(Before the Y/Cle CIIANCELLOR Of ENGLAND.) STILES W. GREY. The further arguments in this part-beard case, which came before his Honour upon exceptions and further di rections occupied the Court the whole day. (Before the Vice Chancellor WIGRAM.) RAWLINGS V. liIOSS.-JUDGMENT. His HONOUR gave Judgment this morning is the case which came before him yesterday upon the question of the validity of a plea. The bill was filed to revive the suit against the personal representatives of a defendant in the original suit who had died. The defendant to the bill of revivor put in a plea alleging that the deceased defendant to the original bill had never entered an ap pearance thereto. Mr. SpENcE and Mr. WzßsTlia for the plea sub mitted that the defendant could only be proceeded against by original bill, as until appearance by a de fendant there was no suit to revive against his represen tatives. The SOLICITOR•GENERAL and Mr. WRIGHT, in sup port of the bill, stated that the deceased defendant, whether a formal appearance had been entered or not, had appeared in the original suit by her solicitor, and that several decress and orders had been made in the suit, she being so represented. LES HONOUR this morning stated, after going shortly into the case, that he was clearly of opinion that the plea was insufficient, sad that it must therefore be over ruled. Nothing worthy of special notice occurred in the Court of the Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce.

TUB OAR AND TUX ASH LEAF.—A correspon dent sends us the following :—" Souse observers of na ture have broached the theory, that the future character of the summer is indicated by the relative periods at which the oak and the ash put forth their leaves in spring. If the oak has the start a dry summer may be expected—if the ash is much ahead, wet weather is to predominate. Now this season the oak is so far ahead as to test the matter, and if the theory is well founded, the summer should be very dry ; if it prove so, the sub ject will deserve more particular attention, and may be useful in many ways hereafter. In connexion with the foregoing, it may be observed that a dry summer is ge• nerally productive of a good crop of wheat ; it prevents the plant from exhausting itself in straw, and is propi tious to the blooming and kearning process, and of course indispensable to its being well harvested. It produced an excellent crop last year, and greatly contributed to the important reduction of price.—W. C.-29, 5 mo., 1848." —Plymouth Journal.

IHREGELAn PUNISHMENTS IN THE NAVY.--We stated a abort time since that the Admiralty were determined to put down all irregular punishments in the navy. It will be seen by the following cautionary document that their Lordships have practically followed up their ex pressed determination : May 31, 1848.—The Lords Commissioners of the Admiralty regret to observe that with a view to avoid corporal punishments, a system of secondary punish ments severe in their nature, and contrary to the usages of the service, has been adopted in some of her Majos ty 'a ships. "They cannot but consider that such a practice, how ever plausible, or even praiseworthy, the motives that have led to it, is contrary to the rules established for the good of the service and the due protectionof all engaged; and they consequently direct that in future a bank shall be kept in all her Majesty's ships, to be called the " Je faulter s Book," in which the nature and degree of every offence committed, with the punishment awarded in each case, to every person onboard under the rank of quarter. deck officer shall be entered. The captain, or other officer in command of the ship, will be held responsible for the proper keeping of this book, and the correctness of the entries made in it, and he is to produce it when ever his ship is inspected by a senior officer, or whenever he may be required to do so by superior authority. "Their Lordships take this opportunity to impress upon all commanding-officers the necessity of holding themselves accountable for each and all of the minor punishments inflicted upon those under their command, and et confining themselves strictly within the limits which the usage and the customs of the service prescribe. They are part of the system by which discipline must bt maintained, and my Lords will always hold it to be the imperative duty of an officer in command to make him self acquainted with the most trifling punishment in flicted on board his ship, and to satisfy himself as to their justice and necessity.

She was launched on the sth of February, commissioned on the 20th, and sailed *en the 29th of the same month. She did not call at the Cape, and has come in forty days from St. Helena, and thi rt y tive from Ascension. Both islands were very healthy; there were no men of war at the former; at the latter were the Penelope steam-frigate, Captain Jones, with the Commodore, Sir Charles Hotham, on board; the Amphitrite, 25, Captain R. Eden; the Tortoise store lnd guard-ship, Captain Hutton; the Sealark, 10, Com mander Money penny; and the Bunetta brigantine, Lieut.- Commander Forbes. A court-martial had been held upon a Second Master, and resulted in the prisoner being found guilty of the charges brought against him, and dismissed his ship. The r , quadron on the coast was very healthy. We regret to announce the death, three days prior to the arrival of the Nerbudda at Ascension, of Commander R. T. L. Levinge, of the Penelope, a cir cumstance most unlooked fur, and which cast a gloom over all at Ascension. lie was a good officer, and, as such, respected by his superiors and looked up to by his juniors. Lieut. Gilbert B. Rutherford (1840), First of 'the Penelope, has been promoted to the vacancy. Tbe Jumna, 16, tender to the Nerbudda, will follow her to :England in three weeks in charge of the First-Lieu tenant of the latter.' The Meaner, 80, building at Bom bay, about which we have heard so much, and the havoc made in her timbers by that destructive insect the white ant, will be launched in October. Com mander Prim was the senior officer of a Board of Sur • vey held upon her to examine into and pronounce upon her state after the discovery of the mischief. Messrs. Lewin, Bojer, and Helby, midshipmen of the Vernon, 50, also all the late Admiral Englefield's domestics, in valids from the East India squadron, and supernume raries, and one prisoner (a marine deserter), have been brUught home by the Nerbudda, together with a mail from Ascension, and dispatches from Sir Charles Ho them. The Nerbudda sails swiftly, and is pronounced a very superior sea-going vessel, as nearly all Symonds's sqall vessels are. The Sharpshooter screw-steamer, Lieutenant Com mnnding J. C. Bailey, returned this morning from Ply mouth with marines for the Mediterranean squadron to be , embarked in the Howe, She came into harbour this afternoon. The Netley tender, Mr. Drysdale, Second Master, commanding, arrived from Plymouth to-day with newly entered men. The Medusa steam-packet, Li, utenant J. 0. Ba hCrst, Commanding, was docked to-day, with orders for be workmen employed on her to work extra time for er completion, which it is estimated will occupy three reeks.

At the re-assembling of the Committee . this morni ng , the argu men t re l at i ve to the va li d i ty of the borough rate was resumed. It was conten d e d by th e counse l of the sitting Member that the borough rate could not be con sidered as a mun i c i pa l assessment within the meaning of the Reform Act. The Committee, however, after considering the point at some length, decided that the Act but expressed an opinion that before any voter could be objected to on the ground th a t h e was a defaulter of the rate, it must be distinctly prov e d t h at a d eman d h a d b een ma d e upon him for payment before the last election. The scrutiny case was then proceeded with, when it was proved that a voter named William Clerbury, who polled for the sitting Member, had bade default in pay mi.nt. of th e rate after to demand had been made upon him for the purpose, and the Committee decided that his vote should be struck off Mr. Reynolds' list. I'he v ote of Felix Birmingham, who plumped for the sitting. Memb er , was then objected to, but the collector of the borough rate failed to prove that he had de manded payment of the elector, and the Committ( e decided r that t h e vote should be retained. 'The remainder of the sitting was taken up with similar objections, but up to the rising of the Committee, at four o'clock, the petitioners had only succeeded in striking off one vote. CHARTIS—TMEETINGS. Mr. Justice Patreson. in addressin g • the grand jury yesterday i n t h e Court of Queen's Bench, after making the observations usually delivered on such occasions, proceeded sa — y"l I t d o not trouble you fu r th er but for the pe cu li ar o circumstances of th e t i mes. I think it right from this place, the highe s t cr i m i nal court terrified nrifiheodld and theresarndista ,to distract e d ct poht out suchr tumul tuousth e assemblages abhorrence a i s n havewhich lately a te peaceably dispos e d o f her Majesty's e law rajesty's subjects ; fbri is impossible to fores ee w h at consequences may arise from such assemblages, even when the object, in the first instance, for calling th em together may have been just and lawful, since th e f act of an assemblage of crowds of persons may lead toacts not at all contemplated originally, may lead to outrages which were never thought of by the persons calling them together, but which bring those persons within the operation of the law. This is true of all assemblages held even in the day time, and how much more true is it, then, of such assemblages as are held at night, when it is next to impossible to discuss with temper or moderation the matters which may have brought them together, and when it is scarcely possible for any one, even the most charitable and indulgent, to conceive that anything short of intimidation by physical force was intended ; and the essence of the criminality in such cases is the extent of alarm with which the peaceable inhabitants may be affected, and, therefore, I have no hesitation in saying that such tumultuous meet ings at night can hardly, under any circumstances what ever, be otherwise than criminal. I speak as an exponent of the criminal law of the land, applicable to all parts of her Majesty's dominions ; and if proceedings on in dictment against parties forming such assemblages should come before you, whether those parties be principals or merely spectators going to such meetings without considering that by so doing they swell the numbers and increase the means of doing mischief, you must con sider what are the facts, and in proportion as terror has been excited, and outbreaks and disorders are likely to prevail, in that proportion are these parties guilty. I cannot define the limits of the offence, because it is a matter of fact which it will be for you to consider and determine on. Ido not anticipate that any case of this sort will come before you, but I feel it my duty to warn all parties that the law is not to be trifled with, that the country must not be kept in the state of alarm in which it has lately been, and that the apprehensions which have existed in the minds of the well-disposed of out breaks taking place must be put an end to. The law will hold out, an example to deter others from the like offences. It is not to be expected that those who have placed themselves in a position to be called specially for ward shall be harassed by repeated calls upon them; it is not desirable that it should be so; and it mast be self-evident to all that those who make such calls in.perative should suffer the consequences of their misconduct. I need not state to you what means the law has of repressing these tumults further than to say that it is the bounden duty of all her Majesty's sub jects to lend themselves to the preservation of peace and good order both by the common law of the land and by particular statutes. That duty, I need not say, has lately been performed in a most efficient manner, and an example has been held out which all the countries of the world would do well to follow. I trust that, under God's blessing, these means will be effectual to the preserva tion of good order—l hope they will be effectual to secure the blessings of peace, and to secure all those in valuable blessings which we enjoy under the constitution of the realm—blessings secured by the highest authority in this country—l mean the authority of Parliament. I have thought it proper thus shortly to state what the authority of the law is upon the subject, and to point out the dangers which may be inturred by persons meeting in such assemblages as have been lately held in this and other parts of the country." The Learned Judge then dismissed the grand jury, who withdrew. THE NEWSPAPER PRESS OF PARIS.

" Sir,—ln reply to your query communicated to me by Mr. Hitchins, I have the honour to inform you that the allusion made in the Freeman's Jonrnal of this day's date, as to the harsh cond,4ct of the officials is charge of Mr. Mitchel while on board her Majesty's ship under my command, and my interference on the occasion, is totally without foundation. "`Every attention, consistent with the prisoner's safety was shown, both by all on board, and the two policemen in whose custody he was placed. " I have the honour to be, Sir, your obedient servant, "`EDMUND E. TURNOUR, Lieutenant and Commander.' " The Repealers and Confederates of Cork had a meet ing on Sunday to organize clubs, " the only practical measure which the present time suggests." The fol lowing resolution was adopted on the motion of Mr. IL J. Barry : " That the flagitious proceedings which have termi nated in the consigning of John Mitchel, that truly noble and self-sacrificing man, to a felon's fate, impose on all Irishmen the duty of immediate preparation to meet icy emergency which may arise; that the organization promulgated by this club should be proceeded with in the most rapid manner possible, in order to combine and concentrate the national strength." PRESENTATION OF AN ADDRESS IN FAVOUR OF REPEAL. The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor of Dublin, Alder man Keehan, Alderman O'Brien, M.P., Alderman Gavin, Mr. Maurice O'Connell, M.P., Mr. Ferguson, T.C., and several other members of the Irish metropolitan corpora tion, attended by the civic officers, and attired in full municipal costume, were honoured with an interview by the Queen on Thursday, at Buckingham Palace, for the purpose of presenting to her Majesty an address in favour ~f the repeal of the Legislative Act of Union. The fol lowing is a copy of the address, which was read by the Lord Mayor:— "To the Queen's most excellent Majesty. The humble, loyal, and dutiful address of the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Citizens of Dublin. :`M d ay ipl Majesty ,—We, ease y to our Maest We your Majesty's yal an dutiful subjects avail ourselves' — of the ancient privilege of our Corporation to approach, with all due respect, the foot of the Throne, and t tender our h um bl e , hut dutiful an d heartfelt con a g,riacmheicehs ulations, on the late happy ev en t of the birth of Princess, to express our loyal sympathy on any event Which increase your Dalsajewsety do, that o t m ha e t st n ic ot h h a i p n p conduce to in c e a s n:t r end i more e to give your Majesty happiness than to see v joying peace, comfort, and constitutional liberty, , e venture humbly to entreat your Majesty to be pleased to direct your immediate advisers to pay particular atten tion, at the present juncture, to the necessities, the wants, and wishes of your most dutiful, long-suffering, and much-wronged people of Ireland. " Most gracious Majesty, we humbly and with all due deference venture to suggest, that the main cause of the misery of Ireland is that her laws are not made by an Irish Parliament—that instead of a sister nation, she has been legislated for as a mere province —and that the certain and effectual course to restore her prosperity, to preserve the integrity of the empire, and to attach most of Ireland, is by the restoration to Ireland of the power to make her own laws and to manage her own resources by the repeal, as speedily as possible, of the Act of the Legislative Union, and the assembling of your Majesty's Irish Parliament. " Thus, as we humbly conceive, will the prosperity of Ireland be secured, and that of your Majesty's other dominions increased ; and, let what may happen in other countries, the throne of your Majesty be based on the most secure, steadfast foundation —the love, duty, and allegiance of your Majesty's people." The Queen then read the following reply, in a distinct and emphatic tone : " I thank you cordially for your address of congratu lation, and for the interest you express in my domestic happiness. " It is my constant aim to promote the peace, comfort, and constitutional liberty of all classes of my people, and my greatest satisfaction is derived from the assur ance of their loyal and affectionate attachment. " I have felt deep sympathy fur the suffering of many of my subjects in Ireland. "I have given my cordial sanction to the various Acts pessdtl by the Legislat ure , fur the mi t i gat i on of that suffering, and I trust th at by means of those Acts, aided by private charity and local efforts, the pressure of severe distress has been materially relieved. " I am fully persuaded that measures calculated to ad vance the interests and promote the welfare of' that por tion of my United Kingdom will continue to receive from the Imperial Parliament the most careful and attentive consideration." Mr. M. O'Connell, M.P., the mover of the address, and Mr. Ferguson, T.C., the seconder, had the honour of being introduced to the Queen, and kissing hands. The Senior Alderman present had also the ho nour of being presented and kissing hands. The de putation then retired from the Royal presence and pro ceeded to the House of Commons, where, as we have already noticed, they presented a petition in favour of a repeal of the Legislative Union. COURT CIRCULAR. The Right Hon. William Sebright Lucelles, Comp troller of the Queen's Household, had an audience of her Majesty yesterday, at Buckingham Palace, and presented an address of condolence to her Majesty, on the death of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia, from the House of Commons.

THE FUNERAL or HER LATE ROYAL HISEXIIII THE PRINCESS SOTHlA.—Tenterda, in pursuance of orders from the Lord Chamberlains Office, ground was opened in the Kensal-green Cemetery for a vault for the reception of the remains of her Royal Highness the Princess Sophia. The corpse will be deposited in the catacombs until the royal vault is completed. The funeral will be as private as circumstances can admit. The high esteem in which the Princess was held has pre vented the strict privacy being observed which was, it is understood, the desire of the lamented deceased. The preliminaries on the solemn occasion have been left is the hands of Messrs. Wakeling and Son, of Gerrard. street, Soho. The body, which lies in Kensington Palace, has been deposited in a coffin of Spanish nta• hogany french polished, enclosed in one of lead.

The Duilin Evening Post gives a positive and ` i AA . 4 rised co n t ra di ct i on to statements that have bee n pub. lished, to the effect that Mr. Mitchel has been treated with cruelty. That journal says— " Mr. Hutchins, of the Chief Secretary's office, as superintendent of convicts, attended on the departure of ' the Shearwater on Saturday last. On arriving on board, that gentleman introduced himself to Mr. Mit chel, and assured him that he should receive every indulgence consistent with his safe custody. Oa referring to the irons, which were merely on one leg, Mr. Hitch ins promised, on the understanding that no improper use should be made of the indulgence, that Mr. Mitchel's wishes for their removal should be acceded to, and in about a quarter of an hour atterwarols they were taken off by the policeman in charge. Mr. Hitching also directed that Mr. Mitchel should not be dressed as a convict, but that the clothing should be given up (as it was) to the Governor of Spike Island. On referring to Mrs. Mitchel, in the eourse of their conversation, Mr. Hitchins permitted him to write a private note to her, on the understanding that it was merely on private matters, which he promised to have delivered on his return to Dublin. Mr. Mitchel expressed himself, on Mr. Hitching leaving the vessel, as very grateful to that gentleman for his kindness. We shall now place before the public the following communication from the officer in command of the Shearwater:— i U -I ,
