The Parliament of 1847 dates from this day the close of its existence, having been prorogued by the Sovaasiost prior to its formal dissolution. The cir cumstance cannot be regretted by the nation—re membering, t, the people cannot fail to do, the extra °rffinarY shortcomings of the recent House of Com mons. It was ' l4 aracteristic of the- d u bi ous position of the represe n t ative, returned at the last general election by the var i ous constituencies, that their legis lative labours comm end a Whig Cabinet in under the auspices of a minority, and terminated under the authority Ot a Tory Cabinet in a minority.

Whatever reforms have been yielded have been yielded only piecemeal and with reluctance. It must not .be forgotten, in extenuation of this fact, however, that the period traversed since the hour of its first assembling at Westminster has been one of almost unexa m pl e d anxiety, and, in some particulars also, of unpr ece d en ted confusion. Scarcely had the disasters c onseque nt upon the Irish famine been ameliorated by a wen derful and t o u chin g muni ficence, when the wh o l e political framework of Europe w rib a l s e cornevvion. convulsed by the out b re ak of a sudden and ter - A g ainst the shock of that revolu tion the Legislature of _Great Britain had to present a stalwort, an d unshaken fro n t —and nobly, it must be allowed, did it in this respect f u lfil the anticipation of the English multitude. It co n ti nue d even at the stormiest periods of the great political convulsion to maintain a serene and elevat ed attitude —directing its energies to the toils of internal adm inistration ; and w hile it vindicated the magna nimity of the Constitution by maintaining the invio lability of the shelter accorded refugees from foreign , countries, it withstood the aggressive influences of the Socialist and Communist conspiracies. Among the historical incidents to be recorded of the Par liament of 1847, its sitting on the 10th of April, 1848, cannot speedily be lost to remembrance. Upon that occasion it preserved the tranquil dignity of discussion at the moment when the metropolis was agitated by the dread of in surrection. In all these critical situations, it must be related to the honour of the Whig Ministry, that the Legislature received the most powerful of all encou ragement through the self-possession of a hesitating, but still, on emergency, courageous and patriotic Government. Especially it must be borne in mind that the glory of the example of Ministerial daring thus set before the House of Commons belongs by right individually to Lord PALMERSTON. In spirited by the decision and boldness of hie, po licy, the Parliament persisted in supporting every act of his adminstration. For inasmuch as these facts are undeniable, the House of Commons elected in the summer of 1847—with all its Lain— must be borne in respectful, and in some sort also, grateful remembrance. Conspicuous among the achievements of the late Parliament was the abrogation of the laws relating to navigation. Tide, it will be recollected, was a pru dent and necessary corollary to the inauguration of the Free Trade system. Besides this, it placed upon ioi iia 1 ~ a a n d d e d to equality w h i s c u h g airt has s t h materially foreign i m a n p d r o v c e o d . the Poor-law system of Ireland—and, by a memor able enactment, has singularly facilitated the sale of the encumbered estates in the sister island. It has relaxed . the otringency o f or inadequatelp:— the entail system lin in Scotland. It - adventure d —however (1 slowly it has adventured upon the begin ning of some rea l sanitary improvements. IL has . countenanced, mor eover , th e enormo us efforts made b y uord BROUGHAM and others with a view to a thorough Legal Reformation. As to its efforts in the cause of education, we cannot but think that they are so infinitesimal in their character as to be abso lutely worthless for any good they may be expected to produce. Partial efforts in reference to colo nial and financial reforms have only so far benefited the country, that they have awakened the knowledge of the community to the necessity of some , speedy and comprehensive innovations. In this tespect, as preliminary to the House of Com mons about to be elected early in the lautumn of 1852, the Parliament of 1847 cannot but be regarded as one, the labours of which are a veritable source of satisfaction. Therefore it is that we have witnessed its final pro rogation, and await its immediate dissolution, not without some kind of grateful appre ciation—but with a sense of pleasure which bids us loot: forward w ith no feeble degree of interest to the nomination and selection of the new representatives. Lard BROUGHAM'S recommendation that a Royal Commission should forthwith issue for the purpose of ieqeiring into the practice and jurisdiction of the county courts is, like every other suggestion on matters of legal reform emanating from the same quarter, eminently worthy of consideration. It is now certain that loess; tribunals cannot be dis peesed with, that whatev.l. improvements may he effected in the superior courts, still justice must be administered in every important locality, so that debts may be recovered without unneces sary delay or expense. There cannot now be a retrograde movement. Measures that would formerly have been received with gratitude, and have completely satisfied the expectations of the people, would not for a moment be considered as eligible substitutes for the enactments which, although defective in many important particulars, still " brought justice home" to every man's threshold. The great object then must be to render these tri bunals as efficient as possible and to make available to the greatest extent practicable the services of the several judges, whose attention will no longer be dis tracted by private business, and the necessity of de voting the greater portion of their time to attendance in Westminster Hall, far from the district in which the tribunals over which they preside are situate. There can be no possible reason now why the seve ral judges should not become residents within their respective jurisdictions, and, like the Irish assistant barristers, ex-officio magistrates of th counties. Their assistance at quarter-sessions would be exceedingly valuable. There would he the cer tainty that one or more competent persons would "take part in every trial, and the jurisdiction under such circumstances might be materially extended, by which means considerable savings would be effected in local taxation, and greater security against illegal or improper convictions. The fee system should also be abolished. There is a general feeling abroad that justice should be gratuitously adminstered, that every per son w h o has been injured in person or property should be entitled to redress, without being mulcted in heavy fees to a number of different officials. It would seem exceedingly strange if any English sub ject, who had been grossly maltreated by the agents of some foreign power, could not have his case taken into consideration, or explanations afforded, without handing over considerable sums to the housekeepers, doorkeepers, and other functionaries at Downing street, together with a gratuity to the " coachman " of the Foreign Secretary ; and that all his memorials and applications should be stamped before they are laid before the officials. It would alqu'ar a n eXtra°r dinary mode of affording " protection" to our citi z ens to compel themto pay for it so h e a v ily, as to defray a considerabl e r t i o n of t the expensesand yetof the th e diplomatic and consular):establishments, fee system in our courts of justice is scarcely more anomalous. No suitor can seek relief without paying heavy stamp duty, or other fees, and, if his case should come to trial, fees to court keepers, ushers, criers, &c., and if in the Exchequer, to the Lord Chief Baron's coachman. It •wa s the number and m agnitude of these stamps, fees, and other charges, that fi rs t occa sioned the demand for cheap justice. But the evil was continued in the remedial enactments. The Legislature fell into the grave mistake of endeavour- 1 ing to make the local establishments self-supporting, forgetting that the entire fee system had b een so loudly and generally complained of, and that the tendency of modern legislation was to substitute salaries for fees in every instance, and that the country bad no right to look for any payment what soever, more especially to realise a profit, on the administr ation of j ustice, either civill y o r criminally. Lor d BROUGHAM truly declare d " that the Government was bound to afford protection on this point to the subject in return for his alle giance." We may add, in return for the surrender of a certain portion of his national liberty and his contribution to the liquidation of the national liabi lities, and to the maintenance cf the national es tablishments. There is another point in relation to these tri bunals that should also be strictly scrutinized. The relAtion of the local courts to the Court for the Relief of Insolvent Debtors is in by no means a satisfactory , condition. Several judges arrogate to themselves the right of completely ignoring the pro , ceedings of another court o f concurrent, jurisdiction. Under the rules of practice . as settled by the LORD CLIM' 13AuoN, and Judges 1 CRESSWELL, WIGHTMAN, ERLE, and WILLIAMS, un der the provisions of the Act, it is provided (Reg.l9) in what manner the debtor may avail himself of a discharge under any Act for the relief of insolvent debtors, and yet (after judgment) several judges habitually disregard the plea. In a recent instance, a party had been discharged after a strict and searching investigation into his conduct. Among the opposing creditors was one who had obtained a judgment in a county court. His complaints were heard, and deemed not sufficient to warrant the further incarceration of the debtor. Not satisfied, however, with the result he issued a judgment summons, and although the adjudication of the Judge of the Insolvent Court was proved, and also the fact of the attendance of the plaintiff at the hearing, an order of commitment for, we believe, forty days was made, the Judge thus assuming a power not belonging to any of the Judges of the superior Courts. It has also recently been held, that although there may be a rehearing after the adjudication of any of the Learned Commis sioners, whose entire time:has been devoted to acquiring a thorough knowledge of the insolvent code, there can be no appeal from, or rehearing of one, by a county -court judge , however palp a bly erro neous his decision may be. Th ese other matters require speedy and amendment, and in no mode is the desideratu m more lik e l y to be effected than in that suggested by L o rd BaouGnim— the immediate issuing of a Royal Commission similar to that of last year on the subject of Chancery Reform. SPORTING NOTES. No. CCLVI. REMARKS ON THE RACING AT CARLISLE AND CHELMSFORD. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—A curious misstatement crept yesterday into my remarks on Chid Justice's running for the Free Handi cap, at Carlisle ; somehow or other the words "fast grey colt Puritan" were, by some extraordinary means, transmuted into " fast filly Lady Agnes." The error must h ave b ean palpable, however, to all racing men, as the Return Lists only gave four starters, and Lady Agnes's name did not figure amongst them. Dawson yesterday brought his much-talked-of Red Lion out, for the first time, to win the Cumberland Plate, which he did very cleverly, from Lindrick and several others. He is spoilt for the Ebor Handicap, by the town talk having caused him to be weighed at sst 121 b, a very heavy appreciation of his merits in my opinion. Re will probably be struck out for that race. His chance at Goodwood is not altogether bad, but at the weight I should prefer Hou !akin. The Hylands Stakes at Chelmsford decided the merits of Pug Orroek; for, atter one of the prettiest races of the season, Vaultress, carrying Bst Nib, just managed to defeat Pug Orroek and Defiance, which last two carried Bst 71b each, and ran a dead heat for second place by a head; that head, in my opinion, being Alfred Day's more than the filly's. It is very evident that through Vaultress having been prepared so early in the season she is already beginning to grow stale, and probably will get'worse and worse every race she runs, spuiiing likewise her chance of doing anything good next season. In the olden times two years old racing commenced with the Newmarket July Meeting, ins!eed of in March, as is now the case. In this particular I think the Turfites of the past generation had the start of us in wisdom, for no praczical racing man can deny that it must damage the future chances of a race-horse by being brought out at two years old so early as March. I did intend publishing my comments on the July Meeting to-day, but for very potent reasons I am ob liged to defer the same until to-morrow.--I am, Szc. July 1, 1852. THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

In comparing the facts of the previous week with those of last there appe a r s an increase in the total mortality of epidemics from 196 to 215, caused by scarlatina, typhus and other fever, which have appa rently become more prevalent. The fatal cases re ferred to scarlatina last week were 58, th ose of typhus 47. Intermittent fever carried off one person, remittent fever 2, rheumatic fever 2, erysipelas 4 ) in fluenza 2, diarrheas and dysentery 18, small-pox 24. Three children and an adult died of syphilis. Five women sunk under puerperal fever, besides five others to whom other diseases incidental to childbearing were fatal. _ Two deaths from cholera occurred on the same day, the 20th June, and were regist ere d as f o ll ows : At 1, Pelham-street, Mile-end New Town, the daughter of a bricklayer, aged 4 months, died of " cholera (2 days)." At 116, Wentworth-street, Whitechapel North, the daughter of a fur-dyer, aged 5 years, died of " Eng lish cholera (48 hours)." Of 9 deaths ascribed to the organs of locomotion in the present return 1 was caused by arthritis, 5 by rheumatism, and 3 by undefined diseases of the joints. Of the 24 lives destroyed by small-pox last week 20 were those of children, 4 those of adults. It is reported in three cases that the sufferers had been previously vaccinated, and the ages of these were 7, 21, years. At 222, liigh-street, Shadwell, on 23d June, the daughter of a beer-shop keeper, aged one year and 6 months, died of " small-pox and 28 vac cinated, medical attendant." Mr. ' Ross, the not Registrar, adds, " I regret to state that this loath some disease still continues very rife in my district." At 18, Bethnal-green.road, on 25th June, the son of a ' weaver, aged 7 years, died of " confluent small-pox (16 days), successf ully vaccin a t e d ; two other children li v in g Mr. Bri ggs s tates that " he had b e en with the above were also vaccinated, and have not been affected." At the Homceopathic Hospital, 32, Golden -square, on the 13th June, a female servant, aged 2 1, died of " variola confluent (7 w eeks), laryngitis and larnygeal abscess (7 days)." Post the mort. Th e medical attendant remark thats ` de ceased was sent from Ground-street, Lambeth , she she had b een v accinated ; there was a good .. cicatrix ; had recovered from small-pox, but exposing herself to the cold air, laryngitis ensued.". Mr. Long, the itegistrar of the South sub-district of Chelsea, registered 14 births but no deaths during the week. He draws attention to the unusually healthy state of the sub-district, in which, thou g h i t numbers upwards of twenty thousand inhabitant!4, he has not been called to register a single depth, not withstanding many parts of it are densely crorded b very poor persons, who live in localities without tho roughf.:re, and where the drainage and ventilation are bad. Nine children were registered, who at various previous dat4s had been suffoc4ted in bed. Mr. Simpson, Ite.giste.r of the North sub-district of St. registered four deaths that had occurred in this manner at the respective ages of 3 weeks, 2 months, 4 months, and 9 months, on Ist, 21, stb, and Bth of 2,lay. He refers to the fact that inquests were held on the same day on three out of the tour cases. On the 221 June, at St. Bartholo mew's Hospital, a copper filer and turner, aged 18 years, died of "carbuncular icflonnaation of the upper lip." A widow, aged 73 years, died of " inflamma tion of the right arm from the prick of a pin." At 11, Globe-road, Bethnal-green, the widow of a mast maker, is reported to have died on 18th June at the great age of 100 years and 2 months. Five persons were registered as the victims of intemperance, be sides two others whose deaths were indirectly caused by the same vicious habit. STATE OF THE WEATHER DURING TILE PAST WEEK.

On the eve of our going to press, we have received in formation of a fearful crime which Naas perpetrated yes terday (Tuesday), et a lone cottage in the neighbour hood of Sawley. The particulars which we have at present been able to obtain are necessarily very meagre; but, from what we can gather, the following is something like en outline of the facts It appears that an elderly coeple, of the name of Waters or Wailers, lived in a solitary cottage upon Mr. Thompson's farm, in the lane between Sawley and Wilne, and about midway from either place. The husband, a labourer, eves employed in hoeing turnips on the farm, and his wife —a woman of about 60 years of age—bad been, in the morning, to Dreycott, shopping. See must, on her return, have found the culprit in the cottage, for the flour and other articles which she had been purcha , ,ieg were found on the door-step outside; and the supposition is that she had found the mur derer in the act of plundering the house, aed that he must immediately have commenced the attack upon her. &me boys were in the neighbourhood at the time, and one of them, about 14 or 15 years old, hear ing a noise, went to the cottage, where he saw a strange man beating the poor old woman with a hatchet or some other heavy weapon. The man caught sight of him, and said he would stick him; and the boy imme diately ran off to Wilne Mills to give an alarm. A num ber of people immediately hastened from thence, and on their arrival they found the windows and furniture of the house had been smashed, and the strange man was still inside. A woman had also seen him beating the poor creature, and had gone away alarmed ; and another boy, who had t urne d b ac k f rom h is associate, had seen him carry the body across the yard. He had, however, found time to bury the body in a dung-heap, but a portion of one leg remained un covered, which led to its discovery. The murderer had placed en inverted trough over his head. He resisted for some time all ingress into the cottage; but a boy threw a stone through one of the window-panes which had been broken, and hit him over the eye, causing a severe wound and knocking him down. He was at once seized and placed in safe custody. The body of the murdered female was quite cold when found. She appeared to have been dreadfully beaten about the head and face. The murderer is au entire stranger to the neighbourhood, and he refuses to give his name, though he says he comes from Suffolk. He appears to inches high. about 25 y ears o ld , and five feet seven or eight high. He h a d no coat, wa i stcoat, shoes, or stockings, but he wore a checked shirt and trousers. The dread ful occurrence seems to have taken place about half-past one o'clock in the afternoon. A hatchet was afterwards found in the yard. The floor of the house was co vered with blood, and some human hair was found on the wall. He refused to say anything about the crime, but appeared to the bystanders either drunk or insane. We understand that Mr. Whiston, coroner for the dis trict, received information of the offence in the evening, and that he at once proceeded to Sawley. A CORSICAN HUSBAND. An arrival from Corsica (everybody is arriving thence just now, for that little island has become quite the feshion) has filled the salons of Paris with a fresh interest ; the more so as it is understood that this coming man is anything but welcome in high quarters. A few years ago Count was in possession of the three things most dear to the heart of man in every clime under the sun, namely, great consideration, a magnificent estate, and a lovely wife. Of all these the estate alone re mains ; and it is evidently to re-acquire the other two that he has made the journey to Paris, in search of the prefecture in Corsica. Th e s t ory is so peculiarly Corsican soil, that it is really worth relating. The Count married in 1846, not only one of the richest heiresses, but, moreover, the greatest beauty in the For two years the "happy couple" seemed to live in the enjoyment of every species of bliss which matrimony never fails to promise its victims before surrender. The Count was all ten derness and attention, the Countess all devotion and confidence. Nothing occurred to mar their happi ness save now and then some slight difference of opinion, which would arise, always upon trifling subjects though, between the Count and his younger hbirsotqhuearr, quarters s n aotffitcheer Chateauof dragoons, d , who had taken up during his six months .1 , ave of absence from his regiment. This s C o u t e e t e d s w , t sight tende cc y t o d isagreement was, however, always h lti%s t o mthe harmony of th e m e nage coulduch g race and tend erness b y t h e scarcely he said to be disturbed by these accidental false notes, and ever 3 thing w en t on es smoothly as ever after the departure of the young dragoon had left the husband and wire to their solitude once more. Shortly, however, a motive of anxiety manifested itself in the declining health of the young wife. Without ap parent cause her eyes grew cam, her cheek grew pale, her hand shook as though she had been struck with palsy, and a short dry cough filled the anxious husband with alarm. His atten tion, however, redoubled ; he never left the patient's side, and when at length, after every trial had been made to restore her to health, she found herself laid on a sick bed, the Count stirred not from her pillow, administering every potion with his own hand, and by soothing discourse and kind words exerting himself to smooth the dark passage to the next world, which the doctor said must, in spite of all the efforts of skill, be made ere long. The dreaded moment at length arrived, the priest had performed tile last kind offices for the peace departing soul, and then the lovely young Countess begged to speak with her husband alone. He approached the bedside, overcome with grief. She had wished to thank him before she left him for ever for all his kindness and unfailing confidence in her, and to confess with the deepest regret and humiliation that she had been, not withstanding all his indulgent love, the most de praved, the most miserable of sinners. " Oh, forgive me," exclaimed she ; "I have been unfaithful to my vows. I have loved another. I have deserved this early death." She looked in his face and awaited his answer : it rang in her failing ear, accompanied her spirit in its flight. " I thought so, love. I was sure it was the case, and angel of my soul, that i s j us t w h y I have poisoned you!', The nurse, who had been listening without, hurried at once to the authorities and gave her depo sition. The Count was immediately arrested. He remained for more than a year in prison, but the cause was never brought to trial owing to the power ful interest of the great families of the island, to every one of whom he is in some way related. The only punishment he has received for his crime is the expul sion from all society wherein the "new notions," as they are called in Corsica, and the civilized principle have adopted. It is to regain this disposition that he now condescends to sue for a place. t r i e l c e e p ui t t i l: p - o p s l e a placed a t the ---______ INFANT SCHOOL S OF CHRIST CHURCH, MARY."

HER MAJESTY'S SPEECH, mg ).-- MY LORDs AND GENTLE bIEN, I am induced by con a iderations of public policy to release you at an earlier period than usual from your legislative duties. The zeal and diligence, however, with which you have applied yourselves to your Parliamentary labours, have enabled )33 e, in this comparatively short Session, to give ray assent to many measures of high importance, and, I trust, of great and perma nent advantage I receive from all :Foreign Powers assurances that they are animated by• the most friendly disposi tions towards this counts.: f ; and I entertain a confi dent hope that the ami. :able relations happily sub sisting between the prin , aipal European States may be so firmly established a s, under Divine Providence, , to secure to the world a I avg continuance of the bles sings of Peace. To this great end my attention will be unremittingly directed... I rejoice that the final settlement of the affairs of Holstein and Schleswig, by the general concur rence of the Powers chicly interested, has removed one cause of recent differ€ nce and of future anxiety. The amicable termination of the discussions which have taken place between the Sublime Porte and the Pacha of Eg3 rpt afford a guarantee for the tranquillity of the Ea at, and an encouragement to the extension of commerc enterprise. The refusal on the lts.rt of the King of Ave, of redress, justly demanded for insults and injuries offered to my subjects at Rangoon, has necessarily led to an interruption of frie]adly relations with that So gThe promptitue and vigour w ith w hi ch Governor- General of India has taken the mea vtsheuer in r e as d thus rendered unavoidable, have merited m y entire approbation and I am confident that you will participate in the satisfaction with which I have observed the conduct of the naval and military forces, European and Indian, by whose valour and discipline the important captures of Rangoon and Martaban have been accomplished ; and in the hope which 1 entertain that these signal successes may lead to an a any :and honourable peace. Treaties have been concluded by my naval com manders with the King of Dahomey and all the African chiefs whose rule extends along the Bight of Benin, for the total abolition of the Slave Trade, which is at present wholly suppressed upon that coast. I have had great satisfaction in giving my assent to the measure which you have wisely adopted for the better organisation of the Militia ; a constitutional force, which being limited to purposes of internal de fence, can afford no just ground of jealousy to neighbouring Powers ; but which, in the event of any sudden and unforeseen disturbance of my foreign relations, would at all times contribute essentially to the protection and security of my dominions. GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF COMMONS, I thank you for the liberal provision which you have made for the exigencies of the public service. The expenditure which you have authorised shall be applied with a due regard to economy and efficiency. The recent discoveries of extensive gold-fields have produced, in the Austrian Colonies, a temporary disturbance of society, requiring prompt atten tion. I have taken such steps as appeared to me most urgently necessary for the mitigation of this 3eriuus evil. I shall continue anxiously to watch th e important results which must follow from these dis coveries. I have willingly concurred with you in an Act, which, by rendering available to the service of those Colonies the portion arising within them, of the Hereditary Revenue placed at the disposal of Par liament on ray accession to the Throne, may enable them to meet their necessarily increased expenditure. Mr LADS AND GENTLEMEN, I have gladly assented to the important Bills which you have passed for effecting reforms, long and anxiously desired in the practice and proceedings of the Superior Courts of Law and Equity, and generally for improving the administration of justice. Every measure which simplifies the forms, and dimi nishes the delay and expense of legal proceedings, with out introducing uncertainty of decision, impairing the authority of the Courts, or lowering the high standard of the Judicial Bench, is a valuable boon conferred upon the community at large. I hope that the measures which you have adopted for promoting extramural interment of the dead, and for improving the supply of water, may be f o und effectual for the remedy of evils the ex istence of whi ch has lon g been a re p rcach to this and may conduce to the health nof popular rights and legislative inhabitants. a g n r e d a comfort To mhmefeoterrxto extension o nf s it 03 , powers to m y subjects resident in the colonies, is always to me a n object of deep interest; and I trust that the representative institutions which, in concer t with you, I have sanctioned for New Zealand, may pro mote the welfare and contentment of the population of that distant but most in teresting colony, and confirm their loyalty and attachlllmA t. my Crown. It is my intention , without dela y , to dissolve this pre sen t Parliament , an d it is my earnest prayer, that in the e xercise of the hi g h func tions which according to our free Constitution will devolve upon the several constituencies, they may b e di re cted by an all - wise Providence to the selecti on o f representative s, whose w isdom and patriotism may aid me in my unceasing endeavours to sustain the honour and dignity of my Crown, to uphold th e P ro t es tant institutions of t he c ou n try , and the ci v il an d religious liberty , w hi c h is their natural result ; to extend a nd im p rove the National Education ; to develops and encourage Industry, Art, and Scie nce; an d to elevate the moral and social condition, a n d th ere by pro mote the welfare and hap pinesof my people.

The House of Commons has sat during that period on eighty days, their sittings occupying in all 580 hours, or an average of - 71,1 hours each. The number of hours sat past midnight vias,,sl4. The Lords during the same period have sat on only " days, and their sittings oc cupied 157 hours, being an average of 2 1 4 hours each. There have been during the session 121 divisions in the Commons, anf.l five in the Lords. The phenomenon known in Parlia mentary language as a " nu house" has occurred but once_ on the 18th of May. The "counts out" have been four in number, two of the occasions for which were afforded by Mr. Chisholm Anstey, the Member for Youghal. They were as follows :—April 6th, when the House was in Com mittee upon the Suitors in Chancery Relief Bill (to which the royal assent was y es t e rday given); April 26th, of pure exhaustion, at half-past one in the morning; April 27th, on a motion of Mr. Anstey's re l at ive to Colonel Outram ; and again, June 15th, on a motion by the same Hon.

TILE .POLISII REFUGEE LEOPOLD DE ROSE. The following correspondence, which has taken place bet ween two of the Justices of the Peace for the county c,f Hants, and Lord Dudley Stuart, respecting the PoF, , sh refugee Leopold de Rose, was read in tho House of Commons yesterday by the Noble Lord : From, one of the Justices of the Peace for the county of Hants : "June 2, 1852. "My Lord,—l had a visit yesterday from Lieutenant Chas. Szalezewski and Mr. Do Rose. The former came to make inquiries of me respecting Mr. De R ose ' s im prisonment for begging, &c. I can only say I consider he lia,s beon shamefully used by Captain Hamilton, who resided at Anglesey, near Gos port, and who is now appointed to a ship at Wool wich. My brother magistrate, Dr. Hillyer, could do no more th,:m imprison Mr. De Rose, as Captain Hamilton swore, ghat be wandered abroad to bog and gather alms contrary to the form of the Statute in such case made, &c., &e. Now it does appear to Y‘ne to be a very extra ordinary thing that Mr. Do Rose, should beg - of Captain Hamilton, when I well know that Mr. De Rose could get Si. or 101. whenever he liked to ask for it, by writ ing to a neighbour of mine, one of the first families in the county, but he has never done so. Moreover the policeman took Mr. De Rose into custody, without a warrant and without seeing him ask alms. " I am, my Lord, " Your obedient servant. " To Lord Dudley Stuart, M.P."

And I can assure your Lordship that I have heard with great delight the testimony which each of those ladies and gentlemen gave to the character and deportment of Mr. Leopold De Rose, who, although reduced to the necessity of offering his articles for sale, always did so with the marked conduct of a highly honourable man and a gentleman. He was immediately recognised by each, was most pleasantly received by all, and deeply sympathised with for the manner in which he had been treated, which, as some did not hesitate to state, was " a diFgrace to the country." offered him two shilli ngs f or an art i c l e o f o ne s hilli ng va l u e, which ho m os t h onourably decl i ne d to t a k e .

A petite comedic, in one act, entitled A Novel Expe dient, was brought out last night with unequivocal suc cess. Three persons only are involved in the action. The principal of these is Mrs. Charles Moore (Mrs. Stirling), who is greatly annoyed by the addition to her mknage of an intimate frieud of her husband, nam'd Damon (ttlr. Leigh Murray). This intruder criticises her drawings, gives his opiiiion es to tho paper which should decorate the drawing.reorn, and, what is more than all, constantly takes out her husband on fishing expeditions. She hints to Charles (Mr. Howe) that Demon's dcoartnre would be acceptable, but finds him inexorable on the point. She, there. fore, resolves to employ some new device, and is furnished with a hint in a letter from an absent aunt, who always rishes to uphold the domestic supremacy of woman. The good aunt counsels her, by reference to an episode in Lesage, to declare to Damon that she is secretly enamoured of him, and that there- fore he is bound, as a man of honour, to quit the house. Damon at first falls into the trap, and is actually going, when he picks up the aunt's letter by accident, and per ceiving the real state of the case alarms Mrs. Moore by feigning a reciprocal passion. A little unpleasant alter cation with the husband ensues, but an explanation clears up all difficulties, and Mrs. Moore, cured of her love of domination, resolves not to disturb her husband's friendship for Damon. The piece is elegant and well written, and, excellently played as it is by Mrs. Stirling, Mr. Leigh Murray, and Mr. Howe, produces an agree able effect. POOR HOOD ! WRITTEN AT EENSAL-GREEN CEMETERY. (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) What gorgeous cenotaphs arise, Of Perim shrine and granite vault, Whose blazoned claims on purer skies Shut out all earthly flaw and fault. Who lies below yon splendid tomb That stretches out so broad and tall? The worms will surely ne'er exhume A Dieser locked within such walL And see, that other stately pile Of chiselled glory, staring out; Come, Sexton, leave your work awhile, And tell us what we ask about. Sol one belongs to him who held A score of trained and tortured steeds; Great Circus Hero, unexcelled ) On what strange stuff Ambition feeds.

And see that tam b beneath yon tree!— But, Sexton, tints where to find The grave of him we came to see ; -- li it not here, or are we blind? We mean poor Hood, the man who made That song about the " Bridge of Sighs ;" You know the song / well, leave your spade, And please to show us where he lies. What, there without a single mark, Without a stone, without a line, — Does watchfire Genius leave no spark To note its ashes as divine ? Must strangers come to woo his shade, Scanning rare marbles as they pass ; And, when th e y pause where he is laid, Stop at a trodden mound of grass ? And is it thus ? well, we suppose England is far too poor to spare A slab of white, where truth might write The title of her Poet-Heir. Let us build pillars strong and high, On which the sculptured form is set ; And when our growing sons ask why, Name Royal Duke and Royal Debt. Let us raise statues far and near, Amid our busiest high ways, Colossal yonder—life-like here— Where all the world may pass and praise. And when Posterity asks who We bore so far from Lethe's flood, Let Record couple Waterloo With one whom Fame baptized in blood. Let us adorn our city walks With idiot king and senate chief, — Carve toga-folds and laurel stalks, — There's something grand in robe and leaf. But Hood—" poor Hood !"—the poet fool Who sung of Woman's woes and wrongs, Who taught his Master's Golden Rule,-- Give him no statue for his songs. Give him the dust beneath his head, Give him a grave—a grave alone; In Life he dearly won his bread,-- In Reath—he is not worth a stone!
