The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat upon the Wool sack at Five o'clock. The Earl of MALMESBURY postponed the presen tation of the petition on the subject of tithes and poor rates of which he had given notice. He postponed it at the request of a Right Rev. Prelate who wished to be present at the dicusslon. Lord LYTTELTON presented a petition from Wor cestersbire in favour of the appointment of a county police; also a petition in lava': of the revival of convoca tion. BRISTOL CHAR= TRUSTEES. Lord STANLEY presented a petition from Bristol complaining of the appointment of charity trustees in that city, and praying that the benefit of the charity Might be extended to the cut parishes cf the city. The LORD CHANCELLOR said that the charity trustees had been proposed to the Master in Chancery, according to the usual course; that the Master was pre pared to hear any objections that might have been argued against the appointment, and that the Master having reported that there was no objection to this ap pointment, that appointment had taken place in the usual manner. jetty, praying that she will be graciously pleased to cuase an inquiry to be made whether improvements might not be effected in the system of granting pa,s ports to her Majesty's subjects travelling in foreign states. The Noble Lord said that, in the month of May last, he hadOalled the attention of the House to the subject, and had complained then that the high price put upon passports compelled almost every one about to travel abroad to take a passport from a foreign consul. The House had then evinced so much interest in the matter that he had been emboldened to give notice of a motion on the subject, which he did on the 20th of February. A few days after a notice appeared in the Gazette to reduce the price of passports to 7s. 6d. He must express his thanks to the Noble Lord even for this concession, but he still felt justified in calling upon the House to consider whether the system, even thus improved, was not attended with great anomalies. A person who was travelling from London to Madrid, if he did not choose to pay the fee at the Foreign-office, could get a passport from the French Ambssador to Paris free of any charge, and on arriving there, if he applied to Lord Normanby he would be able to get from him free of charge a passport to Madrid. He thought it would be much better to equalize the charge, to make it half-a-crown here, and impose the same charge on the passports obtained from Eugl6h ambassa dors abroad, which would do away with the system of Englishmen obtaining passports from foreign ministers. He would also recommend the establishment of some PETITIONS. Earl FITZ WILLIAM presented several petitions against Papal aggression. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE presented several petitions with a similar prayer. The Earl of WINCUILSE A presented thirty-four petitions against Papal aggression. He believed it was of little avail to present petitions, but if the Protestants meant to fight the battle of Protestantism, they must fight it at the next dissolution. Petitions, signed by 2,000,000 of people against Maynooth had been treated as waste paper; and he gave warning to his Protestant fellow-subjects, that if they wished to fight the battle of Protestantism, they must fight it themselves. The NOBLE EARL then presented a petition from Slea ford complaining of agricultural distress, and against free trade. Free trade had been proposed as an experi ment, and it had signally failed. He believed that under a system of protection the country would be pro vided with wheat at a cheaper rate, taking a period of twenty years, than under a system of free trade. Lord WODEHOUSE said that there was no distress in the agricultural districts with which he was con nected. Lord SONDES considered that the agriculturists were suffering distress. Their Lordships then adjourned. looked on as the inside coating of the sphere, is actually that which exists on the exterior crust of the great globe itself. This very allowable depar ture from the truth, without misleading any one, ad. mits of our obtaining a knowledge of the distribution of land and water over the whole planet, which could not be in any other way secured. The great feature, in fact, of this globe as a medium and summary teach ing is, that it presents (what nothing on a less scale could do) the means of presenting the various great physical phenomena at once and in their relations— which in all other educational documents have to be studied separately and in detail. The sphere on which the earth is modelled—and which is now in process of erection, as our readers know, in the centre of Leicester-square—is 65 feet in diameter. Visitors will pass into the interior of this huge ball ; and by means of a winding staircase or gallery will proceed round it, viewing every part of the model at a distance of four feet from the eye ;—and these arrangements are so contrived that they will not interfere with the general view of the entire surface. The scale is ten miles to one inch horizontal, and one mile to an inch vertical. This enables the constructor to exhibit all the details of hill and valley, lake and river, with facility, and to produce an effective representation of the earth— which could not be done if the scales for height and for distance were alike. central passport office under the superintendence of the Foreign Secretary. There was no disputing that it was a happiness for this country that the passport sys tem was not in force in it, and it would be well it foreign countries would follow her example, especially since Don Carlos had proved the inutility of it, by travelling through the whole of France without a passport, and reaching the Basque provinces without once being stopped.—(Hear, hear.) The present system of granting passports was in point of principle entirely indefensible, and he considered that the inconvenience might be altogether avoided by re ducing the expense of all passports at the Foreign office to a small uniform rate, say 2s. or 2s. 6d. each. Every one who had read the newspapers within the last twelve months must be acquainted with the evils and annoyances which persons travelling abroad were subject to, and how British interests consequently suffered by the delay in obtaining passports. lie would suggest whether it might not be possible to send blank passports to responsible local authorities abroad, who would have the power to supply them to all proper parties, and thus avoid the trouble and expense consequent on the present system. It remained for him only to inquire on what ground this report was adopted. They had in effect neutralised all the objects for which the inquiry was instituted, and it therefore remained to be considered what was the best plan now to pursue. There was now no necessity for the discussion of the facts, for they had them all before them, and he was very unwilling to take up the time of the House on a ques tion like this, and he had consequently adopted a motion for an address to her Majesty praying for some regulation of the letters issued by the Secretary of State to persons going abroad. That was the most consistent course that could be taken, for it was useless to recal the several measures which had been considered for re medying the evil, and he should consequently confln• himself to the terms of his motion, that an address be presented to her Majesty praying for an inquiry into the mode of granting passports. A message having been brought from the House of Lords, Lord PALMERSTON proceeded to say that he was quite sure that no one could quarrel 'with the manner in which the Noble Lord had brought the subject before the House. The Noble Lord had last session, very usefully has he (Lord Palmerston) thought, introduced this evil of granting passports to public notice. He had then very properly observed that the expedition of Don Carlos through France, when about to contend for the Spanish Crown, was a sufficient evidence of the inutility of pass ports in sectoring a country from political intrigue, but he himself might add another instance. It was that of the Duchess De Berri, whose passports were quite en rivle, and must have been obtained without any in quiry. His attention had been drawn to this subject, but circumstances had occurred during the last autumn to prevent his carrying out his de signs with a view to overturn the system. The establishments of Austria and Prussia had interposed peculiar obstacles, but he nevertheless had a great anti cipation of so modifying the plan of passports as to do away at some subsequent period with the most grievous of the inconveniences which they occasioned, and he might say that no less anxiety was fe!t by the Secretary tor the Home Department to accomplish the same object. The Noble Lord who was his predecessor in the Foreigneeffice, had stated that he had only granted ono passport to a foreigner, bat that was one more than he granted, for he had never granted one. The only ocoa, sion on which any number of passports had been granted through the Foreign-office was through Mr. Cr( borne, the Consul at Rome, who had given 500 to the fugitives who had departed when the French took possession of the city, and which were granted in order that they might depart peace ably and without any danger to the public tranquillity. The Noble Lord was mistaken that there [was such vir tue in a British passport. It was only a bona fide evidence that they were held by a British subject, and very often, as in France, they were exchanged far foreign passports. No matter, however, what passport a Bri tish subject held, he was entitled to the protection of our counsel in all cases of danger or difficulty; and again repeating that the present was only an experiment. I: would not he expedient to accede to this motion, be cause it was wholly uncalled tor. A Committee appointed ►o investigate this trifling subject would be almost us useless as having the power of four oe five horses to slice cucumbers.—(A laugh.) And he must decidedly object to that proposal of the Noble Lord too.—(Hear.) Mr. BRIGHT suggested that en exception ought to be made in favour of naturalised foreigners who bed settled and intended to remain ill tis country.—(Hear, hear.) The other day he applied to the Noble Lord for a passport i❑ favcur of a Greek gentle man, who had settled in Manchester for life, but it was refused, and he should therefore be glad to see a change made in the existing system, so as to con fer upon such persons all the privileges enjoyed by British subjects. Mr. M. MILNES thought the power of granting passports to foreigners ought always to be carefully ex ercised. Austria and Prussia had been striving to force their passport system upon this country, and ho was not at all sorry that the attemp had been properly re stated. Mr. URQUHART hoped the Noble Lord at the head of the Foreign Department would be slow to adopt the suggestion of the Hon. Member for Manchester. After a few words of reply from Lord MALIGN, The motion a as, by leave, withdrawn. HUSH POOR-LAW. HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Four o'clock. PETITIONS. In looking at this vast model, the observer is at once struck with the distribution of land and water. He sees the great oceans occupying nearly 150,000,000 square miles, while the old and new continents and all the islands are estimated at but 60,000,000 square miles. The immense expanse of waters in the southern hemisphere is brought out in strong contrast with the wide-spread lands of the northern ; and the great chains of mountains which are remarkable fea tures of the earth's surface are shown to be ranged in a circle around the ocean and the Indian sea. The water-shed, or river courses of every country is laid down, and the great areas drained are exhibited. This is, of course, connected with the elevations and depressions of the land—all which are displayed in re lative truthfulness, and with remarkable exactitude. By no other means than this, we repeat, could we at one view obtain a correct and lively knowledge on these points. A model in relief speaks to the eye in a way which it is impossible for any map or globe with a flat surface to do. Beyond the points of Physical Geography which we have mentioned as being necessarily involved in this idea, there are others of no less importance and interest to be embraced. The limits of perpetual snow will be shown. Mont Blanc, "the monarch of mountains," with his diadem of snow—the hoary peaks of the Andean and the Himalayan range—with the lower hills, which as they approach the Pole pre sent their constantly snow-bearing tops—will alike be faithfully represented. The great Forest ranges will be indicated—and the Deserts, with their wastes of sand, exhibited. Many of the geological aspects of the globe will be displayed i not merely in the form of the surface but in the colours of the rocks. In fact, as perfect a picture of the surface of our earth as is possible will be presented at one view in this gigantic model. This will be no mere holiday show. Men may take their chil dren to it to insruct them on the subject of that world on which they live; and the women of our day may here, if they choose, learn something more than they know of that surface of which Mrs. Somer ville, in her " Physical Geography," has written so well. had that lady, however, possessed the advan tages of a model like this, she would have avoided some errors which are the natural consequence of not being able to embrace at one view "the great globe itself." Numerous additions will occur to the students of natural philosophy by which Mr. Wyld's globe might be made still more instructive. The naturalist will insist on the importance of showing the geographical distribution of plants and animals; and the geologist will contend that it would be easy to express in colour many of the great facts of his science, and to tell the tale of those vast mutations with which he deals. We believe these may eventually be shown without in any way interfering with the general plan ; and we would advise Mr. Wyld to bear these and other additions in mind. It is not improbable that he contemplates them or some of them, as future chapters in this great geographical work. But in any case there are certain grand physical facts which we desire to see expressed in the first instance. We venture to suggest them as important, and we believe them to be compatible with the main features of the design. We would wish to see the great oce anic currents laid down. Most interesting would it be to show how the waters of the ocean warmed in the gulph of tropical Mexico, flow in obe dience to a physical law towards our own shores— and even pass to the north of our islands—giving a temperate climate and fertility to a northern region of Norway which the southern districts do not pos sess. As a few dots on the blue of ocean would in dicate all this, we see no reason why this information should not be afforded. The greatest southern limit in the northern hemisphere of the icebergs might be very instructively shown. The glacier system will of course find a place. In addition to this, a few crimson silk cords car ried round the model would express isothernal lines— or lines of equal temperature—round the globe ; and the few blue ones would tell the story of the earth's m.lgnetism, without iu any way interfering with the geography of the model. At least, we hope Mr. Wyld will mark the two north and the two south magnetic poles .—which we may now regard as being fairly determined. The movement of these magnetic poles might be described in any trea tise or catalogue which may be sold at the doors of the Exhibition. There are some other points of inte rest which we should desire to see embraced, and which probably will be so hereafter. We have already intimated that we regard this mo del as the commencement of a new era in geographi cal instruction. This great globe is made up of some thousands of castings in plaster from the original mo dels in clay. The first plaster cast, which is of course in reverse, will be retained—and from it any num ber of correct models may be had, Nothing could be more instructive than such sections of the earth. Those raised maps, telling the tale of distance and elevation, would impart an amount of information in schools which could not be given by any other method. In a few weeks the desert of Leicester square, will, in fact, be converted into a great geo graphical school. A large number of petitions were presented against the Papal aggression, some or them praying for a more strin gent law than that which was likely to arise from the Bill brought in by the Ministry of the day. Mr. F. O'CONNOR presented petitions from Glasgow and two other places, praying the House to inquire into the several land appropriation schemes which bad been put before the public. Mr. G. Berkeley, Mr. Horner, Mr. Stansfield, and other Members, presented petitions from the Wesleyan Methodists of Cheltenham, Leominster, and other places, against Papal agares:don, and asking for a stronger measure than that now before the House. Mr. HAMILTON presented petitions from several places in Ireland, praying that tho Lord-Lieutenancy of Ireland Bill may not pass into a law. Mr. SCULLY presented several petitions from Ire land praying that the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill may not be passed. Mr. ROEBUCK presented several petitions from the Roman Catholic inhabitants of Sheffield and other places, against the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill. Mr. COBDEN also presented several petitions to the same effect. Sir CHARLES LEMON presented petitions from the Protestants in England, and Dr. POWER from the Roman Catholics in Ireland, against the Bill. Mr. PaTo and Mr. HENLEY presented petitions from several Wesleyan congregations in Norfolk, Suffolk, Ox fordshire, and Northamptonshire against the Papal Ag gression Bill, and praying for a much more stringent measure. Similar petitions were presented by Mr. AUGUSTUS STAFFORD and several ether Members. Mr. PETo also presented petitions from Norwich and Chesterfield, and by Mr. BERNAL from Sydenham and Bent, against the duty on paper. Mr. WYNDHAM GOOLD presented a petition from the Protestants of Bruff, Ure an, and Manister, county of Limerick, in favour of the Church Education Society. Mr. MILNER GIBSON presented a petition from the inhabitants of London against the taxes on knOwledge. Mr. WILLIAMS presented a petition from the vestry and Inhabitants of Lambeth against the window-tax. Mr. WILLIAMS also presented a petition from Lambeth aganst the Papal aggression. Mr. LANGSTON presented a petition from the Boman Catholics of OxErd to the same efTt-x'. Mr. 'WILLIAMS presented a petition frern Lernhqh preying for an inquiry into the several schemes for the purchase of land now before the public. MERCANTILE MARI NE. In reply to a quesm n, 2lr. LA2OLTCLIERE stated that wi.ti resptc - . to the plans and mode t , f working a the Mercantile Marine set, all the memorials were now in his possession, and he should shortly make a full state ment to the House. LEICESTER WATERWORKS BILL. In reply to a question from Mr. FREWEN, Mr. WILSON PATTEN stated that the Standing Orders' Committee had not dispensed with the standing orders on the Bill. Mr. ELLIS stated that the capital to be raised by this company was very considerable, that he had himself a great interest in it, but that he should be reedy to par: with that interest for nothing as soon as the Bill should be earriwi.—(Loud cheer,.) He thought he need Bay uo more.—(Renewed cheers.) _DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Mr. URQUHART wished to ask the Noble Lord the Foreign Secretary when the papers connected with the affsirs of the Disehies and Denmark would be laid on the table or the House? Lord PALMERSTON said it was not his intention to scud any further papers to the House on the subject, and fora. this mson— the papers referrA to embraced a correspondence extending over u period of two or three p ars which had been carried on with almost every power north of toe Alps. It occupied '2OO folio pages of letter-press, and Ho Hon. Member would ever think of reading it, at call events it ho did he would only waste his time, for the correspondence, although of importance when it first took place, had lost its interest by the lapse of time. The treaty relating to the affairs of the Duchies and Denmark hr,d already been laid before Parliament. Mr. URQUHART said perhaps the Noble Lord would lay on the table those parts of it which related to the succession to the throne of Denmark. Lord PALMERSTON said her Majesty's Govern ment had altogether held aloof from that question, and had entirely devoted themselves to mediation to bring about peace between Denmark and the Duchies. It was true the correspondence indirectly referred to the sub ject of the succession; but still it was not advisable to lay those points before the House. THE KAFIR, WAR. Mr. ADDERLEY wished to ask the Under-Secretary for the Colonies how soon the Cape dispatches, relating both to the constitution and to the Kafir disturbance, would be laid before the House. Also, whether he would present at the same time copies of recent petitions to her Majesty on the subject of the promised constitution, and memorials from public meetings, which had been placed in his hands; and, whether ho would present to the House copies of New Zealand ordinances passed year by year, since the last presentation of such copies of local ordinances to this House? Mr. HAW ES, in answer to the first question, stated that he held in his hand the papers referred to, and it was his intention to lay them on the table to-night. The petitions and other documents should also be pro duced but they could not all be completed for some time to come yet. Mr. SCULLY moved for copies of all correspond ence between the Thurle3 board of guardians and the Poor-law Commissioners in Ireland, between the lat day of January and the 10th day of March, 1851, relative to the refusal by the Peoria w Commis sioners to allow the Board of Guardians to increase the employment of the inmates in remunerative labour ; and return of tho number of inmates in the different wet It houses in Ireland, specifying their ages between 7 and 15, 15 end 20, 20 and 40, and 40 and upwards, the different sexes, the number of able-bodied, aged and infirm. Sir WILLIAM SOMERVILLE asked the Hon. Gentleman to postpone his motion till he had an opportunity of communicating with the department to which it referred. He had no doubt the returns would be readily granted, but as an act of courtesy the Poor-law Commissioners ought to be consulted first, before the Howe acceded to the motion. Mr. SCULLY could not comply with the request of the Right Hon. Baronet, as the motion he had made was one of considerable importance to Ireland and would not admit of delay. (LEFT SPEAKING.) NEW BRUNSWICK. Mr. ROEBUCK had seen a statement in the news- PaPets to the effect that a legislative council had been conceded to New Brunswick; and he should be glad to know from the Hon, Gentleman the Under-Secretary for the Colonies it the report was correct? Mr. HAWES wished his Hon. and Learned Friend had given hi mnotice of the question, because then he should have been able to give him a more satisfactory an swer. Undoubtedl y the general principle of a legis lative council had been granted to New Brunswick, and therefore there was a foundetion for the report. STeJAM To AUSTRALIA. Lord NAAS wished to ask the Chanc e ll o r of the Ex chequer, in reference to the statem ent ma d e b y hi m t h at f the tenders received or establishing steam communica tionre- spectablepersonsestablish with Australia were unsatisfactory, whether the Government had before thm maiw6ain that service fe: the amount arisieg from Po s t a ge only, without any El grant from the Exchequer. u The CH i0..t.) CHANCELLOR of the h.tere . l s a id t h e question was one that should be sii'mnitted to the ee,, m _ taittee sitting on the subject, and therefore he must de aline ausr ering it. STREET MUSIC. Colon l SIBTHORP called the attention of the Melt Hon. Baronet the Secretary of State for the 1 fou%l.e partment to the practice of playing barrel organs )the public thoroughfares, and as it rendered the (freeing ce vehicles dangerous, he should be glari to kcow if Lothing could be done to abate the nuisance? Sir G. GREY said the Metropolitan Police Act made th e practice referred to an offence at law, and the police bad authority to remove street music whenever it was dangerous or an obstruction to the traffic of public thoroughfares. SUNDAY TRADING BILL. *P:; ' Mr. W. WILLIAMS, in adverting to a few questions put to him the other night by the Hon. and Learned Member for Youghal, contradicted the report that the expenses of the Sunday Trading Bill were defrayed out of the parish rates of Lambeth. PASSPORT SYSTEM. Tani ukaos rose to raOTO PA ',citizen to her Ma- n S MR. WYLD'S GREAT GLOBE. (From the Athenceum.) As the importance of a knowledge of natural phe nomena becomes more and more strongly impressed on the public mind, new facilities for acquiring that knowledge are opening up around us. Education 20 years since was a much heavier matter than it is now-a-days. Boys were taught by laborious pro cesses the signs by which ideas are expressed—but they were allowed to pick up ideas as they could. Under this system a few—favoured by circumstances or by peculiar mental organisation—pushed them selves onward acd learned to read the volume of na ture; but to by far the largest number it was indeed " a book sealed—a fountain shut up." A gradual change has taken place, and it has become to be felt that the progress of the human race depends on a bet ter knowledge of the natural facts which are around us. It is now understood that there is no perfect ministration to the requirements of advancing civilisation without the aids of natural phi losophy—using the term in its true, world-embracing sense. Science, long neglected, is taking its impor tant place in the scheme of general education ; and all the appliances of popular institutions are brought to bear in diffusing a knowledge of those phenomena by which the beautiful results of creation are obtained, as far as these have been developed by inductive experiment and careful observation. Geography and the use of the globes, however, is a branch of knowledge which has long been admitted as an ornamental addition to a respectable education ; and it was not thought a good sign to be ignorant of the place on the map on which China should be looked fur or Kamschatka found. Small, however, was the real knowledge imparted even in this branch of science. It is not easy to instruct a child to read a snap or comprehend the fiat sur face of a globe ; awl a very cur:iory examination, even among people of liberal education, will convincingly prove that ordinary geography is very imperlectly understood, and th;:t a wide ignorance of physical g eo g r aphy prevails. R e gardi ng Mr. Wyld's model of the earth asaeat step towards a general remedy, we think it w orthile, after an inspection of its materials and of the dinar pro . ce s sse . s in operation, to put our of it rea ders in posse ss i on yc characterscomes under globea limited iittesd survey obje tc portion In looking on an or of the earth's surfac e only once.

THE SUN, LONDON, TIiURSDAY EVENING, MARCH 20, 1851. Church, and the canons of the councils down to the Council of Trent, and since then the universal voice of public opinion, all pointed to the existence of abuse of the most marked and dangerous cha racter. The dogmas of the Church, its hierarchy and its liturgy, were all tainted with the evil, which every succeeding age etrengthered and confirmed. Most, if not all of them, were owing to the blending of the spiritual nature of the Christian Church with the temporal quality of earthly sove reignty. The luxury and ostentation, the pomp and show of the Court of Rome, had influenced the Church of Rome until, in fact, the became one, the spiritual being rendered grosser, and the iemporal more odious by the connexion. What had been the effect of their corruption of the Church from its primitive purity and simplicity ? In the first place, it bad rendered material and superstitious the pure and ethereal religion of the Church, which, being heavenly and spiritual, was made to be the universal religion of the world, binding all mcn in one general tie of brotherhood. The result is that dissent and schism are created, man is set against wan, and people against people, and all the nations of the earth are presented in uniting in one fraternal embrace that the cardinals and princes of the Court of Rome may live in toilless splendour, and Jesuits rule the whole body of the Catholic Church to gratify their ambitious longings for power. What had caused the great northern schism, when Ger many end Englaud severed themselves from the see of Rome? Nothing but the infamous abuses which characterise the! Romish Church of the sixteenth century—the traficing in indulgences and dispen sations, the shameless vices of the very head and ruler of the Church, and the universal profligacy which per vade every class of the clergy. What prevented even the chance of a reunion of those divided members of the one common Church of Christ ? Why, the existence of those self same abuses as at the presnt day, the grasping avarice and ambition of Jesuitism, the nar row-mindedness and bigotry of the Papal system of government, and the encouragement of such rank impostures as the so-called miracle of Rimini, rival ling the superstition of the darkest ages. He now came to the remedy. Where were they to look for the power which should be able to grapple with the evil ? Unfortunately, as proved by the fruitless issue of the Council of Trent, called expressly for the pur pose of reforming the Church, they must acknow ledge that the Court of Rome was the greatest ob stacle to its own reformation. They were determined to adhere to all their old abuses, and, as experience bad shown, to foster new ones. From the people alone could the power of effecting such a reform originate. They must join in one universal demand that these abuses should be cleared away, and that the Church should be restored to its pristine purity and simpli city. For this object ever people should unite as brothers, in order to obtain such a reform of the church as should restore to it its original character, as the type of the universal religion which Christianity was intended to be. The reverend father concluded with a fervent prayer that all religious differences might be healed, and that every sect might unite in one common creed, as they acknowledged one common Head and Founder. MR. JOHN O'CONNELL AND THE REPRE SENTATION OF LIMERICK. Mr. John O'Connell has addressed the following letter to the electors of Limerick : " London, March 10, 1851. " Fellow Countrymen,—l have this moment re ceived, through your respected mayor, a resolution of your corporation calling on me to resign my seat. " I have also received by the same post a copy of the Limerick Reporter and Tipperary Vindicator, in which I find the majority who carried the resolution analysed as consisting or eight Conservatives and ten Young Irelanders, two of the latter being profession ally engaged for Mr. Russell, the gentleman who has so long and so frequently intimated his intention of seeking your suffrages in the event of my retirement, or of a general election. " I remember that in 1847 the Conservatives and the Young Irelanders wade a similar alliance to en deavour to defeat your choice of a representative, and that their united efforts ended in registering no more than 37 votes against 400, which you recorded for me—a number which you could have increased had there been any necessity. " What is your will now? You have only to speak it, and it shall be obeyed. Does this second alliance of Conservatives and Young Irelanders, with the additional element of professional men who are to get employment in case of a new election—does it represent your wishes ? If so, its call on me shall, as I have said, be obeyed; but I owe it to you to ask the assurance from your own lips. " You know me to be a long time anxious to re tire. I hold my seat now, and have held it for the last sixteen months, merely in obedience to you and to convenience you ; and when you declare yourselves ready to accept it, and to go to a new election, I will instantly resign, and give you the opportunity. " I respectfully beg to point your attention to my explanatory letter to the corporation, and to the general letter I have addressed t the Repealers of Ireland. They both appear in the Limerick Reporter and Tipperary Vindicator that I received this morning, ALM they contain the fullest, the latest, and the most decided statement of my opinions, cum ictions, and intentions. " I conclude by saying, that although I did not originally seek your representation, you having, in fact, compelled me to take it and to give up my kind friends in Kilkenny; and although I have been so long asking of you to allow me to retire from Par liament, yet I have ever duly and fully appreciated the high honour and great kindness you have done me ; and whether you now decide on going to a new election or not, you shall ever command my warmest and most fervent gratitude. " Respectfully and devotedly yours, " JOHN O'CONNELL." PRICES OF SHARES :N BANKS, ASSURANCE, AND OTHER COM PANIES' STOCK. From the o.BTeial List. PUBLISHED EVERY TUESDAY AND FXIDAY EVENING.

We published a abort time ago a speech of Mr. Cobden, in which he highly eulogized the press of the United to our Stae comparing it with that of England, much disadvantage. si We extract the following t character given of tho Nei* York Courier by the New York Day Book, as a specimen of the literary amenities of our Transatlantic contemporaries, whose example Mr. Cobden recommends us to fol le w : (From the Day Bo©k of Feb. 15 ) The larger the animal the more ridiculous are its flounderinge and kickings in its last struggles—pro viding that animal, from its stealthy character end pesti lential influence, and long depredations on the corn mueity, has made itself loathed and despised. Such is the case with the Courier and Enquirer of this city at the present time. Impudence, treachery, and the worst kind of duplicity often, from various and mul tiplied causes, will succeed and be suffered for a long time to exist in the community, especially in a city like this, for the reason that time is too precious and the business of each individual too important to enable any one to take upon himself the duty which more properly belongs to the whole. The Day Book, faithful to its promise as an independent journal, has taken upon itself to send ono of its arrows to the vital s of the Courier, and hold up the blanket-sheet toward s the sun, where its patchwork, threadbare and rotten condition can be seen in its true light. At one time possessed of the talents of MM. Noah and of James Gordo n Bennett, it obtained a notoriety which, as soon as they left it (as we believ e in dis gu s t and abhorrence), was made the means by which the ac complished klackguard who now controls it commenced his depredations on the community. And since that time no press, in this country at least, has exhibited such unblishing prostitution and profligacy. And not satisfied with his 52,000 dolls. black mail depredations, or the turning of widows and children houseless and homeless upon the world, be adds another and another to his victims, by means which his own cowardice would not allow himself openly to employ-- "murder most foul" and fiendish; an unblushing bully too cowardly to do the deed himself, though ever after gloating over his victims—over the dead, and the living, too, not less helpless in their feminine innocence and juvenile dependence. Success in crime for a series of years deadens the per petrator to all shame, save the shame and inconvenience attending personal duress and hard labour. This is precisely the case with James Watson Webb, the pro claimed editor of the Courier. Vain of his successful frauds and duplicity, for ever vacillating and treacherous to men, parties, a n d prin c iples, lie goes on in his un blushing shame, 'while our bankrupt courts show his die acy, and our cri minal records chronicle him as a sentenc e d f e l on . And now to pro ve him alive to the pains of p h y sical graceful profligacy, duress, his coalition with William 11. Seward is ell suffi cient. We know of no other person, principle, or party. during his long career, however deep and sacred his obli gations, which be has not abandoned in a much shorter time than this coalition has existed. But Seward is too smart, and continually reminds him that but for his cle mency he would have gone to the State Prison; and that the mere hap that he had the pardoning power saved him from hard labour, and, perhaps, from the occasional lash—just the only kind of puniequient of which the bully convict stands in fear. Wo give Webb the credit—for once he ie true to his friend, and we give him a long mark 1 The refined and accomplished demagogue bids him mount the black hobby of tib"liti"oism and spiced his blanket-sheet over all the " seven heads end tun horn." of the black monster. Lie does; and now, shot at in every by-path and corner, the whole concern is reeling in its sickness and asking to be propped up while it is grasping at every hold to to prevent its final fall. Let it be transfixed to that wall where the Day Book has driven it. , THE NEMPiETT MURDER . --The wi d OW of Wil kins, who was so cruelly murdered some weeks since at this village, has been pronounced out of danger, and the wounds she received from the ruffians on that occasion are nearly healed.

BAPTISM IN A EIVER.--Ori Sunday morning last, three individuals (two males and a female) were publicly bap tised in the River Nidd, at F.lnaresborougb, by Mr. Franklin, Baptist minister of that town, in the presence of a large !mul titude vf Ppectatia, FATHER GAVAZZI'S LECTURE. Yesterday Father Gavazzi continued his course of lectures on the abuses of the Church of Rome, at Willis's Rooms. The Reverend Father commenced by referring to •he renewed accusations which had been cast upon him in the British House of Commons by Mr. Moore, that he was an apostate whose charges against the Church which he had abandoned ema nated only from rancour and disappointed ambition, and were unworthy of credit. Those who make such an accusation against him could not understand the true force of the word " apostate," and that they could only have charged him with apostacy through malice or ignorance, for he denied that he had ever abandoned the principles of Catholicity, or transferred his name or his faith to any Church dissenting from the Church of Rome. Neither bad he ever eonnected himself with any sect or party, political or religious ; but where he had been mixed up in political movements, it was solely from a sincere love of his country, to free her from the oppres sion under which she groaned. It bad been said that he was a Mazzian. It was true that he had known Mazzini in Rome, he respecten him as an individual, and he believed him to be an honest man, and a sincere patriot ; but if the name of Maszini sigaified a party, and not a principle, then he renounced all connexion with him. lie was an Italian, not a Mazzinian, and he refused to labour for the re generation of his country for the s , ke of any sect or party, but merely for the love of principle, and the love of liberty.--(Applause.) He belonged neither to the Carbonari nor to Young Italy, but to his country alone. He believed the regeneration of Italy was possible, and not a chimera—he believed the people of Italy were entitled to the blessings of liberty and the possession of a free Govern ment ; but what he wished to see was a Govern ment firm, tranquil, and well ordered, based on religion and order, not on incredulity and anarchy. He trusted that, before he had concluded, he should convince Mr. Moore, and the English Parliament and people, that he was neither an apostate nor a sectary, but that his solo desire was to make known the abuses by the Church to which he belonged was corrupted, in order that they might be removed. Fanaticism or bigotry alone could deny the existence of those abuses, and his object was to show what were their nature and effects, and the mode in which they might be remedied without in juring the true fabric of the Church. It was far from his intention to touch the sacred principles of the Church, or those institutions which were coeval with its thundation by the Divine Head of Christianity. Ile dealt only with its abuses, which were the work of men, and had grown up in the progress of time thicker and thicker around it, until they utterly buried 'and concealed the great basis of truth on which it rested. He did not attack the Church, but the abuses of the Church, and it was for this that he had been stigmatised as blas phemous and apostate by those who owed wealth and rank, and splendour to those abuses, and would perpetuate them by any and every means. (Applause.) In the early days of the Christian Church, when she was exposed to persecution in every shape, and had to be administered in secrecy and silence, abuses were unknown ; but no sooner was the protection of the State cast around her, and her bishops and priests permitted to wear their authority in open day, than abuses crept in on every side. The fathers and doctors of the early GENERAL BEM. How far Bern was capable of handling a great army, and conducting extensive and combined manoeuvres, was a question on which he himself was by no means confident. On some one saying how desirable it was that the Government would intrust him with the chief command of the Hungarian army, he observed—" No ! no ! A great army and skilful manceuvring, that Dem binski's affair. Give me 10,000 men who will never turn back, and plenty of guns—that is what I like." We may add that Bern always spoke of Dembinski with the greatest admiration, and gladly acknow ledged his superior qualities us a general. We are sorry to see that some Hungarians, influenced perhaps, in part, by jealousy of foreigners, but pro bably more by that vulgar prejudice which recog nises merit only in succees, have been led to speak of this gallant soldier and noble-minded man in terms injurious to him, and anything hut honourable to themselves. In private Bern was retired in his manner end habits, silent in company, and re served in his communications, even to those nearest to him. To one of his staff, who inquired what was to be done the next day, Bern answered—" Can you keep a secret ?" " Yes." " Ah, so can I." The cleverest spy could never make out any of his move ments. Every morning the troops were paraded in marching order, and orders were then first given out. Sometimes they were to march straight to the field of battle; at others sent back to their quar ters, without any one being able to guess, before hand, what would happen. Bem would overlook many faults in favour of a fighting man, but he never par doned an officer who retreated, unless he contested every inch of the way. No one near him dared speak of the possibility of retreating. His own courage seemed to consist in an absolute unconsciousness of danger; and he was often vexed and disappointed to find that all men had not the same feeling. To prisoners Bern was humane in the highest degree. Every Austrian officer was generously treated who fell into his hands. Bern, although shy and reserved, was the most gallant of men in his deference to females. Lady Horatio Weston, the wife of an Eng lishman in the Austrian service, had been placed by her husband, for safety, in the fortress of Karlsburgb, and on the retreat of the Austrians from Kronstadt, of course he had followed the army, while she was left behind. At Captain Weston's request, Mr. Col quhoun, our Consul General at Bucharest, sent his ser vant with a letter to request Bern to allow him to enter Karlsburgh and bring Lady Horatio away. Bem not only complied, but sent up his own car riage, paid her every attention in his power, and appointed an officer of hussars, Baron losika, to escort her to the frontier. To the widow of the Aus trian Major, St. Quentin, who was in Klausenburg. Bern not only gave passports to enable her to leave the country, but requested her to make use of his purse to any extent she may require. To the widow of Count Mides his letter of condolence was a most beautiful and touching proof of his kindness of heart, and delicacy of feeling.— British Quarterty Review. LOVE, MURDER, AND SUICIDE. A most extraordinary circumstance occurred re cently at the theatre at Oran, in Algeria. Duilog the performance of the second act of the Vie de Café the report of firearms was heard in a box on the highest tiers, and at the same moment frightful shrieks were uttered by a young woman who was seen to fall to the ground. The audience shouted "Murder, murder," and frightful confusion arose. Some persons hastened to the box, but they found the door fas tehed, and while they were attempting to break it open a man, wearing the uniform of an officer of the Chasseurs d'Afrique, put his leg over the front of the box as if to throw himself into the pit. He would have succeeded in the design if a soldier of the 11th Regi ment had not, at the risk of his life, clambered from the gallery and seized him. The officer struggled violently and succeeded in getting the greater part of his person over the box, in doing which part of his clothes were torn from his back; at last the soldier only held him by the foot, and by a violent effort the unfortunate man broke from his grasp and fell heavily into the orchestrr. The audience shrieked with dismay, and some persons hastened to remove the man to the stage. He had still a pistol in his hand, and cried, " For the love of God—for pity's sake do not take that pistol from me. I belong to an honourable family, and let the save it from dishonour." As he was not much injured he was ordered to the police office ; but after proceeding some distance he broke away from the gendarmies and got clear off. He attempted more than once to drown himself, but not succeeding went to the lodgings of a brother officer at Oran, wrote a long letter to his family, and then discharged a pistol in his heart. The young woman whom he attempted to kill was only slightly wounded by the ball of the pistol, but was a good deal injured by his having beaten her after also fell with the pummel of his sword. Neverthe less, her state excited no serious disquietude. She is an actress, had lately belohged to the theatre of 'SIAS.' taganem, and had been inistrese of the officer, but hail excited his furious jealousy by abandoning him for another. On the evening in question she had gone to the theatre with a female servant and a little child. The officer had gone up to her box, and sent away the servant and the child, end after reproaching her for her conduct endeavoured to murder in the manner described. ECLIPSES TO COME.--According to the tables of the Observatory, we shall have twenty-three eclipses of the sun in the course of the second half of the nine teenth century, as follows:-1851, en the 28th July; 1858, on the 15th March; 1860, on the 18th July; 1861, on the 31st December; 1863, on the 17th May; 1865, en the 19th October; 1866, on the 6th March; 1867, on the Bth Octater; 1868 on the 23d February; 1870, on the 22,1 December; 1873, on the 26th May; 1874, on the 10th October; 1875, on the '29th December; 1879, on the 19th July; 1880, on the 30'h December; 1882, the 17th May; 1887, on the 19th August; 1890, on the 17th June; 1891, on the 6th June; 1895, on the 2Gth March; 1695, on the 9th August; 1899, on the Bth June; 19(10, on the 28th May.—La How THE ARABS TAKE THE ITYANA.—The Paris Constitutionnel gives the following account of the manner in which the Arabs hunt the byama, and of the intrepedity they display in that dangerous sport, us related in a letter:—" A few days since, the com mandant of a battalion of Turcos (native soldiers) was informed that a female Hyaena had been seen in the mighbourhood of Mostaganem, near M3zigran, and that she had taken refuge in a cave about one hundred yards in denpth. Orders were immedi ately given to carefully guard the entrance to the cave. Two Turcoa, provided with a simple cord and a small chain, went into the cave without weapons, and merely carrying a candle, and, in about halt an hour, to the great astonishment of the spectators, an enor mous hyana appeared muitzled, and allowing itself to be led along with the docility of a sheep. According to the account given by the Arabs. the animal, dazzled by the light of the candle, allows itseif to be handled and caressed like a young dog, and during this time the hunter takes care to muzzle it, and thus prevent the possibility of its doing any mischief: Two soldiers were, however, two days since seriously wounded by one of these animals, which suddenly re sumed its ferocity, and, after biting through the mer.fee, took to flight, alter knocking down its two assailants. It is impossible for anything to equal the courage and temerity shown by the natives in these sports." A new form of post-ofice money-order and advice will be brought into use in all the money-order offices in April next in the country. Tho new orders and advices will be of a different shape from the ones in present use, and the printing on which will be red. The order before issued will be at tached to the advice, and will bear the sam e printed number. When issued the former will be torn from the latter and given to the remitter, and the latter will be filled in and sent on to the Postmaster who will have to pay the order. The great advantages of this plan will be that before an order can be paid, a postmaster must have the identical advice which wa s joined to it before it was issued, because the counterparts and printed numbers of both advice and order must agree. As, therefore, the issuing p os tmaster will not bo able to use an advice in discriminately for any order; and as at the end of the day ho will have the precise number of separate advices as of orders he has issued, he cannot possibly forget to write an advice for every order he grants, and as the sa me numbers are printed on th e ord er an d advice they must always correspond. Postmasters forgetting to write advices, and the number of orders and advices not corresponding have hitherto been two very fruitful sources of error, and of consequent inconvenience to the public. DEATH /ROM THE BITE OF A MONKEY.— On Sa turday last an inquest took place at the Grey M•re Inn, Whitworth-road, Rochdale, on the body of a child, the eon of Mr. Gaskell, the landlord of the above house. It appeared that Mr. Gaskell had purchased a monkey for 18s., and not anticipating any danger from permitting the animal to remain in the house, sufficient caution was not exercised, until i a serious disaster happened. The monkey, quite unex made a sudden spring, and alighting on the head of the child bit it so severely that, notwith s t an di n g the utmost attention p ectedy, of a medical man, the child died f ro m the wound.
