There is at length some prospect of Chancery reform. Some of the most glaring and palpable abuses in the Irish Court have attracted the attention of the Legislature, and a measure has already passed the House of Commons by which a new tribunal will be created for the cheap, speedy, and effectual trans fer of incumbered estates, in place of the expensive, protracted, and uncertain proceedings that have hitherto taken place under the jurisdiction of the Court of Chancery. The evils of the " receiver system" have also been prominently brought for ward, and a Committee has been appointed to inquire and report thereon, from whose labours the most beneficial results may be anticipated. The point of the wedge having thus been introduced, the rest will speedily follow. The principle of Legislative interference with the working of the Court being once este.blished, Parliament will not be satisfied with removing some of many existing abuses, nor will it deal with the Irish Court only, but will also reform and amend the English practice, and cleanse the Augean stables of the filth accumulated during successive centuries. The delays, expenses, and practical injustice of what are pleasantly termed "proceedings in equity," have become a reproach and a disgrace to the entire nation. The simple fact that a perscn is brought into Chancery is in the great majority of instances suffi cient to ensure his utter ruin. No mode of escape is available—the surrender of his property to an un founded demand—the total abandonment of claims to which he may be clearly entitled —may be in sufficient to ensure his extinction from its meshes. Although he may have no personal interest in the subject-matter in dispute, he may sti l l be a "neces sary party" to the suit, and thus compelled to remain before the Court, and to submit to a heavy expendi ture for costs, and many annoyances while the pro ceedings are protracted beyond human endurance, and perhaps commenced de novo at the very mo ment when it might reasonably have been supposed that they were drawing to a conclusion. The period for great and comprehensive alterations in the ad ministration of the law has arrived. There is but one alternative ; either the machinery of the Court must be adapted to the spirit of the time, and a mode of procedure adopted by which justice may be ob tained by every suitor within a reasonable time, and at a moderate expense, or the Court itself must be abolished, and a new tribunal erected on its ruins suited to the wants of the people. None can attempt to justify or defend the mode of procedure in the Court of Chancery. Its very judges and officers are compelled t o acknowledge thejustice of th e complaints that have been preferred, and to join in the indignant denunciations that may be heard on every side. Many of those holding portant and lucrative situations in it have come pro minently forward as legal reformers, explaining the chief causes of the existing grievances, and offering valuable suggestions for their removal. ot Eminentonly counsel have also published their opinions, not with respect to the absolute necessity for speedy changes, but setting forth the nature of the al terations so imperatively required. The so ciety for Promoting the Amendment of the Law have considered the question in all its bearings, and in clear and able reports have traced these evils to the fountain head, and laid bare the sources whence they flowed. Even the solicitors, the very persons who are supposed to profit most by the continuance of the nuisance, have joined in the general outcry, and declared that " owing to this de fect in our institutions, wrong is without redress, frauds and breaches of confidence in the most sacred relations of life are committed with impunity, and even encouraged, while the far greater number of suitors are driven to the miserable alternative of compromising their suits on terms the most disad vantageous, or of allowing them to remain for an in definite number of years entirely unadjudicated ;" while novelists have detailed cases of deep and bitter suffering, but which are more than paralleled by the terrible realities of every day life. " Boz" has graphically depicted the miseries of the Chancery prisoner of thirty years' standing, who had long been forgotten by the world, and whose dying moments were only soothed by the sympathies of his fellow-victim—the cobbler who has been ruined by the bequest of a considerable legacy. The picture was by no means overdrawn, for many such cases existed, and still exist, where the unfortunate suitors, having bad their entire revenues eaten up by protracted litigation, their spirits crushed by the " hope deferred that maketh the heart sick," and all their prospects in life blighted and destroyed, were ultimately consigned to a prison to linger out the re mainder of their days in melancholy and hopeless confinement. By all classes the intolerable nuisance is denounced and execrated—judges, masters, and officers of the Court, barrister s an d so li c it ors . Pl un d e red suitors and disgusted spectators are for once unani mous in deploring the grievance and demanding a remedy, but literally nothing has been done to meet the public wishes, or to provide adequate remedies for the acknowledged abuses. Some time since we noticed an exceedingly clear and well written pamphlet, by a solicitor, on the inherent defects of the Court as exhibited in its system of procedure and fees, with suggestions for a remedy. The writer was manifestly thoroughly acquainted with his subject, , and he brought a sound and vigorous intellect to bear upon it, and to apply his knowledge to the best purpose. We gladly hail the appearance of a second edition of this valuable little work, with considerable additions and emendations,* and with the name of the author on its title-page. It is dedicated to that uncompromising veteran Re former, JOSEPII Hume, who has devoted his life to the removal of every species of abuse under which the nation suffered. The facts of a case in which the writer was professionally concerned are detailed, as affording the strongest illustrations of the vicious system, and the inherent defects of the Court are pointed out with a master hand. Amid the fears of non-content Lords and the anxiety of Protectionist Commons, we would read them a lesson founded upon the principles of common sense and practical religion. There are certain Etate sermons preached in St. Paul's Cathedral by the Chaplain of the Chief Magistrate, which are not un frequently worthy of public attention. One of them was delivered on the anniversary of the " Restoration of the Royal Family," and another will be preached on Wednesday morning, to celebrate her MAJEsTY's accession. In turning over our memorandum we find the following sensible observations of the Rev. STEPHEN REED CATLEY, the Chaplain to the Loan MAYOR, delivered on the 29th of May, showing how a Christian minister can calmly view events which, perhaps, may not be in entire accordance with his own views and feelings. The Chaplain's text was from the 2 Sam., chap. six., verse 10. In urging the importance of religion being recog nised in the councils of the state, and of our hoping the best for measures which have passed into laws, he says—" Nor ought we to suppose, however they may be viewed through various and opposite media, and however some may conscientiously differ from them, that all measures are not founded upon honest, even if mistaken, principles; and that GOD who rules above, if he be faithfully served, will overrule enact ments which appear to many complicated, venture some, and unsound, and will bring peace and plenty cut of measures wbich seem to threaten even an op posite result. If it he difficult, amongst the most talented statesmen, to define what will be the precise effect of some legislative proposals, let us endeavour to rest our faith upon that very doubt; and, in confi dence and prayer, leave the results in the hands of our KING of Kings, who can change curses into blessings, raise a nation to glory, or trample it to ruin. If this principle actuated the hearts of all, how often should we see the best and surest foundations' laid by his power, beneath what some might think frail and futile arts of man ! If national prayers are really considered as prayers, how might dissatisfaction, and confusion, and party spirit end in peace and happi ness r Measures opposed to our earliest feelings, and to our calmest and most unimpassioned deliberations, would often result in the establishment of truth sad justice.' Enactments which seem to threaten some section of the Church of CHRIST would prove but the removal of bonds, and- limits, and distinctions, of human contrivance, but which, blessed and sanctified by GOD, would tend to the establishment of an end less reign of national religion and personal piety." We recommend these sentiments to the considera tion of timid and troubled statesmen, and while we have all reason to congratulate the City upon their selection of the LORD MAYOR, we cannot but con gratulate the LORD MAYOR, upon his selection of a Chaplain. " Attend to the neglected, and remember the for gotten. "t These beautifully expressive words form an appropriate heading to an appeal for the Ragged Schools, for the principle which they inculcate is the principle to which these Samaritan institutions owe their rise. For the sole and express purpose of giving attention to those (and, unhappily, they may be counted by thousands) to whom in this enlight ened age, and in this enlightened country, no atten tion whatever had hitherto been given, and of whom, although under our very eyes, no cognizance what ever had been taken Ragged Schools were established. During the five years of their existence they have done much, but that which they have accom plished sinks into insignificance when compared with what is still undone. Let any dispassionate inquirer bestow half-an-hour's attention upon the reports; or, better still, let him give ten minutes of personal investigation into the appearance of the Ragged Schools and the characters and conditions of their inmates, and he will wonder not that such institutions have been established, but that such an awful necessity for their establishment should exist, and, moreover, that it should have existed so long without meeting with any attention. The destitution and depravity of the children of London is almost incredible. Would to heaven we might disbelieve the painful and revolting records of those who have i nves ti ga t e d th e i r con diti on. W ou ld that we might convict of exaggeration those who reckon up the thousands and tens of thousands of children in this Ch r i s ti an land who live like savages and die like heathens. Would that we might dis credit their veracity who picture to us the ignorance and vice, the squalor and wretchedness of the children of the metropolis, and the filth and misery of their horrible abodes. But we cannot do so. Our daily experience affords to these details a sad and convincing confirmation. Who can walk through the streets of London morning, noon, or night, and venture to dis credit any records of crime or destitution ? And yet the daily lesson is ineffectual, the daily exhibition is unheeded. Destitution haunts our footsteps and crime flourishes before our eyes, but we turn aide — we close our ears to the voice of supplication, and madly exclaim with ALEXANDER, " Give us other worlds to conquer !" This dangerous infatuation has been very forcibly set forth in a recent sermons on behalf of Ragged Schools, which we earnestly com mend to the attention of that numerous body who give their mite to the missionary, and think they have done their duty. They will there learn, to their astonishment, let us hope, that nearly one hundred and fifty thousand pounds has been sub scribed iu one year for the missionary, and the Ragged Schools have had difficulty in obtaining more than a hundred pounds by annual subscriptions. Without in any way disparaging their philanthropy, who so strenuously support the heathen missions, we * " The Court of Chancery; its Inherent Defects, as exhibited in its System of Fees and Precedure: with Sug gestions for a Remedy.

True, the ruling principle of the Christian religion is to spread and diffuse itself among all nations, but he it never for gotten, that the same MASTER who bade his disciples " preach the Gospel to every living creature," also commanded them to teach their own people .first (" to the Jew first"). " Charity begins at home" we are told, by way of excuse, by the parsimonious. This rule, which is too frequently acted upon in domestic life, finds its sad " exception" in the 'cases of heathen missions and home neglect. As we have already said, we do not wish to discourage the Christian ambition which would diffuse throughout the world "the glad tidings of great joy." 'We do not say to the charitable "De sist from benefiting the heathen," but this we de say," In GOD'S name suffer not our little ones at home to perish !" 'Assist both the English and the heathen savage if your means permit ; but if not, remember your first duty is to look at home. Helpless infants dying of destitution, or growing up in villany, crowd your doorsteps. Re fuse to give them schools to teach them to work, and what are you the richer ? The law will compel you to build prisons and fit out convict ships, and erect the gallows for them hereafter. You may be sure of that. The alternative is simple enough. Give a little to-day to teach them how to live and fit them to die—to make them useful to the commonwealth here, and fit for happiness hereafter ; or to-morrow give much to punish the crimes you might have prevented and destroy the men you might have saved. We shall again recur to this subject, for it is one that we would fain believe only needs to be known in order to be cared for. It requires not the aid of eloquence to enforce its claims ; for, as the lamented CHARLES BULLER so beautifully said on one occasion, " If the tale of wrongs suffered does not excite our sym pathy, the tongue of an angel would be powerless to persuade."

The censorship is re-established, only it is re-es tab:ished officiously instead of officially. A police-agent presented himself this day (Sunday) at the office of the Siecle, the Presse, and the National, to warn these jour nals that if they persisted in repeating their views as to the interpretation given by the majority to the Articles 5 and 54 of the constitution, the majority of the Chamber would, on an interrellation beit.g raised on the subject, authorise the putting of the offending journal under se questration. We submit to force, but we desire that the public should know that our pen is no longer free." _ _ _ The journals of the Parti-pretre are now beginning to throw off the mask. The Univers, the avowed organ of the Jesuits, demands the re-establishment of the Censorship—a somewhat strange demand to come now from those who for the last twenty years have been brawling for what they curiously call "liberty of public instruction." The Assernblee Nationale calls upon the Executive to put down the revolutionary idea, and the Province thus expounds the rights of a majority :—"lf," says this journal, " the majority of 500 votes in the Legislative As sembly thought proper to call a pretender to the Throne, this act would be legal if the people did not repress it." Verily, the whites are as they always have been, utterly unteachable ; no wisdom have they learned by the events of the last eighteen years, but no sooner are they installed in power in 1849, than they commence, as in 1829, sowing the seeds of revo lution, broad- cast. The Journal des Debats has the following from Rome. It is dated the 10th : " The third parallel was opened on the previous night at fifty yards from the walls. The fortifications of Rome not being protected in the same manner as those of Paris, the approaches to them are much less difficult, and subject to much less loss from the fire of the enemy. Two days more will suffice for the completion of the third parallel, and for the construction of the breaching batteries. It therefore appears probable that on the 12th or 13th the walls would have fallen beneath the fire of our heavy guns. We do not exactly know in what part of the ramparts it is proposed to make the breach. That is generally the secret of the attacking party, in order that the besieged may not throw up intrenchments within that part. From accounts we have received, however, it is supposed that the breach will be opened at the salient angle of the Mount Janiculus, between the gate of San Paucrazio on the left and Porte Portese on the right. Mount Janiculus is covered with open grounds and de tached houses, and, as there are neither streets nor bar ricades, an entry would meet with no obstacles, and from thence the whole of the quarter Traustevere would be commanded." The expectations expressed in the above letter have not been fulfilled, as it was known in Paris that Rome still held out on the 14th. The proprietor of the Republique has announced his intention of proceeding under the penal code against those members of the National Guard who violated his domicile and broke his presses. The conductors of this outrage introduced during its per petration a corps of armed men into the compositors' room, and gave them these orders, " If you see one of those men (pointing to the compositors) stir, fire upon them." It is to be hoped that these " gentle men" will be severely punished. A letter from Civita Vecchia, dated the 11th, announces that the Duke D'HARCOURT and M. DE RAYNEVAL had landed there from Gaeta. They had proceeded to General 01:MINOT'S head-quarters.

The rapid advance in the Funds gave rise to the report that the French had actually entered Rome, but this we believe is not the case. They had not entered on the 14th.

The following resolution was adopted : " That a triumvirate be appointed with dictatorial power, of which it shall not render an account to the Assembly until the expiration of its authority." The Assembly then proceeded to nominate the members of the triumvirate, and appointed the Citi zens BRENTANO, WERNER, and GOEGG. The As sembly then declared itself en permanence. THE PALATINATE. The Prussians have entered the Palatinate, And fixed their head-quarters at Manheim. The follow ing intelligence, dated the 14th, has been received from that city : " The fourth division, in proceeding from Alzey to Kaiserslautern, encountered the insurgents at Kirch heimboland, and took the city, after a short engage ment. The Prussians had four soldiers wounded. The insurgents had seven made prisoners and forty killed. "The third division entered Kaiserslautern to-day, without encountering any opposition. It has occupied the town and its environs. The peasantry everywhere hailed the soldiers as their deliverers. In the city, on the contrary, and especially at Kaiserslautern, there are many sinister and suspicious countenances. PRUSSIA. The Prussian Government has, it is said, addressed a very energeti c no t e to the Duke of NASSAU, in viting him to establish order in his Duchy, because, if this is not done, Prussia will find herself under the necessity of charging herself with the re-establish ment of order in the Duchy. On the 12th instant the 2d battalion of the 9th Regiment left Berlin for Custrin (in the March), where disorders and insubordination had broken out amongst the landwehr. A part of the 10th Re- giment was also dispatched in haste from Frankfort on the Oder, in the sAme direction. The disorders are not supposed, however, to be very important. The Democratic Correspondence states that the Prussian Ministers have requested the Austrian Government to remove M. PROKESCIT, the Austrian Envoy at Berlin, whom they accuse of having fo mented insurrectionary movements there. In Halle and the adjacent villages the cholera is making frightful ravages. WURTII.LIIBURG. The Wurtemburg Ministry has addressed a note to the Members of the Provisional Regen c y o f Ger many, requesting them to withdraw from Stuttgardt. The Regency returned the following reply—" The Regency considers that its seat ought to be where the National Assembly is held ; it cannot, therefore, take into consideration the request of the Govern ment." AUSTRIA. There is no truth in the rumour that the Austrians have crossed the Waag. The Hungarians are at Ventra, where they are constructing entrenchments. The German Reform publishes a letter from Vienna of the 11th, which states that a traveller who had arrived from Raab reported that the Hungarians had defeated JELLA CHICII, and had taken the Ban himself prisoner. This news, however, stands in need of confirmation. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN. It is stated in Berlin that peace with Denmark has been definitively concluded. The question of the succession is provisionally kept in abeyan ce , an d th e independence of Schleswig is recognised so far that the King of DENMARJ appoints from this duchy three Governors, whom he shall select from among six candidates proposed by the national representatives of Schleswig. The Cologne Gazette, in giving this intelligence, says :—" We cannot vouch for the correctness of this statement, which is taken from the General Corres pondence. The Democratic Correspondence, on the other hand, says :—` We learn from a good source that peace was concluded yesterday between Prussia and Denmark. With regard to the conditions, Schleswig Holstein will remain provisionally united, as it is at present, and the national representatives will propose to the KING six candidates, from among whom he will select two as Regents of the duchy. The other points are reserved.'" ITALY. Accounts from Rome state that the foreign con suls have protested against the bombardment of Rome by the French, on the ground of the probability of the destruction thereby of the works of art. It was said that the Roman General iltutst had defeated the Spaniards. Ancona still held out on the 12th. The Venetians on the 6th refused the terms offered them by M. DE BROOK. EXPRESS FROM PARIS. ENTRANCE OF THE - FRENCH INTO ROME. PARIS, MONDAY, HALF-PAST 5 P.M. A steamer that arrived from Civita Vecchia at Marseilles on the 17th has brought the news that the French army entered Rome on the 14th, through the breach. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prins ) moonliousu v. STEER.. This was an action against the Sheriff of Surrey to recover compensation in damages for the injury s hich the plaintiffs (Messrs. Moorhouse and Rogers) had sus tained in consequence of his not having used direct pro per diligence in executing a writ which had been issued by them against the body of a person named Myatt, who was intle'rAed to them in the sum of 561., for building materials supplied to him . It was shown on the part of the plaintiff, that in January last a fi, fa. was issued directed to the defendant, who dispatched two sheriffs' officers to Leipsic-read, Camberwell, in order to execute it, but they found that the defendant had removed to Battersea, and a capias ad satislaciendam was issued against him, which the defendant also failed to ex ecute. It was shown also that some opportunities had presented themselves of arresting Myatt. On the part of the defendant it was contended that Myatt was a person without means, that he had long pllyed at " fast and loose," that the house at Battersea belonged to his brother, and that he only came there on Sundays, when the writ did net run, amd that he slept continually in Middlesex in order to avoid the service of the writ. It was to their interest to arrest him, but though they used due diligence they had been unable to execute it. Lord DENMAN left it to the jury to say whether the plaintiff had or had not suffered an injury by the acts of the defendant. The jury found a verdict for the plaintiff for 561. CRIM. CON.-HOWARD V.

CHAMBERS, who was for the plaintiff, after the pleadings had been opened, consulted for a few minutes with Mr. Sergeant Wilkins, who appeared for the defendnnt, who shortly afterwards intimated that the parties, in order to avoid painf u l exposures, h a d consented to a verdict of 151., which was accordingly entered. A-TIVE.—(THIS DAY . ) o Si r HERBE RT J ENNER FUST.) PRE (B R ef O re G WARD AND ANOTHER V. DRY. The question in this case was, whether a marriage solemnized in the Island of St. Lucia, in the West Indies, in the year 1837, between one Mr. William Dey and Miss Shirley Eliza Frazer, was a good and valid mar riage. It appeared that Miss Frazer was an illegitimate child, and at the time of her marriage a minor. The husband, William Dey, who was described as a journey in 1837, then a very yo ung g i r l , b e i ng only four man cooper, was alleged to hav e preva il e d upon Miss Frazer, teen years of age, to elope w i th hi m. She was then re siding with her family at Dem erara, and he induced her to embark on board ship with him at that place, and proceed to the Island of . St. Lucia, where th e p art i es , beings both Protestantso, were married i n th e par i s h i church in that sland, by a clergyman of the Church of England, under a licence from the Governor of the island, in the presence The two witnesses, and their marriage duly registered. The parties cohabited together for two months after the marriage, and then separated. The question now was whether Mr. Dey was entitled to take out administration to the effects of his wife, The QUEEN'S ADVOCATE contended that a marriage solemnized between two Protestants, in the parish church in the island, by a clergyman of the Church of England, under a license of the governor o f t h e i s l and for the time being, and duly registered, the parties afterwards living and cohabiting together, was a good and valid marriage. and was not affLcted by the lex loci, whatever it might be. He trusted the Court would have no difficulty in coming to the conclusion that this was a good and valid marriage, and that Mr. Dey was entitled to take out let ters of administration to the effects of his wife. Dr. JENNER, who followed oa the same side, submitted that to render a marriage between Protestants valid in the island of St. Lucia, it should be solemnized by a clergyman in holy orders in the Church of England, under a licence from the Governor of the island, and in the presence of two witnesses. All those requisitions had been complied with in this case, and he contended therefore that the marriage was good and valid. Dr. ADDAMS, who appeared for the executors, con tended that as it had not been shown that the parties were incapable of contracting a marriage civilly in the country where they were married, and that according to the evidence of a former Lord Chief Justice of the island a marriage might be contracted there civilly, the marriage would not be a good one. It was hardly questioned that marriages in general in the Island of St. Lucia were gove rne d b y th e l aw of France as i t existed before the revolution. Though the marriage had been solemnized as between Protestants by a clergyman of the Church of England in a church stated to be the parish church, in the presence of two witnesses and duly registered, yet the Court ought to look at th e c i rcums t anc es of the marr iage. It was clearly a clandestine marriage—the parties ran away together ; this lady being then of the very ear,y age of fourteen, was induced, by the now reputed hus band to embark on board ship at Demerara, whence she was taken to the island of St. Lucia, and there, without her parent's consent, the marriage was solemnized. A mar riage, according to the l e x loci, clearly it was not, and it ought to have been s uc h marriage to entitle . the re puted husband to sue fo r letters of adminstration of the deceased lady, his rep u ted wife. Besides, the only witness who deposed to the circumstances under which the marriage was said to have taken place was a girl named Whatley, a dress-maker, vaiose age was now o n ly 22, and w h o was spe a k ing t o a mar riage which t oo k place in 1837, w h en she must have g She r e deposed t t o thehasvoilnemg solemniza tion cohabitationttbih. e oe e n a bor o .fi n dt l ah y l ed te mr n e aasfrstma r r iage yearsand irawgaerdbselns'eheen who o e w pa a r s tie th s, on an a d t g o ir t l he o ir f o f t o ag b e ei n only ten years of age. Dr. Twiss followed on the same side, and contended that . the law of the i s l an d h a d not b een complied with. Sir 11. JENNER FUST said, this was simply a question of law for the Court to determine, and the Court must take its information on the law from those skilled in the law of the country where the marriage took place. It was alleged, and admitted, that the deceased lady, at the time of her marriage, was only 14 years of age ; that she was married without her mother's consent to this gentleman in a Protestant church in the island, by a Protestant minister, in holy orders in the Church of England, and that publication of the banns of marriage was dispensed with by a licence from the Governor of the island. These were the requisites which it was contended on the one side made a good and valid mar riage. The Court was of opinion that prima facie a marriage so had and solemnized was a good and valid marriage, and would be so held in this country. Then if the marriage was good and valid this party, being a married woman, had no right to make her will; and if it was not a good and valid marriage, she was at liberty to do so. The main question therefore was, as to the validity or invalidity of this marriage. The Attorney- General of the island said he was of opinion that by the laws and ordinances regulating marriage in St. Lucia a marriage between persons professing the Protestant reli gion, solemnized under a licence frum the Governor of the island, in a church, by a minister in holy orders in the Church of England, was a good:and valid marriage to all intents and purposes, without the publication of banns. On the other hand, a gentleman, who was formerly the Lord Chief Justice of the island, said he was of opinion that by the laws in force in 1837, when the marriage was solemnized, and still in force, no marriage in general could be contracted, so as to be good and valid in law, if contracted without due publication of banns first had and obtained, unless under a dispensation ac corded by the authorities either of the Roman Catholic or the Protestant Church. Now that went to show him (Sir H. J. Fust) that there was a power of dispensation somewhere; and here ,the Governor of the island had exercised that power of dispensation. He (Sir 11. J. Fust), therefore, pronounced for the validity of that marriage. 2,IIDDLES_EX SESSIONS. (Before the ASSISTANT-JUDGE.) The June adjourned sessions were commenced this morning, at the Court house, Cie' kenwell-grcen, The calendar contains the names of fitty-six pri soners. C. F. O'fiiggings, a member of the medical profes sion in Irefano, was brought up under articles of the peace, preferred against him, at the last sessions, for violent assaults upon his wife. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said, that when persons hold. ing so respectable a pooition in life as the prisoner, chose to get drunk habitually, and cruelly ill-use their wiv, s, as he had done, it would be the care of that Coart, to prevent a repetition of such conduct. He would therefore order him to give bail, himself in 2001,, and two sureties in 1001. each, to keep the peace for twelve months to all her Majesty's subjects. The defendant said he had been for some time locked up in the House of Correction, and he thought that he was coming here to be tried, and not to be sentenced without any trial. He was prepared with witnesses. The ASSISTANT-JUDGE said that no trial was neces sary, for there had been enough established to warrant the Court in holding the defendant to bail, and he should remain in prison until he found it. There could be no difficulty in his doing so, if he was as respectable a man as he ought to be in his station in life. 31 - ki RLBRO'-SIRE :T.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Hugh Henry Aikman, a gentleman residing at No. 68, Great Portland-street, was brought before Mr. Bingham, charged with having committed a most violent and unprovoked assault upon a police. constable whilst in the execution of his duty. Police-constable 72 E stated, that about two o'clock he was talking to a cabman in Devonshire-street, Port land-plug, when the defendant, whom he had previously seen walking with two females, came up to him, and called him a "D- dirty, beastly vagabond, and said he had a great mind to give him in charge." Witness desired him to go away quietly, and not to abuse him. The defendant then walked away, and had got about a dozen yards when he re turned, and catching hold of witness by the arm said, " Now, I will give ycu in charge," at the satne time calling out " police," us loud as he could. Witness then asked him what he wanted, and why he called " police." He made no reply, but took a stick which he had in his hand and struck witness a tremendous blow over the head, and knocked him down. The blow was delivered with such force as to cat his hat through. He was proceeding to further violmce, when another constable came up and took the prisoner to the station. The defendant, in reply to the charge, admitted the assault. He was labouring under great excitement in consequence of having indulged too freely in wind, and had not the least recollection as to what he was doing. Mr. -BINGHAM said that was no excuse, and commit ted him for seven days to the House of Correction. ROYAL GENERAL ANNUITY SOCIETY.-FANCY SALE.-THIS DAY. The grand fancy sale in aid of the funds of this institution commenced this morning at the Bazaar in Baker-street. The new room, generally appropriated to the purposes of a car riage repository, was used for this occasion, and looked re • markably well. The walls were tastefully covered with pink and white fluted calico, while at intervals over the stalls were placed suits of armour. From the ceiling were sus.- pended Union Jacks and other national flags, in fes toons, so as to form a sort of awning for the whole length of the room. At one end of the room was erected an orchestra also ornamented in a similar style, with pieces of armour and national flags. Here, under the leadership of Mr. G. F. Taylor, an excellent band performed in quick succession the favourite polkas and quadrilles of the day. Among the pieces performed we remarked the Duchess Polka, composed by Mr. Taylor expressly for this occasion, the profits arising from which are to be appropriated to the funds of the institution. The stalls were arranged down the centre of the room, and along the sides ; among the fair occupants we noticed the Duchess of Leeds, the Countess Talbot, Via countess Combermere, L a dy Bl a k e , L a d y Caroline Bathurst, Mrs. Milner Gibson. The show of goods was unusually at tractive, the Duchess of Leeds' stall was peculiarly rich in fancy needle• work of all descriptions, and we also noticed a very curious chess-board, the squares of which were formed by errblazoned scutcheons of various families, those of the Royal Family occupying their proper position in the squares of King and Queen. The Countess of Talbot displayed some beautiful drawings in water colours. In another part of the room we remarked three splendid naval models, of the Pegasus, Atlante, and Heros, beautifully carved in ivory and tortoiseshell ; the first of these was valued at 600 guines, the other two at 200 each. Owing to the unfavourable state of the weather the attendance of visitors was not so numerous as could be wished, but as the sale continues two days longer we hope that this very meritorious society will have no reason to complain. We understand that the principal object of this sale is to start a fund for the erection of an asylum for the reception of aged annuitants, and we need not say that such a project is de serving of cordial support and success.

PLAN OF ROME AND ITS ENVIRONS.—Mr. James Wyld, of Charing-cross, has just published a beauti fully engraved and most accurately drawn plan of the City of Rome and its Environs. This publication is i most opportune at the present moment, as by reference to it the relative positions of the Romans and the French are easily ascertained, whilst without some such plan as this it is scarcely possible to form an accurate idea of the events of which the " Eternal City" is at the present moment the theatre. SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.---The Royal Mail Com ' pany's steam-ship Medway left this afternoon for the West Indies, commanded by Captain Symonds. The mails were in charge of Lieutenant Scriven, Admiralty agent. The Medway took cut a very considerable quantity of merchandise for various places; 5,0001. in specie, and 26 bottles of quicksilver. Her passengers amounted to nearly fifty, amongst whom were Lady Colebrooke and servants, for Bdrbadoes. There were also several passengers for Chagres and Panama, on their way to the gold regions. The Jupiter, Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam ship, Captain Meehan, with the mails, in charge of Lieutenant Langton, RN., Admiralty agent, left also this afternoon for the Penin sula. She had berths engaged for nearly thirty pas sengers, besides carrying out a larger freight. The Indus, with the heavy portion of the East India m a il may be looked for about the 26th instant; and the steamer (Thames or Severn expected) with the West India and Mexican mails about the 22d. The Wash ington steam-ship, for New York, will leave on Wednes dtly, the 28th instant. THE GUARDS.—Yesterday having been the anni versary of the battle of Weterloo, the ceremony of trooping the Guards for the duty of the day was of an imposing character. At halt-past nine o'clock the guards of honour at St. James's and Buckingh..m Palaces, and the minor guards furnished by the troops quartered in the metropolis, were marched on to the parade ground in St. James's-park, facing the Horse Guards, where, having been minutely inspected by the field officer on duty, the guard of honour to the Queen, preceded by the band, were marched to the tilt-guard, to receive the colours of the battalion, which were surmounted by an immense bunch or laurel; the guard then took up their position on the right of the line, the remainder of the troops saluting with arms presented as the colours passed. After the customary evolutions the men were marched to their respective guards. The helmets and colours of the Ist Regiment of Life Guards were deco rated with laurel. Several officers in plain clothes were present, atAl like.iise many persons in an humbler rank in life, who, by the medals at their breasts, showed that they were in the melee, and shared the dangers of that, memorable day. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, QUARTER TO THREE. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 7,000 bales, and included 5 500 American at 5%d.t0 150 Pernams and Marahams at 4 3 ,4 (lit° 5 t4d. ; 150 Egyptian at 6%d. to 6 1 / 2 d„ and 600 Surat at WO. to 3 3 4 d. per lb. The market closed firm. In Railway Shares a fair amount of business was transacted. The market closed firmly and prices had an advancing tendency. The American letters and papers, by the steamer Caledonia, came to hand this morning, and we annex some of the com mercial items from New York : " The movements in foreign dry goods, in this port, for the week ending the 31st of May, were as annexed:— MOVEMENTS OF FOREIGN DRY GOODS IN THE PORT OF NEW YORK.

The amount entered for warehousing exceeds the amount withdrawn, twenty-six thousand dollars. The ex ports of merchandise from this port during the past week amounted to 826,465 dolls., and the amount of drafts on the Assistant Treasurer, 658,337 16 dulls. The receipts at the office of the Assistant Treasurer of this port, on Saturday, amounted to 43,292 33 dolls. ; payments, 341,158 64 dolls.; advices, 740,000 dolls. ; balance, 1,780,352 95 dolls. The re ceipts to-day amounted to 50,110 dolls. ; payments, 462,966 94 dolls. Balance, 1,357,496 dolls. The large payments to day and Saturday were on account of the Mexican Indem nity. Most of that portion due foreigners will probably be invested in American securities." The Mexican Indemnity will soon be paid off, reducing largely thereby the accumulations in the banks. It appears, and the fact is significant, that the textile ma nufacturing establishments in the United States have been very active, and even In Georgia and Tenessee there were buildings in course of erection. Of the Canada markets we are advised that business was dull. The arrival of shipping from sea at Quebec comprised thirty-four ships of 11,658 tons. The exports of produce from Montreal this year, to the 25th ult., amounted to 11,554 barrels of flour, 400 bushels of wheat and pease 12,432 bushels. Adissolution of Parliament was expected in Canada. There appears to be nothing important of later date from Mexico, but according to a statement handed to the Com mittee of Spanish American Bondholders by the Agents of the Mexican Government, it appears that the total sual received by them on account of the Mexican dividends, in cluding interest is ... ... £379,806 11 4 And that they have paid the half-yearly dividend due on the Ist October, 1844, on the active portion of 1837, 141,1891. 3s. 7d., and three-fourths of the dividend of Ist January on the New Bonds, 193,9511. ss. 335,140 8 0 --- Leaving a balance in hand of ... £ 44,666 3 4 We have a striking example to-day of the instability or tendency, at least, to temporary fluctuation of public securi ties. Although the French Funds came decidedly higher again, and confidence in political matters is stronger than for some time past, the:circumstance that the national revenue will be deficient "tells" sensibly upon the market, and assists the Bears. Considering that it was whispered last week that there would be a deficiency, and that we adverted to the fact in common with ono or two of our contempo raries, we may reasonably express our surprise that it was not duly estimated by stock dealers before to-day.

Yesterday was a gala-day at Vauxhall,to commemo— rate the battle of Waterloo. In how many place:, and how many times shall this great victory be achieved ? Well may the old veterans exclaim, " How oft shall this one lofty scene be acted o'er !" We were - curious to see the battle of Waterloo in the peculiar style of Vauxhall—what sort of serio comic, heroic, pantomimic, pictorial, grotesque, musical, mar tial, pleb-dramatic melange—what arange extravaganza worthy of the occasion and itself Vauxhall would pro duce, how evoke from the chaos of things, and the ideas they excite, an impression on the mind resembling that of the battle of Waterloo. We learn that in the theatres of Greece her artrom plished musicians undertook to repres-nt by music the combat of Apollo with the serpent Python. By the tones of their flutes, the tumult of the battle, the shouts: of victory, and the groans and sighs of the dying . : monster, were presented in vivid c „lours to the mind. How much of all this was due to the ardent fancy Of the Greek we pretend not to say. But we cannot see why in the present day martial music, aided by military'. display, together with sill the blaze and smoke,' the brilliant tumult of the pyrotechnic art, should fail !, to give the Londoners as good an id ea o f W ater loo •. on the day of its anniversary. The arrangements were most judicious. On each side of the Waterloo ground were placed the supposed combatants, and as the trees were, with excellent taste, made to conceal them, the , . mind was left full scope .to imagine their numbers. The , music, though principally a mixture of English and- French airs, is to be considered as one piece, arranged by Alexander Lee, and called the Vauxhall battle piece,. was very effective. It represented at first the advance , of the French in the distance. Then an immense body' of English music pealed like thunder upon the ear, in— terspersed with that of the enemy ; and as it changed.. mingled with the roar of artillery, it certainly succeeded. in occupying the mind with the idea of a great battle.. This impression was powerfully carried out by the fire— works, which were truly appropriate and brilliant. Mr— Darby seems to have called up all the resources of the; pyrotechnic art. Independent of an endless variety eft stars, rockets, wheels, brilliant with every colour, but which it is impossible for us to describe, the whole con eluded with a magnificent device. In the midst of a tre— mendous mass of fire-works, a picture of Welling— ton gradually develops itself; splendidly mined, and surrounded by trophies and standards of va riegated light. The whole was admirably managed, anti& with great effect, testified by the applause of an im— mense crowd of respectable people. The amusements or the circus, too, were really excellent, and beyond de— cription. The flying Hernandez seems hardly to touch. the horse, and the Auriols have always some astounding feat or amusing novelty. The whole passed off admirably. Every one cor ccrned seemed determined to make the commemoratic ant of Waterloo effective, and an immerse company Bean( id disposed to enjoy themselves. ANOTHER ACCOUNT. (From the Times.) Yesterday evening this favourite place of amuaemenA during the summer months put forth all its attractiot to in honour of the 18th of June. The handbills announce d a grand Waterloo fete, and, in order to give it due effeee the entertainments provided were upon the most exten`• sive scale. The musical department consisted of 150 performers, and comprised no less than three bands-• that of the Royal Artillery, and those of Messrs. Le e' and Dean. A body of military, amounting in all to 40 0 1 men, were present under the command of veterans wb ID had fought in the battle which the occasion was intends to commemorate. The pyrotechnic department, course, put forth all its resources, and the usual inner it nation of the grounds was increased by the light 01 40,000 additional lamps. The troupe of cquestria• 1 4 exhibited their wonted skill, the feats of young Lie. " nandez exciting great admiration. The grotesque per fbrmances of M. Auriol also were warmly applaudedi. In addition to these attractions an American bowling.- saloon and an archery-ground were opened for the firs t. time, and from the attention they excited seem likely t 0 become prominent features in the amusements of tb gardens. The great variety of the entertainment: et added to the beauty of the weather, drew togeth( g Pan unusual concourse of spectators. There could no 4 have been much less than six thousand people pre ;" sent during the evening, and the gardens the is crowded with gaily dressed visitors, lighted up Wit 11 innumerable variegated lamps, and resounding in ever. f part with the spirit-stirring strains of martial music( ' presented a scene of the most striking and effective kind The great feature, however, of the p e rf ormances was tb 0 display of fireworksl at the close, comprising, to use tb language of the handbills, " splendid representation 0 from the regions of light and fire, commemorative of tb great battlefield." Rockets were sent off into the ai t. and blue lights burnt, and brilliant devices exhibited fn surprising abundance. Even Waterloo itself sou fel hardly have been so dreadful in appearance as that exb bition of Mr. Darby's skill as a pyrotechnist. It term i' nated with a transparency of the Duke of WellingtE at Waterloo, and with an interesting display of 0 1 ' 3 electric light, which was thrown on the military cleplo) ing across the ground. The effect thus produced very striking, and was increased by the introduction 0:` martial music in such a manner as to harmonize with tilt: scene represented. Tblis " Tho British Grenadiers ! was played while the red coats were in sight, and 1:13 the sounding of trumpet calls at a distance the imaginer' tions of the spectators were helped to the belief that th,re French army was also on the ground. After the regur lar performances of the evening terminated many of th visitors left the gardens, while those who remained be r took themselves to the " Grand Salle de Dense" or " U' Supper Pavilion." " Scots wha bee wi' Wallace bled," is known fro' xs the king to the meanest of his subjects. This dithlee ramble was composed on horseback; in riding in th middle of tempests, over the wildest Galloway moor, i! company with a Mr. Syme, who, observing the poet '0 looks, forbore to speak—judiciously enough—for a mr to composing " Bruce's Address" might be unsafe to trit le with. Doubtless, this stern hymn was singing itself, 0 he formed it, through the soul of Burns; but to th 0 external ear it shoull be sung with the throat of tb,o whirlwind. So long as there is warm blocd in the heat.% of a Scotchman or man, it will move in fierce thrills undo this war-ode, the best, we believe, that seas ever writt , by any pen,—.Eliza cook's Journal. ACCIDENT ON THE SOUTH-WESTERN AND Win')." son RAlLWAY.—Yesterday an inquest of some hou duration was held at the Angel and Crown Inn, Stain( ' 5 9 before H. M. Wakley, Esq., deputy coroner for Middles. sex, upon the body of William Marlowe, aged 60, a , labourer in the employ of Mr. Taylor, a builder in thaA town, who was killed on the South •Western and Wind.* sor line on Tuesday last. After hearing evidence aJt considerable length, the jury returned a verdict of Ac r* cidental Death, to which they attached the following :- " " The jury cannot separate without expressing theit opinion, that sufficient care has not LC(3II used at tboo Staines station, where a very sharp curve exists, and r; to which point a road has not been constructed, pu r• suant to the agreement entered into by the directot.e. And they further consider, for the future safety of th.ts public, that no train should pass without stopping E.S Staines, and ezpf cially they recommend that a porter t to placed at the gates where this accident occurred, prey it ous to the arrival of each train." The London and Gravesend branch of the Soutb Eastern Railway, which is to be opened on or about th 30th instant, will, by a junction with the Gravesend an Stroud, complete the communication from London 1 0 Rochester, and thus bring the great naval and militar arsenals and depots at Chatham within the more imm , 1- diate reach of the authorities at head-quarters. Th importance of the line in this point of view (says a co, t' respondent) is therefore great, and it is to celebrate i. opening that the great military operations, which vi lately acquainted our readers were to take place rit Chatham at the end of the present month, are to be exe , cuted. It is expected that,Government will now avail itself of the opportunity of effecting an instantaneovoi communication, by electric telegraph, with Chatham, an a thus at once avoid the necessity of despatching thither as and thes a critical times so many ex p re , ses.
