The Roman Journal of the 12th instant contains • the following : " In the evening of the 10th the Pope proceeded from the Cathedral of Velletri to the Palace of the Legation, which had been magnificently fitted out by Cardinal Macchi, the Bishop and Legate, for the reception of his illustrious guest. The square being occupied by an immense multitude of people, his Holiness placed himself at a balcony and bestowed his benediction on the assistants, who received it with the live liest acclamations. The Pope was met at Velletri by General Baraguay d'Hilliers, who had repaired thither to present him his homage. In the course of the even ing the Holy Father received a number of deputations and personages of the town and province, and several persons who had arrived from Rome, amongst whom were the Prince of Palestrina, commander of the Noble Guards, and Prince Altieri, captain in the same corps. Until we can publish the particulars of the reception experienced by the Pope in the different localities which he traversed, we are happy to inform those who doubled the spirit that animated the people that that spirit has undergone no alteration, that it is eminently Pontifical, and that the factious or deluded individuals were very few com pared with the immense majority of the faithful. The French arid Roman troops lino the squares and streets leading from the Church of Lateran to the Va tican. The edifices and houses are tastefully deco rated. The people are running wherever they hope the Better to see and greet the Holy Father, their august Sovereign. Illuminations are everywhere preparing. • Half-past 4 r.m —His Holiness our Lord Pope Pius IX. has happily entered Rome, at 4 o'clock, amidst the acclamations and exaltations of the Romans and fo reigners, who thronged the great square of Lateran."

He un derstood no opposition would be offered to it, but an opportunity would be afforded to Members, previous to going into Committee, to snake any representations on the subject of the measure. VACANT DEANERY OF BRISTOL. In reply to Mr. S. HERBERT, Lord J. RUSSELL said it was not his intention to bring in a measure to prevent the deanery of Bristol, which had become vacant by the death of Dr. Lamb, being conferred upon a master of a college. IRISH SPIRITS. Colonel CHATTERTON asked the Chancellor of the. Exchequer if he had any intention to make un altera tion in those regulations of the Board of Inland Revenue (Ireland) by which Irish•made spirits were charged duty, not on the quantity delivered out of bond, but on the quantity originally put into store? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER re plied that he had no such intention. SAVINUS' BANKS AND STAMP DUTIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER then stated that he intended, on this day week, to move for leave to bring in a Bill for the future regulation of savings'::banks. It would be necessary, in order that no misunderstanding might exist, to make an explanatory statement to the House, and he would deliver that statement before the other orders of the day on Thursday. With respect to the Stamp Duties Bill the Right Hon. Gentleman stated that he bad received repre sentations from several railway companies, that the duty of a half per cent. upon bonds and mortgages would greatly injure them, and he therefore proposed to reluce the, duty' to one quarter. It appeared that the graduated scale was now reversed. The proposal he made applied to all borrowers (with the exception of two classed) up to 3,200/. ; beyond that there would be some increase in the amount of duty paid. He intended to abide by the vote of the House that there should be a shilling duty on sums under 50/. ; and he proposed from 2001. to carry that quarter per cent. up to 100,0004 and there it would stop. Mr. HUME said he understood, on the whole, there would be a loss on the present scale. He holed the Chancellor of the Exchequer would reconsider his plan, and not stop at 100,0001., because it would not be doing justice to minor interests. THE INDIANS AT HUDSON'S BAY. Mr. CHRISTY asked if the attention of the Govern ment bad been called to a paragraph in the newspapers with reference to a complaint by the Government of the United States against the Hudson's Bay Company as to the supply of a large quantity of spirits to the native Indians? • Lord PALMERSTON said it had the kndw ledge of the Government- that: the. United States ‘Go vernment had complained that the Hudson's Bay Com pany supplied the Indians with spirits as an article of commerce. That representation had been referred back to the Hudson's Bay Company, and their reply was that the agents of the company did not supply spirits Ito the Indians in any way as an article of commerce, but that a very small portion had been given to the hunters when they came to the settlement which he (Lord Palmerston) might say, was " drunk on the prernises."—(Laughter.) EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) BREACIi OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE.-ADAMS V. GIBES. This case was tried before the Lord Chief Justice Wilde at the last assizes at Maidstone ' and a verdict was found for the plaintiff—damages 8001. Mr. Sergeant SHER now moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict should not be set aside, and a new trial had, on the ground of misdirection, and of the damages being excessive. This was an action for a breach of promise of marriage. The defendant pleaded that he did not promise; that the plaintiff was not ready and willing to marry him; that he had no notice of her readiness or willingness; that the plaintiff did not request the defendant to marry her; that a reasonable time had not elapsed after the promise, and that the plaintiff was afflicted with a certain incurable disease called consumption, of which the defendant had no knowledge at the time he made the promise, but was afterwards informed of it. The plaintiff was a young woman about 24 years of age, and was the daughter of a farmer. The defendant was a farmer and a hop grower, residing in the immddiate neighbourhood of the farm occupied by the plaintiff's father, and was 49 or 50 years old. These two farms belonged to the same landlord (Lord Gainsborough), and were about three or four miles apart. It was not proved that the defendant was possessed of any property beyond the interest which he had in the farm. It appeared that there had been some intimacy between the de fendant and the plaintiff's family for a considerable time previous to the month ef September, 1848, but it was not till that month that the defendant made a proposal to the young :lady, and was accepted. The father was called at the trial, and he stated that the de fendant informed him on the following day of what had occurred, and that he had consented. No correspondence had passed between the parties, but it was shown that the defendant had his house newly furnished, and had his initials and those of his intended wife engraved on the plate which was presented to him by his friends, and had gone the length ef fixing an early day, viz., the 16th of Dec., for their marriage. It was arranged that the marriage should take place in London, and accordingly the defendant went to town and stayed the tecessary time to admit of his getting a ,licence. In the meantime, however, he was requested to attend an appointment of the solicitors of the plaintiff's family, on the 14th of Dec., for the purpose of making I, some arrangements respecting the marriage settlement. I It was proved that the plaintiff did go down as far as Reigate, but it seemed a change came suddenly over his mind, for he returned back to London, and went on a voyage to America, and was not seen or heard of until six months afterwards. There was evidence also to show that he had actually obtained 1 the licence, and had ordered the wedding break fast at Morley's Hotel, Trafalgar-squure, and from the date of the proposal until his sudden dis appearance he bad conducted himself in ,every way like a man who fairly and honourably intended to fulfil his promise. He (Mr. Sergeant Shee) was instructed to state that the defendant had not the slightest wish to cast any imputation on the young lady or her family, and his sole defence was, that the short interval which elapsed between the proposal and the disappointment, had brought to his knowledge matters welch showed that she was in a state cf health which would render it not only impru dent and unjust to contract marriage as far as he was concerned, but also as regarded the plaintiff, and any 'ehildredtvhieh might be born: Arid the naisdirection whipts he (Mr. Sergeant Shee) had to'cornplain'of, w 1 that the Learned Judge told the jury that there was no evidence to prove the plea alleging consumption. The evi dence which he submitted substantiated the plea, which was as follows :—ln 1846 the friends of the young lady consulted Dr. Taylor, an eminent physician at Maidstone, respecting her complaint, Her lather had then lost two daughters of consumption, one aged 20 and the other 22, ho had a son who was killed by accident on board a ship while on a voyage to a warmer climate, where he had been recom mended to go in conscquence of his medical advisers apprehending consumption. It appeared that the plaintiff was staying at Hastings from autumn, 1846, to May, 1846, and while there, suffered gr( atly from debility and was subject to fainting fits, and was only able to take exercise to a very slight extent. It ap• peered further, that she was in the habit of taking quan tities of cod liver oil, which was generally prescribed for consumptive persons. The CHIEF BARON could not think that these facts went to prove that the plaintiff was suffering from con sumption. There was a great difference of opinion among parties, even supposing her complaint to have any existence, whether or not a man could under such circumstances be liberated from his promise. Mr. Sergeant SHER said it was clear that she would be unable properly to discharge the duties of a wife while afflicted with such a complaint. Besides the de- fendant was old enough to be her father, and it was his duty t) see that he did not inflict distress upon others as well as himself. To marry and have children which, on arriving at 12 or 15, were carried to the grave, was about the most selfish and immoral thing a man could do, especially when he knew his bride's health u as likely to produce such a state ef things. Mr. Baron PARKE said a man must take his chance, and if he chose to break his promise, he must be held liable for the injury to which he had given rise. Mr Sergeant SHEE said there was surely an implied condition when a promise was made that the parties were fit fir the married state. A man or a woman had no right to bring children into the world afflicted with an incurable disease. The CHIEF BARON intimated tha►t the Court was of opinion that the plea had not been sufficiently proved to grant a rule upon that point. Mr. Sergeant SHEE then moved on the point of da mages, stating that tha defendant depended entirely upon his firm for subsistence, and was not worth 7,0001.. as had been erroneously stated. He vt ai willing to give the plaintiff 500/. but Mt. he thought was more than she was entitled to. The plaintiff could not have sustained much damage, for what advantage would a young woman have by marrying a man of fifty? He (Mr Serjeant Shee) considered she was much better without him.—(Laughter.) • The CHIEF BARON—IL is very well for you, who are under fifty, to say so.—(Laughter.)—We will consult Mr. Justice Wilde before we give our decision.

I.The majority of our readers are probably already aware of the defeat experienced by her Majesty's Ministers, on Monday evening, on the question of the Stamp Bill brought forward by the Chan cellor of the Exchequer. We understand that during the interval since that event Sir Charles Wood has reconstructed his scale in order to meet the new circumstances of the case, and that some thirty or forty of the Liberal Members who sit on the Ministerial side of the House and voted against the Right Honourable Gentleman's first proposition have now resolved to support the scheme as amended. It may, therefore, be anticipated that Sir Charles will on Thursday evening be enabled to carry his measure against all the efforts of the Protectionist party; and that the following scale will ultimately form the text of the Government Bill on its final passage through the House ; namely, £5O ••• ls. Od. £7l • • .. 2s. 6d. X 100:... ••• 4s. Od. ••• 1:125 ••• ... ss. 6d. •.• £l5O ... ••• ... 7s. Od. f 175 • Bs. 6d. •• whilst from 2001. up to 100,0001. the duty will be one quarter per cent. It is regarded that concession is necessary in order to approach to something like an ad valorem duty ; and whist transactions above 100,0001. are so few that the loss to the revenue will be of little moment, the reduction on stamps of more insignificant amount will prove of most material importance to the public. It is, therefore, proposed that the highest charge on the superior description of stamps shall be 250/.—Lieerpoot Albion of this day. 'THE SUN, VANCOUVER'S ISLAND. Mr. HUME asked whether the Noble Lord at the head of the Government, bad any objection to lay on the table of the House, a report of what proceedings had taken place respecting Vancouver's Island.? Lord JOHN RUSSELL said he would inquire if there were any papers on the subject, and if so, he would lay them on the table. The Earl of ARUNDEL and SURREY said he had that morning received a letter from the Hon. Member for the West Riding, correcting a statement which had appeared in a report of his (the Earl of Arundel's) speech on the Hon. Member for Oldham's Education Bill. Ile had been repotted to have said that Mr. Froude bad been appointed to the presidency cf the new Manchester college, whereas it appeared from the Hon. Member's letter that the college was not yet formed, nor bad any appointment yet been mad.. ECCLESIASTICAL COMMISSION BILL. Mr. HORSMAN wanted to know if he had under stood the Noble Lord at the head of the Government that he would proceed with the Ecclesiastical Commission Bill on Friday ? Lord J. RUSSELL said be intended to go through the Australian Colonies Bill in Committee before he could speak with any certainty. Mr. DISRAELI said he wished to notice the statement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, that he did not expect there would be any discussion on his mo tion for next week, and he wished to state that he thought it very probable, considering the interest with which the subject was regarded out of doors, and the unfortunate. delay which had taken place, that the sub ject would be passed over without any discussion. ADULTERATION OF COFFEE. Mr. ANSTEY gave notice that on an a arty day he should move for papers in continuation on the adultera tion of coffee. AUSTRALIAN COLONIES BILL. The House then went into Committee on the Austra lia❑ Colonies Bill. On clause 7, Mr. V. SMITH said that, at the risk of exciting laughter, he must say that they were going on much too fast with this Bill. The last clause had been agreed to with very little deliberation, especially the last part of It. As regarded the New South Wales Bill, its history could not be too frequently told, as it did not appear to be very well understood. Now that; Bill was more a make•shift than a piece of legislation. From 1788 to 1823, the Colony was treated more like a prison-house than anything else, and so illegally did the House act towards it that in the yeav 1823 the Government was compelled to bring in an Act'of In demnity, and from that year up to 1839 the House was engaged in discussing how they should deal with the colony. In 1840 the Noble Lord at the head of the Government brought in the Bill under which the Government of the' colony at present existed. It was proposed to continue the - operation of that Bill for ten years, and now that the period had elapsed, it was high time that they extended to all the Australian colonies similar institutions that, were enjoyed by our North American colonies. They npw however, proposed to leave the colonies to shift for themselves, but when he looked at the vast amount of emigration which had recently been carried on with our AUstralian colonies, he thought it was too bad to deprive them of the advice of the mother-country. Besides it was proposed to leave the matter to be settled by the As eembly. Now, the Assembly did not represent a third of the colonists, and he doubted much whether the decision would be satisfactorily unless some change was made in its constitution. He had the authority of 23 different members of the assembly in New South Wales, for saying that there was no objection in the colony to th• admission of the "squatting " interest, which was composed of a most in fluential, intelligent, and respectable body of persons. He thought the House ought to con sider whether it would not be advisable to admit this large class into the new assembly, and make to th t e he s c e o tt n le st m it e u n ti t on of o ' f w t h h i i c s h i them to have a voice in the decision of those important divergequestion i s n , important e colony.r w a r ds to m w p a o s rta a n f Mr. HAWES said the Bill had beeen introduced with an intention of leaving the existing constitution of New South Wales as near as possible, if not exactly, in the same state in which it now stood. It was possible that various improvements might be suggested in the Bill, but the express wish of the colonists was that it should not vary from the old New South Wales Act. His Right Hon. Friend (Sir Vernon Smith) said a promise was held out when the Bill was intro duced that the colony should have representative institutions formed on the same basis as those of other countries, and it was with that view the Bill now before the House had been proposed. He fully admitted the importance of extending the quali fication the squatting interest. Ia the Legislature of New South Wales the popular members were as two to one to the others: and they were able enough to bring about any reform they wished. That being so, the Government wished those matters to be as much as possible effected by the colonists themselves. For these reasons, therefore, he would far rather see that question diseussed and the measure originated in the colonies. given a constituent assembly which could Mr. ADDERLEY said the Government h o b t ad po c s le s a ih rl ly y represent the feelings of the community. Mr. WYLD said he could very w ell imagine the con stitution proposed by the Government might suit th e colopy of New South W a l es or Victoria, but hera they ware legislating for a colony which was at this moment exporting a large amount of convicts. liithe year 1842 Van Diemen's Land, to some extent had been in a state of prosperity, because they had almost altogether ceased to send convicts there, but since that time the tide of transpoi tation had flown in there with renewed strength; and since that time the free po pulation, he understood, were leaving the settlement with all the speed in their power. He did not think that the present Bill gave sufficient control over the convict po pulation to the Government, and what he proposed to do was to enable her Majesty and her successors to name an executive council consisting of the Chief Justice, the Colonial Secretary, the Colonial Treasurer, and the Police Magistrate, to exercise control over the convict population. the Hon. Member concluded by moving a resolution to that effect as au amendment on clause 7. After a few words from Mr. MO WATT, Mr. LABOUCHERE said he hoped the lion. Member would not at present persist in his amendment. Clause 7 was one which certainly ought to stand. Mr. W. MOLES WORTH said that the Under-Secrt - t rry for the Colonies had nor yet answered the ques tion which had been put to him by the Hon. Member fur Nortarnpton. (LEFT SITTING.) ST.

On Tuesday, April 16, William Cubitt, President, in the chair, the discussion upon Mr. Chubb's paper, "On Locks and Keys," was renewed, and extended to such a length as to preclude the reading of any paper. Several locks, which had not been previously mentioned, were exhibited, and their peculiarities of construction were described. These lalre the names of their inventors—Davis, Parsons, Williams, and Nettlefold. It was urged, that the curtain which had been mentioned, might be essential for Summerford s lock, but could not be, in any degree, useful in Chubb's lock; in fact, that its only effect would be to induce complication and augment the cost, without in creasing the security. Among numerous instances of ingenious devices for opening locks, that stated to have been tried in America, excited much attention. The process was described to be, that the operator, after inserting two pieces of India rubber, to limit the sphere of action, injected from a force pump, a composition of glue and molasses, in a heated state, which chilled quickly, and although extremely elastic, had the property of retaining the form and position of the lower side, or bellies of the tumblers, and that after being cut out of the lock, by a thin- bladed instrument, a key could be made from the impression. In explanation of this, however, it was shown, that in Chubb's lock there existed no similarity be tween the position of the bellies of the tumblers, when at rest, and the figure of the bit of the key; and, therefore, that even supposing it to be possible to obtain an accurate impression of the position of the bellies of the tumblers, when at rest, no indication would be afforded of the combination, or any assist ance be given for making a false key. In further confirmation of this, a lock by Chubb was shown, in which, when at rest, the bellies of the tumblers were perfectly uniform, and in the same plane, so that an impression of the inside of such a lock must be utterly useless for any purpose. Although it had been asserted that Chubb's locks had been picked, it was admitted that it had never proved that those locks had really been made by the inventor; but, on the other hand, it had fre quently been shown that spurious imitations of the first expired patent had been sold in large quantities, and had been marked " Chubb's Patent," until the makers were stopped by legal process, when it was ruled, both at law and equity, that, although after the expiration of a patent, any person might manufacture the article, he had no right to pirate a peculiar trade mark, or to use a distinctive stamp, which was ir respective of any patent right. The locks used at Pentonville Prison were in stanced as uniting goodness and safety with extreme cheapness ; but it was admitted that the workman ship was very inferior to that of Chubb's locks. It was also asserted that Davis's locks, invariably used on the Cabinet dispatch•boxes, which frequently contained important secret papers, were never found to be out of order, or to be susceptible of being picked. To this it was replied that Mr. Chubb was pre pared to produce a workman who, without having ever previously seen the locks on the Cabinet dis patch-boxes, would open any number on being allowed half-an-hour for each ; and that the same might be done more easily with the Pentonville Prison locks. In summing up the discussion, it was stated to be the duty of the institution to express the conviction of a veritable Chubb's lock never having been picked either in Great Britain or on the other side of ;the Atlantic ; that it did, in fact, combine that strength, simplicity, and security, without which the most ingenious locks were utterly use less; that it possessed the merit, in the pro duction, of never, through fear of competition, having reduced the quality of the workmanship to meet a reduced price, and that, by a due consideration of the workmen employed in the manufacture, the men had been taught to be as jealous of their master's reputation for good work, as he could be of himself, and that thus the merited reputation of the work had been, and was still, maintained. The meeting was adjourned until Tuesday evening, April 23d, when the following papers would be read : —" Description of the Insistent Pontoon Bridge, executed at the Dublin Terminus, of the Midland Great Western Railway of Ireland," by Mr. R. Mil let, M. Inst. C. E. ; and "Description of a Wrought iron Lattice Bridge, erected over the line of the Rugby and Leamington Railway," by Mr. W. T. Doyne, Assoc. Inst. C. E. DETERMINED SUICIDE.-0a SaturJay afternoon Mr. Bedford, the coroner, concluded an inquiry which had previously been adjourned, at the Malpas Arms, Charles street, Grosvenor-square, respecting the death of Susan White, a single woman, aged 32 years, who committed suicide in Lady Vernon's mansion, No. 5, Upper Belgrave street, Belgrave-square. The deceased had only been live days in her Ladyship's service as cook, having previously tilled a similar situation in the establishment of Lady Nor manby. The deceased was found in her room on Tuesday morning last, with a rope round her neck, the end of which she held in her hand. She had died from strangulation, and the decease had also inflicted two incised wounds upon her throat and ono upon ,her right arm with a common kitchen knife, which was found lying by her side. Several of the deceased's relatives were examined, but were unable to ac count for the deceased committing the rash act. ,During the last three weeks she had complained of pains in her head, and she had also appeared very low and desponding.

Van Diernan's Land. - 100 0 o 29 0 0 - 1 UNIVERSITY FOR NEW SOUTH WALES.-The crea- tion of a University for New South Wales is a striking ex pression of the rapid development of the history of a colony founded in times comparatively recent, with the worst mate rials of civilization grafted on the lowest forms of barbarism i existing on the earth. The newinstitution is to be at Syd ney ; and a sum of :'.0,000/. has been, it is Said, voted for the building, and 5,0001. for its fittings-up. It will contain at first chairs of the classical languages, mathematics, chemis try, natural history, natural philosophy, nieelanics, physio logy, and the medical sciences; and professorships of history, philosophy, and political economy are to be hereafter added. There is to be no faculty of theology, and, as we understand it, no religious tests. Such provision is made for the pro bable comparative unproductiveness of the field in its new ness as it is hoped may tempt professors of eminence to be candidates for the chairs. The professor of classics will be rector of the university, with an endowment of SOOL a year. The appointments of the other professors will range from 300/. to 400/. a year; and to each will be given 1001 a year for lodging unt it rooms shall be ready for his residence in the projected building. Professors coining from Europe will have 100/. each towards the expenses of the voyage.— A thenceu rn. COLLIERS' STRIKE.—The colliers employed by Messrs. Johnson at their colliery at Lafrock, near St. Helen's to the number of upwards of '2OO, have turned out, because the proprietors have reeently appointed a person named Smith as manager or under viewer of the mines, who is dis liked by the men. The colliers engaged at the extensive works of Mr. Mackay, at Upholland, have been upon strike for several weeks past. Upwards of 100 colliers have turned out from the collieries at Rainford, on account of a dispute about wages. There have been several large and riotous meetings held on Smithy-brow, to which the colliers had been summoned by the beating of tin cans, &c. Stones have been thrown at various parties who decline leaving their work. Several of the ringleaders have been brought before the magistrate, who has ordered them to find bail for their future good behaviour.
