From Toronto we have intelligence to the 20th ultimo. Parliament assembled on that day. The governor stated in his speech that the revenues from customs and canals were increasing, and that the change in the imperial navi gation laws had increased foreign shipping on the Cana- Ti cial news : to following are the leading features of our commer. The advices received by the Cambria had not produced any improvement in the general business of the Union—rather the contrary. Towards the close of the week previous to the Eurona's departure. however. it had resumed its former tone. weather contributed to the languor of trade general.y of the leading stocks were somewhat lower. The money market was in a satisfactory condition, the " commodity" being by no means scarce, and the rates and prices bad receded slightly, as will be seen by the follow ing quotations :—Western Canal flour steady, at 84 12c. to .84 25c. per barrel ; Genessee prime wheat, 81 10c. to 81 12c. per 601 b •, Indian corn, round yellow, 60c. to 62c. ; Indian meal, 83 121 c. to .83 25c, per barrel. The demand for export gene rally was moderate. The cotton market at New York and the other leading towns has been very inactive; the sales were limited, and prices re cce ed for most descriptions as follows :—New Orleans and Mobile, mid. fair to fair, 11i to 12 cents. per lb., or a fall of a cent. Uplands and Florida mid. fair to fair, 10i to 11 cents. per lb. The markets at New Orleans and New York had been much unsettled by the Camblia's news, and this, coupled with the announcement that the excess in receipts over last season ted to 280,000 bales, brought down the prices to the potations. The accounts from the griming crops are 11 unfavourable. above a generally, isted for butter and cheese Exchange on London was in good demand at 1101 to 110/ ; Paris, 5 10 ; Hamhurgh, 36/ to 37 ; Bremen, 783 . to 781. CALIFORNIA.—By the El Dorado, arrived at New York. we have advices from California to the 15th of April. The steam-ships Panama and Isthmus left San- Francisco on the 15th with nearly =2,000,000 in gold dust on reight, the former arriving at Panama on the 2nd ult. The mines generally were doing well, in both the northern and southern districts. Rain had fallen in great abundance, and large amounts of gold were being taken out from the dirt thrown up during the dry season. There had been more Lynching at the mines. Accounts were daily arriving of new discoveries of auriferous mines in different parts of the country. The weather had been good, and the country was healthy. Letters from San Francisco relative to the money-market state that it does not present any feature of importance since our last notice. Rates of interest are firmly high, and there is the same difficulty in money accommodation. Some excite ment had lately prevailed there on the subject of private coin, of which the currency in circulation principally con sists. On examination and settling by the United States assayer, this has been found deficient in value from one to ten per cent., in consequence of which all private issue of coin, with the exception of Moffatt and Co.'s, who re deem thEirs at par, and have ceased further issue, was refused to be received by bankers, &c., unless at fitting discount. It is rumoured that the young Emperor of Austria has solicited in marriage the hand of the daughter of the Grand Duke of Hesse Darmstadt. A young French aeronaut, named Goddard, jun. made a successful descent in a parachute, on Sunday, at Paris. He went up from the Hippodrome in his father's great balloon, and when at a great height, the parachute was detached, descended very slowly, and ultimately felt on the roof a house in the Rue de la Madeleine. A great sensation has been created in Hungary by the arrest of the Countess Teleky, and her companion Madame Erdely, at Belfalvo. They have been ordered for trial by a court-martial at Peterwarden. It is said that the Countess has been the medium of a correspondence be tween the refugees in London and Asia Minor and their partisans in Hungary. Some of this correspondence has been se:zed. The Frankfort Diet will not commence its proceedings until the termination of the royal interview at Warsaw and Olmutz. The Emperor of Russia and the King of Prussia were to leave Warsaw on Tuesday, the 27th inst. The two monarchs would separate at Oderberg, the Emperor proceeding to Olmutz, and the Ki ng o f Prussia to Bvrlin, where he was to arrive on the '29th. 11:1; Emperor has been particularly marked in his attentions to the Kin?: of Prussia. CALIFORNIA -The estimated produce of gold dust for flit first quarter of .1851 is -W16.00,155 ; this" is taken as a standard in estimating the amount for the year, the total production would he $64.120,620. The favourable eir curntarices ❑nder which the mining was stated to be con ducted, according to the last advices, renders it probable the annual return will not fall short of :R70.000,000. In 1839, Mr. NlTulloch estimated the entire annual produce of the American, European. and Russo-Asiatic mines at £6,000,000 sterling, or about 428,000,000 of the precious metals.

Hence the del - , rtnination of the I)nlie to be o,mniander in Chief of the Army (an office vacated by the King upon the overthrow of Count Thomar's Cabinet), which the Queen cons( quently confirms, " in consideration of the great merits of the Duke of Salanha." EXTRAORDINARY MURDER IN BELGII'M.— In November last, an extraordinary sensation Was created in B,dgium !)y the announcement that Count Hippolvte Visart de Bocartn6 nd his wife, both residing at Bury, in the province of IL :insult, Lad been arrested on the charge of having murdered the brother of the latter by means of poison forcibly administered to him after dinner at their cltireau on the 29th of that month. The investigations of justice ended in both the accused being committed for trial. The trial commenced before the Court of Assizes of Mons, on Tuesday, and was continued on the foi!ow big day. It aiTvared from the indictment that the Countess, altl.,:tigh the Count belonged to one of the first families of Hainault, was the daughter of a retired grocer. The Count, on marrying her, had not obtained the fortune he expected, and latterly they were reduced to great extretrities. It was then that the Count began to Study the qualities of poisonous plants, and especially of nicotine. Ile had admitted to his wife that he had been preparing it " to do the business of Gustave," her brother, on the succession to whose fortune, by his death, all their hopes depended. On the day of the murder several of the servants were sent out of the way on speci ous pretences ; one of them, however, heard Gustave cry for help f rom th e dining-room , where he had been dining with the Count and his wife. It was then represented that Gustave, who was found dead, had died of apoplexy, but suspicion having been excited, an investigation took place, and nicotine was found in his stomach, and was proved to have been the cause of death. A number of other suspicious circumstances also came out, tending to fix the murder on the Count and Countess. The Countess now admitted that her husband told her he had committed the murder, of which, however, she knew no more from her own knowledge than that she had seen her husband knock Gustave down, when she became terrified and left the room. She had b een i n d uced to conceal the matter by the entreaties of her husband, and had washed away the stains of the nicotine (which must have been forced down Gustave'a throat) from her husband's clothes and from the floor. At the conclusion of the Countess's ex amination the Court rose. e inflexib light has been the triumphant tal of the great contractor and banker, Lulla J Persand ; the trial lasted twelve days, and the verdict was unanimous on the part of the jury, and fully concurred in by the judge. _ Another case of military banking delinquency has been brought to light. Colonel Ponsonby, while chair man of the North-western Bank, had taken 66 shares without giving an actual value in return ; but, instead of leaving the scrip for these shares with the North-Western Bank till they were bona fide paid for, he pledged them to the Delhi Bank for a loan of 33,000 rupees to Major Angelo, not as secretary, but in his private capacity. having obtained the par value of his stock from the Delhi Bank. Colonel Ponsonby cancelled these shares in the books of his own bank, of course, without informing the mortgagees of the fact, who did not discover it till lately, as the dividends on the shares continued to be paid to the Delhi Bank, although the shares themselves had actually disappeared from the• register of. the North-Western Intelligence was received in Bombay from Calcutta on the eve of the departure of the last overland mail that a very fine ship, the Kurramany, bound to the Mauritius, full of Coolie emigrants, had been burnt to the water's edge, near Kedgeree. The crew and Coolies on board amounted to 465 - souls, of whom 366 are lost. The Nizam's dominions are in a worse state than ever— even in the capital no law prevails but that of the sword. The Nizam's palace is besieged by a large body of starving soldiery clamouring for their arrears, and throughout the districts the unpaid and disbanded troops are paying them selves by plundering the temples and inhabitants, seizing (in one instance) the women and children of a whole vil lage till their demands are paid. It is generally asked whether the paramount power of India is not morally responsible for the continuance of outrages which it has the power to put an immediate end to, by the adoption of measures which, according to Indian ideas and precedent, it is no more than its duty to adopt in such an extreme his I case Accounts from China up to the 30th of March have reached Bombay. The rebels to the Imperial authority in the provinces next to Canton were making head success fully against the Emperor's troops. The Friend of China of the 30th of March says,— " We have heard that Kwei.lin-fu, the capital of the province of Kwangsi, has been taken possession of by the rebels. This town is but a short distance from the province of Hunan (bounding Kwangtung on the north). The whole tract of country reported to be in possession of the insurgents is about the size of England and "Wales united. The Spanish Governor of Manilla had headed a successful expedition against the little piratical island of Sooloo, situated between the Philippine Islands and Bor neo." Lord Falkland is now at Bombay, having been called from the hills by public business having reference to an expected requisition (which it is thought may arrive by next mail) for succours to the Cape. The Bombay Government are holding their steamers in readiness for the conveyance of troops, which, if any are required, will be brought from Madras ; if these steamers are required for such purpose, no mail will be despatched from Bom bay o❑ the 17th of May. FINANCIAL FINESSE.—BARNt'M OUTDONE.-111`Ele vey, the tailor, who bought the prize -ticket to Jenny Lind's first concert in Cincinnati, is one of the few men in the world who is as sharp as Barnum. The way he worked things was this : for some days before the concert he went around among his friends, betting S'lo with this one, £2O with that one, and so on, until he had $l,OOO bet that he would buy the prise -ticket. The ticket was knocked down to him at $'575, thus leaving him S-125 in pocket. —New York Eaglet. EXECUTION AFTER DEATH.—A young man named Barranguero, was some time ago condemned to death by the Criminal Court of Huesea, in Spain, for having mur dered a man named Sierra, with whose wife he had long maintained a criminal connexion. On the 10th of this month he heard that the executioner had arrived to carry the sentence into effect. He determined to commit sui cide : he had stabbed himself near the heart with a spoon, and opened a vein with a penknife. lie was discovered bathed in blood, and he had just time to confess and to receive the last sacraments before he died. Notwithstand ing his death, the judge determined that the ceremony of execution should take place. The dead body was accord ingly carried to the scaffold, a rope was placed round his neck, and the ordinary means of producing strangulation were gone through. The spectacle caused a profound sensation amongst all who witnessed it. Such an act is said to be unexampled in Spain.—Galianani. FIGHTING IN ALGERIA.—The Paris journals are chiefly occupied with accounts from Algeria. According to the Moniteur several sharp engagements have taken place with the Kabyles. On the 11th General St. Arnaud, at the head of nine battalions, forced some heightQ, which 4000 Kabyles defended so obstinately as to have cost him 11 killed and 81 wounded. The 12th was passed in fight ing. On the 13th, during a difficult march, the 10th Regiment were attacked in a wood and suffered severe loss. On the 14th, an attack of the Kabyles was repelled. Col. Maralat, on the 15th, penetrated to the dwellings of the Kabyles in the mountains, whom he chastised severe ly, and on the 16th the Frenai were enabled to bivouac at Djigelly. Quitting this place on the 19th General St. Arnaud attacked and cleared the overlooking heights, with the loss of two killed and 31 wounded. The next day the Kabyles were driven from a strong position, leaving 380 dead. This victory was followed by the submission of three great fractions of the B. Amran, the Achaib, the 0. Boucra, and the 0. Rou Achair. The B. Ahmed has asked peace. In fact, the main objects of the expedition were looked on as achieved. The Debats sets down the French losses in these engagements at 100 killed and 3CO wounded. PARISIAN ROMANCE.—M. Sommerson, an ex-cavalry officer, possesses a handsome fortune, and devotes his leisure to the study of antiquities. He is in correspon dence with several scientific men of Tours, and last year he went to that place to pass a portion of the summer. One morning as he was walking with a friend on the pub lic promenade of Tours, they perceived a person, having the appearance of a tradesman, whose countenance ex hibited signs of intense melancholy. This person turned away, but in a few minutes returned, and accosted M. Sommerson as follows :—•' I have come, sir, to a strange resolution. You see before you a drowning man, who would snatch at a straw to save himself. lam a trades man of this town, and am in want of two thousand francs. If I cannot find this sum I shall be dishonoured, and must commit suicide. I have not the honour to know you otherwise than by reputation, and v e t I think I yield to an inspiration from heaven when I ask you to lend me this sum, for Providence appears to have sent you ex , pressly in my route." M. Sommerson was surprised at s 1 the application, but there was uch an appearance of truth about the man, and his emotion seemed so real, that he told him to follow him to his lodging, where he advanced the money, giving his own address in Paris, and receiving the debtor's card. M. Sommerson had heard no more of his debtor, and concluded that his loan had not turned to the profit of the borrower, when, the other day the latter (Out upon him in the Rue do Val-de-Grate, and paid hack the two thousand francs, with interest.—Droit. FATAL. DUEL.—On Friday night a duel ii.mori was fought near Buulogne between two Frenchmen—Jean Petit and George Roussell—who had arrived with their seconds two days previously from England. On the even ing in question they were shown by a commissionaire to the sand-hills in the neighbourhood of Condette, about two miles from Pont-de-Briques. Arrived there the na ture of their desig,ns became apparent. The men were set up at twenty-five paces, and fired with pistols, but without effect. They were then placed for the third time, but at fifteen paces, when Petit fell under his adversary's fire, the bullet having entered his left breast, just above the heart, and passed quite through his body. The death of this unfortunate h - Jan must therefore have been instan taneous. It was now past 7 o'clock, and the commis sionaire was despatched to Pont-de-Briques for a doctor, with whom, as also with the maire of the commune, he returned in about an hour. But the party bed fled, dark ness had likewise set in, and it was only with great diffi culty, and after an hour's search, that the body of the de ceased was discovered, lying upon his back, his feet im bedded in the sand, his hands clasped together, and his arms pressed upon his breast. His companions had left upon the ground an instrument for probing the wound, and also a rapier cane. Upon the person of the deceased were found his passport, a franc piece, and a book of the laws of the first republic, in which was inscribed the name " Jean Petit," and his place of birth, " Roubaix, Bel gium." Upon his breast was laid a fine cambric hand kerchief, in a corner of which the initials " R. B.", sur mounted by a coronet, are worked ; this Circumstance, simple as it is, by no means tends to dissipate the mystery in which the matter is involved. A political reason is one generally attached to the duel, " but of a character which it would be unwise to mention." A " MUNICIPAL"—The Reading Mercury s a ys—" At the last meeting of the town council, Mr. James com plained of the high charge of £2 ss. for the crier's hat.

It was very improper. —The Mayor: Say what ?—Mr. James : God save the Queen.' [A laugh.] —The late Mayor : I always say ' Amen' when I hear him. CLaughter.l—Mr. James : it aught not to be suf fered.

The dates of the advices brought by this arrival are—Calcutta, April 23 ; May -3 The G3vernorlGeneral was at Sealkote on the 15th of April, and was expected to arrive at Simla by the first week in May. The hill chiefs of the western frontier of the Punjaub still continue troublesome. A detachment of irregular troops had been sent after one of them ,Futeh Khan, who had succeeded in effecting a des cent. An allied chief Wahab Khan, with a number of.his own clan, attacked this detachment, hut after a skirm i sh. in whicl . th killed on each side, he was driven off to the hills. Sadut Khan, son of Fettle!' Khan, is, however, collecting a force to reinforce Vv - ahab Khan. From Cabul information has been received that Ma hommed Ukram Khan and Gholam Hyder Khan, sons of Dost Mahommed, are obliged to fortify themselves in Balkh, as the people in the country round have not ac knowledged their rule. They have informed their father that the Ameer of Bokhara has sent an army out against them, but that in consequence of the want of boats it has been detained on the banks of the river Hamoon. Robberies are still of frequent occurrence at Peshawur. Officers' fowling-pie!es and horses seem to be articles 28 sheep, THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. IRELAND. The Earl of Clarendon has entered an appearance to the action broueht by Mr. Burke. Since June, 1850, Nenagh union has increased its debts from £4OO to upwards of £lO,OOO. The Limerick Chro nicle thinks it must borrow a loan of £6OOO to pay the contractors up to tho 25th March last, and before a shil ling of the next rate is collected, there will be again £6OOO due to the contractors. A few days ago an old woman named Mary Cody, wko had been known as a professional mendicant of the most wretched cast for many years, died at Black Mill, Dub lin ; and, after her decease, the sum of £36 15s. was found in an old box belonging to her, £7 of which she had previously directed should be laid out on her funeral. A frightful accident occurred on Tuesday, at a place called Barnane, the residence of Mr. John Carden, near Tern plemore, in the county of Tipperary, an embankment for the conveyance of water to a flax mill, in process of con struction, having given way, and four men being killed on the spot, and several others badly injured. Mrs. Tate, widow of Dr. Tate, of Portsmouth, having brought an action against Dr. Rawson, of Carlow, who had charged her as the writer of anonymous slanderous letters, which she denied on oath, sued for £2,000 damages. The case came on in the Exchequer Court, Dublin, yesterday week. and terminated on Saturday, when the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff with £3OO damages. RlOT. — Kilkenny has again been disturbed by most dis graceful outrages of a sectarian character, arising out of the publication of the names atrached to local petitions against Papal aggression. On Monday evening a orderly mob, composed chiefly of young persons, proceeMlf through the town, carrying the effigies of some of the Protestant inhabitants who signed the petition. Fires were lighted in various directions for the purpose of burn ing the effigies, and the windows of Protestants were broken. Some houses were considerably injured, and it is stated that in one instance an attempt was made to set a house on fire. The ringleader of the mob has been arrested and committed to gaol, and a meeting of she re respectable inhabitants, presided over by the mayor, has been since held for the purpose of protesting against the disgraceful proceedings, and taking some means to prevent their recurrence. POPERY IN PLAIN CLOTHES.-The Papal system has a well furnished wardrobe. It has one set of habiliments for a Protestant country, and another for a Popish. In England it presents itself to the public gaze bedizoned with all the tinsel frippery and disguised with all the consummate artifice, which characterize the toilette de signed for the bal masque; in Ireland it walks abroad in all its undisguised deformity, exhibiting at once the flaunting and unblushing effrontery of the courtesan, the combined insolence and cowardice of the bully, and the mingled cunning and cruelty of the imbecile tyrant who is " Willing to wound, but yet afraia to strike." The most recent illustration of its characteristics in this respect with which we have been furnished, we derive from an Irish contemporary, the Carlow Sentinel. A meeting of the friends of the Protestant Orpham Society for the Queen's County was held the other day in the parochial school-house, adjoining the town of Graigne. One would have thought that a meeting in aid of an insti tution for the benefit of orphans would at least not have excited the community, if it did not actually secure the sympathy of the populace. Not so, however. The move-, ment had reference to a Protestant Orphan Society, which made all the difference in the world. Accordingly, at the conclusion of the proceedings—which, strange to say, were only occasionally and partially disturbed by a popish mob which surrounded the school-house—when the clergymen assisting at the meeting proceeded on their way to the residence of the Rev. Da vson Massey, who had taken a leading part in the proceedings, they were followed by a crowd of fanatics, whose infernal yells and hootings were, before long, appropriately seconded by volleys of stones, from which one of the rev. gentlemen, the Hon. William Wingfield, sustained a severe injury, which might readily have proved a fatal one. The danger which they incurred was considerably enhanced by their determination to protect from the cowardly brutality of the ferocious rabble a couple of poor women who had renounced the errors of popery, and embraced the Protes tant faith; and who, but for the protection thus afforded them, might have paid, for their claim to exercise liberty of conscience, the forfeit of their lives. The numbers and the ferocity of their assailants increased as the devoted little band passed through the town of Carlow, the capital of the county which bears that name ! and a tragical catastrophe was, in all probability, arrested only by the arrival of an armed police force, by whom the roaring mob, as cowardly as they were ferocious, were speedily dispersed. LAW INTELLIGENCE, VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT.-TUESDAY CURIOUS CASE. Vice-Chancellor Bruce delivered judgment in the case of Hutchins v. Hutchins, which was of an extraordinary nature. The main facts were briefly these :—About 1818, a Mr. Charles Hutchins went out to India, where he married a lady of partially native descent. He died in 1828, leaving four children. These children were sub sequently brought to England, and placed under the care of their uncles, the Revs. James and George Hutchins, clergymen. These persons subsequently professed to believe that the three youngest children brought here had been substituted for the real children of their brother, and those children were sent back to India. where they soon after died. The eldest boy, who remained here, became entitled, in right of his father, to a sum of £2,400, for which his uncles were trustees. They main tained him at a school for a time, but they soon withdrew any allowance for his support, on the ground that he was also a substituted child, and he became an inmate of the Brighton workhouse, and is a cripple from alleged neg lect in his childhood. This was a suit instituted for the recovery of the property appropriated by the uncles, and the Vice-Chancellor, sfter adverting to the disgraceful conduct of the parties, ordered them to pay the fund to the plaintiff, with Interest from 1830, at the rate of 5 per cent., and condemned them in all the costs. THURSDAY Judgment was delivered on Thursday in the Vice-Chan cellor's Court in " Beman v. Rufford," respecting the validity of the agreement between the Oxford, Worcester, and Wolverhampton and London and North-western Railway Companies. Lord Cranworth thought the agree ment bsd, but would send a case for the opinion of a court of law on its validity. FRIDAY. HABERSTION V. VARDON. Mr. Nadir Baxter, of Wonston, in Huntingdonshire, by his will in 1842, devised his real and personal property to Mr. R. James, Mr. M. Habershon, and Mr. J. Bour dillon, and declared the trusts of certain sums, and then proceeded thus :—" Further upon trust other £l,OOO out of such part of my personal estate as may by law be de voted to charitable purposes, be paid towards the contri butions that I do confidently believe and earnestly pray will speedily he begun to be raised under the sanction of our hitherto so highly favoured church and nation►, in evidence of Christian faith, towards the political restora tion of the Jews to Jerusalem, and to their own land, and as I conscientiously believe also that the institution by the Anglican Church of the Bishopric of Jerusalem is the actual commencement of the great and merciful work of Jehovah towards Zion, to be fulfilled in due time, so I further devise in trust other £5OO out. of such part of my personal estate as may by law be devoted to charitable purposes to be appropriated and paid into the fund of the said bishopric accordingly." His Honour considered that the gift of the £lOOO was not a charity legacy, but one given for the purpose of creating a revolution in the dominions of an ally of her Majesty, aid was void. The legacy of £5OO was agreed to be a good charitable gift. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.--FRIDAY (Sittings in Banco.) ROSEITO AND OTHERS V. GARVEY. The Lord Chief Justice delivered the judgment of the Court in this case, which was an action on a policy of marine insurance upon a ship load of corn, which was greatly damaged by perils of the sea, and sold at Cork at a sam greatly below the expenses that had been incurred in salvage and in suits respecting it in the Court of Ad miralty. The question for the court was, whether the loss was partial only or total. If total, the verdict w,.s to stand ; if partial only, it was to be entered for the de fendant, provided he paid into court an amount sufficient to cover an average loss. Upon full consideration of the whole case the court were of opinion that the loss could not be considered a total loss, and that the proper test upon that point had not been submitted to the jury. The facts of the case were somewhat complicated ; but the principles to be applied to them were simple, and had been well explained by Mr. Justice Maule in the case of " Moss v. Smith." A judgment of Mr. Baron Alderson, delivered so lately as the 21st February last, had been re ferred to in the course of the argument, in which a rule on the subject had been pointed out ; but the court, with great deference, thought that that was not the true rule, the question in a case like the present should be, whether it was practicable to send the whole or a part of the cargo to the port of destination in such a marketable state that it would sell for a sum exceeding the cost of conveyance and salvage ? If so, the loss was partial only ; if not, it was total. In the present case the jury had found that 1700 quarters of corn could have been so conveyed to the port of destination. Now, the rule of salvage was, that it should be only half the value ; and as the court tLought that the expenses of the suits in the Admiralty Court could not be taken into consideration, it was plain that there would be a surplus after deducting freight and half the value for salvage, and therefore that the plaintiff was not entitled to a verdict as for the total loss.—Rule absolute. STAINBANK V. FENNING The Court gave judgment in this case. The action was tried at Liverpool last assizes, before Mr. Baron Platt. The plaintiffs are the agents of Lin more and Co., of Quebec, who, in September,' 1846, lent the captain of the ship Auckland (which was damaged in cargo of timber from Quebec, and obli g ed t o c p a u r t ryilg a back) i £1,676, for the repairs of the ship. The ship afterwards, on her voyage home, struck on a reef of rocks, but was subsequently got off much damaged. To secure the money advanced to him the captain hypothecated the ship ; but, as no premium had been charged for the money lent on 11,1, Le ovenanted that the bark on her voyage home sllguld h e at the risk of the owner, and that the sum advanced for th repairs of the ship should be reco verable from the cwu er. The vessel was abandoned as a total loss, end the plaintiffs having insured for their in terest in h( r , th e n a i n quest i on was whet h er t h e plaintiffs had an insurable interest in the ship. The Court were of opinion that the master had no authority to pledge the personal credit of the owners, and that under th e t erms o f the i nstrument o f hypothecation the plaintiffs had not an insurable interest in the ship. The verdict must, therefore, be entered for the defendant. Rule absolute to enter the verdict for the defendants. in the case of " the Baron de Haber v. the Queen of Portugal," which has been recently argued before the Court of Queen's Bench, judgment has been delivered by Lord Campbell, making the rule absolute for a prohibition to the Court of the Lord Mayor of the city of London, prohibiting it from further proceeding in the suit which was instituted in thrt court. CENSUS ENUMERATORS.—At the Whitechapel County Court, London, on Tuesday, Mr. Cohen made an appli cation fora summons out of district, under the following circumstances :—The plaintiff is an accountant, and was engaged as an enumerator of the census in the Whitecha pel district. The emolument he was to receive for these state services was 18s. for the first 300 names, and is. for each sixty names he recorded over the 300. The Home Secretary now refused to pay them for the fractional part of the sixty names. For instance, he had got ten names short of the sixty, which fifty would amount to tenpence, and that was disallowed. He now applied for a summons against the Secretary of State for the Home Department for tenpence, and which would, he imagined settle the question of his colleagues' claims. Mr. Cohen then took his summons out, and to ensure the defendant's appear ance, a subpoena for Sir George Grey, which, if he fails appearing to, will entail a fine of £lO. In the Arches Court, on Friday week, Sir H. J. Fust gave judgment in the "cause of office," promoted by the Rev. G. Madan against the Rev. John Seton Karr, Vicar of Berkeley, Gloucestershire, charging the latter with adultery, lewd behaviour, drunkenness, and other crimes, utterly inconsistent with the office of a clergyman. The charge of adultery related to the case of Mrs. Gaisford, for which an action of damages was brought at the last Gloucestershire assizes, when it will he remembered a special jury, after considering their verdict for five hours and a half, were dismissed, beizg unable to agree. Sir H. J. Fust did not consider the charge satisfactorily proved, though he could not regard it as arising solely out of the jealousy of Mr. Gaisford. With regard to a second charge, concerning Sarah Knight, the learned judge could not give credence to the woman's version on one band, or of the husband on the other ; and there was no other evidence on which the court could rely in sup port of that part of the case. The charges of habitual drunkenness and swearing rested on the testimony of dis carded servants, and was rebutted by others, who denied that any thing of the sort ever occurred. COURT AND FASHION. -*- The Prince of Wales and Prince Alfred, attended by Mr. Birch, visited the Exhibition on Wednesday. The Queen gave a concert on Wedneiday evening at Buckingham Palace, to which a party of upwards of 300, comprising the Royal Family, foreign princes, the diplo matic corps, and a urge circle of the principal nobility were invited. The Queen held a levee on Wednesday in St. James's Palace. The Court was more numerously attended than any levee for several years past. The Queen wore a train of white watered silk chenee with gold and green and silver. The train was t r im me d with tulle and white satin ribbons, and was ornamented with diamonds. The petti coat was of white satin and tulle, with satin ribbons to correspond. Her Majesty's head-dress was formed of emeralds and diamonds. Some rich dresses of Eastern costume were worn by natives of the East attending the levee. The Earl of Roden presented an Address, signed by 50,000 Protestant subjects in Ireland, against Papal aggression, and praying that any measure adopted for Great Britain on the subject may be extended to Ireland. Also to the same effect from the Dean and Clergy of Ardagh, and from a public meeting held at Belfast. The Earl Nelson presented a petition, signed by 2,000 clergy and laity of the Church of England, praying that all ques tions touching doctrine, arising on appeals, or in her Majesty's temporal Courts, may hereafter be referred to the spirituality of 'the Church of England ; and, further, that her Majesty will be pleased to remove the impedi ments which now obstruct the exercise of the ancient synodical functions of the Church. At her Majesty's levee, on Wednesday last, the following, among other presentations, were made .—Mr. Henry Grenfell, by his father, Mr. Charles Pascoe Grenfell, M.P. ; Mr. J. Leyland Fielden, by Mr. James Heywood, M.P. ; Sir J. Kay Shuttleworth, on being created a baronet, by the Duke of Argyle; Mr. T. Percival Heywood, on being appointed High Sheriff of Lancashire, by the Earl of Car lisle. DRAWING-ROOM.—Her Majesty held a drawing-room, on Saturday, at St. James's Palace, on the occasion of her birthday anniversary. Her Majesty arrived at St. James's Palace, with her usual punctuality, precisely at two o'clock, and was received, on her arrival at the garden gate of the palace, by the band of the 2d Life Guards with the National Anthem. The first proceeding after her Majesty's arrival was the reception of the bishops in the royal closet, when his Grace the Archbishop of Canterbury, as-tile spiritual head of the National Church, delivered, on behalf of his episcopal brethren and him self, a congratulatory address on the auspicious event which the day was set apart especially to celebrate, and which was most graciously acknowledged by her Majesty. The Prince of Leiningen and Prince Edward of Saxe Weimar, then entered the Throne-room, and took their station in front of the throne. Her Majesty's dress was white, the material silk, beautifully embroidered with• silver; it was trimmed with silver blonde, and ornamented with diamonds. The petticoat was of white satin, with tulle and white satin ribbons. The head-dress was diamonds and feathers, and a wreath of blue corn flowers. In all the state receptions this year the Queen has gene- . rally worn some flower or blossom which was either an emblem of the season or is bloom at the time; and at this, the last and crowning state reception of the season, the blue corn flower was worn by her Majesty, and this flower was not only worn as a wreath for the head-dress, but also ornamented the train. The Queen has signified her intention of accepting the invitation of the Lord Mayor of London to a grand ban quet, to be given in the Guildhall on the 2d of July. AMATEUR THEATRICALS AT DEVONSHIRE HOUSE.— The second amateur performance for the benefit of the Guild of Literature and Art took place on Tuesday, at Devonshire House. On this occasion Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton's play of " Not so Bad as we Seem" was re-pro duced, and received with the applause which it deserved, by a numerous and fashionable audience. As on the previous occasion, the scene in which Mr. Dickens, as. Lord Wilmot, personates the features of the publisher Curti was most admired, and certainly the author of " Pickwick" showed wonderful versatility of talent in changing the intonation and manner of Lord Wilmot to that of the vulgar and greedy publisher. This versatility, however, was still more wonderfully shown afterwards by Mr. Dickens, in the farce of " Mr. Nightingale's-Diary," a trifle which had been produced for the occasion by the joint efforts of himself and Mark Lemon. Mr. Costello acted the part of Mr. Nightingale. That gentleman has been married to a lady twenty years ago, and separated a year after marriage, and though his wife has been dead for several years, he continues to pay her allowance to the lady's brother, who has not thought fit to reveal the death of his sister. Mr. Nightingale , proceeds to Malvern for his health, and keeps a diary of the symp toms which affect him—symptoms which he hopes to get rid of by the water cure. At the watering-place, how ever, he is preceded by Gabbleteig, the suitor of Miss Nightingale, who deplores the obduracy of the fathers in general, and of Nightingale in particular, who has the audacity to refuse him the hand of his daughter. Night ingale's reason for refusing Gabbletvig Mies Nightingale's hand is that Mr. Gabbletvig talks too much and too well, and does too little. Gabblewig, however, redeems his cha racter at Malvern by spiritedly countermining the attempts of the late Mrs. Nightingale's brother, who, under various disguises, endeavours to impose on the fears and gullibility of the old gentleman. Gabblewig, by a series of disguises, defeats all the successful swindles that are invented against Nightingale, who consents at last to the union of his daughter with her lover. Mr. Dickens, in the divers disguises he assumes during the farce shows how well he can assume different characters, rivalling Levas sor in varying his features, Matthews in the glibness of his speech, and Bouffe in the mode of imitating age. Mark Lemon as the " do" was admirable, and Mr. Cos tello capital as the quack. A ball followed the perform ance,. which delighted all present. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE, The Archbishop of Canterbury is about erecting, at his own cost, a new district church at Broad-green. The Rev. J. E. Gladstone has been presented with a handsome testimonial from the Norwich Operative Pro testant Association. The successful candidate for the Great Exhibition Prize Essay, given by the Rev. Dr. Emerton, of Hanwell Col, lege, is the Rev. I. C. Whish, incumbent of East Peck- ham, Kent, son of General Sir W. S. Whish, K.C.8.,. of the Bengal army—the hero of Moulton. The Plymouth Herald states that in one of the dean eries near Exeter, only seven clergymen attended the ruridecanal meeting, out of thirty-five who comprise the entire district. In another thirteen attended, and the result of their deliberation was a resolution to do nothing in the matter of the diocesan Synod, seven voting for the motion and six against it. A marriage was recently celebrated at the parish church, Cheltenham, in which two clergymen officiated in the absence of the incumbent, the Rev. F. Close, who, desi rous of showing his feelings in reference to the circum stances, published in Tharsday's Times the following disclaimer:—" Sir,—Will you oblige me by allowing me to say that a marriage recently announced in your columns as performed in the parish church of Cheltenham by two clergymen, after the modern and unauthorized fashion, was so performed in my absence, and without my know ledge or consent. " . . FOREIGN AID SOCIETY.—The annual meeting of this society was held on Wednesday, at the Hanover-square I Rooms, the Duke of Argyle in the chair. There were also present the Earl of Waldegrave. the Hon. A. Kinnaird, in opening the business of the day, explained the origin and progress of the society, and its The &c " n a o n b d le a chairman,deputationfrom the Foreign Branches Society. connection with similar societies in Belgium, Switzerland, &c. Its income varied from X 2,500 to £3,500 per annum. He then gave a short history of the Reformation in Eng land and Scotland, and made some allusions to the efforts of the Papacy, and having stated his views on that subject, observed that although minor differences might exist amongst those whom he addressed, they were all united in great principles, and in the great work of Christianity could act together. The report was then read, detailing an account of various missions, viz., to Lisbon and to Piedmont, of the SociitlEvangile de Geneve, with a state ment of various expenses, and of the distribution of the Scriptures, the establishment of schools, &c. It appeared that the exertions of the Socieff Evan pile had been very successful, and that its benefits were being very satisfac torily diffused at Paris, at Rouen, at Elbceuf, at Lyons, and at other places. The whole income of the Foreign Aid Society last year amounted to £2,293, less by £220 than that of the previous year, Jane 3, 1851• THE COMING MEETING OF THE NATIONAL SOCIETY. —The resolution which has been already widely circulated by the Rev. Edward Girdlestone, will be moved at the annual meeting of the National Society to morrow (Wed nesday), by Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P., and seconded by Sir John Pakington, Bart., M.P. The meeting will be held in the central school-room, Fanctuary, Westmin ster. The doors will be open at twelve o'clock, and the chair taken at one o'clock punctually. It is very impor tant that all who sympathise with the above resolution should meet at Fendall's Hotel, Old Palace-yard, at ten o'clock on the morning of the meeting. THE EXETER SYNOD.—The following are the matters which will be considered at the Diocesan Synod to be holden (God willing) in the Cathedral at Exeter, on Wednesday, 25th June next. "A declaration of adherence to the article of the Nicene Creed I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins', and especially to the doctrines of the Catholic Church, and the articles and formularies of our own - Church, on the spiritual grace given to infants in the holy sacrament of baptism. A declaration of adherence generally to the doctrine and discipline of the Church of England, as now set forth in the Articles of Religion, and in the Book of Common Prayer ; and of our firm belief that secession from our Church, being a sound branch of the Catholic Church, to any other religious community, is an act of schism ; and► in particular, that secession to the Church of Rome in volves the abandonment of truth for error, and is peril ous to salvation. A declaration against the recent schis matical assignment of a Bishopric of Plymouth by the Pope." The clergy of the diocese of Exeter, to the number of forty-four, have entered their formal protest against the Synod intended to be held by the Bishop of that diocese in June. The heads of protest may be thus briefly summed up :—That the said Synod is opposed to the spi rit'of the constitution of the Church, and quite unprece dented ; that the declaration intended to be issued at the Synod is totally uncalled for ; that the said Synod will not be one free for discussion ; that such Synod, having no. power of itself, would be futile,- and only have the ap pearance of schismatic interference. _ C —° m n all W partsedn e Wednesday CHURCH t and R e laymen raar. from at Freemasons' Tavern, t o concer t measures f or t h e es tablishment of a M e t ro p o lit an A ssoc i at i on, hav i ng for its object some alterati on o f th e P rayer- b ook and a reform o f the National Church.

The meeting pledged itself " to endeavour to carry out the glorious Reformation to its legitimate development ;" to " clear the Church of England from every ground or pretext for Romish teaching in all matters of mere ceremonial to seek " general union rather than strict unity," to promote " a comprehension of Evangelical Nonconformist Christians," to promote a revision of the Prayer Book, and to remove abuses of Church propertl and patronage.—London paper. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. It is stated that Sir Thomas Hesketh and Mr. Townley Parker will be brought forward by the Notectionists for North Lancashire at the next election. Mr. Crawford, Free-trader, was returned for Harwich on Wednesday, by a majority of six over Mr. Prinsep. Not a flag, banner, or favour was to be seen during the election. Mr. Cardwell, Mr. Brown, Sir T. B. Birch, Mr. Henry, Mr. Heywood, Sir P. E ger t on , Mr. J. Tollemache, Mr- Heyworth, Mr. W. Jackson, Mr. Thornely,. and Sir J. Walmsley voted against Mr. Baillie's motion relative to Ceylon. Lord J. Manners, W. E, Gladstone, Col. Peel, &c., voted in favour of it. Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart., has so far succeeded in winning the approbation of the freeholders of his native county by the publication of his pamphlet, as-to become their choice (in place of Mr. T. Brand, one of the present members), as protectionist candidate at the next general election, and will be returned without opposition. The Times justifies the attack of the mob on the pro tectionist party, at Tamworth as provoked by their hold ing a meeting " with the view of insulting the memory of a great statesman over whom the grave had but recently closed." According to our peaceful contemporary they , " richly deserved t o f ee l th e consequences of their fol l y ' in deliberately going to " insult the feelings of a com munity which, but for such provocation, would have re mained in order and peace." Curious arguments these ! The fourth monthly soirée pf the National Reform Association, which was held on Monday night at the London Tavern, was a rather remarkable demonstration. Sir Joshua Walmsley, the president, expressed his regret that the association had not been supported by the public with the zeal which its great objects should have elicited; but hopes were expressed that, as Lord John Russell has now promised a Parliamentary Reform Bill, the peo ple would in time bestir themselves, sofas to secure a large and efficient measure. Mr. Cobden, for the first time, presented himself at the meetings-of the association. — Mercury. PußLic BUSINESS.—Lord J. Russell stated, on Friday, that on Friday next he should move that the house. at its rising, should adjourn to the Thursday following, and for leave to bring in two bills—one to improve the adminis tration of justice in the Court of Chancery and in the Judicial Committee of Privy Council, and the other to regulate the salaries of the Chief Justice of the Court of Queen's Bench, and the Chief Justice of the Court 0 ' Common Pleas. On Monday, he should propose to sub stitute the name cif Mr. Labouchere for that of Mr. Fox Maule on the Kaffir committee;. and when the Ecclesias tical Titles Bill had passed through committee—(alao ] ) —he should take the committee on the Jewish Disabilities Bill. He also proposed to take the committee of supplY on Thursday and Friday, the 12th and 13th of June. lsLig OF WIGHT ELECTION.—SUDDIIN DEATH."—Au 4. the final close of the poll, on Tuesday, the numbers were —Mr. Dawes (free trader), 565 ; Mr. Hammond (protec tionist), 519 ; majority, 46. The excitement was very great during the day. The police were using their trun cheons right and left, seemingly without any object other than the breaking of heads. At half-past five on Monday afternoon one man had been taken home on a stretcher , and others bruised, and the police had retired to the sta tion-house. Mr. Cole, a highly -respectable solicitor In. Hyde, who had been for some time under medical treat— ment, and was entreated by his medical adviser not to, interfere in the election, was employed by the protection ist party, and he could not resist the temptation of inter fering. On Monday he left the Town-hall, where the voting was going on, and as it was rumoured that he Wa g ' going after voters, he was followed and pelted with rotten' eggs. To avoid the mob he ran into the kitchen of Ad miral Christ an, and up stairs into the drawing-room , where he instantly dropped down dead. This gentlemen : had been for some time l a b our i ng un d er di sease o f the heart, and had been cautioned by his medical adviser t°' keep quiet.

THE GREAT ANTI-PAPAL LEAGUE.—The Morel Advertiser states that this league, consisti ng o f member ( of parliament, distinguished laymen, and clergymen % all evangelical Protestant denominations, to which /! have, on several former occasions, referred, as being 1 1 1 1 the course of formation, is now virtually organised, l e t will speedily commence vigorous op era ti ons .

MO Romisn LIRERTY.—Mr. Chisholm Matey, a 11 ,,.. ° AeS Catholic, stated in the debate on the Ecclesiastical 1',." ‘ , 0 , Bill, that he paid little attention to declarations lie Romish ecclesiastics. He said that the Roman Cath° lo in reference to property, knowing clergy of Beverley memorialised Cardinal Wise n3 .ll against the recent papal rescript, and deprecated, ;1 6 spiritual interference with the civil rights of indivicit t arising . from such interference: they deprecated any p l o us foreign system of ecclesiastical legislation as obnoS e , to their feelings, and hateful to the millions around th. 9,: and they implored the cardinal to oppose the establi,;:e went of any spiritual court which might be liable t 0 l i n imputation of such undue influence, such courts being a s England held in utter abhorrence.
