IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT. 110 . 135 E OF LORDS-(YESTERDAY.) The LORD CRANCRLLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. Earl CLANCARTY presented a petition from three parishes in Sussex against the use of dogs in drawing carts. The LORD CHANCELLOR presented a petition from the royal burghs of Scotland against the bill for as similating the bankruptcy law of Scotland to that of Eng land, and praying for no alteration in the law until the most ample inquiry by a commission similar to that which had been appointed in England. Lord BROUGHAM had reason to believe that the mercantile classes in Scotland were generally in favour of the proposed alterations. INCOME TAX BILL. On the motion for the third reading of this bill, The Marquis of CLANRICARDE did not intend to oppose the third reading of the bill at its present ad vanced stage, but there was one point on which nothing was said during the debate last night, and with reference to which he thought the house ought to have some expla nation from the Government—viz., what were the other finaneial plans to be proposed before the close of the ses sion? The Government had announced aloan, the tenders for which were now in the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer. This was to be repayable in three instalments —in 1858, 1859, and 1860. The present income-tax would reach its minimum point in 1857, and would alto gether expire in 1860, and accordingly additional bur dens would be thrown on the country just in those years in which the people expected to be relieved of a portion of the income tax. This loan was, moreover, in direct contravention of the understanding en which the income tax was agreed to last session. The Earl of GRANVILLE said, as the Chancellor of the Exchequer would next week submit a financial statement to the other house, it would be utterly im possible for him now to go into any details upon the measures which the Government intended to submit to Parliament. The Earl of MALMESBURY considered that if the Government had been sufficiently warned by their agents abroad they would have made more prompt and more satisfactory financial arrangements. The Duke of ARGYLL deprecated the discussion as irregular. So far from the correspondence in posses sion of the Government leading them to believe in war, if the Emperor of Russia had adhered to the declara tions he had made there would have been no war at all. After a few words from the Marquis of SALISBURY, Lord BROUGHAM expressed an earnest hop e if such a pernicious tax as th at on i ncome was necessary it would last no longer than the war. The bill, after some further discussion, was read a third time. CHIMNEY SWEEPERS' BILL. On the order of the day for going into committee on this bill, The Earl of CLANCARTY said he was present on the day when the bill was introduced, namely, the 28th of March, but he was not aware of its introduction or he should have asked in what respect it differed from the bill of last year. He had been surprised, too, to find that he was appointed a member of the select commit tee, which had reported in favour of the bill. He was not in the country at the time when the committee was nominated, and he thought the noble earl who had charge of the bill (the Earl of Shaftesbury) must have been aware of his absence. As regarded the bill itself, it purported to extend the provisions of the 3d or 4th Viet.; but the clauses were so ambiguous as to be on that ac count, if on no other, highly objectionable. The object of the noble earl was, he believed, to put a stop altoge ther to the practice of sending climbing boys up chimneys. The act of Victoria made it penal to employ for that purpose " any child''—such was the expression—" un der 21 years of age ;" but the truth was that that act had, as regarded a large portion of the country, proved impracticable. The noble earl stated in introducing the bill, that notwithstanding the act there were no less than 4,000 climbing boys. Surely that fact showed how difficult such legislation was. In the evidence taken before the select committee last year it was stated that there were many chimneys which could not be swept without the aid of manual labour. Under these cir cumstances, he would suggest that the Government, be fore allowing the provisions of the act to be extended, should institute some inquiry. Regulations with regard to such a matter came rather within the province of the government than of any private individual. What he would recommend the government to do was, to issue a commission to inquire into the operation of the present law, and to report what measures were necessary to place the law on a satisfactory footing. He entirely washed his own hands of this bill, although, for the rea sons which he had mentioned, he stood before their lordships as having reported in its favour. The Earl of SHAFTESBURY said if the noble earl had attended to his duties in parliament instead of wan dering about, he would have had no occasion to make the remarks he had done. (Laughter.) He had no desire to do anything that could be considered unfair. In order to avoid personalities, he proposed that the select committee should consist of the same members that served last year, and two noble lords opposite hav ing consented to serve he thought it best to insert the name of the noble earl. After a few words from the Earl of CLANCARTY, the house went into committee. Clause 1 was agreed to with verbal amendments. The remaining clauses were agreed to and the bill was reported. The Marquis of BREADALBANE said there were some chimneys which it would be impossible to clean without boys. The Duke of ARGYLL said he understood there were no chimneys in existence which, by opening traps, might not be cleaned by machines. MINISTERS' MONEY (IRELAND) BILL. This bill passed through committee. POOR-LAW REMOVAL BILL. Lord BERNERS presented a petition from the guar dians of the union of Cosford, in Suffolk, praying that the law of settlement and removal might be repealed, that an act might be passed under which the poor would be entitled to receive relief in the places of their resi dence, and that all the rateable property of the country might he made chargeable in an equal degree with the expenses which would thereby be incurred. The noble lord took the opportunity of asking what steps her Majesty's Government were prepared to take to remedy the evils complained of in the petition, also whether they proposed to include the Irish and Scotch poor-law system in their measure upon the subject, and whether they intended to relieve real estate of any portion of the burden at present levied ou such property exclusively under the head of poor-rates ? The Earl of ABERDEEN said that the Government proposed by a bill, which they had already introduced into the other house, to abolish the present law of set tlement and removal. But the subject having become complicated by its connection with the state of the Irish and Scotch poor, it had been found advisable to refer the measure to a select committee of the House of Com mons. That a committee had, he believed, been ap pointed that very day. From the nature of the inquiries, however, into which it would be their duty to enter, he feared that it would be impossible to pass any enact ment in the course of the present session upon the ques tion referred to their consideration. The Government wished to extend the area of the poor-law taxation, but they did not contemplate the imposition of a national rate, and they did not propose to effect any change in the description of property which is at present liable to the maintenance of the poor. Lord REDESDALE moved a resolution to the effect that the house should not read any bill a second time after Tuesday the 25th of July, except bills of aid or supply, or bills which the house should have declared before the second reading to be of such ur g ency or im portance that it was necessary they should be immedi ately proceeded with. The Earl of ABERDEEN said ho had no objection to offer to the resolution, which might, he believed, be adopted with safety, and even with advantage, for the present session at least. - Lord BEA.UMONT opposed the resolution. He saw no reason why the house should fetter its discretion to deal with a bill at any period it might think proper. After a few words from Lord REDESDALE, the resolu• ton was agreed to. PUBLIC BUSINESS. Lord REDESDA.LE moved - 2 -" That this house will not read any bill a second time after Tuesday the 25th of July, except bills of aid or supply, o r an y b i ll i n re l a ti on to which the hol:issiih have resolved, before the se cond readingmoved, that tb e c i rcumstances w hi c h render legi s l a ti on on i subject matt er o f th e same ex pedient, ar e e ith er of such recent occurrence or increased urgency as to render the immediate consideration of the said bill necessary." The noble lord proceeded to ex plain the object and tendency of his r eso l ut i on, b ut h a d a few not uttered more th an sentences when the gas lights suddenly went out, leaving the he hou se i n d ar k ness. continued his remar k s as if Nevertheless, the noble lord o nothing had happened but of course impossiblebility to do for the reporters to take notes, and their was a were so was not much lessened when a few ndles brought and placed on the table of the house. lapse of a fe w minutes t he gas - lights flared Alter the lapse e . s s e_ - denly as they h ad g one out, but i t w as otilya " gleam, for in a n instant the house was again, p"*l7 lun ge d in that state of darkness visible which was produced by the candles on the table. The noble lord, nothing disconeerted,.propeeded with his statement, addressing his observations to the Lord Chancellor, whose snowy • wig was just visible in the gloom, and was remarking that the effect of his resolution would be to expedite the public business, shorten the duration of the session, and enable their lordships togive more discussion to bills sent up from the other house than they had hitherto done, when the gas was again t urned on, burning with a steady blaze till the house rose. The Earl of ABERDEEN said the same complaint which the noble lord now made be had heard ever since he had b e en is Parliament, and he was afraid there must be some very great difficulty in the way of remedying the evil, since after the multitude of complaints that had been made it still remained unrernedied. However, the attempt made by the noble lord might produce some effect. He did not feel very sanguine as to its success ; but he thought their lordships might safely adopt the resolution, at least as an experiment, and they should see what effect it would produce in the course of the present I session. He thought its tendency would be to expedite the progress of bills in the House of Commons, and thereby to give their lordships more time to consider such measures as might be placed before them. The qualifications which the no bl e l ord had introduced were not only just, but absolutely necessary. Otherwise he was not sere how far it would be right or competent for the house t' name arbitrarily & day, after which they would not proceed to consider public measures of im portance. However, without being sanguine as to the effect of the resolution, he thought the object was a good I one ; and as he understood that several influential mem bers of the House of Commons took the same view as the noble lord did, he would be sorry to oppose any obstaele to a fair trial of the experiment in the present session. Lord BEAUMONT hoped their lordships would not agree to the motion. That they should say beforehand that after the 25th of July they should then and there stop the whole Parliamentary business of the country, appeared to him to be almost unconstitutional. Parlia ment was supposed to be sitting continually, and if the House of Commons sent up a bill to their lordships after the 25th of July, they were bound to take it into con sideration, though of course they were at perfect liberty to postpone it, to pass it, or to reject it, just as they thought proper. The motion seemed to him to cast a reflection upon the House of Commons, while its object appeared to be to enable their lordships to evade their duties as Peers of Parliament, in order that they might enjoy the summer months in the country. Lord REDESDALE said that, so far from his motion Laing unconstitutional, it only carried out a standing order of the house passed in 1688. Of course, he tended it as a sessional order only. The motion was then agre e d t o . PRINTED moved PAPERS. ththe appointment Lord GRANVILLE of a select committee to consider the sub' t jec of printing papers for the house.—Agreed to. The house adjourned at 8 o'clock. HOUSE OF COMMONS—{YESTERDAY.) - The SPEAJOIR took the chair at 4 o'clock, and there being only 36 members present, the house adjourned until to-morrow. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. BETTING AT MANCHESTER-TUESDAY. There was a crowded room this morning, but specu lation was for the most on the Two Thousand Guineas, decided to-day. At intervals there was a little done on the Chester Cup and Derby as follows : ONE THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES. 6to 4 agst Virago (taken and offered). 3to 1 agst Omoo (taken). 7 to 2 agst Sortie (taken). 6to 1 agst Honeysuckle (taken).

There was a strong muster in the subscription-room until nearly midnight, but business was on a very limited scale. In fact, a duller night previous to the race for the Two Thousand we never experienced. This might be attributed in a great measure to the extraordinary circumstance that not one of the horses in the betting for the Two Thousand was at less than 40 or 50 to 1 for the Derby. At the commencement even money was betted agst Boiardo, and Ruby declined to 7 to 2 ; the closing quo tations were 6 to 5 on the former, and 3 to 1 taken about the latter. Alembic was backed for a small amount at 8 to 1 ; 6 to 4 betted on him agst Middlesex, and 1,000 to 6 laid agst his winning the Two Thousand and Derby Champagne and Physalis colt were at 30 to 1 each. CHESTER CUP. 12 to 1 agst Newminster (offered). 1000 to 60 agst Sandhurst (taken). 1000 to 50 agst Aldford (taken). 30 to 1 agst Joe Miller (taken). 33 to 1 agst Catspaw (taken). 1000 to 20 agst Acrobat (1000 to 15 also laid). 1000 to 15 aget Umbriel (taken twice).

Fact led to the dip, where he was joined by Spinaway, and a fine race ensued, the latter winning rather cleverly by a neck. The Two THOUSAND GUINEAS STAKES, a subscription of 100 sovs. each, h ft, for three-yr-olds ; colts, Bst 71b ; and fillies, Bst 41b. The owner of the second horse to receive back his stake.

Betting-5 to 4on Boiardo, 3to 1 agst Ruby, 10 to 1 agst Alembic, 12 to 1 each agst Middlesex and Hermit. Champagne started with the lead, but after proceeding about two hundred yards the running was taken up by Rodo-Meli, Boiardo and Physalis colt lying up, with Hermit, Middlesex, Champagne, and Muscovado well together, Alembic and Ruby on the extreme left. Soon after passing the T.Y.C. winning post, Rodo-Meli began to drop off, and Middlesex, Champagne, and Boiardo took close order in front ; Hermit, who had been run ning somewhat slowly, was now seen to mend his pace and to draw towards them. In the Abingdon Mile Bot tom his colours were distinctly displayed in the van, and gallopping on, amidst the enthusiastic cheers of the " fielders," he achieved the victory cleverly by half a length. Ruby was beaten early. Champagne finished about a length and a half behind the second, beating Boiardo by a short head. The judge did not, however, place a third. Alembic and Rodo-Meli were the next two. Physalis colt, Ruby, and Muscovado, beaten off, passed the chair in the order named. Value of the stakes, 2,7001.

Even money was then betted on Guy Manner ing. Guy Mannering made the running, Oxus lying second, to halfway in the cords, where he was passed by Sabra, who made a resolute effort, but could not quite get up, and was at last beaten by a length. A length and a half between the second and third. Bad fourth. HANDICAP SWEEPSTAKES of 10 sovs each ; for three-yr olds and upwards. First half of Ab. M. 8 subs.

As the race for the Two Thousand drew near, great anxiety was manifested to ascertain the number of start ers, and to catch a glimpse of them as they proceeded, " saddled and mounted," from the Ditch Stables. Horsemen rode hither and thither, and business in the ring was carried on with increased activity. The result of the race was a fortunate coup for the "Fielders ;" Hermit, at 12 to 1 at starting, achieved success ; whilst Middlesex, also at 12 to 1, succeeded in saving his stake, by defeating Champagne for second place ; the latter, against whom 30 to 1 was laid overnight, finishing a head in advance of Boiardo, the leading favourite, on whom sto 4 was laid freely. Ruby, the second favourite, was beaten off early. Just before the race was run the weather cleared up, and the remainder of the afternoon was tolerably bright and pleasant. In the course of the afternoon 1,000 to 20 was taken about The Trapper for the Derby. boardman. It was thought, however, so far to concern the public that a public apology was called for. There wa:-; no vindictive feciiaig against the defendant, ~ , nd if now made a similar apology to the one contained in the letter, his (Mr. Hewitt's) instructions were to withdraw from the prosecution. The defendant said he was prepared to do so. In a moment of intemperance he had supplied the eggs to the boys, and he hoped the case would be allowed to drop. Mr. Broderip—The case is at an end, and I can only say that I hope no more of such unseemly scenes will take place. The patties then withdrew. MARLBOROUGH-STREET.— Walte r Pigeon, cab driver, was summoned before Mr. Bingham, charged with having damaged, by negligent driving, a horse and brougham, the property of Lord Adolphus Vane. John Sheldrake, groom to Lord A. Vane, said on Monday week, about 11 o'clock at night, he was driving a horse and brougham, when he turned out of Brick lane into Park-lane at a walking pace. Defendant was driving a Hansom cab, and coming along on his right side at the rate of nine or ten miles an hour. Com plainant called out to the defendant to stop, but the defendent paid no heed to the request, and the conse quence was that his horse ran against the horse in the brougham, knocked the animal down, and injured it in various ways. One of the shafts of the brougham was cracked, and the other bent. The damage to the brougham could be repaired for 12s. 6d., and half-a guinea had been paid for advice for the horse. In reply to questions, complainant said the defendant was not more than about five yards from him when he turned into Park-lane. It would have been difficult to pull up, but he thought the defendant might have drawn on one side, and thus avoidedicontact. Mr. Bingham was of opinion that a driver coming out of a bye-street into a well-frequented thoroughfare was bound to use even more than ordinary caution. It ap peared to him there was a want of due caution on the part of the complainant, on turning into Park-lane, when the defendant was not more than five yards off, and therefore he must dismiss the summons. SOUTHWARK.—Ann Jacobs and Ann Morris were brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with stealing a gold watch and key, a purse containing two sovereigns and some silver, from the person of Henry William Craghler, captain of the Elizabeth, an Ostend trader lying off Mill-stairs, Tooley-street. Prosecutor said he met a female in the borough last night, and accompanied her to a house in the Mint. He there met with the prisoners, and after treating them and leaving the place, he missed his watch and money. He gave information immediately to the police. Police constable 53 M, said he took Jacobs into cus tody, and found the purse and two sovereigns concealed under her arm. Police constable 48 M, said he was standing near the house in the Mint, watching, when a female named Corby came running to him and handed him prosecutor's watch, which she said she received from the prisoner Morris. The female searcher said she found on the latter a gold key, which was identified by the prosecutor. The girl Corby was admitted as a witness, and she said she met with the prosecutor first, and he went home with her. He had his watch safe when he left her and went with the prisoners. Witness met the latter in the Borough, when Morris gave her the watch, and she ran home with it to hand it to the police. Mr. A'Beckett committed them for trial. LAMBETH.—John Rovan, alias Irish Jack, was placed at the bar before Mr. Elliott, for final examina tion, on two distinct charges of uttering forged notes— , the first with passing a 51. note at the shop of Mrs. Wrighton, at Brixton, and the second with uttering a 101. note at the Bee Hive public-house, in Carter-street, Walworth. In the former case it appeared from the evidence that some weeks ago the prisoner called at the shop of the prosecutrix, and said he had been sent by Mr. Mallet, his employer, for a quantity of screws, and tendered a 51. note in payment. Mr. Mallet being a highly respectable builder in the neighbourhood, and the prisoner having all the appearance of a builder's labourer, change was-at once given to him, but at the same time the prisoner was requested by Mrs. Wrighton to stop for a few minutes, while she took the opinion of a neighbour on the genuineness of the note. He managed to slip off with the change and screws, and it was subse quently found that the note was a forgery, and that the I prisoner's representation about being sent by Mr. Mallet was totally untrue. In the second case, Mr. Dockeree, the landlord of the Beehive, deposed that, on that day month the prisoner came to his house, and said he had been sent by his master, Mr. Cook, the builder, for two bottles of wine, and change for a ten pound note. Be lieving his representation, and Mr. Cook, who is a highly respectable man, being a customer of his, he gave the prisoner the wine and change, but having some sus picion as to the goodness of the note, he sent his ser vant to look after the prisoner, but she lost sight of him. Jane Baker, a servant to the last witness, said she had been sent by her master to watch the prisoner, and saw that he went in a different direction to that leading to the residence of Mr. Cook, but she soon lost sight of him. In reply to a question from the magistrate, Mr. Dock eree said that he wrote the name of Mr. Cook on the note at the time he received it from the prisoner, and subsequently paid it to his distiller's collector, and some days after it came back with the word " forgery" stamped on it. The examiner of bank notes at the Bank of England pronounced both the notes produced to be forgeries, and the prisoner was fully committed for trial on both charges. LONDON GAZETTE OF LAST NIGHT.

The adjourned April session of the peace for the county of Middlesex was resumed this day at the Guild hall, Westminster. There were 112 prisoners for trial. THE EXTENSIVE ROBBERIES ON THE LONDON AND NORTH- WESTERN RAILWAY. John Kirby, 53, convicted at the last session of this court of having received a quantity of ribbons that had been stolen from the London and North-Western Rail way, was brought up for judgment. Mr. Ballantine said no disclosures or communica tions had been made by the prisoner, for whom he ap peared, and therefore he did not stand at the bar with any imputation of treachery upon him. The Assistant-Judge said,' it would be better for him if he did not stand there with the imputation of having previously received stolen goods. Mr. Ballantine was quite taken by surprise by that observation. If the court knew it, he hoped the fact would be stated. (To the prisoner)—Have you ever been tried before for receiving ? The prisoner —No, never, or fir stealing. Mr. Ballantine said he believed that ten years ago the prisoner was in custody on a charge, but was discharged, after a detention of two days. Mr. Poland (who in the absence of Mr. Bodkin repre sented the company) said there was every reason to be lieve that the produce of other robberies had been in the possession of the prisoner, and had been disposed of by him; but they had not been successful in tracing out the parties with whom he was connected in the robberies. Mr. Baliantine hoped the Court would require proof of such assertions before they were acted upon. i The Assistant Judge said the case was a most serious one, and nothing could be more clear than that the prisoner had been acting in league and in concert with some of the company's servants, and the part he played was by far the worst, for he was the person who disposed of the plunder. Mr. Bailantine remarked that no money was found upon the prisoner, nor were any of the goods found at his lodgings. The Assistant Judge could easily believe that if the prisoner received stolen property from the railway he would not keep it at his own lodgings. He was not quite satisfied with the buyers of the articles from the prisoner. It had been in the power of the prisoner to step those robberies by telling who his accomplices were, and an opportunity has been afforded him to do so, but he had made no communication. It was a very serious case, and he questioned whether the Court would be (Icing right in not transporting him altogether. The prisoner said he was anxious to tell all he knew, He had sold the goods on a small commission. The Assistant Judge said anything the prisoner now wished to say must be said to the Secretary of State. He had had the opportunity of a remand to make dis closures, and he had not done so. The sentence upon him was, that he be kept in the penal servitude for six years. Mr. Ballantine—l do not know, my lord, whether you will reconsider that sentence and transport him, as that may not kill him so soon. The Assistant Judge—That is a matter for medical consideration. The prisoner was then removed. MAT 2. The Court was occupied the greater part of the day in trying cases of indecent assaults, the details of which were quite unfit for publication. .._ . San;uel Morris Popjoy, 23, John George Gregg, 20, Edward Collins, 18, James Williams, 16, John Peary, 18, and George Edwin, 21, were indicted for unlawfully attempting feloniously to steal from the person of a wo man whose name is unknown. The prisoners, who formed part of a notorious gang of thieves who infest Westminster and the Surrey side of the water, mustered in great numbers on the 10th of April last in Vauxhall-bridge-road, on the occasion of the removal of a body of a soldier from an hospital in that neighbourhood for interment in the West London Ceme tery at Brompton. A military procession was formed, and. of course a large body of persons were collected, and dur ing its progress the prisoners and their companions made the most of it in the exercise of their vocation, by dipping their hands into the pockets of all who came in their way. About twenty of them b*stled a gentleman, and made a desperate attempt to plunder him of his watch, but they were not successful in obtaining it ; and afterwards Wil liams was seen by several persons to put his hand into the pocket of a female, the other prisoners and companions " covering" or screening him from observation whilst so doing. A policeman's assistance was ultimately called, and six of the gang (the prisoners) were captured. The jury found them all guilty. Several police-officers then came forward to speak to former convictio❑s of Williams and Peary, and the others; were the well-known associates of thieves. Inspector Cumming, of the B division, said that ono of the gang was in the habit of going about Pimlico, pretending to show a model of the flag-ship of Sir Charles Napier (the Duke of Wellington), now in the Baltic, and whilst the attention of the chosen victims was en-- gaged in examining it, others of the gang were more profitably employed in abstracting their money or other valuables from their pockets. One of the companions of the prisoners was convicted in this court last session.. He pretended to be taken suddenly ill with a fit in the street, and while a lady who was passing at the time was rendering assistance, he contrived to rob her of her watch for her pains. The Assistant Judgo sentenced Williams and Peary to hard labour for nine months each ; Gregg, Collins, and Edwin, for six months, and Popjoy for four months. The other cases tried were of no public interest. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. MANSION-HOUSE.--John Taylor was brought be fore Sir R. Carden, charged with having stolen several goods from the shop of Mr. Evans, ironmonger, in King William-street. The prisoner, it appeared, called at the shop, said he came from Mr. Poole, of the Steam Packet Hotel, in Thames-street, told the shopman to send for some stew pans fur retinning, at four o'clock in the afternoon, and added that he wanted for Mr. Poole two copper tea kettles. The kettles were given to the prisoner, but a porter was sent to watch him, and it was soon ascertained that he was not authorised to act for Mr. Poole. After having gone through a variety of lanes and alleys, quite away from the address of the Steam Packet Hotel, the prisoner found that be was followed, and in his agitation, dropped two dozen of knives, which were wrapped up in a brown paper parcel. There were found in his posses. sion three parcels, containing locks and keys, &c., and all the property was identified as Mr. Evans's. The prisoner, who said he committed the robbeay through distress, was remanded. WESTMINSTER.—For some time past the war of polemics in Knightsbridge and Pimlico has been revived, owing to the protest of many of the parishioners against Romish practices carried on at the churches under the incumbency of the Hon. and Rev. Robert Liddell. On Easter Tuesday the election for churchwarden took place, and in consequence of the antagonism of Mr. Westerton to the practices complained of, and his opposition to the incumbent, a rival candidate was pro posed, and the election was very body contested, Mr. Westerten being returned only by a majority of three, the numbers being 200 to 203. Since the election up to the present time considerable excitement has prevailed, and some riotous proceedings having taken place, summonses were obtained at this court against the functionaries of the churches in ques tion, for taking an active part in the matter. The hearing of the case was appointed for yesterday at 12 o'clock, when the court was crowded by many noble and influential inhabitants of the parishes. The case heard was one against the Rev. Ch. F. Lowder, senior curate of St. Barnabas, Pimlico. The night charges, however, were so numerous that it was considerably after one o'clock before anything was done in connexion with the rev, gentleman's case. At half past one o'clock the case was called on, and Mr. Hewitt, solicitor, said he appeared for the com plainant, a ma n name d Ledwitch. The case arose out of the recent election for churchwarden for St. Barnabas's Church, Knightsbridge. The defendant warmly espoused the cause of one candidate, and the complainant was a boardman on the other side. Complainant was carrying a board in Ebury-street, where he was suddenly attacked by several boys, who threw scores of eggs at him, the contents of which co vered him front head to foot. He (Mr. Hewitt) was pre pared to prove that the defendant not only incited the boys to throw the eggs, but had also furnished them to the boys. The rev, gentleman had admitted it in a letter, and had promised to make reparation to the THE FRENCH EXHIBITION OF 1855. IWe find the following in the Moniteur on the subject of the Great Exhibition of 1855 :--- "The war in the East will neither prevent nor delay the pacific manifestation to which the Emperor has in vited all the nations of the world. The progress of in telligence no longer permits one State, whatever it may be, to stop the others in the accomplishment of their destinies. All civilised nations have understood this ; France, therefore, notwithstanding the preoccupations of this war, has not for a moment ceased to prepare her self for the universal competition of 1855, any more than she has interrupted her national works. At the same time that she completes her railways, her canals, and her ports while she improves and renders m ore h ea lth y h er ca pital and her large cities, and constru c t s d we ll ings f or her working classes, she is making every arrangement to give a proper welcome to the nations who will next year come to visit her from every part of the globe. These nations have not only responded t o h er ca ll, b u t their declarations and their preparations announce that, with one exception, they will all be faithful to the ap pointment. Toe Imperial decree instituting the Univer sal Exhibition is dated the Bth March, 1853. On the 26th March the Minister of Foreign Affairs notified it to all the governments, and on the 31st of the same month the Ministers of War and Marine made it known to French Africa and to our colonies. On the Bth April a circular of the Ministe r o f C ommerce requeste d the prefects to invite the efficacious co-operation of all the Chambers of Commerce, and in the latter end of May the Moniteur published the replies and the adhesions of the departments and of foreign governments. In order to complete the idea of the Emperor, a fresh decree of the 22d June connected the Universal Exhibition of the Fine Arts to that of agricultural and manufactured productions, and the decree of the 24th D e ce m b er instituted a commission, composed of the most com petent men, and charged, under the presidency of Prince Napoleon, to regulate the ensemble and the details of the Universal Exhibition. The ex perience of our previous national exhibitions, and the documents relative to the Universal Exhibitions of Lon don, Dublin, and New York, have furnished to the Im perial Commission some valuable information, of which it has known how to take advantage. Penetrated with the importance of his mission, and with the responsibility which it imposed on him, the Prince formed a sub-com mission, with which he could prepare all the measures necessary to secure the success of this great enterprise. Organisation of the central administration, internal and general regulations, constitution of native and foreign committees, general and special instructions for France, for the colonies, and for other nations, appropriation of the space which is to be filled by the different pro ductions of agriculture, industry, and the arts—all these preparatory labours the Prince was desirous to bring to a termination before he started for the Ea s t, to share in the dangers and in the glory of our sol diers. The decrees, regulations, and instructions rela tive to the Universal Exhibition are now circulated in all parts of France and of the world ; and already com mittees have been organised, or are on the point of be ing so, in the greater number of our departments. The first marks of sympathy which the announcement of this measure obtained abroad are every day confirmed by fresh acts of adhesion. Among these acts there are none more significant than the local exhibitions, which are, as it were, so many preparations for the universal one. The Grand Duke of Tuscany has anticipated by one year the Exhibition of Industry which was to have taken place in his States in 1855, in order that it might not clash with that of France. Spain has done the same for her quinquennial exhibition. The King Regent of Portugal has just organised commissions of industry and of the fine arts, as well as auxiliary committees in the provinces, islands, and colonies of his kingdom ; he has made the most pressing appeal to manufactures and to artists, and has or dered that an exhibition shall take place at Lis bon, preparatory to that in Paris. All Germany , has sent her productions to the semi-universal exhibi tion which is to open in Munich onlst,May. From 4,000 to 5,000 exhibitors are reckoned on ; the most liberal measures have been adopted by the German govern , ments for the success of this Exhibition, the most re markable articles is which will doubtless figure in the Great French Exhibition. It is known that Belgium is also preparing an exhibition of the fine arts for the same object. The co-operation of Holland, as well as that of the United States, is assured to us. Lastly, England is preparing to return with eclat our visit of 1851. Two delegates of the English Government have just arrived in Paris to come to an understanding with the Imperial Commission on all points connected with the productions which Great Britain is to send to the Universal Exhibi tion. In this immense competition of all nations, the Governmant relies with confidence on the zeal and skill of our manufacturers and of our artists to support wor thily their reputation and the glory of the country." The Louth Advertiser claims the French admiral in the Black Sea for an Irishman. It states that "Admiral Hamelin, commander-in-chief of the French expeditionary fleet engaged in the Eastern war, is an Irishman by birth, and a native of the county Louth. His immediate relatives reside in the neighbourhood of Channonrock, near Dunclaik.* WHITEHALL, MAY 2.

UNIVERSITY COLLEGE PRIZES. The annual distribution of prizes to the students of medicine attending the London University took place on Saturday forenoon, in the Institution, in Gower street. The Duke of Argyll presided on the occasion, and the ceremony was witnessed by-a considerable num ber of the students and their friends, including a fair sprinkling of ladies. Sir Roderick Murchison, the Right Hon. Mr. Strutt, and other influential gentlemen were also present. The Dean of the Faculty of Medicine commenced the proceedings by reading the report of the professors for the past year. It stated that the number of students attending the medical classes last session was 175, of whom 55 commenced their studies within the year. The number of new students in the preceding session was 47. The distribution of prizes was then proceeded with, and was watched with lively interest, especially by the fair portion of the assembly. Loud cheers followed the announcement of the name of each successful competitor ; and when a student happened to be called up more than once to receive prizes in more than different classes, as was the case in several instances, the cheering swelled into a perfect shout of triumph and congratulation.

[AavEausntENT.]—A mosrinteresting recovery from a vast cora.- plicatlon of diseases, without the aid of medicine, is recorded In the following letter : " Bridgehouse, Frimley, 3d April, 1854. " Gratefld for the benefit I have derived from Du Barry's Revs. lenta Arabica Food, I feel it my duty to express to you my unfeigned thanks for the invariable kindness I have met with at your hands. My case iv an extrfordinary one, and as it may benefit other suf ferers I think it but right to place its details •at your disposal. I have suffered these 33 years continually from diseased lungs, spitting of blood, liver derangements, deafness, singing in the ears, consti pationri, debility so, shortness of breath and cough, and during that period taken much medicine that I can safely say I have laid out upwards of a thousand pounds at the chemist's and doctor's. I have actually worn out two medical men during my ailments without find ing any improvement in my health. Indeed I was in utter despair , and never expected to get over it, when I was fortunate enough to become acquainted with your Revalenta Arabica, which, Heaven be praised, restored ate to a state of health which 1 long since despaired of attaining, 51y lungs, liver, stomach, head, and ears are all right. my hearing perfect, and my recovery is a marvel to all my acquain tances.—.l am, respectfhlly, " JAKE& Ronal's, Wood Me• chant!'
