These horses no doubt give the name of Monte Cavallo to this hill. The gardens adjoining the palace are extensive, but not very well cultivated';' there is a grand prospect from one of the walks. I had several strolls through this garden, at different times, with a German lady and the son of an eminent sculptor. The Quirinal Palace stands on the ruins of the baths of Constantine ; but how very inferiOr to the Vatican and St. Peter's. This Palace, however, must be very interesting at the election of a new pope. Dr. B. pointed out the closed-up window out of which i d s exhibited the votes, where every afternoon the conclave of Cardinals meet to decide which among them is to wear the Tiara. They are like our jurymen, almost starved into a decision, not without bandying, however, many passionate words, and now and then th inkstands thrown at each other's heads. A large crowd assemble daily to receive the decisive result, which sometimes requires many days' argument, consultation, and intrigue, before the sacred mantle falls upon the infallible Papa! But the immense Palace of the Vatican, adjoining St. Peter's Church, must command our greatest attention ; and here let me ok serve, that it is the magnitude of things at Rome that astonish you; whether it be the miles of catacombs under vastness of the tombs and aqueducts ; the :ichness, grandeur, and number of the churches ; the reasures of art in the palaces ; the largest collection in grouud, t alike to the Each, all thoughful mind, is a wonder and an admiration : think of a palace stand ing on 120,000 square yards of ground !

Here are the dark obscure works of An gelo, and of Raphael's master, Pietro Perugino. Opposite this is the Capella Paolina chapel. The two columns of the altar were brought from the pagan temple of Romu lus. From thence you pass out into the Loggia, or open gallery, beautifully ornamented by Raphael; from which is copied the decorations of the interior walls of our London Royal Exchange. What a pleasant lounge is it upon that gallery ! Curious works of art by Raphael on the ceilings Ipagna , and the mountains . , brining three-fourths of a circle, in the distance.

SOCIAL POSITION OF THE RAILWAY KING, (From the Railway Register.) It is for the good of railway companies that the railway board should have the proposed power, but we object to it because it is not for the good of the public. Railway shareholders have a yearning for " vested interests," and a.well-grounded fear of competition, and will cheerfully take M. Strutt's proffered boon. The great champion of monopoly, - Mr. Glyn, the godfather of the railway board, has already given his thanks for it, and that says a great deal; but looking at the public interests, which are of higher moment to all than vested interests," we be lieve that it would be very wrong to give railways a mo nopoly, even in the wardship of the new board, and it would be worse to release them from wholesome respon sibility. We hold with Mr. Hudson that the interests of the shareholders and the country agree ; and that such is the head and front of all railway policy. For speaking of his regard to public interests, Mr. Hudson has been laughed at in the house and out of it, but we defy any man to carry on a railway for selfish purposes without a regard for the public interests. Many have tried it, and all have failed, and most unwillingly do they acknowledge their error, but they , have been forced to take up the policy they slighted. • If Mr. Hudson, if railway chairmen had no such regard for public interests, how are we to explain the public po sition of Mr. Hudson, Mr. Chaplin, Mr. Russell, and so many others ? The bloated and selfish monopolist, as they call him, the golden calf of mammon, whose wor ship they say is a slur on the gentry of England, the grasping sharejobber and gambler, Mr. Hudson, is the most popular man in his own neighbourhood, and one of the best 1 beloved men in... Englan d -. Let his revilers ex plain this consistently with their own malignant and con temptible slanders. They can put a fair face upon every lie they invent, and can frame ill motives for every good act such a man performs, let them try their hands on his popularity, which is the real inducement to their envy, hatred, and malice. It will not do to say that he has given the poor of Yorkshire scrip at a premium, or that he has juggled •to swell their share property ' • it cannot be said that they are led by the influence of wealth to worship him, for there are few worshippers of the wealthy among the very poor, by whom the wealth of others is too often considered as wrung from their own misery. Go however among all classes, among the rich and the poor, in his own neighbourhood, and in the city of York in particular, and whatever envy , you may. find, still it will be seen that with all Mr. Hudson is popular. He is popular, because to his exertions and to his influ- ttey trace the increase of of their comforts, the cheapness of fuel ; they trace in their own persons and in their own households undeniable proofs of his well doing. If chalice first led Mr. Hudson into this career, when he had first entered it, it was little likely he should withdraw, but ambition as much as' any thing would carry him on. No man can cast away the _ _ . love and praise of ;the people when offered to him ; wealth we know to be but light in the scale when weighed against them ; and if Mr. Hudson began as a railway chairman with the hope of getting wealthy, he would soon, in growing popular at the time, be moved by the ambition of every Englishman to merit the confidence of the people. Five years ago, Mr. Hudson was unknown to the public generally : a year ago he was a humble member of the legislature ; at the present moment, he certainly )lace in the eyes of the public, as before of railway shareholders. The career of s great a Id I he did Mr. Hudson, though thoroughly English,. is without its like in English history, and we know no example where in time of peace a man has so suddenly clambered to such a height, which in times of w tion he finds it hard to reach. Here is - a .man who has the influence of a statesman, the political power of a boroughmonger, the patronage of a minister, the wealth of a capitalist, the skill of a financier, and 'the considera tion due to an honest man, whose sudden and unlooked for rise excites as much envy and curiosity as if he had supplanted dome one else, instead of creating a position of~liis own. This is a' man whom the city Of York flatters, to whom Sunderland, Whitby, and Burlington look up, whom Hull fears, whose patronage is courted by towns, as that of a Roman senator was of yore. Here is one holding no recognised public station, who administers millions of money, and who has at his command re- sources which woad enrich a mighty kingdom A STRANGE INCONSISTENCY -If a. single individual olect, the case in consequence of injustice or nc, excites the sympathy of all classes, fills the - columns of the press, occupies the public mind, forms the subject of ex cited conversation in private, the theme of animated dis cussion in parliament, and every one is anxious to apply a prompt and effectual remedy. Proclaim that ten thou sand lives are destroyed in one quarter of a year, in a part only of England, by causes which are removable—that is to say, in consequence of the neglect of authorities who have the power, and whose proper office it is, to remove these :causes—and it produces scarcely any impression. But while we remain apathetic, and do nothing, these de stroying agents steadily, though silently, pursue their work.—Dr. Southwood Smith RECEIPT FOR BOILING RICE Rice is generally recom mended to be used in lieu of vegetables during the preva lence of cholera ; but few persons are acquainted With the mode of preparing it for the table. The rice must be thoroughly scrubbed and rinced in several waters until the particles of flour, which are often sour or musty, are entirely removed. A handful of salt should be thrown into a pot of water, which last must boil before the rice is sprinkled in. The rice should be boiled steadily twelve minutes by the watch ; the water should then be poured off, and the pot covered and set close:to the tire to steam for ten minutes. 1 - --- "nrPd• and _bus prepared, and eaten with milk or rice is one of the most digestible articles of food butter in nature; but if badly cooked, few substances are mor apt to disorder the bowels. Two extremes are to h avoided. Ist. Rice ought not to be eaten at all raw This state is detected by crushing a few crams betweei of the grain, it is not sufficiently cooked. But, again, rice cannot when cooked be too dry or grainy,—by ‘thich is meant separated ; for if it be eaten in a pasty, starch like form, the gastric juice cannot penetrate it readily, and it will occasion dyspepsia. Again, unless the water absorbed in the boiling process is evaporated, the stomach would surcharge with fluid. No RAIN BEFORE THE FLOOD.—Your correspondent who signs himself " B. B." remarks that it is his opinion that no rain fell before the flood, and starts it by way of an original idea! I much fear the ancients have long since stolen his thoughts ; for he will find the matter fully contested by Jewish writers, and in later times by Burnet and Whiston, both of whom held that " no rain 3. B." has mitt& principal argument generally brought forward in support of his theory—namely, the concluding portion of Gen. vii. 11. But I confess it appears to me a thing utterly immaterial whether rain fell before the flood or no ; for in either case the objection of the infidel may be satisfac torily met. Let it be granted that rain had fallen, and that the bow had oftentimes been seen in the skies bear ing upon its fragile arch the heavy masses of clouds above; what then ? The words, "I do set (or appoint) my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth," would cause it for the future to be looked upon with the same increased degree of interest and veneration with which the Christian beholds the sacramental bread and wine, though familiar with the common uses of them both : he sees in them the symbol and the pledge of the benefits he receives from that Gracious Being who gave them, when thus employed, to be " effectual signs of grace and God's good will towards us." So would it be with Noah—so is it with his de- scendants.

TILE CANTERBIIItY ELECTION.—Mr. Twisden Hodges, it is understood, will come forward as a candidate for the representation of Canterbury, in the room of Mr. Brad shaw, whose demise we have elsewhere announced. Mr, Wilkinson, chairman of the London and Croydon Railway Company, is also spoken of. It is understood in the best informed parliamentary cir cles of the metropolis that, if the state of Ireland should not present an obstacle, there will be a general election in the autumn of the present year. The present session will be a short one, and, to suit the purposes of the very pliant Whig Ministry, as few difficult and debateable questions as possible will be brought forward. The statistics of the Board of Trade show a ruinous falling off in the export trade of the country, and an equally ruinous increase in the import trade. It is now seen, beyond the possjbility of a doubt, that the commer cial policy of Sir Robert Peel, which, be it observed, is equally that of the Russell party, is on the point of being exploded as one of the most signal errors ever committed by a man charged with the destinies of a nation. The personal quarrel between M. Guizot and the Mar quis of Norn - innby has been terminated by the joint exer tions of the King of the Belgians and Count d'Appony, the Austrian Ambassador. M. Guizot admits that he is wrong; and so both parties have shaken hands. The re conciliation only occurs in time to prevent the present threatening aspect of affairs leading into absolute hostility between the two countries. THE RESTLESS LORD.—Lord Stanley rose, a few nights ago, in the House of Lords, after Lord Brougham had de livered himself of the first of his nightly series of speeches. He remarked, in commencing a very short speech, that what he was about to say was in reply to some remarks which had fallen from his noble . friend, who had " just taken his seat." Chancing at that moment, however, to look round, and observing - Lord Brougham jumping about the House like a cricket, hosuddenly checked himself, and said, " I beg my noble friend's pardon, I meant my noble friend who never takes his seat." This, as may be sup posed, created a general laugh, in which Lord Brougham himself heartily joined. Mrt. BROTH ERTON, M.P.—ln Wednesday's debate on the Factory Bill, Mr. Brotherton made the following manly statement of the reasons that induced him to vote for a diminution of labour in factories. It was received with cheers from all parts of the House, and gracefully alluded to by Sir James Graham in his reply :—" When had been acquainted himself with this he knew the feelings and the sentiments wearisome foil Of those who , were employed in factories, and he had resolved at that time that, if ever he had the good fortune to be in a position in which he could be instrumental in shortening' factory labour, he would endeavour to accom plish that end ;. and he was proud to say the feelings of retained?' THE Scorcx FREE CHURCH.—On Tuesday, the Free Church Site Question was revived in the House of Com mons by Mr. Bouverie, who moved for a select committee to inquire whether "large numbers of her Majesty's sub jects in Scotland had not been deprived of the means of religious worship by the refusal of certain proprietors-to , grant them sites for churches." Both Sir James Graham , and Lord George' Bentinek opposed the motion, but it was supported by Lord John Russell and Sir Geo. Grey; and ultimately carried by a majority of 89 to 61, _We free Scotch seceders, however ineritorious'their independ ence and agitation ; yet we can hardly suppose that any or we presume t such a purpose. VOTES OF LANCASHIRE MEMBERS.—On Wednesdny, on the occasion of a motion being made for the House of Commons to go into committee upon the Factories Bill, an amendment was proposed by Mr. B.

EiPORT OF CORN TO FRANCE.—A vessel arrived in the Thames at the commencement of the past week from a port on the Lincolnshire coast, with a cargo of corn, which was intended for the London market, but which, on its arrival, was immediately bought up, and, without beinz landed there, exported to France. This, at the pre sent time, is a remarkable, although probably• by no means an isolated instance of the anomalous varieties of ()Hood both with respect to the sister isle and this country INSTALLATION OF A FRENCH LODGE OF FREEMASON —On Tuesday night, a very grand ceremonial took place at the Freemasons' Hall, Great Queen-street, Lincoln's Inn Fields, being the installation of the first French Freemasons' lodge in England. At the request of a. con siderable number of the brethren of the craft, natives, of France, a warrant for the installation of the lodge was granted by the Right Hon. the Earl of Zetland, the most worshipful grand master of England; and the ceremonies were conducted upon a very grand scale. CRACOW.—A very important meeting was held on Tuesday, at Freemason's-hall, to petition the crown on the late annexation of Cracow to the Austrian dominions. The Marquis of Northampton took the chair.

Since the year 1825, when the trade between Great Britain and Ireland was placed under coasting regulations, the official record of the interchange etween (except in so far as the article of ec•rll is concerned) has of necessity been discontinued. The foregoing return, therefore, has been framed from non.-cfficiat documents, collected at the ports of exportation, and consisting, tor the most part, of printed marketund. shipping reports. A LADY AND A BAILIFF.—A sheriff's officer, named Felton, who had been in search of a Miss Crossingham, of Ongar, Essex, during the last four months, on Thursday succeeded by stratagem in arresting her at her own house.

They 100 special constables hive been sworn in, and everything assumes a most threatening aspect. We have too much cause to fear serious consequences, unless by some means or other peace be restored." We have learned, in addi tion to the above, that on Wednesday evening another gun was placed on the brae, and that the feelings of the people continue wound up to the greatest pitch. Assemblages at night are frequent, and threatenings ot violence are severed in. The peaceable inhabitants are kept in a state terror from these manifestations. EXTRAORDINARY CASE.— .._ Aiursday, a yowl man, n in amed ~Hannah awson, cut er throat home, Queen-street, D Leeds. A young surgeon wa called in immediately, nouncecl her dead, and left her. She was then laid upon a bed up stairs, uncovered, in readiness for a coroner's jury to view her body. After the lapse of about an hour, one of the Leeds policemen, who was passing, asked, out 'osity, to see the " deceased." 1-fia of cu.. nis wish was com plied with, and the policeman proceeded up stairs, and found her actually breathing. Another surgeon was called in ; she was then removed to the Infirmary, and was on Friday very satisfactorily recovering. Had the policeman's curiosity not led him to desire to see the unfortunate fe male, she would no doubt, in her exposed state, have been starved to death, if she had not expired from loss of blood. —Leeds Mercury. CORN STATISTICS.—Accounts of wheat, wheat flour &c., imported into the united kingdo.m_in the year 1846 &e., have been laid before the Hoiise of Commons on the motion of Mr. Trotter. The total quantity of wheat im ported into the united kingdom during *he year 184(' , owing March 9, ISI/. A DEPLORABLE MURDER AND SUICIDE has been COnt. mitted at Broughton, a village about seven miles from Newark, on the Lincolnshire side. John Martin, a la bouring bricklayer, who had been married only a year, had been rather low-spirited on the previous day, and in the evening he sent his wife to a public-house to fetch some beer. During her absence he seized their sleeping infant, four months old, from its cradle, enveloped it in a shawl, and hurried out of the house. A search was insti tuted, and, and in a horse-pond, at a short distance, the coat of a man was seen on the surface of the water. Ad ditional aid was called, and then it was found that MF tin and his child (the latter firmly clasped in his arms) were drowned. The man had apparently committed' he act under the. influence of temporary madness, and at the inquest a verdict to that effect was returned. HOUSEBREAKING BY FEMALES. — On Saturday night, about nine o'clock, Miss Leven, who resides at Meadow bank, Patrick, on returning from Glasgow, was astonished to see a light in the back part of the premises, when, as she was aware, no person could have gained admission• to the house in a legitimate manner. She opened the door, however but she had only got a step or two within the lobby, when a girl rushed past her and made her escape- She then alarmed the neighbours, and the house was looked over, and all was believed to be right ; but Miss Leven's suspicions not being entirely allayed, two hours afterwards, when about to retire for the night, she bega n to examine the room, and on lifting up the curtain, th ere she found another girl hid under the bed. As soon as practicable, she was sent to the Western Police-office, where some small articles of property, belonging to Miss Leven, were found in her possession. Her name is Mary Smith, and she is only aliont twelve years of age. SELLING POISONOUS ROOTS.—An old nian, named Thomas Lord, was remanded from the Worship-street Police Court, on Wednesday, charged with offering poi sonous roots for sale. As Mr. Imray, an herbalist,. was waiting for an omnibus in Whitechapel, on Tuesday even ing, Lord came up to him and asked him to buy some roots that he called English gentian, and which he recom mended for making atonic and alterative"decoction. Mr. Imray's professional knowledge enabled him to detect that the roots were of white briony or hellebore, a decoc tion of which, made and taken as prescribed by the pri-• soner, would certainly destroy life. The prisoner had in , his basket about twenty pounds weight of these roots, sufficient, Mr. Imray said, to poison w whole district, Mr. Imray recognised in Lord a person he had cautioned some months ago against selling thesekroots ; and, beliei ing him to be dangerous, he gave him into custody. The case will undergo a full investigation on , Wednesday. .SABBATH DESECRATION.—III the court and fashion able news of last week's London papers; we find the fol lowing notices thus set forth : "Their Royal Highnesses the Duke and Dachess of Cam bridge entertained a select party to dinner on Sunda y last at Cambridge House." "Lord and Lady Brougham received a distinguished circle to dinner on Sunday evening at their mansion in Grafton-street." These are not extracted on account of their 'novelty, for, we much regret to say, they are of weekly occurrence ; but we calf attention to the practice, in order to show how futile are the exertions of pious ministers and active laymen to obtain a better observance of the Sabbath so long as " select parties " and " distinguished. circles " are tolerated by; royalty and nobility on the Lord's day. The worldly minded in the less wealthy ranks of society seize upon such examples as a ready excuse for their own transgressions inthe eyes of this world; but how will the excuse avail withe him who has said, " Remember the Sabbath day to keep it holy." THE REV. H. BrAINT ON THE ABOLITION OF CAPITAL PENALTIES.—" Wlioso sheddeth man's blood, byi man shall his blood be shied, forin the image of God made-He man." Here is an express command of God, which;like marriage and the Sabbath, anticipated the ceremonial law, and therefore was certainly not abrogated when that necessarily passed away : and however, in these later . times, feeling may overpower obedience, it would be diffi cult to show a more express or binding obligation than this command conveys Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed." In such cases man has but one course—to listen and to obey. It is not for him , to affect more feeling than his Creator. God has com— manded, and, doubtless, some wise and merciful purpose,• though we know it Rot, has inspired that command ; and: we are not to inquire why does God order; but what does God order ? Happy .the mind that is brought into this. state of subordination to the will of the Almighty, that , upon this, as upon every.subject, it requires only to have' that will distinctly pointed. out, to listen, to receive, and: to obey it. LIBERATION OF A CON - V . /CT.—George Sands, who was tried at the Lancaster assiaes in the early part of last year, for hiring a horse and chaise and subsequently selling them, and failing' at the time to prove an alibi, owing to doubts of the credibility .of the witnesses in his favour, was found guilty and sentenced to ten years' transporta tion. The prisoner was embarked in the China, convict ship, for conveyance to , Bermuda, when a petition vv,as forwarded to the Secretary of State for the Home Depart ment, asserting the innocence of the prisoner, and offering to produce further evidence than had been brought for ward at his trial. Sir James Graham' ordered, his removal from the convict ship until the charge was investigated, and Mr. Duncombe having recently taken up the case, the friends of the prisoner were able to produce evidence which was perfectly satisfactory to Sir George Grey, who consequently granted the prisoner a special pardon, and he was liberated, on Thursday, after being nearly twelve months on board the hulks, and employed as a convict i 0 I.IIC v.
