you raight West of Europe by succeeding nations; and lastly, about the dawn of history, and at various epochs afterwards, the other great tides poured in, i.e. Pelasgic, Teutonic, and Selavonic; My present business is, however, with the mother tongue, and I have only alluded to the great family of other lan guages to show the birth, grow th, and kindred of our own. The large map of Europe before you, whi c h I h ave coloured " glosso-graphically, ' shows you the present localities of the Indo-European languages. The Indian and Medo-Persian branches belong to Asia; and I have made Scandinavian a distinct division. The table beside the map contains five columns, ono for each great stem, with its languages and dialects ranged below. It is to the second, the Teutonic or Germanic (and to the Frisian Variety thereof) that English must be traced, though it has borrox ;red largely from the Graeco-Roman stem, and a little from other languages. Its kindred are the ancient Meese- Gothic., Anglo-Saxon and Icelandic. with modern German, Dutch, Danish, and Swedish. The growth of the English tongue may be best shown by this diagram, divided into nineteen equal parts representing centuries. The white portion at the head stands for the Celtic, once the only language in the island. The small dotted lines indicate the Roman element, blending with the Celtic for nearly 400 years, and then disappearing. From A.D. 450, you will observe the inroad and steady growth of the Saxon (marked by stars), till all Southern Britain except 'ales, Cumberland, and Cornwall loses its Celtic. The Danes too made frequent raids (from 800 to 1066), leaving a decided impress on some of the provincial dialects. In 1066 came Norman French, which prevailed in the palace, the castle, the courts of law, and even the grammar schools, Saxon holding its own as the speech of the people of the landf and Latin being the language of the Church and of literary men. For two hundred years the work of mingling went on, till at last the Teutonic, richer in itself, and also the speech of the majority, overcame the French of the Normans ; and in the 13th century, English, Which had all along existed under an Anglo-Saxon garb, took something like its present shape, though very far from possessing its modern richness, flexibility, and Power. During the next two hundred years it had gathered strength enough to furnish the prose of Wycliffe and the Poetry of Chaucer. From Queen Elizabeth to Queen Anne, or rather from Shakespeare to Addison, English may be regarded as substantially the language of our own day; though many words have become wholly or entirely obso lete, and thousands of new ones have been introduced. We hare thus a completely formed, if not absolutely stereotyped language —one rarely inferior to the classical tongues, often their equal, and occasionally their superior —one which abundantly justifies the well-known eulogium of Grimm, The English tongue possesses a veritable power of ex pression such as perhaps never stood at the command of any other language of man." I have hitherto spoken of literary English, the language of books and of the educated classes. All members of the middle and upper ranks speak English, though it may be in some instances with imperfect grammar, or with marked provincial accent. But I must now invite you to notice another kind of English, vernacular or dialectic, besides the other languages still spoken in these islands, though totally distinct from English. This map of Great Britain and Ire land, Coloured on the same plan as that of Europe, will make this evident. The portion south of a line drawn from the Mersey to the Humber represents the region of English Proper (Mercian, as distinguished from Dano-English), ts nine 'dialects the nearly unmixed legacies of our Saxon forefathers. From the North of Derbyshire to the Scottish border we have Dano-Saxon or Northumbrian with eti dialects, Saxon in most of its roots, but strongly tingedd with Danish, and slightly with Celtic. Between Car- Norse Glasgow, Border Scotch prevails, a mixture of , Dano-Saxon, and Celtic, the last a feeble remnant of trathclyde and Cumbria. The whole east of Scotland repre lints the Lowland Scotch, i.e., Saxon with a stronger infu -1(:41 of Norse, the latter once the sol e s p eec h o f th e O r k neys 4 Q Shetlands. In Ireland, English is the language of the mi taority, being found chiefly in Ulster and on the eastern coast. Isla x, under the various names of . Erse, Gaelic, Welsh,.. and . ;`.ax, is daily used by nearly six millions in the British 'Winds. The Armorican or Cornish perished last century; and the Cumbrian, the language of a kingdom once ex tending from the Mersey to the Clyde, died out long ago, at a date unknown. Prom this rapid sketch you will easily infer that literary E nglish is not th e s p eec h o f th e grea t mass o f t h e peop l e. Deduct six millions of Celts and fifteen millions using pro- Vincial dialects, and there remains barely a third part of our Population able to understand the language of books and of the educated classes. Tho table I now exhibit shows the proportion of Anglo- Saxon in written English. The Bible of 1611 has 97 per cent. of Anglo-Saxon, Shakespeare 85, and even Gibbon, our most Latinised w r ite r , 55. The inference is obvious. And if the genius of our tongue is Teutonic in writing, it is still more so in speaking. The lower we de scend in society, the more the Saxon element prevails, till amen.. the peasantry, Latin word s " o f l earne d l engt h and thundering sound" are practically " an unknown tongue." Whoever, then wishes to find his wa y i n t o th e h ea d s and hearts o f Englishmen, I mean not merely the tillers of the ground, but the masses of the p eo pl e , mus t c l ot h e his thoughts not in the elegant phraseology and elaborate Periods of Roman origin, but in that clear, strong, glowing n.Pecch fi rs t b roug h t to our shores by the fair-haired I,9llowers of Hengist and Horsa. I trust, however, that shall not be misunderstood in thus contending for a greater use of Saxon. English as it now exists is a com- Posite language, in which, while Saxon has undoubtedly the largest s h are , L a ti n, G ree k , an d other tongues play no tu ne parts, and serve as vehicles of ideas, for whose e;Pression unaided Saxon can furnish no suitable terms. •nal. exclusive use of Saxon derivatives is therefore, P r acticable. E v en Even those purists who contend for the Sa xon element, employ a full proportion of Latin or French terms in the very sentences in which they plead Ins t earnestly for the Germanic words I It i s qu it e t rue that justice has not hitherto been done in our schools and colleges to our old English tongue, but the ends of justice are never promoted by overstating the merits of a case. The reader can scarcely judge by mere detached Passages, such as the foregoing, of the general ex ellence and siundjudgmentby which Mr.D'Orsey's lecture is marked from the beginning to the end ; but we trust we have said enough in its favour to induce the public, but especially educators and pro. fessional 'volum e and men generally, to read Al. D'Orsey's little own conclusions. We are much mistaken if th conclusi ons will not be the same as those come ose to by M. D'O rsey himself, and in which we do not hesitate to express our hearty concurrence. TILE COMET. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Bnl,--The present comet app ears t o me t o ex hibit some peculiarities which I have not seen hitherto noticed ; and I think it right to describe Th era, so that my observations may be either con firmed or found erroneous before that body disap- Pears from the earth. The tail, on Sunday evening, seemed slightly c urved in th e di rect i on of the comet's motion—that 18 , outwards towards the left of the observer; and la this it agreed with the general rule which was 60 well illustrated by the comet of '5B ; but since then it has become curved the other way, and has, In fact, more than one curve, as I shall describe below. Last night the tail increased in breadth to a place a little beyond a line between Gamma of the Lesser, and Eta of the Great Bear. Here the great breadth ceased ; but the right side oC the tail Was prolonged in what might be called a hetero cereal fashion, like a narrow beam, for 60 degrees farther to the limits of Ophiucus. The length of the first curve was about the same as the distance between the stars Alpha and Beta of Ursa Major. here there was an indent, or short curve inwards, and then, again, a long outward curve, very slight, but, I think, plainly perceptible, to the end. The border of the tail was sharply defined on the right only, which was in accordance with the general rule relating to the direction of curvature ; but the curvature itself, as I have already stated, thEfered from the usual direction indicated by the motion of the comet. If my observations are correct, they must show that the curving of a comet's tail, and its superior definition on one side, must be attributed to some other cause besides the motion, or at least the direct Motion, of the body. Mr. Hind, in his letter appearing in the 7smes 'lf thi s day, alludes to the probability of the earth's hav ing passed through the tail of the comet in the Course of last Sunday, and suggests that the bright "67B of the northern heavens in the evening of that t d ay may be attributed to the proximity of come aary matter. This brightness was very evident, : a i n my first communication I called it " the Phenomenon twilight of summer," believing it to be a el l° ll lenon which I am accustomed to see at this time ti ,,_. of the year in two degrees, or so, of more northern latitude.—l remain, Sir, your obedient se rvant, JOHN BIRMINGHAM.

During the past week there has been rather more activity in the progress of business in the textile manufacturing districts. At Leeds the operations for the winter trade have commenced, and prices generally are well sustained. At Manchester the demand for the home markets has slightly in creased, while at Bradford, Leicester, Nottingham, and Rochdale, symptoms of returning animation have been apparent. In the hardware manufactur ing localities, however, viz., at Birmingham, Shef field, and Wolverhampton, there has been no change of importance, business generally having been exceedingly flat in all departments. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday there was a steady demand, and the sales amounted to 12,000 bales, 3,000 of which were for export and on speculation at former prices. About £36,000 in gold was taken into the Bank on Saturday. The Asia which left for New York on Saturday carried £109,650 in specie. A large amount of business is still transacted in the discount market, notwithstanding the inactivity of trade, and the rates, although not higher, exhibit considerable firmness on the part of the banks and discount houses. The large exports of gold still operate unfavourably, by diminishing the available supplies, and of inducing capitalists to proceed with greater reserve. The enquiry for advances upon stock has slightly abated, but full terms are still enforced. The market for English Stocks has been very quiet to-day, speculation having been restricted, but the quotations have been rather heavy, Consols being 894 f for money and the 10th, and 89Z- 90 for the August settlement. The New 3 per Cents. remain firm at 89 to 894, and the Reduced Annui ties realise 89 ; the 30 years' annuities are 154 ; India 5 per Cent. Loan, 98 4 f; and June Exchequer Bills, ss. to ls. discount. In the Foreign Stock Market the chief deal ings have been in Turkish Bonds, which have slightly improved. The Old 6 per Cents. realise 764 to 774 ; and the Loan of 1858, 614 to 624; Portuguese remained steady at 464 ; Buenos Ayres Deferred at 271; and Mexican Stock has improved to 221, In the Railway Share Market the dealings have been on a rather limited scale, prices however have in most instances been well maintained. Brightens, North British, and Midlands, have advanced 65., while North-Westerns have declined ss. The Foreign and Colonial lines have shown little change of importance. Northern of France ad vanced to 371, and San Paolo brought 2 ; and Grand Trunk of Canada remained at 19; India Steam Flotilla at 91, and Cape Town and Dock at 111.

THREE O'CLOCK. Consols, Money B9l Ditto Account B9l a CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day) The July sessions of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, Recorder, Sheriffs, and the other civic functionaries. The business is heavy, as there are already no fewer than 105 prisoners for trial, namely, 80 men and 25 women, and a great many of the cases are of a very serious character, and must necessarily occupy a con siderable time. The trial of Durden and Hol croft, the prisoners who, it will be remembered, were tried at the June session upon two indictments for robbing the Commercial Bank of London, in which establishment the first-named prisoner was employed in a confidential capacity, of a large sum of money, nearly £70,000, and which resulted in his being con victed and sentenced to 14 years' penal servitude, and the acquittal of Holcroft, will again come on. It is understood that two more indictments will be proceeded with against these parties, one in which they will both be included, and the other a separate charge against Holcroft ; and it has been arranged that Mr. Baron Bramwell, who tried the former cases last session, shall come down specially on the Tuesday of the session, instead of Wednesday, in order to dispose of the remaining indictments. Among other serious charges which will have to be disposed of this session is the one against three men named Strug nell, Quitter, and Liney, for the outrageous assault and attempt to murder the servant girl at Islington. There is only one charge o f wilful murder, in which a woman named P a l e th orre i s accuse d o f killi ng h e r child by poison; and there appears to be at present only one case of manslaughter, arising out of a drunken quarrel. Among the remaining cases is the charge of forgery against a clergyman of the Church of England, which creates a good deal of interest, and there are several serious cases of cutting and wounding. The Grand Jury, having been charged by the Recorder, retired to their room to commence their duty. CHARGE OF INDECENT ASSAULT. A respectably-dressed man, named Peter Daly, was in dicted for indecently assaulting Sally Hodgson. The prosecutrix stated that the prisoner entered her shop in Eagle•terrace, Victoria- docks, and, after having pur chased a cigar, made improper overtures to her, and ulti mately indecently assaulted her. She, however, on one occasion expressed some doubt about the identity of the prisoner. The jury returned a verdict of not guilty, and the pri soner was immediately discharged. EMBEZZLEMENT. Ernest Brown, formerly a clerk in a firm in Throgmor ton-street, City, was indicted for em.bezzling certain money, the property of his employer. It will be recollected that the prisoner absconded, and was captured by Spittal at Port Natal. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said the prisoner had for years held a confidential situation, and during the whole of that time it appeared he must have been robbing his employer, as hit , depredations had amounted to the large sum of £lO,OOl He then sentenced the prisoner to ten years' penal servitude.

CORN EXCHANGE. The supply of wheat from Essex and Kent to this morn ing's market was much restricted. For all good and fine samples there was a steady demand, and last Monday's cur rency was well supported. Inferior samples, however, met a dull inquiry, but without leading to any quotable change in prices, compared with this day se'nnight. There was an extensive show of samples of foreign wheat. Generally speaking, purchases were made with considerable caution, and the amount of business transacted was limited, nevertheless prices were maintained. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request at full quotations. All kinds of barley met a dull inquiry at barely sta t fonary currencies. For good and fine malt there was a moderate demand at quite previous rates ; but inferior samples were much neglected. With oats wo were extensively supplied—the bulk of the large importation being of inferior qualtiy, sales progressed slowly at a decline of Gd per quarter. Really sound corn, however, maintained its value. Beans moved off heavily at barely late rates; and peas with difficulty realised late quotations. Very few samples of English were on offer. The transactions in flour were very moderate. In prices, however, there is no change to report. In most of the country markets held on Saturday there was an improved feeling in the demand for wheat, and, in several instances, prices advanced is per quarter. All descriptions of spring corn, howevoi, met a dull inquiry at barely stationary currencies. The flour trade was tolerably firm. On the Continent very little change has taken place in the value of produce ; but the advices at hand from the United States report groat heaviness in both wheat and flour, at reduced quotations. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, last week, were limited. From abroad, we received 32,627 quarters of wheat, 6,870 barley, 46,951 oats, 25 rye, 4,040 beans, 5,056 peas, 556 tares, 772 linseed, 6,474 maize, 2,588 sacks, and 20,615 barrels of flour.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL There was a full average supply of foreign stock on offer hero to-day, in, for the most part, somewhat improved con dition. Sales progressed slowly on easier terms. - - From our own grazing districts the supply of beasts fresh up this morning were on the increase, and the general qua lity of the stock was prime. The Lincolnshire season has opened remarkably well as to quality. Although the at tendance of buyers was tolerably good, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d per 81bs. A few prime Scots sold at ss, but the general top figure was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,000 Scots, &c. ; from Lincolnshire 500 short-horns ; from other parts of England 500 various breeds; from Scotland 550 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland 98 oxen and heifers. With sheep we were fairly supplied as to number, but their general condition was inferior when compared with several previous weeks. Prime Downs and half-breds were in fair request at full prices. Other breeds were a heavy sale at 2d per 81bs. less money. The best old Downs sold at 5s 4d per 81bs. _ _ We were well supplied with lambs, which moved off slowly at Thursday's decline in value. Calves—the supply of which was good—moved off heavily at last week's decline in value. In pigs very little was doing at last week's currency. Per Slb, to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. , s. d. s. d.

JUDICIAL COMMITTEE OF THE PRIVY COUN CIL-(THIS DAY). - - Present—The Archbishop of York, Sir John Coleridge, the Lord Justice Knight Bruce, and the Lord Justice Turner. THE REV. MR. BONWELL V. THE LORD BISHOP OF LONDON. This long-pending and celebrated case came Lefore the judges of the Privy Council on appeal by the Rev. James Bonwell, incumbent of St. Philip, Stopney, against the judgment and sentence of deprivation pronounced by Dr. Lushington, Dean of Arches, for conduct unbecoming a clergyman, and calculated to bring scandal on the Church in connection with his intimacy with Miss Elizabeth Yoreth, and her giving birth to an illegitimate child in the school room attached to the church, in the month of July or August, 1859. The Rev. Mr. Bonwell appeared in person and conducted his own case unaided by counsel. The Queen's Advocate, Sir John Harding and Dr. Tristram appeared for the Bishop of London. Mr. Bonwell, in opening the appeal, said before going into the facts and ground of his appeal, he had to com plain of the reports that had appeared in the newspapers, and which had been calculated to create great prejudice in the case in connecting him with the burial of the child in a secret manner in the Tower Hamlets Cemetery by Mr. Ayes, the undertaker. The fact was that he knew nothing of the fact until he saw the statement in the new spapers, that the child had been placed in the coffin and buried with an aged female. The fact was the Bishop of London re ceived an anonymous letter on the subject, which was placed in the hands of two detectives, who called upon him and he gave them all the information he knew, which led to an order of the Secretary of State for the disinterment of the body, and an inquiry into the cause of death instituted, and at which inquiry no mention was made of him (Ms. Benwell). After some further remarks he proceeded with the main grounds of his appeal, and concluded his address by sub mitting to the committee that he was justified in contend ing that the proceedings against him were irregular, and therefore illegal, and ought to be set aside and his appeal allowed. The case was pro ceeding when we went to press. COURT OF PROBATE AND DIVORCE. (Before Sir C. Cresswell and a Common Jury.) RADFORD V. RADFORD. This was a petition of Francis Radford, a builder of No. 3, Camden-villas, Camden-town, praying for a judicial separation from his wife on the ground of adultery. The respondent denied the allegations of the petitioner, recri minated the charge of cruelty, and also pleaded condonation. Mr. Hawkins, Q.C., Dr. Tristram, and Mr. Inderwick were for the petitioner ; and Mr. Sergeant Shee and Dr. Spinks for the respondent. From the opening statement of counsel, it appeared that the parties lived at Camden-town and Westhourne-grove for several years, and there were four children issue of the marriage. According to his statement the conduct of the respondent was very violent during the whole time, but at her request he forgave her, and they resumed cohabitation until their final separation. Mr. Radford, the petitioner, said that the marriage took place at St. Pancras, on the 24th of August, 1845. He started in business for himself about seven years ago, and prior to that year he had been in partnership with his bro ther. His wife's language to him was most violent and abusive, and she was in the habit of spitting at him, and on one occasion she locked him up in his bed-room. She ab stracted some of his manuscripts. Kept a diary, and the memoranda produced were in his handwriting. One day while he was at dinner she gave him a violent blow on the head. On another occasion her conduct was so violent that ho refused to sup with her. He remembered in the year 1855 her rushing down stairs in liar night . dress and her scratching his face and pulling his hair. She had also on another night kicked him in bed and pulled off the bed clothes. In the early part of January, 1855, she requested him to forgive her, and he consented to do so. In the February of 1856, she jumped eut of bed and pulled him by the hair. She used to go to where his brother lived under the impression that he was there and pull the window and doors down as well as everything else which she could lay her hands on. She had said that there were thieves in the family, and there would soon be a murderer, and he understood she said she would murder him. On the same occasion she said that she would not put up with such a - scoundrel as ho was. In August, 1859, he re membered her being very abusive, and his desiring her to leave the room, and plaoing his hand on her shoulder, he insisted on her going out of the room. She then seized him by the hair, which she pulled violently. He did not recol lect whether he slept with her that night. The next morn ing he felt very unwell, and found that she had pulled a quantity of hair out of his head. She continued this vio lence until the 7th of April, 1860, when he ordered her out of the house, and she said she would not go. He did not sleep with her subsequently. He denied most positively that he had ever given her a black eye or struck her with a broom. In the year 1857 he was laid up with congestion of the brain, which he was satisfied was produced by her violence. When provoked by her ho admitted that he had called her a strumpet, but he did not use that term in the sense of any imputation on his wife's character. On those occasions when he slept apart from his wife it was in con sequence of some previous violence on her part. Several witnesses were called, who deposed to the peti tioner's kindness towards his wife, and to her violence. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. EXTRAORDINARY CASE OF ANNOYING ♦ TRADES MAN.—Mrs. Sarah Humphreys, a well-dressed female, who gave the address 11, St. Martin's-court, was charged with annoying Mr. Henry Wilson, bonnet-maker, of 20, Ryder's-court, und9r the following circumstances : Mr. Wilson said that, some few days ago, the defendant brought a bonnet to his shop, and wanted the materials it was made of put on another shape, and the shape to be white. It was found impossible to do that, and the aefondant objected to the bonnet when it was finished. Being informed that she was coming to the shop on Saturday evening to create a disturbance he removed the bonnet from the window. She, however, came, got a crowd of 200 persons round his shop, and made a rush at the stock in the window, knooking everything about, and he was then obliged to give her into custody. If you (said Mr. Wilson) will only look at the bonnet you will see it's properly made, if your worship is any judge of bonnets. (Laughter.) Mr. Tyrwhitt.—l am not a judge of bonnets, and don't want to see it. (Laughter.) It is I suppose made in the true Parisian style. The prosecutor here exhibited the bonnet amidst laughter. Mr. Tyrwhitt—l think the best thing the defendant condo is to pay for the bonnet, put it on, and walk away. The defendant here put on the bonnet amidst loud laughter. Mrs. Humphreys, at last agreeing to pay for the bonnet, did so and left the court, though evidently far from being satisfied. THAMES. A DRUNKEN AND DISORDERLY WOMAN IN ST. GEORGE'S CHURCH.—Mary Ann Gating, a married wo man, about 45 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with being drunk and disorderly in the church of St. George-in-the-East yesterday afternoon. Robert Franklin, a police-constable, No. 480 K, stated that yesterday afternoon, while Divine Service was being celebrated in the church of St. George-in-the-East, he was called upon by the churchwardens to remove the prisoner, and was informed that she had been making a great dis turbance in the church, and interrupted the service. The prisoner was put into the vestry-room by the officers of the church. He found her there, and the churchwardens said they did not want to charge her with any offence, but wish ed her to be removed. He then led her out of the church, and upon reaching the gates in Cannon street Road she be came very noisy and disorderly. He procured assistance, and the prisoner was locked up. The prisoner said she was very sorry for what she had done. Mr. Selfe—What do you say to being tipsy, and going to church yesterday in that state. The prisoner —I only took a little brandy yesterday morning. Mr. Selfe—That and the sultry state of the weather made you tipsy yesterday. Is this woman known? Frankland—She is a respectable married woman, sir. Mr. Selfe—A respectable married woman is she, and she gets tipsy on Sunday, and goes into a church in that state. The prisoner—l have kept two shops in the Commercial road, and now live at No. 2, Berners's-street, St. George's. Mr. Selfe—That don't make you respectable, where did you get that cut face ? The prisoner—l fell over a pail and cut my face on Sa turday. Mr. Selfe—You were drunk then most probably. Don't be drinking brandy on Sunday morning again, and go about your business. Who prisonor was then discharged. ei 431 I Share! _Railways. ( Paid I Closing Business Price. I Done. Blythe and Tyne 10 per, c. pref. (issued at .£s l ' (iris. & Exet.4 p.ct.stock Do. do. do.

GALWAY HARBOUR. On the motion that the Galway Harbour Bill e read a second time, The Marquis of CLANRICARDE said the bill was in substance to enable the commissioners of the Galway Har bour to raise a sum of money, the interest of which might be paid by means of a rate not exceeding one penny in the pound, to be levied on the whole county. The assent of the ratepayers of the county had been given to the bill before the subsidy of the Govern ment to the Mail Packet Company had been with drawn, and therefore it could not be said that the ratepayers had given their consent to the measure being proceeded with in the altered state of affairs. He thought that, under all the circumstances, the measure ought to be withdrawn. The Earl of CLANCARTI strongly objected to the bill. He wished their lordships would reject it altogether in pre ference to allowing it to be withdrawn. The measure was then withdrawn. THIRD READINGS. The Hemsworth Estates, South Staffordshire Railway, Londonderry and Lough Swilly Railway, and Airdale Drainage Bills were read a third time and passed. FIRST READINGS. The Industrial Schools (Scotland), and the Inclemurs Bills were read a first time. SUBDIVISION OF BENEFICES BILL. Lord LYTTELTON said as the bill now stood it was open to him or any noble lord to move that it be proceeded with, but as far as he was concerned he should not take any steps towards doing so during the present session— neither did he feel disposed to bring the subject under the consideration of their lordships again. EDUCATION. The NOBLE LORD then proceeded to ask the President of the Council whether the Government intended to pro pose any measure in Parliament, or to issue any minutes of the Committee of Privy Council on Education, in pur suance of the report of the Education Commissioners. [LEFT SPEARING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(THIS EVENING.) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS.

Some petitions were presented from Dublin for the re storation of the Galway subsidy, for opening the Museum and other public institutions on Sundays, for the suppres sion of Sunday trading in intoxicating liquors, for amend ing the laws relating to the removal of the poor, &c. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS (IRELAND). Mr. DAWSON asked the hon. member for Thingarvan whether it was his intention to move the second reading of the Industrial School (Ireland) Bill this day; and if not, whether he would state his future intentions with respect to that bill. Mr. MAGUIRE said that ho did not propose to proceed with the Industrie Schools (Ireland) Bill, but that it was his intention to reintroduce it next session. [On the mo tion of the hon. and learned gentleman later in th• evening the:order for the second reading of the bill was discharged.] the house not to repeat a mistake similar to what had been done in respect to the Houses of Parliament. In that case they selected an Italian architect to build a Gothic building, and now it was proposed to select a Gothic architect for an Italian building. He concluded by expressing a hope that the plan of Mr. Scott would be submitted to a select committee before it was decided on by the house. (Hear, hear.) Mr.'TITE eulogised the style of the Palladian architec ture and the plan of Mr. Scott. [LEFT SPEAKING.] THE CASE OF REBECCA KEARNEY. Mr. HENNESSY asked the Lord Advocate if he had ascertained whether, in the compulsory removal of Rebecca Kearney from Glasgow to Ireland, the several proceedings required by law were duly fulfilled ?. The LORD ADVOCATE said that he had received a report of the proceedings in this case, and he believed that they were quite regular, but they would be laid on the table. THE FOREIGN OFFICE. Lord ELCIIO moved that, in the opinion of this house, it is not desirable that the new Foreign-office should be erected according to the Palladian design now exhibited in a committee room of the house. The noble lord said that the plan of this office was to all intents and purposes the design of the Prime Minister. He said that it had been decided that this office should be open to European com petition, and 200 plans were sent in. A committee was appointed to make a selection, and premiums were awarded to seven of these designs. The noble lord then proceeded to relate the subsequent proceedings in reference to the subject until the adoptiee of the Palladian plan by Mr. Scott, who consented to be draughtsman of the Prime Minister, who had a horror of Gothic architecture. Ho had referred to the debate that had taken place on this question, and ho did not think they were conclusive in favour of the adoption of the Palladian or Italian design. It had been asserted by the hon. member for Bath (Mr. Tite) that Gothic architecture gave only a minimum of con venience at the maximum of cost. No doubt that was true, but it arose from the abuse of Gothic architecture. The hon. i member had also said that the new office should harmonise ho nse with the genus loci, but what w as meant by that did not clearly understand. The hon. gentleman said the office should harmonise with Montague .house, but though that might bo a pretty building he believed it was not so popular as to induce the public to wish the Foreign office to be in harmony with that edifice. The noble lord at the head of her Majesty's Government d escribed the Gothic architecture as being inapplicable to a public office, which should be gay and airy outside and light inside. With respect to light, it could be proved that it would give all the light that was required. The Gothic style of architecture afforded facilities for introducing consi derable variety—the brick which abounded in this country could be used for it with effect. Having referred to the failures in the materials of which the houses of Parliament were constructed, as well as to Buckingham Palace and the Bank of England, ho adverted to the buildings on the Continent, and drew a comparison between them and these in this country, favourable to the former. He called on the house not to sanction the proposal of the noble lord (Lord Palmerston.) Mr. C. BUXTON seconded the motion, and said that he did not want to disparage the talent of Mr. Scott, but the fact was that that gentleman's genius lay in gothic architecture, and he highly approved of his Gothic design. He thought if Mr. Scott was to be the architect, he should be allowed to select the style of archi tecture for which his genius was suited. It had been said that Gothic architecture was not unsuited to secular build ' ings, and that it did afford sufficient light. That defect, he contended, arose from the adoption of imperfect Gothic designs, and the plan in that style of Mr. Scott was entirely free from these defects. Ho called on the noble lord (Lord Palmerston) to sacrifice generously his own pre dilections, and consult the taste of the rising instead of the setting generation. Mr. COWPER denied that the feeling of the public was in favour of the Gothic as contrasted with the Italian style of architecture. He founded that opinion on the statements of persons competent to judge on this subject, and they were in favour of Mr. Scott's Italian design, which they considered by far the best that had been submitted to competition. It was a proof of Mr. Scott's tee- genius that he had been so successful in a style of architec ture _ ture different to that in which he had previou sl y ex c elt ) was not, as had been alleged, that the plan was drawn excelled. It in conformity with tho directions of his noble friend at the head of the Government, but in accordancewithwht someathad been considered public opinion. He proceeded at length to vindicate the selection of the Italian style. Ho contended that if the Foreign-office surrounding in d i t n h g e Italian style it would harmonise avernment offices, and ce with was e t v h s e n buildings, including the other would realise from that harmony an effect which could not be produced by a structure wh ch, different in style , must be tested merely by its own intrinsic merit, and without an y reference to congruity. (Hear, hear.) Mr. LAYARD said it must excite surprise that, in the 19th century, so little prog ress was made in this country - in the science of archite cture. He thought that the archi tecture which was required in the present day was that which would admit most light and air. (Hear, hear.) He contended that the Gothic architecture supplied these desiderata. Ho strongly objected to th e Palladian style as being mean bat he did not mean to:attri bute any blame to Mr. Scott, who had acquired hi s fame in another department, and should not be selected for a style in which ho had acquired no distinction. lie strongly denounced the adherence to monotony in public b u ildi n gs, and referred to Paris as an ill ustration of the disagreeable effect of that monotony. H e to o k occasion to observe that the style of public buildings inthcatowdowthc7 political condition of a peopl e , and he at once have recognised in. Paris a Government of despotism. (Oh, oh.) Hon. members might dissent, but ho had seen an instance of what he asserted, for while he was passing up the Rue Rivoli, he saw the whole of the street scaffolded, and on making inquiry found that the Government had ordered the tenants to scratch their outtaiclo. (Laughter,) Ho calicti on 'PORTING NOTES. Next year the Carlisle meeting will take place the same week as Newcastle, which will add greatly to its success, and prevent its clashing with the Newmarket and Worcester races. The principal events at Carlisle on the first day were the Cumberland Plate and her Majesty's Plate. Prince of Denmark and Joey Jones (the winner of the Northumber land Plate) were made equal favourites at 2 to 1 for the former, but the race never was in doubt, and Mr. Barber's horse won in a canter. Underhand was the favourite for her Majesty's Plate, which ho appeared to be winning so easily opposite the Stand that one gentleman offered 100 to 5 on him when leading about half a length, but within about 50 yards of the chair he "savaged" Lord Zetland's horse, and John Osborne seizing the opportunity, landed Bivouac the winner by a head l The Lottery Stake on the second day brought out the largest field of the meeting, and Interest won easily, Underhand meet ing with a disappointment by running over a post at the last turn, which sent him down on his head. The Trial Stakes, at Worcester, formerly a handicap, ob tained a very poor entry, and requires no mention here beyond the extraordinary hollow affair it turned out for Conqueror. Considerable disappointment was also ex pressed when the telegraph board displayed two runners only—Billy Dwindles and Kildonan—for the Croome Stakes, whilst the easy defeat of Mr. Parr's colt came like a thunderclap on those who cared not to watch the market operations at the close. In the Fifty Sovs. Plate, which succeeded, Curlew easily disposed of the moderate lot op posed to him, after a waiting race. The order of running first published having been reversed on the claim of Mr. Cartwright overnight, placed the Worcestershire Stakes just one hour later than usual, namely, at 4.30. Eleven sported silk, Fairwater and Von Stroona being at one time nearly equal favourites. As will be seen from our details of the race, the mare won easily, but the concluding scene will not soon be forgotten. Through running inside a flag, Von Stroom obtained a tremendous lead, but at rather more than half a mile from home his opponents got on better terms with him, and the riders of Fairwater and Jesuit having observed the mistake, shouted to Jim Snowden to stop his horse. This Snowden asserts was impossible, as he pulled so hard. Consequently on came Von Stroom with a clear lead to the upper end of the enclosure, when he was " brought to" by a palpable pull, whereby Fairwater slipped in an easy winner. The row that ensued beggars description. On his way to the saddling paddock Snowden was assailed by groans and hisses on all sides, blows were dealt at him, and eventually a rush was made to pull him out of the saddle. The police and a few friends, however, surrounded and carried the boy to the weighing-room, whence it was found advisable to remove him to the reporter's private apartment. Snowden protested that it was all the result of accident, and when asked why he had not ridden on to the end, de clarod that he scarcely knew what he was doing, having, in fact, quite "lost his head." Another statement he made was to the effect that, at the spot where he went wrong, some parties had placed additional posts since he had can tered round that morning. This is wholly untrue, as was proved by an immediate examination of the ground. Hav ing admitted the mistake, no investigation was gone into before the stewards, who, however, ordered Snowden to be suspended during the meeting. The excitement coded down when the public became acquainted with the parti culars of the case, and Snowden roamed at large unmo lested half an hour afterwards. There are some who be lieve Von Stroom would have walked in, but there are also good judges who hold that, with a straight-run race, it would have been a very near thing between him and Fair water. It is due to the owner of Von Stroom to mention that he backed his horse, and that the ring evinced pretty general sympathy with him in having a missed a tolerably good stake. The second money was duly claimed at the scale, and awarded to Waterford. The day's sport con cluded with the City Plate, which Diadem, not supported for a shilling, carried off cleverly. The meeting at Liverpool, this week, extends over three days. For the Trial Stakes Hesper appears the most favourably weighted, and with a start I shall trust to her alone. In the Bentinck Handicap Sir William looks the most dan gerous, but, as he may be reserved for Goodwood, I shall trust to one of Col. Towneley's; either Yorkminster or Doefoct. The Lancashire Produce Stakes has a splendid entry of 49, upon seven of which death has laid its heavy hand—a rather startling mortality, being a seventh of the whole. A large majority of those nominated are " dark," conse quently a considerable field may be expected to reach the starting-post ; but, as we have recently seen both the Derby Stakes and Chesterfield cut into nothing, it may be no better hero. Costa has a penalty of 51b., but from the easy manner he cut down those opposed to him in the Chesterfield last week, I again anticipate his success on this occasion. Wed nesday, the Cup day, has with that event four others in tho list, only ono of which remains unclosed. Tho Cup has a poor acceptance, only 25 having remained in of the 68 en tared. Slingsby will be the representative of the White wall stable, and from his light weight ho ought to be very forward at the finish. Ivanhoff with all his weight will ho hard to beat. For the Brewer I have no fancy. Feodo rowna has had a thorough preparation, and will be ridden by Grimshaw. Doefoot, Yorkminster, Weatherwitch, General Hesse, Heiress, Russley, and:Flash-in-the-Pan ,are well in but I anticipate the winner will be either FEODOROWNA OR IVANHOFF, with HEIRESS for a cockboat. The Mersey Stakes are a certainty for Buckstone. The events to be decided on Thursday are entirely de pendent on previous running. July 8. A FRESII MAN. BETTING AT MA.NCIIESTER.—SATunDAY. There was not a great amount of business done, and often under such circumstances it is most difficult to make out correct quotations, so that if commissions sent cannot be executed at the prices quoted the fault is not ours, but must be attributed to that practical humour which enables its possessor quietly to ascertain that the supporters of par ticular animals are not present. Then "most ruinous odds," are offered (we can only say they were offered, &c.), and there we presume our duty begins and ends. To-day Ivan hoff, Heiress, and Feodorowna were backed for the Liver pool Cup at the prices quoted, and for the Goodwood Stakes Shipwreck, Schism, and Starko; and although West End and Canary are at long shots, they were supported as freely as anything in the race.
