[The following appeared in our Third Edition of Saturday :—] OPENING OF PARLIAMENT. (From the Supplement to the London Gazette of Friday. Palace of Westminster, Lord Great Cham berlain's-office, Feb. 1, 1851. All Peeresses, on announcing their intention of being present on the occasion of the opening of Par liament on Tuesday the 4th February, will have pieces reserved for them in the House of Lords, if the announcement be made at this office before five o'clock on Monday the ad instant. Peers' eldest sons, wishing to be present at the opening of Parliament, will have tickets for the Peers' eldest sons' box forwarded to them, upon a written or personal application at the office. No strangers can be admitted except by a ticket from the Lord Great Chamberlain. The doors will be opened at twelve o'clock. WILLOUGHBY DE MOSBY, G.C. FRANCE. M. d'Adelsward has, in order to clearly point out the extent of the legal attributions of the Legislative Power as far as concerns the right of requisition in extraordinary and urgent cases, presented a proposi tion to the Assembly to the following effect : " The Executive Power is charged to watch over the safety and defence of the Legislative Power; never theless, in extraordinary circumstances, of which he alone will be the judge, th e President of the National Assembly by himself, or by one of the Vice-Presidents, or the questors delegated by him, may call for all the forces which he may consider necessary for the safety of ' the Assembly. Officers of all ranks, as well as all functionaries, who ever they may be who may be called on, must obey the order of the President, or of his dele gate, under pain of the penalties set forth in the law. The present law is to be posted up in all the barracks of Paris." The committee charged to examine the Bill on the Colonial Banks decided yesterday that only notes of 500 f., 100 f., and 25f. are to be issued. It has rejected the idea of loans on the standing crops. The committee charged to examine the demand for authorisation to arrest M. Mauguin for debt has ap pointed M. Odilon Barrot as President, and M. Moulin as secretary. M. Mauguin having demanded to give explanations to the committee, it has fixed to day for that purpose. M. Baze, the questor of the Assembly, has pre sented the following proposition :—" No journal or periodical whatever shall be sold or distributed in the public streets. Any contravention of this law shall be tried by the Correctional Tribunal, and punished with an imprisonment of from one to six months, and a fine of from 25f. to 50f., without prejudice to any proceedings which may be instituted for crimes or misdemeanours either against the authors or the editors of such publications, or against the vendors and distributors themselves."

If this arrangement is carried into effect, a saving of 8001. a year will be made. The rank of Director- General is to be abolished. MARRIED SOLDIERS' LODGING MONEY.—It has reached us—and we learn the fact with unmingled pleasure—that the Secretary at War has determined to propose to Parliament that the allowance to the married soldiers, who prefer living out of barracks, be augmented to twopence per diem. This, with good management, will enable the allotted number to pro cure a certain quality of accommodation; and if the Government would only go a little further, and give them something for the fuel and candles they lose by living out of barracks, the measure of kindness, and the contribution to the interests of decency, will be complete. LIEUTENANT-GENERAL TREVOR.- We are glad in being able to contradict the report of the death of Lieutenant-General the Hon. Henry Otway Trevor, C. 8., Colonel of the 31st Regiment, but we find that he is suffering from severe illness. We regret to announce that Lieutenant. Colonel Lock, commanding the Royal Artillery at Chatham, is dangerously ill, and we fear without any hope of ultimate recovery. His medical advisers, Dr. Martin, of Rochester, and the Ordnance medical officer, are in constant attendance upon him, and the various out lets of the barracks are kept closed during the Colonel's illness. THE DEPOT, ISLE OF WlGHT.—Directions have been issued from the Horse Guards to the proper official authorities, to the effect that the Infantry Depot at the Isle of Wight is to be discontinued, as a military establishment, from the Ist of April next inclusive. MEDICAL STAFF.—Second-Class Surgeon J. W. Mostyn, M.D., and Assistant-Surgeon Fitzgibbon, embarked on the 20th instant at Gravesend, in the brig Dart, for Africa. THE GREAT EXHIBITION.—In the event of its being deemed advisable to increase the military strength of the London Garrison during the Great Exhibition in Hyde Park, temporary barracks are being fitced up at Kensington Palace and the Govern ment Works at Vauxhall-bridge for the accommo dation of the troops. It is rumoured that Lieutenant-General Henry Evatt, of the Royal Engineers, is dead; he is a very old officer, having entered the service in July, 1788. CLASS ADVANCEMENT.—We have been reminded, and with good reason, that all the advancement in the Coast Guard service is conferred upon comman ders and lieutenants, and mates, and that although many masters hold appointments in that service, they have no chance of preferment. That this is really the case is too true, although we may with confidence say, the fact is never considered by any but those who are the victims of neglect. We trust, however, that now attention has been directed to the invidious class distinctions, some hope of advancement in the Coast Guard service will be held out to masters who may distinguish themselves as well as to commanders, lieutenants, and mates. We do not desire for a moment to give the masters a share of the present annual promotions, but some additional reward should be established for their benefit. Mr. Samuel B. Cook, Master-Commander of tle Black Eagle, Admiralty steam-yacht, has been ap pointed by the Master-General of the Ordnance Superintendent of the vessels in their department, in the room of Commander Soady, who has retired. HER MAJESTY'S STEAM• TESSEL VOLCAN O.—Con wander Rivers has only got so far as Milford Haven on the way to the coast of Africa from Dcvonport. She is all safe, however, and was to sail as soon as the weather moderated. PROMOTIONS OF MASTERS.—We are gratified to find that a couplf, of Second Masters have been pro moted to the rank of Master, namely, Mr. Swaine, of the Pilot, 12, in China, and Mr. White, of the Ran ger, 8, on the coast of Africa. We understand that Mr. Abraham Sugden, pay mayster and purser of 1822, is to be nominated to the Prince Regent when recommissioned. This appoint ment reflects great credit upon whoever has had the distribution of the patronage. Mr. Sugden can have no interest beyond that likely to be possessed by an officer who has been struggling many years to bring up a large family upon his half-pay, eked out by a small salary as an extra clerk in the Accountant- General's department in Somerset House. Mr. James W. M. Ashby, clerk of the Arrogant, has been appointed acting secretary to Vice-Admiral Sir George Seymour, the new commander-in-chief on the North American and West India station ; but we believe we are correct when we state that Mr. Jeans, now serving with the Earl of Dundonald in that capacity, will continue to discharge the same duties under the ;new Admiral ; and Mr. Ashby will act as chief clerk in the office, and thus be eligible for pro motion to the rank of paymaster and purser whenever a vacancy occurs. _ _ _ Mr. Paymaster Nicholls, newly appointed from the flag-ship in the Mediterranean to the Excellent, at Portsmouth, has arrived in England and has joined his ship. Mr. Paymaster W. H. Brown (1823), late secre tary to Rear-Admiral Superintendent Harvey at Malta, and much and deservedly respected in the service, has been appointed clerk in charge of Govern ment stores at the island of Antigua, vice Hart. Mr. Surgeon Lardner, late of the Superb, 80, in the Mediterranean, has arrived in England to take up his new appointment in the Monarch, 84, ordinary guard-ship at Sheerness. THE CLIPPER SHIPS of AMERICA. Very justly, great interest attaches, at the present moment, to the slipper ships built to so large an ex tent in the shipyards of the United States for com petition with British merchantmen in the carrying trade of the China and Pacific waters. Probably the following description of one of the latest specimens, extracted from the Boston Atlas, will interest our mercantile readers : " The new clipper ship Staghound, of Boston, has been the wonder of all who have seen her. Not only is she the largest of her class afloat, but her model may be said to be the original of a new idea in naval architecture. She is longer and sharper than any other vessel of the merchant service in the world, while her breadth of beam and depth of hold are designed with special re ference to stability. Every element in her has been made subservient to speed. She is, therefore, her builder's beau ideal of swiftness, for in designing her he was not interfered with by her owners. He alone, therefore, is responsible for her sailing qualities. She is 207 feet long on the keel, 215 between perpendiculars on deck, and 226 feet from the knightheads to the tafs frail. The whole rake of her stem on deck is six feet, and of her sternpoat two feet. She has 40 feet extreme breadth of beam, 21 feet depth of hold, and will register 1,600 tons. Her depth of keel is 46 inches, dead rise at half floor 40 inches, rounding of sides 4 inches, and shear 2 feet 6 inches. She is uncommonly sharp forward, yet her bow bears no resemblance to that of a steamer; it seems to have grown naturally from the fulness of her model to a point, but so beautifully proportioned that the eye lingers on it with delight. A carved and gilded staghound, represented panting in the chase, and carved work around the hawse-holes and on the ends of her cat-heads, comprise her ornamental work about the bow. She has neither headboards nor trail boards, and may be said to be naked fOrward. As she is 5 feet higher forward than aft she sits upon the water as if ready for a spring a-head. An idea of the smallness of her stern may be formed from the fact that, at 8 feet from the midships of the taffrail, over all, she is only 24i feet wide. The stern projects about 7 feet beyond the sternpost. 'The between decks are 7 feet high; their waterways are 15 inches square, the streak inside of them 9 by 12 inches, and the two over them combined 10 by 18. These are all crossbolted in the usual style. She is seasoned with salt, and has ventilators in her decks and along the line of planksheer, fore and aft, and also in the bitts. She has a topgallant forecastle the height of the main rail, in the after wings of which she has waterclosets for the use of the crew. Abaft the foremast she has a house 42 feet long by 24 wide and 6 high, which contains spacious accom modetions for the crew, and other apartments for a ga ll e y, store-room, &e. The upper part of the house is ornamented with panels ,which look neatly. Her cabins are under a half poop deck, the height of the main rail, and have a descent of three feet below the main deck. Along the sides, and round the stern, the poop is protected by an open rail i ssupportedteeed, and on turned stanchions. On this deck she is steered, has a patent steering apparatus, is 44 the latest i i m n p it r s os f •e r m on e t n , ts a . mid T s h h e ip d s, ec i li s i a tse s l m f 4all s4qutte houselong, and or portico.to the entrance of the cabins. The after cabin is 32 f ee t l ong by 13 feet wide, and 6 feet 8 inches high. Its after division is fitted into a spacious state room, with two berths, and is admirably adapted for the accommodation of a family. Be fore this there is a wutercloset on each side, then a state-room ; before that a recess of 8 feet on each side, and then two state rooms. The sides of the cabins are splendidly finished with mahogany G o thi c panels, enamelled pilasters and cornices and gilt mouldings. It has a large sky light amidship s , an d every state room has its deck and sidelight also. In furniture and other details it will be as neat as that of a first-class packet. The forward cabin contains the captain's state room, which overlooks the main deck on the starboard side ; it also contains the pantry and state rooms for tilt, three mutes and the steward. It is 12 feet by 18 feet, and is neatly painted and grained, and lighted the seine as that abaft. Inside the ship is painted pearl colour, relieved with white ; and outside black, ' When made up in Fromwhat when PLACES. General Post-office port dis- due. London. patched.

Many cups, many diseases ; too much oil chokes .he lamp. —Eliza Cook's Journal. LymE.—Another serious accident has occurred on our shores, but not of so fatal a character as last week. The Mary Ann, of this port, the property of Mr. R. C. Walker, was observed on Wednesday last, about noon, making for the harbour, the wind blowing from the south and west; her can vass was greatly shattered ; she ran from the westward, and very nicely rounded the head on the harbour wall, but the wind just then catching her topsail, she received a check which prevented her running up to the quay. Finding she was going astern, the crew threw out their anchors and for a time she rode nobly, but the anchors "coming home," she shifted towards the shore, and night coming on, Mr. Walker signalled the crew to slip the cables, and this being done, she quickly touched the ground, and ultimately was drawn along side the Cob-gate jetty, where the crew in a fearfully ex hausted state were taken from her. Great praise is due to Capt. Willoughby, Lieut. Stanbridge, and the whole staff of satisfaction. preservation of the the Coast Guard, for they left no effort untried to save the vessel and the crew, but we fear their efforts with respect to must afiord them ample During the gale crew sloops in the harbour parted from her whi moorings, and sus . fishing sloops considerable injury by thumping the corporation barge was beaten the former will prove fruitless, of a life boat was very much felt.

The Cologne Gazette, under date of Schwerin 25th, says,—" The Austrian Government has announced to the Cabinet of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, that it was compelled to place 4,000 cavalry during the winter in cantonments in Mecklenburg, and particularly in the districts of Bortzenburg and Wittenburg. Our Ca binet intends to reply by a refusal, but it is probable that the Austrian Government will not pay any at tention to it." The Austrian Government has addressed a resnon strance to the Greek Cabinet on the subject of the welcome given to the Italian refugees in Greece, and of the conduct of those individuals. Several of the clubs at which they assembled have been closed in consequence. RACING FIXTURES FOR 1851. The following are the present fixtures as nearly as we can ascertain:— FEBRUARY.

She has patent purnp.s, which work with fly.-',Oie , el farad with elids w, ~,..u~:s. and two beautiful capstans, luade ellAd locust, inlaid with brass. Sne has a cylindrical iron water tank of 4,500 gallons' capacity, the depth of the ship, secured below the upper deck, abaft the main mast, and resting upon a massive bed constructed over and alongside the keelson. The ground tackle, boats, and other furniture are of the first quality, and every way worthy of the ship. Aloft, she looms like a ship of war. Her masts rake alike, namely, 11 inch in the foot. The distance from the stem to the centre of the fore mast is 50 feet ; thence to the main, 67 ; thence to the mizen, 56 ; and thence to the sternpost, 42 feet. The following are the dimensions of her masts and yards :—Fore mast, 82 feet ; foretop mast, 46 feet ; foretopgallant mast, 25 feet ; fore royal mast, 16 feet; fore skysail mast, 13 feet; main mast, 88 feet; main topmast, 51 feet ; main topgallant mast, 28 feet ; main royal mast, 19 feet ; main skysail mast, 15 feet; mizen mast, 78 feet; mizen topmast, 40 feet; mizen topgallant mast, 22 feet; mizen royal mast 18 feet ; mizen skysail, 11 feet. Fore yard, 72 feet ; fore topsail yard, 57 feet ; fore topgallant yard, 42 feet ; fore royal yard, 32 feet; fore skysail yard, 24i feet ; main yard, 86 feet ; main topsail yard, 68 feet ; main togallant yard, 58 feet; main royal yard, 42 feet; main skysail yard, 32 feet ; cross jack yard, 60 feet ; mizen topsail yard, 48 feet; mizen topgallant yard, 36 feet; mizen royal yard, 27 feet; mizen skysail yard, 22 feet. Her spars look majestically. Her taut masts and square yards, so duly proportioned, ' fill the eye with admiration.' A first•class frigate, the most sightly ship of war that floats, is not more imposingly beautiful aloft than the Staghound. Her sails are of cotton duck, 22 inches wide in the cloths, and, in cluding the studding sails and stay sails, contain 9,500 yards. With a jib topsail, water-sails, middle royal, and mizen topmast staysails, gaff topsail, and moonsails, she will spread nearly 11,000 yards. In the light winds of the tropics and Pacific, such a vast surface of canvas will send her along at the rate of ] seven or eight knots, when a common freighting ship ' would make little more than steerage way. The sub stance of her masts and yards, however, show that she is sparred for stormy weather as well as light breezes. Although she is sharp beyond all comparison with other ships, still her floor is carried forward and aft almost to the ends, and presents as true a surface to the water as ever graced the bottom of any vessel of equal length. That she has a long and buoyant floor is evident from her launch displacement. When launched she drew 10i- feet forward and 11 feet 6 inches aft, and this too including 39 inches depth or keel and shoe, clear of the garboards. Those who have not seen her on the stocks imagine, from her sharp appearance on the water, that she must bury in heavy weather; but this impression is erroneous, for she is, in fact, very buoyant for her tonnage; and what is more, we believe that she will be a re markebly dry vessel on deck in the worst of weather. She is, we have already stated, an original, and, to our eye, is perfect in her proportions. Her model must be criticised as an original production, and not as a copy from any class of ships or steamers. We have examined her carefully, both on the stocks and afloat, and are free to confess that there is not a single detail in the hull that we would wish to alter. Mr. B. M‘Kay, of East Boston, designed, modelled, dr..ughted, and built her; he also draughted her spars, and every other scientific detail about her. She is, therefore, his own production, as much as any ship can be the production of a single mind, and upon him alone, as before remarked, rests the respon,ibility 01 har success, always assuming that she will be pro perly managed at sea. She was designed for speed, and it is the opinion of competent judges that the vessel has yet to be built that will pass her. She ie owned by Messrs. George B. Upton, and Samson and Tappan, of this city, and is commanded by Captain Richardson, a gentleman of sterling worth as a man, and a sailor of long-tried experience. She will load for San Francisco, and thence will sail for China. We invite our mechanics to examine her, for we feel confident that she will bear inspection as well as any vessel that ever graced our waters." SHIP NEWS. LIVERPOOL, FEB. I.—Wind N.N.E. moderate.

This annual gathering of the " men of rank and likelihood" of the ancient borough of Tamworth took place at the Town-hall on Wednesday evening last, when upwards of 70 sat down to partake of the bounteous feast provided by their worthy chief magis trate, Mr. Job C. Righton. A usual, the host pre eid:al as chairrn,o, his right band guest behg she lord of Drayton Manor, who, as our readers will doubtless recollect, succeeded his much-lamented father in the representation of the borough. This was Sir Robert Peel's first public appearance among his constituents, and his reception was most en thusiastic. After the routine toasts had been duly honoured, Mr. W. Kellam. proposed, " Toe health of the Members for the borough of Tam worth." Sir R. PEEL then rose and said—Gentlemen, it is with feelings of the deepest emotion that I rice to return my very sincere and cordial thanks for the kind and flattering manner in which you have re sponded to the last toast. I regret extremely that my lion. Colleague is not present to participate in the pleasure arising from the manner in which the men tion of our names has been received, and I am sure you all lament the circumstances which detain him elsewhere.—(Hear, hear.) You will bear with me, I trust, in the expression of my feelings and opinions on the present occasion, from the consideration that this is the first time—not only the first opportunity upon which I have had the gratification of meeting any of the constituents publicly, as it were—although I admit, thanks to the kind and courteous hospitality of our Mayor, in a most agreeable manner—far less such an influential body as here present, amongst whom I recognise with pleasure, and 1 may add, as a source of encouragem en t, so man y f r iends linked together with me in the social ties of mutual intercourse, but,of addressing publicly any as sembly whatever. Let us call to mind the cir cumstances under which I now appear before you, and what melancholy reminiscences they bring back to our recollection. I now stand in the very place where at a like period last year (and how often in former years) surrounded by those whom he was wont to call his friends, he, the highest political or nament of his time, your honoured representative, my father stood. How often has his eloquence charmed you, his sentiments elevated you to a consi deration, that in addressing you, his friends, his neighbours, his constituents, and in making public mention of his views on political subjects, his voice would have a far wider range than the limits of this constituency, and that from the walls of this ancient and honoured hall they would be caught up to be re peated from one end of the country to the other, as our guide and encouragement in seasons of despon dency, to be borne aloft in our recollection in the springtide of our prosperity !—(Cheers.) But a change has come over the scene. Let us improve the melancholy bereavement we have sustained by recog nising in it one of the inscrutable dispensations of an all- wise Providence. Hitherto, but more particularly during the last eight years, the pursuits of my life and the aim of my ambition have been directed in a very different channel to that in which, from the unforeseen circumstances referred to, they appear destined to flow. Consequently, although I have errived at that period of life when many of my own stand ing are not only thoroughly conversant with, but have already taken an active part in the discussions of most questions affecting the social and political condition of this country, and have, moreover, by practice, over come in the public expression of their opinions that timidity naturally resulting at the outset from a want of sufficient confidence in one's own resources, I feel, gentlemen, that from long residence abroad and totally different pursuits I have much to learn to fit me for the adequate discharge of those duties my present position entails.—(Cheers.) There are occasions, and this is one, when it may not be altogether inadvisable to go a little further than the mere interchange of complimentary remarks, and, with your permission, I will refer briefly to the position to which your con fidence has elevated me. In a few days, and for the first time at the commencement of a Parliamentary session, I shall take my seat in the House of Com mons. It is true that towards the close of the last session I took the oaths qualifying me for a seat in Parliament ; but I took no part in the deliberations of the House, and therefore it is that I am desirous of dating the commencement of my Parliamentary career from the approaching ses sion. I look upon it as a very important epoch in my life, and I assure you I am deeply sensible of the responsibility not only attached to the name I bear, but to the political associations I have the honour of enjoying.—(Hear.) I have hitherto made no pro fession of political faith, and I have given no pledges, as you required none of me ; and I take this opportu nity of thanking the constituency for the courteous delicacy they showed towards me in this matter, and which increases the responsibility of my position, and renders it doubly incumbent upon me to prove my sense of gratitude by continued devotion to your in terests.—(Cheers.) But thus far I am now prepared to state that as a loyal subject of the Crown, a true Protestant of the Church of England—(Cheers)—and a Liberal Conservative in politics, I hope so to shape the course of my public life that as long as I shall have the honour of enjoying a seat in Parliament I may succeed in meriting the confidence and esteem of my constituents, enjoying the satisfaction that I may not have been altogether use less in my generation.—(Great applause.) I hope to discharge the duties which will devolve upon me in a right manner. Certainly I enter Parliament not with the vain, insipid gratifica tion of a personal vanity, but with the determination of devoting the best faculties I possess to the study of political questions. I have already hinted that my political convictions are of a liberal tendency, but permit me to enlarge on the point, in order that no misconstruction may apply to me, or that you may give me credit for more than I profess. lam for con serving sacredly all that the wisdom of our ances tors and the prudence of modern statesmen have se cured for our enjoyment, in so far as they are conso nant with the present and permanent interests and welfare of society.—(Hear.) I am equally for eradi cating and remodelling, but with prudence and dis cretion, whatever may be shown to be incompatible with those present interests, whatever may be con demned as unjust and obnoxious by an expression of public opinion—that safest criterion by which we can form accurate appreciations on political subjects, the rudder by which the statesman ought, by antici pation if possible, to guide the vessel of State; but mark the difference I am desirous of establishing be tween the calm and loyally dispassionate expression of public opinion and the wild ebullition of popular pre judice which sometimes calls itself public opinion. W ith the former I will endeavour to keep pace, but as regards the latter I shall always endeavour to be proof against it. From these considerations it is natural to infer that I make my appearance on the political stage rather as a partisan of progress than ai an advocate of that stationary school of policy which would stifle the in troduction of questions, or impede changes, which might at first sight appear uncalled for or inexpedient. But when I talk of progress, I allude not to the ficti tious progress which is based upon vain, senseless theories, which, by appeals to the masses, might cause great injury to the cause of constitutional liberty, but I speak of that progress which has its foundations laid upon the industry, intelligence, and good sense of society—of the progress which, uniting all classes of the community in one common bond of reciprocal interests, interferes not with, but rather encourages a gradual advance in the science of government, social and political, suitable to the development of ideas, and consequently to advanced moral and political advan tages.—(Cheers.) Before .1 sit down I would refer to two subjects, one of which has produced, and continues to excite, more than or di nary i nterest—l refer to the introduction and complete establishment of a Roman Catholic hierarchy in England. The other is the subject of taxation with reference to our financial arrangements. As regards the latter, lam decidedly in favour of the maintenance of a wise and prudent economy in all the var i ous b ranc h es of the public administration; at the same time I would be disposed to resist all s weep i ng measures of financial reform which, under the pretext of alleviating the burdens weighing upon the industrious classes, may appear plausible and expedient, but which unques tionably would afford on l y t emporary and dubitable advantage, inasmuch asithey:might produce a reac ti on which would be far more prejudicial than an unin terrupted continuance of the former measures.— (Hear, hear.) lam also not a very sturdy advocate of the cry raised for alleviation of taxation the mo ment that it is known that there is a surplus in the Exchequer ;—not that I would not willingly see the repeal of all taxation weighing upon the industry of the country, or interfering with the sanitary condi tion of the masses, particularly if in their uncondi tional surrender increased impetus could be given to the development of our financial concerns, and at the same time no very material injury be inflicted upon the revenue of our country ; but recollecting that we expect the Government to be conducted in an efficient manner, while all enjoy an honest pride in witnessing the power which our political and com mercial importance insures us over the whole world, we must take care to be prepared f'or those contingen. cies which are w ithi n th e li m its of probability. Con sequently, without referring to what party may have the administration of affairs, we must be prepared cheerfully to make every sacrifice in favour of the public good.—(Cheers.) Now, as regards the reli gious zeal, I believe I may add the religious anitnosi. ties, which unfortunately the recent organi za ti on of a Roman Catholic hierarchy in England has excited throughout the whole country, I em not q u it e pre pared upon an immature consideration of the question I to commit myself in any definite manner by an ex- prestiion of opinion which I might hereafter have :e33011 to 'lit, bud thy, ••! alarin ,~ . ~.i., • catiabie Ui üb6erviug have . xpre,..bd cileatscis,e, ap prehensive of.—(Hear.) At the same time I consider it highly necessary that the dignitaries of our Church should bestir themselves, and keep a rather more watchful eye than they have hitherto done over the spiritual interests committed to their charge and su perintendence, so that whin the dangers threaten us to which the Church must nece-s,rily he expoied f:rotn the and in,ali,.as attack, of her ene mies, we may be ready to look to our guides and authorities in religious matters fur advice and en couragement, and that they may be prepared to show us those steps which will go a long way towards dis arming religious apprehensions and doubts.—(Great applause.) And now I resume my seat, glad of the opportunity I have had of meeting to address you, and very grateful for the attention with - which you have listened to my observations, as well as the flatter ing reception you have given me. Important matters vvill be brought before the consideration of the House of Commons during the next session, and I trust you will give me credit for an impartial and conscientious discharge of my Parliamentary duties. I apprehend that after the lapse of time, when we shall compare notes, I shall have as much gratification in meeting you on public grounds, as I am sure I shall always enjoy in meeting you on private, and that you, the constituency, may be enabled to express your nth., faction at the fact that amidst the shoals of conflicting opinions and the shallows of contending parties, I have judiciously steered my course into this welcome har bour of refuge. (On resuming his seat the. Hon. Baronet was rapturously applauded. In fact, the matter of his speech, no less than the style of delivery, produced an electrical effect upon the company, and many were the comments of comparison and remarks of congratulation that circulated throughout the room.) POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET. Charles Schonster was brought up for re-examina tion, charged with stealing two silver forks and spoons from Simpson's Hotel, in the Strand. Mr. Dawes, a partner of Mr. Simpson, identified the property stolen, which had been offered for sale at Mr. Tate's, pawnbroker, by the prisoner. The evidence in this case appeared last week, and nothing further having been elicited, the prisoner was committed for trial at the Central Criminal Court. James Joseph Stanley was then placed at the bar, on remand, for stealing a silver fork and spoon from the Kent Tavern, Brownlow-street, Holborn. The depositions having been completed, the prisoner was fully committed. He was then charged with stealing a fork and spoon from Wood's cavern, Portugal street. George Morson, shopman to Mr. Fleming, pawn broker, Farringdon-street, stated that on the 11th of January, prisoner came to the shop and pledged the fork and spoon produced for 184. He could swear it was the prisoner who pledged the fork, but could not be certain as to the spoon. Anthony Pittard, waiter at Wood's Tavern, recog nised the fork and spoon, and stated that on the 11th of January they were missed from the coffee•room a his master's. Prisoner was committed on this charge also. A third charge was brought against him for stealing a silver spoon from the shop of Mr. Ehr hard, paArycook in the Strand, on the 13th of January. The case having been proved. he was committed for trial on this ch,rge likewise. There were several other similar cases apinst the prisoner, who appears to have carried on his nefarious practices to a large extent. THAMES. Dennis Driscoll, an Irish labourer, and Ellen Dris coll, his sister, were brought before Mr. Ingham, charged with committing violent assaults on George Ball, police -sergeant 21 H, and Robert Creese, a con • stable, 37 H. This case disclosed one of the most savage affairs ever brought under the notice of the magis trates of this court, in the district of which very sanguinary outrages have been committed. All the parties had been grievously bruised and wounded. Their clothes were saturated with gore, their faces covered with adhesive plaster, and their hands band aged. The female prisoner, as she stood in the dock, with her hair dishevelled and clotted with blood, her face bruised and swollen, and the top of her head covered with a patch, presented a very hideous ap pearance. Creese stated, that about a quarter past three that morning he was passing along his beat in Marmaduke street, St. George-in-the-East, when he saw Dennis Driscoll standing close to his door, and as he ap proached him he began to abuse the police, made use of very bad language, and struck him a violent blow on the side of the head. He directly turned round and seized the prisoner by the neckerchief. The prisoner laid hold of him by the col lar and dragged him into the passage, and at the same time struck him on the mouth, and caused it to bleed. A struggle took place, and the woman came up, got between them, and, after biting him and scratching his face, rescued her bro ther. He was then forced into the street and the door was closed upon him. He waited in the street oppo site the house for half an hour, until Sergeant Ball came up. After some delay a person in the second floor of the house flung the key of the street-door into the street, and admittance was obtained. They de manded an entrance into the prisoner's room, which was refused, and after waiting about five minutes the door of the apartment was forced in, and both prison ers immediately attacked him with great fury. Wit ness was very savagely beaten, and was now in great pain from the injuries received. William Walker, 445 K division, saw the woman rescue her brother from the last witness, and tear the constable's face. He went round his beat, and about an hour afterwards, hearing there bad been a very murderous attack made on Ball and Creese, went into the room where it had occurred. Everything wa s i n confusion and broken. The place was covered with blood and was like a slaughter-house. Sergesnt Ball, who has received fearful injuries, and was in a weak state from loss of blood, stated that he found Creese bleeding profusely from the nose and mouth. On obtaining admission into the house he called the male prisoner by name and asked him to open the door, which be refused to do, and swore with .an oath he would kill any -- policeman who en tered his place, and be hung or transported for them. He waited five minutes, and expostulations and intrea 'ties being found _useless he broke open the door. Dennis Driscoll immediately struck at him with a heavy billet of wood (produced), the blow from which he received on his arm and fingers, and was partially disabled by it. He closed in upon the prisoner, who managed, however, to strike another blow with the billet of wood on the top of the head, and inflicted a dreadful wound. His skull was laid open by the blow. They struggled and fell, the man on the top of him, and be seized w it ness b y the stock and nearly strangled him. By a desperate effort he threw the prisoner off him, upon which Ellen Driscoll flung herselt upon bim, and forced her fingers into his eye and attempted to gouge it, and tore his flesh open with her nails. He got up and was compelled to use his truncheon. The pri soners got him down again, and while he was down he was kicked and trampled on, and the woman got her fingers in his mouth, and made an attempt to tear it open. He bit her fingers, and she desisted for a time, and got her fingers into his mouth again, and was dragging his lips asunder, when he bit her fingers again and made her let go. A furious contest ensued, and while the prisoners laid about them, one with a poker and the other with a billet of wood, he and his brother officer were obliged to use their truncheons, and ultimately captured the pri soners. Mr. INGrrAm—l see your mouth and face have been dressed by a surgeon, and your head is bandaged. Were these wounds inflicted by the prisoners ? Ball—They were, Sir. My eye is very much swollen and inflamed, and I have received many wounds. Mr.INGIIAM—What time was it when you went up ? Ball—About four o'clock. There was no light in the room. We were in the dark. The prisoners in defence said, the police were the aggressors. Dennis Driscoll urged that he was stand ing at his door and Creese interfered with him and struck him, and that long after he had gone to bed and fallen asleep the police broke open his door, drsgged him out of his bed, and beat him with their truncheons. 'When his sister interfered she was also unmercifully beaten, although she was a little weak creature. The woman confirmed her brother's state ment, and said the police broke a truncheon over her head and used her brutally. The sergeant nearly bit her fingers off. Mr. INOLIAX said, he could not distinguish the case of Ellen Driscoll from her brother's ; that both had committed a m ost b ar b arous outrage. H e never h ear d of anything so savage in his life. He sentenced the prisoners to b e i mpr i sone d f or one mon th i n the House of Correction. Water, water ! is the cry everywhere in the me tropolis just now; and a very important cry it is. It ought to be reiterated, as we said long and long ago, as loudly as if half London were on fire. Cleanliness (" next to Godliness," it has been said, but not thougnt ), health, public safety, mo rality, general progress, are all involved in it. Pure water, and plenty of it, xnuA be had : the question yet to be solved is, " Where from ?" Builder. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENT. --A colliery acci dent, attended by fatal consequences, occurred on Wednesday last, at the Bwlch Cons , is Allue, near Aberystwith. Two of the workmen, Morgan Hughes and David Williams, were at work in onl of the levels, when the bottom suddenly gave Way, and the unfortunate men were precipitated to a depth down a shaft of fifteen fathoms, a large quaßity of the earth work of the sides of the level falling in upon them. An alarm was given, and the unhappy fellows were got out, but they were both dead...titre/ord Timm TOTAL LOSS OF THE TORONTO. !•,/ I t CO3 tons bur' " :a„.- pa,)sr_ges: 0,1 recurd, b.c,:eeu L o ndon and N o w York, has, we regret to say, been totally lost on the Mantanille. reef, near the Bahama I s l an d s , i n the Florida Ga lt stream, the entrance to the Gulf of Mexico.

During the night the ship remained a fisni re i and at daybreak the following mor n i ng the sounding ° the pumps showed there was no fe wer than 18 feet f water in the hold.
