The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the Wool lack at Five o'clock. PETITIONS. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from some pace in Som erse t,hire in favour of the Copybold En nchisement Bill. The Esrl of MALMESBURY presented, on the part Of his Noble Friend the Earl of Derby, who was too ill to attend their Lordships' House, several petitions in favour of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, many of which prayed that it might be made more stringent. The Duke of WELLINGTON presented petitions from places in Ireland against the Bill. Earl FITZWILLIAM presented several petitions in favour of the Bill. The Earl of GLENGALL presented several petitions to a similar purport. The Earl of ST. GERMANS presented a petition from Waterford against the Bill. The Marquis of DREADALBANE presented several rtitions from plac.l in S c otland in favour of the Bill. The Duke of RICHMOND presented a petition from the holders of church leases in the county of Durham praying that their interests might be secured in the Bill on church leases before their Lordships' House. TURNPIKE A.CTS ARRANGEMENT BILL. The Itotiseresolv. d itself into Committee on this Bill. The Earl of LANESBOROUGH proposed a clause prohibiting the use of carts drawn by dogs. The Earl of IiAL NIESBURY said that many persons earned their living by means of these carts drawn by slogs, and he should oppose the motion. After ft short conversation, their Lordships divided, w h o a there appeared— Contents ••• •" ••• 27 Non- Contents 56 Majority against the clause ~. —29 The clause was consequently lost. The Bill then passed through Committee. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES BILL. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE rose to move the second reading of this Bill. He must in the outset confess that it was to him a most painful duty to dis charge to have to move the second reading of this Bill. He had for 47 years been a strenuous advocate of the claims of his Roman Catholic follow-countrymen, and had exerted himself in the House and out of the House to procure the acknowledgment of those claims, and it was therefore most painful to him to feel that his duty compelled him to adopt a course, which might be misrepresented into an attempt to deprive of their rights his Roman Catholic fellow , subjects. It was, however, some consolation to him to know that this Bill did not interfere with the practice of religion, or with the civil liberties of his Roman Catholic fellow-subjects. It was occasioned solely by—it was meant solely to meet—an unjust aggression on the part of a foreign Power. (LEFT . SPEAKING.) HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPILLSER took the Chair at Five Minutes to Four o'clock. NEW MEMBER. Mr. THOMAS COLLINS took the oaths and his seat for Knareiborough, in the room of Mr. Mooches, deceased. The Hon.

' Water Company, the Wens and estim a t es o r which were by an ordiT of the 11 ,, use, on the 17th day of June last, re/erred to the said Cummittee, and to re port thereupon to the House. Sir J. GRAHAM said the Committee had already dacided that the parties had no focus standi beture the Committee. Si: DE LACY EVANS said they did not contend that thy had. The inotion was negatived without a division. YE fI rioNs. _ _ _ Mr. BROWN prese-clapettion from the solicitors of Liverpool against the certificate duty.

Mr. MO MATT presented a petition from Falmouth to the same effect. METROPOLITAN SEWERS. Mr. FITZROY wished to know what were the inten tions of Government with regard to the Metropolitan Sewers Commission. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said the Chancellor of the Exchequer would, to-morrow, move for leave to bring in a Rift on the subject. R EGISTRATION OF ASSURANCES BILL. Mr. DISRAELI said an important Bill was expected to come on this evening, which stood second on the paper, but looking at the question that stood before it, there was little hope of its bow , brcught on. Now would it not be better considering the advanced ate of the session, and the opposition the Bin was likely to en counter, to refer it to a Select Committee? Lord J. RUSSELL did not thank so, but he trusted his Right Hon. Friend the Master of the Rolls would be able to proceed with the second reading this evening. NEW BARRACKS IN BIRDCAGE-WALK. Sir DE LACY EVANS asked the Chancellor of the Exchequer whether it was intended to construct addi tional barrack accommodation for another battalion of 'Guards adjoining the Birdcage-walk, St. James's-park. If so, whether it was proposed presentosedtoeun;rauectkth, eorreenqtuirireelyd addition on both sides of 4 the di rection o f jmmes.streec, medico? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHE QUER, who ..w. ti as scarcely audible in consequence o f the noise i n the 'use, was understoid to say that it had been the inten tion of t h e Government to erect new barrac ks Bird cage -walk b ut that that intention had been a b andoned. .7,11A1r m itGATE AND RAMSGA.II; ''''' (-4 FA.TT asked the First Lord of th e Admi ralty why th e to investigat e the revenue, condition, report ot the Select Committee app ointe d an d expenditure o f Ramsgate and Ma rgate H ar b ours, which recommen ded that all dues and tolls now exacted from vessels nut ac tually entering -- "=gate Harbour should wholly cease And determine, had not been carriei into effect; and whether it was the intention ot her Majesty's Ministers to introduce a Bill to Carry out the recommendations of the Select Committee? Sir F. BARING, who from the noise prevailing was indistinctly heard, was understood to reply that he had consulted the law officers in regard to the recommenda tions contained in the repor t of the Committee, and that be found that thrice recommendations could not be le p liy carried into effect'. ALDER VAN SALO MONS' RENEWED ATTEMPT The SPEAKER read to the House a letter which he bad received from Mr. Alderman Selomons directing the Speaker's atten.iun to the proceedings which took pl aces on Friday last, anti intimating that, immediately a f ter he was requested to withdraw, he read a paper to th e clThct that he had taken the oaths according to the forms and caremonies most binding on his consciece, and in compliance with 4 and 5 Vic., chap. 105, and, having done so, demanded to declare his property qualification. The Speaker said he might state to the House, with reference to this letter, that minutes of proceedings had been very carefully prepared. What the Honourable Member stated was P!!'etlY inaudible at that part of the House, bit after the "" v teulf of swearing was gone through the Clerk turned pound to kW, • kthe Speaker), and stated that the UM Member had omitted certain words from the oath, llh then ordered him to withdraw., ttinking that it was his duty to do so.—(Ctleers from the Opposition benches.) The statement of the Hon. Member was made subse -1 quently to his being ordered to withdraw, and therefore Tiould not appear on the minutes of the House.—(Hear.) Sir B. HALL then rose, and addressing the Speaker said—Sir, it may be convenient to put the question 1 which my Right Honourable Friend the Chancellor of the Exchequer, on Friday evening, requested might be repeated this evening when the Noble Lord at the head of the Government was present. It would be in the recollection of the House that before the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Greenwich with drew he occupied a seat where his Honourable Friend the Member for Southwark (Sir W. Moles worth) now sat (the front row below the gang , way on the Ministerial side of the House], and that you repeated your desire that the Hon. Gentleman should withdraw below the bar of the House. It will also be in the recollection of the House that after the Hon. Gentle man had so withdrawn I stated to the House that it was the anxious desire of the Hon. Gentleman to take such steps as mi ght be necessary for c a rrying out not only th 3 wishes of his constituents, but also to take such steps as might enable him to take his seat in this as sembly, and that the Hon. Gentleman did not desire to take any course which might be displeasing or inconvenient to the House, but that he was resolved, so far as lay in his power, to take his seat as a Member of the Legislature. I then asked my Right Hon. Friend whether, as the Hon. Gentleman had certainly taken a seat within the bar of the House—whether, under such circum stances, if the Government may determine or may think he became a menable to the law, they intend to instruct the Attorney-General to prosecute, in order that this question ma y be fairl y brou g ht to an issue; and I intimated that if he did not think he h ad become amenable to the law, or ,that a prosecution would fairly lay, that the Honourable Gentleman would take the still further step of voting as a Member of the House, and thereby render himself per fee:ly a menable to any penalties which the statute dire-cted. The question, therefore, which I put to the Noble Lard at the head of the Government is, whether he iutends, or is prepared to authorise the prosecu Lion, at the instance of the Attorney-General, against the Hon. Member for Greenwich? Lord JOHN RUSSELL—I think the Hon. Baronet is hardly juAiligd is asking me what the Government in tend, or what they do not intend to do upon the question of prosecuting a Member of this 11 , use for taking his seat without taking the oaths. lam ready to say, hoe ever, reserving to the Government the libert) of future action, that at present we are not disposed to think that we ought to prosecute Mr. Alderman Salomons for so doing. Sir B. HALL—I wish now to state the course which I think the Hen. Member for Greenwich ought to pur sue. We are all agreed I think, that so far as the Hon. Gentleman has at present acted, he has acted with perfect fairness towards her Majesty's Go vernment.—(Hear, bear.) He has not condescended to any subterfuge whatever, and in consequence of the answer which the Noble Lord has given to my question, I think the only course which the Hon. Member for Greenwich can pursue is to come within the bar of the House to take his seat in this House at once.—(Hear.) Mr. Alderman SALOMONS then descended from the seat which he had occupied in the front row of the Peers' gallery, and advancing up the floor of the House, took his seat on the front bench below the gangway on the Ministerial side of the House. This proceeding of his was saluted with loud cheers from his supporters, accompanied by demon strations of a contrary nature from his opponents, and at the moment he took the seat the uproar was so great that it was with difficulty that we could hear The SPEAKER, who said, I wish to call the atten tion of the House to the fact, that there is present now a Member who has not taken the oath of abjura tion. I must, therefore, repeat my former request, and desire him at once to withdraw. This was followed by loud cries of " Withdraw," from the Opposition side of the House, accom panied by cheers from the immediate supporters of the Honourable Alderman. In the midst of the uproar Lord John Russell rose and attempted to address the Speaker, but his voice was inaudible, and at the same time Mr. Bernal Osborne rushed forward from the lower end of the House, forcing his way with difficulty through the excited Members who crowded the upper row of benches, bearing a paper in his hand, which he handed to the Speaker, without at tempting to read it, amidst the noise and turmoil. The SPEAKER here said—A motion has been handed to me, but as the question before the House is a question of order it takes precedence of all others.—(Cheers.) Lord J. RUSSELL again rose, but was not able to address the Speaker, owing to the continued tumult which reigned, of which cries of " Withdraw," "Chair," " Order," were the most prominent features. During the whole of this scene Alderman Salomons continued to retain the seat in the body of the House which he had originally occupied, next to Sir W. Molesworth, undis turbed by the cries with which he was assailed. The SPEAKER then said—lf the Hen. Member per sists in refusing to obey my order to withdraw, I must appeal to the House to support me. That order can only be enforced by a vote of the House.—(Cheers, and cries of " Withdraw.") Lord J. RUSSELL then rose. He said—lt seems to me perkctly clear, and it is a matter which I shall not waste any time in discussing, that the House ought to support the Speaker.—(Loud cheers.) I do not believe that the Speaker has authority to enforce his order without a regular vote of the House, and I therekre now move that Mr. Alderman Salmons be ordered to withdra w.—(Ctieers.) Mr. B. OSBORNE—I rise to move an amendment, the purport of which I have already placed in yuur hands. I beg you. Str, to read that amendment. Mr. C. A NSTEY seconded the amp ndment. The bPEAKER then, amid loud crtei, put both the original motion for the withdrawal of Mr. Alderman SAlurnons, and the amendment, which was, that Mr. Alderman S'ilomon* having been duly returned fur the borough of Greenwich, and having taken the usual oa 11—(1•10, no)—in the manner most binding on hit, conscience —(No, no)—is entitled to take his seat in this Howe. The reading of the amendment was followed by a re petition of uproar, which had ceased only when the Speaker had commenced. Loud cries of "Divide, di vide" nlw followed; in the midst of which Mr. Anstey rose, and was saluted with groans and cries of `• Oh, oh." Mr. ANSTEY wished to give the Howe an opportu nity of answeriug the case which he was about to put to them.—(Oh, oh.) It was said that Alderman Salo mons had not taken the oaths pres.cribed'by law; but he insisted that he had, for the oath of abjuration, which it was alleged the Hon. Member had not completed, was not prescribed by law. The Hon. and Learned Member was contit.uing his address, but the uproar was so great that it was impossible to hear what he said. At length, however, he abruptly resumed his seat, moving the ad journmentof the debate. The galleries were accordingly cleared, and the House divided, when there appeared— For the adjournment „, 65 Against it ... ... 257 Majority against it Oa our return to the gallery we totad Alderman Salomons still in his seat, ar.d Mr. M. GIBSON on his legs asking k question. He said he understood the Speaker to eay on Friday last that the Hon. Member for Greenwich must withdraw because he had not taken the oath in the sense in which the House understood ths Act. Now, he wished to ask the Speaker whether he could refer him to any minute of their proceedings, in which would appeer the sense in which the House un derstood the Act. He wished to proceed upon as much information as possible, and he should therefore be glad to know in what form, during the present session of Parliament, the sense of the House had been taken as to its understanding the Act.—(Hear, hear.) The SPEAKER said he made no references whatever to any decision of the House during the present session. He referred to a decision come to by the House last session under precisely similar circumstances. The Baron Lionel De Rothschild was returned for the City of London, and took the oaths in precisely the same way that they have been taken by Mr. David Salomons. The House, upon being made aware of the omisson from the oath, came to the resolution that the Baron Lionel De Rothschild was not entitled to sit, he not having taken the oath of abjuration required by law.—(Cheers.) Mr. M. GIBSON said he was not present then, and therefore he was not aware of that proceeding.—(Oh.) He wished to ask the Speaker whether the resolution of last session, relating to another person, was binding upon them now I ) —(Hear, hear.) He also wished to ask whether the words of the resolu tion pointed out the form of taking the oaths as re quired by law, so as to point to the conclusion that the form in which Alderman Salomons proposed to take them was not the form required by law.—(Hear, hear.) Lord J. RUSSELL rose to order. It was not com petent fur a Member to draw the Speaker into a debate upon what the House had already done.—(clear.) He found by the minutes of their proceedings, that there wasa resolution come to last year that th e Baron Lionel de Rothschild is not entitled to vote in this House or to sit in the House during any debate " until he h as taken the oath of abjuration in the form ap pointed by law. Now the Speaker went upon the au thority of that resolution, and he (Lord John Russell) believed the Speaker had a perfect right to do so. Mr. MILNER GIBSON apoh.gised to the Speaker for b a y i ng troubled bins a second time with the question, but he was not in the House towards the close of last session, and was , therefore, not fully aware o f w h a t th en passed.—( o h I oh!) Mr. ANS fEY then proceeded to address the House, and was received with cries of ke, spoke ;" but he infermed Hon. Members who were interrupting him, that he had not yet sp ken to the original qu rst i un , an d he was allowed to proceed. The question before them, as raised by the Hon. Member for Manchester, related to Alderman Salomons, and not to Baron Rothschild. No decision had yet been come to in the Alderman's case. The House would remember that last year the result of a similar inquiry to this was a resolution, pledging itself to take the matter into its serious consi deration in the then next session of Parliament, but up to this very hour that pledge remained unfulfilled. Only look at the inconsistency they were falling into. They acknowledged Baron Rothschild and Alderman Salomons to be the sitting Members for Lon don and , Greenwich, ,and yet they refused to let them sit.—(Hear, he ar .) The oaths had been taken by the Honour a bl e Member for Greenwich in the form prescribed by the Ist and 2d Victoria. The words which he had omitted were not required to be taken by law.— (Hear, hear.) The A c t o f Parliament to which he re ferred was a declaratory' 'Wind - it p ro - v id.. 3 d t h at i n all THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY cases were oaths were required to be taken they should be administered in the form which the party taking them declared to be most binding on his conscience.— (Hear, hear.) It was with the authority of that act that Alderman Salomons omitted the words "-on the true faith of a Christian ; and he contended that 1 the law fully entitled him to do so.—(Hear, hear.) He considered not that the Hon. Member had not sworn according to the Act of Parliament, but that he had sworn too much.—(Laughter.) Since the death of George 111. the oath of abjuration had ceased to be a lawful oath. It died with the dynasty by which it was enacted, and ought not to be imposed now. Before the . death of George 111. the line of the Stuarts was s t i ll in existence, and therefore at that time the oath had its appropriate mean ing. The oath originated in the reign of William 111., and it was intended to quench for ever the claims which, on the death of James IL abroad, descended on his son. After the abdication of James 11., and during the remainder of his lifetime, the oath of abjuratio n was no t . so much as thought of ; was therefore not directed against James IL, but against his descendants, and as often as the claim descended from father to son, there was a reason for maintaining the oath. Now, however, all claims of the descendants of James the 11. were extinguished by death—the last sur vivor of the Stuart line having died—and consequently there were no grounds for administering such an oath as the oath of abjuration. He therefore advised the Hon. Member for Greenwich to remain in the seat which he had already taken, and t o con ti nue to exerc i se th a t right of voting, which, he was proud to say, he (Mr. Alderman Salomoni.) bad already exercised. By the Bill of Rights any proceeding in Parliament could not be impeached by any court of law out of the House, and though, if the question had been brought under the attention of a court of law, the decision of that court though entitled to the higher consideration, would not have been binding on the House. (LEFT FPEAKUtG.) RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST. The directors of this company have issued their half yearly report to be submitted to the meeting of proprie tors on Thursday next. It states that the amount of capital raised up to the 30th of June, 1851, is 7,175 8171., consisting of 1,522,5874 mortgage debt, 1,037.5961. pre ference capital, and 4 615,6341. consolidated stock. The directors have steadily pursued the policy of declining to take loans, except for a long period, such as 10 years, so as to place the company as far as possible beyond the risk of fluctuations in the money market ; and they have no difficulty in obtaining money for this period at 4 per cent . . The additional capital expended during the past half-year, irrespective of additions to working stock, amounts to 18,4721., of which 9,302/. is for the new ter minus at London-bridge. This work has been completed for about 143,0001., or 7,0001. less than the original esti mate. The works contemplated in the estimate of 7,200,0001. given in October, 1848, have been completed, the liabilities all extinguished (with the exception of about 20,000/. for land claims, &c., owing to legal diffi culties), and the assets all realised with the exception of the remaining surplus lands and other property. The value of the surplus laud may be safely taken at about 57,000/. This would have left about 109.0001. of surplus capital on the estimate of October, 1848, supposing the traffic not to have varied materially from the then figure of 450,4791. per annum. Since that period, however, the gross annual income has increased upwards of 100,0004 of which about 40,0001 has arisen from goods traffic, which has advanced, in less than three years, from au average of 1,2001. to an average of upwards of 2,0001 per week, and the amount of work done has increased in a still larger proportion. The whole amount expended out of capital in providing for the additions called fur by the increased traffic from the end of the year 1848 down to the commencement of 1851 has been only about 28,0001. which still left a margin of about 81,000/. of unexpended capital within the original estimate of 7,200,0004 The time, however, had arrived when the further increase of working stock , &c., could no longer be delayed without serious detriment to the traffic, and 121 vehicles, costing in all 18,8821, have been added to the stock during the past half-year. The passenger-stock is now sufficient for the traffic, and the directors are proceeding to provide for the increase in the goods department. The question of any further sum being required beyond 7 200,000/. will not be raised unless the progressive increase of the traffic should render further accommodation indispensa ble. The gross revenue for the half-year has been 248,6351., showing an increase of 20,0664 over the corresponding half-year of 1850, of which 15 6891. has been in the passenger, and 4,3771. in the goods traffic. The average increase over the corresponding period of 1850, which, during the first four months of the year, had been 8501 per week, has, since the opening of the Exhibition on the Ist of May, been only 4501. per week. The principal results hitherto obtained from the Exhi bition have been the establishment of a cheap and direct route between London and Paris via Newhaven and Dieppe. The influx of passengers attracted by the cheap fares has been so great that it has become neces sary to provide two passages each way daily. On com paring the receipts and expenditure for the half-year ending the 30th of June, 1851, with the corresponding period of 1850, it appears that at the former period the receipts amounted to 241,2041., the expenses to 107,3551., and the miles run to 774,899, and at the latter men tioned period the receipts amounted to 221,1381., the ex penses to 98,6344, and the miles run by the trains, to 580,1 1 40. The principal heads of increase in the ex pensts have arisen from the competition at Hastings, and the increased number of trains run partly to ac commodate the traffic, which since the commencement tithe Exhibition has breu chiefly of a I:,w-pric:d de scription, and partly to extend the tacilities for residence in the vicinity of the line. An iucre ase of about 3,000/. in thelocomotive department is due to the construction of new engines of a lighter description for the traffic of the branch lines. The report alludes to the opening of the Ashford and Hastings line, and to the pro peal made by the directors to the South- Eastern Company with a view to prevent un • necessary competition for the traffic between London and Hastings, which were rejected. It goes on to state that, " The directors notjth d to the south-Eastern Com pany their determination to make no alteration in the existing rates, and to take no step whatever in the way of competition, unless compelled to do so in self-defence; but as the Sou th-Eastern Company, after the first month, increased the number and speed of their trains, and re duced the tares for the 94 miles from London through Ashford to Hastings considerably below their regular fares for the 67 miles from London to Ashford, the di rectors had no alternative but to place additional trains on the line at the same fares. Expense was thus entailed on both companies, and the proceeds of the traffic were diminished; but the result hitherto fully justifies the di rectors in resisting the demand for a concession of half the entire traffic in respect of the circuitous Ashford line, the loss sustained by this company having been much less than that proportion In any event it will be satisfactory to the shareholders to know that their rights at Hastings are so effectually secured that there is no danger of any competition depriving them of their fair share of the traffic. " The opinions of the directors on the question of audit remain unchanged. They are anxious that the pro prietors should on all occasions exercise the ample powers of investigation which they at present possess, like men of business determined to understand their own affairs; but they deprecate all attempts to apply to railways the continental principle of substituting Government boards and Acts of Parliament for individual vigilance and ex ertion—a principle which is scouted in every other branch of English commercial enterprise. " The net amount at the credit of the revenue account for the half-year is 144,5281, whereof is appropriated for interest on the mortgage debt 31,2301., for dividend on pi4erence capital, 27,9071.: together, 59,137 Z Leaving a balance of 85,3914 Out of which the directors re commend a dividend of 11. 16s. per cent. for the half year, atnouating to 83,0814, leaving a balance to the credit of the current half-year of 2,3101. " All shares on which any calls were in arrear have been forfeited and sold, with the exception of 40, on which there.are arrears of calls amounting to 1,4101. These shares will be sold immediately, and the stock and shares account thus finally closed." The auditors' report states that they have by their con tinuous and monthly audit most fully and strictly ex amined the accounts, and they find them correct. The mortgage debt account shows that 551,100/. was borrowed at 5 per cent., 6,000/. at 41 per cent., 196,4274 at 4i per cent., 162,000/. at 4i per cent., 604,5601. at 4 per cent., and 2,5001. at 31 per cent., making together 1,522,5871. The capital account shows that 7,174,4071. had been received, and 7,137,5611. expended, giving credit for 59,1424 surplus land and other property, leaving a balance of 36,8451. The revenue account for the half-year stated that 251,882/. had been received, in cluding 3,247/ from the last account, and that 107,3551. had been expended, leaving a balance of 144,527/. The reserve fund amounts to 26,1121. GRAVEYARDS-PAST AND PRESENT. Hamlet bpoke but the feelings of the human heart when, moralizing in the graveyard, he exclaimed, "Did these bones cost no more in the breeding but to play at loggats with them? Mine ache to think on't." With truth, he complaiaed that the clownish gravedigger "bad no feeling of his business;" and even in the present day there are many who mill cynically ask, " What matters it to the escaped spirit if we be knocked about the mazzard with a sexton's spade,' when the body has ful• filled its office upon earth, and the withered frame has returned to dust?" Many instances may also be cited, in which the great ones of the earth have apparently despised any care fur the disposal of their remains. Plato allowed no larger funeral monument than would contain four heroic verses, and be set aside the most barren ground for sepulture. Pliny derides care for the dead, as a weakness only known to men. Socrates told his friends they might burn or bury his body, if they would not think thereby they had burned or buried Socra tes. Solon desired that his body might be carried to his na tive Salamis, to be burned and scattered to the winds. Diogenes directed that his remains should be ex posed to birds and beasts of prey. Seneca would give DO directions as to the disposal of his body, stating that the necessity of the case would provide fur it. But all these are equivocal; for the very fact of their having given directions respecting their remains evidences a certain anxiety on the subject. Our own bbakbpere exhibits more frankness in the matter in his well-known epitaph:— " Good friend, for Jesus' sake forbeare To digg the dust enclosed here. Blest be the man that spares these stones! And curet be he that moves my bones !" Whatever men may say, they feel a care for the future disposal of their bodies. In the moment of thoughtless revelry and idle jesting they may affirm their indifference ; but it is to no man a pleasing reflection that, perhaps long before the worm has finished his work, the silen c e of the tom b may be invaded by the sextons spade; that even in the grave will competition still be rife, and the remains of his neighbour jostle against his own; that his bones, while still corruptible, may be cast once more into the light of day, to be gnawed by dogs or kicked about by the vulgar. No ! man as he hopes for immortality for his soul desires a decent sepulture of his body. Amid the spasmodic strugglings of this li►e, he looks forward to a freedom from care— to a resting place, where his body may peacefully re pose, and where his friends may let fall the tear of re spect and sympathy. The ancients exhibited peculiar care for the dead, and it is not very creditable to civilization that reverence for the departed appears to have been always greater in ruder ages than in those of luxury and refinement. Egypt is peculiarly distinguished for its monuments, erected in honour of the dead; and the soil around its ancient cities is literally sown with the carefully preserved remains of millions of bodies. Petra, the Edotn of pro phecy, whose existence was unknown for a thousand years, when again discovered, presented on every side tombs and mausoleums of surpassing splendour. Etruria has recently become a region of enlightened curiosity, for its sepulchral vanes and monuments. The funereal structures of ancient Greece and Rome aro yet consulted as models, while the ruder tumuli, which are scattered over the face of the whole earth, show the prevalence of the sentiment in which both originated. Contrast these facts and feelings with the condition of things which the report of the Sanitary Commission and Mr. Walker's researches have brought to light— burial grounds reeking with corruption—burned coffins and mutilated remains—the dead resting in the one apartment of the living while the funds were being raised for intermen t—and the hundred other horrors which investiganlon has nefoided to the world.—Leader. LETTER hem JOHN iviITCHEL. LATEST NEWS F THE EXILES "-SAFE ESCA?E OF M.MANUS. We copy the following from the Freeman's Journal:— • Bothwell, Van Dkerneo's Laud, St. Patriek's Day. 1851. " My dear Gray—Will you do us, felons, a favour? You will see by three newspaiiers which I send you by this post, that the efficial people here, through the Advertiser, which is the 6 government organ,' are trying to deprive us of all respect and consideration by charg ing us with a breach of faith in the mere matter of riding out of our prescribed bounds sometimes—as if we could not as easily leave the island: MOdanus has shown them how easily, the minute he was free of his parole. In short it seems not enough that we are in the power of these gaclers, and subject to every brutal usage they may choose to inflict, but ' as was always yet the trick of their English nation,' they must also blacken and belie their enemies. Therefore, you see they lie like Britons. " I believe the plot to be this—to produce in England the impression that our parole cannot be trusted, and so to procure from London authority for Sir William Deni son to take us into custody and set us to work. And the plot may succeed it no notice be taken of it. Now, the favour you are to do us is, simply to make it known that these fellows do not impeach our good faith without being at least answered. And this you can do by print ing such extracts from these: papers, and making such remarks as you may judge best for the purpose. But for God's sake no appeal adrnisericordiam! " Is it not said that Sir William Denison must be an swered, fur the present, only thus? And is it not a gal lant thing in him to set his newspaper to abuse men who are under his lock and key, that he may do a pleasure to his employers—the British Government and the British nation generous, chivalrous, magnanimous British nation! So now that I have vented my wrath, I feel easier, and am in a good humour. Therefore I must tell you that from many individuals and families of that same British nation, settled in this country, we have re ceived (Martin and I) the kindest and most considerate attentions and hospitalities. Indeed the agreeable society of their houses has rescued us from the abomination of felonious company, or (what would have been our only alternative) the grimmest so litude. lam very grateful to these good people; and whatever may be my horror of the English Government in Ireland, I assure you I don't hate Englishmen, and as for Englishwomen, I love Englishwomen. " You have heard, I am sure, of our way of life here, through the friends of O'Meagher, Martin, &c., for they , keep perpetually writing letters. So I need hardly in dulge in description. Yet here's one tableau for you. Imagine Martin and me, atter a glorious ride of twenty miles through noble old woods, lying on the bank of a fine lake, deep in the central mountains. It is noon day, and so calm the water is hardly rippling on the pebbles, and the wooden banks and promontories, and the endless wilderness of bush stretched away through the smoky district to blue peaks of the north-west, are all sleeping in the sun, and bathed, and beam ing in an atmosphere of gold and purple. A boat nears us slowly by help of both sail and oars; a sun burnt man in a sailor'r jacket stands in the stern sheets, holding the tiller; by his side on crimson cushions, sits a fair and graceful girl. The sun-burnt fellow is O'Meager, and that lady, so fair and graceful is, who do you think? Why Mrs. O'Meagher, you dog. Martin and I spring:into the boat, do our greetings, put the boat's head about, set the sail, for a breeze has sprung up, and skim along under a tri colour flag (you know O'Meagher is great in flags), till we open a quiet bay, at the head of which bay stands a pretty cottage with verandah and a gum-tree jetty stretching into the water. We step ashore, and are welcomed into our friend's newly-buiithouse by his newly wedded wife. They have elegant rooms, books, horses, boats—why it is alniqst like living, I usually feel our condition here to be a kind of syncope or trance, our movements to be soonuinbulatory, and our apparent doings and sayings to be sick men's dreams; but this is absolutely a kind of quasi life. '• Until lately we used to be perpetually going to the lakea—shat Martin, O'Dogherty, O'Meagher, and I —and we had a pleasant enough time of it; but I fear that is almost over now. Sir William Denison will pro bably be provoked into enforcing his regulations, and then, I suppose, we must be content with our bounds. " Are you tired, or will you take another tableau? A cavalcade has been organiz,A to go and see the Oase river—a fine clear, fall, whirling, rushing, deep-eddy ing stream, as large as the Erne or Boyne, and we are returning by moonlight, careering through the lonely woods and frightening the five wits out of the oppos sums, that clamber in a great hurry to the very tops of the trees as we go thundering along, for all the ladies ride like demons. We dismount at a hospitable house. There is a good wood fire, a lively tea-table, a piano, and amongst the songs that while away the even ing we are always sure to hear the "Shan Van Voeht," or " The Wearing of the Green," or the like. The good souls do this to please the exiles; and Martin and I ride home to our little cottage as nearly content as it is possi ble for banished men to be. "For after all, you know the case is bad—much worse than death. And all Irish movements at present are a thing to gnash the teeth over, if that were any com fort. Yet I, duly perpending all these things, have resolved not t> gnash my teeth, but to make the best of this affair, to take care of my health (which is better than it had been for ten years before my kidnapping), to read, to ride, to smoke, yea, to drink, and in all ways to enjoy my death-in-life, in defiance of the very devil. It will be over some day. I shall revisit the breathing world through the horn-gate —that is, round Cape Horn—snd then— " In the mean time I expect Mrs. Mitchel and the chil dren out here very soon. In fact, they may arrive by any tide, and then I mean to farm and feed my sheep, like an Arcadian swain, or Australian squatter, and teach the boys whatever I know—wake them good horsemen, and bring them up in the love and fear of the British constitution. Gray, do you remember the offer you made to me as I stood in the dock waiting for my sen tence? If you forget it, I do not, and, my dear fellow, I never will. _ " Mr. O'Brien is now living in a district near Laun ceston, in the north of the island. I have never seen him since my 'kidnapping, but have had several let ters from him. When he was about to remove from New Norfolk to his new abode, he wrote to us to say, that Bothwell being directly in his way, he would spend a day with us, ride up with us to the lakes the next day (that being also in his way); spend another day there, and go forward with O'Meagher on his journey to Campbelltown. You must know it is usual to let the common prisoners, when they have a pass to go from one district to another, take their own route, and remain days on the way; and M'Manus, when he had a similar journey to make some months ago, did the very same thing which O'Brien pro posed to do. Well, it came to the Governor's ears that we expected the pleasure of this visit; so he made haste to get a written order dispatched to O'Brien, requiring him to pro ceed to his destination by way of Bridgwater and the mail coach road, and not to loiter on the way.' For you know if three rebels should get together they might plot mischief, and danger might arise to the British consti tution. Three rebels! Why it is the precise number that makes a riot. Wherefore Sir William acted with prudence as well as magnanimity. " I sat down merely to ask an editorial favour of you, and here I have written you a long rigmarole. If you like to print any of it, or all of it, do so ; but at any rate do the main thing for us ; don't let these in fernal English papers get up a cry of breach of parole' against us. They have beaten us—could they not now let us alone?—l remain, my dear Gray, very truly yours, " JOHN MITCHELL." " I bethink me that I ought to tell you how it fell out that M'Manus found himself at liberty to make his escape. Ot course when the governor took him into custody, and revoked his ticket of leave,' his parole was at an end, and it wovld require a new ticket of leave and new promise to revive it. Iu O'Dogherty's case, after his month's hard labour, his ticket of-leave was restored, and a new parole required of him. Not so M'Manus: he was not set at liberty again by the Governor, but in spite of the Governor, by the intervention of another power, the ' Supreme Court.' And far from giving him back his ' comparative liberty,' or taking a new prole the go vernor sent him orders at once to report himself at a hiring depot.' But it was too late. M'Manus had a clear day or two, and good friends, a ship was ready to sail, and so he went ofi. Dv, " EGOS AND BACON; oa, SUMMUT LIKE, IT. Wednesday last, a man who attended some cattle from a certain part of this county to the Royal Agricultural Show, in London, was boasting in the market of the wonderful things he had both seen and heard in " the great metropolis of the world." A person standing by inquired what was the greatest wonder he had seen? and he replied, " a place all covered over with glass." The querist inquired the name of the place? The " feelosopher" replied, " I dunna know dezactiy what was the name, but I thinks as how I knows summut like it !" On being further interrogated, he said, " the nearest name like it I can recollect is eggs and bacon l" On being asked if he did not mean "the Exhibition," he replied, " egad, thee halt hit on't ; thee beest a schollard, and I be 110116, w and this io how theo'ot got the vautege!" — rreford ra EVENING, JULY 21, NEW ORDER IN CHANCERY The following order of Court was issued on Sa turday " The Right Hon.

AT PLYMOTJTIT.—At three o'clock this afternoon (Thursday) information was received at the police-station of a Peruvian, named Frederick de Bezon, having murdered an old naval pensioner, named Cos tello, a shoemaker. It appeared that the deceased last night had been out drinkirg, and his home being in Devonport, he repaired to Stillman-street, where the prisoner was residing. He attempted to get in, but was unable. He afterwards went away, and returned about one o'clock this afternoon, when he again presented himself at the house in a state of intoxication. He was desired to leave, but refused. and the prisoner, who was sober, wen' down to him to put him out forcibly. Sill refusing to leave, he took hold of him by the shoulders, and knocked him down in the middle of the street —his head coming with great violence to the paving -stones. He lay senseless for a few minutes on the ground, and was afterwards t .ken into the house, when he was found to be dead. The prisoner has been in the town only a few weeks, and appears to be on tramp. He was immediately taken into custody and conveyed to the station-house, where he now awaits the verdict of a coroner's inquest. The poor old man is above 60 years of age, and wile well known in the ClighOlukcod, THE C()TINTRY MARKETS. MANcirESTF.R, JULY 19.—1 n the early part of the week the weather continued showery and unsettled, but has subse quent:s been dry, ai.d, althou;_h cool, of a more favourable character. The trade throughout that period has ruled ex tremely languid, the demand for all articles being on the merest retail scale, with a view to present consumption only, but in prices no change was observable. Beyond a moderate quantity of oats from Ireland, the imports thence and coast wise into Liverpool and Runcorn are again exceedingly light, but from abroad liberal supplies of wheat, barley, Indian corn, and flour are reported. At our market this morning a very lifeless feeling prevailed, anti the few transactions which OP. curred in wheat and flour were at rates somewhat in favour of buyers. Oats met a slow sale at the previous currency, but oatmeal continuing very scarce, found purchasers to a moderate extent without alteration ir, value On Thursday at Sudbury good samples of wheat maintained late rates, but the supply was so large that inferior samples rather gave way. At Hadleigh business was active at former quotations. At Bury the millers bought very sparingly, an d only the best samples. beans and peas were cheaper. At Woodbridge the supply was scanty, and was taken off by the merchants and millers at late rates. On Thursday at Stow warket the wheat trade was unaltered. Fine samples of beans fetched 3?s per qr. NOTTINGHAM, JCLY 19.—The cola rain which has fallen in heavy show, rs every day for more than a week past has materially retarded the ripening of grain; and harvest now ar pears likely to be later by ten or twelve dais than was anti cipated a torinight ago. Wheat in districts favourable to quick ripening when rain ceases will be all the heavier for the extra moisture, and in this neighbourhood at least there is every appearance of a crop and a half, taking the yield of O rain r:- rage seasons. Barley still looks thin in places, the falling at too late a period to remedy the effect caused by de; ficiency of early moisture. Beaus, peas, &c., lock well, and seem likely to be comparatively as abundan t in y ield as wheat. Potatoes are plentiful and cheap. with ne s i g ns of disease in any quarter. Much hat . is spoiling in the backward districts for want O f a, period of dry weather suhiciently protracted to enable farmers to stack it, but great quantities of earlier hay have been got in in p, ime condition. The pas tures and gre!u crops of all kinds yield an abundance of food fo r cattle. The supply of fresh wheat was again sr,uall, and the milers were very cautions, buying for their immediate wants, equal to last week. Grinding barley was very dull sale, with prices looking downwar lB.—Grain—Oats 21s Od to 2:5 40Ibs pet bushel; oats (seed), Ms Od to 01s Ocl, 401bs per bushel' barley, 23s ed to 2.is Od. 521bs per bushel ; bear, 2350 d to 2 Od, 521bs per bushel; wheat ttOe to 425; oatmeal, 17s 6dto 18s bel, per boll ; flour, 30s to 32s per sack.

In reign wheat scarce any bus ness has been done, while the te - : el ' id price: deocy of prices is decidedly downward. Oats have undergo% a further decline of 6d per barrel, and even at this reductiO would be difficult. to effect sales, the large arrivals in London ing had a very depressing effect on the article. The trade in Sour is exceedingly dull, and it is impossible to effect sales , W e ' . where the immediate wants of the' bakers compel them to be' came purchasers. The business p;ssing in Indian corn vert restricted, and, though there is boa actual decline in the articlet yet, if purchasers came forward, lower prices would, we lieve, be submitted to. Barrels.
