THE TIPPERARY BANE CONTRIBUTORIES, The war of words still rages in Master Murphy's office. Saturday was occupied with the cases of Mr Wilson Kennedy and Mr Vincent Scully, _and at the conclusion of the arguments the Master intimaterthat his judgment with respect to those gentlemen's claims for exemption would be prepared by Monday (this day). It is said that in the event of judgment being given against the English shareholders, the parties are pre pared to appeal first to the Court of Chancery, and, if unsuccessful there, then to bring the matter before the highest tribunal in the empire. Altogether the prospects of the creditors do not improve, and everything denotes the certainty of a long day before a sixpence shall be touched in the way of a dividend.

BERKELEY renewed 'his motion for leave to bring in a bill to protect the electors of Great Britain and Ireland, by taking the votes by way of ballot. He looked upon the task he hid undertaken as one of Sisyphian labour, and, if 'he had but' , half accom plished it, something would have been. gained for the caws he advocated. Since last be addressed the 'house great changes' had taken place with reference to this• question in the opieion of hon. members of that house. Some maintaiael their objections to the ques tion and some had changed them,.'and those who had ,done it woula be found for the most part to have changed their politics, and those who had not changed their'opinions and had riot changed their politics would be found to have changed their_ constituents from those large mannficturing towns and the counties, or those rotten borough 3 that had been allowed to remain under the Reform Bill to please the Whig nobility, and from a participation of which they were unable to ex clude the Tory nobility. The ballot was not now a party question, although it was attempted to be made so by the Tories in that house, and it had been made an open question by the Government. The hon. gentleman then reviewed the progress of opi nion on this question within the last few, years, and pro ceeded to answer many of the arguments that had been advanced against the establishmentof vote by ballot. The present system of voting at elections was, he, contended; unmanly, tyrannical, and unconstitutional ; and from the manner in which it was too often exercised, it was both brutal and demoralising to the voter. He com batted what he called the fallacy of the argument used in favour of the present mode of voting—via., that the electors held the franchise in trust for the non electors, and that therefore they should vote openly that it might be known whether or - not they IlAd 00P1 - mitted a breach of that trust. 'Be "voting for A. or B was no proof of the purity of the elector's voting, for it was impossible to discover by it whether the elector had voted from purity of motives or without intimidation. He called attention to the existing state of the ballot in Ame rica, about which there was much misconception, and read from documents furnihed him by Americans the practical working of the ballot in the various states of the Union. He also illustrated the evils of the open voting by reading *reports of the proceedings at the recent elections of Boston, Bath, Wells, Midhurst, and other places. (LEFT SPEAKING.)

THIRD REEIDINGS. On the motion of Lord REDESDALE the following bills were severally read a third time and passed : Wainman's Estate, East Somerset Railway, and Lon don, Tilbury, and Southend Railway (Increase of Capi tal). THE MARITIME LAWS. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said his attention had been called to the subject of our maritime laws, which had been referred to in the declaration made at the recent conference held at Paris. It appeared to him that the language used on that occasion left the ques tion in a .very vague and unsatisfactory state. It was highly desirable twat the true meaning and intention of the expression used should be clearly understood. With a view of effeelng that object, it was his intention to lay upon the table some resolutions upon the subject he in tended to propose. He thought it desirable that the purport of these res dutions be el-arly understood before Lis noble friend (Lord Colchester) brought forward his motion on the subject, which stood on the paper for Thursday next. DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. The LORD CHANCELLOR moved the second read ing of this bill, and shortly stated the marriags law as it existed at a very remote period down to the present time, as well as the practice of the Established Church and the Church of Rime in respect to divorce. The law upon the subject was in a very unsatisfactory state, and it ought to be remedied. A commission sat a few years ago, at which the Lord Chief Justice was 'at the head, and it was on the recommendation of that com mittee that the present bill was foundei . In the present bill be proposed that instead of those various and costly proceedings which were necessary under the present law, that a competent court should at once he constituted, which would have full jurisdiction to inquire into the matrimonial cases brought before it, and if the charge of infidelity was proved to grant a divorce. He proposed that this oourt should supersede the necessity of actions for crilm. con., which he always con sidered of a very revolting nature. He did not propose to abolish such actions if the parties desired to have re course to them ; but thershould not be a necessary pre liminary proceeding to the obtaining of a divorce. He further proposed that the Lord Chancellor, the Lord Chief Justice of the Queen's Bench, and another judge, should-preside in the court, and that there should be an appeal to the House of Lords, as in all other cases. This court is not to try cases at the instance of the wife, and the law 'would, therefore, remain precisely in the same state as it was at present. It bad been sug gested that the bill should be extended to Ireland. To such a course he should not object, provided it was the opinion of a majority of the house. . Lord LYNDHURST thought the present bill very inefficient, and that it ought not to be passed in its pre sent state into a law. This measure would render the position of the women much worse than it was under the present law, and he therefore thought that the bill should be referred to a select committee, He moved I that the bill, and the law and practice of divorce, be re- ferred to a select committee, \ - -nth directions to inquire whether any, and what, alterations it would be proper and just to make in the said bill, and to report thereon.

PARLIAMENTARY REPRESENTATION. Sir J. OVAL NISLEY postponed the motion of which he bad given notice for to-night relative to Parlia mentary representation and the extension of the fran chise till this day month. OFFICERS' HORSES—CRIMEA. Sir J. PAKINGTON asked the Under Secretary for War whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government, on the return of the British army from the Crimea, to bring home at the public cost the regulation number of chargers belonging to officers ; or, if the horses are not brought home, whether they intend to make up to all officers the amount of allowance to which they would have been entitled if their horses had been lost in her Majesty's service." Mr. F. PEEL said that no despatches hat been re ceived from General ,Codringtoa explaining why he issued the orders referred to. A telegraphic communi cation had been forwarded to the Crimea, stating that officers' chargers were to be brought home free of cost, and also those horses belonging to officers of the Turkish Contingent. SARDINIA. Viscount GODERICH asked the First Lord of the Treasury whether he would lay on the table of the house copies of two notes, dated the 27th of March and the 16th of April last, presented by the Sardinian Plenipotentiaries, at the Conferences at Paris, to the English and French Ministers. Lord PALMERSTON said there was no objection to do so. The second note had not yet been answered. As soon as it was, it should also be laid on the table of the house. CELESTINA SOMERS. Mr. WARREN asked the Secretary for the Home Department whether the advisers of the Crown, in re commending a commutation of the sentence of death lately passed on Calestina Somers at the Central Crimi nal Court for the murder of her child, had obtained the report and taken the opinion of the judge by whom she had been tried ; and, if so, whether there w as any objection to laying them before the house ?" Cr G. GREY said the Secretary of State was exclu sively answerable for recommending a commutation of the sentence in this instance. Se did not feel himself justified in laying the opinion of the learned judge who tried the case on the table of the house. It was a con fidential communication to the Home Secretary, an d h e alone was responsible for the commutation of the so n . tepee. SECRET TREATY• In reply to a question from the Marquis of GRANgy , Lord PALMERSTON said no other treaty but that laid on the tabl e had been concluded by the allied Powers. CORPORATION REFORIA BILL. In reply to Mr. BALL, Sir G. GREY said he did not think this bill could be taken into consideration before llonday next. TUE LATE FATAL ACCIDENT AT 'WOOL WICIL icidy a, Mr. iii. CLIAMBEBB, Ur. F.

LATER DEPARTURE OF MAILS roil THE MEDITER RANEAN, INDIA, &c., VIA MARSEILLES.—The overland mails for the Mediterranean, India, &c., yid Marseilles, will in future be made up and despatched from London on the evenings of the 10th and 26th of each month, instead of on the mornings of those days, as heretofore, except when the 10th or 26th of the month falls on a Sunday, on which occasion the mails will be despatched from London on the morning of the following day. THE TRINITY CORPORATION.—Yesterday being Trinity Monday, a special general court was held at the Trinity ' house, at which his Royal Highness Prince Albert was unanimously re-elected Mesta-, and Capt. John Shep herd Deputy-Master, of that ancient corporation for the ensuing year. The court then proceeded to the parish church of St. Olave, in Hart-street, where divine service was performed, and an appropriate sermon preached by the Rev. Arthur',P. Stanley, M.A. A melancholy accident occurred on the 11th on the Genoa and Pontedecimo railway, when the wife of a switchman, having been imprudent enough to cross the line while the train was coming at full speed, was over taken and killed on the spot. The inquest on the bodies killed by the explosion of Saturday last will take place this day (Tuesday), before the Coroner for the district, Mr. C. J. Carttar, at the Gun Tavern, near the Royal Ordnance Hospi tal. The remains f a body is at the hospital, but no trace can be found as to who the poor unfortunate was; but it is supposed to be one of the name of Shylock, who is missing. As the master of a fishing boat was two days ago pur suing his avocations, about five miles north of Cape Antifer, he perceived part of the hull of a vessel drift ing near him. He immediately steered towards it with the intention of taking it in tow into Etretat, but finding that he could not manage it he stranded it on the nearest part of the coast he could reach, which was near Fahamp. Oa examination of the wreck it was found to be a part of the starboard side of a vessel, and measured twenty-six metres in length. On a copper plate affixed to one of the ribs were the words "Hopwood and Armstrong, London, registered June, 1350." On one of the plants the mas ter of the fishing boat, when he first discovered the wreck, distinctly made out the word " Woodcock," which was probably the name of the va,sel ; but when the wreck grounded this plank could not be found, or the letters which were painted bad been rubbe .3 off. All that can be saved of this piece of wreck will be deposited charge of the) custom-lmso authcoritioa at Ncaulp JOHN SADLEIB'S ASSETS. The Freeman of this morning has a statement to the effect that the Crown, on the memorial of creditors to the extent of 250,0001., has agreed to appoint Mr. An thony Norris, of Bedford-row, London, and one of the creditors, to be administrator for collecting in the assets of the late John Sadlair. Mr. Norris has consented to act under the authority of the Crown, and will lose no time in realising for the benefit of the unhappy creditors large sums stated to have been invested by the suicide in various securities both at home and abroad. This step will perhaps afford a solution to the prevailing mystery with respect to the disposal by the deceased of the gigantic funds realised in the course of his successful career of fraud. DUBLIN, MONDAY EVENING. TIPPERARY BANK. -IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. Mr. Murphy gave judgment this day on the applica tions made by Mr. Wilson Kennedy and Mr. V.

A dreadful accident occurred on board the Nimrod steamer, from Liverpool, which arrived this morning at 5 o'clock at the Quay, Cork. As she was swinging round an explosion was heard on deck, and a dense cloud of smoke was seen to issue from the engine-room, where were found six men lying in various parts of the room. The bodies presented a fearful appearance when brought on deck. One was found dead, and the others in a dying condition. Two died immediately. Three more were removed to the North Infirmary, where they soon after expired. The accident was caused by the bursting of the boiler. A capital execution waa to have taken place a few days since at Potsdam, but the town invoking, an ancient privilege which interdicts executions from being carried out in that town or neighbourhood, opposed it. The condemned prisoner was in consequence transferred to Berlin. The executioner in that capital, however, refused to act, saying that his services were only at tached to the tribunal of Berlin. The execution was consequently suspended.

Cut on thence, with the same lati tude of design, straight to Gough-square, thence to Carey-street (across Chancery-lane), thence diagonally, through blocks of wretched and dingy buildings, bounded by Vere-street, Wild-street, Stanhope-street, to Hart street, and thence across St. Martin's-lane between New-street and Long acre, eo crossing St. Martin's-lane and issuing into Leicester-square (north side), without interfering with Cranbourne-new-street, except at the point of junction. Thus the present business streets would be spared, and the slums only opened out to fresh air and daylight.--The Builder. TEE ROYAL ACADEMY.—SIB CHATLES EASTLAKE A GAIN —Mr. Kaulbach complains that his picture of the Duke of Cambridge has been excluded from the exhibi tion ; but not because of the number of portraits this year, for they a re comparatively few ; nor because of the badness of the picture, for the high officers of the Academy admit its merits, and in writing confess their regrets at not hanging it. Want of a "fitting place" is the alleged reason. Nor is it the only picture excluded. Another excellent portrait has been kept out ; not because the artist, Mr. Augustus Heroien, is regarded with hostility, by the Academy, for he has been an exhibitor constantly admitted, and he, we fancy, is not in question ; not because the picture is bad, for it is reported to be one of the best by the same hand, and an admirable likeness. Why, then I Is it because the original is the.t "WILLIAM CONINGHAM," whose sig nature has appeared at the foot of severe criticisms or, the admission and exclusion of otter pictures in another gallery—the National ? Was it, thcaght improper to admit "CoeireiGuam," even in piCtia., as a guest under the roof of gastlake ?Spectator. The Armide, frigate, left Brest on the 15th, with convicts on board, for the penitentiary colony of Cayenne. The little town of Aix-les-Bains, Savoy (says the Courrier de Lyon), has lost by its own fault the disgrace. ful establishments which made its fortune—the public gaming.heuses, From time immemorial it was quite the fashion in the 'municipal assemblies of the place to de claim against the play which was permitted in the town. In that way the profits of the crime were enjoyed as well as the honours due to virtuous indignation ; for the Go vernment havin he'wy turned a deaf ear to all these manifestations, good people of Aix firmly believed • that the gaming.houses were a necessary evil. But this year Count de Cavour suddenly took at their word the complaints of the troubled consciences of the town ; and now, behold, all the dealers and hotel keepers, who grew rioh on the visitors who eao h y ear flocked there, are in despair. A. few days since the wife of a s mall farmer, named Letailleur, residing in the village of Montplaisir (Tarn), died in consequence of having caught the glanders from a mule having that disease. She had been endeavouring to cure the animal by blowing snuff up its nostrils, and it is supposed that he must have herself taken a pinch of snuff w ith ou t h av i n g washed her hands clean after attending to the diseased animal, and thu s cau g ht the iefection. The authorities, oh hearing of the fact, ordered th e mu l e t o b e killed. BANKRUPTS.

Pancras was held in the Vestry Hall, King's-road, Camden-town, for the purpcse of eliciting the opinion of the public upon the recent stoppage of the bands in Kensington-gardens and the parks, by order of the Go vernment, IV. D. CoorEß, Esq., baying been voted to the chair, called upon Mr. KENNY, the honorary secretary, to real the various correspondence from geetlereen who were prevented attending the meeting. Jacob Bell, Mr. G. Cruiksbank, and Mr. Charles Dickens were among the correspondents. The folio ruing letter from the latter gentleman was real amidst loud applause : " Tavisteck House, Monday, May 19. " Mr. T. Ross, Mir. J. Kenny. "Gentlemen,—l have received a letter signed by you (which .I aesume to be written mainly- on behalf of what are called working men and their families) inviting m e to attend a meeting in our parish Vestry Hall this even ing, on the stoppage of the Sunday bands in the parks. "1 thoroughty agree 'with you that those bands have afforded an innocent arid:healthful enjoyment on the Sun day afternoon to which the people have a right. But I think it essential that the worliieg people should of themselves, and by themselves, assert that right. They have been informed on the high authority of their first Minister (lately rather in want of House of Commons votes, I am told) that they are almost indifferent to it. The correction of that mistake—if official omniscience can be mistaken—lies with. themselves. "In case it should be considered by the meeting (which I prefer for this reason not to attend) expedient to unite with other metropolitan parishes in forming a fund for the payment of each expenses as may be ia curred in peaceably and numerously representing to the governing powers the harmless recreation they have taken away is very - much 'wanted, I beg you to put down my name as a subscriber of ten pounds, and I am your faithful servant, " CHARLES DIOKENS." The CHAIRMAN, in opening the proceedings, remarked that the question which they had met to consider was one of the most important to the well-being of the peo ple. An attempt was being :made to dictate to the two and-a-quarter millions of the. inhabitants of London by the puritanical observers of the Sabbath on the other side of the Tweed. It was, tilt ereforo, incumbent on-the people to eteed up for their- Tights, and peaceably but strenuously to asters them. [Sir B. Hall was here an nounced, and was received ertath loud and reiterated ap plause and waving of hats.] He (the chairman) sin cerelytrusted that the Sable tf h would never be observed in London as it was in Gla. sg-ow. It was with regret and surprise that he saw ray :Lord Palmerston was the man to put the chain round the neck of their excellent member Sir B. Hall, who in this matter had so truth fully represented the feelings: and wishes of the people. But if the people were true Ito themselves they might defy the Scotch Sabbatariante —indeed, Scotland itself, if it came across the Tweed, to interfere with their rights. WM. TAPPING, Esq., mover, I the first resolution : " That the performance of music in the public parks on the Sunday afternoon is erg tirently calculated to pro mote the health, happiness, of tr t morality of the people ; and this meeting her eby expr. ei ses its regret and indig nation at he sudden withdratee el of so useful and inno cent a means of popular enjoys cent. (Applause.) Mr. JOHN IVORY seconded el to resolution, which was put and carried almost unanina ously, amidst reiterated applause. Sir B. HALL then addressed the meeting. He felt anxious to address that vast air emblage on the import ant question before them. It 1 as with regret that he had to state that his noble trice d Lord Ebrington had been suddenly attacked with ol thalmia, and he trusted that his constitutente would be as considerate towards his noble colleague as they had. been to him (Sir B. Hall) when similarly suffering from xc election. He had done all he could, and not without succe: , s be felt, to ascertain the wants of the people of the metre .polls. He had formed certain opinions, and to them le, held fast. (Hear.) It was with regret that the inn ocent recreation which he had obtained for the peopl a was no longer to be within their reach. He was in formed that the decision which had been come to was in consequence of me morials addressed to the House of Commons, and peti tions to the Crown. He did ne t wish to find fault with the manner in which petitions I were got up, but he did feel justified in stating what son se of these petitions and memorials contained. (Hear.) ! The prayer of the memo rialists was not only that muscle us and other such places should remain closed, but they el esired also that all steam boats should cease to ply on the Sunday, (No, and hear.) He would say and prove that such was the fact ; not only this, but all trains were to cease to issue from the stations —nay more, the gates e f the parks were to be closed on the Sunday. (Shame . , and No.) Some per sons might say no, because they did not like to hear such things, but iu a few days, by' an order of the house, these petitions would be prints L (Hear, hear.) But would the dissentients believe 41 hat some went so far as to pray that instructions shoal d be sent to all foreign ministers to use their exertion .1 to get the Sabbath, in the countries where they mai( i ed, similarly observed. The only conclusion that he (: 3 it B. Hall) could come to wee, that the petitioners • were not aware of the absurdities they were signing. Some time ago a de putation had waited upon hi (111 and stated that no carriages should enter the par' r. s. More, one gentle man, a City Missionary, consid a red skating in the parks was most improper. (Hear, and laughter.) Lately we had a letter printed in the papers from Mr. Baines, of Leeds. (Hisses.) In that letter ho paid a very poor compliment to the h tl rabitants of the metro polis when he said that out of a crowd of 90,000 persons there must be some wicked per ens who would seek to seduce the innocent and unwar3 e. (Hear.) In the course of last Sunday week there were .no fewer than 285,000 persons in the parks. and L• . I .;a any oae of that vast number go away a we u:se man or a worse wo man ? (No, no.) The whole r 'umber of persons whose labour was required for the an casement of the vast mul titude was only 25. Why d is! not Mr. Baines write down the Sunday trains whi oh issued from Leeds ? Simply because he dare not. (Cheers.) As we were told what we should not do, h I would like some one to issue a pamphlet headed by I ford R. Grosvenor, Lord Blandford, and Arthur Kinnait r!.. and entitled "How to keep the Sabbath." (Cheers.) Were the people better in places where the Sabbath v. 'as strictly observed, or where it was not so strictly u tisservod ? (Hear.) He could say from experience that in neither Glasgow nor Edinburgh, where you "may a a e whistle to your dog," were the people better, happier, o r more moral than they were at Windsor, where the so en id of music was heard on a Sunday. (Hear.) But w hi it would the people say when he (Sir B. Hall) told them that a compromise was proposed—(shame)—that he had ..been actually told that had he beea contented with Kent ington-gardeus he would not have been interfered with 1 B a .t what would his consti tuents have said had he been so •pocritical as to say that that was right in Kensington-g: L rdens which was wrong in Victoria and Regent's Parks b '? (Hear.) Those who went to Keesingtonee ' ardens h a ,d music in their own homes. (Hear, hear.) It was :his duty, as a represen tative of the people and as a in i. [lister of the Crown, to see that all classes were equall y dealt with. He had personally visited the various pr ir ks, and could bear tes timony to the excellent conduct of those who were essen tially the people—so careful wet ti the people of the parks that it required nothing more tb sin their own good sense to protect them. In giving a band to the people on Sunday, he was under the convi iction that he was doing no wrong to God or man. Hi i would ask those who were opposed to him not to co riderna because they did not agree on all pciuts. It wa t with deep regret that he had been compelled to discon i.inue the recreation he had provided. One thing in conclusion. He would urge upon the people to continu e , that conduct which up to this time was so admirable— a continuance of such conduct would at least convince the opponents to the bands that they have been wro a , g. (Hear, hear.) As to Lord Palmerston, he had heaa d from his lordship that evening that his opinion was that the music in the parka was of an elevating character and useful to the working classes. (Hear, hear.) Of the ',many meetings he had attended in that hall during the last 20 years he had never seen so crowded or so entleusiastic, and he would say, notwithstanding some slight interruptions, so or derly a meeting. In conclusioie, he would say that as he had been so he would continue to be—the unflinch ing representative of the people's interests. (Loud cheers, amidst which the right hct.n. baronet retired.) Mr. CLEMENTS proposed the , second resolution : " That a deputation be hereby appointed to wait on Lord Palmerston and represent to him the feeling of dissatisfaction which prevails among atlhoef the o r s king feelingslord s lordship p o n that the matter classes of the metropolis at the withdrawal rw day itro nbganddessire felt; and also t 0 00 manifest t e t their hisa matter by means of a pe aceful and orderly demonstra tion in the metropoli s by an opererair meeting." Mr. HART seconded the resolution and denounced Holy Alliance, headed by Baines, of Leeds, t a h n e d ntle; Archbishop of Canterbury. (fear.) ler qiNDEN proposed au az:let:Rio:mut, to the effect that an open-air meeting on the Lard's-day was ob jectionable. Mr. CHARLES BURKE seconded the amendment amidst great uproar. A few hands having been held up for the amend ment, the re-solution was carried amidst loud applause. J. WEDe-wOOD, E2q,, of Cumberland-terrace, Re gent's-park, a member of the present vestry of St. Pancras, moved, and Mr. Ross seconded, the follow ing resolution :--" That the thanks of this meeting be given to Sir B. Hall fur the enlightened and straight forward manner in which he has maintained the right of the people to innocent recreation on the Sunday, till forced to yield to the commands of superior au thority," which was carried seem. eon., and the meet ing separated at a late hour, a cordial vote of thanks having been previously given to Mr. Cooper for his conduct in the chair. A BIRD'S NEST IN A LETTER BOX.—In a box fixed 00 a post near the gardens at Thorpe Hall, letters and new papers are deposited for the convenience of the foot mes senger, as he passes each way daily between Bridling ton (the post town), and the receiving house at Thwing. The lid of the box is secured by a lock and key, and al• though the box is opened four times a day, except on Sundays, yet, strange as it may appear, a pair of billy biters (the blue titmouse) have built a nest in the box, making their ingress and egress through the slit for the reception of letters, and where the female has laid some eggs. When the discovery was made of these novel tenants, Mr. Mills, the gardener at Thorpe-hall, was in clined to destroy them, on account of their propensity to peck and nibble, and probably to injure or destroy let ters, but, at the intercession of the messenger, who con• f idt,r d such a prJeedure would be a breach of the con fidence placed in man by the iittie builders, they have beau eulierecl to r9;1 1 47 Vorkeiirotan. ~:, ~.:=3 tb i'a- Lk ar- S a LAi• .4 . ,en• .;~ :- , N I I %
