prortibings ut Vartiannnt. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-WEDNESDAY. Sir J. WALMSLEY complained of the distance of the com mittee-room from the house, which prevented gentlemen en gaged in committee from reaching in time to make a house. lie was . too 'ate the previous evening, though he left the com mittee-room the m meat he received notice that the Speaker was at prayers.—Mr. WILLIAms said that he ran the risk of having his coat torn off his back, in forcing his way through some 50 members, who nere trying to keep him hack, at the same time telling him not to make a house.—Lord MELGUND moved the sec,nd reading of the School Establishment (Scot land) Bill. The bill was supported as necessary to provide for the defiCiencies of the present system, and :s a moderate fulfil ment of the wants and wishes of the people of Scotland.—The measure was opposed as subversive of the present system, as taking from the General Assembly and parochial clergy all control Over the - education of the people, and as tending to se parate religious from secular education. —Although the mea sure was supported by the Lord Advocate and Lord John Rus sell, it was thrown'out, on a division, by 137 against 124. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-THURSDAY, The consideration of the St. Alban's Bribery Commission Bill was resumed in committee, commencing with the 13th clause.- 4 0n this clause. Mr, J. STUART objected to the further progress of the measure, on the ground that it was unconstitu tional. He, therefore, moved that the chairman do leave the chair.— Mr. ELLICE and several other members resisted the notion, and, after a languid debate, the house divided. The numbers were, for Mr. Stuart's motion, 10 ; against it,.54; majority, 44.—The second reading of the Metropolis Water Bill was carried by a majority of 95 to 79.—Mr. TH 01 BARING then moved a resolution to the effect that the treasury minute permitti4►g the mixture of chicory with coffee was contrary to the excise regulations, had encouraged fraud, and consequently ought to be revoked.—The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said coffee was more wholesome for being mixed with chicory. —Several members of both sides begged of the Chancellor of the Exchequer to accede to the motion, but he declined, and on a division it was lost by a majority of 95 to 89.—0 n the motion of Col. SIBTHORP, leave was given to introduce a bill (after wards brought in) to prohibit the use of advertising vans and barrel-organs in the streets of the metropolis. - - -ea- HOUSE OF LORDS.-FRIDAY. A petition presented by Lord Monteagle from the inhabitants of New South Wales against the system of transportation to that colony, was, after a few observations from Earl GREY, laid on the table.—ln reply to some remarks by the Duke of Richmond, the Duke of ARGYLE said he proposed to move that his bill on the Salmon Fisheries of Scotland should go into committee on the first Monday after Whitsuntide. Their lord ships adjourned until Monday next. HOUSE OF COMMONS.-FRIDAY. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that the house, at its rising to-day, do adjourn to Thursday, for the Whitsuntide recess, and stated that on that day he should propose the naval estimates. On Friday the miscellaneous estimates would be proceeded with, and a vote would be taken on account of the Kairre war. For the convenience of the members connected with Ireland, he would not proceed with the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill till the Friday after. In answer to a question from Mr. Scholfield, Sir G. GREY said he had received no communications from the Mayor of concerning the erection of a large con vent within that borough.—Mr. SPOONER repeated an assertion he previously made to the effect that, beneath the ground floors of the building there were cells, intended, no doubt, for the inmates of the convent.—Mr. MOORE warmly repudiated this insinuation.—Mr. HUME postponed his motion for Parliamen tary Reform till the Ist of July.—He then resumed the ad journed debate on the nomination of the Select Committee on the Income and Property Tax. The hon. gentleman defended at some length the nomination he had made, and entered into a general review of the natureand constitution of the select corn mittee.—After some discussion the debate was adjourned until Friday next, it being arranged that four named by Mr. Hume —Mr. Ricardo, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. Cobden, and Mr. Horaman, should be allowed to remain on the list, and that the Chancel lor of She Exchequer should nominate tee rest.—The house then resumed the consideration of the Ecclesiastical Titles Bill in committee on clause 2.—Mr. REYNOLDS moved the omission of the words .under any designation or description whatsoever: His intention was to carry out the declaration of Lord J. Russell, that he would leave the Catholics in the same condition as they held under the act of 1829, in which these words did not occur.—Lord J. RUSSELL opposed the amend ment, contending that the words in question added to the force and distinctness of the clause, and although going beyond the letter of the act of 1829, were in conformity with its spirit. —Mr. Rociin supported the amendment.—Mr. WHITESIDE expressed his conviction that the intentions of the act of eman cipation had always been fully and fairly carried out by Lord J. Russell;:but that it had been broken by those who had taken part in the late aggression.—Mr. MoSsELL and Mr. J. O'CoN NELL, and other gentlemen, having spoken, the committee divided, when the numbers were, for the amendment, 38 ; against it, 107; majority, 69.—Sir H. Winnotlon BY then pro posed an amendmerit, extending the penalty of one hundred pounds to all who shall procure or publish rescripts appointing bishops, &c.r.-After a short discussion there appeared for the amendment 129; against it, 133 ; majority against it, 4. The result was received with considerable cheering.—Col. Si BTHORP proposed an amendment to the effect that parties offending under the Act shall be fined .e5OO instead of .elOO, and shall he imprisoned until the fine be paid, and then banished the king. dom.—This was negatived , by 199 to 65.—Sir F. TH ESIoEIt moved an amendment, giving_ any person the right of insti tuting proceedings against offenders under the act, with the consent of.'the Attorney-General.—Sir J. ROMILLY opposed the motion, on the ground that it shifted the responsibility of enforcing the law from the Attorney-General to some other party.—Mr. WALPOLE supported, and the ATTORNEY-GENE RAL opposed, the amendment. —Lord J. RUSSELL said it was contrary to all analogy that such a prosecution should be com menced by a private individual, and that the Attorney-General would be unworthy of his office who would give bis consent to such a proceeding.—The committee divided, and the numbers were—for the amendment, 130; against it, 166; majority, 36. — The house' then went into committee upon the resolution pro posed by Lord Naas, relative to home-made spirits in bond.— The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, with a view of prevent ing further progress wills the resolution, moved that the chair man do lave the chair. The motion wr.s negatived by 140 to 123. FOREIGN AND COLONIAL. AMERICA. We have received, by the arrival in the Mersey on Wednesday evening of the mail steam-ship Arctic, Luce commander, from New York, despatches from that city of the 24th ult. She encountered fine weather during her run, and arrived in the river at 5 20 p.m., bringing 160 passengers, 4470,000 specie on freight, and the usual , mails. The United States mail steam-ship Baltic, Comstock, with Livqrpool mails of the 14th ult., arrived out at New York on the 24th, at 5 30 p.m., after a remarkably fast run of 1() days 12 hours and 40 minutes, mean time. The United States mail steam-ship Ohio, with 51,250,0)0 specie on freight, the San Francisco mail of April 15th, Chagres mails of the 14th ult., and Havannah of the 17th, arrived at New York on the night of the 21st; and the N: Scott, with 519,724 specie on freight, on the 22d ult. The actvices prove the growing popularity of the Hon. D. Webster us a candidate for the Presidency. He had delivered at Buffalo several splendid orations, advocating the cause of Union. Letters from Baltimore of the 22nd ult. state that 25 men arrested in Florida as Cuba conspirators had arrived there, and add that during the previous month 1,500 sus picious men had been on the coast but had dispersed. A. clipper ship of large tonnage was about to be built in New York for British capitalists, in order to meet the competition in the China trade. The screw steam-ship City of Pittsburg, for the Philadelphia and Liverpool sta tion, would be launched at New York in four weeks. Mr. Martin F. Tupper, and M. Cabet, the Icarian phi losopher, are passengers to Liverpool in the Arctic. Advices from Boston of the 23d ult. say the Hon. Caleb Cushing , has introduced into the Legislature a bill to aid in the construction of the European and North American Railway, authorising an issue of State scrip to the amount of $500,000, bearing interest at the rate of 5 per cent.per annum,payable semi-annually, and the principal redeem. able in 20 years, with 1,000,000 stock subscribed for and ALOO,OOO paid in. The State of Maine has made a simi lar grant of 43'500,000. Letters from Toronto of the 23d ult. announce that the Government had on that day suffered a defeat in the Le gislative Assembly in resisting a motion to introduce a bill for preventing the expenditure of public money not pre viously 'authorised by the Parliament, and for restraining the granting of pensions. It was the first division of the session, and the votes stood 20 to 25. The address in answer to the Royal speech was carried without a division. A boy had been carried over the Niagara Falls. By the Royal Mail steamer Cambria, Captain Leech, we have received New York advices, by telegraph, to the 29th May. She brought 33 passengers and 150,000 dols. in spccie. The Cambria arrived on Sunday evening at ten o'clock. . . . . The Royal Mail steam-ship Cambria, Captain Harrison, arrived at Boston at five o'clock on the morning of the 28th ult. A serious riot, attended with loss of life, had occurred at Hoboken. The Germans of New York were holding their May festival at that place, when a disturb ance took place with some New York men, resulting in the loss of several lives. Upwards of GO Germans had been arrested. Notwithstanding the heavy exports of bullion, the sup ply of money was abundant. The demand for foreign ex change was moderate, at 1104- to 11(4. The unfavourable advices by the Baltic had a very de , pressing effect on the Cotton market, and the sales effected on Monday the 27th ult. amounted to 600 bales, at a re duction of lc. on the previous Saturday's prices. LATEST BY TELEGRAPH, NEW YORK, 'Thursday morning, May 29th. Steamer Canada's mil reached New York yesterday. Her news has had little cfrcct c i the cotton market, which is dull to-day.

The Paris Monilezzr publishes the following• tele graphic despatch from Dijon, June Ist, 11 15 a.m. : —The Minister of the t ln e terier, the Minister of Finance, the Chefs du Cabinet, the of the Republic, the President of the vribly, and the numerous guests had entered at threAseilock. Immense crowds had assembled to meet them,e lld the air with joyful shouts. The following is theconcluding part of the Pre sident's speech at Dijon :—" I seize upon the present occasion to open to my fellow - citizens tinmost recesses of my h ear t. We are entering on a new phase of our political life—all Franc e is p etitionin g for a revision of the constitution. I wait with Lull confidenc e for this manifes tation of the national will—and have a decisio n of the Assembly—which will be inspired with the sole desire of confirming happiness and order among the people. Since succeeding to the presidency I have ever disregarded mere personal interests ; but the most unjust and violent attacks have been made to drive me from my peaceful intention. Whatever duties the nation may impose upon me it will find me ready to accept; and believe me, France shall not perish in my hands." At Charente, in France, on Sunday week, no fewer than thirty-two adult Roman Catholics of both sexes, in the presence of a numerous congregation in the French Pro testant chur c h a t Ro c hefort, publicly abjured the benigh ted errora of P o p er y, and emb r aced the more pure and 8-lightened Protestant faith. ~ BRAZILS. By the arrival of the Teviot at Southampton on Sun day, from the Brazils, we have dates from Buenos Ayres to the 28th April, Monte Video Ist May, Rio de Janeiro 12th, Bahia 16th, Pernambuco 18th, St. Vincent 26th, Teneriffe 30th, Madeira Ist June, and Lisbon 4th. The Teviot brings specie value £3,202 sterling, dia monds worth £27,113 6s. 10d., and a small general cargo. She had on board 96 passengers, 33 of whom were landed at Lisbon. Rio de Janeiro accounts state that the Chambers were opened on the 3d May. his Excellency the Minister of Finance presented the estimates for the year 1852-1853 on the Sth May to the Chambers, which showed a surplus of above one million. The city was healthy ;no fevers among the men-of-war, and but very little among the merchant shipping. On the 10th of May the Brazilian war steamer Thesis brought into port a slaver with 350 negroes on board. Both Pernambuco and Bahia perfectly healthy. WEST INDIES. By the arrival of the West India mail steam-ship Dee, we have the following dates :—From Santa Martha, 27th April ; Mosquito, 3rd May ; Tampico and Vera Cruz, Bth : Chagres, 10th ; Demerara, 12th ; Trinidad, 12th ; Jamaica, 13th ; Barbadoes, 14th ; St. Thomas, 19th. She brings specie value 903,013 dollars, 51,000 of which is on account of the Mexican dividends. She brings 105 pas sengers, and • a general cargo. Her accounts from Jamaica, Chagres, Vera Cruz, and most of the other ports have been anticipated via the United States. THE PAPAL STATES, Letters from Rome state that the same agitation which led to excesses some weeks ago still exists, but that the str.mg demonstration of the French commander-in-chief keeps it down. The Republican party has great influence on that population, and an outbreak will occur on the first opportunity. Still it is remarkable that the Roman citizen pays no taxes—that he is dependent for a living on the presence of strangers, who will not come to the Eternal City unless tranquillity exists ; but, thus bound over as it were by self-interest to keep the peace, such is the hatred inspired by church government and the despo tism of the priests, that everything is forgotten but the desire of revenge, and the dictates of the bad passions excited by evil government on the one hand, and by the promptings of the Republican Committee on the other. The abdication of the Pope is again much talked of, and the people would hail his resignation as the first step to reform. Calandrilli, the Colonel, who became a Triumvirate of Rome after Mazzini's resignation, has been tried and con demned to death. Cardinal Vizardilli has died. PORTUGAL. By the Montrose, arrived at Southampton on Tuesday, we have accounts from Lisbon to the 29th ult. Affairs remain much the same as per last advices. A Council of State was held on, the 28th, the first since the arrival of Saldanha. The Minister of Finance had announced the determination of the Government, that the home and foreign debt will continue to be paid as heretofore. At Oporto, the Cabral party had attempted a reactionary movement on the 27th, which had been suppressed. A movement against the revolution has suddenly burst out in Portugal. Three regiments of infantry, three squadrons of cavalry, and a battalion of artillery at Elves and Montemor had declared against the cause of Saldanha. Portuguese Estremadura had refused to obey Das Antas, protesting obedience to the Charter and the Queen, and declaring against the revolutionists. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. Advices have been received from the Cape to the 7th of April, being three days later than that brought by the Hellespont. No engagement of any consequence had taken place. It is evident the Caffres were in great force, while Sir Harry Smith had not sufficient to do any more than to act on the defensive until the arrival of reinforce ments. There had been a few skirmishes, with the loss of one or two lives, in some harassing expeditions against the Kaffirs ; but nothing further worthy of notice had occurred. The journal, South African, in reviewing the state of things asks the following :—" With the Gaikas at open war, with a reinforcement to their ranks from the Stambies, with the connivance of the Amagalekas, with the Tambookies and almost every native chief throughout British Kaffraria and the Sovereignty in arms. with the Hottentot rebellious, and defection in the army to boot, what actual prospect is there, we presuthe to ask, of a speedy termination of hostilities ?" Accounts from brussels, dated Wednesday, announce that the ministerial crisis is at an end. The ministry which had resigned is to remain in effice. A general officer, at Madrid, having last week detected his wife intriguing with an ecclesiastic, mortally wounded the priest on the spot, and he died in 24 hours after. The house in Berlin, wherein dwelt the celebrated Jew ish philosopher, Moses Mendelssohn, has been purchased by the. Hebrew community of that city, for the purpose of founding therein, with the approbation of the government, a school in which poor orphans may, without distinction of religion, be taught some means of earning their bread. A duel took place on Saturday morning at Versailles between the Prince de Canino and M. Rossi, the son of Baron Rossi, who was assassinated at Rome. The duel was caused by M. Rossi having lain in wait for the Prince, whom he struck in the face. After two shOts exchanged severally at 30 paces and at 15 paces. a profound expres sion of regret was offered by the Prince of Canino that he should hare been supposed to sympathise in an act which he regarded with the utmost horror and disgust, arid both parties shook hands. WOMEN'S RIOT IN MADRID.—The Madrid correspon dent of the Daily News writing on the 23rd inst., says:— " Within a few days the University, the cigar manufac tory, and the water-carriers have all had their emeutes, in which there has been serious fighting. The women of the tobacco establishment broke out in mutiny from the re duction of wages of new corners, from 8 reels to 21. They assaulted the overseers and destroyed a great quan tity of cigars and furniture. To-day finding that the promises by which they were quieted yesterday have not been fulfilled, they have burst out into fresh rebellion. The civic guard has been sent to reduce them to obedience, but they defend themselves with stones; and their lovers have attacked the civic guards in the rear and wounded several. At the same moment I hear that the poor of San Bernadino are in open revolt. The Asturian water carriers are fighting at the fountains, which are beginning to fail with the drought and heat which has set in." SOMETHING LIKE A RING.—We have seen a ring ma nufactured by Jacks Brothers, and intended as a present for General Lewis Cass, which not only from its beauti ful workmanship, but from its size and design, is an object of much interest. It is of very large proportions, weighing six ounces, and being of solid specimen gold. The plate is surmounted by a specimen of gold-bearing quartz from Los Angelos, with the name of " Lewis Cass" in raised letters. It opens by a spring, and dis closes tour compartments covered with glass, and con taining gold from Yuba, Feather River, Mariposa, and Gold Bluff respectively. On the reverse of the plate is the following inscription :—" Presented to Lewis Cass by his friends in California." J. B. Bidleman, J. S. Hager, J. R. Hardenbergh, Charles J. Torbert, Daniel Henry, Oliver Charlie, John H. Seranton, G. B. Poet, Dr. J. Bush, W. M. Eddy, F. D. Kohler, George H. Blake. This beautiful specimen is to be sent by the next steamer. —San Francisco Herald. ANECDOTE OF THE PRINCE OF PRUSSIA.—We find the following in a letter from Aix-la-Chapelle :—" A wealthy Englishman arrived here a few da, s since with his family on a trip to the Continent. As he had made the same journey several times before, he was satisfied with the assurance that his English Ministerial passport would require nothing more than the vise of the Belgian Ambassador. With this he arrived Aix-la-Chapelle. Two police agents examined his pass, called him out of his carriage, and told him he could not be allowed to proceed further into Prussia till he had procured the sig nature of the Prussian Consul at Malines. In vain the Englishman referred to his frequent former journeys, his ignorance of any new passport regulations, undertook to obtain in Cologne the very best `legitimation.' All was useless. His family was sent on by the train, but he was kept by the police at the station, It happened that the next train brought the Prince of Prussia, who was on his return from England. The English gentleman without hesitation introduced himself to his Royal Highness and explained his position. The Prince immediately invited him to take a seat in his train, an offer, of course, thank fully accepted. As he took his seat, the Englishman ap peared not to know whether to laugh or be angry "at the great contrast the sudden and extraordinary politeness of the police agents present compared with their former behaviour to him."—Constitutionnel. LOVE AND SUICIDE.—The Paris Breit publishes a remarkable account of a suicide, and an attempt at suicide at La Chapelle St. Dennis :—" A tailor named Alexandre had been long living with a female named Marguerite, and had at length resolved to marry her, but the parents of the female objected to the marriage. The female, finding that her parents could not be induced to give their consent, told Alexandre that she would quit him, on which he declared that, if she did so, he would put an end to his existence. Eventually they came to the determi nation to die together, and purchased a quantity of char coal for that purpose. Having closed up all the windows, the fire-place, and the door, they embraced each other, lighted the charcoal, and lay down to die. In a short time the female lost all consciousness, but her lethargic state did not continue long, and, turtling towards her lover, she found that he was already dead. She now put on more charcoal, and again fell off into a sleep, but awoke a second time with no other effect from the charcoal than a violent headache. Again she put on charcoal, and again she lost her consciousness. This must have been near the morning, for at daylight some of the people in the house, struck by the peculiar smell from the room, entered it, and found Alexandre lying on the bed quite dead, and The female apparently so. On op, ning the window the air revived the woman, and in a few minutes she was able to relate what had passed. THE EXTRAORDINARY MURDER IN BELGIUM.—In our last week's paper we gave the commencement of the trial of Count Hyppolyte Visart de Bocarene and his wife, on a charge of having murdered the brother of the latter by the forcible administration of nicotine. The sittings again occupied the whole of Thursday and Friday. In the course of the examination of the Count lie endeavoured to give a new aspect to the case, by stating that his object in studying the nicotine was to discover the best quality of tobacco, which was proved by the quantity of nicotine it contained, as he thought that study might be useful to his father, who cultivated tobacco in America. On being asked if he knew who was the author of the :rime, his re ply was, that it was his wife, who had given nicotine to ' Gustave and himself, mistaking it for wine. From the interrogations of the court and the replies, this account seemed highly improbable, and portions of the evidence went to show that considerable violence must have been used towards Gustave. The proceedings were again ad journed. The trial was still proceeding by the latest ac counts. The examination turned chiefly on the behaviour THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD. of the accused immediately after the poison was adminis tered, and the orders he had given to wash the body with vinegar, to clean the floor', and to have his clothes and those of deceased placed in a boiler in the washhouse. The crutches of the deceased, who was lame, had been burnt, it appeared, by the orders of the Countess, who had said that she could not bear the sight of them. The proceedings were adjourned till Monday. AUSTRIAN SUPERSTITION.—The police tribunal of Vienna, a few days ago, condemned an old woman, named Fritzingher, and her three sons to a year's imprisonment for swindling, by pretending to be able to obtain the libe ration of souls from purgatory. Amongst other things it appeared that an old lady of sixty became afraid that the soul of a lover she bad had thirty years before might still be in purgatory, and she consulted the woman as to what she could do to release it. After some conferences, the old woman offered to summon the soul to earth for 600 florins, and the old lady gladly consented. One day the woman took her to a wood, and showed her at a distance a person who bore a striking resemblance to the deceased. That she said was the soul from purgatory. The vision made signs that he was not yet in hell, but that his time of purgatory was not accomplished; and he indicated that she was to return again in a week, when he would confer with her. At the specified time the old lady went to the wood, and the woman showed her a figure representing a lion, which she said was the guardian angel of the soul. On the forehead of the lion was a placard with the figures " 100" in large characters. " Does that mean t hat he has 100 years more to remain in purgatory ?" " I will see," said the sorceress, and she proceeded to make sundry incantations, after wl•ieh she said that it meant that she was to give 100 florins more. " But I have not so much money," said the credulous lady. The woman signed to the lion, and presently a "0" disappeared from the pla card. " The lion intimates that he will let you off for 10fl ," and the 10fl. were paid.—On another occasion she made an angel appear from Paradise and inform a sorrow ing family that a young girl who had died a few months before, was in heaven. For this good news the family gave all they possessed.—Journal des Debats. IMMORALITY AND CRIME IN PARIS.—A census has recently been taken in Paris, and one result is, it is said, that between half and two-thirds of the adult female population are abandoned women, licensed by the police, or living with or under the protection of men, without being married: About three-fourths, it appears, of the females who call themselves rentieres and proprietaires are of loose character ; and of dress-makers, shop-girls, and such like, there is not one in ten who is pure. In a word, such a mass of scandalous immorality was perhaps never collected within so small a space as that which now exists within the walls of Paris. But this is not all. The number of professional housebreakers, assassins, and thieves, is greater in Paris, in proportion to the popula tion, than in any other city of Europe. Moreover, an immense part of the population are plunged in the direst misery, and the means of existence of another great part are far from sufficient. People who see Paris, and see its gorgeous shops and gay boulevards, its promenades and aristocratic mansions, little think of the guilt and the vice, the hunger and crime, which are to be found in its lower quarters. On the surface, there is no city so gay as Paris—hardly any which appears more wealthy ; but descend to the lower strata of the population, and you will be scandalised or horrified. And to think that this horrible mass is at times maddened with political excite ment, and that it has been carefully drilled in the fanatic belief that " property is robbery," and the rich thieves! BURNING OF A SHIP.—Loss OF MORE THAN 200 LlVES.—Calcutta journals give the following particulars respecting the burning of the ship Kurramany, laden with Coolies for the Mauritius :—" The Kurramany was at anchor at Cowcolly on the night of the 6th instant. At ten o'clock the alarm of fire was given by one of the Coolie women aft, and the pilot, Mr. Porter, who hap pened to be awake at the time, alarmed the captain. The ship was on fire simultaneously fore and aft, and so rapid was the progress of the flames that the pilot, who had gone forward with the captain to endeavour to unshackle the chain, and get before the wind, she then riding flood tide, was obliged to abandon the attempt and take refuge on the bowsprit. Four hundred people were crowded on the poop. Some made a rush for the quarter boats hang ing to the davits. A number of the Coolies got into one of these, the tackle falls of which weie•carried away by their weight, and many of these poor wretches were thrown out and drowned ; though by this means the boat escaped destruction and floated up on the flood, and was picked up crowded with Coolies, the next day, by the Ratler. The captain and pilot, with the chief and second mates, got down on the jib-boom, which had fallen under the bows, and were there buffeted by the Waves, with a heavy sea running, till the second mate could hold on no longer, and sank ; and the other three were eventually picked up by the boat of the Union. Great fears are entertained that the leadsman, a fine young man of the name of Clarke, is lost, as he is missing up to this. Only 103 men have as yet been saved. It is said that before the alarm was given the crew had passed their bundles into one of the quarter boats; this casts great suspicion upon them. Every search was made by the steamers Union and Ratler, the next morning at daylight, for any poor wretches who might be seen floating about between Cow colly and Saugor, and several were picked up ; but it is to be feared that the loss of life is immense. From' all that has been reported on the subject there appears to be every reason for supposing that the ship has been wilfully set on fire." POLITICAL MISCELLANY.. A Cabinet Council of two hours• duration took place at the Foreign Office on Friday. Mr. Newdegate has written to the Herald to say that the meeting at Tamworth was not held there out of disre spect to the late Sir Robert Peel. Mr. Johnstone, of Alva. was on Friday returned for the united counties of Clackmannan and Kinross, by a majo rity of C 5. And in Argyllshire, no opposition is antici pated to Sir Archibald Islay Campbell. It is rumoured that Mr. W. C. Macready, the trage dian, is to be proposed at the next election as the repre sentative for the Tower Hamlets, in consequence of the long absence in America of George Thompson, Esq. Capt. Scobell is the Liberal candidate for Bath, vacant by the elevation to the peerage of Lord Ashley. Mr. Sutcliffe, long a resident in Bath, is the Conservative can didate, and there is every prospect of his being elected. It is intended at the next election to supersede Mr. F. Peel, the present member for Leominster, on account of his free trade and religious opinions. Mr. Hawkins, of Blue Gates, has been requested to contest the borough on Protectionist principles. MORE CONVERTS TO PROTECTION.—Last Thursday, the mayor of Kilkenny, at a meeting of the board of guardians, after describing in powerful language, the rapid deterioration of every interest in the country, an nounced that he had become a convert to the principle of Protection. In a further letter to the Times, Sir Robert Peel says he will "leave public opinion to judge of the taste and lan guage of Mr. Young's letter" (it has already judged of his) ; and gives his late address to his agent, assuming a patriarchal right to advise his tenantry on the Protectionist meeting. Sir Robert has evidently "caught a Tartar" in Mr. Young. The following letter from an elector of Tamworth, who is not a Protectionist, forms a brief but fitting commen tary on the letter from Sir Robert Peel :—" To the editor of the Morning Herald. Sir,—As an elector of the bo rough of Tamworth (and not a Protectionist) will you allow me to express my regret that Sir Robert Peel should have returned thanks to his constituents for committing a breach of the peace, in which I hope and believe no other elector took part. I am. sir, &c., SAMUEL HANSON. Tamworth, May 31, 1851," LAW INTELLIGENCE. The Court of Queen's Bench has again, and definitively, rejected Mr. Barber's application to be replaced on the roll of attornics. Load Campbell stated that if he was not guilty, he must have been wilfully blind. In the Court of Common Pleas, yesterday week, a rule was granted for an attachment against Lord Adolphus Vane for not attending as a witness in a railway cause. When the clerk to the plaintiff's attorney went to serve Lord Adolphus with a subpoena, his lordship intimated his intention of not attending at the trial, and told the depo nent that he might be d—d. His lordship also said, " D—n you, the court, and all of you." AN EASY SHAVE.—At the Banbury County Court, last week. a summons was granted on behalf of Mr. J. B. Austin, chemist, against Messrs. Pidding and Co., of the Borough, London. Mr. Austin had received a circular offering him the agency of a " Depilatorie, or Hair Re mover," which was warranted to rapidly shave off the beard with such closeness that it would not reappear within a few days, and not only without injury to the skin, but leaving behind it a refreshing coolness. A sample was enclosed, and Mr. Austin tried the article upon his osyn beard. In two minutes not only the beard but the skin came off, and before night Mr. A.'s chin was in such a state of torture and inflammation that he was compelled to have recourse to cooling lotions for ease. He laid his damages at £4. A MONSTER LAW-SUIT.-4n the Vice-Chancellor's Court on Wednesday, Sir J. K. Bruce, on taking his seat, addressed James Parker, and said, " I believe you are a member of the Chancery Commission. I beg you to bring pointedly before the notice of the commissioners the case of `Jones v. Price,' a Welsh case, which came before me yesterday. I have already spoken to the Solicitor-Gene ral on the subject, and shall be glad that such a case be brought before the notice of the commissioners." During the argument in this case his honour had the briefs of one of the defendant's counsel handed up, and, after examin ing them, observed to Mr. Bethell that he must have had upwards of 500 brief sheets to read, and that, supposing as there had been seven counsel engaged, he might mul tiply that amount of paper by such number, the unfor tunate parties to this Welsh suit were at the hearing oppressed by more than 3,500 brief sheets of paper. LIABILITY OF INNKEEPERS.—At the Liverpool assizes, Mr. Wilde, of the Neptune Hotel, in this town, obtained a verdict in an action brought against him for a sum of money which had been stolen from the commercial room. A rule was lately obtained by the plaintiff for a new trial, on the ground of misdirection, and on Thursday the ques tion was again argued in the Court of Queen's Bench, when the rule was unanimously discharged by the judges, thus leaving the verdict in Mr. Wilde's favour untouched. Lord Campbell said, if the learned baron had told the jury that it was the duty of the traveller to take the money into his bed-room with him, that would have been a mis direction ; but here it had been left to them to say whether, under the particular circumstances, there had not been negligence on his Dart in the manner in which he had dealt with the money in the presence of other persons. There Icould be no doubt of the common law liability of an inn- keeper to take care care of the goods befogging to his guests ; but he could not be held responsible for the guests' own negligence. IRELAND. On Wednesday and Thursday no fewer than sixteen vessels with foreign bread stuffs arrived in Queenstown. Several eminent firms in Belfast are about to engage in iron shipbuilding at that port, and have lodged requests for yards with the Harbour Board. The potato blight, which generally made its appearance in forced potatoes, in Ireland, so early .as the present period of this season, during the past four or five years, has not at all appeared this year. MLSMERISM.—Sir Philip Crampton, some time since, offered to enclose a bank-note for £lOO in a sealed enve lope, which should become the property of any individual who could, while blindfolded, and in the mesmeric sleep, tell its date and number. The challenge has been ac cepted by Mr. Hill H. Hardy.—Dublin paper. NEW PHASE IN IRISH FARMING.—The Duke of Lein ster has recently let several large farms in Kildare to Scotch farmers, and upwards of fifty are located between Athy and Castledermot. Near Roscommon there are three Cheshire farmers located : their farms adjoin, and are about one hundred Irish acres each. Several Scotch capitalists have taken extensive farms of land on the pro perty of the Marquis of Sligo, in the Westport Union. A POLITICAL PRlEST.—During the first service in the Roman Catholic chapel on Sunday week, the priest made certain observations on the conduct of government in re ference to the ecclesiastical titles bill, a petition againFt which he was recommending his hearers to sign. Captain Herbert, who had command of the soldiers present, and to whom he thought allusion was made, immediately ordered his men out, and marched them to barracks.— Armagh Guardian. Dr. M`Hale, who signs himself " John, Archbishop of Tuam," hai addressed to the secretaries of the contem plated " Catholic Defence Association" a letter in which he warmly expresses his approval of the project. He de clares that the " Catholic people" now " find themselves, to their utter amazement, almost in the same situation from which they were freed, more than twenty years ago, by the powerful confederation which O'Connell had or ganised and sustained. In the case of Martin Burke versus the Earl of Claren don, the plaintiff's declaration was filed on Tuesday. It contains five counts, one 6f which charges the noble de fendant with having written the letter containing the libel complained of by the plaintiff to the Earl of Shrewsbury ; another count charges the defendant with the publication of the letter in the Tablet newspaper; and a third with the publication generally. The declaration is signed by Mr. Butt, Q.C. ; and Sir Colman O'Loghlen. The de fendant must plead to the declaration within eight days. Emigration is still going on at a rapid rate. The brother and sister go out this spring ; and ntxt spring they send home passage money for the rest of the family. Mr. Lamb, who has just returned'from a business journey, says that in some districts of the south and west more than half his payments were in American drafts on Liver pool, sent home by emigrants. A Galway shopkeeper had recently remitted to a house in Manchester £2BO of these bills of exchange, from £1 to £lO each. The crops of every kind look remarkably well, and promise an abun dant harvest. Except in Donegal, the potato crop is as extensive as ever.: Flax is very little sown in the south, but there is a great breadth of it in Cavan, Monaghan, and some other northern districts. Mr. Lamb mentions a new kind of potato called the " Protestant," which has escaped the blight, and is very productive. A friend o his cleared £6O by two acres of them last year. Success, then, to the "Protestant potato," and "No Surrender!" ' —Derry Standardf AFFRAY AT A PICNIC. — On Thursday last a party of ladies and gentlemen assembled at a picnic in the demesne Coolmore on Cork harbour, anti towards the close of the day they were intruded upon by some military officers, whose demeanour suggested a request that they should apologise and retire. The recommendation was repu diated, epithets were bandied, and blows were given. Subsequently interviews took place, and the whole pro ceeding was reviewed, but the result was not arrived at until yesterday, when a written apology was tendered by one of the officers, and apologetic explanations were given by others. The officers whose conduct was the subject of complaint are attached to the 40th and 90th Regiments, now stationed in the garrison, and one to the Royal Ar tillery. It may be right to mention that an officer who, in consequence of his having given a marked contradic tion, received a blow which felled him to the ground dur ing the rencontre, sent a hostile message is the course of Tuesday to the gentleman who gave the blow ; but that gentleman, after the lapse of so many days has, acting under the advice of. his friends, placed the matter in the hands of his law.adiiser.— Cork Constitution. The Mayo Constitution gives the following :—" We un derstand that Sir Richard A. O'Donnell, Bart., has sold his Ballycroy estate to an Englishman for £36,000, being sixteen years' purchase on the Ordnance valuation. He Lad previously sold a large portion of the island of Achill to the Rev. Mr. Nangle, and a sale of the remainder has been concluded with some Liverpool merchants. Even the far-famed Curraun, the M`Loughlin property, so often repudiated in the Encumbered Estates Court, turns out to be another El Dorado, the fortunate proprietor, "Mr. M`Cormack, having discovered a magnificent vein of copper ore on it. We are hardly correct in saying disco vered, as we learn that the ore is to be seen in the ravines, and will scarcely require any mining operations to get it out. It is said he would not take £lO,OOO for his pur chase. This lot was thrown on the hands o. the court, we believe, three times. Farther again to the west the hills on Lord Sligo's 'property are whitening with Cheviot sheeji, and at the rate_that matters progress we will soon be an English colony. There is, however, we regret to say, room still, and to spare. We were told recently the case of a gentleman who, taking a fancy to a waste lot of land, purchased it for £3OO. On his return to London, expatiating On the beauties of the scenery and fertility of the soil, he sold it for £6OO. This induced him to come back and buy another lot, which he also sold at a profit, and a third shared the same fate. The result is that this gentleman has netted £2,800." RAILWAY AFFAIRS. RAILWAY ACCIDENT.—A very serious accident occurred on Friday afternoon, on the East Lancashire Railway, near the Burscough station, which is a short distance from Ormskirk, and by which one man was killed, and several others were dangerously injured. The accident took place about half-past one o'clock. It is believed the axle of a contractor's waggon broke, and that the injuries have been confined to the servants of the company and con tractors. The deceased was literally cut to pieces. DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY. —A dreadful accident happened on Friday, on the line of railway between Brighton and Lewes, by which the lives of four persons were sacrificed, and a fifth is not expected to survive. The names of the deceased are Mrs. Chat field, about 60 years of age; her daughter, 30 years of age (persons in the middle rank of life—Mrs. Chatfield has a son, who carries on the business of a baker in Bond street, Brighton); George Chase, the stoker ; and a young man, name unknown, whose linen is marked "Lawrence." It appears that the train which met with the accident was a short train from Brighton to Lewes, leaving Brighton at five minutes past twelve, and consisted of the engine and tender, a first-class carriage, a second-class carriage, and a third-class carriage ; that two persons were booked for the first-class, three for the second, and four for the third. Three out of the four in the third-class carriage were killed, and the other persons in the train comprised the engile-driver, the stoker, and the guard, whose name is Earle. The distance between Brighton and Lewes is eight miles, and half-way between the two towns is a tunnel, called Falmer Tunnel, which is about one hundred yards in length. On either side this tunnel the railroad is on the declivity for at least two miles. The spot where the accident took place is within a couple of miles of Lewes, over an embankment of thirty feet deep. The engine appears to have been off the line about fifty yards from where the catastrophe happened. It did not tear up the rails to any very great extent, but it carried away the brickwork over the bridge, and fell to the road below, carrying with it the tender, a second-class carriage and a third-class carriage. Three of the third-class pas sengers (Mrs. Chatfield and her daughter, and the young man Lawrence), were thrown out and killed on the spot, but what became of the fourth third-class passenger we have not been able to learn. The unfortunate stoker was jammed between the engine and a brick wall below, and was completely smashed. Upwards of an hour elapsed before the parties in attendance could extricate the poor fellow, whose fsce presented a shocking sight. He was the son of a servant of the Brighton Railway Company, who was killed some sixteen or eighteen months ago at New Cross, and his widowed mother is now holding a situation at the Brighton terminus. The engineer, Jack son, is so much injured that his life is despaired of. He was removed to the Sussex county hospital, and consented to have both his legs taken off. THE PAPAL AGGRESSION. DR. CULLEN AN IMAGE-MONGER.—The sham Arch bishop of Armagh delivered an harangue at a meeting of the clergy of " his lordship's" archdiocese, in which he said—" We have opened this meeting by assisting at the most holy sacrifice of the mass—we have invoked the aid of the Holy Ghost—we are assembled in God's temple, in the presence of the IMAGE of our crucified Saviour." " In the presence of the image," said Priest Cullen, they who make such are like unto them, [i. e., are deaf, and dumb, and blind,] and so are all they that put their trust in them. Hear the sham primate again :—" Who will believe that, in a Christian country, the image of the most holy Mother of God was paraded through the streets, and ignominiously committed to the flames ?" If Paul Cul len knew anything of the Bible, he would find that such images were ordered by God himself to be utterly des troyed. POPISH SCHOOLS IN ENGLAND SUPPORTED BY THE STATE.—An advertisement, of which the following is an extract, appeared in the Tablet of the 17th of May, and illustrates in a remarkable manner the iniquity of that go vernment support of Popery, which is the disgrace of the British nation :—" Schoolmaster wanted.—Wanted a competent master for a large school in Lancashire, who is prepared to undergo examination by H. M. Inspector. He will be required to act as Sacristan, and none need apply who are not handy at the altar, and have some ear for music. Salary £5O per annum, with ADDITION OF GOVERNMENT GRANT and pupil teachers. Apply (stating qualifications) to, &c." Here we find that •• a govern ment grant" is to be part payment to a " schoolmaster" having " some ear for music," for acting as " Sacristan" in a Mass-house, and making himself " handy at the altar" —that is to say, the money of the people of Eng land is to hesquandered by the State, on the propagation of Popery in Popish schools, and on paying musical-eared " Sacristans" for making themselves handy" to their masters. the priests, when they are offering up the blas phemous sacrifice of the Mass, at the altars of those semi - Pagan temples where the rites of the Pope's church are celebrated. Will the Protestants of Englaod endure this UNIVERSITY AND CLERICAL NEWS. .-.-, LONDON AND DURHAM UNIVERSITIES.—The Masters of the Bench of Gray's-inn have recently passed an order that members of the London and Durham Universities shall have the same privileges with respect to call to the bar at Gray's-inn as are enjoyed by members of the Uni versities of Oxford, Cambridge, and Dublin. The Bishop of Exeter holds, with the bishopric, in commendam, the treasurership of the ca th e d ra l, w ith a canonry, and the rectory of Shobrooke. The value of the former is £1,198, and of the latter £2BO. Besides which be has a stall in Durham Cathedral, which averages about £2,600 a-year. There are 43 preferments in the diocese, ranging from £2O to £l,OOO a-year. The Bishop of Exeter has refused to accept the nomina tion of the. Rev. Hibbert Newton to the curacy of St. Thomas, because the rev. gentleman, when questioned on the subject of baptism, refuses to acknowledge that the mere instrument of baptism makes a child " born anew of water and of the spirit, and an inheritor of the kingdom of heaven." It is the fashion of the bishop's admirers to deny that he is near to Rome, but what difference, we would ask, is there between a bishop who refuses to accept the nomination of a curate, because he does not " hold that all infants duly baptized according to the offices of baptism in the Book of Common Prayer, are therein born anew of water and of the Holy Ghost," and that Pope who condemned the thesis of Luther, that " to deny that sin remains in an infant after baptism is to trample St. Paul and our Lord Jesus Christ under foot ?" THE ARCHBISHOP OF CANTERBURY AND THE BISHOP OF EXETER'S PROPOSED SYNOD.—The following letter has been received by Mr. W. Kitson, the chairman of the vestries of Tormoham and Upton, Torquay, at which resolutions were adopted disapproving of the intended synod :—" Lambeth, May 21st.—Sir,--I have the honor of acknowledging an address which you have forwarded to me as chairman of the vestry of the united parishes of Tortnoharn and Upton, in which you express your objec tions against the measure proposed by your diocesan, of holding a diocesan synod, and desire my interference to prevent the evils which you anticipate as likely to result from such a measure. lam by no means blind to the probability Of such evils, and I greatly regret that such a measure should have been devised ; but if it is not a transgression of the law of the land it cannot be success. fully resisted; and if it does violate the law, I have no doubt that the officers of the crown will interfere, by means more effectual than I have authority to employ.-- I have the honour, &c., J. B. CANTUAR." CHURCH LEASEHOLDS.—It may be assumed as a mat ter of great: probability that the bill for the management of " episcopal and capitular estates," which threatens to make very serious inroads on all descriptions of Church Leasehold Property, will not be prosecuted with vigour this session. The measure is now before a select com mittee of the House of Lords, and such is the opposition prepared for it both by lessors and lessees that it has no chance of success in :the hands of the present feeble, in competent Government. The proposed measure is nothing more nor less than one of confiscation, and has necessarily created great alarm amongst the thousands of individuals and families whose fortunes are bound up with that de scription of property, upon which settlements have been made, mortgages effected, and other binding arrange ments entered into. The lessees of Church Property claim the right to renew the lives and terms in their leases on payment of the usual and customary fines, without which they feel that they would be unjustly deprived of their beneficial interest in leases, or to enfranchise them upon equitable terms. The magnitude of the interests at stake may be estimated when it is stated that the value of Church Leasehold Property in Yorkshire amounts to no less than Eighteen Millions, whilst in the Diocese of Dur ham it is immeasurably larger.—Newcastle Journal. THE NATIONAL SCHOOL SOCIETY.—The annual general meeting of this society was held on Wednesday, at the Ceatral School, Westminster, under the presidency of the Archbishop of . Canterbury. The platform was crowded, and among those present were the Earl Nelson, Sir John Pakington. Bart., M.P. ; B. Hope, Esq., M.P. ; Messrs. Childers, M.P. ' • Mangles, M.P. ; Evans, M.P. ; Slaney, M.P. ; Rev. G. A. Denison, Rev. Edward Girdle stone, Rev. J. G. Lonsdale, A.M., Rev. the Dean of Bristol (Dr. Eliot), Lord Robert Grosvenor, M.P. ; the Dean of Carlisle, the Bishop of London, Lord Redesdale, Bishop of Oxford, the Earl of Harrowby, the Archbishop of York, the Bishop of Winchester, the Bishop of Ban gor, the Bishop of St. Asaph, the Right. Hon. Henry Goulburn, M.P. ; the Bishop of Chichester, the Bishop of Winchester, &c., &c. After the transaction of the routine business, the Rev. G. A. Denison, vicar of East Brent, brought forward, according to notice, the following motion :—" That this meeting deeply regrets that her Majesty's Government continue to disallow the equitable claim of members of the Church of England, as set forth in the resolution of the annual meeting of this society, June 6, 1849—that founders of Church schools, who see fit to place the management of their schools solely in the clergyman of the parish and the bishop of the diocese,' should not on that account be excluded from state assist ance towards the building of their schools." The resolu tion was seconded by Mr. A. J. B. Hope, M.P. ; Sir J. Pakington, M.P., and Mr. Childers, M.P., seconded an amendment to the following effect :—" That the cause of sound religious instruction and the interests of the Church demand, at the present juncture, the friendly cooperation of the National Society and the committee of council ; and this meeting, satisfied that such cooperation must be for the advantage of the National Society as well as of the Church at large, desires to deprecate any renewal of the agitation which has characterised the recent meetings of this society, and to express an earnest hope that the two bodies may act cordially together." A warm discussion ensued, in which Lord Robert Grosvenor, the Earl of Harrowby, the Bishop of London, and several reverend gentlemen took part. Sir John Pakington at length withdrew his amendment, but as Mr. Denison insisted on dividing the meeting, a vote was taken, and his motion was negatived by a large majority. The most reverend Chairman expressed an earnest hope that this might be the last meeting of the kind. The Church and State Gazette says, two-thirds of the meeting declared them selves against Mr. Samson's motion, even in its amended form ! Thus concluded the great day. It terminated to the entire confusion of the Tractarian party, over whose humiliation we are, however, by no means disposed to raise a shout 'of triumph. We are satisfied ; and we would add nothing to this simple expression of our satis faction, were it not for the ruffianly onslaught made by the organ of the Tractarians upon the Venerable Lord Primate for his conduct in the chair. That conduct was dignified and impartial. The man was equal to his mis sion, and the rcission was honestly and efficiently carried out. COURT AND FASHION. The Court returned from Windsor Castle, to Bucking ham Palace, on Friday. The Queen, Prince Albert, and two of the young princes, paid a visit to Eton College, on Friday. Her Majesty and the Court, with the illustrious foreign visitors to her Majesty, attended Ascot races on Tuesday. The cortege consisted of nine carriages and four, preceded by a number of outriders, in scarlet and gold. His Majesty Ernest Augustus King of Hanover, and Duke of Cumberland, completed his eightieth year on Thursday, having been born the sth June, 1771. He is the oldest of the sovereigns of Europe, and the only sur viving son of George 111. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. ASCOT RACES. THE GOLD VASE, given by her Majesty, added to a Sweep stakes of 20 sovs. each, about two miles, ten subs., was won by Mr. Greville's Caribou, (Flatman,) beating Little Jack and 'the Prime Minister ; and Breba, Monica colt, King Charm'ng, and Windischgratz. Betting-3 to I agst The Prime Minister, and sto 1 agst Cariboo. From the distance the race was left to the three horses placed. Cariboo taking the running from Little Jack half way up, and winning by a neck. Breba fell in cross ing the road, and threw her rider, and afterwards came in con tact with a gentleman's coachman, who had run into the course after the horses in the race had passed, and knocked him down, causing his death shortly after. The ASCOT STAKES, of 25 sovs. each, 15 forfeit, and only 5 if declared ; the second to receive 100 sovs., and the third 50 sovs. out of the stakes, two miles and a half, 109 subs., 83 of whom declared, was won by Sir J.

The CORONATION STAKES, of 100 soya. each, half forfeit, for three year olds, New Mile, 14 subs.—This race was won by Sir J. Hawley's Merry Peal, beating Barcelona by a head, but hav ing swerved against the latter a strides from the chair, was objected to, and the stakes awarded to Barcelona. The stew ards acquitted J. Marson of an intentional jostle. The EMPEROR OF RUSSIA'S CUP, of 500 sous., added to R. Sweepstakes of 20 sovs. each, about two miles and a half, eight subs., was won cleverly by Mr. Campbell's Woolwich, 5 yrs., 9st., (J. Marson,) beating by a leiigth Little Jack, Trouncer, and Windischgratz. Her Majesty, the Court, and the Royal children were present both on Tuesday and Thursday, and were warmly applauded. Frank Butler has now won the Oaks five times, viz. on Poison, the Princess, Lady Evelyn, Rhedycina, and Iris. The Goodwood Cup entry this season is thirty strong, and among the nominations are two from the Continent, being one each from Russia and France. This race was established in 1812. The winners on the Derby consist, it is said, almost ex clusively of members of the Turf Club : Sir Joseph Haw ley, £46,000; Lord Stanley, £12,000 ; Mr. Payne, £15 . ,000; Mr. M.P Gregory ., (late £Bmo 0 ; M.P. for Dublin), captain £ A l rc s l2 ,o d o a o n: Mr M.P., £5,000. Mr. Temple. of Lee, Bucks, whilst fishing in the Wes. ton Turville Reservoir, on Saturday week, caught an enormous pike, weighing upwards of 401b5., forty i nc h es and a half in length, and ten inchesin circumference. It was landed in fifteen minutes, without the aid of a land. ing-net. on a gaff-hook. THE WINNER OF THE DERBY. — Between three and four years ago Col. Peel gave to Mr. J o h n T om li nson a brood mare, at that time in foal by Orlando, and shortly after the birth of the colt at Huntingdon, Sir Joseph Hawley offered £250 for it and the dam, which was ac cepted, with the proviso that £lOO a dditi ona l s h ou ld b e paid to Mr. Tomlinson out of the first race the colt won, and £l,OOO if it won the Derby. The first event took place last year, when the £lOO was paid, and Sir Joseph, wishing to be off the second coatingent, offered Mr. Tom linson £5OO to forego it. Tbis he accepted ; and, at a time when Teddington was not much in favour for the Derby, he took a bet of £4OO to £2O upon it, which of course he wins, so that the present of the" old mare" has been to him of the value of £1,250. Jnne le, 1851. PROGRESS OF THE JESUITS. (From the Morning Herald.) Having claimed the chief part i n the restoration of the Pontiff, the Jesuits now look for reciprocal advantageen ti hands of the restored Priest-S overe i gn .

Whence then, we ask, have come the large sums of money necess ary for these splendid erections ? D o ubtl ess i n a considerable degree from the Society of the Propaganda Fide, whose receipts for 1849, amounted to £121,208 21s. To us, it appears very evident, there is a debtor 8 014 creditor account between the society and the Pope. According to the system of Italian book-keeping the Holy Father has debited himself in £ s. d., or rather in Roman crowns or Paula, with the efforts the Jesuits made for his restoration, and he has, per contra, cre dited hint' self with the sums paid by the S oc i e ty f or the Propaga" tion of the Faith to the British mission for the conversion. of Ragland, a very large slice of which, we dare aver, th e , Jesuits have had. With this s um an d w ith t h e i nc rease d facilities they have had afforded to them, these disciPle. s of Escobar have laboured in every way against the insn' tutions of this realm. Nor have there been stouter or more unblushing defenders of the Papal aggression than this same order, the chief councillors and instigators of the insolent attempt. As to Dr. Wiseman we have ever held him to be a poor puppet in the hands of the Jesuits, if not a Jesuit himself. Whether affiliated to the order or not, it is certain he preached in the Chiesa del Gesa two and twenty years ago, where many English Protes tants then flocked to hear the novelty of a sermon in English in the Eternal City. Though there are by law means for ascertaining the nam es an d exact num bers 0 Jesuits in England, yet we believe the attempt has neveer been made, nor the act in reference to the subject e nforce The 28th, 29th, and 30th sections of the 10 Geo. liv'! cap. 7, require that Jesuits should register themselves within a certain period; yet, in the recent debate on hO' Grogan's motion, Sir George Grey declared that all the information that could be afforded on the subject WI contained in the returns laid befo re P ar li amen t in 183 n, as since that time no licences had been granted, and aci prosecutions instituted. Now, according to the returns of 1836, not one Jesuit came into England between 1829 and that year, thong? one, it appears, came into Wales, and 57 into Irelann• There are, however, much more than 57 Jesuits nosvP England—probably more than 57 in London at the Pt e " sent n se o n t m m ea o n m s e o n f t, a y ff e o t rd tl i i n e g Secretary information on of State confesses ub co a nfer e e c, a t h w e h Tr u is provided for by a penal law.
