Tlie Duke of RICHMOND , as chairman of the committee ap pointed to inquire into th e fees and salaries received by officers of the house, laid their report on the table. The noble duke then explained the principle adopted by the committee in their report, which had been, to avoid recommending paltry savings in well-deserved salaries, but, at the same time, to animadvert stropgly on the extravagant emoluments derived from certain Officgs, among which he especially mentioned that of doorkeeper.

HOUSE OF COMMONS— Mr. J. :-A'L'A RT gave notice of his intention to move, amendment, to Mr. Ileywood's motion for a royal commission to inquire into the universities, a resolution to the effect that any advice given to her Majesty to issue a royal commission to inquire into the revenues and management of any college or hall in the universities, not of royal foundation, tends to a vio lation of the laws and constitution of the kingk rights and liberties of her Majesty's subjects.

Mr. DISRAELI remarked that, although the budget had been commenced two months ago, it was not yet finished, and no one 'had an idea of the distinct views er policy of the Govern ment on the vital question of the national finances, and there fore he thought it would be most indiscreet fer the house to vote away public money without a clear exposition from the Government of their intentions. Lord J. RUSSELL Said he would not accept the invitation to enter into the details of the financial policy of the Govern ment ; but he would examine the financial policy of the hon. member, which was as wavering and inconsistent as it was possible to imagine. If free-trade had brought all the ruin on the country that had been charged upon it, it was the duty of those who thought so to bring forward a distinct proposition for the condemnation of free trade, and for a return to that policy by which the price of food would be enhanced. Lord J. MANNERS justified the votes - given by Mr. Disraeli and those hon. members who acted with him. M. HUME blamed both the Government and gentlemen opposite for their conduct : and contended that a reduction of the establishments was the only means of affording relief to the country. After a few remarks from Col. SIBTHORP, the House re wired into Committee of Supply pro forma, and immediately resumed, it being midnight, and too late for Sir F.

His family had received no tidings of him from that time, and every one believed him dead, when he suddenly pre sented himself to the astonishment of those of the inha bitants of Montastruc who remembered him.

The Pope is really at Rome again. Ceremonials, splen did and picturesque, half ecclesiastical, half military, attended his return. But that entertaining personage, the Italian correspondent of the Times, who was busy, as usual, in the crowd, could espy no tokens of enthusiasm beyond the waving of silk and cambric—and the enthu siasm wanted here, he shrewdly remarks, is the ruder devotion of those who have no handkerchiefs to wave. Ladies' handkerchiefs, indeed, do not count for much under such circumstances : demonstrations of this sort will not go far towards solving the perplexed problem which Pius IX. has now to face for the second time. The apathy that has prevailed throughout his protracted ab sence has proved that all real attachment to the Papacy is completely dead in the states of the church. Can he revive it ? Can he reign without it ? LATER FROM RIO, BAHIA, & PERNAMBUCO DISASTROUS EFFECT OF THE FEVER. . By the arrival of the Emma, on Friday night, at Liver pool, from Pernambuco in 29 days, we have advices from Rio to the 15th March, from Bahia to the 22d, and from Pernambuco to the 27th. The fever was still prevalent at all these places, but had not extended beyond Pa raiba northwards. At Rio it had been confined altogether to the shipping in the harbour; hut previously to the sailing of the Emma, it had broken out in the city. The deaths were altogether at Rio from one hundred to two hundred daily ; and the utmost terror prevailed, the traders and others from the mining districts, instead of coming down to the city as usual to make their purchases and to dispose of their pro duce, stopping at a station about twenty miles off, where the route by mules terminates, and having forwarded their produce by canal, they hurry back into the interior. Among the deaths at Pernambuco had been that of Joshua Goring, Esq., for many years a reseeded resident at Rio, and more recently vice-consul of Great Britain at the former place. Another eminent British merchant, Mr. Stewart, of Pernambuco, is reported as having been given up by his medical advisers, and was not expected to survive many hours. A hope was entertained that the approach of the cold season would shortly arrest the pro gress of the pestilence, or that a south-west wind, to the absence of which for some eime it is in a great measure attributed, would dissipate it altogether. Business was almost entirely at a stand still, in part awing to the panic caused amongst all classes by the fever, and in part to the effect of a glut of goods. The stock s on hand are unprecedentedly heavy, and the large imports arriving had a further depressing effect upon prices. There were already sufficient goods in the country to last the whole of this year, according to present pros pects. SYMPTOMS OF CONSPIRACY.—A letter from Rome of the 14th, in the Constitzaionnel, says—" On the evening of the 10th, the enemies of order who for the last few days have been engaged in covering the walls of Rome with placards insulting to the church, to its venerable head, and to the French army, have attempted to alarm the people by spreading sinister reports, and by causing the explosion in the Via Della Vignuccia of a box full of projectiles. Fortunately, at the late hour at which it took place, the detonation did no mischief beyond break ing some windows, and arousing the people from their sleep. In the morning of the 11th, similar placards were distributed, but they did not prevent the illumination at night. The same evening a soldier on duty near the Quirinal saw about twenty individuals assembled around the gate of the palace, opposite the convent of the Ado ration. He gave the alarm, and they fled in the direc tions of the Quattro Fontaine, leaving behind them packets of 'matches and two bottles of spirits of turpen tine, which leads to the supposition that they were about to attempt to set &re to the palace." IRELAND. Almost immediately after the cessation of the late storm in Dublin, glaziers' wages rose to fifteen shillings per day, and glass to more than ten times its ordinary value. On Tuesday evening a magnificent and numerously at tended soiree was given to the Messrs. Beers in Dublin. The Rev. W. Fry, grand,chaplain to the Orange Institu tion was in the chair.

William Murphy was hanged at Cork on Tuesday for murder. He made a declaration in Irish, which was in terpreted by the Very Rev. Thomas Barry, amounting to a full confession of the murder, and expressive of the deepest penitence. A search was made for seditious papers in a ,eLub-room at Cork, An Monday night. A number of persons, chiefly tradesmen, were found assembled, and their nam e s were taken by tbe police, and the document found ati3on them, and printed as seditious by the local conservative journal, was headed " Democracy all over the world," and addressed .to Nationalists of Cork," About nine o'clock on Tuesday night, a farmer named Spearman, , who resided near New Birmingham, was way laid on the road nearly midway between that village and Ballingarry, and shot dead on the spot. Although the scene of the tragedy was a: public thoroughfare, the body lay on the ground without any notice of the occurrence being conveyed to the authorities till the middle of the next day. It is asserted in the .Dublin Nation, on the authority of " a sure source in Australia, that Smith O'Brien is held.in close and solitary confinement by the English au thorities.; forbidden all intercourse with his fellow exiles; attended by turnkeys who are under strict orders not to exchange a syllable with him ; visited by his gaoler at midnight:; and subject to ail the systematic and killing espionage of a Prussian or Austrian state prison." Two soldiers of the 74th Regiment, stationed at Clon mel, committed suicide. The first-named, William Wil liams, a native of Sligo, shot himself through the head on Monday. The horror of this occurrence had scarcely subsided, when on the following morning, whilst the men were on parade, another private of the same regiment, a Scotchman, named Duncan Love, by trade a tailor, also drove a musket-ball through his skull. Both were of weak intellect, through drink. MURDER BY SERVANTS.—The principals in the murder of Mr. O'Donnell, of Knock, were his domestics, and are now in custody. A female servant was the person who opened his desks after the deed was perpetrated, and paid the murderers of her master, who was in the habit of keeping large sums of money on the premises. The male and female servant concerned intended leaving for America. After committing the robbery, one of the mur derers went back and replaced the keys in his pocket. There was other property stolen, which was found buried in a dung-pit : As yet no money has been found. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—Mr. Napier said, during the debate on the Universities on Thursday, that with one or two exceptions (founded with special restrictions) " all ours and emoluments were op en t o Roman Catho snd shared by them equally with Protestants. He, s a Protestant, had no advantage which a Roman Catho lic did not possess. (Hear, hear.) Where, then, was the grievance ? (Hear, hear.) The case of Trinity College was not like that of the English universities. Trinity College had not been founded before the Reformation. Trinity College was founded by Queen Elizabeth, and the terms of the charter were that the college was founded for the purpose of cultivating religion." vv eunesuay morning, upwards of 100 persons left, and at the half-past nine o'clock train several more took their departure ; and as from most other parts of Ireland, they were , mostly all of the indus trious and enterprising class—persons who are a real loss s will enrich that of their of the week we have to to this country, and just such mong the emigra present earl, in memory of his father; also of the Down. shire testimonial, erected but recently at Hillsborough.

EXTRAORDINARY EVIDENCE.—At the sessions in Mal low, an unhappy wretch was indicted for stealing turnips from the field of Mr. Leader, the principal witness being the watchman The attorney who defended the prisoner endeavoured to shake the testimony of the witness, who swore that he was as near the prisoner as " the length of himself t" hilt_ upon being further pressed, he coolly said; "Didn't I know what the attorney would be at, and what he'd try to d took off ph ca of his car, that I might match it the next day." This terrific statement was mournfully cor roborated by the prisoner in the dock, who turned his mutilated ear to the bench, crying out at the same time in a piteous tone, " Oh ! wisha, me Lard, slime enuf he did crap me !"

Hobart Seymour, in an elaborate argument shows " that the words of the creed, instead of being translated one baptism for the remission of sins,' ought to be translated one baptism lint° the dismissal of sins,'—that is, a baptism signifi. cant of our dismissing, forsaking, leaving, or putting away our sins. I maintain that the article was designed to refer, not to the past life but to the future life of the baptized. And thus while the argument of the Bishop of Exeter and his followers, applying it to the forgiveness of past sins, requires that this article be interpreted as referring to the previous life of the baptized, my view, which interprets the article as teaching the forsaking of sin, refers it to the fu ture life of the recipients." Two leading Tractarians, viz., the Rev. Mr. Dodsworth and the Rev. Mr. Maskell, vicar of Mary Church, chap lain to the Bishop of Exeter, after a careful and conscien tious revision of the judgment of the Privy Council, have lately expressed themselves favourable to the decision. The first says, " I cannot now feel certain that the Re formers did not intend to leave baptismal regeneration an open question." Mr. Maskell says, that, as the case went on, "it was impossible not to feel more and more that the reasons and arguments of the evangelical party had been too lightly esteemed, and that the evangelical clergy, as a party, no less than the Anglican or high church party, represent and carry out the spirit and the system of the English Reformation, as declared by con temporary authorities, and sanctioned by existing formu laries." EXPENSES AT COLLEGE.—In the speech of Sir R. H. Inglis during the debate on the Universities, on Thurs day, the right hon. bart. said—" He dared to say many honourable gentlemen had seen the letter of an Anxious Father' in the newspapers, who stated that he had seen the college bills of fifteen young men, and that the average excess of expenditure over their incomes was £B5O. Now, he held in his hand several statements which showed a different result. At one eminent college, a young man who held a county exhibition of £6O, and a foundation larship of £4O, went up to take his degree without . He had there the accounts of four young Oxford men for the last year (1849). The expenses of No. 1 were £B5 4s. 4d. for the entire year, everything included. The expenses of No. 2 were £94 ; of No. 3 £9l 6s. sd. ; and of No. 4, who was a clergyman, and well known to him (Sir R. Inglis) for the entire of his course, the ex penses were only £330 4s. scl. He had the accounts of five Cambridge men, one of them was a friend of his own The first expended during the entire perio( 335_ Ws.; the secon the nd the of h9s urn £332 7 Bs. 9d Another gen'tleman had told him that £l3O a year was sufficient to enable a young man to pay all his expenses during his course up to the taking of his degree. And one of the most distinguished men living told him that during his undergraduate course his ex penses averaged only £l4O a-year, out of which he paid not only for tuition, but all his personal expenses; and, as some of his friends were rich young men, he was obliged to follow their example, and give occasional entertainments. He also hired horses, being fond of equestrian exercise, and yet he left college free from debt.

UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS, ASTBURY, CHESHIRE.—This rectory is now vacant by the death of the Rev. Willoughby Crewe; value £1,485 ; patron, Lord Crewe. - The Rev. Patrick Malone, M.A., has been licensed by the Lord Bishop of Chester to the Stipendiary Curacy of Clifton, in the county of Cumberland, on the nomination of the Rev. Joseph Hetherington, M.A., the incumbent. The vendors of blasphemy and obscenity are taking advantage of the angry tone of the Bishop of Exeter's letter to sell penny extracts of its most violent paragraphs, to show what bishops say and think of each other. The Rev. Edward Bennett Williams has resigned the perpetual curacy of Bispham, near Blackpool, on account of the ill health of his wife. The Vying is valued at £275 per annum, and is in the gift of the Rev. Charles Hes keth, rector of North Meols, near Southport. At the Arches Court on Tuesday, the court, on appli cation from Mr. Bowlder, proctor for the Rev. C. Gor ham, granted a certificate in extension of a monition which had been issued calling on the Bishop of Exeter to induct Mr. Gorham to the vicarage of Bramford Speke. OXFORD UNION SOClETY.—Several copies of the Morn ing Chronicle have been substituted for a corresponding number of the Times heretofore taken in by this society, in consequence of the high tone on church matters adopted by the former, until lately a radical paper. The Bishop of Gloucester states in a letter, that "all the members of the English episcopate are at this time in anxious deliberation on the subject of the constitution of the present Court of Appeal in matters ecclesiastical." It is said that only two of the episcopal bench are in favor of a meeting of convocation being summoned. In the Court of Arches, on Tuesday, the Rev. Edward Dodd, Vicar of St. Peter's, Cambridge, for refusing to bury, on the 31st of December, 1848, a parishioner, due notice having been given, was suspended for two months ; notice of appeal was given. The monition to the Bishop of Exeter was allowed to stand over till next term. In Glasgow, from the recent church divisions, with many churches open and many laborious and able men teaching, there are also many shut from want of congre gations, and the population, adding " drunkenness to thirst," amidst all their spiritual advantages, is more degraded by intemperance than perhaps any other in the kingdom. The Weekly Chronicle states that a dispute is likely to arise between the Bishop of Oxford and her majesty's government regarding the appointment of the Rev, S. M. Barkworth, M.A., to the rectory of St. Clements, in the city of Oxford, by the Lord Chancellor. For soliciting this post, the Bishop of Oxford formerly declared that he would not allow Mr. Barkworth to officiate in his diocese. An addl.( as to the Bishop of Chester, signed by Lord de Tabley, Mr. Mainwaring, and several others, both of the laity and clergy of the diocese, is now in course of signature, praying his lordship " To take counsel with his right reverend brethren, concerning the adoption of means which may enable the hurch to declare, in such terms as shall appear most effectual, its doctrine touching the Sacrament of Baptism." Oxford, April 24.—1 n a convocation holden this day, the following degrees were conferred :—Masters of Arts. —Christopher Cookson, fellow of St. John's ; Rev. H. Jeremiah Dyson, fellow of All Souls; Rev. T. Bowles, Queen's; Rev. Frederick Henry Hotham, Christchurch. Bachelors of .Arts.—Edward James Bolling, University ; Reginald William Cleave, Exeter; Ferdinand William Becker, Exeter; James Allgood, Brazenose ; Thomas Stedman Polehampton, scholar of Pembroke; A. Knox, St. Mary Hall ; Frederick J. Coleridge, St. Mary Hall ; George Philipps, New Inn Hall. The scheme proposed for the foundation of the school of modern history at Oxford was carried on Tuesday by a majority of 163 to 74. The plan requires from the candi date for a common degree a knowledge of one of two pe riods of English history, viz., from A.D. 1066 to 1509, or from A.D. 1509 to 1702, no books being specified ; to gether with half of Blackstane's Commentaries (in the most approved edition) ; but for the latter the Institutiones Imperiales may be substituted. For the candidate for honours, the history, Recentiorum Temporum, np to A.D. 1789, Jurisprudence, and especially the Laws of England, Civil Law, or the Jus Belli et Pacis, are indispensible ; to which may be added Smith's Wealth of Nations. THE GORHAM CASE AGAIN.—In spite of the inge nuity of Sir Fitzroy Kelly, the Bishop of Exeter's cause stands precisely where it did. Sir Fitzroy Kelly's argu ment in the Queen's Bench amounted to this—that non obstante the repeal of the 25th Henry VIII. (which established appeals from the Ecclesiastical Courts to the King in Chancery), by the substitution of the present appeal from the Ecclesiastical Courts to the Sovereign in Council, and although the Judicial Committee had superseded the High Court of Delegates, yet that by a statute, still ,anrepealed, of the preceding year (the 24th Henry VIII.), appeals in certain ecclesiastical causes lay to the Archbishop, and in matters tauching.the King, to the Upper House of Convocation. It was submitted that Mr. Gorham's duplex querela was a matte? " touching the King," since the presentation to the living of Ramp- , ford Speke is in the Crown, and that, therefore, the appeal properly was to the Upper House of Convocation. Lord Chief Justice Campbell, is a luminous and rather laboured judi;rnent, has decided that an old and obselete statute ought not to overrule the cotwee of the law and the prac tice of Area renturies, Therefore, Mr, Gorham is again victorious. Asaph, St. David's, and Worcester, remain undisturbed, with inconsiderable exceptions. The . . rough,Ripon, St ?pointing lan it has proved in the metropolis. The Stepney meeting resulted in an absolute defeat of its originators. Exeter and azford dioceses are slightly dis turbed. The agitation in the latter is said, however, to be confined to an indirect attack on the decision of the Judicial Committee,chieflvat the instance of the diocesan, whose chaplains and rural deans have been active, though "erward. At the Read- :ry is even more disa e malcontents t come openly Jug .Arcimeacon is rens ►n the chair, the Rev. Austen Leigh expressly disclaimed, indeed, any intention of impugning the recent decision; hut it appeared that no copies or tne resolutions bad been forwarded to the clergy supposed to be Anti-Traetarfan ; and the bishop's name was freely quoted as favourable to the agitation. After the first resolution was passed by 74 to 20, violent Other resolutions the Queen', ion ensued rnacy, and the union of the ch urc h w ith the state, and supre- a large body of the clergy left the room. The number of the clergy of the arclideaconry is about 250. fhe Arch deacon of Oxford, who was present, did not vote. — Church and State Gazette. LAW INTELLIGENCE, 4- - COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.-TUESDAY, THE QUEEN V. GEORGE DIXON. In this case a rule had been obtained for a quo war ranto, calling on the defendant to show by what authority he claimed to be the Mayor of Carlisle. The facts of the case were these :—The defendant was well qualified to be put on the citizen roll of Carlisle for the years ending on the Ist of November, 1848 and 1849. In the year ending on the Ist of November, 1848, he actually was on that roll ; but in the next year he was not. On the 12th of November, 1847, he whs elected town councillor, to go out of office on the Ist of November, 1850. On the 9th of November, 1848, being then a town councillor, he was elected mayor, but he wrim not then on the citizen roll of the city. It was necessary that the mayor should be cho sen from among the councillors or aldermen, and the question was whether, not being on the roll at th e ti me h e was elected mayor, he could be said to be well elected to the office. The court decided that his worship's election was per fectly valid. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—THURSDAY. (Sittings in Banco.) THE QUEEN V. WILLMER AND SMITH. The Attorney-General applied to the Court the hearing of this rule to stand over until after an action at law had been tried. He said that this was an application for a criminal information against the defendants for a libel upon the proprietors of the electric telegraph. The very same alleged libel had been published in the Morning Herald, and an action had been brought against Mr. Chapman, the publisher of that paper. The defendant in that action had put in a special justification on the record ; and it would be convenient, if not just, that the rule for a criminal information should not be made absolute until after the jury in the civil case had pronounced a verdict on the question whether the inculpated matter was libel lous or not. The Court remarked that the defendants in the criminal and civil cases were not the same, and that the Court could not, according to any rules of practice, make one proceed ing dependent on another where the parties were not the same in both. Application refused. Mr. R. Gurney, Q.C., has been elected judge of the Sheriff's Court for the city of London. The Oxford Circuit Bar, through their leader, Mr. W. Whateley, have addressed Lord Campbell, congratulating his Lordship on his elevation to the office of Chief Justice of England, to which his Lordship has replied in suitable terms. Sergeant Wilkins applied to the court of Exchequer, on Tuesday, for a rule for a new trial in the case of " O'Connor V. Bradshaw," recently tried at the Middlesex Assizes, when the verdict was for the defendant, the pro prietor of the Nottingham Journal. It was hinted that a compromise would be come to. The court took time to consider. Application was made at the Bail Court, on Tuesday, for a criminal information against a gentleman who had sent a challenge to one of his wife's relatives, the ground of offence being that the challenged party had received the wife and child of the challenger at his house, contrary to the challenger's wishes. The writer added, that he should consider the challenged " a dastardly coward," if he refused theccombat. The rule was granted. On Thursday, in the Court of ,Queen's Bench, Sir F. Thesiger obtained a rule nisi against Mr. Latimer, the proprietor of the Plymouth Journal, for an alleged libel on Miss Sellon and the other Sisters of Mercy at Devon port. The libel charged the sisters with purchasing a communion service, which they have presented to a church at Devonport, out of the funds of their institu tion.—A rule was made absolute against the same de. fendant for a libel on the Rev. G. R. Prynne, whom he charged with immorality. CO - STS IN COUNTY COURTS.—The Times prominently calls attention to the practice of attornies bringing actions in the superior courts, which may be tried in the county courts, and points out that by this practice they secure to themselves high costs, which their clients, though they be successful.plaintiffs in the actions, have to pay out of their own pockets. There is one particular section in the county court act which declares that where a plaintiff brings his action for a debt under £2O in a superior court, and the verdict shall be for a sum less than £2O, the plaintiff shall have the debt only, and shall himself pay his own costs ; but if a verdict be given for the defendant, then the plaintiff shall pa) the defendant's costs, as be tween attorney and client. Thus in such cases the plain tiffs have to pay their own cost of the proceedings, which far exceed any debt they may have recovered. When they have expected to receive their £5 or £lO, they will find, to their great chagrin, that that is a mere legal fic tion ; for they will have to pay their own attorney from £25 to £3O. The Times suggests that in such cases, where the attorneys bring actions in the superior courts instead of the county courts, they shall themselves be mulcted by the court in the costs which their clients would have to pay. BREACH OF PROMISE OF MARRIAGE—FIFTY-FOUR Arin TWENTY-FOUR.—Sergeant Shee moved in the Court of Exchequer, on Monday, for a new trial in the case of Adams v. Gibbs, tried at Maidstone, before Chief Justice Wilde, on the ground of misdirection and excessive da mages. Mr. Gibbs, a farmer, aged fifty-four, sought Miss Adams, aged twenty-four, in marriage. All the preliminaries were arranged, wedding-dresses bought, and even the wedding breakfast ordered, when the defendant suddenly set off to Liverpool, and subsequently to Ame rica. Sergeant Shee contended that the damages, £BOO, were excessive. The defendant was ready to pay hand somely for his refusal to marry the plaintiff, but £BOO was far too much. What loss had the plaintiff sustained ? There was no interesting correspondence, no sentimental courtship, no broken heart, or anything of that sort. (Laughter.) What bad been the lossof this young lady ? She had lost a husband of fifty-four. Why, what had a man of fifty to do with a young wife s4f twenty-four? Nothing at all. She would be much better without him. ,(Laughter.) Sir F. Pollock.—lt is all very well for you, Brother Shee, who are under fifty, to say that ; but I can assure you that men far advanced beyond that age some times think differently. (Immense laughter.)
