N a s .cam-~, ..-T= ~,.~_~~^ THE SUN, Mils landed at Holyhead are, according to "Brad shaw's Time-book" for the present month, within three hours and a half of Liverpool, which is, at least, two hours' less time than any Transatlantic steamer can run the distance in. It is eight hours' run by express mail now from Holy head to London, whereas, reckoning the water distance from Holyhead to Liverpool as five hours and a half, and the main speed from Liverpool as six hours and a halt, there is an adv2ntage of four hours by the Holy head Rsilway route, or a saving of 50 per cent, be tween that point and London. The same applies to the manufacturing towns on the London and North- Western main line, and to all communications with Bristol and the south-west of England. Holyhead is distant 120 miles from Manchester, and there being now one c ontinuou s route, that town and th e Ridings of Yorkshire can be reached some three hours more quickly than via Liverpool. Glasgow and all Scotland would be equally benefited, because at Warrington the station of the London and North- Western Company is also the junction station for the line between Chester and Manchester, and, in fact, for Ireland itself: the position of Holyhead is about equi• distant. It is evident that the Protectionists intend to "show fight" at the next general election, and that we shall he again called ou to do battle iu the cause of free trade, free government, and free religion, Are the Liberals prepared or preparing for the im pending conflict ? We fear that in many instances they are not, and we urge them to lose no time, but at once to organize tbetnselves ; the battle of freedom must be fought first in the registration courts in the months of September and October, and then at the hustings, for upon the next registration there cannot be a doubt but that we shall have an election ; neither can there be a doubt as to the result of that election vater ! if the Liberal electors, wbo constitute the vast ma jority of the consituencies of the kingdom, be but Properlyu Bristol watch the organized. It is not enough to say, register! every city and borough is a striki ng and , °fluty in the kingdom should at once org an i ze a . . . Liberal Registration Association, registration. The case of the city of of organization in Or der bring their to bear practically numer icalAi of the success which organized effort.

Some time in the year 1835 the Liberals oe Bristol organized the Bristol Liberal Association, and thanks to that organization, th ey succeeded at the general election in 1837 in return. ing Mr. HENRY BERKELEY by a majority of 54 over the second Tory candidate; at the next general elec tion he was returned by a still greater majority over the second Tory ; and at the last general election he was returned at the head of the poll. The association still continues its labours, and at the annual meeting of the members, held last week, the report prese nted to them declared-6,That at no former period di d the Liberal party stand in a position so entirely indee pendent, .not- to - say so completely commanding." The me 4 mi. conotit 1 .... , P _ M laCrilOti fraM stainethin ; , iulacKA:loiLi ~iQllll. Sir J. PAKIIk/CTON asked for a distinct pledge from the Government that they would introduce some measure on this subject. Sir G. GREY refused to give such pledge. Mr. KEOGH opposed, and Mr. SPOONER supported the Bill. The SOLICITOR-GENERAL said that the writ of habeas corpus affurded a sufficient remedy for the evils com plained of, and he should therefore oppose the Bill. Mr. FRESHPIELD supported the Bill. Mr. Sergeant MURPHY stigmatised the Bill as in. tended to insult and degrade females of the most irre proechable character. Mr. GRANTLEY BERKELEY and Mr. ANSTEY opposed, and Colonel THOMPSON supported the Bill. Mr. S. HERBERT considered this Bill, if passed, would set a most dangerous precedent. After a feviwordstrom Lord BERNARD, The House divided, and the Bill was rejected by 123 against 91. The House adjourned shortly before Six o'clock. The decision of the Commissioners as to the port :o be selected for the arrival and departure of the American mails now begins to be looked for with anxiety. It is, however, understood that the three harbours in favour of which the balance of evidence preponderates are Liverpool, Holyhead, and Galway, The Commissioners, it is believed, will not report specially in recommendation of any one of them, but will submit the valuable and extensive evidence they have collected in favour of and in disparagement of each, and confine their remarks to a collation of the evidence, as a jud ge wou ld charge a jury, leaving public opinion to pronounce the verdict. Perhaps, under all the circumstances, this is the wisest, as it cerainly is the safest course that could he adopted, for the question must in the end be de cided on national grounds only, and not with refer ence to personal and particular interests. The tvc o extreme ports—Liverpool to the east, and Galway to the west—have both had their warm ad vocates, ant so much has been written and pub lished in favour of each, that we need hardly further dwell upon them. Whilst the advocates of Galway dwell upon the intricacies of the navigation to Liver pool, and the fogs with which it is continually im peded, they will tell you that such a thing as a fog is unknown in their " sweet land of the West," and that a few revolutions of the paddle-wheel will bring the American steamer from Galway harbour into the broad Atlantic, with a " westing" and a clear expanse of ocean that it would take Liverpool near thirty .hours to shire at ;. and this can be accomplished, when the railway is com pleted, which it will be by the Ist of August, by means of rail and steam, in sixteen or seventeen hours from London. Liverpool, on the other hand, whilst not denying the speed with which a passenger or a mail-bag can reach Galway, under favourable circumstances, in sists, that as the trade of America is centered at their port, it should also be the point of mail embarkation and arrival; that the difference in time between and Galway is more imaginary than real, and that to reach Liverpool from, say New York, it will, under any system that makes Galway the port of arrival and departure, require no less than four changes of conveyance, namely, one at Galway itself, one at Dublin, one at Kingstown, and one at Holyhead, before the mails and passengers shall finally arrive at their destination—and all these changes have to be made within a distance of 200 miles from Liverpool. Now it appears to us that whilst this controversy has been raging between the two outer shells of the oyster, the middle, or the lawyer's fee, has been nearly, if not altogether, lost sight of. The men of the principality have been asleep, but whether from consciousness of strength or apathy we cannot determine. Holyhead, however, has, in our opinion, advantages that cannot, and must not be lost sight of. Situated at the extreme north-western paint of Great Britain, and surrounded wish high headlands, that are rarely obscured by fog, it is accessible to the navi gator at all times. A long and protracted investiga tion has pointed to it as the most appropriate site for a harbour of refuge on that part of the coast, and the Government, with a liberality that cannot often be laid at its doors, is expending large sums in a manner that will not only accomplish the original object, but will also make it a harbour in which a steam trade can be carried on, txceedirig in magnitude that of Liverpool or London at the present day. Already the great sea barrier of the outer har bour is run out 2,000 eut of 5,000 feet, which is to he its ultimate length. Mr. RENDk.LL, the engineer, who has charge of the works, expresses his confidence that They can all be completed within two years, and that for the practical purposes of a harbour for steam vessels of Transatlantic magnitude, it will be ready within a twelvementh. At the present time the railway runs to within 30 feet of the berth of the Irish packets, and it can be extended without difficulty and without expense, as soon as the pier fir the large steamers is completed. The same perfect arrangements that come into effect this month for the convenience and comtor of the passen gers by the Irish mail packets, can at once be yen dered available for those to or from America. LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, like 8,000 in 1835, to 12,498 in 1850, and the great majority of the newly-registered householders are Liberals. So confident are the Liberals of their power, that in moving a vote of thanks to Mr. GEORGE THOMAS, the chairman, to whose indefati gable exertions the success of the association is mainly attributable, Mr. MICHAEL CASTLE proposed " that they should next election place their chairman by the side of their present excellent Member in the House of Commons, certain that if they did so no city or town in England would have two more excellent re presentatives ;" and, although Mr. GEORGE THOMA s declined the honour thus proffered to him, on th e ground that it was too late in the day for him to seek Parliamentary honours, yet the fact of the success attending upon efficient organization remains, and the Liberal electors of Bristol have set an example which we hope will be followed by every constituency in the kingdom. To the Liberal electors of the empire we say, Register ! register ! register ! and that you may register effectively, Organize ! organize ! organize! THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. MM. DARU, LACROSSE, and BENOIT Die; ZY have been elected Vice-Presidents of the Assembly for the ensuing three months ; and MM. Yvest and MOULIN Secretaries. Unwarned by experience, M. LEON FAUCHER has been again abusing the privileges of his office, by in terfering with the elections of representatives. He has sent off the following dispatch to the Prefect of the Landes:— " VAIUS, MAT 9,11 i A.M.—ln presence of the ma rceuvres which the extreme Opp 'anion direct against it.e kw of May 31, 1850, you ought to declare, and io :ir,k, known.by your Sub- Peewits, that in the opinion. of th. Governmi nt the electors, the friends. of order, cannot, in consulting the interests of the country, give th it votes except to a candidate who is very decided on &fending and maintaining the electoral law of May 31. P.S. The party of order unstiimously support General Durrieu, the only one of the candidates who has declared that he will maintain the law of May 31." M. EMILE DE GIRA.RDIN has directed the attention of the Assembly to the subject, and interpellations are to be addressed to the Mieister when the qualifica tions of the new representative for the Landes shall he verified. The Democratic Republicans of La Guillotiere, a uhurb of Lyons, bare succeeded in returning 32 members out of 35 to the Municipal Council. Tne Moniteur Algerien of the sth says:— "The assemblage of men which was formed under the pre'ended cherif Bou-Baghela in front of the camp of Colonel d'Aurelle, amongst the Beni-Mansour, seems •tiece the combat of the 10 , h to have renounced all idea of serious attack. Except a stray shot now and tnen tired everything is perfectly quiet. The great tribe of the Beni Abt for a moment agitate d. has become calm, and General Camon, who relieved General Bus quet in his camp of Bibano, sends word that all is tran quil near him. Nothing has occurred to justify the # umour which lately prevailed at Algiers, that a general attack was to be made on the tribes of the right bank of the Sahel, now subject to France, by those on the left bank, who are still free; The• preparatory movements for the formation of the column of Djidgelli are nearly completed, and on the 10th General St. Arnaud will have commenced his operations. On the western frontier Uent•ral de MacMahon is visiting wich s'me of the troops of Tlemcen the Algerine tribes in that direction. Neither they nor the tribes of Morocco seem to fed alarm at the intended expedition. No perturbation seems probable in any part of Algeria." _ - The Five per ,Cents. opened at 89E 75c., and fell to 89f. 50e., but rose subsequently to 90t. 50c., and closed at 90f. 45c. ; the Three per Cents. closed at 56'. 10c.

SALDANH♦ was expected to enter Li4hon on the 13 h, at the head of a I irge force. Sonar Joss I'Assos, a Septembrista, had been chosen President of the Military Council. GERMAN Y. The Cologne Gazette announces that the question of the reduuqun of tubs on the Rhine is about to be definitively solved. A convention has been con cluded between the States interesed, by which Franc«, B ivsria, and Holland abandon all tolls. Prussia will give up the half of whit she at present levies, and Nassau and Grand Ducal llesse the third. The following has been received by electric tele graph from Berlin, dated the 13th : “ - Tne King and Q ►een of Pattsszs will positively leave on the 15th for Warsaw. The conferences there are likely to be very important. The President of the Cuuncii will be j hied at Warsaw by General Rochow, whu is now at Frankfort. The adjutant of the King, who is about to leave fur Paris on a special missiun, is Major Buddies. The Minister of Finance has ten dered his resignation. The Wertetnberg Chambers are about to be immediately adjourned until the autumn. The psriztna of Austria affirm that the Austrian ple nipoteittaries at Frankfort are instructed to demand the continuation of the deliberations of the Diet, and the recognition by Prussia of the resolutions previously adopted.” Advices from Berlin of the 12th inst. state that M. RABS, the Finance Minister, had demanded his dis inissal. According to an official statement from Frankfort of the 13th inst., diplomatic relations between Wit temberg and Prussia will be shortly re-established. HOLLAND. Tan HAGUE, MAY 13.—1 n the sitting of the Second Cumber the debate was continued on the in troduction of cellular prisons. The project was adopted by 35 against 20. The Staats Courant publishes an additional con vention, signed in London on the' 27th March, be tween the Netherlands and Great Britain, the object of which is to complete the Treaty of Commerce and Navigation of the 27th October, 1847, whereby Netherlands vessels in the ports of the United King dom, and British vessels in the Netherlands 'ports, shall be subject to the treatment of national vessels, by virtue of the changes introduced during the two last years into the navigation-laws of the two countries. The Staats Courant likewise publishes the law au thorising the commencement of the great fishery, and of the herring fishery, on the Ist of June next. The Amsterdam Courant of this day publishes ex tracts from several provincial papers on the subject of the Russian claim upon the Netherlands. It appears that the Minister of Finance is about to bring in a Bill proposing that the Chambers i.hould vot, a given sum towards the liquidation of this debt, which has been standing since 1831. Several of the papers are very indignant, and at tempt to prove that there is no debt, and that the na tional honour is by no means implicated in the pay. ment or non-payment of Four tons of gold. DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. AlAr 9.—The following is the project which will be frubtnitted to the Assembly of Notables, which is about to meet at Flensburgh to deliberate on the question of the duchies . "L Denmark will continue to form one united king dom under a common Sovereign, with the same order of succession. There will also be a common diplomatic and consular body, one flag and fleet, with the exception that Lmemburgh, whose more intimate union is reserved fur further deliberation. The Danish monarchy to have but one general system of commerce, navigation, money, customs, and postage. An inquiry will be made jor de termining whether the public debt and patrimony of the state shall be in common, or divided among the popu lation proportionally, taking as a basis the landed property. "IL The duchies of Holstein and Lauenburgh will continue to form part of the Germanic Confederation; their special position to be guaranteed by the separate Dist., which will exercise legislative powers concurrently with the King in affairs relating to each duchy.

Mr. Weeks was present, ai,d had the honou r of explaining to them the details of the plan. Near this is a Swedish ventilving stove, by L ,, akes, of Great Russell street, the alvantages of which are said to be—a far greater amount of heat, and the heat ing surface being composed of pure fire-loam, the air is not d. composed. The heat, as compared with an) other atuve, to tNree times greater ; 70 feet of hew ing surface being contained in a stove of this descrip tion, two feet squire and three feet high; whereas other stoves ~ f similar dimensions contain only 23 feet. The heat being obtained through a constant current of pure air passing in contact with stofsces which do nut decom pose it, maintains in the apartru• nt the most perfect Vivien arid healthy change tt air. The stove is farther slid to be more econom eel it fuel than any other, and tit ctdedly less expensiv in tt. e first cost. MARKET NE WS—(THis OA Y.) NEivGaTia AND L £ADENBALL.

AWFULLY MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A SOLICITOR. —CURLS DaY. ) —At ten o'clock on Tuesday night the po lice -constable on duty found in the garden of Mr Heal's house, 62, Euston-square, a gentleman lying in a state of insanity, having on his person a gold watch and a large amount of property. Near him also lay his carpet bag. The police without delay conveyed the unfortunate gentle man to the St. Pancras workhouse, where Mr. Eaton, the master, ha him placed in a comfortable bed in the infirmary, and attended to him until the senior and junior hoive-sur geons arrived, who exerted all their skill to save his life.' But he died in a state of insanity at four o'clock this morn. ing. Unon examining his papers and upon further inquiry by Mr. Eaton, it appeared that he unfor unate deceased is Mr. Charles Foulkes, solicitor, of Leicester, aged r 6, and that he had come to town to consult on some law business Slr. W. Sanger, of Essex-court, Temple, with whom he lunched, and after that took leave of him in apparently the best health slid spirits. On his way to the Euston-square sta tion he visited another friend near the square, and after parting with him, was not heard of until he was found by the police. Mr. Foulkes has lift a widow and an orphan to deplore his melancholy and untimely end. ACCIDENT TO THE MARQUIS OF ANGLESEY.—W e regret exceedingly to announce that an accident, which might have bean attended with very serious consequences, occurred yesterday afternoon to this g a ll an t veteran. L ord Anglesey was riding down Grosvenor-street at a sharp pace, when, on arriving at the turning into Park-lane, the pole of art omnibus was driven with considerable force against his Lordship's horse. The concussion caused the animal to rear up and fall back. Lord Angleser, of course, lost his seat, but fortunately disengaged himself from the stirrups and rose unhurt—a circumstance the more happy, from the fact that I the left leg worn by his Lordship was always attached to the I stirrup- ir n by a small chain, which the force and weight of the fall providentially broke. The Noble Marquis rode to Uxbridge House in a friend's carriage; and in answer to in quiries last evening. was described as a good deal shaken, but not seriously injured by the accident. The Queen has presented 1001. in aid of the Sailors' Home at Portsmouth. Yesterday a Court of Directors was held at the East India House, when Lieutenant-General Sir Richard Armstrong, C. 8., was appointed Commander-in-Chief of the. CgmEsny's Forces on the Fart et. George Establishment. Letters from Rome, of the 31, in the Corriere Mercantile, states that on the Ist some French sol diers, of the garrison or Castello, had a brawl with some Italian soldiers, which ended in a serious con flict, in which many wounds were inflicted, and se veral lives lost on both sides. It is nut said whether the offenders have been punished or not. A letter from Bolugna of the 3.1, in the Costitu, zionale of Florence, states that notwithstanding the late decree of Count NOBILI against persons attempt ing to prevent others from smoking, the sale of tobacco and cigars has considerably diminished, thus causing a great. loss to the revenue; that eight young men of good fami , ies are now in prison at Bologna ror having recommended people not to smoke; and that a young man had been wounded with a stiletto for having sin( .ced in the streets. RAMBLES in the CR YSTAL PALACE. (THIS DAY.) The beautiful weather has tempted numbers to •isit the Crystal Palace, and at 11 o'clock the building pre at-nted a❑ animatEd appearance. The proceeds of yes terday amounted to more than 2,5001. We have no doubt that they will be found equally satisfactory this day. _ _ _ Her Majesty's tour of inspection yesterday was con fined to the north side of the Briti,h Department, and more particularly the Fine Arts Court. To day is the first day of the extended hours, and as seven o'clock is by no means a late hour for sight seers at this time of the year, we may Expect that this hour will still fur ther be enlarged. This morning the following objects more particularly attracted our attention:— In the Furniture Det;tirtment, Mr. Nye, of Tunbridge, exhibits two tables, a tidy's work-box, and a book stand. All these are mosaics. One of the tables is composed of 110.800 pieces of nsive and foreign wood ; the other is composed of 129,540 pieces. The book-stand is inlaid with ►wo butte , flies, ore, a mossic, consisting of 11.000 pieces of wood, in their natural colours, found in some parts of Africa and India; and the other butterfly is a mosaic, of 13 000 piece s of wood, from Amboyna. On the work-box is the reiresentation of part of the remains if Bay ham tibbey. 'NS also is a mosaic, of 13,000 pieces of wood, in their natural colours. The workman ship in all of these is of the most exquisite description, and great taste has elidentiy been displayed in the execution. as LINES LEAS: 'TALL • Leasing I Railways. Paid. Nominal Prices.

Mr. Baron ALDERSON said it certainly ought; it w as an unPird..nable omission on the part of the magistrate ur his clerk. The statement which the prisoner made on his second examination, and which was taken down in writing, was then pr , in. Ic was simply this, "All I have to say is before the mt aagi-iistruapteu.n himself. He that it was done quite accidedtal."

The bones of the nose were broken on the left side. There were other minor injuries ; tho lower right jaw, for instance, was broken, and one of the hands was severely bruised. There could not have been less than three blows struck, there might have been four. The injuries were such as might have been produced by a poker. He remained under my care for a fortnight, and then he died, and from an examination that I subsequen ly made I bolieva his death resulted from the hrger wound on the head. Cross-examined—l asked the deceased how it hap pened, aid be said he did not know, as he was in bed at the time, but be always showed a reluctance to saying anything upon the sub! ct, and be died without giving any account of the quirrel.

QUEEN'S BENCH.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings at Nisi Prno4 at 14 estminster, belle the LORD CHIEF JUSTICE and a Common Jury.) GEDDES V. WHITMORE AND OTHERS. This was an action in trover to recover the value of large quntity of china, glass, and linen, which the de fendants, as official assignees of a bankrupt,:had seised and disposed of by public auction. l‘lr. Sergeant Wilkins, Mr. J. H. Hodgson, and Mr. Richard Martin, appeared for the plaintiff; and Mr. Sergeant Sheo and Mr. Grady conducted the case for the defendants. The damages were laid at 6001. There were two pleas —not guilty, and the payment of 401. into court. Mr. Sergeant WILKINS, in stating the case, to the jury, said the plaintiff, Mr. George Todd Geddes. held a situation in the secretary's department of the Pest-office, and previous to proceeding abroad, in 1843, deposited with Mr. shooter, who then kept the Bull lon, in Eishopsgate-s'reet, three boxes and two crates containing valuable china and glass and also linen, under an sign ement to pay I s . a wee k f o r rent or ware house rot en. Some time afterwards Mr. Shooter re te.ived to Camomile street, taking the goods with him , and in 1847 became a bankrupt. The messengers of the C ourt too k possession of these geo de, and d of them, together with the bankrupt's for ati ifling sum. Oa the plaintiff returning home, i n 1850, he soon ascertained what had taken Or e in his absence, and applied to the offieial 119 4 , i uses for compensation for the loss be l ' ; ,„ property, sustained, but the amount they ()tiered to Rive was wholly inadequate to cover the value of the property. Many of the articles were of a very character, one article alone being worth 501. T he Learned Sergeant, in conclusion, contended that the sig n which had been paid in court, 40/ didnotreprese nt third of their value. Evidence having been given to prove the above WM, Mr. Sergeant 6REE admitted, on the part of thede fendants, that trey were responsible for the geode which need come into their hands, but contended that the P is l tt i superior tiff had adduced no evidence to show that they were the messenger alleged value, or that when they were seized by messenger they were in the same condition as when t he f, were first deposited wirh th e b an k rupt. He s h ou ld Prt that nearly all the packag e s h a d b een opene d , a nd the contents broken or dama g ed, and it was very p robabl e that duri ng t h e pl a i nt iff' s l ong absence some A rticle s might have Leen stolen.

Witnesses were then called by the Learned Counse l ' and they stated th a t t h e c hi na an d g l ass was very much broken and damaged, and the linen in a perished state when the messenger seized the b a nk ru p t ' s effects, a nd that they brought a fair price at the sale. Mr..HopcsoN replied in a lucid and able address; pa d Lord CAM PBELL h av i ng b r i, fl y summed up the 01`. deuce, The jury returned a verdict for the defendants, so said they were of opinion that the money paid int o court was sufficient. . , Busints3 don: to-day. 19 Paid.
