The Sun. — London, England, 1845-05-06 00:00:00

NOTICE TO SUBSCRIBERS• The THIRD EDITION of THE SUN of last (Monday) Evening contained : The Conclusion of the Day's Proceedings before the different Railway Committees of the House of Commons. The Betting at Tattersalrs up to Six o'clock. The Parliamentary Proceedings of the Evening, being a fall Report of the Proceedings before both Houses of Parliament up to a Quarter before Seven o'clock. demoralising and unproductive, and that therefore it ought to be removed. _ --o - - The Earl of MALMESBURY considered that the agri cultural interest had been injured by the measures of the Government. The Earl of WINCHILSEA, Lord BEAUMONT, and Lord STANLEY supported the measure. The Marquis of NORMANBY objected to the abolition of the auction duty, because he considered that it would make the income-tax perpetual. On a division the numbers were—Content, 33 ; Non- Contents, 15 ; Majority, 18. The Bill then went through Committee, and wag ordered to be read a third time. The Customs Duty Bill passed through Committee, and the Bill was ordered to be read a third time to morrow. The Commons met at Four o'clock. Mr. F. FRENCH moved that the Irish Great Western (Dublin and Galway) Railway Bill be permitted to proceed. Mr. ESTCOTT opposed the motion. The motion was opposed by several Members of the Standing Orders Committee, but was eventually carried by a majority of 16, the numbers being—For the Motion, 97 ; Against, 81 ; Majority, 16. A long discussion ensued as to the attendance of Members on Railway Committees, and it was suggested by Mr. HUME and several other Hon. Members that a call of the House ought to take place, in order to compel the attendance of Irish Members. On the order of the day for the bringing up of the report on the Maynooth Bill being read, Mr. SHAEMAN CRAWFORD moved an amendment, that any provision for the separate or exclu sive education of any particular religious denomina tion, or for the support or endowment of any religious sect or sects by State grants, or funds raised by com pulsory assessment, whether under the name of tithes, rents, cesses, taxes, regium donum, or under any other name or form whatever, is a violation of the rights of conscience, detrimental to religious truth, and danger ous to civil and religious freedom, and that all such establishments, grants, or endowments now in existence in the United Kingdom ought to be discontinued with as little delay as may be consistent with a due•regard to the rights of those who have life interests in the same. This :motion gave rise to a lengthened discussion, which was terminated by a division in which Mr. CRAWFORD'S motion was rejected by 139, and the Re port on the Maynooth Grant was received. Lord PALMERSTON then rose to ask Sir R. PEEL a question respecting the slave-trade, that led to an ani mated debate, terminating, however, in no immediate re sult ; and, after the other orders of the day were dis posed of, the House adjourned. Fo- what are the Irish to be thankful ? For insults, calumnies, and disappointed hopes. There is an excep tion-26,0001. to the College of Maynooth. This, say their enemies, ought to satisfy all their cravings and make them the most grateful and obedient people in existence. But even this grant is not to be made with out a display most offensive to the nation and disgrace ful to humanity. A Tory Government proposes a heal ing measure. Any other Government might have tried the experiment, but the experiment would have failed. The Tories were blamed, and we blamed them among others, for their harsh proceedings towards the Irish nation—for withholding their just rights—for treating them as slaves—for calumniating their religion, and making them aliens and outcasts in the first empire of civilised Europe, which they had ennobled by their deeds. A Tory Government has admitted the grievous error—it wishes to make atonement, and begins with a grant about one-half in amount of what is given to the Pres byterians of the North. But the amount is nothing in the question ; the principle is everything ; and in what a miserable plight does principle appear. In the esti mates for the present year are the following grants :—For the Professors of Oxford and Cambridge—the richest Universities in the world-2,006/. ; Universities in Scot land, 7,380 Z ; University of London, 4,540/. ; Public Education in Great Britain, 75,000/. ; British Museum, 100,277/. ; and other items of the same amount for ob- jects of education to Catholics as well as Protestants, but when a Tory Government proposes a grant, nct a new grant, to Maynooth—simply an increase of 17,0001. for the education of some 2,000 priests to administer the consolation of religion to 7,000,000 of our fellow-sull jects—many Protestants who bad been petitioning the same Tory Governent for years to obtain a boon for themselves, in the shape of a remission of church-rates, exclaim in the most violent language against the measure, as if it were a crime of unspeakable enormity. The Irish Catholics remember, though others forget, the circumstance, that the Protestants of the north of Ireland, who are as good Christians, and hate establish ments as much as the Dissenters of Yorkshire and Lan cashire, are silent as death on the subject. Their principles cause no compunction of conscience in this instance; they are thankful for what they receive, and let principles look to themselves. The Church of Scotland, which receives a bounty of 10,0001. a year, is equally silent, and both these classes of reli gionists would consider it a grievous insult if they were denounced by any body of Christians as less consistent, less holy, and less alive to the great principles of the Reformed faith, than the Wesleyans, and Anabaptists, and Independents. These are facts, and cannot be dis puted. They cannot escape the notice of Irish Catholics; and when they leek to the ample provision made for the Catholic:worship in everycolony belonging to the British empire, have they any grounds to be thankful for such a miserable pittance as this Maynooth grant, accompanied, as it is, with every possible insult from numerous bodies of Englishmen ? They are calum niated in Parliament and out of Parliament. The very Government journals, or journals that assume the name, brand them with infamy. English liberal journals, that once advocated their cause, have turned against them when there is a chance of success; and only two London papers adhere to their principles, and prefer honourable conduct to every consideration. For what then are the Catholics of Ireland to be thankful ? The proposed grant which has caused such violent denunciations against Popery, and . almost everything Irish, is the most insignificant trifle imaginable when compared with their just demands. The Protestant Establishment of course cannot be touched. Were a mea sure brought forward for destroying that mon ster grievance in a Catholic community, possibly the Dissenters would be quiet; but would Sir ROBERT Isams and his party, or the Church of England, show the same forbearance? The present commotion convinces the Catho lics that they have no hopes from the great body of Eng lishmen, and that they must work out their own freedom. This is the real ground of the dissatisfaction. On re ceiving the first intelligence of the favourable change evinced in the minds of Sir ROBERT PEEL and Sir JAMES GRAHAM they expressed unbounded gratitude, and anti cipated that this was only a beginning of justice, but the vile attacks upon their religion, and the unconquerable enmity displayed towards them by Englishmen, have blasted their hopes, and almost driven them to de spair. They wish to sea their beloved SOVEREIGN among them, but they cannot repress their in dignation, and will not welcome her in chains. They have the spirit of freemen, and, if they acted otherwise, they would not deserve the name. Neither Scotsmen nor Englishmen would have submitted to such oppres sion as the Irish have suffered for one year without bloodshed, and the Irish have now submitted patiently for half a century, praying, and petitioning, and 'egging, for their rights in vain. When a paltry offer is made by their old enemies, their old friends rebel against it, and, because they resent the in sult, they are called ungrateful, and denounced as men that deserve no favour. Can we blame them for crying out for repeal? They show a spirit which every impartial Englishman admires. The universal shout raised for liberty in America found a response in this country which scaled the independence of the vigorous young colony, and Ireland may rest assured that, notwithstanding the present lowerings in the political and religious hories: d Englishmen will yet be true to their char.-..eter, and side with the oppressed. Madrid journals On that day p. n! . . the 27th ult. have been received. grand levee was held at the Palace, which was r ::.nerously attended. The concordat, it is said. be signed on the 27 th at Rome, and on the same day M. Casmto will officially present to the POPE his ere dentialt *a Minister Plenipotentiary to the Holy See. Thus the relations between Spain and the Court of Rome may be considered as entirely re-established. The QUEEN was expected to leave Madrid for Barce lona about the 12th instant. The Three per Cents were done on the Madrid Bourse on the 26th ult. at 361, at sixty days; the Five per Cents. at 251, at sixty days ; and the Debt without interest, at 8 at sixty days.

The Privy Council Appellant Act Amendment Juris diction Bill was read a second time, after a short dis cussion. _ . _ On the motion that the Auction Duties Bill be read a second time, The Duke of RICHMOND moved that it be read a second time that day six months. The agricultural interest ought to be relieved by the remission of the malt-tax. They paid the expenses of the prosecution of prisoners, and for the maintenance of prisoners in prison ; they were also burdened with the payment of the clergyman in every parish, and therefore he thought that the Go vernment ought to pay half the county-rate, and from 20 to 30 per cent. of the poor-rates. The Earl of DALHOUSIE said that the tax was both AR SUN, LONDO that my constant efforts, so happily in accordance with those of the other Sovereigns, have contributed to maintain the peace of the world.

This is it at once the duty of kings and the interest of mankind. I take pleasure in acknowledging how greatly the wisdom of the clergy of Paris has oftentimes seconded me in this great task. Brought up under its eyes, lam happy in testifying to it the remembrance of this, which I preserve, and to thank it for the sentiments and good wishes which you in its name have expressed for my family and for myself." On Friday M. TRIERS made a speech in the Chamber of Deputies relative to the Jesuits and the affairs of the Church, which lasted for two hours, and was listened to with deep attention by a full House and a most crowded audience. At the conclusion he called upon the Cabinet to execute the laws, and dissolve a religious congregation which was the sole cause of the divisions that had lately manifested themselves in the Catholic community. The Minister of Public Worship admitted that the laws of the kingdom authorised the dissolution of all congregations existing without the sanction of the Government, but though the Govern. ment had such a power, the present was not a fit case for its application. " The Jesuits had acted imprudently; but it could not be seriously pretended that public tran- quillity would be perilled unless the order was dispersed. The clergy, he regretted, had imprudent friends in the Chamber, who wished it to believe that any step taken against the Jesuits would be the commencement of measures against the Church in general ; but it might be certain that the State would ever consider its protection a sacred duty." M. DuPIN maintained that the law, until repealed, ought to be carried into 'effect. " The POPE himself had not hesitated to declare the order a dangerous body. The Govern ment knew its duty, but it could not fulfil it without the aid of the Chamber ; religion was honoured in France, but only rligion as represented by her bishops and curls, and the cutting off from it such eccentrities as the Jesuits, would go far to strengthen its cause." The Chamber, then rose, and, at the sitting on Satur day, the discussion was resumed by M. BERRYER, who contended that such laws did not exist ; " but," conti • nued the speaker, " what I wish to demonstrate is the incredible extent to which such a principle might be carried—what I claim is the plenitude of the right of the Catholic Church—what I ask is whether our Govern ment be strong, enlightened, and honest enough to en dure the liberty that exists in England and in the United States? And since I have just named England, remember what has just passed in that country. In England there is an established religion, and the Prime Minister of England has just demanded and obtained a grant for the maintenance and extension of a religion differing from that predominating religion. This is liberty in its plentitude.—(Clamour and interruptions.) The question of the Catholic congregations is eminently connected by the Catholics with the liberty of conscience, and to the free exercise of their worship. With them a cloistered life is a pass to perfection. To suppress it is to attack their liberty. But let us not talk of dogmas." The Attorney-General rose to reply, and was left speaking. The following summary of the opinion of the press on this subject appears in Galignani's Messenger:— " The Debats gives credit to M. Thiers for the moderation that he displayed, and says it will not suspect him of having brought forward this subject with a view to annoy the Go vernment. The ' clear and explicit' declarations of the Minister of Justice in reply to M. Thiers, must, says the Dfbats, be regarded as satisfactory on this question. 'lf the Ministry would wish to retract, it cannot. That the ex istence of the Jesuits in France is illegal is a point which no longer admits of doubt.' The Globe says it agrees with M. Thiers in thinking that the Jesuits are dangerous to public tranquillity, but not on the same grounds as he has taken. The Jesuits are dangerous, says the Globe, because the people dislike them, and, therefore, are estranged from the clergy. The Constitutionnel gives a glowing account of the speech of the ex-President of the Council and of the effect that it produced. Of the speech of the Minister of Justice, it observes that it is difficult to understand what he really means, bat he seemed to promise that a negotiation for the shutting up of the Jesuit establishments in France should be entered upon with the Pope, and that whatever should be the issue of that negotiation the French Government would not the less adopt the measure in question. The Courrier Francais said the speech of M. Thiers displayed a seriousness and moderation which were in good taste. It was one of the most remarkable spaeches, says the Courrier, that M. Thiers ever pronounced ; as to the Minister of Justice, never iid he make a more wretched effort to produce effect. The National repeats its arguments against the Je suits as a political body, and as forming the corps d'elite of the army of counter-revolutionists, of which it has so fre quently spoken, and expresses the highest admiration of the way in which the attack was made upon them by M. Thiers, who, it says, constantly commanded the silence, and capti vated the attention of the Chamber. The Quotidienne and the France believe, or wish to make the public believe, that the speech of M. Thiers was a failure. The Quotidienne, after alluding to the sensation which the announcement of this attack upon the Jesuits had produced, and the exces sively crowded state of every part of the Chamber of Depu ties to which the public are admitted, says—' A drama was expected, but M. Thiers with his little face and croaking voice disenchanted the brilliant crowd.' " The French Funds on Saturday were more firm. The Three per Cents, closed at 85f. 75c. ; the Five per Cents. at 120 f. 60c. ; Orleans Shares, 1,200 f. ; Rouen, 1,075 f. ; Havre, 860 f. ; Avignon, 1,005 E ; Basle, 272 f. 50c. ; Belgian Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 62f. ; Spa nish Actives, 401 ; ditto, Three per Cents., 42 ; ditto, Passives, 8. NAMUR AND LIEGE RAILWAY.—We observe by L'lndependance Beige, that the Chairman of this Com pany, Mr. Spotteswoode, Governor of the Union Bank, Mr. B. M. Bates, of the firm of Strahan, Pauls, and Bates, Mr. Gurney Fry, Mr. W. Reynolds, resident director, accompanied by Mr. Rennie, the engineer, and Mr. Cary, the solicitor to the Company, had an audience with the Minister of the Public Works of Belgium, at Brussels. After which, those gentlemen set out for Liege and Namur, and from thence they will proceed to Mons and Manage. The affair is proceeding most prosperously, the deputation having been most favourably received by the Belgian Government. ROYAL YACHT SQUADRON INTELLIGENCE.—The following yachts have arrived during the week :—On Sunday the Royal Yacht Squadron cutter Dream, Captain George Bentinck, from Malta ; schooner Esmeralda, T. Fleming, Esq., from Wey mouth, and proceeded to her moorings off Binstead. On Monday the Royal Yacht Squadron schooner Louisa, Sir Hyde Parker, Bart., from the westward, and proceeded for Portsmouth ; on her arrival off the harbour she showed her number to the naval autho. rities. There are several yachts of the squadron cruising about the Solent, and many up the harbour refitting; among which are the Will-o`-the-Wisp, Captain Williams; Jack-o'-Lantern, Earl of Orkney ; and the Nautilus, belonging to Mr. Wardle. The Kea. trel has received her foremast, and it is said that a spar is expected round daily for a mainmast. She will be hauled off next spring tide preparatory to fitting out. It is said that Mr. Weld contem plates altering his Alarm into a schooner. She will will be hauled up in a day or two to be re-coppered. The Reindeer cutter, lately purchased by the Earl of Cardigan, has sailed from Lymington for Dublin. A new cutter, of about 90 tons, intended for the Hon, Mr. Hare, will shortly be launched from Inman's, Lymington.— Hants Advertiser of Saturday. PAROCHIAL NATIONAL SCHOOLS. Yesterday morning a sermon in behalf of these educational charities was preached at the Church of St. Bride, Fleet street, by the Rev. Michael Gibbs, M.A., of Christ Church, Newgate-street, before the Lord Mayor, Sir James Duke, M.P., and the Common Council. Alter a very impressive discourse, a collection was made, highly beneficial to the interest of the schools. A grand banquet is to be given to the leading members of the Cabinet and a large party of the Conservative Peers, on the 17th Instant, at Goldsmiths' Hall. has fgiirvgeduneirbn:e TUE NEW LAw ConmlsStoNs.—The Lord Chan cellorofinein t l ji the a t e ro n fl t i Bi o t3i n ,so t a o i ce m on o tru v nai f ns o sd r i o a i nin e o pl s m yrai m so i n s m sio e n nt to s issued on bankruptcy and insolvency, from which re sulted the present Bankrupt Act, and the new Insolvent Debtors' Act, as administered by the Court of Bank ruptcy. A very great improvement has been effected in the bankrupt law by placiog the allowance of the certificate in the hangs of the Commissioners ; and one of the principles of tlVe new InsolVent Debtors' Act was the power given of hearing ilikrkief; without going to prison, and notWithstglititlig the abuse of the privilege, the provision tias had a beneficial effect. But last session a sudden alter;;Lion was made in the same Act, which has e debt- roduced a great change in the law of .. .Jr and creditor—namely, the abolition of im prisonment oa executions for debts not exceeding. 20/. It is complained that no remedy has been provided for the boon granted ; and it is understood that one of the objects of the commission will be to inquire whether a remedy can be suggested, so as to su persede the repeal of the clause in question. Prisons have been emptied, and debtors have defied their creditors to take proceedings against them, as they cannot touch their persons. A diminution of about one-fourth in the number of writs issued by the law courts, since the ope ration of the last Act has taken place. There are two laws (besides the Debtor and Creditor Act) relating to insolvent debtors, and the Commissioners will have to consider their assimilation ; and they will also have to consider, before they recommend the full repeal of the 201. clause, the instances of oppression by creditors, as recorded in the last report of Captain Williams, the prison inspector. MEMOIRS OF PRINCE CHARLES STUART, THE YOUNG PRETENDER.—The most critical epoch for the HOMO of Hanover, since its accession to the British throne, was unquestionably the rebellion in 1745. Precisely one hundred years have elapsed since that last and most for midable attempt of the exiled Stuarts to recover their lost crown and empire, and still no special biography of the Prince by whom the bold enterprise was conducted has been given to the public.

LITERARY ASSOCIATION OF THE FRIENDS OF POLAND. The thirteenth anniversary meeting of this Associa tion took place on Saturday at their chambers, Duke street, St. James's. The attendance was numerous and respectaVe. Among the gentlemen present we observed Lod Dudley Coutts Stuart, Lord Kinnaird, Lord Robert Grosvenor, the Honourable Colonel Leicester Stanhope, Mr. Mortkton Milnes, M.P. ; Mr. Denison, M.P. ; J. Abel Smith, Esq., M.P.; Mr. W. Williams, M.P. ; Samuel Rogers, Esq. ; Summers Har ford, Esq. ; Captain Townshend, R.N. ; Mr. R. Yorke, M.P. ; F. Pigou, Esq. ; Slingsby Duncomhe, Esq. ; G. A. Young, Esq. ; Seymour Westmacott, Esq. ; P. 11. Edlin, Esq. ; Rev. Dr. Worthington; Joseph Soynbee, Esq.; J. Bowyer, Esq., &c. Lord DUDLEY STUART was unanimously voted into the chair. The business was commenced by the Noble Chairman reading letters from the president of the association, T. Wentworth Beaumont, Esq., from the Duke of Suther land, the Marquis of Northampton, and from Mr. Wil son Patten, M.P., all expressing regret at being un avoidably absent from the meeting, but wishing every prosperity to the cause in the promotion of which it was assembled. The Honourable Secretary, Mr. BIRBECK, then read the annual report; which we regret that the demands upon our space enable us to do little else than to allude to. It detailed the principal events of Polish interest which had occurred during the past year; alluded to the visit of the Emperor of Russitt; the Polish ball which took place then; the arrest of the Count Ostrowski; V'e seizure of his effects, and the opening of his letters. It detailed the refusal of the council to accept the pecuniary aid offered by the Czar, and paid a well-earned tribute to the memory of the late Thomas Campbell. The report went on to congratulate the association upon the general excellent conduct of the re fugees; alluded to various works connected with Polish history, now in the course of preparation; .referred to many Polish gentlemen distinguishing themselves by literary and artistic ability,—expressed the thanks of the association to many of its officers, contributors, and friends ; and announced that another Polish ball would take place at Willis's Rooms on the 13th of June; gratefully acknowledged the liberality of the artists who contributed their services to the concert which formed part of the entertainments at the last ball at the Guildhall; and concluded by expressing the con viction of the council, that the restoration of Poland to its former integrity and independence must ultimately take place. The report, which was often warmly applauded, was then received and adopted_ A series of resolutions expressive of the gratitude of the Association for services rendered during the last year to the cause of Poland by many noble and distin guished persons, including her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, and several other members of the aristocracy; to the Mayor and Cerporation of the City; and to the artistes who had contributed gratuitous assist ance to the Association, at their ball and concert, were then successively proposed, and carried by acclamation. The usual routine business of the Association was then proceeded with. Five new members of the council were named in place of five, who, by the rules of the Association, annually withdrew. T. Wentworth Beau mont, Esq., was re-elected president; and Lord Dudley Stuart, Lord Panmure, the Earl of Scarborough, and the Marquis of Breadalbane, were re-elected vice-presidents. Lord DUDLEY STUART, at the conclusion of the regu lar business of the meeting, addressed the gentlemen present in a long and eloquent speech, commenting upon the report which they had heard read ; upon the cir cumstances affecting Poland, which had occurred since their last general meeting, and upon the present condi tion and ultimate prosperity of their cause. The Noble Lord expressed his pleasure at the numerous assemblage of the friends of Poland he saw around him, and stated his conviction that such meetings as the present, em bracing as they did all shades of political opinion, could not be without its effect in advancing the cause they all had so deeply at heart. He expressed his gratitude to the medical officers of the Association for their valuable and gratuitous services, and also took an opportunity of acknowledging the efforts of those gentlemen who in terest themselves in procuring e mployment for the re fugees. This was a species of aid which the Association valued still higher than pecuniary contributions, and he knew that the Poles themselves much preferred being put in the way of gaining a subsistence by honourable industry, to living upon the mere generosity of others. —(Hear, hear.) The Noble Lord proceeded to charac terise as most exemplary the conduct of the great body of the refugees resident in this country. Upwards of 500 of them had now been in England for thirteen or fourteen years, and during that long period no offence of a serious nature had been committed by any one of them. —(Hear, hear.) The efforts which had been made in connexion with the events of the past year, to blacken the character of the Polish refugees, had entirely failed. The Noble Lord detailed at length the case of Count Ostrowski, already alluded to in the report, adding the highest eulogium upon that gentleman's conduct and character. After alluding to the great Polish ball of last summer, and the spirited conduct of the ladies pa tronesses, in refusing to postpone it on account of the Emperor's visit, he detailed the motives which had in fluenced him in counselling the refusal of the Czar's proffered pecuniary assistance, observing that the Poles had honour to preserve as well as lives to main tain. The Noble Lord proceeded to comment upon the continued oppressive policy of Russia towards Poland— instancing the prohibition of the temperance societies of that country, and the unrelenting persecution of the Polish Jews. He remarked also upon the continued attempted aggression of the autocrat upon Circassia, and concluded by an impassioned declaration of his sympathies with Poland. and his fixed determination never to relax his endeavours in her cause until their efforts should have been at length crowned with success.—(Cheers.) Colonel Szyrma, the Chevalier de Wierciuski, and M. Kozman, also addressed the meeting, in short but feel ing and energetic speeches, breathing their gratitude to the Noble Lord. who had done so much for Poland, and expressing their confident hopes of the ultimate restora tion of their country, and the triumph of their cause. After a vote of thanks had been passed to Lord Dudley Stuart, for his conduct in the chair, and to Mr. Birbeck, the Honorary Secretary, and duly responded to by both of these gentlemen, the meeting separated at half-past six o'clock. BRITISH AND FOREIGN INSTI _ TUTE, HANOVER-SQUARE. vy'omuy Highness, and to several that prevailed during the of Comfortable dimensions, Within the last few days t he Duke of Cambridge has become a member of this Institute; and on Saturda y a d i nner was given by the Pr; hardly c ue s ix i s d ch e ee d i e l v a ni n gs t: C or s o ;. u n eTi andlh te t to pe art c nyjo Rental whole of the evening, although the individuals present were as various as could well be imagined in political sentiment, testified very strongly that the comprehensive spirit of the Institute was working well, and that it is possible for gentlemen to meet in friendly brotherhood and interchange social kindnesses, however much publicly they ma y be in uncivil opposition. In addition to his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, there were present, the Right Rev. the Lord Bishop of Chiches ter, Lord Ashburton, Lord Liffbrd --rd James Stuart, Lord Claude Hamilton, Lord Sandon, Lord Courtenay, Sir John Yarde Buller, Mr. Mackinnon, Mr. Hindley, Mr. Matheson, Mr. Wentworth Lambton, Admiral Sykes, Brigadier_ General Sir Henry Pynn, Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, Mohun Lal, from Caubul ; Dr. Wolff; from Bukhara ; and others, Mr, Buckingham took occasion to state that accident alone occasioned the absence of the Duke of Cleveland, the Marquis of Westminster, Lord Francis Egerton, Lord Carbery, the Earl of Derby, Lord Dacre, the Bishop of St. David's, the Speaker of the House of Commons, the Hon. Sidney Herbert, Lord Brougham, Sir George Staunton, Sir George Larpent, Sir Edward Codrington, and Mr. Wynn Ellis, all of whom, so members of the Council s intended to have been prcient to receive his Royal. highness, The dinner and wines would have entitled Mr. Neale, the maitre (Motel, to a crown of laurel, had he lived in the times of Apicius. Nothing could have been in better task, either as regarded the eye or the palate. After the customary toasts had been proposed by the President, opportunity was given for speeches by his Royal Highness the Duke of Cansbridge, the Earl of Devon, the Bishop of Chichester, Mr. Buckingham, Lord James Stuart, Dr, Wolff, and Mr. Mackinnon. The speakers, one and all, took occasion to rid, vert in the most flattering terms to the success which had attended the establishment of the Institute, how it had given introductions to many distinguished foreigners, how it had promoted a refined and intellectual sociality, and how it had been a common ground Upon which gentlemen of all shades of opinion and of rank had had personal intercourse and enjoyed the advantages incident to polite communion, of CHItIiEBtER, in graceffil tertris, spoke of the pleasure he experienced in seeing the original scheme so satisfac. totily carried out, and emphatically eu logised Mr. Buckingham, to svhosk Miergy, suavity of deportment, and discreet management the Institute owes so much of its prosperity , Mr. BUCRINGHAM, in reply, expatiated eloquently, upon the obligations which British tra'.•ellers were under to foreigners f.,r reedy and assiduous attentions ; and spoke of the Institute as a most desirable instrument for returning such kindnesses—the more necessary as the convential rifles and reserved temperament of the Entlish generally (so unlike the practice and disposition abroad) made it extremely difficult for strange rs to get access to good circles, unless peculiarly accredited. Ile further mentioned that the Communications which had been addressed to men of literary and scientific distinction o n the Continent, apprising them of their being made honorary members of the Institute, had in all cases been responded to in the most gratifying terms; and he alluded particularly to letters received from Humboldt, Guizot, Thiers, Arago, Cousins, Villemain, Chateau. briand, Lamartine, Berzelius, and Liebig, in proof of the utility of the club, and the influence it is likely to exercise in the intellec tual world. As a practical illustration of its present working he pointed to the two distinguished visitors, Mohun Lal and Dr. Wolff, who were sitting within a few yards of him, paying at the same time appropriate tributes to their intelligence and force of character. To the address Dr. \Voter made a few p ertinent observations. The speeches of the Duke of Cambridg e, the Earl of Devon, and of Lord James Ctuart, tended to show that t he ob j ects of the luswith their - their spirit, and that nothi ng c ould be more satisfactory than the acquainted tute were warmly appreciated by all w ho were results which had hitherto ensued. At ten o'clock the company adjourned to the drawing-rooms, where some instrumental pieces were admirably performed by Messrs. Rousselot, Sainton, Vicutemps, Salaman, and Hill. A young gentleman of the name of Coenen, a pupil we believe of Molique's, played a solo on the violin with great dexterity and precision. His 'loyal Highness the Duke of Cambridge did not retire until the reunion broke up.

Ould Ireland struck a post severely during his gallop on Sunday morning. Alice Hawthorn, Winesour, and Fitzallen are at Delamere Forest. Tilt CHESTER CUP. (rat:bl A LICtIOGPOL CORRESPONDENT.) On Sunday morning the Chester race-course was more crowded with horses at exGreise than I ever renumber, but takon eltogether, as far as regaie.s condition, a more meedy lot I never saw. Of Dawson's string' tw like elvP, . there were only two that appeared in any_thing racing form—these were Trueboy and The Era, I can not speak favourably of these (there were seven of them) under the management of the Scotts, and among the Irish division I have very little expectation of seeing a winner. The Pride of Kildare met with an accident at Birkenhead, and Ould Ireland fell and threw his rider, when pulling up from his gallop on Sunday morning. The only horses which appeared at all fit to start for such a prize as the Chester Cup were Aristides (whose cost was like a looking glass), The Era, Queen of the Tyne, Trueboy, and the Old Maid. Hesseltine's lot were not there. Report says Temple man is to ride the old mare (Alice), and to do all he can to make Fitzallen a winner, and if he cannot accomplish that to try to win with her. Sorella, who jumped up from long odds to 10 to I, was expected to arrive on Sunday night. St. Lawrence was also expected at the same time. In conjunction with Fitzallen, The Old Maid was backed to some amount. The owner of the latter animal stands heavily upon her. So I believe does John Day upon St. Lawrence. Obscurity I will not have at all. She is in bad con dition. Her eye—the surest indication to good or bad health—is dull ; her action is lazy—feeble. .1 dare say, by the time this appears in print, she will be altogether out of the betting. I almost question if they will start her. I did not see ter gallop, but her coat is as rough as a bear's. • Little Hampton will very likely run well and forward, but I did not see him on Sunday morning. The Queen of Tyne and another in the same lot (I could not ascertain the name) went very strong and well. Betting on Saturday, there was none comparatively speaking ; and I should only infringe on space which may be devoted to more valuable purposes, were I to attempt a quotation ; but I can give a tolerably accurate list of the starters ; and for this I am in some measure indebted to the active and intelligent Clerk of the Course, Mr. E. W. Topham. They will be — Alice Hawthorn Hemp Aristides Milton The Era The Dean St. Lawre ice The Old Maid Trueboy Intrepid Counsellor Obscurity Sorella Staley Semiseria The Hermit Beatrice Ould Ireland Portrait " - Fitzallen Little Hampton Perhaps one or two more. For the Produc3 Sweepstakes, on Friday, there will be only two stOrtr—rrice's and Bulkeley's. Alice Hawthorn will most likely walk over for the Queen's Plate; and there will be a gcod field fur the Maiden 'Plate, or Sweepstakes, as it is called. On Wednesday, Mr. J. Standishe's Amelia will be very likely to poke her nose in advance of the rest for the two-year-old race; and On Thursday, The Libel, half brother to Satirist, will be very near, if not quite first, for the St. L,ger. BURGEL AND. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF C Lzif N PLEAS, May 5. The Court was occupied the whole morning with motions points of practice, possessing no general interest. BURGESS Y. GRAY. . . . . At a late hour their Lordships wok this case, which is a motion for a new trial. The action was brought against the defendant, the contractor for cleaning the roads in Whitechapel, to recover damages for in juries sustained by the upsetting of the plaintiff's chaise-cart, through the improper conduct of the defendant's servants in leaving a heap of rubbish on the road. The verdict was for the plaintiff, damages 601 Mr. Sergeant Bytes, for the defendant, since obtained a rule nisi to set aside the verdict and grant a new trial. I heir Lord. ships now proceeded to hear the argument upon the rule. The Lord Chief Justice read over his notes of the evidence, and Mr. Sergeant Talfourd showed cause against the rule. The COURT having heard the arguments on both sides at great length, refused the rule. COURT OP CXCHEQUER, May 5. ,Sittings in Banco before the CHIEF BaRON, Barons ALDERSON ROLFE, and PLATT.) MOUNT V. BELL. This was an action against the assignees of Westropp, a bank. rupt, formerly proprietor of the Jerusalem Coffee-house, to recover the value of certain fixtures detained by the defendant as the pro perty of the bankrupt, and claimed by the plaintiff. The verdict was for the plaintiff, and this day, Mr. Sergeant DOWLING moved for a new trial, which i the Court refused. There was nothing of public interest in the argument. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (YESTERDAY.) CLERKE.v WELL. Edward James Sale, a bootmaker, living at No. 9, Graham's-buildings, Freerston's-ails';, St. Luke's, was charged with stabbing Mary, he C . e. whereby her lite is in imminent danger. The prisoner, who tremhled violently en being pleeed in the dock, was undefended. He is apperentlN b.tween 30 and 40 years of age ; he was ragged and filt h y in h is dress, and dissipated in his look. Police-sergeant James Brennan, 20 G, deposed as fol lows :—Yesterday, at three o'clock, p.m , I was irt the Featherstone-street station-house, a man can-e there end trot! me that a woman had been stabbed in Graham's buildings. I hastened thither, and in a re m en the second floor, I saw a woman supported on a chair by two females. She was speechless. On the floor before her was a pool of blood, about a pint, and on the table was a knife wet with blood. (I'he constable produced the knife, the blade of which was stained with blood almost to the hilt.) There were three men in the room, two of whom, named Bolton and Pattison, were drunk. The prisoner was not drunk. He seemed greatly ex cited and agitated. He might have been drinking. When I went in a surgeon's assistant, who had dressed the wound, was leaving it. I sent forthwith for Mr.. Leeson, the police surgeon. Tee weman seemed in a state of collapse, but groaned occasionally. I told the prisoner " You must consider yourself in my custody for stabbing your wife." H e semed greatly excited and distressed, and replied, " Oh dear, oh dear, I did, and lam very sorry for it." Bolton exclaimed, "You flung the knife at her." The prisoner said " Yes." She was removed to St. Bartholomew's Hospital. I took up the bloody knife, and holding it in my hand, said, " Here is the knifefe, I believe, with which the wound was inflicted." The prisoner made no reply. When the surgeon came, I saw the wound, which is on the left breast. When the surgeon removed the lint the wound began to bleed afresh. She was then conveyed to the hospital. The sergeant produced the following certificate, from Mr. Reid, surgeon at the hospital : " This is to certify that Mary Sale was admitted into St. Bartholomew's Hospital on the 4th instant, with a wound on the upper part of her chest, which has perforated the left lung, and that she still continues in a very precarious state." The prisoner was here about to say somethinE, but was directed to "keep quiet" by an eflieer of the Court. It will be remarked that when called upon afterwards he declined to say anything. - William Bolton deposed that ire was in the room at the time the occurrence took place. He was not very drunk at the time. The prisoner was his relative. They were taking their tea wh n the prisoner aid his wife quarrelled. She called him very bad names. Mr. GREENWoOD—tip het names - 7 The witness, after some hesitation, said she called him a " niecoutpote He " chucked " the knife at her, and it entered her let breast. Prisoner—What he seys is true. Witness added—lt was the prisoner who first fetched a surgeon. Ayre Pattison, the other man who was in the room at the time, corroborated the above evidence. Mr GREENWOOD, after giving the usual caution, asked the prisoner if tie wished to say anything ? Prisoner— .' will say notning. Mr. GRE EN WOOD—I will remand y,u until S tur ! e) . Sergeant Brennan said ther. : , was no hope of the woman's hying until then. The prisoner was then committed. George Underwood alias Richard Baker, dressed in naval uniform, was charged with stealing, from the house of Mrs. Francis Stewart, of Hig h-street, Putney, eawn broker, 431 6s. in gold anti silt r; also with burglariously entering her house and robbing it of twenty-three gold rings, four watches, gold seal, and studs, three pair rt silver sugar tongs, silver &T iter:erred her It appeared that. en the 15 , h tie th . tees was an articled clerk to the pr. , ecutrix, d on the same evening the Money was missed. He wee remanded MARLBOROUGH - STREET. Charles John Sigel, a young gentleman residing st Ivy Cottage, Black Lion-lane, Bayswater, was charged with damaging and de facing the walls of the conservatory belonging to Kensington Pa.. lace. It appeared that between ten and eleven o'clock yes! erday morning, the defeddant was seen in the act of cutting his name with a penknife on the external brickwork of the conservatory. The constable of the gardens, acting in conformity with the strict orders of the Commissioners of Woods and Forests, immediately took the defendant into custody and conveyed him to the police station-house at Kensington, where he remained " in durance vile" until he procured bail. The defendant said he was sorry for what he had done, but he really did not at the time consider he was doing any mischief. Mr. Maurev said he should impose a fine of ss. as a warning to persons so offending. The fine was immediately paid. James Williamr, a fashionably-dressed youth, about 17 years of age, was placed at the bar on the fol.owing charge : Mr. John Olivier, of No. 41, New Bond-street, musical publisher and bookseller, stated that between four and five o'clock on Satur day afternoon, he was at a concert at the Hanover-square Rooms, and be noticed the prisoner lifting up the pockets of sever:l dif ferent gentlemen. Witness gave information to the attendants and the prisoner was given into custody of police-sergeant Wall, who, on searching him, found two purses, one containing 11. 9s. 10d., and the other 21., and 40s. in silver. Mr. Matrav inquired if the owners were present. Sergeant Wall said they were not, but would be on a future day. He was remanded until this day week. MARKET NEWS. (YESTERDAY.) CORN BXCH The past week's arrivals of English Wheat have been, the time of year considered, moderately good, end of full average quality, while those of Barley, Malt, Oats, Beans, and Peas, have been limited. Of Irish Oats the receipts have been far from extensive; while from abroad the imports have been rather limited. Fresh up, only a limited quantity of home-grown Wheat was received ; hence the stands were rather scantily filled with samples of both red and white. On the whole, the attendance of both town and coun try dealers was rather limited, yet the finest parcels were in steady request, at prices about equal to those paid on Mon day last. In all other qualities comparatively little was doing, yet the rates were mostly supported. At the close of business a total clearance was not effected. We continue to receive very flattering accounts respecting the young wheats from nearly every part of the country. There was very little foreign Wheat on offer. Good sound parcels free of duty were in fair request, but all other kinds were a mere drug In prices we can notice no variation. Bonded Gr.in was almost nominal. The Malting season being now nearly over, indeed, many of the large masters have already reseed the Barley trane was very dull, at barely stationary figures. In Malt, the supply of which was small, we have .eery few sales to report; but when they were pressed, lower "ere complied with. The Oat trade was steady at fully rates • erices; while Beans and Peas were quite as dear. last week - e eavy,at late rates.

The num ber of foreign Beasts here did not exceed 25, and which mostly found buyers at full rates of currency—viz., from' 161 to 181 per head. The Calves were worth 31 lOs to 4l 53 each. - At the outports, no stock has been received from Holland, but several imports are, shortly expected at Hull. It will be observed, from our weekly returns, that a very great increase has taken place in the importations of Dutch Beasts this season, compared with those of last;. yet we are quite of opinion, judging from the accounts which have just come to hand, that a further improvement will be noticed in them for some time hence. Although a portion of the Beasts and Sheep here to-day was suffering from the effects of the epidemic, the disease presented itself in a mitigated form, as very few losses have been experienced in transmitting the supplies to our markets. On the whole, the number of beasts here this morning, de rived from our own districts, were seasonably extensive, while a slight improvement was apparent in those received from Norfolk. The dead markets being well cleared of their late arrivals, the weather somewhat favourable to slaughtering, and the attendance of buyers rather numero us, the Beef trade was active, at an i mprov ement in the currenciei obtaiued . on this ti‘ , sennight. of quite 2d per bibs; the primest Scots and notnehredi rea dily producing 4s 2d per 81bs, at which a good clearance was effected. Mr. Morley had on sa4 ten of the most extra- ordinary short horn', fed by Mr. G. Everett , of Cas near Yarmouth, we almost ever recollect to have witnessed here at this season of the year. These perfect animals; which weighed about one hundred and forty stone, were disposed of at a high price, and dispatched per railway to Bristol. The supply of store things was rather limited; while the transactions in them from the more plen tiful supply of grasQ, were at somewhat improved were From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire , 1,500 Scots, Home. breds, and Short-horns; from the northern counties,' 200 Short-horns ; from the western and midland districts, 300 Herefords, Runts, Devors, &c.; from other parts of England 250 of various kinds ; and from Scot land 200 Scots The most important feature in t ° day's market was the activity in the Mutton trade, and the quotations. great improvement in the currencies. For instance, the best old Downs produced 5s per 81bs without difficulty, other kinds selling readily at a proportionate advance. It appears to be the pretty general opinion that a further enhanced yal will be speedily re4lised. From the Isle if Wight we received 240 Lambs; but from other parts the arrivals we re rather limited. The Lamb trade was active, at fully Fridav's proved quotations. The Veal trade was stead-, at - 2d, Pq Sibs more money. Pigs, 100 of which were Irish, move ° slowly, at late rates.
