Maunder. Within little more than a thousand closely but clearly printed double-columned pages, lie t as given us the pith and marrow of the volu minous Biographe Universelle. Altogether, the book is nearly perfect and complete, as a repertory of 'lclrEtphical information, as such a book well "Icl be. Its general accuracy is surprising, If It be only borne in mind how many countries, an d languages, and centuries are comprised within. The tabge taken by the compilation. More path ‘c_ul-"arly, is this remarkable, if the multiplicity of dates and localities, requiring to be here accurately aPecified, is borne for an instant in recollection. Row 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 %true volume and turning over the leaves of it. The Mystery, however, we soon enough Leart-e-zd to recognise and to appreciate, when the preface Lad 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 cleveny 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- Ened. Besides which it should be observed, in reference to the mere arrangement of the work—an arrangement made of course throughout. as in every di ctionary, alphabetically—persons bearing the same name have been arranged in due sequence, c hronologically. Lastly, as in the "National Cyclopedia" of Mr. Knight, and again in 6 4 ' Men of the Times" of Mr. Walford, in addition 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 subsequent editions, but as yet we have failed in our efforts to conjecture even what 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 Instatten, of Vienna, as honorary and corres ponding member. The President stated that he had received a telegram informieg him that Captains Speke 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- Inents could be made. The President next commu nicated further intelligence of Madame Tinne and her daughter, who after having gone as far as Clondekoro 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 be 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 eni rnals 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 had visited that unfortu nate island on the 27thof 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• pelage," by Mr. Wallace, a distinguished naturalist, 'Who has spent seven years in the Indian Ar ehpelago, and had communicated papers on Borneo %l ed other subjects. The reading of this remarkable Paper by Mr. Clements Markham was followed by leach 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. Crawford, 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 candlelight. THE MUSEE DES SOUVERAINS. This museum, which had been closed for some weeks for the purpose of rearrangement, bas just been reopened to the public. M. Barbet de Jouy, 'who recently succeeded M. de Viel-Castel as con- i ervator 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.

In the general discount market this morning there is rather less inquiry for money, but having regard to the future prospects of financial effdirs 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 larger amounts are ex2ected to be taken into that establishment. The bar silv er b y t h e Tasmanian has b een dis posed of at ss, lid. per ounce standard. Two o'CLocx. At Paris this mornin according to Mr. Reute r ' s g, telegram, th e 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 911 for money, and 914 92 for the July account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities remain at 911 1 ; Exchequer Bills are now 45 dis., and Bank Stock is quoted 234. Dealings in India Stock have taken place at 231 233 ; the 5 per Cent. Loan is marked 1.074 108; the Debentures are 100 s, and the Bonds 10s. to 14s. prom. In 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 38 I, or thigher than on the previous after noon. The Coupons have also risen I, being 181-19. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 711 1 ; do., Con solides, 504 1; Venezuela 6 per Cents., 581 a ; Portuguese, 491 4 ; Mexican 33/ a ; Granada, 15; ; Egyptian, 100 4; Spanish Passive, 331 4; ditto Certificates, 114 12; Italian, 721 a.

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 inn .. tive, witti at any material change in prices. For Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there is a very limited inquiry. Bank of Australia have improved to 75/ 1 ; London Joint Stock realise 36a, and Berlin Water Works, 81 ; International Financial shares are quoted 5/ 61 prem. ; London Financial, 21 prem. ; and General Credit, 2/ 2/ 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 I,er cent. dealer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 424 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.54 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. SHIPPING—This Day. GRAVESEND, Wednesday Morning. Arrived, June 9.—Speedwell, from Demerara.

HEALTH OF MR. URQURART.—The friends of this gentleman will be glad to learn that he has co far recovered from his very severe attack of gout as to be enabled to drive out in his open carriage. The rapidity with which the attack was overcome specks highly in favour of the Turkish bath as a remedial agent in such cases. A privete 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 prescribng, the cure would have been at the price of much debility and depression, whereas in five days the bath, with the full in • fineness of the douche, has brought about the remarkable result without either of the drawbacks just mentioned." The o fact established that the Turkish bath is a rem ed y for cut above any other, for not only a rapid cure but carl3, relief, , will be plsasing intelligence to thousands.

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 allegation, made against his work by Lord Cardigan were uncaniid and ungenerous. He had said, " I cheerfully declare myself satisfied that Lord Cardigan entered the Itussian battery," thus turning the noble lord into a playtting without making him a single atom 6t reparation, and refusing him an apology. Considering that the slanderer was an officer who held a low rank iu the army, while the slandered was Lieutenant• General the Earl of Cardig.oa, who had received the thanks of ParliaT ment and the acknowledgments of Lord Raglan and Lo, d Lucan and of his country in many ways, he c•,nsidered that Colonel Calthorpe's was the most unb.andsome, the most un- generous, the most uncandid, and the most unbecoming style of retractatiou that could be imagined. The Lord Chief Justice said he could entertain no doubt that the passage in Colonel Calthorpe's work, upon which he present appication had been made for a criminal infor- melon, 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 battery, of having been wanting in his duty from want of personal courage. It was true that, in the first edition t.f this woik, the absence of Lord CardigaL as a general officer was suggested when his presence was necessary, and it was ascribe/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 swayed and carried Lord Caruigan away, in spite of himself, off the field This was clearly intended to imply, that Lord Cardigan never reached the batriry which the detachment under his orders was directed to take, but it acribed his failure to reach that battery which others reacbed, 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 aty 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 withou: redress being opened to them. There could be na doubt, if 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 way 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 affidavit. Secondly, it was said that at all events whether the state ments ware 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 iniormation. Thirdly, that the conduct of the parties had been such that what had taken place subsequently to the publication of the work had pre- eluded 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 passace upon which this application was founded was true. He must say he could not understand w;.at was meant by any argument Pounded on that assertion. It turned iadeed upon what was the true construction of the libel in question. It, 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 migh be said that, to a certain extent, it had been made ou that that was true. But that, in his judgment, was not the true character or meaning of this libellous passage. Ha thought it was not the gist of the statement complained of that Lord Cardigan was absent wh en hi s p ; eseace as g e nera l was much to be desired. The gist and sting of the libel was this, that LA 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 had 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 defendant, 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-w a y in the path that led to it. Colonel Caltliorp 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 c tee because there were conflic , ing affidavits. It was true g enerall y that the Court would nut try questions upon affidavits but would leave parties to their remedy; that however was not a rule i of universal application, and he saw no rea son why n this case the C ourc shouldnot 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 Le 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. tie adverted to what had passed between Col. Calthorpe and one of the friends authorised by Lord Cardigan to negotiate on the matter, and wh:ch altogether took away the foukdation on which this rule was absolutely granted. Connected with this subject was the destruction of 1,000 copits 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 in the decision of the Court. The learned Judge, having passed a high eulogium on the military oareer of Loid 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 Goulbutn.) IN RE W, r. wAvaii. His Honour to-day gave judgment on the question as to whether this bankrupt, Colonel Waugh, formerly one of the directors of the London and Eastern Bank, should be allowed to surrender after having been outlawed. After a long argument on Monday his honour, on the authority of several cases quoted on behalf of the bankrupt by Mr. Roxburgh, decided that the Court had the power to inter pose and aua pt the surrender. Mr. C. E. Lewis, on be half of the official 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 Le ad mitted to the privilege of surrendering, and by so doing avoiding the penaltie' 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 conskiering his duty to others. For years the bask- 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 the L5OO, or the assignees consented to waive that requirement. Mr. Linklater said he would communicate with the as signees, and the case was adjourned for a week. CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT—This Day. ---4- OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Baron Bramwell.) CHARGE 01" 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 imprisonmrint. 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 tho evidence offered was not sufficient to establish the charge, and the jury accordingly returned a verdict of not guilty. NE W COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE ROBBERY AT LORD CHESHAM'S. 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 ether 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-of leave men. The Recorder said as they had life-preservers upon their pc , sons, it was evident they had provided 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'Lochlin to le 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. 81d. under the follow ing 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 ono 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 LI 12s. 81d. 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 sees 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 'RUFFIANLY 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 cop 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 stru'k the complainant. Mr. Tyrwhitt having made some severe remarks on the prisoner's cowardly conduct, committed him for six weeks with hard labour.

Bolero CRUEL Itoannnv.—Henry Moore, aged 20, and described as a labourer of Hind-street, Poplar, who is well known to the police as a t• uter 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 peach 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 dace, Poplar. Taylor waited 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. Woolrych, 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 hag, since identified by Taylor, to the shop at the same tine. 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 be 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 r upplicd. Prime Dantsic 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 were steadily supported. Flour 260 ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt.

They would find it very difficult to compel people to proceed with petitions, as with ordinary prosecutions, against their will. Mr. BOUVERIE supported the bill. Mr. AYRTON doubted whether they would not do more' harm than good in discouraging the presentation of petitions against the validity of the return of members. If, unlike ordinary prosecutions, which involved no costs, they cast heavy responsibilities on petitioners against the return of at m hm e ee m nb bi lm r l s e , wn t ta h s e in h re o ca u od s m e would perpetrate a great injustice.

The evil to be guarded against was unduly interfere ` g with the right of the subject to petition that house. We re tho bill to be passed in. its present state it would actually :`nter fere with the right of petition. The Election Petitions Act of 1848 provided that sureties should be entered into by one, two, three, or four persons to the extent of £1,04 1 0 one or several sums, to prosecute petitions, and it provided: that in the event of the withdrawal of petitions against re turns the cost of sitting members and all other parties should be defrayed by the petitioners. The right hon. gentleman pointed out several clauses of this bill that appeared to him to require timentment at a future age, such as freeing peti tioncrs who might be proved to have acted bona fide from costs. He should t-upport the second reading. Sei—.aut PIGOTT supported the bill, considering that; it would not commit any injustice, but, on the contrary,, would initiate a wholeso me s y stem of fair dealing Sir W.

The ceremony of uncovering the memorial of the Great Exhibition of 1851 was performed this afternoon in the gardens of the Royal Horticultural Society, in the presence of their Royal Highnesses the Prince and Princess of Wales and the Royal Family. The guests invited to take part in the ceremony com menced assembling shortly after one beneath the western dome of the International Exhibition building, South Ken sington. Between two and three the scene presented was one of great beauty and magnificence. Among those present were the Duke of Buccleuch, Lord Overstone, Lord Eversley, , Mr. Cardwell, Sir J. Pakington, Sir M. ,Peto, Lord Llanover, Col. Sykes, Lord Taunton, the Hon. B. Disraeli, Mr. Baring, Mr. Lowe, Earl Stanhope, Sir S. Northcote, Professor Owen, Sheriffs Jones and Lawrence, Hon. W..

To enliven the long "wait" the council engaged several of the most celebrated bands, and notwithstanding they dis- , cussed most eloquent music, the hour of the royal party's arrival was anxiously looked for. A few minutes before four o'clock her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge arrived, and a few minutes after, pro eiely at four o'clock, their Royal Highnesses en tered the building amidst the cheers of the assembled company, the united bands playing severally the National Anthems of England and Denmark. The Executive Committee of the Memorial Committee 'were then pre sented to their Royal Highnesses. His Grace the Duke of Buccleuch introduced the principal members of the Hor ticultural Society, and then a flourish of trumpets was the signal for the procession to move. It consisted of the fol lowing bodies, who took their places in the order named, and four abreast., Trumpeters: Mr. George Eyles, the Superintendent of the Horticul tural Gardens. The Sculptor, Mr. Joseph Durham. Memorial Committee. Mayors, Provosts, and Chief Magistrates of those Cities and Towns which in 1851 formed Local Committees.

The Grenadier Guards' band headed the procession on its starting from the western dome, and played until the royal party ascended the gallery stairs in the Exhibition, when the royal party entered the balcony which had been erected facing the memorial, and overlooking the whole of the splendid gardens. When all had taken their places, Mr. Godwin presented his Royal Highness with an address suitable to the occa sion, and his Royal Highness having said a few words in reply, the order was given to uncover the memorial, and the canvass was removed amidst a salute from the Royal Artillery, which had been placed at the service of the society by the Duke of Cambridge. The procession then descended from the balcony and entered the garden through the centre arch, turning to the left. The united Guards' bands played during the passing of the procession the "Prince of Wales' March," ceasing when the Royal party mounted the steps loading out of the ante-garden. The procession next proceeded to the western side of the garden, where their Highnesses paused for a short time to look at the memorial and garden, and having gone through the whole of the gardens returned to their carriages, and left the building amidst the same enthusiasm that greeted their arrival. The memorial stands on the stone basement erected to receive it by the Horticultural Society, at the head of the lake, and facing the conservatory.

The following bills were read a second time : —lsle of Wight Railways (Extensions) —Merthyr, Tredegar, and Abergavenny Railway—and Tottenham and Hampstead Junction Railway. INNKEEPERS' LIABILITY (No, I) BILL. Mr. IV. MARTIN moved that the Speaker do leave the chair. Sir F. GOLDSMID 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. PACKE also withdrew his opposition to the measure. The house then went into committee. Clause 1 was withdrawn, and the following amendment, by Mt. 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, or any carriage, to a greater amount than the sum of thirty pounds, except in the following cases —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 he 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 owner. Mr. LOCKE said it would be incumbent upon the owner, if ho went to law, to prove the value of the property. Mr. HEYGA TE 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.
