In pursuance of the reso lutions passed at that meeting, an address to the Queen had been also moved, with a portion only of which he would trespass on the House. Mr. S. HERBERT—If the Right Hon. Baronet will allow ma I will save him some trouble. I distinctly refused to sign the address because I did not concur with it.—(Hear.) Sir G. GREY said the part which he was about reading agreed wonderfully with the resolution to which he had al ready alluded.—(Hear and laughter.) It had been moved by Mr. Sotheron that a petition should be presented to the Houses of Lords and Commons, and that petition had been equally condemnatory of the assumption of the Pope. Now, if the Right Hon. Gentleman dissented from those docu ments there was no record of his dissent in the report of the proceedings before him.—(Hear, hear.) Therefore he (Sir G. Grey) did not think the Right Hon. Gentleman was the safest possible guide in that matter.— (Hear and laughter.) He came then to the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon (Sir James Graham) who had spoken of the act and the language of the Pope as arrogant and assuming in the ex treme, and had said that it was such a matter as the Go vernment could not pass over unnoticed. But though the Right Hon. Baronet had expatiated at great length upon the subject, he had never told them the course which he, occupy ing the distinguished position which he did, would advise the House to pursue.—(Hear, hear.) The Hon. Member for Abingdon, indeed, recommended the revival of the old statutes of I ,mm...ire ; but that was a proceeding which the law officers of the Government did not feel disposed to re commend or to adopt, although they believed the introduc tion of that Papal brief was a violation of the statute law of the land. The Hon. Gentleman who last addressed the House had recommended diplomatic agency, with a distinct intima tion that war was not to be the result ; but even if they had a diplomatic agent at Rome, all he could do would he to re commend the withdrawal of the brief a matter which the Roman Catholic Members had told them was impossible. The Hon. Member for Plymouth, in the course of his speech, passed by several essential differences which he ought to recollect. The organization of which he spoke did not pro ceed from a foreign Power. But yet, on that occasion it did proceed from a foreign Power, and that, to s without any communication with, or the approval of, the sovereign of the realm. It had been characterised by a mix ture of a temporal and spiritual jurisdiction. An other point was the claim of universal dominion which distinguised the Papal authority from that of all other bodies of religionists. He would ask any man who read the documents, whether there was not a claim to exercise a temporal and a civil jurisdiction as well as a spiritual one ? ( Hear.) It was impossible to reject that consideration It was because that was the act of a foreign power, parcelling out this country into certain divisions, without the authority or consent of the Sovereign—it was that which had roused the spirit of the people of this coun try, and which induced them, like our ancestors, to take mea sures to guard the independence of this nation against the aggression of any foreign power. In no country in Europe did the interference of the Pope take place without being in accordance with the State, or in - virtue of some direct municipal law authorising such interference. The Right Hon. Gentleman the Member for the University of Oxford (Mr. Gladstone) had cited various periods of history in which vicars-apostolic had been requested to be changed, but such had never taken place without the sanction and interference of the British Government. That project had been entertaiced for a long time, but it had never been agreed to without the imposition of such conditions as would prevent the encroachments or assumptions of the see of Rome. The Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Ripon had said that on a former occasion Sir J. Hippesley, being in communication with the Government and Roman Catholics ha this country, had applied to the Pope to substitute bishops for vicars-apostolic, which had been refused at the time. The facts of the case were incorrectiy stated, unintentionally, he had no doubt, by the Right Hon. Bar no'. But even had it been as described, that would aye been no precedent for what had been done. In the records of the year 1812 he could find no trace of the matter referred to. But be believed he had found upon what the Right Hon. Baronet's statement had been based. In a speech which Sr J. Hip pesley made in 1812 upon a motion of Mr. Grattan's for a Committee of the whole House on the Catholic claims, he had entered into a detail of a communication which he had had some years before with Rome ; but in those negotiations there had been strict conditions attached ; and they had been carried on on the principle of perfect do mestic security from all foreign encroachment. Sir J. Hip pioiley had always pointed to a veto as indispensable in any arrangemeurs which might be made. But were they now to be told that the Pope was justified in adopting only that part of the proposition which might suit his own view, without any reference to the conditions which had been originally attached to it.—(Hear, hear.) With respect to the position of the Roman Catholic Church, it should rower be forgotten that that Church, unlike the Wesleyan Conference and the various Dissenting bodies in this country, claimed dominion over every baptised person. It was nothing to say that that was an empty claim. The time might come when, under favourable circumstances with the Church of Rome, unchanging and unchangeable, they might yet see a Marian persecution. In pressing forward that measure they were acting in strict conformity with the Act of 1829, which extended full religious equality to our Roman Catholic fellow-subjects, while it did not leave them exempt from all restraint in their connexion with the see of Rome. Ile was sloe that the distinguished men who had mainly contributed to the attainment of Roman Catholic emancipation, had never thought of debarring themselves from the tight of asserting the independ ence of this nation against the encroachments of Papal power, as it had been asserted in every period a Bi of our history.—(Hear, hear.) He said that that was ll opposed to the principle of religious freedom, and one tending to coerce Roman Catholics. It had been said that the Go vernment would be bound to vote against the first clause of that Bill, because in Ireland the adoption of the first clause would have the same effect as if the twe other clauses had been retained in the measure. Now, he said that that was a statement unsupported by proof, and in any case he believed that the Roman Catholics in Ireland had very little reason to feel thankful to the Hon. and Learned Member for Athlone (Mr. Keogh) for the ingenuity he had displayed in attempt ing to show that they were fettered by a clause in the Eman cipation Act in a manner which had not been previously ima gined. It had been frequently said in the course of these debates that that was a quarrel originating in the jealousy entertained by the prelates of the Established Church towards the newly-created Catholic hierarchy. But the petitions to that House, and the addresses to the Crown, which had been presented from laymen in every part of the country, clearly showed that the feeling which existed upon the subject was one of a national character, and that both Churchmen and Dissenters had felt that aggression, not in their merely reli gions capacities, but as Eng,riishmen, animated by the same spirit which had induced their forefathers to impose barriers against the encroachments of the see of Rome.-- (Hear, hear, and cries for a division.) The Right Hon. Gentleman op posite (Mr. Gladstone) had tsunted his Noble Friend at the head of the Government with having deserted upon that oc casion the liberal sentiments he had enunciated on the hust ings of the city of London. But let him tell the Right lion. Gentleman that the citizens of London had, in their ad dress to the Throne, clearly expressed their views upon that question, and that while avowing their uncompromising ad herence to the principles of civil and religious liberty, th e y had asked,in the name of that very liberty that some measure should be adopted for the purpose of putting a restraint on the exercise of a foreign authority in these realms.—(Hear, hear, and cries for a division.) In conclusion he should say that these territorial titles, which were said to be but empty names, were the badges and symbols of a jurisdiction claimed to be exercised by the sole and undivided authority of the Court of Rome. What her Majesty's Government asked them to do was to place the brand of illegality on those badges and symbols. They might reject that Bill in accord ance with the recommendation and the hopes of his R ght Hon. Friend the Member for Ripon and of those who acted with him, without any alternative measure having been offered to them. They might encourage the Court of Rome to fresh acts of aggression, and lead to the belief, as asserted by Cardinal Wiseman and others, that the feeling of the country upon the subject was only a temporary and popular effervescence. They might create what he felt convinced would be a false impression—that the Commons of England were indifferent to the honour of the Crown and the inde pendence of the nation. But in pursuing that course they might excite throughout the country that great religious war which the Hon. Member for Liverpool seemed so eager to rush into, but which he (Sir G. Grey) for one most ear nestly deprecated. They might reject that measure, and by that means contributed to the introduction of a new Bill, "ith far more stringent provisions; b ut he sincerel y trusted ut they would, on the contrary, maintain on that occasion the character handed down to them by their ancestors, and ra a ,acifeat a legitimate jealousy of foreign interference in the affairs of this country. He believed that by passing that Bill by a large and decisive majority, they would best consult the honour of the Sovereign, the independence of the country, arid the sacred cause of civil and religious liberty.— (Cheers, and cries for a division, mingled with calls for Mr. Hatchell, followed by some laughter.) The Earl of AItuNDEL and SURREY here rose, but was informed by The SPEAKER that h e h ad not then a r i ght to ad d ress the House, as he bad already spoken in moving the amend ment. Mr. S. HERBERT said he wish ed to say a few words upon a matter which related to himself personally, and which had been referred to by the Rightt on- Baro ne t th e S ecre t ar y For the Home Depart m ent. i which Ri ght lion. Baronet had read two documents for he e had held h im Il Herbert) responsible. So w he had objected to th e fi i r r s ' t S o f . these documents, and he had never even heard of the other it e, until it had been read by t h e Right Honourable B having, as he supposed, been adopted after he had left the meeting. What he had done was to have moved the reso lution which the Right Hon. Baronet had read.— (Loud cries of " Hear, hear.") He stood by that resolution; but ha had also endeavoured to point out to the meeting, as he had endeavoured to point out to the House, that a spiritual aggression ought to be met by spiritual means, and not by Acts of Parliament.—(hear, hear.) Mr. P. HOWARD rose, amidst loud groans, and cries for a division, which for some time rendered him unable to ad dress the House. lie said that he did not mean to reply at that moment at any length to the obsery tions of the Right Hon. Baronet the Secre ary for the Home • Department. But he should at once protest most indignantly against the imputation that the Catholics of England and the sister coumtry claimed by the institution of a hierarchy any tem poral authority. And still more indignantly should he pro test against the statement of the Right Hon. Baronet, that he was about to place a brand upon one-third of the inhabi tants of the British empire.—(Hear, hear, and cries for a division.) With that notice of what had tallen from the Riglet Hon. Baronet, he should for the moment be satisfied. On the motion for going into Committee on the Bill he shouid probably take the liberty of expressing at length his opinions upon the whole question. - --(Renewed cries for a di visical.) Sir G. GREY said that his Hon. Friend had misunder stood him. He had not said anything about branding one third of his fellow-subjects.

Mr. GLADSTONE admitted that the language used by Cardinal WISEMAN was offensive, yet he had done nothing but what was perfectly legal. There fore he was opposed to any legislation on the subject. He considered that if we felt ourselves aggrieved by any act of the POPE, the proper course to have pursued would have been to have dispatched a diplomatic agent to Rome. This appointment of a hierarchy was a spi ritual matter, with which Parliament had no right to interfere, and was calculated rather to diminish the power of the POPE than to increase it. Mr. DISRAELI denied that the POPE was so powerless as had been represented; he possessed an army of a million priests, always ready to obey his commands. He considered that if synodal action was permitted to the Church of Rome it should also be permitted to the Church of England. He should vote for the second reading of the Bill, but would not pledge himself to support the third reading unless the measure should be rendered much more stringent in Committee. Sir G. GREY replied, and after a few words from Mr. P. HOWARD the House divided, when there appeared— For the second reading ... 438 Against it ... 9 5 Majority in favour of the Bill ... —343 The Bill was then read a second time, and ordered to be committed on Monday. The House adjourned to Thursday. At length the weary debate on the motion for the second reading of the Ecclesiastical Titles Assump tion Bill has been brought to a conclusion, and at three o'clock this morning the representatives of the Commons of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, in Parliament assembled, determined, by a majority of 438 votes to 95, that they would not tamely permit their SOVEREIGN to be insulted or their country to be oppressed by the partizans of absolutism and obscurantism, the agents of Austria and of Rome. The tone of the debate last evening was of a much more manly. much more energetic, and much more sa• - isfactory character than has been that of any debate preceding. The speeches of Sir F.

EMILE DE GIRARDIN for the return of the BOURBONS Lord JoHN RUSSELL, the other day, declared hie concurrence with LocKE and MILTON, and HAMPDEN and PrM. Will he, casting aside all other considerations, be in this nine• teenth century what HAMPDEN, and Bras and MILTON, and LOCKE were in the sixteentl century ? Will he' be the leader of the great Pro, -testant movement .? If he will, the Protestant peoplo of these realms will follow him to " thi last gasp with truth and loyalty," but if he hesitate , they will at once cast him off, for in this controversy w€ all feel that he " who is not for us is against us."

CONSECRATION OF THE BISHOP OF NOVA SCOTIA. —The ceremony of the consecration of Dr. Binney, of Wor cester College, Oxford, to the bishopric of Nova Scotia and its dependencies, was performed yesterday morning in the chapel of Lambeth Palace. The service was performed by the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of London, Chi chester, and Oxford ; the Rev. Dr. Binney (father of the new bishop), the Rev. Dr. Gonldburn, and the Rev. Mr. Thomas, chaplain to the Archbishop. The whole of it was conducted in the most simple manner, no chanting or singing, but every part read—very different from the "histrionic' manner, as it has been called, of performing the services of the Church in other places. The chapel was pretty well filled with visitors, among whom were many clergymen. FATAL BOILER EXPLOSION AT MANCHESTER.— About three o'clock yesterday afternoon a boiler burst in Riga-street, Manchester, which has caused, there is reason to fear, a serious loss of life. The building was a factory, rented by Mr. W. C. Williamson from Mr. Hardman, who sublet it, with steam power supplied by a 30-horse boiler, working a 25-horse power steam-engine. The building was applied to various purposes, and about 50 persons were em ployed in the whole by the several tenants. As we have stated, the explosion took place about three o'clock, and at the time our parcel left the whole neighbourhood was a scene of the utmost alarm and confusion, and it was impos sible to obtain in time any very clear or connected account of the accident. Oae man had been taken out dead, and the persons employed in searching the ruins had just dis covered a second man frightfully mutilated. Four persona had been conveyed to the Infirmary badly wounded, and two of them, it was feared, could scarcely survive the in juries they had sustained. At the time this report left it was not accurately known how many people were among the ruins. The engineer escaped and was seen to creep through a window of the lower stdry soon after the explo sion. The boiler was upon the high pressure principle, and at the time it burst the engine had been stopped to repair a strap. SHORT SPEECHES IN PARLIAMENT.—Among the new rules which have been established for the conduct of the business of the New Brunswick House of Assembly, is one which limits the duration of each member's speech, 011 any particular queatioa, to half an hour.

The market was steady, and prices 1 4d. higher than on Friday last.—Railway shares were flat. The letters by the Avon steamer from the West Indies were delivered yesterday afternoon. The question of meeting the liabilities of the colony had been much discussed in the Legislature, and there was obviously an imperative necessity for taxation. A local journalist remarks : " It seems to us quite certain that there is no way of avoid ing increased taxation if the affairs of the island are to be put into a satisfactory condition, and the only question is as to the kind of taxation which ought to be resorted to. There would appear, nevertheless, to be a disposition in some members to reduce rather than to increase the revenue of the island. Thus, for example, a notice has been given for instruction to the Committee on the Rum Bill to fix the duty on that article at ls. 6d. per gallon instead of 2s. as at present. The latter duty was imposed in consequence of the deficiency in the revenue. In the report which has been submitted to the House by the committee, of which Mr. Smith was chairman, it is recommended not only that any augmentation of past evils by any future annual expenditure being per mitted to be in excess of revenue should be guarded against, but that some immediate and comprehensive means of putting the ascertained liabilities of the island on a satiefactory footing should be devised with a view to the gradual and ultimate liquidation of the entire debt. In order to this, a sinking fund of 10,2751. per annum has been declared necessary, and this fund, notwi h standing that the principal was recognised in the Loan Act, it is now thought by some members might be dispensed with. The committee also assumed that if the arrears of in terest are paid up, and satisfactory provision made for this charge in future, her Majesty's Government will not object to the amount due to them being included in the general ar rangement." A schooner was running between New Grenada and King ston, and it was hoped would be sufficiently supported to keep up a regular communication with the Spanish Main. On the whole, the weather in the colonies was favourable. Accounts from Havannah state that not more than two thirds of the sugar estates pay enough, beyond the hire of the negroes employed, to yield more than interest on the other capital invested, and the taxation upon imports and exports deprived the planter of the advantages which he otherwise would enjoy. It is stated that of late the Government have increased the tax on the sugar exported, without any diminution of duties on the imports received in exchange. The export duty on sugar was formerly 37i emits. per hny—tho new imposition is of an additional 50 cents. This new duty has been iarinvtl out for 750,000 dolls. per annum, bythe Government. The official returns for 1850 will show about 1,200,000 boxes exported. At the rate imposed, this new duty would yield the Govern ment about 600,000 dolls. The contractor who pays 750,000 dolls. for the privilege of collecting it well knows that the actual amount exported will be nearer 2,500,0U0 boxes than 1,200,000. The contractor and the exporters have, it will readily be seen, a joint interest in defrauding the Government. No, it is not considered as a fraud here, inasmuch as the Government has openly made its bargain, relinquishing the chances of getting even less than it has re ceived from him, knowing well that its heavy , impositions of duties make it the interest of all parties to cheat Govern ment when it attempts to collect those impositions itself. "The contractor wishes the amount returned officially as exported, to be less than it actually is, in order that Govern ment and others may not know his profits by the contract. The exporter wishes to be relieved from a portion of his burden of duties to pay. For an exportation of 3,000 boxes he will perhaps enter 2,000. For the 1,000 he com promises with the contractor, by paying half rates. The Customs official is perhaps silenced by a douceur, which is clear profit to him. "So is it with importations; a portion is entered, say one-half. The officer is verbally informed of the pre sence of the remaining portion of the merchandise. This, of course, is open to arrangement. That arrangement has become a settled matter. Of the duty on that portion one-third is withheld by the consignee, one-third is paid over by him to the Customs officer, and one-third is retained by the Custom-house broker, through whose hands all this business of entering goods is done, as it is, to a great extent, in New York. "It is no uncommon thing to see these Custcm-house in spectors and Cu'tom-house brokers, living in a style involving an expenditure of 5,000 or 6,000 dollars a year, while inspec tor's salaries are less than one thousand, and the brokers' regular commissions certainly not much mote." In the Amsterdam Market, on the 24th instant, Dutch Stock was more in request at 57h for Dutch Two-and-a- Half per Cents. Spanish Five per Cents. are higher. Mexi can Bonds are firm. There has been an exceedingly dull market for Public Securities, and the wet weather, combined with the slow progress of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, has restricted business even more than must under any circum stances have been the case, while the transfer books are shut.

The market now is a little flatter, upon a report that bad news has arrived from the Cape of Good Hope, but the date is old, we believe. The Foreign Market has been quiet. Spanish Five per Cents. are 21 1 % to 21%, and the Three per Cents. 38%. Mexican Bonds have realized 33 1 4 to 33%. Dutch Two and-a-Half per Cents. are 58%. Railway Shares have not moved to any extent this morn ing. Arrangements are being made for carrying over, as to morrow is settling day, and prices are generally flatter, the French lines suffering most. QUARTER TO THREE ... 961 961 Consols ...

The English playgoing public had last night for the fire__ L t , time an opportunity of judging what the haute _ST;M: of the French stage really is. The chef d'ceuvre cf.-07101,7.. the immortal Tartuffe, was represented for the first timln dp o'enedrather entirety before an English audience, dagilerr e ",- 7 . - - va n to than translated, by Mr. John Oxenford, who " a '? his version all the freshness and freedom of an originfl, fidelitv. preserving at the same time the most scrupulous intro There is not a line, a thought, or a sentiment . n a llne, a which is not to he found in the original, neither is in _l_ thought, a sentiment of the original omitted, fay.e )Drina . 0 1 1 ; instance, in which two lines from the part of Dorm nay eduction while been most judiciously omitted, as their intr .._.„ might have been dangerous. The plot of the - 11 0/ 2 ".7.7. is taken from that of Tartuffe; but the treatment is _e a ssei.; tially different. We have not in the Tartuffe any ch . cal; ter analogous to the farcical Maww orm, whilst in _n_ Hypocrite the character of Dorine , t hat model of s o brettes, is entirely omitted; besides, th ere is lin e r; of coarseness pervading the whole play of the 11 , 0°,, 12 4 which contrasts most unfavourably w ith the refinement a ~_ elegance of the chef d'ceuvre of M o liere. The cotedY 1 ./. performed precisely as it would have been performed .at..0111o; Theatre Francais, the whole action took Place 3ll llo , 4r elegantly furnished room, and the - drop on! di. fell ; a few bars of music alone marking the .: .-,.. e ast :-.- vision of the acts.

Mr. Webster hadnii himself upon the best French models, ; t h e Tartuffe was as perfect a reproduction 01 , ~i',.. best acting of the French stage as the version of ": Ive Oxenford is of the best of French comedies. 111 Fn • re.. doubt whether, since the death of Perlet , a nd the / 1 " - wo • th tirement of Samson, there is any comedian on ~the ; nan d. stage who could render the oily, insidious,,but seif-con d a red ing and not ill-bred Tartuffe, so well as it was ' r l tzw il.. by Mr. Webster last evening. The Dorine of Mrs. TlF•therto Liam is, to our thinking, the best of her characters. --I. she has been great in melodrama or farce ; her Dorill,,e Pl h i ng that she can be equally great in legitimate comedy. ~,rl . .dlirs could exceed the piquant smartness of her acting. ." 1 7, ht. at the hypocrisy of the Jesuit Tartuffe were all taken dr_,M the audience and applauded:to the echo, and at the coneln= the comedy was announced for repetition by Mr. W el94"". amidst enthusiastic applause. (From the Times.) A very novel experiment was last night made at this house—the production of an English vers ion of Molar!! Tartuffe, not lowered into the condition of the mite, but closely following the original, blank verse being a u stituted for the French Alexandrine. So literal is the re% dering that, with the exception of a short speech made /,. heighten the " exit" of Damis in the third act, v , e do 00v believe there is a single line not to be found in The manager, in putting the piece on the stage,_ has g ° ,.. 13 ,. t to work in the right way—transferring to the liarda r ' - , boards the usages of the Theatre Francais. The drop scene did not descend between the acts, but a few bars of 111 a sl : alone indicated the division; the one room in which the Molar% whole action takes place is fitted up witk characteristic ele gance, an imitation of an oak floor being one of the leading features, and the costumes were of the most recherche kind* We have had " Nights wi' Burns." This was roil,' 01 evening with Moliere. (From the Herald.) The Tartu f fe was brought out at this theatre last night, in precisely the same shape as it was written by Moliere. The production is professedly a translation, w hi c h task has b een undertaken by Mr. John Oxenford, who, whil adhering with scrupulous fidelity to the self-impese u rule of literalness, has not lost sight of elegance. As a lite' rary exercise irrespective of any histrionic object , this version of the chef d'ceuvre of the great Frenc h dramatist is entitled to no ordinary praise. The motil e which Moliere had in composing this admirable c omedy is well known through the medium of Bicker_; staffe's hypocrite, which, although immediately b orrow ed f r om Libber's Non Juror, owes its real origin to the Tarte There is in reality very little difference between Mae r' da play and the Mypocrite of our stage. The former is fe l l e l ev ated in its tone, and simply belongs to a bette r rant:',, composition, the English comedy wearing certain lineal ll = o f vulgarity assuredly not obtained from the original p.--a The Tartuffe attacked the affected piety of the re f g i. , „ h Louis the Fourteenth with a politer air than that wed "-- suffuses its well-known English offspring. The polish ease whish prevails throughout Moliere's comedy is, lil t i ever, well demonstrated in the unaltered version Per f ." ra d last night, in which its precise sentiment is close- 1 Y a ll vividly reflected.

The audie n ce s h o wed no signs of impatience dur i ng the sententious speeches o f Or g on a brother-in' but appla uded the strokes of worldly wisdom which the h ea rd, as well as those enu nciated by. others, with a quice . perception of their worth. The collision of the hypocrit e with Orgon in the fourth act, a capital dramatic surprise, produced the strongest possible sensation, and the app)atUle 1 was long and general. he action, we may add, takes plac e in an elaborate Louis Quatorze apartment, with which the costumes of the dramatis persona carefully coincide; and the French rule of not dropping the curtain between the acts is observed. The success of the comedy was complete; and Mr. Webster announced it for repetition, amid acclamations front eel parts of the house. (Front the Daily News.)

Sarah White was charged with being concerned in steal ing nineteen bottles of wine, the property of James Palmer, under the following circumstances : OM the 19th of last month, the prisoner, with several others, went to the tap-room of the prosecutor, and after stopping several hours, and only having three pints of beer , they, to the surprise of the landlord, became tipsy.. The next morning the landlord's attention was drawn to one of the boards in the tap-room, which was so loose that it could be lifted without any force being used. On going down stairs to the wine-cellar he found that nineteen bottles of sherry wine had been stolen. The wine was stacked close to the boards which had been lifted up. He then gave information to the police, who apprehended two men, who were remanded ; and the prisoner was yesterday taken. The prisoner having nothing to say in defence, The MAGISTRATE remanded the case until Thursday next. MR. BATTY'S HIPPODROME, KENSINGTON We paid a visit this morning to this establishment, now in the course of erection, and were astonished to see the rapidity with which the various works are progressing, which, taking into consideration the short time since it was begun, and the continual wet weather, appears hardly possible for so much to have been done under such disadvantages. While there we had the pleasure of seeing Mr. Barr, who has of late been exhi biting the sport of hawking in various provincial towns, and with whom, we are g,iven to understand, Mr. Batty has made an engagement, in:order to give due effect in reviving the an cient sports of our ancestors, which were so popular at the old baronial halls of England in the last century. Mr. Barr had half-a-dozen trained hawks with him, all "hooded and belled," and during our stay let fly one in pursuit of a pigeon. The power Mr. Barr exercises over his birds, by arresting their flight and recalling them to him, shows a skill in the art of falconry which can only have been at tained by a large amount of perseverance on his part. This attraction, with the assistance of Mr. Batty's unequalled stud, and the company dressed in characteristic costume, will enable him to portray to his visitors those ancient Eng lish sports so frequently described by Sir Walter Scott and other novelists, and which, with the Games of the Curricu lum and other Olympic, exploits, cannot fail to make this the most popular place of resort to the pleasure seekers of London during the forthcoming most extraordinary season. RESIGNATION OF LORD LANGDALE. In the Rolls' Court yesterday, after the hearing of some unopposed petitions, Mr. TURNER rose, and addressing Lord Langdale, said—ln consequence of his Lordship's intended resignation he was de sired publicly to express to his Lordship the anxious hopes of the bar that many years might be spared to him of happi ness in the bosom of his family. The bar and the whole profession were deeply indebted to his Lordship for the exertions he had made to simplify the proce-s and practice of the court, and to lessen delay. He (Mr. Turner) ab stained from entering into particulars, but those exertions had already led to many beneficial consequences, and would lead to more. Lord LANGDALE said, he confessed he was overpowered and deeply felt the kind expressions that had been made use of. If he could flatter himself that he merited what was so kindly attributed to him, it would be his highest reward, but that might not be. He was sensible of shortcomitgs. At a cooler moment a more rigid scrutiny would be made of his judieial character. The r,ports would show what he had done and what he had not done, and at the same time would ' show how greatly he had been assisted by the learning, the industry, and the integrity of the bar. Little did people who only looked upon the surface know how very little could be done by a judge without the honest co-operation of those most useful assistants, a learned and honourable bar. He had to express his gratitude for the greatest assistance from a bar of that character, and he retired with the strongest feeling of gratitude and respect. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

Several persons ran to the spot, when the premises were discovered to be a complete mass of ruins. At the time the voices of some females were heard. A body of men promptly set to work to extricate the sufferers. In a few minutes 11Irs. Mills was extricated, upon which it was ascertained that there were two more females in the ruins, a Mrs. Michael and her daughter. Further search was made, upon which a voice was heard, exclaiming " Break down the wall." The voice came from the front parlour, in which Mrs. Michael had been sleeping. The wall was knocked down by some men, who succeeded in dragging her out. Her (laughter, who slept in the two-pair, was afterwards ob sen-ed upon a bed, surrounded with bricks, tiles, and broken timber. The females were taken to a surgeon's in the neigh bourhood, where Mrs. Mills was found to have received a fracture of the right thigh and other severe injuries. She was immediately taken to the London( Hospital. The other females were ascertained to be but slightly hurt. The house is su;,posed to have been built ab ve 100 years.
