E'VYN, Esq., M.P., from the Original 3IS. in the Library at Wottonr Edited with Notes by the Rev. R. M. EVAN SON, B.A. " We aredieposed to rate the value of this learned, pious, and most able treatise above that of any other of the author's works. In it Evelyn anticipates all the arguments of Butler, Warburton, Water land, Paley, and Magee. As an epitome of all the later arguments against the infidelity of the seventeenth and eighteenth century, the History of Religion is indeed invaluable."—Standard.

At length in the sixth month of the session, the Marriage Bill has received a third reading in the House of Commons. All the old arguments, that have already been repeated usque ad nauseam, were again brought forward, and a further attempt was made to throw out this just and salutary measure in the last stage of its progress. But the effort failed—signally and decisively failed. Although the advocates of the Bill did not exhibit the same zeal and energy displayed by their opponents, there was happily a sufficient attendance to defeat the bigots who desired to control the consciences of their fellow-subjects, and to deprive them of the most sacred and dearest privilege belonging to freemen. The Hon. Member for Midhurst led the van on the present occasion. He repeated the hackneyed and stereo t3 ped objections, and again plunged the House into the maze of polemical discussion. We had hoped that what has been termed " the religious part of the question " 'had been abandoned by general consent, that we should have heard no more respecting a matter so perfectly plain, that it is difficult to con ceive how any person of ordinary common sense could have entertained a rational doubt on the sub ject. Mr. WaLeoLE has, however, discovered a new reading of the translation—that the word OiZE10;, in the Greek translation, meant not merely kin dred or relations, but " members of the same household or family." And on this novel version —the translation of a translation—he mainly relied. But if this argument be worth anything, if the slightest weight is to be attached thereto, it must surely be carried a great deal farther, and to an ex tent never yet contended for. It must apply to every person who ever dwelt under the same roof as companion, friend, housekeeper, governess, or in any other capacity whatsoever, although not in any degree connected by blood or affinity. The weakness of the cause may be judged of from the fact, that a man of education and ability, who has risen to emi nence in his profession, should have descended to an argument so puerile and ridiculous. The Hon. and Gallant Colonel, the Member for Bradford, completely dispelled the mystification attempted to be thrown over this part of the subject by showing the true in-. tent and meaning of the passage, that " for the sake of peace the polygamic laws prohibited a man from having two sisters as his wives in his house at once." But Mr. WALPOLE, conscious of the slender foun dation on which he rested his case, endeavoured to show that the prohibitionists should receive the " benefit of the doubt." This might be a very reason able suggestion if the Bill were for the purpose of en forcing such marriages, and compelling a reluctant widower to marry the eldest surviving sister of his former wife under a heavy penalty—just as a childless widow might, under the Mosaic law, have required the t iter o f her former husband to receive her as a wife. la eh r 3 rioft , the case. There is to be 'ono coninulsion Of an . kind, N o person who feels the rilslightest scruple oa e called upon to act contrary The only po i nt i n dispute is to his oyrtrjallghae4l ', , whether pnaoo , A rher htertain no doubt or difficulty - w b oto i veri : ow :, tin t the temporal and eternal 1 r Welfar4 of: ensq Wes and families ti , will be beat pro- , ' moted by such an union, are to be restricted and cir: cumscribed in their liberty of choice, in the privilege of selecting the future partners of their lives, to gratify the ridiculous fancies of a b'gotted and fanatical clique. The question, as we have long since stated, is essentially one of " civil and religious liberty," and the very argument resorted to by Mr. IVALPous affords the strongest evidence of this fact, which we have endeavoured to impress upon our readers ; for if everything were to be pro hibited on which some who profess to have what are termed tender consciences were pleased to entertain, or to say that they entertained, a doubt, there would be an end of any degree of toleration. The tyrant majority, or what is more to the purpose in the present instance, the factious and turbulent minority would carry all before them, and inflict grievous punishments on all who ventured to wor ship their CREATOR in the manner which, in their souls and consciences, they deemed most fitting. But, although the Bill was read a third time, it was not finally carried through the House. A clause was proposed, providing that it should not extend to Scot land. This point had already been fully discussed in Committee, and the proposed limitation was deliberately negatived; but it was again brought forward, and with a similar result. The " Obstructives," how ever, succeeded in retarding the measure for another day. It must again be brought on next week, on the question that the Bill do now pass ; and its friends must once again attend in their places to ensure its final success in the popular branch of the Legislature. It will then be for the Peers of England to decide the question ; we cannot doubt as to the result, or suppose that their Lordships would reject a Bill on which the hearts of so many thousands, aye millions, of her MAJESTY'S subjects are anxiously set. One thing at least is certain, the opposition in the Lords will be of a straightforward and bona fide character• If defeated on a fair trial of strength, the minority will not resort to the " dodging and trickery," to the vexatious delays and repeated divisions on the same points, so justly to be complained of in the minority of the Commons House of Parliament on this impor tant and deeply interesting question. Our impression this evening contains elsewhere the report of a meeting held yesterday in this metropolis, with an eye to the acknowledgment of the great public exertions made in the way of sanitary im provement by Mr. GEORGE ALFRED WALKER. To few members (df the community are the people of England more largely indebted than to this gentle man, whether in regard to intellectual ap plication, to physical labour, or to pecu niary sacrifices in the advancement of a great social reform_ materially affecting the health and morals of the community. Hence it was with peculiar satisfaction that we observed the initial move• went of yesterday towards the recognition of the efforts of this really national benefactor. The Noble Lord, the representative of the borough of Maryle bone, has only afforded another testimony of his public spirit by taking the lead in this laudable endeavour to commend the beneficient undertakings of Mr. WALKER. As chairman of the meeting to which we are now directing public attention, he yesterday specified in terms of the most earnest, as they were also the most deserved, eulogium the nature of the enterprise upon which Mr. WALKER embarked feurteen or fifteen years ago—an enterprise the suc cessful prosecution of which necessitated the most complete self. forgetfulness and the most laborious perseverance. That both those requisites have been most fully and cordially yielded by him throughout the agitation of the subject of Extramural Interments, we fancy is sufficiently proven by the mere circumstance that now, in defiance of all ob stacles, the evils of the existing system of burial have been formally acknowledged by her MeeesTr's Go. vernment. But for the assiduous persistence of Mr. WALKER, and for his magnanimous sacrifice of his own personal comfort and convenience, we should not so readily have attained even this shadow of the desired innovation. For to his painful disclosures in reference to the manner of intramural sepulture are alone attributable the steps already taken by the Cabinet in the way of improvement. True, without doubt, those steps are as yet only fal tering, and in many respects erroneous, yet, at the same time, they are also reasons for our congratula tion, seeing that they are auguries of an ultimate enactment securing to the community all the benefits desired by Mr. WALKER and his co-operators. As yet we have only a feeble hint of those benefits, but in the end that hint assures us that, with peneverance, we shall compass their entire realisation. As was very emphatically observed yes terday at the meeting, the evils of the measure now awaiting the last approving stamp of the Legislature, are not in any manner traceable to the scheme of Mr. GEORGE ALFRED WALKER, that gentleman being strongly opposed to the whole project of this lamentable Bill, and seriously dread ing the inevitably evil effects of its ope ration. Had the plan been submitted (as it should undoubtedly have been submitted) to his scrutiny prior to Its introduction to the Houses of Parliament, the pernicious clauses, already again and again enumerated by ourselves, would infallibly have been expunged, and others substituted of a nature calculated to reconcile all conflicting interests. The circumstance that Mr. WALKER. has throughout the whole movement acted independently of any one else, was surely no valid reason for the Cabinet re fusing to avail themselves of his unquestionable abilities, and of ** his undoubted experience. Knowing mere than any other individual in the United Kingdom upon the subject of intramural interments, it would have been only rational to have permitted him to participate in the labours of improvement, especially seeing that he himself individually ori ginated the whole scheme of sanitary innovation. Other persons have subsequently pushed forward more prominently in behalf of the health of the mul titude, winning more particular regard from the population by their more ostentatious exertions, obtaining official appointments at G-wydyr House, and being invested with the honours of Knighthood in the columns of the official Gazette. But, meanwhile, the gentleman in whose favour these tardy efforts are now making towards the purchase of a suitable testimonial has been labouring ear nestly, without any encouragement whatever from the State, and accumulating for the masses, almost in secret, a large amount of practical benefactions. With a view to the public recognition of these great services to the multitude, the preliminary meeting con vened yesterday will be beneficial as a testimony that the nation is not invariably ungrateful to its benefactors, beyond which the occurrence will not prove without advantage as a glaring condemnation of the forgetful ness evinced by the Government. Gratified, how ever, as we are at the circumstance, and satisfied as we must assuredly be with the share taken in this commendable movement by Lord DUDLEY STUART, the Chairman, and by Mr. GEORGE TnoeteeoN, the Secretary, we cannot bat regret that the meeting was n T o h t e o i n l l e e o ff f e c a t n mo r e e v e general rthe less, r a e ll s d u 1 t accessible c t h h e a r a cter selec tion of an inconvenient hour and locality may be readily obviated, and we trust that the people at large will be soon enabled to evidence their regard for Mr. WALKER, and their admirati on • for his la bours, by a more numerous attendance, and a not less unanimous enthusiasm. We would again urge upon those who are desirous of promoting a Christian observance of the Sunday, a s contradistinguished from a Judaical observance of the Sabbath, net to relax one jot or tittle in their exertions. The Pharisees are reckless ; it was only yesterday that the clique of " illustrious obscure," who on Tuesdayihad stated to Lord J OHN RUSSELL that they were the representatives of the weekly metropolitan press (they being connected exclusively with journals which do not publish on Sunday, and having therefore a direct interest in diminishing the circulation of the Sunday journals) waited upon the Marquis of CLANEICABDE, the Poet master-General, and made the same representations to him, urging him to render permanent the aboli tion of the Post-office Sunday delivery. The Mar quis of CLANRICARDE, in his answer, stated that the inquiry now pending would continue for some weeks,and that until that inquiry was concluded the Post- office de livery on Sunday would not be restored. This an swer is anything but safiefectory. There is no ne cessity for any such delay, and it would seem as though the Ministry' were afraid of the SabbAturittu4. Their conduct, too, on Mr. LocAß's motion proves that they have vastly overrated the force of the advocates for "a bitter observance of the Sabbath." They had promised him assistance, and we have seen the sort of assistance thy have rendered him. 11., therefore, becomes doubly necessary that the great msjority of the people should exert themselves, should show their real strength if they do not wish to be ridden over roughshod by a noisy, bigotted, fanatical minority, whose congregalional organization gives them — peculiar facilities for carrying out their selfish object, and for propagating the grossest misre presentations in support of their views. The arrogant assertion of exclusive righteousness on the part of these Sabbatarians would be amusing from its absurdity, were it not disgusting for its bigotry. One " of the illustrious obscure," who attended the deputation to the Marquis of CLANRICARDE yesterday, coolly arrogated to himself and his clique the exclusive possession of morality, and deemed all public writers who were opposed to his narrow and sectarian views as being wanting in a high moral tone—this person evidently sympathises with the fanatic who addresses the " Cursing Letter" to Mr. LOCKE, and it is only want of power that prevents such persons from condemning to the stake all who venture to differ from them in opinion. It is amusing to hear the manner in which certain Sabbatarian newsvenders, who attended this deputation, propose to deal with the valuable property of those persons through whose exertions these very men live, and move, and have their being. We would remind these gentlemen that if there were no newspapers there would be no newsvenders, and that if they destroy the circulation of the Sunday papers they will at the same time destroy their own l i profits : they may perhaps eventually find that they will have to pay too dear for their Sabbatarian whistle. It is, however, a mere selfish faction of the great and respectable body of newsvenders who are thus acting, and who seek to injure the Sunday newspapers in order to benefit themselves at the expense of their col leagues, by forcing a circulation fur certain journals, miscalled newspapers— Ut lucus a non lucendo— because they contain no news—an attempt, however, which must necessarily prove unsuccessful, as those who are accustomed to receive their Sunday news paper, conveying to them intelligence up to the very latest hour, will not be content to substitute for it a " stamped sermon." The Salabatarians are reckless and untiring, the Ministry is:made of squeezable materials ; behoves it then that we be active also, and apply the pressure in the right direction. Let every individual elector who feels himself aggrieved (and who does not ?) by the abolition of the Sunday delivery write a letter to his representative, calling upon him to do his utmost as a Member of Parliament to bring about a restoration of the old system; and let him also ad dress a letter to the Prime Minister to the same effect, stating therein that he is an elector. If this be done speedily there cannot be a doubt but that the Sunday delivery will he as speedily restored. Sir Thomas Wilde has been appointed Lord Chancellor. He will for the present fulfil the duties of the office in Court and in the House of Lords, but he will ultimately be appointed solely to the duties of the Lords. He takes office subject to all -arrange ments. It is understood that Sir J. Jervis, the present Attorney. General, will succeed Sir T. Wilde as Chief Justice of the Common Pleas, and that Sir John Romilly will be appointed Attorney• General. It is confidently expected that Mr. Cockburn will succeed Sir John Romilly as &Helton General. THE F_RENCIT REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. It is said that the Legitimatists intend to cele brate St. Henry's day, the fe t e day cf the Duke of BOURDEAUX with great solemnity. The authorities have issued the following notice on the subject : •• The authorities are informed that at this moment a banquet and a high mass are in course of preparation for bt. Henry's-c ay, and that invitations to attend have been addressed to several persons. The Ple‘cct of Pe lice apprises those persons who have been invited, that manifestations of this nature are forbidden." St. Henry's-day is celebrated on the 15th of July. The discussion on the Law of the Press win re sumed in the Assembly on Wednesday, after a vain attempt on the part of M. CREAIIEUX to record a pro test against the conduct of the President DUPIN for refusing to call to order the Minister Rouutut who characterized the revolution of February, 1848, ES a funeste catastrophe. In the course of the dis cussion M. LEO DE LAI3ORDE declared that he consi dered the absolute legitimate monarchy the best mode of government, but that as he could not obtain that, he should maintain the Republic as the next best. M. VICTOR HUGO spoke most eloquently against the measure. In the course of his speech he denounced in eloquent and truthful terms the machinations of the parti-pretre. He said the real revolutionists were the absolutists and reactionists, the apologists of the Jesuits and the Inquisition (pointing to M. MONTALEMBERT), of that diabolical sect who, after preaching the murder of kings, now preached the murder of nations, who mixed maxims cf death with those of the Gospel, and poisoned the holy water urn. He then proceeded to taunt them with seeking support from the Voltarians who laughed at them, and from the Jew bankers whom they would fain commit to the flames. During the course of the discussion M. ROUHER, the Minister who the day before had insulted the Republic, at tempted to address the Assembly. He was met with loud cries of " order" from the Members of the Left, which prevented him from proceeding. M. DUPIN, the President, was excited to a pitch of fury by the determination of the Left to insist on an apology from M. ROUHER, and exclaimed, "M. MloT, I have seen you interrupting several times." This sally from the impartial and trustworthy President pro duced shouts of laughter ; M. MIOT had not been present during any portion of the sitting. The noise still continued, and tired with shouting, but determined that M. Itoutsurt should not be heard until he had apolo gised, the opposition left their seats one by one, and re -tired at intervals of a minute each, every one slamming the door violently after.him. As there are 225 Mem bersof the Left, this proceeding effectually burked M. ROUHER, and the Assembly adjourned. It appears that at a Council, held at the Elys6e in the morning, it had been determined, on the advice of M. BAROCIIE, that M. ROUHER should not apologise. General BOYER, the late President of Hayti, died in Paris on Tuesday. The differences between General D'HAUTPOUL and General CHANGARNIER have become so serious, that the resignation of the former has become inevitable.

A Malta paper publishes the following from Corfu : " From Corfu the news is not unimportant. Some of the members in the House of Assembly had proposed to annex the lonian Islands to Greece—to abolish certain powers possessed by his Excellency the Lord High Com missioner in employing the police force, and to cut down the salaries of the Government employes, particularly the English, to a mere nothing. The consequence of these incidents has been that his Excellency Sir Henry George Ward, Lord High Commissioner, on the 12th Juc,e, issued a proclamation, proroguing the first ses sion of the present ninth Parliament until the 12th De cember, and a special messenger was immediately sent to England, with dispatches to the Colonial Minister." ITALY. A letter from Rome, ofthe 30th ult., in the Union, says:-- A circumstance has occurred here which has caused a great impression on those who witnessed it and under stood its signification. You are aware that every year, on St. Peter's-day, after the Pontifical t cal he mass, the Pope, a o de s n t a the h a] middle by a consista c r h i v a r i c a n d t r o oc h a e t a e r , t in he ret p u r r a n y i e n r g, m stp kneeling, to renew against the King of Naples the ex communication weighsonthesovehraeniganasn a pr ofthat country hiring whichp a sacrilegious l aeed domain of St Peter. Th e Pope pronounce s the t of he t excommunication, but immediately removes it. This yi ar the ceremony became more embarrassing. The souvenir of the hospitality given by Ferdinand caused the faults of his predecessors to be somewhat forgotten, and I am assured that Pius IX., in his inexhaustible bounty, was disposed not to issue an anathema against a King so devoted to the Church and to the Sovereign Pontiff; but Ahe card , nals whom he con,ift-ti were of opinion that the usage ought not to be abandoned, and that the only arm which the Church possesses for the defence of her temporal domain ought not to be allowed to be broken. The excommunication accordingly was pronounced, but after the absolution the Sovereign Pon tiff made in a loud voice the most complete eulogium of the magn2nimous Ferdinand, of his very dear son in Jesus Christ, the King of the two Sicilia, recalling in the most flittering terms the services he has rendered to the Holy See, and the Sovereign Pontiff ; and express ing his inviolate attachment and complete gratitude for such a Christian Prince. Thus was saved, at the same moment, the rights and usages of the Church, and the regards due to a sovereign who has done so much fur the Holy See." THE AUSTRIAN PLOT FOR THE ASSAS SINATION OF KOSS') TH. A man named BARDI has left Constantinople for London in a sailing vessel. He is the bearer of do cuments which tend, by strong circumstantial evi dence, to show the participation of the Austrian authorities in the plot for the assassination of KOSSUTH. The Austrians had seized and imprisoned him, but failed to obtain his papers, and he has at length managed to escape from their clutches with these important documents in his possession. HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE. The last of the series of Grand Morning Concerts at this theatre was given yesterday. There was as usual a monster programme, and the selection well deserved the term "cless!cal." It comprised pieces from the works of Mi.zarr, Beethoven, Mendelssolin, Cherubini, Paesiello, Streddla, Fioravanti, Spohr, Balfe, Coccia, Dr. Arne, Rossini, blercadante, Heyde, and Halevy ; and the immense vocal and instrumental resources of the theatre were engaged iu its interpretation. Sontag, Catherine Hayes, Parodi, Ida Bertrand : Giuliani, Fre z zolini, Miss Masson (of the Grand Opera, Paris, her first appearance), Leblache, Colletti, Belletti, Gardoni, Ban carde, Calzolari, Sims Reeves, F. Liblaclae, and Sig. Lo renzo, contributed by their vocal talents to a very rich and varied musical treat; and in addition to the full or chestra, conducted by Mr. Balfe, and the chorus of the theatre, M. Thalberg played some of his favourite piano forte pieces. Among the . instrumental pie ces (b es id es M. Thalbcrg's soloe, %Inch were enthusiastically en cored) were Beethoven's symphony No. 8 in F, end Mendelsohn's Scherzo and Wedding March (Midsummer IVighes Dream). To particularise the execution, even to give the names, of nearly thirty vocal pieces, is out of the question. It is enough to say that, throughout, the concert fully sustained the high character already attained by there performances. Among the encores were Madame Sontag's " The soldier tired," and Curschmaun's spirited trio (sung by Gardoni, Calzolari, and Baucarde), " Viva Ba co." Miss Masson made a most favourable impression, as well by the quality of her se ice as by the expressiveness cf her style and the excellence of her vocalization. The beat proof of the excellence of the entertainment was that, though so ion?, it kept a full audience in unwearied attention and perpe tual delight. It was a fortunate thought of the manage ment to give this series of concerts; because while the selections have attested the musical taste and know ledge of the conductor, and his happy choice of examples at once illustrative of the characteristics of many com paratively unknown composers and pleasing to the general taste, the execution has displayed in a marked and triumphant manner the extraordinary vocal re sources (and, let us add, the ies.rumental excellence) at the command of the direction. We have no doubt that such Ferformsnces will constitute a .permanent attrac tion, as they doubtless conduce to the spread of musical taste and knowledge. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. Mademoiselle Rachel repeated, last night, her won derful personification of Adrienne Lecouvreur; and the second performance confirmed and strengthened the opinions which we expressed on Tuesday last. So completely is Rachel mistress of , the art e hose very es sence is to conceal itself, that every movement, gesture, and intonation seems the spontaneous result of immt diate and most natural impulse. Nothing is " overdone or come tardy eff." The minutest detail is there, with out the appearance of elaboration; and in the " very whirlwind cf passion" there is ever that " temperance that doth give it smoothness." The " modesty of ❑a ture" is " never overstepped." She is, indeed, the very ideal presented in Shskspere's inimitable "advice to the players." It is this that lends majesty and force to every act aid word of Rschel. List night the enthu siasm of the fashionable thror:g at St. James's Theatre kneel no beunds. The crescent passion of the feurth anti fifth acts was marked with the most breathless at tention, interrupted at every pause by p'au,lits the most rapturous. Mademoiselle Rachel was repeatedly sum moned before the curtain to receive a homage as hearty as it was well merited. Such art ought to be cherished. We have never seen and shall never see its like again. SAILING OF THE ATLANTIC.—The powerful and splendid steam-ship Atlantic, Captain West, sailed from Liverpool yesterday forenoon; she carries out about zixty passengers and a light mail for the United States, together with a heavy cargo of goods. His Excellency the Nepaulese Ambassador and suite spent some time on Saturday in the extensive ware rooms of the Messrs. Nicoll, of Regent-street, and expressed their satisfaction at the vast display of manufactured cloths, &c., offered for their inspection ; some of the most valuable of which were selected as presents upon their return to their native country. THE LATE STEAM-BOAT ACCIDENT AT LAMBETH. —Yesterday Mr. W. Payne, coroner of London, held an in quest, which lasted nearly six hours, at the Steel Yard Tavern, Upper Thames-street, on the body of Mr. Hawtrey, jun., son of the member of the Court of Common Council for Bread-street Ward. Nearly 20 witnesses were examined; from whose evidence it appeared that the deceased and four other young gentlemen, ( n the evening of Saturday week, hired a randan skiff at Mrs. Needham's, Paul's Wharf, era proceeded up the river as far as Westminster-f.ridge, when they attempted to return back. At that moment the Dahlia steam-boat crossed from Hungerford-market on her way to Westminster-bridge. The steamer was stopped as soon as possible, but owing to the tide running very fast the two boats came into collision. The side of the smaller one was stove in and instantly - filled with water. Four of the rowers were rescued and taken on board the steam-boat, but the de ceased and a boy employed to bale the water out were drowned. Verdict—" Accidental death." LICENSED VICTUALLERS' ASYLUM.—RECENT FETE AT TIM ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—MY. Tyler, the proprietor of the above justly-admired place of public attraction, was kind enough yesterday (in balancing with the board the account of the fete had at his establish ment on Monday and Tuesday last, in behalf of the above institution), to present the society with a contribution of 10 guineas towards the " Chapel Fund." In addition to so kind a contribution, it should be stated that Mr. Tyler, on the second day of the fete, presented to each of the 130 children of the Licensed Victuallers' School, to whom he gave a free admission, a silver token in testimony of his admiration of that institution, and, in addition to such acts of liberality, Mr. Tyler was so good as to say that he would readily open the doors of his gardens to all the children of the Licensed Victuallers' School, on any Wednesday during the present season that the governor and committee might see fit to se lect. So sincere pledges of Mr. Tyler's good wishes towards both of the institutions we feel assured will be received with grateful thanks by the trade, and acknowledged by the public. THE LATE Sin ROBERT PE EL. — Yesterday a pre liminary meeting of merchants and bankers took place at the London Tavern, for the _purpose of considering the pro priety of calling a public meeting in the city of London on the subject of promoting a subscription for raising a testimo nial in honour of the lamented statesman ; Sir Edward North Buxton was called to the chair. Amongst those pre riff Nicoll, an d ot h er influen, • M.P., Sir Moses M on t e tiore s t ß i e a an i tt g "w ep Pie t ir l er e . m l‘G e l n ira l d jst L oos e ne t ep t th er ll s lir m i.o -ec h e ee, read approving of the object, and expressing regret that the writers could not attend the meeting, from Mr. George Glyn, Mr. Raikes Currie, M.P., Sir James Duke, Alderman Salomons, Mr. W. Gladstanes, Mr. R. D. Mangles, and several others. The meet ing unanimously agreed to a resolution to apply to the Lord Mayor for the use of the Egyptian Elan of the Man sion-house upon the occasion, and the Lord Mayor, who was forthwith waited upon, received the deputation with marked respect, and appointed Monday next for the meeting; his Lordship will take the chair on that day, at two o'clock precisely. It is expected that the attendance will be most numerous. The Rev. Mr. Marshall and air. Wire were appointed secretaries. BANQUET TO SIR JAMES D UKE , M.P.—W e o b serve from the London papers, that Sir James Duke left that city on Monday for Edinburgh. He is to be entertained at a banquet in the Hopetoun Rooms here, on Thursday, by the Lord Provost, Magistrates, and Town Council. This is in tended as a return for the honour which, when L or d M ayor of London, he conferred on our civic authorities by i nv iti ng them to dine with him at the Mansion -house. We under stand that most of the leading legal and other officials have received invitations to unite with the Council in this mark of respect to Sir James Duke.—Scotsman. HARVEST PaosrECTs.—The subjoined gratifying statement appears in the Cork Examiner. It completely re futes the report of an extensive failure in the potato crop in Kerry :—" A gentleman connected with this office has passed through a considerable district of Kerry, on to Lime rick, and his account of the crops, especially the potato, is most cheering. His words are—' lam glad to say that the rumoured potato blight is a complete failure. I never saw any thing more cheering thon the appearance of the crops all along the line from Tralee to Limerick, the potato especially, though the quantity of them afforded ample scope for variety in their appearance.' A Cappoquin correspondent writes—' I have not seen a single blighted stalk this year.' He admits that some few plants have been destroyed by harsh winds or have only reached a stunted growth owing to bad seed ; but he distinctly asserts that there is no appearance of the rot or disease of the three or four last years. A Youghal corres pondent writes—' There is no appearance here of the potato blight, although this was the first place where the potato blight di-tinctly appeared on former occasions.' We have excellent accounts of the potato from Douglas, Carrigaline, Passage, and the various potato-growing districts in the neighbourhood of this city. The writer passed through more than twenty blooming fields yesterday, and could not per ceive the slightest trace of taint or disease." IRONMASTERS' QUARTERLY MEETING.—WOLVER HAMPTON, JULY W. —The usual quarterly meeting of the ironrnasters of this district has been held here to-day; the attendance was not numerous, and the business transacted was very inconsiderable. Very few orders given, and al though some of the large makers state confidently that the trade is rather firmer, and the present prices can be well maintained, it is doubtful whether they will be borne out by the fact; needy makers, compelled in many instances by the condition of their tenancy to produce, must sell at some price, and the demand at the present moment being limited, only an increase of it can ensure for the trade anything like healthiness. The meeting at Birmingham to-morrow may disclose more precise results, but judging from actual cir cumstances, the inclination of prices is rather downward than otherwise. It i s p r oper to state, however, that the stockof iron is not large, the make having been as much as possible restri c t e d during the last t h ree mon ths.

The six weeks' average price of Wheat is 40s. 4d. per quarter and the sales in the markets which make official returns were last week 83,100 quarters. The meeting convened for Monday next, to take into consideration the propriety of a public testimonial to Sir K.: has excited warm interest in the City, and will be no doubt one of the grandest ever held upon any similar occasion. The example of the metropolis will concen trate the now scatter( d Efforts making in different locali ties, and it is certain from the combination, will ensue such a testimonial as was perhaps never b. fore raised. The case of the late Captain Clayton and his life in surance, teeming as it is with points of scandal, is far more important to the public at large than interesting to the mere lovers o f li g ht reading. Ir the Fin e:plc of insurance is ever to receive the extension it deserves, there must be a better understanding of the injustice of disputing payment after ath. Life insurances, to be as useful as they ought to be, should be " indisputable." It is obviously in the power of every office, through ita agents, through the medical profession, and by means of friends of the parties insuring, to ascertain the habits and constitution of an insurer; and if due dili gence be not exercised in this respect, the unfor tunate survivors, who had rested in fancied secu rity upon a future resource, should enjoy the t cock. It is always competent to an insa rance-effice to reject a life, and even with the chance (.f a gi eat many, owing to their own bad habits, being unfortunately deprived of the chance of making a set tlement for their families, the priticip'e of certainty in the case of those who have insured, should be maintained inviolate.

Yesterday morning, this match having been resumed, was brought to a conclusion in the afternoon, before the usual hour for dinner adjournment, three o'clock, had arrived. It will be found that Kent was beaten by six wickets. The days were when tha Kentish Eleven were almost, if not quite, in vincible, but in the present season the ordinary success has not awaited their efforts; for instead of being the victors, they stand in the position of the vanquished. There was a large amount of play of the highest order, and a numerous assemblage of the patrons of cricket. This morning the Eleven of Kent go over to the Oval to commence their match with the Eleven of Surrey—a match which will be one of the finest of the season.

The answer has been handed to us, in order to show, in contrast with other late replies from the same quarter, that the Duke can couch a refusal in courteous terms. The letter, dated " Strathfieldsaye," is as follows: " The Duke of Wellington presents his compliments to Mrs. Davies. He by no means doubts that any publication from her would deserve any patronage. More than twenty-six years have elapsed since others 9uffered from the Duke having incautiously what is called given his patronage to a work of which the title and prospectus indi cated nothing but what was proper. The Duke had but a choice of one of two things - either to examine every work before he should what is called patronise it, or decline to give what is called his patronage to any work whatever from that time forwards. The Duke's various avo cations, professional and other, induced him to adopt the latter course, as he really had not bear time for the efficient execution of that first mentioned. In the course of the period which has elapsed since that time the Duke has had hundreds, nay thousands of applications from persons of all classes and degrees ; but he has not in any one instance de parted from the course which he has laid down for the guide of his own conduct. Those whom he had heretofore refused would have reason to complain of the Duke, if, in confidence in Mrs. Davies, he was to depart from the course which he has adopted, and in adhering to which he has invariablyper severed.— Mrs. Davies, Scc." THE BEAR AND THE ACTRESS.--A M. Bonnet, of Montpellier, having a bea r o f t h e Pyrenees, to which he had succeeded in imparting a remarkable degree of instruc tion, entered som e t ime ago into a contract with M. Fournier, director of the Thatre de la P or t e S t. Martin, to exhibit the animal on the stage for 40f. a day, for two months from the 13th May last. A p l ay called the Bear of the Pyrenees was written, and the animal learned its part admirably. But an actress, who was to be saved from death by the beast, refused, as required by the authors of the piece, to throw herself into its arms as an expression of her gratitude. This led to difficulties between her and the director, and, the authorities having intervened, they gave positive orders that the bear should nut be allowed to appear in public unless muz aled. This rendered the performance impossible. Bonnet ac cordingly brought an action against Fournier for 1,875 f., the amount due to him on their contract, and the authors of the piece brought an action against the director for 1,000 f., for the loss sustained by the non-performance of the piece. M. Fournier, on his part, having given up the management of the theatre to M. Colin, demanded that that gentleman should be declared responsible in his place. The Tribunal of Commerce, after hearing the arguments of all the parties, relieved M. Founder from all liability, and condemned Colin, as his successor, to pay Bonnet 1,0 , , Of, and the authors 500 f.
