IMPERIAL PA RLIAMENT. (THIS DAY.) • HOUSE OF COMMONS. The SPEAKER took the Chair at Twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' amendments were considered and agreed to: Western Railway (Arrangements with reference to the . Purchase, &c., of the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth, &c., Railways) Bill. Leeds and Thirsk Railway Bill. The Shrewsbury and Chester Railway and the Wa terfOrd and Tramoro Railway Bills were read a third time. NEWSPAPER DUTIES. Mr. HAYTER presented a petition from Wells, pray ing. for the repeal of all duties on newspapers. REGIUM DONUM. KERSHAW presented petitions from London and Westminster against the Regium Donum. ST. ALBAN'S BRIBERY COMMISSION BILL. The House .then went into committee on this Bill, Mr. Bernal in the chair. On, the consideration of Clause 13, Mr. STUART objected to the Committee proceeding any further with this Bill, because he thought they were proceeding on a precedent which did not at all apply to the present proceedings. The Sudbury election was evi dently the precedent on which the Hon. Gentleman who had introduced the Bill was proceeding, but in that case the House had proceeded with the Bill after a full and fair inquiry had taken place, with evidence from both sides, and after a distinct recommendation from the Committee, but is the present instance the only reason for bringing in the Bill was that • full inquiry bad not and could not be held, and after a report from the Committee; which he would say was the most extraordinary he had ever read, from any Com mittee and from any tribunal whatever. First of all, they reported that Mr. Bell was duly elected, next that they bad no materials brought before them properly to try the case, and last of all they west on to s4y that it was evident that gross bribery and corruption had pre vailed at the last election, then after making their de , vision going on to assign two separate reasons why theY should have come to a completely different re sult. If the precedent of the Great Yarmouth case, in which the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Dorset-. shire bed taken the initiative, had been followed, there would' have 'been a question of some sort or other, when in fact, there was none whatever now. The case of Horsham, too, was much more in point, although in that ease Parliament .retuaed to grant a commission. tie thought the chairman of the Committee which had made such an absurd report was asking them to commit a flagrant injustice, and he for one, would be no party to it; be should therefore move that the Chairman do BOW leave the chair. Mr. AGLIONBY protested against the course which the Hon. and Learned Gentleman had taken, and he hoped the Committee would not entertain it. Mr. ELLICE considered that the report of the Comuiittee was perfectly consistent with the evidence adduced before them. They declared the sitting Mem ber elected, because there was no direct proof of his being guilty of bribery either by himself or agents; but the Committee entertained no doubt that corruption and bribery did extensively exist at the last election. They recommended the ap pointment of a Commission, for they were of opinion it was the only means of ascertaining the truth with regard to the extent to , which bribery was carried on, and would likewise save much of the public time. A. Commission was by far the most expedient mode of in quiry, if the House thought any inquiry was necessary. Mr. STUART said he was in favour of the fullest inquiry into the prayer of the petition against Mr. Bell, but he objected to the dangerous principle involved in the present Bill, and would divide the House upon it, unless the Honourable Member agreed to the amend ments proposed by his Honcurable Friend (Mr. Bankes). Mr. BANKES thought the House ought to consider before they proceeded further whether the other House would sanction any such measure for the appointment of a Commission on'no better grounds than those alleged in the very unsatisfactory report of the Committee. He bad framed his amendments as nearly as possible in con tormity:with Lord J. Russell's Act,the sth and 6th Vic., a. 102, and he believed they would lead more Effectually to the accomplishment of the object they all desired. A greater insult had never been offered before to the House than by the absconding witnesses, whose evidence was required-before the Committee. Some of them were just across the water, via, at Boulogne, while the others had gone a little further on their travels, and were now at Paris. He believed they were complaining of the want of remit tances, and the absence of remittances appeared to be `the only hope of their return. As this subject involved the dignity and character of the House, he hoped the Hon. Member would accede to the amendments he pro posed. After a few words from Mr. E. ELLICE and Mr. STUART,,. The Committee divided, when there appea rs For Mr. Stuart's amendment ... 10 Against it ... ..• 54 Majority ••• •.. ... —44 The Chairman then reported progress, and the House adjourned until Five o'clock. • .. . . TILE ARMY. On the 31st of May the anniversary dinner of the medical officers of the army took place at the Thatched Rouse; St. James's street, when Sir C. U. Clarke, Ban, presided. Previous to the dinner a deputation, consisting of 40 officers Of the department, waited upon Sir James M•Grigor for the purpose of presenting a valedictory address upon his retirement from the office of director general. The address, which was read by Dr. Skey, inspector-general of hospitals, expressed in very strong language the sense entertained by the department of • the services of their late chief, and of the zeal and ability with which he had conducted the important office of direotocegeneral for thirty-six years. REDUCTION IN EARL FITZWILLIAAI'S RENTS.—The following is a copy of a circular which has been delivered to Earl Fitz William's tenants on the Wentworth estate :—" The re-adjustment of the rents on the Wentworth estate having now been completed, Lord Fitzwilliam has directed that, at the approaching May rent-days, they should be received upon the new scale. He has also directed that an allowance of the excisepaid in November last should be made to each tenant Whose then payment exceeded the sum which would have been due by him upon the new' scale. He makes this allow ance because it was his view that the re-adjustment should 'bays been made half- a .year earlier, but circumstances did not afford opportunity of entering upon the necessary inves tigation. Lord Fitzwilliam thinks it possible that the change may be considered insufficient by some of the tenants, who • may hive been led to entertain very extravagant expecta tions ; .he has confidence, however, that his tenants will bear in mind that while the reduced value of some agricul tural produce tends to a reduction of rent, that effect is in some degree counteracted by the reduction of the prices of most articles consumed or paid for by the farmer or his fa mily. Lord Fitzwilliam's intention has been to be just to his tenanis,.and at the same time to himself." The scale of ?eduction; it is understood, is about l:?/. per cent. per annum. The basis upon which his Lordship's previous rents were cal culated was . 6s. 81 per bushel for wheat, but the basis on which the re-adjustment has been calculated appears to be be. 10d. per bushel. Stamford Mercury. EXCISE SEIZURE.—On Saturday morning Messrs. Elmy, and a party. of Excise officers, effected an entrance to the house No. 30, Maidstone-place, Bethnal-green, and found an upper room fitted up as a d►stillery, with a still then in full operation, and in the place about thirty gallons of mo lasses wash, quantities of spirits, and all the appurtenances for illicit distillation on a rather extensive scale, the whole of which the officers, of , course, seized, and subsequently conveyed to the Excise cellars. A man named John Henry Wilson,. who was attending to the still, was taken before the magistrate at Worship-street, and committed to the Bose of. Correction for three months, in default of payment of the 301. penalty. It was the third conviction of the kind that had.taken place at the same police-court in the course of the week. THE ARREST OF ABSCONDING DEBTORS.—Yester day some amendments to the Bill to arrest absconding debtors were printed by order of the House of Lords. The object 'of this Bill is to enable creditors to arrest their debtors when there is reason to believe that they are about to abscond.,.: For the want of some such power property is made away with before the parties can be captured. The Bill is to be further considered in the House of Lords on Friday.: SUB•MARINE TELEGRAPH.—A company has been formed for the purpose of organizing a regwar communica tion by sub-marine telegraph between England and France. It will be recollected that last autumn an experiment was made which, as far as it tested the prac.icability of the un dertaking, was quite satisfact or y ; ow i ng, h owever , to t h e slenderness of the line, the wire with the gutta percha cover ing not, being inure than half an inch in diameter, it was found to be badly calculated for a certain permanent com munication, and ihe new company proposes to remedy this by encasing the wire in a covering capable of resisting the action pf the anchors of the largest ahi p e. Mr. Jacob Brett, who laid the line down from Dover to Cape Grinez last au tumn, has obtained fro.ti the hrench Government the exclu sive right to carry on sub. marine communications between England and France for ten years; and all his rights are to be vested in the company. The success of the c ompany is totinerely a question of national but European interest, and *re all look forward with interest to the day when, by its means, a conversation can be carried on between London and Paris, or with the difference of a s econd or two betwee n Liverpool and Trieste. CHARITABLE PURCHASE DEEDS Bill has been brought into the House of Commons, by Mr. Mullings, Mr. Coles, and Mr. Heald, " for further remedying a defect in the titles of lands purchased for charitable purposes, and for ob viating difficulties as to copvhold or customary landsc!?_r;i: f veyed for such purposes." the principal cla uses of he 811 are to the effect, that purchase deeds of lands f or charitable purposes should be valid, although formalities of the Mort main Act should not have been complied "with; that bona fide purchases for charitable uses should not 1)2 void merely by reason of reservations, &c., to the grantor; but oth er formalities and requisitions will not be dispensed with, and the Act will not dispense with formalities in future deeds. In the case of copyholds or customary hereditaments being made over to charitable purposes, it will be sufficient Oat such charitable uses be declared by some deed forming part of the transaction, and properly attested and enrolled. The Act will not extend to deeds avoided by suits. MERCHANT SEAMEN.—The accounts of the corpo ration for the relief of mercant seamen and their widows and children tor the year 18. 7 ,0 have been published. The amount of duty from London vessels amounted to 10,5801., and that from vessels of other ports to 6,3711. The total gross receipts were 18,9051., and the amoun t p ro d uce d f rom th e Old South Sea Annuities, 2,8651. The pensicns paid amounted to 18,8781., and the temporary relief to 1,8591. The cost of mauagemeat was 2,4481.

Madlle. Rachel, and she played the part of Aoxane, in Bajazet. The character of Roxane is a compound' of imperious haughtiness, combined with the most bitinc , and sarcastic irony; and Madlle. Rachel delivered' the cutting sarcasms with which the part abounds with the most withering effect, whilst she was, at the same time, the most fierce and imperious of tyrants. She played with immense power, and made every point tell most effectively. The house was crowded, and the perform ance was applauded to the echo. ROYAL PraNCESS'S THEATRE. A five act version, by. Mr. Slous, the author of the Templar, of Alexandre Dumas' illiademoiselle de Belle isle, which was some few years since tine. of Madlle. Plessy's most popular impersonations it the St. James's Theatre, and in which Idadlle Rachel is, we are told, shortly to appear, was produced at the ROyal Princess's last night, under the title of the Duke's Wager. This is not, however, the first adaptation of this, play that has apppeared on the English stage. Some . ten or twelve years since a version of it was produced at Drurye lane, under the title of A Night in the Bastille, on which oceasiun poor Elton and Mrs. Stirling suse tained the characters which were last night per formed by Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean. The scene is laid at Chantilly during the early part of the reign of Louis XV., and at the opening of the play we find the Duke de Richelieu (Mr. Altred Wigan) on a visit to the Marchioness de St. Prie (Mrs. Winstauley), formerly a flame of his, but which said flame has long since, so , far as he is concerned, been extinguished. In the very recklessness of prk fligacy he offers a bat .to the young nobles, by whom helis surrounded, that he will induce the first lady they , meet to grant him an asSignation in her chamber at midnight. Now it so happens that the first lady they meet is Mademoiselle Lestelle de Belle Isle (Mrs. Charles Kean), who has ' come to Chantilly to solicit the aid of the. Marchioness de, St. Prie in obtaining for her an interview with her father the Marquis de Belle Isle, who is confined in the Bas tille; the Marchioness, who has her own reasons for seeking an interview with Richelieu, procures for Les telle an order to visit the Bastille, and when Lestelle has eat off for Paris meets Richelieu in Leitelle's eheathet. This trick of comedy, however, threatens to end very tragically, for L-on St. Mars (Mr. Charles Kean), the betrothed of Lestelle, has seen Richelieu deeeending at midnight from the window of the cLatnter occu pied by Lestelle, and having known of the bet and staked his honour on the fidelity of his ladye love, he becomes in a state of frenzy. He seeks Lestelle and taxes her with her infidelity, she indignantly denies the , accusation and appesis to Richelieu, who coolly says that certainly the interview did take place, but that if the lady desires it he will for htr sake deny it. The un- , .fortunate Lestelle, conscious of her own innocence, yet not daring to reveal where she had passed the night, sinks senseless to the ground overcome by the agony of her feelings. This scene was admirably acted; the cool nonchalance of Wigan, as Richelieu, contrasting with and setting off most effec tively the intensely impassioned acting of Mr; and Mrs. Charles Kean. St. Mars then chill lenges.Riehelieu, bat the arrangement is overheard, and both are arrested and not released until & promise has been extorted from each that the proposed duel shall not take place. St. Mars is not,.however, to be baulked of his revenge, and he proposes that they shall throw the dice to ascertain who of the two shall commit suicide. The offer is accepted and St. Mara loses; Richelieu treats the whole as a joke, but St. Mars prepares to die; he pays a last: visit to Lestelle; but in the meantime a change of Ministry has taken place, her father is: released from the Bastille, and restored to high office, there is no longer any necessity for secresy, and every thing is explained. St. Mars, however, still feels him aelf bound, as a man of honour, to commit suicide, and a highly-wrought scene ensues between him .and Les telle, which is, however, brought to a conclusion by the entrance of the Duke de Richelieu, who acknowledges that he had been mistaken in supposing that he bad had an interview with Madlle. de Belle Isle, and satisfies the sensitive St. Mars that there is n6' 1 neces sity whatever for him to commit suicide ; an opinion in which St. Mars seems to agree, and so commits matrimony instead. The translator lies judfdis ously elaborated the tragical portions of the original and kept down the light parts, thus making an interesting dra;na out of what was originally intended as a high comedy. The pathetic and impassioned acting of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Kean carried the play triumphantly through, 'and its announcement for repetition was re ceived with enthusiastic applause by a house crowded to the ceiling. At the conclusion Mr. and Mai. Charles Kean were called on. The mounting of the play was perfect AMERICAN NEWS. ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC. LIVER PU OL, WEDNESDAY. We have received by the arrival in the Mersey this evening of the Liverpool and United States mail steam,ahip • Arctic, Luce Commander, from New York, our usual dispatches from that city of the 24th ult. She . encountered fine weather during her runs and arrived in the river at i 20 P.M., bringing 160 passengers, 470,000 dolls. specie on freight, and the usual mails. The United States mail steam-sbip Baltic, Com stock 'with Liverpool mails of the 14th ult., arrived out 'at New York-on the '24th, at 530 p.m., after a remarkably fast run of 10 days 12 hours and 40 mi nutes, mean_time. The United States mail steam-ship Ohio, with _ _ _ 1,250,000 dolls. specie on freight, the San Francisco mail of April 15th, Chagres mails of the 14th ult., and Havannah of the I7th, arrived at New York on the night of the 21st; and the N. Scott, with .19,724 dolls. specie on freight, on the 22d ult. From the , United States our political accounts by this arrival are not important, except as they prove the growing popularity of the Hon. D. Webster as a candidate for the Presidency. He had delivered at Buffalo several splendid orations, advocating the cause of Union. Letters from Baltimore of the 22d ult. state that twenty-five men arrested in Florida as Cubs conspi rators WA arrived there, and add that during the previous month 1,500 suspicious men had been on the coast, but bad disperi.ed. The United States Cabinet had published the new apportionment table of representatives under the new census; 'it gives New York thirty-two members. A clipper ship of large tonnage was about to be built in- NeW York for British capitalists, in order to meet . the cornpetitiou in the China trade. The screw steam- ship City of Pittsburg, for the . Philadelphia and Liverpool station, would be launched at NeW. Yurk in four weeks. Mr. Martin F. Tupper and M. Cabet, the Icarian philosopher are passengers to Liverpool in the Ar c tic. Advices. from Boston of the 23d ult. say the Hon. Caleb Cushing haS introduced into the Legislature a Bill to aid hi the construction of the European and North American Railway, authorising an issue of State scrip to the amount , of 500,000, dollars, hear ing interest at the rate of 5 per cent. per annum, payable semiannually, and the principal redeemable in twenty years, for the use and benefit of the said road whenever it shall be organized, with 1,000,000 stock. sp:bseribed .for 'and 500,000 dolls. paid in. The State of Maine has made a similar grant of 500,000 dolls. in money scrip, or an equivalent form, satisfac tory to the Governor and Council. It was thought there the Bill would pass. Letters from Toronto of the 23d ult. announce that the Government bad on that day suffered a defeat in the Legislative Assembly, in . resisting a motion to introduce a Bill for preventing the expenditure of public money not previcusly authorised by the Par liament, and for restraining the granting of pensions. It was the first diviiion of the session, and the votes stood 26 to 25. The address in answer to the Royal Speech was carried without a division. A boy had been carried over the Niagara Falls. Letters from Ohio (three days later) of the 18th of April state that Brazil had declared the slave•trade piracy, but give no details. Letters from Tehuantepec, Mexico, received at New Orleans, state that the Mexicans had refused to allow the landing of cargo of the United States. Other' accounts state that great excitement prevailed, and that the-passengers by an American steamer had been detained. Accounts from the city of Mexico of the 3d , received in New York via New Orleans, by tele graph, eonfirm the report, but give no information on the affairs of Mexico. Other letters from the capital of Mexico, dated the 26th of April, and Vera Cruz the Ist ult., state that a loan from the United States Government was in . contemplation. The Universal of the 24th of April says : " The House of Representatives approved yesterday the resolution taken by the_Senate to grant 80 days' re • spite to the committee of both branches to try to effect arrangements of compromise with the publi c creditors." 1.133 Cabinet of Alexico have granted a respite of six months to the company which was engaged to establish the line of wires for a magnetic telegraph communicating between Vera Cruz and Mexico.

We will now, add the names of Mr. Robert Roxby, stage manager of the Lyceum, and Mr. Beverley, the artist to that establishme,nt. They. are both men of considerable talent, and although of different names, their parentage is the same. CLACKMANNAN AND KINROSS ELECTION.—The nomination of candidates to supply the vacancy created - is these united counties by the death of General Morison, took place on Tuesday at Dollar, where an immense assemblage of peolile were collected from all the neighbouring towns and villages, the greatest interest being excited in Mr. Adam, younger, of Blair-Adam, and Mr. Johnstone, of Alva. She riff Tait having read the writ, Mr. Haig, of Dollarfield, se, conded by Mr. Morrison, of Smithfield, proposed' Mr. John stone ; and Mr. Stein of Hattonburn, seconded by Captain Christie. proposed Mr. Adam. , The two candidates then ad dressed the electors at great length. Both professed them . - selves to be Liberals and Free-traders, and were loudly cheered by their respective partisans. A show of hands was then taken by the Sheriff, which was declared to be in fa vour of Mr. Johnstone. A poll was demanded, and the polling is fixed for Thursday and Friday. The contest will be a very keen one. PRICE Or REFRESHMENTS AT THE EXHI/3iT2ON.— The following incident is stated to have occurred on one of f. : the shilling day" last week:--'' A group of French artifi- Cers of a superior kind —apparently goldsmiths and jewellers, from the attention which they paid to the tlisplay of British manufacture from Storr and Mortimer's, and Morel's, and from the criticism they passed on it, moved towards the• door ; and one of . them, mustering up his best English, in quired, ' Am I defended , to return once mores?'

THURSDAY EVENING, LITERATURE. REMLIVISENCES of ,a IVAVAL OFFICER, during the late War, with Sketches and Anecdotes of Distinguished Commanders._; By Captain Cranford, Much as hes been said and published upon the mighty ; events which will one day make the history of the wars in Europe, at the end of the last and the commencement of the present century, one of unsurpassed interest, not ,only by the many heroic deeds which crowded upon one another in a comparatively short period of time, but also by the number of truly great men whose talents were then brought into play, and whose. efforts :achieved for them a noble and imperishable fame,—we must needs admit that there are innumerable instances of deeds" worth recording and unrecorded, of men almost un- Acnown, however deserving of a statue in the temple of immortality, and how could it be - otherwise, when so many rush on in the same course, performing in mag nanimous emulation acts which, if taken singly would be deemed sublime, but which must yield in the aggregate to those of the fortunate winner of the race, which, in such oases is not 'merely to the swift, but 'to the first among the swift! It behoves us, then, not to be un mindful of the noble efforts of those who, but for one smile the less from the fickle goddess, Fortune, might have been in the proud situation that all aim at, while one alone carries off the palm. - It is with such rt fleetions, and with a feeling ranging . -between admiration for the noble and daring spirit of the actors in the drama before us, and the strange yet natural satisfaction of knowing that we were dealing with mortals somewhat less elevated above our ordinary sphere, that we read the above work by Captain Craw , ford, and from the dignified yet unassuming tone which pervades its pages, we are inclined to think he will side with us in the view we take of the subject. The inci dents, he narrates, th oug h i nsepara bl e t ram t he most me morable events of the last great European war, are, though full of interest, subordinate to the main action. The men to whom, we are introduced, are for the most part second in command to those More fortunate leaders, who have deservedly and universally been pro nounced the heroes of their times, and we fully parti- ' cipate in what we deem the writer's feeling that some thing, nay much, is due to those who . by a zealous dis charge of the duties intrusted to them, have so mainly contributed to the successful issue of the contest, and he invites our sympathy, our gratitude for their often un requited, at least as regards renown, noble deeds. Let us then for a moment follow the writer of, these 'volumes, we had well nigh said the hero, from his ad mission into the service, to that portion of his life in which he closes his narrative. First, we find him a mid shipman in his Majesty's service; exchanging the,scenes of a quiet peaceful home for the hardships-of life at sea, passing through the long and painful ordeal of that un enviable station, with: patient endurance and nntired energy, and right pleased we are in time to find him capering with joy (a not very heroio process, but a very natural one) at receiving from my Lords of the Admiralty the glad tidings of his promotion to' the rank and station of a lieutenant and .a gentleman. With him we cruise, fight, explore, land where and when we can (an amphibious animal is the sailor), and after a variety of adventures of all kinds, a glance at some of the great actors in the mighty struggle which placed this country in her present proud position at land and sea, we at last congratulate him on his promotion to the rank of commander, and can but praise the noble feeling which induced him to record the fact, that' to the spirited advocacy of his claims by a supexior, he was in debted for that reward of his exertions, a circumstance equally honourable to both parties. Thus, then, we consider this work a fair tribute paid in many instances to unknown merit, and we rejoice to AO.* it anecdotes and particulars highly interesting from their illustrating or revealing many peculiarities of the service, to which public attention should be directid, and finally we re commend it as an amusing, compeniOnable book, and whose least merit is not that it is well written. Indeed we cannot but admire the talent displayed in this re spect, by men whose whole time and best energies have so long and exclusively been devoted to a career which could hardly be supposed to foSter and,eneourage. a taste for literature. JUNE- COURT OF. COMMON COUNCIL. HER MAJESTY'S EXPECTED VISIT TO .THE CITY. Yesterday a special court was held for the purpose of receiving from the committee in relation to. the Great Exhibition "a report, with a plan and estimate for fitting up the.

The court was crowded with members. • • All strangers were excluded, in accordance with the practice adopted upon occasions when matters connected with the Sovereign are taken into consideration.
