In the House of Commons, last night, Sir Wm. Joliffe obje eted to going into committee on the Burial Bo Iris Act, because it would authorise Boards of Guardians to form themselves into Burial Boar ds. The House went into committee, and the first four clauses were agreed to. Clause five, audio) 'ising Boards of Guardians to form themselves into Burial Boards, was negatived without a d ivision. Clauses up to fifteen were hereupon aan-eed to, and clause sixteen was modified by the insertion of words, limiting the -powers of the Secretary of State with regard to the unakin.a, o f regulations to control commercial cemeteries. Mr. Locke .Xing moved, that not more than one , body he buried in one grave. Mr Massey for ithe Government, proposed that the number should be six, but on the motion of M. Milnes, it was decided by 131 to 78- votes, that not more than four bodies should be interred in one grave in the Metropolitan .districts. Lord Palmerston stated, that the Government could not use their influence with the Sultan, to induce him to give permission for the construction of a canal across the Isthmus of Snez, " because for the last fifteen years the government had used all their influence to prevent the; scheme being executed." A very creditable admission, And . what, think our readers, is the reason for such a proceeding ? Lord Palmerston believes the scheme imprac ticable (as if he - was a judge), but " the reason the government oppose the plan was that it would render more easy the separation of Egypt and Turkey." Mr.. :Roebuck then brought on his motion to the effect that it was prudent to abolish the office of Lord Lieutenant of Ireland. Ala Roebuck- at same length stated his opinions and and convictions on the subject. He wishe I to see " Ireland treated as an integral part of England, and that the Lord Lieutenancy, the last remaining body of her subjections should be swept away:'" He wished that every county and parish in - Ireland sould be like the counties and parishes. rk England, and that Ireland should no longer be called Ireland. Whet would the hon. gentleman -wish the island to be called ? Perhaps he would transmogrify the name, as was the Cove into Queenstown—hut what name would he give it? We think he would b.e puzzled to give -one that would .satisfy all ponies,. He a howe,ver, very properly, wiahed to see the distinotton of Englishman acid Irishman abolished, and seal that as Dublin was only eleven hours distance from London, there could :he no difficulty in this. A long discussion ensued, in which Mr- Torrens M`C,ullagh, Mr. Grogan, Sir Wm Somerville, Mr. Vance, Lord Palmerston, and others, -took .para The motion was ultimately lost. The numbers being 1.15 for, and 266 against ; majority, IM. The Speaker announced the abandonment of the peti tions against the returns for Newport, Taunton, and Portsmouth elections. The local news this morning contains the details of the capsizing of a flat in , he river yesterday, and the consequent loss of four iivez. The inquest on the body of a clergyman and of a boatman, who were drowned on Monday afternoon, resulted in a verdict of accidental detvh. The monthly meeting of the Birkenhea4 Com missioners was held last evening. Tho chairman, Mr. Laird, explained and descanted upon the proceedings of The Liverpool i Conse,rvancv Bills Committee, a full report of winch is given in ano ther column. In the Law 13,-ports inserted in to-day's paper will be found the particulars of three interestirpg cases--that of Crouch against the Great Virt:stern Railway Company, Drown v. Stuart, and in.re C. J . Mare, the shipbuilder. There has just been issued a very curious return to the order of the goose of Commons, on the ; motion of Mr. Locke King It is a list of pensions paid' by the British Treasury to members of the foreign corps.:which served in the war which ended in 1815. The information furnished by this return will be new to the present getwration ; indeed it is doubtful whether, out of (Acid circles, anybody was aware that even now upwards of 45 years since the war elosed, no fewer than 236 gentlemen who had been officers in these corps, receive pensions from the I.:n2,lish Govern ment averaging about 1001 a-year each These pensions commenced, some of them as early as 1808, and none later than 1817 ; and the first emotion is one of wonder at the extreme lon . of the recipients Besides these pensnms, which are simply for service, there are twenty-six which are given for wounds, 178 to widows o f o ffi,, ers , averaging about £45 each, and fily-one to the children of deceased officers, at L 9 each. The kidgdom of Hanover seems to have the honour of being the birthpliteo and present residence of the great majority of these pensioners, who, we are bound to suppose, earned their yearly stipend most honourably. A London cotemporary-, of yesterday, states that it is glad to perceive that the Hudson's Bay question has come under the consideration of the Liverpool Financial Reform Association, and that that active and intelligent body are prepared to take the field against the fur monopolists of Fen church-street. " It is true that their pretensions are the subject of Parliamentary inquiry ; but we fear there is reason to believe that an unsatisfac tory compromise will be agreed to. There is therefore great need that the Liverpool Reformers should enlighten the public up 3n the question." We continue to supply our readers with a very full report of the trial of Miss Smith, at Edinburgh. Certainly the case presented would appear greatly to diminish the suspicion against the unfortunate young lady, and it is not now hazarling much to anticipate her acquittal. A grand review took place yesterday at Worm wood Scrubs, at which Mince Albert, accompanied by the distinguished visitors of the Queen, was present. The Prince of Wales has gone to the Continent. The French illoniteur officially confirms the an nouncement of an approaching private visit of the French Imperial pair to her Majesty. The information respecting affairs in India, in the possession of the Government, is probably of a more serious nature than was at first supposed, judging from the excessive urgency and extent or the prearations on foot in the arsenals to despatch treons. The revela'_ions of Mr. Bertolacci respecting the management of the affairs of the Duchy of Lan caster have Lot yet terminated. There is no news of importance from the Con tinent this morning. Our Paris intelligence .shows that the success of the three Opposition candidates in the Paris sup plementary elections has exercised an unfavourable influence on the Bourse. The leading securities suftifed a eonsiderable decline. No later news has been received from Italy, except that at Leghorn tranquillity had been restored. Among those arrested in Genoa is Savi, the editor of the republican Italia del popolo. There is news by telegraph of the occurrence of fanatical outrages at Tunis, in which a Jew has been slaughtered for blaspheming Mahomme clan i s m . A letter from Copenhagen informs us that the change effected in the Danish ultimatum before it was sent off is due to the interference of Prussia and France. The intentions of the French government to introduce ten thousand free blacks into Martinique will net in all probability, be carried out, in con sequence of that colony having opposed the project T,ilth much warmth The Council General of Martinique has consented to admit the . 880 free blacks contracted for by the French government with Messieurs Rejus and Co,, of Marseilles, but it protests against being swamped by ten thousand " uncultivated savages." That body has at the same tinac , expressed a dssire that the premium paid to a French company for the introduction of Indian labourers—Coolies, may be extended to shipowners of all countries. THE termination of the Paris elections has reached us, and they show that three of the opposition candidates have defeated the Govern ment nominees. General CAVAIGNAC has been elected by 10,950 votes, against 9,952 given to M. THIBAULT. M. OLLIVIER, the opposition candidate, has beaten M. VARIN, who was supported by the Government. The votes in this contest were 11,005 against 10,006; and M. DARIAION, the well-known publicist, who at this election represented the opposition, obtained 12,078, whereas his opponent, M. LANGUELIN, had only 11,038. These results must certainly be most distasteful to the French Government, for it is, without doubt, the, most significant check which the authority of his Imperial Majesty, the Emperor, has received since he became President of the French Republic. Nevertheless, we cannot regard it as a very significant evidence of the desire of the people of France to change their present system of Government, control, and authority ; for there is but too much reason to believe that they are at length weary with revolutions, and constitutional changes. There is also little doubt that if the electors who voted for, and returned the opposition candidates, had been convinced that their support of the anti-govern ment party would be to re-enact the scenes of 1848, they would have paused before they took the step which they did. They may be dis satisfied with the conduct of the Government; at the same time it is no less true that they are by no means disposed to countenance th e erection of barricades, and the slaughter of thousands of innocent victims, to bring about a change of national rule which, after all, would not alter the position of the French people one iota for the better. Be this as it may. there is noluestion but the result of the Paris elections must exercise a most important influence in the destiny of this hitherto distracted land, The return of General CAVAIGNAC to the French Assembly will, no doubt, thwart, in more respects than one, the designs of the Empror; and the antecedents of his Majesty too clearly prove that he is such a personage as cannot brook to be marred in any of his political projects. Should the opposition party now formed, and returned to .the Assembly, become sufficiently united, and animated by singleness of purpose, NAPOLEON will only tolerate its existence as long as it does not interfere with his popularity and power. He has done much good for France ; but his financial schemes, and constant endeavours to gag the press, and prevent the free expression of public opinion on his conduct, and that of his Government, are political sins which no nation will Permanently endu r e. If, th ere f ore, he seeks to lay an enduring foundation for his dynasty as the ruler of France, he must, adopt less of the martial power, and become more of the people's sovereign—wielding the sceptre of his einpire by virtue of a truly loyal population, and . not from fear of the discharge of artillery and musketry, or the glittering of sabres. There has been too much of this kind of rule, not only in France, but in the European con tinent generally. We daily witness its results. A frenzied population rise in rebellion, and seek to dispute the power and legitimacy of the throne; troops are called out, and the work of military butchery - begins. Old and young are mowed down, to maintain the kingly power ; although, if we minutely investigated the moving causes to these uprisings, we should invariable find that monarchical tyranny, and want of sympathy with their subjects, were among the chief incitements. True it is that, generally speaking, when such scenes occur, there is but little chance for the victory of the populace. Italy, at the present moment, is in a most agitated state. A portion of her people have political grievances which they cannot endure. They have risen to throw off their yoke; but, from what has taken place, their movements will lead to no good or immediate results beyond strengthening the power of the King in his policy of tyranny, and stimulating the people to foster and encourage a still deeper hatred of his person and his throne . At Genoa, too, an emeute, senseless and uncalled for, has taken place. It was different with the natives of the Two Sicilies, for the originators there were goaded on by the cruel and unrelenting persecutions of the Government, whilst no excuse can be put forward for the rashness and the illegitimacy of the movements at Genoa. The cases, however, suggest to thoughtful minds the policy of all Kings and Queens ruling In concert with the wishes, and for the best interests of their subjects. NAPOLEON sees that his reign does nbt meet with universal approval—that his conduct, as Emperor of France has aroused opposition from very significant quarters ; and that the consolidation of that opposition may yet cost him his throne, seeing that it saps the very foundation of his unquestionable supremacy. The leading journal is correct when it declares that " his tenure of power would not be worth six months' purchase, in the face of a real Parlia mentary opposition which could challenge, and with reason, his financial arrangements, and which could make constant appeals to the preju dices and passions of his people. He sees in the Paris elections the first symptom of dissatis faction with his rule and authority. He also perceives that the continental states and king doms of Europe are just now in a state of political uneasiness and convulsion. It becomes him, then, to be wise in his day and generation . If he desires to be the Emperor of the people, he must rule through love—not by military fear. A people so governed are truly political bondsmen, who daily seek an opportunity to throw off the yoke, and plunge their degraded country into the fearful abyss of revolution and bloodshed. Whilst this is going on, how happy should the subjects of the British throne feel at the idea that they are not subjected to these political irruptions, and that they are governed by a monarch whoss chief study is to promote the social interests, and the civil and religious liberties of all classes of her people. WHEN any movement is made, from no matter what quarter, having for its aim the instruction or amelioration of the position, and, therefore, the happiness of the working classes, it will always meet with whatever support it is in the power of this journal to give it. We need, therefore, make no excuse for again returning to the " Liverpool Recreative Society," for its aim combines the instruction with the happiness, and in so far as it is carried out, insures the amelioration of the position of the working classes ; and the movement emanates from themselves, which is at once a proof of the necessity existing for it, and a pledge of its probable success. The want of a safe and agreeable way of spending the short evening after the long day of toil, has long been felt by those of our labouring classes who dwell in large cities, while the abundance or dangerous and immoral ways of spending that time, has long been looked upon with terror by all those to whom the moral and physical state of their poorer fellow citizens is of any interest. The country beerhouse, with its sanded parlour, and its benches before the honeysuckle porch, supplies our agricultural neighbours with the comfortable club, the political chat and the pleasant evening they require; but our flaming gin palaces, and glittering taverns in town, neither afford the quiet rest after the day's work, nor supply the want felt by every human being, of some intellectual communication with his fellows. The hard-worked dock labourer does not wish, even could he do so, to leave his wife. and family, and walk off into the country a distance of four or six miles from his lodgings ; but he does wish to go for an hour or two in the evening to some clean and airy room, where he can read the papers now brought pecuniarily within his reach, and enjoy some conversation, while his children are put to bed, his house set straight, and his supper prepared. This want is now met by the public-bouse— hence its great success—but met on one condi- tion : that of paying from 2d. to 2s. per night for beer or spirits ; and the labourer can only gratify, his very laudable desire to meet his species, and to improve his mind at a cost which, putting intemperance aside, he can but ill afford. We are not arguing this question of recreation for the people in the narrow spirit of teetotalism, or with any hostile feeling to the licensed victual ler; we have never seen any reason why the vast body of our fellow-countrymen who know how to rule their appetites, should be restrained for the sake of a very small minority of drunk ards; Why laws should be enacted in favour of crime alone, nor do 'we sympathise with those w ho brand the trade in beer and spirits as iniquitous, because a few gin-palaces are badly conducted. But, at the same time, we hold that there is in this town a great want of places of cheap and innocent amusement, without tempta tion to intemperance; and of places where the industrious workmen can meet together, without being compelled to pay for drink which they do not require, and which they cannot afford. This want the "Liverpool Recreative Society" are about to attempt to meet. Its objects we take to be to open a room or rooms where news papers, music, songs, in-door games, and cheap refreshments will be supplied ; attached to which will be a piece of ground, in which gymnastic exercises and out-door games can take place. The admittance will be Id., and coffee, and bread and butter, ld. or 2d. more. Thus, the working man will have his club and refreshment for body and mind at ls. to ls. 6d. per week, and no doubt the annual subscription will be even less. The time has long gone by when these clubs would have given rise to feelings of political distrust on the part of the richer classes. We have learnt that the chief supporters of the "parti de l'ordre" are ever found among the honest, intelligent, temperate mechanics, and that the more the working classes are educated, the more they appreciate the form of government under which we all live so happily. The constitution of the Society inspires the hope that it will be equal to its work, if it enters into it with firmness and moderation. The directors are all chosen from among the labouring classes, and well understand its requirements ; but we should rather have seen a larger sprinkling of men among them who did not advocate the Maine Liquor Law. The Con sulting Committee contains names of large employers of labour, who inspire much confidence as having always had their workmen's happiness and welfare at heart; but they must remember that they are a consulting committee, and not the governing body, or the movement will lose its greatest merit in degenerating into a Charitable Institution for the Suppression of Drunkenness. With these few hints, we wish it cordial success. That veteran philanthropist, Mr. WILLIAM RATFIBONE, never spoke more truly than when he cautioned the meeting in the Concert-hall, on Monday last, that those who originated a good movement in favour of the lower class, and then allowed it to fail from incompetency, or want of courage, did more injury to the cause of progress than if they had never thought of it, A great responsibility, then, rests on the Board of Directors of the " Liverpool Recreative Society." They are about to organise a movement to supply an acknowledged want. They do so under very auspicious circumstances. They are assisted by an earnest and able con sulting committee ; and, in common with all practical philanthropists, we watch their progress with the greatest interest. Tuna ENITGRATION.—The following is Mr. Donnelly's report to the Lord Lieutenant on the subject of emigra tion Your Excelency is aware that returns, showing the sex, age, and county of every person in Ire'and have been furnished to this office since the Ist of May, 1851, distinguishing those who leave the country for a merely temporary purpose from those who depart no'. intending to return. Ths tables compiled from these documents for the period from the first of May, 1851, to the 31st of December. 1855, were published in the General Report of the Census Commissioners, by which it appeers that the population, amounting to 6,552.385 persons on the 30th of March, 18:51, was reduced by emigration to 6,077,283 on the Ist of January, 1856, allwvarte,e; bell; made for the usual increase caused by the exe_ss of births over death=, calculated on the averge of these events in England and Wales during sixteen years. In the year ending 31st December, 1856, the returns show that 90,781 individuals, of whom 47,570 were melee, and 43,211 females, emigrated from the ports of Ireland. This amount, after deducting the estimated excess of births over deaths, makes the probable number of inhabitants in Ireland on the Ist of January, 1857, to have been 6,047.492 persons. Munster, it appears from the tables, contributed the largest number or emigrants during the period from Ist May, 1851, to Ist January, 1857, 39,47 per cent. of th. entire number having left that province. Ulster gave 24.68 per cent; Leiuster, 21.99 per cent ; and Connaught, 12.59 per cent. Nearly 13 per cent. (12.80) of the entire popu lation have left Ireland since the Ist of May, 1851, to the let of last January. Observing the interest taken in the subject by the public press, and also in Parliament, I have had the returns made up to the end of April last, from which it appears that during the months, January, Feb., :tlarch, and April this year, the emigrants were more nu merous than in the same months of 1836. The actual numbers, were as under : J<+nuary February Marco April Persons Persons Persons Persons 3,550 4.521 6.799 11,796 4,414 6,251 9,344 13,043 1856 Increase in the fi-st four months of 1857, 864 1,730 2,515 1,247 It will be seen that Irish emigration has continued almost equal in amount in 1855 and 1856. and that during the first four months of 1857, 6,386 persons more have 141 the country than during the corresponding period of 1856 . The emigrants from the province of Munster for the period from Ist May, 1851, to the Ist January last, were in th proportion of 17.82 per cent. to the population by the census of 1851 ; those from Leinster amounted to 11.03 per cant. ; from Connauqht, to 1 .46 per cent..; and from Ulster, 10.29 per ceat. Tippe rary contributed the largest proportion of emi grants. 19 35 , per cent. having stated themselves to .have come from that county. The least emigration was from the -county and city of Dublin, only 3.96 per cent.; having left it; this is the more remarkable, as Dnblin is the port at which the greatest number of emigrants em barked. It will be found from the tables that during the entire period embraced by the returns, the sexes emigrated in the proportion of 101 males to 100 females, whilst in 1856 the proportion was 110 males to 100 females ; 68 7 per cent, of the emigrants in 1856 were between the ages of fifteen and thirty-five years; and 13.7 per ce"t. were thirty-five years old and upwards, showing that the majerity of those who left Ireland last year was from among the young and vigorous portion of its inhabi tants.- The detailed tables for 1856, showing the classification of holdings by baronies and poor-law unions, the extent of tillage, and quantity of live stock belonging to each class; also returns relating to mills for scutching flax are in course of printing, and will, I trust, soon be submitted to your Excellency. I feel it to be my duty again to exprcss my obligations to those who have so readily afforded to the enumerators the information relative to the average produce of the country ; to the several ex officio and elected guardians who revised the returns; and lastly, to the public press, which, on all occasions, has lent its valuable aid in removing the prejudices formerly existing against the collection of agricultural statistics of Ireland." THE NORTHERN TIMES.-LIVERPOOL, WEDNESDAY, JULY 8. 1857 FRIGHTFUL AND FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE RIVER. FOUR LIVES LOST. A very melancholy and fatal accident happened yester day morning on the river, whereby four lives have been lost. It appears that a flat named the Sampson, belonging to Nantwich, and laden with 101 tons of salt, was proceed ing about five o'clock from the Canning-basin to the Nelson-dock, when, from some unexplained cause, she sunk instantly. There were on board at the time, the master, Henry Hill, and his wife, Elizabeth Hill, a young man named Abel Goss, 18 years of age, and two children named Anne Elizabeth Woodcock, 4 years old, and her brother, Henry Woodcock, 8 years of age. All except the master, Henry Hill, were drowned, as they were in the cabin at the time the flat sunk The body of Mrs. Hill and one of the children were recovered, but the others are not yet found. The flat was subsequently towed by the Hero tug-steamer to the potteries where she at present lies. An inquest will be held on the bodies this day. THE COURT, &c. ROYAL VISIT TO THE PRUSSIAN LEGATION.—The Queen on Monday evening, honoured the Count and Countess Bernstorff by a State visit to a grand ball at Prussia House. The Count and Countess Bernstorff made every exertion to receive her Majesty in appropriate state. The limits of their mansion were extended as far as possible by the construction of a temporary entrance opening into a pavillion covering the whole garden, and affording a large additional space for promenade and refreshment. The interior of the house, which is remarkable among London mansions for convenience and elegance, was so arranged as to afford the best possible accommodation for the guests. A throne was elegantly fitted up in one of the corridors of the principal drawing-room. This was sur mounted by a canopy of crimson satin, trimmed with gold fringe, above which was a cornice, having in the centre a crown supported by eagles. The exterior of Prussia-house was illumiated with 16,000 coloured lamps, arranged in designs emblematic of the happy occasion. The arms of Prussia and England, and monograms of various members of the Royal family, shone forth with great lustre, and attracted a host of admiring spectators daring the evening. At a few minutes before ten o'clock, the Royal cortege drove up, amidst the cheers of the crowd assembled. Her Majesty, on argh ing from her carriage at the entrance of the pavilion, was received by the Count and Countess Bernstorff. Taking the arm of the Count, the Queen advanced through the lower rooms of the mansion, and. ascending the grand srairca.se, passed through the drawing-room into the throne-room. The Prince Consort followed with the Countess Bernstorff, the Count of Flanders leading the Princess Royal, and Prince Frederick William of Prussia the Princess Charlotte of Belgium. The Duke of Cam bridge, who was in attendance in the pavilion to meet her Majesty, came next with the Duchess of Sutherland, and was followed by a long train of elegant and courtly per sonages. Her Majesty remained seated on the throne for some minutes, while the company passed before her, and when the procession had clo,ed the Lord Chanilan.lain intimated her Majesty wish that a quadrille should be formed. The Que:n herself led off with the Count, the Prince Consort dancing with the Countess Bernstorff; the Count of Flanders danced with the Princess Royal, and Prince Fre leeiek William with the Princess Charlotte of Belgium. After two sets had intervened, another royal quadrille was formed,theQueen dancing with Prince Fred, William of Prussia, the Prince Con-ort with the Princess Charlotte of Belgium, the Prince of Hohenzollern Sigma ringen with the Princess Royal, and the Duke of Cam bridge with the Countess Persigny. The dancing now became general, and was continued until midnight, when the Queen left the ball-room, and was conducted by his Excellency to the supper-room, where a magnificent repast had been arranged. On leaving the supper-room her Majesty passed through the long avenue of guests, gra ciously acknowledging their salutations, and after express ing to to the Count and Countess Bernstorff, in very kind terms, the gratification she had derived from the entertain ment, returned with the royal party to Buckingham Palace. Dancing was resumed after the departure of the royal visitors, and was prolonged to an early hour. THE PRINCE OF WALES. —His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, left B ickingham Palacs on Monday afternoon, for Konigswinter on the Rhine, where an hotel has been engaged for his ttoyal Highness's occupation during the next six weeks. His Royal Highness paid a visit to the Duchess of Kent, at Clarence House, St. James's. The prince is accompanied by the Hon. Frederick Stanley, younger son of the E trl an 1 Countess of Derby. In the suite of his Royal Hig'eness are :--11sj or-General the Hon. C. Grey, Lieutenant-Colonel H. Ponsonby, Mr. Gibbs, the Rev. Mr. Ta-ver, and Dr. Armstrong, R.N. His Royal Highness arrived at the Lord Wardea Hotel, Dover, on the same evening, and after partaking of refreshment, sailed in her Majesty's steam-packet Banshee, for Ostend. ROYAL REVIEW.— Her Majesty and the Prince Consort, acnomp mied by the Princess R ,yal, Prince Frederick William of Prussia, the Count of Flanders, and the Princess Charlotte of Belgium, and a numerous retinue, will visit the camp at Aldershott this day, to review the troops.

HEN7GLELL'S CIRQUE VARIETE, DALE-STREET.—The termi nation of an equestrian season worthy "the fame of Hengler' , is now fast approaching, and the extraordinary success attendant upon the lengtbened efforts of the proprieto r has been duly appreciated by the public. Scarcely in the days of the celebrated Ducrow, the great " maestro of the ring," has it been our pleasing duty to notice more brilliant entertainments, graceful " scenes of the circle," or a'tout ensemble to have been deserving of support eciaal to that of Mr. Hengler, which is shortly to close its present season in the town of Liverpool. The true beauty and excellence of all the artistes engaged in the various departtnents have been " A 1." To retain the deserved popularity alrea , y won, and carry with them the " golden opinion" of all classes, still appears to animate the management; we, therefore, are not surprised at the novelties daily (or nightly) produced at this place of enter tainment. Perhaps the most successful of all the " hits " has been the production of the grand pagean t of " Kenilworth Cdstle ; or, the Days of Qeeen Elizabeth," on the occasion of the proprietor's benefit on Monday evening last. The glorious days of chivalry were there gorgeously depicted in all the warmth of colouring, so that nothing was left wanting to render the picture more complete in all its accessories. The entire of the company were " up " in their parts, as they have been in everything produced, and vied with each other in efforts to give due effect to the multitudinous details of the " Historical Romany." During the present week the benefits of Messrs. Powall, Bridges, &c., are announced, than whom m )re talented, deserving, or pains-taking artistes can scarcely be found in the profession; and upon each of these occasions novelties,, " rich and rare," will be produced. Z )(LOGICAL GAUDEN3.-The annual gala of the Modern Dcui Is took place at these gardens on Monday last, and, notwithstanding the unfavourable state of the weather, about tvvo thousand of the order mustered on the occasion The dramatic company was a great attraction, and the favourite and laughable farce of " Spring Gardens" was performed, in addition to a host of other amusements.. TiAe weather has for some days past been unfavourable for ow-door amusements, but it has, however, done more than art coon have dons, and that is—put the gardens and grounds in better order than we have seen them this season, and they aline will amply repay a visit, to say nothing of the various attractions concentrated there. COURT OF EXCHEQUER.-YESTERDAY. THE ATLANTIC STEAM-SIIIP.—BROWN V. STUART.-31E, H Hill, Mr. Millward, and Mr. Brett, w. re counsel for the plaintiff, and Sir F. Thesiger and Mr. Blackburn for the defendant. The plaintiff represented the owners of the Atlantic steam-ship, and the defendant the Marine Insurance Company. The action was brought upon an insurance for £4,000 to determine the average per cent age to which the o wners were entitled in consequence of injuries to the vessel, which compelled her in January, 1852, to put back to seek shelter in Cork harbour, and ultimately to undergo extensive repairs at Liverpool. The question was whether underwriters were responsible upon the American mode of making up the general average or the English mode. The plaintiff contended for the for mer and claimed IW. ld. per cent. The defendant denied liability beyond the English reckoning, and paid £l4, or about 7s. per cent , into court. The first wit ness, Mr. Bailey, an adjuster of averages at Liverpool, said that the defendant had paid more than could be claimed under the English system. The learned judge immediately stripped the case. The jury, under his lord ship's direction, found a verdict for the defendant. Caouch V. THE GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY COMPANY. —PACKED PARCELS.— JUDGM ENT —The plaintiff in this case wee the well known carrier, and he sued the defen dants to recover d amages f or neglecting to deliver a parcel et Plymouth. The plaintiff had delivered the parcel in question to the defendants in London, for the purpose of carying it to Plj month as an ordinary parcel, the carriage for which would be about is 6d. The parcel on its way b irat, and it was discovered that it was a packed parcel.. The South Devon Railway, whose line joins the defen dants', acting as their agents, delivered the parcel at Plymouth, but demanded 2s 3d for the carriage, which, however, the plaintiff refined to pay. The plaintiff was told that the parcel would be sent back to London, which was done. Tae plaintiff on the following day, at The office at Plymouth, tendered the sum demanded, but he learned that the parcel was in London. At the trial the jury found that the puce had been sent back to London before :treasonable time nad expired to allow the plaintiff to tender the sum demanded. At the trial before the Lard Chief Baron the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff. Subsequently a rile for a ne.v trial, or to enter the verdict for the defendants, was obtained, upon the grounds that they were not liable under the circumstances, that they were not bound to keep the parcel at Plymouth after the refusal of the plaintiff, and if the act of sending it back to London was wrongful it was the act of the South Devon Railway Company, and that the finding of the jury as to the question of unreasonableness was contrary to the evi dence. The arguments were heard some time since, but judgment was postponed. The Court now delivered judg ment, and decided that the defendants Were entitled to judgment. Judgment accordingly. .
