In the Commons new write were move d for D evonport in the room of Sir JoUN BoNlLL'its appointed Master of the 4011 s; for Southampton, in th e room of Sir A. E. COCKBURN, appointed Attorney - General; and for Ox ford city, in the room of Mr. PAGE W's ", appointed Solicitor-General. Lord. JOHN RUSSELL announced the intention of the Government with regard to public business. It w m , pro. posed, ho raid, that the House should sit to-mor row (this day) to receive tho report of the Committee of Supply en the Army Estimates voted that evening; tbat on Monday it should again go into Committee of Stipp") , on the Army and Ordnance Estimates; that on Friday next the CHANCELLOR cf . the EXCHE QUER would state the alterations be proposed to ma ke in his financial arrangements, and on the came day move in Committee of Ways and Mea ns .4 a resoluti on respec ti ng th e con tinuance of the it - Iconic-tax, when the proposition of Mr. HERRIES might be debated; that the Ec clesiastical Titles Assumption Bill should be committed or laki k t 4y. t h e 2,1 of May; and with respect to the mea stip f'Qr th'e 0,,ji1a,4( of the offi ce of Ltyrd-Lieutenant ' of ••Iritand, he observe d that the proposition made Mat year hattebewn that kilo general opinion in Ireland was ovueirablf ten; the corft,Hivance of the office, and although CRios l AikiltlM 7l s its di/M l ltil 4 We remaned tux. •.• • -\,.• • , w THE SUN, altered, looking at the quantity of business before the House, he did not intend to introduce that measure this session. He added that when the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill had passed through Committee he thought it desir able to proceed with the remaining stages of that Bill as expeditiously as possible. The House was occupied for a considerable time in the consideration of petitions respecting the St. Alban's and the Aylesbury elections. On the motion for going into Committee of Supply, Mr. HomE complained of going on with Supply before the Budget was brought forward. Lord JOHN RUSSELL defended the conduct of the Government. _ _ In reply to a question from Mr. B. OSBORNE, Lord J. RUSSELL said he would bring forward the Jews' Relief Bill on the 3d of April. He also gave notice that on Monday next he would move the appoint ment of a Committee to inquire into the nature of our South African relations. Sir W. MOLESWORTII gave notice that he would move, as an amendment, that the Committee should be appointed to consider the best means of relieving this country from the expense of Kafir and other wars in South Africa. Colonel DUNNE moved, as an amendment, the follow ing resolution:—" That orders having been given not to receive any more pensioners into the Royal Military Asylum at Kilmainham, it may be interred that it is the intention of her Majesty's Government to abolish that establishment, and it is the opinion of this House that such abolition is not advisable." Mr. GRATTAN seconded the amendment. In the course of the discussion which followed, Mr. Fox MAITLE declared that the soldier preferred the out-pension system to the in-pension one, and that there was at this moment ample accommodation in Chel sea Hospital for all the in-pensioners, but that no one would be removed from Kiimainham who was entitled to be there. Lord JOHN RUSSELL expressed his opinion that it would be unadvisable to come to any decision on the subject until the Committee should have made its report. On a division the amendment was negatived by a ma jority of 32, the numbers being—for the amendment, 105; against it, 137. After a short conversation on the subject of the recent increase made in the salary of Mr. JOHN WOOD, the Chairman of the Board of Inland Revenue, the House went into Committee of Supply, and Mr. Fox MAULE brought forward the army esti mates, and said he should propose for the present year a vote for 98,714 men, being only 414 less than the number voted last year; but of the 414 thus reduced, no less than 101 were officers and 25 non commissioned officers. The Right Honourable Gentle man then stated various reductions which had been made in the army estimates in the course of the last year, and said that the second vote be should propose would be the sum of 3,521,0691. to defray the requisite expenses of the men, being 41,3601. less than the sum voted last year. He dwelt on the improved condition of the soldiers, in consequence of the establishment of schools, libraries, &c., and showed that notwithstanding in creased expenses in some particulars, there was a total saving on the estimated for the army, effective and non effective, of no less than 93,4521. The Right Hon. Gentleman also congratulated the House upon the fact that punishments in the army had greatly decreased. The number of imprisonments last year was considerably less than those of the year preceding, while corporal punishments had actually diminished nearly one-half. Mr. HussE moved the reduction of the vote by 5,000 men. The amendment, which was seconded by Mr. WIL LIAM WILLIAMS, and supported by Sir W. MOLESWORTH and Mr. MACGREGOR, was opposed by Lord JOHN RUS SELL; and, on a division, negatived by a majority of 139, the numbers being for the amendment, 47; against it, 186. The vote was then agreed to. Mr. W. WILLIAMS moved that the Chairman do re port progress, as it was not right to proceed voting large sums of money without discussion at that late hour. The motion was opposed by Mr. Fox MAULE, and ne gatived by a majority of 139, the numbers being—for the motion, 29; against it, 16S. Mr. Hu ex then moved that the Chairman do leave the chair, On which Lord J. RUSSELL consented not to proceed further that night, but to take the Committee of Supply the first thing on Monday. The CHAIRAIA.N then reported progress, the House resumed, and after the transaction of some routine busi ness, adjourned. Heartily rejoiced are we to observe that there is at length some probability of bringing forcibly under the consideration of the House of Commons the pre posterous number of flag-officers for several years past maintained on the list of the Royal Navy of England. A notice of motion to that effect was made last evening by the Honourable Gentleman the Mem ber for Montrose. We may reasonably anticipate, therefore, that some attention will be paid :to this very glaring grievance, especially taking into account the feeling which is now happily becoming each day more prevalent, a feeling in favour of a large and well-considered diminution in our annual expenditure. What is complained of is simply this—the mainte nance, after thirty-three years' peace, of no less than 150 admirals, whereas in 1792, at the commencement of the war with France, we were satisfied with just 69, absolutely less than half the number. An increase so anomalous, unnecessary, and extravagant, is, as suredly on the face of it, enough to justify an inquiry, at the very least, if that inquiry does not perforce bring about a sweeping, but gradual re duction. More particularly must this truth force itself upon the recognition of the Legislature when it is borne in mind that 75 out of the 150 admirals now on the navy list, are upwards of seventy years of age, so that about six more than the entire number requisite for the service of the country in 1792, may be said to be, in 1851, superannuated ! Anything more lamentable than this we can scarcely imagine to ourselves—anything more singularly calculated to be detrimental to the interests of the profession. It would appear as if the custodians of those interests regarded extreme age as a necessary qualification for fulfilling the duties of a flag-officer, as was thought by some to be the case among the Popes at Rome and among the Doges at Venice. Why, than this assuredly no notion could be more painfully erroneous. Was not NELSON, compara tively speaking, young in years, though old in glory, when, at forty-seven, he purchased his last victory with his death at Trafalgar ? Had not General NAPOLEON BONAPARTE, when only twenty-seven, conquered the plains of Lombardy, and twice routed the veteran forces of Austria ? Did not ALEXANDER the GREAT, before he was thirty-two, cover Asia, and Europe, and Africa with his fame, leaving an empire to be divided among his lieutenants, when he had only received from his father the kingdom of Macedonia ? Was not SYDNEY SMITH a post-captain at eighteen ? Was the author of " Arcadia" grey when he died on the field of battle ? The argument, indeed, is, in every way, ridiculously untenable. Why, Sir WALTER RA LEIGH was still in the ripeness of his manhood when, after conveying his vessels across the Atlantic to Virginia, he sat down to write his history of the world in his dungeon in the Tower of London! Why, GUSTA VUS ADOLPHUS was still in the bloom of his youth when he fought the great fight at Lutzen ! And Corson was young when he vanquished the troops of Turenne ! And MARLBOROUGH when he gained the day at Malplaquet ! And COOK when he had twice cir cumnavigated the globe ! And COLUMBUS, too; the greatest of geographical discoverers, was a stripling when he first dreamt of that new world which he was, nevertheless, not permitted to see until his hair was white, not with age, but with suffering ! Might we not instance, moreover, in the same way, that famous Sumo, who was a boy when he measured his sword with that of HANNIBAL, the most redoubtable of the wonderful captains of antiquity ? Were we, however, to indulge in these biographical recollections, we might as effectually overwhelm those who differed from us in opinion with a multiplicity of facts capable of appropriate citation, as did old AUSTIN CARTON when he drowned the unfortunate Mr. SQUILLS in the douche bath of his argument. It was somewhat thus, if we remember rightly, that the travelled Jew SIDONIA overcame the youthful diffidence of CONINGSBY. And gladly should we witness the discomfiture by the same means of those adventurous defenders of a great abuse who may be bold enough to uphold the necessity of age in 75 out of 150 admirals. The mere defence of the latter number in the abstract will be quite enough, we opine, to baffle the ingenuity of the most sophistical orator in extenuation. For, assuredly, it will de mand no trivial amount of ability to show that, in 1851, after a period of thirty-six years' uninterrupted tranquility, we require upon the navy list more than double the number of admirals found neces. airy for the wants of the service at the time when we were struggling against France and NAPO LEON. Such, however, is the line of reason ing those who ve nture t o question the a gfproprietyn.ocrffiec?ceio withi n tbia graduallyreasonable reducing proportion tlle . n E um ith be er r of o admirals are required in a timethe y maintain of peac e , ,thatalthough 69 were fo un d t o b e enoug h they must ack now l edge that the f e l Z h i 3 extravagant --and controvertingin time of war--a a ; r—a or propositi on too ridiculous to need gant—and in that case b t e h r ey of m fl u af t - al offier s lo c wth the demand for th e i r reutiotion to be both reasonable and judicious. Those are the horns of the dilemma upon which they are at present fixed somewhat uncomfortably. And upon those horns they are about to be rather dis tressingly tossed by the Financial Reformers in the House of Commons, led on by the veteran Member for the berough of Montrose. Fortunately for the pockets of the people and for the truest interests of the naval profession, there is no escape just now from the an noyance of the argument. The notice of motion was given only yesterday by Mr. Hums to the following effect : Before Mr. Speaker leaves the chair on the first Com mittee of Supply for the Navy Estimates, to move an humble address to her Majesty, praying that she will be pleased to take into consideration the statement and recommendation contained in the report on the Navy Estimates, presented to the House of Commons by the Select Committee on Naval Expenditure in 1849, namely," That in 1792, at the commencement of the war with France, the number of admirals was only 69. After thirty-three years' peace, the present number of admirals is 150, exclusive of the retired admirals, and of these 75 of the effective list are above se►enty years of age. " A certain proportion of the list of admirals must be composed of officers who have grown old in the service, who deserve well of their country, and who are entitled to higher rank and to higher pay on account of' their merits, although they are no longer able to serve afloat; but when it is considered that in the last naval war with France (the greatest on record), not more than 36 ad mirals were employed at any one time; and that, at the present moment, the services of only 14 are required, it would not seem unreasonable that the number of ad mirals, now fixed, according to the scheme sanctioned in 1846, at 150, should be gradually reduced to a number not exceeding a hundred. _ _ " Your Committee recommend that this gradual re duction should be effected by promoting only one cap tain to the rank of admiral on the death of three flag officers, according to the rule of promotion adopted in 1830, until the lists shall have been reduced to the maximum of 100; and thenceforth a captain may be promoted to fill each vacancy as it occurs on the lists." Consequently on the first Committee of Supply for the navy estimates the matter will be revived in the Legislature for serious re-consideration. It has already been shown in these columns very frequently in what manner the desired reduction in the list of flag-officers might be brought about without inflicting any injustice, either upon those who are at this mo ment admirals, or on those who are in expectation of obtaining the same dignity in their profession. Let the promotions, as Mr. HuME suggests, take place at every third deatb, until such time as the number of flag-officers shall come within reasonable limits, and the nation will not long have reason for further complaint upon the subject, considering the great age already attained by so many admirals still surviving. Some modified ar rangement of the kind has indeed become impera tively necessary, and we have every confidence in leaving to the Financial Reformers in the House the responsibility of bringing about the desired improve ment. On Monday morning the census will be taken, and from the admirable arrangements which have been made by the Registrar-General, there can be but little doubt that the information obtained will be much more accurate and much more extensive, and conse quently much more valuable, than that which has been obtained on any former similar occasion ; but, in order to render the census perfect it is absolutely necessary that the public should co-operate cordially with the authorities, and that every householder should make it a point of honour to answer fully, accurately, and correctly, all the questions which have been put to him in the various schedules left at his residence by the enumerator whether those questions be or be not such as he can be compelled to answer by law, as the most valuable portion of the information sought, that, namely, which relates to the statistics of education, secular and religious, can only be elicited by those questions to which parties are not compellable by law to return replies. To their honour be it spoken, the great majority of the teachers, secular and religious, have determined to furnish to the Government this neces sary information ; the Congregational Union, the London Congregational Board, the Baptist Union, and the Wesleyan Methodists have cordially entered Into the views of the Government, and have sent circulars to the various churches in com munion with them, recommending them to co-operate zealously with the authorities in this matter. The proprietors of private educational establishments will also, we believe, lend their willing aid to this effort to ensure something like accuracy in the educational statistics of the country, and the true and honest Protestant portion of the clergy of the Church of England will aid in the endeavour. A fe w of the Puseyite clergy, however, headed by the Bishop of OXFORD, have stood forward as the champions of darkness, and have declared their unwillingness to furnish any information, because the publication of their answers to the questions put to them, should they answer them, must serve to the propagation of error rather than of truth Now, what the meaning of this statement can be, except the announcement of a foregone conclusion to give false answers to the questions put, or if their answers be true, how the publica tion of the truth can serve to the props gation of error we confess that, as at present advised, we are at a loss to discover ; probably the words are used in some mystical and non-natural sense. Above all things, the Bishop of OXFORD seemed to have the greatest horror of any information being fur nished to the public in relation to the numbers of the congregations of these recalcitrant clergymen. We can readily understand why he and his clergy should be sore upon this point ; when clergymen, by their indulgence in clerical histrionics, have reduced the numbers of a congregation down from upwards of 300 to a trifle below 30, they of course wish to hide such a fact from the knowledge of the world. " Clergymen have enough to do without counting their congregation," said the Bishop of OXFORD on Thursday ; he might have added, that as regarded the petitioners the labour of counting the numbers of their congregations would not be overwhelming. We trust that the example of these gentlemen will not be followed. The clergy may rest as sured that whenever they attempt concealment the inference will be that there is something to be ashamed of, something rotten in the state of the parish. They should also consider whether such attempts at concealment can be successful, and whether the very fact 'of their having refused information will not act as an induce ment to their parishioners to furnish it. At all events, we have no doubt but that, by some means or other, the information required will be obtained, and that the census returns of 1851 will be the most accurate ever made. CABINET COUNCIL.—(Tms DAY.)—The Cabinet Ministers assembled in Council this afternoon at the Foreign office. There were present—Lord John Russell, the Lord Chancellor, the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Grey, the Marquis of Clanricarde, Viscount Palmerston, Sir George Grey, the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Sir Francis T. Baring, the Right Hon. Fox Maule, and the Right Hon. H. Labouchere. The Marquis of Lansdowne was absent in consequence of the dangerous illness of the Marchioness, and the Earl of Minto has been suffering from indisposition. Her Majesty, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the Countess of Desart, the Hon. Mies Mur ray, Lord Alfred Paget, Lord Elphinstone, and Col. Bouve rie, visited Drury-lane Theatre last evening, to witness the spectacle of Azael, the Prodigal, and was graciously pleased to express herself highly gratified. TACTICS OF TEE IRISH MEMBERS.—A meeting of the Irish Members took place yesterday, in a private room of the House of Commons, for the purpose of considering what course of action it would be most expedient to adopt with reference to their further resistance to the Papal Aggression Bill. There were from forty to fifty Members present. It was eventually agreed that a standing committee of their number should be,appointed to communicate with the Roman Catholic hierarchy in England and Ireland, in order to ascer tain their views with regard to what amendments it would be most advisable to propose, with the view of defeating the Bill in Committee. Mr. Sadlier, Mr. Macullagh, Mr. Keogh, Mr. Maunsell, and Mr. John O'Connell, were the committee appointed to carry out the objects of the meeting. It was agreed that the better course would be to study so to frame the intended amendments as to catch as many as possible of the votes, not only of the Puseyites, but of the independent Liberals of the Hume, and Roebuck, and Cobden class. It was the general opinion of the meeting that between the re sistance which they will be able to offer to the measure on the ground of its going too far, and the pressure which the Protestant party will bring to bear upon Ministers on the ground of its not going far enough, Lord John Russell will feel compelled to abandon the Bill in disgust, and with its abandonment again relinquish office.—Advertiser. There are at the present time 440 acting magis trates in the county of Lancaster, the oldest of whom is Lord Skelmeredale (Lord Stan!ey's father• in-law), who qualified in January, 1800. Sir Alexander Cockburn has been promoted to the I office of Attorney-General, in place of Sir John Romilly, and is succeeded as Solicitor-General by Mr. Page Wood. THIS VACANT COLONELCY.—It is understood that Major-General Smelt will be removed from the 62d Regiment to the 37th, and that Major-General Lightfoot Will be ap pointed Colonel Otte 02ct Regiment. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. On Thursday a very stormy debate took place in the Assembly on the subject of the suspension of M. MICHELET, and the dismissal of MM. JACQUES and GUEPIN from their offices as teachers. At the con clusion the order of the day, pure and simple, was voted by a majority of 243, and the President, M. DUPIN, declared the sitting closed, thus depriving M. ARNAUD DE L'ARRIEGE of the opportunity of withdrawing his motion for the abolition of the elec toral law of May, of which he had given notice. At the meeting of the Assembly yesterday, M. ARNAUD DE L'ARRIEGE mounted the tribune to pro• test, by way of incident on the proces• verbal, against the disgraceful juggling of M. Doris: on the preceding day in defeating his withdrawal of his mo tion, although he had placed a letter in the hands of the President of the Assembly early in the sitting, to announce the step he wished to take. M. ARNAUD then gave notice of the resignation of his post as Se cretary of the Assembly. After some observations from M. Dorm, who bore witness to the valuable ser vices of M. ARNAUD, the proces-verbal was adopted. On the order of the day for the discussion of the proposition of M. DESMARS for applying the same electoral law to the Assembly and the PRESIDENT, M. VAISSE, Minister of the Interior, said that he thought proper to come forward before the discussion on the proposition of M. DESMARS, relative to the election of the PRESIDENT of the Republic, to renew and confirm, frankly, and once for all, the declaratiou he had previously made. The Government recog nised but one electoral law, applicable both to the election of the PRESIDENT and that of the representa tives of the people. The taking into consideration of M. DESMARS' proposition he considered useless and superfluous, but, although the Committee was of the same opinion, be did not oppose its discussion, leaving its expediency to the appreciation of the Assembly.— (" Very well !") After a short discussion, M. VATIMESNIL proposed an order of the day thus motived :—" The National Assembly, after having heard the declaration, loyally made by the Minister of the Interior, in the name of the executive power, and adhering to the conclusion of the report, passes to the order of the day," which was carried by a majority of 466 to 21. The dis cussion on the proposition of M. ARNAUD DE L'ARRIEGE, for the repeal of the law of alny, thon came on, but he was permitfpa fn withdraw the motion. It is said that the PRESIDENT of the Republic and M. ODILON BARROT have come to an understanding on the subject of the formation of a new Ministry. M. PASSE has been named reporter of the Com mit tee on the Budget. The Bourse was firm yesterday, with an improvement in the price or Government Steck.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken for export and on speculation. The market was steady.—Railway Shares were again depressed, the business being limited and at lower prices. The changes that occurred last week in the Bank of Eng land balance-sheet hinge mainly upon the advance of the quarter and the movement peculiar thereto. The circula tion was lessened, owing to the increrving sums placed to the credit of the Chancellor of the Exchequer for the year's revenue. The reduction of private lodgments may arise from the disposition to iavest in Railway Securities. The sum of the precious metals keeps very steady. Compared with the previous week, the results are as follows ... £27,715,620 3,930 ... 3,619,206 Increase .. .. .. 2,839 Public Deposits ... 8,79'2;245 Increase ... ... 564,256 Other Deposits ... 8,977,263 Decrease ... .. ... ... 310,563 Seven Day and other Bills ... 1,016,085 Decrease 8,907 Government Securities no alteration Other Securities ... 12,907,809 Increase 3,591 Notes ... ... 9,221,300 Increase ... ... 265,045 Bullion ... ... 14,399,060 Decrease ... 1 7, 0 81 Active Circulation ... ... 18,494,320 Decrease ... ... 261,115 Yesterday afternoon the rates at which Bills of Exchange were negotiated on the principal continental cities were rather lower on Amsterdam, Hamburgh, Frankfort, and Trieste. On Paris and Antwerp there was no alteration.

Letters from Vienna of the 26th state that it is extremely probable that MANTEIIFIEL will resign the portfolio of Foreign Affairs, and confine his attention to the performance of his duties as President. Accounts from Vienna of the '23d state that the Austrian Government has manifested a disposition to make concessions to Prussia on the German question. Letters from Vienna state that the insurrection in Bosnia is spreading, and the Austrian intervention is probable. It was to have an excuse for intervening that Austria originally fomented that insurrection. SWITZERLAND. The Swiss journals of the 25th contain but few additional details on the affair of Friburg. On the in surgents were found the list of a provisional govern ment charged to draw up a new constitution, and a decree for establishing a court-martial with absolute power. There was also found a proclamation announc ing the dissolution of the present Government, the dis missal of all functionaries, &c. The Revue de Genive states that eight or nine peasants were killed in the attempted insurrection, and that Canard, the leader, and many more of the insurgents, were taken pri soners. The Council of the State had declared the town in a state of siege. Neither the townsmen nor the country people at the market showed any sym pathy with the movement. The Gazette de Bale contains a letter from Berne, of March 25, which says— " I have just this moment received intelligence from Friburg stating that this day, at one o'clock, disturb ances had again broken out there. The gates of the town were closed, and the tiring of cannon was heard on the side of the Jesuits' Convent. A much larger body of malcontents had advanced on this occasion than on the preceding." TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—A Liverpool correspondent, who subscribes himself by the rather inelegant, but perhaps, appropriate cognomi nation of " Dickey Sam," Propounds a couple of satirical queries in a quiet way, which as the querist is, I fancy, not quite so dicky as his name would imply, he, no doubt, can answer himself as well as I can ; but, in case (it must be " a case" if such should be the case) I am wrong in my conjecture, and the forty or fifty ounces of cerebral matter lodged in the writer's "knowledge-box" for useful purposes should not be in good working order, or, rather distant probability, he should really be a turf amateur in want of the information, allow me to inform him that my selection, the Young-up, did not run for the Leamington Steeplechase, for reasons that are well known now to the veriest tyro in the London division of the sport ing world, but which, at the time I wrote, had not reached my ears; and, with respect to the name of the John O'Gaunt colt, I am not aware that he has, as yet, received any; his non-appearance at Northampton I cannot account for. What on earth are the powers the sporting community imagine we sporting writers are possessed of ? Übiquity, and second-sight at the very least ! We may be so gifted to a certain extent, but it is in the shape of judgment, ex perience, and good information, nothing else. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. March 29, 1851.

Charteris, Sir B. Hall, Mr. 11. Stuart, Mr. H. E. Adair, and Mr. E. Ellice, jun. (Chairman). AYLESBURY ELECTION.--The following Members have been appointed to try the merits of this petition :—Hon. J. W. Fortescue, Sir E. Hayes, Mr. J. B. Smith, Mr. W. Miles, and Mr. G. A. Hamilton (Chairman). DEVONPORT ELECTION.—PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY.-- The writ for the election at Devonport, consequent upon the elevation of Sir John Romilly as Master of the Rolls, will probably be dawn to-morrow (Saturday), in which case pro clamation will be made on its receipt, and the nomination will take place on Wednesday next, the 2d of April. The learned gentleman was first returned for Devonport, in con junction with Mr. Tufnell, at the general election in July, 1847, when he was unsuccessfully opposed by Mr. Sanders. When created Solicitor-General in March, 1848, he was re elected without opposition, and be walked over the course in July, 1850, when made Attorney-General. There is no indication of any opposition to the fourth election of Sir John, whose address will most likely appear to-morrow, when he is expected to visit the borough, the consti tuency of which will be met at Stonehouse on Monday, and Devonport on Tuesday evening, prior to the election the next day. TURNING TILE RAIN TO PROFIT.--Within the last few days a well-dressed young man has been in the neigh bourhood of Blackheath borrowing umbrellas from house holders under the assumed name of " an assistant" of one of the medical men. His mode of operation has been to watch the advent of a shower, then make a hasty call, promising, on his return, to leave the borrowed umbrella. We hope this information will act as a caution to aervants and house keepers, Railways. Aberdeen.. .. • • • • Ambergate, Nottingham, Boston, & E.

In consequence of the hearing of this case having been fixed for to-day the court was more than usually crowded. After a brief discussion as to the service of some additional affidavits on both sides, Mr. BoLT said he appeared in support of the petition of the Rev. Dr. Voyle, praying that an additional sum of 1,500 1 : for the ensuing year might be paid to the trustees, and handed over by them in instalments, or otherwise, to the pe titioner, who was the legal guardian of Miss Talounbot,g to be applied for the maintenance of t he y lady, and that the Court should dec ide on e scheme for the residence during the remainder of her minority- The Learned Counsel referred at length to the whole pr ceedings which had taken place in this matter since Mies Talbot and her brother, who is now deceased, became wards in Chancery, and ia the course of his observations said it was perfectly clear that when the father of Miss Talbot made Dr. Doyle her guardian, it was his wish that she should be brought up in the Roman Catholic persuasion. The Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, who had previously the care of the young lady, were now abroad, and Dr. Doyle now asked the assistance and direction of the Court as to her residence during the summer. He quite approved of the lady whose name his Lordship had furnished the parties with as a fit and proper person to have the care of ber, and was ready to consent to her remaining with that lady until a further order was made by his Lordship, or as long as circumstance s reneered it convenient and desirable. All remaining to be done in that case would be to see that such a residence was consonant with the feelings of the young lady. She would be in London on Monday next, and his Lordship would best ascertain from her own lips whether the ar rangement was acceptable to her. Mr. BAGSHAWE made a few observations on the same side. Mr. PARKER, on the part of the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, said they concurred entirely in the view taken by Dr. D, yle, and would consent to the arrangement pro posed for the residence of Miss Talbot in association with her legal guardians. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL (Mr. Page Wood), who opposed for Mr. Craven Berkeley, said he had nothing to do with his Learned Friend's petition, as he had not been served With a copy of it. The LORD CHANCELLOR said, as there did not apirer to be any opposition to the application he saw no objection to it. The circumstances of the young lady had so c hanged es to render it necessary and proper that some new arrangement should be made. The matter had better go before the blaster, who would see what was the most proper scheme to be adopted under the circumstances. He bad had some communication with the Master, and he had promised to be good enough to attend to the reference immediately. His Lordship then observed that he had written to Miss Talbot, acquainting her what arrangement he had made for her re ception in London, and he had received a letter from her this morning expressing her entire acquiescence in it. She said she would be in town on Monday , and he s hould feel it his duty to see her as soon as possible. The matter was then referred to the Master in the usual way, for his report. The SOLICITOR - GENERAL was then heard in support of the petition of Mr. Berkeley, the object of which was nearly the same as the above, with the exception that Mr. Berkeley wished to have access to the young lady, and to be at liberty to make certain representations with reference to her resi dence before the Master. The Solicitor •General observed that the petition of Dr. Doyle was not presented until after Mr. Berkeley's, and until some superior authority was brought to bear upon the case. The hearing was likely to occupy the Court the whole day. BOW-STREET.—(THIS George and Charles hlailes, two young men, were charged before Mr. Henry with stealing a watch, of the value of 3/.. the property of W. Jones, potman at the Bull's Head public house, New Oxford- s t ree t. I t appeared that for some time past the prisoners h a d b een i n t h e h a bi t o f go i ng every morn ing into the taproom of the house, and the elder, George , being known to h ave b een a potman, somet i mes l en t a band to the prose cu t or . O n S a t ur d ay morn i ng l as t, they were in the house, an d th e prosecutor too k o ff hi s coat and waistcoat to wash himself, and whilst he was 50 engaged, the prisoners walked out of the house. Soonafter their departure the prosecutor discovered that his watch had been taken out of his waistcoat pocket; and. he now swore positively that no one but the prisoners and 131F1- self had been in the kitchen from the time he laid down his waistcoat. On Wednesday Charles was taken into cu to tot and on the same night the other prisoner was traced New-cut, where he also was taken. Mr. HENRY said he could have no doubt from th e ev . the pollee idence an that they took the watch, and he should give other week to ascertain how it was disposed of.
