MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, TWO O'CLOCK.
The sales of Cptton at Liverpool yesterday were
estimated at 6,000 bales, of which 500 American were
taken for export, and 1,000 on speculation. The market
closed firmly at previous rates. The sales comprised
5,000 American, 400 roman] and Maranham at 6d. to
60., 300 Egyptian at 54d. to 11d., and 500 Surat at
3d to 4id. per lb.—Railway Shares were not quite so
good.
In produce this week there have been steady but not
important purchases. The supply of sugar upon the
market is adequate to the consumption, but buyers are
awaiting the reduction in the duty upon foreign which
comes into operation next month. Coffee hag been
brisk, and in saltpetre, rice and spices there have been
fair transactions. Cotton and tea have been duller.

Of the public sales of si k Mr. H. W. Eton reports,
that " the bulk of the silk offered was as usual either
withdrawn, or brought in, but a fair business has been
done by private contract during the week, less than is
generally the case in Chinas, but more in proportion in
Bengals. The prices actually realizsci are about the
same as prior to the sale.
There are three vessels from Australia, but they do
not bring later dates, the Regina from Sydney, the
Syria from Port Philip, ai,d the Timandra from South
Australia. The quantity of gold is stated at 22,000
ounces._

on Wednesday evening a young man named Henry Hun-

HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THIS DAY.)
APPEALS..

Their Lordships sat this morning to hear appeals.
Tee Pcers pro seat were Lord Truro, Lord Brougham,
Lord Terriegepe, the Bishop of Loudon, and the Bishop
of S dist-ary.
GOSLING VELEY (THE BRAIZUREE CHURCiS-ItATE
CASE).
The Judges attended to deliver their answers to the
qiestiens which bad been put to them in this case. This
case, under the name of the Braintree Church Hate, has
been so frequently before the public that it will be
scarcely necessary to reiterate the circumstances. The
parish of Braintree has loag been celebrated for its m-
ines! to pay chutch-retes, and has been involved in se-
veral suite before the Consistorial Court in consequence.
The present case dates from the year 1841, when, in
Ctnsequortce of a monition addressed to them by the
Consistorial Court of London, the rector, churchwar-
dens, and parishioners, assembled in vestry, for the
purpose of naekiug a rate to repair the church. At that
vestry an amendment was moved, rejecting the proposi
tion for the levying of a rate, which was carried by a
largo majority. Upon this the defendant, who was then
churchwarden, conceiving that the supporters of the
amendment had abandoned their functions, reads a rate
of 2s. in the pound, with the usual formalities, in spite
of the protest of the dissentient parishioners. To en-
force the payment of this rate a suit was commenced by
the churchwardens against the plaintiff in the Consisto-
riel Court of London, before Dr. Lushiugton,
• .who decided against the validity of the rate.
The churchwardens then appealed to the Arches Court,
stud on the 25th March Sir 11. J. Fast gave judgment
against the plaintiff, reversing the judgment of the court
'below, and pronouncing in favour of the rate. The
plaintiff then applied to the Court of geeen's Bench,
which refused the applicetioe, and tdecieed in favour of
the rate. From this court toe case next came before
the Court of Exchequer Chamber, which in 1850
affirmed the judgment of the court below. Three courts,
• therefore, out of the four before which the case had
come, decided in favour of the rate, and the case was
now brought before their Lordships on a writ of error.
The Learned Judges then delivered their opinions,
Mr. Justice Talfourd, Mr. Justice Wighfman, Mr. Jus-
tice Maule, Mr. Baron Platt, and Mr. Justice Coleridge
being in favour of the validity of the rate; and Mr. Jus-
tice Crompton, Mr. Baron Martin, Mr. Justice Williams,
Mr. Justice Erle, and Mr. Baron Parke being of opinion
that the rate was invalid.
The opinions of the Learned Judges are, therefore,
equally balanced, five in favour of, and five against the
rate.
On the motion of Lord TRURO the opinions of the
Judges were ordered to be printed, and the further con-
sideration of the case adjourned.

ELECTION OF SHERIFFS.
Yesterday was the day appointed for the election of
Sheriffs of London and Middlesex fur the ensuing year.
The Right Hon. the Lord Mayor presided in common
ball, there being present several of the aldermen and
common councilmen, amongst whom we noticed Alder-
men Wire, Carter, Duke, M.P., Sir George Carroll,
Rut., Challis, Sidney, M.P., Salomons, Moon, and
}lnnis; Common Councilmen John Wood, H. L. Taylor,
Godson, De Jersey, Heaps, Deputy Holt, Barnard,
Maugham, Dakin, Osmond, Deputy Lake, M`Gregor,
Blake, and several others. The sheriffs, Messrs. Cotte-
rell and Swift, and the under-sheriffs, Messrs. Millard
and Hopwood, were also present.
The ball was well filled, but the proceedings were not
of that interest which is usually felt upon such occasions.
After the usual preliminaries, the choice of parties for
sheriff took place. Several gentlemen were nominated,
but the choice of the citizens fell upon Mr. Alderman
Carter and Mr. John Hulbert, a merchant of high stand-
ing in the City. The former gentleman, however, de-
clined to serve.
Deputy HOLT then called the attention of the Hall to
the election of auditors of the City accounts for the en-
suing year. He moved that Mr. T. Woodsell Booth, of
the Distillers' Company, be one of them.—Agreed to.
Mr. James Gardiner was also elected.
The following report of the auditors was then agreed
to:—
" We, whose names are hereunto subscribed, elected
by the Livery of London, in Common• hall assembled, on
the 24th of June, 1850, and 24th June, 1851, auditors
of the Chamberlain's account of the Corporation and
Gresham fund, and of the bridgemaster's account of the
Bridge•house estate, do report as follows:
"' That the account of the receipt and expenditure of
the Corporation of the city of London, laid before us
to audit, was the seventh report of Anthony Brown,
ESQ, chamberlain of the city of London.'"
The report gives the cash account from the Ist of
January to the 31st of December, 1850. Subjoined is
the abstract:—Balance on preceding account, 12,8134
17s. 41c1.; receipts of the year 1850 (including the sum
of 70,0001. for building the new House of Correction at
Holloway), 257,4004 10s. 101 d.; expenditure, 247,9311
14s. 24d.; balance of cash upon account on the 31st
December, 1850, 22,2821. 13s. 1 lid.
In the Gresham account the following results ap-
peared.—Balance in the hands of the Chamberlain,
5781. 6s. Ild.
Bridge•house estates, balance in hand, 651. 13s.
The hall was then dissolved.

COURT OF ALDERMEN.
Yesterday a Court of Aldermen was held. The
Sheriffs and Common-Sergeant appeared in court for the
purpose of making the return of the gentlemen elected
to the shrievalty tor the ensuing year.
The names of Alderman Carter, citizen and clock-
maker, and John Hulbert, Esq., citizen and grocer,
having been accordingly returned, the usual forms were
observed.
Sir PETER LAURIE took occasion to observe that a
mistake had been made with respect to the company to
which Mr. Hulbert belonged. In the printed paper,
which he believed bad been issued from the Town
Clerk's office, it appeared that Mr. Hulbert was stated
to belong to the Girdlers Company, which designation
was perfectly correct; but in the paper containing an
account of the return of the sheriffs that gentleman was
called a grocer. That was, he apprehended, an error
fatal to the return.
The Court took no official notice of the error, which
no doubt will be corrected at the proper time.
The City chamberlain and the bridge-masters for the
ye:sr ensuing were sworn in.
The Court then proceeded to consider, with closed
doors, motions proposed by Alderman Wilson connected
with certain privileges of the corporation.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a CJurt was held, for the special purpose of
receiving a report from the Thames Navigation and Port
of London Committee, " for sealing deeds of agreement
with water-works companies."
TEIE GREAT NEW MARKET.
Mr. ELLIOTT wished to know from the chairman of
the Markets Committee what progress the committee
were making as to the purchase of land upon which to
build the new market which was to substitute Smithfield
.Market.—(Hear.)
Mr. H. L. TAYLOR replied that the committee were
proceeding satisfactorily in the purchase of seventy-two
acres of ground upon a site which he would venture to
say was preferable to any other that could be found in
every respect. Is was a site so much more eligible than
the Islington site that no comparison could for a moment
be instituted between them.— (Hear, hear.) It was
quite evident that Islington Market would stand no
chance cf competition when the market of which he
spoke should be erected. It was, he considered, neces-
sary to state so much to the public, as he believed the
Islington Market Company were endeavouring to induce
the public to be the purchasers of their shares.—(Hear,
hear.) That market had always bean a failure, and
always would be henceforward a deadly failure. He
made that communication for the benefit of his fellow-
. ciezens.
[Mr. H. L. Taylor was supposed by the Court to
allude to the ground in Copenhagen- fields, about which
it has been reported they have been for some time ne-
gotiating.]
Mr. Deputy HoLT said money was so lentiful at
P
present that every sort of speculation appeared to be
legitimate.
Mr. ELLIOTT said he supposed that Mr. H. L. Taylor's
object in giving such an sea ser to the question was to
prevent his fellow-citizens from joining in any specula-
tion which was likely to be crushed by coming in contact
with the powerful influence of the corporation.
The deeds of agreement were then sealed.
TUE MORE EASY RECOVERY OF SMALL DEBTS.
Upon the motion of Alderman WIRE, the Bemembran-
cor was directed to draw up an abstract of the City of
London Small Debts Extension Bill for circulation
amongst the cit:zens, the subject being onefe
greatest interest to all classes within the operation of
the Act.
Tao Court adjourned after a very short sitting.

EXTRAORDINARY AND FATAL NSTANCE OF MA-
TERNAL LOVE.—On Monday night Mrl G. S. Brent held an
inquest at the Prince Alfred, Lisson-square, Marylebone, on
M try Mead, aged 44, the wife of a respectable master baker.
B.S. months ago deceased buried a favourite child, for whose
cl;ath she was inconsolable. She would go constantly to
Ken Sal-green Cemetery, throw herself upon the child's grave,
and er3eP for hours. She would then gather the flowers
them in
that
grew over the grave, bring them home, and leave
water until they decayed, when she would eat them. Day
after day she thus indulged her grief, and, upon returning
home last Tuesday week, after visiting hid chit
grave ahe
s
usual, she told her husband, children, and friends, that s
only had a few days to live. She then had the mourning
made for her children, which they were to wear for her, and
having directed her husband to have the dead bell tolled for
her, refused all medical aid, nourishment, and consolation,
until Friday, when she fell a lifeless corpse from her chair
to the ground. Mr. Obre, surgeon, performed the • utop')
and found the deceased died of disease of the
whomhehear h
heart, producedautopsy,
in his opinion by deep affliction. The
denee greatly affected, returned a verdict in accordanceelrejtll;
the medical testimony.
THE WEATHER AND CRoPS IN SCOTLAND.
Enough of rain has now fallen for the growing crops;
..ibori,f,v,
nt
from information from the north and from Ayrshire, we learn
that moisture is much required there. Here wheat i
bursting into ear, and in some of the more forward fields the
ear is fully out, and is unusually large and well developed.
The other crops are making rapid progress, and the almost
universal flush of grass raised by the late genial showers,
has caused an unusual demand for grazing stock of all kinds.
Several fields of hay are cut, but the damp weather has re-
tarded operations. It seems, on the whole, to be a light
crop ; and is the only exception to the most promising ap.
pearance of all kinls of crop that we have bad for several
seasons.— Scotsman.
LECTURES ON GOLD AT THE GOVERNMENT SCHOOL
or, MlNRs.—The council of the Society of Arts have ap-
pointed a deputation to wait upon the director of the Go-
vernment School of Mines, to request that the eminent pro-
fessors of that school should immediately arrange a series of
lectures on gold for the instruction of emigrants to Australia;
and it is understood that they will endeavour to obtain the
delivery of these lecture in the ensuing week.

THE CASE OF DR. ACHILL! AND DR
IVEWMAN.
(From the Times.)
It i 9 curious to elenrve upon what narrow issues the
spirit of party virulene,o and religious discord can cote-
emirate themselves. The animosities of England and
_Scotland centred for a time on the disputed authenticity
of the poems of Ossian, and Whig and Tory never en-
counteredhach other more fiercely than ou the appe-
rently collateral queStion raised by the frailties of
Queen Caroline. The long animosity which has pre-
vailed between the Churches of England and R nue has
been stimulated to the highest point by aggression and
retaliation, by political agitation and private coots°.
veray. In no breast, however, does the flame of reli-
gious hatred burn so fiercely as in that of a convert.
Would you hear all that can be said against the doc-
trieihand discipline of the Church of England?—seek
it from the lips of a renegade priest. Would you hear
the rabid tirades of Exeter-hall against the Church of
Rome outdone?—attend the preachings and read the
publications of some apostate friar. Thus it comes to
pass that questions of the highest dignity and last im-
portance are brought down to the level of a personal
brawl, and that the great cause of the freedom of pri-
vate judgment and the-progress of the human intellect
is bound up with the- questionable character of an
obscure ecclesiastic. We cannot accept this issue; we
cannot concede that this great controversy can be in the
slightest degree advanced by attacking or defending the
character of Dr. Achilli, and we feel that the scandalous
and indecent matter which both parties, in their zeal to
damage each other, have brought before the public eye,
is likely to do more injury to the cause of morality and
religion than any sectarian or controversial triumph can
possibly counterbalance.- In apportioning the blame of
this public scandal it is impossible to acquit Dr. Newman
of having been the deliberate cause of the revolting con-
flict we have just witnessed. In his zeal to destroy the
evidence of Dr. Achilli against the Church, which few
persons have condemned with more severity than himself,
Dr. Newman did not content himself with general and
sweeping charges, but entered into details of time,
place, and name, which were, in fact, more in the nature
of a challenge than a criticism. The challenge was as
greedily accepted as it was vauntingly offered, and
so, by the mutual consent of the professors of two
rival religions which agree in teaching that " Blessed
are the pure in heart," we have been involved in one of
the most indecent investigations which ever sullied the
atmosphere of a court of justice. What has either party
gained by dragging these revolting details before the
public eye? The Protestant supporters of Dr. Achilli
have, indeed, succeeded in painting in very forcible co-
lours the known and admitted tendencies of tho Church
of Rome; they have shown how awfully the superhuman
power which Rome places in the hands of weak and
fallible mortals-may be prostituted and abased. They
have shown that before man shall be permitted to pry
into the heart and probe the conscience of his fellow-
creatures, he ought to be invested with the perfection
as well as the omniscience of the Deity.
Little has the victim of this frightful power to hope
from the boasted discipline of the Church of Rome.
The confessor shrouds the shame of a brother
priest under the injunction of eternal silence. The
religious orders connive at the delinquencies of a
brother whose eloquence can support, and whose
teaching edify, the Church. If scandal becomes trou-
blesome a change of residence removes all difficulties,
and the Church is willing to let the discipline sleep
which cannot be enforced without casting obloquy on the
priestly character, and exposing the hollowness of the
system.on which she builds her pretensions and from
which she derives her riches. The dreaded Inquisition
itself, that name of blood and terror, waxes mild in deal-
ing with merely moral offences, and reserves for heretics
penalties which she is too merciful to impose on the
erring sons of the Church. These things have undoubtedly
been presented to us by this remarkable trial in a tan-
gible shape; but who is there so little versed in the his-
tory of the Romish Church as to require three days of
indecent details in order to convince him that if weak-
ness has compelled abstinence from her favourite sin of
cruelty, the Church of Rome still permits to her minis-
ters scarcely less licence than of old in the indulgence
of unbridled lust? It was tcarcely worth while to pro-
voke such a discussion for the sake of enlightening
those whose knowledge of history was too narrow

stimu-
lating the coarse imaginations of the multitude, to draw
down popular indignation on an antagonist. The ver-
dict in favour of Dr. Achilli, whatever be its effect in
regard to him, leaves this part of the question wholly
untouched. But, while they have been thus successful
in damaging by these most exceptionable means the ob-
ject of their cherished aversion, have the ultra-Pro-
testant supporters of Dr. Achilli done nothing to lower
their own character for fairness and impartiality, to im-
pugn their own judgment, and to bring contempt on their
own proceedings in the never-ending controversy with
the Church of Rome? How comes it that a man sus-
pected in the relations of private life, subjected to penal-
ties which would have been but a feeble retribution for
his alleged vices and crimes, has only to escape from
the prisons of the Inquisition, and to inveigh with
sufficient bitterness and pungency against the head
of a church in which ho was educated, in order to con-
ciliate for himself at once the friendship, the respect, and
the affection of the Protestant party in religious and
moral England? flow comes it that to denounce the
Pope and the Inquisition supersedes the necessity of
inquiry, of caution, sad of probation? A man has no-
thing to do but to desert the belief in which he has been
brought up, which experience informs us is seldom per-
manently exchanged for any other, in order to become
a hero among persons who find in the revelations of
the renegade Papist a stimulus to their curiosity which
no other species of theological incentive can supply.
Let his past life have been as suspicious as it may, the
single merit of conversion supersedes the necessity of
inquiry. Such a man is selected, above all others, to
preside over the education of the' young and pure,
and to teach a religion, his belief of which
is taken on trust. Thus it comes through the
singular want of judgment and less singular, but more
deplorable, itching tor novelty of our pre-eminently
Protestant leaders, that the defence of the doctrines of
the Reformation has been for a moment identified with
the career of a private person who has, at any rate, the
misfortune to be the object of very numerous accusa-
tions. These things the supporters of Dr. Achilli have
brought upon themselves, and, if they have wounded the
Church of Rome, the sword has passed through their
own sides. There is but one party who can gain by
such a course, those whom Dr. Achilli calls the " nega-
tive" party, to whom Protestant and Catholic are both
alike, to whom religion is mere priestcraft, its ministers
hypocrites, and its ceremonies mummeries. Such per-
sons see these things and smile, for they know from this
unchristian conflict both -parties must arise weakened
and discredited, and that the only gainer from such a
struggle will be, not the Protestant prosecutor nor the
Roman Catholic accuser, but the infidel who sneers and
the blasphemer who scoffs at them both.
(From the Daily News.)
The Achilli case is over. The huge scandal that has
crowded the newspapers, and has been the topic of so
many discussions, is—so far as the Queen's Bench and
its reports are concerned—concluded. Never since this
journal was established have the details of such a trial
found record in its columns, and—acting upon the rule
laid down for the exclusion of such details as that of the
Newman libel—never would such a case have been re-
ported by us, had it not presented an aspect very differ-
ent from those which characterise trials revealing m. re
gross but ordinary criminality. In the present case,
however, no rule of exclusion could be permitted to
operate—since it was impossible to separate the charges
against Dr. Achilli from the animus of those who pro-
moted them. The ease has been, in truth, a priestly
quarrel, fought out in a legal court, with debauchery
for the charge, and- oath against oath in the investiga-
tion. It has not been the mere case of a criminal upon
trial. The women who came forward at the instance of
Dr. Newman, as witnesses to declare that the ex-
Dominican priest had polluted them, were not in court
to ask justice against the alleged debauchee. It was
not an investigation of the damage done to the
Cephalonian by criminal conversation with his wife; nor
was it an inquiry into the fitness or unfitness of Dr.
Achilli as a member of the Church under the shadow of
which he is accused of committing so many sins. The
case had a wider scope altogether, and involved a variety
of interests that rendered it imperative upon every
journalist to give each fact brought forward in evidence,
and every argument both for and against the accused.
In short, the case was one between two rival Churches
—the Church of St. Peter and the Church that had its
foundation at the Reformation. It was a strife between
the priesthood of Rome and the Evangelical Alliance—
between a seceder from Popery and the most active
agents of the Pope. The Papist slandered the Protes-
tant, and this disgusting trial has been the result. As
the trial has proceeded, the interest in the public mind
has grown from day to day, until it has spread—with the
reports of the investigation to every corner of
the land. When the case was first opened, the
statements of the witnesses were so decided,
so circumstantial, and so numerous, that the
feeling ran strongly against Achilli—any second thought
upon the subject being one of astonishment at the amount
-of systematic perjury committed, if the various allege-
does against him were untrue. When the case of
Achilli was opened, upon the cross-examination of the
several witnesses, and subsequently by the examination
of the ex-Dominican himself, that astonishment was not
diminished, however much the balance of belief might
have inclined in his favour. Indeed, long before the seve-
ral advocates had fulfilled their duty, it was perfectly
clear that, on one side or the other, there was an amount
of perjury positively terrible to contemplate. Aud when
the balance of evidence turned against the Romanists,
an additional and overshadowing horror arose at the
idea of what ramifications the perjury seemed to pass
through—of what men in high places in the Church of
Rome might be implicated in the crime—and with what
deliberate pertinacity the whole web of untruth had
been weveu, until it seemed strong enough to entangle
and defile, if not destroy, any reputation, however
pure, against which it might ho turned. Many points
of the trial and of the evidence provoke especial criti-
cism. Sir A: Cockburn warned the jury to be on their
guard against the unconscious bias of any Protestant
prejudices. This was en allowable enough oratorical
flourish—a hint that Dr. Newman and his witnesses
might not meet with absolute fair play at the hand' of
professors of an alien creed. But, on the other hand,
it might be urged that the Italian witnesses really were
liable to suspicion on account of the manner in which
they had been ferretted out and brought together. Dr.
Newman sent over emissaries to Italy, who applied to
dignitaries of the Romish Church and inquisitors to aid
them in collecting witnesses to defend their champion,
Dr. Newman, and ditable their antagonist, Dr. Achilli
—by blackening his character. This Lid was willingly
lent. Many Italians were naturally disposed to help
their priests against one whom they de....med an apes-

THE PERSONAL ADVENTURES of" OUR
OWN COURI-!..SPONDENT" in ITALY.
By Michael Burke Ilonad. 2 bola. Chapman.
and Ball.
The reader is particularly informed, at the com-
mencement of these books, that " they are not a
reprint nor a rechauffe of the correspondence from
Italy in the Times." They are, on the contrary,
perfectly original; and the author has specially
avoided making any reference to official statements,
the object being to relate his personal adventures,
and no compile historical facts. The anecdotes are
written in a humorous style, and great ingenuity is
displayed in their arrangement. They are evidently
the reminiscences of one who‘writes con amore, and
enjoys his pleasures over again in the recital. The
events of his travels are very remarkable, and it is
evident that he powsessed the true spirit of a traveller,
especially one seeking information, accommodation to
circumstances, and the genius for contrivance and
invention. This facility enabled him to effect his
entrance where others found closed doors ; and on
one important occasion he managed to convey authen-
tic reports to London of the Congress at Iveplitz, in
Bohemia. This last achievement took place, how-
ever, at a much earlier period. A great deal of infor-
m.ition concerning the war in Italy is here
given, and, from an intimate acquaintance with many
leading Characters, the narrator has gleaned intelli-
gence of much value, which is made manifest in a
novel and attractive manner. To all desirous of ex-
tending their knowledge of that momentous epoch
referred to, and eager to become acquainted with the
customs of those often discussed characters, it will
doubtless be gratifying to meet with, there volumes.
The following. is a sample of his many difficulties :
" I had at Plaisance to undergo the greatest danger
that had occurred to me since the opening of the cam-
paign.
"It seems that my bad manner of pronouncing
Italian, added to my fair compl,xion, and desire to push
forward, had induced several of the violent but not fight-
ing patriots to believe that I was an Austrian, and of
course a spy. Many a man was sacrificed for less
during the latter days of the war of independence—not
where the Piedwontese soldiers were found, for they
were ready to protect one, but in out of the way places,
where native susceptibility or Italian pusillanimity had
full play.
" I was followed from the inn door by a crowd, till
at our arrival at the bridge of boats which crosses the
Po, I had to meet a mob of at feast a thousand men, all
vociferating ‘Tadeschi and Spiel ' followed by the
Consoling word Mortal' Happily for me I retained a
moderate share of composure; so standing up in the
carriage, I entreated a moment's silence, stated I was
an Englishman, and asked if there was any one present
who could read. Thislippeal was answered by a school-
master or a parish clerk, and to him I unfolded first
my British passport, and next the special privilege I
had obtained from Charles Albert. This last document
was a clencher, as it was written in Italian, and bore
all the official seals, and, confirmed by it, the validity of
the passport was admitted. Had I not produced the
Italian pass, the other paper would have been disre-
garded, or rather it exposed me to fresh suspicion, as
no one in reality knew what it meant, and the eagle at-
tached to the Austrian Minister's visa rather produced
an impression against me.
" I saw at a glance, however, that a now doubt was
engendered, certainly not creditable to me, and if I were
first stopped as an Austrian spy, it was clear I was now
sent as one employed by Charles Albert. The mob
cheered me as I drove off, though one moment before
they would have spilled my blood—but such are the
risks we correspondents run, though no lady thinks of
giving us credit for our adventures,"

HISTORY OF THE BRITISH CONQUESTS
IN INDIA. By Horace St. John. Colburn.

This interesting Work commences withthe intro-
duction of the English to India, and follows the his-
tory of the establishment of their power to the present
constitution of the company. It is a singular fact
that the first English who proceeded to India did so
in the simple character of merchants, and the original
charter of their association recognised no idea of
political empire. "It has," observes the author,
" been deprecated by the representatives of British
power in the country, forbidden by peremptory de-
crees of the Imperial Legislature,
opposed by the
supreme authorities in the Company, and, since 1784
especially, incredible pains have been taken to confine
its limits. Their policy throughout has been opposed
to territorial acquisition." The following extract
from the second volume shows, however, that though
opposed to territorial acquisition, it has nevertheless
been their destiny :
" The monuments of a genuine and pious civilization
are not pyramids, or pagodas, or towers, or columns, or
any of those huge trophies by which the daring but bar-
barian genius of a Pharoah or a Mogul endeavoured to
perpetuate its frame. The achievements of the English in
their Indian possessions belong to another order.

" They did not appear to the natives like the Spaniards,
as centaurs, wielding the lightnings of heaven, or like
the Arabs; irressistible in their religious zeal, or like
the Tartars in China, or the Gothic invaders of Southern
Europe. They came without a plan ; they followed
those who had dedicated the old Nestorian churches on
the coast of Malabar, and in less than one hundred years
accomplished the erection of an empire, spacious us
that which nine centuries of Roman conquest, from
Romulus to Trojan., were required to complete. Every
ancient power has disappeared before them. The only
independent princes remaining, are recent usurpations,
and the governors whom their toleration allows to rule,
are standing accusations against their justice, and the
sincerity of their desire to promote the civilization of
Asia."

As e have before said, the work traces the whole
history of British India in its political aspects, as
well as in the more minute details respecting its in.
habitants. The style is attractive, and the informa-
tion to be gained considerable, and though not pos-
sessing the varied adventures of travels to fascinate
the reader, it commands his interest and attention by
its complete and consistent account of so important a
subject as the political history of British India.

ROYAL POLYTECHNIC INTrITUTION.—During this
week the institution has been visited by the Duke of Wel-
lington, Duchess of Northumberland, Duchess of Sutherland
Duchess of Buccleuch, Marchioness of Exeter, Marchioness
of Douro, and a large number of the aristocracy.
ROYAL DISPENSARY FOR DISEASES. OF THE EAR.—
The thirty-fifth annual meeting of the governors and
friends of this useful institution was held yesterday at the
dispensary, Dean-street, Soho-square; the Rev. W. Brock in
the chair. The report stated that the institution had been
in operation upwards of thirty years, and during that time
had been the means of restoring an important faculty to
thousands, who would otherwise have been disqualified from
following their daily vocations. During the past year, 1,029
patients had been received, of whom 335 were cured, 129
relieved, and 502 remained under treatment ; and in no case
had the treatment adopted produced injurious results, where
it failed to effect a cure. The patients generally consisted
of clerks, needlewomen, domestic servants, artisans, dis-
tressed foreigners, soldiers, and sailors, who have received
advice from Mr. Harvey, the medical officer, to whom the
institution is chiefly indebted for its success. The principal
causes of the loss of hearing are stated to be living in confined
or damp localities, the want of due precaution against wet or
dampness, uncleanliness, and insufficient or adulterated food.
The mode of treatment has been purely constitutional.
Operations have not been resorted to except in urgent cases,
and the result is that none have been injured by the system
pursued. In conclusion, the report stated that the funds had
been augmented of late, although not commensurate with
the great increase of applicants. Strict economy had, how-
ever, prevented any great increase of debt. They acknowledged
a legacy of 1051. from the late Mr. T. Roberts, and the ready I
assistance of the clergy. On the motion of Mr. Clarke, who
bore testimony to the able treatment adopted, seconded by
Dr. Richards, the report was unanimously adopted. Other
resolutions were also agreed to, returning thanks to the
patrons, subscribers, and officers of the institution. A vote
of thanks to the chairman concluded the business.
ROYAL GENERAL PENSION SOCIETY.—The annual
general meeting of this society for granting pensions to de-
serving and necessitous aged persona was held yesterday of
the offices of the society,32, Sackville-street, Piccadilly; Sir
Peter Pole, Bart., in the chair. The report of the past year
was read and adopted, from which it appeared that there
were eight men at 3s. 6d per week, and 30 women at 2s. 6d
per week, who were receiving the society's bounty, twenty-
nine of whom were upwards of seventy years of age. The
receipts for the past year amounted to the sum of 354/. 175.,
when, after paying all expenses, there was a surplus fund in
the hands of the treasurer amounting to 236/. 175., in conse-
quence of which it was determined to raise the weekly pay-
ments sixpence per week extra.
INFANT ORPHAN ASYLUM, WANSTEAD.—Yesterday
the anniversary fete of the above institution took place in
the beautiful grounds and building at Wanstead. The
weather, was truly propitious, and drew fourth a numerous
and fashionable assembly of about 400 ladies and gentle-
men, amongst whom were Earl Manvers, Lord R. Grosvenor
and daughter, the Bishop of St. Asaph, Lord Calthorpe, Sir
J. Morrison and lady, &c. The examination of the 280
children gay& great satisfaction. Subscriptions were an--
flounced to the large amount of 5,53€1., which included do-
nations from her Majesty, Prince Albert, the Duchess of
Kent, Lord R. Grosvenor, &c.
MR. WILLIAM COBBETT.—Three returns have
just been printed by order of the House of Lords, in addi-
tion to the one already noticed, showing the writs and ap-
plications for writs of habeas corpus and the number of
actions brought by Mr. William Cobbett in the common law
courts. In the Crown side of the Court of Queen's Bench
5 writs of habeas corpus were issued, and out of the plea
side 19. In fbrnici pauperis there were 14 cases, and in
person, 5, making the 19. In the same side were 7 actions
brought. In the Court of Common Pleas 4 writs of habeas
corpus were issued, besides which 10 applications for writs
were made to the Court sitting in banco, all of which, with
the exception of one, were refused. In the same court two
actions were brought, and no further steps taken. In the

Achilli might, at this moment, expose any Italian
to a charge of favouring him. Lastly, it was naturally
first interrogated by her curate a; to whether she could
enough stated by Eleanor Giustini or Vallenti that when
tell anything against Dr. Achilli, she inquired wheteer
it would be " eel' her own good?" and was assured it
was " for the honour of the holy Church," " for the
honour of God." Undue influence it is clear could be
brought to bear on the Italian witnesses; undue influence,
it Vallenti can be believed, was brought to bear on at
least one of them. These proceedings cannot exactly be
callecl unprecedented in an English court of justice. The
charges brought against Dr. Achilli, and the means re-
sorted to for obtaining witnesses in support of them, re-
mind one of the trial of Queen Caroline, and the green-
bag commission of Milan. The charges were spread over
twenty-six years of Dr. Achilles life; he was called upon
to rebut charges of inemtittenee with persons no; named,
in places and at times not specified. It was a terrible ordeal
to undergo which no man unsupported by conscious inno-
cence, and even in that case no raau not possessed of more
than average courage, could have braved. The parallel
with the case to which we have compared Dr. Achilli's
is the stronger from the entire breaking down of the
evidence so unscrupulously brought together. We have
no space to examine the whole of that evidence in detail,
but, taking it in groups or clesses its weakness, its ir-
relevance, can easily be indicated. There was a Cathoic
priest adduced to prove the general bad character of
Achilli, and some documentary evidence was offered in
support of his testimony; there were witnesses brought
forward to prove specific offences in Italy, Malta, and
the lonian Islands; there were witnesses produced to
prove (.ffences in England. With regard to the first,
the priest stated that at the time to which he referred he
.was a boy of from, ten to thirteen years of age. Among
all the priests and monks of Viterbo, was there none
who was then of mature years to speak from actual obser-
vation to what the younker
spoke of from hearsay?
He declared that Achilli had a bad character
at Viterbo, but admitted that he did not know why-

woman's door at night, and another e

who swore that he had seen the husband seize Achilli,
though he confessed he had never seen

since, and consequently could not know him. It is
strong corroboration of Achilles truthfulness that he
frankly admitted the incident, the proof of which had
so signally failed, and produced the woman to allow of her
being cross-questioned. Of Mr. Reynolds, who spoke to an
alleged offence at Zante, it is enough to say that be is
hostile to Dr. Achilli, who rebuked him for intem-
perance—that he admits he has varied in the reasons he
has at different times assigned for suspecting Achilli—
that in the witness-box he betrayed his state of mind
by assuming what he was afterwards
obliged to admit
he did not know—and that there are contradictions
between his own evidence and that of his servant. As
to the witnesses brought forward to prove criminality
in England, their characters, as described by themselves,
would be enough to deprive them of credit. And all
of them admitted that they had been silent in cir-
cumstances when it is scarcely credible they could
have abstained from making the charges now pre-
ferred—and all of them speak under the influence of
anger. These and all other points of the case were
doubtless fully considered by the jury who—after the
three days' investigation had closed—deliberated amongst
themselves for between two and three hours before
giving their verdict in favour of Dr. Achilli. And what
does that verdict do? It shows to the fullest extent
that Father Newman did indeed slide from the altitude
of Christian faith to the depths of unworthy slander.
It shows that his zeal for his new faith tempted him to
leave logic, and argument,
weapons for his use-..to take up a series of unworthy
and slanderous allegations ready at hand in the pages of
a Ronaish review, in which they had been placed by an
unknown anonymous but scarcely and learning—the proper
writer. - But the ver-
dict does more. It confirms
the dark suspicions that
began to accumulate when the Italian women came,
one after another, into the witness-box to swear
away the reputation
of Achilli. Indeed, imagi-
nation is positively fatigued in the attempt
g
to follow out those ramifications of criminality

must be one vast conspiracy_

BRITISH ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH COM-
PANY BILL.
Thrown out upon the ground that "Standing
Order No. 176 of the House of Lords" was applicable,
and had not been complied with, and ought not to be
dispensed with.

The following is a copy of. a memorial about to
be presented to the Prime Minister from the bankers,
merchants, brokers, shipowners, and others of the
large cities, manufacturing and seaport towns of
England, Scotland, and Ireland.

London, June 24, 1852.

THE HUMBLE MEMORIAL OF BANKERS, MERCHANTS,
SHIPOWNERS, MANUFACTURERS, AND OTHERS, OF THE
TOWN AND PORT OF LIVERPOOL.

TO THE RIGHT HON. THE EARL OF DERBY,
PRIME MINISTER, &C.
_ __ . .

Sheweth—That your memorialists in particular, and
the public in general, have lately sustained a great injury
in the loss of the British Electric Telegraph Company's
Bill, under circumstances so wholly unprecedented, as to
point to the absolute necessity of some constitutional
measures being adopted to insure for the public un assi-
milation of those technical regulations of the two Houses
of Parliament professedly formed for the protection of
the public, and known as the Standing Orders.
That while your memorialists fully admit the consti-
tutional and practical importance of separate inquiries
being made in each House of Parliament into the merits
of every Bill, they earnestly submit that common justice
and common sense alike imperatively require either that
one inquiry in limine as to matters of form should suffice,
or that the two inquiries as to matters of form should, by
arrangement between the two Houses of Parliament, take
place in the outset of every Bill.
That the contrary practice often entails the following
state of things:—
. _

A Bill is introduced into the House of Commons.
The Standing Orders are inquired into for days
together before the examiners, who find them to
have been complied with.
Leave is therefore given to introduce the Bill.
The Bill is introduced accordingly.
It is read a second time, and large House fees in-
curred.
It goes before a Select Committee, where many
thousand pounds, great industry, and much time are
spent in establishing its merits.
The Select Committee reports favourably.
The report is considered.
The Bill is read a third time, and then sent to the
Lords.
Then commences the most grievous anxiety on the
part of the promoters, not in respect of the merits of
the measure, for all admit that it is just enough that
a review of the merits (being in the nature of an
appeal) should take place.

But all this anxiety arises from the revi►al of the
points of mere form with which all this costly process
first began, viz., Standing Orders :
In vain do the provincial public express their incredu-
lity that a measure thus far tostered by so much money,
labour, and care, can possibly be allowed to be wrecked
in half an hour by the putting upon pure forms a con-
struction differing from that which had in the outset
with infinite pains been put upon the same forms ; or
by the sudden leap into life of a standing order long
since believed and understood to be dead, and which had
passed into desuetude for more than 21 years.
The work of months of labour is extinguished, the
parties have practically no appeal, and they go home to
complain bitterly that they have suffered in a manner
which no foresight could have guarded against, but
which, nevertheless, a slight amount of co-operation and
courteous understanding elsewhere might have wholly
prevented.
They have not the comfort of feeling that this Bill
has fallen in a fight on merits, but as it were in an un-
worthy and obscure skirmish, which they would have
avoided if they could, or they feel it to have been thrown
into a mediaeval oubliette, the existence of which they
could scarcely bring themselves to believe.
That such has been the fate of ono of the most im-
portant, useful, and necessary measures of the present
year.
That your memorialists allude to the British Electric
Telegraph Company's Bill, which, having been for four-
teen days investigated betore a Select Committee of the
Rouse of Commons, was unanimously approved of by
that Committee, and which was carried by a majority of
150 on the second reading.
That the following matters were, among others,
proved before that Committeet--
That the old Electric Telegraph Company had
succeeded in drawing a hitherto impassable barrier
or cordon around the metropolis, so that no electric
communication can reach or leave London by rail-
way but by the telegraphs of the old company
only.

That the old company have effected that state of
things by coercing or by inducing, for valuable con-
sideration, railway companies to exclude the tele-
graph of other companies from railways having
termini in London.
The chairman of the Great Northern Railway,
Company gave evidence before the Committee of
such coercion having been effectually practised upon
that reluctant company.
That the chairman of the Old Electric Telegraph
Company has a private signal, known as " A. K.,"
and that the moment any message with that signal
is sent to any of such Company's Telegraphic
Stations, all other business is instantly put aside and
precedence given to " A. K." before all messages,
even those of her Majesty's Government, or of the
Royal Family.
That the chairman of the Old Electric Telegraph
Company has the telegraph wires carried into his
own private house.
That the public are highly dissatisfied with the
present mode of conducting the electric telegraph
communications to and from the metropolis, and
earnestly desired, and by very numerous petitions
to both Rouses of Parliament, prayed (though
prayed in vain) for the sate passage through Par-
liament of the British Electric Telegraph Company's

That your memorialists, in speaking on a public sub-
ject, are fairly entitled, without imputing any motives,
or desiring, or in the slightest degree intending to sug-
gest or insinuate anything unworthy; to say that in this
great commercial country, where knowledge is indeed
power, and where the first intelligence upon public
matters of importance is invaluable, and may be indeed
a source of untold wealth, these gigantic powers ought
not to remain as at present in the sole keeping of the
old Electric Telegraph Company, but ought to be at the
equal service of the public.
That the Select Committee were satisfied that the
British Electric Telegraph Company's Bill would have
remedied these public evils by accomplishing the follow-
ing objects:-
1. A compulsory power (subject in the case of
each railway both to the veto and to the regulations
to be made by the Board of Trade) to take tele-
graphs along the railways so as to reach the me-
tropolis. •

2. Limited liability (as to future matters), with-
out which it was clearly proved by most eminent
witnesses to the Select Committee that no company
could raise the capital, from time to time required
to carry on the business of the public, and to erect
telegraphs for the use of the Government, especially
in the face of the gigantic status and monopoly ob-
tained by the old Electric Telegraph Company by
the means before mentioned.,
That this most important Bill came under the fullest
consideration of the Government, and passed the House
of Commons amidst the good wishes and congratulations
of the public, and especially of that portion of the pub-
lic which is suffering so much from the present system,
and which knows how to appreciate the inestimable
value of the progress and development of one of the
greatest boons which a beneficent Providence has of late
years given to mankind.
That, on the suggestion of the old Electric Telegraph
Company and their allies, this important measure has
been treated as deserving to be thrown out, because, in
pursuance of a Standing Order (No. 176), the British
Electric Telegraph Company had not deposited in the
Bank of England the enormous sum of 225,0001., being
three-fourths of the maximum amount contemplated to
be raised under the powers of the Bill from time to time,
as the extension of telegraphs might be required, which
sum, under the circumstances above detailed, it is alto-
gether' unnecessary for your memorialists to say the
company could not raise and deposit and the raising of
which sum, moreover, in the first instance would be a
most extravagant and useless proceeding, inasmuch as
the very nature of these telegraphic works is their gra-
dual extension as exigencies from time to time arise.
That your memorialists desire to make every state-
, went within the strictest bounds of accuracy, and, there-
, fore, they respectfully beg that careful inquiry may be
made into a statement which they have reason to be-
lieve, viz., that such Standing Order had slept in desue-
tude,for about twenty-one years, until the 21st of June,
1852—in fact, during a time sufficiently long for a new
generation to be born and to grow up.
That the said Standing Order was made so long ago as
the 2d of June, 1824, to meet the bubble companies,
which were the offspring of the then monetary excite-
ment, and is opposed to the whole current of the modern
amended Standing Orders relating to public works; and,
as an evidence thereof, your memorialists state the
striking fact that it applies just as much to railways,
water-works, gas-works, &e., as it can by any ingenuity
be made to apply to electric telegraphs; and that, (had
it not happily fallen into desuetude) its application
would as effectually have prevented the existence at this
moment of almost every railway, &c., in the kingdom,
as ,its recent application seems unhappily but too
likely to keep this country behind all other countries
in the use and spread of the electric telegraph.
That in the case of several public works analogous to
electric telegraphs, not even a subscription contract is re-
quired by the Standing Orders, and in the case of no
other public work whatsoever do the Standing Orders of
either House of Parliament require more on that head
than the following:-
1. A subscription contract to the extent of three-
fourths of the estimates.
2. One-tenth only of the three-fourths so sub-
scribed to be deposited in the Bank,
And yet, in consequence of this revival of a Stand-
ing Order passed many years before electric telegraphs
were known, and when railways themselves were only
just beginning their existence, it will be quite impossible
for an electric telegraph company to obtain the same
footing as other 'companies of vastly less importance,
unless such Electric Telegraph Company can do what no
other company ever could do, viz.—find and actually
deposit three-fourths of its capital as a condition, pre-
cedent to getting its Act giving it incorporation like
railway, gas, and other like companies.

others, including The Italian, Maid of Team -ti m ten
and Pelopidas. This race of The Cutler it must be re_
e
membered was only for a mile, and at that distance, at
moderate weight, he will be found very dangerous during
the present year.
The fact of Azeth being dead amiss did not reach me
in sufficient time to enable me to give it publicity so as
to prevent money being thrown away on his chance for
the Second Triennial Produce Stakes, or the loss of
many p.p. bets about him would not have occurred. If
he had been in anything like form, it is perfectly clear to
any one that the Miss Whip colt would have stood no
earthly chance of defeating him; as it was, Lord Glas-
gow's colt quietly walked over.
That clever filly of Mr. Bell's, by lago out of Miss
Eliza, 'yclept Ann Eliza, managed to beat Osborne's
Lambton very cleverly by a neck for the Tyro Stakes;
Charming Woman finishing a bad third. Both Ann
Eliza and Lambton are useful animals in a second-rate
field, but would have very little chance if pitted against
any first-rate class two years old.
Happy Joe somewhat astonished his friends and the
public by winning the Trial Stakes cleverly from Sham-
rock, Brawn, and five others, including Agnes Wickfield
and England's Glory. This performance of Happy Joe's,
who previous to the race was valued at 50 pounds or under,
found him a new proprietor at 200 sovs. Here it must
be also borne in mind that this victory was obtained
over the T. Y. C., and that any distance exceeding that
would be completely against the horse, as his qualities
are those of speed for a short distance, but without the
power of staying.
The Produce Stakes on Wednesday were won some-
what unexpectedly, and yet very easily, by Sir C.
Monck's colt by Touchstone out of Garland, who beat
the favourite, Lord Faueonberg, the son of Birdcatcher,
and Alice Hawthorn, without any difficulty by two
lengths.

The Northumberland Plate resulted, as I and every-
body else expected, in favour of Mr. Meiklam's
slashing colt Stilton, who won without any difficulty
under the pilotage of Aldcroft by half a length;
Colsterdale, giving only four pounds for the year Ito
the victor, being second, Cossack a bad third, Snowdrlt
fourth, Caracara fifth, the gelding by Morgan Rattler
sixth, Stafford seventh, and Neasham, who finished his
racing career by breaking down, last. The race was
run at a fair pace from end to end, and well tests the
merits of Stilton as a race-horse. The immediate con-
sequence of his victory was of course his elevation to the
rank of first favourite for the Goodwood Cup, for which
he stands a chpital chance, and not more than 3 to 1 is
obtainable about his winning it. This victory, however,
entirely spoils his chance for any of the great handicaps
of the present year, for he is sure to be dosed with a stiff
weight—too stiff to win, I calculate.
Mr. Meiklam's rattling filly Evadne, after carrying
6st 61b, and running second to the Cutler at 7st slb
for the Members' Plate on Monday, comes out on the
following day with 6st 111 b up, and beats the Knight
of the Garter, receiving but 101 b for the year, for the
Free Handicap, by a head, after a beautiful race, walking
over the same day for the third Triennial Produce Stakes,
Pelopidas being afraid to meet her; and yesterday
finishing her three days' performances by defeating
that wonder of other days, Nancy,
rather easily than
otherwise, by three parts of a length. These per-
formances are very superior, and prove that getting a
distance and speed are qualities she is not deficient in;
her victories this week having been over the mile, three
quarters of a mile, and two mile courses. She must not
be forgotten.
It is an old saying, that " it never rains but it pours,"
for Dawson, after having swept the Northumberland
Plate Free Handicap, Third Triennial, and Gold Cup,
brings out his Chief Justice, who is evidently much im•
proved since last year, and wins her Majesty's Plate
very easily with him from the Marinette colt, Presto, and
four others, on the .Wednesday; and the Corporation
Plate, with tist 71b up, beating a good field yesterday.
Such luck as this is not often seen. The greater part
of the good things this year seem destined to find their
way into the northern stables.
Sir Charles Monck's Brother to Vanguard, after beat-
ing Lord Fauconberg on Wednesday, was again victo-
rious yesterday in the race for the Grand Stand Stakes,
'beating with considerable ease Anteverta, Lambton,
Roger Thornton, and Nestor. In my opinion this
horse is quite equal to his brother ;
in and being so,
will often bear Sir Charles's colours the van; more-
over,
he is very susceptible of improvement, his present
condition and appearance being not altogether of the
most blooming description.
The Gateshead Lottery Stakes being over the two
mile course, suited Pelopidas to a nicety, he winning,
rather easily from Happy Joe and that curiously named
horse The Varmint.
The Speculation Plate and Scurry Handicap require
no comment.
The three southern meetings of Bibury, Stockbridge,
and Winchester, I shall make a point of dilating upon
to-morrow. —I am, &c.
