CRIMINAL COURT—(THIS DAY. „ The June sessions of the Central Criminal Court -°lll „,*sced to-day. J - "le RECORDER, in his usual address to the grand ury,e stated that there were 200 prisoners upon the „ en dar, many of whom were charged with offenct , s of ti c , er mus character, but from the nature of the deposi o - 1 it would appe sr that they would have no difficulty ‘4ealing with them. The only case which he more reillrtieularly alluded to was that of the person who stands , o ft rged with shooting at her Majesty, although there lno reason t o suppose h e h a d an y i n t en tion of shoot eg 's ° r injuring her Majesty, the act committed was an ~,eedioly mischievous and dangerous one, and ought t ,,,,''eet with an eivalent amount of punishment. Under welickennt statute which, he thought, could not be too the „ ° lvo, it was a misdemeanour, and was liable to Il eo r u . ?istiment prescribed for such an offence. The to Z"r then read a portion of the statute which applied th e d e ° "e, and expressed an opinion, from the nature of l e deePoaitions, that the jury would have no difficulty all oci SdiOg upon sending it for further inquiry.

There was a firm malket for Cotton at Liverpool on Saturd:iy, and prices of all kinds wet e firmly maintained. The sales were intimated at 6,000 bales. including 2,000 bales for export, and on speculation.—The mat ket, for Railway Shares was dull and heavy. The Corn MArhet is ( - lull to-day, at last Monday's prie , s, but the supOy of Wheat is short. Three are no late ship arrivals from any quarter to day, with news of general interest. The American steamer is exin.cted to-day at Liverpool. The ru ports are more favourable to-day from most of the Continental money market:. There was a good business doing at Amsterdam in the Dutch Two-and-a 1-10f rer Cents. yesterday, the closing price being 49. Austrian bonds were in more request; Mexican ad vanced, and French Stocks were decidedly lower. The Berlin Ahrket on the ith instant was in a very favour able state, and prices improved. Business was very animated. At Vienna, on the sth instant, the funds were firm, and from Paris we have higher quotations. Generally we fin.l a better feeling prevailing in City circle-, sail should the Roman atra , r be settled, there would, no doubt, be an improvement. As regards busi ness prospects, they necessarily hinge upon the state of politics and of the Money Market, and there is at home nothing di,c,oraging in either. In the Cotton menu. factoring districts there has been a fair business doing recently. From Birmingham we are advised, in Aria's Gazette, upon the state of the iron trade as folloes : " 'I he depression in every branch of this trade still coreinues, nor has the declared reduction of 20s. in price been followed by the slightest revival of demand. On the contrary, it seems to have had a prejudicial effe ct, and, combined with the astounding disclosures that sal , s of manufactured iron had been previously made from 20a to 30s. below the nominal rates, and that good mine pigs were in the market uuder 31. per ton, has done much to impair general confidence and to prostrate any expectation of an early revival of business. The workmen, as was ex pected, have quietly acceded to the proposed reductions in their wages, and, doubtless, would be quite satisfied could they be assured that the present rates would be permanent, with a sufficiency of employ ment. The latter, however, is becoming very precari ous. Several furnaces is the neighbourhood of Wolver hampton have already been put. out of blast, and the amount of work done in mills aild forges has been con siderably re due. d. Many others are preparing to re sort to the same alts mauve rather than lock up their capital in large accumulations ut stock, from which the probability of again realising a profit seems indefinitely remote. The cause of this unexpected stagnation is by some referred to the interruption of our commercial re lations with Austria, Germany, and other States on the Continent ; by others, to the unparalleled depreciation ot agricultural produce at home, and the destruction of our colonial interests. These, no doubt, are active agents, but it should nut ba forgotten that a great error has been fallen into by the iron-masters themselves. Attention has been repeatedly called to the anomalous exhibition of a continually-increased production, by the erection and putting to work new furnaces, by the im mense enlargeteetet of works, opening of new mines, and all other preparations for extending the make of iron, while the sources of consumption have been gradually, though, perhaps, not quite so rapidly, contractieg. The results ot this infatuation, aggravated by the circumstances above mentioned, are now being developed. In the meantime the dulness has been ete liven( d by accounts of important deputations to the Secretary of State, and to the Secretaries of Railway Committees, and also by a rather personal correspon dence containing sarcastic observations, and the expo sure of some recipes for ensuring sales, which might, without much disadvantage, have still been allowed to slumber in oblivion. This novel method ot puffing is generally looked upon as rather in/ -a dig., and by no means calculated to enhance the high position the iron trade has hitherto maintained in public opinion." The Funds are looking-up to-day, and the Bank broker has been a purchaser. As yet there is very little to justify a positive opinion as to whether the set rlerni nt will show a Bull or Bear account. Consuls have been 911 to 914 torTraneter, and 9 1 to 914 for Account. The pre-sent values are 91i to 91i. the New Three and a Quarter per Cents have been 9(11 to 91, and are now 91* to. 911. Batik Stock is about 193 to 195. Exehequt r biles have been 455. to 48s. premium. East India Bonds are 68s. to 71s. premium. ,The Foreign Securities are rather improving with the Engli-h Funds.

CORN-EXCHANGE-(MONDAY I ) Ver) limited supplies of all grain of borne produce reached our market last week coastwise, as we las by land carriage. From Ireland and Scotland about 5,000 quarters of Oats came to band. Frem abroad we re es ived 9.741 quarters of %Vilma, 4.733 oitto of Barley, 27,118 ditto of Oats, 1,245 ditto of Rye, 234 ditto of Beans, 10 ditto of Peas, 43 ditto of Tares. 11 ditto of Rapeseed, 54 ditto of Mustard Seed, 850 ditto of Indian Corn, 62 ditto of sundry Seeds, and 1 704 sacks of Flour. Letters from the Continent state that the supplies of Wheat and Flour offering in the various markets con tinue large. Rather extensive quantities have been purchased in France, Holland, and Belgium for shipment to England, at low prices. The weather has set in somewhat cold, yet our accounts respecting the appearance of the growing crops are veay favourable. The quantity of Wheat received fresh up to this morn ing's market from Essex and Kent was very moderate —that from Cambridgeshire, Suffolk, &c., small in the extreme. The show of samples of both red and white was trifling; hence, the demand ler al descriptions ruled tolerably steady, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Monday last, and at which is good clearance was effected prior to the close of business. The g' neral con dition of the Wheats was good. With foreign Wheats we were tolerably well, but not to say heavily supplied. Selected samples which were scarce sold at fully previous rates. In the middling and inferior kinds, very few sales took place, at late curt encies. One or two float ing cargoes were taken for the westward, at full prices. The arrivals, since Saturday evening, have been small. We had a much smaller show of Barley samples titan for many weeks past, owing to which there was a slight improvement in the demand. Grinding samples were inspired for (chi. fly for shipment coastwise), at extreme quotations. The value of malting and distilling sorts was well maintained. Notwithstanding that we had a very limited quantity of Malt on offer, the demand for that article was in a very sluggish state, and late rates must be considered almost nominal. Very few parcels were offering for forward delivery. Coastwise, the receipts of Oats have been trifling since our last; but the importation of upwards of 27,000 quarters from abroad produced a good show of samples. All kinds met a slow inquiry, at barely stationary prices. with Beans we were scantily supplied, and 3 et the sale for them was in a sluggish state, at unaltered quotations. The demand for Peas was wholly in retail, at late figures. Indian Corn sold at very lull prices. Parcels were taken for shipment to Ireland, at from 32s to 36s 6d per quarter. Flour, both English and foreign, met a slow inquiry, at our Quotations.

During last week the total arrivals did not exceeol 2,405 head, against 3788 head at the corre.ponding week in 1848, and 3 554 11, ad at the same time in 1817. We have, thtrena - e received 1.381 h, ad less than in the farmer, and 1,149 head less than in the last-named period. The late importation of preserved M. at from Buenos Ayres has been submitted to public competition since our last, and been withdrawn at sd. per lb. The arrivals of foreign stock at the various eutports have been small. From Ireland, 127 13, asts, and 152 Sheep have come to hand, by sea, fur our market. Fresh up, this morning, the receipts of home fed beasts were seasonably exten sive, and of full average quality. The attendance of buyers was small; yet. as the weather was favourable for slaughtering, the beef trade was steady, at prices fully equal to those obtained on Monday last. The general , top quotations for Beef was 3s. Bd. per 181bs. In extreme cases rather more money vv.:s paid. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,600 Scots, short-horns, and home-breds ; from the western and midland districts, 700 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; from other parts of England, 500 of ♦arious breeds ; and from Scotland 250 horned and polled Scots. The remainder of the bullock supply was derived from abroad, sod t ,, e neighbourhood of London. With all breeds of Sheep we were fairly supplied. Gene rally speaking, the Mutton trade was in a very sluggish state, at barely last week's quotations, and at which a total clearance was not effectt-d. The number of Lambs was large, while the demand for that description of stuck was heavy, at a decline in value of quite 2d per 8113 s. Calves—the supply of which was good—sold slowly, at the late decline in value. The sale for Pigs was heavy, at barely late rates.

Since Monday last only one or two vessels have arrived at the water side laden with Potatoes from our own coasts, and shipments appear to have nearly ceased from the Continent. Ey land carriage only about 200 tons have come to hand. The total importations from abroad has been cotifiaed to 601 baskets and 501 tons, wholly from Rotterdam, and in very middling condition. The few prime Yock Regents on offer have sold at from 100 s to 2003 per ton. Foreign qualities are producing from 50s to 90s. BOROUGH HOP MARKET. At length buyers have come forward, and a steady business has been transacted in most kinds of good Hops, at improved quotations. Old Hops are almost nominal.

The first match:of the season between these counties was played last week, when, for the first time in these contests, Leicestershire carried off the laurels. The men of Derby, it would appear, were unable to bear up against the straight under-hand bowling of Mr. Beim. Nor arc th• - •se the only gentlemen in toe cricket world who in OD- , present day find it a work of extreme diffi culty to combat a tine underhand bail. The mass of chance hitting, which has existed of late years, and in which so large a number, as in the case of wild and reckless bowling, of the participators in the game in dulge, lender a fast under-hand bowler, if good, a man to be feared by his opponents.

She was about twenty-f ur years of age. A coro: er's inquest will be held this evening, at the Savoy Palace, Savoy-street, Strand. CRUELTY OF TUE AusTRIANs.—For the honour of humanity we had hoped to be spared the recital of such atrocities as the Vienna Presse (Ist June) itself records. The indignation which even this muzzled organ of despotism cannot absolutely stifle, will be widely spread through every country where a spark of manly feeling survives. We give the paragraph without further comment .—" Vienna.—According to our ad vices from Pressburg. a married lady, convicted of cor respondence with the insurgents, has, been sentenced by a court. martial to the punishment of flogging, and the sentence has been executed. Our correspondent states that even those of whose good disposition towards the Government there can be no doubt, are indignant at so barbarous an infliction. We lament, mostly deeply, that such a punishment could be awarded. We can hardly. believe that the penal laws, under which military com missions exercise their functions, leave no discretion to the judges, to substitute some other penalty for one so deeply wounding to the ideas and feelings of modern civilization. We really must not give the Magyars and other enemies of Austria such proofs that savage laws can still be put in execution among u s. " BLACKHEATH GOLF CLun.----:The gold medal an nually presented for competition by the noblemen anti gentlemen of this celebrated club, which has now been in existence for more than a century and a half, was con tested for on Saturday, on Blackheath. Some very fine play was exhibited, and at the conclusion of the game it was declared that the Rev. W. Marsh had carried oft the prize in 143 strokes. On the reassembling of the members at the club-house, it was stated that a golf club had been formed at Bombay, and that the members had done this club the honour of forwarding a medal for competition, and that the contest for the same had been appointed to Ow place on the second Saturday in Oc tober. In the evening the member, dined together at the Trafalgar Hotel, Greenwich, when the gold medal was presented to the winner with all the custo mary honours. EARLY CLOSING ASSOCIATION.—At an interesting meeting of the Church of England's Young Men's So ciety for Aiding Missions at Home and Abroad, held at their Sloane. street Branch Institution, on Friday even ing last, the Rev. W. Cadman, minister of Park Chapel, Chel,ea, in eulogising the s , ciety, and other similar re ligious bodies, observed that a little time back there were he such societies. The cause of this was subsequently explained by the Ti ctor of the parish, the Rev. Richard Burgess, who showed that the reason why they did not previously exist was mainly because of the then all absorbing nature of business. Now, he added, that success to a certain extent has marked the efforts of the Early Closing Association, we &id societies of this kind swinging up. Similar testimony to the extensive bene fits which the Early Closing Association is calculated to confer, and has already actually conferred on the com munity, was borno by the Reverends W. W. Robinson and W. Niven. THE DAVIS' STRAITS FISHERY.—The well-known whale ship Abram, is now fitting out at this port as quickly as possible for a voyage to Davis' Straits. We understand that Lady Franklin has purchased a con siderable share in her, and although she is to be fully (-quipped as as a whaler, instructions have been given, it circumstances are favourable, to search Smith's Sound and Jones's Sound in quest of Sir John Franklin. She is to be commanded by Captain Granville, late of the William Ward, of this port.—Hull Packet.

CARBONIC ACID GAS ENGINE/L-111 lately recom mending Baron Von Rathen to try the condensation of carbonic acid gas in his locomotive air-bottles, generating it from such carbonates of lime as marble or chalk, we scarcely expected to hear so shortly of a definite inven• Lion for the very purpose. Such is the case, however; and it is proposed, in order to cheapen the process and render it all the more likely to be economically practi cable, that the condensed or liquified carbonic gas, after the expenditure of its power in expulsion from the air bottles or reservoirs should be re-absorbed by quick lime, so as to be as ready for re. agency, with the help of sulphuric acid and the air-bottles, as ever; leaving sul phate of lime as a marketable residium. It is calculated that, as a mere auxiliary , a steam-engine of 50-horse power, by aid of such a carbonic acid engine, would be equivalent to one of 95-horse power; and that, from the saving of fuel, both marine and locomotive engines could be worked with it to great advantage.—Builder.

IMPORTATION Ole ZINC. —An importation has re cently taken pla:..e of a parcel of rods of zinc, rolled pre paratory to being made up or converted into bolt., ; and although the zinc in the form alluded to might be consi dered in a ci ude or rolled state, the officers of the reve nue considered it to be chargeable with duty as being in a partly manufactured state, and therefore the importers urged a request to the authorities fer their decision. L was considered doubtful whether duty could legally be charged on the'artiele under notic 2, which was stated to have undergone no other p roc e ss o f manufacture than of rolling, and therefore directions have been given for th e admission of zinc, w hen nejorted in the state ment i one d, free of duty. CONIMUNICATION BETWEEN HULL AND HAMBURGII. —Since our last, the two steamers the Helen Maegtegor and the Transit, both carrying British royal mail bags, have returned from the Elbe, having been unable to obtain admittance in cons, quence of the strict blockade main tained by the Danes.—Hull Fade:. EVENING, JUNE 11, 180 TO THE SECRETARY OF THE :METROPOLITAN REFORM ASSOCIATION. Sir,—On Wednesday the Gth, the Bankrupt and Insolvent Members Bill, notwithstanding a consider able display of opposition, was read a second time by a majority of 55 against 45. There seems a proba bility that in a larger House the opposition may yet preponderate, and lead to the surrender, under com petent precautions, of the privilege against legal pro ceedings for debt now possessed by the Members, in stead of the present courting of unjust and crooked interference, with nothing gained but the gratification to individuals of declaring their opinion that they are better and more prudent than their neighbours. Surely if the House were to frame a method by which any of its Members might be given up to the operation of the ordinary law of debt upon due notice given, it would be more for its independence and credit than a pharisaic enactment capable of acting as an inducement to the fabrication or disco very of debt with a view to the destruction of a poli tical opponent. There is hardly a Member in the House against whom some claim for the debts of an Association,—as, for example, in the well-known in statin3 of the Reform Club's claret,—might not be di rected as the means of either alarming him into pay ment, or shaking him in his seat. There is not a sharp practitioner in London who does not know, that if the proposed law passes, the Member of Parlia ment will always be the best bird in the covey to aim at. The Affirmation Bill, which is for extending the permission of affirmation in lieu of oaths, was on the same evening read the third time by 73 against 51. This process is generally held sufficient for allowing a Bill to pass. But on the present occa sion the opponents of the Bill rose to speak on the motion that the Bill do pass, while their friends to the number of 22 (being the exact previous minority) were brought up from the places whe-re they were to be found ; and it was only by the other side bringing up four new votes, that the Bill wes passed. This may be slow process ; but nothing ever goes backward. On Thursday there was not a House; being Ascot day. On Friday, in one form or other, the House was occupied with debates on Irish distress. The case seems simply parallel to one where a ship's provisions should have been found to have sunk unexpectedly through the bottom. There is absolutely no remedy, but that those whose provisions are thus gone down, . sh ould be fed out of the stocks of those who have any left. There is no use in complex speculation ; the fact is short and terrible, that the support of the people has vanished, and they must consequently die unless something can be done towards supplying the deficiency. If the food in the country was a fixed quantity, as it is in a fleet at sea, there would be no remedy but putting everybody, the lady passengers included, upon short allowance of bread. But in a commercial country there is the resource of buying less claret and more Indian corn, importing fewer opera singers and more macaroni. A good governor of a fortress, or an admiral who had been at sea on two-thirds allowance, would perhaps have a livelier idea of the position of the case, than the majority of the House of Commons. In the course of the evening the former scene was repeated, on the subject of the exclusion of strangers. he reporters for the press were excluded, came back, and were excluded again, and strangers of all kinds continued excluded, or at all events none were present, during the remainder of the sitting ; all to the great discontent of Members who had various operations in hand, the knowledge of which they counted on coming to their constituents. It is pro bable this new experiment will lead to the House taking some order for remedy. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, June 11, 1849. PRINCE LOUIS NAPOLEON. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—In The Sun of the Ist June, 1841, you have inserted the ex closed, wherein Louis Napoleon tells Madame De Faverolles he was allied with Russia, Austria, Sweden, Bavaria, Wirtemberg, Baden, and Portugal. Would not this alliance justify the fears of the French Republicans, that he aims at a coup d'etat? And is not the recognition of the Republic by Nicholas a dust thrown in the eyes of the nation preparatory to his recognising the empire ? The re-printing of that article would be interesting to the French Republican people. May 28, 1849. A LIBERAL. (From The Sun of June 1, 1841.) The Commerce of Saturday contains the following letter from Louis Napoleon, complaining of the undue severity exercised towards him during his imprisonment at Ham. The Commerce introduces the letter in the following manner:— " We, have received the following communications. Our respect for misfortune, and our constant desire to concur in alleviating all uncalled-for rigour, make it our duty to give them the publicity of our journal. We trust that the Government will appreciate the claims thus made on its consideration and on its generosity• We desire it for the sake of the prisoner who suffers, and for those who think themselves compelled to guard him:-, TO TUE EDITOR OF THE COMMERCE. " Sir,—l have the honour to enclose you the copy of a letter I have received from Prince Louis Napoleon, and of a protest addressed by him to the Council of Minis ters. I trust to your impartiality for the insertion of these two documents in the earliest number of your journal.—Receive, Sir, the assurance of my perfec• consideration. d) " May 28, 1841. " " ' COPY OF A LETTER ADDRESSED DT PRINCE NAPOLEON LOUIS BONAPARTE TO MADAME SALVAGE DE PAVE BOLLES. " ' SALVAGE DE FAVEROLLES. " Ham, May 24, 1841. " Madame,—l send you a copy of the protest which have addressed to the President of the Council, which I beg you to have inserted is the journals, and to send a copy on my behalf to the Ambassadors of all the Powers with whom I am allied—via., to the Ministers of Russia, Austria, Sweden, Bavaria, Wirtemberg, Baden, and Portugal.—Receive the renewed assurance of my friendship. (Signed) " NAPOLEON Louis B." " ' PROTEST. " Citadel of Ham, May 22, Itt4l. " ' For the nine months that I have been in the hands of the French Government I have borne every outrage patiently, but I can no longer refrain from speaking, nor authorise oppression by my silence. " My position ought to be considered in two dif ferent points of view—on its moral and on its legal side. " Policy has rights which Ido not dispute. it would be just for the Government to act towards me as towards an enemy, and to remove from . me the means of injuring it; but, on the other hand , it is inconsistent to treat me, the son of a King, the nephew of an Emperor, allied to all the Suvk reigns of Europe, as a common prisoner. " In invoking foreign alliances, I am not ignorant that the plea has never been of use to the conquered, and tbat misfortune breaks all ties; but the French Go vernment ought to recognise the principle which has made me what I am, for this principle is the cause of its existence. The sovereignty of the people made my uncle Emperor, my father King—and 1 am a French Prince by bi:th. I have, therefore, a right to the respect and regard of all those with whom the vote of a great people royalty, glory, and misfortune are of any weight. " If, for the first time in my life, I boast of the chanee which presided at my birth, it is that pride be longs to my position, and that I have paid for tLe first savours of fortune by twenty-seven years of trouble and suffering. " As to my legal position, the Court of Peers has created for me an exceptional punishment. " • In condemning me to perpetual imprisonment, it has only legalised the decree of fate, which made me prisoner of war; it has endeavoured to ally humanity to policy by inflicting the mildest punishment for the long est possible time. " Accustomed from my earliest infancy to a life of hardship, I do not complain of the inconvenient simpli city of my dwelling; but I complain of being subject to vexatious measures which are nut necessary to my safe keeping. During the first months of my captivity, all kind of communication with the outside was denied me, and in the inside I was kept perfectly aloof ; but since several persons have been admitted to communicate freely with me, the internal restrictions have no longer Icy object. " ' It is, however, since the time that these restrictions became useless that they have been more rigorous. The attendance of a faithful servant—who was permitted to tollow me into captivity—meets with every annoying ob stacle. "'So much terror has been instilled into the minds of ci i t the garrison and the employes of the citadel, that they scarcely dare to look towards me, and t is with great danger to their interests that they Lnb one who evinces any wish to sof ten thee polite. Every captivity, even without deviating rigours of my threatened to be denounced from their duty, are to the authorities and dis charged from their posts. " the midst of that France, which the chief of my family has re n d ere d so gre a t, am like an ex communicated being of the thirteenth century; every one flies :It my approach as if my very breath were contagious. " But this insulting inquisition, w hich pursues me into my chamber, which attaches itself to my steps when I go to breath the air of Heaven in a retired corner of t he fort, i not confined to my person; it extends even to my thoughts. My family letters, the outpourings of my heart, are submitted to the must rigid censure, and if a letternd ex is author s too much sympathy, it is sequestrated, a i denounced to the Government. It app , era as if it were wished to remind me every instant that I am a captive, and to cry incessantly in my eats, Vce victis. "` It is not unimportant here to mention that none of the measures I have pointed .out were adopted against the Ministers of Ch a rles X. ( w hose chambers I now oc cupy), and yet those INlmisters were not born on the steps of a 'Throne; they had not e n cohdemned to simple imprisonment, but to a punishment more severe— banishment. Ia fine, they were not the representative, of a cause which is the object of the veneration of France. ...The treatment to which I am s.ul , li-cted is neiilier just, legal, nor humane. If those that order it think by that means to vanquish me, they are deceived ; it is not outrage, but kindness which softens the heart of those who buffer. (Signed) " lova liAr QUO 15."_,' HOME COLONIZATION AND EMI GRATION. TO THE EDl7oli OF THE SUN. SIR,-A s a poor Scotchman, located amid 360,000 souls in Glasgow, the greater proportion of whom exist by dint of manual labour, ekeing out a scanty subsistence by frugal economy on 301. or 401. per year, permit me a corner for sheer charity to explain that emigration amongst such is all the rage just now ; and, truly, - skill in labour is the status of success in distant regions, without which capital is valueless. But although this truism is acknowledged, it is not so used to the advantage of labour in infant settle ments as it may become by a judicious economy. As a labouring man myself, whose education, obtained from parish schools may be deemed scanty at Oxford or Cambridge, but ample by assiduity and diligence in Mechanics' Institutes, &c. &c., and private study, to subserve an honest turn, has served to make me think for myself, and not lean my judgment on the wisdom of senators or sycophants, nor priests or bishops. I think that in Scotland, with 3,000,000 acres of land laying waste, there is no urgent necessity for such tens of thousands of the worth and stamina of our classes of workmen hurry ing from their nativity as if from a plague spot. I say it i s crue l i n th em t o d o so —cruel to their country, themselves, and families. Ample land invite their cultivation at home. Ah ! it is said, entail and primogeniture forbid its reclamation. My Earl and my Lord This, and my Major That, and my Honour able Sir yonder, ha s n ae weans , an d o f course nae interest in seeking redress or riddance of an obnoxious entail law, which as respect s E ng l an d d oes not ex i s t . This is the nuisance that smells rank in our nostrils, and, until redressed, will, after all, send tens of thousands to the wildernesses of Australasia and other regions, who, in event of remedial home efforts being made, would, in preference, reclaim the wastes of home and impart comfort to themselves and increased wealth to our too big aristocracy. An effort of this sort must be made ere long—an effort to rouse our indolent landocracy to benevolent exertion in the reclaiming of home, not foreign waste lands. I have no sinister view. I wish the welfare of my countrymen. I know they will find a home and a country anywhere, and so may I, at the very antipodes ; but if at home, our own country, the "land of the mountain and the flood," why not? It is embalmed in affection's deepest memories, and to me the very prospect of tearing these asunder is not only cruel, but, as stated, uncalled for. At the very least it must be admitted by the most fastidious, that, contemporaneous with an emigration movement, a Home Colonization Waste Land A gency ought to be conjoined; and betwixt the two, a coun terpoise or medium weight will balance the move ment and duly indicate the pulsation. I ask, will it not? I would willingly enlarge, but I forbear. Snatching a few hours from rest after a day's toil (twelve o'clock evening).

A friend over my shoulder, overlooking, whispers to me, " Don't be sanguine of our aristocracy.

SIR, —There is a remark somewhat uncalled for in your account of the Hebburn pit explosion, which in duces me to say that I believe (and you may take my opinion for what you think it is worth), if high. pressure swam ventilation had been used in that mine, the lives of the thirty-three persons killed would have been saved.

DaSECRATION OF THE DEAD.—HORSHAM, SUSSEX, SATURDAY.—The . town of Horsham and the villages surrounding it have been during the last few days in an extraordinary state of excitement, arising out of the per petration of the following outrages:—On the night of Wednesday last the parish church of Laughton, which is a retired village, a few miles from Horsham, was forcibly entered by the means of the belfry door, and a second door leading into the vestry having been forced, a strong oaken chest, supposed to have contained the communion plate, was broken open, and an ancient pewter flagon, which had not been used for centuries, was taken away, as also a communion cloth. The thieves, not satisfied with the sacrilege they had already committed, proceeded to break open the family vault of the Earls of Chichester, which is under the chancel of the church, by removing a slab of marble which covered it. The miscreants moved one of the coffins from the side to the middle of the vault, and with considerable violence wrenched off the inscription plate, but, discovering that it was not silver, as was expecte d, it was left behind. Every exertion is being made by the rural police to discover the perpe trators of this enormity, but their efforts are as yet un suec. ssful. THE DEPARTURE OF THE AMERICA.—LIVERPOOL, SATURDAY.—This splendid steam ship, which made her last homeward voyage from New York, including the (Hour at Halifax, in about Ili days, sailed for Boston via llalifax to-day about noon. She had sixty-seven passengers on board, and carries out the weekly mails tor Canada and the United States, in charge of Lieute- mint Butler, R.N. The day was exceedingly fine, and many persons congregated on the piers to view the noble ship us she steamed down the river, under the command of LIA r faithful and energetic commander, W. Harrison. The Canada, Captain Judkins, which sailed from New York en the 30th ult., is expected on Monday morning. ACCOUCHEMENT IN AN OMNIBUS.-011 Saturday afternoon the following singular occurrence took place in a Chelsea omnibus:—lt appears that a female named Wineford Keby, wife of a mechanic living in the Queen's road, Chelsea, was proceeding to the Borough in an omnibus. When the vehicle arrived opposite the Opera House, Haymarket, she was seized with sudden illness, and the nature of her complaint soon became apparent to all, for in a few moments she gave birth to a fine male infant. All the male passengers immediately alighted, except a surgeon, who happened to be i❑ the omnibus, who, with the assistance of a lady and her servant, at tended to the mother and child until they arrived at the Charing-cross Hospital, where Dr. Golding and Mr. Steggall, the resident medical officers, were in attend ance. The mother and child remain at the hospital, and are doing well. THE DREADFUL CHILD MURDER AT BERMONDSEY. —On Saturday an inquiry was opened at the Britannia public house, Nelson-street, Snows fields, relative to the death of Mary Anne Ogden, aged five weeks, who was drowned by its mother in a copper, at No. 14, Guy street, Snows-fields. It appeared from the evidence of John Henry Ogden, the lather, who is a porter at Guy's Hospital, that on Wednesday afternoon he returned home, and upon knocking at the door it was opened by his wife, who had the deceased in her arms. It was dressed in a night-gown and looked very pale. Witness was alarmed, and asked what was the matter with it, when she said it was dead. Witness replied, "It must be in a fit;" but he immediately afterwards discovered that the child was dead, and on asking his wife how it happened, she unhesitatingly said, " I have killed it." Several persons then came in, through witness raising an alarm, and took the deceased from its mother's arms. Witness had every reason to believe that the mother had put the child in the copper, as there was no other person in the house at the time. She afterwards told him, in reply to another question, that she committed the act about eleven o'clock that morning. After some other corroborative evidence, the jury unanimously agreed to a verdict of Willa' Murder. The witnesses were then bound over in the usual way to prosecute. THE MISSING ARCTIC EXPEDITION.—OUr readers will be interested to know that one more attempt will be made this year, amongst ourselves, in addition to those organized by Government, to obtain some intelli gence of the missing Arctic expedition. The whaler Abram is now being strengthened and equipped at Hull, with the view of searching Jones's Sound and its vicinity. Lady Franklin offers a special reward for this service. The Abram will sail in a few days, with a very effective crew. It is affecting to observe the restless energy with which Lady Franklin devotes herself t o th e t as k o f soli citing aid in all directions for the effectual search of those sees to which her busy hopes and fears are unceasingly directed. The night-errantry of the world is summoned by her on this path of adventure.

Taking 10 years off for infancy—which is too much."—Yes! far "too much." Mamma's darling Jacky, as Papa knows to his cost, is cars ivorous long before the ciaupletion of his tenth year—but "taking 10 years off for infancy," although "it is too much," and allowing a man "4 pounds of flesh meat per week" (too little for au alderman, but more than a burgess can get hold of), the consumption at the cluse of three score years and tin, amounts, ae . ct rtdo 156 sheep ing to "eourofBolb. own"Cieicakcer: o tor 20 bullocks of 44t 12,4801b,0r8 99 is s t : ; or ; or, to take it still another w2y, to 78 sheep and 10 bul locks, " with 6st. over , " which may stand for p ou ltry, fish, &c., " say 20 of eac h in the year, or 1,200 poultry, 1,200 fish."
