THIS DAY.-TUIRD SITTING.

This morning the Congress re-assembled at Exeter-
hall, under the presidency of Sir DAVID DILEW3TEIt.
The proceedings commenced with the reception of a de-
putation, consisting of fifteen working men from France, re-
presenting the game number of trades. The deputation
was introduced to the Congress by Mr. Ilr.sity Viser.sr,
who explained that the expenses attending it were defrayed
by subscription, the names of Lausartine, Victor Hugo, and
Oirardin heading the list.
A letter was read from M. Victor Hugo, addressed to a
friend, and expressing his regret that he was unable to at-
tend the Congress.
The Rev. Mr. RICHARD intimated that there were a
great many gentlemen pre,ent who would be glad to
address the Congress, but as the time would not admit of
speeches being delivered by all who were anxious to take
an active part in the proceedings, he trustedthat some
forbearance in this respect would be shown.
Mr. HINDLEY, M.P., wished to offer n few observations

to the meeting, %cesium: it would be a source of regret to Inns
if his silence were construed into the idea that he
had lost one particle of the interest which he had always
felt in this important subject. Eight years had now elapsed
since he ha the honour of presiding at the first assembly of
the peace convention held at the Freemasons' Tavern, and
when he considered the small number of people who
attended on that occasion, ho could not but congra-
tulate the members of the congress upon the pro-
gress which this great cause had made in the public
mmd. It might be said that the principles they
sought to establish were Utopian, and that those who
advocated those principles were a good-natured, though
silly, people. (Laughter.) For his part he was willing to
bear his share in such reproaches--if it ho a ground of re-
proach to denounce the continuance of warlike institutions,
and to contend that disputes and differences ought to bo
settled by the intellect rather than by physical force. (Hear)
Man was a rational being, and the promoters of this
peace movement were of opinion that it was only by calling
into exercise his mental qualities that the great evils com-
plained of could be averted. (Hear, hear.) The presence
of this vast assembly, and the many powerful addresses
which had been delivered, afforded the most gratifying
evidence that their cause was advancing; and that Sheer
prophecy would ere long be so completely fulfilled, that the
sword would be beaten into the ploughshare and the spear
into the reaping-hook.

Film VINSAILD, a workbag engraver, one of the depu-
tation, next addressed the meeting, and was followed by
Dr. KIVUTSWACRI, from Frankfort.
Mr. C. GILPIN thee moved the 4th resolution : " This
ussigresa, regarding the system of negotiating loam for the
prosecution of war, or the maintenance of warlike arma-
ments, as inunend la principle and disastrous in operation,
Mews its emphatic condemnation of all such loans."
Mr. E. Musa seconded the resolution, and Mr. S.
was supporting it when we went to press.

LITERATURE.

Lorca of the Queens of England, front the NOMMan Con-
quest. Now first publishedfrons Official Records and other
authentic Ilucurnents, prirate as well as public. By
AOSES STIIICKLAND. A new edition, revised and greatly
augmented. In eight volumes. Volutue First. Colbura
and Co. ltibl.
It is not often that we notice new editions or
issues of well-known and popular works; but the
"greatly augmented" in Miss Strickland's title-page
is no empty boast, and we therefore feel disposed to
go a step beyond our usual practice.
We will not affect to be always at one with Miss
Strickland in matters of opinion, or to concede with
her in her estimates of historical evidence. Thus
much, however, it is no more than simple truth
to say: that she is always delicately feminine and
right in her moral estimates, and that the unwearied
persevering industry she has brought to her iv-
searches cannot be surpassed.
To know and judge of past ages we require to look
at theta from many points of view. The political
historian presents us with only one phasis of society;
the ecclesiastical historian the same. The biographer
of one person lets us into the peculiarities of one in-
dividual and his immediate circle. 'rho writer of a
classified series of biographies like Miss Strickland
occupies an intermediate rank between the writer of
ose biography and the general historian.
The " Lives of the Queens of England" is a van-
tage ground whence many interesting discoveries of
the pressure and form of society can be obtained; and
the fair historian of our Queens has ably performed
her task. The facts to which she has directed
attention—which she has in many instances dragged
to light for the first time—frequently throw an en-
tirely new light on the motives which have animated
the most prominent actors in our history. Of this
no better proof need be given than the extensive use
that has been made of her discoveries by Lord
Campbell in his Lives of the Chief Justices
of England. It could have been wished
that Lord Campbell had been more candid
in acknowledging the extent to which he has
been indebted to Miss Strickland—not for her sake,
seeing that her volumes have been more generally
read than his, but for his own credit.
We have no doubt that the remaining seven,
volumes of Miss Strickland's new edition will equal
in interest and ability the one that is now before us;
and in that case they will be a most important con-
tribution to our knowledge of the character, social
position, and influence of English women from the
Conquest to the accession of the House at Bruns-
wick, as well as a history of our Queens.

GERMANY.

Herr von Auerswald, the former president of the
Rhine Provinces, so unceremoniously removed from
Lis post by the Prussian government, on account of
hispolitical opinions, haspositively declined to accept
the election to the First Member for Dusseldorf, be-
cause it would be considered a political demon-
stration against the government.

PORTUGAL—Iasnos JULY 14.—Eleven ser-
geants of the 16th Regi. have been arrested for

ROME.—A letter from Rome, of the 14th, states
that an attempt was made on the 11th to assassinate
Monsignor Tumuli, Bishop of Terni, by blowing up the
ihouse he inhabited at Santa Maria Maguire. For-
I tunately the incendiary missile, consisting of the
nave of a wheel loaded with powder and grape-shot
which was to set fire to a quantity of combustible
matter in the cellar, exploded before it reached its
destination, and only caused some slight damage to
the outer wall of the building. The unknown au-
thors of this criminal attempt had previously had the
hardihood to stick up bills in the streets, inviting the
friends of the prelate to be present at his funeral.
Monsignor Tizzani is almoner-general to the Ponti-
fical troops. An immense store-house for forage,
situated outside the Porta Salara, and belonging to
the coach-hirer Bachilli, who is also the proprietor of
the Caffe Sciarra, where the French officers generally
meet, was set fire to on the 12th, but the games were
stopped in time.

FATE OF SMITHFIELD MARKET.-DECISION
OF THE LORDS' COMALITTEE FOR ITS ABO-
LITION.

This day the committee of the lords decided, the case for
the government bill having been closed, that they would
" postpone the preamble until the clauses were settled," or
in other words—this style of expression being peculiar to
the House of Lords—implying that the preamble of the bill
for the removal of Smithfield market was proved, subject to
the settlement of the clauses, whoa the committee will de-
liver their decision formally.

IRELAND.

Denttw, JULY 22.
The following important communication has been
received from Lord John Russell in reply to a state-
ment recently submitted to him by a numerous body
of peers and members of the House of Commons
connected with this country on a subject which has
lately attracted a good deal of attention here, namely,
that of completing and amalgamating the railway
system in the north of Ireland. Lord Enniskillen,
the chairman of the meeting at which the statement
referred to was adopted, has transmitted a copy of
that document, with the Premier's reply, to the
foreman of each grand jury in Ulster, that their
formal approbation may be given to the proposed
plan :
Downing-street, 17th July, 1851.
My Lorl,—ller Majesty's government have considered
the application which has been made to them in a memorial
presented to me by your lordship and others connected with
the province of Ulster, relative to the extension of railways
in that part of the United Kingdom.
Iler Majesty's government are fully sensible of the ad-
vantages which would result from the extension of railways
in Ireland upon a system which would be economical, and
of the peculiar advantages to be expected from connecting
the centres of population and commerce with the agricul-
tural districts of the province of Ulster.
They do not, however, conceive themselves warranted in
supporting any scheme based upon advances to be made
from the public funds.
But it it shall be made apparent to them that a scheme,
similar to the one which is recommended in the memorial,
is generally desired as the best means of providing railway
communication in Ireland, or in the province of Ulster, her
Majesty's government will be disposed to lend their assist-
ance in obtaining legislative authority for establishing such
a system.
They understand the principle of the proposed system to
be, that the interested localities should be responsible, and
should guarantee such a security upon their rates as will in-
duce private capitalists to supply the necessary funds.
They arc of opinion that such a measure should only be
carried into effect upon a decided expression on the part of
counties or districts of their willingness to be rated to tho
extent required fur the construction and maintenance of the
railway in which they may be interested. It appears also
essential that a sinking fund should in all cases be provided
for the redemption ol' the debt, and that no guarantee for
promoting railways should, together with any other exist-
ing liabilities, be allowed to exceed a certain proportion
upon the value asgessncil.

I have the honour to he, my lord, your lordaliiiis most
obedient servant, J. ltvssrm..
The Earl of Enniskillen.

TRADE_ IN GUANO.

Mr. ALCOCK moved for a select committee to be ap-
pointed to inquire into and report on the state and pros-
pects of the trade in guano. Ite would undertake to prove
that the trade in sumo should only be U. a ton, and that
guano was perfectly inexhaustible in Peru.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER really
thought that the hon. gentleman had made out no case.
He could not agree to the appointment of a committee at
this period of the session.
The house then proceeded to dispose of the orders of
'the day.
INVERNESS BRIDGE BILL.

This bill passedti;iniiiic,;;;iiiii;: as also did the Soap
Duty Allowances Bill, and the Militia Pay Bill.
METROPOLITAN INTERMENT.

On the order fur going inM committee on this question,
Mr. BRIGHT objected to the house going into commit-
tee at that hour on a measure, the details of which they
were not acquainted. with.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER briefly
explained that the object of the government was to supply
the Board of Health with the requisite funds for the pur-
chase of certain cemeteries pending negotiations between
the Board of Health and certain cemetery companies.
Lord D. ST crua objected to money being voted at that
hour of the morning.
Mr. BRIGHT inquired what amount the right hon. gen-
tleman proposed to take in committee ?
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER replied
130,0001. (Oh, oh.)
Mr. BRIGHT thought that a most extraordinary pro-
ceeding. (Hear, hear.) However, the sum named was
but a trifle to what the right hon. gentleman would be com-
pelled to seek. The Interments Bill of last session warmest
ill advised, and highly discreditable to the government,
and in particular to the Home Secretary. In conclusion,
he should move, as an amendment to the question that the
Speaker leave the chair, that the Board of Health be or-
dered to furnish to the house a specific detail of everything
that they had done in connexion with the Metropolitan In-
terment Act since the passing of that measure.
After a few words from Sir B. HALL,
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER agreed to
postpone the committee to next (this) day. The house
then, at a quarter to 2 o'clock, adjourned.

Lord J. RUSSELL would certainly not permit the con-
sideration of the navigation laws to come on on Thursday,
and, if the debate were adjourned, he should propose to
adjourn it till Friday.
Sir B. HALL said that he would present the petition on
Thursday or Friday, as might be most convenient to the
noble lord, and he would give notice to the noble lord.
Debate adjourned till Friday.
Mr. DISRAELI asked whether, under these circum-

second statute repealed the first ?
The caw was argued at length by Mr. Phinn and Mr.
Montagu Smith, but the arguments were of too technical a
kind to interest the general reader.
The court was of opinion that the last statute did not re-
peal or absorb the first one, that the terms of them were not
inempistent, and that they both existed together.

INQUEST ON AN OLD NAVAL OFFlCER.—Yesterday
morning an inquiry took place before Mr. Bedford, at the
Red Lion, York-street, St. James's-square, as to the death
of James Thompson, Esq., aged 65, a gentleman of fortune,
who was formerly in the naval service of the East India
Company. The jury having viewed the body, which was
lying at Croekford's Palace-club-chamber,, St. James's-
street, John Flegg , chamberlain at Crockford's, stated,
' that the deceased had resided there for the last seven
months. On Wednesday morning he hied breakfast as
usual, and gave directions as to whet he wished done. At
half-past eleven he gave witness a stock to have a buckle
put on, and on taking it back at twelve he was not in his
room, and he supposed he had gone to the water-closet. In
the evening, as he had given no orders about his dinner, wit-
' nese went and knocked at his door, but no answer was re-
, turned. Inquiries were made, but no one had seen him, nor
could he be anywhere heard. At last it was determined to
open his room door, as witness became greatly alsrmed at
seeing his silver snuff box on the taLle, his gold watch on
I the mantlepiece, and his hat and gloves on one of the chairs.
He then went to the waterclowt, and the door having been
' forced open the unfortunate gentleman was discovered bent
up with his head on the floor, quite stiff, and he must have
been dead for at least six hours. Mr. Armstrong, of Duke-
street, surgeon, said he found deceased as above described.
He had • white neckerchief on, and a black one over it.
which were wry tight, but tied in the usual way. He had
sines opened the body end found extensive disease of the
heart, quite sufficient to cause death. In his opinion he
had fainted, and fallen down with his head on his shoulder,
and the tightness of his neckerchief might have caused an
overflow of blood to the brain.—The jury found that he
had died of disease of the heart

Foe AttouaL

A flatness has pervaded the market to-day, and
but little business transacted ; a few purchases havo
been made in Devon and Courtney, and numerous
inquiries for Tremayne and West Providence shares.
la foreign shares there is nothing doing.
A vessel has arrived in the river front Arklow, her
entire cargo consisting of 100 tons of sulphur ore,
the production of the sister country.
A favourable change has for some time past been
looked for in the mining share market, and, judging
from the aspect which business has presented during
the week, it seems probable that an improved state
of things is even nearer at hand than was by some
persons expected.

COMMERCIAL AND MARKETS.

MINCING LAVE.-THIS DAY.

The public gales declared fur to-morrow are few and un-
important. The private contract markets arc generally in-
active, but native Ceylon mace has been in large demand
the lag two days, and about 2,600 bags sold chiefly at
38s. 64. ; the lust price today was 39e., at which there do
not appear now to be sellers.

Teit'has been steady.
M ETA I.4.—The prices of iron have shown a slight decline,
but it has induced the tin& to buy more freely. Lead
quoted the name as last week. Tin.—East India Hansa has
been sold 83e. ; Straits, 81.. Gd. to 82s. English prices are

In the course of Saturday afternoon 9,723 persons
visited the Crystal Palace, a number, with one exception, i
smaller than that recorded of tiny previous Sa. day. At two
o'clock 1,371 persons had entered the building, and at eve
the arrivals amounted to 9,113. An this was the last day
of the In. charge—the price of Saturday aduriasions cum-
meeting at 2n. 6.1. next week—the proportion of season
ticket holders in attendance was large. As much es 511.1
10s. was taken in the sale of the new tickets issued at the '
reduced price for the remaining months of the season.''
Throughout the day the oppressiveness of the weather WY
overpowering, the thermometer ranging from 75 to 80 deg.
in a moist and stagnant air. With the exception of Colonel
Reid, the executive committee were absent from the build-
ing on Saturday, having accepted the invitation of the
municipality of Paris, and gone thither to make holiday ;
the whole arrangements of the Exhibition have, however,
so much automatic power that the withdrawal of official
supervision from the Crystal Palace is scarcely to be inferred
from observations made within the structure.

THE RIVER PLATE.

The intelligence received by the Geyser, and stn-
' marised in Monday's Express, was brought from the [Liver
Plate to Rio Janeiro on the 16th October by the United
States corvette Jainestown, which sailed from Buenos Ayres
on the 7th of October, and stopped iu the harbour of Monte
Video for a few hours on the ieght of the Bth, in order to
land her pilot, but held no communication with the chore.
The officers reported that, seeing the city of Monte Video
illuminated, they inquired the reason, and were informed
by their countrymen on board the frigate :Congress that
General Oribe had capitulated, and that Governor Urquiza
had entered Monte video on the morning of the Bth of
October. They were also informed that General Oribe was
on board the English corvette Tweed, and had expressed a
strong desire to proceed to England. The intelligence front
Buenos Ayres was important. The arrival of the three
families of General Oribe, his brother-in-law, and son-in-
law' had created a strong sensation there. General Rotas
hail openly displayed extreme irritation ut the con-
duct of his lieutenant, Oribe, and had been beard to
exclaim, " Conquered without striking a blow !" Ile had
quite thrownielf the mask, and at every fresh step showed
more plainly the cloven tout. Oribe was no longer "his
worthy ally, the legal president of the Oriental state," but
denounced as " a foul traitor to the Argentine cause," and
was publicly burnt in effigy accordingly. This disgrace he
shared with Generals lUrquiza, Vivasoro, and Benavides
(the governor of San Juan), upon whose names every pos-
sible insult was heaped and against wlwou dire vengeance
was threatened by the /oiled dictator, who had gone through
the farce of having himself proclaimed " Supreme Chief
of the Argentine Confederation" by the assembly of his
creatures called the " Provincial Junta of Buenos Ayres."
The news brought to Rio' on the 17th October, shortly
before the sailing of the Geyser, by the Paquete do Sul,
confirmed the foregoing, and added that the war was now
virtually at an end, the Argentine troops of Oribe having
joined Urquiza, and the election fur president of the
Oriental republic being about to take place as sewn as the
excitement produced by recent events should have in some
measure subsided.

LETTER FROM MR. HUME, M.P.

lowing letter from that venerable reformer, Jmeph Hume.
For many reasons, personal and political, it will he read
with interest : _ .

"My dear Sir,-1 thank you for the reception you gave
to the • Dian of the people' cat Hungary, and um confident that
the proceedings at Southamptuu, and everywhere else that
L. Kossuth has visited, will be productive of great good tt, the
cause of popular and responsible government in this and in
every other country. 1 am sorry that I had not the satis-
faction of seeing and cougratulatiug him on his escape from
the hands of the oppressor, and, further, of expressiug my
biliCere desire that success may attend his efforts in the
cause of good goverumem. 11ii cause is our muse, anu I
admire the talent manifested by him iu the several
answers to addresses and at public meetings. It will be
• difficult tusk far any man claimiug to be an
Englishman to deny the truth of his statements,
and I hope his advice may receive more attention from the
aristocracy of this country than they have shown to his
person. The state of my health has prevented my paying
my respects to him, but I hope a future opportunity may
otter. I have two objects in addressing you besides the ex-
pression of my thanks or your conduct towards him, viz.,
Ist, to suggest that Mr. Capel or Gilpin, or some person I
connected oith the press, should collect all the addresses to
Kossuth, and the best reports of his answers, verbal and
written, and have them printed in a good type, and at the
lowest possible price, us I anticipate tor them cir-
culation in this and other couutries, and more
benefit to the popular cause (the cause of responsible
government) than tram any other means 1 know. You can
see to this being dune, and we will ask Lord Palmerston to
send copies of the collection to all the courts its Europe., as
ne aid cat isle. Gladstone's letter. '2nd. To apply to the At-
torney-Liu:tend, to whom I have written, to give us his best

remove the shackles on knowledge, which the stamps
impose.

IRELAND.

Thrum:4, Nov. 18.
Mr. Reynolds, M.P., proceeded yesterday to the
Lord Mayor's Court for the purpose of disputing the
claims of persons to be admitted as freemen of the
city by right of marriage with the daughters or
grand-daughters of freemen. The practice of admit-
ting such claimants had fallen into disuse, hut having
been revived by the present Lord Mayor, has given
rise to much discussion, as by the multiplication of
the class of freemen, many of whom are paupers and
non-residents, the property franchise of the city may
be altogether swamped. The Lord Mayor having
procured from Mr. Serjeant Greene an opinion in
favour of the course which he has pursued, decided
that he should continue to act upon it until further
advised, so far as the admission of persons married
to the daughters of freemen, but he would give no
decision with reference to claimants by right of
marriage with grand-daughters.

In this case a rule fora mandamus had been obtained to
be directed to the Master and Fellows of Dulwich College,
commanding them to admit Richard William Alleyn, who
had been elected to the office of warden of the college, to
the performance of the duties of that office.
The case was argued on Monday, the principal question
being whether the assistants—namely, the churchwardens
of the parishes of St. Saviour's, Southwark, St. Butolph,
and St. Odes's, Cripplegate Without—had • voice in the
election of warden.
This morning the court gave judgment in favour of the
crown, thereby deciding that the assistants had the right
of voting, and that Mr. Richard William Alleyn was duly
elected to the office of warden.

KOSSUTR'S DEPARTURE.

The Mayor of Southampton received yesterday a
telegraphic message from the Peninsular and Oriental
Company iu Loudon, stating that the royal Peninsular
mail•puekct Jupiter was at his service on Thursday next,
for the purpose of conveying Kuseuth from Southamp-
ton, to Cowes, to embark on board the Humboldt.
special meeting of the town council of Southampton
was held yesterday, when it was resolved to invite
have been instantly met, this council resolves to invite
his Excellency to a dejeuner on Thursday next, previously
to his departure on has great mission to the United States
of America.

Governor of Hungary and his suite, the members of the
Southampton eorponition, and the representatives of the
metropolitan and local press.

WARWICK AND LEAMINGTON NOVEMBER

MEETING.

The stewards, contrary to the opinion of the majority of
the trainers, decided yesterday morning that the ground
was not in a fit state to run on, and postponed the meeting
to Tuesday and Wednesday next. Bets, as a matter of
course, are off; and it is doubtful if the races, having been
carried over into another week—no power to do so having,
we believe, been taken in the published conditions—instead
of being postponed from day to day, as required by the
Jockey Club rules, arc not altogether void. Had the •takes
in the card, yesterday, been brought to an issue, there
would have been twelve or thirteen starters for the War
wick Handicap, as many for the stake for two-year olds
and upwards, nearly twenty for the one mile selling stakes,
and a good field for the Welter Cup. A great many
horses were also in the town for the steeple chase.

DRAMA.

lIAYMARKET.

Last evening Mrs. Stirling commenced an engage-
ment here, on which occasion " The Ladies' Battle ' was
performed fur the first time at this theatre. The piece, it
is well known, is an adaptation from the French, and was
produced at the Olympic Theatre last season, when Mrs.
Stirling personated the same character in which she ap-
peared last night. The play is one of those light and
agreeable productions which belong especially to the French
school of comedy, and the part assigned to Mrs. Stirling is'
peculiarly adapted to her naive and graceful style of acting.
The character was sustained on this occasion with much
dramatic power and with a lady-like ease of deportment,
which afforded room for congratulation that the manaiwr
had made so worthy an addition to his " company." The
applause awarded to this favourite performer was such as
to show that she is likely to be a valuable acquisition to the
theatre, and at the fall of the curtain she was called for-
ward to receive the tribute usually accorded to successful
debut ,stes. Mrs. Stirling was effectively supported by Mr.
Leigh Murray and Mr. Howe, and the piece was received
with sufficient favour to warrant a frequent repetition.
