DENVIL.— This gentleman, an actor wh o f or • considerable reputation in the metropolis merly enjoyed during the production of Byron 's Manfred at Drury-l ane Theatre, is now, it seems , suffering deeply from the misfor tunes brought on by illness an d limited professional occupa tion. A 'performance is about to be given for his benefit at the Pavilion Theatre (of which he was once the manager) , which, it is to be hoped, will enable the few friends who are exerting themselves in his behalf to afford him the relief of which he stands so much in need. . u DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN LAMI3ET biscuit baker, morning, shortly and the - before a ...re b . roke out in .premises belonging to Mr. Belton, bread 2 o'clock, fire y Yesterda at the cor ner o f A gnes an d C ross Streets, Waterloo-road.

S mo k e w hich ha s aw issuing from th e l ower part of the prem i ses conv i n ced him that. the place was on fire; he therefore raised an alarm, and, after repeatedly knocking at the doors, sncceeded in arousing the inmates, consisting of Mr. - and Mrs. Belton, their son, and two female lodgers. By the time, however, that they were made sensible of their danger the whole of the basement was one immense body of fire, and the flames had extended half- way up the staircase. Finding it impos sible to escape down stairs, the two female lodgers leaped out of the top window, Mr. and Mrs. Belton were obliged to re• sort to•the dangerous expedient or first throwing their child out of window, and afterwards jumping out themselves. Mr. Belton was very severely hurt about the feet, but the other parties fortunately received no injury of any import ance. The West of England engine arrived, followed by several belonging to the. London: brigade. ITnfortunatelv, during the excitement, which prevailed, the turncock had not been called; and the consequence was, that although the engines were all ready. to be worked, not a drop of water could be procured, and the house, with all it contained, was soon reduced to ruins.

I of Parliament for the aboliti on o f th e o ffi ce o f L or d- Lieutenant of Ireland. The Noble Lord rests his opposition to this just and salutary measure on three distinct grounds, each of which will be embodied in a separate resolution. He first contends that the abolition of the office is "contrary to the expecta tions held out by the statesmen who carried the legislative union between the two countries, and who declared that though her Parliament was removed, Ireland should still retain her Court." In other words, the Noble Marquis desires that it should be considered that the main tenance of the office in perpetuity formed part of the solemn compact entered into between the two Par liaments at the period when the federal treaty was concluded. The Noble Marquis ought to be well acquainted with the views and opinions entertained by the chief actor in the transaction, the Minister under whose auspices the union was accomplished. On such points his authority is very high indeed, and we are fully convinced that he is incapable of stating anything, of the accuracy of which he is not fully convinced. But, although we gladly render this justice to his Lordship's character for honour and veracity, and also as to his sources of information, we must venture to remind him that the letter from his late Majesty GEORGE 111., written to his Prime Minister at the time the measure was in contempla tion, and read by Lord JOHN RUSSELL when bringing the present Bill before the House, clearly and distinctly proved that although the office might be retained for a time, its abolition at some future and more fitting opportunity was even then decided on, a fact of which a Minister charged with so important a duty as the then Lord CASTLEREAGH must have been fully cognisant. If it was then considered that the retention of the tinsel pageantry of the mock Court was essential to the welfare and prosperity of Ireland, or even of its metropolis, a clause would have been inserted in the Act—we should, perhaps, more correctly have termed it an " article in the treaty," making adequate provision therefore. It was one of the very rare cases in which an existing Parliament could bind its successors, and sanction enactments that could not unanimous approbation be repealed, save with the approbation of both countries. Had it been at that time considered a matter of such vital importance, the stipulation would unquestionably have been made, and placed upon such a foundation as to render it beyond the possibility of doubt or controversy ; and the absence of any express enactment on the subject, and that at a time when so many stringent provisions were carried, proved, beyond the possibility of doubt, that it was con sidered a matter of comparative indifference, which might safely be left to the wisdom of future Parlia ments to decide on. Lord CASTLEREAGH might have stated that there was no intention to take away the Viceregal Court ; but if such a statement were made it must clearly have had reference to existing circum stances, and could not by any possibility be tortured into a pledge that it should be continued throughout all ages, even after every pretext for its necessity or utility had departed. We have already stated that there might be some advantages derived from the pre sence in Ireland of a nobleman representing the SO VEREIGN, and armed with considerable power and authority, at a time when no communication could be made from the English to the Irish metro polis, or vice versa, in less than three days, or under unfavourable circumstances, such as might easily occur in even double that time, but that argument is completely removed when we consider that the journey may now be performed in less than twelve hours, or, in case of emergency, intelligence received in less than four hours. It might as reasonably be contended that we should refuse to avail ourselves of railways, steam-packets, and electric telegraph, as that we should obstinately reject the advantages that naturally follow from their adoption. The next resolution relates to the time at which the change is to be effected, which, it is contended, is most inauspicious, when the depressed condition of the country is taken into consideration ; but surely that is the very reason why the change should now be made. A. physician does not withhold his remedies until his patient has fully recovered—it is at the time when the disease is at the height that he directs the course most likely to improve the sick man's health and restore him to convalescence. The last resolution relates to the establishments and population of Dublin, which, according to Lord LONDONDERRY, entitle it to a resident Lord-Lieute nant; but we must confess that, admitting to the fullest extent the natural advantages of the Irish capital, we cannot see that they afford any reasons for the maintenance of a useless office which do not equally apply to Edinburgh and to every other town with more than a quarter of a million of in habitants. They might possibly form good argu ments for the repeal of the legislative union, but none against the measure intended to connect more closely and consolidate the bonds by which they are connected, and to render them indeed " an United Kingdom" in the most extensive signification of the term. The patrons of pestilence, the delighters in dirt, the sniffers of" ancient" smells, the sovereigns of Smith field in short, have received " a heavy blow and a great discouragement." The Commissioners ap pointed to make inquiries relating to Smithfield market have made their report, and five of them, viz., Mr. George Cornewall Lewis, Sir H. Verney, Mr. William Miles, Mr. Richard 0 wen, and Mr. Frederick Byng have reported that " it would be ad visable to remove the market for live stock from its present site, not to some other site immediately adjoining, but to a site de- tacked from the central portion of the metropolis." As might have been expected, Sir JAMES Duics and Mr. JOHN WOOD, who were the commissioners representing the City, have pro tested against this report ; but this was not sur prising, they were nominated in order that they might protest, and they have performed their duty. It is pleasant to observe that the tone of the up holders of the nuisance is completely changed ; instead of, as heretofore, contending for the salubrity of Smithfield, and the ample accommodation it affords, they are now compelled to admit the truth of all the charges %Itch have been brought against this, to them, most profitable nuisance, but then they suggest, meekly and humbly suggest, that " all inconveniences would be obviated by an enlargement of the site of the market amply adequate to its requirements—such an enlargement as has been proposed by the Markets' Improvement Committee of the Corporation." This is certainly one of the most extraordinary modes of abating a nuisance that was ever proposed, and the Corporation of London must have had a very poor opinion indeed of the perspi cacity of the Commissioners when they ventured to commend such a proposition to their attention. The complaint is that the existence of a live cattle market in the centre of a crowded metropolis is a nuisance. " Granted," say the Members of the Corporation, " but only double the extent of the nui sance—let it extend over 13 acres instead of over 6 acres and 15 poles, and it ceases to be a nuisance at all." Such is the sole argument which the ingenuity of the advocates of Smithfield can devise for its con tinuance—an argument which needs only be stated in order to demonstrate its utter absurdity. Th e doom of Smithfield is, we take it for granted, at length sealed. At length the Beard of Health has made its report on the supply of water to the metropolis. The docu ment is of great length, and the Board state, as the result of their inquiries, that the water supplied to the metropolis is inferior to the average quality of water supplied to towns ; that the water taken by the Lambeth Company from the Thames opposite Hun gerford Market is charged with animal and vegetable impurities, apparently the effect of the discharge of sewer water, which renders it wholly unfit for use, and highly dangerous to the health of the persons who drink it ; that from the inferiority of the water and its pollution, a large proportion of the population is rendered averse to its u.e as a bevel.- age. The Beard also complain of the inter mittent supply, which renders the retention a p t ob h o c l e l na u ld e t l oiv schemes :n u a s h ofeeamur abandonment arising t o e f : tr hgeng im purityirreaesjv:a e t a ; tnb n i ode g n of the water in tanks and butts necessary, as f-om the original ro them water;o Thamested itb yw recommen ds a a n t e d r o c f om al -1 rivers, the water of which is hard, as sources of sup ply ; the consolidation of the management of the water supply with that of the drainage under one and the same administrative body, and the confiding the preparation and superintendence of the required works to a few competent and responsible officers, of whom a certain proportion should be paid, giving their whole time and attention to the subject—the whole of the works to be oarried into execution by contract upon open tenders. They conclude by stating that the proper execution of the works will be best guaranteed, and the interests of the poorest classes of the population best guarded by the direct control of Parliament. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris j ournals of Saturday and of yesterday. The Electoral Bill having passed, it is officially announced that the negotiation for bringing about a reconciliation between the two branches of the House of Bourbon has failed. No one is surprised at this announcement, the Orleanists always intended it should fail so soon as the electoral law was passed. M. TRIERS having used MM. BERRYER and VATI.ZMENIL as his catspaws to draw the ches nuts from the fire, now leaves them, and laughs at his dupes, the Legitimatists, against whom, as M. DE LA. ROCHEJACQUELIN plainly perceived, the electoral law was really directed to the full as much as against the Socialists. On Saturday, the Electoral Bill having been passed on Friday, M. LEON FAUCHER presented a report on the petitions presented on that subject : 2,418 persons spread over fifteen Departments, had petitioned in favour of the Bill, while 5 27,000 persons only, had petitioned against it, and M LEON FAUCHER hinted that it was possible that prosecutions might be commenced against the signers of these petitions. M. LEON FAUCHER is just the sort of man to sit on the safety-valve of a steam-engine, because its click annoyed him. The Republique notices the passing of the Bill as follows : " To-day, the 31st May, the 57th anniversary of the revolution which overthrew the Girondists, 413 repre sentatives to 241 voted a law which will deprive 6,000 000 of citizens of their right of voting. This resolution will forin an epoch in the history of France. This vote is a serious one, particularly for the Government. and for the majority of the Assembly. As to us, who have always protested against the principle and the details of this law, and as to the 6.000,000 of dis franchised citizens, the vote cannot have any serious effect until 1852. Between the present time and that epoch we doubt not that events—the drawing up of the lists and the cry of public opinion —will enlighten even the members of the majority. Until then, the law just voted is only a declaration of intention, intention without material effect except in some partial elections. In the meantime, the part of the Republicans is to exercise on oppressed opinion all the influence whi c h it can obtain in the state of legality in which we are at present placed. Soon, and at the latest in 1851, they must claim, by means of petition, the abrogation of that law of which petitions could not prevent the adoption. The Republi cans, even those who have been called the vile multitude, will be to-morrow what they were yesterday. Let the people, then, preserve the dignity and the calmness which they have hitherto shown; democracy e ver y day makes fresh progress in Paris and in the departments." Orders have been given to prosecute the Evenement and the Siecte. Intelligence has been received from Algiers of the death of General DE BARRAL from a wound received in a skirmish with the Kabyles. There was no business transacted in the passage of the Opera to-day, the speculators waiting for the set tlement of the last account. It is feared that the great fluctuations in the price of Government stock which have occurred during the last 15 days will have occasioned some failures.

The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000 bales, of which 4,500 were taken fcr export and on speculation. The market was firm at previous rates.—ln Railway Shares a good business was done at higher quotations. The Corn Market is heavy to {lay with large imports of Wheat. In a report concerning the state of trade at Man chester, Messrs. McNair and Cc. state that— " Prices now are exceedingly firm, with an exception or two, and we have seldo m or never k nown s t oc k s o f either Yarns or Goods at this season of the year to be so light. This is a fact of a very favourable import, and one which indisposes many manufacturers and spin ners to enter into contracts of any magnitude, unless satisfactory prices can be obtained. Amongst producers a belief in the attainment of still higher rates is very prevalent. One thing is much more certain than pro bable, and that is, that were an active and vigorous de mand to set in, an instantaneous advance would ensue from the scarcity of both Goods and Yarns in first hands. We may notice in connexion with the extent of busi. ness done, that the aggregate amount has been mate rially increased by the existence of old contracts, for India and China shirtings mainly, many of which are still incomplete, and that the purchases during the month have either been for actual wants, or made in appre hension of an immediate advance. The demand for the country trade has, we are glad to state, been much more extensive for goods, owing in some measure to the very favourable change in the weather, which has already liberated quantities of summer styles and fabrics. What ever may be the amount of distress existing in many of the agricultural districts, and the effects produced here, many of our friends appear to have overlooked, in con nexion with it, the consequences resulting from the se rious depreciation of railway property, which has natu rally much impaired the means of many, and more espe cially of those living upon fixed incomes." This seems to us to be quite as good a solution of the passing langour experienced as any allegation of distress among the agriculturists. The Banker's Magazine for the current month states, in reviewing the condition of the Share market during the last three weeks, that " the advance of prices in some instances has been marked, and the amount of busi ness has been considerable. Whether or not the lowest point has been reached and left behind, remains to be seen. In the meantime we still repeat our old admoni tion, that real prosperity can only be restored by a strict and persevering attention to details. Connected with the subject of railways is the history of the Exchange Banks, established in Scotland in 1845 and 1846, for the purpose of making advances on railway property; most of these banks' have failed. We observe that one of the largest of them, ' The Commercial Exchange Bank,' at Glasgow, held a meeting on the 22d for the purpose of dissolving the company. The report of the Investigation Committee describes a loss of 134,6701. A very curious chapter of banking experience is to be gathered from the failure of these concerns, and we may endeavour on a future occasion to refer to it. " The following have been the prices of shares at the under• mentioned dates:— 20th April, 1850. Newcastle and Berwick l2 York and North Midland l4} Eastern Counties Lancashire and Yorkshire 34 London and North-Western lO3 London and South-Western 5B Brighton 79 Midland Great Western There are accounts from the West Indies per Great Western to a late date, and in respect to the position of the different colonies they are generally satisfactory. In Jamaica, the weather was rather variable. There had been fine rains in some parishes, but in other districts drought prevailed. In Demerara also, the weather seemed to be changeable, but at the latest date it was fair, and a continuance of it would prove highly favourable. In Barbadoes a large quantity of Sugar remained to be shipped. The crop, on the whole, would fall short, it was supposed. Valparaiso accounts by this opportunity are dated March 30. Trade was rather dull. Her Majesty's ship Daedalus has on board 2,000,000 dollars. The steamer from Halifax is also telegraphed, but we have no advicea in town yet. The petition in favour of Canadian independence is stated to have been received in the Assembly by a large majority, but this indulgence counts for little. The Overland Mail brings intelligence of April 20 from Calcutta. In exports there was no alteration, and imports were wanting in activity, although a little im provement was observable just before the packet left. At Bombay money was very abundant, and imports were dull. Hemburgh letters of Friday last notice an active de mand for bills on London, and which were in much re quest. The rate was 13 Bi. The English Funds have becn'rather fluctuating this morning. After being 96i 1., Consols have been just done at 96g. Tho New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents. have been 971 to and the Three per Cents. 95 1. The Greek affair is alleged again as the cause, and probably the extensive speculation for a rise induces parties ever and anon to realise profits. Exchequer-bills have been 68s. to 71a. premium, and India Bonds 85s. to 86s. premium. East India Stock has been at 268 to 269. In the Foreign Market there have been but limited transactions. Mexican Bonds have been buoyant at 31k to 1, and Grenada have risen to 171 the intelli gence being favourable. Peruvian Stock is firm at 76i for the Active. Russian Scrip has been quoted 3 to ai premium. Spanish Three per Cents. are 38. Bel. gran Four-and-a-Half per Cents. have realised 87 to 874, and Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents 561. In Railway Shares there have been extensive deal ings, and there has been correspondingly a good deal of fluctuation. The market decidedly buoyant.

Nothing, we trust, will interfere with the determi nation, now grown prevalent among the real Sanitary Reformers in the House of Commons, to effect a com plete and comprehensive emendation of the several clauses specified by ourselves as most objectionable in the Ministerial measure relating to Metropolitan Interment. Any decrease of energy in the opposition displayed to these clauses, arising out of an over anxiety not to obstruct the first movement of relief taken in the matter by her MAJESTY'S Government, would be not merely shortsighted but most reprehen sible. Rather than have the Bill now before Parlia ment accepted as a boon in the way of improvement, we would gladly see the whole, scheme rejected, and thereby doomed to a yet further postponement. Our preference in this regard arises from our sense of the extreme danger incurred by the rights of the population, if the powers of administration in re• ference to the proposed cemeteries be handed over to the clerical party in the unconditional manner inti mated by the plans submitted to the Legislature by the ruling Cabinet. Supposing their plans in their present form, and without undergoing any modifica tion whatever, were allowed to be carried practically into effect, the preponderance of the evil produced over the good secured by the change would be very speedily perceptible. It would then be discovered, when perhaps too late, that the superior advantage of extramural over intramural interment would be scarcely recompense for the circumstance of the ex orbitant compensation accorded to the ecclesiastical functionaries, especially as the option would still remain with those authorities to close or open the present metropolitan graveyards, precisely as they might find it convenient. This we have demonstrated already more than once, by direct reference to the different clauses of the Bill about to be considered in Commit tee. To be plain—the measure is altogether a mere clerical measure, and not one tending to develope the popular improvement. The very principle upon which the whole Bill has been constructed indicates this with sufficient clearness. It is there perceptible that the Ministerial promoters of the project have set out in the undertaking with the notion that before any change can be attempted in the way of establish ing a system of extramural interment, justice re• quires that the clergy of the Establishment should receive a certain amount of compensation. Now against this idea we protest altogether, regarding it, as we do, as wholly and totally preposterous. The plain spoken undertaker, who claimed for himself and for the other traders in his line of business, an equal right with the clergy to compensation, was only speaking the bold blunt truth, however ridiculous his demand may have appeared. If compensation is to be given to the clergy of the Establishment, com pensation ought also to be given to the undertakers. True enough, the undertakers want pecuniary com pensation, while the clergy are contented to receive compensation in the way of power and so forth ; but against the naked principle of compensation altogether we protest, as against an odious wrong to the people, a shameless concession to the ecclesiastical authorities, and a miserable and most culpable abne gation of dignity on the part of the Government. No compensation whatever, we maintain, is neces sary as an antecedent to the change in the way of extramural interment—be it either compensation to the clergy, or compensation to the undertakers. The origin of all these wretched concessions made by the Cabinet to the clerical party must at any rate be sufficiently comprehensible. The Government, in making the first great movement in the way of sani tary amelioration, were aware of the extent of the opposition they might have to encounter; and con sequently looked around them for the purpose of ren dering a disagreeable change at least in some re spects palateable. For this purpose they have en deavoured to gild the bolus of alteration with the charming tinsel of power, in order that it might be swallowed more easily by the clergy of the Esta blishment. It is almost needless, we should imagine, for us to protest that in acting thus we conceive that the Cabinet has acted in a manner derogatory to its dignity. Its derogation of dignity, in fact, consists in its thus truckling to the ecclesiastical influences in a matter intimately affecting the popular rights and the popular conve nience ; and we are satisfied that its members have thereby materially diminished their already suffi ciently deteriorated reputation. Happily the con cession has been detected betitnes. The pernicious tendency of the different clauses, enumerated and par ticularised in the columns of The Sun, has been dis cerned even before the formation of the House of Commons into a Committee ; so that the aspirants for an unexceptionable system of extramural inter ment have ample opportunity for modifying and perfecting the skeleton plan submitted to their consideration by the Government. Should they allow this inestimable opportunity to pass by without availing themselves of in any adequate manner, theirs and theirs alone will be the responsibility, theirs and theirs alone will be the culpability. This evening the subject wil be revived in Parliament. This evening, therefore, we shall look with confident expectation to Mr. MackoNoN and the rest of the Sanitary Reformers in the House of Commons, sanguine that they will correct by a timely and resolute opposition the errors and demerits arising from the concessions made by the Government. If any apathy be evinced in reference to the particular arrangements about to be enforced by the new enactment—the friends of the movement contenting themselves with the self gratulatory reflection that the old evils arising from miscellaneous burial in city graveyards are about to be dissipated—we dread to anticipate the pernicious consequence of any such disrelish for vigilant pre-investigation. Our solici tude upon the subject arises from a knowledge that this, of all contrivances, would be the most certain to lead the way to the rendering of the most important of ,allthe bra nc h es o f san it ary re f orm unpopu l ar.

Madrid journals of the 28th ult. have arrived. The Heraldo contains the following : " The day before yesterday a meeting of holders of Spanish securities was held in the Bank of St. Ferdi nand to consider what memorial they ought to address to the Board of Public Debt upon the arrangement of that debt, agreeably to the Royal decree of the 30th of March last. This meeting was only preliminary, another meeting being to be held on the 2d of June next, in the same place, to elect deputies from their body charged to communicate with the board on the subject. At the preliminary meeting the greatest order prevailed. and, although treating of money matters, which are always of a delicate nature, and very likely to excite the pas sions, every one spoke with calmness, and all did that justice to the Government to which it is entitled for the uprightness of its intentions, and for having taken the initiative in entering on a question, which, if satisfactorily solved, as it is 0 be hoped it will be, must be the com mencement of our prosperity, present and future."

ST. PETERSBURGH, MAT 23.—THE GREAT Ex- HIBITION OF 1851.—The committee for the London exhibition has informed the corresponding committee in St. Petersburgh that the space assigned to the exhibition of Russian product is 10,000 square feet, including the passages, whereby the space for the articles exhibited , will not exceed half that extent. The St. Petersburgh committee, therefore, desire that only such articles be sent which have already ob tained a great fame, and in such quantity as shall suffice to show the quality of the product which, continues the committee, will probably be all specimens of agricultural produce. The time for sending the articles to St. Petersburgh, where they will be subject to the strict scrutiny of the home committee, begins on the 13th of July next, and closes on the 13th of September. The time fixed for receiving them in London is from Jan. 1 to March 1, 1851, a season when the Russian navigation b not open, in consequence of which all articles from hence must be dispatched from Russia in the autumn of 1850. All articles selected by the committee will be sent to London at the expense of the Crown, and will there be placed under the special charge of the agent of the Minister of Finance, who will be in London, and who will be responsible for the return of such articles as shall remain unsold.

VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the VICE CHANCELLOR of ENGLAND.) AOGERS V. HALL. The arguments in this part-heard case were resumed to-day, and occupied his Honour the whole morning. RESIGNATION OF VICE-CHANCELLOR WIGRAT'I. A rumour is very prevalent this morning in West minster Hall that the Vice-Chancellor Wigram has re signed his high office in consequence of his continued indisposition. Nothing of the least interest occurred during the morning in the Vice• Chancellor Knight Bruce's Court. QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before Lord CAMPBELL. and Justices PATTESON, COLERIDGE and ERLE.) FIELDING V. THE MANCHESTER, SHEFFIELD, AND LIN• • COLNSHIRE RAILWAY COMPANY. In this case a rule nisi had been obtained by Mr. Mar tin calling on the above railway company to show cause why a writ of mandamus should not issue commanding them to issue their warrant to the Sheriff of Chester ac cording to the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, to sum mon a jury to assess the compensation due to James Fielding in respect of his interest as assignee in certain lands in the county of Chester taken by the railway com pany for the purposes of a branch of the railway. It appeared that, in 1845, one John Bolton took from the Peak Forest Canal Company a plot of land, for 199 years, on which he built a public-house; and in 1846 the railway company, desiring to apply to Parliament for an Act to make a branch, gave notice to Bolton, whose land they proposed to take, of their intention so to do. At the end of 1846, Bolton became bankrupt, and his property in this land was purchased by his son-in-law, James Fielding, the present plaintiff. In March, 1847, the company's engineer proceeded to stake out the line of their proposed railway, which was to pass through the lands of Fielding. A pier was afterwards erected on about 280 yards of the land, which pier remained until the end of 1848, when the erection was taken down and the land restored to its original condition. In 1847 a claim was made on the railway company by James Field ing for the sum of 9851. 13s. 4d. as a compensation for the damage done to his land. The company not having complied with that application Fielding commenced an action against them in 1849 to recover the above sum; but the parties subsequently agreed to refer the matter to arbitration. Arbitrators and an umpire were appointed and then a notice was served on the company to sum mon a jury, on which the present application was grounded. - Sir F. THESIGER now showed cause against the rule, contending that it appeared from the affidavits in answer to the present application, that the engineer had taken possession of the land in question under the impression that it belonged to the company, and that this case did not come within the 68th section of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, inasmuch as that section applied only to cases in which possession had been taken without uotice and retained, but did not apply to a case i❑ which the trespa , s had been discontinued, as in this instance. Mr. MARTIN (with whom was Mr. Wheeler) in sup port of the rule, contended that the application for the rule was not made alone on the 68th section of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, but was also moved for under the 16th section of the Railway Clauses Con solidation Act. Lord CAMPBELL was of opinion that the rule must stand or fall on the 68th section of the Lands Clauses Consolidation Act, which made it a condition that a claimant should state the amount of his claim. He was opinion that the rule should be discharged with costs. The other members of the Court concurred, and the rule was discharged, with costs. EXCHEQUER.—(THIS DAY.) The Court took the special paper to-day, but none of the cases argued during the morning were of sufficient interest to requiro a report. COMMON PLEAS.—(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, and Justices 7SIAuLE, CnEsswELL, and TALFOURD; and at Nisi Prius, before Mr. Justice WILLIAMS, and a Common Jury.) No business of importance was brought before either of these courts this morning. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN ) Mr. Justice WIGHTMAN, after going through the bar, and disposing of several motions, which presented no feature calling fur a report, took the peremptory paper, which occupied the rest of the sitting. BOW-STREET.—(THis DAY.) A wretched•looking young woman was charged with attempting to commit suicide. Police-constable 174 F stated, that yesterday he was on duty in Long-lane, about three o'clock, when he was called into Neal's-yard, Seven-dials, where he found the prisoner, who appeared to be suffering from the effects of drink and poison. She had swallowed some sugar of lead, but being drunk her band was too un steady to hold the phial straight, and she therefore spilt more of the poison than she got down her throat. She twos conveyed to the station, where an emetic was admi nistered to her, which operated effectually, and she soon came round again. The prisoner said she had been drinking freely during the day, and on her return home she looked in the cup board for something to eat. She, however, found nothing but the phial, and fancying that it contained gin, she endeavoured to drink it. She was discharged with a severe reprimand. e are authorised to announce that Lord Cotten ham will be forthwith raised to the rank of Earl of Cot tenham, of Cottenham, in the county of Cambridge, and Viscount Crowhurst, of Crowhurst, in the:county of Surrey. THE NEPAULESE MISSION.—The members of this mission, which, it will be recollected, has just arrived in England from Nepaul in charge of a very valuable consign•. ment of presents for her Majesty the Queen from the Raja of that State, have taken a mansion on Richmond-terrace, and purpose remaining in England about three months. The more distinguished personages attached to the mission drive out daily "lionizing." On Saturday afternoon much interest was excited by their appearance in full costume in Covent garden-market, where they passed nearly an hour, and in the evening they were present at Lady Palmerston's assembly. The following is an authentic list of the gentlemen composing the mission:—General Jung Bahadoor Koowur Ranajee, Prime Minister of the Raja of Nepaul, and Commander-in- Chief of the Nepaul forces; Colonel Dhershumsher Jung Koowur Ranajee, Colonel Juehshumher Jung Koowur Rana jea.

JENNY LIND.—STOCKHOLM, MAY 23.—Jenny Lind is to appear in six concerts, the first of which is to take place to-morrow.

His Excellency General Jung Balladeer Koowur Ranajee, and suite, will honour the French Plays with their presence this mailing. We understand that Mr. Tufnell, secretary of the Treasury, has intimated to the Government an intention of resigning his office before the expiration of the session. It has been long felt that the services of that gentleman entitled him to move in a much higher Ministerial sphere. Rumours are afloat as to his successor. Names have been mentioned, but we incline to believe that the post will be conferred at no distant period upon Colonel Romilly, Member for Canter bury.— Weekly Chronicle. THE Wool, LEAGUE.—On Saturday a meeting of tenant-farmers, tradesmen, and' others favourable to the protection of British industry, was held at the Public Rooms, in the borough of Beverley, to take into consideration the present depressed "state of agriculture and other interests dependent thereon.
