It is evident that the members of th Government have a very ardu ous task before them, and they will be strictly called to account for their deficiencies and shortcomings. This is as it should be, and the Opposition would be wanting in its highest duties if it did not rightly fulfil its function and protest against the dangerous extremes into which mistaken views have led the Government. Jamaica will be a difficulty they canno t surmount. Lord DERBY spoke out on th e subject i n i the most decided manne r , and it s most we lcome to meet with the noble earl's straightfor ward remarks, after t he une q ual manner in which the matter has been treated. The noble lord, with his usual acuteness, goes straight to the point, an d showed the real blot in the affair, the conduct of the Government with respect to Governor EYEE. He denounced that as neither just nor generous. " The position of the Governor has been one of serious re sponsibility and great danger ; and at the very moment when he believed that he had renderedgreat services to the country, the course pursued of de posing and degrading him makes it too painfully evident that the Government have lost their best leg. Such a course would never have been pursued by Lord PAL3IERSTON. We have his own recorded sentiments as to the duty of the Government to wards thei r su b ordinates, and if Lord PALMER,, I committed any error at all, it was that of going into the opposite extreme, and rightly or wrongly defend ing the conduct of those who acted under him." The noble lord appropriately alluded to the language held by Lord PALMERSTON in the House of Com mons respecting Sir J. BOWRING'S conduct in China. Very strong was that passage of the noble lord's speech, in which he showed the inconsistency of the course pursued by the Ministers in sacrificing one who has served his country to idle clamour. The attack was all the stronger, because Lord DERBY admitted there might have been a case for inquiry. But what would justify their course in sending for a Governor from another colony to supersede Mr. EYRE, and place him in a false posi tion ? The most awkward of all the noble lord's remarks, however, was that in - which he said he was afraid this step was " contrary to the original in tention of this Government, whatever the reasons might be which led to the alteration of this inten tion." As we dwell upon this observation, do we not see rise up before us the long lines of deputa tions which threatened to last till the crack of doom, and which certainly frightened the Colonial-office out of its propriety, and hear the denunciations of Exeter Hall and the diatribes of the Radical mem bers ? Who can deny that the fatal course pur sued by Ear] RUSSELL is what it is here called, " a step neither just to Governor EYRE, nor likewise to be otherwise than most unfortunate in its effect upon the minds of both populations." Ministers have sent out a " roving commission which will pick up rumours, and has no real power to compel evidence on oath to be taken." We are the more gratified with the remarks of Lord DERBY upon the Jamaica affair, because it rests with him and his party in both Houses of the Legislature to take a decided stand upon. the question, and protest against the unwise and unfair conduct of the Government upon the matter. It will never do for the honour of the country and the best interests of our colonies that public servants of the Crown shall be sacrificed to the prejudices of factions and the clap-trap of party schemes. How unequal is Earl RUSSELL'S reply to Lord DERBY'S spirited remarks ; the only sign which he gave of appreciating the real importance of the sub ject was, that he addressed himself to it at the outset of his discourse. He made an unmeaning assertion about the necessity that there was for an inquiry, and then went on to state that it was:quite impossible for them to have allowed Mr. EYRE to retain his position as Governor. The reasons he gave for this were quite inconclusive ; but if he really thinks them sound, he had better, for con sistency's sake, retire from office while the inquiry concerning his treatment of Mr. EYRE and the course he has pursued towards the colonial autho rities is proceeded with in Parliament. The noble lord said that Mr. EYRE could not hold his autho rity while that authority was shaken as the inquiry proceeded, and also that if he kept his place, "no one would have believed that there would have been a fair inquiry." A Prime Minister has never held language more unfitting his high position than that used by Lord RUSSELL last night in his place in the House of Lords respecting the course pursued in this Jamaica business. When the noble lord says that "I do not think it right to say that we do not care whether 500 persons have been put to death without necessity, but we will support the Governor whether he is right or wrong, and we care nothing about these persons' lives because they happen to be black," we must say that he is treating the matter in quite an inappropriate style; and further, we may retort upon him that neither is it necessary to make unwarrantable assertions because those persons were black. In this lay all the secret of the affair, because it offended the feelings of some so• called Liberals and philanthropists in this country that their protegees should suffer, and, therefore, they sought to turn criminals into martyrs. At any rate, we are glad to find that the tide has turned, and that the fanatics have had their triumph, such as it is, and that the Government will have to give an account for the manner in which they have pandered to the fancies and accorded the requests of those unscrupulous and inconsiderate parties. It was not to be expected that the first night of the actual session would be suffered to pass over - without some allusion to the alarming prevalence of the cattle plague. The extent mid the severity of the national misfortune was clearly evidenced by the numbers of speakers in both houses who addressed themselves to this question, and the unanimity which they showed in condemning the inaction of the Government was also not a little remarkable. In the Peers and in the Commons alike the general anxiety and regret found vent in heartily abusing the Executive for its hesitation and its delays, and its total incompetence to deal with so formidable an adversary. The general impression appeared to be that a great error was committed in not at once stopping the traffic be tween London and the provinces immediately on the outbreak of the cattle plague. If this had been done there would certainly have been less reason for complaint, and less cause to suppose that by our own negligence we had fostered the evil. The ex cuse put forward on the Ministerial side was that, although in continental countries the plague had been at once stamped out by vigorous measures, among ourselves the executive had not sufficient power to pursue the same course,. This plea was at once negatived by the reply that if the Government were really unable to deal promptly and decisively with the matter they should have called Parliament together and obtained the necessary powers. We can easily imagine that no course would have been less welcome to the tottering Cabinet, not quite clear about either its own policy or the relative positions of its own members, than to forestall the evil day, and bring down upon themselves the whole shower of questions, attacks, and criticism, which attend a regular Session. But the accusa tion was certainly more just than pleasant, and they are nowlikely to sufferforhaving shrunk so long from the inevitable danger. Their hesitation and per plexity have certainly contributed in no small de gree to the spread of the disease, since whatever doubts or differences may arise as to the origin of the rinderpest, or the best means of treatment, one thing is perfectly clear—it is decidedly and dange rously contagious. The first thing to be done, then, was to stop communication between infected and non-infected places ; and as London was the great centre and focus of the evil, the removal of living animals from the London markets to the provinces should have been peremptorily arrested. It is very well to make an excuse of the inconvenience and loss attending such a proceeding, but what inconvenience or loss could be greater than that occasioned by the cattle plague ? Epi demics will not wait for routine ; and if their pro gression be arrested by any barriers it will certainly not be stopped by those made of red tape. The weakness and want of character in our Executive seems to be the general complaint, and justly so ; for when Englishmen talk about self-government they do not mean that men are to hold official positions who have no policy of their own. The great body of thorepresentatives of thepeople are indeed to suggest, to control, to express their approval or dis approval of the Ministerial policy ; but that is a very different thing from the Government waiting to be told what to do, vacillating and doubting, considering rather how to please this or that party than to pursue a policy which shall really govern and benefit the whole community. We have had a little too much of this weathercock government of late years. We do not want the vane of Downing street to show us the predominant cry of the day, but the well-considered policy of aMinistry which really governs. If it fails to satisfy the de liberate requirements of the majority of the people it will not be long before it has unmistakeable evi dence to that effect, and its members can retreat with dignity from a position they have filled with a decisive and comprehensible purpose. On several points the Ministry seem likely to be severely criticised for their weakness and vacilla tion, and possibly, amid the many serious ques tions of foreign and domestic policy to be discussed this session, they have not rightly estimated the amount of censure which they are likely to receive from Parliament for their mismanagement concerning the cattle plague. The number and variety of the speeches in both houses, all directed to this one point, prove that, if the speakers fairly represent the opinions of their tenantry and constituents, there is, in town and county, a very general impression that, in a most important matter, closely concerning not only the property, but the health, comfort, and welfare of the people, the RUSSELL Ministry has been, to say the least of it, mistaken and unfortunate in the course it has pursued.

ANECDOTE OF Louis PII I LIPPE. —Dupont de I'Eure was the Minister of Justice immediately after the accession of Louis Philippe to the throne in 1830. He was a man of unflinching honesty, and who preserved his in dependence under every circumstance. He told me that on one occasion ho nominated a most excellent and worthy person to a judgeship, and laid the nomination before the King for his approval and signature. The King hesitated, and Dupont, supposing there might be objections unknown to himself, said he would defer the appointment, with the view of making further inquiries. These further inquiries confirmed the high opinion he had formed of the aptitudes and deservings of the gentleman in question, and at the next meeting of the council he told the King that he had been led to a thorough reinvestigation of the claims of the functionary, and, unless his Majesty had some valid cause for the refusal of his sanction, he hoped there would be no further demur. The King at last said, impatiently, "He took a brief against me in an action at law." "And did he succeed ?" inquired the Minister. " Yes," answered the King, still more impatiently. "Then, sire, "your Ma jesty has only to choose between his appointment and my dismissal." Louis Philippe silently signed the decree.— Dickens's "All the lear Round." The Atrato, with the next West India mail, is expected to arrive on Monday next. She will bring news from Jamaica up to the 25th ult., at which period Sir Henry Storks will have been at Jamaica nearly three weeks, and the Government commissioners, Messrs.

Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of English wheat were but moderate. The trade for all descriptions was very inactive, yet prices were unaltered from Monday. The condition of the produce was very unsatisfactory. With foreign wheat the market was moderately sup plied. There was a fair demand for most descriptions, and prices ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly, at late rates. Barley was in moderate supply and slow request, at late prices. Malt changed hands to a moderate extent, on former terms. Oats, which were in but moderate supply, moved off slowly, at late prices. Beans and peas met a slow sale, at late rates. There was a fair demand for flour, at late currencies.

SINGULAR CHARGE OF WILFUL DAMAGE AT TUE CAFE REGENCE.—Thomas Edward Baker, commission agent, of Tavistock-street, Covent-garden, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with wilfully breaking a pane of glass, the pro perty of Mrs. Caroline Desvignes, of the Cafe Begone°, 1, Tichbourne-street. Mr. Victor Houssin, the manager of the café, said the value of the glass was between £6 and £7. Police -constable Thomas Rance, 222 C, said that about a quarter to ono that morning he was on duty in Wind mill-street when a female passed him, and when she got to the corner of the street, the defendant took her in his arms and tried to throw her through the window of the Cafe Regence. The female slipped from the defendant's grasp, and the defendant then made a second attempt to throw the female through the window ; but, in doing so, his foot slipped and he went through the window himself. He took the defendant into custody as he was walking away. Police-constable Thomas Tollough, 194 C, corroborated the previous witness. Rant:o said the female could be in attendance if the de endant was remanded. The defendant said that he had taken a glass in the Haymarket, and a female who no doubt took him for somebody else came up to him and smashed his hat, and followed him to the corner of Windmill-street and smashed it again, and in getting away from her his foot slipped and he fell through the window. The defendant called a witness, who said that the de fendant was insulted by a female in the Haymarket, and that when he got to the corner of Windmill-street he took up a female and swung her round, but not with the inten tion of throwing her through the window. In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said he was not sure it was the same female that insulted the defendant in the Haymarket. Mr. Tyrwhitt said the defendant had no business to touch the female at all, and he would remand the defendant for a week, when probably he would go for trial. The defendant was then remanded on one bail of £lO, the magistrate advising him to settle the matter in the meantime. THAMES. MENDICANCY.—Thomas Jones was brought before Mr. Paget, charged with soliciting alms and assaulting Mr. W. Duffield, a tradesman in the Commercial-road, East. Albert Godfrey, police-constable 159 K, stated that his attention was called to the prisoner last night by Mr. Duf field. The prisoner was begging. He saw him receive alms of a gentleman, and then walk into an upholsterer's shop where he flourished a piece of lath and made a noise. Directly he saw him he came out of the shop and he took him into custody. He made use of very bad language, and said ho would rip up Mr. Duffield when he came out of prison —ho would make mince meat of him. Mr. Duffield was a highly respectable confectioner, and had been as saulted by the prisoner, who appeared to bo a strong and healthy man. The prisoner, a singular-looking man, said, or rather mumbled out a defence, that he had been in the Royal Navy. He sailed in the Warspite for some time. He was in the Crimean war, and received a shot through his wrist. His eye was injured also. Mr. Paget—Where do you come from ? The prisoner —From Dublin. I was born in Thomas street (now Sackville-street), Westmoreland-street, Mer rion-square, and other places. I work hard for my living. Let me go. I will not be hero again. The prisoner then mumbled out a good deal of nonsense, and few words could be understood. Mr. Paget—l have no doubt you are a sturdy, disorderly mendicant. You are sentenced to one month's imprison ment and hard labour. Liverpool Cotton Market. —TLii Day. Market firmer, especially for American qualities. Sales probably 10,000 bales.

A POLICEMAN IN A CURIOUS POSITION.:---A gentleman of early-rising tendencies was in the streets •f Trowbridge a few mornings ago when he observed a sin gular and decidedly suspicious scene. This was a man being lowered from a bed room window by means of a sheet. The man having been let down gently to the ground the gentleman observed that he had no shoes or stockings on, but these articles were immediately thrown out of the window from which he had been lowered. The observer of these suspicious movements conjectured that the man was a burglar, and collared him. He proved to be a policeman whose duty it was to promenade one of the terraces in the neighbourhood, but having won the affec tions of a young lady, this Romeo of the force had got ad mitted to the house, with the lady's connivance. The man begged to be let go, but his ruthless captor took him to the police-station. FATAL CAB ACCIDENT.—On Saturday night a Hansom cab was driving over the St. George's-bridge, which crosses the Grand Surrey Canal in Camberwell, when the fare, a gentleman, rose up as if to stop the driver, and fell out between the doors and wheel of the cab. His legs became entangled between the spokes of one of the wheels, and he was driven round and round upon the ground, receiving such injuries that when released life was found to be extinct. The unfortunate deceased was named Oxley, a livery-stable keeper. THE WILL OF THE LATE MR. JOHN GIBSON.—By a will made and signed May 25, 1855, this eminent sculptor left Penryn Williams £500; Mr. Theed, £400; Mr. Benjamin Gibson, his cousin, £200; Mr. de Soullavy, £lOO ; Signor Giuseppe Incoronata, of London, £lOO ; Signor Giuseppe Bonomi, £2OO ; Mrs. Anna Jameson, £2OO ; Mr. Solomon Gibson, his brother, £lOO. His books and prints, with their frames, he left to Mr. Spence, the son of his early fellow-workman, and now the eminent sculptor. His own or other drawings were left to the Royal Academy. By a codicil added May 26, 1865, ho bequeathed to the Royal Academy his group in marble cf the wounded warrior supported by a female figure, then nearly finished; all his works in marble not sold at the time of his death—models in Gesso of his works in marble not sold, except the models of such works as have been presented in marble ; all his models in Gesso not executed ; the first cast of Venus de Modicis, which was sent to Canova to be executed in marble, and which, when executed, was to replace the noble statue car ried off to Paris. Moreover, he bequeathed to the Royal Academy a 2,000, free of testamentary tax, on the following conditions :—A space sufficient for their reception, and easy accommodation is to be provided for his works, which are to be open to the use of the students of the Royal Academy, and to be exposed to the public, according to such regulations as to the council shall seem best. Lega cies of £lOO were left to his executors in England, the pre sident, treasurer, and the secretary of the Royal Academy for the time being, and who were then Sir Charles Eastlake, Mr. Boxall, and Mr. Hardwick, who would prove his will. By another codicil made since his late illness, Gibson left £2OO each to his devoted and affectionate attendants, Mrs. Spence and Miss Lloyd ; the same sum to a female servant who had been long in his, service, and a similar sum to each of two of his workmen. LAW INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Chief Justice Cockburn and a Special Jury.) FITZGERALD V. NORTRCOTE AND STONE. The hearing of this case was resumed this morning. The Rev. William Stone was examined by Mr. Har court. He said lie was appointed Prefect of Discipline, in the college of Oscott, in 1865. Except in special cases the control of the discipline was intrusted to him. The students in the upper classes, and the boys over 17 years, were exempted from corporal punishment, and those in I the philoscphy class had special privileges. At the time of his return to the college Fitzgerald was in that class, and certainly was amenable to the discipline of the college. Ho was also permitted to remain half an hour later in bed than the other students when ho returned to the college in January, 1865. The matter of drinking on the part of Fitzgerald, which had been deposed to, occurred prior to his appointment as prefect. The first difference he had with Fitzgerald was about a key. Fitzgerald returned about 10 o'clock at night, and came to him and asked him to open his (Fitzgerald's) room. Ho gave him the pass key which opened the rooms of the students', the masters', and other apartments in the college, and he asked him for it the next morning. He gave it to him, and he thought it was not the same key, for it was blackened, and there was some wax adhering to it. He asked Fitzgerald how it came to be in that state, and he denied that ho had been doing anything to it. Ho afterwards discovered in Fitz gerald's room a waxen impression and a drawing in ink of the key, and he taxed Fitzgerald with having made these. He said, laughingly, to witness that it was a very correct impression, to which he replied that his superiors would not treat the matter lightly. Fitzgerald admitted after wards that ho had acted dishonourably. He infoi•med the vice-president of what had taken place, but on Fitz gerald promising not to repeat his conduct, he arranged that the matter should not be mentioned to Dr. North cote. He had not the least desire to get him into trouble, and they had been always on the best terms. The next ground of complaint was his finding Fitzgerald up in his room at half-past eleven o'clock, the hour for going to bed being ten o'clock, and for that offence he took away his privileges for three days. The next day Fitzgerald broke the bounds, and he found him with three other students in an inn at Birmingham. Ho was hiding in the fire-place. (Laughter.) He reported that offence to Dr. Northcote, who directed him to be confined in the bounds until Easter. A quar ter of an hour after ho found Fitzgerald, and another student in the plantation, contrary to the rules. He was shooting with a pistol, and when they saw him they took to their heels. He overtook them, and asked Fitzgerald who was the owner of the pistol, and he said it belonged to him. He asked him for it, and Fitzgerald answered that he did not know where it was. He then said, "Itis a lie," and threatened to box his ears if ho did not get him the pistol immediately. Either ho or the other boy picked up the pistol in a hedge and gave it to him. He afterwards told Fitzgerald to bring him the cartridges and everything be longing to the pistol. He reported this occurrence to Dr. Northcote. Fitzgerald came to him subsequently and said he wished to ask him respecting three points. He prefaced his observations by remarking that he had conducted himself so badly and his character was so lowered in the estimation of his superiors that anything ho could urge in extenua tion of his faults would avail him but little. He said he wished to speak to him about his expressions on the plan tation and his threat to box his ears, adding that he did not tell a lie about the pistol. Ho then pointed out to Fitzgerald that, if he did not tell an actual lie, he had been guilty of equivocation, which almost amounted to it. With regard to his threat of boxing his ears he said, "Of course, David, I should never have thought of carrying that threat out ; it is not generally customary for a superior to admit his faults to a boy, but I confess that I was out of temper at the moment. I did not mean anything more than a threat." Fitzgerald then came to the second point, and said that it was his impres sion the president had no power to take away his privileges. He told him he had, and had frequently exercised it. Fitzgerald said ho had gone out of bounds to see if the president would press his assumed right, and added that Dr. Northcote had degraded him to the ranks, and told him to study in the common room instead of his own. He afterwards found Fitzgerald up late at night in his room, and said he had no desire to bring him into further trouble, but if it occurred again he could not overlook it. About the 4th of March ho heard of the movement amongst some of the lay students, with Fitzgerald at their head, from a divine, who said he had learned it from one of the boys who had been asked to join the conspiracy. The witness described his having discovered a paper in Fitzgerald's room containing the letters A. B. C., Anti-Bunker Confederation, and certain names marked with crosses and cyphers. The Lord Chief Justice—How many crosses were there, and how many cyphers ? Mr. Stone—The cyphers were 10 to 1, and he under stood the crosses referred to the church students. He then stated he had become acquainted with the contents of the pocket of Fitzgerald and communicated the matter to Dr. Northcote, who authorised him to get possession of them. He went to Fitzgerald's room and asked him to come to his room, and when he got there he locked the door. Ho then asked Fitzgerald for the pocket-book, who said it was all humbug and nonsense. On his refusing to deliver it to him he took it out of his pocket without any opposition on his part. There was no force used or necessary, because there was no resistance, He gave the pocket-book to Dr. Northcote, who desired him to get Fitzgerald his dinner in one of the dining rooms, not the refectory, before his leaving the college, which had been previously decided upon. He locked Fitz gerald in his bed-room, but at his request allowed his dinner to be served there, and he also allowed him to see his brothers before leaving. He was not locked up in the room more than 35 minutes ; but it was under stood he was to remain in the room. When the cab came ho was taken in it to the station, and he swore most posi tively that no violence was used. It was the practice when boys were about to be expelled to lock them in their rooms. The Lord Chief Justice—Were there many expulsions? Mr. Stone--As far as I can recollect there were 12 during my time. The witness was cross-examined by Mr. Vernon Har court at some length, but nothing material was elicited, as he adhered to the statements in his examination in chief. He denied that he had opened or ever read any letters of Mr. Fitzgerald's on the subject of Fitzgerald being found in the public-house. Mr. Coleridge said—Do you play at bagatelle ? Mr. Stone—Sometimes in the college. Mr. Coleridge—Did you ever drink beor at the Swan ? ;Laughter.) Mr. Stone—When I was a philosopher I suppose I did as other philosophers. The witness, in re-examination, said that he never heard Fitzgerald claim exemption from the rules of the college, except on the one occasion he mentioned. This closed the evidence. Mr. Karslake then summed up, and in the course of a most able address contended that it had been clearly proved that Mr. Fitzgerald was subject to the discipline of the college, that ho had been the principal party engaged in an unworthy and ungenerous conspiracy, and that Dr. North cote, as responsible head of the establishment, had no other course open to him than to expel him immediately. Mr. Coleridge followed on the other side. The case was proceeding when we went to press. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. ACCIDENT TO MR. COMMISSIONER GOTTLEURN. Mr. Registrar Hazlitt stated that in consequence of an accident to Mr. Commissioner Goulburn that learned gentleman was unable to sit to-day. From what was stated outside the court, it would appear that his Honour slipped down in the street, but the accident is not said to be dangerous. The business apportioned to his Honour has been divided between Messrs. Commissioners Holroyd and Winslow. At an extraordinary general meeting to-day of the shareholders of the Bank of London the fol lowing resolutions were confirmed :—" That each £lOO share in the capital of the Company be divided in five shares of £2O each, and each of such £2O shares shall be credited with one-fifth part of the £5O now paid upon each £lOO share. That the £2O shares shall be numbered or other wise distinguished as the directors shall find con venient. That the directors may call in the existing certificates of proprietorship of shares in the com pany, and may cancel the same ; and that they shall thereupon issue to the holders of the shares so can celled certificates of proprietorship of shares in the company, equivalent in nominal value to the shares; the certificates of which shall have been so cancelled. For all purposes of limiting the number of shares which may be held by any shareholder in his own name, and for the purpose of calls, giving votes and qualifications, ,five of the £2O shares shall be equi valent to one of the £lOO shares ; and every per son becoming entitled to five £2O shares, by force of this resolution, in place of a £lOO share, shall be considered as having become entitled to, and having become the registered holder of, the five £2O shares at the time at which he became entitled to,And became the registered holder of, the £lOO share." One of the most important musical events of the season will be the production of an entirely new work, from the pen of that popular composer Gounod, whose last composition, a sacred drama, " Tobias," will be performed under the patronage of the Queen and the Royal family on Tuesday, the 13th inst. The cast, including our most celebrated and popular tenor, Sims Reeves, and those ge neral favourites, Madame Lemmens-Sherrington, Madame Rudersdorff, Miss Whytock, Messrs. Cummings and Patey, is very strong, and we learn that Mr. Benedict, as well as several of the leading choral societies, have most kindly volunteered their services. --.., burt tirrobr. :14 HER MAJESTY• The Queen, accompanied by their Royal High nesses Princess Helena, Princess Louise, Princess Beatrice, and his Serene Highness Prince Christian of Schleswig-Holstein, left "Windsor Castle at half past ten o'clock yesterday morning for Buckingham Palace.
