RKENHEAD AND LIVERPOOL ;DOCKS BILL. )n the consideration of the above lir. HORSFALL moved that it be r e id a third time Thursday next. If r. MILNER GIBSON said be wis b ed to introduce ~.riendment. He considered it righ t to support the coo in iittees of the house generally ; bu t with respect to this t particular measure he believed th s committee had not the public interests represented ' a efore them, and it was for' the conservation of ale public in ten tats that he - wished to have :an amendment add tad to the hill. A commission had be en appointed to inq . ere into the dues levied upon shit it; and goods in vari .o as parts of the United Kingdom , and it was the jute n tion of Parliament to legislate ui ion that report ; and it was recommended by the Beal d of Trade that any a rrangement that might n o w be sanctioned with rear of to the Birkenhead Docks mig' at not embarrass any n ieasures that' Parliament might see necessary to carr y into effect. The right hon. gen Liman concluded by u: wing to insert certain words in the bill, the effect of A slt ich was that the Corporation of Liverpool should not leave the power of diverting ti 143 dues raised on ship p ing from maritime to 4 inere corpc ration purposes. h 9 Er G.

WALPOLE supported the bi ll as it came from the c 3mmittee. Btfi CHAMBERS, who addressei I the house amidst rep et ted cries of "divide," proceeded t.) point out the am bigut ms construction of the clause, a as I stated it to be his is itentlon to support the amendm. m t. Mr. HORSFALL regretted the k ion. member for Marc theater had moved this amend nent, and had im pugned the conduct of the committee . The committee, after much care and attention, agree d to this clause, adddz'g to it the special report, allud ec l to by the hon. me al'oer for Manchester. The retenti, on of this clause was .of such vital importance, that the promoters of the bill were advised that if the amendre ent of the right hon. gentleman the member for Mani hester be carried it mt st be fatal to the bill, because it would prejudice the rights of the corporation. Mr. G. VERNON defended the me istruction of the clause, contending that the words used were plain and comp rehensive. A: fter some remarks from Mr. Rim in favour of the clause, Mr. CARDWELL said that but I one clear meaning appeased to pervade the house, and to tie the same as that which originally pervaded the commit tee, that this bill should s tand on its own merits to of feet the important object for which it was intended, and that nothing in the operation of the bill should be p leaded in bar hereafter to any public measures the Crown might think proper to introduce in conformity with the recom mendation of the commissioners, which , bad been laid on the table. He thought that house was • not a good tri bunal for deciding on the legal applies tion of specific words, and he felt a difficulty in apprecia.t ;ing the precise effect between the words of the clause al id the amend ment. When his right hon: friend laid on , the table the measure of Government he believed the t in ensure would recei'e the full and dispassionate con sideration of the house, unprejudiced by the fact that th , 4 ,clause had been introduced into a private bill. Believii ig that to be an understood thing, he thought it was ur eriesirable to pre judice the matter by a division, and tb a t his right hon. friend would do wisely to accept the cla.o se in the words in which the committee bad presented it. Mr. GIBSON said that being the un .derstanding 'ae would withdraw the amendment. The amendment was accordingly withi lrawri t and the bill read a third time. EAST KENT RAILWAY (EXTEI iSION TO DOVER) BILL. On the Sneaker putting the question. that, this bill be read a third time, Mr. BROCK MIN opposed the third re /ding of the bill, believing that whilst there was a li no '4o Folkestone the public did not require one to Dover,, and complained that the South-Eastern Company had i iot been heard against the bill. He proposed the re-ox .mmittal of the bill. Captain EGERTON, chairman of the committee, de fended their conduct. The reason the committee re fused to hear the South-Eastern Company was that no property belonging to them was affecte d. by this bill. Mr. FITZROY considered no case had been made out for the re-committal of this bill. Mr. RICH denied that the properf y of the South Eastern Railway was not affected b y this bill. He proceeded to shuw that the line in qui cation passed be tween the terminus of the South Eat stern Railway at Dover and the pier where passengers embarked and dis embarked from the steamers. It also passed over the flags in front of the Lord Warden Hotel, which be longed to. the •South-Eastern Company, although leased for a number of years. The hon. gentleman' con tended that the South-Eastern Company ought to have been heard against this bill. Mr. RICH explained that the pledge given by the company had reference to the construction of a main line, and not the branches. What he now complained of was the branches. After a few words from Mr. LUSHINGTON, Mr. RICE was surprised at the .opposition of the hon. member for Richmond, recollecting the pledge given by the South-Eastern Company, of which the hon. member was chairman, not to oppose the formation of such a bill. Mr. RICH denied that the company had violated any pledge. Mr. RICE read the pledge, given by the Company under their seal to the House of Lords, not to oppose the construction of a direct line of railway to Dover. (Hear from Mr. Rich.) With regard to the injury complained of, in respect of the line passing in front of the Lord Warden Hotel, he found it would pass at the back of the property, and was approved of by the tenant of the hotel. Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR addressed the house, describing this bill es one of the most extraordinary that had been brought before the house. He thought it a strange proceeding on the part of the committee not to hear the South-Eastern Company against this bill whose property was affected by it. The amendment was ultimately withdrawn, and the bill read a third time. Petitions were presented by Sir T. Ackland against the Church Rate Bill, and by Mr. Spooner against the grant to the College of Maynooth. Several othet peti tions were presented against the Church Rate Bill. The house then resumed itself into committee on the Metropolis Local Management Bill. On cls.use 158 being proposed, which gave power to the Board of Works to make bye laws, Sir B. HALL proposed to amend it, for the purpose of giving a similar power to the Metropolitan Board. The amendment was agreed to, and the clause as amended was ordered to stand part of the bill. Clauses up to 160 were agreed to, with a few verbal amendments. [LEFT SITTING.] UNIVERSITY INTELLIGENCE. OXFORD, JUNE 25. ST. JOHN'S COLLEGE.

THE WEST INDlES.—Advises from Kingston (Jamaica) of the 30th of May contain later news from the other West India Islands. The usual spring storms and rains had been very destructive at the north side of Jamaica. Several estates in the neighbourhood of Trelawny were entirely flooded. The town of Rio Buano had a narrow escape from ruin. At St. Vincent, Demerara, Tobago, and other places the weather was unfavourable to the maturing of the sugar cane. In St. Lucia it was feared that the colonial import system would be disturbed by a free intercourse with Grenada.

At 4.30 p.m. those four divisions took up their respective poeftions, the divisions Mayran (3d) and Dula° (4th) on the side of Careening-bay, and the divisions Gamma (2d) and Brunet (sth) in the centre attack. " General Mayran was to direct the simultaneous attack against the White Works of the 22d and 27th of February. The Ist brigade of his division, commanded by General De Lavarande, and consisting of a portion of the 19th bat talion of the Chasseurs-eepied (Commandant Caubert), of the 2d Zouaves (Colonel Saurin), and of the 4th Regiment of Marines (Lieutenant-Colonel Cendrecourt), occupied our trenches of Careening-bay. This column was charged to attack tho works of the 27th of February. "On the left of De Lavarande's brigade was the 2d brigade of Mayran's division, under the orders of General De Failly, consisting of the remainder of the 19th bat talion of Chasseurs-e-pied, of the 95th of the line (Colonel Danner), and 'of the let battalion of the 97th. This column was to storm the work of the 22d of February. " The Dulac division formed the reserve of these two attacks. The first brigade of this division, under the orders of General de Saint Pol, was to take up a position in the parallels of Careening-bay after the attack of the first two columns; and the 2d brigade of the same division, com manded by General Bisson, formed the second reserve. "Moreover, the - 2d battalion of the 97th of the line, a battalion of the 61st, under the command of Lieu tenant-Colonel Larrouy d'Orion, of elle 97th, had been con centrated in the ravine of Careening-bay to tura the ene my, and to•cut off his retreat after storming the Ouvrages Blanes. "In the centre the operations were entrusted to General Camou. The first brigade of his division, under the orders of General de Wimpffen, occupied the parallels of the Ma lakhoff sour ; to the right the Algerian Rifles (Colonel Rose) ; in the centre the 50th of the Line (Colonel do Brancion) ; to the left the 3fl Zouaves (Colonel Polhes). " The 2d brigade of the Camon division, commanded by General Verge, was in r serve in the ravine of Carabel naia, ready to take the place of the Ist brigade in the pa rallels. " The Division Brunet, under the orders of its chief, was also stationed in the Carabelnaia ravine, to act as a second reserve. "Two battalions of the Imperial Guard, one of Grena diers the other of Gendarmes, were placed at the dispotal of General Camou for the attack.§ " This ensemble was completed by the Turkish division of Osman Pasha, which the Generalissimo Omar Priebe had detached from his army on the Tchernaya, and which took up a position on the Inkerman heights. "At half-past six o'clock Lord Raglan was at the Eng lish observatory. I myself proceeded to the trench in fro, t of the Victoria redoubt, whence, as agreed upon with his lordship, I sent up rockets as the signal for the attack. General Bosquet, who was at the battery next to the Lan caster Battery, had just received his last reports. Every thing was ready ; the troops were burning with ardour, and perfectly confident of success. "As the first rocket went up, the Lavarande Brigade, headed by its general, rushed forth from the second paral lel of Careening-bay, and at a running charge, carried the works'of the 27th of February. Despite the fire of grape and musketry it had to face during the 209 yards it had , to cross, and which caused considerable loss, the column penetrated into the battery by the embrasures and breaches. A hand-to-band struggle ensued on every point ; a num- ' ber of the defenders were killed on the spot, and we were soon masters of the intrenchment. " At the same signal and with the same imnetnosity,De Failly's brigade rushed upon the work of the 22d of Feb. The distance is double, the ground to cross more difficult, with a murderous flank fire from the other work ; nothing stops this gallant brigade. It arrives in a dense body at the battery, scales the parapet under a rolling fire, and, jumping into the work, overcomesthe desperate resistance of the enemy. " Driven back on these two points, and hotly pressed by our men, the Russians fly in disorder, some towards a little battery constructed since the 2d of May to defend the entrance to the Careening-bay ravine, some towards the bridge crossing the bay by which the ravine debouches into the groat port of Sebastopol. "Some of our men, carried away by the pursuit of the enemy, seize upon the battery of the 2d of May and spike the guns. As this battery, however, is 500 metres beyond the work of the 22d of February, the most distant from our lines, and placed under the double protection of the works of the enceinte and of the forts to the north of the roadstead, it is impossible to think of occupying it as yet. ' "General Mayran, perceiving a Russian column advanc ing to retake the batt n-y of the 2d of May, ordered his men to charge with fixed bayonets, drove b ack the column into the town, and took 60 prisoners, including three officers. He rallied his advanced troops and led them back to the works of the 22c1 and of the 27th of February, which re main definitively in our hands. " Meantime the two battalions conceetrated in the ravine of Careening-bay, under the orders of Lieut.-Col. Larrouy d'Orion, were anything but idle. Descending the ravine at the moment the attack was taking place on the ridge, they pushed on as far as the aqueduct bridge, climbed up ' the right bank, and cut off the retreat of the enemy driven from the first two works. This movement, exe crated with as much vigour as skill, and which procured us 400 prisoners, including 12 officers, does the !highest credit to Lieutenant-Colonel Larrouy d'Orion, and deserves that I should particularly recommend that officer to your Excellency. " While this was taking piece on the side of Careening bay the battle was waging with still more exciting inci dents around the Mamelon Vert. "At the same signal of rockets from the Victoria re- Joubt General de Wimpffen, with his brigade, left the trenches which, on our side, encompass the base of the Mamelon Vort—that is to say, of the place d'armes on the left, and of the 3d Victoria parallel. " Three columns rush forward at once on the enemy's works, and carry by storm two advanced cuttings and in termediary ambuscades. A fire of grape from the redoubt, the combined fire of the great Redan and of the batteries to the left of the Malakhoff Tower, does not imre le their advance. "To the right, Colonel Rose, at the head of the Algerian Rifles, carries a battery of four guns annexed to the re doubt. " Colonel de Brancion, in the centre with the 50th, and Colonel de Polhes on the left, with the 3d Zonives, reso lutely attack the redoubt itself, throw themselves into the trench, scale the parapet, and cut down the Russian artil lerymen at their guns. " Colonel de Brancion, who had the honour of being the first to plant his eagle 'on the redoubt, fell in this attack under the grape of the enemy, gloriously enwrapped in his triumph. "Strict orders had been issued not to go beyond the gorge of the works, and to form at once a lodgment against i the fire and attacks from the town. "But, carried away by their ardour, our soldiers pursued the Russians into the ditch of the Malakhoff battery, 400 metres beyond the redoubt, and tried to enter the enceinte with them. The natural consequence was that they were obliged to fall back under tile violent point-blank fire of the enemy's reserves that manned the ramparts. The two wings of the French line threw themselves back, while the besiegers sent out a powerful column of fresh troops to attack our centre. " The redoubt of the Mamolon Vert could not, as yet, offer any shelter, The fire had either blows up a mine laid by the enemy, or a powder magazine, which had seriously scorched Commandant Tixier, of the 3d Chasseurs-a-pied, and a number of men. Planks, beams, and burning ropes gave rise to fears of another explosion. The interior of the work was not tenable. Instead of supporting itself on the redoubt, our lines crossed the summit and forms a semicir cle round the Mamelon. "There was not a moment to be lost. General Camou ordered General Verge to leave the trenches ; General Bosquet ordered the sth division to advance, which was immediately obeyed by General Brandt. " The movement of this division was imposing ; the Ist brigade, commanded by Colonel Duprat de la Roquette, of the 100th of the line, occupied the parallels behind the Mamelon, and the 2d brigade, under the orders of G enera l Lafent de Villiers, advanced the left in the r ear un d er cover of some rising ground. "The Verge Brigade formed in columns at the same mo ment under the enemy's fire, and, with the drums beating the charge, ascended the hill, and reinforced General Wimp ffen's brigade. The position was carried and the enemy driven back a second time into the town; we were defini tively masters of the Mamelon Vert, which our troops triumphantly occupied, amid shouts, enthusiastically re peated, of " Vive l'Empereur." "It was half-past 7 o'clock, and dusk was coming on; as I had foreseen, we had established ourselves in the con quered positions at the moment that darkness would allow our engineers to commence operations to consolidate our selves there. " These works were directed by General Frossard, with Chef de Bataillon Cbareton, of the Engineers, as com mander of the attack on the Careening-bay side, and De Preserville on • the Mamelon Vert. These works, executed during the night with great intrepidity, intelligence, and remarkable coolness, were solidly constructed by daylight, and enabled us from that moment to resist every attack of the enemy. " All assaulting columns were accompanied by brigades of Sappers, commanded by Engineer officers. These de tachments all fought valiantly. Captain de la Boissiere, of the Engineers, was seriously wounded, as, one of the first, he scaled the parapet of the work of the 27th of February, The artillery, which plays so important a part in this siege, contributed in a great measure to the day's success. As soon as the assaulting columns had started the aim of all the batteries of the Careening-bay side and of the Vic toria parallel was changed and turned against the body of the place. During the night a great number of the batte ries were restored. " Moreover, six detachments, consistingeach ners, commanded by captains of artillery, marched with the first battalions of the columns to turn the guns of the works taken against the enemy, an d to ascertain what work was necessary. All these operations were carried out under the immediate direction of Lieut.-Colonel do La Boussiniere, whose devotion and activity are beyond prai2e A .

Under the old law it was clear the executors took it unless it was shown from the will that it was disposed. of, Out the new law had made a considerable alteration upon the subject. In the present case the testator had given a legacy of 201. each to the wives of the two executors, and it was :argued stpon the part of the plaintiff that these legacies must be looked upon as legacies to the executors themielves, and that therefore they were entitled to nothing else, and that the plaintiff, as the personal representative of the testator, ought to hare the benefit of the residue undis posed of. The testator died in 1813, andthe suit claiming the undisposed of residue was not instituted till 1854. The executors had, therefore, been in the uninterrupted possession of the residue that was undisposed of for nearly 30 years, and it was rather too much to say that that possession should now be disturbed. His Honour must, therefore, treat the legacies given to the wives of . the executors as legacies really given to those ladies, av i d not to their husbands, and, such being his opinio.A, he must decline making any decree, and order the b' .I 1 to be dismissed, but withmit costs. Wily' ARE ROCKETS NOT USED AGAINST THE RUSSIANS?.! (From the Liverpool A Ibion.) T E' S ABBATARIANS. • The comparative non-employme n t in the present struggle of an instrument of aggression as potent as the rocket has excited considerable surprise among those acquainted with its powers, and with the results of the use made of them in former wars. The prejudice which the late Duke of Wellington entertained against rockets, founded, it is believed, on. no better objection than the unsatisfactory result of the first experiments in the Peninsula, is the only reason we have been able to dis cover for the neglect they have experienced in more re ' cent times. The Duke's prejudice did not prevent their doing good service even in the last war, in those instances in which they were .employed. They were used in the attack on Boulogne, when the town was observed to be on fire half an hour after the first rocket had been dis charged, and the extent of the devastation committed by their agency was very considerable. In the following year they were used with great effect in the attack on Copenhagen, and subsequently at the battle of Leipsic, where they made frightful havoc in the ranks of the enemy. Rockets, indeed, possess advantages, as wea pons of offence, which, no other projectil es can ay claim to. Not the least of these is the absence of any recoil— s peculiarity which i.s a consequebce of the principle on which they are made, and which enables them to be fired from a small boat ; while shells, if used in naval attacks, can be fired only from large and strong ships, owing to the force of the recoil. Rockets require neither cannon nor enortars to project them, since they carry their propulsive power within ; and, consequently, can not only be made of much larger dimensions than any available shot or shell, but can be fired from places altogether inaccessible to artillery. To these great ad vantages may be added, visibility of flight, and the power of scattering the devastating effsets of fire where ever they terminate their hissing course. Tee most re cent occasions, we believe, on which these terrible agents of destruction were fully brought into requ'sition_ was when the squadron of Sir Charles liothain, in e -injunc tion with a French naval f 'roe under Captain (now Admiral) Trehouart, in 1846, destroyed the supposed impregnable batteries of Rosas at Punta Obligado, or rather San Lorenzo, dominating the river Parana from an immense elevation. Sir Charles, than whom there is no more gallant or skilful officer in the service, on the outbreak of hostilities with Russia, was understood to be a candidate for a command in the Black Sea; but the appointment sought being given to Sir E. Lyons, the gallant admiral who had recently returned from his eminently successful mission to Paraguay, received that of Governor of Victoria. Had he obtained a naval command, he would probably have repeated the effect at Sebastopol, and more especially perhaps at Odessa, of the projectiles he found of such incalculable service in the actions referred to; of which a very spirited account will be found in the interesting work on Brazil, the River Plate, and Falkland Islands (Longman), by Mr. Hadfield, who is now at Constantinople, as agent for the Liverpool Underwriters and Manager of the Com mercial Transport Corps in the East. Mr. Hadfield's au thorities for the daring exploits he records, including the picking off of Roses' menfrom their guns as theyswarmed. out on the ramparts, without their being able to return one effective shot, are Sir W. Gore Ouseley, our able Am bassador in the Plate at the time, at whose instance the expedition was undertaken, and Captain Makinnon, who directed the whole operations of the rocket brigade. As there is a rather remarkable analogy between the fortresses of the redoubtable tyrant on the Parana and of the Crimean stronghold of the Czar, as regards their positions, and the manner of defence, and also as to the attack upon them being made by the two great Western Allies now assailing Sebastopol, the account referred to will be read with considerable interest at the present moment, when every suggestion tending to the discom fiture of Russia is of the first importance. The banks of the Parana at San Lorenzo are excessively lofty, so much so that it was impossible to bring the guns of the British and French steamers to bear on the powerful battery which Rosas had constructed there, whilst the vessels were fully exposed to its fire in passing down the river, on their return, after having forced the three strong chains placed across the current, and destroyed the ten fire-ships at Obligardo. The great height of the almost perpendicular banks made the position apparently as difficult of attack by a naval force as even the north forts of Sebastopol would be, where the altitude of the citadel, according to Sir Howard Douglas, and according, also, to the more recent Corroboration of Mr. Denby Sey mour, M.P., renders it unassailable by heavy metal from the sea. But the fire of round shot, grape, and musketry which Roses opened on the steamers as they came off the point crowned by his battery was speedily silenced by a small rocket-brigade, most unexpectedly operating from a little island in the river. The combined squadrons escaped with a very trifling damage, and the rocket-brigade did not lose a single man; whilst the loss to the Argentine army was very great. Mr. Hadfield ascended the Parana as high as Corrientes, and was thus enabled to estimate the difficulties which were so successfully overcome. Judging of the effect of rockets, as tested by such a comparatively small battery as was brought into opera tion at San Lorenzo, what might not be achieved by their agency elsewhere now ? Only six tubes were used, the fire from which was equal in rapidity to acontinuous discharge from the guns of two 80-gun ships, throwing at one period of the attack forty rockets per minute. So rapidly, indeed, and with such terrific effect, were the hissing missiles projected among the soldiers of Rosas that, as already stated, they were unable to stand to their guns, and were much cut up, flying into the open country in the rear, though a cordon of Guachos, the Cossacks of South America, were employed to pre vent the retreat of the infantry ; but the horses became perfectly unmanageable under the rocket fire—a power ful consideration considering the Russian strength in cavalry. since then rockets have been much improved, their aim rendered more certain, and the " back fire " diminished. They are now, in fact, as destructive and as easily controlled as the Paixans guns, with which the Russians wrought such murderous results at Sinope. But the employment of these some of our French and English artillery authorities (Sir Howard Douglas among the number) condemn as being too devastating for use among Christian or civilised nations. We be lieve that the affair at Petropaulovski has been the occa sion of some remarks being addressed to the Home Government by Sir C. Hotham, from Melbourne, calling attention to the desirability of having recourse to rockets in the southern seas, and citing his own experi ence in the Parana as to their extreme efficiency against an enemy who are confessedly strong in artillery, as was Roses in 1845-6. Hyde Park ocPSZdathy7 between profession an d tributive w r as int th es e °l sc t e h e n i o d f a a y. Zreat act of r e . justice. The rough good sense of the community P r actice. Some way or another, it b se on s ne s t h s o was perceived th a t it could not be right that a Bishop should roll about on a S un d ay i n his chariot and pair; tlemen and finer l a di es s h ould make a mall in Hyde-park for that fine gen othf Parisianesake art displaying anduld dr rem ess ai e n s, t o h p e e m n, arv an ela d th at c ltt b fine -horses Mivart's and Thomas's not closed, while poor men were de nounced as sacrilegious wretches if they permitted themselves upon that day to indalge in the luxury of a penny shave, to purchase a pennyworth of milk, or a stale half - quarters loaf, or a pound of mutton trimmings, or a pint of questionable beer. If these poor chairmen were in the wrong, certain] the lordly Pharisees could scarcely be in the right. It wa y s difficult indeed for a poor customer who might be excluded from his own peculiar markets to feel that there was not some confusion of ideas existing .in the minds of his superiors, as he watched the stream of rosy boys, with flannel aprons, issuing upon the Sabbath m orning from the half-closed doors of the fashionable fishmongors, with trays upon their heads, or under their arms, as the case might be, well filled with placid turbots, beautiful even in death, contrasting vividly with the bright hues of the ruddy lobsters, which were destined to adorn the graceful close of their uneventful careers ; with whiting which, after life's fitful fever, awaited the sacrificial bread-crumb with their tails in their innocent mouths, with soles in pairs, and red-mullet in their costly simplicity. Nor was the fishmonger's boy the only Sabbath-breaker in the cause of Lucullu'. Behind him followed the greengrocer's familiar imp, laden with the spoils of early spring, or rather of spring imposed by the art of the horticulturist upon our wintry Juno. Surely it must strike as somewhat strange upon a mind unimbued with the niceties of Parliamentary theology that sins incurred for the satisfac tion of the epicure were venial, while the culinary transgres sions of the poor man, who, in his most Apician flight, never soarel anon the wings of fancy beyond a Sunday shoulder of mutton, resting upon an iron triangle, immersed in savoury potatoes, were to be visited with the severest indignation of every " well-regulated mind." If you set about it in the right manner you may ride human nature pretty hard. As long as the stomach is filled, and the back not too ragged, it is possible to persuade one's fellow-creatures to acquiesce to a certain extent in your own superfluities, but a limit must be drawn somewhere. The contrast must not be too vivid nor too startling. The fact is, this Sunday Trading Bill of Lord Robert Gros venor in its present form won't do. It means either too much or too little. We fully grant that it is most highly desirable that any kind of traffic during the hours consecrated to Di vine service upon each returning Sunday should be absolutely prohibited to the rich as well as the poor—to the poor as well as to the rich. The public opinion of the country will sup port a prohibition of this kind. In point of fact, as far as our own sphere of observation has extended—and we know something of London—we should be inclined to say that dur ing the hours consecrated to so righteous an end little or no traffic actually takes place. There may, for aught we know, be a Thieves' Bazaar in one remote quarter of the town—say in Houncladitch ; and an unseemly damaged-vegetable Rialto in the purlieus of the Commercial-road ; but, substantially, throughout London there is no traffic during the hours of Divine service. If such exists it is easy enough to put it down, but when we go one step further than this we at once stumble upon the difficulties of class legislation. With all duo respect for Lords Ebrington and Robert Grosvenor, and for other magnates of the Sabbatarian movement, we doubt their power of compelling observance of the Sabbath by the more opulent classes. Sumptuary laws were found to be a failure 250 years ago, and there is not much probability that they can be revived in our own time. If, then, it be im possible, as we believe it to be, to put an end to Sun day entertainments among the rich, to shut up the clubs, to stop all save strictly necessary traffic along the streets on the Sunday, of what avail is it to commence a crusade against the sparse enjoyments and. little comforts of the poor? If the law can have universal application, and If public opinion sanction it, it is well. Nothing could be more sublime than the spectacle of a community such as is com prised in the England of the 19th'eentury which should really, with one heart and one mind,"give up one day in seven, in good portion, to holy thoughts and earnest prayer, and the rest to innocent enjoyment and relaxation. All men of serious minds, who look a little beyond the present hour, are agreed upon the end, but differ sadly as to the means. Some oven are bold enough to say the end in view .can never be reached by a legislative thunderclap. If the object is to be attained at all, we must look to the usual agencies of enlight enment and education. The England of 1855 presents a most favourable contrast to the England of 1755. If this country continues to progress durinr the next fifty years as during the first halfof the present century, there is every reason to hope that among the middle and lower classes the Sunday will be observed in a manner which would satisfy any one, save a hypocrite or a fanatic. Whether the upper classes will have ceased to give Sunday dinner parties, to take their carriages to church, and their pastime in the Park, is really more than we would venture to say. Last night Mr. Otway, relying, no doubt, upon the support of Hyde-park, asked Lord Palmerston if he did not intend to take some steps to induce the great author of the Sunday Trading Bill to withdraw his measure from the further consideration of the house. The bill has, we believe, passed through com mittee, and stands now for its third reading. Mr. Otway's question was received with general cheering, and of this cir cumstance Lord Palmerston, with his usual tact, took advan tage. "If my noble friend," says he, " hears that cheer, he will: attend to it." We sinc ere ly trust the First Minister may have interpreted aright the feelings and views of his " noble friend," for such a measure of organised hypocrisy as his can only be attended with evil consequences. The grand result of the Sunday Trading Bill will simply be, that half-a million of hungry, unshaved, discontented people will, with the most perfect propriety, occupy their leisure hours every Sunday in groaning and hooting at the more opulent trans gressors of the law which they are compelled to observe. If Lord Ebrington objects to shaving himself, he should have forbearance for the opposite opinion. If Lord Robert Grosve nor desires to see the Sabbath duly observed, let him not pro voke the people to riot by making one Sabbath for the rich and another for the poor. (Prom the Morning Advertiser of this day.) Our countrymen are attached to their ancient institutions. Their nobility is one of them, and it has not the full share of the popular admiration and affection which it possessed during the French Revolutions at the latter end of the past century. The change has been effected partly by the monopoly of Go vernment, and places of honour and emolument, by a portion of that illustrious body, and partly from transferring to the whole the faults of individuals. Too little sympathy has been shown to the middle and lower classes, to either of whom the higher are but as a grain of sand on the sea-shore. If the nobility lose the prestige of public opinion, it is impos sible for it to survive in an institutional character, belonging to i.nd upheld by the nation. The demonstration on Sunday in Hyde-park can be compared to nothing but the meetings of the exasperated Parisians, on hearing of the proceedings at the ill-timed banquet of the Garde du Corps at Versailles, on the memorable first of October, 1759, which proceedings, more than all provocations put together, incensed the French against the nobility, and led to the suppression of the privi leged orders without exception. Napoleon I. created a nobi lity, and some of the old body returned under the Bourbons, but neither were regarded by the nation with any degree of favour. The atrocious murder committed by the Due de Praslin, of whom we wish to believe that he was insane, re vived the old contempt and animosity, which were not allayed by his suicidal evasion from justice, with the supposed com plicity of Louis Philippe. Tho prestige was gone, and pro.. bably for ever, and every revolutionary movement of the people has aimed at the establishment of a republic. CRYSTAL PALM:M.—The directors of the company have been engaged for some time in arranging faci lities for the visits of schools and benevolent societies, and they have finally agreed upon a reduced scale of charges. For any number of excursionists over 250, and under 500, the charge for conveyance by railway and ad mission to the Palace is to be 15d. ; over 500, and under 750, it will be 14d. ; over 750, and under 1,000, to be 13d. ; and over 1,000, one shilling per head. The re gulatiops apply only to the ordinary shilling days and third-class carriages ; children are to 'be admitted at half the above rates. , A mistake seems to gain ground in England. The sins of a more handful of titled families, who can command from half-a-dozen to nine, ten, or a dozen electoral constituencies, which enable them to engross all place and power in. the State, are transferred to all, and the whole aristocracy is in danger of suffering for a few worthless and incompetent per sons. Nor are the people alone to be blamed for this egre. gious last Government seei the pains that were,tak e n, not only by the, but the present, composed of the v ery same men whom the nation expelled with the deepmt dis grace, to drag in the aristocracy, as a foil against the indig nant complaints which were evoked by the cold-blooded sacrifice of a largo army, to doltish formalities, and an as tounding amount of stolid ignorance of very simple matters of business. Lord Palmerston particularly distin ' hed him self-in this illiberal way of shielding himself and colleagues from public !censure, for he was the very first to draw the eyes of the people upon the aristocracy as a body, when he lavished his fulsome praises upon it, as an answer to Mr. Layard's charges of neglect, ignorance, and other phases of incompetence, against the Ministers who were the authors of our dreadful calamities in the Crimea. - Legislature, have no sympathy An impression has been widely prevalent, for some time, that the higher classes, and particularly those who are in the , brethren. The consequence of the injudicious display made by the Garde with their less fortunate du Corps, in the theatre of Versailles proves that there is danger in promoting this feeling ; and the mani festation of Sunday cannot fail to have penetrated into thou sands of hea r t s w hi ch have hitherto been slightly affected. Before wealthy useful classes of and y?n us ng an n d oblemen begin to l es in the metropolis. m ri least to make some in. and their position.

We say , again, placing attempting to legislate, where, in good truth, they have , no legitimate legitimate right. Acts of Parliament have no more power hthemselves in a false, and it may be, to crake Churchgoers than faggots to make them mass wor shippers. A little plain common sense will be a gciod prepara tory medicine for a crisis of political disorder, which seems to be approaching, but which may be everted by ceasing to irritate the puNie rola.
