The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with some animation, at fully Friday's prices. The sales were estimated at 10,000 bales, about one-half of which were taken for export, and on specula tion. The Railway Share Market was quiet, at a slight improvement in prices. The South Carolina, from Australia, announced this morning, brings 20,493 ounces, and the Kent, which has arrived in 74 days from the same place, is in the Downs with 62,221 ounces, making a total supply of 330,8561. The Frances Henty, which has already been out 80 days, has 24,700 ounces on board, the Roxburgh Castle, 63 days, with 30,200 ozs., and the Champion of the Seas, 65 days, with 32,800 ounces. These may therefore be ex pected during the next two or three weeks. The Tudor, and one or two other ships, are &so en rout e , but will not be due until a later period. A slight diminution is now visible in the de mands upon the supply of capital in the Discount Market, but up to the present moment it is not sufficient to afford encouragement to those who confidently expect' an early decline in the official rate. For the moment indications rather favour the presumption that some relief may ensue ; but even the most experienced are baffled in their cal culations by the peculiar position of affairs, and the numerous influences which now govern them. One satisfactory symptom is the entire absence of specu lation of any kind and in every department ; and while this caution is observed there is a prospect of Come beneficial change—especially, also, as trade, both in London and the manufacturing districts of the North of England, is contracted. Assistance will also be - given by the influx of gold, the principal drawback being the drain to India and China ; hot this will only absorb a portion of the amount we rneive from Mexico, America, Australia, &c., and if no taw drain takes place, we may expect a steady accumulation in the Bank's stock of bullion. The last return issued by the directors e xhibited in creased strength on the part of the establishment, and as a small quantity of the late specie arrivals has been sold to the administration, and further sums may go in, a steady improvement, which may ultimately enable them to modify the existing dis count regulations, is very probable. Last week the imports of the precious metals :mounted to about 1,700,0001., and the exports, as far as at present ascertained, nearly 1,000,0001. The steamer Asia has arrived from the United States with 1,427,220 dollars on boaad, valued at 285,444/. The annual meeting of the Bank of Australasia bas just been held. Mr. Henderson took the chair •nd congratulated the proprietors on the success of the past year's operations. The report which was read, stated that the profits of the Year 1856 amounted to 181,1101. Os. 6d. The balance to the credit of profit and loss in October Was 201,7771. 17s. 5d., out of which there has been Paid the April dividend and bonus for the current Year of 90,0001. It was stated that the colonies were still overstocked, and 'that the high price of gold had acted unfavourably on the exchanges. A dividend of 6 per cent. per annum NS as declared, and a bonus at the rate of 14 per cent. per annum, making 20 per cent. together. Notwithstanding the large imports of specie, the Englsh Funds exhibit no symptoms of buoyancy, the absence of purchasers and the statements made regarding a conspiracy in the Indian army having produced some flatness. The market does not derive any support from bona fide pur chases, and, as the Transfer Books close to morrow, business if possible will become even quieter than at present. Consols have been 93i 94 and 93i 94 'for money, while for account transactions are re corded at 9411 1. The New 3 per Cents. are 92 mw. the Reduced, 92i Bank Stock is 212. The March Exchequer Bills are 2s. dis., and the Bonds 9 81. As the bills " advertised" to be paid off or re hewed to-day have been at a discount of 78. to 25., it is presumed that a large amount will have to be reimbursed. The operations in the Foreign market have not extended to half-a-dozen securities, and the prices have undergone no change of importance. Turkish 6 per Cents., are about 94/ 1. Russian 5 per Cents. I.oBi. Ditto 41 per Cents. 97k., and Venezuela 4 i per Cents. 351 to 36.

PLymount, June 6.—Last night another fall occurred at the new Roman Catholic Cathedral. happily without injury to any one. The remainder of the transverse arch of the transept gave way first, and was followed by the eastern arch, which brought down the roof o f the tranFept and all the roof of the chancel except the small portion of the apsis, or semi-octagon, at the eastern end u, of the cathedral. The circular pillars which supported the ; roof of the chancel, and which retain their position, ap pear to be firmer than the octagonal pillars in the nave, ( four of which gave way at the first accident on Wednes 11 - day, when the nave roof fell in. REPORTED DISCOVERY OP COAL IN SCINDE.—OIIf 1 East Indian intelligence contains a statement of great importance. Two seams of coal, both at a moderate depth, had been discovered in Scinde. The locality is nearer to the sea than that of any coal hitherto found in India. In any case it will be valuable, as. wood is rapidly disappearing. But if found suitable for steam purposes the results will be highly important to India, and advantageous to the mother country ; for manufac tures will soon spring up, and railroads will be made, and an extensive commerce will be created. OPEN-AIR PREACHING.—Between 30 and 40 clergy. men and Dissenting ministers of Bristol have arranged to carry out a series of out-door services during the summer months. Yesterday afternoon, the Rev. D. Cooper Preached on Brandon bill, the Rev. N. Ilaycroft at the Circus, the Rev. B. Nicholson at Broad-plain, and the Rev. F. W. Gotch at Bedminster, and in the evening the Rev. M. Bro - A, incumbent of Christchurch was an nounced to preach on Clifton•down. SHARE MARKETS—(Tids Day.) RAILWAYS. 1 raid 1 RAILWAY/. 10 I Ambg. Nottng. Bost. East'. all Belfast & Ballymena all Birmng.

ARISTOCRATIC ASCOT. 93 - 93 Only moderate supplies of English wheat were on sale in the provincial markets held on Saturday. The trade, however, was in a sluggish state, at barely stationary prices. Barley and all other grain were quite as dear as in the previous week, but flour ruled heavy. The continental markets continue steady for most kinds of produce and prices generally are supported, Only limited supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. From abroad, the imports were large, viz., 45,013 quarters of wheat ; 14,741 barley, 70,147 oats, 373 rye, 515 beans, 2,432 peas, 183 tares, 4,821 linseed, 7,830 rapeseed, 10 sundry seeds, 75 sacks 1,941 barrels of flour. The gorgeous realities of Ascot will quickly diminish the few remaining shadows of the Epsom events. Already has the Blink Bonny victory ceased to be talked about with that wonderment which was at first excited, and people now regard her performances at Newmarket and at Epsom—strangely different as they were—as a matter of course, and deem the " damnable hints and diabolical inuendos" which the mare's running has ex cited with an indifference which shows that all minds have been made up on the subject. If Blink Bonny's successes have caused certain members of the ring to be temporarily "knocked out," they have restored others to their proper position. Some strange winners are, however, reported, and amongst them persons are men tioned who perhaps never, prior to the past Derby, made half-a-dozen bets in their life. Yorkshire to a man stood " the mare," and Blink Bonny's popularity is likely to eclipse that of Beeswing, Alice Hawthorn, and Nancy. By the way, the last-mentioned mate reminds me that Mr. Martinson, her sometime owner, is amongst the fortunate partizans of Blink Bonny. I shall not refer now to the principal winners, because men have an objection to see themselves gibbetted in print as " fortunate youths," and to state the indiscreet class of bettors would now,perhaps, be causing unnecessary pain where pain enough has been inflicted. All things connected with the Epsom Meeting must sound to turfiten ii - 13 .31 - 133 3; - 41 ... ••• Lo 6 108 i2+ -12 i 222 -23 t 104 - 106 - 21 - 21 88 - 90 The quantity of English wheat received fresh up, to-day, coast wise and by land carriage, was limited ; yet, as seve ral parcels were on show, left over from last week, the number of samples was by no means small. Owing to the prevailing fine weather for the growing crops, and the large influx of foreign produce, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was rather inactive; yet last Monday's prices were supported. id i 54 —56 P -.- -- 131 - 133 7} - 8 i 9 - 9 4 ... -. 31i -32 i 87 - 89 We wero very extensively supplied with foreign wheat, even the finest qualities met a dull inquiry ; but, fromithe small amount of business doing, no actual change took place in the quotations. The few floating cargoes on offer commanded full prices. Thera was a full average show of barley, yet all kinds were in good request, and late rates were well supported. Malt—though in but moderate supply—moved off slowly, at last week's currency. There was a large show of foreign oats, yet the transac tions wore extensive at full quotations. .For beans there was a good demand at fully late rates. The supply was very limited. As tedious as a twice told tale To the dull ears of a drowsy man. I shall, therefore, without ceremony, drop the subject, and proceed to fresh fields and pastures new, by discur sing•the probabilities for Ascot. The recent rain has produced a most beneficial effect on the course, albeit its continuance for a few hours longer would be desirable. Certainly those horses that like to hear the clatter of their hoofs will be well served at Ascot. On Satur day last I walked right over the course, and although the herbage was here and there somewhat thick, yet so far as the condition of the ground was concerned, I might just as well have been walking from Temple-bar to St. Paul's. Pitapat, Lord Raglan, Flacrow, and Rosa Bon heur were the only animals that I saw " out," and they went bowling along over the hard ground not exactly as if they liked it. Flacrow came into posession of Lord Londesborough during the late Newmarket meet ings, and I mention this fact simply from the opportunity which it gives me of stating the " ac quisitions" of another nobleman. Lord W. Powlett is increasing his stud. I think it was a Marquis of Westminster who said that he would never enter a valuable animal for a handicap race, to run the 'risk of being beaten by a beast scarcely worth a saddle and bridle. Lord W. Pewlett seems to be of the same opinion, for he has "agitated " sufficiently to induce the jockey club to establish more weight for age races, and I presume he has purchased Cedric, Saraband, and Mar tinet, in the hope of carrying off events of that We had a steady male for peas at extreme rates. The flour trivia ruled dull, and the quotations were barely supported. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE. Wheat—Essex it Kent.

I shall limit my "notes "to the principal events. Speculation on the Ascot Stakes has not been very brisk. Wink field and Cerva have commanded most attention. The former is sure to run well, because he is fresh and " used to the ground." Cerva would like plenty of dirt to get through, and is not, I fancy, capable of sustaining a steady racing pace over bard ground. Although "the money" tempts me, yet I am compelled to with hold confidence from the two animals mentioned, and *hall pin my faith to RaDEMPTION and Cnow, both of whom have performed respectably enough to warrant a favourable consideration of their pretensions. Everybody seems to think that Sydney ought to win the Ascot Derby, but I do not fancy he has more chance for that event than for the Epsom Derby, and shall be much surprised if he be not beaten by both Turbit and Chevalier d'lndostrie. The Gold Vase I assign to Strathnaver ; I scarcely know what to select for the Hunt Cup, and I fancy the seeking of a needle in a bottle of hay would be about as easy a task as picking out the winner. From the top weights I shall select Flacrow and Polmoodie, and from the middle weights, Jesuit, Good Friday, and Bel Esperanza ; I do not fancy one of the light weights. Zaidee will win the Fernhill Stakes if she run ; Aya canora will carry off the Coronation Stakes, and Gamma di Vergy the Windsor Castle Stakes. The Queen has signified her intention of being present on Thursday. On Wednesday I will express my opinion at length on the probabilities for the Cup ; at present I shall content myself with being " out of the fashion," and stating that on paper I see nothing to beat ROGER THORPE and ADAHAS.

From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts considerably on the increase, and in prime condition ; in deed, this was by far the best supply shown during the present year. Although the attendance of butchers was tolerably extensive, the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of folly 2d per Sibs. The general top figure for beef was 4s 8d ; but the very primest Scots realised 4s 10d per•Blbs. • The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire were 2,500 Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England, 300 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 220 Scots ; and from Ireland, , 10 oxen. We were seasonably well supplied with all breeds of sheep--though weight and condition of which were prime, and the mutton trade was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, no change took pace. The best old Downs sold at 5s per 81bs. Lambs were in moderate supply, and fair request, at last week's prices, viz., 5s 8d to tis 8d per 81bs. We were fairly supplied with calves, which moved off slowly, at a decline in valve of 4d per 81bs. The highest quotation was 5s 2d per 816 s. The show of pigs was limited, and the pork trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary prices. Per Bibs to sink the offal.. s. d. S. 4.1 e. d. s 0.

Mr. Simpson plays for a high stake ; he tries to outstrip all his competitors for the favour of an intelligent public, and his efforts are certainly crowned with remarkable suceess. Independently of the various decorative im provements which have been made since last sea son, several entirely new and interesting features contribute to render the attractions of Cremorne more numerous than ever. Amongst these, we may notice the elegant little theatre which has been erected for the performances of the " Ma rionette troupe," formerly so well known and ap preciated at the Adelaide Gallery.. The introduc tory address, which is very well spoken, is pithy, pointed and salient; and the singing is for the most part all than can be desired. The pigmies are all newly and elegantly dressed, and a grand " pas de deux" is executed with wonderful grace and precision. The performance of Bombastes Furioso is also highly creditable to actors who, " though wooden, are not sticks." The equestrian performances in the Cirque con tinue to maintain their excellent reputation ; and not only horses, but dogs, are now pressed into the Service, and add another to the long catalogue of wonders, presented to the notice of the public. A. Frenchman has been engaged to exhibit some of the cleverest canine performers we have ever witnessed ; these animals are singularly intelligent, and have evidently been trained with great care) and address ; the master of them is a true speci men of national character, and personally contr butes very much to the fun of the exhibition. _ We must not omit to mention, among the novel . - some of the paintings by Mr. Jones, representingfoed the glory most interesting ruins that ballsoneet ties of the present season, the admirable scenic also eminently of Imperial Rome.

The exertions of M. Milano ar e also very successful, and there is a s p r ightliness and bonhommie about him which is highly pleasing. The music of Signor Bosisio is in his usual felici tous style, and the performers do ample justice to the composer. In concluding these rematks we cannot refrain from noticing the admirable order and decorum which prevails in every part of this establishment, of which the tone is rapidly improving every year.

Mozart's operatic chef d'oeuvre, "Il Don Gio vanni," is to be revived at the above theatre on Thursday next, with entirely new scenery, dresses, decorations, 47,c., and an extraordinarily powerful cast, including all the principal artists of Mr. Dun ley's company. The distribution of characters will be as follows :—Zerlina, Madlle. Piccolomini ; Donna Anna, Madlle. Spezia ; Elvira, Madlle. Or tolani ; Don Giovanni, Sismor Benevanto ; Ii Com mendatore, Signor Vialati ; Leporello, Signor Bel;etti ; Masetto, Signor Corsi ; and Don Ottavio, Signor Giuglini. The other leading singers of the establishment—amongst whom are Herr Reichardt, Signor Bottirdi, and Mr. Charles Brahatn—have consented to take part in the magnificent finale to the first act. Three pieces of dramatic, no 1. ss than musical importance, which have nevertheless, been hitherto omitted—namely, the airs " Ho Capito" (Masetto) ' " Ah Fuggi" (Elvira), and "Dalla sua Pace" (Don Ottavio), will be restored on this occa sion, and the "additional accompaniments" of brass instruments, &c., with which we have been favoured of late years, entirely suppressed. The perforniance of Thursday next will be the great event of Mr. Lumley's present operatic season. We understand that the director has gone to very great expense to do honour to Mozart's incomparable work, and every lover of true art must feel deeply Interested in its success. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA. On Saturday evening her Majesty honoured the performance of " Il Trovatore" with her pre sence. The house was crowded to the ceiling, and' the opera, which was in every respect most admirably represented, went off with all possible eclat. This evening, the great Italian actress, Madame Ristori, makes her first appearance this season in her character of " Medea.' CRYSTAL PALACE CONCERTS. The sixth Royal Italian Opera concert was, like its predecessors, extremely well attended. All the principal members of Mr. Gye's establish ment assisted as usual, and the programme again consisted almost exclusively of extracts from the variou4 operas belonging to the repertory of the Royal Italian Opera. Encores were awarded to the madrigals, "Down in a flowery vale " and " The hardy Norsewan's house of yore," given re spectively by Festa and Pearsall ; to Donizetti's " Tornami a dir," sung by Madame Grisi and Signor Mario ; and to the same composer's "Al dolce guidami," executed by Madame Grisi. The other great successes of the concert were the rendering of Beethoven's " Adelaide " (with Costa's orchestration), by Signor Mario; Verdi's " Caro nome," by Madame Bosio ; Bellini's " A te, o cara," by Signor Gardoni ; and Mozart's " Voi the sapete," by Madame Nantier Didiee. COLOGNE CHORAL UNION.. This distinguished society gave their last con cert on Saturday evening, at the Hanover-square Rooms. Their merits are too well kncwn to need criticism, they fully maintained their character on this farewell occasion, and were loudly applauded. Herr Du Mont Fier, the baritone, was very suc cessful in his solos. Between the parts of the con cert a fantasia on the violincello was performed by ,by M. Offenbach, accompanied on the pianoforte by Herr Director Weber. The concert was well attended, and the audience appeared highly grati fied by the performances. It is to be hoped that these talented singers, who have made us acquainted with a totally new style of choral singing, will be induced by the encouragement they have met with to pay us another visit. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. The musical performances at these gardens, under the superintendence of M. Jullien, continue to be of a highly attractive character, and the pro grammes, according to the method usually adopted by that distinguished public entertainer, have pre sented a judicious combination of popular and classical pieces. It is worth a visit to the gardens, and an hour spent in the music hall, if only to hear one of the symphonies of Beethoven or Men delssohn executed with such admirable vigour and precision by M. Jullien's powerful orchestra, the members of which, by constant practice together, have reached a degree of efficiency attainable in no other way. The Italian symphony of Mendelssohn has long been one of the stock-pieces of the band ; but the 7th symphony of Beethoven, a still more elaborate and difficult work, seems now to be the favourite medium for exhibiting its proficiency to the public. To make popular, in the strict sense of the term, a composition of so high a character would puzzle any one less confident of the public ear than M. Jullien ' • but, having set himself the task, he has already made the two middle movements as familiar to his numerous patrons as any part of the " C minor" or the " Pastoral." How little the audiences that resort to the Surrey gardens are indifferent to the beauties of this noble symphony is demonstrated in the decorous atten tion with which it is listened to from beginning to end, and the hearty plaudits that greet the termi nation of every movement. The musical festival which inaugurated the open ing of this establishment so brilliantly last season, is to have its parallel very shortly. On Friday evening a series of entertainments, on an unusually grand scale, is to commence with the oratorio of " The Creation." The festival is to last 10 days. "The Creation" will be followed by "Elijah, Elijah" by Haydn's " Seasons ;" and then, in alter nate succession, we are promised a Rossini, a Verdi, a Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Mozart night. The host of artists engaged, besides the band and chorus, which are to be as numerous as on the previous occasion, includes Mesdames Gas sier, Rudersdorff, Caradori, Fiorentini, and Weiss, Mademoiselle Westerstrand, Misses Louisa Vin , ning, Stabbacb, and Dolby, Messrs. Sims Reeves, Gassier, Reichardt, Weiss, Perren, dtc. (vocalists) ; Herr Ernst, Signors Bazzini, Sivori, Piatti, And reoli, Bottesini, Miss Arabella ;Goddard, d; c. (in strumentalists). Thus ardent lovers of music who visit London during the progress of the Handel Festival in the Crystal Palace will be at no loss for means of indulging their favourite passion by night as well as by day. ROY AL CREMORNE GARDENS. THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK. ARREST OF MR. OWEN AND OTHER DIRECTORS. The offer of a reward of 2061, for the apprehen sion of Mr. Humphrey Brown, is the fir,t publi c evidence which has been afforded of the intention of the Government to bring to justice the managers and directors of the late Royal British Bank. For some time past most energetic measures were in contemplation by the Government, but for obvious reasons it was not deemed prudent to give publi city to the course which was under consideration. On Tuesday last, however, Bench warrants were issued by the Court of Queen's Bench, on informa tions filed by the Attorney-General, not merely for the apprehension of Mr. Humphrey Brown, but for the late governor, the managers, and a number of directors of the bank, several of whom have been already arrested. In the case of Mr. Owen, the fir,t director captured, bail was tendered, and by direc tion of Mr. Justice Erle the prisoner was liberated. on his own recognisances of 4,0001., and two sure ties of 2,0001. each. A similar bail will, it is understood, be accepted in the ca•ie of the other directors. Two or three of the persons implicated, at pre sent in Paris, are, if not already in the hands of the officers, at least so completely under their ser veillance, that escape is altogether impossible. With respect to the late manager of the bank, Mr. Came ron, there is reason to believe that, if he has not already been, he will shortly be arrested, at Paris, by the French police on a charge of travel ling with a false passport, and when that charge is disposed of, he will of course be available for the warrant issued by the Queen's Bench. For some weeks past every one of the persons connected with the bank, and who were recently examined in the Court of Bankruptcy, have been closely watched by Inspector Field and his staff of assistants, and every change of residence, and especially those made after'. . the delivery of the very strong opinion expressed by Mr. Commissioner Holroyd, have been carefully noted and recorded. The prosecution will be con ducted by the Attorney-General, assisted by Mr. E. James, Q.C. ; and so great has been the despatch in the preparation and getting up of the case, that the whole of the briefs, occupying many hundred pages of printed matter, have for some days been ready for delivery. The indictment will, it is understood, exceed in length those of the famous Irish State trials. Messrs. Linklater and Hackwood, the able solicitors of the assignees of the bank, will act as so licitors for the prosecution. There is reason to be lieve that the activity and zeal of Inspector Field will result in the apprehension of the whole of the persons in the course of a very few days. Several of his assistants are already on the Continent, and it was rumoured late on Saturday night that a tele graphic despatch had been received, stating that two captures had been effected in Paris. CARMARTHENSHIRE. Mr. David Pugh has issued the following address to the electors of Carmarthenshire : Gentlemen,—l have been requested by a large and influential body of the electors of this county, to come forward to supply the vacancy in your representation caused by the lamented death of Mr. S. Davies, our late member, and our friend ; for who that ever knew him did not feel that in that sincere, that pure, that amiable heart, he possessed a firm and constant friend I have no Parliamentary career to appeal to ; but like him, whose death we now deplore, I bare had the ho nour of serving for some years among you as chairman of the Quarter Sessions. The friendships which I have con tracted here have known uo abatement, no change ; and I have been brought into communication with all classes of the community. I retain the same moderate Conservative opinions which I have ever held ; but none knew better than yourselves how of late years political parties have been mingled together, and the lines which separated them have become less distinct ; while more liberal feelings. have reigned in all hearts. It seems therefore to be now more than ever necessary that those who are sent for the first time to the House of Commons, not promising a blind or undeviating adherence to any chief or party in the State, should be prepared to decide on question■ as they come before them according to their conscientious conviction. In common with the great majority of my country men, I admire the policy of Lord Palmerston, which in a time of difficulty and danger, upheld the ancient glory of the kingdom ; and I approve the determination, since evinced in the Chinese waters, to cause the British flag to be respected in every quarter of the globe. The question of church rates I have long desired to see settled ; and with that view I wish the subject to be taken up by the Government of the day ; nor do I think that the cause of general education, which all good men have so much at heart, is likely to be brought to a successful termination, if left in the hands of individual members. To any measure of Parliamentary Reform which the lapse of time may have rendered necessary, which shall propose to extend the right of voting to men of educa tion, intelligence, or wealth, I shall be prepared to give impartial consideration ; and to enforce all economy in the hands of the departments of the State, which is con• sistent with good service, and with the maintenance of the national defences. _ _ _ - I wish that a contest on this occasion could have been spared to the county ; that around the grave of our be loved and lamented friend all might have been peaceful and tranquil as the death he died ; and no bitter or unkind word be heard. But encouraged as I am by promises of support, I have no right and no power to recede. The shortness of the time intervening between this and the nomination day will render it impossible for me to pay my respects to you personally • but I shall never be indifferent to the discharge of the duties yon may impose on me. I can conceive for myself no higher earthly honour than that of serving you, no more noble employment. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MOZNING. THE DIVORCE BILL. The Tablet of this day announces that the Catho lics, under the direction of the Cardinal Archbishop, are " making some efforts at last to arrest the pro gress of that detestable Bill by which the Queen's Ministers propose to legalise adultery." After a considerable expenditure of ink in order to make it apparent that the marriage of Napoleon and Jo sephine was not dissolved by the authority of the Holy See, the Tablet proceeds to denounce Lord. Cranwerth's Bill as the embodiment of all that is vile and repugnant to the Christian religion, con cluding in these choice terms : "It 'is not in the 19th century that the natural man first felt the want of getting rid of his wife ; he has tried it before, and probably in every century of the church's history, hut he could not do it. The religion he professed was against him, and he was forced to submit to the in exorable law, ' Let no man separate.' Lords Lyndhurst and Cranworth are not the first lawyers who kicked against the Jaw of Christ, but their predecessors were not so stupid as to say that any earthly tribunal could dissolve a marriage once complete. Henry VIII., in the fury of his lust, did not go such lengths as these ; he always contrived that his marriages should have a flaw in them, for that Royal adulterer was not so I ntel. lectually corrupted as to imagine that he could be the husband of two wives both living at the same time. H• was a better theologian than the sect he founded, and w• must regret to-day that his spiritual children do not better observe the principles of their father." STIRLING, JUNE 2.—SIR COLIN CAMPBELL.—Tbe veteran general arrived here from Perth yesterday, and took up his residence at Campbell's Golden Lima Hotel. The general was, in the course of the day, eii. gaged in looking over and inspe ctin g the various books which were submitted to him in the Castle. In the afternoon, about half-past four o'clock, the companies of the depots here were inspected so far as regards their furnishings and equipments. The general also visited the hospital, and remained for a short time. This morn. ing, at a quar ter- p ast five o clock, the several companies of the battalion were ordered out on the esplanade, when the gallant general put "The Old Black Watch" through their facings as of old. It affords US muck gratification to say that the general was pleased to state to the commanding officer, that he was particularly pleased, not only w ith the g eneral bearing of the cotn panies, but with the whole departments of the garrison. —North British Mail. CRIME IN FRAHM—The Court of Asedizceis Guillemet. the Rh o ne, three days ago, tried a peasant n of St. Igny de Vers, for the manslaughter ae oT al his ain ao e n tP aged about 14, so far back as August, 1853. On tb: 10th of that month it was noticed that the boy had dis appeared, and nothing was seen h o funtil the 19tb, when his dead body wasorfouneadrinsn himanefxt state of putrefaction in a hedge near his father's ' house. It was not possible, from the decomposed state of the body, to see whether or not it bore traces of violence, but as the man had for a long time treated the boy with great brutality, little doubt was enter tained by the neighbours of his having murdered Jilin. Strange to say, however, no investigation was insti• tuted, and nothing was thought of the matter until February last, when the man, having been arrested on some other charge, of which, however, be turned out to be innocent, manifested such profound terror at the idea that his arrest might cause inquiries to be made respect ing the death of his son tbat the matter was investigated. The result was that a labeurer named Chuzaville came forward and said that on the 9th of August, 1853, he had seen the boy lying beneath a tree covered with blood, and that the boy stated . in answer to his in quiries tha t his ,father had pat beaten him most cr uelly; also that the next day as be (Chuzeville) wai pass i n g near the house of Guillemet, he saw the boy perched in a cherry-tree eati ng c h err i e s, and that his f a ther, having come up at the moment, threw a large piece of wood, which striking the boy on the head caused him to fall senseless on the ground ; that the father then taking him up in his arms carried him into his house. This was the last time the boy was seen alive, so that there was no doubt that the blow bad killed him. The jury declared the prisoner guilty, but with extenu ating circumstances, aad the Cour t sentenced him to six years' hard labour. / .8 ;01p1../. 100 FOR: IGN. 67i 8 721 37 6a 111 1 53 4 36 51 19 1001 2i 1001 43 2i 833, I 12; i zoa I 2a i 108 f 64i 914 1 21k 1068 19a 10 5 i i 24a 6i t 81 1 8
