EXTENSIVE FLEE IN FINSBURY.—Last evening, shortly after six o'clock, a fire broke out in the premises of Mr. Samuel Knightlev, a carpenter and builder, at 87, Paul street, Finsbury-square. The flames commenced in the ma nufactory, a brick and timber building about fifty feet long. 'l'h is place contained a vast quantity of work, some finished and the t emainder partially so. In the course •f a few mi nutes the fire made roost fearful progress, completely enve loping the whole of the manufactory. The firemen carried the hose of their engines into the midst of the flames, and eventually succeeded in getting the mastery over them, but not until Mr. kaightley's stock in trade was reduced to ashes, the building burned down, the whole of the windows in the private residence demolished, and considerable damage done to the rest of the furniture and buildings by fire, water, and hasty removal of the contents. Unfortunately the sufferer was not insured for a single farthing. TH E‘ SU N, LONDON, FRIDAY EVENING, MA Y 17, 1850. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE.

Again, we had imagined, and we still cling to the belief, that a duty which excludes the light of heaven from our dwellings, and fosters disease in the crowded haunts of the poor, should rank among the number of those taxes which press heavily 'and unjustifiably upon " a heavy-taxed people." We might enumerate a multitude of similar cases, in all of which, of course, we shall henceforth count upon the zealous co• ope ration of the Gallant Member for Lincoln ; but, with all our abhorrence of unfair taxation, we must con fess that we had hitherto failed to recognise that obnoxious characteristic in Mr. EWART'S Bill. If the 'proposition were to impose a tax upon all libraries and museums at present existing, or to be erected in future, then, indeed, we should have regarded it as similarly baneful and op pressive as the tax now levied upon paper, which tends to obstruct the diffusion of knowledge among the people, or as the duty on windows, which re stricts the enjoyment of those necessaries of bodily life, air and light. But no Chancellor of the Ex chequer at the present moment threatens to impose another restriction upon the diffusion of knowledge, or to effect another curtailment in the enjoyment of intellectual light, by levying a tax upon libraries and museums. So, untaught by Colonel Siirrpour, we had felt no alarm. The trifling sum in question (which is not, be it remembered, to be levied by Act of Par liament, but merely to be suffered to be levied by the people of any borough, the majority of them consent ing thereto), so far from being a restrictive tax upon knowledge, appeared to us,' on the contrary, a dire,ct means for its promotion. And we deemed it exceed ingly improbable that any burgesses possessing the ordinary amount of common sense would hesitate to avail themselves of • the proposed permission, the foundation of schools and libraries, and all other 41- atitutions which tend to promote moral health, being, to our thinking, itiout the best money invest ments, and the cheapest social protective systeies of which it is possible fur the members of any com munity to avail themselves. Colonel Siurssour jig evidently of another opinion, his wise economy in clines; him to 'the course advocated by the man in the fable, who, when the lion was at the deor, and all were eager to lend a hand to keep him out, sug gested the advisability of admitting the intruder lin order to turn him out again. So it is that Colonel SmruonP and Many of our Legislators are disposed to act with regard to Ignorance and the monster vices following in its train, which are now so rapidly and effectively destroying, and threatening still further to destroy, the hearts and intellects of the people. Let us teach the young, let us diffuse knowledge ' among all, is the cry of thOse who truly recognise the existing evil and the imminent danger. Let us build Schools and libraries, and remote every restriction upon the ne cessary elements . of moral and mental life. Let libraries, well furnished with good books, rival the attractions of the beer-shop and the gambling booth, and let cheap journals containing the news of . the day meet' the poor man at his own hearth when `` returning ,from his toil. So shall temptations, which now prove too often irresistible, lose their power, and so will the hearts and' intellects of the people be no longer the stolid abodes of ignorance or the fruitful fields of vice, Such are, one, would imagine, the sug gestions of a prudent economy. But what says the Gallant Colonel and the Legislators aforesaid ? We will not tax the people, say these philanthropic men, neither will we suffer them to tax themselves for such purposes : --" they are taxed enough already I" No, not' one penny , shall be levied for the erection of librariet. Let the lion in, we will turn him out again. We will allow you, nay more, we will compel you to pay for prisons and convict-ships, and police, and gaolers, and hang men ad infinitum. Pounds you may and you must laiish in the attempt to put down crime ; but you shall not bestow one farthing for its prevention- , —" you are taxed enough already." For this new version of an old adage the country stands, indebted to the Honourable and Gallant Atember for Lincoln. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. RECAL OF THE AMBASSADOR FROM ENGLAND. We have received the. Paris journals of yesterday. In reference to the departure of the French Am bassador from London the Ordre says that M. Duoursi DE L'HUYS had received formal instructions to,quit London forthwith if satisfaction was not given to France ; and yesterday an announcement was made in Assembly that the Ambassador had been recalled. We are not surprised at this circumstance. Ever since the PRESIDENT of the Republic suffered himself to be terrified by the absurd rumours which the reactionaries spread into throwing himself into the arms of the Bourbonists, and becoming the Planche Napoleonienne which they had all along boasted they would make of him, it became evident that the Legitimatist Secretary for Foreign Affairs, General LAHITTE, acting under the inspiration of Count MOLE, M. PISCATORY, and the Bur raves, would take the first opport un ity o f breaking the entente cordiale with constitutional England, in order to form an intimate alliance with Russia, a power to whom the recent arbitrary proceeedings of the French Ministers, in domestic affairs, cannot but make them most acceptable, and who will, in return, lend them its Cossacks to re-establish " order," by restoring HENRI V. The following is a detailed report of the proceed ings yesterday in the National Assembly :—After a great number of petitions against the Electoral Bill had been presented, General LAIIITTE ascended the tribune, and said that last Saturd a y h e h a d the ho nour of announcing to the Assembly that upon re ceiving the unfortunate and unexpected intelligence of the failure of the good of f ices of France in the ne gotiations at Athens, the Government of the Republic had conceived it to be its duty to demand explana tions from the English Government. The answer received not being such as the French Government had a right to expect, considering the good rela tions that existed between the two countries, the PRESIDENT of the Republic, after having taken the advice of the Council of Ministers, had given his orders to recal the French Ambassador. (Three rounds of cheers; prolonged movement. The Mountain, which applauded in the beginning, abstained from joining in the succeeding cheers.) in order to acquaint the Assembly with the motives which have determined the Government to take this decision, he could not do better than read the letter which he had addressed to M. DBourN DB L'HUYS upon this subject.—(Attention.) "To M. Drouyn de l'Huys, Ambassador at London. Paris, May 14, 1850. had iluon s cefehto l teaudvon fe tl the oh liu honourtransmit. d irat deliberated et .tr t ha o et e a dl sdnienymo uponua n nd c e precedingwtt h o he y i c o ah u u s y dyw e ioes s ur i o the e given G o v e y r o n u m e a n t pre o s f enti t m he ent ße o p t ub r ic e . resolution piDwt eare:trdc: ehaSh9yeirs C—nt will instructed France, in a spirit of benevolence and peace, had decided upon interposing her good dices, with the object of terminating ; upon honourable conditions, the differences which had arisen between Great Britain and Greece. It had been agreed that the coercive nae - sures already employed by the British Government should be suspended during the mediation; and that if an ar rangement judged acceptable by the French mediator should be rejected by the British negotiator, the latter should refer for instructions to London before recurring 'afresh to measures of force: We had received upon this last point the most formal promises. These protnises have not been kept. This deplorable consequence bas been the result :—At this very moment w h en a draft of c onvention, negotiated directly and definitively settled between the Cabinets of Paris and London, was upon the point of arriving at Athens, where the most essen tial bases of it were known, Greece, attacked an ew b y the naval forces of Great Britain, notwithstanding the lively representations of the French envoy, o t f his an stran i g li e was obliged, in order to e s cape complete r u i n , to accept aiu,fa n without morn re , ,ult of our mediation, we were willing to see at rrigorous.debate the o clauses learning the Cabinet of London, were in hopes considering he world, and which non avenue facts regretable for all t first only the result of some misunderstan ing as . We made only ilde which w o had, arranged with that Cabinet. You have withu taken s pl a would place by abidetho v b i o y l atthi the draft ofa n o f e e n, ,n a v g i e n m ti e o n n t been instructed to make this demand. This demand not having been complied with, it has appeared to us that the prolongation c.f your stay at London was not compatible with the dignity of the Republie.—(Loud cheers.) The President has ordered me to invite you to return to France, after having accredited M. de Mareschali in the quality of charge d'alfaires. Ile has ordered me at the same time to express to you all the satisfaction of the Government of the Republic at the Boa', ability, concilia tory and firm spirit, w hi c h you have constantly dis played during the course of the negotiation which has not owed its failure to you. You are instructed to read this present dispatch to Lord Palmerston.—(Fresh cheers.)—Sign e d LA IIITTE. In order to comply with the 'wishes of the Assem bly, he had the honour to place upon the bureau all the documents relative to this affair. The Assembly would no doubt eee the propriety of maturely study iag all the documents of the voluminous collection of papers which he beld in his hand, before entering upon a debate. Thus they would be enabled to ap preciate and judge the acts and intentions of the Go vernment.—(Yes ! yes!) The papers were ordered for printing, on the vote of the Assembly to this effect. The explanations of the Minister were followed by much agitation, and the sitting was sus pended. The Ministry still pursue their provocative mea sures, their almost avowed object being to drive the people into an emeute in order to give General CHAN GARNIER an opportunity of indulging in his repeat edly expressed wish of bombarding Paris, for which purpose he has caused a store of shells to be col lected at Vincennes, with which he proposes to ut terly destroy the Faubourg St. Antoine with all its inhabitants the instant the breaking out of an imeute shall afford him the opportunity. In reference to the unceasing attempts made by the reactionaries to excite the people to an outbreak, the National justly observes— _ - " No one can have failed to remark the exaggerated rumours, the presages of imminent troubles, that are spread about by the counter-revolutionary organs. Their object, it is plain, is to excite alarm and agitation, to set the interests of one class against the passions of another. to spread trouble and femcnt fear. The au thors of such tactics will only bring shame on their own heads. Their maneeuvres are seen through. They will neither provoke the populace to disturbance nor frighten the middle classes, and will only call down the energetic reprobation of everybody." As a specimen of the manner in which the reac tionary journals endeavour to spread alarm among all classes of society, and to excite to civil war, we ex tract the following from the Ordre " It is notorious that we are in presence of the enemy, that perhaps tomorrow we shall have to defend society against the hordes of June—that the provinces are me naced with a Jacquerie, and Paris with a 93. What would we not do to give peace to our country—but peace is neither in the hearts or in the acts. Danger is ad vancing and pressing upon us. A cry of alarm resounds through all France. Yet is the struggle inevitable? No, we yet count on the prudence of good people to avert it. But we declare aloud, in presence of passions that dis tort rights and facts, the majority ought not to shrink, the powers of the state ought not to tremble before the factious, revolt," ' the law must n o t s ta n d di sarme d i u presence of The following letter has been 'lent to the journals by Colonel LABORDE, on the subject of the alleged negotiations between the PRESIDENT of the Republic and the Bourbons : " You have thought it your duty to publish, with an intention which I will not judge of, a letter from MM. Adam, Aubert, and Bouillon, in which those gentlemen attribute to me a conversation the details of which are inexact. I did not affirm that M. Berryer, having spoken to me about a month since, recommended me to tell the President of the Republic that it was time for him to came to an understanding with the Bourbons, who would secure him a suitable position. That remark was made by M. Larochejagnelin, in a simple conversa tion, and not in the form of a proposition; I might have repeated it to those gentlemen while chatting with them, but without attaching more importance to the subject than did M. Larochejaquelin himself. As to the alle gation that there was added to the above remark ' that if the P res id ent did not ma k e h aste, an d treat b efore two months, h e -would be lost; and h ave no l onger any thing to hope for,'•it is a pure invention, as I said nothing of the sort. I also affirm that it is false that I said to one of those gentlemen that I had mentioned the con versation to the Prince. I merely said that I had told it to one of the friends of the Preiident, a Member of the National Assembly, but still without attaching any importance to it. This, sir, is all the truth; the public will judge whether a fact of this nature merits the pub licity which you have given to it, and whether it has the political bearing you attribute to it." • This letter, it is clear, is completely confirmatory of the important fact that there have been offers made to the PRESIDENT of the Republic to turn traitor. The following proposition on the responsibility of Ministers has been presented to the Assembly by MM. CUNIN GIUDAINE, DB LA.ROCHETTE, and DX LABOULIB " A Commission of fifteen Members shall be ap• pointed by the Legislative Assembly, in the usual form, to prepare an organic law on the responsibility of Mi. Meters and of the other agents of the Executive Go. vernmen L" . : D ca u x o u rr z , OT, MAY M : ty 14, 14, E ELEVEN The following, from the Constitutionnel, ann ounces the termination of the strike at Creuzot, and restora tion of tranquillity:— " The Government yesterday received th e f o ll ow i ng telegraphic dispatch l E G L II E TP N N I : .N. " ' The troops last evening and this morning occupied the Crenzot militarily, without the slightest resistance. Everything was - confined to threats.

The forges continue at work. The other coal districts are tranquil. The coals from Montchanin arrive without obstacle.' " A second dispatch, some hours later than the above announces that the effervescence is completely calmed in all the distridt, and that the strik•bas ceased. We may add that the arrest of the ringleaders took place without any collision, by the gendarmes, .supported by the in- fantry." UM.

Saint Amant was Governor of the Palais des Tuileries during the revolution of 1848. ALARMING FIRE IN THE ClTY.—This morning, about half-past four o'clock, the City police-constable of Wood-street was passing the warehouse of Foster and Co., Hart-street, Wood-street, when he noticed an unusual light in the lower part of the house. The inmates and neighbours were soon aroused, and no time was lost in sending for the engines and foremen, who speedily attended from Watling street, Whitecross-street, Farringdon-street, and other sta tions. The flames were soon arrested in their progress, but the entire stock of the shop was destroyed and the building damaged. The firm is believed to be insured; as to the origin of the fire nothing was known. Indolent people easily become sly and shifting ; their natural gentleness serves to hide even a fit of rage; for it is by our habitual manner that an accidental change of feeling may be best concealed. Eliza Cook's Journal. THE LATE MARQUIS WELLESLET.—IIIS Grace Field. Marshal the Duke of Wellington has been, for the last few days, engaged in the graceful task of superintending the erection of a monumental tablet at Eton College, to his gifted brother the late Marquis Wellesley, in pursuance of the wish expressed by that distinguished pupil of King Henry's noble foundation. General Sir Peregrine and Lady Maitland, accom panied by. Lady F. Kerr and family, were amongst the numerous passengers who arrived yesterday morning by the Antwerpen steam-packet, Captain Jackson. EMIGRATION FROM THE UNITED KINGDOM.— Yesterday the tenth general report of the Colonial Land and Emigration Commissioners was printed, givi ng Borne interesting information connected with emigration from the United Kingdom: The emigration from the United Kingdom during the ten years ending the 31st of December, 1846, amounted • to 856,392 persons , g ivin g an average of 85,639 emigra n ts a y ear . During the years 1847 and 1848 the number of emigrants was 2 58,270 and 248,069 respec tively, being nearly double the largest number that had emigrated in any previous year. Du rin g the year 18 49 the emigration had reached the unpreced e nt ed num ber of 2 99,493 persons, of which number the 260,817 p ro ceeded to North British North 2 19,450 Americaw ent . to T h t e h c o States, om U m ni i t s esdionersestimate that in and 41,387 t o 1349, exclusive of cabin passengers, 1,743,500/. • was ex pended on emigration, of which only 228,3001. was paid out of the public funds, leaving more than 1,500,000/. as the pro bable amount provided out of private or parochial funds, ERRATUM.—In the article on " The Shrievalty of London," which appeared in our paper of yesterday, the three lines at the bottom should have read thus:_"We are afraid the corporation will presorve the shadow, but lose the substance, by neglecting reasonable reform in these and other respects."

The Cotton market at Liverpool, yesterday, was firm; sales about 6,000 baler, of which 1,000 American were taken on speculation. Railway shares were firm, and in some instances higher quotations were realised. The Corn market is firm again to-day. The Colonial markets this week have not been gene rally animated, but a good brisk business has bean done in sugar. The Indigo sales went off very heavily yester day, and will not be resumed until Tuesday. The Wool sales close this evening. The Hamburgh mail brings the rate of exchange on London steady at 13.9. Some very curious results are -shown in an analysis of the railway returns just made to an order of the House of Lords. Mr. Arthur Smith has performed the task, and states in reference to the North-Western Com pany as follows: "It appears that between the years 1824 and 1850 no less than 740 miles of railway were authorised to be made by the amalgamated company, which possesses the exclusive railroad communication between London, Bir mingham, Liverpool, and Manchester, and by branches and extensions communicates with the various towns and railways of the districts near which the line passes. The company has also exer cised, by subscriptions, leases, and directorial appointments, a powerful influence in the promotion of all the railways running north of Liverpool and Manchester, and west of Chester, as well as numerous other railway companies, many of which, the Railway Commissioners state, had a mere nominal separate existence. The company are now the owners of some sixty miles of canal, and are lessees, at guaranteed rents, of near three times that extent. In fact, the acting directors of the various lines now amalgamated (for Mr. George Hudson was in the direction of the Manchester and Birmingham sec tion), may be said to be the progenitors of that nume rous railway offspring which for a time overran the country, and absorbed the wealth and industry of all classes of society. Of the railways sanctioned (in which the recent Huddersfield and Manchester, and Leeds and Dewsbury are included), 478 miles appear to be open for traffic, 49f miles to be in the course of construction, and 211 miles not to be commenced, of which sixty-eight miles have been abandoned by lapse of time, and since partly adopted by other companies, under the influence of subscriptions or other arrange ments. "It will be seen that the authorised capital has been differently stated in the various returns as well as the the mileage. Some companies in their returns infer that the second order made by the House of Lords applies to both capital and loan; but in this instance there is no explanation, the words of the r e t urn b e i ng ' C a pi ta l authorised by Act of Parliament, 30,617,620/.' It this is the amount of share capital only, the sum autho rised to be raised by debentures and loans is less than 8,700,000/. ; but if it refers to both capital and loan, the money powers conferred by Parliament would be, within a very small sum, exhausted ; but, in either case, a vast sum appears t o b e ill ega ll y borrowed, the debt appearinveren in tbe account to 31st December, 1849, as above ten millions. It appears, however, by the previous returns, that 4,547,5001. of share capital is authorised for subscription by, the Acts of other com panies, and if that account b e a dd e d t o th e s h are capital authorised by the company's own acts, we find the authorised share capital 29,948,120/., and if we add to that amount 208,653/., subscribed for to the Caledonian and Scottish Midland, for which no legal, authority is shown; 101,7321. subscribed to the Shropshire Union, for which an Act is quoted, but the power to subscribe without sanctioning money renders the authority nugatory, and the 400,000/. in part subscribed, without legal authority, to the East and West India Dock Railway, we find even a greater amount of share capital necessary than that stated. The extraordinary powers obtained by the di rectors in 1845 and 1848, and the two amalgamations, require a complete investigation, since some deception seems to have been passed on the Legislature, and the whole of these large, sums have now either nominally or really been expended; the former being near a million sterling entitled to dividend." Great agitation has been produced in the City by the announcement that the French Ambassador has been recalled from London, and the expected return of Lord Normanby. Most impartial men, however, look upon the whole affair as an unprincipled metonym on the part of Louis Napoleon to court a little fleeting popula rity, and M. Thiers has eredit,in company with the Le gitimatists, for having played this dangerous game. Still there can be no serious apprehension, unless the Russian and Bavarian Courts join with Republican France in this matter. Consols from 96k fell to 95f and 95.

CORN EXCHAN GE-(FRIDAY The quantity of English Wheat r• -c. ivell up to our Market dm; week, coastwise, has been but miAlerate, viz., 2,640 quarters. By land-carriage and sample, the receipts have been small. To-;gay scarcely an) parcels were offering, and a clearance of them was speedily effected, at prices quite equal to those obtained on Mon day last. From abroad, 8.670 quarters of Wheat have reached us. Selected qualities of both red and white moved off freely, at fully previous rates, and a steady business was transacted in the middling and interior kinds, at late figures. The supply of Barley was limited. Grinding parcels produced ls. more money. Malting and distilling sorts were quite as quite as dear. Although the supply of Malt was seasonably good, the trade ruled steady, at very full prices. Very , ew Oats, either Eng lish or foreign, were on the market. All kinds sold readily, at an improvement in value of 6d per quarter. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were held at very full prices. Englisk 5c0tch........ Trish • . Foreign ..

BANKRUPTCY.-(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Commissioner FONBLINQUE.) IN RE G. WOLSET . This bankrupt was described as of Wereham, Norfolk, baker and miller, and to-day was appointed for his last examination, which had been adjourned under pe culiar circumstances. It will, perhaps, be recollected that on the first appli cation the bankrupt gave a most unsatii.factory account of his affairs, and he was committed to Newgate, but shortly afterwards he sent for the messenger and dis closed that he had secreted 5001. in cash, and gave in formation where it could be found at his house. Mr. J. W. M. Fonhlanque appeared on behalf of the bankrupt; and Mr. Stansteld, the official assignee, said the accounts were not well vouched; but as the account; appeared to be the beat that could be rendered, the bankrupt was allowed to pass his examination. INSOLVENCY.—(THIS DAY.) (Before the CmEr COMMISSIONER.) IN THE MATTER OF SIR WILLIAM TWYSDEN t BART. This insolvent a ppli e d un d er the Protection Act, on his interim order. It appeared that Sir William had been mixed up in railway transactions, and the result was his present application. The CHIEF COMMISSIONER inquired of Sir William whether he had any proposal to make for the payment of bis debts? Sir William replied that it was out of his power to make a proposal. He was now supported by his friends. Mr. LEWIS called the attention of the Learned Com missioner to the state of the schedule. The Court would find no personal debts, but only railway liabilities. His HONOUR appointed a day for the final order, and granted protection in the interval. ei Li) tilillff .7-ilti t LONDON, FRIDAY, MAY 17, 1850. The Marriages Bill was considered in Committee last night, and two of the principal (so-called) amendments of which notices had been given were disposed of. As we bad anticipated, a determined effort was made to reject the measure, which had very nearly succeeded owing to the neglect and apathy of Hon. Gentlemen, who, although friendly to its principle, would not give themselves the trouble of attending in their places. On the order of the day being called on, it was proposed " that the House should resolve itself into Committee on the Bill on that day six months." If that motion bad been carried, the measure would have been thrown out for the present session . . It was, however, happily negatived by a majority of " two" (I), in a House of 84 Members only, and the first formal impediment was thus fortunately surmounted. But this did not satisfy the obstructives. Defeated in their attempt to reject, they next tried to retard and procrastinate the measure. The old dodge of - " counting out "- _was resorted to. The Right Honourable Gentleman the Member for Abingdon, one of the most strenuous op ponents of the Bill, was ' trying to exclude the thousands and tens of 'thousands, who had contracted such marriages between they Ist September, 1835, and the present time, when, contrary to the usual custom and the ordinary courtesy commonly observed among gentlemen, he was interrupted by One of his own party, who demanded that the House should." be counted." This artful device, it was -hoped, would have proved successful. Many persons who had listened to the arguments of the ex-Attorney-General usque ad nauseam, apd who saw no prospect of an early con clusion of his 'speechi had retired for a short time. The supposed ppportunity was accordingly seized on, but without any practical result, the forty Members necessary to constitute a House being actually pre sent. The second quicksand was thus avoided, al though the escape was a narrow one, and the proceed ing clearly proved the accuracy of our assertion, that every effort, however unjustifiable, would be made, which the forms of the House or circumstances might admit, to delay the measure. The first real trial'of strength on the merits took place on Sir F. THBSIGER'S amendment above re ferred to, which was negatived a majority of 43. It would have , been strange, indeed, if a distinction, so unfair in every respect, was to be maintained as that devised by the Right Hon. Gentleman. Mar riages contracted before 1835 were rendered valid by the 5 and 6 Will. IV., c. 54 ; all future con tracts, of a similar description, would be binding on the parties ; those alone that were celebrated in the interval were to be considered null and void. The punishment would thus be inflicted not on the pa rents, for they could forthwith marry again, but on the innocent offspring. The Legislature de termined, by a distinct enactment, that there was nothing contrary to the Divine law in such marriages, for, if snob were the case, they would never have been recognised or sanctioned. The re striction established by that Act being about to be removed as unjust and impolitic, how, we ask, could Parliament consistently affix a perpetual brand to a certain class of children, from which others, born under precisely similar circumstances, except with respect to the date of the ceremony, would be free ? The Word of GOD could not be dependent on a mere question of time. The decrees of the ALMIGHTY are immutable ; they are not like human laws, to be changed or altered according to the caprice or fancy of any body, however distinguished; we can not, therefore, conceive how the House could have assented to the proposition, or refused to give the Bill a retrospective operation. Let us for a moment consider the circumstances under which the Act of 1835 was carried. On its introduction it was not intended to impose any dis ability ; it was brought in as a remedial and not as a penal measure. Previously such marriages were not absolutely void, but merely voidable. The pro ceedings for that purpose could only be instituted in the Ecclesiastical Courts, pro salute anima, through a tender regard for the souls of the mis guided individuals who differed from the judges of these much admired tribunals. But if a suit was not instituted during the lives of both parties, hus band and wife, no future steps could be taken, and the children were legitimate to all intents and pur poses. Although such marriages were of every-day occurrence, there was scarcely an instance of their being interfered with, and they were practically con sidered as efficacious as any others. Malicious persons, or those interested in preventing children from succeeding to family honours or settled estates, might have interfered, and accordingly Lord LYripuunsr brought in his Bill, to fix a time after which no proceedings should be in stituted. It was entitled "an Act to limit the time for commencing suits in the Ecclesiastical Courts, so far as the same affects the children of parents married within the prohibited degrees," and the proposition was, that such marriages should be valid if not im peached within six months after the passing of the Act, and all future marriages, if not attacked within two years after their celebration. In Committee, however, a Right Reverend Prelate succeeded in moulding the Bill into its present form, and making all future marriages void The clause was rejected in the Commons, but as the session was about to close, and parties of high rank and great influence were much interested in the measure, it was ultimately agreed to, in order to prevent the loss of the entire measure ; and thus was the Bill carried, which it is now regarded as sacrilege to endeavour to alter. The other amendment (!) by which it was at tempted to exclude Scotland from the operation of the Bill, and to render the same parties legitimate in one part of the United Kingdom and illegitimate in another, or, more correctly speaking, to continue the existing doubt and uncertainty on the subject north of the Tweed, was also most properly negatived, and the Chairman reported progress. The question Row stands adjourned until the 13th of June, another delay of four weeks being thus secured by , the inveterate enemies of the measure. . Again, yesterday, as in every stage of its proceed the B I N Ings, the P u bli c Lib rar i es an d M useums Bill was ect of most extravagant and incredibl e oppo sition. If i t once al lowable f or a majority b ecome law—if it once become of tw o -thi r d s o f t h e i n h a bi tants of a bo roug h to e f y ara i te sufficient to pr ov id e f or their o wn and their e -townstnen's intellectual benefit and recreation — if such an onerous impost be so unjustifiably laid uP on an already people, it will certainly not be the fault of the phi lanthropic and economic Colonel S and so unwea r i e d lIITHORP:ver-taxed So a compromising has been his hostili t y un his exertions in this matter, that most 1 heavy burden which the unconscionable th e able M r .

We had imagined, it is true, that a tax (now, happily, numbered with the things that were) which ma de bread I dear, and, consequently, hard to be obtained by the BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.) A.' respectably-attired, good-natured, looking man, whose name did not transpire, was charged before Mr. Jardine with screaming and shouting in Whitehall last night. A police-constable stated that he was on duty last night near to Scotland-yard, when he heard a great noise a distance off. On going to the spot, he found the pri soner and another man and woman quarrelling. He wished them to go away, but the prisoner did not seem at all disposed to comply with his wish, and he therefore took him to the station. The prisoner, in answer to the charge, said he was a deeply-injured man. The woman was his wife, who was in the habit every now and then of going from home and leaving him to take care of their two children. Yes terday she left him again in this mysterious manner, and she remained absent nearly the whole of the day. Last night he thought he would ease his mind by taking a stroll in the park, and accordingly he passed through the Horse-guards into Parliament -street, where he saw his wife walking arm-in-arm with a young man by whom she bad a child before he married her. He ran over to her, and desired her to come home, but the man, for whom be had been induced to accept bills for between 804 and 004, said she should not, and he called out "Police," when the constable came up and took him into custody, as his wife said she was in danger of her life from him. Mr. J ARDINE told him that he could not be allowed to make iftiolve in' the public streets; he must confine his quarrels to his own house; but as he appeared to have been much irriLted by the conduct of his wife, he should wit punish him this time. The prisoner was therefore discharged with a caution. !ORX, BLACKKOCX, AND PASSAGE RAILWAY.- An engine was run, for the first time, on this line of railway last evening. Its arrival was to a certain extent unexpected, and the numbers who were attracted to the Park and New wall by the fineness of the weather, were equally surprised and gratified at its unlooked-for appearance. The engine left Passage about eight o'clock; and as the trip was merely to test the steadiness and solidity of the rails, the distance was accomplished in about eighteen minutes, but it is said that it can be done with ease and safety in ten or twelve minutes. It is intended to dispatch the engine to Passage in a few days; and as the waggons will be fitted up to afford tempo rary accommodation to the directors and other gentlemen connected with the company, this may be looked on more in the character of an experimental trip. The line, it is confi dently stated, will be opened for general traffic on or before the Ist of June.--Corh Examiner of Wednesday.
