HEIL MAJESTY'S VISIT To THE DUBLIN ENIIIBI
TioN has now been definitively settled. The Queen will
stay two days at Dublin, when she will be entertained
by the Lord Lieutenant. The Countess of St. tier-
mans and the lion. Mary Eliot have arrived in Dub-
lin for the ptuposo of making the necessary arrange-
ments.

THE REPRESENTATION OF TRALEE would appear
to be all settled, a meeting convened by the Cham-
ber of Commerce, and which comprised a very large
proportion of the electors, having been unanimous in
their choice of Mr. Daniel O'Connell. It is very
probable there will be no contest in that borough.
Is CLARE the latest accounts represent the can-
vassing as having been carried on with the utmost
energy. Everything hitherto has, however, proceeded:
peaceably.
A REQUISITION has been presented to the Lord Mayor
of Dublin, calling on him to convene a public meeting
" for the purpose of considering the best means of
rendering a tribute of respect and gratitude to Wil-
liam Dugan, for his unparalleled exertions, which,
under the blessing of Almighty tied, have so signally
tended to benefit our country, by developing her re-
sources, and directing the industry of her people." All
parties have joined in this preliminary step to the ex-
pression of a great and national feeling of gratitude.
The requisition presents the signatures of forty Irish
peers, and forty- seven Irish members of the House of
Commons, without distinction of politics. It has
also been signed by the Archbishops of Armagh and
Dublin, the Bishops of Deny and Raphoe, Down
and Connor, Meath and Limerick, by fifteen Roman
Catholic prelates, several of the judges, a host of
other dignitaries and official persons representing
the professions, the press, the municipalities, and
the people of the country, and comprising in all con-
siderably over two thousand names. The meeting
will be held in the Rotunda, and has been fixed by
the Lord Mayor for Thursday, the 14th July.
AN IMPORTANT TRW. was concluded in the Dublin
Court of Common Pleas on Wednesday. The action
was brought against the City of Dublin Steam Packet
Company for damages for the loss of the husband of
the plaintiff by the shipwreck of the Queen Victoria
steamer at the Baily Lighthouse. The jury gave
6001. damages against the company, 400/. being for
the widow and 2001. for the mother of the deceased.
This, it is expected, is only the beginning of a series
of actions of the same nature.

should be refused to all mixed marriages of Hon-
Catholics with Catholics, unless oaths should be taken
by the contracting parties, before a Catholic priest,
that all issue of the marriage should be brought up
in the Homan Catholic faith. This usurpation has
produced a sentiment of the most profound indigna-
tion amongst the highest Prussian authorities. The
Minister of War, General von Bonin, has now, in the
King's name, issued a general order to the army and
navy, in which it is stated that in case any officer
should obey this act of Roman eneroaehmeat, and
take any such oath or pledge befgwe a catholic
priest, he shall be forthwith dismissed the service as
guilty of conduct unworthy of a man and an officer.
The Zeit says that the giving of any such pledge, no
matter by whom, is illegal, being an infraction of the
law of the land relating to mixed marriages.

SILVER AM) COFFEE.

THE relation between these incongruous terms
may not be apparent at a glance ; but the fol-
lowing letter exhibits so forcible an illustra-
tion of the effect of the laws relating to the
one, in unfairly increasing the cost of the
other, that we invite especial attention to it.
It presents the experience of a practical man
as to the pernieions operation of the system
which we have heretofore denounced, by which
gold is expressly prohibited as a legal tender
in India, and silver forced into an exclusive
circulation, with an adverse rate of exchange
as regards these countries ; and it affords evi-
dence of our assertion, that the prtjudicial
results of this anomaly were not confined to
the territories of the East India Company, but
extend to every dependency of the Crown
which is under the influence of the Indian
eurreney:—

INCOM E TAX.

After the Ineome-tax Bill had been read a third
time in the Lords on Monday, the Earl of Wtestow,
on the question that the bill " do pass," moved an
amendment, embodying the views so often expressed
by his lordship and other members of both houses,
that the extension of the tax to Ireland would affect
unfairly the landed property of that country. It was
notorious, he urged, that the proprietors did not re-
ceive their full rents, or anything approaching to
them ; and, in proposing to make the payments fall
in the first instance upon the occupier instead of the
landlord, he did but wish to secure the latter from
an unjust impost on nominal amounts which they
never actually received, and at the same time to assi-
milate the proetslure of collection in Ireland to what
it was in England. Ile trusted the Government
would not oppose his proposition.
The Earl of AsEnnEEN, nevertheless, felt obliged
to do so. The system finally incorporated in the bill
was adopted after much deliberation, as being on the
whole the most just and practicable, and they could
not change it. Though aeknowledging the prinui
lack ground of complaint on the part of the land-
lords, in the fact that rents were very irregularly paid
by Irish tenants, he observed that, by way of counter-
balance, their assessment hail been based on the poor-
law valuation, which was generally highly favourable
to the land, and assumed an average of rental in most
instances far below the real amount. The difference
between the English and Irish system extended may

to the mode of collecting the tax, and had been
adopted solely with the view of securing the peace
and welfare of Ireland. He saw no reason fur making
any change.
The debate, which was prolonged for some time by
other speakers, closed in a division, when there

the royal assent and became au act of Parliament.

TRANSFER OF LAND IN IRELAND.

Mr. VINCENT SCULLY brought forward his bill
for facilitating the transfer and conferring a safe
title to land in Ireland at the morning sitting on
Wednesday. His measure, he said, was short and
simple, and had been carefully drawn up in ternat
which anybody might comprehend. Its principle
was that of extending to real property the advantages
of parliamentary title and a ready inexpensive mode of
transfer now atforded by the Encumbered Estates
Court, but without requiring the lands in question to
pass through the process of sale. In action it wag
to be perfectly voluntary, presenting its advantages
only to those who wished to enjoy them. His plan
included, also, a system of land-debentures, under
which money could be borrowed on real estates at
easy rates, while the debentures themselves would
constitute a useful species of circulation, passing
from hand to hand like promissory notes, but with
far greater security to the holders.
Sir .1. YOUNG consented to read the bill a second
time, approving of its principles, and believing that
some such measure would much improve the value
of Irish land. The course, however, which the
Government proposed to pursue on the subject was
to continue the Enctunhered Estates Act for a limited
period, and in the meantime to take this and other
bills on the same subject into consideration, with a
view to legislate upon them early in the next session,
or before the expiry of the renewed Encumbered
Estates Act.
After a short conversation the bill was read a
second time.

3ttibtnts anti Mutts.

A DINTRESSING Sri(ut was committed yesterday
week, at Worcester, by the Rev. H. J. Stevenson,
♦icar of Hallow, and examining chaplain to the bishop
of the diocese. The rev. gentleman had been suf-
fering from nervous excitement for some time pre-
viously.

arrival of a fire-escape.

A CONFLAGRATION of melancholy consequences
broke out on Saturday evening at a warehouse for
indiarubber fabrics in Hatton-garden. The fire
travelled so rapidly over the inflammable contents of
the place that it cut off the escape of a woman

THE INDIA DEBATE.

A Loxo, and on the whole a dreary, debate has
been concluded by a decisive majority in fa-
vour of Sir CHARLEM Woon, whereat Ministers
rejoice, and cry exultingly that the Conserva-
tive party is broken up. Never having antici-
pated that the India Bill would be defeated on
the second reading (although a severer ordeal
awaits it in committee), we care little for a few
adverse votes more or less ; but it seems im-
portant to indicate the causes of this victory,
lest inferences should be drawn from it which
which the facts do not warrant.

The general measure. it is admitted on all
hands, possesses few elements of merit, and
not one of permanence. It unsettles every-
thing, but it settles nothing. It destroys the
independence of the Director s, yet maintains
their irresp‘maibility, their incapacity, and
their patronage. It is patched up in haste to
prevent agitation, yet it disclaims finality, and
thus opens the door to agitation for an un-
limited period. Except one or two local
changes, which we will not now discuss and
the distribution of the civil patronage, which
we agree with Lord STANLEY in approving on
principle, though to us the details seem fitulty,
no single clause has been selected for praise,
and, as a whole, it has not been mentioned by
any single speaker except with censure.
In what, then, consists the redeeming fea-
tures which have earned for it the support of
the House of Commons? Every I ioyenunent,

THE " CROYDON" REPORT.

"Et surtout, monsieur, point de zele," was
TALLEYRAND.B final injunction in sending otr a
diplomats. Who would suppose a Whig or a
Whig functionary could ever need the lesson?
But so it is. There is one zealous depart-
ment, with a more zealous head, of genuine
Whig birth, parentage, and education. Lord
JOHN begat CHADWICK, and CHADWICK begat the
General Board of Health.

No one, indeed, ever contested Mr. CHAD.
WICK'S zeal. A more zealous man never
lived. But it happens, somehow, that this
zealous man is always in hot water, alike
with his inferiors and superiors in official life.
Poor Mr. NICHOLLS, and Sir E. HEAD, and
the LEwISES, father and son, could certify to
this aptitude in former days. And subse-
quently, when the mild wisdom of a CARLISLE
no longer restrained the General Board of
Health, it is written in blue-books, and told in
the lobbies, how the zeal of a CHADWICK has
successively clashed with the will of a
SEYMOUR, the courtesy of a MANNERS, and the
doctrinaire Radicalism of a MOLESWORTH.

The mystery which links Lord JOHN RUSSELL
and CHAnwiex it is not for us to fathom. For
the last six months it has been impossible to
mix with people whose business lies in and
about Parliament, whether in the House or the
lobby, without hearing inculpations of one of
them. Frequently we might listen to some
indignant member, whose constituents were
having the Public Health Act applied to them
against their will—being inspected, reported
on, sewered, water-supplied, surface-cleansed,
and rated, to their exceeding discomfort. In
the committee-rooms it was denunciation of
Mr. CHADWICK'S parliamentary doings; at the
Society of Civil Engineers it was uncivil criti-
cism of Mr. CHADWICK'S engineering crotchets;
at the Office of Works it was deputations to be
protected from the General Board of Health; at
the General Board of Health it was insinua-
tion and agitation against the lukewarmuess
of the Office of Works. At length all this is
beginning to find vent through paper and print.
Mr. fIAWKSLEY comes forward to charge the
General Board of Health with jobbery, and
unwarrantable interference in control of local
action, by encouraging the appointment of its
superintendent inspectors as engineers of
local boards, and, by overstretching its power
of sanctioning mortgages of rates for improve-
ment works iu towns where the Public Health
Aet is applied.
Dr. Anson and Mr. PAGE were charged to
report on the recent outbreak of fever at
Croydon, and, in the course of their inquiry,
have upset the whole engineering theory of
the Board of Health as respects the drainage
of towns, which the Board are in the habit of
promulgating far and wide in the official guise
of a Blue-book. This report, which has just
appeared, indicates something nevi in the

THE CAMP AT CHOBHAM.

Draiso: the week the military evolutions have been
reiterated, with very little variety from those which we
have already described. The only drawback to the per-
formance is the wet weather, which on several occasions
has caused the maineuvring to be postponed; in addition
to which the London sight-seers find themselves much
puzzled in their efforts to discover the times when the
camp is best worth a visit. This uncertainty is indeed
inevitable, and, as Lord Palmerston said the other night in
the House, intentional on the part of the authorities. The
result has, however, been to baffle the acuteness of all the
ordinary sources of information, and to leave the field most
clear when the most important evolutions were in progress
over its expanse. Lord Seaton is far more satisfied with
this circumstance than the disappointed Cockneys. Thus
on Monday no Freon came to the camp. though there was
a grand field day; Tuesday the heath was crowded, hut
there was nothing done; Wednesday was a field day, with
few present; while on Thursday there were fewer still,
though her Majesty and Prince Albert and the Royal Family ,
with a large and brilliant circle of distinguished foreign
princes and general officers, were present.
There was a sham fight at %%shot on that day, and pre-
parations made for more extensive maweuvres, but the
rain stopped them prematurely. On the same account an
inspection of the camp, intended to include its more do-
mestic arrangements and contrivances, which had been
commenced, was precipitately abandoned, and her Majesty
compelled to take refuge in the royal pavilion. The
drenching rain, however. gave some opportunity to the ar-
tillery brigade, while exercising, to show their skill at over-
coming difficulties. The obstacles to the passage of the
heavy guns over the soft and soaked ground were immense,
and it was interesting to see the men dismount from the
carriages, and with spades and shovels set to work to dig
out trenches for the wheels, or to fill up some wide rut in
order to allow them to be dragged over. In many parts
the ground VMS marshy, and the guns sunk axle deep in
the swamps. Some of the light infantry brigades also
marched some distance almost knee deep in mud.

Obituarg.

THE member for West Cornwall, E. W. PEN-
bAItVES, Esq., died on Sunday last, at his meat near
Cainbourne. The deceased gentleman had repre-
sented the county in Parliament uninterruptedly for
the last twenty-seven years.
1)r. FAUSIWTT, Canon of Christchurch and Mar-
garet Professor of Divinity in the University of Ox-
ford, expired on Tuesday at his rooms in college.
He was in the seventy second year of his age. In
the year 1801, while a scholar of Corpus Christi Col-
lege, 1)r. Fatuotett took his first degree of Bachelor
of Arts. In 1805 he was elected a fellow of Magdalen
College. In 18'20 he was elected Hampton lecturer,
and in 1827 succeeded the late 1)r. Septimus
Cot-
linson, Provost of Queen's College, as Lady Mar-
garet Professor of Divinity, which he enjoyed for the
space of twenty-six years. In WO he preached a
sermon in %indication of the history of the Jews,
against certain representations of the present Dean
:Ullman. Again, the sermon of Mr. Faussett on the
revival of Popery, May 20, 1838, drew forth in reply
a well-known " Letter on certain Points of Faith and
Practice," by J. 11. Newman, then in the height of
his feverish ascendancy. In DM additional promi-
nence was given to his course of lectures, when the
censure of the I T niversity was passed on Dr. Hampden,
then Regius Professor, on the part of sonic of the
heads of houses, who went the length of forbidding
some of their junior members to attend the lectures
of the latter professor. He Was also vicar of
Cropthom, Worcestershire, having been appointtsl to
that living in 18,111 by the Dean and Chapter of Wor-
cester, the patrons. The Margaret. Professorship
was founded in September, 1502, by the Lady Mar-
garet, Countess of Richmond, mother of Henry V I I.
In 1027 there was annexed to the pmfessomhip by
King Charles 1. a prebend in Worcester Cathedral.
but this has, by an act of Parliament passed in 1840,
been commuted for a canonry of Christchurch.

THE Honourable and Learned Member ti n• Kidderminster, happen
ing, in the course of conversation, tolienr an I lxti►rcl friend remark, that,
notwithstanding the now examination statute, many bur dodgem were
still made use of by private tutors in c►amming tin• the schools, %vas no
far deluded by the high appreciation in which he holds his own abi-
lities as an instructor of youth, that he fell into the error of sup-
posing that his friend wins passing an eneinnium on certain stale and
long-exploded crotchets which he used to instil into the minds of ten
successive pupils in ten successive hours, term idler term, 101 he him-
self informs us in his letter to the Oxford University Commissioners.
With this misapin•ehenesion acting strongly on IL well-developed organ
of self-esteem, he proceeded to the house of Commons, where, in the
debate on the India Bill, he delivered himself of the following digni-
fied ►usd elegant remark: " I can happy to think that m►nsy dodgem of
" my own invention are still taught at Oxford under my moue.."rhat
there are many /ow dodges still prevalent in Oxford is by no means
improbable, but it is highly amusing to observe the Naircti with which
the Honourable Afember takes upon himself the responsibility of being
their sole inventor.

A NEW "MIRACLE" AT NAPLES.

Tux Journal of the T►ro Skates, of the 9th June,
three of its principal columns with the narrative of
one of those meaningless miracles which, of late
years, have become matters of sueh o►dinary occur-
rence in the south of Eumpe, and even in France.
In superstition, as in all else, supply follows demand.

The scene of this marvel is Tramutola, a little toe a
in the province of Basilicata. The official report is
drawn up by the "Archpriest" of the principal church,
n the inflated, sacerdotal style of Home, and is attested
by himself and the rest of the clergy, who evidently
consider the strange tumult of fanatical excitement
which they record as a most gratifying exhibition of
Christian piety.
In former days such a document would not have
attracted our notice: we have no desire to hold up to
ridicule the poor Neapolitan's faith—strong as an in-
stinct of credulity, weak indeed as a pnneiple of ac-
tion. But the close alliance which the Church of
Rome has lately funned in all Boman Catholic states
with the civil Coventment invests her proceedings
with a political interest ; and the wilful blindness
affected by many in this country as to all which they
do not wish to discover in her makes it a duty to
direct the attention or our readers to scenes from
which we should otherwise turn away with silent dis-
gust.
It seems that in the month of May last the anthe► hies
of Tramutola, in order to obtain a deliverance from the
long drought which was destroying the crops, devised
a penitential prxessian of the usages) of

THE PRESS.

LETTERS FROM A SILENT MEMBER.

LETTER H.
TO THE EDITOR OF " THE PRESS."

Housi ov COMMONS.

Sir,—l recollect a merry member exclaiming, when he had listened
to some splutterer for half an hour, " I am determined to learn the
art of speaking myself, for I perceive it can always be learned at other
people's expense." Most true ; and how lavish is our expenditure, as
audience in this House, compared with the accomplishments acquired
here ! Take my own example. What sums I have paid for EwAaT ilt
my time, and yet he is now well-nigh as fatal to me as ho complains
our law is to murderers ! The Member for Finsbury, it is said, once
spoke most vilely ; but, by a lavish expenditure on the part of other
members, he became the able artist that he is, and now the House in
listening to " TOMMY DUNCOMBE " has no more thought of uneasiness
than he of modesty ; but he wits trained by severer lessons than are
now inculcated. The House is too tolerant ; parliamentary, like
religious toleration, must have its limits ; we have gone fur enough,
perhaps too far, in both already, and the consequence is that out of
doors we have the Agapentone, and in the House we have MAxoLea.
Let the Primate and the Speaker look to these things before it be too
late. How awful was the first speech, nay, every speech, formerly !
Did not Mr. FAWKSS, Member for Yorkshire, say once, addressing the
Speaker, "Whenever I rise to speak in
.this House my nerves are in
such a state that your wig, sir, seems on fire " ? But now boys
leap up from the benches without fear, thought, or preparation.
They see the Cotenants of linglana in Parliament assembled with the
same indilierence that the " beasts who roam over the plain " saw
Alexander Selkirk on his desert island, and I protest with him that, as

THE SAVINGS BANKS BILL.

'NTH measure, which stands for committee on Mon •

day, already provokes ►serious remonstrance from
those practically knowing the subject of which it
treats. It is urged that the proposal to reduce the
interest to depositors to V. 10s. per cent. is in fact
calculated to destroy the system, fixing on the poor
a burden which is only experimentally tried with
other classes ; that power is transferred to Goveta-
went officials from trustees and managers, on whom
nevertheless responsibility is left ; that some of the
details will prove vexatious and injurious to poor and
illiterate depositors ; and, finally, that the stringent and
annoying restrictions; and pecuniary risks imposed on
managers and trustees will close many banks, and
cause gentlemen to resign their functions who now
art from philanthropic motives. These are grave
objections, urged in no factious spirit, and which, if
sustainable, ought to command the attention of the
House in committee on the bill. They are argued at
length in an able and temperate protest, in the form
of •"Objections and Suggestions of the Special Com-
mittee of Managers of the St. Clement Danes
Savings Bank."

The settlement of the share account, which took

for a fall have su!d shares. The " baekwardation,"

OVID AS A PROPHET.

- -
Mn. l'aEas,—l find in Oviu the following lines, deueriptive, as the
poet thought, of chaos, hut (as the poet did nut know) really prophetic
of the greater chaos—Coalilion

" Sic cat instabilis tellun, innabilis undo,
Dian egenn a, r, milli sus forma mindful.
HMtal►atglle aliis idiud : gun COill4lll. Ili 00000

I once recollect "taking a shot " successfully ut some white
scratched chalk figures on all imposing wooden slate (never mind the
bull), at lecture. I got no credit for it. Alas ! the mathematical lecturer
knew precisely my mathematical abilities, and quietly announced that
" I alone was right, but that 1 did not know the meaning of my own
answer."
OVID, as regards recent " Cabinet Questions," must have been in
precisely the same condition ; and, supposing hint to have been a man
possessed of the most ordinary amount of common sense which is not
denied even to poets, with good reason, who could havo anticipated
a political chaos like the " Coalition" of 1533?
In these days of " classical series" it will, of course, be expected
that I should give some annotations on the passage slants quoted.
" Instabilis talus" is best explained by the subsequent words,
" nulli sua forma manebat "—i.e., the members had great difficulty to
keep their seftts—a fact which we have little doubt will be illustrated
at the next election.
" Obstabatque aliis aliud "—i.e., every body was out of his own
way, and in every body else's.
And I could go on to enlighten you further, Mr. Press, but for
the impediment interposed by your printer.

British dominion, and that, though in, he never spoke of, Scotland.

POPULAR MEMBER.

" Vallltß4 anitstitm !"
The popular member through the streets
Is seen by the " people" takinsl a walk,
And half the admiring public he meets
Cry, " There goes Cobbling, the Member for Talk !"
How very blank is the City feast
If the popular member don't appesr;
At popular meetings he takes, at least,
A hundred " chairs " in the course of the year.

And then, sometimes, on pleasure he'll go—
To Woolwich or Greenwich, Putney or Kew,
And condescend to enjoy a " blow,"
As other and humbler atizens do.
And, while he is there, perhaps he'll seo
A penny steam-boat marked with his name ;
Proud will the popular member be,
lie Ii think to himself, well, this is fame!

he'll see his name on a new fish sauce,
Anti yet not feel that his dignity's hurt ;
And tradesmen often, its sale to force,
Will fix his MIMIC to the popular shirt !
It he glance at the twopenny 'bus he'll see,
In monster letters, his popular HAW ;---•
Prolltl will the popular member be,
He'll think to himself, well, this is fame !

If he, perchance, ton hosier goes,
Judge of his pleasure, as well as surprise,
Among the " goods" that the shopman shows,
What is the vision that meets his eyes?
Stamp '4l on a handkerehief, large and clear,
Ills well known portrait he instantly knows ;
ow gratified must he be to hear
That he's blown upon by the public nosy !
