prorttbings in Vartiament. HOUSE OF LORDS.-TUESDAY The house resolved itself into a committee on the Australian colonies bill, when Lord MONTEAGLE, in a long speech, advocated the necessity of a double representation, and concluded by moving the following amendment That there shall be within each of the said colonies of New South Wales and Victoria a legisla tive council and a representative assembly." Earl GREY briefly replied that a double representation was suitable for England, but not for the colonies. He hoped, therefore, that their lordships would support the government in carrying out a plain and simple principle, and would not disturb existing, institutions. After some words from Lords Abinger, Lyttelton, and Wodehouse, in faVeur of the amendment, and from the Earl of St. Germans in opposition, their lordships divided, when the numbers were—For the amendment, 20; against it, 22; ma jority for ministers, 2. The several clauses of the bill were then agreed to as far as clause 25, when Lord LyrrELTosi moved the insertion of a clause empower ing the governors of New South Wales, Victoria, Van Die man's Land, and South Australia, with the advice and consent of the legislative councils, to repeal all, or any part of sth and 6th Victoria, relative to the sale of waste lands in those colo nies, and any orders issued by her Majesty in council in pur suance of such acts or either of them, and to make further or other provisions for the management of the waste lands, and the appropriation of the money derived from such sales. After some discussion, the motion was rejected by a majority of 28 to 18. The Bishop o' OXFORD submitted the clause of which he had given notice with respect to the condition of the Established Church in the colonies, but eventually withdrew it. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—TUESDAY. The House was occupied in a morning sitting in a further discussion of clauses of the Metropolitan Interments Bill; and succeeded, after two or three divisions, in getting as far as the Md. The compensation clauses to clergy, clerks, and sextons, were opposed by the metropolitan members, but they were left in small minorities. The last clause that passed, giving powers to the Board of Health to levy a rate of Id. in the pound, if necessary, was carried by 93 to 37, when the chairman reported progress, and obtained leave to sit again on Friday. In the evening sitting, Government were defeated on a mo tion by Lord NAAs. that the house resolve itself into a com rnittee to consider the present mode of levying the duty on home-made spirits in bond. Home-made spirits, the noble lord observed, paid duty when manufactured; foreign spirits, when taken out of bond. The former, therefore, were subject to an unfair disadvantage in being obliged to pay the duty upon the quantity invariably wasted by leakage, evaporation, &c., In store.—Lord .1. STUART seconded the motion, which was opposed by Mr. WILSON, followed by the CHANCELLOR of the EXCHgQU ER, but carried by a majority of 85 to 53, amidst vociferous cheering from the Opposition benches. In com mittee resolutions in accordance with the motion were passed unanimously. The remainder of the evening was occupied With a debate on Indian railways. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—WEDNESDAY. Mr. PUsEY moved the committal of the Landlord and Tenant Bill.—Col. SIB - Mom. moved as an amendment that the bill be committed that day six months. He should not only oppose the bill on that occasion, but upon every future stage of its progress through the house.—The amendment was rejected by a majority of 65 to 22, and the house went into committee.— On clause 1 being proposed, Sir J. Y. BULLER proposed the omission of the words which gave compensation for money expended in the purchase of food for cattle.—Mr. PUSEY said that a farmer who fed cattle for the purpose of manuring his land never expected to get more for the cattle than what he paid for them.—After some discussion, the amendment was carried by a majority of 94 to 65. The bill then passed through committee without any other alteration. The Court of Chancery Bill, for attempting some improve ments in the proceedings of that court, was read a second time. The Burgess' Lists Bill, which was a measure to transfer the duty of revising the burgess' lists of cities and boroughs, from the mayors and their assessors to the barristers appointed to revise the lists of parliamentary voters, was thrown out on the motion for the second reading. The Small Tenements Rating Bill was read a third time by a majority of 94 to 15. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY. In committee on the County Courts Extension Bill, several Clauses, on the motion of the ATTORNEY-GENERAL, Mr. MIT CHELL, and Mr. MuLLI Nos, were added to the bill.—Clauses moved by Mr, CROWDER, providing for appeals, were rejected upon a division. Mr. EWART, in moving that the house go into committee upon the Public Libraries and Museums Bill, explained the alterations he had made in it to meet the views of its oppo ments.—Col. SIRTHORP moved that it be committed that day six months.—The amendment was negatived by 86 to 21, and the house went into committee. Little progress had been made, when Mr. BROTHERTON moved that the Chairman report progress, and this motion was carried upon a division. —Mr. EWART moved that leave be given for the committee to Pit again on Wednesday next.—Mr. LAW moved an amend ment that it be deferred for six months.—Mr. Ewart's motion was ultimately agreed to. The house then went again into committee upon the Mar riages 13111.—0 n HIE third clause, saving the law and discipline of the churches of England and Scotland, Mr. It. PALMER moved to insert words providing that no member of either church who may contract a marriage contrary to the doctrine or discipline of the church to which he belongs shall be ex empted from spiritual or ecclesiastical censure or punishment, and that no sentence or restitution of conjugal rights shall be pronounced by any ecclesiastical court in any suit between the parties to such marriage.—Mr. S. WORTLEY opposed this amendment, the effect of which was to extend ecclesiastical authority, and, whilst it recognised the validity of these mar riages for all civil and temporal purposes, would leave the par ties exposed to ecclesiastical censure.—ool. CHATTERTON moved a proviso that the bill should not extend to Ireland, which was opposed by Mr. S. WoRTLEY, and was negatived.— The bill was then reported. The General Board of Health Bill went through committee. HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY On the motion of Lord KILMORE, the Public-house (Scot land) Bill was read a second time, and ordered to be commit ted. _ _ Lord BROUGHAM moved the second reading of the Chancery Court of Appeal Bill. The house then went into committee on the Austrian Bill, and Lord STANLEY moved that the 30th clause, creating a federative assembly, should be expunged. On a division, the amendment was carried by a majority or 1, the numbers bons 23 to 22. The remaining clauses were then agreed to. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—FRIDAY. After a number of petitions had been presented, the CHAN CELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, in reply to Lord Naas, said he should not oppose the bringing in of the report of the resolu tion for the qualification of the spirits duty, on the introduc tion of a bill founded thereon, but he should, at some stage or other, take the sense of the house upon the measure. Sir L. O'BRIEN called the attention of the government to the state of health and the treatment of his brother, Mr. Smith O'Brien, the convict upon Maria Island Van Dieman's Land. The honourable baronet stated that his brother's health was suffering much, and described, at some length, the regulations under which he was placed in consequence of having refused the indulgence of a ticket of leave.—Sir G. GREY stated that Mr. Smith O'Brien having positively refused a ticket of leave, the governor of Van Dieman's Land had no other course left open to him than to adopt the regulations which lie had taken, without neglecting his duty ; but, at the same time, he had indulgence of which the other convicts were deprived. In fact, every indulgence had been shown him which the gover uor had in his power. On the consideration of the Factory Bill as amended, Lord ASHLEY moved, once more, the amendment respecting young children, which was defeated when the bill was in committee. —Sir G. GREY, in opposing the amendment, pointed out that under the bill as it stood children would not be worked in an excessive manner in factories.—Mr. AOLIONISY and Mr. BRIGHT opposed the amendment, and a discussion of some length having taken place upon it, the house divided, when there appeared for the amendment, 159 ; against it ; HO ; ma rlrity, I. The amendment was, consequently, lost. — Lord J. ANNERS then moved an amendment, in effect limiting the hours of factory labour to ten, and no more.—After a lung de bate, on a division, there appeared for the amendment 142, against 181, majority 39; thus the ten-and-a-half hours, as proposed by the government, was carried. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. AMERICA. By the royal mail steam-ship Europa, Captain Lott, which arrived in the river on Sunday morning, after the quickest passage on record, we have advices from New York direct to the sth instant, and from Halifax to the Bth. The telegraphic communication between New York and Halifax having failed, we have not received the usual two and a half days' later news. We have advices from Cali fornia to the Ist of May. The steam-ship Panama ar r ived at P a nama on the 21st ult., with nearly 51,000,000 in gold dnst ; she reports that business was prosperous, and that great activity pre- Vt:ilcl; prices of produce were advancing, and there was an immense immigration. The Alabama was at New Or leans with 562,000 in gold dust. Serious attacks had been made by the Indians on the Californian emigrants. The Philadelphia was at New York with upwards of 81,000,000 in gold dust. The West India mail steamer Severn arrived at Mobile on the 22nd ult. She had on freight 200 serons cochineal, and 5559,182 in specie— £6o,ooo being on account of Mexican dividends. Lopez had arrived at New Orleans. Official informa tion had been received at Washington of the execution of four Americans at Cuba, and of the imprisonment of be tween 100 and 200 others. The Spanish authorities re fused to allow the commander of the United States' squadron permission to sec the prisoners, or to permit them to be taken to the United States for trial. The frigate Congress had sailed from Cuba to intercept the Spanish vessel containing a number of Americans taken prisoners from an island near Yucatan. She was followed by a Spanish man-of-war. Despatches bad been sent from Washington to the authorities of Cuba, stating that the arrest of the Americans on any other island will not be recognised nor permitted. The despatches were sent by telegraph to Mobile. The Union understands that despatches had been received from the Consul at Haven nab, stating that he had demanded the 105 prisoners taken by the Spanish steam ship of war Pizarro on the island of Contoy. Contoy is said to be a neutral terri tory, and the men taken the re h a d no t b een engage d i n open hostilities, and were actually cons id er i ng th e aban donment of the enterprise and returning to the United States. To this demand the Cuban authorities bad made no reply ; consequently the Consul had called upon his government for powers to second his demand. Or ders had therefore been sent from Washington to despatch such portions of the squadron as could be immediately collected at Havannah, to assist in p ress i ng the demand. Should the authorities refuse, the Consul was instructed to inform the Government, and in the meantime the squadron was to obstruct all e C ommunica ons with the port. Instructions had been issued that,. if the Spaniards captured the remainder of th e vessels of the expedition, they were to be taken from them, if neces sary, by force. A vessel from Havannah, at Charleston, reported that there was great excitement in consequence of a rumour that the remainder of the expedition, to the number of several thousand, had landed on the south side of the island and had taken possession of Cienfuegos and Trinidad : the report had not been confirmed. The authorities of Cuba appear to be justly embittered against the United States' Government, and had refused any in formation as t o th e num b er , name , or p ro b a bl e f a t e o f th e prisoners, who were closely confined. General Lopez had addressed the citizens of Mobile, explaining the causes of the defeat of the expedition. The Session of the C ana di an P ar li a ment, a t Toro n t o , s h ows an effective majority on th e s id e o f th e m i n i s t ry . The Opposition was divided in counsel and feeble in action. It WBS not supposed th a t any popu l ar moasures would pass during the present session. The Inspector- General had stated in the House that the Canadian Go- Ternment will not grant freedom of navigation of the St. Lawrence to the United States, unless . the latter assent to reciprocity. From Buenos Ayres the Tribune publishes advices to the 13th of April, and says the English forces have abandoned the blockade of the ports, accompanying the act with an acknowledgment that they are wrong. They have also given up all the vessels captured by them during the blockade, and agreed to pay for all the property that they took. A French Admiral had just arrived at Buenos Ayres, who was said to be:fully empowered to settle all the difficulties so far as the French were concerned. The markets were dull. _ The America, hence, was at Halifax, and the Thames, from Havannah, at Orleans. Another fatal steamboat explosion had occurred at St. Louis, destroying about twenty-four lives. Captain R. F. Miercken, late in command of one of Messrs. Cope's Liverpool packet-ships, died at his resi dence in Philadelphia, 29th of May, after a short illness, cansed by an injury received some years since, whilst the Thomas P. Cope was burning. From St. Francisco, via Chagres and New Orleans, we have telegraphic accounts to the Ist May; being ten days later than our last advices. Business in California was prosperous, great activity prevailed, and prices of mer chandise and produce were advancing. There was a great emigration to the mines. Lumber sold at 50 dollars ; bricks 18 dollars per M. There was a small advance in the prices of produce. Pernambuco letters to the sth May state that the fever had materially abated amongst the natives, but still raged amongst the foreigners. The province was tranquil. Advices from Mexico, dated the 14th ult., published in the New York Tribune, state that the Minister of Fi nance, M. Ocampo, resigned on the 11th ult. His resig nation had not been accepted ; but, notwithstanding the persuasion of the ministers of war and justice, it was be lieved he would insist on retiring. COMMERCIAL. NEW YORK, June 5 The arrival of the America has checked transactions. The 'pinks were well supplied with specie, and are accommodating all their customers nearly or quite to the extent of the appli cations. Exchange was in good request, and previous to the an nouncement of the America at Halifax the market had partially recovered its tone. We quote exchange on London, 93 to 10 ; Paris, 5 272 to 5 28 for 60 days, ar.d 5 25 for short time ; Am sterdam, 40 to 404 ; Hamburgh, 35i to 3 ; Bremen, 79 to 793. The business in freights has been limited. To London, Liverpool, Glasgow, and Havre there is not any change in the rates for small transactions. A considerable number of vessels have been taken up to load deals, &c., at St. John's, N. 8., for English ports, at from £3 to £4, varying according to the eligibleness of the English ports. After the departure of the Pacific holders continued to offer the stocks of cotton freely, and prices at the close of last week receded ic. to ic. per lb., the market being dull. On the receipt of the America's news a better feeling prevailed, and prices became stiffer. The receipts of cotton at all the shipping ports were 1,922,709 bales against 2,590,186 last year; the decrease thus seems to be 667,477 bales. The exports were 774,121 less than those of last year, of which 590,702 baled were to the account of Great Bri tain. The shipments from southern to northern ports are 23,179 bales less than last year, and there is an increase of stock to the extent of 96,812 bales. Prices at New York were, low to good ord., 11.1 c. to lc. ; low to good mid., llic. to 124 c.; mid, fair to fair, 123 c. to 13c. ; fully fair to good, from 13ic. to 133 c. _ _ _ The flour market has been steady, and a speculative demand prevailed. Indian corn meal was in request, and higher, owing to advance in the price of corn. Jersey was quoted at 3 dols. 6 c., and Ohio at 3 dols per brl. The stock was small. Cured provisions were in 'air demand. Beef sells at 8 dols. 874 c. to 9 dols. for country mess •, prime dull at 17 dols. Beef hangs heavy, and no flinal at 14 dols. to 14 dols. 50c. _ New ORLEANS, June 3. Accounts from interior confirm all disasters to growing crops ; they are very bad from all quarters. A speculative business is doing, ar d middling is firm at Ili. Freights are improving. Sales last week 12,000. Sterling exchange is unaltered. OVERLAND MAIL An extraordinary express, in anticipation, of the Over land India Mail, has bronght advices from Bombay to the 11th ult., and China to April 23. The whole of India enjoyed tranquillity. The Afreedies charged with the as sassination of Dr. Healey upon the Kohat frontier have been liberated, the proof against them not being deemed sufficient to convict them of that deed.—A serious outrage occurred in the prison at Agra in April last, arising out of a personal quarrel between a Sepoy and a Sikh ; the other convicts, to the number of three hundred, joined either one or the other, and the tumult became so great that the guard fired, and from seventy to eighty of the rioters were killed or wounded.—On the 27th and 28th of April, a ter rific hurricane took place in the Bay of Bengal, the effects of which were felt twelve hundred miles distant. The gale happening just after the full moon, and the centre of the hurricane crossing the Sandheads about the time of high water, had caused considerable damage by inunda tion towards the mouth of the river, both banks of which had suffered severely. Even so high as Acra. within eight miles of Calcutta, the fields were flooded, and it was reported by the natives that the water was so salt as to destroy vegetation, and to make the tanks unfit for use. In the May gale, 1833, similar mischief occurred, the suf ferings of the people for want of water were severe, and their loss of cattle very great. Apprehensions were en tertained that much suffering would ensue on this occa sion. Another case of wilful ship-burning had occurred in Bombay harbour.—Business was slack at Bombay. and vessels with large supplies of goods were continually arriving. At Calcutta the trade markets were exceedingly dull ; the demand was daily falling, and the prices gradu ally declined. It appears from China that Shap-'ng-tsai, the notorious pirate chief, has made excellent terms with his govern. ment, for his submission has not only been accepted, but he has obtained office as a mandarin of the fifth grade ; he has also secured an amnesty for all those who had acted with, 111 Lumulatia. — Duolimoa era, In a otaszialit, ntatc ab Shang hae nothing could be done except at extremely low prices, which the owners of merchandize felt no disposi tion to submit to. At Canton, it was something better; but generally speaking it proved far from remunerative. The Danes have refused to allow the Prussian corvette Amazon to pass the Sound. The Amazon made the at tempt in company with a transport, but was compelled by the Dutch men-of-war to return. ANOTHER SOCIALIST TRIUMPH.—EmiIe de Girardin has been triumphantly returned by the anarchists of the Bas Rhin. He had a large majority over the candidate of order, Mr. Muller. A dreadful accident happbned near Meelun, on the railroad from Paris to Lyons. A lady named Madame Brueure, daughter-in-law of Baron St. James, travelling in the coupe - of the diligence, was burnt to death before assistance could be afforded. The cause is attributed to some lucifer matches that had been left in the carriage. The accounts from Paris represent the difference be tween France and England to have been amicably ad justed. Lord Normanby, it appears, was exceedingly anxious to bring the question to a satisfactory conclusion as soon as possible, in order that her Majesty's Ministers might be better able to meet the motion of Lord Stanley on Monday. MORE SAINTS FOR THE CALENDAR.—On Trinity Sun day the Pope decided, ex cathedra", upon the merits of two candidates for canonization—viz., Peter Claver, a Jesuit missionary, who died about 200 years ago, and Germaine Consin, a secular virgin, a shepherdess, born in 1579, whose theological and cardinal virtues his holiness pronounced to be evidently proved by four miracles wrought by her. Louis Napoleon, the President of the French Republic, cannot zet on at all with the monthly allowance assigned to his use. It won't by any means serve to keep up that state of Imperial splendour which it pleases the chief of the Republic to indulge in. The consequence is that his pecuniary embarrassments have reached a climax, and he demands from the Assembly an increased allowance. And he will get it. There is a disposition to carp at the demand, but the Prince will gain his end. The Russian Government has addressed a pointed note to the British Cabinet, repudiating the notion that British subjects living in Tuscany or Naples during the late re volts, have any just right to claim indemnity for the los ses they suffered during those disturbances. Should any unjust demands be enforced by arms, (the note adds), Russia will then find itself compelled to indicate, in the most precise manner possible, the conditions alone upoa which it will grant to British subjects the right of resi dence and of property within the Emperor's dominions. . . THE FAMILIARS OUTWITTED.—A search was made in Cernuschi's rooms some days previous to his leaving the Castle of St. Angelo. He told the police officer that he knew very well what he came for. " You expected to find papers in my possession, and you were right; there they are," added he, pointing to a little heap of ashes on the floor, " I have prepared them all for you." The officer, surprised and disconcerted, asked what he meant. " I mean," replied Cernuschi, " that our police is better than yours, and that I was informed of your intended visit in time to destroy any papers,"—Letter from Rome. INTERESTING CORRESPONDENCE.-It may be remem bered that Goethe, in 1827, had delivered over to the the keeping of the Government of Weimar a quantity of his papers, contained in a sealed casket, with an injunction not to open it until 1850. The 17th of May being fixed for breaking the seals, the authorities gave formal notice to the family of Goethe that they would on that day deliver up the papers, as directed by the deceased poet. The descendants of the poet Schiller also received an in timation that, as the papers concerned their ancestor like wise, they had a right to be present. The casket was opened with all due form, and was found to contain the whole of the correspondence between Goethe and Schiller. The letters are immediately to be published, according to directions found in the casket. The Stockholm journals announce an event in the musi cal world. Jenny Lind has broken through her resolution not to reappear upon the stage. She will perform a part in a new opera, written expressly for the files. given in celebration of he marriage of the Crown Prince with the daughter of Prince Frederick of the Netherlands. Jenny arrived at Stockholm on the 22nd ult., and on landing she was received by a great number of young girls, all clothed in white, who offered flowers and wreaths to her. A car riage drawn by four white horses, sent by the Philhar monic Society, conducted Mdle. Lind to her hotel, where some apartments had been prepared for her. In the eve ning the houses joining the hotel were illuminated by lights placed at all the windows; a chorus of professors and dillitante executed a serenade under her windows, and hundreds of young men promenaded the principal I streets of the town in procession, carrying flambeaux. THE CANAL BETWIXT THE ATLANTIC AND PACIFIC. — A treaty is nearly completed in all its forms between this country and the United States, which provides for the inviolability of a ship canal betwixt the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. The line is to be regarded as the high way of nations, as neutral and sacred ground, to be kept free from military works, and excluded from the influence of international disputes. We give the main article of this important agreement, the Ist in the text of the treaty :—" The Governments of the United States and Great Britain hereby declare that neither the one nor the other will ever obtain or maintain for itself any exclusive control over the said ship canal ; agreeing that either will never erect or maintain any fortifications commanding the Same, or in the vicinity thereof, or occupy, or fortify, or colonise,.or assume, or exercise-any dominion over Nica ragua, Costa Rica, the Musquito Coast, or any part of Central America, or of assuming or exercising dominion over the same; nor will 'the United States or Great Britain take advantage of any intimacy, or use any alli ance, connexion,• or influence that either may possess with any State or Government through whose territory the said canal may pass for - the purpose of acquiring or hold ing, directly or indirectly, for the citizens or the subjects of tne one, any rights or advantages in regard to com merce or navigation through the said canal which shall not be offered on the same terms to the citizens or subjects of the other." _ A MIRACULOUS IPICTURE.—The Popish prints are full of wondrous tales of a picture of the Virgin at Rimini, which is reported to move its eyes in a miraculous manner. The following account is abridged from the letter of a correspondent of the Arai de la Religion :—" On Satur day, the llth of May, it was observed that a picture of the Virgin Mary, which is worshipped in the small church of Santa Clara, at Rimini, under the title 'Mother of Mercy' and which is painted on canvass, framed, and glazed, had moved its eyes. .0n the following day being Sunday, the miracle was again observed, when a great crowd collected in the Chapel of the Madonna, and the most viol-znt ex citement of devotion ensued in the spectators. To con vince the unbelievers, tha picture was taken out of the frame, the glass removed, and the bare canvass exposed, and still the picture went on maoing its eyes, and contin ued to do so several times on its way from Santa Clara to the great Church of St. Augustine, to which it was carried in procession. A number of miraculous cures were ef fected, among them, blind persons receiving their sight. The Bishop of Rimini proceeded to examine into th• case, and certified the miracle, which is attested by other Bishops and Dignitaries of the Romish Church, and, moreover, by the Commandant of the Austrian garrison, who, and with him two officers,—came in a scoffing mood, but such was the effect of the miracle upon them—left their decorations as votive offerings. A subsequent ac count states that the Bishop of Cesena, after sending two of his Canons, and not being satisfied with their report, came himself, and after having been prostrated in prayer, before the image for a few instants, he saw the eyes of the miraculous Madonna opening, and fixed upon himself, and during five minutes he was enabled to contemplate the seven wonders of paradise, till he was obliged to turn away his eyes, being unable to endure the brilliancy of what he saw." Such is, with many embellishments, and accompanied by sundry pious reflections, the story told for the edification of Romanists in the accredited organs of their Church ! A REMARKABLE RENCONTRE WITH ARABS.— M. Mane, a tradesman of Phillippevllle, in Algeria, was pro ceeding to Setif on the 16th, accompanied by a domestic, when all at once he perceived near the village of Oued Temente seven armed Arabs foliowing, and having appa rently the design of surrounding him. Arrived at a river which had to be waded through, M. Mane descended from his vehicle to examine the depth of the water. Almost at the same moment three Arabs dragged the do mestic out of the gig and put him to death. The four others then rushed on M. Mane, but he seized one of the nearest to him, an old man, and, by the display of con siderable activity, kept him before him to ward off the blows of the yatagan which were directed against him. At last, he and the, old man fell into the water, which was not very deep. Whilst he was on the ground, one of the Arabs put his gun close to the Frenchman's cheek and pulled the trigger, hut no discharge took place. He then calmly arranged the gun and fired, wounding M.Mane in the neck, Feeling the inutility of resistance, M. Mane fell to tha ground, struggled as if in the agony of death, and then lay perfectly still like a corpse. The Arabs took all he had in his pockets, and went off with it and with his horse. Presently the youngest of the Arabs returned, and dragged him a little out of the water, saying, " In the name of God !" He then proceeded to strip him of his clothes, but, finding some difficulty in undoing the buttons, he took out his knife and ripped up the cloth. When he had stripped the unfortunate man, M. Mane thought he was free from his assailants, and began to reflect what he was to do; but a moment after two of the Arabs returned to take a gun which they had let fall. One of them looked at him fixedly, and the other asked, " Is he dead ?" " Look yourself," was the reply. "Ah ! 1 see ! He has some lead in the throat, and two wounds in the breast." The last speaker then approached as near as he could without putting his foot in the mud. M. Mane remained perfectly still. The Arab cried, " After all, nobody knows anything !" and threw a large stone at his victim's head. The blow caused M. Mane to faint, and he remained senseless until some travellers came up and afforded him assistance. The local authorities imme diately commenced a search after the assassin, but it was without success up to the date of the last advices.—Gal libnani's Messenger. IRELAND. _._ A whole family at Ballincuslane, Kerry, have been ar rested on suspicion of murdering their stepfather. The wife has also been taken. Two men named Doherty, were drowned on Saturday week, through the upsetting of a boat on the entrance to Londonderry. They hare left eleven children. The Dublin Court of Queen's Bench has quashed the mandamus, and allowed the return of Mr. Reynolds ; the Lord Mayor, who will now probably be left in undis turbed possession of his seat. During the last few days potatoes have been hawked about the streets, the price varying from ninepence to a shilling per quart, and are selling to-day at sixpence.— Derry Journal. _ _ . The Belfast Whig mentions a sample of flax, eighteen states that that valuable crop, although in many places sown too late, promises well in other parts of the country. The town of Killarney was posted, last week, with bills announcing a sheriff's sale to take place at Derrynane Abbey. The sale was to be at the suit of some half-dozen creditors, and the sheriff's name appended to the placard was " O'Connell !" _ _ _ On Monday, the Lord Mayor of Dublin, (Mr. Rey nolds) appeared in his robes, before a police magistrate, on a charge of having assaulted Alderman Kinahan, by having him forcibly removed at the late tumultuous town council meeting. The magistrate dismissed the case. MELANCHOLY DEATH.—On Thursday, Agnes Diver, had come to the house of Mr. Fleming, of Inch, near Londonderry, to fill the place of a servant who had just left, until another would be engaged. Mr. Fleming's son, Fitzgerald, was in the kitchen, charging a gun, and just as he was putting the cap on the nipple and lowering the hammer, the girl came into the kitchen, when the gun went off, and its contents penetrated her left thigh, and she died soon after. TIIE TENANT-RIGHT AGlTATlON.—Aprovincial tenant right meeting for Ulster was held in the Music Hall at Belfast, on Wednesday. A string of eleven resolutions were passed. Among the movers and seconders were ten Presbyterian clergymen and two Roman Catholic clergy men. A committee was appointed. A tenant league for all Ireland is to be formed, and, in short, the men who formed this meeting are to carry all before them, and in double quick time too. Tll LIVERPOOL STANDARD. COURT AND FASHION. The Court returns from the Isle of Wight to-day. Lord John Russell visited her Majesty at Osborne, on Thursday. The Earl of Ellesmere and party are daily expected to return from Gibraltar, in the noble earl's yacht. The Duke and Duchess of Montrose do not propose to extend their sojourn at the German spas beyond the end of this month. His Grace has determined to rebuild Bu chanan Castle, on a very extensive plan. The Ex-King of the French, although suffering from a very serious chronic affection, is still, it is said, not in a state to cause any apprehension of immediate danger, and has already experienced some benefit from the air of St. Leonard's. LAW INTELLIGENCE. COURT OF EXCHEQUER..--FRIDAY. (Sittings at Nisi Prius, before Sir F. Pollock, C. 8., and Special Juries.) CUSTOMS' CASES-THE ATTORNEY-GENERAL V. STEWART. The Attorney-General, Sir F. Thesiger, Mr. Watson, and Mr. James Wilde appeared for the crown in this case, which was an information charging the defendant with having been concerned in the illegal removal of an enor mous quantity of coffee and foreign sugar from a bonded warehouse at Liverpool. Soon after the case was entered upon, _ _ _ _ _ _ Mr. Martin, who appeared as counsel for the defendant, interfered, and having entered into a negotiation with the Attorney-General, finally consented to a verdict for the crown, with penalties to the amount of £40,000. Verdict for the crown accordingly. Sir Fortunatus Dwarris, a Master of the Court of Queen's Bench, aad Recorder of Newcastle-under-Lune, and Mr. Benjamin Bond Cabbell, M.P., have been called to the bench of the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple. At the county court, held at York, on Tuesday week, Mr. Sergeant Dowling, the judge, expressed a desire that all professional gentlemen practising in that court would wear gowns, and several of the attorneys have already appeared so attired. In the Court of Bankruptcy, on Tuesday, Mr. Commis sioner Fane granted a certificate in re Edward Thomas Delafield. The learned commissioner went at length into the circumstances of the case, and explained why he had not passed a more severe sentence. At the court of Queen's bench, on Monday, a rule nisi was granted to show cause why a criminal information should not be filed against Mr. Stephens, an attorney, for a libel alleged to have been published against Count Matasa and Anzolata, charging him with being an adven turer and impostor. The Court of Exchequer, in order to meet the objec tion raised by the Bishop of Exeter's advocates, that the other two courts have refused to hear the Gorham case properly argued, has granted a rule to show cause why he should not be called on to induct the Rev. Mr. Gorham. At the same time, the Attorney-general has obtained a writ, directed to the Archbishop of Canterbury, from the Queen's Bench, requiring him to inquire what cause im pedes the induction of Mr. Gorham, and of course to in duct him, if the Bishop of Exeter will not. LIABILITY OF INNKEEPERS. 7 III the London Sheriff Court, on Wednesday, Mr. Martin, a commercial travel ler, brought an action againet Mr. Silk, proprietor of the Cathedral Hotel, St, Paul's-square, to recover the value of some stolen property. It appeared in evieence that the plaintiff had for a long time frequented the house, and on the night in question had retired to bed, leaving his watch, 12 sovereigns, &c., on the table ; but in the morning the property was missing. Plaintiff contended that, as an inn keeper, defendant was responsible for all property leff in his care. The learned judge took this view of the case, and gave judgment for the full amount. CLERICAL INTELLIGENCE. The foundation stone of the new church at Swindon, Wilts, was laid on Friday. The parish church of St. Paul's, Derby, (which has been erected by voluntary subscriptions in memory of the late Dr. Shirley, Bishop of Sodor and Man, and formerly Archdeacon of Derby,) being completed, was consecrated on Wednesday week by the Lord Bishop of Lichfield. The feeling of the laity in reference to the controversy now agitating the Church, is strikingly illustrated by the fact that in Leeds, the very stronghold of a certain phase of Tractarianism, a high-church paper states that " An Address to the Bishop of Ripon, from the laity, in con demnation of the judgment of thaudicial Committee, has received 200 signatures." "THE COMMEMORATION" came off at Oxford, on Wednesday. During the hour of license which precedes the entrance into the theatre of the vice-chancellor, heads of houses, and proctors, the customary effusion of feeling took place in hearty and enthusiastic cheers for the Queen, the Duke of Wellington, Lord Brougham, the Archbishop of Canterbury, the Bishops of Oxford and Exeter, the Vice-Chancellor, Sir R. H. Inglis, Mr. Gladstone, Lord Gough, Major Edwardes, &c., and the two last, with Baron Alderson, Major Rawlinson, and Dr. Paris, the eminent physician, were created doctors of civil law. The undergraduates were very noisy, and cheered and hissed most impartially. There were loud groans for the "Uni versity Commission," Lord John. Russell," Sir R. Peel," and "Lord Palmerston." MOVEMENT IN THE CHURCH.—Arrangements have been made for holding a great public meeting of the clergy and laity of the Church of England on the 27th instant, for the adoption of certain resolutions with reference to the late decision of the judicial committee in the case of " Gorham v. the Bishop of Exeter," and the consequen ces arising therefrom. The meeting is looked forward to with much interest by what is generally termed the High Church Party, the principal men connected with which will be present to take part in the proceedings. The promoters are anxious to secure the countenance and support of all who feel that a tacit acquiescence by the Church of England in the recent decision of the Privy Council would be an "unspeakable" misery. An address to the Throne will be submitted to the meeting, setting forth the Church's rights as to spiritual freedom, remind ing her Majesty of the declaration prefixed to the Articles of Religion, and praying therefore the royal license that convocation may be summoned for the express pur pose of vindicating or authoritatively declaring the doctrine of the Church of England on Holy Baptism. There will also be submitted a memorial to the episco pate of the two provinces, including the colonial bishops, as being technically in the province of Canterbury, and an address to the bishops of Scotland expressive of thankfulness and confidence. The day is to open with the celebration of the most solemn ecclesiastical offices in several London churches, and those who purpose taking part in the meeting will be invited to attend service either at Westminster Abbey or St. Paul's Cathedral. Many of the highest ecclesiastical dignitaries have expressed ap proval of the proposed course of proceeding, and have intimated their intention of being present at the meet ing.— Times. THE BISHOP OF CHESTER ON THE CHURCH.—At the last ordination at Chester, our excellent Bishop ad. dressed the usual sermon, specially to the gentlemen admitted into holy orders. Ile concluded as follows : " As my last word of exhortation, let me pray you to have peace one with another. The Scripture was the in fallible standard of Divine truth ; but such is the infirmity of the human mind, that men frequently differ in the interpretation. Hence arises the diversity of sects into the Christian world is unhappily divided. In order to secure unity within itself, our own Church exhibits a sys tematic form of doctrine in its articles and its liturgy : but even here difference of opinion cannot be absolutely and entirely prevented. In the wide range of theological controversy, there were some points where the Church , had wisely and reverently refrained from determining what the Scripture itself did not seem plainly to have determined. The language of the Church, like that of Scripture, is therefore liable to difference of interpre tation ; and has in point of fact, been differently inter preted by men of whose sincerity, piety, and earnest desire to arrive at the truth, only one opinion could be enter tained. Such difference of opinion existed in former times; such differences of opinion prevail now; and he could not but think that the present disagreements ccn sisted in words rather than things ; in ambiguity of phraseology rather than in the substance of faith. But while one could not help regretting that these differences did exist, there was yet comfort in the cheering indications which they had that God's blessing still rested on the Church. Its ministers were zealous in the discharge of their sacred duties, and the people were showing an in creased attachment to its communion. God grant that such may long—may ever continue to be the case. He earnestly prayed that God would be graciously pleased to compose all disagreements ; to allay all agitations ; to incline all hearts to humility, and modesty, and charity, and mutual forbearance • that so they might labour together in kindness and brotherly love; and continue " to hold the faith, in the unity of the Spirit, in the bond of peace, and in righteousness of life." LARGE PARISHES.—The parliamentary commissioners appointed " to inquire into the practicability and mode of sub-dividing into distinct and independent parishes, for all ecclesiastical purposes, all the densely peopled parishes in England and 'Wales, in such manner that the population of each, except in particular cases, shall not exceed 4,000 souls," have probably rather overstepped their proper duties ; they have issued a report containing a proposal for the sale of the church patronage of the Chancellor, and for the augmentation thereby of the / cc n A r r i n , i i Ti n fn as ftrr p o x ;o n h c u i v r 1 l i o n a . . T h a ' s e l y i4 G - 71i;gath quiries, that the number of parishes of large populations clearly requiring a new church or churches to be built, and a new parish or parishes to be constituted, is at least six hundred, the average cost of each church being esti mated at £3,506. The total outlay for building would be, in round numbers, £2,000,000, of which perhaps one-half would come from local and voluntary sources. Whence is the other £1,000,000 to come ? The Lord Chancellor has 77; benefices in his gift, having an annual value £200,000. Of these the value of 330 is under £2OO per annum each, six of them being of less annual value than £5O. The commissioners propose, in the first place, to sell the advowsons of these small livings, and to apply the purchase money to the purpose of raising them to £2OO a year. And they propose, in the next place, to raise the £1,000,000 spoken of above, by selling so many more of the crown livings as may suffice for that purpose, leaving the patronage of the rest still with the Lord Chancellor. The endowment of the new churches is referred to Lord Harrowby's commission on church leases. A plan of this sort is sure to provoke difference of opinion. The Times denounces it in toto, and calls it robbery to take away his immense patronage from a Lord Chancellor who spends all the day in court and all the evening in the Ilouse of Lords. The Morning Chronicle thinks the patronage can be worth nothing except for jobbing purposes, and says, " it seems a waste of words to comment on the undesirableness of leaving seven hundred benefices to the disposal of the minister of the day." The Morning Herald and the Standard give the scheme their entire approba tion, and think it will work well for the church. CONSECRATION OF ST. BARNABAS CRURCH AND COL LEGE, PIMLICO.—On Tuesday one of the most remarkable churches ever erected in the metropolis was consecrated by the Bishop of London, in the presence of the Bishops of Oxford, Salisbury, and Brechin, Archdeacons Thorpe, Manning, and Anderson, the Rev. Dr. Pusey, the Rev. W. Sewell, the Rev. J. Keble, and upwards of 200 other clergymen connected with what is usually termed the High Church party, all of whom appeared in full canoni cals, and presented a very imposing appearance. There were also present the Earl of Carlisle, Earl Nelson, Lord Campden, Lord Fielding, Lord Castlereagh, Sir John Harrington, Bart., Lord John Manners, M.P., Mr. J. B. Hope, M.P., Mr. Branston, M.P., and other noblemen and gentlemen. The new church and college of St. Bar nabas are situate in that part of Pimlico which abuts upon Chelsea, and have long been looked upon with much in terest. The internal decorations of 'he church are of the most superb description, the chancel being in appearance not unlike that of the Roman Catholic Cathedral in St. George's-fields. Under the eastern part of the chancel is a crypt of a very curious construction. The windows of the church are of an elaborate character, and have been filled with stained glass at an expense of many hundred pounds. The altar, the font, the vessels, the illuminated office books, for the service of the altar, the vestments, the corona lucis on the altar, the eagle of brass, together with many costly ornaments, are the gifts of private indi viduals. The first stone of the college was laid on St. Barnabas Day, 1846, by the Marquis of Westminster, who gave the site both for the church and college. It is in tended to educate choristers and other youths in the college, and to establish a body of sisters of mercy for parochial visiting. The church is intended to be entirely free, without pews or paid seats. Full choral service was performed by the Rev. T. Helmore and the boys of her Majesty's Chapel Royal, after which a sermon was preached by the Bishop of London. The consecration services were continued during the week, the sermons being preached by the Bishop of Oxford, Dr. Pusey, Archdeacon Manning, the Rev. W. Sewell, and the Rev. F. Bennett. It is understood that Mr. A. J. B. Hope, M.P. has been one of the principal contributors towards the new church and college of St. Barnabas. WHAT MR. NEWMAN IS Now TEACHING.—A cor respondent of the Church and State Gazette gives the following as a specimen of what " Father" Newman is now teaching, as a priest of Rome. ",It will be a source of exceeding regret to the present writer should he uncon sciously exaggerate Mr. Newman's doctrine upon this sub ject ; but his full conviction before the Searcher of Hearts is this—that never has there been ranted forth, in any conventicle here or abroad, more rabid and ruthless antinomianism than Father Newman enunciated in the Oratory on Thursday, the 7th of June last. The writer may safely appeal to all truthful witnesses there present whether or no this accusation is justified. Not only did Father Newman picture " a filthy . old woman, careless of truth," and, as far as human judgment could decide, utterly degraded as a member of society ; and then at once exalt her into hypothetical saintship by virtue of contrition before the priest," in contrast with other women of faultless reputation and fair conduct. This would be injurious in its tendency and tone; but the lecturer transcended all this. In order to vindicate his Church's apathy towards us (totidem verbis), although a man " had lived in continuous adultery, committed mur der," and as it were wallowed in all conceivable impurity and crime, yet by one faint movement of his will toward God, in confession and before the priest, by virtue of ab solution, THAT MAN was as moral, " clean," and spiritu ally white before Heaven's throne as if he had never sinned or fallen !—nay more, the antinomian enthusiasm of the lecturer did not pause even here; he concluded in a climax of moralanalysis, which seemed to say, a priest absolved adulterer and murderer is a much nobler speci men of man than one whose life had been unstained by fearful crime, apart from the justifying machinery of a R om ish confessional ! But, perhaps the reader may an ticipate 'Father Newman was at last content with such a rhetorical apology for crime and criminals. By no metals !—he actually took his audience in pictorial 'idea to a disgusting - public execution-scene; described in glowing pathos the intense eagerness of all Italian crowds to hear whether or no the criminal had repented and confessed ; and, when the attendant priest at last announced the sudden conversion of the criminal in his cell, just before his being brought forth for execution, he informed us—such is the piety of a Romish crowd, as contrasted with an English mob—a shout of spiritual triumph was heard to ascend from the assembled multi tude. Had this, too, been all, something might be said, perchance, to mitigate the antinomian effect of the entire narrative; but (as before) Mr. Newman was determined to canonise the criminal at once ; and so he dared to tell the audience that, as with baptised infants, so with executed criminals, it was almost a subject of spiritual gratitude to think " they were taken from the evil to come." ! ! I protest, before heaven, such lectures as these are not simply heretical in doctrine, but positive violations of common morals, as to their tone and influ ence." POLITICAL MISCELLANY. 4 Her Majesty will hold a court at Buckingham Palace to-morrow. The National Association has subscribed £5O to the Ten Hours Bill Committee. Lord Langdale is to be the speaker of the House of Lords on the resignation of Lord Cottenham. Mr. John O'Connell, M.P., is an aspirant for the first vacant stipendiary magistracy in the gift of the govern ment. It is said that there is sufficient wheat in store in France to suffice for the consumption until the Ist of Jan. next, without having recourse to the growing crop. Only 23 public acts of Parliament have been passed in the present session, up to Monday, commencing on the 31st of January last—a period of more than four months. A grand banquet will be given in Edinburgh, on the Bth of August, to the Duke of Richmond, G. F. Young, Esq., and other leading members of the National Asso ciation. Mons. Theirs has arrived in London. On Thursday, he paid a visit to the New Palace at Westminster. In the House of Peers he was cordially received by Lord Palmerston, Lord Brougham, and many other noble lords, who entered into conversation with him. A dinner is to be given to Earl Stanhope at Maidstone, on the 25th inst., at which it is expected that Messrs. C. F. Young, Cayley Worsley, J. Bell, P. Foskett, the Rev. C. Day, and other gentlemen who have already proved the sincerity of their adherence to protection, will be present. Mr. Bright, on Thursday, held up as a pattern to the house the wisdom of Quakers, who do not wear mourning, thereby saving their money and doing violence to a natural instinct which savages indulge and Christianity sanctifies. One would scarcely have thought the sentiment worthy of the commendation it received from Lord Ashley and Sir H. Verney, who "had never heard observations more likely to be of general utility." But ours is a very liberal age. Mr. Ferrand has accepted the invitation of the farmers of North Nottinghamshire, to address them this day in the Town-hall of East Retford. Yesterday he proceeded to London to meet a number of influential persons who will be assembled there from different parts of the country, for the purpose of forming a powerful working committee, and making the necessary arrangements for fully carrying out the intentions of the League. On Wednesday, Mr. Ferrand will address a large number of Wiltshire farmers at Salisbury, and arrangements are being made for meet ings to be held in several other southern counties, with the express intention of adopting the League. . . . . . „ A HUXTERING FREE-TRADE EARL.—It is stated that instead of Earl Grey employing tradesmen to find mate rials and do a job—for instance, a painter or a glazier— his Lordship himself finds the stuff ; he keeps a shop at Ho Nick, with a stock of colours and quantities of glass ; he has also a journeyman painter, named Henry Hunter, employed at 18s. per week, and joiners and others at low wages, who all do the ordinary work which used to be done by tradesmen from Alnwick. Large jobs are done by an Edinburgh house, and extra small jobs sent to Aln wick are done by day's work, or by estimate. His Lord ship has bad slaters from most parts of the county, be cause at a very small coin lower than their neighbours. He keeps a regular warehouse at Howick Red Steads, where a large assortment of valuable articles at the lowest rate can be had, such as lead, lead pipes, crates of glass, paints, locks, snecks, keys, and nails ; in fact, he gets nothing in Alnwick he can do without.—Newcastle Journal. THE CEYLON INQUIRY.—It is at length believed that the protracted proceedings of the committee appointed to inquire into the conduct of the Governor of Ceylon will shortly be brought to a close. The important evidence which Earl Grey attempted to suppress is now within their reach. Sir A. Oliphant, Lieutenant-Colonel Braybrooke, Captain Henderson, and Mr. Selby, have arrived in this country. But the affair has taken a very singular turn. It is understood that after Sir James Emerson Tennent had been examined, and had given evidence greatly:calcu lated to exculpate Lord Torrington, anothef witness pro duced a letter from this ill-advised nobleman, throwing overboard Sir James Tennent, the Secretary for Ceylon, , and loading him with the responsibility of all the acts of unpopularity. This ill-advised and unexpected s.ttack compelled Sir James Tennent, in self-defence, to throw off all reserve, and to produce a correspondence with his chief, which not only completely exculpated himself, but proved that the conduct of the Governor had been most injudicious:and improper. It also showed that the other party to thn attompt to Sarrifiro Sir Lad himself nropocpd one maned every one of the propositions on account of which the Secretary had been blamed by him. The correspondence thus produced is openly said to have been of the most damaging character to Lord Torrington. It will shortly be laid before Parliament, but it is already rumoured that the recal of Lord Tor rington has been decided on, and will be shortly publicly announced.—Recorder. THE MAJORITIES AGAINST GOVERNMENT.—The most characteristic feature of the proceedings in the House of Commons, this session, is the now strongly developed practice of the trick of "snatching" majorities on little questions. The moment a question is raised which it is felt will imperil the Government, members muster in force, and Ministers are sustained by large majorities. But on questions of little moment, there are parties con tinually on the watch, when the house is thin, and mem bers are dining, to snatch majorities on every topic. Within the la st ten days, we have had two such " victo ries"---on the post-office question, and the mode of levying the duty on home-made spirits at the worm's mouth. There is certainly a little deficiency of effective discipline on the part of the Government Treasury Secretaries; hut, at tile same time, there is more than usual wayward ness on the part of " honourable members." A Govern ment ought to have a sturdy and long-winded speaker, able to outface a clamour for a division. and competent to stand on his legs until dining members are "whipped" into the house. Some years ago, when the Government of Sir Rob ert Peel was beginning to de clire, but was still vigorous, there was a very thin house one evening, between seven and eight o'clock; and, on some question, the members on the opposition benches clamorouAyexclaimed, " Divide, divide There being nobody on the Treasury bench ready to get up, Mr. Peter Borthwick, though not accounted a ministerial member, was induced to speak against time; and when a member of the Government rapidly went out to the lobby, and returned with an orange to the orator, significant laughter and cheers indi cated that the thing was understood. But Mr. Borthwick talked until the house filled sufficiently to save the Government from a defeat.—Times. FOREIGN COMPETITION IN STEEL AND IRON.—We are indebted for the following fact to a friend upon whom we can rely :—Some time since he went through some of the large towns for information as to the real state of trade. He went, among others, to a file-maker's, at Birmingham, who complained very much of foreign com petition ; lie had bought a small file in a retail shop in Birmingham for 11d., which was made in Germany ; lie said he could not make it at his works for anything like the money. Our friend then took it to Sheffield, to one of the largest file manufacturers there, and asked him what he would make 100 dozen for. He replied, he could not possibly make them for less than 2s. 6d. per dozen, if even 1,000 dozen were taken. He then said the sample shown him was a foreign one, and supposing our infor mant was getting information he gave him an account of how these foreign files were produced. He bad been in Spain on purpose to ascertain the system, and he found they were made in country places. The master lived in what he called a mud-hut, and his workshop was com posed of the same material. He had about fourteen pauper boys ; to these he taught the trade, and fed and clothed them. The latter was of the meanest description, and the former, of which he saw them partake at dinner, consisted of a wooden bowl-tul of a mixture of water, meal, potatoes, and cabbage ; they had each a spoon and a piece of coarse bread, and the moment the mess was finished they returned to their work. This is the way in which they keep the life in those who produce foreign files, and it must not be forgotten that on this article there is 95 per cent. labour. Now there is little doubt but that this is a good sample of many countries in Europe. Would you reduce Englishmen to this ! and yet we shall be compelled to do it, if we are to live under the system of free trade, and there is not the least doubt but that under this system the wages of operatives will in the end be measured by the price of food.—Manchester Courier. PROTECTIONIST MEETING.—A Protectionist meeting was held on Monday, at Hadleigh, Suffolk. A large tent was procured for the occasion, opening at one end, so that it could accommodate great numbers. Mr. Cayley Wors ley, and Mr. Ball, of Burwell, attended as a deputation from the National Association. From 1000 to 1200 per sons attended : about 100 f r eet ra d ers occas i one d a little interruption, the most prominent of whom was a master shoemaker; he would have a large loaf, and endeavoured to excite the free-traders during Mr. Ball's address. Mr. Ball invited him to mount the table, and deliver his sen timents like a man, and not interrupt others : this he farode clined.
