JUNE 9, 1842. The..flouse of Commons last night, though the guiding nTh ' s t e r was absent, presented a much more sober ap pearance than the night before. In trutlr, it was engaged with subjects somewhat of a melancholy nature, which probal.ily came home to the pecuniary- interests of some of the Meniber: , . The larger portion of the evening was employed in di -icussing thi two important questions of the duty on cotton wool, and on sheep wool. On both, one :rater another, it was proposed by 1)r. Bownnio tore• du& the duty on cotton, as settled in the tarifF, from 2s: lld. per cwt. to Id.: and by Mr. WOOD, on from or Id. per lb. for diffil - ent sorts, to Is. per ca • • In nulling these motions both gentlemen, fol lowed by - ,,others, drew some lu g ubrious, picture.: of the present.;;ate of our Manilfacturc•s - , and or the effects of thes•2 dutie. Their facts and their arguments were throtvn :tway. Sir IioDERT PF,NT, was not present ; and, of cour: , ,e, his subordaates, the most ae:ive of' whom was his roan, GLAte;• - rw,F., could not make any altera tion in his s,:heme. In both cases the Committee de. (idea by considerable tria:orities, 53 in the first case and 57 in the second, to do as the absent Dictator bade them. and,. in spite of the strong evidence that. was laid her re them, that they were inflicting irreparable mis chk.f on those two great branches of our manufacture they vote.] to continue the present duties on cotton wool' • and sheep wool. ',Ort both questions some of the usual supporters of ag=tinst; than. Mr. WILSON PATTEN spo k t:r favour of: the .reducei duty on cotton Wool, and Mr: BECKETT strenuously advocated the reduction "of thC- duty on sheep iwool. Mr. C. Woos proved by a of facts-and figures, that our Woollen trade was go i ng to defmy, and that we - weirc. 'cut, out of f ore i gn markets by the French and the GerniatiS. 'Ntr. BECKiTT c(mfirwed this, and emphatically stated that u p to this time no improvement .whatever had taken place in the trade of Leeds. He quoted a case in which an order for 10,000 i. of goods, for, we believer the Chira market, had been taken from Leech Ana oxe cuteii at Aix-la-Chapelle, which the 'abolition of the 'duty would have enabled the parties to execute at Leeds. Of that 10,0001.; he said 2,5001. would have gene to pay wages. This is only a specimen of what takes place through every part of our manufactures. High duties and high prices prevent orders ; the mills are stopped, and wages are lessened by several 100,0001. Here, by a single example, Mr. BECKETT taught us the whole theory 'of the public distress. It all had no effect either on the absent or on the present Ministers. It - was im possible, Mr. GLADSTONE said, that the Government could spare such an amount of revenue. To give up these ruinous imposts would compel a complete revision of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S financial scheme. So he demon strated that the scheme was a mischievous one ; and so he told the suffering people in very plain language, not very wisely we thought, that the Government and the wants of the Government were the causes why they can get no wages, and why they are suffering such deep dis tress. Such important questions ought not to have been incidentally discussed on a Wednesday night, in the absence of Sir ROBERT PEEL. It is not likely the decision of the Committee will be final ; and the Go vernment, we believe, will have to revise that part of tariff at no distant date, The uproar which the contending theological factions have been for some time keeping up at Oxford, is stilled for the present. The Puseyites have gained a complete victory over the Hampdenites and the Heads of Houses. By a majority of 115, in a convocation of 553 members of the University, who had been collected from all quarters, it has been decided not to rescind the statute pass2d six years ago against Dr. HAMPDEN. Till another occasion for a contest arises, the parties will be quiet. If the Puseyites suffered a temporary defeat by the rejection of their candidate for the Professorship of Poetry, they have now taken an ample vengeance on their opponents. Then have gained strength by their former defeat, and, as the Bishop of OXFORD in his Puseyite charge said, the authors of the " Tracts for the Times " have thriven by persecution. The Puseyites at present hold the power of the University in their hands. Now, we may look for vigils, and fast days, and all the other popish ceremonials which still form a part of the Common Prayer Book, though neither people nor priests thought of practising them till the Puseyite revival, We shall soon have them all enforced, if the people will submit to them. Perhaps—and we mention this.that our readers may not lose all hope—as the Church in the south of the island approximates to Popery, the Kirk in the north may recede from it ; and that betwixt the two bodies of priests the public will by and by fall into the flowery and sweet garden of mental inde pendence. The contentions of the clerical bodies, north and south, must in the end have a wholesome influence on the public mind. Sir ROBERT PEEL is the Atlas upon whose shoulders rest the entire weight of the Government. His nominal colleagues can do nothing without him, and when he happens not to be in his place in the House of Commons, which is but seldom, that House presents more the ap pearance of a village school in the absence of the school master, than a grave Legislative Assembly deliberating upon the affairs of a great nation. The Right Hon. Baronet dined at the Palace on Tuesday, and his friends, taking advantage of his absence, got up an enter tainment for the evening, the account of which cannot but delight and edify the country. Mr. CHARLES BULLER quoted the old proverb, " When the cat's away, the mice will play ; " and the House, acting upon it, exhibited a scene of up roar, which was kept up with great spirit till one o'clock yesterday morning. The House of Commons' balcostume— fur Mr. COBDEN tells us the figurantes appeared in white waistcoats and white neckeloths—was opened by that pink of veracity and discretion, Mr. FERRAND, and Dr. BOWRING, and was continued by Lord HOWICK, Lord STANLEY, Mr. T. F. BARING, Mr. WALLACE, Colonel PEEL, Mr. C. BULLER, Mr. COBDEN, and Mr. HumE. Mr. FERRAND, it appears, is a gentleman of extensive foreign travel, for he told the House on Tuesday night that he had been as far abroad as Switzerland. There ho had the good fortune to make the acquaintance of the Mayor of some little town in some small canton, who asked him to dinner ; and, among other funny atter-dinner stories, told him that when Dr. Bowarso was collecting commercial in formation in that country, he refused to receive evidence opposed to his free-trade theories. The Hon. Member for Bolton, with great simplicity, and Lord Howica, with still greater, called hastily for the name of this " high. and mighty Swiss Mayor, who had been giving dinners to, and bandying badinage with, the Hon. Member for Knaresborough, or as its representative will soon baptize it, Knavesborough. The story being the coinage of the fertile brain of the Parliamentary story-teller, no name, of course, was given. It was manufactured to slander a private man in his private and personal character, and an explanation was refused, on the dig nified ground of shielding from the 'fury of the ireful Member for Bolton, one of the most poetical of the off spring of Mr. FERRAND'S teeming imagination—the dinner-giving Mayor of a certain town, in a certain canton of Switzerland. Pity Mr. FERRAND's travels did not extend to Africa, as then he could have named ABD-EL-KADER as his informant, and let Dr. Bow- RING make the most of it. Lord STANLEY spoke as if he were annoyed at the un founded charge made by Mr. FERRAND against the cha racter of Dr. Bowl:a:sic, but in reality he was well pleased with it. The Members of the Government could not appear to be idle, and they knew that it was their master Sir ROBERT PEEL'S pleasure that they should not proceed with the tariff in his absence. Mr. FERRAND as usual was thrust forward to make a diver sion to distract the attention of the House from the im potency of Ministers. Their supporters were glad of a night's sport, and cheered as lustily as if they believed every word uttered by the Harlequin of the agricultu rists. The grave mood in which Dr. BOWRING re pelled the charge, was perhaps excusable in him, but Lord Howtcx's disrelish of so good a juke rather annoys us. Instead of gravely reprimanding Mr. FERRAND forin venting spicy personal anecdotes for the amusement of the House, the Liberals ought to join the Tories . in the more sensible course of laughing at them. The Punch performances in Parliament, are as well worth laugh ing at as the Punch and Judy exhibitions in Seven-Dials. The leading performers in both have a predilection fiur mingling mischief with mirth ; but in extenuation of this cruel practice, it may be pleaded that the blows of one of them never take effect, and that the other cracks only wooden sconces. Of the two we think the Parliamen tary Punch by far the more amusing, because he is always varying his performances. The French Journals devote their columns to comments upon the news brought by the Overland Mail from In dia. In general they take the same view as, or rather they borrow their views from, the London Journals. " A letter from Algiers, May 30, in the Commerce, says— We are without news from the army. Whilst it is march ing in the mountains, our mowers in the plains are frequently exposed to attacks. from the Arabs, and it is impossible to go from Algiers to our nearest camps without a powerful es cort. This shows clearly that we have made no real progress, and that we-have not solved the -problem of security even at our own gates. On the evening of the 27th, great sensation was created here by the visit of the police to the shop of Messrs. Brachet and Bastide, booksellers, where there was posted a placard announcing the publication of a work entitled—"L'Al gerie prise au serieux," with the addition of the words " The destruction of an Arab costs us 33 men and 15,000 francs. " This placard was instantly torn down by the p o li c e. fhe affair of the persons charged with fraud in the supply of the hospitals, &c., has been just concluded. Two employees have been found guilty, and condemned to five years' imprisonment. The following letter from . Tlemcen, 14th ult., is given by the Constitutionnel The Emir is at his last shift—all the money he lavishes can only procure "him a few raw soldiers. Our contingents, on the contrary present a striking contrast, and there is reason to apprehend a gout:het of jealousy among the chiefs who join us. Zinn, the chief of the Beni Amers, who marches with us at the head of 1,000 horse, is a rival of old Mustapha, who shows a resolution to maintain the position of supreme commander of the allies, in which we have placed him. Zinn pretends that he has submitted to the French alone, and will not acknowledge the General of the Douairs and Smelas in any other character than as a friend and fellow counsellor. General Bugeaud, to prevent any collision, keeps Mustapha Ben Ismael with him to assist Lim on his grand expedition, and leaves Zin n w ith th e cor p s ac ti ng i n th e west. The light troops of Abd.el-Kader no longer approach our out•posts and fire upon 'them. At Oued Bommida some of his regulars got surrounded by the Beni Amers, and his Bachi-Schidough was taken prisoner.

The following are the more remark able :—For the Repeal of the Union with Ireland, 147 petitions, with 215,086 signatures ; for Universil SUlT rage, 24 petitions, with 3.,424,134 signatures ; for the Better Obsei•VanCe of the Lord's Day, 67 petitions, with . 1 1 ,`034 signatures, which are far surnaMa by the peti tioners against Maynooth College, e nuer of tkelle t' bio•ots bing not less than 20,348. The inlitber of Petitoners against the liteentle-tak was only 9,218 ; while those agattist th Corn-and Provision-laws were 1,508,413, Only five petitions were presented, in favotir of Church Extension; and we, therefore; 'coilaltide that Sir Robert Inglis and Dr. Chalmers be'gin to admit du t it would be the height 'of erueity to take more money from our over-faxes popalation to put into the coffers of a Church that has an income of at least 9,000,000/. sterling a year. The number ofpetitions against Church Patronage in Scotland were 11, with 1,345 signatures. We are enabled, on the most undoubted authority, to contradict the rumours recently circulated relative to the alleged existence of a misunderstanding between this country and France. No unfriendly or unpleasant official intercourse or correspondence has taken place between the Cabinets of the two countries.—Morn jay Herald. CONTESTED ELECTIONS.—Mr. H. S. Smith, of Leeds, has published a second edition of " The Register of Parliamentary contested Elections," containing also the uncontested elections since 1830. This return of elec tions extends as far back as 1700. In a great portion of the numerous contests he has distinguished the split votes from the plumpers, given the colours of the diffe rent parties, and the number of registered voters at each election since the Reform Bill came into opera tion. Some of the returns under the old borough mongering system have a singular appearance. The number of electors for the city of Edinburgh for instance, containing a population of 160,000, was in 1820 only 28, for the county 128 ; and after the franchise was ex tended, they numbered respectively 6,048 and 1,249. Mr. Pitt stood for Cambridge University first in 1780, when he was defeated, being at the bottom of the poll, but in 1784 he was returned at the head, havintr re ceived 351 votes, and represented the University till his death. The plan altogether is excellent, and the work forms the most complete record of Parliamentary elec tions we have seen. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, WEDNESDAY EVENING. Some purchases in Reduced by the Bank broker cawed an improved feeling in English Securities, and Consols advanced to 91% 918, for the opening ex. div.; Reduced, 91% 91%; Bank Stock, 167% 168%; Exchequer Bills, 47 49 premium.

An improvement is to be noticed in the quotations for the Bonds, but with what legitimate reason it is difficult to ascer tain. Colombian are marked 26* 26%; Peruvian, 18% 19%; Portuguese Five per Cents., 37 37%; the Three per Cents., 214 22i ; Spanish, 22 22% for the Five per Cents., and 2'2 23 for the Three per Cents. A particular class of persons connected with City business are loudly complaining of the new regulation respecting the coinage, namely, the bankers' clerks. The representations made by these gentlemen are worthy of attention, inasmuch as they may be taken as an index o f th e f ee li ng o f ? the commu nity in general. It is stated that the number of unpaid bills now brought back far exceeds what was formerly the case, while their labour in collecting therq was more than doubled ; and this, not arising from commercial embarrasment, but in consequence of the coin provided being short in weight. If this inconvenience be felt by those parties, it has been asked how much more severe sufferers the persons must be who have to provide other money, and lose time in running to a banker's and taking up the bills. (From The Sun of Last Night.) The Bank Broker has again been buying Reduced, which has given a firmness to the market. Consols are 91i for the opening ex-dividend ; Three per Cents. Reduced, 91i, ; Reduced Three-and-a-Half per Cents., 1001 ; Bank Stock, 1671 1.68 k ' • India Bonds, 23 25 ; Ex c h equer Bill s , 46 4 9 prem. Foreign Securities are rather better.

' Shares are in impr o v e d demand, althongh but littl e h as b een done. Business has been confined to Great Western, 87 /38; the Half Shares, 61 61i ; South Western, 63; Manchester and Birmingham, 26i ; Blackwell, 10 ; ;.. The quotations for the Bonds are rather higher ; Colombian, 26i ; Peruvian, 19k ; Portuguese Five per Cents., 37i; the Three per Cents., 22k ; Spaisish Five per Cents., 2171 ; the Three per Cents., 24. Money is ea.y at four per cent. The confusion and annoyance occasioned by the proclamation regarding light sovereigns has materially increased. Private bankers now weigh each piece of coin separately, and not en masse as was formerly the ea.e, and the collecting clerks are furnished with a pair of scales, in order that no money below the specified weight may be taken. Thus far it is merely an hindrance to business, but several instances have oc curs ed of serious loss ; one party, upon examinghis banker's hook discovered that nearly 30s. had been deducted for deficiency in the weight of between two and three hundred sovereign's, which had been paid in the day previously, and many others have oc curred in which a large portion of those tendered had been re turned. It is urged that the Government should adopt some method by which these inconveniences may be removed, since, although they now chiefly fall on the merchant and banlier, in a short time they will reach the small tradesmen, who are little able to afford the loss of time or money which must be sustained.

Earl de Grey was re-elected President, and the Bishop of Salisbury, Sir John Cam Hobhouse, Robert Gordon, Esq., and Joseph Neild, Esq., M.P., Vice-Presidents. Mr. Alexander and Mr. Britton were continued as Honorary Secretaries, and the Dean of Hereford, with Henry Merick Hoare, Esq., were added to the Council. A " opographieal History of the Pari)h of Grittleton," by the Rev. J. E. Jackson, with six illustrations, was ordered to be printed, and the Histories of " Kington, Langley, and Christian-.Malford," were reported to be so far advanced, as to be ready for publication before the ensuing Christmas. Collections for other parishes were de scribed to be in various stages of progress. An increase of members was announced, and the funds of the :Society de scribed to be equal to the payments for the publications in pro gress, and a surplus to invest in Government securities. THE UNEMPLOYED.—During the last week there have been several large meetings of a portion of the unem ployed in the Green, where the causes of their present dis tress, and the best mode of a ll ev i a ti ng i t, have been amply dis cussed. At a meeting of this kind on Thursday, it was resolved that, on the following day, they should proceed en masse to the city, for the purpose of soliciting charity. On Friday fore noon, accordingly, several hundreds o f t h em assembled at the Royal Exchange, with the view, it a pp ears, of commencing their tour of mendicancy through the city, by so li c i t i ng assistance from the gentlemen who attend the room. A benevolent gentleman, whose sympathies were excited by the appearance of to many of his fellow -creatures seeking bread, resolved on spending a sum of money for the purchase of loaves, and proceeded, acc ompan i ed b the igreater portion of the unemployed, to a baker' s shop in rgle street, where he bought a number of loaves, and handed them out to the crowd, by whom they were greedily accepted. At pre sent about 4,000 rations of soup and bread are distributed daily ; 300 persons aro employed at labour, either in breaking stones or levelling a piece of ground on the Milton estate, near to the Lunatic Asylum. To-day an additional number will be set to these out-door employments, and about 200 webs will be given out for idle hand-loom weavers, thus extending the means of employment to 600 men. Even this will not meet the evil, but, through the exertions of the Committee, it is hoped that additional work will be speedily provided for the greater number of the unemployed.— Glasgow Argus. . The land-rail, or corn-crake is frequently heard at this season of the year. in the vicinity of Leicester, even as near to the town as the fields adjoining the New Walk and Oc cupation Road; -but though many persons, are anxious to see the bird, few succeed in doing so. It usually runs amongst the long grass, seldom flying, and then only for a short distance. It is shy and cunning. Mr. Jesse says :---" A gentleman hid a corn-crake briught to him by his dog, to all appearance dead. As ielann the ground be turned it with his foot, and was convinced that 'it yr* dead. Standing by, however, .in sileuce.le -sud denly sawit open an eye. He then took it up; its head felt, i ts l egs h un . ' loose, and it appe are d again quite dead. He then put it into his pocket, and befor e long he felt it all alive, and struggling to escape. He then took it out ; it was as lifeless as before. Having laid it again upon the ground, and retired to some distanCe, the' bird in about five minutes warily raised its head, looked around, and decamped at full speed, " —Leicester Mercury. SUMMARY OF NEWS AND epttitott. may read." POREIGN. The session bf the French Chamber df Deputies is nosy vir tually at an end, ind it is expected that the labours of the Chamber of Peers will terminate in the course of a few days. Several of the journals state that the Chambers will be for mally closed on the 13th, that the ordonnance of dissolution will be published on the 14th, and the general election take place on the 9th of July. By Art. 42 of the Charter, the new Chambers must meet within three months of the date of the ordonnance of dissolution. Their Royal Highnesses the Dukes of Orleans and Nemours arrived at Brussels on Saturday afternoon. A grand dinner was given in honour of their visit. The Franc Parleur of Verdun says :—" The Dukes of Orleans and Nemours are ex pected to be at Luxembourg on the Bth or 9th inst. They will return direct by Longuy and Verdun, without visiting Metz. They are expected at Verdun on the 15th or 16th. Their review of the troops will be very short, as they do not come as Inspecting Generals, but as Princes of the Blood Royal." A letter from Philippeville, May 24, in the Semaphore of Marseilles, states that the column under the orders of Comman dant Montauban, consisting of 500 infantry and 114 cavalry, defeated, on the 21st, a body of 4,000 Bedouins, who had attacked the camp of El-Elarouche on the road to Constantina. 300 of the Arabs were ki led, but the French had only an officer and sergeant slightly wounded. A letter from Algiers, in the Toulonnais, states that the 83 prisoners of Abd-el-Kader are indebted for their liberation to a Corsican, who hus been a spy of all parties, and who used his influence with Abd-el-Kader on this occasion, in the hope of re-entering the good graces of the French Government, with the understanding, however, that he was to be said 100,000 f. for his exertions. The Madrid Gazette of the 30th ult. publishes the Royal Ordonnance, promulgating the law authorising the emission of 160 millions of reals, Treasury Bills. This decree was coun tersigned by the New Minister of Finance, Senor Don Antonio Maria del Valle. A second decree appoints the Commission charged to examine the propositions of capitalists respecting the payment of the interest of the Three per Cent. debt. The Swabian Mercury states that the King of Prussia, after the military parades and manceuvres of the autumn, will set out for Russia, accompanied by the Prince Royal. The King's second son, Prince Charles, will be charged with the Government during his absenc?, which willlast only three weeks. A Smyrna letter of the 19th ult. says :—" The Archipelago is swarming with pirates. Not long ago an Austrian sloop captured a large three-mast Greek vessel engaged in mai•aud ing, and a few days since a French brig of war on this station went out en a cruise, in co.isequence of intelligence that a merchantman bound for Marseilles with a cargo of oil, and 200,000 piastres, had been stopped by pirates." PARLIArVIENTA.RY. The Lords did not meet yesterday. Sir R. Inglis in the Commons, resented a petition from Nottingham, for the issue of the wr►t for that place, and gave notice that he will to-night make a motion to that effect. The Manslaughter Bill was thrown out, the Government objecting to give the Coroners the power of releasing on bail. The chief business of the evening was the tariff. On the proposal to levy a duty of 51. on India cotton, Mr. Mangles objected. The duty was carried by 56 to 42. The duty on cotton-wool was objected to by Dr. Bowring, who was supported by Mr. Mark Philips, Mr. Brotherton, Mr. Wilson, Mr. Buller, and others. It was supported by Mr. Gladstone, who was quite the locum tenens of sir R. Peel for the night. It was not possible, he said the Government could give up such a sum as the duty involved, 640,0001., and the Committee decided by 97 to 44, that it was better the people should be idle and starve than the Government should want funds. The duty on sheep wool was objected to by Mr. C. Wood, who was ably supported by Mr. Beckett, the Tory Member for Leeds, but Mr. Gladstone had the same argument to defend it ; the insatiable wants of the Government, and the Com mittee decided in the case by 122 to 65, that the Government must have the tax though the people perish. A second division took place on the wool duty, which was also carried in favour of the Government by 96 to 47. Schedule No. 12 was pasted, and the House adjourned at a Quarter past One o'Clock. PUBLIC IMPROVEMENTS. It is proposed, that as her iiajesty has granted a tract of ground tof orm a park in the east of London, it would add to the further enjoyment and comfort of the inhabitants if public baths were attached to it; the Regent's and Sir Ueorge Duckett's Canals afford every facility for an abundant supply of water.

The term is applicable to the Tuesday and Thursday at Epsom, to the Wednesday and Friday at Ascot and Doncaster ; and there was nothing in the proceedings yesterday to vary its received charactek. The sport, ilthinigh of first rate excellence, did net . eiteite aqy inter6t liefoltd the filth - lib - A; The company was thin, and the stanas, one only excepted; iiefe Op'eried to almost empty benches.

It is to be wished, noweVer, that the Ceremony of clearing the course may not be attempted until after the Queen has passed up it. On the first day, by compelling the people to keep outside the rails, not only during the passage a the royal carriages up the dotirse i but after the Trial Plate was run, many hundreds who were anxiously waiting to welcome her Majesty, were not even aware of her arrival, until apprised of it by the cheering in the immediate vicinity of the Royal and Grand Stands. '1 his un looked for innovation was the only drawback upon one of the most brilliant Tuesdays ever seen at Ascot. The following is a brief sketch of yesterday's running : The Swinley Stakes of 25 sovs. each, 15 ft.., for 3 yrs, 7st 41b ; 4 yrs, Bst. 101 b ; fillies, &c. allowed 31b. Last mile and a half. 111 r.

Barrier made the running at a steady pace, followed by Hydaspes, Auckland third, and the Plerupo: tentiary colt about two lengths in his rear. 't speed and places continued thus to the distance, where Hydaspes gave way, and Auckland took his °ace in attend ance on Barrier. At the ha'f-distance, they closed, and made so brilliant and close a finish, that until the Judge had awarded the victory to the Honourable Member for Dublin, by a head, it was impossible to say which had won.

CRICKET. MARYLEBONE CLUB V. THE UNIVERSITY OF cAmaßznor '1 his return twitch, which has excited such interest in the sporting world, and particularly among the members of the Universities, was on Tuesday decided in favour of the Mary lebone gentlemen, by their winning the match in one innings, and with forty-three runs to spare, after two days' beautiful and scentific play. '1 he inclo'uru oaf Monday, as well as on Tuesday, was crowded with amateurs of this popular game. Amongst the noblemen and gentlemen on the ground, we noticed the Earl of March (President of the Marylebone Club), the Earl of Verulam, Lord F. Beauclerk, Lord W. Beresford, Lord Gardner, Sir J. Bayley, Sir Hume Campbell, the Hon. S. Montague, the Hon. R. Grimstone, the lion. S. Ponsonby, and the Hon. F. Ponsenby. It will be seen that both elevens differ from the list of players we published on Monday, Hillyer, a professional, being substi• tuted on the Marylebone side for Sir Frederick Bathurst, whose absence was unavoidable, and Nicholson, Esq., and Massey, Esq., for the Earl of Aboyne, and G. F. Bentinek, Esq. In the University , eleven, H. Vivian, Esq., W. Trevelyan, Esq., and R. Barker, Esq., were re presented by W. De St. Croix, Esq., Hartopp, Esq., and Druce, Esq. The Marylebone side went in first, and the betting, in consequence of their previous success, was all in their favour. They cleared, as will be seen from the subjoined score, no less than two hundred and six runs, nut of which Mr. Bailey made fifty, including two fives, three fours, and three threes; Mr. Taylor thirty-eight, comprising a six, seven twos, and a three ; and Mr. Kynaston thirty-six, scoring among other fine hits, two threes, two fours, and four twos. The batting of these gentlemen was much admired; indeed they are three of the best wickets of the club. The Cantabs, in their first innings, ob tained only SO runs, the batting and fielding of their adversaries being very effective. Mr. Taylor and Hillyer, by their style of bowling, lowered the wickets of the Cantabs in rapid suc cession. Mr. French, however, batted well, likewise Mr. Pickering, the former clearing thirty-two in his first innings, including a four, and six threes, and the latter, in his second innings, of seventeen, out of which he got two fours and a three. The batting of Messrs. De St. Croix and Dewing was also of a superior order. In consequence of the innings of the Cantabs being 100 runs less than those of the Marylebone gen • tiemen, they were, according to the laws of the game, com pelled to go in for their second innings, which they did, and only exceeded their former score by three runs.

TREATMENT OF CRIMINALS.-Sir Peter Laurie, in refusing an application on Tuesday, respecting a prisoner, mentioned that Francis, who is in Newgate for shooting at the Queen, had applied to him to be indulged with a mattress, which he had refused, telling Francis that he need not look for any better treatment than the Poor es t man i n t h e gao l .

At the expiration of two years from the introduc tion of the Penny Postage, Mr. Rowland engagement with the Government will have expired.

GMRMAN OPERA. cid I/22N T. GARDEN THEATRE. Herr Areiting, the tiers German tenor singer, made his first appearance on thiS c atage list evening, in Dleyerbeer's Opera of Robert the Devil, Heft Areiting of contle taking the part 01 Robert. Herr Breiting possessFs d very powerful tenor vc.irtp, almost approaching in quality to a baryttere, scarcely so rich and mellow as Braham's, but of equal power. 'the imality of his voice and his style of sing ng, reminded us strongly of DM, zelli. Ills falsetto is of exquisite sweetness, and like all tenors who hive a sweet falsetto, he is exceedingly fond of intro ducing falsetto notes ; sometimes, as it struck us unnecessarily. He is an excellent musician, and has cultivated his voice to the utmost of its capabilities. Utir readers may judge of the immense power and strength of his voice from the fact that throughout the opera, perhaps the most trying for the principal tenor that ever was composed, Herr Breiting never once flagged. His finale was given with all the power of voice and mellowness of tone of his opening scene, and throughout the opera he did full justice to every piece that was a signed him ; there was no saving up of power, no slovening over of one part in order to reserve strength for a particular acena. It was throughout an equal and a powerful performance. He was loudly applauded, and in the eel brated dicing scene, at the conclusion of the first act, his solo was rapturously en cored. We hail the arrival of Herr Breiting as hav ing put an end to the dynasty of feeble tenors which has hitherto held the sway at this theatre. In person Herr Breiting is hardly fitted for a hero, and his action is rather awkward, and occasionally outre. Those who re member what Braham was twenty years aga, cannot but be struck with the resemblance, figure, and hi , .ttionie powers, which Breiting bears to him. He was called for at the con clusion of the performance, and received with all the hAsours. Staudigl was the Bertram, and acted the part as he only could do. We know not whether to admire Staudi7,l most as a singer or as an actor. Madame Stoeckel Heinefetter d.d full justice to the exquisite music of the part of Alice, and Madame Sehodel had a full opportunity for exhibiting the great compass of her voice in the part of the Princess, of which she knew well how to avail herself. Both the ladies were rapturously applauded. 'the part of Raimund is a small part, but it was made of importance by the beautiful singing of Herr &bresch. His duet with Staudigl, at the opening of the second act was one of the gems of the opera. The voices har. monised beautifully. It is a work of supererogation to speak in praise of the German choruses, or band. We c,snnot close this notice without bestowing onr sawed of approbation upon the Ballet. Miss Bailin, as Helena, was most fascinating. The house was exceedingly well filled. The pit was a bumper, from the commencement. DR. ELIMITSoN WC - THE PHRE NOLOGICAL _DEVELOPMENT AND CHA RACTER OF GOOD THE MURDERER. TO THE EDITOR OF THE " MEDICAL TIMES." Sir,—laving readily obtained the kind permission of the senior Sheriff to take a cast of the head of Good, the lately executed criminal, I sent a very able workman, named Casci, residing at No. 3, llarford buildings, Drury-lane, for that purpose. Mr. Casci is at liberty to sell copies of the cast to any person, and I believe they may be obtained either at his house, or that of his master, Brucciani, Little Russell - street, Drury-lane. I was not present when the cast was taken; but, while the head was being shaved, I pointed out its bad development, remarking that the sides of the head, at covetiveness, destructiveness, and cunning, were coming into view of very large size. Of Good's guilt there can be no doubt. His pro mise of the victim's clothes so long beforehand to another woman, his inability after his condemnation to direct to the matchman of whom he spoke, tell powerfully against him. The Chaplain of the prison repeatedly asked him, after his condemnation, why, if he was innocent, he did not say he was a murdered man, since he would be fully justified in such a decla ration ? But this he could never be brought to say. When he lived at Clapham he once set fire to the bed in which his wife lay ill, in order to terrify her. I have heard proofs of his being a passionate man. His facility of lying was evinced by his assurance to the excellent Governor of Newgate, who fancied he re cognised him, that he had never been in prison before under another name, though he .had been there under the name of Sullivan, convicted of a robbery. He had been twice convicted of a robbery ; once of ar ticles from the boots of a public coach ; once of ar ticles which he seized from the hall of a gentleman's house, ..while waiting with his carriage for his mas ter's family; who were there at an evening party. He took the opportunity, when no servant was in the hall, of making a dash at coats, cloaks, and a•shawl worth 40 guineas, all which he deposited in the carriage. He was sentenced to transportation; but a gentleman with whom - he had lived, and whom he had waited upon most attentively in an infectious disease, when every other servant feared to approach the gentleman, pleaded for him, and he was sent to the Penitentiary. 'During the last fire but one which broke out in that building, he was so useful that his sentence was re mitted, and he was set at liberty. In Newgate his conduct was always gentle and respectful ; whatever was wished of him he did ; no prisoner ever gave less trouble. His conduct to his superiors seems always to have been very respectful and obliging. His strong desire of approbation and notice was also shown in speeches to the Sheriff, Chaplain, and Governor, during their last interview with him ; in the letters he dictated full of civil things to various persons; and in his attempt to address the crowd while the cap was lathing over his face • in his rising at the end of the •orvice on the preceding day, and raising his turns :aid God-blessing the congregation, just as he God blessed the athlence at the close of bis trial ; and in his unexpected speech in his own defend after his I..4mnsel had concluded. After his condemnation, he .vas constantly expressing a hope that on the dav iris execution it would be a fine morning. He was :mxious not to wear the prison clothes, especially at the time 'of the condemned sermon and his execution ; and on the last morning he carefully spread the ends of his white cravat over his blue checked shirt, in order to conceal it. Of his sexual propensity we have sufficient proof. He confessed to having been a very bad man. He heard his sentence unmoved. his firmness of the denial of murder did not forsake him even at the last. His protestations of inno cence of blood-guiltiness were strenuous. He could put up _ with a bad character in other respects, provided he was not regarded as a murderer. He was passionately fond of his son. At the last interview the boy was unwilling to approach him and shake hands with him, but Good violently embraced the buy ;- made him sit down and read a psalm to him, being himself unable to either read or write ; and, on the child leaving him, fell upon his knees and prayed for him, and looked after him at the door of his cell as long as he was in sight. Of his caution and cunning we have abundant proofs. His want of intellect appeared in everything. Cunning enough he was, but he evidently had a miserable un derstanding. His idea that his protestations of inno- • cence would be believed ; that his flatteries would be valued ; that his displays for notice would redound to his credit; his constant desire that the morning of execution would be fine ; in short, his whole conduct prove him to have been deficient in intellect, though full of cunning. His head is in strict accordance with Gall's disco- • verim It is a head of very limited understanding iiid.moral feelings, and intense animal feelings. The portion devoted to intellect is very small, ex ceedingly narrow. The breadth steadily augments in a striking manner from the sides of The forehead to the parts above the car. We have only to place a pair of compasses above the ears, where Destructive ness or Cunning lie, and then bring them forwards, to see the great difference. .The breadth of the fore head is 4} inches, but the part over the ears is more than 6 inches. This, and the parts of the sides above, together with the back of the head, corre sponding to portions of the brain in which reside the feelings equally supplied to brutes as to man, are of great size. A considerable portion of the crown of the head, where the higher -moral feelings are placed, is narrow, and slopes off at the sides, as it usually does in unscrupulous persons. The cW,"*an which gives refinement of feeling, called in England Ideality, is. as in other low criminal:, very small. The .whole head is rather small, being but 22 inches in circus.-. Terence; and its circumference would not have been o great, but that the organ of Parental Love is of unusual magnitude. Courvoisier's cast was above 23 inches in circumference. But for the great prepon derance of the feelings in which the brute is equal to ;Ilan, over the intellectual and higher moral faculties, the head would have been exceedingly small.

Dr. Buckland, the geologist, at his last lecture, informed his audience that he considered the Box-tunnel, as well as se. veral others, to be in a dangerous state, and that if they were not arched with mason-work throughout, he was certain that at some period, not far distant, a serious fall will take place. Captain Basil Hall, with the ladies and children of his family, have completed then• tour to Thebes, Syria, the River Jordan, and the Red Sea, and are now proceeding to Greece and Con stantinople. ELECTIONEERING. The nomination for is expected to take place next Monday. Mr. Harris, it is thought, will be the Liberal candidate, and Mr. Colquheun the Conservative. s~OET=lu'~:. The cricket match between the ilarylebone Club and the University of Cambridge, which has excited so much interest, was decided in Lord's Ground on Tuesday in favour of the Mary lebone players, by their winning the match in one innings, and with forty-three runs to spare. The enclosure, both on Mon day and Tuesday, was crowded with Noblemen and Gentlemen who seemed highly delighted with the game. The Earl of Verulatn's thorough-bred stock ; Lord Maid stone's stud of '2O valuable hunters, well known in Leicester shire and Warwickshire; and the Duke of Grafton's stud of 30 hunters, were all sold at Tattersall's last Monday. MAAIsnXCAL. Madame Leplus, the actress, better known in this country as the lively' and celebrated Jenny Colon, died in Paris last Sun day, at her residence, the INeuve t:es CO if The birthday of the Duke of Devonshire was celebrated on Monday last. Ihe Marquis and Marchioness of Downshire left town on Monday last for Easthampton Park, Berks, where the 1\ oble Marquis receives a large party during Ascot Races. We understaud the preliminaries are already arranged for a marriage between Lady Mildred Cecil, eldest daughter of the Marquis of Salisbury, and Mr. Alexander Hope, youngest son of Viscountess Bereeford. Lord and Lady Sherborne entertained at dinner on Tuesday the Duchess of Gleucester, and other members of the Royal Family. The French Ambassador and the Countess St. Au'aire re turn to Manchester -house on Thursday. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. It seems as if this season would prove to the Italians, what must often have been suspected, that their real strength lies in the Opera Buffa. Already, we believe, the old opera of Le Cantatriei Vi llani, bedizened out with a bit of Betty, had proved their most successful revival, and 11 Barbiere di b'ivig ha, as produced on Tuesday night, promises to be a greater favourite still. Lablache is such a tower of strength in comic opera. True he is a great tragic artist, but it is in the comic, where he is exuberant in his mirth, where he flings out all sorts of odd conceits, that we feel he thoroughly enjoys himself, and that he diffuses enjoyment all round. His son Frede , is is not without humour; he threw much life and animation into the Barbierc, his first spring on the stage was characteristic:; his " Largo al factotum " trippingly sung, but his was not a strong version of the part. Pk rsiani, with her sly reserve, is a great actress in the Opera Buffa. She can coquet so well with a glance—she can enjoy mischief so quietly. The audi- ence were loud in their applause last night at her fine execu tion in " Una voee poco fa," and altogether her Rosina was a triumph. Ronconi's Basilio was decidedly better played than any part he has acted yet, and he is evidently a humorous co med►an, though an ungraceful tragedian. The opera went off so as to satisfy the most sanguine expectations. COURT CIRCULAR.

NEW GUNS IN WAR STEAIVI The late experiments at Woolwich, and the foit r • ing ones at Deal, for the purpose of testing the*. . .. ority of the new guns, excite just now consider .
