He (Mr. Stewart) should think ),..oefair to be called made aol_ealth Bill ; earl in the session, he had e_.. an opponent of the Public `n offer to the Noble y Lord who conducted the . Bill vi discuss its provisions in private ; and some inter teiviews had taken place, but they had split on the . two nts he had alluded to. He believed Mr. Chadwick to turnsan industrious and meritorious individual ; and much h i r tl e ,„ d ia on the degree of credence to be attached to a e...eence. He had collected evidence on eleven points, and th e ali directed to the expediency of a central authority, le inefficienc of local authority. One question asked 48' h o W far there were individuals in any tovrn ori Q'reat Britain fit to be entrusted with sanitarywwerosrk were l e t i ith imposing and collecting rates; and thewis V en in a report of the sub-committee of the Health of %,..wina Association. bestt MORPETHt t v h is I think I ought to say that, ee ci •-e of my belief, Mr. Chadwick has had no con ''''rn whatever with that publication. b. -Mr. ST E WART b el i eve d t h e N o bl e Lordr he h would find e fi r nd . - Was a li tt l e m i sta k en i n t h a t matter; fo eei Yed the p am phl e t f ro m a Government E-i officer, who had at it t o hi m to conv i nce hi m o f is error in opposing cen tralisation.

This was too absurd for argu- Eent. It could not be supp ose d th a t th e p eo pl e o f ngland would ever submit to th e e x t raord i nary A o wers proposed to be given to the c en tr a l b oar d an d to e Privy Council. All private Acts were to be placed at the mercy o f t hi s b oar d , an d commissioners, he un ticratood, had already been appointed to make inquiry i 11 ,, a to . the operation of these Acts. He approved of such nurry, but decidedly objected to the centralisation to Ate , ' 4e leu it was proposed to lead. Let Government con a n a t to modify the objectionable centralisation clauses, I s , , the House would go into Committee forthwith. l 'e Hon. Member for Oxfordshire (Mr. Henley) had ~,,l ' Y prop er l y suggested that the Bill should be modelled k " the In e l osure Act of 1845 ; and against this no argu e4„erlA, W hatever had been offered.

MILES thought that t h e G overnment were e di g to th e centra l b oard more authority than was " cc esaary to carry out the Bill. He considered the Pr esent Bill to be a great improvement on the measure last year, and he would oe prepared to vote for going Into Committee, if the Noble Lord opposite adopted the reasonable suggestion of the Hon. Member for Ox fordshire. He thought the Government were wrong in not including the metropolis in the Bill, because all the sects showed that th e morta li ty i n t h e metropolis was greater than in other parts of the country, and, con !equeetly, stood in greateeeneed if such, A measure. He Ped some Member of the Government would give an explanation of the construction of the central board of commissioners, and in the meantime he would sus h is judgm ent as to the measure. p Mr. NEWDEGATE said that the Bill would entirely supersede all local boards, and in that respect it would be very objectionable. The object which the Govern anent seemed to have in view was to centralise the whole of the powers of the provincial towns and to place those powers in the board. That body of the commissioners of the central officers Was to have the power of appointing local to any extent which gig be deemed fit.— pl ( P_ l vide-) Ile , hoped, how that ' the Noble Lord orpeth) would not seek to exercise the powers sought :•:(or under)he Bill to the disadvantage x of the local boards. nDivide.) He hoped fur some assurance from the Go fr_ cement that such extraordinary powers as were con hid by the Bill would not bo accepted by them. e Lllirv..rrLD, amidst great confusion, and cries of— ee__ o l v ne, was understood to say that his constituents calculated of the Bill in so far as the central board was releultireedlyto he local Jobbing, and in their view concurred. The large masses of the people 'llleWere favou r able to the measure as a whole, though there , parts of it which were objectionable. e • e e gallery was then about to be cleared for a divi emu, „b en Mr ej 11 ,, 0 _ • RQUHART withdrew his amendment—where- Ie preiaomushelewent into Committee on the Bill. posed v T h t h e was postponed. Clause 1 being pro. frtr:LBA.NKES objected to the exclusion of London tai ,,_ ills provon s of the Bill. The metropolis con tor7sc; gas works, chemical works, and other rnanufac te44:' regulations noxious vapours, which rendered sani -14, regulations more necessary than in any other t r' o 4 0f the kingdom.—(Hear, hear.) He need not truth rther than the college garden to prove the head etas his assertion. In Westminster School the ata k , k "',lster was ill ; several of the scholars had been and; w"cle; the peen of Westminster was also affected— to e, eia n i n such a state of things was going on, Of th e t e,L,e l the metropolitan districts from the operation atria '3" was a line of policy which he could not under- Lie celled upon the Noble Lord $9 produce a Treasure intended for the whole nation; or, at all events, to begin with London, where the necessity for sanitary regulations was most seriously fait. It was the feet, without attributing. for a momen: undue attention on the part of the Noble Lord to the interests of his con • slituents, that the interests and wishes of London were more immediately attended to in that House than those of any other town in the kingdom. This was not right. It London was to be excluded on account of the antiquity of its corporation, there were many other towns in the kingdom which might put in a similar plea. He moved that all the words which went to exclude London and Westminster from the Bill be omitted. Lord MORPETH was free to admit that the exclu sio❑ of the metropolis was the main detect of the Bill.— (Hear, hear.) But when it was remembered that there were a hundred local Acts referring to the metropolis, it would not be wondered at that it had been found necessary to exclude it from the present Bill. He also regretted the exclusion of Ireland and Scotland; but his belief was that the sanitary condition of both those countries would be better advanced by separate measures than by incorporating them in one vast and un manageable Bill. The question was whether this mea sure was a boon to the districts contemplated or not. If it was a boon, the exclusion of the metropolis was no reason for depriving other cities of the advantages in tended.—(Hear, hear.) He trusted that he should soon be able to undertake the case of the metropolis, and he congratulated himself with the prospect of having for an able assistant the Hon. Member for Dorsetshire. Colonel SIBTHORP objected to the Bill in tote. He looked upon it as a Government job, concocted for the purpose of providing places for some of the lean and hungry followers of the Noble Lord and his colleagues. However, if the Noble Lord would consent to include the cities of London and Westminster it would remove one of his main objections to the Bill. Lord MORfETH said he had already given his reasons for not including London. Colonel SIBTHORP—Then I am delighted to oppose 3 ou.—(A laugh). The Marquis ofGR ANBYstrongly objected to the exclu sion of the metropolitan districts; but further, the Bill was objectionable on account of the odious and tue English principle of centralisation which it contained. Mr. NEWDEGATE said that the Noble Lord had mentioned the one hundred local Acts of London as a reason for excluding it from the Bill. He (Mr. Newde gate) wished to know how many country local Acts would this Bill place at the mercy of Government? Lord MORPETH admitted that there was an immense number of local Acts scattered over the country. It was the fact of the 100 local Acts being in a lump that con stituted the difficulty in the case of London. Mr. HUDSON said that every town in England was opposed to the centralising principle of the Bill. He had just returned from the ancient city of York, where the most determined opposition had been re solved on. He did not see why all the wisdom of Eng lish corporate bodies should be supposed to centre in the city of London. What they complained of in York was, that the corporation had no power to insist on efficient drainage.—(Hear, hear.) He said "Hear, hear" too. That was a reason for giving the necessary power to the corporation, but not for centralisation. Tho principle of government in this country was that taxation and representation should go together, and he and almost all the towns in the country objected to giving powers to any central body to tax them. He hoped the Noble Lord would abandon that part of the Bill which placed the towns under the control of the central board of London, and he might depend upon it that the towns would themselves, if the necessary power was given to them, do all that was required. Lord J. RUSSELL remarked that nine-tenths of the Bill was taken up in giving those powers to local bodies which the Hon. Gentleman wished fir. It was true that one part of the Bill referred to the establishment of a central board.—(llear, hear.) But he thought it far better that the attention of the Committee should be directed to the question whether the plan proposed by the Government, or that of the Noble Lord the Member for Falkirk, should be preferred, rather than to discussing the question of centralisation, &c. Mr. BHOTHERTON supported the Bill. Tho Hon. Member for Sunderland had admitted that the corpora tion of York, which had a local Act, hail not the power necessary tor ensuring sanitary improvement ; if so, in what position must those towns be which had no powers under local Acts ? After a few words from Mr. Hume and Mr. BANseES, The Committee divided, when their appeared — For the retention of the words 240 For the amendment Majority —l69 Mr. URQUHART had presented a petition, signed by all the medical men of Stafford, and a large number of the inhabitants of the borough, against the Bill, and he claimed, on;the part of his constituents, the same ex ception Government had admitted inthe case of London. He would move that Stafford be exempted. Colonel SIBTHORP said that the Hon. Gentleman claimed an exemption in favour of Stafford ; he for his part demanded an exemption in favour of Lincoln. If the House was so anxious about cleaning, let them set to work and scour the Treasury bench ; they would find the job dirty to their heart's content.-- (Laughter.) He warmly vindicated the purity of the city of Lincoln; he had represented it for more than twenty years by the unbought suffrages of its inha bitants, and he asserted fur it as full a right to be left to its own cleansing care as the city of London or the city of Westminster, which the Noble Lord was intimi dated into exempting from the operation of his so crude and mischievous a measure. The whole thing was a miserable, sneaking, dirty job, got up as a mode of feeding a pack of poverty-stricken Ministerial depen dents, who had no resource but the pockets of the people. Viscount INGESTRE had a perfect knowledge of Stafford, and he might almost say of all its population, and he could bear his testimony that he knew no place which, morally or physically, required a more thorough cleansitig.—(Laughter.) Mr. URQUHART withdrew his amendment. Clause 1 was then agreed to. The CHAIRMAN reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Thursday. The House adjourned at a Quarter to One o'clock. 11 ,EPUBLICAN FRANCE.--We observe that a work by Dr. Millengen is announced for publication, in which he records his recollections of the first French Revolu• tion. As the Doctor resided in Paris during that period, under very peculiar circumstances, and lived in the same house with the Deputies Albittes—the personal friends and associates of Robespierre —he must have had con stant opportunities of making himself acquainted with the many fearful occurrences of the time, and his per sonal acquaintance with the parties must therefore ren der his narrative more interesting than those of his torians who merely write from hearsay, and are more or less prejudiced in their opinions. We understand that Dr. Millengen's account of Robespierre differs widely from the description given of him by M. Lamartine, in his " History of the Girondins." TULIP S'llow.—Mr. Groom's annual display of tulips commenced yesterday at his establishment at Claphatmrise. The day being as splendid as a summer sun could make it, several visitors of distincton accepted the invitation to the private view, for such it was. The tulips again exhibited abundant proof of Mr. Groom's skilful management of these dainty and evanescent pro ductions of nature. The bed was filled with the finest specimens, many of them of the choicest class, and a perspective glance up the middle of the tent disclosed a surface of nodding flowers, strangely and capriciously variegated —a floral ensemble, indeed, of singular rich ness and variety. We do not profess to belong to the tulipomaniacs, and care little for the rarity which is so much prized, in preference to the graceful combinations of colour which characterise the common garden species, but there is a style in the tulip, let it be marked as it will, which always commands respect. It is the stateliest and most dignified of Hewers, and holds up its head in a sort of vainglorious stiffness that seems to repel intimacy. The conditions which are laid down as the credentials of perfection in the opinion of tulip amateurs are re ligiously complied with by Mr. Groom, and we hays the straight stem, the capacious and well-formed bell, the broad edge, the well defined and delicately feathered stripe, and the velvetty cheek, in almost all the cases submitted for inspection.

The entrance is also to be widened. A channel, six feet deep at low spring tides, it is understood is to be cut from the entrance right up to the Cross Wall ; so that with this and the widening of the mouth of the harbour, our steamers will be able to enter at all states of the tide ; and almost in all w ea th er when they can put to sea. This will be the great es t i mprovement our old harbour' under went, as it will render the spacious accommodation we already posse ss i ns id e perfectly ever o available.—Canterbury Journal.

FRANCE. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY.—SeIernso OF YiAY 6. The follossings ate fhe reports presented to the Assembly during th e s i tt i ng of the 6th of M ay by Citizens CREMIEU X an d L ouis BeeNc : M. Creusieux, Minister o f J ust i ce —Citizens,had on the day of the great R evo l ution, re duced the thron e to dust, and made royalty a souvenir, it felt, in the m id st of its immortal victory, the necessity of t,ieeai A order, the s s g e ti m a t r: guarantee l t E would of securitys ( v )n h e en dtahy furpeople g all; lel ; i itt howdesi reidt to be governed. Its wondeef u l nature di v ined all that a N would regulate its force, how it would provide for its moral interest s , h ow i t would fulfil the first duties of the country towards it s c hild ren, that is to say, how it would assure t o eac h family the means of living, by assuring to ea c h c i t i zen the instruments of la b our— labour, the sole legitimate source of an honourable for tune, whether it be obtained by the sweat of your brow, or by the splendour of your intelligence.—(Hear, hear.) But while awaiting the moment when an Assembly, which should comprehend its whole mission, should come in the bosom of the capital to fulfil its duty, the people gave it se lf b y proclamation a Provisionary Go vernment. Citizens, it was necessary to provide for the administration of this country. We immediately as signed the ministries among us ; we immediately re united in our council the executive and the administra tion; we concentrated in our hands all powers. The ministry of justice was confided to me. In ordinary times that ministry is the most peaceful and the most calm. With the law for your guide, knowledge for your support, virtue for your bases, modesty for your com pany, duty for your rule; what have humor passions, what have egotistical and servile sentiments to do in the midst of these grandeurs of justice ? Justice, whic h rejoins earth to heaven —justice, which strikes and gua rantees—justice, which represses and protects—justice , which pronounces on property, on right, on life, on honour, how take away from it its essence of purity! (Applause.) Citizens, the impiety of the fallen Govern ment had violated that sanctuary. How um,' h i g h pieces in the m ag i s t racy h ad become the recompense (.):, the most servile d evot i on, the most revolting Yes, the footsto o l f or arr i ving at the highest h onours , even of the magist rac y, was the tribune of the Ch am ber ; not a free, gener ous , i n di gnant Chamber— b ut an obe dient, adulatory t r ib une , su bj ect to a King. Th e s peech which one day supp or t e d a n unpopular meas ure re ceived its reward th e next; the more a man dis graced himself by the energy of his servility, the m ore a postasy ! worthy he showed himself of the corrupting favours. Thus it was that policy had invaded justice; thus it was that an adulterous alliance had been formed between justice and policy. Under the ancient monarchy, often was the Parliament seen to hold, in the face of abso lute power, a firm and en e r ge ti c l a nguage, to oppose a strong and h onura bl e res i stance t o u cjnist measures; even under the rest orat i on , t h e mag i s t ra cy had its days of popular opposition. On the one hand, history had greatly extolled th e courageous ac ts of the Parliament ; while on the o th er, b y t h e mea ns of the d ecrees which the press had sometimes obtained, its im movability had rap idl y g lid e d into the Ch ar t er of 1830. Thi s great ques tion, to which y our patriotic attention will soon be directed, had, so to say, vanished in that singular revision made in the midst of the barricades of July, of the pact granted in 1814. But, during the ten last years of that reign of corrup tion, the laws of September dominated over that press which they could not succeed in subduing. Invested, contrary to the Charter itself, with the right of judging a considerable portion of the crimes of the press, the correctional tribunals punished the press without pity ; the laws were draconian ; the repression corresponded with the character of the laws. If the jnry, whose forma tion was a mystery to no one, declared a journal guilty, the punishment was measured, not by the evil produced by the writing it se lf, b ut b y th e (character) colo ur o f t h e journal. I sa y i t w i t h a painful regret ;notwithstanding the eloquent efforts of the Procureur-General, who had sustained the rights of the press—and which the an cient advocate of the press, become for a few days Minis ter of Justice, remembered well—the regulating court had crushed, by a fatal jurisprudence, the last guarantees of the citizen who proceeded against, at his own risk and peril, the culpable acts of a functionary. The law on judicial announcements presented, in its execution, the most deplorable scandals. There was not a journal in the departments whose devotion to public interests, or the sacred cause of liberty, was pardoned ; the spoils of them went to enrich the servility of the paid journals ; its ruin and speedy downfal announced ti all that the liberty of the press was but a by-word. Such, citizens, were the sad results of the invasion of policy into the precincts of justice ; for, excepting in political matters, justice was wanting in none of its devoirs! Careful of the private interests of citi zens arguing before her their respective pretensions— careful of the liberty of citizens pursued for acts which enter into the common law—justice fulfilled with zeal and impartiality that so important a portion of her attributions. Notwithstanding some imperfections which our National Assemblies will endeavour to do away with, no people has simpler laws, laws more clear than our civil and criminal laws are. The judges make a wise application of them; and the magistracy, in the fulfilment of that duty, has certainly no reproach to undergo. The conduct of the Minister of the Revolution was thence forward easily traceable. On the bench of magistrates I displaced the men whose political lives were known to us. I have especially done so in regard to those in the higher positions. Except that, in the presence of the customs of such long standing which gave to the judges a character of inviolability, I have not revoked a single one. Till now suspensions only have been pro• nounced. A magistracy of more modest standing, but whose importance has been revealed since its creation, and which in the legislation which our National Assem justice, may be developed on a larger b as i s —l mean t h e Assem blies will hexane(' ,w) to cAablihh for the organizati on o f d justices of the peace—have specially attracted my atten tion. The recals have been numerous ; the late Minister of Justice, and his predecessor in a still greater degree, had placed in the offices of justices of the peace men the most devoted and the most ardent in their cause. It would be difficult to combine in a better degree the continual necessities of a policy with the entirely natural influences of that family magistracy. Let us quit the question of persons, and permit me to enter the domain itself of Justice. The duties of Minis ter of Justice have been very great during these last nine weeks, in which each of tie, in the sphere of his attributions, has been a rival in zeal and devotion. To his direction were left a number of decrees, the con. sideration of which would otherwise have appertained to the whole Government. Ia criminal matters, the abolition of the pain of death for political offences, the abolition of the laws of September, the abolition of public exposal in the pillory, decrees which change the majority of the jury, which restore to that jurisdiction the judgment of libels against pnblic functionaries, which reverse the jurisprudence Bourdean, which authorise temporary rel ease without giving bail in money, and which facilitate the restora tions of one's rights. In civil matte rs —abolition of poli tical oaths, abrogation of the law suspension of writs of personal arrest, diminution of legal expenses, naturalization of' foreig ners. i e fe m r e m e a t t e ic o in f s a to m be e astaiatrkeweno:fs. especkally on the I s t May that A delegation of the most pleasing and preci ous sovereignty—that of a portion of the right of' pardon— °n judicial annonces, was given to the Mi nister of Justice by the Pr ov i s i onary Government imme diately after the revolution.

There will be found the real economy, by diminishing the number of magistrates, and properly re munerating those who remain' Such is, without doubt, must the do u bl e object which .• ed. The Council of State, en service ordinaire, inauisrt be attained. e ls.a,atscom composed of thirty members ; it h as been reduced' to twenty-five. I have suppressed the Council of State, en service exordinair ; the ministers will delegate to it their general secretaries, or chefs de division every time that the interest of the service shall require it. Such is, gentlemen, as• stemeet of the short administration of justice, in the modest ministry which I have directed since the 25th of Fe bruary, with the love of duty, and the desire of giving to public int erests, as well as to private ones, the most solid guarantees. The Republic desires honest and pure magistrates, for the magistracy should give the best ex amle.—(Applauee.) lit concluding-, permit me to say how I have to felicitate myself on the newly chosen, who have entered since our revolution, into the tribunals and into the courts. Yes, the choice was good, and the proof is that they have been co nsecrated by pub:ic opinion, by the people, who have given you for colleagues a great many of the new magistrates. Th e i r zea l and devotion have not been for a moment a cause of disappointment, and I feel pleasure in rendering a tribute to their knowledge and their patriotism . — (Applause.) A last observation, though a very grave and important one, I have the pleasure of submitting to you in this place, whence our words go forth so widely. When the decree which remitted the declaration of guilt to nine jurymen out of twelve ap peared, the f ear o f some impunity arose in some timid minds : vain fear ! Never did the jury show so much firmness united to so much wisdom. I say it with pride in their regard, that the most important criminal cases have been tried by them with independence and an ad mirable rectitude. The jury have comprehended the whole extent of their mission ; they feel that in their bands repo ses pu b l i c secur i ty ; t h e y elevate themsel ves to the level of their sublime t 'unctielle,—(Applause,) cit:z-ns, the Republic will have good magistrates, good jaries ; honest citiz:-:ns will be protected in their rights; bad citizens will find justice ready to reprez.-, them. Notbinv; will then b e wantiag to tl:e dirties whi c h a Republica n Government irnowes on us ; we will all, citizens, we will all fulfil them with pleasure.—(Long applause.) M. Louis Blanc—Citizens, representatives of the people—On the 29th of February those whom the course of events had called into power (a power by no means an enviable ono, certainly, for it was the government of tempests), those, I say, found themselves assembled, when, all of a sudden, they saw the Place de I'llotel de Ville invaded by an ardent multitude. A flag floated in the air, and on that flag this was what was written— " Organization of Labour ; Creation of a Ministry of Progress." Admirable result! It was thus, it was in this capital, which still felt the quiverings of the combat, on these pavements, on which the people had just marked their route with their blood, it was thus that they came to demand that which proved that their great preoccupation was that of order.—(Applause.) For what did they come to demand? They came to demand peace, made prolific by labour; the creation of a minis try of progress, whose business it would be to prevent violence by study, and to render revolutions for ever impossible. What could the Provisional Government do? What had it done? It had preserved the important question for a sp ec i a l m i nistry to be created; but that which it at, once granted was a commission of the Go vernment for th e l a b ourers, and that the Palace of the Lux embourg should b e the seat of its labours. Two men mere chosen for that labour —the one my noble friend the citizen ouvrier Albert, the other was myself. We directed our what attention to th e present position of affairs, and did see? On the one hand the ruin of the rich becoming imminent, and, the other, the distress of the Perhaps' inevitable. On people becoming more and more aggravated every day,and the impatience of their desires violently irritat And what was our mission? We went into that di , difficultult situatio n w i t h out If, a budget, with out a soldier. by chance, our w or d s were not li s t ene d to—if the agitation which had been suppressed for tho moment were renewed--w e we sho u ld o n beenthe have been r en d ered responsible for it. If, con trary, it was app eased, might we not have re proached with b e i ng dangerous innovators? (Cries of " Yes, yes.") Did we not also run the risk too long prolong e d a cry of distress? " S of having not necessary; we can not wait, for we suffer , awr: are hungry." These were th e d angers we had ' to run. Yet we did not hesitate. On the day following revo lution such as ours, every citizen is a sold when every citizen is a soldier, how should an ; and shrink before peril P We have, then, been witnesyseosnoef a sublime spectacle, which must remain in history as an immortal proof of enlightenment and reason. We have seen citizens running to us and exclaiming, " I have a wife ; I have children ; give me bread." And when we replied to them, ," Wait ;" and when we, besides, told them of our want of power to assist them, these men have retired, their hearts moved, and crying, " Vive la Rieublique." We have seen passing one after the other all the industries ; we have seen them passing bearing 1 1 signs of distress, claiming loudly the intervention of the state ; so that the very force of affairs imposed upon us a mission which had not been given to us—the mission of interfering between the master and the workmen, in order that they might go hand-in•hand together. Well, we have obtained that result. It is in oar archives, which we preserve with pride, for they are the archives of concord and fraternity. But we had not only conciliation to effect; we had associations to realise. When workmen came to us to demand the means of as sociating together, you know what we did. At Clichy, which in former times was only inhabited by prisoners, what do you now see ? You only see labourers giving each other their hand. Formerly you read over the gate " Debtors' Prison." To-day every one will substitute in his heart for these words, " There is a d dit which every one owes to all—the social debt of bread and labour."—(Hear, hear.) We have gathered on the ques tion of labour a great deal of information, which will be communicated to you, and you will examine it in all its details. Suffice it for me to say, that the two funda mental ideas of our work—whether it concerns com merce or agriculture, or the banks or the establishments of customs—the two fundamental ideas are, association and disinterested intervention, the pacific and tutelary intervention of the state. We do not pretend that the state should become the only industriel of the kingdom; but we wish it to be understood, that the state has a great duty to fulfil in what regards those who suffer. What we wish is, that the state should be the tutor of credit, giving credit not only to the rich, but to the poor. What we have dematiaed is, that the state should be the protector of the poor, and their tutor. Ido not know, from the bottom of my heart, if many of those who now hear me would be disposed to contradict me. The cry has been put forward of " Take care of the war of those who possess nothing against those who possess." This is a cry which has not issued from the hearts or mouths of any one. Association is a noble and beautiful thing; not because it will displace riches, but becau.se it will make them universal, by making them fruitful ; and because it will raise the level of the people and of humanity.—(Cheers.) PRINCESS'S THEATRE. A piece in two acts, called --1 Day at Docer, w as pro duced at this th eatre l ast n i ght, chiefly for the pui•poses of Mad ame ho W.IG provid.„l belonging to a class in which her peculiar fascinations have plentiful scope for display. The plot is founded, hypothetically, upon the return of Charles the Second to this country after the dc ath of the great hero of the Commonwealth, Oliver Crum:cll. Madame Anna Thillon performs the part of a Pariskti milliner, Henriette. who is induced by Count Carvallio, a Portu guese nobleman (Mr. Fisher), to impersonate the Queen of the exiled Monarch; the objet hcing to with draw the attention of the people and the functionaries of Dover from tip. real royalties, who arrive, as is presumed, incog. Madame Anna Thillon played the part of the " Queen for an hour" (the piece, we believe, is founded upon a French drama, entitled La Rcine d'un Jour), with a great deal of spirit and as surance, and sang several songs, the composition of Mr. Loder, with considerable applause. In the end, how ever, she acknowledges her plebeian origin, and resigns herself happily into the arms of her devoted lover, Richard, a French sailor (Mr. Conway). Mr. Compton had a tolerably good part, that of a tavern keeper at Dover, where the soi•disant queen alights, and who vacillated admirably between his republican principles and his loyal inducements. The piece, however, having little in it, hung very heavily till the final fall of the curtain, which, on the announcement of the happy " Resteration,"gave occasion for the performance of the National Anthem by the orchestra, which was received with enthusiasm. THE COLOSSEUM. As a spectacle the Colosseum in the Regent's l Park continues to 1 e unrivalled. We say this sNitlicut I in any manner depreciating the scientific advantag iafforded by that more pretentious establishment, the Polytechnic Institution, or the architectural and panoramic • illusions of the Diorama, or tl:e ingenious modellings of Madame Tussaud's Ex hibition, or any other, in fact, of the p :pu'ar sights of the metropolis. As a spectacle, the Colos seum remains, we assert, unrivalled—whether as to grandeur, variety, or cheapness. Instead of the gigantic panorama of London as viewed from the tower of St. Paul's Cathedral, we have, this year, spread out before the eye a very ex traordinary work of art—a bird's eye view of the great city of Paris, beheld, as it were, from the car of a balloon suspended over the garden of the Tuileries. Altogether the illusion is matchless. Looking down from your apparent elevation you can almost deceive yourself into the belief, that you are veritably gazing upan that famous spot which one half of Christendom I regards as the capital of pleasure, and the other half 1 as the capital of civilization. In every direction your glance is arrested by the delineation of that most remarkable metropolis. Here you see the prolonged front of the Louvre, in whose vast galleries are stored so many productions of genius. There you perceive the famous Arc d'Etoile, under the span of which, only a few days since, the Provisional Government of the Republic stood to receive the homage of the armed citizens. On one hand is the Palais Royale where Egalite schemed against the Bourbon dynasty, where Louis Philippe received the blessing of Voltaire, and where the young Camille Desmoulins first mounted the tri-color. On the other hand is the Madeleine, the fane raised at the mandate of the Emperor, and over the grand altar of which is represesented the apo • theosis of Napoleon. Now your eye wanders along the parapets of the different bridges on the Seine, now it travels along the brilliant line of the Boulevards, now it rests upon the Rue de la Paix, now upon the Hotel de Ville, now upon Notre Dame, now upon the National Institute, now upon the Place de la Concorde, and row upon the Place Vendome, with its superb pillar of commemoration. You gaze on in breathless admiration, you breathe the very atmo sphere of Paris, you listen in imagination to the cries in its streets, to the rumbling of its carriages, to the striking o f it s church clocks, you watch the fli c k er i ng ots tho usan d lamps, and the lights which glitter in f i its windows —for the city is revealed to you as it nishin g appearsby moonlight, and the beams of that beautiful satellite' , to ourb are reflected in the river with such an asto vi7vioitdn_eshs that:you forget for the moment that deception of a you are knowledge, ol beholding a marvellousnever vraisemblance itPsi before cetevthkeinvde—ryit t s h e i e n m g s sa I are transported in i m tae o l r f e . tha i n ,ou a an instant scene of revolutions across the Channel to the retire from the spectacle republicanism, and you admiration. ethereathless, dizzy, and full of Among Colosseum must be other attraction s of the to the public—the mentio n ed cavern , tithe, those so long familiar ture, the stalactite caverns, etflo, or museum of sculp- Swiss cottage, the Gothic avia rner de glace with the the conservatories.

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. PORTSMOUTH, MAY 7.—A court of inquiry, compris ing Captains Yates, of the Illustrious, Dundas, of the Powerful, and Eden, of the Victory, sat on board the BAlerophon, 78, Captain Baynes, on Friday and Satur day, to investigate reports of a most extraordinary cha racter and variety, with regard to the wholesale desertion from the ship (Bellerophon), and the great amount of punishment which had been inflicted upon h'er crew during the seven months she had been in commission. In the course of this time about 1,600 lashes have been administered, and 94 men were posted " run" upon the books up to yesterday. His royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, accom panied by a small retinue, arrived here at eleven o'clock yesterday morning. The Prince's carriage was taken into the Royal Clarence Victualling Establishment by Mr. Saperintendent Stevens, of Gosport. Captain Eden, of the Victory, was in waiting on his Royal Highness, and showed him over the establishment, crossing to the dockyard in Sir Charles Ogle's barge. Captain Eden escorted the Royal party over the dockyard, on board the Victory :Ind Excellent. The Prince partook of lun clieon with Sir C. Ogle, and returned to London by the thirty minutes past five afternoon train. The Pluto steam-sloop, Lieutenant-Commander R. Richardson, arrived at Limerick, from Dublin and Cork, on the 30th ult. Wind south, moderate breezes, and fine weather. "- • M A RINES PROMOTIONS. Second-Lieutenant A. F. Sutherland, of the Plymouth division, to be First-Lieutenant, and appointed to the same division, vice Winne, dismissed the service. First-Lieutenant E. S. Browne, of the Chatham divi sion, to be Captain at that division. vice Brevet-Major J. Fynmore, retired on full pay. Second-Lieutenant E. Richards. of the Chatham divi sion, to be First-Lieutenant at that division, vice Brov. - ne, promoted. Mr. Peter Rolt, the contractor for the enlargement and repairs of the new marine barracks at Gosport, has commenced the construction of a new practice battery on an improved plan, suggested by Major Calamy, gunnery instructor, immediately in rear of Forton barracks. The decision come to by the Admiralty at their recent inspection of these barracks, to purchase all the buildings abutting on the boundary wall on either side of th 3 gate, has, we are told, caused considerable altera tions to be made in the plans of the proposed new buildings ; and as the experiment of keeping a portion of this division on either side of the harbour under one commandant, has proved to be highly inconvenient, and in many respects prejudicial to the interests of the ser vice, it is now contemplated to increase these barracks sufficiently to contain the whole division, including the artillery companies, for whom a depot of practice and instruction will be established at Fort Moncton, as was the case some years since.

Mr. OKEY said that their Chairman bad alluded to the qui tarn actions ; but were they aware that 1,400 notices of actions had been served, to recover in the aggregate the enormous sum of 140,0001. Could there be any doubt what was the object ? It was to frighten the licensed victuallers into a compromise. It was, however, to be hoped that every member in the trade would have the firmness to resist every attempt at com promise. As far as he was concerned, he was determined to defend the action which had been brought against him to the last. He would sooner expend 5001. than give Is. to tl, informer. If they were firm, he felt con vinced the :m: ping would be heard of these qui tam ac tions. Mt. Ukey proposed the following resolution:— " That this meeting pledges itself to defend to the utmost the qui tam actions which have been brought against them individually, and not to agree or listen to any cone. promise." Mr. BENNETT seconded the resolution, which was put and carried unanimously. A desultory conversation ensued, in the course of which it was observed that offers had been made to withdraw the action if the sum of 251. was paid, and ...f,eibts had been drawn out and sent round. It was, livirovui, „ t the penalty could be recovere d t h at the sanction of the Attorney-General must be obtained, and when that was got, then the informer would not be entitled to any part of the penalty. The wisest course to adopt would be to get the Attorney-General to move the Court of Ex chequer for a writ of prohibition to the plaintiff to stay the proceedings, they not being for the public good, but merely fur the purpose of putting money into the pocket of the prosecutor. This suggestion was adopted, and, after a vote of thanks to the chairman and Mr. Okey, for their aid and co-operation, the meeting adjourned.— IVeekly Dispatch. ALLEGED MURDERS AT STONELEIGH ABBEY THIRTY YEARS AGo.—lt may be recollected that some years ago a long protracted claim was made by a person named George Leigh, as the rightful owner of the es tates of Lord (then Mr. Chandos) Leigh, and the dis pute was brought to a close by the defeat of the former. A new claimant in the person of John Leigh, whose family resides in Lancashire, succeeded in effecting a forcible entrance into Stoneleigh Abbey, during the ab sence of its noble owner in November, 1t44. The new claimant, with his relations and friends, to the number of thirty-two, some of whom wore alleged to have been attracted to the spot from mere motives of curiosity, were taken into custody, and tried before Mr. Justice Patteson, at a special gaol delivery, shortly afterwards, and defended by Mr. Temple. Twenty. eight of them were found guilty. James Leigh was sentenced to eighteen months' imprisonment with hard labour; Thomas Leigh and two others to twelve months; and the remainder to three months' imprisonment. It was at that time thought that an end was entirely put to the claim to Stoneleigh Abbey on the part of the Lancashire Leighs; but a thlevity be , before a was llengthened oked upon investigation four of the county magistrates, at Warwick, on Saturday made char g e the subject at first last, and which alleged that the present noble possessor of the Abbey had been guilty of the heinous crime of murder. The substance of the charge was, that his Lordship had ordered two labourers, employed in the construction of a bridge on his estate, to be killed and buried beneath the abutment of the bridge, in the pre sence of himself, Lady Julia Leigh, and a large number of other persons. The charge was supported by several witnesses, who swore that they had been present on the occasion. Eventually the magistrates refused to enter tain the charge. DISGRACEFUL OUTRAGE.—BRADFORD, FRIDAY.— Yesterday, at the Court-house, George Hilton, a young man, said to be respectably connected, was brought before the magistrates, charged with having committed a most despicable outrage on Miss Louisa Joanna Kings man, a highly accomplished young lady, about eighteen years of age, the daughter of the Rev. Mr. Kingsman, the vicar of Gilderstone. In order that the feelings of the young lady and her relatives might not be further distressed by detailing the facts in the public court, the case was heard in tho magistrate's private room. The fats are as follows :---On Friday afternoon, Miss Kings man left the parsonage for a brother-in-law's residence, in Gilderstone•streef, a distance of about two miles. She had to cross a field by a footpath, and on nearing the end of it she was overtaken by the prisoner, who ad• dressed her in the most indecent terms. As far as pos sible she endeavoured to avoid his unmanly conduc t, and r as she was attempting to hasten frontihim, h e s eized from the path, and gravel-pit some four or five yar ds he commenced an having thrown her down into i t, by the arms and round the aist.

HISTORICAL LECTURE ON THE ACQUITTAL OF THE SEVEN BISIIOPS.—The Rev. Hugh Stowell, M.A., Honorary Canon of Chester, delivered a lecture upon the above subject, in Exeter Hall, last evening, being assisted in his illustrations by the celebrated picture painted by J. R. Herbert, Esq., R.A., which was hung for the occasion before the large organ. The chair was occupied by Storey, Esq., who introduced the Rev. Lecturer with a few complimentary words, after which prayers having been said, the lecturer entered into an historical account of the trial and acquittal referred to, and also into various points connected with the Reforma tion. He was much applauded throughout his discourse. By our letters from the Pacific we may announce that her Majesty's brigantine, Spy, now on her way to England, will not bring any freight.

The Llewellyn, intended for the Holyhead mail steam packet service, went down the river on Saturday on an experimental trial; and the result was a speed of 15.53 knots or 17.89 miles per hour, the draught of water being 9 feet aft and 8 feet 7i inches forward, and the number of revolutions 27,62 per minute. C ilk - ~+ , 1 11( SURREY THEATRE. —• An entire change of performance at this theatre took place yesterday evening. A romantic and traditionary drama, in three acts, entitled The Three Red Men, was the opening piece, being substantially identical, we ()dive, with Le Fits du Diable, which recently attracted some attention in Paris, and of which Paul Feval is the author. The plot was somewhat intricate, turning chiefly on the mysterious murder, in the night, of a Count and his wife at their own mansion, and the subsequent for tunes of a surviving son (who first saw the light on the night of this double tragedy), until, with dramatic jus tice, he is restored to the possession of his ancestral estate. The assassins, four in number, contrive to keep possession in the interval, and establish a banking house in the vicinity. One of the redmen, a brother of the murdered lady, is the chief instrument in restoring the heir to hia rights. A miniature attached to the neck of the orphan performs its due part in clearing up all possible doubt as to his identity. There was some very credible acting. Miss Richardson made her first appear ance for the season, and personated one of the principal characters, and Mrs. R. Honnor, as the orphan, made the best of her part. The second piece was The Irish Tutor, in which Mr. T. Barry, so long familiar at Astley's, at. tempted, and not without considerable success, the cele brated Doctor O'Toole. There w as no l ac k o f merri ment on the part of the audience, and the parts were all sustained with vivacity and spirit. 7'he Bride of the Bleeding Heart terminated the entertainment. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—This popular place of amusement is announced to open at the latter end of the present month, under the management of Mr. Wardell, sole lessee. During the recess great improvements have been made, and a variety of artists are now actively en gaged in renovating and redecorating the " royal pro perty." The grand piece de resistance for th e ensu i ng season will be a panoramic view of the City of Con stantinople. The illuminations and fireworks will be on a scale of great splendour, uniting novelty in design with brilliancy of execution, and the other entertain ments (including a first-rate troupe of equestrians), will be of an amusing and varied character. POST-OFFICENOTICE.—Tba following notice to the public, and instructions to ail postmasters, sub-post masters, and letter receivers, was posted at the General Post-office : —" Henceforward the following additional privileges will be extended to printed books, magazines, reviews, and pamphlets, which are now allowed to be transmitted by the post within the United Kingdom at reduced rates of postage, under certain regulations— viz. :—First, The name and address of the sender may be written or printed upon or in any such book, maga zine, review, or pamphlet so sent, or on the envelope or cover thereof, in addition to the name and address of the person to or for whom it shall be forwarded. Secondly, Any other writing may be on any leaf of any such book, magazine, review, or pamphlet so sent, or on the bindle.- thereof, provided that such last-mentioned writing be on one and the self same page of the book, or corre sponding portion of the binding. The existing regula tions, so far as they are not affected by these conces sions, must be strictly adhered to, and the privileges now granted in no way exceeded, otherwise the packet must be charged as a letter, and treated as such in all respects." The operations recently carried on against the city of St. John of Nicaragua by her Majesty's forces, under the command of Captain Granville Loch, have been at tended with complete success. After a severe service of 35 days, during which the officers and seatnen of the party never slept out of their boats, and maintained with considerable difficulty their position in the country, a treaty of amity was at length concluded by the senior officer, Captain Loch, accompanied by Captains Ryder and Peel, with the State of Nicaragua, by which all the points in dispute were satisfactorily adjusted. We un derstand that the gallant commander of this little expe dition has been designated as a Companion of the Bad], and that the junior officers of the Alarm and the Daring will receive immediate promotion.
