'1 lie Directors of this Company have secured, by agreement, the grant of the Mathilde Mines, situate at the foot of the north-western spurs of the Harz Mountains, close to Neuen krug, and distant about two miles and a half in a northern direction from the town of Seesen, and forty miles from the City of B unswick. The area of the grant is about twelve hundred statute acres. The surface of the property from east to west is free from break or interruption, whilst in a transverse direction it is depressed into a slight curve, having its greatest depth near the line of the main t oad. The geological position of the property included in this grant is precisely identical with that of the celebrated Mans field Mine, and there can be no doubt but that the cupreous bed so long and profitably worked by the Mansfeld Company also exists in the present grant. The thickness of the copper-bearing schist, at the points 'Where it has been examined, is very uniform, and the en gineer reports it to exist, with little variation in this re spect, throughout the greater part of the lands included in the co ncess .on. The strata overlying the Kupferschiefer offer no difficulty to the operations of the miner. The cost of piercing them must necessarily vary with the dimensions of the shafts. Labour can be freely drafted from the Ober Harz, and the scale of wages payable for an eight hours' shift is one third less than is paid in England. Materials of every kind are readily procurable in the vari ous markets of Prussia. Saxony, and Westphalia, and can be transported to the mines by means of the railway which passes directly through the property. The Royalty payable to the Ducal Government is 1-20th of the value of all Ores raised, sold or smelted. No mini mum rent is imposed, neither is there any State supervision calculated to prevent the free and unrestricted development of the property. The copper schist deposit is only known to exist in the Mansfeld district, at the foot of the Harz Mountains and New Brunswick, British America, but it has alone been worked at Mansfeld. The value of this property and the regularity of the Pro duce of the cupreous oeds maybe best estimated by reference to the following statistics of the Mansfeld Mines, the weekly yield of which at present is upwards of £B,OOO worth of sil ver, and £16,000 worth of copper.

Johnson and Son, of Basinghall-street, and Messrs. Johnson and Matthey, of Hatton-garden, and samples of the ore, can be seen at the Temporary Offices of the Company. ABSTRACT O MR. 'S RPORT. M ATHILDE MINES, F NEAR BLAKE SEESEN, E HA.HAUSEN. FOREST-REVIER HAHAUSEN, GERMANY. This property, consisting of 1,200 acres of land, held under grant from the Government on liberal terms, is situated about three miles north-east of the town of Seesen, and is inter sected by the railroad from Brunswick, and also by the public road from Seesen to Goelar ; it consists of a basin of sedi mentary rocks, underlying N.W. at an angle of 12 deg. from the south boundary of the property, and extending from W. to E. through its whole length until cut off at the eastern boundary by an upthrow fault, on the east side of which are the clay, slate, and porphoretic rocks, torming the northern portion cf the ti arz Mountains. • 'the peculiar value of this property is the e‘istenoe of a bed of bituminous shale of the same character as the cele brated Mansfield Mines. The shale is here eight inches thick, with four inches of copper sandstone, while in Mansfeld it is only four inches, and the sandstone ore is absent, but it is found at Sangerhausen, and is more productive of copper than the shale. The contents of which average in Mansfeld 1/ per cent of copper The identity of the bed is also proved by the fossil fish which are found between the lamina of the shale, and all in one position doubled up, having been all dead before-being enclosed inthe rock. The existence of this bed, under the whole property, has been proved by the shafts marked on map S.. K., H.. in the eastern portion, and two in the western, markek L„ in all of which the shale maintains the same `character and strength. The depth trom'surtace is, on the South side, about 30 feet ; and, in the deepest portion, where the main shafts should be Placed. marked M., will not exceed 100 feet. while the depth of the Mansfeld Mine is 300 to 400 feet. •there is also an ab sence of water, which offers great advantages in the cheap nese of working. This property.being of quite an exceptional character, I considered it right to visit Mansfeld, to ascertain for myself the method of treatment of the ores, and also the cost of working and extracting the copper and silver ores, which have rendered these mines so famous. The, weekly yield being at present £B,OOO worth of silver and X 16,000 worth of copper from eight mines. The nature of this ore is such that it is treated at a mere nominal cost, and without any ex pensive chemical or patent process, and the ores at Mathilde Mines can be all treated in the same way. I now give you a statement of the expenses required, and the results which may be depended upon as being correct, the prices having been carefully ascertained from Mr. Asses sor Hausmann, of Brunswick, the head Government engi neer, and carefutly checked by personal observations and in quiries at Mansfeld, wages being here one-third less than in England. I have, therefore, no hesitation in rec3mmending you at once - to complete the purchase of this most valuable property. whiali contains over 4,009,000 tons of ore ; 1,200 acres gives 54,140,060 feet, which, at 11 - cent per foot, will yield a gross value of over £5,C00,000 of copper, and allowing one half for expenses, will yield £2,500,000 profit, withoutinclu d ing the value of the silver. ABSTRACT OF REPORT OF ASSESSOR HAUSMANN, GOVERNMENT MIN LNG ENGINEER, BRUNS WICK. The new shafts down to the copper sehists are from 30 to 100 feet deep, and become deeper as you go farther north. In a westerly direction, through the length of the property, the depth may vary from 30 to 100 feet, but in all other parts it is uniform. The extraction of the schist and sand ores is contracted for at about Ifs. per ton. The Railway crosses the property in its length from east to west ; there is a railway station close to the newly estab lished experimental shafts, and this is the place adapted for the erection of works for smelting, the ores. There is a direct communication by rail to Harburgh, distance 80 miles; freight, 6s. per ton. According' to experiments, up to this date, the copper schist and the sand ores have, on the average, produced two per cent. of copper ; and, in each hundredweight of copper, four oz. of silver—there being a considerable portion of gold in the silver. The copper schist•layer has everywhere, as in the, county of Mausfeld, the same strength, 14 inches, whereof 7/ inches is malleable ore, and 21 inches sand ore. The whole strength of the malleable bed, 10 inches. These items are given iu minimum. . In conclusion, I beg to say that in these flat beds where the copper schist layer is equall, diffused, the profits from these 2 per cent. ores have a great advantage over copper ores of a richer per ceetage, which in. England and other countries are firm, mixed with gaugues. I must not omit to mention that the whole of the copper, schist layer has a considerable and equally diffused amount of bitumen, photogene, and salarial oil, &c., which is strong that a heap of it once ignited by a little wood for roasting Purr °sea, continues to burn without further trouble.

Mr: Best applied to his lordship to give the certificate re quired by the statute to authorise him, in the case of a pri soner whom he was instructed to prosecute, to prefer other charges against him before the grand jury, besides the one upon which he .was committed by the magistrate. The learned counsel explained that the whole of the facts were brought to the knowledge of the magistrate, but he only committed the prisoner upon one charge. Mr. Justice Crompton refused to accede to the application, and said that it appeared to him most important for the due administration of justice that where a charge was made against a prisoner the depositions should be fully taken by the magistrate, as they afforded a great check to the wit nesses, and prevented them from garbling their evidence when they were examined at the trial, and they were also very important, so far as the prisoner was concerned, who had a right to know what evidence was to be given against him. It was too much the practice in the country for the magistrate's clerks merely to state upon the d epositions what was just sufficient to support the charge that was made against the prisoner; but h appeared to him that this was quite opposed to the spirit of the statute relating to the subject, and that it was of the very essence of justice that the depositions should be taken fully, and that they should disclose the whole of the facts connected with the charge. With regard to the present application, if the learned coun sel considered it advisable to prefer other charges against the prisoner, the proper curse would be to go before a ma gistrate, and have the depositions formally taken and re turned to this court. James Webb, 31, a tall respectable-looking man, was charged with the wilful murder of his wife, Hannah Webb. By the coroner's inquisition the prisoner was only charged with the offence of manslaughter. Mr. Sleigh conducted the prosecution, and the prisoner was defended by Mr. Metcalfe. This case was postponed from the Juno session. It ap peared that the prisoner carried on the occupation of a cow keeper at Hoxton, and that he and deceased were married about five years ago, but they seemed to have lived very un happily together, and that they were both in the habit of getting the worse for liquor, and frequently quarrelled, The offence imputed to the prisoner was alleged to have been committed on 26th May last ; and it appeared that on the evening of that day the prisoner, who was undoubtedly in a Partial state of intoxication, and the deceased, who, it was suggested, was in the same state, were at home, and were heard to quarrel, and the prisoner made use of violent and threatening language to deceased, and was heard to say that he would strangle her, or some expression to that effect. After this the prisoner was seen to drag deceased out of the shop, down some steps in the shed, and there was the sound of a violent scuffle between them, and after that deceased appeared to be very much injured, and she died on the fol lowing morning, the cause of this event being, according to the medical testimony, injuries that she had received upon the head and other parts of the body. What actually took place between the prisoner and the deceased on the night in question seemed to be involved in a good deal of obscurity, but there appeared to be uo doubt that the deceased enter tained a feeling of jealousy, and that this was the founda tion of the quarrel that took place between her and the pri soner on this unfortunate occasion. It transpired during the inquiry that deceased was drunk for two or three days previous to the 26th of May, and that she was in the habit of sending boys, who came to her husband's shop for milk, to fetch spirits for her, and that she sometimes got so drunk that she went into the bed of one of the servants to sleep, instead of going to her own bedroom, and that it was fre quently necessary to carry her up to bed, in consequence of her drunken condition. It was also proved that upon one occasion she had fallen down drunk behind the counter of the shop, which was robbed while she was in that condition ; and that upon another occasion she had fallen into the fire place, and would in all probability have been burned to death, if she had not been dragged out by a man named Casey, who was in the service of the prisoner. One of the witnesses for the prosecution stated, in addition to this, that only a short time before the death of the deceased the pri soner went upon his knees to her, and prayed her to keep from drink, and she promised she would do so and was quiet for a short time, when she again recommenced practising her unhappy propensity for drink. The immediate cause of death, it appeared, was extravasation of blood upon the lungs which, according to the evidence of Mr. Simpson, the surgeon, might have been occasioned either by a blow, or a fall, or any other external violence. At the close of the case for the prosecution, Mr. Metcalfe submitted that there was no evidence to sup port the charge of wilful murder, and the learned Judge and Mr. Sleigh also concurred in this view of the case. The learned counsel for the prisoner then addressed the jury for the defence, and contended that the evidence did not support the suggestion that the violence of the prisoner was the cause of the death of the deceased, and that she might have injured herself by falling down while she was drunk. Several respectable witnesses gave the prisoner an excel lent character for humanity and general good conduct, and also stated that he generally behaved with great kindness towards deceased. The learned Judge having summed up, The Jury, after a few momenta' deliberation, returned a verdict of not guilty. James Mills, 19, clerk, and Geo. Peacock Smith, butcher, were indicted with feloniously sending a threatening letter to Earl Spencer, with intent to extort £5. Mr. Sleigh was counsel for the prosecution, Mr. Orridge was instructed for Smith, and Mr. Poland for the prisoner Mills. The prisoner Mills pleaded guilty, and Smith, who sur rendered in answer to his bail, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sleigh, on the part of the prosecution, said he had had a communication from Mr. Orridge, and coupling that with the evidence as it appeared on the face of the depositions, he thought he would not be justified in putting the case before the jury, inasmuch as there was such inadequate evidence to be adduced. He was informed that the prisoner Smith was totally ignorant of the contents of the letter which was sent by the other prisoner to the Earl Spencer, and, from what he could gather, he had only been a short time in London, and had made the casuaracquaintance of Mills. The Earl Spencer concurred with him that the ends of justice would be met by the other prisoner having pleaded guilty. He had taken the present proceedings solely on public grounds, conceiving it to be his duty to do so. No evidence having been offered against Smith, the jury returned a verdict of Not Guilty. There was a second indictment against Smith, charging him with conspiracy with the other prisoner to extort money, tze. No evidence, however, was offered against him in this case, and a verdict of Not Guilty was returned. Mr. Orridge said, with regard to Smith, the communica tion he had made to Mr. Sleigh had satisfied him ; but if it were necessary, he was in a position to prove all that he had stated. Mr. Poland, who appeared for Mills, said that he was bound to state publicly that there was not one word of truth in the letter alluded to, and, in fact, the prisoner bad never seen the earl until he had instituted the present pro• ceedings. The learned Judge then proceeded to pass sentence upon Mills, and said, thoigh so young, he bad pleaded guilty to one of the most vile and serious crimes a man could be guilty of towards another. An attack upon a man's per son was nothing to such an attack upon his character—an attack to which too many were apt to yield ; and it was not often that any one was man enough to fight it out, and to take the proper course, as had been done in the present case. The learned judge then read a portion of the letter, which concluded with a threat that unlcss the Earl sent him £5, he would write and expose him to all his friends. His lordship said it Was a crime which, when brought home to any one, was dealt with with the utmost severity, as it was the most fearful mode of robbery that could be imagined. He then sentenced the prisoner to 20 years' penal servitude. THIRD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Arthur Robert Willoughby Wade, whose delinquencies have already attracted so much public attention, and who was described in the calendar as being a soldier, 35 years of age, wee brought up to plead to five indictments, charging him with having unlawfully and indecently assaulted five young females, named respectively Bridget Corragan, Louisa Nagle, Harriet Bird, Maria Whelan, and Mary Marshall. The prisoner on being called upon, said he pleaded guilty to the indecent assaults. The prisoner was again arraigned on an indictment for boxing feloniously, by certain false pretences and repre sentations, procured one Bridget Corragan, a girl under the age of 21 years, lo have illicit connexion with him. To this indictment the prisoner, in a defiant tone of voice, pleaded not guilty. Mr. Orridge intimated to the court, that in the absence of his learned leader, Mr. Clerk, he had to state that the pro secution had been instituted by direction of the Home-office through the Treasury solicitor, but upon the prisoner's plea of guilty to the charges for indecent assault it was not in tended to offer any evidence in support of the felony. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine (who has been specially retained to defend the prisoner) said that this course had saved a painful inquiry. On the part of the prisoner, he could only say that the Court, from the depositions before it, must know that he stood now a man ruined in position and cha racter. He had a wife and family who would be perhaps the greatest sufferers, and he (Mr. Sergeant Ballantine) could only commit the prisoner to the merciful considera tion of the Court. The Recorder said he should take time to consider the sen tence, and the prisoner, ;who manifested great indifference, was removed from the bar, SPIRIT OF THE PUBLIC 3OURNALS. TIMES.—The case of "The Countess Della Seta v. Lord Vernon" is now before the public, and though it is not yet concluded, enough has been elicited to modify very materially the impressions which had got abroad respecting it. An injured woman ap pealing for justice against a heartless seducer who leaves her to support herself and her offspring as best she may must alway 3 he an object of sympathy, and the more so if the accused party be a wealthy nobleman. Such was the picture which had been painted by some over-zealous friend of the Countess, who does not seem to have foreseen the disenchant ment which would be wrought by the publicity that was claimed on her behaif. We now know the worst, and to what does it amount? In the year 1842 Lard Vernon formed a connexion with au Italian lady, by whom ho had four daughters, and with whom he appears to have lived for ten years. In 1852 this connexion was broken off upon terms which certainly cannot be considered unfavourable to the interests of the lady, By a deed dated the 30th of August in that year Lord Vernon covenanted to pay an annuity of £l,OOO for her separate nse dur ing her life and his own, and an annuity of £2OO to each of the daughters after her death. In case any of them should marry, or attain the age of 21 with out marrying, £lOO a year out of the £l,OOO was to be paid to them respectively during his lordship's life. He farther covenanted to leave £20,000 in all for the benefit of the mother during her life, and, after her death, to be divided among the daughters. These provisions were clearly ex pressed to be made upon condition that the mother should maintain and educate the young ladies during their minority to the satisfaction o the trustees, who were empowered to make any deduction from the allowance which they might think fit for this purpose if that condition should be broken. So far, then, whatever may be thought of the morality of such an alliance, there was no thing unhandsome in the way of terminating it. A jointure of £l,OOO a year is no despicable pension for the widow of an English gentleman, and in Italy such a sum represents something more than humble competence. The lady may have been wronged originally, as every woman is wronged who, whether treacherously or not, is tempted to sacrifice her virtue and good name, but she received what the world would call an ample pecuniary repara tion. The sequel is soon told. We need not fol low the history of the present Countess Della Seta further than to say that in the following year she married the Count, from whom she appears to have been afterwards separated, still retaining the cus tody of the three survivors of Lord Vernon's four children. Some months ago he heard that " they " were not happy with their mother," and had left her house at Cairo. Thereupon he instituted proceed ings in Chancery, - with a view of making them wards of the court and obtaining a scheme for their educa tion. Pending this, some part of the monthly instal ments hitherto paid regularly for the joint benefit of the Countess and the daughters was withheld during two months, without the slightest apparent intention to violate the spirit of the settlement, and only until the Court should designate the proper recipient of it. Meanwhile an order was made for the appro priation of £4OO annually to the support of the three sisters. It is this order which the Countess now seeks to get modified, at the same time claiming access to her daughters, one of whom has been seriously ill. Thi s application is still before the Vice-Chancellor, but whatever be his decision it will, no doubt, carry out the presumed design of the original settlement. Lord - Vernon's counsel declares, on his behalf, that he neither has, nor ever had, the least idea of shrinking from the liabilities which he incurred in 1852, and it is but justice to say that the facts, so far as they are known to us, do not furnish the smallest pretext for such an asser tion. How it came to be made is now the question, and to this question we fear no satisfactory answer can be given. It is unfortunate that the merits of this very simple matter should have been obscured by a misapprehension of the course pursued by Vice-Chancellor Stuart. It is the practice of the Court of Chancery to allow certain cases to be heard iu private. Among these are applications respecting family disputes and those which affect the status or reputation of wards of the court. Into the wiedom of this rule it would be idle to enter; it is enough that it exists, and that Vice-Chancellor Stuart acted in ac• cordance with it. Not or'ly does it exist bus it appears from one of the precedents cited that whereas cases relating to family disputes can only be kept private by the consent of the counsel on both sides, those which might compromise wards of the Court may be properly so reserved, although one of the parties should withhold his consent. Th e refore, even if the Vice-Chancellor had overruled the objections of Mr. Malins, representing the Countess, and ordered the Court to be cleared on his own authority, he would have been entitled to the credit of having acted according to recognised usage and to the best of his jud gment , S uc h, h owev er, was not the fact. It is true that Mr. Matins at first objected, but upon being assured that the request as f th in e ade three shelter the i n t eres t s an d repu t a tion young ladies, and not to screen Lord° Vernon, he e ' yielded the poi n t, and ex p ress ly gave his — ern Vernon's In fact, it w a s not f r om M r . B ac on, Lord counsel, but from Mr. Gre ene , the counsel vconsent counsel, for the infants, that it originally proceeded. This ought to have been more than enough to protect the judge from imputations which sh o uld never be in lightly htl - made against any one holdi ng the judicial office. If a ben c h o f mag i s t rates were t o adjourn the trial of rial of a game l aw case i nto a pr i va t e room, the first principl es o f cr i m i na l j ustice wou ld be so flagrantl y violated that charity itself could suggest motive fo r it. A mot i on b efore an but one equity judge concerning family matters is a totally different thing, and e j ust i ce w i th close d d o ors," however undesirable in the abstract, i s f a r from implying corruption or partiality, Those who make such insinuation s are at l east bound to acqu aint them selves with Chancery practice, and to take care that they have prima facie grounds for hazarding so odious a charge. Had they made but a little inquiry, they w ou ld not only have learnt their mis take on this elementary point, but would have per ceived that Lord Vernon himself had nothing to gain by secrecy. The moment the name of the mysterious nobleman became known, as it very soon was, it was much better for him that the whole truth should come out. Eris offence w as of a kind which society easily—perh a p s too easily•—forgives, especially a ft er t h e l apse of 20 yearn, while his subsequent conduct was sure to be commended as honourable, and even generous. Righteous indig nation is t oo prec i ous to be wasted. Th ere are s till abundant occasions for just exposure and honest in vective without inventin g exaggerating facts. When men i n high places prostitute their rank or office for the sake of gain or influence, or out of the mere love of jobbery, by all means let them stand in the pillory of public opinion and point a moral for popular satirists. But let us take care not to make such charges too cheap lest they fail of their due effect when They are really deserved. Noblemen are sometimes guilty of scandalous misconduct, no doubt, but as a class they are very like other people in their virtues and vices, neither much better nor much worse. Strange as it may sound to some credulous persons, it dots not necessarily follow the t when they are parties to a suit they must be on the wrong side. Still less is it to be taken for granted that the judges are in league with the aristocracy, and would be ready to forfeit the respect of all their countrymen for the chance of obliging some lord, whose favour, in nine cases out of ten, would not be A orth the seeking. HERALD.—Though we think that Mr. Roebuck was entirely justified in bringing forward his mo tion for the recognition of the Confederate States, and though we cannot agree with any of the cen sures so freely lavished by our Liberal contempo raries upon the course which he took and the argu ments which he urged in the speech by which he supported it, we do not doubt that he has done rightly and wisely in withdrawing it. Indeed tne whole i espoosibility for its withdrawal has been voluntarily assumed by another. When the head of tho Government appealed to the mover, on the high ground of public convenience, to permit the termination of a debate which, as he affirmed, was unseasonable and likely to embarrass the action of the executive, it was impossible for Mr. Roebuck, except on such grounds as would have compelled him to convert it into a vote of want of confidence, to persevere with his proposal. \V hatever may be his or our private opinion as to the real nature of the inconvenience apprehended by the Minieerv, no one can pretend to say that they may not possibly 'be in possession of information which may indicate that very serious embarrassments might arise from any further discussion of a question which has been so managed as to involve in no common degree the feelings and the character of a potentate with whom we aro on terms of intimacy, and whose co-opera tion in any measures w e tney h ereafter be obliged to take in regard to American affairs is of vital importance. We do not conceive it to be the fault of Mr. Roebuck that the debate has taken a course which is certainly unusual and unsatisfac tory. The charges made against him of having 21 endeavoured to influence the d ec i s i on o f the "se of Commons by quoting the personal senti ments of the French Emp.eror, must be felt, even by their authors, to be totally unfounded. The history of the matter is simply this. A rumour was put into circulation for the expres9 purpose of influencing the judgment of the house, to the (licct that the Emperor had changed his mind, and was now determined to maintain the policy of the British Government. Mr. Roebuck took measures to as certain that this rumour was untrue, and he stated to the house the one-sufficient proof that it was un true. This defeat of their conspiracy of course in furiated the authors of the rumour, and they charged Mr. Roebuck with doing what they themselves had striven to do—making the opinion of the Emperor of the French an argument to guide the counsels of the British Parliament. Lord Palmerston thought proper to reproach him with "irregularity" in hav ing referred to the Emperor at all; but it is tole rably certain that if he had not done so, a more se rious irregularity would have been committed. The Northern party would have said, "It is absurd to talk of joint action ; the Emperor will not join with us in recognising the South ;" and the Minis ters, knowing this to be false, would have sat still and given the falsehood the sanction of their silence. Still, there is no doubt that the extraneous matter thus introduced into the discussion has added in some degree—we cannot say in how great a degree —to the inconvenience which generally attends parliamentary discussions on foreign policy, and which is only overbalanced by the worse inconve nience of leaving the feelings of Parliament un spoken; and it would have been very unsafe for Mr. Roebuck to have persevered, at the risk of forcing the Prime Minister to sustain the state ments of the Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. No one doubts that Mr. Roebuck. confirmed as he has been by Mr. Lindsay's published letter, gave a correct account of his interview with Napoleon 111., and had the discussion continued, there would have been great danger of the fact becoming flagrantly visible that the story of the Foreign-office and that of the French Emperor are in diametric opposi tion, and that the house must weig h the word of Mr. Layard against that of our august ally. POsT.—Those who are anxious to uphold the dignity and privileges of the House of Commons have no reason to be dissatisfied with the proceed ings of last night upon the withdrawal of Mr. Roe buck's motion for the recognition of the Southern States. Neither Mr_ Roebuck nor Mr. Lindsay ventured to challenge the issue of which we warned them. No attempt was made last night to involve the House of Commons in any dispute as to the ac curacy of any report of the conversation with the French Emperor; and the dignified, although gen tle, assertion of the constitutional principle has been sufficient to guard the House of Commons from the imputation of having ever assented to its violation. Mr. Roebuck himself proposed to put an end to the debate in which he had interpolated his extraordi nary violation of all constitutional usuage. It is perfectly absurd to say that he did so because Lord Palmerston assured him that the discussion would be injurious to the public interests. Lord Palmer ston deprecated the incidental discussion of a con versation with the French Emperor. To this inti mation Mr. Roebuck yielded with as much grace as he is capable of showing; but he withdrew his mo tion because he knew perfectly well that, had he persevered in it, a motion would have been proposed by a member entirely :unconnected with the Go vernment conveying the censure of the House of Commons upon the conduct of any member who as sumed to convey to the house a message from a foreign sovereign. The record of such a censure on its journals the member for Sheffield has escaped by the charity and forbearance of the House of Commons. We cannot regret this result. We pointed it out yesterday morning as the possible mode of ending this" affair." Lord Palmerston, with admirable tact, has relieved the House of Commons of the ne cessity of a formal vote by his clear and explicit declaration that the allusion to the sentiments of a foreign sovereign was a proceeding not to be toler ated. He emphatically said he desired it to be un derstood that it was now on record, as solemnly as it could be without a formal resolution, that such allusion was never to be made in a British House of Commons. These few and dignified words from Lord Palmerston will have in the history of Parliament an effect equal to that of a reso lution solemnly recorded on the journals, The assenting cheers of the house accepted the clear announcement of the Premier that the House of Commons could only know of a foreign sovereign through the Queen; and that any member who presumed to bring a message from such a Sovereign violated the laws of Parliament, and his duty to the constitution of his country and his Queen. Our more sturdy ancestors would not have been satisfied without a formal censure upon the member who violated a principle so plain. But, as we hinted in our previous observations on this subject, there were many reasons in favour of the milder course. In the first place, there is a rule, and a proper rule of the house, that words spoken by a member can only be visited with censure if noticed at the time, and taken down while fresh in the recollection of mem bers at the moment of uttering them. Lord Pal merston was not in the house when Mr. Roebuck announced the message from the French Emperor, and no person moved that the words should be taken down. Mr. Roebuck took very good care not to give the opportunity of repairing the omission, and in the few sentences in which he skulked from the debate, he made not the slightest allusion to the in terview with the French Emperor, or to the em phatic contradiction which the Moniteur has given to his assumption of the character of an imperial envoy to the House of Commons. So far as Mr. Roebuck is concerned, judgment is gone by default. His message was but a piece of gasconade, combin ing, in a union not uncommon, a servile worship of rank with the assumption of familiarity that really has its origin in a passion for that most ignoble of all pursuits which men call tuft hunting. Mr. Lindsay, to do him justice, had nothing to retract, and nothing for which he had to apologise. His one indiscretion appears to have been the introduc tion of Mr. Roebuck to the imperial closet. He had a right to vindicate himself from the charge of being a busybody, and he appears to have done so, if not with perfect success, at least without, any flagrant violation of good taste, PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION.

VISIT OF THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES. Yesterday, according to promise, Wimbledon common was honoured with the presence of the Prince and Princess of Wal es . I t ha become gene rally understood that the din ner hour would o o n ul a d be the time of their Royal Highnesses' ar r i va l accord iugly by 1 o'clock many a hundred well-dressed ladies had entered the enclosure and taken up, under the direction of their volunteer or pure civilian con ductors, places where they might see both the Prin cess and the shooting. But the dinner hour came and passed, and yet there were no signs of the Royal carriages. Soon after two o'clock it became generally known that the royal visitors were ex pected about three, and at a little before that hour Lord Elcho rode out of the enclosure to meet their Royal Highnesses. Outside the paling were col lected hundreds of the inhabitants of the neighbour ing hamlets, and inside the common presented a more stirring and gay appearance than on any pre vious day of this meeting. There were the same number of flags and banners, but many of the owners of tents had followed Capt. Drake's example, and set flowers around, or at the roots of trees near, their temporary dwelling. At a quarter past three the Prince and Princess drove in from the direction of Putney, and amid the loyal greetings of the assembled crowds proceeded in their carriage to the firing point of the 200 yards pool butts, which for the one afternoon had been devoted to the first stage of the match-11 on each side—between the representatives of the House of Lords and the picked men of the House of Commons. A marquee, under which a carpet and some half-dozen chairs had been placed, had been erected for the royal party, who were received by the council at the gate of the inner enclosure and conducted to the tent, around, but principally towards the front of which several hundred persons had been admitted at a price which must have added a handsome sum to the receipts of the association. The Prin cess, who was dressed in deep mourning, and who, it was universally remarked, looked pale and wearied, was soon joined by the Countess Spencer and the Duchess of Manchester, who, with the Countess of Carnarvon and Captain Grey in wait ing, made a pleasant party under the marquee, in front of which Lord Elcho had directed Mr. Steward to place two of his best telescopes. The firing was at the targets numbered 4 and 6, in any position, with any rifle ; and the distance being only 200 yards, and the targets double the pool size, or 6 feet by 4, it was not unreasonably expected that the noble lords and hon. gentlemen would make at the very least an average of something more than a centre per shot; but, as the score attached will show, the two houses put together only attained that low mean, the Commons being slightly more and the Lords rather less HOUSE OF LORDS.—EarI Dude, 24; Marquis of Aber corn, 24 ; Earl of Airlie, 21; Lord Bolton, 23 ; Lord Suffield, 19 ; Lord Dunmore, 22 ; Lord Dufferin, 18 ; Duke of Marlborough, 14; Earl Granard, 17 ; Lord Londes borough, 15 ; and Lord Wharncliffe, 25; total, 222. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Lord Bury, 26; the Hon. W. Duncombe, 26 ; Mr. Dillwyn, 23 ; Sir Philip Egerton, 20 ; Mr. Forster, 17; Earl Grosvenor, 25; Mr. Humbertson, 20; Mr. Talbot, 17; Mr. Vivian, 23; Mr. Wemyss, 21; and Lord Elcho, 24 ; total, 242. Sitting and lying were the favourite positions ; but even with this advantage the firing was not what was expected. On the side of the Lords, how ever, there was some excuse, for Lord Vernon, who was to be one of the representative's of the Upper House, was at the last moment understood to be too unwell to attend, and Lord Dufferin, who had to borrow, not only a rifle, but spectacles, was called in in his place, and made by no means the worst shooting of the day. When the firing at this range was finished the Royal party moved to the 500 yards' range, where there was another enclosure and another reserved marquee erected. Here the Lords and Commons were again pitted, with the follow ing result HOUSE or LORDS.—EarI Dude, 60; Marquis of Aber corn, 49 ; Lord Airlie, 34 ; Lord Bolton, 46 ; Lord Suffield, 31 ; Lord Dunmore, 43; Lord Dufferin, 29 ; Duke of Marl borough, 30 ; Lord Granard, 23 ; Lord Londesborough, 34 ; Lord Wharncliffe, 51 ;—total, 423. HOUSE OF COMMONS,—Lord Bury, 50; Mr. Duncombe, 50 ; Mr. Dillwyn, 44 ; Sir P. Egerton, 39 ; Mr. Forster, 35 ; Earl Grosvenor, 47 ; Mr. Humberston, 37 ; Mr. Talbot, 36; Mr. Vivian, 48; Mr. Wem)ss, 30; Lord Elcho, 44; — total, 460. Lord Wharncliffe's was the best shooting of the day ; and indeed if we take his trial shot instead of his last, when he was no doubt nervous, he may be said to have made a bull's eye every time at 500 yards. As the members of both Houses made their bull's eyes they were warmly applauded, but whether it was that the Commons had their friends on the ground in greater force, or whether the persons of the representatives are better known than those of the Peers, it is certain that the Commons got the loudest cheering. Last year when the Lords beat the Commons far and away, Lord Elcho proposed " Three cheers for the licking we'll give them next year," and the Commons have kept his lordship's word. Lord Colville, of the Hon. Artillery Company, called over the names of the Cords, Captain Drake, R.E.,.kept the scores, and Captain Ruxton dia gramed, assisted by Captain Stracey, of the Scots Fusilier Guards. Captain Wigram had charge of the Commons' firing party. Captain Herbert, Cold stream Guards, kept the scores, and Capt. Williams, of the 19th Middlesex Rifles, diagramed. When the firing at the five hundred yards was about half over the Prince and Pfirin t - cess took their departure, and, in the place, driving to a tent close to th e windmill, rs they partook of refreshments there provided by the council ; after which, at ten minutes to six o'clz e. they left the enclosure and proceeded to .

In the course of the day, while Private Isaac Thomas, of the 13th Lancashire Rifles, was firing for one of the prizes, through some inexplicable cause the nipple of his rifle blew out and struck the thumb of his right hand. We regret to say that this was not the only case in which the aid of Dr. Westmacett was brought into requisition, for Pri vate L Ward, 6th East York Rifles, had his shoulder much swollen and bruised through the recoil of his rifle, This was probably owing to the stock of the rifle not being of a proper length. Great complaints are made on the ground that the rifles which have been served out by the association are generally deficient in this respect. In shooting at the running deer Captain Herbert, out of 5 bulls eyes that were made, contributed no fewer than 3. One hundred and ten carriages were admitted to the ground, 100 ladies and gentlemen entered the gates on horseback, and 4,000 persons on foot paid at the doors. Inspector Penfold was reinforced __for the day in the discharge of h is duties by Mr. 6uperintendent Walker, of the A division, and to both the public are much indebted for their admirable arrange ments and their u nfailing courtesy.

DIE PREMIER AND Ills GOUT. —The late attack o f gout from which Lord Palmerston has just re covered is the most severe the Premier has ever expe rienced ; that which laid him up 18 months ago was both long and painful, but it was exceeded in its obstinate and painful character by the. It would seem that these attacks increase in intensity with advancing age. In the last case it was not merely the feet that were affected, but the whole legs, and more especially the knees. But there is one great peculiarity in the constitution of the veteran premier, and which shows its elasticity and vital energy in a very re markable manner, and that is the extreme rapidity with which he recovers from these attacks, and throws off all traces of them. Di uNRARDs.—In the year ending at Michaelmas last 94,908 persons-260 a day —were proceeded against before justices in England for drunkenness, or for being drunk and disorderly, and 63,255 of them were con victed. The great majoritywere only fined, but above 7,000 were committed to prison. The return shows a great in crease over the previous year, for only 82,196 were then charged with drunkenness, and only 64,123 convicted. Of the persons thus charged in the last year 22,560 were females, and more than 10,000 women were convicted for being drunk. Coroners' inquests in the year 1862 found 211 verdicts of deaths from excessive drinking, 145 men and 66 women thus ended their days. The magnetic needle does not point to the North with greater certainty than is the effect produecd by Herring's magnetic brushes, &c. Dr. Hassan states, "I regard them as the most pal'ect brushes hitherto made, as respects their mechanical construction and their magnctical action." They are the remedy for grey hair, neuralgia, rheumatism, &c. N.B.—Counterfeits are being made. Offices, 32, Basinghall , street, London.
