LONDON, WEDNESDAY, JUNE 5, 1850 . A melancholy proof was afforded on Monday evening of the i n diff e r en ce of the House of Commo ns to the centralizing machinations of the Government. After an energetic protest from several of the metro politan representatives against the Ministerial Bill for Extramural Interment as at present constituted, decided by a majority of 102, in a House of 216 , that the measure, already passed through its first and acona reading, instead of being laid before a Select Committee, according to the amendment proposed by the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Bodmin, should then at once be submitted to a Committee of the whole House, with a view to its speedy consolidation into an enactment. Against the suggestion of Mr. LACY it was specioudy argued that the compliance of the House with his proposition would necessitate a very considerable and injurious delay in the prosecution of a course of r( fcrm most earnestly required. If . you send th e Bi ll up-sta i rs to a Select Committee, Fail the opponents of the Ho nourable Representative, you will render it requisite to procra.,:tine,te the projected improvement, the prevention of further intramural burial, and. the , THE SUN, organization in its stead of a general system of extra mural interment, at least until the middle of the'next session. Such a delay it was intimated must prove most detrimental to the interests of the population, and most injurious to the health of the inhabitants of the metropolis. Now, any reasoning of this kind appears to us to be of a moat suspicious tendency. It strikes us as being equivalent to saying, " Make haste with the present. measure, harry through with it, no matter bow ob jectionable its clauses, or how dubious the nature of its provisions—better to blunder into a rapid altera tion of the existing arrangements than to tarry ano ther month, or it may be another year, in the work of sanitary amelioration." Advice of this description and to such advice the speeches of the Prime Minister and of the Home Secretary necessarily re solve themselves, appears to our thinking very discreditable both to the judgments and to the principles of our Legislators. Any delay, in abort, is preferable to a precipitation by which, according to the very judicious opinion of Lord DUDLEY STUART, the dogmas of political eco nomy might be set at naught, and the laws of con stitutional freedom be, in several important instances, abrogated. We appreciate to the full the wit of the remark made by Sir ROBERT PEEL—to the effect that the transmission of the Bill to a Select Commit tee, would be one of the most extraordinary cases of extramural interment ever heard of—a humorous phrase which naturally gave rise to a considerable amount of laughter—but we cannot in the smallest particular coincide with the Right Hon. Baronet in the opinion that the House itself was the most com petent authority to decide upon the questionable clauses of the proposed enactment. The extreme im patience evinced by the Members almost immediately after that assertion was made, by the ex-Premier suffi ciently indicated that, in the opinion of several of its Members, the arrival of the dinner hour was, in their mind, of far greater importance than , the scrutiny of a. Bill by which the popular privileges might be very injuriously affected. In fact, the readiness evinced late in the evening to hurry as fast as possible over the most intolerable of all the many intolerable clauses in the Ministerial measure sufficiently showed that the mass of the representa tives present were not the best qualified persons to de cide upon a proceeding requiring so much earnest attention and scrupulous deliberation. So hopeless appeared the labour of opposition, in consequence of this most culpable indifference, that even Mr. Dux. COMBE, a man not very easily disheartened, was com pelled at the very outset to throw aside his series of objections and amendments. Petitions were presented prior to the commence ment of the discussion on Monday night, and speeches in accordance with those petitions were delivered strongly in condemnation of the centralizing tendency of the Bill and of the shameful and shameless con cessions made in it to the clergy of the Establishment. The measure was opposed by Lord DUDLEY STUART and by Sir BENJAMIN HALL—those two Members thus giving expression to the sentiments entertained by their constituency of Marylebone. Mr. LUSRING• TON and Sir DE LACY Everss, in the name of their constituents of Westminster, opposed it ; Mr. B emcee OSBORNE, the Member for Middle sex, opposed it ; Mr. MASTERMAN, the Mem. ber for the city of London, opposed it ; Mr. Thomas DUZiCOMISE and Mr. TROMAS WAREBY, the Members for Finsbury, opposed it; Mr. D'EYNCOURT, the Member for Lambeth, opposed it—all of them energetically. Only Sir WILLIAM CLAY, the representative of the Tower Hamlets, and Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, the Member for Mid dlesex, were found, amongst all the metropolitan Members, to come forward with very qua lified commendations of the proposed enact ment. Disagreeing somewhat in the rather droll opinion expressed by Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, to the effect that the health of the people was a matter of greater importance than their morality, we coincide most thoroughly in all the other observations con tained in the speech delivered on Monday evening by that Liberal and Gallant Representative. One part of his observations, in short, appears to us to be de serving of a very attentive reconsideration, and of a very sedulous remembrance. It was where he said— " He gave credit to the Government for the principle of the measure, but he mus t object to most of the de tails ; and he would take the present opportunity of stating that there was one man who bad been treated most infamously in connexion with this matter—a man who had devoted fifteen years of his life, and much of his property, to the protection of the object aimed at in the Bill—he meant Mr. Walker.—(Hear, hear.) An other individual, Mr. Chadwick, got the whole credit, while Mr. Walker, tha original pioneer in this question. was coolly thrown overboard.--(Dear, hear.) lie would say, however, that if they were to have a commission at all, he did not see a man better fitted to servo upon it than Mr. Walker; but he (Mr. Osborne) was fortified in the view he took of the Bill, by the fact tbat that gen tlemen regarded it as in many respects a very objection able measure.—(Hear, hear, and cheers.") Nor would it seem that the disrelish of the pro jected enactment entertained by Mr. WALKER, is without the cordial sympathy of that very large and very influential portion of the com munity—the Dissenters. Turning for informa tion upon this head to the able monthly organ of the Dissenters, the Eclectic Review, we find in the cur rent number of that periodical a very careful analysis of the Government Interments Bill, in which the objectionable clause (already so often referred to and specified in our own columns), are severally par ticularized and commented upon in terms of stern and resolute indignation. So earnest indeed is this indignation on the part of the organ of the Dissenters, that the last article in the last number of the Eclectic Review is thus emphatically brought to a conclusion : " The only mitigation of our disgust lies in the fact that, while the Established Church meets us as a stolid obstacle in every path of moral, political, and spiritual progress, so every subject on which thinking men ponder, leads them, like CATO of old, to the monster evil. Delenda et Carthago. The State Church must be destroyed.' Such is the character of the opposition roused by this most injudicious scheme of the Administration; an injudicious scheme, as inju diciously approved by the Parliament. We have al ready explicitly revealed our own sentiments upon the measure. We shall now watch for its conse quences. It is by no means surprising that the landed pro prietors of Ireland should feel discontented and dis satisfied at the working of the several Acts for the relief of the destitute poor in that country. How ever essential these just and salutary enactments might be to the great body of the people, to the pre servation of the lives of the thousands and tens of thousands, we fear we might add millions, who must have perished miserably but for the assistance to which they thereby became entitled, they un questionably pressed with great severity upon the owners of real estate. For three centuries they had been exempted from the burden to which their English brethren had been liable under the 43d Elizabeth, c. 2. The aged and helpless pauper had no claims to subsistence out of the land on which he was born, and in the Cultivation of which he bad been exclusively engaged while in the . enjoyment of health and strength. wretched exigence, deriving ; might linger out his od' the pr6spe v e l t n a g: a charity weorfe precarious sub sistence f rom those wh o s e condition a bnuot certain little tai n own ; but he h a d shelter better to t resort is to in his utmost extremity. There were none from whom he could demand as a right, and the assistance which his ad vanced years strength so urgently demanded. e declining might starve in a Christian country without any man, men, being responsible for his melancholyfate. o r body of In 1836 this blot upon the national character was partially removed. An Ac t was passed for the relief s of helpless infancy and infirm age. But this enactment was of the most limited character ; it prohibited assistance under any circumstances of suffering or of sickness, however urgent, except within the walls of the union workhouse. Although willing to give his only capital—his labour —for the scantiest support, the able-bodied pauper could receive no relief. He was excluded from the benefit of the law, which, so far as he was concerned, was practically a dead letter. The rates collected under the Ist and 2d Victoria, c. ;.16, were, comparatively, not amounting to an average of sd. in the pound on the real property of the country, one moiety of which felt upon tine occupiers and the other on the landlords. Such a law might have proved sufficient under ordinary circums t a nces, although many philanthropists protested from the LONDON, very outset against the stringent restrictions which prevented the beneficial operation of the new law. But when an extraordinary exigency arrived, when, through the mysterious visitation of PROVIDENCE, there was a failure of the potato—the staple produc tion of the country, which has been well described as " at once the food and the currency of the people"— the deficiency of the existing law became but too painfully apparent. Under such circumstances the Imperial Parliament and the inhabitants of this more favoured island came nobly to the rescue. They did not desert their afflicted and suffering brethren in the dark hour of distress, but voted from the national Exchequer, and collected by private subscriptions, sums which nothing but the extent of the emer gency could justify. Thera was a total disregard of self, a lavish prodigality, which, under other cir cumstances, might be censured, but which will render the account of the proceedings during the " Irish crisis" the brightest page in the history of Great Britain. When the first pressing difficulty was thus over come, it became manifest that some large and com prehensive measure should be carried sufficient to pre vent the probability of the recurrence of similar events. The Poor-law Extension Act of 1847 was alike demanded by justice and expediency. It was happily described, we believe, by Mr. POULETT SCROFE as " a just and righteous attempt to secure a sufficient share of the land's produce for, at least, the bare subsistence of the poorer classes of the popula tion." It declared that the " poverty of the country should be a charge upon its property," that the poor of Ireland should thereafterbe supported permanently by the land. This salutary law had, as we have stated, been in operation for nearly three cen turies in this part of the United Kingdom, and it still bore heavily on some parts of it, but in Ireland it pressed with peculiar weight on those who had for the first time to sustain an enor mous burden, greatly aggravated by the peculiar state of affairs. It increased the difficulties with which the owners and occupiers of land had to con tend, preventing the former from providing for the heavy encumbrances fur which he was liable, and diminishing the means of the latter to satisfy his rent and ordinary rates and taxes. No adequate steps were taken to mitigate or diminish the burden, and the New Poor-law was regarded by many as the " last straw that broke the camel's back." The Act of last year (12 and 13 Vic., c. 104) ef fected some slight improvements, but its principal fea ture, that which limited the amount that could be levied on any property, was unfortunately rejected by the House of Lords, and in some localities—those which Era termed par excellence " the distressed unions"—the charge was still sufficient to absorb the entire produce of the soil. Under such circumstances, then, we cannot feel astonished at the motion last night brought forward by the Honourable Gen tleman the Member for Roscommon, calling upon the House to return to the principle of the Aet of 1838, and condemning some of the details of the system under which what has been felt as a serious grievance by the landlord class had occurred. . The motion was rejected—justly and properly rejected, but every allowance must be made for the irritation of those who endeavoured to reduce the amount of the burdens under which they are sinking. The Poor-law Act in Ireland is, however, an im perative necessity. There can be no retrograde movement. We are no admirers of " out-door relief," but the power of affording it should be granted whenever the exigencies of the case demand such a step, and also the power of appointing "vice-guardians" whenever the more constitutional bodies, the elected and ex-officio guardians, neglect or refuse to discharge their important duties. Let the friends of the Irish proprietors then exert themselves in procuring for these parties the means of enabling them to meet their responsibilities and fulfil the obligations imposed on them by la*. In that attempt they will be sustained by the voice of public opinion, and receive the sympathy and assist ance of all classes of the people. But let them not enter upon the hopeless task of seeking to repudiate a liability to which they are justly subjected by Divine and human law, or of striving to induce the Imperial Parliament to sanction a retrograde and re actionary policy. GRAND INSPECTION OF THE HOUSEHOLD TROOPS. —An inspection of the Coldstream, Scots Fusilier, and Gre nadier Guards took place this morning on the Grand Parade facing the Horse Guards. Shortly after ten o'clock the ground was taken, and the troops were minutely in spected by the Colonels of the different regiments. The inspection was ordered to afford the Nepaulese Princes an op portunity of witnessing the appearance of the British troops in review order. His Highness the Nepaulese General was delighted with the appearance of the Guards, and at the conclusion of the inspection desired his thanks to be con veyed to the officers tor their kindness, and his admiration at the precision with which the men went through their movements. REVIEW OF THE 2D LIFE GUARDS IN HYDE PA —( THIS DAY.)—This morning, at eleven o'clock, the 2d regiment of Life Guards, three hundred strong, marched from the Albany-street Barracks, to Hyde-park, for a field day. The Marquis of Londonderry, the Colonel of the regiment ; accompanied by his Royal; Highness Prince George of Cambridge, Major-General Brotherton, Inspector- General of Cavalry; attended by his Aide-de-Camp, Captain Ibbetson ; and many officers •f the Household Brigade mounted, arrived on the ground at half-past eleven, and the Prince was received by the band playing the National Anthem. The members of the Nepaselese Embassy, in full uniform, were present in an open carriage, and attracted ge neral attention. Colonel McDouall then put the regiment through the usual cavalry movements, which they executed with great precision. One man in the first squadron was thrown and slightly hurt. The review terminated at a quarter to one, when the regiment returned to barracks. The Marquis of Londonderry will give a grand dinner to the officers this evening. REPP.ESENT.ITION OF CORK.—RETIRIEMENT OF MR. FAGAN.—The Cork Examiner announces the intended re tirement of Mr. Fagan, the Member for Cork, from the re presentation of that city, as soon as the new Franchise Bill shall become law. The Cork Examiner adds—" We think that Mr. Fagan ought to be asked to •reconsider the sufli ciem-y of the reasons which have led to the resolution in question, and that such a demonstration of opinion should be made upon the subject that, if be adhere to his determina tion, and withdraw from Parliament, it will not be for want of an enthusiastic and honourable appreciation of his services and independence. Mr. Fagan has proved, perhaps, the best of all the Irish Members. GRAND SWIMMING MATCH.—Last evening a grand swimming match between two members of the Ilelborn Swimming Club came off, in the presence of a numerous and fashionable company, at the National Baths, High Holborn. The race was six times the length of the bath, and for 35/. aside. At starting, owing to the betting being nearly even, the. greatest excitement prevailed. Of the two candidates, however, Mr. David Young, who has been in training for some time past, under Mr. George Pewtress, the champion of England, was slightly preferred, and some of his backers dared to bet sto 4 that he would come in winner. Mr. Harold Kenworthy acted as umpire, assisted by Sir. Heclg man, the worthy proprietor of these excellent swimming baths. The start being effected both set off in gallant style, Mr. Davenport for the first two lengths slightly keeping the lead. At the third turn, however, Mr. Young, amid loud cheers, shot ahead, and came in an easy winner. Mr. George Pewtress and Sir. H. Kenworthy then entered the water and exhibited their extraordinary evolutions to a delighted as sembly. LETTERS AND NEWSPAPERS FOR CUBA. VIA THE UNITED STATES.—The following notice was issued yester day at the General Post-office :—" Information having been received from the Postmaster-General of the United States of the establishment of a regular communication by packet between Charlestown and Havannah, letters and newspapers for Cuba may be forwarded from this country to the United States and thence to Havannah, by the United States packets, if specially so addressed. The postage upon letters sent via the United States to Cuba will b e i s . 4d. w h en not . excee ding half an ounce weight, 2s.

The postage up on b ot h letters and newspapers must be paid in advanc e . All cor respondence for Cuba not specially addressed to be sent via the United States will continue to be dispatched by the West India packet of the 2d of each month." The Duke and Duchess of Montrose embarked at the St. Katharine's Wharf this morning, on board the Ge_ neral Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Triton, for Ostend. The Countess Borche and suite embarked at Lon (l9n -bridge Wharf this morning, on board the General Steam Navigation Company's steam-ship Seine, for Boulogne. AND SIX CHILDREN' ON 7s. A poor man, with the approp r i a t e name o f B ones, was summone d for allowing ce A MAN SUMMONED FOR NOT MAINTAINING A WIFE the guardians of th e W orm i ng f or d un i on to maintain three children of his wife by a former husband. In defence, the man said that him earnings were only 7s. a week, and he found it i mposs ib le to maintain eight people on that sum. He had bee n near l y starved in the attempt, and at last took three of the children to the union and left them there. The workhouse had been offered to himself and family, but he declined to go into it. The Rev. J. R. Smythies said that the parishioners of Wormingford ought to pay better wages than those of any other parish, because the land in it was so superior. The fact of the man having a dislike to go into the union was a proof to him (Mr. S.) that he was an honest and industrious man ; as to his supporting eight people on 7s. a week, it could not be done, and he would never sign the man's conviction except unon mandamus. The case was then dismissed.—E'ssex Herald. TUE WEA.TIII3R.—The mean daily reading of the barometer at the Royal Observatory. Greenwich, was above 30 in. on Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday, on which last day it was 30'179 in.; the mean of the week was 29 895. The mean temperature in the week was 58 deg. 2 mia., rather higher than in the same week on an average of seven years. On Thursday it was lower than the average, and on the two folleWing.days it was respectively 5 deg. and 2 deg. above it. WEDNESDAY EVENING, JUNE 5, 1850. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. M. LoualoN, the Democratic M em b er f or th e Department of e Cher, has resigned his seat, for the purpose of putting the new electoral law to the test. The Legitimatists have been, as we stated yester day, completely tricked by the Orleanists into giving their support to this law. They at length perceive that they have fallen into a trap, and are now as bitter in their denunciations of the Orleanists as they ever have been in their denunciations of the Socialists. The Univers and Opinion Politique declare that nothing but the restoration of legitimacy will bring back peace, and denounce the revolution of July, 1830, as a greater crime than that of February, 1848, while the Gazette de France offers a bidding for popular favour by declaring that HENRI V. will re store universal suffrage, which the Assembly has just destroyed. The Assembles Nationale openly preaches civil war. and boasts of the aid which, in such a case, the Roy alists would receive from Russia.: It is said that the Assembly will be prorogued in July. A supplement of the Moniteur Algerien of the 25th ult. gives details of the engagement in which General DE BARRAL received the wound which re sulted in his death. On the 21st ult. the General, after being delayed three days by torrents of rain, marched from Djemmila el Baylik, near Trouna, against the tribe of the Beni. Irma. As he expected, he found 3,000 Kabyles prepared for resistance ; they were placed on a line of rocks, between which and the General there were ravines, in which only one man at a time could penetrate. The General arranged his plan of attack, and himself marched at the head of the troops against the enemy. As he was proceeding he was struck in the breast by a bullet. He was able to remain on horseback until Colonel DE Lounsum came up and received the command from him. Colonel DE IdoueseeL then proceeded with the attack, and eventually the French, cavalry and infantry, were able to rush on the Kabyles; and, not • withstanding they were met by a discharge of mus ketry, they completely routed them, killed 200, pur • sued the enemy for six hours, and finally set tire to their villages. The French had only 13 men wounded, and 2 horses killed. The next day the Beni-Immels demanded the aman, and the Tifras and the Aid-Amems, who had been in insurrection for two years, also made their submission. The bullet was extracted from the wound of General DE BARRAL, and the General was conveyed to Bougie.

There was a firm market for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, and prices had an upward tendency. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were taken for export, and 500 on speculation. The transactions comprised 6,000 American (1,000 of which were Boa eis), chiefly at lA.; 1,000 Pernam and Ilaranham, at 70. to 71d.; 200 Bahia, at lid. to ;id.; 300 Egyptian, at 711 to Bd.; and 40 Sea Islands, at Is.

Speculation and real purchases for consumption have been rather actively conduct-A this week in the produce markets. Sugar and Coffee have risen, and Cotton is steady. The Continental markets for Public Securities have been very buoyant. At Paris the rise is continuous and rernarkahle. At Amsterdam the improvement has been also conspicuous. Oa th'e 2d inst. the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 56 5-16. The letters received yesterday afternoon from the United States dwell still upon the progress making in manufacturing pursuits at the south. One party writes:— " The growth of the manufacturing interests of the South is one of the most gratifying evidences of our in creasing prosperity. Few, even amongst our intelligent citiz • ns, are aware of the extent to which our people are en gaging in this branch of industry; and no one acquainted with the importance of manufacturing establishments in developing all the varied interests of the country, can fail to see in the movement a greater degree of prospe rity than has heretofore characterised the Southern States, while confining themselves chiefly to the pro duction of the raw material. But the most gratifying feet connected with this growing interest, especially to us Georgian, is the lead which our State is taking. It has been estimated that there are now in operation in Georgia 40 cotton mills, employing near 60,000 spindles, and consuming 45,000 bales of cotton annually. In this estimate, which seems to be below the true mark, no calculation is made of our paper-mills, bucket factories, iron establishments, louring mills, &c. In Tenessee it has been reported to the secretary of the Treasury, that there are 30 factories, employing 36,000 spindles. In South Carolina, the Hon. William Gregg says there are 16 factories, containing 36,500 spindles, and about 700 looms, consuming 15,000 bales of cotton per annum. He estimates the capital invested in those establishments at about one million of dollars, and the number of operatives they give employment to at 1,600. There are in Alabama 12 factories, with a ca pit a of 500,000 dollars, containing 12,580 spindles and 300 looms, and consuming about 5,500 bales of cotton annually. It is said that machinery for others is contracted for sufficient to make the num ber of spindles 20,000, and the looms 550. Thus we have in four States ninety-eight manufactories of various descriptions of cotton goods, containing 140,000 spindles. There are doubtless many other colt ni mills in the other Southern States which would swell the number somewhat. In addition to these, there are others going up, not only in this state, bat every where else at the south. We hazard but litt'e in sayieg that at the end of the five years there will be perhaps two hundred cotton factories in operation in the Southern Stites, consuming'nearly two hundred and fifty thous:m(l bales of cotton per annum, and giving employment to twenty-five or thirty thousand operatives. The effect of such a diversion of labour upon the produc tions ef the south, the price of cotton, and the habits of those who will likely be employed as operatives must be immense. All the cost of the transportation of the raw material to Eng land, of its manufacture here, its transportatioe back to this country, will be saved to our people. The general. price of cotton will be increased by the competition which will ensue between the manufacturing establish ments of Europe and the Northern and Southern States; and great good to society must result from the employ ment of thousands of persons who are now consumers, and not producers." The circumstance of a further rise in the Funds at Paris, and the absence of any unfavourable news has in duced further purchases cf Consols, both en speculation and for investment. The feeling undoubtedly is good. The large arrivals of bullion, present and prospective, and more than counter-balancing the exports hence to Russia, with the proximate payment of the dividends, are all in our favour; but we have seen such frequent and sudden re-actions, that we' prefer eaution to overweening confidence, and there is no knowing, for example, what may occur in Schleswig or Cuba to give the Bears a handle.

(Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL and Justiees PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and EBLE.) THE QUEEN V. THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF CHESTER. Lord CAMPBELL this morning delivered the judgment of the Court in this case. His L , rdship said, on account of the general importance of the question the Court took time to consider their decision in this case, and they now continued to be of the same opinion which they formed during the argument, that the return to the mandamus was sufficient. The mandamus alleged that Joseph Humphreys was in due manner nominated, by the Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Chester, a chorister, lay clerk, and singing man of the said cathedral church, and until his removal had per formed the duties f the office ; and that it was a free• held office, conferring a right to vote for Members of Parliament for the county of Chester; yet that the Dean and Chapter had unjustly removed the said Joseph llnmphreys from the said office. The return set forth the foundation of the cathedral church of Chester by letters patent and statutes passed in the 23d year of the reign of Henry VIII. By those statutes power was given of admonishing and punishing at discretion, and of expelling the officers of the cathedra!, including the choristers. Then came the appointment of a visitor, who was to be the Bishop of Chester for the time being, and who was to see that the statutes were inviolably ob served. The return further alleged that the choristers were nominated and governed under the said statutes, and that at the time in question Dr. Sumner was the Bishop of Chester, and visitor of the Dean and Chapter, under the powers and provisions of the said letters pa tent and the said statutes. And it was said that the said Joseph Humphreys had not appealed against his removal to the visitor, as he might and could have done. Mr. Welsby, who supported this demurrer, did not deny the proposition that where there was an eleemosynary foun dation the visitor had exclusive jurisdiction over the matters with respect to which he was appointed visitor, but contended that this Court were compelled by mandamus to bring the removal of Humphreys within the cognizance of a court of common law. The first objection was that the mandamus showed a motion to the visitor, and that where there was a mo tion the visitor had no jurisdiction; but Appleford's case was an express authority that after motion the visitor's jurisdiction continued, and that when be had jurisdiction this Court would not interfere. The next objection was placed on the alleged limited powers of the visitor in this case, and on the want of an allegation in the return of the offence imputed, to show that the visitor had jurisdiction over him. But the Court were of opinion that by the letters patent set out the powers of the Bishop of Chester, were not confined to cases in which he had a jurisdiction ordinarily, but that he was constituted a special visitor to see that the statutes were enforced. The Court could see no reason why the return should specify the offence on which the motion took place, if the legality of the motion was to be determined by the visitor. The Court was then told that the mandamus ought to go, because this was a spiritual and not an eleemosynary foundation; but no authority was cited to show that this distinction was material where there was a special visi tor appointed by the Crown. Although there was a dif ference with respect to the acts of a visitor merely in the capacity of an ordinary, the office here was a lay office belonging to a spiritual foundation, and in principle there was nothing to show that it was to be viewed differently from the fellowship of a college with special powers of visitation. With respect to the allegation that this was a freehold office, when Mr. Humphreys accepted the office he knew the conditions on which it was offered to him, one of which was, that in case of dis putes arising, such disputes were to be determined by the visitor, and not by a court of common law. Lastly, it was contended that although ' Mr. Hum phreys might have appealed to the visitor ; he was not bound to do so, and might apply for relief to this Court. But this not;on of a con current jurisdiction was expressly contradicted by the language of Lord Hale in Appleford's case. For those reasons the Court were of opinion that there ought to be judgment for the defendants, and it was very satisfactory for the Court to think that their judgment might be questioned in another place. THE QUEEN V. THE TITHE COM3IISSIONERS OF ENGLAND AND WALES. The Court pronounced judgment for the defendants. EXCHEQUER.--(THIS DIY.) (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON, and Barons ALDERSON, ROLFE, and ?LATT.) EIRKENSHAW V. THE DIRDIINGHAII AND OXFORD RAILWAY. The LORD CHIEF BARON delivered the judgment of the Court in this case. It was an action bronght to re cover the sum of 4,5001. for three houses, and other pro perty belonging to the plaintiff, which were required for the purposes of the railway. Upon notice being received from the defendants that the property would be required, the plaintiff demanded payment of 4,5001., and if that were not given that a jury should be summoned to assess the damages. The question which the Court had to decide was, whatwas the meaning of the words in the Act of Parliament, lands taken for the execution of the works." The Court had carefully examined the Act of Parliament, and had referred to several decisions of Lord Cottenham on the point, and they were of opi nion that the verdict should be entered for the de fendants.—Judgment for the defendants. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, and Justices MAULE, CROMWELL, and TALFOURD.) The Court was occupied this morning with demurrers, which presented no features of general interest. BAIL COURT.—(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice Wightman sat in banco this morning, but nothing came before the Court to justify a report. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.) FISHER AND ANOTHER V. HICItMAN AND ANOTHER. The plaintiff's in this action arc timber-merchants, at Plaistow, Essex; and defendants aro undertakers in Cannon-street road. The action was brought to recover the sum of 121. Os. 2d. Several witnesses were called to prove the order and delivery of the goods, and an attorney appeared for defendants, who made no defence, but intimated that he should move the Court to enter a suggestion to deprive plaintiffs of costs. Plaintiffs' solicitor said, that although there was no defer.ce, it was accessary for him to call witnesses to prove the case. The jury gave a verdict f,,r the amount. This was the only case in the paper. Mr. A. B 2 four had nu interview with Earl Grey yes terday, at the Colenial-office. GERMANY. Letters from Berlin of the id inst. state that the Prince of Paussta has succeeded in satisfying the Emperor of Russu of the propriety of the course pursued by Prussia with regard to the German ques tion, and that the EMPEROR has had several animated conversations with Prince SCUWAUTZENBURG, in the course of which he expressed his d►sapproval of the course pursued by Austria. It was expected that the Emperor NICHOLAS would visit Vienna. Aus tria does not, however, seem inclined to give way. The Oesterreichische Correspondenz declares that the reconstruction of the old confederation is impera tively necessary in order to afford the means of co operation by the Governments of Germany with the rest of the European powers against the danger threat ening society from the socialistic and communistic propaganda of France. At the same time, however, no concessions whatever are to be made to Prussia and her plan of a narrower union. HUNGARY. DEPARTURE OF THE CHILDREN OF KOS sum FOR PESTLI.

SCHLES WIG-HOLSTEIN. • FLENSBURGII, MAY 30.--Although we have no doubt of the intelligence given by many papers of the destruction of the fortifications erected last year at Sandacker is correct, it is nevertheless remarkable that we are without any positive minute intelligence respecting the new act of violence on the part of the Danes. We learn from the Sundewith that the forti fications were destroyed on the 26th, and vessels which have passed Sandacker state that the fortifica tions on the north side are undisturbed, while those on the south have beers demolished. Half of the Norwegian foot artillery, and the Swedish mounted artillery, manoeuvred yesterday in a body at the western part of the city.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. I be SIR,—I have read in the Galignani newspaper,°' r 10th inst., an extract, taken from your parer, of t h ey, respondence which has taken place between the Ref; h is Alaska!, vicar of St. Mary's Church, Exeter, a nd 4 . :!'; diocesan; and also between the former and the A r ' ve bishop of Canterbury, of which the following is the co >f: eluding paragraph. with He (Ur. Itlaskeli) closes the correspondence va apostrophe on so lamentable a state of things: ; s ett " Lord,—Can there be any relic ions system ne l ;el on earth so destructive of spiritual life, and so °Pine to the reality of spiritual practice, as one which, l oc . the guise of purity and moderation, throws open al l a p's trines, except one, to the determinatio n of each Ito° private judgment, and suffers us to believe (es we ",,, either this or that; or, if we dare to d o se, nothieli n ii all? Nor do I see how such a system once °Pe avowed can fail to lead thousands into infidelity.'' of I confess tb at I am so much astonished at the tone to this address that, at the distance even at which from the scene of the controversy, yet seeing the "f o r versality of the importance of the subject, I ca nnot 0 ,01 bear offering some observations which I think r )a .,,at deem of sufficent importance to give them a place 10 " journal. th6S It seems to me, and I say it with all diffidence/ r as Mr. Ma,keli has, unintentionally, in the three o° . oo l " devised on earth," taken in connexion with his Pre il i od language, disclosed his secret thoughts and opinions, 01 that he has fully enunciated to the world, that he w c f iii have a religion " devised on earth" by, and arhit r %bs and dogmatically enforced through its minister s 'oe only persons who have a direct worldly interest t 0 ,111 3 , 01• that religioc subserve to their own individual an h of lective personal advancement, as well in a Peeu c t ioot point of view as in regard to their rank, state, ar s e of end influence in society ; whilst it is of the esse nee pa Christianity, that it is of Divine origin, revealed In be through the scriptures , of which its mi n i s ters she w t bst the humble eApounders. Is it to be tolerated, the n ' 0 one of the ministers of this meek religion of "pe ac e „f itos earth and good-will towards men," whilst he iosi c ;, - publicly and plainly, that, in referring everythingL•p' decided by the Divine Word, that is, by the Holy tures, the Church of which he is a member and A Th o s ili ce nister, is actil, g only " under the guise of purity nn,", i - pot deration"—is, it, I ask, to be tolerated that he e a h o o r tu r " ers .fi; only not be dismissed from his min!stry, mantled, but courted to remain within its bosore minister still? a ttar The Archbishop of Canterbury h as t re ated the ° l , f a in a truly Christian spirit, alm os t t o a f au lt, consiu e :d to his elevated position, and the resp ons ibility attt ich 7 - gr' it, when he contents himself with saying th,e, Maskell exceeds the bounds of—" I d o no t say on do I do not say charitable, I do not say dutiful, but, b oe say—tolerable discussion."
