The sales amounted to 15,000 bales, of which 2,000 were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share , Market closed quietly, and the quotations were without any ma terial change. The Foreign and Colonial Produce Markets have ° l) clied with a fi rm a ppearance, and as the demand is a ctive, full rates are current for all the principal 4 call staples,including sugar and coffee. of 151. per share has been made on the shareh o ld ers i n the L on d on an d E a stern Banking cor poration. In April last estimates were formed of t he probabl e asse t s an d liabilities of this sadly da nanaged un d er t a king, and it was then repre sented that the ultimate loss would probably not ex ceed a few pounds per share in addition to the ca p i tal.

Under these ci rcumstances, being disappointed of the large mount which they expected, and funds being pisit j re e to answer immedi a te and pressing demands, e committee have no alternative but to require Shareh o ld ers t o _ pay u p on or before Tuesday, 15th of September next, the call of 151. per share t h aYal3l ° on the 24th April ultimo. T he amount of 1 3 call will •,in each case be written off t he pro ti.,-"°rY note of the shareholder who makes the - payment in reduction of the amount claimable from under his note." iaA meeting is now being held of the shareholders the Bank of Egypt.

THE MUTINY IN INDIA. ep- • MEETING IN THE CITY-(THIS DAY.) A public meeting was held to-day at the Mansion house, for the purpose of taking into consideration the welfare of our fellow-countrymen an 1 their families in India, and for devising means of affording immediate relief to those who are 'now suffering from the effects of the fearful calamity. _ _ . The Chair was taken at two o'clock by the Lord Mayor, who, on opening the proceedings, alluded to the circumstances that had lad to the present meeting, and said the present position of a large number of Eng lish families in India callad for the most energetic exertions and support of those who were placed in a position to afford them assistance. Several speakers having addressed the meeting, a resolution was proposed and passed unanimously to tLe effect that a subscription be immediately opened for the relief of the sufferers, and to assist all such as had been deprived of the means of retuning to this country by the late outbreak. A resolution was also agreed to appointing a committee to receive subscr:ptions. The proceedings terminated with the usual vote of thanks to the cloa'rrnan. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. (MEETING THIS DAY.) This afternoon a meeting of the shareholders and credi tors connected with the Royal Surrey Gardens was held in the Music-hall, on the grounds, to consider the pre sent pc sition of the undertaking, and to adopt such mea sures as might be deemed expedient in connection there v.ith. The meeting was called for two o'clock, but long before that hour the craditors and shareholders com menced assembling, and beguiled the time in earnest conversation and indulging in anxious hopes respecting the future. Mr. Coombe *as called to the chair. We shall give a full report of the proerelings in our late edition. FATAL SEWERS ACCIDENT. THREE LIVES LOST. A. shocking sewer's accident took place this morning about nine o'clock in Whitechapel-road, facing the en trance of the late Pavilion Theatre, which resulted in the death of three of the workmen, and injury to others. It appears that as each pipe is set it is necessary to place a board over the bore so that the dirt should not get into it as the labourers fill in the working. Fitzpatrick was in the act of removing the board so as to fit in the last portion of the pipe, when a rush of foul air from the main sewer came in fu'l power upon him, and the unfortunate man fell forward. Another man named George Franks, unconscious of what had really hap pened to his fellow-workman, descended the excavation, and on reaching the bottom immediately fell senseless to the ground. The cries of some boss brought other labourers, to the scene, and three more unfortunate fellowe, W ill;am Bingham, William Goodge, and au Irishman, named limes, hastened down to the bottom of the sewer, and were as quickly overcome by the poisonous air, and the five poor creatures were to be seen lying on the top of each other. Hooks were then procured, and the unhappy fellows were brought up to the surface. Fitzpatrick, Franks, and Bingham were found to be quite dead. Goodge and Hines were insensible ; they were removed to the Lon don Hospital, where, after some exertion, they were brought to, although they continue in a very critical state. Further openings were then made into the foul pipe, and everything done to clean it, but the work will not be resumed until fully examined by the sewers' en gineer. Two of the sufferers were married and have left families. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. ) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. MURDEROUS ASSAULT BY A JOURNEYMAN ON Bli EMPLOYER.—This day, Robert Deans, a journeyman tailor, was charged before Mr. Beadon with a most violent assault on Thomas O'Connor, No. 5, New Peter street, his employer. The complainant stated that about 5 o'clock yesterday afternoon he was crossing Pall-Mall. at the end of *St. James-street, when he saw the prisoner, who was formerly in his employment. He went into the shop of Messrs. Hobbart, Pall Mall, on business. When be came out he again saw the prisoner, who observed that he wouli murder him (complainant). He went away from the prisoner, who observed, " I will murder you if you do not give me some money." lie had been previously informed by some parties at a public house, where the prisoner had been, that he remarked to them that he woul I pay him out, meaniug complainant..' He subset:Fleetly mot the pri soner in Metcourt-street, but had previously seen him in Ryder-court. Then he exclaimed, " Why, are you not going to give M 3 some money ?" Complainant made no reply, upon which he laid boll of complainant by his throat ; he grasped complainant stio tight that he thought he should save been strangled. He then knocked him down and fell upon him, and became nearly insensible. [rhe complainant's shirt in the front was covered with blood, and there was a patch of adhesive plaster on the right side of his head.] Event, C, Sergeant,.N 2, said that he saw the com. plainant on the ground, and he way repeatedly knocked on the kerb by the prisoner. Witness took the prisoner away, and the complainant was conveyed to the hospital, where the surgeon was almost inclined to keep him. The prisoner was fined 51., or 2 months' in default of payment. DARING BURGLARY AT THE ROSE AND CROWN, RUPERT STREET.—David Evans, John L. Draper alias Raper, and James M`Carthy, young men, were charged with the following daring attempt at burglary at the Rose and Crown, Rupert-street, Haymarket. Mr. Austin, junr., attended for Draper. . _ . . It appeared from the evidence that at about two ' o'clock that morning inspector Park of the C Division received information which led him to go to the Rose and Crown, in which he was told these were tome per sons. While in the street three men came out of an empty house adjoining. Thera were some other constables at the door. Evans was seized hold of by Savage, 13G, F. The other two ran away. Draper was pursued by Mr. Park who was not able to overtake him. Savage want afterwards to a house in Monmouth court where he found Draper and M Carthey. lie told them what he wanted theta for and took Draper into custody. M'Carthey went down stairs and was about to run away, but was stopped at the door by two police-constables. Savage found two latch-keys on Draper, and two other keys were found on M'Carthy. They were conveyed , to the station-house. Savage further stated that he had, in the course of the previous evening, seen the whole of the prisoners together in Moor-street ; and the landlord of the Rose and Crown proved that two of them were drinking in his taproom before 12 o'clock last night, where they were above an hour. An alibi was endeavoured to be proved in the cross-examination by Mr. Justin, but his identity, as well as that of the other prisoners, was deposed to by several witnesses. Sergeant Thomas, F Division, said that Evans and ' IVl‘Carthy were well known to the police ; and another constable stated that Draper and Evans were the assn. elates of thieves. Mr. Austin applied for bail for Draper, who, he saic:, was respectably connected. This was refused, and they were s.verally remanded for a week. THE INDIAN MUTINIES. Tho following is a letter from Lieutenant It. G. Armstrong, late of the 17th Bengal Navice In fantry : ALLAH A BAD, JUNE 28. " I received two letters from you and a couple of .newspapers shortly after I had been at Benares. I was then doing .duty at the barracks, when one morning I . was told that I should have to proceed ou sp..cial duty that afternam with a detachment of the 84th Queen's When the order came out I was then ordered to accompany a detachment of that regiment towards this place, io assist in communicating with the natives, and procur ing -supplies f the men ;iu fact was interpreter and quartermaster to the force. Well, in due time we reached Allababad, when yesterday I was ordered to attend at the fort. here and report mys !if and-receive further orders, as my duties as interpreter Were now comple . e I, and I am glad to say I have since heard thlt my services on the road have been spoken of most highly to the officer com• manding the 84th he:e. Well, when I got to the fort I was ordered t.) do duty with the Sikh regi ment of Ferozepore here, which I have since joined, and, as the country is now all round in a most unsettled state, I trust I may some day make my name known by gallantry in the field, and at the first vacancy may perhaps hold the appoint ment of adjutant in the corps, which will be my first step on staff employ. Sorry I am, indeed, that I have not been able to pass in the languages, and still more hard is it that all chance of pass ing is now closed to me, for the whole of India is in s in such a disturbed state that for a time all that sort of thing is knocked on the head, for every one no.v has just enought to do to take care of his own life. The circumstances of the mutiny here have been the most disgraceful yet heard of, and, as it may be interesting to ycu, I will give you a short account of it. The Gth Regiment Native In fantry were•statiouecl here, and when corps were breaking out in all ditections this regiment volun teered their services to advance against the King of Delhi and his mutineers. For this, they were thanked, and told that their servicos would be ac cepted at the first opportunity. This took place in the morning. On the evening of the same doy, while all the officers were at mess ; the alarm bule of the regiment was sounded ; these poor fellows, thinking it was a disturbance among the villagers, rushed out at the door. The first I the reg s r e e e t on t d o s w a a y s w sl a io s t:d g o r w e snt, frienda nd thoef mine,second, re n N e v i h v o e , d bullet, and fell dead on the spo'. They were all knocked over by their own men, and only three officers out of the whole regitnent escaped. Every house in the station, with the exception of one or two, has been burnt to the ground, and when we marched on the other morning we saw Allahabad in ruins. Two days after I arrived I went with a couple of Queen's officals to seethe bungalows, and I must say I never witnessed anything like it be fore ; every single thing was destroyed, every pane of glass smashed, even the cauvass that goes over the punkah was torn into shreds. Such a wilful destruction of property I never witnessed. A. large quantity of things was found in a village close by. They were all secured, and two days ago the place was burnt by ns to the ground. This is certainly, and will, from all appearance be a tedious campaign • for, besides the straits wo are reduced to, the bad weather is setting in —viz., the rains. lam regularly rationed like a common soldier, get a loaf of bread, a pint of beer, a little sugar and milk, and a small piece of mutton, be sides tea twice a day, spirits and beer only once, as also the mutton, for tea is given out at night, but, as several of us have been living together, we have managed to get on very fairly. Oude is now the head quarters of the rebels. Every single regiment has mutinied, and the country will have to be taken a second time, but this time by force of arms. The bi ave Sir Harry Lawrence has manfully de fended the residence against the insurgents, but if assistance is not rendered him, and the people who have taken refuge within its walls, amounting to several hundteds,• they will be all starved out, for from the last accounts they have been obliged to feed on grain and sugar. They have next to nothing to cook it with, and no pots of any sort to cook it in, • It is reported that a de tachment of the alth, the Queen's, who went over there- from Cawnpora the other day, lave been cut down to a Man, but this has not been confirmed. There are thousands upon 'thousands of natives assembled there, and assistance will have to come quickly, or not an European will be saved. There is a force of 500 Europeans and a detachmtnt of my present corp s g oin g over to CAWO pore most likely on TuEsday morning, and most likely I shall go with them ; at least, I hope and trust it may be my good luck to be able to. These are stirring times. They a re han g in g men up at Benares and here, besides sev eral other stations, six, seven, and eight a day. Missionaries in this country have carried matters too far, and nothing in this country is a native so tenacious of as having his religion meddled with. Education has also been carri'd too far. Educate a native and he becomes a thorough-paced scoundi el. These aro the opinions of men who are capable of giving them." DETERMINED SUICIDE AT BLACKFRIAIIS-BEIDGE.— Yesterday morning, between three and four o'clock, a man of respec'able appearanCe suddenly mounted the parapet of one of the rcesses of Blackfriara bridge, plunged headlong into the river, and wa' drowned. - ' At the meeting of the Oriental Inland Steam Company (imited) held yesterday, the terms granted by the East India Company were submitted and were considered highly satisfactory, being equivalent to a guarantee of 10 per cent. It was also the general feeling that the existing circumstances of India and the prospects of the supply of cotton alike demand the immediate introduc tion of an efficient and extensive system of steam navi gatian upon the rivers such as this company contem plates. Mr. Wood, forine'ly of the Indian navy, has accepted the office of the company's superintendent in At a meeting of the. Geelong and Ballarat Railwry Company yesterday, it was resolved to wind up the company. The State of Indiana offers "90 cents, on the dollar, and the interest accrued," for any amount of Indiana Five per Cent. Bands, issued for banking purposes, and fa'ling due in eight years, up to the amount of 80,0001 The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa says :—" The seizure of a quantity of arms at Naples, on board two Neapolitan steamers is confirmed. The police had previous received secret information on the subject from the Austrian police. It is also stated that a small band of about 15 men, the survivors of the Spazi expediticn, are still wandering aboui in the mouLta'ns of Calabria." A telegraphic despatch from the French consul at Cadiz announces the arrival there, on the 15th inst. of the English fleet, under the command of Admiral Lyons, whose flag was flying on board the Royal Albert. Telegraphic despatches from Constantinople an nounce the receipt, by the British and Austrian Ambvsad9rs, of the fresh instructions from their respective Government, by Which they are ordered to demand of the Port?, conjointly with the repre sentatives of the other four Powers, that the Moldavian election should lie annulled. It is added that, before obeying these orders, the two Ambassadors thought it their duty to make a fresh representation to their Courts. There appears not the least doubt of the satisfactory arrangement of the affair, the Sultan having declared his willing ness to conform to the decision of the six Powers so soon as that should be unanimous. It seems pre'ty certain that ICaprisli Pacha will be Vizier. This bias is decidedly French. The French Go vernment's latest instructions to M. Thouvenel are to be as conciliatory as, possible in his manner • of transacting business, and carefully to spare the susceptibilities of Lord Stratfor l and Baron Proke6ch. SO UTHWARK. - - POT STEALING.—Sarah Hales was charged by Mr. William Barton, the proprietor of the White Swan, Blackfriars-road, with stealing a pint pewter pot, his property. The prosecutor stated that he had suspected the prisoner of pot stealing during the last nine months, and the previous night he was sent for to attend the sta tion when he saw the prisoner and the pint pot produced which he identified as his property. Mr. Matthew Grogan, of 18, York-street, a licensed victualler said that be was present and bear d the prisoner call for half a pint of porter, when she took the mea-ure outside the house, and after drinking the contents was in the act of walking off with the measure concealed under her arm. He ran afta her and stopped her, and found the pot, in her possession. The prisoner made a most ingenious defence, she assertinethat sha thought it was her own measure; but the magistrate could clearly see that the prisoner was an adept at the work, and sentenced her to two months imprisonment with hard labour. EXIIIRITfON OF ART TREASURES.—The attendance has improved upon two days of the week very materially, and these aro Mondays and Saturdays. On Saturday la t this improvement was mainly owing to the reduction of fees to 61. each after 2 o'clock. Up to that hour 3,126 persons entered at ls., each, and afterwards 16,275 entered at 6d. each, by far the largest atteudanumb nce y et et recorded. Yesterday there was again a large of ls. visitors, the excursion trains from var i o us place! bringing great numbers of people oa Mondays. This will probably be the caste for some time to come, as the country town and village feasts and wakei throughout the manufacturing districts have now commenced. These annual celebrations almost invariably commence on the Sunday, and Monday therefore is an eligible day for exc ursion trains, when business being almost suspended those who wish to escape such scenes of rude rejoicing and confusion, can well spare a day for a trip to the Exhibition. JUDGE LYNCH IN KANSAS. Mr. Andrew Stewart, editor of,the Steubenville (Ohio) Union, who has lately been travelling through Kansa s territory, arrived at this place on Monday evening , having left Leavenworth city on Saturday night, the let inst., and favoured us with particulars of a fearful tra gedy enacted on Friday night and Saturday morning it; that city. On Friday night, the 31st ult., a man named Stephens, living in Kansas city, came up to Leaven worth city, and, while epreeing around, went into a drinking shop called the Ward House. The barkeeper, named Baines, became very friendly, and after gettini Stephens quite drunk proposed a walk up the river, and took him to a spring on the bank if the Missouri river, just above the Planter's House, where they were met and assaulted by two men, who demanded their money or their lives. The barkeeper, Baines, gave his money up and ran off. When he got te the lower end of the town he gave the alarm that a man was being robbed up the river at the spring. Several parties of citiz-ns immediately went up, and arrived on the spot just in time to find poor Stephens crawling out of the river, his body and head all beaten and bruised with stones and clubs, and his chest and shoulders bearing several stabs and cuts. The cit z. n ran to his assistance, but the unfortunate victim, though struggling to speak, was too for gone, and presently died, without being able to utter e single word about the manner of his death or the names of his murderers. Su-TIC - ion at once alighted upon the bar-keeper Baines, and so outraged were thepeople, and so violent the presumptions of his guilt, that a posse of the citizens ateeneo arrested and 11(11 him in close cus tody. The news in the meantime spread like wil ifire alt over the city, and the excitement grew intense. An im mediate trial of Baines was demanded, and finally it wa agreed he should be hung on the spot, without ju ig< or jury. A rope was procured and put round his neck, and already he was being drawn up to the limb of an overhanging tree, when he expressed a wish to make a confession. The crowd yielded and let him down to the ground. He said that he and two men, one named John Quarles, from South Carolina, and the other called Knowlton, had laid the plot by which Stephens was robbed and murdered, and that the came men had murdered another man a short time before and thrown the body into the Missouri river. He stated also that he and the men Knowlton and Quarles belonged to an organised body of about 25 men, who lived and carried on the business of robbing and murdering in Leavenworth-city, on the island opposite the_city, and in the towns of Lawrence and Topeka. He then gave the names of as many of the gang as he coup] remember i,o the authorities. As soon as Baines had finished his revelations he was committed to the calaboose, a one story stone building about 16 feet square. The crowd then went off in pursuit of Charles and Knowlton, and in a short time had them arrested. Among the revealed conspirators was Wm. Woods, the proprietor of the greater part of Deavenworth Ilend, and regarded by his acquaintances as an houe.t man and good citizen. A party proceeded at once to arrest him, and, after making a thorough search of his house, found 2,500 dole.' m counterfeit money, a lot of counterfeiting plates and other instruments, and a knife and pistol belonging to the murdered man, Stephens. At these conclu.ive proofs of the correctness of the confessions of Baines the people were deeply moved, and held counsel together i'i large and small parties ;during the whole night. We give the narrative of gr. Stewart. He says,— " I went to the mayor's office on Saturday morning, and found an immense crowd awaiting the result of the examination of Woods and Knowlton. Baines aed Quarles were in the calabeose. While the examination was going on Judge Lecompte was eut,ide making a speech, and expostulating with the angry crowd in favour of law and order. The cry of ' Hang 'em, the murderers arose frequently from the mob, but milder counsele seemed to be prevailing, when at once some one shouted, To the calaboose ! to the calaboose !' an i away a crow! of about 50 maddened men started in that direction. The balance cf the people followed after in stealer parties, leaving Judge Lecompte almost alone, and the mayor's effice relieved of its throng of specta tors. They had teen gone about 15 minutes, when 1 heard a great yell. I started atter the crowd, and followed it to the bank of a creek which divides south and north Leavenworth, where there was a steep bank, and on its edge a large den tree. I reached the spot in time to see Q lades suspended from the tree, grasping in the agonies of death at the rope which was around his neck, while several of the mob were swinging on to his arms and legs, to make h;s death sure. His body had hardly ceased its convulsions when the shout was ,raised for Baines. The rope was placed around his neck, and he was led to the edge of the bank, when some one of the citizens appeared by his side, and, with a watch in his hand, demanded five minutes for further confessions. They granted it, when Baines said, if they would let him he would show them another man in town who was concerned in the opera tions of the gang. He was then taken to the calaboose, but for some reason did not give satisfaction to the people, and they demanded his body to be returned to them. Judge Lecompte again addressed the people, and with some effect, for they seemed to divide into two parties, the one clamouring for the banging of the pri soner, and the others demanding a trial for him. Marshal Denis, of the Territory, was also present, and though he exerted himself with all his power, he could not maintain, his position at the door of the calaboose, nor prevail on the crowd to disperse. The wife of Baines, also, ap I peered, and, in'pired by the dangerous situation of her husband, took a heroic stand on the entrance, and en deavoured by frantic threats and entreatieseto stay the wrath of the p pulace. But all efforts were unavailing; the peace party were overpowered. Judge Lecompte's voice was drowned by the shrieks of the mob. A large piece of hewn timber, perhaps 25 feet long and one foot square, that was lying near, was lifted up by a crowd of men, and plunged with fearful effect against the cala boose door. The sight of the wife's distress and the sound of her screams, mingled with the ra g ings and shrieks of the infuriated mob, wore t oo muc h for me, and I turned my back and walked away. I heard an other blow from the piece of timber and a simultaneous shout from the crowd, which told me that the door had given way and the prisoner was at the mercy of the people. I walked hastily around the square, for with all its terror there was a fascination in the sight, and reached the spot just in titne to see the mob rushing down the street with the prisoner towards the creek and the elm tree. I pursued, and when I reached the spot the bodyof Baines was already in the air, and his last death struggles were shivering along his limbs. The crowd then appeared to be satisfied. Woods and Knowlton meanwhile had been placed in an omnibus and hur ried off to fort. The city continued very much ex cited up to the hour I left, but no further violence was anticipated. All sorts of stories prevailed, and many of the , mysterious disappearances and rob beries which have occurred in the territory are all being referred to this band of murderers." Two or more O 1 the gang have since been apprehended and executed. Missouri Democrat. MARKET DEWS. (This Day.) HAY MARKETS.

(F'om the Times.) The all-important controversy which, at this crisis of England's fortunes, has been agitating and al most engrossing successively both Souses of Parlia m. nt for a quarter of a year, rcturned to its origi nal battlefield in the Lords last night. The ques ►ion was the adoption of a certain number c.f amendments which have teen amply discussed in the Commons, many of them previouslyin the Lords, we take the liberty to add, out of doors also. f he3e amendment., though running in'o a conside rable number of clauses from the verbal alterations entailed, are yet reducible into a few distinct and particular alterations. Not only have they been settled in an everting, but, as appears by the sequel, here was not a Peer who had not already arrived at a decided judgment upon them. However, this is not the way in which religious'and conscientious noblemen, professing a monopoly of high feelings and sound principles, undertake the c :use of tru!li, morality, religion, and Heaven. These things, it appears, are not streng enough to stand on their own ground, or to make way ou their own merits. Truth can only be advanced under false pretence's, the behests of Omnipotence can only be smuggled into this vulgar realm, and common sense wrigolyd in some indirect way into,an Englishman's under standing. Accordingly the lights of the Briti h nobility, to whom we are to look for the preserva tion of our faith and our morals, set about ing the Divorce Bill with the aitific;s more usually observed in the witness Lox, when suspicious -look mg personages ale wardingcff too curious inquiries into their proceedings. They had not time, they said, to consider the amendments of the Commons. They must not be hurried in so serious a matter. The sincerity of this objection was proved by the deliberate occupation of two hours before the de bate in a mere wrangle as to the persons most to blame for a previous wrangle on Friday last. When this was over, instead of then proceeding to a quiet examination of each amendment with a view to economise the hours said to be numbered, there ensued a vehement res 7 stance to the discussion of the amendments at all this year, on the ground that if they were abused long enough collectively there would not be time left for taking them one by one. The Lords, it was said, knew nothing about them, as was subsequeully proved by a clos3 scrutiny of their merits and an evident decision upon them. Now, all this we ex pect in some places, on s , me subj'cts, and from some persons. Iu the profane politics of the world it is common enough for second-rate politicians, not the first class, to make it their object to damage, to obstruct, and to disable. They kill time and drive business into a corner to get something out of the confusion. But this sacrifice of time said to be much needed, and this confusion so pathetically deplored, were in this 'case the work of noblemen, the lights of their.age • of men who deplore th e de cay of manners, the blight of faith, the neglect of high principles, and the dishonour of religion, and who have an unfailing stock of solemn tones and _ _ pious grimaces at command fir the abuse of this journal. Of course, every speech that was made in favour of more time did in fact consume it, and, had their lordships not made up their minds already, might have prevented them from doing so. When half the evening Lad been lost in this way, and Lord Redesdale's motion for throwing the bill into the next year had been defeated, their lord ships proceeded, at last, with diminished time and strength, to the several amendments of the Lower blouse. They now quickly showed themselves quite equal to the work, though it is possible they might have done better if they had begun a few hours earlier. The jurisdiction given by the Commons to the Quarter Sessions has been rejected without a division ; so on this point they have not re quired a twelvemonth to make up their minds. It mint be admitted that the Lords are gOod judges as to the capacity of Quarter Sessions for this purpose. The plea for a divorce by a wife against the husband on the ground of " adultery com mitted in the conjugal residence" bas been re jected chiefly on account of the looseness of the phraseology. No doubt, many . acts might come equally under this legal description and yet be of very Unequal guilt, according to the circumstances, the del;beration, and the habit. The other pleas of the wife against the husband have been retained. The words destroying the case of the husband against the wife, on pima of adultery at any time committed by himself, struck out by the commons, have been reinserted by a small majority. We ate disposed to think the Commons will stand out for this omission, as it certainly is not according to common sense and common feeling that a man should be tied all his days to an intolerably bad wife, in consequence of some tingle and long-past act of infidelity. It may be very proper in the Bishop of Oxford to take this way of inculcating upon men that they are as much bound to the moral law as women, but other con , ithrations come in, and we question whether there is a bishop in Chrii tendons', or has been for centuries, who would re fuse to sit down in the company of a gentleman who had been once unfaithful to his marriage vuw ; while there are few bishops in these days, at least in thiscountry, who would not object to this degree of familiarity with a woman so guilty. It is a point, we conceive, in which the law must conform to the feeling, and otherwise will so far become a dead letter. T amendment damages — one which f t s h e e e m g e r d e a t to b restore lots o the action he for existing practice—was warmly debated, and on a division, in which proxies were used, was retained. The obstacle to the entire abandonment of the action for damages is the notorious fact that the wife's fortune has been sometimes the chicf attrac tion in the eyes of the adulterer, and without some cheek or other might become so even more than now. Moreover, the c )mmonest sense of justice will hardly endure to see the guilty enriched by their crime at the expense of the injured, including, perhaps, helpless children. The species of action instituted by the Commons' amendment, and the half civil, half criminal character of the damages, may give rise to difficulties requiring fresh legisla latiou ; but that does not impair the principle of preventing, if possible, the guilty from obtaining a mercenary profit ou their guilt, and saving the innocent from ruin, in addition to misery and dis- honour. The next discussion arose on the concession made in the Commons to the feelings of those clergymen who, for one reason or another, do not wish t be obliged to perform the marriage for those who have been divorced. For our part, we think the conces sion a weakness. There are, however, very few clergy who, after the consideration forced upon them during the progress of this measure, are pre pared to maintain that marriage is indissoluble. They mere:y allege, as the Bishop of London very truly states, the disagreeableness of reading the ser vice for persons comparatively unworthy of it. This is a natural and honourable repugnance, but it is not one that the Legislature need take bal.° account, as unworthiness is only a question of degree. We are aware that some half-dozen zealots have shut their ears to reasoning and their eyes to the Bible, and maintain that no crime, no form of law, can dissolve the mysterious marriage tic. But they have been generally repudiated, even by the 9,000 sul - scribers of the Declaration. It is, then, only a matter of feeling. Well, the clergy are to be allowed the indulgence. But the Lords in allowing it have not also given them the power of closing their churches, in which they have but a very subor dinate authority. They may rt fuse to perform the service and absent themselves, but the churches will still be open for the performance of the service and the obtaining of a blessing' for those who, having sinned, now to do the best that is pos-ible under their unhappy repent,. and wish man and wife. This amendment , then, was left: live together as Chnstiau circumstances —that is, untouched. So also were the rema enendvier, la d thus far the bill has fp:cape(' its threat per T H E td rioRNI s a FISHERIES.—The drift boats at have been taking during the past week from 000 pilchards per boat.
