Mr, Blake, an officer in the Customs, stated that on Saturday eve n i te4 h e was pass i ng down the Heyeastleet between 8 end 9 o'clock, when the prisoner "came up and wished him to treat her. He, however, would have no thing to do with her, tta walked rapidly on, but the prisoner still followed him, and at the bottom of the Haymarket he turned to look for a policeman. While he was no standing the prisoner suddenly tore open his coat, waistcoat, and the front of his trousers, leaving him completely exposed; but, thinking she had done this out of spite because he would not treat her, he took no notice of it. Directly afterwards two men passed by and she pushed against him as if to allow them to pass, and then he discovered that his watch, which was worth between 41. and 5/., was gone. The prisoner immediately ran away, but he pursued her, dodging her up and down courts and bye-lanes, till they got to the Horse Guards, when the prisoner suddenly stopped and asked him what he was follow in.' her for. He told her that when he came up with a policeman she would discover that; whereupon she exclaimed, " I suppose you think I have stolen your watch." Previously, however, he had said nothing about a watch, and even now he did not tell her what he had lost, but in a few minutes a police man came upon the spot, and ho gave her into his cus tody, telling her for the first time what it was that he accused her of. Mr. HALL—Was the watch found upon her? Witness —No. Mr. HALL—Bad she any opportunity, then, of dis posing of it? Witness— She passed close to the two men, and I imagine she must have transferred it to one of them. I had two shillings and a half-sovereign in my waistcoat pocket. The latter was safe, but the former were gone. Two shillings, and only two, were found upon the prisoner at the station•bouse. The prisoner denied all knowledge of the watch. She was fully committed for trial. MARLBRO'-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A BRUTAL HUSBAND AND A MrDIAAWS LOVE.- Henry Postlethwaitc, an artist, residing at 76, Margaret street, Cavendish-sqUare, was placed before Mr. Bing ham, charged with violently assaulting his wife Henrietta, and threatening to kill her by blowing her brains out with-a pistol. The complain'ant, a delicate woman of lady-like ap pearance, stated, on Saturday evening, about 7 o'clock, as she and her husband were sitting at dinner, the latter without the' least provocation whatever started up from his chair, and said, in a most excited manner, that he would kill all foreigners, as he thought there would be a war between France and England, and as a beginning, he would kill her first, and would do it by shooting her through the neck. She said, " What have I done that you should use such words to me, and why do you always get so excited after dinner." He replied it was not only atter dinner that he had those feelings, he always had them. He then rushed upon her and, catching her by the throat with both hands, tried to strangle her. With great exertions she contrived to get from his clutches, and ran to the window. He fol lowed her, and throwing up the sash, said if she did not throw herself out he would do it for her. She screamed most violently and ran towards the door, when he took up a loaded pistol, which was lying on the sofa, presented it at her, and swore he would shoot her. Before he pre sented the pistol he took a cap from the mantle-piece, and placed it on the nipple of the pistol. Believing that he really intended to murder her, she ran out of the room, and, in order to escape his violence she threw herself down the kitchen stairs, calling upon the landlord of the house to protect her. Her landlord came to her aid, and a constable was sent for, and the prisoner was secured and conveyed to the station. She did not now wish to harm him; all she wanted was pr o t ec ti on f rom hi s vio lence, as he had on many occasions threatened to take her lite. The accused, in defence, said he occasionally laboured under very excited feelings, which deprived him of all power to restrain himself from committing violence. He denied a greater portion of his wife's statement, which was totally false. Mr. BINGHAM ordered him to find two sureties to keep the peace far six months, and directed that a medical man should see him in order to examine him as to the state fif his mind. Bail not being forthcoming, the prisoner was about being led from the dock to his cell, when a most affecting scene in court took place. The complainant rushed from the witness box, and, crying bitterly, threw her arms round her husband's neck, and begged the officer not to take him from her. The husband likewise begged the magistrate not to separate him from his " dear " wife. They embraced each other so closely that it took the united strength of two officers to separate them. The complainant was then carried out of court in a state of insensibility. CLERKEN WELL.-(THIS DAY.) A fierce-looking lad, named James Fitzgerald, Was placed at the bar before Mr. Tyrwhitt, charged with brutally ill-using and maltreating a cat. Mr. Thomas attended to watch the case on behalf of the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. A little girl, named Fanny Glover, who lives with her parents in Waters-court, Islington, said on Friday fort night she saw the defendant run up the court after the cat and seize hold of it by the neck, and then lift it up and apply a piece of lighted paper to its tail. The poor creature struggled and writhed severely from pain and fright, and at length succeeded in escaping from her assailant, but he followed her and beat her so unmerci fully with a stick that she shortly afterwards died. Mrs. Phillips, who also lived in the purlieus of Waters court, corroborated the testimony of the preceding wit ness, and added that the cat, which was a strange one, had taken refuge in her house, and that when she re monstrated with the defendant about his cruelty, he told her he would kill fifty cats and her too if she did not take care. She attributed the conduct of the defendant to some ill-will which his family had against her, be cause she appeared as a witness against his mother, who was charged several years ago with breaking open a person's head. Ever since then she''had been in hot water with them. MAGISTRATE—Why don't you leave the neighbour hood? Witness—Not because I like it; your Worship. It is no very beautiful place, I assurtryou; but my bread lies there.—(A laugh.) The defendant did not deny the charge, but said the cat was in a rabid state, and that he had been requested by the neighbours to kill it. MAGISTRATE (to witness)—Was the cat rabid or mad? Witness—Mad! oh no, sir. It could eat its victuals as well as you or I.—(Laughter.) The MAGISTRATE said the case was a very cruel one, and he should order the defendant to pay a fine of 205., or be imprisoned fur a month. The defendant was then removed. ' SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

On Friday an inquiry into the circumstances attending his death was entered into before Mr. W. Joyner Ellis, the co roner for the eastern division of the county, which resulted in the committal of three men, named William Trethery, John Nelmes, and William Lovell, to take their trial for manslaughter at the next ensuing Gloucestershire assizes. The facts elicited are briefly these : It seems that the un fortunate deceased had an idiot daughter, named Elizabeth Knight, who on Monday last attended some festivities which are annually customary at Berkeley, and although her father told her he wished her to be at home, she persisted in dancing till a very late hour, when he took her forcibly away, and it is stated that on their way home he chastised her somewhat severely with a whip. This act, it appears, was witnessed by the three prisoners abovementioned, and it so exasperated tAem that they waylaid the deceased, beat him most unmer cifully about the head, and left him for dead en the spot. He was there found by the Berkeley police with his skull dread fully fractured ; he lingered till Wednesday, but was unable during the intervening period to articulate a distinct sylla ble. The medical evidence adduced at the inquest clearly showed that death resulted from the wounds on the head of the deceased. In addition to the three prisoners committed for trial, two others were charged before the jury, but they were acquitted. - - • A S HTONOUNDER , •LYNE, MAY 17.--This morning an event of an extraordinary and melancholy description took place in the parish church. The Venerable Archdeacon Rushton held his annual court in the church for the admis sion of churchwardens and sidesmen, elected at the recent Easter vestries. Amongst the wardens presenting them selves for admission were those from a chapel of ease in the parish, known as Cocker-hill chapel. The congregation and office-bearers of the church and their pastor, the Rev. Mr. France, had long been estranged. It appears that this year there was a contest again for churchwardens, the rate payers electing one and the pastor another. This brought Mr. France to the Archdeacon's Court this morning. Th e circumstances of the double election were stated, when the Archdeacon decided in favour of admitting the minister's warden, and Mr. France thus triumphed over his opponents. The triumph of the unfortunate gentleman, however, was but of momentary duration ; the instant after the Archdeacon had announced his decision, Mr. France sank down on the floor of the church, and expired before any assistance could be obtained. The cause of death is supposed to have been apoplexy. COURAGEOUS CONDUCT OF A CLERGYMAN: As the Rev. Thomas Bull, of Corby, was driving between liar borough and Farndon on Tuesday evening last, he observed in a field adjoining the road a ring formed and two men en gaged in a pitched battle. Alone and unattended, he, leav ing his horse and gig under the care of a person in the road, immediately made his way up to the assembled crowd,rushed through the ring formed and separated the combatants, keeping them from each other at arm's length, and calling upon them to desist from such a disgraceful proceeding. To this the men _actually engaged Seemed disposed to acquiesce, 60% r •- ' .4 - 174 1314 pNDAY .EV OVerawed by-the reverend gentletnart 2 s firna-tone- and--clecishu manner- The crowd, however, composed, as is usual, of navvies" and some of the lowest characters, finding that the brutal sport WhiCh they were enjoying was likely to come to a ::lose, commenced assailing the reverend gentleman with hooting and hissing, threatening to knock him down and settle him if he persisted in interrupting their sport. Nothing daunted, however, by their threats and violent conduct, Mr. Bull boldly faced some of those who were most Vociferous in their declaration of doing him some bodily injury, and told them that, although he knew himself alone and unsupported, he cared not the least for their threats, and, daring any one to lay a finger on him, he boldly and firmly told them that he was resolved not to leave the field till the men had put on their clothes, and, the field being cleared, an end was put to such a disgraceful proceeding. The mob, seeing how determined the rev. gentleman was, and overawed by his bold and un flinching bearing, immediately dispersed, some of those who had been most violent in their threats and abuse declaring that he was a brave fellow, and that no one should touch or molest him. Such courageous conduct is worthy of imita tion, although in his praiseworthy endeavour to put a stop to so brutalising an exhibition the rev. gentleman ran a great personal risk. A question, naturally arises, where were the police ?-IVorthampto n _Herald. TRINITY TERM. —On W ednesday next Trinity term- the last before the long vacation —will commence, on which day the law offices will be opened, having been closed on Saturday for the holidays. According to the list of arrears in the several law courts, there is an increase of nearly ninety cases, comp'red with the commencement of Easter Term last. In the Court of Queen's Bench the present arrears number Ma, in the Common Pleas 46, and in the Exchequer PO. In the Court of Queen's Bench there are of special cases and demurrers 7 for judgment and 46 for argument, whilst in the new trial paper there is 1 for judgment and 102 for argu ment. In the Court of Common Pleas there are 3 enlarged rules in the remanet paper, 7 for new trials, 11 matters standing for judgment, and 25 demurrers entered for argu ment. In the Exchequer there are 7 rules in the peremptory paper, 10 special cases for argument, and 7 demurrers for argument, besides 19 matters standing for the judgment of the Court, and 47 rules nisi in the new trial paper.- At the commencement of Easter Term the arrears in the Queen's Bench numbered 130, in the Common Pleas 31, and in the Exchequer 43 - they now reach to nearly 300, exclusive of Crown cases in the Court of Queen's Bench. MONUMENTAL TABLETS FOR THE POOR.—Earthen ware or terracotta tablets, impressed by moveable types, might be specially adapted for the purpose. It would still more simplify and cheapen the process if the constant and formal part of the inscription were stereotyped. The rest only would have to be supplied as it was wanted. The in scribed pottery of Pompeii has made thousands wonder how the ancients missed the art of printing. That pottery, and still more that of Egypt and Babylon, proves how durably it preserves the records committed to its keeping. The idea of a terracotta tombstone is new in this country, and no doubt if properly glazed it would be as durable as any other ma terial, but the great advantage, as it appears to us, is this a great degree of elegance of form and ornamentation could be attained at comparatively little expense. What is par ticularly new in this project is the application of moveable type fort theimpressing inscriptions in the soft clay, afterwards pu b s e e f rendered durable by baking, for as to impressing inscriptions on the clay and then baking them, the babylonish bricks and cylinders testify to a considerable antiquity, It is curious, also, that the idea of the application of moveable type should follow—as in the case of printing — after the first process had been so long practised.

AN INFORMER OUTWITTED.—The driver of a coach which journeys between a distant city and Bath, last week received a hint from the ostler of an inn in the suburbs of the latter city that a common inforiner was seated on the roof of his coach. Conscious that he had exceeded his licensed number the knight of the whip resigned the ribands to the ostler, and hastened to the magistrates, laid an iufor mation against himself, was fined Si., and received back one half (21. 108.) as the informer's fee. Great was the.chagrin of the common informer on presenting himself before the bench, for a summons, to find that he had been forestalled. Bristol Mercury. I GAEDtNERs' BENEVOLENT INSTITITrioN. -- On Wednesday the anniversary festival of this charity was theld at the Londgp Coffee-hoese, Ludgate-hill. This is one of the most moderd of the various charities connected with the trade of the metropolis, its establishment dating back only some dozen years. As stated in the report, it owed its origin to a few private indivi duals, who, having seen with fu regret that gardeners as a class , from the smallness of their 'hinge, and who, after a life wages and their peculiar avo cations, were generally unable stt to many e n r n mt a ai k nny e a a d p uu r ni o gf v oer i l s le i ts o ,e n ae rciftoirnv active, eaesinsridtoifeladsi, l service, were red uc ed this charity in 1838 to provide for this class of men and their widows. In a short time the committee were enabled from the subscrip tions received to place 34 pensioners upon their funds, and to establish a reserve fund, which now amounts to upwards of 2,0001., invested in Government Securities. One feature in the charity is that those who are likely to become its recipi ents are encouraged to contribute to its funds, while they are in a position to do so, by a rule which gives to gardeners who may have contributed for 15 years, and who after that period become destitute, the first claim upon the institurion. On this occasion the chair was filled by the Earl of Carlisle, who was supported by H. T. Hope, Esq., ALP., H. Pownall, Esq., J. Paxton, Esq., Dr. Lindley, and others of the stewards. The chairman detailed the objects of the institution, and ap pealed for further support, stating at the flame time that, although there were twenty applicants for relief, the state of the funds would allow them to elect only two. The amount of subscriptions reported by the secretary during the evening was nearly 4001., in addition to which 1661. 19s. was an nounced as received for the sale of a collection of plants given by the Duke of Northumberland. AN ACCOMPLISHED HOSSEWOMAN.—AS Miss Gard ner, sister of Mrs. Hannington, jun., was taking exercise on horseback near Kemp Town, shortly before ten o'clock on Tuesday morning, the groom's horse stumbled and threw him ; and the horse on which Miss Gardner was riding took fright and ran off at a fearful rate into Brighton, proceeding down the Marine Parade at not less than twenty miles an hour. Fortunately, the young lady 'kept her seat, showing at the same time her intrepidity and excellent horsemanship. The horse passed the Albion Hotel at the top of his speed, and taking the pavement in front of Mr. Shaw, the confec tioner's, and at the back of the Royal York Hotel, galloped into Pool Valley, and without at all checking his speed dashed into East-street, to the - great alarm of, the persons who were passing ai the time. The animal here turned to the right, and ran along the pavement on the west side of East-street, till it reached Mrs. Leppard's house, where it was suddenly stopped by the young lady's forehead coming in contact with the blind, when some person caught hold of the horse's reins. The heroic lady, then dismounted, and went into Mr. Greenin's shop. To say that she was not alarmed would be, of course, out of the question ; but, per haps, no female under similar circumstances ever displayed more fortitude. Having taken a draught of water, and thanked the persona who had conic to her assistance, she gathered up her riding habit. and walked to Mr. Harming ton's, as if nothing had occurred. We understand that her forehead is bruised. Brighton Gazette. The groom was considerably hurt,— HENLET*ON-THAME S REGATTA.—The great aquatic meeting at Henley-on-Thames, at which many gentlemen from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge and other great aquatic clubs, are expected to take a very prominent part, is appointed for the 14th and 15th of June. The entries are to be made on or before the 4th of June with Mr. Nash, the hon. secretary, at Henley. DEATH Or SIR JAMES FLOWER, BART.—We have to record the demise of this baronet, for many years a mem ber of the Lower House. He expired on the 17th instant, at i d h e elesaisle withgentleman a c r o l n o t t e . s E t e u d s t tohne, nowrepr e D s e u n k t a e t i o o f n G o r f a l ft ' his seat, Mill-bill, Hendon, Middl esex , age d fif ty -fi ve . Th e h o h e t , f To, a double return was the result. On petition, Sir James was, however, declared the sitting member. In politics he was a Tory, He withdrew at the last general election, and was succeeded by the Earl of Euston, son to his former antago nist. The deceased was the son of the first baronet, whom he sueceded in 1834, by the daughter and co-heiress of Joseph Squire, Esq., .of Portsmouth. He married, in 1816, the daughter of Sir Walter Sterling, Bart., of Faskew ; but by that lady does not leave any issue. The deceased gentleman filled the office of High Sheriff of Norfolk in 1838, and was appeinted a Deputy - Lieutenant of Herefordshire in 1843. The first baronet was a'leading alderman of the city of Lon don, and filled the office of Lord Mayor in 1807, the year of the Jubilee. The baronetcy. now becomes extinct, and the f am ily property will fall to some of the female branches. The estates are situate in the counties of Middlesex, Oxon, Here ford, and'Norfolk. TII,E CONVICT ANNETTE MrEns.--This criminal, who was convicted at the Old Bailey, in 1848, °l i the murder him in St. James's Park, and sentenced Lord ing Chief Baron, was, upon the commuta tionof Henry Ducker, a guardsman, by whom shp had been and the substitution of the punish for life ordered by the Secretary of stmeo de death e punish ment seduced, dhf that bh b r yaay thessphs eoo sentence, ae nt co en, State to be imprisoned in the ' Westminster Bridewell for the space of two years. That period having expired on Satur day, the prisoner was removed from the Bridev,•ell to the millbaai Penitentiary, preparatory to the sentence of trans portation being carried into effect, and she will be amongst the next batch of convicts sent to Van Diemen's Land. Her health is now much improved ; but during the first part of her imprisonment she suffered very much, and was con tinually in the deepest grief and melancholy. It was at one time thought t hat her reason wa s affected; . but the authori ties have satisfied themselves that such is not the case. INQUEST ON MAJOR-GENERAL SIR JAMES SU- TnEaLAND.—On Saturday morning, at eight o'clock,-an in quest was held before Mr. Wakley,. the coroner; at No. 8, Great Cumberland -street, H y de Park, the private residence of Major-General Sir James Sutherland, aged 66, of the Hon. East India Company's service. It appeared that the le sudde his lady's nly and Lady Suther laigrasped gallant officer, who ha s seen a g rea t deal of service , in India, had enjoyed perfect h ealth up to Wed nesday last, when he had invited a large nu mber of friends to dinner and an even ing party. He was g ivin g instructio ns to his butler with respect shoulder, and instantly fell to the g roun d. Dr. Edwards, a surgeon in' he neighbourhoo d, was sen t for, and immediatelyattended, attended, but life had become extinct in a few mi n utes. On making a post mortal examination, a c l ot o f bl oo d was iaw as to standing h e wines near in h hs drawing-room,m. found on the heart, which was the ca use of death., There was also disease of the kidneys. Verdict—" Natural Death." ARTISTS' GEXERAL BENEVOLENT INSTITUTION. — On Saturday evening a n amateur performance by artists took place, at the St. James's Theatre, for the benefit of this valuableA ha n stitution. We were happy to find the theatre so crovided by so highly respectable an audience. The per formance, as a whole, reflected great credit on the gentle men who volunteered their services; indeed, there were scarcely any of those blemishes and hitches which so often spoil the effect of amateur performances, The first piece was Jerrold's Rent Day, the characters sustained by Mr. Topham, Mr. Tenniel, Mr. Frank Roll, Mr. Hanamerton, Mr. Angell, Messrs. W. and John Wilson, Mr. J. D. Wingfield, Mr. C. R. Stanley, and Mr. P. W. Men. These amateurs were assisted by two ladies, Miss Tellet and that very intelligent and gracefull actress Miss Cooper. The play was performed with an ensemble of excellence which might put to shame some of our established theatres. The last piece was Col man's Poor Gentleman, which was also very well perforined. Between the two pieces Mr. George Cruikshank provoked immense laughter by his humorous singing of the ballad of "Lord Bateman." BRomPTON HOSPITAL.—On Friday evening a nu merous meeting of the Board of Management was held at this institution; Major Lyon in the chair. The routine bu siness having transpired, the " Special . Building Extension Fund" was adverted to; and progress reported. The sum re quired for the so-much-desired completion of the building is 10,0001. The subscription has been opened in a satisfactory manner. The first list of stewards for the approaching anni versary dinner was then read, containing the names of some highly influential noblemen and. Honourable gentleme n . Th e f est i va l will be presided over by the Eight Lord Feiers ham. Other business having been disposed of, the usual vote of thanks was passed to the chair, and the meting id- journed. SHEFFIELD AND RETFORD BANNING COMPANY.— A call to defray the liabilities has been made on the share 6 holders to the extent of 111. per share, any surplus;.tiOvice , to b 9 repaid them. MAT . 20, 1850. NING • LITER.A. SIN AND SORROW. A Tale—. 3 Vols. The author of "ling Arthur" has beautifully de scribed as the triple bond of all humanity— " Three truths unite the children of the sod— All love, all suffer, and all feel a God." The same words might be applied to the title of these volumes. Sin and sorrow are unhappily as common to man as is the air he breathes. Hence the subject of this work is essen tially one of universal interest, and, the manner in which it has been treated is such as to render the book as valuable in a moral, point of view as it is beautiful and deeply interesting as a tale. In em ploying the word interesting, we do not apply it so much to the plot of the story as to the portrayal of its characters. With regard to the main incident of the" narrative, the • " sin,' which is the cause of all the "sorrow" so vividly and so pathetically detailed, it might perhaps have been avoided with advantage, and the many and varied beauties of the whole composition, and the most excellent lessons which it so forcefully inculcates would, in that case, have bad a better chance of finding favour in the eyes of a greater multitude of readers. But as it is, in a moral point of view, the incident alluded to in no way derogates from the value of the work. On the contrary, never was sin more sinlessly described, and never was sorrow more effectively shown forth as its immediate and inevitable consequence. Not only does the reader of this novel find in its pages no seductive pictures of vice, but, on the contrary, while he is led to abhor its commission and to shudder at its consequences, he is also, and in the most alluring manner, made acquainted by example with the beauty and sweetness of virtue, and he is likely to close the third volume a wiser and a better man. We have already intimated that the author might have • chosen, a happier theme, and we might also find fault with. the too complicated manner in which a very simple story is set forth ; but having said thus much in censure of the work, we cannot too highly eulogise its style and sentiments. The spirit which pervades the whole is one which, for us, is capable of rendering any theme whatsoever attrac tive—a spirit of universal and unaffected charity. Why ,we so especially appreciate and admire the lessons set forth in these volumes is because the charity which they inculcate, both by precept and example, is of an essentially practical nature—a sort of benevolence of which there is, much need at the present day both in public and private. Of theoretical charity we have enough, and more than enough, but such self-abnegation as is here exhibited in Lady Emily, or such :continual kindness in appa rent trifles as is practised by the joyous Fanny Evelyn is • unhappily, not too commonly visible in the world. Ultimately the sinful husband of the virtuous and sorrowful Lady Emily is redeemed from his guilty career, and confesses that his wife " has fulfilled her mission, and won by love and a spotless example." "I have seen in you," he says, "that religion was mote than a name and a dogma. I have seen an ex ample of pure, unselfish love, whose existence I never believed. I have seen you bear my unreason able irritation—my apparent alienation—without a ftown of anger or a word of reproach. The faith I had despised as a prejudice I now see is a reality and truth." In this and in other passages unneces sary to quote is contained instruction and encourage ment for the wives of England as excellent as any that Mrs. Ellis ever penned. In fact the triumph of Lady Emily is only an illustration of the saying of the Apostle as to how those who obey not, the word " May be won by the conversation of the wives." The style of the whole narration is singularly beau tiful, and it is very evident that the sentiments ex pressed by the writer are all genuine and heartfelt. IVe might cull from these pages a vast number of beautiful thoughts and truthful observations, of which the following, taken almost at random, are a specimen : SECRETARY OF THE • TRADFORD RUF I OR4 - Sir,-r-On the 14ff tlitintsendletirned over Wed nesday,',for the celebration of the Queen's birthday. On Thursday theA6th, the 3farriages Bill was very neat beiUg made an end of, through what must have been alvant of forecast on the part of its conductors ; teibg Saved from being thrown out on the motion for going into Committee, - by only 42 against 40. In Committee a strenuous effort was made to .eject , the dada, to legitimize the offspring of past marriages. A legal notability challenged the House to produce a precedent for such proceeding, and, declared it mon strous and uttntly unheard-of. A lay Member, with no knowledge' beyond general recollections of English histOry, intimated across the House , that' he would produce a.precedent. Being a• sort of Pariah in the pouse, it' was only with great perseverance, and after all effect of immediate answer had gone by, that he was able to 'adduce his precedent. It consisted of the Statutes pro and contra on the subject of priests' mar riages in the times connected with' the Reformation. The next day he got the, assistance of counsel, who speedily disinterred for him the most complete mass of precedent which imagination could devise. If u ' playwright in one of those interesting dramas where a virtuous lawyer acts as the dens ex machina, had fa bricated according to his own will and pleasure, it could not have been surpassed. 31 Henry 8, cap. 6, enacts that religious persons being priests, or that bare vowed religion at 21 years of age. shall not marry. Cap. 14 of the same, is "An Act for abolishing Diversity in Opinions." Enacts that if any priest after the 12th day of July do marry or contract matrimony, he shall. be deemel and adjudged a felon, and suffer pains of death, &c., and forfeit all his lands and goods. A succeeding section enacts, that if any person 'who is or hath been a priest before this present Parliament, hath married &c., such marriage shall be void ; and _further if any person as aforesaid after the said 12th day of July do openly be conversant (the expressions are too coarse for quotation in the present day, and appear intended to be taken from a Statute against bestiality ) with any woman to whom he is or hath been married or contracted, every such act shall be deemed felony as well against the man as the woman. ' - 2 and 3 Ed. 6, c. 21, is ‘•An Act to take away all po sitive Laws made against Marriage of Priest's. Makes void all Manner of Forfeitures &c. as well concerning Marriages heretofore made by any of the Ecclesiastical or Spiritual Persons aforesaid, as also such which here after shall be duly and lawfully had and made." 5 and 6, Ed. 6, .c. 12, is "An Act touching the De claration of, a Statute made fOr the Marriage of Priers, and for the Legitimation of iheChildrhn." 1 Mary, seas. 2, c. 2 repeals the two Acts of Ed ward 6. 1 Jac. 1, c. 25, B. 48, repeals the Statute of Mary. and s. 49 and 50 revive the two Statutes of FA. 6 by name. What becomes of the argument that it is monstrous to talk of legitimizing the offspring of those who have married in neglect of the statute of 1835, when here we have -the law legitimizing offspring whose parents, male and female, were declared to have been telons by the act of giving them life ? The attempt to eject was • defeated by a majority approaching to two to one, being 111 against 68. An attempt to cut off the Scottish Liberals from the benefit of the Bill, was resisted by. a narrower ma jority, being only 144 against 137. Whenever a piece of bigotry is to be hatched et preserved, the egg is laid in Scotland. • , At the same time it would be wrong to overlook the splendid manner in which the first Law Officer in Scotland, ordinarily of scholastic and somewhat re tiring habit, roused himself to a' .display of the per fervidum ingeniurn of his country, when pushed to take hi's stand between law and unreason,--between the dignity of knowledge, and the degradation of bigotry which will not reason, amalgamating with the infirmity which cannot. On Friday, explanations•touching the strange and scarcely yet unravelled departure of the French Am bassador. Everything cuts two ways, and so does this. The French Royalists, always the bitter ene mies of England even when foolishly serving them, think to promote their views bydistracting the atten tion of . the French to war. Such, from the days of Rome, and as much further as the case was ever found, has always been the policy of G-overnments afraid of popular opposition. But, on the other hand, they have given to the revolutionary volcano which is rising through the earth against them, a, ne• cessary sort of appui in England ; for it is plain that though the results of that explosion should be what England should ever so much deplore, it is impossible for any expression of this to be otherwise 'than maimed by the facts of the last few. days. There is no use iu trying to saddle the English Go- vernment with a love for Red Republics ; the reactionary party, by putting ' themselves into a hostile attitude towards England, have made England perforce to a ce_r_tain extentthe negative ally of anything that may present itself as hostile to the reactionaries. The pacific disposition of the English people has been proved under former attempts at alarm. An important element on the other side is that neither the French army nor the National Guard is covetous of an attack on general Europe. 1\ ith the army'the trade of war is gone by. A French soldier quietly' fulfils his seven or five years of heroship in Algiers ; but at the end of the vista he sees, not the baton of a Illarechal d'Ernpire as his father did, but the chimney-corner where he left the girl he intends to marry and 13e a notable in his commune. The National Guar are avowedly the soldiers of peace the first thing from which they would guard the nation, would be another march to Moscow. They wisely would prefer the view of the Exhibition of 1851, to anything they would take by encamping at Boulogne. The circumstances on the whole are complicated; but the result will probably be, that the French and English nations will be found to have been laughing at their rulers, and carrying on to the best of their ability their own several views. On the same day, a debate on bringing in a Bill to abolish the office of Lord-Lieutenant in Ireland. In ,he history of the Spaniards who followed Columbus, it is recorded that tliey sent to an American chieftain' an embassy with hand-cuffs under the name of orna - ments, and it was not till he was in the Spanish camp that he found out he was a prisoner. The Irish who stand out for a Lord-Lieutenant, appear to be under the same kind of hallucination. The House on rising adjourned till the 23d. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, AN OLD REFORMER. London, 20th May, 1850. A FACT TOO OFTEN FORGOTTEN. "As in the external world, nature has the good and the ornamental so marvellously mixed—the fragrant flower with the teeming wheat— beautiful colours and nutritious food, so in the work of man this great model must Rot be lost sight of ; and we are bound not only to labour, that the pressing wants and severe sufferings of our brother man may be relieved, but we must hail all that extends to the poorest and lowest those innocent joys and pleasures which we ourselves receive and feel, as the loving gifts of our Father in Heaven." LOVE. "In Marie Augustine was displayed all that love could do for a woman. , It did for her all that it was in tended when Eve was placed in the garden of Eden. She bad neither sought adulation nor flattery—neither riches nor ease—neither rank nor a palace. She 'had sought a temple for her worship—a shrine where she might deposit her inmost thought—an altar where she might sacrifice herself." TEMPTATION. " Temptations and circumstances aro often more within control than might be at first imagined. Few persons fall into grievous aim who have not tampered with and silenced the voice within at an early period. If the simple maxim—never to do on any occasion that which we know to be wrong—had been early followed, the light within would never be extinguished.' JUDGE NOT. "Persons' exteriors often conceal as many virtues as vices, and even more; for I have always observed that persons' defects are generally more conspicuous and more salient than their excellences. It is a truth never to be forgotten, that it is a much easier task to find Lulu than virtues—defects than excellences." THE HARMONY OF NATURE. " On this fair scene rested an eye of love and devotion. Not a form, or a colour, or a passing shadow escaped its notice. Alive to the poetry of Nature, Lady Emily Somerton felt how one voice, one life pervaded and ani mated the whole. Her own soul she felt was filled at the same fount. The harmony which marked all convinced her that the varied forms of life were but influxes from one source—the great and beneficent Creator. Nature thus viewed had been to Lady Emily a companion and friend, and she had found her power inexhaustible. To her the dumb abyss had become vocal with speech—re fining, soothing, and elevating." FORGUTTEN TRUTHS. " She recognised in those prisoners her brother men, born with like wants, animated with like pas sions, gifted with like powers, heirs to like promise, destined to like immortality; but put in harder places, untaught, undisciplined, unenlightened; put in the front row, exposed to the enemy's deadliest weapons, his fiercest temptations, without friends, or home, or re-f, fuge, or a God. Such is the dark population of our prisons. Men who, though now deformed by vice, and hardened to insensibility by its baneful inilneno,:., might, under other circumstances, with softer training, patient tuition, brighter examples, have become good and beneficent. They are but the refuse, the dregs of society ! is often coutmaptuously said ; and why are they so? Chiefly because they have not early learned habits of self-restraint." Some portions of the narrative display considerable power of description and great depth of feeling. Marie Augustine at the convent, struggling between inclination and remorse, and Lady Emily's agony on learning her husband's perfidy, are portrayed with a master-hand—the description in each case being ren dered doubly powerful and pathetic from its exceeding simplicity and seeming naturalness. PENDENNIS. Part Xi'''. By W. 111. Thackeray. Little Fanny Bolton, the daughter of the porter at Shepherd's Inn, is evidently destined to exercise an important influence over the fate of Pendennis. Our readers no doubt remember the Vauxhall party, at which Pendennis first became acquainted with Fanny, who was chaperoned to the gardens by Captain Cos tigan. They each become in love with each other, and Pendennis, in order to save the girl from ruin or himself from a inesallianee, which would to him be ruin, determines not to see her. This first attempt at self control is, however, too much for him, and throws him into a raging fever, during the course of which he is delirious, and his mother, accompanied by Laura, and the Major, having heard of his danger, come up to town and knock gently at the door of his chambers, which is opened to them by Fanny Bolton, concern ing whom it should be observed that poor Helen had heard all sorts of evil reports. The following account of the miseries of life in chambers is admirable. It is the introductory paragraph to the description of the illness of Pendennis " A committee of marriageable ladies, or of any Chris tian persons interested in the propagation of the domestic virtues, should employ a Cruikshank or a Leech, or some other kindly expositor of the follies of the day, to make a series of designs representing the horrors of a bachelor's life in chambers, and leading the beholder to think of better things, and a more wholesome condition. What can be more uncomfortable than the bachelor's lonely breakfast?—with the black kettle in the dreary fire in Midsummer; or, worse still, with the fire gOne out at Christmas, half an hour after the laundress has quitted the sitting-room? Into this solitude the owner enters shivering, and has to commence his day by hunting for coals and wood; and before he begins the work, of a stu- - dent, has to discharge the duties of a housemaid, vice Mrs. Flanagan, who is absent without leave. 'Or, again, what can form a finer subject for the classical designer than the bachelor's shirt—that garment which be wants to assume just at dinner-time, and which he finds without any buttons to fasten it? Then there is the bachelor's return to chambers, after a merry Christmas holiday, spent in a cozy country -h ou se, full of pretty faces, and kind welcomes and regrets. He leaves his portmanter,u at the Barber's in the court: he lights his dismal old candle at the sputtering little letup on the stair: he enters the blank familiar room, where the only tokens to greet him. that show any ince7est in his personal welfare, are the Christmas bills, which are lying in wait for him, amiably spread out on his reading table. Add to those scenes an appalling picture of bachelor's illness, and the rents in the temple will begin to fall from the day of the publication cf the dismal diorama. To be well in chambers is melancholy, and lonely and selfish enough; but to be ill in chambers—to pass nights of pain and watchfulness—to long for the morning and the laundress —to serve yourself your own medicine by your' own watch—to have no other companion for long honrs but your own sickening fancies and fevered thoughts: no kind hand to give you drink if you are thirsty, or to s mooth the shot pillow that crumples under you, —this, indeed, is a We so dismal and tragic, that we'aliall 'not! enlarge upon its horrors; and shall only heartily pity those bachelors .0 the Temple who Prue it clay clay."
