AMERICAN YACHT BITILDERS.--Wo have another
arrival this morning from the clipper country. He
seems like a regular go-a-head; sets down all our yachts
as mere logs, and calculates that he can build one that
will sail round them all. Ile has brought a model yacht
over with him which he intends to send to the Royal
Yacht Squadron-house for the inspection of the mem-
bers. He says, "I guess that if I don't build a yacht
that will whip every craft that ever swain inside the
Wight, I'll never see Yankey-land again."

missioner of Works why the privilege of riding down
Constitution-hill to the Birdcage-walk was withdrawn
from the public?
Mr. WALPOLE said he was glad that this ques-
tion had been put, because he had a very simple reason
to give to it. The privilege had not hen withdrawn,
nor was it intended to withdraw it.—(Hear, hear.) No
privilege connected with the parks had been withdrawn
from the public since her Majesty ascended the throne,
while last year the stable gate was opened to the public
for the purposes of the Exhibition, and it was not in-
tended to withdraw that privilege.—(Hear, hear.)
NEW ZEALAND.
Mr. ADDERLEY presented a petition from Canter-
bury colony, in New Zealand, complaining of the conduct
of the Governor m misrepresenting the principles on
which the colony was founded, and praying the House
to consider them a constitutional Parliament of their own.

CHICORY.
Sir PAGE WOOD said considerable apprehension
was felt among parties interested in the growth of chi-
cory, in consequence of a statement which had been
made in another place, and on behalf of a number of
gentlemen who had invested considerable capital in the
manufacture of chicory on the faith of a Treasury minute
issued August, 1840, he wished to ask whether it was
the intention of the Government to make any alteration
in that minute; and whether it was intended that such
alteration should take immediate effect?—(Hear.)
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said the
Treasury minute respecting chicory had not been altered,
and when it was altered it would be done in such a way
as not to injure the fair trade of the country.—(Hear.)

ITALY.

In the sitting of the 14th of the Chamber of De-
puties at Turin, the Minister of Finance presented a
13il1 for the establithinent of an electric telegraph,
from Turin to the French frontier, through Chain-
bery.
The Opinion of Turin, which is the organ of
the Progressist party, contains a curious leader in its
number of the 13h, on the financial state of Austria.
The writer attempts to show that Austria is sinking
lower every day in her finances, and that the only
way for her to get out of the difficulties in which she
is involved is to " make a cession of L ombardy fur a
sum of ready money." This is the first time since
1848 such an idea has been started.
M. TRIERS arrived at Turin on the 13th from
Genoa.

prepared and submitted to the House ; and when
the Government were prepared to give a certain time
for the nomination declared that he would be com-
pelled to make a long speech in support of his views.
The appointment was thus necessarily post-
poned, and eventually Mr. HORSMAN was com-
pelled reluctantly to abandon the investigation
from the difficulties thus interposed, and the late
period of the session to which it has been postponed,
more particularly when a general election is im-
pending.

But will the Bishop of BATH and WELLS be served
by this palpable evasion of inquiry, after the state-
ments that have already been made, and the expression
of feeling elicited from the House and country ? The
division of the Bth of June was a practical con.
demnation of his conduct. A majority of forty-five
declared that a strict and searching investigation
was essential, and yet that investigation has been
avoided by the acts of his friend and repre-
sentative. Would not a person with clean
hands have courted, nay, more, insisted upon the
inquiry taking place ? It was only by a deliberate
verdict of that Committee, founded on adequate evi
deuce, that his character could be fully vindicated.
We doubt if the most hostile report could have been
more injurious to the Bishop than what has taken
place, and we regret that a dignitary of the Church
of England should be placed in so unpleasing a
position.

The proceedings will not, however, prove altogether
fruitless. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER sig-
nificantly alluded to the defective and unsatisfactory
state of the law, and voluntarily declared that " it
would be the duty of Government to take into their
serious consideration the whole question, with a.view
to applying a remedy to those grievances that existed
as to the institution of clerks by bishops." The ob-
ject of Mr. HORSMAN may thus be achieved, although
the reputation of the Bishop may not be eatisfacto.

CRIMINAL LAW.

Mr. CROWDEitiosi;lC;a;kthe Secretary of State
fc T the Home Department whether he had received any
a pplieutions in favour of William Hamblyn Pascoe, a
n tedical practitioner, sentenced to ten years' trensporta-
V.on at the last Cornwall Assizes, for administering
s evin with intent. to procure abortion; and whether he
'as aware that the opinion of the only medical witnes:,
fi n. the prosecution, that no medical man of competent
a kill would use satin unless his object were nbortiov,had
b een shown to be erroneous by a large body of the me-
d ical profession,. and hsd beets admitted by the witness
h. inaself; 81,11C0 the trial, to have been expressed in ig-
n,aranceof the fact that satin is in use in the profession
for legitimate purposes; and whether it was the iuten-
ti en of her Majesty's Government to advise a pardon or
al ay mitigation of the sentence?
Mr. WAL. L'OLE said several applications had been
re tceived in favour of the prisoner, and the greatest at-
tv mien had been paid to them on account of the re-
st actability of the parties. Unquestionably the medical
practitioner, who gave the evidence to the effect that
sioirte was only used to procure abortion, gave it under
m
am, erroneous impression. But the Hon. and Learned
G ontleman would draw a very wrong inference from this
ac (mission
if he inferred that the case was not sufficient
to support a verdict of guilty. And as the circum-
st antes of the case had made a great stir, he wished
to. say that according to his investigation of the
facts proved (and ho had gone into the case most
carefully), ho had no hesitation in expressing his own
conviction that the prisoner was guilty of the offence.
H, must have known the condition of the female—be
had her in his own house daring the administration of
th a drug—he had given doses of fourteen grains at a
to ne every day for more than a fortnight—the child
Wt ;5 born in his house, and carried by hun for secret
burial without the knowledge of any parties; indeed he
(Mr. Walpole) considered that this amply justified the
co uvictioia.—(liear.) It was not, theretore,:his inten-
tion to advise the Crown to grant a pardon or commuta-
tion of the sentence.—(Hear, hear.) He must add, that
th ese cases gave great anxiety to tiny one who filled
th a office he had the honour to hold—(Hear, hear)—
an though ho had given. an answer on this occasion
be cause it had made a great stir, he hoped that Hon.
M embers would not press such inquiries on future occa-
sions.—(Hear, hear.)

The expense of the line of railway from Bordeaux
to Cette, the concession of which has just been made
by the Government is estimated, says the Constitu-
tionnel, at 140 millions, of which 35 millions are
given by the State, and the company is to furnish the
rest. In order to . procure the necessary
sum, the company is authorized to issue 60
millions of shares, and 40 millions of bonds. The
State guarantees 4 per cent. on this sum for fifty
years. From the
.statistical documents collected, the
is expected to produce a net

the revenue from the canal, estimated at 850,000 f.
The annual revenue would consequently be 5,580,000 f ,
which represent an interest of 51 per cent. on the
100 millions placed at the charge of the company.
The subvention of 35 millions made by the State is
to be divided over the five or six years, which will be
occupied in the construction of the line, so that the
State will orlyincur an annual sacrifice of from

SPAIN.

The accounts from Madrid are of the 21st instant.
QueenlsenELLi was to assist on that day at a
grand military parade at La Granja.
General LARA, Minister of War, was to leave
for Gigon, to be present at the inauguration of the
railway, and to inspect the manufactory of arms at
Trubia. The Minister of Marine was to direct ad
interim the Department of War in his absence.
The Herald° states that in the beginning of Sep-
tember Queen ISABELLA, and her mother MARIA
CHRISTINA, will have an interview at Villacastin,
within a few leagues of La Granja, on the road to the
Asturias. Queen ISABELLA will afterwards return
to La Granja, and Queen Maria CHRISTINA will
proceed to Taran gon. In that interview, adds the Ile-
raldo, the political questions so long spoken of will
probably be settled in a definitive manner.
M. VENTURA DIAZ had taken pos!ession of the
Civil Government of Madrid.
The Three per Cents. were done at 45i-' ; the New

GERMANY.
A Frankfort journal states that, in a secret sitting
of the Second Chamber of Electoral Hesse, on the
21st, a proposition was made for the suppression of
civil marriages, as opposed to Christianity. The
proposition was to be discussed in another secret sit-
ting on the 22d.

A Vienna letter, of the 24th, states that the Em-
peror of AusTaiA, has recently granted several par-

MINASTS PORTRAIT OF " THE DUKE."

Another ands very masterly evidence has just been
afforded by M. Minasi of his extraordinary powers as a
pen-and-ink draughtsman. The drawing to which we
aro here directing public attention is one which we are
gratified to remember has been submitted to our per-
sonal examination. It portrays, in a really wonderfully
accurate copy from the celebrated painting of Sir Thomas
Lawrence, the familiar features of our departed hero,
Arthur, Duke of Wellington. Nothing can be more
exquisitely delicate than the touch of the old artist's hand
as visible in every one of those most accurately defined
lineaments. Added to which, there is manifest in the
drapery a boldness and a precision which are seldom
found more admirably defined oven in the atastcr•picces of
line engravings. A curious testimony of the vigour thus
displayed in the handling of the goose•quill by M. Minasi
is given in what is technically known as the crosshatch-
ing. It is in the smoothness, the roucdness, and the deli•
eau of what we may almost venture to call the flesh-tines,
that the skill of the draughtsman is rendered the most
conspicuous. Wo understand that this drawing has re-
cently bee❑ submitted to the inspection of her most gra-
cious Majesty, and his Royal Iligbness Prince Albert.
While it constttutcs the latest, it must also be regarded
as one of the most remarkable of the specimens, yielded
by ALAI inasi, of a sell 001 of art in which ho stands alto-
gether without a competitor.

INSOLVENT DEBTORS' COURT.—Nov. 1.

(The sittings of the Court were resumed before Mr
Commissioner Lew.
IN THE HITTER OP DANIEL HUMBERT.

This insolvent (a Frenchman) applied to be discharged
under the Act.

Mr Sargood appeared to oppose on the part of the de-
taining creditor.
An objection, in limine, was raised to the opposition,
on the ground that notice, as required by rule of court,
had not been given for the present occasion. It turned
out on reference to the opposition book, that notice was
entered for Tuesday, the 2d, instead of Monday, the Ist
November.

Mr. Commissioner Law held the objection to be valid,
and refused to hear the opposition.
In answer to the Learned Commissioner, the insol-
vent said that ho had acted as interpreter of the French
language, having formerly kept an Italian warehouse.
The insolvent was ordered to be discharged.

BETTING OFFICES.

Maurice Barnett, a respectable looking lad, 16 years
of age, was indicted for having stolen 6/. 103., the monies
of Henry Appleyard, his master. He pleaded guilty.
Mr. lorry appeared for the prisoner, and stated that he
was in the employ of the prosecutor, a news-agent, in
Duke-street, Adelpni, as errand boy. On the first of last
month he was sent out with a cheque for 101., out of which
he was to pay away 34 109. He did so, and afterwards was
induced to go to a betting office, where, after some hesita-
tion, he backed a horse for 35., taking the sum out of his
master's money. He lost ; and then he made another
bet for 2a., to pay back, if successful, the money ho had
and, being
helped himself to. He lost again; afraid to
return to his master, he resolved to leave the country,
and went to Liverpool; and engaged a passage to New
Orleans, for which he paid 3/. 10s. He was on board the
vessel four days, when, from remorse, he came ashore
and gave himself up to the police for stealing his master's
money. By means of the electric telegraph the Liver.
pool police ascertained that his story was true, and he
was brought in custody to London. From Liverpool he
wrote a letter to his parents, which he, the learned
counsel would hand up to the court for perusal, in the
hope that his lordship might be induced to treat the
case leniently. The prosecutor would recommend the
prisoner to mercy, and was kind enough to say that he
would take him again into his service. He then handed
up the letter alluded to.
The Assistant Judge asked the prosecutor if the
statement made was correct.
The prosecutor said it was. Ho thought the prisoner
had given way to a sudden temptation, and he would
take him into his service again, if the court would give
him a short imprisonment.
The Assistant Judge passed sentence. The sentence
was that he bo kept in solitary confinement for ten days,
at the expiration of which he would be given up to his
mister, and he (the Assistant Judge) earnestly hoped
that by his future good conduct he would prove himself
deserving of the kindness and mercy that had been
shown

OPENING OF TERM.

This being the first day of Michaelmas Term, the Lord
Chancellor entertained the Judges and senior members
of the two bars at a derjeuner. The dejcuner was served
at his lordship's private residence. Previous to the re-
ception of the Judges, his lordship had an interview with
the Lord Mayor elect (Alderman Challis, M.P.), and
signified her Majesty's most gracious approbation of the
selection which the citizens had made. The Lord Mayor
and Sheriffs were also in attendance, and they had after-
wards the honour of joining the dejeuner. The Judges
went to Westminster-hal in procession. Tho ball was
very much crowded, and notwithstanding tbo miserable
state of the weather, there was a tolerably good sprink-
ling of ladies amongst the visitors.

CHANCERY COURTS.

The only noticeable feature in the Chancery Courts
was the swearing in of Mr. Stuart, late M.P. for Stam-
ford, who has beenjappointed to a Vico-Chancellorship
in the room of Vice-Chancellor Parker. Tho oaths were
administered to the learned gentleman in the Lord
Chancellor's Court, in the presence of Lord St. Leonard's,
the Lords Justices, and several Vico-Chancellors. Ho
subsequently took his seat, for the first time, in the court
formerly oocupied by Vice-Chancellor Parker. Lord
St. Leonard's looked extremely well, and seemed to have
entirely recovered from the effects of his late accident.
In none of the courts were any motions of importance
made during the morning.

TBE ROBBERY AT LORD LON2DALE'S.

John Puddington, convicted last session of stealing two
gold snuff-boxes, value 1004 and other valuable property,
belonging to the Right Ron. the Earl of Lonsdale, in his
dwelling•house, was brought up to receive judgment.
The Assistant Judge said, after a due consideration of
the case, he felt it to be one in which a severe sentence
must be passed, by way of example, so that others who
wero engaged in their business at places where valuable
property was accessible might be deterred from doing
as he had done. The sentence was that ho be trans-
ported for seven years.

A heavy, and, if we may speak from the complaints
that reached us from all quarters, a very unsatisfactory
settling on the Newmarket races, prevented any regular
business on future events; all that we could make out on
the Epsem Autumn Handicap was that The Varmint,
Tested, and Robbie Noble were nominally at 5 to 1, and
that 700 to 50 and 1,200 to 100 were' laid agst West
Australian, and 3,000 to 100 agst Pharold for the Derby.
