The Committee to whom the lines comprised in this group were referred met this day at twelve o'clock, for the first time. Pre sent—Hon. G. Cavendish. Mr. Disraeli, Hon. Colonel D. Pennant, and Mr. Mitchell; Hen. Eliot Yorke, chairman. The proposed line was 7 miles 5 furlongs in length, and was in tended to connect Middlesborough, the present terminus et the Stockton and Darlington Railway, with Redcar, a watering.place at the mouth of the river Tees, on the north-estat coast of York shire. The estimated cost was 3.i,000/. Mr. Jahn Harris, civil engine r, Darlington, deposed to the nature of the works on the line. He stated that there would be no engineering difficulty of any consequence, and he considered that the estimate was quite ample for the construction of the works. Only one witness was examined to prove the traffic and the ad vantages which would be cooferred on the district by the formation of the line. The Committee did not require that any other evidence should be called, but at once decided that the preamble of the Middles. borough and Redcar Railway was proved. The Committee then proceeded to consider the clauses of the Bill, which, with a few exceptions, left over for further considers. Lion, were agreed to. IRELAND. OPENING OF DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. DUBLIN, JUNa IO.—A decision of considerable importance, connected with the opening of Trinity College, was pronounced to-day in the Court of Queen's Bench. In the present term, Mr. O'Hagan, on behalf of Mr. D. C. Heron, a Roman Catholic student of Trinity College. moved the Court that a peremptory mandamus should go to the visitors, the Primate and the Archbishop of Dublin, requiring them to hear Mr. Heron's appeal against the decision of the Provost and Senior Fellows, who had refused him a scholarship, because he was a Roman Catholic, and would not take the Sacra mental Test. The case was argued at great length by Mr. O'Hagan and Mr. Holmes for Mr. Heron, and by Mr. Miller and Mr. Napier, Q. C., for the visitors. The Chief Justice gave the unanimous decision of the Court, that the peremptory mandamus should go, notwithstanding the re turn of the visitors. " This (the Dublin Evening Post remarks) is a judgment of the last importance. It raises the question distinctly as to the right of the Catholics of Ireland to scholarships—of which they have been so long deprived. The law is with them; high legal authorities at the bar and in the College are with them ; and we confidently anticipate that justice will at last be done. We congratulate the country on this great step in advance towards it." THE NEW COLLEGE'''. BILL. An important petition is now in course of signature, approving of the system of mixed education in the New Colleges Bill, but re quiring amendments to secure religious instruction to the College students—to prevent all tampering with the peculiar religious tenets of any class of students—to vest the nomination of professors, first in a hoard, and afterwards in the governing body of the colleges— to enable the students to take degrees in the Dubli■ University —to open existing scholarships and lay fellowships, and to provide for the endowment of new fellowships and scholarships in that Univer. sity, open to ill crecds. This petition is already numerously signed by Liberals of all shades, Whigs and Repealers. A considerable number of members of the bar, and several of our leading merchants, Protestants and Presbyterians, as well as Roman Catholics, have attached their sig natures. The third name to the petition is that of Professor Kane, the distinguished author of" The Industrial Resources of Ireland," of whom sir Robert Peel spoke in such laudatory terms during the recent debate on the Colleges Bill. REPEAL DEMONSTRATION IN CORK. The Cork Examiner of yesterday contains a very long report of the proceedings on Mr. O'Connell's entrance into that city on Sun. day. It is stated that half a million of persons were congregated on the occasion. The following statement is abridged from that journal:—`• Among the hundreds of thousands wh• formed the majestic gathering of yesterday there was not one forgetful of the duty he owed his Creator; and those who exclaimed against a de secration of the Sabbath might have heard the bells ringing from eery Catholic chureh as early as six o'clock in the morning, when their aisles and galleries were crowded with a faithful and deeply religious people. Long before then, however, the gay sounds of music might be heard from different quarters of the city, as the various country detachments marched in through the great avenues, headed by bands in uniform, and bearing a green or white banner with the name of the locality to which they belonged, and some patriotic emblem, with a freedom-loving motto. Until near nine o'clock they still came pouring in; and as they passed along, they were met with a hearty shout of welcome. Bodies came from Lis. more, in the county of Waterford, and from Capoquin, in the same county—from Skibbereen (a distance of 64 miles)—Bandori, Mal low, Macroom, Kanturk, Youghal, Minane Bridge, Kinsale—and nearly all walked the distance. " About nine o'clock the various trades began to muster in their committee-rooms, and then, preceded by bands and banners, they marched to the ground, formed into regular files, and kept that position, steady and unbroken, until the signal was given for moving. The head of the procession extended nearly two miles from the city on the western line of road, the last body being stationed on Patrick's Bridge. The main streets of the city through which the procession passed were densely crowded, the people allowing sufficient, but barely sufficient room, for those who walked. From the Chamber of Commerce to the top of Patrick's hill it was one dense, black mass of people, over whom floated glit tering banners, with their gilded spear tops glancing in the bright sun. " The procession wound up the steep hill and along the Upper Glanmire-road, passing through dense bodies of people on each side, allowing merely a passage for the men as they walked three or four abreast. For miles the multitude pressed on in one dense stream, z.ctually blocking up the reads. " It is almost impossible to give any idea of the beauty and elegance of the triumphal car. Its extreme height was 20 feet, its length 12 feet, and its width 6 feet 6 inches. Its base presented the appearance of a large, handsome platform, covered over with rich carpeting ; and on the great platform, raised about four inches from its level, was a smaller platform for the gorgeous chair intended for the Liberator. Over the chair, and extending nearly the whole length and width of the car, was raised a splendid canopy, supported by four allegorical figures—Justice, holding the scales; Truth, with her mirror; Prudence, and Fortitude. Im. mediately under each figure, and adorning the sides of the car, were handsomely carved and highly- ornamented scrolls. Under the figure of Fortitude, the motto—' Eight millions—love of country will overcome everything.' Under Justice—' Self-government and nothing less. We know our duty, and are resolved.' Under Truth—' English friendship—Carthaginian faith. It is the nature of man to hate whomsoever he has injured.' Prudence—' Agita tion—formerly we conquered by these arms.' Immediately in front of the car was a large white scroll, with the following memo. rable inscription•— "' A claim of any body of men than the King, Lords, and Commons of Ireland, to make laws to bind this kingdom, is unjust, illegal, and a grievance " • Dungannon, Feb, 15,1752 • " The procession filed past the car, and as each body passed along, the banners were lowered, hats were waved, cheers were given, and the band struck up a good Protestant tune,. the Volun teers' March, or 'See the Conquering Hero comes.' At length the long line, which commenced moving from the Cross at one o'clock, had passed, and it was not until after four o'clock that the cac was put in motion. Every wall was crowded with gaily_ dressed men and women, and as Mr. O'Connell appeared, the latter seemed to exceed their male companions in the excess of their enthusiasm. " The scene on entering into Patrick.street surpassed in reality the utmost efforts of description. Walls, windows, balconies, housetops, the rigging of the vessels lying next the bridge, every place which could afford a footing, however precarious, was crowded with myriads of human beings, presenting a sea of anxious faces, reaching from the level ground to the highest elevation within view. The Chamber of Commerce was thronged by the members, who cordially greeted Mr. O'Connell from the windows, and corn. manded the cortege, so as to prevent stopping or interruption. It proceeded on through the Grand Parade, South-mall, over Angle sea-bridge, to the Corn-market, where, according as the different trades and other bodies arrived, they were directed to disperse quietly and peaceably, an order which was promptly and strictly obeyed. Those who lived in remote parts of the country proceeded to return to their homes. The whole appearance of the city was striking in the extreme. Besides the decorations of private houses, with laurels and flowers, magnificent and picturesque arches spanned the ways and streets. The triumphal car having stopped at the entrance of the Corn. mercial.buildings, a harper, surrounded by the chivalry and clothed in the costume of ancient Ireland, stood under the shade of his native oak, and in a clear, distinct, and imppressive tone, read from a parchment scroll, on which it was most beautifully inscribed, and embellished with the arms of Mr. O'Connell, and address in the vernacular tongue. " Thus terminated the glorious demonstration in the capital of he south. " The procession was closed by the private carriages of the town council, with servants in livery." A number of addresses were presented to Mr. O'Connell at the levee. ENGLAND AND AmEatcA.—Juhn Bull wants a flogging—let's give it to him. He is insolent—let's flog him.

We want to see men mowed down in long battalions, and artillery trains dragged over them before they are dead. We want to have squadrons of horse trample on men dying, but not dead, and see the blood spirt when they tread on living hearts, and see the vultures feed on the richest sort of carrion.

Mr. Ts Lao; on behalf of the promoters of the above line, stated the case at great length. The object of the line was to connect the Wear Valley in the westward with the sea in the eastward, and to afford an outlet for the great wealth and productions of a district which was at present completely shut in, from having no suitable means of communication with the sea. The proposed line was projected for along time and was selected by Mr. George Stephenson, who was called the father of the English railways. This eminent engineer considered that the proposed line was the best which could be selected for the development of the re sources of the country. The Learned Counsel then referred 0 the sort of traffic which would be accommodated—iron, tin, zinc, cop per, lead, stone, flagging slates, fluor-spar, limestone, &c. It was 101 miles in length, and there was a branch of a mile and a quarter. The whole cost of the line would be only 82,000/. Alter alluding to the opposition to the line, the Learned Counsel said he would not take up their time any longer, but proceed to call witnesses to prove the statements he had made. Mr. J. Dolphin was then examined by Mr. Buss—Lived near Weird ale. Was a coal.owner and proprietor of lead mines. He supplied the population of Darlington for a long time with coal. On an average, the small families consumed eight tons yearly. The population was about 4,000. There were extensive lead mines and smiths'-works in that district, also limestone quarries, and various other works which required an immense quantity of coal. The witness then deposed to the general traffic of goods and passengers, and considered that the proposed line would confer great advantages on the district generally. Mr. Thomas Todd, examined by Mr. DENISON—Lived in the parish of Stanhope. There were forty.seven smiths in that and the adjoining parish, who consumed. on an average, fifty.three tons of coal weekly. The cost of the carriage of this coal was ss. per ton. He heard the evidence of the last witness with regard to the rates, distance, arid time of the carriage of goods by the pre. sent and proposed modes of conveyance, and concurred in the accuracy of those details. Sent himself 1,500 tons of lime weekly for agricultural and other purl oses into the adjoining counties by carts. The proposed line would be a much cheaper, more rapid, and desirable communication; and he considers it would greatly benefit the trade of the country, and open up its resources. The two last witnesses were cross-examined by Mr. Hill, to prove that the Stanhope and Tyne existin4 railway accommodated a large portion of the traffic which was claimed for the proposed line. Mr. Emerson Muskin was then examined by Mr. Buss, and gave evidence of a similar tendency. He heard the evidence of the two last witnesses, and agreed with them in the statements they had made. This witness was cross examined by Mr. HILL with respect to the tunnel and Black Boy incline, with a view to prove that it was impossible to form a continuous line of railway. The CHAIRMAN here said that he did not see any use in calling further evidence on the traffic. He wished the counsel and pro moters to direct their attention to the engineering points referred to by opposing counsel. Mr. John Harris, civil engineer, was then called, but it being now within a few minutes of four o'clock, the Committee ad. journed till I'2 o'clock to-morrow. GROUP RR. PRESTON BROOK AND RUNCORN RAIL VW AY. The Select Committee on this group reassembled at one o'clock this afternoon, and agreed to the remaining clauses in the Preston Brook and Runcorn Railway Bill. The Committee afterwards authorised the Chairman to report the Bill favourably to the House, and then adjourned. GROUP X. CAMBRIDGE AND LINCOLN RAILWAY. The Committee met to-day at the usual hour. The Earl of Winchilsea was the first witness callei. He de. posed that he was well acquainted with the district proposed to be traversed by the Cambridge and Lincoln line, and considered it far preferable to any other line, particularly the London and York line, which only passes through a corner of Lincolnshire, while the Cambridge and Lincoln passes through the centre of the country ; is also of opinion that the terminus at Far ringdon-street would be much more useful than that proposed to be made at King's Cross ; his objection to the Loup was two-fold ; first, because it would supersede the water nevi gation now existing; and second y, because it would affect preju diciously the drainage of the country. The reason he entertained this opinion was, because the London and York line it made, would no longer take an interest in keeping up the navigation, the loss of which to Lincolnshire would be very injurious. Cross.exa,nined by Mr. Sergeant WRANGHAM—Did at ore time express an opinion favourable to the Lincoln and York scheme ; but when the Cambridge and Lincoln line was projected, was de cidedly of opinion that it was the better line. His objection to the London and York line would of course be in some measure re moved, if he heard that the Lon,lon and Yoik Company had of fered certain terms to the Drainage Commissioners for keeping up the drains, with which those Commissioners had expressed them.. selves satisfied. Was in favour of competition generally. Had heard of a proposed junction between the Cambridge and Lin • coin, and the Midland Counties Companies, which he could nut approve of so much as if :hey had remained independent Com panies. Earl Fitzwilliam had directed his attention to the corsra_ ratite merits of the London and York, and the Cambridge and Liverpool projects. Many years ago he had had his attention di. rented to the expediency of a line of communication by railway with the north, through Cambridge. (Here the Noble Earl's ans., er was rendered somewhat inaudible by the noise created by the chip. ping of blocks of stone, hammers, mallets, chisels, &c., i n t h e hands _ . of the workmen employed at that portion of the new Houses of Parliament close to the Committee-room. The noise was kept up most perseveringly during the whole time the Nob:e Lord was under examihation, with more or less pertinacity, the work men having just returned from dinner, and was varied only by the transition from one description of labour to another, such as the cessation of the mallet or the chisel, and the resuming of the grating and very unpleasant noise of stone-sawing. However, his Lordship continued to speak on.) But one question had been put to him, and his answer to it was one of most protracted duration. The substance of it was to the effect that he was in favour of the Cambridge and Lincoln project, because it would afford more facilities for the transit of every de scription of goods and merchandise through the centre of the ' county of Lincoln than the London and York line. He would have a feeling of extreme jealousy in regard to the formation of the Loup line, though he had very little property indeed in Lincoln shire. but lie did not think it would be useful ; and he assumed the gap the absence of its formation would leave would be other. wise and more usefully filled up. When his Lordship had con cluded his long answer, the Learned Counsel said he did not think it necessary to put a second question to his Lordship. In cross-examination he said he should expect that a branch would be made to Boston from Cambridge. He did not mean to say that in fifty, or forty, or thirty, or twenty, or even ten years hence the requirements of the country may not be such as to render the London and York line necessary, particularly when he recollected that thy' population of this country was increasing at the rate of 250,000 a-year. Was aware that the intermediate traffic was ten times that of the through traffic. Mr. Pryme—Has been forty years connected with the Cam. bridge University. and represented the town in three Parliaments. Is of opinion that if this line should be made, a greater number of students would pass up and down than now, Cambridge was a sort of emporium for the whole of the surrounding district. Both lines traversed his property. To Mr. Terre—Knows Chestert on an d C o l tsman ' s C ommon.

The Bill may now be regarded as part and parcel of the land. True, it has two more stages to pass through ; but they are mere forms, and the Bill will not be impeded by any step which its opponents can take to arrest its progress. And here we cannot refrain from the expression of our deep regret at the conduct which a large body of Dissenters are vet pursuing with respect to it. Instead of acknowledging the grievous error which such of them as were opposed to all State endowments committed when they formed an un holy and unprincipled alliance with the High Church party against it, we find them still persisting in a course of error which can have no other result than to destroy their moral and political influence among the people of Ireland. Had they stuck to their pure principles of religions Non-Endow ment, irrespective of creeds, they would have been univer sal)? respected. But instead of that, we find some of the leaders of the Non-Endowment party assisting at an Anti- Illaynooth meetinz at Exeter Hall on Wednesday evening, at which the Earl of Winchilsea presided, and which listened with applause to the following specimen of senile drivelling on the part of that most orthodox nobleman:— " England should find in him the greatest agitator that ever trod; he would fight with them the battle of the faith.—( Hear, and cheers. )—They should extend the bond of union of that society to every country, to every borough town of England ; and he promised that he would do all in his power to promote the establishment of a Protes tant club in support of the Protestant principles of the British Constitution, and to elevate the social and moral elevation of the people of this great country.—(Cheers.) He would not allow this great religious feeling to subside till Protestant Eng land had asserted her character again." It would be an odd thing to find Dissenters enrolled in a society to re-enact the Test and Corporation Acts ! They had therefore better retrace their steps, and stick to their old and honest principles. —Hull Advertiser. THE CONVICT HUCKER. THE CONDEMNED SERMON. The following is a copy of a report made by the Rev. W. Russell, Inspector of Prisons, to her Majesty's Secretary of State for the Home Department, respecting the circumstances which occurred on the occasion of the condemned sermon in the chapel of Newgate Gaol, in the case of the convict Hocker, and also respecting the circumstances which took place on the morning of the execution : REPORT OF REV. W. RUSSELL, INSPECTOR OF PRISONS, TO HER MAJESTY'S PRINCIPAL SECRETARY OF STATE. " Cumberland -street, May 6 1845. " Sir,—With reference to the circumstances that , occurred on the occasion of the condemned sermon in the chapel of New gate, in the case of the convict Hocker, en Sunday, the 27th ultimo, the Sheriffs stated that they were not aware that any official rules had ever been drawn up or were in existence relative to the proceedings to be observed on the occasion of a condemned sermon or of a capital execution at Newgate, that if there were any such rules they had never been communi cated to them, and that they considered that by law they were left to their own discretion and sense of propriety on such occasions. " On the occasion of the condemned sermon on Sunday, the 27th ultimo, either 49 or 50 visitors were present, of whom six or seven were ladies. The visitors were admitted by orders signed by one of the sheriffs, by one of the under sheriffs on behalf of the other sheriff, by the other under. sheriff, by one of the visiting magistrates for the month, by an alderman, and by the governor and ordinary, under the sanction of one of the sheriffs. The governor, according to the ordinary practice, admitted two reporters for the public press ; and there were two other persons present who took notes of the proceedings. Besides the visitors there were present one of the sheriffs, one of the under-sheriffs, and twi) alder men, one of whom w as a v i s iti ng mag i strate for the month. " With reference to the seats of the convict Hocker and the prisoner Connor being apart from other prisoners, and with an officer stationed close to each, the Governor states that it has been his inviolable practice thus to place prisoners under charge of wilful murder or under sentence of death, in order to prevent either poison, a knife, or any instillment with which suicide might be committed, from being conveyed to them. The ordinary preached on the late occasion from a written sermon, and he believes he adhered strictly to the dis course he had prepared; and he put in the sermon for my perusal. He states most positively that he did not address the prisoner Connor. He alluded to his case in the course of the sermon, but not in the manner which had been stated in the public papers. " Very soon after the service, the sheriffs and the ordinary went to the cell of Hocker, who was so deeply impressed by the service from which he had just returned, flea he requested that the ordinary and sheriffs would then join in offering up a prayer for him, a circumstance altogether unexpected from his pre vious conduct while in gaol. " With reference to the circumstances that took place on the morning of the execution, the Sheriffs state that numerous applications were made to them for orders of admission to the interior of the prison to witness the execution of Hocker, but that, without exception, they refused them all ; that the only persons admitted to the interior of the prison, in addition to the regular prison officers, were the sheriff and under-sheriffs, the late under-sheriff, Mr. Anderton, who was admitted as a kind of demi-official, but not by the order of the sheriffs, Mr. D. W. Harvey, the Commissioner of the City Police, who was there on duty, and the reporters for the public press. " The Governor states most distinctly that, with the ex ception of the prison and police authorities already me'ationed, and their official attendants, and the reporters for the public press, no visitor whatever was admitted into Cie interior of the prison to witness the execution of Honker. " With reference to the reporters for t.:ne public press, the sheriffs state that they were not adwitted until the period when the executioner commenced t'ae operation of pinioning and preparing th e cu l pr i t for exec:ation. Thi s , as th e sheriffs' state, they consider the comr:Lencement of the public exe cution, and they entertain a strong persuasion that the public ought to be present, through the reporters, when the execu tion thus commences, and for these reasons :—when the executioner enters cell, and commences his operations, it sometimes happens (as it did on this occasion) that the culprit faints; if that fainting should end in death it would be a most painful circumstance to the responsible authorities in attendance that this should happen within the prison walls unwitnessed by any one on behalf of the public, to ascertain and report what really took pla.4.e on the occasion. They also consider the presence of the public reporters as a strong security against the infliction upon the culprit of any unnecessary pain by the executioner during the ?inioning. " They further state, that not unfrequently the prisoner re serves his confession to the last moment. That when the pinioning actually commences, feeling there is no longer any room for hope, he may make important statements, and that it is most desirable for the interest of the public that those should be fully and accurately recorded. " For all these reasons the sheriffs consider the presence of the reporters as absolutely necessary. "In 1843 there was no execution. The sheriffs who were in office at the time of the next execution, 27th May, 1844, knowing nothing respecting the order to the contrary, strangers were again admitted to the chapel to hear the condemned ser mon ; and the practice has been continued up to the present occasion, which is now the subject of investigation. " Having now reported the result of my inquiry into all the circumstances of the case, I venture to submit, for the con sideration of Sir J. Graham, the conclusions which a careful investigation of all the facts of this case has led me to form. " With reference to the condemned sermon. The practice which, with a single exception in the year 1842, has so long obtained, of admitting visitors to the chapel of Newgate on occasions of condemned sermons, appears to me to be highly injurious, with respect to the visitors and the public at large, to the prisoners generally, and to the culprit about to undergo the extreme penalty of the law. " To the visitors and to the public at large, by means of the published reports of the proceedings, it is injurious, inasmuch as it ministers to the indulgence of a morbid taste for spectacles and sensations which have a prejudicial tendency. " To the prisoners generally, the practice in question is fur ther injurious. It not only distracts their attention from the religious services of the day, and from the awful condition of the culprit, now on the verge of that existence which he has forfeited by his guilt, but they see him, as it were, dignified: being made the ce n t re o f o b servat i on ; an ob j ect of F . :" o y e mpathy, and almost of adna;ration, even to the higher orri .drs, on account of the heroiF:o or bravado with which he 'deports himself ; a considerati on which is well known to. 'nave great weight with the criminal population looking or who will read of wh a t toles pla ce . " And to the convict himself the practice is more injurious still, whether he be truly penetrated with a conviction of his guilt, or hardened and unmoved. If, happily, brought to a proper frame of mind, filled with anguish and remorse for his crime, and impressed with a just dread of his approaching end, it is scarcely less than cruel to hold him forth, while he might be seriously impressed, to the gaze of idle curiosity, and to disturb in almost his last moments the thoughts and prayers of a guilty but dying fellow -creature. If, on the other hand, the culprit remain unsubdued, and insensible to the awful doom which be is about to undergo • if he be ac tuated by th at van i ty and love of display which has been seen to cleave to criminals even to the very last, and which almost converts the scaffold itself into a stage upon which to exhibit the triumphs of bravado, then it is plain that this practice offers a direct incentive to such a character to pre tend to despise the last terrors of the law, and, as it were, to defy the uplifted sword of justice, so soon to fall upon him. " I am indeed of opinion that under no circumstances is a condemned sermon productive of good effects. I fear that its tendency is ever injurious. But if it be thought proper to continue it, it is most desirable, on every account, that it should be as private as possible, and that none but the prisoners and the proper authorities should be present at it. " With reference to the morning of the recent execution, every care was taken by the sheriffs to exclude from the in terior of the prison all visitors, with the exception of the reporters of the public press ; they desirous to l eave t h e culprit entir- a.'opear to have been ordinary, and to con d uct t h e I order and d ecorum . B ut, • : ~y to the care of th e sat awful ceremony with due do not think th a t the e 1. with reference to th e re p or t ers , I - their admissi on a -ounds which th e sit niffs assigned for .. o, d sufficient. The pre sence o f th e s h er iff s, the under-sl , : er i ff , , subordinr' the governor, the ordinary, and the -re officers of th e pr i son, i s an amply sufficient gun -re to the public that the necessary proceeding of pinioning and otherwise preparing the prisoner for the scaffold will be conducted with all due consideration for the culprit, and without the infliction of any unnecessary suffering or delay. " If a culprit, under sentence of death and awaiting exe cution, makes a confession voluntarily, such a confession may be so far regarded as satisfactory, inasmuch as it con firms, and thereby strengthens the public confidence in the verdict of the jury, and as it exhibits the penitent state of mind to which the convict has been brought; but if such a confession is sought for—if its attainment is plainly made a matter of importance—the very fact of its being so sought for implies a doubt of the completeness of the case, and of the justice of the verdict and of the sentence; and public confidence in the verdict, which ought to be final and satisfactory, is thereby shaken. " I am further of opinion, that the act of seeking for a con fession of guilt from a culprit is calculated to defeat its very object. It makes him feel that something is wanted to com plete the case against him ; and the more earnestly he is soli cited to make a confession the more he is led to discern in that very earnestness a chance of escape ; it betrays the hesi tation of those who question him ; it shows that, notwithstand ing his condemnation and sentence, something like a doubt still rests upon his case, which even at the last moment may delay the execution, if not avert his doom. " Nor is this all ; a temptation may be held out to him to make declarations that are untrue, not only with a view to postpone his own execution, but also to screen an accomplice, or to wreak his vengeance upon an enemy, or upon those who have been the means of bringing him to justice; to say nothing of the undeserved importance which may be attached to statements made at the moment of death, and which, however otherwise unworthy of notice, may thus be made productive of the most serious consequences. lam therefore of opinion that, on the occasion of an execution, as well as that of a condemned sermon, all persons, except the authoriti es o f t h e prison and of the police, should be strictly excluded.-1 am, &e. . d.

Mr. WATSON. in the course of the day, applied for a writ of habeas corpus to the vicomte and gaoler of Jersey, ordering them to bring up the body of Mr. Carus Wilson on affidavits, stating that that gentleman was now detained in custody in that island without any lawful cause. As this subject has been already before the public in another Cowl, when the case was fully gone into, it may be suf f icient to state that the application was grounded on three objections ; the first of which impugned the competency of the Court by the order of which the applicant had been committed to his present custody, and the two others, the propriety of the proceedings consequent on that order. The Learned Counsel was about to state, that when before the Court of Queen's Bench, the application was disposed of on a point beside the merits, but he was interrupted by . _ Sir F. Pos.Locx, who said—l do not think that we are called upon at this stage of the case to go into the merits or the proceed. ings in Jersey. If Mr. Wilson or any one conversant with the laws of Jersey distinctly states on oath that the Court was incom petent to commit that gentleman to prison for the alleged contempt, or to inquire into any matter affecting him, that is enough to entitle him to his writ. Mr. WarsoN—That most distinctly appears on the affidavits. Sir F. POLLOC►C — Very well, then that is enough. You may take your rule. A long discussion then ensued between the Bench and the Learned Counsel as to the proper 'Trio(' at which the writ should be made returnable, and it was ultimately decided that the matter should be again brought before the Court to morrow (this day). BAIL COUR7', June 11. HOBBS V. HARVEY. Mr. KERSCHNER was instructed to show cause against a rule which had been obtained by Mr. Peacock, calling upon the plaintiff to give security for costs. He had an objection to make to the copy of the rule which was drawn up on reading the affidavit of Alexander Dobie, calling upon the defendant to show cause. Mr. PEACOCK did net then know on whose behalf his friend ap peared. Was it for the plaintiff or defendant ? Mr. KERSCHNER said he appeared for the plaintiff. Mr. Justice COLERIDGII-4t is so obvious a mistake— What is your cause Mr. KERSCHNER said he had two affidavits going to the fact whether the plaintiff was resident in England. It was a qui tam action, brought to recover penalties for advertising foreign lotteries, and It appeared that the press of this country, as well as Scotland, had fallen heavily into a liability to penalties. He had the affi davit of James Macaire, who was the attorney and agent for Hobbs, in several suits, who stated that it was not necessary for the plaintiff to reside in Scotland while an action was pending, but the course and practice was to give his mandatory, and the deponent had received instructions from the mandatory appointed by the plaintiff, and the defendant stated that the plaintiff was not now resident in Scotland, but was permanently resident in England, and that his belief was that the plaintiff intended to continue to reside in England. Then he had the affidavit of Hobbs, himself, who stated that he left Scotland last September for Lon don, intending to return to Scotland as soon as he had arranged his private affairs—that he was detained there a considerable time, and hethen determined to endeavour to find employment in Eng. land, and he returned to Scotland on the 28th of February to settle his affairs, with an intention of returning to England ; that lie did return in March last, and had lived in several houses in the parish of Lambeth, where he intended to continue to reside. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—Mr. Peacock, are you not answered ? Mr. PEACOCK—No, my Lord, I think not. Mr. KERSCHNER thought the affidavit showed all that was re quisite—that the plaintiff continued to reside in England. There was another motion—this was a qui tam action, and the Courts had generally rather supported the plaintiffs, and had not called upon them to give security for costs. There was a case in 2 Dow. 259, where Mr. Baron Bayley had said, the Court would not compel a plaintiffin a qui lam action to give security though he was sworn to be a pauper. His Lordship would hardly favour an application of this kind where injustice might be done. The Acts of the Le. gislature could only be carried out by this class of men—they must be considered as public servants. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—I don't consider them as my servants. Mr. PEACOCK said— His friend had stated that the press had fallen heavily into penalties, and the plaintiff was seeking to reap a rich harvest in consequence of its having done so. The affidavit stated what the plaintiff had done in Scotland subsequently to the Ist of Match. This was a proceeding against the Globe newspaper for penalties amounting to upwards of 3,0001. The plaintiff' had brought seven or eight similar actions, and also others in Scotland. Mr. Smith, the attorney for a defendant, of the Caledonian Mer cury, in Scotland, applied to the judge there to compel the plaintiff to give security for costs in that action, on the ground that he was residing out of the kingdom of Scotland, and was then domiciled in England; that was opposed on the ground that the plaintiff was domiciled in Scotland. It was then declared in writing by the plaintiff's counsel, according to the practice in Scotland, that the plaintiff had left England and was then living in Scotland, where he intended to continue to reside. If, therefore, the declaration was true, the present affidavit of the plaintiff was false. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE wished to know what the answer in Scotland was ? Mr. PEACOCK then again read the affidavits of Macaire and the plaintiff, declaring that the plaintiff had appointed a mandatory, and had left Scotland, and was now resident, and intended to contimue to reside, in England. The plaintiff did not swear that he was proceeding in his action against the Caledonian curt' by his mandatory, nor did he state that he was permanently domiciled in England. Mr. Justice COLERIDGE—I think the answer will not do it is not merely comparing one affidavit with the other, but the plain tifl 's attention was distinctly pointed to dates by the defendant's affidavit, but he had not fixed any. —Rule absolute. JUNE 13 (Sittings in Banco.) rN TAR NATTER OF CHARLES CARES W1L50N....-FIABRAII CORPUS. The writ of habeas was granted in this case yesterday. There was one point, however, reserved for the consideration of the Court, and on this point judgment was given this morning by Mr. Baron ALDERSON, who said there could be no doubt but that if application were made to a single judge at chambers during the vacation, thy writ could be made returnable in vacation before such judge, although it had been issued in term by all the judges sitting in banco. aurrn.i., v. PURDAY-JUDGMENT RELATIVE TO THE LAW OF COPY. RIGHT •S REGARDS FOREIGNERS IN THIS COUNTRY. At the sittings of the Court this morning the Lord Chief Baron proceeded to give judgment in this case, which was an action brought by the plaintiff against the defendant, the well-known music publisher, in :Holborn. for an alleged infringement and piracy of the copyright, of which the plaintiff was assignee, of the overture and other portions of the music in Auber's opera of Era Diavolo. The cause h,.d been tried, and a verdict given for the plaintiff. upon which Mr. Jervis, who appeared for the defendant in the last term, obtained a rule nisi for a nonsuit. That rule had been ably argued by counsel for both sides, Mr. Jervis and Mr. Martin. The Lord Chief Baron, in the coarse of a most lucid and elaborate judgment, proceeded to discuss the principal question in the cause, and the general and common law right, as also the meaning and intentions of the seve ral Acts of Parliament relating thereto, particularly the Bth of Ann and 54th Geo. 111., whether a foreigner who composes or writes a work, and publishes it in a foreign country, has any right, either statutable or at common law, to a copyright publication of such work so published in a foreign country, and by him subse. quently published an this country, or in any part of the United Kingdom, and cited the cases and the arguments and decisions of the judges in Miller v. Taylor—A'Beckett v. Donaldson—Clementi and Ward, 2 Barn. and Cress.—Page v. Townsend—D'Almaine v. Bossey, and the dictum laid down by Lord Brougham and Lord Abinger, as also the Vice-Chancellor of England in the several cases brought before them and bearing on the subject. The Chief Baron concluded his judgment by stating that the Court were unanimously of opinion that a foreigner who composed or wrote a work, and published it in a foreign country, was not, either by the common or statntable law of this country, entitled to a copy. right of such a work in this country, and entitled to maintain an action for an alleged infringement or piracy of such work, and that the plaintiff; being as assignee, was in the same position. The rule nisi for a nonsuit must, therefore, be made absolute. The other Judges acquiescing, the rule was made absolute. SHERIFFS" C01)1,1'. June 13. (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff KENNEDY.) YARDING V. BOURNE.—LOAN SOCIETIES. The plaintiff in this action is the proprietor of Anderton's Hotel, Fleet street, and the representative of a Loan Society. The de. fendant was a borrower, and the action was brought to recover the sum of 41. 10s., the balance of a bill of exchange for 151. Proof was adduced of the loan, and signature to the bill; but for the defendant it was urged that this was a Society, although without a name, and not incorporated by any Act of Parliament, therefore that the action by one individual, in behalf of the rest, was not sustainable. It was urged that juries should protect unfortunate persons who, under the allurements held out by loan societies, bound themselves to pay extortionate demands ; and that they had been made was proved by the Secretary, who admitted, that al. though one bill had been paid and the same securities given, " hard cash" was demanded to the amount of 13s. for inquires, besides a charge of 10 per cent. per annum, and the " rules" charged for again. The Learned Counsel said that a loan society was the short read to ruin. The UNDER-SHERIFF said that some of the points might have been raised legally by pleas. The defendant's COUNSEL said it was competent for the jury to say whether the sum paid was not sufficient, the whole 151. not having been advanced, but " inquiries" deducted, and 10 per cent. interest, being exorbitant. The Learned UNDER• SHERIFF thought the matter of fact for the jury was, whether or not the defendant had " undertaken and pro mised to pay" in the manner set forth in the declaration. The Learned COUNSEL said other actions were pending on the same Bill. Sure , y the jury might reduce the damages if they thought proper—if they saw it was a system of extortion to get costs over and over again. The UNDER-SHERIFF said the jury could only consider the issue-- had the defendant made the bill? There were suggestions raised for a defence and pleas on other grounds, but as the case stood there appeared to be no difficulty. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. POLICE IN TELLIGENCE. THAMES POLICE. The whole day at this Court was consumed in hearing a series of cases the evidence to which is utterly unfit for publication, so unparalleled was the revolting infamy it disclosed. In one of the police-sheets from the Denmark-street station-house, St. George's-in-the• East, H division, were charges by which Jacob Gill, 38 years of age, a tailor, residing at No. 6, William. street, Gloucester -street, St. George's-in-the-East, and Hart ley Archer, both professing to belong to the Society of Friends or Quakers, and also to have taken the teetotal pledge ; Thomas Young, a journeyman brewer; and two Jew boys, named Henry and John Hart, &gar makers, who are cousins, and each about 16 years old, the former residing at No. 3, New-street, Mile-end Old-town, and the latter at 16, King-street, St. George's-in-the-East, were accused of an abominable crime. On the previous day Edward Hyatt, a tailor, but at present carrying on business as a baker, at 74, Long-alley, Worship street, made a communication to Inspector Donegan, who in stantly sent Sergeant. O'Brien ,5 H, to make the necessary in quiries, ant; the result of an active investigation was, that the whole of the prisoners were in custody on the above charge be fore ten o'clock the same night. Mr. Pelham defended the two Quakers, Gill and Archer ; Mr. Lewis appeared for the Jew lads, and Young was undefended It appeared that the boy Hyatt went on trial to Gill as an assistant i❑ the tailoring business, on Thursday last, and from his account of the proceed ings these suspicions were excited against Gill. The evidence of this boy, who fainted away several times whilst giving has testimony, was absolutely hideous. The evidence against Hart ley Archer was equilly conclusive. At the instance of Mr Lewis, the case of the two Jew lads Hart, was taken first, and they were acquitted and discharged. Young was locked up in default of bail for the misdemeanour, and, on committing the prisoners sjill and Archer oa the ca pital charge, Mr. BRODERIP said charges of so shocking a nature were very easily made, and, at the same time, very difficult to be di/proved. The evidence in the present cue de. .., ...........--__ pended on the testimony of a lad, who gave it under of , patently great mental suffering, as was obvious to all r e cb sent, and yet he went through the horrible details, volt, it was . his (the worthy magistrate's) most painful du t 0 .hear, with great clearness and precision. It would be , .4 , Jury to say what credit they would attach to the ladspeo:i deuce ; but, whatever might be the result, he could only " !hut the disgusting details of abominable profligacy, es in the °dials narrative which had occupied the Court (l . ; that day, exceeded In its revolting grossness all !hat pi under his observation during the twen t y y ears in which 11 0 : 1 sat upon the bench. Gill he would c ommit as principal 00.; charge, and accessory to another. Archer should be all? ... 7 0 mitted as a rincipal, and it would be the province of a P . 12.1 say whether p they were or were not guilty o f the crimes Or against them. LAMBETH.
