True to his character as leader of the Opposition, Lord STANLEY is perpetually endeavouring t o ern . barrass the Government by popping questions of the most exquisite delicacy to the :Marquis of LANS DOWNE. We quarrel not with this circumstance; on the contrary, we are always disposed to congratu late ourselves upon the collision of sentiment between the Opposition and the Cabinet, seeing that from that very collison arises the solution of many official enigmas, and the threading of many diplomatic laby rinths. Distressing as this Parliamentary catechism may be to the members of the Administration, it is eminently delightful and satisfactory as far as the general population is concerned ; for by this means the curtain is partially raised, the darkness is for the moment dissipated,and, in spite of all the obstructions raised against curiosity by the Executive, casual glimpses are obtained into the very sanctuary of the government. Admirable, however, as these results are, it is impossible not to recognise the factious an tagonism in which they very frequently originate; and of this excessively troublesome inquisitiveness We conceive Lord STANLEY to be repeatedly and peculiarly guilty. Look, for example, at the inquiry —the superfluous, and, at the same time, in a Parlia mentary sense, the absolutely indelicate inquiry—put yesterday evening by the Noble Lord to the .Marquis of LANSDOWNE. After the candid and reiterated ex planations_ a ma d e o ffi c i a ll y i n both Houses of Par -I,l,rm.neen.t, by the L or d P res id ent of the Council, by the -pal Secretary for the Foreign Department, and by the Fi rst Lord of the Treasury ; after the publi cation of the entire correspondence, firstly, between Sif HENRY LYTTON lITILWER and the Duque DE So TOMATOR, and se con dl y between Senor XAVIER DE ISTURITZ and Visc ount PALMERSTON it is Surely ratter late in the day t o qu ibb le about the non-recep tion of Count MIRASOL in hi s unaccredited capacity. As Lord PALMERSTON himself observed, in oneofhis masterly letters to the Spanish A m b assador, it was scarcely the most reasonable mome n t to look for the reception of an additional or supplementary emissary to the Court of Sc. James's, when th e B r i t i s h Ambas sadory was being dismissed from Madrid in a manner so peculiarly contumelious, if not so entirely and monstrously unprecedented. And yet the Noble Leader of the Opposition insinuates his vvsath in open Parliament because, for sooth, the Ministerial advisers of Queen VICTORIA meted not- only to bow submissively before the insolence of SOTOMATOR, but also to give a vivid evidence of their meekness by kissing the rod of their insulter, and by humbling themselves to the dust in the presence of his Iberian audacity. Remem bering the speech delivered last evening by Lord STANLEY, it is to us a thought of profound satisfac tion that the glory and the dignity of Great Britain in regard to its foreign relations is not in the keeping of the heir to the Earldom of Derby, but that it is in the hands of that distinguished statesman who, after, thirty years, has preserved the consistency of his reputation by maintaining, at all hazards, the character of England. Now that all diplomatic relations have ceased, how ever, between the two countries, we are not disposed to revive again this exceedingly wearisome misunder standing. The position and prospects of the unfortu nate land at present under the iron rule of NARVAEZ will always afford a nobler theme for investigation. And that theme we shall never abandon until the pre sent despicable and tyrannous Government of the Peninsula is subverted, and a new policy introduced to Madrid under novel and healthier auspices. From the impartial Progresista already quoted so often by ourselves, from the pamphlet of Don VICENTE PEREDA, we glean this remarkable declaration (p.. 52) —" The ancient law is compatible with true liberty, and is capable of accommodating itself to the exigen cies of the age—La anti gua ley es compatible con la libertad, y se puede acomodar a las exigencias de la epoca." That is an important declaration, coming as it does from the lips of a Progresista, from the lips of one of that liberal party, one of that hopeful and progres sive party which is supposed by many (though most erroneously so) to foster ideas of a prospective re public. And it is precisely becausewehav ea th fu a l t l appreciation of the importance of this assertion we are disposed to give a deliberate hearing to the statements and arguments of its promulgator. At a later and more opportune moment we shall enter into these statements thoroughly, without pinning down our credence to bare asseve rations, but with a readiness to give all attention to the facts culled from history. Ulti mately, however, when the National party is formed by the union of the honest men of the l‘loderados and of the Progresistas, as was recommended by ESCOSURA, and as has been since enforced by PEREDA, the truth or the fallacy of the assertion that the ancient law of Spain is compatible with true liberty, will become a consideration of the most vital interest. The decision arrived at by that National party upon the fact of that memorable sentence will involve the rejection of the modern, or the revival of the ancient, Constitution of the Spanish Peninsula. To modify the exclamation of the Athenian—Dissent, but hearken ! A new writ was on Wednesday directed to be issued for the borough of Cheltenham, and the House last night made a similar order in the case of Horsham. We trust that the change of sentiment thus manifested, more particularly in the latter case, may be indicative of the determination of the Legis lature to take an enlarged and comprehensive view of the subject, and to adopt such remedies as may not only punish the parties who are actually guilty, but may prevent the recurrence of similar acts of cor ruption to those which have been established in evidence before the Committees of the House. " Melilla est, petere fontes quam see tari rivulos." It is more suited to the dignity of the Legislature to trace out the sources from whence these evils have originated, to remove the temptation to delinquency, to place the elective fran chise on a proper foundation, than to waste its time in the investigation of trifling cases, and to terminate its labours by removing a few isolated individuals from the roll of electors, or even by the disfran chisement of a particular class. The principle of the British law is that it "is better that ninety nine guilty persons should escape the punish ment due to their crimes than that *one inno cent person should be unjustly convicted," and public opinion has sanctioned and approved the humane and equitable doctrine. The rule would, however, be wholly reversed if many electors whose conduct was beyond impeachment were to be deprived of a highly prized constitutional privilege, because some few of their neighbours had degraded themselves by the acceptance of bribes or treats from the candidates themselves, their agents or friends. Parties should not be made responsible for acts in which they did not in any degree participate. It may be asked, then, would we permit cases of gross corruption to remain unpunished, and the character of the House of Representatives to be lowered by even the suspicion that any of its mem bers had obtained admission by such unjust and infa mous means? Most assuredly not—we would punish most stringently both the briber and the bribed, the tempter and the man who yielded to his solicitations, in every case where it could be clearly and unequivocally brought home to them. Let all such persons be for ever deprived of the rights they have abused, of the privileges of which they have proved themselves to be unworthy; but do not im plicate others without full and just cause fa their punishment. An efficient remedy, however, is not to be sought in a reduction of the number of electors ; on the contrary, a large addition should be made to the number. New and healthy blood should be infused into the diseased constituencies sufficient to neutralise the local influences which had previously operated so injuriously. Enlarge the boundaries, add new and hitherto unrepresented districts to the existing boroughs ; no injury will thereby be inflicted on any. A monopoly may perhaps be abolished—a few aristocratic families may no longer be able to send their nominees to Parliament to record their votes in obedience to the dictates of their patrons. But can that be regarded as an evil ? Is it not rather the object most to be sought after? The more equal apportionment of elec toral districts asked for by the Honourable Member for Montrose would bring back a healthy state of affairs, and would remove the temptation to bribery that now exists, while the adoption of the ballot would render it perfectly useless to attempt such a course, when there could be no security that the per son who was so base as to accept the wages of cor ruption, would not be vile enough afterwards to betray those who paid the degrading stipend. It is ridiculous to say, that is an un-English habit. Do not the wealthier classes in their own immediate spheres adopt the practice ? How are th e members of the various clubs elected ? i Engli s h 0) Is it not in accordance with the condemned and un principle ? We could, if necessary, multiply instances, but cui bona ? What is fit for the wealthier classes cannot be improper for their poorer brethren, to whom it would afford protection from the coercion that has been too often exercised, and at the same time provide the best guarantee against every species of bribery and corruption.

FANATICO PER LA MCSICA. Mrs. Hudson gave her first ball at Albert-gate, on Tuesday evening, on which occasion she was honoured with the presence of nearly 600 leading members of the fashionable world. The Conde de Montemolin, accom panied by his Royal Highness the Infante Don Fer nando of Spain, honoured the reunion with his presence. The Duke of Wellington was among the earliest to arrive. His Grace was loudly cheered on alighting from his carriage. The guests arrived in rapid &accession from half-past eleven until nearly one o'clock. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. THE NATIONAL ASSEMBLY, We have received the Paris papers of yesterday, We fear that it is but too true that M. DE LAMAR TINE has given in his adhesion to the doctrines of Communism, and that if he does not go quite the length of M. PEUDHON, and declare that all property is a theft, he goes quite far enough to make all pro perty valueless, by weakening the tenure by which it is held, and to render industry impossible, by giving to the idle the right of seizing in the proceeds of the labour of the industrious. It appears from the Con stitutionnel that he has actually pledged himself to the appointment of a Communist Minister, under the denomination either of Minister of Progress, as wa s proposed by Louis BLANC, or Minister of Labour, or Minister of Fraternal Institutions, as the ex-club petitioners proposed to call him—in short, to the creation of that Ministerial department which was demanded by Louis BLANC, and refused by the As sembly. The consideration which M. LAMARTINE is to receive may be gathered from the following paragraph which appears in La Presse : " SHORT DIALOGUE. " Matters must be allowed to grow worse !—Where. fore ? " Because only one way is l e ft to us f or reta i ning the power which is slipping away. " What way ? " To render the dictatorship of General Cavaignac necessary. "But he is without decision and weak minded. " What matter, people do not know that, and his weakness is suppli e d b y 60,000 troops in Paris' and the suburbs. We are only waiting an occasion, and we shall not have long to wait." M. LAMARTINE, as an old aristocrat, has always been actuated by that hatred of the middle classes which is so characteristic of his " order," and therefore he is by no means opposed to the reorganization of the Blanqui and other clubs, which is now going on. These men declare their intention of at once finishing with the bourgeoisie, a process which it is well known the aristocracy and the parti-pretre consider as necessary to the restoration of the old tyranny which France shook off in 1789. As a part of this plan the most atrocious libels are placarded about Paris denouncing to the popular ven geance all those who dare to hint that it is proper that the persons maintained at the public expense in the Ateliers Nationaux (among whom are several thousand escaped convicts) should be either dismissed or forced to labour. M. GOUDCHAUX was denounced in this manner on Wednesday. If anything were wanting to prove how destructive to all industry are these Ateliers Nationaux, the statement of M. LA 'ANNE, who succeeded M. EMILE Tnomes as director of these institutions, would be sufficient. There are maintained here 100,000 workmen ; 50,000 men are applying for admittance, yet some trades—the hat makers, for instance—are actuallyin want of work men ; but, in the true spirit of aristocratic idleness, these persons prefer living on 30 sous a day without labour to earning four times that sum by their honest industry. The Executive propose as a plan which will thin the Ateliers, that all the recipients of relief between the ages of 17 and 25 shall be drafted into the army or dismissed. The Government has protested against the organi zation proposed by the King of PRUSSIA for the Duchy of Posen. The Moniteur publishes a decree dismissing M. Rossi, the late ambassador at Rome, from the pro• fessorship of constitutional law in the faculty of law of. Paris. M. NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, the member of the Na tional Assembly, whose name has been put forward as a candidate for the colonelcy of the 2d Legion of the National Guard of Paris, has written to decline the honour, on the ground that be does not consider the position of a representative compatible with that of commander of an armed force. Prince Louts NAPOLEON has been elected colene] of the 4th Legion of the banlieue of Paris. The last accounts received in Paris from Gueret and Nimes state that tranquillity had been perfectly restored at both these places. The number of killed at the former place is 22. Some apprehensions of an emeute were entertained yesterday in consequence of the refusal of the work men in the Ateliers Nationaux either to volunteer into the army or to return to their departments. Dele gates from the clubs Lave been among them, urging them to an outbreak, and promising them assistance to destroy the bourgeoisie. Those of the ouvriers, 12,000 in number, who had agr€ed to return to their departments, have now positively refused to quit Paris. It is supposed that the Ledru-Rollin and Lamartine section of the Executive, whose complicity with the transactions of the 17th April and lath of May is now scarcely doubtful, are secretly fostering an outbreak on the part of the ouvriers, in order to be enabled to keep power in their own hands, and to avoid the necessity of producing their accounts to the National Assembly. The Minister of Foreign Affairs has laid before the Finance Committee a statement of the position of the public Treasury on the 24th February and the 31st May, 1848. From this it appears that the amount of specie in the central caisse of the Trea sury, on the 24th of February, was 8,516,1271., and on the 31st of May, 11,413,906 f. The money at the credit of the Treasury in the Bank of France on the 24th of February was 126,011,7241., and on the 31st of May, 18,849,5461. ; good bills due to the Treasury on the 24th of February, 56,961,130 f,; and on the 31st of May, 38,492,134 f. BOUBSE.—Pems, THURSDAY, JUNE 22. THREE o ' CLOCß.—Business was again in a state of utter stagnation to-day, and the Bourse was almost de• serted. There were several rumours afloat, at the ter• mination of business, of disturbances among the work men in the Ateliers Nationaux, which had the effect of bringing down the Rentes.

The following project for the establishment of a Central Executive in Germany has been submitted to the consideration of the German Parliament : " The National Assembly resolves— " 1. Until the definite establishment of a governing power for Germany, a Directory of Confederation shall be appointed to exercise the paramount power in all affairs common to the German nation. 2. This Directory shall consist of three men, to be nominated by the German Governments, and finally to be elected by them, atter the German National Assem bly, by simple division, without discussion, has signified its approval of them. " 3. The Directory of Confederation has provision ally— :' (a) The full executive in all matters which pertain to the common security and welfare of the German Con federate state. " (b) To undertake the chief conduct of the army at large, and especially to appoint the Generalissimo of the troops of the Confederation. " (c) To pruvide for the national representation of Germany, and to this end to appoint ambassadors and consuls. " 4. With regard to peace and war, and treating with its fo decreesreignp in rt with the National Assembly powers, n t c h e e DirectoryofConfe A de s r s a em tio b nf . rames "5. The erection of the fabric of the constitution is excluded from the sphere of the Directory's operations. "6. Thp Directory of Con ederation exerts its power by means of ministers elected by itself, but responsible to the National Assembly. All the decrees of the As sembly to be valid require the counter-signature of at least one responsible minister. " 7. The Ministers have a right to attend the delibe rations of the National Assembly, and to claim a hear ing from it at any g i ven moment ; but they have only n the right of vote in the National Assembly, when they have been chosen members of it. On the other hand, the office of member of the Directory of Confede ration is irreconcileable with that of a deputy to the National Assembly. . 8. As soon as the fabric of the German Constitu tion is finished and brought into operation, the power of the Directory and its ministers ceases." BOHEMIA. The bombardment of Prague still continues, and the city is reduced to a heap of ashes. According to the latest accounts the cannon were still playing upon the city from the St. Lorenzenberg and Wische rad, the Jesuiten-strasse was in flames, whole streets were in ruins. The son of Prince WiNniscriGßATz died of his wounds on the 16th. The fury of the Czechs knew no bounds, They cut off the noses, ears, and lips of all the soldiers that fell into their hands. No quarter was asked and none given. Each man fought for life or death. At eight o'clo4 in the morning of the 17th the Ministry received the following telegraphic dispatch at Vienna : " Prince Windischgratz has resolved to lay down his command. " Count Mensdorff has undertaken the provisional command. Trarguillity may be expected. " The bombarding has ceased. 'the troops gradually, advance as the barricades are cleared." A second telegraphic dispatch was received at nine o'clock at night from the Burgomaster at Prague, it is as follows :-- "As the burghers and students are ready to re•estab fish order, the Burgomaster requests that the ministry will confirm the following by telegraph, • The military, with the exception of Grenadiers, are to enter, the city, and until the delivery of the petiti ons b y our deputations to the Emperor, and to our ministers, no arrests or house searchings shall take place on the part of the military. The deputation will start for Vienna this evening. " Praguelis in a most„perilous condition, a speedy settle. ment is indispenFable. Baron VON PILLERSDORFY sent the following reply by telegraph : "The Ministers cannot grant the required confirmation demanded this day, but they have e mp owere d t h e C ourt Commissioners to du so, if they consider this step calcu lated to re-establish peace. It will therefore be requisite to refer the request to them." 11 UN GARY. The military revolt at Pesth has been suppressed AUSTRIA, The EMPEROR has applied to Baron PILLERSDORFF to continue in office, and to form a new Ministry. The Baron has asked for time to consider the subject. VIENNA, JUNE 18 . — Intelligence from Prague is of a more quieting character. The city has capitulated. The rebels have given fourteen hostages, and Prince WINDISCHGRATZ, who has again undertaken the supreme command has occupied it with his troops. The taking of Padua and Treviso is confirmed. The Wiener Zeitung contains a proclamation of the Ministerial Council, both to the inhabitants of Prague in particular, and, the inh a bit an t s o f t h e town and districts of Bohemia in general, exhorting them to keep the peace, and to lay their grievances before the approaching Diet. The Wiener Zeitung of the 18th contains an official announcement from the Austrian Ministry, that in consequence - of the illness of his Majesty the EM PEROR, he will be unable to quit Inspruck, and has therefore deputed his brother the Archduke FRANCIS CHARLES to be his representative, with full powers, at the approaching Diet, and that he will arrive in Vienna on the 23d of June. PESTI!, JOKE 17.—The President of the Ministry, Count BITTRTANT, who returned from Inspruck on the 17th, has brought with him several manifestoes of the EMPEROR to the Croatians and Sclavonians, as well as to JELLACHICS, the Ban of Croatia, in which the latter is declared a rebel, and is summoned to give an account of his conduct. The Zeitungshalle states, from Konigsberg, that the General in command has issued orders, both to Pillau and Dantzig, that the two garrisons shall be armed forthwith, and put on a war footing.—lfamburgh Borsenhalle, June 20. PRUSSIA. Vox ScuLBNITz has refused the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, and it is not probable that MILDE will accept the portfolio of the Interior, which has been offered to him. It is said that a revision of the constitution is under consideration. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. A division of the Norwegian forces, amounting to 3,000 men, had passed Elsinore, on their way to Malmo, and 2,000 were to follow them from Chris tiania. On the other side, the Prussian and Hano verian troops were likewise receiving reinforcements. A Swedish squadron of nine vessels-of-war was cruising in the Baltic. Orders have been sent from Berlin to put Pilau and Dantzic in a state of defence. FLENSBURG, JUNE 18.—A decisive engagement, according to all appearances, is close at hand. The general staff, the Oldenburgh regiments, the Hano verian Hussars—in short, all set out this morning northward. Even the Brunswickers (two battalions), which had encamped about a league from here, broke up this morning for the Danish territory. All the large waggons, also, for transporting the sick have followed the train, and an immense quantity of powder and shot has been sent off. The 3d and 20th Prussian regiments will enter our city this evening. These two regiments have, as is well known, suffered the most severely during the late engagements, and consequently must have need of reit. The superintendent of police exercises great vigilance over all persons suspected of favouring the Danish cause. Some of them are obliged to appear before him every day; nay, sometimes, more than once in a day. The Danish ships of the line have lately ceased firing their bombs, as they saw the utter uselessness of this measure. RENDSBURG, JUNE 17.—Two companies of sharp shooters and three Prussian battallions marched in here to-day, and will be immediately followed by the two others. The North Schleswig deputation has returned from Berlin, but as might easily be supposed, in consequence of the distracted state of that capital during the last few days, they have been able to do do little or nothing towards the accomplishment of their object. ALTONA, JUNE 15.—We have continued arrivals here of the sick, and slightly wounded officers and soldiers. We have been obliged to clear the new Orphan House for their reception, so that, besides the whola wing of the workhouse, which is full, the bar racks of the Infantry and the Orphan House are now used as hospitals. Several of the wounded officers have been received into private houses. The arrival of bodies of troops continues without interruption. Latterly a number of Prussians have again come. Last Friday two companies of the Prussian sharpshooters arrived, and yesterday the cannoneers with a heavy battery of artillery, six 25- pounders and two hovvitzers.—Haniburgh Cor re. pondeni, June 20th. COPENHAGEN, JUNE 17. The Avis of Elsinore says that on the 16th.the first Norwegian troops were seen there, three steamers, with 1,000 japers, having passed by. As the officers in Elsinore had received no orders about the landing of these troops, the steamers went to Malmo. The same steamers are also to transport 2,000 men from Christiania, as the Norwegian contingent is to consist of 3,000 men. The States of Jutland have determined to con sider the debate on the Address in Committee with closed doors. ARNEMUNDE, JUNE 18. A fleet of seven or eight Swedish war-ships, coming from the east, anchored last night, two-and-a-half miles to the north of this harbour, and is this moment (six o'clock I in the morning) getting under weigh. S In the late meeting of the States, the Privy Councillor GaErENsTEDT, in answer to questions put to him in the Assembly, as to the actual ma p oasrikti principalnan d of G S epr w anar e t d a ny e Sweden in the war between Den , declared that the Swedish in regard to her t a ki ng Government had acted entirely in conformity with the decision of the Secret Committee to which the whole question had been referred, and according to the in tentions of the high guaranteeing powers. He further stated that the attack of the German Confede ration on the Danish territory must seriously endanger her existence as a nation, and therefore Sweden could not refrain from lending the King of D ENMARK t h at support necessary to repel such attacks, and give Denmark all possible moral support ; but that whether the Swedish Government might see fit to pa ss from her system of passive resistance to one more on the offensive, circumstances must determine ; further he did not feel himself at liberty to go in his explana tions. HOLLAND. The Second Chamber of the Dutch States has been opened. Twelve protects of law were pre sented, accompanied by the following loyal ad- dress : " Noble and Mighty Lords,—The twelve projects of law which we present to your High Mightinesses, con tain a complete project of the fundamental law modified. They are to replace the projects of law which were sent to your High Mightinesses by our message of the Bth of March last. " In the exposes of motives which accompany the new projects of law, the principles upon which these repose have been developed. " In the exordium of this memorial relative to the first project of law, you will find the particulars, which will make known to you the general character and com position of these projects. " I submit the examination of these projects to your High Mightinesses, keeping in view not only our situa tion at home, but also the events which have given rise to reforms in almost all the states of Europe. " Although our country, thanks be to God, has re mained a stranger to thaw convulsions which have shaken other states, prudence demands that we should not lose sight of that which appears to have become a universal necessity among naticns. "I cherish the confidence that the fundamental law, modified according to the projects which will be exa mined by your High Mightinesses, will anseer the pre sent wants at the same time it leaves us the power of fixing our attention upon the course of e vents , so t h at we shall be able progressively to develop and ameliorate our social relations. "I am fully aware that on several questions of more or less importance a difference of opinion may and does indeed exist; but under present circumstances it is the duty of every one to manifest a spirit of concilia tion, and to sacrifice minor personal opinions. " In examining the different modificatinns which are presented to you for the fundamental law, I do not en tertain.the slightest hesitation that your High Mighti net=se4 will successfully accomplish a duty which I most. urgently recommend to you for the purpose of securing that union which is the true weal of the country.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The House sat to-day to hear Scotch appeals. The Peers in attendance were the Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, Lord Wynford, and the Bishop of Hereford. LEITII V. YOUNG. The further arguments in this part-heard appeal from the judgment of the Court of Session in Scotland occu pied their Lordships the whole morning. The case has already occupied several days in being argued. QUEEN'S BENCH.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Lord DENMAN.) SOLOMONS V. DUNSTAN. Mr. WATSON stated the case to the jury. He said it was an action brought by Mr. Solomons, an extensive fruiterer and greengrocer in Covent-garden Market, to recover the sum of 33/. 4s. ld. from Miss Sarah Anne, and Miss Fanny Stuart Dunstan, for expensive fruit and greengrocery supplied to them in the early part of 1846. The ladies at the time lived at Hampstead, and subse quently at Kentish•town and Brighton. He would read some of the items, in order to show the extravagant price at which the ladies were content to hare fruit and vegetables, wholly out of season at the time. On February the 25th, 1846, they or dered a pine, the cost of which was 2/. 12s. 6d. Now a tradesman had no objection to people having extravagantly priced articles at unseasonable periods, at which more reasonable people did not dream of them, provided they paid for them. Then again, they ordered a bundle of asparagus in February, when he was sure there were not five tables in London which showed anything of the kind, for which thirteen shillings was charged. Again, on March the 130), they had some strawberries. From the evidence adduced on behalf of the plaintiff, it appeared that one of the ladies ordered the fruit and the other the vegetables, and that they had never denied being indebted to the plaintiff. They usually came to the shop together, and consulted as to the purchases. In cross•examination it was elicited that goods were sent to the ladies at Bushy, through a Mr. Beaston, ac• cording to their order. It appeared that there were three Misses Dunstan, and that they generally resided together. _ _ - Mr. H. WILD, who was for the defendant, contended that the goods were supplied to the eldest of the three ladies, Miss Sarah Anne, and not to any of the others. Evidence was adduced to show that this was so, in the course of which it was stated that Miss Sarah, at the time this action was brought, was in Hertford gaol. The jury found a verdict for the plantiff for the full amount. EXCHEQUER.- , ,THIS DAY). (Before the CHIEF Bettor; and a Common Jury.) GRUE V. HILL. _ This action was brought to recover compensation in damages for injury sustained by the alleged negligence of the defendant. It appeared that a short time since the plaintiff was proceeding along the Cambridge-load, Hackney, at night, when his foot caught in some grating on the pathway, which it was alleged was in the possession of the defendant, and for the improper construction of which the plaintiff contended he was liable. The plaintiff was in consequence seriously hurt, and was prevented attending to his business for the period of a fortnight. A question arose in the case whether the Commissioners of Sewers, or the con tractor who constructed the sewers, was liable for any accident that might happen. The defendant admitted that he was the contractor, but contended that the liability as to any irregularity in the laying down of the grating attached to the commissioners under whose direc tions he had executed the works. His LORDSHIP, in submitting the case to the jury, ob served, that a person passing along a highway had only a right to expect a reasonable degree of care i❑ the construction of the road, and could by no means expect an exemption from those casualties which was incident to commo❑ humanity. The question in this case was simply to whom the liability attached—whether to the Commissioners of Sewers or the defendant, who admitted he was the contractor. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 51. SECONDARIES'.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary JAMES.) WHAPSHOTT V. DISMORE.-1 SPORTING EET. This was an action to rcoovkr 20/., under the following circumstances : Mr. HUDSON, the plaintiff's attorney, stated the case. In December, 1846, a foot race took place between Powell and East, two well-known pedestrians, and plaintiff betted 201. even on Powell with a gentleman named Upton, and the money was placed in the hands of defendant. After the race plaintiff' insisted that Powell had won, or that it was a "cross," and insisted on having his money back; but the referee having decided that East was the winner defendant refused to give it up. Mr. Pearce and Mr. Drinkwater were called.—The former heard the plaintiff ask defendant to give him back his money, and he said he would do so when he got home. Mr. Drinkwater saw the race, and proved East was first in, but there was a talk of a " cross." Mr. V. Dowling, of Bell's Life in London was called and proved that he was stake holder in the race. He was asked as to the terms of the race, but it appearing that they bad been reduced into writing, it was objected that he could not give evidence until it was proved to have been lost or destroyed. He proved that as far as his personal knowledge went; but Mr. C. Grady, who also had control over the paper was not present to prove that he also had searched; the evidence therefore was re jected. Mr. HILL, Q.C., contended the evidence was insuffi cient to support the count "on an account stated." The parties might have been speaking of other money or bets than this. The UNDER-SHERIFF thought there was just evi dence to go to the jury on, but it would be a dangerous dependance. The plaintiff then elected to be nonsuited. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY.) Mary Ann Adams and Ann Williams were brought before Mr. Hardwick, the former charged with having stolen ten sovereigns from the pocket of Mr. Frederick Paine, Little St. James -street, and the latter charged with being concerned in the same. It appeared from the evidence that the prosecutor had been spending the evening with a friend, and, at half-past one this morning, he was wending his way homewards, rather " jolly" from the wine that he had imbibed. On arriving in Pall-mall the prisoner Adams accosted him, and with many endearing smiles and persuasions, induced him to ac company her to a retired spot in Carlton-gardens, where they held " sweet converse " together for about three minutes, when the fair Mary Ann suddenly bethought herself that she had a friend to meet, and ran off, leaving Mr. Paine in a complete state of mystification. After collecting his scattered ideas he felt in his waistcoat pocket, and discovered that the faithless Mary Ann had robbed him of ten sovereigns. He immediately went in pursuit, and meeting that watchful guardian of the night, 159, succeeded in taking the prisoners into custody just as they were chuckling over their successful roboery. A sovereign was found lying . close by where they were standing, but on searching them at the station only sixteen-pence was found upon them. The prisoners denied th e c h arge i n toto, and said the sovereign found on the pavement was one they had dropped themselves, and were looking for it when the constable came up and took them into custody. Mr. HARDWICK said there was not evidence enough to send them for trial, he must therefore discharge them. Yesterday the Marquis of Westminster presided at that admirably-conducted establishment, St. Peter's College School, Eaton-square, for the distribution of prizes. The highest encomiums were unanimuusly awarded to the head masters, the Rev. Dr. Wilson and the Rev. M. Wilson, M.A„ and their assistants, Mr. Webb, &e., for the proficiency of their numerous pupils. With their learning a love seems to be engendered for their teachers, which always is a strong evidence of kindness on one side and good feeling on the other. The Marquis was justly very lavish of his praise to all par ties; indeed, a more gratifying scene we have seldom witnessed. To have so excellent a school, in connexion with King's College, is a great and real benefit to the neighbourhood, lipid must, while such first-rate instructors are at the head of it, continue to meet that patronage it so deservedly enjoys. The gainers of pri zes were— Masters Wilson, Godson (son of the Memb er f or Kid derminster), Nepean, W e b ster and W. S.

DUBLIN, JUNE 21.—The final meeting of this body took place in the Music-hall, Abbey -street, and was most numerously attended. A change seems to have come over the Confederate& All was peaceable and orderly. The chair was taken by Mr. DENNY LANE, of Cork, who brie fly addressed the meeting. He believed that if the proposed union of Repealers took place, the best re sults to the country from such a happy consummation would result. The Secretary then read a letter from Mr. T. F• Meagher, in wh ic h t h e writer expressed his approva l of en amalgamation at the Repeal Association and the Ruh Confederation, and stated his determination not to ad vance any proposition in the " Irish League" which should give rise to co n t roversy ; b ut outs i de i t was 1111 intention, at all times, in a ll p l aces, an d un d er ever y cir cumstance, to impress on th e p eop l e t h e necess ity of being armed as the only means of putting an end to foreign rule. The letter was received with much sr plause. Mr. J. B. DILLON, barrister, then read, after a few, preliminary observations, an a b stract o f t h e rece ipts and expenditure of the Irish Confederation from its cora'. inencement up to the present date, from which it II: peered that the total r ece ipt s o f t h e b o d y d ur i n g the" time amounted to 9161.8;. ld., and the disbursements 1 ° .912/. 9s.

The Learned Gentleman, after a few preliminary.e h " servations on this subject, and the negotiations pending, observed—At a subsequent meeting of the conference, Mr. J. O'Connell expresed an apprehension that dif ferences of opinion and a co lli s i on wou ld ar i s e le a meeting of the League, from the opinions which wer e likely to be put forward by• the leading members of th e Irish Confederation. He said, for instance that whe n Mr. Meagher expr esse d hi s o pi n i on , t h at i t was only .14 arms that the union could be repealed, and enforced the necessity of taking arms, he should be under the neees: sity of rising and cont rover ti ng t h at pos i t i on , an d an I th pleasant discussion would necessarily arise. The Rev. Mr. O'MAILEY addressed the meeting l it some length, and in the course of his observations r e. commended the formation of clubs and sections of club , . Mr. DILLON again rose and moved the following re„se . lotion " with a view of preventing misapprehension: Resolved, " That we disclaim the notion that the nre l ,, hers of either of the existing repeal bodies are gat? of . any abandonme n t o f t h e i r pr i nc i ples in enter i ng late a joint association bas e d on t h e pu bli she d pr i nc i p le!? the Irish League. And, therefore, no journal or inc r . dual is authorised to define the policy of the League. Mr. O'GORMAN and Mr. MAGEE having spoken, a . Mr. C. G. DUFFY detailed at some length the preeee— ings which took place at the conferenee appointed.T arrange the preliminaries for the formation of the Itis a l League, and announced that Mr. John O'Connell b ile expressed his desire to retire into private life, es l , l , i , country had unequivocally pronounced against him. G od announcement was received with loud cries of " which speed him," and the most enthusiastic applause, wo.g r continued for several minutes. On concluding , . • Duffy moved " that the Irish Confederation do a djourn sine die, but that a cer t a i n num b er o f gentlemen sh etl y, continue to act as a counc il t ill t h e League be fortnee•_,, The meeting shortly a ft erwar d s separate d i n the most peaceable and orderly manner.

THE OLD CLOISTERS AT WESTMINSTER ABERT:--- Workmen have now commenced pulling down the build ings surrounding the cloisters at Westminster, for the purpose of making way for the rapid progress of the new Houses of Parliament, and for enabling them to re store this most interesting part of the old palace, the beau tiful stone sculpture of which has been the admiration of centuries. ALARMING ACCIDENT TO A LADY.—About two o'clock, on Wednesday afternoon last, as Miss Rowland of this town was walking along the London-road, she suddenly discovered that her dress was on fire; She hastened across the road, and entering the dwelling house of Mr. Cornish, entreated him to extinguish the flames. This individual, however, requested Miss Row' land to quit his house immediately (fearing, as we up' derstand, that his house might be ignited); she therefore sat duwn upon the pathway, and requested something might be wrapped round her, which we believe lees quickly done, with the assistance of Mr. Cornish; whil e a gentleman who happened to be passing had wate r thrown upon the dross, and the fire was happily extifl" guished, without doing the slightest injury to • her- Feeling uncomfortable from the exposed position sh e . was in, Miss Rowland immediately ord e red a cab, but $ ll this time Miss Bianchi passed in one of these vehicles, and on seeing Miss Rowland's position, begged her I° take a seat with her, and conveyed her safely hostler' Ipswich Express.

The electoral law will be founded on the principle of universal suffrage.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE-FRIDAY. The quantity of English Wheat on sale, to-day, was limited. Selected quantities, of both red and white moved off steadily, at prices quite equal to those paid on Monday last. The middling and inferior kinds were in moderate request, at late rates. From abroad, 4,310 quarters of Wheat have arrived this week. Fine dry parcels were quite as dear; but all other qualities were a slow sale, at previous quotations. Upwards of 14,000 quarters of foreign Barley have come to hand. That article was excessively dull, at a fall in prices of Is. per quarter. Malt was dull in sale, but not cheaper. An immense quantity of Oats has come fresh to hand; hence the trade was heavy, at a fall in value of quite 6d. per - quarter. Foreign Beans were Is. lower, with a heavy inquiry. In Peas, Indian Corn and Meal, next to nothing was doing. Flour as last advised. English • • • • • • Irish. ........ Foreign ...... 4,310 THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1848
