--- Present was not the first occasion on which those walls had witnessed the miscarriages of Justice. There remained, unhappily for our f4frie, in teribed in the page of hi:;tory, the record of fritticiiiins Wlticli had taken place in that great hall, which :vas as sociated with the dark tied :iliac) the more gloduns ePoe.lis of this country. Here had occurred things over which the historian would ha ve g ladl y dram' an inpenotrable veil, were it not that they were beacons of the errors of the past. and warnings for c ur future guidance. The day, thauk God, bad reas>.ed When human life was sacrificed at the shrine of bigotry and Passion, but now innocence might rest safe under the Protection of the judges of ttie land. Still be could not hdprehletrlberbg that juries and judges had somJirees committed judicial murders on the score of religious Thi* was a trifling caso compared with those to which he referred; but still that feeling which had formerly deadened men's consciences to the higher mo tives end influences which should have guided tbom, tight creep insidiously into the minds of the jury in this min ,r matter, and iudue9 them to close the.r cars ltaiinst the voice of truth, and irsson, and justice. In tOnclusion, he besowtht them to brink; to the Oisch ,, rgo of this sucred duty eeelmandnispassinnatejudgmerit, firmly bedevinie that it ih , y did so neither toe parties nor the Public who were interested in the result would have rea son to complain.—(Applause.) L >rd CAMPBELL obsrved that the Learned Coups( 1 engaged in th, defence had conducted it with great abi lity and propriety, but he wished to offer a suggestion to them in order to promote the ends of justice, viz, that as the charges anew d in the pleas amounted to twenty three in number, they should be left severally to the Jury, who should state whether they believed they had or had not been proved. Sir A. E. COCKBURN said he thought that would be the better course to adopt. Tho ATTORNEY-GENERAL intimated his assent to the Pionnsal of the Learned Judge. The Court then adjourned for a quarter of en hour. On the return of the Learned Jurge and the jury, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL rose toaddress . the jury on behalf of Dr. Achilli, in reply to evidence given in sup port of the pleas. He was proceeding with his address when our re port left. SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before J. BURCHELL, Esq., Under-Sheriff.) AVERY V. CHARD AND OTHERS, EXECUTORS, &C. The plaintiff in this action is an army clothier at Charing-cross, and the defendants are executors of the late Sir William Winniett, Knt. The action was brought to recover the sum of 761. 17s. 61 for goods supplied, The defendants suffered judgment to go by default, and a verdict was given for the amount claimed. PHILLIPS V. SHEAN. This was an action to recover 731. for necessaries sup- Plied to plaintiff's wife, and for money lent. Defendant suffered judgment to go by default. The plaintiff was called to prove that he had known defendant for about two years, and had lent him altoge ther about 1501, and there was a balance due of 231. on that account. Defendant left his wife and family desti tute, and plaintiff from time to time advanced money to and paid for the lodgings of defendant's wife. There b -Aug no defence, a verdict was entered for the amount claimed. IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT, (THIS DAY.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Colonel DUNNE presented a similar petition from Portarlinee on. METROPOLITAN BURIALS BILL. Oa the motion of Lord JOHN MANNERS, the Bill was recommitted, for the purpose of introducing some new clauaea and amendments. VALUATION (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a third time, and passed. WOODS, FORESTS, AND. LAND REVENUES BILL This Bill was read a third time, and passed. EXCISE SUMMARY PROCEEDINGS BILL. This Bill was read a t hird time and passed.

This Bill was considered and agreed to, and ordered to be read a third time to morrow. METROPOLITAN BURIALS BILL. On the motion for going into Committee on the com pensation clauses of this Bill, Lord EBRINGTON demanded that the Bill should be extended to the provinces,,so far as the compensation clauses were concerned. Lord J. MANNERS was not prepared to accede to that proposal. Mr. MACKINNON o b j ected togiving compensation to the proprietors of g rave y ards whose ground was overl o aded with dead bodies; taut p if they g ave comel'. eitiou to the metropolis why should they not also give it to the provinces? Lord JOHN M &NNERS raid compensation would not be given in cases where the g rave y ards were so overcrowded that they could not be used any more. Mr. HUME could not recognise the principle of call ing u pon Scotland an d the p rovinces to p a y for the com fort and convenience of the metropolis. He should, therefore, Rega ti v o the proposal for going into Committee. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE also objected to the compensa tion c l a uses, and gave it as his opinion that it was the duty of Parliament to fix a day upon which all grave yards in the metropolis should be closed. The House was throwing too much res H ponsibi Gen lity upon the Secrnote tary of State. Th e Right on. tle would Only have to decide what burial grounds should be closed, but w ho should receive compensation, and the cense.. quence would be that the Ho me-o d ffice wohuelHon d be besieged by the proprietors of grave-yas like t. Bon the M e mber for Essex, who was the ground landland of the Bethnal -green burial-ground. Sir W. MOLESWORTH, who was the originator of the clause, observed that every precaution was taken to prevent parties obtaining compensation who were not entitled to it. Mr. HAMILTON confessed that he saw a consider able difficulty in charging the Consolidated Fund with this compensstion. Mr. CARDWELL said this was not the proper time for deciding such a question as the present, and insisted that it ought to be postponed until the Chancellor of the Exchequer was in his place. Sir J. TYRELL was not there to uphold any abuse, but the House should remember that he had no control ove r the Bethnal green burial g round, and could not preve nt the land being used for the purpose of a grave yard. When, however, the lease of the la scatend fell wit in he s hould object to his property being confidwithout compensation. The National Gallery and a portion of Somerset house were built upon grave-yars, and why should not he have the same right of building on his land. He admitted that the Bethnuinal - green burial gr ound had been considered a public lance. Mr. T. DIJNCOMBE—And yet we are not to put it down without graining compensation. Mr. Secretary wALPOLE felt bound t o o ppose the clause on the part of the Government. He understood that his Right Hon. Friend the Chancellor of the Ex chequer was of opinion that the clause would be detri mental to the public interest, and therefore the difficulty which the Hon. Barone!, the . Member for S out h war k referred to must be go t rid of in some other way. After some conversation a division was called, but th e re being no teller for the ‘.' Ayes," the motion for g ling into Committee was negatived without a division. Sir WM. hIOLESWORTH said the consent o to f the be Crown had been given to his c l a use, and it ought agreed to ne SPEAKER sa id the Queen's consent only ena bled the House to proceed to the consideration of the elsuse, bat it did not take away the power of the House to neptiva the clause if the Houie so thought fit. ENFRANCHISEMENT OE' COPYROLDS BILL. The Lord,' amendments to this Bill were considered and agreed to. ANIEERS OF SINDE. On tho motion for resuming; the adjourned debate on Siade Mr. BALLIE said the Government of India had all T E SIA N, ready taken into consideration this subject, and had taken steps for r,:ndering the position of the Ameers ot-Shcle as atrrt.calik as poe.sible. As for back as 1841 the Go verr;M'ent of India took into !heir serious consideration all the matters %%Meth the Noble Lord who had intro duced this quto;tioa hod broui:ht unckr the notice of tiP, House, and a resolution was come to that ev:•ry z.:51- s i s tf:rice should be affj.ded to these unfortunate Princes', until the whole of the matter in di-put: cou`l . be cloored Tee Noble Lord represented the Art,rs s m06e14 of v irus and honesty, tint he lied heard a very clitY,rrnt ac count of them. However he should be sorry to pro nounce any option upon that point. He did not,. objTet to the terms of the motion, but what he did Lad fault with s,vas, that the Noble Lord should have nkyd up a matter of state policy v: `rich was supposed to have been settled t,s far 134ek us 1844. There would be no objection to produce the fo.pers, but as their production would ro of), n a settled que,tion, he could not help expressing his conviction that it wo,uld be injudicious to do sr.), After a lee words from Col - onel ESICOEIVr, Tvir. repealcd th-A there would be no oh to produce the papers, but in the abscnc) of the Lob :o Lou! who made this motion, it was not., mceis:;.ry for hires to trouble the Raise withany 1f ,, ngtb6 .13 " 1 oh' servations to bhow that, it would be injudicious to cell f or them. The two 7-'P , r ' t rS c %v rin hleh g. tho Noble asked for would forthcoming. Mr. HUME sciti, in referertc, , to the Aracers of Sit de, the itopri scion vvitich prevailed in 1843 that the 13riti,11 Goverrim , :nt had bLen made the victim of an artful tr,rud, had berm cot;firrtvd by subr,apient inquiries, end it vitv, there ore, the duty of the 14-gislaturo to do tardy justice to these in j PrinCYs. The papers now celled for would give but an inadequate history of the whole oc currences in liinde, and he hoped, on a future ccca,,ion, the House and the country ~o uferl be put in possession of ail the facts of the case. Years had rolled by since tae irjustice was perpetrated, but it was nevrr too late to 'nuke amends for the wrong which had been done, and he was"rrjoiced to hear that there was now a prospect of the Am'ers of made obtaining some substantial redress far their sufferings. Much dectptiou had been practised noon Parliament in reference to this case, and he trusted that, for the sake of justice and humanity, the Govern ment would now produce all the papers in full, and thus give the country an opportunity of considering the whale matter. The motion was then agreed to. FOREIGN POSTAGE. Mr. JACOB BELL wished to inquire of her Ma jesty's Government as to the further progress of the negotiations for the reduction of the postage of letters betwte.n France and England; also whether it is in contemplation to (fleet a general reduction of foreign postage ? Mr. HAMILTON said negotiations were still pendinr , upon this important subject both with France and the United States, and it was hoped that they would be brought to a satisfactory termination. The House then adjourned at a Quarter to Two o'clock. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris papers of yesterday. Althoug'n an animated discussion is described to 'have t alio-I,piece yesterday in the Corps Legislatif on the budget, there is not even an allusion to the sub ject in any of the morning papers. The Illoniteur iii. poses of the thing in a few lines, for until the minutes be adopted by the House there can be no publication of the debate, and then only in the shape authorised by the President of the Assembly. Galignani con trive:, however, to give the following lively sketch of the proceedings : " The discussion on the Budget of Expenees was c. 410- peenc:.d yesterday (Tuesday) at one o'clock before the Legislative Rudy, M. ittbault being in the chair. The President of the Repubits was present on the o ccas i on , having conic to the Cnamher in a state-carriage, followed by two others containing his suite. Lie entered by the Large iron-gate in front of the bridge, which had been tetfere passed through only by the &Teter Napoleon. The Prince, who w, s in plain clothes; end cecompanit d by M. Duces, the Minister of Ma rine, took his place in a private tribune to wards the right side of the House. The pro cet dings commenced by a speech from H. de Kerdrel. lie expressed his surprise at seeing on the bench appropriated to the Government Conamissioec rs, whose cluv it was to defend the various credits proposed, men who bad formerly been most forward in proposing reductions. He quoted the opinions of M. the President of the Legislative B idy, and of M. btourin, ono of the Government Commissioners, to that dire, and read passages from a work written in; Prince Louis Napoleon, which insisted on the necessity of redactions in the army. The Hon. Gentleman then proceeded to argue that the vote of the House could not, as matters were now arranged, be either an enlightened or a free one. Ha complained that the amend ments of the Deputies, when once rejected by the Conceit of State, could not be voted, or even explained by their authors before the Rouse, a pro ceeding which was at variance with both the dignity and independence of that body. He quoted a passage from the Constitutionnel, which declared that the inter vention of the Council of State in the labours of the Committee on the budget rendered all discussion ilia ' sory, and that the Councillors of State were in fact the dispensers of the public fortune. At least, the Hon. Gentleman remarked, they ought in such a case to be appointed for lite. The Honourable Gentleman con cluded by declaring that a change ought to be effected in the present mode of examining and discussing the budget.—M. Billault remarked that the Honourable Gentleman bad, in reality, spoken more of what the Constitution had fixed, than on the budget itself. 'I did not, however, think it necessary to stop him,' added the Honourable Gentle man, although I could and ought to have done so.' This declaration did not appear to be favourably received by the House.—M. Devinck then spoke at some length, entering into minute financial developments con nected with the budget. He declared that he approved fully of the conversion of the Five per Cents. , and;blamed the Republic of 1848, and even the Government of Louis Philippe, for having added so much to the floating debt. The lion. Gentleman terminated by accusing the Com mittee on the budget of endeavouring to foment a secret opposition to the Government.—Count de Chasseloup- Laubat, the reporter, replied with much warmth to that accusation, affirming that the Committee was not in any respect hostile to the Government, and that it had merely endeavoured to explain with fairness and sin cerity the financial position of the country. These words were received with applause.—M. Jollivet de Castelot next read a speech in favour of the system at present existing in France; after which Count de Mon talembert rose and declared that he took the same view of the budget, its examination, and its discussion, as M. de Kerdrel had done. (It was remarked that the Prince President, who had hitherto sat far back in his tribune, now came more forward, as if to hear the Hon. Gentle man better.) M. de Montalembert said that he must protest against all idea of tending towards the re estab lishment of the Parliamentary regime, although he did not hesitate to say that he admired and regretted that regime, which had given so many years of peace and prosperity to France. He was contented with the existing system, at the same time that he must declare that in his opinion the great difference which existed between that system and one of absolute power was, for the Le gislative body to vote the taxes in all its independence. Yet who could say that such independence existed when the present mariner of examining the budget was consi dered? The Honourable Gentleman then proceeded at some length to enumerate the various impediments which, ho said, the intervention of the Council of State had thrown in the way of that examination, He also enumerated the fate of the various amendments pro posed by the Committee, and declared that the manner in which they were treated amounted to an absolute massacre of the innocents:—M. de Parieu, one of the Councillors of State, next spoke, and said, that the discussion which had just taken place ap peared to him to have no other object than to attack the enactments cf the Constitution , w hich did not allow any amendments when once rej ected by the Council of State to be again brought before the Legislative body. Yet the Constitution was the conse quence of the decree of the 2rl of December, which had not only saved the country from anarchy, but proved the salvation of the public fortune, which bad been ever since in a regular course of improvement.--M• Monier de la Sizeranne adduced arguments in favour of main taining the army at its present strength.—M. Steurra, Councillor of State, argued that honourable gentlemen were too precipitate in forming en opinion en the Constitution. Toe country looked at it very differently, for all that France asked for was simply to bo al lowed to remain tracqnil; and no one could deny that sine° the Constitution had been promulgated, tho coun:ry had enjoye:f complete tranquillity. The lion. Gentleman then, in, replying to the observations made relative to the presentation of amendments, said that the speeches which had been that day delivered would have been better suited to an adjoining chamber (this allusion to the lath and plaster building of the Le gislative Assembly was received with murmurs). After some observations from the reporter, the general discus sion was declared to be closed. The President then rose, and said that before the House passed to the dis cussion of the articles, he wished to communicate to the Member s the contents of a communication from the Minister of State, which had been handed to him in the course of the sitting. The letter in question stated that the Government considered it right to inform the Legis lative Body that the amendments presented by the Committee on the Budget, having been rejected by the Council of State, ought, according to the terms of the Constitution, to be looked on as not }having been brought forward, and that consequently, t h e terms of the report, which said that there only rem ained one course for the Legis lative body t o adopt—namely,to reject the whole chap ter,' appear e d to it (the Governme nt ) to be an uncon stitutional ant. This declaration produced great com motion, and C ount d e Chasseloup - Lau bat, at once rising, energetically d ec l are d that no man wa s more constitu tionally inclined than he was, and that the language of his report did not go farther than what he conceived the nature of the case demanded. After a few observations from M. Billault, the discussion of the articles was ad journed to this day. The sitting was then brought to a close at half-past five." At the opening of the sitting, the President read a Bill transmitted t o th e L e gislative body b y the Mi nister of State, approving of a conv ention entered into on the 19th inst. b e t wee n the Minister of Public Works and the Ly ons t o Avignon Railway Com p an y . The Bill was referred to the bureaux. We read in the Presse : " The Illoniteur will soon be installed at the Palais Royal. The chief editor, M. Grim, will be under the direction of a comae de surveillance, composed of three public functionaries—viz., M. Perron, who will repre sent the Ministry of State; H. Chevreau, who will re present the Ministry of the Interior; and M. Latou ci r a - Dumoulin, who at the Ministry of Police has tho sp surveillance of all matters respecti n g t he p ress. These three persons will select the w riters who are to assist el the chief editor." The Government received yesterday a dispatch, dated Cayenne, May 13, announcing the arrival there of the Allier corvette, with the first convicts, under the charge of M. DE SAItDA-CANIGA. This gentle man gives a very satisfactory account of the conduct of the convicts, who are, he says, disposed to labour and to lead a reformed life. The Illoniteur contains a notification to certain journals that they must not continue to evade the signature law or they will be fined. The • Illoniteur also contains the Bill for making a fusion of the southern railway companies. The continued fall of rain is beginning to create uneasiness, lest there should follow inundations of a destructive character such as occurred in 1846.. Last night a telegraphic dispatch was received from Lyons, stating that the Saone had swelled to such an extent as to be no longer navigable for the Lyons steamers. The Journal de Lot et Garonne states that the Lot and the Garonne had risen consider All ably, end o verflowed their banks in many places. the hay crops have been destroyed. On the day before the inundation all the hay on different islands was sold by tender, and the loss to the purchasers will he very great. Inundations have also taken place in the Ail), the Saone-et-Loire, and the Jura. The Loire had overflowed some places, so had the Allier, but ac cording to the last accounts these rivers were becoming lower. A good deal of damage has been done. M. CADON TAILEFER, manufacturer at Laigle (Orne), writes to the Siecle that he is ready, in con cert with other capitolists, to make the whole of the Paris and Cherbourg line on condition of receiving a subvention of 30,000,000 f. " It is stated," says the Patric, " that the Roman rc olol b og e na v , er and y soo t n o Government has just conceded to a French com pany the r.pile;s it e is to said,l v wta73o, from will,Rome Ancona. rh commenced." Paris, it is calculated, annually consumes straw berries to the amount of .5,000,000 f. Epinay, near St. Denis, sends every dry, during the season. 500 f. of asparagus to England. Meudon, last year, sent a similar amount of plums every day; and Honfleur and its neighbourhood 1,000,000 f. worth of melons in the course of the season. The Bourse was dull, with not so much business doing as for tome days past. The Four-and-a-Half per Cents. opened at 1011. 40c., and closed at 101 f. 50c. for the end of the month; the Three per Cents. closed at 701. 80c.; Orleans Railway Shares, 1,2371 50c.; Rouen, 1860 f.; Havre, 330 f,; Great Northern, 620 f.; Avignon, LITERATURE. ATL ANTIC AND TRANSATLANTIC SKETCHES AFLOAT AND ASHORE. By Captain Mackinnon. Colburn. In his narrative of a fourteen months' sojourn in America, or on its coast, Captain Mackinnon has dis played considerable skill in blending practical infor mation with amusing anecdotes ; his description of the Falkland Islands, and his adventures with the wild cattle, are well written and worthy of perusal. The following extract from an account of a West Indian hurricane, will give some idea of the terrible force of these tornadoes : "All doubt about the approaching tempest was now dispelled. The black inbatiitants of the small cottages in the vicinity, belonging t o the est a t e , flocked up to Dry-hill House, to seek consolation from companionship with the white people. " A light breeze soon sprang up from the north, and, as it rose, the mercury fell. At three o'clock a furious gale was raging. Being anxious to observe the proceed ings of the shipping, I slipped out of the back part of the house, and went down towards a cliff overlooking the anchorage. To my great disgust as a sailor, I per ceived amongst the twelve merchant-vessels, lying in the roads, that only four were making any preparations to withstand the typhoon. Three were at single anchor, with a short scope of chain, and top-gallant yards across, and one brig with royal-yards and head -sails loosed. Such hare-faced and lubberly carelessness is almost in- Old Columbus ' knew better. He soon made himself master of the signs preceding a hurricane in the Went Indies. " When he was off the principal Spanish West Indian settlement at St. Domingo, he foresaw that a hurricane would shortly arise, and sent to Ovando, the governor of the place, to request that he might be allowed to take refege in the harbour; but this being refused, he was obliged to stand out to sea, and face the storm. ' What man, without excepting even Job, would not have died of despair,' says Columbus, 1 to find that, at the crisis when the lives of myself, my son, my brother, and my friends were in danger, I was prohibited from approaching that country, and those ports, which, under the blessing of God, I had purchased for Spain at the expense of my blood!' At this time a fleet of twenty-four ships was about to sail for Spain, carrying large quantities of gold and pearls, partly the revenues of the king, and partly the properly of those private individuals who were pas sengers on board. Columbus, notwithstanding Ovando'a inhumanity, advised him to detain the fleet a few day s, because • a tornado was likely soon to occur; but- his warnings were treated with contempt, and the vess%is were suffered to proceed on their voyage. Before the close of the following day, twenty of their number, with fifteen hundred persons, had foundered in the hurricane. The loss of treasure on this occasion was so great as to aff et the financial resources of Spain for several years after.* "As the wind still steadily increased, I considered it best to get back to the shelter of the house. To enable me to do this conveniently, it was necessary I should creep along under the gayclen bank, v. , hich offered some protection against the gale. Not having the slightest idea that the force of the wind would he so enormous in this early stage of the hurricane, I att em pted to walk past a gateway, and being instantly struck by the full power of the blast, was rolled over, and driven, as by a giant's strength, violently along the ground. For a moment I gave myself up for lost, as the harbour of St. John was directly in my compelled course. Fortunately, before coming to the open water, the land declined into a bushy marsh. Here, assisted by the underwood, I clung firmly to Mother Earth." " The natural anxiety of a sailor again led me down to view the shipping. Never did I behold such a scene of wreck! Two of the largest; craft had foundered with all hands; the lower mast-heads still sticking above the water. The small vessels, as already stated, I found a long way above high-water mark. Three had ridden out the storm, and amongst them, to my surprise, the brig. Tt.ere she lay, still at single anchor, the main-royal yard still crossed, but the fore-top-mast-head twisted off, and all the upper gear gone. Who can account for this? "The poor steamer to which I was attac hed in En g lish Harbour had fared very badly. In the first part of the gale she had dragged the huge moorings, and gone broadside on to the wharf. On the gale shifting, not being able to snap the numerous fastenings by which she was secured to tha buried guns, she had torn down the whole length of the wharf whereto she was at tached, and dragged huge masses of d‘')ris into the har bour. Several ponderous stone buildings in the dock yard were blown down, and a Dutch corvette, strongly secured in English Harbour, was driven up into six feet water; her usual draft being seventeen feet." The descriptions of the various towns and seaports which the author visited, and his rambles inland, contain interesting accounts of their situations and resources, together with the customs of the inhabi tants, whether human or animal. We may, perhaps, complain that the author has been rather prolix on some points, and has introduced immaterial passages, still this but shows that he has endeavoured to give a true account of his rambles rather than to publish a work containing only the marvellous. This certainly is a proof of its genuineness. *Howison's "Colonies." ADMIRAL AUSTEN AND .HISFLAG-SHIP. Sir,—Under the head of " Naval Inteligence," dated " Plymouth," in your impression of Saturday, occur some observations reflecting on the conduct of Rear-Admiral Austen, in not taking his flag ship with him to Rangoon. I should hardly have thought it worth while to notice such observa tions if they had been confined to a provincial paper, but when the Times gives them circulation it is different. It seems to be implied in the observations i❑ question that the presence of the Admiral's family was in some way the cause of the arrange ment commented on. On the 24th of March the Ad miral's family was living in his house on Penang hill; on the 28th of that month he proceeded in. the Rattler to Rangoon. It is not very easy to see how the one circumstance can have had any connexion with the other. Independently of this, however, I am able to ste.to that the reason why the Hastings did not accom pany the Admiral, as bad been intended, was, that there was not water for a ship of her size in the Irrawaddy, and the Commodore had stated that ho had force enough without her. As there is no safe anchorage off the Irrawaddy, it would have been imprudent to take the Hastings there, with the change of monsoon coming on. it alight, perhaps, not be too much to assume that the Admiral would not wantonly have left his own immediate followers behind when active and honourable service was to be expected; and tho prompti tude with which, for the good of the service, ho gave up the advantages cf their attendance and the comtorts of his own ship, and transferred himself to a small steamer commanded by a stranger, if it ha 3 not obtained him " ocanplimeats," might at least have saved him from attack. I have the honour to be, &c., HENRY E. AUSTEN. 7, N ew Eq uare ; L .. inco(filn' o s a l o n rs n o , , Ju u n n e vA 2 .e l r . for Admiral Als t' t i e : s r,, , s we rn t ' i n v l , -, ::: ' we cannot presume to assert that . family when ,. con,ideration he s " d h e i d m t t o o R l e s a v o o the Ila,ting6 behind . goon, a lth oug h (an lty order lately issued At' mira l us iou.

THE BREAK W ATER. A very op era tion is in progress at the b reakwater now in co urse of construc tion at this place, which is nothing less th an the building intrere°stlngTL au A d N novel ove l engineeri ng of a bridge across, or rather into, the sea. In order to render the necessity for this intelligible, it will be better to describe the general design of the breakw ater. This is intended to consist of two separate portions—the one extending from the shore into the sea about 1,900 feet, in an east-north-east direction; and the other about 6,000 feet in length, and isolated, , th e nearest point of which will ultimately be 400 feet from t h e i nn er portion. During the progress of the works, an d u ntil the pier heads forming the ends of these arms are built, the necessary space for constructing them, and other contingent causes, will Prevent the rough unfinished portion of the two arms approaching nearer to each other than from 8 00 to 1,000 feet. The stone with which the breakwater its formed is quarried by convicts; but the general execution of th e sam e, re quiring too much mechanical knowledge for such a class of men, is under contract. The stone (an admixture of rough large blocks, from six tons and under, m i xe d with a sufficient quantity of small ribble to fill the interstices) is tipped into the sea from railway wagg ons (without any attempt at regularity, with the excepti on o f a due regard to a proper proportion of sizes), trains of which are hauled along the breakwater by locomoti ve engines. This mode of depo s iting the material renders its e xecu tion very cheap ; and it is principally; with a view of adopting this manner of construction on the outer break water that the bridge above alluded to becomes neces sary. This is of course a timber structure, and although only for what may bo called a tem porary purpose, is necessarily, both from its position and from the length of time it will have to remain, erected in a manner which would ordinarily be called permanent. The general depth of water at low water is about 57 feet, and the roadway being 25 feet above this level, it follows that the piles must be about 80 feet in length or height, a" , as sin g le m b a e sts Prepared with the necessary iron work connected with ii) about seven tons. The mode of fixing these in the made timbers iik w e o t u h l e d ground is ingenious. They are shod with cast-iron shoes of Mitchell's patent, having m o a f tl i v re e sa s , n () e t a c o h b t tnibilhl7ll, g ' theyt.t(ls g hatr, i ne t a thread or worm upon them of a large pitch, which are screwed into the clay or shale by means of a capstan head, and bars fixed on the head of the piles. E ac h pile is supported in an upright position by very strong guys or stay rods, and upon these piles, which are in rows, 30 feet apart, the necessary superstructure for carrying three lines of railway and a horse-track is fixed, making a bridge of about 80 feet wide. A visit to these works would well repay a ny one who is interested in these matters, both from the magnitude of the work and the speed with which it is executed, the total length of 1,000 feet only taking about four months to do. The harbour of refuge at Portland is the largest now being constructed, under the reco mmendation of the Harbour Commissioners, appointed some few years back, and the works have been carried forward with great spirit. The breakwater staging is now approaching half-a mile in length from the shore, and the part filled up‘with stone already affords very considerable shelter in the anchor age, the advantages of which are beginning to be felt by the masters of vessels, foreign as well as British. The works are being constructed for . the Admiralty, under the superintendence of Mr. James M. Bendel, F.R.S., ergiueer in chief, and Mr. J o h n Coode, resident en gineer. Mr. J. T. Leathero is the contractor for the same. THE GREAT NORTHERN R AIL WAy.....

ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The celebrated equestrian spectacle of St. George and the Dragon, with its splendid appointments, still con tinues to attract large audiences to this world-renowned amphitheatre. The exertions of Mr. Batty to add to the glories gathered here by that favourite of genius, t he late Andrew Ducrow, richly deserve all the reward they continue to meet with. We are the more rejoiced at this, for no manager ever exceeded Mr. Batty in his desire to steure novelly, at any price, for the enter tainment of the play-going public. The :teems in the aren a arc as beautiful as of old. To particularise where 3 11 was good would be invidious; suffice it to say, all deserved the applause they received. The drolleries of Barry the clown and the politeness of Widdicomb added much to the entertainments of a very pleasant evening. GUIDE TO THE BRITISH MUSEUM. —A pocket guide book to the great national repository of the wonders of art and nature has recently been published by Messrs. Cradock and Company— a guide-•book surpassing all others in com pactness, and yet equal for all ordinary purposes in complete ness. It is divided into five sections. conducting the reader through all the departments of the British Museum in suc cession, and thereby enabling him to examine the whole collection at a single visit. The first section is purely intro ductory, historical, and generally descriptive, including re ference to the reeding-room attached to the library. The second describes the gallery of antiquities, together with the adjacent chambers, comprising the Nimroud marbles, and similarly recent ac:dition2. The third depicts the Elgin collection. The fourth the Etruscan and Egyptian. The fifth embraces the whole of the marvels in natural history To the sight-seers of the metropolis the publication will be. peculiarly acceptable. Mr. Gordon Cumming was honoured on Tuesday with a visit from their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, accompanied by their tutors, at his South African Museum. The Princes seemed much pleased with he collection during the hour they remained, and particularly with the Bushman, who imitated the wild denizens of the forest, and answered the questions addressed t 9 WA by t h e AoYA I PArtY Witt' ILI wpm nairetf. 1852, OXFORD COMMEMORATIO N. WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON.—It is almost unnee”sary to state that although the word " Commetnoratiot 13 libPrally extended to the first three or tour days of the present week, this present Wednesday is the only Comstemorati( , r-day" props sly so called. To•dit:i the Encccnia—a3 nobody terms it—is held in the thee Lute, the usual oration is delivered by the public orator (iNIr. Claughton acted as substitute for Mr. Mitchell), and t be successful competitors in the arts of Latin and Dagli sh composition recite their productions from their r espe tire pulpits. The intrinsic good•naturie of the students,, and their readiness to commend wherever they felt com mendation was due, was strikingly illustrated in the ease of the NemEget° Poem, composed and recited by Mr. Edwin Arnold, of University College. The English Poem, we may remind our readers, is the grand f eature of the day; a pause takes place in the t.mi gr"tilmls of the theatre, which after the first helf-lt our arc almost as frequent as the immigrations preceding, anti tut list®ns Arnold, a gentleman of singularly mild u, in e r , :e a' n v o t l unpretending ci a i dAl g Y a i,i r a te i: p s eo n t o , t st7t t ly e d(..ixtipaecrtled to , o li m st e e t: Ica ho wes unable to maintain, and a sho was no commaonna r s s e i e g ni n e a ;d lizpd the abortive attempt.

But as the "-°n dons ~ai n n e e x. it inp g a u isb h v a ba l e,s ya m n dp aw t lt i t c i h e "" Progressed and the reel beatifies of his composition la a commencement chanegceerientaoppa miration. The first grand burst apparent the deri,ion of the roiftlte of unfeigned applause was elicited by the following lines, reforrinn•b which damped the spirits of the to the presentiment guests at Belskusee feast (the subject of the poem):— " It seemed no summer-cloud of woo passing Could fling its shadow on so fair a s h ow It seemed the gallant forms that feasted there Were all too grand for woe, too great for care Whence came the anxious eye, the altered tone, The dull presentiment no heart would own, That ever changed the smiling to a sigh Sudden as sea-bird flashing from the sky? It is not that they know the spoiler waits Harnessed for battle at the brazen gates, It is not that they hear the watchman's call Mark the slow minutes on the leaguered wall; The clash of quivers and the ring of spears Make pleasant music in a soldier's ears." The last two lines seemed especially to kindle the mili tary spirit of the undergraduates, and they beat the gallery panels with approving delight. The following passage had another cause for popularity:— " Oh ! ever, when the happy laugh is dumb, All the joy gone, and all the anguish come — When strong adversity and subtle pain Wring the sad soul and rack the throbbing brain — When friends once faithful, hearts once all our own, Leave us to weep, to bleed, and die alone — When fears and cares the lonely thought employ, And clouds of sorrow hide the sun of joy— When weary life, breathing reluctant breath, Bath no hope sweeter than the hope of death— Then the best counsel and the last relief To cheer the spirit or to cheat the grief, The only calm, the only comfort beard Comes in the music of a woman's word— Like beacon bell on some wild island shore, Silvery ringing in the tempest's roar, Whose sound borne shipward thro' the midnight gloom Tells of the path, and turns her from her doom." If there is any characteristic more prominent than another in these genial assemblies, it is the spirit of gal lantry which everywhere seeks an opportunity to display itself - . When the undergraduates, before the commence ment of the proceedings, shouted out the names of various public men, and then followed them with hisses or ap plause, the cry of " The ladies!" ever and anon was in troduced into the series, and always elicited a burst of enthusiasm. What could be more appropriate to such an assembly than the lines just quoted? The male part of the audience gallantly adopted the sentiment, and the ladies, by tacit smiles, showed that the compliment was appreciated. The concluding lines of the poem brought it to an effective termination— _ _ " That night they slew him on his father's throne, The deed unnoticed and the hand unknown: Crownless and sceptreless Belshazzar lay, A robe of purple round a form of clay." One is always atraid that in these formal displays of poetic art one will be " bored" with an enormous moral after the story is told. Hence, the bold manner in which the fate of Belshazzar is brought within the com pass of four lines, and the moral is conveyed by the fact itself, produced a most agreeable disappointment. It is not, we believe, usual to quote these compositions, but we understand Mr. Arnold's poem ranks far above the ave rage of University compositions, and as it is the theme of general admiration we do not. hesitate to depart from ' precedent. The other orations were " Avium Migrationes," in Latin verse, by Mr. R. G. Wyndham Herbert, Scholar of Balliol; " Centralization," a prose English essay, by Mr. H. W. Sotheby, Fellow of Exeter; and a Latin essay, " Qumaam ingenii virtutes ad historias seri bondas potissimum conducunt," by Mr. H. Parker, Fel low of Oriel. It is needless to state that all thee were received with loud applause. Under the head of " Uni versity Intelligence" we have given the list of honorary Doctors' degrees conferred on this occasion. We need only add that the name of Sir J. T. Coleridge was fol lowed by special applause, and that Sir Gardner Wil kinson was saluted by the undergraduates with the title of " Old Hieroglyphics." The crowd during the whole progress of the " Com memoration" was terrific. Visitors were admitted by batches at a limo, and as each new batch increased the contents of the area many a man who fancied he had good standing room, found himself jostled and knocked about, and curing his hat as a most inconvenient in• cumbrance. One gentleman who kept his hat on re cAred a storm of nchnunitions from the underzraliates' ~:till,ry, but, cer , ...inly, if the ain was great, the tempta tion was great also. The Bishops or Oxford, Lmdnn, and Exeter were among the illustrissimi of the assembly, as wed as three or four young noblemen in full Univertity costume. A balloon was to have gone up from an inclosuro in the vicinity oE . the Taylor Institution, and although the locality was devoid of every species of convenience, a rather high charge was made to witness the sight. The tempting handbill, drew together a vast number of gownsinen and citizens, who when they entered the en closure were first regaled with the aspect of a huge half inflated s ilk bag, which, without attempting to raise itself from the ground, rocked about in all directions, and as it perpetually threatened to bury the visitors, was much more of a nuisance than a diversion. At last a rumour was spread that there was not sufficient gas to raise the balloon, and that therefore it must go up some other time. Not a hiss, not a groan, not a murmur was heard, but the assembly walked off, rather more satisfied at the joke of going to see a balloon which did not rise than they would have been:at an actual ascent. At four o'clock the concert came off in the midst of the other amusements of the day. BARON LIONEL ROTHSCHILD. The following correspondence will be read with peculiar interest at this moment by the electors of the City of London—revealing as it does the sentiments in regard to religious liberty entertained by one of the present representatives of the metropolis : (Copy.) 3, Sherborne-lane, City, June 18, 1852. Sir,—Your circular letter being an address to your comtitueuts, has been forwarded to me, and was, no doubt, so sent from the fact of my having on each occa sion of your election given you my vote, and your cause my hearty support, which:l am anxious to do again, pro vided your reply to my interrogatories should be satis fictory. As the bishops and clergy of the church of which I profess myself a member have been degraded, and every loyal Roman Catholic insulted by the passing of a penal Act of Parliament during the session of last year, I am naturally anxious, in common with my co religionists and brother electors, to know whether you would not only support the passing of a measure to re peal that contemptible Act of Parliament, but to repeal every other penal measure which restricts the complete religious freedom of the Roman Catholic?
