ROUSE OF LORDS, June 30.
(Continued from our Afternoon Edition of yesterday.)
BUSINESS OF THE SESSION.
Lord LYNDHURST took a brief review of the busi-
news of the session, and thanked the Government for the
firneness with whidh they had resisted the clamour that
was raised out of doors for a dissolution of Parliament
°oon after they came into office. The delay which had
taken place before the prorogation had turned out to be
of the greatest benefit to the country, for measures of a
far more valuable and important character had been
passed in the present session than had been passed for
many previous years. He therefore thought the present
Government were entitled to the grateful thanks of the
country.
Lord BEAUMONT denied that the credit of passing
he Bills referred to was mainly due to the present
Government. The credit should rather be given to the
moderation of the majority of the other House, and to
the assistance afforded by the Opposition in that and the
other House to the Government in enabling them to
get through the business that was brought forward. He
thought that in consequence of the haste with which
some of the measures had been passed they
found to be very imperfect when put into operation.

he had borne to the course of proceeding

their Lordships and the other esouse if he accepted the
klompliment .which had been paid to himself and the
other members of the Government without admitting in
the frankest and most unequivocal manner that,
for the success which bad attended the determina-

ated the importunity from various quarters with

wet period which would not only have been inconvenient
roaeally to themselves, but would have involved the
personally
in great inconvenience, and probably have led
tee the postponement, if not.the loss, of many useful mea-
sures which they deemed it their absolute and bounden
Ilitf to propose to Parliament. When he had the honour
of first addressing their Lordships after assuming office,
hp specified certain measures which the Government
alemed of pavemount importance, and which they con-
sidered it was absolutely necessary should be passed be-
fore an appeal should be made to the country. First
and foremost among these was the Militia Bill, for in-
creasing the national defences of the country. Next
came the measures for legal reform, which were no
doubt recommended by the Commission that was ap-
pointed by their predecessors, but the. machinery of
which was mainly owing to the zeal and knowledge
which was brought to bear on the subject by
the present Lord Chancellor. In addition to
these, they thought it important no longer to delay
carrying into effect a measure for giving
representative institutions to New Zealand. They were
also anxious to contribute to the health of the metropolis
by promoting a system of extramural interment, and
improving and increasing the supply of water. If, there-
fore, they deserved credit for anything, it was for
having justly estimated the degree of public spirit which
they believed prevailed in this and the ether House,
:This public spirit hail permitted them to act on the
principle of abandoning all measures which rni,r. tl
to controversy, and had obtained for themba sad
their
support, regardless of all party considerations,
ftir carrying these measures which wore im-
peratively required for the ic
good
the country.—(dear.)
It was 3. source of great gratification to
hear that that short
• •
Vestion had been marked with as effected an advance of
public business as bed erer been effected in a longer
seogion, or with a stronger Government at the head of
affeirs. He confessed that the opposition which had
been offered to her Majesty's Government had not
been carried beyond the fair limits, and he be-
lieved that there was no proof that with re-
gard to those great measures which had been intro-
anctd afid carried by her Majesty's Ministers, they
ht,cl been in a minority in this or the other 1101130 of
paeliament. Upon one question, certainly, his colleagues
in the other House had been left in a minority, but
the reasons which led to it were not so much
based on the nature of the measure itself,
as it being considered a departure from the understand-
jag which was laid down at the commencement of the
seeeion, that no measure should be introduced which was
not of an absolutely necessary character. At the
same time, he gratefully acknowledged that while
the Government had acted on this understanding
to the best of their ability, they had not
been met with any factious opposition and had en-
ctruntered none but perfectly fair and honest opposition.
To their Lord-ships he owed special thanks for the nand-
nese which they had shown him in carrying on the
necessary bnsine's of the Government is that
110/14e. Hs thought if they had followed the
adricn that had been recommended by some gen-
tleman, and dissolved the Parliament on first
taking office, and have summoned a new one, which
would probably have meet about this time, he was per-
sealed that time would have °sun wanting for carrying
out those great aad important measures which
had lately passed through both Houses, and ho
thought, too, that if they had beam introduced at the
commencement of a new Parliament the public attention
would have been addressed to them less with a reference
to their intrinsic merits than to party . Ile him-
self. thought that they ought to be considered without any
reference to party feeling-, he did not wish that party
teeteetts should pervade all their discussions. It was his
aim sad that of the Government to reconcile the
different clasees of the country, and to obtain
the confidence of the country at large by doing what
they believed to be for the benefit of all.
Earl GItEY allowed that many important
had been passed, but ho did not think the
Gmeasures
Government
were entitled to take ae much credit for theta
seemed to take. Their passing was rather to be "they
attri-
buted to the political interregnum which had t k
a en place,
tied to the fact of the Government having adopted the
bawd, of their predecessors—measures which they
bad, in soma instances, opposed when in opposition.
Lord BEAUSIONT could not admit the correctness
of the Neble Lord's (Derby) statement, that he had
carried jut his policy—ho had merely carried out that
of the former Government.
The Royal assent was then given by Commission to
the following Bills:—
Industrial and Provideat Societies.
Turnpike Trusts Arrangements.
.Sete:ch Flax (Ireland) Mills.
urghs (Scotland).
Ge level Board of Health.
Dienbilities Repeal.
Roteesenreive Peers (Scotland) Act Amendment.
pet:eat:ger,' Act eleneeemene,
Pc- Commiseioa Ctratinuanc (Ireland).

Sir W. P. WOOD added to what ho had already stated
in reference to the Master of the Rolls, that the Bill was
prepared by the late L)rd Chancellor upon the recom-
mendation of the report of a Committee, and the Master
of the Rolls had nothing to do with the preparation of
its provisions.
Tim SOLICITOR-GENERAL said he was convinced
the House would feel perfectly satisfied with this expla-
nation ; and he was equally convinced with his Noble
Friend in another place that no stigma whatever could
be attached to the untarnished reputation of the Master
of the Rolls in reference to this or any other subject.
It was quite evident that the statement complained of
was made under a misapprehension, which perhaps
*as excusable when it %vas remembered that his
Noble and Learned Friend who made it had
been so much taken up with such extensive and
valuable law reforms as those which had just been
brought about. He would take the liberty of mention-
ing, in conclusion, that those improvements were only
the precursors of others of a far more important cha-
racter, which would bo proposed to future Parliaments.
After a few words from Sir IL WILLOUGHBY,

The Lords' amendmovic was disagreed to, and a
Committee appointed to hold a conference with the
Lords' on the subject.
SUITORS IN CHANCERY RELIEF BILL.

The Lords' amendments to this Bill were considered
and agreed to.
RELIGIOUS PROCESSIONS.
Mr. HENRY BERKELEY wished to ask whether
the Act in force to prevent Roman Catholic processions
cannot restrain processions by clergymen of the Church
of England in imitation of Roman Catholic processions;
and, if it cannot, whether her Majesty's Government
have any intention to frame such an Act as may put a
stop to such practices.
Sir P. KELLY said in answer to the question of his
lion. Friend he had to state, in the first place, that the
Act of ParHainaut which was now in force had no rela-
tion whatever to religious processions—if such had ever
existed—in which clergymen of the Church of England
perfoimed a part. The Act of Parliament applied entirely
to proessions composed of Roman Catholic priests or
Roman Catholic persuns.—(llear, hear.) With regard
to the remaining part of the question, ho had only to
state that the Government were not at all aware that the
law had been violated in the manner represented in any
Part of the kingdom; and therefore it was scarcely ne-
°,,esary for him to state that the Government had no
intention whatever of proposing, either in this or any
other Parliament, a Bill of the nature suggested by the
question.—(llear')

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCHESTER,
TUESDAY.—A decline of c. per lb
in the price of 'cotton, at New York, is quoted to the
16th inst. In the southern markets, however, busi-
ness was active at full rates. The total receipts
were 2,915,386 bales, against 2,239,792 last
year. The growing crop is reported to
have escaped injury from the late rains and floods,
and it promises as well as at any previous date.
Yesterday and to•day the Liverpool market has
been inanimate, but without any change in prices.
By the Overland Mail we have advices from Calcutta
to the 11th of May, and from Bombay to the 22d.
The Calcutta market was still depressed as regards
piece goods. The advices from the provinces were by
no means encouraging. Mule twist was selling ra-
ther more freely, but prices remained unimproved.
The rate of exchange was tending slightly upward.
We regret to find it stated in a private letter to a
firm in this town, and by a communication to Lloyd's,
that, just as the Calcutta mail was made up, there oc-
curred a hurricane which the former describes as most
destructive to shipping in the Hooghly and to build-
ings in the town; the latter, however, does not ap-
pear to represent the disaster as of so serious a cha-
racter. The state of trade at Bombay was dull, partly
from the south-western monsoon being near at hand,
and partly in consequence of heavy imports. Ex-
change was rather higher than at the previous date.
The American and the Eastern advices have jointly
contributed to a continuance of quietness in business
at large. The home and foreign buyers of yarns have
endeavoured to obtain what they wanted on somewhat
more advantageous terms than spinners would agree
to last week ; and partially they have been able to do
so for some kinds of warps and bundles. There is,
however, very little change ; and, on the whole, the
tone of the market is firm. In goods there is scarcely
any alteration to notice. The makers of the better
qualities of 50. inch shirtings have experienced rather
more inquiry, apparently for export to China. There
continues to be a good demand for printers from 41b.
upwards, and also for 9-8, which causes them still to
harden in value. Our cloths continue much in the
same state as last week.

KEMSING, SEAL, AND iihrOßD.—The bine is in a
healthy, growing state, and free from vermin of every
description.
CANTERBURY.—Since last week the hops have
grown very much, and are looking a better colour ;
very little fly is to be found, and the present appear-
ance indicates a good crop. General accounts are
pretty much to the same effect—stating the hops to
be free from vermin, but needing settled and warm
weather.—Maidstone Journal.

ROCHDALE, MONDAY.—Pieces have had a ready
sale at previous prices; but those manufacturers who
have stood out for an advance in order to meet the
lat 4 advance in wool have not been very successful.
Wool is firm, and there is a fair demand for it.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY,—The manufacturers are
asking, and on some sorts of goods are obtaining,
rather better prices ; but the demand is far from active,
both in our piece hall and in the warehouses. The ad-
vances on yarn noticed in our last have tended to
limit the transactions ; and, with the present high
price of wool, the spinners cannot obtain a remune-
ration for capital and labour. There is not much old
wool in the market, and the sales are not so nume-
rous. but the quotations are remarkably firm, and the
rates asked by the farmers for the new clip con-
siderably exceed those likely to be realised here.
RUDDER FIELD, TUESDAY.—Our market has been
flat to-day ; not many buyers in the town, and
business dull in the cloth hull. A few parcels of
mixtures and clouded goods have been purchased
for the Home market. Merchants and shippers com-
plain of the dulness of trade. The wool market id
vary quiet ; manufacturers will not give the advance
that is asked by the importers of the raw material.

yet Captain Hamilton had thought it

A case of this sort was a disgrace to a country which

in seconding the motion of his Noble Friend. He, from

hoped there would be no opposition to the motion.
Sir W. JOLLIFFE regretted that the subject had

ought to have been afforded for procuring information on
the subject. It was most unusual in such a state of
things that no representation had been made to

literary interest in the Lower House, and Ido not
think that there could be any ' opposition' to his claim
of being the first novellist at present in the House of
Commons. The only other M.P. whom I can find
avowedly contributing to the fiction interest is Mr.
Grantley Berkeley, whose novel of ' Berkeley Castle,'
and its consequences, might furnish a chapter to
' Curiosities of Literature. Lord J. Russell, as
author of ' Don Carlos,' is the only dramatist in the
Lower House, and he ranks also amongst essayists,
biographers, and historians, by his various publica-
tions. Lord Mahon and Colonel Mure are at the
head of
the historical and critical 1.1.P.'s ; and I
perceive the names of Mr. Macgregor, Mr. Torrens
M'Cullagh, and Sir John Walsh, as authors ,of
historical writiegj. Under the head of poets, I
observe Lords
Maidstone and John Manners, and
Mr. Monckton Milner.
The ' travellers' are more
numerously represented in the Lower House of
Parliament than most other departments of litera-
ture ; amongst them are—Lords Jocelyn and Naas,
Mr. Emerson Tennent, Mr. Urquhart, and Mr.
Whitside ; and I think that Sir George Staunton and
Mr. George Thompson may be classed with the tra-
vellers. In the department of political philosophy'
I find Mr. Gladstone, Sir Wm. Molesworth, Mr. W.
J. Fox, and Colonel Thompson. Mr. Cornewall
Lewis, Mr. Roebuck, Mr. George Smythe, and Mr.
4
Mackinnon appear amongst the general essayists.
Mr. Walter, Mr. Wilson, and Mr. Wakley may be
ranked with the editorial interest ; and I may add that
Mr. Butt—the new M.P. for Harwich, besides being
the reputed author of a three volume novel, was for
some years the editor of the ' Dublin University
Magazine.' The biographers aro represented by Mr.
Grattan, author of a five volume work on his cele-
brated father. The pamphleteer department is
represented by ' legion,' and I pass it by, with
the remark that Lord Overstone in the Upper,
and Mr. Cobden in the Lower House, are at
i4ll head by the. importance of their publications.

A GOLD DIGGER'S STORY.
SYDNEY, FEBRUARY 28, 1852.-1. received your
letters dated September 6th and October 19:h, to-
gether with half a dozen new spapers, last Friday,
just a week after my arrival in Sydney from the
" Diggings," where I have been since I last wrote to
you. I walked both up and down a distance of 180 miles
each way. I have had plenty of hardship and bard
work, without making a fortune; however, I made
what would be called in England good wages,—
V. a week clear of rations and all expentes—
but, oh what labour and discomfort to 111'10
that ! But I will endeavour to
give you a slight
sketch of my expedition. I started from Mr.
S--'s house on a Thursday mortling—l for-
get the exact date—with a chart of the road,
made for me by a friend who had travelled it be-
fore. Fifty miles from Sydney I crossed " Razor
Back," a particnlArly high arid steep mountain.
After I got over, 1 had, for the rest of the road, a
distance of 130 miles to travel over mountains and
through the bush, with few houses in the way, and
some of them 50 miles apart, and going without
seeing a human being for a couple of days together.
Plenty of kangaroos, opossums, bandicoots, parrots of
all species and colours, and cockatoos, both black and
white. They were new to me, and their novelty
lightened the tedium of a long and wearisome
journey. I arrived in Braidwood, a small village,
14 miles from the scene of my future labours,
on the night of the eighth day from the time
I left Sydney, and next morning wended my way
to the diggings, situated in a gully or creek
between the mountains, and with mountains all round.
There I joined a party of three rough kind of charac-
ters, but honest hardworking. men. The first week or
ten days was a hard trial to me, handling the heavy
tools. I assure you that for the first fortnight I never
lay down in the tent at night without every bone in
my body aching as ifit were broken, but I persevered
and soon became hardy and strong. The Government
regulation and system of working at the " diggings" is
this—you pay to the commissioner appointed by Go-
vernment 30s. for a month's licence, and get 20 feet of
ground measured out to you. Thus, a party of four,
by paying 61., gets 80 feet of ground: in length, and
the breadth of the gully or creek, to work,
and no man is allowed to put a spade into the
ground without paying his '3os. a month licence
money. The gold is found at various depths from
the surface down to 30 or 40 feet below it. We did
not get any until we had gone down from 15 to 20
feet, to large rocks called boulders. When we were
down about 10 feet the water came in upon us, and
two out of the four had to keep constantly baling.
From daylight in the morning till dusk in the even-
ing have I frequently worked up to my middle in
water, and that water fairly poisonous, so impreg-
nated with mineral matter, that if it touch any place
where the skin has been knocked off in the slightest
degree, you are very safe to have a festered wound
there, and one that you will not get well in a hurry
either. It also affects the eyes ; no one
escapes sore eyes; mine are very much weak-
ened, but much better than I expected they
would be at one time, from the state they were
in; but I must go on with the digging. We open a
hole about 12 feet by 7 or 8 broad, and go down
through the top soil, red sandstone, blue and white
clay, and some stuff like rotten granite, till we come
upon these boulders—we move them with crowbars,
and underneath lies the vein, a bluish kind of gravel,
containing the gold in greater or smaller quantities.
Through our claims the vein runs very thin—in
some places not three inches deep, and very poor, only
a few penny weights of gold in 30 or 40 bucketsfull
of stuff; but as yet we have only worked the bank,
but expect the bed of the creek will yield a rich
harvest. We shall not be able to work it till the
winter sets in ; there is too much water now,
caused by the snow melting on the mountains.
I think, however, when the water goes down
I shall have a chance of making an odd
hundred or two. A party, about 200 yards
higher up the creek, have, by the aid of pumps, suc-
ceeded in working the bed, and with great success,
making from 30 to 40 ounces a man per week, and
they say the vein runs right down the creek into our
claims, so I suppose when the water goes down we
shall have our turn at making a trifle. But I will
tell you how we procure the gold. When we get
down to what we suppose workable stuff, one takes a
large round tin dish, called a " Prospecting pan,"
puts a shovelful of the stuff into it, and washes it in
the stream running through the creek ; the gold, if
any, falls to the bottom, and you wash the rest of the
stuff away-100 specks in a dish is a very fair ti pros-
pect." The stuff is then passed up in buckets and
washed in the cradle—that I need not describe ; you
will have seen plans of them in Liverpool. Tbeir
construction is exceedingly simple.
You have no idea what labour and hardship there
is connected with gold digging. The whole time I
was up there Ido not think I worked dry two days
together. Your fare is coarse, and you eat your
meat cooked almost any way. You sleep at night on
the ground, rolled in a blanket, with a calico sheet to
keep the dew off. With daylight in the morning your
labours commence, and close at dusk in the evening.
The work is hard, the life is a rough one, and the
characters you have to associate with rougher still,
but as long as money is to be made I can bear alt
the discomforts. As long as a man is willing to work
he can always earn a living there, and has the same
chance as others of making a fortune, and there have
many nice little fortunes made since the
been very
diggingscommenced.
Of the many thousands who will be drawn out here
by the news of the gold, those who come here with
the fallacious notion that when they get to the dig-
gings they will have nothing to do but stoop and pick
the. gold up will be most wofully mistaken. They will
have to work hard and endure privations and hardships
that no one in England can imagine. While I was
up, I saw many parties who came out from Sydney
bent on making their fortunes ; they came down to
the creek, looked down in the hole?, saw men work-
ing up to their middles in water, then, thoroughly
disgusted, turned away and returned to Sydney
without ever putting a spade in the ground. I have
come down to buy a few things ready for the winter
campaign. I only arrived here yesterday week
and am off again to join my mates the day after to-
morrow.

On the hill, about a hundred yards from where our
tent is pitched, is a favourite tree; in the evenings,
when it got dusk, I used to retire and sit under this
tree to smoke my pipe and think. My rr-fl:?otions, I
must confess, are sometimes sad and lonely ones,
when I think how far distant I am from all that are
dear to me in this world. I have no kindred spirit
here—my mates are men of no education, quite
common men, but good workmen and steady. Of
Course, we are all on an equality as long as
we work together, but they, under any
other circumstances, would be no company for
me—we agree very well, and I would rather have
for mates in gold diggings rough-span chA-acters, ac-
customed to hard work all their lives, than fine gen!le-
men from behind the counter or oat of (Aces' who
never handled pick or shovel, and
with whose con-
stitutions a day's work in a waterhole would be very
likely to disagree. It is
you, and I think more profitable I assure
mates. myself fortunate in getting such

the base of the Pyrenees. The letter stated that they
had fallen into an awful predicament, from the neg-
ligence of their agent, who had failed to remit them
3,000/. ; that they nad the mi:sfortune to lose I,Boof.
on their journey ; and that about 4001. would set
them riz,ht. The prosecutor proceeded to the Con-
tinent and found them prisoners, as they had de-
scribed, in the prison of Pau. He look instructions
from them there as to their family connexions. They
stated that Lady Emily was the daughter of Lieute-
nant• General Sir Willi m o'l3:ien Fitzgerald, for-
merly of the Guirds, Se,., and that they were known
t(-1 the Earl of Carlisle and the Duke of Sutherland.
The Sutherland children, she said, visited her mother's,
be', in consequence of their marriage not being
sanctioned by Lady Emily's parents, the friendly in-
tercourse with the Sutherland family had fallen off.
L.,1,4" Emily added that her husband's mother was
the Priuce,s Castaglioni. They had been confined in
pri,on more then 12 months, having been
denounced as swindlers. Finding they were
tuffering great misery, pros?cutor paid 4501.
for their d: b'', and 2401. as security to
the Court of Appeal for their appearance when re-
quired. He peaded for them at the Court of Appeal,
and obtained their lib,rty. He then brought them
to Dover and supported them. They then asked
prosecutor tor 401. to go to the north of England to
6eo some relations, when they would soon get some
money from them to repay him. The money was
advanced, they went away, end nothing more was
heard about theta, Their representations about being
connected with high families and their agents were
di6covered to be untrue, and iu the course of some
seven or eight months they were apprehended at Bar-
mini Castle, near Durham. Io the prisoner's box
was a letter dated July,
1850 from the Earl Fowls to
Lady Emily, which had contained 100/. sent to their
relief. The Earl of Carlisle gave evidence that his
family were unacquainted with the prisoner or his
wife, and that their representations of being related to
the Norfolk family were perfectly false. The jury
found the prisoner guilty. The prisoner said he was
innocent of the charge. He was sentenced to trans-
portation for eeven years.

You talk about roe sending you a consignment of
dust; if I have any luck and make a hundred or two
the coming winter, I do not think I shall send it
home. The great influx of people we expect will
make a property in a couple of years double the
value it now is ; therefore, if I am able to make
something I think bricks and mortar will be the in-
vestment. You can purchase lend and build a com-
fortable house here for 300/. or 400/.
The gold market is fluctuating, it has been up to
31. 10s. and down to 31.; 31.45. and 31. 6s. are the pre-
sent prices. given. Fruit is very plentiful and cheap;
beautiful peaches ld. a dozen; grapes, apples, and
pears equally cheap. I have lost six or seven pounds
in weight while up at the diggings, taken out in pers-
piration, I suppose, but am exceedingly well in
health, with face, neck, arms, and hands almost as
dark as a black fellow's, from exposure to the sun. I
shall have rather a different complexion on my return
to England to what I had when I left. If I can
make arrangements I will write to you from the
" Diggings," and send the letter doweto Mr. S. here
to post.
I have rather a rough prospect before me. They
say it is as cold, or colder, in winter up among the
mountains, where I have been, and am returning to,
than it is in England in the winter time ; and I can
believe it, too ; for, though the commencement of the
winter was still a good.way off, there was a white
frost on the ground every morning for some weeks
before I left, and the prospect of working up to one's
middle in half-frozen water is certainly not a very
bright one.

THE ROMANCE OF SWINDLING.

INSTITUTION OF MECHANICAL
ENGINEERS.
A special general meeting of this institution was
list night held at the rooms of the Society of Arts.
Mr. M'Connell, engineer of the North-Western Rail-
way, in the absence of Mr. Robert Stephenson, M.P.,
presided. The following papers were read and dis-
cussed :

Mr. MAusHALL, the secretary of the society, read
a paper on the principles of the centrifugal pump,
furnished by Mr. Scott, of London. These pumps, it
may be remembered, excited considerable interest at
the late Great Exhibition, and a controversy then
originated, which has been continued to the present
tune with considerable warmth with respect to the
merits of Appold's, Gwynne's, and Bz-ssimer's arrange-
ment of the radial arms and other points connected with
the carrying out of the principle. As it was expected
that the R::per to be read on this occasion, and the
discussion that would ensue, would throw some light
on the subject, there was a considerable attendance
of engineers and scientific persons. Unfortunately,
however, the paper dealt only with the principles of
the centrifugal pump, and did not profess to give any
practical result whatever. The opinion of the writer
of the paper, that practically considerably less than
50 par cent. could be obtained by the centrifugal
power, was combatted by the friends. of Messrs. Ap-
pold and Gwynne on" the one hand, and by the ad-
vocates of the old system on the other. On the part
of the fortner it was contended by Mr. Crampton
and others that the result of the trials made at the
Great 'Exhibition by Mr. Hensman showed a clear
result of 75 per cent., nnd that pumps since constructed
by Mr. Appold had given from 69 to 70 per cent.
A gentleman from Mr. Gwynne's also gave some
facts connected wi h the working of a pump con-
structed upon his plan ; but in neither case was any
suffiei-nt data given fur arriving at a satisfactory
result.

Mr. VIGNOLES stated that the whole question of the
value of this class of pumps resolved itself into the
profitable conversion of speed into power, and as no
evidence had been given on the point they were un-
able to come to any conclusion on the subject.
The further discussion of the paper was then ad-
journed to the next meeting.
The remaining papers read were :—On the Expan-
sive Action of Steam in Locomotive Engines, by Mr'
Daniel K. Clark, of Edinburgh ; on the Exansion
of Lolated Steam, and the Total Heat of Steapm, bY
Mr. Charles W. Siemens, of London ; on Bourdon'th
Metallic Barometer, Indicator, and other applies'
tions of the same principle, by Mr. Charles Cowper,
of London ; on an improved Screw Propeller, by
Mr. George I3ovill, of London ; and on a New Direct
Acting Steam Pump, by lir. Wm. K. Whyteheadi
of London.
The meeting then adjourned.

At the Dover Quarter Sessions on Friday, the
Hon. William O'Brien Fitzgerald, alias William
Bennett Sothers, underwent his trial for obtaining
various sums of money to the extent of 8701. from a
gentleman named Payne, a solicitor at Dover, urder
fraudulent pretences. The case excited very great
interest, and among those on the bench was the Earl
of Carlisle.
The prisoner had the appearance of a foreigner, and
was well dressed. His wife claimed the title of Lady
Emily Fitzgerald, and represented that she was the
widow of Count Eltz, that her mother was related to
the ninth Duke of Norfolk, and her name was Lady
Ann Isabella Howard, and that her father was Gr-n,..
ral William O'Brien Fitzgerald, of the Guard
statements were false. The prisoner was formerly ti
member of the Stuck Exchange. Some four or
years ago the prosecutor was residing with b.
at Eyethorne, and while there he became :ti

August he received a letter from them.

THE BURIAL ACT.
The Burial Act may be made useful even as it is, if
it be carried out with knowledge and vigour. If we are
to Judge, however, from a sentence in the speech of tb°
mover, little will be done with it. If only such grounds
are to be closed es are proved public nuisances, what
with the ignorance on the subject which still exists, the.
with blindness of some, and the struggles of interested
parries, the evil work will long go on. Burial within
towns ought to b© at once and wholly forbidden. It iS
an enormity which barbarian nations from the earliest
times have recognised and avoided, an enormity proved'
an enormity pronounced against by the people and by
Parliament, and which is nevertheless still to be pra!^
tided. What we are speaking of are not trifling matters;
they concern a city where 156 persons die every dal,
and thousands die annually from preventible causes;
where, during the next thirty-one years, there will be
two and a quarter millions of bodies to be buried. In
England and Wales there are of the male population
266.000 constantly sick; and 165,000 of these are to be
found in London alone; this London where every year
16,000 persons are shot out from the prisons on to the
streets without resources, where 30,000 naked children
roam on the pavements, where one out of every twentY
of the inhabitants awakes without knowing where to
find food or shelter! It is time that large evils were
looked at with large minds.—Builder.

House; OF LORDB.—A report on the Parliament-
office, and on the office of the Gentleman Usher of the,
Black Rod, has lately been confirmed by the House 0!
Lords, in reference to the new Parliament. It appears that
a fee of five guineas is paid by each Duke to the rnee:
seoger of the Great Seal for the conveyance of the writs of
summons of Peers to Parliament, and a fee of two guineas by
each other Peer, which emolument has produced on the
average of four years, including one new Parliament, 2341.
per annum. The Lords' Committee resolved, that as all
other fees raid by Peers of the House of Lords, and also by
Members of the House of Commons, have been abolished, the
fees paid by Peers on receiving their-writs of summons be
also discontinued, and that in lieu thereof there be paid to
the messenger, during his life, 2001. a year, from the Ist of
June, and that the messenger in the Crown-office be paid
451. a year for obtaining in future the writs of summons, and
attending during the sitting of the House to deliver them to
the Peers. This new arrangement is now in force.
