isitinence of his spiritual rank, is superior to all "others. Consequently, no more apprehensions need entertained of mad and impious ambitions, "hough the reasons of time and the progress of civilization may permit them to burst into existence. Bat tempor a l goo d s, a f ter a ll , are b u t h uman acces sories to that divine religion whose empire exists in the heart and in the intellect. Then the Italian re generation will most effectively revive everywhere the bloom of the Catholic tenets, it will put an end to the fatal reign of infidelity, and pave the way to the religious unity of Europe and the world, in the Sa me manner as the political decline of Italy co-ope rs ted at first in causing the Christian schism of the IliZteellth century, and afterwards the irreligious 4.oetrines of the following ages, the civil restora tion of the Peninsula and the re-establishment of oar supremacy will produce contrary effects. Since 1n our day s , w h en we w i s h t o reconc il e the mind with f aith, we can use no - stronger argument than by showing it to be the best instrument for civilizing and regenerating the nations—and what nation can , sb inlP with greater authority such a miracle than 41 41 the queen of the peoples, and the abode of the divine oracles ?—this is the best consolation, ° Romans ! and the best stimulus you can have to proceed with alacrity in the magnanimous enter- P ri se. What would liberal institutions avail you, 'what would union and other civil advantages, if they Were not accompanied by hope ? And what is the good of th e presen t f e li c ity, un l ess it b e aggregated With that of the future ? The generous affections 411 . d I t B pirations of the present century have not their limit in themselves, and are almost a preparative to a osmore distant goal, which we can only perceive r ough the assistance of religion. It is thus that J ° lir Wonderful city is rich in stupendous ruins, te rQi ncling us of times gone by, as well as in edi fices and monumen t s no less admirable, the represen !Mums of modern grandeur. Thus the Sacred City raises ter bead above the Profane City, and with the obe ,s and the pinnacles of her basilicas guides the eyes ° 1 tho se who contemplate her from the finite to the I 116n ites from time to eternity, and from earth to heaven.

CITY, QUARTER• TO THREE. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday the sales were 3,000 to 4,500 bales. Prices had still a downward tendency. American realised 3id. to 34e1. per lb. Railway Shares were very flat, and the quotations still drooped. There appears to be nothing in the continental advices calculated to strengthen confidence in the settling down of political affairs in Germany, but the prostrate condition of Austria bids fair for the early emancipation of Italy. The Danes are stated to be in a critical position having the German forces nearly round them; but if so, their powerful allies may probably come to the rescue. The Bank of' England, it appears, without any formal intimation upon the subject, is charging, in some cases, as its minimum rate, three per cent. for advances upon Bills and Stock until the dividends are paid. As there is no want of money in the City, and parties have for some time past been enabled to procure accommodation upon terms as low as those above-mentioned, from most of the discount houses, the effect of the Bank policy is chiefly to indicate the impression that the money market is likely to continue easy. In reference to a eubjeet involving a very large amount of money, viz., the claims of tradesmen upon railway and other companies, a pamphlet has appeared which will prove welcome to the unfortunate parties whc, by the "glorious uncertainty" of the law, or rather of its administration, have been unable to obtain payment of their claims. The title of the brochure, the "Conflicting Judgments in recent actions against Provisional Com mitteemen freely discussed," will explain its object, and possibly may attract attention in the right quarter. The contrary decisions already given are a positive disgrace to our courts. As the writer fairly remarks — "Now let us look at the opinions held by those very judges. In the beginning of 1846 we find Baron Parke in a case tried at Maidstone thus reported : " Mr. Baron Parke told the jury, by consenting to act as a provisional committeeman, the defendant gave au thority to the secretary to give all orders for matters which were necessary for the promotion of the company, and that therefore the defendant was answerable for orders so given; and left it for the jury (as the only question) to say whether those orders were so given. "In Barnett v. Burdett, the first of the cases brought forward, and which was tried on the 20th of January, 1846, the learned and eminent counsel who appeared for the defendant scarcely attempted to deny bis responsi bility, and Baron Alderson, the presiding Judge, de clared that there was not the least doubt about the matter—that the defendant was responsible as soon as he became a member of the Provisional Committee, and that when a man becomes a member of the Provisional Committee, from that moment he is liable for con tracts for the company ; and the man who enters into these contracts for the company stands in the position of agent for the Committee. This view was sanctioned by the Chief Baron, on the trial of Williams v. Bradley, which took place the following month, and was unanimously confirmed by the full Court of Ex chequer, who refused to set aside the verdict obtained by the plaintiff. This latter judgment, which was arrived at coolly and deliberately, after hearing full argument, and without the hurry incidental to nisi-prius decisions, declared that it was well left to the jury to say whether the defendant, by joining the Committee had sanctioned the supply of goods from the period, and that there was no ground for dis turbing the verdict, and yet, notwithstanding the opin ions so strongly expressed, and at the time universally received and acted on, we find the matter again involved in doubt and perplexity." The English Stock Market has a firm appearance this morning, and prices are again * per cent. higher. The concession made by the Bank of England, together with the activity of Government in arresting the disturbers of the public peace, has the effect of making holders firm, while speculators calculate upon purchases being made for the dividends next due. The payment of the in terest at Paris is also regarded as a satisfactory feature. Consols are 841 to I. Exchequer-bills have been 345. to 38s. premium, being an advance. Bank Stock is worth 191 to 1921. The Foreign Securities have been very quiet. Spanish have been 221 for the Three per Cents., and 12 for the Five per Cents. ; Mexican are 151 to 4 ; Russian have been 861; and Danish, 63 to 65 ; Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. are 421. Railway Shares are steady this morning, and have an apparent tendency to advance, although very little is doing. ONE CLOSING t•RICES OF BRITISH FUNDS. O'CLOCK. FRICES.

Zajencki, P.P., went this day, at eleven o'clock, to the mayor, in order to consult with him about the manner of billeting the troops. On entering his house some soldiersiof the Bth regiment of infantry knocked him down the steps, kicked him, tore his coat, and beat him unmercifully with their fists and the butt-ends of their muskets ; one of them fired his musket at him, and no doubt he would have been killed, had not two officers hastened to his assistance and led him, streaming with blood from several wounds in the head to his house. POSEN, Ms' 23.—This day a batch of Polish pri soners, liberated from the fortress and provided with passports, were let out by the Warsaw-gate. Not withstanding that a sergeant from the 7th company and liith regiment, with a private called Lose, being there on guard, shut the outer and inner palisaded gates, and began to cut away at random at the unarmed prisoners. Not satisfied with beating them with the flat of their swords, Lose hacked these unarmed men with the back of his blade, whilst the sergeant knocked them with the handle of his sword in the face and on the head. This fact can be attested by the whole detachment on guard during the night of the 22d and 23d of May, and the woman Milewska living No. 104, Zawady. POSEN, MAY 24.—The land-steward at Drzonek, in the district of Obornik, having concealed himself in order to evade the cruelty of an approaching de tachment of troop s , th e latter, suspecting him to be concealed in a barn, set fire to it. The poor man, feeling his clothes nearly burning, rushed out and was seized. The barn was burned to the ground. The troops repo r t e d t h at i t h a d taken fire from a musket going off by chance during t h e search, although they w ere seen purpose ly firing repeated shots into the that c h. The district co mm i ssary , th e proprietor of the village, and the inhabitants of it, can swear to the correctness of the above statement. The innkeeper at Miloslawice, in the district of Wongrowiec, is at the same time forest-guard. When the troops entered Mil os l aw i ce , the blacksmith of the village, a German, denounced the innkeeper as ha vin g treated with whisky th e scy th em en when they were leaving for the c amp . Th e so ldi e rs went to the inn, and heard, on inquiry, from his unsuspecting wife, that he had gone to the wood. They followed, and beat him to such a degree that he is now in a hope less state. They hanged him upon a rope made of birch twigs, and when nearly choked they cut him down. Some labourers who witnessed his tortures approached the spot as soon as the soldiers were gone, and carried the unfortunate victim of military bar barity to his house. Madame Brodnicka, the pro prietress of the village, procured immediate surgical assistance, but spite of all efforts there is no hope of his recovery. The whole community can confirm the above on oath.—Gazette Polska, May 27. NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.--The Firebrand steam • frigate, Captain Hope, came into harbour to coal this morning, and re-anch ore d at Spithead at a:little after 12. The Seaflower cutter sailed last night for Jersey. The Howe, 120, Capt a i n Si r James Stirling, will not sail to-morrow as anticipated. Wind, S.W. by S., fresh breeses, and cloudy weather. ROYAL MARINES. The inspection of this division commenced yesterday. In consequence of the indisposition of Lord Fitzclarence, Colonel Owen, the Deputy-Adjutant - General, is the in specting officer; he yesterday visited the new barracks at Forton, and saw the recruits under arms, exam i ne d the company's pay-books and accounts, and minutely inspected every part of the quarters; this morning he saw the artillery companies under arms in the Victual ling Store barracks, visited the barrack -rooms at the men's dinner hour, and inspected the books, B‘c., in the orderly-room. At 3 P.M. the field batteries were re viewed on &nal:sea-common. In the evening Colonel- Commandant Gibson entertained the Deputy-Adj u t ant - General and a brilliant staff of officers at a sum p t uous and hospitable dinner , t o which also the gl ite of the gar rison were invited. Pfrom racke, is to be r e li eve d imme head-quarters; an d t h at &th ' t i The Artillery comp an y stationed at Woolwich, under diatelyih o e n e command da tby Pembroke,C another under Captain Dwy e r, w ill b e re- a re lieved immediately after the inspection of that detach ment has taken place. The Sandford hired troop-ship, arrived off Deal, sq days out, left the Cape of Good Hope on the 14th of April, at a quarter•past eight o'clock, and St. Helena on the 25th, with the head-quarters of the 7th Dragoon Guards on board , also a few invalids from the Rifles, 45th, and Sappers, under the command of Major Sir 11. Darnel ; also Lieutenant C. Codrington Forsyth, R.N., late of her Majesty's ship President, who had been lent for service on shore with the army dur ing the late war in Kaffirland. At the time of the Sandford's le avin g , the und ermentioned ships of-war i " ;od the Geyser ere; atSimons s n er ands Bay 11 ;—Thetsaom President, flag ; the Rosamond, steam-sloops. It was reported the President and the two steam sloops would leave on the 17th for Madagascar, leaving the Nimrod, Commander Belgrave, as senior officer. The Kafirs were very peaceably inclined. The Chief Kreli had lately sent in, and offered to make restitution to the missionaries of Butterworth for the losses they had sus tained during the war, amounting to some 7001. or 8001. A slight commotion has taken place amongst the Boers near the Orange River, but a proclamation from the Go vernor had put e verything to rights. The Governor, Sir 11. Smith, was extremely popular with all parties; a sub scription was being entered into all over the colony to erect a statue to his honour. Her Majesty's brig Ner budda, from Bombay, sailed from St. Helena the same day as the Sandford, for Ascension and England; also the Queen, with troops on board, from India. APPOINTMENTS.

THE GRAND JURY AND TREASURER OF THE COUNTY OF Anlsacts.—At the Spring Assizes for the county of Armagh, the Grand Jury refused to present for the instalment demanded by the Commis sioners of the Board of Works, in repayment of the advances made by the Treasury, under the Labour-rate Act. On application on the part of the Crown, the Chief Justice, and Judges Crampton and Moore, this day gave judgment, commanding that a mandamus should issue against the parties to compel them to com ply with the provisions of the Act. Judge Perrin dissented from his brethren on the Bench, and declared that, in consequence of some am biguities in the certificate from the Board of Works, he was of opinion that the mandamus should not issue. STATE OF SKIBBEREEN. A correspondent of the Corh Examiner gives the fol lowing description of the condition of Skibbereen:— " On the footpaths may be seen lying crowds of squa lid beings, whose tattered rags are insufficient to protect them from the burning rays of the sun. Others swarm about the shops with supplicating looks. Some weeks since a steam-mill, the property of Mr. Marmion, was consumed by fire. A quantity of Indian corn was also destroyed. The rubbish was subsequently removed out side the walls. Since that period hundreds of miserable women may be seen watching an opportunity to plunge into the ruins and carry off by stealth a few grains al ready reduced to cinders. I saw them overturn and carefully pick large heaps, and their reward was a few burned grains. This has been the employment of hun dreds for the last three weeks." ARREST OF MR. MEAGHER. As Mr. Meagher was proceeding at the head of his club (the Grattan), yesterday evening, he was stopped by the police, who refused to let th e mem b ers walk two abreast, but offered to let them pass singly. An alter cation took place and some blows were given, when Mr. Meagher was arrested and taken to Sackville police station, where he was charged with having assaulted a police-constable in the discharge of his duty. Mr. Meagher was, immediately after the charge, libe rated on his own recognizances. - - -- - ----- THE CHARTISTS AND ARREST OF SOME ORATORS.—Ernest J ones, Williams, Fussel, and THEI R I) THEIRwere arrested y es t er d ay, and were examined at Bow: street, ordered to find bail, and meanwhile lodged in Newgate. The full effect of this decisive measure ap pears to have been shown in the preservation of the public peace. Last night Clerkenwell-grecn, which, for the previous fortnight, has been in a state of constant agitation, from the frequent meetin g s of the Chartists, assumed its usual appearance. During the evening there were but six policemen on duty, and who had only to patrol the locality. A large body of the G division, however, were at the station in the Bagnigge-wells road, in readiness, lest their services should have been required, and who attended there as early as seven o'clock in the evening. The usual places of rendezvous of the Chartist leaders at Farringdon Hall, the National Hall, the institution in the Blackfriars-road, &c., were entirely deserted. After the termination of the pro ceedings at Bow-street, at which there was a numerous attendance of the -friends of the prisoners, these pro ceeded to their several lodges, evidently much discon certed as to the course that should be adopted under the existing circumstances. It is expected that, in conse quence of the determined steps of the Government, the demonstration intended for Whit- onday will not be earned into effect. THE APFREHENSION OF ERNEST JONES.—Our readers are already aware that, at a Chartist meeting last night, Mr. Ernest Jones, of London, " barrister-at law," was the principal speaker. This (Wednesday) morning, at seven o'clock, Inspector Haynes, of the A division of the metropolitan police, waited on the mayor with a note from the Home-office, requesting that the mayor would direct that every assistance should be given to the officer in apprehending Ernest Jones. The officer was the bearer of a warrant, signed by Mr. Jardine, the magistrate of the Bow-street Police-court, and we pre.. sumo the offence with which Jones is charged is that of seditious speaking at a meeting in London, which, by the recently passed statute, is a felony, punishable with transportation. The mayor immediately communicated with Mr. Beswick, chief superintendent of police, who. accompanied Inspector Haynes to the Mosley Arms llotel, where Ernest Jones was staying. They found him just up and dressed; and having acquainted him that they held a warrant for his apprehension, he quietly surrendered, and the London officer, accompanied by Mr. Beswick, proceeded with him in a coach to the London-road railway station, and conveyed him by the nine o'clock train to London. The officers also took possession of his luggage, which they sealed and con veyed with them.—Third Edition of the Manchester Guardian. CHARTIST MEETING IN MANCIIESTEU.—A Char tist meeting was held on Tuesday evening in the City Music-hall, Camp•tield. About 1,200 were present. Wm. Grocott presided. Daniel Donovan explained his con duct on Wednesday, and was applauded. Mr. Ernest Jones, " barrister-at-law," addressed the meeting at great length, detailing a plan of organization, by which 500,000 men could be promptly assembled, without issuing a placard ; and expressed his belief that Mit chel and Frost, Williams and Jones would soon re turn, and Russell, Palmerston, and Co., be sent away in their places.—(Cheers.) He announced a Chartist 1 camp meeting on Sunday next, on Blackstone Edge, and the proceedings then terminated.—Manchester Guardian. COURT CIRCULAR.

The Master-General, the Commandant, and the staff of officers, proceeded to the front of the Repository Grounds, and waited there about twenty minutes, until the arrival of the Major-General his Royal Highness Prince George of Cambridge, his Royal Highness Duke George of Mecklenburgh Strelits, and his Royal High ness the Prince of Hesse, and then accompanied the royal visitors to the common, where the Royal Horse Artillery were drawn up in review order, under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Bell. The exercise of the guns, and the evolutions of this branch of the corps, were gone through with great celerity, precision, and effect. Their Royal Highnesses appeared much gratified, and with the Gallant Marquis, the Commandant, and staff, galloped to every position taken up by the Royal Artil lery, to have a closer inspection of the manmuvres, in stead of remaining at the staff-flag, as usual on former occasions. After the review on the common, their Royal High nesses proceeded to the mortar battery, where they wit nessed excellent practice with mortars and howitzers firing at a flag•staff 150 yards distant, the gunners being under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel Wavle. On leaving the mortar battery, their Royal Highnesses visited the barrack-rooms of the men, and then entered the mess-room, where they partook of an elegant d4jeune with the officers of the garrison. At three o'clock the royal visitors proceeded to the marshes, and witnessed firing from a garrison battery 700 yards dis tant from the target, and from two of Captain Grant's 9-pounder guns tor the itoyal Horse Ai am.. j , cgwol in weight only to the former 6-pounder guns of that branch of service. The practice was also carried on with these guns with a howitzer, and a field battery of 9-pounder guns, at 1,100 and at 1,200 yards range; and the firing was excellent and effective at the latter distance. A number of rockets were discharged from Boxer's tube and salvos from the ground, and practice carried on at the ricochet battery. The royal visitors left immediately after the rockets were fired, being desirous of returning to London by six o'clock. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. In compliance with the wish, as it was stated, of several suburban residents, a morning performance was announced to take place yesterday, at Covent-garden Theatre, of the Nozze di Figaro. The house probably would have been filled had this chef d'ccuvre of Mozart been played, but the " sudden indisposition" of Grisi occasioned the substitution of the Cenerentola, and con sequently the attendance was comparatively small. The audience at first expressed considerable dissatisfaction at the change, hut the delicious singing of Alboni soon put them into good temper, and they forgot the disappoint ment they had experienced. An excuse was made at the outset of the entertainment for Salvi, on the score of hoarseness. This popular tenor, however, seemed hardly to require the services of an apologist, for there was but little indication of vocal incompetence in the style with which he delivered the music. Alboni was encored in the largo which introduces the famous " Non piu mesta." LYCEUM THEATRE. The hero of the farce entitled Anything for a Change, brought out last night at this theatre, is a Mr. Swop ping ton —a personage endowed with the inconvenient propensity of coveting everything that is not his own— his neighbour's watch, stick, servant, or coat, no matter which, and to obtain the evanescent object of his wishes he is anxious to buy or swop, as the case may be. Now, his friend Honeyball, urged by certain inscrutable mo tives, perceives in him a desirable husband for his sister, and, in order to accommodate matters to his peculiarity, instructs his wife and sister to exchange places, knowing that Mrs. Honeyball, because she is Mrs. Huneybali, will be likely to attract the notice of the mercurial suitor rather than some one who is not already appropriated. And so it turns out. And it also turns out that Mr. Honeyball is made jealous, but that is soon cleared up, and the whimsical Swoppington finds himself matrimo nially engaged, when lie calculated only on an elope ment. Such a piece as this, it is clearly apparent, depends for its salvation solely upon the quickness and neatness of the acting. The capricious bwoppington is repre sented with eligible liveliness by Charles Mathews, who creates a great deal of diversion by his brisk mutabili ties and constitutional disregard of the obligations of meum and tuurn. His friend Honeyball, who prides him self on being " a man of intellect," is equally well sus tained by Harley, whose nervous and spasmodic alarm when he fancies that his scheme has not taken the di rection ho intended, is highly comic. Miss Kathleen Fitzwilliam plays the young lady who absorbs the fan tastic Honeyball very prettily—taking occasion to sing a ballad or two, and to exhibit some dexterous facilities on the pianforte. The farce looks as if it were a translation from the French, whether it is so or not, report assigns it to Mr. Shirley Brooke. SPECIAL CONSTABLES.—Yesterday, pursuant to notice for the renewal of the warrants of special con stables, and the appointment of others, the magistrates of several police offices were engaged in this duty. The appointments are to continue in force for six months on this occasion instead of three as on the last. The re mainder of this and the whole of the following week have been fixed by the magistrates for swearing in special constables. Bell's Life in London, Sunday, June 11, will give the most correct original account of the four days' Ascot Races, including engravings of the cups.—Price of Bell's Life, 40 folio columns, 6d. Bell's Life, as a sporting journal, is unequalled in the extent and accu racy of its details of all matters interesting to the sport ing community. The sale exceeds 27,000. It is the best medium for advertising races, coursing, steeple chases, regattas, stallions, horses, dogs, and sporting books, and, in fact, everything to which it is desirable the eye of the sportsman should be attracted. The terms are—for advertisements not exceeding seven lines, 7s. ; all above that, is. a line. A single advertisement in Bell's Life may be equal to half a dozen insertions in some journals.—Office, 170, Strand. RETURN OF LORD lIOWDEN FRONI THE BRAZILS. — His Excellency Lord Howden arrived at Portsmouth last night hi her Majesty's steamer Firubrand, having left Rio de Janeiro on the 28th of April. By this arrival we hear of th e ef f ects of the news upon the Braids of the revolutionary affairs of continental Europe, which were unexpectedly astounding. French business was stopped; monetary business was suspended; and a blank Bourse on their part was all but the result. The exchange with England was at 25 to -1. The Emperor was in Rio, much affected b y the expatriation of the House of Bour bon, with which he is so closely allied. The affairs of La Plata are mending, but so slowly as to be almost imperceptible. His Royal Highness the Duke of Saxe Weimar and suite embarked at Blackwall yesterday morning, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's steam ship Giraffe, for Rotterdam. 11AMBURGH 1 HAMBURGH, JUNE 3.—Very little business was done on the Bourse to-day. The exchanges, however, and especially in funds, were firm. VIENNA, MAY 31.—The rising tendency prevailed to• day, and nearly all the funds' closed higher. BERLIN, JUNE 4.—ln our own Bourse to-day there is a great improvement, and the funds are not so fluc tuating as hitherto. There was a good deal of anima tion in Prussian Bank shares. Foreign funds have again risen very sensibly. FRANKFORT, MAY 31.—The settlements for the end of May are very considerable. Austrian funds were lower. Integral and all railway shares have improved. —Prussian State Anzieyer, June 3. HAMBURGH BORSENHALLE, 'Tula 3t' Bills. Itionr.

The annual meeting of this company was held yester day, at the office, New Broad-street. The proceedings were merely formal, the undertaking having been dis posed of about two years ago to the South-Eastern Rail way Company, and the purchase money having been since paid to the company and distributed amongst the shareholders, consequently there remained but little to do. The business consisted in the adoption of a report which gave an account of the liquidation, since the last meeting, of certain outstanding claims on the company. BELGIAN EASTERN JUNCTION. The adjourned meeting of the shareholders was held yesterday, at the London Tavern ; Colonel Sir F. Smith in the chair. A long conversation took place, but no business was transacted, as no legal meeting can be constituted till the shareholders have exchanged the bankers' receipts for certificates of shares. The general feeling of the proprietors appeared to be in favour of dissolving the company altogether, which can only be done by the votes of three-fifths of the share holders of the company, with the consent of the Belgian Government. The directors were not opposed to the measure if legally carried out, but the chairman ex pressed no hope of the caution-money being returned in that event. It was stated that no objection would be raised to any shareholders exchanging their beakers receipts for certificates in respect of a part only of their shares, there being an apprehension on the part of some proprietors that the operation tended to increase their liability, when their chief object was the abandonment of the scheme. The proceedings concluded with a vote of thanks to the directors. THE LANCASHIRE AND YORKSHIRE AND GREAT NORTHERN. The opening of the Askern branch of the Wake field, Pontefract, and Goole Railway, and also of about four miles of the Great Northern, took place on Monday, the bth instant. The Wakefield and Goole line is a branch from the Lancashire and Yorkshire (late Leeds and Manchester), and the Askern branch forms a junction with the Wakefield and Goole at Knottingley, from whence it proceeds to Askern, a well-known bathing place, about six miles from Doncaster. At the terminus a little beyond Ae kern a junction is formed with a part of the Great Northern, north of Doncaster, which is now com pleted within a mile and a half of that town, thus forming a direct communication from this point (the, first by railway from Doncaster), to Leeds, Manchestet Liverpool, Bradford, Huddersfield, and the north generally. The Wakefield, Pontefract, and Goole line was opened about six weeks since, and since then several trains have been running daily from each ter minus. The Askern branch is expected to be the main line from London to Leeds, &c., as soon as certain portions of the Great Northern are com pleted. It commences at Knottingley, a large vil lage famous for its limestone quarries and canal navigation, and proceeds from thence to Wimeraley, where it passes the seat of Lord Hawke, the lord of the manor, whose fox. hunting zeal is well known for a considerable distance. The line next passes Stapleton Park, the villages of Wentbridge, Stubbs, Walden, and Little Smeaton, and crosses the river Went. It next ap proaches Norton, Campsall, and Askern. This has for some years been a watering-place, and famous for its cele brated mineral springs, which are frequently resorted to for scrofulous, rheumatic, and gouty complaints. Here the line terminates at a place called Reedholme Wood, where the Great Northern runs into it, and thus the route is completed to Stockbridge, about a mile and a half from Doncaster, that small , distance being expected to be opened in a few weeks. In order to convey passengers northwards, a line is contemplated between Knottingley and Burton-Salmon, a distance of about three miles ; an Act for this has already been obtained, and until this line is made, an omnibus will run between those two places. It is ex pected, however, that ultimately the Great Northern Company will make their line direct from Doncaster, through Aolzorn, Sothy, kr. , to York. and so make an independent line throughout. The whole of the pro ceedings passed off without any accident. UNIVERSITY IN TELL IGEN CE. CAMBRIDGE, JUNE G. At the Congregation holden this day, the following degrees were conferred : _ BACHELORS OF ARTS.—Thomas Guest Forrest, St. Peter's College; Francis James Armitage, Christ's Col lege ; Thomas Negus Burke, Catherine Hall; James Goodday, Queen's College; Frederick Henry Richard Lateward, Queen's College; James Chadwick, Queen's College; John Frederick Evans Holloway, Trinity Col lege ; Edward Cragg Haynes, Trinity College; Arthur Edward Polhill, Christ's College; Ebenezer B. Howell, Corpus College; Frederick Robert Kite, St. Peter's Col lege; George Waddington, Emmanuel College ; John. Joynes, Emmanuel College ; Thomas Clark Bretting ham, Emmanuel College. BOULOGNE-SUR-MER, JUNE 6.—The present aspect of this once crowded watering place forms a most strik ing contrast to that which it presented before the revo lution. No crowds assemble, jostling each other, to witness the arrival of steamers; the departure of vessels is no longer accompanied by waving of hats and hand kerchiefs ! The natives make great complaints —many declare they are ruined, and feel sorely the blank occa sioned by the absence of les Anglais. EAST INDIA HOUSE.—The transfer books of East India Stock closed on Tuesday last, and will open again on Thursday, the 13th of July. NATIONAL GALLERY.—THE VERNON COLLECTION. —Yesterday the trustees of the National Gallery for the exhibition of the Vernon Collection, at Mr. Vernon's house, No. 50. Pall-mall, gave notice that the issue of tickets of admission at the National Gallery, to view this collection would take place on Mondays, to admit on Tuesdays, and on Wednesdays, to admit on Thursdays, and not on the first four days of the week, as previously determined. DARING BURGLARY AT ROCHESTER.—After a few weeks of repose, the inhabitants of Rochester and its vicinity have been again awakened from their fancied security by the return of some of those nightly ma rauders by which the neighbourhood had been for some time infested, and who at the time were driven away by increased vigilance on the part both of the authorities and inhabitants. Early on Sunday morning the Glean ings, the mansion of J. Espinasse, Esq., the recorder of Rochester, was entered through a window in the back part of the house, by forcing off the fastenings, the thieves visiting many of the rooms, and among them one adjoining that in which Mr. Espinasse was sleeping, and in whose room there also was a dog, ransacking in their course every spot in which they thought it likely that valuables might be deposited, possessing themselves of a lady's gold watch set with pearls, several silver coins and copper tokens, silver sugar tongs, bearing the crest, three Taglioni coats, a watch stand, and other articles, with which they made their escape unobserved. Other pre mises were also visited, most probably by the same par ties, from the marks of the instrument used or the occasion, and from other circumstances. An attempt was made the same night to obtain an entrance into the house of Mr. Greenwood, silversmith, in the High street; to accomplish which the thieves sealed the wall of Mr. Caddell's garden, after having in vain endea voured to force the lock on the outside, and which, after having gained admittance, they wrenched from the gat es , and threw into the cattle market. They then crossed the garden of the Rev. G. Davies, by climbing over two walls, and leaving evident traces of their course, and scattering several lucifer matches in their way. O n reaching the back of Mr. Greenwood's house, they threw open the back parlour window, which happened to have been left unfastened, but the shutters lined with iron proved too much for them, and they then got on the root of the kitchen in order to obtain an entrance by an upper window, and here, from the slippery state of the roof they appear to have had some difficulty, as the slates bear the marks of both hands and feet, which evidently with difficulty maintained their hold, and that only for a short time, as the gutters by which they endeavoured to maintain their position had given way, and the thieves retreated without effecting their purpose, or disturbing any of the inmates. Two auspicious -looking characters were seen on the common between twelve and one o'clock close to the spot where they scaled the first-mentioned wall. DECISION UVDER THE NEW FACTORY . ACT.—. Messrs. Jones, brothers, and Company, of Mosley-street in this town, and also of Bedford, in the parish of Leigh, were summoned to appear at the Atherton Petty Ses sions, by David Jones, sub-inspector of factories of the Bolton district, upon two informations of working a female, and also a young person, for more than ten hours in one 'day. Mr. Sanderson, Mr. Turner Greene, and Mr. Sylvester, were the magistrates present. Mr. Gas kell, of Bolton, opened the case at great length, contend • ing that the sy stem of working relay s of hands was con trary to law, and that the time every person worked in a mill must be computed from the time the engine first started in the morning until stopping time at night, with the exception of one uniform period of meals. Mr. Ovens, barrister, who was instructed by Messrs. Slater and Heelis, contended that Messrs. Jones had not violated the law, inasmuch as the Legislature never contemplated so stringent a construction being put upon the Act as to prevent a system of relays. The bench declared they were unanimously of opinion they could not convict the Messrs. Jones. 'The case was, therefore, dismissed.— Manchester Examiner.
