procrebings in farliamtnt. • HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. Sir R. Peel took the oaths and his seat for the borough of Tamworth. The hon. baronet was introduced by Mr. Goulburn and Mr. Cardwell. Mr. Baron ROTHSCHILD was introduced once more by Mr. Page Wood and Mr. John A. Smith, and was informed by the Speaker that he might take the oaths on the Old Testament, as the form most binding on his conscience. lie then repeated the oaths after the clerk at the table, in a clear and audible voice, until he came to the words "on the true faith of a Christion," when he said,—" 1 omit these words, `on the true faith of a Christian.' as not binding on my conscience;" and then he kissed the Bible. The SPEAKER directed the hon. member to withdraw. Mr. HUME, amidst great excitement, said that Baron Roths child was sworn, and was entitled to take his seat. The SPEAKER said the hon. member had not taken the whole of the oaths as prescribed by law, and he had, therefore, ordered him to withdraw. Sir F. THESIGER then moved that Baron Lionel de Roths child having refused to take the oaths as prescribed by law, Mr. Speaker be directed to issue a new writ for the City of London. Sir A. brows seconded the motion. IVI r. P. WOOD moved as an amendment, "That the seat is _ _ Mr. B. OSBORNE seconded the motion After a debate and a desultorydiscussion, the House divided, and Mr. Page Wood's amendment was negatived by a majority -of 221 to 117. Sir F THESIOER consented to allow his motion to be nega tived without a division, on the understanding that the Attor ney-General, aided by Lord John Russel, would frame resolu tions upon the subject, which should be brought forward on Thursday. PARLIAMENTARY VOTERS (IRELAND) BILL.—LORDS' AMENDMENTS.—Lord J. RUSSELL proposed a £l2 franchise. his lordship alluded to the Mayo election as a proof of the necessity for extending the franchise. The whole number of electors brought to the poll on that occasion was 250. He would agree to the omission of the second clause, but proposed to dissent from the omission of clauses 18, 19. and 21, and lie also objected to the Lord's amendment requiring the elector to claim the franchise before being placed on the registry. After a debate on a division, the ...t•l2 franchise was carried by a majority of 213 to 91. The House again divided upon the question that the com pulsory registration clauses be restored to the bill, which was carried in the affirmative by a majority of 179 to 109. The other amendments of the Lords were agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS.--WEDNESDAY. Mr. ALCOCIE moved that the House go into committee on the Sunday trading Bill. Mr. ANSTEY moved as an amendment that the honse resolve itself into committee on the bill this day three months. Sir Gsn. GREY said the bill would effect considerable gond, and he hoped the house would deal fairly with the measure. Mr. Htr ME held it to be imp'ssible to make the IN ople re ligious by acts of Parliament, and he, therefore, objected to the bill as one coercive of people's consciences. Mr. SPOONER said the bill was intended to protect the fair against the unfair trader, and would effect much good. Mr. T. BUNCOMBE said the house had done mischief enough in the case of the post-office, without seeking to effect still further mischief by passing this bill. Tne house divided—For the adjournment of the debate, 36; against it. 71; Majority against adjournment, 37. After some further discussion Mr. Anstey withdrew his amendment, and the hit it. elf was afterwards withdrawn. On the motion for the second reading of the Landlord and Tenants (Ireland) Bill, Mr. REYNOLDS condemned the bill as an audacious, insulting, tyrannical and Algerine measure for Oppressing the tenantry of Ireland. Mr. G. HAMILTON was willing, if the house would allow the bill to go into committee, to be content with taking only those • portions of it which would prevent tenants from cutting their crops on Sunday with the fraudulent intention of defrauding the landlord of his rent. Mr. ANSTEY could not accept the compromise, and after some further discussion the debate was adjourned. On the order of the day for taking the Lords' amendment to the County Courts Extension Bill into consideration, Mr. FITZKOY said he would agree to the amendments, though he highly disapproved of some of them, but rather than risk the bill at that late period of th" session he would suffer it to pass. The amendments were then agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TnurtsnAy. The Lords' amendments to the Australian Colonies' Govern ment Bill were agreed to. In reply to a question from Mg. HUME. Lord PALMERSTON said that the amount of the British Claims against Tuscany was about el5OO, and they arose out of the ransacking of the houses of British subjects in Leghorn by Austrian troops in the pay of the Tuscan government, al though those houses were marked on the outside as the resi dence of British subjects. On going into committee on the Duke of Cambridge's An muitv Bill, Mr. HUME moved that the annuity be fixed at 4'10,000, instead of al2,ooo.—This gave rise to a long debate, but Lord J. RUSSELL positively refused to make any conces sion. and the original and larger sum was carried by a majority of 105 to 76. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL then gave notice that on Monday le would move the two following resolutions : " That the Baron Lionel Nathan de Rothschild is not enti tled to vote in this house, or to sit in this house daring any debate, until he shall take the oath of abjuration in the torm appointed y law. That this house will, at the earliest opportunity in the next session of parliament, take into its serious consideration the form of the oath of abjuration with a view to relieve her Ma jesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion." HOUSE OF LORDS.--FRIDAY. Lord BROUGHAM repeated his censures upon the parties engaged in forwarding the industrial exhibition, and especially upon the Attorney-general whose refusal to sanction an appli cation for an injunction in Chancery he pronounced unwar rantable. The LORD CHANCELLOR maintained that the conduct of that learned functionary had been strictly in aci ordance with law, which Lord littotrattAm admitted, but questioned its accordance pith discretion. The noble and learned lord then moved for a return of the amount of the savings since 1838 from the salaries paid out of the Civil List to the officers of her Majesty's household. Entering at much length into a variety of details respecting the personnel and management of the domestic and state at tendants on royalty ; the noble lord submitted that their con trol and remuneration should be placed more immediately within the range of parliamentary supervision. The Marquis of LANSDOWNE renrobated any interference with the Civil List, which was founded upon a formal cove nant by the legislature, and could riot bebrought into question without establishing a dangerous precedent and endangering the independence of the Crown. The Duke of WELLINGTON also deprecated any infringe ment of the strict term of the bargain made between the country and the sovereign, and from which the country had so largply profited. _ _ _ Lord M ONTEAGLE regretted that such a motion had been made in that house. He pointed out that the Civil List was mot a grant, but a bargain, given in consideration of the sur render of revenue of much larger value. Proceeding into a history of the existing settlement of the Civil List and the royal properties, he contended that the result had been more advantageous to the national exchequer than to the royal purse. Lord Ilaoun HAM, in reply, remarked that similar objections lad been urred long since when he recommended a parlia mentary supervision over the receipts of the Admiralty droits, yet these droits were now allowed to be under the control of the legislature, very much to the advantage of the nation. After some further conversation, however, the noble lord with drew his motion, and the subject dropped. On the motion of Earl GRANVILLE, the Mercantile Marine Bill was read a second time, and referred to a select committee. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. AMERICA. ARRIVAL OF THE HIBERNIA. The Royal Mail Steam-ship Hiberni a , Captain Lang, arrived here on Sunday afternoon. She left Boston on the 24th ult., and Halifax on the 26th, and has made the shortest passage she ever accomplished. She brought fifty passengers, and a small box of specie. The America steam-ship arrived at New York on the 20th ult. Her commander, Captain Shannon, received from the passen gers a silver pitcher. The American steam-ship Atlantic arrived at New York on the 21st ult. in three hours less than eleven days, being - the quickest run accomplished outwards direct. The steam-ship Asia arrived at Halifax on the 22d ult. in eight days twenty-two hours from Liverpool, not allowing for difference of time. The steam-ship Sarah Sands arrived at San Francisco on the sth June. The new Cabinet under the administration of President Fillmore was completed. It consists of Daniel Webster, Secretary of State ; Corwin, Secretary of the Treasury ; Pearce, Secretary of the Interior ; Bates, Secretary of War ; Chittenden, Attorney-General ; and Hall, Post master-General. The delegate to Congress from New Mexico had been refused a seat in the house by a majority of 11 votes. The treaty with Mexico relative to the Tehuantepec route had been completed with provisions similar to those of the Nicaragua treaty. _ _ . It hiic: been decided to execute Professor Webster on the 30th ult. There was no hope of a commutation. On the 22nd ult. the death warrant was read to him. He was perfectly calm and said, " God's will be done, I am reconciled to my fate." _ _ Accounts from Toronto of the 18th ult. mention that the members of the Canadian Ministry proposed to reduce their own official salaries to the following rates.:—The two Attorneys- General,3.6oo dols. each; Provincial Secretary, Commissioner of Public Works, and Receiver-General, 3,000 dols. each ; the two Solicitors-General, 2,400 dols. each. The Cuban Question, we learn, had received a final solu tion ; accounts had been received from Havana of the prisoners having been released. They were shortly ex pected in the United States. From Kingston, Jamaica, we have advices to the 15th ult., being seven days later than those brought to South ampton by the Dee. From De Cordova's Intellipeneer we learn that a better feeling had sprung up, consequent on the supposition that arrivals for some weeks would be to a limited extent. Holders therefore refrained from pressing their stocks on the market. The weather was exceedingly hot, with occasional showers of rain. • COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, JULY 23. The continued high rates of foreign exchange prevented operations in them except for actual payment, and there does not appear to be much prospect of lower rates at present, although no advance is anticipated. We quote London 1104 to 1101; Paris, 5 22f to 5 214 ; Hamburgh, 35j to 36; Bremen, 80; Amsterdam, 40f to 40. _ _ _ Cotton.—burlast review was per Europa, the 16th instant. The sales effected from the 16th to the 19th amounted to 4,900 bales, at full previous quotations. On the 19th the America's news was received by telegraph, and 1,500 bales were sold at fully old rates to *d. tit the same time, there was generally a feeling of disappointment at the moderate advance obtained in Lirerpool, in view of the unfavourable position of the growing crop, as advised from this side, and the favourable state of trade and diminishing stocks held abroad. Breadstuffs.—Floui: and Wheat steady, with rather more doing, including the usual variety of domestic brands, at about the same rates. Sales of Canadian were light, and the stock in first hands reduced; holders were asking better prices. Beyond a lot of Gennesee Wheat, we heard of no sales of moment. Corn sold pretty freely at about previous rates, including low and high mixed, with some parcels of round. There was no change in Rye or Oats. Iron.—The market for forehrn Iron is firm, Scotch pig being 320 to 320 50c.; English, 336. The market for American Iron is dull. Freights.—The amount offering is not large, and we have no alteration in rates. Cotton to Liverpool, ie.,. Flour and Meal, 9(1.; heavy goods, 9s. to 10s. ; Grain, 3s. To Havre, Ashes, -84 to .85.

NEW YORK, JULY 25TH, 1850. The new Government, with Daniel Webster as Secre tary of State, is regularly installed. General Scott is acting as Secretary of War, and Commodore Warrington as Secretary of the Navy, until the intended occupants of those offices arrive in Washington. President Fillmore's selection, for chief departments, appears to give general satisfaction. The damage done by the recent gale, along the south 7 em coast, is beginning to be developed. Government sixes, of '67, at 114: of '6B, with cou pons, 1161. There has been a large business done in cotton since the Hibernia's letters were written, with prices gradually hardening. Rates now paying show an advance o. about of a cent. There is more flour offering. Western Canal, 5d 61c to 5d 25c. ; Canadian in bond, 5d to 5d 121 c. Some rather large shipments making. Indian corn, nothing doing for export ; western mixed, 62c to 63c ; yellow. 63c to 64c. Exchange, 10 to 10/. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. Mr. HUME gave notice that on Monday he should move amendments to the resolutions to be then proposed by the Attorney• General relative to Baron Rothschild, to the following effect: That the member for London having taken the oaths of allegiance, supremacy, and abjuration, as directed by the house, in the form most binding to his conscience, could not be liable to any penalties but such as might be imposed under the statutes in a court of law. And that next session the house would seriously consider the oath of al juration, with a view to meet the case now before them, and to make all the oaths more con sistent with the changes which have taken place since the pas sing of the acts by which they were enacted. 'the second reading of the Crime and Outrage (Ireland) Act Continuance Bill having been moved, Mr. J. O'CONNELL observed that the bil! being one of pains and penalties should have originated in that, and not in the upper, house. . . . - the SPEAKER ruled that the objection was tenable. and Lord J. RUSSELL said that the measure should be at once - withdrawn ; moving immediately afterwards for leave to intro duce a new bill. M r. HUME considered the measure unnecessary while Ireland was so perfectly quiescent. In reply to Mr. Ileathcote, Sir G. G REY stated that it was notthe intention of the govern ment to bring in, during the present session, any bill for the removal of Smithfield-market. In answer to a question from Mr. STANFORD, Sir G. GREY gave a similar disclaimer of any intention to propose a measure restricting or regulating the sale of poisons. Lord R GROSVENOR having presented a petition from some practitioners of homcepathy, complaining of the conduct of the deputy coroner for Middlesex, iIr:WAKLEY, on the motion for going into committee of supply, took the opportunity to defend the deputy coroner and retorted the charge of misconduct upon the homcepathic pro fessors, whom he designated quacks, and accused of a design to advertise their system through the •medium of the House of Commons. The house then went into committee of-supply. Shortly after midnight, the passing of the last vote of supply for the present year was hailed with much cheering. HOUSE OF COMMONS-SAnyaDAY. On the motion for bringing up the report of the committee of supply, Mr. Hum pursuant to notice, .called the attention of the house to the publication and distribution of the historical -work called Monumenta Historiea Britannica, the price of which, he contended, should be reduced to the public. Atter a few observations from Mr. C. Lewis, Colonel Sibthorp, Mr. Bernal, and Mr. G. Thompson, th e subject •droop 0: On bringing up the report of the committee on ways and means, Mr. 'HuskE informed the house that, if he should live till next session, he would reigiouslv attend to the estimates, and refuse all votes that were proposed after twelve o'clock at alight. He should decline totting in any . committee, in order that he might be in his place every night to watch closely the financial proceedings of the government, and he therefore took the opportunity of giving them notice to be prepared in future with early and accurate accounts. He advised them to reconsider their estimates and •cut the votes .down to the lowest figure, or they would find in him a rigorous and uncompromising opponent, but one always ready to .agree to those supplies which the wants of the public service abso lutely required. Mr. BROTH BETON said it was his intention also to turn over a new leaf, as he found that when he gave the governmeat an inch they took an ell; and he should propose the first -thing siert session, that the Speaker do leave the chair every night at twelve o'clock, believing that course would induce lion. members who-were fond of .speakipg to economise time, and way more attention to the real business of the house. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER explained, that th e house had got in its possession already both a detailed account and a summary of the whole accounts. Mr. Comm( thought that many of those works which had been begun in times .of panic should be abandoned and dis continued as soon as possible. A sum of £513,000 was asked for to complete the harbour of refuge and other works at Alderney, a sum which would buy that island twice over. Mr. fizN,LEv suggested that there should be a provision for the inspection of those works from time to time. The subject then dropped, and the report was agreed to. The Grand Jury Cess (Ireland) Bill was read a third time and Passed. The Fees (Court of Common Pleas, No. 29 Bill was also read a third time and passed. The National Gallery (Edinburgh) Bill passed through committee. The Spitalfields and Shore ditch New Street Bill was read a second time. NEW Ifousz OF COMMONS. — The lowering of the ceiling of the new chamber decidedly facilitates the trans mission of sound, but at the sacrifice of whatever beauty or symmetry the hall could beast of. The windows, the most elegant features of the chamber, are cut in two, an d deprived of their fair proportions. So much has been gained by the loweri ng o f the ceiling, that hon. members cart DOW make themselves heard in the report ter? gallery, CALIFORNIA. From San Francisco, California, we have accounts to the 18th June, of a very important character, received at Panama, on the 6th ult.. hv the stp.m_.l,4, widen had on board £26,000 value of gold dust on freight. Another destructive conflagration had occurred at San Francisco, which destroyed property to the value of £1,000,000 sterling. New discoveries of gold had been made, and also in Oregon. The San Francisco Herald, of the Ist, says, " The news which will be conveyed to the United States by this steamer is of absorbing and painful interest. The disaster that has laid in ashes the most thriving and wealthy portion of our city is the most important item of intelligence. We rejoice to be able to state that the enterprise of our citizens, although it has received a severe check by the fire of Friday last, has, nevertheless, not succumbed. One hour and a half after the fire had been subdued we saw carpenters busily em ployed relaying the foundation of a building that had been torn down but two hours before; and various con tracts to have buildings immediately erected had been even then concluded by some of those who suffered hea vily by the fire, so indefatigable is the enterprise of our people. Artesian wells will be sunk, reservoirs con structed, and engine companies organised. " The intelligence from the mines is of such a nature as to prove that there will be a greater quantity of gold dug out this summer than ever before. We scarcely know which valley, the San Joaquin or the Sacramento, has sent out the richest specimens; but the gold comes from both regions in sufficient quantities to prove that there was but little extravagance in the assertion that the ore is inexhaustible. It has been found, too, as far north as Oregon, and as far south as the mountains near Los Angeles. There appears to be a ridge of gold bearing quartz running the whole length of the country, almost north and south. The ore has been found richer in the mountains of Los Angeles than even in the mines of Mariposa. We have seen large masses from both localities. As found in the former place, it will require the employ ment of science and machinery ; the one to direct opera tions, the other for grinding the rock ; and with these two agents engaged it will afford, from the immense quantity that exists, sufficient employment and compensation to three-fourths, at least, of all the superfluous labour of the United States. " Business has been drooping for some time past in all our principal cities. In Stockton the merchants ascribe this depression, in some measure, to the operation of the law requiring foreigners to purchase licenses. The law was, as might be expected, extremely unpopular amongst that class of miners. Latterly they have become more reconciled to its operations, and have, in most instances, we believe, returned to their work. The law will become a nullity as soon as the act of Congress admitting Califor nia into the Union shall become officially known to our state authorities. " The recent murder of Glanton's party by the Yumas, at the mouth of the Gila, has caused an order to issue for a detachment of United States troops to proceed to that point for the protection of emigrants, and for the punish ment of the murderers. Captain Lyon has also proceeded to the head waters of the Sacramento to investigate the particulars of Captain Warner's murder in November last." WEST INDIES. The royal mail steam-ship Dee, with the usual Pacific and West India mails, 56 passengers, and nearly £300,000 of treasure on freight, on merchants' account, arrived at Southampton on Sunday. Our accounts are dated Chagres ; 28th June; Jamaica, 4th July; Demerara, 7th ; Trinidad, Bth ; Barbadoes, 10th ; Grenada, 9th ; St. Thomas', 15th, Laguayra, 7th ; Santa Martha, 21st; and Panama, 26th.

The crops presented an improved appearance, owing to the late rains. _ Aclounts from the northern islands report that, on the I 12th and 13th ult., a violent gale was experienced, which caused great damage. Our report from - Southampton I says :—" The gale of the 12th and 13th of July, visited most of the northern islands with great severity ; and the extent of damage, it is feared, is very great. At Antigua the barometer fell suddenly ; at Gaudaloupe the gale pre vented communication. The following are the particulars of wrecks which occurred :—The Mary Allen was capsized in a squall off Greytown, crew saved. One of Messrs. Shand's ships, lying at Antigua, cut away her masts to ride out the gale. The Osborne, Capt. Cousins, was totally lost, off Dominic(); crew saved. The Catherine, Green. was totally wrecked at St. Kitts, crew saved." From Greytown and Chagres our accounts are also an ticipated. Great preparations were being made for the Isthmus railroad. ROME. Letters from Rome of the 28thinform us of the particulars of the new financial regulations and the disso lution of the Commission of Cardinals. The municipal arrangements are shortly expected to be made public. M. D'Astros is to be added to the new list of cardinals. An impostor styling himself the Prince Gonzaga of Mantua, has been exposed by a declaration from the Austrian Legation at Rome SUPPLY OF PARIS WITH WATER. —Two .companies have recently been formed in Paris for supplying that city with water by pipes to every house, similar to London. This has long' been a desideratum, as the water c.f . the Seine is not lie for domestic use, and the water-carriers are a great tax upon the inhabitants, while they a obliged to manage I.7ith a very insufficient supply. T` I 1 11VARPOOL STANDARD. THE OVERLAND MAIL. The Bombay papers of ,the 25th June and the Calcutta journals of the .15th lave reached London, ‘)y extraordi nary express, in advance of the overland mail. With the exception' of the Nizam's dominions, which are in a dis turbed state, tranquillity continues to prevail throughout our Eastern possessions. Sir Charles Napier will certainly leave India in October : this long circulated rumour is now published as a settled and undisputed fact. Inquiries are to be instituted into the management of the Postoffices at Calcutta, Madras, and Bombay, with a view to their improvement. Mr. Stephenson and his engineering staff have arrived at Calcutta, but finding the plan of the Ben gal railway agreed to by the London board and the Court of Directors impracticable, have proceeded to examine a new line, and to report thereupon, which mint be trans mitted to England for approval before the railway can be commenced. Among the deaths recorded in the Indian papers are Captain Newbold, one of the rrost celebrated geographers in the East, and Doctor Larkworthy, whose exertions in endeavouring to stop the ravages of cholera • are above all praise. The former had been unwell for some time, but the latter was cut off by the disease, which, in very many cases, he had been instrumental in eradicat ing or alleviating. Trade at Bombay was very dull, with no appearance of change for the better. At Calcutta it was a little active, but the charges were so low that scarcely any profit could be realised out of the articles sold. The heavy supplies of goods from England had completely glutted the markets, which rendered their sale not only difficult, but almost impossible, except at ruinous prices. LAW INVTLIAGENCE. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS.-JUNE 24. RATLWAY CO IA PENSATION. HILLCOATIL THE ARCHBISHOPS OF YORK AND CAN TERBURY.—Mr. Justice Allanle read the judgment of the Court, as prepared by the, Lord Chief Justice, in this case. The declaration was in (Aise, and consisted of two counts; the first setting out that, by the act which established the Liverpool and Bury Railway Company, that company was authorised to become the purchasers of St. Matthew's Church, Key-street, Liverpool, and a piece of ground and buildings thereto adjacent ; but that it was provided the company were not to interfere with the church without the-consent of the defendants, upon the previous payment of such a sum of money as they should deem fit to be paid to the plaintiff as a compensation for the same, in ascer taining which sum regard should be had as well to the 'cost of rebuilding a church equally fit for divine service, as to such part of the site as did not form part of the site of the said church. The declaration then alleged a breach of duty in the defendants for not having obtained and paid to the plaintiff any compensation for any part of the ground and buildings which did not form part of the site of the church. The defendants pleaded not guilty. At the trial, before the Lord Chief Justice, it appeared that the value of the ground, &c. attached to the church were estimated by the plaintiff at more than £l5OO, whilst the company, who were in fact the real defendants, contended that, as the ground had been consecrated, it was not worth more than £3OO. No witness was called for the defendants, and the jury returned a 'verdict for the plain tiff, with £1,540 damages. It did not appear to the court that the statute did constitute the defendants' arbi trators as to the value of the property, and they therefore thought the defendants had committed a breach of duty in not paying the plaintiff the value of his land, as fixed by the jury. The court considered there had been no misdirection, for, as the act was passed for withdrawing the land from spiritual to secular purposes, it was but reasonable to suppose that under these circumstances its value should be estimated, as for ordinary . purposes. By the appropriation of property to spiritual purposes, the owner voluntarily sacrificed its value in a secular point of view; but when it was taken from him against his will for secular purposes, it did not seem con sistent with justice that its value should be estimated ac cording to its appropriation to spiritual uses. The Court were therefore of opinion that the plaintiff was entitled to the verdict. Rule discharged. COURT OF CHANCERY, LINCOLN'S -INN, JULY 31. WASON V. WATLING. This was an appeal motion to set aside an injunction granted by the Master of the Rolls, staying execution on a judgment in an action on a covenant. It appeared that in the year 1838, Mr. Charles Bird borrowed the sum of £1,350 on mortgage of some houses in Windsor -street, Toxteth-park, near Liverpool, for the repayment of which the plaintiff Wason became surety. Bird died in 1839. and shortly afterwards Mrs. Rowe, the mortgagee, sold three of the houses for a sum of money nearly equiva lent to the mortgage debt. Instead, however, of appro priating the whole amount in reduction of the mortgage debt, Mrs. Rowe allowed nearly £4OO to get into the hands of the representative of the mortgagor. Some time afterwards Mrs. Rowe pressed the plaintiff for the deficiency, when he entered into a fresh deed for securing the amount of the mortgage debt then unpaid and inter est, amounting to £577 10s. It was upon this last cove nant that the plaintiff was sued at law, when he applied to the Master of the Rolls for an injunction to restrain execution, on the ground that he had been deceived in entering into a fresh security for the whole deficiency after the mortgagee had allowed a portion of the proceeds of the sale of the houses to get into the hands of the repre sentative of the mortgagor without his (Wason's) know ledge. The Master of the Rolls thought the case preg nant with suspicion, and granted the injunction now sought to be dissolved. The Lord Chancellor remarked upon the fact of Wason being a solicitor, and said that could not therefore be looked upon in the same light as an old lady who was ignorant of the proceedings at law and equity. This fact, coupled with the time allowed by Wascn to elapse before coming to that Court, was sufficient to uisentitie him to the extraordinary interposition of the Court by injunction. The order of the Master of the Rolls must be reversed and the injunction dissolved. VICE-CHANCELLOR'S COURT—FRIDAY, (Before Sir .1. K. Bruce.) IN BANKRUPTCY : EX PARTE NEILSON AND OTHERS, IN RE WILLIAM AND THOMAS EDMOND This case, relating to the disposal of lis shares in the Royal Insurance Company of Liverpool, stood over on a former day, in consequence of a difficulty relative to proof of notice to the office of the transfer of shares at a prior date to that of the act of bankruptcy. These shares, part of two hundred allotted to William Edmond, were, during his absence in India, directed by his brother Thomas, holding a power of attorney, to be sold by the petitioners, as brokers, for the benefit of - the firm. 'The commissioner held that, William Edmond not having been duly registered as a shareholder, pursuant to the conditions of the 26th section of the Joint Stock Com panies Regulation Act, 7th and Bth Victoria, c. 114', what had been done relative to the sale of shares had been inoperative, and that the same re Lathed in the hands, and were the property of, the assignees, under the opera tion of the law of order and disposition. His Honour said be was not aware of any authority governing the point, and must, therefore, decide it as well as he could upon principle. The Royal Insurance Com pany was a joint stock company, requiring and obtaining registration under the 7th and Bth Victoria, c.llO. That was done, although all the shares had not been allotted ; and after complete registration, William Edmond re ceived an allotment of 0 shares, upon which the amount required was paid, as also a subsequent call for a further amount of £1 psr share. There existed no certificate, or scrip, or any document, except the letter of allotment and the bankers' receipts for the money payments. This shareholder never executed the deed, and was never regis tered as a shareholder. He, however, by his agent, carried his rights into the market for sale, and so disposed of them. The question now was, if such a contract could be sustained ? The act of parliament said that until " duly registered" it shall not be lawful to sell, that all such alleged sales are void, and the parties liable to a penalty of £lO. It had been contended that this case was not within the operation of the act, because the registration bad been completed before the allotment of these shares ; but it was affected by the policy of the law and against it. It could not be held to be for the public good that rights of this description should be treated as negotiable securities. Whether or not it was immediately struck by the terms of the act, he was of opinion that its operation was adverse to the claim of the petitioners, and he must so decide. If, however, the petitioners wished to take the opinion of a court of law, he should notrefuse the opportunity. Upon application by counsel on behalf of the peti tioners, leave was given fora case to be submitted to the Court of Exchequer, and in the meantime the petition was directed to stand over. LONDON INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT, FRIDAY, AUG. 2.—The Hon. Adolphus Frederick Charles M. Cape!, whose case had been several times before the Court, was now finally heard. There were more than 200 creditors on the schedule, and the debts were very large. The application was made under the Protection Act, and the case was adjourned, without protection, for extrava gance. The insolvent had an allowance of £6OO a year from Lord Maynard, his father-in-law, and £3OO from his brother, the Earl of Essex. He had been some months without protection, but had not been captured by any of his creditors. Mr. Bagley, as counsel for Mrs. Woodhouse, now complained that after he had left last Friday, the Commissioner had granted a protecting order. The Chief Commissioner said he must abide the attacks which might be made on him, conscious that lie had done his duty. Addressing the insolvent, the Commissioner expressed a hope that he would, by the exposure he had brought on himself by his extravagance, say to himself, " I have been a foolish man, I will be a fool no more." The insolvent bowed and retired. He is now protected from proceedings by any of the creditors on his schedule. SINGULAR. CASE.—DUNCAN CAMPBELL PATTERSON V. MRS. ELIZABETH RUSSELL, SPOUSE OF THE SAID D. C. PATTERSON. - ThiS was an-appeal to the House of Lords against two interculators of the first division of the Court of Session in Scotland, which found that the re spondent was entitled to a decree of separation a menscl et thorn from the appellant, her husband, and a suitable alimony. The action was brought by the respondent in May, 1844, against her husband, and concluded for de cree, by which she obtained a separation, and he was ordered to make her an annual payment of .£3OO. The cir cumstances of the case were, that in July, 1843, Elizabeth Russell was married to the appellant, who resided at Lochgan House, in Scotland, the ceremony of marriage being celebrated at St. John's Church, Paddington, Lon don. After being married about six weeks, it was alleged that he conducted himself towards her in the most cruel manner—lived in separate apartments, and failed to dis charge the duties of a husband. He neither spoke to her, held any intercourse with her, nor permitted her to be at any time in his presence, besides preventing all her rela tions and friends from visiting her. She never received the treatment of a wife in any respect; and, finding her life miserable and endangered, quitted her husband's house on the 6th of April, 1844. Several letters written by the appellant were produced, in which he states that he was subject to depression of spirits, which caused him considerable unhappiness, and that as regarded the re spondent, he never had affection for her, either before or after marriage. Lord Brougham, who sat as Deputy- Speaker, thought that the husband withdrawing from the society of his wife, treating her coldly, and denying to co habit with her, though they might be painful circum stances, were not such as to justify the grant of a divorce. The intercuiators of the court below were ordered to be reversed, the question as to costs being reserved. MRS. HALL'S DIVORCE BILL.—In the House of Lords on Friday, Mr. M. D. Hill, with whom was Mr. Hall, stated the case for the second reading of this bill. From his statement, and from the evidence, it appeared that the petitioner, Georgina Hall was the daughter of Mr. Tabor, a gentleman of property residing in Bayswater, Middle sex. She met Mr. Henry Foley Hall at a party at the house of a friend, and there ho proposed marriage to her. She consented, and, without consulting her parents, she met Mr. Hall by appointment on the 10th of Sept. 1848, outside the house of a friend, and they proceeded to Han well Church, where they were marriedi ried n their proper names, and the register of the marriage was duly attested. The parties, with some of the persons who assisted at the marriage, drove from the Church at Hanwell to Richmond, where they spent the day up to eight o'clock in the even ing, and the petitioner was put down at the house of her friend, where she had been taken up in the morning. There was no consummation of the marriage that day, and the petitioner never saw Ler husband since. He went abroad, and in Brussels married another young lady, Henrietta Batchelor, and has been cohabiting with her ever since, treating her as his vife. On the ground of adultery, Mrs. Hall had obtained s divorce a mew: et More in the Ecclesiastical Court, and now prayed to be wholly released from her marriage with Mr. Hall, &c. The learned counsel said there Naere not many cases of wives applying for divorce to their lordships, but there were some quite in point, to which he referred. A great number of witnesses were examined in support of the statement.—Lord Brougham, at the close of the evidence, said the precedents referred to (and which he himself had suggested to the counsel in his opening), were quite in point. There was no decision or intimation of opinion at any time in the house against the relief sought for by a wife in such case. What he would advise their lordships to do here, was to order the evidence to be printed, and postpone the second reading of the bill. Agreed to. On Friday Lord Brougham delivered judgment in favour of the bill being read a second time. He said he wished it to go forth most distinctly that it was not merely because bigamy or polygamy had been committed that this divorce was granted by that house ; but that it was because of the very peculiar circumstances by which the ease was distin guished—namely, that a young lady had been led into a clandestine marriage with a young man who bad returned her to her home and left her on the clay of the marriage; that there had been no consummation of the marriage; and that the husband had, without any further interview or any further communication with that young lady, con tracted another marriage, thereby depriving his first wife of all the comforts and all the enjoyments of domestic life which a young lady in the marriage state had a right to look for. If that husband had committed this felony upon this instead of on the other side of the Channel he would most undoubtedly have beentried, convicted , and punished. Under this state of circumstances, then, he would move that this bill be read a second time. The bill was accord. ingly read a second time and ordered to be committed, and was read a third time on Saturday. Lord Brougham said, he ought to state that he had received a letter from Mr. Hall, denying some of the statements which had been made on the former occasion. At the same time he would for himself say that the most essential facts the husband could not by possibility contradict. THE WAR. IN THE DUCHIES. No change has taken place in the position taken up by the hostile armies in Schleswig-Holstein, after the battle of Istedt. The Holsteiners are making great exertions to resume operations; and the broken wing of their army has succeeded in joining the main body under General Willisen. The victory of the Danes, however, has pro duced an impressive result.; and their triumph is generally believed to be certain. In Haroburgh, where the Schles wig-Holstein cause is extremely popular, the Danish funds have risen, while Schleswig-Holstein paper is not neg•rtiahle. Without the immediate assistance of the German states, of which no sign has yet been given, the Hoisteiners must ere iong succumb. The Danish report of the battle of Idstedt is published. After enumerating the number of various grades killed and wounded, it states that the Danish army is quite ready for action. GeneralWillisen has also published his report of the battle. He is not able to give an accurate return of the killed and wounded. He regrets the num ber of officers killed and wounded. As soon as the loss shall be replaced the army will be ready and powerful for action. Mr. Smith O'Brien is to be removed from Maria Island to Port Arthur. RUSSIA.—The city of Samara has been destroyed by fire ; 33 store and 486 wooden houses were consumed, and about twenty bodies were found. The Rev. Dr. Thomas Jackson, the Bishop nominate of the Canterbury Settlement. New Zealand, is the son of the Rev. Mr. Jackson, the President of the Wesleyan Co n Terence. Letters from Madrid of the 30th ult announce the ar rival there of Lord Howden, the British Minister, on the previous evening, together with the other members of the Legation. General Jose de la Concha is named Cap tain-General of Cuba. General Serrano replaces him as Inspector-Ger.eral of Cavalry. General Manuel de Con cha will probably be named Minister of War, in place of General Figueras, who will be appointed Captain-General of Valencia. DOMESTIC VILLAINY IN AMERICA.—A letter from Baltimore says, " An arrest was made yesterday in this city of a person charged with the seduction of a lady under the most revolting circumstances. The arrest was made by an officer of the sheriff, and for the present their names are withheld. I learn that the gentleman is a young physician, that his victim was the daughter of a physician, residing a short distance from the city. The crime was accomplished by the administration of chloro form. The lady died in childbirth, and with her dying breath assured her father that all knowleti2e as to how or by whom she became pregnant was as deep and unfathom able a mystery to her as it was to him. Shortly before the birth of her child she was brought to this city, under the supposition that she was afflicted with dropsy, and, although the distinguished physician under whose charge she was placed promptly discovered the true cause of her illness, he sent her home with some gentle opiate, without disclosing to her parents or herself the true cause of her trouble. The death occurred some months since ; but the accused has kept out of the way up to the present time."—New York Journal. THE PROSPECTS OF NICARAGUA.—The departure of the steamer Director, for the navigation of the San Juan River, in connection with the steamer Nicaragua, which will ply upon the river of that name, marks the beginning of a new era in the condition of Central America. The preparations for establishing a regular communication from sea to sea are now nearly completed,, and within a few months part of the current which now floods the Isthmus with its semimonthly ebb and flow will give new vitality to the decaying towns of Nicaragua and San Sal vador. The first route will be that from San Juan on the Gulf side to the Bay of San Juan del Sur on the Pacific. The Director, which is a boat of 120 tons burden, and calculated to carry 400 passengers, will run from the port of San Juan to the Castillo Viejo, a distance of 50 miles. Here she will be met by the Nicaragua, (the quondam Orus,) which will convey travellers to the ancient city of Granada, on Lake Nicaragua, and within 15 miles of the Pacific. This route we have already described. The carriages for the last part of it are now being made in Newark. N.J. The elevation to be overcome by the road is but 1000 feet. It is probable, however, that in the be- F • • .rsl.....atcrpriae the port of Realejo will be made the terminus of the line on tho Pacific side. Howard and Son's steamers, as well as those of Law's line, on the Pa cific side, will hereafter touch at Realejo, and the ships of the former company, on this side, will run to San Juan, where they will connect with the river steamers of the Nicaragua Company. It is expected that the line through to San Francisco will be in operation in about two months, when the voyage to California will he shortened by about six days. The next advance on this undertaking will be the construction of the Nicaragua Ship Canal, which is now in a fair way of being started.—New York Herald. MORE WINKERS IN ITALY..-011r friends of the Ro mish church do not appear to be very cognizant of the adage which says ne quid nimis—that too much of any. thing is good for nothing. They have set up their wink ing idol at Rimini, have bidden men to bow to it, have been obeyed, and have rejoiced exceedingly. Great pro fit, pecuniary profit, has ensued, although father Antonio Forci, in a letter now before us, modestly states that " the public prints have exaggerated this, and stated be. yond the truth." In the meantime, the winkers wax daily and are becoming multitudinous. Fossombrone followed Rimini—San Genesia has a winking picture which now rivals both—and Terni boasts a Madonna that winks as intensely as all the preceding put together. The San Genecio Madonna is curing the deaf and dumb, and the people of the district are said to be turning honest and living cleanly in consequence—a fact which, however brought about, we are glad to hear of, only hoping it may be true; for honesty and cleanliness of life were not, heretofore, the characteristics of the district. At Terni, the winking process appears to have been first got up in the private chapel of the bishop. "At Terni (says a correspondent of the Univers), the prodigy takes place in the private chapel of the bishop. After being con vinced, as were a multitude of people, of the reality of the fact, the prelate wrote to the holy father to know what ought to be done ? The Pope replied that the Ma donna should be removed to the cathedral church, and there exhibited to the veneration of the faithful." Father Porci assures us that the same prodigy takes place not only in the localities above named, but, " it is said," at Lago, at St. Arcangelo, at Saint Agata, and at Montba roccio, in Pesaro. The whole peninsula threatens to be overrun with this alleged phenomenon a thousand times repeated.—Church and Slate Gazette. FEARFUL STORM IN AMERICA.—New York has been visited with a terrific gale, which has done fearful damage, and three lives were lost in consequence of the upsetting of a boat. The effects of the storm were everywhere ap parent. Every portion of the city gives evidence of its violence in the destruction of buildings of every descrip tion, shade trees, &c. The shipping suffered much, and several steamers were wrecked. The particulars of da mage, in this respect, will be found detailed below. The ship Elizabeth, from Leghorn to Gibraltar, ran ashore and lost eight of her passengers, including Celesta Paulina, of Rome ; George Bradford, of Germany ; Count and Countess Ossili and child, of Florence. The storm did not confine its ravages to New York, but it spread over almost an indefinite space. From Philadelphia, we learn it was truly awful. Thousands of awnings were wrecked, fruit and shade trees completely uprooted and destroyed ; several houses (finished and unfinished) are entirely de stroyed ; the steam-boat and railway lines disarranged ; the wires of many of the telegraph lines laid on the ground. Amongst the shipping its effects were painfully visible, a great number having been driven on shore, and others sunk or totally wrecked. At Baltimore, also, the gale raged with great violence, and much damage was done. The following British ships, at quarantine at New York, felt the effects of the storm, viz, :—The Ellen, Phillips, master, which dragged her anchors and went ashore, but she was afterwards got off ; the brig Berlin, Lawson, from Liverpool, dragged her anchors, and lay close to the shore, disabled ; the ship Constellation, Liverpool packet, went on shore on Bedlow's Island. The steam-boat A. H. Schultz, with about 60 passengers on board, was driven broadside on the beach at Cedar Grove, but all the passengers were,' by great exertions, saved. The crops have suffered severely. There has heen no storm like this, in the month of July, for half a cen tury. It appears to have commenced at Baltimore on the 17th, reaching Philadelphia at noon, and New York at nightfall, on the 18th. COURT AND FASHION. _ . -77----.- The Queen, Prince Albert, and the Royal children re main at Osborne, all in the enjoyment of good health. The Queen has had but few visitors during the week. Her Majesty and the Prince Albert intend visiting the Earl of Carlisle, at Castle Howard, en roofs to Scotland. The Royal visitors will sleep at Castle Howard on the night of the 28th instant, and proceed next morning per rail to Berwick. On their arrival the Prince Albert will open the Berwick railway, and proceed thence to Edin burgh, where the royal party will again rest. It is stated that the second daughter of the late Sir IL. Peel was engaged to be married to Lord Cantilupe, who died the week before her father. The Duke of Manchester will shortly be united to Miss Dobbs, one of the daughters of C. Dobbs, Esq., of Castle Dobbs, county DC Antrim. The Countess of Wilton and Ladies Egerton left Landon on Tuesday for Cowes, Isle of Wight. The noble earl will join her ladyship and family in a few days, and take up his residence at the above a mine reudezvou or the yachting season. RAILWAY AFFAIRS. The Great Northern Railway to Peterborough was opened yesterday. The directors of the Newmarket railway, including Lord George Manners as Chairman, have resigned in conse quence of the shareholders having disapproved of their policy in closing the line on the 30th June last. It is reported that the Great Western Railway Com pany will nay 5 per cent. this bou9year, and the London and North Western 4 per cent.,Tlie latter leaving a sur plus to be carried to the reserve fund, of £15,000. MIDLAND RAILWAY.—A meeting of shareholders in this company was held at Liverpool on Wednesday, "Ito take into consideration the best means of defeating the proposition of certain of the £5O shareholders, made at Derby on the 19th July." The chair was occupied by Mr. J. H. Brancker, and the attendance was numerous. The following resolution was carried nem. dis:—" That in the opinion of this meeting it is essential for the pre servation of the interest of the proprietors of the Mid land Railway; and for the maintenance of good faith towards all classes of stock and shareholders, that the personal and sectional pretentions of certain of the £5O shareholders should be opposed by all necessary legal and parliamentary measures." THE RAILWAY TO WATERLOO. The Liverpool, Crosby, and Southport Railway is progressing rapily to wards completion, and will shortly be opened for traffic. The works are about 34 miles long. The line is con tinued on an embankment crossing Lord Derby's land at the Derby Arms, by a skew arch of thirty feet span, where his lordship purposcs making a road. The remain ing portion of the line to Waterloo is on the surface, over an embankment, and a considerable cutting. The rail way is carried over a timber bridge, on piles, at Seaforth, and there is another of a similar character between Sea forth and Waterloo. At Waterloo the only bridge over the line will be constructed. This will be a stone bridge 140 feet long, and two carriage roads, namely, those from Crosby and Southport will form a junction over the bridge, and the line will be run into the Waterloo station, which will have to be lowered about three feet to get a common level. There will be stations at Bootle, Merton road, Seaforth, Marsh-lane, and Waterloo ; also other places not yet fixed upon. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—Between ten and eleven o'clock on Thursday, a collision occurred on the Edin burgh and Glasgow Railway, near the Cowlairs station, by which five persons were deprived of life and several others severely if not fatally injured. It appears that a monster special train left Perth by the Scottish Central Railway early in the morning, carrying a number of per sons to witness the Highland Society's Exhibition at Glasgow; that on its arrival at the Greenhill junction the train was divided into two portions, one of which pro ceeded on to Cowlairs; on its arrival at Cowlairs a deten tion occurred in consequence of a large train from Edin burgh not being able to get down the incline as speedily as usual; while remaining here the second section of the Perth train came up, and although it was noticed at some distance it was proceeding at such a rapid rate that a col lision resulted inevitably. Seeing this, some of the pas sengers leaped from the stationary train and escaped without injury, but they had no sooner done so than the collision took place. Two cattle trucks, in which there were some 20 to 30 persons have been completely smashed, as were also the buffers of nearly all the carriages. DINNER TO ROBERT STEPHENSON, ESQ., M.P.—A public dinner was given to this gentleman by his friends and admirers in Newcastle and its neighbourhood, to mark their respect for his excellent private character, great talent, and public achievements in engineering sci ence. The dinner took place in the new railway station in Neville-street, and about 400 persons sat down to it. Th' Hon. Mr. Liddell was in the chair, and the vice chairs wc,-.• Mina by the Mayors of Newcastle end Gates head. The chairman, in proposing the toast of the even ing, enumerated the many works with which their guest had been connected ; from which it appeared that the railways alone to which he had been engineer, amounted to 1850 miles • he particularly alluded to the Britannia Bridge, the Ith-level Bridge, and the viaduct over the Tweed, as works unequalled in ancient or modern times— paintings of these three structures were exhibited in the apartment. Mr. Stephenson, in returning thanks, bore testimony to the perseverance and skill of those who had been his associates in his labours, and to whom he felt he owed his success. He said it was Lord Ravensworth, the father of the chairman, to whom his father was indebted for assistance to enable him to carry out his locomotive experiments, and consequently to his after success in life. ST. HELEN'S CANAL AND RAILWAY.—The annual meeting of the proprietors was held on Tuesday, at St. Helen's, Mr. G. Greenall, M.P., in the chair. The re port stated that the traffic for the half-year, ending the 30th of June last, as compared with the corresponding period of 1839, showed an increase in the gross receipts of £1,413, and in the net receipts of £1,476. against which is an extra charge for interest on loans and prefer ence shares of £7BO, leaving a net profit of £695 in excess of the same period of 1849. The gross revenue for the half-year amounted to £16.375, and the working expen ses, &c., to £6,363, or 39 per cent., leaving a surplus of £10,012, out of which £2,633, was deducted for interest on loans and renewal of permanent way, and £7,236 for preference and other dividends, leaving a balance of £260 for the next account. Arrangements have been made for the commencement of the traffic on the whole of the Blackbrook branch. The continued and large increase in the traffic at the docks at Widness convinces the di rectors of the expediency of providing the improved dock accommodation at Garston with as little delay as possible, The dividends for the half-year are—on the old shares, 15s. ; on the half-shares, 7s. 6d. ; on the £lOO preference, £3 ss. ;_ and on the £25 shares, Bs. 3d. each. The chair man referred in congratulatory terms to the leading state ments which it contains. With respect to the future, be said he had a very confident opinion that there was an opening for still greater improvement. The report was adopted. Mr. Holland expatiated upon the advantages Of the concern, and the value especially of the proposed extension to Garston. He showed that on the outlay £428,000,) the dividends declared declared had been equal to £4 13s. 4d. per cent. The retiring directors were re elected. POLITICAL MISCELLANY. The Times contends that the grants to the Cambridge groupe will be ignored, and commit the Royal Family and their profligate Whig friends. A Mr. Henry Alexander, a member of the English Bar, has started as candidate for the representation of Dungannon. There is a report of his being opposed by Mr. Butt. LAMBETH.—Sir Charles Napier, on Thursday, issued an address to the electors, "If y ou would like to get represented by a sailor lam ready . " The address altoge ther id only eight lines in length. It is just rinroured that Lord Brougham is to be created an earl, with remainder to his brother, (Mr. William Brougham, one of the Masters in Chancery,) for his great public services in the House of Lords and Privy Council. _ _ Mr. Meagher has sent a " Message to Ireland," which appears in the columns of the Nation, and consists of an account of his advantures from his embarkation in Kings town harbour to his arrival in the penal settlement. He speaks in terms of commendation of the treatment he has received, and holds the language of one who confesses himself fairly vanquished. THE MAYO ELECTION.—The friends of Mr. Butt have definitely resolved upon petitioning against the return of Mr. Higgins. It is not at all likely that the most in tolerant committee that could by possibility be selected from the present house of Commons would refuse to de clare null and void an election effected as Mr. Higgins's has been, by vile intimidation, and worse. A FACT FOR FREE TRADERS.—At a sale of growing crops, on Wednesday, in the parish of Sandal!, which is one of the favoured sand districts of South Yorkshire, the wheat crops sold, to remove the straw and corn, at from £4 to £5, and the barley at £5 per acre. The crops were in the most promising condition, and the farm is celebrated for growing the finest description of wheat and barley. The land is let at from 30s. to £2 Per acre. The Dines deliberately suggests to Baron Rothschild to take the oath administered to Roman Catholics, because there were no words in that oath which he need hesitate to pronounce. Now this oath e can only be t aken by mm bers professing themselves to be Roman Catholics ; so that the Times deliberately recommended the Baron to tell a notorious lie in order to obtain the object which he t w b • e itit of the fact. guilty of such a Gross evasion held Boston, An immense P' rotection meeting, was ter sought.t to be induced c J e 7 b lead too e t o s o u g g g re e a s o a n r s eg o a f rc t l I f e o r eschtaorabce eseddnetshdeamy,eaetttienigidaetd gbryeat3oloeOngpteht:soannsd. pted to create a division in their Lincolnshire, on same n..,ak party ing tb e to m .0 in troduce sic also failed, and the musicians t :N h f e r. f F re e e r : t a rb t a t a d dne a rd c s l d oa r: e ‘ t t s: e T 1: t until driven off pell mall, r and their cracked instruments bideous noises on the e.7terior of the place of meeting broken over their heads. contentedfavur,bu tthfeamilesdel.vesAtfloratstoeimileptti Aug. 6 ' 1851' .
