met his eye, but tampered with that honourable understanding which ex isted between the Government and the House. He was not conscious of having acted in any other then a perfectly straightforward manner. He trusted this explanation would acquit him of any charge inconsistent with his position, as a Minister.—(Hear, hear.) The Government thought it was highly expedient that the seats vacated should be filled up before the dissolution. Honourable ; Members opposite might ask what particular rc c there was in the numb e r o f 658 W bers era ? Ito confessed he would be som ew h at p erp l e the cabalistic charge as to that fixer'` e d to defend foundation of all arrangement s , 1):- number. The prescription crested by ~wenr, consisted iu by custom. Preseripti exP :srietsee and sanctioned portent element of . ---(v es was the most im thou gh he did not 'thesis and progress and _ Y s _eta to any principle of su p ers ti t i on, he was of opinion that the time h a d no t arrive d when prescription c extra: ea 'Alfa be lightly treated by th e h ouse of Commons. The vi o l a ti on o f prescr i pt i on was an element of distue' eance—it led to discontent, offered a premium of gent prejudices, and invited men to Ilex irdous objects and schemer, and were it for no other reason 'shun these he would warn the House against that which was becoming a continuous and systematic deficiency in the aggregate number of the Members of the House. If the Government followed their own inclinations he hardly knew a subject which they might not more pro perly evade than the present, which was essentially in vidious. Thee did not pr o p ose thi s measure to lengthen the duration of Parliement, but because they consi dered it of great importance that the constitutional number of. Members should be completed before the gissolation.—(Hear, bear.) The impending dissolution, instead of being a reason against the Bill, was the strongest argument in favour of making some ar rangement. That unfortunate jealousy existing be tween town and country, gave rise to a tendency to consider whether oeher elements for forming a consti tuency might not be devised than those which had hitherto formed the elements of the electoral body. Many plans for that purpose had been suggested, which were en titled to very great respeot. The Hon. Member for Malden had given notice of a motion for apportioning two seats to the University of London. That pro position would not give rise to any prejudice in his enind, but on the contrary excited his interest and sympathy. He could not but aemire the idea of permitting science and learning to exercise the popular suffrage ? but when the question was examined, the diffi culties in the way were not inconsiderable. The plan, however, was so plauseble to the reason and captivating to the imagination, that he could easily understand its exciting the public interest and receiving the public ap probation. The Royal Society, for instance, woo a very ancient institution; it was founded by a king, and had been compoded of some of the ' greatest men England have ever produced, and of whom their fellow-subjects were moat proud. Though he ad mitted the great attainments of this eminent body, he thought the elements of which it was composed would not be conducive to a proper representation. —(Hear.) If such a principle were carried out there was no reason why it should not be extended to the zoological, geological, ethnological, and other similar societies.—(Laughter.) In fact, they would place it in the power of any body of men who gave themselves a scientific name to claim the franchiee.—(Hear, hear.) The difficulties were too great to be contended against. He did not wish to impugn or to trench on the privileges of those societies, but if they looked at their constitution, they would find that they weregenerally self:elected bodies They had also considered the claim of the London Uni veiled there to entitle it to the concession. It was not versity, and they did not find that the circumstance pre it must therefore be passed by. justify the claim, an d . yet folly developed. nor was it su ffi ciently extensive to Another oroposition which had been made to them was to concede one Member to the four inns of Court. No doubt the Members of the five Inns of Court would make up a considerable constituency. Their Members occupied . a conspicuous position in history, and many o them had often found their way into Parliamerl where they had rendered the country great service, but there wen. a prejudice which he did not share against the two common appearances of lawyers in the House of Commons.—(Hear, hear, and a laugh.) It therefore would not do for Government to propose allotting one of these seats to the ions of court, and he pas:sed on to the next source, and obtaining a constituency.--(Hear, hear.) Government visaed to complete the constitutional number of the House, before the pending election, and having devoted their anx i ona attention to the sub j ect, and consi dered all the claims that had been urged upon them, they earnf4 e.t last to look about them for the best elements of a new constituency.—(Hear, hear.) Wdl,. then, the result they arrived at was that the claims o f the West Riding of Yorkshire was paramount over all others—(Eleer, hear)—and they proposed that two of these vacant seats . should be conferred upon the West Ridin g of Yorkshire.—(Hear, hear.) It was proposed to divide •the West Ruling of York shire into two divisions, each of which should be repre sented by two members. There were ten bun reds or wapentakes in the West Riding, some Of which contained a greater number if popula tion than othere, and it was on that account impossible to subdivide the Riding according to that rule, as it was equally impossible to divide it according to the existing polling districts selected by the keel magistracy.—(llear, hear.) It was, therefore, pro- I posed to take the simple and intelligible divi sion marked out by the boundary of the Midland Railway.—(Hear, hear.) All the districts on the south east of the railway would bo called the southern divi sion of the west riding, and the northeast the northern division of the west riding.—Gear, hear.) The effect of this would be to give 17,965 electors to the northern, and 18,785 electors to the Southern Division of the Weit Rining.—([sear, hear.) Leeds would thus remain the election town of the Northern Division, while Wake field would still continue the election town of the Sou• thern Livision.—(Bear, hear.) In making this proposal Government had no sinister motive to serve, but they were anxious to appropriate these seats in the manner best adapted to promote the general interest of the country, and if the House should adopt the principle of this first proposal they would be quite ready to discuss in Comm:etee the best and fairest means of carrying it out.—(Hear, hear.) He would remind the Rouse that the question which they had to consider now was not a large measure of Parliamentary reform, but an apportinment of certain vacant sent',, with a due observance of all existing arrang'-ments with reference to the franchise. Taking as a test of the re lative claims :of different places to representa tion, the degree of representation which they at present possessed, he found among most corsiderable constituencies, he found the city of Westminster with a constituency of 14,800 and a population of 241,000 Liver pool constituency 17,400 and a poula•ion of 376,000, Lambeth, 18,000 constituency, 251,000 population. Finsbury, con,tituency 20 000, and population 323,000. Merelebone. 19,700 constituency, and a population of 370,000. The city of London with a constituency of 20,700, and a population of 127,000. The Tower Hamlets a constituency of 23,000, and a population ex ceding 560,000 ; Manchester with a constituency Of 13.900,and a population of 316,000; andSouthLancaslaire with a constituency of 21,650, and a population of 560,000, each of these places being represented by two Members. Taking everything into consideration, her Majesty's Government had 'determined to apportion these two seats to the southern division of the county of Lancaster. This southern division consisted of two hundreds—the hundred of Salford; with a constituency of 12,000, and the hundred of West Derby, with a constituency of 9,500. Each of these hundreds would for the future, it was proposed, return two. Members, making 4 for the whole division, Mr. GLADSTONE rose to move the postponement of the consideration of this question uatil a futuro session. (LEFT SPEAKING.) EVENING, MAY 10, 1852 purpose and uniformity of plan will prevail throughout the building, both externally and intereally, the character of an hospital being completely preserved, ornament being sparingly used, and the desired effect being obtained by variety of outline and happy disposition of the masses of the building. The out-patient department, with the great theatre and chapel above, which will form a very con spicuous object from the new thoroughfare, shows some novel treatment, and promises to be highly effective. The interior arrangements are deserving of the highest com. mendation, and have evidently received the most care ful study. The fault, if any, is certainly on the side of extreme liberality of space; and it is obvious that, though built for two hundred patients, it would be quite possible, without endangering in any degree the health of the inmates, to acc ommo d a t e t w i ce th e num b e r. The soil is gravel, and the facilities for drainage good. The new building, therefore, promisee to be a very creditable addition to the many noble buildings devoted to pur poses of charity, and to the architectural structures which already aiorn the central part of the great metropolis. THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. The following is an extract from a letter from Mr. Alexander Robert Wallace, principal light keeper at Cape Wrath. to his father. Mr. Wallace, in eharge of the Messenger coal &rot afloat at Woolwich:— "Cape Wrath Lighthouse, April 29, 1852.

LIBEL.--TFIE QUEEN AT THE PROSECUTION OP ELIZA BETH FRENCH AGAINST JAMES BIRCH, PROPRIETOR OF THE " WORLD" NEWSPAPER. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Birch (the traverser) made an application in person, grounded upon affidavit, for the postponement of his trial; which was listed for the after sittings, com mencing on Monday next. He read the affidavit, which was made by himself, and stated that in November last he proceeded against Sir William Somerville, the then Chief Secretary for Ireland, to recover what ho con ceited be a just demand for services rendered to the late Irish Government in the publication of various arti cles in his newspaper in support of " law and order;" that upon the occasion of the trial of that case he (the traverser) was vilified, abused, and grossly slandered, in the most unmeasured terms, by Mr. Brewster, Q.C., the defenclan,'s counsel, and father to the prosecutrix, and in such a way as to deter suitors from asserting their just rights; that the report of Mr. Brewster's speech ap peared in all the newspapers, which had since held him up to public opprobrium; and that Lord Naas, the pre sent Chief Secretary for Ireland, in a motion of censure on that Government, on the 19th of February last, in his place in the House of Commons, alluded to the case of " Birch v. Somerville," and described his (Mr. Birch's) conduct as being of the most gross and horrible description—vilifying the character of merchants and others to extort money, and not even abstaining from making attacks upon female chastity for the same pur pose. The traverser proceeded to read his affidavit, which was of great length, and contained extracts from Lord Naas's speech en the occasion in question from the Times and Nation newspapers, &c., to show that he could not at present have a fair trial, as the public mind Was prejudiced against him. The CHIEF JUSTICE—Does your affidavit state that you are apprehensive you will not have a fair trial, in consequence of prejudices relating to the subject matter of the present indictment? Mr. Birch admitted that it did not, but said be could amend it in that respect; and then wont on to say that Lord Naas was either a liar or something worse, and that his Lordship must be a little prtjudiced in the matter, or he would grant the application at once. He next read passages from his affidavit, to the effect that, owing to negotiations that were pending, he had not pre pared for his trial; that he purposed conducting his own defence; that he intended examining a great number of witnesses of rank and high in office; and that, in con sequence of ill health, it would be but a matter of jus tice to postpone the case. Mr. 111ARTLEY, Q C., on the part of the prosecution, opposed the motion to postpone the trial, and in doing so said he would refer to two misstatements which ap peared in Mr. Birch's affidavit. In the first place, it was totally untrue that Mrs. French had ever entered into any negotiations directly or individually with the traverser to settle the case, and she had made an affida vit to that effect; and, in the second place, it was not true that Mr. Birch bad surrendered to take his trial as he alleged. Mr. Birch observed that, as to his surrendering, al though he was nominally arrested, he came to town to surrender, after tendering bail, and the arrest was a burlesque; and as to the negotiations he spoke of, a pro• position was made to Mr. Brewster, who said he would not interfere in the matter, but no refusal was ever made to accept the proposal to apologise which was offered. He (Hr. Bitch) was very timid, and although he had a high opinion of their Lordships' honour, he could not but say that the opinion in the hall was that their Lord ships were so prtjudiced against him that they would convict him of libel for reading the Lord's Prayer— (Laughter)—and ho was almost disposed to think so, when he found that the jury against him was packed by a son of one of the judges, who was at one time known as " honest Louis Perrin."—(Laughter.) The CHIEF JUSTICE said that the application should be refused, as none of the grounds relied on were sus tained. The case of a pending negotiation was contra dicted, as unfounded, and all the other grounds—namely, the difficulty of having a fair trial on the ground of pre judie and the difficulty of obtaining witnesses, and ill health, were equally unsustained, and such as would not warrant the Court in granting the applicatioa, which should be refused. On the application of Mr. Martloy, the Court then fixed Thursday next for the trial. With regard to Mr. Birch' s sworn allegation that his case had been " prejudged" ei ther b y the Time s or its correspondent, the troth will be best ascertained whea the nature of the libel is made public in a court of justice. At the time of its first publication in t h e e gai Q ns u t ee t n h , e s Bench, however, mus t p World newspaper the common decencies of life precluded even the most remote allusion a sense of what is duo to e fo i u n nd th s e matter, and then it - th a to the substance c o c f m t i g e c p h r a o r e g e e e s d i p n r g e s fe r i r n e d put an ei,nhdattoall reasonablereser plaintiff'.

It was inclosed in an enve lope directed to the Earl of Derby. The following letter was then read:— "My Lord,—l hope you will act wiser. You will pardon me, a feeble subject, for telling you that you are not acting wisely in refusing to examine into the justice of my case, which is now before your Government, and which you well know cannot lei contradicted. While I live, my Lord, to you I shall look for justice, and where ever you are I will stand beside you to demand my right. Feeble as I am, it is in my power to expose the iniquities of the case, and to show my afflictions; and woe betide those who refuse me justice. I pray, my Lord, you will give me an answer to this. (Signed) " JoHN MIDDLETON." The prisoner —I signed that letter, and I will never deny it. thr. George Baxter, a chemist, carrying on business at 198, High Holborn, said he had known the prisoner for a long time, and was acquaintsd with his hand writing. He (witness) wrote the letter which had just been read from the prisoner's dictation, wbo signed it in his presence. The prisoner, after it was directed, posted it himself. The prisoner, in a very excited manner, exclaimed, " That he would have justice ; ho demanded it in the name of the living God, and of her Majesty; justice both for himself and his family." Mr. Talbot said he considered that a portion of the letter which had been read was calculated to lead to the conclusion that an assault of some description was medi tated on the person of Lord Derby. The witness Baxter, in answer to questions from Mr. Henry, s a id h e un d erstood the pr i soner had been en gaged by th e l ate Si r Ro b ert P ee l to g i ve evidence a Committ ee o f th e H ouse o f C o mmons respec t i ng disnles bef ore some s Irish fi s h er i es, an d i t appeare d that from the considered that h e effect very great savings.

The prisoner prayed Mr. Talbot to tell his Lordship that his family had been ruined, and tha no person was engaged in the inquiries with regard tt. fisherie s except Middleton, the Government co 'per, who was Amy with out a home. Ile was not, howevt, r, Co ward, much l ess an assassin. the b ish Mr. HENRY observed that the course which the pri soner had p ursue d was not calculated to oward his views, however just his claims might be. The prisoner said ho knew Lord Derby would d2 . l ; i r e every justice, hut there was a hungry muna Treasury called Trovelyan, of whose condv ic4 ho hack . ovraplain. lir. HENRY said that the witness Baxter had acted in a very indicrept manner in taking so active a part in the prisoner's aff►irs. The prisoner, however, Waii the responsible person, and as he had some doubts as to his sanity he should rt mand him until %Vednesdsy, in order to obtain the opinion of a medical man with regard to him. ANOTHER PRISONER CHARGED WITH A LIKE OF PENCE.—Before Middleton had been removed from the bar ten minutes, a young man named William Stuart Sheridan was brought up on a warrant, charging him with a similar cffenee. Mr. Reynolds said that the prisoner some yrars ego held an appointment as a clerk of Excise. His mother having died under circumstances of a very suspicious nature, he was apprehended, tried at the Central Criminal Court, in at; Old Bailey, but was acquitted of the charge of murder, hut in conse quence of certain facts elicited on that occasion it was deemed advisable to dismiss him from his situa tion. Since that time he had written several threaten ing letters to Lord John Rissell, who considered it ne cessary that ha should be given into custody, and he was examined at this court and held to bail. He (Mr. Reynolds) would now read a letter which the prisoner had written to the Eail of Derby, and ho hoped the Magistrate would agree with him a ter he had heard the evidence, that he ought again to be held to hail:— "Harrison-street, Gray's Inn•read, May 4. "My Lord,—l had the honour some tin e since of ad• drer.sing your Lordship on the following subj,c!:— Having been placed in an unfortunate position, from which I was honourably releastd, I sae most unjustly deprived of my station in the revenue. As my misior tunes are of such a nature that I ought to be restored to the rights and privileges of a gentleman, I most ear nestly appeal to your wisdom and goodness and humbly hope you will cause an inquiry into the matter. The fate of the lamented Mr. Perceval was a❑ instance of the danger of disregarding claims. I need not press upon you that redress should be afforded. It will at once appear evident to your Lordship, from your high qualities.—l am, &c., " W. S. SHERIDAN." The prisoner—l don't deny writing the lottt r; but I consider his Lordship ought to be present in order to prove the case. Mr. Talbot having proved the receipt of the letter, and a clerk in the. Excise, formerly a col:eague with the prisoner, having identified it as being in his hand writing, The - Prisoner said he was in great distress, and that was what induced him to make reference to the case of Mr. Perceval. He meant no harm, and begged to submit that there was no direct threat contained in his letter. He did not deny that he had been tried at the Old Bailey; but he had been most honourably acquitted. Mr. HENRY' said that, considering the prisoner had been held to bail for six months once before, for an of fence of a similar dcscription, he should call upon him to find bail, himself in 100/., and two sureties in 501, each, to keep the peace for twelve months. PANAMA RAILROAD. (From the Panama Herald) The Panama Railroad was regularly opened for travel on the 15th of March, and passenger trains pass daily over from the Atlantic terminus to the Buyo Soldado, leaving the former place at half-past six o'clock AM , and the latter at four o'cleek r.m. A new city, called Aspinwall, has been founded at the gulf terminus of the road to Navy Bay. Within the past few days we have had occasion to make an examination of the Panama Railroad, from its terminus at Aspinwall (late Navy Bay) to King's station, a distance of about 20 miles by railroad, and about 40 by the river route. We left Aspinwall in company with Mr. John L. Stephens, the president of the company, and Mr. George Law, a prominent director and very large stockholder, and Mr. M. C. Story, one of the largest railroad contractors in the world. These two latter gentlemen were on a visit of pe•sonal examination, and we availed ourselves of their offer to accompany them in their trio of observation. At Aspinwall we found everything instinct with life tied motion. Many large warehouses, three or four hotels, and numerous private dwellings were either already con structed or in the course of erection. A large and com modious brick edifice, designed as the afice of the com pany, was rapidly striding upward, under the active energy of a hundred masons, bricklayers, and joiners. We had the pleasure of being present at the interesting ceremony of laying the corner stone of this building. Large docks have been constructed, so that vessels drawing upwards of twenty feet water may be moored safely at their sides, and another, intended solely for the use of the United States' Mail Company's steamers is in the course of con structicn by Mr. George Law. Several vessels were arriving and discharging their cargoes at these docks, and others were lying at anchor a short dis tance from the shore. Men were busily engaged in " cribbing in" or filling the spaceway between the piles on which the road runs some distance with stones, large quantities of which were found in the neighbourhood. Locomotives and twins of dirt and stone cars were con stantly in motion, arriving at or departing from their depots. Barrow-men were trundling their vehicles, loaded with coral rock, with which the streets are being laid out and constructed and in fact everything, by stir and activity, indicated more of the spirit of genuine American enterprise than we have ever witnessed iu this country. Leaving Aspinwall, after having spent nearly two do) s there with no inconsiderable satisfaction, we pro ceeded in cars along the road to Gatun. A large por tion of this section of the road his been Mid on piles, all of which are being rapidly cribbed in with dirt and stone by hundreds of workmen, who employ locomo tives and trains of box c ire for the service. This has always been considered, an] no doubt was, the most difficult part of construction of the whole road It passes through the most swampy portion of the whole route, and had, of course, to be constructed on strong piles. The whole is being rapidly filled up by cribbing and embankment, so that in a few days it will be as firm and solid as the better portion of the road. Distance from Aspinwall to Gatun 7i miles. From Gatun we proceeded in cars along the line to Lion Hill. The road here, with the exception of a short distance, is laid upon sleepers without piles—the earth being firm and compact, and the slight excavations or embankments making a read as solid and beautiful as can be found , in any portion of the United States. Dis. tanco from Gatun to Lien Hill 55 miles. From Lion Hill to Station the road is of a very superior character, the work strong and well done, and with no embankments or exavations of importance. Distance from Lion Hill to Miller's Station, 14 mile. This side of Miller's Station the road is completed, and in running condition, up to a point between Buyo Soldado and Ague Salud, or King's Station. One of the best specimens of work which we examined on the whole route is the construction of a culvert of a very hard granite rock, hewn out of the side of the adjoining mountain, and handsomely cut, dressed, and foimed into a culvert near Miller's Station. The work is on Miller's line, which, together with the very superior work along the whole of this line, rr fisets great credit upon Mr. Miller as a civil engineer and faithful workman. From Miller's Station to Buyo Soldado is 3i miles. At Buyo Soldado the work is rapidly progressing, and will soon be completed to Agua Salud. Thence it will be rapidly carried to the crossing at San Pablo, where arrangements are already completed for the construction of a bridge 175 feet long, with abutments of stone and piles, or piers of truss-work of the strongest character. The whole length completed, over which locomotives and cars are now daily passing, is 184 miles, reducing the boat travel on the river to about 21 miles, instead of 60, to Gorgona. The total number of workmen engaged on the road is 1,200. A road is to be cleared immediately from San Pablo to Gorgona, distance five miles and a halt' so that by the time the railroad reaches San Pablo, on the opposite side of the river, mules will be ready on this aide to re ceive passengers, baggage, and freight, for conveyance to Gorgons, and thence to this city. Passengers, therefore, landing at Aspinwall early in the morning, can easily reach this city the next day by twelve o'clock a. M., making the ordinary a inaryhetrlafnsilttwieithal a neoessary stoppages in one day d con templated, and we have every renasonable assurance to that effect, that the road will b e thus opened by the latter part of May, or on the lit this city and st of June ensuing. In'regard to the railroad between Gor gona we have the pleasure to s t a te that the whole work is to be put under contract, in one body, immediately. To that effect the contracting [Julies Messrs. Schuyler, of New York, sent out an examin ing ot party, here,ecd who, consi s t in g of Messrs. Cross, Wesson, a nd accom panied by Mr. Se nter, the Vice-President of the rail road, have already examined the line, and have returned for the purpolie of making their report and the estimates. They arrived in this cay on Friday week last, and l e f t the latter part of lust week. Immediately on making their report men will be dispatched with tools and ma necessary for all aura sea, obinery and a considerable portion of the work, we have good reason to belieie, will be completed, and other parts in progress, be fore a check is given to the operations by the rainy season. Meantime extensive repairs and improvements are ;to be made by the company itself on the Gorgona-road; bridges are to be thrown across the streams; the sloughs are to be well filled, and the worst ascents and descents along the sides of the mountains are to be changed and repaired, so that it is supposed that all future travel and transportation will be by this route, and that there will be no occasion at, all, hereafter, to use the Cruces road for those purposes. We may add, in conclusion, that one of the chief ob jects of t'he visit to this city of Mr. G. Law was to exa mine the Gorgona route, with a view to ascertain the feasibility of so far improving the rood temporarily as to effect the above desirable object, and that. having made a eareful examination of et, ho returns home, with the intention of recommending the adoption of such a course at once, which in all probability will be fully and imme diately carried out.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,--Of all the numerous benevolent and valuable institutions, of which this country, and this metropolis in particular, can boast, then are few, if any, that have stronger claims to the support of the effluent than those dr:signated by the words at the head of this letter. But excellent as the plan is, and highly as it redounds to the credit of its author, the amiable and indefatigable Earl of Shaftesbury, there are individuals who scruple to contribute toward the funds of these schools—riot that they object to the nature or object of the plan itself, but to the name it bears. I certainly think that a more appropriate appellation might be found, and one also more correct; for the boys, as soon as they are admitted into the schools, however they might have been pre viously clothed in rags, are cleanly and decently clad, and afforded the means of becoming industrious and useful members of society. So far as I can judge from my own personal experience, they are honest, well behaved, and deserving; and last, not least, grateful to their noble benefactor. But my immediate object for thus trespassing on your attention is, to state that lam acquainted with a charitable and wealthy lady, who would readily subscribe to the funds of the schools if the title of them were changed. lam hardly, at this mo ment, prepared myself to suggest any other denomina tion; but doubtless some of your numerous readers will be able to supply that deficiency. Thinking these hints may be of some service, I am induced to forward them to you, for the purpose of giving them publicity through the medium of your extensively circulated journal. Since, however, the foregoing was in draft, it has oc curred to me that one of the following alterations might be suitable, viz : " The Destitute Boys' Schools," or " The Destitute Juvenile Schools."---I um, Sir, &c., 38, Castle-street, Holborn.

KING'S C OLLEGE HOSPITAL. Tho task of removing m Carey street and Gran the old buildings ge-eourt from the site of the proposed new hospital proceeds rapidly. The first stone of the new building will b e l aid by the Ely' of Ellesmere, the Presideit of the institution, on the 6th of June. The new hospital will occupy the extensive site, bounded by Portugal-street, care y' Clement's-lane, O f ~,e; street, Grange-court, end S r . ground of St. Cie -Leen situ the now disused burial 'alent's pat iih will form a part. The new corporation have pow ers un d e r their Act of Parlia ment to purchase the houses at the end of Houghton direct et, whi c h will be pulled down, so as to open out a direct communication with King's College, and to create a new thoroughfare betw een t h e Strand and Lincoln's inn -fields, thus effenti nr , a grea t public improvement. The portion of the building first erected will constitute about a third part of the whole, and wilt comprise the out-patient department, with the operating theatre a n d chap ad evething el abo ve , several large an d han d some wards, modatiou ry of necessary for the convenient accom the medical school. Tho building w ill be comrspleted in two po r ti ons , consisting of a c entre to r wards or tugal-street, with the offices on the ground floor, and the medical wards above, and of the remainder of the Carey -street front, which will consist chie fly of surgical weeds. Tho south front of the building facing Court Gran e. will abut on the new street about to be formed connect Long-acre with the city, which thoroughfare will pass the Record-office now building on the Rolls' estate. When these improvements are carried out the neve hospital will occupy a very convenient and commanding position, at the confluence of several lead ing t 2 horou ghfares. The new hospit a l w ill accommodate 00 Patients, and will h ave a separate out-patient de , partieent on a scale commensurate with the large number of patients of this class which it relieves. The wards, which will contain from 6 to 13 beds, are all grouped around the grand staircase, which will be of very noble dieePnsions. The wards will be unusually spacious, the allowance of air to each patient being from 1,800 to 2,5C0 cubic feet, and 'the beds are to be so placed as to obtain perfect bymmetry of arrangemere, and the ut most convenience for the visits of the physicians and surgeons and of the pupils of the hospital Every group of wards is to bo furnished with a light and airy day ru:m for convalescent patients. The heating will be by open fir e pl aces in all the rooms, and in the hal a n d staircase ; and the ventilation will be secured by the op positee arrangement of the will be mad be windows, to open above and below. The temperature will which econom;zed to the utmost by glazing the windows with thick glass. In rough weather, w hen the windows of the wards cannot be conveniently opened, the great stair case will be a valuable reservoir of fresh sir for admise siou into th e wards from the passages. The h osp i tal will rec e i ve air and light f ro mtwo spacious court s, sur rounded partially by low build i vga.
