LONDON, TUESDAY MORNING SUNY MAY 28, 1844. PRICE sd. " I nolv come to the Victoria Gallery itself. I object • to the Victoria Gallery on several accounts. There was _ a gallery, but that was of very different character ; that was literally a gallery ; whereas I contend that this is neither one thing nor the other. It is too short for s gallery in proportion to its width, and it is too long for a hall. Therefore, as a matter of taste, I object to its proportions. But that is not• the only objection. It de prives the Queen of her robing-room immediately ad joining the House of Lords. Another very important point is, that in consequence of this gallery there will be a continuous roof from the House of Lords to Little Abingdon-street. The roof will be from 90 to 100 feet in height, contrary to Mr. Barry's own princip'e, as stated in his prospectus or paper which he delivered with his plan ; for he there observes that he has carried up the Houses of Parliament greatly above all the rest of the buildings, for the benefit of air and light. Now I need not observe to your Lordships, that both the light is obstructed and the air is impeded by this arrangement. Besides, we shall be deprived at one end of the House of Lords of the power of lighting it, if it should be re quired. Then, as I before observed, the Queen is de prived of her robing-room immediately behind the House of Lords ; the very situation in which Mr. Barry himself, by his formerplan, recommends that it should be placed, but which has since been altered. In fact, as it appears to me, everything has been sacrificed to thii Victoria Gallery."

Mr. FITZGIBBON said, that if a compact had been entered into they would not wish to violate it, and for this reason he would send for Mr. Moore to ascertain the fact. Mr. MOORE, Queen's Counsel, having come into Court, said, in reply to Judge Perrin, that his recollection of the circumstance was, that the consent was entered into with the approval of the Counsel for the other traversers ; but certainly was not so made with the intention of leading the Crown into error. One Shilling. HENRY HOWARD, 8.A., Sec. RELIGIOUS TRUSTS and DISSENTERS' CHAPELS BILL—For the more public exposition of the important objections to this unprecedented and injurious attempt to subvert the security of charitable property, and to promote the Uni tarian heresy, it has been determined by many Members of the Es tablished Church, by the Wesleyan Methodists, and by Dissenters of all denominations, that a GENERAL MEETING of the opponents of the Bill shall be held at Eleven o'Clock precisely, on WEDNESDAY next, May 29, in the Great Room at Exeter Hall, and at which the Right lion. the Earl of MOUNTCASHEL will preside. Capt. VERNON HARCOURT, R.N., May 22, 1844. Chairman of the Provisional Committee. The admission will be by tickets only, which may be obtained of Hatchard, Piccadilly; Mr. Nisbet, Renters-street; Mr. Seeley, Fleet-street; Mr. Ward, Paternoster-row; at the Congregational Library ; and also at the Offices of the Record, Patriot, Watchman, Wesleyan Chronicle ; and at the Committee-room, No. 3, Exeter Hall, where the Committee for opposing the Bill meet daily. Applications for the remaining Shares, and only in the printed form prescribed,pay be made to Mr. W. P. Needham, at the Temporary Offices of the Company, 27, Austin-friars, London, of whom, and at the Company's Bankers in the country, Prospectuses and the Form of Application for Shares may be obtained. Londou, 10th May, 1844. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL was about to reply; but The CIHEF JugricE said the motion could not be granted by the Court, without violating the contract entered into be tween the parties. As to altering the postea as it than stood, with respect to the finding of the jury, they would not assist the party—first, because of the lateness of the application; and, secondly, because the traversers had used it on the mo tion for a new trial. Justice CnAmyroN, having. read from the report of the trial what had occurred as to the separation of the jury, expressed his concurrence in the opinion of the Lord Chief Justice. t bil ltlk .

This Company is founded on the law of the 11th of June, 1842, which provides for the carrying out of an extensive system of Main Trunk Lines of Railway in France, by the joint contribu tions of the public treasury and private enterprise, and for granting a Lease of the Railway to a Company, upon terms to be agreed upon. Among the Railways comprised in this law is the great Line from Paris to the Spanish frontier, by Orleans, Tours, Poitiers, Angouleme, and Bourdeaux, to Bayonne. The first section, from Paris to Orleans, has already been con. ceded to a Company, who constructed it wholly with their own capital. It was opened to the public in May, 1843. The original purpose of the present Company was to obtain the Lease of the second section comprised between Orleans and Tours; but having obtained a larger amount of capital than would be required for that object, and encouraged by the terms offered by the Minister of Public Works, the present proposal of the Com pany embraces the whole distance from Orleans to Bordeaux, 295 miles, passing by the populous cities and towns of Blois, Amboise, Tours, Chatelleroult, Poitiers, Angouleme, and Libourne, to Bordeaux. The works to be executed, at the cost of the State, on the por.. tion between Orleans and Tours, are already so far advanced, that, in the hands of this Company, that important extension of the Paris and Orleans Railway could be opened to the public in the summer of 1845, with an expenditure of not more than 51. per share on the whole capital. The Company is reconstituted for this purpose. The Statutes of the Paris and Rouen and the Rouen and Havre Companies have been adopted, so far as they are applicable to this Company. . _ - - The French portion of the Capital, 35,000,000 francs, is all subscribed, and the Deposit paid, in Paris and in the provinces. Of the 30,000,000 francs reserved for England (1,200,0000, a considerable portion is engaged by the Shareholders in the Orleans and Tours Line of last year, who paid their deposits. The Board of Directors will consist of eight French and eight English, two of the latter resident in France, as the representatives and guardians of the English intereots in the administration of the affairs of the Company. There will be an Office in London for the registration and transfer of Shares, for which every facility will be afforded, imme. diately after the Company shall have obtained the authority of a Royal Ordonnance. Weekly reports will be transmitted to the English Directors for the information of the Shareholders. The Staff of the Company will be composed of the most efficient persons whose services can be obtained at the head of every de. partment requiring practical experience in the details of Railway managemen°. TERMS AND CONDITIONS OF THE LEASE. The Minister of Public Works has demanded of the Chambers, in the present Session, a vote of 54,000,000 of francs, to be spread over a period of six years, for the construction of the works be. tween Tours and Bordeaux. Of this sum 4,000,000 of francs will be applicable to the service of the present year, 1844, and 10,000,000 for that of 1845. The Projet de Loi, or Bill, for this purpose, and for defining tho terms and conditions of the Lease to be granted, has been sub mitted for the approval of the Chamber of Deputies, and is now before a Commission, namely, in that stage which is tensed in the English Parliament, " in Committee on the Bill.'' _ _ The following are the principal conditions proposed by the Mi nister and embodied in this Bill. The obligations of the State are fixed by the Law of 11th June, 1842; And there is good rea. son to hope that the conditions to be required of the Company, in return, will not be materially, if at all, modified by the Commis sion, or in the subsequent discussion in the Chambers The Minister of Public Works, in the name of the State, en gages to pay for the land, and compensation to landowners; to execute the earthwork, masonry, stations, workshops, police sta. tions, and buildings of every description ; in short, to make the Line, and its dependencies, up to formation level, be the cost what it may; to maintain the earthwork for one year, the masonry for twn years, and the buildings for five years, after delivery to the Company. The Company have only to provide, lay, and ballast the perma• nent way ; fence off the Railway, supply the locomotive and car. rying stock, work the Line, and maintain it during the term of their Lease. To these alone their liability extends. A Lease for a term of years sufficient to liquidate the Company's entire capital, by the operation of a sinking fund of one per cent., improved at compound interest. if so improved, at four per cent., the term would be 41 years and 16 days; if at three per cent., it would extend to 46 years and 324 days. The latter has been pro. posed by the Minister. The term commences from the delivery, by the Government to the Company, of the whole of the works on the entire Line to Bordeaux. The entire Line is to be delivered t• the Company in work able lengths—say between first class stations, and two years after such delivery are allowed to the Company for the opening to the public. The State is to participate equally in the nett profits of the Company, after ten per cent. to the Shareholders upon the capital expended, namely nine per cent, dividend and one per cent, sinking fund. The right of the State so to participate in the nett profits does not arise until after the first five years of the opening of the Line throughout to Bordeaux. This will give to the Company about twelve years of undivided enjoyment of the nett profits of the section between Orleans and Tours. The Company are required to surrender the permanent way and its dependencies, at the expiration of the term, without compensa tion ; but are to be paid the actual value of their carrying stock, materials, and stores, either by the Government or the new Lessees, within three months after the term of their Lease shall have expired. The tariff, or rate of charge, for the transports of passengers and merchandise is to be the same as en the Paris and Orleans Rail. way, with a small addition for third-class passengers, to meet the extra expense of covered.in carriages, with curtains at the sides, which this Company will be bound to provide. RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS OF SHAREHOLDERS. (Extracts from the Statutes of the Company.) Every Share represents a proportional part of the whole Capital Stock of the Company, and will be issued at par. The liability of Shareholders is limited to the amount of the Stock held by them—a " Societe anonyme" in France, being pre cisely the same, in this respect, as the Railway Company in England, authorised by Act of Parliament. The liability of the original Subscribers to the Company extends only to three.tenths, or 6/. per share, of the amount of their subscription. That amount paid up, the shares may be transferred without restriction, and the liability of the original Subscriber ceases. The amount of each Share shall be payable as follows :—One twentieth on allotment ; one.twentieth within two months after the concession of the Lease shall have been obtained ; the re mainder by tenths, as the Directors may see requisite, but at in tervals of not less than four months between each call, until the whole 204 shall have been paid up. ....-.- The calls bear interest, after the rate of 4 per cent. per annum, upon the amount called up, to date from the Royal Ordonnance authorising the Company, and payable half-yearly, until the open ing of the section of the Line between Orleans and Tours, after which the Shareholders will be entitled to share, pro rata, in the nett profits, divided half-yearly. The Shares will be in the names of the proprietor by subscrip tion or purchase, until the whole amount shall have been paid up, after which the bearer shall be deemed to be the proprietor, and they pass from hand to hand like Exchequer bills. The possession of one or more Shares carries with it all the rigl•ts and obligations of the original Shareholder. PROBABLE VALUE AS AN INVESTMENT FOR CAPITAL. It may be laid down, as a general rule, that any Railway having Paris for one of its termini cannot be otherwise than good. Every Shareholder in the English Railways will readily see that the least productive amongst them would be so, if the dividends were to ba computed only upon the capital required for completing the upper works, fencing, and stocking the Line. This is precisely the case in all the French Railways now before the Chambers. The result of one year's experience (May, 1844) after the open ing of the Paris and Rouen, and the Paris and Orleans Lines, and, with a traffic as yet but partially developed, on either, is conclu lave as to the great value of the French Railways, as an investment, ander good and economical management. The receipts on the Paris and Rouen Line, upon a length'of eighty-four miles, for the month ending April 30th, 1844, were, in British currency, 19,984/., or at the rate of 258,6621. per annum. The dividend actually paid from the 9th May to 30th September last (145 days) was after the rate of eight per cent. per annum, exclusive of a sinking fund. The present market price of a 201. Share is 371. 101. The receipts on the Paris and Orleans Railway, upon a length of eighty-two miles, for the month ending April 30th, 1840, were 24,0611. 7s. 2d., or at the rate of 312,7971. 13s. 2d. per annum. There is a capital of 50,000,000 of francs (2,000,000/4 to be provided for. The present market price of a 20/. Share is 381. It must be borne in mind that, in the case of both these Corn. panics, the whole cost of the land, works, buildings, and of a com plete carrying establishment, was defrayed out cf their own capital. In the case of the Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux Company, at least one.half, perhaps three-fifths, of the whole cost of the com plete Railway, in the most efficient working condition, will be de frayed by the State! The difference between the capital of the Paris and Orleans Company (2,000,0001.) and that required for the Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux Railway (2,600,000/.) which is amply sufficient, is not very considerable; while the latter is nearly four times the length of the former, and traverses some of the richest, most fertile, and most populous regions of Western, South-Western, and Southern France. The importance of this Railway may be inferred from the fact that the twenty-live departments traversed by, or collaterally con nected with it, comprise an aggregate population of 9,318,000 souls, and contains 283 cities and towns, with a population of 1,766,000 persons, to whom the advantages of railway communi- Ication will be thus afforded.

(Continued from The Sun of Saturday.) The Ch iEF JUSTICE said, that it was unnecessary for him, after the most able and elaborate judgment given by his re spective and respected brethren, who preceded him, to make many observations in delivering his judgment. It was his duty to the public, and to all who were interested in that trial, to endeavour to compress what he had to say within as nar row a compass as possible. He was the more inclined to pur sue this course upon the principle according to which he had hitherto conducted himself during the discussion of that motion. It would, he presumed, have been ob served by the bar and others who had attended the discussion of that motion, that he had, as far as possible, ab stained from all interference in the ease, lie had hitherto made neither observation nor comment, preferring from mo tives of delicacy, and upon personal grounds, to leave to his brethren upon the bench the consideration or the correction of any imputed error or mistake into which he might have fallen in the charge delivered to the jury, as the organ and the head of the court. If the error or mistake had been committed it was fit that it should be corrected ; and if the parties were entitled to have it, and no one ought to be, and he trusted no one would be, more happy than he would to have his errors or mistakes rectified and justice done according to right. Thus it was he had adopted the course he had hitherto pursued during the progress of that motion, and except as a listener he had taken no part. Those concerned in it should do him the justice to confess that they had not been inter rupted, and this was the only commentary he made or in tended to make upon that part of the case. With regard to the general object and the conclusion that was to be come to upon this subject, he felt that he was bound conscientiously, and in the discharge of his duty, to give his opinion and judg ment upon this subject, and he did therefore say without qualification that he concurred altogether in the view taken by his brother Barton, and in the judgment which he had de livered. Now, it was conceded, that if a proper case were made out, the Court would entertain a motion for a new trial in a misdemeanour case : in a case of felony it was not, so, and upon a trial at bar. The Attorney -General had con ceded that proposition, and that very eminent and constitu tional lawyer, Mr. Erskine, afterwards Lord Erskine, thus laid down the rule :—" The attainment of substantial justice was so decidedly the ruling principle upon which the Court acted, that in civil cases judges had sometimes refused to grant a new trial even where the verdict was against the law, if upon the whole they saw that substantial justice had been done. A fortiori ' in criminal cases, where th e C rown had no interest but the attaining of solid justice, the Court would exercise this power for the purpose of attaining it, and their jurisdiction must necessarily be co -extensive with this great end." Lord Kenyon, the presiding judge, said that "he thought the rule was correctly stated by defendant's counsel, that in granting a new trial the Court would either grant or refuse a new trial, as either would tend to the advancement of justice." Thus, this great and eminent judge concurred with this great and eminent lawyer in the rule of law with regard to the granting of a new trial. Agreeing and con curring in the principle so laid 'down, and applying that principle to the present case under consideration, which was an application for a new trial in a conspiracy case, in which the defendants had been convicted, Lord Kenyon and all the bench were of opinion that the rule for a new trial should be refused. He next came to the consideration of the "parti cular subjects upon which anew trial was applied for, and he should pass over briefly as possible many of them, in reference to which all the Court had already concurred. The first of these in point of order was the alleged mis-trial in consequence of Mr. Rigby having been sworn as John Rigby, instead of John Jason Rigby. He could not add anything to the ob servations which had been made upon that futile objection— under the circumstances he said most futile; and he concur red altogether under the circumstances of the case, there was no ground whatsoever for the parties then complaining to apply for or obtain a yell( trial. The second ground was that of an alleged error having been committed in conse quence of an order made by the Court upon the 13th of January, 1844, extending the length of the trial into the en suing vacation. It was objected to both upon the ground of the insufficiency of the language of the rule, and also for the want of jurisdiction in the Court to make an order at all upon the subject. His Lordship then observed, having read the motion of the Attorney-General upon the subject, that the objection urged by the counsel for the tra versers was a futile objection ; the order made complied in words and he would say in common sense with the Act, and he saw no reason to entertain a doubt that the Court were right in making the vacation a part of the term. But he would say with respect to any such mistakes they were upon the record, and the traversers would have an oppor tunity of appealing to a higher tribunal. The next objec tion was taken on account of the venue ; he need not refer to the cases which established without controversy the fact, that if there be evidence of one overt act being committed within any specified locality, that was quite sufficient to lay the venue satisfactorily. For this reason, he would add no more on this point to the ob servations that had fallen from his learned brethren who had preceded him. He also concurred with all of them in thinking there was nothing in the objection on account of the separation of the jury, which had been acquiesced in and agreed to by the counsel for the traversers. The next point was the omission of certain names on the jury list, and, as he (the Learned Chief Justice) viewed the case now, after all the documents laid before the Court and the observations made on the subject, he must say he saw no reason whatever for imputing fraud to any one on either side. The subject had been twice before the Court—first, on the motion on the 9th of January to quash the proceedings, and, second, on the occasion of the plea in abatement, and he found nothing now whatever urged to induce him to alter the judgment of the bench delivered then on that point. The next subject was the reception of evidence that was contended to be inadmis sible. This was especially a very material question. Now, in the first place, he had very great doubts as to the truth of the statement, that it was not brought home personally to the traversers on the contrary, It was his °pima' that it had been most satisfactorily done so. The document contended to have been illegally admitted was what had been called a ballad. It was no ballad, nor anything like a ballad. r It pur ported on the face of it to be a history of certain pretended scenes of horror enacted at Mullaghmast. Now, let them look at the nature of the meeting held there. It had been convened by Mr. O'Connell and the Repeal Association, and under their authority the document in question had been published and extensively circulated throughout the meeting. His Lordship then proceeded to express his concurrence with his brethren in their views of the various ,grounds upon which a new trial was sought, such as the misnomer of a juror ' • the extension of the term ; the omission of names from the jury list, &c., in reference to which the Court had already concurred. The next topic was the reception of the newspapers. Brothers Crampton and Burton had expressed their opinion that they were evidence, not only against Messrs. Barrett and Duffy, but all the traver sers. He agreed with them both in that opinion, and would express his grounds of concurrence. It was perfectly plain that the publication of seditiourand inflammatory documents was an illegal act, and done in the furtherance of common resign ; it was not in the nature of s. confession, as the letter in Hardy's case, nor of a narrative ' • and the publication by Barrett was a material act doue by him in the furtherance of a common and criminal purpose—and that question, like all ethers, was left to the jury. This publication being of that nature, it was by every law laid down on the subject clearly admissible against Mr. O'Connell. He did not mean to say it was conclusive evidence against the traversers. Mr. O'Connell might have brought evidence that he never at tended the meeting, or made a speech, or one of that descrip tion ; But he had brought forward no such proof, nor made arty affidavit to that effect. - Barrett, 'as the agent of Mr. O'Connell, published his speech in a newspaper, and making that statement as the agent of Mr. O'Connell, that state ment became evidence against Mr. O'Connell and all the co-conspirators. Mr. O'Connell was the leading member of the Association, the chairman of the committee which issued the )rders for the repeal wardens, one of whose rules was, that cer tain newspapers, viz., the Pilot arid Freeman, should be as ex tensively circulated by them as possible. To this document, Mr. O'Connell signed his name as Secretary, and thereby became accessory to the deed; but—and this was a most material point—no objection had been made at the time to the recep tion of this evidence, all the traversers' counsel had spoken and made no objection. It had been said, indeed, that Mr. M'Donough had objected to its admissibility, but that had only related to the analogy between the newspapers and the confession, as the letter was held to be in Hardy's case. Now, he held it as a principle that an objection must be made at the trial, and in a tangible form, because additional evidence might then be given, or, in the case of a charge, the ludge might retract, qualify, or explain what he had said. This principle was applicable in misdemeanours as in civil cases. In Ball and Manning, Bligh's Parliamentary Reports, second series, page 22, Lord Tenterden overruled the objec tion because it had not been sufficiently specific. The Chief Justice, at much length, adverted to the speech of Mr. O'Connell as made at the trial to show that he adopted the authority of the newspapers, and that at that period no ob iection was urged against the newspapers being evidence against all the traversers. He, therefore, utterly protested against the course now adopted of reserving such an objection until months after the trial, and the judgment in the House of Lords, in a case already referred to, was an authority against such a course of practice. He (the Chief Justice) would not go further into this case. He meant to say nothing about any observations or arguments which had been made upon the subject matter of the charge. lie might have done so perfectly consistently with the station and situation which he filled ; but it was more gratifying to himielf that the consi deration of his conduct in delivering that charge should be left to his Learned Brethren, to whom it had been submitted. Ile would make no remarks upon the course adopted in the progress of the motion; but would only say, with regard to what had taken place in that respect, that he entirely con curred in the decision which his Learned Brethren had come to with regard to the nature of the charge. The Chief Jus tice then entered into a review of the case of the Rev. Mr. Tierney, and coincided in opinion with Judge Burton as to the verdict in his case not being disturbed. This being the case, the motion for a new trial must be refused generally. The ArronsEv-GENERAL here rose and said, after what has been suggested by two members of the Court it is not my intention to call for judgment upon the Rev. Mr. Tierney; but with respect to the other traversers I have to request that the Court will fix to-morow for the giving of sentence in this case. Judge CatimProx—Do you mean to enter a nolle prosequi with reference to him ? The Arromexy-GerrEnaL—l was ' not aware until the judgment of the Court had been given that the Court • was divided upon the subject of his case, and it will be sufficient for me to state that I do not intend to call up Mr. Tierney for judgment; but as to the precise manner in which this may be entered on the record, I have not yet decided. Judge CRAMPTON—As this is the course to be pursued with respect to this particular traverser, I have to observe that my opinion concurs with that of my brother Burton and the Lord Chief Justice in refusing the application of a new trial to the other traversers. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—I do not mean that any judg ment should be hanging over Mr. Tierney ; but, I must consider, with reference to the state of the record generally, in what way the proceeding should be entered. Judge Cusustrrox—l am satisfied. The Arrousrisv-GENERAL—Then your Lordships will di rect the other defendants to attend in the moaning to abide the sentence of the Court. Mr. HATCItELL, Q.C., in the absence of the traversers' senior counsel, said it was their intention to move in arrest of judgment ; but, as a preliminary to that, they considered it necessary to have the postea amended conformably to the real facts which had taken place, and a notice to that effect had been served on the Crown. Judge CaamyroN—This will not stop your motion in arrest of judgment. Mr. Iliercarrem—The postea must be first set right. Judge CRAMPTON—That will not stop your motion. Mr. Ilxrciaeu. observed, that the postea should be first amended, as no motion in arrest of judgment could be made except upon the postea. Ten days ago they served notice ,on the Crown of the amendments they required. Judge CRAMPTON here looked at the notice, and said that it was absurd to expect the Court would discuss questions already disposed of, and the first matter in the notice was to amend the postea in reference to the separation of the jury. Mr. HATCHELL observed that the motion for amending the postea was quite a preliminary application. Judge Camitrrox—We will not hear the same matters discussed twice over. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said he did not apprehend that the discussion of the notice would take much time, or the application in arrest of judgment, and therefore he required that the traversers should be in attendance in the morning and the arguments proceeded with at once. Mr. HArcireas. said they only looked for their strict rights. The Court rose at a quarter to eight o'clock. SATURDAY, MAY 25. At the sitting of the Court this morning Mr. Whiteside applied to have certain amendments made in the postea, by inserting thereon that the jury had been allowed to separate from day to day during the trial, and also by altering the words so as to be strictly in accordance with the findings of the jury upon the several issues sent before them. Justice CRAMPTON asked what was the object of the motion. Mr. WHITESIDE said the object was to have the fact set forth according to the truth, and so as to have it put in a train for argument before another tribunal. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the motion, and re ferred to the assent of Mr. Moore, Queen's Counsel, Counsel for the traversers, as to the separation of the jury, and also to the circumstance that the matter had been fully argued on the new trial motion, when the Court had unanimously decided the point against them. With respect to the amend ment of the record by an alteration on the postea as to the findings of the jury, he contended that the course followed by the Crown was strictly in accordance with the practice in all the cases. Mr. CLOSE followed on behalf of the traversers. He had no objection to any form of expression on the record which would set forth the facts according to the truth ; but he did not wish to have placed there words which would hereafter preclude his clients from having the question argued on a writ of error. With respect to the consent said to have been given by Mr. Moore to the separation of the jury, he under stood it to have been given after the Court had made' the order on the subject. Justice Prams said that the consent was either a compact Justice PERRIN thought there was no error on the postca as to the finding of the jury, and as to that part of the mo tion respecting the separation of the jury, he understood it to be withdrawn, because it must have been made under a wrong impression of how the matter stood. Sir C. O'LOGIILEN said he was as Counsel on behalf of the traversers to move in arrest of judgment, and, not anticipa= ting that the motion for amendin g the postal could be con cluded at that hour (two o'clock), he was not at that moment prepared to go on with his argument, but would respectfully ask a postponement until Monday. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to any further delay, in a proceeding which had already occupied so much of the public time. The CIIIEF JUSTICE asked—Would there be any objection o furnish the Crown with the points intended to be re ied on? Sir C. OTOGIILEN said the traversers did notintend to rely on any matter already argued. The CHIEF JUSTICE.—The Court would not permit them to do so. Sir C. O'LoGrILEN.—The objections would arise in the shape of a general demurrer to the indictment. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL protested against being con sidered a party to any further postponement in the argument on an indictment found so far back as the month of Novem ber last. If the counsel for the traversers did not go on till Monday, it would be difficult for hi; Learned Friend, the So licitor-General, in the hurry of sending for books of reference to the library, to see the bearings of the authorities quoted at the other side. After a further discussion between counsel. _ _ Sir C. O'LOGHLEN said the objections he intended to urge were these—first, a technical one as to the caption of tie in dictment; secondly, that the first five counts were bad for duplicity; and, thirdly, that all the counts were too general and vague. He would undertake to furnish the Crown in the course of the evening with a list of the authorities in sup port of his views, reserving to himself the right of adding any which, before Monday, he might become acquainted with. But all he was then in possession of should be stated in the list. This arrangement hating been assented to, the Court shortly afterwards adjourned. NEW HOUSES OF PARLIAMENT. We have, from time to time, felt it to be ov^ duty to direct attention to the negligent and very unsatis factory manner in which the supervision of' public works and edifices in this country is generally con ducted. What adds, not a little, to the vexation which the fact is calculated to excite, is, that this evil co exists with an immoderate staff of paid individual servants of the Crown, and more than one highly salaried board, especially charged with the duty of preventing that waste of public money, that dishonour to the national taste, and that injurious result to the national interests, whichtensue from such unsatisfac tory and negligent superintendence. For example : how many of our public edifices have perished by fire, owing to faults of original construction, or subsequent additions which have had an evident tendency to create or enhance the liability to combustion ; and in these cases, how universal has been the absence of that ordi nary degree of precaution which would have assured the public against the loss consequent on such cala mities ! In how many cases have sea-walls, and dock yard foundations, and piers, after being erected at an immense expense, suddenly given way, entailing, as in the case of the present Custom-house, for example, an expense of reparation absolutely frightful—for want of some competent and diligent investigation, preliminarily instituted and certified by some officer s of responsible authority. How many opportunities for noble manifestations of that British genius and talent, which open competition would have been sure to have elicited, have been, and daily are, sacri ficed to the species of official favouritism which gives to Sir R. SMIRKE, for instance, the fee simple or mo nopoly of all architectural employment in the design and construction of new buildings like those in pro gress at the British Museum ? These are bad cases enough ; but they are really less sickening, to our taste, than those constant, and almost inevitable, failures which appear to attend upon all the acts and perpetrations of that self-constituted dilletanti whom the credulity of Parliament selects for "Committees of Taste." Committees of Taste, indeed ! Enough, that we are indebted to them for such disgraceful puerilities as our Law Courts at Westminster, the Painted Chamber and the late " new buildings" of the old Ilouse of Lords ; the Corinthian façade of the Council-office and Board of Trade, which ought to have been in a line (but are not) with the eastern extremity of Downing-street ! All of them, if we mistake not, inventions of Sir JOHN SOAVE, now, happily for art, in a condition to " sin no more !" Had their commissions extended so far, we doubt not that they would have given their verdict in favour of the preposterous portico at the Admiralty ; of the selection of the accepted, instead of one of the rejected designs for the Royal Exchange; and of the superiority of design and elevation to WILKINS'S National Gallery over INIGO JONES'S Banquetting Ihll. We are sorry to find, on a more careful perusal of the Report of the " Lords' Committee, appointed a Select Committee to inquire into the building of the Houses of Parliament, and to report to the House" (brought from the Lord. 13th instant, and ordered by the House of Commons to be printed), that the offences of " Committees of Taste" are not yet mere matters of tradition, but are still rife and in active operation. The " Lords' Committee" reports this resolution, " That it appears from the evidence of CHARLES BARRY, Esq., that during the progress of the building of the Houses of Parliament, certain departures Pave taken place from the original plans approved of by the Committees of the two Houses of Parliament, and ordered to be carried into execution under the direc tion of the Boards of Treasury and Works, which alterations have been made by Mr. BARRY without any authority from either of those Boards ; to which circumstance they think it right to call the particular attention of the House." This resolution really appears to us amply called for, by the amount and effect of Mr. BARRY'S own answers to the Lords' Committee. It seems to us that Mr. BARRY has not only been guilty of singular rashness and in discretion in venturing upon so extensive a field of alterations as he has adopted, however he may try to excuse himself on the ground that " they are only matters of detail," but that he has shown a certain want of feeling for the dignity of his own art, and too great a facility in listening to suggestions about the adaptation of his very be autiful designs to the last new project for ventilation and smoke dispersion and heat diffusion—and to the fresco-painting fancies of the last " Commission of Fine Arts," which is billetted, like a company of observation, on the growth of " The New Palace at Westminster." Undoubtedly, warm and well-aired rooms and freedom from smoke are very agreeable properties in any structure, — but they are but accessories after all. It is of more consequence to give an air of grandeur, majesty, and state, in conformity with the best examples which the middle ages have left us of its mingled palatial and ecclesiastical architecture, to such a building as the sumptuous edifice in ques tion should be, than to accommodate its original plan to the theory of Dr. REID's scheme of ventila tion, by such an excrescence as the "Victoria Gallery," objected to with so much force in the evidence of Lord SUDELEY (one of the most accomplished and experienced authorities on such a question in the three kingdoms) ; or by the removal of the QUEEN'S Robing-room, immediately behind the House in the original design, a distance of 140 feet from it, to re move " the source of regret" to his Royal Highness Prince ALBERT, " that by the original arrangement there was a great want of large spaces for fresco paintings." We should be sorry to convey any unfair impression on these two points. We, therefore, quote some passages with regard to them. First, as to the ventilation plan, Lord SUDELET Mr. BARRY, after showing that the plan he is now _ working on is—not that which the Commissioners ' had originally settled, but—that which Committees of both Houses had subsequently settledand assented-to: states that— " Whereas in the plan selected by the Commissioners the river front is 780 feet in length, the average depth of the building from east to west is 270 feet, and the area covered is five and a half acres : in the plan approved by Parliament the length of the river front is 880 feet, the average depth of the building from east to west is 335 feet, and the area covered is seven and a half acres." And thus, in a written paper given in by him, he alludes to this new erection of the Victoria Gal lery : " With regard to the latter class of alterations, I beg to observe, that, in the first place, I was required to make, the necessary arrangements for the new system adopted' by Parliament for warming and. ventilating the entire building, which alone have caused many serious and im portant changes." And again : " Are the Committee to understand you that the Vic toria Gallery has been carried up to as great a height as the House of Lords itself merely for the sake of venti lation ?—No ; not merely on that account. That is only one of the reasons which has induced me to carry it up to that height." In these and other passages the plea for the altera tion is mainly founded, therefore, on the necessity for coaxing the original design into compatibility with Dr. REID'S monster flues. Next, as to the coquetting with the same design, which has been practised on behalf of the frescoes. Let question and answer—as in all other cases of coquetting—tell their own tale : " How comes it that you never made these inquiries respecting the importance of having the robing-room in a particular place until the plans were so far advanced that you could not place it there without an incon venience ?—I beg to state that the inquiry was made i% time, as the plans are not so far advanced but that the change may be made with the greatest facility. I had the honour the other day of going over the whole build ing with Pi:nce Albert, and it was a source of regret with his Royal Highness that there was a great want of large spaces for fresco paintings. On my pointing out, however, to his Royal Highness, that an opportuxity might be afforded of obtaining large spaces in the pro posed robing room at the throne end of the house, he was pleased to express his satisfaction at the change." Again : " Have you made, up to the present moment, any alteration in consequence of communication with the Commission of Fine Arts? —I have proposed an altera tion, in consequence of a regret expressed by the Com missioners of Fine Arts, that there was not sufficiently large spaces for paintings; namely, that a change should be made in the design of the Victoria-hall or gallery to afford the large spaces for pictures which are wished for." It is abundantly clear from the previous quotation, that this plural " Commission " extends not beyond the limits of Prince ALBERT. Now, with all our own love of art, which is ardent and sincere, we think the following remark of Lord SUDELEY is conclusive as to the mis take committed in sacrificing essentials of the original selected design to the accommodation for fresco paint ings. It is like preparing to convert the great Legis lative Chamber of the Empire into one vast Pmci lorama! Lord SUDELEY says, in answer to Q. 89— " If the buildings of the Houses of Parliament are meant fcr the fine artc, I think then that Mr. Barry's observation may be perfectly right; but I consider the Houses of Parliament as built for no such object; that the fine arts ought to be called in to embellish the Houses of Parliament, and that no necessary architectural arrangement shall be sacrificed for their display," We think more highly of the good taste of his Lord ship than we sympathise with the regret of his Royal Highness, which Mr. BARRY was so prompt to remove. Among the papers appended to the Report, touching the alterations in consequence introduced by Mr. Bnaarinto his design, we have perused with won der the conceded application of the Commissioners of Police, to have separate accommodations and cham bers provided in the new Houses, for the police con stables, forthwith, " in lieu of the sort of temporary barrack in Palace-yard, in which they have been hitherto lodged." The surveyors of the Board of Works call the architect's attention to the propriety "of making provision for ample permanent accommo dation for the police in the new general outlay," and in p. 30, Mr. BARRY, in his paper, says, that he had been called on, among other altera tions, "to provide accommodation for the A division of police." And this is actually being provided! 'What next, in GOD'S name, NN ill the gentle public be called upon to do for these mock PrEctorians ? The thing is too ridiculous. Can they not be contracted for in the manner in which arrangements for all other constables are usually made ? Send them to the " Brown Bear," or the " White Lion," but don't give them dormitories in the Palace of 'Westminster ! We do not see, however, that any estimate is yet given in for the expense of warm baths and a billiard-room —for the same destination; but we see that Mr. BARRY ranks the accommodation to be provided for a Librarian of the House of Lords next in order and consequence to that which is to be provided for some A policemen ! Upon the whole we do not understand how Mr. BARRY can bring himself to call the remarkable de partures he has made, on his own responsibility, from the original plans, from the plans settled by the two instructions given of Parliament, and the occa s i onal given to him by the Woods and Forests, " m ere ma tters of detail." Does he th i nk them t o b e such ? Lord IVRARNCI IFFE is entitled to much commendation for bringing the whole ma tt er be fore the House of Lords ; and t is to b e h ope d t h at such a system of uncertain accountability, and un tangible control, as are describ e d i n M r. B ARRY ' S an swer to question No. 85, will be got rid of with the least possible delay ,‘ Then you left it with the intention that alterations should be made in the plan; but to whose approval were those alterations . to be s u bj ec t e d?—l k new not t h at they were subjected to a n y one ' s approva l i n part i cu l ar. That rested with the Government. But the examination of the Commissioners before the Committee of the House of Commons will show we expected many to be made." CRUELTY OF MEHEMET ALI'S SON-IN-LAW.— The notorious Defturdar had a den in his garden, in which he kept a lion, which became so tame that he ran about the grounds at liberty, and followed his master like a dog. But before he was quite domesticated, and while yet in confinement, one of the gardener's assistants was guilty of some error, of which the superintendent complained to the Defturdar. In no case dilator) , in passing judgment, he ordered the accused, without going into details, to be cast into the lion's den. This order was immediately complied with ; the beast, how ever, treated the poor condemned wretch like a second Daniel ; it not only did no harm, but, to the astonish ment of the beholders, licked his hands. The gardener's assistant was not the animal's attendant, but had occa sionally thrown some of his bread into the den in pass ing. The noble animal had not forg otten this kindness, and' spared his benefactor's life. The Defturdar, on hearing this, was by no means pleased ; but blood thirsty as ever, and without f e e lin g the slightest appre ciation for this act of generosity, ordered the lion to be kept fast during the whole of the in the the delinque n t to remain in confinement : thinking, the anger of gratun- Tied rage, to force the beast to become the exe cutioner of its benefactor. But even hunger could not overcome the magnanimity of the royal animal, and the poor gardener remained the whole day unhurt in the (len with the lion. In the evening he was liberated, but did not long escape the vengeance of the tyrant, who, meeting him one day in the garden, where ho had brushed up a heap of leaves, accosted him with—" Dog, thou art so bad that a lion will not eat thee, but now thou hast made thine own grave." Hereupon he com manded him to carry th e d r y l ea ves to an oven, and then to creep in himself. When this order was executed, the tyrant had the leaves lighted, and the poor wretch ex pired under the most horrid tortures.—Travels in Kordofan.
