The Church Beildinge Act Amendment Bill was or. dered to be referred to a Select Committee, and their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, On the motion for . going into Committee on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, Mr. MooRE moved, as an amendment, "That the standing order which' requires that Bills concerning religion should be first eonsidemo in a Committee of :he' *hole House be read, and that the order for the Committee on the Ecclesiatical Titles Assumption Bill be discharged." Sir G. GREY aid the quettion had been considered before the introduction of the Bill, and the decision ar rived at was, that the Bill did not come within the scope of the standing order. Mr. ROEIWCE Wtt9 of a different opinion. rel T ig h io e n S Zre All t it ter s 4 e d d thatw ith thereunless would be thespir n i o tu n al e i c t e ie s e sit o y f for submitting the. Bill in the first instance to a Com mittee of the whole House. Mr. M. GIBSSN su g gested that a Select Committee should be appointed to search for precedents. Mr- H. GRATTAN supported the motion of Mr. MOORS, Mr. REYNOLDS Said he would move the appointment of a Select Committee, to search for precedents. The SPEAKER said he could not do so as an amend ment. He could ouly negative the motion for his leaving the chair. Mr. IioRBUCK believed it was competent to move an adjournment of the debate. The SPEAKER replied in the affirmative; and Mr. REYNOLDS accordingly did so, in order to give time for the appointment of a Committee. Mr. KEOGH said that Mr. BRODIE, Mr. BADDELEY, and Sir blxzttor KELLY considered that the Bill ought to have been introduced in Committee. • The SoLwiToK-GENERAL denied that the Bill affected spiritualities. Mr. GLAtoSTONE would vote for a Committee to search for precedents,' if that question could be brought fairly before the House. Mr. •SADLEIR supported' the amendment. Lord JOHN RussELL opposed, and Mr. BRIGHT sup ported, a reference to a Select Committee. The House then di . vided, and the adjournment of the debate was negatived by a majority of 179 to 53. Mr.• LAWLESS tkien moved the adjournment of the House, which was seconded by Mr. H. GRATTAN. Mr. REYNOLDS said that if Lord JOHN RUSSELL would grant a Committee to inquire into precedents he and hiv friends would in the mean time allow the Bill to proceed in Committee. Sir G. GREY hoped the House, after the recent divi sion, would reject the present motion, and allow the Bill to proceed. After some conversation the House again divided, and the motion for adjournment was negatived by a majority of 145 to 36. • Mr. M. J. O'CorotELL opposed the motion for the Speaker's leaving the onair. Mr. URQUHART also opposed the motion. Mr. liEoult wattled the Government against the dan gerous consequences which must attend any attempt to enforce the provi.ions of the Bill in Ireland, and con tended that the POPE had received every encourage ment from the Government to act in the manner he had dote. Lard Jonw RUSSELL denied that there was any per. secution in the proposed measure. I: was a political measure f r ame d to repel an open and daring defiance d the Sovatiaorr of this country by the Court of Rome. Mr. BRIGIIT could not see any necessity for legisla tion in all tnat had- taken place. Mr. SULLY moved the adjournment of the debate. The House divided, and the numbers were— Fcr the adjournment .. ... 54 Against it ... ... 365 Majority ...--3 1 1 Mr. OTL/LTIERTI" then moved the adjournment of the do bate. Lord J. Russel. was in hopes that they might have gone into Committee, hat rather than keep the House dividing all night, he would asbent to the adjournment of the debate until Thursday next. The Property Tax Bill was read a third time and passed. - Lord SEYMOUR obtained leave to bring in a Bill to make better provision for the management of the Woods, Forests, and Land Revenues of the Crown, and for the direction of public works and buildings. Tne remaining business was th.-a dtsposed of, and the House adjourned. here is apparently no art which has been brought a higher degree of perfection than that of obstruct ng the public business of the country. Measures will no longer be carried through Parliament because they are in accordance with public opinion, and are supported by overwhelming majorities in both Houses. They will pass by the favour of the minorities, be cause they have not excited any strong feelings in !the minds of some fifteen or twenty Members, suffi cient to induce those Honourable Gentlemen to enter upon a course, of factious opposition. The promise of "dying on the floor of the House" will henceforward be no mere bruturn fulmen—no empty threat. Any person really arnibitious of martyrdom can accomplish his wishes, provided he can find, two or three tough vete rans, men who would be duly qualified to act as " boot-eaters" at Irish state trials, to render their assistance to carry out the laudable undertaking. Indeed, we believe a single follower will suffice, one who can ring the changes on the questions—" That this . House do now adjourn," and " that the debate be now adjourned." It is necessary, according to the standing orders, that there should be some intermediate proceeding, before either question' can be again proposed. But the spirit of this salu tary rule is violated with impunity by adopting the puerile evasion above indicated, and if a seconder can be found who will act as teller on the division, and vary his position on the next motion, of which he will be the proposer, nothing can be done to stop their course. Two persons can thus overule the wishes of the remaining 654, and can arrest the pro gress of legislation at their mere will and pleasure. This might be a valuable privilege if resorted to only on rare ocCasions, when desirable to prevent surprise, or a question of real importance being adjudicated on without full and mature consideration. But the matter has no A' reached a point at which something must be dune to abate the nuisance that has gradually sprung up. It is those, who have so fearfully abused the power confided to their bands who will be re sponsible for any evils that may arise from the abro gation of the Ancient rule. After the time that had already been .devoted to the cdnaideration of the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill, Ne might have hoped that no further factious oppo sition would have been offered to the progress of the measure. It was even asserted that the Irish Brigade had come to reason, and determined to change their tactics in some ,degree., Every legitimate ground would of course remain open. They might argue and divide on the principle and on each of the details, on teary stage, 'where a division could be fairly called for. In so doing, they would command the respect and sympathy o.f the House and country. But, N''th.heen they w ilf u ll y an d del i berately transgress li mits within whi c h th ey s h ou ld restr i c t thems e l v . s, they than th e must do more to i n j are t h e i r cause opponehts co powerful and u n c omp romising could accomplish. They excit e a f ee li ng of disgust, that n prejudicial, not e7 y tob this u c o t w i v n e i o n f di r v e id su u l a t i s i v n e t r e y: rests, but to the Cause tf universal toleration and liberality. , do not complain of Memberthe point for raised Mayo, thatlsed by th e Honourable Gentlewatt the th e proposition should have been considered and ag reed to in a Committee of th e Nste,„ House b e f ore the introduction of the Bill. A fair point was thereby raised, and if the Ministers had been caught na pping, and that they had overlooked an obvious and necessary precaution , no one co uld have reason ably objected to those who took advantage of the oversight. But it appears that the matter had been clearly. Anticipated and canvassed by the Governme n t; and that the PRLIVIEE had not only obtained th e , opinion 3 of the taw officers of the Crown, but also 0 the highest authority on all questions of Parliamentary practice the SPEAK NE of the House of Commons, a gentieman who would regard with peculiar jealous y . any interfer snce with the pr i v il eges 0 f the body over _ n_ which h e had been selected to preside by the indepe dent voice s of itaMembers. When that opinion had been darsered, w e should Perhaps rather bave said , that:Pl: l g', went pronounced that "it was not ,a Bill of a nature that required to be originated in a Committee of the whole House," the objection should have been withdrawn, and the parties by wl3 om it was Put • ~~~ forward should have yielded gracefully to the adverse decision. In place of that we find motion after motion for adjournment, the majority in creasing on each division until at length it amounted to no less than 311, there being 54 for and 365 against the adjournment, and yet that over whelming majority were obliged to succumb, and to consent that the motion for going into Committe , y should be postponed until Thursday text. Under such circumstances it is clear that a Committee of Inquiry must be"appointed to inquire and report on the standing orders, and to ascertain the best manner of -expediting the progress of legislation in both Houses: It will be observed that a verdict has at length been pronounced in reference to the fatal railway col lision in Cheshire. It will also be remarked that this verdict is couched in language expressive of the most emphatic coodemnation. Accidental—purely acci dental—the death is unqu , stionably pronounced to he, but " with great blame to the executive committee and charge of imprudence and indiscretion against the Officers." Such are the preliminary phraies of the verdict, vague but adverse—the subsequent sentence being somewhat more explicit in its reprobation. There was deficiency,"• it says, " of loco motive power, and the management was so imperfect as to endanger the safety of the public." Whether this decision is or is not in all respects cha racterised by truth, it cannot be denied that it has been arrived at after the most mature deliberation. Nothing could be more painstaking than the attention paid throughout to the inquiry by the coroner, or more evidently conscientioue than the final opinion expressed by the body of jurymen. From all the circumstances of this case it must from the very out set have been apparent that no adequate precautions were taken to prevent the possibility of any such horrible and disastrous accident. Otherwise it could scarcely have occurred so slowly and deliberately. Warning of some sort must inevi tably have been given of the danger approached by the second train previously to its entrance into the fatal tunnel. From the peculiarity of the occurrence it has suggested itself to the minds of the jury that peril of the like kind might henceforth be very readily avoided by the affixing of eignals,.inveriably, at the mouth of every such excavation, and by attach ing lights in addition to this upon all occasions to the carriages. Had measures of this description been adopted upon the railway through Cheshire, the survivors of the unfortunate victims of the collision would not have had better cause for lamenting the untimely demise of their friends and relatives. The event referred to should con sequently be taken as a warning of an awfully im pressive character, enforcing upon all the railway companies of the United Kingdom the necessity of adopting the means specified for the avoidance of equally lamentable catastrophes. Considering the terrific power placed by science under the guidance of man in the steam-engine, it must, nevertheless, be , confessed that the marvel is rather that so few fatal accidents have occurred since the inauguration of the railway system than that the public has been oc casionally startled by their announcement. Those who have never chanced to be waiting on the platform of an intermediate station when an express train has roared past and disappeared in the distance can at all realize the extraordinary velocity with which the iron rails are daily traversed. Coupling with this the strange complication of the various lines upon any oneof the trunk railroads, and the seemingly inex tricable difficulty of shunting those lines one into an other, according to the passage of the various trains up and down, and in proportion to the lapse of time in the four-and-twenty hours, the wonder is that no more accidents have transpired than those recorded during the last quarter of a century upon the diurnal tablet of the. newspaper. Nevertheless, -while such may be the surprise experienced in the consideration of this matter by the uninitiated, those who are familiar with the general organization of the system of railways can understand the facilities placed in the way of the authorities for the prevention, under ordinary circumstances, of any really serious catastrophe. With the aid of their customary regulations, with a strict adherence to the hours of arrival and departure, with careful attention to the conduct of the different underlings intermediately situated between the principal termini, and with a sedulous regard to the repairs of the road and the efficiency of the engines employed in the traffic to and fro—there scarcely remains a possibility of any thing like a collision, or of an accident of any less terrible character. _ It consequently behoves the directors of the vari3us lines now in ope ration to look cautiously to each and all of the particulars above enumerated, so that in every instance the blame may attach rather to their servants than" to themselves. By this method the public interest would be effectually conserved, and additional reasons would be afforded for attention to their different duties among the officials employed upon the three thousand miles and upwards of railway new in active operation through out England. Rewards of .a more attractive kind than those hitherto extended to the servants of the various companies should be held out for the faithful discharge of duties of a very arduous and responsible description. Punishments in like manner of a more serious and practicable species, such, for example, as the degradation or discharge of the culpable, should be raised in terrorern over the heads of those entrusted with - the lives and deaths of their fellow-creatures, inciting them to the more punctilious discharge of duties so peculiarly onerous and important. By this method we feel satisfied that .IA 0 N D ON, the whole intricate system of railway management might ultimately be conducted with the precision and regularity of clockwork. • THE - Visrroas' LIST.--Thenks to the enterprise of one of our most indefatigable journalists, the editor not only of the Critic, but of the Journal of Me Exhibition, a fly sheet Ins just been issued from the press at a merely nominal! price, end of a singularly useful character. .Its title is that of our paragraph.

Besides this interesting catalogue of visitor, the paper comprises an admirable guide to the sights and amusements of the day, lucidly' arranged, and containing every particular of any in terest whatsoever. The Visitors' List will be found alto getbe. to be one of the most excellent publications yet offered to the foreigners arriving amongst us fur the purpose of witnessing the Exhibition. - REUNION DES ARTS.—Last night this Society opened' its :Second Soiree at the Private Rboms, 27, Queen Anne-street, with a crowded and most select company. We must give great credit to the comm.ttee for the good selection and arrangement of the !noble, which was most admirably ex cited by some of our beet vocal and instru mental artistes. Miss Rummel, Mies Magner, Madame L,maitre, Miss Lavinia, Miss Day, ltladame Gdfin, Mr. Day, Mr. Goodban, Herr Schiniiit, Herr Rummel, Herr Goftrie, Mr. Freuerick Chatterton, &c. The lower apart ments were ornamented with some fine pictures by English and foreign artists, and where, durirg the interval of the musical performance, the company retired to partake of some coffee provided for them by the committee, spending a most pleasant and social evening, which was prolonged to a late hour. ROMAN CATHOLIC HIERARCHT.—An addres3, to which 255,766 signatures were attached, and which was pre sented to her Majesty from her Majesty's Roman Catholic subjects in England, disclaiming any intention of trenching upon the royal prerogative in the recent appointment of a Roman Catholic hierarchy, has been printed by order of the House of Commons. ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION.—Amongst the recent deposits at this valuable establishment may be seen a machine for making nets, the invention of Mr. William Mullen, United States, which accomplishes that which not long since was deemed an impossibility, viz., tying a knot in the centre of two straight curds; and the knot formed by this arrangement, strange to say, is the same precisely as that made by the fishermen in ~h ich the needle is passed com pletely through the mesh. Certainly these triumphs of me chanical ingenuity lead us to wh...t so frequently appears in the present day, to believe that nothing is really impossible; for we find that which to-day seems absurd to attempt, to morrow is a mere commonplace. matter. We understand that by this contrivance wits of all kinds may be produced at a merely nominal advance upon the raw material as at pre sent procured. day WELSH LABOURER% 11. IRISH NAVVIES.-- One last week, a body of Irish navvies, numbering about forty or kitty, were enga ge d b y Mr. ITCormack, contractor, of Bir kenhead, to p roeeed to Bangor, for the purpose of excavat lug and f orm i ng a line of railway to connect that town with Carnarvon. The Irishmen were duly landed, and were making preparation s to commence their work, but the intel ligence soon spread among the Welsh stone-quarriers and others. The navvies were looked upon as a species of in vaders, and the Welshmen instantly assembled to the num ber of upwards of 200, surrounded the Irishmen, and with out a blow being struck, drove them in a mass on board a steamboat. The navvies seeing they had no chance against such overwhelming numbers, quietly submitted, and were landed in a few hours afterwards at this port. The Welsh men effected their purpose notwithstanding the remon strances of the Bangor magistrates. The expulsion of the Irishmen had the effect of suspending for a time the excava tion of tho railwitY...hiverpool Mercury. ~~ . TUESDAY .EVENING. MAY l3, 1851. LIE SHAKE MARKETS FIRITZSII RAILWAYS.

Senor Don Manuel Payno arrived in London on Sunday, and this afternoon sent to the Chairman of the Committee of Mexican Bondholders the original document executed in their favour for 2,500,000 dolls. out;of the American indemnity money. Senor Payno is instructed by his Government to do the needful for the punctual payment of the next dividend, and for the immediate issue of the new bonds. lie contra dicts the rumour of any intention on the part of Mexico to negotiate another . loan for 6,000,000 to 8,000,000 dolls., on the security of the revenue of the clergy, and says that up to the date of the departure of the last packet from Vera Cruz neither had such a loan been broached in Congress, nor bad the President received any authority to effect, or Senor Payno any instructions to negotiate one. At a meeting of the Committee of Spanish American Bond holders, held the 9th May, and specially called for the pur pose of considering the Buenos Ayrean debt, it was resolved unanimously " That this Committee, considering the period has un doubtedly arrived when the financial situation of Buenos Ayres enables her to resume the payment of the dividends in full on the English lean of Messrs. Baring, Brothers, and Co., and to enter into an equitable arrangement far its ar rears; and also aware that the Government of Buenos Ayres, under its distinguished President, General ROS.AS, is sincerely desirous to re-establish the financial credit of his country, to fulfil the sacred obligations of national faith, and to do full justice to the British bondholders, hereby appoint David Ro bertson, E,-q., and Joseph Tasker, Esq., members of their body, to act as a sub-committee in behalf of the Buenos Ayrean bondholders (the former gentleman as chairman), to take such steps as they may think fit and proper to effect a settlement of the same at the earliest possible period, in con junction with, and under the guidance of the Messrs. &triage." 'I he letters by the ste.tm-ship America have been delivered this morning. Bills of exchange on London were in request at 10 1 ,4 to 10% per cent. premium. Public Securities were drooping. About 7,688,000 dollars had exported from New York this year to the :i9th ult., being nearly as much as had arrived from Calitornio. Upon the subject of the import market it is stated—" The total value of dry goods put upon the market this week is 856,954 dolls., showing a falling off of 200,t95 dolls. compared with the week previous. The value of foreign dry goads put upon the market for the week ending the 2d April was 921,813 dolls. ; week ending 9th, 741,928 dolls. ; week ending 16th, 1,057,149 dolls.: total value for four weeks ending April 23d, 3,579,844 dolls. The importations are not large enough to create much remark, and will piobably continue through the season at about the same rate they are now coming in. Prices realised thus far this season have not been at all satisfactory, and large losses must be submitted to on stocks now on hand before the fall trade commences. The raw material for most manufactured articles is likely to be much cheaper than at present, and in that event, goods already in the market will stand a very poor chance of pay ing cost." The Wheat crop in Ohio and New York is spoken of as being particula-ly promising. The Canada advices notice the opening of the navigation, the merchant-ship Toronto having arrived out at Quebec on the 20th ult. This vessel left Liverpool on the 17th March, some days after the London vessel. Some attention has been excited by the proceedings at the Mansion-house yesterday, in connexion with the discharge of a gang of Dutch thieves, in whose possession a consider able amount of bonds was found. The desirability of an ex tradition treaty between England and Holland is clearly shown by the case in point. The English Funds have been rather flatter, and the set tlement of account is going off without difficulty. Consols have been 97 to 97 for Transfer, and 97 1 4 for the 10th of June. Bank Stock is worth 211, a slight improvement. Exchequer -bills have been quoted 495. to 525. and India Bonds 535. to 545. prem. The New Three-aad-a• Quarter per Cents. have been 97% to 98. Foreign Securities have been rather heavy. Spanish Fire per Cents. have - been marked 197 8 , and the Passive 5%, being very firm. Portuguese Four per Cents. have been 33%. Brazilian small Stock has realised 89 to 90. The quotation of Mexi can B on d s continues at 35% 14 . Russian Four-and- a-lialf per Cents. have been 99 to par, and Dutch Four per Cents. 89 %. Danish Bonds are 102; , , to 103. There is to be a meeting on Thursday of parties interested in the French railways, for which concessions were formerly granted, but which, owing to the political dificulies among our neighbours, could never be made available. The " caution money" remains in the hands of the French Go vernment, and as new parties are tendering to make the lines, it is feared the amount may be confiscated. To come, there fore, to some arrangement in this respect is the object of the parties interested. Tne Railway Share Market has not been so depressed as during the la•rt day or two, but no sensible improvement can be noted, and the business doing is very contracted. Good traffic returns would soon give a tone to prices. TlLL—Former rates have been barely maintained, but very little hes been done. List week's deliveries were good. CORTON.—This article has been dull at about previous rates. CHANCERY..-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHANCELLOR.) IN RE SPARROW. ThisTpatition, opened on Saturday, was again resumed this morning.

Heap, who in the year 1845 died intestate, leaving a widow and several more col lateral descendants. From the affidavits it appeared that in the month of October of the same year a voluntary agree ment was executed by all parties to share the estate of the deceit:ad Win. Heap equally among themselves. In 1848, however, another agreement was executed by all the parties except the plaintiff, by which the general estate was made liable to certain mortgages, and the title deeds handed over to the mortgagees. The plaintiff now prayed to have the original deed carried into effect, and declared valid as regarded the mortgagees.

'XCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco.) THE DUNE OP BUCKINGHAM AND CIANDOS V. THE COM MISSIONERS OF INLAND REVINUE. The LORD CHIEF BARON delivered judgment in this case, which came before the Court on an appeal under the Stamp Act, against the decision of the Commissioners of Inland Revenue, who had required thst a stamp to the value of 1,000/. should be placed on a deed of settlement made between the Duke of Buckingham and Chandos and other parties, and bearing date the 27th of May, 1847. This deed was in substance a conveyance during the Duke's lifetime of his interest in cer tain large estates, subject to certain mortgages, an nuities, and other charges, for th e purpose of rais ing the sum of 1,600,0001. The Commissioners were of opinion, though no sum was mentioned in the deed, yet that it ought to be stamped with an ad valorem stamp. The Court were now of opinion that the deter mination of the Commissioners was wrong. It was a well established rule in the construction of revenue Acts, that a duty could not be imposed except by the clear and express words of the statute, and the Court considered that the t erms of this particular Act of Parliament did not bear out the construction which the Commissioners had placed on them. There was no purchase or consideration money expressed in the deed, and the transaction could not be treated as a sale. The Court were satisfied that the Crown had not made out a right to charge an ad valorem duty on the deed, and there fore judgment must be for the appellant. Judgment for the appellant accordingly. TB! VAUXHALL-BRIDGE COMPANY V. SAWYER.—JUDGMENT. The LORD CHIEF BARON yesterday delivered the judgment of the Court in this cese, which was a special case directed for the opinion of their Lord hips by an order of Mr. Baron Alderson. The question to he eeternoined upon the state of facts set out in the raze was, whether the Vauxhall-bridge Company were liable to be rated to the land-tax in respect of the tolls which they collected on their bridge. It appeared that the company were incorporated under the Act of the 49th George 111., c. 142, which gave them the power to pur chase land and to form the approaches to the bridge, and to take tolls for passengers and goods traffic. The Court were of opinion, however, that the first section of the second Act expressly showed an intention on the part of the Legislature that this deE.eription of property should be subject to the tax, and the company must be held liable to pay it in respect of the tolls they collected, as coining under the denomination of an " heredit ament." Judgment for the defendant accordingly. CRIMINAL COURT.-(THIS DAY OLD COURT. (Beti.re the RECORDER.)

THE SOCIETY OF INTERPEETERS.—IIIIPORTAIST DECISION. —A Frenchman named Corquia, reAding at No. 31, Lisle street, Sonu, was summoned before Mr. Hardwick for using threatening and abusive language towards Mr. C. Benzoni, 17, Duke-street, St. James's, late secretary to the Society of Interpreters. Mr. Fisher, from the office of Mr. Dod, 16, Great Marl borough-street, appeared fur the complainant, and stated that this was a summons granted by Mr. Bingham for an assault. Complainant had, however, no desire to press the charge; the object was merely to protect him from the an noyances to which he was frequently subjected. Mr. Ben zoni had been secretary to a society called the Society of In terpreters ' • he had exerted himself most successfully in its for mation, and had aevoted much time and great attention to its interests, but owing to the conduct ofcertain parties Mr.Benzoni had recently resigned the office, his resignation had been duiy announced, and his solicitor bad, on his behalf; signified his readiness to render his accounts, which would show the so ciety indebted to him in a small balance. An impression, however, had been created (most erroneously) that Mr. Benzoni was indebted to the society, and in consequence the complaiimit had been continually annoyed by the c , efendant and other members, demanding of hint in no very courteous tents the return of their subscriptions. Mr. Benzoni had been sued in the County Court by one of the members, and it had been there decided that he was in no way liable; but the defendant and others, dissatisfied and not duly impressed with the non-liability of complainant, were disposed to in sult him on all occasions. Mr. Fisher said he was desirous only That defendant should enter into his own recognizance not to repeat the insult and threat he had been guilty of. Mr. BARIMVICIC said he must do so. The defendant said, as far as he was concerned he would; but there were 85 members who would still insult the com plainant whenever they met him. Mr. HARDWICS said, if they did the whole 85 must go to prison. If the complainant was indebted to the society there was a proper course to pursue to bring him to an ac count. Mr. Hardwick then bound the defendant over in 401. to keep the peace for three months. Montague Gabriel Newton, a young gentleman residing at 33, Woburn-place, Russell-square, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at Mr. Genese's, 126, Jerrnyn-street.

Witness requested him to leave the house, and on his refusing to do so, he sent fur a constable and gave him in charge. The defendant stoutly denied the charge, and could, if time wasallowed him, bring forward witnesses to prove that he was quite sober. Lester, 143 C, proved that the defendant was very drunk when he took him in charge. The defendant was fined the usual drunkard's fine of ss. A CAPTAIN IN THE GUARDS COMMITTED TO THE HOUSE oF CORRECTIoN.—Captain Paulet_Henry Somerset, of the Coldstream Guards, was yesterday committed by Mr. Hardwick, the Marlborough-street magistrate, for ten days to the House 01 Correction, for having horsewhipped Police constable Griffin, while stationed at the Great Exhibition. The prisoner, who was driving a phaeton and pair, violated the regulations is,ued by the Police Commissioners with re gard to carriages, and when remonstrated with by Griffin, struck the officer several times acros' the face with his whip, so violently as to draw blood, and then drove off at a rapid pace, but was'afterwards stopped. His excuse was that he had not been treated with that civility that a gentleman had a right to expect. The gallant Captain seemed in a orate of most uncomfortable bewilderment as he was led off to the lock-up cell.

A large pattY assembled to meet the Prince. The usual ceremonies having been observed, Sir H. DE LA RECIIE, in the name of the officers of (h. Institution, addressed the Prince. His ROYAL HIGHNESS replied in the following terms thanking you for the address which you have just read t? me, 1 would also e xpress t h e s i ncere gratification wi , h which I witness the opening, in a form most likely to make it generally and practicaly useful, of an institution the progreta of which I have long watched with much interest, and tke want of which has long been felt in this country. I rejelee in the proof thus afforded of the general and still incressiDE interest taken in scientific pursuits; while Science herself, by the subdivision into the various and distinct fields of bet: study, aims daily more and more at the attainment of useftul and practical results. In this view it is impossible to esti. mate too highly the advantages to be derived from an instil' tution like this, intended to direct the researches of science, and to apply their results to the development of the immensa mineral riches granted by the bounty of Providence to our isles and their numerous colonial dependencies. It will always give me the greatest pleasure to hear of, and, as tar as 1 am able, to contribute to the continued success of the Museum of Practical Geology." His Royal Highness shortly afterwards left the building and the proceedings terminated. NEW CHURCH IN KENSINGTON.--A new aura, to be called Christ Church, is in course of erection at the south, west end of the p ar i s h o f Kensington.

An ecc l es ia s tical_ district has been a s s i gne d t o i t , and i t w ill b e i n ad respe ct! adapted to parochial purposes. The church will be erected at a cost of about 3,0001., mast of which has been raised by voluntary subscriptions and grants. SIR JOHN BARROW'S MONUMENT.--Tbe restora tion of this beautitul tower, which was struck by lightning in January last, is now nearly completed.

Wh a tever may be' the Mediation which has l e d t o this melancholy defection in a corps where once a truly military spirit alone existed, Lieutenant-Colonel Napier and the officers of the Cape - Mounted Rifles have exerted themselves to the utaloat to avert it; their conduct upon all occasions is of the highest order, whether in the field before an enemy, or in quarters; and truly does the Commander-in-Chief; as well as every British officer and soldier in this command, sympathize in their naturally wounded feelings. Lieutenant-Colonel Napier and the officers of this detachment may teat assured this eX•-• pression of approbation of their services will be submitted to his Grace the Duke of Wellington, the Comm ander in" Chief. -- A.
