kaolin 11 so be so beenslstent with the orders of the House. They ought to have held them. They were brought into this difficulty by their own conduct in not using their legi timate power. the House had really great reason to complain. Nothing could be more distinctly stated by his Hen. and Learned Friend, whoas absence they all so much regretted, the Attorney-General, and the Lord Chief Baron, followed by several others, all distinctly assuring the House, that by ap pearing and pleading, the House in no way committed its pri vileges. His Hon. and Learned Friend who spoke last, never theless stated that the House did thereby commit its privi leges. They were told, first, that they were taking a step on the most positive assurance that their privileges were not involved, and, when they had taken it, they were told that they had committed themselves. That it had been said that when once they pleaded they had submitted. Now, just let him suppose such a _question as that of a divoree or of a nullity of marriage having been pronounced by an ecclesiastical *court, would the judgment of that court be deemed sufficient before the Court of Queen's Bench, accord ing to present arguments of his Learned Friend opposite ? It certainly would not—( Hdar, hear)—and yet, let him ask, was the House prepared to follow up such a course ?—( Hear. ) Were the courts of law to be or not to be under the authority of this House ?—( Hear.) If they were not, then he would say it was the first time he ever heard it ; but if they were, then he would call on the House to support its authority.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") He had now before him an authority which he would read from, and which he believed the House would bow to ; it was one of a re cent date, and one which fully cencurrred in his views. There the Hon. Member read the extent, and then proceeded to say he conceived it fully corroborated his view of the constitutional law on this question. The case was now the same, the views of the Right Hon. Gentleman were correct, only they had done a little more wrong. But if they had done a little more wrong they should not hesitate to remedy it. Here they prepared to magnify an evil which they had carr i e d t o a cer t ain extent— much beyond its due proportions, and if so how would they proceed. A wise course should be adopted, had they refer it to a Court of Error. In such a Court they could not possibly gain any advantage, but must lose a great deal. Had they again put it to the Court of Queen's Bench, to which they had stated they did to mean to put it, hut to the Court of Error. They made a mistake then—but they were acting wrong by design now.—( Hear, hear.) The judge presumed to decide whether the House had jurisdiction in the matter or not. Would they make the matter worse by putting the question again to them ? Was there any reason in asking the judges a question which they (the House of Corn mons)said they were not competent to answer ? Suppose they affirmed the judgment? His Hon. Friend seemed to doubt that they would do so. Then let them consider what was to be done—do not let them act blindly. We should take no step which they could not ' prosecute with advantage to th public. Suppose the judgment were affirmed? They would recognise the authority of the judges by putting the question to them. But if they did not refer it to the Queen's Bench would they go to the House of Lords, 'which history showed bad occasionally interfered to stop any access of privilege claimed by the House of Commons. In the case of Sinner who brought an action against the East India Company for 1,0001., Sir John Holt, who was his counsel, was ordered to attend, and he did hot attend. The result was, that the House of Lords set up an irresponsible jurisdiction over the subject. The House of Commons interfered and prevented it. Was that: House to become subordinate to the House of Lords.— (Hear, hear.) The House of Commons was open to control, and might be dissolved and new Members elected by the people, but the House of Lords was no new body, not brought together by any new diversity of opinion, but were hereditary, and exhibited, session after session, the same union of party and of principles. The Hon. and Learned Gentleman opposite had said he did not thank the C..urt of Queen Bench would discharge upon a warrant of the House of Lords. Perhaps not at present, but let the Court of Queen's Bench go on a little further, and they would not stop at discharging upon warrants of the House of Commons. When the two Houses of Parliament separated, the two Houses retained certain functions; and, for instance, the House of Lords retained the judicial functions of Parliament. In theory the House of Commons was present in the House of Lords during the exercise of its judicial functions, and this fact lead him to the conclusion that it was an absurdity to think of appealing to the Lords in this case. Well, then, sup pose in the Court of Error the judgment was reversed, what would they gain by it ? Wby they would be establishing a precedent of a most mischievous character. They would have the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench reversed, wad there would stand epon record the fact that they had consented to enter a court of law to establish one of their privileges. But the decision of the Court of Error might reverse the judgment without declaring the Court of Queen's Bench to be in the wrong. The Court of Error might say that the warrant was good, though it had been a magistrate s warrant, and if the judgment were reversed he could not help strongly surmising that it would be upon that ground. Well. the judgment might be reversed, but he was quite certain it would not be done without some of the judges of the Court of Error agreeing in the course of reasoning adopted by some of the judges of the Court of Queen's Bench. He would, however, venture to assert what he had often done before, that if they went to the Exchequer Chamber they would only come back with a regret that they had ever been there. But they were about to adopt this course as a preli minary step to remedying a mischief they had already com• mitted by legislation, and he would ask leave to say a word or two upon what belonged to the question of legislation Suppose the House were not retained it would stand as a judgment for the future guidance of the Court : but supposing the judgment were reversed, the case would, no doubt, be carried to the Houso of Lords, who had the power of deciding the validity or equity of a decision of a court of error. Well. the Lords might decide against them, and then, without any any father appeal, where would their privilege be ?—(Hear, hear. What would be done then ? Would they pass a declaratory act of of what their Fawers and privileges were? Wei, but they hai undefined powers. How then could they explain them?—(Hoar, hear.) Well, it was evident they would ultimately have to make some stand for their prioileges, and why, could nut the stand be made now ? But a declaratory act would only weaken the privileges of Parliament, fo. at present present they rested upon prescription, and if they explained them by statute a court of law would have power to decide upon them, because it was the right of a cour t of law to construe Acts of Parliament. He warned them not to take any step founded on the prospect of future legislation. He lamented the course which that House was taking, for if they proceoued with it, that would be the last Parliament which would occupy its proper station in the country. He lamented that the Right Hon. Baronet had taken the course which he had pursued ; but, above all, he la mented that the name of . Russell should be connected with it. He implored the House to consider the course they were taking, and he trusted that the Right Hon. Baronet would review the whole matter, and not persevere in a course so detrimental to the public, and so derogatory to the dignity and character of Parliament.—( The Hon. and Learned Gentleman sat down amidst laud cheers.) _ _ trail , to the law of the land. That declaration, however, had I been set aside by judicial authorities. In the cam of the King v. Paley, the' judges had laid down doctrines which were per fectly consistent with the opinions he had expressed. He was ' not endeavouring to set the authority of the House against the jurisdiction of the Queen's Bench, but oely to question them authority as regarded their interference wito the warrants issued by the House. In the case to which he had alluded Justice Gould had said if the commitment had been made by any inferior court it would be competent for the Court of Queen's Bench to set it aside, but as the commitment had been issued by the Commons, whic hl was not amendable to any low, it could not be interfered with: Was there ever a more ex press declaration that the House of Commons was above the law? Justice Powell had said that no man ought to be taken into custody but by the law of the land ? But lex terrce was not confined to the common law, but in effect did not include the lex Parlidsmenta. The House of Commons have committed parties not under the common but by Parliamentary law, and the application to the Court was dismissed, on the ground that it was not compotent for it to in tefere in matters over which they had no jurisdiction. He would now refer to the opinion of a more eminent judge than he had yet quoted. He alluded to the late eminent Lord Tenten den, who was one of the most learned judges that ever presided in the Court of Queen's Bench. In the case of Burdet v. Abbott, which went by writ of error from that Court to the House of Lords, Lord Tenterden ruled that it was competent to this House to commit for breach of their privileges. It would appear, at first sight, that Lord Tenderden meant to apply the power of Parliament to convict only so far as its privileges were concerned. There were many cases in which that Court had refused to interfere with the asssessments pro moted by the House. In the case of the King v. Patie it had been distinctly laid down that the Court of Westminster Hall could not judge of the legality of the decisions of the House of Commons in cases of committals for contempt. Lord Tenterden had fur ther distinctly laid down this broad principle: that the courts of law could not judge of the privileges of the Parliament, and also that they could not discharge from contempt a person committed by that tribunal. Mr. Justice Blackstone had stated that the little forms of execution or precision in the mode of execution was required in carrying out the intentions of the House of Commons. It was the duty of all parties to attend to the instructions of the House without any such pro visions to which he had referred. Looking at the decision of the courts, it was clear both according to the law and reason of things that the privileges of the Heuse should be maintained. Then privileges were not given them that they should possess any particular advantages to them selves but rather to protect the public interests. The step proposed to be taken by his Hon. and Learned Friend (Sir F. Thesager), he thought was the best course to adopt at present. They then could take the case into a court of error and by that means acquire the opinion of the highest judicial authority.—(Loud cheers.) Should that be opposed to them, they could then give their best con sidtration as to the steps most prudent to be taken. In the present stage, however, he vroulld advise nothing further than an appeal from the Court of Queen's Bench to a court of error. Speaking of the judgment of Mr. Justice Wightman, he did not mean that it should be tried on any technical grounds, but that the whole scope and reasons of the judg ment should be tested fairly before the highest tribunal. To leave the question without notice as ad vised by an Hon. Member in the course of the debate, would be a dangerous policy to which he could not assent. He relied on the grounds he had stated, that the judgment should command the revision of the highest legal authorities in the realm— ( Hear, hear)—so as to satisfy the House and the public that nothing had been left undone, but that every course had been tried before considering any ulterior mea sure.—( Hear, hear.) He would not at present anticipate the Arse he would advise the House to pursue in case the decision of the judges was confirmed . He considered he was not making concession in doing doing so.—(Cheers.) With respect to what had already been done in this case, he did not see that the present Parliament was more faulty than its predecessors. In the case of Abbott v. Burdett, the House had advised to plead in 1837. In another case which then transpired, the House consented also to plead. That was in a previous Parlia ment to the present, and he believed the then Attorney-General tendered that advice to the House. The same occurred in 1849, in the case of Howard v. Gossett, that one result of which now oceupied the House. Lord Campbell, then Mr. Campbell, advised the House to plead in 1840, and on him the responsibility of thetpresent proceedings rested. The course then advised he ( Sir R. Peel) had doubts of, and he still thought the course taken bad not been a correet one. With regard to the proceedings of the House no man felt more strongly than he did that they were in agreement with the law and the constitution of the country ; but, at the same time, he must say the instru ments by which those privileges were attempted to be enforced were very dcfective.—(Cheers. ) If they once began to commit parties [they must make up their minds to have an abundant supply. Uuder all the circumstances his feelings were, that thsre was no other way to vindicate the House, and command the support and respect of the country, but by the line of proceeding he had recommended.—( Hear, hear.) Their powers were very weak. There was nothing to prevent actions being proceeded with during tho recess, their power in that case was most limited and impracticable. They committed the sheriffs, but they did not prevent the payment of the damages.—( Cries of " Hear, hear.") So it would probably be again. If they committed more officers others would be found ready to levy the damages, and unless the pub lic mind be convinced that there was no alterna tive, but, as a last resource, they had asserted their privilege by imprisonment, thkre would be no use in their doin so. The House had no resource but imprison ment. They had no power of Ailing, and they had only im prisoned insubordinates. It was impossible to deny that public sympathy was in favour of these men— ( Hear, hear)—and it would be so again under similar circumstances. It was better, he thought, to adopt even this last resource than to relinquish its privileges ; but he ad- vised them to defer doing so until they had ex hausted every other remedy. With all due respect to the Court of Queen's Bench, he must say that he thought their decision was inconsistent with reason as it had been in consistent with the previous decisions of the same court on former occasions. He repeated he was prepared to exhaust any other measure to which they would resort with any compromise of the authority or dignity of the House before he appealed to those last and ' extreme measures which might be necessary for the vindication of their privileges, but a necessity which might be averted by giving time for the further consideration of this important question.—( Cheers. ) The House then divided, when there appeared— Far the motion Against it Majority for the motion The remaining orders of the day were then disposed of, and the House adjourned at Two o'clock.

PEEL said that in the course of the Honourable and Learnsel Gentleman's speech, he had given the House a solemn exhortation that they would not adopt any step of their own inherent authority for the vindication :of their own privileges, unless they first carefully considered all the bearings of this case. He (Sir R. Peel) agreed with the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, because he thought it of the utmost importance if that House did take a step for its own authority, and to vindi cate its own privilege=, that every other course should be taken before they called on the House to vindicate its privileges by its own authority. He looked to the ime.onstitution of that House, and he saw a popular assemely divided on that question. Men of high authority were :disposed supported the authority of the courts of law, and he saw the probabiltty that a proposal to act upon their own authority would be met with great opposition. He looked back to the course which the House had actually pursued, and he saw the Noble Lord who had been responsible for the conduct of affairs prepared to vindicate the privileges of the House in which he (Sir Robert Peel) assisted the Noble Lord. He had seen the committal of the sheriffs, and had witnessed the sympathy that was evinced upon their release, and all this confirmed him in the conclusion that it was most important that their resolution to support their own privileges should be almost an unanimous one. He believed that there was yet one other course which they might pursue, without abandoning their privileges. It had been perfectly open to them, within the last three weeks to come to the resolution of vindicating their privileges, upon their own authority. They bad held the doctrine that they should defend the Sergeant at-Arms, because they wished the Court of Q ueen ' s Bench to ",,be made acquainted w ith th e fact of the privileges of that House having bsen violate& He was surprised that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman should have been one who voted fur the adjournment of that debate until a day after the day upon which the Sergeant-at-Arm s would be called upon to lay the amount of the verdict against him. Was it not then competent to the House to have state that to dispute their authority was a breach of their privileges? Was it not then competent to have passed a vote refusing to pay damages? Whereas, as he ( Sir R. Peel) had warned them, if they adjourned, the jury would have time to find a verdict, and the House be obliged to pay. If, however, they had, as he advised, without delay passed the resolution, it would have been conveyed to the judges, and they would have known that the bare entertaining the question, much more the reception of the verdict, would make them guilty of a breach of privi lege.—( Hear, hear .) But what had been the result? Th e House refused to accept his warning. Among those who re sisted it was hi. Hon. and Learned Friend opposite (Sir T. Wilde); the jury returned their verdiet, it was received, and the money had since been paid. Let them not, however, for that act commit their officer for breach of privilege. Let them be consistent, and commit the Treasury, who had paid the damages.—(Laughter.) That would be far more just than to visit with punishment their subordinate instrument. Or to push the question to its legitimate extent, would the Learned Gentleman opposite advise the committal of the judges who infringed the privileges of Parliament. The Honourable Member had referred to the resolutions of 1837, moved by the Astorney-General of the day, Lord Campbell, than whom a more determined supporter of their privileges could not be found, and the Noble Lord (J. Russell) had ex pressed opinions, in which he heartily concurred ; influenced by the same mo ives, he could never advise the House to enter upon a control of such a decided nature, as recommended by many, until he saw unanimity, or, at least, a vast majority in the House, seconding the step. Jt had been said that that House ought to influence public opinion, but if a powerful minority opposing, backed the feeling, but too palpable in the country, the experiment would be most dangerous. It would not do, by a majority of eight or ten, for the Govern ment to undertake the summary vindication of the privileges of Parliament, and the House and country together 111U34 unani mously come to a determination cordially to sup port the course . There must he no levee s a tt en di ng Sheriffs, no sympathy with the infringers of their priv ileges , there must be a feeling both in and ou t o f the House in favour of the rights of the Commons of England,—( Hear, hear.) It had been recommended that the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench should be left unquestioned, but the reason assigned for that course was the v ery strongest argument not to leave it i n that unsatisfactory state. The Lear ne d Member (Sir T. o W pi i n ld io e n ) s w a h id ich th jatud M r. ge Justice Wightman had delivered o n e Coleridge had destroyed, a n d th a t L or d Denman had, in ti me , hiv destroyed that o f J u d ge C o l er id ge. Could a more powerful reason be given f or appealing to a fin a l tribunal, or for antici pating asking t he reversal of such conflicting opinions. And, sur e ly , by gi the Cou r t b e l ow were of right in entertaining the va lidi t y the warrant, was no re cognition of the judge's authority, where the greater the h discussion con cession in putting the question than in a llow ing of their plea? He agreed with the Noble ro a rd for London, as well as with the concurrent senti m en t s t h e M ember Learned Member (Sir T. Wilde) who had last . the Mouse, that as to upholding and vindicating their p rivi l eges, it was essential to the proper administration of Parliament. He would contend that the House of Commons, even without a warrant was competent to arrest any individual and bring him before the bar of the House. He thought it was a power necessarily inherent in them, and to question that power wa s t o doubt the privileges , without which their power of rendering service to their country would be altogether destroyed. The judges on all former occasi ons had distinctly declared that power existed. The judgment of the Court of Quee n' s Bench was very di ff erent from the opi nions of j udges expressed years ago. Hie Hon. Friend the Member for Cambridge had sain that no court of law for the last 1.50 years had questioned the right of the House of Commons to commit for contempt. He (Sir R. Peel) was not sufficiently satisfied with their conces sion. It did not extend far enough. He thought to limit the right of tho House to commit only for contempt was not sufficient. He contended that the House had power to commit in all cases and under every pcs , ible circumstance. It had been Said that if the House of Commons had this universal power to onanit s it would destroy Magna Charts" and wyuld cou• SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. TATTERSALL'S—YESTERDAY.

The Irish Colleges Bill, as amended by the Commons in Committee, has just been printed, and now appears in a very complete form. All reasonable objections made to it by the Catholic prelates as regards religious education and the undermining of the faith and morals of the students are entirely obviated. Lecture rooms are to be assigned for religious instruction; no student will be allowed to remain in any of the colleges, unless he shall dwell with his parent or guar dian, or some near relation or friend, or with a tutor or master of a boarding-house licenst d by the President of the College; and it shall be lawful for any person having the power to make an absolute disposition of his property to convey lands, tenements, or any estate therein for establishing and maintaining lectures, or other forms of religious instruction for the use of students, subject of, course, to such regulations as may be made by the governing body of the college, and approved by her MAJESTY, as Visitor. If religious instruction therefore is regarded by Mr. O'CoNNELL and Sir ROBERT Nous of such vast importance, they will have them selves only to blame if ample provision is not made for that purpose, for if they are sincere in their opposition to the measure, and would exert themselves as good Christians, they could raise by subscription in one year sums which would amply endow teachers of divinity for all the colleges. The Government affords them every facility, and the vote of the House of Commons for the other objects of these institutions is so liberal, that they cannot with a serious countenance complain. A grant at once of 100,000/. has been voted by a large majority for erecting the buildings, and also the annual sum of 21,0004 (7,0004 for each) as salaries to the president, professors, librarians, &c., as well as for burses and prizes to the purils. The colleges are to make reports of their proceedings every year to her MAJESTY, and copies of these reports are to be laid before both Houses of Parliament. Madrid journals of the 18th have been received, but they bring no news of importance. The Gazette pub lishes an order from the Minister of the Interior, ap proving of the estimates for the construction of a line of telegraphs from Madrid to the French frontier. The work is to be commenced without delay. There are many rumours about a Carlist insurrection, but they are entitled to little credit. Why should the Carlists rise, when they confidently anticipate that Queen CHRINTINA will arrange all matters to their satisfaction ? The Three per Cents. closed at 31 13-16 for cash, and 324 at 60 days ; the Five per Cents. at 21 for cash, and 214 at GO days ; and the Passivcs, at 61 at 60 days. Most of the Paris papers contain articles on the brief discussion which took place in the Chamber of Deputies relative to the settlements in the Pacific. This appears to be a very exciting subject, for no sooner is Otaheite mentioned than three or four speakers of the Opposition demand to be heard, and, in due order, attack the Go vernment for want of spirit in submitting to the whims of a Queen of savages, and allowing the KING to lower the dignity of France by inciting an epistle to such a Sovereign. The. Ministerial Globe considers such lan guage on the part of Frenchmen very ungallant. " 111. DE MALLEVILLE and M. BILLAULT," it says, " l,ave shown themselves very susceptible as regards the Royal dignity. They cannot comprehend that the KING of th. FRENCH should have written to Queen PomARE, who obstinately refuses to reply. They forget that Queen POMA RE first wrote to the KING of the FRENCH, and that the KING had simply to reply to her letter. Does not the politeness of the members of the Opposition go so rsr as to reply to the letters which are addressed to them ? Does M. DE MALLEVILLE who, it is said, b. very gallant towards the ladies, think it is civil not to reply to a Queen ? We are certain that M. DE MALLE VILLE would reply to the most humble grisette, and even pay the postage of his letter. Why, then, may not the Ii ING of the FRENCH be as polite as M. DE NIALLE VILLE ?" The Constitutionnel has the weakness to ad - vert to th-se " puetilities," as one of the journals de scribes them, in a serious light. Had the discussion been about the ejection of MEHEMET ALI from Egypt, or the division of the Turkish empire, M. THIERS' editor could not have been more solemn. He thuv writes:—" Facts speak for themselves. M. DUCHATEL haft the unfortunate notion of referring to the origin of these questions, covering himself with boastings of th. past against the humiliations of the present. The effect produced by this sitting was grand and profourto. The Chamber does not stagger, as it was hoped it would, under the faults and weaknesses of the Govern ment. It indeed seamed to grow younger and more vigorous on the recital of !hese faults and weaknesses ; while the anxiety depictel by the countenances of the Ministers announced that the future appeared to them in dark and dismal colours. Vile ridicule of all thest overtures, these actual supplicatio.qs, to Queen POMARE. will not efface-the feeling of all the . humiliation which France has suffered from this affair." The rage fur railway speculation in Prance appears to be on the increase ; and the precincts o! the Chamber of Deputies are so infested with the parties interested, that a formal complaint was made on the subject by the Marquis DE LAROCHEJAQUELIN on Tuesday.• " The Salle des Pas Perdus, adjoining the hall they oven sitting in," said he, " was absolutely encumbered with pc•rbons totally disconnected with the Chamber, wb assailed the Deputie s , as they entered, with importuni ties relative to the railroad Bills that were or were not to be placed on the order of the day for discusssion dur ing the present session. Such conduct he must desig nate as scandalous, and he called o•i the President to prevent it for the future." The President, however, made no remarks, and the Chamber proceeded to dis cuss the estimates fur Public Instruction.

MODEL OF THE BATTLE OF WATERLOO AT THE EGYPTIAN HALL.—Captain Siborne has, after great assiduity and labour, completed the model of the entire field, covering a surface of about 21 feet by 20 in ex tent, and showing the entire lines of both armies, toge ther with the Prussian division, under Blucher, at eight o'clock in the evening. The work is admirably exe cuted, and affords the spectator a very distinct and in telligible view of -what is supposed to have been the general appearance of this dreadful battle-ground when the last grand charge was made along the whole line. It may be said to be a national work, and, we confi dently trust, will repay the skill and expense bestowed upon it. MORTALITY IN THE METROPOLIS.—The number of deaths during the week ending June 21 was 803, show ing a decrease of 42, as compared with the previous week, and less-byvl6o. than the weekly average of five years. The fine weather has produced a most favour able change in all the diseases of the lungs and other organs of respiration, the total number of deaths under that head beint only 205, while the weekly average of five springs is 267, and five years 292. The number of violent deaths, howe‘er, is unusually large, 31 ; and of these about 10 were from accidents, from falls and in juries in the streets, 7 from drowning, 6 suicides, and 6 from burns and scalds, including the four persons unfortunately burnt to death by the fire at Raggett's Hotel. The deaths from small-pox occur:ed at the following ages :--two under 1 year ; four 1-2 ; three 5-10 ; one 13 ; one 18 ; three 20-30 ; and two 30-35 years. The fall of rain in inches during the week was 0.55, and of that 0.50 fell is one day, Tues day, the 17th. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Last Night.)

TEE SUN NEWSPAPER.—We feel it due to the pro prietor of The Sun newspaper to say, that the public ought to bear in mind and fully appreciate his exertions in giving early and correct information. For some time the reports in the third edition of that paper of the proceedings of the current day in the Railway Committees, and also in the House of Commons, reflect great credit not only upon the proprietor, but al so u p on all the gentlemen concerned thereon ; to the former for the spirited manner in which he surpasses his Contemporaries, and to the latter for the able manner in which they carryout the wishes of their employer. Knowing something of the great expense which Mr. Young must be put to in these efforts to serve the public, we do not at all hesitate to award to him our feeble meed of praise.— Wakefield Journal. The Worshipful Company of Spectacle-makers on Wednesday gave their annual banquet to the livery at the West India Dock Tavern,Black wall. In the absence of Alderman Sir G. Carroll (whose attendance, we regret to say, was prevented by illness), Mr. Clarkson took the chair.

Lord GA.RDNER explained the reason of his non attendance on the Glasgow Bridge Committee. The report of the Committee on Railway Bills was brought up. It reccmmended that those Bills which could not be completed this session should be marked by the Chairman of each Committe, and be proceeded with next session from the point where investigation ter minated this session. Lord WHARNCLIFFE brought in a Bill to amend the game-laws. The Committee on the Landlords and Tenants Corn • peusation (Ireland) was appointed. Lord PORTMAN moved the second reading of the Landlords and Tenants Bill. Lord BEAUMONT moved that it be read a third time that day six months. After a short discussion their Lordshids divided, when there appeared—For the amendment, contents 11, non contents 7, majority for the amendment 4. Their Lordships then adjourned. The House of Commons met at Four o'clock. After the transaction of the private business, The order of the day for the consideration of the re port of the Committee on printed papers was read, and the SOLICITOR.GENERAL moved that a writ of error be brought against the judgment of the Court of Queen's Bench in the case of Howard v. Gossett. Mr. HUMS proposed the following amendment—" That it is inexpedient to entrust the privileges of this House to any other tribunal than the Hou:e itself." On a division, there appeared, ior the amendment, 46 ; against it, 78 ; majoriy, 32. The debate on the original motion was then resumed• HER IVIIJESTY S THEATRE. During the whole of the present season, eacn succeeding Thursday has surpassed its predecessor in its powers of at traction ; and last night was decidedly not only the greatest Thursday, but the greatest night of the season. 't aglioni made her first appearance here for these five years, and it is needless to say. that within five minutes after the doors were opened the House W:9 crowded in every part. Never has there been for yearr ps_t such a crush. The part chosen for her debut was La Sylphids, and never was 1 aglioni greater than she was last evening. In the absence of the true divinity, we have been content to w..rship at the shrines of the minor goddesses ; but the true divinity has vouchsafed us an oval i•in of five nights, and the whole operatic world has again bec..me orthodox. Taglioni is the first and only artiste who his really raised dancing to the dignity of an art. She has placed the chereo graphic art tin a perfect equality with poetry, painting, and music. In the mere tours of dancing she is unrivalled, and we should be amazed at her unapproachable grace and power, if we were not lost in admiration at the high and intellectual poetry which she infuses into her personations, and which pre vents us from properly appreciating the beauty of her merely physical efforts. The much hackneyed phrase of the " poetry of motion" is, in speaking of the dancing of Taglioni, the simple enunciation of a self-apparent truth. Her Syl phide last night was a perfect pastoral poem, worthy of Theocrit us or of Virgil. She seemed like a sunbeam, dancing and sporting, and spreading joy and light around arid among the human beings on whom she deigned to shine. Never was she more sylph like, more exquisite, more perfect. There was but one dra , back to our enjoyment. Like a dark cloud the thought would intrude itself, that alter four nights she quits us never to return, and she leaves no successor to fill her vacant ••irone. The woi ld has produced bat one Taglioni—and she quits us in the zenith of her tame and of her powers. Never was she so great as at the present moment. That . the House will, on the nights of her pet formance, contain a greater amount of human beings than have ever befixe been congregated within its east area, is a fact which cannot admit of doubt; but five nights will be insufficient to snAble half those to see her who are desirous of so doing. All who have seen her once, will be ds si:ous of seeing her again and again; and those who have not seen her, may rest perfectly assured that !hey have no idea of what dancing really is. Nothing could esceed the enthusiasm of her reception. Bouptets innumerable were showered upon her from every part of the house, and every time she re-appeared the offerings were renewed. Her every pas was in a literal sense it pas des fleurs. At the conclusisn of the ballet she was called for, and on b. dig led on by Perrot, was greeted with, if possible, increased enthusiasm. The ballet was preceded by Roberto Devereux, in which Madan et Rossi Caccia, Moriani, and Barroilhet, appeared with even greater success than on Tuesday, and it was followed by the Lill scene from Alma. THE CuLOSsEUIVI. The opening of the Colosseum has created quite a furore in the fashionable world. Day and night this most delightful of exhibitions is crowded, and this is another instance of the truth of the axiom that novelty, good taste. and enterprise, will always in London command buccess. Durieg our recent visits we noticed, among the company present, the Duke of Richmond and family, Duke of Marlborough, Archbishop. , of Canterbury and York, Bishops of London, Winchester, and Lincoln, Prince Twankana iaogore, Prince Nobin Chunder Norkeye (both from India), Lady Brougham, Lady Lyndhurst, Lady Combermere, Earl of Ellenborough and family, Earl of Guildford, Lord Braybroke, Lord Sandon, Lord Fitzwtlliem, Lord Ferrers, &c., &c. [ADVERTISEMENT.] LONDON AND ill ANCH ESTER DIREur INDEPENDENT RAILWAY. TO THE EDITOR OF THE MORNING CHRONICLE. Sir,— The attention of the promoters of this line was called to an advertisement in the Morning Chronicle two or three days ago, accusing them of publishing the names there under written against their wishes and authority. It was thought at first scarcely worth while to write an answer, under the circumstances, but simply to withdraw the names, and not waste the resources of the Company in Lib , controversy. As, however, after the withdrawal of the names from the list of those who are, or pretended to be, the patrons of Mr. Remington's line, the advertisement has Leen repea•ed, it becomes a duty to the friends of the line to show under what circumstances the names came en the list. Prior to Mr. Remington's line being brought under public notice, in the autumn of last year, a great number of gentlemen were waited upon with a declaration in favour of a direct line of railway to Manchester ; and the declara tion was signed by a great number of Persons in London, Manchester, and various parts of England ; and that document is now in existence. At the time of signature the projected line was explained to them. and many attended at the then Committee.room and investigated the surveys that had been made to Leicester. Afterwards that list. as patrons and well-wishers to Mr. Remington's line, was published in the columns of the London and in several local papers, with Mr. Remington's name as engineer, and setting out the projected line in detail, without denial, comment, or contradiction ; and it ttid not occur to the promoters of the line now, that within a few months the same persons who had expressed a favourable opinion, and recorded it, would have thought fit themselves. or have been induced by others, to deny the authority they had deliberately given. The scheme was not then given up. but by a resolution of the Committee merely suspended, and the names of the gentlemen, including those in the advertisement (some of whom were on the Committee), were continued as patrons to the same undertaking, for which there was their own authority. Is this an answer or not? Further—if these gentlemen had but sent to the Committee room, and requested the withdrawal of their names, n'tt al Cora mittee-men, but as mere patrons of the pi ojected lime, it wont,' have been cheerfully and readily done, and this course would have been the honest and manly one ; but it would not have served the purposes of the party who caused the advertisement to be inserted. We know there is still enough of wealth and respectability left to ensure an honest undertaking the appro bation of the public. A word to the London and Manchester Direct Railway. Many gentlemen whose names are published in the ad vertised list, have said, if their own words rre to be be lieved, that their names have been advertised without their consent, many supposing that their authority was obtained for the support of Mr. Remington's line, and others without any authority whatever, We, and others, w ere aware that every stratagem, per. fcs aut *Ohs, bad been used in London and Manchester, to obta'n names some project yet to be explained, and that circurn , tance iit duced !Wessel. Wilson and Cobbett, the solic'tors ol Mr. Br mington's line, at Manchester, to advertise a public caution. As a sample, out of many, one spec:men may suffice. The name of the honourable writer is omitted. as we have not now time to apply for hissanction to th• public use of his name; but we may remark that, in his public, as well as his commercial and manufacturing capacity, he is one of the most eminent men of the present day "London, June 20, 1845. "My dear Sir—lt was never contemplated by me that my name would be advertised in connexion with any partieukr scheme for a railway between London and Manchester ; my signature was given merely to express my opinion that a more direct line than now exists was wanted, and I had no idea that the list of signatures would have been published by Mr. Ashurst in connexion with any particular project. " I remain, yours faithfully. " To R. H. Wilson, Esq., Manchester." One word more. When the advertisement of the London and Manchester Direct Railway appeared, Messrs. Livius and Rogers, of Bedford, called at the office o: Me srr. Sudlow and Co., in Chancery-lane, and inquired of some person in the office why Mr. Remington's line wet 'o be opposed. The answer was, that Mr. Remington's line Itai been sold to the London and Birmingham Railway. As some o: the parties con nected with the London and Manchester Direct Railway were connected with Mr. Rem'ngton's line lest year for several months, and in spite of a'l remonstrance, all entreaties, and every appeal, refused to bring it out in t'me :or the present session of Parliament, so that it was ee'ayed Vies, such an answer from such a quarter may be s;gn'fie.ant o: what was done then, and of the course to be :otlowcd now. ke the result what it may, Mr. Remington's line shall be brought before the public honestly, and with all the power we c.. - 1 give it, and it is for them to judge whether or not it be worthy of suppc rt. We are, Sir, your obedient servants, STEPHEN & HUTCHINSON, JOHN OWENS. Committee Room, 29, Moorgate-street, • June 26, 1845. THE NELSON LETTERS.—The third volume of 41 The Dispatches and Letters " of the heroic Nelson, edited by Sir Harris Nicolas, far exceeds its predecesxors in the in teresting nature of its contents. There is a passage in the life of this great man which ;las hithorto been reg.tdtd es extremely injurious to his reputation. We allude to the execution of Caraccioli. The present volume of :hi , national work brings before the reader unquestiorable evidence that in this un happy affair the character of Ne't,n is ..'ee irons reproach. A vast mass of invaluable correseo tient.° aid other important documents, illustrative o; a'l his pioLecdinirs on the coast of Sicily, creates the conviction that no blame can attach to the British Admiral, and such materials enable the editor to vindi cate the character of his hero from the aspe&ons which igno rance and prejudice have cast upon it. As the pried passed over in this volume includes the Battle of the Nile, the capi u lation of the Castles of Elovo and Nuovo, and the expulsion of the French from the do tinions of the King of the tvio with an account of all the rewards and dignities Nelson re ceived from his own and other Governments, some ides may be formed of ita biltorical value and interest - • LAW INTELLIGENCE.
