New ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post Bvo., 0 0 D. A NOVEL. " The anther, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. Re is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays an matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Mae • ea, and Smythes."—Observer. Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed &lf beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great go. - 4 taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaeng novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racte.r of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have Oven above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tale are flerencei Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry ; and Julia /Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

In the House of Lords last night, A conversation took place on the subject of the Mini sterial measure of Chancery reform, in the course of which both Lord LYNDHURST and Lord BitouGruss protested against any attempt being' made to deprive the Lord Chancellor of any portion of his ecclesiastical patronage. In the Commons, Mr. HENRY BERKELEY gave notice that, after Easter, he should propose a resolution affirming the propriety of affording to voters the protection of the ballot. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply on the Army Estimates, Mr. ilinlE moved that no further supplies be granted until after the financial statement shall have been made, but ultimately withdrew his motion, on receiving the assurance of the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER that the financial statement should positively be made on Friday. On the first vote of 3,521,0701. for tho charge of the land forces, Mr. HUME moved a reduction to a sum of 2,000,000/. on account. This amendment was negatived by a ma jority of 144, the numbers being, for the amendment, 31; against it, 175. AnOther amendment, proposed by Mr. W. WILLIAMS, to reduce the vote by a sum of 81,1521., was negatived by a majority of 54 to 18, and the vote was agreed to. The remaining ♦otes for the Staff, the Public Depart ments, the Royal Military College, and the remainder of the effective services, were agreed to without a division. Colonel Arrsott then brought forward the Ordnance Estimates. He stated thst the gross total of the votes he intended to ask for presented but a trifling diminution of 22,5201. on the amount required last year. As compared with 1848, however, the saving that had been effected was not less than 580,0001. Pass ing in review the various items of expenditure upon the personnel of the ordnance force, barrack supplies, commissariat, officers, artillery, small arms, buildings, surveys, &c., Colonel ANSON explained the alterations that were exhibited in the balance sheet of the present year. The charge for works and buildings presented the only formidable increase, namely 30,0001., arising from an occasional expenditure, amounting to 64,0001., for new erections at different barrack establishments, more than half of which was counterbalanced by re trenchments accomplished elsewhere. Upon the non effective services a trifling saving had also been realized; and the total result offered the reduction he had men tioned below the rates of last session. The several votes were then separately proposed, and agreed to after a short discussion, and the House re sumed. Mr. BOOKER moved for:returns ofjamounts levied under the various income-tax schedules, for the purpose of ascertaining the proportions of the various incomes arising from real property and from industrial property, and the fluctuations in the latter. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER opposed the motion, as it would involve disclosures of private busi ness. The motion was withdrawn, and the House adjourned, According to promise, Lord TORRINGTON will this evening bring the inquiry into his conduct as Go vernor of Ceylon under the consideration of the Legislature. It behoves the Parliament consequently, in an affair of such extraordinary importance, that the statements of the Noble Viscount may be viewed in every way dispassionately. Justice demands this not only on behalf of his ex-Excellency, but also in fur therance of the highest and noblest interests of our Colonial Government. The journalist may therefore be permitted to suggest the propriety of banishing, as much as possible, from remembrance whatever has already been said i❑ reference to the proceedings of the accused administrator—just as the counsel beseeches a jury to dismiss from their minds all that may have been uttered outside the court to the detriment of the prisoner's character. Judg ment should, of course, be pronounced solely and entirely from the facts submitted upon both sides in evidence, and not allow itself to be influenced in the minutest particular by the declamation of partisans or antagonists. More especially we must insist upon the necessity of securing ourselves from being affected either by prejudice or predilection when we take into account the blunders which have been fallen into regarding the question from a hasty or petulant discussion of its merits. Within the last few days a pamphlet of a rather remarkable kind has been pub lished, consisting of a series of glaring exposures of the misstatements made in a well-known article in the December number of the Quarterly.* These misstatements have been taken by the pamphleteer seriatim, and been refuted by point blank contradictions. Whereas, for example, the reviewer asserts that Ceylon is governed by one council, the reviewer of the reviewer reminds the public at large that Ceylon is, on the contrary, go verned by two councils, the Executive and the Legis lative. According to the Quarterly, the established religion of the Cingalese is that of BUDDUU, the author of the brochure before us avers that the people of the island have no established religion whatever. Similarly striking errors are enumerated and contra dicted by the pamphleteer, the number of them amount ing to no less than eight-and-twenty altogether. Among these the purport of the report by Sir EMERSON TENNENT, as Colonial Secretary of Ceylon, appears to have been misapprehended and its very language to have been misquoted by the Quar terly Reviewer. Consequently, if such gross fallacies are allowed to have crept into the elaborately di gested argument of one amongst the principal de claimers against the policy of Lord TORRINGTON, it must be acknowledged as only reasonable, under the circumstances, that the utmost caution should be shown in estimating the rights of the matter at issue by any other light than that afforded by the evidence formally laid before both Houses of the Imperial Par liament. Let it not be forgotten how, upwards of half a century ago, the evil passions of the multitude were called into lamentable operation during the trial of one of the great proconsuls of our Eastern empire. Let it not be forgotten 'how England discovered, in the end, that she had permitted her judgment to be warped by her passion, and had visited her wrath with needless severities of contumely upon the head of an admi nistrator, who, though guilty to a considerable ex tent, was guilty only from the excess of his pa. triotism, and from the loftiness of his ambition to aggrandize the glory, and the power, and the influ ence, and the riches of Great Britain. Not, be it observed, that we would for a moment attempt to institute any comparison whatever between the past aekthe present inquiries ; not that we would venture to contrast the splendid genius of WARREN HASTINGS with the mediocre ability of Lord TORRINGTON, or attach to the cause of the one any needless association with that of the' other, so as to invest the ex-Governor of Ceylon with the interest cast around by the f ame of the great e x -G overnor of Hindostan . All that we would intimate by the reminiscence is the possi bility of our falling n ) blun der already committ e d i n the instance of the distin guished and enterpraisgianigsatas t a es n m a a t n ion w , hionsteo incontes tabletlie merits have bee n eu l og i sed in strains of such burning a n d abounding l' e the nation could permit its e lf t o b e carriedlPoiciAueeAnaUcwLeAa.ty inlf the instance of HASTINGS by an excessive a n d exa g " gerated indignation, it may, un l ess d ue precaution be taken, fall into the same error i n re f erence to Ton RINGTON. Therefore, to say the very least of it, w e maintain that it is advisable for us to display some sort of leniency in our consideration of the conduct of the latter, and not wander into unnecessary extra vagance by giving too ready credence to his as. gallants. Hitherto upon the scantiest evidence, the ex- Governor of Ceylon has been dealt with by the majority as though he had already been convicted upon every charge, and pronounced guilty after the raaturest consideration. It should assuredly be borne in mind, that we cherish amongst us a benign and wholesome maxim, that every man, until shown to be the contrary, should be regarded as innocent. Under ord inary circumstances the propriety of so treating the accused is everywhere recognised. More parti- --- .*.

Such they must assuredly be pronounced in the instance of Viscount TORRINGTON, an instance in which the re presentative of her Britannic MAJESTY is openly ac cused, among other things, of the high and terrible crime of MURDER. Precipitation or prejudice upon a matter of such extreme importance would, conse quently, be not only rash to the last degree, but cul pable beyond all conceivable extenuation. It is for reasons like this that we are insisting upon the neces sity of the Legislature taking the difficulties of the Ceylon Question into account with the utmost pos sible equanimity, having first relieved itself, as far as is practicable, from the pressure of antipathies derived merely from sources of misrepresentation. As yet, we must confess, but one circumstance on the part of Lord TORRINGTON has tended in any way to propitiate the favourable opinion of the English multitude. That circumstance, however, is of a kind calculated to influence the nation most beneficially in his regard—we mean the gallantry with which he himself has come forward to demand from the Legislature of his country a speedy and searching investigation. So far the matter looks well as affecting his individual re putation. So far, therefore, it must be acknowledged that he has acted prudently as well as courageously. Gladly will the people of the United King dom recognise in the facts brought to light by the inquiry that in all other respects be has acted in a manner no less deserving of commendation. For the character of England (as well as the personal repute of Lord TORRINGTON) is implicated in the question about to be scrutinized. 'We must continue sanguine, therefore, that the fears entertained by so many may not be realised in any particular, and that the accused nobleman may prove to be as blameless as his accusers will then be repre hensible—the verdict of the highest tribunal in the land bringing his name forth purified from the charge of bloodguiltiness, and leaving the names of his as sailants to universal opprobrium as that of the most wanton and the most dastardly of calumniators. The next advices from the seat of war in Southern Africa are looked forward to with a considerable amount of interest, not altogether free from a certain degree of apprehension. The sudden outbreak of the Kafir tribes, evincing a concerted hostility on the part of the various clans against the whites, has taken the entire colony by surprise. Sir HARRY SSSITM, after effecting a perilous escape throagh th• forces of the insurgents, was yet, according to the last accounts, in a situation of difficulty and danger, all direct commu nication with the colony being intercepted. He has but a mere handful of regular troops at his disposal, and were his enemies as well disciplined as they are pugnacious, the result might be awaited with consi derable alarm. Another element, too, of discomfort exists in the notorious lukewarn►ness, or more pro perly speaking, disaffection towards the Government, both on the part of the colonists of Dutch descent and the coloured population ; although we are un willing to bring ourselves to believe that so unfortu nate a spirit pervades the ranks of the military who are recruited from the latter class. If the first fury of the torrent be stemmed, there is not much fear but that the victor of Aliwal will vindicate the supremacy of the British arms, unless there be the foulest treachery found among those on whose support he should justly reckon. There is no question but that he had been outwitted by the stealthy duplicity of the Kafir% and lulled into a most untoward security; but if, as we sincerely trust we shall hear within a very brief period, he should get his forces well in hand, and give those treacherous barbarians a salutary chastise ment, it is to be hoped that the advantages may be properly followed up. Sir HARRY has sufficient ex perience of the nature of antagonists of this calibre to know that when the arm is raised against them it ought to descend on their heads with vigorous severity. There is no argument so thoroughly convincing to a savage enemy as a sound thrashing, followed by condign punishment. GOD forbid that we should for a moment advocate anything like cold-blooded cruelty, or indiscriminate massacre, but those gentle men require a regular " cow-hiding," and we could wish that a few squadrons of Texan dare-devils could be magically imported for the nonce, who would administer it in sharp and decisive fashion. In cases such as these forbearance is an absurdity, and lenity a blunder. They are attributed solely to weakness, and the generous treatment of a conquered foe, which is so congenial to the British mind, is sure to prove but an incite ment to renewed transgressions whenever a tempting opportunity may arise. When the present brush is over, and the Kafir chiefs " made to eat con siderable dirt," any the slightest violation of the con fines of our territory should be visited with signal severity. They have ample space in the interior wherein to expatiate, and must be taught that if they sow the wind they will indubitably reap the whirl wind. Meantime, it may not be uninteresting to some at least among our readers to explain in a few words ;.he state of the relations existing between the colony and these fierce marauders prior to the recent out break. When Great Britain obtained possession of the Cape, the Kafirs were removed beyond the Great Fish River, in order to put an end to perpetual feuds between them and the Boers, somewhat akin to our own border-warfare of old. A treaty was shortly after made with them, but under this grave mistake, that the chief of one of their tribes (who all hold themselves fully coequal and independent of one another) was treated with as if he were the monarch of the nation. Against this favoured personage, named GAnee, the ire of the other chieftains was quickly displayed, and he suffered a defeat at their hands which we, as his allies, avenged by an extensive " razzia." But, after a little breathing time, the con federated tribes burst in upon the colony, and gave us a considerable amount of trouble to repulse them. They, however, submitted in semblance, and matters went peaceably on for a length of time, our frontier being strengthened by a good slice of the territory of our ally GAIN, and by the plant ing of a number of British emigrants in the district called Albany, verging on the Great Fish River. GAIxA died, leaving as heir his son SANDILLI; but during the minority of the latter, the Regency, if we may use the word, was exercised by MACOMO, an elder son of GAIKA, by another of his wives. MA como appears to have been dislodged from his abode more than once, the English Government, notwith standing the subsisting alliance, probably regarding him as a neighbour likely one day to prove inconve nient; at all events, he and his people were expelled, though without violence, first from the Kat River Valley in 1829, and again . from the spot of their adoption on the Chusine, about four years after. These peremptory proceedings sunk deep into the mind of the Kafir Chieftain, and the end of the year '34 was signalised by an irruption of his forces, aided by those of other malcontents, which wrought a great amount of mischief before their operations could be checked. After several months' hostilities, mandod by Sir H ARRY the English troops bein g com SMITH, peace was made, an d th e (en Kafirs Ives to allegiance to the Cr own land. Unfortunately, the tr ea ty a nd laws of Eng did not receive the ratification of the t h en c oncluded themse Government,who restored a province which had been ceded to us by the natives, and directed other arrangements to be carried into effect, which Hometh Colonel)bound the Kafirs re garded merely as symptoms of timidity and alarm on t he part of their conquerors. SANDILLx, on becoming of IV, assumed the headship of his cl an , f rom w hich it may be remembered he was in the p as t year d e posed by the Governor. The Kafir inv as i on o f 18 46 is memorable for the two millions expenditure on the war, which, after a pro tracted struggle, ended in literally nothing. And now, emboldened by the non-adoption on our part of an iron policy, which would make them dread, not alone the roar, but the well-felt fangs of the British lion, these restless sons of the desert have once more raised the cry of war. Common prudence now de mands that any future depredations on the colonists be prevented by a punishment for their recent mis conduct, so stern and crushing, that whatever capa bility of mischief may possibly be left them, their spirit of audacity be thor oug hl y subdued and broken, and the utter hopelessness of outraging successfully the Imperial authority be imprinted on their con viction in unmistakeable and indelible characters. The Countess Spencer, who has been suffering lately from eery delicate lualtb, is rather better. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS, CITY. TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 300 American and 700 Surat were taken on speculation. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham at 7 4d. to 8 1 / I d., 500 Bahia 7 3 4 d. to Bd., 100 Egyptian at 74d. to 9d., 1,000 Surat at 4 1 ,0. to 51 / yd., and 100 Sea Island at ls. 3d. to Is. 11d. per lb. The market was tame at previous rates.—Railway Shares were extremely dull and heavy, and prices of all kinds were lower. Messrs. M'Nair, Greenhow, and Irving, of Manchester, re port of the piece-goods market as follows :—" March, which is generally looked forward to in this district as a period when great activity ought to prevail, has this year certainly failed in sustaining its ordinary reputation. Much akin to the changes connected with the seasons, the old land marks, in a business point of view, would appear to be passing away. Great social and commercial changes in thia_country, in the abstract, readily and easily account for this, The improved feeling indicated in our last circular was but of momentary duration. With the supplies which had been then secured a gradual cessation of operations, consequent upon the de clining state of the Cotton market, immediately took place, acquiring greater force and con fi rma ti on , an d accom panied with a material fall in the value of both goods and yarns, until about the middle of the month, when intelli gence from the United States, indicating a rise in Cotton, had the effect of causing considerable transactions to be entered into in yarns and goods for Germany, Italy, India, China, and some other Eastern as well as South American and West Indian markets. The accounts by the last Over • land Mail, being also ot a more satisfactory character, tended to increase operations, and to impart greater confidence to the market generally. The consequence has been the reco very of the decline in prices which had previously taken place, and the rates now ruling are much about what they were about a month ago, if certain descriptions be excepted." From the" Statistics of Lowell Manuf•ctures," we gather the following facts :—There are twelve corporations of dif ferent kinds which have fifty mills; the united capital is 13,362,400 dolls.; they have 325,500 spindles; 9,906 looms, and employ 8,274 females, and about 3,000 males, and con sume 575,400 pounds of cotton, and 69,000 pounds of wool per week. The average wages of females, clear of board, per week is 2 dolls., and that of males 4 dolls. 80 cents. There are ether manufactures in the same place than those specified above ot a value of 1,500,000 dolls., employing a capital of 4C0,000 dolls., and about 1,500 hands. We are now entering upon a month in which there is, cus tomarily, a good deal of buoyancy, and extensive prepara tion for active trading hereafter. The money market, too. upon the payment of from 6 to 7 millions sterling in dividends upon English Government Stocks, besides other secu rities, is likely, in the absence of extraneous and adverse circumstances, to become still easier than at present, while the actual wealth of the coun try is increased by steady arrivals of specie ; the merchant ships daily arriving from distant parts bring amounts which although small in themselves, make a large sum in the ag gregate. From New York, according to the estimates of some persons, three or four millions sterling will reach us this year, chiefly the gold of California, as the balance of trade at present is in our favour. At the same time due reservation should be made, and we should not omit the consideration that much depends on the harvest, for even if we receive the money, it would speedily leave us, should we require a great additional supply of food. The English Stock Market has been very firm, and there has been a slight increase of business Console have been marked 96% % for Transfer, and 96 1 A % for Account.

KINGSTON, TUESDAY. —The Court sat at half-past eight o'clock this morning. -The approver, Hiram Smith, was placed in the box usually assigned to the superintendent of police before any other persons were admitted, and retained his place during the preliminary proceedings. Baron Parke took his seat, and the first witness called was George Bennett, a waggoner. His waggon was near Kingston on Saturday, 28th September. He knew the man Hiram Smith. On that day he rode in the waggon from the Crown and Anchor at Lay Ditton to Guildford. Harriet tt eabrook said her husband kept the Swan beer shop at Guildford, where Levi Harwood lo.tged. On Mon day, September 27, he left her house between four and five o'clock. He was dressed in a cold-jacket. She had not seen him in that cord-jacket since. He was not at home on that night. She saw him again on Saturday night i ear eight o'clock. Shortly after be came home Jones same and spoke to him. He did not come in doors. When he came back he had not got his eord•jacket on. She said to him, " Have you been i❑ a row and lost your cord-jacket— have you slipped your shuck ?" • (Laughter.) He said nothing to that. He had some beer and went to bed about nine o'clock. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—She noticed that he had got a cord-jacket on because she had known him for a long time. Her house had been licensed. The magistrates took it away, but she did not know why. Benjamin Downs, a coal-porter, lived at the Wheatsheaf, Guildford. It was his duty to look after the house at night and lock up the doors. Jones and Smith lodged there in the September. He did not see them at all on the Friday. On returning from work on Saturday evening, he saw them at home, that was about six or seven o'clock. They returned home after him. Cross•examined by Mr. CHARNOCK — Somebody else might have come down and let the men in, but it was not likely. He was sentenced to twelve months about seven years ago, for realing a piece of pork. He had never been accused of burglary. He was taken up for stealing a truss of straw and tried, but he was acquitted. Caroline Bulpin, the village schoolmistress at Frimley, ex amined by Mr.BALLANTINE—She recollected, on the Monday previous to the 27th of September, one of the school girls gave her a penny token (the ci.e. found on the prisoner was handed to the witness and identified by her). When she gave it to Mrs. Holiest, that lady made a remark upon it in her presence to Mr. Holiest, that the nose of the king had been badly treated. Mr. Dunlop was called into the box and produced a plan which he had made of Frimley. Baron PARKE, looking at it, said it was quite useless. It was so large as to be unmanageable. If the surveyor had made it about a quarter the size it would have been of service to the Court. Mr. Edward Kendall said he went to Mr. Hollest's house soon after the burglary became known. He described the manner in which an entrance had been effected into the house. He was afterwards joined by Hollington and Bid dlecombe, two local officers. On examining the door steps he traced the marks of a naked foot. A few yards from that there were the marks of two naked right feet. He found a piece of baize under the tree in front of the house. Near the gate there was a mark as though some one with a naked heel had slipped. There was a mark of blood. He after wards examined Levi Harwood's great toe, which was very much lacerated on the under part. On the 6th of October he went into the plantation opposite, and picked up a cloak. The cloak was found midway between two masks. A little further on he found two pieces of green baize. A worm-bit was shown to him by Mr. Holiest, and he believed the holes which were made in the scullery window, and by which the burglars effected their entrance, were produced by it. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLArmwx-f-He believed that Biddlecombe and the village constables had visited the house before his arrival. Witness was a metropolitan officer, and was sent down specially by the Commissioners of Police. Baron PARNE—Did you trace any' marks of blood in the inside of the house—from the bed-room door to the front door? Inspector Kendall-No, I did not. Mr. W. B. Holiest, solicitor of Farnham, brother of the Rev. Gentlemen deceased, produced a Communion cup be longing to his brother, two masks, a worm-bit, and other articles, which he had received from different persons who had found them in different parts. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINE—He thought there was an application on the part of the prisoners to have pro fessional assistance, and that they were refused. He was there each time himself, to a certain extent as a solicitor in the matter, bat he believed the prisoners had no one present. He believed that when one of the prisoners was committed to Farnham, Mr. Neale, the solicitor, made an application to the governor of the gaol to communicate with him. Wit ness was appealed to, and he told the governor that h e thought it was his duty to iefuse the application. He would not undertake to say that the magistrates had deter mined to commit without allowing any professional adviser. Mr. CHaumocx—Were not the reporters excluded? Mr Holiest—l believe they were on one or two occasions. Mr CHARNOCK - Were they not excluded on every occa sion ? Mr. Holiest—l think they were present on some oc. casion9. Baron PARKE I think you cannot raise an objection on that account. Mr. CHARNOCX—Very well; then I will not press it. Mr. Hollington, the superintendent of the Surrey police, described the capture of Hiram Smith, Levi Harwood, and Jones, on the Sunday evening after the burglary. Hiram Smith made a voluntary confession to him of his participa tion in the burglary, in the presence of Mr. Neale, the governor of Guildford Gaol. That confession was in the following terms : [The written confession of Hiram Smith, which has al ready been frequently published, and which does not differ materially from the evidence given by Smith yesterday, was then put in and read.] Mr. Hollington continued. Upon Jones he found a knife, a piece of sealing-wax, and a token penny. On Sunday night and Monday he searched Levi Harwood's lodgings. He found a pair of stockings, the foot of one of them was marked with blood, and a stoney marble. (The marble was produced, and was rather larger than that which was taken from Mr. Holiest.) Louisa Hollington, wife of the police officer, said she re collected Levi and Samuel Harwood being in the cells at Guildford on the 2d of October. There was a room between the two cells. She was in the kitchen, and could there hear a conversation better than the prisoners could themselves. She heard a conversation between I d evi and Samuel Har wood. Levi called out " Tidier." Salliuel answered, " Who is that ?" Levi said," Me." Samuel said," Is it honey ?" Levi said, " Yes " Samuel said, " Come here." Levi an swered, " I can't, I am locked up." Levi said, " Where did they take you? Did they find anything on you?" Sa muel answered, " No, only halfpence." Levi asked whe• ther they had searched two places, but witness could not hear the names. Levi asked whether they found anything, to which Samuel answered, " No, that is all right." Levi then said, " Good night," rather loud. Shortly afterwards Levi said, "Tidier," agajn, "put your mouth down, and don't talk too loud, or else Mrs. Hollington will hear you." He then said, " Did you tell he that jacket was mine?" Samuel said, " Yes;" and Levi remarked, " What did you that for ?" Samuel said, " That was to (this) morning." Levi asked whether it had run out, meaning, as witness supposed, " washed out." He then asked where it was, and Samuel said, " He got it." Levi again said, good night. On Friday, October 4, witness heard Levi say, " Mind you and I have not had a pint of beer together these three, or six months." Witness could not tell whether it was three or six. Cross-examined by Mr. BALLANTINZ - She did not think about the reward. Evidence was then called to prove that the measurement of the footmarks corresponded with the measurement of the feet of the prisoner. This closed the case for the prosecution. CHANCERY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHANCELLOR.) TIIE CASE OF MISS TALBOT. - DOYLE V. WRIGIIT. Mr. PARKEP., in resuming his arguments this morning, contended that the conventual school at Taunton was a pro per place for the education of Miss Talbot, and as such had received the sanction of the Court, and that it was impos sible to construe the order of the Court, giving liberty to the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury to take her abroad, into a positive order or understanding that she abould go abroad with them and not be left behind in this ccuntry. They were frequently in the habit of going to Italy, and they pro cured the order so as to be immediately available in case they should have occasion to take her with them, as it was a rule of the Court that no ward should be taken beyond its jurisdiction without the sanction of the Lord Chancellor. The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury did not leave England until three years after the order was issued. The words " care and management," in this order of the Court, implied that they should be responsible for the way in which she was brought up and educated, and not that they should take her under their own roof, and it was to be remembered that as soon as her education was completed at this school, she went to reside at Alton Towers, with the Earl and Countess, and was afterwards introduced by them into society. There was a new charge made by his Learned Friend the Solicitor-General, as to their neglect of the young lady, viz., that she only visited Alton Towers once, and pro bably only for one day, and that whilst she was at the school, the Earl of Shrewsbury came to see her but on one occasion, and then only for half an hour. As this charge had come upon them unawares, he was not prepared with sufficient affidavits on the subject, but Dr. Doyle in his deposition stated that during the time the young lady was at the school she occasionally visited Alton Towers, and there met with per sons of high rank and connexion. But that the Earl and Countess had taken proper care of her education re quired no further evidence in support of it than the conduct of the young lady herself; throughout the whole of the trying circumstances in which she was placed she had conducted herself with the greatest discretion and good sense. There was not the slightest ground for be lieving that the Earl and Countess had tried to inveigle her into a distasteful marriage, and failing in that object, had forced her into a convent with the intention of inducing her to take the veil. The LORD CHANCELLOR said nothing could be more er roneous than to suppose that the marriage was in opposition to the young lady's wishes. Mr. PARKER thought it was very important that that should be made known, and that the Earl and Countess should be exculpated from the blame of forcing a young lady into a marriage to which she objected. Ile readily admitted that nothing would be more reprehensible than placing a ward in a convent with the Intention of making her take the veil; but in the present case there was no such intention, Miss Talbot having simply gone to the Lodge as a visitor and boarder, and if Mr. Berkeley had seized upon that cir cumstance for the purpose of dragging the young lady before ,the public, ho had committed an act of high contempt, and had shown himself to be the last person in the world to have any voice in the management of the young lady. After breal , ing off the marriage, it was only natural that she should wish to return to the conventual school, where she had all her dearest friends. According to th e rules of the institution, she could not enter as a scholar or boarder, and an arrangement was made that she should enter in the name of a postulant. lie sincerely regre! ted that such should have been the case, but he hoped his Lordship would not be frightened by the name of postulant. That was not the question, but whethe r she was - placed there in the expectation that she would take the veil and leave the world for ever. Nothing was further than that from the intention of the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury. The young lady went to the convent entirely with her own consent. Another charge again s t th e Earl of Shrew sbury was, that he directed she should not be seen by any one except in the presence of the superior or head of the convent. It was a part of his duty to p rov i de against a person in her position receiving improp er and obtrusive v isits, and he would have laid himself open to condemnation if he had net done so. The very fact, however, that Mr. Berkeley had an interview with the young lady, in the presence of the supe rior, proved that she had not entered the convent to be im mured there for life, because if she bad she would not have , been seen at all. The Learned Counsel then alluded to the publication of the young lady's letter, and said he was wholly lieueriut 9f We way 113 T a l ich it bed get into the mama, It was certainly neither the act of any one on the part 01 Earl and C ountess of Shrewsbury or Dr. Doyle, until he was informed of the contrary, he must cons it as the ac t o f M r. Berkeley or those who represented Ili; because it was ent i rely of a piece with the conduct be pursued. He trusted, in conclusion, that his Lordship '°' dismiss the petition ' w and deal with it so as t o mar k the' of the Court of M r . Berkeley's conduct on the matter. A LEANED C OUNSEL, who appeared for the trustees, A T, heard against th e costs of the petition being allowed by Court. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then replied, and contended tbi) the addresses of his Learned Friends, Mr. Rolt and PI Parker, consisted rather of vituperation and abuse agel, Mr. Berkeley, than of any s t atements explanatory of t one great fact of the case which had been prove 4 beyond I" demonstration—that this young lady, a ward of the Cot without any intimation to hi s L or d sh i p, was placed at "'i Lodge, at Taunton, with the inte n ti on o f b ecom i ng a po st! , lant, and taking the veil, which w ou ld not h ave b een know; until she was it evocablv pledg, d to remain there, a:seq . for the exertions of kr. Berkeley, of whose conducts in calling his Lordship's attention to the matter' his Lordship had expressed his satisfaction. Mr. Berke' ley had dis c h arge d a very pra i seworthy duty, boll as regarded the Court and the young lady. Letters 111 known to be in ex i stence w hi c h h a d passed betwo Miss Talbot and the lady abbess, Dr. Hendee, and a Winter, and were likely to throw much light on the PO I tion of the young lady in the convent, but they had s ° been produced, neither had any affidavit been obtained fr: i n d Mr. Winter, who neg o ti ate d t h e terms on wh i ch she CO enter the convent. The Court was totally ignorant of 1 ,1 circumstances within the k now l e d ge o f these part i es. result of the present application was almost now a matter t c , perfect indiffer ence t o Mr. Berkeley, for he had resoled D' young lady from the hands of the priests, but he anxious to clear himself of the odium and abuse which 11 _, been heaped upon him. M r . R o l t h a d sa id t h at a drew!, and public exhibition had been got up for ulterior objects, a suitable peri o d, w ith out t h e slightest regsP' to the feelings and interest of the young ladt, No one was more anxi ous th a n M r . Berkeley tbr, her feelings should be spared, an d on ly a s t rong sense o f dot, had induced him to bring the case before the public. He gretted that the private letters of the you ng l a d y to hi s L o ship had been made public, but he was instructed by fri f ' Berkeley's solicitor to say that he knew no more how it el into the newspapers than Mr. Bolt o r M r . Parker, and till he had lost fire or six different p a p ers s i nce he had been ev tending the court. Looking at the place from which it sates and the nature of it, he could not f or a moment suppoe el to be the letter of Miss Talbot. He could have no mor o tempting communication to comment on; but, considerielf how it had been brought forward, he would dismiss it sl once without further comment. The next point he came tod was the proposed marriage with a French gentleman nate Rochefoucault, which, considering it distasteful, his LordsbtP had broken off. The LOAD CHANCELLOR -4 had nothing to say deeog _ tory to that gentleman; the name h e b ears is well known Piti over Europe ; but, considering the young lady's age, s ti other circumstances, I thought the marriage objectionable. The SOLICTOR-GENENAL—H e is described in one of the d affidavits as a young French gentleman, but we understes he is above fifty years of age. The Loan CHANCELLOR 4 have not seen the gentler:ll o He had just left Alton Towers when I arrived. Mr. ROLT—He is twenty-six years of age. The SOLICITOR..GENERAL—Me thought he was the Puke de Rochefoucault. Mr. BOLT No, the younger brother of the Duke. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL then proceeded t• contend tbl o if his Lo'dship was satisfied Miss Telbot entered the coy' vent as a postulant, which was, after all, the gravamen e ftb o charge, Dr. Doyle ought no longer to be trusted with 1 1 1 guardianship.

JOHN DICHENI3.—We regret to have to so' stounce the sudden and unexpected death of Mr. Jobe Dickens, of the Daily News, an.. father of the celebrated no' velist. Mr. Dickens was in his 66th year. He formerly hell a 'situation in the Navy Pay-office, but had long devotee himself to journalism—principally in the reporting depart' ments. For some time Mr. John Dickens was connected with the Mi rror of Parliament, when edited by a re l a tive 0 ( his own. He a f terwar d s retired to the neighbourhood o f Exeter, from which he a rr i ve d i n town to take part i n t he establiAment of the Daily News. Of course the gre a ter part of the public interest which attaches to the memory of the late gentleman radiates from the fame of his illustrious son ; but, personally, Mr. John ickens enjoyed throughout his long life the esteem and respect of a wide circle of friend& Possessed of great energy of character, thorough business habits, a fine literary appreciation, and a perfect savoir faire in the practical management of an important department is London journalism, Mr. Dickens's removal will be felt as s wide blank and an irremediable misfortune in the extensive and respectable sphere within which his energies were di rected, and in which his worth and many sterling qualities were known. THE MARBLE Ancn.—On Saturday the re•erection of the marble arch at Cumberland gate was completed, and in the course of the week the carriage drive will be opened to the public. The blocks of marble of which the arch ie composed have all been fresh polished, and the structure bee altogether a very chaste appearance. The upper part of the arch has I- een on tructed as a police-station, and will con tain a reserve of men. - - Miss TAL80T..... the paragraph We are authorised to state th at which has appeared in several of the public journals, and our own among the number, to the effect that Miss Talbot is to be confided by the Lord Chancellor to the guardianship of the Duchess of Norfolk is not correct.
