Their Lordships met at Five o'clock. Messengers from the Commons brought up curtain Bills. MUNICIPAL CORPORATIONS (IRELAND) BILL. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved the second reading of this Bill. Lord STANLEY trusted the standing orders would be strictly adhered to in regard to all Bills, and this among them. lie believed the Bill was generally ap. proved of, and this was the only reason that induced him not to move that this Bill should be read a second time this day six months. Lord MONTEA.CiLE hoped that no obstruction would be thrown in the way of passing the Bill. The Bill had received the great3st consideration in the House of Commons. Lord STANLEY had great respect for the House of Commons, but he thought their Lordships ought to have time for the consideration of these Bills. The Bill was then read a second time. COLLECTION OF RATES (IRELAND) BILL. This Bill was read a second time. DUBLIN (IMPROVEMENT) BILL. This Bill was read a second time. MINES. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE laid on the table the report of the Commissioners of mines. Lord WIIARNCLIFFE presented a petition from certain miners, praying for the adoption of means for the prevention of explosions in mines. IRISH INCUMBERED ESTATES BILL. Lord CAMPBELL moved the consideration of the Commons' reasons for amending two of their Lordships' amendments on the Irish Incumbered Estates Bill, and for insisting on one of the original clauses. He moved that the amendment of tho Commons, authorising the sale of estates when the incumbrances shall not exceed one-half of the net income instead of one of the Bros income, as it was enacted in the Bill as it went down from their Lordships, should be agreed to. Lord STANLEY, although he did not consider the Commons' amendment an improvement, would not resist its adoption. After a few words from Lord BROUGUAM and the Marquis of LANSDOWNE, Lord CAMPBELL, in answer to Lord Brougham, , said that the appointment of the Commissioners had not yet been deternaim d on. then s The m otiwi was reed to. g Lori CAMPBELL then moved that their Lordships do not insist upon the clause for awarding compensation to Mr. Fitzgibbon, one of the officers of the Court of Chancery in Ireland. The Lord Chancellor of Ireland had given it as his opinion that this officer would not be entitled to poundage on the sale of their estates, and therefore there was no excuse for awarding compensa tion.—The motion was agreed to. HUNGARY. Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition adopted at a public meeting in London, on Monday last, which was signed by Mr. David Salomons, the chairman of the THE HAGUE, JULY 23 .—TheSecond Chamber of the States General yesterday discussed the project of law for expelling foreigners frow the country. This law, which is called for by the present political state of affair, gave rise to a lengthened dis cussion, and, after several amendments, was passed by 48 votes against 15. The project was so far modified that it is not to be applicable to foreigners who have obtained the right of settle ment, who are naturalized, who have married a Netherlands wife, or who have a child or children born in the Netherlands. The new electoral law meets with far more oppo sition, and numerous petitions against it are presented from every quarter. The Staats Courant says :—" According to an official advice, dated May 18, sent from Rio de Ja neiro to the Netherlands Government, the decree of the Ist October, 1847, establishing differential duties, is withdrawn by an imperial decree of the Emperor of Brazil, dated May 4. The new decree has not been brought to the knowledge of the foreign Lega tions in the ordinary manner, but was first published in the official journal of Rio Janeiro on the 17th of Blaj, 1849. THE CHOLBEA.--AMSTERDAM, JULY 23.—Re maining under treatment on the morning of the 22d, 72 cases ; new cases, 8 ; recovered, 4 ; deaths, 5 ; remaining under treatment, 71. LEYDEN, JULY 21.—From the 19th to the 21st eighty-eight fresh cholera cases occurred, forty-one of which proved fatal. Total number of cases, 931 ; deaths, 497 ; recovered, 145 ; under treatment, 289. UTRECHT, JULY 22.—From the 16th to this day no less than 248 cases have occurred; of these only fifteen recovered, whereas 110 proved fatal—remain in under treatment 163. KAMPEN, JULY 21 Here the cholera appeared for the first time yesterday, when 33 persons were at tacked by it ; of these only 2 recovered, 22 died, and 9 remained ander treatment. A very dangerous epizootz has prevailed for some time among the horses of the different regiments of cavalry. It has been so general that there has not been an adequate supply of horses for the service, and the commanders of the various corps have been obliged to make the men go through their exercises on foot.— Dutch Papers, July 24. AMSTERDAM, JULY 23.—THE BOURSB.—The In land Funds had a very favourable upward tendency to-day ; Spanish and Portuguese without fluctuation ; Russian and Austrian particularly steady ; French stationary ; Peruvian rather flat.—Amsterdam Courant, July 24. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JULY 26, 1849 meeting. He would only read the prayer of the peti tion, without comment, merely observing that he believed that the mention of the independent kingdom of Poland— Lord BROUGHAM—PoIand! Lord BEAUMONT—I meant Hungary. The Noble Lord then read the prayer of the petition, which was, that the Government would at once acknowledge the de facto Government of Hungary. Lord BROUGHAM did not wonder that the Noble Lord said Poland when he meant Hungary ; but he must say that the balance of power was in great danger if an agitation could, as he said, crush Russia, crumpling it like a piece of paper in his hand, by agitatin r , the city of London. He said that he could by agitation prevent Russia getting a loan in the city of London. Why, he (Lord Brougham) believed that there was no power on the earth or under the earth which could get a loan in the city of London if 6 per cent. were offered by that House against the 64 per cent offered by anybody else.—(A laugh.) (LEFT BITTING-1) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair shortly after One o'clock, CONSIDERATION OF LORDS' AMENDMENTS. The Lords' amendments to the Kingston-upon -Hull Dock Company Bill, were considered and agreed to. THIRD READINGS. The following Bills were read ^ a third time and passed Aberdeen Destitute Female Orphan Asylum (David son's) Estate. Duke of Norfolk's (Duke of Sutherland's) Estate. Gordon's (Cairness) Estate. Honourable R. H. Clive's Estate. Hurd's Estate. Ladykirk (Robertson's) Estate. Lee's Estate. Lord Brougham and Vaux (late Duke of Cleveland's) Estate. Ogle's Estate. Reynolds' Estate. Rickards' (or Harman's) Estate. SECOND READING. The Tufton's Naturalization Bill was road a second time, and ordered to be committed. PETITIONS. Sir H. W. BARRON presented a petition, praying for the abolition of ministers' money in Ireland. Mr HUMS presented a petition, prayin g the House to extend the jurisdiction of county courts. Mr. NEWDEGATE presented a petition against the extension of beer-shop s . Lord ASHLEY presented a petition to the same effect. EDUCATION. Mr. HENLEY wished to put a question to the Right the head of the Home Department, of Hon. Baronet at w hich he had given him notice, and relating to certain minutes of Council on Education. He wished to ask the Right Hon. Baronet whether any and what steps had been taken for the establishment of a school under the minutes of Council, dated 31st Dec., 1846. Sir G. GREY said the minutes relative to the establishment of workhouse shools, which would give every information on the subject, had been already moved for, and would be laid before the Hon. Members at the earliest opportunity. In the meantime, however, he might mention that a school for training workhouse masters had been established at Norwood, and although it had not been placed under the super intendence of any church establishment, the fact that whilst the head master was a clergyman of the Church of England, and a fellow of one of the universities, the second master, although a layman, was also a fellow of a college, was a sufficient guarantee that religious instruction would not be lost sight of.—(Hear, hear.) ORANGE PROCESSIONS. The RIGHT HON. BARONET being upon his legs, said the House would perhaps allow him to answer a question put to him yesterday by the Honourable Member for Manchester. It would no doubt be recollected that yesterday, in answer to a question from the Hon. Member, relative to a speech having been delivered by a county magistrate, at a public dinner, on the subject of the fatal affray at. Cas tlewellan, he stated that he had not heard of the occur rence; in the course of the afternoon's post, however, be received a dispatch from the Lord -Lieutenant, stating that he had seen a report of the speech in the newspapers, and he had felt it his duty immediately to call for fur ther information, and it was his intention to take such measures as the circumstances of the case might demand. POOR RELIEF (IRELAND) BILL. Sir H. W. BARRON wished to know whether it was the intention of Government to proceed this evenin; with the Lords' amendments to the Poor Relief (Ireland Bill? Lord JOHN RUSSELL hoped to be able to go on with hem this afternoon. CONSOLIDATED FUND APPROPRIATION BILL. On the question for the third reading of this Bill, Mr. HU.3IE called the attention of the House to cir cumstances connected with the public expenditure on harbours of refuge. Some years ago a discussion took place on the same subject, and it was then understood that all Bills affecting the navigation of rivers ;should be examined and approved of by the Board of Admiralty before they were introduced into that House. Subse quently a Commission was appointed to inquire into the state of harbours of refuge, when it was found that the Board of Admiralty had been so overwhelmed with busi ness, that it could not attend to this branch of its duty, and the consequence had been that several Bills had been passed which had proved highly injurious to some of our harbours. The Commission recommended that a separate department should be appointed to have the cognizance of all works connected with tidal harbours, but that recommendation had not been carried into effect. Now, what he wished to know was, who had thel super intendence of these works, and what had been done to protect the public interest in the expenditure of money upon them? For the erection of harbours of refuge there had been voted in 1845,120,0001, in 1846, 30,000/., in 1847,140,00041 a 1848,131,0004 and in 1849, 1 141,5001., making the total sum expended in five years 562,500/. He wished also to know if there were any reports or any other documents which could be laid on the table of the House as to what progress had been made since those sums had been voted ? Admiral BOWLES said he had been on the Tidal Commission, who made a report in 1846 which conveyed a great deal of information on the subject of harbours of refuge, and that body also made a recommendation that all the tidal harbours in the kingdom should be ,placed in the hands of a board of conservancy under an .Act of Parliament. Me thought it desirable that one of :the Lords of the Admiralty should be a member of that board of conservancy with a view to prevent the undue 'operation of local interests. Sir F. BARING said he had made no alteration in 'the powers or business of the harbour department. That department was of great public use and importance, and operated as a very considerable check upon the ob structions thrown in the way of harbour improvement by local interests. He had made no alteration in the harbour 'department, with one exception, namely, that he had 'thought the business could be efficiently managed by 'two instead of three officers, as formerly, and he had, !therefore, reduced the number of superintendents to two. Mr. WILSON PATTEN said the Honourable Mem ler (Sir F. Baring) was the last person whom he <Mr. Wilson Patten) would think of charging with a job .—(Hear, hear)—but he must call the attention of the :House to the circumstance that the private business of the House, during the present session, had been seriously .obstructed by the delay which had taken place in sending up the necessary reports from the Admiralty. He did .hope that in future sessions of Parliament arrangements 'would be made at the Admiralty to prevent a recurrence 'of that delay. Captain BERKELEY charged his Hon. Friend (Mr. :Hume) with making statements on this subject which .bad little or no foundation in fact. Mr. RICE, as a membter of the Tidal Commission, Ctimplained that the Hon. Member for Montrose had mixed up two questions which were essentially differs nt, mamely, the tidal harbours and the harbours of re- Inge, which had no necessary connexion. Mr. HENLEY thought if very herd that the Admi- . Amity should be censured for reducing their staff of 'officers from a motive of economy. After a few words from Mr. Henley, Sir H. Willoughby, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and Sir J. Graham, Lord J. RUSSELL intimated that the distribution of fthe medals referred to must be guided by certain rules, :and held that the Duke of Wellington and the Admiralty . were the proper parties to distribute these rewards, the - title of which must not so much be judged by individual cases as by general actions. The Bill was then read a third time and passed. CUSTOMS' BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. IRISH POOR-LAW. Lord JOHN RUSSELL intimated that he should take I this Bill to-morrow at twelve o'clock, together with the Workhouse Loans (Ireland) Bill. The Lords had made -a number of amendments which were of the most im portant character. Some of them the Government in tended to assent to, but they intended to dissent from others. Sir J. GRAHAM hoped the Noble Lord would state the nature of the amendments to which he intended to .object, and those to which he intended to agree. Lord J. RUSSELL said he should have them pre pared and distributed in time for consideration to morrow. TREASURY INSTRUMENTS BILL. This Bill was read a second time. COMPOUND HOUSEHOLDERS BILL. Sir W. CLAY moved the second reading of this Bill, :and briefly explained its object; which is this, to enable :parish officers to compound with tenants who pay their :rates as rent to their landlords, so that their :names may be placed on the register, and be thereby entitled to vote. At present, as the law stood, a party - thus situated, who possessed a 40s. freehold, must claim Ito be on the register, and attend four times a year, and tthe result was that no one would take the trouble to do so. :The Bill which he held in his hand was framed with a wiew to place the compounding householders on the name footing as the 40s. freeholders were placed by the Ateform Bill. He was sure that the House agreed with b.im that the case of these men called for redress. 4r. HENLEY did not think that the machinery of the Bill was right. The effect of it would be that the averseer would not know the names of half the persons non the register ; he would not even know whether they lived in the pariah or not. He was opposed to the !Bill on account of its machinery, As to the principle of tthe Bill, if a way could be pointed out by which it 6, could be worked, he, for one, would not oppose it. He should move that the Bill be read a second time this day tthree months. The SPEAKER then put the question. Lord J. RUSSELL avid that this was a questiOn of rig ht, and not of title. If he voted for the second road ie& of this Bill, it would merely be to signify that these was a remedy required for an existing evil, and this Bill furnished the remedy. Mr. NE WDEGATE thought that the course which the Noble Lord had laid down for himself was rather absurd, in voting an abstract principle on a question of machinery. He should vote for the amendment. Mr. ROEBUCK thought that to press this Bill now was certainly a waste of time. Sir JAMES GRAHAM agreed with the Hon. Member for Sheffield that this was a lamentable and in excusable waste of time. If he were driven to a divi sion he should' certainly vote against the Bill. He entirely agreed with the Noble Lord opposite that the case of the compounding householders required a remedy, and that this Bill was not the remedy; but he entirely differed with him in the conclusion he had arrivd at, and should vote against the Bill. After a short discussion the Bill was withdrawn. GENERAL BOARD OF HEALTH BILL. This Bill was read a third time and passed. INCLOSURE ACT (EXTENSION OF POWERS) BILL. This Bill was also read a third time and passed. LEASEHOLD TENURE OF LANDS (IRELAND) BILL. On the motion that this Bill be read a third time, Mr. DICKSON moved the following clause:— " Whereas some lands are held in Ireland by leases for a term of years exceeding five hundred years, with a pro viso or covenant contained therein, that three lives therein named should so long live, and containing a clause or covenant to renew those three lives from time to time during said term of years, without payment of any fine upon such renewal; and whereas the necessity of obtaining such renewals is useless, oppressive, and vexatious, be it therefore enacted, by the authority aforesaid, that any such lease shall continue and hold good as a lease for the full term of years originally granted by such lease, discharged of any such condition as to the term being dependent on the continuance of any lives named therein, or the ne cessity of renewing the same." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the clause, as unnecessary and not coming within the scope of the Bill. After some observations from Mr. DICKSON, strangers were ordered to withdraw, but at the sug gestion of Mr. MONSELL, the clause was withdrawn by the Hon. Member for Limerick. Mr. HAMILTON moved, pursuant to notice, to add the following clause to the Bill:—" And be it enacted, that in case of lands leased or under-leased in perpetuity, where the owner of the lease or of the under-Lease in perpetuity, or his respective heirs or assigns, shall, by any covenant or contract made with the owner of the re version or lessor in such lease or under-lease, or any re newal thereof, be bound and required from time to time to take out a renewal, or new lease or under lease in perpetuity, as the case may be, it shall be lawful for the owner of the reversion for the time being, of any such lands to leased or so under-leased in perpetuity, with such covenant or contract as last aforesaid, to make application to the said court, by petition, in like manner as hereinbefore mentioned, and subject to the like pro visions, and stating that he is owner of the lease or under-lease in perpetuity in such lands, derived imme diately from such reversion, as the case may be, should acquire the fee and inheritance in such respective lands, under the provisions of this Act, subject to such fee farm rent or rents as herein provided; and such petition shall be heard and dealt with in like manner, and the rents, fines, fees, and interest, if any, and the fee-farm rents to be reserved shall be ascertained in like manner as hereinbefore provided, with like powers for ascertaining the eights of other parties, and a like report be made, with like operation, and subject respectively, as nearly as may be, to like provisions as hereinbefore contained, relating to an application under this Act by the owner of a lease in perpetuity." After some di cession the clause was withdrawn, Sir DENHAM NORREYS moved the following pro viso to clause 4:—" Provided always, that when any owner intermediate between the owner of the lowest estate in perpetuity and the owner of the reversion in fee, shall object to the intermediate rent being increased by the sum fixed on as an equivalent for royalties, it shall be lawful for the owner of such lowest estate in perpetuity to take a separate fee farm grant of or to purchase from the reversioner in fee the right to work the mines, minerals, and quarries of his estate, without requiring the assent of the intermediate owner." The SOLICITOR-GENERAL opposed the amend ment, and it was withdrawn. 'The Bill was then read a third time, and passed. METROPOLITAN SEWERS BILL. This Bill was read a third time, and passed. BANKRUPT LAW CONSOLIDATION BILL. On the motion that this Bill be considered as amended, Mr. ROEBUCK objected to the 255th clause, which increased the number of bankruptcy offences, and gave the courts power to imprison bankrupts whom they con sidered guilty of any of those offences, which were nine in number, for a period not exceeding twelve months, without having reference to a trial by jury. If the clause were allowed to remain in the Bill as it now stood, a vindictive creditor could pursue an unfortunate debtor to vengeance instead of justice. He proposed, therefore, that the clause should be so amended that in cases where the court deemed the bankrupt guilty of any of the enu merated offences, he should be tried upon a criminal pro secution before he was imprisoned. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL resisted the amend ment, observing that the clause objected to had received the approbation of the trading community generally, while, with two exceptions, the Select Committee, who had examined the Bill, had given in their assent to it. It appeared to him, however, that the clause was not of that oppressive or arbitrary character which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had given to it, for under the existing law the Bankruptcy Commissioners possessed the power of suspending the bankrupt's certificate for an indefinite period, thereby enabling the creditor to throw his debtor into prison under the process of civil law. He really, therefore, could see no substantial objection to the clause as it stood, and as it was viewed with feelings of satisfaction by the trading community, not only of London but of the country generally, he hoped the House would not assent to the proposed al teration. Mr. BERNAL deprecated proceeding with a Bill of such vast importance at this late period of the session, when it was impossible for Members fully to consider it. He especially complained of the 125th clause in the Bill, which gave power to the Postmaster-General to detain all letters addressed to the bankrupt, thus preventing him carrying on any correspondence through the Post office.—(Hear.) Mr. PEEL entered into a slight sketch of the law of bankruptcy, and stated that he should give his support to this Bill, because it would give the creditor that protection which he really required, and of which recent legis 7 ation had tended to deprive him. It would also tend to aid in checking that great sacrifice which was made every year by bad debts under bankruptcy and in solvency. The loss under bankruptcy and under deeds of composition since the present law came into existence was no less than fifty millions. He therefore thought, as the law of late years had been in favour of the debtor and against the creditor, that the power which it was proposed to grant to the Commissioner was not too great. He considered that they should do all they could to increase the extension of credit, which must depend upon the security which was afforded by the debtor. Sir J. GRAHAM said, as a warm and sincere friend of the Hon. Gentleman, he was delighted to hear him speak with so much perspicuity, but, at the same time, he had heard with regret what had fallen from him, because he could not altogether assent to the doctrines which he had laid down. He admitted that it was a great public object to uphold credit in this country, where credit was the great instrument of commerce. The real question was, whether offences committed by a bankrupt and now punishable only by indictment, should be brought under the summary jurisdiction of a commissioner. Now he thought he was bound to exercise his judgment in favour of the weaker party, and therefore he had the greatest doubt as to the propriety of the proposed altera tion in the Bill. Mr. HEADLAM believed if this Bill were to pass the law would remain, for all practical purposes, the same as it was at this present moment. Ho had also to com plain of the very hasty manner in which the Bill had been carried through the llouse. There were two ob jects sought to be attained by the Bill, first, a more sum mary remedy against the estate of the bankrupt, and secondly, a more summary remedy against his person . As to the general estate of the bankrupt the law left it precisely as it was before; and as respects the per son , there was a very slight distinction, namely, the power which a creditor would have of treating the debts of a bankrupt who had not obtained his certificate as judgment debts. He thought this a very bad sample of legislation.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. HENLEY opposed the Bill. Mr.MASTERMAN thought every means which could be devised with the view of preventing fraudulent bank rupts obtaining their certificates should have the sanction of the House. As an individual long connected with the trading and mercantile interests of this metro polis, cases had occurred within his experience which convinced him of the necessity of using the most stringent means to punish fraudulent debtors, as also to prevent any unnecessary obstruction being thrown in the way of a man obtaining his certificate who had honestly given up all his property to his creditors. Mr. SPOONER said they were placed in great diffi culty in being called upon to pass a Bill upon the faith of which he, for one, could declare he had no accurate knowledge. The amendment was then negatived without a division. On the schedules being proposed, Mr. ROEBUCK proposed as an amendment the omis sion of all the words relative to a system of graduated certificates. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the amend ment. Sir JAMES GRAHAM said if the Honourable Member for Sheffield divided he should go into the lobby with him. So great a power as that of blast ing the character, ought net to be trusted to one Commissioner. The Judge Advocate and his Hon. Friend Mr. F. Peel objected to it, and as the principle was entirely new, and too great for one judge, he was opposed to it. It was impossible to define the gradations accurately, and could not fail, from their arbitrary nature, to work injuriously. Let the House bear in mind that they were dealing with a great commercial principle, and to deal with it hastily and upon new principles could not fail to be dangerous, and could not be too highly deprecated. Mr. MITCHELL held that the measure had not been hastily concocted, since it had emenated from a com mittee of traders who had met in London some two or three years ago. Ho supported the clause as it stood, and said the commercial world was much :indebted to the Attorney-General for his clear exposition of the law, and also to the Noble Lord at the head of the Go vernment.—(Hoar, hear.) Mr. HENLEY asked the House what was an "un avoidable misfortune," and called attention to the fact that what was an unavoidable misfortune at one time would not be so at another. Ho should support the amendment. Mr. SPOONER should support the schedule. The amendment was therefore negatived without a divihion, and the clause was agreed to. The report was agreed to, and the Bill was read a third time and passed. Toe further Consideration of the Admiralty Jurisdic• don in the Colonies Bill, and the Poor Relict (Ireland) Bill, was postponed till to-morrow. THE MAURITIUS. Mr. HUME moved an address for copies or extracts of all dispatches or letters from Sir William Maynard Gomm, Governor of the Island of Mauritius and its dependencies, with copies of all petitions or memorials addressed to her Majesty, or to Parlia ment, as well by the inhabitants of Mauritius as by the Mauritius Association in London; together with copies of all recent Local Laws passed by the Governor and Council of Mauritius, and of the instructions and dis patches to the present Governor, Sir George William Anderson, C. 8., and not yet laid before this House. After some observations from Mr. HAVES the mo tion was withdrawn upon the understanding that the Under-Secretary for the Colonies would lay on the table of the House returns showing the course that was in tended to be pursued.by the Government in future with respect to the Mauritius. ORANGE PROCESSIONS IN IRELAND. Mr. REYNOLDS then rose, pursuant to notice, to move for " Copies of any correspondence between the Government of Ireland and the civil and military autho rities :of the county of Down, relating to processions, public meetings, or armed assemblages of the people on the 12th day of this instant July," and was - - - (LEFT SPEAKING.) THE FETES OF GHENT. JULY 24.—1 f your readers a re as t i red as we are here of the interminable accounts of insurrections, bombardments, and the ranting h arangues of soi-di• s ent patriots, they will hail with pleasure anything which speaketh of a pea ce f u l state of things. As if the rulers of Belgium were determined to show how con fident they are in the go o d sense of the people, they, i nstead of prohibitions, have held out every inducement fbr them to meet and congregate in large masses. Brussels set the example last year, Liege and Matinee have followed worthily, and now Ghent is attracting tens of thousands by her fetes, which for novelty and splendour bid fair to rival if not surpass all has hitherto been seen in that way. No city is richer in traditions, and the idea of recal li ng, to the present generation of their countrymen, the glories of Flanders under her counts, was a happy one on the part of the men of Ghent. Having, without arriere pensee indentified itself with the new order of things, Ghent has invited her Sovereign and fellow -citizens to witness the faithful representatives of the leaders and sacred bands who, under them, stoutly contended for their rights and privileges, and who raised their city to a degree of eminence in arts and commerce that few have tained; and to tell them, at the same time, that in the hour of need they are still to be relied on. The historical cortege of yesterday was worthy of the ancient splendour of Ghent. Anything like a full de scription of it would trespass on your space too much. I must confine myself to stating that every celebrity from Banvour Bras-de-fer to Marie de Bourgogne was present in the cortege in strictly historical costume, com prising a period of more than 600 years. Nor were:the popular Flemish leaders forgotten. The all-powerful Jacques Von Artevelde was represented by a colossal statue of splendid proportion, and in a most dignified attitude. He was followed by his valiant brother Philippe, and by Jean Borlerut, and Pierre de Comuck, the victors of Courtrai at the " Maine des eperons d'Or," Mingled with them were the allegorical cars, of stu pendous dimensions and most elegant proportions. The most remarkable were the cars of Horticulture, the Commercial car, and that of Concord. This cortege is to be repeated on the 29th inst. and on the 6th of August. rf,Tne Icing and Royal Family arrived on Saturday; their reception was brilliant, and of the most loyal cha racter. On Sunday evening the magnificent saloons at the theatres were thrown open. They surpass in ele gance of decoration and proportion anything of the kind in Europe ; and on this occasion they were transformed into a perfect Arabian Nights' Palace. Their Majesties were present, when they again met with a welcome that must have been most gratifying to them. Abundance of entertainments are provided for all classed from the highest to the lowest; and that ad mirable feature in the fetes of this country, a care for the poor has not been forgotten, abundant distributions of bread and good cheer are to be made during the . fetes. MR. PIPS HIS DIARY. TUESDAY, JULY 10.—Sent my Vest to the Tailor's to be let out in the Back, and my Wife and every Body say I grow too stout, which do put me in mighty Pain lest I should lose my shape ; wherefore I have resolved to take a long Walk daily, fur Exercise, to bring down my Fat. So began this Day and set out to walk to Barn- Elms, by the way of Hammersmith, on a brave melting Afternoon. I did muse at the Number of Carriages that passed me, crammed full, and Omnibuses crowded both inside and on the Roof, and the people upon them whooping 'and blowing Horns, as the British Public always do when they ride to see any Sport. At Hammersmith found what all this meant, every one there hastening to the River, this being the first day of the Thames Regatta, and the Suspension-Bridge thronged, and Festoons of Spectators on the Chains. Did go upon the Bridge, cost me -id. toll, but would not have missed the Sight for Gcl. or is.; for the Thames with Boats scattered all over it, their Flags fluttering, and their Crews shouting and laughing full of Fun and Glee, made a lively Picture ; and also I was just in the Nick of Time to see a Race; four Boats of as many Oars darting under the Bridge at full Speed, while the Beholders cheered and hol lowed with all their Might, and a Bell rung, and a Band of Musique upon the Bridge Pier did play "Love not." Good Lack I how wrapped up the People did seem to be in the Race; and how they did cry for Blue to go it ; and now that it was Red, and then Pink, and at last that Red had it, meaning the Colours of the Rowers, which indeed looked very smart and spruce. Over the Bridge, and, instead of to Barnes, down the Ri ver, along the Towing Path, which was also thronged with Folks running to and fro, all Eagerness and Bustle. So to Putney, where the Races do begin, and there the Multitude greatest both on the Bridge and on the Shore, and Finch his Ground to the Water-Side quite a Fair, with Fat Ladies and Lefaned Pigs and Gilt Ginger-bread; and his Tavern beset by Customers for Ale, and mighty good Ale it is. H ere more Boat - Racing, with Firing of Cannon, Jollity, Shout. ing, Jangling of Street Pianos, and everywhere To• bacco-Smoke and the Popping of Ginger-Beer. Some fouling of Barges, but no worse Mishap, though I ex pected every moment that Somebody would be ducked. Methought how neat and dainty the light Wherries and Wager-Boats did look among the other Craft; but loth I should be to trust my Carcase in a Cockle-Shell, that sit ting an Inch tco much on one side would overthrow. Mightyplcasant also to beheld on:the Water the little Parties of Beauties, rowed by their Sweethearts, under Awnings to shade them from the Sun, and the Ripple on the Water and the Smiles on their Faces, and to hear the Giggling, which was a prelty Noise. Afloat everywhere in their Booting-Trim I did note sundry of those young Sparks that do and thick and talk of nothing but pulling up the River, and live upon it almost, like Swans or Geese ; and Mr. Wagstaffc, whom I met, do say they have no Brains in their Skulls. But, however, that Boat- Racing its a true British Pastime, and so long as we pull together he will back us against all the World. " And talking of that," says he, " the Sport being ended, sup pose we take a Pull at some of Finch his Ale;" which we did with great Content and so Home.—Punch. NOV EL SUSPENSION BRIDGE OVER TUE DEE.— The means by which this bridge is suspended are so completely hid from the public view, that the cas ua l observer would be at a l oss to knowhow it really was supported. It is 150 feet between. the bearings of points of suspension. The platform, which is seven feet wide, is supported on twelve round iron chain rods, in links of fifteen Let each, with very secure joints placed alternately, and running the whole length of the same. These chain rods are secured together ay means of tra versed flat bars placed at intssvals of about six feet apart' upon which the timber platform rests, and is secured to the same by means of T-headed bolts and nuts rut - Yang through the whole, and screwed firmly to gether underneath. The chains are made perfectly fast at one end to a huge stone pier, built in the embank ment. The centre of the pier at the other end of the bridge is formed into a large pit, upon the top of which is secured a very strong turn barrel, around which the whole of the chains take one wind and descend into the pit, and are secured to a strong cast-iron plate suspended near the bottom, at a depth of thirty feet, upon which is built a heavy mass of masonry, forming a weight which completely counterbalances the whole, thereby providing for every degree of deflection, contraction, and expansion. It is also further secured by very strong back -stays at each end of the bridge, running a considerable distance inland at a great depth under ground, and firmly belted to heavy blocks of hard oak, thereby having a resisting pressure of many hundred tons of earth-work, I independent of the massive stone piers upon which it rests. It is erected on the estate of Earl Howe, close to the magnificent Grosvenor-bridge, over the River Dee. The design and construction have been left solely to Messrs. MiCean, Perkes, and Co., of Liverpool, and they reflect great credit upon them in every respect, as it is a most unique design, and the first that has ever been constructed upon this principle. Judging from the low price at which it has been erected, we presume it will not be the last. —Liverpool Mercury. DISCOVERY OF A ROMAN ALTAR.—III digging for sand in a sandpit at Boughton, near Chester, a few days since, a Roman altar was discovered, which is certainly not the least interesting of the remains lately brought to light in this neighbourhood. The altar is small, and has no doubt been intended for a portable one; it stands 12 inches high, and is about 7 inches square. The inscription is just sufficiently legible to afford matter fur discussion and suggestion to the antiquaries. The first line has the usual dedication—" Genic"— plainly and sharply cut; but from the nature of the stone, the red Fandstone of the vicinity, the succeed ing lines, three in number, are less legible, and admit of more than one interpretation. Some read the second line " Averni"—a reading very little indicative of the heavenward aspirations of its worshippers. The altar is at present in the possession of Mr. William Ayrton,.who has presented it to the Chester Archaeological Society, to whose museum it will be removed after the visit of the British Archeological Association to Chester.— Chester Courant.

(Before Sir J. WIGRAm.) BRCCDEN V. THE SOUTII-EASTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. The Solicitor. General, Mr. Wood, and Mr. A. J. Lewis, were further heard on the part of the plaintiff, in opposition to the motion for committing him for breach of an undertaking, as mentioned in our report of yes terday. They went at great length into the details of the evidence, for the purpose of showing that the un dertaking had been complicd with. They contended that the motion for commitment was informal; that the default was really that of the company; and that they were bound to prove their case with the greatest strictness. Mr. J. BAILEY addressed the Court in reply. Ilis lIoNouR said he should not decide upon the mo tion until he had seen the cenificate of one of the Government inspectors as to the state of the works. A doubt was mentioned by the registrars as to the effect of the order or undertaking, it being suggested whether, where parties undertook with each other and the Court did not make any order founded upon such undertaking, the motion being ordered to stand over, the Court had power to enforce that as an order. Again, it was clear that this was a conditional undertaking, and, until an order was obtained, it was doubtful how far the Court could, upon such a proceed ing, proceed by commitment. He should certainly not make an order adversely to the plaintiff, except upon payment of the 5,0004 to him for expedition money, because if the line really was fit for public traffic on the day mentioned in the undertaking, it would be a strong measure to enforce the contract in favour of the com pany without having the money paid. If the Govern ment inspector reported that the line was not even now finished, the case would stand in a very different situation. [Pending the argument, the company offered to pay the plaintiff 5,0001., and to pay or give security for the payment of what might be due to him for his profit on the repairs during two years, but the point on which the parties could not agree was as to the absolute delivering of the line into the hands of the company, free from eny interference by the contractor. It seems probable that the case may be settled by arrangement, without calling for the decision of the Court upon the question involved in the motion.] i,i ADMIRALTY COURT, July 25. 'A (Before D r . L USHINGTON.) ii THE SOPHIA.--SALVAGE. This was a suit promoted by the owner an d crew o f . . . 4Z the lugger Nelson, of Margate, against the schooner Sophia, a vessel bound from Spain to London with a Os . cargo of nuts, valued at 1,1001. It was stated by the - salvors that on the 19th of December, about twelve 2 o'clock at ni g ht, th e w i n d was b lowing from the cast 6 with a heavy s ea w h en t h ey saw a l i ght off the Long 5% Nose Rock. They manned their boat and went out to 'Ohi the assistance of the vessel which had made a signal, and 3 which proved to be the Sophia. She had lost her rudder, and was beating very heavily on the rocks when they ' went on board; but the sea continuing to beat heavily, they left the schooner, and, with their boat, took shelter under the rocks, where they remained until five ice. o'clock the next morn i ng, when they obtained' more hands, and again went on board of the "schooner, set the pumps to work, go t her off the rocks, and to o k' her into Margate harbour, where she was anchored with - safety, and for which service they now claimed salvage. - On the other side, it was stated that when the schooner 3 4 was on its voyage to London, about two miles and a 7 half east of Margate, rounding the North Foreland, she s got upon the rocks. Her crew then hoisted a light for assistance, and a boat came alongside with three hands on board. They returned to the shore for more hands, Lee. and then ag a i n came on b oard, but refused to remain by the schooner. The next day, the wind having abated, they again came on board and assisted tho master of the 23schooner to get his vessel off the rocks and into Mar -4 gate harbour, all of which was done under the directions ltd of the master, and for the service rendered by the lugger 1001. had been tendered, but refused. Upon the arrival i°4 of the vessel in Margate harbour the cargo was sold _..-- under the advice of Ll,,yet's agent. Dr. Robinson and Dr. Pt - Win/tore appeared for the salvors.; and Drs. Addams and Twiss were heard on the ___ part of the schooner. ?rice. The Learned JUDGE, in givi ng hi s d ec i s i on, re f erred to the mode of proceeding iu this case on the part of the proctors engaged in the cause, in which he acquitted the parties of any evil intention or malpractice, but alleAed 176 over-zeal on their part. If there had been any med al 77 practice, this Court would know how to meet the parties 99 offending. In this ease, as in many other cases of the 93same kind, the statem e nt s were l u ll of contradictions. 122 There was no doubt that th e weat h er was very boiite - rows when the vessel was driven on the Long Nose Rock, and she hoisted a signal for assistance. There was not a question that the salvors were on board their lugger, Ice. looking out for vessels in distress ; it was not probable that they would go out on such a night in a skiff. The services were of an arduous and trying nature, and the t master of the schooner felt that his vessel was in great danger, or he would not have gone ashore. He (the Learned Judge) felt the tender of 1001. was not suffi cient on these grounds—the extreme danger, the skill of the men, and the great severity of the weather, with the sufferings they must have undergone. He would award the sum of 1501, the costs to be paid part by the owners and part by the salvors. The case of the Fre. derick had been referred to, but the Court could not look upon the case as similar ; it should not, therefore, con denin the proctors in the costs, as there was no fault to be found with them, the error proceeded from an over -4 zeal on their part. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE. A man, named Horatio Nelson Spinks, was brought before Alderman Carden, upon the charge of having violated his own child, Elizabeth Spinks, aged sixteen years. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoner, who resided in the neighbourhood of St. Mary-at-Hill, com mitted the offence under circumstances which marked the case with peculiar atrocity. His wife, the mother of the girl, had died of cholera, and on the day of her burial, which took place the day after her death, and in the presence of his two other female children, the ac cused actually perpetrated the crime. Tho prisoner, upon being asked by the Alderman .7 34 whether he wished to say anything in answer to the charge, and being told that what he might say would be taken down by the clerk and might be used in evidence against him, stated that the girl had not only consented to but invited the intimacy upon several occasions. It is unnecessary to observe that the defence excited the utmost abhorrence and disgust in the justice-room. Alderman CARDEN, in committing the prisoner to Newgate for trial, said there were no words in the lan guage capable of adequately describing the deep atrocity of the offence with which he was charged, and the per petration of which his own acknowledgment confirmed 83 in the most re vo lti ng manner. Mr. Smith, the medical gentleman who was examined upon the occasion of the charge, stated, in answer to A% questions from the Alderman, that he was sure the prisoner's wife had died of cholera, and that his son had died of the same fatal disease but a short time previously.

An old ante-union statute gives the Lord-Lieutenant the power of practically stopping the publication of any Irish news paper, according to his will and pleasure; and, accord ing to the same authority, the Postmaster General may refuse to forward a hostile newspaper through the Post office. If he should think proper to do so, no action would lie against him. His forwarding newspapers at all is quite a matter of courtesy on his part. So says the law. Therefore Mr. Duffy's now project is knocked on the head.

U John Cuttell, in the employ of Messrs.

Jones, of No. 2, Serumscott-street, Bermondsey. Ho wanted three icf. dozen of sherry and one of port, and wished to take the latter with him, which, however, was refused. He then ordered the wine to be sent the following morning to Mr. 6a Jones. The next morning the wine was sent, and, on a 5(1 . call being made for the money, it was found that the 561 pretended Mr. Jones had decamped.

Henry Rowe, 14 of 'the City police, said, on searching • the prisoner, he found a pocket which contained a num ber of tradesmen's invoices letters, &c., and he thought if the case was remanded, and it obtained publicity, it would turn out that the prosecutor was not the only tradesman who had been victimized. ad Alderman CHALms remanded the prisoner until next - Wednesday. Bail was refused. 3 SOUTHWARK. IThomas Revell, William Dorman, and James Hughson, three young men, were brought before Mr. Cottinghaw, charged with assaulting and violating Ann Conolly, a married woman, thirty-eight years of age. The complainant, who seemed exceedingly ill, stated that she lived in Potier-street, and that her husband was a patient in one of the Borough hospitals. On the preceding night, about eleven o'clock, she had occasion to leave home for the purpose of buying a box of matches, and on passing near the Falstaff public-house, in Kent-street, she saw three men standing together. She walked forward until she arrived at a turning lead ing to an open space of ground at the rear of Kent street, when the three men she had previously observed rushed upon her, and forcibly seizing her by the arms dragged her down the place. She cried for mercy, not knowing what they were going to do with her, when one of her assailants struck her on the side of the head, threatening to repeat the blow if she made any noise or outcry. They then urged her forward until they ar rived at a considerable distance from the house, and when they got her there they threw her down. The complainant here described the particulars of the out rage which was perpetrated upon her person, and which are unfit fur publication; but from her evidence it appeared she had been violated by the three defendants, who she said beat and kicked her when she resisted or attempted to give any alarm. They kept her there for a length of time, and when they left her she managed to crawl from the spot, and gave in formation to a policeman of the circumstances attending the outrage. She added, that although it was dark at the time, yet that she had an opportunity of observing the men, and that she was confident the prisoners were the parties. That she could Teak with certainty as to the features of - Revell, having had an opportunity of seeing his face during the time he was, ill-using her. That the two other prisoners were of the height and make of her other assailants, although one of them had since changed his clothes; yet that disguise did not pre vent her now from identifi ing Folic , wan Thompson, 32 M, stated that when he was proceeding along his beat, the complainant, whose clothes stud bonnet wore torn, informed hint pf the witY COAL MARKET.---YEDAY.
