Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR gave notice that he should ask the .Puist , Minister of the Crown whether he had it in contemplation to provide a more convenient place for the accommodation of persons attending her Majesty's deawing-room than the present one, which ex• posed them to great danger.—(Laughter). Shortly five o'clock, at which time the House was densely crowded, Lord Palmerston entered the House, accompanied by Sir George Grey, and the Chancelle*Tfif the Exchequer, and was loudly cheered by the' :11enifie'rs 'on the Ministerial benches. There was partial satirical cheering on the Oppositioci benches. .41111.RUPOLITAN GRAVEYARDS. Lord PUDLEY S CUART rose amidst considerable laughter to put the following questions:—What was to be done with. the graveyards of the different parishes after,they'shall have been closed under the Metropolitan Intermeats Bill, who is to have the control of them, and wl<° i, to bear any expense relating to them? hir G. GREY replied that they were to remain under the management and care of the existing parochial autho rities. CONTRABAND TRADE. Admiral BOWLES asked the Chancellor of the Ex chequer whether he was aware of the great increase of the cuutrab,ind trade on many puts of the cJast of the United Kingdom,and that this circumstance was generally attributccito the reduction i❑ the force admit, which had hithert) prevented the smugglers from hovering on the coast. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied that he believed a great deal of smuggling had been carried on in some parts of the coast, but it was by no means general ; but this had not Arisen from any reduction in the coast-guard service. THE AFFAIRS OF GREECE. • ; 04 , BMTEMEIsiT OF LORD JOHN RUSSELL. • lldr. ROERUCK, whose rising attracted general attention, and led to great silence among the Members, of 'then put the question of which he had given notice. I • • wish- to ask, he said, the First Lord of the Treasury, whether the Government will adopt any especial course conduct in consequence of a resolution passed in anther place on Monday last?—(Hear, hear.) Lord JOHN RUSSELL then rose and slid—Sir, the House will allow m, in consequence of the question which the Honourable and Learned Gentleman has put to me„4lna.ie a statement in reply to that ques tk3n. 1,04-upon consulting the minutes of the House .of Lords, that what took place in that House is as follows.—[The Noble Lord than read Lord Stanley's - motion as agreed to in the House of Lords on Monday night, and which it will he recollected was carried by a ,majority of 37.]-1 4 T0W 4 Sir, that resolution which I hare just read, states in substance a general proposition with r,-.....tespect to th' e r i g ht s an d d ut i es o f t h e G overnment.

Now. Sir , th n at resolution.—(Tre mendousrespcmight fairly be in that there is another question that; permit me I will go on —( Hear , hear)—and I will say the contemplation of Honourabl e Members, and that is from the whether the Government, thus l di ssenting of to conduct itself by the House of Lords, an general rule with respect refusingtodtheaw nation s laid down has b accor ding to the resolution t hateen carried, it is not their duty to resi g n the government into the hands of those who will act upon that resolu- Sir, a question of this kind naturally similar lnindnu—es(Ha reso lutions, in spirit at least, have been passed. Now, t•.cmeetro.) refer to different occasions, when 140 years ago the House of Lords came to a resolution that it: would not be consistent with the interest and honour of this country to make any peace with France, under a treaty which would restore possession of the Indies and Spain to any branch of the house of Bourbon. —(Hear, hear.) The Executive Government, in spite of the address in the House of Lords, which was carried on a division, proceeded to make a treaty with France, and that treaty left Spain and the Indies in the possession of a branch of the house of Bourbon.—(Cheers.) Not many years ago, in the month of June, 1833, no less a person than the Duke of Wellington moved an address to the Crown on the subject of the foreign policy of this coun try so far as it regarded Portugal.—(Hear, hear.) Earl Grey, in replying to the motion that was then made, is reported to have declared that he should con sider that address as a vote of censure, and as a stigma upon Government, but, nevertheless, that resolution upon a division was carried.—(Hear, hear.) Earl Grey, however, continued in the execution of the policy :that' he had previously adopted, and my Noble Friend near me declared in this House, that he should not swerve from the policy which had been thus adopted.—(Cheers.) Sir, I believe the conduct of the Executive Government in:these two cases was accord ing to the constitution of this country.—(Cheers.) And I believe that a change in the Government result ing from the resolution of the House of Lords with re spect to the conduct of the isecutive Government of this country would be contrary to the constitution of this country—(Cheers)—and while it might make great confusion in the State, it would lead to none which would not be dangerous to the House of Lords itself.—(Cheers.) I believe that placing upon the House of Lords the weight and responsibility of controlling the Executive Government of this coantry would soon place the House of Lords in a position which it had never hitherto occupied, and which it could not safely hold.—(Loud cheers.) Sir, if these are my opinions, and they certainly are, I cannot consent to surrender the reins of power in consequence of the resolution which has been arrived at by the House of Lords, but, at the same time, I will not deny that the resolution, carried as it -has been, is a matter of great importance.—(Hear, hear.) I will not deny that it will deeply affect the conduct of foreign powers, but, Sir, the remedy, I should have thought, were it not for certain circumstances, was easy and obvious.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Gentleman the Member for Buckingham, who lately interrogated me, is himself in close political and party connexion with the Noble Lord who is reported to have made this motion in the other House of Parliament. If he had given notice of some motion in this House, the House could then have decided on the merits of that motion (Hear, hear) and if they had agreed with the House of Lords, they could have no doubt or hesitation as to the course which her Majesty's Government should have pursued.—(Cheers.) But, Sir, by the fair and honourable interpretation of the conduct of the Hon. Gentleman, and of those who act with him, if they bad believed in the soundness of that resolution they would no doubt have thought it their duty to bring forward that resolution in this House, in which, besides its being the House where all the administration of the Crown is con trolled and advised, there is this obvious advantage, that in this House sits the Minister who is charged with the affairs of that department.—(Loud cheers.) But there is an honourable explanation of such conduct, and such explanation no doubt is, that those who share the general political opinions of the Noble Lord whom I have mentioned, do not share in the view he takes with respect to the affairs of Greece, and the general foreign policy of the Government.—(No, no.) If they had agreed with him there would be no excuse for allowing my Noble Friend to make his own defence in this House.—(Cheers.) But if that is the case, I can only say the Government shall continue in the course that we have hitherto followed with respect to our foreign po licy. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman (Mr. Roebuck), if he wishes to make any motion:on this subject, shall have the earliest possible day which can be given for that purpose; but so long as we continue in the Govermnent of this country I can answer for my Noble Friend that he will not act as the Minister of Austria or of France—(Cheers)—or any other country, but as the Minister of England.—(Renewed cheers.) The honour of England and the interests of England—such are the matters within our keeping, and it is to those interests and that honour that our efforts will in future be, as they have hitherto been, directed.—(The Noble Lord resumed his seat amidst loud cheers.) Mr. DISRAELI said, as there was no question before the House, he wished, with the permission of the House, , to make an answer to the insinuation which the Noble Lord had thrown out, to the effect that he (Mr. Disraeli) nor any other Gentleman had brought , forward any motion on the question which had recently engaged the attention of the House of Lords, when the Noble Lord at the head of the depart ment of Foreign Affairs might have had an opportunity of defending himself. He (gr. Disraeli) would in form the House why that question kad not been brought forward in that House. They would have been told, as they hid ever been told, that the negotiations were pend ing, and then any discussion would have been deprecated on the subject. In another place that deprecation was made on this very subject by her Majesty's Ministers. Her Majesty's Ministers could not sing one song in one place and another :in this House. If that question had been deprecated in the House of Lords because nego- House, if the question had been mooted in this nations were pending, of course that objection would have bean made, as it had always been made.— (Cries of " Hear, hear.") He begged leave to inform the Noble Lord that he had been very imperfectly informed as to the relations between Gentlemen in this House and the other House of Parliament, and as to the amount of sympathy between them. Although the Noble Lord will not come forward himself to ask the verdict of the House—(Cheers)—but has conveniently thrown out a bipt of the obvious and honoured machinery already existing, he could'as sure the Noble:Lord that when the question was t sally brought before the House, that he (Mr. Disraeli) should be prepared to uphold the decision of the other House. Mr. ROEBUCK said that, sot entirely agreeing with the constitutional doctrine of the Noble Lord, ho would propose a resolution to-morrow according to the terms in which the Noble Lord had suggested, because ho himself wished to test the sense of the people of this country on the foreign policy of Government, and with the permission of the iNhobaltethLeorpdr,ihneawooeualdwmhioevhe followinghthaever esolution ragulated hitherto •. t — he foreign policy of her Majesty's Government are such as were required to preserve untarnished the honour and dignity of this country, and at all times best calculated to maintain peace between, this country and the various nations of the world. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that to-morrow night the Government had given notice of a vote of supply, but he should be very glad to waive the orders of the day in order to afford an opportunity fur the discussion of the question. _ _ Mr. bISRAELI suggested that the motion should be postponed until Monday. He was sure the Noble Lord would not wish to take the House by suprise. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he was quite ready that the motion should come on at the earliest opportu nity possible; but if the Hon. and Learned Gentleman was quite willing he should have no objection to the motion being postponed till Monday. Mr. ROEBUCK said that so great was his desire that this subject should be perfectly and fairly discussed in that House, that he thought it due to the House to defer the motion till Monday. The matter then dropped. DELIVERY OF LETTERS AND, NEWSPAPERS ON SUNDAY. Mr. LOCKE rose to ask the Government whether, in regard to the recent decision respecting the non-delivery of letters on Sundays, there would be any objection, within certain preicribed hours, to allow parties to ob tain their letters on personal application being made for them. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER was un derstood to say that he could not answer the question. Mr. W. J. FOX said that ho had just learned that the newspapers of the metropblis had been informed only this afternoon that the usual facilities would not be afforded them next Sunday for the delivery of their parcels, and he wished to know whether it would not be Possible to afford them a little longer time to make their preparations for this change? The that h e CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sa id could not hold out any hopes of any such delay. He had not the slightest doubt, and he had stated it at the time, that the recent decision of the :liouse-viii9u/sC, lead to great inconvenience, and he Watig - tAtd to ye that Hon. Members were beginning to find* out, and he hoped in due time that they would arrive at such-ri gate a ' reconsideration oi their of mind as to lead them to late decision.—(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. LOCKE gave notice that he should, on an easty day, call the attention of the House to the effects of its late decision with respect to the non -delivery of letters on Sundays, with vi e w to the re versal of it THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JUNE 20, 1850. GREECE. Letters'of the Bth inst., from Athens, announce the return of the King and Queen of Greece from a visit to the Greek islands, in the French steamer Vauban, placed at their disposal by M. Thouvenel. IRELAND. MURDER IN THE COUN IT OF DOWN. DUBLIN, WEDNESDAY.—The Belfast papers bring accounts of a shocking murder which was perpetrated on Sunday last in the county of Down. " The victim of this diabolical act (says the Northern Whig) is James Nocher, of Drumaness, a most inoffen sive and respectable farmer, who has resided in that neighbourhood for many years. The murder took place on Sunday morning, about four o'clock. The particu lars, as far as we have been able to glean them, are these:—The unfortunate deceased had lately accepted the office of gamekeeper to the Rev. W. B. Forde, of Seaford, from which a man named M'Cartan had been dismissed. He went out about two o'clock on the morning in question to prevent poaching on the estate, and when he was on his way home he was shot at a place called the Eleven Acres, near the house of a man named Darby Morgan. Nocher was found dead at Morgan's house, and the account which the inmates give is that he came there, stating that ho had been shot in the valley, and got a drink of buttermilk. The Rev. Mr. Forde, with the police, examined the spot, and,• from tha slugs and wadding found on , the load:and* at the wall nearly facing the house, they are of opinion that the fatal shot or shots must have either been fired from Morgan's house, or from behind a wall beside it. The unfortunate man's body presented a horrible spec tacle, having been almost riddled with slugs horn the head to the stomach. The doctor who examined the body stated that death must have occurred almost in stantaneously, as the deceased was shot through the heart. A yowl: man, named Davy, a nephew to the former gamekeeper, and several others, have bee❑ ar rested on suspicion. It is right to state that the police searched the house of the former gamekeeper, in which they found a gun and pistol, which were quite dusty, *act had not been recently in use. An inquest was held on the body yesterday, but we have not obtained parti culars. Nocher has left a wife and five children to lament his loss."

Yesterday a special general meeting of the share holders in this company was held at the London Tavern. Mr. DAKIN, who presided, stated that on Rimier oc casions the directors had addressed their constituents in terms of hope and confident expectatiou r —now they spoke to them in the language of certainty and success. They had gone through a series of Parliamentary struggles, and had come out conquerors. The recent decision of the Committee of the House of Commons was the restriction of the capital of the company, nominally to 150,0004, but the company was empowered to borrow an additional 50,0001. The Committee had also modified the plan which the company originally proposed of supplying the eastern districts of London with gas. The Bill had gone up to the Lords, and had been read a first time, and he (the Chairman) thought it necessary to state that they had sufficient influence in that House to prevent the company being taken by surprise by the opposing parties. As additional funds were required, it was suggested that gentlemen who wished to become directors should qualify themselves by taking additional shares, but that question would be left to the discretion of the proprietors. Mr. PEARSON, M.P., congratulated the shareholders on the fulfilment of the promises held out by the pro moters of the company. Mr. D. W. Wilts: read the heads of the Bill as modi fied in Committee; after which Mr. VIRTUE moved, and Mr. CANTON seconded, resolution to, the effect that the sharehOlders having heard read the modifications, requested the directors earnestly to promote the Bill till it should become the law of the land. On • the motion of Mr. SARBY, seconded by Mr. TIisuLLAND, a vote of confidence in the directors was agreed to, and the shareholders pledged themselves to pay up at once the remaining instalments on their shares. It was also resolved, after some discussion, that for the present no alteration should be made in the qualifi cation of the directors, A vote of thanks to the Chairman closed the pro ceedings. HOP INTELLIGENCE. M kinsToNz.—The last few nights have been very cold ; on that of Saturday we had a slight frost. The bines, however, do not seem to have been checked by this circumstance, but appear to grow as rapidly, and to look as vigorous as ever. Had the soil been wet, instead cf in its present dry state, the cold nights w ou ld, d ou b t l ess, have much checked them. The fly has increased, and may now be found, pretty generally, one or two upon a leaf, and in some in stances more. The blues, however, got a good start, and will probably distance their insect foes, unless the latter increase faster than they have within the Past week. Then, again, the very unusual number of fly goldinga, which have been visible all the spring in every cleft of the fences, will also come to the aid of the bine, and probably much diminish the first generations of the aphides. The general aspect of the plantation so far is encouraging. .9' ; WltoTnAm.—The bine in this parish is looking very healthy and growing fast, but the grounds which were cut up last year are looking weak. At present we are tolerably free from vermin. HADLOW.—The hops are doing very well, though not quite free from vermin. IVe find two or three fly on a leaf in some grounds. HORSMONDEN. — The hop bines in this parish are in a very flourishing state, and are quite clear of vermin. MEREWORTEL—The hop bine in this parish is looking promising, although there are some backward. The sprinkle of fly continues. The late few cold days and nights have given the leaves rather a yellow tinge. There are some difficulties for them to en counter yet, the mould having made its appearance. WATERINDUIT AND TESTON.—The hops in these parishes are looking extremely well, are very free from vermin, and the bine grows extremely luxuri antly. LIOLLINGDOURNE.-Our hops are looking very healthy. A few fly have made their appearance. 'WITHAM AND SEAL.—The bine in this district is looking healthy and growing fast, with scarcely any fly ; not more than one being found on a leaf in the most sheltered situations. ROLVENDEN.—The bines in this parish are growing very fast. We have a little fly, but none to hurt at present. A good crop is anticipated. TENTERDEN. — The hops are looking remarkably has as yet well, appeared. u are Nn R growingwG space, and ver y littl e , if an y, fly W ELL9.—The bine grows vigorously, in most grounds topping the poles. We have little or no fly at present. EDENBRIDGE.—The bine grows very fast at pre sent, and in general has a very favourable appearance.

(From the Return of the Registrar-General.) In inthe week endi ng l ast Saturday the deaths regis tered the metropolitan districts were 800. Taking the 10 corresponding weeks of 1840-9, it appears that the deaths were never lower than 750, which occurred in 1841, when the population was less than at pre sent; and that they rose in 1848 to 1,000. The average of the 10 wee k s i s 8 51 , or, ra i se d i u propor tion toincrease of population, 928 ; there was, there fore, a .decrease last w eek on the corrected average amounting to 128. In the symotic or epidemic class of diseases the deaths enumerated were 167 ; and of special complaints which it comprises, small-pox was fatal to 9 child ren, an d scar l at i na to 19, b oth st i ll considerably ug. under the average ; measles was fatal to cough to 30, both of which are near the usual amount. Typh us , on th e o th er h an d, seems to prevail more fatally ; in the last three weeks it car ried off successively 26, 39, and 43 persons, and has now risen rather above the av erage of th e 10 corresponding i weeks, n which it varied from 17 to 69. One person died of ague and 2 of remittent fever ; 2 of influenza and lof purpura. On the sth of June, at 13, Tys sen-street, Bethnal- green, the son of a comb-maker, aged 2 years, died of cholera after 53 hours' illness. Diarrhcsa and dysentery were fatal to 18 persons, all except 5 having been children ; this is not quite equal to the number registered in the same week of 1847-9; in the corresponding week of last year 38 deaths occurred from the two complaints, and at the same time 42 were caused by cholera. Last week 10 women died after childbirth, in 6of which cases puerperal fever was the cause of death. Diseases' of the respiratory organs, exclusive of consumption, were fatal in 92 cases ; their gradual decline as the temperature increases is shown by the numbers re turned in the last five weeks, namely, 145, 138, 105, 94, and 92. The mortality of consumption is still below the average ; the number of fatal cases last week was 129. Five women were registered last week who had reached 90 years of age or upwards. On the 10th of June, at 5, Britannia-gardens, St. Mary, Marylebone, the widow of a labourer died from "decay of nature," after having lived, if such state. ments, without the corroboration of registers of births or baptisms, can be credited, to the extraordinary age of 110 years and 5 months. Her name was Catherine O'Flaherty ; she was a native of Claymorris, of the county of Mayo, in Ireland, and " continued," a dd s i Mr. Martin, the registrar, " n full possession of her faculties, and two days before her death could thread a needle without the aid of spectacles." Her son, who made this statement to him, is a labourer, and is 67 years old. A woman, aged 40, died in the London Hospital, to which she had been brought from Bow, of " inflammation of the arm from the sting of a bee." A young woman was found dead in a dust bin, from suffocation produced by a fall under the influence of what the coroner's jury describe as an "alcoholic fluid." Four children were suffocated in bed.

CEREMONY OF LAYING THE FOUNDATION STONE OF THE CHAPEL AND SCHOOL AT GELLYGAER. - TO THE EDITOR OF THE CARNARVON HERALD. Sir,—The accession of Dr. 011ivant to the Bishopric of Llandaff occurred at a period when several interest ing events awaited the presence of the Lord Bishop for their successful completion. It took place, also, at a juncture when the clergy and laity were earnestly dis cussing the necessity of some one being elevated to the prelacy acquainted with the language chiefly spoken in the diocese. "At half-past ten o'clock, Divine service was read in Welsh, in the parish church, by the rector; after which the Bishop preached in Welsh, from the Ist and 2d 'verses of the 127th Psalm. _ . "Mr. George Thomas read an address in Welsh to the Bishop, earnestly thanking his Lordship for the part be had taken in that day's service. " His Lordship expressing himself too diffident as to his acquaintance with the Welsh language yet to at tempt an impromptu address in that tongue, acknow ledged the c omp li ment wh i ch h a d b een paid hi m i n English ! !" The above ex t ract from the Alonmouthshire Merlin, and Merthyr G uardian South Wales papers , will best prove that th e N ew bishop of Llandaff is net " master , of the Wel s h language," which was so positively as serted when the Premier determined to have him ele vated to the . bishopric of Llandaff, and so flatly contradicted in these columns, by those who, it appears, were well informed on the subject. We leave it to our readers to devise how it is possible for the Bishop of Llandaff, or any other man, to compose and write a sermon which ho read himself, and yet be unable to reply to a simple Welsh address, which he honestly confessed he was totally unable to do. What would be said in England of the appointment of a bishop, or any other divine, who, after preiching an English set- 1 mon from the 'p u lpi t , d ec l a red he would only answ er an English add ress i n W e l s h? But it appears wh ere Wales is Conc erne d, any qualification will do, no matter how well known the deficiency, or how public the failure. It will now be seen the letter addressed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, which first appeared in The Sun, b e f ore the B i sho p of Llandaff's consecra tion, to p ro t est against hi s b e i n g installed with ou t exa mination as to the truth of his being " master of th e Welsh l anguage, " was written with reason ; but, of course, the • suggest i on was no t attended to, b ecause i t would have proved that the great boon Lord J. Russell was affecting to give Wales, and which some of our simple-hearted countrymen were about to thank him fur on trust, was a mere hoax, and a trial of their credulity. We sub,oin Mr. Thomas's address in Welsh, to which the Bi shop, after preaching a Welsh sermon, professed his inability to reply:— " EY'ra Arglwydd Esgob, brodyr parchedig, pl wy filion yn gyffiedin,—Mae genym ni echos i lud yn ddiolcbgar, ac i lawenhatt fod yr eraser wedi dyfod, a'r acblysur wedi digwydd i ni gael y fraint i wrau d o e i n E sgo b yn Ilefaru y n eg l wys ein plwyf yn yr i a i t h Gymraeg.

Among the visitors connected with literature and the arts, &c., the names of the following eminent per sons may be mentioned :—Dr. Waagen, the eminent German archaeologist ; M. Passavant, the biographer of Raffaelle ; Mr. Prescott, the American historian, with his lady ; Mr. Hallam, Sir Robert Throck morton, the Rev. J. Hamilton Gray, and Mrs. H.

The tombs of Thomas Chaucer and of the Duchess of Suffolk, his daughter, are both in Ewelme Church. Thursday, being the anniversary of the Queen's accession, is a public holiday. The Bodleian will be closed, but the picture gallery will be open, and there will be a soirée at the Town-hall at S P.M. The meeting at the Town-hull last evening to hear the paper on the University;Church of St. Mary's, by the Rev. Dr. Harington, the Principal of Brazenoze College, was attended by a very numerous audience, including many heads of houses, Professors, and dis tinguished strangers. The Principal's communica tion was listened to with the utmost attention through out, showing the lively and increasing interest taken in such subjects. After the conclusion of the paper, The Marquis of NORTHAMPTON requested, that if any gentleman wished to make any observations he would do so, upon which Mr. FREEMAN, of Trinity College, rose and made a few remarks. Many of the company then withdrew to partake of coffee in the adjoining council-chamber. Mr. Watts, a young artist of distinguished talents, has been engaged by the Curators of Sir Robert Taylor's Institution to execute a fresco painting on the ceiling of the library of that institution. Mr. Watts, it is said, so great is the confidence reposed in his powers of judgment as well as artistic fancy and elegance of design, has been left entirely free to follow the bent of his own inventive genius on this occasion. TATTERSALL'S-THIS EVENING ►SIX o'CLocx No business doing. THEATRE ROYAL DUBLIN. On Thursday evening the operatic company engaged for ten nights separated. The vocal artistes constituting this company are distinguished by the possession of considerable natural abilities ;and musical talent of a high order. The prima donna, Miss Louisa Pyne, has been for some time known to our musical public through report, which has spoken is high terms of her perform ance. Mr. and Mrs. Weiss have been identified with some of the most successful musical pieces produced at the Princesses Theatre, in London. We need not speak of the sweet and powerful tenor of Mr. Harrison, nor of the rich and resonant basso of Mr. Henry CorH. These artistes, with a well-selected chorus, and an or chestra under the leadership of our tasteful and talented townsman, Levey, constitute the materiel of the corps. The opera was Balfe's Bohemian Girl, and it is but justice to!say that it was rendered both ably and effect ively. Miss Pyne's reception was flattering and en couraging, and before the conclusion of the first act she had drawn down repeated bursts of applause. Her:Arline was w i very tasteful piece of acting. Her voice is clear and sweetly toned, and her management of it evinces a high amount of musical skill. Her rendering of the favourite air, " I dreamt that I dwelt in marble halls," was touchingly sweet. She was greeted with frequent plaudits. Mrs. Weiss was admirable as the Gipsy Queen, and her style of vocalism is extremely pleasing. Our favourite, Harrison, was received with a warm wel come. He sang the several sweet airs incidental to his part with a spirit that brought down enthusiastic ap plause. His really fine tenor seems improved in clear ness, sweetness, and flexibility since we last heard him. Mr. Weiss sustained the part of Count Arnheim with credit, and H. Corri fully justified the repeated plaudits he received by bis admirable acting and fine basso voice in the role of Devilshoof. The choruses were fairly enough sustained, and the opera went off smoothly, amidst the plaudits of the audience.—Dublin Evening Packet, June 15. COXTICT EsTABLISHMENT AT DARTMOOR.—We last week stated that Colonel Jebb, the Inspector-General of Prisons, accompanied by Captain Groves, inspected the Dart moor Prisons, which have remained useless since they were employed for the confinement of prisoners in 1814. We understand these gentlemen have most favourably recom mended these prisons as a place of confinement for convicts, and that preparations for the reception of 500 are to be forthwith made. This opinion was the more readily adopted, in consequence of the result of an Interview which Colonel Jebb had, at the request of Sir George Grey, with Mr. Fowler, who carries on extensive, and, it is said, profitable farming operations on Dartmoor. It is intended that the convicts shall be employed in agricultural labour. About one moiety of the prisons will be required; the other half is in the occupation of a local naptha company, who have re cently sold their interest to the Messrs. Hill, of Deptford, large manufacturers of naptha, who will keep the works at Prince Town in full operation.—Devonpor. Independent. FALMOUTH, JUNE 19.—Wind variable.—Arrd. Doris, Collemdt, Bahia. Off port, Good Luck, de Gruchy, Buenos Ayres, and sailed for Liverpool. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. LAMBETH. Mr. Henry Page, a master bricklayer, who had been in custody since Monday, was placed at the bar on a charge of administering something of a delete rous nature to Mrs. Emma Clark, and also contract ing a marriage with her, she being at the time a mar ried woman, so that they committed a double act of bigamy. Mrs. Clark, a sickly looking woman, upon being sworn deposed,, that she li ve d w ith her husband, Henry Clark, at No. 10, Joiner-street, Westminster road, and had known the prisoner several years. About two months ago she made known to the pri soner that she should inform her husband that she had married him two years ago, if he did not keep away from her, and he then told her that her hus band should never have her • that his brother was laying a pl o t f or a l a d y , and that if she could be got out of the way he would be safe. Last Thursday, about 12 o'clock, her uncle, whose name is Fielder, came to her husband's house, and requested her to accompany him to the Carpenter's Arms, near %Vest-square. She did so, and there saw the prisoner, and Fielder, in his presence, addressing her, said, "Now, I want you to make up your mind as to matters ; whether you are going to live with your husband, or whether you are going abroad with Mr. Pager" but she could not recollect then what she said in rerily. They went from there to a beer-shop, and all three sat there for about an hour, and from there they came back to the Two Eagles public-house, near West-square, where they had dinner, and there her uncle Fielder left them, saying he should leave them to settle the mat ter as to what they would do. The prisoner took her from there to the Ship public-house, near Walcot square, where they had a pint of beer in the tap room. They went from there to a coffee-house, where they had some tea. While in this place the prisoner said, "It don't lie in my power to take you abroad ; will you go with me down to Liverpool ?" and she replied that she did not mind. He then told her she must go home and get her things. At the coffee-house the woman of the house brought the teapot to her, (witness,) and desired her to pour the water into it, and she did so. Soon after she poured out a cup for herself and one for the pri soner, but was unable to say whether he had drunk his or not. She left tne prisoner for the purpose of going home to get her things, and intending to meet him at the Flowerpot, in Bishop:gate-street, as it was arranged. On leaving her husband's house, and while on her way to Lambeth-stairs to proceed to London-bridge by water, she felt a curious sensation come over her, and so completely lost her senses that she had no recollection of what happened to her until next day. In reply to the questions of M. ELLIOTT, the wit ness said she bad drunk a good deal of ale and beer, and two glasses of gin, and so lost herself at Lam beth-pier that she wandered about all that night, and did not get home until next day, when she was in a state of madness. In her cross-examination by Mr. Solomons, who attended for the prisoner, the witness said she first became acquainted with the prisoner about four years ago. She had been ailing before Thursday last, but neither her illness nor the beer and gin she had drunk would produce the effects which she had experienced. the did not feel ill until after she had taken the tea, and when leaving the prisoner he gave her ss. to get her things and enable her to get to the Flowerpot, where the prisoner was to have met her. She was not taken ill so as to lose her senses until she had reached Lambeth pier. She did not vomit, and did not think that her illness was produced by the gin and beer she had taken. She had two children, and, notwithstanding this, she had made up her mind to abscond from her husband and desert her two children. Clark, the husband of the last witness, said he had not seen his wife from the Thursday morning until the Friday evening, when he found her at his house, raving mad. He fetched a doctor to her, and she afterwards told him that she had been married on the 10th of February, 1848, to the prisoner, at Poplar Church. Mary King said she attended Mrs. Clark on Fri day last, when she first saw her in a state of madness, and then in a state of stupor, and by the advice of the doctor they were obliged to keep her walking about Mr. Thomas D. Donohoe, surgeon, Westminster road, deposed that about half-past ten o'clock on Friday night last he was called in to Mrs. Clark, and found her in a state of stupor, from the effects of opium. He did not think it necessary to use the stomach-pump, as it was evident that the poisonous matter had been taken some time, so as to effect the system, and recommended that she should be kept moving about, and take some strong coffee. He did not think that gin or beer would produce the ap pearances under which Mrs. Clark laboured when he saw her ; and it was his opinion that she must have taken some opium ; it might have been an hour or two before. Mr. Solomons here requested the prosecutrix to be recalled, and in reply to his questions she said that she did not observe the prisoner interfere in making the tea, and she could not say that he had not taken the cup she had poured out for him. The time she had left the prisoner was about half-past eight o'clock nn the Thursday, and the time she had ap pointed to meet him at the Flowerpot was ten o'clock. Mr. Solomons —Has the prisoner ever slept at the house of your husband, and with his consent ? Wit ness—Yes, sir. Mr. Solornons—Has he not slept in the very room in which yourself and your husband also slept ? Witness—Yes, once ; when he said his wife turned him out of doors. I had made up my mind to go to Liverpool with the prisoner. Mr. ELLIOTT thought there was an end of the case as regarded the charge of poisoning, and desired that Mrs. Clark should be placed in the dock along side the prisoner on a charge of bigamy, as it was quite clear she was as guilty of the charge of bigamy as he was. Mrs. Clark was accordingly placed at the bar, and instantly entered into a whispering conversation with her fellow-prisoner; but the magistrate desired they should be kept apart. D. Brions, 120 M, deposed that after the prisoner had been given into his custody by Mr. Clark, he called to see Mrs. Clark, and ascertain if she was in a fit state to attend at this court, and found that she was not. She was in bed, and informed him (witness) that she had been married to the male prisoner on the 10th of February, 1848, at All Saints Church, Poplar, in the name of Emma Smith, and that the clerk and pew-opener were the two witnesses. Mr. John Philo, clerk at All Saints Church, Poplar, produced the register of marriages there ; and, on the 10th of February, 1848, there appeared an entry of marriage between Harry Dixon and Emma Smith, which was witnessed by himself and Frances Baggis, who was then pew-opener, but was since dead. He could not identify the prisoners as the persons who had been married on that particular day, but had no doubt whatever that they had been married at Poplar Church. Mr. Solomons contended, that inasmuch as the per sons were married at the time the marriage was a perfect nullity. Mr. ELLIOTT observed that this might be with re spect to the legality of the marriage, but it did not disprove the charge of bigamy. The case, he ad mitted. was one of a very peculiar character; and, in order to give the officers further time to collect the necessary evidence, he should remand the prisoners for a week. On the application of Mr. Solomons, the male pri Boner was admitted to bail. IWARLBOROUGH-STREET. IMPUDENT ROBBERY.- Ann Ellis and Mary Arai Sheen were placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing from the person of Elizabeth Jelly a purse, containing a sovereign and 7s. 6d. in silver. The prosecutrix deposed, that she was a servant, and resided at No. 4, Langham-place. On the previous evening, " about eight o'clock, she was leaving her master's house, when the two prisoners came up a❑d asked her the way to the British Museum. She directed them as well as she could, and while speaking to them she felt the prisoner Ellis withdraw her hand quickly from her pocket. Not suspecting anything wrong, she took not the slightest notice of this, but on the prisoners suddenly running off she was induced to feel in her pocket, when she found that her purse, containing 11. 7s. 6d., had been abstracted there from. She immediately went in pursuit of the prisoners, and at the corner of Chandos-street she saw them talk ing to a man. Directly they saw her they separated, and the two prisoners darted down Chandos-mews, where she lost sight of them; but while she was inquir ing of some stable-men whether they had seen them, she saw them coming from an entry leading to some rooms. She immediately went and taxed them with robbing her, which they stoutly denied. As she was positive they had stolen her purse, she called a constable, and gave them in charge. Neither the purse nor the money has been found. The prisoners, who are connected with the swell mob, were remanded. SINGULAR CHARGE OF THEFT.— Charles Jones was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with stealing a horse and cab from a cab-rank in Oxford street, under the following circumstances:— Jetnes Hartland, a cab-driver, stated that yesterday morning, about two o'clock, he had occasion to leave his horse and cab on the rank in Oxford-street for about three minutes, and on his return he found that some person had driven away with it. He made inquiries of the other cabmen, and from the information he received from them he was induced to proceed to the Haymarket, where he saw the prisoner on the box of his (witness's) cab, plying for hire. Directly the prisoner caught sight of him h• jumped off the cab, and ran away as fast as he could down Piccadilly. Witness jumped on the box of the cab, and drove after him as far as the White Horse Cellar, where he was stopped by a police-constable. Witness then gave him in charge fur stealing his horse and cab. The prisoner, in defence, said he was hard up for the want of bread, and seeing the complainant's cab was un attended, he thought he might borrow it for an hour or so, in order to raise a shilling for his family. As there are other cases of a similar nature against the prisoner, Mr. Bingham decided on remanding him till Monday next. FROM THE LONDON GAZETTE OF TUESDAY. r DIVIDENDS.

On the motion for the second reading of thia Bill, Mr. RICARDO wished to inquire in what form the Bill was to be brought forward on this second reading ? Mr. LABOUCHERE said he would take an oppor tunity of stating the new provisions in the Bill. In answer to Mr. HUME, Mr. LABOUCHERE said that the alterations in the Bill were only on the mode of carrying out its objects, and did not affect its principle. Mr. HERRIES presented several petitions against the Bill, and suggested that the second reading should be delayed owing to the great alterations which bad been made in the measure since it was last before the House. After a short discussion, Mr. LABOUGHERE rose to move the second read ing of the Bill, and said, although the subject to which it related did not posse ss an y topic of interest connected with party struggles, yet it was of the grea test conse quence t o one of the most important interests in the c ountry ; and he threw himself on the Indul; genre of the House while he stated the alterations which he proposed to make in tile 13111. The Roues would recollect that he stated on a previous occasion, that while the Government would firmly adhere to what they believed the essential principles of the measure, yet with regard to the machinery by which those principles were to be carried out, they were anxious to obtain the support of the great body of the shipping interest of this country; and ho was now in a condition to assure the House that he proposed the second reading with the cordial approbation of that in terest, not only in regard to the object of the measure, but also with reference to the mode in which it was to be carried out. The first principle of the Bill was to put an end to the indiscriminate discharge of mates and masters of vessels that had hitherto taken place ; the second was to put an end to the system of cflmping which had been a disgrace to the naval service of the country; and the third object of the mea • sure was to place the discipline of the merchant service of this conntry upon a much better footing. Not only the shipowners, but he believed the whole of • the merchant service were in favour of the Bill. It had been said that the great objection to the Bill was, that its operation was too much in favour of centralization. He had felt the weight of that objection, and proposed to remedy it by the amendments on the measure he intended to propose. He proposed to institute local boards in all ports that were registered to the extent of 30,000 tons on the shipping of goods. He also proposed to appoint shipping officers, whose salaries were to be regulated by the Board of Trade. He proposed to give to the local board a concurrent jurisdic tion with the Board of Trade relative to the conduct of captains of vessels. With respect to the coasting trade, he did not propose that it should be necessary for vessels in that trade to have captains that had passed an examination as was necessary in the other branch of the service. The Right Hon. Gentleman, after referring at some length to the alterations he pro posed in the measure, concluded by moving the second reading of the Bill. Mr. HUME had heard but very imperfectly the state ment of the Right Hon. Gentleman, but he ngreed with him that the system upon which our maritime law was founded was complicated and confused. (Hear, hear.) The various acts which bore upon it ought to be collected and consolidated, that was the opinion of the commercial interest :itself and he regretted that this coursoihad not been adopted in prefer ence to introducing the Bill. (Hear, hear.) He, how ever, suggested that the Bill should be delayed, in order that the new clauses should be printed and considered, and then it might be possible so to frame the Bill in com mittee as to make it desirable to adopt it for a few months. He therefore proposed, without condemning the prin ciple of the Bill, that this debate should be adjourned till to-morrow week.—(Hear, hear.) Admiral BOWLES hoped the Hon. Member would not press his amendment, for at this period of the ses sion it was quite usless to delay a Bill for a week with any hope of afterwards carrying it through. He knew from experience that this Bill was desired by the maritime body, and he hoped it would be passed at once.—(Hear.) Mr. HERMES rose to support the amendment, and was (LEFT SPEAKING.) FRANCE. The lndependance of Brussels publishes the follow ing from its Paris correspondent :—" The all-absorb ing question is still and more than ever that of the dotation. The President says nothing; but, to make up for his silence, those by whom he is surrounded speak for him. It is said, at the Elysee, that the Prince has only one course to pursue, since the majority abandons him, and that is -Ist, to choose a blue ministry ; 2, to accept the resignation of General Changarnier, and to re place him by an insignificant but devoted person ; 3d, to go forward. As the prudent appear to doubt the majority, the bold reply that, in case of refusal ok co-operation, it must be got rid of making an appeal to the country. Dif ficulties are far from being smoothed down, but hope is not yet lost. I can guarantee you the following fact :—King Louis Philippe warmly and loudly blames the conduct of the Conservative party in this , affair. He sees nothing in it but an in trigue. 'ltis a political absurdity,' he says. The same quarrel is renewed with the President as took place on the subject of the dotation of my chil dren. Experience is of no avail. The services which the President renders to society are forgotten, and a haggle is made with him about his dotation. They will repent of it.' Since lam speaking to you of the King Louis Philippe, I may say that his health is much improved. M. Thiers met with a very warirs welcome. I will shortly give you circumstantial and authentic details on the sub ject ; in the meatime I will repeat that Louis Philippe has positively said that he wishes for a fusion. The Princes seldom express their opinion, with the excep tion of the Duke de Nemours, who speaks a little be cause he knows that the King likes him to do so. The Duchess of Orleans is little favourable to the measure, but she explains herself with reserve, and with a kind of indecision."
