DEBATE . Earl GREY explained that the contract was entered into by the Colonial-office in 1848, when the greatest distress prevailed in the West India colonies, and when it was desirable to import free labourers into them from the coast of Africa. He bore testimony to the integrity with which Messrs. Hythe and Hodges had carried out the contract, and stated the precautions which he had taken when in office, to prevent the emi gration of these labourers becoming a means of trafficing in the slave trade. The subject then dropped. Rushbrook's Divorce Bill, the Colonial Bishops' Act Extension Bill, and the Patronage Exchange Bill, were severally read a second time. The Excise Duties on Spirits, and the Juvenile Men dicancy bills went through committee. STATE OF JAMAICA. The Duke of NEWCASTLE presented certain papers connected with the island of Jamaica, and called the attention of the house to the subject. [LEFT SPEAKING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS--(THIS EVENING.)

The petitioners also alleged that the late petition presented against the return of Mr. Whalley was in fact instigated and sustained at the expense of the said Earl Fitzwilliam. The petition prayed in conclusion for the appointment of a select committee to inquire into these circumstances; and the hon. member gave notice that on a future even ing he should move for a select committee for the pur pose of inquiring into the allegations of the petition. Mr. T. DUNCOMBE presented a petition from Lewisham, complaining of the unjust treatment of the poor in the union workhouse of that place. Mr. CHEETHAM presented petitions from various dissenting congregations against the Education Bill. Mr. ALEX. HASTIE presented a petition from Glas gow in favour of the India Bill. Mr. R. CURRIE presented petitions from Northamp ton and other places in favour of marriage with a de ceased wife's sister. HIGHGATE ARCHWAY. In answer to Mr. FREWEN, Mr. FITZROY said that there was no intention on the part of the Government, and, in fact, the Go vernment had no right to demand, that the Trustees of the Highgate Archway Road should apply for a new act. COLONIAL SUGAR. Mr. BAILLIE asked the Chancellor of the Exche quer whether it was true that the Government had re fused to allow British Plantation Sugars to be refined in bond ; and whether the Government intends, when the duties upon all sugars were equalised, that the pri vilege of refining in bond, which was considered a bonus equal to 2s. per cwt., should be continued in favour of foreign slave grown sugar, and refused to the produce of the British colonies ? The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said that the hcn. gentleman must be mistaken as to the facts, as the Government had given no decided or final refusal of the sort. With regard to the second part of the question, that was a matter for future consideration. GOVERNMENT OF INDIA. Mr. WARNER asked the President of the Board of Control, whether, in the event of the house consenting to the second reading of the India Bill, her Majesty's Government would be willing, in compliance with the expressed opinion of many members of this house to insert a clause limiting the duration of the intended act to some certain short term of years ? Lord J. RUSSELL said the Government would not introduce any such clause into the bill. ADMISSION OF JEWS INTO PARLIAMENT. In answer to Mr. DUNCOMBE, Lord J. RUSSILLL said he had no intention of bringing any measure before Parliament this session of that description. THE CAMP AT CHOEHAM. Sir G. GOODMAN asked if there would be any ob jection to inform the public beforehand of the days on which reviews were to take place at Chobham? Lord PALMERSTON said the main object of assem bling the troops at Chobham was to prepare them by previous instruction for all the exigencies of war. One essential point was, that they should never know before hand what they were to do the next day, whether they would be awakened in the middle of the night or at day break. If the public were let into the secret, it would be difficult to keep the troops in the dark ; but those who were anxious to witness those interesting evolutions, might be certain that every day when it did not rain, those who visited 'the scene were perfectly certain of seeing things worthy of the trouble of going there. THE NAVY. - Sir J. GRAHAM gave notice that, on Tuesday ne:xt, he - s hould move for leave to bring in two bills, one to Wake better provision for the entry and services of sea men in the navy, and the other for the purpose of esta blishing a volunteer coast guard, to be transferred to the navy in cases of need. PERFORATED STAMPS. Mr. WILSON stated, in reply to a question, that the perforated stamps would be ready for delivery to the public in a few days. STA_MP UTIES. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said per haps it would be for the c onven i ence of the house that he should state that if, as the Government anticipated, the debate on the second reading of the India, Bill ter minated in the course of to-night, he should take the resolutions relating to the Stamp Duties the first thing to-morrow evening, and after them to resume th e com mittee on the Succession Duties Bill. On the order of the day for resuming the djourned debate on the Government of India Bill, Mr. RICH rose and urged upon the hous3 the neces sity of delay. The house had been sitting so long that it was now in a jaded state, and looking at the advanced period of the session it was hardly to be expected that the house would give this question that attention which its importance demanded. Resides it would seem the Government had been undecided about bringing this bill in this session, while a larger meaning had been put upon the advice which Lord Dalhousie was said to have given on the subject than the noble lord himself intended. No harm could follow delaying this question until a future session. He thought, under these circumstances, it was mani festly the duty of the house to pass a short continuation bill of the existing charter, in order that it might wait for the report of the India Committee before it proceeded to legislate permanently on the subject. No party triumph could result from the postponement of this mea sure, nor could it give rise to the inconvenience of un necessary agitation in India or at home, and lie hoped in the end the Government would be induced to give way. The complaints alleged against the present Government of India were these first, it was said the natives were unjustly excluded from the high offices of State, and that the law was badly admi nistered. Then it was said the anomalous form of the double government was objectionable, because it gave rise to a divided responsibility. All these complaints, be believed, were well founded, and something ought to be done to remove the cause of them, which this bill certainly did not do. It contained some points of use ful reform, but unfortunately it left the constitution of the Court of Directors and the distribution of the patron age untouched, while its duration was not limited to any filed period, which was a strong reason in favour of de lay. At all events, however, if they were to have this bill, its operation should be limited to five years ; but on the whole he thought it would be much better to defer legislation altogether for the present, and he for one should vote for the amendment. (LEFT SPEAKING.) PLYMOUTH SAILORS' HOME.—The Admiralty have liberally forwarded to the Plymouth Sailors' Home a valuable and interesting library for the use of the in mates, consisting of 315 v o l umes , th e est i mated cost of which is 791. 13s. sd. The selection comprises works of standard literature, in addition to Scott's Bible, the Pictorial Bible, and many other books of a religious tendency. The list includes the Society's Atlas, valued at six guineas, a standard dictionary, Knight's Pictorial History of England, with most of Dickens' productions. " The Home" is in excellent order, and we recommend an inspection to all who feel interested in the sailor's welfare.—Plymouth Jouiiiai. IRON SOVEREIGNS.—The notice-caution against electro plated iron shillings, published last Monday in this pa per, has led to the detection and apprehension of several members of the gang engaged in circulating these coun terfeits. A correspondent now writes :—" That a quan tity of sovereigns manufactured in a similar way, and five-shilling pieces and half-crown., are in circulation, so skilfully executed as to defy every test, but that of weighing. It has been ascertained that some of these spurious sovereigns are covered with as much gold as would cost 3s, Amongst others who have been victim ised are the metropohtan clergy : the utterers, under pretence of paying the fee for putting up the banns,' having obtained a considerable amount in change for their imitation." POSTAL ANOMALIES.. THE PENNY POSTAGE.—The postage on a letter exceeding an ounce in weight by the smallest scruple, transmitted to India, via Marseilles, is 7s. 9d. This is probably the most expensive route in the world. Still it is not the weight or bulk of the mails conveyed in this direction that makes this exorbitant charge for letter postage necessary, for a copy of the London Times, weighing three ounces, is transmitted to India via Marseilles, for 3d., or for only ld. per ounce. Thus manuscript mail matter is charged at the rate of more thik 12,0001. per ton in this direction, whilst printed matter pays only at the rate of 1501. per ton. The postal anomalies in other directions are more striking still. From the Channel Islands to the remotest of the Shetland group; changing from steamer to railway and from railway to steamer for nearly 1,000 miles, the charge on a letter weighing half an ounce is ld. From Dover to Calais, two ports almost within sight of each other, the charge on a letter of the same weight is ls. 3d ! From the western boundary of Texas to the north eastern boundary of the American Union, a distance of 3,000 miles, lid. From Dover to San Francisco, in Cali fornia,vid the United States ' involving thre e ocean t rans i ts each averagi ng 2,000 miles, besides three inland services, 18.2 d. From Dover to Calais, a distance of less than 30 miles,oneshilling and threepence fora letter weighing i oz.! The charge on a single letter from London to New York is ls.; but from LonclejLto San Francisco via New York ls. 2d., leaving only 2d. for the cost of its transmission from New York to Chagres, thence across the Isthmus to Panama, thence by ocean steamer to San Francisco, a voyage of about 15 days ! These are some of the postal anomalies which would be removed by the establishment of a universal ocean penny postage. AGED AND INFIRM BISHOPS.—Mr. Phinn has given notice of his intention, on a supply night, to call the attention of the Government and of the house to the present state of the diocese of Bath and Wells, and to inquire whether it be the intention of the Government to propose any Mcmcnirn with s viftw to the better regu lation of the dioceses in which the bishops, from age or infirmity, are unable to exercise their functions. WHY IS THERE SO MUCH DISEASE Most of us do not get any walk, or a very short one, which is scarcely ofany use. Man is formed to take simple, plain, wholesome food. He eats all sorts of things, which not only do him no good, but do him harm ; and he drinks large quanti ties of beer, spirits, and wine, which hurt his stomach, and take away the proper use of his brain. Man ought to wash himself all over with water every day, so as to cleanse the pores of the skin, e l se th ey get stopped up ; he cannot perspire rightly, and his skin cannot breathe. The majo rity of people only wash their hands and faces every day. Man should wear clean clothes next to his skin, because the body gives off bad fluids. At present many people wear the same things, day after day, for weeks together. Man was intended to live in the light. Many, very many, have scarcely any light in the room. Man in this cli mate must wear warm clothing. Many have no flannel, and are clad with heavy and useless things.—Hogg's Instructor. NATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF WOMEN.—The Eng lish woman is respectful and proud ; the French woman is gay and agreeable ; the Italian is ardent and passion ate; the American Is sincere and affectionate. With an English woman love is principle ; with a French woman it is a caprice ; with an Italian it is passion ; with an American it is a sentiment. A man is married to an Eng lish lady ; united to a French woman ; cohabits with an Italian; and is wedded to an American. An English woman is anxious to secure a lord ; a French woman a companion ; an Italian, a lover ; an Ameri can, a husband. The Englishman respects his lady ; the Frenchman esteems his companion ; the Italian adores his mistress ; the American loves his wife. At night the Englishman returns to his house ; the French man to his establishment ; the Italian to his retreat ; the American to his home. When an Englishman is sick, his lady visits him; when a Frenchman is sick, his companion pities him ; when an Italian is sick, his mis tress sighs over him ; when an American is sick, his wife nurses him. When an Englishman dies his lady is bereaved; when a Frenchman dies, his companion grieves; when an Italian dies, his mistress laments ; when an American dies, his wife mourns. An English woman instructs her offspring ; a French woman teaches her progeny ; an Italian rears her young; an American educates her child. —A merican Paper. SUMMER DRESSES. — Bankruptcy of Mr. E. Blake ley, Silk Mercer and Shawl Manufacturer to her Majesty. —ln addition to the rich silks and shawls in Mr. Blakeley's stock, recently purchased and now selling off by Messrs.

Dear Sir,—Among the numerous cures effected by your valuable medicines, permit me to inform you of the fol lowing : Mrs. Mary Jackson, residing in this town77s years of age, had a dreadful bad leg for upwards of five months ; there were three sores on it, and it was swollen to an immense size. Every person that saw it thought that she would not recover : however your ointment and pills alone have perfectly cured it.—Sold by all Drug gists, and at Professor Holloway's Establishment, 244, Strand. London. LADVERTISEMENT.j—THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM.- 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly.—Observe, opposite the York Hotel. The Royal Exhib:t 2 o-i. A valuable, newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat-pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be seen and known one mile and a half distant ; they answer every purpose on the race-course, at the opera-houses, country scenery, and ships are c l ear l y seen at 12 to 14 iles. They are invaluable for shooting, deer stalking, yachting, to spor:,smen, gentlemen, gamekeepers, and tourists. Telescopes—A new and most important inven:lon in telescopes, possessing such extraordinary powers that some, 33 inches, with an extra eye-piece, will show distinctly Jupiter's moons, Satarn's ring, and the double stars ; with the same telescope, weighing only 3 ounces, can be seen a person's countenance three miles and a half distant, and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They supersede every other kind for the waistcoat-pocket, and are of larger and all sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and race-course glasses, with wonderful power; an object can be clearly seen, from 14 to 16 miles distant. Messrs. S. and B. Solomoas, opticians, have in vented invaluable preserving spectacle lenses. Immediately, they are placed before imperfect vision, every object appears clear and distinct; the most aged, defective sight becomes bright and brilliant, is brought to its youthful, natural, and original state. Deafness—New Discovery— The Organic Vibrator, an extraordinary powerful and newly-invented instrumer for Deafness, entirely different from all others, to surpass anything of the kind that has been, or probably ever can be, p:oduced. Being of the same colour as tbe skin, it is not perceptible ; it enables deaf persons to hear distinctly at church and at public as semblies ; the unpleasant sensation of singing noises in the ears is entirely removed ; and it affords all the assist ance that possibly could be desired.—S. and B. Solomons, Aurif.,Ls and Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Piccadilly. Observe, opposite the York Hotel. After some further discussion to the same purport, the deputation withdrew, apparently intending to adopt the latter suggestion of his worship. The adjourned hearing of the summons against the churchwardens and overseers of St. Ann's, Soho, for arrears of rates due to the boa r d o f guardians was ixed for yesterday afternoon ; but the amount demanded (4001.) having been paid in the morning, the summons was withdrawn. One or two of the defendants ex- pressed a strong opinion upon "ihe indignity of being dragged into a criminal court," and another demanded compensation for loss of time; but Mr. Henry could not admit that there were any just grounds for either the one or the other. In the course of the summons cases against cab drivers, an illustration was given of the inconvenience occasioned by railway companies in causing a different set of numbers to be painted upon cabs which ply for hire at their stations. A gentleman who had been over charged took the railway number instead of the license number, and consequently the wrong man was served with the summons. William .Henry Woodhouse was charged with assault ing John Cochrane, a mechanic. The complainant (whose face was sadly digfigured) said, that about three months ago he had occasion to give defendant's brother into custody for assaulting him in the street, and knocking three of his teeth out. At that time the defendant accompanied his brother to the police station, and swore that he would take an early opportunity f knocking out the remainder of witness's teeth. They met accidentally last evening, When the , defendant pounced upon him, struck him repeatedly in the face, cut open his mouth, and would have no doubt completely carried out his threat, but for the, inter ference of a constable. The complainant's statement having been confirmed by the policeman, Mr. Henry ordered the defendant to pay a fine of 51.; and, in default, committed him for two months. SOUTIIWARK.—John Griffith, a young fellow about 18 years of age, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with uttering a counterfeit shilling to Rosina Langly, barmaid to Mr. Beeston, landlord of the Wind sor Castle Tavern, Suffolk-street, Southwark. The complainant said the prisoner tendered her a shilling in payment for some liquor ; and having seen a notice in the papers, about " iron shillings,". she care fully exam;ned it, and found it to be counterfeit. She called in a constable and gave him into custody. Mr. A'Beckett remanded him until Saturday, for the attendance of the Solicitor of the Mint. LIVERPOOL WRIT. Mr. JAMES MACGREGOR said he observed that the Liverpool writ stood at No. 14 on the orders for to night, and therefore there must be little chance of its being disposed of at the present sitting. N ow, looking to the importance of Liverpool, and the number of large commercial mea,sures that were before the house, it could not be the wish of the Government that Liverpool should be unrepresented ; and be should be glad to know if the Government would have any objection to place the order first on the list for to-morrow evening ? Lord J. RUSSELL was afraid the question would give rise to a good deal of discussion, and he could not consent to the proposal of the hon. member.

The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. PETITIONS. Lord BEAUMONT presented a petition from Glou cester, in favour of the establishment of tribunals of commerce. Lord CAMPBELL presented a petition from Kelso, in favour of the substitution of affirmations for oaths. The Earl of EGLINTON presented a petition from Glasgow, praying for the reform of the Legislative Assembly of Jamaica. Lord MONTEAGLE presented a petition from Mr. Robert Owen, praying for a select committee to inquire into his scheme for the education of the people. EMIGRATION OF AFRICANS TO THE WEST DS. In reply t o Lord BROU IN GHAM IE , The Duke of NEWCASTLE said there was an exist ing arrangement—he could not say whether it was made by the Colonial -office or not—with Messrs. Hythe and Hodges, by which they were enabled by a stipulated sum to introduce free emigrants from the coast of Africa to certain of the West, India colonies. Though he believed that firm had carried out the arrangement in a most praiseworthy manner, he admitted it might give rise to great evils, and, perhaps, degenerate in other other hands into an encouragement of the slave trade, and the matter would, therefore, be watched over m os t carefully by th e Government. He had no objection to produce the contract with the parties in question, but it would be desirable to accompany it by other docu ments. QUEEN'S BENCH—June 29, COPELAND V. CHILD. Mr. M. Chambers and Mr. Hawkins conducted the case for the plaintiff ; and Mr. Serjeant Wilkins ap peared for the defendant. This was an action for a breach of promise of mar riage. The defendant pleaded that there was no such agreement ; that at the time of making the agreement the defendant was an infant ; and that the agreement was rescinded. The plaintiff replied that the promise was continued after the defendant came of age. Mr. Chambers, in opening the case for the plaintiff, said the action was brought. by Maria Copeland, who was only 20 years of age, to recover compensation in damages from the defendant, who was, like herself, very young, though not qu:te so young as she, for he had now attained his majority. The circumstances of the case were very short and simple. The conduct of the defendant had been heartless and unkind, and such as ought to lead the jury to give this young woman con siderable damages, because, with ou t the l eas t reason , this young inanhad played with her feelings, gained her affections, and then, without any cause, deserted her and married another woman. The plaintiff was the daughter of a market-gardener, and the defendant was the son of a grocer, both living at Norwood. In September last, the parties having been for some time acquainted, the defendant paid attention to the plaintiff, and told her mother he wished to pay his addresses to her daugh ter. The mother assented to this, and they kept com pany, and he introduced her to his sister and other members of his family. He pursued this course, calling two or three times a day, until the 13th of February, and led every one to believe that the marriage would soon take place, for he said he was going to take a house, and he would make the plaintiff his wife. He left the plaintiff on Sunday evening, the 13th of Feb ruary;saying he:would call the'next day, but he did not do so ; and in a short time the plaintiff heard he had married another person, and was going t o A us t ra li a. Th e de fendant was then arrested, and put in bail, and had since gone to Australia. What right had this young man to promise marriage, gain the affections of the young woman, and then suddenly and abruptly, with out any cause, and meanly break off the intended mar riage, and marry another person ? Under these circum stances the jurors were asked, as sensible and honour able men, to say what the plaintiff was fairly entitled to. Mrs. Harriet Copeland—l am the mother of the plain tiff. We live at Norwood, and my husband is a mar ket-gardener. The plaintiff will be 21 in August. I know the defendant, who is the son of Mr. Child, the grocer, at Norwood. Before September last defendant used to visit my daughter, walking in the garden with her. On the 19th September he had tea and supper at our house. He said he had a great regard for my daughter, and should I have any objection to his com ing to visit her ? I said I had no objection, but not to come to my house to deceive us, but if he came in a respectable way I should have no objection. From that time he came once or twice a-day, and always on a Sunday afternoon. He continued this till the 12th of February. He called me his mother. I have three other daughters married. He called their husbands his brother-in-law. My daughter received his atten tions favourably. He constantly talked of being mar ried ; he would make her his wife, and would have no one else. On the 13th of February he came to my house. My daughter went with him to a christening of his cousin's child. When he went away he kissed her, and said " Good night, my dear ; I shall see you in! the morning." He did not come again to the house until the 21st of March. I had previously heard that he was going abroad. On the 21st of March, when he came, my daughter said, "I hear, James you are going to b e married ?" He s a id, "H w could anybody tell you such lies ? lam not going to be married." He said he was going abroad. My daughter said he had behaved very ill to her. He said he could not help it. He said he would call again and wish us good bye. He was married on the 29th of March to another person. He had told me that he was twenty-one on the 17th of last December. Cross-examined—He was a very respectable young man. He drove his father's cart out for orders. I never heard that his father bad a strong objection to the match. When he called, he sometimes had his cart with him. He said he had got the Prayer-book, and that they would learn the ceremony perfectly. Elizabeth Copeland—l am the wife of the plaintiff's brother. Plaintiff and defendant sometimes spent the evening at our house. He said she was the only girl he ever loved, and he should make her his wife. Her feel ings were very much hurt by the defendant's conduct. When he said he was going abroad, he said it would make no difference, as he should correspond with her, and would make her his wife in two years. Cross-examined—She was a dressmaker. This was the plaintiff's case. Mr. Sergeant Wilkins then addressed the jury for the defendant. This was not a case calling for heavy da mages. A hasty a n d no t very well - considered promise had been made and broken. Here was a young man in his father's employ, driving his cart, and stopping at the plaintiff's house when he was out soliciting orders. He had begun to assume the man, and no doubt it was gra tifying to a young man's vanity to talk of taking a house ; but he had no means of taking a house or putting a stock into it. He was a stupid young booby, who fancied himself in love with all the pretty girls he saw, and he had in this instance summoned up courage to ask the mamma ; but he had seen some one else, and then he fell in love with that person, and married her. He (Mr. Sergeant Wilkins) was not inclined to pay the young lady the bad compliment of supposing that the defendant was the only man who could obtain her affec tions, and he had no doubt but that, in a short time, her family would have to congratulate her upon being the wife of some other and more deserving individual, and and he thought the damages the jury would give would be very small. Lord Campbell having summed up, The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, damages 751. THE JURY. Some of the jurymen were fined Si. for non-atten. dance. The Court was kept waiting for a considerable time, there being at three o'clock only four jurymen in the box. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. BOW-STREET.—Mr. Hughes and Mr. Few, the churchwardens of St. Paul's, Covent-garden, together with several other respectable inhabitants of the parish, waited upon Mr. Henry to prefer a complaint against the police officers of the F division, for alleged neglect of duty. The applicants stated that fora considerable time past a number of brothel-keepers had been permitted to carry on their nefarious business in the most undisguised and offensive manner, in some of the largest thoroughfares of the district, but more especially in Brydges-street, Covent-garden. Here at any hour of the day or night, gaudily-dressed women were allowed to stand at the doors of sham-cigar shops, beckoning to by-passers, and often seizing them by the arm ; and when the police were urged to interfere, with the view of checking or altogether preventing this disgusting traffic, Superinten dent Pearce informed them that he had no power to do so, as the " soliciting" did not occur in the public streets. Now his worship was aware that there was a clause in the Police Act which directed the police to take all pros titutes into custody who were found soliciting in " any street or public place of resort." Surely ample authority was given under this clause to justify the apprehension of the women alluded to, whenever caught in the act of pestering the by-passers at their doors ' • and it was the object of the . p resen t app li cat i on to have that duty enforced upon them. Mr. Henry, while fully conscious of the extent of this nuisance, and deploring it as much as any man, was bound to admit that Superintendent Pearce had taken a proper view of the law upon the subject. The effect of the clause in question was to restrict the interference of the police to offences of the kind occurring in the public streets. The act gave them no power to enter people's houses to take up prostitutes, Mr. Hughes and Mr. Few (who are both solicitors) contended that the obvious intention of the Legislature was to prevent such occurrences anywhere within public observation. There was no distinction, in point of de cency, between a solicitation just within the threshold of a door and one an inch beyond it. Public feeling was just as much outraged 'by the one as the other. Mr. Henry said, although there may be no difference in a moral sense, the distinction in point of law was un questionable, and to satisfy the applicants that they were mistaken with regard to the intention of the Legislature, his woi ship reminded them of the decision relative to the interpi Jtation of the Vagrant Act. It was held by the superior courts that the clause which prohibited the ex hibition of obscene prints in any street or public place of resort did not affect the exposure of such prints in a shop window, and consequently the Vagrant Act was amended, the prohibition being thereby made to extend to shops, &c. No such amendment had been made in the Police Act, and the construction to be put upon the words "street or public place" was settled in the case referred to. It was in the power of the parish authori ties, however, to indict these brothels a t th e sess i ons, and he (Mr. Yenry) thought that that was the proper course to take. The remedy, after all, was in their own hands. THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY ,EVENING, JUNE 30, 1853. LAW INTELLIGENCE. the scene, we could fancy the well-known lines of Gold smith prophetic of the occasion : "And all the village train, from labour free, Led up their sports beneath the spreading tree; While many a pastime circled in the shade, The young contending as the old survey'd ; And many a gambol.frolick'd o'er the ground, And sleights of art, and feats of strength went round; And still, as each repeated pleasure tir'd, Succeeding sports the mirthful band inspir'd, The dancing pair, that simply sought renown By holding out to tire each other down ; The swain, mistrustless of his smutted face, While secret laughter titter'd round the place." We have little doubt, had it been possible to remain, that we should have found the fireworks and fun as fitting to the evening, as had been the flowerworks they succeeded in the sunny hours that were gone, and to which, in con c l us i on , a b r i ght starry sky would not be an unfitting crown. An enthusiastic analogist, a hundred years ago, might have said that in a region so mountainous, wild, and bleak as the High Peak, where rheumatism and many of its kindred ailments were sure to be rife, in consequence of the cold and frequent showers, it was one of the beautiful evidences of a designing Providence that medi cinal springs like those of Buxton had been ordained to supply the remedy. Times have materially changed since then. Planting and agriculture have altered all the pictorial aspects of the neighbourhood, and buildings of every needful kind are rising as they are wanted, until they may be at last regarded as on the high way to com pletion. Buxton, under good contrivance and good ma nagement, may now be considered as in a fair course of de velopment; and modern facilities for travelling have made it far more accessible for those residing in London, and in the remotest districts of the country, than a cen tury ago it was from 'many parts of our own county. At one time it was a common observation that, though the country at a short distance from Buxton, in any direc tion, was beautifully romantic, the town itself, and the scenes immediately around, had little interest, except in relation to the medicinal waters. But it was the busi ness of art to step in and complete what nature had left undone, and one is at length made to harmonise so ex quisitely with the other, that, whether he stay about the town, or ramble out, the visitor's eye is gladdened every where with something agreeable and cheering. If dis posed to a little exercise in retirement, there are wind ing wood walks close at hand ; or if the gaieties of the promenade should better please, lawns and terraces are equally at his service,—with the music of gentle waters to soothe him in the first, and the occasional strains of an excellent instrumental band to enliven him in the second • while every c om f or t may b e commanded within doors that the invalid could desire, or the fashionable loiterer require, to relieve the hours of dull weather when they happen to interfere with out-door diversions and excursions. We said excursions : and what glorious excursions may be made from B ux t on ! Wi th Speßcer Hall's new work " The Peak and the Plain," Rhodes's "Peak Scenery," or Adam's "Gem of the Peak,P for a companion —to Haddon or Chatsworth, Castle ton or Dovedale, and to all the beauties that abound in the neighbourhood of Bakewell or of Matlock— with a map full of sweet spots besides, that it would be as impossible as unnecessary now to particularise—the angler, the rambler, or the sketcher, might take his way at his leisure, on foot or with the aid of a car if he needed or preferred it, and fear no ill ; he might enjoy his fill of pleasure and return in the evening or the next day— the country having now a cheerful inn almost wherever one could be desired for the accommodation alike of the wayfarer or the sportsman who might wander too far for an early return. Thus it is, that what was once little more than a local benefit in the healing efficacy of the Buxton waters, has been made a national one bythe pro gress of the times, the improved modes of travelling, and the increased accommodations of every kind in the town itself ; and while the invalid is taking advantage of all these, the invalid's friends can be relieved of tedium and anxiety, either by residence or pop visits, as may best suit their c onven i ence ; so that ennui is about one of the last things that need be complained of, since so ciety or solitude, gravity or gaiety, may be as rapidly exchanged, one for the other, as the most versatile mind could wish, while every service and attention that could be desired is most assiduously rendered by the permanent residents. CRICKET. REGENT'S-PARK ALBERT CLUB v. THAMES DITTON. This match was played yesterday (Wednesday), on the ground attached to the Eton Hotel, Adelaide-road, Primrose-hill, and as regarded the first innings, was decidedly in favour of the denizens of Surrey, mainly owing to some very beautiful batting from Melbourne, who scored 41 off the bat. Payne, on the part of the Regents, did all that could be expected of him, but want ed some aid in the bowling department. The match was Ron by Thames Ditton in one innings, the score being as follows : —R egen t' s P ar k , 26 and 50 ; Thames Dit ton, first innings, 114. SOUTH DEVON v. EXMOUTH.

TORTURING A CAT.—A case of cruelty to a cat came on for hearing before a bench of magistrates at the Devonport Guildhall, on Wednesday last. Two parties were implicated, namely, a lieutenant in her Majesty's 35th Regiment, named Blyth, and a private in the same corps named Paul Lancaster. The case having been brought under the cognisance of the So ciety for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals, they immediately obtained a warrant against the defendants, and Mr. Rundle, of the firm of Beer and Rundle, solici tors to the society, appeared for the prosecution. From the evidence of a youth named Henry White, who was passing the barracks on the previous Wednesday morn ing at the moment the occurrence took place, it would ap pear that he saw two dogs attacking a cat at St. George's barracks, and the two defendants were looking on! and appeared exceedingly to enjoy the sport. Attur the dogs had nearly killed the cat, Lancaster took from his pocket a knife and ran it through the cat's hinder legs, and skinned it. Witness heard the defendant re mark whilst he was doing it that he never saw a thir g so hard to kill in all his life, After doing so the de fendant cut the cat's head off, and said he was going to take the carcase to the ferrets. A constable deposed that he found in a stable belonging to the barracks, in a box where there were ferrets, part of a cat skinned, and which the ferrets had been eating. Lieut. Blyth, in defence, said he was attracted in the direction of the cat and dogs, by hearing a great noise, but denied that he had urged the dogs to fight. The other defendant did not deny skinning the cat, but said he did not know who put the dogs to fight, The cat belonged to him. The • bench, after a short consultation, ordered Blyth to be • fined 40s, and Lancaster 3/., and the costs of the court, A GALA DAY AT BUXTON. (From the Derby Reporter.) Thursday last was a day long to be remembered by the inhabitants of Buxton and the surrounding neigh bourhood—the occasion being the annual custom of well dressing. The anniversary was celebrated with unusual spirit, and the whole proceedings passed' off most satis factorily. A visit to Buxton on this interesting occasion has served to impress us most favourably with a foreshadow ing of its future—and when it shall possess the advantage of easy access by railway, which tts improved position will entitle it to demand, it is not difficult to foresee what will be its progress. We entered it on a bright sunny evening from the direction of Derby, through the lovely valley of the Wye —and although not new to us, we were struck with the extraordinary beauty of the scenery. We found the inhabitants of Buxton busy with the necessary preparations for the fete, and the numerous visitors anticipating with feelings of delight the treat in store for them. The unsettled state of the weather for several days previous had caused some little anxiety in the breasts of many; but the sun's setting on Wednesday night gave ," The promise of a golden day to-Morrow." Before we narrate the proceedings of yesterday, we will indicate, as briefly. as possible, the in provornente that are in course of development under the direction of Sidney Smithers, Esq., agent to his grace the Duke of Devonihire, who has won golden opinions from all classes. The Crescent appears to have undergone very consi derable repair and embellishment, and the Terrace-walk and extensive lawns in front are in high keeping. The Hall Garden has been extended and greatly im proved. An ornamental piece of water has been formed, with a fountain supplied from the new water main, which plays to a height of about 50 feet. The adjoining rich meadows and the distant hill of "Griner," pictur esquely studded with cottages, have been opened to the view, adding great 'cheerfulness and beauty to this fa vourite place of promenade. Various specimens of wild fowl contribute by their aquatic manoeuvres on the pond to enliven the scene. The serpentine walks are yet in an unfinished state. Rustic bridges, rock work and water, are adding their effects to walks under foliage gracefully disposed, and it is not difficult to foresee how exceedingly attractive this part of the grounds will ulti mately become. The Park, which contains upwards of 100 acres, has been laid out after a design by Sir Joseph Paxton. It is approached by a handsome wide entrance just above the Church, and immediately opposite the Great Stables, from which point a fine view of the Park and of the surrounding hills is obtained. It was, until last year, subdivided into fields, the fences of which have all been cleared away—the land thoroughly drained to a depth of four feet—roads and ornamental plantations formed with a view to sites for villas, some of which are in course of erection. A piece, containing 20 acres, has been very recently fenced in near the entrance for the purpose of out-door amusements, cricket, archery, &c. In Corber Woods which clothe the hill-side above the town on the road to Manchester, some beautifully ro mantic walks have been laid out. By the natural formation of the ground, an opportunity was given to produce a varied effect within a limited space, and by the aid of skill and ingenuity the mos t has been made of it. Here, rhododendrons, with flowers, ferns, and foxgloves luxuriate in abundance. The higher walks command extensive views, while in the fore ground are seen the littl e d e lls which form the pretty feature of the Corber Walks. Land has been set out for building sites, called "The Quadrant," in front of the new hot baths, and three handsome shops and houses have been already erected. Every facility and encouragement, we are informed, is given by the duke's agent to parties proposing to erect houses of a suitable description • and when completed, "The Quadrant" will form one of many great improvements now happily in progress at Buxton. But after all, for utility and comfort combined, the new baths are the attractive a.ture.. In the Reporter, a short time since, we gave a description of the baths at the natural springs. They are now in full operation, and finished and fitted up in a style of elegance that must satisfy the most fastidious. The comfort of the invalid and the fancy of the luxurious have been alike consulted ; and in appearance, in cleanliness, and in systematic arrangement, ,even to the minutest detail, they are perfection. The wing containing the new hot baths is not quite completed : it is very extensive, and presents a magnificent front and side elevation. One por tion of it is, to be opened next week, before the whole of the wing is finished, in order to meet the increasing call for the baths—the old hot baths, which still remain, having become totally inadequate to supply the demand. Those who knew Buxton previous to the commence ment of the improvements, can little imagine the altered appearance of the place. The baths, the accommo dations, and everything about the place were behind the times, and it is remarkable that under such disadvan tages Buxton should have maintained its position. The fact speaks volumes' for the efficacy of the waters, and already has the better state of things attracted a vast influx of visitors seeking relief from their healing Powers. These improvements have been carried out upon a scale and in a manner so characteristic of the owner, his grace the Duke of Devonshire. Early yesterday morning the sound of hammers gave note of preparation ; and in various parts of the town men ardent in the work were busily engaged erecting triumphal arches, and decorating the wells. At the junction of the Bakewell and Fairfield roads two large triumphal arches, surmounted by coloured streamers, were placed. Passing along in the direction of the Crescent, flags and various floral devices attracted the eye, and there was a particularly neat little structure composed of evergreens and flowers at Winster Place. Triumphal arches, with the duke's crest worked in flowers, and surmounted by streamers, were erected at both approaches to the Crescent ; and one also at the corner leading to Upper Buxton. Gay flags and streamers, and triumphal arches were, in fact, to be seen in every direction ; and as the sun shone bright in the heaven, the whole scene was one of busy delight. The decorations at the two wells attracted many ob servers. The device at the well, situated in Higher Buxton (near to the excellent large Hotel kept by Mr. Wood), represented ancient ruins, the walls being formed of a variety of wild flowers intermixed with moss ; the pillars were done with different kinds of spar to repre sent granite, the caps, heads, and bases being worked in flowers. Various anim a l s ' were represente near the ruins, which had a background of fir trees, and in front a variety of jets played. The well in Spring Gardens was decorated with a scroll pattern, done in wild flowers ; both having been designed by Mr. Fanshaw, inlayer of marble. During the morning gaily-dressed p eop l e th ronged to Buxton by every inlet to the town, and at noon, when the Buxton and several other ba n d s from the neighbour hood commenced playing, some of the promenades and streets were densely thronged. Shortly after twelve his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, accompanied by Mr. H. Cavendish, Mr. Cunningham, and Mr. Condell, arrived, and was received by Mr. Smithers. His Grace alighted from his carriage at the gate leading to the Crescent, and immediately proceeded to Higher Buxton to see the decorations at the well, which, together with the one in Spring Gardens, he was instrumental in pro biding for the inhabitants. After viewing the floral de vices and mixing with the happy ,roultitude, the noble Duke inspected the Baths and Grounds, and visited the elegant show-room o f M r . S e li m Bright. A troop of boys and girls from an endowed school were then mar shalled in the Crescent and treated with buns, after which their tiny voices rang out "three times three cheers for the Duke of Devonshire." Hark ! the Buxton band approaches the Crescent, playing the Morris Dance. A moment or two, and then are seen two boys carrying a banner on which is inscribed "Long live the Duke ;" next comes the band with its enlivening tones, and then follows a most pleasing sight. A dozen little girls dressed in white, with blue sashes and straw hats, their little feet dancing the merry dance as they move along, and ever and anon waving gay gar lands over their heads. Onward they go towards a gaily-decorated pole in the centre, gracefully keeping time to the music, to the evident delight of several thousand spectators. At this time the scene was of the most animated and interesting kind. The windows of the Crescent were occupied with ladies and gentlemen, whilst immediately in front the slopes and terrace walks were literally covered with people. In the centre were the Morris Dancers, preparing to renew their gyrations, and above all--Duke and peasant alike— " The summer heaven's delicious blue." From the summit of the poll were suspended, twelve ribbons of various colours, each girl taking bold of one with one hand, and with the other a small coloured ban ner. The band played, and then there was a series of dances—the ribbons by the intricate movements being woven, as it were, round the poll with the greatest nicety, and presenting a diversity of most pleasing colours. His Grace witnessed the evolutions of the children with evident delight, and the dense body of spectators repeatedly testified their approbation by clap ping of hands. The girls left the Crescent dancing, preceded by the band, and then came th e boys, who were not so successful ; after which the several bands were heard playing the Morris Dance in every di rection, and Buxton presented one general scene of festivity. _ _ His Grace the Duke of Devonshire left Buxton for Chatsworth between four and five o'clock, after express ing the pleasure he had derived from his visit. At the time we were compelled to leave {about four o'clock) preparations were being made for the festivities of the evening, which would, no doubt, be as varied and cheerful in turn as those of the day. It was delightful to Fee how even decrepid invalids joined in the pleasures as they passed, and forgot, for the time at least, their pains ; and from what we saw indicated before we left SPORTL JGENCE.

The opening of the June meeting and the new stand-house was attended with great eel& to-day, his Excellency the Lord Lieu tenant, the Countess of St, Germans, and suite, with a very large assembly of nobility and gentry, being present. The weather was boisterous and wet, which threw a damp upon the proceedings. The new stand-house, which is not yet fully completed, was crowded in every part to excess ; but the harsh wind which prevailed ren dered its occupation rather disagreeable. The sport was of an average character, most of the events being won easily and by the favourites. We subjoin a brief return of the running : SCURRY STAKES, 5 sovs. each, 25 sovs. added.
