THE MARKET•GARDENER3 OF COVENT GARDEN have
agreed to a memorial to the Duke of Bedford, pray-
ing the duke to cover in the outside part of the
market where these persons have their standings, or
" pitchings," and not to raise their rents above the
3d. per square foot. The duke, it appears, is in-
clined to entertain the propcsal, provided the market-
gardeners are prepared to pay a certain sum in
excess of the fixed 3d. The rents of the Garden
amount to 14,0001. a year, being equal to twelve per
cent. on the outlay-110,0301.
THE SATURDAY HALF-HOLIDAY, which has become
a great fact in houses of business through the inde-
fatigable exertions of Mr. J. R. Taylor, is now being
pressed by that gentleman upon the attention of the
Lord Chancellor for the benefit cf the law courts.
Mr. Taylor recently addressed a letter to the Lord
Chancellor, in which he says that, through her
Majesty's judges persisting in sitting in the courts
of law and equity, and at chambers, on Saturdays,
great evil arises :

Only a few Sundays ago, before going to church, I
visited the district of Cursitor-street, Took's-court, and
Castle-street, and found eighteen law-writing offices open.
The morning being foggy, they were brilliantly illuminated.
with gas, and contained a large number of the poor writers,
who ought to have been at home with their wives and
families instead of being engaged on their accustomed
degrading Sunday work. At present the solicitor and his
managing clerk cannot be blamed for the existence of this
social evil, the remedy not being within their province, hut
in that of the judges of the realm. On leaving the courts
and chambers on Saturdays the solicitors have to prepare
briefs and other papers for counsel, and often for their
lordships' use, by the following Monday morning.

Mr. Taylor expresses a hope that the auspicious
event of the Princess Royal's marriage will not be
allowed to pass away without an order or orders
being made and simultaneously promulgated by the
judges, to carry out the desirable social benefit of a
legal half-holiday. The Lord Chancellor's secretary
has replied, however, that his lordship regrets that
he cannot comply with the request,

Numerous spontaneous teitiuiouials from Phlsiclans of Euro-
pean reputation attest that, in innumerable cases where other
Innis of Cod Liver Oil had been long an (copiously adu inistered
with little or no benefit, Dr. De Jongh's Oil has produced imme-

" Dr. Granville has used Dr. deJongla's Light-Brown Cod Liver
Oil extensively in his practice. and has found it not only effica-
cious, but uniform in its qualities. He believes it to be prefer-
able in many respects to Oils sold without the guarantee of
such an authority as De Jongh. Da. GRANVILLE HAS POUND
THAT THIS PARTICULAR KIND PRODUCES THE DESIRED ETFECT
IN•SHORTER TIRE THAN OTHERS, AND THAT IT DOES NOT CAUSE
THE NAUSEA AND INDIGESTION TOO OFTEN CONSEQUENT ON THE

ADMINISTRATION OF THE PALS NEWFOUNDLAND OILS. The Oil
being. mor.over, much more palatable. Dr. Oranrille's patients
have themselves expressed a preference for Dr. de Jough's

an old woman, and six months' hard labour a
most inadequate sentence for theft, but he
does not on that acconnt neglect to prosecute
the shop-boy who has robbed his till. And so
it is with the Courts of Bankruptcy; their jus-
tice may be defective, but, at all events, it is
better than none at all.
Let it not be supposed that we have any
desire to perpetuate legal abuses. It is not
we, nor the party whose views we represent,
that can be justly charged with inactivity or
lukewarmness in the cause of legal reform.
There is much which may be effected by a
well-considered measure; but if the Courts of
Bankruptcy are to compete successfully with
private arrangements, they must be made
cheaper, and their costliness is a fault not of
the law, but of its administration. It is to
this point that the efforts of practical men
should be directed.

But when all has been done which can be
done in this direction, much will still remain
to be effected by the operation of the public
press on public opinion. Cut down the scale
of costs to the lowest possible point, and
creditors will still be to some extent pecu-
niary losers by a resort to the courts ; but
what is thus lost would assuredly in the long
run be regained by the purification of trade.
Bankruptcies would still cost something; but
there would be fewer bankrupts. Meanwhile,
there is nothing so much to he dreaded as
that the true practical point to be aimed at
should be lost amid a crowd of speculative
propositions. It would not be the first time
that law reformers have missed what might
have been attained by trying for what was
beyond their reach ; and measures which
have passed amid exaggerated expectations
infallibly result in unnecessary disappoint-
ment.

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY.

THE adjourned debate of the Court of Proprietors
of the East India Company, upon the proposed
transfer of the governing power to the Crown, was
renewed on Wednesday last. Mr. Hanes vindicated
the Company from the charge of annexation and war.
Mr. Mims denied that the Company were in any
way responsible for the recent delay in the trans-
mission of troops to India, and vindicated their policy
and administration. The speech, however, which
created the greatest interest was delivered by Sir
HENRY Rswinisow, who had been somewhat severely
handled by previous speakers for permitting himself
to be nominated to a seat at a board the constitution
of which he disapproved. Sir Henry replied happily to
their attacks, and alluding to the petition of the East
India Company read at the last meeting, then proceeded
to discuss the point as to whether the transfer of the
government of India to the Crown were not for the
benefit of the country. Recurring to the present
state of India, Sir Henry Rawlinson observed, that
the great blot, the fors et origo mei, that to which
the outbreak was to be proximately attnbnted, and
that which constitutes our great and insurmountable
difficulty at present, was, he honestly and firmly be-
lieved, the annexation of Oude. This, he maintained,
was only to be attained by a proclamation of amnesty
in the queen's name, as soon as "murder and re-
bellion had been punished with inflexible severity,
and our military character completely vindicated ":
I know that the feeling produced among the nobility of
India by the annexation of Oude was one of the utmost
alarm. They believed the measure to have been decided
on and carried out in a pure spirit of cupidity and in
defiance of treaties, and every independent ruler or land-
holder trembled forhis own possessions. The discontented
nobility then cast about for means of injuring ns. The
Bengal army, notorioas for its indiscipline, but previously
untainted by disloyalty, offered itself a ready instrument to
their hands. Oar revenue measures in Oude materially
assisted them. There were petty chiefs' with grievances—
some fancied and some real—in every district of the north-
west provinces. The present insurrection broke out, and
we are far, very far, from seeing the end of it. I do not
wish to take a gloomy, or at any rate a despainng view of
our present position. We are no doubt surrounded by
difficulties in India, but it is ander difficulties that the
energies of oar character and the resources of our nation
show to the greatest advantage. The present British
forces in India are, however, manifestly unequal to cope
with the emergency. They may re-establish our supremacy
in the revolted presidency of the north-west, but they can
hardly reconquer Oude. If we are content to pay a double
income tax, as in the time of the Crimean war, and to send
of best soldiers to India, then we

The 9th clause, which directs the mode in which

alternate vacancies, instead of being filled up by
the Council, should be supplied by election among
the persons and by the constituencies proposed in
the bill (No. 2) brought in by the present Govern.
ment.
This amendment was negatived.
Mr. UREOSON moved to amend the llth clause,
enacting that every member of Council shall ho'd his
officc " during good behaviour," by substituting
" for five years, and to be re-eligible."
Lord PALMERSTON thought it better that the limit
of service should he for ten years, and that the
members should not be re-eligible or capable of
being reappointed.
The Committee divided upon the question that the
words " good behaviour " stand part of the clause,
which was affirmed by 15-1 to 118.
The 12th clause, disqualifying members from
sitting in Parliament, was discussed at great length ;
it was carried, upon a division, by 245 to 121.

INDIA BILL.

In the evening, the house having resolved itself
into a committee upon the Government of India
(No. 3) Bill, beginning with the seventh clause,
establishing the Council of India,
Mr. GLADSTONE moved that the fir-It members be
named in the bill, on the ground that it %%mild add
to the moral weight of the Council, without diminish-
ing the responsibility of the Minister.
Lord STANLEY declined to accept the proposal,
which would, he said, in effect, give to the Govetn-
Inebt the nomination of all the first inembtrs of the
Council, besides retarding the progress of the
measure. . .

The amendment was negatived.
Mr. V. SMITH proposed to omit from the Bth
clause the words empowering the Court of Directors
to elect the seven elected members of the Council
from arnonget persons " hrivng been theretofore
Directors," as well. as front perio:is then being

This amendment was negatii:d tit on a division by

CONSERVATIVE REFORMS.

" fact is, that a Conservative policy is, to main-•

But in the previous article, in the opening page
of the number, we had said:—

"We have always felt it to he one of the
heaviest charges which could be brought against
Sir Roman' PEEL, that, having promised a settle-
ment of the Church-rate question in 1835, he
entirely neglected that most favourable opportu-
nity which was afforded him by the Conservative

quarrels about 'Dissenters Chapels' and May-
moth College, to effecting a fair compromise of

WEDNESDAY.

Two Bills of " independent" origin were car-
ried through a stage of progress in the day
sitting. One was designed to legalize the mar-
riage with a deceased wife's sister ; the other
removed the present immunity from arrest for
debt now enjoyed by Members of Parliament.
In the fuller attendance and more formal discus-
sion of an evening sitting, neither measure would
have had the slightest chance of acceptance. Nor
as it was could there have been any doubt of the
result, if the slightest apprehension existed that
either Bill could really become law this ses-
sion. In the actual position of business in Par-
liament and of the summer solstice, matters
might safely be left to take their chance. Thus
it happened that both measures were advanced,
one into committee and the other through second
reading, by considerable majorities. But, as Mr.
Toot's philosophy teaches us to believe, " it's not
" of the slightest consequence."

No. 270.—V0L. VI. LN- LONDON, SATURDAY, JULY 3, 1858.

These divisions are quite intelligible, and are
fully understood, all over the three kingdoms.
English, Irish, and Scotch newspapers, of every
class and of every party, accept the decision of
that evening as full and conclusive, at least for
the present session. The whole fiction is at an
end—the bubble has burst.

And the last few days have shown that the
divisions of Friday week were not accidental, and
that the defeat of Lord PALMERSTON was a true,
real, and certain thing. The House has during
the past week gone twice into committee on this
Bill, and in as many as six or eight divisions the
Government has not suffered a single defeat. In
plain truth, it is now proceeding in the usual
course of all Governments, to transact its busi-
ness in a regular and easy manner; asking for
no sufferance," praying for no " toleration."
The fact, then, on which we have been in-
sisting for the last twelve weeks comes broadly
to light, and is the ruling fact of the case. Lord
PALMERSTON resigned, in February, not by mis-
take—not in pique merely—but on good grounds.
He had discovered that the majority which he
wielded in 1857 had now deserted him, and that
he had not the confidence of the House of Com-
mons. His resignation, therefore, was a per-
fectly reasonable and legitimate act.
But it was not reasonable—it was not right,
within a couple of months after arriving at that
conclusion—to attempt suddenly to deny it, or to
call it in question. If Lord PatmEnwrox could
not creditably retain the Government in Feb-
ruary, it was absurd for him to attempt to re-
gain it in May. Parties are not, and cannot be,
thus rapidly broken up, and then re-formed.
Having deliberately given the reins over to Lord
DERRY, Lord PAL3tEnsToN acts discreditably in
immediately trying to snatch them away again.
There was no solid ground for any such hopes
as his followers evidently entertained a few weeks
since. They were fallaJous, and we are glad
that they have now been thoroughly extinguished.

ABDICATION OF THE HOUSE OF LORDS.
THE Duke of CLEVELAND counselled the House
of Lords, on Thursday night, to do what it had
repeatedly done before. But this was altogether
a misconception. The House did then what it
had never done before. No precedent was shown,
or could be shown, for that humiliation.

In 1829 the House yielded its opinion, strongly
expressed a year before, on the subject of
Romish emancipation, on the strong assurances
of the Duke of WELLINGTON, that he feared a
civil war. Retaining its own view of the abstract
impropriety of admitting Papists to legislate for
a Protestant nation, the House still accepted the
assurance of the first soldier of the age, that he
stood in apprehension of bloodshed ; and it
allowed this important fact to alter its decision.

Precept and practice are strangely dissociated
in the House of Commons. When the members
first met to-day they coinplained, as usual, of the
state of the Thames, and asked Government how
long they were to be left on duty in such close
vicinity to the odoriferous river Mr. DisnAkm
assured them that he would use his best industry
to release them at the earliest possible moment.
There were a few important bills which must be
passed, and some large items of Supply that

escort. Ft being greatly feared that the diasafection would
spread all over the Southern Mahratta country, reinforce-
silents have been ordered to proceed immediately to Bel•
gaum and Kolnpoor ; in the meantime it is hoped that
the outl•resk has been promply repressed. A Madras
column, under Major Hughes, June 1, took the fort of
Copal by assault, end among the slain were Bheem Ran
and the Desayee ; on the same day Colonel Malcolm, with
a light Bombay detachment, arrived at Nurgoond anti
stormed the town. On the next day he occupied the

of the Chief was then commenced, and intelligence has
just been received that the Chief was captured by Mr.
Southern, the Superintendent of Police, on June 3.

ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA.
WE have to record two novelties during the pre-
sent week at this theatre—the first, the revival of
Otello, after three years' repose ; and the second, the
pr.itluction of a new opera, by Flotow, entitled

Marta. Everything within the range of art that
could add to the charms of Rossini's beautiful opera

was done on Tuesday, and we never listened io it
with greater delight. The event of the evening was
the reappearance of Signor Tamberlik, who returns
after an absence of two years. This popular singer
was heartily welcomed by a well sustained roUing.fire

of applause. We have heard him in better voice,
but, on the whole, he gave good cause for congratu
lation to the musical world, on bis return to this

country. In the duet between Otello and lago
(act ii., scene 3), which was encored, he swig with

much feeling, never better ; but he was not equally
good throughout. Signor N. Baraldi acquitted him-
selt' in the part of Roderigo with more than usual
credit, and Especially in the aria, " Eccome gicento,"

difficnity. In the pursuit 500 of the enemy were killed,
and eight guns taken. 60 guns, 24 standards, and im-

implicated. The acting political agent, Mr. C. T. Manson,

ALARMING RAILWAY ACCIDENT.

As; accident occurred on Wedneaday evening on the
Ramsgate and Margate branch of the Sonth•East:'rn
Railway, a kw minutes before six o'clock, to the
3.30 n.m. down train, when within a few yards of
the Chilharn station (situate about midway netveen
Ashford and Canterbury). The train arrived all
tight at Ashford within a few minutes of the time it
was due, and then proceeded at the ordinary rate,
according to the statement of the officiah4 ; but some
of the passengers assort that there was an unusual
oscillation just prior to the accident, which
they attribute to the speed at which the train was
travelling. On approaching Chilharn there is a
sharp curve. Here the crank-axle of the engine
suddenly broke, and the rails were torn up for some
little distance, when. the engine and the three first
carriages parted from the remainder of the train and
ran into the station, without, however, doing much
injury. But the other portion of the train was thrown
with tremendous force off the line on to the siding,
and so great was the crash that a tirst-class carriage
was completely broken up, and several others more or
less smashed. One (a third-class carriage) had its
side carried away, and the carriage itself thrown on
to the top of another carriage, The shrieks of the
injured passengers were at this time most ap-
palling.
Telegraphic messages were despatched to Canter-
bury and a special train brought over the following
surgeons to the scene of the accident : Mr. Thomas
Andrewa, Mr. G. Rigden, Mr. Reid, Mr. Alfred B.
Andrews, and Mr. Edwin Jones, of Blackfriars road,
London. In the meantime the sufferers had been
removed to the station and the Alma public-house,
close by, under the care of Mr. Yiddish, surgeon, of
Chilharn. Shortly afterwards Mr. Coxhead, of
Ramsgate, and Mr. Rowles, of the Canterbary
station, were on the spot, and rendered essential
service. Some of the worst cases were taken by
special train to the Canterbury station, and from
thence conveyed in flies to the K.lnt and Canterbury
Hospital. 'rho following is a list of the persons
injured, so far as our reporter has been able to
gather, but many of the passengers with slight con.
tatsiana went on by the next train, ur left with their
friends in private vehicles :

when he can least be spared, though not before he had
won for himself lasting renown, and had received at the
hands of his Sovereiga the gracious and prompt recogni-

Colonel Le Grand Jacob dispersed after a hard fight.
The rebels appeared to have made another stand at.
Hulguller, near Beejepore, and were severely
handled by Lieutenant Kerr of the Mahratta Horse.
These outbreaks are attributed to the Disarming
Act, and in all probability they will extend to Shoora-
poor and other places where we may expect resistance.
At Surat it was reported that a strong force of
Bheels were at Sougard Wayado, within thirty miles
of Surat, and that the town of Wallode had been
plundered by them.
The booty captured at Delhi had been declared by
the Calcutta Government to be " not prize," and that
strict accounts were to be rendered of all the property
and treasure then and now captured, which was to be
returned to the Government. The troops engaged
in the siege and capture of Delhi are to be rewarded
with six months' baits.

These cases have nothing to do with creed,
because Mr. HATCHELL is a Protestant and
Mr. HUGHES a Roman Catholic. Was it right
in Lord CLARENDON (" with the advice of Lord
Chancellor BRADY") to have sent Mr. HATCHELL
into Parliament as Attorney-General for Ire-
land ? and was it right, also, for the same Noble
Statesman, " with the advice of Lord Chancel-
" for BRADY," to have consented to superseding
Mr. HUGHES, and advancing in preference
Messrs. KEOGH and FITZGERALD?
Take another ease. Mr. CORBALLIS (" with
the advice of Lord Chancellor BRADY ") was
chosen by Lurd CARLISLE as " Counsel to the
Castle " (a sort of Deputy Attorney-General
for Ireland). Mr. LITTLE was barbarously
murdered ; there was a mystery in it ; at last
the police got a clue by the statement of a
certain person. A man was immediate seized
and brought before a magistrate. Mr. Con-
RALLIB, on the part of Government, appeared
for the Crown, but soon afterwards Mr. Fitz-
gibbon was also requested by the Crown to attend,
and the accused party received a sort of half
sympathy in his favour, in consequence of the
odd way in which it had been proposed to en.
trap him first, and convict him afterwards.
A county chairmanship of the first class be-
comes vacant, and Mr. CORBALLIS is appointed
to it (possibly in order to get rid of him) ; but
ought he ever have been appointed to the one
office or the other?
Take other cases. There are three Crown
Sergeants in Ireland, and there is no " Ser-
geant's-inn," as here in England. In Ireland,
therefore, a sergeant is a great legal personage
ex-officio, and those special honours have never,
in the ante-Brady history of the Irish Bar,
been conferred on mere second-rate practi-
tioners. " With the advice of Lord Chancellor
BRADY," Messrs. BERWICK and O'BRIEN several
years since were made sergeants, and, although
promotions and vacancies occurred, these
Learned Sergeants were passed over again and
again. It was quite right to have passed them
over, but why should Lord Chancellor BRADY,
in the first instance, have misled English
statesmen about the calibre of so many mem-
bers of the L•ish Bar? The rule on which
the Lord Chancellor of Ireland has acted
should be called " the lift-and-drop system."
He first raises men, and then dashes them aside
after experiment proves them to be failures.
The time, perhaps, is not far distant when
the Whig families, finding how deeply they
have been committed by the practical blunders
of the Irish Chancellor, will give that learned
functionary the full benefit of his own sys-
tematic caprice—a sort of Irish bull, which Mr.
BRADY admit ably personifies. The lifting and
dropping of such secondary aspirants as Mr.
HATCHELL, Mr. HUGHES, Mr. CORBALLIS, Mr.
O'Betax, Mr. BERWICK, and similar " cele-
brities" (!) of the Irish Bar, fully justifies
Lord PALMERSTON in saying, " We must get a
" better system in the Irish law appoint-
" merits ;" but we beg to say, with all respect,
that it is by his acts, not by his kindly words,
that the Premier will be tried.

Obituarg.

THE EARL OF WINCITILSEA died yesterday week at
Haverholm Prior), Lancashire. The deceased noble-
man, who was in his sixty-seventh year, inherited, as
ninth earl, at the decease of his cousin in August,
1826. He was thrice marries'—first in 1814 to the
eldest daughter of the third Duke of Montrose, by
whom he had issue the present earl and a daughter.
The countess died in February, 1835, and in
February, 1837, the late earl was married to the
daughter of the late Right Hon. Sir Charles Begot,
who died without issue in 1848 ; and, thirdly, in
1849, he was marred to the eldest daughter of
Edward Royd Rice, Esq., of Dane Court, Kent, by
whom he had three sons. The present earl, late
Viscount Maidstone, is not at present, we believe, in
England. He was married in 1840 to Constance
Henrietta, daughter of the Earl of Uxbridge, by
whom he has a son and heir and three daughters.
The deceased earl was a Conservative, and well
known for his strong antipathy to the Maynooth
grant and the admission of Jews into Parliament. In
1829 Lord Winchilsea, together with Lord Eldon and
others, strongly opposed the Roman Catholic Relief
Bill, but the Duke of Wellington had brought the
whole power of Government into action, and
triumphantly carried the measure. Lord Winchilsea,
writing to a gentleman connected with the then new
institution of King's College, among other observa-
tions on the duke's motives, imputed to him an in-
tention "to introduce Popery into every department
of the State." The duke demanded an apology for
the expressions used, which not being given, a duel
ensued between them on the 21st of March. Lord
Winchilsea, after the duke had fired and missed,
discharged his pistol into the air, and then tendered
the required apology, which settled the dispute.
THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF ILCFIESTER died
on the 3rd instant, after a brief illness. The
deceased nobleman, a consistent Whig, was tha third
Earl of Ilchester, created 1756 ; Baron Ilchester and
Strangways, 1741 ; Baron Ilchester and Stavordale,
1747 ; Baron of Redlynch, 1747 ; Privy Councillor
1837. The family name of the late earl Was Henry
Stephen Fox Strangways, D.C.L., son of the second
earl by his first wife, daughter of Standish
Grady, Esq. He was born in 1187, and was there-
fore in the seventy first year of his age when he died.
He married, in 1812, the second daughter of Lord
George Murray, Bishop of St. David's, niece of the
fourth Duke of Athol], who died in 1818; and be
succeeded his father in 1802. He was appointed
Lieutenant-Colonel Commandant of the Dorset
Yeomanry Cavalry in 1816, and was patron to seven.
teen livings. The heir presumptive of the wealth
.and
honours of the deceased earl is the Hon. William
Thomas Horner Strangways, born 11'95, who, horn, 14
held various distinguished appointments since. 18.-0,
filled the post of Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
