GRIST FOR THE MILL. Old proverbs and sayings may often badsde, To bear with effect upon matters of tr ; And MOSES and SON, fully conscious of this, Have thouabt the above wouldn't fiferansw amiss, And you all may be firmly convinced, ou will, That MOSES and SON have brought " grist to the mill." In quality's field they have gleaned for success, And in proof they would point to their durable dress. Was ever such quality seen in attire? Have make and material ever ranked higher? No, reader, you can"o t dis p ute, if you will, That MOSES and SON have brought " grist to the mill." In the fair grounds of Fashion they also have sown, And elegant fruits of their labours are shown : The Trousers, the Waistcoats, the Drees-coats and Frock, And the juvenile styles which distinguish their Stock, And all that assists the grand dress-mart to fill, Are proofs that in Fashion there's " grist for the mill." And look at the savings the public have made, By supporting E. MOSES and SON in their trade. Their dress-mart is ruled on economy's law— A law from which MOSES will never withdraw; And all who have favoured, and iavour it still, have declared Messrs. MOSES bring " grist to the mill." N.R.—E. MOSES and SON invite especial attention to their pre sent Stock of juvenile attire. The designs are elegant and unique, and the workmanship and materials are suck as to command univer sal approbation, while at the same time the prices are unusually mo derate.

Attendanso daily at 1 9 , Berners - stree t, from Eleven bUI TWO sad TITO to Eight ; o Soudan from Eleven to Otto JON THE .GIN of BARRICADES. Barricades derive their origin from the liberal ideas which sprung up during the middle ages, and appeared during the revolution of the eleventh century, which " by em anc i pat i ng a portion of constituted the " Ticrs etat the e!2ildreu of the Gallic soil from the yoke of the Frank race. It was, in fact, the most efficacious forti cation that could be opposed to the men at arms sent into the towns by the nobles and tho ecclesiastical Lords. We shall Lot undertake to describe the innumerable scenes in which barricades played a most conspieuvee part in our provinces during the course of feudal struggles, but shall follow their rise and progress in the capital, where they did not make th e i r appearance -ulna a very late period. Paris, kept in aw e b y t h e great tower of the Louvre and the Royal power, did not at tempt until the middle of the kirteenth century to conquer the municipal privileges whose liberating charter wa s denied it by Royalty. In the year 1358, during the captisity of King John in England, the bad conduct of the favourites of the Dauphin Charles, their wont of deference of the counsels given to them by the States General, drove the Parisian people to desperation. Etienne Marcel, provost of the tradespeople, had then the idea of barring each corner of the street with strong chains passing through a ring, which fixed them across the street and fastened them on the other side with an iron hook. These chains remained at the angles of the streets since the time of the Dauphin Charles until the year 1358, at which time the Dukes of Anjou, Beer. gougne, and Berry, uncles of the King Charles VI., de prived the Parisians of them, to prevent their offering any resistance to their horrible exactions. Some years afterwards John the " Fearless" had the chains brought back from the castle of Vincennes and returned to the Parisians. This restitution was very soon taken advan tage of, and the chains were in frequent use during the dissensions of the Armagais and the Bourguignons. In 1436 the Parisian people, exasperated by the ty-.. ranny of the English, roso with fury at the same tires as the men at arms of the " Connetable de Richemonase were penetrating into the town. Tiles, earthenvenre, furniture, is hurled from every window on the char.npion of the " Leopard," whose progress is arrested on ail sides by the barriers erected suddenly, and Paris recovers, if not its liberty, at least its national independence. We must now pass over a long interval before we find any more mention made of barricades—we do not see them rise until a century and a half later, to consummate the lines of the last of the Valois, Henry the Third. This great event took place on the 12th of May, 15S8. The reign of Henry the Fourth and tlass despotism of the Cardinal of Richelieu prevented th e recurrence of popular outbreaks. But after the death of Louis XIII., the arbitrary administration of Ar.n of Austria, and the insolent pillages of Maaarin and 'of his greedy courtiers, caused the long-impending storm to break forth. One hundred thousand Parisituas rose in arms behind two thousand barricades. "They were," say the records of those times, " built with so much art, that the entire strength of the realm put together would not have been capable of forcing them." The pride of the Court was humbled by the pikes of the burgher guard, rallied to the populous shades of the "Belile" and the Place Maubert. From the reign of Louis XIV, barricades disappeared entirely; even the terrible voice of 'B9 did not wake them up, the 14th of July and the 10th of August did not accept their dreaded aid. In 1830 they rose suddenly, and drove legitimacy from the French soil. During the days of the sth and 6th of June, 1832, they made a most formidable appearance, and demonstrated all the power of democratic ideas. In February, 184 S, the republic rose triumphant from the barricades established by the valiant people of Paris.

Marriage reqttires the fulfilment of several conditions. in order that it may be really the cause of mutual happiness.

It esedl requires the closest attentien a nd study, for what subject say be of more importance than the preservation of the health and of the physical capabilities of which every man should be possessed. it unfortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indulgence and vicious habits, whether acquired in early life or from the follies of advanced age, while suffering (tom their invariable consequeaces, unwisely entertains a tear of ap plying to a qualified physician for relief. Shame and the dread SO rrequently, but erroneously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking aor assistance where alone it can be procured. In acting thus, he forgets that accurate discrimination n ascertaining the causes of .lisease, sympathy with the sufferer, and, above all, secrecy, inva riably characterise the intelligent and practical physician, and to the ...edical man who can show by his posse , sion of the requisite legal qualifications that ho is entitled to esteem and respect in his profes ,LioAn,.salfl pursuits, the utmost confidence should be extended.

Theorem.—Every man, not a criminal, residing in those islands of the British empire from which repre sentatives are sent to the Commons House of Parlia ment ought to have a vote in the election of those repre sentatives.* 1. Because such vote belongs to him by intrinsic natural right. Every man possesses his natural powers wholly and independently within himself. Possessing his powers thus wholly and independently within him self, he possesses the right of concurring or not con curring with others in the particular uses they can be applied to. This right in organized society is neither more nor less then the right to a vote in making the laws. . 2. Because such vote belongs to him by essential social right. Every man having been born absolutely his own and no one's else, and possessing in his life, nature, and powers, originally independently of society, either never becomes a member of society at all, or else he does so by his own free act or consent. If he never becomes a member at all, then society has no right to exact his obedience; but if, for its own pur poses, it does exact his obedience, it is bound to give, at the least, the full benefit which would have availed to the individual if the consent had been free; to do other wise were only extorting a penalty in addition to the infliction of an aggression. If he, on the other hand, is held a member of society by his own full and free cLn sent, then that consent of his rests on the understanding, first, that he is able to obey the laws, second, that he shall receive certain benefits—to wit, security of person and property—for so doing. But if neither he nor any on his behalf make the laws, he cannot know whether they will be such as he is able to obey; and by consequence he cannot say he will obey them, and so cannot so much as enter into the primary compact to do so. Furthermore,he has no guarantee beyond the bare promise of society, that it will afford him what he is required to resign—his intrinsic natural right (proved alone) to obtain. And it is contrary to reason that he should take the promise of society to act in this matter of conflicting interests against itself; it keenly feeling its own needs and wishes; and in behalf of him not feeling his needs and wishes. Unless he be part of society in making the laws for itself, he has no guarantee that they will not be made to his cost. Nay, there is the highest probability that they will be so made ; for the legislation of society is essentially repressive, and apt its own members; and, of ccurse, at will be most repressive, most against the member who is not present to take his own part. Therefore, on one branch of the understanding (obe dience, with the matter of obedience unknown) the com pact is impossible, and as regards the other it is absurd, and such as no reasonable man can be taken for granted to make, inasmuch as it involves surrender of high value on the strength of a promise which there is the highest moral probability will be broken. 3. Because it is a British constitutional right (I do not say a legal right). Ist. For Christian doctrine is an essential portion of the doctrine of the constitution ; and it is an essential portion of Christian doctrine that no man act contrarily to his conscience. Now he who has not a representative in the Legislature is perpetually liable to be called on to obey laws to which neither he nor any one on his behalf has consented. Furthermore, in all cases where also lie could not consent, he is bound by his conscience to disobey the law. His law and his religion are in con trariety to each other. But inasmuch as the greatest authority is to be obeyed in all cases, and the religion of the Constitution, which is divine, and cannot be changed, is supei ior to the law, which is human, and can be changed, there follows this anomalous position—that it is the cue trine of the Constitution that such a man ought to break the law of the land ; which is absurd. Bat had this man had a representative in the Legislature, he would have been bound to obey the objectionable law, inasmuch as that it was decreed by an authority of which he was a virtual member, and thus had his virtual consent— (such is the position, for instance, of all Quakers who vote in the election of Members of Parliament). Now it must be allowed that inasmuch as the Constitu- tion, which is a positive unity, cannot in the nature of things be at the same time anomalous, that doctrine whereby there is no anomaly is the constitutional doctrine; and that whereby there is, is unconstitutional. Consequently, it is constitutional that no man should be without a representative in the Legislature. Secondly, it is the unequivocal doctrine of the British Constitution, That they who furnish the funds necessary for the sup port and transaction of Government should control the expenditure of those funds. Now those funds are (as shall be hereafter shewn) directly, fully, and propor tionately furnished by all in common, and not by the half-million at present represented out of the seven millions existent. Therefore all in common, or the seven millions existent, have constitutionally (I do not say legally) the right of vote for a representative. 4. Because it is a religious right. The Christian religion rests upon every man tho duty of worshipping Gott according to his own conscience ; at.d it will on no account whatever excuse the neglect to do SO. All public ordinances ' therefore, on religious matters ought to be made with regard to that conscience. But this can only be done by every man's conscience being ostensibly represented in the Legislature. Nothing else makes him amenable to the law when that law is con trary to his conscience. That does. The unrepresented Qeals••r is bound to allow the seizure of his goods in eischarge of church -rates: the Quaker who sends his representative to the Parliament of the nation is neither bound nor justified in so doing, inasntech as he first de putes his power of making the law to his representative, and then breaks the law he has virtually assisted to make: clearly an error. 5. Because the highest excellence of legislation con• sists in its moral rectitude, and such excellence is best secured by universal suffrage. A legislation not pos sessing moral rectitude is warred against by the whole course of Divine Providence. Nothing can be substantial, permanent, or truly prosperous under it. In the morel rectitude of actions consists their prudence and real ex pediency, Wherefore, the true test of a good legislator is his moral excellence. And as like will choose like, and the virtuous elector will return the virtuous repre sentative, and vice versa, to ensure the stability and prosperity of a state, the test of fitness for the pos session of the elective franchise should be mural excellence. And of that there is no criterion, politically, except non-criminally. The man who has not violated the law is to the state the virtuous man. Education is only a secondary test of fitness in either r epresentative or elector. The statistics of the subject have shown nothing with regard to it beyond the tact that educated persons are guilty of fewer crimes of physical violence and illegal fraud. They have not shewn that such per sons do not commit as great and numerous crimes which no laws have been made to reach. So that the educa tional test is nonsense and a fantasy. The true test is moral worth. Of that there is no criterion except non conviction of crime. Consequently all not convicted of (Time possess the great particular eligibility for the franchise.' 6. Because of the immensely increased difficulty, or rather impossibility, of bribing or intimidating electors under a system of universal suffrage, compared with hat existing under a restricted suffrage; together with the certainty that whilst a bribed or intimidated elector is and must he, in the very nature of things, sending an immoral, and therefore (as shown above) unfit repre sentative into the Legislature, and thus ensuring, so far, the enactment of bad and therefore (as shown above) adverse and futile laws, the unbribed and unintimidated elector may at all events, and most probably will, gi ve his vote to a virtuous, moral, and fit representative, whose measures will be just, and so far prosperous and permanent. 7. Because of the exceeding benefit that would accrue to the legislatorial body itself from the extension of tin. suffrage to a point involving the imposstutfity of bribery and intimidation : first, by doing away with all those bribery and intimidation investigations, which now occupy the time of the Legislature, and waste considerable sums of the public money; bring discredit on the na tional reputation; and divest many good and honourable electors for the time being of their voices in m a ki ng t h e law for the offences of their co electors, an d even in the case of minorities of the very representatives they all along had said were not fit to serve in Parliament; and so leaving the standing House of Legislation itself in complete pro tempore ; and, secondly, by causing Parlia mentary candidates individually to regard intrinsic worth and energy as the condition of their eligibility, instead of mere wealth, which involves neither wisdom nor vir tue, and discouraging wrong-meaning and no-meaning men, so far as regards true national duty, from coming forward for the office: and thus altogether constituting the House of Commons of better materials, and placinL, them in a more advantageous position. S. Because universal suffrage Yields th e only logical answer on equitable principles to the physical -force m an. He says:—"l was born with certain func tions and faculties. The Constitution offers to en sure me my personal liberty in the enjoyment of them. Beyond the control of society, tho first, the chief, TnY personal liberty ; food for my wife and the (nand, the all-necessary use of would t' be to get food—food—food little ones. Now you have made such had laws that I cann ot (y ' e t that food. There is an a r tifi cial labour for me, and if I fall bitck on natural you imprison me for a trespass. Frye, y our laws break our compact. You you nothing. I give me nothing , an d therefore I owe must take what I can ; an d if you can kill me, you must. But if you do, I shall try my very l b . est to try to kill y ou for it." (witncaa'the l a st physical -force movement f ront in Paris, June, 1848.) NT this very cause —ow, what this if he have had man says is perfectly sound, no voice in making the laws. And society is the true physical forcist, not the man. For whereas he is ready to fulfil his share of the compact if he gets the prot,ction society is not able to fulfil its shar e thou g h it sh ould get the al legiance. And w h at is worse again, Eotioty is both on the wrong side, and assumes the thysical-force ground first. But if, on the contrary, this alai' have his representative in Parliament, society can say to him— We are not doing these things; we neitik:r make the laws that oppress you, nor do we use the ar ms to Coerce. It is we and you together. What we have done jointly " ilsceptional cases in the practical appt ea tion of the principle are of course admitted, as for ; f als-arce all su c h as might result from bonil fide measures to P'event d ou bl e voting; such again as those of aliens ; slid, as t h ose of noblemen sitting in the "louse of Lords. T he mere general principle alone, in short, is here argued. Them** and application are considered 4r!toych4 RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. WINDSOR, STAINES, AND RICHMOND.—It is with no small degree of satisfaction that we are enabled to refer to the progress which has been made towards the com pletion of this line of railway, which is such as to afford the fairest prospect of the line being open and in opera tion by the beginning of next month (August), and which we believe is intended. On a visit made to this line lately, we found the permanent way completed to within two or three fields of the village of Datchet, being somewhat nearer to the village than the windmill on Datchet Common. Beyond this we may state that the rails and sleepers were lying ready for being placed on nearly tho whole of the line, the ground being, for the most part, prepared, and ready to receive the rails. The station, which will be only temporary at Datchet, has been prepared in London, and was expected to be brought to the spot where it is to be erected by the be ginning of this week. A wooden erection being intended, it will take but very little time in putting together. It is stated that the formation of the line has had already the effect of very considerably enhancing the value of property in the village. An arrangement has been made by the company with Mr. Chater, of the Castle Hotel, Windsor, to run omnibuses between Windsor and the station, for which the charge will be only fourpence each person. The fare by the railway (with a day ticket) will be, as we are informed, only 2s. Bd. for the journey to and from London, as far as Waterloo bridge, from which may be anticipated a vast increase in the traffic between Windsor and the metropolis.—Bucks Herald. GREAT WESTERN—WORKING OF THE EXPRESS TRAINS.—On Friday, the morning down express train from Paddington was made an experimental one for the purpose of exhibiting to Mr. Berkeley, and another gen tleman connected with Mr. Robert Stephenson, the trac tive power and speed of the large eight wheeled class of locomotives on the broad guage. The train consisted of five carriages. weighing about 50 tons. The distance to Didcot, 53 miles, was performed in 49 min. 19 sec. The 48 miles between the 3d and 51st milepost were gone over i❑ 42 min. and 35 sec. ; the average speed for that distance being consequently 671 miles per hour. A stoppage of 8 min. 57 sec. took place at Didcot ; and the 244 miles between that place (and Swindon were per formed, as it was stated by a party connected with the railway, in 24 min., but, in fact, as we happen to know, in 25 min. 1i sec. A portion of the road between Did cot and Swindon is upon a rising gradient of 7 feet a mile. The average speed up this gradient was 65.45 miles per hour. The entire distance, viz., 77 miles, including the 8 min. 57 sec. lost at Didcot, was'performed in 83 min. 27 sec., or deducting the stoppage, in 74 min. 291 sec. — Re ilwag Record. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD.--This great line, forming the last link to the railway communication with Ireland, will be opened for passenger traffic throughout on the Ist of August. The sea distance will then be shortened from 138 miles to 63, and the time of being on the water from eleven or twelve hours to about three hours and a hal f.—Herapath's Journal. _ NEWCASTLE AND BE RWICK. —TH E HIGH LEVEL BRIDGE AND ITS A PPROACHES . —These works are pro gressing with great rapidity, and it is expected that in about seven weeks the approaches, together with the arti ficial structure across the Tyne, will be completed, by which a junction of the railway terminus between Gates head and Newcastle will be efftcted. It is also expected that the temporary bridge across the Tweed will be com pleted by September or October, thus enabling the trairs to proceed throughout from Edinburgh to London.— Sunderland Herald. MANCHESTER, LIVERPOOL AND NEWCASTLE.--.The Gazelle of Friday contains an official notice from the Commissioners of Railways, that the period of time limited by the Manchester, Liverpool sod Newcastle Railway Act of 1846, for the completion of the railway, shall be extended for a further period of two years, from the expiration of the period limited by the Act. The Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport line, from Waterloo to Southport, will be opened, it is hoped, on the 19th inst. Passengers will be conveye I by omni buses to Waterloo, under contract with the directors. BANK OF FRANCE.

And this would be a sound and equitable reply. No other is. 9. Because the extension of the suffrage by anything less than an advance to universal would increase the anarchical tendencies of things as now existing, and not diminish them, as alleged by the advocates of a limited extension. It is a long and well-defined law of political causation—that the arbitrary elevation of a section of the body politic acts as a virtual, and eventually brings about a❑ actual, degradation of those not elevated. And it is another equally certain law, that contentions exist ing between the superior and inferior sections, those contentious (other things alike) increase in intensity in the ratio of the removal of the parties from each other; consequently, the degradation of those not embraced by a limited extension of the suffrage would be increased ; and then their animosity to the higher classes would be increased proportionately with the degradation. And that increase of animosity would be an increase of any tendency in things, as they now exist, to anarchy. Whereas, on the other hand, conversely, an elevation of the enfranchised universally would be by so much a di minution of animosity, and an abatement of any anar chical tendencies now lurking in things as at present constituted. 10. Because, if there be any truth in the Christian doc trine of a final theocracy of the world, every, step to wards the self-government of men by the Divine law written in men's hearts is preparative of the advent of that great King from whom the law in question emanates, and whose is to be the theocratic throne. And, certainly, the more we approach to the universal expression of opinion in the law of the land, the more also we ap proach to self-government by any law whatsoever writ ten in men's hearts. 11. Because the opponents of universal suffrage them selves admit the validity of the universal judgment of legislative measures, by continually and avowedly yield ing to opinion of which the smallest portion only is that of the electors and vastly the greatest that of the non electors of the kingdom. So that if such a thing could happen as the arrayal of the half million of electors in behalf of a law proposed, and the clear arrayal of the six million and a half of non-electors against it, there is no manner of doubt but that it would be abandoned. Opinion possessing all this weight and validity ought to be afforded full and convenient scope to manifest itself by a law of universal suffrage, instead of being per petually thrown on the limited, inconvenient, and extra ordinary expedient of manifesting itself by petition. 12. Because any limitary law must go on arbitrary, invidious, and doubtful grounds. Every fresh limit that has been seriatim fixed has been more and more arbitrary, and grounded in reasons less and less tenable. In short, the gradations of society becoming more and more impalpable the further the descent, the arbitrari ness of any given limit, and the doubtfulness of its pro priety, and the dissatistactoriness of the demarcation it effects, must in the very nature of things be correspon dently increased.:, So that every extension of the suffrage brings with it a reason for further extension, till it reaches all men not criminals; and thus involves inces sant mutations up to that point. 13. Because (as was to be shown) the taxation of one is the taxation of all: and it is unjust, invidious, and pernicious to withhold from the many a right con ceded on no batter ground to the few. It is grossly untrue to say that the householder only pays . scot and lot: the poorest artizen, who lodges in a third floor garret, pays is true it is not collected from him by the jtax-gatherer; but it is charged as part of his rent by the householder i who lets the garret to him: that, however, s only a surer way of securing his payment of it, and adopted for the convenience of the Government. Is it reason able on these grounds to deny him a vote in the making the laws? Especially when, on the contrary, not only are the very poorest (for every man lodges somewhere) most closely looked after, not only is their share of the tax paid every week, whereas the householder's is not; but they contribute a much larger proportion of the tax than the householder, inasmuch as each room let to a lodger is always so let at an immense advance of pro portional rent beyond what it would run at as the actual proportion of the house. In fact it is demonstrable that the lower we go down in society the greater the ratio of taxation on the means of subsistence. The principle of a taxation• based constituency admits of but one equitable development in theory, and that is impossible iu prac tice, whilst in theory also it is only equitable very par tially. It might be said theoretically let every man have an amount of electoral franchise equal to his taxation. But then, as we have seen, that amount could never be truly ascertained; and if it were it would operate unjustly and perniciously by rendering the mere condition of poverty a criminal condition, and forfeiting rights fully earned by the fulfilment of duties. 14. Because of the positiv e i n j us ti ce i nvo l ve d t o in dieiduals in vast numbers by every limitary rule yet proposed, and liable, it is conceived, under any that could be propos«). It is highly and grossly unjust that groat numbers should be deprived of the franchise when virtually entitled to it by legal quibbles, and little negligences, told guiltless inaccuracies in the execution of conditions, and utterly inconsequential noricoeforrei ties; as has been the case under all limitary rules on the point, and under none more so than under the Reform Act. Esre eially as these injustices will necessarily in crease in a greater ratio as the occasion extends into the classes more liable, from want of time and education, to fall into the omissions and inprecisione. Now this great evil of limited suffrage, unequivocally increasing in ratio as the sun': age extends outward to the point of universal suffrage, but there vanishing, and it being at the same time absolutely necessary that some extension should take place, universal suffrage is again on this ground de monstrated to he more proper than limited suffrage. 15. Because moral virtues and political rights are re actionary in a way amounting to the promotion of moral virtue by the enjoyment of political rights, and the de pression of moral worth by the reseriction of political rights. The examples are everywhere throughout his tory. Enslaved nations have ever been morally de graded. The heroic nations have been the free nations. The reasons, moreover, are as evident as are their facts. A man's country ceases to be his own in exact proportion as despotism prevails over it and him. It is the ruler's country by just so much as the ruler makes the laws and he does nut make them. But love of country is a gene rous principle, infusing its own generosity, and dignity, and warmth through all other regions of the soul. In deed every i n fl uence t h at ten d s to d raw out t h e af f ect i ons of man upon the outward renders him a better man morally, as everythi ng t h at contracts t h e sp h ere o f hi s affections outwardly, and throws him back upon himself, mikes him inure selfish, and effects a moral deterioration of his humanity. Uni versa l suffrage is promotive of patriotism. , Increased p atr i ot i sm is 'promotive of moral worth. `I he promotion of its own moral worth should be the desideratum of a nation. ALEXANDER HARRIS. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. There was not only a very numerous but a very bril liant assemblage on Saturday —her Majesty, her Royal Consort, her Royal highness the Duchess of Kent, and several illustrious members of the Royal Family ho nouring the theatre with their presence. „ bull' aria," "Crude' perehe," "Non piu Audrai," end "Deh vieni," were loudly encored, whilst " Sehiatti Signor Conte" produced an electrical effect, being repeated three times, amidst the general applause and cheering of the au dience. The old habitues agree in thinking that there never was such a Susannah as Jenny Lind. Her acting alone of the witty Abigail of Beaumarchais is full of witchery, a perfect tableaux de genre in the gallery of dramatic art; whilst her execution of " Deh yield ' is above nil her previous achievements. The most severe of puritanical hypercritics of the old school must be satisfied with the purity and chasteness of her kyle, whilst it ria-ats the aLimutiull of the lovers of the most frivolous and modish music; its thrilling delivery hushed the whole audience to breathless attention. Cruvelli was loudly applauded in her solo, whilst the one long-sus tained low note with which she terminates " Sull' aria" would form alone a title to praise. We regretted to find Mdlle Schwartz, so fitted by her natural powers, her musical science, and her petite, agile form to perform the part of Cherubino, labouring under still greater op pression than on the first night. In the other scale must be placed the performances of Lablache, Coletti, Belletti, and Bouch6; never was this marve ll ous wor k supporte d by four Lueb bassi, for the simple reason that never has any theatre had the good fortune to assemble four such talents of the same kind, still widely varied and different in their peculiar gifts. We hear that her Majesty has chosen another of Mdlle. Lind's matchless imper sonations for Tuesday night—La Figlia del Regyiniento. Her Majesty and the Prince were accompanied by her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent. In attendance upon her Majesty Were the Conntess of Charlemont, the lion. Miss Cavendish, Lord Camoys, and Major-General Wemyss. His Royal Highness Prince Albert was at tended by Lieutenant-Colonel Seymour. In attendance upon her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent was Lady Augusta Bruce.

DUBLIN, JULY 15.—The Limerick Reporter contains ,he TRUE BILLS FOUND AGAINST MR. MEAGI-!ER. FRIDAY.—At one o'clock a bill of indictment for sedi tion was sent up against Mr. Meagher, and about a quarter to two o'clock the jury returned into court with a true bill. Mr. Meagher, who was followed by an im mense crowd who cheered him vehemently, proceeded to court upon receipt of this intelligence. Mr. Bennett, Q.C., inquired whether he would tike his trial at this assizes? Sir Colman O'Loghlen—We will tell you when we get a copy of the indictment. If it be for felony, the Croy' n can try now; if for a misdemeanour, Mr. Meagher can traverse in prox. . _ . It was agreed that a copy of the indictment should bz, furnished this evening to the traverser, and that he should plead to-morrow at twelve o'clock. We understand the bill is for sedition, or a misde meanour, and not for felony. Mr. Bennett then inquired into the recognizances, when it was found that they bound the traverser to attend from day to day for the present assizes, and any future assizes. He then suggested to Sir Colman O'Loghlen that Mr. Meagher should not in the meantime address the people. Sir Colman would not make any promise of the kind. The court was then adjourned to twelve o'clock to•. morrow, and Mr. Meagher proceeded to his hotel, en• thusiastically cheered by the people. The counsel already retained for Mr. Meagher are Sir Colman O'Loghlen and Mr. Butt. His attorney is Mr. John O'Donnell, assisted by Mr. Daniel Doyle. COMMITTAL OF MR. DOHENY TO NENAGII GAOL. The following appears in the Tipperary Vindicator of this day:— _ __ " The legal offence imputed to Mr. Doheny is, we believe, bailable; but Mr. French, R.M., conceiving, we suppose, that he had no authority, gave directions that Mr. Doheny should be conveyed to Roscrea, where he arrived on the evening of Wednesday, and from which town the warrant, signed by the Hon. F. A. Prittie, was issued for his arrest. Having reached Roscrea in the evening, the informations on which Mr. Doheny was arrested were exhibited to him in the presence of the Hon. Mr. Prittie and the policeman on whose depositions the warrant was made out. It appears that the report of Mr. Doheny's speech was taken down by one of the constabulary of Roscrea. It is not the fact, as has been very generally rumoured, that he has been arrested under the Treason-Felony Act.' Mr. Dobeny was unprovided with the slightest possible professional or friendly aid, and he was lodged for the night in Roscrea Bridewell, Mr. Prittie having assured him that if he found, on communicating with the Government, that the offence laid in the informations was bailable, he would proceed to Nenagh forthwith and execute the necessary bail bonds, so as to set Mr. Doheny at liberty till such time as he should be called upon to appear at the assizes. Early on the morning of Thursday, ac companied by a division of police, under Sub-Inspector Morgan, and a company of the 59th Regiment of Foot, under Captain Ring, Mr. Doheny was conveyed from Roscrea en rouse to the North Riding County Prison at Nenagh. On the arrival of Mr. Doheny in Nenagh, the streets were thronged, and as the carriage with its escort made its appearance, a continuous succession of loud and hearty cheers were given for Mr. Doheny, who, from the windows of the vehicle, acknowledged the favours bestowed upon him by the people. About half-past twelve o'clock the carriage reached the county gaol, and after standing a few seconds on the steps of the carriage, Mr. Doheny entered the gates of the prison, where he was given in charge to Mr. Rock, the gover nor; and the crowd, having given further hearty cheers, separated. We should state that offers of bail were made in the most friendly manner to Mr. Doheny in the event of Mr. Prittie's promise of attending for that pur pose in Nenagh." THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

ROSCOMMON, JULY 13.—CoNvicriox OF ONE OF THE MURDERERS uF MAJOR MAHON.—The Attorney-Gene ral's exertions here to bring the persons guilty of the murder of Major Mahon am. the 11 Mr. Lloyd to con digit punishment, promise to eventuate must tuccess fully. The class of jurors summoned to attend the Crown Court are amongst the most respectable in this county. After twenty gentlemen were challenged ley the prisoner's agent, one of the murderers of Major Mahon, Patrick Hasty, was yesterday convicted of the crime, under an indictment for conspiracy, eleven of the jury being Catholics, aid only two jurors put aside by the Crown. To-day's proceedings will most probably close with the conviction of Thomas Commins, an accom plice of Hasty'v. The sheriff is entitled to the highest praise for his ar rangements respecting jurors. All the records (ten in number) have brcn disposed cf, and Judge Jsckson now assisting in the trials f prisoners. Roscommox, JULY 14.—Baron Lefroy entered the court this day at ten o'clock. The jury in James Com mons' case, for the conspiracy to murder Major Mahon, who were locked up ail night, having b een called out, and asked by the Clerk of the Crown had they agreed, the Foreman said they had nut, nor was it likely that they would agree were they to be locked up for twenty ynitre. The Foreman, Mr. Oliver Irwin, having stated to Baron Lefroy that his life would be endangered by re• maining in any longer, Doctor Shauley, having been directed by the judge to examine Mr. Irwin, stated to the Court that his life would be endangered if kept any longer in confinement; upon which the Court discharged the jury. _ THE MURDER O' MR. LLOYD.—Owen Beirne awl Michael Beirne, having been placed at the bar, were arraigned for a conspiracy to murder the Rev. John Lloyd, in October last; but the counsel for the prisoners having refused to join in their challenges, Owen Beirne was then placed at the bar. There were five counts laid in the indictment. The long panel having been called over, the following jury was sworn :—Jonn Freeman, foreman; Philip Hay, William Powell, David O'Nlalleo, Malachy Fallon, William Lancaster, Dominick William Harrison, Patrick M‘Donnell, Samuel Hudson, Walter Bourke, and john Fallon . The ATTORNEY•GENERAL opened the case on behalf of the Crown. Having examined six witnesses, the Crown closed. Mr. WALTER BURKR then addressed the jury on be half of the prisoner. His address went to impeach the witnesses produced for the Crown. There was no evi dence or witnesses produced for the defence. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then reptied, Baron LEFROY having charged the jury at some length, they retired to their own room, and, after a few minutes, returned with a verdict of Guilty. Judge Jackson is sitting in the Record Court, trying some of the other prisoners. LIMERICK, THURSDAY.—MURDER OF M4INERT.— Denis Ryan and James Doyle were indicted for the murder of John M'lnery,; at Adamstown. ThiA was the same case for which Gorman was convicted on Tuesday last, end for which two others have been executed. The same witnesses were examined as on the former trials. Tho jury returned a verdict of Acquittal. THE KELLY'S AND THE O'KELLY'S ; OR, LANDLORDS AND TENANTS, a Tale of Irish Life. By A. Trollope, Esq. Wo like this novel (says the Athenxitni) betttr than Mr. Trollops's former one, because, though not more powerful, it is less painful. Its pages are animated by characters distinguished from mere virtues and vices. Humour pervades its scenes, and it is the true " emerald" humour, as incomparable after its kind as the genuine potato spirit battled with by the apostle of temperance. Widow Kelly is Irish to the backbone, in her triumphant scolding and unselfish generosity. There is a touch of the unfeigned Hibernian jontleman in Lord Ballandine ; and Dot Blake shows us that even so cosmopolite a sci ence as gambling takes a local colour from the Curracb, the Bois de Boulogne, or the l)owns at Epsom. Then, though they are less national, Lord and Lady Cashel are a pair whom Miss Austen need not have disowned. THE FETE or WILLOW BANK, ON WEDNESDAY NEXT, IN AID OF BATHS AND WASH-HOUSES.--Mr i than usual interest is excited by the preparation for this approaching r6-union.

The usual Matir 63 Mysteriouso will be gratuitously trans fered from the St. James ' s to Willow Bank, and U lu object of interest will be the visit of the Lady m ay ,,,,, s in the state barge, from which her Ladyship's party will disembark at the Terraco-stairs of Willow Bank, so admirably adapted for such purpose, presenting a revival of by-goue scenes. Never did the lady-love of civic authority experience such right honourable recep tion as awaits the pageant of Wednesday next.

[We have great pleasure in quoting the following sensible observations from our excellent contempo rary the Hull Advertiser. The worthy editor of that journal, with more generosity than h common among Provincial Papers, has thus prominently drawn atten tion to the opinions of a rival, by giving them far more extended currency. We could heartily wish to see this manly spirit more generally adopted; for it assuredly is by the practice of such liberality that the interests of the public are best consulted, while news paper proprietors would not fail at the same time to promote their own. A national poor-rate is but ap plying the principle of the consolidated fund. The proceeds are contributed to the rational exchequer for a benevolent purpose, and are dispensed from the collective fund free from the contumely, degrada tion, and bitterness of spirit, too often inseparable from local administration. The relief is the donation of all, but the gift of none in particular. The nation dispenses, not the parish.—ED. Sun.] At the risk of doing something as unpleasant as re questing the narration of a thrice-told tale—or the pay ment of an old debt—or the recognition in public t.f an ill-used benefactor—or of a poor relation—or any other disagreeable incident resulting from well -meant but luckless busybodyism, we venture to recommend to the Ilull guardians of the poor the subjoined very sensible article on the Law of Settlement question, which we have great pleasure in quoting from the Ea:tan Counties Herald of yesterday. It is basal on a sound political, as well as moral principle; arid contrasts most favourably with certain views which ap peared in the same journal a few months since, but for which the writer of the article quoted below is not 14, be held responsible. We venture to say that we hare considered the eint'stion of poor-la,: settlement es carefully as tiny guardian of the poor in H ula, and the, result of that c•insideratiou is this conviction that the proposed chank:o in the law is ex !•eedingly desirable.

The destitute would cease to bi) treated as if they were criminals, by being exposed at any time to what to them is tantamount tobani,dt inert irons everything possessing a h o ld on their atTec tionF. In the case of the Irish poor, removal to Ireland is about as reasonable as the return of the new swarm bees to the old over-crowded hive. It is to than as certain death as if they had sand bags attached to their heels and sunk in the llurubt-r. We therefore adopt both the letter and the spirit of the following well-timed observations, which we hope will not fail to attract the notice of our very diligent Member, Mr. Baines ! " Unless the poor-law gauardians of Hull nee pre pered to dissolve the Scotch as well as the Irish union, we must say their proceedings en Monday %ere im pulitic and inconsistent, it not harsh and unjust. " The reader may require to be informed that a Bill now before Parliament contains a clause that will place the poor of the three countries on a toting of equality as regards the right to parochial settlement after a five years' residence, Nothing could be fairer in the abstract, and few things have been more imperatively required in actual practice. Where a man expends his strength in honest industry, there he should have a title to relief; whether burn in Hull, Edinburgh, cc Dublin, is a point quite unin3portaut as regards the merits of the case. Ile is required to contrioute to all the local rates as long as he is able to pay, and to discharge all the duties that d. volve upon him as a citizen; he does both irrespec tive of the place of his nativity; and justice obviously requires that when he needs relief i: should be granted d had to him without reference t o distinctions which A not previously been recognised or acted upon. present the whole law of settlement requiresi there reuon_ eideration and essential amendment, a are reasons fur hoping that Mr. C.

The alleged exposure to fraud is true enough, and will call fur vigilance on the part of the administrators of the law; but it must be remembered that the trickery of one does not disannul the claim of another.
