The country markets heldo; Saturday were moderately supplied with wheat, in which only a limited business was transacted on lower terms. There was very little doing in barley, and the quotations had a downward tendency. All other articles met a dull inquiry. HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.) The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the wool sack at 12 o'clock. ROUSE OF LORDS' COURT OF APPEAL. 99 - 101 102 - 104 Lord ST. LEONARDS moved , for a return of the number of appeals heard and disposed of by their lord ships during the past five years, distinguishing those from England, Ireland, and Scotland, with the decisions in each case. His lordship pro ceeded to state that he was induced to do so in consequence of remarks that bad been made by the Solicitor-General, tending to lower this Court of Appeal in the estimation of the public, from justice not being properly administered, and defended at some length the jurisdiction of this house and those who took part in it. He had always paid the utmost attention to appeals brought before their lordship, and felt satisfied other noble lord. had dune the same. Lord CAMPBELL said he had seen with indignation the attack said to have been made on their lordships by her Majesty's Solicitor-General, which had a direct ten• dency of bringing the jurisdiction of that house into dis repute. He considei ed the attack, which was an attack more especially on the Lord Chancellor, entirely un founded—(hear, hear)—and if the words reported to have been said by the learned Solicitor-General were true, the learned gentleman supposed justice was not satisfactorily dealt out by their lordships. Nothing could be more unfounded than such an assertion, and he gave it a positive denial from the experience he had had in that house. He (Lord Campbell) gave as much at tention to the cases brought before their lordships' house as lie did the cases brought before him when sitting in the Court of Queem'a Bench. (Hear, hear.) The LORD CHANCELLOR said he concurred in all that had been said by their lordships on the necessity of their retaining the judicial functions of that house unimpaired. The judicial business of their lordships' house—of which he spoke with diffidence, from being at its head—but putting that aside, it had been very satis factory and well conducted. (Hear.) The attack was divided into two heads, one arising from the nature of the tribunal, and the other the manner in which their lordships performed their functions. With regard to the latter charge, as he understood it, the Solicitor-Ge neral had stated in another place that the proceed ings were conducted by persons performing the function of judges who some times heard but part of a case, yet decided it as if they had heard the whole ; which, he summed up by stating, was more discreditable than any thing done by the judges of the interior courts of justice. He (the Lord Chancellor) denied that noble lords took part in judicial decisions without having first heard the causes. The charge, if well-founded, was one of the utmost impor tance, and deserved immediate remedy ; but, happily, it did not require it from being unfounded. (Hear, hear.) It was essentially important this tribunal should be kept in its present form, for practically their were no deficiencies in it. As to the constitution of the tribunal, he could say that politics had no influ ence with the noble lords in their decision. The motion was agreed to. The Consolidated Fund Appropriation bill, the Ex chequer Bills (7,000,0001.) bid, and the Militia Pay bill were read a third time and passed. The Commons' amendments to the School Grants! (se curity for application) bill were considered and agreed to. Our advices from Now York state that the supplies of grain and flour were on the increase, and that the demand for them ruled heavy. In' tho continental markets very little is doing on English account. 135 - The arrivals of English grain up to or market, last week. w•re very moderate. The imports of foreign were 10,790 quarters ofwheat, 6,804 barley, 29,869 oats, 2,020 beans, 271 peas, 4 tares, 6,792 linseed, 3,035 rapeseed, 9 mustard seed, 1,570 sundry seeds, and 3,568 sack of flour. The quantity of English wheat received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, was but moderate ; nevertheless, the show of samples of both red and white was tolerably good, the time of year considered. Owing to the prevailing fine weather for harvest work, and the thin attendance of both town and country millers, the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat was excessively heavy, at a fall in the prices obtained on Monday last of 2s per quarter. In some instances damp qualities were 3s per quarter cheaper than on that day. With foreign wheat—fresh as well as ex-granary—we were well supplied. Dealers generally purchased with ex treme caution, and the trade was heavy in the extreme, at prices fully 2s per quarter beneath those paid on this day sennight. Floating cargoes off the coast, the arrivals of which are good, were much neglected, and lower to purchase. The show of barley was good. All kinds moved off slowly, and the quotations were the turn in favour of buyers. Malt sold slowly, but no change took place in prices. Good sound oats moved off steadily, at full quotations.

OXFORD UNIVERSITY. Lord MON rEAGLE presented a petition from Sir Culling Eardley on the subject of a new regulation made at Oxford, with respect to the admission to the degree of master of arts, whereby the petititioner bad been prevented from being admitted to the degree. The LORD CHANCELLOR regretted that such a regulation should have been made, as that complained of by the petitioner, and which, if carried out stringeutly, would have the effect of makinglthe last enactment, with reference to this university, a dead letter and inoperative The Earl of HARROWBY expressed himself op posed to the regu:ations complained of, which w , :.re adopted by the heads of the University in too narrow a point. The subject then dropped. Ou the motion of Lord MONTEAGLE, copies of the address from the CJnvecation of the province of Canter. bury, and her Majesty's reply were ordered to be laid on the tab:e. The house adjourned at 20 minutes past 1 o'clock, till to-morrow at half-past 1. ASSIZE INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) HOME CIRCUIT.—CROYDON. (Before Mr. Justice Wightins.n.), BOYLE ♦. CARDINAL WISEMAN. This important case, the question in which has been tried twice—once at Kingston, and again at Guildford— ' was specially appointed for trial to-day, and the greatest interest and excitement prevailed among the ladies, clergy, and gentry of the neighbourhood to be present. The learned judge did not take his seat on the bench till nearly eleven o'clock, at which hour the court was crowded to excess by well•dressed ladies, and almost all the clergy of the neighbourhood. On the learned judge taking his seat, disappointment was depicted on the countenance of all present on the next case being called on, an arrangement having been made between the counsel and solicitors, and plaintiff and defen -1 tin t, which rendered it unnecessary to bring the matter before the court. The arrangement entered into did not transpire, but it is generally understood to be satisfactory to all parties ; and that it is much to be regretted that an amicable course had not been adopted an earlier stage of the proceedings. (Before Mr. Justice Creswell.) His Lordship dd not take his seat in court till half past eleveu o'clock. He was occupied the whole day with Common Jury cases of no interest whatever except to the parties concerned. Bedford and Blet Buckghamsh Clydesdale Col. Stour Vy. Sud. and Hal. E. Lin. g. 6 pc Alas.

Amongst it were upwards of 200 oxen from Portugal. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning was moderately good, but at least two kinds of thorn were in very middling condition. All breeds moved off briskly, at an advance in the prices ob tained on Monday last of 2d. per Sibs., the primest lots being worth ss. 43. per 81bs. The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, amounted to 1,000 shorthorns ; from Norfolk, &o , 500 Scots and shorthorns; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 220 horned and polled Scots. For the time of year, we were scantily supplied with sheep in very poor condition. All breeds changed hands steadily, and last week's currency was well supported. The Downs realized ss. 2d. per 81bs. The supply of lambs was but moderate, and the trade was steady, at full quotations, viz., 4s. Bd. to 63. per Blbs. Calves were in good supply, and fair request, at extreme rates.

Jane Remington, was placed at the bar in accordance with remand charged with stealing a portemonie, a gold watch and chain, and some silver money, the property of Peter D'Espersack, a French gentleman. It appeared that the prisoner at the bar met the prose cutor in Great Marlborough-street last Monday as be was leaving the police-court. At her request he took her to a house, where they had some refreshment, and even tually he accompanied her to her lodgings. After re maining there some time he wa.s prepared to leave, and then he discovered that his portemonaie and gold watch and chain had been stolen by the prisoner. She had left the house, but he followed her into the street, and told a policeman that he had been robbed. The policeman, it appeared, happened to see the woman run from the house, which was in Great Wild-street, and enter another one immediately opposite, and the prosecutor following her, crying, " Watch, watch." He (the policeman) entered the house and found the prisuntr sitting ou the third-floor stairs, with the watch and chain iu her posses_ sion. The portemonnaie, in which were some papers of great value, could not be found on the day it was lost, and the case was remanded in order to afford the police time to recover it. The constable and prosecutor attended this morning but the purse had not been found. Tile depositions having been read over to the prose. cuter, through an interpreter, the prisoner was fully committed for trial. A young man applied at this plice-court this morn ing for a summons against a shoemaker in the neigh bourhood who had defaced a half-crown, his property. It appealed that the young man entered the shop to purchase a pair of shoes, and tendered in payment two half-crowns and a shilling, but the man who kept the shop said one of the half-crowns was bad, and proceeded to hammer it up. He had since taken the half-crown to a silversmith, who stated it was a genuine one. The magistrate refused the summons as the coin wa■ not defaced, it bei❑g only bent, and with a little care it could be straightened. FIRE AND Loss OF LlFE—(This day.)— This morning, at an early bout - , a fire occurred at a pawnbroker's, Dockhead, by which four persons have lost their jives. Olio of the firemen was also very badly injured. The bodies await a coroner's inquest.

In order that the public may be made fully acquainted with the now very numerou , i regulations issued by the Post-office authorities respecting the transmission of newspapers and periodical publications through the Post. office, our reporter has written to the Secretary of the Department, and received a complete reply. Subjoined are the questions asked, and a condensed epitome of the elaborate instructions now printed by us for the in. formation of the public : THE QUESTIONS. 1. Is it necessary, under the new regulations, in order to ensure the delivery of newspapers within three miles of the General Post-office, without being charged according to weight, that a Queen's head must be affixed to the cover in addition to the penny stamp 7 2. Is it the fact that unstamped papers will circulate within three miles of the Post-office, if a Queen's head be affixed to the cover, and that such papers, if sent to the Colonies, would be charged full "book letter-rates ?" 3. Is it the fact that, beyond the three miles—to the ex tremity of the United Kingdom, an unstamped paper, not exceeding 4 oz. in weight, if prepaid by a Queen's head— will pass without further charge, and that the same regu lation applies also to all papers distinguished by the " dis tinctive die ?" THE ANSWER. " 35,242. " General Post-office, Aug. 11, 1855. "Sir,—with reference to your letter of the Bth inst., I beg leave to transmit to you the enclosed copies of the instructions Nos. 40, 44 ; and 45, 1855, which fully bear out the view which you have taken of the points men tioned in your letter. I am, Sir, your obedient humble servant, (Signed) "J. TILLEY." The answer to the first question is as follows : " If the publication be addressed to any person within the free delivery of the place where it is posted, it will be liable to a postage of one penny, which must be prepaid, by affixing a postage stamp." "The free delivery of London, so far as applies to this rule, extends to such places only as are within three miles of the General Post-offlce." — (lnstructioia 44, regulation 9.) To those who are unacquainted with the peculiarities attendant upon official regulations, it doubtless appears anomalous that a postage charge should be called for within the range of what, in the above extract from the instructions, is denominated the "free delivery." It is a necessity, however, and experience has taught the officers that it must be met. It arose in this way. Many parties connected chiefly with the " weeklies," immediately after the reduction of the newspaper stamp some years since, took advantage of the postal privilege to the extent of circulating the major part of their papers to their customers in the metropolis by post instead of by hand. This was felt to retard the Post office duty, and materially to increase the cost of ma nagement, hence the order for the penny charge, to cover the amount of service performed. Even now this point is evaded by some of the low-priced weekly pa pers, which are published on Saturday afternoon. A boy is sent to Gravesend or Barnet with a sack of papers. He puts them into the Post-office there, and of course, as the distance is beyond the " three mile circle," they are delivered all over the metropolis gratuitously. The answer to the second question is, " that un stamped papers will circulate both within the three mile circle, and throughout the United Kingdom." The in struction (40, 1855) gives the scale : " Not exceeding 4 oz. in weight, ld. stamp; exceeding 4 oz. and not exceeding 8 oz., 2d.; exceeding 8 02. and not exceeding 16 oz., 4d. ; ditto, 11b. and not exceeding 6d. ; and so on (book post regulations, sec. 1). News papers (unstamped), it sent to the colonies, are subject to the above regulations as to postage."—(lnstructions 44, 18 -, 5.) The answer to the third question is in the affirma tive ; but it must be borne in mind that the newspaper must " be posted within fifieen, days from the date of publicatiou."—(44, 1855, sec. 5.) The Assistant-Secretary, Mr. Tilley, has also kindly furnished our reporter with a copy of the instructions with reference to " the transmission of stamped news- , papers to the British colonies and foreign countries." — (Amended Inst., 45, 1855, referring to 44, 1855.) 'We happen, however, to have gleaned from another source that, in the course of a few days, that order will be withdrawn, and that all newpapers sent in future to the colonies, &c., whether stamped or unstamped, will pass, without further charge than one penny Queen's heao, to these places. It will be made a compulsory re gulation that a postage label shall be affixed outside the paper or its cover, when folded. This order is to be in troduced as soon as the Treasury warrant is received by the Post-office authorities, and will have the effect of preventing the loss of time which now takes place in exa mining the " distinctive die" or " Somerset-house stamp," as it is called in official parlance, and will pre vent the annoyance to the public of which we were amongst the first to complain. It is essential to the public to know that newspapers and other periodicals published in the islands of Guern sey, Jersey, Alderney, Sark, and the Isle of Man (which formerly passed post-free without any stamp), are now subject to the same regulations as those which are pub lished in other parts of the United Kingdom. During the past week hundreds of these papers have been charged by tha officers of the Post-office full letter rates of postage, the Queen's bead not having been affixed in the first instance.—Morning Advertiser.

HUDDERSFIELD. —TIIIINDER-STORK.—This town and neighbourhood ware visited on Tuesday last by a fear. ful storm of rain, thunder, and lightning. The rain poured down in torrents, completely inundating the lower parts of the town, and doing considerable damage. In several cottage houses and cellar residences the water was three or four feet deep. The electric fluid struck a house in South-street, passing down the chimney, and in its progress breaking the climber mantel-piece and the ornaments placed upon it into fragments. The walls of the room also suffered a good deal of damage, but fortu nately the family, who were seated in the room below, sustained no injury beyond a little alarm.—Leeds ln telligencer. FATAL ACCIDENT TO ONE Or LORD CHESTERFIELD'S HORSES.— On Saturday evening, a yearling by the Fly ing Dutchman, purchased by Lord Chesterfield for 400 guineas, was taken to the railway station in company with a string of horses which had been running at Goodwood belonging to the same noble owner, it being the intention to convey them by the nine o'clock train to London. Seeing an engine pass with the steam all flying about, the colt became exceedingly terrified, broke away from the lad that was holding him, and galloped towards the Caversham-road at a fearful pace. The night being dark, the startled animal could not see the brick wail straight before it, facing the Great Western gates. The horse rushed on terrifically until its chest cane in contact with the wall, and so violent was the collision that a portion of the wall was knocked down, and the animal came down on its back in the ditch be low, several yards from the wall. After staggering a few yards, it dropped down and died in a few hours afterwards. —Berkshire Chronicle.

T.H - E ROYAL VISIT TO PARIS. I A Four hundred and twenty-five years have passed since a crowned English sovereign was seen in the city of Paris. And it was then no visit of friend. ship, but a barren grasp at empire. That a sovereign of England should visit the sovereign of France in his capital is now to occur for the first time in the annals of the two nations. Nor can we feel surprise that an event requiring for its fulfilment such rare coincident circumstances should have been delayed so long. Before the European system, no king could, with perfect safety, trust himself to the keeping of his brother, and English policy since has unhappily oftener leagued us with Austria against France than with France against Austria. The fault bas not been confined to either side, and the best that can now be said for the errors committed on both is that the people of the two countries have remained always friendly to each other. The enmity has been between the governing and not the governed races. Nor is it to be denieii that the angry tone given to French and English re. lations after our own revolution proceeded lea from the English than the French Government. The Bourbon race had a too natural affinity to the weak and vicious Stuart race. The final expulsion of the latter from the English throne was bitterly resented, and during the century that followed 1688 no George could have visited a Louis. A great change has now come over Europe. It is neither Austria nor France we have any longer cause to dread, but a new power more formidable in its character and designs than that which either Charles the Fifth or Louis the Fourteenth repre sented. Not so much, however, from the extent of her internal and intrinsic resources, as from the character of her barbarism and her unscrupulous ambition, is Russia b ecome f orm id a bl e t o c i v ilised Europe. Twenty years before the first French revo• lution these dangers from the nature of her Govern. meat were foretold, even by those who ridiculed the pretences she was already setting up to a restora tion of the Empire of Constantine. We all know the persevering encroachments she has since been able to make in spite of protests as untiring. There has hardly been a Government of any in fluence in Europe during the last fifty years which has not admitted, in countless despatches and protocols, the necessity of resisting the advance of Russia, of putting a limit to her extending frontier, and some check to her overweening am. bition ; nor was this duty ever more manifest than in 1815, when Europe exhausted with war, pre. ferred to surrender Poland rather than re-embark in it. Every year since that time, however, has shown more clearly the blunder then committed. Every year has added to the necessity for the re. pression which it was felt must sooner or later come. Selfishness, cowardice, dulness in the conti nental powers and dynasties have alone delayed it. But England and Fance have at last stepped forward, not simply to declare the necessity, but to act upon it, and another seal will be set to their resolve in next week's meeting of the rulers of the two nations amid the crowds and fes- . tivities of Paris. It will be another pledge for their unaided and unshrinking performance of the work which to none appealed so strongly, or should have seemed so necessary, as to the German sovereigns and princes. That even Prussia as well as Austria felt this, no one acquainted with the recent nego tiations can doubt ; but what they had sense enough to see they have not had the courage enough to do. If Germany had but seized the great opportunity offered, Russia would at once have been checked on the side of Poland as well as in her progress seaward. Such another opportunity may not pre sent itself for centuries ; and history will have to record hereafter, not that Germans wanted discern. ment to know the yoke under which they were pass ing, but that they utterly wanted unity and courage to throw it off. Meanwhile, it is possible, the field of warlike operation may be narrowed to France and England ; but their task will not have been per formed inefficiently, if it establish finally an im passable barrier to Russian conquest and acquisi tion in the Baltic and the Euxine. This they can certainly accomplish, and they would deserve the shame and discredit which has fallen on Austria An d Prussia if they were content with less. The approaching Royal visit will call forth many historical allusions and associations, but its highest value, we repeat, is in the additi ona l pledge it gives for identity of policy and feeling between the Go vernments and of esteem and good-will between the countries. We have said that no such visit nas been possible for the last century and a half, and for the existence of anything like the same causes of sympathy and agreement we should have to travel back nearly to double that distance of rime. We set up no individual comparisons ! when we say that the same kind of courtesy could not have been so freely interchanged hetween two sovereigns of the West since the days of Henri Quatre and Queen Elizabeth. I n the latter half of the sixteenth century, the House of Austria was the swallower up of small states, the bugbear of civilisation, the standing mnenace to civil and religious freedom, aiming at universal empire, and sparing neither craft, ty ranny, nor treasure to accomplish it. Against .uch designs , and the power promoting them, the sovereigns f England and France then found it their interest to unite, and it was not the fault of the English sovereign if the league was broken. No one will attempt to compare the third Napo leon to the fourth Henry of France—the chival rous and gallant prince who fought his way through a score of campaigns, and after many hard-contested battles, to his throne. Yet Henry, against many disadvantages, and from a heritage of -.mall means, floated upwards amid the civil dissen sions of his country ; and having gained power by siding with one party, it was siding with the other lie retained it. He was a prudent administrator, too ; and though no friend of liberty, he could not bring himself tamely to see the independence of Europe endangered. In the midst of his projects he was cut off by the hand of an assassin, and the policy of the great English Queen was abandoned by her impotent and pusillanimous successors. But the spirit of the great lives after them ; and out of those noble objects for which Henry and Elizabeth contended, the establishment of religi ous freedom and the balance of European empire, sprang powers and princes unheard of till then, and the house of Austria was effectually humbled by Prussia and by Sweden. There is but one moral taught by this, as by the whole curreni of human history. It is that nations, not less than individuals, should follow out un flinchingly the dictates of justice and honour, should prefer these to mere expediences or pruden ces of the hour, and should have courage not to shrink from whatever temporary sacrifices they entail. To rush into war one day because there seemed good chances of success, and to sneak out of it the next because the knocks proved harder than was looked for, and the victory more distant, has i been a , licy fraught with danger and disgrace fr om tin. . 'immemorial. Such was the policy of James the First and of Mazarin. Such was not the policy of Elizabeth, of Richelieu, of Cromwell, or of any great ruler of a great country. —Examiner. 61i 30 i . _ 24/ lla i 23a 4 94 3
