After an energetic protest from several of the metro politan representatives against the Ministerial Bill . for Extramural Interment as at present constituted, ' decided by a majority. of 102, in a House ' - of 216, that the measure, already passed through its first and second reading, instead of being laid before a Select Committee, according to ' the amendment proposed by the Honourable . .. Gentle Man the Member for Bodrnin, should then at once be submitted to a Committee of the whole House, with a view to its speedy consolidation into an enactment. Against the suggestion of Mr. LACY it was tpeciously argued that the compliance of the House with his proposition would necessitate a very ''cbasiderable and hjuricus delay in the prosecution of - -;, , a ecourse of r E f orm mos t earnestly r equ i re d . , L , ____, ' \Jr - cu send the Bill u p-stairs to a S e l ec t S qtee, said the opponents of the Ho :. :;.,,,:1 4 091 K-.-,-? 0 ,-,, ri p ble 11<presTritative, you will render it ____..... l _ 4 'e' ,Ay l y" "ite to procrastinate the projected improvement, :tl-7: 1 / 4 ( prevention of further intramural burial, and the i i Isl. a THE SUN, organization in its stead of a general system of extra mural interment, at least until the middle of the next session. Such a delay it was intimated must prove most detrimental to the interests of the population, and most injurious to the health of the inhabitants of the metropolis. Now, any reasoning of this kind appears to us to be of a most suspicious tendency. It strikes us as being equivalent to saying, " Make haste with the present measure, hurry through with it, no matter how ob jectionable its clauses, or how dubious the nature of its provisions—better to blunder into a rapid altera tion of the existing arrangements than to tarry ano ther month, or it may be another year, in the work of sanitary amelioration." Advice of this description and to such advice the speeches of the Prime Minister and of the Home Secretary necessarily re solve themselves, appears to our thinking very discreditable both to the judgments and to the principles of our Legislators. Any delay, in short, is preferable to a precipitation by which, according to the very judicious opinion of Lord DUDLEY STUART, the dogmas of political eco nomy might be set at naught, and the laws of con stitutional freedom be, in several important instances, abrogated. We appreciate to the full the wit of the remark made by Sir ROBERT PEEL—to the effect that the transmission of the Bill to a Select Commit- tee, would be one of the most extraordinary cases of extramural interment ever heard of—a humorous phrase which naturally gave rise to a considerable amount of laughter—but we cannot in the smallest particular coincide with the Right Hon. Baronet in the opinion that the House itself was the most com petent authority to decide upon the questionable clauses of the proposed enactment. The extreme im patience evinced by the Members almost immediately , after that assertion was made, by the ex-Premier suffi ciently indicated that, in the opinion of severel of its Members, the arrival of the dinner hour was, in their mind, of far greater importance than the scrutiny of a Bill by which the popular privileges might be very injuriously affected. In fact, the readiness evinced late in the evening to hurry as fast as possible over the most intolerable of all the many intolerable clauses in the Ministerial measure sufficiently showed that the mass of the representa tives present were not the best qualified persons to de cide upon a proceeding requiring so much earnest attention and scrupulous deliberation. So hopeless appeared the labour of opposition, in consequence of this most culpable indifference, that even Mr. DUN comun, a man not very easily disheartened, was com pelled at the very outset to throw aside his series of objections and amendments. Petitions were presented prior to the commence ment of the discussion on Monday night, and speeches in accordance with those petitions were delivered strongly in condemnation of the centralizing tendency of the Bill and of the shameful and shameless con cessions made in it to the clergy of the Establishment. The measure was opposed by Lord DUDLEY STuAnT and by Sir BENJAMIN HALL—those two Members thus giving expression to the sentiments entertained by their constituency of Marylebone. Mr. LUSLIING TON and Sir DE LACY EVANs, in the name of their constituent 3 of Westminster, opposed it ; Mr. BE3NAL O:4BDRNE, the Member for Middle sex, opposed it ; Mr. MASTERM AN, the Mem her for the city of London, opposed it ; Mr. THOMAS DONCOMBE and Mr. TnomAs WAIKLET, the Members for Finsbury, opposed it; Mr. D'ErNcouaT, the Member for Lambeth, opposed it—all of them energetically. Only Sir WILLIAM CLAY, the representative of the Tower Hamlets, and Lord ROBERT GROSVENOR, the Member for Mid dlesex, were found, amongst all the metropolitan Members, to come forward with very qua lified commendations of the proposed enact- meat. Disagreeing somewhat in the rather droll opinion expressed by Mr. BERNAL OSBORNE, to the effect that the health of the people was a matter of greater importance than their morality, we coincide most thoroughly in all the other observations eon- tamed in the speech delivered on Monday evening by that Liberal and Gallant Representative. One part of his observations, in short, appears to us to be de serving of a very attentive reconsideration, and cf a very sedulous remembrance. It was where he said— He gave credit to the Government for the principle of the measure, but he mus t object to most of the de tails ; and he would take the pre4ent opportunity at stating that there was one man who had been treated most intemously in connexion with this matter—a man who had devoted fifteen years of his lire, and much of his property, to the promotion of the object aiwtd at in the Bi!t—he meant Mr. Walker.—(Hear, hear.) An other individual, Mr. Chadwick, got the whole credit, while Mr. Walker, the original pioneer in this question, was coolly thrown overboard.—(Hear, hear.) Ito would ' ray, however, that if they were to have a commission at all, he did not see a man better fitted to serve upon it than Mr. Walker; but he (Mr. Osborne) was fortified in the view ho took of the Bill, by the fact that that gen tlemen regarded it as in many respects a very objection able measure.—(Elear, hear, and cheers.") Nor would it seem that the disrelish of the pro jected enactment entertained by Mr. WALKER, is without the cordial sympathy of that very large and very influential portion of the coin munity—the Dissenters. Turning for informa— tion upon this head to the able monthly organ of the Dissenters; the Eclectic Review, we find in the cur rent number of that periodical a very careful analysis of the Government Interments Bill, in which the objectionable clauses (already so often referred to and specified in our own columns),, are severally par ticularized and commented upon in terms of stern and resolute indignation. So earnest indeed is this indignation on the part of the organ of the Dissenters, that the last article in the last number of the .E' clectic Review is thus emphatically brought to a conclusion : " The only mitigation of our disgust lies in the fact that, while the Established Church meets us as a stolid obstacle in Every path of moral, political, and spiritual progress, so every subject on which thinking men ponder, leads them, like CATO of old, to the monster evil. Delenda et Carthago. The State Church must be destroyed.' Such is the character of the opposition roused by this most injudicious scheme of the Administration; an injudicious scheme, as inju diciously approved by the Parliament. We have al ready explicitly revealed our own sentiments upon the measure. We shall now watch for its conse quences. It is by no means surprising that the landed pro prietors of Ireland should feel discontented and dis satisfied at the working of the several Acts for the relief of the destitute poor in that country. How ever essential these just and salutary enactments might be to the great body of the people, to the pre servation of the lives of the thousands and tens of thousands, we fear we might add millions, who must have perished miserably but for the assistance to which they thereby became entitled, they un questionably pressed with great severity upon the owners of real estate. For three centuries they had been exempted from the burden to which their English brethren had been liable under the 43d Elizabeth, c. 2. The aged and helpless pauper had no claims to subsistence out of the land on which he was born, and in the cultivation of which he had been exclusively engaged while in the enjoyment of health and strength. He mi g ht li nger out his wretched ex i stence, deriving a precarious sub sistence f rom t those whose condition and pr he osla n e h e s t ri s ty weorfe but little had no ce r t a i n esor h t is to Oiwnnhis übtumtoshts extremity. There shelter better to than r ho h na is andevanced could demand as a years a n d d ecl i ning t w h e e r a e s n si o s n ta e n c f e ro w m hie l , of s t reng th so urgently demanded. He mi ght in a Christian cou ntr y without anyman, or body sta rve men, being responsible for his melancholy fate. In 1838 this blot upon the national character was partially removed. An Act was passed for the relief of helpless infancy and infirm age. But this enactment FM of the most limited character ; it prohibited assistance under any circumstances of suffering or of sickness, however urgent, except within the walls of the union workhouse. Although willing to give his only capital—his labour — for the n s scantiest relief. iie s u pport, lvas i th© able-bodied pauper could receive excluded from the benefit of the law, which, so far as he was concerned, was practically a dead letter. 2d Victoria, c. The rates collected under t he let and 56, wer e , com paratively, not amounti n g to an avera g e of the country, of 5,1 . in the pound on the real p ro p ert y one moiety of which fell upon the occupiers and the other on .he r 1.7. Su,ll P. t, r' ; ;; /- It proved sufficient under ordinary circu mstances, j although many philanthropists protested from the very outset against the stringent restrictions which prevented the beneficial operation of the new law. But when an extraordinary exigency arrived, when, through the mysterious visitation of PROVIDENCE, there was a failure of the potato—the staple produc tion of the country, which has been well described as " at once the food and the currency of the people"— the deficiency of the existing law became but too painfully apparent. Under such circumstances the Imperial Parliament and the inhabitants of this more favoured island came nobly to the rescue. They did not desert their afflicted and suffering brethren in the dark hour of distress, but voted from the national Exchequer, and collected by private subscriptions, sums which nothing but the extent of the emer gency could justify. There was a total disregard of self, a lavish prodigality, which, under other cir cumstances, might be censured, but which will render the account of the proceedings during the " Irish crisis" the brightest gaga in the history of Great Britain. When the first pressing difficulty was thus over come, it became manifest that sonic large and com prehensive measure should be carried sufficient to pre vent the probability of the recurrence of similar events. The Poor-law Extension Act of 1847 was alike demanded by justice and expediency. It was happily described, we believe, by Mr. Ponlarr SCROPE as " a just and righteous attempt to secure a sufficient share of the land's produce for, at least, the bare subsistence of the poorer classes of the popula tion." It declared that the " poverty of the country should be a charge upon its property," that the poor of Ireland should thereafterbe supported permanently by the land. This salutary law had, as we have stated, been in orwration for nearly three cen turies in this part of the United Kingdom, and it still bore heavily on some parts of it, but in Ireland it pressed with peculiar weight on those who had for the first time to sustain an enor mous burden, greatly aggravated by the peculiar state of affairs. It increaged the difficulties with which the owners and occupiers of land had to con tend, preventing the former from providing for the heavy encumbrances fur which he was liable, and dirniniihing the means of the latter to satisfy his rent and ordinary rates and taxes. No adEquate steps were taken to mitigate or diminish the burden, and the New Poor-law was regarded by many as the "last straw that broke the camel's back." The Act of lnst year (12 and 13 Vie., c. 104) ef- fected some slight improvernmtg, but its principal fea ture, that which limited the amount that could be levied on any property, was unfortunately rejected by the house of Lords, and in some localities—those which era termed par excellence " the di,,tres3ed unions"—the charge was still sufficiznt to absorb the entire produce of the soil. Under such circumstances, then, we cannot fe-.4 astonished at the motion last night brought forward by the Honourable G- , n- tleman the Member for Roscommon, calling upo❑ the House to return to the principle of the A - ;t of 183 S, and condemning some of the &tails of the system under which what has been f:lt as a serious grievance by the landlord class had occurred. The motion was rejected—justly and properly rejectu,l, but every allowance must be made for the irritation of those who endeavoured to reduce the amount of the burdens under which they are sinking. The Poor-law Act in Ireland is, however, an im perative necessity. There can be no retrograde movement. We ars no admirers of " out-door relief," but the power of affording it should be granted whenever the exigencies of the case demand such a step, and also the power of appointing " vice-guardians" whenever the more constitutional bodies, the elected and ex-qffic, io guardians, neglect or refuse to discharge their important duties. Let the friends of the Irish proprietors then exert themselves in procuring for these parties the means of enabling them to meet their responsibilities and fulfil the obligations imposed on them by law. In that attempt they will be sustained by the voice of ' public opinion, and receive the sympathy and assist ance of all classes of the people. But let them not enter upon the hopeless task cf seeking to repudiate a liability to which they are justly subjected by Divine and human law, or of striving to induce the Imperial Parliament to sanction a retrograde and re action ary policy. GRAND INSPECTION OF TEIB HOUSEHOLD TROOPS. —An inspection of the Coldstrelm, Scats Fusilier, and Gre nadier Guards took place this morning on the Grand Parade facing the Horse Guards. Shortly after ten o'clock the ground was taken, and the tr 0133 were minutely in spected by the Colonels of the different regiments. The inspection was ordered to afford the Nepaulese Princes an op portunity of witnessing the appearance of the British troops in review order. His Highness the Nepaulese General was delighted with the appearance of the Guards, and at the conclusion of the inspection desired his thanks to be con veyed to the officers for their kindness, and his admiration at the precision with which the men went through their movements. REVIEW OF THE 2D LIFE GUARDS IN HYDE rAruz.—(THis DAY.)—This morning, at eleven o'clock, the 2d regiment of Life Guards, three hundred strong, marched from the Albany•stret t Barracks, to Hyde-park, fcr a field day. The Mirquis of Londonderry, the Colonel of the regiment; accompanied by his Royal; Highness Prince George of Cambridge, Major-General Brotherton, Inspector•• General of Cavalry; attended by his Aide-de-Camp, Captain Ibbetson ; and many officers of the Household Brigade mounted, arrived on the ground at half-past eleven, and the Prince was received by the band playing the National Anthem. The members of the Nepawlese Embassy, in full uniform, were present in an open carriage, and attracted ge neral attention. Colonel McDouall then put the regiment through the usual cavalry movements, which they executed with great precision. One man in the first squadron was thrown and slightly hurt. The review terminated at a quarter to one, when the regiment returned to barracks. The Marquis of Londonderry will give a grand dinner to the officers this evening. REPRESENTATION' OF CORK.—RETIREMENT OF MR. FAGAN.—The Cork Examiner announces the intended re tirement of Mr. Fagan, the Member for Cork, from the re presentation of that city, as soon as the new Franchise Bill shall become law. The cork _Examiner adds—" We think that Mr. Fagan ought to be asked to reconsider the suffi. ciency of the reasons which have led to the resolution in question, and that such a demonstration of opinion should be made upon the subject that, if be adhere to his determina tion, and withdraw from Parliament, it will not be for want of an enthusiastic and honourable appreciation of his services and independence. Mr. Fagan has proved, perhaps, the best of all the Irish Members. GRAND SWIMMING MATCII.—Last evening a grand swimming match between two members of the Holborn Swimming Club came off, in the presence of a numerous and fashionable company, at the National Baths, High Holborn. The race was six times the length of the bath, and for 351. aside. At starting, owing to the betting being nearly even, the greatest excitement prevailed. Of the two candidates, however, Mr. David Young, who has been in training for some time past, under Mr. George Pewtress, the champion of England, was slightly preferred, and some of his backers dared to bet sto 4 that he would come in winner. Mr. Harold Kenworthy acted as umpire, assisted by Mr. Heclg man, the worthy proprietor of these excellent swimming baths. The start being effected both set off in gallant style, Mr. Davenport for the first two lengths slightly keeping the lead. At the third turn, however, Mr. Young, amid loud cheers, shot ahead, and came in an easy winner. Mr. George Pewtress and Mr. H. Kenworthy then entered the water and exhibited their extraordinary evolutions to a delighted as sembly. LETTERS AND NEWSPAPERS FOE CUBA VIA THE UNITED STATES.—The following notice was issued yester day at the General Post-office :—" Information having been received from the Postmaster-General of the United States of the establishment of a regular communication by packet between Charlestown and Havannah, letters and newspapers for Cuba may be forwarded from this country to the United States and thence to Havannah, by the United States packets, if specially so addressed. The postage upon letters sent via the United States to Cuba will be Is. 4d. when not exceeding half an ounce is weight, 2s. 81. when above half an ounce and not exceeding one ounce, and so on according to the scale for charging inland letters, and newspapers will be liable to a charge of 2d. each. The postage upon both letters and newspapers must be paid in advance. All cor respondence for Cuba not specially addressed to be sent via the United States will continue to be dispatched by the West India packet of the 2d of each month."

A MAN SUMMONED FOR NOT MAINTAINING A WIFE AND SIX CHIL DREN ON 7 s . A W EEK .—A poor man, with the appropriate name of Bones, was summoned for allowing the guardi ans o f t h e W orm i ngford un i on to maintain three children of his wife by a former husband. In defence, the man said that his earnings were only 7s. a week, and he found it impossible to maintain eight people on that sum. He had been nearly starved in the attempt, and at last took three of the children to the union and left them there. The workhouse had been offered to himself and family, but he declined to go into it. The Rev. J. R. Smythies said that the parishioners of Wormingford ought to pay better wages than those of any oth er par i s h , b ecause the land in it was so superior. The fact of the man having it dislike to go into the union was a proof to him (Mr. S.) that he was an honest and industrious man; as to his supporting eight people on 75. a week, it could net be done, and he would never sign the loan's conviction except unon mandamus. The case was then dismissed.—Essex Herald, THE WEATHER.—The mean daily reading cf the barometer at the Royal Obzervatorv, Greenwich, was above in. on Wednesday, Friday, and - Saturday, on which last (lay it was 30.179 in. ; the mean of the week was 29 895. mean I , :m7ratnre in the '8 Oecr. 2 min,, rtt higher thdu In the titine weeis oa all averdge 01 sevui years.

Lourtroer, the Democratic Member for the. Department of the Cher, has resigned his seat, for the purpose of putting the new elector a l l aw t o th e t e st. The L?gitimat'ists have been, as we stated yester day, completely tricked by the Orleenists into giving their support to this law. They at length perceive that they have fallen into a trap, and are now as bitter in their denunciations of the Orleanists as they ever have been in their denunciations of the Socialists. The Univers and Opinion Politique declare that nothing but the restoration of legitimacy will bring back peace, and denounce the revolution of July, 1830, as a greater crime than that of February, 1848, while the Gazette de France offers a bidding for popular favour by declaring that HENIII V. will re store universal suffrage, which the Assembly has just destroyed. The Assemblee Nationale openly preaches civil war. and boasts of the aid which, in such a case, the Roy alists would receive from Russia.: It is said that the Assembly will be prorogued in July. A supplement of the Moniteur Algerien of the 25 th ult. gives details of the engagement in which General DE BAERAL received the wound which re sulted in his death. On the 21st ult. the General, after being delayed three days by torrents of rain, marched from DjerrienAa el Biylik, near Trouna, against the tribe of the Beni. Lime]. As he expected, he found 3,000 Kabyles prepared for resistance ; they were placed on a line of rocks, between which and the General there were ravines, in which only one man at a time could penetrate. The General arranged his plan of attack, and himself marched at the head of the troops against the enemy. As he was proceeding he was struck in the breast by a bullet. He was able to remain on horseback until Colonel DE LOERMEL came up and received the command from him. Colonel DB Lounmer. then proceeded with the attack, and eventually the French, cavalry and infantry, were able to rush on the Kabyles; and, not withstanding they were met by a discharge of mus ketry, they completely routed them, killed 200, pur • sued the enemy for six hours, and finally set tire to their villages. The French had only 13 men wounded, and 2 horses killed. The next day the Beni-Immels demanded the amen, and the Tifras anti the Aid-Ainems,, who had been in insurrection for two years, also made their submission. The bullet was extracted from the wound of General DE BAItRAL, and the General was conveyed to Bougie. The illonitmr Alr,erien gives details of other military movements in different places, but they are not of general interest ; they are, however, on the whole, ferourable to the French. This journal announces the sudden death at Fez of Bou HAMEDI, ex-Kalifa of ABD EL-ICADER ; it was said that he had bee❑ poisoned. His decease had caused great terror among the Algerine families established in Morocco. A great number of them, comprising about 1,500 individuals, residing at Fez, or in the vicinity, had applied to the French Consul at T►ngiers to be allowed to return. Fifty families of the Beni-Amers, who had emigrated to Ouchda, in Morocco, with the add EL GuENNACEI, had, in consequence of this, returned tc the French territory, where they were divided air.orgst the different fractions of tile Beni Amer Garabas. The Assembly yesterday rEjPoted the proposition for levying a stamp duty on the transfer of public stock by 326 to 302.

It was expected that the Emperor NlcnoLAs would visit Vienna. Aus tria does not, however, s(?.eni inclined to give way. The Oesterreichische Correspondent declares that the reconstruction of the old confederation is impera tively necessary in order to afford the means of co operation by the Governments of Germany with the rest of the European powers against the danger threat ening society from the socialistic and communistic propaganda of France. At the same time, however, no concessions whatever are to be made to Prussia and her plan of a narrower union. HUNGARY. DEPARTURE OF THE CtIILDREN OF KOS SUTII FOR PESTH.

FLENSBURGII, MAY 30.—Although we have no doubt of the intelligence given by many papers of the destruction of the fortifications erected last year at Sandacker is correct, it is nevertheless remarkable that we are without any positive minute intelligence respecting the new act of violence on the part of the Danes. We learn from the Sundewith that the forti fications were destroyed on the 0 6th, and vessels which have passed Sandacker state that the fortifica tions on the north side are undisturbed, while those on the south have been demolished. Half of the Norwegian foot artillery, and the Swedish mounted artillery, manoeuvred yesterday in a body at the western part of the city.

There was a firm merket for Cotton at Liverpool yesterday, and prices had an upward tendency. The sa!es were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,500 American were taken for export, and 500 on speculation. The transactions comprised 6,000 American (1,000 of which were Bowels), chic_ fly at 70.; 1,000 Pernam and Mara,nhana, at ltd. to 72c1.; 200 Bahia, at 71d. to 71-1.; 300 Egyptian, at 74d. to 8(1.; and 40 Sea Islands, at is. Id. to lid. per lb.—ln Railway Shares a fair business was done, with but little alteration in prices. Specula'ion and real purchases for consumption have been rather actively conducted this week in the produce markets. Sugar and Coffee have risen, and Cotton is steady. The Continental markets for Public Securities have been very huoyan'. At Paris the rise is continuous and reruarka'lle. At Amsterdam the improvement has been also conspieuens. Oa the 2d inst. the Two-and-a-Half per Cents. were 56 5.16. The letters received yesterday afternoon from the United States dwell still upon the progress making in manufac uring pursuits at the south. One party writes:— The growth of the manufacturing interests of the .1 South is one of the most gratifying evidences of our in creasing prosperity. Few, even amongst our intelligent citiz • as, are aware of the extent to which our people are en gaging in this branch of industry; and no one acquainted with the importance of manufacturing establishments in aeveloping all the varied interests of the country, can fail to see in the movement a greater degree of prospe rity than has heretofore characterised the Southern States, while confining themselves chiefly to the pro duction of the raw material. But the most gratifying fact connected with this growing interest, especially to us Georgians, is the lead which our State is taking. It has bren estimated that there are now in operation in Georgia 40 cotton mills, employing near 60,000 spindles, and consuming 45,000 bales of cotton annually. In this estimate, which seems to be below the true mark, no calculation is. made of our piper-mills, bucket factories, iron establishments, flouring mills, Scc. In Tenessee it has been reported to the secretary of the Treasury, that there are 30 factories, employing 36,000 spindles. In South Carolina, the Hon. William Gregg 6lys there are 16 factories, containing 36,500 spindles, and about 700 looms, consuming 15,000 bales of cotton per annum. Ile estimates the capital inve,ted in these establishments at about one million of dollars, and the number of operatives they give employment to at 1,600. There are in Alabama 12 factories, with a ca- pit sl of 500,000 dollars, containing 12,580 spindles and 300 looms, and consuming about 5,500 bales of cotton • anacaily. It is said that machinery for others i 3 contracted for sufficient •to make the num ber of spindles 20,000, and the looms 550. Thus we have in four States ninety-eight manufactories of aarious descriptions of cotton goods, containing 1.10,000 spindles.. Thera aro doubtless many other oott m mills in the other Southern States which would swell the number somewhat. In addition to these, there ere others going up, not only in this state, bat every where else at the south. We hazard but liiee in saying that at the end of the five years there will be perhaps two hundred cotton factories in operation in the Southern St rtes, consuming tearly two hundred and fifty thousand bales of (sown per annum, and giving employment to twenty-live or thirty thousand operatives. The effect of such a diversion of labour upon the produc tions of the south, the price of cotton, artd the habits of those who will like!) , be employed as operatives must be immense. All the cost of the transportation of the raw material -to Eng land, of its manufacture here, its transportation back to this country, will be saved to our people. The general price of cotton will be increased by the competition which will ensue between the manufacturing establish ments of Europe and the Northern and Southern States; sad great good to society must result from the employ ment of thousands of persons who are now consumers, and not producers." The circumstance of a further . rise in the Funds at Paris, and the absence of any unfavourable news has in duced further purchases of Consols, both on speculation and for investment. The feeling undoubtedly is good. The largo arrivals of bullion, present and prospective, and more than counter-balancing the exports hence to Russia, with the proximate payment of the dividends, are all in our favour; but we have seen such frequent and sudden re-actions, that we prefer caution to overweening confidence, and there is no knowing, for example, what may occur in Schleswig or Cuba to give the Beers a handle. The range this morning, taking the highest and lowest values, has been in Consols from 961 to 97 for Transfer, and from 97 to 974 for the July Account. New Three and-a-Qiarter per Cents., 974 to 4, and Reduced Three per Cents., 951 to 96. Bank Stock has been about 2071 to 2081. Exchequer-bills have realised 68s. to 71s. premium. In the Foreign Market very little has been done, and there is an inclination to sell. Spanish Three per Cent. Bonds at 374 to 38 ; Mexican Stock has realized 314 to 321 ; Dutch Two-and-I-Half per Cents. have been 564 to 574 nominally ; Grenada are 1841. Railway Shares have been still very lively, but Great Western are not quite so good. North Western hare been higher. QUARTER TO THREE.

(Sittings in Banco. bviore Lord CAMPBELL znd Justices PATTESON, COLERIDGE, and ERLE.) THE QUEEN U. 'THE DEAN AND CHAPTER OF CHESTER. Lord CAMPBELL this morning delivered the judgment of ihe Court in this case. His L rdship said, on account of the general importance of the question the Court took time to consider their decision in this case, and they now continued to be of the same opinion which they fortntd during the argument, that the return to the mandamus was sufficient. The mandamus alleged that Joseph Humphreys was in due manner nominated, by tho Dean and Chapter of the Cathedral Church of Chester, a chorister, lay clerk, and singing an of the said cathedral church, and until his removal had per formed the duties cf the office ; and that it was a free hold (Bee, conferring a right to vote for Members of Parliament for the county of Chester; yet that the Dean and Chapter had unjustly removed the said Joseph Humphreys from the said office. The return set forth the foundation of the cathedral church of Chester by letters patent and statutes passed in the 33d year of the reign of Henry VIII. By there statutes power was given of admonishing and punishing at discretion, and of expelling the officers of the cathedral, including the choristers. Then came the appointment of a visitor, who was to be the Bishop of Chester for the time being, and who was to see that the statutes were inviolably ob served. The return further alleged that the choristers were nominated and governed under the said statutes, and that at the time in question Dr. Sumner was the Bishop of Chester, and visitor of the Dean tad Chapter, under the powers and provisions of the said letters pa tent and the said statutes. And it was said that the said Joseph Humphreys had not appealed against his removal to the visitor, as he might and could have done. Mr. ' Welsby, who supported this demurrer, did not deny the proposition that where there was an eleemosynary foun dation the visitor had exclusive jurisdiction over the matters with respect to which he was appointed visitor, but contended that this Court were compelled by mandamus to bring the removal of Humphreys within the cognizance of a court of common law. The first objection was that the mandamus showed a motion to the visitor, and that where there was a mo tion the visitor had no jurisdiction; but Appleford's case was an express authority that after motion the visitor's jurisdiction continued, and that when he had jurisdiction this Court would not interfere. The next objection was placed on the alleged limited powers of the visitor in this case, and on the want of an allegation in the return of the offence imputed, to show that the visitor had jurisdiction over him. But the Court were of opinion that by the letters patent ret out the powers of the Bishop of Chester, were not confined to cases in which ho had a jurisdiction ordinarily, but that he was constituted a special visitor to see that the statutes were enforced. The Court could see no reason why the return should specify the offence on which the motion took place, if the legality of the motion was to be determined by the visitor. The Court was then told that the mandamus ought to go, because this was a spiritual and not an eleemosynary foundation; but no authority was cited to show that this distinction was material where there was a special visi tor appointed by the Crown. Although there was a dif ference with respect to the acts of a visitor merely in the capacity of an ordinary, the office here was a lay office belonging to a spiritual foundation, and in principle there was nothing to show that it was to he viewed differently from the fellowship of a college with special powers of visitation. With respect to the a:legation that this was a freehold office, when Mr. Humphreys accepted the cffice he knew the conditions on which it was offered to him, one of which was, that in ease of dis putes arising, such disputes were to be determined by the visitor, and not by a court of common law. Lastly, it was contended that although Mr. Hum phrey:: might have appealed to the visitor ; ho was not hound to do so, and might apply for relief to this Court. But this notion of a con current jurisdiction was expressly contradicted by the language of Lord Hale in Appleford's case. For those reasons the Court were of opinion that there ought to be judgment for the defendants, and it was very satisfactory for the Court to think that their judgment might be questioned in another place. THE QUEEN V. THE TITHE COMMISSIONERS OF ENGLAND AND WALES. The Court pronounced judgment for the defendants. EXCHEQUER.-(THIS DAY.) (Before the LORD CHIEF BARON, and Baron* ALDERSON, ROLFE, and PLATT.) BIRKEN SHAW V. THE BIRMINGHAM AND OXFORD RAILWAY. The LORD CHIEF BARON delivered the judgment of the Court in this case. It was an action brought to re cover the sum of 4,500/. for three houses, and other pro perty belonging to the plaintiff, which were required for the purposes of the railway. Upon notice being received from the defendants that the property would be required, the plaintiff demanded payment of 4,500/., and it that were not given that a jury should be summoned to assess the damages. The question which the Court had to decide %as, whatwas the meaning of the words in the Act of Parliament, " lands taken for the execution of the works." The Court had carefully examined the Act of Parliament, and had referred to several decisions of Lord Cottenham on the point, and they wore of opi nion that the verdict should be entered for the de featiants.—Judgment for the defendants. COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco, before the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE, and Justices MAULE, CRESSWELL, and TALFOORD.) The Court was occupied this morning with demurrers, which presented no features of general interest. BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) Mr. Justice Wightman sat in ly,nco this morning, but nothing came before the Court to justify a report. SECONDARIES'.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Secondsry Port'En.) FISHER AND ANOTHER V.
