THE ARMY AND NAVY. (From the United .Service Gazette of this day. THE TWELFTH LANCER3.—It 13 stated to be the in tention of the Government to purchase twenty•five of Colt's revolving, or repeating pistols, for the use of thi s Regiment on Gip° Service. We suppose that no more are to be had at present, or it would seem ridiculous to supply only that number of men with what is admitted to be extremely serviceable to cavalry. The carbines or fusils of ;which we lately spoke (double barrelled) will, it is saul, cost no more than 41. 103. each.

We the happy to note an improvement in our mining prospects, there having been a tolerably large amount of transactions during the week, in the heavy dividend mines in particular—whilst the same increased . d eman d is perceptible follo we d by transactions, in most of th e smaller, both dividend and non-dividend, concerns; and we have no doubt that the nearer we approach the middle of next month the more marked will be the itn 13rovement in mining property g e n'rall.Y. As to prices, there is scarcely an instance to be noted oc a decline, whilst, on the other hand, a very marked rise has taken place in the stocks most sought after. The Mining E x change C omm i ttee have called a meet ing of i ts mem bers fur Teei lay next, when we have reason to believe that a more liberal system will be pro posed and advted, so as to secure a much larger body both of town and country members, and to afford greater facilities to dealers and brokers, and thus make a Lon don Mining Exchange whet has so long been required— the central mart for the purchase and disposal ot mining shares, and obtaining ietortnetion so difficult of attain ment through other chantals. We intended to have made some observations, pointing out the most desirable COUr.P, in our Opinion, to pursue; bur, perhaps. it is better that the matter should be left to the discretion and manaaelnent of the parties concerned. In the Metal Market, Copper is in steady demand.— There have been some considerable dealings in Lead; and an improved price is ant , cpated —Tin is very ac tive, and quotations well maintained. Large purchases have also been ma& in Tin - Plates.—Spelter is ad vancing. The price of gold bars (standard) was 31. 17s. 9d. per ca.; silver in bars (ditto), sa. 0j a. per cz.; and new dollars, 4s. 11-Id. per z.

"'The biddic7s for 100 tons of Newtonard's lead ore varied from—Pontifex and Wood, 81. Bs., to that of the purchasers, Newton, Keats, and Co., at 101. ss. 6d. per ton. Caliington Mines sampled 45 ions of lead ore. Trelawny Mine sampled 100 tons (computed) silver lead ore, ot good quality, on Saturday last. Great Wheal Baddern sampled on Saturday about 60 tons of lead ore, and a further sampling will take place on the 30th July; this corm - ern seems to be steadily pro gressing, both in actual returns of ore and in the disco very of new ore ground, some of which is of superior quality. The 51 fm. level produces already a considera ble quantity of ore, and when further developed there is every seas'-n to expect it will ba enhanced both in quan tity and amount.

At Wheal Russell some splendid gossan, strongly stained with " greens" of coppo:, has been raised from Murcliesen's shaft. At Treloweli Mine, the shaft at Harrison's is nearly down 22 fahoass, lose yielding 2# tons of good quality ore per fathom.

At Wheal Golden, Thorne's shaft is sunk and cased to 8 ft. under the 87 fm. level; and on driving an 87 fm. level the returns will he grewly increased, as the lode is productive both north and south. In tie winze under the 77 south the ground is good, producing 9 cwts. of cro per fm , and north 7 cwts. p er fm.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE. We witnessed last night the fifteenth representation of The Duke's Wager at this theatre, and in spite of the melting weather and innumerable out-of door attractions, witnessed also an excellent house. Having already noticed the play at some length, it is unnecessary to say more than that both in construction and language it is of the light and lively class which keeps an audience in good humour, without wearying or detaining them too long on one subject— points always to be considered, and more particularly so at this sioson of the year. At the same time, there is sufficient interest of a serious character to produce variety and keep attention on the alert. Mrs. hean'e personation of the heroine is true. natural, and lady like; effective without effort, and equally striking in the prominent points as in the detail of the charact er . M r. Kean was impressive, gentlemanlike, and identical. Hi s part is not a prominent one or a powerful on e , b ut h e showed his artistic skill, as he invariably does by a dis tinctness and earnest desire to make the mo s t o f very limited materials. Mr. and Mrs. Kean, standing, as they do, at the head of the . English stage, o ff er an example well worthy the study of all young artists, in the care and attention which they equally bestow on characters of first or second-rate importance. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO GLOUCESTER ROUSE. MADEMOISELLE RACHEL. We mentioned briefly yesterday that her Majesty the Queon, and hi s R oyal Highness Prince Albert, accom panied by th e Ici ng of the Belgians. honoured the Duchess of Gloucester with a visit at Gloucester House, on Thursday evening, and that Mademoiselle Rachel re ceived the distinguished compliment of being invited to perform before the Royal party. The circle—originally limited to the members of the Royal family—was subsequently extended, so as to in clude about 150 members of the elite of the aristocracy. Her Majesty arrived punctually at half-past nine', the time announced for the commencement of the entertain ment, and remained until eleven, at which hour the per formances terminated. The attendance of the great tragedian originated in the desire expressed by the Duchess of Gloucester to witness the performances of Mademoiselle Rachel, a de sire which, from her Rvyal Highness's inability to attend throug , iout a dramatic performance at the theatre, ap peared unlikely to be gratified. The following were the arrangements for the evening:— ATHALIE.—RACINE. Acte Deuxieme. Athalie Joas... Mathaa Abner Josabet ... Madlle. Rachel. Mad Ile. Palmire. ••• ••• ••• ••• M. M Chotel. ... M. J ouanni. •• • •• • •• • ••• M adlle. Jouassin. ANDROMAQUE.—RAcum Acte Quatrieme. Flermione Madlle. Rache' Cleone, sa confidante ... Alad Ile. Avenel. Pyrrhus ... M. Raphael. Oreste ... M. Chotel. The first portion (Athalie) was declaimed by Made. naliselle Rachel in evening dress; the latter (Andre). marine) in complete costume—Mademoiselle Richel wearing, for the first time, an entirely new dress of white clshmere, very richly embroidered. During the interval of the performance, M. Levassor amused the Royal and distinguished party by his Scenes comique. Lieuteuant.Colonel Liddell, by command of the Duchess of Gloucester, has conveyed to Mr. Mitchell her Royal Highness's thanks for having arranged so perfect an en tertainment. Lieutenant. Colonel Liddell has, at the same. time, by command of the Queen, signified to Mr. Mitchell, on the part of her Majesty, a similar approba tion, and requested him to notity to Mademoiselle Rachel the high gratification which her Majesty, in conjunction with the King of the Belgians and the rest of the Royal family, experienced in witnessing her ini mitable acting. Colonel Liddell was also desired to ex press the Royal appreciation of M. Levassor's amusing performances. MRS. KEZtfBLE'S READINGS. The extraordinary excellence of these readings consist in the marvellous variety imparted to the characters, and :he strength and individuality with which each personage is represented. Remarkable and unequalled as Mrs. Kemble has shown herself in thus giving an actual ex istence to these creations, yet it is impossible but that some of them must be in greater accordance with her sympa• thies and capacities than others. Her genius tends, as we take it, towards the heroic; the high, the courageous, the daring, and we feel that the deeper passions, love, hope, and grief, and the graver emo:ions, and the pro founder speculations, call forth more strongly her genius. It is therefore not surprising that we should imagine we perceive in her comedy less impulsiveness than in her tragedy; and that it does not excite iu a manner cot• responding to her sterner portrayals; or to those ren. derings which, having a mixture of sentiment, admit of a deeper shadow and sterner contrasts. It, how ever, must also be remembered that there is some thing in one's own idiosyneracy, and that each of us has a temperament and a tendency which in duce us more forcibly to appreciate some utterances in preference to others. The mighty author himself is not always equal, MIA some of his plays are much better calculated to produce strce g effects than others. These reflection* were forced upon us in listening with great attention, and we must add with great plea sure, to Mrs. K emble's reading of Much Ado about Nothing. That any author should have been able to fix into veritable words such a character a Beatrice is most wonderful. Tho charms, the graces, the witchery of such a woman are as aerial, as changeable as the tints of the sky—depending so much, indeed, so entirely on manner and mode, that she is a creature whom every one pictures in the colours of his own fency, and decks with the grac=s and inimitable charms of such speci mens of womanhood as he may have the good for tune to have seen in lite's journey. It is for this r ason one of the most perilous parts an actress can undertake; and that it is so is proved by the few per formers Clat have made a reputation in it. It is still a tradition of the stage that Mrs. Abington has never had an equal in the part. So difficult is it for a woman to be w ety and graceful, sententious and enchanting; Mrs. Kemble's reaeing gives the wit, but not the grace; the gaily but hardly the simple impulsiveness of the joyous creature; and she , succeeded much better in bringing out the nit that Benedick utters, sail the humour of the situation in which he has involved him-elf. The scenes with Hero and ad the graver portion were admirably given. The Degberry scenes were rendered with a full pointed recogattioe of that incarnation of beedledoin; and the greet command she has over her voice, gave a striking effect to the old and fatuous Verges. Though we may prefer Mrs. Kemble in the mete serious plays, we must say we know no one who could approach her in reading this play; and that it was equally admirable for its characterisation, senile of the poetry, and complete recognition of the author. We should in justice add that it received a larger portion of applause than others which we have more admired. HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS. MR. OSBORNE'S MATINEE MUSICALE. Mr. Osborne has been long known to the musical public of Paris and London as a composer and pianist of distinguished ability. His works, which are chiefly fur the instrument be professes, are characterised by a light and facile vein of melody, considerable fancy and vivacity, elegant phraseology, and remarkably brilliant and well constructed bravura passages. As a player, his equality of tone, delicate smoothness of touch, and distinct articulation, entitle him to rank amongst the first performers of the day. Mr. Osborne played, on this occasion, three composi tions of his own, namely, a fantasia on airs from Don Giovanni, a " Serenade," a trio for piano, violin, and violoncello, in which he was ably assisted by Messrs. Sivori and Piatti, and a caprice entitled " loquiCude et Bonheur." From these clever works we select the trios, as possessing a higher order of merit than either of the others. POISONING CASES IN SOUTH NORTHUMBERLAND.-- HALTWHISTLE, JUNE 26.—T0-day the adjourned inquest upon the body of Mr. Thomas Teasdale, lately a farmer at Kellan, near Haltwhistle, was resumed before the coroner for the district, Mr. Stephen Reed, at the Manor House Com mercial Hotel. It will be remembered that at the last sitting of the jury a warrant was issued by the coroner for the ex humation of the body of John Atkinson, the former husband of the accused, Mrs. Teasdale. Atkinson died about twelve years ago, under very suspicious circumstances ; and the re sult of Dr. Gl over ' s ana l ys i s of his remains proves that poison had been taken by him. After an hour's deliberation the jury returned a verdict of Wilful Murder against the ac cused, Mrs. Teasdale. The coroner immediately issued his warrant for her apprehension. She will be tried at the next Northumberland assizes. The jury stated that they could not separate without expressing the sense they entertained of the important services rendered by Dr. Glover, in com pleting a very laborious analysis of the stomach and remains of Thomas Teasdale and John Atkinson, and hoped that the magistrates would consider themselves justified in giving an order to Dr. Glover over and above the fees allowed by the statute.

SCULPTURED STONES IN THE NORTH.—Some time ago Mr. Chalmers, of Albar, obtained drawings of all the sculptured stone obelisks in Angus, and got them litho graphed for the members of the Bannatyne Club. The work has excited considerable attention among historical students in this country as well as abroad, and certainly has laid a foundation for correct comparison of these with other similar remains of a symbolical nature in other parts of the county, In Aberdeenshire there is a considerable number of these obelisks, which, either from the more primitive state of the people or the hardness of the granite, are much less elabo rate than those in Angus. None, however, can exceed the obelisks in Easter Ross for beauty of execution. It is -angu lar that no monument of this class has been found south of the Forth. The Spalding Club proposes to obtain drawings of all the stones in the north of Scotland, and the artist who depicted the Angus stones so accurately and well for Mr. Chalmers will soon commence his labours. Circulars have been sent to the clergy of about 240 parishes in the north, asking for information as to the locality of any sculptured stones in tk•eir districts, but as vet answers have been ob tained from only about 80. The return to the circulars is oarraneed that the parti es h ave on l y to write down a few words, and we trust that the deficiency will soon be supplied.

Seated a, the feet of the Panegyrist of the Biblical Bards and Prophets, the writer has himself raised his voice in exultation, and in its eloquent resonance we cannot but trace the fervour of a nature more than common in its contrasting, but still harmonious cha racteristics of subtlety and elevation. Doomed as the journalist is by necessity to the drudgery of glancing through so much that is frivolous, it is something more than merely refreshing for him to encounter evidences like these of very rare sensibility and of most invigorating and unquestionable power. Some times we are tempted awey into desert places by the sparkle of some mirage of letters, but here we have arrived at a veritable oasis in the wilderness of maga zine compositions, melodious with the fountains of faith, and blooming with the flowers of illustration. Kinglake has told us in his admirable "Eiithen" that on reaching the regions of vegetation he plunged un der the cool green of the boughs with somewhat the same luxurious sensation with which the diver plunges into the waters at noonday. We can appre ciate the feeling, having to traverse so many tracks of intellectual barrenness, and this we may observe with serious truthfulness without any quibble in reference to our designation. There fore it is that we eagerly welcome a writer like this critic in the Eclectic, who can tree himself from the conventionalities of his craft, and who, thinking much, is not afraid to utter his meditations, and entertaining an ardent sense of admiration, shrinks not from giving utterance to his enthusiasm. Hence it is that in the really splendid paper before us we havediseovered marks of very noble ability and evidences of truly eclectic ap preciation. It matters not that the arguments ad vanced by the reviewer are somewhat esoterin in their character, or that to the unreflecting they are somewhat indefinite in their tendency, seeing that the diction in which the article is penned is alto gether too recondite of its kind to secure to it any wide. spread popularity. The critic has manifestly addressed himself with predetermination to a restricted but at the same time a select and sympathising auditory—those who are ambitious of penetrating beyond the superficial veil of Nature into the arcaoa of her mysteries, and who are not unac customed to regard the poet as—above all other men —a microcosm. With the plaudits of such hearers he will doubtless be satisfied, and it is thence con sequently that we would point the dexter finger of criticism approvingly to this brilliant and vigorous effusion. It would only be detrimental to the in terest of a complete perusal to analyse either the pur port or the manner of the investigation. Sufficient might be said, possibly, by pronouncing the object of the writer to be one in accoriance at once with the vigilance of the student and the simplicity of the ca techumen, the humility of the Christian and the dig nity of the philosopher. While remarking, at the very out:et of his inquiry, on the singular result of the division of knowledge—a circumstance not less striking than that much-talked-of division of labour—few men, indeed, ascending, like Hum boldt, " the Pisgah of science," and tracing, as in the " Kosmos," " the unity of his complex world"—it is ingeniously observed that, instead of men, we find every where "indurated callings, personified crafts, and incarnate creeds." Nay, says he yet further— " single faculties done in flesh and blood, palpable ruling passions, and embodied affections." Exulting in the exceptions occasionally witnessed in this re str:ction, or rather insulation, of our faculties, the writer anticipates the prospect of the advent of the Coming Man, the new and long-expected Avatar. His multiformity, says he, must be the multiformity of Nature, " incalculable complexity, but absolute unity," not, as be grotesquely phrases it elsewhere, surpassing his fellows, as some mere mummer or denizen of smatterdom—" by the height of a greasier pole or the breadth of a ghastlier grin." Prior to these allusions, however, the Eclectic reviewer has remarked rather wittily upon the incongruous aspect of the world as it is at present, with its perpetually clashing diversities of prejudice and predilection. " Peace congresses," he observes, " reply to physical force ; barricades laugh sulphureously at the pacificator. Romish ag gression is met by British intolerance, and the inter dict of the Protestant bigot is answered by the genial Mussulman with the freedom of St. Sophia. The statesman is rebuffed by its democracy, the de democrat by its omniarchs." And so unin terruptedly in this epoch of confusion, or, as the writer in the Eclectic calls it very admirably, " this grand kaleidoscope of interminable transforma tion:: Arriving by consecutive preliminaries of ar gument at the precise object of his disquisi tion, the reviewer at length grapples boldly with its vast and massive proportions, desig nating the volume under his scrutiny as a demonstration—in reference to the Holy Bible—of its " literary superiority and po etic pre-eminence." Perhaps the most masterly portion of the entire article is that in which the critic proves that this view of the subject is the most logical in the way of elucidating the authenticity of the divine writings, namely, the demonstration of their literary superiority and, infinitely more than that, of their poetic pre-eminence. The delicate subtlety and yet masculine precision with which this portion of his arguments is unfolded is entitled to our very warmest admiration. To this division of the paper we, therefore, the more emphatically direct the attention of our more meditative readers, satisfied that they will thoroughly coincide in this particular with ourselves. Many splendid and majestic ideas are scattered through the article here referred to in profusion. We are compelled from the length to which our notice has already extended to content ourselves with one, but that one we feel assuredly will be ample in truth as an illustration. It is this. The reviewer has been suggesting very beautifully that in our nomenclature of the arts we should look upon music not so much as their sister, but "should rather consider her their mother" —adding " perhaps (in a high sense) it may be found that music is the one art; and the highest form of music is poetry, or the music of things." He con tinues, "In it there is such an association of the ac cordaet and discordant, as may produce in the soul the consciousness and effects of harmony." " And harmony ?" he exclaims inquiringly, " And har mony ?" "We only know of it," he replies, "that it is the manner of God in the universe." That is a grand thought and uttered too is words of noble sim plicity. Regretting that we cannot enter more mi nutely into the examination of this very brillian' article, we believe that it will elicit from others, as has from ourselves, its just meed of eulogium.

Ire was bound, however, to state that the press of Mr. Laing, who was editor of a newspaper as well as an ildvocate, was not carried away, but placed in charge of the police r so as to prevent his using it. Orders were, he under stood, issued to seiz- the press; but the person to whom ! they were given was afraid to execute them in conse quence of a sale of the .property, fictitious or real, ' which had taken place. There was another point. He (Earl of Ellenborough) understood the Noble Lord to state that the Affghan and Sutlej accounts of Jotee Pershaud had been settle d. From the statements of an officer just arrived from India, ho (Earl of Ellenborough) understood that neither were settled. There was one other point in which the Noble Lord's reply was not entirely accurate. The Noble Lord had stated that the two members of the mi litary commission who formed the majority had de ferred to the opinion of the third member, who formed the minority, and had therefore laid their report before the President in Council. This was a mistake, inasmuch as the military board, by its constitution, was bound to do so. The question which he (Earl of Ellenborough) put respecting the amount due to Jotee Pershaud had not been answered by the Noble Lord. He (Earl of Ellenborough) understood that the amount unquestion ably due to Jotee Pershaud, on the showing of the mili tary commission, was not less than from 30 to 35 lass of rupees, or between 300,000/, and 350,000/., of which not a rupee had been paid. That BUM, in addition to the amount lodged as security for the performance of his contracts, which amounted to 5 lass of rupees more, or 50,0001., gave a sum of nearly 400,000/. his property, in the hands of the Government, according to the last ad vices. The Gwalior accounts alone had been settled. In conclusion, the Noble Earl said that such was the au dacity, the courage, the fidelity, and the zeal of Jotee Pershaud, that he had in disguise entered the camp of the enemy, bought grain in their bazaars, and brought it in for the support of the'British army, whilst the war was proceeding. Lord BROUGHTON explained. The returns were then ordered, viz.:— "A return of the date of the final settlements of the accounts of Jotee Pershaud, an army contractor in India, for the campain of Afghanistan, or Gwalior, and of the Sutlej respectively. "An account of the total sum found by the military board to be due to Jotee Pershaud, and unpaid on the 2d of 51aq, 1851, on such accounts as had been then laid be fore that board for the said several campaigns, and for the campaign in the Punjaub respectively. " An account of the sum deposited by Jotee Pershaud as security on his undertaking several contracts for the said several campaigns respectively, and of the total sum under these heads which remained in the hands of the Government of India at the above date." The Marquis of LONDONDERRY gave notice of a motion on the subject of the continued incarceration of Abd-el-Kader for Monday. The motion would be for the further correspondence which had taken place be• tween the English and French Governments on the subject. Lord REDESDALE gave notice of a motion for an alteration in the appellate jurisdiction of the House. He thought the chief law officers of the Crown should have seats in that House for the honour of the law and the benefit of suitors, in the same manner as the Church was represented there by the bishops. His motion was for an address to the effdct that her Majesty should order the offices of the Lord Chancellor, the Chief Justices of the Queen's Bench and Common Pleas, and the Chief Baron of the Court of Exchequer should be erected into baronies which would entitle them to writs of sum mons to that House, by favour of the said offices. He thought it might also be necessary to summon the chief judges in the courts of equity, but he would not include that proposition, nor would he name a day for his mo tion, merely throwing it out as a suggestion for consi deration. Lord CAMPBELL thought the suggestion deserved very great consideration; but the form of the proposi tion presented a difficulty, inasmuch as the judge so sum moned would be only entitled to a seat in the House of Lords while he h'ld office. Lord REDESDALE said this difficulty could be easily got over by the judge resigning his seat. He ap prehended if a bishop resigned his see, he would be no longer a temporal baron. Lord CAMPBELL said that the object stated by the Noble Lord could not be affected by an address to the Crown. It could only be effected by a legislative measure. Lord BROUGHAM presented a petition from certain solicitors, in favour of the County Courts Extension Bill. BRIDGES (IRELAND). On the motion of the Marquis of CL ANRICARDE, the House passed through Committee the Bridges (Ire land) Bill. The Fee-farm Rents (Ireland) Bill was passed through Committee. The Law of Evidence Amendment Bill was read a third time and passed. The Leasehold Tenure of Land (Ireland) Act Amend ment Bill, which stood for second reading to-day, was withdrawn, after a short conversation, in which the Lerd Chancellor, Lord Campbell, and Lord Beaumont took part. Their Lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS. June 27. ADJOURNMENT OF THE HOUSE. On th© motion of Sir G. GREY, it was ordered that the House, at its rising, do adjourn till Monday next. ADVERTISING VANS. In reply to a question put by Mr. MANGLES Sir G. GREY sa id th at h e h ad given no pledgeto take any steps for the removal of advertising vans, but he had merely stated that the police had powers which, to a certain extent, were capable of abating the nuisance, but if they should prove insufficient, it must be matter of consideration whether they should not have entrusted to them greater powers for that purpose. Mr. REYNOLDS presented a petition from a place in Ireland against the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill. ECCLESIASTICAL TITLES ASSUMPTION BILL. On the reading of the order of the day that this Bill as amended should be considered— Mr. MILES rose to move the insertion of the clause of which be had given notice, and which w as as fol lows:—" That if a p e n a l ty shall be recovered by judg ment or verdict against any person for a second offence under this Act, it shall be lawful for her Ma jesty's Secretary of State fur the Home Department, if in the circumstances of the case it shall appear fit, by notice in writing signed by him, to require such person to depart out of this realm within a time to be limited by such notice; and if such person shall afterwards be found therein, it shall bo lawful for her Majesty's Se cretary of State for the Home Department, by war rant under his hand, to give such person in charge of one of her Majesty's messengers, or of such other person or persons to whom he shall think fit to direct such war rant, in order to his being conducted out of the king dom." In moving the adoption of this clause, be had to express his regret that it had not fallen to the lot of the Hon. and Learned Member for Midhurst (Mr. Walpole) to introduce it. He (Mr. Miles) moved the clause on the ground that it was in accordance with the wishes of the people of this country, and he felt that they wree bound to make the Bill as stringent as possible, to pre vent Papal aggression. After the interminable discussion which had taken place in the different stages of this Bill, and the interruptions which had been given to the busi ness of the House, it was not necessary he should address them at great length ; but he thought it behoved every individual to endeavour to make the provisions of the Bill as complete and stringent for the object in view as possible. They were the more bound to do so, as they had been told by Hon. Members from Ireland that the provi sions of the Bill could not be carried into effect in that country, and that it would be treated with contempt, and its provisions trodden'under foot. What, he would ask, was said by the organ of the Roman Catholic body in Ireland? In a late number of the Tablet the House would find in what spirit the Bill betore the House was spoken of. The Hon. Member here read an extract from a late number of the Tablet, in which the editor stated that in a short time half a dozen rescripts would be received from Rome. In one. case ho could confidently state that a brief would be issued for the con secration of Dr. Vaughan to the bishopric of Killaloe. But it was not in this country only that the see of Rome was pursuing its aggressive course; and to prove that such was the case, he could refer the House to a letter which had been addressed by Lord Cowley to Lord Pal merston, in which that Noble Lord referred to the ag gressions which the Catholic Church was making in the district of the Upper Rhine. The conduct which had been pursued in this country wider the authority of the Pope,.totally destroyed the securities contained in the Bill of 1829. He felt confident that unless something was done to strengthen the Bill the Protestant people of this country would be disgusted, for the Bill, as it stood, was quite inefficient for the end it was intended to ac complish.—(Hear.) He, therefore, hoped the House would consent to the addition of the clause he had proposed. Sir GEORGE GREY, after observing that the clause proposed was somewhat similar in its character to the one which bad been moved by the Hon. Member for Midhurst (Mr. Walpole), said that there was, however, this important difference, that the proposal of the Hon. Member for Midhurst could have been carried into effect, but it was quite clear that the amendment now proposed could not be of any utility. In the amendment of the Hpnourable Member for Midhurst measures were pro vided for keeping a party out of the country when once he was sent away. But for that purpose the proposed clause was quite inoperative. In point of fact, a party removed under this clause might return, and they would therefore have to begin de novo. He regretted that the Hon. Member (Mr. Miles) had thought it ne cessary to propose the present clause, utter the discus sion which had token place on the clause of the Hon. Member for Midhurst. He hoped, however, the Hon. Member would not insist upon the clause. There being Loud cries for a division, strangers were ordered to withdraw, when the House divided, and the numbers were— For the claim) Against it l4O Majority against the clause —39 Mr. KEOGH then moved the addition of a clause to the following effect :—" That nothing herein con tained shall be constructed to annul, repeal, or in any manner affect any pr ov i s i on conta i ne d in an A ct passed in the eighth year of the reign of her present Majesty,. intituled An Act for the more effectual applieltio o l ; i t ) c t i Charitable Donations and Bequests in Irelancl, w... render illegal or void any disposition of property by 11 . 1 . or otherwise already made, which, but for the passing of this Act, would have been legal and valid." Lord J. RUSSELL said be bad no objection to the addition of the first portion of the proposed clause, stop ping at the word " Ireland," and leaving out all the words that followed. With this alteration the clause was agreed to, and wa , ordered to stand part of tho Mr. KEOGH then proposed the addition. of the fol lowing clause ;—" That nothing h•roill oult}ine4 shall JUNE 2B, 1851. in any manner prevent the reception in evidence, in any court of law or t cpity in this kiugdorn, of any letter of ordination or otter document conferring ecclesiastical powers upon any clergyman of the I{ 'man Catholic p Church, which, but fo r the passing of thi s A ct, would have been so received" The A rTORNEY-GENERAL opposed the clause, and said he thought the House should not adopt any clause which would sanction any title assumed against the provisions of the present Bill. Tne House then divided, when there appeared— For the clause... ••• ... 45 Against it ... ••• ••• ... 220 Majority ••• ... —175 On our return to the gallery we found Mr. KEOGH addressing the Llewe. He felt the greatest surprise at the course pursued by the Noble Lord with reference to the next clause he had on the paper. He had spoken to the Attorney-General arid the Solicitor-General, who had both received him with the greatest courtesy, and intimated their approval of that clause, and he. was distinctly given to understand that it would receive the support of the Government. Not five minutes since the Secretary of the Treasury had told him to be brief, for the Government would support him, and the Noble Lord would keep his men for that purpose if he did not speak too lohs;—(Laughter)—and now the Noble Lord told him that he would not support it. — (Hear.) Of all the rapid changes that had taken place in the progress of this Bill, and there had been many, this was the most rapid and the most unaccountable. In one breath he was told that he should receive the support of the Government—in the next the Noble Lord turned round and said he did not consider himself bound by any thing that had passed.—(Hear.) He would, however, propose the clause, though no doubt from this change of intention, he would be beaten, but he begged Honourable Members to recollect that a few minutes ago it had all the strength of the Government in its support.—(Hear, hear.) What he proposed by that clause was, " That no proceedings shall be taken under this Act save and except by her Majesty's Attorney-General for the time being in England and Ireland, and by the Lord Advo cate in Scotland." He need net at any length detain the House by stating the obvious reasons why such a clause should be passed. If it were rejected, the Catholic archbishops and bishops of Ireland would be placed at the mercy of persons who, from sectarian and personal motives, would be too happy to cause them annoyance and injury. Bigots and fanatics might institute pro ceedings under the Act, and he asked if it was desirable that the vindication of the prerogatives of the Crown should be left to such persons? Was it not better that it should be entrusted to the first law officers of the Crown, acting under the sanction of Parliament? He believed it was for the interest of the country that this should be the case, and therefore he should certainly divide the House on the clause, which he Low begged to propose. Lord JOHN RUSSELL said, as the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had alluded to him, he would state in a few words the course he had taken, and the course he in tended to take with respect to this clause. When he came into the House he had not the slightest intention of agreeing to it; but without having paid much or par ticular attention to it, he meant to oppose it. Some of his Right Hon. Friends around him thought, however, that as the clause would have the effect intended by the Bill, naneely, that no action should be brought except by the Attorney-General, that it might be introduced, if with no positive advantage, at all events without much injury, to the Bill. At first, on that statement, he thought that it might be so introduced, but upon reconsideration of the subject, he came to the conclusion that it was beet not to introduce any clause into the Bill which had riot been fully and maturely considered, and agreed to by the Government. With respect to the first clause of the Bill, no penalty could be proceeded for under it; and in the second clause, which specified the penalty, it was stated that no prosecution could be instituted, except by the Attorney-General. That was the law as laid down in the Act of 1829, and they had preserved that law in this Bill.—(Hear, hear.) There could be no fines under the first clause, and under the second there could be no prosecution except by the authority of the Crown. He thought, therefore, the amendment was wholly unneces sary, and that it would be far safer to leave the Bill as it was.—(Hear, hear.) Mr. REYNOLDS ,was of opinion that the arguments adduced by the Noble Lord for opposing the clause were in its favour. If there was any doubt as to whether prosecutions could be instituted under the first clause, the amendment would put an end to those doubts, and if it was the intention of the Bill that no prosecution should be instituted, except by the authority of the Crown. where could be the harm of introducing this clause? Why should there be any doubt left on a question of so much importance as whteher Roman Catholic archbishopa and bishops could be sued for penalties by common informers, or if not for penalties, at least for misdemea nour.? There were plenty of such persons in Ireland who would take a pleasure in doing so. He had had some experience of them himselt. When he was Lord Mayor of Dublin, in last year, a doubt was ex pressed as to the legality of his election, and there were penalties attached to certain acts if per formed by him without due authority. Informations were laid against him by a society in Dublin, called the Priests' Protection Society, composed of ultra-Protes tants, and he was served with 210 letitats—(Laughter) —each of them for the recovery of 501. penalty. He was put to an enormous expense in defending him self. Now he wanted to know from the Noble Lord if he was prepared to place Dr. Murray, the Catholic Archbishop of Dublin, and the other Catholic arch bishops and bishops of Ireland, at the mercy of common informers? It so, there would be actions against them without number. He trusted the Noble Lord would yet consider the clause which had been proposed by his Hon. and Learned Friend, and which would place the power distinctly in the hands of the first law officer of the Crown. Mr. H. GRATTAN asked if the Noble Lord was aware the feeling that was new raging in Ireland, where mobs of had already broken into chapels and violated Roman Catholic altars? As an instance of the extreme feeling which Protestants could display, he might state that iu a certain town in the north of Ireland a Roman Catholic priest had been sentenced by the magistrates to be stripped and publicly flogged in the streets; and, had it not been tor Lord Plunkett, the then Attorney. General for Ireland, the streets would have been reddened with his blood. lie should like to know how Protestants would think of the Bishop of Exeter or the Archbishop of Canterbury, bring flogged in the streets of Dublin.— (Cheers.) He protested against the conduct of the Mi nistry it this matter, which, if not an intentional error, was certainly a political blunder. Sir J. GRAHAM did not think it a fit course to in flict on the House a legal argument, more especially as, on a former occasion, tie had expressed very fully the opinion which he still entertained with respect to the legal scope and bearing of the Bill. He stated then, and he repeated now, the opinion teat the offence against which the first clause was directed was, by that clause, an indictable offence. He did not, however, as he had said, wish to inflict a legal argument upon the House now, but if there was any doubt upon the subject by the construction of the law of 1829, there was none what ever by the present Bill. The first clause was not only a declaratory, but an enacting clause.—(Hear, hear.) It declared the brief in question illegal and void, and that being so, removed any doubt as to an indictment lying against any infraction of the clause. But, in fact, all doubt on the question had been removed by the answer of the Attorney-General fur Ireland to the question which he (Sir J. Graham) put to him, and which, as he understood the Hon. and Learned Gentleman, was to the effect that all similar briefs would fall under the operation of the declaration in the Act. Now similar briefs would be required for the appointment of all Catholic arch bishops and bishops in Ireland; and, by the first clause, all of these briefs would be declared illegal and void. If that was the legal effect of the clause, then it was obvious that any person whatever in Ireland might, animated by a vindictive feeling—without the sanction of the Government, contrary to its feelings and wishes—have the power to prefer an indictment to tho grand jury. If they found a true bill the parties indicted would have to take their trials before petty juries, the majority of whom might be Protestants, and quite ready to convict of miedemeanour.—(Hear, hear.) It was necessary to put a stop to such proceedings for the purpose of preserving the power of the law officers of the Crown, and for the sake of the peace and good go vernment of Ireland, the adoption of the clause proposed by the Hon. and Learned Member for Athlone was im peratively necessary. If it was rejected now that this open protest had been made, great and serious would be the responsibility of those who resisted that amendment. —(Great cheering from the Irish Members, and cries of "Divide.") Mr. M. J. O'CONNELL said surely her Majesty's Government were not going to let that speech go un answered.—(Hear, hear.) If the Roman Catholics of Ireland were to be strangled, let them not be strangled by mutes.—(Cheers.) Mr. LAWLESS said the Government would not have bad dared to treat an En g li s h M em b er i n t h e wa y they He treated his Hon. and L earne d F r i en d on t hi s c lause. nt thatwould to heirtake conduct that opportunitys hould h e r o eni fwarning e remembered the t someG O v futuree n ni e ou th id at n h o e t time.—( Hear.) did L n o o rd t authorise t RUSSELLhor i t Ho t' n. and Learned e a in should sabhnod mu e be ofatliberty se aliy person could assure u s raeyet that H h o e us w e oppose the clause proposed by Gentleman.

They had communicated with the Secretary cf State for the Home Department, and it teas said that he was also in favour of the clause, and after that he (Mr. K e ogh) had no opportunity ee communicating with the Noble Lord. The Noble Lord r e ti re d i nto the House. Now in addition to that, it had n stated to him by the Secretary for the Treasury (although the Noble Lord might riot now ecknowledg e it) that if he would trot say much to the Howe in reference to his proposed clause that he would keep a Ilouse to support it.—(Order, order.) Now these were statements which the House ought to hear. He considered that the whole matter from the communication thus made to him was settled, and in consequence of that, and understanding that the Noble Lord had authorised the communication he bad told his friends that the Noble Lord (Lord John Russell) and his men would not oppose th e c l ause, and now he hoped the Noble Lord would allow his men to support it. Sir G. GREY said that with respect to him, the Hon. and Learned Member must be mistaken, for he had given no such authority us the Hoz and Learned Mem- bee bad referred to. It had bean submitted to him whe ther there was any objection to the clause, and he said he had an objection to it, and that he thought it was not necessary. Mr. SCULLY thought so far as the Noble Lord (Lord Juhu Russell) was concerned, the explanariea was satisfactory, but he hoped that the Secretary to the Treasury (Mr. Hayter) would give some explanation to the House on the subject.—(Hear, hear, and cries of "Order Red Question.") Mr. HAYTER had no hesitation in saying that he had a communication with the Hon. and Learned Mem ber for Athlone (Mr. Keogh), but that conversation was of a very different nature to that which had been now related to the House by the Hon. and Learned Member. The communicetion was not an authorised one.—(Hear, hear, interruption, and cries of " Order.") It was not—it had not—been stated to him, beyond the mere expression, that he understood—" Name, nage," " Spoke," and cries of " Order." He certainly arfreiited that he had stated that he would request Hon. Members to remain in the House, in order that they might be in their places if necessary. The Hon. and Learned Member had said that he had stated that he had had a communication with the Right Hon. Gen tleman the Secretary of Statellor the Home Department [ Mr. E:Eonti—l did not sa y so .)—A n d t h at i t was ma d e in a confidential manner. 'The communication was not one made by him from the Members of Government. He was stating to the Hunourableand Learned Member that he understocd (he did not say from whom he under stood) there was no objection made to his clause— (" Name, name")—and he stated, moreover, es be tied already said, that he would request Honourable Members to remain in the House, so that a fair division might take plf , co. He had never, he repeated, stated to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman a communication on the subject from the Noble Lo r d or S i r George Grey. The statement was made in the conversational and con fidential tone which were uniformly adopted and re spected between Members of the House.—(Haar, hear, Question, question, and cries of " Divid e .") - Mr. KEOGH rose to explain. amidst renewed cries of " Order, order, Spoke, spike." He hoped th e H o n. Member (Mr. Hayter) would remainin his place, which he saw he was about leaving. That which the Hon. Gentleman said was a confidential communication, he begged leave to tell him was not so.—(Hear, hear, and Order.) The SPEAKER—The Hon. and Learned Member's remarks were not explanations, but a reply. Mr. H. GRATTAN thought that the Hon. and Learned Member ought to be heard. Mr. MOORE, amidst the general excitement, moved the adjournment of the House. and evoked cries of " Order, order," " Go on, go on." Lord J. RUSSELL—The Hon. and Learned Gentle man, no doubt, wished to explain, but as he (Lord J. Russell) thought, more then was said. Mr. KEOGH did not wish to trespass on the House unnecessarily. He was now in order, and the Hon. Gen tleman had distinctly admitted that every statement of his (Mr. Keogh's) was correct, entirely correct, and that he had said he would keep his party in the House. Well, now, he would mention what he did not state before. The Hon. Member said that the Hon. Member for Abingdon would not press his motion in opposition to his (Mr. Keogh's). Well, now, what did the Hon. Gentleman mean by saying that the communication was a confidential one?—(Bear, hear, and cries of Spoke, spoke.") If he thought it a confidential communication, why did he say that the Noble Lord at the head of the Government would not oppose the clause, if he (Mr. Keogh) would limit his observations?—(Excitement, cries or " Hear, hear," " Order, order, and " Spoke spoke.") Well, then, how did it become the Noble Lord now to come down and repudiate the statement of the Hon. Gentleman the Secretary of the Treasury?—(Re newed excitement, and cries of " Order.") Sir F. THESIGER assured the House that, as far as he was concerned, he bad not the slightest communica tion with any Hun. Gentleman, and ho wished that the matter would he so understoore FUART WORI'LEY hoped that the House would not do more than was on the face of the clause. The professed object was, that there should be no in dictment by the powers of the Act of Parliament. For his own part, he had not the slightest doubt that the meaning of the clause was that no proceeding.; should be taken; and if the Archbishop of Weatmiester should , not choose to comply with the law, why, then,. under this clause no proceedings could be taken, and in that case, according to the Hon. and Learned Gentleman's clause, he would say that no indictment or proceeding should be taken.—(clear, hear.) Mr. KEOGH was quite willing to adopt the form in the clause which the lion. and .Learned Recorder's re marks suggested, namely, that no indictment or Crown proceedings should be taken under the .Act of Parlia ment, unless with the greatest caution. Strangers were ordered to withdraw, Hon. Members calling loudly for a division, and the galleries were speedily cleared, when there appeared— For Mr. Keogh's clause Against it ... 71 ... 232 Majority --161 against ••• Mr. REYNOLDS then moved the following clause:-- " That nothing herein contained shall be construed to repeal or affect an Act pissed in the tenth year of the reign of her present Majesty, intituled "An Act for the maintenance of the cemeteries at Golden Bridge and Prospect, in the county of Dublin, and to create a perpetual succession in the governing body or committee fur managing the same." Ile consi dered it of great imp°, tauce that such a clause should be adopted. There were two cemeteries in Dublin, which were established under Act of Parliament, and had existed for a period of twenty years; but under the provisions of this Bill. Archbishop Murry, of Dublin, who had now the privilege of licensing Roman Catholic clergymen to officiate in the administration of the rites of the Catholic Church in cases of interment, would no longer be free to do so. He should like to hear the opinion of the Attorney-General on the matter. The ATTORNEY-GENZBAL for England could say with perfect sincerity that nothing could be more opposed to his f chugs than that the provisions of the Bill should in any way interfere with the Act of Parlia ment to which the Lion. Meniber for the city of Dublin referred. Is was not intended by the Bill to interfere with any private Act of Parliament, and he saw no rea son, therefore, for the introduction of such a clause as that proposed by the Hon. Member. Mr. REYNOLDS expressed his surprise that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman could have so expressed him self, and when the Hon. and Learned Gentleman gave it as his opinion that the Dublin Cemeteries Act was a " private" Act of Parliament, his belief was that the Hon. and Learned Gentleman could not have read the Act. The Hon. Member then read the 27th section of the Act, showing that it was a public and not a private A t. Sir F. THESIGER said his Honourable and Learned Friend the Atturtiej-General was perfectly correct in what he stated. There was a distinction between public and private Acts of Parliament. 'The recital of an Act did not make it either of a private or public nature; and the Dublin Cemetery Act was a local Act, and when Dr. Murray was mentioned in that Act, as Archbishop of Dublin, it did not make him any the more Archbishop of Dublin. The Bill could not in the slightest degree affect the Cemeteries Act, and the Hon. Gentlemans clause was no:, therafire, necessary. Sir R. INGLIS opposed the clause. After which the Committee divided, when there appeared— For the clause ... 32 _ Against it ••• ••• - , 150 - Kijority against the clause ••• —llB Sir F. TiIESIGER then 1030 to propose the follow -eg amendments, tut as soon as he had done so the Irish Roman C,tholic Members rose, and lett the House in a body, amid loud cries of " Hear, heart .

' his own feeling of disappoint-. magnanimous opinions of the Noble Lord, that such a measure should have been brought forward. If it were not too serious a matter, he should say that it was perfectly ridiculous, after the Protestant feeling of the country had been stirred to the foundation, after the nation being excited from one end to the other, that all this should have ended in the dish served up by 113 ° Noble Lord. He believed that bad the Noble Lord been permitted, unchecked and uncontroled, to 'T1 -fine his oen course, to act upon his own feelings and wishes, the measure would have been of a very different nature. But unhappily the Noble Lord lost an o[portunity of establishing a reputation which would have lasted so long as the history of Eiiglatid endured; but at thcesocleircnitead lion of others he let " I dare not wait on I would." They were at all e ven ts i n d e b te d to hi m for the decla ration he made, and as far a s l a nguage was on he did all that was necessary. The Noble Lord also stared, in introducing the Bill, his intention to be to make the law uniform in the United Kingdom; he over and over again expressed that intention, and on the motion of the Hon. Member for Rochdale, he ridiculed the idea of allowing a recript which would be illegal in England to be legal in Ireland. The Noble Lord, in express and positive terms, made no possible distinction between the two countries, and he would beg th e H ouse to bear with .hieu for a moment while he showed that he would have been perfectly justified in adopting such a course. There could bo 110 doubt whatever that the Act of Richard the Second was made to apply to Ireland; by Foyning's law of Henry the Seventh, and in the reign et James the First, an Irish priest named Later was indicted and convicted under that statute. By various Acts passed in the reigns of William and Mary, and in that of Anne, the law was made more stringent in Ireland than it was in England, for it banished all Roman Catholic ecclesiastics found in the country. The operation of these Acts continued until 1752. when an Act was passed which mitigated the penalties, but contained the remarkable clause, excepting all who assumed ary eccleseistical title whatever, and that exception was never repealed. In 1793 another Act was passed for the relief of Homan Catholics, but left RACING FIXT Newmarket Carlisle ....

PETITIONS. The Duke of CAMBRIDGE presented a petition against the Charitable Trusts Bill from the Governor and guardians of the Foundling Hospital. The Earl of Fr EZ WILL - AAA presented a petition with a similar prayer from the Governors of Christ's Hospital. Lord WHARNCLIFFE presented a petition from Leeds against the extension of the county courts. Lord BROUGHAM said that each extension of the county courts cast upon the judges more work without any increase of their very scanty remuneration of 1,2001 Ho thought that the Consolidated Fund ought not to benefit by the increase of business in those courts, but that the officers of the courts should benefit by it. lie thought that as by the proposed Bill county court judges were required to reside in their districts compen sation should be made to them for the practice which they would be compelled to give up. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from certain solicitors of Southampton in favour of the County Courts Extension Bill. He (Lord Campbell) considered it was highly desirable that the county court judges should receive a higher rate of remuneration in case of addi tional business. PREVENTION OF OFFENCES. The NOBLE LORD then moved that the Commons' amendments to the Prevention of Offences Bill should be taken into consideration. He regretted that the Bill for the improvement of criminal proceedings had not been returned at the same time, as it was a measure of great importance, and had been assented to by Lords Brougham and Cranworth, the Lord Chancellor, and some of the most eminent men at the bar. That Bill had been referred to a Select Committee, but it was a great discouragement to law reformers to know that it might be rejected. Lord BROUGHAM concurred in the regret ex pressed by his Noble and Learned Friend, who had understated rather than overstated the pains and trouble taken with the Bill in question. He was quite morti fied that it should have been referred to a Select Com mittee after the care and attention that had been be stowed on it by the judges. He wished to know when the report of the Common Law Commission would be laid on the table? Lord CAMPBELL could communicate no satisfactory information on that point ; the Judges had been pre vented by the delay from making many salutary reforms. JOTEE PERSLIAUD. Lord BROUGHTON said he bad attended in his place in accordance with the notice of the Noble Earl (Ellenborough) on the preceding night. The Noble Earl had communicated to him the nature of his observ ations; and he (Lord Broughton) had not the slightest objec:ion to the returns which the Noble Earl had given notice to move for. They should bo prepared and laid on the table of the House, as soon as possible. Since, however, it was possible that a mail might immediately arrive and bring further information on the subject in question, he thought it was not asking too much to rr quest the Noble Earl to postpone his motion until the papers expected by the G.tvernment should arrive. The Earl of ELLENBOROUGH said, when the Noble Lord mentioned his wish to him a few hours pre viously, he thought it was p-obable that nothing could cerne to hand which would affect what he (the Earl of Ellenborough) had to state on the subject. He has, however, promised to give the request his attention. It was very possible that the Governor-General might have directed inquiry into the cases of tampering with witnesses and other cases in connexion with the charge against Jotoe Perahaud ; and if that was the case, he could not desire to press the subject at present. His only object was to get a full and fair inquiry; and he abouid, therefore, waive his motion, in accordance with the request of the Noble L ,rd. The Noble Lord made no objection to the production of the papers, and therefore he should go no further. He would, however, take that opportunity of placing himself right upon a point in which he had committed a slight inaccuracy. He had stated that the recognisances of Mr. Laing, the advocate and bail of Jute() Perehaud, had been estreated, and his press placed under an "embargo." He did not much like the expression when he used it; but he was compelled to use it because it was employed in the tho*n as as that when th was the Commis, were sia Continue passed, t the cour pressly y very itni prohibiti leges 1,1 the Act more etr Rotn,in equal in and yet terf,rie:g secept«el chained for makii The Not Rochdale land, he person it title such rescript ber for S 'Catholic more ext gretted found ti appointio 'words: — with ref' the Queci able and another mighty G direct an( an Act of was he in disobey tl rights of these circ sent exist on, and at of the Un directed s year, apps Lord dete do for hin himself.
