The sensation caused by this unrivalled production is beyond all former precedent; the artist, tie amateur, the casual observer are all struck with its extraordinary beauty and fidelity of delinea tion, and are unanimous in pronouncing it the Most wonderful ex hibition ever witnessed. To view it only as a vehicle for the terrific display at Dusk is unjust ; it should be seen in the calm stillness of the quiet Evening, with its Towers and Steeples reflected in the spa. does Lake, to be tully appreciated. The Evening PROMENADE CONCERTS, on Men 'ays, Tues "Lys, Wednesdays, and Thursdays, conducted . by Mr. Godftey, are upon a scale of more than usual excellence: but words fail in doing justice to the awful representation of THE GREAT FIRE 01 LONDON. Its fearful characteristics are truthfully pourtrayed, but at the same time so beautifully blended with the Wonders of the Pyrotechnic Alt, that delight is predominant over terror; and the 'thousands who nightly crowd the Gardens hail it with acclamations, and admit that Southby, the Unrivalled Pyrotechnist, his achieved a matchless ariunipfi.

In the House of Lords, the Earl of WINCIIILSEA gave notice that on Friday he should present some pQtitions on the corn-laws, and call The attention of the House to public granaries --a subject which he had deeply considered. The House resolved itself into Committee on the Bishoprics of St. Asaph and Bangor Bill. The Duke of WELLINGTON had previously announced that be would oppoSe the motion, hut little notice appeared to have been taken of this announcement, for the Bill Ntent through Committee, and was ordered to be read a third time on Monday. The Bishop of EXETER moved that the House re.. solN itself into Committee on the Brothels Suppres sierk Bill. Earl FITZRARDINGE took the opportunity of de- vying the statenents made by the Bishop of GLou- CESTBR relative to he suppression of these nuisances in the neighbourhood of Westminster Abbey, and on property belonging to the Dean and Chapter. The Bishop of GLOUCESTER* made the best of a bad case, but at the same time m ode singular ad mission. On that very day he said Dean and Chapter had given notice to many of the tenants to t . quit. We imagined, from the former sp eech Of he Right Rev. Prelate that the system of purificatiOu had been carried to the utmost pitch. The honour of purifying the purlieus of Westminster Abbey, it thus appears, will be conferred on Earl PITZLIARDINGE. The Bill went through Committee, and the House adjourned. In the Commons, after the presentation of petitions, Mr. T. DUNCOMBE again brought on a question which interests every Englishman—the Atrocious system adopted by Sir JAMES GRAHAM of opening letters at the Post-office. We cannot abridge his speech. Every word of it should be read. Sir JAMES GRAHAM'S reply exhibited a Minister of State in the most deplorable light. Mr. DUNCOMBE moved for a Committee of Inquiry. The Home Secretary resisted the motion. His conscience, he said, was pure—he had discharged his duty, which was an im portant one, and he should resist the motion. Mr. MACAULAY supported the motion for a Com mittee of Inquiry, in a speech which made a great impression on the House. Indeed, there appeared to be but one feeling on the subject, though of course the Ministerial supporters were obliged to vote with Sir R. PEEL, who did the best he could to get his ultra-Tory friend—once an ultra-Radical--out of the scrape. Lord JOHN RUSSELL, Mr. MILNES, Mr. SHEIL, and several other leading Members spoke, and the dis cussion altogether was full of interest. A division took place, when, with all the power of the Govern ment, in a House containing 372 Members, they could muster a majority of only 44. If Englishmen sub mit to such a system they deserve to be slaves. The third reading of ' the Sugar Duties Bill was postponed till Thursday. After the transaction of some minor business, the order of the day was read for going into Committee on the Bank Charter Bill." Mr. MASTEItMAN, moved that the House go into Committee that day six months. The motion was ne- - gatived on a division by a majority of 187, and the Bill was committed. On clause two being proposed, Mr. NE WDEGATE moved that the blank be filled up with twenty-two instead of fourteen millions. Eventually the amend ment was withdrawn, and the House resumed. The other orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Ten Minutes past One. Mr. DUNCOMBE, who is one of the few really honest men—the rani ?zanies in gurgite ,asto—that the pre sent House of Commons possesses, and whose speeches are uniformly characterised by that straightforward ness, good sense, and intrepidity, which are among the best qualities of a statesman, brought forward last night the important question of opening letters at the Post-office—a practice which the Home Secretary has not thought it beneath him to sanction with his direct approval, and which the Premier, though with the longest and sourest face that ever man yet made, has vainly endeavoured to justify. Not only, as appears from Mr. DurtcomßE's statement, have the private letters of Captain STOLZMAN, M. MazziNr, and God knows how many other persons, been opened at the General Post-office by order of the spotless Cataxim, but the affair has been transacted in the most mysterious manner possible, and with a skill and science which convinces us that the parties engaged are adepts in the work, and could not fail to achieve high distinction as burglars and cracksmen, were they ever to turn their attention that way. "Every care," said the Hon. Member for Finsbury, " had been taken to avoid suspicion ; impressions had been taken from the seals, and from these the opened letters were re sealed, and the cut was made so clean that it required almost a microscope to discover it. There were also double impressions made with the official stamp, so that the date when the letters were received at the Post office could not be ascertained." Now wherefore all these mean, tricky precautions, savouring so strongly of the genius of petty larceny, if the act were one per fectly defensible at law, justified by frequent prece dent, and in strict accordance with the ordinary usages of the Home-office ? If it was absolutely ne cessary that the thing should be done, it should have been done boldly, and not in this burglarious fashion. " That the power of opening letters was vested in the Secretary of State," observed Mr. DUNCOMBS, " he admitted, but it was only to be exercised in cases in which internal sedition or domestic trea son was apprehended." Now, in the instances of Messrs. STOLZMAN and MAzzim, no plea of the sort could be urged in justification; neither of these gentlemen had ever interfered in the politics of the country ; consequently the official violation of their correspondence was an act of the most gratuitous treachery and despotism. And what was the defence set up by Sir JAMES GRAHAM, in reply to the Mem ber for Finsbury's charges? He was warranted, for sooth, in acting as he had done, on the faith of a law almost as obsolete as that which sanctioned the use of the torture, the burning of witches, the wager of battle, and other such monstrosities ! And was this all that the Home Secretary had to urge in arrest of judgment ? Oh, no ! The richest part of his de- fence is yet to come. He denied the authority of the House to call him to account ; and, with a face of the most comical solemnity, insisted that he had dis charged his duty, and that his " conscience was pure in the matter !" His conscience ! Does he forget his past political doings ? Does he forgot his numer ous Protean changes and tergiversations from ultra- Radicalism to Whigism, from Whigism to Toryism, and from Toryism to any other Ism that has suited the views of his master and the exigencies of the moment ? Does Sir JAMES GRAHAM forget all this ? If he is conveniently oblivious of the past, the right thinking portion of the community are not; and when they read his defence, and more espe cially his allusion to his " conscience," greatly indeed shall we be mistaken if they do not experi ence a nausea akin to that of sea-sickness. To find i the Devil quoting Scripture is bad enough ; but to i find the Home Secretary talking of his "conscience" is, if possible, still worse. Poor Sir ROBERT PEEL ! He is really greatly to be pitied for the exhibition he was compelled to make last night ; though when we bear in mind how often he has dragged others through the dirt, we ought scarcely to feel regret that he is now dragged through it himself. Never had this consummate master of specious common-place so little to say for himself or his colleague, in reply to the crushing attack of Mr. MACAULAY. In vain he endeavoured to throw over the case a fine coating of sophistry. The naked facts stared through the var nish. " He thought," he said, " that his Right Hon. Friend was justified in exercising the power he had done." Mark the safe, discreet, wily wording of this sentence, so characteristic of the Premier's charac ter ! He was not positive that the Home Secretary had acted rightly; he only "thought" he had—a most convenient mode of defending his col league, which commits him to no decided opinion, but enables him to back out of an ugly pre dicament, and even throw Sir JAMES GRAHAM overboard, whenever it may suit his views of ex pediency to do so. We do most earnestly hope that the people will mark their sense of the Home Secre tary's conduct, by holding public meetings on the subject in every county, city, and town, throughout the length and breadth of the land. They may rely on it that the evil will not stop at the point which it has now reached. The principle that private letters may be opened at the Post-office being once sanc tioned by Government, will soon engender a regular system of official espionage, under whose inquisitori a l tyranny corre spondence be or a wherefore, maynoman can be safe. If one individual's v mayiolated by authority without a why why should not another' s ? Dr. Plum.- POTTS, for instance, indite a moving epistle to the Ecclesiastical Commissi on , reques ti ng th a t hi s rich and long -lamen ted rectory of Stanhope ma y b e restored ohrienlh the Me m b er for Evesham, finding politics a o honourable th an l ucrative profession, t m may: address a letter to the Manag er of the Surrey, requesting that he may be again allowed to play Othello for his benefit at that theatre; an d both these strictly private and confidential , communications may be violated by order o f the Home Secretary, and . the greatest possible shock be thereby inflicted on the delicate sensibilities of the unsuspecting writers. The principle—whether legal or not—of opening letters intended solely for the perusal of those to whom' they are addressed, is a most iniquitous—a most und iustifiable one, suited only to the meridian of St. Pete, - shurgh ; and , there fore, one can hardly wonder at fin. ling it sanctioned by, a Conservative Government, and supported by a majority of forty-four sycophantic Con. iervatives The subject of railroad travelling, tu.ll, in con nection' with it, the marvellous improvements and advances in the art of locomotion which almost every week's experience developes or improves, are matters of such universal interest in this country, that the Legislature appears to be impressed with a salutary sense of its own responsibility in dealing with them. They come home, in fact, to the every day business of every man. They concern equally his business and his pleasure. They regard a new power which approximates the remotest points of these islands to the metropolis, the extremities to the centre ;—a power, whose velocity outstrips the wind ; whose strength mocks all living forces—whose endurance is measured only by the supply of a simple vapour, and the capacity of machinery to resist its expan;iiro pressure ; and is regulated by the limita tions of its" employer's pleasure, through means of the simplest i l ; . %iginable construction—applied with, at ease, a certaintr and a facility of control, that seems magically disTmPortionate to the terrible power and the enormous bulk to be acted upon. If such be the mechaniC. al triumphs of this wonderful application of steam ' sower to locomo tion, the moral effects of that application have been yet more wonderful. Local prejudices and district prepossessions have been more sensibly extinguished, during the 10 years for which our principal lines of railway have been opened, than they had been in the previous half century. Sections of society, between whom it has been customary to imagine there existed almost instinctive animosities, have been more largely brought together in the course of railway communi cations, than without these aids, in the lapse of very many year's would probably have been the case. The reciprocal isolation of the capital and the provinces is fast disappearing; and in less than another decade we may find it a favourite relaxation with„ the farmers of Caithness to traverse the wealds of Sussex, and for experimental reclaimers of the moors in Cornwall or Devonshire to inspect upon the spot the turnip hus bandry of Norfolk. By an analogous process, this growing interchange of opinions and intelligence and observation may, at no distant period, push the march of agriculture into districts, the capabilities of whose soils have not yet been adequately tested ; and establish manufactures in localities where the power of raising raw material has been hitherto little more than sus pected. It may be found that hops may be taught to flourish in the north as well as the south of these islands ; and that there are' still large wastes 'in the home counties, those adja cent to the metropolis, on which the enterprise, sagacity, and industry of cultivators from bleak but improved and productive sections of the border coun ties of England and Scotland, may raise excellent crops of barley and farinaceous produce. Far more sanguine than these were the anticipations under which Dr. CAMPBELL, seventy years ago, developed in his " Political Survey of Great Britain," the vatural resources of these kingdoms. To an extent far more extraordinary have his views been since verified— and by means and under encouragement infinitely less —than those which now justify us in looking forward to an incalculable amount of national benefit and social wealth, as likely to be derived from the more general establishment of railway lines through the length and breadth of the land. We recommendattention to the abstract we publish, in another column, of the principal features of the new Government Bill, relative to the conditions to be observed in respect of the construction of future rail ways, &c. We hope it may receive the careful dis cussion of Parliament, as one of the most important measures that has been brought forward in the pre sent session. Our readers, on referring to the Queen's Bench report, will see that the Baron DE BODE has at last obtained justice. He has been struggling with the English Government for twenty years. That Government had received from France money to pay all just claims to French emigrants, but had disposed of it in a way only known to GEORGE the FOURTH and the Earl of LIVERPOOL. The Baron DE BODE was one of the sufferers. He has had the courage, and the indomitable perseverance too, to prosecute his claim to the last. He threw himself on the honesty and judgment uf an English jury, and he has not been disappointed. After a trial of three days, the jury returned a verdict, yesterday, in favour of the Baron's claim, awarding him the full amount, 364,2661., with in • terest. There are some other claimants still on the Government for money which has been swamped in a similar manner, and which, from this auspicious ver dict, we trust will yet be restored to the rightful owners. In the report from Worship-street office will be found another instance of the tyranny which the new police force would, if they could, establish in the metropolis. An industrious man, selling ginger beer and other beverage requisite in this hot weather for the poorer classes, is taken into custody, his little property carried to the Green-yard, and his whole stock probably destroyed, because a policeman thought fit to interfere on a pretended order issued by a sergeant of police. An inspector attended to give some explanation, and stated that he knew nothing of the order in question. The Magistrate, of course, set the man at liberty, but what remedy is that for such an outrage upon the poorer classes ? If the public do not support the journals that take an interest in restraining the inroads of the police on the liberty of the people, they will speedily find that Colonel ROWAN and Sir JAMES GRAHAM will treat Englishmen like Russian serfs. There is an evident tendency in that direction. We believe Sir J. GRAHAM to be the most dangerous Home Minister that ever Slled the office, not even SIDMouTH excepted ; and if the people of this country wish to preserve their liberties, they ought to get up meetings in every dis trict to pray the QUEEN to dismiss the renegade. He opens letters entrusted to the Post-office, be disperses harmless multitudes when they assemble to petition Parliament for a redress of grievances. He was once the advocate for sponging out the national debt, the most radical leveller of the present time ; and he is now the moat bitter persecutor of the men who follow out his original principles. We could bear with some degree of patience such conduct from an old consistent Tory ; but such de spotism on the part of a Radical-Reformer, an osten tatious friend of liberty—a professed friend of the people, and one of the leading men who carried the Reform Bill, is quite insufferable. Madrid papers of the 17th have been received, but are entirely devoid of interest. Reports prevailed that all the Ministers had been summoned to Barce lona, but for what purpose is not stated. A letter, dated Bayonne of the 20th, contains the following remarks, which, probably, are more true than the fulsome reports published in the Madrid journals : "The people, of Barcelona appear to take very little in terest in the movements of the Spanish Queens. Altogether their Majesties have met with a very cold reception from the Catalans. If it were not for the soldiers in their new uni forms, and the coaches and horses of the Ambassadors, and General Naryaez, Barcelona would be very dull. "Several insulting pasquinades, reflecting upon Queen Christina, have been affixed to the walls of the Palace and against the Theatre in the Rambla. "Queen Isabella continues her course of sulphurised tepid baths, but the irruptions on her face and hands remain the same." The Funds have advanced. The Three per Cents. were done at 27i for cash, and 28 at 60 days ; and the Five per Cents. at 20i- for cash. We regret to find from the Paris papers of Sunday that the troops of the Emperor of Monocco have made another attack upon the French troops under General LAMORICIERE, and according to the account given by General BUGEAUD, in a most unfair and treacherous manner. These facts are announced in the following telegraphic dispatch : "TOULON, JUNE 23, 8 O'CLOCK, A.M. " LALLA MARGUIA, JUNE 16. "THE GOVERNOR-GENERAL OF ALGERIA TO THE SUS' , LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING , JU NE 25c 1844. E 4 MINISTER OF WAR. " Yesterday, during a conference with the Com mander of the Morocain army, his troops, to the num ber of 5,000 cavalry, fired upon ours, and wounded an officer and two soldiers, whilst we did not return their fire. The conference was broken up, and Generals LAMORICIERE and BEDEAU have been attacked by the troops of the Emperor of bloaocco. " I arrived, and assumed the offensive, and killed of the "enemy from 300 to 400 men, whose bodies re mained on the field. I captured some horses, and from 300 to 400 stand of arms. Never was any chas tisement better merited. We had 6 killed and about 20 wounded." The other intelligence in the papers is not of much importance. The amendment carried on Saturday, in the Chamber of Deputies, in opposition to the Government plan for the construction of railroads, has caused some sensation, but as the majority was so small, and the Government are determined to adhere to the Bill passed in 1842, the vote will probably be reversed. The Journal des Debats, however, regards this difference between the Chamber and the Govern ment in a serious light. "The Chamber of Deputies," it says, "has adopted an amendment which places the expense of fixing rails on the Paris and Lyons Rail road to the account of the State ; and, consequently, as far as regards that railroad, completely repeals the system of the Bill of 1842. We might urge that this amendment was carried by a majority of only one voice-138 against 137—and maintain that it was an insignificant vote. We might assert, that it was possible to avoid this result, and that the Chamber, evidently uncertain, might have been induced to adhere to the Bill of 1842 by the expression of a determination to uphold that Bill on the part of Ministers. But we shall be completely candid, we shall conceal nothing. This determination of the Chamber is a serious one. A law admitted two years since as a compromise between the different systems which paralysed each other, again sanctioned a few days since after an ani mated debate on the occasion of the Bordeaux Rail road, and now completely lacerated—a mode of exe cution which obtained the most votes, which opened an extended career to private industry, and which gave guarantees for the prompt completion of a net work of railroads by connecting the State, not only by an indefinite engagement towards the country, but by an obligatory contract with respect to conces sionary companies. There is no doubt but that the Government will explain their intention before the Chamber of Deputies on Monday next." This pre• 'postarous vote the Siecle states was caused entirely by a remarkable speech made by M. GARNIER PAGES, who condemned the system of companies, and con tended that railway tariffs should be placed on the same footing as Customs' tariffs. The Three per Cents. were quoted at TORTONI'S on Sunday at 82f. 45c. THE WEATHEE.—After a drought of almost un exampled duration a complete change has at last taken place. For the last few days partial showers had fallen, but owing to the dryness of the earth, and the great heat, they produced little effect. The grass in all the parks had been literally " done brown ;'' there was not the slightest symptom of verdure, and the owners of cattle and sheep were obliged to feed them with hay to pre serve them from starvation. The barometer for the last two days has been falling, and this morning about five o'clock, a most refreshing rain commenced, which has hitherto continued without intermission. We are glad to find from the provincial journals that the weather has not been so dry in the country, and the dullness of the grain market would lead to the belief that the crops, if we except the hay crop, have not suf fered much.

The many reports we have heard upon the subject of the iron duties in the States of the 'Loll Yerein have necessarily led to a good deal of speculation and assertion as to what is really intended, and we are again thrown into a state of un certainty by the statement in advices from Germany of the in tended raising of the duties on and after the Ist of September next. The impost upon the raw foreign material will, it is said, be ten silver groschens, and upon wrought iron, &c., there will be proportionable charges. The more absurd feature, however, is the levying of an export duty of 71 silver gros chens. The Belgian engineers are obtaining in some quarters, it would seem, the preference over our own, arrangements hav ing been concluded with a party of some standing in Belgium to proceed with a body of his countrymen to Mexico, for the purpose of constructing a railway, which Santa Anna has or dered from Vera Cruz to San Juan. The private bankers are reported to be against the Three Months' Average Circulation Amendment. The funds have been slightly influenced by the accounts from Paris of the commencement of hostilities between France and Morocco, and the opposition to the Government plans for the formation of the railroads. The caprice exhibited, how ever, may materially retard the extension of the railway system on the other side of the Channel.

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY, THE DUKEDOM OF SUSSEX—COMMITTEE FOR PRIVILEGES. Their Lordships sat to-day in a Committee for Privileges, for the purpose of further considering the claim of Sir Augustus D'Este to the Dukedom of Sussex. The judges were also in attendance. Among the Peers present, we noticed the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord Brougham, Lord Campbell, Lord Langdale, the Duke of Hamilton, Lord Beaumont, Lord Cloncurry, Lord Denman, Viscount Strangford, Lord Redesdale, Lord Wrottesley, the Earl of Devon, the Earl of Wicklow, Lord Colville, and the Duke of Richmond ; an d among th e j u d ges , th e Lord Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Mr. Justice Coltman, Mr. Justice Patteson, and Mr. Justice Williams. Counsel being called in, Sir T. WILDE proceeded to call the following witnesses. Augusta Emma D'Este, the sister of the claimant, proved the death of her mother and the finding of various corres pondence, after that event, between the late Duke of Sussex and her mother. She also proved and produced the Prayer book by which Mr. Gunn married her mother to her father. The marriage took place at Rome. Lady Virginia Murray—Was the daughter of the Earl of Dunmore, and sister of the mother of the last witness. His late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex visited their family when at Rome, and paid sreat attentions to her sister. Heard of their marriage at lorence. Re'collects her sister being confined in Lower Berkley. The present claimant was the child that was then born. The late Duke of Sussex and Lady Augusta lived together as man and wife. The claimant was called the little Prince, or Prince Augustus, and the claimant's sister was called ie Princess Augusta. The Right Hon. Dr. Lushington was then called, and stated that he was very well acquainted with his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex. He constantly conversed with witness on matters upon which he took -a deep inte rest, and several times on the subject of his marriage. The particular period at which he conversed was when his Royal Highness was at Halcombe, about 182.5, 1826, or 1827. rlis Royal Highness took witness into his private apartments and detailed the facts of his marriage. The conversation lasted four hours. Mr. RULE—Did he state the name of his wife? Loid CAMPBELL objected to the evidence altogether, on the ground that there might be some Hs mote. Their Lordships, after some discussion, decided on reject ing the evidence, and Dr. Lushington withdrew. Sir Robert Stopford was called, and proved bringing his late Royal Highness the Duke of Sussex, in 1793, from Leg horn to this country, and in 1794 taking him back again to Leghorn, where they arrived in March of that year. Dr. Nicholas Wiseman resided twenty-two years at Rome. Was Coadjutor of the Bishop of Rome there. Was aware of the law at Rome usually called the Council of Trent. By the law there, a marriage to be valid must take place before the parish priest and two witnesses. All Catholic marriages must be according to the provisions of the Council of Trent. The witness was then examined at some length as to what the law was in Reme with respect to marriage, and several books were referred to, written by the Popes themselves on the subject. Some discussion then took place as to the manner in which evidence should be given of what a foreign law was ; whether it should be by witnesses or by books. The Lord Chancellor and Lord Brougham thought they should examine some skilful person, while Lord Campbell thought they might rely on learned books. Lord DENMAN said there could be no difficulty on the subject, because they had both books and learned individuals present. Lord LANGDALE said the only question was how the wit ness was to be examined. He believed the course pursued was the correct one. Dr. Wiseman was then re-called—He was clearly of opinion that a marriage at Rome between two Protestants before a Protestant clergyman would be considered in that country as valid, the children legitimate, and any property they might have would descend fa' their children; and such marriage would not be subject to ecclesiastical censure. The witness then proceeded at considerable length to state the effect of the Council of Trent with respect to marriages in the Holy See, in the course of which he re ferred to several eminent text writers on the subject, which caused some discussion as to whether the witness could refer to them in evidence ' • or, in fact, whether his evidence could be further proceeded with, it appearing that he had not suf ficient legal knowledge of the law of marriage in Rome. Sir T. WILDE and Mr. ERLE submitted that the witness was a competent one. After examining Dr. Wiseman as to what his jurisdiction was as coadjutor Bishop in this country, The ArronsEir-GENEEAL then addressed their Lordships, and the Committee decided in favour of the admissibility of the evidence. The examination of the witness was then resumed.—lf the marriage was brought before any of the Roman tribunals the marriage would be considered legal, and the children would inherit. It is the opinion of theologians and lawyers that where Protestants are married according to their own form, even where the Council of Trent has been promulgated, are married. Pope Benedict XIV. issued a bull declaring the validity of such marriages, and stating his reasons for de ciding that such marriages had all along been legal. Lord BROUGHAM—Has any thing ever been done since at Rome to vary the construction you have put upon it? Wit ness—There has not. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL—Have you ever known a case where the validity of a marriage between two Protestants has come under the consideration of the courts at Rome ? Wit ness—Not since then. Cross-examined by the SOLICITOR-GENERAL--A parish priest could not marry a Roman Catholic and a Protestant without leave, because it would require a dispensation. If he were to do it it would be invalid. He;would.not:marry two Protestants, but supposing he were to do so, the mar riage would be valid. It would not be right for the parish priest to do it, but if he were to do so it would be valid, supposing it was performed in the presence of witnesses. If it were performed by a priest without the presence of witnesses, it would be void, because it would be against the decree of the Council of Trent. If Protestants are married by a Catholic priest, they submit themselves to the Catholic law. If a marriage between Protestants is contracted, according to their own religious forms, then the Church acknowl e d ges th a t marr i age. By Lord CAMPBELL—If a Presbyterian man and a Presby terian woman were married at Rome by a Presbyterian clergy man, that would be considered a valid marriage by the laws of Rome. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL--The law of Rome would not recognise the validity of the marriage of a Catholic priest, al though it might be valid in this country, because it would be contrary to his vow. Sir T. WILDE then stated that he had intended to call as a witness a very learned gentleman, a Catholic priest, but he doubted whether after the last decision the House would think his evidence admissible. Ire would however call him. The gentleman in question was then called, and exa mined as follows :—Had studied at Rome, and went through a full cour s e o f th eo l og i ca l e d uc ation—that! includes studying the law of marriage. I am what is called a pro fessed father of the Order of Jesuits. lam connected with Stonyhurst. The law of marriage forms an essential part of those laws which I had to study. By the SOLICITOR-GENERAL—I have no judicial functions to perform connected with marriage. My studies were merely to qualify me for performing the functions of a priest of the Catholic Church. By Lord BROUGHAM—I am a regular priest, not a secular priest. The LORD CHANCELLOR (after a short consultation with the Judges and the Law Peers) announced, that in the opinion of their Lordships the evidence of the witness was not sufficient. Some member of some tribunal at Rome, or some lawyer practising at Rome, ought to be called and examined on the subject, or certainly there would be considerable difficulty in inducing their Lordships to take the same view of the subject as Sir Thomas Wilde. He did not wish to dictate to Sir Thomas Wilde, but he threw out the suggestion. Ina question of such vast importance it was necessary that their Lordships should be in possession of the clearest evidence. The Committee then adjourned sine die, in order to afford time to Sir Thomas Wilde to procure additional testimony in support of the claim. When he is prepared, he will com municate with the Lord Chancellor, and a day will be ap pointed for the further consideration of the subject ; the Lord Chancellor reminding Sir Thomas Wilde of the necessity of procuring this additional testimony before the Judges went on circuit. UNION HALL.-(THIS DAY.) Several men were brought up from Lambeth workhouse for destroying their clothes, and amongst the defendants was a young man named Mills, who, in answer to the interroga tories of the Magistrate, said that he was an attorney's clerk at Newcastle-upon-Tyne ; that there being a scarcity of em ployment at that place, he came up to town to seek a situa tion ' but, failing in his endea vours , was re d uce d to hi s pre sent destitute condition. Another of the defendants said that he was a country labourer, and that he came up to London for the purpose of enlisting in the East India Company's service, but that, being unfortunately half an inch under the standard height, he was rejected. Owing to that circumstance, he was also re duced to destitution. Mr. CorriNGHAm said that the spirit the young man ex hibited, in wishing to enter her Majesty's service rather than be idling about, deserved a better fate ; and he was of opinion that a fine, healthy-looking young fellow like him, would not have his services rejected in other regiments. The Magis trate added, that as the defendants were proved to have de stroyed their clothes, he must be under the necessity of com mitting them for seven days each. The unfortunate defendants appeared thankful for being sent to gaol. CLERKENWELL.-(THIS DAY.) A man named Lee was charged with assaulting another mechanic named Barrett. The complainant lives in Baldwin's-place, Baldwin's-gar dens. On the previous night, between eleven and twelve o'clock, a dispute took place between them. 'When Police sergeant 3 G came up at one o'clock this morning, he saw Barrett bleeding profusely from the right eye, anti his arm was dislocated. He took bee into custody. The prisoner's defence was, that he had been acting the part of a friend to the complainant, by furnishing him with tools and money for sonic time past, and this the complainant admitted to be true. ➢ir. BROUGHTON said he could not pass over the prisoner's conduct. He would fine him ten shillings, or a fortnight's imprisonment in the House of Correction. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. (THIS DAY.) George Roach, a young man in the garb of a sailor, was charged with the following outrage :—Mr. Henry Zachariah Jervis, of 1, Bedford-terrace, New Kent-road, solicitor, stated that between 12 and 1 o'clock this morning, as he was pro.• ceeing along Oxford-street, in the direction towards Holborn, he saw the prisoner standing against a post near St.Giles's, and, as he was prssing him, he put out his foot and nearly threw prosecutor down. He asked him what he did it for, when he attacked him in a most violent manner, and struck him several heavy blows. Jones, police-constable of the E division, came up, and took the prisoner into custody, but he broke from them, and again violently assaulted witness. After great resistance he was secured. Four police-constables preferred several charges of assault against the prisoner. Ile had bitten the fingers of one of them most severely. Five or six fellows were standing about when the prisoner commenced his attack upon the complain ants. They were no doubt accomplices, and their purpose was robbery. Mr. MALTBY said it was a very gross outrage, and asked the prisoner what he had to say ? The prisoner, with a careless air—Nothing at all. What's the use of my sayinc , anything? Mr. MALTBY—Then I fine you 5/., or commit you for two months to hard labour. Being unable to pay the fine he was sent to gaol. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.
