THE CASE OF MR. FITZJAMES.

Mr ROEBUCK wished to put a question to the Secretary
for the Colonies, which would require a few words of ex-

planation to render intelligible. There was some time since
in Sierra Leone a man of colour named Fitzjames, who was
called to the bar by the Middle Temple, and afterwards pro-
ceeded to fill a legal office in that colony. During the ab-
sence of the governor he became acting governor. The
governor on his return showed some hostility towards him,
and took means for getting rid of him. The Colonial-office
lent themselves to that unworthy purpose. Thinking the
man had been ill treated, he had moved for a return of papers
bearing on the case. These papers were circulated and taken
out of the charmed circle of privacy. In the papers there
was a statement relating to two respectable inhabitants in
Sierra Leone, which they considered to be libellous. Pro-
ceedings were taken before a court of law for redress, and
he wished to know whether the right hon. gentleman would
send out the original documents in order that they might
be produced in eviaence at the trial.
_ _

Mr CARDWELL said that in the course of the year a
solicitor had applied to him for the papers in this case ; but,
having taken legal advice and found that the document ap-
plied for was a privileged communication, he did not feel it
to be his duty to give up the paper. He thought it was
better to leave the case in the hands of the law courts.
CARRIAGE OF TREASURE ON BOARD HER

MAJESTY'S SHIPS.

In reply to a question from Mr H. TRACT on the sub-
ject of the carriage of treasure on board her Majesty's

ships,
Lord C. PAGET said the question of Greenwich Hospi-
tal would be taken into consideration in the forthcoming
autumn, and the Government would be prepared to insert
some provision with regard to the freight of treasure on
board her Majesty's ships which would meet the case re-
ferreA to by the hon. member.
ROMAN CATHOLIC PAUPER CHILDREN IN

rules were to be made, which would be submitted to the
board for registration, and afterwards to the Secretary of
State for approval.

AQITATICS.—(This Day,)

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE EIGHT
OARED MATCH.

PUTNEY, Thursday Morning.
The favourable impression created yesterday by the ca-
pital performance of the Cambridge crew against the water-
men has not died away, and although it can hardly be said
that the betting is level, still the followers of Oxford are
very "coy" at laying the odde, and the Cantabs are looked
upon as a splendid crew. This morning they started from
Putney at half-past 11, and after paddling up to Mortlake,
started down from the Ship at a very fine pace upon the
ebb tide, which was, however, weak. They broke away
very gallantly and regularly, the pace being at 37, 38, and
39 pulls per minute, taken without any irregularity or
change in the style of work.

At a quarter to twelve the crew of picked London water-
men, who made so admirable a race yeste,7day against the
Cantabs, were put into requisition this morning to row the
Oxonians, and they started away from the London boat-
house and wended their way up the river to B trker s R ail,
where they had to stop soma time for the Oxonians, who
did not leave Putney until some time after them. It was
arranged that the gentlemen should take their spurts with
the watermen down, and not continue the whole dis lance—
taking the first turn from the Earl's down through Carney-
reach to Cheswick Church, and then to Hammersmith and
Putney. Tho pace of the gentlemen at the start was fully
equal to that of the watermen, and they were rowing down
when our report left.

PUTNEY, Half-past Two P.M,

The trial between the watermen and the Oxford crew is
just over. It has astonished all behjlders. The watermen
have been thoroughly well beaten. Yesterday the Cam-
bridge certainly beat them after a very arduous struggle,
but there has been no such exertion to-day on the part of
the Oxford crew. They went right away from the water-
men after a few pulls, and then waiting for them, did the
same thing again and again. As the watermen may fairly
have been considered in better order to-day than they
were yesterday, people wondered, and the watermen them-
selves, who had thought Cambridge good, wondered also.
Betting directly went up to 7 to 4 on Oxford.

LITERATURE,

Perks d Orient. P4r le Chevalier de Chat elain
One vol., pp. 262. Itolandi.

Another charming volume from the indefatigable
Chevalier de Chatelain I As a man of letters, ap
pertaining almost equally to France and to Eng-
land, to the country of his birth and the country of
his adoption, his industry is almost as remarkable
as his taste and his poetic volubility. His writings
are evidently with him labours of love. They are
literally effusions—not " pumped up" but " flow-
ing." They have the flavour and the sparkle of
spontaneity. And they follow each other
with surprising rapidity. It might be said of
them with a punning truthfulness, that in
both senses of the phrase applied to the apparitions
in the spectral scene in ".Macbeth'—" another
and another still succeeds.'' For it is surely
in signal evidence of their success that they thus
steadily increase and multiply, as the years roll on,
these now rather numerous " 0 uvrages du Chevalier
de Chatelain." In this the latest of them all, the
accomplished writer has realised a very graceful
fancy—a fancy the nature of which the title of the
work itself sufficiently indicates. "Pearls from
the East," thoughts, imaginings, imageries, re-
collections, drawn from the Orient—as Mr.
Kinglake expressed it, in a word, years ago, a word
since then famous because familiarised, " Eothen."
The contents of the little volume are divided into
parts. The First Part is original. The Second
Part is composed of Translations. Both of them,
in the strictest and fullest sense of the term,
are oriental in their character. Pearls they are,
showered down—individually, before M. Garcin de
Tassy, to whom the volume is gracefully in-
seribed—geverally, before the educated public
on both sides of the Channel, before
French-loving Englishmen and English-loving
Frenchmen, as souvenirs dear to the hearts end
intellects and souls of those two great and kindred
nationalities. For, to the two of them equally,
the East, from which these poetic pearls are
gathered up, has ever its peculiar and thrice-wel-
come fascination. If we might, without appearing
to be in any way invidious, make the selection,
we should certainly be disposed to award the pre-
ference in this volume to the Chevalier's own origi
nal compositions, those constituting the first of the
two divisions. Anil, in justification of our pre-
ference we would direct attention, among other
poems in that First Part, to Le Songe, Le Bssoin
d'Aimer, and Les Revere de Fortune.

Certainly the owners of the Alexandra cannot
complain that they have been ruined in the dark, or
that their complaints have been hidden in a corner,
and not made manifest. The case is patent to the
world, and whatever may be the result of the pro-
tracted investigations, the injured parties have at
least had the satisfaction of having their wrongs
explained and their rights vindicated. A more able
and eloquent advocate than Sir HUGH CAIRNS they
could not have possessed, and his terse arguments
and pointed remarks have carried conviction to
many minds which, before perusing his statements,
were biassed in the contrary direction. One can-
not but reflect, at this stage of the proceedings, on
the very obstinate and wilful conduct of the Go-
vernment. Perseverance in a good cause is a noble
thing. It 18 imbued with those qualities which espe-
cially acorn and elevate humanity. It has fired the
patriot to achieve the wondrous works which have

brilliant characteristic, and those who cannot emu-
late its courage, heroism, and devotion, can yet
accord their seed of praise to its lofty sentiments,

CANTERBURY HALL,
The Fairy Entertainment, entitled

PRINCE BLOSSOM IN THE LAND OF SHADOWS!
Is written expressly for this establishment by W. F. Vander-
yell, author of the celebrated " Enchanted Hash," and en-
ables Mr. Morton, with the aid of Professor Pepper's Optical
Illusion (known as the Ghost), to produce effects never before
contemplated. and which have all been duly registered by
him and Mr. J. H. Weston under the title of •' The Ghost in
the Magic Fountains." By this new arrangement, that
which is in reality nothing but a shadow, becomes to all ap-
pearance endowed with life, and when "Fame" takes her
flight through the burning Cataracts, and the Naiads seek
their beds in the Cry tal Waters, form a coup d'cell of beauty
unparalleled even in fairy romance.

Prince Blossom (with the Song of all Nations), Miss Townley.

In this case a commission had been ordered for the exa-

Egypt, and the parties came before his lordship on the ques-

interrogatories.
Mr. T. Jones, on the part of the Attorney-General, said
the evidence must be given viva voce, and not by interro-
gatories.

thought it the duty of Government to take the matter
is
hand if there was any necessity for the change.
Mr. WALTER thought after the declaration of tho
Chancellor of the Exchequer that certain amendment's
would be necessary in committee it was useless to go vn
with the bill. If Parliament reduced the scope of tue
measure it would become a dead letter, and that being his
opinion, he should reluctantly vote against the motior4for
the second reading.
Mr. GOSCHEN supported the bill.

Mr. WALPOLE said the bill now before the house was
urged forward on the plea that it was of importance to assi -
imitate the qualifications at Cambridge and Oxford; that '42.0
contended was not the true object of the bill, and therefore
the house would do well to reject it.
Sir G. GREY supported the bill, and denied that any
object other than that set forth in the bill could or was in-
tended.
Mr. DODSON replied, and
Tho house divided, when there appeared—
For the second reading 2ll

The bill was then read a second time.
ELECTION PETITION'S BILL.
Sir G. GREY, in moving the svcona reading of this bill.
said it was substantially the same as that zeferred to a
select committee last year.
Sir F. GOLDSMID objected to the measure, and sup.
posing it to receive a second reading to-day, he should move
its rejection upon going into committee.
The bill was read a second time.
ME IROPOLIIAN SUBWAYS BILL.

In answer to an hon. Membcr,
Mr. TITE said the object of the bill was to render use
tut the subways constructed by the Metropolitan Board c
Works. After the second reading he should move that th
bill be referred to a select committee.
The bill was then read a second time, and referred ac-
cordingly.
