Lord J. RIISSELL gave notice of a motion for giving precedence to orders of the day over motions on Thurs days. He should not move the adjournment for Easter until the Tuesday in Passion-we t k. After an animated conversation on the case of Miss ¶tALBOT, the adjourned debate on the Ecclesiastical %less Assumption Bill was resumed. In the House of Lords, last night, ! 1 The Sale of Arsenic Bill was read a third time and pissed. The County Courts Extension Bill passed through Committee. Several petitions were presented, and their Lordships adjourned. In the Commons, Lord SEYMOUR said that it was intended to remove the trees from the interior of the Crystal Palace . prior to the opening of the Exhibition.

Mr. FAGAN opposed the Bill, which he regarded as an emanation of Protestant hate. Mr. SMYTHE considered the measure as a Bill of sham pains and penalties, to repel a sham Papal aggression. Mr. MONCKTON MILNES considered that an aggres sion had been committed, and would therefore support the measure. Mr. SA.DLEIR contended that the establishment of a local hierarchy was necessary to protect the Roman Ca tholics of England against, the designs of a bad or an ambitious POPE. He vindicated the appointment of Dr• COLLEN as Primate in Ireland. Mr. HENRY BERE.ELEY supported the Bill, but con sidered that the conduct of the POPE was excusable, when it was considered how strong were the temptations which had been held out to him by the Puseyite clergy of the Established Church. Puseyism was Popery in the chrysalis state. He trusted the Prime Minister would act up to the principles of the Durham letter, and bring in some measure to prevent the intro duction of strange and unprotestant doctrines into the Church. _ _ Sir J. YOUNG could not support the measure, which he considered an infringement on the principles of toleration. Mr. H. GRATTAN opposed the Bill, because it was the commencement of an anti-Irish system of legislation. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY protested against the lair guage which had been used by Mr. 11. DRUMMOND, and accused the Hon. Gentleman of believing in ghosts. He should support the measure. Lord CASTLEREACH considered the Bill as a measure that would satisfy nobody, and would render the go vernment of Ireland impossible. Mr. A. B. HOPE opposed the Bill. Mr. T. HOBHOUSE moved the adjournment of the debate, which was opposed, and on a division negatived by a majority of 350, the numbers being—ayes, 64; noes, 414. Mr. M. O'CoNNILL moved the adjournment of the House, but Lord J. Russzlz, having consented to adjourn the debate to this day, the motion was withdrawn. A discussion ensued on the question whether the debate should be renewed at noon or at the usual hour. A division was called, when there appeared — For twelve o'clock ... ... 306 For five o'clock ... ... ... 43 Majority ... ... ... —263 Some further discussion resulted in half-past four this day being fixed for the resumption of the debate. The Designs Act Extension Bill was read a second time, after a short discussion. The House adjourned at Two o'clock. The debate on the Ecclesiastical Titles Assumption Bill has again been adjourned. After a protracted dis cussion of eleven days, six on the question of leave to introduce the Bill, and five on its second reading, we find the Hon. Gentleman the Member for Mayo in forming the House, as a reason for further adjournment, that " the discussion should not bear the appearance of heat, haste, or hurry, and that it should proceed in the usual way." If that be the "usual way" in Parlia mentary proceedings, if it could be con sidered as symptomatic of either " heat, haste, or hurry" if the division had been then and there taken, we can feel no astonishment at the number of measures mutilated or withdrawn at the annual "massacre of the innocents." The only sub ject of surprise appears to be that any progress is made, or that any disputed questions are decided on in any year. We know not what the minority propose to them selves by these proceedings. They know the feelings of the country, and they must also know that there is an overwhelming majority of their brother representatives against them. If any doubt could have existed on that subject the divisions of last night must have completely removed them, and convinced even the most sceptical. In an unusually crowded House, in which 478 Members were present, there was a clear majority of 350 against any further postponement—the numbers being for the adjournment of the debate 64, against it 414 ; and on the second division, when the announce ment of the intended factious opposition had rapidly thinned the House, there was a majority of 263 on the question that the debate should be resumed at 12 o'clock this day. On both points, however, the large and overwhelming majorities were compelled to yield to the dictates of the tyrant minorities, and new illustrations were afforded of how completely a few persons, reckless of the estimation in which they may be held by their fellow-citizens, can obstruct the bu- of the country, and putt a total stop to every ueseripciun of Is this unquestionable grievance absolutely without remedy ? Must " the many" always succumb to "the few ;" and matters of the most vital consequence to the nation be delayed and procrastinated, if not totally set aside, through the wanton and reckless conduct of a small and insignificant clique? If, indeed, the salutary power vested in a minority of preventing a matter of real importance from being hurried through the House, or passed through one of its stages by surprise, should frequently be so griev ously abused, it will become necessary to change the ordinary rules and to restrain the privi lege within fitting limits, which could not be trans gressed under any circumstances. A repetition of such proceedings as those of last night must inevita bly produce such an alteration—abusus non tollit usum, —what is really valuable will be sacrificed, Irough the injudicious and improper mode in which t is resorted to. Once more we ask what do the minority propose to themselves from such proceedings? They cannot hope to get rid of the measure itself that has provoked their wrath. Under any circumstances that will be pressed for ward so as to have a decision on its merits. It is other Bills, in the success and progress whereof they themselves may feel deep interest, that will be damaged by the delay. What can be done for Ireland ?—for promoting the industrial occu pations of that unhappy land, and deve loping its wonderful natural resources. Can they not perceive that they are retarding the Securities for Advances Bill, a measure better, cal culated to render the sister kingdom prosperous, happy, and contented, than any other that has ever been brought before the Legislature ? That Bill which would, if in practical operation, have left balances to many ruined families after the sale of their inheritances under the Commissioners for Sale of Encumbered Estates—that would have given many an unsatisfied creditor full payment of his just claims, which are now totally and for ever lost through the inadequate sums for which properties have been disposed of, was withdrawn last year from want of time to pass it through its various stages. Are the sufferings of the country to be protracted for yet another year through the culpable folly —aye, worse than folly—of its own children ? Already have seven weeks of the session elapsed, and nothing, li• terally nothing, has been accomplished ; and yet we are told by the Honourable Member for Clonmel, while modestly disclaiming " any factious opposi tion," " that of the sixty-four who voted for the adjournment at least one-half intended to speak." This will give at least sixty additional speeches, as it cannot be supposed that the thirty-two dissentients can be allowed to have it all their own way, or that the House will listen for several successive days to one-sided arguments. We have the business then cut out until Easter. The year 1851 will thus turn out a legislative blank, a hiatus valde deflendus. But, seriously speaking, this farce must be brought to a speedy conclusion. Sufficient time has already been thrown away. Let the majority for once be firm, and insist on a division this very night. They have the power in their own hands, and the community in general expect that they will exercise it. The abolition of the passport system is still unfor tunately among the dreams of those who indulge in the hope of ultimately realizing a political millennium. Nothing whatever can be accomplished in this parti cular, of course, until the feelings of England on the subject are sympathised in by the nations of the Eu eaocontinent. Without the co-operation of con temporaryop. States, the Government of the United Ki n gdom is necessarily powerless to Carry out any such comprehensive scheme of international improve ment. It is consequently requisite to restrict our efforts at reform in the regulation of the system in question to such desirable changes as are practicable without the aid of forei gn C a bi nets. Happily for Great Britain, her inatersteasttses;n everraoughout the world are :o insure watched thesafety,over by and to facilitate the movements, o f her children in all territories alike without any distinction whatsoever, no matter how remote THE SUN, their place of sojourn may be, whether in the eastern or western hemisphere. Actuated by this patriotic ambition to render the fact of citizenship a sufficient protection to every Englishman, Lord PALMERSTON has never once hesitated to interpose in behalf of his fellow-countrymen abroad upon all occasions where they appear to have been subject to injustice. Having by his bold and effective policy surrounded our com patriots abroad with the egis of nationality, the Noble Viscount has recently striven to remove the impediments which have hitherto prevented many of the inhabitants of these islands from penetrating be yond the frontiers of continental Christendom. It was in furtherance of his wishes in this respect that an official notice appeared, on the 20th ultimo, in the columns of the London Gazette, reducing the price of the Foreign-office passports from two guineas and a half to seven shillings and sixpence. Coming as this reduction did, at a moment when it was least ex pected, it had about it all the grace of a really spontaneous concession. Fully appreciating the merit of this almost, or at any rate for the time being, un solicited reform, the Noble Lord the representative of Hertford took occasion, on Thursday evening to offer his tribute of acknowledgment to the Foreign Secre tary, when laying before the House of Commons his own more comprehensive scheme of improvements in regard to the system of passports. Although the Noble Viscount, her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary, rather humorously compared the reference to a Committee of the matter in question, a matter scarcely worthy, he thought, of so much seri ous consideration, to the employing of four horses for the purpose of slicing cucumbers, we cannot but regret that the motion of Lord MAHON was so readily withdrawn. Nevertheless, we are still sanguine that the revival of the complaints alluded to by the Noble Member for Hertford may prove in the end produc tive of no inconsiderable advantages, more espe cially after the assurance given by Viscount PALMERSTON, that he would readily, when ever he discovered ;an opportunity for so doing carry into effect any of Lord MAHON'S more practi. cable suggestions. With a declaration of this some. what vague, but still satisfactory character, the nation is compelled to rest satisfied, confident, however, that her MAJESTY'S Foreign Secretary will strive with perseveiing consistency to ameliorate, in some measure at least, the grievances still weighing heavily upon a large, body of innocent travellers. Already we have had brilliant testimonies of his readiness to forward the course of improvement in this direction, and the aspirations of the most sanguine are enforced by the opinion very explicitly pro nounced by the Noble Lord on Thursday, that it would be well for the nations of the earth if they were to abolish altogether a system so injurious to the cause of civilization. Coinciding to the full in those sentiments we regard with little better than impatient complaisancy, any changes, however otherwise desirable, in the form of existing regulations. It were better, of course, for instance, to equalize the price of English passports both at home and all over the continent of Europe, than to vend them in London at 7s. 6d., when no such amount would be demanded if application were made at the French Embassy for a passport to Paris, and subsequently on arriving in that metropolis, atthe resi dence of Lord NORMANDY for another to a different ca pital . Satisfactory in the highest degree any such inno vation would, of course, prove to English travellers generally, but even under that improved arrangement the burthen of the system itself would still weigh in a manner altogether intolerable. Coupled with Lord MenooN's suggestion for an equalization in the price of passports is another project not less desirable, namely, the establishment of an office or department for the issue of those same abominable documents. All things considered, however, it must be confessed that with these improvements perfected in a way the most agreeable to the wants of the population, the perpetuation of the system in its novel and ameliorated condition would still amount to a very enormous grievance. In reality the change would, contrasted with the evil it effected, be little less than imperceptible. It would be only loosening the pressure of the chains, but those chains would weigh as heavily as before, and would hamper the movements of travellers quite as much and as incon veniently as prior to any attempt at innovation. Civili zation, indeed, can never be carried out to the utter most until the system of passports has been altogether abolished and swept away among the obsolete usages LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, THE SHARE MARKETS BRITISH RAILWAYS.

James Stow and George Rennie were charged before Mr. Jardine with stealing a dog. A policeman of the F division, observing the prisoners hurrying along through Compton-street at half-past twelve o'clock last night, dragging by a chain a remarkably fine young Newfoundland dog, of the best breed and figure, ques tioned them. They said they were taking the dog to a person in Peter-street, Seven-dials, but they could give no satisfactory account of the person who gave the dog into their charge for that purpose. The person named disowned all acquaintance with them, and would have " nothing to say to the dog."—(A. laugh.) The con stable took them to the station-house, when Stow said the dog followed him in the street, and Rennie advised him to take him to the person in Peter-street to take care of.—(A laugh.) Mr. JARDINE was sure the owner of so fine an animal had not allowed him to go at large in a neglected man ner. No doubt some person would soon come forward to claim him, when it would better appear how he came into the possession of the prisoners. He should there. fore remand them to Friday. MARLBRO'-STREET—(THIS DAY). ROBBERY.—James Johnson, a well-dressed young man, was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham charged with having stolen a book from the Soho Chambers, Compton-street, the property of a gentleman named Crick. . . _ George Brown, steward at the above chambers, said the prisoner occupied a room therein, and on Saturday he (prisoner) and three other gentlemen were in the reading-room; the prisoner opened one of the cupboards and took therefrom a yolume of " Fownes' Chemistry," belonging to Mr. Crick, a gentleman who also occupied rooms at the Soho Chambers. About an hour after wards the book was missed, and as it could not be found it was suspected that the prisoner, in whose pos session it was seen last, had taken. it. Witness accord ingly gave information to the police, who searched the various book-stalls in the neighbourhood, and found that it bad been sold to a bookseller named Glaisier, 471, Oxford-street, and from the description he gave of the person from whom he bought it, the prisoner was given into custody. Mr. Crick proved that the book produced was his property. Mr. Glaisier said he purchased the book on Saturday afternoon last; but he could not swear that the prisoner was the mu who sold it to him. Mr. BINGHAM said, under these circumstances, he must discharge the prisoner, as there did not appear a " tittle" of evidence against him. THE NEW ATTORNEY-GENERAL.—We understand that a new writ will be moved for this evening for South ampton, Sir Alexander Cockburn having accepted the office of Attorney-General, Sir John Romilly having been ap pointed Master of the Rolls. RETURN OF THE COURT TO TOWN FROM THE Lau: or• WianT (Tina DAY).—Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, accompanied by their Royal Highnesses the Prince of Wales, Princes Alfred and Arthur, and the Princesses Royal, Alice, Helena, and Louisa, and attended by the Marchioness of Douro (Lady in Waiting), the Hon. Amelia Murray (Maid of Honour in Waiting), the Hon. Col. Charles Grey (Secretary to the Prince), Colonel Bouverie (Equerry to the Prince), and the Rev. H. M. Birch (Preceptor to the Prince of Wales), embarked this morning at Osborne Pier, on board the Fairy Royal Yacht, commanded by Lord Adol phus Fitzclarence, and landed at the Clarence-yard, under the usual salutes from the ships of war in harbour. The illustrious party were received as usual by the military and Commanders-in-Chief at Portsmouth, and proceeded to town by special train on the South-Western Railway. Her Ma jesty was escorted from the Nine-elms station by an officer's party of the 16th Lancers, and was received at the Palace by the Great Officers of State. SECESSIONS TO ROME.—A. correspondent says— " During the past week Dr. Pusey, one of the patrons of St. Saviour's church, Leeds, has been on a visit to that town, with the object of preventing the secession of the clergy of St. Saviour's to Rome. In this, however, he has been un successful, and some of the clergy, and at least twenty of the laymen of the church, are about immediately to go over to the Popish Church. DEATH OF THE MARCHIONESS OF LANSDOWNE.— We regret to state that accounts were received this morn ing at the Noble Lord President's residence, Lansdowne house, of the decease of the Marchioness of Lansdowne, which took place yesterday at Bowood-park, after a severe illness. Her Ladyship was daughter of the late, and sister to the present Earl of Ilchester, and by her marriage with the Marquis bad issue, the late Earl of Kerry, the present Earl of Shelburne and Kerry, and Lady Louisa Fitzmaurice, married to the Hon. James Kenneth Howard, M,P., now the Earl of Suffolk. Lord Clonbrock lies dangerously ill at his seat, in the county of Galway. Sir Philip Crampton returned to Dublin on Sunday afternoon from visiting his Lordship ' • and the answer to the anxious inquiries made at Sir Philip's house was, that " Lord Cloabrock was in the twenty-third day of fever, and that his state was most precarious. SOUTHAMPTON, TUESDAY MORNING.—At the open ing of the Havre cotton market yesterday a lively impulse was iziven to the demand for cotton owirg to the favourable auvices from America received by the Cambria.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were esti mated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,500 American, and 500 Surat were taken on speculation. The market closed firmly.—Railway Shares were flat. Messrs. Wetherby and Hanson furnish the informa tion subjoined concerning the Currant trade:— " The clearances show the operations of the month to have been on an extensive scale. The varying, mixed, and perished nature of much of the fruit this season has produced an un precedented range of prices, fine Vostizzs realizing by auction 434. to 455., whilst rain-damaged, very earthy, and foul has been sold also by auction at the opposite extreme of 20s. per cwt. Until the bulk of the low fruit has been cleared off, the second and better de scriptions will be neglected. The consumption conti nues to run upon Fruit obtainable at aGs. to 375. Meanwhile, as the article continues to rule high at the places of growth, with little business doing, in conse quence of the unusual scarcity of shipping and the losing prices in this market, several cargoes of sound Fruit have lately been withdrawn from sale." We givo the following remarks on the business trans ' acted in Cotton from the Circular of Messrs. Sclarceier and Mummy, published by Mr. Jamo Irvine, of Cook street, Liverpool : " New Orleans, March 1, 1851. " Since our Circular of the 15th of February the arrivals of the Africa and Baltic, successively convoying intelligence of lower prices in Liverpool, our market last week became suddenly depressed, and prices have fallen 4c. per lb.-33,000 bales were sold during that period. The business this week has amounted to 16,000 bales, and although little excitement prevails it is evident that a growing better feeling pervades the minds of ope. rators, satisfied as they mostly are, that the large crop estimates, which have tended to lower prices in Liver pool, were premature, and are not to be realized. For the present, however, as this evil cannot be remedied, all look to further unfavourable accounts from the other side, by reason of the large receipts at our ports, which, for the time being, would seem to confirm the large crop estimates. Under this expectation speculators enter our market with a view solely to reduce the average of past purchases, convinced, as they are, that a material reac tion must occur in the markets abroad at no distant pe riod. Besides the unfavourable features of the accounts by the two last steamers, and the extent of our stock, which has pressed heavily upon factors, the scarcity of shipping and consequent advance of freights to all points, have added to the distress, and reduced prices of Cotton here below what they otherwise would have been. We regret that we are as yet unable to speak knowingly of the extent of the crop of Cotton now coming to market— our advices from the important growing districts lead us to adhere, however, to our early estimates of 21 to 2,200,000 bales, and of this figure not less than from 50 to 100,000 will be frosty inferior, scarcely merchantable Cotton, and which, but for the high prices current only a few weeks since, must have been abandoned in the fields. Every lot of Cotton now offered for sale contains a larger proportion of this inferior Cotton, and it is only by taking such mixed lots that one can buy somewhat below the following quotations, which are for uniform running parcels:—Ordinary, 9c. to 9c. ; good ordinary, 94c. to 10c.; middling, I*. to 104 c.; good middling, 114 e. to 111 c.; middling fair, 114 c, to 12c.; fair, 1210. to 121 c. Sales during the last fortnight, 49,000 bales. Receipts at this port since Ist Sept. inner, 696,538 hales, against 606,039 bales last year. Increase of receipts at all the ports up to latest dates, 126,750 bales." In Valparaiso accounts of January 24 we have various items illustrative of the progress of the Chilian Republic. A vessel had just been launched which was intended as a sloop of war for the Chiliau navy. The timber, copper bolts, and cordage were all of domestic manu facture. _ • Tne exports of Chili for the year 1850 are estimated as follows:—Mineral productions, 8,115,000 dolls.; agricul tural productions, 3,200,000 dolls.—total, 11,315,000 dulls. On the 24th, there was quite a fleet of war vessels in the harbour of Valparaiso, viz.:—British ships, Asia, Daedalus, D iphne, and steamer Driver ; the American frigate Raritan ; and the Chilian frigate Chile, brig Meteoro, and brigantine Janequeo. The American sloop of war Vincennes sailed for Coquimbo on the 16th. The British frigate Portland was expected about the Ist instant to relieve the Asia. The Custom-house receipts at Valparaiso, for the year just past, show an increase over those of 1849, of 216,871 dollars. The sum total of silver exported from Copiapo during the year just closed, has amounted to 387,049 marks of silver, valued at 3,870,41)0 dolls. The produce from other sections of the country, imported during the same period, was 536,698 dolls. It appears by the Havannah accounts that the question of admitting American and English gold coin to pass current there was much discussed, the adverse state of the exchanges rendering it very desirable that some thing should be done. The exchange on New York was 5 per cent. discount early this month, and the merchants and bankers were already admitting gold in their trans actions. At Amsterdam on the 23d inst. Spanish Five per Cents. were not quite so firm. The Passive Bonds were at 51, and the Three per Cents. were well supported; Mexican Stock realized 314; Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 57k. Hamburgh accounts of Friday quote the Exchange on London i t lower, viz., 13 3i. The hope of a re-consideration of the question of the Spanish Coupons, appears to be very feeble. In truth as far as Mr. Weisweiller, the agent of the bondholders at Madrid, -« . 7 ,1 the com mittee in London must take it up , or even, if nec0 ,, 3..79 1,11 Ulf constituents. It is lamentable that such utter disregard of honourable dealing should be exhibited by any European Government, but the un fortunate creditors, great as may be their indignation and disgust, have been so long harrassed and disappointed that the Spanish Legislators not unreasonabiy hope to tire them into acquiescence. The present state of affairs is fully explained in the following correspondence, trans mitted to us by the London committee:— " Madrid, March 17, 1851. " Dear Sir,---Referring to my letter of yesterday, I beg to hand you herewith the translation of the com munication I have addressed to his Excellency the Finance Minister, on behalf of the overdue Coupons, although lam sorry to say that his Excellency has not taken it into his Consideration, as in the last sessions of the Commission, the Minister has not consented to any amelioration, and has rejected the observations made in favour of the Coupons by two members of that Commission, the Messrs.Vilohes and Llorente, who have voted against that part of the project of the law, the remaining five members having voted in favour of the reduction proposed by the Govern ment. " I have thus exhausted my continual efforts, and I must leave to your better judgment, and to your influ ence in your own country, to aot as you will co❑sider it as most serviceable to the interest of the bondholders. " Believe me to remain, my dear Sir, " Your most obedient servant, " DANIEL WEISWEILLER. " James Capel, Esq., Chairman of the Committee of Spanish Bondholders in London." (Copy.) "Excellent Sir,—The President of the Committee of the Spanish Bondholders in London, in acknowledging the receipt of the letter which your Excellency deigned to write to me on the 21st alt., and which I communicated to him in compliance with the wishes expressed therein by your Excellency, tells me, as I already have had the honour to manifest verbally to your Excellency, that he regrets most deeply to see that your Excellency insists in the project of reducing to the half the overdue Coupons of the Active Debt. He desires me to represent again respectfully to your Excellency all the injustice and inconvenience of a measure so pernicious to the future credit of an honest country, which is allied by ties of ancient friendship with Eng land and the other foreign nations, so considerably in terested in tho question of a satisfactory settlement of the public debt of Spain; therefore I can but yet hope that your Excellency and the representatives of the Spanish nation will decide with the equity which is due the reclamation which I am charged to reproduce to her Majesty's Government. " God preserve your Excellency. " Madrid, March 16,1851. " The Delegate of the English Committee of Spanish Bondholders. (Signed) " DANIEL WE/SWZILLEB. " H. E.

EXECUTION OF THE ESSEX CRIMINALS.-(THIS DAY.) CHELMSFORD, TIIESDAY.—This morning, in pur suance of their sentences, Thomas Drory and Sarah Chesham, the wretched beings who were convicted at the last assizes, expiated their respective crimes on the scaffold of the County Gaol at Springfield, near this town. As is customary on similar melancholy occasions, the vicinity of the gaol was crowded with thousands of persons of all classes, whose morbid anxiety to witness the dreadful spectacle not only brought them from the neighbouring localities but from distant places by railroad. Drory was calm and resigned to his fate, and appa rently attended with much fervour to the religious con solation of the chaplain (Rev. G. B. Hamilton) to the last, notwithstanding, it is understood, that many statements he had made, for the purpose of palliating his crime, are totally devoid of truth, still it is gratifying that he has not withheld the only atonement he could make to societyr by a thorough admission of the main facts of his guilt. Mrs. Chesham has, it is believed, made some partial Th admissions, but to what extent is not yet known. u: bodies, having been sus p e nded the usual time, were c down.

She exhibited no sign of Cheshaui wi thout con trition, and she died as she lived, an awlul example to hose of her sex who, in the county of Essex more especially, have been guilty of the frightful crime of arsenical poisoning, for the purpose of obtaining paltry allowances from burial clubs and other societies set on foot for such purposes. Drory's admission of his crime has been fully stated; beyond that admission, he has added nothing, his friends urging him not to ma k e a written confession, a course which he pursued to the last moment. Thus both criminals died, one acknowledging the crime for which he suffered, the other denying her guilt of the crime for which she was compelled to forfeit her life to the offended laws of her country. D, tiring the trial of the convict Drory his father, with many others, had a strong conviction that his son was innocent. He was present at the trial, seated among the numerous friends of the prisoner, until the reply of the counsel for the prosecution. In the course of that speech he burst into tears and left the Court, stating that, until that moment, he had believed the asseverations made by his son that he was innocent, and that the girl had committed suicide. The able and masterly reason ing of Mr. Edwin James upon the facts of the whole case had convinced him, as it did all who heard it, that the evidence for the prosecution was unanswerable. It Fated :bat the pvi3olt , r Li-iz. 14:%0In to have read some accounts of strangulation by the Thugs in India, hence the idea arose of thus getting rid of the girl, whose existence he dreaded. ADELPHI THEATRE. A new drama from the pen of Mr. Tom Parr y , en titled The Disowned ; or, Helen of the Hurst, was pro duced here last evening, and albeit it acted for nearly four hours, yet, thanks to the great talent of the Adelphi company, and the admirable manner in which it was put on the stage, it achieved a decided suc cess; we should, however, strongly advise a judicious and rather free application of the pruning knife, if it be desired that the Disowned should run after the usual fashion of Adelphi dramas. In dramas of this character,in which every member of a company has to be fitted, the artist-like construction of plot must be necessarily in some measure sacrificed to the development of character, and the introduction of striking incidents of startling dramatic effect, and such is the case in this drama. ripe Disowned is a certain Leonard, a young West Indian, dis owned by his father; he falls into the power of a rascally steward, who endeavours to make him an instrument ?f vengeance against the father; this plan, however, Is frustrated, and poor Leonard is killed by ! he explosion of a brace of pistols in a burniny house, just at the moment that his father is ready and willing to acknowledge him. On this slender thread is strung a variety of thrilling and melodr amatic incidents, in the elaboration of which the whole talent of the Adelphi company is brought into play. Not only have we Madame Celeste acting the disowned boy 5 8 sh e to alone can act such parts, and infusing in mere melodrama a pathos and a grace which raises it in many instances to the level of refined tragedy, but the WO have Miss Woolgar acting the part of Helen oft durst, the heroine of the drama, in the moat admirablestyle possible; and Mr. S. Emery making his debta before an Adelphi audience in a regular 0 . Smith debu tis and acting it in such a manner as to prove that be the legitimate successor of the greatest roclodrainatln actor of the day. We have Paul Bedford as a drunken innkeeper, wheeled on the stage in a wheelbarrow by Wright, and exciting shoats of aughter, and Wright himself, dressed in one of the. most eccentric of costumes, acting after his. own moa t amusing fashion, and convulsing the audien Abe itn. laughter. The mise en scene was superb, and it plause at the ()lose was most enthusiastic. The hous Was crowded to suffocation. .... ----------_ LYCEUM THEA.TRE.
