But in our times there is visited on wretched capital convicts a " vengeance beyond the law "—after sentence, but prior to execution—more mentally tor tuous, more cruel, more demoralizing in its influence on the world beyond its victims, than ever the brutalizing excesses of the old " Press-room " and the " Question Chamber." This cruel refinement on the demands even of our criminal code consists in the practice—the per mitted, cherished, notorious, heartless practice—of a direct contravening, on the part of the City of London authorities, magisterial and official, of the last solemnlin junction which the majesty of the law, in the person of the judge, addresses to the trembling victim, when it is dismissing, as it were, from its own person, to appear at the tribunal of Eternal Justice itself. " Let me beseech you," is the last human appeal of the ermined dispenser of human justice to the wretched delinquent who trembles before him—convicted—doomed—hopeless—" let me beseech you to employ the few remaining hours allotted to your existence in this world to the duties of penitence and prayer, and making your peace with your offended Gop F' The judge does well—and tenderly—and like a Christian man.

Mr. WATSON, at the request of Sir J. GRAHAM, post poned the second reading of the Roman Catholic Relief Bill to the 28th May. Mr. T.

The Canal Companies Tolls Bill, and the Canal Companies Carriers Bill, were respectively read a se cond time. The Common Law Process Bill was read a first time, and the House adjourned at Six o'Clock. • The only political . intelligence in the Paris pipers is the official announcement in the Moniieur of M. Gutzwr's temporary retirement from office, from indisposition. The following is the r3yal ordonnance to that effect :-- "Considering that M. Guizot, our Minister Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs requires, for his health, some repose, we have ordered, and do order the 'following :—" Count Du chatel, Minister Secretary of State for the Interior, is en trusted, ad interim, with the department of Foreign Affairs. " Given at the Palace of the Tuileries on the 27th of April, 1845. "LOUIS PHILIPPE. —from the solemn communings of your own memory with your own conscience,—from the holy, though mournful associations conjured up by the contemplation of your present desolation and despair in the strong holds of ir.famy and shame with the brighter visions and recollections of your happier home, your youth's fair promise, your once generous and manly purposes ;—but to no secret, though sincere penitential abasement before the Throne of Grace ; to no fitting retirement in which self-examination and humility may mitigate the terrors of that transition which your spirit is so soon about to undergo from this condition of being to an unknown, an awful, an unfathomable hereafter ! No. These self communings, these reminiscences, these incentives to a deep devotion, these stimulants to a faith, full of solace even to the guilty, these tardy but profound prostrations of the soul and the passions before the idealised presence of an offended GOD must be rudely interrupted, broken in upon, dispersed, set aside, and for what? To gratify the inane curiosity ,of a civic functionary;—a Lady Mayoress's cousin, it may be, or her Ladyship's milliner; a roué nobleman, never heard of but when some case of revolting criminality, the exposition of which promises to elicit details calculated to excite his jaded appetite, calls him to—' his duties,' forsooth on the bench ;—or a City sheriff, or his sub;' or a fashionable demirep, halting, in the decline of life between the satiety of luxurious enjoyment and the keener pleasures of an excited appe tite for horrors; or the morbid tastes of that vast section of the community of fools who are always excusing to themselves and others their own prurient tendencies by this trite axiom:--' That it is proper for a man to see everything, however beautiful or detestable, before he dies:" In reference to this circumstance the SiLk says : "If the restoration of M. GUIZOT to health experiences any delay, an attempt will be made to save the Cabinet by intrusting the department of Foreign Affairs, to M. DuctraTEL, who will be succeeded in the Ministry of the In - terior by M. MONTALIVET. The return of the Duke DE BROGLIE to an office which he has twice occupied, and which he would retain as a sort of trust, has been like wise talked of. We cannot believe, however, that M. DE BROGLIE will carry devotion to his friend so far s.s to consent to act a temporary and subaltern part. There would consequently be no other alternative left except the appointment to that department of M. DUCIIXTEL, which_ would be a new progress made in the degrada tion of our policy, or the dissolution of the Cabinet of the 29th of October, which has already too lk.ng en dured for the interest and honour of the country." The journal des Debats, on good authority, gives a different version of the affair:— " We attach no importance to contradicting beforehand the commentaries to which the leave of absence granted by the King to the Minister of Foreign Affairs will no doubt give birth. We merely warn the public that we shall allow the Opposition journals to say what they like. M. Guizot's health has never inspired any serious inquietude. He wants repose, and this repose will be short. The statesman and orator has solicited and obtained from the King a leave of absence, but for the purpose of re-appearing in the tribune with all his strength, and of continuing the struggle which he has sustained so brilliantly for the last five years. In the interim the administration of Foreign Affairs is confided to M. Duchatel, It is the only reply that it was suitable to make to the calumnies of certain journals, which, not having succeeded in overturning the Cabinet, endeavour awkwardly to divide it. M. Duchatel is the political and personal friend of M. Guizot. The ling, in selecting that gentleman to temporarily supply M. Guizot's place, has given an equal mark of confidence to both. We have not a word more to add." M. GUIZOT, it was understood, would leave Paris in a But what the judge does not say the gaoler or the governor of the gaol does. The culprit in his custody, who is doomed " to die on the gallows tree," is a pro perty to him. Pretty women—must it be owned— lovely girls, fresh from the country, join the dowagers, male and female, who besiege " dear Mr. Come," and " dear Mr. Sheriff," and " Reverend Sir," the Ordinary, and all the aristocracy of under-governors, and in spectors, to oblige them with tickets that will admit them to be present at the "condemned sermon." Condemned sermon, indeed ! Let it be, from this day forth, for ever, condemned to eternal desuetude. What is the right—the title—the pretension—that any of these people have, to parade the wretched violator of human law, about to be " launched into eternity," (as a vulgar, but not impartial, nor inexpressive phrase has it—before the curious, distracting gaze of a hundred people, whose ill-regulated " curiosity" would contemplate the exqui site sufferings of impalement with as much serenity as they watch the far more terrible pangs of a despairing criminal, who is made regularly to pass through the farce of a moribund tableau in the last scene but one of the last act of a doomed felon ? Well, it is cruel, per haps ; but let us consider. Can it be no consolation to him, who feels the fatal noose already adjusting itself to his neck, to be spoken to, shaken hands with, confiden tially whispered to, recognised, smiled at, s) mpathetically noticed, by a real, undoubted Sheriff, whose golden chain attests the fact of his attentions to the unhappy felon to all who have eyes for the insignia of shrie valty ? Seriously speaking, these exhibitions have become disgusting. As the Marquis of CLANRICARDE well said on Tuesday evening, they are illegal. But they are more ; and could we hope to express ourselves forcibly enough after Lord Bnovonwat, we would endeavour to follow him in his stern reprobation of that " detestable" pruriency which battens on the last moments, aspects, thoughts, convulsions, terrors of the victims whom Justice has marked for her own. We are well pleased to find that Lord STANLEY manfully admits the illegality and the abuse complained of ; we have no doubt of their speedy removal. They are a disgrace to our age, to our country, to the progress of civilization. But the most revolting passage in the last scene of ROCKER'S recent tragedy is this—that, half an hour before the period assigned for his extinction, that body ef persons appear who designate themselves the " repress n tatives of the press," but who are probably the "rejected ones," called "Pt nny-a-liners"—were " admitted into the chapel-) ard," with sheriffs, under-sheriffs, and gaol governors. At this time the wretched young man was with clasped hands listening to the Ordinary, relapsing ever and anon into fainting fits. In a quarter of an hour more a sheriff comes to the " gentlemen of the press" with a sort of intimation that they may enter the con vict's cell !—that cell, in which he is offering up his last supplications (let us hope, at least) to the ALMIGHTY. In this condemned cell he is informed by the chaplain of Nevvgate that the "gentlemen of the press" are pre sent, anxious to know (and more anxious to record) whether " he has anything further to say for the infor mation of the public." Strange to tell, he takes very little notice of the intruders. But on his attention being again (most improperly and cruelly, as we think,) directed to the fact, that these " gentlemen of the press" were there, the miserable man, startled in the very outpourings, we may suppose, of his overloaded conscience before the minister of that Gospel which he bad reverentially been listening to, ex claimed, " I cannot say anything now, Sir ; I am not sufficiently composed. If I had known that they had been coming here, I might, perhaps." No doubt of it- Arri thus we should have had one more chapter added to those which record the terrible results of that facti tious self-possession, and inordinate vanity, which, being admini-tered to by the minute and incessant attention of these intrusive, übiquitous, reckless, unscrupulous, omni vorous " gentlemen of the press," make so many present victims to the violated laws fearfully insensible to their crimes and to the infamy of their notoriety; and call into a noxious activity so many future followers in their flagitious career. Happily for the body of legitimately occupied " repot ters," (and the sooner they can be per suaded to recognise that designation, only, for their im portant and invaluable calling, the better for themselves and for society,)--they run little risk, from their talent, their character, their pursuits, or their deportment, of being confounded with this " profanum vulgus," which at once panders to and perpetuates the dreary succession of criminal enormities that they live by recording. Great criminals and bad historiographers have become a national curse. It is well that the Government means to abolish so fruitful a hot-bed f)r both as the "con demned sermons" of the Newgate Ordinary. day or tli o for a ♦illa near Passy, and aftervkards pro• ceed to the Vichy Waters in the Bourbonnais. On Monday the Chamber of Deputies assembled in large numbers, in expectation of some personal explanation between the Marquis DE L'ANGLE and M. LEDRII ROLLIN. The Marquis had ou Saturday made an angry speech on duelling, evidently directed against M. _ ROLLIN, in the belief that this writer had alluded to him in an article in the Beforme journal. Explanations of a pacific nature took place, through the influence of M. I)uPIN and M. °DILLON BARROT, and the matter ended to the satisfaction of both parties. The accounts from Switzerland are still unsatisfactory. The Prase says that the situation of affairs in the Canton of Berne was becoming more menacing. A popular assembly hostile to the Government was to have taken place on the 27th, and great apprehensions of a revolution following similar to one lately accom- Taking advantage of " the present state of political tranquillity, and the revival of trade," Lord JOHN Rus- SELL is about to propose certain measures which " may tend permanently to improve the condition of the labouring classes." Such an all-important subject could hardly be introduced at a more fitting season; the pre sent session has already done much to retrieve the errors of the last—Conservatives have thrown aside their Con servatism, and dared to exchange prejudice for prin ciple; while the Opposition has nobly refused to oppose, preferring integrity to interest. Party spirit being thus cast to the winds, all may now cordially unite to pro mote the interests of their common country. Having, to a certain extent, vindicated justice to Ireland, the next act of the House must be one both of justice and humanity they must legislate for the people at large. Aware of the necessity for improve ment, and feeling the deep importance of the subject, Lord J. RUSSELL has not brought forward any single measure, but has proposed for the consideration of the House a series of resolutions, all having for their object the improvement of the great body of the people. In one of the first he declares " that the laws which impose prohibitory duties impair the efficiency of labour, re strict the interchange of commodities, and impose ruin ous taxation." They are few who can conscientiously contradict this assertion—they are yet fewer who dare act in accordance with their convictions. Year after year, session after session, the great question of the corn-laws has been brought forward, argued, de bated, and dismissed, but never finally defeated. It may continue so for years to come ; but of its ultimate decision no one can doubt. This law can never be permanent, for it is opposed to the great prin ciple:; of the country. It is one of the last remnants of the feudal times—one of those laws tending to conserve in the hands of the few the wealth and pow er acquired by the labour of the many. As such it can never be tolerated in England. Does she on e her power and great ness to her proud aristocracy ? What has made the little island of the " painted Britons," the leader of na tions, and the mistress of the seas—not only the first of all civilized countries, but greater even than the mighty empires of antiquity ? plished in the Canton of Vaud. The inhabitants were about tO form themselves-into a national guard for the protection of persons and property. A letter from Schvqtz, of April 23, says:—" Every one here is in the greatest anxiety, as it is generally believed that another expedition of the free corps will take place.

She has found that men are all dependent on each other—not like slaves and tyrants, but by the cordial co-operation of a free people : by this she has acquired the blessin_s of liberty—by this she has learned the power of commerce. What have our Kings and Princes don:, to compare with the deeds of the people themselves? The con quests of our HENRYS and our EDWARDS are forgotten; but the acts of the people are revealed in the nation's gory. The name of ELIZABETR is celebrated, but that of GRESIIAM will be as immortal. It is needless to pursue the subject--all must admit the source of our greatness. Then shou'd the people be neglected in the prosperity they have created ? Should commerce "lie ,in fetters on the soil which gave her birth ?" Should industry be bound down and restricted by those whose power she herself has made? Surely the day is at hand when truth shall be not only felt, but acted upon. Now, at this time, let us hope, a bet;.er feeling is diffused through the land. The poor feel their rights—let the rich perform their duties. The proud noble could no more exist without the bumble la bourer than the lofty summit of an edifice could be sus tained without the foundation ; but the higher the building is raised the deeper must that foundation be depressed, and so it seems with the people. But injus tice cannot last—only truth is eternal. Let us t:ust the motion of the Noble Member for London is but the commencement of a system of legislation not supported by factions, or suited to classes, but based on the broad principle of justice and humanity. Lord J. RUSSELL, by introducing this measure, will find himself in a far nobler situation than any he occupied in the days of power, and the Government, by agreeing with their opponents, will enjoy the greatest satisfaction place and power can offer—the approbation of their country, and the approval of their conscience. On Monday morning last the convicted murderer, THOMAS HocKEa, exfiated his crimes by undergoing the capital penalty of an ignominious death before the debtors' door at New gate. Man y g ood, and wise, and conscientious men have entertained very conflicting opinions on the expediency, or even the lawfulness of such punishments. Believing, as we do, that a rigorous necessity—a vicious principle in the constitution of human society, or an original disparity between the moral and the physical or material forces of all laws for the repressionof crime—render this occasional exercise of this terrible and destroying power indispensable to the internal peace and welfare of all civilised communities, we do not pause to discuss the validity of the scruples and exceptions which are entertained on the subject by infliction of the capit a l peu; l ty others.. This mu c h, a t l east , i s certa i n — t h at w i t h t h e infliction the vengeance of the law is satisfied. After the fatal sentence has been passed, and the criminal is remitted into the hands of the Executive to await his fate, the law , OR thepre sumption that the i n fli ct i on o f that fate is adequa tely guaranteed, demands no supp l ementary suffering, no penultimate torments, to embitt er an d renderstill more agonising the last closing and fast approachit , agony of existence forcibly terminated. It is no: three centuries, wanting ten years, since the legalised practice of torture, which up to that period had been the common precursor of the more merciful, extreme penalty of death, was abolished. And ever since the lawakened spirit and intelligence of humanity have been revolted at the notion of dragging to the block, or carry ing to the gibbet, the mutilated and mangled victims of the rack, the wheel, or the iron boot, whose sufferings appeared to invoke the instant vengeance of heaven We have accounts from Madrid to the 22d inst. The Gazette of that date publishes a decree, by which the Government is authorised to contract a loan of 15,000,000 reels (150,0001.) for roads and canals. No country is so badly off for roads as Spain, and if the Government have only credit to raise the money, much benefit may be produced. "It was only under the reign of FERDINAND V 1.," according to the preamble of this decree, " that the Government bestowed its atten • tion on the opening of roads. Under CHARLES 111. and CHARLES IV. various works of that kind were under taken, but unfortunate events did not admit of their being finished. At the present day, such as are finished, and such as are projected, are far from respond. ing to the wants of commerce and industry ; and, as public order and tranquillity are more and more con solidated, it becomes necessary to adopt means, more direct and more efficient, to supply those wants. It be hoves us to establish a complete system of general roads with which will be connected the provincial and vicinal roads, thus covering the whole peninsula with a vast net of communications." The Chamber of Deputies had passed all the estimates, but unfortunately, though the representatives of the people are very lib-ral with their votes, there is not money to make them good. The ex penses far exceed the revenue. The election Committee appointed to examine the return of Senor CORTENA, for Salamanca, had declared it invalid.

A grand dinner took place at the Tuileries on Saturday on the occasion of the anniversary, of the birth of the Queen, who, on that day, entered her 64th year. M. Guizot was to leave the Hotel of the Ministry for Foreign Affairs onTuesday for the villa of Beausejour, at Passy. About 500 postmasters assembled on Saturday, at Lemar deley's, in the Rue Richelieu, and sent a deputation, com • posed of the masters of Paris, Toulouse, Bordeaux, Stras burg, Lille, Rennes, and Nimes, to wait upon the Minister of Finance. They were immediately received, and were in formed by the Minister that a Bill on the subject of the posts would be presented to the Chamber without delay, and upon which he had consulted various Members of both Chambers, and also M. Jouhaud and M. Dailly. MM. Georges and Elie, Councillors of State of the Re public of Hayti, and M.

The collection which was made some time ago by the sth Legion of the National Guard for the benefit of the poor, amounted to 13,861 f., being a much larger sum than in any former year. The Espectador, a Madrid journal, having announced the marriage of the Young Queen with the Count de Trapani, the Herald° and the Globe deny the truth of the statement, and say that the Madrid Government has not yet taken the ques tion into consideration at all. The fifty-second anniversary of the birth-day of the Em , peror of Austria was celebrated at Vienna on the 19th inst. LAW AND POLICE. A clergyman named liUii;cjivedUsinterim order and protection from Mr. Commissioner Shepherd, in the Court of Bankruptcy. Trencher, an insolvent fishmonger, was remanded for two months, and Farrell, an insolvent tailor, for six months, by the Chief Commissioner. At the Middlesex Sessions a man named Butler appealed against a conviction of Mr. Bond, the magistrate, wlio had fined him 51. for hawking hay without a license. The Court having heard the arguments in this case quashed the con viction, subject to the opinion of the judges. A middle-aged decently dressed man, named Joseph Lin sell, was brought before Mr. Jardine, at Bow -street, charged with having a quantity of plate, jewellery, and other property, supposed to be stolen, in his possession. The prisoner had been stopped by a pawnbroker, who suspected that the articles had been stolen, and had been given into custody. He was remanded to Friday. Mary Wilson, 14 years of age, was finally examined, at Clerkenwell, 'charged by Mrs. Sarah Caroline Edmunds, of "Walcot-place, Lambeth, with stealing 501., some jewellery, and several foreign coins, and was fully committed. At Worship-street, Mr. J. L. Sawell, a surgeon, of Stoke Newington, and William Hawley, were charged with having committed the following assault upon Miss Sarah Taylor, the daughter of a g . entleman residing at North Cottage, Hackney. The prosecutrix and her servant were passing down the - Hackney-road, when they met the two defendants, who, without any provocation, threw two bundles of fire-wood at them, which struck them, and hurt them severely, and when remonstrated with on their conduct, one of them struck the prosecutiix, and they both insulted her. The defendants, wlio pleaded intoxication, were each fined 5L John Macdonald was taken before Mr. Broderip,' at the Thames Police-court, charged with assaulting and wounding George Thompson, who is upwards of 66 years of age. Both parties were inmates of Mile-end New-town workhouse, and a dispute arose between them as to who should be first shaved. They began fighting, and used each other very roughly, until Macdonald threw his adversaay against the edge of an iron bedstead, and broke his ribs. Mr. Simmons, the master of the house, said he was afraid the injuries would be fatal to Thompson. Mr. Broderip remanded the prisoner for a week, and said,. if Thompson continued in the same condition, and was not out of danger, he must remand him again. COURT-FASHIONABLE. Prince George of Cambridge is expected to visit Brighton in the course of the ensuing week to see his regiment, the 17th Lancers, at present stationed in that place. His Excellency the French Ambassador and the Countess de St. Aulaire gave a grand banquet last evening at Man chester House, in honour of the natal day of the King of the French. The Countess of Haddington had an assembly last even• ing, at the Admiralty. The Noble Earl and her Ladyship have issued cards for a grand dinner party on Saturday next. The Lord Chancellor and Lady Lyndhurst have issued invitations for a grand dinner on the 21st of next month, on which occasion her Ladyship is expected to have an assembly. The Cotintess of Listowel has issued cards for a grand ball at Kingston House on the 26th of the ensuing month.

The houses of three farmers, at Lower Ballinacourt, Pallis, county Limerick, were attacked on Friday night, and shots fired over the heads of the inmates by the assailants, who threatened to " finish" them on th. it next visit, for having dared to ask more than a certain price for potatoes. In the same neighbourhood, three boats from Milton, carrying sea weed, were maliciously dtstroyed. The Right Hon. ford John Russell will preside at the anniversary dinner of the Farringdon General Dispensary and Lyingin Hospital, on the 4th of June. On Tuesday morning, at eleven o'clock, the remains of the late Sir George Hoste, C. 8., who was commandant of the Royal Engineers, were removed from his residence at Mill hill, and were met on the Royal Artillery-parade, Woolwich, by the troops of the garrison, consisting of the Ro) al Horse and Foot Artillery, Royal Engineers, and the Royal Marines, who formed up the mournful procession, and proceeded along the road for Charlton churchyard, where the body of the late lamented deceased was to be interred in the family vault. Thousands of individuals assembled to witness this grand, though mournful, military spectacle, and the whole line of road was most densely thronged ; but through the excellent arrangements of the police not the slightest acci- - dent occurred, or confusion prevailed. The whole of the troops assembled were under the command of General Lord Bloom field; G.C.8.; G.C.H., commandant of the garrison. PRIZE FIGHT FOR FIFTY POUNDS.—Tuesday a very gallant fistic encounter took place near the Twyford.station of the Grand Junction Railway. The belligerents were Angelo, of Windsor, and Burton, of Leicester, both heavy weights, and of socond.rate fistic renown. The former was the favourite, because he had trained well, whilst the other could scarcely be got to train at all, .indulging in hearty meals, and a sort of duke far niente, at the Grey Hound, Fulham. In consequence, he entered the arena fat as a Thames porpoise. Notwithstanding his obesity, he fought seventy-four severe rounds in as many minutes, and conquered his opponent in very masterly style. He fought with amazing rapi dity, punished his antagonist severely, and came of ♦ictor with scarcely any bodily marks of injury. SEDUCTION AND SUICIDE —On Tuesday afternoon Mr. Wak'ey, M.P., held an inquest at the Dudley Arms Tavern, Harrow.road, Paddington, on the body of Hannah Darlington, aged 21, a domestic servant. Police-sergeant Alfred Hughes 13 D, said that on Saturday night last, about ten o'clock, he was crossing the Harrow-road.bridge, over the Grand Junction Canal, when he hem' a man and woman quarrelling, he thought, beneath the arch. He went down, and saw deceased run across the towing. path and jump into the middle of the canal, crying out " Now, then, here I go, you Being unable to swim, he sent for the drags, and the body was discovered in about ten minutes. It was taken to the station-house, but efforts at resuscitation proved un successful. He saw nobody with deceased. The mother of de ceased said she had been seduced some time back by a young man who had since deserted her ; that on Thursday last she met the young man, who told her he was going to be married, and witness believed that this led her daughter to destroy herself. Verdict-- " Deceased drowned herself, but in what state of mind there was not evidence enough to show." THE PRISONER CONNOR AND THB RECENT EXECU stox.—Shortly after the body of the culprit Hocker had been cut down, the prisoner Connor was visited by his sister Margaret, with whom he conversed freely upon the subject of the recent execu tion. During the night, being awoke by the noise of the prepara. lions outside, he remarked, " That in a few hours it would be all er with poor Hocker.'' Two persons are appointed to watch him during the night, and one by day. Connor has expressed some surprise at Hocker's spirits having so broken down, at the same time speaking with considerable confidence as to the result of his own trial. On Saturday he was visited by a Catholic priest, with whom he had a long conversation. The mother of the prisoner, after leaving Newgate, was taken seriously ill. She had been in a delicate state for some time, and it is feared that her son's situa tion has accelerated her disorder (a disease of the heart), and that she will survive but a few days. Connor in appearance has consi. derably improved since his incarceration; he has been attended by the medical gentleman of the prison, and the change in his health has been spoken of very thankfully by the prisoner, Mr. Ballan. tine has been retained by Connor, sen., as leading counsel, and Mr. Doane by the Sheriffs, as junior for the defenc... REPORTED RETIREMENT OF LORD LONBDALE. Our readers will probably recollect that, shortly after his Lord. ship's accession to his title, we stated the fact of the Earl of Lons dale having tendered his resignation as Postmaster. General. The Noble Lord was, we believe, only induced to continue in office for a time, upon a representation that by doing so he would conduce to the public service. His secession at this moment, supposing it to take pace, could not, therefore, be attributed to any opinions hemay hold on the Maynooth question ; it would merely be the fulfilment of an intention that his Lordship has entertained for some time.— Post. QUEEN'S VISIT TO IRELAND. —The Dublin Even ing Mail of Mor.day says:—" We repeat i❑ terms the most sin phatical—and we would not venture upon the assertion in such a tone of confidence if we had not more than ordinary grounds for making the statement—that there is no intention on thepart of her Majesty to visit Ireland this summer. It is probable that ere many days elapse an official announcement will be made of a determina tion, on the part of the Queen and Prince Albert, to go up the Rhine, with a view of paying a visit to the family of the illustrious Prince Consort. The month of July is the period likely to be earned for this excursion into Germany, so as to enable Prince Albert to return in time for the grouse shooting in Scotland." DEATH OF THE LION. LADY StNCLAla.—This estimable Lady died at Edinburgh on Tuesday, the 22d instant, at an advanced age, The &ceased latly was eldest daughter of Alexander, first Lord Macdonald, and aunt of the present Lord.

ZOOLOGICAL SOCIETY.—On Tuesday the annual meeting of the members of this society was held at Willis's Rooms, King-street, St, James's, the Earl of Derby, the President, in the chair. The receipts amounted to 11,9971., and the expenditure to 19,999/. Amongst the donors of preserved specimens to the museum were Lord Says and Sele, Colonel Owen, the Norwegian Consul, and the Countess of Mansfield. Her Majesty had pre sented to the menagerie a beautiful Albanian deer, and many valuable animals had been received from Colonel Warrington (con sul.general at Tripoli), Professor Schomberg, Captain Chalmers, the Hon. Miss Hardy, the Hon. Miss Singleton, Captain Richard son, the Hon. William Ashley, kc. The plan recently adopted of exposing the carnivora to the open air, instead of keeping them in dens warmed by artificial heat, had been attended with the best results, there having been a diminution in the number of deaths, and a great improvement in the health of the animals. The report was adopted, after which the officers for the ensuing year were appointed, and the meeting separated. RAILWAY SHARES.

The following are the proposed resolutions respecting the labouring classes of England and Wales, to be moved by Lord John Russell : 1. That the present state of political tranquillity, and the recent revival of trade, afford to this House a favourable opportunity to consider of such measures as may tend per manently to improve the condition of the labouring classes. 2. That those laws which impose duties, usually called pro tective, tend to impair the efficiency of labour, to restrict the free interchange of commodities, and to impose on the people unnecessary taxation. 3. That the present corn-law tends to check improvement in agriculture, produces uncertainty in all farming specula tions, and holds out to the owners and occupiers of land pro spects of special advantage which it fails to secure. 4. That this House will take the said laws into considera tion, with a view to such cautious and deliberate arrange ments as may be most beneficial to all classesof her Majestys subjects. 5. That the freedom of industry would be promoted by a careful revision of the law of parochial settlement which now Prevails in England a nd W al es. 6. That a systematic plan of colonisation would partially relieve those districts of the country where the deficiency of emplovment has been most injurious to the labourers in husbandry. 7. That the improvements made of late years in the edu cation of the people, as well as its more general diffusion, have been seen with satisfaction by this House. 8.

ESSEX AND S UFFOLK RAIL ' WAY.—ENLARGEMENT OF LINE AND CAP ITAL. —We are g lad to le a rn t h at the Directors of this hi g hl y p o p ular p ro j ect have de termined to include Ca vendish an d Clare by a short branch, and in order to be able to do so, and meet any increase in the price of iron, have determined to raise the capital to one million, by issuing in all 40,000 shares, instead of 30,000, as heretofore intended. We should hope this increase will have the further effect of di minishing the dissatisfaction expressed by many, of not getting anything like the number of shares they ap plied for, and still more who have not got any at all. As there does not appear to be a single dis sentient among the owners and occupiers along the whole line, it is natural that there should be a great local demand for shares, and we think the Directors will do wisely to encourage this local de mand by allotting to those who desire to invest fora per manency, rather than to those who wish to speculate in the share market. The 'nowise(' support of the Eastern Counties Railway Company by their very talented en gineer, Mr. Braithwaite, and the success that has at tended their own acting engineer, in his Cambridge and Lincoln line, Mr. Bazalgette, have added much to the public appr ec i at i on o f t hi s pro j e ct. —Essex Herald.

On their arrival, there was no medical man re. sident on the establishment, and Mr. Cooper, the parish surgeon, of Camden street, had to be sent for. He arrived in about ten minutes, and although signs of life were exhibited on his admission, long before the arrival of the surgeon he had expired. The body of the deceased was attired in such a dress as a gentleman would I wear; -but as no money or any article of value was found upon ihis person, it Is not k nown w h e ther he may not ha ve been dru gg ed, , and robbed by same one.

His dress consists of a nearly new suit of black— body.coat, waistcoat, and trousers, a black neckerchief , a n d blucher boots. He had on the little finger of hie left hand a gal. vinic ring, and a paper was found in his pocket, bearing on it " Earl of Pembroke, Carlton•gardens, from scrams." The cause o Ideath has, of course, not been ascertai ned at p resent, and, ' although several persons yesterday attended at the workhouse to view the body, up to last evening it had not been identified.
