THE NIGHT BEFORE THE BATTI.E OF FEROZEPORE.— The annals of war present us with on p.trAtel to the re spective positions of the hossile armies th.t. nicht. They were both within the lines, both bivou-tckitig where they bad lately stood , the dead a n d dying lying in multitudes beside them. The Engli-h had cirried the entrenchments and kept them; the Sikhs were entrenched again in a strong village, and both parties waited for the dawn to re new the bittle. Only a couple of hundred yards, at the most, divided them. And then might be seen with what untiring zeal and energy good officers exert themselves to sustain the courage, and soothe the anxieties of the sol diers. Sir Henry Hardinge and Sir Hugh Gough seem never to have closed an eye. They wet t ab.dit from regi ment to regiment, speaking cheeringly to the &mild, and kindly and smilingly to the wounded, and ttliing all that " they must fight it out on the morrow ; for it would ne ver do for a British army to suff , r such a repulse." Moreover, the Sikhs exhibited no si:ns ot courage abated. On the contrary, having found out where the governor general had established his bivouac, they opened upon it, and upon the regiments near, such a fire, that, at mid night, Sir Henry found it necessary to direct two rt-gi- ments to stand to their arms and take the gun. And no bly these corps, the Queen's 80th. anti the 2.11 Bengal European Light Infantry, performed their allotted task. They rushed upon the gun, bayoneted the gunners, drove away the line of infantry that supported it in the rear, and brought back the piece in triumph. There was rest for the wearied soldier throughout the remainder of the night,—such rest, at least, as those find, who ruff r from the combined pressure of cold, hur.:4er,7ahci and have nothing to support them except the hope of vie. tory on the morrow. Sir Hugh Gough, in his excell-nt the approach of dawn there was a prompt amps ug From every bivou,,c fire; and the formati. n of a line, less ex tensive than- it had been on the previous day, but as regu . lar and as pliable as if no sanguinary battle had heen fought.

ELECTION (‘F THE POPE.—Th , -re are four different modes of electing the Supreme Pontiff—by big/ ration, by compromise, by scrutiny, and by access. An election by inspiration is effected by several of the Cardinals calling aloud, as by a sudden impulse, the name of the person whom they wish to raise to the Pontificil dignity. This me hod or ret•orting to the plerrat of sopertT seldom re filed of success on, excel. If, however, a powertul party can t urnan weans have raised, and their etlbrts happen to he strongly seconeed. the re-t of the Cardinals, unwilling t.. distinguish th-En sta. 1 rOCI ha, ri.A I.:c.v. n. r.. k" Lave sse, ing consent, hasten to concur in the choice. It is called an election by compromise when the Cardinals, hot being able to determine on a proper person, agree to submit the 'choice of a Pontiff to one or more of their own body no minated for that purpose. It was thus that John XXII-, atter having obtained the solemn as,ent of the whole Col lege to abide by his decision, assumed ro himself the Pon tificate, an event which induced the Cardinals not to en trust this power in future to any of their number without such restrictions as might effectually prevent the recur retie,. of a similar event. In choosing a Pop, by acruliny, the Cardinals each write their own tram. , with that of the and ceouflexions, in a large And highly ornamented chalice on the altar of the chapel in which they assemble. The tickets are then taken out by officers :ippoititt-d by their own body for that purpose, and the number is carefully it appear trnst ariy one of the Cardinals has two-thirds of the votes in hi= favour, he is declared to be canonically elected Pope. When, however, alter repeated trials, this does not occur, R new proceeding takes place, which is called &Mon by access, in which any Cardinal may ac cede to the vote of another by an alteration of his ticket in a prescribed form. When by these means the choice of a Pouiiff is effected, the tickets are prudently committed to the limns, to prevent all pretext for further inquiry. With regard to the custom of changivg tie name on ek%a- Con to the dignity of Pontiff, Mr. Roscoe informs us, on the a•.thority of the historian, Platina. that it originated with Pope Sergius 11. in the year Bt3. " Some persons affirm." he says, " that &iglu , used formerly to be called Po•ci' (Psejace) ; and hat on aeccunt of the vi:eness of that title, he took the name of Sergio', a custom which ha., continued to the present time, although not adhere(' to."-1?(AcOe'8 Lorenzo De Medi( - AN ADVENTURE WIT!! AN E EPHANT —There are not many elephant-shots who have not been toolibb enough in th-ir day to go up to an elephant with a single and only I , arrtl ; but this is generally before they have seen a serape. I should say a mane was perfectly gunned tor elephant-shooting with three doubles, carrying balls foutt , en or sixteen to the pound, with the same bore, nipple, &o.

Their weight fags you and heats you, and at times ynu find yourself before an elephant with scsrcely power to lift them. , I remember once coming hurriedly on art elephant with hothing but a singlo, bush between us, and firing a shot from my heavy Nock, which, instead of the temple, struck the ear of the animal, when she turned slap on me and I literally was not able to getae infernal pattetaro up to my shoulder tt second time before she al most had hold of it.

In ten seconds I was down—her trunk twiddled about my legs, and, but for a friend who came up at the moment, and floored her as she was on her knees paying every possible attention to me, I should most probably have been expended. I have since found myself mote than half dead after a pursuit. in which I had carried a heavy gun ; and RA light ones do vantage the heavier have, unless it be t , at they may possibly stun or stultify, or, pet haps, now and then kill a very big elephant. when the light runs would not.

THE FOREIGN All) :SOCIETY The annual meeting of this society was held on Tues day, and there was a full attendance on the occasion. The Marquis of Chohnoodelry, who presided, said that they were met to celebrate the sixth anniversary of the society. which was formed to 9.sist in the spread of the doctrines of the Reformation in foreign ccuntries. The contents of the report-, which he had read, had given him leepest *.atisfaeth,n, and would to the friends and ihers of the s e %cis sure, a source of marquis concluded by calling on the secretary to read the report The report commenced by congratulating the meeting the growing success of the c.nse of truth on the Con- fluent, but mere Larticularly in France. It then reviewed the communica.ions between the s ,, cirty and the following societies abroad :—The Societe Evangelique of Geneva, to the funds of which the society has added last year £620. The Socie d Evangelique de France, to the funds of which the society 11,1 s bent £l,OOO. The Societe Evan alique of Bordeaux and Lille, to which the society has contributed £155. The society also corresponded with M. Mat,n, in Belgium ; Dr. Gomez. in Portugal • and with several pastors in Germany. The income Of the socie - y amounted to £2,408. Mr. Colquhoun moved the first resolution, which was th•tt the repot tbe adopted and printed. Referring to the progress of Protestant dkic , rines in France, he said that the people of that coon. ry wanted something more than the mere ceremonials of the Roman church, if they were asking for something on which to rest their hearts-- something more than gorgeous vestments, storied glass, or gothic aisles. These would not satisfy the inquiring mind, a..;toatt-d by an earnest des're for something to sa tisfy the affections, to wove the inner monitor, and guide his &dings and cooduct—to direct the poor doubtful err ing creature of a day to some convictions which might lead to some truths which might satisfy and console him ir, the hour when nature failed, and whcn taste and fancy could no lonaer please. (Cheers.) As he meditated on these thin4s his mind was carried from them to some waiters referred to in the repot. which bad just been read. He heard in the north of France. where one of the societies, in connexion with theirs, lab ,, ured, some exam - - ple:, which were very simple and striking, of what was now pas , ing there, and lie gave to the meeting an instance as an illustration. In almost all parts of France there existed an earnest desire for pastors, and the knowledge of C ' truth, and b - F •land .rospe. ..te said, let Eng, -, ...ten, contri bute of her wealth to uuhold the existing Protestant con gregations, to proclaim the Divine truth, to make known in that immense country those rest religious principles which she would best consult her own interest in extend ing, and which would Irwin the very firmest bond of union between the two countries. He could not but look on the various eitots making in the present day to bring together two countries, which, like France and England, ought to be united, as pursued by any means more effec tive and s4tisfactory than those which the society pre sented. Let us, tile., he said, from the abundance of truth with which we were favoured—let us, from the abundance of wealth with which England was blessed, contribute to the necessities and demands of the sister countries around us, and instead of ra'snz the hostile standard of England once more on the fields of Cressy and Poictiers, let it be our gl.trious task in amity with our Mends on the other side of the water, where no jea lousy wou'd trouble, no harsh suspicions enter, no feel ings of French or English glory arise, to trouble our happy concord—let us raise that standard equ-lly tor both coun tries, round which all might gather, whatever might be :o at ream lile and liberty and truth—the glorious standard of the living God. (Cheers•.) l'roftss r Dr La Harpe, from the Societe Evsngelique of Geneva,co ded the motion, and in doing so entered ii•to a variety of explanvions as to the position and pros pect* of that society. Fronk it* smallness Geneva had no rivalry to stnoain ; tint if we compAred what Geneva had been enabled to do tairh its h"sieal magnitude. we should be constrained to say that something had marked it out for action and influence in the world. He trusted that the society there which he reprtsented would yet rise to an importance and rowcr which its resent position could not lead them to anticipate. The Ccu• t St George so pported the motion at some 1 gth. detailing the result 4.f his experience as to the spread of Piolestant doctrines in France. The motion was then put and carried, and the meting broke up, after having been adcl.e4sed by M. Audehez, from the :_:ocie a Etame inue of Paris. Le Pasteur Cail- hate. from tib..t of Lille ; M.

JERSEY CIDER.— Another importation of cider from the Channel Islands has taken place, a vessel called the Charles, which has arrived at the port of Bristol from Jersey, having a cargo cot &sting of 53 casks of cider on board, the produce and manufacture of the island. The supply cf this favourite beverage was rmerly confined to the emotive of Devonshire and Herefordshire. THE IRISH PEERS AND THE CORN BlLL.—According to the Dub•in Evening Mail. thirty Irish peers will vote with the ministers on the corn bill, and twenty•nine against them. Some have not yet expressed an opinion either way. Of the thirty who will vote with the minis ters, four were formerly Protectionists, of whom the Earl of Bandon is one. EARLY .CHERRILLS.—In the 'garden of Mr. Kebie, Auhigirth-bridge, there is a May Duke cherry tree, on which may be seen ripe cherries, others fast auproachirig to maturity, and, at the same time, branches in full flower. Last season, Mr. Kellie had ripe cherries on the same tree, a week earlier than this season.—Dumfr•iea Courier. FATAL COLLIERY ACCIDENTS. — On Faturday week, an explosion took place at the Mynyddnewdd colliery, near Swansea. by which five colliers lost their livts.— eveniav nilay) week, another similar accident oc- hurried into eternity Neithe Dftbein were burnt, and death 'apparently resulted from suffocation. ISLE of MAN.—James Greiner, Esq., late editor and proprietor of the Manx Sun, has obtained a verdict of 40s. and costs against Messrs. Penrice and Wallace, pro prietors of the Manx Liberal for a libel. Toe plaintiff has appealed to the House of Keys against the ,mallness of the damages, and the defendants have applied for a new trial.—The regatta in Douglas Bay is fixed for the 7th and B.h of July. FIRE.—On Saturday week, an alarming fire broke out in Richardland Brewery, Kilmarnock, the property of George Paxton, Esq. The fi e commenced at the malt. kilo, and consumed the whole range of granaries and malt store. containing about a £lOOO t‘orth of Malt and barley; bei•ides des , royint all the malt in operation on the ground floor. The loss of grain, buildings, &c., might be estimated at from £2OOO to £3OOO. A STRANG, PLACE FOR A BIRD'S NEST.—In a gar den belonging to the Rev. W. Snowdon, rector of Swil lington. a few miles from this town, one of our feathered songsters has actually built its nest in the hollow of the pump. The nest rests upon the piston, and contains four or five eggs; the rev. gentleman kindly allowing the poor bird to r main an undisputed tenant of the singular situa tion.— Wukflield Journal. On Sunday week, a serious affray took place at Shields harbour between a party of Italian seamen and some po licemen, arising out of one of the sailors being taken into custody for a riot. He was rescued by his companions; but the policemen being reinforced, the prisoner and se veral of the sailors were seemed and taken to bridewell. During the riot some of the policemen received severe stabs with stillitcs. Sir John Ross, the Arctic voyager, appeared in the Bankruptcy Court, last Wednesday, and obtained his certificate without opposition. The bankrupt stared that he had not been reinstated in office as consul at Stock holm, a Mr. Pringle having bten appointed. He ex pressed his willingness to go thither for the bent fit of his creditors, and arrange to get some of h's valuables, which were in the hand- of persons r. siding there. BIRTH' EXTRAORDINARY.—A poor married woman, of the name of Mason, residing near the Pound, Brom ley, was on Monday evening evening (May 18) safely de livered of four sons. all alive and well, by Mr. H. V. Garnan, jun., of Bow-road, Middlesex. Th" interestin g little straogers have since been christened by the Eev. Mr. Boyle, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. It is gra tifyingroadd that the mother and her sons are going on well. Mr. Smith O'Brien still vegetates Diogenes-lik , - in tub —cellar we mean—where like the goose in the table he lays golden eggs for his master the Serjeatit at-Arms, in the shape of fees, the amount of which already incurred is said to be enormous—more than sufficient to purchase an Irish principality. But Mr. O'Brien start. d wilt the de claration that he would pay no fees, and it he does not choose to pay thew, who will do it for hint ? Le may pause long enough for an answer. _ _ MINISTRY.—On Monday, in the Lords, a Minis terial measure, the Charit,Lble Trubts Bill, int roducrd by the Lord Chanc , !kr, was rej , cted by a mai rity of 1, an I on Tuesday night, in the Common's, the numbers were equal on a motion relative to the Bridpoit election, and ministers were saved only by the casting vote of the speaker. On Friday night, the second r-aditig of the Fdetory Bill was negatived by a noricity of only ten, in a house of nearly four burn red members, ministers anis teiing all their force agan st it. SEA GOING SPARMOWS.—Lart week, on the Aurora leaving the Broomielaw for Belfast, a sparrow's nest was discovered in the r;gging, but 'he birds c'id not choose to accompany their net, on that occasion, to the Green l-le. (hi the return of 'he vessel, however, the svirrows again visited their former abode, which had not been dieturbed by the voyage, and denosiled an e g in it, which attached them so much to it, that they valorously lett their native land, and sailed with the Aurora for Ireland.—Glub.youy Chronicle. MURDER.—Nine weeks agn <everal Irishmen created a disturbance in Nuw-k•tteet, Wakefield by parading the I street armed with sticks and pokers. pparently deter- mined to murder some one. In their course they met with a man named Harry Skelton, acenrnpar.iGd by three men from Stanley, whom hey att,cked and beat very severely, especially Skelton, who ling , -red until Wednes day, when he died from the wt unds he had received. At the inques• a verdict was returned of "Wilful Murder against John Searon end others at present unknown." THE CORN BILL IN THE House OE LORDS.—The or -1 of the country patty opposltion in the House has been, we t-lieve, completed. The number of peers actually pledped sivainst the Corn 8 , 11 is said to be 170; these, it is cohfitlehtly expec'ed, will be rein'orced to shout 210. The 'number believed to be committed to the minister is st.ted 156; ten of the bishop.: we regret to say ate included in this numb r. A Brea er outi•ber of the right rev. lords, however, will certainly oppose the bill ; the opinions, or rather, the probable votes, of five or six prelates are still unknown.—Standard. On Tuesday, Mr. Pullet), t e auctioneer, sold by pub lic auction the Church of St. Benet Fink, Thieadneeille• street, the interior fiitings of which a, re some time since simi!arly disposed of. The church was erected by Sir C. Wren, in 1673, and is to be removed for the purpose of forming the approaches to the Royal Exchange. The six stone columns with carved capitals, placed al, , ng the tao sides of the building, and surpnrtiog the roof, realised £ll 18s. 6 , 1. ; and the altar windows at the east end, hav ing in the centre a c ,, a,t of arms in stained gl,ts, with the dare 1695, brought £2. At the Mansion House, on Saturday, a oror girl named Glynn, was brought up by one Bennet, charged with rub bing his family ; this cran's d,uehter and nephew attend- had been cruelly seduced by the nephew, and she informed the tragistiate (Alderman Gibbs) to their laces that they were worthies.; characters, the former, as she said, keep ing a vile house and the daughter superintending it, and that this trumped up charge was only a device to get rid of her. The complainants cut a sorry figure, and the worthy Alderman di•mirs d the charge. _ . _ DREADFUL SEI IFW CKS. — On Wednesday last, two sbiowrecks occurr.d I , ff Harwich, in which fifteen or to enty persons have perished. One of the vessels lost is the Alert, of Whitby, Eskdate, master. bound from Oporto to Lon don. At ten o'clock on Tuesday night she struck on the Long Said, and capsized at six on the following morning. The master awl five others saved themselves in the boat, but seven passengers and two seamen were drowned. The other vessel, name unknown, but apparently of Danish hu Id, and laden with oats, was wrecked on the Gutifleet. It is found that the whole of her crew are lost. POTATO DISEASE.—As a proof that there is no natural disease in potatoes, but that the visitation of hoar frost, we may mention the results of an experiment tried by the gardentr to Robert Wright, E•q , cf Castle Head, near Windermere. He took a quantity of potatoes them in two melon pots in the hot-hou,e They cause up quite strong, and produced an eat-thew crop, perfectly sound and ahundant in qu4nti , y.

It was reduced into writing at the Nine Elms station, dud for warded by express to Mr. Smith, of Serjeant's-inn, who attended before the commissioner and read the commu nication, and the case• was adjourned. - that on one occasion he had a message from Souttiamr Mr. Smith said minutes after it w , s dispatched frc : .m Southampton SMOKING IN LONDON.—The number of tobacco Opel used in I.w,don last par was 364 00 gross, 52,416,00( pipes; it requires 300 _men, each man makin 20 urr s tour doz. n prr week, for one year, to make them, cost of which is £46,950. The average lent:th of these pipes is twelve and a half inches, and if kid down in a horizontal posithn, - end to end together, they would reach to the extent of 10.340 miles 16:3 yards ; if tht y were piled one above another perpendituhit lv, they would reach 135138 times as high as St k Paul's ; they would weigh 1137 tuns 10 cwt., and it would require 101 tons 9 cwt. 3_ lbs. of tobacco to till them. Floes —We had about 160 pockets of hops weighed at the public scales on Saturday, which realised a small ad vance upon the rates or the previous week. There were al-o some considerable transactions between merchants and dealers; and upon the wiinie the market was lively, with a prospect of advancing rates. The duty is set at £lB,OOO. and for the kingdom £170,000 is mimed. Pre sent prices :-1845, £4 10s. to £7, choice, £7 10s.; 1844, £5 to £6 6d., choice, £6 155.; old hops, £2 ss. to £5, choice, £5 l2s. per cwt. The reports from all part.: of the plantations represent the bine as growing most luxuri antly, and at present there is no attack of fly to cause any apprehension of injury to the crop.— Worcester Jou•nal. Tn if DEBATE IN THE LORDS.—With regard to the duration of the debate in the Lords on the second reading of the corn hill, which would commence last night, the usually well•informed London correspondent of the Dub lin Evening Mail says,—" The bill, as stated a fortn . ght since world be the case, is to be read a second time on Monday next. It is said that the debate will last for se veral nights. The li once of Peers never sit on Wednes day, and the Restoration of King Charles (always kept as a holiday) falls on Friday. 1t is, therefore, possible that the debate may go over the Whitsuntide holidays—in fact, such must be the rase if the protectionists choose to pro long the discussion. But lam bound to tell you that it is also said that Lord Stanley's purpose is to close the de bate on Tuesday night, and that several peers ate remain ing in town, and some coming over from Ireland under that imt.tession." VERY STRANGE IF TRUE.—John Digshy, a cottager, of Buxton, in Norfolk, and the grower of tout crops of potatoes in one year, in a letter to the Norfolk Chronicle, eaY , , "1 hove discovered a berry, which I will gather from the banks or hedges, and which will produce the finest p ,tato er potatoes in quality that ever were grown. ►ne quart of these berries will produce as much as a hushel of our common po ato. These berries are of a tonal, sub-tarce, and ere to be planted whole. They must en through a regular process in the course of the winter, which is scarcely any trouble, and of no expense now have in my possession a quantity of potatoes raised from these berries last year, and it is my intention to grow clop after crop this year, until the fourth crop. The size of the potatoes raised from the berry the first year are about that of a duck egg. The berries are so numerous Ulm, all England can bas upplied. THE CUT Cuaious.—A funny recontre took pla, the other day. Dan O'Counsll was wending his weary steps to the house, along the pavement in trout of Canning's. monument, and Lord Brougham was coming in the opposite d rection, on the same pavement. There was no escape. Dan, seeing who was approaching, turned up his nose a Itttle m re than usual; Lord Brougham seemed to think fora seeond, and deliberately " bonnetted" himself, th. , t is, beat his hat fairly over his eyes, and ran past O'Connell as if he were bes itched. O'Connell ltffiztltql heartily, which was heard by Lord who afterwards c maplai .eti the " rudentss Comes yontltnt of the Chronicle. MESMERISM.-1 HE £lOO T OTE. —The six months duroig which the Xlt:0 was to lie in the Messrs Ball's bank, Dublin, to become the property of any clairvoyant .vho should read the number, date. &c., of the note with out breaking the envelope, expired on the 18th April, when the envelope was opened in the presence of persons connected with the bank. The note proved to be a printed cheque (No. 1.). issued by the house of Messrs. Ball and Co , tor £lOO, payable to (Edipus cr bearer, and dated the Ist of October, 1845. The English words (written on a separate piece of paper) were, "To Edipus alone." To m st people the all,ve fact will be conctu sive on the subj , -ct of the alleged faculty called clairvoy ance. THE BURDENS ON LAND.—The committee appointed by the House of I ords in the early part of the secs on to inquire info the peculi , ir burdens, if any, which land has to bear, have Part presented their report. They recom mend an impiovernent of the law of real property ; that counties and boroughs should be exempt from the portions of expense which they bear for criminal prosecutions and maintenance r.f prisoner , ; that owners of houses under the value of £lO -hall be made liable for the rates at which they are asstrsed ; that the expense of supporting pauper lunatics shall be borne by the public generally, as well as some branches of the expenditure for the maintenance and relief of the poor; that the militia rate periodically cast upon the land shall be borne by government ; and that the experiments for testing the process of malting barley for the purpose of fattening cattle shall he repeated, with the co-operation of persons of acknowledged skill in agriculture. THE HA/PR-MAKING TRADE.—We understand that a hill has been btottAt up before the House of Commons, for the purpose of exempting the rope-making trade from the Factory Art. on the ground that the business is con ducive to the health of the workers; and the using of steam or water power on the premises is the only reason assigned by the inTectors for placing rope-works under this act. Also, that those roperies whe►e manual labour or horses are employed do not come under its meaning, although manutacturing the same material, and on a simi lar prihciple. The withal also sets forth the injustice of the private manufacturers being placed under the act ; while the dock-yards at Chatham and otherwise, although equally harsh, bre exempt from its operation. A deputa tion from London. Liverpool, the Clyde, and Leith, had an interview with Sir James Graham, on the subject, who was understood to say that government would nut oppose the pas,ing of the hill. FATAL EFFECTS OF JESTING.—On Friday. an inquest was h.ld at L•ncoln, touching the death of Sarah Tu•tin, aged 28, who had died from the eff cts of taking oil of vitriol. She had been cook at the Lincoln As% lum, and left there on Tuesday, having hired herself for the next year (after the u-ual May Day holidays) as cook in the family of a respectable solicitor in that city. Jr had been arranged that she was !o ha , e the company of her suitor, a young man named Earnshaw, for the holidays. and she went to the house of his sister on Maud's Hill: On NV sday morning Earnshaw was prevented from going to Lincoln, and H fellow servant of his, who had accompanied his master to Lincoln fat stock market, had the enmity and calsehood to tell her that she need not expect Earn shaw, as he was gone to spend his holidays at Boston with another young woman. She immediately procured a quan tity of oil of vitriol, under pretence that it was for cleaning brass utensil , , and swallowed about an ounce and a half. A surgeon was promptly called in. but medical aid was vain, and she died the following night. Not long after committing the ra•h act, Earnshaw arrived at his sister's house, for the purpose of spending his holidays in the c.ntipany of the deceased, and found her in that dreadful state which the burning acid would cause. The jury re tur,►ed a verdict of "Temporary insauitt.”—Doncaster Gazette. CONSERVATISM AND RoMANISM.--One thing is plain to the tn. st row., y observation—the way to negociate with the Pope of Ri me is made safe and ew.y, which by our " rugged" anc: sors was utterly blocked up and pro. bibited. T. , e 1, ,, rd Chancellor of England who is a "Con sestwire"! ba the way—talks of the right and the pro- pri ty of Ronon Catholic subj , ets of the crown of . _ land ‘• rnoderatt-iy and temperately maintaining the see of Rome in matters spiritual" ! 1 Mk, be declares, cannot be considered env offence against the constitution of Englami. Ir was become impossible to consider such conduct to be.any constitutional offence. Such a question as the Pope's supremacy may, it seems, be •.• mooted" in the present state of the law ; and it also appears that the ,upremacv of the crown of England t.tands equally firm on the ground of the common law, as if it were bolwered up by a hundred s.atutes. But Wither, it appears. from Lord Br ugharn's and other speeches, that the Pope's supremacy i c `a dr, am, a fiction, a fraud. an impo•tnre, a nullity," and soforth; so that there is no occasion for any act to (I. clire or o aintain either the supremacy of the crown of E"glaDd or the nullity and nonsense of the supremacy of the V•pe; though "moderately and tem p, rarely"—that'e the phrase—papists may "moot" the Itttrr under the convenient fiction of " mailers qfirilual and ecclesiastical " Terre was a g'eat uproar one night last week at the Opera, caused by the abrzenee, mi the plea of indisposition, of Mario #and Cerito. When Perrot first entered he was i with mock alutalions and tremendous hissing. An occupant of the stalls called nut "No Perrot." with stentorian !noes. at which the feelings of the inventor,of the "pax de fascination" were so wounded that he lost his presence of mind. and he addressed the audience in French, reproaching them for tln-ir ingratitude after he had done his " possible" on their behalf, then tore his hair in a rage, and rushed off the stage. This incident stopped the ballet, and the uproar for " Luml. y" was re newed. At this stage a diversion was afforded by a tre mend,us outcry frown the "omnibus box," a-king "where b. Carlotta Grist ?" but no reply was made to this query. - At last, M. St. Leon , the husband of Ceritn , came for ward, and spoke in French. begitin'nz with the words " Re.pectable public." which immediately commanded attention. He assured the aud'ence that medical men had stated that his wife was incapable of f>illfillit g her duties on that evening. The uproar was not quelled till Lucile. Gratin made a pantomimic appeal to the gallantry of the rioters by clasping her hands at the stage lamps, and the emeule continued with more or less force until the fill of the curtain. SIR R. PRIM AND HIS PORTRAIT PAINTERS.—We hair, b-en ansu.s-d wish the different portra ts %%hid) ea• cited Protectionist politicians have recently d rawn of Sir R. Peel. Here ate three samples :—Mr. D'l,raeli, in his speech in the House of Comm Ons on Friday night. termed him " the burglar of other's intellects." described hi. life as a"cre t appropriati n clause," and declared that " fo•hl the days of the Conqueror down to the termination of the last reign, you Rill find no statesman who has corn mii ted pelly larceny on so great a scale."' The Duke of Richmond, in a similar strain, on Monday evening, Sr. rinsed the P.entit-r in the House of Lords of ;Wei& wardice and dishonesty, lending a sting to the accusa- tion by r grettiog " the great distinction which some me' mace hetwetn public and private honour." But th editor of the Morning ,Herald, on Wednesday, put th having, — in its Fpr r tiv e phraseology, spoken of 'the ele phantine hide of the Premier's p I.tical conscience ;" the former journalist &dares the figure a mistake, for, sis he. the Prernitr " has not the hide of th' elephant.

AN ELOPEMENT.—The elliodestior 11 ght cf Miss Finny Wilkinson, of Gledhuvr Mount, near - Leeds, with Mi. J. shun Burton.

Ingairi. s were instituted in the locality, from which it was ascertained that a party had ,gone in a carriage at an eally hour in the direction o' York ; and on the :tam , - day they were married a Clretna Green —Leeds Inbilio•ncee. EXTRAORDINARY CASF: OF POISONING.—Dnring the I , ist week the inhabitants of Happi•burkh, a village on the Norfolk coast. have been in a state of great excitement, in consequence of the exhuma , inti of a numt.er of bodies be- I►eved to be poisrined. including those of a man named Jonathan Balls, his wife, and four grand children, all of whom recently (lied under very suspicious circumstances.

Deputatiooa were present from upwards of 200 country societies.

'I he meetings are described by the Morning Her'ild as " the ' greatest fact' of half a century."
