(From the Westminster Gazette•) In the county of Leicester, partially isolated from the strife and bustle of the world, in a bleak and lonely district, amid the rocky hills of Charn wood Forest, stands the Cistercian Abbey of Mount St. Bernard. There are few places to be met with in England of equal extent, so com pletely divested of all natural beauty, presenting such a barren and uncultivated aspect as that part of the country in which the abbey is situated. It is, beyond all question, a spot not likely to influ ence the minds of those who dwell in its solitude with a favourable idea of the world they have left behind them, or chill the ardour of those who be lieve that the only true happiness to be met with, even in this life, is in our aspirations after a higher and a purer state of existence in the world to come. There are, however, places far more void of natural fertility, and at the same time wear a more pleasant and luxuriant aspect. It has neither the wild beauty of mountain scenery, nor the terrific grandeur of the desert, but it is a dull, uninteresting tract of country, diversified only by. stupendous rocks, whose elevated forms, uncloathed by a vestige of verdure, are exposed to every blast of winter. The site of this abbey, however, does not differ, in one particular at least, from those on which, generally speaking, the ancient monasteries of this country were constructed. I mean in point of lone liness of situations. If we observe, we shall find that scenes the most remote from the busier haunts of society some mountain solitude or lonely height looking out upon the sea—were invariably selected as the foundations of religious houses. The abbey of Mount St. Bernard, in Charn wood Forest, was founded in the year 1835, ex actly 300 years having elapsed from the suppres sion of the larger monasteries by King Henry the Eighth in 1535. This abbey belongs to that branch of the Benedictine Order called Cistercian —from Citeaux, where St. Stephen Harding, an Englishman, built the first abbey in 1098. St. Stephen was born in Dorset, and received his education at the monastery of Sherboue, in the same county. Ile, having left England, travelled to Paris and Rome, visited several of the monas teries in Italy, and eventually settled down in the abbey of Malesme, in the diocese of Langres. But the discipline in this community becoming re laxed, he, together with St. Robert and Alberic, withdrew to the desert of Citeaux, in the vicin ity of Dijon. Here these pious and holy men restored all the most perfect usages of ancient monasticism, as practised by the primitive Chris tians of the Church. The fame of their sanctity soon spread into distant countries; and in a few years monasteries of the Cistercian Order were founded in almost every nation of Christendom. The Abbeys of Fontaines, and Riveaux, in York shire, and Tintern Abbey, in Monmouthshire, were houses of the Cistercian Order. The Monks of this order never eat flesh meat, fish, or eggs, and the only animal food of which they partake is milk and cheese. Their Lent is much longer than that observed by the rest of the Church. It com mences on the 14th of September, the Feast of the Exaltation of the Cross, and terminates at the Festival of our Lord's Resurrection. They also observe silence, and never speak except to the Abbot, or with his permission. They also till the ground attached to the monastery. They rise every morning at two o'clock, and on the great festival at midnight for the celebration of matins. When the Monks received the grants of the land on which the Abbey of Mount St. Bernard is built, five of them commenced the foundation of the present monastery. For the first year they lived in a miserable hut, which was incapa ble of sheltering them from the inclemency of the weather. By the aid, however, of the faith ful, and particularly by Thomas Gisborne, Esq., M.P. for Derbyshire, A. P. De Lisle, Esq., of Garendon House, and the Earl of Shrewsbury, they were soon able to raise the present beauti ful monastery. Convenient to the abbey is St. Mary's Colony, which is under the direction of Thomas A. Carroll, Esq., a most able and in telligent gentleman, who Llas not only suc ceeded in preserving it from utter ruin, but also in raising it to be one of the first institutions of its sort in the empire. The Abbey of Mount St. Bernard has been of late an object of much curiosity. It has been visited by strangers from all parts of the kingdom, and we believe few leave it (however they may differ from the re ligion observed within its walls), without finding their prejudices greatly softened by the kindness and generous welcome they receive from the monks. The Cistercian Order has an undoubted claim upon the English nation. It was founded by an Englishman in a country not his own, who was honoured as a great servant of God during life, and enrolled in the catalogue of the saints after his death. There was a time when the advice of Stephen Harding was respected by Englishmen, and the beautiful ruins of Fontaines, of Riveaux, and of Tintern bear honourable testimony to the respect with which they revered his me mory. But when these abbeys—which is our sad consolation to behold only in ruins—were plun dered, and the monks either massacred or driven into exile, the memory of St. Stephen was obli terated from the English mind. For three hundred years his name was scarcely whispered, and the abbeys wherein obedience was paid to his religious precepts became silent and deserted. But can we say that we have outlived this long nigh tof re ligious darkness? Can we point to the Abbey of Mount St. Bernard as the revival of that insti tution, which. lived on in an unbroken line from Augustine to Pole, and to embrace which so many of the ancient monarchs of this coun try left their thrones, as well as our ancestors their homes and everything they held most dear in the world. Yes, the progress of toleration has inspired us with hopes sufficient to awaken high anticipations of a, successful future. We believe that the : aspirations of the heart after spiritual perfection are best satisfied by a monastic life. We, therefore, hope that the day is not far off when monasticism will again flour ish in this country, and when abbeys will be met with everywhere throughout the length and breadth of the land, as in the times long passed away.

DRIVEN TO CRIME TIIROUGII thsTßEss.—John Crawford, a young man, who was described as of " no fixed home," was charged • before Mr. Knox with stealing, at 374, Oxford-street, 14 pairs of socks, of the value of 145., the property of Mr. J. F. Hammond, hosier. Mr. Hammond proved seeing the prisoner take the socks from his door and run off N‘ith them. lie pursued the prisoner and gave him into custody. Michael Gorman, 72 E, said he found the socks on the prisoner, and he admitted taking them. He refused his addrbss. In answer to the charge, the prisoner said—l have found my living till now by hard work. I left Burnley, and travelled from place to place, and and came to London and got work. I then fell out of work and went to Maidstone and worked there. 1 again got out of work, and have had no work since. I then lived first on what money I had, and then by selling my clothes. I then became worse off than ever, and went to the casual wards at different workhouses, and had nothing to live on but what they gave me at those places—often only a piece of bread. When I again came to. London I was hungry and starving. I went to a police-station near Camden-town and asked for a night's lodging. They said I must go -to Somers-town, and on my asking my way there the officer looked sus piciously at me, as if he thought I knew the way, and then said, " Straight on." I got a job to hold a horse, and after spending what I received, and feeling very hungry, I saw the socks at the door of the prosecutor's shop, and thinking. I could get something by selling them I took them. Poole, the assistant-gaoler, said the prisoner's hands bore appearances of hard work. The prisoner—The reason why I have not refer red to persons who know me is because I am deter mined that those who knew me as an honest youth shall not know me as a thief. Mr. Knox said the prisoner's story, if true, was a lamentable one. He would remand the prisoner for a few days, so that he should be carefully looked at by the London police to see if he was known. Barns, the gaoler, said the prisoner had been seen by a greater number of the police than usual. Mr. Knox said the prisoner's was a hard story, and asked Mr. Hammond, after what he had heard, if he wished to go on with the case. Mr. Hammond said the prisoner's was a distress ing case, and declined to press the charge any further. Mr. Knox discharged the 'prisoner, and strongly but feelingly recommended him, not to offend again. THAMES. STEALING TEA IN A DOCK.—William Leeman, a dock labourer, aged 27, was brought before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing lib. 4oz. of tea, the property of the London and St. Katherine Dock Company. James Davidson, a constable, said the prisoner was about to pass out of the S. Katherine Pock and he stopped him and searched him, and found in each stocking, which the prisoner was wearing on his legs, 10 ounces of tea. The prisoner had been at work in the B warehouse, where tea in large quan tities were deposited. On the way to the station house the prisoner was exceedingly violent. The prisoner, in defence, said he had been out of work three or four weeks, and was in great distress and difficulty. He had been lately advanced and received an " extra ticket," enabling him to receive employment in the dock as an extra labourer. lle was only taken on at two in the afternoon. Mr. Partrid:,re said thaVdirectly the prisoner ob tained work he commenced pilfering. He sentenced him to one month's imprisonment and hard labour. MARKE TS.-- 1 his day. MARK-LANE.

THE GOVERNMENT REFORM BILL.—Mr. Jesse Turner has given notice of "the following motion at the nest court of Common Council :—" That in the opinion of this court the propositions cf the Government in reference to Reform do not meet the just anticipations and require ments of the country, and that this court do accordingly petition Parliament against the bill introduced to amend the representation of the people." The threatened extinction of the political privi leges of the boroughs of Lancaster and Great Yarmouth has put the authorities of both places on the alert, and two boroughs have ;.; , ?on p resented to Parliament, praying petitions froi2. the mayor, aldermen, and burgesses of t he that the capital, seni,on,lg ppm them may not be carried out The Price of Gold. The quotation of gold at Paris is abet's itt par, and the short exchange on London is 25.15 per £1 sterlinis. On tomparing these rates with the English Mint price of 158, 'cid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about I.loth per cent. dearer in Paris than in London. course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 108/ per cent. At this rate there is no profit oa the importation of gold from the Ualted States; WARWICK RACES.-THRSDAY. The welcome change in the weather occurred this morning, and the signs of thaw, slight as they were, fairly gladdened the hearts of the professional bettors assembled at Leamington and Warwick. The snow, however, still laid thickly about and around the running-ground, which bad a curious appearance from having been cleared from the top to the bottom of the straight run in, and the centre of the course being covered with snow. As may be readily imagined, the going was dreadfully heavy, and especially on the far side, and some of the jockeys that rode during the afternoon were almost indistinguishable as they passed the post, so slush-bespattered were their faces and jackets. It having been " wired" - 1111 over the country on Wednes day night that the sport was certain to come off, this mornh,g's trains.brought a large accession of general com pany, and the attendance within the enclosure was almost up to the average of the spring meetings at 'Warwick, but outside the ring there were very few people, and of car riages—usually there are dozens of them—only four were visible. In consequence of a case heard at the Court House in the morning, and which will be found reported in another column, it was thought the betting boxes ad jacent to the Stand would be abandoned, but the list keepers took up the stations they occupied on Tuesday, and, as usual, their- votaries included most of the small speculators. The card comprised the items left over from the first day's programme, and business began at two o'clock with the Stand Handicap, for which The Rock and Feodor were the most fancied. Lord Westmoreland put a lot of money on the first-named, who was one of the first beaten, and Feodor was rapidly upset at the finish by Salamanca, a stout-looking colt by Arthur Wellesley, and the property of the "Dalby" party, who got him out of a selling race at Hampton Autumn last year for 335 guineas. The Willoughby Handicap terminated in favour of The Beadle, supported so freely at first by his owner and friends that he had the call• of the seven runners, though towards the close he gave way to Indigestion, who, however, stood no chance with the Duke's representative. On the list In digestion was rianied as Captain Machell's, but 'prior to the race he was-purchased by Lord Jersey, and ran in the once well-known colours, "buff and purple stripes," which were borne - SudcesSfully'by Middleton, Mameluke, and Bay Middleton , for the "blue. riband" races Of 1825, 1827,,arid 1837. For the Two-yr-old Sweepstakes Eau de Vie , was . opposed by three " dark" candidates, of whom the filly by Lambton —Wingi4i-a-Dove—purchased by Lord West moreland last year for a mere "song"—bad plenty of friends, though not so many as Captain Hawksley's colt, who was behind Ninny both at Lincoln and Notting ham. The captain laid an even 1000 and 600 to 400 on his youngster, who cantered in front throughout; and the Five Furlongs Handicap was a very hollow affair for Chibisa (half brother to Zambesi), who was once freely backed for the Derby of last year. His light weight served him, and he won with at•least a stone in hand, while the Hunters' Stakes proved almost a canter for Clatford, who could take no part in his recent race at Chelmsford. When the betting operations commenced Royal Tartan was the favourite, the Duke of Hamilton taking 250 to 200 three times about him, and his grace would probably have had better luck had he started Kinglake. Tennyson, after nearly blundering on to his head at the first jump, landed the Hurdle Race, and the fielders got a turn over the concluding event, which came off about half-past five. In the intervals of racing there was a little betting on future events, and the feature of it was the support given to Sea Mew for the City and Suburban, the filly, who is by Orlando, out of Ossifrage, being almost as good a favourite as anything at the close. A return is appended : --- The Stand Handicap of 5 sovs each, 2 ft, with 30 added.; winners after March 15,, at ten a.m., 51b extra; one mile ; 13 subs. Mr. W. G.

There was a slight delay prior to the flag falling, and when the signal was given The Rock got off with the lead, attended by Gordian Knot and Feodor, the rest being together, with the exception of Amour Propro and Mouchoir, who were tailed off early. Before reaching the bend into the straight, The Rock was passed by Peodor and Gordian Knot, and when fairly in the line for home, Salamanca took third place, and at the distance headed Feodor, whom he beat, after an exciting struggle, by half a length ; Gordian Knot dropped away from the stand, and finished a bad third ; The Rock being fourth, Under the Cloud fifth, Amour Propre sixth, and Mouchoir last.

Stockinger got off badly, Black Prince taking a lead of Brick and John Halifax down the far side and along the Star close to the half-mile post, where Nnkuheva came through, the latter soon taking the command. After rounding the turn John Halifax, Black Prince, and Brick dropped off, and Nukuheva came along close to the out side rails, attended by Indigestion and the Beadle, the latter of whom took the command from the stand, and won by a length ; about three lengths dividing the second and third; Brick was fourth, Stockinger fifth;.

Parker, of the " Man _ Chester Arms" Hotel, Warwick, was summoned by a per _ son of the name of John Duffin, of Newcastle-upon-Tyne, for having let certain betting-bo?res or stands on the War wick Racecourse to several betting men for the transaction of wagering during the race meeting now being held at Warwick. Mr. H. C. Passmore, of Warwick, appeared for the plain tiff ; Mr. F. Tibbetts, of Warwick, for the defendant. This most important question to many corporation; clerks of courses, lessees, and others, having charge of race grounds, is creating a great amount of interest, especially amongst the sporting fraternity, although more particularly amongst the "small bookmakers," who bet in the ring. They (the small bookmakers) for some time past have loudly complained that the "lists" or "box" betting has nearly destroyed their avocation ; and, believing that letting any portion of the ground at a race-meeting for the purpose of "betting-stands" was illegal, took the present proceeding; the substance of which will be gleaned from the following report: — The ground for the erection of betting-stands at War wick, it appears, is let by the Chamberlain to Mr. J. Parker for £5O a-year, and he (Parker) sub=lets the same to respectable betting-men at ".f.,5 per box," or whatever sum cin be agreed upon or obtained. At 10.30 yesterday morning, when the case came on for hearing, the court was crowded, the first witness being a Mr. Smith, a cabiuetniaker, of Newcastle-upou-Tyue, •' who proved that he saw Mr. Parker, the defendant, iu one of the boxes on the course delivering tickets to &Ay one of those parties who took one of the boxes. The other witness was the plaintiff, who stated that his name was John Duffin, and that he Was a native of New castle-upon-Tyne, and was a betting man, and had been one for a great number of years. He saw John Parker at a box, and on a cloth which surrounded it were printed the names of J. Hewitt, Leamington, and J. Parker, Man chester Arms, Warwick. He saw Parker deliver several tickets from the box, but could not say what they, were about. In cross-examination by Mr. Tibbetts, Witness denied having sent word to the defendant Parker that if he (Parker) did not allow him (Duffin) to erect his "Judy" on the course, he (witness) would do Parker all the injury pos- Bible. He, however, afterwards admitted having sent a message to Mr. Parker, but it was sent as from a friend (Laughter.) Mr. Tibbetts—l believe you have repeatedly been turned off the race-course and out of the ring? Mr. Passmore objected to this question, and recommended Puffin not to answer it. Mr. Tibbetts—l believe you wore at Carlisle the year Master Bagot won the Cumberland Plate ? • Mr. Passmore again objected to the question. . Mr. Tibbets replied that he was compelled to ask a few of those questions for the purpose of proving what the sta bility and respectability of the witness consisted in. Witness—l was not there. Mr. Passmore—That is my case, your worships. Mr. Tibbetts then asked the bench if they considered there was an answer required from him as nothing was proved against Mr. Parker ; if there had been anything established he had a satisfactory answer thereto. After a short consultation, the magistrates stated they would like to hear what Mr. Tibbetts had to say. The latter gentleman, then addressing the Bench, con tended that this information, which was laid agaiwst the defendant, was laid under the Act for the "Suppression of Betting Houses," which surely the Legislature never in tended should apply or extend to race-courses; and he, therefore, submitted that Mr. Passmore had totally failed to prove his case. What had either the plaintiff or his witness proved? That they saw Mr.' Parker in a box, but did not hear him say or do anything, except giving a ticket away, the purport of which they knew nothing; and, therefore, on that ground, "if on nothing else," the prosecution bad broken down. (Cheers.) The Chairman (Mr. Smith), after a short consultation with Mr. Dodds and examination of the statute-book, said — As this prosecution is under one of the penal statutes we require that very stringent and strict pedof be adduced before we can convict, and in this case we consider suffi cient proof has not been brought forward. We, therefore, dismiss the case. (Loud cheers.) _ ,Mr: Passmore stated he fully coneurted in their worships' decision, for when the plaintiff applied to hini he informed hint that he thought his case would bretk down, for Mn Parker, instead of being owner of th e land, was min occupier, and the summons having be en taken out as such could not be remedied. general rge an The decision of the Bench appeared t d ° g also i Z a large satisfaction to those within the court, body who were assembled in the Iligh-straet.

(The following appeared in our third edition of yes terday evening.) _ _ A large number of Mr. Gladstone's supporters met this afternoon, pursuant to circular invitation, at the right hon gentleman's residence, Carlton-gardens. Half-past two o'clock was the hour of meeting, but some considerable time before that a large number of persons assembled in. the neighbourhood of Carlton-gardens to witness the ar rivals. Lip to two o'clock but 15 members had passed in, but soon afterwards they began to arrive in rapid succes- sion. Mr. Gladstone addressed the meeting, in the course of which he denounced the bill as one of the vilest character, but said at the same time that he would not take upon him self the responsibility of joining issue upon the second read ing, because he not only believed there was a large number of gentlemen who would like to have it read a second time, but that the opposition would be of the most determined nature. He then passed on to say, that when the bill went into committee the county franchise should be extended beyond the amount proposed by the Government measure, and that the redistribution of seats should be further modified; that voting papers should be done away with, and compound householders permitted to vote. Ho would also advocate the lodger franchise. Alter some ogler remarks, he again repeated that be would not run the risk of recommending the bill being opposed upon the second reading. The majority of the members expressed theiracquiescence in what had fallen from the right hon. gentleman, and the meeting separated. Bank of England Returns.—Last Evening.
