" Familiar to their mouths as household words." This sentiment Shakespere might have applied in various ways. When we think of Law-making, Stock transferring, or money-changing. Parliament, Exchange, or B an k, becomes "familiar to our mouths as household words." On the same principle, when attire of any description is wanted, the name of E. MOSES and SON, drops from our lips "familiar as household words ; " and to every one their establishments are well known for the Manufacture of Clothing in the most accomplished styles com bined with Taste and Art, or Ready-made Goods the best, the most fashionable, and the cheapest. Nillions are now " familisr " with the fact that E. MOSES and SON occcupy the first and fo•emost po sition in the city and provinces —as Merchant-tailors, Hosiers, Hatters, Furriers, Root and Shoe-makers, and Outfitters for Ladies and Gentlemen to all parts of the world, and it Is now necessary for all classes to become " familiar" with the variety and seasonableness of their present stock, in which warmth, comfort, novelty, style, an,i economy is displayed in thousands of new designs in Dress for Ladies, Gentlemen, or Children. To specify the number of improvements introduced by E. MOSES and SON, is beyond the range of possibility, but inspection of their novelties in Overcoats, Paletots, &c , &c., and dress for all classes and professions, will afford the greatest pleasure. E. MOSES and SON'S Juvenile Clothing, Sporting Dress, Clothing for Artlzans and Mechanics, is charged as previously —the lowest prices. The II at and Cap, Hosiery, Fur and Shewl departments con tinue attractive by matchless exhibitions of taste, Splendour, and cheapness. EMIGRATION.

No one doubts the expediency and advantages of Emigration, but the expence is the principal conside ration with everyone cont JatipzAchange of country , and pursuits, TtissealcelycredibleTidwlmaim amount will procure an Outfit at E. MOSES and SONS; it is also Impossible for any class of Emi grants to obtain the articles they will require, so good or so cheap as they are offered at the Outfitting Establishment of E. MOSES and SON. The attention which every Emigrant requires is provided for by a separate department being kept for outfitting. The Goods and Clotting specially required by Emi.:rants are offered at wholesale prices, and are acknowledged by thousands of Emigrants to be every way superior to any which can be had elsewhere. Ship-sailing information and full Lists of Outfits for Ladies and Gentlemen may be had on application, or post-free to any part of the Kingdom. CAUTION.—E. MOSES and SON regret having to guard the public against imposition, having learned that the untradesman-like falsehood of " Being connected with +heir Establishment," or " It's the same concern," has been resorted to in many instances, and for obvious reasons, they beg to state that they have No CONNEXION WITH ANY OTHER.

Aqua se habla Espanol MEDICAL ADVICE ON THE SECRET INFIRMITIES OF YOUTH AND MATURITY. DR. SAMUEL LI'MERT, 37, BEDFORD-SQUARE, LONDON, Doctor of Medicine, and Matric dated Member of the University of Edinburgh, Honorary Member of the Loncioa Hospital Medical Society, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, Loudon, &c., &c. - - - NEAY be consulted, personally, or by letter, on the various disorders of the nervous and generative system, resulting from juvenile Irregularities and excesses, which have pro duced more misery in youth, degradation in manhood, and prema ture decay at all stages of life, than perhaps Any other class of dii cases known to modern pathologists. Long and practical experience in the treatment of these diseases has proved that there are in exist ence secret causes of self-acquired miseries and disappointed hopes in existence, traceable to certain pernicious habits, to which Nervous Debility, various forms of Insanity, Unhappy and Unfruitful Marri ages, Impotency, Local and Constitutional Weakness, and their endless modifications owe their almost entire origin. It is absolutely necessary that all men should know that there are principles of personal management which cannot be violated without incurring grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret succeed the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulgence, how these penalties may be mitigated, bow the sting of their bitterness may be removed, and how the evil and its con,equences may be avoided, and above all. that there is scarcely any degree of physical infirmity or functional derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure. DOCTOR LA'MERT has for a long seises of years been engaged in an extensive practice in the treatment of these delicate com plaints, and is the only legally qualified Physician who, regardless of the taunts and envy of the hypocritical and mock-modest, has had the confidence, through the medium of the public press, to direct attention to these enormous evils, from which no grade of society 'is free. In selecting till t department of practice, he has been amply' reN , arded by the great success that has attended his efforts in the treatment of these cases, which are too generally confided to ti care of unqualified and ignorant empirics, who, with their pirate ,- publications, assumed foreign names and titles, and pretended virtu•%.,& of their patent nostrums, have inflicted salions injery on those who have been induced to place faith in their pretensions.

METROPOLITAN BURIAL GROUNDS. Lord D. STUART wished to call the attention of the noble lord the Secretary for the Home Department to the disgraceful state of the graveyards in the metropolis —particularly that of St. Clement Danes, in the Strand. Great complaints bad been "m a d e of the state of that churchyard, and many persons had been attacked by serious diseases in consequence of passing along that part of the Strand. One gentleman, who happened to be passing at the time of a funeral, was struck with a most virulent disease, which assumed an appearance I very like the plague, swellings haNing arisen under each arm, and he remained for a considerable time in a state of great danger. Many medical men of eminence consi dered it dangerous . for persons to 'pass along the streets and were of opinion that many deaths had taken place from that cause. He had been assured by one medical man that putrid flesh and blood had sometimes been' thrown up by the gravedigger when exercising his func tions in that churchyard. He wished to ask whether the attention of the Government had been drawn to`this matter, and whether the noble would not exercise the authority given him by the act of Parliament, in order to put a stop to the practices to which he had referred.— (sear, hear.) . Lord PALMERSTON said that the statof ch.= •", • • bewaitely -larouglit .tmder . n a sh. , , bra'deputaticnr,"ana in-a few dafs an order • ouncil would_be issued to shut up that church yard. With regard to the general state of the churhyards of the metropolis, he considered they were a disgrace to the country at large, and he could assure the noble lord that it was a subject which would claim a considerable share of the attention of the Government. (Hear, hear.) SIR CHARLES WOOD AT HALIFAX. _ _ Mr. DISRAELI next gave notice that on Monday next he would ask the Right Hon. Gentleman the Pre sident of the Board of Control, whether he was correctly reported with regard to a speech which he had lately made at Halifax, in which he was represented to have spoken of a neighbouring country, France, as suffering under a despotism more grinding than that of Napoleon the First —that the press there was gagged, and that the reason of his hatred for this country was his inability to gag the press of this country as he had gagged that of other countries. He thought it was desirable to have an answer to that question before they came to vote the army estimates. (Hear, hear.) Mr. SPOONER asked Lord John Russell whether Mr. Sadleir had any authority for saying, on the hust ings at Carlow, that " the noble lord had proffered a political refutation of the course which he had taken with respect to the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, which that distinguished nobleman had had the manliness to proffer ;" and for saying, " that the principle of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill had been deliberately and openly abandoned ;" and to ask the noble lord, whether the noble lord still thought that the aggression of the Pope, which induced his lordship to bring forward the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill, was " insolent and insidious," and fully justified the introduction of that measure ? Lord JOHN 'RUSSELL said, that when he had seen the report in question in the newspapers, he had not thought it necesssary to ask Mr. Sadleir for an explanation, thinking it so obviously incorrect that the speech could not have been made by him. Mr. Sadleir, however, had since voluntarily informed him that this report was, as he (Lord John Russell) had thought, entirely incorrect. (Hear.) With regard to the last part of the question, although he thought the hon. mem b er was go i ng too far in seeking to know his (Lord J. Russell's) thoughts, he had only to say, as the hon. member was curious on that point, that he still thought the same as he had done two years ago. (Hear.) CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. In reply to Mr. ADDERLBY, Mr. PEEL said that he believed the obstacles which had lain in the way of the completion of the constitution of the Cape and which related chiefly to the franchise and the separation of the two colonies had been removed, and he hoped that it would be sent out by the next month's mail. (Hear, hear.) The Government had no intention of forming any convict settlement in South Africa ; and with regard to the late march of General Cathcart into the Orange River territory, that was a step which he had taken on 1434viaxesponsi bility, and had no reference to the extension of the Queen's dominions.in that quarter. BRITISH EMBASSY AT CONSTANTINOPLE. In answer to Lord DUDLEY STUART, Lord JOHN RUSSELL said that he had to-day had a - conversation with Lord Strafford; - aitd he was enabled to state that that noble lord would almost immediately return to resume the duties of his mission at Constanti nople. (Cheers.) - The motion for adjournment was then agreed to. TRANSFER AIDS BILL. This bill was read a second time, and ordered to be committed. 'Leave was given to the Chancellor of the Exchequer to bring in a bill to authorise advances from the Con solidated Fund to discharge money borrowed for metro politan improvements on the security of the crown estates, and to charge the same on the London Bridge Approaches Fund. THE TEA DITTIES. Mr. MACGREGOR withdrew the motion of which he had given notice, for a reduction of the tea duties, stating that he should for the present leave the matter in the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and take no further steps until after the introduction of the budget. The other orders were then disposed of, and the house adjourned. COLLISIONS AND FOUNDERING OF Two VESSELS.—By the arrival of the brig Jane and Catherine of Frazerburgh, at Bridlington, we have been informed of a serious and fatal collision having taken place early on Thursday morning, a few miles to the northward of Flamborough head. As the brig Charlotte, of Newcastle, Mr. Anni son, master,' was Making "her war to the southward from the Tyne : to Lona* at about five . c'elgck, she' was' run info by a schooner; which bY:scithe ineins iniinhged to get clear almost immediately'. and : bear away. The schooner struck her amidships, cutting her down to be low the watermark. The master, finding exertions were of no avail to save the ship, and perceiving a craft within hail, exhibited a light and called for assistance. She stood off, however, unheeded the cries, and left the poor fellows to their fate. As a last resource, the foundering of the vessel being inevitable, they jumped into the long boat, and cutting the ropes which held her, the sea carried her clear of the deck as the brig went down. Unhappily one man lost his life. The carpenter, who had charge of the helm, observing the vessel sinking, jumped down below to save his clothes-bag, and before ionre he could return th e b r i g di sappeared, and he perished with her. Fortunat e ly th e crew i n t h e b oat were sub sequently picked up by th e J ane an d C at h er i ne, w hi c h landed them at B r idli ng t on.

ACCIDENT ON THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—An accident of a serious character, and attended with con siderable destruction of property, occurred on the Great Northern Railway on Thursday afternoon last. The scene of the disaster was at Offord station, about mid waytn, b t betweenetween three llun and four nkin h tingdonand ,ele S e t. appearsNe t ot e s. aft l e t roooo,a b train of ballast waggons was issuing from a siding near the station at the moment when a train of goods vans and empty coal waggons was approaching in the oppo site direction. Whether the signals were properly exhi bited or not remains - to be ascertained : but though it was broad clear daylight at the time, the two engines continued to advance towards each other, and in a few moments came into collision with a tremendous crash. Both engines were forced up on end, and the driver of -the goods train, John Rigby, fell under his engine, appa rently killed on the spot. The driver and stoker of the other train jumped off just before the collision took place, and escaped with very little injury beyond a shock. They prOceeded in getting .Rigby from under the engine, and found him alive, but greatly injured, especially aboutcrushed n t ,1 ase and a right.temporary l removed to li t o the ilimod 'and y subsequently removed to his home at Peterborough. ation stalmutilated.peogra and ry He place foot, was wfahteh The vans and waggons of the two trains accommodation, werem were all mo re o issued a report to thei r proprietors of the pr ogress of t o o r Ta le toli s E s injured , mGs.ApBA c ad anzsillome ZINC c of om th rAll em y. w_e Thi re listecr:llpyasnmay have their works in Prussia.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. The Earl of HARROWBY presented a petition from the bishops, clergy, and laity of Toronto and Quebec, against any interference with, the Clergy Reserves in Canada. THE FRENCH EMPIRE. The'Marquis of CLANRICARDE gave notice that on Monday next he should aak the noble. lord at the head of the Government whether there Would be any objection to lay on the table the correspondence which had taken place in reference to the establishment of the French Empire. THE NEW CRIMINAL CODE. Lord St. LEONARDS expressed a hope, as we under stood, that before the government abolished transportation they would consider the important question of secondary punishments. Lord CAMPBELL agreed that the subject of se condary punishments should be fully considered and settled, but he hoped it would not be settled by abolishing transportation, which fromhis experience,he could say,was the best punishment that had ever been devised, as well for the protection of the public as the reformation of cri minals. He was against their being forced on unwilling colonists, but he thought the Goveinment ought to se lect new settlements where they might be sent without injury to any one. (Laughter.) Well, then, I shall ask the noble lord at the head of the Government whether he agrees with the recommendation thrown out by the nobte , lord the Secre tary for Foreign Affairs' about two years•ago, and whe ther it is the intention of the Government to carry.iuto effect the noble lord's suggestion to abolisb,the office of Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland, which, as far as my obser vation goes, is (so we understood the noble lord) a use less and expensive institution. Their lordship's then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS--(YESTERDAY.) The SPBAK took the chair at a few minutes to four o'clock. . NEW MEMBER. Mr. MONCREIFF, the Lord Advocate for Scotland, took the oaths and his seat on his re-election for Leith Burghs. PRIVATE BILLS. A great number of private bills were brought up by Mr. BROTHERTON, and read a first time. PETITIONS. Mr. BROTET_ER,TON presented a petition from the letter-carriers of Manchester, complaining of the in adequacy of their salaries. Mr. MACGREGOR presented a petition from a me chanics' institution, praying for grants of Parliamentary papers. Lord R. GROSVENOR presented a petition from London, praying the house to take steps to procure the withdrawal of French troops from Rome. Mr. BRIGHT presented two petitions from certain. Mahommedans of-Bombay, complaining of the adininis tratioofiEe law in that Presidency, so far as it related to the succession of real property. Mr. B. OSBORNE presented a petition from a large body of tea merchants, praying for the repeal of the duty on tea. Colonel BLAIR presented a petition from the hand- Loom weavers of Paisley, praying for the abolition of the truck system. Mr. ADbERLEY presented a petition from the Cape of Good Hope on the subject of the constitution of that colony. Mr. TUFFNELL presented a petition from the Maintree and Booking Mechanics' Institution in favour of the gratuitous supply of . Parliamentary papers to those institutions. INDIA __ _ . The Earl of ELLENBORIAJW postponed, until Thursday, his question in referthiCe the production of a letter from the secret committee of the Court of Di rectors of the East India Company to the Governor- General of India, dated October, 1829, and giN:ng instructions as to the line of operations in any future' war with Ava. THE MONEY ORDER OFFICE. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved for a re 6urn of ail the appointments of the presidents of the money order offices in London, Dublin, and Edinburgh, since the money order system be came officially connected with the Post-office, specify ing the appointments they had previously held in the Post-office, or in any other public department ; also, two other returns in regard to the same depart ments. The noble earl took occasion to com plain of the appointment of Mr. Joseph Long to the presidentship of the Dublin Money Order-office, that gentleman, although previously unconnected with the post-office, having been placed above other officers of long service and experience, who, according to the ordi nary practice of the establishment, ought to have had a preference. The noble earl also defended the course which he had taken in appointing Mr. Frederick Hill, as well as others to responsible and important offices. The Earl of HARDWICKE stated that before making the appointment referred to, he had made' enquiry into the condition of the money-order office, and there was no precedent for selecting a clerk, or any one else con nected with the establishment. Lord CANNING thought that there would be no objection to produce the papers moved for. He was of opinion, however, that it was prejudicial to appoint in dividuals to reponsible positions who had little or no ac quaintance with the tontine. THE SIX-MILE-BRIDGE AFFRAY. The Earl of CARDIGAN, in pursuance of notice, rose to put a question to her Majesty's Government with regard to the alleged prosecution of certain soldiers for their conduct at Six-mile-bridge. The services re quired of the army were manifold, and extended over the whole world ; most of those services were accom panied with danger ; and perhaps the least painful and the least irksome were those of actual engagement in the field, because they were then attended with glory. There were other duties, not unattended with danger, far more painful —for example, when the soldiers were called upon to act against their own countrymen in times of public disturbance. A duty which was peculiar to the sister kingdom was that of attending voters at a general election. In England, instead of being brought to act, the soldiers, on the occasion of a general election were sent to a distance from the place of polling; whereas in Ireland the al, aiy was employed on. all occasion in supporting the authorities and preserving the public peace. In his humble opinion that duty was one which ought not to be required of the army ; at the same time he was perfectly aware, from the disturbed state of the sister country, it was difficult to say how a general elec tion could be got through without the assistance of the military or of a force equally sufficient fgr.the purpose. But if they employed the troops in such a servite, attended with danger but with no credit or honour, antrit in de fence of their lives they used their arms,,; even at the risk ,and. with the necess&ry•teonsequeneing the Irves of others by whom they were attackie said the Government was bound to support those troops, (Hear.) He understood some soldiers belonging to an infantry regiment were engaged in this kind of service at the last general election in the county of Clare. The populace were urged on by certain parties to the highest state of rage and fury, and large bodies of men made a violent attack on those soldiers. Their lives being exposed to danger, they defended themselves, and fatal conse quences to some of their assailants followed. Now, he believed it had been held by the highest legal au thorities that when troops under arms were attacked, they had a right to employ those arms in their defence. Such being the case, he was surprised to hear that not only were the Crown lawyers in Ireland going to prosecute these soldiers, but were about to be sent down specially by the Government for the purpose. He would be glad to know, if the Crown lawyers were going to prosecute these soldiers becausp they defended themselves against an infuriated populace, whether the Government would furnish money for the defence ? That would be a most extraordinary anomaly, and was therefore not probable. He had heard it said it was just as well the soldiers should be prosecuted by the Crown lawyers, because they would fare no worse; but he thought such a doctrine would not be intelligible to the men in her Majesty's service; they would only understand that they would be prosecuted for doing a justifiable act when oit duty, and by the greatest talent which th e C rown could command: He therefore begged to ask whether it was tlie fact that , the soldiers at Six-mile-bridge were about; to be prose cuted by the Crown lawyers by the authority of the Government; and whether, if so, how were the expenses of the defence to be defrayed ? He would take the liberty of adding, that he was credibly informed it was the intention of her Majesty's late Government to bring actions against those priests who excited the populace on the occasion, and he should like to know if her Majesty's present Government intended to take the same course? The Earl of ABERDEEN : Nothing can be more natural than the interest which the noble earl feels in the fate of those persons whose case he has brought be fore your lordships' attention. I am Sure the house must respond to those feelings ; and certainly no one can be more sensible than I am of the great pains and for bearance displayed by her Majesty's troops when em ployed in the most irksome and most painful service they have to perform, in assisting in the preslrvation of the public peace. (Hear, hear.) But, my lairds, the noble earl's inquiry is somewhat premature. Only this day I received intimation from the L ord - Lieutenant that the matter is under the consideration of the Irish Govern ment, and that no steps whatever have yet been decided on. Your lordships will perhaps recollect that on the verdict of the coroner's inquest on the murdered men, the learned gentleman who lately filled the office of Attorney-General in Ireland brought the case be e w i h n ioh Dublin,fac t o n u r d a h e n t h c e v C o u o v r u e e r r d t d t oot of p r o o f Q c uu three h e e n e s coroner's d e ß c i e s n i oc jury. 1 th fully considering the matter, the Court came to a una nimous decision that there were no grounds for that pro ceeding. In doing so, I make no doubt they were per fectly right ; and I understand the. Court expressed an opinion that it could only set aside the verdict upon some informality or technicality on the face of the pro ceedings. That not being the case, the verdict was allowed to stand undisturbed. If the case were so clear as the noble earl represents it, and I am not disposed to doubt it, for from every account I have received of the transaction, the manner in which he des cr ib es it is per fleeactrinyedcorrgoeucttl—embaunt,ifththee law w se whereoffioer sude o,or why the late did not the Go vernment, enter at once a nolle prosequO li e might thus have stopped the proceedings at the instant. The present Attorney-General may still do so, for I am not prepared to say what course the Irish Government may determine on taking. As to the prosecution having been underta ken by the law officers of the Crown, that is a matter of course in Ireland ; but the Attorney-General may at any stage of the proceedings, by interfering on behalf of the Crown, stop the further progress of the trial. lam sure I do not know whether it will be considered right to pro ceed at all, but if it should, and if the case should be sent for trial, the grand jury may ignore the bill, and if so, that would be an additional reason for the Attorney- General exercising his power to stop further laroceedings. I am really unable to give any answer to the noble earl as to the course intended to he pursued by the Irish Go vernment, because it is only to-day, as I have said, that I heard from my noble friend at the head o f the Irish Government that the matter is still under consideration, and that no decision has been come to on the subject. The Earl of HARDWICKE — I am sur e the noble earl used a word which he did not intend when he spoke of the people that were shot as being " murdered men." The Ear of ABERDEEN—Oh ! I o n l y meant they were killed. l (Laughter.) The Earl of DERBY—I presume the noble earl in tends the same answer to apply to the, other question which was put to him by my noble friend with regard ta the prosecution of the priests, who certainly, according to the published accounts, appear to have taken an ac tive part in the riot. The Earl of ABERDEEN—The noble earl has anti cipated the answer I was about to give. The question is also under the same consideration as the other. THE LORD-LIEUTENANCY. The Earl of CARDIGAN—I beg to give notice that on Monday next I shall take the liberty of asking a question of her Majesty's Government with regard to a subject which was introduced by a noble lord—l hardly know how to describe him—l suppose I must call him the leader of the Government in the other house— Lord COLCHESTER—The Foreign Secretary.

ALLSOPP & SONS' PALE OR BITTER ALES have been unquestionably vouched, by the most eminent scientific and medical men of the day, to be " a very a;.eeable and efficient tonic, as a general beverage both for the inva lid and the robust; and as tending, from the pure and wholesome nature of the ingredients employed, the moderate proportion of alcohol present, and the very considerable quantity of aromatic anodyne bitter derived from hops alone, which they contain, to pre serve the tone and vigour of the stomach, and to conduce to the restoration of that organ when in a state of weakness, debility, or irritability. " In all cases in which Malt Liquors Pre suitable, nose meet the de sired effect more certainly, none are prescribed with more confidence by the Faculty. • " The careful manner In which the fermentation is conducted, causes them to assimilate to Fo eign Wines more than the ordinary a'es of this country; end of this account they do not occasion that acidly of stomach creat^d by the lees perfectly fer mented ales."

CONTINUOUS ELECTRIC LIGHT AND THE MANUFACTURE OF COLOURS. It would appear that the electric light which has been dazzling- and bewildering both the scientific and the business world for the last quarter of a century, is on the eve of being made applicable to the uses of every day life. The great fact that a light more continuous, more steady, and more brilliant, than any previously obtained from the galvanic battery process, was exhi bited in Palace-yard on Thursday night, is generally known, for it excited a lively interest in a large body of spectators, amongst whom were the members of par liament who attended the first re-assembling of the legislature on that evening. But it is not known to the world that it is asserted this light can be main tained continuously and is absolutely costless—nay, that ;;s production is accomplished by a process, originating with Dr. Jos. J. W. Watson, which converts the ele ments employed in that process into valuable market able commodities, superseding by their cheapness and their perfection all similar elements known amongst chemists and colour manufacturers. This is the great secret of the new light, as applicable to every-day life—it costs nothing ! We are assured of this fact i n a publication just issued by Mr. Watson ' entitled " A few Remarks on the Present State and Prospects of Electrical Illumination." He therein freely acknow ledges the credit due to the Rev. Mr. N. J. Callan, Mr. Smee, Professor Daniel, and others, for their various improvements in the form and mode of action of the galvanic battery, and claims for himself only the merit of discoveries in the elements of transmutation, and the ap plication of the forces to practical and valuable uses. Such discoveries are, however, the grounds on which a true reputation may rest, for the doctrine of practical uses in a doctrine universally recognised. Mr. Watson says in his pamphlet, that by the employment of only five substances in his batteries, he is able to transform them into one hundred productive commodities, not by any subsequent mixing, but as the positive result of the electricity in the battery which generates the light—so that the process of that generation multiplies elements sold as colours, and the light itself is costless. It would seem, in fact, to be a colour manufactory, with the con tinuous electric light, as an ordinary effect of the pro cess. The substance forming the colours are declared also to be of the first-rate quality and endurance, so that here is a great revolution in the colour manufac tories as well as in the cost of the electric light.

ACCIDENT AT THE ROYAL OLYMPIC THEATRE.—On Thursday night the audience at this theatre were much alarmed by a very serious accident which happened to one of the performers. The pantomime of Queen Nab was being played, when one of the characters, the Sprite, unfortunately slipped from a rope, fell with great violence on the stage, and broke his arm in two places. He was, of course, removed instantly to the surgery of Mr. Walker, where every attention was paid to the case, and lie is going on favourably. NOTICES OF MOTION. Sir J. V. SHELLEY gave notice that on Monday he should move for the appointment of a select com mittee to inquire into the operation of the law under which dues or taxes were levied on the introduction of coals into the metropolis or its neighbourhood, and the mode of collection, and the expenditure of such dues or taxes. (Hear, hear.) Sir H. WILLOUGHBY gave notice that in going into committee of supply, he should move for the pro duction of documents to explain the policy and final object of the Burmese war. kr. BUTT gave notice that on Wednesday next he should move for leave to brin cr in a bill to limit the time between the proclamation and the day of election, for counties, and the time betwe en the receipt of the writ and the election for boroughs, and also to limit the time of polling at elections for the universities of Oxford and Cambridge. RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN SPAIN. On the motion that the house at its rising do adjourn until Monday next, Sir R. H. INGLIS begged to put a question to his noble friend the Secretary of State of Foreign Affairs, of which he had given him private and public notice. It had reference to a decree issued by the Spanish Go vernment, and dated November 17, 1852, by which it was provided that no stranger, whether domiciliated in Spain, or passing through it, should be permitted to profess any other religion than that of the Catholic, Apostolical, and Roman--in other words, the Roman Catholic subjects. If this had: applied only to Spanish subjects, it would not, he admitted, have been a fair subject for the house. Whether the King of Dahomey had an army ofimen and women, and could put to death 6,000 of them in one day, was a matter which, however as Christians and men of humanity we might deplore it, we should still have no right to- interfere in. But when the decree to which he called the attention of the house applied as much to any hon. member of this house tra velling in Spain as to the natural born subjects of the Queen of Spain, he thought it due, not only to our com mon character as Protestants, or even our character as Englishmen, but to the great intercourse of social 'ife throughout Europe, that such ran interdiction should not be applied to those professing what they believed to be the truth—(hear)—and let his noble friend recollect that this was not an interference will either public meetings or preaching. With that he had nothing to do. He called - up - on - the lie tolisten to that part of the decree which related to the subject in question, and to say whether it did not distinctly prohibit the profession of any religion, whether by natives or foreigners except that of the Church of R ome . Th e decree, which was dated the 17th Nov., appearect in the Spanish Ga4,:te of the 25th. The par'.; of the decree to which he parti cularly referred, was tho 25th article of the 3d chapter, and it is stated, with regard to the civil condition of persons domiciled or travelling in Spain, that no such stranger shall profess, in Spain, any other religion than the apostolic faith of Rome. lie asked if it was consist ent with the duty of the members of that house, or with the duty of the noble lord who had the control of our intercourse with foreign powers, that such a decree should be permitted to pass unnoticed. (Hear, hear.) When he first called the attention of the house to the subject, the thing appeared to him to be so utterly un reasonable as to be incredible. He believed the noble lord had received some information on the subject, and he wished to ask him distinctly whether he had or had not received such information ; whether, if such infor mation had been received, it was the intention of the noble lord to lay it on the tab'e of the house ; and whe ther the noble lord had or had r in the name of the Queen of this Protestant country, taken some measures to redress the possible or the probable wrong which such a decree unaltered might produce on her Majesty's Pro testant subjects ? Let it not be said that this was a mere Papal intrigue. It might be convenient for the Court of Spain not to. put into, force such a decree against such an ally as. England ;, but_sc long as it remained Imre pealed, the time might -not be very far'distant when' it might be found convenient for, the Government of Spain, to act upon it ; and when, without referring to persons in Italy or other parts of the world, it might be con venient, as had already been done, to seize an English subject for professing his belief in the Protestant religion, not because he was opening a conventicle without the sanction of the law, or preaching in the street, but be cause he was assembling his own family for Protestant worship. Mr. M. MILNES said, before the noble lord answered the question he wished to ask him another, somewhat in connection with 'the same subject. It was stated not long ago by the then Foreign Minister, that after sundry negotiations with the Spanish Government, permission had at last been given to open a. Protestant burial-ground in the city of Madrid. He believed an intimation had since been given, that although we were permitted to bury our fellow subjects in ground to which some reli gious ceremony was attached, that nevertheless a con dition was insisted upon that we should perform no religious ceremony whatever over the grave of the per son thus interred. He considered such a condition de rogatory to the position which England had a right to insist upon, and ho therefore wished to ask the noble lord whether, if this condition still continued, he would have any objection to instruct our representative at Madrid to reopen the question with the Spanish Govern ment, in order to the removal of such a disgraceful pro hibition ? (Hear.l_ Lord J. RUSSELL said, with respect to the question of his hon. friend the member for the University of Oxford, he begged to state that it was certainly quite true that, by the 25th article of the law to which he had referred, it was declaTed that no stranger, no foreigner, can profess in Spain any other religion than the Catholic Apostolic Roman religion. The noble lord who preceded him in the Foreign-office had asked for an explanation of this decree, and he now held in his hand the answer of Lord Howden to the despatch sent to him on the subject. Lord Howden acknowledged the receipt of the dispatch of the 20th of December, desir ing him to ask verbally of, the Minister for Foreign Af fairs the meaning intended to be conveyed by the word " profess," as used in the 25th article of the 3d chapter of the decree of the 17th of NoVember. Lord Howden went on to say that, in answer to the inquiries he had made, he had been informed that the contents of the said article did not in the slightest degree change the piac tice which had hitherto been observed, nor consequently would any alteration be - thereby introduced with respect to that practice. If his hon. friend wished that this dis patch, or any other relating to that subject, should be laid before the house, he should have no hesitation in complying with his wish. (Hear.) With regard to the question relating to the burial-ground at Madrid, some correspondence had recently taken place on the subject. A piece of ground for the purpose of burial had been offered by the Spanish Govertment. Some objections existed to the ground, but he believed there had not lately been any question as to the performance of cere monies. He was not aware that any question was likely to be asked on the subject, and if he had been mistaken in his answer, he would take the opportunity of correct ing his statement at some other time. He believed there was no objection on the part of the Spanish Government, unless it, was to the erection of a chapel. (Hear.) DEATHS IN EMIGRATION VESSELS. Mr. HILDYARD wished to inquire of the Under- Secretary of State for the Colonies, whether the Govern ment had caused inquiry to be made into the mortality which, according to recent accounts from Australia, took place on board four vessels chartered by the Emi gration Commissioners to convey emigrants between the ports of Liverpool and Melbourne. Mr. F. PEEL said no less than one hundred deaths occurred on board three vessels, and when they arrived in Melbourne, it was found that they had 300 sick persons on board. This arose out of circumstances over which the emigration commissioners had no control, as owing to the state of the shipping trade they were unable to charter single-decked ships. In three similar vessels 179 deaths occurred ; out of that number 167 were children, there being on board a num ber of children vastly disproportionate to the number ~ G-e-1-#, - -7 , c _r` \ • • - NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.., • 1:4 &-C\firS'AtaN • PORTSMOUTH, FAB. 11. The Surveyor of the Navy, Captain Sir Thomas Bald win Walker, K.C.B. has been inspecting the ships fit ting and other departments of her Majesty's dockyard. Sir Baldwin, accompanied by Captain Henderson, went on board the Excellent, and witnessed some shot and shell practice. The Duke of Wellington, 131, screw steam-line-of battle ship, Captain H. B. Martin, has been receiving her boilers on board this day under the sheers of the steam-basin. She also progresses in her rigging and every other department. The Prince Regent, 90, Captain Hutton, has cop pered three and four streaks from the water-line on the Port side, and is busy scraping and painting her upper works. Rear-Admiral Corry was in the yard to-day inspecting the work going on. The Rattlesnake 8, Commander Charles Trollope, arrived at Spithead this morning, in two of the African, steam-tug, from Sheerness. She appears to have made some water on her passage round. The Echo, steam tug, brought her into harbour this afternoon, for the purpose of docking her and stopping her leak, prepara tory to her sailing for Behring's Straits. The Asia, 84, got guys and warps all ready to come out of dock this day ; hands, however, could not be spared, and she waits till to-morrow. The Cruiser, 16, screw steam-sloop, Commander the Hon. Charles Douglas, was towed into the harbour at nine a.m., by Echo, steam-tug, and laid alongside the King's-stairs Jetty. She afterwards hauled into dock for the purpose of releasing the metal framework of her propeller, which fitted so tight in the groove that th e y could not work it on bo ar d ; thi s slight difficulty will be speedily overcome. She presents a perfect combination of beauty and strength ; her bottom faultless. The Excellent is training her gunners in night firing with night lights. She commenced last night about 8 o'clock, and no notice having been given through these towns the inhabitants thought some ship was in distress, and congregated iipon the walls, &c., to ascertain the t circumstances. To-day .Qtiler„,.imp&tant...itractice has `been carried anon board the * Ticellent, in the presence of Sir Baldwin Walker and the officers at the port. The Arrogant, 46, screw-frigate, Captain Fremantle, left for sea this morning about ten o'clock. She has gone on a three week's trial cruise, and, then . proceeds to Queenstown. . The Fairy yacht, Master Commander David, N. Welch, went this day to the measured mile, at Stokes Bay, for her third trial. To-morrow she ships her old one purposely to test the difference, after which she has one more trial with Griffith's patent propeller, when we shall be enabled to give full particulars of the trial from the commencement. We have much pleasure in stating that the patent propeller has met the highest approval, and its success has been ensured, not only by the ab sence of all vibration, but from an actual gain in speed as well. The African, steam-tug, returned to Sheerness this evening with supernumeraries. Sibelli, convict-ship, got under weigh this morning from Spithead, bound to Gibraltar. CONVICT LABOIIII.—It is expected that convicts will again be employed as labourers in those Royal dockyards where at present the whole of the unskilled work is per. formed by free labourers. The following vessels of the steam reserve at this port are ready for immediate service :—Her Majesty's ship Blenheim, screw two-decker, 60, Captain W. H. Hen derson, C. 8., senior officer; Vesuvius, 6; Stromboli, 6 ; Bulldog, 6 ; and Hecla, 6 ; all paddle-wheel sloops. There is a rumour of an increase of complement of men for the Blenheim. Captain Henderson' has been occu pied during the week with the trials of Griffith's patent propeller on board her Majesty's yacht Fairy, and seve ral inspections. It is reported that his disapprobation •of the foul condition of the bilges and engineroom of one of the steam sloops at this port has been notified to her commander, who will incur a serious responsibility, should he put to sea with them in that state and happen to be ordered to a tropical climate. Mr. Wallis, Mas ter, R.N., leaves the steam reserve for active service in her Majesty's steam-frigate Furious. The Conflict, 8, screw-corvette, is fitting out in the steam basin. PLYMOUTH, FEB. 11. The Desperate, steam-ship, Captain Chambers, went into the Sound to-day. The Vulture, steam-frigate, Captain Frederick H. H. Glasse, and Magicienne, steamer, Captain Thomas Fisher, were paid wages in advance to-day. The Rhadamanthns, steam-transport, Master Com mander Belam, is to take supernumeraries to the east-. ward, but she is still in Hamoaze, nor is it certain what day she proceeds to sea—no doubt very shortly. The Goodwill, lighter, sailed yesterday, with stores for the eastward ; Camel, with stores for Pembroke ; and Rochester, with stores, for Portsmouth and Chatham. The Argus, revenue-steamer, arrived during the night of Thursday, from the eastward. • • SHEERNESS, FEB. 10. The Melampus, .42, has this day been transported out of the fitting baSin and docked in the north dock, to be fitted with all possible dispatch as a transport, for con veyance of steam-machinery from port to port as re quired. The Espiegle, 12, Commander George Hancock— The Master, Mr. Thomas Huss, o f th e 30th o f Decem ber, 1848, has this day taken up his commission to this sloop. The Espiegle is progressing fast in her equipment. The marines having joined are now going on with the seamen's duty and assisting the seamen, gunners, and riggers, in the deck duty, and are truly useful in the ab scence. of seamen volunteers. In proof of this. even when the Waterloo, 120 guns, was rigged here under the directions of her then Commander George Hancock, now in command of the Espiegle, the marines stropped all the blOcks for aloft and below, pointed and fitted all her gun breechings, •and, with the assistance of the seamen gunners 'only, completely rigged that ship ready for sea. It is becoming quite proverbial now with old man-of war's-men here, "Let the Jollys rig the ship, and when she is all ready we will join her." The seamen, on join ing, see every rope and line b e l aye d on i ts proper cleat, and all is ready for bending sails. The emulation of the marines would even reach that duty if the service did not prevent that class from going aloft except under very urgent circumstances. It is most gratifying to see the good feeling that generally exists between the sailors and marines. The blue-jacket says, "The Jollys are nowa days our helpmates, our watchmates, and our shipmates, although not our mesimates ;" and the sailors' creed is that " there is three to one in favour of the marines." Under the present circumstances the want of seamen is not so seriously felt while fitting out as formerly, the marines being now daily improving in their duty as sea men riggers, and increasing their value in the service. ze,oiili3istoteri,y,n_si:iol,3o.ptaoctaeUhllAecrhi,inT..figHtgoinAphgMe:,&Fwe.E,yviuß.tulrl,n. turned now into store, and she is to he paid off to-morrow at this port. One . orthe seamen of this frigate was. lost on Sa turday last, having fallen overboa r d b y overbalancing himself while dismantling the ship, and was drowned, although two persons jumped overboard after him in the hope of being able to save him. A very singular circum stance occurred on board the Castor on her homeward voyage, one of the crew having fallen from the topmast rigging on two of the men standing on deck, who com pletely broke his fall, without his materially hurting either of the mien he fell upon. The Imperieuse, 50, screw steam-frigate, Captain R. B. Watson, C. 8., is progressing rapidly. His Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge expressed his inten tion of visiting this fine ship to-day, but at a late hour it was announced that his Royal Highness's visit was postponed to a future day. The crew of the Imperieuse were inspected on board the Hussar receiving-ship to day by Commodore Wyvill, of the Castor, and about 36 or 40 of the crew of that vessel have expressed their in tention of serving with Captain Watson on the expira tion of their six weeks' leave, after being paid off to morrow. In consequence of the comparatively few captains at present at the Woolwich division, Captain J. H. Mercer, of the Chatham division, has proceeded to Woolwich to do duty with that division. WOOLWICH, FEB. 11. The Phoenix screw steam-sloop, Commander Ingle field, has been brought down from Deptford, and was taken into dock here to-day to be fitted for a voyage to the Arctic regions. The Sinbad, Second Master Follett, arrived at this port yesterday with stores fram Portsmouth. ----- THEATRICAL SPECULATIONS.—In the Sheriffs Court, in the case of Moulds v. Kerschn er , a question arose which is interesting t o th e theatrical profession. The action was to recover 51. Us. Bd., alleged to be due to the plaintiff for work and labour. It appeared from the evidence of the plaintiff that in the year 1849 he was the carpenter of the Pavilion Theatre, at which period the defendant became manager and director, and engaged him at the weekly salary of 3/. 155., which was subsequently reduced to 31. 10s. per week, but the speculation being unsuccessful, the company formed themselves into a commonwealth, and he (plaintiff) re ceived his salary—or so much of it as he could get— from the hands of Mr. Farebrother, the treasurer. On cross-examination the plaintiff denied that he had ever consented to share with, or come in under the common wealth. He always considered-his contract was wit h the any endefendant.gagen witht T ie thn pldefendantafnt plaintiff, denied w hn t that h:me. employed a r yed made a t the theatre previously to his (defendant's) b e eco co nu mpann to mana ger. He applied to him on behalf of o reduce his salary from 31.155. to V. hisl ask him for the pay account, nor did the plaintiff ever was leaving the theatre, rangement whatever with him on ment of a single shilling until he _ (defendant's) e h b f e u n t d m an a t de o no ow ar n • cross-examinationthe theatre had gone on under defendant admitted that l if t when, as a matter of course, e re ferr b e y d hmimr.toLtehvencotmhe madrad.ition to his salary have com monwealth.

Mr. Benjamin deposed to his h •al his e ways looked e eev d aeofnd t fo h o n e er paernareefipht profits, conjunctione inondurtwe r,having the plaintiff as being one of the common. wealth, from the fact of his receiving such portion of his salary from week to week as there were funds to meet. Th e plaintiff always. looked to witness for payment, and not to the defendant, who never received a penny out of the receipts of the theatre. The learned Undersheriff, in summing up, observed that, although the plaintiff was working for the commonwealth, there was no direct evi dence that he was one of them. The question therefore was, whether the defendant had contracted with the plaintiff in the first instance, and whether the plaintiff had subsequently a g reed to come in under the common wealth. The jury, after a protracted consultation, gave a verdict for the plaintiff for the full amount. d •
