maunder. Within little more than a thousand closely but clearly printed double-columned pages, he Las given us the pith and marrow of the volu minous Biographze Universelle. Altogether, the book is as nearly perfect and complete, as a repertory of biographical information, as such a book well could be. Its general accuracy is surprising, if it be only borne in mind how many countries, and languages, and centuries are comprised within the range taken by the compilation. More parti cularly, is this remarkable, if the multiplicity of dates and localities, requiring to be here accurately specified, is borne for an instant in recollection. How so much could by any possibility come to be compressed within so moderately-sized a volume, bewildered us to conjecture upon first taking up this same volume and turning over the leaves of it. The mystery, however, we soon enough learned to recognise and to appreciate, when the preface had been read and the body of the work itself consulted. The selection made by the compiler has been most carefully made throughout. Names of no appreciable value have been cautiously and sys tematically excluded. No commentary or criticism whatever has been indulged in. Yet is the result by no means a mere record of names, end dates, and • a few illustrative particulars. On the contrary, - while the space has been most sedulously economised, " life-like touches of conduct and character" have been intended to be imparted—and that good inten tion on the part of the compiler will be found to have been most cleverly carried out. Another fea ture of the work, not yet alluded to, is especially deserving of mention, and not only of mention but of commendation. In every instance where there could be a chance of doubt upon the matter, the pro nunciation of the name has been scrupulously de fined. Besides which it should be observed, in reference to the mere arrangement of the work—an arrangement made of course throughout. as in every dictionary, alphabetically—persons bearing the same name have been arranged in due sequence, c hronologically. Lastly, as in the " Ndtfona, Cycloiwdia" of Mr. Knight, and again in th. " Men of the Times" of Mr. Walford, in additioi, to the renowned dead, the illustrious living are in troduced into the collection. So that the range of the work is really and truly one of the very widest amplitude. Improvements will probably be made in the work in subs( quent editions, but as yet have failed in our efforts to conjecture even who possibly those improvements can be. ROYAL GEOGRAPHICAL SOCIETY. A meeting of this society was held at Burlington house, on Monday evening, the Bth of June; Sir Roderick I. Murchison, K.C.8., in the chair. Among the 28 Fellows elected were his Royal Highness the Count de Paris, the Earl of Belmore, Sir John P. Boileau, Mr. Walter Buchanan, M.P., Mr. S. W. Courtenay, M.P., Mr. G. F. Heneage, Sir T. D. Lloyd, Viscount Milton, Mr. St. Andrew St. John, the Hon. H. P. Vereker, Mr. W. 0. White ; also Lieut.-Colonel the Chevalier Sonklar von lestatten, of Vienna, as honorary and corres ponding member. The President stated that he had received a telegram it:forming him that Captains Spell() and Grant left Alexandria on the 4th inst. by the Pera for Southampton, and are due in England on the 17th. The council had decided on having an extra meeting to receive them, and the day would be announced as soon as arrange ments could be made. The President next commu nicated further intelligence of Madame Tinne and her daughter, who after having gone as far as Gondokoro and returned to Khartum, had started afresh in their steamer for the Bahr-el-Gazel, the great western effluent of the Nile. He then read -a letter from these ladies, after which he called at tention to the explorations which M. du Chaillu was about to undertake into the interior from the west coast of Africa, stating that he had resolved to go alone, and had embarked the whole of his capital in the necessary preparations and the purchase of scientific instruments, presents, &c. He proposed to raise additional means by the sale of a number of gorillas and other curious ani mals which he had brought from Africa. In con clusion, the president stated that two despatches from Mr. Consul Callender, at Rhodes, had been con municated by Earl Russell, giving particulars of the earthquake which bad visited that unfortu nate island on the 27th of April and the 2d of May ; the only scientific fact mentioned in them was that the movement of the earthquake was from west to east. The paper of the evening was on the "Phy sical Geography of the Indo- Australian Archi pelago," by Mr. Wallace, a distinguished naturalist, who has spent seven years in the Indian Ar chpelago, and had communicated papers on Borneo and other subjects. The reading of this remarkable paper by Mr. Clements Markham was followed by much applause, after which the President eulogised the ability displayed by Mr. Wallace in the arrange ment and composition of the paper, adding that the society had never sent a traveller into a foreign land who had more completely studied the grand features of its natural history, or who had combined them together in a more philosophical manner. Mr. Crawfurd, after acknowledging the merits of the paper and making observations on the inhabitants, stated some particulars respecting the volcanic erup tion of the Timboro Mountain in 1814, of which he witnessed some of the effects. At a distance of 300 miles it was pitch dark for three days; the ashes were carried by the monsoon to a distance of 1,200 miles from the mountain ; and for ten days he was obliged to write by candle-light. THE MUSES DES SOUVERAINS. This museum, which had been closed for some weeks for the purpose of rearrangement, has just been reopened to the public. M. Barbet de Jouy, who recently succeeded M. de Viel-Castel as con servator of this establishment, has adopted the chro nological order in the new arrangement, and over each compartment may be seen in large gilt letters the name of the Sovereign to whom the articles belonged.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. In the general discount market this morning there is rather less inquiry for money, but having regard to the future prospects of financial effairs brokers are unwilling to discount 3 months' paper under 4 per cent. About £42,000 in gold was bought by the Bank authorities yesterday, and in the absence of any demand for the continent further largsr amounts are ex2ected t 3 be taken into that establishment. Tne bar silver by the Tasmanian has been dis posed of at ss, lid. per ounce standard. Two o'CLocK At Paris this morning, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 69f. 25c. Heavy. The English Stock Market presents a dull and depressed appearance. Some few purchases early in the morning were effected at the quotations cur. rent yesterday, but upon sales they gave ways per cent., and Consols are, therefore, now marked 918 I for money, and 916 92 for the July account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities remain at 911 f-, ; Exchequer Bills are now 4s. dis., and Bank Stock is quoted 234. Dealings in India Stock have taken piece at 231 233 ; the 5 per Cent. Loan is marked 1071 108; the Debentures are 100 A-, and the Bonds 10a. to 14s. prem. Jn the Foreign Market, to-day, the most impor tant feature bas been the increased buoyancy of Greek Bonds, which have been as high as 39, and are now 381, or a higher than on the previous after ❑oon.

The operations in the Ihilway Share Market have not been very extensive, and prices still con tinue depressed. Caledonian, Great Western, South Western, and South Eastern have each declined 55., and London, Chatham, and Dover, £2. The foreign and Colonial lines remain very inac tive, without any material change in prices. For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there is a very limited inquiry. Bank of Australia have improved to 751,1 ; London Joint Stock reaise 36'4, and Berlin Water Works, 8-1 e ; international Financial shares are quoted 5d 6,1 prem. ; London Financial, 21- prem. ; and General Credit, 2Z- 21 prem.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is n,arly 2-10ths rcr cent, dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.5* per £1 sterling, Standard gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 4-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is about 160 per cent., and the premium on gold is about 46 per cent. At these rates there is a profit on the importation of gold from the United States. S FOR 1863. Stockbridge 18 Chelmsford 23 Newcastle-on-Tyne 23 Ipswich 25 Carlisle 3O SLY.

PORTSMOUTH, Tuesday Evening.—The strong westerly gales which have prevailed here since Friday last, have subsided to-day into moderate fine weather, with tha barometer rising slowly but steadily. Among the vessels put in for shelter are the Robert Small, with emigrants from Southampton for New Zealand, and the Amazon, with about 700 Mormons on board, fr,,m London for New York. A correspondent of the Independance Beige says that a Parisian inventor has offered to the Polish committee a new sort of fulminant which will explode even after being an hour under water.

CRUEL ROBBERY.—Henry Moore, aged•2o, and described as a labourer of Hind-street, Poplar, who is well known to the police as a tcuter to crimps, a thief, and ruffian, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with stealing 20 sovereigns, a gold watch, a silver watch, a chain, a gold brooch, and a coat, the money and property of Thomas Taylor, a bricklayer. The prosecutor, his wife, and seven children arrived in the river from Melbourne, in the ship Essex, early yester day morning. His destination was his native place, New castle-upon-Tyne, and he intended to proceed there by the steamer from a wharf in Wapping, and he engaged a man named Mabey to convey his luggage in a van to the wharf from which the steamer was to depart. The prisoner came on board the Essex in the comae of the morn ing, and pretended that he was employed by Mabey to take away some of the prosecutor's luggage. The prose cutor gave prisoner some old straw beds, and directed him to remove them from the ship. The prisoner did so, and by some means obtained pos session of Taylor's coat, which contained all his money, his watches, and other property he had accumulated by his industry in Australia. On missing the coat he went in seach of the prisoner, and made known his loss to the police. In the course of his inquiries he ascertained that a man called " Happy" had left the stolen coat in the shop of a marine store dealer, named Horace Buchan, in Robin Hood-lane, Poplar. Taylor waged upon Buchan, who delivered to him the coat, and the coat only, for the money, watches, brooch, ring, and other articles were gone. In the course of yesterday afternoon the police tracked the prisoner to a beerhouse in Poplar, and took him into custody. In answer to Mr. Woolrycb, a police-constable named Gillmore, No. 324 K, said the prisoner was known as " Happy," and was a most notorious thief, Horace Buchan, of Robin Hood-lane, marine-store dealer, said " Happy" brought the prosecutor's coat to his shop and left it there, and also brought two or three straw beds and a bag, since identified by Taylor, to the shop at the same time. Mr. Woolrych condemned the conduct of Buchan, and said he ought not to have received the coat of such a fel low as the prisoner, and could not pretend to be ignorant of who and what "Happy" was: It was a most cruel rob bery. A poor man directly he returned to his native land was basely plundered of his hard-earned money and other property. He should remand the prisoner until Saturday. MARKETS—This Day. MARK LANE. The supply of English wheat on offer here to-day was very moderate. Selected parcels were in fair demand, at Monday's prices; otherwise, the trade was dull, at about previous quotations. With foreign wheat, both ex ship and ex granary, the market was well t upplicd. Prime Dantzic and American produce changed hands to a moderate extent at late rates. Russian qualities were dull, and rather cheaper; otherwise, the trade was quiet, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain moved off slowly at previous currencies. The value of all kinds of barley was well supported; but the trade—owing to more favourable accounts respecting the crop—was far frcm active. Malt was in good demand, and prices ruled firm. The oat trade was less active, and, in some instances, the quotations were somewhat easier. The market was well supplied. _ . Bears and peas ruled firm, at fully previous rates. Most kinds of flour were in moderate request, and prices wera steadily supported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flout.

" Wanted a Governess" was the title of a song with which Mr. John Parry amused the public so many years ago, writes a London Reviewer, that it is diffi cult to conceive that he is identical with the youthful gentleman who now performs nightly at the gallery of Illus'ration in Regent-street.

(Sittings in Banco at We4minster, before the Lord Chief Justice, Mr. Justice Wightman, Mr. Justice Crompton, and Mr. Justice Blackburn,) THE EARL OF CARDIGAN V. LIEUT..COLONEL THE HON. SOMERSET TALBOT CALTHORPE-THE LIGHT CAVALRY CHARGE AT BALARLAVA. Mr. Boviti having replied on behalf of the Earl of Car digan's application to make rule absolute. Mr. Garth, at the sitting of the Court this morning, followed on the same side, dealing at some length with the three points raised yesterday by Mr. Sergeant Shee. He contended that the manner in which Colonel Calthorpe had met the allegations made against his work by Lord ardigan were uncandid and ungenerous. He had said) " I cheerfully declare myself satisfied that Lord Cardigan entered the .Kussian battery," thus turning the noble lord into a playthin g w i t h out making hi m a s i ng le at om o f reparation, and refusing him an apology. Considering that the slanderer was an officer who held a low rank in the army, while the slandered was Lieutenant-General the Earl of Cardigan, who had received the thanks of Parlia ment and the acknowledgments of Lord Raglan and Lo. d Lucan and of his country in many ways, he cinsidered that Colonel Calthorpe's was the most unhandsome, the most un generous, the most uncandid, and the most unbecoming style of retractation that could be imagined. The Lord Chief Justice said he could entertain no doubt that the passage in Colonel Calthorpe's work, upon which the present application had been made for a criminal infor mation, contained a most serious libel upon the Earl of Car digan. He thought it was impossible to read that passage without coming to the conclusion that that which it was intended to convey was an imputation upon the Earl of Cardigan of having been wanting in his duty at a time when he was in command of a detachment of cavalry ordered to attack the Russian b a t tery, of h av i ng b een wan ti ng i n his duty from want o f personal courage. It was true that, in the first e di t i on cf th i s wor k, th e a b sence o f Lord Cardigan as a general efflux was suggested when his presence was necessary, and it as ascribed to an accident, It was said that his horse became alarmed by the discharge of a cannon close to his head, and that the horse swerved and carried Lord Cardigan away, in spite of himself, off the field. This was charly intended to imply, that Lord Cardigan never reached the battery which the detachment under his orders was directed to take, but it ascribed his failure to reach that battery which others reached, and through which they carried their attack, to an accident. Lord Cardigan, feeling that be had reason to com plain of this statement, as of many others contained in that work, made it the subject of complaint and remonstrance. In the second edition a notice was prefixed to the work, which in the third edition was incorporated in the shape of a note, and in that notice in the second edition and the note in the third, that which was given in the first edition as a cir cumstance accounting for Lord Cardigan's failure to reach the battery, which the rest of the line under his command did reach, was withdrawn in the shape of a compliment,— a compliment ostensibly on the face of it, but which con veyed, in his judgment, the bitterest sarcasm—that it was not the fault of Lord Cardigan's horse, but his own fault, that he failed to reach the scene of danger through which the others passed, It was impossible, he thought, to doubt that that was intended to convey that Lord Cardigan had been wanting in that per sonal courage necessary to the discharge of his duty. To say that a soldier ordered to attack an enemy, much more a general and a leader whose duty it was to lead others into action, stopped short midway in the path which led to danger, and perhaps to death, while others went in without any obstacle or any cause to prevent them, must, he was sure, convey to the mind of any military man, and to the mind of any man conversant with such matters, an imputation of personal cowardice, disgrace, and dis honour. It was impossible, therefore, not to feel that this was a matter of a most libellous character. Heaven forbid that the time should ever come when the honour and repu tation of the soldiers and sailors engaged in the service of this country should ever be unjustifiably assailed without redress being opened to them. There could be n:) doubt, it this were a true view, as he (the learned judge) thought it was, that looking to the position of the parties, looking to the importance of the service to which this passage had refer• ence, the matter was one that would, probably, be the sub ject of a criminal information, unless some special cause could be shown why a rule for a criminal information should not be made absolute. Now, these reasons had been put forward why the Court should not make the rule absolute in this case. First, that the substance of the passage com plained of was true, or that at all events that the affidavits that had been produced on the part of the defendant so conflicted with those of the complainant, that the Court could not take upon itself to try the matters on affidas it. Secondly, it was said that at all events whether the state ments were well or ill founded, it was written in reference to a matter of public importance and public inte rest, a matter of history, that it was a privi leged matter, and not the subject matter of a criminal information. Thirdly, that the conduct of the parties had been such that what had taken place subsequently to the publication of the work had pre cluded the prosecutor from applying to the court success fully. He would deal briefly with these points in the order in which they had been stated. In the first place it was stated that substantially the statement contained in the passage upon which this application was founded was true. He must say he could not understand weat was meant by any argument founded on that assertion. It turned indeed upon what was the true construction of the libel in question. If, as was contended yesterday, all which that passage cony. yed was that Lord Cardigan, from some cause or other, was absent when his presence was desired, it might ba sad that, to a certain extent, it had been made out that that was true. But that, in his judgment, was not the true character or meaning of this libellous passage. He thought it was not the gist of the statement complained of that Lord Cardigan was absent when his pi esence as general was much to be desired. The gist and sting of the libel was this, that L d Cardigan was absent, not from defect of judgment, or from any accidental cause, but because he had not the courage to face the danger, which the brave men whom he led, did face, and nobly contend against. So that it was incorrect to say that the substance of this charge was true; and Col. Calthorpe had been, through his counsel, constrained to say, that if that was the view, he was satis fied by the affidavits which had been filed, that his view Was incorrect, and that his statements were ill-founded. Then with regard to the affidavits which bad been adduced. It was said that there was a conflict upon those affidavits, and that the court could not try the question. There was no conflict of any substantial character between the affidavits of the prosecution and the detendant, but the defendant seemed to give the go-by to the real question at issue. The libel was that Lord Cardigan failed to reach the battery be cause he turned short halt-way in the path that led to it. Colonel Calthorpi had admitted that that was an erroneous and ill-founded statement. He was constrained to admit that Lord Cardigan did reach the battery, and that he passed through it, and he meets the charge by saying that, admitting all, he took the ground upon the statement that Lord Cardigan came out of the battery sooner than he ought to have done. But that was a totally different charge from that to which the affidavits of the prosecutor were addressed. So that he thought there was no conflict when the real nature of the charge came to be considered. He should be sorry to lay down any rule on this point as of universal application, or to state what the Court would do in any cise because there were conflicting affidavits. It was true generally that the Court would not try questions upon affidavits but would leave parties to their remedy; that however was not a rule of universal application, and he saw no reason . why in this cas e the Court should not make the rule absolute, if, looking to other circumstances it was thought a fit one for a criminal infor mation. But it was said that whether the imputation was true or not this was a case in which the defendant, writing as an historian of the events of that campaign, had a right to make such comments as he pleased upon Lord Cardigan, who had borne so conspicious a part in it ; but this again must be taken with certain limitations. It was true that the events in question were of the deepest public character and importance. It was true that the conduct of the men who were engaged in thosetransactions was fairly and legi timately matter of public. Ie adverted to what had passed between Col. Calthorpe and one of the friends authorised by Lord Cardigan to negotiate on the matter, and which altogether took away the fouvelatien on which this rule was absolutely granted. Connected with this subject was the destruction of I,COO copes of the last edition, a fact which was not known to the Court when the application for a rule nisi was made; otherwise it might have made a difference i n the decision of the Court. The learned Judge, having passed a high eulogium on the military career of Lord C ardi g an, said the rule must be dis missed, but without costs. The other judges concurred. Rule discharged. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulbuin.) IN RE W, P. WAUGH, His Honour today gave judgment on the question as to whether this bankrupt, Colonel Waugh, formerly one of the directors of the London and Eastern Bank, should bo allowed to surrender after having been outlawed. After a long argument on Monday his honour, on the authority of several cases qtioted on behalf of the bankrupt by Mr. Roxburgh, decided that the Court had the power to inter pose and ace( pt the surrender. Mr. C. E. Lewis, on be half of the ( fficial liquidators of the London and Eastern Bank, proceeded to show that, although the Court might have the power it was discretionary, and he opposed ; but his honour held that Mr, Lewis had no locus standi, but left the question open whether a bankrupt could be ad mitted to the privilege of surrendering, and by so doing avoiding the penalties incident to outlawry in bankruptcy, without bringing into Court all property he was possessed of at the time of his bankruptcy. The bankrupt had ad mitted that when he left England he had £5OO which he stated he had expended for the use of himself and family. His Honour now referred to the main facts of the case, and said it was one which showed to what extraordinary lengths and to what awful depths a man might be led by speculation, and the "making haste to get rich," without his consiLering his duty to others. For years the bank rupt had held a very high station and position in society. He had rank in the army, having served with great distinc tion, and to all appearance he was a man of fortune and affluence. He embarked recklessly and improvidently in the banking speculation. He was driven to quit the coun try, and now he appeared at the bar of the Court a pauper, without health and without means, to petition for leave to do that which he ought to have done years ago—disclose the estate which he had. This certainly was a very melan choly position for a man of the bankrupt's antecedents. His Honour concluded by saying he could not grant the prayer of the petition unless the bankrupt brought the1..500, or the assignees consented to waive that requirement. Mr. Linklater said he would communicate with the as signees, and the case was adjourned fora week. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER. Henry Short, shoemaker, was indicted for the man slaughter of James Sully. The jury found the prisoner guilty, and the learned judge sentenced him to one month's imprisonment. Ann Doggett was indicted for the manslaughter of her husband. The deceased carried on the business of an ironmonger in High-street, Shoreditch, and his death was occasioned, it was alleged, by the neglect of his wife (the prisoner). The Learned Judge was of opinion that the evidence offered was not sufficient to establish the charge, and the jury accordingly returned a verdict of not guilty. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE ROBBERY AT LORD CHESHAWS. Roderick O'Lochlin and Arthur Hewitt were indicted for feloniously breaking and entering the house of Charles Compton Cavendish, Baron Chesham, and stealing there from a large quantity of plate, jewellery, watches, and other property valued at upwards of £l,lOO. The prisoners were captured by the police as they were getting over the garden wall of his lordship's house in Gros venor-square. The jury found them both guilty. They were ticket-o. Leave men. The Recorder said as they had life-preservers upon their poisons, it was evident they had providrd for any resis tance, and as they had both before been sentenced to penal servitude for four years, he should on the present occasion sentence O'Lochiin to 10 and Hewitt to 15 years penal ser vitude. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ARTFUL MODE OF PICKING A SHOPKEEPER'S POCKET —John Freeman, a fellow who refused his address, was charged with picking the pocket of Mrs. Sarah Stevens, the wife of Mr. Stevens, stationer, 14, Duke-street, Grosvenor square, of a purse containing £1 12s. Std. under the follow iug circumstances : It appeared from the evidence that prisoner went into Mr. Stevens' shop about nine o'clock the previous night and asked to see a visite card. Mrs. Stevens took one from the window, and the prisoner objected to the price, and asked to see another. Mrs. Stevens took a second card from the window, and while doing so prisoner said, " What a fuss you are making." Mrs. Stevens then felt her dress trod on, and directly after the prisoner bolted out of the shop, when Mrs. Stevens missed her purse from her pocket, containing the sum of £1 12s. Sid. She told her errand boy to pursue the prisoner, and he did so, Mr, Alfred Murray, staymaker, of Duke-street, also joining in the pursuit, and seen the prisoner throw the purse away in his flight, Lazarus Howes, 95 C, then came up and took the prisoner into custody, when the prisoner, with much coolness, asked the constable " Whether anything was the matter ?" Inspector Charles Bowles asked for a remand that inquiries might be made to see if prisoner was known. The prisoner was committed for trial, but will be again brought up. COMMITTAL WITHOUT A FINE FOR A ,R,UFFIANLY ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—John M'Donald, a fellow who gets his living by hawking books about the neighbourhood of the Haymarket, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with the following cowardly assault on a female named Oates, residing in Rathbone-place : The complainant, a young married woman, said she was on her way to see an invalid female, and when crossing the Lop of the Haymarket, having at the time a bottle of port wine under her shawl, the prisoner asked her to buy a book of him. She refused, and the prisoner then struck her a violent blow on the chest with his fist, breaking her brooch, smashing the bottle, and hurting her a good deal. A con stable then came up, to whom she gave the prisoner in charge. Sergeant Allen, 20 C, said that when he took the prisoner into custody several gentlemen said the prisoner had vio lently struck the complainant. Mr. Tyrwhitt having made some sevore remarks on the prisoner's cowardly conduct, committed him for six weeks with hard labour. 21 23 525 035 92 95 kid 28k 296 ip 7 74 3/ 4 11 13 44 5 66 7 6 64 40 47 26 3 ; 3t 31 6 1 6 i 110 120 11 2} 3; 1 4k 41 44 5i 42 44 402; 407; 3 34 75 80 36 38 19i 2gi 12 13 25 27 240 250 67i 72i 50 CO 8.1.6 4.16. , 1 5.12 4. 7.0 2.0.6 1.0?, 4.3.0 21 161 2.17.( 2.4.9 10.0.7 I} 5.15.0 18.1..9 28.9. 52/ 49 241 5 67i 61 776 6 117 431 46 3 1u26 a 2 1051 41 lit i 1021 89& a 9? li 1101 9f 93 4 1 IMPERIAL PARLIAMENT ROUSE OF COMMONS.---This Day.

INNKEEPERS' LIABILITY (No, 1) BILL. Mr. W. MARTIN moved that the Speaker do leave the chair. Sir F. GOLDSINIID desired to intimate that he should offer no further opposition to the measure. The promoters had placed various amendments on the paper, which would completely alter and at the same time materially improve the provisions of the bill. Mr. PACKS also withdrew his opposition to the measure. The house then went into committee. Clause 1 was withdrawn, and the following amendment, by Mi. HUNT, substituted :—" After the passing of this act no innkeeper shall be liable to make good to any guest of such innkeeper any loss of or injury to goods or property brought to his inn, not being a horse or ether live animal, or any gear appertaining thereto, cr any carriage, to a greater amount than the sum of thirty pounds, except in the following cases t —That is to say--1, Where such goods or property shall have been stolen, lost, or injured through the wilful default or neglect of such innkeeper, or any servant in his employ ; and, 2. where such goods or property shall have been deposited expressly for safe custody with such innkeeper, or his servant authorised by him for that pur poses. Provided always, that in the case of such deposit it shall be lawful for such innkeeper, if be think fit, to re quire, as a condition of his liability, that such goods or pro perty shall be deposited in a box or other receptacle, and that the person depositing the same shall affix his seal to the fastening thereof." Mr. ROEBUCK proposed a clause to the effect that £3O be the limit of compensation, end that the onus of proving the value thereof rest with the °when Mr. LOCKE said it would be incumbent upon the owner, if he went to law, to prove the value of the property. . - - Mr. HEYGArE supported the clause, and mentioned a case of great injustice which had occurred to an innkeeper in Leicestershire, After a short discussion, the proviso of the hon. and Learned member for Sheffield was withdrawn. Mr. W. MARTIN proposed the adoption of the follow ing clauses :--" If any innkeeper shall refuse to receive for safe custody, as before mentioned, any goods or property of his guest, or if any such guest shall, through any default of such 'innkeeper, be unable to deposit such goods or property as aforesaid, he shall not be en titled to the benefit of this Act, in respect of such goods or property.

The rapidity with which the attack was overcome speaks highly in favour of the Turkish bath as a remedial agent in such cases. A private letter from one of Mr. Urquhart's friends, received in London yesterday, says—" The Turkish bath appears to me to have acted most perfectly, for I am sure if the treat ment of Mr. Urquhart's case had been by any medicinal means, which I and others are in the habit of prescribing, the cure would have been at the price of much debility and depression, whereas in five days the bath, with the full in fluence of the douche, bas brought about the remarkable result without either of the drawbacks just mentioned. , The fact established that the Turkish bath is a remedy for gout above any other, for not only a rapid cure but early relief, will be pleasing intelligence to thousands.

The trustees of the late Mr. James Miller, of Glasgow, had also paid to the institution a legacy of £lOO left to it by that gentleman. It was also stated that at the annual meeting of the Man chester Unity of the Independent Order of Odd Fellows, held on Saturday last, it had been resolved to make a voluntary subscription throughout the order in aid of the National Lifeboat Institution, in consideration of its philan thropic and national character. It was also reported that Lieut. W. Farquhar, R.N,, of her Majesty's ship Racehorse, on the China station, had forwarded a kind donation of £5 to the institution. Payments amounting to £384 having been made to various lifeboat establishments, the proceedings termi nated. THE " PARLIAMENTARY DODO." Mr. Whalley is a parliamentary dodo; he Lelongs to the past, and has slipped by some mistake into the present. He was meant to be the contemporary of Lord Eldon and Mr. Pereaval—not of Lord Palmerston and Mr. Gladstone. His lot has fallen on evil times, and he preaches the old No Popery doctrine to an unbelieving and indifferent genera tion. Year after year he re-appears as the forlorn champion of an extinct cause; Maynooth is the bugbear of his life ; visions of Papal bulls, and cardinals in purple stockings, and auto da fes in Smithfield, float before his ex cited imagination. The " Wandering Jew" of politics, he conceives it to be his mission in life to defeat the machina tions of Jesuit plotters at home and abroad. We have no wish to deny the member for Peterborough the merit of consistency ; he is a worthy successor of Mr. Spooner ; and the orange mantle of genuine old Protestantism could not have fallen on an Elisha more fitted to follow in Elijah's footsteps. The veteran antagonist of Maynooth had, how ever, a claim for consideration on the score of his age, which his successor, happily for himself, cannot yet advance. Mr. Whalley is sufficiently young, and possesses sense enough, to learn by experience ; and surely the teaching of the last few years cannot have been lost upon him utterly. With each succeeding session the house has grown more weary of his annual protest ; the number of his supporters has fallen off vote after vote; and it is with difficulty he can obtain leave to speak in behalf of his favourite hobby. The Maynooth grant is a sorry instalment towards the debt due to those of our Irish fellow citizens who belong to the Catholic faith ; but it is an instalment, and as such we feel it must be productive of good, not evil. Consider ing that the Established Church receives some twenty shil lings per head for every one of its members from the resources of the country, it is unreasonable, as Mr. Black pointed out in the course of the debate, to grumble at a grant not amounting to more than five far things per head allowed to the members of what in Ireland is the religion of the majority. The force of those reflec tions has caused the English public to acquiesce in a mea sure which undoubtedly is distasteful to its prejudices; and it would be well if its opponents would consider whether the common decision is not a right one. We have no hope of converting the member for Peterborough to acknowledge the justice of the verdict which has been pro nounced again and again ; but what we do hope is, thattthne Liberal members who gave him their support will r eflect what they were really about. Men like Mr. Baines and the Ayrton ought not to be found in the same lobby with gentle men members for Warwickshire. Surely, the hundreing l men who were bold enough to record their w v i o t t h es few favour of abolishing the grant to Maynooth must, woud lead to.

POLICE EXCURSION TO THE RYE HOUSE.—The members of the it division of police, accompanied by their brass baud, under the direction of Inspector Pierce, and about 200 of their friends, paid a visit to that delightful place of amusement, the Rye House, It may be mentioned that this is the third anniversary, and it is much to the credit of Superintendent O'Brien, seconded by inspector Pierce, that the police have at least ono day's holiday in the course of the year. Arrived on the spot, the company separated themselves over the grounds. Tho rosery is in full bloom, and the castle gardens presented a very gay ap pearance, having been now completely relaid, and ex clusively arranged in beds, in which about 20,000 plants present a striking display of floral beauty. The cricket fields are in good order, and invigorators (like those at the Crystal Palace), and the trapeze amusement have been added to the means of recreation. The brass band of the E division, under the able direction of their leader, Mr. Lane, late of the Royal Horse Artillery, played several popular airs during the course of the day, much to the satisfaction of the cowpan y. After a pleasant day's amusement, the com pany retired to town, highly gratified with a r3 l u l ,s4 t s3 h i3a ey , seen.
