~~:' ~ ~~ that agreement that the 15,0001. a year to their corn- ' pany should not be an after charge on any other y ear. Y e t was, in fact, pre-payment. It might not be wise to have that agreement printed, because there were parties hostile to them who w o u ld do all in their power to upset that agreement. Unfortunately, as they found from their experience, there were persons who would get up a case with a view of drawing them into a law court. If any gentleman wanted an ex planation as to any point it would be given him cheer fully. The directors had no doubt as to the validity of the agreement. The SOLICITOR (Mr. Williams) said that the agree - i nept was prepared by a gentleman who was un equalled in the legal profession. The CHAIRMAN said that the Great Northern had taken steps in Chancery to make the , Eastern Coun ties open their junc tion p oints at I\ iebeach. They bad moved for an injunction, but the Court rose be fore the matter was heard. .However, it might be very shortly decide d by Sir William Ryan. Mr. LECHMERE (auditor) defended the terms used in the auditors report. He said it would not be safe to take a house on such an agreement. The 15,0001. a year would never come into their pockets without litigation. Mr. BATES said that all the mischief in the affairs of the company had been done by the former manage enent, and not by the present, who succeeded to a legacy o f difficulty and debt unparalleled in the railway w orld. The effect of the paragragh in the auditors' report respecting the agreement would only be to un settle the minds of the company's creditors, and to prevent their coming to the arrangements proposed by the board. He believed it was as good an agreement for the East Anglian as for the Great Northern. At all events, it was a fair agreement for both com panies. He believed also that the interest of 15,0001. year guaranteed by the Great Northern was more than 20,0001. by the Eastern Counties, whose interest it would be to take the traffic of the company's line. Those who wished might go to law. He would pro test against the money of the company being expended in printing that agreement. The CHAIRMAN said—ln the presence of a member of the Eastern Counties Company he was ready to print a correspondence which had taken place, to show the conduct which had been resorted to for the pur pose of screwing down their undertaking , in or der that it might be purchased as a bargain. They were compelled to lease themselves to some company, and when they were applying to Parliament for the powers to do so, they inquired of the Eastern Counties if they would allow their name to be inserted as one , of the great companies to who m the y mi g ht lease : answer they received was, that their name tw i g not inserted as they pleased , but that they wori s i interfere. They had never received n e ,. .re - inclined n otice from that compa n y that tt:_ with the to negotiate. Afterelgewe . men. cut off his hand as that company would not Great Northern, fro' nick h e as , soon have t. to go baelLastern . oun ies, because they .4,tn, make some advance in the terms offered by the other company. It any gentleman who doubted what he asserted, as to the advantages of the agreement to their company, would come to him, he would state the facts upon which his (the Chairman's) opinion was based. Though he had been led to make this state ment from what had fallen from a proprietor, the ob ject of his observations was to show thatthe traffic of their line bad never been developed. Mr. WILLIAMS said it was very likely that the validity of the agreement would be tested without any expense to them. The CHAIRMAN said it would come into the con junction case between the Great Northern and Eastern Counties. Mr. WILLIAMS said, as far as the company was concerned, he did not care if the agreement should be posted on the wall of the Mansion-house ; but in printing it at present they would not be doing justice to the Great Northern, pending the lawsuit. After some discussion the motion was carried. A resolution to the effect that the auditors should meet the directors for the purpose of considering the solicitor's bill, was then agreed to. The formal resolution sanctioning the conversion of the shares was then agreed to ; after which thanks were voted to the chairman, and the meeting separated. FIER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

It would appear, therefore, that the rebel lion has been suppressed, and that if Spain is but left to herself she is well able to suppress any attempt at insurrection that may be made in Cuba. Bat she will not be left to herself ; this insurrection, or rather this miserable attempt at an outbreak, has been got up solely by the pirates of the Southern States ofi the American Union, in order to afford them an op portunity of invading the island. The expedition of LOPEZ has already sailed, and other pirates are pre paring to follow. The following extract from the letter of the New Orleans correspondent of the New York Herald describes an organised system of piracy not surpassed by that of the Barbary Corsairs in their most palmy days, and which ought to acquire for New Orleans in the nineteenth the unenviable noto riety which was the shame of Algiers in the seven teenth and eighteenth centuries. Writing on the Bth of August, from New Orleans, the New York Herald's correspondent says There are now at least 3,000 stout men raised, only waiting transportation to embark their lives and their all in the struggle of the Cubans. Daily crowds of young men arrive from the neighbouring States, all well armed and fully accoutred, eager for the fray. Those gallant young officers—Hawkins and Pickett, of Ken tucky—the latter a good Spanish scholar, who has re resided some time in the West Indies, have two hundred picked riflemen of Kentucky, who will be among the first to embark in the next expedition. On Sunday last at 3 o'clock, A at. the Pampero, which was built by Cap tain Hunter for the Chagres trade, and which has been plying f'or some time between this city and Galveston, left the wharf at Lafayette, with the advance party under General Lopez. They were all picked men, and included 150 Spaniards and Creoles, who have all lived in Cuba. They are under the command of a young Creole, of Porto Rico, of the name of Goday, a stout fellow seven feet high, and full of energy and decision of character. Ganeral Pragay, the distinguished Hun garian, Adjutant-General of Klapka at Comorn, who has been in forty-two battles, and is a moat skilful and gallant officer, goes with Lopez as second in command. There are also twenty Hungarian engineers in the party. The other officers are—Colonel Crittenden, late of the army, a nephew of the Attorney-General, who has immediate command of an artillery company; Col. Dollman, of Georgia, who served through the Mexican war; Major J. A. Kelly, who served in Florida and Mexico, and who once edited a leading Whig paper iu the state; Captains W. Scott Haynes, A. J. Dailey, and others whose names I do not at present remember. There are five hundred rank and file. "The Pampero is commanded by Captain Lewis, who directed the Creole so successfully in the Cardenas ex pedition. He is a true, gallant fellow, and an admirable sailor. She is quite fast, and will run ahead of any of the war steamers. In case of attack she carries grap pling irons to close in with her antagonists, and board. In a melee the bowie knives would prove very effective in the hands that will wield them. We expect to get the first news of the Pampero by herself. The Spanish consul was badly ' sold' by some speculators here, who traded off a miserable apology for a steamer, called the Cincinnati, which was to run ahead of the Pampero, and informed the Captain-General of her coming here. She will not get there under two weeks, if ever. There was serious talk among the fillibusteros of capturing her when she got outside. This, however, would be a perilous affair, as she sails under American colours." The piratical expedition has therefore sailed, and it is evident that it has sailed with the full knowledge and the connivance of the Executive of the United States ; it may indeed be true that the Executive was too weak to effect the arrest of LOPEZ and his com panions on shore, or to prevent the sailing of the expedition, bat nothing could have been more easy than to have ordered a naval force to the Cuban waters and the gulf sufficient to arrest the Pampero in her progress, and to bring her and her cargo of pirates to Boston, New York, or some of the northern ports. That, however, which the Republic of the United States has refused to do the French Republic has, in all probability, by this time done : the New Orleans Delta of the 10th August says : " We have authentic intelligence that the French ves sels of war stationed near Cuba have tendered their services to the Government of that island, to aid it against the people, and have actually been engaged in the transportation of troops from Havannah to various parts of the island." If any of the French vessels of war have fallen in with the Pampero, LOPEZ has been probably afforded an opportunity of carrying his avowed determination into effect, of blowing up the ship rather than surren dering. But the destruction of LorEzand his compa nions would by no means put an end to these piratical expeditions. From all parts of the southern States adventurers are pouring into New Orleans for the purpose of organising expeditions against Cuba, and the Executive is giving actual encouragement to this iniquitous system of brigandage, by declaring that the time is not far distant when Cuba must be annexed to the United States, and on that declaration basing a proposal for the purchase of the island from Spain. We again urge upon our Foreign Secretary the absolute neces sity of interfering promptly and effectively to defend the rights of Spain to her richest colonial dependency against the attacks of these organized bands of pirates, and at the same time to protest, and if ne cessary follow the protest by ulterior measures, against the sale of Cuba by Spain, or the purchase of Cuba by any other power. During the past week we directed the public at tention to the remarkably able brochure of Mr. W. CAMPBELL SLEIGH,* in which the speech of the Bishop of EXETER against the second reading of the Marriages Affinity Bill was subjected to the most stringent, but at the same time the most justifiable, criticism. Its weaknesses and inconsistencies were freely and unsparingly commented on, while the misquotations and interpolations, which are unfor tunately to be found in the oration of the Right Rev. Prelate, were fearlessly exposed. We have anxiously looked for the reply of the Bishop. We entertained no doubt that such would be forthcoming. Bishop PnineroTTs is usually not accustomed to shrink from any wordy warfare ; nor, although so long on the Episcopal Bench, has he adopted the principle, at least in polemical matters, of " turning his other cheek to the smiter," or even receiving the attacks of his assailants, without, so far as was in his power, ren dering in every instance an ample equivalent. On the present occasion, however, the redoubted " HARRY" has exhibited a remarkable forbearance. He has remained perfectly quiescent, " swallowing his leek" with the most edifying humility. There has been no episcopal " Roland" to meet the forensic " Oliver." The lists are untenanted, and the challenger is suffered to bear off the prize without a contest. There has been no word of explanation or remonstrance, no reference to the works of JEREMY TAYLOR or other polemical writer to sustain the cor rectness of his conclusions ; or, what with a man holding a high and important office in the national Church should be of much higher importance, the accuracy of his quotations. The Right Rev. Prelate has maintained a total and unbroken silence, while all parties interested in the controversy were anxiously awaiting the response of the self-elected champion of the existing law. Whence this unwonted patience ? How did the Bishop restrain his ardour or maintain his quiescence? It could not be that the matter escaped his notice. If even his publisher neglected to inform him of a pamphlet especially directed against his own speech, which might call for some reply, who can doubt but that his Lordship has a sufficient number of good-natured friends" to direct his attention to the presumptuous and daring layman who ventured to assail him on his own grounds, to confute his argu ments, and to assert, and, what was worse, to prove, that he was grossly in error in his interpretation of the Scripture ? It would be no rash or light presumption, then, to decide that the Bishop of EXETER had long since perused the pamphlet of Mr. SLEIGH, were we even without any direct testimony on the subject. But it does not even rest there, for we believe that we may assert, without fear of contradiction, that one of the earliest copies was forwarded to his Lordship for his perusal, affording him a literary "bone to pick" of a very unsavoury and indigestible character. The almost inexplicable silence must be accounted for on other grounds. Perhap.g, with all his argu mentative skill, the Right Reverend Prelate might find it impossible to reply satisfactorily to the cogent reasons adduced by his talented opponent. It might be a dangerous course to adopt to enter upon a con test with an adversary who bad given such uneitii vocal proofs of his vigour and efficiency, and that where every stage of the preceediogs would be in •'• .er to the Lord titNtrop ut Exeter."

E• .11 0 T eta ellialt LONDON, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 1, 1851 The intelligence received from the United States by the Europa, which arrived at Liverpool yesterday morning, is by no means calculated to lessen the anxiety which we have on more than one occasion of late expressed on the subject of the state of affairs in the island of Cuba. Although the accounts are very contradictory, yet we think there ca❑ be little doubt but that the Captain-General of the island, CONCHA, has succeeded not only in suppressing the insurrection but in capturing the rebel chiefs. _ The Faecal, a newspaper published at Puerto Prin cipe, a city which the upholders of the piratical expe dition under LOPEZ would fain have us believe is, and has been all along, in possession of the rebels, Publishes the following in its number of the 27th July :—" The apprehension of Don JOAQUIN AGUEII.O Y AGUERO, with his five companions, has put a com plete seal to the pacification of the country ;" and on the Ist of August the official Gazette of the Island of Cuba published the following general orders :7 , :ARMY OF THE ISLAND OF CUBA. "GENERAL 11EAD-QUARTER6 __ " The reports received to-day, by his Excellency Sr. Captain General Governor, announced that the Oriental and Central Departments enjoy the most perfect tran quillity ; that on the 26th ult. D. Joaquin Aguero y Aguero, and the five individuals who composed his beaten party, had arrived at Puerto Principe, under a strong escort ; that in the hunting and dispersion, sup ported by the party of Armenteros, the troops had taken fifty horses." After giving the names of thirty-two persons of rank, who have either surrendered themselves or been taken prisoners by the troops, the document thus proceeds— " That the chief of this party, D. Isidore Armenteros, had presooted himself, imploring the pity of her Ma jesty, through the Lieutenant of the regiment of Arra goes, D. Jot 6 Maria Espinosa, who guarded the passage of the river Hannabilla, called El Guayabo. " In all parts the excellent spirit of the inhabitants was shown to the troops, and a great many of them offered themselves with arms, and mounted on their horses, to pursue the rebel& To Manicaragua thirty-five citizens followed, almost by force, the Lieutenant• Governor in his pursuit. " This document is published in the official Gazeta, by order of the General Governor. "The Chic f Colonel of E. NI., joAQUIM MORALES DE NADA. " Flavannah, Augu!t 1." The New York Herald of the 19th ult. states that on the day preceding the brig Eliza Burgess had arrived at Boston from San Juan de Cuba, with dates to the sth ; that at that date all was perfectly tranquil on that side of the island ; that disturbances had been heard of on the other side, but that the general opi nion was at San Juan that they did not amount to much. We consider that this intelligence, backed as it is by the information contained in the general orders published in the Gageta by the authority of the Cqtaiu-Gcneral of the island, is much more likely D~. MONDAY _ EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 1851. rint, standing out in broad type for public edifica don. The audience on the occasion nould be the community in general. It would not be a ;elect assembly of some ten or a dozen spi ; 'itual Peers, aided and assisted by an equal umber of temporal Peers ready to applaud any so p bistry that sustained the prejudiced and bigotted vi ews of the majority ; or that endeavoured to retain on e of the last vestiges of intolerance on the national eta ute-book—an enactment that restricted the privi lege s of British subjects, that forbade them to judge for t hemselves on the most interesting and important question that could possibly arise, one affecting the most ; sacred relationship of life, and possibly occa sioning the future happiness or misery of the parties w ho should refuse to sacrifice the dearest affec tions of the heart to the absurd, the unavailing, and the unreasonable prohibition, and of their innocent offspring. The House of Lords night, unquestionably, be a fitter atmosphere for the pur pores of the Bishop, but the public generally will know how to estimate his refusal to reply to the challenge on equal terms, where neither of the par ties would have any 'vantage ground. We cannot conclude without once more requesting those of our renders who still entertain any doubt on this subject to read calmly and attentively Mr. SLEIGH'S pamphlet, which we venture to assert must completely remove every difficulty. Mr. SLEIGH has applied himself to the theological part of the question, and his success has been of the most unequivocal character. We would gladly explain the nature of his views, but any attempt to epitomise would be an act of injustice to the learned author. Every sentence, every paragraph is important, and should be read, that the whole might be duly appreciated. Mr. SLEIGH does riot merely depend on the high authorities which he brings for ward in support of his proposition—authorities at least as imposing as P":iy that could be produced on the other side ; but, conscious of his own strength and the righteousness of his cause, he stands on the broad scriptural foundation, which should be regarded as the only basis that could justify le gislation on religious questions. On these points his arguments are indeed unanswerable, and must convince every person who brings an unbiassed mind to the consideration of the question. There is no Protestant Church that is unanimous on the point, although, even if such were the case, we should deny the right of any sect to impose fetters on others, who claim the right of judging for themselves. If the advocates of the restriction can cite the opinions of the Bishops of Lost nom and EXETER, we can point to those of the Bishops of ST. DAVID'S and NORWICH, while we will add the respected names of CHALMERS and SOUTHEY, whose views, briefly but clearly expressed, have been quoted by Mr. SLEIGH in the following terms : "In verse 18, of the 18th chapter of Leviticus, the prohibition is only against marrying a wife's sister during the lifetime of the first wife, WHICH OF ITSELF IMPLIES A LIBERTY TO MARRY THE SISTER ♦FTER HER DEATH."—Dr. Chalmers' Daily Scripture Readings, vol. 1, p. 225. " But has it never occurred to you, my dear Wynn, that this law is an abominable relic of ecclesiastical tyranny ? Of all second marriages, I bare no be-itation i❑ saying that these are the most suitable and likely to be the most frequent, it the law did not sometimes pre vent them. It is quite monstrous, judges and lawyers (might not the venerable Laur. ace have added •• bishops?") speaking as they have done of late upon this subject."—Robert Southey, vol. iv., p. 114. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of Saturday and yesterday. The journals of Saturday give the following ac count of the conclusion of the proceedings before the court-martial at Lyons : The judges retired to deliberate at half-past twelve, and returned iato court between six and seven in the evening. The Preident then, " in the name of the French peo ple"(the guard presenting arms), delivered the judgment. The accused, as is usual before courts-martial, were not present. The reading of the judgment occupied an hour and a half, the details being repeated for every one of the accused. After setting forth the constitution of the Court and the names of the judges (one of them a sergeant-major), and the manner in which the trial had been conducted, this document stated that the questions which the court had examined were:-1. Was the accused guilty of having taken part in a plot at Lyons for the purpose of destroying or changing the government of the Repub lic? 2 Was that plot followed by an act committed, or commenced, for preparing the execution of it? 3. Was the same accused guilty of having taken part in a plot formed at Lyons, for the purpose of exciting civil war by arming the citizens against each other? 4. Was that plot followed by an act committed or com menced, for preparing the execution •of it? 5. Was the same accused guilty of having formed part of a seeret society ? As to Gent, there was an additional question—Was the accused guilty of having been the chief of a secret society? The decision of the Court on these questions were— that twelve of the accused were not guilty; and that the others, thirty-six in number, including those in flight, were guilty. The accused acquitted were—Belliscer, Nouis, Au riol, Daillan, Marion, Pinet, Alcibiade Malleval, Va cheresse, Pasta, Caussonel, Ands e, anti Este >ule. The condemnations passed on the accused declsred guilty were in virtue of Articles 87, 89, and 91 of the Penal Code, 13 of the decree of 28th July, 1848. on secret societies—the said articles being modified with respect to some of the accused by Art. 463 of the Penal Code, 1 and 2of the Law of Germinal, An. 7. These condemnations were as follow: .. . Transportation—Alphonse Gent, Albert Ode, Lon gomazino, De Saint Prix, Antoine Rey, Carriere, SLIM& nt. . . --- Fifteen years' "detention"—Montegut. Ten years' "detention"—H. Delescluza, Bouvier, Barbut, Dsumas, Marmot, Sslabelle, Lamorthe, and Mortanier. — Five years' " detention"—Borel, Chevasaus, Grill, Isidore Gent, Jean, Prurient, Robert, Msistre, Pierre Fat; years imprisonment, five years' deprivation of civil rights, and 100 f. fine—Merle. Two years' imprisonment, five years' deprivation of civil rights, and 100 f. fine—Beridot, Jouvenne, Petitbon. A year's imprisonment, 100 f. fine and two years' de privation of civil rights-6auve, Bonsirven, Ccarpen tier. . Six ont he imprisonment, and two years' deprivation of civil rights—Dupont, Carle. A year's imprisonment and 100'. fine—Thourel (by the minority of four). (Detention, is what the French law calls afflictive a infamante, it is more severe than ordinary imprisonment, and subjects the offender after his release to surveillance of the police for lite.] Just as the Presiaent had terminated the reading of the judgment, a loud cry of " Viva la Republique!" was heard. The President—Whence comes that cry? Captain Montlouia, the officer on duty—From the pri son, Colonel. The President—Send a commissary to cause justice to be respected. The President then said that the Court ordered the public prosecutor to read the judg ment to the accused, in presence of the guard assem bled under arms, and to the acquitted in presence of the guard assembled without arms; also to inform the condemned that the law granted them twenty-four hours to appeal to the Court of Revision. Ho added that the public prosecutor was to see the judgment ex ecuted. The public prosecutor than wont to the prison and read the judgment. In the vicinity of the court large crowds were as sembled, but the military precautions taken prevented any demonstrations, and the rain having begun to fall heavily, caused them after a while to disperse. The Messager states that the Mayor of Poitiers and his two deputies have been dismissed, on the ap plication of the Prefect of the Vienne. On this statement the National remarks as follows : " This decree of revocation has been issued on the de mand of the Prefect of Vienne, and based on the letter addressed by the mayor to the president of the Cercle des Ecoles,' to inform him that the Prefect had inter dicted that club, under the pretence that its object had become political. The following is the letter of the mayor addressed to the president of the Cercle. We think it right to reproduce it, in order to enable the pub lic to judge of the facts:— " Poitiers, 16th August, 1851. " Liberti, Egalit4, Fraternic " Monsieur le President,—l have the honour to send you a copy of a decree of the Prefect, dated the 2d, in terdicting the meeting called the Cercle des Ecoles. I take pleasure, on this occasion, in preventing an official notification from being made to you, because it might be painful to yon, and it is my wish to soften as much as pos sible the rigour of the decree which strikes you. I greatly regret not having been able to prevent it. I think, however, that the Prefect, enlightened by you and the members of your bureau, may perhaps retract the measure which disperses you, but in any case lam persuaded that he will completely approve my manner of acting towards you. Be kind enough, Monsieur le President, to ac knowledge the receipt of the enclosed document, &c. "‘ ORILLARD, May or.' " M. Bonaparte, the only man in France who has taken an oath of fidelity to the Republic, must have found himself in a terrible perplexity before signing this dismissal. What will ill disposed people not say Will they not recal to mind that M. Orillard is the only functionary who during the journey to Poitiers ad dressed a republican speech to M. Bonaparte? Will it not be said that that speech is not yet forgotten at the ElPie? Will it not be thought that the Republican ac clamations of the population of Poitiers were but little agreeable to official ears ? We can under itind the frpselatuilons which AL S onapt te must -, have on this point, and we must say that they aro too well justified. All the Republicans of Poitiers, and M. Bonaparte knows from experience that they are numerous—connect the speech of M. Orillard with the disgrace which now falls on him. Discontent is accordingly very great. Alretr.ly have eight municipal councillors given in their resignation, viz., MM. Barthelemy, Jacquault, Pilotelle, Etienne, Romand, Degusseau, Martineau, Recordeau, Pouliotte; M. David de Thins, secretary-general of the Mairie, has also resigned. The Moniteur cannot tail to reply to these complaints, and to make known the motives which have caused the die. missal of these honourable citizens by M. Bonaparte, for evidently the pretext given for it—the letter of the Mayor to the Cerole des Ecoles— is not serious. We will therefore wait for the Moniteur before pronouncing. But we can say now that the sympathy manifested for MM. Orillard, Collinet, and Quotard, proves that these honourable citizens retire with the regrets of the popu la. ion of Poitiers. And the demonstration of the esteem of their fellow-cttiz ins will amply recompense them for the disgrace countersigned by M. Li in Faucher." Letters from Algiers express fears of renewed disturbances with the Arabs. Toe Council General of Corsica has resolved, by 40 to 4, that it is desirable that the 45th Article of the Constitution, prohibiting the re-election of the President, should he repealed.

The proposition of the Navy Com mission, to obtain by payment from each state a sum of 532,000 florins for the support of the German fleet to the end of the year, was adopted by a large majo rity, but no definite resolution has yet been come to." ITALY AND SICILY. The Sardinian workmen who are to visit the Great London Exhibition left Turin on the 27th, under the direction of Signor SCAPPINI, a Deputy of the Chamber.

The 20 h August being the anniversary of the death of Pius VII., a funeral service was celebrated with great pomp on that day in the basilica of the Vatican. A letter from Palermo, of the 7th ult., announces the arrival of the British fleet at Trapani. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. Since the performances at play-house prices com menced money has been turned away from the doors every night. On Saturday, long before the com mencement of the performance, the house was so crowded that the money-takers were withdrawn from the boxes, and crowds of disappointed persons left the theatre unable to gain admittance. In consequence of the great success of this experiment, there will be five more performances given on the same plan. BATTY'S .HIPPODROWE. The spirited proprietor of this excellent, and well patronised, place of amusement, which has been erected at Kensington, near the Exhibition, has in the most kind manner offered a grand treat to the boys of the Naval School at Greenwich, by intimating to the au thorities his willingness to afford them a free admis sion to the entertainments ; Mr. Batty, who never does things by halves, has also interested himself with the directors of the Greenwich Railway, who have generously met him in the best spirit, and agreed to convey the boys to London and back gratuitously. Such a feeling as this should not go unnoticed, and we hope the inhabitants of Greenwich will show their appreciation of the same, by attending the perform- ances. We may also mention, to shew the good in tentions of Mr. Batty, that should the authorities of the Asylum object to the boys going to the usual even ing's entertainment, he has offered to make the fete a day one, to meet their wishes. The performances at this new and novel place of amusement are very dif ferent to the usual equestrian displays, including ostrich races, Roman car races, and other novelties, for which there is not room in any other place in this country ; while, instead of following the plan which has generally been adopted of raising the prices, in consequence of the Exhibition, he has fixed them so moderately that the most humble may visit it ; the price of admission being so low, in some parts, as sixpence each.—Kentish Mercury. COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT. (FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.) THE " AMERICA" NO LONGER AN AMERICAN. COWES, SATURDAY.—This fleet one, which has caused as much sensation in the yachting community as the " Great Exhibition" has in the world generally, has been this day purchased by the Hon. Mr. de Blaguiere, son of Lord Blaguiere. The purchase money is said to be 5,0001. He may now challenge all Europe, if not the whole world, but how long he may remain in that position another season may throw some light on, as all our yacht builders seem deter mined to strive to produce a vessel that shall exceed the famed " America" in swiftness, yet as almost all our yachtmen require accommodations and comforts for their families, and want floating mansions, and some even palaces for their wives and families, we fear this cannot be obtained, and these remarkable fast sailing qualities also. 1851 will be memorable as producing the America. What 1852 will be remark able for time alone can tell, but the yachting world seem more awake than usual, and there is likely to be great exertions made to produce something uncom mon for next season.

APPREHENSION OF HACKETT IN NEW YORK...—. This notorious criminal, who, it will be recollected, was con victed in this country of burglary, sentenced to transporta tion for fifteen years, and subsequently made his escape in a most extraordinary manner from the Model Prison, at Pen tonville. proceeded to the United States. Since that period his brother has been convicted of felony and transported. A letter recently received from America by Mr. Payne, one of the United States police, who is over here to watch some of his doubtfully honest countrymen who frequented the Exhibition, states, that although George Hackett, the es caped convict, was supposed to have had in his possession a considerable portion of his ill-gotten wealth, yet his ruling passion for plunder prevailed at New York, and among other depredations he proceeded to the residence of a gentleman named Williams, at a place nailed Newark, near New York, and with others, not in custody, broke into the house, and abstracted therefrom a quantity of plate, valued at 3,000 dollars. For this offence he was speedily apprehended, and now lies in the New York gaol to await his trial, and should he be convicted, will be subject to close imprisonment of about ten years. THB CRIMINAL LAW.—This day (Monday) Lord Campbell's new Act on the administration of the criminal law will come into operation. By this Act criminal courts can order indictments, to be amended where the va riances are not material to the merits of the case. In in dictments for murder and manslaughter the means by which the injury was inflicted need not be specified, and in cases of forgery and getting property by false pretences, it will be sufficient to allege that the act was done to defraud, without stating any particular person. A person indicted for felony may be found guilty of a misdemeanour, and in an indict ment for misdemeanour which turns out to be a felony the court may order another indictment. By this Act the sec tions in the 7th of William IV. and 'he lei. of Victoria, which allowed a person indicted for a felony to be found guilty of an assault, is repealed, in consequence of the great difficulties as in the remarkable case of the Birds) which have arisen in the construction of the enactment. There is a provision in this Act authorizing any court, judge, or justice, including Bankruptcy and Insolvency and County Courts, to commit and order a prosecution for perjury. Among the improve ments effected by this Act is one enabling courts, on convic tion for certain misdemeanours, such as conspiracy, indecent assaults, &c., to add hard labour to the sentence for the whole or part of the time. The Act (14th and 15th of Vie tiiria, cap. 100) extends to all parts of the united kingdom, with the exception of Scotland.
