moral tale of the Dean of Badajos, or a page of Athenteus on cups, or Eustathius on Homer." Nu merous anecdotes are given in illustration of this faculty, as well as many others showing the rever ence in which his name and opinion were held by the learned men of the clay. Other tales there are of his private habits, less pleasant to dwell on, tell ing of his consuming a whole bottle of spirits of wine in mistake for gin, of breakfasting with a lady and taking six pots of porter, and similar tales. His love of late hours was well known and dreaded among his friends, who would lay plans to get rid of him at a reasonable time. Once Horne Tooke invited him, knowing that he had been up all the night before. This, however, made no difference ; Parson set up the second night until sunrise. Truly as his biographer observes, " Great as were Porson's deviations from the even tenor of sobriety, great as were his disagreements with the social habits of the generality of mankind, great also must have been his merit, which with such aberrations and eccen tricities, secured him not only the praise but the regard of all men of learning and intellect that had intercourse with him. Whoever knew Richard Porson felt that he knew a man of high and noble mind, who, with all his irregularities, and all his inclination to sarcasm and jest, had a sincere love of truth and honesty, and who, with an utter contempt for pretence and presumption was ever ready to do justice to genuine worth." Mr. Watson has compiled a most interesting volume, interesting to the general reader of cultivated taste, as well•as to the scholar, wholcan better appreciate the classic portion. The life of so celebrated a man deserves to be written as a testimony to the greatness of his intellectual faculties, though the sentiment of the reader who rises from its perusal must be a double regret—that the first Grecian scholar of his age should have left so little tangible proof of his pre eminence, and that this honest and high-minded man should have added another:tothe:mournfal list of those whose mental faculties have failed to coun terbalance their moral weakness. The United Service Commences with an article on " The Recruiting of the Army," in which the writer maintains that among other causes which militate against the credit of the service is the frequency of desertions. He remarks that, at the present moment, our mili tary prisons are filled with deserters, and that con siderable numbers are at large throughout the country ; that the crime is thought nothing of, all being more or less tainted with it ; and the chief cause of this misfortune is the system of bounties, which induces men to enlisefor the sake of it alone, and then to desert in order to obtain another bounty elsewhere. The chapter "Armour v. Armament," takes a fair view of this perplexing subject. It is maintained that, practically, a vessel like the War rior will be able to do an enormous amount of mischief to any dockyard before it sustains any serious injury from a battery, no matter how armed, one thousand yards off. Major Claudius Shaw furnishes a sketch of the soldier of fifty years ago compared with the soldier of our own day. The history of the American Civil War (from cur New York correspondent) is continued from last month. One of the articles in this number is a consideration of " Belligerent Rights at Sea," in which the author gives a clear history of the different regulations which have governed the rights of neutrals, &c., from the earliest times. He shows that unless the right of search be permitted the laws relating to contraband fall to the ground. THE RIGHT OF SEARCH. " Vattel in support of this said—' It is not possible to prevent the transport of contraband goods, if the neutral vessels met at sea are not visited, as we are entitled to visit them ; and a neutral vessel refusing to suffer to be searched, would be condemned on that single ground alone as a good prize.' "The duty of self-preservation gives to belligerent nations this right, which is founded upon necessity, and is exclu sively a war right, which does not rightfully exist in time of peace, unless conceded by treaty. " The right of search has been strongly contravened by the Americans, particularly in reference to the African slave trade; and it is to be hoped that President Lincoln will take the opportunity of removing the obstructions which still prevail to some extent to the cruisers employed on the coast of Africa, and in the West Indies. The 4 inter visitation of ships at sea,' which is only right of search under another name, is practised by the public vessels of all nations, including those of the United States, when the character of a vessel is suspected to be piratical. The right of visit, as distinct from the right of search, has been termed by the supreme court of the United States, The right of approach for that purpose,' and it is considered to be well warranted by the principles of public law, and the usages of nations. This right is, of course, to be exercised, not without sufficient apparent cause. The mere exercise of it involves the cruiser in no trespass, for it is strictly lawful; but if he proceeds to capture the vessel, and there . is no probable cause, he is responsible." "Anglo-Indian Society," part 2, by Sylbank, is the amusing history of an East Indian marriage of a young lieutenant and beauty of sixteen, in which all the peculiarities of such a ceremony as conducted in India are described. R. C. Allen Master, R.N., gives some good advice from his own experience, and that of other practical navigators, on the influences which govern sternway. The composition and discipline of the Army of Denmark are in their turn given. 'We have already had that of Austria, &c., &c. The view taken on the subject of the French oc cupation of Syria is sensible ; all the sympathy has been for the so-called Christians and none for the Druses, both are equally in the wrong and per haps more than either, the Government,lwhich could not maintain order ; but if it be necessary to hang a certain number of individuals as an example let us be just, and take an equal number from both sides. The depot system, editor's portfolio, and the usual naval and military information for the month con cludes the number. Macmillan's Magazine. This magazine contains a treatise on Represen tative Government, by Mr. Mills. " The Falcon among the Fulmer, or Six Hours at St. Kilda," by John E. Morgan, M.A., Oxon, is an interesting account of a visit paid by the author to the western most of the Hebrides, but beyond his own short experience he has collected the history of the little island and its primitive and industrious inhabitants from every available source. Living among tre mendous precipices and lofty crags, their principal occupation being the collection of fulmars (a species of petrel almost peculiar to St. Kilda) and other birds for support, it is natural that the islanders should consider that dexterity and courage in climbing the 'rocks, the highest perfection to which a man can aspire, and the best cragsman may expect the handsomest beauty of the island for his -wife. They think as little of hanging by a cord held by a com panion some five hundred feet above, with heaving waves beneath, as „'a bricklayer's labourer does of running up a ladder. The young men have a curious Way of seeking favour among the fair sex, or of softening the heartof some particularly obdurate beauty. THE LOVER'S STONE. " The deseription of this marriage naturally leads me to Make a few remarks upon the famous lover's stone,' which may be Mill seen, situated towards the south, at no great distance from the village. The origin of this name it will be necessary to explain. In the early ages of this little commonwealth, when lovers were more diffident than in the times in which w e li ve , i t was held a highly commendable thing in a you ng asp i rant for an island belle, to lay at her feet, not, as in some of our English counties, his pedigree and rent -roll, but some undoubted proof of courage and ad dress. With this view he assembled his friends—probably also the young , lady hersel f —around th e i nner margin of the 6 lover's stone, the outshot cornice of a frowning precipice. With dauntless step he then advanced, and firmly planted his left heel upon its edge, the sole of the foot remaining wholly unsupported. He then extended his right leg be yond the left, and firmly grasped the foot between his hands. In this position he continued sufficiently long to impress upon his spectators the conviction that a ' fair lady' would in him gain no faint heart.' Had Newton been present at this performance, he would have learned that, though the force of gravitation might cause an apple to fall from a tree, a lover can still cling to a stone—gravity yielding to love, as the stronger force of attraction. That the exploit I have been describing is not so simple as it appears, the reader will understand by ascending the Duke of York's column, getting outside the railing, and trying it for him self. After this heroic deed, writes Martin, the adven turous youth is accounted worthy of the finest woman in the world.' He adds, that one of the islanders strongly urged him to attempt the feat ; ' but I told him that it would have quite the contrary effect upon me, robbing me of my life and mistress at the same moment.' Thrice simple youth, thrice happy innocence, which would fain read in the breast of a canny factor the impassioned ardour of thine ow a 1" "Ravenshoe" is continued. It contains several episodes of interest which still further complicates the plot. Marston proposes to Mary, who with grief rejects him, having, alas ! given her heart to the man who loves an ther, who in the end will break with him ; for the se'ifish character ofAdelaide will induce her to throw Charles over when his good fortunes desert him. Lord Welter arrives at Ravenshoe to the disgust of Cuthbert and many others. Ellen elopes ro one knows where, and nobody knows why. Charles, in company with Welter, v isits Banford and is graciously received by Lady Harnadlt, but is mortified to find that Adelaide is away on a visit to Lady Ascot, at least so he is told, but in reality she had run away there for Protection. He, however, follows and has an in- I b erview. "Thoughts on Beauty and Art," by the 410 v. T. Barnes, contains—Thoughts on the Defini tion of Beauty, Beauty of Form and Proportion, beauty of Colour,Landscape, What is Unfitting, and Art True and False. "Tom Brown at Oxford" relates how Captain East and Harry Winburn return in triumph to Eaglcbourne ; how Patty, having sur rendered to the gallant sergeant, the wedding-day is fixed, and the happy pair united. E as t pro- V°ses to go to New Zealand, and Tom thinks of Joining him. Under the head " Indian Cities," we have a description of Lucknow. There is a paper on " The Oxford, Cambridge, and Dubin Mission to Central Africa, and News of the Mission of Dr. Livingstone," and, of course, an article on " The American Crisis." Baily's Sporting Magazine. This magazine has a portrait and biography of the Earl of Stradford as a continuation of sporting celebrities. " The Gentleman in Black " contri butes his experiences of the beauties (not those to be found in the palace but in the paddocks) of Hampton Court. He relates that within forty minutes of Waterloo Bridge are to be seen six and twenty beautiful paddocks of smile two, three, and four acres, occupied by the very best blood in the world. Part No. 4 of Wild Life contains interesting exneriences of Californian life and of encounters with the grizzly bear. Fierce and dangerous as he is, however, the value of his skin tempts the western hunter to seek him. The f o ll ow i ng s k e t c h of one of these primitive half-civilized individuals will give some idea that the bear meets more than his match sometimes with Western hunters— THE HUMAN AND GRIZZLY BEARS. One evening, when we were sitting yarning at a store, a giant western hunter stalked into the room, and having called for his partic u l ar van it y, an d swallowed it at a gulp, he fixed a new plug and began to whittle carelessly. Some one observed to him that his hands and clothes were covered with blood, to which he coolly replied, `Val now I Yes I deu calculate they air; and if you'd bad the same tall fight with an almighty big bar, it mout ha' been the colour of your blood we'd see, old hose, instead of thn bar's.' I you've got the paws in your pockets for supper, of course,' said another, who doubted him. No, I har'nt, 'coon,' replied the hunter ; but if you'll come teu hum. I'll cook them, and you may have the skin ten for fifty dollars ; and darned fine fur it is. Waugh But tell us where it is,' was the general inquiry. The old hunter, who was picking his teeth with his bowie-knife at the time, just withdrew it, and stabbed the air in the direction of the door, and then alternately amused himself with his ivories and the piece of wood he was whittling. We went out to see, and sure enough at his saddle-bow hung one of the largest and finest skins I had ever seen. And this man had fought him single-handed, and by night, too, skinned him, and carried off the trophy, without more ado than if he had shot a 'coon, or worried a buck-rat. But there are many instances of persons being killed when coming on a bear unawares. In the case related the bear had no doubt been severely, if not mortally, wounded by the hunter's rifle before the contest commenced, and he was able to despatch it with hiss knife without much danger. In the following case, however, the bear had all the advantages— THE BEAR AND THE BLACK. A very dreadful occurrence took place - whilst I was at these diggings. A splendid athletic necmo, full six feet two inches tall, and of amazing stren g th,' was at work here. One morning he went to a favourite spring in the forest for some clear water, armed only with a bowie knife; when passing carelessly along, a she-bear rose at him and he had only time to draw hi s k n if e an d th row u p his arms, when sho closed. With one hapd he seized her throat in his giant grasp ; held her at arm's length, and with his right hand plunged his knife again and again in her side ; but the bear was mangling him horribly all the time, yet he never loosened his hold or relaxed his knife-thrusts, and so they fought on in dreadful conflict, the beast tearing off his flesh, and the man standing nobly to the fight, until both sank from loss of blood, and struggled on the ground for bare life ; the bear's blood was welling from her wounds and soddening the grass where they lay, making ' the green, one red.' The negro finding the bear growing feeble, and himself faint, exerted his remaining str en gth, and struck home his knife into her vitals ; then relinquish ing his throat:llold for the first time, he rolled over to escape her claws in her desperate death-throes. His cries for help had attracted some diggers working near, who arrived when it was over, and found the negro dying and the bear dead; and her two small spiteful cubs sitting amazed at their dead dam. The man still breathed, and, tearing off their shirts, the diggers bound up his wounds : placing him on a litter made of branches, they conveyed him to camp, where he was attended by a digger doctor : and for the moment he rallied, so well, indeed, as to give us briefly this account; but he gradually sank away, and in two days more we buried him on the hill side : a crowd of diggers followed, and we laid him down amongst others who had passed away in the wilderness, and set a cross over him, though he was certainly a black, and most likely not even a Christian. Peace be to his ashes ; he was a brave man. There is a good notice of M. du Chaillu's work on Equatorial Africa and the hero of the season, the Gorilla. Followed by Hints on Horsemanship, by Colonel George Greenwood ; a paper on Dog Shows, and the general sporting intelligence. Reutledge's Illistrated Natural History. By the Rev. T. G. Wood, M.A. Part 28. The extensive family of Parrots and Cockatoos, occupy a considerable portion of this number. The mode in which the cockatoos are captured in Aus tralia by the natives with a curious weapon peculiar to that cuntry, the boomerang is described by Captain Grey in an interesting manner. The no less remarkable family of Woodpeckers, follows ; these extraordinary birds, called by the Americans the Carpenter bird, from the extensive excavations made by them in the dead wood of trees in search of the grubs and insects which infest and destroy the timber. Their services are invaluable in preserv ing trees which would otherwise perish. The Rain bird, Cuckoo, Cowbird, andsome varieties of pigeons, are also described with the ability which has hitherto characterised this work. MISCELLANEOUS. In the Owlet " Events past and passing" are con tinued, followed by strictures upon the education of public schools. " Falconfels is also continued. Under the head of " Conventional Ethics" some cutting hits are made at the follies of the present day. It is mentioned that vulgarity is the sin to be avoided at any cost. You may fail in every other respect, but you must be genteel. In fact, gentility may do what it likes so long as it ignores all that is vulgar. Gentility may dine where it likes on Sunday, but vulgarity must fetch its dinner away from the baker before half-past one o'clock, or go without dinner. "Masks and their Wearers" are also good; the writer shows that although nearly all men wear masks that the wearers may be divided into two classes, the one wear masks of folly and fashion, which, being removed, show truth, honesty, and virtue; but, on the other hand, the mask of charity and religion when removed reveals vice the more hideous from its veil of hypocrisy. " Fire arms and their Predecessors—Part No. 2" contains some amusing details of the long bow of our forefathers.—The Welcome Guest contains the continuation of "My Golden Skeleton," as also of " Lady Lysle.' Gustave Armand's tale of an Indian scout maintain —its interests such interest as peculiarly belongs to Indian life, all peril and escape ' • there are also many interesting stories and useful in formation to be met with. .Newton's _London Journal of Arts and Sciences contains articles on various scientific and mechanical subjects, among which may be noticed one on Legislative inter ference with manufacturing industry. The plates in Le Follet are well executed as usual. Knight's Cyclopcedia of Arts and Sciences has reached the twenty-ninth part, and is nearing its com pletion. The greater portion of this part is devoted to the all-important subject of tele graphs, which are considered in all forms, electric and otherwise.—ln Duj'y's Hibernian lagazine the tale of the "Double Prophecy" reaches its tenth chapter. We have, among other matter, an amus ing little tale entitled "Tom Dun's Corner." Good Words do not belie its name, containing much moral instruction in the stories related. This is the true way to impart a religious feeling.—Cassell's Illus trated _Family Bible relates to the end of Deuter onomy and the Book of Joshua. Among the illus trations we may call attention to the one in which Moses is delivering the law into the hands of the priests, and " Joshua commanding the sun to stand still." GRAIN IMPORTATIONS. The statistics of our grain im;ortations since the beginning of th e year show the remarkable harvest e x m t e u n s t at t to which the fail ure o f l ast have been underrat e d, while year'ste sameti e me the comparative ease with whi c h they have b paid for demonstrates how intrinsically slight m e us n t have been the effect of the American crisis in disturbing our commerce or causing pressure in our money market. It may be estimated that from the Ist of January to the present time we have disbursed about £20,000,000f0r wheat,flour, and other foreign grain, against a total of little more than £5,000,000 in the corresponding period of 1860, and when it is borne in mind that in the same interval we have supplied India with a direct loan of £3,000,000, and that the national expenditure has been on the highest scale, the fact that the stock of bullion in the Bank of England, even accord ing to the unfavourable statement published last evening, is still exactly equal to the average amount held in the month of January will appear no less striking than satisfactory. It is evident, indeed, that but for the drain for public works in India, which has now been kept up for so many years, the discount market would probably have been free from extraordinary pressure. Next to the total quantity and value of our grain imposts the question of most importance is as to the proportion in which these supplies have been furnished to us from the respective countries of the world. In this respect the chief change has, of course, been in the quantities from America and France. The Stade dues are at an end at last. Govern ment has received intimation that these obstructions to commerce, which have engaged the attention of so many Parliaments, and engrossed the labours of successive Ad ministratisns are at last about to cease. No more dues will be levied after the Ist of July next. THE CHARGE OF FRAUD AT MANCHESTER.-011 Saturday, before the Manchester city magistrates, the de positions of witnesses were taken in support of the charge against Francis Atkin, of obtaining 3,000 pieces of calico under false pretences; ani the prisoner was committed for trial at the sessions, )3ail was refused.

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were very moderately supplied with wheat, yet the trade generally was in a sluggish state, and prices had a downward ten dency. In the value of spring corn no material change took place. The flour trade was dull. On the the Continent the transactions in all kinds of produce for export have been much restricted, at about previous rates. In the United States, however, a fair busi ness is doing at full prices. Limited supplies of English produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 26,301 quarters of wheat, 5,141 barley, 104,335 oats, 90,256 beans, 7,281 peas, 1,503 tares, 17,265 linsoed, 7,020 rapeseed, 6,190 maize, 160 sundry, 2,493 sacks, and 27,932 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English grain to this morning's market were on a very limited scale, and, for the most part, the quality of the samples was but middling. Fine samples were disposed of at prices about equal to those realised on this day se'nni,ght ; but all medium and inferior kinds were a dull inquiry, and the quotations gave way is to 2s per quarter. The show of foreign wheat was large. Generally speak ing, prices were fairly supported, but where sales were pressed is per quarter less money was in most instances accepted. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a limited extent, yet there is no material change to notice in their value. All kinds of barley moved off slowly. The quotations, however, although in some instances rather drooping, ruled about stationary. The transactions in malt were very moderate, at previous rates. Owing to the large importations the oat trade was very dull, and prices declined Gd to is per quarter. Beans were a slow sale, at last Monday's reduction in their value. Peas changed hands heavily, yet prices zuled about stationary. Flour was very dull, and American barrels were freely offered at the late reduction in the quotations—in some in stances at rather less money. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEI. There was rather an extensive supply of foreign stock on offer in our market to-day, and sales progressed slowly, at about stationary prices. The arrivals of beasts from our own grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, were seasonably large as to number, and for the most part in excellent condition. Notwith standing that the beef trade was less active than on Thurs day, that day's advance in the quotations was fairly sup ported, the best Scots and crosses having realised 5s 2d per 81b. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,700 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England, 300 various breeds; and from Scotland, 700 Scots and crosses. With most breeds of sheep we were well supplied, but their general quality was by no means prime. On the whole, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's prices. The best old Downs were selling at 5s 4d per 81b. There was only a limited sale for lambs, the show of which was good, at Thursday's decline in value. The general currencies ranged from 5s Gd to 6s Bd, but really choice lambs were worth is per 81b. The arrival from Ireland was confined to 50 head. Calves, the supply of which was only moderate, changod hands slowly, at late rates—viz., from 4s to 5s 2d per 81b. There was only a limited sale for pigs, nevertheless prices were supported. _ Per Slb. to sink the offal. a. d. s. d.

The accounts from the manufacturing districts state that during the past week symptoms of im provement have been . apparent in several depart ments of trade. At Leeds the demand for cloths for home use has been on the increase. There has been a more active enquiry for goods at Manches ter, suitable for the India and China markets, and a slight improvement can be reported in the hosiery and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham. In the hardware districts no material alteration can be reported except at Birmingham, where increased animation has prevailed in several, branches, parti cularly in the gun trade. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a fair amount of business was recorded, and 8,000 bales were disposed of at about former prices. A further sum of £65,115 was conveyed by the Africa, which left for New York on Saturday. The Tyne, which sailed to-day for the Brazils, took out £3,500 in gold and £14,000 in silver. About £6,000 in gold was purchased by the Bank of England authorities on Saturday. The Prince of Wales has arrived from Melbourne with £88,504, and the Peru with £58,248. • An aetive business is still transacted in the general discount market, and capitalist are still holding back in order to be prepared for the forthcoming Indian Loan, which it is thought will be brought forward at an early period. Full rates are, therefore, de manded, 6 per cent. being charged in private channels for the best descriptions of commercial bills. The appearance of the last Bank of England return has also tended to engender a feeling of re serve in banking circles, but there is still an ample supply of money, and the mercantile community experience no difficulty in obtaining the accommo dation they require at the current rates. The Bank of England authorities, in compliance with the wishes of the public, have made arrange ments for the publication of the weekly returns on Thursday afternoon instead of Friday, as hereto fore. SUbjoined is the official notification addressed to the editor : "Inland Revenue, Somerset House, London, N.C., I Bth June 1861. " Sire—The government and company of the Bank of England transmit to this office, weekly, an account of their notes, bullion, &c., for the purpose of being published in the " London Gazette," pursuant to the Act 7 and 8 Vic., cap 32.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. ;Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Martin, Bram- well, and Channel!. THE CASE OF MR. HATCH. Mr. M. Chambers, Q.C., rose for the purpose of moving for a rule of court requiring the Lord Chief Baron to issue his certificate granting to Mr. Hatch the costs in the case of Lewis v. Lewis, which was tried before his lordship a short time ago, and a verdict for 40s. damages was returned in favour of the plaintiff. Mr. Baron Martin intimated to the learned (gentleman that it was a question to be dealt with by the Lord Chief Baron rather than by an order of Court. The Lord Chief Baron referred to the steps that had already been taken with respect to the cost in the cause alluded to, and said that during the day he would fully consider the matter, and to-morrow morning ho would inform the learned gentleman of his determination. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Bafore Sir Cresswell Cresswell.) STOATS V. STOATS. In this case the husband petitioned the Court for a dis solution of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery, to which the respondent entered an appearance, and pleaded denial, and also recriminated the charges. The case was heard on the 11th of December, 1860, before the Judge Ordinary and a common jury, and a verdict was found for the petitioner on all the issues. The learned Judge pro nounced the decree nisi, and the case came on for argument this morning on the application of Mr. Howard, the re spondent's solicitor, to be allowed to show ground why the decree should not be made absolute. . Dr. Swabey, who appeared for Mr. Howard, said that he founded his application on affidavit to the effect that the respondent was not in London in sufficient time to give evi dence on them, and that two witnesses who were examined had since seen the respondent, and stated that they were mistaken in her identity. Sir C. Cresswoll said that the time had elapsed when it was competent f or th e respondent to oppose the decree being made absolute. It was merely an at tempt to obtain a new trial without having previously complied with the rules of the court. Ile would accordingly dismiss the ap • plication with costs. (Before a Common Jury.) POUNSFORD V. POUNSPORD AND DULPIN. This was a suit instituted by the husband for a dissolu tion of marriage on the ground of his wife's adultery with the co-respondent, who is a farmer residing in the neigh bourhood of Bridgewater. The respondent entered an ap pearance and denied the charge, but the co-respondent did not appear. From the evidence it appeared that the respondent, re who riare was a native of Wembdon, S o ac quainted with the petiti oner , who was the i daughter highly-respectable gentleman at Melbourne, , became a nd they of were a married in that town in the year 1856. Some after wards her father died and left her considerabTe ear p r s operty,which was settled on her, and they r e t urne d to England in the October of 1856. They took up their residence at East Wembdon, near Bridgewater, and here they formed the intimacy of Mr. Bulpin, who had previously b een ac quainted with the petitioner , and was in the habit of calling • frequently, and sometimes taking his meals at their house. It was alleged that Mr. Bulpin at length succeeded in seducing the affections of the respondent, who subsequently eloped with him, and they lived together afterwards. It further appeared that there were some children issue of the marriage, but they were deceased. Several witnesses were called, whose evidence fully esta blished the case, and the jury found a verdict for the peti tioner, to the effeet that the adultery was committed with the co-respondent, and awarded £5OO damages. The Court then pronounced the decree nisi with costs, PREFERENCE SHARES. Share! Railways. Paid Closing Business Price. Done. Blythe and Tyne 10 per c. pref.

SHELLEY, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that a piece of land had been left by the late Lord Craven, towards effdow ing an hospital for the five parishes in the neighbourhood of Paddington, for the reception of patients affected with contagious diseases, and the income, amounting to £350 a-year, had been offered to St. Mary's Hospital on condition of an additional wing being attached to that institution, to carry out the view of the noble donor (Earl Craven). That offer had been refused, and he was endeavouring to find some other institution which might feel disposed to accept of it. THE CUNARD COMPANY, &c. Mr. GREGORY gave notice that in the event of his hon. a nd gallant friend (Colonel French) not bringing forward the motion of which he had give notice, for a return of the failures of contract on the part of the Cunard company and other companies for a period of two years, and for in formation as to the enforcement of the penalties for the same, that he would bring forward a motion to the same effect. CIIINA-MR. PARKE'S REPORT. Col. SYKES asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, whether the report from Mr. Parkes of his four interviews with the Taeping authorities at Nankin, to which reference was made in Commander Aplin's letter, dated the 2d of April, 1861, in the China correspondence, respecting the opening of the Yang-tze-Kiang river, would be laid upon the table of the house ? _ _ _ Lord J. RUSSELL said that whatever 'papers had been received on the subject had been already on the table. DEPORTATION OF MR. MOSS FROM JAPAN. Mr. Alderman SALOMONS asked the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs, if any decision had been come to in the case of Mr. Moss, sentenceg by Mr. Alcock to fine, deportation from Japan, and imprisonment at Hong Kong ; and if he is prepared to lay any papers on that subject upon the table of the house ? Lord J. RUSSELL said that it would not be proper to lay such papers before the house, considering that there were law proceedings pending at Hong Kong in reference to the subject. APPROPRIATION OF SEATS (SUDBURY AND ST. ALBANS) BILL. On the motion for going into committee on this bill, Earl JERMYN moved that the house resolve itself into such committee this day six months. The noble lord, was very imperfectly heard, was understoo d to say tliat Sudbury was not deserving of the sweep in g condemnation to other have which had been passed on it by depriving it of Parliamen tary ou r g e h p s re w s h en io t h at f io ro n m , and tlino troefteirrmeodh,tiod been of c p a ro se v s ed. the Government had this borough. He complained that been guilty of offences quite as bad as those committed by not dealt explicitly with himregard question he had put shortly before the Easter vacation, as to whether in to the it was intended to deal with the other delinquent boroughs with the same severity- as St. Albans and Sudbury had bun treated, and he was left uninformed on this subject, He said the question in regard to this boro ug h was not one o f abstract politic al moralit y or im morality, but one of rej a .. tire or comparative merit ; and applying this ro th e present case, he thought it most unju st p r oposition to b oro ugh of Sudbury with the heavy penult to visit th e i n fli c ted on it. lie said th a t it was y which h a d been not oppose this bill further than to e li c i t a hisintention to should be the practice in f u t ure with regar ddiscussion to c ons tit uenc i es corruption. convicted of gross and systematic co Sir G. C. LEWIS said th a t he thoughtron. casion on which the s u bj ec t o f dealing the proper oc casion con victed of corruption wo u ld b e when the with boroughs Elections Bill was brought forward,The object of the Corrupt Practice at noble lord was in fact t o resuscitate a defunct borough, and a borough remarkable for its corruption. In the work of Mr. May, who sat at that table, it had been shown that Sudbury had been famous in the annals of political abase ment. He referred also to the overwhelming mass of evi dence before the select committee confirmatory of the bad reputation which that borough had acquired. With regard to the boroughs of Gloucester and Wakefield, it was not necessarily the function of Government to bring in a bill to disfranchise these boroughs, but it was competent for any private member to do so, and if that were adopted, Government would give the bill every due consideration. He trusted, under these circumstances, the noble lord (Earl Jernyn) would not press his motion. Major PARKER, who had seconded the amendment, trusted that the house would reject the bill. Mr. SCULLY also opposed the bill, which he denounced as a miserable substitute on the part of the Government for the Reform Bill which they had promisecithe country, and on the faith of which they had been placed in power. hlr. STIRLING supported the bill as being a step in the right direction. He thought that on the distribution of the seats, it was a fallacy to regard them as being only English seats, and that one of them should be given to Scotland and another to Ireland. When they went into committee he would move that one of the vacant seats should be given to the Scotch University. Co) D UNNE gave notice that in committee he would move that two of the vacant seats should be given to Ire land. His hon. and learned friend the member for Dun garvan had a motion to the same effect, but he specified Cork and Dublin as being the parts of Ireland to whom the additional members should be appropriated, and to that mo tion he had no objection. lie contended that Ireland was not adequately represented in that house, and that the present was a fitting opportunity for the Parlia ment to do justice, though in a very small degree. lie would move that Cork should b e su b stituted for Lancashire in the bill, or if it was more agreeable to Scotch members to make a similar motion in relation to the Scotch University, he would move that Cork be sub stituted for Chelsea. Sir H. WILLOUGHBY deprecated the introduction of the subject of the boroughs of St. Albans and Sudbury into the introduction of the bill. He thonght that Governmen should be allowed to make the selection of the boroughs who were to get the additional members. [LEFT SPEAKING.] TATTERSALLS'-(THIS .EVENING).

Amongst the minor charges that which is expected to create the greatest curiosity is the indictment preferred against Catherine 'Wilson,' a lady of some stand • ing in society, who is charged with attempting to pass off the child of her sister as her own legitimate offspring. The trial of Durden and llolcroft will, it is expected, come on on Wednesday next. The judges who will pre side are the Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, Sir W.

It has been, we are informed, determined to send three regiments of infantry and a sufficient amount of artillery and munitions of war to reinforce the garrisons in British North America. These garrisons had been so reduced of late years as scarcely to afford sentries enough for the protection of the public buildings at the most im portant military posts, and, as their weakness seemed even to invite attack, it has been thought desirable to place them in a position to command respect from any irregular body which, in a moment of excitement, might feel tempted, to assail a place which seemed incapable of defence.
