All the other observations ard made at noon. a criminal jurisdiction, and the unbiassel opinions of a jury of twelve true men, you really do fair and equal justice. The offence is equal, let the remedy, or the chance of remedy be equal. The offenders are alike peccant, let their punishment, or their chance of punishment, be similar. Take away a jurisdiction that is presented with two alternatives, one of which can never be equally applied to the cases of two offenders not in equal circumstances. Remit, on proof ten dered to the satisfaction of the committing magistrate, both cases to another tribunal, which has one defined jurisdiction, and is liable to no such fluctuations between two alternatives— and whose decision must be beyond the imputation that cannot but apply to those of the magistrate, who may either summarily fine, or im prison, or refer the case before him for trial at a criminal assizes. We have received Madrid journals of the 7th inst. On that day the Chamber of Deputies resumed the dis cussion on the budget of receipts for 1845, which was fixed at 1,226,000,000 reals (12,260,0001.) One of the articles in the estimates of revenue imposes a tax of 300,000,000 reals (3,000,0001.) on landed property, which Senor BRAVO MURILLO proposed to reduce to 200,000,000 reals, but the amendment was rejected by a majority of 60 to 46. A division of the Royal Guard was to leave Madrid on the 13th for Barcelona, and the QUEEN, it was understood, would proceed to the same place about the 25th of this month. On the 7th the Bourse opened with a considerable ad vance, but heavy sales afterwards caused some depression. The Three per Cents. closed at 341 for cash, and 35i at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 251 at 60 days ; the Provisional Debt at 8i at 60 days; and the Debt without Interest at 81 at 60 days. The French Chamber of Deputies on Tuesday com menced the discussion on the Northern Railroad Bill with branches to Calais and Dunkirk, and a line from St. Quentin to Creil. This Bill was opposed by M. DE RUMILLY, who contended that the execution of such works ought not to be entrusted to companies, but be conducted by the State and afterwards leased out. M. GARNIER PAGES took the same view of the Bill, and thought the State should have all the lines under their control, merely letting them to companies on certain conditions. The general discussion closed with these two speakers, and the discussion on the first clause was going on at the hour of post. Most of the Paris journals have articles on the Maynooth question. The National praises the liberal policy pursued by Sir ROBERT PEEL. The Journal des Debats also commends the new To - ry policy. "The measures," it says, " which are proposed by the English Government are based upon the principle which has long dominated in France—viz., the neutrality of the State in religious matters. They are based on the principles of philosophy of the eighteenth century, which were consecrated by the Revolution of 1789, and which are even the founda tion of the constitution of our country. On these grounds, therefore, we can only express our entire ap probation; but we claim the liberty of saying as a hii torical fact, which cannot be contested, that these mea sures are a perfect revolution in the spirit of English le gislation, and that these principles are completely op posed to those on which the constitution of Great Britain has hitherto rested. Vie must not forget that the revo lutions of England were religious revolutions, whilst those of France were philosophic revolutions ; that, on the one side, it was the principle of Protestant supre macy that triumphed ; and, on the other, that of the equality of all religions in the eye of the law. This is the position that English Protestantism now abandons. The State which, since the time of the Reformation, had become Protestant, is now become laic, and the French principle, or rather the social principle of the separation of temporal and spiritual power, is now admitted into British legislation." The following are miscellaneous extracts from the papers:— We read in the Constitutionnel:—" The Ministeral jour nals have made a great noise about the treaty of peace with Morocco; but the following fact will show how much im portance ought to be attached to this treaty, and warrants our representing it as a mere lure to obtain a favourable opi nion from the public. We have noticed the journey of M. Horace Vernet, who was sent by order of the Government to paint a picture of the battle of Isly ; but he has met with an obstacle he very little expected. On arriving at Ouchda, the caid nearest the frontier informed him that he must return, as he, the caid, had received an express order from his Go vernment not to suffer any European to enter the territories of Morocco. M. Horace Vernet offered him a bribe of 12,000 f. to allow him to pass, but this was refused. Conse quently the artist was obliged to return as he went." The Moniteur Algirien of the sth has an account of a splendid ball at Algiers on the 30th ult., given by the Gover nor-General and his lady. The ball was opened by his Royal Highness the Duke de Montpensier and the daughter of Marshal Bugeaud, and the dancing continued till daylight with no other interruption than the supper, which consisted of all the luxuries and delicacies that Europe and Africa could supply. The France, in allusion to the rumour that the Queens of England and Spain, the King and Queen of Naples, and the King of Holland, are about to visit Paris, takes upon itself to assert, as far as their Neapolitan Majesties are concerned, there is not the slightest truth in the rumour. The Three per Cents. closed on the Paris Bourse on Tues day, at 86f. 25c. ; the New Loan, at 86f. 65c. ; the Five per Cents., at 121 f. 15c. ; Orleans Railroad shares, 1,223 f. 75c. ; Rouen, 1,087 f. 50c. ; Havre, 876 f. 25c. ; Avignon, 1,045 f. ; Basle, 270 f.; Spanish Passives, 8 1 / 2 .

MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths during the week ending May 10, we are glad to state, is the smallest that has appeared for many months, being only 829, showing a decrease of 54 as compared with the pre vious, and 134 less than the average of five years. Under all the heads, with two or three trifling exceptions, there is a decrease. Bronchitis is still high, 30 deaths having occurred from that disease, while the average is only 15. The violent deaths are 31, of which 4 were caused by burns and scalds, and seven suicides. The deaths from small-pox (19) oc curred at the following ages :—four under 1 year ; six 1-3 ; three 3-5 ; four 5-10 ; one 18 ; and one 31 years. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.

Under this head, on Monday last, we referred to the im portant communication that had taken place between mer chants connected with the trade of India and the Court of Directors of the East India Company, apon the subject of the construction of railways in India. Since the correspondence was made public, and the announcement that the Court is about to send over practical men to survey the country, and to report thereon to the authorities here, the subject has been dwelt upon with a great deal of earnestness, strongly indicative of a desire to forward by all means possible so great an object. We naturally expected that many days would not elapse before plans would be announced for executing works of this kind, should the report of the sur veyors ultimately prove favourable. And such we find to be the fact, as a preliminary prospectus has been issued already for the formation of railways in India, wider the title of the Great Indian Peninsular Railway. The capital is fixed at no less than six millions sterling, and the intention is to form a connexion between the several Indian Presidencies and with the nearest point of intercourse with Europe. It must be admitted that the scheme is of a bold an car d zoie lig ei a na n tdo ti d e ietxi c os :a atu r t a io c pn t a e .p r ; but should the report of the andsur voefeaydnooaruasha: athn ad e t n wt g he i engineers a e r e e r s variousp rov satisfactory,nea contemplated there is willnot b a e shadow y te. fromA gla e a rs to h ave perc e i been f r receivedoin them tto-dayhat in dications of an early p ar ts int v were becoming more appare t n h especially large increase e fflourof exports lumber.

Notwithstanding the thaws in the months of February and March there is still a great quantity of snow on the ground between Montreal and Quebec. Spots of bare ground are only visible on banks exposed to the sun. The main channel of the St. Lawrence is free from ice from opposite Montreal to the foot of the current at St. Sulpice, and from Pointe du Lac to some distance below Three Rivers. It is again open at the Grondines to opposite the point of Deschambault, and from the basin of Portnenf to Quebec. Carriages were crossing on Lake St. Peter and different parts of the St. Lawrence on the ice on the Ist April. The channel north of the Island of Orleans is still also crossed on the ice. The depth of snow in the fields is nearly the same in the vicinity of Montreal and Quebec. Pointe-aux-Trembles, about twenty miles wet of Quebec, is the only place where a large extent of ploughed land appears."

In no other land, that we are aware of, would the three motives which led to it have operated in the same way. To raise money is of course its serious and commercial pur pose, to afford amusement, at the same time, in such a man ner that the very partaker of it should express sympathy, and, lastly, the great political cause for which the efforts are made, are blended in the Anti-Corn-law Bazaar, as no other people would be able to combine them. Such a mani festation indeed would probably be prohibited in every other country. There is one effect which we should be de lighted to see this attempt produce besides the immediate one to which it is devoted. The assemblage of objects is ad mitted, on all hands, to be interesting in the highest degree— a trophy of our industrial skill as well as of our patriotic ap plication of the means itaffords. For many years the French, infinitely inferior as they are to us in all the most important branches of manufacture, have done their utmost to stimulate competition by a Government exhibition, in which the pro gress of improvement can yearly speak for itself, and at which prizes are awarded for marked progress or skilful invention. This may look somewhat lik e the nursing of skill in its infancy; but the Anti-Corn-law B azaar proves to us that for more ma tured powers the constant comparison would be highly beneficial. We venture to say that many a process and many a fabric will be introduced for the first time to the notice of many on this occasion. What then might not be expected from organised competition, w hen mere private, un concerted contribution has produced so interesting a develop ment ? Many intelligent people look with mere wonder on specimens submitted to them, and machines, which they be hold for the first time, quite unconscious of the purposes to which hey are applicable. Indeed, it is not unamusing to watch the visitors to this part of the exhibition ; and as all is most characteristically explained by the parties selling •r showing the articles, it is pleasant to witness the satisfaction of their auditory. The only objectio n t o suc h an endeavour wou ld b e the immense bulk of th e o bj ects. C ovent-garden Theatre, l arge as it i s , with all its acce ssory d epartments, can b are l y su ffice to give an idea of the B azaar stock, and many who have gone once round the pro mena d e, fi nd a second turn st ill more agreeable from the great var i ety o f curiosities they h ave b een obliged to pass unnoti ce d on t h e f i rst. Crowded as t h e h a ll has been, all parties have been so completely imbued with the spirit of the cause, that it has rather appeared like a friendly assem blage at the house of some common acquaintance than a public exhibition, and the civility and atten tion of the stewards deserve the most grateful notice. Under such circumstances many persons appear to make of their visit a long and pleasant lounge, relieving their fatigue with a view from the upper boxes, and preventing the calls of luncheon-time by a visit to the splendid refreshment - room. We can have no doubt that the undertaking will be more successful than its best friends had hoped, and that the friends of the League will be recruited for a fresh campaign by this scene of diversion. Notwithstanding the increased charge for admission, the bazaar this day was crowded, but not inconveniently, and the visitors seemed highly delighted with the beautiful scene. ROBBERY AT THE FREE-TRADE BAZAAR. — Wed - nesday information was r ece i ve d at t h e different police stations that a red silk pu rse , conta i n i ng 5/. los. in gold , and three shillings in silver, was s t o l en f ro m the person of Mrs. Lund, of 51, Newgate- s t ree t, w hil e p aying a visit to the Anti-Corn-law League Baz aar . We understand that a C o mp a ny is now forming, prospectuses of which will be issued in a few days, for a rail way from the Ileighbridge Station, on the Bristol and Exeter Railway, through Glastonbury and Wells to Bruton, all in the County of Somerset, to be called the Somersetshire Mid land Railway. HIGH WATER AT LONDON-BRIDGE THIS DAY. Morning .. 48 minutes after 8 I Evening .. 21 minutes after 9. • gam= it 3 LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 16, 1845. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. SPOONER moved the second reading of the Birmingham, Gloucester, and Wolverhampton Rail way Bill. Mr. PAKINGTON opposed the motion, which, how ever, was carried by a majority of 19—the numbers being, for the motion, 41; against it, 22. Mr. WAKLEY then moved that a Select Committee be appointed to inquire into the management of the Royal College of Surgeons in England. The Hon. Member, at great length, detailed the grievances of which the members of the College had to complain— grievances which were entirely owing to the mis conduct of the Council, the self-elected governing body of the College. On the Speaker being about to put the question, the House was counted out, there not being forty Members present. In a case which came before the sitting Magis trate at the Thames Police-office, a day or two ago, some observations fell from that functionary, which were distinguished by so much right feeling and good sense, that we conceive them entitled to special at tention. A woman had been compelled to bring a charge of a most brutal assault against her husband— an engineer, in full employment with highly respect able employers—and, so far as the character or capa city of an individual can be judged of, when at tempting, under vehement excitement, to defend himself before a Magistrate, a man not wanting in intelligence. With the points of the case, as deposed to in the evidence adduced in support of the charge, we are not called upon at present to deal, except to observe that they went to establish the commission, by the husband, of,a most aggravated and unmanly outrage against his wife. After the hearing, Mr. BRODERIP proceeded to state the reasons which induced him not to dispose, summarily, of the case, by imposing, as the Act of Parliament authorised him to do, a pecu niary fine on the accused—but to send the case for trial before another tribunal—the Criminal Court. Of these two alternatives, which the Act of Parliament left in matters of the present nature, when proved to the satisfaction of the magistrate, he, for one, greatly lamented the alternative of imposing a pecuniary fine had been given to them at all The obvious evil attaching to the exercise of this summary jurisdiction was, that the discretion it left to the delinquent of paying a pecuniary fine, or submitting to an equivalent term of imprisonment, dismissed the wealthy offender with out any particle of punishment, which for the same offence it visited on the poorer culprit. In the case be fore him, any fine which he would be empowered to lay upon the prisoner would be little felt by a man in his condition, earning competent wages, and would, there fore, be very little proportioned to the extremely seri ous character of the offence which had, in Mr. BRO DERIP'S opinion, been proved against him. So the worthy magistrate bound the witnesses over in the usual manner to appear against the prisoner at the Central Criminal Court ; at the same time accepting reasonable bail for the man's appearance to take his trial on the indictment which would be prepared from their depositions. Now, if there be one feature in the proceedings of our police judicature more offensive than another, it certainly is that vicious inequality between the penal ties inflicted for offences of the same class and degree on the offender with money in his pocket and the offender without it. It has been often boasted that England is that country in which the rights of property are always best respect ed. In God's name, where they exist, let them be religiously respected ; but, there are ways of exer cising them, which so completely remove them out of the pale of all " respect," that in the eye of munici pal as well as moral law, when dealing with that exercise, they ought not to have any existence what ever. Yet the Act of Parliament to which Mr. BRODERIP referred, indnces, if it do not compel, the magistrate to be constantly screening the possessor of property from these penal liabilities on account of offences against the law, while they are constantly enforced to their utmost extent, and in their severest stress, against the destitute of property. The late Mr. Under-Secretary DRUMMOND is immortalised by his apothegm that " Property has its duties as well as its rights." But our stipendiary magistrates have been in the habit, too long, of improving upon that apothegm, by illustrating another—namely, " that property has its wrongs as well as its rights." That is to say, the privilege of committing wrongs,— a luxury which your moneyless man is no more to be permitted, in their opinion, than a pauper husband, whose wife has eloped from him, and deserted her family, should be entitled to a sentence of divorce by the House of Lords, " a vinculo matrimonii." Obse quious magistrates have established a regular tariff of rebukes and animadversions in disposing of cases of assault and battery, as the Act of Parliament has prescribed a regular tariff of money fines and their " Exchange rates" of equivalent terms of imprison ment. To a roystering Marquis, or a pugnacious Viscount, or a silly spendthrift Lord, they have graduated admonitions to be addressed to the noble offender,—as " a nobleman of such distinguished rank and station," a " person whose high rank should have preserved him from so committing him self;" a "young nobleman so highly connected." A run-over policeman, a capsized gate-keeper, a knocked up paterfamilias tradesman, or a knocked-down shop man, are apprised that they had better retire, and see whether they cannot settle matters with the noble accused; or, the Marquis is ordered to pay 101.; the Earl, 71.; the young Viscount, 51. ; which in each of their cases is readily produccd. The complainant steps down and disappears; the young aristocrat bows with mock humility to the bench, the Magis trate smiles benevolently, and the Court is cleared— the police " officer" showing out their recent pri soners with a degree of deference proportioned to the expectat'ons they indulge of the acknowledgment they may receive or return. But, lo ! some ambi tious medical student—full of everything but medical science and money—or a lawyer's clerk, with purse as empty as his head ; or an emulous shopman who has parted with his discretion and his money together overnight—is brought up for some high deeds of street-daring, accurately modelled on the practice of the lordly " disorderlies," but pushed by no means to the same scandalous extent to which the latter would have carried thin. The same magistrate, perhaps, sect quantum mutatus ab illo, hears the charge, examines the witnesses, and passes sentence on the prisoner. From habit he detects, in a moment, all the iniquitous destitution of the proud culprit's pockets. Indignation gives eloquence to his law—emphasis to his admonitions. He paints, with graphic force, and vivid earnestness, all the terrors of bell-pulling, knocker-wrenching, police flooring, waiter " bonneting," cabmen defraud ing, turnpike bolting, and other such enormities. " Extenuating circumstances" he will no more listen to than RHADAMANTIIU S himself would attend (on the passing of his irrevocable sentence) to a private note on gold-edged ivory paper from PROSERPINE , praying for a mitig a t e d j u d gment. No. In . matters where the wr ong d oer i s " bad paY " as it is phrased, th e magistrate become'n'es like the Cumean Sybil, full of a holy inspi ration. He must vindicate the majesty of justice, and the pennyless rascals fined 51. each, m us t, i n de: fault of payment, be imprisoned for the regular tariff equivalent term of so many weeks or months. Thus, as Mr. BRODERIP intimated, a pecuniary fine is the lightest possible tax on a moneyed offender for the in dulgence of his passion or caprice, his brutality or his folly. But if you put him on the same footing with the moneyless, and hand him over to be dealt with by 2.. Aldk!? ),;.€-41111110.4, zit 17 , 1 11% ..04 SUMMARY OF NEWS AND Vitbitc Optittoit. " Who runs may read." FOREIGN. A Lisbon letter of the EtlTinsC.itsites that the Portuguese Minister of the Interior, Senhor Costa da Cabral, has been obliged by ill health to relinquish temporarily his official duties, and was about to proceed to Caldas, with the inten tion of remaining there for some months, for the benefit of his health. The Cardinal Patriarch died on the sth instant. The amount of wines exported for foreign ports from Lis')on in 1844 was 19,135 pipes, and the estimated value 229,0001 sterling. The Moniteur Algerien of the sth says—" The Governor- General left Algiers in the morning of the 3d, to put himself at the head of the expedition to the Dahra. The Duke de Montpensier left the preceding day. Arriving at Miliansh on the 4th, the Marshal leirnt that the agitation on the two shores of the Cheliff had not been of the serious character they were represented to be in the first dispatches." Letters from Zurich of the 7th instant stale that the capital sentence pronounced against Dr. Steiger had been confirmed by the Supreme Tribunal of Lucerne. His last hope rests in the Grand Council, which alone can pardon him. We read in the Quotidienne :—" The Duke de Serra Ca priole, the Ambassador from Naples to France, is gone from Paris to Brussels with a mission, it is said, to come to an arrangement with the Prince de Capua for the public acknow ledgment of his morganatic marriage." The Central Agricultural Congress commenced its sittings on Monday, in the Orangerie of the Luxembourg. The Director-General of the Customs has sent instructions to the several custom-houses at the several ports not to be too rigid in opening the cases, bales, and other packages of merchandise arriving in ships, unless there be reason to sus. pest fraud, and that there be any extraordinary circum stances attending them ; but to content themselves with comparing their marks and numbers with the captain's manifest. An accident, slight in itself, but which produced a most lamentable catastrophe, happened on the 3d inst. at Valencia, in Spain. A fire broke out in the premises of a confectioner, but was rapidly extinguished without any serious conse quences ; but at a manufactory of cigars, nearly adjoining, several hundreds of young women from Huerta, a village near Valencia, were employed at the time. A report got among them that the gas-pipes had burst, and that they were all likely to be burnt alive. Under the terror of this horrible impression they all rushed to the doors and stair cases, and in the tumult and confusion thus created 18 were killed, and 50 seriously injured. A letter from Bourges states that from 1,000 to 1,500 work men are at present employed on the railroad from Vierzon to that town. It is intended, the letter adds, to double the number, in order that the line may be terminated at the same time as that from Orleans to Vierzon. LAW AND POLICE. At the sittings of the Court of Queen's Bench, in the City, an action was brought by Mary Ann Phillips against Peter Owen Worsley, for breach of promise of marriage. The de fendant pleaded that the plaintiff had conducted herself in an improper manner. The jury, however, gave a verlict for plaintiff, with 400/. damages. In the case of Borlase v. Borlase, which had been before the Prerogative Court for some time, Sir H. J. Fust decided in favour of the validity of the will of Mr. John Borlase, who died at an advanced age, worth a considerable amount of per sonal property (20,0001.), and real property of the value of 11,000/. _ _ At the New Criminal Court, William Jenkins, aged 25, and Henry Joseph Finch, 28, both cab drivers, were indicted for stealing, at Woolwich, a purse containing twelve sove reigns, six half-sovereigns, and a Bank of England note, value 101., the property of John Mark, a private in the Royal Artillery, from his person. The jury found both guilty, and it was then proved that en the 18th December, 1843, Finch was convicted at the Surrey Sessions, and sentenced to a long " treading " at Brixton, and privately whipped. Jen kins was sentenced to be transported for ten years, "and," said the Common Sergeknt, " with regard to you, Finch, you hare been convicted three or four times, and there is no doubt that you train cabmen for your, purposes. The judgment of the Court is, that you be transported for fourteen years." William Grace was indicted for stealing a gelding, value 8/., the property of Mr. Newett, his master. The facts were briefly these :—The prosecutor is a town-carrier living on the Shooter's-hill road. He sent the prisoner on a Friday to a person named Adams, but he did not return until Sunday, when he said he had delivered it as ordered. It was after wards found that he had sold it for slaughter to a knacker of the name of Moore, for 2/. The prisoner was convicted, and sentenced to hard labour at Maidstone for one year. At Worship-street James Higgs, the driver of Willan's Stoke Newington omnibus, No. 1,257, was finally examined, charged with having caused the death of Mr. Thomas Roberts, a retired publican, residing at King,sland. Several witnesses proved that the melancholy event was purely acci dental, and the defendant was discharged. COVILT-VALSHIONABLM ! The Duchess of Northumberland had an evening party on Wednesday at Northumberland House, when about 150 of the leading aristocracy were among the Duchess's distinguished guests. The circle assembled as early as half-past nine, and broke up at twelve o'clock. The Earl and Countess of Carnarron had a select party to dinner at the family mansion in Grosvenor-square, when the Marquis of Salisbury, the Marchioness of Ailesbury, Viscount Strangford, Lord Polwarth, Lord and Lady Prudhoe, Earl Nelson, Lord and Lady Ashburton and the Hon. Miss Baring, the Right Hon. Mr. Goulburn, Miss Herbert, &c., were among the guests. The Duke and Duchess of Buceleuch, who have been visit ing the Earl and Countess of Romney, at the family seat of the Noble Earl in Kent, since Tuesday last, have returned to Montagu House. The Duke and Duchess of St. Alban's have returned to Piccadilly, from visiting Admiral Lord Amelius Beauclerk, at Winchfield House, Hants. The Earl and Countess of Desart arrived at the Earl and Countess of Cawdor's, in South Audley-street, on Wednes day, from their seat in Ireland. The Marquis and Marchioness of Douglas gave a dejeuner on Wednesday, at their residence in Connaught-place. The fol lowing were among the company present :—The Duchess of Kent, the. Grand Duchess Stephanie of Baden, the Duke and DuChess of Somerset, the Duke and Duchess of Hamilton, the Countess of Lincoln, Lady Anna Maria Dawson, Via countess Ashbrook, Hon. Miss Flower, Baroness de Strum feder, and Baron Roth de Shreckenatein. Lord Albert Conyngham, who has been on a tour in Bel gium, has returned to town. MISCELLANEOVS. During Tuesday no fewer than ninety-two vessels arrived in the Pool and other parts of the river, all coal laden. Of these thirty-six were from Newcastle, and twenty-two from Stockton, the- others being from Seaham, Sunderland, Har tlepool, Cardiff, Goole, Selby, &c. Notwithstanding the crowded state of the river, the collision with the Waterman steamer was the only accident which took place. Wednesday afternoon, the Dutch steam packet Batavier, Captain Dunlop, arrived at the St. Katharine's steam• packet wharf, from Rotterdam, with a considerable number of passengers and an excellent cargo, which consisted of sixty-two live cows and oxen, upwards of 1,000 live Dutch hens and cocks (a new importation), and a large quantity of other kinds of agricultural produce. On Wednesday morning, between one and six o'clock, a daring robbery was committed in the house of Mr. Ethering ton, a tradesman, residing at No. 26, in the Kingsland-road. Mr. Etherington with his family retired to rest at their usual hour at night, and the next morning, when the shopman proceeded to take down the shutters, he perceived that some thieves had gained an entrance in the course of the night. The contents of the till were taken, amounting to about 12/., and a bill of exchange for 30/. The thieves had, however, very luckily overlooked a tin cash-box, containing a large amount of cash and securities. The action for crim. con., which was to have been tried at Dublin, in the Court of ommon Pleas during the present nisi prius sittings, and in which the daughter of an English Earl was unpleasantly concerned, has terminated by the de fendant allowing judgment to go against him for large da mages, besides costs of suit, by default The Drogheda Railway Company have tried the experi ment of giving cheap trips to the working classes, and in deed to all classes who choose to avail themselves of the indulgence. They are favoured with a ticket to and from Drogheda (thirty miles) at half-price, via., second class 2s. 6d., third class, Is. 6d. The result has answered ex tremely well. It is said that the trade of the port of Liverpool have made a request for a Board, consisting of two Commissioners, to be permanently established there , to superintend the business of the Customs' department in relation to that port, in order to remove the delay and inconvenience experienced in the present necessity of referring all matters of doubt or irre gularity to the Board of Customs here. The Rev. Dr. Picquot, head chaplain of the Spanish Am bassador's Chapel, Manchester-square, has been obliged, in consequence of his sickly state of health, to retire from the situation, which he has filled for so many years, with credit to himself and great satisfaction to the numerous attendants of that chapel. GRAND ENTERTAINMENT BY THE GOLD/MITES' COMPANY TO PRINCE ALBERT.—Extensive preparations are being made for the grand banquet which will be given by the Goldsmiths' Company to his Royal Highness Prince Albert on Saturday next. At the rear of the six windows in the banquetting-hall, and which are composed of splen didly stained glass, scaffolding has oeen erected and an in closure of woodwork formed round each window, within which a splendid gas illumination will be placed ; the reflection of the light from which, through the stained glass into the hall, will present a most novel and grand effect. The Duke of Wellington, Sir Robert Peel, the whole of the Cabinet Ministers, the foreign Ambassadors, and the principal per tion of the nobility and gentry have been invited to meet the Prince. In the morning, previous to the banquet, a " Trial of the Pia," will take place, pursuant to an order in council, to test the present standard of the coinage, FOUNTAINS IN TRAFALGAR -SQUARE.--The service mains have all been laid down for the supply of water from the engine-house in Orange -street to the different Govern ment offices in Parliament-street, Whitehall, and the vici nity. The water will be laid on at Midsummer, the Chelsea Waterworks Company having received orders to discontinue their supply at that period ; and it is estimated that by this new arrangement a saving of 5001. per annum will be ef fected. The quantity of water obtained from the wells is quite adequate to any demand ; and, after pumping for twelve hours, the depth of water does not diminish above five feet, notwithstanding the consumption by the fountains is about 500 gallons per minute. The cisterns at the top of' the building will hold upwards of 30,000 gallons, and a supply sufficient to inundate the whole of the house may be obtained at a moment's notice, on any emergency of fire. ELECTRICAL TELEGRAPH FROM GLASGOW TO EDINBURGH. —We understand an electrical telegraph will speedily be laid down on the railway between this city (Glasgow) and Edinburgh. The work will be entrusted to Mr. Bain. We can now have communication between the two cities, by means of the railway, in the course of a few hours; when the telegraph is in operation, we shall have communication in as many seconds, and human thought will be conveyed literally with the swiftness of lightning. We presume the instrument will be placed at the service of the public, on the charge of a moderate fee, which may, how ever, produce a considerable revenue to the Company. In this way —easy as a journey to Edinburgh now is—the necessity of it may often be altogether superseded ; and yet the Company need not, on that account, be apprehensive of a diminution of pr o fit s; f or, i rrespective of the revenue derived from the telegraph, its operation, while it supersedes the necessity of some journeys, will as often be the means of showing the necessity or advantage of others, and thus, in every point of view, the joint advantage of the Company and of the public will be promoted to an extent that can scarcely be calculated.— G lasgow Paper. THE GIBE'S SAFETY LOCK.—The Church of St. Stephen's, Walbrook, is open at the roof and three of its windows, and " any burglar" writes a parishioner, " could break in with the greatest ease." We recommend the parish to solicit Alderman Gibbs to cover up the apertures with his churchwarden's accounts, has no one has ever heen known to et through them yet.—Puneh. COURT CIRCULAR.

" My dear Sir,—To attempt the refutation of the un ceasing calumnies against Ireland and the Catholic clergy, with which the English press is daily teeming, would indeed be a fruitless labour. No sooner is one crop of slander mowed down than another suddenly springs up from that rank soil on whirls the seeds of lies haveb , :eo so profusely scoittered. The pea- besotted people, who,-,e diseased appetite can la lish such intellectual regimen, are deserving of our commiseration. It is difficult, how ever, to find appropriate language for painting the ener- Laity of their transgressions who labour to aggravate this morbid malady of the English people by the most dis gusting and malignant applications. " Of their utifastidious appetite for every species of slander, you have on a recent occasion been witness, nor should I, though my name has been mixed with those exhibitions at Exeter-hall, take the least notice of them, were it not for the purpose of recording my gratitude to you, for your noble and intrepid vindication of your Catholic countrymen amidst the storm of obloquy and vituperation by which you as well as they were assailed. I have been accused, it seems, of listenin , with approval to a sermon, in which it was asserted • that those who practise the reading of the Bible fall into everlasting destruction,' &c. The spirit of God may still continue to effect prodigies .f grace ; but I have no hesitation in saying, that little can be expected in the ordinary course of nature, either of justice or of liberality, from those who could be capable of be lieviag that blasphemous assertion. Weil they know that no clergyman in the Catholic Church would hazard such an assertion, either in the presence or the absence of a bishop, before any Catholic congregation. The Ca tholic pastors and people use; they do not abuse, the in spired writings. They are reverenced by both as the authentic title deeds of their exalted rights and inhe ritance, and their heavenly contents are received by all with that veneration which is due to the successful source from which they have descended. " It was in vain, it seems, that you endeavoured to secure the attention of an auditory rabid with religious frenzy by proclaiming, from your knowledge of the Irish priesthood, that the infamous extract was a forgery. To your appeal to their reason they were deaf as adders, and in labouring to calm you were but irritating their fanaticism. You told them the cited passage was a forgery, and, without hearing your reasons in vin dication of the accused party, they loudly vociferated, and resolved that the passage was authenticated !! Is it from the justice of those cool and reasoning people Ireland is to expect to be put on a level of civil and poli tical rights with England ? As well might you expect the fairest fruit from brambles. No ; Ireland must de pend on her own energies and the righteousness of her own cause in wringing her legitimate independence from a hostile people with whom they have but one tie, which is sacred—that of the Crown—as a common link of con- nexion. "I have the honour to be, with great esteem, your very faithful servant. " k JOHN ARCHBISHOP OF TUAM. "John Gray, Esq." MR: O'CONNELL'S REPEAL LEVEE. The following document was read at the meeting of the Repeal Association yesterday:— " We recommend that O'Connell and his late fellow prisoners shall hOld a levee on the 30th of May from twelve to three o'clock, fn the Rotunda, and there re ceive addresses from the repeal corporation and other bodies, such addresses to be presented by deputations in the costume of the municipal council or other body which they represent. " That the aggregate trades of Dublin be requested to assemble at the Richmond Penitentiary, at 11 o'clock on the same day, the head of the trades facing east, and thence, at half-past eleven, to move in full procession through Harrington-street, Circular-road, Leeson -street, Stephen's-green East and North, Dawson-itreet, Nassau street, Grafton-street, College-green, Dame -street, Cork hill, Essex-bridge, Capel-street, Bolton-street, Dorset street, Frederick-street North, so that the head of the procession may halt at three o'clock in Frederick -street, and thence send on a deputation to the Rotunda with an address. " That immediately after • the reception of this last address O'Connell, his late fellow-prisoners, the trades, and the municipal and other deputations, shall enter their carriages at the main door of the Rotunda, and being thus in front of the trades, the entire procession shall move through Sackvilie street, Carlisle-bridge, Westmorland street, Nassau. street, Merrion-square East and North, to O'Connell's house, and there separare quietly. " Approved by the General Committee of the Asso ciation, and entrusted to the energy and patriotism of the aggregate trades." THE NEW COLLEGES. The Dublin Evening Post has the following remarks on the Government plan:— "As tar as it goes, we do riot question the benefits likely to accrue from the-e provincial colleges, inasmuch as no person can prize more highly than we do the bene tits of education—the relvantages of knowledge. But it would be a mockery and a delusion to pretend that they will prove a panacea for the discontent of the country. In short, without a perfect equality of religions, this country cannot, and ought not, to be contented. " Now, while our university holds her head abo ve th e people of Ireland, as the chief seat of learning—wh le she has so many and such rich gifts in her possession, which gifts she distributes solely amongst persons pro fessing the dominant creed, it is idle to imagine that the people of Ireland will be satisfied, or that they ought. " Why should not the university be thrown open to Catholics ? Not ecclesiastically, for Catholic priests must be educated alone, but for all other university purposes. At present, we believe, the professors of physics and mathematics must be fellows. Why should net Catholics be allowed to compete for these lay fellowships—neither of which, we imagine, at present, are held by clergymen ? Why should they not be allowed to stand for fellowships, with a view of enabling them to obtain a chair in civil law—in common law—in medicine ? But again —why not throw the whole course open—all but the professorship of divinity ? It is not absolutely necessary, we believe, that the fellows of Dublin College should be, as they gene rally are, clergymen. Ah! but there are several wealthy livings in the gift of the university. Let them keep these livings, and let a certain number of fellows be or dained to take them as they fall. But do not allow a national esstablishment to be administered with a view only to the benefit of a comparatively small minority." Sir W. Tuyll arrived in London yesterday, by the General Steam Navigation Company's mail-packet Co lumbine, from Rotterdam. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The performances last evening were for the benefit of Lucile Grahn, and the house was crowded by those who were anxious to do honour to the talent of the young Dane. The opera was La Getz:a rio Larlra, vvi al Grisi as Ninetta,l3rambilla as Pippo, 111 a as Gianetto,Fornasari as Fernando, and Lablache as the Podesta. it is needless to add that it was performed in a style which cannot be equalled upon any lyrical stage in Europe. Between the acts of the opera we had a pls de gnatre, the composition of the fair beneficiare herself, in which she bore a prin cipal part, and in which she was rapturously applauded. The D'in ue- V . - • , s ses iennoisses introduced two new pas -- the Pes de Rococo and the Pas des Amours, and repeated the Pas des Illiroirs. They exerted theinielves to the other utmost, as, in fact, they were: in duty bound to dosing Lucile Grahn did them good service in c om p the exquisite ballet of Kiva, more for them than for herself, and which affords them such admirable °r portunities of displaying their powers.
