duty of the State, while leaving . parents and their spiritual guides free to instruct children in their pe culiar religious t e nets, to ensuent re and to thereasoni chldren such a d e velopment of their judgmng powers as will enable them in mature years to choose among the numerous creeds whose contending claims divide society. The undertaking no doubt is difficult. The priests and devolves of all sects oppose it. The congregations re paesented by fir. Baines are as hostile to it as the Synod of Thurles, or the Rev. Mr. Dennison. But their oppo sition must be defied and overcome, if common sense, sound manly morality, and true spiritual religion are to have fair play. And we believe the time has come w hen a Government clear-sighted enough to see its duty, and c ourageous enough to undertake it, would be zea lously and effectively supported by an overwhelming ma jority of the community.

It was again alluded to in the Royal Speech at the commencement of the present session. It seemed scarcely second even to the Papal aggression, and the public mind was wrought to the highest pitch of expectation as to the Chancery reform that should purify the " Augean stable" from the filth accumulated during successive centuries, and which had caused the Court itself to become a bye-word and reproach— "to stink in the nostrils" of the British people. Her MAJESTY said— " The administration of justice in the several de partments of law and equity will, no doubt, receive the serious attention of Parliament, and I feel confi dent that the measures that will be submitted to you with a view of improving that administration, will be discussed with that mature deliberation which impor tant changes in the highest court of judicature in the kingdom imperatively demand." Well, at length the precious bantling has been brought to light, the mountains have been safely de livered, and we venture to say a more ridiculous abortion (the PRECIOUS BUDGET only excepted) has never appeared to disappoint the reasonable anticipa- tions of the community. Not one of the evils that have been so loudly and so justly complained of are removed, or even rendered in any degree more toler able. The only one of the burdens that pressed so heavily on the Lord Chancellor as to render it almost impossible that any merely mortal man could get through the multifarious avo cations from which he is to be relieved, is the dispensation of the ecclesiastical patronage, which the Premier, with a disinterestedness worthy of the highest praise, has kindly taken upon his own shoul ders. This must have been " the last straw that broke the camel's back !"—the labour which it was imposssible to get through ! I How many weary hours must have been occupied in conning over the qualifications of the clerical claimants for the loaves and fishes! What anxious consideration must have been applied to the bestowing of the prizes on the most competent candidates ! And yet, strange to say, we never heard of a keeper of the royal conscience complaining of overtoil in that branch of his duties, nor was it in that department that heavy arrears were allowed to accumulate. No, the judgments there at least were given without procrastination ; and we are bound to say, generally speaking, with sufficient im partiality, so soon as the clerical friends and relatives of the Lord Chancellor for the time being, were pro vided for. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. Now, however, they are to be handed over to the Prime Minister, to be distributed by the " pa tronage Secretary of the Treasury," it being found that " the whipper-in" has not sufficient sugar-plums at his disposal to satisfy the independent representatives of the people, who, having purchased their constituencies by bribery and corruption, are inclined to make the most they can of their bargains. In this respect we must say, that bad as it was to leave the matter in the hands of the Lord Chancel lor it will be far worse to transfer it to the Treasury. Why, we ask, should not the recommendation of the Committee on Official Salaries have been at. tended to ? Why should not the various ad vowsons have been sold to the highest and fairest bidders, and the proceeds appropriated to augmenting the means of public instruction ? There would be some benefit to the nation if such a course as that were adopted, but we earnestly protest against the patronage being converted into a new species of Par liamentary bribery for securing the subservience of some of the chosen representatives of the people. If this be sanctioned, we may further ask, what part will be given to the Irish Brigade ? We may soon find Roman Catholic Members practically appointing to benefices in the Church of England. We hope that this part of the project will be indignantly re jected, and that if the recommendation of the Com mittee is to be slighted, matters may be permitted to remain in stutu quo, and not be rendered far worse than at present, by the transfer of the patronage from the LORD CHANCELLOR to the Patronage Secre tary of the Treasury. As to the new Supreme Court, the idea is manifestly stolen from the story alluded to We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Pays (one of the organs of the Elysee) con tains the following announcement:— " It is affirmed that a Ministry, of which M. Odilon Barrot will be the head. and of which certain members of different fractions of the majority will form part, is nearly formed, and that the Moniteur of Monday will contain the names of the new Ministers." It is said that the PRESIDENT has been compelled by M. OniLoN BARROT to give way, and that neither M. BAROEHE nor M. AcHILE FOULD will be members of the new Ministry. The Siicle declares that the Legitimatist leaders have received orders from the Count DE CHAMBORD to op pose any attempt to prolong the powers of the PRE SIDENT. On Saturday the Legislative Assembly decided by a majority of 44 that the proposition of M. Da RAINIE and Colonel LABORDE on the subject of the construction of the Paris and Avignon Railway should be referred to a Select Committee. This decision is regarded as a victory by those who advocate the con struction and working of railways by the State, in stead of leaving them to private enterprise. The Committee of Initiation has reported against the proposition of M. PASCAL DUFRAT for allowing all journals to be sold in the public streets, and in favour of the proposition of M. BAZE for absolutely prohibiting the sale in the streets of all political journals. LONDON STOCK EXCHANGE, MARCH 29.

The Loup CHANCELLOR has not sufficient time to hear the cases in his own court, and he is to be enabled to do so by having the Master of the Rolls and one of the Common Law Judges associated with him, each of whom will have quite enough to do in their respec tive departments without being taken into Chancery. Practically, it is nothing but putting the Great Seal into Commission, a matter which was so properly ob jected to last year, with the proviso that two of the three Commissioners at least must be present in every case. How, we ask, is the Master of the Rolls to be spared from his own Court ? Are not there considerable arrears already in consequence of his necessary attendance on the judicial branch of the Privy Council, and what may be anticipated when the greater part of his time is to be expended in assisting or acting as substitute for the Lord Chan cellor ? Again, where is the common law judge to be captured while the circuits are going on ? Three or four months are thus occupied when no such assist ance could be obtained, the town judge being fully occupied at Sergeant's Inn. There is also the un questionable evil arising from the constant change in one of the chief judges, and the possibility of the two who must sit, differing in opinion, and the proceedings thus becoming abortive. We think we have said enough to show that the Bill will not answer in its present shape, that it will be by no means an amelioration of the existing sys tem. There will be still the junction of the judicial and political functions, the appeal from the Chan cellor, aided _and assisted by, the, Master of the Rolls and a Judge, to the Lord Chan cellor and some of the Law Lords. His time, too, will be so fully occupied, that he will be un able to attend to the suggestions for legal reforms that may from time to time be brought forward. Nothing, in fact, has been achieved„the great oppor tunity is deliberately misapplied. The so-called Chancery reform is, in fact, a fitting associate for the precious Budget, and we may say of them, in the words of the old song— " All, sure a pair were never seen, So justly formed to meet by nature." ANOTHER STRIKE AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE— (Tnis DAY).—About half-past nine o'clock this morning a great disinclination appeared on the part of the paiaters and carpenters to proceed with their work. On the necessary inquiries being made, it appeared that the workmen of Messrs. Fox and Henderson have been allowed one hour to breakfast; but that on Saturday the half-hours during the week were deducted from each man. No strike was contem plated by the firm, and the consequence was that nearly every man left the Exhibition by ten o'clock. The painting and carpenters' work is now beginning to be of great importance to the firm, they wishing to forward what they have to do in anticipation of the forthcoming fine weather, and the fore man was endeavouring to provide fresh hands. THE SOLICITOR-GENERAL.—Mr. Page Wood has issued his address to the electors of the city of Oxford, so liciting a renewal of their suffrages, now that his seat is vacant by his being appointed Solicitor-General. The offer, he says, was unsought for and unexpected; and in many respects he should have preferred retaining an independent position; but Lord J. Russell having declared that a Bill had been actually submitted to the Cabinet for the extension of the suffrage, and would be introduced in the next session, he saw no reason for refusing to accede to the proposal. Bar. Wood then states he is firmly attached to the Church of England, and describes his objections to Papal encroach ment, but he reminds the electors that those who accept office under any Government must occasionally sacrifice their peculiar views in many matters of detail. lf, he says, the electors are willing to return him on this undertaking, he will endeavour to merit their confidence by a firm adherence to liberal principles. We believe there is no prospect of an opposition. The day of nomination is on Thursday next, at twelve o'clock. TUE PUSEYITES AND THE NEXT PARLIAMENT.-- We have good reason for concluding that whenever a general election comes—and it cannot bo very remote—nearly every one of the Puseyites at present in Parliament will be turned out of their seats. Great dissatisfaction was before felt with the Tractarian tendencies of certain gentlemen; but since their votes against the Papal Aggression Bill, their respective constituencies have lost all patience with them. Mr. Card well, we are assured, has not the shadow of a chance for Liverpool, nor has Mr. Smythe for Canterbury. Though Ripon is little better than a nomination borough, it is doubt ful whether Sir James Graham's Puseyism will not prevent his re-election. In the counties, too, the work of ejection, on account of the Tractarian predilections of certain honourable gentlemen, will be carried on without remorse. It curiously happens that the I'useyites in Parliament are mostly Free traders, so that between the Protectionism and Protestantism of the county constituencies, the Tractarian representatives can look for no quarter.—Morning Advertiser.

Great expectations are beginning to stimulate the ambition of the Protectionists. Under Lord STANLEY they are in hopes of securing to themselves the per quisites of place and the prerogatives of power— simply, because the formation of any other Cabinet appears to be impracticable in consequence of the di vision of political parties in the Legislature. Pre cisely for the same reasons, the Whig section of the Parliament were sanguine of measuring out red-tape in Downing-street, towards the close of Sir ROBERT PEEL'S administration. The weakness of their anta gonists gave the aspirants an opportunity, such as must otherwise have been denied to their unassisted incompetence. In either instance it promised to be only a modern illustration of the two men fighting for the jackass, the prize being purloined by a third party during the disturbance. Happily for the Whigs they were enabled to realize their dreams of office to their entire satisfaction, aided throughout by two most advantageous circumstances. The magnanimous assistance afforded them by the illustrious statesman they had succeeded imparted strength to a Cabinet which was moreover based upon public confidence in regard to its maintenance of free-trade principles. Unluckily for the Protectionists, they can enter upon the labours of administration under no such propitious and sustaining auspices. They are about as unlikely to meet with magnanimity from their predecessors as support from the mul titwie. Stang into a state of morbid irritation and fretful susceptibility by the derision cast upon them prior to their unlamented downfall, the ex-Ministers will be little inclined to deal leniently with the measures introduced by their conquerors. Upon this point there can be little cause for uncertainty. Equally secure may we feel that no influence can induce the vast mass of the population to submit tranquilly to the re-imposition of even a moderate impost upon provisions. Nevertheless, in spite of these very manifest con siderations the Country Party are beginning to cal culate pretty confidently upon the seizure of the red boxes, and not only upon this, but upon their reten tion. They are accustoming themselves to meditate so continually upon the probability of an accession to power that, like the beadle of Lansmere, they are becoming daily more and more " bumptious." Pecans are already being chaunted by the organs of the Coming Government. Maga itself leads off the charms very appropriately in its number for the first of April. Others will, no doubt, emulate the fervour of its exultation and waft the new Ministry into place upon the breathings of this most sweet applause. Certainly very little need be accomplished by the next holders of office, in order to demonstrate their superiority as administrators over the members of the departed Cabinet. For assuredly their can never have been witnessed before now such a beggarly dis play of empty projects in the way of improvement as those chronicled in the history of the Whig Adminis tration. From the first moment of its entrance into authority its system appears to have been that of per petual procrastination. A grandiloquent programme of reforms has been announced with all ceremony at the commencement of each session by the First Lord of the Treasury—promises innumerable have been made to the various aspirants for legislative improve ment throughout the United Kingdom—but invari ably, towards the close of the annual toils of Parlia ment, it has been discovered that scarcely anything whatever has been accomplished in the desired direc tion—the majority of the national hopes being de layed until the next year for their realization. Session after session, we say, this has proved the case with the most lamentable regularity. Ses sion after session the expectations of the community have been baulked. Each long looked-for innovation has melted away time after time like a Ministerial mirage in the midst of a Parliamentary wilderness. Scarcely a solitary concession of any value has been made to the wishes of the population. Scarcely a Bill of any real importance has passed through the Legislature at the instigation of the Government, if we except, perhaps, the one relating to the encumbered estates in Ireland. This, with the Act conferring the right of the constitution upon our principal colonies; another granting an extension of the franchise in the sister island ; another regulating the laws relative to navigation ; another affecting the interests of the mercantile marine ; another gradually remitting the duties upon certain descriptions of sugar ; another referring to the health of towns ; another to metropolitan interments, and one or two minor measures of no especial inter est, or perceptible necessity—have been the meagre and paltry advantages conferred upon the country by the Whigs during the four years and a half in which they have held in their grasp the reins of the Go vernment. After remaining in power for so long a time upon little better than sufferance, they will at length be driven over to the benches of Opposition. Nor can their downfall be matter of regret to any beyond the range of their own immediate partizans, if we only take into consideration the conduct pursued by the Cabinet during the course of the present session ever since the 4th of February. Easter is rapidly drawing near, the Whitsuntide holidays will follow not long afterwards, and as yet absolutely nothing whatever has been effected in the way of legislation ! Nothing ! Even the Bill introduced by the Earl of CARLISLE in reference to the restriction of the sale of arsenic has only passed as yet through one of the Houses of Parliament. The Budget continues to the present moment in nubibus. The various esti mates are being bungled through at intervals in a way more slovenly than can be agreeable to the aspirants for retrenchment. Measures of all sorts and sizes are undergoing the process of transformation into enactments—some half through, some a quarter, some only a sixth, mere fwti or embryoes, that may turn out, for all that we can guess just now, the veriest abortions imaginable. And this is the position of affairs in the Legislature at a moment singularly and even lamentably inopportune, immediately before the opening of the Great Exhibition, when observant crowds from all quarters of the globe will be congre gating in our metropolis. Added to all which, ill feelings have been excited on all hands by the incom petence or perverseness of a certain section of the Cabinet, so that when the actual period of its declen sion has closed with their retirement, they will quit their seats with scarcely a semblance of commisera tion. Let not the Protectionists, however, exult over much on the prospects of power opening before them, but remember that its pleasures are now more than ever accompanied by a sense of terrible and almost overwhelming responsibilities. There is a 'story recorded in the classic pages of JOE MILLER respecting three Irishmen, who finding at a late hour of the evening that they had still fifteen miles of their journey unperformed, comforted them selves with the assurance " that it was only five miles a piece." The moral appears to have sunk deeply into the mind of Lord JOHN RUSSELL, and to have formed the foundation of the measure of pseudo- Chancery reform which, after so long preparation and se many sonorous flourishes, was at length intro duced on Thursday evening. The measure was announced last year, and although the , details were not revealed, in order to give ample time for the mature and attentive consideration which the vast iraportanco of the subject so eminently merited, there were sufficient indications, however, that the Pr emier then contemplated the separation of the ju dicial an d political functions of the office, and that one Pe rm anent judge, at least, would be appointed to preside over the Court of Equity, it being probable that another jurisdicti on o f th e H ouse Would be selected as chief o f the appellate so as t o remove the anomaly of of Lords, not "from PHILIP drunk to PHILIP Lord Chancellor in the Court of an appeal sa me learned and distinguished per sonage„e of Peers, as .fthe • in the Ho. ence Chance ry berbu tot from the the of the latter position was qu i te sufficient to in the disperse Any errors that might hav e arisen SPAIN.

MADRID BOLZA, MARCH 24.—0 n the Bourse, the Threes were at 36 354. The Bourse would be closed on the 25th, on the occasion of the file of the An nunciation. GERMANY. Austria bas, it is said, proposed to the Germanic Confederation to purchase the German fleet. Accounts from Berlin of the 20th state that the Prussian Cabinet has presented its ultimatum to Austria on the subject of the German question. The circulation of the pamphlet, entitled "Dres den Conferences," is prohibited throughout the Aus trian dominions. The Independance of Brussels says : " A conflict, which appears likely to lead to the dis solution of the Second Chamber of Hanover, has arisen between that body, which claims the constitutional right of refusing the taxes, and the Government, which, sup ported by the First Chamber, refuses to the Second the absolute exercise of that right. It was on the occa sion of tho reductions which the latter wished to make in the salaries of the members of the Supe rior Court of Appeal, and of the refusal which it gave to the notes of credits for the provin cial Administrative Councils, that the conflict as sumed it serious character. The Government has de termined on not yielding, and the dissolution of the Second Chamber may, therefore, be expected. It is M. Stuve, the ex-Minister, who appears on this occasion, to be at the head of the opposition." It may be remembered that three Constituent As semblies, elected since 1848 to revise the Constitution of Wurtemberg, have been successively dissolved by the Government almost as soon as they had met,because the Liberal party were found to be in a majority in each of them. It was to prevent such a thing occur ring a fourth time that the King of WIJETEMBERG has just decided that the elections shall not take place according to the Constitution npw in force, but ac cording to that of 1819. His ordinance on the sub ject is equivalent to the abolition by decree of the existing fundamental law, and to the return to the old institutions. The King of SAXONY had already set an example on this point to the King of WURTEM BERG. TURKEY. Advices from Constantinople announce the arrival in that city of KIANY Pecna on a special mission from the PACHA of EGYPT to the SULTAN. The PACHA has, it is said, acceded to all the demands of the Turkish Cabinet. The earthquake at Rhodes on the 28th ult. occa• sioned terrible devastation, the fortifications were completely destroyed, and scarcely a house was left without a trace of the calamity. Along the Anatolia shore whole villages have been destroyed, and several even have completely disappeared. At Marmorice 500 hou.s were laid prostrate. At Maori all the stone buildings have been knocked down. Two hills have met and swallowed up the village of MPslajik ; and at Egendjik a mountain fell into the port. The casualties are calculated at about 1,000 souls. The insurrection in Bosnia was rapidly spreading. GREECE.

When following the hounds his Lordship , when mounted, had occasion to approach one of the field who was riding a young unbroken animal, which suddenly commenced kicking, and a stroke from one of his heels catching the Noble lqarquis inside the left leg just below the knee, the calkin of the animal's shoe cut through his boot and flannel drawers, and stripped off the flesh to the bone. At first it was feared the bone had been fractured, but happily this opinion proves to have been unfounded. Alarm immediately seized the whole field, and the sport of the day was discontinued. Lord Granby was conveyed to the Castle, and having undergone the necessary surgical exa mination, was put to bed. The pain from the wound was considerable, and continued to increase during the night, and remained unabated all day on Friday; on Saturday morning it was deemed advisable to procure additional sur gical assistance from Nottingham, the more especially as during the previous night the Noble Marquis had very little rest. Last night, however, his Lordship rested well, and up to nine o'clock this morning the symptoms of the noble patient are so favourable as to warrant a hope that he will be enabled to resume his Parliamentary duties shortly after the Easter recess. During the last three days much sym pathy has been manifested in this town, indeed throughout the Vale of Belvoir, anti in the towns of Leicester, Notting ham, and St amford. MARCH 3l, 1851.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were about 7,000 bales, of which 500 Americari were taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The sales com prised 6,000 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham at Bd. to Bid., 200 Egyptian at Bd. to 81d., and 400 Surat at sd. to sid. per lb. The market was well supplied with the mid. and lower qualities of American, and a good demand was experienced from the trade.—Railway Shares remain without improvement. There is a steady market for Grain to-day. Upon the subject of the Corn trade, the Bankers' Magazine supplies the following interesting statistics of the imports into the United Kingdom since the harvest of 1850: Wheat. Qrs. Other Grain. Qra. Total Qrs. Twenty-two weeks from 31st Aug., 1850, to 29th Jan., 1851 .. • • 1,980,000 996,000 2,976,000 six weeks ended 12th March, 1851 396,000 2,376,000 And the weekly results have been— Wheat.

Qrs. 90,000 45,0)0 135,000 35,000 101,000 10,000 34,000 It will be seen from these figures that the weekly averages of the price of Wheat have again began to aecend by a small trifle. It will also be seen that the importations of the last six weeks, compared with the importations of the preceding six months, exhibit a very considerable decline. Our markets have now fallen so low as to exclude even the produce of the last four abundant harvests in France. The position of the Iron trade, as reported from the South Staffordshire district, is steady, but there is no briskness. There are moderate orders, and stocks are not excessive, but the competition with Wales and Scot land was very severe. It is not unfair to assume, pro bably, that iron will come into more extensive use this year for various purposes, the Exhibition having given an impetus to its application; but while production is so ample, an advance in prices is improbable. The report of the Amsterdam Stock Market, on the 29th inst., states that the tendency was more favorable for Dutch Stock, and Spanish and Portuguese Bonds were animated. The negotiations for the treaty of commerce between Belgium and the Zollverein will be received in about a month, according tO a local jour nalist. By the steamer Pacific , we have accounts of the 19th inst. from New York. Business was tolerably good, and expected to be flourishing during the ensuing sea son, but the money market was tightening and the loans were not so easily negotiable, the obligations of the community having in creased faster than their means of payment. The circulation of the banks was greatly:inflated, owing to the largely-extended issue of Railway Bonds, &c., upon the strength of the presumed stimulus afforded by Californian gold. It is hardly expected, however, that any seriouus revulsion of credit will occur in the United States, as California will probably yield treasure for some time yet with comparative regu larity. The total value of merchandise exported from New York in February last was 3,171,319 dollars, the shipments to Great Britain being la 4 rger than usual, compared with the aggregate. This was produced principally by the increased ship ments of Cotton. To Havre and other Continental ports, the exports have been limited. To Chagres and the other ports of Central and South America, the ship ments have been to about the usual extent. Accounts of the Bth inst. from Havannah, represent the island as being quiet, and state that General Concha was exerting himself for the amelioratian of the colony. Complaints are made of the excessive port charges. The treasury is said to be very low. Port-au-Prince advices of late date state that business was dull there, and from St. John's, Porto Rico, we learn that there had been several shocks of earthquake during the week ending the 22d ult. The Coffee crop of Hayti will fall short of an average. The article could not be delivered on board at less than 10 to 10/ cents. Spanish per lb. A great number of political Mulatto prisoners had been released, but a conspiracy had been discovered among the blacks exclusively, with persons of distinction at their head. The Tehauntepec route becomes more tangible every day. On the southern coast of that isthmus, at the Ventosa, an excellent harbour bad been discovered, where vessels of all sizes will find, it is said, a good and perfectly safe anchorage, and much safer than Vera Cruz, the south wind not affecting it. The Bay of Salina Cruz, on the Pacific shore, also afforded excel lent shelter here, as the north winds had but little effect. The English Stock Market is exceedingly quiet again, bat very firm. Consols have been marked 961 1 for Transfer, and 961 1 for Account. The premium on Exchequer bills is 51s. to 545. We are now fast approaching the time when the dividends, amounting to between six and seven mil lions, will bo paid upon the English Stocks, the transfer books for which are at present closed. Be sides this there will be dividends payable upon various foreign stocks, and it will then be seen whether any of the surplus will be invested in shares or stock. East India Bonds brought 57s to 62s premium. In the Foreign Market there has been scarcely any business doing. Spanish Five per Cents. are firm at 211 t, and the Passive at 0 .4. Chilian Three per Cents. have been marked 66, and Brazilian Old Bonds 92. Russian Four-and-a• Half per Cents. are at 98. Mexican are about 331 4. Railway Shares are all cheaper this morning, the decline being in proportion to the amount paid up. The Midland have fallen about 11., the Lancashire and Yorkshire 11 to 11. 10s., North-Western 11. to 11. 55., South-Western 10s. to 11., South-Eastern 4, Great Nor thern 1, Caledonian 4to and South Wale 3 1 to Id.

The provincial markets held on Saturday were mostly firm fur all kinds of Wheat, at an advance in the quota tions of is per quarter. There was more doing iu Barley, especially in Making and Seed parcels, at hi g her rates. Nu change took place in Malt, Beans, or Peas, but, in some instances, Oats and Flour sold at enhanced currencies. The latest accounts f rom N ew Y or k s tate that next to nothing was doing in Fl our f or shipment, yeti holders refused to accept town r a t es . The advance n tho price of the article, in France, has materially checked the u well as business. In the Baltic and Bleck Sea ports, s in Holland, the quotations rale firm.

The sum" bers of home-fed Beasts on offer were seasonably exten sive, and of full average quality. Notwithstanding that the dead markets were rather scantily supplied, and that the weather had become more favourable for slaughter ing, the B!et trade was in a very sluggish state, and last week's prices were with difficulty supported. The top figure for Beef was 3s fid, per 81bs. From Norfolk, Sussex, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,250 Scots, Short Horns, &c.; from other parts of England. 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland, 318 horned and polled Scots. There was a decided increase in the supply of Sheep compared with that exhibited on Mon day last; hence the demand fur that description Of stock was in a sluggish state at barely previous currencies.

WR IGHT. arguments h , a t v h i n e g c b o e u e r n t w ad a j s o adjourned very much crowded. Mr. BOLT, who resumed his arguments on behalf of Dr. Doyle, said he had very shortly stated on Saturday that there way - a great difference between the case pre- , sented on the petition of Mr. Berkeley, and that pre sented by counsel at the bar. There were two mute complaints presented at the bar—first, that Dr. Doyle with the consent of the Earl and Countess of Shrews bury , had sent Miss Talbot to a very improper school, and had allowed her to remain there, and thus com mitted a fraud upon the court; and secondly, that an attempt had been made by the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury to entrap and force her into a convent in the autumn of 1850, after she had completed her educa tion. The petition, on the other hand, said the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury had endeavoured to force her into a marriage with a person of the name of Roebefoucault, which was disagreeable to her, and that having refused to contract this marriage, they had, by way of threat, sent her back to:the convent, not SS pupil but as a postulant, and had endeavoured to force her to take the vows of obedience to the obligations of the convent. Now there had not been a shadow of evi dence in proof of this charge, than which a more nefa rious or serious one was never made before the court. The statement at the bar only went thus far—that a priestly domination had been exercised over her from her earliest infancy, and influences gradually instilled into her mind with the view of securing her money for the Roman Catholic Church. This discrepancy between the two statements so made deserved the • • serious consi deration of the Court. If it were that true the Earl and Countess had endeavoured to force the young lady into a distasteful marriage Mr. Berkeley was entitled to have the prayer of his fal pe titions grunted, but if hi s as s er ti on to t h at e ffect was Of• te and there was not a s h a d ow o f ev idence in proof s accuracy—he deserved the severest reprehensio n which the Court ever visited on a person who presented a petition on behalf of an infant, and ought to have h is petition dismissed with costs. The Learned Counsel next adverted to the statements respecting the school at tached to the " Lodge" at Taunton, contending that it was a fit institution for the education of a young lady' in her position. It was a highly respectable school, an . was intended for the educatio n of the children o f hi g lu ! Roman Catholic families, and it had been considered desirable place for Miss Talbot, considering her position, fortune, and connexions, and also the delicate state of her health, which her guardian was anxious to improve. Ho (Mr. Bolt) considered that both charges, viz,, that this was an improper school, and that she hud been continued there in opposition to the order of the Court of 1843, entirely fell to the ground. He now proposed to examine the charge that a priestly influence had been exercised over the young lady in order to get her money, for the purpose of extending that prieserttly influence in other directions, and thus to compel ho withdraw from the world. This, he might observe, was wholly inconsistent with the other charge, that a co ercive attempt had been made to induce her to enter into a marriage to which she objected. The two charges wetin ° suicidal—they might have done very well as plots two separate dramas, but to include them in one drama only showed the want of skill on the part of the drare List; and that this was an exhibition got up to excite boldly and arouse public attention and feeling, lie avowed, and would leave the Court to judge w hether it was not. But on what did this monstrous inconsistency depend? Mr. Berkeley, in his affidavit o t , quoted the effect a passage from the works of Dr. Wise man, that no one could enter the Roman Catholic Church ex cept by one gate—unconditional submissionhe cto the teach tonclusion lug of the Church, and drew therefrom that all educated in the faith were bound to submit to the dictation of priests and the superi°rs of conventsj But that was not the only church which said that its teaching was imperative. The same doctrine was held other churches. He by the Church of England and what hoped that his Lordship would place no reliance the religious oblige ever on any statements resp e cting, • tions imposed on Miss Talbot except such as whomthe utmost credence would be g iven, and by the superior of the convent, whose a ffidavits were before the Court. Mr. Berkeley stated that. absence he was refused an inter view with her at the convent in the the superior, and that when he did have an interview the your g lady said she had plenty of time to consider whetter she would take the veil, but in the course of some ccnverss tion cast anxious glances at the superior, as if she were under improper influences. The affidavits on the other_ side distinctly and positivel y denied that she was placed under any su ch restrictions, and added that the Earl and . the Countes s of Shrewsbu r y , on going abroad had request ed that no o ne should see her in tie_e absence of the superior, and that she had 12 0 b ee n placed by them in the conven t as a poste' but, 01911 gh she paight voibly boon ti potahlotw The • Lean to tho alle; Earl and When The Lb' there appe Miss Talb , that there that she ha of Shrews! proper . 11 011 a ♦lB the idea come befog afterwards Baying the that the lai MARL] EXTENSI hums was I and intelli having stol and other groad-stre , The pros last she v L iquare, a ear empi orning her bed-i tither th eiied to the same n absconded, and missed JeWellery, From circ' knowledge ties of the 1 0 the poli float 40/.
