WIND IV. S. W.—cloudy, with occasional sunshine. Mr. E. ELLICE, in moving for leave to bring in a Bill for appointing Commissioners to inquire into the existence of bribery in the borough of St. Alban's, gave the House a short history of the revelations which had been made before the Election Committee of the condition of that borough and its constituency. Mr. COBDEN moved, as an amendment to the motion, to add the words "and of bribery, treating, and corruption in the Falkirk district of burghs," in support of which he read accounts of alleged disorders and malpractices at the laiit and preceding elections, which had commenced at Airdrie in 1841, and had extended their demoralising influence to the other burghs. Mr. BAIRD denied that he had been concerned in the transactions alluded to by the Hon. Member for the West Riding, The ATTORNEY-GENERAL recommended that the two cases should not be mixed up together. Mr. Roitnucx supported Mr. COBDEN'S amendment, and warned Mr. BAIRD that out of regard to his own character he should seek an opportunity of exculpating himself. Mr. ELLICE objected to the Falkirk case being engrafted on that of St. Alban's. Mr. BANKER considered the amendment as wholly inad missible. Mr Hu) recommended Mr. COED= to withdraw the amendment. Lord J. Russzu, could not say that there ought not to be some inquiry into the transactions stated by Mr. COBDEN but he could not agree that the two cases should be tried by the same Committee. After some remarks by Mr. FRESHFIELD, Mr. LOCKHART, and Mr. H. BERKELEY, :sir. COBDEN withdrew his amendment. The remaining business having been disposed of, the House adjourned at 25 minutes to Two o'clock. There are some persons who cannot be taught, who will derive no salutary lesson from experience, who thick that what they miscall " firmness," but which, by the great majority of persons competent to form an opinion on the subject, is regarded as " dogged and mulish obstinacy," is the chief quali fication of a public man. Sir CHARLES WOOD is apparently influenced by this idea, and so far as he is concerned we are neither surprised nor grieved at the result. We have long given up the case of the Right Hon. Gentleman as utterly hopele=s, and feel that no reasonable expectation of fiscal improvements can be entertained so long as he remains at the head of the financial department of the Government. But we confess that we cannot behold without regret the fatuity of some of his colleagues, from whom we might have looked for better things, in suffering themselves to be dragged through the mire by their evil genius. If Lord JOHN RUSSELL chose to cast his shield over the discomfited financier, he must naturally expect that he himself will receive some of the many shafts aimed at his protege, one of which may at last have a fatal effect. Thus, on the question of the renewal of the income-tax, he not only spoke but voted in favour of the " conclusion" at which his incompetent coadjutor had arrived. Although he witnessed the storm of indignation which the " PRECIOUS BUDGET" excited in the country, and knew, or ought to have known, that it was occasioned by the renewal of the income-tax without change or modification, and the re-enactment of Schedule D with all its atrocious inequalities, he made no effort at conciliation, he offered nothing that could be put forward as a compro mise or an instalment of justice. The natural result was the defeat which he sustained on Friday evening, when the amendment of the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Montrose was carried by a majority of 14—a majority which would have been quadrupled but for the shameless defection of some of the Liberal Members (I). Last night the Ministers were again left in a mi nority, and through a similar perversity. The case of the Irish and Scotch distillers has frequently been brought under the notice of the Legislature and of the community in general. It has been shown that they are greatly injured by the mode in which the duty is assessed, it being levied on the quantity originally measured in the spirit receivers, or as it is technically term " the worms-end." If the spirit be retained fur some time in bond there must necessarily be a considerable diminution in quantity, arising from leakage, soakage, evaporation, and other causes un necessary to mention ; the strength is also reduced, so that a double loss is sustained by the distillers. The improvement of quality would, however, compensate for these losses, if the duty were only charged on the quantity actually brought into consumption, and the result would be, that a much more wholesome, or, perhaps, we should say, a less deleterious article would come into general use. The distillers, however, naturally object to pay duty on that which has been totally wasted, that they should not only lose the cost of production, but also a heavy charge per gallon on that which can never be made available, and this objection is enhanced by the fact that their foreign competitors are subjected to no such disadvantage. No matter how long rum or brandy, or any other foreign spirit may be kept in the QUEEN'S stores, the importer will only have to pay duty on the quantity contained in the vessels when removed from bond, and will re ceive payment fur every drop on which he is charged to the revenue. Now the Scotch and Irish distillers require no protection or other advan tage, but merely to be placed on a similar footing with their rivals. All they seek is fair play—a clear stage and no favour. The 4d. differential or countervailing duty is not more than sufficient compensation for the restrictions imposed on the home producers by other Excise regulations; and we venture to assert that, if as free to carry on their operations as the West Indian manufacturer, they would gladly relinquish that difference. There is, however, a twofold reason why Sir CHARLES Wool) resists this reasonable demand. First, it is a matter of justice and equity that the re quired concession should be made, and that is an argument to which he will never yield so long as he regulates the national finances. Secondly, the House of Commons on two several occasions affirmed the propriety and expediency of removing the "pro tection " to the foreigner, and the Bill that had been introduced was only rejected by a slender majority of ",One" on the question that the SPEAKER do leave the r. The m or tifi ca ti on occas i oned by the actual a vir tual def ea t s sun k d eep i nto the heart of the Right 11 °n• Baronet, oof and increased his former determination that the deci;i No alternative then remained but the llouse should be again taken, and than 318 Members although there were no less esent, the n um b ers were equal, there being 159 votes b n ye a t c h h e sine. casting T The i r c e e s 0 0 l f u . t the i o was therefore c arr i ed SPEArEIt. w e regret to observe that L ( SELL attempted to neutralise thotrd JoHN Rho had tu ed s trjing to ge t another, when many of thdoti e w e i n ei ihe b inl y et supported the resolution had 14t the Rouse d the whipper - in had succeeded in keeping hv pack together, to vete according to the will and plea sure of the dispenser of patronage. The demand of the Scotch and Irish distii:ers, however, is based on ju E . flee, and must ultimately prevail, and the sooner it is granted with a good grace the better it will be for the Government. out England and Wales for the present parochial assessment. He e'id not propose to go into the question of assessing per sonal property. Captain HARRIS, in seconding the motion, explained Lord DLALMESBURY'S plan for the equalization of the poor -rate. Mr. BADats opposed the plan as one calculated to do away with local self-government, and to confound ill-regulated with well - administered parishes. The motion was then withdrawn. Lord NAAS moved that the House do forthwith resolve ' itself into a Committee to consider the present mode of levy ' ing the duty on home-made spirits in bond. Mr. J. WILSON opposed the motion, arguing that the ques tior. had been settled in 1848 by a Parliamentary Committee, which decided that peculiar considerations, not applicable to colonial and foreign spirits, affected the home made. The motion was supported by Mr. REYNOLDS, Mr. GRO GAN, Mr. HUME, Colonel DUNNE, Mr. NAPIER, and Mr. ALEXANDER HASTIE ; and opposed by Mr. CARTER, Mr. M. GIBsoN, Sir G. CLERK, and the CHANCELLOR of the RICHE.. qUER. Lordut duty on .

REUNION DES ARTS.—On Monday evening this society opened its first soirée at the private rooms, 27, Queen Anne-street, with a variety of excell ent vocal andinstru mental music, to which Miss Day, Mademoiselle Rum mel, Mademoiselle Lavinia, Mr. De Munck, Mr. Goffrie, Herr Schmidt, and Mr. Frederick Chatterton admirably con tributed, amidst the great applause of a very select audience. The lower apartments were appropriated to the fine arts, where amongst the paintings we remarked some of the best of . Landseer, Taylor, Zweeker, Haag, Kempf, Bartholomew, &c. During the interval of the mu sical performance, Mr. F. Chatterton delivered ashort and appropriate address, and announced that the soirees would be continued every Monday throughout the season. The party broke up about 11 o'clock, with great satisfaction to the committee and its members BANQUET TO THE FOREIGN COAanseroNEus.—At a meeting of the Coancil of Chairmen of the Metropolitan Commission, presided over by t h e i r N o bl e P resi dent, it was unanimously resolved to invite the Foreign Commissioners to an entertainment.

ERR clever a ea ctc r e e ss, in ATIAI -In the notice of the performances at When Mr. CAVENDISH CLIFFORD most unexpectedly r Protectionist cam the Strand Th yresterday's impression, the name of that td. C. Horsman, was erroneously to .0 thatthe representation toefthtehederiemination not of Wight. printed " Housman." This most unexpected announcement took the Free traders of the island completely by surprise, and the Protectionists, believing there was no time to seek for another Free-trade candidate, and that, consequently, their man would enjoy a quiet walk over, raised high the song of triumph—soon, however, to be changed into a song of lamentation, for the very day after Mr. CAvENDIsa CLIFFORD had announced his resig nation, an address was published from Mr. DAWES, soliciting the suffrages of the Isle of Wight constituency as a Protestant, a Liberal, a Free trader, and a Reformer, and containing this ominous sentence—" It is my firm intention to go to the poll." We rejoice that such is the intention of Mr. DAWE3, and we doubt not for one moment of his success. lie is the man of all others best suited to represent effectively any constituency in the House of Commons. His address, which appears i❑ another column, contains such a profession of political faith as entitles him to the energetic support of every one who really bolds truly Liberal principles. He is a large landholder, but is an advocate of free-trade policy, because he is convinced that its adoption has increased the comforts of the working classes, has dis armed the disaffected, and probably saved the country from confusion and ruin. As a remedy for agricultural distress, he recommends the re-adjustment of rents, a recommendation which the landlords are in justice bound to adopt, seeing that the total rental of the kingdom in 1850 exceeded, as shown by the pro perty-tax returns, the total rental of the kingdom in 1815 by 3,000,0001., while it is obvious that not one single acre of land has been added in the meanwhile to the superficies of the island ; with a reduction of rents to the amount of 3,000,0001. annually we should not hear much of agricultural distress. Mr. DAWES is a determined upholder of the civil and religious rights of the community against sacerdotal usurpation, whether the usurper be Papist or Puseyite, and he pledges himself to support a measure for placing conventual establishments under salutary regulations, and for regulating bequests devised for charitable and religious purposes ; in other words, he will do his best to prevent heiresses being imprisoned for the purposes of plun der, or parents bullied on their death-beds into dis inheriting their children, while at the same time he, in common with every other real Protestant, would allow to " the Church of Rome the same amount of religious liberty, and the same means for its propaga tion as are enjoyed by other religious denominations." To yield to them more than this would be unjust to all other religionists and a flagrant violation of the principle of religious equality, without which religious liberty cannot exist. On the question of the suffrage, the opinions of Mr. DAWES are such as to fully entitle him to the support of the Li beral electors of the Isle of Wight, while from his declaration that his canvass shall be carried on in a spirit of fairness and candour, we take it for granted that should be be returned Mr. DAWES will be found supporting the motion of which Mr. HENRY BERKE LEY has given notice for the ballot. A more desirable candidate than Mr. DAWES could not have solicited the suffrages of the Isle of Wight constituency, and we have no doubt but that the electors of the Royal Island will at the same time confer honour on them- selves and on Mr. DAWES by returning him as their THE S ,KE TS THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Moniteur says—" The Minister of the Interior hai received dispatches announcing that the anniversary of the 4th of May was celebrated in the departments in the midst of complete calm. The rumour of an insur rection having broken out at Lyons on Sunday, which was spread at the Bourse jesterday as a culpable ma r osavre, has not the least foundation. A telegraphic dispatch, sent from Lyons yesterday morning, states that that town then enjoyed perfect tranquillity." M. DE LAMARTINE has published in the Pays an arti cle which occupies one side of the paper, urging the im mediate repeal of the Electoral Law of May, 1850. The National, in a notice of the check recently re ceived by the English Ministry, expresses its surprise and regret that the Liberals of the House of Commons should have compromised their honour and their inte rests by playing the game of the Tories. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN publishes an article in the Presse in which he accuses General CHANGARNIER of having, in March, 1848, offered M. LEDRU ROLLIN to invade England with 12,000 men, and proclaim a re public. The Paris correspondent of the lndipendance of Brussels, writing on Sunday, says:—" The affair of the conversation between General CHANGARNIER and M. DE PRESIONY is not terminated. lam assured that M. DE PRESIGNY is disposed to cause to be printed let ters written by a third party, who represented himself as an intermediary invested with the confidence of the General, and being able to speak in his name. The let ters, lam told, are twelve in number. If the fact be real, it will only prove one thing, namely, that M. DR PRESIGNY, who long had friendly relations with the General, very ill appreciated his character, which is so cold, re.erved, and prudent, that a prince of the Orleans family justly said of him, 'lf the General thought that his hat had divined what ho thinks he would burn it.' " , Monday being the anniversary of the death of the Emperor NAPOLEON, a religious service was performed in the church of the Hotel des Invalides. The PRESI ! DENT of the Republic, the VICE PRESIDENT, the Ex- KING of Westphslia, and several other members of the BONAPARTE family, were present. The congregation was very numerous. Several of the generals and other officers of the empire attended, as did also Marshal NAR VAEZ. The railings of the column of the Place Ven dome were on this, as on former occasions, covered with funeral wreaths, brought thither chiefly by old officers and soldiers of the empire. Two reports were presented to the Assembly. The first recommended the rejection of a proposition of M. Min' for a General Exhibition in Paris. The seem d opposed a proposition of M. HoWIN-D E -T RANCIIERE for the formation of a Committee to fellow the opera tions of the Agronomical Institute of Versailles. At the sitting of the Assembly yesterday, M. PIERIE PRADIE laid on the table the following proposition:— "The President of the Republic and the Ministers shall be impeached if they do not dissolve, according to the law, the committees and rd-unions which ostensibly have for their object to promote the election to the Presidency of the Re public of a candidate who cannot be eonsti utionally elevated to that dignity. They shall also be guilty of high treason if they do not enforce against the distributor of lists, of pro fessions of faith, or writings of every description having the same object, the laws intended for the repression of such acts." The speculators at the Bourse appear to have re covered from the' panic of Monday, and public securi ties improved in price. The Five per Cents. opened at 90f. 50c., and closed at 90f. 60e.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at from 3,000 to 3,500 bales, of which 500 were taken for ex port, and 500 on speculation. The market was quiet at isre !m one day d • vious rates.—Railway Shares were again depressed. In a report by Messrs. William Short and Co.. upon the Iron trade, it is stated " Rails have been in limited demand during last month, and the price is considerably easier. For Welsh bars there has been very limited inquiry; first-class makes have been offered at 41. 12s. 6d., per ton in "Wales, and second-class at 41. 10s. Welsh Pig Iron and Refined Metal are very diffi cult of sale. In Scotch Pig Iron there has also been a limited business, but owing to the favourable effect of large shipments from Glasgow and neighbourhood, the price has not declined below 40s. 6d. per ton for mixed num bers, ordinary brands, cash against immediate shipment. % Swedish Iron is firm, with a small amount of business. The accounts from France, Germany, and other places ad vise a moderate business in staples and manufactures, but certainly not so much activity as could be desired. The Baltic ports suffer from the low price of grain and the com• petition of the French growers. The authorities at Washington have directed that the duties on produce from Canada sent in bond to New York for exportation, shall in future be collected at the frontier port on their entering the States, to be refunded afterwards less 2% per cent. on production of a certificate that the pro duce has actually been exported. The rule to be thus en forced is the same with that which now exists with respect to the importation of goods in bond from Europe, through the United States for Canada. Lord W harncliffe as President o f th e C ommittee for Pro moting Tribunal s Of Commerce, and Mr. Montague Gore, Mr. Richard Thornton, Mr. Arthur Anderson, M.P. for Orkney, and others as members, have requested the mer chants generally of the City to meet them to-morrow at the London Tavern, and hear explanations as to the objects in view. There was a slight decline yesterday afternoon in the rates for Bills of Exchange on Paris, Antwerp, Amsterdam, and Trieste, but on Paris the quotations were firm. There is an impression that the demand for silver has been to a great extent satisfied, but we hear that at the lower rates there is still a good inquiry. Gold at Paris bears a higher , relative value to sil ver than i t did. 4.1 The amount of bills drawn by the East India Company during the last fortnight has been very small, viz., 8,796/. 15s. 6d. OR the three Presidencies, the terms being 2s. I d. on Bengal and Madras and 2s. I%el. on Bombay. This is rather in favour of the assumption that the balance of trade between England and India is becoming more in our favour, or that, at least, the demand for specie in the East is less urgent. The English Stock Market has been very steady, and the renewed defeat of the Ministry appears to have had no im pression on the marker. The business doing i neverthe less, much more limited than yesterday. Consols have been quoted 963 to 97 for Money and Account. The New Three-and-a -Quarter per Cents. have realized 97 1 ,! 3 / 4 , and the Three per Cents. 96 to 1 ,,f. Bank Stock has been dull at 210, and India Stock at 260. Exchequer-bills are 495. to 525. premium The Foreign Stock Market has been exceedingly quiet and prices are in several in , tances almost nominal. Spanish Five per Cents. have been quoted 19%, and the Passive ;2% Bonds 5%. Brazilian Stock has been at 88 1 4, to 89, and Buenos Ayres at 56. Mexican Bonds are 35%, and Peru vian 84. Russian Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have been 99 1 n Shares there continues to be only a very limited busi ness doing, and prices are much as before. Buyers now have an advantage, and it is fully expected that the traffic returns ere long will so much increase as to give a great impetus to the dealings.

BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice COLERIDGE.) IN RE AN ATI/ORNEY. Mr. PRENTICE applied for a rule, calling upon an attorney of the court to show cause why his namoshouldnot be struck off the rolls. The Learned Gentleman made the motion under the following circumstances. In 1848, three y‘aing men, named Salmon, became entitled to a freehold estate at Little Bonfield, under the will of th-ir uncle, and by the ad vice of the attorney in question, who, it was alleged acted in collusion with one of the trustees, the property was put up for sale, and sold to himself and the trustee for 2,0001. less than its real value. Eventually, however, the young men were induced to file a bill in Chancery to set aside the sale on the ground of fraud, and in his answer to that bill the attorney not only committed perjury, but embodied documents or Ire. ceipts for money which subsequently turned out to be for geries. He was therefore indicted for perjury and, f oun d guilty, but a new trial had since been granted ur:ion some technical objection that had been taken to the lorm of the indi ctment.—Application granted. EXCHEQUER.—(THD:s DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) TILE ATTORNEY -GENER AL V. BRADBURY AND EI'ANS. This was an information filed by the Attorney-General against Messrs. Bradbury • and Evans, the printers, for know ingly and wilfully printing a certain newspaper, entitled A Household Aarrative of Current Events, without being stamped according to the provisions of the 6 and 7 William IV., chap. 76. The parties had agreed to a special case, whereby if the Court should be of opinion that the publica tion ought to be stamped, judgment was to be given for the Crown, and if they were of a contrary opinion, a nolle pro sequi was to be entered. The Attorney-General and Mr. Crompton conducted the case for the Crown, and Mr. Peacock and another Learned Gentleman appeared for the defendants. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said this was a case of consider able importance with reference to the revenue derived by the Crown front the stamps on newspapers, but the question would be found to be contained in a very small com pass. It depended entirely on the construction to be placed on the 6th and 7th of William IV., c. 76, which imposed certain duties on publications or newspapers, set forth in the schedule attached to the Act. The schedule stated that any paper containing any public news, intelli gence, or occurrences, or any remarks or observations there on, printed in any part of the United Kingdom for sale, and published periodically, or in parts or numbers, at internals not exceeding twenty-six days, should be deemed and taken to be a newspaper within the meaning of the Act, and be chargeable with duty. There could be no doubt that it was a publication containing public news, intelligence, and oc currences, to be dispersed and made public ; but the question arose whether the interval between the publication of one number and another brought it within the operation of the Act? The CHIEF Beaox—What would you call the Annual Register? whatb e — The is news? Cnizr BARox—News becomes old after a certain length of time. The ArronwEar- GENERAL—That, of course, would resolve itself into a matter of fact. The CHIEF BARON —It is quite clear that Macaulay's "History of England" is not subject to stamp duty. The ATTORNEY -GENERAL —No coubt a line of distinction must be drawn somewhere. This publication was a most re spectable and excellent production, and the parties connected with it deserved the utmost consideration both as individuals and as valuable members of the literary world. But the more successful it was the greater probability there would be of other persons publishing works of the same description, and consequently a serious inroad would be made in the re venue unless they were subject to stamp duty, and it was necessary to protect the Crown from any such loss. The Learned Counsel referred to the various Acts which had been passed relative to the stamping of newspapers, and contended that as the Household Narrative of Current Events contained news or occurrences up to within a day or two of its publica tion, it was liable to be charged with stamp-duty, and treated in every respect as a newspaper. Mr. PEACOCK was heard on the other side, and argued that if the construction suggested by his Learned Friend were placed on the Act, the Annual Register and other works containing news or information up to the time of pub lication would come under the provisions of the Stamp Act. The COURT took time to consider their judgment. SECONDARIES'. -;THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondary PorrEl.) cox v. COOK. This was an action to recover the sum of 761. on an an nuity bond granted by the defendant. The defendant suffered judgment to go by default. The plaintiff's solicitor said the condition of the bond was that defendant should pay two separate annuities of 20s. per week each, payable weekly, or within one week after de mand, the penalty under the bond being 2,900/. Evidence was adduced proving that 38 payments were due; that a demand had been made at defendant's resi dence, but he was in France. The Learned SZCONDABY said that the defendant had, by suffering judgment to go by default, admitted the whole facts. 'I he jury gave a verdict for 76/., the bond not carrying interest. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY.) Richard Lockyer was charged with stealing a copper, of the value of 1/., the property of Mr. Bunhani John Gavin, a painter, in the employ of the prosecutor, stated that his master was repairing some houses at Con naught-terrace, Chelsea, on the 19th of last month. Wit ness left the one he was employed at securely fastened. On his return he found the back door open, and missed the cop per in question. Margaret Turner, a marine-store dealer, said that she bought the copper by weight of the prisoner on the night in question. The prisoner, who had nothing to say in his defence, was found guilty, and sentenced to six calendar months, with hard labour, in the House of Correction. ; ARRIVAL OF RAJA BROOKE. —The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer, Euxine, Captain Evans, arrived at Southampton yesterday, from Constantinople, Smyrna, Malta, and Gibraltar, from which places she brought ship letter bags. Am ong h er passengers was Sir James Brooke, Raj 4 of Sarawak and Governor of Borneo. Sir J ames appeared in excellent h ea lth and spirits, and was ac companied by his nephew, Mr. Grant. He stopped an hour or two at Southampton, and then took his departure for Lon don. Amongst the cargo brought by the Euxine was specie in gold and silver, valued at t0,0..0/., from Constantinople. The Euxine left Malta on the 25th, and Gibraltar on the 3 th. The Right Hon. More O'Ferrall, the Governor of Malta, was to leave Malta a day or two after the Euxine Left, and intended to reach England yid Rome. MR. THOMAS DUNCOMBE AND HIS POPISH RE SOLUTION.—We understand that Mr. Thomas Duncombe has already begun to repent the pledge he came under to the Irish Members, t o b r i ng forward the Popish resolution, which we gave on a former occasion. He is described to us as being just now i n a very pitiable state ofmind, i n consequence of the con fli ct wh i ch is going on within, be tween what he had undertaken to do, and what he now feels would be the course which prudence would dictate. We shall be able in a day or two to give the Hon. Gentleman's final conclusion on the subject. But be that conclusion what it may, he will soon find that his recent Popish and most un natural associations will have put an extinguisher on his Parliamentary life. Coming events cast their shadows be fore. We alre a d y h ear b y anticipation the electors of Fins bury tellin g hi m t h at h e will never more be representative of theirs.—Advertiser. FURIOUS DRIVING.—At the Lambeth Police court yesterday Mr. Elliott inflicted a fine of Ns. on Mr. Isaac ‘4, illianison, the landlord of the Crown Inn, at Croydon, and the proprietor of an omnibus which lie himself drives, for furious driving in the neighbourhood of Kennington-gate; and a fine of 10s. on Robert Overall, the driver of one of Ball.' omnibuses, for a similar offence. The prisoners were racing at the time, the race having been commenced by Williamson. PROPOSED RIDE ACROSS KENSINGTON-GARDEN S . —A very numerous deputation, representing the inhabitants of Kensington, Bayswater, and Paddington, heeded by Archdeacon Sinclair, Mr. Evans, M.P., and accompani e d b y Lord Robert Grosve nor , M.P., had an interview with Lord Seymour at the . ffice of the Woods and Forests, to protest against the threatened ride across Kensington-gardens. The deputation enforced upon Lord Seymour their notion of the injury which would be dcne to the frequenters of the gardens of all classes, and more particularly to ladies, invalids, a n d children, by carrying into effect the contemplated altera yde-park tions, and showed that any inconvenience Which might arise to equestrians from the effect of a p ort i on of H being f r a time taken from them ought not to b e compen sated by any part of Kensington -gardens being witdraw from those who were accustomed to t a k e their walks h there n and expressed their hope that his Lordship, considering the S a e f y te m rw ou a r rd h s a a y ss in e g mb j strong feeling entertained by the public on tbesub'ect, would b re o co w, ns t i h d e er de th pu e t q a t i e o s n tio re n t . ire L d, o a rd nd m led ad a e t th i s: Ship Hotel, Chat ing-cross, to concert measures for carrying their object into effect. COLLISION AT SEA. --At half-past two on Monday morning the schooner Fife, of Exeter, 11. Dare, from Exeter to Newcastle, while off Beachy Head, was run down by a fatho foreig ms n brig. Shea fil led immedi a t e l y , an d sank in twenty of r. The crew had just time to push off one ot the boats and throw a few clothes into it previous to leaving the ill-fated schooner. The crew were picked up by the brig James, hastings on Monday. The Fife was engaged in the coal CHANCERY. -(THIS DAY.) IN RE BYO& SOMBRE. His Lordshi p , ass i sted by Sir G. K.

The name of Mr. Dyce Sombre, the subject of the petition, formerly the Member for Sudbury, has been frequently before the public in connexion with former petitions. The affidavits and arguments were at great length,and promised to extend over a much longer time than the present day. ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.) V. StARDEX. The argument s in this p a rtheardcase, which have already occupied the C ourt two days, were again resumed this morning. VICE-CHANCERY. -(THIS DAY.) (Before Vice-Chancellor TURNER.) His Honour was occupied to-day with small causes, none of which were of importance. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco ) THE QUEEN V. LONDON AND .NORTH-WESTERN RAILWAY,. Lord CAMPBELL gave judgment in this case, which was a rule for a peremptory mandamus requiring the London and North-Western Railway Company to make their Burton branch. The answer of the company to the rule was that their compulsory powers for taking land had expired, and they had, therefore, no authority to make the required branch. The Court was of opinion that the company was entitled to their judgment, and the rule was accordingly dismissed. THE QUEEN V. NORFOLK RAILWAY COMPANY. Mr. CROWDER, Q.C., appeared in support of this manda mus, but as the circumstances of the case were precisely similar to those disclosed in the judgment which the Court had just pronounced, he did not think it advisable to trouble the Court with any arguments.—Rule discharged. 98 97 [2B4i 22 88 89 4% 34 % MARKET NEWS. . (THIS DAY . ) ________ CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY The quantity of English Wheat on sale in to-day's mar ket being very limited, factors generally were firm. The amount of business doing, however, was comparatively small, at Monday's quotations. Upwards of 12,000 quar ters of Foreign Wheat have come to hand since Saturday', and a large portion has been landed in warehouse. Fine dry qualities changed hands slowly, at full currencies; but the middling and inferior kinds were quite neglected. In' floating cargoes nothing doing. The show of Barley samples was small. On the whole, the trade ruled firm; at very full prices Malt —the supply of which ready for. delivery was tolerably good—moved off slowly at late rates. We had a fair inquiry for Oats, Beans, and l'eas, at full quo tations. Flour and Indian Corn ruled dull, but they were not considered cheaper. English Irish .. Foreign Oats.

These young Lords W I. honourable Members of Parliament, who all day , ll6l ll been stiff and solemn, answering Yes' and ' No, an not daring to make any further remark on the romance` and literature of the day than shocking' or beauti tul,' all these slaves of cant and conventionalism, uncle the influence of champagne and the alcohol of madeir and port, throw off their costs and cravats, open thei waistcoats, and in fact undress in public. The great amusement at the 'Finish' is to make a poor girl dee ; drunk, and th en pour some vinegar mixed with pep"( ' and mustard down her throat, which throws her int 0 horrible convulsions. This is capital fun! Another gate a much appreciated by these fasbionables is to thro a glasses of pu nc h an d other liquids over the dresses , these miserable girls whom they have intoxicated. I have seen the most gorgeous satin dresses, of which t' Se original colour could not be discerned amid a confus mixed of stains of porter, brandy, wine, and coffee ee which made a thousand fantastic patterns.

About seven or eight in the morning they retire from the 'Finish.' The stervanto call cabs. Gentlemen who can stand search for their clothes in a heterogeneous mass of great coats, paletots, Coats, and waistcoats. As to the others, the waiters dress them with the first garments they can lay their hands on, carry them to cabs, and tell the driver where the package' is to be delivered. If they do not know their address, they stow them away in a particular room until they have sense enough to say where they live. I need hardly say that the charges at these establish ments are enormous, and that those who get drunk are generally relieved of their purses, watches, and gold chains. In fact, the science of theft is so well known to the deities of these places that, although drunk them selves, they always manage to pick the pockets of their noble victims. The next moment the same people go to , their clubs, ask the news with the greatest nonchalance, but never wake any allusion to the adventures of last night. They meet as if they had never seen one another at the Finish;' on this subject there is a sort of mutual assurance established in London on a large scale. London is the town of colossal debauchery and ridiculous modesty in language. All the legs of the sofas and chairs have trousers. It is the same with the pianos. I asked my hostess why these articles of fur niture were clothed more than the ballet girls at the Haymarket and Covent-garden. ' Oa, sir,' said she, would not you be shocked to see the legs of the chairs?' In England, if you were to speak of the legs of a chair it would be very shocking.'"

Ab out one hundred members of the association sat dawn to dinner. The customary loyal toasts were proposed by the chairman, who, in propo'ing the principal toast of the evening, referred to the opinion expressed by a celebrated statesman, who had been compelled to seek an asylum in this country, that while charities on the Continent were sup ported by the Government, in this country they were self suppor . t • ng Among these the pre sent association was one of the most important and influential, since it provided for those of its body who, i brough reverse of fortune might, but for its assistance, be compelled to resort to the union work house. More than this, they took charge of the orphans' of deceased members, who, under its fostering care, were enable l to become industrious members of society. From the report submitted to him he was enabled to congratulate them on an increase of their f un d s, and an improvement ge nerally in their income : and he trusted that his unskilled advocacy would not tend to the prejudice of the institution, whose welfare and prosperity he was anxious to promote.-- (Cheers.) The health of the chairman was afterwards pro posed by Mr. Leeson. The Chairman, in acknowledging the compliment, said he had always felt it his duty during his shrievalty, and he did so still, to evince his sympathy with those benevolent institutions whose object was to rblieve the wants or alleviate the sufferings of their fellow-creatures. The " Health of the President and Vice-President" was duly responded to by Mr. Allen, and " The Treasurer and Trus tees," " The Committee and Auditors," were cordially re ceived, and a ppropriately acknowledged by Mr. J. B. Humphreys, the treasurer, who read a long list of subscrip tions in the course of the evening, among which the name of the chairman was included to the amount of 10 guineas, and many of his friends for smaller sums. A portion of the band of the (Coldstream played various pieces, and there was some excellent singing by Messrs. Perren, Banks, and Becket in the course of the evening.
