In place of that we find motion after motion for adjuurnment, the majority in creasing on each division until at length it amounted to no less than 311, there being 54 for and 365 against the adjournment, and yet that over whelming majority were obliged to succumb, and to consent that the motion for going into Committee should be postponed until Thursday next. Under such circumstances it is clear that a Committee of Inquiry must be appointed to inquire and report on the standing orders, and to ascertain the best manner of expediting the progress of legislation in both Houses. It will be observed that a verdict has at length been pronounced in reference to the fatal railway col lision in Cheshire. It will also be remarked that this verdict is couched in language expressive of the most emphatic condemnation. Accidental—purely acci dental—the death is unquestionably pronounced to be, but " with great blame to the executive committee and charge of imprudence and indiscretion against the officers." Such are the preliminary phrases of the verdict, vague but adverse—the subsequent sentence being somewhat more explicit in its reprobation. " There was deficiency," it says, " of loco motive power, and the management was so imperfect as to endanger the safety of the public:' Whether this decision is or is not in all respects cha racterised by truth, it cannot be denied that it has been arrived at after the most mature deliberation. Nothing could be more painstaking than the attention paid throughout to the inquiry by the coroner, or more evidently conscientious than the final opinion expressed by the body of jurymen. From all the circumstances of this case it must from the very out set have been apparent that no ad'quate precautions were taken to prevent the possibility of any such horrible and disastrous accident. Otherwise it could scarcely have occurred so slowly and deliberately. Warning of some sort must inevi tably have been given of the danger approached by the second train previously to its entrance into the fatal tunnel. From the peculiarity of the occurrence it has suggested itself to the minds of the jury that peril of the like kind might henceforth be very readily avoided by the affixing of signals,jnvariably, at the mouth of every such excavation, and by attach ing lights iu addition to this upon all occasions to the carriages. Had measures of this description been adopted upon the railway through Cheshire, the survivors of the unfortunate victims of the collision would not have had better cause tor lamenting the untimely demise of their friends and relatives. The event referred to should con sequently be taken as a warning of an awfully im pressive character, enforcing upon all the railway companies of the United Kingdom the necessity of adopting the means specified for the avoidance of equally lamentable catastrophes. Considering the terrific power placed by science under the guidance of man in the steam-engine, it must, nevertheless, be confessed that the marvel is rather that so few fatal accidents have occurred since the inauguration of the railway system than that the public has been oc casionally startled by their announcement. Those who have never chanced to be waiting on the platform of an intermediate station when an express train has roared past and disappeared in the distance can at all realize the extraordinary velocity with which the iron rails are daily traversed. Coupling with this the strange complication of the various lines upon any one of the trunk railroads, and the seemingly inex tricable difficulty of shunting those lines one into an other, according to the passage of the various trains up and down, and in proportion to the lapse of time in the four-and-twenty hours, the wonder is that no more accidents have transpired than those recorded during the last quarter of a century upon the diurnal tablet of the newspaper. Nevertheless, while such may be the surprise experienced in the consideration of this matter by the uninitiated, those who are familiar with the general organization of the system of railways can understand the facilities placed in the way of the authorities for the prevention, under ordinary circumstances, of any really serious catastrophe. With the aid of their customary regulations, with a strict adherence to the hours of arrival and departure, with careful attention to the conduct of the different underlings intermediately situated between the principal termini, and with a sedulous regard to the repairs of the road and the efficiency of the engines employed in the traffic to and tro—there scarcely remains a possibility of any thing like a collision, or of an accident of any less terrible character. It consequently behoves the directors of the various lines now in ope ration to look cautiously to each and all of the particulars above enumerated, so that in every instance the blame may attach rather to their servants than to themselves. By this method the public interest would be effectually conserved, and additional reasons would be afforded for attention to their different duties among the officials employed upon the three thousand miles and upwards of railway now in active operation through out England. Rewards of a more attractive kind than those hitherto extendtd to the servants of the various companies should he held out for the faithful discharge of duties of a very arduous and responsible description. Punishments in like manner of a more serious and practicable species, such, for example, as the degradation or discharge of the culpable, should be raised in terrorem over the heads of those entrusted with the lives and deaths of their fellow-creatures, inciting them to the more punctilious discharge of duties so peculiarly onerous and important. By this method we feel satisfied that the whole intricate system of railway management might ultimately be conducted with the precision and regularity of clockwork. Ebvaxillit _; ' LONDON, TUESDAY, MAY 12, 1851. In the Fir me of Lords, last right, some discussion took place on the presentation of a petition by the Earl of GLENOALL, from the millowners of Tipperary, praying for protection against the importation of foreign flour. It, howi-ver, led to no result. The Church Buildicgs Act Amendment Bill was or dered to be referred to a Select Committee, and their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, On the motion for going into Committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, Mr. Moonu moved, as an amendment, " That the standing order which requires that Bills concerning religion should be first cunsidered in a Committee of the whole House be read, and that the order for the Committee on the Ecclesiatical Titles Assumption Bill be diichareed," _ _ Sir G. GREY said the question bad been considered before the introduction of the Bill. and the decision ar rived at was, that the Bill did not come within the scope tit the, standing order. Mr. ROEBUCK was of a different opinion. The SPEAKER said that unless the spiritualities of religion were interfered with there would be no necessity for submitting the Bill the first instance to a CORI. I mittee of the whole ll , use. Mr. M. G/BSoN suggested that a Select Committee should be appointed to search for precedents. Mr. IL GRATTAN supported the motion of Mr. MOORE. Mr. REYNOLDS said he wruld move the appointment of a Select Committee, to search for precedents. The SPEAKER said he could not do so as an amend ment fie could only negative the motion for his leaving the chalr. Mr. ROEBUCK b+lieved it was competent to move an adjournment of the dt bate. The SPEAKER replied in the affirmative; and Mr. REYNOLDS accordir;gly chit so, in order to give time for the appointment f a Committee. Mr. KEOGH enid that Mr. BItODIE, Mr. BADDELEY, and Sir klTzttoir KELLY uoostaeri.d that the Bill ought to hive in Committee. 1 he Zi ULICITUR GLNERAL di-bled that the Bill affected spiticu .

GREY the Home, after the recent divi sion, would reject the present motion, and allow the Bill to prctecd. After some conversation the Home again divided, and the motion tor adjournment ryas negatived by a majority of 145 to 36. • Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL opposed the motion for the Speaker's I.=aving the ckair. Mr. URQVHART also opposed the motion. Mr. liEoun %allied the Government against the den g. roue conse queuces which must attend au attempt to enfolea the pr,visions of the Bill iu Ireland, and con tended that the POPE bad received every encourage ment from the Government to act in the manner he had done. Lord JOHN RUSSELL denied that there was any per secution in the proposed measure. It was a political m.-asure framed to repel an open and daring detidnce of the .SOVEREIGN of this country by the Count of Rome. Mr. BRIGHT could not bee any necessity for Legisla tion in all that had taken place. Mr. SCULLY moved the adjournment of the debate. The House divided, and th© numbers were— For the adjournment . . ... 54 Against it Majority ...-311 Mr. OTLAHERTY then moved the adjournment of the debate. Lord J. RUSSELL was in hopes that they might have gone into Committee, but rather than keep the House dividing all night, he would assent to the adjournment of the debate until Thursday next. The Property Tax Bill was read a third time and passed. Lord SEYMOUR obtained leave to bring in a Bill to make better provision fur the management of the Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues of the Crown, and for the direction of publio works and buildings. The remaining business was then disposed of, and the 'Ruse adjourned. There is apparently no art which has been brought a higher degree of perfection than that of obstruct ng the public business of the country. Measures will no longer be carried through Parliament because they are in accordance with public opinion, and are supported by overwhelming majorities in both Houses. They will pass by the favour of the minorities, be cause they have not excited any strong feelings in the minds of some fifteen or twenty Members, suffi cieut to induce those Einourable Gentlemen to enter upon a course of factious opposition. The promise of "dying on the floor of the Howe" will henceforward be no mere brutum fulmen—no empty threat. Any person really aminitioue of martyrdom can accomplish his wishes, rovi.led he can find two or three tough vete rans, men who would be duly qualified to act as boot-eaters " at Irish state trials, to render their assistance to carry out the laud hle undertaking. Indeed, we believe a single follower will suffice, one who can ring the changes on the questions—" That this House do now adjourn," and " that the debate be now adjourned." It is necessary, according to the standing orders, elk there should be some intermediate proceeding, before either question can be again proposed. But the spirit of this salu tary rule is violated with impunity by adopting the Pu-tile evasion above indicated, and if a seconder can he found who will act as teller on the division, and vary his position on the next motion, of which he will be the proposer, nothing can be done to atop their course. Two persons can thus overule the wishes of the remaining 654, and can arrest the pro gress of legislation at their mere will and pleasure. This might be a valuable privilege if resorted to only on rare occasions, when desirable to prevent surprise, or a question of real importance being adjudicated on without full and mature consideration. But the matter has now reached a point at which something must be done to abate- the nuisance that has gradually sprung up. It is those who have so fearfully abused the power confided to their hands who will be re sponsible for any evils that may arise from the abro gation of the Ancient rule. After the time that had already been devoted to the consideration of the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, we might have hoped that no further factious oppo sition would have beers offered to the progress of the measure. It was es en asserted that the Irish Brigade had come to reason, and determined to change their tactics in some degree. Every legitimate ground would of course remain open. They might argue and divide on the principle and on each of the details, on every stage, where a division could be fairly called fur. In so doing, they would command the respect and sympathy of the House and country. But the nn the eey moat t lfully and deliberately transgress h limits within which they s h ou ld restrict tohpe:onseelnytess , co t u h l e d y ac d epo o orow m pe o iri re to injure their cause of t r . disgust, that not may only. to accomplish. h u and They uncompromisingexeexcite a feeling be productive of res u l ts ve ry c t f he u ir niv o e w rs n al irtidolievridatuiaolninatenc reete, but t o t h e cause i liberality, do not c omp l ain of the po int raised by the ‘.e e Honourable Gentl eman the Member c f o o n r si A d l er a e y d o, that and the proposition should beenhave agreed to in a Committee of the whole House before e r lcoooukledd have v n e obvious r eaa o n. the introduction of the Bill.

In it are periodically published the names and addresses of the various strangers visiting our•metropolis. Those foreigners who have not yet been announced in its columns as among the recent arrivals in London, we would recommend at once to transmit their names to the publisher as a matter to them of very obvious convenience. Besides this interesting catalogue of visitors, the paper comprises an admirable guide to the sights and amusements of the day, lucidly arranged, and containing every particular of any in terest whatsoever. The Visitors' List will be tound alto gether to be one of the most excellent publications yet offered to the foreigners arriving amongst us for the purpose of witne►sing the Exhibition.

Miss Rummel, Miss Magner, Madame L,maitre, Miss Lavinia, Miss Day, Madame Guilin, Mr. Day, Mr. Goodban, Herr Schmidt, Herr Rummel, Herr Goffrie, Mr. Frederick Chatterton, &c. The lower apart ments were ornamented with some fine pictures by English and foreign artiste, and where, during the interval of the musical performance, the company retired to partake of some coffee provided for them by the committee, spending a most pleasant and social evening, which was prolonged to a late hour. ROMAN CATHOLIC HIFRARCHT.—An acldresa, to which 255,766 signatures were attached, and which was pre sented to her Majesty from her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects in England, disclaiming any intention ( f trenching urou the vyal prerogative in the recent appointment of a Roman Catholic hierarchy, ba3 been printed by order of the House of Commons. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—Amongst the recent deposits at this valuable establishment may be seen a machine for making nets, the invention of Mr. William Mullen, United States, which accomplishes that which not long since was deemed arc impossibility, viz., tying a knot in the centre of two straight cords; and the knot formed by this arrangement, strange to say, is the same precisely as that made by the fishermen in which the needle is passed com pletely through the mesh. Certainly these triumphs of me chanical ingenuity lead us to what so frequently appeals in the present day, to believe that nothing is really impossible; for we find that which to-day teems absurd to attempt, to morrow is a mere comminiplf:ce matter. We understand ' that by this contrivance n is of all kinds may be produc‘ d at a merely nominal advance upon the raw material es at pre sent procured. (hie dist W V ELSH LAB OURERS . IRISH NAVVIES.-- last week, a body of Irish navvies, numbering about forty or fifty, wt.re engaged by Mr. Al• Cormack, contractor, of Bir kenhead, to proceed to Bangor, for the purpose of excavat ing and terming a line of railway to connect that town with Carnarvon. The Irishmen were duly landed, and were making preparations to commence their work, but the intel ligence soon spread among the Welsh stone-quarriers and others. The navvies were looked upon as a species of in vaders, and the Welshmen instantly assembled to the num ber of upwards of 200, surrounded the Irishmen, and with out a blow being struck, drove them in a mass on board a steamboat. The navvies seeing they had no chance against such overwhelming numbers, quietly submitted, and were landed in a few hours af terwards at thi s port. The Welsh men effected their purpose notwithstanding the remon strance./ of the Bangor magistrates. The expulsion of the Irishmen had the effect of suspending for a time the ezcava tiQU 0f the railyfay. —Liverpool Mercury, TTJtSDAY natarzsz RAILWAYS. Railways. Pitid. Nov Prices. Aberdeen.. ..

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 3,000 to 4,000 bales ' comprising 300 Pernam and Maranham at 714 d. t o 7 3 /4d., 150 Egyptian at 7 1 4 d. to 300 Surat at 4d. to 4 3 A d., and the remainder chiefly Ameri can. The market was in a declining state, and prices of all kinds were 4 lower.--Railway Shares were heavy at lower prices. Senor Don Manuel Payno arrived in London on Sunday, and this afternoon sent to the Chairman of the Committee of Mexican Bondholders the original document executed in their favour for 2,500,000 dolls. out:of the American indemnity money. Senor Payno is instructed by his Government to do the needful for the punctual payment of the next dividend, and for the immediate issue of the new bonds. He contra dicts the rumour of any intention on the part of Mexico to negotiate another loan for 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 dolly., on the security of the revenue of the clergy, and says that up to the date of the departure of the last packet from Vera Cruz neither had such a loan been broached in Congress, nor had the President received any authority to effect, or Senor Payno any instructions to negotiate one. At a meeting of the Committee of Spanish Ameriqm Bond holders, held the 9th May, and specially called for the pur pose of considering the Buenos Ayrean debt, it was resolved unanimously : " That this Committee, considering the period has un doubtedly arrived when the financial situation of Buenos Ayres enables her to resume the payment of the dividends in full on the English lean of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., and to enter into an equitable arrangement for its ar rears ; and also aware that the Government of Buenos Ayres, under its distinguished President, General Rosas, is sincerely desirous to re-establish the financial credit of his country, to fulfil the sacred obligations of national faith, and to do full justice to the British bondholders, hereby appoint David Rr,- bartson, Rag., and Joseph Tasker, Esq., members of their body, to act as a sub-committee in behalf of the Buenos Ayrean bondholders (the former gentleman as chairman), to take such steps as they may think fit and proper to effect a settlement o► the same at the earliest pcssible period, in con junction with, and under - the -guidance of the Messrs. Barings." the letters by the steam-ship America have been delivered this morning. Bills of exchange on London were in request at 10 1 to 10 3 / ,i per cent. premium. Public Securities were drooping. About 7,688,000 dollars had exported from New York this year to the 29th ult., being nearly as much as had arrived from Californio. Upon the subject of the import market it is stated—" The total value of dry goods put upon the market this week is 856,954 dolls., showing a falling off of 200,195 dolls, compared with the week previous. The value of foreign dry goods put upon the market for the week ending the 2d April was 920,813 dolls. ; week ending 9th, 741,928 dolls. ; week ending 16th, 1,057,149 dolls.: total value for four weeks ending April 23d, 3,579,c41 dolls. The importations are not large enough to create much remark, and will probably continue through the season at about the same rate they are now coming in. Prices realised thus far this season have not been at all satsfautory, and large losses must be submitted to on stocks now on hand before the fall trade commences. The raw material for most manufactured articles is likely to be much cheaper than at present, and in that event, goods already in the market will stand a very poor chance of pay ing cost." The Wheat crop in Ohio and New York is spoken of as being particularly promising. The Canada advices notice the opening of the navigation, the merchant-ship Toronto having arrived out at Quebec on the 20th ult. This vessel left Liverpool on the 17th March, some days after the London vessel. Some attention has been excited by the proceedings at the Mansion-house yesterday, in connexion with the discharge of a gang of Dutch thieves, in whose possession a consider able amount of bonds was found. The desirability of an ex tradition treaty between England and Holland is clearly shown by the case in point. The English Funds have been rather flatter, and the set tlement of account is going off without difficulty. Consols have been 97 to 974 for Transfer, and 974 tor the 10th of June. Bank Stock is worth 211, a slight improvement. Exchequer-bills have been quoted 495. to 525. and India Bonds 535. to 545. prem. The New Three-and•a-Quarter per Cents, have been 97% to 98. Foreign Securities have been rather heavy. Spanish Five per Cents. have been marked 19%, an t the Passive 5%, being very firm. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 33%. Brazilian small Stock has realised e 9 to 90. The quotation of Mexican Bonds continues at 35% 14. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 99 to par, and Dutch Four per Cents. 89 %. Danish Bonds are 102 t,5. 2 to 103. lbere is to be a meeting on Thursday of parties interested in the French railways, for which concessions were formerly granted, but which, owing to the political difficuhies among our neighbours, could never be made available. The caution money" remains in the hands of the French Go vernment, and as new parties are tendering to make the lines, it is feared the amount may be confiscated. To come, there fore, to some arrangement in this respect is the object of the parties interested. The Railway Share Market has not been so depressed as during the last day or two, but no sensible improvement can be noted, and the business doing is very contracted. Good traffic returns would soon give a tune to prices. QUAKTAic TO ... 97i ONE CLOSIY.O PRICES OF BRITISEI F UNDS O' CL OCK. PRICES. BALA Stock 3 ,A: - Uent. Redused anns. 3 oer er.nt.

In IS4B, however, another agreement was executed by all the parties except the plaintiff, by which the general estate was made liable to certain mortgages, and the title deeds handed over to the mortgagees.

EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.' THE DUKE Or BUCKINGHAM AND CBANDOS V. THE COlti MISSIONEDS OF INLAN D REVENUE . ---- The LORD CHIEF BARON delivered judgment in this case, which came before the Court on an appeal under the Stamp Act, against the decision of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, who had required thA a stamp to the value of 1,0001. should be placed on a deed of settlement made between the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos and other parties, and bearing date the 2i th of May, 1847. This deed VfR3 in substance a conveyance during the Duke's lifetime of his interest in cer tain large estates, subject to certain mortgages, an nuities, and other charges, for th e purpose of rais ing the sum of 1,500,0001. The Commissioners were of opinion, though no sum was mentioned in the deed, yet that it ought to be stamped with an ad valorem stamp. The Court were now of opinion that the deter mination of the Commissioners was wrong. It was a well established rule in the construction of revenue Acts, that a duty could not be imposed except by the clear and express words of the statute, and the Court considered that the t erms of this particular Act of Parliament did not bear out the construction which the Commissioners had placed on them. There was no purchase or consideration money expresed in the deed, and the transaction could not be treated as a sale. The Curt were satisii,d that the Crown had not made out a right to charge an ad valorem duty on the deed, and there fore judgment must be for the appellant. Judgment for the appellant accordingly. THY VAUXHALL-BRIDGE COMPANY V. SAWYER.—JUDGMENT. The Loiw CHIEF BARON yesterday delivered the judgment of the Court in this cre', which was a special ease directed for the opinion of their Lordships by an order of Mr. Baron Alderson. The question to be determined upon the state of facts set out in the case was, whether the Vauxhall-bridge Company were liable to be rated to the land-tax in respect of the tolls which they collected un their bridge. It appeared that the company were incorporated under the Act of the 49th George 111., c. 142, which gave them the power to pur chase land and to form the approaches to the bridge, and to take tolls tor passengers and goods traffic. The Court were of opinion, however, that the first section of the second Act expressly showed art intention on the part of the Legislature that this de. enption of property should be subject to the tax, and the company must be held liable to pay it in respect of the tolls they collected, as coining under the denomination of an "hereditament." Judgment fur the defendant accordingly. 113 ' t Railways. Paid. Nominal Prices. Business dose to-day. —.---.......

THE SOCIETY OF INTERpRETERS.—IMPoiITANT DECISION. —A Frenchman named Corpin, re-idiog at N. 31, Lisle street, Soho, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for using threatening and abusive language towards Mr. C. Benzoni, 17, Duke-street, St. James's, late secretary to the buctety of Interpreters. Mr . . Fisher, from the office of Mr. Dod, 16, Great Marl borough-street, appesred for the complainant, and stated that this was a summons granted by Mr. Binghsin fur an assault. Complainant had, however, no desire to guess the charge; the object was merely to protect him from the an noyances to which he was frequently subjected. Mr. Ben zoni had been secretary t a society called the Society of In terpreters ; he had exerted hinisslf most successfully in its for mation, and had devoted much time sun great attention to its interests, but owing to the conduct °fee rtain parties Mr.Benzoni had recently resigned the office, his re,ignation had been duly announced, and his solicitor bad, ou his behalf; signified his readiness to render his accounts, which would show the so ciety indebted to him in a small balance. An impression, however, had been created (most erroneously) that Mr. Benzoni was indebted to the society, and in consequence the complainant bad been continually annoyed by th e d e f en d ant and other members, demanding of him in no very courteous terms the return of their subscriptions. Mr. Benzoni had been sued in the County Court by one of the members, anti it had been there decided that he was in no way Barite; but the defendant and others, dissatisfied and nut dilly impresseu with the nun-liability tit complainant, were disposed to in sult him on all occasions. Mr. Fisher said he was desiri , us only That defendant should enter into his own recognizance not to repeat the insult and threat he had been guilty 01. Mr. HARDWICK said he must do so. The defendant said, as far as he was concerned he would ; but there were 85 members who would still insult the com plainant whenever they met him. Mr. HAnnwicx said, if they did the whole 85 must go to prison. It the complainant was indebted to the society there was a proper course to pursue to bring him to au ac count. Mr. Hardwick then bound the defendant over in 40/. to keep the peace for three mouths. filontague Gabriel ACWIOII, a young gentleman residing at 33. Woburn-place, Russell-square, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at Mr. Genese's, 125, Jermyn-street. Mr. Genese stated that about five o'clock this morning the defeodant came into Lis house in a state of .ntoxica don, and c.eated a great noise and disturbance, to the great annoyance of the customers. Witness requested him to leave the house, and on hi.; refusing to do SO, he sent fol. a constable and gave him in charge. The defendant stoutly denied the charge, and could, if time was allowed him, bring forward witnesses to prove that he was quite sober. Lester, 14 C, proved that the defendant was very drunk when he took him in charge. The defendant was tined the usual drunkard's fine of 51. A CAPTAIN IN THE GUARDS COMMITTED TO THE HOUSE or CORREcTioN.—Captain Paulet Henry Somerset, of the Coldstream Guards, was yesterday committed by Mr. Hardwick, the Marlborough-street magistrate, fur ten days to the House of Correction, for having horsewhipped Police constable Griffin, while stationed at the Great Exhibition. The prisoner, who was driving a phaeton and pair, violated the regulations iszaied by the Police Commissieners with re gard to carriages, and when remonstrated with by Griffin, struck the officer several times acros- , the face with his whip, so violently as to draw blood, and then drove off at a rapid pace, but was afterwards stopped. His excuse was that lie bad not been treated -with that civility that a gentleman had a right to expect. The gallant Captain seemed in state of most uncomfortable bewilderment as he was led off to the lock-up cell. FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE NORTH KENT RAIL WAY,— Last night an inquest was held by Mr. Payne, the coroner, at St Thomas's Hospital, on t l e bod y of Robert English, ' aged 2 4 , who met his death from injuries received on the North Ken.

His ROYAL HIGHNESS re pli e d i n t h e f ol l ow i ng terms o , thanking you for the add ress w hi c h you have j ust re ad me, I would also express the sincere gratification with which I witness the opening, in a form most likely to make generally and practically useful, of an institution the progreE of which I have long watched with much interest, and t, 11 . ! want of which has l ong b een f e l t i n th i s country. I re joice in the proof thus afforded of the general and still increasil interest taken in scientifi c pursu i ts; while Science hole,: by the subdivision into th e var i ous and distinct fields o f h er study, aims daily more and m ore at t h e attainment o f use" l and practical results. In this view it is impossible to esti' mate too highly the advan. ages to be derived from an ituiti" rution like this, intended to direct the researches of sciences and to apply their results to the development of the imulen sl mineral riches granted by tie bounty of Providence to our isles and their numerous colonial dependencies. It will akays give me the greatest pleasure to hear of, and, as far as I am able, to contribute to the continued Buccal) of the Museum of Practical Geology." His Royal Highness shortly afterwards left the building and the proceedings terminated. The O'Gorman Mahon paired off with the master of the Rolls against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill.
