THE STRIKE AT THE RAKE COLLIERY, which has
excited so much interest in the South Yorkshire
district, and which has lasted upwards of eighteen
weeks, was brought to a conclusion on Saturday last,
and the turnouts resumed work on Monday, the terms
being such as to satisfy both masters and men. The
strike, which has been an enormous loss to the pro-
prietors, and which has also cost the Miners'
Association upwards of 2,0001., has been the means
of introducing several novelties upon the mode in
which strikes have hitherto been conducted—the
living in camps by the turnouts after being ejected
from their homes, and more recently the attack by a
body of strangers upon the dwellings of the black
slie.2p—the men at work in the pit. Several men
have been sentenced to various terms of imprison-
ment for taking part in the proceedings.
THE HARTLEY BEQUEST, made nearly ten years
ago, under which upwards of 100.0001. was left to the
corporation of Southampton, to be expended in
measures to promote the intellectual improvement of
the inhabitants of that town, and which was disputed
by distant relatives of the testator, in the Court of
Chancery, has ended in a compromise, on the
recommendation of the counsel engaged on both
sides, and the litigants having withdrawn their claims
for 22,5001., thus leaving about 78,0001. for the cor-
poration ; but of that sum, however, the law costs
have to be deducted, amounting to nearly 35,0001.,
and legacy duty amounting to nearly 4,5001., so that
all that remains to carry out the dying wish of the
testator is 39,7801.
THE CONSERVATIVE LAND SOCIETY has purchased

master spirit has taken a journey to Sweden, and

" that those who propose it will make an
" honest and sincere proposal, and that they
" will not attempt to accomplish "—he might
have added, " as we did in 1832 "—" one thing
" under the mask of another. If they do, they
"will have the certainty of detection before their
" eyes. No political trick in this country ever
"passes undetected, and the certain result is a
" reaction of public opinion, and a tendency to
" advance too rapidly in the direction contrary to
" that in which an attempt may have been made
"to mislead the public." It is refreshing to see
a philosophical mind like that of Sir GEORGE
CORNEWALL Lnwis extracting such valuable
results from his recent experience ; still more
refreshing to see those results so frankly pro-
mulgated for the common benefit of all. We can
venture to assure the Right lion. Baronet that
although the Conservatives did not stand in need
of the advice which, somewhat unmindful of the
parable of the mote and the beam, he has tendered
to them, they will doubtless act upon the
political truth so sagaciously propounded by him,
in the performance of this as of every other part
of the task imposed by the Whig ascendancy of
the last quarter of a century upon the Adminis-
tration of Lord DERRY—the task of turning
" Liberal" shams into constitutional, and there-
fore Conservative, realities.

THE BISHOP OF NORWICH is still advised to abstain

regret.

Commissioners out of their common fund, with the

have consented to transfer, either in perpetuity or
for one or more nominations, in consideration of the
building of a church or parsonage-house, or of an
endowment being wholly or in part provided. The
nature of the consideration and the term for which
the patronage has been transferred is stated in this

THE PRINCESS'S.—This theatre was reopened on
Saturday with one of those splendid revivals of the
works of the great master spirit of the drama, which
Mr. Charles Kean inaugurated, and which have
become so completely identified with his name. The
Merchant of Venice was the play which was selected
to initiate the season with which Mr. Kean closes a
management unparalleled in its success. In the
general cast there was no material change, and the
effects were as powerfully brought out as ever. The
reappearance of Mr. Charles Kean as Shylock—a
character which he has so faithfully delineated—and
of Mrs. Kean as Portia—one of the best in the
repertoire of this accomplished actress—was hailed
with an enthusiasm which was at once an evidence
of the popularity of those to whom the ovation was
made, and cf the just discrimination which gene-
rally guides the verdict of the theatrical pub lie.
The house, as might have been expected on such an
occasion, was densely crowded in every part. We
understand that King John will be produced with all
the magnificence which characterized its first pro-
euction, and will succeed The Merchant of Venice,
which will continue to be performed during the
ensuing week.
With the exception of the re-opening of the Prin-
cess's, the theatrical history of the week has been so
barren as to leave little to chronicle; in fact, the
programme of favourite pieces which each house has
presented to its patrons has passed off sufficiently
attractive to enable the lessees to dispense with novel-
ties. At the HAYMARKET, The School for Scandal, the
revived comedy of Wives as they are and Maids as
they are, and The Rivals, have been the principal
pieces, followed by the ballet of The Daughter of
the Guadaiquiver, The King's Gardener, and several
amusing nities.—The LYCEUM Still adheres to Ex
tremes, or Men of the Day, undoubtedly one of the
very best of modern comedies. Faultless as a dra.
matic composition, it derives additional force from
the admirable manner in which not only the prin-
cipal but the subordinate parts are performed.
After a run of seven weeks, with the comedy in the
full zenith of its attraclio3, minute criticism would
be out of place ; but we cannot too highly commend
the inimitable performance of Mrs. Weston, as the
Lancashire widow, Mrs. Mellon as Lucy Vavasour,
Miss Kate Saxon as Jenny Wildbrier, and Mr. Jame%
Rogers as the " upper servant."—At DRURY LANE, The
Rose of Castile has been performed during the week
with continued success, and will be followed on
Monday by Flotow's opera of Martha, produced for
the first time in English in this country.—The repe-
tition of good pieces at the OLYMPIC has met with
deserved success.—ASTLEY'S, which has been com-
pletely renovated during the recess, will be opened
on Monday with a new drama entitled The Cove-
nanters, in which the whole of the metropolitan and
provincial equestrian talent of the company will be
enlisted.

PRINCE NAPOLEON'S visit to the Emperor of Russia
at Warsaw is the great topic of conversation this
week, as it was of the last. His Imperial Highness
is, it appears, highly gratified by the cordial manner
in which lie was received by the Czar, and by the
terms in which his Imperial Majesty spoke of the
Emperor of the French and his dynasty. But, con-
trary to ail expectation, be failed in the main object
of bis mission—obtaining the Czar's acceptance of

an invitation to visit Paris. With many civil speeches
and professions of regard, the Majesty of Russia
declared himself unable to come to the " capital of
civilization ;"—he, however, held out a promise to do
so on some future day.
I noticed in my last the report that was current
that one of the objects of the Prince's visit to
Warsaw was to solicit the Czar to grant him the
band of a Russian Princess, or to use his influence
in obtaining for him some German Princess. It is
now said that whilst in the Polish capital the Prince
made arrangements for wedding a Princess Potocki.
The family of Potocki is ancient and illustrious,
though not royal, and is of enormous wealth. But
I attach little credit to the statement, and only give
it as a piece of the gossip of the day.
The Emperor has been down at the camp at
Chalons. His Majesty took himself the other day
the command of some extensive and intricate
manoeuvres executed by the troops. You are no
doubt aware that, though never having been per-
sonally engaged in the grand art of war, bis Mojesty
is considered by competent authorities a most ex-
cellent strategist. As on previous occasions, the
Emperor at the camp lays aside all state, and lives

THE BISHOP of CARLISLE delivered his judgment
in the case of the Rev. T. G. Livingston v. the Dean
and Chapter, in the Chapter House, Carlisle,
yesterday week. His lordship said his opinion was
that the provisions of the Carlisle statutes assigned to
the dean a superintending power on all matters
touching the celebration of Divine service, subject
to the general ecclesiastical law, and that as the
statutes were silent respecting the preparation of
any list of music to be used in the cathedral-
church, the dean was entitled to inhibit the pre-
centor from preparing any such list ; but be could
not concur with the Dean and Chapter in the view
which they had taken of the formal complaints
preferred by the petitioner, which raised a question as
to the proper interpretation of the statutes regarding
the precentor's duties. He should, therefore, restore
Mr. Livingston to the offices of precentor and
minor canon within the cathedral, from which lie
bad, in his lordship'sopinion, been without just cause
removed.

PORTUGAL AND FRANCE.

Our readers will no doubt have observed in the
second edition of the Times an account of the diffi-
culties which have been now for some time in
existence between the Governments of France and
Portugal, with reference to the seizure of the French
vessel the Charles et George. We have much satis-
faction in stating that there is every reason to
believe that it is probable that these differences,
which had at one time assumed a very serious ap-
pearance, will be peaceably and satisfactorily arranged.

"Ready, aye ready !" quoth Little John,
And his nose grew sharp with ire ;
" Ready !" quoth Dickon of Aylesbury,
And his sullen eye flash'd fire.

There was mutiny in the Viscount's camp,
And fear on the Viscount's men,
And many rode forth to seek for aid,
Who rode not back again.

Some cried " Forward!" and some cried "Back !"
And some for a parley cried,
And many a dastard said " Withdraw !"
When he thirst not say " Divide !"
Yet still in the front stood Carduell,
With his tatteed flag outspread,
And the " Resolution " blazon'd there,
I wis, it mote still be redde.

Then louder clamour'd the mutineers,
And rudely spake their mind ;
And Kingston and Finsburie raised their spearr,
And prodded• the Knight behind.

Last came the Viscount of Tiverton,
With a whisper and a frown;
Then Carduell wax'd deathly pale,
And he dropt his banner down.

"Choose now," cried the Knight of Buckinghame,
" Whether to fight or flee ;"
" A boon, a boon !" quoth Tiverton,
" I would crave a boon of thee.

" Let me and my merry men ride away,
And press not o 4 our rear."
" Ride where ye list," the Knight rejoined,
" So ye ride not looting here."

FYTTE THE LAST.

Now Buckinghame's Knight he bides on bench,t
And there he is like to bide,
And Derby's Earle bath the Treasurie,
In scorn of Whigsome pride.

And Tiverton's Lord is sore cast down,
And he groans for ghostly aid ;
And ever he cries "Confiteor !
What a blunder I have made !"

And little John ill can brook his chair,
Y-galled in his seat, I wot ;
And he vows revenge on the Friendly Knight—
Pray Ileav'n he eat him not !

And Dickon of Aylesbury bath the sack,
But he bath not gotte the Woolle ;:
And Carduell's raid is a standing jest,
And he but a damaged tool !

God save the Queen, and bless this land
With honour, wealth, and peace,
And grant henceforth that lust of place
In noble Whigges may cease !

• Prodded. This wool is perplexing. As there vegan to
Dave been treachery at work. it may be derived from " prodere,"
to betray or hewray: but we eamiot admit a learned friend's
construction (however favoured by the context) that Sir Card-
uell betrayed or bewrayed himself.

Probably $ Wpm plaints fur " bides on bent "—i.e., keeps
the field.

This is apparently some comic allusion—possibly to a pm•
verb, of which we cannot ti the date —" More noise then wool.

offender, having already submitted to the penalty
for what he alone had done.

3. The accusers were found to appear in court
with hands very far from clean. They charged
Lord ELLENBOROUGII with rashness, in publish-

ing one letter: he charged them with dishonesty,
in concealing, not one, but several.

4. The substantial right, in the whole matter,
seemed at last to rest with Lord ELLENBOROUGH
whose judgment exactly tallied with that of Sir
J. OUTRAM.

Now, with all these considerations pressing
upon those Members of the House who were not
chained to Lord PALMERSTON'S chariot-wheels,
what could have been ezßected to happen, but
that which, at last, did happen—namely, that a
large number of those Members who were
masters of their own votes, should inform Sir
W. HATTER, at the last moment, that ehey posi-
tively could not march through Coventry with
him and his employers? And it is for thus pos-
sessing, and using, a conscience, that they, or
rather the whole House, is given over to hopeless
perdition by the Times newspaper !


LORD LUCAN'S PROPOSED
AMENDMENT.

THE Earl of Lucl.x has already made his name—
famous, shall we say ?—by a terrible error at
Balaklava. Is he desirous of rendering it still
more unpleasing in the eyes of his countrymen by a
still greater error in Westminster ? He then only
sacrificed a noble body of soldiers ; should he now
be successful, he will make havoc of the highest
assembly that England knows.

His Lordship has given notice, that on taking
into consideration the Commons objections to
the Lords' amendments to the Oaths Bill, he will
move a new clause, to this effect :

" Provided also, that whenever any of her
Majesty's subjects professing the Jewish religion
be required to take the oath appointed by this
Act on any occasion other than an application to
be admitted to sit and vote in either House of
Parliament, the words ' And I make this decla-
ration upon the true faith of a Christian' shall
be omitted ; and that from • after the passing

SIR ARTHUR HALLAM ELTON AND ➢IR.

CARDWE LL'S MOTION.
A PUBLIC meeting of the electors ot Bath was held
on Wednesday evering, at the Guildhall, in that
city, to hear from Sir Arthur Elton, Bart., an
address upon the political questions of the day, and
more especially in reference to the'recant motion of
Mr. Cardwell. The Whig party, as may he ex-
pected, held aloof, but the large room in which the
meeting was held was crowded with electors, and the
reception given to Sir A. Elton was most hearty.
The chair was taken by Mr. Aldeiman Hunt, Presi•
dent of the Bath Liberal Association, who highly
commended the course taken by Sir A. Elton in thus
boldly coming before his constituents to explain and
defend his parliamentary conduct
Sir Arthur Elton addressed the meeting at cmisi-
del able length, and amidst repeated cheers, explain-
ing the motives for 11;s several votes since he bad
been member for Bath ; and, in reference to Mr.
Cardwell's motion, stated his intention of voting
against it had it been pressed to a division. He
considered, he said, that Lord Canning had been
influenced by other parties in issuing hie oroclama.
tion, which was of a dangerous and vindictive cha-
ra,Aer, whilst the despatch of Lord Ellenborough,
though not in all particulars defensible, was honest,
pacific in its tendency, and creditable to the Govern.
ment to whose trust was confided the destinies of a
great empire. In fact, the present Government had
shown itself to be pervaded by a spirit of wisdom end
toleration, and he would not be one to lend himself
to a paltry party movement to oust them in order
that a Whig family clique might again take posses-
sion ot the Treasury benches. He differed from
Lord Derby's Government upon many important
questions, but be contended that they were entitled
to a fair trial, and until they had proved themselves
incompetent or unworthy to govern, or obstructive to
the good of the country, they ought not to be sub
jected to factious opposition. The honourable mem-
ber canvassed the character and antecedents of the
gentlemen who wished to supplant the present Go-
vernment, and came to the conclusion that, although
there were belonging to the late Administration gen-
tlemen who ought not to be omitted from any Libe-
ral Ministry, )et that Lord Palmerston's Govern-
ment were chargeable with succumbing to despotism
abroad, and were unfavourable to the cause of Reform
at home.

At the close of Sir A. Elton's address, a vote of
confidence in him as representative, and of thanks
for his manly explanation, was given upon the
motion of Mr. T. Jolly (town councillor), and the
proceedings tkrminated with a vote of thanks to the
chairman for presiding.

mourning plumes, and hung with tho emblazoned
and armorial escutcheons of the houses of Orleans
and Mecklenburg-Schwerin, escorted by the usual
body of pages, &e., bearing the mortal remains of the
Duchess, inclosed in three coffins. The outer coffin
was covered with black velvet and silver ornaments,
and the plate bore the following inscription:—

Under which were engraved the arms of the
Orleans and Mecklenburg families.

Then followed nineteen mourning coaches and two
horses richly caparison.d, containing the following
mourners.—The Countess de Montesquieu, the
Countess d'Hautpoul, the Marquis de Chanaleiltres,
the Marquise de Beauvoin, the Baronne de Stael,
the Baronne de Finguerlin' the Countess de C"it3fier,
the l‘larquise de Lissetyrie,Madame Bocher, Madame
Marj Olin, Mlle. Bernard, and Mile de Sr. Aubin.
An immense congregation of persons, chiefly re-
spectable inhabitants of the villages in the vicinity of
Weybridge, the majority of whom were ladies, also
attended. The Princes had come direct from Rich-
mond ; the female members of the Royal Family
from Claremont. All the members of the Royal
Family resident in this country were present on the
solemn occasion—namely, the ex-Queen Amelie,
widow of Louis Philippe; the Count de Paris and the
Duke de Chartres, only sons of the lamented Duchess
of Orleans ; the Duke de Nemours, Prince and
Princess de Joinville, and the Duke and Duchess
d'Aumale, with the yguthful members of their re-
spective families.
The funeral cavalcade reached Weybridge at one
o'clock, and, the body having been taken from the
hearse and the mourners having alighted, the
mournful company proceeded to the garden attached
to Miss Taylor's chapel, where the concluding putt
of the service appointed fur the burial of the dead
was impressively read by the Rev. Mr. Schoen and
the other assistant clergymen. Owing to the
Duchess of Orleans being of the Lutheran faith, it
was necessary that this form of proceeding should
be observed. Several of the French Princes, in-
cluding the sons of the departed Duchess, then saw
the coffin removed to the vault beneath the chapel,
wherein lie those of Louis Philippe and the
Duchess de Nemours, where it was deposited within
a stone tomb corresponding with those of the illus-
trious King and his daughter in law. By two o'clock
the funeral ceremony was over, and those assisting
on the mournful occasion bad taken their departure.

to be of Liberal tendencies, is restrained from giving
effect to his principles by a refusal of the Regency :
The King is still in an intermediate state, as it seems,
of fitness and unfitness, and his medical attendants, of
whoa' he has three, declare that his recovery is possible
at any moment, or that be may live for 3 ears without any
change either for better or worse It is difficult, however,
for the public to believe this to be the real opinion of the
doctors, as for the last three mouths there has not been
the slightest attempt on their part to ameliorate by any
medical treatment the state of the King, whic% has given
rise to the general belief that he is incurable. The
Prince, in the meantime, acting upon the opinion of the
doctrra, has refused to take the Regency according to the
Constitution, which in Article 56 says that " in case the
King is a minor or otherwise lastingly hindered (dauernd
verhindern from governing, the next in succession to the
Crown is to take the Regency with the concurrency of the
Chambers." Now, what is "lasting?" If this question
were to be discussed according to the old sophistic problem
of " How many grains of corn go to form a heap ?" the
discussion itself might last throughout eternity ; but if
decided in a reasonable and practical point of view, the
term " lasting " ceitsinly means a period to which no
definite end can be assigned. This is precisely the case
with the present illness of the King. A fair trial has been
given to his recovery during eight months, and now, at the
end of these eight months, the only positive statement
which the doctors have made is that no definite end can
be assigned to the period of hindrance. It is therefore
easy to see that the present manlier of canning on the
Government has become illegal, and that the longer it
lasts the more the Prince places himself in flagrant oppo-
sition to the Constitution.

The best interpretation of the Prince's conduct is,
that lie is actuated by feelings of delicacy towards
his brother. But it is thought to be a remarkable
fact that none of the Prince's former friends and
advisers are at this moment to be found by his side.
